Unresolved Grief
Topic Overview
There is no definite point in time or a list of symptoms that define unresolved grief. The term unresolved grief (sometimes called prolonged or chronic grief) is grief that lasts longer than usual for a person's social circle or cultural background. It may also be used to describe grief that does not go away or interferes with the person's ability to take care of daily responsibilities.
Complicated grief is a period of intense grief and anxiety that lasts 6 months or more. Complicated grief responds well to counseling. A grief counselor can help you work through your grief and learn to accept your loss.
Unresolved grief tends to be more common in people who:
- Are unsure how they feel about the person, object, or situation they lost.
- Have a negative opinion of themselves (low self-esteem).
- Feel guilty about the loss, such as people who think they could have prevented a serious accident or death.
- Think the loss was a result of unfairness, such as losing a job from apparent discrimination or losing a loved one as a result of a violent act.
- Experienced the unexpected or violent death of a loved one. People who experience a traumatic loss are at risk for developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
- Experience a loss that others do not recognize as significant, such as miscarriage, retirement, or losses related to aging.
How people express unresolved grief varies. People may:
- Act as though nothing has changed. They may refuse to talk about the loss.
- Become preoccupied with the memory of the lost object or person. They may not be able to talk or think about anything else.
- Become overly involved with work or a hobby.
- Drink more alcohol, smoke more cigarettes, or take more medicines.
- Become overly concerned about their health in general or about an existing health condition and see a doctor more often than usual.
- Become progressively depressed or isolate themselves from other people.
In addition to the list above, teens may show unresolved grief by using illegal drugs, taking part in illegal activities (such as stealing), or having unprotected sex. They may also become more accident-prone, avoid their friends, and have difficulty completing school work.
Young children may show unresolved grief by developing behavior problems or expressing fears about being alone, especially at night.
People with unresolved grief who do not seek treatment are more likely to develop complications such as depression as a result of grieving.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Homicide detectives are investigating the body of a man found on the beach of Little Talbot Island on Wednesday afternoon.
Jacksonville Fire-Rescue initially responded to the report of a body found, then the Sheriff's Office sent a detective to the 12000 block of State Road A1A.
Police and officers from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission were on the scene. The FWC said someone alerted park rangers to the body on the beach, and FWC officers saw the body in the water, then called police.
The body was removed from the scene.
FWC officers said the scenario of how the man died is uncertain and the investigation is being handled by JSO. The victim has been identified, but his family is out of state and has not been notified, so his name was not released.

Dennis Dechaine's attorney, Steve Peterson, says he hopes that new DNA evidence will create enough reasonable doubt to justify a retrial for the former farmer from Bowdoinham.
Convicted child-murderer Dennis Dechaine faces two days of hearings in Cumberland County Superior Court, starting today. Dechaine's defense team hopes to present DNA evidence that will lead to a re-trial.
Dechaine is currently serving a life sentence for the 1988 kidnapping and murder of 12-year-old Sarah Cherry of Bowdoin. Twenty-four years after Dechaine's sentencing, his lawyer, Steve Peterson (left), is hoping that new DNA evidence will create enough reasonable doubt to justify a retrial for the former farmer from Bowdoinham.
"What we're expecting is testimony from a private investigator today, who's going to testify about DNA that we recovered on an alternative suspect," Peterson said, before heading into the hearing.
Peterson says the defense team will also present testimony from two experts, who'll be talking about additional DNA testing done by a lab in Texas called Cellmark.
"There were five different reports done by Cellmark Lab, and they're going to be testifying as to what they contrue the meaning of those findings to be," Peterson says.
"As far as the state's concerned, the evidence of his guilt is overwhelming, and remains overwhelming," says Deputy Attorney General Bill Stokes.
Stokes is adamant Dechaine should remain behind bars for the rest of his life. He says the state plans to present its own expert witnesses on Friday, "who will be explaining the limitations of the DNA - what it means and what it doesn't mean, and what conclusions you can draw from the DNA testing."
The hearing at Cumberland County Superior Court was due to begin Thursday morning, but it was delayed until the afternoon, due to transportation issues getting Dechaine to Portland from the Maine State Prison in Warren, where he's being held.

Campaign finance reports filed last week indicate that more than half of that total was spent by outside groups.
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) _ Total spending for Maine's U.S. Senate campaign topped $11 million, with more than half of that attributed to outside groups.
According to final campaign finance reports filed last week with the Federal Election Commission, independent Sen.-elect Angus King raised a total of $2.8 million in his bid for the seat being vacated by Sen. Olympia Snowe.
Maine Today Media reports Republican Charlie Summers raised about $1.1 million over the course of the campaign. Democrat Cynthia Dill raised roughly $170,600 for the campaign cycle.
Independent groups funneled $7.4 million into the campaign.
Total spending for the 2012 Senate campaign fell short of the $14 million spent during the 2008 campaign between Republican incumbent Sen. Susan Collins and Democratic challenger Rep. Tom Allen.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) -- The beginning of space shuttle Endeavour's final flight to California has been postponed because of weather along the flight route.
NASA had planned for the 747 carrying the shuttle to take off from Kennedy Space Center on Monday. The flight is now scheduled to take off at sunrise Tuesday.
Low flyovers are still planned along Cape Canaveral and at NASA facilities in Louisiana and Mississippi. A stop in Houston will be shortened to one day.
Endeavour is expected to arrive in Los Angeles on Thursday for its eventual installation at the California Science Center. Endeavour is the second of NASA's three retired shuttles to head to a museum. Discovery landed at the Smithsonian Institution's display hangar in Virginia last spring. Atlantis will remain at Kennedy.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Safety officials say deaths of bicyclists and occupants of large trucks rose sharply last year even as total traffic fatalities dropped to their lowest level since 1949.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Monday that its analysis of traffic deaths in 2011 showed deaths of bicyclists jumped 8.7 percent and deaths of occupants of large trucks increased 20 percent.
Overall traffic fatalities dropped 1.9 percent, to 32,367. The decline came as the number of miles driven by motorists dropped by 1.2 percent.
Safety experts said they suspect the increase in bicycle deaths reflects more people riding bicycles to work and for pleasure. They said the increase in deaths of large-truck occupants may be due to more trucks returning to the road as the economy improves.

Generations of Waverleys tended this garden. Their history was in the soil. But so were their futures.
A successful caterer, Claire Waverley prepares dishes made with her mystical plants - from the nasturtiums that aid in keeping secrets and the pansies that make children thoughtful, to the snapdragons intended to discourage the attentions of her amorous neighbor.
Meanwhile, her elderly cousin, Evanelle, is known for distributing unexpected gifts whose uses become uncannily clear. They are the last of the Waverleys - except for Claire's rebellious sister, Sydney, who fled Bascom the moment she could, abandoning Claire, as their own mother had years before.
When Sydney suddenly returns home with a young daughter of her own, Claire's quiet life is turned upside down - along with the protective boundary she has so carefully constructed around her heart. Together again in the house they grew up in, Sydney takes stock of all she left behind, as Claire struggles to heal the wounds of the past. And soon the sisters realize they must deal with their common legacy - if they are ever to feel at home in Bascom - or with each other.
©2007 Sarah Addison Allen; (P)2007 Brilliance Audio
"The blending of horticultural folklore, the supernatural and a big dollop of Southern flavor should find favor with a wide swath of readers." (Publishers Weekly)
"Spellbindingly charming, Allen's impressively accomplished debut novel will bewitch fans of Alice Hoffman and Laura Esquivel." (Booklist)
"I so want to give it 5 stars...!!!!"
I have always enjoyed a little bit of magic in storytelling. Though I'm not a big fan of romantic novels, Garden Spells has just that type of mix of magic and romance that I enjoy. This was such an enjoyable read that I wish Ms. Allen would continue writing about these characters. I really enjoyed the Waverly's and their garden, especially their special apple tree. The southern charm was almost a character unto itself. I wish there was a cookbook that accompanied the novel so that I could try some of Clarie's recipes; and the obvious knowledge of edible flowers and herbs was extensive, making me want to start growing a flower herb garden. The only reason I couldn't give this a 5 star rating is because of the lack of detail in some of her writing. I would have loved to know more details about Sydney's life in Seattle or Clarie's when she was young with her mother or how Clarie had decided to become a caterer. I felt drawn into the Waverly home but intimate details outside of that magical place was pale in comparison, which may be Allen's intention. But I often wished as I read that instead of telling me things, she would show through character development. But this doesn't take away from how much I enjoyed the obvious love & magic of these characters and overall story. I will be listening to this book again and again just to stop in and visit these characters and this interesting magical place. A great first book!!!
I just loved it! The author is so beautifully descriptive and the narrator was just perfect. I loved the scents from the Waverley garden and kitchen. I could feel the magic of those scents and the colors that celebrated Claire's mood and passion. I can listen to it over and over. I originally bought the hardcover book, but couldn't pack it when I went on vacation because of airline weight restrictions. So I downloaded the audiobook to my MP3 player with the intention of giving away the hardcover book. Oh no! not anymore. This book is a keeper!
"Wonderfully enchanting"
I loved this audio book, and like another reviewer am going to get the paper version as a keeper. The characters were flawed in real ways and the magic in the story was intertwined so well that it was just a part of the story. It definitely left me wanting more stories of the town.
"A touch of magic"
The Waverleys have always been an strange family. The Waverley women each has a gift that makes them, individually and collectively, outsiders even in their home town of Bascom, North Carolina.
Evanelle, for one -- she comes bearing gifts she is compelled to give to someone-- a box of pop-tarts, a skein of yarn, a shirt several sizes too large. And yet, every time, what she brings soon turns out to be useful in some way. Crucially useful, even.
Claire, who inherited her grandmother's Queen Anne house, tends to the flower and herb garden, and uses its products in her catering business, ingredients that, used just so, produce interesting results. And the garden has this strange apple tree...
Sydney, Claire's younger sister, left home as soon as she was old enough, but now returns fleeing an abusive marriage with her little girl in tow. With Sydney home, things start to change -- and Claire is not altogether certain she wants them to. Especially not when it comes to that disconcertingly attractive artist/teacher who just moved next door.
It's a nicely written book-- charming, sweet, just that hint of magic. At times, it reminded me of S.E. Phillips, other times of Jenny Crusie. And Sydney's story will remind you of Nell from the Three Sisters Island books by Nora Roberts.
Highly recommended.
"Fun, enchanting"
I loved this audiobook so much, I will be buying the print version to have for when I have more sedentary time in my life. The characters are fun, familiar, real. The setting enchanting. There is a believable magic in the air, the garden, the soil, the personalities. Wonderful, fun!
"Delightful and different"
I originally listened to this book free through my library account, but I liked it so much, I bought it as a keeper.
Garden Spells is funny, sad, poignant, and romantic, and there's that apple tree that just fascinated me.
I predict this author will be hitting the NYT Bestseller list in the near future.
"So love earthy witch stories."
Good story. The story and relationships are a little meatier than a lot of books in this genre,
But the best part was the descriptions of the magical effects of different flowers and plants. It was all presented so well that it seemed plausible you could whip up a love potion cupcake in the kitchen. (I have added a few edible flowers to my garden this Spring! Just in case.)
Worth the credit.
"Perfectly Charming"
Other reviews spin this book negatively claiming that the storyline mimics Practical Magic. Well, the reviews are right - the storyline is very similar to Practical Magic, but that was perfecly fine by me. I enjoyed Practical Magic. This story is indeed very similar, but not identical. I was in the mood for a "feel good" quick story and this satisfied that craving. The characters are all very likeable and endearing. The story was predictable, but again, I didnt mind. I finished it with a smile on my face. I have no complaints. It was perfectly charming.
"Just OK"
The book was OK, a bit predictable, but with enough of a different premise that I kept going. I liked the narrator as well which always helps. The characters were a bit formulaic and their growth during the tale was nothing unexpected. If you like cozy little mysteries wrapped in mystical occurrences, this is right up your alley. I just kept wanting something more.
The ending was fine. It did wrap up rather suddenly and if you've listened this far you can probably predict what happens for yourself.
This book really made me wish I had a garden again. I miss cooking with fresh herbs I've grown myself. I did love the details of the food and how the fresh ingredients were used to produce the desired effects in those who consumed them.
The narrator is great. I'd listen to almost anything she reads.
"Not my favorite narrator"
I bought this book on sale which made it worth it, It wouldn't have been worth it if
i'd used a credit to get it since there are much better books out there to listen to.
The narrator's voice really bothered me.
For me it did because she narrates a lot of mediocre murder mystery novels and that's all I could think of while listening.

RPM Installer for Konqueror or Dolphin in KubuntuSubmitted by chadm on Sat, 2007-04-21 13:51. Blogs | dolphin | konqueror | kubuntu | rpm
I'm a Kubuntu user and I ran into a situation recently where the app I wanted to install only came in an RPM. I've run into this situation before and always have to remember alien's syntax so I can install the RPM from Konsole. Kubuntu has a menu where I can right-click a DEB file in Konqueror to install it, so why not RPM's? Once I got bored of gripping I decided to create my own.

Is VMware Player Faster than VMware Server?Submitted by chadm on Thu, 2007-04-12 07:54. Blogs | virtualization | vmware
I've been a VMware Player user since it was first released, but I recently decided to switch to VMware Server when I found out that it supports dual processors and snapshots. To my dismay I frequently experienced mouse lag, slow graphics, and keyboard sticking. Switching back to VMware Player resolved my issues and was noticeably faster. Has anyone else seen a performance difference between the two?
A Need for Kubuntu Live CD Repair ToolsSubmitted by chadm on Wed, 2007-04-04 22:16. Blogs | kubuntu
Repair and recovery tools continue to be difficult for inexperienced, and often experienced, users. Most top distros come with a Live CD that allow you to boot into a desktop and also install from it. That's great, but it should be just as easy to repair an existing installation. Unfortunately it's not so easy.
What Spreadsheet do you use on your Linux System?Submitted by chadm on Sat, 2007-03-31 23:16. Blogs | gnumeric | kspread | openoffice.org | poll | spreadsheet
Following my comparisons between OpenOffice.org Calc, KSpread, and Gnumeric I got to wondering what spreadsheets are the most popular for all you other GNU/Linux users. I started a poll that you can find here. Promote your favorite and vote.
Options include OpenOffice.org Calc, KSpread, Gnumeric, Excel through Wine/Crossover/Virtual Machine, PlanMaker, FlyCalc, Google Spreadsheet, Oleo, and SC. Of course you can also vote for Other and write-in your choice.
Gnumeric vs. OpenOffice.org CalcSubmitted by chadm on Fri, 2007-03-30 07:53. Blogs | gnumeric | kspread | openoffice.org | spreadsheet
In my previous post OpenOffice.org Calc prevailed against KSpread, but now it's faces a new challenger. Will Gnumeric have what it takes to win the crown? Gnumeric is a Free, open source spreadsheet from the GNOME project.
Linux on the Desktop is Building MomentumSubmitted by chadm on Thu, 2007-03-22 17:57. Blogs
I have noticed that mention of Linux on the desktop seems to be building in the media, but it hasn't been clear if that noise correlated to more users actually switching to it. Based on the results of my admittedly unscientific poll, Linux does appear to be building momentum.
Backing Up with KeepSubmitted by chadm on Thu, 2007-03-15 22:44. backup | Blogs | keep
Keep is the second entry in my Backing Up series. It is a lightweight app that makes it simple to create and manage multiple backups. At first glance Keep's feature set looks very solid, but when trying it out I quickly discovered some limitations that really limit its potential.
KSpread vs. OpenOffice.org CalcSubmitted by chadm on Sat, 2007-03-10 13:16. Blogs | koffice | kspread | openoffice.org | spreadsheet
I've been using OpenOffice.org Calc for a while now, but I recently decided to give KSpread a try after getting frustrated with Calc's slow load times. It rarely bothered me on my desktop system because I have 4GB of RAM and usually leave the program open, but my work laptop runs Windows XP, forcing me to run Kubuntu in a virtual machine. Unfortunately disk access is significantly slower and memory capacity is much smaller so the Calc startup time is painfully slow. KSpread is very fast, but are its other features good enough for me to stick with it?
KDE Configuration DiscrepanciesSubmitted by chadm on Sun, 2007-03-04 22:32. Blogs | kde
I've taken to writing down usability issues as I find them and found myself wondering if others are annoyed by this one. When I open an app using kdesu it doesn't use my personal settings, it uses the root settings. While I can change those by executing "kdesu systemsettings" in the Run dialog, how many new users will know to do that? And if there are multiple users on a system, one set of settings gets applied to everyone with root access even though they may prefer different styles.

Unless you want the DL to translate into cleans it wont matter.

If your goals include Cleaning of any sort then DLing w/ the overhand grip is a wiser decision.
If not it wont matter insofar as development/strength goes. You can switch back and forth too if you like.
Using a double overhand grip will help improve your grip more than a mixed grip, but it is going to be the limiting factor for your deadlift. I use a double overhand grip until the weight gets too heavy, then switch to a mixed grip. That way you get the best of both worlds.
"Deadlift straps have a place in training...They can allow heavier back training if grip is the limiting factor, or they can cause grip to be a limiting factor,
by keeping it from getting strong if used too often with too light a weight."-Rippetoe, SS
Im no DL pro, but when I am doing them I am more worried about good form and working my target and stabilizer muscles than I am my grip strength. Your forearms will still gain strength etc. as well. For me, straps fill the void of chalk. I dont use them to "hang" the weight off of, I simply use them as a better texture to grip with sweaty hands lol.
That being said, chalk would seem an ideal option. But if your gym doesnt have/allow it, straps will often allow you to complete reps in the heavier weights that your grip simply will not support.

I've always used a mixed grip on deadlifts and my grip has not been a problem, ever.
What is a "mixed grip?"
A Rip Anecdote:
My favorite happens to be the tale on supplementary equipment. A man insisted on wearing straps for exercises he probably could have gotten away without having worn them. Rip, in classic Rip fashion, decided to start wearing straps to do all sorts of things, including opening doors and going to the bathroom (he would wear one on his "holding" hand, gotta have wrist support for that) until the guy stopped wearing straps completely.
"There are no shortcuts. The fact that a shortcut is important to you means that you are a pussy. Let me be clear here: if you'd rather take steroids than do your squats heavy and drink enough milk, then you are a ****ing Pussy. I have no time or patience for ****ing Pussies. Please tell everyone you know that I said this." Mark Rippetoe

Just re-read the Deadlift chapter in SS and found this:
"For those not intending to deadlift at a meet, straps may be a logical choice for the heavy sets, since one supine hand and one prone hand produces asymmetrical stress on the shoulders and can cause or aggravate bicep tendon problems on the supine side in some people."
I will say though, in rereading the chapter he does seem to have the mindset that they shouldnt be used until weight is an issue. "Grip strength is crucial to the deadlift."
That being said, it leads me to a question. Ive used them as Ive noticed I can lift a good amount more weight with them than without. Even after reading SS several times Ive never made the correlation to grip strength. All things considered though, the weight must travel the same distance etc, so is it safe to assume that part of the load from grip strength is transferred to the back-legs then...good, bad or otherwise? It must as the load doesnt change correct?
- Slave & Master At The Same Damn Time -Hoping To Compete Natty Early 2011
- Slave & Master At The Same Damn Time -Hoping To Compete Natty Early 2011
I alternate my over/under hands to avoid the problems he mentions.
Your last paragraph is correct.
It really depends what you're training for. If you want to have practical strength you have to be able to transfer your strength to something, which is usually done with your hands/grip. At the same time, you'll probably encounter few situations in life where grip strength is going to be the limiting factor.
But if you can train it, why not?
When I was deadlifting heavier, and had to get to a point where I mixed it up, I DID alternate the reversed hand..but, I also tried to always be moving the weight or amount of reps up where I had to actually switch to a mixed grip. I think at my best, it was double overhand 315x3 (without releasing), and I would go mixed up to singles of 365 and my best was 395 for one, once. So, I was always 50-70lbs between double overhand and mixed. But, I know I was mixing it up at 275 at one point. I just kept pushing it out. I have some seriously tiny hands and fingers, too, and don't use chalk.
5/3/1 Journal
Try using chalk when doing deadlifts. It really helps the grip. Then when you go for your 1 max rep you can use a mixed grip if you'd like. But the chalk should be enough to allow you to use a conventional grip. Chalk has added like 4 reps to my sets. My grips use to always give out before I became tired.
Stats: 11/15/07-First-meet--2nd Meet----3rd meet
Weight: 185-----187---------198---------198
Max Bench: 255---220-----------280------300
Max Squat: 405----395----------440------460
Max Dead:475-----485----------551------570
CHINUPS - Bodyweight + 135, x1, dead hang. Still working on the one arm chinup.
Good point. But if that's the case, do you think training your grip with a barbell is going to be transferable to when you're lifting a couch or any other "real life" test of strength?
(Serious question)
Just to weigh in real quick here, don't forget to throw in a set of heavy dumbell lunges on your leg day as that too will assist your grip, while helping you hit each leg individually.

May 6, 2016
RALEIGH (AP) -- The president of North Carolina's NAACP is calling for religious leaders to organize non-violent protests to bring attention to what he considers a Republican crusade against poor and minority residents.
William Barber urged leaders Monday to take action against the GOP supermajority in the state legislature, but he did not announce specific plans to demonstrate against a voter ID bill expected in the House on Wednesday.
The bill that would require voters to present photo identification at the polls is one of many Barber attacked as part of a wider agenda targeting poor and minority voters. He also criticized decisions against expanding Medicaid under federal health care reform, cutting unemployment benefits and ending the state's earned income tax credit.
He says the NAACP could push back with lawsuits.

Epilepsy: Taking Your Medicines Properly
You may be taking one or more medicines to prevent seizures. To get the most benefit from them, you need to consistently take the right dose of the right medicine at the right time. This can be difficult. But by following a few key tips, you can do it.
Key points
- Become informed about the medicines you are taking. Learn their names, their purpose, and their expected side effects. Know how often you are supposed to take them and what dose you are supposed to take.
- Make taking your medicine as simple as possible. Plan times to take your medicines when you are doing other regularly occurring activities, like eating a meal or getting ready for bed. This will make it easier for you to remember to take your medicines.
- Take a list of your medicines with you whenever you visit your doctor. Let your doctor know if you are having problems with your medicine schedule or if you have any changes in your health that might affect your medicine needs, such as a sudden increase in seizures, weight gain or loss, unexpected or intolerable side effects from the medicine, or another medical condition.
- It may take time and careful, controlled adjustments by you and your doctor to find the combination, schedule, and dosing of medicine to best manage your epilepsy. The goal is to prevent seizures while causing as few unwanted side effects as possible. After the most effective medicine program is determined, be sure you follow it exactly as prescribed.
Medicines do not cure epilepsy, but they can prevent seizures. The medicine used to treat epilepsy work in various ways to help reduce the abnormal electrical impulses in your brain. The specific medicines prescribed for you depend first on what kinds of seizures you have. Your age, activity level, overall physical condition, and other health issues as well as the side effects, health risks, and costs of different medicines, may also help determine what kind of medicine is best for you.
Remember, it can take some time and careful, controlled adjustments by your doctor to find the most effective combination, schedule, and dose of medicine to control your seizures. Preventing seizures with as few unwanted side effects as possible is the goal. It is important to follow your medicine schedule exactly as prescribed.
Test Your Knowledge
Antiepileptic medicines are most effective when you keep the proper medicine level in your body. Your doctor has set up a schedule of medicine dosages that keeps that proper level. Even slight changes in your medicine schedule or doses can throw the whole system off. If you do not take your medicines properly, you could begin (or continue) having seizures.
Taking your medicines properly can help you achieve better control over your epilepsy. If you have lost work or driving privileges, getting seizures under control—and keeping them under control—may help you get back to work or back behind the wheel. Not having seizures means you can avoid the dangers of seizures (falls, drowning, choking) and avoid stays in the hospital.
Test Your Knowledge
Even small changes in the times that I take my medicines can affect how they work.
This answer is correct.
Even slight changes to your medicine schedule or dosage can increase your risk for seizures. Consistently taking the proper dose of your medicine on time provides the most effective seizure control.
This answer is incorrect.
Even slight changes to your medicine schedule or dosage can increase your risk for seizures. Consistently taking the proper dose of your medicine on time provides the most effective seizure control.
Here's how you can get started taking your medicines properly.
Make a medicine plan
Work with your doctor to make a medicine plan. Things to think about include:
- Names of all medicines. Write down both the brand name and generic name for your medicines. Have your doctor check the list. You can use this list to verify that the medicines you get from the pharmacy are correct. Get a clear explanation of what the medicine does and why you are taking it.
- Medicine schedule. Be sure you understand how much of each medicine to take and when to take each one. Ask your doctor if your medicine schedule can be simpler. This may make it easier for you to remember to take your medicines as directed.
- How to handle missed doses. Even the most careful people miss a dose now and then. Talk with your doctor about what you should do if you miss a dose of your medicine. Discuss and write down what to do for each medicine. What you should do if you miss a dose may differ from one medicine to another.
- Medicine costs. If cost is a consideration in building a medicine plan, ask your doctor whether less expensive, equally effective generic brands would be appropriate for you. For most people who take prescription medicine, taking a generic form of that medicine is less expensive and works just as well as the brand name medicine. But in epilepsy, the very small differences between brand name and generic medicines may cause that medicine to no longer work in controlling your seizures.1 Talk with your doctor if you are worried that a generic version of your medicine will not work for you. You also may want to ask your doctor for a 90-day supply of your medicines if it costs less. Compare prices between several pharmacies. And consider mail-order pharmacies.
- Medicines to avoid. Some nonprescription medicines and drugs may react with your prescribed epilepsy medicines. Make a list of medicines to avoid. And check with your doctor before taking any medicines on this list.
Get organized
Taking medicines properly means taking the right dose of the right medicines at the right time. To be sure you are taking your medicines properly, you may want to have a system to keep track of when and how you take your pills.
- Make a list of all your medicines and keep it up to date. At every visit with your doctor, review your master list of medicines(What is a PDF document?).
- Plan a daily schedule of medicines. Post your medicine schedule in a prominent place near your medicine cabinet. Take it along when you travel. Record your medicine schedule in a daily planner that has spaces for hourly entries(What is a PDF document?).
- Use a pillbox. Get a pillbox that holds a week's worth of pills.
- Post reminders. Get sticky note pads and post reminders to take your medicines near clocks or on the bathroom mirror to keep you on schedule.
Taking your medicines
Keep the following in mind as you follow your medicine plan.
- Store medicines properly. Keeping medicines in a place that is too hot, too cold, or too humid (a place that is humid has a lot of water vapor in the air) may reduce their effectiveness. Find out from your doctor or pharmacist how to properly store your medicines. Always remember to store medicines out of the reach of children.
- Watch for side effects. Ask your doctor or pharmacist what side effects to expect. Be sure to tell your doctor if you are having side effects from your medicines.
- Post a list of medicines to avoid in a place where you can refer to it whenever you need to. Always check with your doctor before taking any additional medicines, prescription or nonprescription. This includes any herbal pills or dietary supplements.
- Take your medicine list with you for each visit with your doctor. And take time to review it.
- Notify your doctor immediately if you start having more seizures than usual. Let your doctor know if you have any changes in your health that might affect your medicine needs, such as weight gain, pregnancy, or another medical condition.
Test Your Knowledge
What tools can help me take my medicines properly?
A daily planner
All of these answers are correct.
A daily planner can be very helpful in taking your medicines properly. You can write your medicine schedule and doses in the planner and take it with you to work or school or when you travel. All of the answers are correct.
Sticky notes
All of these answers are correct.
You can post sticky notes on your refrigerator or bathroom mirror or near the clock to remind yourself to take your medicine. All of the answers are correct.
A master list of medicines
All of these answers are correct.
With a master list of medicines, you can keep track of all medicines you are taking, their proper doses, their possible side effects, and your schedule for taking them. All of the answers are correct.
All of the above
All of these answers are correct.
Daily planners, sticky notes, and a master list of medicines can all help you take your medicines properly.
I don't need to tell my doctor if I start having more seizures than usual while I'm on medicine. This is normal.
This answer is incorrect.
If you start having more seizures than normal, it may be a sign that your medicine needs to be adjusted or that you need more medical tests. Tell your doctor immediately.
This answer is correct.
You should definitely tell your doctor if you start having more seizures than normal while you are on medicine. Your medicine may need to be adjusted. Or you may need more medical tests.
Talk with your doctor
If you have questions about this information, take it with you when you visit your doctor. You may want to use a highlighter to mark areas or make notes in the margins of the pages where you have questions.
If you don't already have a medicine plan, schedule a time with your doctor to develop one.

Product Technologies / Benefits:
- AquaPiston: AquaPiston single flush canister technology uses the force of gravity and a precision-engineered tank, bowl, and trapway to create a strong, efficient siphon during flushing. The canister flush valve's 3:2 ratio optimizes flush performance and resists warping and deterioration, while its durable design features 90% less exposed seal material than a standard 3-inch flapper flush valve, guaranteeing leak-free performance. The light-touch canister requires lower activation force than a flapper, and once activated, allows water to flow into the bowl from all sides (360 degrees), increasing each flush's power and effectiveness.
- Comfort Height: Comfort Height toilets offer the greatest accessibility and ease of use with a bowl height of between 16-1/2" and 18", the same as a standard chair.
- WaterSense Certified Product: To help make a difference on a global scale and to further its role as an industry leader in eco-performance practices, Kohler has established partnerships with a number of environmental organizations, including WaterSense. Many Kohler faucets and toilets are equipped with low-flow technology - they use less water, while continuing to meet superior performance standards.

Thanks everyone for taking part in this month's lite challenge and sorry that there was a much shorter time than usual to complete the challenge.
Nevertheless there were some superb entries, so kudos all round! Sadly there were a number of drop-outs because of the short time limit and r/l commitments, but it was great that those folks took part and I hope that they will finish their entries as WIPs.
This month's challenge was to make a map using a silhouette (or part of it) and a limited number of colours.
Please vote for 1 entry
Don't forget to Rep the entries that you vote for and those which you think are deserving!
Hah, well, I didn't manage to get my entry done in time. I'll definitely finish it later. Still, there were a lot of amazing entries.
My vote went to LindaJeanne for 'The City of Trovesport, Jewel of the Crown'. A wonderful use of the colours provided.
Difficult to judge this one. Great job all of you!
wow, difficult vote...
In the end I decided to vote for Trovesport, which imho made the best use and (as far as i can tell) the most use of the colour palette provided which, after all, was what the challenge was mostly about.
congrats to everyone who completed the challenge

I voted for Travesport as well, a very beautiful map. I really like the way the colours were used.
But I also liked a lot of Wanenjo and the Corelian Sea, too bad we can't vote for more entries.
Nice challenge btw,
My Finished Maps | My Deviant Art
Current WIP - Arcantis, the lake city (dead )
Lite Challenge winners: Junjul's Treasure | Bargon's Harbor | The Amazonas
I really liked several of them (and REP'd accordingly), but in the end I was amazed by the Mountains, Forests, Land and Sea from Catchdrake Harbor - I didn't think that that color palette would support that level of realism, but dang if Seraphine_Harmonium didn't actually pull it off!
Some very stunning pieces created this month, with a limited palette, outline to follow, AND a time crunch. My hat's off to everyone who joined in.
My vote goes to Wanenjo - maybe it's just me but I think this a real work of art as well as an obvious effort in patience for all those fiddly contours!
All the other efforts are amazing too - inspiration to improve, thanks all!!

Comments On Oct 23, 2007:At the first wash it started to literally "come apart at the seams". That did not make me very happy but I just roll the seam back up and it works great. I do need to purchase again just to see if I got a bad one or if it is a design flaw. Overall it works great but the craftsmanship could use some work.

National Voter Registration Day (NVRD) 2015 is over, but we'll be smiling about the results for a long time to come! Here's what excited us most about National Voter Registration Day.
From the moment I stepped onto the bus headed to the People's Climate March chartered by the Sierra Club, I knew this was going to be an extraordinary day.
On Tuesday, September 23, the League of Women Voters of the City of New York hosted an event in honor of National Voter Registration Day (NVRD). This year we asked voters to tell us why they #JustSayYEStoVoting and we registered nearly 60 new voters!
Yesterday, on National Voter Registration Day, in New York City and at hundreds of events around the country, League members reminded Americans that every election is important and that voter registration deadlines are rapidly approaching.
Like the Florida League, Leagues across the country are seeking solutions to the issue of redistricting and gerrymandered Congressional districts.

V-Rock is a radio station based in Reddick, Florida in 1984 and later Vice City by 1986. It broadcasts to Vice City. The station is featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. It was originally hosted by Couzin Ed, until Lazlow took over in 1986, when Grand Theft Auto: Vice City takes place.
As its name implies, the station primarily plays rock, particularly 80s hair metal and glam metal, but also plays some heavy metal tracks. Station promos often included derogatory comparisons to other stations, mocking the kind of synthesizer-based music played by its competitors while insinuating that real men only listen to the rock music that V-Rock airs. The station's mascot is a vulture, as can be seen in the station's logo; V-Rock DJ Lazlow would often complain that the bird got more air time than he did.
The station was officially endorsed by rock artists of the time, including Jezz Torrent of Love Fist, who can regularly be heard in V-Rock's promos. The station also operated a studio at it's Vice City headquarters, which would often be used by Love Fist for their recording sessions. V-Rock also features call-ins from members of the public (similar to that of Lazlow's later station Chatterbox FM, although with far reduced prominence). The three callers featured in GTA Vice City are Couzin Ed, who wishes to vent his anger at Lazlow for "stealing" his job, Mitch Baker and a person who refers to himself as Snow-Dog. The phone line is also used in GTA Vice City Stories, although in this instance the only caller is a guy who hates Couzin Ed.
The V-Rock Hotel in Las Venturas, San Andreas takes its name from the radio station and features the V-Rock logo prominently on its sign.
GTA Vice CityThe original Vice City V-Rock playlist is as follows:
- Twisted Sister - "I Wanna Rock" (1984)
- Mötley Crüe - "Too Young to Fall in Love" (1983)
- Quiet Riot - "Cum On Feel the Noize" (1983)
- The Cult - "She Sells Sanctuary" (1985)
- Ozzy Osbourne - "Bark At The Moon" (1983)
- Love Fist - "Dangerous Bastard" (Unknown. 2002 in real world)
- Iron Maiden - "2 Minutes To Midnight" (1984)
- Loverboy - "Working for the Weekend" (1981)
- Alcatrazz - "God Bless Video" (1985)
- Tesla - "Cumin' Atcha Live" (1986)
- Autograph - "Turn Up The Radio" (1984)
- Megadeth - "Peace Sells" (1986)
- Anthrax - "Madhouse" (1985)
- Slayer - "Raining Blood" (1986)
- Judas Priest - "You've Got Another Thing Comin'" (1982)
- Love Fist - "Fist Fury" (Unknown. 2002 in real world)
- David Lee Roth - "Yankee Rose" (1986)
GTA Vice City Stories
The Vice City Stories V-Rock playlist is as follows:
- Dio - Holy Diver (1983)
- Queensrÿche - Queen of the Reich (1984)
- KISS - Lick It Up (1983)
- Dokken - Breaking the Chains (1983)
- Autograph - All I'm Gonna Take (1984)
- Accept - Balls to the Wall (1984)
- Scorpions - Rock You Like a Hurricane (1984)
- Krokus - Long Stick Goes Boom (1982)
- Ted Nugent - Stranglehold (1975)
- Ratt - Round and Round (1984)
- Judas Priest - Electric Eye (1982)
- Mötley Crüe - Looks That Kill (1984)
- Quiet Riot - Metal Health (Bang Your Head) (1983)
- A large portion of Couzin Ed's banter references the 1986 cult-documentary "Heavy Metal Parking Lot".
- In Vice City Stories, Couzin Ed says "turn up the radio, it's Autograph" right before playing All I'm Gonna Take. This is a reference to the song Turn Up The Radio by Autograph in GTA Vice City.
- One of the V-Rock stingers contains the first few seconds of the Dio song "Jesus, Mary & The Holy Ghost".
- Couzin Ed also says "Comin' atcha live! The bitch is back...", referencing to Cumin Atcha Live by Tesla in GTA Vice City, The Bitch Is Back by Elton John is also a popular classic rock song, although, not on the playlist.
- Also near the end of Queen of the Reich he says "Metal up your ass" which is a reference to the original name for the Metallica album Kill 'Em All, however no Metallica songs are played on V-Rock.
- Couzin Ed makes reference to the movie This Is Spinal Tap, saying "let's turn it up to 12", an obvious play on 11 being "one louder" than 10 on the guitar amplifier volume control in the film.
- Mötley Crüe, Quiet Riot, Autograph and Judas Priest appear in both games, while Love Fist is mentioned in Vice City Stories. Also Ozzy Osbourne and KISS's music appear on GTA San Andreas, on Radio X and K-DST, respectively.
- In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, since V-Rock is in Reddick and not in Vice City, the V-Rock HQ in Downtown Vice City doesn't have the V-Rock sign on the top of the building like it does in GTA Vice City.
- Lazlow quotes the famous Neil Young song My My Hey Hey...Into The Black during one of his segments by quoting the line "It's better to burn out than to fade away." This was also the final line in Kurt Cobain's suicide note when he committed suicide in 1994, and was used prominently by Tom Clancy's villain in the 1986 film Highlander.
- The V-Rock name may also be a reference to the Vrock from the game Dungeons & Dragons, a humanoid demon with the head, claws and wings of a giant vulture.
- The word "Rock" in the V-Rock logo, and the text on its billboards, are written in the same font as the logo for heavy metal band, Iron Maiden.

Colorado lawmakers are bracing for a long day of debate over Democratic gun bills that include expanding background checks on firearm purchases and new ammunition restrictions.
The Democratic-controlled House is scheduled to debate and take initial votes on the bills Friday. Lawmakers are being told to prepare to be there until early Saturday.
Democrats are proposing expanding background checks to include transfers between private sellers and online purchases. They also want large-capacity magazines to be limited to 15 rounds for firearms and eight rounds for shotguns.
The measures are responses to mass shootings in Aurora and Connecticut.
Other proposals would ban concealed firearms on college campuses and require that gun purchasers pay for their own background checks.
The Senate will consider the bills next, if they pass the House.

Pokémon X and Pokémon Y are the first two Pokémon games that are completely in a 3-dimensional style of gameplay on a handheld system. Each and everything has been changed since the release of previous Pokemon games. The sprites have been changed into 3D designed models from the characters to the Pokémon. The appearance of a Pokémon has also not been changed as seen in the trailer when the male protagonist was running through the grass and encountered a Pikachu.
Battle System Enhancement
The battle system in video games also went under a 3-dimensional style. As seen in the trailer of the video game there were different Pokémon battles introduced. The attack of a Pokémon will be shown in a 3D style against another Pokémon. It will even show how the Pokémon will move when it's being attacked or vice versa by the opponent.
Starter Pokémon
The trailer also shows off three new Pokémon which appear to be the Fire, Grass and Water starters.
- Chespin, a Grass-type Pokémon: a brown, Erinaceidae-looking Pokémon with a spiked green hat, small arms and a small tail.
- Fennekin, a Fire-type Pokémon: an orange, fox-looking Pokémon with flame-like fur emerging from its ears. Fennekin also shares its name and appearance with the Fennec Fox.
- Froakie, a Water-type Pokémon: a blue, frog-looking Pokémon with a white puffball on its back.
The two legendary Pokémon that are the mascots for Pokémon X and Pokémon Y have been officially named as: Xerneas and Yveltal. Xerneas is deer-like with rainbow antlers, who is shaped like the letter X when it's legs are apart, while Yveltal bird-like avian of some sort, who is shaped like the letter Y. Yveltal symbolizes quetzalcoatl, the serpent god of the Aztec people.
A new Eeveelution named Sylveon is confirmed. Mewtwo's Awakened Form has also been announced.

- Interestingly, the two monuments showed in the trailer are in Île-de-France.
- During the trailer of the video game, Pikachu was standing on the Eiffel Tower, and an Eiffel Tower-like structure is seen behind the male protagonist when he's rollerskating in a city, also, the female protagonist has been seen running from a bridge which is possibly modelled after the Palace of Versailles in France.
- The main city is Lumiose City.
- These are the first main Pokémon titles that uses single letters instead using colors or materials for the sub-title.
- These are the first two games to have their mascot's English name released before their Japanese names.
- In the Japanese logos, you can see a bit of DNA in the section: モンス. This could be a reference to how X and Y are the sex chromosomes.
- The X and Y are used because they are both an international letter for the world, since the game launches the same day all over the world.
- This Generation is bound to bring significant changes to the series:
- A bond mechanic revealed by Junichi Masuda in his blog on 1/21/2013. This may be the way to get Sylveon.
- 3D models for the characters and Pokémon.

- Trainer customization.
- These games are the first to introduce a new Pokémon form of an old Pokémon, Mewtwo.
- This is currently the only main series game where the player character can ride a Pokémon other than by Flying or by Surfing because you can ride Gogoat around the cities or towns.
- This will be the first region since Johto to introduce a new type of Pokémon, Fairy-Type.
- The new Fairy- type Pokémon are Sylveon, Marill, Jigglypuff, Gardevoir, and Flabébé.
- The new game will still have one save file like the other main series games.

The battle against ecstasy and methamphetamine has been stepped up. It's called "Project X."
Gov. Rod Blagojevich will launch the $2.5 million program in the next few weeks. The goal is to combat the use of these club drugs.
Nearly 15,000 ecstasy pills were submitted to Illinois crime labs last year. That's up from just 419 in 1998.

Seychelles will soon be connected to the rest of the world after the launch of Alcatel submarine fibre-optic cable project to be laid down the Ocean from Msasani Beach, Dar es Salaam, to Seychelles.
Speaking during the launch in Dar es Salaam on Saturday, Seychelles Minister for Natural Resources and Tourism Peter Sinon said the fibre-optic system project would help their country link to the world through Tanzania.
Sinon also said the superiority of optical fibres for information transmission was replacing the old technology. "Because we used to access communication via satellite, now we will have optical fibre, which will facilitate extraordinary growth in world-wide communications using broadband internet and other related services," he said.
He explained that optical fibre technology was very important for high speed communication. "The optical fibre with its low weight and high frequency characteristics and its imperiousness to interference from electromagnetic radiation has become the most viable communication system," he said.
For his part, Alcatel fibre-optic submarine official Steve Moore said possibilities for fibre optics were very flexible and durable and signals could not be easily distorted. "They also don't require much power and are efficient. Today, they are used mostly in telecommunications, such as in cable TV and internet," he explained.
Speaking on environmental impact, Seychelles Principal Secretary for Information Communication Technology (ICT) Benjamin Choppy said they had carried out a study on environmental and social impact assessment and found that there would be no any adverse effects on marine organisms including fish species and other aquatic ecosystems.
Choppy, who is also a Seychelles Cable Systems (SCS) chairman of the board of directors said after looking at possible landing points on the East African coast, the SCS board selected Dar es Salaam as the overall best location in terms of commercial and other possibilities.
"Both Tanzania and Seychelles are members of the Regional Tourism Organisation of Southern African (Retosa) and are in need of a quick and effective system that will speed up connection among tourists and other travellers between these friendly nations, while attracting more business stakeholders from each country through high-tech communication," he said.
Honorary Consul of the Republic of Seychelles in Tanzania, Maryvonne Pool said the fibre-optic cable would help their people communicate with other people globally to increase business and marketing of their products to people in need at the right time with low cost and on time.
"Seychelles was the only country on the African continent coast not linked to a submarine cable system. I hope that this process will add value to business opportunities because this is the very first fibre-optic submarine cable link for Seychelles and is very much a historic and development milestone for this Island," she said.
She noted that it was clear that the submarine optical cable system would quicken mobile phone roaming services, thus, making it easier and faster for people to interact and carry out their business and economic endeavours.
Tanzania and Seychelles have been in a forefront war against Somali piracy in the Indian Ocean to make this part of Africa a peaceful area and are in dire need of this fibre-optic cable, which will facilitate communication and fight against piracy.
Fibre-optic communication is a method of transmitting information from one place to another by sending pulses of light through an optical fibre. The light forms an electromagnetic carrier wave, which is modulated to transmit information.
First developed in the 1970s, a fibre-optic communication system has revolutionised the telecommunications industry and has played a major role in the advent of information age.
