Ross Audiology Services was a dream for many years. Finally, in June 2008, the dream was realized when I ventured into my own practice.
Ross Audiology Services was developed within the medical model of hearing health care - serving people of all ages, birth to 100 plus. Audiology is about more than hearing aids. The goal of this practice is always to provide a thorough evaluation of the ears, balance, and hearing systems. When appropriate, patients are referred for medical intervention. When medical intervention will not provide a benefit, my goal becomes educating patients about how the ear works, hearing loss, options in hearing aids, hearing conservation and the role of the ear in balance.
Once you understand all of your options, you and I will decide which choice best fits your needs, lifestyle, and budget.
Otoscopic Evaluation
Hearing Evaluation
Tinnitus Evaluation and Counseling
Evaluation and Treatment of Positional Vertigo
Hearing Aids
FM Systems
Assistive Listening Devices
Do I need a hearing evaluation? Why Wait? Hear Better Now!
Please, DO NOT be anxious or afraid of testing or of being pushed into making a decision you are not completely happy with. This is a "No-Pressure" office designed to be comfortable, friendly and confidential.
If you have any questions or would like additional information, please contact me at (570)344-9970.

Political tension in the homeland encouraged Basque migration to the United States, and to Boise, in the 19th century. Young, single Basque men immigrated in the thousands, finding work in Idaho as sheepherders and sheep men. The peak of Basque migration came in 1920 when Congress passed an anti-immigration act that meant to protect American jobs. But by then the Basque people were pretty well established in Boise and in the American north west. At the turn of the century successful Basque laborers began investing their earnings in ways that met their fellow countryman's needs in an unfamiliar place. Boarding homes and Inns are part of the history of the American West, and for nearly one hundred years the Basque operated well more than a dozen successful hotels in Boise.
By 1910, at least six Basque boarding houses were listed in the city directory.[1] [#1-8] There was an increase in migration again after WWI and II when the agricultural industry experienced labor shortages, again Basque's were coming to Idaho to work as sheepmen. By the 1940s there were 10-15 Basque boarding houses located in and around Boise. [#9-17]
#1 & 1a. Built in 1890-1895, the Aguirre House at 918 Idaho Street was owned and operated by Frank Aguirre and his wife for several decades. [google maps]
The Star Rooming House, at 512 West Idaho Street, was also built in 1895 and was open until 1973. It has since been preserved and renovated. [google maps]
#2. Between 1905 to 1912 Mateo and Adriana Arregui ran the Capitol Boardinghouse at 706 ½ Idaho Street. It was run together by two families for another fifty years. The building was demolished in 1965.[2] [google maps]
#3. In 1909 Juan Anduiza's City Lodging House was located on North 9th Street, and later in 1912 at 216 South 9th Street, where 42 'residents' were listed.[3] [google maps]
#4. In 1910 the historical Cyrus Jacobs house, one of Boise's earliest homes, was turned into a boarding house by Simόn and Josefa Galdos, who ran it until 1918 when it became the Uberuaga's. It was open for another fifty years, and the house stands a central element to the Basque Center downtown.[4] [google maps]
#5. In 1911 Juan Uberuaga ran Saracondi's Boarding House, located at 211 South Sixth Street. The Uberuaga family continued to run the house over the next decade. Today there is a tattoo shop on the ground floor and a residence above. [google maps]
#6. In 1912 there were 238 Basque 'residents' living at Barbero's, also known as the Modern Hotel, located at 613 1/2 West Idaho Street.[5] The Modern Hotel was later run by Benito and Asuncion Ysursa, and then by Tomas and Antonia Usursa from 1927 to 1940. The building was demolished in the 1970s and replaced with the current City Hall building.[6] [google maps]
#7. In 1912 there were 43 'residents' at the DeLamar Rooming House (the old CW Moore mansion) at 807 Grove Street. Antonio Letemendi managed the DeLamar for many years.[7] It operated from 1912 until it was demolished in the 1970s despite local attempts to save it. [google maps]
#8. In 1914 a new boarding house at 614 Grove Street was opened, it reportedly had an indoor jai alai court. [google maps]
#9. In 1939 Antonio and Leandra Letemendi, who had operated the DeLamar for years, moved to 521 Grove Street, where they operated Letemendi's, owned by Gus Urresti, who was at that time police captain.[8] The building was demolished in 1972. [google maps]
#10, 11 & 12. Jayo's was the name of a hotel that moved to several locations, the last was at 612 ½ Main Street, which became the Royal Hotel in the 1940s–it was demolished in 1970s. [google maps]
The Iberia Hotel, later known as the Overland Rooming House was between Front and Grove on 9th Street. [google maps]
Arego's was on Front across from the old train depot near 10th Street. [google maps]
13. The Valencia, on Idaho Street between 6th and Capitol, was owned by Benito Ysursa, the boarding house was on the main floor and the restaurant was located upstairs.[9] [google maps]
14 & 15. The Del Rio, located at 716 ½ Main Street, was run by the Sabala family until it was demolished in the 1950s when Falk's Department Store tore it down to expand their own building. [google maps]
The Sabala family moved the Del Rio to 910 Grove, and worked their rooming house until 1969 when the city demolished it along with the Blue Bird Rooms and several other hotels downtown. [google maps]
16 & 17. In the 1970s the DeLamar was one of last remaining rooming hotels, along with the Viscaya, at 1311 W. Jefferson Street, the 2-story home of Juan and Christina Uscola and their two children. 5 rooms were "kept ready" where guests would be welcome to stay for days or weeks.[10] [google maps]
And finally, in 1980 Nicasio Berstain left his job as operations manager for Garret Freightlines to open a boarding house and traditional Basque restaurant at 6th and Main Street in the old Statesman building.[11] It was not terribly long-lived but it is said to have revived the establishment of the familiar cuisine in Boise.[google maps]
Boise celebrates its rich Basque history, and recognizes that the Basque Center downtown represents only a small portion of the enormous historical contribution the Basques have in building Boise's commerce, culture, and community.

For this 22-year-old British singer, first impressions are everything.
Sam Smith, English singer of the hit "Stay With Me," released his first album on June 17, according to iTunes. The artist also broke a record by selling 166,000 copies of "In The Lonely Hour" in the U.S., which is a first for any UK debut album in the history of Nielsen. As far as UK charts, Smith has peaked at number one with "Money on My Mind," "Stay With Me," and "La La La" the collaboration with artist Naughty Boy.
The album itself is a 10 song album, with four extra tracks in the deluxe edition. Producers on the album include Steve Fitzmaurice, who has made albums with Kylie Minogue and U2, Fraser T Smith, who has worked on albums with Cee Lo Green and Ellie Goulding, and Eg White, who has worked on albums for Florence and The Machine and Adele.
The overarching theme of the album, according to an interview, is about Smith and a guy he once loved, who did not love him back.
The album begins with the track "Money on My Mind," which is about Smith's perspective on the music industry, and how his love of the art overshadows the money earned. The song is an upbeat start to an overall somber toned 45 minute album. The next track on the album is "Good Thing," which is about something going on between two people and their being together is not good for either of them. This song seems the most effortless out of the entire album, as if it just flows naturally out of Smith.
"Stay With Me" is the next track, the most popular single of Smith's. The song discusses an obvious emotional disconnect between two people, but the human want to be needed by someone overpowers that disconnect. The song features Smith's vocals layered in the background. The next track is "Leave Your Lover." The song is a plea made by Smith for someone to leave their lover, so that Smith can treat them better, and Smith wanting to be alone than rather face seeing the one he loves with someone else.
The next single of his, out Aug. 31, is "I'm Not The Only One." The song is about how one may say they love you, but not really mean it, and may not be the only one being loved or not getting to the core and realizing you may not be enough for the one you love. The next song "I've Told You Now" is about knowing there may be some sort of chemistry between two people, but it's not returned in the way one would like, and a frustration of unrequited love.
The very vocal and instrument heavy track "Like I Can" is another passionate track about unrequited love, and begs the question why is this person looking everywhere else for love, but not in the direction of Smith. The singer proclaims no one can love them like he can. "Life Support" is another one of those effortless vocal tracks, where Smith seems to envelope the listener and gets lost in his own vocals. This song seems the most raw about his apparent heartache, where he seems to wake up in darkness, and talks about the bed for two, and his cry for wanting that bed for two back.
"Not in That Way" is a very soft melodic song about his pain about the unrequited love being sung throughout the album. This track talks about the pain of being alone, never knowing how it feels on the other side of an unrequited love, and knowing how doomed a relationship is. The next track on the album is "Lay Me Down." This song has two recorded versions of it in existence, the first being an upbeat driven song, and the second being a piano driven melodic tune, with the latter being used in the final version of the album. This song is a plea to give love a try, and going crazy over someone, and just wanting to be with them. This song ends the standard album.
"Restart" is the song which begins the deluxe edition, and is a more uplifting vibe than the rest of the album, about being better alone, and wanting to start over without this unrequited love. "Latch" is the song with the British band Disclosure, and probably the poppiest of everything on the album, with some electronic vibes, although the album version is an acoustic recording of the track, a very harmonious mix of piano and strings.
"La La La" is the collaboration with Naughty Boy, and seems to have the biggest influence of R&B within the entire album, in this track. Smith's vocals really stand out with the beat in this song. The final song of the deluxe edition is "Make It To Me." The song is a very piano driven song, about Smith's want to have this stranger find his way to him, and complete him.
Smith's placement of the songs in the tracklist seems very specific and intentional, as each songs seems to take you through a different emotion, and you discover something new vocally with each lyric of his. The album overall is a vocal winner, although not much is explored in terms of melodies, which, while it is a negative of the album, it is also a positive thing, because it makes the album a story as a whole that Smith is telling, and each song is a chapter which is opened and closed.
With this being his first album, the album is an overall winner, and hopefully a Grammy contender within the next year, and now that Smith has made his first impressions on audiences everywhere, the stakes are raised even higher for the artist and his sophomore album.

[Washington, DC] -- Ambassador to the United States Prince Bandar bin Sultan today welcomed the remarks by Senator Richard Lugar (R-IN), Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, delivered at the Brookings Institution in Washington, DC on the topic of A New Partnership for the Greater Middle East: Combating Terrorism, Building Peace.
Prince Bandar bin Sultan commended Senator Lugar on both his vision and dedication. "The region is in need of reform, but as Senator Lugar recognizes, no lasting reform can be imposed from the outside. I have known Senator Lugar for more than twenty years and when he gets involved with an issue he is steadfast in his commitment. Saudi Arabia is also dedicated to promoting development and peace in the Middle East, and will continue to work with the international community to achieve these goals."
During his speech, Senator Lugar outlined a long-term strategy for international cooperation that would facilitate reform and development in the Arab world. Senator Lugar emphasized that the international community should engage with the Greater Middle East in a way that allows "the nations of the region to set their own priorities for the new millennium."

My vet suggested cranberry supplements for my border terrier. It did help as she was getting urinary tract infections on a regular basis and also had crystals in her urine. You can get cranberry supplements made especially for dogs. Try local health food stores on on the internet. I live in the Clearwater area and Natural Pet Food Store and Munchies sell the supplement if you live near them.

Being overweight often gives men and women a false sense of well being when it comes to their skin. "My skin doesn't have any wrinkles!" an overweight person might be tempted to say. It is a fact that many obese people have fewer lines and wrinkles than their healthier counterparts. That is not because their skin is healthier, however, but because adipose tissue or body fat is loose connective tissue.
Fat as a Filler
Overweight people don't have to buy injectable fillers -- they have a natural filler--the fatty adipose tissue of obesity. When fat replaces collagen as the new "filler," subcutaneous fat pushes wrinkles out as the skin is stretched over fat. When an overweight person loses weight, suddenly their face is full of wrinkles and folds as the fat disappears that was plumping the skin.
Obesity and Skin Conditions
Does this mean people who are overweight should not lose weight? On the contrary. All that weight is very likely leading to other skin problems. One of the most common issues is stretch marks from the stretching of the skin over the fat. Skin tag are asnother common issue related to weight.
Obesity and Skin Tags
Brown papules or soft hanging skin known as skin tags often appear on the necks of obese people as well as other places on the body where skin may rub against skin. Also known as acrochordons, cutaneous papilloma, and fibroepitheliomas, tags are generally found in skin creases and folds and are much more common on the overweight.
Obesity and Skin Darkening
Obesity often also causes changes in hormones. This can result in a condition knows as "acanthosis nigricans" which causes darkened, velvety areas of the neck and body folds. Skin folds are not only likely to produce skin darkening and skin tags, folds on obese people are likely to lead to skin breakdown.
Obesity and Skin Breakdown
The high amount of perspiration in an obese person also contributes to problems with the skin. If the the overlapping fat rolls of body folds hold moisture, that moist environment encourages the growth of bacteria and fungi. Moisture-associated skin damage is commonly diagnosed as interiginous dermatitis (intertrigo). This leads to skin rashes, potential breakdown of tissue, and a variety of skin infections.
Other Skin Problems of the Overweight
Too much weight causes increased strain on the leg veins which may lead to fluid retention, leg swelling, rupture of superficial capillaries (capillaritis), varicose veins, dermatitis, and even ulcers.
Skin Problem Warning Signs
Warning signs of a pending skin problem include: itching, burning, pain, odor and redness. Many of these skin problems can be prevented or cured with healthy diet, exercise and subsequent weight loss, and some skin care products can help soothe irritated skin.
Overweight skin may be plumped up so that wrinkles are filled by a layer of fat, but it is not healthy skin. Help your skin be the healthiest it can be by shedding the excess pounds through better diet and exercise.

9 When all the people saw him walking and praising God, 10 they recognized him as the same man who used to sit begging at the temple gate called Beautiful, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him."(Acts 3:9-10)
A miracle is a supernatural occurrence that is beyond natural ability. It is hard to explain how or why it happened. A person is healed and is able to have a healthy life. Another one receives wisdom and answers beyond their understanding. People are living miracles and have the breath of life in their bodies.
Miracles are from God. The Holy Bible tells of many miracles that were performed by God through His people. These are found from the creation to the end in Revelation. God parted the waters, fed thousands with bread from heaven, produced water from a rock, and gave life to the lifeless. Jesus, the Son of God, did many miracles and gave authority to His followers to do even greater works. He gave power through the Holy Spirit.
Miracles are for today. One of the greatest is for a person to receive faith in Christ Jesus and have their sins forgiven. Salvation is an awesome miracle. It is the miracle of eternal life and reconciliation to the only God who resides in heaven. A believer will live with Him forever and ever. This is cause to praise God and honor Him.
Challenge: Believers, expect God to move supernaturally over your life, you're loved ones, and your community. He will give many miracles especially salvation.

Rolling Stones lead singer Mick Jagger was apparently very busy when the Stones were in Stockholm for the second-to-last European concert of their "14 on Fire" tour. According to the Expressen newspaper in Sweden, Jagger visited the ABBA museum on June 30, 2014, apparently to get ideas for a possible Rolling Stones museum. After the Rolling Stones' concert at Tele2 Arena on July 1, the Stones had a party, where he met two unidentified women. Over the next two days, Jagger took each woman at different times back to his suite at the Grand Hotel, according to the Daily Mirror.
An unnamed source told the Daily Mirror: "It was typical Mick. He spotted the girls in a bar and quickly charmed them over a couple of drinks. By the end of the trip both had been back to his room. It doesn't take much imagination to guess what went on."
Jagger previously made headlines in early June 2014 for allegedly having a fling with 27-year-old American ballerina Melanie Hamrick, who was photographed hugging and kissing him on his hotel balcony when the Stones were in Zurich for a concert. Several media outlets reported that she spent the night with Jagger at the hotel.
Although Jagger got some criticism from the public for apparently dating women less than three months after the suicide of his longtime girlfriend L'Wren Scott, most people commenting on the Internet weren't too shocked (considering Jagger's playboy reputation) and said that Jagger has a right to grieve and start dating again on his own terms.
Scott was found hanged from a doorknob in her New York City apartment on March 17, 2014. She and Jagger had been a couple since 2001. After Scott's suicide, the Rolling Stones' "14 on Fire" concerts in Australia and New Zealand, which were originally scheduled for March and April 2014, were postponed and rescheduled to take place in October and November 2014.
As for Jagger's visit to the ABBA museum, former ABBA member Björn Ulvaeus told Expressen: "I heard he was on his way. I suspect something similar will be built for the Stones in London. That's why he wanted to have a look at our place."
ABBA museum curator Ingmarie Halling commented, "It was an inspirational visit. He said they [the Rolling Stones] have saved lots of clothes to exhibit. He was very cute and asked a thousand questions ... He was very curious and asked practical questions."
The Rolling Stones have been the subject of several art and memorabilia exhibits over the years. The most notable in recent years was a Rolling Stones 50th anniversary memorabilia exhibit at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013. There were also photo exhibits from the Rolling Stones book "50" that were held in London and New York City in 2012.

Green Berets being sent to Iraq under President Obama's direction was confirmed this week during a formal statement with the press. Obama declared that he plans to send roughly 300 of these elite US soldiers to foreign territory in the coming months. The Daily Mail reports this Thursday, June 19, 2014, that this mission is not meant for direct combat or martial warfare; rather, the Green Berets are said to be deployed in an effort to train and counsel allied Iraqi forces. This team of military advisors and army members are thus essentially being sent to help these Middle Eastern soldiers learn to better defend themselves and develop more effective strategy.
Although President Obama has firmly stated that he wishes to withdraw forces from Iraq and other foreign territories, it appears that more US soldiers will be deployed shortly to participate in an important military education mission. The Green Berets Obama story was confirmed when Obama announced approximately 300 advisers are going to Iraq to support the country. He made certain to stress, however, that this recent move was not in any way intended to "foreshadow" a combat intervention or threat.
With the ominous ISIL crisis still remaining a major threat over the Middle East's borders, President Obama made clear today his action to assist our ally nation through a supportive, but non-confrontational, approach. The US President said that sending any more troops to Iraq — including these 300 or so Green Berets — to openly fight in the war or launch an attack against Islamic extremists will not help our nation any longer.
"American forces will not be returning to combat in Iraq," stated President Obama today, "but we will help Iraqis as they take the fight to terrorists who threaten the Iraqi people, the region and American interests, as well."
At this time, contributes New Max in a morning report, it appears that the US president revealed government intelligence is currently in the process of identifying specific and particularly dangerous targets within the Islamic State of Iraq, including any affiliated terrorist groups in Syria. The unspoken threat should this occur was suggested to be an offensive air strike. Thus, should these explicit "targets" be found, American troops would take "precise military action if and when we determine that the situation on the ground requires it."
The 300 Green Berets and Obama announcement do not mark the only time US forces have been sent back to Iraq in recent weeks. Earlier this June, the president also took action, as he officially deployed over 250 marines to provide military assistance in protecting American officials at the American embassy located in Baghdad. Such a force is being joined by a number of US warships waiting in the Gulf Coast, including the USS George HW Bush and the recently deployed USS Mesa Verde.
President Obama blatantly stated to Congress members during a closed meeting yesterday that it was not necessary for him to consider their opinions or input at this point and time, given the military actions he was declaring. He concluded that he plans to convene with additional security advisers over the weekend in order to more closely communicate with security forces in Iraq.

G-M-O...three letters that either confuse the population or make them turn their brains off, because they're afraid of the truth that lies behind it. It stands for Genetically Modified Organism, the process in which scientists take the genes from one food source and combine it with another, to either make it more cost effective or to speed up the growth process. Our world doesn't have to be a place where the majority of people fill their grocery carts with preservative packed "food" and feed their children what is literally a science experiment. I don't know about you, but the idea just makes my stomach churn.
Some may say, "Okay so what? A little science never hurt anybody." However, the truth is, these GMOs are tremendously detrimental to one's health. A number of animal studies concluded, food that is genetically modified caused infertility, problems with one's immune system, organ changes, increased aging, changes to the gastrointestinal system and fake insulin regulation. If that isn't enough to make you think twice while at the grocery store, then I don't know what will.
Going organic will definitely keep the GMOs off of your plate. Make sure to especially stay away from corn, zucchini, squash, edamame, soy, canola and sugar beets, unless it has that green seal we've all come to know and love.
Stay tuned for 10 ways to be GMO Free!

Europe's Ban on Old-Style Bulbs Begins
By JAMES KANTER, published by The New York Times on August 31, 2009
Restrictions on the sale of incandescent bulbs begin going into effect across most of Europe on Tuesday in the continent's latest effort to get people to save energy and combat global warming. But even advocates concede the change is proving problematic.
Under the European Union rules, shops will no longer be allowed to buy or import most incandescent frosted glass bulbs starting Tuesday. Retailers can continue selling off their stock until they run out.

|European buckthorn
|Rhamnus cathartica L.
|Synonym(s): common buckthorn, European buckthorn
Common buckthorn is a deciduous shrub or small tree that can grow to 25 ft. (7.6 m) in height. The bark is dark gray and the inner bark is orange (easily seen when the tree is cut). Twigs are usually tipped with a sharp spine. The leaf arrangement is usually subopposite, but examples of opposite and/or alternate arrangements are commonly found. Leaves are dark green, oval, 1.5 to 3 in. (3.8-7.6 cm) long, slightly serrate with 3 to 4 pairs of curving veins and a somewhat folded tip. Flowering occurs in the spring, when yellow-green, 4-petaled flowers develop in clusters of 2 to 6 near the base of the petioles. Plants are dioecious (male and female flowers occur on separate plants). Fruits are small, black berries that are 0.25 in. (0.6 cm) in diameter. Common buckthorn invades forests, prairies and savannas in the Midwestern United States and can form dense thickets crowding out native shrubs and understory plants. Once established, it is difficult to remove. Common buckthorn is a native of Europe and was introduced into the United States as an ornamental shrub.

June 2, 2001
SEATTLE - Junior third baseman Michael Done won three of six postseason awards presented at today's Washington baseball banquet at the Don James Center. All six awards given out at the banquet were voted on by the players.
Done, a switch-hitter from Littleton, Colo., picked up the Dr. William Hutchinson MVP Award, the J. Wilson Gaw Top Hitter Award and the team's Golden Glove Award.
Done batted .342 with 15 doubles, a team-high seven home runs and 36 runs batted in during the 2001 season. He also scored 37 runs, second on the team, and stole six bases in nine attempts.
Senior Marc Rittenhouse, a second baseman from Bellevue, Wash., was honored with the team's Most Inspirational Award. Rittenhouse, who missed nearly half the season due to thumb surgery, hit .375 in his 28 starts.
Junior Shawn Kohn, a right-hander from Woodinville, Wash., was selected as the team's Top Pitcher Award winner. Kohn, who moved from the bullpen to become the Huskies' No. 1 starter midway through the season, finished the year with a 6-2 record and a 2.57 earned run average. He allowed only 60 hits in 80.2 innings while walking only 15 and striking out 65.
Freshmen Jeremiah Porter and John Otness shared honors for the Jerry Thornton Unsung Hero Award. Porter, an outfielder from Vancouver, Wash., played sparingly, but managed to recover from off-season back surgery to remain on the team. Otness, an infielder from Tacoma, Wash., played in Rittenhouse's absence during the middle of the season and batted .301 in 26 starts.
Rittenhouse and senior pitcher Jeff Carlsen, from Poulsbo, Wash., were also both honored as the team's captains for the 2001 season.

A veteran personal trainer with over twenty years experience, Kevin Kearns turned his attention to the mixed martial arts community when he was contracted to work with another Boston native, Kenny Florian, to improve his strength and conditioning for competition. In his Basement Tapes series, Kearns shares some of the workouts, techniques, and principles that he uses with many of his professional clients.
"Strength and Hypertrophy: Laying the Foundation" is the first DVD in the basement tape series. As the title suggests, the focus of the DVD is on developing a solid foundation of strength that is useful to the combat athlete. While marketed specifically towards the mixed martial artist, the material on here is generic enough to be useful for practitioners of any martial art.
What's Good
This is a very thorough DVD. Kevin shows a complete workout, beginning with a series of dynamic warm-ups that can be used as a prelude to any martial arts training session. He then goes into a short medicine ball circuit which he calls "the Core Killer". While part of the workout proper, the Core Killer can easily be a short workout on it's own, or a finisher on the end of another routine.
The Core Killer is followed by a series of exercises using a pair of four-pound sledgehammers; this circuit targets the shoulders, and is fantastic for martial artists who want to preserve their shoulders and wrists during training. Again, it could be it's own little routine, done as a warm up or cool down independently of the other exercises.
The next portion of the DVD is the workout itself, which consists of four exercises. It's a short routine, but it covers most major muscle groups.
Finally, there's a cool-down stretching routine. Kearns places a lot of emphasis on proper warm-ups and cool downs, pointing out that many martial artists are happy to train hard for hours, but aren't willing to take five minutes to preserve themselves afterwords.
Kearns provides detailed explanations of each exercise, along with demonstrations and a follow-along section, so that you can see what the workout looks like in real time.
There is a bonus sandbag circuit at the end of the DVD as well, that can work well as a substitute workout if you're bored of the baseline one.
What's Bad
The DVD does not use even the most basic advantages of DVD technology--watching it is essentially like watching a VHS tape. There is no menu, nor are there any chapters. You need to fast-forward or rewind the DVD to get to the information you want. Not a big deal on a first viewing, but if you want check up on something quickly, it's a pain in the neck.
The "follow along" parts of the DVD and the instructional parts are mixed together, which makes it hard to just follow along straight through, OR to just watch the instructional parts and not bother with the follow along.
What's Required
The workout on this DVD is fairly equipment intensive: ideally, you'd need a kettlebell, dumbbell, stability ball, medicine ball, and a pair of four-pound sledgehammers. And a sandbag if you want to try the bonus circuit. Some substitutions can be made, of course, but to do the routine as written, you'll need a fair amount of gear.
Overall, this DVD is a great resource for any martial artist, particularly those involved in combat sports. The routine presented is designed specifically for a martial audience, and helps to address both the physical needs and health concerns of the combat athlete. If you're looking for a new routine to spice up your workout, check out this DVD.

reflux after gallbladder removal
|Watch this
|View More Posts Ignore
I had my gallbladder removed 5 days ago due to it only functioning at 19% and having constant pain and nausea when I would eat. at first,my docs thought it was from my steroid use (I also have dermatomyositis). So we did a quick taper off my steroid and started me on nexium. All that did was make my DM symptoms worse and didnt really seem to help with the pain and nausea.
I was referred to a GI doc who ordered a stomach ct and abdominal ultrasound. The stomact CT was fine but the ultrasound showed some "sludge" in my gallbaldder so he referred me to a surgeon. In the meantime, I was in the ER for the pain and the doc there ordered a HIDA scan to check my gallbladder function. That came back at only 19% and so that combined with my symptoms made us think removing the gallbladde would help my problems.
I am also scheduled for a endocsopy but not until Dec. 1st.
The recovery from the gallbaldder removal has been much worse than I anticipated. Yesterday I started having a lot of reflux. I started back on my Protonix today. Will see if that helps. My GI doc had mentioned H. Pylori possibly being a culprit and plans to check for that when I have my scope. I called in mid October to make the appointment and Dec. 1 was the first opening. That has been very frustrating.
I am just starting to feel that I will never feel normal again and that maybe removing my gb wasnt the right thing to do. However, I will say that the pain I seemed to have where my GB was is gone but just to be replaced by new pain.
I'm very frightened at all the changes going in in my body. The myositis and now all this stomach/digestion pain.

angie1026, Obviously everyone reacts differently, it took me a couple of weeks after having my gallbladder removed to get over the pain, I was getting some acid reflux but that seems to have settled. It was coming on when I ate onions, tomatoes, chocolate and drank caffine. I have gone off these now. I had my operation about 6 months ago and the first few weeks I felt the same as you, should have I done it. I then thought is gone so there is not much I can do about it now. Hope you get better soon and keep us posted.

Hi angie I too am a GERD sufferer after gallbladder removal. You can ask me anything about it if you want. I would advise you to keep taking the Protonix. I had big trouble when I stopped my PPI after my gallbladder was removed. I had a massive acid reflux which led to oesophaghitis and severe chest pains. I went in hospital many times,vomiting,pain and hardly able to eat. It led to gastritis and a hiatus hernia. Im still suffering over two years later. I hope you can keep it in check. Now I get good days but it flares up if I have coffee,chocolate or fizzy drinks etc. The pain is so bad then. Im meant to be having a ph test for the acid next then maybe an op. I did have a stomach ulcer before the gallbladder removal and have the hiatus hernia. I wouldnt worry as you prob havent got the other things I have. Reflux is awful though. I hope your endoscopy doesn't show anything. The gallbladder causes lots of problems,you can't keep it with bad pain. We had no choice but to get rid.

Hi all. I had my gall bladder removed in 2008. Ever since then I've had horrible GI problems. One of them is GERD. I had a HIDA scan which showed some troubles with my gall bladder, so they removed it. I regret that decision.

Sophomores Kim Stubbe (Mol, Belgium) and Susan Mc Rann (Dublin, Ireland) earned singles wins for the No. 28 Arizona Women's Tennis team, but it was not enough to overcome No. 1 UCLA. The Bruins defeated the Wildcats, 5-2 on Saturday at the Los Angeles Tennis Center.
Stubbe posted a victory over No. 116 Skylar Morton in two sets and Mc Rann defeated Carling Seguso in three to lead Arizona.
Senior Natasha Marks (Nottingham, England) pushed UCLA's McCall Jones to three sets, but fell in a tight 6-4 decision in set three.
"The team did a really great job of battling today," Arizona head coach Vicky Maes said. "We challenged UCLA on every court and really had some good chances."
Despite winning the doubles point in eight of the last nine matches, all three doubles teams fell to the Bruins' highly-ranked teams.
"I was proud of how we competed, especially after losing the doubles point," Maes said. "This was a great effort and we finished the weekend on a high note. This will surely help us as we go into next weekend with Colorado and Utah."
The Wildcats will return home next weekend to take on Pac-12 newcomers Colorado on Friday, April 13 at 1:30 p.m. and No. 43 Utah on Saturday, April 14 at noon.

Speech in preemies
Mommy to Jackson my 28 weeker born 1/20/12
Comments (10)
my 35 weeker is still not saying any words and has limited babbling. he is now 16 months actual and 14 3 weeks adjusted. we have ei and speech therapy all involved. but my thing is that we can't force a baby to talk and i do all the things needed to encourage speech. so he will talk when he is ready
my 25 wkr has always been right on or ahead even for her adjusted age. She is however behind in gross motor skills but had a grade 4 brain bleed
My 25 weeker didn't say any words until 20 months/16.5 adjusted and then she took off.
Peter appeared to be behind in receptive language at 13 months adjusted (he evaluated at a 10 month level in receptive language; he only had a couple words, but he evaluated at 13 months for his expressive language). He had a language explosion around 15 months adjusted, though, and by 19 months adjusted / 21 months actual, he had "caught up" with his actual age.
Sounds like your LO is doing fine at this point.
Peter Thien arrived 07/2010 at 27w5d. Uterine septum resected 07/2011. Alina Kim arrived 03/2015 at 38w2d.
Need a baby book or NICU journal? Click here
Our PT said 18 words by 18mo (adj.) so I think your LO is doing just fine. We work on specific items like "dog." We repeat the word to our LO and point to the dog or a picture of a dog. That seems to help. Our LOs also love to play with balls, so we worked on that word a lot, and they definately know what a ball is and can go find it if you ask for it.
Handmade for baby -
My 35 weeker has pretty much talked from birth. Lol
Every kid is different but if you really are worried, a call to EI can never hurt. :)

November is Epilepsy Awareness Month! Wear your PURPLE! Yay! Ask me a question about Epilepsy!
Mine is a 34 weeker, and she's a little over 2 yrs now and just barely started saying more... she's got some complete sentences now but i'm not worried at all. i've talked to several moms lately and one said her daughter started talking some time after 2 yrs immediately after she was evaluated.... waste of time. my sister didn't talk until after 2 yrs. we take care of all Keira's needs without words so she has no need for them yet.

Health-Promoting Technology
Developed Over 30 Years of Pioneering Research
EMFs and Autism
What are EMFs?
EMFs are electro-magnetic fields that emanate from the electrical grid and appliances and from cell phones, Wi Fi, cell towers and high power lines. They pose serious health dangers, affecting both the nervous system and immune system, and are known to cause numerous disorders and diseases.
Are children being bombarded by EMFs?
Cell phones, laptops, wireless games or Wi Fi create a sea of electro-magnetic pollution in the home environment. All of these wireless devices send out a particularly hazardous type of EMF. These wireless EMFs (also known as microwave radiation) are dangerous for anyone's health. But children are especially vulnerable, because their nervous systems and brains are still developing.
Research on Autism and EMFs
An important study conducted in 2009 by Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt on autistic children and their mothers during pregnancy, shows significant results, strongly suggesting that
The incidence of autism in the US is currently 1 in 150 children, according to CDC reports, compared to ratio at the end of the 1970s, which was 1 in 10,000. This was before cell phones and other wireless technologies were introduced into the environment.
Tamara Mareia, founder of Internal Balance, Inc., is releasing findings from more than 5 years of research that point to cell phone radiation stress as one of the potentially major causes of the explosion of autistic cases in the last two decades. Read more on Autism and Cell Phone Radiation.
Other researchers, Tamara Mareira and George Carlo, conducted a study in 2007 in which they concluded:
"The findings suggest a significant role of EMR in both the etiology of autism and efficacy of therapeutic interventions." Read more on electromagnetic radiation and autism.

Evidently Muslims are the only politically protected group that trumps homosexuals
{ 1 comment… read it below or add one }

Islam is a totalitarian expansionist militaristic sadistic political system that wants to destroy the free world by introducing Sharia Law. "Islam is not a religion", and we must do everything possible to keep islam from taking control of our nations. There are many good Muslim people on this earth, but we cannot afford to gamble by importing Islam into our society.
The politicians who pander to the desires of Islam to secure more votes for their political parties, should be charged with treason.

Regardless of whether you use parametric or nonparametric procedures, the goal of inferential statis-tics (as opposed to descriptive statistics) is to reach a conclusion regarding the probability of an outcome being attributed to chance rather than to some hypothesized cause. Statistical significance is a central theme in this rationale. The excerpt from Thompson that follows discusses some of the most important aspects of that concept and its application. Too few researchers understand what statistical significance testing does and doesn't do, and consequently their results are misinterpreted. Even more commonly, researchers understand elements of statistical significance testing, but the concept is not integrated into their research. For example, the influence of sample size on statistical significance may be acknowledged by a researcher, but this insight is not conveyed when interpreting results in a study with several thousand subjects. This article will help you better understand the concept of significance testing. The ...

You can now get your hands on the latest offering from Stone Brewing Co. (Escondido, California) with this week's release of Stone Stochasticity Project Quadrotriticale, a Belgian-style Quadrupel brewed with triticale.
As you may know, the Stochasticity Project is a new series of beers from Stone Brewing that acts as a playground for their brewers to experiment with and learn more about beer styles and new ingredients. Stone Stochasticity Project Quadrotriticale fits this profile well with the use of a new specialty grain called triticale, a modern hybrid of rye and wheat grains. Although this beer may be a new offering in a new series, it still has a history at Stone Brewing Co. Several years ago, Brewmaster Mitch Steele developed a recipe for a Belgian-style Quadrupel brewed with triticale and it was actually considered as a possible brew for the Stone 10.10.10 Vertical Epic Ale release. Since the series of Stone Vertical Epic Ales had already seen two Belgian Quads, this one did not make the cut and the brewery decided to go in a different direction. It turns out that this recipe was just a little ahead of its time and it has now found a perfect home in the Stochasticity Project. For an idea of what to expect from Stone Stochasticity Project Quadrotriticale, here's a description from the brewery's press release:
Flaked triticale provides Stone Stochasticity Project Quadrotriticale with the subtly spicy character of rye and a smooth mouthfeel akin to wheat, which also helps offset the syrup-like body traditionally associated with quadrupel-style ales. The addition of dark Belgian candi sugar renders the beer deep amber in color while bringing forth prune, raisin and molasses flavors. The Belgian yeast strain Ardennes provides tropical fruit and banana characters while also incorporating very light pepper and clove notes.
Stone Stochasticity Project Quadrotriticale is available now in 22 oz. bottles and on draft at select accounts in Alabama and throughout Stone Brewing's distribution area nationwide. You can enjoy Stone Stochasticity Project Quadrotriticale fresh or you can cellar it to enjoy in the future. The folks at the brewery expect this beer to do well if aged for several months or a few years, and the beer will develop more prevalent raisin and brown sugar flavors over time.
If you happen to be looking for something a little more hop forward, Stone Brewing has you covered with the release of Stone Enjoy By 07.04.14 IPA. This homage to the beauty of fresh IPAs "showcases citrusy, fruity character brought on from 13 varieties of hops added at multiple stages during the brewing process. When combined and infused in massive quantities, the hops produce nuances of peaches and tropical fruit qualities that are evident in the aroma, while the taste is overwhelmingly hoppy." Since this batch recognizes Independence Day, it is available in all 41 states of Stone Brewing's distribution area. Stone Enjoy By 07.04.14 IPA has already found its way to Alabama, and you can expect it to disappear quickly.
For those of you keeping score, that makes two limited release beers from Stone Brewing Co. available now on local taps and shelves. These beers will not be hanging around for long, so grab some while you can. Prost!
