How many credits do I need to graduate?
Most degree programs at Middlesex require 60 to 64 credit hours to earn the associate degree. Please be aware that you must select correct courses to fulfill specific requirements of the degree program in which you are enrolled.
What is a prerequisite and how do I know if a course has one?
A prerequisite is a course that you must have completed in order to enroll in the course you desire. In order to determine if a course has a prerequisite, refer to the college catalog. Typically the semester schedule will have an asterisk next to the number of a course to designate a prerequisite is required.
A social science course at Middlesex includes courses in: Anthropology, economics, history, political science, psychology, sociology, and social science. Humanities courses at the college include: communication (except Communication 101) , English, foreign language, and philosophy. Fine arts courses include: Art and music. Fine arts may be used to fulfill a Humanities elective in some curricula.
How many credits do I need to be a full time student?
In order to maintain full-time student status, a student must be enrolled in a minimum of 12 credit hours per semester. Please note, at the rate of 12 credit hours per semester it will take longer than four academic semesters to earn an associate's degree.
How do I find out who my advisor is and how are advisors assigned?
Advisors for new students are assigned by the Admissions Office based upon the intended major of the student. For those in a career-related program an advisor from the academic program will be assigned. Students in General Studies are assigned to a member of the larger faculty pool. Currently all non-degree students are assigned to the Director of Academic Support and Minority Student Services. Continuing students are assigned advisors by the Records Office.
What does matriculated mean?
A matriculated student is one who is officially enrolled in a degree program at the college (the phrase degree seeking is often used here interchangeably.)
What is a major/program of study?
A major or program of study is a specific curriculum or set of courses designed to meet career or academic goals. Faculty determine the appropriate courses to be required in a particular curriculum and make their decisions by determining what body of knowledge is required for a student to succeed in a particular career or transfer program.
[/wpspoiler] [wpspoiler name="How do I declare/change a major?" ]In order to declare a major, one must go to the Records Office where a staff member will complete the change of program form. New students will have their form filled out by the Admissions Office. If you are unsure of the area in which you would like to major, a counselor in the Career Development and Counseling Center, Snow Hall, room 406, may be able to provide some assistance.
Must I go to my assigned advisor?
Students are encouraged to meet with their assigned advisor, especially in career related majors. However, a student may meet with any full time faculty member. Please recognize that it is in the students' best interest to develop an on-going relationship with an advisor and not simply to obtain a signature on a registration form.
What may I take if I have not passed English 063 or at least placed into English 101 yet?
Most courses require the student to successfully write at the college level. However, courses in art, music, computers, science and math tend not to have this requirement. To determine if a course has English 063 or placement into English 101 as a prerequisite, refer to the college catalog or the current schedule. Typically a plus sign (+) denotes a class that has English 101 or any other course as a prerequisite.
What happens if I change my major and have accumulated credits in my prior program of study?
Quite often a student is able to utilize courses taken in a former major and apply them to a new program of study. The student and/or his/her advisor must ensure the category of the course taken (eg. English as a humanity) meets the appropriate criterion for the new program of study.
How should I best use the services of my academic advisor?
In order to fully utilize the services of your assigned academic advisor, it is recommended that you meet with him/her on a regular basis and discuss a number of issues. These topics should include but are not limited to your academic progress, career and degree goals, interest in transfer options, etc.
What materials should I bring when I meet with my academic advisor?
When meeting with your academic advisor it is recommended that you bring a copy of your transcript, college catalog, current course schedule, on-going graduation checklist, and catalog of the institution to which you wish to transfer (if appropriate.)
What do I do if I can't find my advisor?
All faculty advisors should have clearly identified office hours during which they are available to meet with students for a myriad of reasons. During Advising Week, faculty post additional hours during which they will be available for the specific purpose of advising. It is the college's hope that students and advisors will be able to establish mutually convenient times for advising through this week. However, if you are still unable to meet with your advisor, you may meet with any full-time faculty member.
Why do I need to see my advisor?
There are numerous reasons why a student should meet with his/her assigned advisor. Students are encouraged to meet with their assigned advisor, most specifically in career-related majors. For students who plan on transferring to a bachelor level college or university, it is crucial that you meet with your advisor. Middlesex Community College has agreements with many area schools on the acceptance of transfer credits. Your advisor will be able to assist you in selecting courses that should meet the requirements at the institution to which you plan to transfer. If an advisor is unsure about the selection of courses for transfer purposes, the student may be referred to the staff of the Career Development and Counseling Center for assistance. In addition, your advisor may work with you on scheduling issues. Often, advisors may also assist students with time management planning, provide insight on how to balance responsibilities of work, school, home, or refer you to other resources on campus. Please recognize that it is in the student's best interest to develop an on-going relationship with an advisor and not simply to obtain a signature on a registration form.
Do degree requirements sometimes change? Which requirements do I follow?
On occasion degree requirements will change in a program of study. Once a student has matriculated into a degree program (declared a major), he/she should follow the curriculum as outlined in the year you matriculated into the program. You also have the option of following any subsequent curricula.
What happens if I repeat a course?
A course may be repeated only twice with the receipt of a grade A-F (meaning it may be taken three times with the receipt of a grade A-F). After the third receipt of an A-F grade in a course, the student would need to request a waiver of the policy.
How do I withdraw from a course once the semester has started?
In order to add or drop a course, a student must go the Records Office and formally communicate this information to a staff member of the office. A new schedule will then be printed. Please note, if a student is on financial aid, that office must be informed of any added or dropped courses. The Business Office must also be notified of any added courses. If a course is dropped within the first 14 calendar days of the semester a partial reimbursement may occur.
What does an incomplete grade mean?
A student receives a grade of incomplete by an instructor if coursework is missing and the student agrees to complete the requirements. Although a student may request an Incomplete, the faculty member is not required to honor the request. A faculty member should assign an Incomplete when there are extenuating circumstances such as illness that prevent a student from completing the assigned work on time. If an Incomplete is assigned the faculty member will set forth in writing a description of the work to be completed, the date by which the work must be submitted (i.e. the end of the tenth week of the next standard semester) and a statement that the Incomplete will change to a specified letter grade if the work is not completed by the due date. If no make-up grade has been specified the Incomplete will convert to an "F".
What does academic probation/dismissal mean?
Students are placed on academic probation if they fail to maintain a specific grade point average after completion of a specific number of credit hours. (See the section on Academic Standing in the college catalog.) Students who have been on probation and have not achieved the required grade point average after completing their next 15 credits will be able to attend MxCC on a part-time basis only. A student who has attempted 30 or more credits and whose GPA falls below 1.5 will be dismissed for one academic year. Reinstatement as a student at MxCC must be approved by the Dean of Learning and Student Development.
What does matriculated mean?
A matriculated student is one who is officially enrolled in a degree program at the college (the phrase degree seeking is often used here interchangeably.)
What is an open/free elective?
An open/free elective means that a student may take any credit-bearing course to fill the slot.
How do I know what classes will transfer?
Most courses taken successfully at Middlesex (C- or better) will transfer to bachelor level colleges and universities, minimally as free electives. In order to ensure that the specific courses you select will meet degree/general education requirements at the transfer institution, we recommend that you identify institutions to which you hope to transfer early in your academic career at Middlesex. Always be certain to discuss your course selections with your academic advisor who will help you to determine whether your selections will transfer. In addition the staff of the Career development and Counseling Center is available to work with students on identifying what courses will transfer.
You may also look at our Transfer Planning page at http://www.mxcc.commnet.edu/Content/Transfer_Planning.asp to see how Middlesex courses transfer to state universities.
How many credits do I need to transfer?
A student may transfer at any point in time to a bachelor level university. The college or university you wish to attend will determine the number of credits hours needed to be designated as a transfer student. Many colleges will still require SAT scores if that number is not met. Please refer to the specific college or university you hope to attend to gather this information.
At what point do I not need to submit SAT scores to a college in order to transfer?
Most colleges will require a minimum of 24 credit hours toward a degree in order to waive the submission of SAT scores. Please recognize that number may be as high as 60 credit hours. Refer to the college catalog of the transfer institution to determine that answer.
What does a residency requirement mean?
Residency requirement refers to the minimum number of credit hours that must be completed at an institution. Typically, at a four year institution, this number will vary from 45 to 60 credit hours. Students wishing to earn a degree from MxCC must earn a minimum of 15 credit hours at MxCC in order to receive a degree from this institution. The phrase residency requirement does not mean you have to live at the institution.
What does rolling admission mean?
Rolling admissions means that there is no clear application deadline by which a student must apply to the college or university. There is also no date by which all decision (acceptance or non-acceptance) letters are sent to applicants. Students will be notified of the college's decision regarding their application when the application is complete. The college will also provide applicants with periodic updates as to the status of their application and any additional materials that need to be submitted.
Do bachelor level colleges and universities have application/financial aid deadlines?
Most bachelor level colleges have application and/or financial aid application dates. These dates may vary from February 1st forward for Fall admission and October 1st for spring semester admission. It is crucial that you clarify this information early in the transfer process. This information is generally available on a college/university web site, in admissions literature, the college catalog, or by contacting the admissions office.
How do I transfer my financial aid if I transfer mid year?
A student can not transfer financial aid but needs to apply for aid at the new school. If a student has already completed the FAFSA application then the school code needs to be added to the FAFSA so that the information can be received by the new college. The school code may be added via the web or by contacting the FAFSA processor.
If I am a full time student, how long will it take for me to earn my associate degree?
Most associate degree programs of study require 60-64 credit hours. If a student is full time, taking 15 credit hours toward a degree each semester, it takes approximately two academic years to complete. If a student is full time and taking 12 credit hours per semester, it will lengthen the time needed to complete degree requirements. Taking summer/intersession courses will accelerate the process.
What is a placement test?
The college requires all students to take a placement test to assess their current level of proficiency in English, math and reading. The placement test is not used to screen applicants for admission. The results of your placement test will allow your academic adviser to recommend the best courses for you. Please note, if a student has credit from another college for English and math and has forwarded the transcript, he or she does not have to take the placement test.
How many credit hours do I have to be enrolled in to qualify for financial aid?
In order to be eligible for most forms of financial aid, a student may need to take at least six (6) credit hours. However, some students may quality for aid with only 3 credit hours. Contact the Office of Financial Aid (860)343-5741 for additional information.
If I have already taken courses at another college or university, how do I get credit for them?
In order to earn credit taken for courses at another institution, you must have official copies of transcripts forwarded to the college's admissions office. A representative will evaluate those credits and determine their equivalency to Middlesex courses. If they are equivalent, credit will be awarded.
The staff of the Career Development and Counseling Center may assist students in identifying colleges and universities to which to transfer. The counselors may be able to provide information on transfer equivalencies, major programs of study, application deadline dates and similar types of information. Please stop by the office, Founders Hall, Room 121 or call 860-343-5826 to schedule an appointment. In addition, watch for "Transfer News" bulletins which advise transfer workshops and events.
I am unsure of what I want to major in here at Middlesex. Who on campus may I meet with to discuss how to select a major?
Your academic advisor may be well equipped to assist you in evaluating your interests, skills, and values as they pertain to selecting a major. However if your advisor is unsure or you would like additional assistance, please schedule an appointment with a counselor in the Career Development and Counseling Center, Founders Hall, Room 121 or call 860-343-5826 to arrange a time.
How do I know which courses are required for my degree?
Your academic advisor and you may both chart your progress and know the requirements for your program by following the graduation check list identified for your degree field.
How do I get my grades and unofficial transcript?
Currently grades are posted on the Banner on-line system. You may access your grades by going to the following website: www.online.commnet.edu If you are unsure of how to access your grades or other information (account status, etc.), instructional brochures may be obtained in the Records Office.

In addition to the forum here, we have a few other resources for hunting available from the CO homepage.
Look to the left side of your browser for the Hunting Info link:
Hunting Info link
Once you click on that link, you will see two more links become visible beneath the Hunting Info link:
GA Coast WMA hunting maps which includes the following PDF maps
These are the maps we have. Remember, these are large files and will take some time to download.
We also have ballistic information from Remington on the Ballistics Info link
Also, check out this post I made last year. It has a link to a free program you can download which will automatically download aerial photos of your select area. These aerial photos stay on your computer and give you lat/lon location as you move your cursor across the screen. The aerials are generally 1992 photos with 1 meter resolution being the best you can get free, but, they are very helpful to me in "scouting" out areas and directing a friend to a specific location.

September is all about the future in DC Comics. You get a ton of new comics that are based 5 years in the future and tie into the New 52 series Futures End. Along with all this one shot comics you can get them with some pretty awesome 3D covers. Nothing better than a reason to go to your local comic book store.
Detective Comics: Futures End #1 is written by Brian Buccellato and Francis Manapul. The art work is done by Scott Hepburn with cover art by Jason Fabok. This issue shows us a fun team up with two of the best detectives, Batman and The Riddler. They have to team up to stop Calendar Man from repeating the blackout of Year Zero that was originally caused by The Riddler. We all know Nigma isn't going to let anyone out shine him.
This was an extremely fun issue. It was fun to read and the art is gorgeous. My only issue was that I didn't see how it tied into the Futures End storyline. It tied into Detective Comics Annual #3, but not Futures End like it said it would. If you just push that out of your head while your reading you will enjoy this issue.
Check out the slide show to see a sneak peek of Detective Comics: Futures End #1 if you haven't read the issue yet. And don't forget to come back for more awesome reviews and sneak peeks.

Best Ways To Find A Local Professional
In this article, I am going to share with you a few easy ways to find a local professional be it a doctor, physician or mentor. These are just general tips to help you search for the type of professional you are looking for in your own area.
You enjoy loads of benefits by going with a local professional. For example, you can get in touch with them in a few minutes. Moreover, you can easily find out about local professionals by asking around. It is right that you may find it harder to find one in your area who is qualified, experienced and inexpensive. But with the following ways, you will be able to find one more easily. So, read on.
The easiest way to search for a local professional is through word of mouth. Good pros are popular for their services; so, you had better consult your friends, family, colleagues and neighbors. At least some of them may have had experience working with the type of pro you are looking for. Trustworthiness is one of the most important qualities of any professional.
Google is your friend. In fact, Google is one of the largest online search engines. Google database has information about almost anything under the sun. To look for a pro in your area, all you need to do is to type a term like Dentist along with the name of your area or city and then hit enter to see the results. The same method is applicable if you want to use Yahoo! Or Bing search engine.
Another easy way to find a pro is to consult local yellow pages. You may want to cast a look at the headings, such as Physicians" if you are in need of a good doctor for medical assistance. The same method is applicable no matter what type of pro you want to hire. Yellowpages.com allows you to make searches by Name, Phone Number or Address. So, it is pretty easy to find someone with Yellow pages.
Another good means to find a local pro is Yelp. The website was launched in 2004 and it allows you to read up on local businesses with just a few clicks. Yelp also offers reviews on local businesses and professionals. So, you can have an idea of the professionalism of the pros by reading the reviews given on the website. According to Yelp, the site offers more than 47 million reviews on local business.
If you need a medical doctor for check up, you may contact a local hospital for lists of licensed doctors. This way you can easily find out if the professional is qualified or not.
After you go the steps mentioned above, you can shortlist a couple of pros to choose from. Then you should further shortlist 2 candidates to pick from. Then you should decide on which one is better based on qualification, experience and service.
Finally, you may also take into account your feelings. Do you think that the doctor is best for you? Do you think you can get along with him? The doctor must listen to your concerns and questions and then give you convincing answers. Also, find out about their working hours. Are they available in their clinic or at a hospital? If you have a day job, you may want to look for a pro that can be accessible in the evening. Lastly, keep an eye on your budget when short-listing professionals.
So, these are a couple of ways for finding a local professional with ease. Use these for making your search easier.

Despite their name, black bears can actually appear in a variety of colors. There are brown black bears, white black bears, and even the blue glacier bear.
Expert estimates of the weights of the bears also seem to vary widely. Conservative measurements put the average weight of the animals is around 300 pounds. However, the degree of sexual dimorphism exhibited by the species makes accurate accounts difficult. The largest black bear recorded was a male shot in Wisconsin in 1885. The bear was 802 pounds, far heavier than would be expected.
They have a wide an varied diet. They can and will eat nearly anything. Typical of bears, they are fond of honey, and are responsible for thousands of dollars worth of damage to aphiaries each year.
The black bear has claws which are shorter and more curved than those of the grizzly bear. This allows it to have a great agility in climbing trees. Often, a sow will encourage her cubs to tree themselves while there is danger. Black bears have a characteristic way of climbing and descending trees. They mostly use their front claws for climbing and keeping a hold.

Enjoy this sassy and super healthy macaroni and cheese recipe from the Post Punk Kitchen of Miss Isa Chandra Moskowitz! Ready in 30 minutes!
1/2 lb macaroni or other small pasta
3/4 cups unroasted cashews, soaked in water for 2 hours
~If you forgot to soak the cashews, no worries. You can boil them for the same creamy effect, and still have this on the table in 30 minutes. Just submerge in boiling water for 15 minutes, drain, and proceed.
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 small yellow onion, diced medium
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups vegetable broth
1 1/2 tablespoons organic cornstarch
1 tablespoons nutritional yeast (optional)
1 roasted red peppers (jarred or homemade)
1 tablespoons tomato paste
1 1/2 teaspoons pizza seasoning (see note)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground mustard
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- Preheat a 2 quart sauce pot over medium heat. Saute onions in oil with a pinch of salt for 5 to 7 minutes, until onions are translucent. Add garlic and saute for 30 seconds or so, then transfer to a blender or food processor.
- Boil a large pot of salted water for cooking the pasta. Once boiling, cook pasta according to package directions.
- Drain the cashews and add them to the blender along with the vegetable broth, corn starch, nutritional yeast, red peppers, tomato paste, pizza seasoning, salt, mustard and turmeric. Blend until very smooth. Scrape down the sides every 30 seconds or so and test for smoothness.
- Transfer the sauce in the blender back to the sauce pot where you cooked the onions. Turn the heat up to medium and let cook, stirring very often, until thickened. This should take between 10 and 15 minutes. Taste for salt. It should taste slightly salty because you're going to be pouring it on the pasta.
- The pasta should be done while the sauce is thickening, so drain and place pasta back in the pot you cooked it in. Set aside.
When sauce is thickened, add it to the pasta in the pot, and use a large slotted spoon to mix well, taking care not to break the pasta. Serve!
~I always have a jar of roasted red peppers on hand, but making your own doesn't take much time or effort. If you've got the oven on to cook something else, anywhere between 350° and 425°F, simply sneak in a pepper or three on a small baking pan. Roast whole for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the pepper appears collapsed, then transfer to a paper bag immediately and close the bag up securely. This will steam it, so that when cool the skin comes off easily. Once you get the skin off, open the pepper up (if it hasn't already broken open) and discard the seeds. Voilà!
~If you don't have any pizza seasoning laying around, simply use these spices: 1/4 teaspoon fennel seed or ground fennel, 1/4 teaspoon oregano, 1/2 teaspoon thyme, 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic)
~You can make this a baked mac, if you prefer! Transfer the whole shebang to an 8×8 casserole and bake at 350 F for 20 minutes.

Jesus plainly said, "They hate Me without cause". Christians and Jews today are the two most hated and persecuted groups by far. Since Jesus was a Jewish rabbi and Christianity was given birth by the Jewish religion, it is no mystery why prejudice against both religions is standard operating procedure.
Christ was a threat to the Jewish Sanhedrin and their authority over the people. Roman despised the Jews and looked upon the Jews mainly as an annoyance. If the Jews or Christians became the least bit of trouble, the Romans would crush any resistance without mercy. Both the Jews and Christians for the most part just want to be left alone.
Not much has changed in 2000 years. The Jews are painted as a threat as the Christians. One thing for certain, it seems ludicrous that with all the influence the Jews are claimed to have worldwide, all the Jews have is a sliver of property carved out in a desert that nobody really wanted in 1948. To top that off, there is a huge effort to take what little land they have away from them.
Jesus told the Christians during His time that if they persecuted Me, they will persecute you. This prophesy has manifested in a vengeance as more Christians have been under persecution worldwide than any other time in history.
ISIS is purging Christians out of Northern Iraq and Syria while Boko Harem is extending its carnage of Christian targets in Northern Africa. Christian symbols are being attacked in both the public and private.
Israel was rewarded for vacating Gaza with missile attacks from Hamas. This harassment has been going on for years, but is only noticed when Israel retaliates. It is reminiscent of the terror attacks in Israel where buses, restaurants, and other public facilities were being razed with suicide bombers. Israel erected a security barrier to halt the carnage, but only Israel is chastised for putting up a wall. Israel is suppose to let the suicide bombers go unimpeded with their terrorism.
The animosity towards Christians has increased in America. Some of the most repeated diatribe against Christians is that a theocracy is sought by a Christians, a silly notion because the majority of Congress claim Christianity as their religion for decades. The vast majority of Christians have no interest in the political arena. Christians are allegedly wanting to "force religion" on everyone. Programming depicting a "Black Jesus" denigrates Christian values openly.
Christians are compelled to testify and share their faith and will probably do so, however the real fact is 93% of Christians never lead another person to Christ. It is rather hard to accept as true that 7% of Christians are causing all this stress. Even so, Jesus' proclaimed a great commission that orders believers to go to the highways, byways and compel people to come in. Those complaining are expecting Christians not to follow what Christ commanded them to do.
Jesus wisely declared to "render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." While false accusations continue to swirl regarding what Christians are trying to do, most are completely false except for the bad examples that are present which is true for all subject categories.
Jews don't really bother anyone. When was the last time anyone had a Jew come up and attempt to convert to Judaism? None would be a fair bet. One could not say that about Jehovah's Witnesses.
Jews typically react if they are threatened and historically it is consistently true. Christians have a much more checkered past regarding persecution of other religions but the majority of those persecutions took place during the Middle Ages and was directed against Jews and Muslims.http://www.heretication.info/_jews.html
Current day Christians are more interested in evangelism, foreign missions, and taking care of the needs of the destitute. The Catholic Church has an outstanding record in ministry work to the poor. Changing the civil law to position Catholicism or Christianity as dominant religious or philosophy is not being done.
The majority of the Bible was written by Jewish prophets or those with Jewish background. Jesus was raised a Jew and fulfilled the prophecies designated from the Old Testament for the Promised Messiah. The gospel of Matthew was specifically written by Matthew who was an ex- Jewish tax collector who appealed to a Jewish audience concerning all of the Jewish prophets' predictions coming true through Christ.
Much is shared through the Jewish and Christian traditions which include persecutions. There is a very shared spiritual destiny that awaits both religions.
The Torah and Bible disclose convincing scripture about the destiny of both Jews and Christians.

For years, Jennifer Hudson struggled with her weight. Then, just a few days after giving birth to her son in 2009, she vowed to try something different. Jennifer turned to Weight Watchers. And the result, as she revealed in a recent interview with Everyday Health, was life-changing. Find out what Jennifer says are the keys to losing 80 pounds below.
Jennifer chose Weight Watchers because she wanted a plan where she wouldn't feel deprived. "I'm a real girl — I love to eat and indulge in the things I love to have," she declared.
By learning how and when to indulge, Jennifer succeeded in achieving her goal. She's even documented the details in a book: "I Got This: How I Changed My Ways and Lost What Weighed Me Down" (click for details).
Jennifer advises avoiding diets that require you to restrict yourself too much. "Eventually you're going to break, and then overindulge." And she emphasizes that slow and steady wins the weight loss race.
"Take baby steps, and let it work for you. Think 'I can't run, but I can walk.'" By following the Weight Watchers plan, Jennifer learned "how to eat, how to measure my portions, and know what I was putting in my body."
For those who want to try the Weight Watchers way of dieting, the company has created a wide range of cookbooks, including "Weight Watchers 50th Anniversary Cookbook: 280 Delicious Recipes for Every Meal" and "Weight Watchers What to Cook Now: 300 Recipes for Every Kitchen." And for those who contend that they don't have enough time, there's also "Weight Watchers In 20 Minutes."
There's also help with the exercise element of the plan: "Weight Watchers: 15-Minute Boot Camp Series." It includes workouts for every area of the body as well as cardio.
In addition, Weight Watchers has a line of food products, such as Weight Watchers Chocolate Brownies and Weight Watchers Rich Milk Chocolate Covered Coconut Candy.

Has anyone taken Adderall to help you stay motivated and concentrate on important things after being diagnose with AD? I wondered if it's safe?

Why Adderall? I found getting my Addison's stabilized was the best way to stay motivated and concentrate on the important things. Of course it sounds like you have a lot of stress in your life right now. Stress will affect motivation and focus independent of Addison's.

Just wondering. I take Hydrocortisone 20mg a day and I feel no different than I did before I was diagnosed. I can not tolerate Flourinef at all. I have an appt with my endo this month to see if there is an alternative to Flourinef. I tried one of my friends Adderalls and I couldn't believe the difference it made. I felt human,
|View More Posts Ignore
Well, here's my personal story on this subject:
Before I was diagnosed with Addison's, actually before it was even a thought, I was having a horrible time with fatigue, staying awake to do normal activities like driving, reading for work, even eating I would fall asleep the fatigue was so severe. I would have to stop every 5-10 miles and get out of the car to wake myself up or I would literally fall asleep at the wheel. My life was a complete mess... I could not concentrate on anything, could not complete a sentence, etc... I had also just had a major spine surgery, been fired from a job through the mail, and my roommates told me they were moving out. Talk about some stress all at once!
One of my doctors prescribed Provigil, which is basically like legal speed. Of course the Provigil worked, however eventually I became life threateningly sicker in other areas because it was only treating that one symptom and not getting to the cause of the problem.
Yes, the Provigil did help and I did feel much better for a while, however in the long run I ended up feeling much worse because it did more damage to my adrenal glands. It was kind of like a huge "upper" and then eventually I had to crash and when I crashed - meaning my adrenals, they crashed big time and put me in the hospital.
So, in my personal opinion, medications like Adderall, Ritilan, and Provigil, etc... that act as stimulants, much like caffeine, and treat only the symptom of fatigue and fog by giving a temporary jolt, however after the jolt is gone, the toll they take on the adrenal glands is not worth it. The up and down roller coaster is what makes you feel horrible in the long run and much worse or is what makes you dependant on the medications to be able to get through your day.
Hydrocortisone is a steroid that is a compound closest what your body should naturally produce and what the goal is - to try and reproduce what our bodies would do on their own if they could. That's what I try to do when I take my steroids. I try to picture if my body was creating it's own stuff and take my steroids that way. I also try not to put anything in my body that alters it's natural state to overstress it because with Addison's our bodies have a hard enough time dealing with outside stressors.
Well, I've probably put too much of my own thoughts in, however I learned a huge lesson from my experience and just wanted to share. I hope this makes sense.

Thanks Cosby. I really appreciate your input.

No problem! I was also going to add that I have begun to supplement with different vitamins and supplements and it has helped tremendously! It doesn't always work as quickly, however if you stick with it, the outcome is great and the results are more permanent.
I'm big on reading to find out what's going on and I really learned a lot from a book called "Adrenal Fatigue" by J. Wilson... I read it before I was diagnosed and it is geared more toward those who just have fatigue and not failure as in Addison's, but it still is great to refer to for information on understanding what exactly is going on with this crazy disease and how to help turn things positive! :)
|View More Posts Ignore
I just read my post and I didn't mean to say "just fatigue" like that isn't a big problem or doesn't make you feel really badly... so if anyone out there has adrenal fatigue vs. adrenal failure please don't think that I view that as any less yucky feeling!
Whether they don't work or only work a little... they can wreck havoc when they want too! But luckily this board helps everyone share their wonderful ideas!

The economic situation in the United States is unstable to say the least at this time with soaring poverty among more Americans than ever right alongside the evolution of a new generation of billionaires derived from the internet craze. And so everyone has been waiting to see who the new chairman of the Federal Reserve is going to be and which direction this might take the country now. Janet Yellen has been confirmed as the first woman Federal Reserve chair, reported Forbes on Jan. 6, 2014.
67 year old Yellen was confirmed by the Senate as the new chairperson of the Federal Reserve on Monday afternoon. She is the first woman to head the U.S. Central bank in its 100 year history. Yellen made a comment which has given hope for many financially hurting Americans during the White House nomination, saying, "Too many Americans still can't find a job and worry how they'll pay their bills and provide for their families. The Federal Reserve can help if it does its job effectively."
Yellen will now be in charge of working for a full recovery for the economy of the United States, reports The Washington Post on Jan. 6. 2014. She will take over as head of the Federal Reserve on Feb. 1. Sen. Tim Johnson (D-S.D.) said on Monday about Yellen, "She has proven through her extensive and impressive record in public service and academia that she is most qualified to be the next chair."
This is an historic new start for the economy in the United States. As the first woman to head the federal reserve let's hope Yellen really is in touch with the fact that there are more well educated women, men and children struggling to survive in poverty in the United States than at anytime in American history since the Great Depression.
Let's also hope that along with her clearly keen intellectual capacity to deal with the financial challenges the country is being confronted with, she also has within her some type of motherly instinct for her fellow countrymen which drives her to give all she possibly can to pull the United States out of the financial mess it is presently in. Not just the future of Wall Street, but also people's lives really are on the line now.

When people enter their forties, they may begin to see changes in their skin which they didn't have before. Depending on a person's unprotected sun exposure, diet and lifestyle, and skin care regimen, these changes can vary from one person to the next.
"Even with women and men who have a strict skin care routine, they are bound to see some signs of premature aging," said a spokesperson for Skin Care Heaven, an e-commerce store and skin research center based in San Diego. "While this is normal, what it really means is that it's time to consider switching some of those products which target rejuvenation around the eyes, forehead, and around the mouth – the first areas to undergo skin aging."
Signs of premature facial skin aging include the following:
· Fine lines
· Dehydration
· Rough patches
· Age spots
· Slack skin
· Large pores
Here are the best tips to ward off future skin damage while helping to reverse current premature damage.
Sunscreen: The leading cause of premature skin aging is sun overexposure. Find a high quality sunscreen with at least a SPF 30. Like second nature, apply it every single day.
Exfoliate: After using a soap-free cleanser, be sure to exfoliate those dead skin cells to reveal more youthful skin. Products vary in terms of how often to exfoliate. This skin care process should be done a few times a week.
Retinol: This ingredient has been and continues to be clinically proven to reverse sun damage.
"Another great piece of advice is when finding an anti-aging skin care product, be sure it does more than just one thing," said the spokesperson. "For example, while a facial cleanser removes makeup, dirt, and oil, it may also have exfoliating and hydrating properties. Find the skin care product which offers the most optimum results."

Tomorrow, Jessie will have been at our house for two weeks. I feel she is doing very well and shows extremely good promise. Because, she will most likely go to another home eventually, I have chosen to be her foster grandma instead of mom.
The fear factor and being unsure of everything is gone. She is much less shy and timid, though occasionally still shows that side of her personality. She no longer fears the dog and she and Mr. Owen have become pretty good friends. When they both go out in the yard, she tries to get him to play with her. They both bark very loudly and run around the tree in the yard. He is older than she and certainly not as fit as she is so sometimes he gets less enthusiastic than her. Right now Jessie is Mr. Owen's fitness program. When he is too slow to come out the patio door, she gives him a gentle bite on the nose to let him know she won't take no for an answer and he is going to play.
She also engages in what I call, 'The running of the dogs'. This is almost as noisy as the 'running of the bulls,' but much less dangerous. We are surrounded by fenced yards with other dogs and when they get started they race back and forth along the fence, each on their own side of it.
The cats are still a wonderful curiosity to her and she sometimes chases them. Almost always when we say, "Jessie don't chase the cats" or "No cats, Jessie" she stops and looks longingly at them from afar. She has never tried to hurt them but, they are irresistible to her and she just can't help herself.
There have been no potty accidents pretty much all week. She does have me up between 5 and 5:30 am to go out. She will come and give me a couple licks if she believes I'm too slow and these old bones don't move fast enough for her. She really has me trained, but it works out. She goes to the door when she wants to go out, but sometimes it is just to play.
Still gobbling her food, but not quite as frenzied as at the beginning. She is starting to know when she gets fed and is lined up in the kitchen with all the other furry children. She loves treats and really enjoyed her frozen Kong stuffed with peanut butter. So did Mr. Owen.
We need more work on her chewing and being destructive with toys. The only thing she demolished other than Mr. Owen's toys was one outside chair pillow. It was really after less than a week here and she was in the yard alone longer than she should have been. This no longer seems a problem, but the toys still are.
I have attempted to get the concept of gentle across to her, but that is going to take more practice. I tried two ideas but so far neither one worked for her. Some of our past dogs loved to chew on empty plastic water of coke bottles. She was disinterested in that idea. I also tried 'bag ball' which is simply a lot of bags stuffed in another plastic one and tied in the shape of a ball. Other dogs enjoyed it but she was indifferent to it. She does like a very hard chew toy and so far cannot wreck it. Jessie needs sturdy toys that are just right for her size.
Jessie loves music and when I play some or sing to her she seems to relax. She also is not a critic, a good thing for any of you who have heard me sing. When there's music on and I'm jumping around, she puts her front legs up and likes to take a spin around the room.
Jessie already has formed an attachment and hopefully will find a forever home quickly so she can transition without too much trouble. She is sweet and loving, with lots of face licking and greets her foster grandpa with as much enthusiasm as does Mr. Owen. She has a habit of putting paws on you all the time and trying to jump up on you. That needs more work, she is just being friendly, but is surprisingly strong for a small dog.
Jessie has learned and mainly follows the commands or cues, but not mastered them. We worked on sit, down, stay and come. We have also not completely got the leash thing down pat.
She has much to learn, but once again in the short time she has been here she has become a better behaved dog and much less frightened. She is trusting and loving and will make someone a great pet, just keep working with her.
To keep up with Jessie's progress and follow all my articles here, please hit the subscribe button under my name and title. You will be notified of each new article published and you can choose to read or not read. Thank you.

The history of Canadian telecommunications hits you, the moment you walk through the door at Pearson Electrotechnology Centre, in Lachine.
The museum, a 200 square foot room, displays telephones introduced in the 1890's, to present day.
The first exhibit, the 317AH Wall Mounted Telephone, was introduced to Canada in 1907.
Customers claimed that fragments of their conversation were lost, while the wooden box, or wooden hand telephone, was being transferred from mouth to ear.
The 317A telephone had exposed terminals for connecting the telephone line and the receiver; these early models are easily recognized by their cathedral top, located at the top rear of the phone.
The wiring was routed via grooves in the rear of the backboard. However, by 1910 wiring was changed so that no terminals were exposed and wiring grooves, along with cathedral top were eliminated.
An additional receiver-transmitter overcame this problem. The crank in the centre of the panel generated power to call the operator.
The Magneto Switchboard - 150 Line Capacity switch board, used across Canada, circa 1920's, is a key display for the museum. It allows telephone lines to terminate in the telephone office.
When a subscriber turned the crank on their phone, it generated a 20 Hertz ringing voltage to actuate a signal on the switchboard. The operator would see the signal operate and she would take a back cord, plug into the jack associated with the actuated signal, and operate the front key towards the rear.
The museum is run by Ken Lyons and Bill Bartlett, Centre director, Richard Oliver, First director, Paula Pedrosa, and Neil MecPherson.
Ken Lyons began his career at Bell Telephone in 1962, at the Belmont building. He would go on to work at six different Montreal locations before retiring in 1999.
"I remember what employees, who worked in the 1930's, said about the industry, and it stuck with me." said Lyons.
Cartierville native, Bill Bartlett began his career at Northern Electric in 1948. An Industrial engineer in communications, his first job was repairing radio equipment in automobiles. These experiences lead Bartlet to work on the maintenance of rotary phones during the 1950's, in the 500 series.
Bartlett produced a 40 year career, working on the Solo desk project, upon his retirement, on January 15, 1988.
The Museum is open daily for tours, small or large groups, which lasts up to 90 minutes.
I am happy when I share my passion." a beaming Lyons, told The Suburban, preparing another tour to a group which entered the building.
The Pearson Electrotechnology Centre's Telecommunications Museum is located at the following address:
5000 Rene-Huguet Street

We saw monkeys on the highway to the Hacienda Guachipelin Hotel and Cattle Ranch! After arriving, there was a choice of tubing, horseback riding, white water rafting, bird watching, climbing, hiking, cattle drive, Tarzan wing and zip line. You will need their spa to relax and pamper yourself. The hotel benefits from its location near the active Rincon de la Vieja Volcano.
Hidden in the forest, their Simbiosis Volcano Mud Thermal Water Springs and Spa utilizes mud in the river flowing from the volcano. We see small pools of hot bubbling mud. I climbed into the large pit to see the holes leading down to the mud. The worker scrapes the mud and brings it up to use in their spa treatments.
Clients use the sauna first, then are brushed with mud for its mineral value and sit in the sun until it dries. Shower and decide to relax or climb into one of the soothing hot mineral water pools surrounded by nature.
There is a secluded tent for romantic couple's massages. After the massage, the path is closed with yellow tape so the couple will not be disturbed. They are free to sit outside watching the river or take a walk as Adam and Eve.
Spa Managers Jose and Fatima Reyes explains their Paradise Massage, "Each part of this massage is important, you can not miss a step. We combine several massage techniques into one unless the client requests another treatment.
It is thrilling to be so close to an active volcano! This is the largest of 5 volcanoes, the main crater still steams and you can see burnt vegetation on southeast slope. Trails lead to bubbling mud, boiling thermal water, geysers, and waterfalls. See monkeys, birds and other animals.
With all of this, the Hacienda Guachipelin Hotel and Cattle Ranch offers a total vacation! They have a great restaurant, pool, and allow the guests to join activities at the ranch. For information, call (506)-442-2818. The Hacienda is locatednear the town of Curubande, in Guanacaste, Costa Rica, Central America.

DB Keion Payne dismissed from football team
CORAL GABLES – Miami Hurricanes defensive back Keion Payne has been dismissed from the football team for violating team rules.
The announcement came from UM on the eve of the team's first scrimmage of spring.
Payne, a redshirt sophomore, was one of three players suspended for the first two practices of spring — also for violating team rules.
While right tackle Seantrel Henderson and linebacker Kelvin Cain are back in good standing, Payne's career is over.
The 5-foot-10, 175-poound former standout at St. Thomas Aquinas saw action in just two games – Bethune-Cookman and Duke – last season after redshirting in 2010.
He began this spring No. 2 on the depth chart at one cornerback spot.

International joy for WSEH stars
The two Windsor, Slough, Eton & Hounslow Athletic Club (WSEH) athletes competing for GB in the World Indoor Championships in Turkey returned home with medals in their suitcases.
Nicola Sanders grabbed gold as a member of the GB 4x400m relay team. Shana Cox led off for the GB quartet coming home a close third on the opening leg after which Sanders ran well to hold her position on the second leg.
Christine Ohuruogu moved the team into pole position on the next leg and Perri Shakes-Drayton held off the challenge of the USA athlete with a dip on the line to secure gold in 3minc 28.76secs.
Nigel Levine earned silver in the men's 4x400 relay. Conrad Williams led off for GB with a good second place, then Levine held his ground to put Michael Bingham in touch with the USA team. Richard Buck, on the final leg, also gave chase, but it was not to be as GB settled for silver.
Levine also contested the individual 400m, winning his heat, but went out in the semi-finals with a third place, the fastest of the non qualifiers for the finals.
* A large contingent of WSEH athletes contested the inter-counties cross country championships in Birmingham on Saturday, representing their county teams.
Best-placed proved to be Gus Cockle in the u15s boys where he finished an excellent 11th to take Surrey to silver medals in the team race.
The rest of the WSEH national cross-country team winners were also prominent.
Jivendra Singh was 27th and Jamie Finnigan 34th, both playing their part in the gold medals for Middlesex in the team race.
Josh Bowden (Surrey) 67th, George Gathercole (Surrey) 81st, and Will Brennan (Bucks) 258th were the other WSEH finishers.
Just two WSEH senior men faced the starter with Alex Tovey (Berks) coming home in 70th place and Simon Millett (Berks) 160th.
Alex Goodall (Bucks) had a good run in the u20s race for 38th place, with Zac Curran (Surrey) making a rare foray over the country in 116th place and Jonny Dry (Surrey) 157th.
Eion O'Brien (Middx) was the best of the WSEH squad in the u17s men's race with his 38th place. Kieran Wye (Bucks) was 58th, Charlie Critchley (Surrey) 85th and Ricky Harvie (Berks) 84th.
There was just one WSEH athlete in the u13s boys event, Tom Fitch crossing the line in 121st place.
It was a similar story in the senior women's event where Charlotte Firth (Berks) was the lone WSEH representative, taking 84th spot.
The numbers doubled in the u20s race where Maryse Haynes (Bucks) was a fine 22nd and Molly Riglin (Surrey) 65th.
There was a bigger WSEH number in the u17s women's race. Nicole Swaffield (Berks) was the first to appear in 58th place, with Kirsty Marshall (Berks) not far adrift in 76th, Mary-Alice Davison (Bucks) then followed in 110th place with Emma Croft (Bucks) in 127th and Christina Hall (Middx) 210th.
Becca Croft (Bucks) was the best of the WSEH athletes in the u15s girls race, with teammate Eloise Davison (Bucks) in 45th place. Sarah Chapman (Berks) was 53rd and Emily Reeves (Surrey) 157th.
Alex Barbour (Berks) fronted the WSEH runners in the u13s girls race with her 35th place which gained her a gold award as a member of the winning Berks team. Sophie Davies (Berks) finished in the 123rd position.

Profile Last Updated: January 23, 2009
For the owner of Tortilleria Maya, a table without tortillas is simply incomplete. As many Latin Americans, she leaves space in each meal for her 100 per cent corn crepe-like creations. According to Mayan legend, these very healthy discs were invented by a farmer wishing to satisfy his king's hunger. Whether the story is true or not, Southern Americans have been eating them for at least 12,000 years. The only difference is that they are no longer made by hand as before, but on large heated presses that can make up to 10,000 tortillas per hour.
For Little Ones… And Big Ones
The tortilla can be accompanied by a number of different things, such as meat, fish or vegetables, as well as light or spicy sauces, depending on how adventurous you are. While Tortilleria Maya distributes in large quantity to other stores, many people come here to buy tortillas they know will be fresh, made that day, and full of Mexican heat.
Bring Latin America to Your Kitchen!
Tortilleria Maya, while specializing in making tortillas, offers plenty other products made on location or directly imported from South America, such as tostadas, nachos, jalapenos, chipotle. Staff also make salsas and guacaomoles. You will find take-out dishes such as burritos, tacos and supreme nachos as well as refried beans. Hungry? Corn chips with natural jalapeno, chipotle, lemon or black bean flavour will satisfy your taste buds as well as your stomach.
Location: The restaurant is located in the Jean-Talon market.

2011 Chrysler Town & Country
The Town & Country Touring is available standard with the 3.8-liter V6 that is seen throughout the rest of the Dodge and Chrysler lineup. Our test vehicle was equipped with the optional 4.0-liter V6 with six-speed automatic transmission, which at least sounds like it's lighting the tires. Producing 251-horsepower and 259 lb-ft. of torque, it was quite stout for a minivan, especially one weighing in at a touch over 4,500 pounds. EPA estimates for fuel economy call for 17 mpg city and 25 mpg highway. The transverse mounted engine is situated between twin-MacPherson struts with gas-charged shocks with a stabilizer bar in an isolated suspension cradle.
The rear end of the T&C features a version of a twist beam suspension with coil springs, a track bar, stabilizer bar and gas-charged shocks. Order the towing package and you'll get a set of self-leveling shock absorbers to keep the deck flat. There's nothing sophisticated here, but there's something to be said about "tried and true" when it comes to a family hauler.

Because I wasted my morning writing about why I was upset, I no longer have time to write about the bathroom remodel. It needs a drawing to explain what happened, so it will be ready to go next week.
But, here is the basement of La Casa del Azúcar.
|after the ceiling and carpet were removed.
When I first toured this house, the basement had no electricity because of fairly severe water damage. There was a large hole in the ceiling--which was popcorn-covered acoustic tiles. Yep, double acoustic! The carpet was once fluffy and high-piled, but now flat and more colorful than initially created. It was big, though, for Sugar House standards.
|remember I said there was no electricity.
|nope. didn't vacuum for this photo shoot. And there is Bowie's room!
We put in canned lighting, ceiling, carpet, paint and added a new door under the stairs (another post for another day).
|My camera skills are seriously lacking.
Also, see that entertainment bookcase thingamabob? That was in the storage room in this house and used for tools. I planned on stripping and sanding it, but decided I liked all of its "charm" and history even better. Especially the little marks of spray paint.
Yes? yes.
The carpet was bought in 30 minutes. I was running out of time and I went to the final carpet store that had the best deals. This carpet was soft and on sale. CHACHING! It was a dark gray in the store, which is just what I wanted.
They installed it a week later and it looked perilously like blue. Grayish blue, mind you, but BLUE. Oh well. Learn not to buy flooring in a hurry. Bring it to wherever it will be installed and THEN make a decision. It's still pretty great.
Want to come watch a movie and snuggle with Bowie?

TC TO LADY STANLEY ; 9 March 1858; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18580309-TC-LST-01; CL 33: 187-188
Chelsea, 9 March, 1858—
Dear Lady Stanley,
You put me under great temptation; there is hardly any place in the world I would sooner go to! But the voice of staggering Virtue is still audible, "Thou shalt not!"1— In fact I have not been out on such a business, for 18 months;—nor am I permitted at all, till once free of these soul-confusing whirlpools of Prussian rubbish;—blessed date whh we hope may arrive now in a month or two, if the Heavens be kind!—
I forgot to demand the Lithograph2 at coming away: please bring it with you, the first time, hither;—and if you have any Prints left of his Lordship's Lady3 (such as there once were), I should beg one of these to accompany.
Yours ever truly / T. Carlyle 4

ABC Moves Kids Expo to Louisville for 2011, 2012
May 18, 2009-- Home Textiles Today,
All Baby & Child will move its ABC Kids Expo trade show to Louisville, Ky., in 2011 and 2012, officials announced earlier this month.
The show has an option to return to Louisville through 2015, officials said earlier this month at a press conference during the ABC Spring Educational Conference in Kentucky. The 2011 and 2012 events will be held at the Kentucky Exposition Center.
"Our board of directors is here in force and we look forward to having a long-term relationship with the city of Louisville," said Ken Goore, chairman of the ABC board.
The dates for the Louisville events are Sept. 23–26, 2011, and Oct. 14–17, 2012. The 2009 and 2010 editions will still be held in Las Vegas as originally scheduled, with this fall's event set for Sept. 13–16 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
"We are truly a possibility city and we truly are delivering on that moniker," said Jerry Abramson, Louisville mayor, during the press conference. "This is one of the most exciting trade show announcements we've had in this community, certainly in the 20 years I've been mayor."
According to Larry Schur, president and show director, Louisville, with its central location and "over-the-top hospitality," was a natural choice to be the next home to the ABC Kids Expo. "The Kentucky Exposition Center offers exactly what we need to provide a successful show," he said, also citing the relative affordability of hosting an event in Kentucky with lower labor, hotel and exhibition space costs.
Sister publication Tradeshow Week has named the ABC Kids Expo to its Fastest 50 lists for four years. The Louisville Convention & Visitors Bureau estimated the local revenue generation from the ABC Kids Expo at $12 million per year, making it the third-largest convention in the city.

Early Illinois oilfield map discovered in Alaska, finds home in Crawford County
ROBINSON - An early Illinois oilfield map has traveled to Alaska and made its way back home to a Crawford County museum.
John Larrabee, Crawford County oil producer and supporter of the Illinois Oil Field Museum in Oblong, was recently contacted about a 1938 Illinois Basin oil field map that had been found in Alaska.
Larrabee said Alaska oilmen Mike Ross and Mark Atkins contacted him about the map Atkins had found in January while going through some old stuff of his grandfather's. Atkins also found an old drill-bit company catalog from the 1930s or '40s.
Both Ross and Atkins live and work on a man-made island owned and built by ENI Petroleum on the Nikaitchuq oil field, on the North Slope of Alaska. Ross and Atkins thought the old map and catalog were interesting, and that they should be on display in a museum, so they contacted Larrabee to see if he wanted them for the Illinois Oil Field Museum. Larrabee, of course, said "yes."
But how the map got to Alaska is unclear. Atkins was told by his mother that her grandfather, Tom Eilet, was born in Chicago in 1857. At an early age Eilet was given to a farmer, as his family could not take care of him. According to the story, the farmer was a cruel person and Eilet ran away at the age of eight, and nothing is known of that time in his life.
At one point he was a sheriff or deputy in Newkirk, Okla., during the Cherokee land grants. In 1913 he moved to Orcutt, Calf., where he lived and worked in the oil fields.
From there the story gets a little unclear, but Atkins remembers a reference to Crossville, Ill., being made, which prompted them to contact Larrabee.
In the early 1900s oil boom camps sprang up in Illinois, Oklahoma, California and later Alaska, and it was not unusual for oilmen to travel the country like gypsies, moving from one boom field to the next. It is most likely that someone associated with Eilet or his family made their way to California or Alaska, during the big oil push following World War II, and brought the Illinois map with them.
Atkins also said that his grandfather did work in the Illinois oil fields at some time. And said he remembers Crossville being mentioned as one of the places his grandfather may have worked.
The map depicts known oil deposits of the period in the lower half of Illinois and Indiana. Larrabee noted that the Centralia oil deposit is not on the map as it was not discovered until later.
The map also notes oil production capacities at the 10 refineries. In 1938 the Ohio Oil Co. refinery Robinson, now Marathon, had a capacity of 10,000 barrels daily. The now-closed Indian Refining Co., Lawrenceville, long owned by Texaco, had a capacity of 16,000 barrels per day. The current Marathon refinery has a daily capacity of around 206,000 barrels, more than double the capacity of all refineries in Illinois in 1938.
"It feels good to know this stuff has found a good home," Ross said in an email.

Share Scotland have had some truly amazing volunteers over the years.
We take in volunteers through CSV, these are usually young people who come to Scotland to live and work with Share, sometimes from overseas and sometimes from the UK. They are trained up to the same level as our Support Workers and live with us for up to a year. We've had volunteers from places like Korea, Japan and Germany... even the exotic climes of Newcastle!
I spoke to some of them about their experiences, and will share what they had to say over a series of blog posts. First up, it's Aline...
"My name is Aline and I work as a volunteer at Share Scotland. I come from Germany where I had just finished school before I arrived here in Edinburgh. I decided to do volunteer work because I wanted to help people, and also to have new experiences in a foreign country such as learning the language, living independently, and making new friends."
How did you feel before you came to volunteer with Share?
"I was told about my project two months before it started, so I had enough time to prepare everything for my volunteer year. Finally it was October and it could begin... I was so curious of what would happen to me and of course, I was really nervous. Then I arrived at the airport where my supervisor picked me up and brought me to my flat."Read More
