Bruce Fyfe honored as first Lightning Community Hero of the year
TAMPA BAY – The Tampa Bay Lightning honored Bruce Fyfe as the first Lightning Community Hero of the year this morning at the Homeless Emergency Project in Clearwater. Fyfe, who received a $50,000 donation from the Lightning Foundation and the Lightning Community Heroes program, will donate the money to the Homeless Emergency Project and Morton Plant Mease Hospital.
The presentation today marked the start of the second year of a pledge from Jeff Vinik and his wife, Penny, through the Lightning Foundation, to honor local community heroes and their representative charities. The Viniks have pledged $10 million through the program over a five-year period. Although there is currently a work stoppage in the National Hockey League, the Viniks have chosen to move forward with the hero program and the presentations, which will take place on scheduled Tampa Bay Lightning home game dates. Grants will be awarded in the community at the location of local charities until the hockey season begins.
"Penny and I feel strongly about the Lightning Community Heroes program and we look forward to continuing it during the year." Vinik said. "It's our goal to be committed to honor the heroic efforts of volunteers that give so much of their time to help others in the Tampa Bay area."
Fyfe has served as Board Chair of HEP since 1992 and has advocated on behalf of the shelter in Tampa Bay, ensuring they have a safe place to live, while also providing the resources to get back on their feet. His long record of volunteerism is deeply rooted in a sense of social responsibility.
For Mr. Fyfe, the loss of his son, Brendan, who died at the age of 24 from the effects of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder after serving three tours in Iraq, has made it his life's goal to help other veterans to not suffer a similar fate. Turning his grief into hope, Fyfe initiated a unique housing program called 'Campaign to Bring our Veterans All The Way Home', a $3.2 million low income housing project in Clearwater that is intended for the more than 15,000 projected homeless in Florida veterans during the coming years. His goal is to supply assistance to our brave returning soldiers who are psychologically and physically scarred by their experiences.
The Homeless Emergency Project in Clearwater is a charitable organization whose mission is to provide the homeless and very low-income individuals and families with housing, food, clothing and support services necessary to obtain self-sufficiency and improved quality of life.
Fans are encouraged to log on to www.tampabaylightning.com/heroes to receive additional details about the program, as well as to nominate deserving individuals who are making the Tampa Bay area a better place to live, work and play. The next cut-off date for nominations is Thursday, November 15. Once a nomination for a Lightning Community Hero has been submitted, the nominee will be asked to provide information about the 501 (c) (3) organizations to which he or she would like to designate the award, should he or she be selected.

The Sibling Narcissist
Many of us marry into relationships with narcissists, and others simply work with, become friends with, or date them. Those relationships are hard enough to leave. But what do you do when the narcissist in your life is a sibling?
Not only are you bound by family matters (parents, other siblings, life history), you're bound by guilt and a sense of obligation-after all, blood is thicker than water, right? Sometimes. But the fact is, no matter what the blood ties, or the relationship (marriage, coworker, friend, acquaintance, business contact etc) you don't owe the narcissist loyalty, let alone the frayed nerves, anger, tension and feelings you get when being around them.
The same rules for siblings, or sons, or daughters or parents who are narcissists, hold true as for non-related narcissists. YOU are more important than their need for narcissistic supply. Your boundaries are just as important and your need to protect yourself from their asinine antics are probably even more critical since you're almost forced by some situations to have contact with them.
Yes, it's okay to write them out of your life and ignore them for years, or even decades, if you can do that. Most of us can't. We're called on to interact at least at things like family funerals, parents needing to go into nursing homes, financial or legal matters or any variety of situations where you have to engage. If you're unfortunate enough to be young enough to be living at home with a narcissist sibling, there's no better time than the present to start learning how to deal with them. It will not only give you the discipline, insight and ability to deal with narcissists "at large", but it will help you strengthen your boundary setting skills while you're still young and strong!
The really hard part of having a narcissist sibling is that they know your buttons and can push them better than anyone else. They have an inside track on how you tick. That's why it's so important to learn how to shut-up around them and to not share things with them that will only become trigger fodder down the road.
What You Can Expect From A Narcissist Sibling (Or are already experiencing)
- Betrayal
- Bullying
- Scapegoating
- Emotional abuse
- Physical abuse
- Pathological lying
- Gaslighting
- Judgment
- Criticism
- Sadism
- Lack of empathy
- Coldness
- Aloofness
- Sexual abuse
Yes, we ALL want, wish and long for close family ties, family love and support, but we're not going to get it from a narcissist sibling or relative. They won't change so you have to in order to survive them. The rules are the same:
- Set boundaries and communicate them clearly, in writing, in an email if you can.
- Don't take the bait. When they punch your buttons and flip your triggers, bite your tongue and leave.
- Learn to just say "No," and walk away.
- Don't argue or discuss controversial things with them. Remember, they like to win at all costs.
- Keep your life as personal as possible. Lock up journals and diaries and password protect your computers.
- Do not introduce your friends to them. They're likely to charm them away and make you the bad guy. You'll not only lose your friends, they'll likely be convinced by your narcissist sibling that you're the crazy one.
The Golden Rule of Relationships is: "You can only change yourself." That means don't even think about trying to change your sibiling. They of course will try to change you. They'll violate your boundaries, anger you, betray you and drive you insane IF YOU LET THEM. So don't. Sound impossible? Yeah, we know. It feels that way too. However, there things you can do to make it easier, in addition to the tips listed above:
Learn to emotionally detach from your sibling. This may require a psychologist or counselor's help, but it will be worth the heartache it will save you down the road. Learn to separate out the narcissist's projections from yourself. Any failings or dark feelings they harbor in their own hearts will be projected onto you. By making you the problem instead of themselves, they can feel better about their dysfunction, if only for a short while. Don't let that happen.
If emotional distancing doesn't work for you, then you may have to entirely sever the relationship with the narcissistic brother and/or sister. This is harder when you're living with them, but not impossible. Once you're out of the house, consider severing the tie entirely. Seriously considering ending what was never a true relationship is not betrayal, it's survival. Narcissists are incapable of caring about anyone but themselves. They are cruel, cunning, ruthless, harsh, and you will never find them to be kind or understanding no matter how much they profess to be.
If forced into a legal situation, such as having to sell your parent's home, or deciding where to put mom or dad (hospital or nursing home), or encountering issues with a will or other situation, hire an attorney who has experience with narcissists (be careful, many attorneys are narcissists themselves and will side with your sibling!) and let them handle the situation while you make decisions from the privacy and safety of your own bubble. Forward all emails to your attorney and don't respond to the sibling except through your attorney. Trust me, the financial pain of this arrangement will be far less painful than the psychological pain of dealing with the narcissist directly.
Have no emotional expectations or keep them very low. Narcissists can be charming, smart and talented, but they're very emotionally limited. If you understand that you can interact with them without being disappointed. Narcissists only respond to you if they believe it's in their best interest, not yours.
Never make your self-worth dependent on them. The trap that all victims fall into with narcissists, whether related or not, is to try to please them in hopes of getting them to change, or to see your side. It won't work and they'll only consider you a greater source of supply and make life more miserable.
Never share any deep feelings, goals, dreams or vulnerabilities with them. They won't cherish them and will only use them against you.
If you must interact with them or ask them for something, show them how giving it to you will benefit them in some way. Reframe things so they become the center of attention and your needs disappear. Rather than saying, "I'd like to go to the movies," say, "You're such an excellent judge of movies. I'd love to hear your insights and take on this new movie." Ego stroking the narcissist is tedious and demeaning at best, but it's often worth doing to avoid a narcissistic rage, or in order to get what you want and can't get from them any other way. Stating your needs, getting angry and threats don't work. Stroking their ego will.

Hmmm, may i ask a very stupid question? :)
I have working with GCC C++ compiler and MS C++ compiler, and i
suppose that there are another compilers in the world...
But i don't known any other free compiler (yeah, MS compiler is not
free, but in russia all MS software IS free :D). So question is, if we
couldn't port GCC because it very big job (any other reason?), maybe
we could port some other compiler with liberal enough licence?
I'm asking because C++ is very popular language, it have some nice
benefits (is that word right here?), and there are many software that
was developed on it.
Of course C++ could be very ugly in some situations, but Object
Oriented model is very powerful and C++ is "standard" language for it.
So modern operation system with out C++ support is something...unusual
(i don't know right word in english, that describe what i want to say

New project, a big challenge
I'm really excited about my next project. It's always hard to maintain high levels of enthusiasm for a long project until the end. For a little over a year I spent about 80-90% of my time here at Kyan in 'Flash solitary confinement' working very hard on a second generation pension modeller. Not the first time I've been involved with a Flash pension modelling development. I am an expert.
So it may surprise you to read that the project I am eager to begin is a…,
Pension modeller!?!
That's right, a pension modeller. Not in Flash this time though, not even in a browser. On everyone favourite gadget – the iPhone.
It's been a quite a while since I was required to learned a whole new technology. Developing in Cocoa (the application development environment used to develop Mac and iPhone application) will be quite a change. New IDE, new framesworks, new APIs and even a new language which doesn't look like anything else. A challenge indeed.
I look forward blending experience gained in mobile programming and pension modelling with Kyan's creative tallent to produce a very unusual app. Maybe the first of it's kind?
I'll keep you updated on how I get on. This is should be fun.Tweet

For years I was part of the move-up movement. Each time I moved, my home got a little bigger, a little grander -- which felt, in that uniquely American way, like progress.
A growing young family and a usually promising housing market whisked those moves along the way like a strong ocean tide takes a soda can for miles.
And while I still love a big ol' gallivanting house on an acre or more, it just doesn't call to me as it used to -- especially now that the kids are off to college, and my full-time job means I'm home a lot less.
So lately -- while I'm between permanent homes, and serving as a foster parent to homes seeking permanent owners -- I've been thinking about what sort of place does call to me now. The best part about thinking is it's free.
Besides, I can't buy a new home until my big ol' gallivanting home on an acre in Colorado is sold, a plan for next year. That's called market protection. It protects me from myself.
Meanwhile, my housing fantasies know no bounds. City or country? Modern or vintage? House or townhome? No yard, big yard, room for a barn? Most days, I envision an intimate home, but not a broom closet. I want an easy keeper, with enough space for me to imprint my soul in three dimensions. I want a place where my growing-up girls, guests and the dog I plan to have can live in comfort and style. I want to be close to some city life, but not so close that I can't see the stars. I want gracious but not grand, lovely but not lavish, pretty not pretentious. And this for sure: I want to downsize.
As I mull all this, I'm taking notes and watching how those people who are a few giant steps ahead of me are doing just that.
Lori Brown, a talent acquisition executive in Chicago, is saying goodbye to her 4,000-square-foot home in a lovely suburb to move with her husband to something smaller, but in many ways better. This month the Browns -- she is 55, he is 70 -- will move from their single-family home of 12 years to a luxury condo in a high-rise.
"It's not easy to leave," says Brown. "We have a lot of great memories there, but it seems like it's time."
Leaving got a whole lot easier when they found their new place. The full-service lakefront condo is about 25 percent smaller, and it includes no yard duties.
"We're excited," says Brown. "Before, when I thought of people downsizing, I'd think they were compromising, but that's not it at all. We have so many new places to explore. There's nothing sad about it. We're making an upgrade."
The new place, which overlooks Lake Michigan, is a quick walk from restaurants, shops and public transportation. "That will make life easier. We'll walk more and get out more," Brown says.
Like the Browns, Lizanne Bomhard and her husband, who live outside Orlando, Fla., are also plotting a move to a smaller place where they can live larger. The Bomhards have downsized a few times since they married 20 years ago, mostly so they could be closer to family. Now, at ages 65 and 69, they are looking to move from their 1,600-square-foot cottage on five acres to "a new house closer to town and the grandkids, with sidewalks and neighbors," she writes in an email. Each time they downsized, she says, "we celebrated more freedom from taking care of unnecessary space and stuff."
Sounds like right-sizing to me.
Though everyone's criteria for the ideal home differs, depending on family, work and lifestyle, here's what the Browns factored into their equation: They definitely wanted an urban lifestyle, with an easy walk to the action. A big eating area was also a must. "When our family gets together for Sunday dinner, there are 14 of us," says Lori Brown. "On holidays there can be up to 22." She wanted enough room to gather, eat, watch football and have the grandkids sleep over.
Though Brown also wanted an outdoor space where she could put couches and a fire pit, "that's not what we bought," she says. However, the condo complex has a pool, which wasn't on their wish list, but their seven grandchildren, ages 4 to 18, are excited about that. "They will be here every weekend. Now watch our grocery bills soar," she jokes.
Net gains for the Browns:
Lower overhead. "We've been looking for ways to cut our overhead, and find better ways to spend our money and time, so we can do more traveling," she says. After the move, their house-related expenses will go down by half, she estimates. Property taxes alone will be one-fourth what they were for their former home.
One level. The house the Browns are leaving is three stories. The new condo is on one level. "We are getting older," she says. "This seemed like a good time to plan for that."
Less driving. For her work downtown, Brown spends close to $4,000 a year on parking. Now she can easily take public transportation.
More convenience. Because their current home is just outside the city, "once we're home, we're home; we don't go out. That will change," she says.
A view. Brown likes that her new place is on the third floor with lots of windows, so she can see the treetops as well as Lake Michigan.
"Yes," she says, "we're giving up being in a single-family home that we really love and put a lot into. But we're moving into a place where we will have a better life. It feels fun. It feels lighter."

You will learn the history of a margarita and some of Miguel's secrets in making this popular drink. I always suggest this class to friends who are visiting because it is a great way to build a memory of your time at Capella Ixtapa— especially when you get home and make your signature margaritas for friends!
This season Miguel has prepared several new fall cocktails, and he offered to share not one, but two of them with us! One is made with tequila, and the other with mezcal, a spirit made of maguey plant (a form of agave), which is gaining popularity in Mexico.
1 ½ oz. Tequila Centenario Reposado
½ oz. Chartreuse liqueur
½ oz. Controy (you can substitute it with triple sec, orange curaçao or Cointreau)
2 oz. Tuna fruit juice (this is the fruit of the cacti -see the photo above)
½ oz. Lemon juice
¾ oz. Agave nectar
2 Mint leaves
Pour all tequila, Chartreuse, Controy, tuna fruit juice, lemon juice and agave nectar in a pint glass, add ice and use a shaker to combine. Serve the content in a rocks glass, rimmed with granulated salt. Garnish with mint.
1 oz. Mezcal
1 oz. X-Rated Fusion Liqueur
1 oz. Grapefruit juice
15 g. Pomegranate seeds
1 Maraschino Cherry for garnish
½ tablespoon of Agave nectar
Marinade pomegranate seeds with mezcal. Add grapefruit juice and X-Rated Fusion Liqueur to a pint glass to combine. Serve in a champagne glass. Garnish with a maraschino cherry.
On your next visit to Capella Ixtapa, I invite you to try our new cocktails at the Terrace Bar, or join a margarita making class with our mixologist Miguel and create your own! A visit to the Terrace Bar and margarita making classes are available also to Ixtapa locals and visitors with prior reservation. For more information and reservation please contact us at 01.755.555.11.00, or send an email to the Capella Ixtapa Personal Assistants email@example.com.


text: I am trying to get thru the Trial of the Glade quest as a wood-elf and I have run up against a deck I cannot seem to get past. I am supposed to interview 6 characters and the third on has a deck with four, no cost, 2Influence cards and one, 3demand, 4influence card (flurry of arguments). This happens whichever char I try and interview...they all seem to have the same deck at that point. My problem is that no matter what deck I use I can never catch up or get ahead of them. I tried for over an hour last night and about 45 minutes the night before. Most of my cards give a demand (red) and sometimes a Yellow. The green cards are locked out of this parlay. As a wood elf I have predominately red cards but the mob never gives me any red. If I use my zero(0) influence cards to build up my demand then I get slammed with flurry of arguments. If someone has gotten past this (and I sure most of you have) could you please pass on some advice before I give up on diplomacy. I really like what I have seen so far and hate to just quit but if I can't get past this then I will have to. Thanks for any help. :confused:

Petrol: Handmade Accessories [Corporate Identity]
Petrol Handmade Accessories creates unique meaningful handcrafted jewelry and accessories from start to finish with care. Every piece is individually created by hand without using a machine, making every piece a true one-of-a-kind! Petrol has many unique designs and come out with new designs often, creating handstamped necklaces, bracelets, keychains, leather cuffs, earrings, and more. The perfect gift for everyone!
In the Handmade Arena, what sells your work is you! People who buy handmade are fundamentally interested in how you as a craftsman are able to magically transform everyday objects with your creativity, instinct, life experiences and hand skills into something that will enhance their lives on a practical, aesthetic, and emotional level. They want to get a glimpse of how you see the world, and they get that by buying your handcrafts. Essentially, what they want is to experience a little bit of the magic that is you!
Jewelry Branding is about associating your jewelry with emotions that are unquantifiable in monetary terms. It's about what customers think, feel, and tell their friends about your jewelry. The goal of the jewelry branding segment is to have you start thinking about what qualities make you a unique, talented, one of a kind jeweler and how this translates into the branding and presentation of your work to the public so that they recognize your work instantly as something they can't live without.
The corporate image had to be fresh and irreverent without losing the essence of the classic style with the usage calligraphic script lettering combined with the butterfly logo which refers to freedom and pureness. The branding process began with the logo design referring to the company name, complemented by a professional and script font "PF Champion Script Pro" designed by the award-winning Parachute Type Foundry. We developed a clean and minimal corporate identity in order to reflect the modern aesthetics. The corporate colours of the brand were chosen to be petrol and black implemented in all applications of the identity. The content of the whole pack and the basic applications that we recommended for the formal representation of Petrol consists of the following mentioned: corporate logo, business cards, corporate folder, letterhead, envelopes, stickers, packaging, bags and promotional material.

[patch] Noisier bugs in context processors

Description (last modified by jdunck)
I just spent an embarrassingly long time figuring out the cause of "'NoneType' object has no attribute 'has_key'" when rendering a template.
I had a buggy context processor which returned None under some conditions, which then made it onto the context stack.
It seems to me that Context.update could verify that it's getting an object that supports getitem since it counts on that (and give a helpful error if it's not the case), but I understand context needs to be high-performance, and generally update is called for context processors anyway.
Perhaps RequestContext.init could raise a TypeError.
Patch attached. Feel free to ignore if I'm the only one to be bitten by this. :-/

comment:3 Changed 9 years ago by ubernostrum
- Resolution set to invalid
- Status changed from new to closed
Unless I'm misunderstanding, this is invalid: a context processor *must* return a dictionary, even if it's empty, and the pattern for a processor which wants to return nothing is to return an empty dictionary (much as template nodes can render to an empty string if they don't want to output anything).
comment:4 Changed 9 years ago by jdunck
- Description modified (diff)
- Resolution invalid deleted
- Status changed from closed to reopened
Re-opening for clarification. I'm not fighting the invalid decision, if my point is understood, but ubernostrum suggested that maybe it wasn't.
I agree that a context processor *must* return a dictionary. What I'm trying to address, here, is that it isn't immediately obvious when a bug exists in a context processor which causes it not to return the expected type.
If a context processor returns an object which can't be used as a dictionary, an error does not occur until much later, and then that error 1) kills template rendering rather than using TEMPLATE_STRING_IF_INVALID, and 2) doesn't hint that a context processor may have caused the problem.
...And I'm using hasattr...'getitem' rather than isinstance(..., dict) because Context itself doesn't inherit from dict, and smashing contexts together currently works, so I didn't want the change to start insisting on a dictionary.
Finally, I'm not using "try...except" because Context.update doesn't throw an exception when handed something other than a dictionary-- it happily appends None to the stack of *expected* dictionaries to be checked upon context lookup, i.e. Context.getitem.
Feel free to close as invalid before, but I hope I've made my rationale clearer.

PHOENIX -- Lots of A's hitters took part in the offensive party Sunday, but Hideki Matsui's day was probably most needed. Matsui connected for his first homer as an Athletic -- and just his second hit of the spring -- as the A's pounded the Colorado Rockies 9-4 at Phoenix Municipal Stadium.
Matsui launched a third-inning solo blast off former A's closer Huston Street. The ball not only cleared the elevated wall in right-center but the trees behind the wall as well.
And Matsui, the A's new designated hitter, admitted it took a load off his shoulders. He entered the game hitting .048 (1 for 21). His only RBI before Sunday came on a bases-loaded walk in the A's second game Feb. 28.
"It's good to get it out of the way," Matsui said through interpreter Roger Kahlon. "I feel actually a little bit of relief."
Matsui also singled up the middle and walked twice and is batting .130.
First-year A's hitting coach Gerald Perry did not express concern when asked about Matsui on Sunday morning.
"It's timing," Perry said. "It's going to come with the more you have consistent at-bats. But I see his swing getting better every day in batting practice. And I know it will continue to come that way."
Center fielder Coco Crisp continued a scorching spring from the leadoff spot. He went 3 for 4, scored two runs and is batting .519 (14 for 27) in nine games.
Daric Barton, back after missing six games with a calf contusion, hit a mammoth two-run shot to right-center. Switch hitting shortstop Cliff Pennington hit a three-run homer from the left side.

customer reviews for large windows
"Pleasantly surprised"
By 1st time buyer from New Jersey
I love my new blinds! They blackout light well and also reduce draft from my windows. When I am able, I will most likely purchase more for other windows in my home. The installation is not as easy as I expected, however, or perhaps my measuring wasn't as accurate as it should have been. Two of the blinds were a very tight fit into my window frame and the adhesives came off during installation. Fortunately, the inner mounting device is quite strong and is adequate form holding the frame in place.View this product
"Pricey but worth it"
By DocMahogany from Brooklyn, NY
My windows swing open inwards so traditional blinds weren't an option as window always hit the blinds. These were ridiculously easy to install and fit my window pane like a glove. I have had the best sleep in months and I have been able to enjoy watching my movies during the daytime because the shades definitely block out the light.View this product

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease—Adolescent
(GERD—Adolescent; Chronic Heartburn—Adolescent; Reflux Esophagitis—Adolescent; Gastro-oesophageal Reflux Disease—Adolescent; GORD—Adolescent; Reflux—Adolescent)
Definition | Causes | Risk Factors | Symptoms | Diagnosis | Treatment | Prevention
See also:
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a disorder that results in food and stomach acid backing up into the esophagus from the stomach. GERD requires treatment to avoid complications, such as esophageal damage.
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease
The lower esophageal sphincter (LES) is a muscular ring between the esophagus and the stomach. It relaxes to let food pass into the stomach, then closes shut to prevent it from backing up. With GERD, the ring doesn't close as tightly as it normally should. This causes acid reflux, a burning sensation that can be felt below the breastbone.
The following factors contribute to GERD:
- Problems with the nerves that control the LES
- Problems with LES muscle tone
- Impaired peristalsis—muscular contractions that propel food toward the stomach
- Abnormal pressure on the LES
- Increased relaxation of the LES
- Increased pressure within the abdomen
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your teen's chance of GERD include:
GERD may cause:
- Chronic heartburn—most common symptom
- Regurgitation
- Abdominal or chest pain
- Vomiting
- Difficulty swallowing
- Dry cough
- Hoarseness
- Sore throat
- Recurrent aspiration pneumonia or worsening asthma
- Weight loss, lack of appetite
Your doctor will ask about your teen's symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Tests may include:
- 24-hour pH monitoring—a probe is placed in the esophagus to keep track of the acid in the lower esophagus
- Short trial of medications—success or failure of medication may help your doctor understand the cause
Imaging tests can assess LES function and surrounding structures. These may include:
Treatment options vary based on the severity of the GERD. Options may include one or more of the following:
Lifestyle Changes
This may be all that is needed to relieve GERD symptoms. In some cases, these may be recommended before medication is prescribed. These changes can be tailored to an individual person based on their habits. Lifestyle changes include:
- Eating smaller, more frequent meals.
- Avoiding overeating.
- Avoiding late night meals.
- Sleeping with the head of the bed elevated.
- Avoiding lying down within 2-3 hours after eating.
- Wearing looser clothing that doesn't bind the stomach area.
- Losing weight if needed.
- Quitting smoking.
Foods and drinks to avoid may include:
- Chocolate
- Fried foods
- Peppermint
- Spicy foods
- Caffeine products
- Carbonated drinks
- Foods high in fat and acid
- Alcohol
Medication may be needed to relieve symptoms and heal any damage to the esophagus. Many medications for GERD are available over-the-counter and by prescription. Your teen's doctor may recommend the following:
- Antacids
- H-2 blockers
- Proton pump inhibitors
In more severe cases, the doctor may recommend surgery or endoscopy.
The most common surgery is called fundoplication. During this procedure, the surgeon wraps part of the stomach around the LES. This makes the LES stronger and prevents stomach acid from backing up into the esophagus.
There are no current guidelines to prevent GERD.

on January 15, 2012 - 12:01 AM
For anyone who's ever been chided with "why can't you be more like your sister," the Aiken-Rhett House in Charleston, S.C., feels your pain.
The bright orange mansion at Elizabeth and Judith streets and its adoptive sibling about 1.5 miles south, the Nathaniel Russell House, are both operated as museums by the Historic Charleston Foundation. But the organization has taken a different approach to the preservation of each house.
The Russell House, which stands amid some of Charleston's most spectacular homes a few blocks from the southern tip of the city's peninsula, is an impeccable representation of what life would have been like for an elite family in the early part of the 19th century. The Aiken-Rhett House, on the other hand, has been intentionally left in a state that depicts the way it has changed and evolved over the past two centuries.
On a recent weekend trip to Charleston, my husband and I toured each, only partly because I couldn't resist the discounted ticket for visiting both.
We started with the Russell House, a Federal townhome that looked particularly fetching in the slanting late afternoon sunlight. Rhode Island transplant Nathaniel Russell, a wealthy merchant, completed the opulent residence in 1808.
At various points, the house was the home of one of Russell's granddaughters and her 12 children, a girls' academy and a school and motherhouse for an order of nuns. It also survived a tornado in 1811, the bombardment of the city during the Civil War, a devastating 1886 earthquake and Hurricane Hugo in 1989. Not that you'd guess it by looking around.
The foundation went to great lengths to restore the house to its original appearance, according to Winslow Hastie, the group's director of preservation and museums. Just before the house opened to the public in the 1950s, its show-stopper, a free-standing spiral staircase, got a bit of reinforcement. A little square was cut away from the underside of it to let people see the underlying structure.
And preservationists took a page from "CSI," matching up tiny paint and wallpaper samples and having them reproduced to stunning results, such as the shockingly turquoise oval dining room. In the second-floor drawing room, the elaborate cornices around the ceiling needed some TLC. There was also faux wood graining to re-create, as well as reapplying the finish that makes the plinths that form the base of the columns around the windows and fireplace look like lapis lazuli.
To some, that level of restoration makes the decision to preserve the Aiken-Rhett House as is -- warts and all -- baffling. "There are people who come to the property and don't get it," Hastie told me later in a telephone interview. They think that the less-than-pristine state of things represents neglect, when in fact there's a huge amount of effort put into, say, making sure that the faded original wallpaper doesn't come off the walls. The idea is to preserve everything in the house without restoring it, to respect the "incredible layering of time and character," Hastie explained.
The 1820 home came into the hands of the family it was named after in 1827. William Aiken Jr., a South Carolina governor and U.S. congressman, and his wife, Harriet, renovated it in the 1830s and 1850s, transforming it into one of Charleston's grandest residences. Their descendants lived there into the 1970s.
Unlike the Russell House, which is filled with period items that the museum has collected to approximate what the original owners might have had, the Aiken-Rhett House is decorated with actual family possessions.
I liked its lived-in feeling. I could feel the weight of the years around me as much as the boards that squeaked under my feet. As we explored the house with an audio guide, I noticed what Hastie said people in the preservation business call "the ghost marks of things." In one bedroom, a shadow on the ceiling defines where a ring of bed draperies had been secured. In the ballroom, a round upholstered seat had frayed with time, its stuffing popping out in places. How many people had sat there?
"It is kind of haunting in a way," Hastie said.
Bring on the friendly ghosts.

Developers have submitted a planning application to build homes on land opposite The Elms.
The plans, which include affordable housing, new public footpaths and cycleways, are said to be in keeping with the Thame neighbourhood plan.
But campaigners claim that the scheme would destroy a much loved part of town.
A spokesman for Barton Wilmore, which is working for Rectory Homes as planning consultants, said: "We have worked closely with Thame Town Council and South Oxfordshire District Council to create a scheme that will be of the highest quality and sensitive to its surroundings.
"It includes a total of 18 affordable homes and will open a brand new park for lo cal people to enjoy on land that has never before been accessible to the public.
"In addition, a further planning application has been submitted for a series of improvements to Elms Park, which will be funded through the development of The Elms."
Thame Town Council will launch a consulation process to find out what local people think of the controversial scheme.

Ever since we heard about Ron Moore's Syfy series set in a lab in the arctic, Helix, we've all been dying to get more info. We have the synopsis – there's an outbreak in the lab, and it will have global impact – and have seen the lovely, stylized teasers, but we needed more.
We got a big boost last week when Syfy invited the press to the set of the show. I'm telling you right now, it is exceptional. Here for your perusal is a first good long look at the labs and quarters of the mysterious Arctic Biosystems, followed by a fact sheet about the series.
Uh oh, that looks like – A VENT. If we took away nothing else from the tour, it was that THE VENTS are very important. VERY. IMPORTANT.
The tour was lead by director Brad Turner and Helix creator Cameron Porsandeh. The decontamination chamber – with the red lights and fog – was very cool, but I couldn't help but notice that the floor in the next room had a real DHARMA feel to it. But that's probably just me.
Next is a shot of creator Cameron Porsandeh, followed by a look at the generic setup for quarters. Various elements will be taken in and out to tailor it for each person. Then we got a look at A LOT of vents…
The last part of the tour – at least the last part that isn't currently embargoed by Syfy – is of Dr. Hatake's quarters. He's the head of the Arctic Biosystems lab.
Yes, yes that is a vent in Dr. Hatake's office. Uh oh.
Helix is an intense thriller about a team of scientists from the Centers for Disease Control who travel to a high-tech research facility in the Arctic, Arctic Biosystems, to investigate a possible disease outbreak, only to find themselves pulled into a terrifying life-and-death struggle that may hold the key to mankind's salvation or total annihilation. However, the lethal threat is just the tip of the iceberg, and as the virus evolves, the chilling truth begins to unravel.
The 13-episode Syfy drama is executive produced by Ronald D. Moore (Battlestar Galactica, Outlander), Steven Maeda (Lost, The X-Files) who is also showrunner, and Lynda Obst (Sleepless in Seattle, Contact). Cameron Porsandeh, who wrote the pilot, will serve as a Co-Executive Producer.
Billy Campbell (The Killing, Killing Lincoln) stars as Dr. Alan Farragut, leader of the Centers for Disease Control outbreak field team called upon to investigate and control a potential outbreak. Hiroyuki Sanada (The Wolverine, 47 Ronin) also stars as Dr. Hiroshi Hatake, director of Arctic Biosystems and its mysterious viral research program.
Helix also stars Kyra Zagorsky (Supernatural) as Dr. Julia Walker, Mark Ghanimé (Emily Owens, M.D.) as Major Sergio Balleseros, Jordan Hayes (House at the End of the Street) as Dr. Sarah Jordan, Meegwun Fairbrother as Daniel Aerov, Catherine Lemieux (White House Down) as Dr. Doreen Boyle and Neil Napier (Riddick) as Dr. Peter Farragut.
Prolific director and producer Jeffrey Reiner is directing the premiere episode of Helix. Reiner directed multiple episodes of notable television series such as the critically acclaimed and award-winning Friday Night Lights, Awake and The Event.
Helix is produced by Tall Ship Productions, Kaji Productions and Lynda Obst Productions in association with Sony Pictures Television.
We'll have much more for you about Helix in the days and weeks to come, including some great info in an exclusive interview with the show's creator, Cameron Porsandeh. Until then, don't forget to use that hand sanitizer.
Helix, starring Billy Campbell, Hiroyuki Sanada, Kyra Zagorsky, Mark Ghanimé, Jordan Hayes, Meegwun Fairbrother, Catherine Lemieux and Neil Napier, premieres in 2014 on Syfy.

TORONTO (January 3, 2014) U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who vowed months ago to renounce his Canadian citizenship by the end of 2013, is still a dual citizen.
Cruz, 43, who was born in Calgary, recently said in an interview with the Dallas Morning News that lawyers are preparing the paperwork to renounce citizenship, just as he said in August.
But Richard Kurland, a Vancouver-based immigration attorney, wonders what's taking so long.
Kurland said Friday that unless there's a security or mental health issue that hasn't been disclosed, renouncing citizenship is a simple, quick process.
The thorny issue of the Cruz's birthplace has been a headache for the senator, since some in the neo-conservative movement accused President Barack Obama of being born in Kenya and thus not being eligible to be U.S. president.

Authorities say a man killed during a police standoff in northeast Omaha was armed with a shotgun, making suicidal and threatening statements, and holding a child.
Omaha police said Tuesday that 31-year-old Tyree Bell, of Omaha, was shot by officers at 6:20 a.m. Tuesday, after more than two hours of negotiations.
Police say they were called to the scene shortly after 4 a.m. Authorities say negotiators tried to calm Bell, but the situation deteriorated to the point where they believed he posed an immediate threat to officers and the child.
At least four officers fired their weapons. Police say Bell was shot multiple times. He was pronounced dead at a local hospital.
The department has launched an internal investigation. The officers will be placed on paid, administrative leave.

newjerseydevils.com – Mired in their longest losing streak in nearly two years, the Buffalo Sabres' first choice for their next game wouldn't be a matchup with Martin Brodeur and the first-place Devils.
That's what the struggling Sabres face, however, as they look to snap a six-game overall skid and post a rare win in New Jersey tonight (7 p.m., FSN NY, WFAN 660 AM).
A season-high six-game win streak from Dec. 12-22 appeared to signal that Buffalo (19-18-3) was poised to solidify its hold on a playoff spot in the crowded Eastern Conference. The Sabres, though, followed that run with an 0-4-2 skid, their first six-game losing streak since March 18-27, 2006.
The Sabres, who reached the conference finals the last two years, are just one point ahead of last-place Toronto in the Northeast and wouldn't make the playoffs if the season ended today.
Buffalo opened a three-game road trip Sunday and allowed three third-period goals in a 5-2 loss to Atlanta.
Thomas Vanek and Clarke MacArthur scored for the Sabres, who have totaled 10 goals during the current skid.
"We're doing things right, but we just can't score goals," defenseman Jaroslav Spacek said. "We scored two goals, and that isn't enough. We can play better."
That's certainly the case in net, as Ryan Miller gave up four goals on 29 shots Sunday after he was pulled midway through a 5-3 loss to Ottawa on Friday.
Like most of his teammates, Miller has struggled against New Jersey (23-15-3). He's 2-6-1 with a 2.88 goals-against average in nine starts against them.
Buffalo, which hasn't dropped seven straight since Dec. 4-19, 2003, is 3-10-2 with two ties against the Devils since the start of the 2002-03 season. The Sabres are 1-6-2 at New Jersey in that span.
Center Derek Roy had been one of Buffalo's most consistent producers this season, but he has managed only one point in his past eight games.
The Sabres will face Brodeur after he got a rare night off Saturday in New Jersey's 4-3 defeat at Boston.
Kevin Weekes made 21 saves for the Devils, who are 5-2-0 in their last seven games. New Jersey lost despite registering a season-high 45 shots, including a 20-1 margin in the third period.
Boston's Tim Thomas finished with 42 saves.
"Tim played great. Besides that, we played hard," New Jersey's Jamie Langenbrunner said.
Brodeur is 5-1-0 with two shutouts and a 1.32 GAA in his last six starts. He stopped 36 shots in a 3-0 victory over Philadelphia on Friday in his most recent appearance.
Brodeur is 8-1-0 with a 1.65 GAA in his last nine home starts against Buffalo. He was in net for New Jersey's 2-1 shootout win over the visiting Sabres on Dec. 28.
The Devils will be happy to get back home, where they have won four straight and nine of 10 since losing four of their first seven at the new Prudential Center.
These teams meet again Saturday in Buffalo.

Perhaps you could tell me what our War with Japan had to do with our War with Germany (aside from the fact that J&G were allies, these were essentially two different wars -- different leaders, different objectives, different V-days, etc.). What I'm not remembering is how and why the USA got entangled in the _European_ end of things. You'll notice I had not mentioned the Pacific end of things at all.

WASHINGTON (WOMENSENEWS)--Does the rape of a child deserve the death penalty, when the rape of a woman does not?
The Supreme Court considered the question Wednesday in a case probing the constitutionality of a Louisiana law that allows state prosecutors to seek the death penalty against criminals convicted of raping girls and boys under age 12.
Capital punishment for adult rape--where women are the vast majority of victims--was ruled unconstitutional 30 years ago in Coker v. Georgia. In that case, the high court argued that death was too excessive a punishment for a crime that did not take away life.
But lawyers representing the state argued that the rape of a child is a more serious offense and deserves a harsher penalty.
"Young children, particularly prepubescent children, are especially vulnerable and especially unprepared to deal with the emotional devastation that comes from child rape," Texas Solicitor General Ted Cruz, who argued the case before the high court, said.
The Louisiana law allowing for lethal injection for child rapists, he said, is necessary for deterrence and retribution.
But critics say the law--and similar laws in five other states--reflect an undercurrent of cultural antipathy toward women.
"Once somebody becomes an adult it's as if we're not concerned about sexual violence against them," said Judy Benitez, executive director of the Louisiana Foundation Against Sexual Assault in Hammond, La. "It's as though it's not as serious as a child."
Death Penalty for Stepdaughter's Rape
In 2003, Patrick Kennedy was sentenced to death for raping his 8-year-old stepdaughter.
Kennedy appealed to the Louisiana Supreme Court, arguing that the sentence violated the Eighth Amendment's constitutional protection against cruel and unusual punishment.
The Louisiana Supreme Court upheld the sentence. In reaching its conclusion, the court argued that the recent adoption of capital child rape statutes in six states signaled a national trend in favor of harsher penalties for child--but not adult--rapists.
The Supreme Court agreed to hear Kennedy's appeal in January.
In Wednesday's oral arguments, the justices appeared to agree that child rape falls in a separate category from adult rape, but were divided over whether it merits death.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg--who prior to her judicial appointment helped launch the Women's Rights Project at the American Civil Liberties Union in New York--joined other justices in making a distinction between adult and child rape.
In the distant past, rapists of adult women were killed in part because raping a woman was seen as destruction of a husband or father's property, she said. "Making rape equivalent to murder was no kindness to women because it said once you've been raped you've been spoiled," Ginsburg elaborated. "There's no parallel to child rape," she said.
Reflecting Citizen Judgment
During the hearing, Justice Antonin Scalia seemed to support legislative efforts to expand the death penalty. State governments, he suggested, are entitled to pass laws that reflect citizens' moral judgment on capital punishment. "The trend here is clearly in the direction of permitting more and more" crimes to be eligible for the death penalty, Scalia said.
At the other end of the ideological spectrum, Justice Stephen Breyer worried that allowing states to put child rapists to death would trigger a flood of new laws that would lead to a dramatic expansion of the death penalty.
"I'm not a moralist, I'm a judge," he said, adding that if the argument were accepted it would open the door to more states passing death penalty laws for non-homicide crimes.
In recent years, the Supreme Court has circumscribed eligibility for the death penalty, ruling it unconstitutional in cases involving juveniles and the mentally retarded.
Other justices seemed to search for ways to narrow the scope of Louisiana's law so only the most horrific crimes--such as child rape involving intent to kidnap or multiple victims--would be eligible for the death penalty.
Prevalence of Crime
Eighteen percent of U.S. women--or about 1 in 6--have been victims of an attempted or completed rape in their lifetime, according to the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network, a victim service provider in Washington, D.C. Three percent of U.S. men, or 1 in 33, has experienced attempted or completed rape.
Forty-four percent of victims of rape or sexual assault are under age 18, according to the network.
Data breaking down child rape by gender were not available. But the network cited statistics that 7 percent of girls in grades 5-8 have been sexually abused and 3 percent of boys in the same age range.
Executing child rapists will make victims less likely to report crimes, exacerbating the problem of underreporting sexual assault of children, according to a friend-of-the-court brief filed by the Louisiana Foundation Against Sexual Assault, the Texas Association Against Sexual Assault, the National Alliance to End Sexual Violence and other groups.
Moreover, punishing child rape with death will give perpetrators an added incentive to kill the victim, who is often the sole witness to the crime, according to the brief. In addition, making child rape a capital offense would protract the trial and generate publicity, intensifying trauma experienced by victims, the brief states.
"By permitting the execution of perpetrators of child sexual abuse, the statute will likely have exactly the wrong effect: Rather than protecting children, this statute will increase the number of victimized children, encourage offenders to kill their victims and interfere with victims' healing process."

Amazon Product Description:
Family is not our greatest success story; the Mueller's being no exception. Set in a present-day wilderness community, the story recounts Anne Mueller's determination to find her runaway daughter, save a neighbor child on the run, and understand what it is we do that drives our children from us. She persists; inspired by her Cree native friends' model of harmonious living and a harrowing wilderness experience that changes everything for her.
Anne's relationship with her dog, Timber, her horse, Spook, a neighbor child, Little Bit, her friend, Billie and the vast wilderness around her are compelling elements of this novel, which proves to be both thought provoking and brimming with wildness. It is an adventure story on many levels.
How I wish I had read this book 40 years ago! Christina Carson has done it again. SUFFER THE LITTLE CHILDREN is much more than a Canadian wilderness adventure. She is a wisdom seeker in real life, and has the incredible gift of being able to convey what she has found in a riveting, transformative story that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
You will find yourself in love with the soulful characters of the novel: the lovely, widowed Anne, who narrates the story with an undercurrent of past hurts ever near the surface; Sarah (Little Bit), the wounded and confused girl who comes into her life; Billie, her trusted and loyal male friend of many years; and of course, the Cardinals, a native Cree family who provide much of the wisdom to be found here.
I found much of my own philosophy for life in this book, having been raised in that beautiful tri-culture of New Mexico, where Native ways informed much of my early life. One particular quote from the book is something I've always known at a cellular level, and wish all parents and spouses would heed: "They need not live life afraid, and if you're not afraid, you've no need for control." If you think about it, one fear or another is really the basis for all the pain we cause others in attempting to control them. Besides being a very compelling and exciting read, this book is extremely rich in the knowledge and importance of reconnecting to nature and Great Spirit. Like the Tao teaches, those who are disconnected from the Tao will suffer. It is same wisdom one will find in Native American Spirituality. It is Truth to the core and something upon which we must meditate and ponder.
The author gives us a touchable sense of the spirit of friendship and sacredness. You come to realize that the gifts of spirit and earth that are found in many traditions are for the healing of all beings and the peaceful friendship of all peoples. Her gift is in making you feel it. She gently leads you down the path to love, compassion, generosity, patience, wisdom, justice, courage, respect, humility and all the other great gifts of soulful living.
I would recommend this book to anyone that chooses to seek a greater understanding of the self. This is not a Native only understanding as the symbolism and methods utilized within it have been available to all at one time or another. It is simply written with a basic insight into the process of the recovery of our humanity from the perspectives of First Nation People. A process, I might add, that invites one to transform one's perspectives to live a more balanced, healthier and happier life.
This is a bonafide spiritual growth tool which is suitable for youth and adults. I have seen few books that are written in such easy to read, yet compelling, language but so truly FULL of information.
This book will cause much introspection and will give a wonderful roadmap for those that are courageous enough to take the journey. I recommend this book to everyone old enough to read and understand. In point of fact, you should seek out anything Christina Carson writes. Your life will indeed be the richer for it!
--Jo VonBargen 2013
FROM THIS FAR TIME, The Human Saga, an epic work of poetry which is a sort of time capsule for future generations about the history and missteps of humanity...and hope for the future.
