Leading nonprofit patient education organization Allergy & Asthma Network announces the launch of a unique asthma management tool: the free Asthma Storylines app. Powered by Health Storylines™, this is a self-care tool that allows users to track symptoms and create an accurate record of asthma that can be easily shared with the patient's healthcare team.
"Asthma is a variable disease, with symptoms that may seem random," says Tonya Winders, Allergy Asthma Network President and CEO. "With understanding and a watchful eye, however, patients and families can see the pattern of their symptoms and learn to prevent and treat them before they get out of control. The Asthma Storylines app offers families a way to build and see the story of their child's health and work with their healthcare team to develop a personalized Asthma Action Plan of prevention and treatment."

How do we define non-adherence in today's digital age? What are the variables associated with the idea of non-adherence? This week's patient intelligence and insights newsletter focuses on how companies are tackling the continuous problem of non-adherence. From skydivers turned inventors to smart pill dispensers, we explore the value of the technologies that don't solely require an input from the individual taking the medication, but how technologies are creating a community of transparency for the patient, caregiver and clinician.
Cystic Fibrosis is a debilitating and fatal ailment that affects about 30,000 people in the US, 50% of them being children. Adherence in usage of a nebulizer is especially critical for children with cystic fibrosis. Read how a skydiver and father to a child with cystic fibrosis turned into an inventor and developed a technology that gamifies and optimizes the child's experience of using their nebulizer.

"The person with the least access to data in the system is the patient," he said. "You can get it, but the burden is always on the patient. And it is scattered across many different silos of patient data." Access to medical information for the patient may be unconventional, but has a significant power to enable self-care and improve medication adherence. See how MIT doctoral student Steven Keating is advocating the importance of providing patients more streamlined access to their own medical information to better understand their health. Read More

We live in a digital era where big data, the internet of things and predictive analytics shape the decisions of our future. What truly defines the aggregation of real world evidence captured from the devices that we use on a daily basis? What are the inputs, stories and data sources that holistically measure a patient journey? At Self Care Catalysts, we are working towards building an analytics platform primed to capture real-world, real-time evidence from patient journies. This week's patient intelligence and insights newsletter explores the importance and value of capturing such insights to supplement the traditional methods of clinical research.

With US midterm elections in full swing, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is once again in the spotlight. With the stated goal of expanding access to care, the Affordable Care Act has reduced the uninsured population by 31% to 11% of adults under 651. Today's PII explores the science behind expanded access to care and what it means for population health.
Mortality and Access to Care among Adults after State Medicaid Expansions
Sommers et al. (2012) N Engl J Med 367 1025-1034
This study demonstrated that Medicaid expansion resulted in an overall reduction in mortality compared to control States with no Medicaid expansion. The reduction in deaths was seen primarily in older adults, non-whites and residents of counties with a low socio-economic status. With the expansion of Medicaid, costs associated with delayed care were reduced by 21% coupled with an overall improvement in self-reported health status.
The Association Between Insurance Status And Prostate Cancer Outcomes: Implications For The Affordable Care Act.
Mahal et al. (2014) Prostate Cancer Prostatic Dis 17(3) 273-9
In this investigation, those without insurance were more likely to be from a lower socio-economic health status, lower level of educational attainment, and non-white. After adjusting for these potential confounders, insured men were more likely to present earlier in the course of disease, receive definitive treatment and have improved survival rates. The authors conclude that the Affordable Care Act will improve outcomes for men with prostate cancer, who are currently ineligible for Medicaid.
The Oregon Experiment—Effects of Medicaid on Clinical Outcomes.
Baicker et al. (2013) N Engl J Med 368(18) 1713-1722
In a seminal paper on the effects of Medicaid expansion granted through lottery in the state of Oregon, Baicker and authors conclude that the ACA may result in increased use of health care services, raise rates of diabetes detection and management, lower rates of depression, and reduce financial strain. The study only covered two years of expanded coverage, which was too short to detect significant improvements in physical health outcomes.
Specialty Drug Spending Trends Among Medicare And Medicare Advantage Enrollees, 2007–11
Trish et al. (2014) Health Aff. 33 2018-2024
The Affordable Care Act has improved access to care for millions of Americans, primarily through expansion of Medicaid in participating states. Although the impact on population health of the demonstrated increased use of preventive services and chronic disease management may not be felt for some time, expanded access will further inflate the $2.7 trillion spent on US healthcare in 2013 alone.
Overwhelmed healthcare systems are increasingly looking to technology as a way to allow physicians to more effectively manage growing patient populations and facilitate greater patient self-care. Some estimates place the potential savings of mHealth technologies at 35% the cost of treating chronic conditions with standard of care. The Affordable Care Act has largely succeeded in expanding access to care to millions, with the notable side effect of stimulating a new era of health technology innovation necessary to meet the increased need for care without breaking the bank.
The Pharmaceutical industry can play a pivotal role in advancing patient experience by investing in technology and human capital interventions that can fill outstanding gaps in the value care chain. Increasingly, patients and caregivers are looking for new avenues to drive their own healthcare agenda e.g. treatment advocacy, reduced health insurance rates, more effective physician and patient conversations, etc. These are all new opportunities for the Pharmaceutical industry to actively participate in providing better care for patients.
October 28, 2014
This week's PII focuses on the importance of communication, education and information to help patients engage in self-care and proper disease management. During a patient's journey there are many opportunities to educate, treat and learn. Determining the best communication method for each patient at critical points in their journey is an essential component to achieving a fully informed and engaged patient. This has the ability to improve care and reduce burden of disease. The articles herein demonstrate the importance of effective communication between providers and patients.
Liquid medication dosing errors in children: role of provider counselling strategies.
Yin HS et al. (2014) Acad Pediatr 14(3) 262-270
This study found that parents' dosing errors could be reduced by counselling services that included demonstrations, show-back (show me what I just did) and teach-back (teach me what I taught you) and standardized dosing instruments. Of the 287 parents surveyed, 41% made dosing errors when administering liquid medication to their children despite receiving some form of counselling. While both counselling alone and instrument provision were reported to reduce errors, after adjusting for confounders only provision of both counselling and dosing instrumentation together resulted in a reduced likelihood of dosing errors. Providing adequate training and tools to parents is essential for minimizing the risk of inaccurate dosing.
Rheumatology clinicians' experiences of brief training and implementation of skills to support patient self-management.
Dures et al. (2014) BMC Musculoskelet Disord. 15(108) 10.1186/1471-2474-15-108
Healthcare providers (doctors, nurses, occupational therapists) agreed that self-care is an important component of inflammatory arthritis management. When provided with education around teaching self-care, most healthcare providers were able to easily incorporate the practice of teaching self-management to their patients. Those who participated identified three key areas to address self-care behaviour. 1) Putting theory into practice – adequately translating self-care information into actionable patient education 2) challenging professional identity – each of the healthcare providers struggled with their ability to move out of their traditional role as the decider and into a participatory health coaching role 3) enhanced practice – all the participants agreed that having a better understanding of how to teach self-management would enhance their practice and therefore improve patient care.
Barriers and facilitators to self-care communication during medical appointments in the United States for adults with type 2 diabetes.
Ritholz et al. (2014) Chronic Illn Feb 24 EPub ahead of print
The dominant barriers to proper communication around diabetes self-care included: the fear of being judged or shamed by the physician, lack of recall by the patient, and cultural background (see our recent PII). Conversely, having a trusting and non-judgemental environment, the ability to engage in open and honest discussions around the self-care activities, and the ability of the physician to respond with positive and hope-filled messages fostered an environment that allowed for appropriate communication around self-care strategies. As is evident from this study and the complex care required for diabetes self-management, improving patient-physician communication around self-care behaviours during medical appointments represents a critical time to address these behaviors. Creating the appropriate environment could have a profound impact on the health of diabetic patients.
Self-management behaviors in older adults with asthma: associations with health literacy.
Federman et al. (2014) J Am Geriatr Soc. 62(5) 872-9
This study demonstrated that health literacy can predict proper adherence and usage of asthma controlling medications. Older adults (>60 years) with low health literacy had an adherence rate of 22% compared to 47% adherence rate in those with adequate health literacy. There was a similar trend observed for proper medication usage, as those with higher health literacy were more likely to practice proper medication taking techniques. Asthma avoidance behaviours (such as proper cleaning, shutting windows, and appropriate use of dust covers) were more likely to be used by those with high health literacy. Communication and teaching strategies aimed at low health literacy may find the largest opportunities for improving adherence.
A 3-stage model of patient-centered communication for addressing cancer patients' emotional distress.
Dean and Street (2014) Patient Educ Couns 94(2) 143-8
The authors developed a model to help clinicians better communicate and treat emotionally distressed cancer patients. The stages in the model include recognition, exploration, and therapeutic action. In the recognition stage, it is important for the clinician to address the emotional distress of the patients. This is difficult because many patients are not forthright with their clinicians about their feelings around the diagnosis. The authors suggest that the clinician must be aware of this and provide patients and their circle of support an opportunity to share these thoughts and feelings. During exploration stage, clinicians must develop empathy and provide clarity and validation of the emotional concerns. Finally the clinicians must be able to take therapeutic action with their patients beyond treating the cancer itself. This includes utilizing active listening techniques, provision of information in a relevant and therapeutic way, and referring to support groups or other external resources as necessary. This model is designed to help facilitate the steps to alleviate the emotional distress to produce a positive health outcome.
There are many points along a patient's journey that could be supported by strategies and techniques aimed at improving communication. Creating an appropriate communication strategy involves both the patient and physician. As is evident from these studies, patients often worry about how their feelings and actions will be interpreted by their physicians. Accordingly they are often reluctant to share directly, which negatively impacts care. By breaking down these barriers and providing patients with strategies to share or discuss their needs is an important step in creating an empowered patient. From the providers perspective the ability to relay and teach appropriate care messaging needs to address several key aspects including:
While the burden of patient education often falls on the shoulder of the providers, more and more patients are turning to online and other sources of information about their disease and treatment options. In this regard, we note that many of these patients still do not find what they are looking for. In support of provider based education, we have seen first hand the benefit of utilizing a mobile platform to improve patient-physician communication leading to improved understanding both pre and post care.

I want to warn everyone about our local Rite Aid Pharmacy stores. Rite Aid now has a policy that if you use a debit or credit card they will charge your card for the full amount you approve and then within 3 minutes will request and charge another charge for the same amount. If you use a debit card you must then contact your bank and file a fraud event on the card in order to get the money back. The store manager in Mount Airy does nothing and blames it on the customer's bank.
The truth has been exposed by my bank and unknowingly exposed by the Rite Aid corporate credit processing center that it is the local stores' fault. The asinine manager, Dennis, blamed my bank, the processing center and finally the interim processing company. This manager is in the wrong job, he belongs at the toilet, where all assholes seem to belong. The programming in the card reading devices are set to create one pending charge and if the first pending charge is not completed in 1 minute it sends a second request your bank.
DON'T USE CREDIT OR DEBIT CARDS FOR CHARGES OVER $50 at RITE AID! YOU WILL GET DOUBLE CHARGED.

What have you been eating? Is this following any kind of fast?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Marks Daily Apple Forum mobile app
Just curious if anyone has a hard/fast heart beat after eating and what you've done to resolve it. I also sometimes have it at night when lying down and I find that drinking apple cider vinegar makes it better. This makes me think maybe it has something to do with my digestion. I have to admit I do have a problem with eating too much sugar but I have completely cut it out and am doing the primal blueprint diet but still have this problem sometimes. Is it that my body needs to adjust to digesting more protein? How long does this take if so?
What have you been eating? Is this following any kind of fast?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Marks Daily Apple Forum mobile app
There is a type of food intolerance testing where you check your pulse a certain number of minutes after eating a food and if your heart rate is increased, it means you have an intolerance. There is a certain logic to it that appeals to me.
I get this all the time if I combine honey with dairy so I know exactly what you are describing. Not sure how I can have an intolerance only to the combo. But who knows. I know i also get it if I eat wheat with sugar. But not sugar on it's own.
I also get it sometime when I am laying down and then go turn over. My dad gets it too.
Using low lectin/nightshade free primal to control autoimmune arthritis. (And lost 50 lbs along the way )
Thanks. Actually I feel good in the morning after eating the dairy & honey and abstaining from all other sugars. But I don't know why I still got tired later in the day and had the hard heart beat after eating a salad with chicken. But then again I can't say it was organic chicken so who knows what was in it that I could be having a reaction to. They keep modifying so many things and making people allergic to them pretty soon we'll have nothing left to eat!
Try some safe food, grass fed ribeye and spinach cooked in butter, for example. See if it still happens. Also, the bulletproof executive has an iOS app to test for food sensitivities, but I use android so I haven't tried it.

It is actually a very logical reaction from your body. Digesting food is hard work and raised your blood pressure a little (It's safe to say that the more you eat sugar and overeat the higher the bloodpressure will get) (speaking from experience here)
This is one of the reasons you feel an after-dinner-dip, when you feel tired and lethargic after a big meal. Your body is dealing with the influx of food.
So what you are feeling after eating when you lay down is either your heart beating harder due to the higher blood pressure or your heart beating faster due to the hard work your body is doing.
A few things might help.
- Drink.... I find eating cold stuff like yoghurt or ice cream after dinner helps as well but a cup of tea or a glass of water does work miracles. Help you bodu digest the dry food stuff by adding fluids and lower your blood pressure.
- Go for a walk. Don't lay down, it will make your body work harder. just take a short walk for 10 minutes or so after your meal.
- quite the opposit, here in Holland many people still take a nap after the big meal. You can always let your body do the work and you sleep through it. a 15 minute nap should be enough.
- Don't get stressed out about it. the more stress it gives you the higher your blood pressure will get the worse you will feel.
- don't eat such a big meal all in once, eat slowly and take your time to eat. I know PB says 3 or 2 big meals but if you feel bad after it, listen to your body and eat over a longer period of time.
Just try what works for you... listen closely to your body but not everything is something that should send you into a panic.
My story, My thought....
It's all about trying to stay healthy!!!!
Perhaps it has nothing to do with food and you simply have one of those tachycardia things. My boyfriend had AV node rentry tachycardia for decades. There are many kinds of these tachycardias and some are triggered by things like drinking cold water or exercising and some just come and go randomly.
Female, 5'3", 50, Max squat: 202.5lbs. Max deadlift: 225 x 3.
I know about a girl who always fainted when eating. it was found out that because the swallowing of food interfered with the AV node it stopped her heart beating every time for just a second or so but sometimes with large bites she would faint.
My story, My thought....
It's all about trying to stay healthy!!!!
This is actually NOT generally the case. Drinking with a meal lowers stomach PH and therefore HCL levels and SLOWS digestion.Originally Posted by MarielleGO

Skip to comments.Alex Karras, former All-Pro defensive lineman, actor, dies at 77
Posted on 10/10/2012 8:11:07 AM PDT by Zakeet
Alex Karras, the rugged lineman who anchored the Detroit Lions' defense in the 1960s, then went on to an acting career in which he starred in the sitcom Webster and famously punched a horse in the 1974 comedy Blazing Saddles, died Wednesday. He was 77.
Karras, who had recently suffered kidney failure, died at home in Los Angeles surrounded by family members, said Craig Mitnick, Karras' attorney.
Diagnosed with dementia, Karras in April joined the more than 3,500 former NFL players suing the league for not protecting them better from head injuries, immediately becoming one of the best-known names in the legal fight.
Detroit drafted Karras with the 10th overall pick in 1958 out of Iowa and he was a four-time All-Pro defensive tackle over 12 seasons with the franchise.
He was a terror on the field, using a variety of moves to push around opposing linemen and get into the backfield. His Lions handed the powerful 1962 Green Bay Packers their only defeat that season, a 26-14 upset on Thanksgiving during which they harassed quarterback Bart Starr constantly.
Packers guard Jerry Kramer wrote in his diary of the 1967 season about his trepidation over having to play Karras.
"I'm thinking about him every minute," Kramer wrote.
For all his prowess on the field, Karras may have gained more fame when he turned to acting in the movies and on television.
Playing a not-so-bright bruiser in Mel Brooks' Blazing Saddles, he not only slugged a horse but also delivered the classic line: "Mongo only pawn in game of life."
Rest in peace Mr. Karras.
R.I.P., sir. Condolences to Alex's family and friends. Quite the character. Fearsome Foursome BUMP!
RIP Alex..
He seemed to be a guy with a good sense of humor.
RIP Alex you were class act on the field and off. Prayers for the family.
RIP Mr. Karras. We're all sad for Mongo
RIP Mongo.
Thanks for that.....that made me smile. I love hearing things like that.
Life catches up with all of us sooner or later. Having Susan by his side to the end must have been a great comfort to him. Deepest sympathy to her.
RIP, big guy.
Thank you Mr. Karras, for making life more enjoyable.
R.I.P., Mongo.
RIP Alex.... Thanks for the good memories!
I second that. RIP, Alex. I'm going to watch my DVD of Blazing Saddles this weekend for the umpteenth time, in Mongo's honor.
I was wondering if he and Susan were still together. Glad they were. Loved them in "Babe".....(Babe Didrikson Zaharias that is). RIP Alex......:(
" I'm going to keeeck a touchdown, I am going to keeeck a touchdown"
My favorite Karras quote.
Dang, I would hate to see someone like that facing me across a scrimmage line. He was a great player, never played dirty.
I remember reading "Run to Daylight" by Jerry Kramer, and thinking to myself "Boy, he sounds like he and his teammates were scared sh**less of this guy Alex Karras..."
Rest In Peace, Mr. Karras, and thank you for putting your God-given talents to such good use. Our prayers are with your loved ones.
RIP Mongo. Lord, please comfort his family in their loss.
RIP Mongo, and thanks for the laughs. Blazing Saddles tonight!
Sad day.
Prayers to the family.
RIP Mr. Karras.
You brought a lot of thrills, a lot of thought, a lot of laughs and a lot of joy to literally millions of people.
Many of us envy your legacy and mourn your passing.

Actress Saritha's Marriage Life In Lurch
South actress Saritha, who was last seen in Kannada movie Dashamukha is in news. It was well known that the actress, who had married to Malayalam actor Mukesh, was separated from him and settled abroad with her children.
Saritha, who made her Sandalwood debut with Thappida Thala in 1978, was in limelight when she opposed her ex-husband Mukesh's marriage with a Malayali dancer Methil Devika. The actress had claimed that the marriage is illegal as she and Mukesh have still not got divorce in the court.
Saritha had married Mukesh in 1988, and the couple were blessed with two children. It is said that the duo got separated due to marital discord. The actress, who is presently residing in Dubai with her two sons Sravan and Thejas,has given a press statement saying that Mukesh has taken advantage of her absence in India, and married Devika.
She said, "Mukesh did not appear in the court for many hearings, whereas I travelled down from abroad each time for the court hearings. Later, due to his consistent absence, the divorce petition on mutual basis was withdrawn by me in 2010. Thereafter, Mukesh has not sent me any notice or petition for divorce."

Tony Pulis' side are on an unbeaten run of 10 Premier League games and have not lost at the Britannia Stadium in the league since February 4.
Both those records looked set to come to an end when they trailed Southampton 3-1 at half-time on Saturday and were still a goal behind, and down to 10 men, heading into the 90th minute.
But substitute Cameron Jerome proved to be the hero with a stunning 30-yard volley that earned Stoke a point and kept them in eighth.
On Tuesday they make the short journey up the M6 to the Etihad Stadium to take on the reigning champions, who will hope to close the seven-point gap to leaders Manchester United.
Jones said: "We are doing well. We had a few slip-ups but credit to the team, the manager and the fans for the run we have been on.
"The next game is the most important game for us because we're going to the home of the champions.
"Here at Stoke City we play for 90 minutes. If we get beat, we get beat, but we'll never give up. That comes from pride.
"This is our job. No-one wants to lose so you're not just going to stand there and accept defeat."

|Too many people
Date Climbed: May 2, 2015
|If you could ever do this without the crowds it would be incredible. There were so many people that I didn't enjoy it as much as I had hoped. Still a must do. Views are stellar.

|Nice route
Date Climbed: Apr 24, 2012
|Many people. Cheeky squirrels.
|Posted Jan 22, 2015 6:14 am
|My parents and I hiked this trail early in the morning, only a handful of people when we were there. This could be climbed without the chains, but it is true that a fall would be dire. The views straight down to the park road below are amazing, as they are in every direction. if you like to hike, don't leave Zion N.P. without trying this one.

Exercises for the confined long-passage sailor
by Beth Greenwald/The Triton on 6 Jun 2012
Chart table - not much exercise here .. .
All yacht crew spend time on their feet, but, especially in a long passage, one can be confined for long stretches, without opportunity for normal exercise, particularly if your role is not a very physical one, eg. as navigator. The Triton has recognised this for professional crews, and has had strength and conditioning specialist Beth Greenwald, make some suggestions:
It is important to remember the need to stand up, move and stretch every 30-45 minutes, if possible. This helps to increase blood flow, increase energy levels, relieve tension, and decrease back and joint pain.
Following are some stretching exercises that you can do right at your seat. Try to get up out of your seat or off your bunk and walk a bit before and after performing the following stretches.
Perform 2-3 sets of the following:
Shoulder rolls
Most of us tend to slouch and our shoulders are a bit rounded forward, so it is important to focus on backward shoulder rolls. Dramatically emphasize the motion: forward, up to the ears, around to the back and down. Perform 15 repetitions.
Neck stretch
Begin with your ears in line with your shoulders and arms down at your sides. Slowly tilt your left ear to your left shoulder and hold for 10-15 seconds. Switch sides to complete 1 set.
Wrist circles
Hold up both hands and circle the wrists 10 times each clockwise and counterclockwise.
Open/Close Hands
Hold both hands up and open and close the hands 15-10 times. Make sure to exaggerate the movement.
Torso twist
Sit up tall in your chair, turn to the right and place both hands on the right armrest or side of the chair. Slowly twist to the right, keeping your eyes level and make sure to not slouch or round the back. Once you reach your furthest point, hold for 10-15 seconds. Repeat on the other side to complete 1 set.
Shoulder stretch
Extend your right arm in front of you. Place the left hand on the right elbow and pull it directly across your chest to stretch the right shoulder, holding for 10-15 seconds. Repeat with the left arm.
Hamstring stretch
Sit up tall, on the edge of your chair and extend your right leg in front of you, keeping a slight bend in the knee and the heel on the floor. Bring the navel towards the thigh, without rounding the upper back to stretch the right hamstring. Hold for 10-15 seconds and repeat on the left side.
Calf Stretch
Start with both feet flat on the floor, toes pointed forward and knees directly over the ankles. Lift the heels off the ground as you raise your legs onto the balls of your feet and hold for 2-3 seconds. Repeat 10 times to complete 1 set.
Ankle rolls
Lift your right foot off of the ground and roll the ankle 10 times clockwise and 10 times counterclockwise.

Skip to comments.Short Bus's Obama Birth Certificate Defense Is Officially ZOTTED
Posted on 03/02/2012 9:17:36 AM PST by Short Bus
click here to read article
Blog pimpin' fool. You write this while on the short bus? This reads like a third grader. Ibtz
I've put some of my money where my mouth is. I just made a tax deductible contribution to support the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office Cold Case Posse. I want to see momentum continue to build on these efforts.
That IS about the quality of argument presented and you do well to respond in like manner. lol.
Same here.
I'm sure that was probably the intention.
Pay attention you big silly! Questioning the authenticity is RACIST! She said so. So there's no need to prove anything!
Thank you. That was a really good summation and much better than my explanation.
There's NO WAY anyone with more than 2 brain cells could claim that Certificate is Authentic, is an Original, or that the Draft Card Fraud has been de-bunked.
The State-Run-Media (another Obama ass-kissing surrogate) will NEVER let FACTS get in the way of the Progressive Agenda, even though we have an ILLEGITIMATE Usurper in the White Hut.
LOL! Ok, I'm going to the dog house now.
Liberals seem to apply the "insane" label on anyone who disagrees with them especially when they can apply proof of their claims as the Obama BC is phoney.
I'm proud to be a birther for many reasons. One of them is to annoy the snot out of libtards like Sasha here.
You realize he fell under the "citizen at the time of adoption of the constitution clause", right? He was eligible because of that codicile.
I've summoned a few FRiends to help investigate. I hope you don't mind.
Due to 9-11 NY State tightened up its Dept. of Vital Statics Dept. rules for ID`s. Because I had a different last name from my siblings, the Social Security Administration and the State of New York wanted to know if I was adopted. They could not establish who I was even though my father and mother had used both the Italian and Americanized names. Thus for 7 years I was denied Social Security retirement benefits,
In order to obtain the benefits, I had to pay the SS Administration $41,000 fine for using a false name, and denial of Medicare until the 7th year [age 69]. I am denied to this day a NY State driver`s license or ID card coz I have no paper trail back to grade school.
How can Obummer ever pass such scrutiny as I did whose family on my mother`s side has been here for 350 years?
New York State treats it citizens like crap!
Kick that bum out of the WH!
NY State should come after Obummer for using false information at Columbia Univ and treat him as they treated me.
It's not about whether he's a citizen. It's whether he's a "natural born citizen." Different things.
Please take me off of your ping list. Thank you.
I've already checked out the posting history of Short Bus and the couple of times Short Bus actually replied in a thread.
I think we have a retread here.
It's clear that Short Bus knows how to post a reply. I'm just not sure why she won't deny the charges being made on this thread that she actually is Sasha Brown Whatever.
The Zot.
I was in before. In after.
Why would anyone, let alone a n00b, post a blogger thread on FreeReupblic that contains these words: "In all seriousness, this is vile racism plain and simple. In a place like Arizona, it's no surprise -- after all, many politicians there (including Arpaio) hold rather Draconian views on immigration -- and it's disgusting. And it's getting old fast."
We may have our new monthly victim.
ShortBus, a retread troll.
Pro-homo to boot.
Thank you for your trhead.
We just might choose one of them and beat up on you for a month.
Or, we may decide to hijack your thread to [redacted] land.
Thanks. "My" contra-birthers have disdain for anyone who believes the birth certificate and NBC are important.
That's why I put the quote marks around "right-wing".
This issue seems to bring out the worst in Hussein Heads, especially here, where many feel the need to come out of hiding to bash anyone who cares about Hussein's fraud.
Also, look at my post above and how WRONG you are about the first document being a "certificate of live birth". Go look it up. You'll see it was a "certification of live birth", a different document under Hawaii law at the time even when Certificates of Live Birth were entered in the resister directly from hospital records.
You start off being wrong about the simplest thing, call people racist, and of course you disappear - the coward that you are.
Go somewhere else...there are grownups talking here.
Hey - that's Howard Stern.
Ask any liberal
if little technicalities of the Constitution don't really matter- why was Chief Justice Roberts summoned to inaugurate obama - twice?
(the second time in secret, closed cermoeny. No press permmitted. Why would any US president in this day and age be inagurated IN SECRET)
There was nothing natural about his birth. He was hatched!
They don't write about the forged SS registration, nor the white elephant in the room the CT ssn. Wonder why?
ZOT is good, I suppose.
I can agree with you on the things you said in this post. I'm not so sure that Andrew would be a "right wing contra-birther" if he was alive today. And though we don't know for sure why he died, it could be his willingness to change his mind on this issue - in conjunction with the video he has of Obama during college, which he says shows who Obama really is and what he is really about - is what ultimately ended up silencing him.
Andrew's last interview was with Sheriff Joe Arpaio, in an advance interview regarding the posse's findings the evening before he died. Andrew had commented in early February something along the lines of, "Wait until they see what happens on March 1st!" So he seemed to be aware of what the posse was going to find. Either that, or he was planning on coordinating the release of his own information on March 1st, when it was known the posse would be giving its report.
And somehow the posse was able to make contact with a government worker who has now signed an affidavit saying that he/she was personally at the home of Bill Ayers and heard Bill Ayers' mother introduce Obama as a foreign student they were helping to get an American education. That sounds right up the same alley as the video Breitbart has. In fact, if the government worker was somebody who was supposed to investigate Ayers and his network of friends, the follow-up to the introduction to Obama might well have been to videotape this student that the Ayers family personally supported. So the same person that the posse got the affidavit from may be the same person who gave the video to Breitbart, and that person may have been the connector between the posse and Breitbart or Breitbart might have been the connector between that person and the posse.
It looks to me as if Breitbart may have figured out who Obama is and what he is about (specifically a foreign student who was assisted by Bill Ayers) and expressed a willingness to expose it AND showed a willingness to hear what Arpaio's posse has.
I know that the media was threatened if they reported on this issue. It looks to me as if Breitbart may have resolved in his mind to take up this battle anyway. Now he's dead, and we'll probably never know for sure why he died. The fact that it happened just hours after he interviewed Sheriff Joe about a press conference where it was revealed that a government informant has sworn to hearing Mrs Ayers introduce Obama as a foreign student (which would most likely be revealed on the tape of Obama from college that Breitbart said he would release).... makes it appear very, very fishy, regardless.

the left always try and make certain issues like this a joke and when one brings up certain facts the idiots you mentioned make fun of that person.
It's a typical left wing tactic and you seem to be doing it too.
Well PC and making fun of folks who bring up issues and facts have become old, have become tedious and boring
A judge in GA said he had to show it and did he ? did he hell, he keeps fighting not to show it and have it examined.
Yes he'll use the MSM his pals I might add and he'll say look here it is and then make fun of those who ask for it but it will never be examined in court so ask yourself and the left wing sheep why not.
Irrelevant, he was a Citizen at the time the Constitution was signed.
Begging your pardon, but isn't that exactly what this is about?
This is the typical leftists reply to anything that is true, but they don't like. First, you use ridicule. Instead of disproving an idea, you make fun of it. Then you say it is wrong, but in your world it is wrong simply because you say so. Nothing you say really makes any sense, but sadly you seem to think so.
Since the birth certificate was released, numerous experts have said it was a fake. Besides the birth certificate, there are also many other unanswered questioned about President Obama's background. He needs to answer these questions or not run again.
nail on head.
All we ever hear is that he has shown it bla bla bla,but they never ever face the questions which are posed to them and obama.
Left wing tactic, make fun of those who raise issues and call them names.

The Helpless Help
I'm hoping MeFi can help me with the why and how of an unusual business situation. I own a small marketing agency. An elderly woman wants to retain me to make a Facebook page and write about how she was wronged/is still being wronged by a pair of judges who will not drop a case that should be dropped. In addition to calling out the judges she will make a larger point that judicial character reform is necessary. [more inside]

Enable Facebook Comments for mobile viewing in Google Blogger?
Is there a way to enable Facebook Comments Box for mobile viewing in Google Blogger? I used these instructions to enable Facebook comments on my blog. It worked out, but it's not showing up in the mobile view. This site discusses how to add a widget to the Blogger Mobile Template. The Facebook Comments Box is not exactly a widget. I imagine there's probably a solution to getting it to appear in the mobile view, similiar to this, but I don't know how to do it. Is there a way to add something like this (mobile='yes') to the plugin code?

You lied and now Twitter has found out!
I recently became enthralled with the unfolding Twitter saga of the larcenous wedding photographer. So now I'm wondering how many similar stories have happened without me realizing; not just the big stories like Anthony Weiner, the Li Gong incident and Cook Source, but more low-key incidents that I might not have heard about where people were lying, cheating, or were just plain wrong and were discovered through social media. The human flesh search engine and Internet vigilantism articles on Wikipedia have some famous examples, but does anyone know about more obscure stuff? Thanks!

Is this the case, or is it more innocuous than that?

Boy I wish we had won that game in Indy.. but my day started great as of the first quarter.. I was sitting 2nd row in the endzone, and was standing up as Frank Gore busted a 64 yd run for a TD.. I was taking pictures as he was making it closer and closer. After he walked into the endzone on local TV you notice him pointing.. Well yep you guessed it he was pointing at me. He ran over and gave me the Touchdown ball!!! By far my best game ball yet!!!!

I know this topic has been raised before but having searched through, I'm still struggling.
I've created 2 new sidebar configurations (called sidebarblog and sidebarindex) which, you may guess, display different sidebars depending on it being a blog page or a mainpage
I've tested the code within each and know it to work.
The sidebar.php now contains the following :
<?php if (is_home()) {
} else {
I get an error that I don't understand : Fatal error: Unknown function: get_sidebarindex() in ...sidebar.php on line 4
The url is http://imjon.com
That suggests to me that the files it's looking for don't exist, but they do. I'm sure there's something very simple I'm doing wrong here, but I can't see it. If you can help, I'd be grateful.

After purchasing the property and calling to setup an installation appointment, I was then told it was not available even though there is another property that is only .6 (tenths) of a mile down the road from us. I was TICKED!!!! I stated so you are telling me that I cannot get cable/internet service at all and the customer service rep stated well of course you can get it, but you would have to pay to have the lines ran down to your house. I said "GREAT let's do that." The rep then informs me that it would cost me $22,000.00 per mile to have the service lines ran, plus I would still have to pay the monthly fee. BULL!!!
Every year since I have requested a survey to be ran and every year I am told NO!! it is not available. It is my understanding that years ago there were multiple cable providers and time warner/road runner put in a bid to service this area, but yet they won't service me. I then called our phone provider Verizon to see about DSL, we are 3,000 ft too far and can't get DSL.
Now Verizon is selling FIOS, it is a new fiber optics service and of course the first place in Ohio that they are installing it, is Columbus. Well Columbus already has DSL availability. If Verizon would upgrade the phone lines in my area, I could get DSL. I also called them about ISDN 128K, but the minute I picked up my telephone it will drop down to 64K (pretty much the same as 56K dialup) and for only $120.00 a month.
I pay 9.95 for my current dialup, why in the world would anyone pay $120.00 and then the minute you pick up the phone the speed will drop down to 64K. CRAZY!!! I then had two different satelite companies installed both outrageously priced $600.00 for the modem and installation, please keep in mind I paid this twice!! The first was Direcway and it was horrible, horrible, horrible, our dialup was faster. Not to mention their tech support people are a joke, I spent (not kidding) 5 hours on the phone with them and I mean 5 hours on multiple occasions and they still could not fix the problems. So $70.00 a month for two years with Direcway was a JOKE!
After their contract was up, I reluctantly tried a second satelite company Starband, same thing horrible, horrible, horrible again dialup was faster. I've check to see about T-1 lines and we are talking $600.00 per month for T-1 service.
There has got to be something I can do to get internet service without having to keep our stinking SLOW dialup service or paying an arm and a leg for high speed internet. We do not live in the boonies and there is friggin cable less than ONE MILE from our house and they will not install.
If anyone can help, please let me know what I can do to force Time Warner/Road Runner or Verizon to install/upgrade their lines and provide the service that they requested to provide, by bidding or purchasing the rights in my area. Thanks.

Gas leaf blowers are fast and powerful, making them a good choice for homeowners who need to handle wet leaves and heavy debris or to clean up large properties. However, hand-held gas blowers do have some drawbacks. When choosing a gas model, it's important to find one with good handling and reliability. Although there are no battery run times and power-cord lengths to deal with, "handhelds get uncomfortable after 45 minutes" because of their weight, says Sal Vaglica at This Old House magazine. If you need the power of a gas blower, but want something that's a little easier to use -- though often more expensive -- we cover backpack gas blowers elsewhere in this report. For smaller properties and light duty, an electric leaf blower might also be a good choice.
One thing to keep in mind with all types of gas blowers is that maintaining a gas engine takes more work than maintaining an electric motor: Gas blowers require regular servicing and winterization in the offseason, and most run only with a precise mixture of gas and oil. However, users who need heavy-duty performance say the extra work is worth it.
Our Best Reviewed handheld gas model, the Hitachi RB24EAP (Est. $130) 23.9cc Handheld Blower, stands out for its high-quality parts, excellent sweeping ability and ease of use. This model, which has a top airspeed of 170 mph, features a commercial-grade engine that meets California's tough air-quality standards. It also has a variable-speed trigger and large, two-finger throttle lever for easy operation, although it doesn't vacuum or mulch. It is relatively light at 8.6 pounds and has the longest warranty -- seven years -- of any blower model we found.
The 23.9cc Handheld Blower is among the models tested in ConsumerReport.org's comparative test of nearly 60 models, and it earns a recommendation from Roy Berendsohn of Popular Mechanics, who says it has an effective airstream and can even move soggy debris and prickly seedpods. Among owners, this Hitachi blower earns a rating of 4.6 stars out of 5 based on feedback from nearly 300 users at Lowes.com. Roughly 93 percent say that they would recommend it to a friend. At Amazon.com, reviews for the Hitachi RB24EAP are mingled with those for a Hitachi cordless blower, but the vast majority (more than 1,200) are for this gas blower, and it earns a 4.5-star rating. Regardless of the site, users say the Hitachi gas blower starts up easily, has good airflow and handles well, although some say the location of the inlet valve makes it prone to pull on clothing.
For those who want a gas-powered blower that also vacuums and mulches, the Husqvarna 125BVx (Est. $200) draws some good feedback. It has a top airspeed of 170 mph and comes with an adjustable-length tube as well as flat and round tube tips so you can match the equipment to your task. The blower tube is lined up with the handle, which the company says puts less stress on the wrist and arm, and the variable-speed trigger locks, so you don't need to keep pulling on the trigger. The vacuum feature impressively mulches leaves and other debris, cramming what normally would fill 16 bags down into one. The Husqvarna blower/vacuum has a two-year warranty.
The Husqvarna 125BVx is included in the comparative test of nearly 60 blowers conducted by ConsumerReports.org. It also earns praise from Sal Vaglica of This Old House magazine, who says it's "excellent" at sweeping and "very good" at vacuuming. He also commends the unit's user-friendly design, but finds the impeller small. Among users, the Husqvarna 125BVx gets good feedback, though the Hitachi blower rates better still. For example, it earns a score of 4.1-stars based on more than 360 reviews posted at Lowes.com. Feedback is similar at Amazon.com -- 4 stars following more than 300 reviews. Most say the Husqvarna 125BVx sweeps and vacuums very effectively, and they like the comfortable handle. Some report breakdowns or clogs, and some complain that fuel lines can break after one or two seasons, but this is considered an easy fix for the mechanically inclined.

Due to an unexpected schedule extension with Steve Vai, bassist Philip Bynoe will be unable to perform during WARLORD's 2014 summer European tour. Philip, who remains with WARLORD, recorded the tracks for the band's new album and will be missed this summer.WARLORD, of course, could only replace Philip for the 2014 performances with a musician and performer of the highest caliber. It is therefore with great joy that they are welcoming Gary Wehrkamp of the legendary SHADOW GALLERY into the fold. Being not only a superb bass player but also a great vocalist, Gary will provide the solid rhythm section and a great addition to Mark Zonder's drumming while contributing the level of backing vocals that WARLORD compositions require. WARLORD's latest album, "The Holy Empire", came out last year. The effort was made available on CD and digitally via Sons Of A Dream Music/Battle Hymns Music. "The Holy Empire" was engineered and mastered by the multi-Grammy Award winner Phil Magnotti (FATES WARNING, OVERKILL, ARCH/MATHEOS, OSI).
