My site is http://www.FindStuff2Read.com
The site loads, then the screen goes white save a black smiley (that should be disabled) in the upper left corner.
I have seen similar problems elsewhere, but none seem to have a final solution - at least not one where the problem still occurs when no plugins are running.
This problem started over a month ago, but at first it resolved itself quickly (reload). Then it came back and I deactivated most of my plugins and got it running again. Then it came back again, and I deactivated ALL plugins...
Right now, it only seems to be an issue in IE (I'm running version 9).
BUT... I have a sub-site and a mock-up where I was working out some reorganization and neither seem to be impacted - or at least not simultaneously with my site proper. One is running the previous version 3.7.1 (www.FindStuff2Read.com/3), the other is also 3.8 (lounge.findstuff2read.com).
I had this problem running suffusion theme, but I changed to mantra and am still having this problem. I am running a child theme.
I can't seem to find a common thread to what's causing it or stopping it.
I also loaded both the regular and the "3" version in Firefox (while the regular site wasn't loading in IE), got the source code, and checked for differences (http://validator.w3.org) and it said they were the same, but one would show up in IE and the other disappeared leaving only the smiley face on a white background.
I'm at a loss here, but it seems every other day when I go to work on something, the site just won't load and stay!

Still haven't found the details you're looking for? Check out our Product Q&A!
The idea for this curious precipitation collector all started thousands of years ago with the simple question: "Is all that glitters gold?"
Posed by Ancient Greek King, Hiero II, to resident smarty-pants, Archimedes of Syracuse, the answer would change the world of physics, forever. Archimedes was summoned to ensure that the king's solid gold crown contained no lesser metals. The laurel-shaped headdress puzzled the thinker, since he did not know how to measure the crown's volume without damaging it.
Later, when he took to his tub he noticed that the water level rose as he entered the water and it lowered back down when he lifted himself back out. He suddenly realized how he could measure the volume of crown. According to legend, he leapt from his tub and ran through the streets of Sicily nude shouting "Eureka!" (Greek for "I found it!")
Centuries later, the World's Coolest Rain Gauge turns Archimedes' fantastically fun principle of water displacement into a refreshingly original lawn or garden accent. As the water flows into the copper collection flue, the buoyant, foam tube sealed inside rises to show water accumulation. Attractive and informative, this nifty pluviometer makes your backyard a little more interesting. Made in New Paltz, New York.

Welcome to the Sales-Site of Solarwave-Yachts (Solarwave AG, Switzerland)
and Hyperion-Yachts (Sunwave Ltd., Malta).
We have launched this site to make you find us, the official distributor of Solarwave AG and Hyperion Yachts, well. Anyway you are very welcome to visit our official website
Solarwave and Hyperion-Yachts
Why Solarwave / Hyperion Solar Yachts?
Conventionally powered boats have a range of 300 to 500 nautical miles under diesel-engine. With a sail the range can be extended - if wind is coming from the right direction and in matching force.
We have developed a system that reduces the operation-hours of diesel-engines and thus the consumption to close to zero.
Our solar-system is more simple, needs less maintenance and costs less than any conventional fuel-depending propulsion and energy-supply. It grants more luxury, comfort, independence, relyability and safety. And it is proofed. It runs since 2009 on the
Solarwave 46
At the roof of the Sunwave / Hyperion yachts high efficiency solar-panels of the latest generation are recharging the light-weight lithium-batteries.
The special configuration of the components provides an unique energy-balance: Solar-panels produce more power than household and electric motors consume. So the batteries are beeing charged while driving the yacht!
Please visit us in
Cannes, Monaco and Düsseldorf
directly on board
History of HYPERION / SOLARWAVE
The worldwide first fully self-sufficient bluewater-catamaran
Solarwave offers a unique concept of an independent energy-supply. The first
Solarwave 46
started a rigorous 5 years sea-trial in January 2010. She crossed Europe by river (from Bonn to Istanbul), sailed the dangerous Black-Sea, the stormy Aegean and the Med. This experience of more than 140 weeks was also enjoyed by hundreds of guests and visiting journalists. The functionality and sea-capability of this yacht were fully scrutinised and passed with flying colours.
Solarwave accommodated 6 - 8 guests with electrically prepared full board, water-production, cooling and heating. And on top of that Solarwave was able to power the engines - every day in any weather-conditions. In storms of force 9 as well as in calm, with sun, rain, cloudy sky, snowfall and ice. All exclusively with solar-power. During this period of 5 years there was no need for maintenance or repairworks, neither the solar-plant nor the batteries or the electric-engine.
The generator, which has to be on board for safety-reasons, was working for 30 hours in five years - primarily to avoid becoming rusty .... during the same period of time the electric motors worked more than 2.500 hours ...without any maintenance, more than 12.000 miles in all conditions.
This is the proof for the suitability for everyday use of the "Solarwave-System". The "Solarwave-System" has been awarded with the "Energy-Globe-Award"

Serum vitamin B-12 concentrations are measured to assess the presence of its deficiency in patients presenting with haematolological, neurological, and neuropsychiatric abnormalities. Replacement therapy is instituted promptly, particularly to prevent irreversible neurological and cognitive dysfunction.
I present two cases with paradoxical vitamin B-12 results, which highlight the fallacies of the serum vitamin B-12 assay and emphasise the importance of taking into account the overall clinical picture before prejudging the significance of the vitamin B-12 assay result.
A 59 year old white woman was seen urgently for assessment of a macrocytic anaemia. She had normal serum B-12 concentrations, confirmed on three occasions. She complained of progressively increasing lethargy, palpitations, and buzzing in the ears over about three months. She had a good, well balanced diet and was not a vegetarian. Apart from thyroxine, she was taking no regular medication. She said her father had had pernicious anaemia. On clinical examination the only clinically significant findings were a mild glossitis and pallor. A full blood count showed a substantial macrocytic anaemia and a mild reduction of the white cell count (figure). The blood film showed mild oval macrocytosis, occasional nucleated red cells, and some hypersegmented neutrophils. An urgent bone marrow examination showed megaloblastic haemopoiesis.
The most likely diagnosis, in the face of normal serum vitamin B-12 concentration, would have been a myelodysplastic syndrome needing urgent blood transfusion and further haematology assessment. However, in view of her history of thyroid disease and family history of pernicious anaemia, an underlying functional vitamin B-12 deficiency could not be entirely discounted. A blood sample for autoantibody screen, anti-intrinsic factor antibody, and serum homocysteine and methylmalonic acid were taken and she was started immediately on replacement vitamin B-12 therapy pending these results.
She had a prompt response, with her full blood count returning to normal within eight weeks of therapy (haemoglobin 126 g/l; mean cell volume 87.5 fl) without the need for blood transfusion. The results of serum homocysteine and methylmalonic acid were substantially raised and consistent with functional vitamin B-12 deficiency. The anti-intrinsic factor antibody was positive, confirming the diagnosis of pernicious anaemia. Cytogenetic analysis of her bone marrow was normal.
A 60 year old white woman with β thalassaemia trait had her serum vitamin B-12 concentration checked as she mentioned that she was a vegan. She had no symptoms of note and gave a history of avoiding meat and milk products for the past eight years. She had no family history of pernicious anaemia or other autoimmune conditions. She was not taking any medications. Her serum vitamin B-12 concentration was markedly reduced (figure)—confirmed on three occasions—with a haemoglobin concentration at the lower end of the normal range, consistent with her thalassaemia trait. On examination, there were no clinical features of note. Her anti-intrinsic factor antibody was negative and her serum ferritin concentration was within normal limits. Conventionally, she would have been given a course of vitamin B-12 injections immediately, and subsequently a Schilling test (or equivalent vitamin B-12 absorption study) would have been performed. In view of her general wellbeing, a bone marrow examination was done to evaluate any effect on erythropoiesis as a marker for functional vitamin B-12 deficiency. The bone marrow showed normal erythropoiesis, her plasma homocysteine was normal, and her methylmalonic acid was raised sufficiently to indicate possible subclinical deficiency.1
The diagnosis of vitamin B-12 deficiency has always been problematic owing to the unavailability of a robust assay.2 Normal concentrations of vitamin B-12 have been reported in patients with overt deficiency,3 and the type of assay used may be relevant.4 We use the Access Immunoassay System (Beckman Coulter) which has shown a coefficient of variation of 6-10% under the United Kingdom National External Quality Assessment Scheme in the recent past. This implies that the results obtained in the cases presented are qualitatively and quantitatively in defined categories of "normal" in case 1 and "deficient" in case 2.
Case 1 highlights the dangers of a "false normal" vitamin B-12 result. The existence of a large "grey area" for vitamin B-12 assays with regard to interpreting deficiency is well recognised. However, the repeated (three) results showing vitamin B-12 values in the upper part of the normal range in this patient is unusual. There may be unique analytical reasons in this patient (for example, heterophil antibodies), although this remains speculative. Despite a normal result, a diagnosis of vitamin B-12 deficiency was considered possible, and so treatment started straightaway. The more "logical" diagnosis—of myelodysplasia—would have led to her having a much more aggressive and potentially detrimental therapy combining chemotherapy and bone marrow transplantation.
In case 2, the vitamin B-12 concentration was particularly low despite the absence of clinical symptoms and normal bone marrow appearances. Possibly the patient is developing vitamin B-12 deficiency.5
Last year about 8500 serum vitamin B-12 assays from primary and secondary care were done in our haematology laboratory, which serves a population of 200 000. The number of assays is increasing annually by an average of 9%. Testing may be done as part of an assessment of anaemia, which may be mild,6 or as part of a screening process to assess neuropsychiatric symptoms.7 Testing for these disorders is increasing as a result of an increasingly older population. Of the vitamin B-12 tests done in our laboratory, 8% were in the "deficient" range (< 107 pmol/l), 10% were in the "intermediate range" (107-132 pmol/l), and 42% were in the "normal" range (132-227 pmol/l). It is difficult to know how many of these may have true B-12 deficiency or functional B-12 deficiency despite normal B-12 levels, particularly if other coincident medical problems such as bleeding and liver or renal disease are present.
It is difficult to know how many patients worldwide are diagnosed with myelodysplasia influenced by the presence of a normal serum vitamin B-12 concentration. Use of serum homocysteine and methylmalonic acid concentrations have been reported to help in identifying elderly patients with vitamin B-12 deficiency in a screening situation8,9 and to demonstrate biochemical benefit in such patients given vitamin B-12 treatment empirically.10 However, a recent study of patients in an ambulatory setting also raised the question of whether homocysteine and methylmalonic acid were as reliable as generally believed.11 Measurement of holotranscobalamin II, another recent marker for functional vitamin B-12 concentrations, is claimed to be more sensitive than methylmalonic acid12 but its clinical utility is open to question.13
Ultimately, meticulous clinical assessment— including assessment of other autoimmune conditions and taking a family history—is important, given that a single ideal test is still not available. Testing for anti-intrinsic factor antibody, despite a normal serum vitamin B-12 concentration, can be particularly useful when underlying pernicious anaemia is strongly suspected, as in case 1. However, a reduced serum vitamin B-12 concentration associated with a negative anti-intrinsic factor antibody, as in case 2, may not help in arriving at a diagnosis as only half of patients with pernicious anaemia are positive for this. Empirical treatment, to assess any clinical response and to prevent neurological damage, may be pragmatically justifiable as the dangers of treatment are not as devastating as those of not treating.
The clinical picture is of utmost importance when interpreting a vitamin B-12 assay result
I thank the staff at the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff, who carried out methylmalonic acid and homocysteine assays in the two patients described, and Gareth Davies for taking photographs of the bone marrow.

From PMW (Palestinian Media Watch):
Ma'an removes Antisemitic article
following PMW's exposure
Ma'an's administration wrote that it removed the article "because it contains incorrect information and hateful content that are unjustified and which do not in any way represent the opinion of Ma'an or its editorial policies." (See full statement below.)
Among others, the Antisemitic article included the following statements:
"[The Jews] feel inferior to the nations and societies in which they live, because of the hostility and evil rising in their hearts towards others and for their plots and schemes against the nations who know with certainty that the Jews are the root of conflict in the world, wherever they reside."
"[Jews are] outcasts in every corner of the earth, and not one nation in the world respects them... but Allah's curse upon them and his fury at them cause them to continue with their transgression."
"Allah has stricken fear in their hearts and decreed humiliation and degradation upon them until Judgment Day." (see full article below.)Ma'an removed the article and posted its retraction in Arabic three hours after PMW's exposure.
Ma'an News Agency is part of Ma'an Network which partners with the European Commission (the EU), UNDP, UNESCO, the Government of Denmark, the Government of the Netherlands, and UKaid.
The following is the complete retraction on Ma'an's Arabic website:
"'Israel is Trembling!' - This item has been deleted"
by: The Administration
"This article has been removed.
It was written by one of the [news] agency's readers, Sawsan Najib Abd Al-Halim, and not by one of Ma'an's journalists, writers or editors.
[The article has been removed] because it contains incorrect information and hateful content that are unjustified and which do not in any way represent the opinion of Ma'an or its editorial policies. It was published during the war against Gaza (i.e., in response to Hamas rockets, Israel's Operation Pillar of Defense targeted the terror infrastructure in the Gaza Strip), and [Ma'an's] staff was unable to examine it thoroughly because of the workload caused by the war. [The article] was published in the articles' section intended for [submissions by] readers.
However, Ma'an will re-examine the policy of publishing readers' articles to avoid the occurrence of similar mistakes."
[Ma'an News Agency's website,
posted Jan. 30, 2013, accessed Jan. 30, 2013]The following is the Antisemitic article that Ma'an published and then removed:

The Charge of the Light Brigade
by Alfred, Lord Tennyson
The Guns
Symbol Analysis
Guns and cannon are a key image for the enemy, for the threat of death. Tennyson doesn't waste much time telling us why this fight is happening, or who's attacking who. Maybe his readers at the time already knew the story, but for folks today the details are pretty sketchy. There is one mention of the "Cossack and Russian" soldiers, but mostly all we hear about is this big scary wall of guns.
- Line 6: Here the guns are just an idea, a destination for the Brigade. They symbolize the challenge of war, the call to heroic deeds, the threat of the enemy. It's also just seems like a crazy idea, to charge a bunch of horses toward a wall of guns.
- Lines 18-20: Now the guns (here he calls them "cannon") are very real and very deadly. At the beginning of the charge, the Brigade was headed toward the guns, but now they are completely surrounded by them. They are a totally faceless enemy, just a threat from every side. We don't know yet who's behind them or why.

About MeMy name is David Serrano and I own/operate the Coolie High Clothing Company.
Before this entrepreneurship I was a freelance shirt designer, worked with a lot of great people including models. Now I have my own clothing company that I'm trying to get off the ground. Coolie High Clothing is about incorporating Native American, Tattoos, and Day of the Dead. We want to do justice to these cultures and more, and with that we decided to make jaw-dropping shirts. We are more than just a run-of-the-mill shirt brand. Within each of our shirt designs there is a story, and the stories take the shirts to new heights. We have provided continuity for the brand, to get people involved in what we are about.
We are hoping to find talented male and female models of sizes S-XL preferably with tattoos but it's not a requirement.

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- The ex-wife of a well-known Augusta attorney has pleaded guilty.
Caroline Neal admitted to one count of giving alcohol to someone under 21. This is a misdemeanor and carries a sentence of one year of probation.
Neal must also pay more than $300 in fines and surcharges.
She was sentenced as a first offender, which means she has the chance of getting her record cleared, if she finishes her sentence.

You're laying in bed.
You know what you have to do today, but you don't have the courage to do it.
You have to go to the bank. You have to pay your hydro bill. You have to buy a Christmas present for your mentally retarded cousin. You can knock it all out in an afternoon. But the first step is getting out of bed, and you're not ready for that yet.
It's noon and you're still exhausted. You've been staying up late because you're afraid of mornings. You're incapable of the most basic tasks. You're stressed because you're falling behind. You're angry at yourself for being weak, then you're angry at yourself for being angry at yourself.
Weeks go by. Clients get angry. Leads go cold. You cancel plans with friends. Opportunities pass you by. You open Word documents and write about how you're going to get back on track. You start a dozen new tasks every day, and finish none of them. You start planning out new projects so you can avoid working on what you actually need to do.
You're smart enough to know that to fix yourself, you need to change your mindset, so you start reading books and blogs that usually get you fired up, like Danger and Play, James Altucher, and Bold and Determined. Somehow it seems hollow, like these guys just don't understand how hard it is to mail a cheque and buy a stuffed animal.
You put on a mask and hide the ennui from people close to you, out of shame, but also because you want to be a leader. You want to be a source of strength to others. You don't want to bring them down.
Sometimes you forget to eat for a day. Sometimes you eat too much. You waste time on Reddit and Twitter. You jerk off. You watch entire seasons of garbage TV shows.
It's December, so you go to a dozen parties. You have fun. You think: maybe things are turning around. Then you realize that all the times you've felt good over the past month have involved binge drinking and drugs, and that scares you.
You thought you had purged all the fragility from your psyche. Turns out you were wrong. You recognize that you're going through a rough patch, but you're still in denial. You start writing a blog post. As you write, you realize that you're in much worse shape than you thought. You look back at your behaviour over the past two months, and you understand what you need to do.
You need to ask for help
You talk to your father, your sister, and your best friend. You tell them there is nothing to worry about, but you want them to know you're going through a rough time, and you need their help to maintain good habits and a positive attitude. You tell them that you're scared. You don't know what you're doing with your life. You're having a hard time bouncing back from failure.
After talking to people you love, you feel better. You realize that you've been burning a lot of your energy pretending to be happy. You stop pretending.
You're still afraid. You're afraid of failure, and not living up to your potential. You're afraid of being alone. You're afraid that you don't know what to do in your career and life. But at least these are real problems, with real solutions.
You get back to basics
Slowly, you work your way back into the light. The world starts to come back into focus. You're not out of the woods yet. But you're on a path.
You go on a three-day juice fast. You shock your system back into good healthy habits. You immediately feel lighter, clearer, and happier.
You start waking up early. You hit the gym every morning, heavy and hard. You look better, stand taller, and feel invigorated by the blood flow and testosterone boost.
You stop wasting time. You block garbage websites, stop watching TV, and limit your personal email and social media to one hour per day.
You clean your apartment and make it a happier environment. You buy more plants. Keep your curtains open. Start making your bed in the morning. You realize there is someone toxic you need to cut out of your life, and do what needs to be done.
You make a plan to get your life back on track. You were in denial. You accept that your twenties were a series of false starts that didn't work out the way you'd hoped. You accept the fact that you're almost thirty, and you're not even close to where you had wanted to be. You forgive yourself.
You realize that maybe, for some stupid and reckless reason, you wanted to be in this situation. You wanted to fail. You wanted the opportunity to build yourself back up from nothing, so you took too many risks.
You make a checklist of good habits and stick it on your bedroom wall:
- Wake up at 6:30 AM
- Tidy apartment and make bed
- Gym and/or yoga session
- Dress sharp
- Sit down and start work at 9:00 AM
- Juice for lunch
- Finish work at 5:00 PM
- Do something every evening that is fun, social, and enriches your life.
- Write in your journal
- Meditate for ten minutes
- Plan out the following day
- Go to bed at 11:00 PM
Every day, you check off each item and congratulate yourself on these small victories. You're not perfect. But you're getting better.
You start to regain control over your world. You return calls. You pay your bills and get your finances in order. You stop spending time with people who bring you down. You set goals and make a plan for 2015.
You block off all the negative, distracting, soul-poisoning influences in your life. You spend your down time with Danger and Play Fitness Podcasts, Elliot Hulse, inspiring movies, and quality documentaries.
You do little things that have always brought you joy. You read great books. Play with your dog. Spend time with friends. Listen to happy music.
You still don't feel good. But at least your actions are good:
- You're not bouncing out of bed, eager to start the day. But you are getting out of bed.
- You're not strutting into the gym like a beast, excited to crush some personal records. But you are in the gym.
- You're not working at full capacity, building your business, finding new clients, and doing great work. But you are moving forward on projects and meeting deadlines.
- You're not happy. But you are doing things that you know will make you happy, if you have the will to keep doing them.
You write this post over the course of several weeks. You're tempted to wait until you're back to 100% before posting it, so you can give it a nice happy ending. But that would be cheating.
What Is Depression?
Let's not get too dramatic.
What I'm going through is pretty mild. Almost every man reading this will have a similar low point, probably more than once.
Some people suffer from random, crippling, severe depression that results from maladaptive neurochemical imbalances. Some people suffer from severe PTSD. This is 'real' Depression.
But most cases of depression are related to external factors. Depression is an adaptive response that encourages us to slow down and re-orient our lives.
I didn't just go to sleep one night and wake up sad; the last two months of 2014 were genuinely hard on me. I lost a lot of money. I let my health suffer. I worked long, hard, stressful hours. I was betrayed by someone close. I'm scared of getting older. Whatever the cause, I ended the year feeling pessimistic, lethargic, and alone.
How To Cure Depression
Some people will react negatively to any suggestion that they can control their mental health.
Their theory is that Depression:
- is a disease over which you have no control
- strikes innocent people randomly, and
- there is nothing you can do to prevent or manage it.
I think this perspective is harmful. It allows people to make up stories to absolve them of responsibility. They take the easy way out.
Yes, depression and anxiety are random – to an extent. But they are treatable. Rather than give up and accept mental illness as part of your identity, why not try to build a new identity based on the strength and force of will necessary to overcome it? I think the first step to overcoming depression – or anything else – is to start viewing it as within your locus of control.
This is the approach that has worked for me. I haven't discovered a 'cure' for depression. I think that's an unrealistic goal. All I can say is that I've stopped being self-destructive. I'm not brimming with joy every minute of the day, but I am waking up at dawn and doing what I need to do.
You can't always control how you feel, but you can control how you behave. I haven't completely cured myself of depression. But I have successfully cured myself of behaving like a depressed person.
Here are the habits that helped me get back on track. Try them for yourself, and see if they work for you:
1) Free writing
Open up a journal and just start writing. Write about what you think is causing you stress. Write about how you're going to solve those problems. Once you're done, keep writing whatever comes into your mind. Don't stop and think. Eventually you'll get to your real issues. Do this every day, for at least one full page. In a week, you'll realize that you've been lying to yourself. About what? I don't know. And neither do you. So start writing.
2) Good habits
You might feel silly using a checklist to make sure you eat breakfast and make your bed every day, but when you're not capable of winning the big victories, you need to shoot for the little ones:
- Wake up early
- Exercise
- Eat healthy
- Work
- Relax
Don't get too ambitious and try to create a daily routine of sixteen straight hours of life-enriching productivity. If you were capable of that, you wouldn't be reading this article. Start with modest goals and add more as you make progress.
The most important item on this list is waking up early. If you're out of bed and lifting weights at 6:00 AM every day, you can't be screwing up your life too badly. There is also evidence that a sleep fast can cure depression. If you commit to waking up early, you will almost certainly subject yourself to a few sleep fasts as your body adjusts to the new schedule.
3) Tell the truth
Most of my fear was tied up in hiding, so I made a rule: No more lying. No more false confidence.
Lying takes energy. When you stop lying, you have more energy to work on yourself.
Lying also makes it easier to lie to yourself. Before I started being honest, I had two separate stories. One was for the rest of the world ("I'm great! Never better!") and the other was my own private internal monologue ("Boo-hoo, poor me, blah blah").
Both of these stories were lies. I was lying to the rest of the world about feeling great, and it was emotionally exhausting trying to pretend that I was.
More importantly though, things aren't nearly as bad as my inner monologue made them out to be. True, life isn't going exactly according to plan. But I'm still an incredibly fortunate person by any reasonable standard.
Once I committed to honesty, I was planning to admit to friends and family that my life was in shambles. But when I tried to tell people, I couldn't figure out how to explain it.
Gradually I realized: If I can't explain it, maybe it isn't true. Maybe things really aren't that bad. I've had a few rough months, and I have to work hard to get back on track. But ultimately things are going to be OK.
4) Exercise
Regular exercise will make everything better. It's a cliche for a reason. Building lean muscle will make you more energetic, more confident, and happier.
Lifting weights will also naturally increase your testosterone, which will improve your mood.
5) Juice
Placebo? Coincidence? Maybe. But for me at least, the major inflection point in my mood and optimism was a three-day juice fast.
There is plenty of evidence supporting the health benefits of intermittent fasting, and consuming lots of vegetables.
There's evidence that a diet made of of fruits, vegetables and protein can prevent depression. Also see: Diet and Depression.
A juice fast also created a memorable psychological boundary between two shitty months, and the future. It created a narratively compelling scene break in the story of my life. Why does this matter? The human brain understands the world through stories and narrative. If you want to change your circumstances, you have to give yourself a narratively compelling reason to do so..
To summarize: lift weights, eat healthy, be honest, wake up early, and keep a journal. These are good habits whether you are depressed or not, and they have been clinically proven to treat depression. You don't have to cure yourself entirely. Just start acting like someone who has.
Will This Work For You?
I don't know.
I'm good so far. But this is all new to me, and my story is still being written.
All I can say is this: The habits and thought processes in this post have helped me. If you're depressed, and your current plan is to wait (and medicate) until you feel better, maybe it's time to try a new plan:
- Wake up at dawn
- Lift heavy weights
- Drink fresh juice
- Keep a journal
- Be honest with yourself and others
That's it. Try it for a week and let us know how it goes. You can start your new habit of honesty by writing about your situation in the comments below.

The First Family is making the most of it in Ireland.
While President Obama hung out at the G8 summit in Northern Ireland, Michelle Obama on Monday took Malia, 14, and Sasha, 11, to Dublin for a presentation at Trinity College about the First Children's genealogy.
The Obama girls are descended from Irish immigrants through their dad's maternal relatives in Kansas. Their father's great-great-great grandfather was a shoemaker in Moneygall, a village between Dublin and Limerick.
London's Daily Mail said the girls were "less than enthralled" during the visit, which included a peek at the Book of Kells, a famous, 1,200-year-old illuminated manuscript containing the four Gospels of the New Testament.

Be ready: Cardiac events can strike anyone, anytime
Know the signs of cardiac arrest and stroke and swiftly treat those symptoms
Editor's Note:
Editor's note: Chief Adam K. Thiel urges us all to recognize and quickly treat the symptoms of heart attack and stroke in ourselves and others, because these events can strike anyone at any time.
It's great to see a positive outcome to this story and I'm sure you'll all join me in thanking Firefighter (and police officer and Iraq War veteran) Darhower for his service to our nation, as well as wishing him a complete recovery and return to duty.
I've written several times in the past about the importance of recognizing the signs and symptoms, in ourselves and others, of a potential heart attack, stroke or other medical condition. This is easy to say, of course, but in my experience it's not always easy to practice. Generally speaking, we firefighters don't always make the best patients.
The real lesson in this story is that cardiac-related emergencies can strike at any age, and often without warning. We don't generally associate this type of event with younger responders (whatever that means). But we know it can happen to folks who are in good condition, and even after a clean physical examination.
The key again is to learn about, recognize and swiftly treat the signs and symptoms — every time. If it's nothing, so much the better. But if it's something, you might just save a life.
Stay safe!

- Samuel Howard Sr's Profile
- Family Tree & Genealogy Tools
The folllowing article is from the KY EXPLORER (genealogy magazine) writt en by Mrs. Naomi Howard Spillman, 12446 Grindley Dr. Sterling Height s, MI 48312
Samuel Howard Sr. was born in 1762 in Buckingham Co.VA. He was enlist ed in 1778 in Capt. Mayo Carrington's company. He marched from Woodson's F erry on the James River in Buckingham Co. VA where he joined the army und er General George Washington in 1778 He was at Yorktown standing just a f ew feet away when Cornwallis surrendered to Washington. Washington took Co rnwallis' sword, looked at it closely and gave it back to Cornwallis sayi ng "It's a very fine blade". (This tidbit of history has been passed do wn through the Howard family) Samuel moved to KY in 1796, four years after KY was changed from a coun ty of VA into the state of KY. He was the first white settler to come to Harlan Co.,KY where he was acti ve in many community affairs. He applied for his Revolutionary pensi on in Harlan Co.,KY in 1834 at the age of 72. He died 12-5-1840. and was buried at the Highbanks Cemetery on the Hensley farm near Cumberla nd, KY.( It is interesting to note here that Samuel Howard killed John Hen sley and tried and set free!)

We purchased this rug and a matching companion rug about 2 years ago and I'm so pleased with it's looks and durability. The colors and pattern are rich-looking, and it still looks new, even with 2 large dogs. The larger of the 2 pieces is in our great room where we spend most of our time and the smaller is in the breakfast room, also heavily traveled. Great value!
Used on stairway to second floor. Thick and soft. Overall good satsfaction except for background color.
I loved this color/design when looking at several websites. I was so impressed, I almost ordered several of these for my home, up until I found a review like your hopefully reading. The writer warned the Gold was much darker than the picture, so I took the advice and ordered a sample. Good thing. When we received it, it was more Brown than it appears in the pictures. Always pre-order a sample. You be glad to give up [$] and not have the hassel to return it.

Skip to comments.The Side Effects of Witnessing Murder (Terri Schindler Schiavo) (by Cheryl Ford RN)
Posted on 04/20/2005 11:25:41 PM PDT by FairOpinion
Three weeks will soon have passed since Terri Schindler-Schiavo was forced to die an inhumane and tragic death. Thousands who were against Terri's killing claim they find themselves awake at all hours of the night trying to come to terms with what happened to Terri. Many state they are suffering from overwhelming depression, frustration, and feelings of powerlessness. Others find themselves struggling to understand how America stood by and allowed Terri to be publicly murdered and not receive judicial or police protection.
Only a few short weeks ago, we witnessed thousands upon thousands of people from all over the world rise in protest to the heinous crime involving the murder of Terri Schindler-Schiavo. During the long 14 day period, as Terri laid suffering from starvation and dehydration, members of the US Congress gathered in a weekend forum to vote on a bipartisan bill that would assure Terri's constitutional rights. The bill was aimed at saving her life. The President of the United States who was preparing for Easter with his family, was urgently flown from his vacation ranch home in Texas to the White House to sign a bill that was passed in a 203 to 58 vote. So, why now are we faced with feeling the unsettling side effects of Terri's murder? Why do many seek answers to questions such as: How does a nation justify, publicly watching the death of an innocent disabled woman while no one was capable of stopping her murder?
When trying to find any sense of understanding or acceptance regarding Terri's murder, we must discuss some aspects surrounding the topics of death. Death, as we all know, is defined as: "A permanent cessation of all vital functions." Due to its permanency, we find death very disturbing under any circumstance. Death creates a destabilization of our existence, knowing there is no turning back. Normally, we experience death when it results from illness, unexpected trauma, or old-age. We are seldom, if ever, confronted with the unique emotions associated with murder happening in our family. When we hear about a murder we usually find ourselves gasping at the crime as it makes headline news. The loss of human life is final and emotionally traumatizing on any society. Any way we wish to view it, the intentional infliction of death on a human being, will always be defined as murder. Our country bases its philosophy on the value of "preservation of all life," thus, creating its laws to say, under no circumstances should anyone take the life of an innocent human being. We ask then, why was Terri allowed to be murdered as the world stood by and watched?
Once we are subjected to loss of life, we naturally emerge into what is known as the grieving process. Grief as we know it, has limitless boundaries. Often when we are forced to grieve, we flail aimlessly and timelessly into what appears to be an open abyss. Dr. Elisabeth Kubler Ross describes in her book "Death and Dying," the 5 stages of grief as: Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance. In order to move through the grieving process, we must at some point encounter the 5 stages of grief. Many will vacillate between the phases of grief for an undetermined period of time.
We also know there are thousands of people who routinely struggle with the controversial issues surrounding the death penalty. It is not unusual, or unreasonable for people to find difficulty digesting the legal liberties that are given to man when they are authorized to inflict the finalities of death upon any human being. Be the death penalty right or wrong, those who struggle with it can often find some sense of rationale and acceptance in knowing that those on death row were convicted and tried for a crime which brought forth their death sentence. However, what happens to the thousands who are reaching for that same sense of understanding and acceptance when grieving for Terri's publicly inhumane murder? Terri, was not a criminal and never hurt anyone. She was not tried, or convicted of any crime. She was not terminally ill, or unhealthy. She was not taken off to the hidden ominous fields where victims are murdered by their unknown killers. Despite all, we had a nation that was forced to watched Terri's tragic and unnecessary death, making it difficult, if not impossible, to transition into the grieving phases of acceptance.
We recognize that Terri was not any more special to her parents, than any other child is to their parents who love them. It is a given that she will be just as missed by her family, as others tend to miss their family members when they die. However, once again, as we seek some rationalization and acceptance in dealing with Terri's death, like we do in the normal grieving process of others, we find ourselves reaching an emotionally unsettling and angry set of emotions to deal with. Perhaps,it is due to the disturbing visions of a Mother publicly pleading for the life of her daughter; a daughter who would not be dead if it weren't for an estranged spouse who intentionally starved and dehydrated her, to her death. These visions leave the sane population very distraught. We again find ourselves asking, how do we move into the acceptance phase of grief after watching an innocent member of our society be murdered and denied the right to receive help? We knew, and will remember Terri as the innocent woman who through her means of natural communications waited patiently each day for her loving and very dedicated family to visit her so she could smile and laugh with them. We knew how her biological family had struggled for years to be capable of providing her with the therapy and help that we all naturally reach for when we are hurting, or injured. We shall always recall the look of love and warmth on the faces of Terri and her Mother as they embraced each other. Was the love and unity of the Schindler family so wrong a bond that we had to remove one of its members?
For Terri, sadly, the help that we normally would have expected to come her way, never did arrive. Where does this leave the thousands of civilized people who are now in shock, remembering the agonizing expressions on Mary's face as she pleaded for someone, anyone, to help rescue her daughter? How do we as a nation cope with Terri's unnecessary and brutal murder; a murder that we not only heard about over and over again though out every media source, but were also forced to watch as it appeared on national television for 14 long days? How do we justify the murder of a woman who was healthy and did not have to die, yet, we did nothing to stop it? When did America begin denying a family the right to care for one of its members? Who will be next?
I personally refuse to accept the notion that we have become a barbaric society living amongst many others like George Felos, Michael Schiavo, George Greer, and Deborah Bushnell. The four people who comfortably watched Terri slowly have the life sucked out of her, and then later rationalized Terri's death as merciful. Terri's death cannot be defined as anything but cold, callous, inhumane, unnecessary, wrong, and against all the laws that our country was founded upon. Laws that still read, MURDER is illegal! Assuming the majority of our world still believes murder is wrong, we must ask ourselves what can we do to prevent Terri's situation from happening to another individual? How can we seek justice for Terri and see to it that the four people who are responsible for the 14 days of her inhumane killing are brought to legal justice? We must also ask ourselves, is it more reasonable to suggest that the thousands who supported Terri, who were appalled and against her death, the emotionally unstable religious zealots that George Felos suggested they were? Or, is it more reasonable to say that rather it was Terri's estranged spouse, his euthanasia attorneys, and the judge in Pinellas County, who are the emotionally unstable death zealots who need to be convicted for their criminal actions?
More importantly, as a civilized society, we must question, are we going to challenge the inhumane laws that killed Terri, or, are we willing to allow her death to be in vain and chalk it up to becoming the new season preview for Reality Guardianship Murders? I do believe that it is vitally important for every person who grieves Terri's tragic death to have these questions answered, all in an effort to enter into the Acceptance phase of grief.
Terri's death cannot be defined as anything but cold, callous, inhumane, unnecessary, wrong, and against all the laws that our country was founded upon. Laws that still read, MURDER is illegal! Assuming the majority of our world still believes murder is wrong, we must ask ourselves what can we do to prevent Terri's situation from happening to another individual? How can we seek justice for Terri and see to it that the four people who are responsible for the 14 days of her inhumane killing are brought to legal justice? "
We must not forget -- there has to be an investigation, which starts with the circumstances leading up to Terri's collapse in the first place, and examining all of Judge Greer's rulings and his his tangled web of relationships with Felos and euthanesia groups, and to make sure that this will never happen to anyone again.
Terri PING
The complete lack of regard for human life in this situation leaves me speechless.....
... Terri's spirit will always haunt those of us who know it was wrong...
Thanks for posting this article. I am one of the thousands who finds themselves lying awake at night, still thinking about Terri and asking myself how is it possible, how did they get away with murdering a young woman by denying her food and water. I lie there and cannot go back to sleep, and I am an Australian, not an American. I cannot imagine how the US will come to terms with this evil deed.
Just as bad as the lying awake wondering how this could happen is how the media and politicians are already re-writing history to make us believe that it never happened.
Now, they want us to believe that this was all some political game, only the right-wing politicians sided with the wacko religious fanatics to pass an absurd bill to "take away" Terri's "right" to die, etc.
We don't know how to mourn or right an unjustice, because suddenly the MSM and the political opposition tells us one more time that we are wrong or imagining things. You would believe that only a handful of fanatical Congressmen passed the Act, instead of the overwhelming majority that actually did.
That's why we have to come here to see, hear and know that we are not crazy, and that history has not been erased.
Thank you for reminding me that there are many others that have NOT forgotten and are sickened by her murder!
The power of the MSM would appear to be almost total. I have no idea what to suggest, aside from maybe supporting Ron Panzer of the Hospice Patients Alliance. You should find this of interest:
One thing I can say for certain, that were something like this to happen In Australia (which I really cannot imagine) a Royal Commission enquiry would be immediately called for.
I think the whole world was following the Terri tragedy.
Italian Court Rules Woman's Feeding Tube Must Stay
Italy's Supreme Court on Wednesday rejected a man's appeal to remove a feeding tube keeping his daughter alive, weeks after a bitter row over brain-damaged Terri Schiavo divided the United States.
It said a decision to remove the tube required "valuations of life and death that are rooted in concepts of an ethical or religious nature, which are extrajudicial," and said that the issue was also outside the powers of Englaro's father.
Some of doctors looking after the 35-year-old Englaro at a hospital in Lecco, a lakeside town in Northern Italy, have said she reacts to stimulus. Her father Beppino Englaro believes his daughter would want to die.
However, the Supreme Court ruled that since there was no specific evidence of the woman's views on life and death, it was impossible to say that her father's opinion reflected her own.
"I cannot imagine how the US will come to terms with this evil deed."
It is hard to imagine, how this could have happened here.
"Given the gutless legislators in this country. Just exactly how is that going to happen?"
Therein lies the problem
DeLay is the only one with some guts and look at what attacks he has to contend with.
"One thing I can say for certain, that were something like this to happen In Australia (which I really cannot imagine) a Royal Commission enquiry would be immediately called for"
Oh, we had the usual inquiry, but we got the usual answer to all the question: "Nothing to see here folks, let's move it along."
I think about it every day and pray that God has mercy on our nation, because of the faithful still in it.
Re: Your tag line.
"The band Played Waltzing Matilda" - Eric Bogle
Shiavo and Greer were so intent on killing Terri that I don't think a living will would have saved her unless it had very specifically stated that a feeding tube was not to be removed under any circumstance.
There is a big difference between allowing someone to die, and killing someone.
Terri was NOT terminal.
I'm sure about Greer but obviously her husband wanted her dead. Not knowing the man persoanlly I will take him at his word that this is what Terri wanted.
I know that many here believe he did it for the money or that she was in her condition because of something he did. But from all that I have read there is no proof to either one of those accusations.
Maybe Australia's government still works, and the Royal Commission would actually step up and do a real investigation.
Ours should be headed by U.S. Attorney General Gonzales. There have been so many allegations of politcal collusion and an ingrained system in Florida where justice was impossible for Terri to receive. That would give the Federal Government the right to review the case since Florida can't police itself. Gov Bush could ask Florida's Atty General to investigate, but he is part of the web in this case.
Congress has suggested convening a Congressional Committee, but who knows. They are already getting spooked by the Dems pointing fingers and saying the whole thing was a political angle to get the GOP more votes. (Anyway, our Congressional Committees usually end up finding out LESS than what is printed in the MSM and FAR LESS than one can find on blogs.)
We have a few good private justice centers that pursue investigations like this. We have to turn to a private organization to solve our government's inability to function.
Sad, isn't it?
I don't know why they wanted her dead. But that they deliberately desired to starve and dehydrate her to death is the plain truth of the matter.
I don't think anyone denies this truth.
I just came across this Jan 2004 article.
Apparently murder of helpless people has been going on for some time, without public awareness.
A Duty to Die?
EXCERPT -- but read the whole thing. It's enlightening and fightening.
It has led many hospitals to adopt whats known as futile care or futility policies those that determine the circumstances under which patients may be denied costly life-saving or -sustaining treatments.
When someone is deemed to fall into the futile category, family members often find hospitals pressuring them for permission to end the patients life and sometimes taking them to court if they refuse. In other cases, said Nancy Valko, president of Missouri Nurses for Life and one of the trends most vocal critics, nurses are being ordered to remove feeding tubes or withhold antibiotics because the patient is going to die anyway, so it might as well be now.
A poll of 26 California hospitals taken by Cambridge Quarterly of Healthcare Ethics in 2000 showed that all but two already had adopted futility policies; of those, 19 gave the final decision-making power over a persons life or death to someone other than the patient or a family member.
In November 2002, the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania announced that intensive care will no longer be given to patients in persistent vegetative or minimally conscious states; only patients who explicitly request intensive care before receiving a catastrophic brain injury will receive it.
In January 2003, the Cedar Falls Courier chronicled how hospitals in Des Moines, Iowa, had put rules in place to allow medical staff to withdraw treatment over a familys objection.
This makes people with disabilities very nervous. I havent been able to get all the physical therapy that would have been beneficial to me because it wont cure me. And if it doesnt cure you, insurance companies often say you cant have it.
In futile care, theyre taking that a step further, but the message is very familiar to people with disabilities. Its not news to us that health professionals judge our quality of life to be far less than how we judge it ourselves. The view that our lives are futile is frightening, no matter who holds it.
To help understand the magnitude of the abortion slaughter, I converted the 1.5 million/year into equivalent TWA800 tragedies....There would have to be a TWA800 tragedy every 90 minutes around the clock every day of the year!
Exactly! If just ONE MAJOR NEWS outlet would treat that the same way that several treated the killed soldiers in Iraq, the country would be HORRIFIED. (Remember, Nightline and one of the Sunday talk shows read each name slowly at the end of their programs, showed pictures, etc. It made the number of dead seem enormous, although one day of your TWA-type abortion breaking news stories would dwarf that.)
It happens all the time. Nothing uncommon here.
Is it right? That's the question.
I would think most here would say that it is not right. Same as abortion. How we go about changing our culture?
Former President Nixon would have never had needed to resign if Peter Rodino had had the same lack of backbone exhibited by our Congress when Judge Greer, with full contempt of Congress, simply ignored their subpoenas and acted to obstruct their legitimate investigative function.
I don't know how legitimate it was seeing they did nothing about his obstruction.
She could have had her refusal tatooed across her forehead, and it still would not have made a difference.
Look what happened to Mae Magouirk. She COULD communicate. Her living will said do NOT take away a feeding tube. But she was old so her life didn't matter anymore, until her brother and sister got involved, and online news sources and bloggers started making noise.
It's the tragedy of someone's LIFE, as well as the injustice and the feeling of helplessness.
Doctors are routinely ending the lives of babies now in the Netherlands, rather than waiting to see if they can pull through. (Because, of course, the doctors are true psychic geniuses and truly know what will happen in the future. That is why all doctors in Terri's case ALL AGREED on every diagnosis.) [/sarcasm off]
What would have happened 10 years ago if doctors had decided that AIDS patients would die anyway, so you might as well not waste medicine, pain killers and hospital beds on them? Would everyone have agreed that that was fine?
If you can remove life support or a feeding tube, what about one moment before that? or one minute before that minute? So, you don't give them the initial life support hook-up if you decide that they will be too disabled? or if they will take too long to recover? or if it will cost too much?
I fear the truth is, that we have changed as a nation, and are so selfish and self centered, we won't respond to our neighbors in trouble. It's too easy to just let it happen, and too hard to change anything. I still only have 1 vote, and my whole family, friends, and church, votes the same as me, and it won't seem to change. We have 90% of America as red states, red counties, red cities, but still no changes. I'm reminded how bad it would be if we turned blue, but I want to take ground, not just hold what we have. Something has to change for the better or what they say is true, "There isn't a dimes worth of difference".
The ability of Michael Schiavo to proceed through this with no scrutiny was appalling! Why was there never any investigation into her innjuries, especially when the reports indicated 'healing bone' injuries? 26 yr. old women don't have healing bone injuries from a fall to the floor, even if she did have a mild heart attack, which was ruled out, if you recall. It seesm that the husband really wanted the diagnosis of heart attack to prevent further examination...and when it was ruled out, why did no one proceed to examine further? This is an outrage!
Get over it. You'll die one day too, hopefully more quickly than Terri.
You have hit on an important issue. If life is not considered a supreme value and the ultimate reference point of the medical profession, we have essentially undermined the entire reason for being of medicine. Why bother to cure or seek cures for any serious disease or injury? Death is cheaper, speedier, and more certain; the patient may not always live when medical efforts are made to help him, but he will certainly die when the medical profession decides that this is the preferred course of "treatment." And think of all the money that has been saved.
I heard many medical professionals call into the talk shows during the Terri Schiavo ordeal who were for her being dehydrated to death.
Ouch. That's about the level of understanding a good percentage of the American public has for this issue.
I know. It's very frightening, because the Schiavo case let many of them feel free to reveal their true thoughts (and possibly even practices).
What is wrong with the politicians in this country that they are impotent in the face of tin-horn, backwater judges and courts (that includes most of them in my book) when one of these judges blatantly exhibits CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS AND THE CONTEMPT AND DEFIANCE OF BOTH THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES AND CONGRESS? The intent of both were crystal clear, but the tin-horn Greer was above them all. Why?
It appears to even the casual observer that Greer seemed to always rule in favor of Mikey. If so, why so?
I think she couldn't communicate. She was incapacititated. But she was not in a coma and she was not in a PVS. Mae's living will recites that if she is in a coma or PVS, that food and water are to be withheld. I think that is NOT what Mae wanted however. The "form" Living Will that Mae signed is confusing, and many people who tick off the "including food and water" selection believe that the are asking to have food and water if they are comatose or PVS. But ticking off "including food and water" has the legal effect, when reading the entire document, of withholding food and water.
One error of the LaGrange hospital and hospice was based on the fact that Mae was not comatose or PVS. Another error was accepting Gaddy's representation that she had medical power of attorney. But there was no error associated with the Living Will because its terms don't become operable until Mae is in a coma, or is PVS.
Thanks for the post. Great article. It's the same battle that has been going on for thousands of years...the innocent vs. the criminal, the individual vs. the collective.
I had an extremely unsettling dream last night. I had been invited to a party. In the midst of the gathering was Terri Schiavo...not well, but recouperarting. She could speak haltingly and said she was so grateful for the chance to begin to get better and how very much she was looking forward to her future, given that she was still so young. Would this constitute a nightmare?
When you "get over" what the Nazis did during World War II and can brush that under the carpet with a shrug and an impatient wave, we'll get over the cold blooded brutal murder of Terri Schindler...deal?
Not to mention all the police who protected them, and the governor who respected them.
No doubt. Medical professionals aren't immune to the siren songs of the culture of death. Once they get a taste for killing, they find it difficult to stop. Just look at what is happening now in the Netherlands.
There needs to be some measure passed in this country that allows doctors to be healers but not killers. Being both leads down a dangerous path.
