Note: this post was revised a bit on Friday, because I didn't think I made my point clearly enough in the version I posted on Thursday.
Stockholm Syndrome?
I think most people are vaguely familiar with the term Stockholm Syndrome, as the name of a bizarre psychological phenomenon in which a hostage begins to identify with his or her captors. (It's also called capture-bonding, which is a straightforward term; the less-straightforward term Stockholm Syndrome refers to a 1973 bank robbery in that Swedish city, in which bank employees, after several days spent as hostages, sided with their captors against their rescuers.)
There is more speculation than knowledge about what causes Stockholm Syndrome, but it seems to be part of a larger pattern in the way the human mind adapts to intolerable trauma, and protects itself, by re-imagining the source of the trauma as appealing rather than menacing. (It might be part of the same mechanism which causes many people to be sexually aroused -- in fantasy -- by things which would frighten and disgust them in the real world.) The most popular evolutionary speculation about Stockholm syndrome is that, in pre-historic human societies, being captured by a rival tribe and forcibly incorporated into it was a common enough experience for human females that some kind of adaptation for it was needed. (Sounds like pure guesswork to me, but the bottom line seems to be: people sometimes deal with a situation that's forced on them by telling themselves they love it.)
Contrary to popular belief, Stockholm syndrome is not seen only in people kidnapped by criminals and terrorists. It is fairly common in people who are caught in abusive relationships. Perhaps some people find it more painful to wonder "why is he hitting me?" than to think "he's hitting me for my own good, and anyway I was kind of asking for it -- I shouldn't have given him that look". People who feel trapped in a situation sometimes fear they will go mad if they admit to themselves how bad the situation is -- so they don't admit to themselves how bad the situation is.
I tend to apply the term Stockholm Syndrome to any situation where someone seems to be a happy captive -- including those situations where being surrounded by members of an institution or an industry makes someone want to identify with that institution or industry, and see the world through its eyes. When we hear about government officials being "captured" by the industry which they are allegedly regulating, I think of that as a kind of Stockholm Syndrome. When the U.S. military "embeds" a journalist within a platoon, so that the journalist identifies with the platoon and therefore refrains from criticizing anything it does, I think of that as a kind of Stockholm Syndrome. When people within an industry only see reality through the filter of that industry's interests, I think of that as a kind of Stockholm Syndrome. When people in a profession don't look beyond their own professional concerns, I see that as a kind of Stockholm Syndrome. Our tendency to embrace, with apparent enthusiasm, whatever restrictive conditions we find ourselves in may be "natural", but it's a bit of a problem. It doesn't tend to promote a good objective understanding of the world.
No doubt I am sometimes unfair about this, suspecting more dishonesty or a delusion in a situation than is actually present, but I tend to think that suspicion is a pretty good starting point when you're evaluating health claims. (Why do they believe this, and why do they want me to believe it?)
I offer all this as an explanation of why I was so suspicious of the news coming out of -- wait for it! -- Stockholm this week. Here is Medscape explaining the aftermath of a presentation at a recent medical conference in that city: "Experts in diabetes and cardiology are both excited and admittedly somewhat perplexed by the results of the EMPA-REG OUTCOME study reported at the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) 2015 Meeting last week and published simultaneously in the New England Journal of Medicine. Hailed as historic, the findings were presented to a packed hall in Stockholm, where audible gasps and spontaneous applause erupted each time Silvio Inzucchi, MD, of Yale Diabetes Center, New Haven, Connecticut, showed a slide demonstrating how the survival curves for the high-risk type 2 diabetes patients taking empagliflozin (Jardiance, Lilly/Boehringer Ingelheim) diverged from those on placebo over the course of the 3-year trial, with the effect starting very early, at 3 months."
Audible gasps and spontaneous applause? We're talking about the Stockholm EASD meeting, right? Not Burning Man?
What caused the gasps was a set of graphs illustrating a comparison between the health outcomes of diabetes patients treated with an SGLT-2 inhibitor called empagliflozin and a placebo. (SGLT-2 inhibitors are those drugs which interfere with normal kidney function in such a way as to cause glucose in the bloodstream to leak out in the urine, thus reducing the concentration of it in the blood.) Consistently, the patients given empagliflozin fared better in terms of cardiovascular death, death in general, and heart failure than patients given a fake pill containing no medication:
The final graph combines all risks together; the divergence may be smaller overall than one might expect, but that is partly because a larger scale is used on the X-axis, compressing the range of variation:
The reason this consistent, though perhaps not terribly dramatic, difference between the tested diabetes drug and a placebo produced "audible gasps" is that other diabetes drugs usually produce no measurable divergence (in terms of cardiovascular risk) between people taking the drug and people not taking it.
It might sound as if I'm making this up --it makes no sense, after all -- but cardiovascular disease is the most significant and dangerous "complication" of diabetes, and yet most diabetes drugs don't seem to do anything to protect us from it. Apparently empagliflozin does do something to protect us from it. It doesn't eliminate cardiovascular events, but it reduces the risk of them, and no other diabetes drug has done even that much. (Some diabetes drugs even seem to make the cardiovascular risk worse.)
But now doctors have to start asking some challenging questions:
- Does this risk-lowering effect of empagliflozin apply to all SGLT-2 inhibitors as a class of drugs? (Maybe, but nobody's sure; it could be specific to empagliflozin.)
- Does the effect apply to all diabetes patients, or only the type of patients included in the study, who were already thought to be at risk for a cardio events? (Nobody knows.)
- Are there any conditions for which the drug was found to increase risk rather than reduce it? (Yes -- it seems to increase the risk of a non-fatal stroke, for reasons unknown. Also, because it operates by eliminating glucose from the body by way of the urinary tract, it promotes local infections there.)
- How, exactly, does the drug reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease? (Nobody knows for sure, but it's likely that the drug's diuretic effect also results in reduced blood pressure, and this helps prevent cardiovascular problems.)
Whether any of this is truly gasp-worthy is hard to say. I would like to see a head-to-head competition between empagliflozin and exercise, to see which one of the two has a greater impact on glycemic control, blood pressure, and cardiovascular risk. I'm inclined to think that exercise has done more for me, in those regards, than empagliflozin would have done -- and so far exercise has not given me a urinary tract infection. (I've never had one of those, but the reports I hear about them don't make me want to expand my personal knowledge of that problem.)
The gasping physicians in Stockholm were probably impressed to such a remarkable degree because they were encountering something unfamiliar: encouraging data about a diabetes therapy which actually made patients less likely to die. They were used to seeing data which showed that a diabetes therapy had the effect of making the patient's final lab report before dying look better than it would otherwise have done. A diabetes therapy that went beyond improving the posthumous lab report, and actually made people live longer, seemed almost like a miracle to them. However, might it have seemed less miraculous to them, if they had ever looked at anything other than studies comparing one drug to another (or to nothing?) The narrowness of their focus on pharmaceuticals has made it hard for them to consider other possibilities.
To call their bedazzlement by the new data 'Stockholm Syndrome' is probably going too far. Still, I can't help feel that empagliflozin is exciting doctors and researchers in a way which it wouldn't if they'd had a chance to compare it with running or cycling.
However, if this drug is destined to become the standard drug therapy for diabetes, I'm glad to hear that it looks like an improvement on the other available drugs. Whether it's an improvement on exercise is a question for another day.

Diabetes, hemoglobin A1c, and risk
A lot of people hate quantitative thinking, and this is especially true when health and safety are under discussion. They don't want to hear any numbers. They don't want to be told about proportions or probabilities or "risk factors". They don't want to hear about what the odds favor or don't favor. They just want to be told, in absolute terms, whether a particular mode of travel is "safe" or "unsafe", and whether a particular food is "good for you" or "bad for you", and whether having a particular fasting blood glucose result means you're "fine" or "about to die".
There are two big problems with this way of looking at things. First, we live in a universe governed by the laws of physics, and that means everything that happens to us is all about proportions and probabilities rather than absolutes. If you try to leave numbers out of it, you will misunderstand pretty much every phenomenon of the real world that is ever going to have an impact on you.
The second problem is that trying to leave numbers out of your understanding of the world sets you up to be taken advantage of by advertisers and crooks (we will assume those are separate categories) who know how easy it is to put one over on non-quantitative thinkers. Countless diabetes patients, having heard that whole-wheat bread has more fiber than white bread, and therefore has less glycemic impact, jump to the conclusion that the difference is large (it's not!) and that they don't have to worry about the glycemic impact of bread in a meal so long as it's whole-wheat bread (utterly untrue!).
In addition to making you a sucker for misleading health claims, non-quantitative thinking also sets you up for needless health scares: plenty of people with diabetes get terribly depressed about health problems they assume they will suffer (and cannot prevent) because they haven't taken a realistic look at the probabilities.
Lately I have been seeing scary-looking health headlines about diabetes patients having high rates of dementia. I haven't been inclined to read these things, because I didn't think they would be a source of good cheer, and because I'm already used to be being told that virtually everything that can go wrong with a human body is more likely to happen if you have diabetes, and finally because I feel that I'm already doing whatever can be done to address the issue. But I suspect a lot of diabetes patients who've heard about this issue react by getting depressed, because they think it means everyone who has diabetes will also develop dementia, and there's nothing we can do about it.
Curiosity finally got the better of me when I heard that a large Swedish study uncovered some hopeful indications that the dementia problem among diabetes patients might be preventable.
The researchers looked at a large number (nearly 400,000) of patients with Type 2 diabetes who were in the Swedish National Diabetes Registry, and sorted them into categories to see which factors caused a large increase in their risk of developing dementia.
The various categorizations were each analyzed to find the dementia "hazard ratio" for being in that category. The hazard ratio is a multiplier which increases or decreases the usual average risk of developing dementia. A hazard ratio of "1" means normal risk. A hazard ratio of "2" would mean twice the normal risk (that is, the risk went up by 100%). A hazard ration of "1.5" would mean the risk went up 50%. A hazard ratio of "0.5" would mean the risk was 50% below normal risk.
All sorts of random variations can seem to show a small difference in risk in a comparative study of this kind. However a large difference is a lot more likely to be significant. I would be concerned about any factor which seemed to show more than a 25% increase in risk -- that is, a hazard ratio of 1.25.
In this study, only a few factors showed a that large an increase in risk. I've highlighted those factors here:
The worst risk factor (not too surprisingly) was having had a stroke in the past; the hazard ratio there was a whopping 7.69, meaning that a patient who'd had at least one stroke was 7.69 times as likely as the average patient to develop dementia. The other significant factors increasing dementia risk were macroalbuminuria (leakage of protein into the urine -- an indicator of kidney disease) and elevated hemoglobin A1c results.
But wait a minute! The hazard ratio associated with elevated A1c depended very heavily on how elevated the patient's A1c result was. Let's take a closeup view of the A1c categories:
Patients with an A1c of 10.5% or higher had a risk factor of 2.36 (more than double the normal risk of dementia), but the risk factor was only 1.20 for patients with an A1c of 7.5 to 8.5%, and for patients with an A1c below 7.5% there was no increase in dementia risk (there was even a tiny decrease in it, though that is probably just meaningless random variation in the stats).
So, diabetes can set you up for dementia, but only if it's very poorly controlled. Well-controlled diabetes doesn't seem to have any significant impact on your dementia risk.
If you shun quantitative thinking, you might make the depressing assumption that merely being diabetic means you have dementia in your future. If you embrace quantitative thinking, you may be able to take some comfort in looking at the probabilities and finding that, for you, the risk is low. Or, if you find that the risk for you is high, you at least know what needs to happen to make the risk low. Bring your A1c down and you bring the risk down with it. Dementia may be unusually common among diabetes patients, but it's a preventable problem, not an inescapable fate.
Health headlines to ponder
And it's about time, too!
I'm willing to bet it has turned up in odder places than a French lab.
Who saw that coming? But, now that that's settled, maybe the researchers should see if they can find any link between wife-beating and wife-beater undershirts! (And they just might be able find out by interviewing the same set of people.)

Heat wave!
Most Americans think of the Labor Day holiday (which we celebrated on Monday) as marking the end of summer. Maybe so, but here in California we're having a heat wave, with triple-digit temperatures all week (that means 38 degrees and up, for those of you living in nations which the march of science has reached). The local soil is being baked into terra-cotta.
Exercising outdoors is a bit of a challenge under the circumstances, especially as my main opportunity to do it these days is at lunchtime. I ran today -- on the shadiest route available to me -- and afterwards I just lived with the fact that, even following a cold shower, I was sweating heavily for half an hour after I got dressed. (I had a meeting this afternoon with my boss's boss, and I made sure to schedule the encounter late enough that I would be dry by the time I had to go into his office.)
I live in a woodsy neighborhood, with a lot of shade, so most of the year I have absolutely no need for air-conditioning. Which is good, because I don't have air-conditioning. Usually there are no more than two weeks in a year when I'm wishing I did have some equipment to chill the air for me -- but this is one of those weeks.
It's funny how a heat wave can affect your mental attitude toward everything. "No, no, no -- it's too hot for that!" becomes your reaction to a particular food, drink, color of shirt, or type of music. (I'm currently listening to Ravel's piano music -- which I have regarded for many years as cooling music for reasons I cannot begin to explain.)
Another thing the heat can affect is concentration. I don't think I have enough attention span to write one of my lengthy essays tonight. So, I'll just write some short commentaries on whatever health news relevant to diabetes has come my way lately. With any luck, I'll remain conscious long enough to finish this and upload it, even though I am wilting and shriveling pretty fast.
Gestational diabetes affects fathers?
Bear with me, this is a little weird. It is well known that women who develop "gestational diabetes" (a temporary diabetic condition occurring during pregnancy and ending after delivery) have a very high risk of developing ordinary Type 2 diabetes later on. One wouldn't expect this to have any influence on the father's risk of becoming diabetic, yet it apparently does. At least, that is what some researchers are reporting, based on an analysis of data from Quebec. "We observed that the incident of diabetes was 33% greater in men whose partner has gestational diabetes compared with men whose partners did not have gestational diabetes."
Okay, so what's going on here?
Gestational diabetes appears to be Type 2 diabetes, manifesting itself ahead of schedule (in young women who would have developed it anyway, later in life) because the physical stress or physical changes occurring during pregnancy overstrain the endocrine system. The women who develop gestational diabetes are probably women with a genetic predisposition to Type 2 diabetes; if they'd had no children, they wouldn't have got a preview of what nature had in store for them after their child-bearing years.
How could this have any impact on their husbands, though? Here it's important to remember that Type 2 diabetes has both a genetic component and a lifestyle component. Perhaps couples tend to share the same eating habits and exercise habits, or at least closely enough for their shared lifestyle to have a measurable impact on their health risks.
Because the fathers would not have the same genetic factors as their wives, we wouldn't expect them to have the same risk of becoming diabetic, and they don't. Having a wife with gestational diabetes only ups your Type 2 risk by 33% -- but being a wife with gestational diabetes ups it by 700%! The impact of living with someone who is destined to develop Type 2 later on has a comparatively modest impact, but it does have enough of an impact for researchers to be able to measure it.
I hasten to add that this doesn't mean the genetic component of diabetes risk is huge and the lifestyle component is small. It's doubtful that the fathers in the study ate exactly what their waves ate and got exactly the amount of exercise that their wives did. The similarity of their lifestyles might not have been very close. But it was close enough to make a difference to the outcome.
Bariatric surgery for diabetes -- how successful?
Bariatric surgery (that is, weight-loss surgery) has been shown to have a dramatic impact on Type 2 diabetes patients; many become non-diabetic shortly after surgery. But how long does this effect last?
For a while there was no way to know, because bariatric surgery is a recent innovation. However, there are now a fair number of diabetes patients around who had the surgery years ago. A new study from London (a mighty small study, but perhaps meaningful nevertheless) has found that bariatric surgery works better than "conventional" treatment (that is, drugs galore) at the five-year mark. Specifically, 50% of patients were non-diabetic five years after surgery, compared to 0% of patients after five years of pharmaceuticals.
Okay, I guess I'm supposed to be impressed. Most of the world probably is impressed. But I'm still non-diabetic after fourteen years of neither drugs nor surgery, so I'm not exactly overawed by learning that the surgical operation has an awesome 50% success rate -- even if that is pretty good compared to what the drugstore-cowboy approach achieves. And my approach is a lot cheaper than either of those (provided you ignore the high cost of exercise clothing, anyway!).
Half the population is either diabetic or getting there
An analysis of statistics from 2011-2012 shows that about half the US population has diabetes or pre-diabetes (that's 12-14% for diabetes, and 37-38% for pre-diabetes). Some have called this "a glimmer of hope" because the recent trend toward an increase in diabetes prevalence seems to be leveling off. Maybe it won't get much worse than this.
The distinction between diabetes and pre-diabetes is largely a legal fiction: it matters to the bean-counters at your health insurance company, but it doesn't have a great deal of impact on reality. It would be more honest if we described "pre-diabetes" as "Type 2 diabetes that hasn't got very far out of control yet".
I guess the good news here -- the silver lining that I always look for -- is that people who feel "isolated" by being diabetic are not as isolated as they think. Being diabetic doesn't really give you a minority status anymore. Half the country is in the same boat. Maybe this will eventually lead to people making up their minds to deal with the problem a little more effectively than we have been so far.
Grinding down fiber is not a good thing
Whatever else might be causing the increase in Type 2 diabetes prevalence during modern times, it has long been suspected that excessive "refinement" of grains has something to do with it. Milling of wheat to produce fine, powdery flour has resulted in tiny, easily-digested starch particles becoming a big part of the human diet.
A new study finds that the "bioaccessiblity" of starch (that is, the ease and rapidity with which the digestive process can extract glucose from a high-carb food) is strongly affected by the fine milling of grains. Compared to coarsely ground grains, the powdered variety cause a sharper glucose spike (and a more exaggerated insulin response, along with other undesirable physiological effects). This difference in the body's response to smaller starch-particles suggest that they represent a risk factor for Type 2 diabetes.
Grittier grains might be a good bet for people trying to avoid becoming diabetic.
For people who already are diabetic, coarser grains aren't necessarily good -- they're just less problematic than fine white flour.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: don't be too ready to jump on the "whole grain" bandwagon, and assume that any high-carb food is okay for you so long as it says "whole wheat" on the label, or something similar. Often these things are only a tiny bit better than the alternative; let your glucose meter, not an advertising claim, tell you whether or not a particular kind of bread won't spike you too much.

Uh-oh... it's getting to be that time of year...
As sunset times get earlier and earlier (7:38 PM today -- when it was exactly an hour later, just one month ago!), it is becoming impractical to continue my evening trail-runs at the state park. I can't get there early enough to be sure I'll still have some daylight left at the end. I went for a hike there yesterday after work, and found that, even early in the hike, I was catching only the last of the day's sunshine.
Of course, I'm all for twilight in a general way -- running at sunset has a special atmosphere to it, and it's a relief to be running as the air is starting to cool off.
However! If you're going to go for a long run, you want to feel confident that you're not going to be stumbling around in the dark during the final mile.
The terrain is too rough for that to be safe. Clearly, trail-running is going to be a weekend-only thing until next summer.
Of course, one of the advantages of exercising outdoors is that it puts you in touch with nature's cycles in a way that nothing else does.
By the way: I'm not against science!
Because I am so often critical of the questionable ways in which health research is conducted and financed (and selectively cited as a justification for policy decisions actually motivated by something else)... because of all that, it might look as if I'm an opponent of medical science. Or, if that is putting it too strongly, it might look as if I am seeking some alternative version of medical science, something which sounds kind of "sciency" but accepts unverified claims. Something which welcomes traditional wisdom, and maybe even alternative ways of knowing. Well, forget that! I don't think there are any alternative ways of knowing.
There are alternative ways of guessing, certainly. But the only way to find out if a guess is worth anything is to test it rigorously against reality and see how well it fits. There is nothing "alternative" about that process; that is quite simply science. If you want to know how something in nature actually works, science is the only game in town. The alternative ways of knowing are strictly for people who would prefer to accept someone's untested guess about how nature works.
Because science is about testing guesses, and because the testing process is far more important than the guessing process, even a guess made for silly reasons sometimes turns out to be right. Practitioners of traditional medicine from China to the Amazon have spent years treating people with various substances for various medical conditions; it would be surprising if they never found anything that actually helped. But that doesn't mean all the medicines they use actually help (or that a traditional medicine which alleviates one condition also alleviates the other conditions it is prescribed for).
Anybody can make a guess, and some guesses are lucky, but only science can sort out the lucky guesses from the unlucky ones. Guesses that haven't been put through the sorting process are called "alternative". Hence the riddle: what do you call alternative medicine that has been shown to be effective? (Answer: medicine.)
Not everyone wants to see guesses put to the test. Some people would prefer to accept whatever guess makes a good story, and would rather not risk the unpleasantness of discovering that a story they like was tested and it failed. They become uncomfortable with too much discussion of evidence; they ask others to be "open-minded", a quality which apparently boils down to a polite willingness to accept an unlikely story without checking it.
And yet: these people want it both ways. They want to see themselves as being reasonable and even scientific. Often they fall back on conspiracy theories: the apparent debunking of a claim wasn't legitimate; it was done by people who claimed to be skeptical scientists, but were actually working as hired goons for Big Pharma. True science, honest science (if it were allowed to be done at all) would support the claim!
No one is more concerned than I am by the way medical research is increasingly financed by those with a commercial stake in getting one result rather than another, but this problem manifests itself mainly in studies claiming to show that a new proprietary pharmaceutical reduces blood pressure, not in studies finding that some herb or other doesn't reduce blood pressure. The biggest problem created by the influence of drug-company money on medical research is a tendency to study the wrong issues and ask the wrong questions. Researchers are asking themselves how they can make the next billion-dollar drug, and seldom if ever asking themselves how they can help people be less dependent on drugs.
Science is only a process, of course, and its work is never done, so there are plenty of things science has not explained yet. It's difficult to get to the bottom of a scientific question -- especially one related to human health, if you're not going to raise people in cages and do dangerous experiments on them. So, yes, there are important gaps in medical science waiting to be filled. If you want to complain that "scientists don't know everything!", you're right -- scientists don't know everything. But the anti-science people don't know anything; given a choice between incomplete truth and complete fiction, I have to bet on the former. I'll be damned if I'm going to support the latest celebrity airhead trying to convince people that they shouldn't vaccinate their children because reasons.
I have certainly been known to criticize the way the health care industry uses iffy science to justify whatever they're planning to do. But the solution to that kind of problem is more and better science, not a retreat from science. A lot of people seem to think that we ought to chuck this "science" thing, and start over with something more appealing. I'm not on their side. I don't care how strongly they feel that we can cure diabetes by eating an ounce of chrysanthemum seeds every day. Feelings are not what this is about. Finding out what actually works is what this is about.
I just thought I should underline that point. Are we clear?
Smoking and diabetes
Who could possibly have guessed that smoking and diabetes in combination were more harmful than diabetes alone? And yet, that is what the latest study finds. Apparently smoking adds about 55% to the mortality risk of a diabetes patient.
Knock it off.

What this is about
I am going to use this space to report on my daily process of staying healthy -- what I'm doing, and what results I'm getting, and how I interpret the connection between the two.
I am not trying to taunt anybody, by reporting better results than they are getting themselves. I'm doing this to provide encouragement, not irritation.
Regardless of what your own health situation is now, you can probably pick up some useful ideas by tracking what I'm doing, and seeing what the results are. I don't mean that you should do whatever I do, or that imitating my behavior will get you the same results I get. We all have to figure out what works for us. Let's just say that I'm giving you an example of some things to try, and they might help. If they don't, try something else!
Extreme sports
One word of warning: I sometimes participate in endurance sporting events (including "century" bike rides and the occasional marathon), but please don't assume that you would have to participate in extreme sports to get the kind of results I'm getting. Most of the year I'm not working out nearly that hard, and I still get very good results. For some people, vigorous walking may be enough. (But if it isn't in your case, don't cling to the idea that it ought to be enough -- do whatever it takes to get good results!)

It has been quite a while since I have posted here. In fact just now I spent over an hour writing and lost the whole thing - it auto saves so I have no idea how this blogger dumbed it. I hit post and it just disappeared. I think that God thought less of what I wrote than I did... so starting afresh.
First, I wanted to share this prayer request that we received through facebook:
Michelle: I have been reading all about Jacob; I am so proud of him and everything your family has done, not just for him, but for others as well. I have also been trying to help Jessica Huse, she graduated from my son's school. Now I have a favor, Lauren Jones, from Rocklin, was injured in a sledding accident. She has a fractured skull, a broken leg and four bruised ribs. She's only 10 years old and still in ICU in Rocklin. Could we all please pray for her?
Her Caring Bridge site is:www.caringbridge.org/visit/sallyjones
To update you on Jacob.... he is where we longed for him to be while he was in a coma. He is with his friends as often as he can. He is driving his 1999 Volvo to meet them for pizza, to coffee shops to work on school on his laptop, to appointments and soon he will be back at work. And of course some day soon - back in the water. Can we please slow down a bit. This is tough on dad the most. I inherited my dads "I worry" gene. It is so great to be back to our normal 17-year old issues. Although I still hate these issues. :) Yes, so he is on track to graduate - two classes left and he will be done. He was also cleared by his doctor to return to work at Freeline. Jake still wears his splint on his thumb - I think it gives him more confidence and soon we will be increasing rehab on the thumb. We also down the line will be addressing hair and surgery to release tight skin grafts on his arm. But looking at Jake with his cap on his head - it is hard to tell he was jolted by a power line 10 months ago.
What is next for me? I accepted a temp job with the Census Bureau for the month of May. I did some work with them last year and though it is not my hearts desire - we need the money. Though I continue to "job search", God seems to be unfolding opportunities for me to do pastoral ministry. I am talking to churches and other ministries and follow this desire to be a chaplain in the community. I had a great meeting with two seasoned chaplains today as they helped me narrow my focus. I will update you next week as I know more.
We are also moving forward with a non-profit that will allow us to tell Jake's story and encourage others while we also practically raise money to help those in burn trauma. Conversations continue and plans are being made as God seems to be expanding opportunities. One of which is a friend that has gone through his own family trauma that has and great vision that speaks to my heart about a better way to provide an online community and communication format. An easy way to surround a family in midst of trauma and help meet their needs.
For those that still desire, we are keeping the Bank of the West account open. We are still in need of funds to meet our expenses and to help start the ministries that God seems to be opening up. You can find the bank information on the left side of the blog.
I read this last week. "Are you willing to be open to God's will for your life?" - Richard Sterns
So often I get in the way of what God is doing. But God is not giving up. He brings us through circumstances to shape us but also to prepare us for what is next.
"Christ has no body on earth but yours,
no hands but yours,
no feet but yours.
Yours are the eyes through which
Christ's compassion for the world is to look out,
yours are the feet with which he is to go about doing good
and yours are the hands with which he is to bless us now." - St. Teresa of Avila
God is less concerned about the form than about the heart. We see that in Jesus ministry. He reached out to the hurting, restored the wounded, loved those shunned - the unlovely. Jesus anger burned against those that used the form to define spirituality when the heart was rotten. We allow the form to separate us as we value appearance over all else. A person in trauma - wounded, desperate, scared - cares little about form. They cling to life, long for hope, seek a sliver of relief. In the midst of our day we make it rain or make the sun to shine simply by the position of our heart.
Still gripping hope...

The People Under The Stairs Reviews
November 6, 2015
A parable of underclass exploitation that ends in revolution and extreme -- even explosive -- wealth redistribution.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/4
August 25, 2015
Or The Script Under the Coffee Cup... As with most Craven images, this one suffers from lackluster performances, a clumsy screenplay, a campy tone, and a noticeable lack of suspense.
Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4
August 14, 2015
A wacky, darkly comic, and obscenely weird horror movie...
August 10, 2015
As a horror film and an allegory that is just as timely in the 21st century as it was in the early 1990s, "The People Under the Stairs" actually has something to say beyond its goal to frighten.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/4
July 6, 2010
The performances combine with Craven's witty script and energetic direction to make The People Under the Stairs a spooky, laugh-filled release most horror fans should get a kick out of.
Top Critic
March 26, 2009
A pretense of social responsibility and most of the necessary tension get lost in a combination of excessive gore and over-the-top perfs in The People Under the Stairs.
Top Critic
June 24, 2006
There are a few push-button frights, but a total dearth of mind-disturbing terror; the humour, too, is broad, crowd-pleasing stuff.
June 3, 2005
Perhaps the most staggeringly incompetent movie in the director's uneven canon.
Full Review | Original Score: D
October 28, 2004
A very uneven but interesting horror thriller with a social message that's somewhat lost in a script with some effective terror and less working humour and slapstick.
Top Critic
August 30, 2004
Though the new movie has its share of blood and gore, it is mostly creepy and, considering the bizarre circumstances, surprisingly funny.
Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5
June 8, 2004
Craven toils under the influence of Lynch and Raimi, but below the surface hyperactivity the results are the same.
Read More | Original Score: 2/5
August 24, 2003
A heady horror film (virtually a horror-movie fairy tale) punctuated with occasional outbursts of dark-humored slapstick and all centered on an angry socio-political theme.
Full Review | Original Score: 4.5/5
March 5, 2003
Goofy fun for fans of schlocky horror films.
| Original Score: 3/5
December 27, 2002
Very good Wes Craven thriller
| Original Score: 4/5
Top Critic
January 1, 2000
Craven has been directing downhill since his terror triptych of "Last House on the Left," "The Hills Have Eyes" and the original "Nightmare on Elm Street," so it's hardly surprising that he hits bottom with "The People Under the Stairs."
January 1, 2000
While The People Under the Stairs may leave some horror fans unsatisfied and other horror detractors repulsed, it ought to satisfy those viewers who appreciate a thoughtful and visceral movie entertainment.
January 1, 2000
"The People Under the Stairs" provides a few jolts here and there, but writer-director Wes Craven certainly doesn't let taste stand in the way of exploitation.
Top Critic
November 1, 1991
If there were truth in advertising, The People Under the Stairs would be called The Not Very Scary Movie Set Inside a Grungy, Badly Lit House.

The Avengers on the cover of Entertainment Weekly. I also discovered last night that the secret filming name for The Avengers is "group hug" and there's stacks of photos of them filming in New York and being adorable.
Went to see kittysorceress in Avenue Q tonight and it was totally awesome! Very impressive production, easily the best amateur production I've ever seen. Also, there was a guy in it who she said had a Darren-as-Blaine look, and not only was she right, but it's also a guy I know because he's a friend of my sister's! I freaked out a little.
Today I watched ( The Tale of Despereaux )

This weekend I cleaned out my basement. We are moving next month and I discovered that we still have a ton of boxes that we never went through when we moved about a year ago, so this weekend I went through the boxes. We threw out old CD cases, recycled my old CFP® class notes, and made a pile of stuff to donate. We also discovered a few items that may be of value to someone on eBay or Craigslist. It made me think about a few things:
- We have a lot of junk
- Other people have lots of junk in their basements, garage, attic and some rent storage spaces to keep all their junk
- Sell your junk and go through your storage space and use the money you were paying to rent the storage space to start your Roth IRA
Why So Much Stuff?
Americans have a lot of stuff (this girl included). We keep things we like because we can't part with them, but then it comes time to move and we pack things away in boxes and sometimes they stay in boxes in our basements for years. Then we have too many boxes in the basement so we need to rent a storage space for all our stuff. Well, now is the time to go through your boxes and sell your crap. There's even a course on Man vs. Debt called exactly that! They'll show you what to do. If you're looking for great a great blog about simplifying your life, I love Be More With Less.
What To Do Next
I'm willing to bet that you have at least a few hundred dollars probably $1,000 worth of stuff that you're not using and is just sitting around. Maybe you have an old collection from when you were a kid or furniture you no longer need. Why not sell these things and use the money to start your Roth IRA? If you are paying to rent a storage space, clean it out, sell items and use the monthly storage fee to invest in a monthly contribution to your Roth IRA. Also, if there are items that you don't want to sell and would rather donate to a qualified charity, you may be able to qualify for a valuable tax deduction. Take pictures of items before you donate them for ease at tax time. Use apps such as: iDonatedIt to make this process easier.
After going through this process, I promise you will feel amazing, and here's why:
- You will end up throwing away/recycling garbage bags full of clutter and that alone will make you feel better. Some surprises for us included a ton of magazines, paid bills from 2007, cords from random electronics we no longer own, and CDs from when we were in high school!
- You will find a few random things that you'd been looking for. We found: my red leather clutch, winter coats (seriously, we had no idea where they had gone), and Christmas ornaments from family members. These items can be organized so that you can find them next time.
- You will donate gently used items that you no longer need such as clothes, home décor, and random gifts from people that never use but feel bad throwing away. You know that your stuff will go to someone who will appreciate it more than you and you may even get a tax deduction.
- You will make money by selling your items on eBay or Craigslist. We have a few pieces of furniture that we are going to try to unload on Craigslist and a few collections we are going to try selling on eBay. Cha-ching!
- If you cleaned out a storage space, you will no longer have to pay a monthly fee to rent it, freeing up money in your monthly budget to put towards your Roth IRA.
Open a Roth IRA!
You have now freed up money to contribute towards a Roth IRA! The money in your Roth IRA grows tax-free and since you already paid taxes on it when you made the contributions, you don't pay taxes when you withdraw the money in retirement. You can open a Roth IRA at any discount brokerage firm such as: Schwab, Fidelity, or Scottrade and many will waive the minimum account balance if you set up a monthly contribution. If you save $200 a month for 40 years and earn an average of 7%, you could have over $500,000! Don't you think it's time to go through your junk?

Reviews for Tri-Sprintec to treat Acne
"I took this pill for 3 months, and I got acne after 6 days of the first pack. It never cleared up completely until after I stopped taking the pill. It would clear up a little during the placebo week. I've never had a problem with hormonal acne, and I broke out over my shoulders, and chin significantly. It was extremely embarrassing,"

"I started taking this for acne about 3 months ago and it works great for that. I'm 18 and I have a 32B almost 32C bra size and I've always hated it! this medicine made my boobs grow almost a whole cup size!!! Which made me completely miserable."

"For the past few years, five years to be exact, I have struggled with acne pretty badly. The beginning of this year (February) I decided to try and do something about it, I went to my nearby Planned Parenthood and got prescribed to Ortho Tri Cyclen. I went to my local pharmacy to pick up my pills only to see they had given me Tri Sprintec as it was moderately cheaper and "made of the same ingredients". I have not had many problems on this pill.. no weight gain, no cramps, no nausea... but my face... it got extremely worse. My entire right side of my cheek and my chin broke out in large patches of cystic acne.... only to have it clear up significantly during my placebo pill week... In fact I have heard many stories of the brand name/generic having extremely different affects on some people... so within the next few days I'm switching over to the brand name and hoping for the best."

"I've been on this pill for 3 months and 5 days and I want to die. My moderate acne has gotten worse. So bad that get big cystic pimples all over. I also have a bunch of white heads and my forehead is bumpy. My anger is out the roof and the first 2 months my boobs felt like they were going to fall off. I'm willing to stick it out to the 5th month but if not I will be getting off this pill"

"I always had acne around periods but after I had my son it got severe. So much so that it left scars from inflammation that would make one zit into a pea sized bump deep under my skin that was painful and caused anxiety, depression and so on. After seeing a Dermatoligist he prescribed a combo of 3 to combat it. The tri sprintec to regulate hormones, a light topical antibiotic lotion clyndomicin I think and a year of doxycycline antibiotics. It took time but after the antibiotics took care of the infection with this pill it seemed to prevent acne. My reason for thinking this is the only time it's gotten bad again is after running out and going a month without or an occasional pimple during the placebo week. Overall it helped a great deal..."

"I was on this pill for 4 months and half. I didn't finish the last month because I COULD NOT stand the way I was feeling anymore. I had constant mood swings and was irritated basically all the time. My acne got worse even after having been on the pill for 4 months already. I switched now to a progesterine-only pill because I was having terrible migraines as well."

"This bc nearly killed me. I had Terrible migraines once I started this Rx, ultimately was helicoptered to the nearest big city hospital and suffered a hemiplegic migraine, with stroke like symptoms.This bc is poison. I gave this a 1 rating because 0 was not an option. If you are taking tri sprintec, STOP. You don't even know the damage this is causing you, blood clots, strokes. Stop taking this bc now!!"

"I've been on Tri Sprintec for 8 months. I started taking it because my previous birth control, Aubra (aka Lutera, Alesse, many more), gave me cystic acne and oily skin for the first time in my life. Tri Sprintec has not helped me. I thought it would definitely get rid of the oily skin (it made it worse) and at least the small pimples (it gave me MORE all over my forehead). I have 5 more days of Tri Sprintec left and after that, I'm going to try to go off birth control altogether. I never had acne before I went on BC so we will see what happens. I also read that generic OTC makes acne worse, so maybe consider paying extra for brand name OTC if acne is your main concern. Good luck!"

"I'm 18 and have had pretty awful acne since I was 12. My doctor prescribed Tri-Sprintec mainly for the acne, but also for period regulation and birth control. In the 2 weeks I've been taking it, I haven't experienced any of the mood swings or breast tenderness/growth that others have. I've gained a few pounds, but I'm home from college and so eating poorly and not exercising, so I can't really blame that on the birth control. My acne has gotten 10 times worse since starting, with lots of breakouts on my forehead, chin, and around my mouth which used to be completely clear. As frustrating as it is, I'll stick with it for a few months and hope that my body adjusts and the acne clears up!"

"I started taking Tri-Sprintec to treat acne, and I just finished my first pack. My acne has always been moderate, but after a couple days of the pill, I had a HUGE flare, but then it went back down to normal after a week or so (Normal for me being 2-6 new zits every morning and every night). But, I know it will take 3-6 months for it to regulate my body, so I'll be patient and wait. I will comment and say that it did have a few negative side effects. I started to get headaches, later in the night. I'm very irritable, tired, and down. I gained a little weight, but nothing that bugs me that much. I'm not recommending against this pill as I've only been on it for a month, and everyone's body is different. Just be prepared and wait, they say."

"I have cystic acne which isn't awful but this pill made it a lot worse. I tried a lot of different acne products and treatments and none worked so I've tried 2 birth control pills to help, this being my second try. I followed my doctors advice to give it at least 6 months and it has only made my acne worse. It is redder, more painful, and a lot deeper than before, and it has spread all over my face and become splotchy. I also get a lot of fevers and awful cramps all throughout the month. I also use birth control pills to stop my periods. The first day I went on it I got my period (it was awful and lasted 14 days). Now I keep getting them so it's not working. Don't let my experience sway you too much but unfortunately it just dosen't work."

"I'm 22, I have very sensitive skin and stomach. I started this pill in September and it's now mid-December. The first month I had nausea, the second month I had various digestive issues (slightly worse than usual), and now in the 3rd full month, I am having breakouts. The nausea and the stomach issues have cleared up so I'm holding out for the acne to clear up. Meanwhile, my breasts have grown two inches! The side effects aren't so bad and the acne I have now isn't much worse than what I had before. Some people say they've experienced mood swings, depression, or change in sex drive but I haven't noticed that at all."

"AM I ABOUT TO TELL YOU ALL A STORY. IT ENDS AWFULY. SO I was on this pill for 5 years. My face was fine, no acne, no issues. No birth control issues. i got on the pill because of my doctor, he told me to have this because my period was not regular and I had had it for years, so he figured this would help. I finished that treatment, and upon turning 20 I stopped taking it. No biggie right? YEAH. HUGE BIGGIE. Within 4-6 months, I didnt get my period at all. Ok thats fine, many times thats normal. MY FACE. MY POOR FACE. MY FACE EXPLODED INTO CYSTIC ACNE. I wanna say that I had been treated by my dermatologist to not have acne as I had bad acne when I was a teenager. I had to go back to him because my acne went from normal to cystic severe."

"WORST BIRTH CONTROL EVER. After 3-4 months on this medication, I developed severe nausea, vomiting, mood swings, bad anxiety and depression. Every day I would wake up with the worst stomach cramps and was constantly constipated. Also felt so exhausted every day. I quit shortly after the symptoms came up and its been 3 months since I quit and I'm still struggling and not myself. Please do not take this. The only positives were it cleared up my face slightly and my breasts became bigger."

"Originally I was prescribed Ortho Tri Cyclen but due to insurance issues I was given Tri Sprintec. I know you're supposed to give things usually 2-3 months to work but let me tell you this pill has worked miracles! The first 3 weeks were terrible. I was breaking out even worse than I already was. I mean, I was getting acne right above my eyelids, underneath my eye, & just about everywhere else on my face. I was so nauseous for a couple days that I almost had to skip a wedding. But I am SO glad I stuck to this. My face has been the clearest it's been in a year. I'm still battling 1-2 zits but that's nothing compared to what it was. I am left with A LOT of dark spots but a few hydrafacial treatments should help with that."

"This birth control is the second brand i used and i love it in comparison to the other one (aubra) i used! aubra made my acne worse and gave me horrible mood swings. I honestly thought i was becoming another person. Switching to tri sprintec was a decision i do not regret. This medicine works like a charm! Cleared up ance, lessened my pms, and so far no mood swings! Gained no weight but make sure to exercise a normal amount a week and watch your diet while on this pill!"

"I've been taking tri-sprintec for 6 or 7 months. I started it with hopes of it getting rid of my moderate acne. I rarely got cystic acne, but my face ALWAYS had zits and I would break out around my period and even worse when I was stressed. Now I still have acne, but it isn't nearly as bad as it was before; I also don't notice much of a change in my skin when I get stressed. So it didn't exactly work how I hoped it would, but it IS helping some. The first month that I started tri-sprintec was pretty awful. I was nauseous for four weeks straight- from the time I woke up to the time I went to sleep. I've gained a little bit (5lbs) of weight and noticed that my breasts have grown (or are always swollen)."

"I started taking Tri-Sprintec because I developed horrible acne all over my face. Now, almost 2 years later, skin has improved dramatically. I don't get hormonal acne anymore around my mouth and on my chin. However, I STILL get acne, much less, but I still constantly have at least a few on my face. And if I stop using my acne cream, I break out all over. So, birth control helps, but it isn't the cure for my acne. But, the side effects are so horrible, that I've decided to quit. The side effects I am POSITIVE are from Tri-sprintec (through a process of elimination) include constant postnasal drip (phlegm, clearing throat, stuffy nose, plugged and popping ears), really bad sore throat, nausea (even a year later), stomach aches, and dry throat"

"I've had cystic acne since the beginning of college. I've been on Orthotricyclen Lo, Tri-Previfem (generic orthotricyclen), Beyaz, and now I'm currently on Tri-Sprintec. The orthotricyclen LO helped a little with my acne, but I still had a lot of breakouts. I was on it for around a year. I then switched to tri-previfem, which worked great for me (no side effects whatsoever) It helped regulate my period really well too. I was on it for around 2 and a half years and my acne started coming back. A different doctor switched me over to Beyaz since she said my body was used to the Tri-Previfem. I was on Beyaz for 7 months, but noticed many problems such as weight gain (I gained 8 lbs) and moodiness. I switched to Tri-Sprintec and works great."

"HORRIBLE!! I swear this ruined my relationship because it made me so crazy. The depression I experienced on this pill was unreal. I normally break out a little bit here and there on my cheeks and this pill made my skin absolutely AWFUL! my once totally clear and smooth forehead was covered in blackheads and cystic pimples. It also gave me cystic acne around my mouth and chin and some big red pustules on my cheeks. This pill literally ruined my life."

I'm have suffered from acne for 17 years, but I had not had any breakouts on my forehead for a long time until I got on this pill. I won't even talk about my chin because it's terrible. I really feel frustrated because I have spent thousands of dollars trying to find a solution for my chronic acne and I have not been successful. I've tried antibiotics, ointments, scrubs, etc... my last resource was this pill and it didn't work."

"I've been on this pill for 12 months, and I hate it. For the first 6 months I was super moody...I'm actually convinced it ruined my last relationship bc it made me nuts. But sadly I stayed on it because I was desperate for clear skin, and it pretty much gave me that. HOWEVER, beginning seven months, my poor face started to suffer. It's only gotten worse....the only reason now that I've stayed on it is because it's really regulated my period. But my skin is dead...cysts on my forehead (I've never broken out on my forehead), cysts all over my cheeks...jawline...occasionally nose and chin. It's really sad and takes an unfortunate emotional toll. I'm stopping tonight and won't go back on this pill again. Try Velivet, I've heard great things."
