Doing 'Well' when You are Chronically Ill
This chronic illness sufferer hits the nail on the head. This is life for so many of us, on our very best days sometimes even the hope of "what if" gets us into trouble. We may live with different conditions, but we face the same battles. I hope others are comforted reading this, being ensured they are not alone.
I hope you are "doing well."
My health has been doing relatively well lately. That is to say, I am not in an illness or pain flare currently. But what does that even mean for me and others with chronic health or pain conditions?
For me, it means I may feel "ok" as long as I am sitting and doing quiet non physical things. It also means that simple activities like sitting up from laying down, standing up, or walking from one room to another doesn't give me an asthma attack.
However even when my baseline health is slightly improved I still have to be careful. Just because I can walk slowly doesn't mean that cleaning sprees or even small organizational tasks won't cause me asthma attacks and pain flares. I know at this point that keeping a decent base line of health, that allows me any sort of quality of life requires I not push…

Chronic Illness and Surrender
Oh friends, life is such a journey…. faith is such a journey. And I must admit that I get very weary. Like ground down to a fine powder kind of weary.
It is easy to say that God is in control. I know some who revert to that message like it is their refrain between sentences. We continue to push and plan and overcome, and then get angry at Him when WE fail.
When I was diagnosed with chronic pain in 2004, I felt like my adult life was just getting rolling. I had big dreams, and I was determined to keep moving forward with my own plans.
My body was deteriorating quickly, however. I was taking so many medications, doing bizarre and worsening treatments as an attempt to keep up with family, home, work, college, church, small group, and any of my spare time I spent in a zombified pain daze on the couch.
No matter what walking aids I needed, no matter the sickening treatment, no matter what the doctors said about "progression," I WOULD NOT be diverted from achieving my original goals.
I was in control.
Though my body lashed back at me, I fought and squirmed and raged against it- to keep going on my path.
Surrender is a difficult topic or act for most of us to comprehend.
I have always struggled to relinquish control, so everything about the idea of surrender goes against my nature. I wonder if anyone else reading this can relate to the word perfectionist as much as I could?
Years ago, when I was having ketamine infusions to try to tame my RSD/CRPS pain, I would interfere with the nurse's vitals setup. In my mind I was helping, but to them I was only getting in the way, of course.
"Do you want to do this yourself?" a nurse once snapped at me.
Oops, I thought. But then…I knew my answer would have been, "yes."
Why? Why do I think I'm the one who will always be most effective at doing for myself, even when others have my very best interest in mind?
Then 6 years ago, after an experimental treatment they tried on me failed, I suddenly developed several comorbidities which have changed my life dramatically. My pain condition progressed far faster and worse than I ever imagined possible.
They say, don't let chronic illness take over your life. But when your life becomes about: Breathing. Eating. Drinking. There is no "let" only "become."
Illness can become your life if survival becomes your new goal.
There are some conditions you can't fight through. You endure them. They change your body, and you are forced to adapt. You hit your "wall" every time you open your eyes.
Surrender is the choice that my body made for me. It tells me I don't have another option but to bow to its wishes.
I lay here still and unspeaking, careful not to sway the already offset balance. But the moment I move or eat or swallow or make a sound, my flesh laughs at me. My already swirling, screaming, breath-begging body will burst into flames and melt into nothingness.
The world tells me to push, to fight, to Just. Keep. Going.
But I learn quickly that there is no push in this game. Only tricks, and cheats, and strategy.
It's a chess match on a board I've never seen before, and my opponent is the only one with the rulebook.
Illness owns my body.
There is no free will flesh. There is no- push for one more minute. There is no- if I just take this pill.
This body has been exchanged, kidnapped, swapped for a rag doll.
Once, asking for help seemed an impossible exception only made in the most dire of circumstances.
Now, all of my physical and earthly necessities selflessly come from the hands of those I most admire. The eyes I have always looked up to- now see me at my worst. My body gives me no choice but to surrender to their gentle hands, but my heart is humbled and grateful to receive the gifts of their bottomless compassion. What better picture of mercy than this?
What better picture of grace?
Control freak. Feeling like a freak of nature. My natural systems are out of control. And nothing can be done, but wait. But pray.
Miss "plan for tomorrow." Plan for your dreams. Dream big. Don't give up. Your body gives up.
My body forces surrender on its own schedule- though my Creator waits patiently. While my body may act as a prison, forcing the white flag of my systems- my spirit goes of its own fruition. The more I relinquish control, the more grace is endowed.
God is in control, they say. They say it like an empty cliche.
Control is something I have owned. And something that has owned me. And God doesn't control my will. I surrender it to Him. Child to Father. Tired, weak soul to loving, strength-lending Savior.
In this broken body, I see freedom.

Sliding Doors: An exercise in "What If"
Sometimes I feel as though I've slipped into an alternate dimension. Like there's another version of me living simultaneously while I live my own life. She's the same age. Her appearance is relatively the same. But somewhere along my lifeline, she and I took different paths. I am living out this fate, and she is living out another.
I've always tried to steer clear of asking what if. It never seems to serve any purpose other than cause unneeded longing and regret. But, after the last few years, and all of the sudden changes, my mind is sputtering to catch up. I'm left with the feeling of… displacement. This what if exercise is definitely risk to me emotionally. If played out fully, I hope it will help me sweep the shattered bits back over into my dustpan.
This past year, I can't help but feel as though I'm in the wrong life. I can't shake it.
I imagine what another version of life might be now. I dive into the best and worst of my soul twin, and play out her footsteps.
I sort through the details of her life. There is hurt, longing, and regret of unfulfilled dreams that come along with playing out these fantasies. I'm afraid of going through the looking glass. How deeply will this cut me? But in the end, I hope the exercise will help in some way.
It's like the movie Sliding Doors; I imagine myself making one different choice and living out my life in a parallel universe.
In one reality, I'm still married. I never fell down those stairs in 2004, we had 2 amazing children, and I have the career in psychology I once hoped for. In this reality, I'm just as outgoing, adventurous and fun-loving as I was at 20. This version of me loves her work, she loves helping people in new and experimental ways, and if she ever finds time, she hopes to write a book about her work some day. I imagine her life busily driving her children to baseball and soccer, standing back stage smiling at ballet recitals, and taking pictures at music festivals with her beautiful family. She loves her children and husband unconditionally, they have a house filled with laughter, and they show her love and affection in return. Every couple months she sells handmade jewelry at an art fair- this is when she feels most like herself. Even though she counsels others effectively, she never had time to resolve the issues from her own childhood, and it shows now in her behavior with her/my parents. She empathizes well with her patients, but she doesn't understand their suffering, and is frustrated when she can't fix their problems. Her family stopped going to church and volunteering together- she deeply regrets that for her kids.
Maybe I chose differently after high school graduation, and followed my dream of aid and mission work. Another Mary has been living in a far-off village building wells and working with abused young women for several years. She has collected a different language for every country she has lived in, and always looks forward to her next project. She never married, and rarely regrets the decision to stay single and forgo becoming a mother. She is strong and healthy, but tired, and isn't quite sure where home is anymore. She wishes she could fly back to the states each time a friend or family member asks her to come to their wedding, birthday…or hospital bedside. She lives a life most can't understand, but she wouldn't trade her life of service for anyone else's.
There's yet another version of me who never moved away from New York City. She stayed on the path to pursue an art career. This version of me has short, messy bleach blonde hair, and wears an old motorcycle jacket she stole from an ex boyfriend. She works at her friend's bakery so she can pay her bills. This Mary struggles with depression, but the angst feeds her art so she doesn't get help. The mental illness ruins her romantic relationships, so she's lonely in a big city. She has a modest art following online, and has a large network of colorful friends who keep her very busy. She sings in an indie band for fun, writes art reviews for a small magazine, and volunteers teaching sewing classes to inner city youth on the weekends. In her heart, she hoped she would have found more success by now, but tries to remind herself, art isn't about accolades.
I imagined my existence if I had been born into one of the many communities of the world where healthcare is nearly non-existent. Like most of the world, I wouldn't have been born into priveledge, with affordable doctors nearby. I wouldn't have had wholesome food to eat daily, and may have been exposed to the elements, civil war, and sexual acts of violence against girls. If I had developed the very same condition at 22, I wouldn't be alive at 35. That version of me wouldn't exist. I would have died a slow, painful death, like so many others with the same diseases that we in the US call "chronic," and manage day to day, other parts of the world calls them "terminal".
The door slides again. I step back through the wormhole.
I'm here in my life. In my own body. In my own bed. In my own reality. There is no other fate than mine. There is no other Mary.
This was a challenging, yet powerful exercise- but it did hurt. There were others I didn't write about here. In the end, it was a success, I did shake off that alternate dimension feeling.
This is the life that was set aside for me. In all of the realities I could imagine, this is the only one where I've been molded, strengthened, and shaped to conquer my specific challenges. I am the person whose eyes are prepared to see unique beauty only I might see. I'll leave only one set of footprints behind when I'm gone.
There is no wormhole I'll ever slip into. No sliding door waiting for me to step through and merge into my rightful life.
I'm not entitled to any other existence.
This is my one and only life, with all of its shortcomings, pains, privileges, hopes, and unknown future.
It's not over yet.
Self Portrait Chronic Pain
These are 2 self portraits expressing the neurological and autoimmune disease RSD, also known as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome.
There are those who wonder why those of us confined by pain and illness choose to continue a life suffering when all has been done, and there is not much more to do than to try to make us as comfortable as possible.
Most will never know as much torture as those who live with chronic neurological disease. But to be miserable, to be a victim in your spirit, that you must fight with every effort.
It may take all you have and more, but you are indeed needed in this world. Never, never give up.
Dear friend, never lose faith that your life purpose for being on this earth is so much more powerful than your pain.
I believe in a loving merciful God who lends strength when we get to the end of ours.
I fight to survive, to choose life every day when my body begs the opposite. I want to encourage you today to take on your battle in your own life.
Hugs gentle warrior.
Please share below how you continue to press on despite seemingly insurmountable challenges.
Unseen but Felt
By Brainless Blogger
The thing about an invisible disability is that we can hide it. Mask it. Slap on a façade and pretend. There are many reasons we wear facades. See The Façade. It is a unique feature about invisible illnesses and I do wonder if it makes us more invisible in some ways. People think 'I saw […]

Role of curcumin turmeric in systemic and oral health: An overview
What is Your Purpose?
We should all have a calling, right? A passion that drives us. "If you find your purpose, you will never work a day in your life", and will be wonderfully successful, respected, admired, and make loads of money. At least, that's what I've always heard, so it must be true.
What if I told you that having a "Life's Purpose" is a myth.
We are taught by society, and modern culture that to be fulfilled, we have to find our one special calling, that career we love, and it will bring us prosperity and fortune all of our days.
Why is this philosophy problematic?
…Because we aren't built to have only one purpose. We are each meant to fulfill many unique and diverse missions throughout our lives. We have dreams and goals for ourselves, but we are multidimensional beings and our greatest life passions and fulfillments may or may not be wrapped up in that job we desire.
Most of the time when we say, "What is God's will for my life?" We are referring to our careers, right? But God allows purpose to thrive in so many aspects of our lives.
You can be a passionate artist, a wife, mother, doctor, friend, AND a passionate writer. You can find calling, drive, and fulfillment in multiple areas of your life.
The world hands us such an impossible task of figuring out our one and only sparkling, unicorn reason for existing, and it puts sooooo much pressure on all of us. Once we believe we've found our "life's calling", complete our degrees or training, we can finally pour our passion into the work… but some time later, there's an itch that comes over us. We feel unsettled, maybe even claustrophobic. If you've felt this way before, it's miserable. And it's also a huge disappointment that the dream we wished for doesn't feel like we hoped it would. You do everything you can to refresh that passion you once had in your work, however, more than likely, the feeling of displacement whittles away at your spirit.
A Life's Purpose is not the same as a Life of Purpose.
We were not built to stay in one place. God has so many plans for each of us. Some of us are amazing multi-taskers, juggling projects and people all at once, and others of us pour everything we have into one job, person, or other undertaking, and then we are diverted to our next chapters. One season ends, and the next begins. Sometimes there are painful seasons in between for our growth, for pruning, and for us to prepare for whatever we are meant to do next. And for some of us, those painful seasons last, so we seek out purpose and meaning in the big and small moments.
Callings come in seasons. We all hear the stories again and again: Someone had a career they loved, then a crisis struck, but that sideroad somehow illuminated a new and exciting path. It happens all the time.
Like me, you might be asking, "What is God's will for my life now?" You might feel a little bit lost in the fog, the upside-down, so to speak. Very rarely, we have these beautiful gifts of some extended time when we are just waiting to find out- what's next? It can seem like forever, but rest assured, you are never forgotten by your Creator.
I'm not very good at being still and peaceful while I wait, because I am so impatient. It is such a comfort to know, we are always fulfilling our Life's Purpose when our desire is to please God. When you're seeking to do the next right thing, you can be at ease that you are living inside of your destiny.
POTS- What helps. What to AVOID.
I have to share this POTS post packed with wisdom, and terrific tools I wish I had known years ago!
POTS What Helps?
The contents of this Web page are provided for informational purposes only and should not be used as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Please keep in mind that new treatments are continually emerging and some of the older treatments may rarely be used.
Your physician may prescribe medication to decrease the symptoms of POTS. Doctors admit that treatment can be a challenge and that no single therapy is uniformly successful. Medications that are useful in some patients may have no effect in others. Occasionally medications can worsen symptoms. Medications used to treat POTS include the following:
Anti-arrhythmic drugs, such as disopyramide (norpace), have been used to treat POTS patients. However, studies have shown that some anti-arrhythmic drugs may increase the risk of death, and they are usually used only to treat life-threatening arrhythmias.
Benzodiazepines, such as Clonazepam (klonopin) or alprazolam (xanax)…

Party Etiquette for a Sassy Spoonie/ Missed Manners
Living with constant chronic pain or chronic illness is no party, but you may have been invited to a few this holiday season. Here are some ideas and tips to help you make it through the festivities as we approach the new year.
1. No Cocktails
I know, I know, at your next party, you may be thinking:
"Ughh, why did I come? How do I even get comfortable in this chair? At least I'm not squished on the couch. Did anyone notice that full body spasm? Oh great. And now my hands are shaking. Better put my drink down before I spill it. At least it isn't red wine. Of course not, because wine is a trigger food and 8 of 10 of my medications don't party well with alcohol."
See, isn't this fiesta turning out to be fun?! But don't worry about the NO DRINKING POLICY. Your brain fog keeps you so fuzzy and clumsy on a regular basis that you'll fit right in with your drunk buddies!
2. Polite Conversation
Look at all of those healthy attractive people around you playing ping pong with their witty dialogue. "Hmmm? What? Oh, no that's not a fashion statement. That's called a compression sock. Thank you so much for noticing. Yes, those are my favorite shoes…I guess. I know, I always wear them, don't I? Ha, ha. You are so observant. You know, you should really go bird watching sometime- I hear that is a great hobby for people who enjoy staring."
See, you can play this game of witt too. What a wonderful party!
3. Smile
When in doubt, smile.
Always keep them guessing. When your pain is on red alert and your brain is on complete shutdown, SMILE!
It tells people that they can relax and have a great time no matter how sick you are. You can always go to the ER later, tonight is for celebrating!
So flash those pearly whites and watch your friends dance, karaoke, tell work-related stories, and get jiggy. They'll remember you being a sweet, saint-like creature, and little did they know you were just half-conscious from pain. Talk about a party trick!
Nope, parties just aren't as fun as they used to be. And please don't go around asking people what I USED to do at parties… (seriously, don't). But it's still great to get out and make memories whenever we are able. And when you are not able, know the party won't be the same without you.
Merry Christmas, happy holidays!

The Road to becoming a Meat Cutter or Butcher
Is your taste bud addicted to the taste of meat products coming from pork, beef, crocodile or lamb? Haven't you wondered how the meat you eat was able to be cut in a size just enough for you to eat it? The meat you love comes from large animals. In comparison to chicken meat that only comes from not so big animals, pork meat comes from large pigs. Regardless if you know how to cut meat into smaller sizes, you still cannot cut meat coming from a whole-sized cow or pig unless you are already a butcher or meat cutter.
Meat cutters or butchers are the ones responsible for cutting these large animal meats into smaller ones that can be used for cooking. No regular person can be able to cut a large piece of meat into bite sizes not unless the person is a professional meat cutter. If you want to become one, you need to qualify based on the criteria.
5 Key Takeaways on the Road to Dominating Services
The Best Advice on Butchers I've found
So what are basically the tasks of a butcher or meat cutter? One of their important roles is to ensure that the sharpness of the cutting equipment is maintained and adjusted. They are also the ones who perform the inspection after receiving the meat coming from deliveries. Of course they are also the one who are responsible for cutting and grinding of the meat. They also de-bone these animals. Once they are finished with the cutting, they will also weigh and pack the meat. The sizes of the cut meat are the ones you buy in the market. The cut meats are grouped accordingly to their types of cuts. Butchers also store and refrigerate the meat after cutting and also the inventory.
But how will you become a qualified meat cutter or butcher? Should you possess muscles? Basically, you need to have strong arms. How can you carry a large cow if you are well fit, right? Meat cutters must have the strength because it is needed when you cut the meat. You need to put in mind that this type of job is a physical one. If you are unfit physically, you will not be able to perform the job properly.
Is education a key requirement for you to become a butcher? Definitely not. Education is not actually a basis for you to become a butcher or meat cutter. All you need to have to is your skills in cutting as well as your strength. If you have been doing this job for so long already, the higher is your possibility to become one of the best. There are trainings for this type of job but you can also do it on your own.

Clinging NinoMar. 13th, 2016 07:09 pm
Title :Clinging Nino
Pairing :Sakumiya
Rating: G/PG
Genre: fluff
Length: drabble
Disclaimer: I only have their pictures and this plot (TT—TT)
Summary: Nino become so spoiled at Sho starting this morning. He always clinging on Sho's arm.
Warning: not beta-ed, bad summary, bad story, bad plot, bad english (really bad, there is so many mistakes with grammar, words, please bear with it m_ _m )
Almost all day since this morning Nino clinging to Sho, wherever Sho go Nino will follow him with his hand clutches Sho's arm. Even when they take a bath, Nino didn't want to far away--even to separated by a wall--from Sho. At first, Sho didn't protest since he know Nino. The younger sometimes can be so spoiled at him, just like today. But when they have to work Nino still clinging at him. All the time and didn't want to loosen his arm. That's make Arashi members thinking there is something wrong with Nino.
"Anoo... Sho-chan. What happend to Nino?" Ohno asking him as his eyes look at Nino. Same as Sho's eyes at the same direction. Nino looks still clinging on him, circling his arm on Sho's arm and he looks so tired until he sleep with that position. His lips a little open make a litlle O, his eyes closed so tight. Sho smile.
"I don't know, Ohno-san, he already like this start from this morning"
"I wondering, why he being like that today"
"But he is so cute like that, isn't he?" Aiba said as he poked Nino's cheeks. Jun just nodded with a little chuckled.
"And he didn't playing his game too" Aiba said so as he looking at peaceful Nino
"And I'm so worried about him now" Sho sighed,
"Yeah... I think he got fever at first" Jun look at Nino who still sleep.
"Hmm... Same as me" Sho run his finger on his lover's hair. Caress his hair smoothly.
"Take care of him, nee... Sho-chan" Aiba look at Sho, giving him a worried face.
"Of course I will, Aiba. I'm his lover, don't you remember" Sho smile at him
"Just in case if you forget" and they laughing with a tiny voice for not waking up Nino from his dream.
Nino... Are you allright?" Sho asking him when they alone at lift. Nino look at Sho's eyes and nodded.
Oh... He didn't talk to much since this morning too. It must be something wrong.
"Are you sure?"
"Um..." Nino answer him with nodded and humming as his back of hand rubbing his eyes. After a few minutes, he yawning.
Sho take his back hand and place it on Nino's forehead. Nino frowning,
"What happend Sho-chan?"
"You are not get fever don't you?" Nino shake his head.
"I'm fine. Really. I just..." Nino stop a moment and look to other side. He avoid Sho's eyes.
"Just what, Kazu?" Nino still not answering him.
"Kazu?" Sho take Nino's chin to make him look at him. As soon as they face each other, their eyes meet too.
"I just love you..." he whispering with a very tiny voice.
"I can't hear you, Kazu" Sho teasing him. Now Nino make a pouty lips and Sho can't resist him anymore, with a quick movement he peck a kiss at the younger pouty lips,
"Sho-chan!" Nino hit Sho's arm slightly, make the rapper chuckled.
"I'm sorry. Your lips... I can't resist it. And that's lips so delicious, Kazu" he cupped Nino's cheeks which is already blushing.
"I love you Sho-chan" Nino said it again as he hug him
"Um~ I know" he hug Nino. "And I love you too" he mumbling it on Nino's crown head.
"I love you more and more everyday" Nino said again.
"Umm~ me too"
Finally they arrive at parking area. They enter their car.
After they settled their seatbelt, Sho stop for a moment and looking at Nino again. His eyes fixed on the younger. Nino blushing. Well, Sho really know how Nino never said I love you to him. So... Today is a rare situation for him.
"Are you clinging on me from this morning because you want to said that?" Nino avoid Sho's eyes again and nodded in silence.
Sho chuckled.
"You know... Sometimes, you are really cute" Sho start the engine. Nino cupped his his arm, pretending being mad. Sho just give him a light laugh.
"I'm sorry for not always like that"
"Nope. I love it. Really. I love how you said your love, with a different way. If I can ask you, I want you to be like this everyday" he chuckled again.
"I'll think about it again" Nino look at their front car with a sheepish smile.
Sho just give him a very big smile as return
Well, to have Nino clinging on him is really good thing. Maybe after they arrive, Sho will give something as return of Nino's love.
Another short story, everyone? I'm sorry for my bad english. I know there is so many mistakes here and there. I hope you can bear with it. m_ _m
Thank you for reading and give your comments ^ - ^

Remarks on the Floor of the Senate, December 6, 1999
Mr. President, this amendment, this bill, restates the obvious. There are two parts to the lawsuit provision in this legislation. The first part says that you cannot use taxpayer money to sue a manufacturer for doing something which is legal and lawful. Now, that is common sense. You should not be able to sue that person at all for doing something that is legal and lawful. But in America we are allowed to sue anybody for anything. So all we are saying here is that you cannot use taxpayer money to sue that manufacturer for something he might be doing that is legal and lawful.
The second part of the bill, which nobody seems to want to look at, which is on page 11, says you can use taxpayer money to sue that manufacturer for anything he does that is illegal, unlawful, breaks a warranty, breaks a contract, implied or otherwise. And, Mr. President, this is not the first time that this General Assembly has ever said who you can sue, under what circumstances can you sue, when and where. We have done all that in this Chamber. I remember debates in here that make this thing look like a Sunday brunch.
When we talked about automobile insurance and the debate was do we want to limit someone's right to sue or not, we came up with some kind of bastardized situation which said if you have money and you could buy an expensive policy, you were allowed to sue. If you did not have money and you had to buy the cheap policy, you were not allowed to sue. Nobody got upset about that. We did that. We do it on product liability. We do it on tort reform. It is done all the time.
This is the only instance in recent times when we have had to restate the obvious to protect a minority class of manufacturers who are being blatantly threatened, not with legalities, but blatantly being threatened with harassment, and not harassment by the mayors and their personal money, God forbid, but the mayors and their access to the public till. Taking taxpayer money to do an illegal act, which is to sue a manufacturer for doing something that he is doing, which is completely legal in this country. That is all we said. That is all this says. And this great debate, even those who believe philosophically that they should have the right to harass a minority manufacturer out of business, they will not solve their problem.
Mr. President, there are probably in this country today 100 million guns, and I think that is a conservative number, so if you stop manufacturing them today, they would be available to criminals. Let us not forget the basic concept of gun control, and that is to a criminal, a gun is the tool of their trade. They will get that gun if they have to kill somebody for it or if they have to manufacture it. They will get that weapon. And all this nonsense, feel-good, touchy-feely liberal nonsense only prevents legitimate citizens who would not steal a gun, who would go to the legally licensed purchaser and buy it and put up with the nonsense, it stops them, it impedes them from being able to get the tool they need to protect them from the criminal.
Mr. President, it is all feel-good, touchy, confusing garbage. But the essence is all this bill says is we are not going to allow municipalities to take taxpayer money and harass anybody who is doing something legal. I know that Senator Hughes would be the first one on this floor to get upset about that the police were walking down the street arresting people because they did not like the color of their skin, they did not like what they were wearing, they did not like where they were standing, and they did not like what they were saying. And I would be the second one right behind him defending that right.
This is no different, except the liberal media has found a way to make this minority into a Saddam Hussein. And I am a member of the ACLU, and I firmly believe that you fight for everybody's rights, even the scum of the earth, because if you take away their rights, it will not be long until they take away my rights. And that goes for every minority, be it ethnic, racial, religious, or by what they manufacture. That is what this country is about, and because a couple of misled politicians found a way to get national publicity by not fighting crime, we are going to roll over and let them do that? I am not, and certainly not with my money in my State under my Constitution.
Thank you, Mr. President.

[217] such just views, that his report to the French minis-
ter, though confusedly written, is in substance exact.
He explained that 'the Americans hesitated about a declaration of independence, and an appeal to France; that the British king had not as yet done them evil enough; that they still waited to have more of their towns destroyed and more of their houses burned, before they would completely abhor the emblems of British power; that a brig was despatched to Nantes for munitions of war, and an arrangement made for purchasing the same articles of France by way of St. Domingo; that skilful engineers were much wanted; that everybody in the colonies appeared to have turned soldier; that they had given up the English flag, and had taken for their devices, a rattlesnake with thirteen rattles, and a mailed arm holding thirteen arrows.'
The communications of the French agent to the secret committee were not without influence on the proceedings of congress; in France his letters were to form the subject of the most momentous deliberation which had engaged the attention of a French king for two centuries.
Some foreign commerce was required for the continuance of the war; the Americans had no magazine to replenish their little store of powder, no arsenal to furnish arms; their best dependence was on prizes, made under the pine-tree flag by the brave Manly and others who cruised in armed ships with commissions from Washington; even flints were obtained only from captured storeships; and it was necessary to fetch cannon from Ticonderoga.
The men who enlisted for the coming year, were desired to bring

Mind was originally called NAMH (the National Association of Mental Health) and was set up in the early 1940's to meet the psychiatric needs of soldiers returning from the war. As time progressed it began to distance itself from the medical model and by the 1960's was strongly advocating community care and alternatives to medical treatment. The work of NAMH generated interest at a local level to help people with mental health issues and from there Local Mind Associations began to emerge.
In 1976 a group decided to do this in Denton and called themselves Tameside and Glossop Association of Mind which became a registered charity in 1978. In 2007, the year we became a well-being service, we re-registered as Tameside Oldham and Glossop Mind and well as becoming a Company Ltd by Guarantee. In 2013 the Company articles were amended to reflect on emphasis on holistic well-being and to remove our area of benefit.

Do you have a used pickleball paddle you are willing to part with -- for a good cause?!?
One of Michigan's most well respected pickleball players, Jan Doke, works at a Latchkey program for children ages 5-12. Jan brought her paddles in one day for the children to try. "They loved it"!
Jan Doke is going to teach the children at the Latchkey program how to play picklebball. She is trying to collect 20 paddles for the Latchkey program and a community program she would like to start for children in Hartland, MI.
Jan is a wonderful teacher! She has the right temperament, skill set, and energy to help children learn to make life-impacting healthy choices. I raise my paddle to Jan Doke -- and I am happy to be among the first to add that paddle to her Latchkey program pickleball equipment box.
If you have a used, but still functional, paddle(s) for the children Jan Doke will be teaching please:
- give the paddle(s) directly to Jan Doke when you see her on the courts
- give the paddle(s) to Tom Valentine, Larry Sagowitz, Clare Bushman or me and we will deliver them to Jan Doke
- email me if you have any questions or want more information
Yours in pickleball, Janet Razz

Safety on Margarita Island
Margarita Island offers a very safety environment and is not affected by any political problems.
There is enough food: delicious fresh fish, naturally ripe fruits, vegetables, mineral water, rum, beer, etc. There is not lack of anything, there is everything.
Some types of food such as cane sugar, flour, corn flour, and other have government regulated prices. As a consequence they have a high demand and sometimes are not available at supermarkets. Nevertheless, we can find enough products of this kind imported from other countries in stores. Pictures of empty supermarket shelves shown on the media are propaganda.
As regretful as it can be, as in any other part of the world, in Margarita island, crimes occurred occasionally. However, these crimes are spread on the news and many times they are taken out of the general context. Certainly, Venezuela is not the safest place on earth neither is the most dangerous. Venezuela is like any other country, with positive and negative sides.
Tourism in the country is not very well organized. Due to the exchange control and to the fact that there are several exchange rates, it is difficult for a tourist to organize his/her trip.
We help our students with everything they need. We book tickets from Caracas to Porlamar and we also offer transportation from the airport to host families. Our students are our guests and part of the family. We feel happy and honored when somebody, regardless the bad news and travel warnings made by international relation ministries of certain countries, decides to enrolled in a Spanish course in CELA, Margarita Island. More than 82 different beaches, beautiful mountain landscape and human kindness are a small sample of what Margarita Island will offer you.
We take our students from the host families to school on our van. We join them during the excursions. We make safe and fun excursions on the weekends. Our host families have been the same from many years and they frequently join us on our activities.
Margarita Island is not affected by ocasionally political demonstrations.
You can read comments made by our former students at our visitor's blog http://learningspanishatcela.blogspot.com

It was a typical Sunday morning; I was in my bed sleep, completely oblivious to what was going on across the hall in my mother's room. That's when my little sister came in my room to tell me that my mom was crying. I didn't believe her so I got up to see for myself. I've never heard my mother cry before so I thought she was laughing. I stood in the doorway for about five minutes when she looked at me with tears in her eyes and told me that my grandmother died in her sleep last night from a heart attack.
We will write a custom essay sample
on The Day that changed my life forever or any similar
topic specifically for you
I was in complete shock, I didn't know if I should be sad, mad, devastated, or anything like that. I couldn't believe that was she gone just like that. The day before, when I last visited her, she looked completely healthy. She was smiling and happy so when I heard she had a heart attack I kept thinking how, how could she be gone so suddenly. Later on that Sunday, we went to her house to see how her brother was holding up. He asked me if I wanted to go in the house but I said, "No, I don't want to go in there right now".
When he asked me why, all I said was, "I'm just not ready. " I couldn't handle going in there because of all the memories that were in that were in her house and because of the fact that I was vulnerable, I was still in shock and afraid. For the next few days, all I could think about was her. When I went to class the next day, I didn't say anything; I couldn't even focus on my work, because I missed her so much. To me, my grandma was the rock that kept my family strong. She was what held us together at the seams.
My grandma could make anyone laugh no matter what, and she helped any and everyone she could. She taught me things that would eventually help me in the future.
Page 2 The Day that changed my life forever Essay
After she died, my family just fell apart because we didn't know what to do. We were afraid that we would break apart at the seams. We didn't know who to turn to for advice, we were lost. Her death hit me the hardest because she was my best friend; we had a special bond that no one could break. I knew that one day that she was going back to her home with the God; I just didn't expect it to happen so soon.
There were still things I still wanted to do with her, places I wanted to go with her. Since I knew that she died, I knew that I would have to find some way to control my emotions, which is why I started writing poetry. Poetry helps me get my feelings out so that I could focus on my schoolwork and get my life on track. I know that she's still watching over me, making sure that I grow into the mature young lady she knows I am. I've talked to her in my dreams many times, but it's not the same as seeing her, and talking to her face to face.
She was very influential and inspiring to me, because no matter what was going on in her life, she always had a smile on her face. She was the only person who I could talk to about anything, now I don't know who I can talk to because her advice made me who I am today. My only regret is that I didn't attend her funeral simply because I couldn't bear the thought of seeing them putting her in the ground. Her death made me realize that your life can end at any moment, so you should live your life to the fullest, because you'll never know when your time on Earth is up.See More on Family

Accelerating rates of construction, changing demographics, technological changes, and climate change are some of the key drivers influencing the use of Europe's vast landscapes. A European Environment Agency report published today says that the continent's land use increasingly sees striking changes and conflicts over land demand which will require reconciling place-based management and macro policies to foster responsible land use.
Shaping the future of energy in Europe29 Aug 2017
In many ways energy powers our lives and we depend on a reliable supply of energy at an affordable price, but at what cost to our environment? The European Environment Agency's (EEA) Signals 2017 published today looks into Europe's energy system and its transition towards clean, smart and renewable energy.
Ammonia (NH3) emissions in Europe have fallen since 1990, but not as much as emissions of other air pollutants tracked under an internationally agreed United Nations Convention. According to a European Environment Agency (EEA) report published today, ammonia emissions increased in 2015 and several European Union Member States as well as the EU as a whole exceeded their respective NH3 emission limits under the Convention.
European countries need to rapidly step up efforts and define their investment needs and plans to match their objectives in shifting to a low-carbon, climate-resilient economy. This is the key finding of a stocktaking briefing published by the European Environment Agency (EEA) today, which also stresses the need for clear information on investment needs and priorities to attract private finance.
Better mix of measures including pricing and awareness campaigns key to improving sustainable water use04 Jul 2017
In the face of challenges like drought and growing demand in many European Union countries, managing water supplies will require a better mix of pricing and non-pricing measures to ensure efficient household water use, according to a new European Environment Agency briefing published today.
Air pollution in Europe: Countries struggle to meet emission limits due to emissions from agriculture and transport03 Jul 2017
Eleven EU Member States breached air pollution ceilings in 2015 mostly due to high emissions from agricultural and transport sources, according to new data and a briefing released today by the European Environment Agency (EEA). The briefing includes information on countries' 2015 emissions and national ceilings for different pollutants.
More than 85 percent of bathing water sites monitored across Europe in 2016 met the most stringent 'excellent' quality standards — meaning they were mostly free from pollutants harmful to human health and the environment, according to the annual bathing water quality report published today. Over 96 percent of bathing water sites met minimum quality requirements set out under European Union rules.
With an estimated 100 million Europeans affected by harmful levels, road traffic is by far the largest source of noise pollution in Europe, according to a new assessment published by the European Environment Agency (EEA) today.
Despite improvements in hazardous waste management, more measures would be required to prevent the build-up of hazardous waste across Europe, according to a European Environment Agency (EEA) report released today. The report reviews the application of waste prevention programmes across European countries regarding waste types that are considered to be most dangerous to human health and the environment.
What changes are needed in order to move towards a more sustainable mobility system in Europe? A European Environment Agency (EEA) report released today assesses the latest environmental trends in transport and presents examples of the different transitions needed in terms of technology, urban planning and societal behaviour to make transport more sustainable.
Substantial progress in cutting greenhouse gas emissions, air and other pollutants, and improving energy and material efficiency, needs to be complemented by more actions by EU Member States to fully apply agreed-to policies to better protect biodiversity, natural resources, and people's health. These are the key findings of a new European Environment Agency (EEA) report which reviews key trends and outlook towards achieving EU 2020 environmental objectives.
Achieving the European Union's long-term objective of shifting to a sustainable, low-carbon future will be a massive undertaking. It will require fundamental changes in how we live, produce goods and consume. A new joint report by the European Environment Agency (EEA) and the European Environment Information and Observation Network (Eionet) explores the innovations and new knowledge that can catalyse and guide transitions. It further investigates how the EEA and Eionet can help support such change.
Renewables continue to grow in the EU, but Member States need to step up ambition on energy savings01 Dec 2016
The EU Member States have lowered their energy consumption in recent years, despite a slight increase in 2015. At the same time, they use more and more renewable energy. Overall, the 28 Member States are collectively well on their way to meeting their 2020 targets on renewables, energy efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions. However, continuing current trends will fall short of longer term objectives, according to a new European Environment Agency (EEA) assessment published today.
Quality of Europe's water for people's use has improved, but challenges remain to keep it clean and healthy30 Nov 2016
The quality of drinking water and bathing water, and the effectiveness of waste water treatment across the European Union continues to improve, according to a new European Environment Agency (EEA) report published today. However, pollution from sources like waste water treatment plants, agricultural runoff and storm water overflows, and emerging risks like micro pollutants from personal care products pose challenges to maintaining clean and healthy water for people's use.
Less household waste going to landfill in Europe14 Nov 2016
European countries are improving their methods to prevent household trash and other municipal waste from ending up in landfill sites. Recycling rates, in particular, have increased considerably across Europe over the past decade, due in part to European environmental policies, according to a new European Environment Agency (EEA) assessment published today.
Rivers and lakes located in European cities and towns are getting cleaner thanks to improvements in waste water treatment and restoration projects which have brought many waterways back to life. New forms of water management contribute to make our cities greener, smarter and more sustainable, but key challenges remain, according to a new report by the European Environment Agency (EEA) released today.
Securing our need for food has become a major threat to the environment, driving increased emissions and over-exploitation of natural resources such as water, soil and fish. Our health and well-being have also been affected. Ensuring nutritious food for all in a fair and environmentally sound way has become a societal, economic and policy challenge across the world. A shared understanding of the food system and the roles different actors — policy makers, producers and other stakeholders in the food supply-chain — play will be crucial to a sustainable future, according to a new European Environment Agency report published today.
The surplus of CO2 emission allowances in the European Union's Emissions Trading System (ETS) started declining in 2015. This is the first significant decrease since unused allowances started accumulating in 2008. However, the surplus remains substantial, according to the European Environment Agency's annual report on the EU's emissions cap and trade system published today.
Decommissioning fossil fuel power plants between now and 2030 essential for Europe's low carbon future07 Oct 2016
Significant changes will be needed in the Member States' energy-generating mix if the European Union is to meet its 2050 goal to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 80-95 % compared to 1990 levels, according to a new European Environment Agency (EEA) report published today. While the European Union has made considerable progress in improving energy efficiency and using renewable energy sources, a well-planned transition out of carbon-intensive power generation is needed to meet the long-term aim of creating a low-carbon society.
Environmental taxes can contribute to a healthier planet and healthier people. They also spur jobs and growth, are easy to administer and difficult to evade. However, meeting EU climate and other environmental policy targets will erode the existing base for these sort of taxes. This and other systemic factors have implications for the design of future tax systems in Europe, according to an EEA report published today.

If you are looking at buying a new gas grill, check out Consumer Reports before saying "charge it."
The May issue of Consumer Reports says the lower priced Char-Broil models available at Home Depot and Lowe's are excellent buys. They range in prices from $300 to $500.
It also recommends the Weber Genesis E320 (much higher priced at $700) and a Brinkmann and a Kenmore model.

If you've ever experienced depression you'll most likely be all too familiar with the feeling that I am about the describe. You wake up and the anxiety settles in almost instantaneously. If you're lucky you might get a few moments of peace before you remember all of the things you've been worrying about. In the short period of time between total unconsciousness and total wakefulness you might get a few seconds of happiness or at least neutrality. But then it sets in.
It never really left to begin with and most of the time your dreams are just as lonely, sad, and anxious as the waking world.
Today, the instant anxiety than comes along with depression (for me, anyway…) hit me hard as soon as I opened my eyes.
I think one of the most misunderstood aspects of depression is how it can turn the simplest task into what feels like an exhaustive marathon. A few months ago I had a routine that involved getting up early every day and starting my day right away. Usually this meant going to work, but on days off or weekends I would still keep myself busy by reading, writing, blogging, cleaning or going out for the day. But this isn't the case anymore. I've said this before, but the fact that I'm blogging right now is a miracle in and of itself. The only reason I'm managing to get some blogging done today is the fact that I can do it without leaving the safety of my bed.
Even the idea that leaving my room is "unsafe" is misunderstood. It's not as if I have an irrational fear that the moment I leave my room or my apartment I will be attacked by a wild animal or something equally dangerous. It's the experience of anxiety in and of itself that feels unsafe. I have anxiety about experiencing anxiety. It's like meta-anxiety and it fuels my depression by keeping me hidden away in the safety of my room. I fear that if I leave my apartment I will be faced with all sorts of situations that could lead to me having a panic attack in public. This is turn causes me to feel panicky about even the thought of leaving the apartment which makes it that much more difficult to just get out of bed let alone actually leaving the apartment.
I wish people could understand that depression isn't just sadness. Sure, that's a huge part of the experience of depression, but there is so much more to it. Depression is a crippling weight that you have to carry around with you no matter where you go which reminds you of all of the reasons that you should be anxious, stressed, sad, and so on. Depression is like a thick fog that surrounds you and makes it impossible to see the bigger picture through the mist of immediate anxiety triggers. For me, the most prominent feeling that I associate with depression is hopelessness followed closely by anxiety.
Depression is complex and deeply rooted. It's not something that you can just snap out of in an instant by suddenly forcing yourself to think more optimistically. (If I'm totally honest, optimism seems foolish and naive if you look at it through the lens of depression…but I guess the whole point would be eliminating that lens…which leads me back to the first part of my statement: it's not something you can just snap out of).
If you are struggling with depression I hope that this post will let you know that you're not alone. If you have a friend, sibling, daughter, son, student, or acquaintance who is struggling I hope this post will help you understand depression better so that you can be more compassionate, empathetic, and supportive.
Thanks for reading!

18 Combined MPG (15 city )
EPA estimated
Minivans have been enjoying a resurgence of sorts, thanks to a wave of new products coming to market the last few years from a variety of manufactures. Dull, utilitarian, bare-bones family haulers are out. Better-looking, more-powerful, feature-laden people movers are in.
When it comes to a history of leadership in minivan design, Chrysler has certainly earned the right to lay claim to the title. After all, the company invented the market 15 years ago, and has been busy tying to reinvent it ever since. DaimlerChrysler says it sells about 700,000 minivans worldwide every year, and has moved nearly 7 million of them since 1983.
Minivan sales account for about 8 percent of all new vehicles sold in the United States, and Chrysler owns a 45-percent share of the North American market. But when you're the sales king -- everybody comes gunning for you. That's why new entries from Honda and Toyota, as well as revamped domestic challengers from Ford and General Motors, are so darn good: they HAVE to be good to topple the leader.
But DaimlerChrysler doesn't seem worried. Perhaps that's because the company is too busy expanding the market into niche segments. Take the high-end of the minivan market, for example. Chrysler introduced the first "luxury minivan" with the debut of its Town &Country model back in 1990. And it hasn't looked back since.
"Positioned as the perfect luxury car alternative or luxury car garage-mate, our Town &Country minivans continue to be a tremendous success in the marketplace," said Ralph Sarotte, DaimlerChrysler's director of minivan operations. "Since 1995, Town &Country minivan sales have increased 117 percent. We have virtually created a segment within a segment."
On pure styling alone, the Chrysler Town &Country has to rank among the most attractive minivans ever built. A bold grille, flowing bodylines and muscular flanks make it almost car-like in proportion, and with a graceful greenhouse, low snout and large fog lamps, it begs for a double take. But because it boasts a laundry list of clever features, standard equipment and upscale amenities, the Town &Country's beauty is more than skin deep. It is marketed as a more practical alternative to a luxury sedan, and comes equipped to play the part.
Standard goodies abound, from dual rear sliding doors to things like power locks, windows and outside mirrors (the latter with heat and memory to boot) plus tilt, cruise and keyless illuminated entry. A 200-watt Infinity AM/FM-cassette-CD-equalizer powers a total of 10 speakers throughout the cabin. The rear window has both a defroster and wiper/washer, while the front glass features a windshield wiper deicer - a real plus during Michigan-type winters.
But it's the extras that really set Town &Country apart. Load-leveling and height-control suspension is standard. So is a full-size spare tire. There's a handy array of storage bins, cupholders and cubbyholes, plus a fully featured overhead console. They even thought of adding front and rear power outlets, a cargo net between the front driver and passenger seats - and, of course, those really neat grocery bag hooks built into the back of the rear bench. (Those hooks proved amazingly competent after a shopping trip that included 2-liter bottles of pop and canned goods that simply were not allowed to roll around back there on every turn. How did we ever live without this feature?)
For 1999, Chrysler raises the bar even higher with the addition of what it calls "the ultimate luxury minivan" -- the Town &Country Limited. This new, top-end version blends a monochromatic paint scheme with tasteful chrome accents and 16-inch spoked wheels. Inside, the Limited touts upmarket features such as eight-way power heated front seats, steering wheel-mounted radio controls and dual-zone temperature controls.
The muted blue-green Deep Slate Pearl Coat metallic paint on our Town &Country Limited AWD test car was as flawless as we've seen on any Chrysler product. Set off by distinctive badging - including Chrysler's winged logo on the liftgate - the look is one of rich elegance, not practical utility. And its new-for-'99 Taupe interior debuts upgraded perforated leather seats with "Preferred Suede" trim, a new rear bench seat design with center armrest and "Limited" embossed floor mats covering plush, 18-ounce carpeting.
Limited AWD comes standard with a 3.8-liter V6, good for 180 horsepower. Its 240 foot-pounds of torque is delivered to a four-speed automatic transmission that feeds power to all four wheels all of the time for superb road-holding traction. (With this system, there is no need for an additional traction control unit.) The tradeoff is that a full-time AWD drivetrain tends to sap engine power and exacts a fuel-economy penalty. (One tankful netted us a mere 15.8 miles-per-gallon in a city/highway mix of somewhat spirited driving - but we realize high mileage isn't the point of a premium vehicle like this.)
Around-town performance was adequate even with a full complement of passengers, and shifts were quite smooth -- the reputation of Chrysler minivan transmissions notwithstanding. The Limited's four-wheel antilock disc brakes were easy to modulate and steering was surprisingly direct. Ride quality is as good as most big sedans, and while overall handling could be described as confident, we must admit that only the occasional freeway on-ramp afforded the opportunity for enthusiastic cornering.
One concern we have about the Town &Country in general is this platform's spotty crash-test results. While newer minivan models from other manufacturers are garnering five-star ratings in government crash tests, DaimlerChrysler's minis continue to underwhelm in both frontal-, side- and offset-crash scores. If crash safety ratings are a big issue for you, you may want to consider highly optioned models from another automaker.
The only option on our test vehicle was seven-passenger Quad Command seating with a new, integrated reclining child seat designed into the mid-row buckets, adding $125 to the sticker. We tested the "Easy Out Roller Seats" and found them to be somewhat easier to take out than put back in, but suspect the procedure would become easier with practice.
Overall, we enjoyed our time in the Town &Country Limited AWD luxo-van. There's very little to dislike about this vehicle, from design to execution, and build quality was impressive. The only negative to report, aside from the aforementioned fuel economy and crash-test scores, is the fact that all these features and luxury touches will exact a heavy toll on your wallet. This model lists for nearly $37,000 -- that's a big chunk of change for a minivan, no matter how nice they've dressed it up.
But luxury is a relative term, especially when you compare a minivan with a luxury sedan. Chrysler officials might ask, and rightly so, just how many big luxury sedans can seat seven, provide as much transportation flexibility and cost under $40K? Good question.
For now, the flagship of the Chrysler minivan fleet can rest easy in the lap of luxury.

The best skiing conditions are still in the west of the country, which has had the best snow so far this season. Ski resorts like Lech-Zuers (95-125cm), St. Anton (60-135cm), Warth-Schroecken (115-150cm) and Damuels (80-160cm) have a lot of open terrain. See Austrian snow depths for more resorts.

As in the rest of the Alps, the best snow is on upper runs while lower runs have softened a little, particularly by the afternoon. Some of the best conditions can be found in Zermatt (20-180cm), Melchsee-Frutt (130-200cm), Grindelwald (20-105cm), Murren-Schilthorn (400-142cm) and Verbier (15-155cm). See Swiss snow depths for more resorts.
Substantial snow dumps are expected this weekend, with around half a metre forecast for Samnaun (52cm), Murren-Schilthorn (50cm), Aletsch Arena (49cm), Bellwald (46cm), Gstaad Mountain Rides (45cm), Villars-Gryon (43cm), and many more. See full Switzerland snow forecast.
Italian ski resorts have been bathed in sunshine this week, but temperatures are now falling again. Some of the best skiing can be found in the Dolomiti Superski where the vast majority of lifts and slopes are open, and in the high-altitude resort of Cervinia (80-180cm), which has seen some of the biggest snowfalls this season, and has 15/15 lifts running. Good skiing can also be found in Courmayeur (110-180cm), La Thuile (60-150cm) and Pila (60-120cm). See Italy snow depths for more resorts.
The Milky Way resorts have seen spring-like conditions this week, and the best skiing here is in the French resort of Montgenevre (90-110cm) with 21/25 lifts open.
Slightly more moderate snowfall is forecast for Italy over the weekend, with the biggest dumps expected in La Thuile (44cm), Courmayeur (41cm), Val Senales (20cm), Livigno (15cm) and Cervinia-Breuil (15cm). See full Italy snow forecast.
Andorra's ski resorts have seen warm, spring-like conditions this week but the vast majority of slopes remain open and in pretty good condition: Vallnord/Arcalis (60-100cm), Vallnord/Pal-Arinsal (50-80cm) and Grandvalira (35-70cm). The sunny weather will continue here over the weekend.
The Bulgarian ski resorts of Bansko and Borovets have been bathed in sunshine of late but remain in great condition with all lifts and slopes open: Bansko (30-90cm) and Borovets (70-90cm). The warm, sunny weather looks set to continue beyond the weekend.
