Hmm. Punching in face. Not a bad suggestion.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Mandy, I don't think an appointment with another RE would hurt. Consider it 'informational' only. And start poking around into adopting from China. Like I said, a few years ago I did and ended up researching it far more than you'd think someone with 3 daughters already would. It was both heartbreaking and enlightening and I nearly convinced myself that was a path I needed to take. I somehow got offtrack and decided if I were to do it, I'd adopt from Vietnam, but now I cannot remember why. I think perhaps they'd just opened that avenue up for Americans? And when my father was in the service there, he spent much of his free time at an orphanage in Tay Ninh.
If I do adopt, I don't know that China will be the right path for me simply because of the wait time. They also have a net worth requirement and since my home has negative equity, I doubt we meet that criteria. I suppose it depends whether they consider the value ofmthe house or how much equity we have. either way, there are easier countries to adopt from. Although, since my niece and nephew are half Asian I admit I like the idea of adopting from an Asian country but that won't be the decision maker for me.
Years ago I worked with a little girl who had been adopted from Russia. Her mother told a story that they when they first saw her at the orphanage, the staff there told her she didn't talk at all. Mom had learned a few Russian words to prepare for her trip and when they took the little girl outside, they saw her point to the sky and say "airplane" in Russian. They couldn't even speak Russian and they understood her. I did a lot of research about Russian orphanages at the time and was apalled at the levels of neglect and the result of that neglect on the children. That was before I was married and I really did feel a strong sense that I should adopt from a Russian orphanage some day. I don't know if you all heard, but Russia has now closed adoptions to the US just this last winter so that will never be an option for me.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
There have been some really horrible events making headlines with Russian adoptions, but on a broader scale, there have been long-term problems that have not made international news. There are other countries nearby that are not dissimilar and may or may not be a better option now--I have some family friends who adopted from Poland when I was a girl, but I don't know what the situation is like now.
I'm sorry I haven't been participating much in discussions lately. I've been popping on and off and trying to stay caught up in my work breaks and stuff, but that pretty much only lets me write a couple of sentences and then I'm done, or even if I write more and get interrupted, it's all over. I had to order food for the birthday party and had a noon deadline yesterday, but on my day off (Wednesday) I ended up going to two different doctor appointments to deal with diagnosing an eye infection, so I forgot to do it and I was frantically trying to get that taken care of during my work break yesterday and they weren't answering the phone. Then we got super-busy right before noon and I was worried that I wouldn't have any food, but I called back later and they told me it was okay.
My DH has been having some crazy work schedules and it's been stressing both of us out and it's not only made it so he can't do much at home, but I can't even ask him questions about upcoming events and I have to restrict my activities and the kids' activities. The other day he had a conference call from 6 AM to 8 AM and was in the dining room the whole time, which adjoins the kitchen and is only about 15 feet away from the living room. So he got up early and I had to keep the kids very quiet and I fed them out in the living room and just put towels on the floor with their cereal bowls and shh'd them all the time. I couldn't do the dishes or let them play or start laundry. He got home in time to help put them to bed, so he was here to read to a subset of kids, and he had a snack, and then he had another conference call until 9:30 PM. I couldn't do any chores again, because sleeping kids were taking up one side of the house and my dh and his phone call were taking up the other side. Now he is up again early for another 6 AM conference call.
The twins burst out of the bedroom, yelling at him that they were six years old this morning, and I had to grab them and tell them that they could tell him later because he was on the phone with work. It's hard, because he's dealing with people in multiple different countries around the world and he's been talking to people in India and China and Europe and the East Coast, so they have to find times where both sets are going to be awake. And he's already upset enough about this schedule that if I add my unhappiness to it, it's going to be a lot worse. He's already working on his resume again. Still, it does seem pretty unreasonable to have expectations for a tiny house with 3 small children in it to be an office environment for that many hours a day, OR to have him be at the office (an hour away) from 6 AM until 9:30 PM without any advance notice. What if we'd had a dinner party scheduled last night?
He's going to China for 3 weeks in the not-too-distant future, too.
Anyway, I have to get going while I have the opportunity to make breakfast and do some chores.
Goodness, L, that is a lot! What I ask DH to do if he wants quiet on phone calls (the situation is much the same here, but pretty much on an ongoing basis, forever) is to go to the bedroom or bathroom. It is unreasonable to expect a 3 year old to stay quiet for hours on end, or for the dogs to not bark. Hope things settle down for you a bit.
Yeah, L, that sounds awful. I know at our house, when one person has a really difficult thing going on with work, it really affects everyone else, and it sounds like that is happening bigtime at your house. I hope you can find a solution that works a little better. I'm wondering the same as Suja - could he set up in your bedroom for those early and late calls? Sounds so stressful for everyone, your dh included.
I'm glad the food people were flexible with you. When you have a lot going on, it's so wonderful when someone cuts you slack. Feels like a gift.
We don't have any bedrooms that don't have little people sleeping in them at night (S. still has his bed in our room), so DH can't move into the bedrooms at night, and he could potentially move into our bedroom in the morning if the kids are awake and out in the living room/kitchen area, but that room has the only shower and my clothes and shoes and toothbrush/toiletries and S's clothes, so I would still be disturbing him to get ready and out of the house. I do think it would be better, though.
I suggested that he go out and sit in my car this morning, actually, because I needed to have everyone take showers AND eat breakfast all in the same morning, and I thought my car would be quiet and the WiFi would reach out there. He went in the bedroom and finished the call before shower time, but I ran out of time to brush my teeth and put on deodorant and he asked me when I'd be out of the bathroom.
We need to set up another router so we can get WiFi in the separate building we have, that actually is designed to be a home office and is now just a holding area for toys and camping equipment and aquarium supplies and rockets. I've been suggesting that for ages. That's where he used to work on his thesis in grad school. He's got a huge desk with surround sound speakers, his own photography framed on the walls, and then a bunch of stuff everywhere else on top of this beautiful antique Persian rug his mother gave to him. It's also got the third car seat that belongs in his car, that he took out three weeks ago and swore to me that he'd put it back no later than Tuesday that same week in case he needed to take all three kids in his car for some reason. So you can see how well deadlines work.
I can't really contribute much to the adoption conversation. It is not something I am knowledgeable about in the least. I did look pretty extensively into the state foster to adopt program, but that is about it. I only hope that whatever decision you make is one that brings you peace and happiness, you deserve it
L, what a headache Ugh, so much to handle.
We just got home from awesome camping trip. But Kai has a horribly infected tick bite that he is on antibiotic for. It is very painful.
I asked the woman who hosts our csa site if she could possibly hold my box until today since I would not be able to pick up Thursday. She said yes and that if she could, she would put it in the garage refrigerator so it wouldn't spooning that she didn't know if there was room. I just went to pick it up an unfortunately she could not make room and most of the lettuce produce is slimy. Also, I could not find my bread so I checked the refrigerator and found no bread but cases of beer that would have been so simple to pull out for one night so my vegetables would not spoil. I know she ha no obligation to do that but it seems like common decency. Now I have to call her to see if she knows where my bread is.
L, I know so well the stress of keeping the kids quiet so he can take a phone call. I rearranged our whole house to make him an office because I couldn't do it anymore. It was awful!
Now I need to shower- it's been a few days!
Bridget, I remember that the CSA lady has seemed like kind of a flake in the past, too. I hope that you get all the food you need and you get to a point where neither you nor she feels put-upon by the other.
I hope Kai's ear gets better soon. I was at work yesterday when I saw your post about his ear, and I clocked out and started looking up the recommended treatment and if & when antibiotics were recommended (it can be more complicated depending on where and when and who, and if the tick is specifically identified as one kind or another), and started reading all of these articles, and was going back on to post a reply when I saw that it was mostly for the infection and by that time I was really late leaving work and needed to get through traffic so I ended up not writing anything and it would have taken me longer to start over in a different direction. But I'm sorry to hear about the infection. Is it getting better at all?
We had to dig out a pile of ticks (okay, only two) from R's scalp one time, and it was horrible and painstaking. They were one on top of another, and the top one was filled with blood to the point where we didn't even realize there were two there. At first, when DH started gently pulling on it and saw all the little legs, he thought it had given birth and there were a bunch of babies underneath. It was slightly less horrifying to realize it was a stack of ticks. Anyway, it was extra difficult to extract them both from the same area, and there was a pretty big wound afterward.
Now that everyone here is shuddering and feeling things crawling on them, I will leave and go back to what I really should be doing. Wrapping roller skates. And endless laundry. And dishes. And sweeping.
THanks for sharing that lovely story, L! Lol. And actually the infection does not seem to be getting better. I was just saying to dbf that I hoped it wasn't an antibiotic resistant infection. They gave us a 2 week dose of the amox, I guess to ward off lyme too as long as he'd already be taking it for 10 days. Does that sound right to you? If it's not improving tomorrow, I'm taking him back in. It's so awful, his hair was getting stuck in it, and now he has to wear a bandana at all times to keep the hair out and keeping his grubby little hands off it because it says it itches. I tried to get him to let me squirt breastmilk on it but he ran away screaming, "The HORROR of BREASTMILK!" so I guess that's not happening. Neosporin it is.
L, your tick post creeped me the heck out. I am never leaving the desert. I'll take my chances with the scorpions.
I Kai.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
I will try that now, L, while he's a watching a movie and in a trance. Thank you.
I guess you guys don't want to see the actual pictures of the ticks, then, do you, or the tick removal process?
And oh, the innocence of kids. DH and I were trying to stay so calm and matter-of-fact, despite our inner trembling. We did a really good job. Such a good job, in fact, that R. volunteered the info to multiple people, strangers and friends alike, over the days, weeks, and months after that. We'd be grocery shopping and he'd mention out of the blue to someone in the checkout lane, "Do you want to see the spot on my head where the tick and all of the little tick legs were wiggling out from underneath it? It turns out there were TWO TICKS ON TOP OF EACH OTHER RIGHT HERE!!!!" I'm sure I made a lot of friends. Although I bet it helped us from getting too crowded.
Oh, and I should add, Bridget, that of course when I say hot you will not make it so hot that it's liable to cause burns. I just realized after a little reviewing that some sites recommend just warm packs, although I have successfully eradicated infections on my toes by reapplying heat as much as I could tolerate, usually by continually rewarming hot water soaks. If it's not getting better soon, though, I'd get back in to see the doctor. Also if he gets a fever go in sooner.
I shuddered. I want to tell dbf the story but he would never forgive me.
My csa lady brought my bread inside because she didn't want it to go stale. I actually guffawed at that text. Anyway, she forgot to bring it back out and leave it with my vegetables so I will be going back for it tomorrow.
Thanks, L. I promise if it was even a smidge over warm, Kai would alert the neighbors with his howls. He is very, shall we say, sensitive? He is going to eat some roasted garlic so I hope that will help too.
Have any of you ladies heard of anything called Angular Cheilitis?
I have had, what I've thought was a cold sore, for quite some time now. Looking over some old pictures the other day, I've had it since at least November. It's quite painful. I've tried everything to remedy it. While Google-ing today, I came across Angular Cheilitis and it seems to fit Not like I can go a doctor though (being as I don't have one ) and I've been unsuccessful in finding any natural remedys............
No one can ever skeeve me out with tick stories. I've easily pulled dozens off ticks off the dogs, and a dozen or so from myself. I was talking to the vet one time about a particularly bad tick season, and she said that the worst one she has seen was literally covered in nymphs. There is apparently such a thing as a tick nest, this dog walked through one, and came out with hundreds of ticks on it. They were everywhere, between the dog's toes, inside his ears, rimming his eyeballs and anus,...that, made me shudder a bit.
Yup. Never.Leaving.Desert. Shudder.

If we have any stalkers, I bet they're regretting it now
For the record, I am pretending not
To see the conversation about ticks
From reading a site or two, it looks like it's generally treated with antifungals, a combo of topical antifungals and a steroid like hydrocortisone, or an antibiotic depending on the underlying cause. You can get versions of most of those over the counter, so I guess I'd just try them and see if any work. Have you tried Neosporin? I'd do that first and then try clotrimazole mixed with hydrocortisone. I have no medical training whatsoever, though - it's just what I'd try if it were me and I didn't want to go to the doc. You could also ask your ob at your next visit, though.
Gretchen, are you pretending there is no tick talk?
Ah, ticks. I have become squeamish since moving to England and not having to deal with any creepy crawlies! The worst things here are the house spiders that run across our living room floor in the winter time seemingly out of nowhere. Even those are miniscule compared to American spiders. We don't have to even worry about snakes either since there aren't many of them around. I guess if you can endure the weather here then it's a pretty decent place to live!
We used to always be picking ticks off us in the summer in Arkansas. And thenthere were seed ticks. And chiggers. I think those were the worst of all. I remember once after blackberry picking, realizing that I'd been attacked by chiggers all on the sides of both of my legs. Those mofos itched so bad! I never did go back out berry picking without spraying bug spray all over me.
One thing you could use too B is hand warmers. You know those little packets of heat people put in their shoes or mittens in the winter. I have used them before on myself if one of my skin things is starting to look infected. Heat just does wonders. I just put some material between the packet and my skin....something thin like t-shirt material.
Christina.....I would see a dentist. I don't get cold sores but was told at my last visit that if I ever did get one, come on it and they can zap it with a laser. If it's not, I would expect that they would tell you. Mouth and teeth are their speciality.

Thinking about cancer or dealing with cancer risk can be scary or overwhelming, but we believe that receiving information and resources is comforting, empowering, and lifesaving.
Genetic information can refer to family history of a disease or a genetic test result. Genetic discrimination occurs when a person is treated differently because he or she has an inherited disorder or is at risk to develop an inherited disorder. Most concerns about genetic discrimination relate to discrimination by health insurance companies and by employers.
Signed into law in March 2010, PPACA contains several provisions that impact individuals and families affected by cancer:
• Coverage for those enrolled in clinical trials
Below are further details on relevant provisions:
Elimination of pre-existing conditions
PPACA eliminates the use of pre-existing conditions to deny or impose waiting periods on insurance coverage. In the interim, temporary high-risk pools (PCIPs), have been established at the state level or through federal-state partnerships to assist patients with pre-existing exclusions that limit coverage. According to healthcare.gov, 23 states and the District of Columbia elected to have their PCIP program administered by the federal government; 27 states have chosen to run their own programs.
Elimination of annual and lifetime limits
PPACA eliminates annual and lifetime limits on insurance coverage. PPACA bans insurance plans beginning on or after September 23, 2010 from cutting off policyholders when a lifetime benefit was reached. The law phases out annual limits over a period of three years and will completely ban annual caps on January 1, 2014.
Capping out-of-pocket healthcare expenditures
PPACA places caps on how much money insured people will have to spend out of their own pockets for healthcare services that are covered in the new law's essential health benefits package. These caps on out-of-pocket spending will go into effect in 2014. The out-of-pocket spending caps will follow a sliding scale: Those with lower and middle incomes will pay less out of pocket than those with higher incomes. The new caps guarantee that consumers will not have to pay more than a set amount annually in out-of-pocket expenses for covered services.
Coverage for those enrolled in clinical trials
The law requires health plans to pay the routine care costs of patients who participate in clinical trials for the prevention, detection and treatment of cancer and other life-threatening conditions.
For more information on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, visit healthcare.gov.
This information was prepared by the Cancer Legal Resource Center (CLRC). The CLRC is a national, joint program of the Disability Rights Legal Center and Loyola Law School Los Angeles. The CLRC provides free information and resources on cancer-related legal issues to cancer survivors, caregivers, health care professionals, employers, and others coping with cancer.
Overview: Coverage for preventative care
There are many preventative options for individuals with a genetic predisposition for breast and/or ovarian cancer. However, insurance coverage for these preventative services can vary greatly. There are some preventative services that insurance companies are required to cover. For other preventative services, insurance coverage can differ depending on the policy. If an insurance company refuses to cover the cost of a particular preventative service, an individual may appeal the insurance company's decision. There are certain legal requirements for the insurance appeals process.
What preventative services must an insurance company cover?
Federal law, and some state law, requires health insurance companies to provide certain preventative care. Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as health care reform, health insurance policies issued on or after March 23, 2010 must cover certain preventative services. These services must be covered free of cost to the patient. This means that if an individual uses an in-network provider to receive the services, the services must be exempt from deductibles and co-payments. Some examples of the preventative services that insurance companies must cover are BRCA counseling about genetic testing for women at high risk, mammography screenings every 1-2 years for women over 40, and chemoprevention counseling for women at higher risk. A complete list of preventative services can be found at Preventive Services Covered under the Affordable Care Act.
Additionally, many states have statutes that require insurance companies to cover specific cancer screening tests. For example, many states require coverage for mammography for breast cancer, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) tests and digital rectal exams for prostate cancer, colonoscopies, flexible sigmoidoscopy and fecal occult blood tests (FOBT) for colorectal cancer, and pap smears for cervical cancer. For state specific requirements contact your state's insurance agency or the Cancer Legal Resource Center (CLRC).
What option do I have if my insurance doesn't cover a treatment?
If an insurance company doesn't cover a treatment, an individual does have the right to appeal the decision. In the realm of preventative care, the insurance company may deny a claim because they argue that is not medically necessary for the insured patient. In that case, the individual can appeal the decision and try to prove that the preventative or prophylactic measure is medically necessary.
The first step that must be taken when appealing a health insurance decision is to follow the insurance company's internal appeals process. Health insurance companies are required to have an effective internal appeals process for any disagreements with their policy-holders. An individual can gain information about the internal appeals process on any claim denial form or in the insurance policy paperwork.
The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), the Patient Protection & Affordable Care Act (otherwise known as "Health care reform"), and various state laws govern insurance appeals. ERISA requires most health insurance companies to meet certain minimum requirements for internal appeals. For example, insurance companies under ERISA must provide at least 60 days after notice of a denial for an individual to appeal, allow individuals to add additional evidence during an appeal, provide an expedited review process for urgent care appeals, and have no more than two levels of appeals available before internal appeals are exhausted. Health care reform requires new health plans beginning on or after September 23, 2010 to have an effective review process that ensures a full and fair review of a denial. The requirements of health care reform are currently being established in the regulations. Contact the CLRC for current information regarding internal appeals.
An external appeals system may be an option if an individual's claim has been denied, even after going through an internal appeals process. In many states, individuals are required to exhaust their internal appeal rights before turning to the external appeals process.
After exhausting the internal appeals process, individuals can appeal through their state's external medical review program. These programs are also called independent medical review because it is a review of the health insurance company's decision by an outside, independent organization. The rules for external medical review vary from state to state. Most states allow external review in those instances when a claim is denied because it was found to be (1) not medically necessary or (2) experimental or investigational. Some employer-sponsored health insurance plans are self-funded. The external appeals processes for self-funded plans are rapidly changing due to the implementation of health care reform. Contact the CLRC for questions regarding insurance appeals and self-funded plans.
Because the state external review process is often available in cases where treatments were deemed not medically necessary, this process is an option for those seeking preventative or prophylactic treatment. If the individual can show that the preventative treatment is medically necessary, then there is a greater chance of winning the appeal. In this process, doctors and other health care professionals can be a huge help in presenting evidence that the treatment is medically necessary. If an external review finds in favor of the individual, that decision is generally binding on the insurance company, although the specific rules vary state by state.
Where can I go to get more information about insurance appeals?
For further information about insurance appeals, contact your state's insurance agency and your health insurance company. Additionally, healthcare.gov has information about health insurance appeals and health care reform. Finally, you can call the Cancer Legal Resource Center (CLRC) at (866) THE-CLRC (866-843-2572) for more information about federal and state-specific insurance laws.

The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) is federal legislation that prohibits health insurance and employment discrimination on the basis of genetic information or a genetic test result.
With regard to health insurance discrimination, the Act:
With regard to employment discrimination, the Act will:
Although many people cite fear of genetic discrimination as the reason they do not pursue genetic testing, documented cases of genetic discrimination are rare. However, a study published in the American Journal of Medical Genetics, the authors found that people with inherited disorders or inherited risk were very concerned about genetic discrimination. There is a perception on the part of the public and some health care providers that there is a significant risk of genetic discrimination, particularly in health insurance. This perception is keeping many people from taking advantage of genetic tests that could make a significant difference in their health care decisions and outcomes. This fear also prevents many people from becoming involved in the medical research that could provide better information and choices for those affected by hereditary diseases in the future. In one study done before GINA laws were enacted, researchers found that 39% of those surveyed listed fear of genetic discrimination as the most important reason for not pursuing genetic testing.
According to Dr. Francis Collins, director of the National Human Genome Research Institute, all diseases are affected by hereditary factors. "The study of the genome will reveal over the next decade the hereditary factors that contribute to virtually all common diseases, including diabetes, cancer, heart disease, mental illness, hypertension, and many others."
Therefore, anyone could be at risk for genetic discrimination. Family medical history could be considered "genetic information" and could be the basis for genetic discrimination even for someone who has never had genetic testing.
It is important for anyone considering genetic testing to weigh the potential benefit of a genetic test against the fear of discrimination, and it is important to base the decision whether or not to have genetic testing on credible and up-to-date information received from a genetics specialist.
HIPAA includes a privacy rule that requires health care professionals to notify you about your privacy rights and how your information can be used. The privacy rule provides for the release of your medical information (including genetic test results) for certain specified purposes, including the release to insurance companies for payment. However, in most instances, the privacy rule requires your permission before your health information can be shared with individuals or organizations. It is important to read and understand your health care providers' policies and any medical release forms before signing them.
Some states have genetic privacy laws which offer more protection. The laws vary on what information is protected, whether a separate release must be signed before information can be shared with certain third parties and what penalties (if any) apply for violations. Because laws are constantly changing, you may want to research the most current laws in your state
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) protects people with group health insurance against being denied insurance, having their insurance canceled, or having their rates individually increased due to any pre-existing condition. For HIPAA protection to apply, an individual must have had health insurance for at least 12 months without a lapse of 63 consecutive days or longer.
Although HIPAA prohibits discrimination against an individual with group insurance coverage based on any medical condition, it does not prohibit the insurance company from denying coverage to or increasing the rates of the entire group based on the medical records of one member of the group. HIPAA does not prevent insurance companies from requiring applicants to reveal whether they have had genetic testing in order to enroll in their group plans, even though the insurance companies are not allowed to use this information. Further, HIPAA laws do not provide protection to people covered by individual health insurance plans.
Every state defines genetic information differently and each state offers different protection forf genetic information. Most states have some laws to prevent insurance companies and employers from discriminating based on a hereditary risk for disease. However, not every state offers the same protections, and some states have not yet passed laws prohibiting genetic discrimination. You may want to research and understand how your state defines genetic information. The National Conference of State Legislatures has a state-by-state list of laws pertaining to genetic tests.
Because laws are constantly changing, you may want to research the most current laws by speaking with a genetics professional in your area.
Federal employees have additional protection. An executive order enacted in 2000 prohibits discrimination in federal employment based on genetic information. There are currently no federal laws providing adequate protection against life or disability insurance discrimination based on hereditary disease risk.
Anyone who feels that they have been subjected to discrimination by an insurance company based on genetic information can contact their state insurance commissioner's office.
Victims of genetic discrimination in the workplace can contact the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) which is the organization responsible for enforcing the Americans with Disabilities Act. The EEOC may be able to help some, but not all, applicants and employees who believe they have been subjected to genetic discrimination. Individuals who believe that they have faced discrimination on this basis should contact their local EEOC office. Local EEOC offices can be identified by consulting the Commission's website, the federal government listings in the telephone directory, or by calling a toll-free information number at (800) 669-4000 or (800) 669-6820 (TDD). Time frames control the filing of charges of employment discrimination. Private sector employees may have as little as 180 days from the date of the alleged discriminatory act to initiate a claim. Federal government employees must contact an EEO counselor at their agency within 45 days of the act of alleged discrimination.

The newly redistricted Michigan 13th Congressional district takes center stage in the upcoming August 7th Primary election.
For the first time in history the city of Detroit may not have a city resident as its representative in Congress.
According to a new poll exclusive to Fox 2, history may have to wait as long-time incumbent John Conyers appears to remain as a voter favorite.
Play the video #1 as Fox 2's Maurielle Lue provides an overview of the significance of the upcoming election. Play video # 2 to get analysis from pollsters Eric Foster and Tarek Baydoun. Alan Lee has them explain the meaning behind their poll data.
Read the poll results below:
Foster McCollum White Baydoun (FMW)B, a national public opinion polling and voter analytics consulting firm based in Michigan and representing the combined resources of Foster McCollum White & Associates (Troy Michigan) and Baydoun Consulting (Dearborn Michigan) conducted a telephone-automated polling random survey of Michigan registered and most likely August 2012 primary election voters in the 13th congressional district.
Question # 1: The 2012 Michigan 13th Congressional District Democratic Primary election will be held in August. Who are you most likely to vote for in the primary for US House of Representatives?

Raw 5 Spiced Lettuce Cups
This filling used a lot of ginger and some serrano chiles along with walnuts, turnips, basil, cilantro, carrots, 5 spice powder, garlic, shallots and lime juice.. oh and I used some stevia as well. The avocado and tomatoes brought everything together and this dish was very satifsying. I will definitely make it again.
Spicy Eggplant and Veggies
I had this for dinner a week or so ago.. super spicy eggplant, garlic, veggies, ginger, siracha, toatsed sesame oil.. If I remember right, I had a green smoothie with chia seeds as well that night.
Using leftovers, this salad was born. I adore arugula. It can hold its own with strong flavors and textures which makes for a very satisfying meal.
We got around a foot of snow last night are are due for more tomorrow. Perfect soup weather!
I've got eggplant that is begging to be used! I'm thinking I will make my tomato/eggplant/quinoa ... and this time I'll write down the recipe because it is sooo good!

Off the Chain Opinion
State health inspectors arrived in the city Friday morning to scrutinize the condition of the city's firehouses.
That's a good thing and a long time coming. Because what the inspectors will find is what you've already seen on FOX 2: feces gurgling up in basements, broken sewer pipes, cracked floors, leaking roofs and windows, battered gear, fire trucks with doors held shut with bungee cord. It's a disgrace and a national shame.
The conditions are so bad for Detroit firefighters and paramedics, they gladly allowed our camera into their workplaces to show you the awful truth.
And what is that awful truth? Decades of neglect and mismanagement have put the public and their servants in great danger.
And still, you call 911, and Detroit firefighters are there within minutes.
What took the state so long to come in? What finally got its attention? Not the pictures of filth so much. But rather, a silly confrontation between Deputy Fire Commissioner Fred Wheeler and me.
After leaving messages that went unreturned, I went to fire headquarters to ask why the houses had degraded to such a state.
The deputy commissioner cursed and slapped the microphone from my hand.
That got the mayor's attention and the deputy commissioner was dismissed for bad behavior and that, unfortunately, has become the story.
It shouldn't be. The story should be the public's welfare. The story should be the mishandling of public money. The story should be about correcting mistakes.
The story should be about firefighter Walt Harris, who suffocated in 2008 when a roof collapsed on him but his colleagues could not find him in time because his trigger alarm did not work.
The story should be about Ivory Ivey, the three-year-old who died in a house fire last year after a fire truck showed up but couldn't pump water.
This isn't just a problem for citizens of Detroit. If you come from the suburbs for dinner or a hockey game or the opera, you're a Detroiter. If you pay state taxes or a water bill, you're a Detroiter.
We're all in this together and poor governance is not our birthright. Demand better.

Cost of US presidential race officially passed record $2 billion, finance statements show
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The 2012 presidential election broke the $2 billion milestone in its final weeks, becoming the most expensive in American political history, according to final federal finance reports released Thursday. The reports detailed a last-minute cascade of money from mega-donors and an onslaught of spending by the Obama and Romney campaigns and "super" political action committees.
The final campaign finance tallies filed with the Federal Election Commission included nearly $86 million in fundraising for the losing presidential candidate, Republican Mitt Romney, in the election's last weeks. That final burst brought the Romney campaign's total for the election to above $1 billion. Final fundraising and spending totals for President Barack Obama's victorious drive also topped $1 billion.
Surpassing the $2 billion mark was long expected after an election season dominated by the supercharged competitive pressures that both campaigns faced in mounting massive fundraising blitzes to stoke expensive media ad battles and ground wars. The Obama and Romney campaigns each mobilized competing squads of ultra-wealthy fundraisers, sought aid from free-spending allied super PACs and deployed multimillion-dollar media broadsides and armies of organizers.
The final thrust of fundraising included a massive late surge of $33 million in donations to pro-Romney political committees from a single billionaire, Las Vegas casino owner Sheldon Adelson. In all, Adelson and his wife, Miriam, gave Romney and other Republican candidates $95 million during the election season, closing in on the gambling magnate's vow to give $100 million to GOP causes.
The new campaign finance filings covered the final few weeks of the race, when campaign organizations for Romney and Obama, along with a slew of super PACs, raised and spent millions toward the long-expected $2 billion milestone.
Egypt's president offers nothing to defuse political crisis after 6 die in clashes
CAIRO (AP) -- An angry Mohammed Morsi refused Thursday to call off a referendum on a disputed constitution that has sparked Egypt's worst political crisis in two years, drawing chants of "topple the regime!" from protesters who waved their shoes in contempt.
The Egyptian president's uncompromising stand came a night after thousands of his supporters and opponents fought pitched battles outside his Cairo palace, leaving at least six dead and 700 injured.
Speaking in a nationally televised address, Morsi accused some in the opposition of serving remnants of Hosni Mubarak's authoritarian regime and vowed he would never tolerate anyone working for the overthrow of his "legitimate" government.
That brought shouts of "the people want to topple the regime!" from the crowd of 30,000 Morsi opponents -- the same chant used in the protests that brought down Mubarak.
Morsi also invited the opposition to a "comprehensive and productive" dialogue starting Saturday at his presidential palace, but gave no sign that he might offer any meaningful concessions.
10 Things to Know for Friday
Your daily look at late-breaking news, upcoming events and stories that will be talked about Friday:
Morsi takes an uncompromising stand in a nationally televised address, while protesters plan another big rally Friday in Tahrir Square.
Raising Medicare age saves money for taxpayers but could lead to higher premiums for seniors
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Americans are living longer, and Republicans want to raise the Medicare eligibility age as part of any deal to reduce the government's huge deficits.
But what sounds like a prudent sacrifice for an aging society that must watch its budget could have some surprising consequences, including higher premiums for people on Medicare.
Unlike tax hikes, which spawn hard partisan divisions, increasing the Medicare age could help ease a budget compromise because President Barack Obama has previously been willing to consider it. A worried AARP, the seniors' lobby, is already running ads knocking down the idea as a quick fix that would cause long-term problems. House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., doesn't like it either.
But for Republicans seeking more than just tweaks to benefit programs, raising the current eligibility age of 65 has become a top priority, a symbol of their drive to rein in government. If Obama and the GOP can't agree soon on a budget outline, it may trigger tax increases and spending cuts that would threaten a fragile economic recovery.
Increasing the eligibility age to 67 would reduce Medicare spending by about 5 percent annually, compounding into hundreds of billions of dollars over time. But things aren't that simple.
Mich. lawmakers pass right-to-work legislation; police pepper-spray protesters inside Capitol
LANSING, Mich. (AP) -- Republicans slammed right-to-work legislation through the Michigan House and Senate Thursday, drawing raucous protests from throngs of stunned union supporters, whose outnumbered Democratic allies were powerless to stop it.
Just hours after they were introduced, both chambers approved measures prohibiting private unions from requiring that nonunion employees pay fees. The Senate quickly followed by voting to impose the same requirement on most public unions.
Although rumors had circulated for weeks that right-to-work measures might surface during the session's waning days, the speed with which the GOP-dominated Legislature acted Thursday caught many onlookers by surprise. Details of the bills weren't made publicly available until they were read aloud on both floors as debate began.
The chaos drew raucous protests from hundreds of union supporters, some of whom were pepper-sprayed by police when they tried to storm the Senate chamber.
Because of rules requiring a five-day delay between votes in the two chambers on the same legislation, final enactment could not take place until Tuesday at the earliest. Republican Gov. Rick Snyder, who previously had said repeatedly that right-to-work was "not on my agenda," told reporters Thursday he would sign the measures.
Towns washed away by deadly Philippine typhoon are filled with both resources and risk
NEW BATAAN, Philippines (AP) -- The Philippine government's geological hazard maps show why this farming community was largely washed away by a strong typhoon: "highly susceptible to flooding and landslides." That didn't stop some villagers from rebuilding even with bodies still lying under the mud.
Most of the about 420 people confirmed dead from Typhoon Bopha were killed in the steep valley that includes New Bataan, a town crisscrossed by rivers and cleared from lush hillsides by banana, coconut, cocoa and mango farmers in 1968. Flooding was so widespread here that places people thought were safe, including two emergency shelters, became among the deadliest.
In the impoverished Philippines, the jobless risk life and limb to feed their families and the government can do little beyond warning of the danger.
"It's not only an environmental issue, it's also a poverty issue," said Environment Secretary Ramon Paje. "The people would say, 'We are better off here. At least we have food to eat or money to buy food, even if it is risky.'
"But somehow we would like to protect their lives and if possible give them other sources of livelihood so that we can take them out of these permanent danger zones," Paje said.
DeMint, tea party instigator and unapologetic conservative, resigning his Carolina Senate seat
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Sen. Jim DeMint, patron saint of the tea party and a would-be Republican kingmaker, announced suddenly Thursday he would resign his South Carolina seat to head Washington's conservative Heritage Foundation think tank, a shift that reverberated through a soul-searching GOP.
Just two years into a second, six-year term, DeMint said he would step down on Jan. 1 to helm Heritage while continuing the conservative fight. The 61-year-old lawmaker, known to hurry home to South Carolina nearly every weekend, had signaled that this term would be his last, but his abrupt announcement shocked even his closest Republican colleagues.
"When he told me this morning, I about fell off my couch," said South Carolina's other senator, Republican Lindsey Graham. "I didn't see this coming."
Prizing ideology over electability, DeMint sometimes infuriated fellow Republicans, picking sides in GOP primaries with decidedly mixed results. He had no patience for centrist Republicans, pushing the party to the right while bankrolling candidates with millions from his political action committee, the Senate Conservatives Fund.
In 2010, candidates he ardently supported cost the GOP eminently winnable seats. This year, DeMint had better success.
Wash. State legalizes marijuana - questions and answers

Adults over the age of 21 can possess up to an ounce.
Official: Evidence indicates bodies in wildlife area are 2 Iowa cousins; autopsies pending
EVANSDALE, Iowa (AP) -- Northeast Iowa residents who have been holding out hope that two young cousins missing for five months might be home for Christmas were grappling Thursday with the news that hunters likely found the girls' bodies.
Autopsies by the state medical examiner's office were still under way, but the remains are believed to be those of Lyric Cook and Elizabeth Collins, who were 10 and 8 when they did not come back from riding their bikes July 13, Black Hawk County sheriff's Capt. Rick Abben said.
The girls' families were stunned by the news that two bodies were found, family friend Sara Curl, who has organized community events to support the families, said Thursday night.
"To be honest we have been trying to keep the positivity going so much this 100 percent blindsided us and it absolutely did them as well," she said. "I don't think that when they were called down there yesterday that they expected to hear the news that they did. so it's really going to take some time to process."
Curl helped organize a vigil for the families Thursday night around a Christmas tree decorated to honor the girls, hoping they would be home for the holiday.
Peyton Manning paces Broncos to 26-7 lead over Raiders after 3 quarters
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- Peyton Manning threw for 297 yards and a touchdown, Knowshon Moreno ran for 60 yards and another score and the Denver Broncos led the Oakland Raiders 26-7 after three quarters Thursday night.
Manning completed 24 of 33 passes to join Brett Favre as the only quarterbacks with 5,000 career completions. Manning reached the milestone in 239 games, while Favre took 221.
Matt Prater also kicked field goals of 43, 34, 33 and 20 yards as the Broncos built a commanding lead over their AFC West rival. Denver (9-3) was going for its eighth straight victory, while the Raiders (3-9) were looking to avoid a sixth straight loss.
Carson Palmer completed 14 of 22 passes for 167 yards, including a short touchdown throw to Darren McFadden for Oakland's only score. Palmer also threw an interception to Champ Bailey and fumbled at his own goal line, leading to 10 points for the Broncos.
Denver converted three straight third downs on its opening drive and took command from the start.

Comments On Sep 18, 2013:Money well spent. Old seat was torn with broken foam that was so flat there was no cusion at all. Might as well been sitting on plastic seat base which was broken also. Installed with no problems. Bolted right up. I'm over 6 ft. tall so I went with the tall height and it's perfect. Excellent upgrade for an older bike.

Comments On Sep 05, 2013:The fit of this seat on my bike was perfect. The seat is good looking, comfortable, and quality. At first it was on the hard side but after the first ride it softened. I would highly recommend replacing the stock unit with this product especially if your around 6ft tall.

Comments On Sep 04, 2013:I got a sorebutt with the stock seat and finally decided on this one. Ahhh much better! I can ride all day. I wouldn't say it was cushy and soft but it is so much better than a stock KTM seat.

Comments On Jun 28, 2013:If you are looking for any comfort at all from this seat you will be sorely dissapointed. Seat fit great but is hard as a rock. After 30 minutes of trail riding I already have deep muscle bruising. SDG has told me they offer diffrent foam densities but the one I got was definetly the harder foam. I have kept and used this seat for over a year now and I wear gell padded biker shorts and still get bruising that lasts 7 days after riding. Beware.

|Group photograph taken in hospital, including James Ryan
|Jim (bottom row, second from left) at Hospital in Cyprus on Christmas Day.
James Ryan was 6ft tall and looked older which was why he was accepted as a volunteer at just 16 years of age.
He joined the Royal Field Artillery as a Gunner (service no. 1385) and was mobilised on the 4th August 1914 from Southampton to Alexandria. He travelled to Cairo, Ismailia, Kantarah, Albania, Port Said and into Turkey, fighting in Gallipoli and the Dardanelles with the '1st/1st Brigade, Royal Field Artillery, 1/4th East Lancs. Battery, Mediterranean Expeditionary Force' (i.e. 213th Brigade, Royal Field Artillery, 42nd Division). Then eventually back to Alexandria, Cairo, Alexandria, Dardenelles, Cairo, Suez, Moses Well to Cairo. During this period he was hospitalised several times with slight knee injury from splinters from a shell burst, several severe attacks of dysentery and was seriously ill with jaundice which keep him in hospital for several weeks. He sailed to Cyprus to a Hospital in Limassol.
He was sent home to England at some point to his parents and young sister Edna, my mother- who will be 96 years old this July and remembers and still grieves for her brother ˜jim-jim'. A gap here in information, but he returned to action and fought in France and Belgium. He states in the attached letter that there isn't a bullet with his name on, which proved correct when Jim was killed by Mustard Gas on 30th September 1917 at the 3rd battle of Passchendale on the Menin Road (serving with 'B' Battery, 210th Brigade Royal Field Artillery, 42nd Division, as Acting Bombadier, no. 705469), and taken to the Mendingham dressing station. He is buried at the Mendingham cemetery where his headstone shows his age as 22yrs old which is incorrect as he had lied about his age when he volunteered.

Quilting is a craft or technique so old that its origins seem to stretch into deepest history. Basic quilting consists of two layers of outer fabric stitched over a lining of softer padding, although cord or thick thread can also be used to form the raised pattern. It was certainly known to the Romans, and the noun "quilt" is derived from the latin "culcita" meaning mattress filled with feathers or soft wool. In the Europe of the Middle Ages, quilting was much used for jerkins or vests worn under heavy armour, or as an actual padded lining to it. By the eighteenth century, quilted garments were popular for warmth and as protection against draughts. Women's decorative petticoats were particularly common, but also cloaks, caps and sleeveless bodices or jumps, as well as bed covers, men's waistcoats, children's caps and staybands and baby's robes. Some items were ready-made in workshops or by outworkers, particularly bed quilts and women's silk petticoats. The London Tradesman (1747) wrote that "quilted petticoats are made mostly by women, and some men, who are employed by the shops but earn little."
Designs tended to be either simple geometrics like diamond panes, or more fluid stylised flowers, leaves and feathers; and cotton, linen or silk could provide the outer layer. Sometimes quilted pieces could also be printed or painted to add another decorative veneer, as in the main image from a quilted cloak. In essence, it is a technique which perfectly marries the decorative with the practical.

I started my running career again in 2010 and at that time I was doing all of my running by myself. It was great to be running again, but the camaraderie was missing I had in high school. I didn't get to celebrate any of my running successes with any teammates.
After I went another year of running alone, I decided to join the Kalamazoo Area Runners in 2012. All it costs is $20 to join their group for a year and then I continue to renew my membership for the same price each year. The one thing I like about being part of KAR is their championship series. Each year KAR has a certain number of races (this year 40) where if I run in them I get a certain number of points depending on how my time stacks up verses the winners time. I really like the competitive nature and we are split up into age groups as well so everyone has a chance. Another plus is most of the championship series races offer discounts.
Another big benefit is KAR offers weekly runs during the midweek where runners of all different levels can get together and do what they love, run. These runs are casual as everyone chats with each other while we run. These are nice easy, long mileage runs. My first year I was a member I did not have the chance to participate in these weekly runs because of my work schedule, but this year I made it a priority to partake in the midweek runs. I have made many friends and we always have a great time running together. I look forward to these runs every week.
I cannot stress enough how great it feels to be a member of KAR. My running times have dropped significantly, I have enjoyed running a whole lot more, have made many friends, and have enjoyed many of the socials and award ceremonies they have put together. KAR has over 1,000 members and we are the biggest running community in Michigan.
There are so many more benefits for being a member of KAR, but I cannot name them all on here. You will have to check out there website to learn about more of their benefits.

LONDON (Reuters) - AstraZeneca's
Earnings will decline "significantly more than revenue" this year as operating costs rise, Britain's second biggest drugmaker said.
Chief Executive Pascal Soriot hopes eventually to turn the group around by investing in existing growth areas like emerging markets, diabetes care and the new heart drug Brilinta. He is also weighing the case for acquisitions.
Soriot, who joined from Roche
In a bid to clear the decks and give himself a free hand to set future direction, Soriot said he had withdrawn mid-term planning assumptions for revenue and profit margin set by previous management.
Sales in the fourth quarter of 2012 fell 16 percent to $7.28 billion, generating "core" earnings, which exclude certain items, down 3 percent at $1.56 a share. The slower decline in earnings reflected lower costs in the quarter and a favorable tax adjustment.
Industry analysts, on average, had forecast sales in the quarter of $7.20 billion and earnings of $1.35 a share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Faced with loss of exclusivity on once best-selling medicines and a thin pipeline of new drugs, Soriot needs to consider some bold moves to get AstraZeneca back on its feet.
But he has to tread carefully on new investment if he is to avoid disappointing investors who own the stock as an income play, given its near 6 percent dividend yield.
His decision to suspend share buybacks on his first day in the job four months ago immediately prompted speculation that he might embark on sizeable acquisitions.
AstraZeneca is not alone in facing big patent losses, but while rivals like GlaxoSmithKline
As a pure pharmaceuticals group, without the cushion of alternative revenue streams found at more diversified rivals, AstraZeneca is particularly exposed to patent losses on its key prescription drugs.
Short-term wins from the company's new drug pipeline look unlikely, with expectations for experimental rheumatoid arthritis drug fostamatinib dwindling after disappointing clinical trial results last month.
One established medicine that may surprise on the upside is diabetes drug Onglyza, which is marketed with Bristol-Myers Squibb
AstraZeneca shares have gained ground in recent months but the stock remains the laggard of the global pharmaceutical sector, trading on around 8.6 times expected earnings, a 30 percent discount to large British rival GSK.

There has been a lot of discussion recently about the end of the world, most of it around the date Dec. 21, 2012.
However, experts are saying it's best to still do your Christmas shopping as an apocalypse is not going to happen.
There is no evidence that Earth will be destroyed by a solar flare that day and scientists have not detected any planets likely to break Earth's orbit and bump against us. Those in the know are also saying that the end of the Mayan calendar does not portend any disaster.
"The best thing about this 2012 nonsense is it creates interest in the Mayan people," said Van Stone, an end-of-world debunker and professor at Southwestern College, in an interview with City News Service. "People can go down there and see what the Maya are really like."
Where did this debate come from?
According to a story on Yorkville Patch, there are several theories and predictions that call for Earth's demise on Dec. 21, 2012. They include:
- The ending of the Mayan calendar — The Mayans, according to a Sarasota Patch article, kept three separate calendars. The "long calendar" ends on Dec. 21. Some say this constitutes a doomsday prediction; it might go without saying, but, most do not.
- Nostradamus – That famed French seer from the 1500s has been credited with predicting several end-of-the-world scenarios that some believe will take place in 2012. The website December212012.com points to the potential sparking of World War III on this date.
- The collision of Earth and the supposed planet Nibiru – This supposed space catastrophe was initially predicted to strike in 2003. The planet in question was supposedly discovered by the Sumerians, according to NASA. When the world didn't end in 2003, the date was moved to December 2012 for the deadly collision with Earth.
The experts weigh in:
The growing concerns among some people over the end of the world predictions has prompted officials and experts to weigh in on the subject.
Even NASA put out a statement about all of the collective doomsday prophecies:
The world will not end in 2012. Our planet has been getting along just fine for more than 4 billion years, and credible scientists worldwide know of no threat associated with 2012.
Tampa Bay's New College Professor Gabrielle Vail said of the belief in impending apocalypse, according to Sarasota Patch:
There are many misconceptions about the Mayans. If you look at their calendar alone, the Mayans kept three calendars. The one that has prompted the end of the world predictions was their "long count calendar" — a 5,125 year calendar. The calendar began August 11, 3114 B.C. and ends Dec. 21, 2012.
She said the Mayans wrote about dates beyond Dec. 21, 2012 "well, well into the future, trillions of years." They also wrote about dates before the 5,125 year calendar began.
What do you think? Is the world ending in a few days or are you making sure to get those presents wrapped on time? Share your thoughts in the comments below!

A pet goldfish is off-the-hook and alive after a micro-surgery removes a tumor from his brain.
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine has launched a video contest that will give Ohio school students a chance to win up to $2,500 in college scholarships.
DeWine says the 2013 Take Action High School Video Contest allows students to showcase their talents while promoting important messages about consumer protection.
High school students in grades nine through 12 can enter the contest. They must create and upload a 60-second video on identity theft, scholarship/grant scams, online marketplace scams or business or government impostor scams.
The deadline to submit a video is Dec. 13. Winners will be announced in March 2014.
The top three winning individuals or teams will receive college scholarships of $2,500, $1,500, and $1,000, respectively. They also may be featured on the attorney general's website.
