279. Cancer And Carbs
Transcript Of Today's Episode
Announcer: You're listening to The Doctor Is In podcast brought to you by martinclinic.com. During the episode, the doctors share a lot of information. As awesome as the info, maybe it is not intended to diagnose, cure, treat, or prevent any disease. It's strictly for informational purposes.
Dr. Martin: Hey guys, so this is a headline that came out this week and I flagged it right away because, carbohydrates, okay, listen [00:00:30] to what I'm going to say carbohydrates increase the relative risk of colorectal cancer, which is an epidemic today. Colorectal cancer is one of the fastest developing cancers and fastest growing in terms of what it does in the population, fastest growing cancer. The number one cancer is still lung cancer. Okay? [00:01:00] But colorectal is just moving right up there. I think it's in the number two or three spot. It's just so common. I'm going to talk about that a little bit this morning. But the risk of dying... Carbohydrates, the relative risk of colorectal cancer is increased by 600% when you're a carbaholic.
Dr. Martin: Now, why didn't that hit the headlines of the [00:01:30] major media? I mean, folks, that's worse than smoking. It ain't the red meat. I've been telling you that for so many years. It ain't the red meat. Go online, go to 99% of all the Google searches and Google red meat, and you're going to see a link between red meat and colorectal cancer, never mind all the other negative stuff that they talk about. [00:02:00] It ain't the red meat.
Dr. Martin: Here's a study that comes out in the past week that says your risk, if you're a carbaholic, eating carbs increases your risk of colorectal cancer by 600%. Yes, it's the carbs. It's the sugar. I tell you, guys, it's just [00:02:30] incredible. But there's a narrative out there and it doesn't fit the narrative. So even the major media, I looked, I didn't see it, I didn't see it anywhere posted, this new study on colorectal cancer, which again, like I said, is an incredible cancer that, it's just, it seems that it's attacking our population like you would not believe. It's carbs, [00:03:00] it's sugar. Remember the PET scan, if you've got colorectal cancer, they put you in the PET scan. You take a glass of radioactive sugar, and then you light up like a Christmas tree. It's the carbs. Guys, why do you think I love the reset so much?
Dr. Martin: You know, people, they've asked me [00:03:30] a thousand times, "Doc, do you really mean red meat on this reset?" Yes. I mean it. "Isn't it dangerous?" No, son. The cereal companies, "Don't eat bacon and eggs. Eat our cereal." Cancer rates went through the roof. Because it ain't bacon and eggs and your butter, guys. It's the cereal and toast [00:04:00] with all the refined grains and whatever. Guys, I know I'm preaching to the choir this morning, but when these things come out and the media won't cover it, it doesn't fit their narrative. It doesn't fit their sponsorship from the cereal companies in the big food industry. The big food industry hates red meat. You know, they can barely [00:04:30] tolerate chicken, but guys, this ought to drive you crazy. It gets my blood pressure going. It gets my cortisol going, beacuse it's unreal.
Dr. Martin: That's why anybody to even think for five seconds they have cancer, should go on the reset for four weeks, zero carbs. It's amazing how many people want to negotiate with me [00:05:00] on carbohydrates, "Oh, doc, can I have a little bit of carbs?" No, you can't for four weeks. Stop the carbs, don't feed the cancer. It ain't the red meat guys. That's headline number one, and I'm going to preach it, and preach it, and preach it, because it's...
Dr. Martin: The poor cows. You know the environmentalists want the cows [00:05:30] out of business because of their flatulence, and the animal lovers want the cows out of business because they don't want you to eat anything with eyeballs. But guys, this is science, cancer, colorectal. "Oh, doc, I need my fiber. I've got to have my fiber to make my bowel..." No you don't. No, you don't. It's so [00:06:00] overrated. You'll do just fine. Your bowel actually, you know when I tell you on the reset that I'm sending your pancreas to Hawaii for four weeks, it's on a holiday. Some of you said, "Can I go with my pancreas to Hawaii?" But your pancreas, you're not using it, you're not using insulin for four weeks, like hardly a bit, not enough to even talk about. [00:06:30] But your gut is also getting a rest. It's getting a wonderful rest.
Dr. Martin: Why? Okay, why? There's more than three reasons, but I'm just going to reinforce it. I don't want for four weeks... People must think I'm crazy [inaudible 00:06:54] when I tell you this, but this is my experience, so I have to tell you my experience. [00:07:00] When you cut out fruits and vegetables for four weeks, now listen, I didn't say it's forever, but it's for four weeks. I've had people on the reset for two years. It's not that I was telling them they couldn't have any vegetables or whatever. I wasn't telling them that, that was only four weeks, but they felt so good. They're so scared to eat anything but eggs, meat and cheese. [00:07:30] They feel so good. So I said, "Well, keep on keeping on."
Dr. Martin: Like if you were an Eskimo living in the Arctic or whatever, you aren't eating a lot of vegetables. I don't think there's too many fruit grown on the trees that there's no trees anyways. They just don't eat that stuff. Now look, I'm not telling you it's no good. I'm just telling you there's three reasons why I don't want you to eat it. One of them really is, I want you to [00:08:00] lower your fiber for a bit. "You need fiber, Dr. Martin, because otherwise you're not going to go for a poo." You'll go for a poo when you need to. You might not go for a poo as often. So what? It actually settles your gut though, for people that have IBS and they go on the reset, they can't believe it.
Dr. Martin: Or diverticulosis. Diverticulosis is little [00:08:30] pouches in your gut, and I'll tell you, vegetables and fruit irritate that. Diverticulosis happens in women much more than men. Why? They too much salad. Chicken and salad, salad and chicken, chicken and salad. I said, "Quit eating all that salad. You don't have four stomachs." "Yeah, but doc, I love salad, especially if it's spinach and Caesar salad, and salad, salad." I know, [00:09:00] but you don't need it. How much nutrients do you think is in salad? But if you go online and Google, I don't know, salad and broccoli or whatever, they'll tell you this is the best stuff in the world, and don't eat red meat. It's craziness. It's craziness, guys. It's not true.
Dr. Martin: Isn't that an unbelievable headline? So cut the carbs out of your body, you don't need a lot of carbs. [00:09:30] It's always the answer. Anything that's negative in your body, it's always the answer. It's carbs and sugar, sugar, sugar, carbs. Hey guys, I don't care what kind of bread you eat, in five seconds it's going to be sugar. Any noodle, it's going to be sugar, it's sugar. And your insulin goes crazy, and your gut goes crazy, and you're feeding yeast inside of your gut with sugars. [00:10:00] There's always a little bit of yeast inside your gut. Don't feed the bears.
Dr. Martin: Okay, so isn't it crazy? Somebody said, "Does it have to be organic?" Well, no, it doesn't have to be organic. It's better if it's grass fed beef, 100%, you know, there's more omega3 in grass fed beef than there is in fish. And fish is good for you. "Oh doc, what about the mercury?" [00:10:30] Look, don't get the big fish, like tuna and that like, that's got more mercury in it. But your fish in Northern Ontario, or you get fish locally and especially the smaller fish, no, they're good for you. I have fish every day in a capsule because I don't like fish. Okay, I'm a big baby by the way, in case you guys didn't know that. Okay?
Dr. Martin: Look, I'm going against the grain. [00:11:00] You don't think I don't understand that. I feel like John the Baptist in the wilderness, crying in the wilderness alone, "Repent, turn around, change your mind. What you've been told isn't true." Right? It's not true. And especially in the day and age in which we live, especially in the day and age in which you live, [00:11:30] we live in a carb infested world. People are consuming 200 pounds of sugar a year. I mean, that's a dump truck unloading 200 pounds of sugar a year. It's added to everything. That's what's creating havoc in our society.
Dr. Martin: What did I say the other day about diabetes? That was another story that came out. [00:12:00] Let me tell you this, just because I want to tell you another headline this week, 80% of diabetics, this is kind of incredible, 80% of diabetics die of heart disease, 80%. If you're a diabetic, if you come into my office, you come into my office and you're a diabetic, I see it every day, I tell people, "You're on the Titanic, hello, [00:12:30] I'm trying to get your attention. 80% of diabetics die of a heart attack or stroke. That's what they die of." I was telling you the other day, diabetics, if you're a diabetic, you are 50% more likely to get Alzheimer's. Guys, this came out this week. 80% of diabetics die [00:13:00] of heart disease. What's the connection? It's the sugar in the bloodstream.
Dr. Martin: And I know you can get on medication like insulin and metformin and Glyburide and all these medication. But those medications don't fix your diabetes. They manage your diabetes, but they don't fix your diabetes. And 80% of the people that are diabetics are going to have a heart attack or stroke. [00:13:30] 80%! it's incredible. Who's talking about that? Who's telling you this? The mainstream media don't like it because, like I always tell you, there's two big industries in the world. They run the world, they run the world. Don't worry about politicians, guys, politicians are in these people's back pockets, bought and paid for. [00:14:00] Maybe you have, I haven't seen a politician stand up to these people. The pharmaceutical industry and the food industry, they own the world, they run it.
Dr. Martin: And I'm not a conspiracy person, I'm just telling you, and the news media Tao Tao to these people, they do. The pharmaceutical industry alone, for every politician in [00:14:30] the USA, I don't know what it's like in Canada, I had never seen this statistic, but for every politician, every assemblyman, every congressmen or people in the Senate in the United States, the pharmaceutical industry has two lobbyists for every one of them in Washington.
Dr. Martin: Well guys, diabetes is big business. I told you this the other day, this is another statistic just on diabetes, it [00:15:00] costs the American economy $1 trillion a year. That's twice the defense budget of the American government. The government spends $500 billion a year on defense. Okay? That's why the military is so big in the United States, it's a big thing, right? But it isn't anything to the diabetic, [00:15:30] what it costs for diabetes just to treat it in the US of A, it's $1 trillion. And they spend money that they don't even have. In Canada, we're no better. We're in such a deficit spending. I don't want to get into politics. I just want to tell you what's happening, guys.
Dr. Martin: The clear and present danger is not the environment. [00:16:00] It's not the climate, it's not. I'm not saying we shouldn't be good stewards of our earth, and I want clean air like you do and I want clean water just like you do. I do, I do, absolutely. I don't mind paying taxes for clean water and clean air. But folks, it costs the average household in Canada $13,000 a year for our healthcare. It's not free. [00:16:30] We don't have enough room in our hospitals in Canada. There's not enough tea in China to pay for it. No, but to pay for diabetes, just diabetes, and diabetes is a food disorder. That's why in the 1950s when I was a little boy, it only affected like one out of a 1,000, or 10,000; it's one out of two today, [00:17:00] because a lot of people, "Oh doc, I'm not a diabetic." I said, "Oh yeah, I just looked at your A1C, it's elevated."
Dr. Martin: And as Dr. Kraft, the one who did the most research on diabetes said, "No, you are already a diabetic. Don't wait until your doctor tells you, because when your doctor tells you that you're a diabetic, you're on the Titanic, and an inch away from hitting the iceberg." Look, you've been a diabetic for years. Diabetes doesn't come overnight. [00:17:30] "Oh doc, last week I wasn't a diabetic and today I'm a diabetic." No, you've been a diabetic for a long time. The last thing to occur is that your blood sugar got out of control.
Dr. Martin: And listen to me, I promised my good buddy, Dr. Troy Bennett in Newfoundland that I would talk about hypoglycemia, because hypoglycemia, guys, is still... You know, "Oh doc, I got trouble with low blood sugar. I'm a hundred miles away from being a diabetic." No you're not. [00:18:00] You might be as skinny as a rake and you're on your way to diabetes because you have high circulating insulin. "Oh doc, I never put on weight. Or my blood sugar's actually low. If I don't eat, my blood sugar goes down." Well, that's pre diabetic. You don't do well with carbohydrates even though you will take a carbohydrate.
Dr. Martin: I think I had somebody online asking me a question, can't remember if it was online or at the office yesterday, but somebody [00:18:30] asked me, "My sugars go so low..." Because they're on meds for diabetes, "that I take a glass of juice just to get them up." Oh no! Don't drink juice under any circumstances. Never have another glass of juice ever. I don't care what kind of juice it is. Now, you can have Dr. Martin's perfect smoothie, that's different because it isn't juice. [00:19:00] It's high protein and fat, because I get you to put 35% whipped cream in it. There aren't any carbs in it. Fat, cream. Cream's good for your brain, but it won't elevate your blood sugar, you see?
Dr. Martin: But if you got low blood sugar and hypoglycemia, you've got trouble with insulin. Insulin's job is to control your blood sugar by getting sugar out of your bloodstream and not [00:19:30] allowing your sugars to go too low either. And I know that's not good for you either, but it's always a problem of insulin. And insulin is a problem of carbohydrates. Freshly squeezed? No. "Oh, Dr. Martin it's Tropicana, it's full of fiber." Fiber, you ladies and your fiber. No. Why cream but not milk? You can live on meat. You can live on eggs [00:20:00] and cheese. There's a reason I pick all three, guys, because cream has no sugar. Cream has no carbs. "Can I use half and half, doc?" Well, I guess a little bit, but there's still a little bit of carbs in that. I don't want no carbs. Full organic milk. Well, read the label. I don't care if it's organic, it's better, but that is still full of sugar. They take the fat out of it. Milk is fat. [00:20:30] Go milk a cow. It's cream. I've never milked a cow, but all my farmer friends tell me that.
Dr. Martin: And by the way, you farmers, you owe me money. Send check. Why? Because I'm your best friend. Farmers, you owe me money. True or false, you do. I talk about you guys all the time. Get back to the farm and eat off the farm. Quit eating [00:21:00] in the middle aisles of your grocery stores. That's the food industry. Okay? Yeah. And don't drink milk unless you've got a cow in the backyard. Drink cream. You can have cream in your coffee. Don't have milk in your coffee. No, milk's not good for you. "Oh doc, I've got to have some almond milk." Why? Why have you got to have almond milk? Who told you that was good for you? Coconut [00:21:30] milk's pretty good for you. The real coconut milk. It's full of fat. Almond milk don't have enough fat in it for me. Okay?
Dr. Martin: Isn't that incredible? 80% of the diabetics are going to have a heart attack, 80%. you want to lower your risk if you're a diabetic? Well, stop being a diabetic. Four weeks reset. Send your pancreas to Hawaii and eat nothing but eggs, meat and cheese. No [00:22:00] negotiations. Eggs, meat and cheese. It's amazing what will happen to your body.
Dr. Martin: Guys, if you have not joined our Martin Clinic Facebook group, join. I'll tell you why. You will see testimonies in there, unbelievable. Okay? What happens to your body in four weeks. You want to do a detox? Empty your liver. And by the way, if [00:22:30] you're a diabetic, you've got trouble with your liver, not just your pancreas, your liver is in deep doodoo. You've got to clean out your liver, and you clean out your liver when you cut out your carbohydrates. You want to fix your kidneys? Stop eating carbs, it'll fix your kidneys. "Oh doc, I read online, I read it, I got protein in my urine, and that means I must be eating too much protein." No, it isn't, because you're eating too many [00:23:00] carbs, that's why you've got protein in your urine. It isn't protein.
Dr. Martin: See how I get my workout? I do these things and I get a workout. Okay? Do you know that my recipe used to be in the cancer clinic in Sudbury? Dr Martin's perfect smoothie used to be in the cancer clinic, because all the people that worked in there, a lot of the nurses and that that worked in the cancer clinic, loved [00:23:30] me and used to come and see me. And they would hand it out. I guess an oncologist got ahold of it, then he got really upset, "That Dr. Martin, he's such a quack." Yeah, I get that a lot, believe you me, I get it a lot. Okay?
Dr. Martin: Okay, I love you guys. If you have any questions, let me know. I love answering your questions. Okay, I got a little thing I want to talk [00:24:00] about. I want to talk about, red meat is acidic, no, it isn't. Guys, listen, I've got to slow my heart down because I get really uptight about this. For years and years and years, and even today, they'll tell you that when you eat red meat, you make your body acidic. That's not true. It's not true. Don't believe that [00:24:30] for one minute. Red meat does not make you acidic in your body.
Dr. Martin: It's like I tell people, well, let me give you an example, you have a tomato, acidic? "Oh yeah, it's acidic, doc, for sure." Yeah, but once it gets in your gut, your body releases sodium bicarbonate. You know what sodium bicarbonate is? Baking soda. Your body has baking soda. [00:25:00] So when you eat a tomato, it gets into your gut, your body releases baking soda to make it alkaline. That's why tomatoes, not on the reset, but tomatoes are good for you, right? They have lycopine, that's so good for you. But tomatoes are not acidic once they get into your gut, your body knows how to take a tomato [00:25:30] and make it alkaline, by pouring out baking soda.
Dr. Martin: You're fearfully and wonderfully made, so when you eat a piece of steak, your body releases baking soda to make it alkaline and it's so good for you. The only acidic food that's acidic once it gets into your system is sugar, [00:26:00] that's acidic, sugar's acidic, and it don't turn alkaline in your system. That's why it's another reason why it's so poisonous. I know, you read it online, you read it online in Gene, lots of studies. Yeah. What are they? What kind of studies are they?
Dr. Martin: Okay. I always tell people, "Look, they are observational studies," meaning that, [00:26:30] certain amount of people have cancer. What did you eat for last five years? Guys, I can hardly remember what I ate last night. Nevermind what I've been eating for five years. "Oh, I had hot dogs." Yeah, but what they don't take into account, "I was drinking alcohol. I smoked like a fiend. I did no exercise." And they blame [00:27:00] the hot dog when they should be blaming the bun. I'm telling you, look, okay guys, I know some of you on there, some of you are out there, don't believe it. Okay, isn't that wonderful? We live in a free country. Isn't it wonderful? I can come online and give you my opinion. You might not agree with it.
Dr. Martin: I always tell people, because I get a lot of researchers disagree with Dr. Martin. "Oh, Dr. Martin, you're a quack." You know, the researchers, they work [00:27:30] with mice. I work with people. Yeah, I'm a clinician. I'm not a researcher. I know I'm VP of research at the Martin Clinic, but I'm a clinician. I see people. Those people in the lab, they see mice and they make these conclusions. I'm not saying they're always wrong. I'm not saying that. I had a guy sort of giving me a hard time the other day, you know, "I can eat whatever I want and I'm built like a [00:28:00] truck," and whatever. I said, "Man, well, you don't represent the population that I see. The population I see come in, and metabolically, they're upside down. They've got high blood sugar, they've got fatty liver, they've got high blood pressure, their thyroid's not working, their adrenals are not working, they've got belly fat, they've got all sorts of problems going on."
Dr. Martin: And I said, !I don't deal with the five star athlete [00:28:30] that works out 24 hours a day and is as disciplined as I'll get out. Those are usually not my typical patient." I'm a clinician. I'm telling you what red meat does for you and how good it is for you, and it isn't acidic, it's not, it doesn't make you acidic, it actually makes you alkaline. That's why I love you. You question. I got no problem with that. Okay? I got no problem with that. You [00:29:00] question me. I'm going to try and defend my position till the cows come home. Remember farmers, you owe me the cows. Remember I used the cows come home. Okay, I love you guys. I've been doing this for too long, 45 years and I have been a low carb guy for as long as I have been around. So there you go. Love you guys. Talk to you soon. Join the Martin Clinic Facebook group, if you're not on it. Love you.

Hammie Nixon fue un armonicista y cantante de blues, originario de Brownsville, Tennessee, donde nació el 22 de enero de 1908 y falleció el 17 de agosto de 1984.

Historia
Huérfano de padre desde muy joven, su madre lo dejó bajo la tutela de Sleepy John Estes, quien lo educó y lo convirtió en su acompañante musical. Estuvo junto con Estes, hasta la muerte de este, en 1977. Con él grabó un gran número de discos, y compartió grupo con Sonny Boy Williamson I. Con el tiempo, se casó con la hija de Estes y, tras su fallecimiento, continuó actuando en solitario.

Estilo
Tocaba la armónica en la forma tradicional, es decir, en la llamada primera posición, renunciando de forma expresa a la técnica de la segunda posición, que se convirtió en la generalizada tras los cambios del blues de Chicago. Esto le daba un toque rural muy pronunciado.

So how do you decide who is going to partner up with you through this exciting real estate adventure? It's completely your decision, but on that note let me briefly introduce myself.
Saskatoon has been my home for over 20 years. I have seen this beautiful city grow and adapt quickly to many changes. I will be honest -- I love the Saskatchewan summers and fall but could do without our record setting winters :)!!! I started my real estate career in the custom home building business. It was amazing to assist clients with their custom home, literally from the ground up. Everything from lot selection and blue print design to interior design and finally inspection on the completed home. Such an amazing experience and what an advantage I had when I became a licensed REALTOR®. I am licensed in Residential, Commercial and Farm Real Estate. Everyday is a new adventure, and I could not imagine doing anything else. My business is 80% referrals from past clients and associates. My goal is to educate, guide and protect each and every client but to also make this the most stress free and fun real estate experience they will ever have. Yes, I did say fun!
Please feel free to contact me regarding any real estate questions or concerns you may have. Whether you are buying or selling your 1st or 15th property, CALL ME NOW and let's chat about how we can work together to get that done promptly, professionally, and enjoy a few laughs along the way!


The Van is a late R reg put will in due course have a personalised plate fitted. The interior upgrade is going to include initially full insulation and sound proofing, complete with custom made interior panels and roof lining. The front seats will be fitted with swivel bases and eventually be replaced with either JGC leather seats or Lexus leather seats. The rear of the van will also house a couple of high output leisure batteries and a number of 12v power sockets. It will also have a 1000 watt mains inverter to power things such as a Wifi network and laptops.
One of the jobs will to also install two pop top sunroofs, which will be heavily tinted. I shall also probably fit chequer plate to the roof rack to enable it to be used as an observation platform. As well as reflecting alot of the sunlight away from the roof top, which will hopefully keep the van cooler. Check Back Soon for more updates.

Home Latest Adamawa Guber Candidate Drags Buhari to Court over Insecurity
Adamawa Guber Candidate Drags Buhari to Court over Insecurity
Seeks sack of service chiefs, N100bn compensation for victims

The candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) in the 2019 governorship election in Adamawa State, Alhaji Said Uba, has dragged President Muhammadu Buhari before the Federal High Court in Abuja, seeking an order of the court to compel the president to sack all service chiefs for their alleged failure to curb insecurity in the country.
Uba, who sued Buhari on behalf of himself and the affected victims of insecurity in the northern region, is also praying the court to order the federal government to pay a whopping sum of N100 billion as damages to the victims.
In the suit instituted in Abuja, the AAC governorship candidate contended that the law making protection of lives and property as a major function of Buhari has been grossly violated as occasioned by the alarming rate of insecurity.
Apart from Buhari, other defendants in the court action marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/625/2020; are the Attorney General of the Federation, National Assembly, Senate President, Chief of Army staff, Chief of Naval Staff, Chief of Air Staff and the Inspector General of Police as 1st to 8th respondents respectively.
Uba is seeking the following reliefs from the court: A declaration that the respondents have failed in their responsibility to protect the lives and properties of Nigerian Citizens which led to the deprivation of lives and indiscriminate destruction of properties in the country.
"A declaration that the rights of the citizens to movement as enshrined in section 37 of the Constitution has been hampered due to the failure of the respondents to adequately address the insecurity challenges in almost every part of the country thereby restricting free movement.
"A declaration that the continuing bombing of the citizens properties particularly in the northern part of the country without curbing or putting an end by the respondents is a gross violation of the rights of citizens to own properties.
"An order directing the 1st respondent to immediately relief the 5th to 7th respondents of their duties for their inability to curb insecurity which is claiming lives and destroying properties of citizens.
"An order directing each of the 1st to 8 respondents to tender a written apology to the Applicant within seven days of the granting of this order in three major national dailies.
"An order directing the respondents to pay the sum of N100 billion jointly and severally to the applicant as aggravated and exemplary damages for the unwarranted killing, kidnapping, banditry, inconveniences which the Applicant is still being subjected to by the incompetence of respondents.
In a 26 paragraph affidavit in support of the originating summon, the plaintiff averred that thousands of people were killed, maimed and injured as a result of the inability to ensure safety of lives and properties as guaranteed by the Constitution.
He further averred that another hundreds of thousands were displaced from their ancestral homes in the northern region due to acts of terrorism and banditry occasioned by the inability of the respondents to give effect to the constitutional provisions.
The matter comes up on March 18, 2021.

Don't you have enough money and time to pay for a therapist or a doctor? How do you feel about having a home ultrasound machine that can enhance your physical therapy experience? Absolutely great!
A home ultrasound machine is one of the newest technological innovations, which can help you get relief from various body pains, enhance your overall physical therapy experience, and at the same time maintain the privacy of your home.
If you are still thinking about whether you should buy this machine or not, then read this post to explore the amazing benefits of a home ultrasound machine!
Home ultrasound is the process of a therapeutic ultrasound through the use of a home or portable ultrasound machine. This process of medical ultrasound therapy is great to alleviate various kinds of physical therapy and pain relief.
What is a Home Ultrasound Machine?
In most of the cases, doctors use ultrasound therapy in order to cure the pain of various body parts. Such therapy is practiced with an ultrasound machine. During this therapy, ultrasound energy is transferred based on the power output and frequency of the ultrasonic waves, which is created by an ultrasound device or machine.
If you don't have enough time to get the therapy done at a hospital or a clinic then it is possible to practice on at your home with the help of a home ultrasound machine. Usually, the machine operates between 1-5 megahertz. But there are some machines that utilize pulse waves offered similarly in a doctor's place.
Since you may use a home ultrasound machine more frequently than you would get the therapy done at a therapist's office. But the good thing is that the results availed are almost the same. You can use this machine to alleviate pain from muscles, relieve tendons like frozen shoulder, arthritis, sprains, and strains.
The home ultrasound machine has numerous benefits.
Ultrasound machines generate heat through vibrations released by the sound waves. When vibration of tissues occurs then this increases friction down to the molecular level. As a result, the temperature of targeted tissues increases. Hence, it leads to deeper penetration of the sound waves into musculature or joint tissues.
The home ultrasound machines are available in a range of frequencies, which can be used to target different depths. For this reason, it is possible to target the exact area and get long-term relief from ailments such as phantom limb pain and osteoarthritis.
The deeper heat generated by home ultrasound machines is great to relax a strained or tense muscle. This heat works great to reduce muscle spasms and even reduce the recovery period associated with injury or tension. In addition to this, it even offers the advantage of enhancing the range of motion.
With deep heat released by an ultrasound machine, it is possible to have a great healing effect on deeply damaged tissues. It is because ultrasound machines affect the metabolism of soft cells to a great extent.
Additionally, such cells develop higher reception to healing fluids that are present in the augmented blood flow level generated by an ultrasound machine. Hence, ultrasound machines are great to heal soft tissue lesions and surgical wounds.
Another advantage of a home ultrasound machine is its acoustic effect. These machines generate ultrasound vibrations within the cells of soft tissues. Such micro vibrations create an effect on the fibers which form scar tissue. It also generates thermal effects that can break up scar tissue and also enhance the range of motion.
Using ultrasound therapy can prevent the formation of scar tissue to a great extent. Even, it can help in to break some scar tissues. You can use ultrasound machines to get rid of episiotomy scars that are caused by excessive scarring in the palm tissues.
The mechanical effect of a home ultrasound machine can control pain as well. It can reduce muscle spasms and tightness of the muscle and promote tissue healing. But in addition to this, the combined healing and heating powers of an ultrasound machine can prepare muscles for various therapeutic treatments to reduce pain including strengthening and stretching.
Ultrasound therapy is a safe treatment and ultrasound home machines are great to provide heat to deep structures within the body and practice this amazing therapy right at your home. This way, you can improve the way your body heals and that too without making frequent visits to a therapist or doctor and without paying expensive doctor's fee.
But you can avail all the benefits of an ultrasound machine only if you purchase a high-quality one. So, check here https://bestrateddocs.com/best-ultrasound-machine/ the best home ultrasound machines in order to get the best ultrasound treatment without burdening your pocket.

RawrGirl likes the show. She likes Jillian. She likes how much the trainers care and the snippets of when they get to the core of why a person is overweight. It's also very motivational because RawrGirl always lifts weights when she watches, so it's a longer workout on those days, lol.
I like it. Favorite seasons are 4, 5, 7, 11.

I stopped watching after a few seasons, because it started to feel like the main message was becoming "fat people are lazy, crazy, worthless pieces of $#@T, that deserve to be treated like subhuman garbage, because that's what they are - and only severe mental and physical abuse AND steady weight losses of 15 lbs a week can possibly redeem them."
I've been away from the show for five years or more, and when I saw this thread, I thought maybe I had overreacted, or that maybe the show had changed for the better (or at least had stopped getting more dangerous and brutal every season).
Then I read the article in the OP, and am thinking, I've not nearly been opposed enough. I mean, come on, contestants peeing blood? How is that admirable in any way, except in a culture where obesity is so villified, that anything: physical abuse, mental torture, and even death and self-maiming, is considered an acceptable cost in the pursuit of slimness.

Totally agree, its a competition first and foremost though so you need to look at it like that rather than as a weight loss show. We have our own weight loss show here, no one gets voted off, everyone stays at home doing their own thing for the duration and no one is expected to be ultra slim by the end. That is the way it should be done.
I have always looked at it as somewhat demeaning, but to each their own.
I've always felt that when you have these people regularly posting 6, 8, even 12 lbs lost each week, it gives people an unrealistic view of what they can expect. I was a on a very low calorie, medically supervised diet, and exercising and I still only lost 2-3 lbs a week.
See, this is exactly why it gives people the wrong idea about a good speed of weight loss - 2-3 lb/week is actually very fast weight loss! There's no "only" about it! I lost a lot of weight a few years ago at a rate of 1 lb/week, and thought that was about an average speed. I remember reading that average speed is actually more like 1/2 lb/week. Slow weight loss is easier to carry out, which means that it's easier to stick with and messes with your head less. The more we tell people that it's only worth doing if it's massive amounts of weight lost each week, the likelier they are to give up when that doesn't happen, and to feel miserable about the whole business.
I am not a big fan. I agree that it gives unrealistic expectations of how much you can lose per week. I also think they are demeaning to the people on the show.
Catching up with this thread. Love the way you see it, aryastark.

The first time I ever heard about Barack Obama was when he was introduced as the keynote speaker at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. I was watching the coverage because my home state governor, Jennifer Granholm from Michigan, was scheduled to speak.
I confess, I was half-paying attention and doing other things at home while I waited for the Governor to come on. And then I heard Barack Obama start speaking. I don't remember his exact words, but whatever Mr. Obama said literally reached out from the television, grabbed my attention and never let go.
Barack Obama speaking at the 2004 Democratic National Convention.
I knew from that day forward that Mr. Obama would be president. In fact, I started saying that to people, many who didn't even know who he was yet.
When his book, Dreams from My Father came out, I bought it and set it aside to take on vacation with me to Martha's Vineyard, an island off the coast of Massachusetts when I had visited a number of times before.
My copy of Obama's first book that I took with me on vacation to Oak Bluffs, MA.
Once we arrived on the Vineyard and checked into our old – but cute little house in the town of Oak Bluffs, we headed over to Nancy's – our favorite fried fish and clams hangout in the harbor. As we sat outside at the picnic tables eating and people-watching, I was shocked to look over and see Mr. Obama and his family walking down the sidewalk.
And would you believe I had his book in my purse!
But the unwritten rule on the Vineyard is "no bothering" celebrities who are there on vacation. In all my times visiting there, I'd never broken the rule so it didn't even occur to me to rush over and try to get an autograph. Instead I read Mr. Obama's book over vacation and was glad I had taken the time to learn more about him.
Lighten up. This is the man who will be the first Black president of the United States.
President Obama's autograph to me.
*In case you didn't know, POTUS is short for President of the United States.

Home › FAQ › In What Instances Will an Application Fee for Colleges Be Waived?
When you're applying to school, you might be asking if there are instances where an application fee for colleges can be waived. After all, application fees can add up in no time, and some universities charge $40 or more to apply for a program. Fortunately, there are several times when you might not have to pay the fee depending on your financial need and other factors. Schools throughout the United States will waive an application fee in an effort to draw more candidates and prevent financial barriers to education. Sometimes, all you need to do is ask.
Colleges don't have to accept the fee waiver form, but it's likely that a student who can demonstrate financial need will be eligible for an application fee waiver. There are a variety of resources available to students who have limited income.
More and more traditional admissions procedures have been replaced or modified using virtual application portals. Some schools waive their application fees for online applicants, most likely because it costs much less to process an online application than it does to read through a paper packet. You don't even need to be applying to an online program to take advantage of this feature. Check with the schools you're interested in to see if they waive the fee for online applicants.
For students who aren't first-time applicants, those who don't qualify for financial needs-based waivers or those without access to other fee waiver options, there's always the option to ask for assistance. According to U.S. News and World Report, many universities are more than willing to adjust or waive application fees for people who know someone at the school, attend on-campus tours beforehand, sit for an interview with an admissions counselor or simply ask. Taking the initiative to ask for an application fee waiver demonstrates a student's commitment to attending college, and assertive applicants are often rewarded.
Keep in mind that most colleges will only waive their application fees for traditional, first-time students straight out of high school or those who have never attended college before. However, some schools waive their fees for nontraditional students such as veterans because they want to attract different demographics. Students will find that certain schools are more willing to accommodate their needs than others. In any case, it never hurts to ask admissions offices about instances where an application fee for colleges can be waived.

Secret Trusts
This chapter explains:
Functioning of Secret Trusts
Full Secret Trust
Half Secret Trust
Important Terms used in this chapter
Parties to a Secret Trust
Settlor/Testator: The person Who sets up a secret trust.
Secret Trustee: Who promises to hold the property for someone else's benefit. (Secret Beneficiaries)
Secret Beneficiary: For whose benefit, the trust is created/declared/imposed.
A testator may make a gift which is absolute on the face of his/her Will, but where it is actually intended that the person should hold the gift on trust for a someone else, a secret beneficiary.
Secret Trusts are formed for a number of reasons. Most commonly they are used to provide for illegitimate children, mistresses, tax avoidance, to hide the identity of the true beneficiary but most importantly, they are formed where a person tries to dispose of their property or sets up a trust orally and ignore the requirements of a written will. (please refer to Wills and Probate Chapter).
Courts have regarded the breaking of a promise by the secret trustee as "fraud" and have enforced secret promises made by secret trustees by imposing a trust on the trustees. However, despite the difficulty and lack of writing, courts have enforced these oral promises in order to prevent Fraud.
Alan appointed his friend Billy as trustee and advised him orally that on his death his house must go to his mistress, £50, 000 at Barclay's bank to his illegitimate son Brando and £200,000 to his illegitimate son Collie. Alan then transfers his property to Billy. This will be a secret trust as nobody except Billy knows that the property is not for him to keep, but to pass on to the secret beneficiaries.
Secret trusts do not fully comply with the writing requirements of the Will Act 1837. They work outside of the rules of Will.
Section 15 of the Wills Act states that the person who has witnessed a will cannot be a beneficiary, however under a secret trust the witness if he is also secret beneficiary (which he/she may not be aware of the fact at that particular time that he/she is a beneficiary) can have the property left for him under a secret trust.
Adam signed a will made by John as a witness. However, upon the death of John, it was discovered that he has been left £100,000 under a secret trust to Adam. He can claim the money as a secret beneficiary. Under the rules of Will Adam is not allowed to take the money, but under secret trust he does.
To set up a secret trust there are three conditions to be fulfilled. These are as follows
Intention (Settlor) to set up a secret trust
Communication (Settlor) of secret trust to Secret Trustee
Acceptance of the obligation by Secret Trustee
A fully secret trust exists where:
There is an outright legacy/gift on the face of a will
The existence of the trust and the identity of the beneficiary are communicated to the secret trustee during the testator's lifetime
The secret trustee accepts these obligations, expressly or impliedly
The wording of the will indicates that the property is left to the "secret trustee". On the face of the will the term clearly suggests an outright gift, however, the secret trustee knows that the gift is not intended for him/her and he is a secret trustee. It binds the conscience of the secret trustee as it may prove difficult for the secret beneficiary to enforce the trust. Burdon of proof is on the secret beneficiary to prove that a secret trust exists. It is important to note that the standard of proof that a trust was intended is the balance of probabilities.
Simon wanted to provide for his son Mike and Mistress Mischa and his will states
£50,000 to my friend Harris
My BMW car to Sarah
As you can see from the above example, there is no inclination or hint that it is a secret trust. But Harris and Sara may have been communicated and accepted the obligation separately or in private to hold the property not as an outright gift but as trustees for Mike and Mischa.
There must be a clear intention on behalf of Settlor to form a trust.
Communication to Secret Trustee
Communication may be oral or in writing
Communication of secret trust to secret trustee must be made during the lifetime of the testator (settlor who is dead now)
If the intended trustee came to know about the gift after the death of Settlor, there is no trust and supposed trustee takes the property absolutely
In addition to the creation of the trust, the actual terms of the trust must also be communicated during Testator's Lifetime
Communication in an envelope not to be opened until after the testator's death will suffice if it is known to contain the terms of the trust and is accepted as such
£50,000 to my friend Harris (Harris only came to know after the death of Simon that he is a secret trustee. In such case Harris takes £50,000 and he is under no obligation to transfer the money to the secret beneficiary).
My BMW car to Sarah (Sarah was communicated during the life of Simon that the BMW is for Simon's son, Sarah is bound by her conscience and will be forced to transfer or handover the BMW to Mike as he was the intended beneficiary and she agreed to such arrangement)
Acceptance of Obligations
The secret trustee must agree to carry out the secret trust.
Acceptance may be express or by acquiescence.
Silence can be a valid acceptance
The wording of the will indicates that there is a trust, they are not completely secret. The trustees are named in the will. A trust is declared in the will. It is only the terms of the gift and the identity of the beneficiary which remains secret. (unlike a full secret trust which simply provides for an outright gift). As the secret trustee is named in Half Secret Trust so he cannot keep the property for himself.
£50,000 to my friend Harris to hold upon a trust and disposed of to a person as notified by me to Harris.
My BMW car to Sarah to keep as trustee and distribute to such person as I have notified to Sarah separately.
In both examples, there is a clear declaration of Trust, it is only the identity of the beneficiary and any terms are not disclosed and kept secret.
For a valid Half Secret Trust, the Testator must have an intention like full secret trust, there must be acceptance of the trust from the trustees and the acceptance must be Communicated to the settlor.
The communication of the half-secret trust obligations must be done before or at the time of making a will. (unlike full secret trust which is during the lifetime of testator)
If the communication is made after the writing of the will, there will be no trust and the trustees will hold the property on resulting trust for the Estate of deceased (Testator).
£50,000 to my friend Harris to hold upon a trust and disposed of to a person as notified by me to Harris (but Simon failed to inform Harris before or at the time of will). There will be no Trust at all and £50,000 will go to the estate of Simon.
My BMW car to Sarah to keep as trustee and distribute to such person as I have notified to Sarah separately. (Sarah came to know about half secret trust after the death of Simon, again there will be no trust and BMW will go to estate of Simon)
Changes to Secret Trust
Any changes to a secret trust are permitted as long as they are communicated in the proper way to the secret trustees, which will allow the secret trustees either to accept further obligations or reject them.
Simon wanted to provide for his son Mike and Mistress Mischa. His will states £50,000 to Harris. (Now he wants to increase the cash from £50,000 to £100,000 and does not want to give away BMW, terms of his new will are as follows
£100,000 to my friend Harris to hold upon a trust and disposed of to a person as notified by me to Harris.
My CD collection and paintings to Sarah to keep as trustee and distribute to such person as I have notified to Sarah separately.
These new terms must be communicated and should be accepted in lines with the rules on communication and acceptance mentioned above, in order to be valid. If they are not communicated and accepted then the trustees in a half-secret trust will only transfer £50,000 to the secret beneficiary and the remaining £50,000 will go to the estate of Simon.
If it is full secret trust, the secret trustee will only transfer £50,000 and will keep the remaining £50,000 for his self as he is only aware of £50,000 and only plausible explanation could be that the testator (Simon who is dead now) wanted Harris to keep the remaining £50,000.
Settlor: Person who sets up a trust while he is alive.
Testator: Person who had established a trust but is now dead.
Trustees: who hold the legal title of the property in order to transfer it to the beneficiary or distribute the trust property to the beneficiary as per the instruction of Settlor/Trustee.

Claudius August Wiinholt (24. august 1855 i Røved, Ødum Sogn – 19. september 1905 i Sparkær) var en dansk arkitekt, der har tegnet mange kirker i Midt- og Vestjylland i historicistisk stil. Arkitekten Frits P. Wiinholt var hans nevø.

Wiinholt var søn af landvæsenskommissær, proprietær Frits Erik Bang Wiinholt og Maren Anthony Munk. Han kom i skibsbygnings- og karetmagerlære i Randers, blev tømrersvend 1873, gik dernæst på C.V. Nielsens tegneskole i København. Han gik på Kunstakademiet i tidsrummet 1876-1885. Wiinholt var undervejs ansat hos Fritz Uldall, Randers, var konduktør hos Ferdinand Meldahl, hos H.B. Storck ved restaureringen af Hee Kirke 1882-84 og opførelsen af Abel Cathrines Stiftelse i København 1886. Han modtog K.A. Larssens Legat 1893.

Wiinholt drev egen tegnestue i Viborg fra 1888 (overtaget efter Hother Paludan) og i kompagniskab med Andreas Hagerup i Viborg 1889-1892. Fra 1896 var han arkitekt i København, men havde stadig opgaver i Jylland. Han var lærer ved Teknisk Skole i Viborg fra 1888 og forstander fra 1895.

Han blev gift 20. oktober 1890 i Rindum med Ragna Marie Rahbek (18. marts 1861 på Nørre Karstoft, Skarrild Sogn – 3. september 1892 samme sted), datter af proprietær Christian Johan Lodbjerg R. og Sophie Charlotte Julie Koefoed. Han er begravet på Viborg Kirkegård.

Knowledge Gaps
Business Development and Capture teams have a variety of knowledge gaps and questions which need to be answered to qualify opportunities and put together winning bids. Customer intimacy and agency priorities, opportunity intelligence and incumbent performance, solutioning and technical inputs — all of these gaps need to be filled and the likelihood of any one consultant or SME being able to address all of these needs is slim at best.
Stop Looking for Purple Unicorns
Instead of looking for a "purple unicorn" who can address every single question a capture team will have, engaging multiple SMEs can help your team get better insights, faster. OnFrontiers helps connect you with the right mosaic of experts who can answer your questions from different angles, allowing for a specialization of knowledge and more efficient pursuits.

HATARAQQ Delivers That Mid-West Sound
HATARAQQ is an upcoming artist who got his name from an 80's sci-fi movie, "Dune." It was the first movie he remembered sitting down and watching from beginning to end with his father. Born and raised in Kansas City, Missouri, HATARAQQ delivers that Mid-West sound where he discusses his lifestyle, personal experiences, and creativity. He is currently working on new music and you can get to know him below!
What is your genre?
SOUNDSPLASH Hip-Hop
How would you describe tout sound to someone who hasn't heard your music yet?
I would describe my sound as Hip-Hop Overture, boom bap, funk, instrumental vibrations.
What is your creative process when making your music?
I start my creative process with an internal seeking of vibrations, I use my mind's internal ear/eye and try to articulate the sounds and grooves that come in the form of sounds, cadence, color. I call it Soundsplash.
What do you enjoy the most about being an artist?
Being a musician, I enjoy the process of creating. I like to see something come out of nothing and feel honored to be involved in the process.
What impact would you like to make with your music?
The impact of social media in regard to the music business, in my opinion, has served its purpose, we all now know about people and their talents, and even the shit we don't want to know about or be constantly force-fed.
If you could collaborate with anyone in the industry, who would it be?
I would love to collaborate with Anita baker, Black Thought, MF DOOM, Sade, Snoh Aalegra, Ani Defranco, Herbie Hancock, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Big K.R.I.T, Robert Glasper, Eric Roberson, David Holsinger, Mike & Keys, Roni Size, and AZ.

Death interrupts life. And blogging.
I'll be back soon. Four deaths in less than a week has required much of me.
They say to be careful what you wish/pray for.
Workwise, as a freelance writer/editor/voice-over talent, things have been really slow. Starting in October of 2015, my workload shrunk considerably. As a matter of fact, for the first time in almost 11 years in business, by work queue was empty on more than one occasion. That's scary for those of us in the freelance business who depend on that income. Really scary. Like I said, things had been really slow for the final few months in 2015. I wasn't sure what I was going to do.
Then I started praying for work (duh, I guess I should have done that more faithfully in the previous months). Suddenly, starting a couple of weeks ago, things started happening. This week, they exploded. I cannot keep up with the requests to submit proposals for work. And I cannot catch my breath.
In the meantime, I committed to pet/house sitting for four days at the end of the week. One of my oldest friends is moving from Pittsburgh to Oregon and we have one chance to get together for a final dinner (sniff). That's this coming Monday night.
And then there are the human tragedies surrounding us. In less than a week, we've lost one friend (who died unexpectedly in his sleep), another's adult son died suddenly, and another's wife, who was operated on for ovarian cancer last week, had a stroke two days later and slipped into a coma. On Sunday, our friend took her off life support. She died today.
So there will be funeral home visits sprinkled into all of this busyness. Sadness upon sadness. Yet, the very thing I prayed for is coming to fruition and beyond, so I have to keep at it. It's daunting really. On one hand, there is tragedy. On the other, success. Balancing emotions through all of this is tough.
Yesterday, I was celebrating the acceptance of one of my flash fiction pieces for Poppy Road Review (it was published yesterday), and then my joy came crashing down at the news of my friend's son's death. Crazy.
But that's the world we live in, isn't it. Grief vs. joy, struggle vs. victory, failure vs. death. It all colors the canvas and we have to learn to be flexible and resilient. I'm trying. Really I am.
So, if I'm absent more than usual from here and from the FB page, know that I'm just trying my best to ride the waves and not grow seasick.
Forty-three years ago today, a landmark decision was made that is often referred to as a victory for women. It was the day that abortion was legalized in the United States in the infamous Roe v. Wade case. At the time, abortion was legal in only six states.
Norma McCorvey, then referred to as Jane Roe, seriously laments that decision. Some applaud her for her change of heart while others vilify her. The thing is, McCorvey a.k.a. Roe, did not have an abortion in 1973. By the time the case went to court, her daughter was already two years old and was, undoubtedly, being raised in a loving home. McCorvey placed her for adoption after she was born. This was the third child the mother had surrendered, including her first who was raised by Norma's mother.
The legalization of abortion in 1973 has cost the United States 58,586,256 innocent lives, based on data from Guttmacher Institute as well as the U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC). I'll let that number sink in for a minute. Keep in mind, for the most part, these were deaths by choice. Of course, in some cases, they were deaths by coercion. Many were deaths by ignorance, with young mothers believing the lie that these babies were just blobs of tissue.
Now, before you accuse me of hating women as a pro-life advocate, let me set the record straight. My stand for life has nothing to do with being against women. Nothing whatsoever. I could go on and on citing case studies of women who were so distraught after their abortions that they attempted suicide. Many succeeded. There are scores of testimonies of women who have regretted their decisions. Many struggle with guilt and depression. For some, this was their last shot at parenthood, as their abortions created subsequent infertility. And some, yes it still happens in legal clinics, have died in the midst of or shortly after their abortions.
My stand against abortion, however, has nothing to do with how I feel about women. After all, I am a woman. Not only that, I am a woman who faced an unplanned pregnancy. I would go so far as to say it was a crisis pregnancy. Following my initial appointment with the abortion doctor (after all, abortion was the sensible thing to do, right?), I changed my mind. Thank God, I changed my mind. In September 1980, I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. I cared for her in the hospital and then I walked away from her, four days later, and allowed another mother to feed her and change her and kiss her boo boos and watch her grow. Another mother helped her get ready for prom, attended her graduation, and shed her own mama tears when her daughter left for college. I faced the most difficult and painful decision at the time she was born, but I have never regretted giving her life.
A couple years later, my husband and I were expecting our first child and I was told I had cancer. The recommendation was to abort the baby so I could start treatment. I agonized over that decision, too. In the end, I decided to go through with the pregnancy and deal with the cancer after my daughter was born. That daughter is one of my greatest blessings. As are her two children, one of whom is in the process of being adopted by her.
But back to the reason I am pro-life. It's not about the women. Nope. It's about the ones who have no voice. I do not believe we have the right to snuff out life simply because it's inconvenient to us. Or because they're the wrong gender. Or they have an extra chromosome. What gives us that right? When a child is conceived, he/she is a human being, plain and simple. To kill him/her, by choice, makes no sense whatsoever.
Does it make life easier on the mother? Most likely. But once a new life is present, it's no longer about just the woman anymore.
And what about the father and his rights? I think there is something seriously wrong with a system that insists on a father providing for a child, whether he wanted that child or not, yet gives him no say in whether or not that child is entitled to their first breath. Think about it. If you're honest and can put aside your pro-woman-at-all-costs mentality, you have to admit I'm right about this one.
Yes, it is the mother's body. Yes, it is her life. But it's not her life alone. And, once she's pregnant, it's not only her body. There is another body dependent on her to nourish it. She doesn't have to love her baby, but I believe she has to care for him/her. At least until they're born. And then? Like me, she can walk away and go on with her life.
For me, it's about the babies. They're the reason I stand for life. And I will continue to do so until there is no more life left in me.
Anti-woman? No. Of course not. I'm just pro-baby.
According to PRNewswire today, a broad coalition, which includes environmental, parent, and faith groups, is applauding Gov. Tom Wolf for his proposal on rules to cut methane pollution from oil and gas operations in Pennsylvania. Now, let me be clear -- I am not necessarily a fan of Gov. Wolf. However, his actions today will pave the way for strong rules addressing both new and existing sources of pollution, including the many thousands of gas wells across our state. And, if you don't know me well enough already, I'll be clear on this, too -- I'm 100% against fracking.
According to Larry Schweiger, president and CEO of PennFuture, "This announcement is welcome news for Pennsylvanians forced to co-exist with an industry playing by its own rules no matter how damaging to people and the planet. Gov. Wolf's bold leadership takes an important and much needed step toward protecting the health of Pennsylvania citizens from drillers' harmful methane pollution. This industry is recklessly wasting natural resources and appears to care little about the health of its neighbors or the rapidly warming planet resulting from emissions of this potent greenhouse gas."
In case you're wondering, methane is the primary component of natural gas and, alongside other toxic co-pollutants, leads to the formation of ground-level ozone (smog) that contributes to increasing incidence of asthma attacks in children as well as pulmonary and heart disease in seniors and the disadvantaged.
"Our children deserve clean air to breathe and the prospect of a healthy future, and Gov. Wolf's action today will help ensure that," said Gretchen Dahlkemper, national field manager for Moms Clean Air Force. "Clean air is a right guaranteed by the Pennsylvania constitution and yet our leaders to date have catered to polluters at the expense of our kids. Gov. Wolf has turned the page, and parents across the state are grateful." As are grandparents like me.
And it's not strictly the environmental groups weighing in. Sister Mary Elizabeth Clark of the Sisters of Saint Joseph Earth Center in Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia had this to say: "A moral society needs to care for its most vulnerable citizens and in acting today, Gov. Wolf has shown that he will do just that as he moves to protect Pennsylvania residents from unnecessary methane pollution. Our fossil fuel industry has shown little regard for air, land and water. We support the governor's action to protect citizens from an industry that has not proven itself a good neighbor."
Rachel Filippini, executive director of Group Against Smog and Pollution (GASP), added, "Air quality is a chronic problem in Pennsylvania and not just in drilling regions such as southwestern Pennsylvania. People across the state are paying the price for the oil and gas industry's air pollution. These rules are a significant step forward in reining in air pollution from this industry."
"Methane pollution from oil and gas operations -- in both our water and air -- has long been a concern for Pennsylvanians and yet, drillers have been given near carte blanche to pollute," said Steve Hvozdovich, Pennsylvania campaigns director for Clean Water Action. "Today's action by Gov. Wolf makes clear that our chief executive will set the terms by which this industry can operate in Pennsylvania. As the second-largest natural gas producing state in the nation, we can afford nothing less."
Won't you join me in celebrating a rather large victory in Pennsylvania today? I commend Gov. Wolf on this courageous, and no-doubt unpopular, proposal.

Today is the third anniversary of my mother's death so I thought I'd honor her by sharing some of things she taught me about green living... and some things I taught her in her later years.
Being green was not a "thing" when I was growing up. Yet, I was raised with an appreciation of nature that started during the countless hours I spent in my playpen in my backyard in Manheim, Pennsylvania. The youngest of three girls, I was often left to entertain myself outside and, from stories I've been told, I ate my share of caterpillars and other bugs while out there. Yum. And yet, I was the pickiest eater EVER as I got older. My poor mother catered to my pickyness for years and there were many meals where I simply ate bread with molasses (for the iron).
The thing about our refrigerator and cupboards was that the food she bought (and grew in the garden) did not get wasted. My mom set a good example.
I remember the year she decided to start a vegetable garden. We dug it up, raked it, and planted it. Eventually, we built a small fence around it to keep the bunnies out. I loved spending time with my mom in the garden. Even though there was very little there that I would eat, I still relished going out there and picking peas and beans and tomatoes. Perhaps that's why I enjoy it still today.
Possibly the best environmental gift my mother gave me was our mutual love of hanging laundry on the line. I discovered my passion for the smell of sun-dried sheets as I crawled into bed in my childhood home. It remains my favorite smell on earth.
Mom continued line-drying clothing and sheets into her 80s. She even line-dried her towels, reducing her carbon footprint long before that phrase was ever uttered. I loved that about Mom.
She also made much of our clothing, using leftover scraps of fabric to make doll clothes, so nothing was wasted. I never truly appreciated that when I was young, but I sure do now. Her skill with the sewing machine was not inherited by me, but I do have her old Singer. Maybe some day I'll channel her creative energy and make some clothing for my grandbabies... or their dolls.
Unlike many elderly people, my mom was open to learning new things. When I told her about how toxic fabric softener was, she stopped using it. Same with some of her cleaning supplies. When I'd visit her, I'd find gallon jugs of distilled white vinegar. And it made my heart happy.
She even tried apple cider vinegar for acid reflux, but just couldn't handle it. At least she tried.
And... during her last decade or so, Mom never went out to the store without her reusable bags. How awesome is that?
On this anniversary of losing her, I can't tell you how much I miss her. There are days I still dissolve onto the floor in a puddle of tears. I never thought it would hurt this much. But it's good to reflect on her life, so I thank you for indulging me and reading this post.
I would love it if you'd share some of your own stories in the comments below to cheer me up a bit. In what way did your mom demonstrate green living for you?
Update: Lily was found late last night, Jan. 13th. The two men she was with have been arrested. Thank you for your concern and prayers.
Yesterday, I wrote about missing socks. Little did I know that at that time former neighbors of mine were worried sick about their missing daughter.
Lily Funk, 17, 5'6", 190 lbs. with brown hair and blue eyes went missing on Monday night, January 11. I don't know any of the details. I simply know that a sweet girl, who my own daughters spent many hours with as her babysitters, is in trouble. Did she run away? I don't know. Did she meet someone online and go off to meet him in person? I don't know. Was she abducted? I don't know.
I know only that a girl my family cares about has disappeared. Lily's grandparents live catty-corner from our house and are fantastic neighbors. Her grandfather designed and built our back porch where I spend countless hours in the warmer months reading, writing, dining, drinking coffee or wine, watching the birds... just enjoying life. It's probably my favorite spot on earth and I am eternally grateful for the gift of it. That's what Lily's grandfather did for us.
Now, with his granddaughter missing, I feel helpless to do anything for him and his wife. What can I do? Will a casserole dish matter? Pie? I'm stumped. I really don't know what to do other than share pictures of Lily and get the information out there. Maybe someone reading this has seen her. Maybe, just maybe, what I write will make a difference.
If you have any information, please call the Sewickley police 412.473.3056 or 1-800-THE-LOST.
The mystery of the missing socks. Where the heck did they go?
It's about those socks. You know, the ones that are missing. Where the heck did they go??
Ever since people have been wearing socks and washing their clothes in washing machines, I imagine this question has been asked. Millions of times. It's not like gloves, which we know we might drop in a store or in a parking lot. No. Socks are on our feet when we go out and they don't just fall off. We don't drop them places. They remain in our homes. So, tell me, please, how do they get lost? I mean, seriously, where are they hiding?
I understand how a stray sock will end up under the bed or behind the headboard or something. But eventually it will be found. Unless, of course, you never vacuum or clean out under your bed. My question really is about the socks that are never found. NEVER!
When my kids were little, we used to have a blue plastic bin where all the single socks went on laundry day. It was called the Widowed Sock Bucket. Once a month or so, we'd dump it onto the floor and have a matchmaking session, reuniting socks with their long-lost mates. Oh the joy! Inevitably, however, some would end up back with other unpaired widows hoping their mates would not be MIA forever. If socks do indeed hope.
Years later, when we were moving, we threw the single socks away. We never did find their mates. Where the heck did they go?
I'm dumbfounded. Even now, with just the two of us, my husband and I encounter this perplexing dilemma. And again I ask, where the heck did they go?
Yesterday, I read a Facebook post by a friend of mine. I asked her permission to post it here and she graciously agreed. Here is the expanded version of that post, written by the harried mom of two special needs children. I think it will resonate with many of you. And even if you don't have a child with special needs, it's an important read for all of us.
I'm sorry that when you went out of your way to tell me how much you liked my hat, all I could do was impatiently look past you, mumble a thank you, and dash off into the crowd. I promise you, I really wanted to stay and chat, to tell you how much I looked forward to our next book club meeting, and to ask you for the recipe for the potato salad you'd brought to the last church picnic. I do have manners. I would love nothing better than to have a lighthearted conversation with you... or with anyone else for that manner.
I thought that when my kids got older I'd be able to go places and talk to people without rushing in and out, brushing rudely past people who are trying to be friendly and chat. Then, I found out that I have two children on the autism spectrum who required varying degrees of constant supervision. So I still find myself racing through crowds, trying to keep my kids in sight and ignoring friendly overtures.
I promise you, I'm not being deliberately rude or unfriendly. I'm not arrogant or snobby. I'm worried sick that my hell-bent-for-leather high-functioning son is going to topple a frail, elderly person, or dash in front of a car. Or I'm rushing my Asperger's son out from underneath fluorescent light fixtures before he succumbs to the meltdown he's been hovering on the brink of since we left home.
When I'm looking past you, only half-hearing you, it's because I'm trying to locate my children before they can raid the refrigerator or scald someone with the Keurig. Or, I'm listening to my son's voice, raised in anger and trying to locate him so I can avert the meltdown, argument, disagreement, or fistfight brewing.
If I'm sharp and short with my kids, ordering them to "SIT!" it's because I have been run ragged since before dawn, mediating disputes and having attempts at correction met with rants, doors slamming, violent outbursts or outright screaming matches. While they're sitting there in apparent docility, I am exhausted and on edge waiting for the next melodramatic scene.
The simple joy of going to church as a family is a stressful nightmare for me. Any family outing is as exhausting as hauling a carload of sugared-up toddlers to the zoo and requires the same vigilance.
At the end of the day, I am numb with mental, physical, and emotional fatigue and often near tears. Even though I've been out in public and exchanged brief chit-chat with people, I still feel isolated and alone because I was never able to relax and be completely present. When I do get a chance to sit down and socialize away from the children without having to keep one eye on the clock to pick them up, or one eye on my phone in case I need to rescue the babysitter or other caregiver from a meltdown, I am still stressed, overwhelmed, and left feeling on the outside of things.
So when you encounter me in public, please be forgiving of my awkward social graces, my inattention, my too-eager friendliness. I'm afraid as a result of having kids on the autism spectrum, I am becoming like them. I used to be a normal, interesting, sociable person -- just ask the friends who have known me since before I became a mom to special needs kids.
