Comment: And now for the news.....

Comment: BY CHERYL V. JACKSON Staff Reporter Heeding the call of moviemakers documenting the cult of Air Jordan sneakers, they trekked from across the country Saturday to stand in front of Michael Jordan's statue at the United Center. About 150 devotees of that Nike brand sported their favorite selections, while carrying other pairs in backpacks and original boxes and special packaging to show off — for a scene in "Jordan Heads," a documentary about their subset of sneakerhead culture. » Click to enlarge image Calvan Fowler is the director of the documentary "Jordan Heads." (Cheryl Jackson/Sun-Times) "They take this a bit more seriously than the average sneakerhead," said Calvan Fowler, director of the Daydream Filmworks production. "There's a man and a legacy involved." Filmmakers also interviewed a Chicago area 17-year-old who works three jobs to feed his Jordan addiction, a mom who had a specially secured room built for her kid's Jordan collection, and a local man who has 402 pairs of Jordans, in an attempt to translate the love of the shoe to movie screens. "What's not to love?" said Damien DeAnda, 16, of Chicago. "You can wear them to ball; to the mall; to go out. Michael Jordan flew above and beyond, and it's reflected in his shoes." Between shots, this gathering of Jordan fans — on the 23rd, by the way — admired each other's kicks. A pair of Georgetown team shoes that a Bulls staffer came out of the United Center to show off, and a pair of Fusion 3's that won't be available for purchase until next month but were sported on the feet of one participant, drew much attention. The documentary (www.jordanheadsmovie.com), expected to be completed next year, is unlimited in its appeal, %*$erted Fowler, who is from Brooklyn, N.Y. "It should appeal to anybody who has an interest in popular culture, Michael Jordan or sneakers in general," he said. "I've done this all on my own dime. It's definitely a labor of love. I've refinanced my house twice."

Comment: If your heart was failing, how far would you go to fix it? Authorities say John Parsons, 57, of Oak Park stole the identity of a mentally disabled friend to pay for heart bypass surgery at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago in 2007. Parsons allegedly racked up about $350,000 in medical expenses billed to the friend's Medicaid account. It was not until copies of the bills started arriving at the Joliet home of Phillip Johnson that police said his live-in caregiver discovered the alleged scam. Parsons admitted stealing Johnson's identity after his arrest, police said. He is due in court Sept. 15 on two counts of aggravated financial identity theft, the culmination of an eight-month investigation by Joliet police and the Will County state's attorney's office. Bail was set at $2.5 million. "Unlike credit-card fraud where you can go back and seize that toaster or LCD television they bought, how do you go back in there and get somebody's heart?" said Joliet Deputy Police Chief Patrick Kerr. "This is the first time in my 12 years I've seen anything like this." Though Parsons had battled illnesses throughout his adult life, a relative said he truly believed that he would die if he did not have the surgery. Triage: What you can do to prevent medical identity theftA longtime associate knew about Parsons' failing health and offered to show him how to assume Johnson's identity if Parsons agreed to lend his own name to a business venture, Parsons' brother James Horton said. Having no other way to afford the costly surgery, Parsons agreed to the deal, Horton said. "It was like leading a lamb to the slaughter," Horton said. "John was desperate." As word of the bizarre case spread Thursday, mental health advocates expressed outrage and hospital officials were puzzled at how a person could pull off such deception. "You can't just walk in with somebody's Medicaid card like it's a credit card and have heart surgery done," said Jeff Nelligan, spokesman for the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. "A doctor would need to know blood type, cardiac history, medical history and other comprehensive records that just couldn't be faked. This doesn't make sense.

Comment: Northwestern Memorial is covering the cost of the surgery so Johnson is not responsible for it, said spokeswoman Kris Lathan. She said hospital officials have begun their own investigation. "When this was brought to our attention by police, we immediately launched a review," Lathan said. "This gentleman apparently took pretty significant steps to steal this man's identity. We're taking all the precautions we can." Police said that after their investigation began, Parsons checked into Northwestern Memorial again using Johnson's identity. They did not specify what information Parsons allegedly used to pass himself off as Johnson but said he also had medical invoices in Johnson's name from Provena St. Joseph Medical Center in Joliet and the Joliet Fire Department. While searching Parsons' home in the 0-99 block of Augusta Street in Oak Park, police said, they found 15 prescription bottles and 300 to 400 documents with Johnson's name on them, including medical records, bills and financial papers. "This is just an absolutely horrendous crime," said Pam Heavens, a mental health advocate and director of the Will-Grundy Center for Independent Living. Police said Johnson, 57, had been friends with Parsons, a divorced father of one who was convicted of arson in 1994 for detonating a small explosive inside a Chicago bar. Parsons was sentenced to 15 years in prison but was paroled after 6, records show.

Comment: For those who travel for business and even personal I have found out a few tips that could help you out. One, I never take the last flight anymore. Because many flights are overbooked, get there early, and if possible, volunteer your seats because then many airlines will either give you a free roundtrip ticket or if they cannot use your seats, a free upgrade to first class on the same flight. Secondly, I stopped using priceline and orbitz because it is better to book through the hotel and airline's website and use their reward programs. Another reason for this, if something is wrong with the room if it is paid for via any discount site, there is nothing that could be done for you. Just some pointers.

Comment: A 61-year-old Japanese woman gave birth to her own grandchild, using an egg donated by her daughter, a clinic said Thursday. Surrogate births are extremely rare in Japan and banned by industry groups, but they are not illegal. The Suwa Maternity Clinic in Nagano, northwest of Tokyo, refused to provide information such as the date of the birth or gender of the baby. News reports said the baby was born last year. The clinic said it performed the procedure because the woman's daughter has no uterus, but didn't give details on why she had that condition. The surrogate mother used a fertilized egg donated by her daughter. "Both surrogate mother and baby were fine," said Chihiro Netsu, a spokeswoman for the clinic. Dr. Yahiro Netsu, who runs the clinic, has long defied national opposition to such procedures, arguing that they should be an option for woman who are infertile. In 2001, he performed what is thought to be the country's first successful surrogate birth. In 1998, Netsu was expelled from Japan's gynecology association for performing in-vitro fertilizations with eggs and sperm of donors who were not married to each other, though he was later reinstated. The spokeswoman said the 61-year-old woman was believed to be the oldest surrogate mother in Japan, and news reports said she was the oldest woman to have given birth overall.

Comment: Good morning! How many of you use to love Jodeci! Well check what I found. LOL I haven't thought about K-Ci and Jo Jo since "Forever My Lady" passed through my iTunes a couple of months ago. That %*$! is still my favorite song to eat ice cream too. Well, K-Ci and Jo Jo are alive but not-so-well. The two crazy crackies left a lasting impression while playing in Sydney, Australia this weekend. Skip to the 1:46 mark to see Jo Jo collapse like he just got a whiff of Parasite Hilton's coochie. A bodyguard-type person strolls onstage like this is nothing new, picks up JoJo's mic and then keeps walking. Seriously, the bodyguard dude looks like he's going on a leisurely Sunday afternoon walk and only stopped to pick up a pretty daisy to give to his mother. AND K-Ci keeps singing while the audience screams "OMG! Pick him up!" If K-Ci stops singing, they won't get paid for the gig and who will pay for their crack rocks?! Jo Jo finally gets up from his impromptu nap and waves at the audience before going offstage. He was probably just sleepy and didn't feel like singing the rest of the song. They later said that Jo Jo was just "dizzy" from their long flight to Australia. Maybe Jo Jo is on to something. The next time your boss asks you to do something you don't want to do, just collapse on the floor. (link to see video) http://www.dlisted.com/node/27907

Raashaan Patterson had great music, but his stage presence was non existent. Noel Gourdin was great. Imma buy his CD now. Regina Bell was in good voice also. I left after Howard so I didn't see Q, Tank or Joe, though a coworker told me this morning Tank turned it out. My life is complete.

Comment: life in cali'....sigh.... Free grocery bags targeted for extinction in California The plastic grocery bag is fighting for its crinkly life. From the city of San Francisco to Los Angeles County, more than a dozen local governments around the state have proposed or passed plastic-bag restrictions, ranging from recycling mandates to outright bans. Now, a proposal in the Legislature would put a 25-cent fee on all disposable bags – paper or plastic – given out at drug and grocery store check stands starting Jan. 1, 2010. It has won key support from the grocery and retail industries and faces its next legislative step today. Those in favor of the fee, led by %*$emblyman Lloyd Levine, D-Van Nuys, and a collection of environmental groups, point to dirty oceans, sewers fouled with plastic and millions of dollars in litter-cleanup costs. Opponents – mainly bag-industry and taxpayer organizations – say plastic bags draw more blame than they deserve and the fee would be a burden on consumers. "People have completely lost their perspective," said Stephen Joseph, a Tiburon lawyer who runs savetheplasticbag.com, an industry group. Both sides expect a fee would drive shoppers to switch to reusable bags. After Ireland imposed a fee on plastic checkout-counter bags in 2002, their use dropped by about 90 percent. About 80 percent of bags given out in the state's supermarkets are plastic, according to Californians Against Waste, an advocacy group.

I don't need to know the power structure and I don't need to view a hour tutorial on how to do something that is NOT my freaking job. THREE times I tell the woman, that's not in the realm of my responsibility and all I need you to do, is submit the changes and ok it. WHy is it 10:20 and I'm JUST NOW getting in to my job.

Comment: This is wild and sooooo ghetto ajc.com > Metro > Atlanta Live-in boyfriend confronts husband, wife having sex Woman says both men now kicked out of apartment By TIM EBERLY The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Friday, August 22, 2008 On this day, three was a crowd. Until Sunday, 35-year-old Carla Ramson lived in an apartment in southwest Atlanta with two men she identified as her husband and live-in boyfriend, according to an Atlanta police report. Both men were arrested after they got into a fight at their apartment in the 2900 block of Third Avenue, possibly because one got jealous of the other. The husband, Tracy Lee, 25, was arrested on charges of aggravated %*$ault and battery, and he was released Tuesday from the Fulton County Jail on $25,000 bond. The boyfriend, Michael Reed, 21, is facing two felony charges, including aggravated %*$ault. He, too, got out of jail Thursday after posting $35,000 bond. The incident happened at 11:30 a.m. Sunday. Ramson told police that she and husband Lee were having sex in her bedroom, while Reed was sitting in the living room, the report said. Apparently that didn’t sit well with Reed. He got angry and demanded that Ramson and Lee let him in the bedroom, the report said. Reed somehow got into the bedroom and pushed Lee, the woman told police. Lee returned the favor, pushing Reed onto a table lamp, the report said. Reed then picked up a glass vase and hit Lee in the face, Lee told police. Lee retaliated by getting a knife and trying to stab Reed several times, Reed told police. When police arrived, Reed was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital for injuries, and both were eventually taken to jail. When reached by phone Thursday afternoon, Ramson said that both men no longer lived there and she wasn’t going to worry about it. But she said she couldn’t talk because she had company over, and she asked a reporter to call her later. She could not be reached later.

Comment: DENVER -- A black Hillary Clinton delegate on Sunday accused state Senate President Emil Jones of calling her an "Uncle Tom." Jones -- Barack Obama's political mentor -- denied using the racially loaded slur against Chicago political consultant Delmarie Cobb, but two aldermen who said they witnessed the Saturday night exchange back up Cobb's account. "Last night, I was called an 'Uncle Tom' by Emil Jones in the lobby of the hotel, right in front of [Ald.] Freddrenna Lyle and [Ald.] Leslie Hairston and [Ald.] Latasha Thomas," said Cobb, a member of Clinton's Illinois Steering Committee. "I walked over to him and asked him, 'What did you just call me?' " The embarrassing flap came on the eve of the Democratic National Convention, which will open tonight with a string of Chicago speakers talking about Obama's life story. Jones is often referred to as Obama's "political godfather.'' Lyle, alderman of the South Side's 6th Ward, said she was standing with Jones when the conversation took place in the lobby of the hotel where the Illinois delegation is staying, but she dismissed it as Jones engaging in harmless banter with someone he knows, although Lyle said she told him, "Emil, that's bad even for you." Another of the aldermen who was standing in the lobby added, "He said it in jest." Cobb has been a high-profile Clinton supporter, and she said she is still paying the price in the African-American community. "If people are still making digs at the Hillary Clinton people because we supported her, that is not going to bring us on board. It makes us feel as though we're outsiders, and we're Democrats," Cobb said. "The litmus test for being black is [seen as] supporting Barack." Lyle said she saw Clinton supporters walking into an Illinois delegation meeting at the Marlowe Restaurant on Sunday and being handed Obama buttons, only to put the buttons in their pockets. That prompted the greeters to say, "You can tell the Hillary Clinton people, they never take the buttons." Speaking outside Denver's Palm Restaurant, Jones said he never called her the name. "I emphatically deny it," he said. "I told her I never said that. She may have misunderstood." Told that Lyle heard him call Cobb the name, Jones said, "That was not. That was not. That's all I have to say."

Comment: Cobb said the confrontation started when she and Jones, who is also African-American, were talking about an earlier conversation they had at the Bud Billiken Parade in Chicago. "One day, you'll be on the right side," Cobb said Jones told her. She told him she was on the right side. She said Jones pointed at his Obama hat and said, "No, this is the right side," she said. "Then he came up behind me. He said 'Thirty-five thousand people went to Springfield [to support Obama on Saturday],'" she said. "I said, 'Then 35,000 people drank the Kool-Aid.,' He said, 'Barack is a clean-cut guy. He never liked gutter politics, that's why the Clintons did so-and-so. ...' I said, 'I don't want to get into this. So I went over to the elevator, and he said, 'Uncle Tom!' Then he grabbed me and hugged me and started laughing. I said, 'What did you say?' I turned to Freddrenna Lyle, and I said, 'What did he say?' She wouldn't say anything, That's when I said some bad things to him." Taking a final shot at Jones, Cobb said, "Calling me an 'Uncle Tom' is beyond the pale, especially considering where he is [close] with Mayor Daley and with [Gov.] Blagojevich, I am hardly the Uncle Tom here." Jones announced his retirement as state Senate president last week and, following an increasingly popular Chicago tradition, had his son Emil Jones III installed as the nominee to succeed him for his south suburban and South Side Senate seat. A separate battle is brewing among veteran Senate Democrats for Jones' leadership gavel. Another strong Clinton supporter, J.B. Pritzker, who was one of the former first lady's national co-chairmen, said he expected just about all of Clinton's delegates to follow her request and -- after casting their votes for her -- fully support Obama.

Comment: One day after naming Joe Biden as his VP, Barack Obama went to one of the last places you would expect to find a black man in America: the Rod and Gun Park in Eau Claire, Wis. That's right, rod and gun, as in fishin' and shootin'. Obama didn't do either. What he did do was allow the small gathering of working-class, mostly white voters to get a closer look at him. The invitation-only BBQ event kicks off a tour of battleground states and will include stops in Davenport, Iowa; Kansas City, Mo.; and Billings, Mont. After attending a service at a Lutheran church, Obama arrived at the park shortly before noon and took center stage under a canopy of towering trees. Obama was introduced by 43-year-old Scott Campbell, a white working-class family man who is juggling three jobs to support two college-age daughters and a daughter who will soon be getting married. Campbell said he has been called a "traitor" for supporting Obama. After his introduction, I asked him to expand on his remarks. "I have been told that if I disagree with the Republican Party, if I disagree with what they stand for, I'm a traitor," Campbell explained. In order to win places like Eau Claire, Obama will have to "tell his story" and "jump across the racial divide," Campbell said. "Let's face it, there is still racism in this country. I have been told by lifelong Democrats that they will not vote for him, and they will not tell me why." Wisconsin's governor, Tim Doyle, and Democratic Sen. Russ Feingold urged attendees to get busy. "We have to work every single day between now and November to make sure Barack Obama is our next president," Doyle said.

Comment: HAIFA, Israel (Reuters) - paralyzed for the past 20 years, former Israeli paratrooper Radi Kaiof now walks down the street with a dim mechanical hum. That is the sound of an electronic exoskeleton moving the 41-year-old's legs and propelling him forward -- with a proud expression on his face -- as passersby stare in surprise. "I never dreamed I would walk again. After I was wounded, I forgot what it's like," said Kaiof, who was injured while serving in the Israeli military in 1988. "Only when standing up can I feel how tall I really am and speak to people eye to eye, not from below." The device, called ReWalk, is the brainchild of engineer Amit Goffer, founder of Argo Medical Technologies, a small Israeli high-tech company. Something of a mix between the exoskeleton of a crustacean and the suit worn by comic hero Iron Man, ReWalk helps paraplegics -- people paralyzed below the waist -- to stand, walk and climb stairs. Goffer himself was paralyzed in an accident in 1997 but he cannot use his own invention because he does not have full function of his arms. The system, which requires crutches to help with balance, consists of motorized leg supports, body sensors and a back pack containing a computerized control box and rechargeable batteries. The user picks a setting with a remote control wrist band -- stand, sit, walk, descend or climb -- and then leans forward, activating the body sensors and setting the robotic legs in motion. "It raises people out of their wheelchair and lets them stand up straight," Goffer said. "It's not just about health, it's also about dignity."

Comment: 12, the very first slumber party that i was allowed to go to was also my very LAST slumber party (away from home). They wanted to watch that dreadful movie (nightmare on elm street) so I went upstairs with her mom & dad and I think they watched the news or something boring while I read a book. After the movie, I went back downstairs and these little heffas wanted to play Bloody Mary. I called my mom and told her to come get me. After that, I never went to anyone else's slumber parties -- I had plenty but then I could control the mood/theme of the parties. I don't do scary stuff!!

Comment: The spectacular 'sex fest' that followed the Olympics! Monday, 25 August , 2008, 12:05 Last Updated: Monday, 25 August , 2008, 14:48 New York: Olympic athletes eventually overcame the stress of strict discipline they faced during the two weeks of competition with a final burst of sexual release on the eve of the closing ceremonies in the Olympic Village. "This sex fest . . . (happened) right here in Beijing," the New York Post quoted Matthew Syed, a past Olympian and table-tennis champion now working as a commentator, as writing in the Times of London. "Olympic athletes have to display an unnatural - and, it has to be said, wholly unhealthy - level of self-discipline in the build-up to big competitions. How else is this going to manifest itself than with a volcanic release of pent-up hedonism?" he wrote. He said that big winners were the principal objects of desire for many female athletes, included those “as geeky as Michael Phelps". Even losers got their share, he said, adding that it was "a common sight to see recently knocked-out athletes gorging on Magnums and McDonald's, swilling alcohol and, of course, shagging like crazy." The Beijing Government ensured the supply of free condoms so that the competitors would practice safe sex. One Australian athlete said: "It is unbelievable in there; everyone is totally crazy once they are out of their competitions."

I remember when my ex-fiance rented it and we tried to watch it at his house. His mom is a christian and she didn't know what we had put in the vcr, but when it came on, there was this part, I really can't describe it, but it was in the begining of the movie(a strage noise, a shrill voice) But anyway she jumped up and 'high-tailed' out of there, I mean, that woman ran, full-speeed down the hallway and closed her door. A grown woman, she was about 42. At first, I laughed, but after sitting there a little while longer, I 'high tailed it' right behind her. LOL.

Comment: For Lovely and CRENEEJ (who are having problems today with the clear people): There was a black man, a white man, a native American man, and a Latino man. All four of them were on top of a cliff discussing the difficulties that their people had gone through. The native American said, "my people have suffered the most, and in honor of what they have endured, I will fling myself off this cliff in hopes that my blood will change things" So he yelled out real loud "THIS IS FOR MY PEOPLE", and jumped off the cliff. The Latino not wanting to be outdone, quickly looked at the other two and followed suit yelling "THIS IS FOR MY PEOPLE" and jumped off the cliff as well. The black man was touched by this and decided it was his turn, so he yelled "THIS IS FOR MY PEOPLE" ------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------and pushed the white man off the cliff! STOP LAUGHING......

Comment: oh gee, I cant wait... NEW YORK (AP) -- Scoot over, Simon Cowell. "American Idol" is adding a fourth critic to its panel of judges. Kara DioGuardi has written songs for Kelly Clarkson and Faith Hill, among others. Grammy-nominated songwriter Kara DioGuardi will sit alongside Cowell, Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson when the eighth season of "American Idol" premieres in January, the Fox network said Monday. "For the past seven seasons, Paula has had to endure the experience of being the only woman at the judges' table," said Mike Darnell, president, alternative programming of Fox, in a statement. "With Kara by her side, Paula has some backup and now there is going to be a lot more 'girl power' on the show," Darnell said. DioGuardio's songs have been recorded by Kelly Clarkson, Christina Aguilera, Gwen Stefani, Celine Dion, Faith Hill, Carrie Underwood and Pink, among others. "We are turning the heat up on 'Idol' this year and are thrilled to welcome Kara to the judges' table," said creator and executive producer Simon Fuller in a statement. "She is a smart, sassy lady, and one of America's most successful songwriters. We know she will bring a new level of energy and excitement to the show." Executive producer Cecile Frot-Coutaz said a fourth judge isn't a new idea. "We had originally intended for 'American Idol' to have four judges," she said. "We've seen from our international series that having a fourth judge creates a dynamic that benefits both the contestants and the viewers."

Comment: somebody just shoot these idiots....FBI: Couple wants car, offers sex with 5-year-old Story Highlights Affidavit: Mom thought sex would be good experience for daughter, 5 Couple allegedly advertised child with text message Couple wanted to make money for car, apartment, child care, feds say SANA ANTIONIO, Texas (AP) -- A San Antonio couple is accused of trying to trying to trade sex with the woman's 5-year-old daughter for an apartment, a used car and child care for her 10-month old daughter. Jennifer Richards, 25, and her married boyfriend, Sean Michael Block, 40, appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Nancy Stein Nowak on Friday. Richards is charged with using interstate facilities to transmit information about a minor. Block is charged with distributing child pornography. Nowak ordered Block held. Richards' detention hearing was delayed until Tuesday, the San Antonio Express-News reported Sunday. According to an affidavit, the investigation began when an informant told the FBI about a text message allegedly sent by Block reading: "Nice piece 5 yrs old belongs to my gf and she wants to sell it." Richards and Block crafted a deal that, in addition to the apartment and used car, included child care for Richards' 10-month-old daughter, whose sexual service the couple intended to sell later, Rex Miller, the FBI's lead agent on the case, testified. The couple had also hoped to blackmail the informant, Miller said. Richards "was of the belief that these sexual interactions would be a positive experience for (her daughter) and that Richards would receive sexual gratification" from watching, according to the affidavit. Authorities said both children are no longer in Richards' custody and that neither child was sold for sex. After reviewing computers the couple used and listening to taped conversations, Miller determined Block and Richards were making further plans to abduct, rape and "carve up" a teenage runaway. Block allegedly sent an e-mail with a link to a Russian child pornography site, according to the affidavit. Ronald Guyer, Block's lawyer, acknowledged the severity of the charges. But Guyer told the judge that there was no evidence that the behavior progressed beyond Block's fantasy. "There has been no action on his part," Guyer told Nowak. Richard's attorney did not return a call or e-mail left Sunday. The couple worked at the Cheesecake Factory at North Star Mall, where he was a bartender and she was a waitress. Court records show that Block's now-estranged wife Sarah Block filed for a protective order earlier this week on behalf of the couple's 14-month-old child. Her lawyer said she filed for divorce Friday.

Comment: I have a question? I am sort of embarrassed, but has anybody ever had this happen to them before? Yesterday morning, I woke up at about 6:50a.m. but dozed on and off until my 4yr. woke me up. He told me that he had to use the bathroom to do #2( tmi )LOL. But anyway, I sort of dozed back off again, because I knew he was going to be a while. Anyway, when he called out and told me that he was finished, I tried to move to get up to go help him. "But, I could not move". Hubbie was right next to me snoring like a hog. Now mind you, my eyes were wide-open, but I could not talk, nor could I move. It was like something was holding me. All I could do was make a noise. I was scared to death. I was like, "am I dying", but hubbie finally touched me, and ask me was I okay. When he touched me whatever it was that was on me, left. I wasn't the only one that was scarred, hubbie was too. He said when he rolled over, I was lying there, with my eyes wide-open, making a noise, and shaking. Now I go to church, but hubbie goes every blue moon. How about after this happened, he was the first one dressed, sitting in the car, ready to go to church yesterday. After that experience, I am ready to sell my house and move. My dad told me that I was tripping, and that I had to be dreaming, but I don’t think so.

Comment: beyourself ....Wasn't nothing on you. It sounds like sleep paralysis. My husband suffers from it and can have several episodes a knight. What is sleep paralysis? Sleep paralysis consists of a period of inability to perform voluntary movements either at sleep onset (called hypnogogic or predormital form) or upon awakening (called hypnopompic or postdormtal form). Sleep paralysis may also be referred to as isolated sleep paralysis, familial sleep paralysis, hynogogic or hypnopompic paralysis, predormital or postdormital paralysis What are the symptoms? A complaint of inability to move the trunk or limbs at sleep onset or upon awakening Presence of brief episodes of partial or complete skeletal muscle paralysis Episodes can be associated with hypnagogic hallucinations or dream-like mentation (act or use of the brain) Polysomnography (a sleep recording) shows at least one of the following: suppression of skeletal muscle tone a sleep onset REM period dissociated REM sleep Is it harmful? Sleep paralysis is most often associated with narcolepsy, a neurological condition in which the person has uncontrollable naps. However, there are many people who experience sleep paralysis without having signs of narcolepsy. Sometimes it runs in families. There is no known explanation why some people experience this paralysis. It is not harmful, although most people report feeling very afraid because they do not know what is happening, and within minutes they gradually or abruptly are able to move again; the episode is often terminated by a sound or a touch on the body. In some cases, when hypnogogic hallucinations are present, people feel that someone is in the room with them, some experience the feeling that someone or something is sitting on their chest and they feel impending death and suffocation. That has been called the “Hag Phenomena” and has been happening to people over the centuries. These things cause people much anxiety and terror, but there is no physical harm.

I can't even imagine what my husband thought of when he jumped up to see if I was alright. Poor thang, he had this crazy look on his face. I can see why if one spouse dies, the other follows, I truley love that man. Because he look like he was ready to pick me up and take me to the hospital his-self.

Comment: I have some ridiculous drama for yall: PSF's dad just called me (hubby #1) singing the blues about all that's going wrong for him, yada yada yada. I mumbled platitudes (while typing on the F4A) that things will get better, something will break his way, etc. He says "It would really make me feel better if you tell me you love me." I said "What?" He repeated it, I repeated what I said. He says "Don't you love me?" I said "No". He said "What? How can you not love me. We had something special. We were married. We have a child together." OMG he went off the deep end about how hurt he was that I could say that and how I didn't have a heart if I didn't feel love for him after all we had together. How he never would have thought I would answer that way. He could understand us never being together again, but never thought I wouldn't love him. Family, who's crazy, him or me? That felt like something out of the twilight zone.

Name: asize12

Comment: >ylawd, he's feeling pity for himself and is probably feeling lonely (is he single?) so he probably thought that since you were talking 'nice' to him and encouraging him that you still had some type of love for him. Maybe it felt like the 'good ole' days' when y'all were talking and he just wanted to hear you say to put the STAMP on the encouragement that you were giving him. Was he crazy for saying it? Well, I won't say 'crazy'...maybe inappropriate is a better word to discribe what he said. He sounds like he's got the blues...

Name: yelleyw

Comment: Ummm just because you have a child and were married doesn't give him a permanent place in your heart. Especially if he's done alot to lose what love you may have felt after the relationship was over. If he feels so bad maybe he needs to talk to his daughter to feel loved. Thats where he should expect unconditional love from. Your not mean for saying that actually you could have said a lot to make him feel like shat and you didn't. I woulda responded the same way. JMO

I said I am a huge fan of yours and I was hoping to marry you but I see you already did that (the whole time we were talking I was holding his hand - never let go from shaking it). He said thank you that's so sweet. He was trying to let go of my hand and I wouldn't let him. I said you aren't going anywhere. LOL! Finally I let his hand go. He is so short.

I'on know, maybe I'm reading too much into it, but he shouldn't be asking you how you feel about him, especially since you're married...like yelly said, if he wants to feel 'loved' have him to call PSF...

Comment: DENVER. Mon Aug 25, 2:09 PM EDT. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama are working on a deal to give her some votes in the roll call for the Democratic presidential nomination, but quickly end the divided balloting in unanimous consent for Obama. Democratic officials involved in the negotiations said Monday the idea is that at the start of the state-by-state vote for the presidential nomination Wednesday night, delegates would cast their votes for Clinton or Obama. But the voting would be cut off after a couple of states, the officials said, perhaps ending with New York, when Clinton herself would call for unanimous backing for Obama from the convention floor. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity while the deal was being finalized. Clinton said she has told her delegates she will vote for Obama, but she would not instruct them how to vote. Many of those delegates, she told reporters Monday, will likely vote for him. Others, she said, "feel an obligation to the people who sent them here that they were elected to represent." Clinton said part of her job at the convention will be letting those delegates know "that however they decide to vote, we will all be united behind Senator Obama." "There is no doubt in anyone's mind that this is Barack Obama's convention," she said, adding that it is only natural for there to be some lingering issues to resolve after a tough primary. "It would have been the same way if I had won and Barack was here supporting the unity of the party," she said. "This was a hard-fought campaign and there was a lot of intensity and passion associated with it, in part because of the historic nature of our two candidacies." Clinton gives a prime-time convention speech Tuesday night, and the following day will gather her delegates together and publicly release them and urge them to support Obama. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who is chairwoman of the convention, acknowledged Monday that Democrats are not yet united following the bitter primary fight, especially among women. She said a "gender gap" in Obama's favor had emerged "even before the convention, and even before the complete reconciliation that we need," she said. "But to stay wallowing in all of this is not productive," she said. "So we can talk about this forever, or we can talk about how we're going to take our message to the American people, to women all across America, to see the distinctions" between Obama and Republican candidate John McCain.

Comment: bey - Girl that happens to me all the time. It's a horrible feeling. I realize that there are certain positions I can't sleep in or there is a greater chance it will happen. Sleeping on my back is one of them. I don't wish for anyone to ever have to go through that. It's nothing for you to be embarassed about either.

Name: Lovely

Comment: speaking of sleeping on backs... has anyone ever heard of there being some old African tradition of not sleeping on your backs because if you do and you die that way, the devil will come in the back way and steal your soul? Some girl at an art camp told me that when I was little and I promise I sleep on my stomach & side but never my back. (i know it's silly but i thought i'd ask anyway... the girl scared me enough that i've been a stomach/side sleeper since i was about 12 or 13).

I have not seen neither one of those sore losers campaigning for Obama, ever! I recall about a month ago a reporter asked Bill if Obama was ready to be president...WHY this fool say "Well, is ANYBODY ever really ready to be president?" In other words, NO! I am SO SICK of both of them with their 'half-hearted' support of Obama! And why is Hillary JUST NOW releasing her delegates? She shoulda been done that! That's why our party is jacked up! She has done the bare minimal to keep our party together. What a sore loser! She bothers me...

Comment: DENVER — As Democrats arrived here Sunday for a convention intended to promote party unity, mistrust and resentments continued to boil among top associates of presumptive nominee Barack Obama and his defeated rival, Hillary Rodham Clinton. One flashpoint is the assigned speech topic for former president Bill Clinton, who is scheduled to speak Wednesday night, when the convention theme is “Securing America’s Future.” The night’s speakers will argue that Obama would be a more effective commander in chief than his Republican rival, Sen. John McCain (Ariz.). The former president is disappointed, associates said, because he is eager to speak about the economy and more broadly about Democratic ideas — emphasizing the contrast between the Bush years and his own record in the 1990s.>>>>>>>>>>For the remainder of the story, go here: http://news.yahoo.com/s/politico/20080825/pl_politico/ 12782

Ain't no tellin' what her response would be about husband #1 asking if you love him. Note doesn't hate my father, but I think he may be one of her least favorite people, and I doubt the word "love" would ever be used in a conversation about him. Note is civil the rare times she is around him (like once every 10 years), but her "love" for him dissipated a lonnnngggg time ago. PSF's daddy sounds like he was having a lonely, woe-is-me moment.

After having serious back injuries from a car accident I had to sleep on my back for a while, then graduated to my side. My chiropractor (a brother) told me "You haven't been a baby for over 30 years, there is no reason for you to be sleeping on your stomach." He explained that sleeping on the stomach allows gravity to pull on the organs, and can be harmful, especially for women.

Comment: Lovely - I hope one day soon the pain and anger that your dad feels will go away so he doesn't feel contempt about your mom. It's a great feeling when one day you realize the mention of an ex's name or the sight of him/her doesn't cause any type of emotion from you. You're just neutral. A funny story. One of my friends got married last year. Her biological didn't raise her or do anything for her, her stepfather was her father. Afterwards she was talking with her mom and mentioned her biological being there. Her mom said "No he wasn't." She said, "Yes he was, mom." My friend said her mother shook his hand and said "Thank you for coming" just as she did to the other guests, never realizing who he was. I crack up every time I think about that. Now, that's really getting over someone when you don't even recognize him in person!!

Comment: BIG BROTHER FANS>> What yall saw on TV last night happened on Thursday. Dan won HOH after striking a three part deal with Ollie. PART ONE: Ollie and Michelle are safe from nominations. PART TWO: Ollie gets to choose one nomination for the block (he chose Memphis) and PART THREE: If Memphis wins POV and takes himself off, Ollie gets to choose a replacement. Initially I thought Dan was CRAZY, but he played Ollie. Ollie was walking around like God these past couple of days. While Dan honored parts one and two, he flipped on Ollie (that was Dan's plan all along and his alliance knew about it) and put up Michelle at the last minute. Michelle and Ollie and on a RAMPAGE around the house right now...

BUT, he is trying to show them that he was protecting them. Based on the deal he made with Ollie, he HAD to make Ollie believe that he would follow through. They are SO stupid. Dan is the only player in this game.. I just hope that Michelle gets evicted, and that Ollie doesn't win HOH because Dan is GONE.

Comment: OK, this is my last update. Big Brother won't let the folks who watch the feeds (and thus update the blogs) know what is going on downstairs. Apparently Ollie has trashed the BB House, desecrated (sp) Dan's picture on the HG wall. Keesha, Dan, Memphis, and Renny are upstairs watching the 'events' on the spycam. I think Ollie is probably going home. They can't keep him after that. OR, they may punish him by NOT letting him play for HOH or something like they did Jen when she ate food during slop week. OK yall, I am outta here. RANDOMNESS>> I have a coworker who was on Row 23 at the Bird's Nest when the 4 X 100 Relays were going on. She also went to a lot of other events.
