reno fire

• Question:-Gonzales Fired 80 US Attorneys. Did Clinton & Reno Fire 32 Innocent Little American Kids in Waco?
  
  Is that a proud achievement for Democrats?
  Steve ... just as you wanted.
  
  Answer:-Your numbers are off, Bush/Gonzales fired 8 US attn's, Clinton fired 92 and not a word was said. He did that before he had Reno fire the children in Waco.
• Question:-Janet Reno fires 90 attorneys and keeps her job. Alberto Gonzales fires 8 and he's under fire. Why?
  
  
  Answer:-Because the Democrats and their enablers, the Liberal Media, are doing all they can to stir up the mud, and to keep the American People focused on the phony scandals. This way the Democrats do not have to do anything, like work for their pay, and the People are not suppose to notice!
  The Democrats believe that the Republicans will be too busy defending against the Liberal Democrats' attacks, that they, the Liberal Democrats, Owned by MoveOn. org, will easily fool the Dumb Voters into putting them in complete control of this Country.
• Question:-i need help does anyone know where you can rent and fire firearms in reno cause i feel really trigger happy?
  
  
  Answer:-Most gun ranges have rental guns. Call a few of them and ask. The comment about being "trigger happy" makes me a little nervous. Please be careful and safe.
• Question:-Are backyard fire pits allowed to be used in Reno, NV?
  All of the regs, etc that I can find seem to be about open burn for weed control...
  
  Its a big stone pit, about 50 feet from the house with a water hose and shovels on the site.
  
  Answer:-Its legal...but you're responsible for any damages caused.
• Question:-Why is it that the Clinton Administration (Reno) can fire all but a couple U.S. Att'ys for political reasons -
  I believe it was 80ish and no one says a thing, but as soon as Gonzales fires 8, the mainstream media elites are having a fit? (BTW, the Executive Branch has the power to do this at will) Why the double standard?
  
  Answer:-Liberalism is a mental disorder. Just ask JPEnergy who can't write worth a darn.
• Question:-Gonzles + Fire + 88 Attorneys ......... Reno/Clinton + Fire + 32 Little American Kids?
  in Waco.
  
  Which fact will Dems forget the quickest?

• Question:-What about fire danger in the Great Basin and Washoe County?
  With all the Cheat Grass and new weeds everything catches fire and spreads up mountains. Firefighters have to hike to fires to put them out. What can we do to get the fire out and how do we get rid of all the weeds that spread the fire?
  
  This applies to Reno, Lake Tahoe, Sparks, Stead, Carson City, Spanish Springs, Red Rock, Cold Springs, Truckee, and quite a few other places.
  
  Answer:-Ref 1 indicates the current alert status: As of July 2, 2007-Very High to Extreme fire conditions across the Great Basin. This comes off the website of the WESTERN GREAT BASIN COORDINATION CENTER, which is all about incident response in the Great Basis and describes interagency coordination.
  
  Refs 2 and 3 are BLM websites about fuels management.
  
  Ref 4 addresses cheatgrass and says: Prevention is the first line of defense against this weed. Buying seed and forage from areas not infested by cheatgrass is a must.
  A number of herbicides are available to control cheatgrass.
• Question:-How can I find fire access roads?
  I am looking for a map online that has fire access roads mapped out. I am planning a race event and other than searching google maps it would be easier if I had some sort of map for them. Anyone know of a site near Las Vegas, NV, Reno,NV, and Elko, NV?
  
  Answer:-You do know it is illegal to use them if you are just a civilian?
  They are made for EMT, firetrucks. and law enforcement.
  If a police officer sees you using on you can get in trouble.
  
  And what kind of race?
  Bike race? Car race?
• Question:-Firing United States Attorneys - did you know that in 1993, Janet Reno fired 93 US Attorneys?
  Janet Reno stated that the attorneys were fired because the Clintons wanted, "....team players". No one in Congress complained.
  
  Answer:-yes I did. My putter flutters every time that I think of Janet Reno. Yow!!
• Question:-How to play Reno from Anything Goes?
  I'm auditioning for my school musical (Anything Goes) for the part of Reno Sweeney. I have to sing "Take Me Back to Manhatten" and read some of her lines. The two excerpts I've been given are the part where Billy gets fired (right before "You're the Top") and the part where she's trying to seduce Evelyn. Can I have some suggestions on how to sing the song and/or play her character?
  
  Answer:-Play outrageous and have fun with it.

topamax

• Question:-Topamax.....?.......?
  I have mirena iud my doc prescribed me topamax is there less effectivness of mirena if i take topamax. Thank you for responses.
  
  Answer:-I'm not sure in your case, honestly. I know that Topamax can lessen the effectiveness of birth control, but I'm not entirely sure to what degree. I've been on it for awhile now.
  
  If you're concerned I would discuss it with your doctor. That way you get legitimate answers with no questions about the facts.
  
  Good luck.
• Question:-How safe is Topamax to take during pregnancy?
  My husband and I are starting to think about kids after 2 years of marriage. We are starting to take the first steps in planning a family. I have taken Topamax for 3 years now to help control rare epileptic seizures, I've done some reading about Topamax and birth defects, but they chance seems low. Has anyone taken Topamax during pregnancy? ..and how was your outcome?
  
  Answer:-There have been many FDA warnings released concerning Topamax use in pregnancy lately, including a change in pregnancy category to reflect the fact that its more dangerous than once thought. Topamax has been found to cause oral clefts (cleft lip and cleft palate) as well as something called hypospadias which is a genital defect when taken during pregnancy. The chances of these birth defects are low, but they are apparently prevalent enough to warrant lawsuits, which look like they are going on now.
  
  In my opinion, why chance it? Taking folic acid before and during your pregnancy can greatly reduce the chances of any side effects, but talk to your doctor about safer alternatives to take while you are pregnant or not taking an antiepileptic at all for a period of time if there is no real danger to your health or the baby's health. I found this website to be extremely helpful concerning <a href="http://www.topamaxbirthinjury.com">topamax risks during pregnancy</a>..
• Question:-How long before Topamax changes the taste of carbonated drinks?
  I started on Topamax 3 days ago at 25mg each day for a week. I go up each week 25 mg till I reach 100mg. I am just wondering how long I have before it changes the taste of carbonated drinks?
  
  Answer:-I noticed a change within about a couple weeks.
• Question:-What are the physical withdrawal symptoms of Topamax?
  I recently went off the medication, Topamax, with the instructions of my doctor and a gradual decrease. Ever since I have been completely off of the medication I have been so nauseous and dizzy. It has been a week and I am still feeling this way. I can't find any information on the withdrawal symptoms of Topamax, other than the increased chance of seizures. Am I suffering from withdrawal and how long will it last?
  
  Answer:-I cannot find any info as of yet either. I stopped taking it yesterday and i too am dizzy as a bat!! Nausea is one of the main reasons i stopped it and that hasnt changed as of yet. I was down to 15mg (sprinkle caps) and yesterday i took none. Probably not much help, but wanted u to know you arent alone!
• Question:-What dose of Topamax did you start noticing weight loss?
  I starting taking 100mg of Topamax for migraines. It you lost weight on Topamax, what dose were you on and how long had you been on it? And what was your start weight and how much did you lose?
  Also, I take it in the morning, but I've noticed a lot of people take it at night. Is it supposed to be taken at night?
  Laurie- I'm not taking this medicine to lose weight. It's a very common side effect and I was wondering how it worked for different people.
  
  Answer:-I take it at night because it says that one of the side effects may be potential drowsiness, so I started taking it at night to be on the safe side because I drive to work in the morning. It doesn't really matter if it is taken in the a.m. or p.m.
  I started noticing weightloss when I was on the 25mg dosage after about a month. I lost 10lbs. I am on the 50 mg dosage now. My weight hasn't changed. I take it for migranes.
• Question:-How many days after begining Topamax will I continue to have headaches?
  I began a 50mg dose of Topamax 4 days ago due to be increased to 200mg by the end of the month. I am taking it for migraines. The headaches are so bad they are imparing my functioning. It gets right behind my right and left eyes. Is this normal and how long will it last?
  
  Answer:-Topamax is used for seizures in some patients & also it seems to help headaches, It takes until you reach the full dose your doctor prescribed to see if it will help you. If it doesn't help when you reach your 200mg call your Doctor.
• Question:-Switching from Topamax to generic topiramate for seizure control?
  Due to health insurance issues, I have been forced against my neuro's advisement to switch to the generic for topamax for seizure control. I am wondering if anyone out there has had any adverse side effects when doing this. I have been on Topamax for 7+ years now and all side effects of the drug had weaned off. However, within 24 hours after making the switch, it is like I have never taken the drug before.
  Has anyone else encountered this experience?
  
  Answer:-Generics don't always have the exact same amount of medication in them. The dose may need to be adjusted. They also may have different fillers in them you could be allergic to.
• Question:-What are the side effects from stopping topamax?
  I stopped taking Topamax and now im itchy all over. Is this a side effect from the topamax or is it side effects from imitrex?
  
  Answer:-It's a sign of serious liver problems called pruritus.
• Question:-How less effective does Topamax make birth control pills like Yaz?
  Everywhere keeps saying that Topamax "might" make the contraceptives less effective but no one lists how "likely" this is to occur. My GF is taking about 125 mgs a day. She's been taking both pills for about 3 years and we haven't had any problems. Neither her doctor nor neurologist said anything about it to her.
  
  Answer:-at doses of 200mg per day or less, topamax has no effect on oral contraceptives. see study
  results:
  At dosages of 200 mg or less, topiramate as daily monotherapy in healthy volunteers does not have a significant interaction with oral contraceptives, researchers reported here on April 1st at the 55th Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Neurology.
  
  results of a 2004 study:
  Unlike old AEDs such as phenytoin and carbamazepine, topiramate is a mild inducer and, currently, the only interaction observed as a result of induction by topiramate is that with ethinylestradiol. Topiramate only increases the oral clearance of ethinylestradiol in an oral contraceptive at high dosages (>200 mg/day)
• Question:-Taking 75mg of topamax want to start taking birth control but heard it alters effectiveness any suggestions?
  I'm taking 75mg of topamax I want to start taking birth control pills so my boyfriend and i can become more intimate but i have heard topamax alters the effectiveness of birth control pills any suggestions or experiences with this?
  
  Answer:-Doctors recommend using a second form of birth control because of the lowered effectiveness of the birth control pill, patch, and implant. Depending on what you are on Topamax for you may want to talk to your doctor about the effectiveness of the Topamax while on birth control. While I was on 200 mg of Topamax and the birth control pill my Topamax didn't seem as effective and when I recently went off the birth control I had horrible side effects of the Topamax. Dizziness, blurred vision, and loss of words.

cerebral palsy

• Question:-Cerebral palsy?
  I recently started working as a nanny. The family I work for has a 3 year old son with cerebral palsy and is blind. My question is what kind of activities can I do with him? Also does anyone know anything about this condition? I am a little educated with it but not as well as I would like to be.
  
  Answer:-My 2 year old son has cerebral palsy. He is not blind, but does have vision issues, and he also has some degree of mental retardation. Some kids with cp have mental retardation, and some kids don't.
  
  CP is a neurological disorder. The child's brain has either been injured (perhaps during birth, or oxygen deprivation at some point) or wasn't formed correctly during early pregnancy. The brain can't communicate with the muscles properly, and therefore the child can't control his body the way we do.
  
  My son loves to be held, loves music and when I sing to him, he loves the water (of course you must be very careful and never take you eyes off of him not even for a second - if the phone rings, ignore it; same with the doorbell, don't run and get a towel, nothing - you must keep your hands on him at all times!) I bet this kid you are nannying would love the pool (you'd have to go in with him and hold him) My son really loves movement, like swinging and when I toss him gently on the bed over and over. He loves it when I talk to him - at first it didn't seem to make a difference, but slowly he has realized that he can interact with me.
  
  Also, stretching his muscles several times a day is very important. Stretch out his hamstrings (back of his thigh) and his calves. Give him lots of time on his tummy so he can develop his arm and back muscles - very important.
  
  Just give him lots and lots of love and attention! What a difference you can make in this boy's life!
  
  Sorry for the book - I wish that I had someone I trusted to watch my son. Oh yeah, and what frogenstein said is true - he probably qualifies for Early Intervention services, where he can go and get all sorts of therapies and interact with other kids like him. This is really beneficial.

• Question:-cerebral palsy?
  I have a few question about cerebral palsy.
  
  What causes cerebral palsy and what are the symptoms
  
  What treatments can you go through to treat cerebal palsy
  
  Answer:-Cerebral Palsy is caused by a lack of oxygen at birth. Something basically went wrong and the baby did not receive all the oxygen it needed and a part of the brain became damaged.
  
  Symptoms include difficulty with limb control, speech control and muscular control. Leading to problems walking, talking etc.
  
  Treatment is really only to alleviate the symptoms as an area of the brain once damaged can only repair itself within limits. So really it is physiotherapy and leg, arm braces etc. Speech therapy and cognitive therapy. Medication can help if seizures are a problem.

• Question:-Cerebral Palsy.....?
  Has anyone heard that Cerebral Palsy is caused by a doctors malpractice? What do you think it is that causes this?
  
  Answer:-CP has many different causes, and sometimes the exact cause is never known. In my son's case it was caused by the doctors.
  
  He was face up while I pushed for 3 hours. The doctor NEVER showed up. He was deprived of oxygen, and as a result had seizures shortly after birth. My son's CP is a direct result of the doctor's negligence, I have the MRI to prove it. We are in the middle of a long, drawn-out lawsuit against the doctor, hospital, nurses and midwife that caused this lifelong struggle for my son.

• Question:-Can a person with cerebral palsy start to walk on their own if they pratice alot?
  i have cerebral palsy. i think that i can walk if i pratice alot. the other day i went to store and walk with my walker. now my legs are score and i cant pratice now. how can i make my legs less sore?
  
  Answer:-In my experience, the only way a person with CP will learn to walk is to learn how to do it with minimal effort. When you use the right muscles, walking should be almost effortless.
  
  Think about it...babies experiment by using different muscles and bending their bodies in different positions until they find the simplest way. We don't consciously think about breathing, we just do it. Walking should be easy, too.
  
  PT is the best way for a person with CP to learn how to do these effortless movements. My son couldn't sit up, crawl, or walk for a long time; much longer than the average child. After 3 years of PT, (age 3 1/2) he took his first steps. Now he's 5 1/2 and walking, running, jumping, climbing etc. We continue PT visits once weekly and he also practices at home.
  
  If you force walking before your body and brain learn the correct "tools" to master the movements correctly, I think you will be putting unecessary strain on your muscles and cause more pain for yourself.
  
  Make an appt. with a good PT that specializes in people with CP. They are out there, and they are VERY good at what they do. Good luck!
• Question:-What are the challenges of cerebral palsy?
  I am waiting to be a "Big Sister" in Big brothers, big sisters, and they have a possible match for me. She is a girl with cerebral palsy, and I don't know much about it. I have found info online, but it's very clinical and I just wanted some insight on the condition from real people.
  
  Any thoughts? Anything I should know about?
  
  Answer:-Basically it is caused by damage to the part of the brain that handles your motor skills and muscle control. It really varies from person to person so its hard to say exactly what challenges someone would have though.
  
  If her CP is more severe she might use a wheelchair or walker, and also it might be a little hard to understand her because the CP effects muscle control for talking too? Also a lot of people with cerebral palsy have this thing that makes their muscles really tense and they move involuntarily. I think thats what the other answer is talking about when she says her friend shakes. People will do stuff like shake or kick/move their arms or legs without trying, its just like signals from the brain so they can't control it?
  
  My sister has pretty severe CP and her legs just kick a little bit back and forth constantly like 24 hrs a day. She uses a wheelchair only to get around (noo walking) and I think people who don't know her usually have a really hard time understanding her unless she talks really slow. She can't write or do much with her hands but she can drive her wheelchair and eat by herself. But also I have a friend with really mild CP and he just walks with sort of a stiff limp and has bad handwriting/fine motor skills, basically he's just a little bit klutzy/awkward when he moves. Like I said, it varies a lot? Maybe someone at Big Brothers Big Sisters could tell you a little more about her before you meet her?
  
  Oh, also it is caused by brain damage but that doesn't always mean the person will have a mental disability too. Some people with CP will be mentally challenged and some will be average and some total geniuses.
• Question:-What are the chances of my child having cerebral palsy?
  My fiancee has cerebral palsy and we want to have a baby but wanted to know what are the chances that our baby would have it. Cerebral palsy runs on his side of the family but not mine. His grandad and a few of his uncles have it but what are the chances that our child would have it? It seems as if the ppl on his side of the family that have it are male so is it more likely that if we have a boy would he have it. Please help! Please no smart remarks...thank you in advance!
  
  Answer:-I have Cerebral Palsy and it is not a disorder that runs in families. Your fiancee's family might just have it just because. It is simply a lack of oxygen that causes brain damage in the areas of the brain that control balance and fine and gross motor.
• Question:-What do I do for someone who has cerebral palsy and is suffering from swollen feet?
  I know someone who has cerebral palsy and lately has been suffering with swollen feet and ankles. It looks like the swelling is moving upwards. He's been taken to the doctor numerous times, they just throw their cold lingo at you and move on. One said poor circulation but didn't give any information on how to solve the matter. He is in a lot of pain =/ any suggestions would help
  
  Answer:-The exact cause of the swelling needs to be identified to know the full range of treatment options. "Poor circulation" is too vague to know what is wrong. Maybe he could call the docs office to get a more complete explanation of the situation. Without knowing the exact cause, treatment options are limited to elevating the feet, getting some type of leg exercises if possible, and wearing pressure stockings that help clear fluids out of the legs.
• Question:-How can I help kids with cerebral palsy for a career?
  I have a mild case of cerebral palsy and my left hand and leg are a little weak. I'm a junior in high school and I contemplated on being a pediatric neurologist, but I heard being a physician is really stressful. I would like to have family time and normal work hours. I thought about having another profession, but I feel like I have cerebral palsy for a reason. Thank you in advance.
  
  Answer:-
• Question:-I have a mild case of cerebral palsy and need help with driving. What tools are out there to help me?
  It's a mild case of cerebral palsy. Only thing the matter is that my right hand is limp, i cant grab anything with it. Hence I need to grab a steering wheel when i drive. I have heard about steering control knobs or balls. What else is out there that could help me? I suppose this would make me be able to get a handicap sticker on my license plate too.
  
  Answer:-Car manufacturers are one of the most enthusiastic industries as far as special needs adaptations.
  
  You can indeed get a knob on the steering wheel, or a pin or a ring. You can also get floor-mounted steering, if your feet have more mobility than your hands.
  You can also get the gear shift, and other normally right-sided controls moved to the left.
  
  Even better, there are several resources, including the car makers themselves, that will fund, or help fund the modifications.
  
  There are many helpful links here:
  http://www.dynamic-living.com/article/car-accessories/
  
  Or, if you have a specific brand of car in mind, talk to your local dealership.
  
  You probably would qualify for a handicap parking sticker. But keep in mind that these are intended for people with mobility limitations. If you can walk without impairment, do you really need one?
