From what I was reading today regarding SOPA it sounds as if there is currently alot of opposition to SOPA/PIPA bills currently being addressed in the house and senate and apparently the Obama Administration is against these bills the way they are currently written so in my opinion i think the likelyhood of these bills being passed is very slim. Because if the Obama admin is against these bills the way they are currently written then he has the right to veto these bills and that would be the end of them.

1/4 cup smooth natural peanut butter
1/3 cup orange juice
3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
4 teaspoons canola oil, divided
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound sirloin steak, trimmed and thinly sliced (see Tip)
1 small head Savoy cabbage, thinly sliced
2-5 tablespoons water
2 medium carrots, grated
1/4 cup chopped unsalted roasted peanuts (optional)

Instructions:

1.Whisk peanut butter, orange juice, soy sauce, vinegar and sugar in a medium bowl until smooth.

2.Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add steak and cook, stirring, until browned and barely pink in the middle, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.

3. Reduce heat to medium. Swirl in the remaining 2 teaspoons oil. Add cabbage and 2 tablespoons water; cook, stirring, until beginning to wilt, 3 to 5 minutes. Add carrots (and more water if necessary to prevent sticking or burning) and cook, stirring, until just tender, about 3 minutes more. Return the steak and any accumulated juices to the pan, then pour in the peanut sauce and toss to combine. Serve sprinkled with peanuts (if using).]]> http://www.disabledonline.com/community/forum/what-s-cookin-31/beef-stir-fry-with-peanut-sauce/ Sat, 10 Dec 2011 23:55:30 +0000 sam1111 http://www.disabledonline.com/community/forum/introduce-yourself-don-t-be-shy-20/good-day/ I am new on here, just landed across this site, looking to meet loads of nice people, all ages, all countries, all walks of life...

As for me, I am a 27 year old spanis lady, my name is Sandra and I have been partially sighted since I was 11 days of age. That has never stopped me from achieving things in life, for example, a First Certificate Diplom through Cambridge University in England. I would say I am a bit "mad", but I reckon otherwise it would be boring. I am a happy go lucky person,

I was diagnosed with fibro a year ago, but I have had it from at least seven years old. I have unexplained hyperlaxativity in my joints that my parents tell me I have had since I was two and would wake up screaming because my dislocated a shoulder or slipped a hip. I had a lot of incompetent doctors who did things that made me much worse than I should have been. When I was 10 my doctors started me on vicodin, every 4 hours for the next 7 years. Luckily I did not have withdraw effects when my doc abruptly took me off vico.

I was hurt when I was seven, which led to the development of PTDS, anxiety, and paranoia. I also got genetic PCOS from my mother and that makes weight management impossible.

I have been through therapy, holistic treatments, acupuncture, massage, heat therapy, cold therapy, electro shock, and so forth. One would think I would be a pain specialist, but I still have no idea how to deal with my pain. I know how to escape it, but I cannot figure out how to really live with it.]]> http://www.disabledonline.com/community/forum/introduce-yourself-don-t-be-shy-20/hello-43/ Mon, 21 Nov 2011 20:32:45 +0000 Kraken http://www.disabledonline.com/community/forum/introduce-yourself-don-t-be-shy-20/dolphinrider-2/

I'm just joining. I'm 58 and live in Easthampton, MA, but am moving to Brooklyn, NYC.

I've had RSD, (Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy) for 14 years, and use a manual wheelchair for dancing, and a power chair outside. This is a central nervous system disorder of constant, excruciating pain, usually burning or freezing. The limb gets bright red, hugely swollen, and can't tolerate the slightest touch, like clothing. I'm telling all this, because it is often under-diagnosed. For me, it took 2 years. If it's caught within 6 months, the chance of cure is decent. So I want to spare others what happened to me. Sometimes, as with me, there is an injury to a nerve. Usually, it starts from a relatively minor trauma, like casting. Often, the limb becomes useless, even deformed. In legs, ulcers can develop. The disease can jump to additional, even all 4, limbs. Luckily, mine has stayed in my knee. I received some relief from multiple spinal and para-vertebral blocks in 2001 with Dr. Hooshmand in FL., but nothing else really works. He's been retired a while, and I don't know anyone else who does these injections. My pain remains burning. I do very poorly on oral medications, but do use Lidocaine topically, (right on my knee).

I'm a Classical Homeopathic MD, so I am very open to alternative treatments. I once had a response to one homeopathic remedy for months, where I could walk and dance until i closed the clubs down! But that remedy did not work on repetition. Still, that gives me hope that I could get cured through homeopathy. I've really tried a lot of conventional, Eastern, alternative, meditative, etc. ways.

My first partner while I was ill, was great. She is an O.T., who has some milder brain injury issues of her own. She had worked molding wheelchairs to kids, so she helped me out a lot. My choices since then haven't have been so good, though women certainly continued to find me attractive. I've been single now for 3 years, applying a strictly friendship first policy , for the first time in my life. Seems healthy.

I'm wonder if anyone here is interested in Occupy Everywhere, aka Occupy Wall St., aka the 99%? I correspond online with a woman who wants to create chemical-free, safe, charging sites for disabled folks and their PCAs, caregivers, and service animals at the occupy sites. If folks don't want to discuss that here, I'm fine with chatting just about other stuff.

So thanks.

P.S. I also have a moderate TBI, (Traumatic Brain Injury).]]> http://www.disabledonline.com/community/forum/introduce-yourself-don-t-be-shy-20/dolphinrider-2/ Sun, 13 Nov 2011 09:09:05 +0000 dolphinrider http://www.disabledonline.com/community/forum/medical-central-26/my-doctors-family-seemed-to-have-abandoned-me/ http://www.disabledonline.com/community/forum/medical-central-26/my-doctors-family-seemed-to-have-abandoned-me/ Mon, 07 Nov 2011 00:11:04 +0000 nsullivanjr http://www.disabledonline.com/community/forum/let-s-get-political-24/occupy-wall-street-and-other-protests/
