I took some time off work and off the internet during the holidays. A much needed break. My body actually does not intend to go back to work either and now I have a dreadful skin rash under my left eye: I look very similar to a sort of ugly Captain Hook without the eye patch (not to mention my totally frizzy wild hair that probably make me more similar to the Lion King). Well nobody actually noticed my skin rash, so it must not be so horrible; it is only a bit of self pity, I guess. Either that or I really know persons with good manners.
I have been reading a disturbing book, El contenido del silencio by Lucía Etxebarria. I actually could not put it down, despite some monologues that could have profited from some editing, and I ended up - as usual after I read her books - so looking forward to my normal plain life without any situation of despair and wickedness. Yet the book gave me hindsight on living in a sect. Very often I wondered why people – also intelligent and educated ones – get stuck in such environments and it was enlightening.
It sorts of help understanding also horrible events, such as what happened in Paris against Charlie Hebdo.
I always questioned why people living in Western countries would end up committing terrorist attacks without feeling a sense of remorse or a little awareness of the atrocious crimes they are perpetrating. Yet I guess that living an existence confined among reckless freaks in a sort of state of exaltation due to lack of sleep and drug abuse sort of ruin human beings into becoming monsters without a conscience.
Freedom of speech means that everyone should have the right to express her ideas.
Freedom of speech means that anyone feeling offended can ask the Judicial Authorities to have the content deemed as offensive removed or any other effective remedies provided for by law.
The killing of the journalists of Charlie Hebdo and the policemen defending them is simply wrong: no satirical offense can be used to justify an act against the law.
All my support goes to the journalists that fight everyday to make their voices heard and that risk their lives for it.

I became an orthopaedic surgeon because...
I wanted to meld my interest in physics with my desire to fix things and to help patients.
What is the most rewarding part of being an orthopaedic surgeon?
The most rewarding part of being an orthopaedic surgeon is seeing my patients walk into the office unassisted – returned to full mobility and function.
What do you like to do in your free time?
In my free time, I enjoy exercising and watching my children participate in soccer and dance.

was tonight.
Photos, thank you Kirsten.
Here's the band. Maria had to play tonight, and man was she mad. She was storming around here like a thundercloud. "So boring!" "So stupid!" "I hate this blouse!" I dunno. It's just a plain white blouse, and she plays a very fine oboe. The band sounded lovely.
Here are the graduates arriving at the field.
That's him, right in the center, looking up, the tall skinny guy:
Here they are being seated:
His name is called:
Receiving his diploma from the principal:
And Larry--here is his friend Larry, diploma in hand. He's going to state for track, running tomorrow, hurdles. Wish him luck--he's very fast. love, Val

It was astonishing to me that employees of this company were not aware of concepts such as gestational diabetes or insulin pump therapy or the differing types of people that live with the 3 main types of diabetes. It showed me that diabetes education is needed more than I think it is. It's made me think today that I take my 18 years of growing knowledge for granted. That I know a lot more than I think I do even though I'm learning I need to learn more. I found myself taking notes on concepts I already knew, but writing them down in the presenter's words—as I am trying to work on my medical vocabulary here. If I want to educate others later on down the road, I need to have the basic vocab so people believe what I am saying, and I need to be able to say it with confidence so my patients believe me. So I'm learning different ways to say the same thing. "My body doesn't all that it needs to digest my food" is basically trying to say as "Due to an autoimmune deficiency in my body, my pancreas lacks the ability to secrete insulin, a hormone, that is needed to bind to receptors in the bloodstream to get glucose out and into the cells to prevent a buildup of glucose and maintain stable blood sugars." The later sounds a bit better, so I'm practicing when people ask me about my diabetes, to respond in an educated manner.
I even got to do some teaching today, sharing my experiences using the Novo Flex Pen with the safe, one time use needles that once inserted into the patient are safely closed automatically. My trouble with using this pen on patients in the hospital is that as the care provider, you are unable to determine if the needle has gone through the skin,as it is covered by a plastic safety cover, so I found myself asking patients, " Did you feel that?" to ensure I had administered the medication. That would be absolutely horrible if you just pushed the button thinking the injection was administered, but the needle had not gone through. It was comforting that others had this same worry and it was interesting to discuss.
At one point, the presenter discussed why the Novo twist off needle for only Novo pens was not being promoted by the company anymore and other the regular needle made to fit any company's product was the main product to promote. Apparently, the company was losing money while promoting due to the popularity of the former product even though this product was in fact safer as it securely fastens on and ensures the patient of so by a loud click in place preventing wobbly needles and fear that the medication was not administered. It bummed me out to hear "because we were losing money". I haven't taken enough business classes to fully appreciate the money making side of companies… to me, it's all about patient care, and if the twist off needle is the safest, I want you to tell me so regardless if your company doesn't make an extra couple million. I guess this is why I should just stay at the bedside and not in aim to sit in a pantsuit behind a CEO desk.
I also enjoyed learning more about NovoSeven, Novo's drug to treat Hemophilia in patient's that have clotting disorders. Basically the drug works to activate the extrinsic pathway clotting cascade at Factor 7 to help the cascade in Factor 8 or 9 depending on the type of Hemophilia that is needed to create a fibrin plug in the bloodstream to stop bleeding, something that these patients have an inability to do.
I got to get hands on experience with Novo's products today, and it exposed me to a different side of the company. I know that not everyone in this company works behind computers all day staring at Clinical Trial Reports and making Subject ID bookmarks, so it was uplifting to know that there are people who are educating others on why this company exists- to make these products to change patient's lives. At the end of the day, that is why everyone here comes to work. I was surprised with the lack of knowledge in the company's products and the conditions they are used to treat among the employees I was with and wish that they would do basic training to ensure a companywide competency in understanding.

The small northwest town of Twin Peaks, Washington is shaken up when the body of the Homecoming Queen, Laura Palmer, is discovered washed up on a riverbank, wrapped in plastic. FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper is called in when Ronnette Pulaski, who attended the same high school as Laura, is found wandering on a bridge before lapsing into a coma. Cooper believes there is a connection between Laura's death and the death of another girl named Theresa Banks that happened a year earlier. Cooper discovers a small piece of paper with the letter "R" on it shoved under Laura's fingernail. He reveals to Sheriff Truman that under the nail of Thersa Banks he found a "T." There's little doubt the same killer has stuck again. Meanwhile, the rebellious Audrey Horne ruins a business deal for her father Benjamin; Twin Peaks sheriff Harry S. Truman arrests Laura's boyfriend Bobby, who is secretly seeing a married woman named Shelly; Laura's best friend Donna and secret boyfriend James discover a mutu

weight watchers anyone?
A bunch of co-workers seem to be doing well with their weight watchers diets.(Though their cabbage soup doesn't interest me) Does anyone know of a website to get the recipies for weight watchers? It is so expensive to join and I just can't swing it. I know everything has a point and you are allowed so many in a day. Thanks.('Scuse me, my stomach was growling.)

licensed practical nurse on a CSU/Medical floorJul 9, '02Sure, just go to www.weightwatchers.com
you can also join online; it's cheaper, I thinkJul 9, '02Just some free advice, if you don't mind. It doesn't matter what weight loss plan you choose, if you go back to your old evil ways you will gain it all back. I lost a lot of weight on weight watchers and fell right back into my sweet tooth habits and gained it all back plus 15. If you aren't going to change your lifestyle permanently, just stay at the weight you are because yo yoing is so much worse than being over weight as far as your health is concerned.
Good luck.Jul 9, '02Yup, fedupnurse's advice is right on the money. I also lost weight with Weight Watchers two years ago and gained it back. I'm now following the plan on my own and am slowly losing the weight, but I must see it as a lifetime "plan", not a temporary diet. The battle is in the mind... :stoneJul 9, '02True......you end up having to change your diet and "SHUDDER" exercise......could be why I am still big umm I mean healthy,lol

Here's the Problem: Melissa Joan Hart and Joey Lawrence both known from Dancing with the Stars (and my 10 year old fantasies) are making comebacks – starring in an ABC Family sitcom about… who cares. More disturbing is a Showtime series starring an aging Matt Leblanc called Episodes, about Matt LaBlanc being a crappier version of Matt LaBlanc.
Actual Problem: Remember when LaBlanc played a pathetically bad actor on Friends? And then he got to do it again on Joey? I think he's taking this method acting too far.

|Companies from Ukraine, Russia, China, India and from several West European countries are interested in buying the former US Steel unit in Serbia - Zelezara Smederevo, news agency Tanjug quoted the state secretary at Serbia's finance ministry, Dusan Nikezic, as saying. "We have a number of potential participants in the tender and that is why we expect it will be successful," Nikezic told TV broadcaster B92. The Serbian government said on April 12 it adopted a decision to open a tender, seeking a strategic partner for Zelezara Smederevo. Eligible bidders should be active in iron ore mining and have to produce pig iron, coke, steel and ferro-alloys. They should have generated at least EUR 1bn revenue in 2011, or the value of their assets has to amount to EUR 1.5bn. Interested companies can apply for purchasing transaction documents until April 27 and file their binding bids until May 4. The government added it will publish the tender invitation in local papers and in Financial Times and will also send it directly to all big global steel producers. The cabinet in Belgrade bought back the steel mill from US Steel for a token price of USD 1 at the end of January. US Steel decided to leave the company after it could not manage to recover its crisis-hit business. Several potential investors have already indicated their interest in Serbia's largest exporter. Last month, the owner of Luxemburg-based metallurgy holding United Group, Igor Samis, met government officials, expressing interest in the Serbian steel mill. United Group comprises Czech manufacturer Pilsen Steel and Russia's BumMash. Local media also reported that Ukrainian steel producer Donetskstal visited Zelezara Smederevo in March and could file a bid in the tender. The Smederevo-based steel mill generates 5% of Serbia's total production and around 14% of the country's exports. It employs about 5,500 workers. US Steel acquired in 2003 insolvent Serbian steel company Sartid. The acquisition included a steel plant and a river port located in Smederevo, central Serbia, a tin mill in the western town of Sabac and a limestone mine and processing unit in the eastern town of Kucevo.

Planning your trip to Tokyo but not sure of the best time to come? There are pros and cons to each season.
Outside of the Christmas-New Year corridor, winter is off-season for Tokyo and tickets will not be too expensive. The weather is cold (hovering as cold as 5ºC/41ºF), but tends to be sunny without much snow. The lack of central heating may chafe if you're staying in an old traditional place or a home, but if you're in modern hotels, you probably won't notice.
Christmas is low-key in Japan, with a few people going on dates, others eating chicken and cake, and most people going to work on the day, with a few scattered Christmas markets and holiday light displays. And rather than being party time, the new year is a time spent in reflection with family. The most excitement anyone gets up to is visiting a shrine to welcome the new year. You will find that many businesses will be shut in the first few days of the new year—though thankfully many ATMs have started working over the holidays (someone must have cottoned on to the fact that machines don't need national holidays). A winter bonus is that it's a wonderful time to enjoy traditional onsen (hot spring) or sento baths. Finally, if you want to head north, there are some spectacular snow and ice festivals to take in.
If you ask most Japanese people what their favorite season is, they will say either spring or autumn. Cherry blossom season is, of course, peak visiting season for many travelers, and for good reason. People all over the country fall into a dreamy, picnicking haze for a week or two in spring, and everyone stops to smell the roses, or in this case, to appreciate the fleeting pink sakura. The date of the opening of the first blossoms is a much-discussed event, and the timing naturally varies a bit every year—but usually starts around late March. Be sure to check our yearly cherry blossom forecast as the season approaches.
Early spring (i.e. March) can have quite a few bitterly cold days mixed in with warmer weather, but by April things have evened out pretty well, and May is downright blissful. Beware of Golden Week—when the whole country takes about a week off starting on April 29th and every train, museum, park, and movie theater is chockablock with holiday makers. Outside of Golden Week, mid-May sees major traditional festivals, like Sanja Matsuri and Kanda Matsuri, both which welcome hordes of visitors.
Furthermore, late May and early June heralds the beginning of tsuyu, or "plum rains"—a torrentially rainy season that stretches on most of a month. Not to worry if this is the only time you can visit though, there are plenty of rainy day activities for exploring Tokyo.
If you hate sweating, humidity, and tropical heat, then summer here is probably not the season for you. If you like to get into it with the sweltering masses, pressing moist flesh in a crush of humanity, welcome to summer in Tokyo! Vacillating between extreme humid heat (called mushi atsui in the local parlance) and ice-box cold aircon blasting in restaurants and department stores, Tokyo can be an exercise in frustration, as outside weather warrants the shortest of shorts and sheer shirts, while a cardigan and leggings will have you in good stead indoors. Many Tokyoites escape the city in the summer, heading to the cool green of the mountains for some relief.
A major bonus to visiting during this season is that summer festivals are plentiful, ranging from small local neighborhood matsuri with a few hundred attendees to major celebrations like the Awa Odori festival held in Koenji in late August, with up to a million revelers. Summer festivals are a fascinating and fantastically fun window into Japanese culture, with street food, people decked out in traditional clothing, with folk dancing and music, and often capped off with a fireworks display. Be aware: for a week in mid-August, the whole country takes off for Obon, the week of remembrance for dearly departed ancestors, and many people travel back to their hometowns to pay familial respects. It's another week where transit is sure to be backed up.
Summertime is also the only time casual climbers can make the trip up Mt.Fuji, from July to early September. For the skinny on how to get there, what to bring, where to sleep and more, check out our article on how to climb Fuji.
New Video: Getting Wifi In Japan
Our guide to prepay SIM cards, wifi routers, cafe wifi and other places to quickly find wifi whilst visiting Japan.
Fall in Tokyo is easy to love, characterized by long lazy days with mild weather, long sunny evenings perfect for terrace drinking, and great temperatures for outings. This is also the harvest season, and there are a great many autumn delicacies to be had around this time of year, like pastries made from kabocha squash, chestnuts, and sweet potato.
Autumn also brings koyo—changing of the leaves—which is another a national event, with many people making a concerted effort to get out and enjoy the fall colors, especially the maple and gingko. The best colors usually start emerging in November or December, and there are many spots in the city to see the fall foliage. This is the perfect time for a hike along a nearby trail.
Be warned: there's yet another (shorter) string of holidays in the fall dubbed "Silver Week," taking place in late September. This is a potentially busy time that could make traveling a hassle.
Ultimately, the best time to visit Tokyo comes down to each traveler's likes and preferences—but we feel there's never really a bad time to visit.

One Response to "When's the Best Time to Visit Tokyo?"
I visited for my first time from 29th December to 14th January. I loved the feeling and festivities of New Year, especially as I am a fan of shopping. All the lucky packs and sales were awesome! The deals are so so good during New Year so even though ticket prices may be cheaper during other times, I feel I saved a lot of money thanks to the sales haha. I would really like to visit Japan again during New Year!

Letter To Editor : IF 10K CABBIES CAN DEMO, WHY CANT 10K CABBIES DONATE.
2 comments:
- Lucy Silver said...
Spot on.The crowd funding project as good idea or meaning as it is has highlighted this for all to see the make up of your average cab driver. Even the so called biggest org only has a few thousand members, and most only join for no other reason than the in house lawyer should they get in trouble..
Mostly forgotten by many now but look how the trade was steam rollered at the Olympics. Weak orgs with minimum membership, who's biggest threat is a 2 hour compliant demo every now and then..big deal!
- Damian said...
Would like to agree more but i can't. Absolutely spot on. donating £25 wouldn't hurt anyone. So hard to work out why we haven't managed it! If I was TFL or poober I d be wetting myself with laughter at us! Come on trade, lets wipe the smile off there face, at that price it's worth a punt isn't it?

Sunny weather socks
On this first summer weekend of perfect weather I had the good fortune to find myself in a Muskoka Chair at the shore of Lake Erie. A perfect spot to get to work on my first Glynis sock. The pattern is not complicated - although I'll admit, it took me more than one try to get through the first few repeats of the lace pattern. But now that I've finished five repeats, I've pretty much got it down, knock on wood. Unlike most Cookie A. patterns there's not a lot of drama. No travelling stitches. No complicated charts. Short easily memorized pattern rows. Plain knit on alternate rows. But an attractive and comfortable result, I think.
And over the next couple of days I'm going to have a look at dishcloth patterns to knit. I have a few balls of dishcloth cotton from my Mom ... when the cottage owner asked if I could knit a couple of dishcloths for her, it seemed like an ideal way to use them.

Hope you're having a great time. Yay, dishclothes. My grandma likes to make those too so you'll have to let me know a good source for the cotton. Pretty much just natural available in England I'm told.

Did you find a pattern for your dishclothes? 5 1/2 mm needles, cast on 37 stitches and garter stitch for 10 inches. Nice and soft. I tried a crochet pattern - too thick, though would be nice for placemats. Now I'm off to look for more patterns, and can you believe it ... I'm knitting!!! One of the balls of wool has a nice looking pattern that you knit in a diamond shape but it's far too tiny to read.

en Osteoid osteoma of a scapula: a case report in a 34 years old woman Orthopedic Orthopedic case report case report  Osteoid osteoma is a benign bone tumor and accounts for 10% of benign tumors. Almost any bones can be involved but half of cases involving femur or tibia. Osteoid osteoma is a rare tumor of the scapula with only 18 reported cases in the literature. We presented a case of osteoid osteoma of the scapula in right shoulder in angle of coracoid and geloneid in a 34- year old woman. She had right radicular shoulder pain increased at night for 4 years. An important point about this case is that, patient was treated in long-term with miss diagnosis of cervicospinal discopathy. The key of diagnosis in this patient was paying attention to the nature of night increasing pain and performing bone scan. After the operative curettage of the tumor, the pain dramatically stopped and a few weeks of physical therapy led to full range of motion in her shoulder.

The internet has revolutionized how business is done and marketing via email in one of those exciting new innovations. E-mail marketing can be one of the most effective ways to reach customers and to offer them special deals and information. The information and tips in this article can help you use e-mail marketing to bring new life to your business.
Offer a coupon to customers who sign up for your marketing email list. Put a form on your website where customers can sign up and set the form to email automatically new customers a coupon when they submit the form. This encourages customers to agree to allow you to send them marketing materials so that you won't be accused of sending out spam.
Slowly build your contact list. Start with those who have already appreciated what you offer and then move on to areas where you can engage your prospects. It can take a while to pick whom should be receiving your emails, but it'll be worth it in the end to build a reliable contact list.
if you run out of ideas for your marketing via email campaign, try allowing your customers to assist you. Do things like write down questions that you receive from customers. Then when you go to send the next email, you have a topic. Make sure to include the customer's name for credit too.
Ensure that every email address on your list has given explicit permission to receive emails from your business. People will not take your business seriously if you send spam. You may lose many of your customers, which is the total opposite of your marketing goals!
To make a clear and memorable impact with every email, keep your marketing messages short and sweet. Every email should have a very clear message and should only include information, media and links that are completely relevant to that message. A succinct but convincing email will be easier for your readers to absorb than a windy message that tries to force too many points.
For your e-mail marketing campaigns to be truly effective, every message needs a clear call to action. For example, if you are promoting a new product then you should encourage customers to go directly to that product's page. On the other hand, if you are promoting a new sale then you should clearly explain how customers can take advantage of that sale.
It is a proven fact that the internet has brought about many revolutionary changes to the business world. Email marketing has become one of the easiest and mot effective ways to reach customers and offer them deals and updates. Use the tips and hints from the article above to make sure that your emails give you and your customers what they want.Join only the BEST in Network Marketing, Join Royale!

I have been on a little bit of a S'mores kick lately. Anything with marshmallows, graham crackers, and chocolate combined makes an excellent flavor and it's hard to beat. There is something so great about a childhood favorite food. They can bring back memories in one second with the rich smell that fills up your kitchen and with one single bite. When I was a kid we used to toast marshmallows in our fireplace but I was too scared to get near the real fire. So, I would put my marshmallow on the clothes hanger and pretend to roast mine under the coffee table 🙂 That's why I love bite size food so it just seemed right to pair the two together! When these bite size S'mores are right out of the oven, they are melt in your mouth delicious! Hope you enjoy and get make some memories 🙂
I could eat marshmallows by themselves for a dessert! I love the texture and they way they melt in your mouth! Sooo delicious!
7 graham crackers, finely crushed
6 tbsp butter, melted
1/4 cup powered sugar
12 large marshmallows,cut in half
4 bars, divide into individual squares, set aside 24 squares for melting and 24 for baking
1. Preheat Oven to 350°F
2. Put graham crackers in a bowl and finely crush into crumbs with fork or potatoes smasher. Add melted butter and powered butter to crumbs. Mix well.
3. Scoop 1 tbsp of crumb mix into mini muffin pans. Press into pan to form shallow cups. A tablespoon works well to help form this cup (refer to picture).
5. Bake cups 4-5 minutes
6. While cups are baking, melt 24 squares of chocolate, microwave on high 1 to 1.5 minutes or until melted, stir every 20 seconds.
6. Remove cups from oven and place one hard candy square and one marshmallow half, cut-side down, in the cups.
7. Place back into the oven and bake 1-2 minutes or until the marshmallows are soften.
8. Remove cups from oven.
9. Scoop 1 to 1.5 tsp of melted chocolate over the top of each marshmallow.

GROUP NAME: Parkour
GROUP PROJECT: roma 10 s.maria d.pieta
GROUP MEMBERS: Moe Elsayed, Edwin Arbito, Tim Madrid, Caio Moretti
ASSIGNMENT: workshop 1
Frame 2 – aqueduct
Frame 6 – plains
Frame 7 – fountain
The time spent at Santa Maria della Pieta revealed two varying phenomena dependent on which side of the wall we were on.
A modern map is an objective representation of control. Aboriginist maps were tales just as Greek mythology was a map; stories that carried subjective concerns through language that expressed the dangers or descriptions of a specific element so generations would know how to successfully navigate or overcome land or obstacle in the event they knew the story.
Our maps consisted of navigating from one point to another, interacting with our surroundings naturally rather than follow the graphic signage that served as a wayfinding device. Just like the practice of parkour, preconceptions were abolished in order to utilize our designated sites that was most advantageous to us opposed to obeying the rules in which society had alotted us. This provided two different results, where Parco Pineta, one of Rome's last remaining vestiges of wilderness, allowed for a more free procession through space where the multiple layers and thresholds are woven together allowing for more decisive paths. Inside the walls of Santa Maria della Pieta proved to be more restrictive, where the autonomous bodies of the pavillions

Bad luck calls attention to itself. Good luck can be easier to overlook. We just take it for granted when things go well. But we grumble all too easily when things go badly.
So I make it a practice to try to look on the bright side of what seems like bad luck. I try to acknowledge examples of the anti-Murphy's Law: sometimes, lots of things could go wrong, but don't.
Yesterday, for example, I had to admit that my flat tire occurred under the best circumstances possible. Doesn't it seem like car trouble always happens when you're running behind schedule, heading to somewhere you urgently need to be, and it's dark or freezing cold or raining or ninety degrees in the shade, and there's no one available to help?
Not yesterday, and that was what I kept reminding myself as I waited for hours in the tire repair shop. My flat tire happened just after noon as I was heading to the office for an afternoon shift that could go on just as efficiently without me. It was about 55 degrees out and sunny, and my husband was working from home for the day. I had a jacket and sensible shoes on; I didn't need to go to the bathroom, and I had neither children nor dog in the car with me.
Car trouble doesn't get much better than that.
I tried to keep this in mind as I waited impatiently for my husband to meet me on the highway shoulder, and as I waited impatiently for him to put on the spare tire, and as I waited some more at the tire shop for the original tire to be replaced. By all rights, this should have been much worse, I reminded myself. Truly, the biggest thing I could complain about was that I had packed myself a delicious lunch to eat in the office and it was sitting in my car in the service bay, so as I sat in the comfortably appointed waiting area, I was growing increasingly hungry.
But even that seemed trivial. So many factors could have made the situation so much worse. Just a day earlier, having attended a late-afternoon wake for a friend's father, I'd been driving through the dark streets of an unfamiliar city. And then I met Rick and the kids for dinner, and Rick left early in his own car and I let Tim drive home so that he could get some nighttime highway practice. We could have had our flat tire after dark, with Tim at the wheel.
Or it could have been cold or hot or rainy, or Rick could have been out of town, or I could have been driving to the airport to catch a flight. I could have been in a tunnel, on a bridge, in a construction zone.
But none of these was the case. It was midafternoon on a warm sunny autumn day when I heard the rackety-rack sound characteristic of a flat tire. I pulled onto an extra-wide shoulder on a stretch of highway fifteen minutes from home and waited for Rick to bail me out.
And bail me out he did. Sure, I should know how to change my own tire. But I don't. Roadside assistance is good; a willing husband is better. And yesterday, with all the circumstances in my favor, was the best of all. Bad luck happens. But this was about as good as bad luck gets.

Casa del Conte is located in the oldest and most noble area of the city, close to the Duomo and Piazza del Campo.
The windows of the rooms overlook the characteristic Piazzetta del Conte, in the heart of the Contrada of the Pantera, and one of the two entrances to access overlooks an ancient and characteristic alleyway.
The quiet location, but in the middle of the pulsating heart of the city, creates an elegant and refined atmosphere.

It's Take Two for Cardinals reliever Adam Wainwright with the Memphis Redbirds.
The 'Birds hosting New Orleans at AutoZone Park Monday Night
Wainwright struggled in his first Rehab Start against the Zephyrs last Friday, throwing just 27 pitches and allowing 3-runs.
Tonight he's much sharper, going 3 innings, striking out two.
He did give up a couple runs... Mike Nickeas stripes one off the wall in left scoring a run.
But overall Wainright says he feels a lot better out there...the velocity is back in the low 90's and he's making progress.
The Redbirds lose by the way 3-2.
After the game, Wainwright had these comments.
"In the 3rd inning I was feeling good. In fact the last batter was the strongest I felt in the game. I don't ever think about my finger anymore and that's a positive."
Wainwright is scheduled to make at least One More Start with the Redbirds.
The 'Birds open a series against the Round Rock Express Tuesday night at AutoZone Park.

I've had a very crafty week this week but can't post any of it! I firstly got the scraplift done and will be passing that to Lauren today (Kim's moving house at the moment so has gone to the end of the list). I've also been making my crafting mentor Marie a birthday present; it's something I've never tried before and it looks cool, but I can't post that until she's seen it! Also been making birthday cards galore but again, they're not all given out yet so no posting! I'll do a long crafty post one of these days!!
Friday, 16 May 2008
So, with today's financial climate, things are looking pretty grim for our generation's retirement prospects. So, what to do? Well, make sure your kids earn stacks of cash and look after you in your old age of course!
Emily's firmly on the road to becoming a pop star, with her Hannah Montana obsession and daily concerts for her Barbies in her bedroom. But, what to do with the boy? Hmmm! Well, I was hoping rocket scientist but that one's a bit hard to judge as he can only say 'fish' and 'woof woof' at the moment (oooh, but maybe a vet?!). So, the other route we're going down is Premiership football player! So, for a month now he's been going to Socatots which is basically a football club for toddlers. I think he's got it down quite well actually, he can throw himself on the floor and cry like a big girl anyway, isn't that what £50,000-a-week footie players do?!
Anyway, today he got his soccer kit. It was so cute seeing them all run around in matching kits, looked like a proper little footie team! I especially love the socks with the little podgy knees sticking out at the top!

Bless Billy Jim in his footie uniform! Too cute.
I'm gutted there isn't a socatots near us..... I'll have to think of some other high paying profession to shove Egg into. I think Mum's got designs on him being a tennis pro (so she can get free Wimbledon tickets!)

London: Singer Kelly Osbourne is nursing a swollen eye after she was bitten on the face by a spider.
The daughter of rock legend Ozzy Osbourne paid a visit to her doctor after her cheek swelled up, leaving her looking fearful, reports contactmusic.com.
"I got bit by what my doctor thinks is a spider under my eye and I look like I got punched... I spent all day with my dad feeling all sorry for myself looking like Quasimodo! On the plus side we had a family dinner tonight. We have not all been in the same room since X-Mas except without fighting (sic)," Osbourne posted on her Twitter page.

I'd been wanting to start a blog of my own for quite some time and The Mocha Monster Rants is the end result of this wish. While I'm definitely new to blogging and the business, if it can be said to be a business per say, I hope to make this into a continual thing detailing my weight loss journey, my life, and my goals of becoming a chef and a writer in-between random fluffy pieces and political/religious/first world problem rants fueled by five cups of coffee.
Thanks for reading! Hope you enjoy!

I was lucky enough to get an early opportunity to try out the Canon 5D Mk111 last weekend…..
I have to admit that the controls were set to automatic, as I hadn't had time to read up at all on settings etc. I thought that it would make sense to use the 24-105 lens, as it would give me flexibility, and I took all these shots without flash.
There were a lot of distracting backgrounds and the depth of field 'foxed' me a few times – however I was extremely pleased with the results… The clarity was amazing – and I managed to achieve blurred backgrounds on auto mode !! Most shots were taken between 85 – 100 mm, and the best subject matter without a doubt was the posse of excited children – my cousins' offspring – so Gorgeous and so Innocent……!!!

Garrison Keillor And Unitarian*Universalist aka U*U Purging Of God And Jesus From Christmas Carols And Christian Hymns
I have not said all that much about Garrison Keillor's alleged or actual anti-Unitarian "rant" on this blog yet. I have however made a number of comments on various U*U blogs that have devoted a post or two to discussing, or indeed "ranting" against. . . the "perceived insult" of Garrison Keillor's satirical, or indeed "less than satirical", rant against Unitarians aka Unitarian*Universalists that was originally published in the Minneapolis Star Tribune, and picked up by the Chicago Tribune, the Baltimore Sun and various websites like Salon.com. I expect that I will say a few things here soon enough, but for the time being I am posting a comment that I just submitted in response to Rev. Debra Haffner's blog post responding to Garrison Keillor's "rant" entitled 'A Response to Garrision (sic) Keiller: Our Unitarian Universalist Christmas' on her 'Garrison Keillor And The U*U Movement: What's The Connection?' blog. :-)
I am pretty sure that Garrison Keillor *actually* concluded,
"Christmas is a *Christian* holiday – if you're not in the club, buzz off."
Not unlike how *some* U*Us are wont to effectively say, in one way or another. . .
"This Unitarian Church is *actually* an Atheist Social Club – if you're not in the club, buzz off."
Garrison Keillor seemed to be quite specifically sharing his concerns (as it were) about the rather problematic U*U propensity to remove any and all reference to God and Jesus from traditional Christian hymns, not just Christmas carols by any means. . . in a manner that is not all *that* far removed from the Stalinistic purging of persona non grata from historical records and similar "memory holing" as described in George Orwell's 1984.
Or at least that is how I read his saying -
"I discovered that "Silent Night" has been cleverly rewritten to make it more about silence and night and not so much about God. . ."
I have reasonable grounds to believe that is precisely why he went on to say -
"it is wrong, wrong, wrong to rewrite "Silent Night." If you don't believe Jesus was God, OK, go write your own damn "Silent Night" and leave ours alone. This is spiritual piracy and cultural elitism and we Christians have stood for it long enough."
Perhaps Garrison Keillor should have spoken about spiritual vandalism. . . Besides being comparable to Stalin's purging of the images and historical records of political rivals, the Unitarian purging of God and Jesus from many if not most U*U hymns is not that far removed from how some ancient Egyptian pharaohs chiseled out the cartouches of problematic predecessors from their monuments.
I happen to believe that *those* concerns of Garrison Keillor are quite legitimate having seen no shortage of U*U hymns that have been subject to the UUA's Stalinist "pogrom" against God. How many "churches" do you know of where a "pastor" can dogmatically preach from the pulpit that God is "a non-existent being" and that belief in God "seems primitive"? Heck I well recall how Rev. XXXXXXX XXXXX of the Unitarian Church of XXXXXXXX (just making a point while complying with the Code of Silence that is written into the UUMA Guidelines that I am not actually a party to in any case. . .) somewhat gratuitously concluding a Sunday sermon in which he spoke about witnessing bush fires in Australia by declaring -
"God can be a son of a bitch."
Not that God *can't* be a bit of an S.O.B. every now and then. . . but this is hardly the kind of public pronouncement that one expects to hear from the minister of any "church" during a Sunday service.
So it would *appear* that when Unitarians aren't busy purging any mention of God or Jesus from their hymnals *some* Unitarians are busy publicly denying the very existence of God or even calling God an S.O.B. in front of a "captive audience". I am pretty sure *that* is more or less what Garrison Keillor was "ranting" about.

Rock 'n Roll Fridays: Smashing Pumpkins
Welcome to Rock 'n Roll Fridays!
We are like other memes in that we will ask you thirteen questions each and every Friday.
But our little "twist" is that each week we will pick a singer, band, era or category and pick thirteen of their lyrics. Each of our questions will be based on the lyrics. Got it? Great! Let's begin this week's meme!
Today we picked Smashing Pumpkins. (The song titles and the lyrics are in bold)Here's Rock 'n Roll Fridays!
1. 1979
"Shakedown 1979, Cool kids never have the time. On a live wire right up off the street, You and I should meet".
Where were you in 1979?
In 1979 I was 15, in 9th grade, and lived in Southfield, Michigan. (Boring enough?)
"And if they steal your life, your heart is still mine. Your song, you sing, a truth, there's no other. I want to believe in you dear."
What song do you love to sing along with?
"Overkill" by Colin Hay... but I sing along to a LOT of songs!
"Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage. Someone will say what is lost can never be saved. Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage".
When was the last time you felt like a rat in a cage?
I'm not really sure what that means, impotent rage? In that case, yesterday at work!
"I remember dreaming, Wishing, Hoping, Praying for this day. Now I sit and watch them, the little ones I love".
What day are you dreaming, wishing, hoping, praying for?
The day I win the lottery, although I'm not praying for it. In more realistic terms, I dream of the day I'll finally break 200 in bowling. I've come close (197) but I've never quite reached it.
"I used to be a little boy, so old in my shoes. And what I choose is my voice. What's a boy supposed to do?"
What did you bring to SHOW n TELL as a child to school?
I can't even remember having Show & Tell at school, but it was a LONG time ago. I probably brought my latest 'cool' toy.
"Supper's waiting on the table. Tomorrow's just an excuse away. So I pull my collar up and face the cold, on my own. The Earth laughs beneath my heavy feet."
When and where do you generally eat supper?
Weekdays we eat dinner right when I get home from work just after 6 p.m.
I sit in my recliner and watch a little TV - then we'll usually go for a walk, go shopping or something after dinner. (So I'm not a total couch potato)
"To cleanse these regrets, my angel wings were bruised and restrained. My belly stings.
When was the last time your belly "stung"?
When I finished off the last of my chili, which was made with jalapeño and habañero peppers from my garden – spicy stuff!
(I rarely have worry-related stomach pain)
"Time is never time at all, you can never ever leave, without leaving a piece of youth. And our lives are forever changed. We will never be the same. The more you change the less you feel."
Despite the number, what age do you think you really are?
I have to say I'm right where I belong: 45. Of course, that's an average; mentally I often act 15, but physically I sometimes feel about 75.
"What if the sun refused to shine? What if the clouds refused to rain? What if the wind refused to blow? What if the seas refused to wave? What if the world refused it's turn?"
Do you believe the 2012 catastrophe will happen? If so, how are you preparing for it?
No, I don't believe a bunch of ancient Mayans (or Aztecs or anybody else) had some great insight into the future. (If they did, they're probably still be around!) They just made a nifty perpetual calendar by being observant and being pretty good at math. Remember 1984? 1999? 2000? 2001? All prophesized as being some kind of Doomsday. None of those were right either.
"Stay with me, I'll set you free. 'Cause I can tell you once were pretty. Rose, so sad you've lost your petals. Lost the luster off your tattle tales."
What celebrity has not aged well?
Robert Redford. Come on now, Bobby... you've got plenty of cash to tighten that face up at least a little bit!
(Wrinkles only add character when they're not your dominant feature)
"Who am I to you? Along the way, I lost my faith. And as you were, you'll be again. To mold like clay, to break like dirt. To tear me up in your sympathy."
What was the last thing you made out of dirt or clay?
It was a pinch-pot that I made in sculpture class in high school. But I'd like to take a pottery class and learn to use a potter's wheel to spin plates and bowl and such.
"Is it any wonder I found peace through you? Turn to the gates of heaven, to myself be damned. Turn away from eye, it's not enough, just a touch."
How do you find peace?
Take a right-turn off Selfishness, go down three blocks until you get to Self-Awareness. Head right down Self-Awareness until you get to Pride. (But if you reach Vanity you've gone too far) Just left of Pride you find Self-Sacrifice. Head down that until you finally reach Compassion. At Compassion, go right and you'll find Peace.
(Just don't forget to take that left turn at Abuquerque!)
"You must hold your truce alone. To make love happen, the moon must send you home. There's no place that I'd rather be".
When was the last time you walked in the moonlight?
I was out in the moonlight just last week, taking pictures of the full moon. I didn't walk around much though, since I had my tripod. (In fact, I mostly sat in a chair) I took about 100 pictures and I'll be posting a few of them in my Photo Blog once I have a chance to go through them all.

Finally, someone else who wasn't in diapers in '79. I was beginning to feel really old. You've mentioned bowling before. Do bowl in a league or just for fun?ReplyDelete
Have a great weekend!
My wife and I just started bowling on a league a few weeks ago. It's her first league. I bowled on a league years ago, but was never very good. (I'm still not good, but I enjoy it anyway)ReplyDelete
Interesting Eric, boring no --not in the least,,,, I think I was in 79? trying to figure out how to make wine-must?ReplyDelete
Man I can SO relate to both the acting 15 thing and sometimes my body feels 75!!ReplyDelete
Cool answers Eric! I bowl badly but have a wicked curve. I love those bowling alleys that put up slats for child players so they don't get gutters...I need that for me. Colin Hay is i.e. Men at Work when he did Overkill...love that song too and him! I agree 2012 is another hyped up catastrophe...the movie was pretty lame too. lol Have a great weekend Eric!ReplyDelete
Mr. Redford totally skipped my mind. So true about his wrinkles--but I think he'd rather have those than the craters.ReplyDelete
Your "peace" answer rocks, but I did forget that left...just like Bugs.
I'm not a good bowler...that's why I do karaoke instead. I'm only good when the bumpers are up.
Have a good one, Eric!
Yeah. Doomsday just doesn't worry me. When it's time, it's time and there will be nothing we can do about it. Psychics are another thing I don't buy...cause if they could really truly predict shit...why the hell can't anyone find Bin Ladin or any other notorious people like him?ReplyDelete
It's great to know something about you through your answers. Happy weekend!ReplyDelete
I was 21 in 1979 so I bet I was in a bar.ReplyDelete
love the way you find PEACE,ReplyDelete
what fun humor.

The market is currently wrapping up its best first quarter in 14 years. My opinion is that equities have run past where current economic conditions warrant. I think the market will probably have a good rest of the week as window dressing continues to add to gains in stocks that already had a stellar start to 2012. However, I believe the second quarter will be a different story and is likely to play out similarly to 2011 as some of the same issues are still present (the crisis in Europe, anemic domestic GDP growth, rising gas prices…etc). I plan to be more defensive in the second quarter and will allocate more of my portfolio to defensive, high yielding stocks. I have a shopping list of stocks I am looking to buy if they pull back. One stock I am looking to pick up for under $60 so it yields 6% is Holly Energy Partners (NYSE:HEP).
Holly Energy Partners - "Holly Energy Partners, L.P. operates a system of petroleum product and crude oil pipelines, storage tanks, distribution terminals, and loading rack facilities." (Business Description from Yahoo Finance)
6 reasons Holly is a solid dividend play at under $60 a share:
- It currently pays a solid 5.8% dividend and has doubled its payouts since coming public in 2004. It has increased distribution payments for 29 straight quarters.
- Consensus earnings estimates for both FY2012 and FY2013 have increased significantly over the past two months.
- Its 2500 miles of pipelines throughout the southwest are not impacted by fuel prices as it only provides transport services.
- HollyFrontier Corporation (NYSE:HFC) still retains a 42% interest in HEP. It also provides most of the fuel put through its pipelines which gives the company a stable source of revenues and supply.
- This is a low beta (.65) play that S&P projects will have 12% annual EPS growth on average over the next three years. S&P also has a "Buy" rating and a $68 price target on HEP.
- Holly Energy Partners holds an option to purchase the UNEV Pipeline from HFC. This would open up the Las Vegas market if HEP decided to exercise the option. It also just raised $300mm with a very reasonable 6.5% offering through 2020.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, but may initiate a long position in HEP over the next 72 hours.
