I've thought long and hard about posting on here as I know my partner would be less than impressed if he knew but I don't know where else to turn. Seeing as I'm new I suppose I had better start at the beginning!
My partner has CKD, has around 3% function and is currently on hemodialysis 3 times per week. He's in his late 20s and really struggling to cope, not that he will admit it! When we initially found out about his condition after a trip to A&E. There was a big panic and after a week of to-ing and fro-ing he was referred to the Outpatients clinic. I believed he was attending this but it eventually came to light that he wasn't. By this point he couldn't get out of bed in a morning. I eventually lost my temper (I'm afraid to say) and made him go to the doctors, upon which he was promptly rushed to hospital. The decision was made to start him on PD and all was "well" for a few weeks. Then he lost his job (as a result of being ill) and it was a slippery slope down from there. He got a new job but would frequently miss his dialysis as it made him so ill. Last summer he had a transplant from a close family member, which despite the best efforts of hospital staff lasted a couple of weeks. Getting him to do any form of PD after this was a nightmare, and just as we started to settle back into it he suffered from multiple bouts of peritonitis, ending up back in hospital again. At this point the decision was made to move to Hemo which is where we currently are.
We are still waiting to get back onto the transplant register as Psych want to see him before they sign him off but he wont go. We currently range from being on a high to "I'm going to die anyway so what is the point" on what can be an hourly basis and I don't know what to do. We are due to get married next year and I am desperate for us to have a honeymoon (which I know sounds shallow and selfish and a lot of other horrible words) but he wont find out about dialysis abroad and he wont let me speak to anybody. In fact trying to speak to anybody, or even attend a hospital appointment with him is impossible.
I'm sorry if this is long winded, and a bit whingy, but I truly am at my wits end and don't know where to turn anymore. I know it is his illness and I am in no way trying to detract from the severity of it. I guess I'm just hoping somebody has been where we are now and has survived!

Things to Remember When Taking An Instant Loan
An instant loan or a quick loan is a loan that is taken in case of an emergency money requirement. They are usually short tenure loans, so the interest rates are usually high. Getting an instant loan is often not a problem as there is lots of ethical licensed moneylender in Singapore offering such loans. But the problem is in choosing the right one. Sometimes the interest quoted by the lenders is quite high, even higher than the recommended annual rate. Hence it is necessary to choose the right lender who is reputed.
Points to Remember
When you are taking a loan, you are most likely under stress. Hence it is all the more important to read the terms of the loan carefully. It is mandatory for the lenders to display the loan interest rate clearly. The rate is often given per annum. This rate will be determined depending on your credentials, credit history, amount of loan and tenure of loan required. If you have a poor repayment history or you are without a stable occupation, you are deemed as a high risk borrower and hence the interest rate charged will be high. In such cases, it will be advantageous, if you can come up with collateral or a guarantor as this will help in getting the loan approval as well as achieving a lesser interest rate.
Before choosing a lender, you should get to know the current rate prevailing in the market. You can visit the legal low interest moneylender in Singapore to know about the different top lenders in the market. The list of lenders is regularly updated and the new lending policies are also discussed in the site. You can read more about licensed moneylender in website. When you are borrowing, you have to remember to borrow exactly the amount of money that is required for a purpose. There are many lenders who offer loans for any denomination. You can borrow as low as 10 Euros from many lenders. When you visit Pikavippikaista.fi, you can see the minimum and maximum loan amount each lender offers its customers. You can also get to know the repayment times offered by the different top lenders in the Finnish market by checking out the site. It is often difficult to know the exact information about each lender. That is why sites like Pikavippikaista.fi can be quite helpful to someone who is in need of quick loans. You can apply for loans from any of the featured lenders online in a short time.

Kitabu n-Nikah Bd. 2
From the back cover: "This is one of a 4-book series covering various aspects of marriage according to the authentic Sunnah. Marriage plays a most central role in the human life, and has been largely discussed by the scholars of Islaam through the ages, resulting in numerous writings and treatises. Some of those writings, mostly by contemporary scholars, have been translated into English. However, we find them restricted in scope, addressing Muslims wh live in predominantly Islaamic countries, or overlooking important real issues that have developed under modern civilization. This leaves quite a large gap that needs to be filled for the benefit of the Muslims in English-speaking countries, and this is what we attempt to fulfill over the span of three books."
This unique title covers a number of different aspects in marriage, including human sexuality, Islamic etiquettes of intimacy, prohibited acts of intimacy, ghusl, the 'awrah, zina', birth control, indecent acts, and more.
The Fragile Vessels - Rights and Obligations Between the Spouses in Islam - Muhammad al-Jibaly
This book covers the obligations of the two spouses - the wife's rights, and the husband's rights. The book contains the biographies of the Mothers of Believers and paints a very realistic picture from the life of the prophet (saws) with his wives, and presents a complete discussion ofthe hadeeth of Umm Zar. Presents Ahadeeth and Quranic revelations relevant to the topic. A must for every Muslim couple as a reminder of rights for each spouse to the other
The Quest for Love and Mercy - Regulations for Marriage & Wedding in Islam - Muhammad al-Jibaly
This is one of a 4-book series covering various aspects of marriage faithfully adhering to the Qur'an and Sunnah. In this volume, the importance and advantage of selecting a spouse, courting process, marriages contract, wedding celebration, halal and haram are discussed. A practical procedure for performing the marriage contract as well as a sample contract are included. Topics are set up in a user friendly style citing all the relevant verses from Qur'an and haddith for easy reference.
Our Precious Sprouts, Islamic Regulations For New Borns by Muhammad Al Jibaly
This sequel deals with the normal fruit of marriage: babies. It covers the Islamic regulations relating to a newborn. This includes welcoming the baby, naming it, shaving its hair, circumcising it, and slaughtering the sacrificial 'agiqah.

best books
Here's the thing
You're cruising along, right? Devouring that summer read all your friends said you had to finish.
But. when you get near the end, you think: All right. This is predictable.
Then Wham! The author brings an ending that is just far enough out of the blue that you didn't see it coming. But it's not outrageous, either.
It's just right, tying up the plotline in a neat and satisfactory fashion.
Here are six books that, we humbly submit, live up to that statement.
By the way, no one is paying us to put this list forward. It's just another quirky service of BrainPotpourri.
No. 1
Rik's by dhtreichler
A huge surprise ending. Totally unexpected.
The entire affair began with sheep brains and falafel — Saddam Hussein's favorite dish.
CIA operative Rik Bogart is trying to impress famed TV correspondent Ingrid Johansson at lunch one day in downtown Baghdad when the dubious delicacy threatens to rocket right back up into Rik's bowl. Thankfully, he steadies himself with a firm look into Ingrid's lustrous, approving, emerald eyes and the two continue getting to know one another on the outdoor restaurant patio in pre-war-torn Baghdad.
It's a strange way to start a romance — and an even stranger way to begin a clandestine relationship, feeding each other choice bits of information from highly placed sources.
"The desert winds have shifted," she says enigmatically one evening. The remark proves to be prophetic and sets off a flurry of frantic activity at the U.S. Embassy where Rik is headquartered. Sensitive files are burned and hurried plans are made to leave Iraq, under threat by Saddam's secret police.
But what's the cause of all this dire activity?
It is the eve of Saddam Hussein's invasion of neighboring Kuwait, and this thrilling book gives a true-to-life account of covert activity surrounding the event, weaving in some very realistic diplomatic dialog from 1989.
You'll swear you are standing beside Rik through every agonizing moment of uncertainty, fear and outright intimidation by Saddam's goons as he makes plans to go to Riyadh to escape almost certain death. But in the end, he stays in Baghdad to save the woman he loves.
Problem is, she has gone to the Kuwaiti front with a news crew, leaving a bewildered Rik at the mercy of the sadistic Tariq Yuhana, head of the Iraqi State Police.
The price Rik pays for his devotion to his departed love is 19 months inside Abu Ghraib — the prison of the dead.
The author's description of Rik's time in his dreadful, cramped cell is excruciating, watching his body shrivel and his mind slowly wither with it. Indeed, this is a grim highlight of the book as the author vividly illustrates what happens to political prisoners in places like Iraq. It's beyond brutal.
He has all but lost hope when word comes of the cease-fire. He is released in cast-off clothes with nothing but a plane ticket to New York in one hand and a bottle of expensive wine — a whimsical parting gift from Yuhana — in the other. He still hopes to find Ingrid and share a toast to his release.
The remainder of this fine psychological thriller details Rik's return to civilization and his new life as a nightclub owner in the Big Apple ten years later. Inevitably, Ingrid walks through the doors of Rik's place in 2001. The reunion does not go well, and they part company once again — only for Ingrid to court a disastrous end when the World Trade Center collapses.
What ensues will prevent you from putting this book down — even to sleep — as Rik sets off on a new quest, as a favor to an old friend. The surprise ending is delicious.
This is a tense, methodical look at what went wrong for U.S. policy in Iraq, and the devastating effect it had on the men and women who were there just prior to the first Gulf War.
But it's also a study in dogged determination: one man persevering in the face of deprivation and long odds to finally build a new life for himself after his country turns its back on him.
It also speaks eloquently about such vital issues as patriotism, comradeship, and the lengths to which love will go.
Five stars for Rik's. This gritty read will ring true with any follower of America's foreign interventions — and then deliver a stunning affirmation of life in the end.
No. 2
Winchester's Bargain by Murray Lee Eiland, Jr.
Ties the story up with a literary bow.
What is it they say about a Chinese meal? They're great, but an hour later you're hungry again?
Chinese is definitely on the menu in this richly layered romp through the shadowy subculture of international stock manipulation. And there's plenty for previous Bart Northcote, P.I., fans to devour as Bart and his eclectic Greek chorus of investigative team members try to penetrate the veil surrounding the Golden Dragon banking cartel.
Bart is once again lounging in his posh Los Angeles manse's hot tub with staffers Honey Moons, Salome Jones, Wanda Malone, and new addition Black Jade each night as they methodically unravel the knotted ball of clues that will lead them to the incredibly wealthy and powerful planners behind an outrageous plot to send the financial world into a titanic tailspin.
It's a worthy test of the team's investigative prowess as layer after layer of deceit is peeled back to reveal — what?
That's the beauty of this stellar addition to the Bart Northcote canon of hardboiled detective novels. They are fourteen cuts above the usual tough-talking, wiseacre noir narratives on the market today. This gem has a sheen of sophistication far exceeding the usual fare.
Shoot, you practically need a degree in macroeconomics to fathom the seriousness of the threat exposed with disarming ease by Bart and his bevy of co-investigators. Well, not really. But the ingenuity of the plot premise outdoes any ordinary P.I. adventure.
As the story rachets up in intensity, Bart and his bunch enter a danger zone reserved for those with too much insight into how the mysterious Mr. Winchester Lee and his sinister associates move the Dow up and down with impunity.
There are also tantalizing side plots that delve briefly into Bart's past, and a couple of red herrings thrown in just to flavor the fictional stew, but in the end, as with all the Northcote narratives, this story is tied up with a literary bow that will leave the reader satisfied.
The writing here has never been better and the author goes to great lengths to avoid even the least salacious sex scenes — which otherwise could abound in a book prominently peopled with large-breasted, long-legged babes who also possess the keenest of intellects. No sexual stereotyping here!
Five plus stars to Winchester's Bargain. Once again, Murray Lee Eiland, Jr., strikes a deep authorial chord that will resonate with all his fans, old and new.
No. 3
Seattle Red (The Boss MacTavin Action Mysteries Book 4) by Reb MacRath
Boss MacTavin engages in a memorable closing firefight – without any firearms. Truly inventive!
Boss takes his newly acquired (and very un-Bosslike) man bag with him to the mean streets of Seattle in this new mystery that is vintage Boss MacTavin.
His client: Ramona Hinton, who just wants to know who is responsible for the untimely demise of her security guard husband, found in the drug-infested alley behind the convenience store in which he worked.
But the case involves far more than what appears to be a random whack job. It turns out to be an epic fight against Organized Retail Crime (ORC), which is running rampant in area stores. Boss joins forces with some highly memorable characters, including local rent-a-cop legend Duncan Jackson (think "Denzel Washington in Crimson Tide") and beefy detective Al Swanson who "was in his mid-forties, six-three, 230 pounds. He appeared to like the sauce and had the pallid complexion and rasp of a serial smoker."
As with every Boss book, author extraordinaire Reb MacRath entertains endlessly, marrying matchless prose with memorable plotlines. This installment in the series is no exception. From time to time, he can't resist a well-turned, quotable phrase:
"Deep voice. Soft and low as a spirit can go."
"Angus McPherson — born of thunderrrrrr, drunk on blood!"
"Tough guy in a small man's way. Dead-eyed and bullet-headed."
But, back to the story. Boss, and his two colleagues, DB (Dirty Boy) and Luigi, take on the boosters and the alphas that comprise the majority of fleet-fingered felons by posing as either blind-eyed security guards or, in Boss's case, as a multi-pocketed pilferer — the better to sniff his way up the food chain to the head goombahs running the rackets.
The team is subsequently joined by a gorgeous Geisha to run a sting that will entice the ORC mind trust to reveal themselves, so the Seattle detective team, Al and his partner Bobby, can swoop in and make the pinch.
But it's not that simple. The good guys run up against some tough resistance and before the end the plotline dips and twists on a rollercoaster ride to the surprising finish.
A special highlight: at one point in the story, Boss is forced to make use of a unique boutique called Armless Arms, which specializes in "alternative weapons" from bladed crucifixes to tactical pens to stun guns disguised as cell phones. The resulting firefight — without any fire — is truly inventive.
This is a well-orchestrated story that shows off all the Boss bravado fans have come to love, backed up by an ensemble cast of characters who are totally believable and one hundred percent enjoyable.
Five-plus stars to Seattle Red. And bring on the next book in the series. We're all rrrready for yet another Boss Corrrrection.
No. 4
The Gambit by Brad Carlson
A Bruce-Willis-movie-calibre ending with righteous justice served up in true Special Forces fashion.
It's nearing doomsday in this fast-paced novel of international intrigue by first-time author Brad Carlson.
Israel and Iran are set to square off on the rapidly developing Iranian nuclear capability, and CIA operative Stonewall Jackson has been assigned to an elite Israeli team tasked with smuggling out the West's chief source of intelligence on the threat. This they do in a quick, professionally executed extraction, and then, with their highly placed informant out of harm's way, the Israelis strike hard and fast to neutralize Iran's nuclear aspirations.
It's a rowdy but highly competent unit that Jackson joins. Ben and Yoni are the lead and exec, respectively; Ayal is explosives; Jonah and Dov supply muscle and brains along with Levi, who also handles comm capabilities. And then there are Zivah and Dani — the only women on the team. But don't underestimate them; the last guy who had the temerity to tangle with Dani is now well and truly dead.
After the IDF forces execute their surgical strikes, the Iranians lash out at the U.S. Navy stationed offshore, sending 48 deadly missiles streaking toward the USS George Washington and her battle group. It's a near thing, but the projectiles are swatted summarily from the skies and the Iranians are red-faced and fuming, though now largely impotent after being worked over by the combined military might of the U.S. Fifth Fleet and a swarm of fiery air support.
This is Tom Clancy-style adventure at its heart-pounding best, packed with plenty of knowledgeable references to current ordnance, weaponry and ubiquitous acronyms: CIWS (Close In Weapons Systems), AAWC (Anti-Air War Coordinator), and SAM (Surface to Air Missile), to name but a few.
Meanwhile, a covert Iranian operation known only as "Cyrus" is quietly getting underway on a series of remote cattle ranches in Nevada, Oregon and Texas. What are these decidedly illegal aliens up to? A battalion-sized force has been smuggled over time onto U.S. soil with a single objective in mind: inflict maximum damage to the Great Satan's infrastructure.
What can Jackson and his team do to thwart this unprecedented invasion? While Beltway bureaucrats whine about not violating any civil rights in the hunt for these 500 battle-hardened Iranian soldiers, incalculable damage is done in their first carefully planned act of destruction.
The author brings to bear what clearly is a wealth of knowledge about just how America might respond to such a threat. His narrative is rich with been-there-done-that military allusions and incredibly detailed lingo about combat operations.
It's a story that's as relevant as today's headlines and vividly points up just how vulnerable the U.S. is to another 9/11-style attack — although this is not a terrorist action. It's what might conceivably happen if a determined foreign foe decides to wreak havoc on our sovereign shores.
And buckle up for the cinematic last few chapters. You won't believe the Bruce-Willis-movie-calibre ending with righteous justice served up in true Special Forces fashion.
Five stars to The Gambit. Anyone who's ever spent time in the armed services will feel right at home with the dialogue and kick-butt consequences that would await anyone foolish enough to threaten the U.S. mainland in such a manner.
No. 5
The Slave Boy by Murray Lee Eiland Jr.
You won't believe who the Slave Boy turns out to be in the end.
More swashbuckling adventure awaits readers of this excellent sixth installment of the Orfeo Saga. In this thrilling tale, Daryush's young friend Cyrus seeks excitement in the worst way — and that's exactly what he finds.
Cyrus drags former comrade-in-arms Balik along with him as he travels to the lands governed by King Elazar. Then, through an unhappy encounter with the King's ill-tempered wife, who is trying to escape, the two adventure-seekers wind up in chains.
But nothing holds the two intrepid travelers down for long. In a memorable fight of one against eight, Cyrus dispatches the heavily armed guards and frees not only his friend Balik, but all eighteen other slaves as well. They quickly melt into the surrounding hills.
Meanwhile, a particularly odious character named Asok, a minor prince in those parts, has his heart set on marrying a beautiful but willful young woman named Sharmilla. Determined to escape her fate, however, she dons a disguise and escapes, much to the wrath of her would-be suitor.
Cyrus and his cadre of ragtag warriors join up with a local army, where he rises quickly to command a troop of one hundred men. For his valiant actions, he is accorded the dubious honor of escorting the general's sister through brigand-infested hills to her home in Talo Duro — many dangerous days' away.
One night Cyrus is scouting near the camp for lurking attackers when he feels an arrow whiz by his ear. It's a nearly fatal miss — thwarted at the last second by a dedicated slave boy standing behind Cyrus. The boy, in tears at the near-loss of his new master, is awarded a privileged place in Cyrus' retinue.
There's more than meets the eye here as Cyrus rushes back to camp to ready for an imminent attack. It's high treachery that threatens to overwhelm the 20-man escort, and Cyrus lays his strategy carefully.
This marvelous book moves quickly from one precarious — yet unpredictable — situation to another. Cyrus and Balik get more than they bargained for as the adventures abound, and they finally see the lovely Arya — the general's wife — safely to her home.
Later, through a plot twist so unexpected it will amaze you, Cyrus ascends to a position of high leadership in a city under siege. His exploits in defending the beleaguered citizenry and — more importantly — their beautiful queen, are the stuff of legends.
The Orfeo saga is a truly epic collection of tales brought vividly to life by gifted storyteller Murray Lee Eiland, Jr. and this singular narrative — while not really connected with Orfeo himself — nevertheless acquits itself admirably and takes a proud position of prominence in the popular canon.
Five-plus stars to The Slave Boy and its ingenious author.
No. 6
Reverence by Joshua Landeros
The final action sequence is epic.
It's April 4, 2065. Much of what formerly was the United States is in smoking ruins, the victim not of intercontinental war, but of extreme, bloody civil unrest.
In the Oval Office, now just a museum piece, Chancellor Carl Venloran is remembering a speech he delivered before thousands of frenzied supporters twenty years before at the Lincoln Memorial. He spoke of restoring America's dignity and the perils of corporate outsourcing and the terrible price paid by wounded war veterans.
If all this sounds disturbingly familiar, it's through the brilliant efforts of first-time author Joshua Aaron Landeros, who has penned a grisly but compelling portrait of a nation — and a world — transformed by a lust for absolute power and control.
Venloran's United Nation Republic, now the ruling entity that has absorbed many formerly free nations, keeps an uneasy peace in place with brute force, delivered by superhuman cyborg enforcers who carry swashbuckling 1860s-style sabres. They think nothing of dismembering anyone who is an active — and threatening — member of the self-styled rebellion movement.
This dynamite foray into post-apocalyptic fiction is spun with a deft authorial hand that reads at times like a movie script or a vivid, ultra-violent video game. And through much of the mayhem, two amiable but very dangerous androids — Will and Luis — wisecrack their way through insurrections and assassination attempts.
Indeed, most of the novel is liberally laced with combat terms and military lingo that should readily appeal to anyone who loves to read — or watch — a Ramboesque series of terribly realistic action sequences. Seriously, they're very, very good.
But at the heart of the story lies the futuristic conflict of man versus man — or, perhaps, cyborg versus man — in scenarios where you'll wonder who the bad guys are. Will and Luis, for all their superior strength and android implants, still come across as sympathetic, vulnerable — yet very deadly — characters. And no less sympathetic are the members of the resistance — Gabby, Neal, Jacob, and others.
The skillful development of these players in the overarching plotline gives this novel incredible depth and breadth that carries it far above others in its genre. And the central story that drives the book provides a worthy backdrop for unlimited action and suspense.
The final action sequence is epic. Here's a little passage to whet your appetite:
"Our battle is at last at hand. You will be the greatest opponent I have ever faced. After you, life once again becomes dull."
Five stars to Reverence. Readers will come away exhausted by the nonstop explosive action and satisfied by the climactic conclusion.

A variable gain amplifier, or VGA, is a signal-conditioning amplifier with an electronically settable voltage gain. There are analog variable gain amplifiers and digital variable gain amplifiers. An analog voltage controls the gain and either a functional source, a digital to analog converter or a dc source can provide the control. In analog variable gain amplifiers, gain in dB is a linear function of the input voltage.
There are many different kinds of variable gain amplifiers and at Future Electronics we stock many of the most common types categorized by gain, nominal gain bandwidth, maximum supply voltage, nominal slew rate, packaging type and number of channels. The parametric filters on our website can help refine your search results depending on the required specifications.
Nominal gain bandwidth can be 90 MHz, 130 MHz or 850 to 2500 MHz. The maximum supply voltage can be between 3 V and 9.5 V, and the nominal slew rate can be either 0.275 V/µs or 275 V/µs.
Future Electronics has a full selection of variable gain amplifier chips from manufacturers that can be used to design a variable gain op amp circuit or for any other equipment that might require a variable gain amp. Simply choose from the variable gain amplifier technical attributes below and your search results will quickly be narrowed to match your specific variable gain amplifier application needs.
We deal with New Japan Radio and NXP as manufacturers. You can easily refine your variable gain amplifier product search results by clicking your preferred variable gain amplifier brand below from our list of manufacturers.
Variable gain amplifiers are useful in order to tame signals exhibiting a wide dynamic range. A good example would be mobile phone receivers. Depending on the distance between the cell phone and the base station, the input signal levels vary greatly. Other typical applications with a wide dynamic range are found in the industrial, medical and scientific sectors in measurement equipment. Generally, a variable gain amplifier might be used in two circumstances. The first is in situations where one needs to match an input signal level to the full scale input of a device (for example an FM discriminator or an ADC). The second is in situations where one might need to scale a fixed input voltage in order to compensate for variable losses (for example in order to adjust the voltage level to a given transmission line).
When you are looking for the right variable gain amplifiers, with the FutureElectronics.com parametric search, you can filter the results by various attributes: by Nominal Gain Bandwidth (90 MHz, 130 MHz, 850 to 2500 MHz), Nominal Slew Rate (0.275 V/µs, 275 V/µs) and Maximum Supply Voltage (3 V, 5.25 V, 9.5 V) to name a few. You will be able to find the right semiconductor chip from our manufacturers that can be used to design a variable gain op amp circuit or for any other devices that might require a variable gain amp.
If the quantity of variable gain amplifiers required is less than a full reel, we offer customers many of our programmable variable gain amplifier products in tube, tray or individual quantities that will avoid unneeded surplus.
In addition, Future Electronics offers clients a unique bonded inventory program that is designed to eliminate potential problems that may arise from an unpredictable supply of products containing raw metals and products with erratic or long lead times. Talk with your nearest Future Electronics branch and find out more on how you and your company can avoid possible shortages.

Aisone (5 foto)
Aisone basks in the sun on the slopes below pine and larch covered ridges. The climate is so favourable that in some plots even grapes can ripen. The old centre of the village retains a pretty Romanesque bell tower and a renaissance font. At nearby Morra you can see the remains of an acqueduct with stone arches dating back to mediaeval times. Above the village, there are numerous natural caves, used as prehistoric shelters (4800-3500 B.C). The caves are visible from the road and can be reached with a short walk in the Rio Borbone valley: after the turn off for Piron take a dirt road off to the right that leads you into an enchanting depression surrounded by rock walls and towers. Part of the Aisone area is in the Alpi Marittime Nature Park, and there is a multi-functional structure in the village, the Taverna delle Grotte, which is both a visitor centre and a shop/cafe. Today Aisone is best known for cross-country skiing and Occitan music: the cross-country ski centre and bar caters for both tastes...

San Diego State University Joins College Bans On Smoking
Thursday, January 2, 2014
Photo by Carolyn Kaster
San Diego State University is now a smoke-free campus. The new non-smoking policy was years in the making.
Previously, San Diego State University had allowed smoking in 12 areas on campus, including a number of parking lots.
But a few years ago, some students and faculty members began pushing for a total ban.
Thomas Novotny, a former assistant U.S. surgeon general and current professor in SDSU's graduate school of public health, said it took a while for administrators to agree.
"A smoke-free campus was undoubtedly going to happen at some point, but it really required buy-in and consultation with all of the constituencies, so that this wouldn't just be a mandate, but rather a collaborative activity involving everybody's opinion," Novotny said.
California State University Fullerton became the first CSU campus to ban smoking last August. All University of California schools are now smoke-free, and so are community colleges in San Diego County.
SDSU's policy includes a ban of electronic cigarettes. Novotny thinks that's a smart move.
"There is now increasing evidence that the nicotine vapors that are produced do affect people who are exposed to them in a secondhand way, just like secondhand smoke is," he said. "They don't have the health complications that cigarettes have, but they certainly have the addictive potential."
SDSU officials said police will not issue tickets to violators of the smoking ban. Officials believe education and peer pressure will carry the day.
According to the American Nonsmokers Rights Foundation, more than 1,100 colleges and universities in the U.S. are smoke-free.

Read about all of my Fishing Adventures!
Check out my Fish of 2014
Follow my Fish of 2015
While it isn't quite time to start breaking down some individual position rankings, I think it is the right time to discuss some trends from last season and how it should affect your preparation going forward. First things first: last year wasn't a banner year in terms of fantasy football for me. Now, I did make the playoffs of every league I played in, but I only cashed a check in one of those leagues. To be fair, of course, I was in only three money leagues and was second in the biggest of those leagues.
Anyway, that's enough about me.
Two weeks ago, we began our preparation talking about teammate double ups. You can check out some of the very best double ups and some great sleepers for this year by reading the post below.
Today I want to discuss a few things and I really hope to get your feedback.
Because I don't believe in downloading people's rankings (or buying them), I began to build spreadsheets (just like last year) based upon the statistics of returning players. From there, I will begin to rank. Until then, let's take a look at some trends.
First, let's define our scoring system used last year:
The positions were QB, RB1, RB2, WR1, WR2, WR3, TE, FLEX, K, DST.
1 point for every 20 passing yards, 4 points for a passing touchdown, -3 for any turnover.
1 point for every 10 passing yards, 6 points for a rushing or receiving touchdown. Return yards and touchdowns were scored as rushing yards.
3 points for a field-goal, 1 point for an extra point.
For the DST, you began with 30 points and lost 5 points per touchdown but gained 3 points for a turnover and 6 for a defensive touchdown.
Ok, so it was fairly standard. Here is what you really came to see. In our 20 team league, the average winning score was 152. Simple enough. Now, obviously, there are some blowouts. There are some freak low and high scoring weeks. Obviously, there are also some really good and bad teams that skew numbers. Right?
Not so. In fact, if you took the top 8 teams (only those who made the playoffs), you find that the average winning total was still 152.
How does this affect your draft preparation? Well, let's take a look.
I crunched the numbers for all returning players from last season (I needed to do that anyway and I felt that using only this year's players would help more than it hurt).
The PPG average for the top 50 QBs is 20
The PPG average for the top 100 RBs (PPR) is 13
The PPG average for the top 300 WRs (PPR) is 12
The PPG average for the top 30 TEs (PPR) is 11
The PPG average for the top 20 Ks is 9
The PPG average for the top 20 DSTs is 25
Ok. so I know that last one has thrown you a bit. Again, consider that I am only using data for returning players, meaning that about a third of last year's elite players are gone at each position. But, I will make an argument (in another post) at why it doesn't matter.
If you add all of that up, you come up with an average of 140 PPG. That's not woefully behind the 152 point average, but it's basically playing a position down each and every week. While a great player (a Lamar Jackson) can make up a lot of ground, not everyone is so fortunate. This comes down to point differential per position, something we discussed in depth last year. Click the link below and read about it.
Assessing Value to Position for Your 2016 Fantasy College Football Draft
So, you need to find 12 points more than your opponet each week. Most people's first thought is that a great QB is the easiest way to get over the hump. The issue is, there are typically five QBs who beat the standard deviation per year. In terms of returning QBs, there are are just two: Lamar Jackson and Quinton Flowers. Both of these beat the 5.8 Standard Deviation between the other top QBs.
In other words, they are the only two who don't have a value-based ranking (where you can decide to draft or not draft based upon value of other positions). Is your luck that good? Well, unfortunately, if you are in an odd spot in the draft, you are just out of luck.
The Standard Deviation at RB is a paltry 3.5. So, while there there isn't a great amount of point differential from one to the next, there is a plethora of running backs over the average. This means that there is inherent value in taking three above average RBs over a QB, especially the elites, provided you can get one. However, there around 3-5 of these guys. But, used together, 3 (assuming the use of FLEX) such RBs can make up 10.5 points.
The same can be said with receivers. While the position scores a modest 12 PPG (based on the top 300, of course), the top 30 score over 20 points per game. With a Standard Deviation of 4.6 points, there is a drastic step from one to the next, especially at the top. There are around ten WRs out there that will beat the Standard Deviation, making them a priority. Taking 3 of these players equates to almost 14 points per week.
Tight end has a deviation of just 2.8, meaning that there is virtually no way to make up a major point differential. There are only two TEs per year that typically beat the model, though it is worth mentioning that they, alone, can make up the point differential. There is obviously a ton of risk with using the TE to make up points.
In summation, there are a couple of ways to ensure that you can draft a team capable of hitting 150+ points each week, even if you don't get a premier QB. Even with an average QB, understanding the standard deviation and average scores of each position can help you find that winning formula.

What actually does not suffice the body, if you want a sweet, fatty, sour, etc.
Taste in physiology is one of the types of chemoreceptions; sensation arising from the action of various substances predominantly on taste receptors (located on the taste buds of the tongue, as well as the posterior pharyngeal wall, soft palate, amygdala, epiglottis). Information from the taste receptors is transmitted through the afferent fibers of the facial, lingopharyngeal and vagal cranial nerves to the nucleus of the single medullar tract, then switching occurs in the nuclei of the thalamus and further into the cortex and islet of the cerebral hemispheres, where taste sensations are formed. According to other sources, the cortical end of the gustatory system is located in the parahypocampal gyrus (Latin gyrus parahippocampalis) (the old hooked gyrus, Latin gyrus uncinatus) and in the hippocampus (lat. Hippocampus). In addition to sweet, bitter, sour, salty taste, modern people in different countries also distinguish minds, tart, burning, mint, alkaline, metallic, etc. tastes.
Your body is like a super powerful computer. Watch his testimony very carefully and he will never come. For example, you previously did not have a predilection for a particular dish, and here BAC - you eat bacon . This is not accidental. This internal computer sends you a message: the body lacks certain trace elements. It's time to take action. Everyone saw how seals eat grass, although they are not herbivorous, so your body will tell you what it lacks. The main thing is to pay attention to it in time and correctly explain it.
If you did not like the sweet one, but suddenly pulled on the chocolate, make yourself a diagnosis: a deficiency of magnesium . The same happens if you want something sour. In general, listen more often to your body. You are drawn to something fatter, drink softly fizzy drinks - bad with calcium. You will achieve a balance - at once you will laugh. Ate bread unrestrainedly, and then "fastened" - before there was not enough nitrogen, and now - all type-top.
Previously, with longing looked at the food and felt for her complete indifference (deficiency of manganese and vitamins B1, B3), and now they are ready to swallow an elephant (bad with silicon and tyrosine) - everything has its own explanation.
And yet it is better not to wait for signals from the body, but to try to balance your own nutrition, taking into account what and what product is contained. And here's what you should remember:
- Magnesium is chocolate, nuts and fruits.
- Phosphorus is fish, beef, liver and nuts.
- Calcium is cheese, cabbage and mustard.
- Sulfur is egg yolks, cranberries, garlic, horseradish.
- Iron - it's meat, fish, cherry, greens, seaweed, very opportunely will have a mug of cocoa a day.
- Zinc is meat and seafood.
- Vitamin B1 is nuts, beans and liver.
- Vitamin B3 is beans, meat and fish halibut.
Another way to recognize what the body lacks is the symptom:
- The heart is not full -potassium - eat fruits and vegetables.
- Scaly skin - problems with iodine - eat seafood, onions and carrots.
- The teeth turn yellow - it's not only the addiction to smoking that is to blame, but also the deficit of some trace elements - eat beans, fish and bananas.
What is missing in the body, if you want ...
- Peanuts (peanut butter) - a lack of B vitamins (found in nuts, beans, meat and fish).
- Bananas - lack of potassium or drink a lot of coffee, hence the lack of potassium (contained in tomatoes, white beans and figs).
- Melons - lack of potassium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, as well as vitamins A and C.
- Dried apricots - lack of vitamin A.
- Olives and olives are a lack of sodium salts.
- Milk and fermented milk products - lack of calcium or essential amino acids - tryptophan, lysine and leucine.
- Ice cream - a lack of calcium (a special love for it is experienced by people with impaired metabolism of carbohydrates).
- Seafood - iodine deficiency (use iodized salt).
- Herring - lack of the correct fats.
- Sunflower seeds - lack of vitamins-antioxidants (especially often occurs in smokers).
- Butter - lack of vitamin D.
- Cheese is a lack of calcium and phosphorus (found in cottage cheese, milk and broccoli).
- Bread - not enough nitrogen (contained in meat, fish and nuts).
- Chocolate is a lack of magnesium (found in unsweetened nuts and seeds, fruits, legumes and legumes).
I just want something ...
- Sweet - a lack of glucose (found in fruits, berries, honey and sweet vegetables).
- Solenky - lack of chlorides (found in unboiled goat milk, fish, unrefined sea salt).
- Kislenky - lack of vitamin C (found in dog-rose, lemons, kiwi, cranberries, Brussels sprouts, currants and strawberries).
- Smoked meats - lack of cholesterol (contained in red fish, olives, avocado, nuts).
- Fatty foods are a lack of calcium (found in broccoli, legumes and legumes, cheese, sesame).
- Burned food - a lack of carbon (found in fresh fruit).
- Cold drinks - a shortage of manganese (found in walnuts, almonds, pecans, blueberries).
- Carbonated drinks - lack of calcium (found in broccoli, legumes and legumes, cheese, sesame).
- In the evening, drinking tea with dried pechenyushkami - in the afternoon did not get the right carbohydrates (contained in meat, fish, beans and nuts).
- Liquid food - lack of water (drink 8-10 glasses of water a day, with the addition of lemon juice or lime).
- Solid food is a lack of water (the body is so dehydrated that it has lost the ability to feel thirsty.) 8-10 glasses of water a day).
But if it happened ...
- Zhor on the eve of critical days - a shortage of zinc (found in red meat (especially meat of internal organs), seafood, leafy vegetables, root crops).
- The general unbeatable zhor is the lack of silicon, tryptophan and tyrosine amino acids (found in nuts, seeds, cheese, liver, lamb, suede, spinach, green and red vegetables and fruits).
- Appetite was lost completely - lack of manganese and vitamins B1 and B2 (contained in walnuts, almonds, nuts, seeds, legumes and pods, meat, fish and poultry).
- I want to smoke - a lack of silicon and amino acids tyrosine (found in nuts, seeds, orange, green and red fruits and vegetables).
- I want to gnaw ice - a lack of iron (found in meat, fish, poultry, sea cabbage, greens, cherries).
- I want paint, plaster, earth, chalk - lack of calcium and vitamin D (found in eggs, butter and fish).
And if you have a passion for eating ...
Passion chocolate-sweet
More often than not, "chocolate mania" suffers caffeine fans and those whose brains are particularly in need of glucose. This applies to other sweets. If you eat unbalanced, your body will also feel the need for glucose - as the fastest source of energy. Namely, chocolate is coping with this task perfectly. But keep in mind that this product contains a lot of fat, the excess of which is dangerous for your blood vessels and figure. Eat plenty of vegetables and cereals - they are rich in complex carbohydrates. And as a dessert, choose dried fruits or honey with a small amount of nuts.
Passion for cheese
Spicy, salty, with spices and without ... You can not live without it for a day, its taste drives you crazy - you are ready to absorb it by kilograms (in any case, you eat at least 100 g per day). Nutritionists claim that the cheese is loved by those who are in urgent need of calcium and phosphorus. Of course, cheese is the richest source of these substances that are so necessary and extremely useful to the body, but fats ... Try to replace the broccoli with cabbage cheese - it has a lot of calcium and phosphorus, and there are almost no calories. If your body takes milk well, drink 1-2 glasses a day, and eat a little cheese (not more than 50 g per day) and along with raw vegetables.
Passion sour-lemon
Perhaps, in your diet, digestible products predominate, and the body tries to increase the acidity of the gastric juice to facilitate its work. With a cold, you too can draw on sour fruits and berries - an excellent source of vitamin C. Choose dishes with a moderate fat content and do not mix a lot of foods in one sitting. Avoid fried, over-salted and overly spicy food, as well as one that has gone through excessive heat treatment. Noticing the problem with digestion (especially from the liver and gallbladder), be sure to be examined by a gastroenterologist.
Passion for smoked
The passion for smoked foods and similar delicacies usually prevails over those who sit on a too strict diet. Long-term restriction in the diet of fat-containing products leads to a decrease in the level of "good" cholesterol in the blood, and in smoked foods, a sufficient number of saturated fats. Do not get carried away with fat-free food - choose the one in which there is still some fat. For example, buy yogurt, kefir or ryazhenka one- or two-percent fat content. Eat at least a tablespoon of vegetable and a teaspoon of butter a day, even if you are on a strict diet. Scientists have experimentally proven that those who use enough fat are losing weight faster.
Food Passions and Diseases
Onions, garlic, spices and condiments. The acute need for these products and spices, as a rule, indicates problems with the respiratory system.
Olives and olives. This predilection is possible in the disorder of the thyroid gland.
Ice cream. A special love for him is experienced by people with metabolic disorders, suffering from hypoglycaemia or patients with diabetes mellitus.
Bananas. If you lose your head from the smell of ripe bananas, pay attention to the state of your heart.
Sunflower seeds. The desire to gnaw seeds often occurs in those who are in dire need of vitamins-antioxidants. This means that your body has many free radicals - the main provocateurs of pre-temporary aging.

Testing wastewater can become an effective, real time and low-cost local, national and global surveillance system enabling authorities to effectively identify and prevent epidemics. New 'water fingerprinting' technology developed by researchers at the University of Bath to test a city's water could soon be mitigating infectious disease, limiting the spread of antibiotic resistant "superbugs" such as E. coli, and enabling authorities to monitor the overall health of the public.
In this internationally collaborative project, interdisciplinary experts from the University of Bath and Stellenbosch University (South Africa) are teaming up to develop a real-time community-wide public health early warning system (EWS) by measuring biomarkers – molecules made by the body that characterise disease and illness – in the sewage system.
Urban water contains a mixture of human waste, wastewater and run off samples, pooled from contributing populations. To epidemiologists, this cocktail contains a treasure trove of information on the underlying health status of the population and surrounding environment.
The project will combine state-of-the-art methodology in chemistry, genetics and electronics to unlock this information and `provide real-time health "profiles" of urban water samples. Testing wastewater will enable government health professionals to identify early on any risks to public health and therefore attempt to mitigate potential widespread crises such as pandemics and infectious diseases.
Africa and Asia are experiencing unprecedented population growth and urbanisation. Over half of the world's population now live in urban areas and as the world population continues to grow alongside increasing urbanisation, it is projected that by 2050 2.5 billion people will be added to the urban population.
This exceptional speed of urbanisation and global population growth poses substantial risks to the resilience of cities in preventing widespread poor public health. Working with local organisations East Rand Water Care Company (ERWAT), Stellenbosch River Collaborative (SRC) and Enkanini Research Centre (ERC), the project will use Stellenbosch as a case study to trail this technology to understand the feasibility of implementing a EWS in South Africa and in other LMIC (Low and Middle income) countries across the world.
Professor in Environment & Analytical Chemistry and member of the Water Innovation & Research Centre at the University of Bath (WIRC @ Bath), Barbara Kasprzyk-Hordern is leading this project. She said: "This project focussing on Urban Water Profiling can become a truly effective, real time and low-cost local, national and ultimately global surveillance system enabling authorities to effectively identify and prevent threats to an urban population's health."
Professor in Microbiology and Director of Stellenbosch University Water Institute, Gideon Wolfaardt, commented: "South Africa, where 65% of the population live in urban settings and is predicted to grow to 80% by 2050, provides a good representation of the alarming rate of urbanization that often exceeds the rate at which additional medical care can be introduced.
"Community-wide surveillance can thus become a powerful first line of defence in health care, and the experience gained here can be transferred to other countries."
The ReNEW project (Developing Resilient Nations – Towards a Public Health Early Warning System via Urban Water Profiling) has received £1.1 million of funding from Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) through the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and will last three years.

The Community College in the 1980's: Promises and Perils.
Watson, Norman
A number of possible scenarios are discernible for the future of post-secondary education. Some believe that the next five years will be worse than the last, pointing to declining birthrates, spiraling inflation, and plummeting enrollments. Others look optimistically to the increased need for education, which is evidenced by the involvement of industry in educational efforts and the rate at which knowledge is growing and becoming obsolete. Still others try to assess the effects of environmental factors, such as increased state control and federal regulation, changing technologies, and growth in adult and non-formal education. In order to survive the stresses and strains of the 1980's, community colleges must undergo a transformation, which will be facilitated by their responsiveness to community needs and their flexibility. They must: (1) provide additional access for the older adult; (2) exploit new educational technologies; (3) work with and through other community agencies; (4) increase cooperation with business and labor; (5) provide basic skills and literacy training; (6) become involved in international education; (7) change policies and procedures to meet the needs of part-time, older students; and (8) reaffirm their commitment to the humanities. In short, the 1980's will demand that community colleges employ creativity to a greater extent than ever before. (AYC)

Life of a Blogger is hosted by Jessi from Novel Heartbeat
I decided I really like combining a bunch of these posts into one, large post! So here I am, back to share more of my life outside of blogging!
Genres of Music
I'm going to be super lame here and say I appreciate almost all genres of music, but the following three will always hold a special place in my heart.
Indie Rock
I stumbled onto Indie Rock music in University (I'm so cliche). I had a 64GB iPod Classic and it was filled with everything from Death Cab, The Shins and Broken Social Scene to Spoon and Bloc Party. More recently I've been listening to a lot of Mother Mother (who I got to see live this summer; they were AMAZING!) and Arcade Fire. Arcade Fire was a band I always liked well-enough, but after getting to see them live a couple summers a go, I have a whole new appreciation for them. Their stage presence is just electric and you can't help but bob along!
I'm a country girl at heart, having grown up in a small farming town. Oddly enough, I didn't really grow to love country music until I was in University; I think it reminded me of home, which was comforting. Some of my favourite country artists are Kenny Chesney, Toby Keith, Luke Bryan, Taylor Swift, Jason Aldean, and Lady Antebellum, but I'll listen to pretty much anything that's current (I'm not a big fan of old-school country).
Classic Rock
I grew up on Classic Rock. Queen, Nazareth, Boston, Def Leppard, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin – all those power-ballad rockers who knew exactly when to break into a perfectly-timed guitar solo
If I Could Live Anywhere
I've always dreamed of living close to a big city, but far enough into the country that I could live on a lake. I want a house that's all windows in the front, facing a relatively secluded backyard that overlooks a sparkling, clear lake. I've always thought about how I would live some place hot and exotic, but I've realized that home is where my family is. So while I would love to live in my version of paradise – which is the Greek Isles, the more I research it! – I would be even happier to find my house on a lake, close to my family.
Plans for the Future
My (hopefully) nearish future would involve a house and kid(s). I'd be quite content to be a stay-at-home mom who dabbled in photography and web design. So, if I'm to make that a feasible goal, I need to get my ass to some photography/web design classes!
Introvert or Extrovert
I've always thought of myself as an extrovert – I can carry a conversation with pretty much anyone and I'm quite outgoing. But I have a lot of introvert tendencies – I live for quiet nights in, with a good book or just myself for company. I'd rather have a low-key evening in with a few good friends than do anything else that involves a large group of people.
Guilty Pleasures
I don't know that I feel guilty over anything I find pleasure in. It's kind of my motto for life – if it feels good, do it! I'm not ashamed to say I'm a Belieber or a die hard Leafs fan. I'm a sucker for MTV reality TV (Teen Mom and The Hills being my favourites!) and chocolate is my biggest weakness. I love Pokemon (Pokemon X has changed my life!) and there will always be room for Disney cartoons on my DVD shelf. I like my bass loud and deep enough to feel it in my bones, which means I have a natural appreciation for most hip hop/rap songs. If it wasn't so unhealthy, I would eat fast food for every meal – it doesn't seem to matter how old I get, nothing gets my mouth watering like the thought of some Micky D's! I sleep in on my days off – sometimes as late as noon!, and when I'm home, I'm in sweats. I love chicken nuggets and I put ketchup on EVERYTHING. My life's an open book – when it comes to feeling guilt over what I love to do, I say bah hum bug!
How about you? What's your philosophy on guilty pleasures? Plans for the future? What genres of music get you excited?

The Circuit Dijon-Prenois was one of the fist race circuits to opt for the new FIA debris fence. Geobrugg was commissioned to plan and construct a debris fence 408 m long and 2.5 m high.
Two sections of the debris fence were planned:
- Marshal-Point 7 with a length of 184 m
- Marshal-Point 8 with a length of 224 m
Before construction started, the plans were submitted to the FIA and FFSA for approval, which was granted immediately. Installation took place toward the end of the winter break, with only six weeks needed for construction.

Freed Canadians Greyson, Loubani arrive in Toronto
Tarek Loubani and John Greyson are home.
After being held in a Cairo prison for seven weeks, the duo walked out from behind the closed security doors at Pearson International Airport Friday to cheers, tears and the glare of the media spotlight.
But the men seemed in good spirits and prepared for the many questions that will come, reading from a three-page written statement.
"We are delighted to be free, and delighted to be home after 50 days in Tora prison and five more of not being able to fly out of Cairo," said Loubani, an emergency room doctor from London, Ont.
The pair thanked their families, university colleagues and thousands of supporters from across the country who demanded their release. They also thanked Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird for their efforts.
"Your hard work mattered, your voice mattered," Loubani said of the international outcry. "It made a difference. We owe you our freedom."
Greyson, a filmmaker and professor at York University, described how he and Loubani, along with 600 others, were arrested in a "brutal" round-up on Aug. 16 and imprisoned without charge. The men were beaten and housed in small quarters with other detainees in horrid conditions.
"We wondered as recently as last Friday if this nightmare would drag on for years," Greyson said.
The pair admitted to making a number of errors that contributed to their imprisonment. One was assuming that their efforts to help as a doctor and filmmaker would keep them safe.
"We thought our work on Aug. 16, mine as a doctor and John's as a filmmaker, tending to the wounded and documenting their plights would … make neither of us blameworthy in the eyes of Egyptian authorities. We were wrong."
But Greyson said they learned lessons about community in that cramped cell.
"That 38 men, blacksmiths, professors, construction workers, students, can co-exist day after day in a 3-metre-by-10-metre cell with grace and humour and kindness."
The duo closed by asking Canadians to keep those who are unlawfully detained around the world in their thoughts. And the incident will not deter them from speaking up in the future, Greyson said.
"We'll keep trying to make a difference — be it in London, Toronto, Gaza or elsewhere," he said.
Loubani shared a tearful embrace with a family member before he and Greyson were escorted from the airport by Peel Regional Police. They were heading to a welcome home party in downtown Toronto.
Loubani's second cousin, Sam Qita, came to the airport to welcome him home. He called his imprisonment "sad" and said Loubani has made it his mission to help people around the world.
"He's a good guy and he goes outside of the box to help everyone," Qita said. "Whether it's London at the hospital, or in parts of Europe, Africa, Gaza, Palestine. He goes all over the world to help people in need."

This is such a great book, filled with simple tips and tricks and heaps of inspiring ideas for people who would like to learn to sew, amateurs and also pros.
As I drooled over the colourful, glossy photos in the book on the drive home from the library, hubby said, "Do you really like that sort of stuff?". What a question!
Anyway, an excellent book in my opinion. I especially love the modern feel, the colourful fabrics in the photos and the down to earth way that Amy Karol writes. I was also quite amused about her fabric storage system... she keeps it all crammed in plastic rubbish bags!
A great idea for a gift for any person who loves to sew, especially with Mother's Day just around the corner... hint hint.
