Number of minutes it takes swim suit to dry in Barbados' hot sun: 4
Number of opportunities to taste rum: 3
Number of stones added due to rum: 7
Eating here can be unnerving. That's not because of the quality of the food (it's been amazing), but because you'll see dolphin on the menu. Early on, a waitress assured us "no, it isn't Flipper". I took a breath. It's actually mahi-mahi, otherwise known as dolphin-fish. Google it right now. It's like a giant, swimming, silver weather balloon.
King fish, tuna, salmon and barracuda are all on the menu here. The fish is plentiful and fresh and it's caught in the beautiful waters around Barbados.
Whether you choose a restaurant that demands "long pants and no deck shoes" (ie. you can't wear your cut-offs and Birkenstocks), or an eaterie that offers fries and ketchup as a side to your burger, is up to you.
The chicken is good, says Paul. For the vegetarians, there's a speciality macaroni pie (which is macaroni cheese…who knew?) and the rice is good.
But the national dish, says our host Cedric, is flying fish and cornmeal cooked with ocre. It's "robust to cook" and it's called Cou Cou (pronounced – coo coo (like a pigeon)).
Win a holiday to the Accra Beach Hotel with Barbados Tourism Marketing Inc and 1Leisure (the 'breakfast' bit of the B and B is great too) and you can eat out at night in style. The hotel's in a thriving area and there are loads of cafes and eateries. I spotted a Subway up the road last night.
Isle of Wight Radio's on tour so we took an Island Safari 4×4 jeep tour of Barbados. It included some off-roading through sugar plantations and was amazing way to see the scenery. I knew there would be a use for my traditional um…shall we say padding? It was extremely bumpy at times.
I'll go to the gym when we're back.
The tour took us to Hackleton's Cliff, which gave us a panoramic view of one of the most dramatic coastlines I've ever seen.
I think the warning sign was aimed at those (me and Paul) choosing to take their rum-o'clock stop here. It doesn't mix well with a sheer drop.
From there, it was onto the surfers' paradise of Bathsheba. Think a humid version of Culver, with HUGE rocks and a rum bar (instead of those little loos that the National Trust runs).
We met some amazing people yesterday. Tonisha and Victoria run the Accra Beach Hotel (where you could be staying)…
And hats off to Dwayne, who was the man behind the Island Safari wheel…
Today, we're learning how to make cocktails and play the steel pans. It'll give Paul another career to work towards when he's too old to see the faders.

Jay, VT - Northern Vermont University-Johnson scored just 45 seconds into Wednesday's game against NVU-Lyndon and made it stand up as the Hornets fell to the Badgers, 1-0, in a North Atlantic Conference women's soccer match on Wednesday afternoon. The match was the first ever event to be played on the new turf stadium at Jay Peak Resort. The Badgers improve to 7-5 overall and 3-2 in NAC play, while the Hornets fall to 2-7 on the season and 1-3 in conference.
The match had barely started when Johnson's Lindsay Sanchez-Cardona scored an unassisted goal to give the Badgers the lead. That would be the only goal of the game, as both teams played solid defense the rest of the way. Lyndon's Lauren Young (Danville, VT) and Johnson's Kaitlin Boucher both stopped seven shots in goal. For the game the Hornets outshot the Badgers 15-9 and held a 4-0 advantage in corner kicks. However Lyndon was never able to score the equalizer.
The Hornets will return home to host Green Mountain College in a non-conference matchup on Saturday afternoon on Varsity Field. Saturday will also be Senior Day, as Lyndon will recognize its senior women's and men's soccer players.

Baykal was knocked down by a train in a remote suburb of Kirov. It was noticed by people and brought to the clinic. The paw had to be amputated because bones were completely crushed. One hour after the operation the dog started to get up. On the first day he couldn't understand completely what had happened. The front leg is lacking, and how to run now? It was just a few days since that, and Baykal found it out. Now he jumps, runs, plays and feels excelent. Tender like a cat, it is made for communication with people. He will be the best protector and loyal friend.

It didnt have to be narrow, the Bible should forgive me please,
What were I supposed to think, l have got to squeeze??
Fit in and press myself against this little path I dont necessarily see,
Worrying about things I intentionally forget to keep up with,
Hand me the keys to where my Creator lives,
I'll ask him, which road is less travelled?
Take me there! Leave me there!
For if I find myself there,complete and absolute,
I will have built up enough courage to decide why go narrow or not,
I swear they taught us it's depression and boredom,
But what is wrong if that is what I call freedom?
Too many roads and too many norms,
No treasures,no mysteries,
I daydream of a world I can only write in stories,
And that can only be done on a less travelled road,
I need to see.
Happy New Year!

If you're in your late 20's and still not married, you have absolutely nothing to worry about. According to science the ideal age to tie the knot is 32!
Scientist, Nicholas Wolfinger, thoroughly analysed the National Survey of Families and Households and discovered that anytime before or after this will apparently increase your chance of divorce.
He revealed in his blog for the Institute For Family Studies:
"It's no mystery why people who marry as teens face a high risk of divorce. Just recall your high school boyfriend or girlfriend. Along with the exhilaration of first love often came jealousy, insecurity, pressure from parents or friends, and tearful doubts about the future.
Now imagine getting married under the same conditions. Scholars have long known that youthful marriage is a strong predictor of divorce."
Wolfinger added that someone who marries at 25 is more than 50 per cent less likely to get divorced than someone who gets married at 20.
"What about age at marriage past the twenties? Delaying marriage from the teens until the early twenties produces the largest declines in divorce risk, for totally understandable reasons: we're all changing a lot more from year to year as teenagers than when we're in our twenties or thirties."
"Couples in their thirties are more mature and usually have a sounder economic foundation. Conversely, youthful marriage is correlated with lower educational attainment, which compounds divorce risk no matter how old you are."
So if you still in your 20's and freaking out because you haven't found the ideal partner don't worry you've still got time ahead of you.

Background Online Pos Software
Over the past year or so, I have been seeing SamCart everywhere. Online Pos Software
As an online entrepreneur, now I pay extra close attention to the shopping carts that people are utilizing and I started noticing more people using SamCart.
Then I started seeing advertisements from SamCart, so I signed up for their email list. I received a few mails from their support being hyped by them, therefore I decided to give it a shot.
So, did it live it up into the hype? Here is my honest SamCart review.
What Is SamCart?
SamCart is a checkout platform that Includes conversion-optimized checkout templates along with upsell, arrange bump, subscription and payment strategy capabilities which are designed to optimize profits.
How SamCart Works
Here are the steps that SamCart walks You to help you sell your merchandise online:
Insert a new product (electronic or physical)
choose the payment structure you want (possibly a one-time payment, payment program, or subscription)
choose the checkout page template you want (SamCart's templates are amazing and they have been demonstrated to convert)
Customize the checkout pages to match your personal website and brand
Add upsells, produce coupons, split-tests, etc..
If you are someone that wishes to establish a shopping cart SamCart is right for you. You are able to get up and running in under thirty minutes. I set all my things up but that is probably because I watched a few YouTube videos about it ahead.
Click here to start your SamCart trial.
SamCart Features
The reason that SamCart has been able to Because they offer numerous features that help online retailers earn more money, grow is. Whether you're running an e-commerce shop or selling info products, these features will help you make more money and have SamCart pay for itself rather quickly.
Affiliate Center
One of the best things about selling goods on the internet is that you could enlist an whole army of affiliates to market your stuff. You don't have to spend time promoting your products, nor do you need to spend a dime. You simply pay them when they create a sale for you, if you're able to get affiliates to spread the word. Online Pos Software
SamCart allows you to create your own personal army of affiliates which will sell your goods for you together with the Affiliate Center. SamCart automatically generates an Affiliate Signup page for you – that is where others may apply to advertise your merchandise.
You'll find a link to this page, which means that you can send it out to prospective affiliates, place it on your website, or send it from your own email list. I invite them to become affiliates whenever my email readers go without purchasing anything from me. Hey, if they are not purchasing anything, it's still a way for me to profit from them.
Every time a possible affiliate fills out your application, they will be shown a message that their account is"pending approval". When that occurs, you'll find a notification that they implemented via email. It include buttons to accept or reject the person's application. You can even set this up to automatically accept affiliates if you'd like.
SamCart's default affiliate commission is 50 percent. However, this payout to whatever you want can be customized by you. You may pay your affiliates a flat rate commission (a set dollar amount per purchase ) or a proportion. I've had a great deal of success by increasing the affiliate for top-performing affiliates to give them a bonus to sell more.
Checkout Pages
One of the coolest things about SamCart is they have 18 professionally designed templates that are proven to convert. Honestly, I don't think ALL of the templates are good, but I do love almost all of them. My favourite is the classic template.
The apparent huge advantage here is that the templates are used by other recognized marketers, which means it is possible to stay away from the innumerable hours of designing and testing your own pages.
All of the templates have hope components like reviews, guarantees, and safety reassurances that give your clients the reassurance they need to enhance your conversions.
As soon as you pick your checkout page, you can easily customize it by changing the colors of the header, footer, buttons, etc.. You can also choose the fields you would like to add and you can add custom bullet points to describe the product your client is buying (I have discovered bullet points to be especially helpful, and that's why you see them all my sales pages).
All the pages are mobile responsive, which is super important in our ever-increasingly mobile world. One of the reasons I switched over to SamCart was because my previous checkout page provider was not as responsive as I desired it to be. Online Pos Software
I do a good deal of advertising on Google AdWords, where most of my traffic comes from cellular. I found that with my previous shopping cart, folks abandoned in a speed, which meant I had been flushing the toilet is spent down by my advertisement. SamCart assisted my boost my conversions.
Plusthey have a trendy"sandbox" mode, which enables you make sure everything is working before going live with your product. With my shopping cart that is previous, I really had to print everything and then test it. I hated doing that. With SamCart, I can test obligations without going live and without charging your credit card (and messing up your stats).
Click Upsells
Once I told my friends I was writing a SamCart review, they explained I must stress how awesome their one click upsells are, and I agree.
If you're selling on the internet and you are not offering upsells, you're leaving a great deal of cash on the table. In reality, back in 2006, Amazon reported that 35 percent of its earnings were from its efforts that were upselling. Don't you think it warrants your consideration if Amazon is currently earning that much money from it?
An upsell is a strategy that helps you increase your average order value. You do not even understand it and likely encounter upsells all of the time. It's there as an upsell for people who don't want to worry about maintenance, although you do not need to get the extended warranty for your car. You don't HAVE to have dessert after dinner, but restaurants like to offer it.
Continuing with the dessert case, these small $8 cakes are not a massive sum of money, but if you are the restaurant selling dozens of them each night, the money adds up.
SamCart makes this process seamless by providing upsells where all of the customer has to do is click on a single button and purchase your offer. According to these, SamCart users who use one click upsells typically boost their average customer value by a whopping 68.1 percent. Online Pos Software
Click here to start your SamCart trial.
One Page Checkout
This attribute is unique because it offers you the capability to include many different payment choices onto one checkout page. For my $997 online course, I utilize Teachable, and they do not offer this feature. When a client wants the payment plan I must have separate checkout pages. I WISH I could use SamCart because of that.
The one page voucher takes multiple payments to a completely new level because it keeps traffic on the webpage while they determine how to pay. You realize how important it is to keep your traffic on the page if you've ever sold anything online.
Cross Selling Bumps
Cross-selling is a way to sell products that are associated with the one the client already owns. A cross-sell would be gas or auto insurance, if a client purchases a vehicle from you.
You may be familiar with this as bundling. When you package the principal product and products together, you can increase your profits. McDonald's does by purchasing fries and drinks with their 14, this exceptionally well.
Subscription Saver
When I first started selling subscription products on the internet, I had been naive enough to believe everyone would pay on time, every time. I guessed that if I had been good enough honor my duties and to cover my bills, so would everyone else.
Boy, was I naive. Turns out there are some real losers. Individuals who decline charges or cancel credit cards to get out of making payments. Your subscription income is gone, usually once this happens. With any lawful action (like sending a demand letter… if you've got the client's address) you can not get your money. Sad.
But now with SamCart, your subscriptions are being safeguarded from diminished payments and expired credit cards. A payment fails, SamCart sends your client an email on your behalf – the email has a link where customers can upgrade the payment they have on file from their inbox. That means that you don't have to waste your time hounding your customers.
When a client fails to update the payment information after several attempts, SamCart automatically cancels the subscription. SamCart marks them as"delinquent" in your account so you know who they are and so you've got the opportunity to reach out to these customers. Online Pos Software
A/B Testing
Isn't it bizarre that people talk about split examining their revenue pages, their opt-in pages, their email subject lines, and much more… but they do not ever speak about testing their homepage?
It appears mad, right?
When you figure that a large part of your potential clients are abandoning your checkout page, don't you believe a half-decent split evaluation could help you get yet another client??
I do too.
Fortunately, SamCart offers the capacity to conduct live split tests. In the world of shopping carts, this is wonderful. You will effectively double your earnings if you have a abandonment rate and your snags you ONE extra customer. Yes, DOUBLE SALES. Much like that.
SamCart lets you change almost any setting you want, so it is possible to test any variant which tickles your fancy. It's possible to alter the template, try out a different warranty (I have found that the longer, the better), eliminate some fields (I've discovered the less, the better), and more.
Once you've got your variations created, SamCart mechanically tests involving your variations. You do not have to do anything except watch the results roll in. You can head over to the"AB Test" section in the item's settings to observe how the variations do. Once you locate a winner, SamCart allows you to easily disable the loser.
The only thing you can not split-test using SamCart is the product's cost. Run a test between those two products and you'll have to create two products, if you want to do so.
When it comes to A/B testing, experience tells me that you ought to test the big stuff first (like entirely different templates) and then work your way down to the minute particulars. Oh, and wait until you have a sample size before you call it.
Why Many Checkout Pages Suck
Depending on what study you read, 80 percent of people That"add to cart" on your site will abandon that cart. You will add a significant amount of money to your bottom line, if it is possible to get a small amount of these people to convert.
SamCart can assist you to boost conversions. Online Pos Software
SamCart's entire value proposition is that their checkout page templates are tested to the gills and they've been proven to convert better than their competitors. You want to ensure that you're optimizing your conversions if you sell items online, and SamCart can help you do so.
Plus, most checkout pages are not designed to maximize the total amount of profit which you get from every sell. Matters such as upsells and order lumps help you add more profit to every sale.
By way of instance, I sell a $97 PDF on my site. I would not be able to bring an upsell if I used a voucher form. However, since I offer an upsell, approximately one out of every 3 individuals take my supply for $60.
Because of this one simple attribute, I am adding an average of $20 to every single purchase of that product. That's like giving myself over a increase that is 20% simply. Which means I can devote an additional $20 on advertising to acquire a client and develop my business even faster.
My Beloved SamCart Feature
My favorite SamCart feature is hands-down the Training and customer service they provide. They have tons of videos in what is known as their"Knowledge Base" which teaches you how to use their applications (although it's already pretty easy) and they supply a good deal of education about the best way best to earn more money if you are selling online.
They have an entire library of product information, tutorials, webinars, and more. The education alone is worth the price. I had to add this fact in my SamCart review.
SamCart Integrations
I didn't get a Opportunity to integrate SamCart using a Lot of tools, simply because I don't use that many. I use mainly utilize Drip OptinMonster, PayPal and Stripe.
Interested in learning more about OptinMonster? Have a look at my review . I wrote an overview of that too if you are interested in learning more about Drip.
SamCart lets you seamlessly sync with a lot of tools, including email, marketing automation, registration, and payment processing. It was easy for me to incorporate my system together with SamCart and I envision that it would be the same for the majority of individuals out there.
I have been reading on various forums just how easy it was for people to integrate Kajabi, Infusionsoft, Hubspot, MailChimp, Aweber, and much more. However, my toolbox is rather straightforward, so I can not discuss this in depth in my SamCart review. Online Pos Software
Does SamCart Cost?
SamCart has three different strategies:
Basic ($19 per month)
Pro ($99 per month)
Premium ($199 per month)
In the Premium level, SamCart is a complete steal with all the features. However, I've discovered that the Basic is good enough but you want to acquire the program, if you're doing a great deal of business online.
Also keep in mind that if you are looking to save some money, they give you a discount if you pay yearly. I recommend that you make the most of the free trial (to ensure that it's definitely suitable for you) and then paying annually to conserve money. If you pay yearly, the Pro program is $888 per year (that saves you $300) and the Premium program is $1,788 annually (which saves you $600).
SamCart Supplies a 14-Day Free Trial (and Money-Back Gurantee)
If you are on the fence about trying SamCart, they Provide a completely free trial.
This means that you can test them out absolutely free, and if they don't make you more money than your previous shopping cart (or you just hate it for some reason) then you can fire them. You are able to cancel and walk away.
Plus, they have a 30-day 100% money-back guarantee anyhow, further reducing the risk.
According to SamCart, the typical SamCart seller constitutes to 5X over the average seller on other platforms. What do you have to lose? Get started now. Online Pos Software

A good road trip is a good enough reason to choose a country as a vacation destination. There are readers whose blood runs faster when they think about the drive that waits. And every country has picturesque roads made to pleasure the eye. Lets talk about the ones in Poland.
Poland a 40 million-strong Central European country boosts some very interesting cultural and historical monuments, as well as natural beauty. Probably the best way to see all these is by hire car. Fuel prices are some of the lowest in Europe, as are car rental rates. Nevertheless, some of the roads there can be adventurous. While fabulous road trips usually start in the capital, in Poland's case, the best starting point is Krakow, located in the South. This historical town, former capital of the Polish Kingdom, offers lots of things to see, including the medieval Old Town and the imposing Wawel Castle. Car rentals are available at every step, including at the airport, the main railway station and the town center. Prices start from 15-20 Euros per day for a reasonably small car.
After a short detour to the South for a trip in the high peaks of the Carpathians, to Poland's ski capital, Zakopane, one ought to head north. The road to Warsaw passes the Mazowiecki Plain, riddled with pine forests, rich plains and numerous hills. The capital is 3-hour trip away and is a mess to drive through. But being Poland's largest city, it's worth the trouble – the Old Town, the Palace of Culture and a 2 hours tour of Communist Warsaw will for sure catch your attention.
Leaving the capital behind, we go even northern, towards Augustow, an urban area situated in the middle of Poland's world famous lake region – Mazury. This is my personal favorite: narrow, impeccable roads through the woods, on the edge of some of the most beautiful lakes you've ever seen – a true splendor.
We end our tour of Poland on the beaches of the Baltic Sea. Gdansk, the birthplace of the Solidarity Labor Union that had a decisive role in bringing down Communism in Eastern Europe and one of the oldest Baltic ports is our final stop. The road cuts through the lake region and passed very close to the Russian border in Kaliningrad, offering spectacular views over the sea. Enjoy!

In today's culture, you don't often see people give a real apology. They don't even acknowledge that they have done anything wrong. They make excuses for their behavior, and they try to skirt around the issue. As a result, they say nothing of any importance, and their relationship with the offended party worsens.
Today nobody expects anyone to apologize anymore. People want to save face and pretend that they haven't done anything wrong. Politicians say they are "sorry IF they have offended anyone." But that doesn't deal with anything and it doesn't help their credibility improve.
So what does a real apology look like? Here are three steps to making a real apology and what you can expect to happen as a result.
1. Realize what you did (or did not do)
It is important to understand what you did or didn't do. You first have to come to terms with what happened. It's not about sweeping it under the rug or pretending it never happened. You have to acknowledge your part in what happened.
People tend to want to revise history in terms of how it will enhance their story. But by doing that, they ignore how their actions affects other people's story. No one is an island. Everything you do affects someone else. Your actions have consequences, and you must be prepared to deal with them.
2. Admit what you did (or did not do)
Then it's crucial to admit what you did or didn't do to the other person(s). But people don't want to do that. They feel like that will make them vulnerable in front of other people. They feel like they will be exposed as having done something wrong.
But the truth is that they have done something wrong. Someone has been harmed by something that was said or done, and amends must be made. It's not like they can hide from what they did or didn't do. What happened is known. Anything less than a real apology will make them look foolish.
3. Express sorrow over what you did (or didn't do)
Here's the hard part. It's important to be remorseful over what happened. You don't have to cry crocodile tears over it. But you do have to show that you are genuinely sorry over what you did or didn't do and how it impacted the other person(s).
People tend to want to save face by running from what they did. But the truth is the only way to save face is to publicly realize what happened, admit what happened, and express sorrow over what happened. That is the only way that you can restore the relationship. Because that's the only way you can give a real apology.

First up, I need to send a great shout-out to my sister because it's her birthday today (as well as All Soul's Day and Dia de los Muertos), and because she and my brother-in-law brightened my week considerably by appearing on my doorstep on my birthday. 'Twas a total surprise to me, especially because they live far, far, FAR away, and because my own family (even my son, who's 9) did a grand job of keeping the secret. Now I know just how big a secret they can keep.
Hm. I'll take this to be a good thing.
And another shout-out to all of you who have done so much to make this journey more bearable by bringing food, sending cards and care packages, calling and keeping me in your thoughts. It has made all the difference. As the priest in church said yesterday (before they began the litany of saints: "John and Paul, Cosmos and Damian, Agatha, Agnes, and Lucy" all the way down to Crysogunus — pardon my bad spelling), when people ask him how he is, he replies, "I am blessed." Well, that makes two of us.
The Popsicle Report: Today, I opted out of a Popsicle. When I surreptitiously checked the freezer at the infusion center, I saw only a half-dozen sad, over-crystallized fluorescent tubes. Perhaps I've gotten spoiled (as far as Popsicles go, anyway), but those just didn't look worth having.
Today was infusion #4 of the Taxol, #16 in the series of 24 total infusions, so I'm two-thirds of the way through. There's no reason to expect any delays (fingers crossed), so I should be able to finish by the end of the year. With holiday travels, the last infusion may end up being on New Years' Eve. Auspicious timing, I think.
After the energy-level roller coaster of the past couple weeks — steroid high, Benadryl crash, steroid high, steroid crash — I thought to ask the oncologist if we could make some changes to lessen the upheaval. The rate of brain activity made me think I was channeling Robin Williams (even though he's not dead yet) at his most manic stages. If you like him you can find plenty of his clips on YouTube.
So today, we made some changes in the pre-emptive drugs I take before the Taxol. Instead of Benadryl, it's Claritin, which doesn't bring on the dozing. And we've reduced the dose of dexamethasone to lessen the steroid high. I'm all for being happy, but can sacrifice a bit of happiness to gain a better chance at sleep. The melatonin suggested by the naturopath hasn't helped, so I've gone back to the Ativan and will try to get back to natural sleep once the chemotherapy ends.
My white cell count was a plain old, normal 5, but Dr. L wants me to do a couple Neupogen shots this week. Since the count last week was 21, it's hard to know if the white cells have leveled off now or might drop further. Working with the Neupogen this week might clarify that. Now if I could only track down that elusive swine flu vaccine to complete the picture….
There have been some positive changes now that the remnants of the Adriamycin and Cytoxan have dissipated. No more heart palpitations, except what I'd always had, or ringing in the ears. My mouth feels better, and food tastes better, though not quite right yet, which I realized again with an attempt last night to eat some chips and salsa. And my stomach isn't so acidic. Gosh, I might even attempt a glass of orange juice soon. Yippee!
But of course there are trade-offs. A slight oozing of blood in my nose, which is caused by the Taxol, and no improvement in the anemia. White spots starting to show up on my fingernails, and my eyebrows are slowly disappearing. No sign of joint/muscle pain (fingers crossed again), but I'm going ahead with the preventive maneuver of fingers on ice to prevent neuropathy.
Instead of the ice packs of last week, this time it was tubs of ice water for the full immersion effect during infusion. Since I couldn't write in my journals during that time (I keep one of my own plus one for each child), I plugged in my iPod and gazed out the window. (I make a point of picking the Barcalounger with the best view.) Outside was a glorious old maple tree, thick variegated trunk sending up two dozen close-packed branches to today's clear sky, the ubiquitous Pacific-northwest moss spreading over at least half the tree. It would be a fantastic tree for climbing if you can get a leg up. The tree is still hanging on to about half its yellow leaves, but it lazily surrendered a few now and then to float to earth. Sure beats watching pictures on a TV screen any day. Thankfully, there are no TVs in the infusion center.
So for the hour of the infusion, I watched the tree and listened to my tunes (on shuffle mode, of course): some reggae from Bob Marley, Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" (I'm not ashamed to admit), Santana, Bonnie Raitt, Ron Carter (playing jazzed-up Bach on his stringed bass), James Taylor, and Mozart's clarinet concerto.
Look, if ya gotta pump poison into your veins to knock out a deadly disease, the more comfortable and distracted you are, the better.
As I'm typing this, my daughter is practicing the Shostakovich piece on the piano downstairs while my son is plucking away at "When You Wish Upon a Star" on his guitar in the kitchen. Shostakovich and Disney. Perhaps this is what they mean when they talk about cognitive dissonance?
So anyway, while I listened, watched, and soaked (but didn't doze), I was reminded of another image of fingers in a bowl. Of course we document our age if we recall it but — do any of you remember Madge, the manicurist, in that Palmolive TV ad of years ago? She'd soak her clients' hands in dish soap because it was supposedly so gentle and effective. I half expected to glance over and see her in her smock, sitting on a stool at my table, half-moon glasses slipped down her nose, nail file poised in midair. And I wasn't the only one thinking this. One of the nurses described the same memory when she walked by and saw me soaking my hands.
This is the second image from a TV ad I've connected to my experience. The other one is the Cream of Wheat bowl. That bowl followed me around in my mind, as it did the children in the TV ads of my youth. I much prefer the image of a soothing, heartening protector following me around. Sure beats the Sword of Damocles. (If you want that whole story, you can find it on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damocles.)
One other side effect that has not yet appeared (though some might beg to differ) is the dreaded "chemo brain." Here are the symptoms, according to the Mayo Clinic:
Signs and symptoms of chemo brain may include:
- Being unusually disorganized
- Confusion
- Difficulty concentrating
- Difficulty finding the right word
- Difficulty learning new skills
- Difficulty multitasking
- Fatigue
- Feeling of mental fogginess
- Short attention span
- Short-term memory problems
- Taking longer than usual to complete routine tasks
- Trouble with verbal memory, such as remembering a conversation
- Trouble with visual memory, such as recalling an image or list of words
Well I don't know, but I suspect many of us could lay claim to some of these symptoms some of the time, even without going through chemotherapy. A friend told me he knew of someone who claimed she bought a whole roomful of furniture under the influence of chemo brain. I haven't yet had the urge to amass couches and chairs, but if I do something equally wild, you'll know why.

Most of us are familiar with the activities of avian cuckoos where a bird lays its eggs in the nest of a host bird of a different species, after kicking out the eggs that were laid by the host. We have a dozen or so species of cuckoos in Australia and some of them utilise the nests of birds half their size. The worst mismatch I have seen was a pair of exhausted Superb Blue Wrens (Malurus cyaneus) trying to feed a massive fledgling Fan-tailed cuckoo (Cuculua pyrrhophanus). The young cuckoo was never happy with the amount of food brought to it and constantly pecked its foster parents.
Did you know there are insect cuckoos too? Granted there's not a lot of the bullying going on like in the bird example described above, but there is certainly similar amounts of clandestine behaviour. There are about 75 species in the wasp family Chrysididae in Australia, with common species being referred to as "cuckoo wasps". They vary in length from about 6 mm to 22 mm in length and they are strikingly beautiful insects because of their metallic colours.
Common cuckoo wasp species are noted for laying their eggs in the nests of mud-dauber wasps of the family Sphecidae and potter wasps of the family Vespidae. Some species of cuckoo wasps lay an egg into a mud nest cell while it is still open, and being provisioned by the host wasp. Other cuckoo wasp species chew their way into sealed mud nests to lay eggs.
When cuckoo wasp larvae hatch they may feed on the food stored for the host, or feed on the host larva, depending on the species of cuckoo wasp involved. Here is some terminology for you: if the cuckoo wasp larva feeds on and kills the host it is termed a parasitoid, but if it feeds on the host's provisions it is known as a cleptoparasite. Either way the host larva dies.
Host wasps are armed with powerful jaws and stings, so cuckoo wasps try to enter nests when the host wasps are off gathering nest provisions. But they have evolved some defences if they are caught in the act. Cuckoo wasps have a very thick exoskeleton and they roll themselves into a ball and tuck their legs in to avoid damage.
I see blue-banded bees (Amegilla sp.) almost daily in the garden at my place in western Victoria. I enjoy their noisy buzzing and I know they are excellent pollinators. Unbeknownst to the blue-banded bees there is another species of bee, the cuckoo bee Thyreus sp. (below), which follows them and lays eggs in their nests. The cuckoo bee is a cleptoparasite. When its egg hatches inside the blue-banded bee nest the larva eats all the nectar/pollen provisions placed there by the blue-banded bee. When the blue-banded bee larva hatches from its egg, there is no food left and it dies.
There is one more group of usurpers worth mentioning and that is the parasitic wasps Gasteruption spp. (gasteruptids) of the family Gasteruptiidae. This slender wasp (below) lays eggs in the nests of several groups of native bees. This wasp is a parasitoid and a cleptoparasite – its hatching larvae feed on the eggs or larvae of the host bees and then the pollen store. It is particularly worrisome for people who keep bee homes/insect hotels – constructions that are now de rigueur in domestic horticulture. Gasteruption has an egg laying apparatus (ovipositor) longer than its body that can penetrate the tunnels and nests of native bees. This slender wasp is easily recognisable and may be seen hovering near flowers like a Will-o'-the-Wisp.
None of these parasitoids and cleptoparasites, be they cuckoo wasps sneaking up on mud wasp nests, or cuckoo bees tracking blue-banded bees, or wispy gasteruptids penetrating native bee nests, ever wipe out their hosts. It would be counter-productive for a parasitoid or a cleptoparasite to do so because that would mean their own death. As long as there is a balance all will be well – complicated certainly – but okay. The insect world, particularly the wasp world, is a very complex one.Share this:

The NFL Network is reporting that the Saints will not extend the contract of LB Jonathan Vilma, which is not good news for the Jets and Giants.
If the Saints had extended Vilma the Jets would have received the Saints second-round pick in this year's draft, while the Giants (per the TE Jeremy Shockey trade) would have gotten bumped from a second and fifth-round pick in 2009 to a first-round pick in 2010.
The Jets used the Saints fourth-round pick to select starting CB Dwight Lowery in 2008, but while they get New Orleans' third rounder in 2009, they have to give the Saints their fourth-round pick.
It came as no surprise that the Saints decided not to extend Vilma given the circumstances. Vilma has had a decent season (104 tackles), but teams generally do not give away a first-round pick unless it's necessary. Vilma will now be a free agent after this season.

9:42 am 6/28/17
This morning, I did something for the first time in the past four days. I took my mother's living will with her DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) out of my purse where I've been carrying it, and filed it away in the file cabinet.
We had an early morning meeting with the doctor today. Mom's numbers improved significantly over night. They improved enough that he said, unequivocally, that she would recover from this event.
The writer in me is expecting the twist.
It's amazing to me that only four days have passed since Mom was admitted into the hospital. As writers, we learn to slow down time during critical moments in the plot to bring the reader deeper into the action or suspense. We focus on minute details that are somehow significant to bring the scene to life.
Details like how my mother has never once taken off her wig throughout this entire ordeal. (She'd be mad I wrote this — so no one tell her, please!)
Details like the smell of the room, a cross between Purell hand sanitizer and generic institution-smell, like the smell of my grade school. Emotionally, I feel like I'm grade school age every time I walk into her room, too. It's an unsettling feeling all around.
Details like seeing my mom slumped in that hospital bed, feeling awful. I always try to take the chair next to her bed, instead of across from her because it's too difficult to see her like that. I can still see her from the side chair, but not the full-on view, and somehow it's easier. Cowardly, I know, but there you have it.
Us writers must have learned that slowing down technique from life itself, because I swear it seems like at least two weeks have passed since Sunday. I keep forgetting what day it is and time is measured by making sure the animals are fed on time and what time we'll see the doctor next.
I am amazed at the nurses. They way they juggle life and death responsibilities with an upbeat attitude. Even when their patients are cranky and sharp-tongued. Even when family members grill them for details. Even when as they care for one patient, they're answering a call for another. It makes my paltry multi-tasking skills of answering an email while on a conference call look pathetic by comparison.
I never once saw anything but cool, calm, kindness and professionalism from the nurses, both male and female. I would never in a million years be able to do that job, which makes me kind of ashamed of myself. Their work truly matters. Mine, not so much.
This has been quite an experience, and it's not over yet. We have rehab in a few days, which will last several weeks. During that time we'll be looking at assisted living centers for Mom. She's agreed she should no longer live alone, and since she's determined that I keep Charlie, she doesn't really need a whole house with a yard anyway.
I hope she keeps to that decision as she recovers. Knowing the full scope of my lack of nursing skills, I'll sleep so much better at night knowing she has skilled professionals to watch over her should she need them.
Tonight we'll stop back at the hospital for a bit, and then Dennis and I will be shopping for a new bed. The one we have now is too high for our newest member of the family to jump on an off of at night.
Here's Charlie, our new addition, sleeping in his bed. This is his daytime bed. His nighttime bed is whichever one we're in.
That's a good problem to have.

Bolly Blog
A chance to talk mostly about Bolwell Sports Cars.

A local SHED find.
Pete, our inimitable secretary, discovered this TS1600 powered R8 former rally car in a shed when he bought his vineyard down south.
Rather than shoot it off to Sims metals (which I am sure is the place that all of the Mk.1 Golf engines and gearboxes have disappeared to), he gave it away. A good thing too, the recipient has been beavering away on it, this is an example of his good work.
Just imagine if it turns out like this.
Now, I reckon I know that car, I could be wrong I guess. When Mike Wiltshire was building B8/69 which he had bought as a kit, in a lube bay in a BP servo in the CBD (he could be seen burning the midnight oil most nights), he was doing geology at Adelaide Uni at the time. His get from A to B car, then, (which also doubled as a rally car, racer at Mallala and got him to outback field trips) was an R16 powered R8 that looked just like that.
Not to be outdone, here's Garrie H's latest SHED find.
These little Renault 750s are beauties I reckon.
Occasional club member and Mk.7 owner, Brian Deckert, has one that is pretty hot and fitted with a much bigger Reno engine. That thing does wheel stands.

The 6ft 7in heavyweight proposed to the former womens champion under a waterfall
RONDA ROUSEY is engaged to fellow UFC fighter Travis Browne and wants to get married soon.

"It could be really easy. I know I don't want a lot, I don't really need decorations or flowers, just somewhere to go and something to eat and people around."
Browne divorced first wife Jenna Renee Webb in February 2016 after she accused him of domestic abuse.

Consider the following grammar G:
$S \rightarrow bS \mid aA \mid b$
$A \rightarrow bA \mid aB$
$B \rightarrow bB \mid aS \mid a$
Let $N_a(w)$ and $N_b(w)$ denote the number of a's and b's in a string $\omega$ respectively.
The language $L(G)$ over $\left\{a, b\right\}^+$ generated by $G$ is
$\left\{w \mid N_a(w) > 3N_b(w)\right\}$
$\left\{w \mid N_b(w) > 3N_a(w)\right\}$
$\left\{w \mid N_a(w) = 3k, k \in \left\{0, 1, 2, …\right\}\right\}$
$\left\{w \mid N_b(w) = 3k, k \in \left\{0, 1, 2, …\right\}\right\}$
above CFG generate string $b$, $aaa$..
$b$ will eliminate options A and D
$aaa$ eliminate options B.
C is answer i.e. number of $a = 3k, k =0,1,2$....
becoz it is right-linear grammar, so draw m/c
so number of $a = 3k, k =0,1,2....$
Tuhin Dutta haha
In right linear questions,they can be attacked by converting to machine.sometimes we dont recognize language by just looking at it,But when we get machine we can recognize easily.
Now coming to your doubt.That null was because it is a non terminal.If from start symbol we get b,it is end we cannot get anything more.And it is in language so it is accepted state
@pawan you are defining B on 'a' to start and final
so what if when you make start state as final state? It is also same DFA right?
@Suneel Padala
Epsilon is not in the language.

Segafredo Zanetti has become commercial partner of the Ospreys, one of the Celtic League's most important rugby team which has its Headquarters in Swansea, Wales.
Ospreys Rugby, has recently gone through a detailed and meticulous restructure which has seen major changes across all areas of the business. These changes have been met with enthusiasm by the fans and the business sector alike with record numbers of season tickets sold for this 2012-13 season and corporate hospitality figures up by 50%.
A much more active focus on development in recent years has also paid dividends with over 90% of the current squad home grown and the recent 4th Title in the competition Rabodirect Pro 12 in Dublin made Ospreys rugby the most successful Club in Celtic League history.
Segafredo Zanetti will feature on the new-look of the Ospreys' jersey with the logo on both shoulders.
Moreover, the sponsorship agreement with the Ospreys/Swansea City/Liberty Stadium will see the Segafredo Zanetti brand appear in the Stadium's hospitality boxes, lounges and around the perimeter of field.


text: Want to go east of Chatham for a day, searching for the king of all bluewater gamefish, the Bluefin Tuna? Or maybe south of the islands and look for school Tuna and Mahi? Maybe even a canyon trip when we have a weather window? So do we, and we can make it a reality for you. When the bite is on out to the east, we outfit the boats and go. We have all of the offshore safety gear. We primarily cast and jig big game spinning rods for Tuna on the surface and below birds. This style of fishing is addicting. We find the life and put you on feeding Tuna. Extremely challenging but incredibly rewarding. If you haven't fished like this before, you need to. We do have trolling and live bait rigs as well for all abilities and times when you need to keep lines in the water to get the bite. Even when it's slower, the amount of marine life and views you can see are amazing. We can accommodate 3 anglers for casting trips and 4 anglers for bait/troll. We typically leave the dock under the cover of darkness and return at 1pm for the halfday or 5pm for the full day trip. Tuna fishing is anything but guaranteed, but we had a good fall and were able to get our anglers tight to fish most days. Call or email and ask us about the current conditions offshore.

After a 13 year stint as a musician in Boston, Charles Silverman returned to his home state of Connecticut to pursue a design career. While working as a designer at some larger agencies, he noticed a pattern when working for big clients. Often, he was told, there was "no budget for photography." Obviously, this makes designing advertisements for print and the Web difficult, at best. The answer, Silverman was told, was always the same: go to stock photography.
With stock photography, you're limited to what you can find—often not what you're attempting to design. "As a designer, I started picking up the camera to make my life easier because I wasn't able to communicate and tell the stories I wanted to tell with stock or visual assets which could be created via illustration," Silverman recalls.
With camera in hand, Silverman began shooting conceptual photos for ads he was designing, eventually moving on to more polished images. With a wife who is a Wilhelmina model, he had inspiration and motivation. He saved her money by shooting her tests. "The second I picked up a camera and started shooting in studio with strobes, I fell in love," he says. "It was just something clicked in me and I said, 'This is what I want to do.'"
Silverman and partners formed Indigo6, a full-service creative studio. Their tagline reads, in part, "helping clients tell their unique story, humanize their business, and connect with people." The team achieves this by offering interactive, print, corporate identity, photography, and video to their customers. Silverman handles the photography work for the studio. "Our message as a studio for my business side of things is, in this social networking age, it's all about visual assets, and those assets being portable and shareable them. To me, for brands to distinguish themselves and differentiate themselves, they really need to invest in assets," he says.
Storytelling is a key business and creative concept for Silverman and Indigo6. Regardless of what delivery method their clients are envisioning, Silverman always asks, "What are we shooting; what story are we telling?" He refers to Web sites and brochures and any other media as empty containers. "Empty containers set in motion to facilitate marketing," he clarifies. "The reality is what makes a difference is what you put in them. We constantly counsel clients their budgets need to be directed towards creating distinct visual assets."
The transition from designer to photographer was not a stretch for Silverman. He cites others in the field he admires. "There's a lot of photographers who started as designers out there right now doing phenomenally well: Nick Onken and Jeremy Cowart. There's so many more."
Another major motivator for Silverman is just the feeling of shooting photographs. "I really enjoy it," he says. "There's just something in it. It's a visceral reaction from creating photographs. It's just an instant, I don't know how to describe it, but it makes me feel good. I enjoy the whole process from beginning to end: to look at someone's face and think about how I want to light it. What kind of story, however abstract that might be, and try to tell it. Even understand what I might be doing in post a little bit, I enjoy retouching." With strong responses from clients, Silverman is meeting a need, particularly with his portrait work. He has also been shooting a lot of products for Teroforma, which include the always-tricky assignment of shooting glassware on seamless white backgrounds.
Although Silverman didn't study photography formally, he put in many hours studying other photographers. He points to online tutorials by Mark Wallace and Chase Jarvis in particular as being highly informative. He's also a fan of photography podcasts.
Canon gear is what Silverman is shooting currently, using an EOS 5D Mark II and an EOS 7D. His main lenses include the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 and 24-70mm f/2.8, 15mm, 20mm, and a new 100mm he's recently added to his arsenal. He fires his strobes with PocketWizard Plus II units. A CreativeLight 5 Foot Softbox RF Octa is used in the studio. His lights include a Profoto Acute2R, three heads, a ComPactPlus 600R, a Softlight Reflector with Grid, a 3×4 Softbox and a 2×3 Softbox.
"I was just blown away when I started using Profoto," Silverman says. "Absolutely blown away by the consistency and the build quality, just overall. It's completely dead‑on consistent from one day to the next, shot to shot to the next. It's awesome. I can't imagine shooting with anything else. I couldn't imagine not bringing it on location, either. It syncs up great with my meter."
Silverman measures light with his Sekonic L-358. "I see a lot of people these days shooting tethered," he says. "They see their histograms on the back of the camera and they say, 'I can get it close, then tweak it, then dial it in.' When you're dealing with subjects and you have a client standing there, you really can't spend the whole lot of time or mental energy trying to just dial something in. You just got to know you have a really solid foundation and understand exactly what's happening. Sometimes the laptop, screens, or whatever you are shooting tethered into, are not accurate. You don't have the opportunity to focus when there are people around and you are in a client situation. You don't have the leisure to play around all day. I tend to use a meter for that, as well to just to dial it in and know exactly what I am getting. For models, it is really critical to be able to show clients stuff is done as quickly as possible. If you're confident with your light readings, you can relate to the client and the subject more."
Now that he's shot some videos for clients, he's interested in getting the L-758DR, a top choice for cinematographers and videographers.
With no plans to shift to landscape photography, HDR, or anything else, it looks like Indigo6 is on track to continued satisfying of their clients. Foremost, Silverman loves portrait work, but his product photography also keeps clients from the Gold Coast of Connecticut and beyond returning. Watch his site and studio to chart the continued growth of this musician turned designer turned photographer.
