S.M. Vidaurri - Things That Go Bump
What truly terrifies me about bed bugs is not only that you can pick them up anywhere, or that they are super hard to get rid of, or that they suck your blood while you sleep - no, what really gets to me is that you can't feel them when they bite you. They are vampires which always have an invitation, and when you wake up you have a literal bump to show for the horror which went on last night.

Venus Freeze™ provides comfortable anti-aging treatments that tighten the skin and diminish wrinkles in a non-invasive way.
As we get older, our bodies naturally produce less collagen, leading to skin that looks dull and noticeably aged. Venus Freeze™ provides an extremely comfortable, non-surgical solution that harnesses the power of radio frequency technology to boost collagen production by heating the deeper layer of tissue under the skin. This treatment works to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, tighten sagging skin, and restore a refreshed, younger-looking appearance.
Venus Freeze™ works by using a combination of Multi-Polar Radio Frequency and Pulsed Electro Magnetic Fields. The two technologies work in unison to safely and comfortably heat the tissue under the surface of your skin, which encourages the body to produce more collagen and elastin fibers. This process results in firmer, smoother skin that looks noticeably more youthful on the surface.
For more information about Venus Freeze™, please consult the FAQ section below the pricing table.

FAQ's about Venus Freeze™:
Q: Am I a good candidate for this treatment?
The ideal candidate is anyone who is starting to lose some of the elasticity in their skin and is starting to show early signs of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging.
For safety reasons, you may not be able to get this treatment if you have/are:
- Active inflammation and/or infection in the treatment area
- Current or history of cancer
- A degenerative neurological disease or any other disease around the treatment area that's triggered by heat (e.g. herpes)
- An Internal defibrillator/pacemaker
- Metal implants (excluding dental) in the treatment area
- Uncontrolled thyroid gland disorder
- Varicose veins
- Pregnant or are undergoing an IVF procedure
- Skin-related autoimmune diseases
- Silicone implants and/or injections in the area
How many treatments will I need to see results?
You will likely need 6-8 treatment sessions per area. The exact number of sessions needed depends on each individual patient and the area that they're getting done.
How often/far apart should the treatments be?
Treatment sessions are spaced one week apart.
Do I need to do anything to prepare for the service?
All you have to do is make sure your skin is clean before your treatment, which means no lotions, creams, or makeup. Also remove all jewelry around the area that you're getting treated.
How long does the service last?
Each session can last anywhere from 15-30 minutes, depending on which area is being treated.
What will the treatments feel like?
You will feel the applicator slowly get warmer until your skin reaches the required temperature and stays in within the therapeutic temperature range. If you feel like it's getting too hot, just let the operator know and they can tweak the settings to make it more comfortable.
How will I feel after my treatment?
You will probably feel pretty relaxed. The treatment is comfortable and has been compared to a relaxing hot stone massage. Some patients have even fallen asleep while they were getting treated.
How long will the results last and are they permanent?
The treatments are cumulative, which means you'll need more than one to seeing lasting results. After the final session in your treatment plan, your results will continue to develop for up to 3-4 months. However, your face and body will continue to age, maintenance treatments are recommended once a month or every 3-4 months, depending on each individual person.

What Are Translation Services?
If there's one statistic that defies belief, it's the fact that there are over 6,500 verbal forms of language around the world. That's literally thousands of individual dialects that can be found across a host of continents and regions. You would be forgiven for thinking that English is the most popular of these languages, when in fact it's actually Mandarin Chinese – a language spoken by no fewer than 1.2 billion people across the globe.
With that in mind, it's worth noting that with so many languages to keep on top of for businesses, it's not uncommon for them to turn to translation services for help with reaching newer markets, or targeting specific audience bases. But what exactly are these types of services and how do they work? The best way to understand them is to break their features down into individual processes.
Defining the language in need of translation
Most documents, websites, or digital mediums will be created in one specific language – such as English. If the company also wants to appeal to a German market, then they might also be interested in having their active website translated into the German language. This can take time and unfortunately, online translation tools aren't always effective. Hiring an expert to literally translate sentence by sentence will mean that no silly mistakes will be made; and relevant terminology can be applied to the new market. As different locations might feature their own cultures and diversities, a translator will also be able to suggest modifications that may yield greater results depending on the target audience.
Modifying pre-existing documentation
There might be times when a previously existing document will need to be modified to better-suit another type of audience. If we consider the same example as mentioned, but this time with a physical market campaign; it will soon become clear that instead of a website, the business might instead want to focus on handing out physical forms of publicity within Germany, as opposed to offering an alternative language to their online customers. From leaflets all the way to business cards – by modifying the language and keeping the layout, there won't be any concern over branding (or re-branding) and the translated text will be able to appeal to the German customers as well.
Verbal speech translations
Many companies employ international and foreign speakers to help with their meetings – and for good reason, too. These experts can help to ensure that all correspondence is properly communicated, whilst making sure that any international client obtains a full level of understanding relating to the topic of the discussion. Furthermore, by being present in real-time, a translator will be able to act as the 'middle-person' to help both parties communicate effectively and this can be very beneficial in and of itself.

The declaration that Daud Abdullah of the Muslim Council of Britain signed (Letters, 27 March) says the signatories consider "the sending of foreign warships into Muslim waters, claiming to control the borders and prevent the smuggling of arms to Gaza, as a declaration of war, a new occupation, sinful aggression, and a clear violation of the sovereignty of the nation. This must be rejected and fought by all means and ways." The declaration Mr Abdullah signed says the naval forces mandated by the UN and EU, including the Royal Navy, must be "fought by all means and ways". We have seen Islamist jihadi attacks on naval vessels and sailors killed. My constituents who serve in the Royal Navy should not have to face calls for attacks on their ships by British citizens. Mr Abdullah can clear up the matter by withdrawing his signature from the Istanbul declaration.

CD Notes to Melisma (1992) by Apodimi Compania
Revivalist bands, known as kombanies, have been a feature of the nostalgic cult of Rebetika in Greece since the mid 1970's. (1) Comprising for the most part, young enthusiastics of both sexes, these bands charcteristically focus their repertoire on historical or little-known recordings of the pre-war era, and seek to reproduce their supposedly authentic pre-commercial style on acoustic traditional instruments. The results have aptly been compared with old '78s without the scratches (2), and are sometimes open to criticism as contrivedly primitive, hypercorrect and unhistorical.
Melbourne's APODIMI COMPANIA has eveolved beyond this typical mould or metropolitan Greek revivalist bands in response to the multicultural influences to which they have been exposed over the last seven years. The band was formed by a group of university students in Melbourne in 1984 out of the Parikiaki Compania which performed at the Tsitsanis memorial concerts of that year, and initially comprosed bouzouki, baglamas, guitar, accordion and a vocalist. For some years thereafter the nucleus of the band comprised the Galiatsos brothers, for whom music is a part-time activity pursued in parallel with occupations ranging from teaching Greek to community arts work. They are avid collectors of old recordings of every kind of traditional Greek music and Manuel Galiatsos manufactures traditional Greek and middle-eastern stringed instruments, in defiance of the conventional wisdom that Greek music in Melbourne revolves primarily round the cosmopolitan bouzouki and its tourist appeal (3). APODIMI COMPANIA frequently use over a dozen folk instruments to perform their more complex arrangements.
Their first engagements included performances at Greek community functions, student concerts and at the Dan O'Connell Hotel, Carlton. In the mid 80's, the band began appearing at multicultural folk festivals all over Australia (National Folk Festival 1986 Melbourne, 1988 Sydney, 1990 Kuranda; Victorian Folk Festival 1987; Port Fairy Folk Festival 1985, 1988, 1990, 1991); South Australian Folk Festival 1989, Goolwa, Brunswick Music Festival 1989, 1990, 1991). In 1988 members of APODIMI COMPANIA accompanied the Greek-Australian composer Costas Tsikaderis to Greece to participate in the Greek Government sponsored Apodimi Festival, and in 1989 the band moved to a regular Sunday night slot at the Retreat Hotel in Brunswick. They have also appeared on SBS TV (Vox Populi 1990) and ABC Radio (Music Deli).
Out of their contact at festivals with musicians from other traditions arose a particularly close co-operation with Celtic musicians, and the Irish bouzouki player Andy Irvine played on the band's 1989 LP Patris, titled after the ship which brought their parents to Australia (4). This album also featured a diverse selection of Greek folksongs, one rebetiko, and a Balkan instrumental, representing a considerable broadening of their repertoire since their first LP Rebetika of 1997 (re-issued in 1990) (5), and their contributions to the composite albums The Music Of Migration (6) and the Music Deli LP (7). For special occasions the band's repertoire has also expanded to include traditional songs, such as setting to music of the poetry of Ritsos, Hikmet and Livaditis, and compsotions of Loizos and Zarhakos.
The present line-up of APODIMI COMPANIA, George and Manuel Galiatsos, Hector Cosmas and Archie Argyropoulos is shaped by a confluence of multicultural music forces which appears unique, but probably has parallels all over the Greek diaspora, particularl in the USA, where Greek folksongs and Rebetika were first recorded in the same studios as negro Blues in the 1920s, often on similar instruments.

Alexis Sanchez made his first appearance of Manchester United's US tour as they were held by San Jose Earthquakes in Santa Clara.
Sanchez, whose arrival on the tour was delayed by visa problems, was the Red Devils' most vibrant attacker until his second-half substitution.
United defender Eric Bailly hit the bar in the early stages, a feat matched by San Jose's Chris Wondolowski late on.
However, United were again without a number of their World Cup players.
France's Paul Pogba, Belgium's Romelu Lukaku and England duo Jesse Lingard and Marcus Rashford were among those missing although Sanchez, Bailly, Luke Shaw and Anthony Martial all started.
Meanwhile, David de Gea, Nemanja Matic and new Brazilian signing Fred are expected to take part in training over the next few days.
San Jose made 15 substitutions in a largely uneventful game at the Levi Stadium.
The only moment of real concern for United boss Jose Mourinho came during the first half when captain Antonio Valencia limped off injured.
"He's injured and I think we need to get used to it," Mourinho told MUTV. "Last season he was already in this type of situation and this season he will probably have more of that."

Advertising Tips from Fletcher Prince
This year, as you make your marketing plans, I hope you are allocating money for advertising. While advertising may be the most expensive component in the marketing mix, it is often highly effective.
There are two upcoming opportunities to expand your knowledge about advertising opportunities in the DC area. One is the local ADDY awards, which will be presented by the DC Ad Club in mid-March. This is the perfect occasion to scout out the agencies that are producing award-winning work. The other is DC Ad Week, which will occur in mid-September. You have the opportunity to hear from nationally known experts in advertising at DC Ad Week, and learn about the latest trends and best practices.
Of course, David and I hope you will work with us this year. As you consider your advertising options, here are some "Do's and Don'ts" to keep in mind . . .
- Integrate your marketing, public relations, and social media campaigns to complement each other. We can help you plan your integrated campaign.
- Examine where your competitors are advertising, and the frequency.
- Invest in professional graphic design for display advertisements.
- Use cost-effective email marketing. It has the highest ROI on the dollar of all marketing channels, according to the Direct Marketing Association
- Email marketing: $40.56
- Internet, search: $22.24
- Internet, display: $19.72
- Social networking: $12.71
- Mobile: $10.51
- Catalog: $7.30
- General advertising: $5.24
- Use search engine advertising, especially if you have numerous competitors.
- Target workday commuters with drive-time radio spots and Metro bus/rail ads.
- Skimp on advertising! This is the most common mistake we observe.
- Assume Twitter and Facebook updates can replace the results of paid advertising.
- Run small, lower-price ads in many outlets. Larger ads get noticed.

What is BMI?
When you talk about weight loss surgery and obesity, you'll often hear the term BMI. Also known as body mass index, your BMI is a measurement of your weight in relation to your height. It provides you and your doctors with key information about your general health, and can serve as an indication that you may benefit from bariatric surgery.

Cape Town - Wallabies utility back Christian Lealiifano and lock Sam Carter have been named as co-captains of the Brumbies for the 2017 season.
The duo will lead the Brumbies into the 2017 Super Rugby campaign with Carter performing on-field duties whilst Lealiifano continues his recovery from the bone-marrow transplant undertaken late last year.
Carter, capped 13 times by the Wallabies alongside 79 Super Rugby appearances for the Brumbies, led the team in the 59-0 trial win over the Australian Barbarians last weekend and is relishing the opportunity of a leadership role.
"It's a huge honour for me, I'm really excited about the season ahead," he told the Brumbies' official website.
"He (Stephen Larkham) told me a couple of weeks ago and it was a little bit of a shock but it was also something I wanted, I was confident that I could fulfil the role.
"We've got huge leaders in the team, we've got blokes with massive experience and that can only help moving forward. The boys in the team really look up to them and that makes my job easier."
A product of rugby nursery The Scots College in Sydney, Carter has been a force at lock for the Brumbies since making his debut in 2011. Never one to take a step back, the 2m tall workhorse was included in the Wallabies 2015 World Cup squad despite suffering a knee injury prior to the tournament.
Carter's determination to return from injury is just one of the many reasons he is now regarded as the premier-tight-head lock in Australian Rugby.
Lealiifano's presence around the squad will no doubt be a huge tonic for the group as head coach Stephen Larkham confirmed after announcing the co-captaincy during the formal Season Launch proceedings.
"You can see a noticeable lift when Christian is around," said Larkham.
"He's a motivator and he's got immense respect from the players.
"I'm optimistic about a possible return for Christian and, whilst playing this season is unlikely, we hope he will be in a position to train with the squad later in the year."
The Brumbies continue their pre-season preparations this weekend when they travel to Mudgee to take on the Waratahs in a trial match at Glen Willow Regional Sports Stadium.

Thank you, anon. Unfortunately the vast majority of the people that follow this blog are women, and although I am grateful for every follower that reads my mindgasms, it would be nice to see more men following and reading my stuff, if only for them reading the comments and seeing how women respond to different concepts I write about.
Understanding what drives women and their sexuality is something I am very fortunate to get the opportunity to discover more about through this means. A lot of guys could and would gain insight and a similar perspective as myself if they'd just read the comments from the women and see how so many women feel inside on a topic.
Anyways. I am rambling now. Thanks for the compliment.

Why you shouldn't give money to beggars in Sharjah
Sharjah Police say people fake diseases to exploit charitable sentiments during Ramadan
Sharjah: Efforts to combat begging are being stepped up in Sharjah.
Sharjah Police have launched anti-begging campaigns via various programmes, including distributing booklets in both Arabic and English.
Most beggars exploit people's religious and charitable sentiments to make easy money, police warn. If you are approached by beggars you can call Sharjah Police and a police patrol will be dispatched to your location.
Police advise people to report any cases of begging immediately because not only do beggars bother people and distort the country's image, many of them are also involved in illegal activities.
The police said beggars use various methods to extract money from people.
"Some beggars pretend they are handicapped, have a life-threatening disease, are unable to provide for their families or need money for an urgent medical surgery," a police official said.
In other cases beggars provide fake documents about a fund-raising campaign to build a mosque or a school for orphans in their home country.
Based on studies of past cases, Sharjah Police found that dangerous and organised gangs bring beggars to the country.
"We have realised that groups and individual beggars were issued visas. Our focus is not only on combating street begging but those who assist these individuals.
"Street begging occurs everywhere and in Sharjah we take the matter seriously as it ruins the reputation of the country and it affects the security of the place. The presence of beggars in mosques and shopping malls or any other public area is not a pleasant image for the country," the official said.
"We have arrested many beggars who were not only disturbing the public with their illegal activities but were involved in robberies, crime and prostitution."
Police urge the public not to fall for scams by these individuals and to contact the police when they find a street beggar.
The official added beggars are dangerous and can injure people and steal from them in residential areas. They stand the whole day in front of residential buildings, watching and gathering information about residents. Police cameras monitor beggars without their knowledge and show the footage to the public to illustrate how beggars operate.
A police camera shot beggars who spent their day begging and at night either slept in a luxury hotel using the money earned from begging, rented a luxury car or bought expensive clothes. Police have found many beggars to be in possession of thousands of dirhams, and some enter the country on a visa solely for the purpose of begging.
Police have urged the public to approach charitable organisations directly so they can forward their donations to people who are really in need.

Alex Barrett: Preparing for a Himalayan Adventure to Support The National Autistic Society
So just how and why would you climb a 20.305ft snow and ice covered peak in the Himalayas?!
It was a typical wet and windy Lake District day when I was sat in my office thinking about how I was going to try and educate people about Autism. I'm lucky enough to be the father of two amazing daughters, the youngest of which has high functioning Autism.
For those of you that don't know, Autism is a lifelong developmental disability that affects how a person communicates with and relates to other people. It also affects how they make sense of the world around them. People with the condition can also have difficulties with understanding speech and the rules of social interaction. They can also sometimes struggle to understand and deal with their own emotions.
The National Autistic Society help provide information, support and services for families affected by autism. They campaign tirelessly for a better world for autistic people.
As an Autism parent, I'm often presented with a lot of opportunities to be amazed and often humbled by my daughter's determination and unique angle on life. She faces a constant battle just to get through each day, every time she overcomes one of those challenges, it's a time for me to be filled with admiration & joy.
It seemed to me that If she could face those daily challenges then I should face a challenge as well. I wanted to support the charity that was close to my heart and at the same time achieve something truly unique to help educate people about Autism.
I felt I needed to shout my message of Autism acceptance from the top of the world or at least as close to the top as I could get. It was then that I hit upon the idea. I would go to Nepal and climb in the Himalayas on behalf of my two daughters and The National Autistic Society.
What experience do I have in the outdoors?
I'm already very comfortable in the outdoors, I grew up in the lake district one of the most beautiful national parks anywhere in the world. Over the years I've been a hill walker, scrambler, caver and over the last ten years a scuba diver. A sport which I hope will hold me in good stead for the mountaineering challenge to come.
Scuba Diving and Mountaineering share fundamental similarities, they are both dependent on logical and pre-planned thinking to achieve a goal. If you don't make the right decision calmly and efficiently, there will often be no second chance and you can very quickly find yourself in a very serious life-threatening situation. Both sports are dependent on the individual's reaction to atmospheric pressure, just at two opposite ends of the scale. It seemed to me that the attributes required for succeeding in both sports were well balanced. In both sports you need to be precise & level-headed should the situation suddenly deteriorate.
- They both involve managing environmental risk through trained use of skills, and equipment.
- They are both fundamentally easy activities, but they require lots of training to avoid killing oneself.
- They both have an exploratory element. Scuba diving and mountaineering are all about accessing terrain that most people will never see or experience.
I have always wanted to climb and now presented with this perfect opportunity, it seemed like as good a time as any to start.
How did it all start and who else inspired me to take on this amazing opportunity?
The first thing I decided to do was contact my friend Shankar in Kathmandu, he runs his own trekking agency and I knew he would be more than up for an adventure. I explained my idea and after much discussion, it was he who suggested we climb Imja Tse.
Imja Tse is better known as Island Peak, it's a 20,305ft snow-covered mountain in Sagarmatha National Park of the Himalayas in eastern Nepal. The peak was first named Island Peak in 1951 by Eric Shipton's party since it appears as a towering island in a sea of ice.Imja Tse was first summited in 1953 as part of a training exercise by the 9th British Everest attempt, an expedition that would later go on to conquer Mount Everest.
That famous expedition included Charles Evans, Alf Gregory, Edmund Hillary, Charles Wylie and Tenzing Norgay, accompanied by seven Sherpas.Charles Whylie on the first ascent of Island Peak.

It was Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary that would later go on that year to make the first successful summit attempt of Mount Everest. While Mount Everest is a mere six miles away to the north, our view from the summit would be blocked by the massive wall of Lhotse, ranked 4th highest in the world. Lhotse will tower an additional 2,300 m (7,500 ft) above our summit.
How are we organising the trek and what route did we decide on?
Shankar explained to me this wasn't for the faint-hearted, it was going to be a technical climb and it was most likely going to hurt. Apart from scrambling, I don't have much mountaineering experience. I knew to achieve a successful summit this was going to be harder than anything else I had ever done before, but ultimately one of the greatest achievements of my life. We would, after all, be following in the footsteps of legends. So, after many emails and much deliberation It was finally agreed, we would climb Island Peak, the 1953 training peak for the first successful Mount Everest summit.
I started to research our summit route. Island Peak, is listed as an alpine pd+ grade climb. We would need to climb in the alpine style, setting off from the base or high camp with a backpack, summiting with a set of fixed ropes and back to camp all in one day.I was beginning to have the realisation this is not an adventure you can do without the correct support. Shankar told me he had two friends who were also climbing island peak at the beginning of April and suggested we should join forces.
We needed to become a well prepared & organised team, at the bare minimum we needed one porter for every two climbers and one climbing sherpa to every two people climbing. Suddenly two had become eight and we had a mammoth task ahead of us.I spent the next few weeks going over countless maps and YouTube videos of the route and what obstacles lay in our path. It was going to take two weeks of trekking and acclimatisation just to get to the Imia glacier. We would need to pass Everest base camp and venture further into the east of the region.
Once we arrive at Island Peak, we have the option of starting the summit attempt from base camp at (16,690ft) and starting the climb between 2 and 3 am. Our other option is to ascend to High Camp at around (18,400ft) to reduce the amount of effort and time needed for summit day. However, adequate water supply and concerns about sleeping at a higher altitude may dictate starting from base camp. Basecamp to high camp is basically a long hike, but just above high camp, there are some rocky steps which require moderate scrambling through a broad open gully.
At the top of the couloir, we must traverse the stunning ImiaGlacier. There are a number of substantial crevasses along the glacier which will need to be crossed by fixed ladders. These are a genuine cause for concern and have sometimes caused previous teams to turn back.We must then proceed to the top of the glacier to the headwall, a 60-degree ice and snow-covered slope. From here, fixed ropes will be set for the strenuous ascent of 100m (330 ft) to the beginning of the summit ridgeline. The climb to the summit is difficult due to the steep gradient and 250m traverse along a 1m wide ridgeline to the peak which has a 6ft x 4ft summit area.
Who is supporting my expedition?
I was under no doubt to achieve the summit and raise awareness I was going to need help. I needed corporate sponsorship for equipment and I needed some serious winter skills training in order to safely complete the challenge I had set myself.
I contacted many of the leading industry organisations asking for sponsorship support with this project, most didn't reply and those that did gave me a whole plethora of reasons why they didn't feel it was suitable for their business. After probably my 50th rejection email I decided to try a different approach.
I wrote a letter to the world's greatest living explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes and explained to him my expedition idea. I took a chance and asked him if he would be the patron of my expedition and he graciously agreed. Re-energised by this amazing development I set about designing a new and detailed expedition proposal to send out to the equipment manufactures.I decided I wanted this expedition to benefit the people of Nepal as well as support Autism awareness. From the research I had done on our route to Island peak, I knew we would be passing Pengbouche Primary School which had been set up by Edmund Hillary during the 1953 Everest expedition. Shankar had told me that schools in the mountain areas desperately needed pencils. I knew we could help, so I approached Derwent a local lake district manufacturer with a separate proposal asking them to donate pencils to the expedition. I'm pleased to say they agreed to support the school and have kindly donated hundreds of high-quality pencils.
I then approached a number of UK businesses asking if they could donate the much-needed winter skills course. Most did not reply and some of those that did were a little unhelpful.
One reply even said, "This event will not attract any attention" and that I would get more exposure getting an autistic person to climb the mountain. The person replying clearly had no previous experience with autism. People with autism often live in the moment, they can sometimes be impulsive and often have no sense of danger, although not impossible, it would take more people and more resources than I had available to ensure an autistic climber's safety. I'm more than used to people judging and being ill-informed about the disorder. It just makes me even more inspired to change people's opinions about autism.
Feeling disheartened, but not defeated I decided to try one last time. After a long search, I came across the website of "Unexplored Scotland". I very much liked what I saw, so I sent in my proposal.They immediately wrote back to me and said they would be delighted to help support such a worthy cause with a donation of winter skills training.
A few days later I received the fantastic news that Vango, Goal Zero and Lifesystems had also kindly offered their support to the expedition. I had been humbled yet again, these businesses and kind individuals had just restored my faith in humanity, and I began thinking for the first time we just might be able to pull this off.
So now I train every day, walking my dogs in the hills and taking photos along the way. All the time looking forward to my winter skills training in the Cairngorms and ultimately my big adventure in the Himalayas.

Jane Lake and Ridiculousness!
Have you ever taken note of being in a crowd of people and everyone is silent and then a loud bodily noise is involuntarily emitted by the least likely of people? It inevitably is laughed at by all including the embarrassed perpetrator.
Or have you been in a classroom and the inattentive student is asked a question by the teacher and the response is as ridiculous as you could imagine?
These are the moments that I treasure, for the special times when ridiculousness rules is when everyone forgets their problems, concerns, and seriousness that sometimes overwhelms ones life.
Part of what makes blogging fun is the ridiculousness of some of the comments where they complete miss the point or twist your comment to create a platform for their own dissertation.
Let's try to all be a little more ridiculous. I think it can only help!

Ex-etiquette: Can there be a 'just us' holiday time?
Published in Family Living
Q: I've been reading your column for some time. It seems you have been there and always point out things I don't see, so I thought I would ask about my situation. I live around the corner from my husband's ex. They co-parented their two kids -- a week with each parent -- before I got here and following your advice, I just got with the program. I haven't interfered and have been accepted as part of the club. BUT, now that we have added a little one to the family there are sometimes I wish we could do things "just us" and it seems like the kids' mom is always included. Take Halloween. Normally, we would all trick-or-treat together, but now that the baby is joining us, can't we just once have a private family holiday?
A: Excellent question. The answer is yes and no. It all depends on what you consider to be "your family." Is it you, dad, your baby and every other week, his kids or you, dad, three children and on occasion, their mother? I found the second choice to be my reality.
Some rarely share holidays after a break-up and stick to the "your Christmas, my Thanksgiving," point of view. But, because precedent was already set prior to your entering the mix and your husband and his ex have always celebrated together, your concept of family might have to be adjusted -- and with that, how you celebrate family holidays. Not all holidays, but some.
You may be thinking, "Ah, but Halloween is a perfect holiday for it to be "just us." It's even left off the holiday parenting plan in a court order sometimes. I've often heard parents say, "Let it fall where it falls," meaning whoever has the kids on that day can sponsor Halloween -- but it also means the other parent will probably show up at some time during the evening.
Here's where considering the Ten Rules of Good Ex-etiquette comes into play. Rule No. 1, "Put the children first." Go back in your memory banks as a kid. Where did you rank Halloween in terms of importance? Most kids rank it right up there with Christmas. What other holiday can you dress up anyway you like and go door to door for free treats? Plus, think how excited most parents get about those costume pics. So, even though you might think Halloween is a "secondary" holiday, it's really not for most families.
You can establish a "family" precedent, however. Start a tradition in which only you, your husband and the kids patriciate in an aspect of the holiday. It doesn't have to be on Halloween, but Halloween related. For example, "Family Pumpkin Carving Night" or "Halloween Cookie Night." Try it out on the weekend prior to Halloween. Don't be surprised if the kids want to invite their mom. If that works, then invite her, but if you want to establish it as your night, just say something like, "Your mom is going to join us for Trick-or-Treating." Stay away from things like, "Your mom doesn't have to be included for everything. This is just for us." Even though you might feel like that, it will hurt the kids' feelings -- and they will remember it. Remember, precedent was set before you got there, so you have to work within those parameters. That's good ex-etiquette. J

The court decides alimony on a case-by-case basis. Some Michigan divorces may include spousal support, or alimony, either agreed to by each spouse or awarded by the court. If the court enters a judgment concerning the amount of alimony and the amount is still insufficient to the awarded spouse, the court may then grant either real or personal property to the spouse in addition to the previous judgment amount.

Red Nation, this year's Rockets team is different than last year's Rockets team; they never give up. Throughout this past week you saw the Rockets fight through some major opponent runs while showcasing a significantly improved collective effort on both ends of the floor. The Rockets have gone through the same type of rough patches as last year, but how they respond to these rough patches is the major difference. They never settle for struggling, a theme that was oh-so common in their 2015-16 campaign. No matter what, James Harden and the Houston Rockets are now a constant handful. Just ask Gregg Popovich and Scott Brooks!
Monday night's match-up against the Washington Wizards was surely not boring. John Wall gave the Rockets fits (as usual), the defense was sporadic, and there was sloppiness everywhere. James Harden had a very rough start to the game, committing 6 turnovers in just the first quarter. But the more the game played out, the more it looked like they were picking it up. Clint Capela (NOT Nene) led the defense through an amazing stretch in the 2nd quarter, sparking what came to be a 16-0 run and gave the Rockets a sizable nine point lead to end the half.
You'd think the Rockets would pull away completely from this inconsistent Wizards team, but that wasn't the case. The offense went on its usual cold-spell to start the second half, allowing Washington to ultimately take the lead. But short after, James Harden and Ryan Anderson caught fire. The Rockets built up a lead that would never be given back, even with that ridiculous sequence of turnovers in the final minute that gave several fans flashbacks of Tracy McGrady's 13 points in 33 seconds comeback win versus San Antonio, but from the perspective of Spurs fans. It was a signature roller coaster game (25 lead changes) with the Rockets coming out on top, 114-106.
Speaking of the Spurs, the Rockets traveled to the AT&T Center for the front end of their 2 game series against San Antonio. The Rockets pretty much took this one by the horns to start off. James Harden pick and rolls were the story of the first quarter despite the Rockets' inability to stop Kawhi Leonard (10 first quarter points). Surprisingly, the bench did not let up as Sam Dekker went on a little 7 point run of his own. The Spurs' second-unit responded with a 8-0 run, but that lead was soon taken back with a buzzer beating three to end the half by none other than Sam Dekker, giving him 10 points at the half.
The third quarter was an ugly sight as there were imaginary lids on both baskets. The fourth quarter, however, was a different story as James Harden and Kawhi Leonard took over for their respective teams in a well-played back and forth battle. The last play consisted of a Kawhi Leonard missed last second layup attempt followed by a LaMarcus Aldridge missed last millisecond tip-in attempt that would have sent the game into overtime.
How's that for nerve-wrecking?
The Rockets happily came out on top, 101-99. It's worth noting that in the midst of all this, James Harden ended the game with a triple double. He's great, isn't he?
On Saturday, the Rockets finally returned home after going 3-2 on their long, exhausting 5-game road trip. And with that, the Spurs were granted an immediate shot at revenge stemming from their Wednesday night heartbreaking loss. The NBA schedule makers were inadvertently cruel with this one. Considering the fact that the Rockets were coming off of three days of rest, you'd expect them to attack this Spurs team (who were on the back end of a back to back) with fresh legs and a clear mind.
That was not the case here.
The Spurs were the ones looking fresh as they constantly exploited Houston's non-existent rim protection. 15+ point leads were built and things looked bad. Then after a first half cold streak, Eric Gordon caught fire. The man was simply unconscious from downtown, splashing in 7 threes to go along with 27 points. After looking dead, he instilled new life in the Rockets as they cut the lead to just 4 in the final minutes of the game. Unfortunately, the Spurs weren't having it. They shut the amazing comeback campaign all the way down, as they went on to win it, 106-100.
Overall, the Rockets displayed their newfound resilience as they continued to battle until the final buzzer. That in itself is another thing to get excited about with this locked and loaded Rockets team.
Player of the Week: James Harden
How do you not give the Player of the Week title to James Harden?
The man had back-to-back triple doubles against the San Antonio Spurs, a feat that only Hall of Famer Magic Johnson has under his belt. And on the one game he didn't have a triple double, he had 32 points and 15 assists. He has 5 games with 15+ assists this year and there has only been 9 such games league-wide. James has been simply unstoppable. Although he displayed some sloppiness to start off games, he consistently picked up the pieces and got it going. He once again established his comforting reliability, and that alone earned him his second Red Nation Hoops' Player of the Week title.
Now, as we await tonight's matchup against Joel Embiid (a.k.a. The Process, a.k.a. Hakeem Olajuwon Jr.) and the 76ers, here are some great articles that'll expand key thoughts and points from this week.

Boy's Soccer Whip the La Vernia Bears, 7-3
The Boy's Soccer team put a whippen on La Vernia, 7-3 as the Hawks got offensive in this blow out.
Those 7 goals has this year's team with 31 for the year and now needs just 4 more to pass last year's total and have the most in their history.
There was a two year drought during the '13-'14 seasons when those two campaigns could only muster 10 total goals combined.
Grayson Rohrbacher scored 4 goals and James Alexander, Matthew Bell, and Jordan Sczech rounded out the scoring.
Sczech was busy giving out assists as he was involved in 5 of the 7 goals on this night. Nash Young also had an assist to round out the Hawk scoring.
Canyon Lake ran out to a 4-1 halftime lead and kept at arms length as the Bears got within 3 goals again in the second half, 6-3.
Brayden Damico had 4 saves on 7 shots as CL was able to have Justin Naranjo enter the game and he made 1 save on 1 shot on goal.
The Hawks were 6-4 after their first 10 games last year and this CL team needs just 2 more wins to have the most victories during their season.
Canyon Lake will be on the road for their next two contests as they will have two repeat games with Floresville and La Vernia before their next home game when San Marcos Baptist visits the Hawk Nest on February 3rd.
A lot of firsts are possible as CL looks to play them one game at a time!!
Go Hawks!!

This one probably won't last, and buying airfare just to get "free" food won't make sense for most people. However, it looks like you can currently take advantage of a spectacular deal on all-inclusive Lifestyle Tropical Beach Resort & Spa It's valid through December, but not all dates return the lowest pricing.
I checked Thanksgiving week on Travelocity, and it shows up as bookable:
Be aware, once you put in two children, the rate goes up to $173 per night, at least it did for me. So, you will be better off booking two rooms. As you can see, there is free cancellation, so you are not risking anything. You may want to wait a bit before booking non-refundable airfare, in case Travelocity decides not to honor the price. Let me know if you decide to book it.

Jupsat Pro Astronomy Software
Probably the best-known story about Indian (actually Tamil21) astronomy is that told by Warren (1825), recounted in Neugebauer (1952; 1983a, p. 435) about a "kalendar maker" in Pondicherry, who demonstrated to Warren a technique to predict a lunar eclipse by means of memorized tables and the movement of shells on the ground. Neugebauer cites this as an example of a continuous tradition stemming from the 6th century (with Varahamihira) in India, back through the 3rd-century Roman empire, and ultimately to Seleucid era cuneiform tablets, no later than the 2nd century b.c. Apparently, the key to the tables lay in word association, because Warren writes about "certain artificial words and syllables" being used, and "... he did not understand a word of the theories of Hindu astronomy, but was endowed with a retentive memory, which enabled him to arrange very distinctly his operations in his mind, and on the ground." The demonstration consisted of the computation of the circumstances of the eclipse of 1825, from May 31 to June 1, with a surprising degree of accuracy: Differences from the actual moments of beginning, middle, and end of the eclipse were +4m, -23m, and -52m, respectively. The predictability of the recurrence of eclipses in this way implies a
19 Note the curious inverse relation between the date of the work and the dating of the Mahabharata. For a different view, the Tibetans held that Nyatri Tsepo, defeated in the Mahabharata war, fled to Tibet and became the first king there about 127 b.c. (Bryant 1992, p. 78).
20 The closest relevant eclipse from Oppolzer is 19 Aug. 1157 b.c. at JDN 1299060. Stephenson and Houlden (1986) show a partial eclipse track through SE Asia (eastward from southeastern Burma) for 12 Feb. 1156 b.c. (JDN 1299237).

knowledge of the motions of the Moon—synodic, nodal, and perhaps anomalistic—which we discussed in §2.3.4 and §2.3.5. Neugebauer documents the connections from Babylonia to India, citing (1983a, p. 435) masses of lunar and planetary theory in the Panca Siddhantika, with close parallels in Babylonian texts from the Hellenistic period. Thus, the bases are ultimately observational, but how could such material be conveniently coded to permit a rote-learned technique to predict a lunar eclipse? Both Warren and Neugebauer attempt an explanation of the particular method used by the Tamil informant.
The use of the shells was illustrated by Warren as follows. The number 248 was given the simple representation whereas the sum of five zodiacal signs (of 30° each) and 29°58'13" was denoted by

Don Quixote Once upon a time, in a village called La Mancha, in Spain, there lived a man who loved to read about knights. Everyday he would read about courageous knights and the incredible adventures they had. He was so absorbed in these stories that he hardly remembered to eat or sleep. Years passed, but he kept reading and reading He grew older and grew a long white beard. Having spent his entire life immersed in tales of knights and their daring deeds, that he began to believe that he was a knight too. He called himself Don Quixote and decided to seek his destiny. From this moment forth, I shall be called Don Quixote and I shall be a noble knight and the protector of justice in the realm. Going into his shed, Don Quixote constructed a suit of armour out of scrap metal. Hiya! Make way for Don Quixote, the knight of justice! Don Quixote named his old donkey Rocinante and went on an adventure, just like the knights he read about in his books. Onwards, Rocinante, my noble steed! Neigh. On his journey in search of adventure, Don Quixote came across a farmer working in a field. It was actually his neighbor, a man called Sancho. Sancho, how would you like to become my servant, and accompany me on a great adventure? Your servant? Yes, if you serve me faithfully and honestly, I will reward you with an island. An island? Are you serious? I vow it upon my honor as a knight! So, will you come with me? Sancho agreed to serve Don Quixote and the two men set out on a journey together. On the hill in front of them, they could see a large old windmill. When he saw it, Don Quixote's eyes began to sparkle. Look Sancho, how dare that hideous ogre block our path? What!? An ogre? Where, Master? Right there! Don't you see that awful creature waving its four arms? But Master¦that's a windmill. Hearing this, Don Quixote turned to Sancho with a concerned look. Ah, poor Sancho, I see how it is. That ogre has cast a spell on you to deceive your senses and make you believe. He is a windmill. But Never fear! I, Don Quixote shall vanquish this demon and release you from his evil enchantment! You vile monster! Beware my wrath! Rocinante, charge! and Don Quixote galloped at the windmill. Master, that's a windmill! Unfortunately Sancho's shouts and warnings passed unheard. Don Quixote and Rocinante charged the windmill at full speed. Huh? Prepare to face my spear, Ogre! With that, Don Quixote flew towards the windmill and collided with it. Master, are you alright? See? I told you it was just a windmill. Look Sancho! The ogre is more seriously wounded than I am! In fact, he windmill was working perfectly fine. Sancho did his best to dissuade Don Quixote from attempting anything else reckless. Ha ha ha. Oh, you are absolutely right. You are a great knight indeed, and you have defeated the fearsome windmill beast! After hitting his head on the windmill, Don Quixote became even more disoriented. He became convinced that one day someone would write tales of his adventures. Listen to me, Sancho, someday people will write of our great exploits. Our names will live on in the memories of generations to come. But we must prove worthy of that honor by vanquishing villains and upholding justice. Do you understand? Yes, Master. As Don Quixote and Sancho passed a farm, they saw a flock of sheep in a field. As Don Quixote looked, he had another vision¦ Look Sancho! The forces of evil have emerged once again! This time, it's an entire army! I need you to watch over Rocinante while I vanquish these demons. Now, face my spear, miserable spirits! Mistaking the sheep for monsters, Don Quixote attacked them. The sheep squealed and scurried away. Ha ha ha! Did you see those cowards run. They are right to fear Don Quixote! The local peasants all thought Don Quixote was crazy. They laughed and taunted as he passed. Look, it's Don Quixote, the madman! Hey, Sir Knight, what kind of beast did you defeat this time? Did you finally get those evil sheep? Ha ha ha! All hail the mad knight, Don Quixote. Ha ha ha! Don Quixote did not understand, and thought the people were cheering for him. Sancho, look! See how the people welcome us! They must have heard of our great deeds! Oh, no. Master, listen very carefully, they are not welcoming us, they are mocking you. Sancho, Sancho, when will you see the truth? Enough is enough. Please Master. Very well, we shall speak no more of this today. Don Quixote continued to believe himself a knight and to battle the forces of evil until the end of his days And he was right -to this day, we still remember his name and will tell tales of his great exploits for generations to come.
