A titillating casting announcement out of the Fifty Shades of Hooooorny franchise: Kim Basinger has been cast as Elena Lincoln—the older woman who "seduced" (read: statutory raped) Christian Grey when he was 15 and introduced him to BDSM—in Fifty Shades Darker. Cool, cool, cool.
Entertainment Weekly reports:
Lincoln is a business partner and former lover of the alluring and secretive Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan). Introduced in the second book in E.L. James' best-selling series, Lincoln sets herself up to be an antagonist for Ana Steele (Dakota Johnson).
Yep. It all sounds very healthy.
The second and third installments of the Fifty Shades of Grey series will be directed by James Foley. Sam Taylor-Johnson, who directed the first film, announced that she was splitting from the franchise last March. (She and Fifty Shades of Grey writer E.L. James did not get along during production.) James' husband, Niall Leonard, has been brought on to pen the Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed screenplays. Looks like women's fantasies are finally back where they belong—in the hands of men.
Perhaps the typically luminous Basinger can breathe a little life into this trussed up turd of a franchise, but don't hold breath. Unless you get off on that kind of thing.

This cat still purrs
|Raven Theatre presents
|Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
|Written by Tennessee Williams
Directed by Michael Menendian
at Raven Theatre, 6157 N. Clark (map)
through December 19 | tickets: $30 | more info
Reviewed by Barry Eitel
Chicago has always had a love affair with Tennessee Williams. This city is where the playwright first found success in 1944 with A Glass Menagerie. The man went on to win a shelf full of Tonys and Pulitzers, but he always had a captive audience in Chicago. Even almost thirty years after death, each theatre season sees a smattering of Tennessee. What makes this more remarkable is that all his best known plays are set in humid locales far removed from the evils of Lake Michigan winters (Glass may be set in the St. Louis, but that's basically the Midwest's Florida!).
Set in the steamy Mississippi Delta, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof—which earned him his second Pulitzer Prize—covers all the topics that keep Williams relevant. The lengthy play drips in sex, lays bare the dispossession of the nouveau riche in the 20th Century, and cranks out family dysfunction better than a late night talk show. Under the smart directing hand of Michael Menendian, Raven Theatre's production puts forth a clean production of the canonical text. The superbly talented cast makes the show sing.
An interesting subtlety Menendian caresses out of the script is a change of focus from Maggie (the titular cat) to the touchy relationship between Big Daddy and his alcoholic son, Brick. Sexy, desperate, and, well, catty, it is easy for productions to ride on Maggie's struggle for survival in a world of plantations and debutants. And the play's discussion of loveless marriages and repressed homosexuality, refreshingly frank for 1955, often supersede the more classical themes of death and inheritance. Not here. This Cat is not built around Brick's and Maggie's wrecked relationship – it's about Big Daddy's blind desire to leave his dynasty to the worst candidate for the job, and the resulting consequences.
The show's paradigm shift is in no way a slight against Liz Fletcher, who portrays Maggie with class and vibrancy. She makes it clear that this cat came from poverty; Fletcher keeps the claws bared. By the final moments, we know she will do anything she has to in order to secure her future. An aloof Jason Huysman brings a healthy dose of humor to his Brick. His main goal is to drink as much as he can until he hears that "click" that will bring peace into his life, and nothing will stop him in his quest (which sounds more depressing than funny, but leads to quite a few laughs). As Brick's Big Mama, JoAnn Montemurro does great work, keeping the audience tied in to her alternating spats between subservient housewife to head of the family. The breakout performance in the production, though, belongs to Jon Steinhagen as Big Daddy. Steinhagen wraps the character in layers. He's cranky, lecherous, vicious, yet oddly understanding of Brick's abnormal (for the time) relationship with his dead friend. In some respects, Steinhagen's Big Daddy seems more in tune with Brick's sexuality than Brick.
The cast keeps the pace breezy and slow, which works in their favor. It has the effect of dousing any sexual fire between Maggie and Brick, but perhaps there shouldn't really be much there, anyway. There are a handful of overcooked moments that could've been sheared off; when Brick enters shirtless and Fletcher gives him a long, silent stare is one example. Katherine Chavez's guitar-heavy scoring is also unnecessary. It creates artificial melodrama. Raven should leave it to the actors to create the mood.
Either way, this is a rock solid production of a classic American play, which may be its biggest fault (and my problem with Raven in general). There are moments where it feels like a museum piece. Unlike David Cromer's explosive Streetcar Named Desire (our review) last season, this Cat lacks revelation. I'm not asking for crazy concepts or heavy doses of deconstruction, but, existentially, this production needs a shot in the arm.

1. Unlimited power? What does that mean? Can that possibly mean you can do whatever your heart desire? That's impossible. Not even multimillionaires and billionaires get everything they want. Bernard, you cannot have it all. It's not worth pursuing everything anyway. You must decide what you really want. Pursue what's relevant to you. What's important to you. You don't even need many things in life to be happy. You just need what's essential that makes happiness a reality. Acquiring stuff will not satisfy you in the long run. It can make you anticipate the novelty of acquiring new things. But the excitement wears off after a couple of days. You'll get excited. You might even be sleepless prior to getting your hands on the object of your desire that makes you an insomniac. After this, you'll find new ways to get your restless soul preoccupied with unimportant things again. If time and experience teaches you one thing, it is that you will never tire of this never-ending cycle of meaninglessness. You're trying to find meaning in things that, when you really analyze, is disappointingly empty. Every additional useless possession is like opening a gift which is temptingly attractive, but once opened is reeked with shallowness. How come you keep on doing this to yourself even though you know you are actually sabotaging yourself? Why? The best things in life are not things. They are experiences. Experience it. Then write it down. So other people might see a glimpse of it.
2. I just got home from Shangri-La Plaza. I was able to purchase the Sheaffer 100. Mine is with a glossy black barrel, with a brushed chrome cap featuring a nickel plate trim. The ink I chose is blue, using the Slim Roller Ball II refill, with a medium point grade. This is an amazing pen. Writing is more pleasurable than my Stabilo [email protected] I already love it! The pen itself is made in USA, and the Roller Ball Refill II is made in Germany. Just like my Stabilo. But better. The difference between the two pen's point grade for my eye is negligible. My Stabilo's point grade is fine; my Sheaffer's point grade is medium. But I cannot tell the difference at all. When I compare a medium point grade Stabilo [email protected] with a fine point grade Stabilo [email protected], I can tell the difference. Maybe the point grade system of these two companies are not the same. Because Sheaffer's medium is like Stabilo's fine already.
My only problem now with the ink for the Sheaffer is that not all National Book Stores have this type of ink. If I need to purchase one, I need to go to malls like Shangri-La Plaza, TriNoma, SM City North EDSA, or SM Megamall. I tried the National Book Store at SM City Taytay and Sta. Lucia East Grand Mall, but they don't have it. My only concern for now that I noticed immediately, while I am writing this paragraph, is that I need to tighten the body of the pen after writing a couple of sentences. Not really a problem. I don't want to tighten it too much for fear of destroying the thread that holds the chrome grip to the glossy black barrel. Also, since this is a roller ball refill, it is using a cap to cover the upper portion of the pen. The push-action or twist-action is only applicable to ballpoint refills.
I noticed that most customers I was with when I was at National Book Store at Shangri-La Plaza were speaking in English. And there were many beautiful women as well. My take off was around 3:30 p.m. I got home around 6:30 p.m. The traffic to and from Shangri-La Plaza was heavy. That's why.
3. No new music at Magic 89.9 on Saturdays. Good.
4. "What wave are you from?" Wave 89.1.
5. Earlier, when I was at National Book Store at Robinsons Cainta, there was this beautiful girl. 9/10. Her height was around 5'6″ or 5'7″. Her legs were flawless. She was wearing short shorts. Beautiful hair, beautiful skin, and beautiful face. I wanted to fuck her. I wanted to lick her breasts. I wanted to eat her pussy. I wanted to ejaculate my semen inside her hot and tight vagina. Her age is between 18 to 23. Very hot. I wanted to bury my head between her flawless thighs, while eating her sweet pussy until I make her soaking wet.

It is so entertaining to read the descriptions by earlier generations of women's fashions.
I am writing this post simply because my attention was caught one day by the look of a worker's smock on a U.K. history website. (See first photo below.)
Source: http://www.reading.ac.uk/merl/the_collections/the_museum/smocks.html
The above photo of a farmer in a "smock" reminded me very much of a photo in our family archives. I immediately went digging and wa-la.....my grandmother in a very similar frock in 1921 shortly after my mother was born, only her smock is belted.
(Left, my grandparents Crystal [nee Pauley] Peebles and Robert Peebles with my mother Elizabeth (Betty) Peebles, almost spring 1921, Miami, WVA.)
Below is one image I found that very much resembles my grandmother's dress.

Here is the American version of the British gentleman's smocked outfit I started with.
Above is amid-19th century smock from the Sturbridge Village collection.
Source: http://www.lexingtonminutemen.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=section&layout=blog&id=12&Itemid=68
Then I got curious about the style and googled around until I stumbled across the article below. The transcription follows the photo of the article.
So, do you think the "designer" of the dress my grandmother has on was inspired by the farmer's garment? Truth be told, howver, her dress is, unfortunately, not smocked.
Of Interest to Women
By MAROARRT MASON
(written for the United Press)
Dame Fashion knits a soldier's stocking:
With the yarn that's left she does her
Now don't you think this very shocking?
NEW YORK. July 15, 1916.
Perhaps along Ellis Parker Butler's line of reasoning that "Pigs is Pigs," you think that "smocks is smocks." But you are wrong. Smocks is no longer smocks. They are shocks. There is a new hybrid race, flock or swarm of them in a tiny little box of a shop on Fifth avenue. It offers hats, too, but the smocks are the real curios.
They are not any of them what you would expect a well regulated smock to be. Each one is rather the embodiment of a wild flight of fancy, to put it mildly.
They start out all right and proper in linen, pongee, crepe or cretonne but then comes the funny business. Some of them are appliquéd in a mad hit or miss riot of gay, colored linen disks outline-stitched with yarn. Others are patched in crazy quilt fashion and feather stitched with yarn. Always there is yarn, yarn, yarn in some of every color, stitch or fashion.
Some of the more decorous smocks have cut out patterns of the cretonne, baskets of flowers, birds or beasts appliqued at intervals around the skirt or on the pockets, and yet others have yarn crocheted scallops around the collar, cuffs and pockets. One of black satine is broken out so rashly in cart-sized and varicolored appliqued disks that it looks like a futurist companion piece to "A Nude Descending the Stairs." There are also some new sweaters or blazers quite as new as the smocks, but not quite so wierd. However, they put to shame for very stripedness both the zebra and the Sing-Sing habitant.
These striped sweater coats worn with the one-toned corduroy or linen skirt are a sort of vice versa flipflop or fashion from the one toned sweaters worn with awning striped skirts that were so omnipresent at the beginning of the season.
Although the stripes are riotous in their color effects, they are not so without rhyme or reason by any means. They are striped in regimental colors, and each daughter of the regi- ment may express by her coat of many colors her regimental preference.
For the patriotic preparedness person there are the stripes of red, white and blue, and her sentiments as well as her figure may thus be embodied in her garment. Regimental colors are a deal more exclusive, however, and express a preference not quite so broad and promiscuous. Worn with white skirts these gray striped sweater coats are particularly stunning, and there also are accompanying accoutrements of hats and parasols striped to match.
The expression "Oh, she is that stripe," hereby gathers a new meaning and the regimental sweater offers, as well as warmth and adornment, a delightful modern method of wearing your heart on your sleeve by wearing instead HIS stripes.
Verily, no regiment would fail to present arms to such color bearers.
Now wouldn't you just love to see some examples of those " appliquéd in a mad hit or miss riot of gay, colored linen disks outline-stitched with yarn. Others are patched in crazy quilt fashion and feather stitched with yarn. Always there is yarn, yarn, yarn in some of every color, stitch or fashion"?!
I can sure tell I don't know a whole lot about the history of dress design! It took forever to find that plaid dress image that resembles my grandmotehr's dress. Do check out the link for the plaid dress for some background for the era 1914-1920 in "ordinary" women's dresses.
Happy hunting to you in whatever kind of collecting or research you do!

We are studying astronomy and everyone had to choose a favorite planet to learn about. I picked Uranus.
Uranus is a gas giant. Did you know Uranus has rings?
Hey, what's so funny about Uranus? Stop laughing, don't you want to hear about Uranus?
OK then, I'll continue. Uranus is blue-green colored and most of its atmosphere is methane gas.
What is wrong with you. Get off the floor and back in your seat so I can tell you about the moons of Uranus! Why aren't you proud that I know so much about Uranus?
But that's the name of the planet, my favorite planet. If you can't discuss these things without giggling maybe you aren't grown up enough to study astronomy.

The Audacity of Chapel: Scalable Parallel Programming Done Right
Thursday 2017-04-27T09:30+01:00
Programming language designers have to date largely failed the large-scale parallel computing community, and arguably even parallel programmers targeting desktops or modest-scale clusters. Parallel features are typically an afterthought in language design, tacked on as pragmas, libraries, or extensions. Even when languages are designed to support parallelism, they generally fail to consider distributed-memory computing. Other approaches tend to be domain-specific and not suited for more general parallel programming. Meanwhile, though the High Performance Computing (HPC) community has pursued many novel parallel languages, none have succeeded in getting over the tipping point of broad adoption.
Chapel is my team's effort to reverse these trends. It's a general-purpose language in which scalable parallel programming has been a motivating theme from day one. It's designed with productivity in mind in order to make parallel programming less arcane and more modern in style. It's portable and open-source in order to support a broad community and reduce barriers to adoption. And yet, like any new language design being undertaken by a modest-sized team, it's not without its challenges – both technical and social.
In this talk, I'll provide an introduction to Chapel's motivating themes and features to give you a sense of what we are doing and why. I'll also provide a glimpse into some of the challenges we wrestle with and how we are dealing with them. Whether you leave the talk a convert to Chapel or simply intrigued, I hope to challenge you to think about scalable parallelism as the first-class language feature that it deserves to be.
Brad Chamberlain is a Principal Engineer at Cray Inc. where he works on parallel programming models. He serves as the technical lead for the Chapel project which is developing a portable, open-source language for parallel programming on large-scale systems. In this role, Brad focuses primarily on leading the design and implementation of the Chapel language with his team at Cray and members of the open-source development community. Brad received his Ph.D. in Computer Science & Engineering from the University of Washington in 2001 working on the ZPL parallel array language. In the past, he has also worked on languages for embedded reconfigurable processors and on algorithms for accelerating the rendering of complex 3D scenes.

AI: Actual Intelligence
Friday 2017-04-28T09:30+01:00
It has been said, to err is human, to really foul things up requires a computer [citation needed]. Given the long tradition of AI, which sometimes attempts to make a sentient being from hardware, or body parts (think Frankenstein's monster), are humans unique, or is this dream possible? Or desirable?
Intelligence is also used to mean information the state or businesses gather on you; this is increasingly done by machine. We frequently have to prove who we are by stating Mother's maiden names, passwords, even swiping fingerprints. Much of this is processed by machine, powered by algorithms. What if they don't believe we are who we say we are?
There is more to intelligence than an algorithm. Your thoughts have a context; belief systems, experience, insight, thinking, learning. SciFi offers Asimov's law of robots. Clearly first order logic isn't enough. Obviously brute force isn't intelligence. So what is? Do we need it to run on hardware? Conversely, could we exist in cyberspace without a body? Where will it end?
Frances Buontempo is currently editor of the ACCU's Overload magazine and is a researcher at City, University of London, working on a project to provide diversity enhancements to SIEMS (Security Information and Event Management) http://disiem-project.eu/.
After graduating from Leeds University with a B.A. in Mathematics and Philosophy, she worked as a mathematics and IT secondary school teacher, eventually ending up as a programmer. During this time she obtained an M.Sc. in Pure Mathematics with the Open University, and then returned to Leeds University, to study for a PhD in data mining to predict how toxic organic chemicals might be. Between then and now, she has worked in various companies in London with a finance focus.
She has talked and written about various ways to program your way out of a paper bag, providing a gentle introduction to some machine learning approaches, while trying to keep up to date with new techniques.
Herb Sutter
Something(s) New in C++
Saturday 2017-04-29T16:30+01:00
By the time the ACCU 2017 conference begins, C++17 is expected to be technically complete and in its final approval ballot. What comes next? Will C++ continue growing forever? Can C++ code be simplified? This is a brand-new talk of material I've never given before, in which I'll present one (or more) of three proposals I'm personally working on to further improve C++ post-C++17. All follow a common theme – adding a strategic language and/or library feature to C++ that leads to significant, and sometimes dramatic, simplification of real-world C++ code. I'll pick which one (or more) of those topics to present sometime in March – watch for this title and abstract to be replaced with more specific information at least one month before the ACCU 2017 conference begins.
Herb Sutter is the chair of the ISO C++ committee and a native languages architect at Microsoft. Organizationally, he has overseen the development of all ISO C++-related specifications except for the original C++98 standard. Technically, he has been the lead- or co-designer of many standard C++ features, including lambda functions, forwarding constructors, enum class, nullptr, override/final, parallel algorithms, structured bindings, and other features. He is currently working on finding ways to further evolve C++ so that using C++ can be more consistent and simpler, even as the language continues to gain even greater expressive power and efficiency.

The bass guitar is one of the most fundamental, important, and prevalent instruments in all of popular music. If you're listening to music – regardless of the musical style – chances are there's a bass being played on the recording! For those who want to be gigging musicians and play in an active San Diego band, bass is a great choice because bands are always looking for a bassist and many bass players in San Diego are playing in multiple bands year round. From Paul McCartney to Sting, Geddy Lee and Esperanza Spalding, some of the most popular singers and composers have been bass players!
The bass guitar is actually tuned like a guitar, but an octave lower and with only 4 strings rather than 6. It's as if you're playing a guitar with the first and second strings missing! This makes it easy for guitarists to switch over to studying bass and vice versa. Also, music for bass is notated on the bass clef, whereas the guitar is notated using the treble clef. If you've taken piano lessons, you'll be familiar with both the bass and treble clefs.
There are many brands of bass amplifiers on the market, and in the long run you should purchase a bass amp. However, when you start your bass lessons a simple practice guitar amp will suffice, but it may sound a bit thin – that's why they make bass amplifiers equipped with speakers designed to focus on the low frequencies of the instrument.

Beautiful Butterflies in Your Garden
Some varieties of flowers which are easy to find and grow in this area, and will be attractive to many
species of butterflies include:
Aster, Black-eyed Susan, Butterfly Weed, Coreopsis, Daylilies, Goldenrod, Hibiscus, Lavender,
Lilac, Marigold, Butterfly Bush, Ox-eye Daisy, Purple Coneflower, Redbud, Rosemary,
Verbena and Lungwort
Other Attractants
Another way to attract adult butterflies to your yard is to offer places (food plants) for females to lay their
eggs. Some females are pickier about which host to lay their eggs on than others. A few specific
examples host plants are listed at the end of this article.
The larvae can also be very noteworthy. Some caterpillars have hairs or forked spines, which may be or
may not sting (often the hairs are just for show). It's better to be safe than sorry, so wear gloves when
handling these larvae. Certain swallowtail caterpillars imitate snakes or bird droppings. Other caterpillars, like sulphers, are camouflaged, or blend into their surroundings very well. If caterpillars are eating excessive foliage from a prominent or desirable part of a plant, try moving them (with gloves on if they're hairy) to the backside or another less noticeable portion of the plant.
All insects are cold-blooded and cannot internally regulate their body temperature. Butterflies will readily bask in the sun when it is warm out, but few are seen on cloudy days. It is a good idea to leave open areas in a yard for butterflies to sun themselves, as well as partly shady areas like trees or shrubs, so they can hide when it's cloudy or cool off if it is very hot.
Butterflies also like puddles. Males of several species congregate at small rain pools, forming puddle clubs. Permanent puddles are very easy to make by burying a bucket to the rim, filling it with gravel or sand, and then pouring in liquids such as stale beer, sweet drinks or water. Overripe fruit, allowed to sit for a few days is a very attractive snack (for ithem!) as well.
Butterfly Anatomy
Adult butterflies and moths have mouth parts shaped into a long, coiled tube. Forcing blood into the tube straightens it out, allowing butterflies to feed on liquids. Butterflies get all their food from this tube, which limits them to nectar and standing water. Larvae, on the other hand, have chewing mouth parts which they use to skeletonize or totally defoliate leaves. Butterflies have large, rounded compound eyes which allows them to see in all directions without turning their head. Like most insects, butterflies are very nearsighted, and are more attracted to large stands of a particular flower than those planted singly. They do not see "red" as well as we do, but they can see polarized light (which tells the direction the sun is pointing) as well as ultraviolet light, which is present on many flowers and guides them to nectar sources. Butterflies also have a very well-developed sense of smell from their antennae. All butterflies' antennae are club-shaped, as opposed to moths, which can be many shapes but often are feathery.
Butterflies begin their life as an egg, laid either singly or in clusters depending on the species. A very tiny caterpillar emerges and, after consuming its egg shell, begins feeding on its host plant. Caterpillars must crawl out of their skin or molt, usually around five times, before changing into a pupa. Finally, an adult butterfly emerges, spreads its wings and flies away. This type of development is complete metamorphosis.
Butterfly gardens are a great source for your own enjoyment, photo opportunities, or an outlet for artistic talent. These gardens can also be extended to interest youth in nature, by providing a small window of native inhabitants of the local environment. On a final note, it's important to conserve butterflies when possible since their habitat is constantly diminishing due to the increasing needs and consequent development of roads and housing.

When your dog dies it can be a traumatic experience, and for some, it is the equivalent of losing a human member of the family. If your pet was an integral part of your life, your grief is likely to be intense, and at times overwhelming.
The best thing you can do for your own well-being is to surround yourself with people who understand the bond that exists between a human and their beloved pet. People who don't share your love of pets or have never owned one, will not understand the deep sense of loss you experience. If you have to make the painful decision to euthanize your dog, it is very important that you be there for your pet and give it the ultimate gift of a peaceful and pain-free end.
Some people are lucky to have another dog to help them through the sadness of losing a loving companion animal. Pets also feel the loss of their friend, and together you may find comfort in sharing your sadness, even though it is with an animal rather than a human. Animals will never be unfeeling or judge you, telling you to "Get over it," or "It's time to get on with your life and forget your dog."
It helps to understand your feelings of loss when your dog dies. The bond that we form with our dogs can be deep and fulfilling, and the loss of a beloved animal can have an impact on us that is as painful as the loss of a family member or friend. This bond is what makes the connections with our pets rich and rewarding; and also what makes the grieving process so difficult. The greater your love for your pet, the deeper the sense of loss will be when they are gone.
The length of time a person grieves for the loss of their pet is often very different among people. Grief is an internal and personal response to the loss of a pet and there are identifiable stages of grief that most people experience. By understanding the grieving process, you can learn to accept and manage your grief, and help other family members or friends who share your feelings of loss.
There are many stages of grief, but not everyone experiences all of them, nor in the same order. These stages include denial, anger, guilt, depression, and acceptance, followed by the assurance of a life yet to be lived. Grief often comes in waves and can be brought on by something as simple as remembering how you and your pet used to spend loving times together. Seeing other people enjoying their pets can bring back good memories of you and your pet together and can seem overwhelming at times.
Many people immediately get rid of all the things their pet used every day – food and water bowls, collar and leashes, dog food, the dog's bed, and many other items. This makes it easier to accept your loss because you are not being constantly reminded that your pet is no longer with you. If your pet's death was sudden, or the time was short between accepting the finality of compassionate euthanasia, the more difficult it can be to accept the loss and the stronger the denial.
Anger and guilt often follow denial. Your anger may be directed toward people you love and respect, which often
includes family and friends. People coping with the death of a pet will often say things that they don't really mean, and unintentionally hurt people they don't mean to offend.
Some pet owners may feel guilty or blame themselves for not recognizing the seriousness of their dog's illness earlier and doing something about it sooner. Others may feel guilty because they could not afford the cost of further treatment to help their dog.
Depression is a common experience after the death of a beloved dog. You will probably find yourself frequently crying, and day-to-day tasks can seem impossible to accomplish. You may also feel isolated and alone, avoiding the company of your friends and family. Some people find it hard to get out of bed in the morning, especially if the morning routine included caring for the dog's needs.
There may be times when you wonder if you can go on living without your pet. The answer is a resounding YES. Eventually you will be able to handle your sadness and begin to accept the death of your pet. When you can remember your dog and the happy times you spent together without feeling intense grief and emotional pain, you are on the road to recovery. Acceptance does not mean you will no longer feel the sense of loss, only that you have come to accept the fact that your dog has died and will always live in your heart and memories.
Although everyone experiences some stages of grief, grieving is always a personal process one goes through and some people will take longer than others to come to terms with denial, anger, guilt, and depression. If you understand that these are normal reactions almost every dog owner goes through when their beloved pet dies, you will be better equipped to cope with your feelings.
Sometimes family and friends may not realize how important your pet was to you or the intensity of your grief, and may make remarks at times that seem cruel and uncaring. Understand that these comments are not meant to hurt you.
The death of a beloved dog can be extremely upsetting, especially if you had to euthanize your pet. The pain that comes from having to choose euthanasia, initially makes people vow that they will never have another pet dog because they could not stand to go through this kind of pain again. The thought of loving and eventually losing another dog may seem unbearable. Know that if you think these feelings will never go away, be assured that they too will pass with time. The decision of when, or even if ever, to bring a new dog into your life, is a personal one. Although you can never replace the dog you loved and lost, it is possible to find another pet to share your life with.
The length of time from birth to old age is much shorter for dogs than it is for people, and the death of a pet is a normal part of the life cycle. No matter what you do or to what extent you go through to keep your dog alive, death cannot be avoided. Understanding and compassion from friends and family can help you manage the grief of losing a best friend when your dog dies.

Is Mr Baker a good Yorkshire man, making sure that he doesn't have to get the boat repainted when the next Mrs Baker moves in?
We arrived in Lymm early this morning while they were setting up the market.
Several shops have closed since we were here last year but two flower shops have opened up. Must tell you something...
A stamped card.
Wednesday, 30 May 2007
As we were traveling through Dutton Stop Lock we noticed this sign on the lock gate.
1. Since when were there time restrictions on Saltersford Tunnel? Not when we went through last year anyway.
2. Why wasn't there a sign outside the tunnel before we went through?
David's niece Rachel visited this afternoon and then her husband, George popped in later.
Tuesday, 29 May 2007
Dutton Stop Lock
No locks today, just two tunnels with kinks so you just get a glimpse of the exit to see if there is a boat coming in the other direction.
I have posted a picture of our galley (kitchen) for those who might be interested.
And a card for a baltomane (if that is the right word).
Monday, 28 May 2007
Outside Middlewich
We travelled up the Shroppie to Nantwich, taking the bus into Chester. Then turned right onto the Middlewich Branch and moored just before the Cholmondley Lock. The SUCS were lock-wheeling for their funds but it was too wet to travel.
We left very early this morning before the SUCS were up, but David left a donation. We stopped at Middlewich and I got a taxi to the A&E Department of Leighton Hospital to see if I could get my poorly eye looked at.
They were not very helpful and after I got back we set off through the big lock and moored at one of our favourite spots just past Bridge 176.
Don't ask what the sculpture is. It's part of the sculpture park alongthe Nantwich Embankment.
The card was comissioned for a 65th Wedding Anniversary. They chose the subject!!
It is a photograph from the top of Amber Moon. I made three copies and then cut them into layers for a decoupage effect which, of course, does not show up in the photograph.
Friday, 25 May 2007
Below Audlum Locks
An early start today - 0530 - and we started in drizzle. The drizzle turned into rain as soon as we committed ourselves to the first five locks.
A quick shopping trip in Market Drayton and then we were off again through Adderley locks where the sun came out and it was quite pleasant
It was then down through Audlem locks; there were lots of boats going up and down so it was quite painless.
That means we did 25 locks today!!! But as the weather was so nice and the forecast for the weekend was rain and more rain we thought we would get a few miles in before the bad weather.
A decoupage birthday, the stripy paper came from a box of chocolates.
I was accused of only buying the chocolates for the wrapping. Now would I do that?
Thursday, 24 May 2007
Goldstone Wharf
David left at 0615 and I had another hour in bed as there were no locks today. Therefore we were moored up for the day before 0930.
I tried to walk to the top of Tyrley Locks but the towpath through the cutting was in such a bad state that I gave up and walked back the other way.
This picture is of a side paddle which is being colonized by bindeweed.
The photograph almost looks like a painting.
Three cards today. They are three different examples using the same stamp. Another one from Australia
I cut out the last one and mounted it with foam pads so that it stands proud.
Tuesday, 22 May 2007
Near Brewood (pronounced Brood!)
Monday, 21 May 2007
Away at last. After a visit to the Doctor's surgery for our check ups we left at arriving here 4 1/2 hours later. David only went down the weedhatch 6 times.
I have added a picture of our moorings as we may have to move. A big bad wolf is huffing and puffing and has already blown down the BW straw house and now he's after our mooring. Let's hope our house is made of stronger stuff.
You can't actually see our boat and the distinctive satellite dish has been put down, ready for us to leave.
It was so good to be on the move again though we seem to have missed some of the spring. The hawthorn is dying and we've missed the bluebells. There are lots of other flowers though and the wild roses were out all along the towpath. Plus lots of ducklings, baby coots and moorhens.
This card was made for a fellow boater for another boater and he insisted on the wording.
I have sorted out the templates for printing onto individual cards now so I printed the wording. The topper was bought in (I'm not that crafty yet).
I had a good "selling" day yesterday and I hadn't even displayed the cards. A lovely lady bought several cards and ordered a 65th wedding anniversary card for her parents.
Saturday, 19 May 2007
Gas Street (but not for much longer - hooray!
Cup final day and disappointment in the household. I went shopping in Solihull and spent another fortune in Lakeland on stuff I don't need and will probably never use on cards. Still, I enjoyed my little self.
Friday, 18 May 2007
Gas Street
Spent the whole morning at the hospital getting my ear and my eyes sorted. Have to travel back to Birmingham on 4 June from wherever we are to get a lump removed from my ear. Apart from that nothing much occurred and I was able to make a wedding card for Gail's son's wedding next month. I'll post it after the event - just in case.
Another card for the military man, just a sticker, mounted onto card and a background I found on the web mounted onto gold card. There is plenty of room for a sentiment or name.
Wednesday, 16 May 2007
Gas Street
I finally got to see St Basil's Cathedral in Red Square and it didn't disappoint. It was beautiful. Moscow was all decorated for their Victory Day parade on 7 March though we had to leave before it started.
Berlin had really changed since our last visit just after the wall came down. Our hotel was well into the old East Berlin and a trip on the U-Bahn to Alexanderplatz would have been very naughty when we were both there in 1971.
Still, coffee and cakes at the old Kranzlers (which has now been renamed) brought back happy memories.
Now for the card. I have used a toy jet attached to a photograph of the sky and mounted on silver card. Of course, because of the size it comes in a box!!

25% of young Europeans use illegal sources to access online content
Most say they do this because it is free, or cheaper than accessing content from legal sources, according to a new report from the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), which surveyed young people in each of the 28 EU Member States.
Films and series were the most accessed types of content from illegal sources, followed by music and games.
Believed that they were doing nothing wrong
Nearly one in four believed that they were doing nothing wrong in accessing digital content from illegal sources for personal use, and a third considered that content from illegal sources was easier to find and quicker to access than content from legal sources.
Six out of ten young Europeans say they would stop using illegal sources to access digital content if more affordable content from legal sources was available.
Buying counterfeit goods - not as common
The report also shows a big difference in attitudes among young people between illegally accessing digital content and buying counterfeit goods online.
Only 12% of those questioned said they have intentionally bought counterfeit products online in the past 12 months, mostly counterfeit clothes, accessories and footwear, with over half saying they did so because it was cheaper than buying the real thing.
Do not trust sites which sell counterfeit goods
However, the vast majority of young people do not buy counterfeit products online. Over half of all those questioned say they do not trust the sites which sell counterfeit goods, and 20% say they are afraid of their data being misused if they make a purchase.

The activity of transcription factors like AP-1 and Oct-1 is critical for the regulation of gene expression. Whereas Oct-1 mainly regulates the expression of housekeeping genes, AP-1 is often involved in cellular responses to external stimuli and plays an essential role in the regulation of light-induced apoptosis of mouse retinal photoreceptors. In this study, we investigated AP-1 and Oct-1 DNA binding activity and AP-1 complex composition in the mouse retina during light-induced photoreceptor apoptosis. AP-1 DNA binding activity was low in dark-adapted animals but was transiently elevated within 12 h after exposure of mice to apoptosis-inducing levels of white fluorescent light. Maximal AP-1 activity was found 6 h after light-exposure. Antibody interference analysis at 6 h after damaging light exposure and under normal light conditions revealed that the major fraction of AP-1 consists of c-Fos/JunD heterodimers in both situations. In contrast to AP-1, Oct-1 DNA binding activity was maximal in dark-adapted animals and was reduced during photoreceptor apoptosis. Transient induction of AP-1 (c-Fos/JunD) and inactivation of Oct-1 may be crucial events for light-mediated apoptosis of retinal photoreceptors.

Manpreet Singh (91kg) won the lone silver medal for India, while Nanao Singh (49kg), Suranjoy Singh (52kg), Santosh Harijan (52kg), Kuldeep Singh (75kg) and Paramjeet Samota (91kg) had to be content with a bronze medal each.
Playing in the heavy weight category, Manpreet, a silver medallist at the 2010 Asian Games, made his way into the finals of the tournament after beating compatriot Paramjeet Samota.
Samota, a super heavy weight boxer, chose to fight in the heavy weight category for this event. But the Commonwealth Games gold medallist fell short against the speed and accuracy of Manpreet.
He was trailing by one point after the first round when Manpreet stretched the advantage to five points in the second.
In the third round, Samota, with his hard hitting body blows and hooks tried to make a comeback, but Manpreet held on to emerge triumphant 20:18.
Unfortunately, the 26-year-old Manpreet, failed to compete in the summit clash due to medical problems and had to make do with a silver medal. In the light-fly weight category, Thokchom Nanao Singh was up against Muzaparov of Kazakhstan. The Asian Games silver medallist ended up on the losing side in a high paced bout.
Nanao went down to the Kazak boxer 22:57 after three rounds of intense action.
In stark contrast, Satosh Harijan's purple patch came to an end in what was a very low scoring contest against Ramirez of the Cuba Main team, in the fly weight division.
Both boxers adopted a defensive approach, but in the end, it was the Cuban boxer, who took a crucial three-point lead to win the bout.
Satosh, who had performed exceptionally well to reach the semifinals, had to settle for a bronze with a 4:7 defeat.
Playing in the same weight category, Suranjoy Singh suffered a similar fate as he went down to J Neto of Brazil 7:18.
The Commonwealth Games gold medallist, making his first international appearance since the 2010 Asian Games, exhibited some excellent technique and combinations. In the end though, it was the Brazilian who prevailed.
Kuldeep Singh also lost his semifinal bout to Dominican Castillo Junior. The reigning national champion in the middle weight category was out of sorts and could not break Castillo's guard and ended up losing the bout 10:18.
Indian pugilists settle for a silver, five bronze in Cuba meet
Manpreet Singh (91kg) won the lone silver medal for India, while Nanao Singh (49kg), Suranjoy Singh (52kg), Santosh Harijan (52kg), Kuldeep Singh (75kg) and Paramjeet Samota (91kg) had to be content with a bronze medal each.

Your Top Diet Problems Solved
Heather Weston/Sonja PachoFrom Health magazineNo matter how determined you are to lose weight, youre going to hit some bumps along the road to your dream body—as our three Health readers on the Feel Great Weight plan are finding out. We can help: Read on for motivating advice from our Dream Team so you can keep the scale heading south.
Fatou Kine Dieye: 33, Architect and director of graduate-student affairs at Columbia University
Height: 5' 10 1/2"
Goal weight: 165 lbs
Her challenge:
"I keep eating the same meals—Im in a food rut!"
The fix: "Clinging to 'safe foods out of fear is very common," Dream Team diet expert Marissa Lippert, RD, says. "You think, 'If its working, why change it? But variety is key," she says, pointing out that the more psyched you are about the healthy foods in your pantry, the more likely you are to keep eating them—and losing weight.
Related links:
"Change things up by adding at least one new thing to your grocery cart every time," Lippert says. Try different kinds of in-season produce, which naturally changes throughout the year. (Bonus: Thats when they taste the best and pack the most nutrients.) Another way to excite a bored palate: Reach for fresh and dried herbs and spices.
"Theyre a phenomenal way to change flavors without adding extra calories," Lippert reveals. "If you always make a marinated chicken dish, see what happens if you use Asian spices or a Jamaican jerk seasoning instead."
What worked for Feel Great Weight alumnus Vanessa Trost? "Making a list of foods I already liked to eat, then figuring out what could be rotated in for them as an alternative." Love brown rice? You may be crazy for quinoa, too. Vive la difference!
Next Page: Deanna Verbouwens [ pagebreak ]
Heather Weston/Sonja Pacho
Deanna Verbouwens: 39, Stay-at-home mom
Height: 5' 3"
Goal weight: 145 lbs
Her challenge:
"Whenever I make a mistake I think, 'I blew it. Why even try anymore?"
The fix: Slipups come with the territory, so its vital to deal with them in a positive way. "If you ran a red light and got a ticket, would you say, 'Im such a terrible person, I might as well run red lights for the rest of the day?" Dream Team psych expert Judith Beck, PhD, asks. "In almost any nondieting area of life, we dont compound one mistake with another."
Try this: "Write 'Big deal, I made a mistake. If I get right back on track, I will feel better on an index card, and stick it in your purse to pull out when trouble strikes," Beck instructs. Sure, it may seem hokey, but seeing that message in black and white will halt your inner blame game. "Eventually, it will become solidified in your mind as an automatic response," Beck says.
"Does losing weight give me more motivation to continue? Yes, yes, and triple yes!"
Next Page: Alanna Campbell [ pagebreak ]
Heather Weston/Sonja Pacho
Alanna Campbell: 27, Associate producer-director for sports television
Height: 6' 0"
Goal weight: 170 lbs
Her challenge:
"All these workouts are making me tired!"
The fix: "Exercise is supposed to give you energy, not sap it," Dream Team fitness expert Johanna Subotovsky says. Its time to discover the true source of your fatigue—and fix it.
Fuel up. "You need to eat before and after workouts to keep your blood sugar stable," Subotovsky says. Something light, like a banana, is best for a pre-exercise boost; post-workout, a more substantial meal with complex carbs like whole-grain bread will reenergize you.
Chug more H2O. Lots of folks skimp on water without even realizing it—and when working up a sweat, its even more crucial. "Dehydration makes your energy plummet," Subotovsky explains. Aim for about eight 8-ounce glasses.
Have better timing. Alannas been switching between a.m. and p.m. workouts, which may be throwing off her internal clock. "Experiment, then choose the time you feel best," Subotovsky says. (Since moving from early-a.m. to lunchtime gym sessions, Feel Great Weight alum Trost has been able to enjoy her workouts more—and her zzzs.)
"People cant believe Ive only lost six pounds. Im more surprised with my measurements—my pants are really loose. I need to find a tailor!"

I love my job! It is always interesting and funny to be in our company, especially when outstanding clients come.
Once in the evening I was having fun watching Comedy Club on TNT. It was a sketch in which our countryman Zurab Matua participated. I thought how great it would be to organize wedding for such famous persons! As they say, I thought about it and forgot… But dreams can become true (be careful).
So in less than one month Zurab Matua – resident of Comedy Club – decided to employ our services. Can you imagine how surprised I was?! Zurab decided to get spliced in his homeland Georgia. Naturally, he was searching for the best team to make arrangements of such responsible event. Surely, during preparation process Zurab made a lot of fun, thus we all were in a god mood before and after the ceremony.
Old Svetitskhoveli Cathedral of 5th century was chosen for the ceremony. The church is among World Heritage Site memorials and is located in Mtskheta. Combination of old walls, historical block stone and modernity amazed the guests from other countries. The great temple stops the time. At the time of wedding ceremony everything stoped dead, only shivering wedding candles and lovers' heart beats reminded each other what was going on. Cameras captured every priceless moment thus collecting into one piece emotions, that will remain in family history forever and will never repeat…
Let this important event in Zurab and Anastasia's life be basis of their future family.

MN Trapping Season Opens October 19th!
It means that starting on the 19th and going until March 15th body grip traps can be legally set virtually anywhere on public land, anywhere on private land with landowner permission, nearly all road ditches and culverts. They can even be set in some city parks like Lum Park in Brainerd. Actually the list of where they can't be set is shorter than the list of where they can be set. And they can even be baited with dog food.
Body grip traps can be set on all lake shores and under bridges. They can be set under your dock without your permission. If you remove it you can be the one who gets the ticket.
The changes in body grip regulations passed into law last spring are worthless. They were not intended to protect dogs. In fact they are the same sets that are killing dogs. You can prove it by placing a hot dog 3 feet off the ground and seeing if your dog can reach it. Or put the hot dog 7" under your car. If your dog can reach the hot dog it can reach the trigger of a legally set body grip trap.
If you know of any dogs that have been killed please contact us. It is possible to hold the trapper who kills a dog in a body grip financially responsible even if the trap was set according to the regulations. Our website has the steps that need to be taken. Click on the "Trapper Liability" link on the left side of the home page. http://www.doglovers4safetrappingmn.org
Most trappers support changing the regulations to protect
dogs from body grip traps but a very small number of trappers within the
trapping association have stated they "won't give an inch" and worked to prevent any changes to body
grip trap regulations that would protect our dogs. More of our dogs are going to be killed this fall because
of their actions. Last year at least 13 dogs were killed in body grip traps.
Changing body grip trap regulations would mean that less than 500 bobcat trappers would be forced to stop using body grip traps and switch to more effective foot hold traps. It would mean that they would have to check their traps daily instead of every 3 days. Two million MN dog owners are being held hostage by less than 500 trappers just so they don't have to check their traps daily.
1. Speak up. Talk to other dog owners. Let them know about the danger body grip traps are to their dogs every time they go hunting or walking. Ask them to contact their legislators. Find your legislator here. http://www.gis.leg.mn/OpenLayers/districts/
2. Write letters to your local paper. We have an example letter on our website under "Volunteer Opportunities". We also have a body grip fact sheet on our website. It's the "Hot Topics!!!" link.
3. Talk to your legislators. Now is the time to contact them to let them know this is important to you. Volunteer on their campaign. Just a couple of hours some evening can make all the difference. That can put you on a first name basis with them and be extremely valuable when the legislative session begins.
4. Distribute our flyers at any place where dog owners visit. Dog food stores, public bulletin boards, vet clinics, dog training classes, hunter/hiker trail heads, wildlife management areas are good places. You can get flyers by contacting us and we will send you some.
5. Stay in touch. It matters. We will have a bill this legislative session and we will need you to contact your legislator to ask them to support it.
With your help we can get this fixed and get back to enjoying our four legged friends without worrying about whether this will be their last day.
Thank you!
Update: 2013October 19, 2013 marks the opener of Minnesota trapping season. Beaver runs through April 30th 2014, and raccoon, red fox, gray fox, badger, and opossum run through March 15th 2014.
So what's changed this year? The answer is Not Much. The Minnesota Trappers Association worked exclusively with certain legislators to prevent a hearing on a bill to protect our dogs. Three feet off the ground and 7 inch overhangs do nothing. In fact it ignores completely dog instincts and behavior and capabilities. So once again our dogs are at high risk while walking, hunting, or whatever your outdoor activities are with them.
What can you do? Certainly contact your legislator, statewide and locally. Send them our website and ask them to look at the videos.
If you live in town, do not think for a minute that there aren't traps there, too. One dog was killed last season in White Bear Township, just north of Saint Paul. Some cities even allow body grip traps to be set in parks. Be aware that virtually all highway right-of-ways (ditches) in MN are open to setting body grip traps. In fact meat baited body grip traps can be set in YOUR driveway culvert. Some trappers set as many as 100-200 body grip traps in ditches. The traps can be set in body grip boxes, hidden in trails, and even culverts without notifying the property owner.
If you live along a county or township road you can post your ditch closed to trapping. Signs must be posted every 1,000 feet or less each year. Be sure to put your signature on the sign to make it legal. Contact your county or township highway department for the proper placement of the signs.
Below is the MN DNRs hunting and
trapping regulations, trapping info begins on page 46.
Please stay active and informed, and contact us with your experience, ideas and more. And JOIN. It matters.
When dogs start being killed in body grip traps again this fall we want to know. Please contact us through the "Contact Us" form or send an email. Be sure to read "Trapper Liability". The link is on the left side of the home page of this website.
Update: 2014
No hearings, no votes, no improvements, no protections for our dogs. We're working on the issue, and we'll be back next year.

CBS in Chicago featured a short news feature on their 10 o'clock news. Here's the video clip of this news feature in Quicktime format.
Apple Store, end of line
This was the end of the line, basically stretching three blocks away from the front of the building I think later on it grew another block.
Apple Store, end of line 2
Another shot from the end of the line.
Second line
I discovered there were two lines to get in, one was the "overflow" line. It turns out that the first line got in first, then they let the second line in.
Apple Store, middle of line
Here are the two lines, taken from the beginning of the second block.
Apple Store, bicyclists?
A whole ton of bicyclists showed up riding down Huron, blocking traffic and making fun of people driving cars. They must have known the Mac fans would be here because they handed out pro-bicycle flyers that made references to "Think Different" (I didn't get a chance to see a flyer up close, so I'm not sure of more details).
Apple Store-glass staircase
Inside the Apple Store. Woohoo! It took me about an hour and a half to get in. This is on of the first things you see when you get inside--a glass staircase up to the second floor.
Apple Store--underneath staircase
Here's a shot from underneath the glass staircase. It's blocked off by glass; I'm not sure why. Perhaps the glass supports the stairs?
Apple Store - 1st floor
Macs, iSights, and cameras are lined up on tables on either side of the 1st floor.
Apple Store - Theater
On the second floor at the top of the staircase, one can find a theater with seats, a screen, and a stage.
Apple Store - Theater 2
Apple Store - Window
Here's a shot of the huge Apple window form the inside. Pretty cool! I took this shot by standing on a glass bridge that connects each side of the second floor.
Apple Store - Ceiling
A glass ceiling allows you to see up to the sky. Quite a nice touch.
Apple Store - band
A band actually started playing at the theater, you can barely see them in this shot.
Apple Store - band close-up
Here's a closer shot of the band.
Apple Store - top of staircase
Here's a shot of the Apple window again, from the top of the glass staircase. You can see the front doors at the bottom with people streaming in.
Apple Store - 1st floor 2
Here's another shot of the Macs on the 1st floor. Sorry it's so blurry.
Apple Store - bottom of staircase
Apple Store - Apple window outside
Here's a shot of the Apple window and front doors from the outside. There were a ton of people there, and quite a few people just walking by on the street, wonder what was going on.
Apple Store - front doors
Apple Store - still a line
There was still a line to get in when I left at 8:30. I didn't check to see how far it went, but it was at least a block.
Apple Store - white Apple
Outside on the left-hand side of the building there is a white Apple; I think it glows when it gets dark out.
Apple Store - iPod display
Also on the left-hand side of the building, there's an iPod window display.
Apple Store - front
I guess I should have tried taking this picture when there was more sunlight, but this gives you a pretty good idea what it looks like.
Apple Store - Apple bag
The new Apple bags have strings that let you carry them over your shoulder.
Apple Store - iSight
Apple Store - free shirt front
This is the shirt they were giving away.
Apple Store - free shirt back

Today's birth story is a pretty fresh one, as this baby was only born 9 days ago! Very impressive Bethie! Bethie is an American living in London with her husband and little girl Charlotte and new baby Peter. Her first baby was born in Washington 3 years ago.
Blog: A Tree Grows In London
Instagram: bethielethie
"After a few false starts in the days leading up to the big day, my contractions started for real around 3pm on Thursday 24 January (I was exactly 39 weeks). Things progressed quickly from there: by 4pm my husband was on his way home from work and I made arrangements for my three-year-old daughter to be picked up to stay at a friend's house. By 6pm my waters had broken and we were ready to head to the hospital!
The cab ride to the hospital had been the source of much anxiety for me during my pregnancy. I kept imagining being stuck in traffic whilst in the throes of labour and permanently soiling our nice cab driver's new car . . . Luckily the cab ride was fairly uneventful (aside from my moaning and groaning of course). Well, that's not entirely true. It was uneventful until we were about two minutes from the hospital and my contractions got way more intense and felt like they were coming one after the other. The cab driver got worried and pulled straight into the emergency entrance where a wheelchair was immediately brought over to the car. My contractions were two minutes apart and already more painful than I ever remember them being with my daughter (I laboured naturally for 15 hours with her before eventually getting an epidural. You can read her birth story here). I was wheeled into Labour and Delivery and was promptly parked in the waiting room next to another woman in the throes of labour. That was the moment I started losing my visions of finally having the peaceful, midwife led water birth that I wasn't allowed when I had my daughter (the area hospitals didn't allow midwives). I started panicking: "I don't want to be in the waiting room! I want to be in a birthing pool! I want to get out of this wheelchair! I want a midwife to come help me! Please! Somebody send a midwife to come help me!" Despite my pleas for help (and yet another labouring mother added to the mix) I was still in the waiting room. The pain was so intense and unbearable that I couldn't fathom the horror of living through another contraction and yet they kept coming one after another after another.
I decided the only way I was going to make it through this delivery without being kicked out of the country for assault was to get an epidural. I told my husband that I wanted an epidural and knowing how adamant I had been about not wanting one, he responded, "we'll see". Not what I wanted to hear. By the time I was finally wheeled into a room I had made it my mission to request an epidural from very person I encountered. I continued to get more and more agitated about it and began to demand that someone, anyone, needed to get me an anaesthetist right away. The midwife explained that it was too late. My contractions were on top of each other and the baby was coming. I continued to panic. This wasn't how I imagined things. There was no birthing pool or low lights or peaceful music. There was just me on a bed, the sound of my voice crying out in pain and yelling for everyone to be quiet and bright lights and lots of people hustling around the room. (Though my husband informed me after reading this part of my story that no one was "hustling "around the room and, in fact, I was the only one making any noise . . . )
Now, I'm not sure what changed, but at some point in the midst of the chaos, the anaesthetist arrived and gave me an epidural. Within ten minutes I was feeling human again. I was finally able to open my eyes and properly meet and apologise to my midwife. It was as if the storm clouds had opened up and the sun appeared. We were able to talk about the birth process and she went over my birth plan (uh . . . just ignore that bit about no epidural . . .) and then she brought Jason and me nice hot cups of tea. Jason and I chatted, snoozed and enjoyed the quiet, peaceful atmosphere until around midnight when the midwife said it was time to get ready to push.
When I gave birth to my daughter, it was a typical American scenario where the nurse gets everything ready and the doctor rushes in at the last minute to catch the baby as it comes out. As you can see our doctor even came equipped with a "splash mask" visor:
My experience with the midwife led birth was completely different to my experience in America. No additional people came into our room. It was just the midwife and my husband and me. There was nothing frantic about it. No commotion. No splash guards. Just the midwife calmly encouraging me through my pushes and my husband watching in amazement as our son came into the world — not to a screaming and swearing and a delirious mother — but to a rested, calm, peaceful, mother. Peter Thomas Hungerford was born at 00:45 on 25 Jan, 2014 and weighed exactly eight pounds.
Side note:
Now don't get me wrong. Despite my son's perfect entry into the world, I still regret that I was unable to have a medication-free birth. And if I am ever blessed with a third baby I will again plan a natural water birth. But given how things played out, I was overall thrilled with how amazing and beautiful my son's birth was.
As soon as he arrived he was placed on my chest and remained there for at least an hour per my request. (The weighing, poking and prodding happened later). The baby and I were both in good shape so the midwife left the room leaving Jason and me to bond with our beautiful son. It was magical. He took beautifully to the breast and got skin-to-skin time with both Jason and me. The midwife eventually returned and brought us more tea (God save the queen!) and after another hour or so we were moved to the labour ward.
Now here I could write about how annoying it was to have to share a recovery room with three strangers and their babies when all I wanted was to go home. I had heard so many stories of women giving birth in the hospital and arriving home within a few hours and had been hopeful I could follow suite. However, I was required to stay longer than normal because I tested positive for group b strep so the labour ward was unavoidable. And despite the labour ward horror stories I had heard (including being one bed over from a woman attempting to nurse a baby who was born with teeth!) it really wasn't so bad and we were back home within 24 hours of arriving at the hospital.
In America we were required to spend three days at the hospital after the birth of our daughter (despite having had a completely normal birth) and were extremely anxious to bring her home. Jason and I were both thrilled to be home so soon this time around and we've been so impressed that a midwife comes to our house to check up on baby and me.
We are happily adjusting to being a family of four and big sister Charlotte couldn't be more pleased with new new brother!"

SABR 42 General Manager Panel: Terry Ryan
Terry Ryan, Executive Vice President, General Manager of the Minnesota Twins, was a featured speaker at SABR 42 on June 29, 2012, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The General Manager Panel was moderated by author Daniel R. Levitt. Here are some highlights:
On having a lower payroll than other major league teams
- "I've never used payroll as an excuse. I think it is an excuse. It's changed dramatically over the years. ... You deal with the deck you're dealt."
On using video in amateur scouting
- "In the evaluation process, some people use it more than others. I don't know how people scout video in the amateur world. I just can't figure that out. I don't think many of us make decisions on video. But it is a tremendous piece in the major leagues. All of us use it."
On dealing with different front office departments
- "If an organization [baseball operations] doesn't get along with your business side, you're going to have a tough go. ... You have to look those people in the eyes and realize you're in this thing together. ... Make them feel like they're part of the organization. They want to be a piece of this thing. They want to help you."
On the importance of ownership
- "Most baseball teams and organizations, it goes from the top on down. If you have good ownership and stability up top, you're probably going to be in pretty good shape. They'll end up showing more patience than most owners. The owners who are dangerous think they know more about baseball than the baseball people. They like to take shortcuts, and that's a recipe for disaster."
On the Twins' organizational stability
- "Develop your own ... I think that's one thing we've done right. The last couple years, we haven't done much right. This is one thing we do right. If you look at our staffs, we developed our manager, we developed our pitching coach, we developed our trainers, we developed our strength and conditioning people. Our farm director has been here for 45 years. Major league coaches, front office, everything. You've got stability in the organization, you don't have to do the guesswork of what a person is thinking. ... There's nothing worse than hiring a guy and within two years he's looking over his shoulder for the next job. Get out of here."
On statistical analysis
- "It's a piece of the puzzle. It can be paralyzing because there's so much information available. As a decision maker, you have to take in all sorts of information, scouting and evaluation, the makeup, the health history, whether the guy can switch from the National League or the American League. Stats sometimes are invalid, sometimes they are valid. I don't like to get too much into career stats. I like to look at a one- to two-year history. ... Some teams are deeper into it than others. But it is a piece, and it's a valuable piece."

Urgent Care Centers: When You Need Medical Care But Not The Emergency Room
Before the proliferation of urgent care centers, your only choice for minor medical issues was the doctor's office. However, many doctor's offices have limited hours and even more limited open appointments. This would often dictate a trip to an emergency room for issues that were relatively benign, such as a prescription for antibiotics or a few stitches to close a minor cut.
Many emergency rooms also require non-emergency patients to wait for hours for treatment, and the cost is measurably more expensive than a visit to a family doctor's office. Urgent care centers fill the void when you need reasonably priced treatment at a normally unreasonable hour.
What types of services are offered at urgent care centers?
Diagnosis of minor illnesses
Most urgent care centers are staffed by physician's assistants, who can diagnose and treat health issues as well as prescribe medications. Urgent care centers can test for common maladies such as strep throat as well as strep and urinary tract infections.
Antibiotics can be prescribed for bacterial infections, while antiviral medications can be given for viruses such as the flu. Immediate treatment will usually shorten the duration and intensity of these infections, so urgent care centers provide an essential service when a patient cannot see a doctor or sit in an ER for hours waiting for service.
Most school systems require specific inoculations before a student can attend classes at the beginning of the school year. If your child lacks one or more of the required inoculations, they can get vaccinating and receive documentation of the treatment to take to school.
Treatment of minor injuries
Urgent care centers can treat minor injuries such as cuts that require stitches and sprains that need to be wrapped. Prescriptions for stronger painkillers and muscle relaxers can be provided, but narcotics are not offered in this type of setting because of the widespread abuse of opioid pain medications.
What are some of the other benefits of visiting an urgent care center?
If you don't have medical insurance, a trip to the emergency room of a local hospital can cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars, depending on the care provided. Urgent care centers provide the same services for a fraction of the cost.
Patients with medical insurance usually pay only a copay that is slightly higher than that paid to a private physician, and much less that the copay paid for a trip to the ER.
This is the main benefit of an urgent care center. Many of these centers are located in large drug store chains with numerous locations, so you can visit the urgent care center in your area and get your prescription at the same location.
Some hospitals have urgent care centers near their emergency rooms, so patients with minor issues can avoid the ER wait time and expense. This provides a dual benefit, because if you have an illness or injury that is too serious for the urgent care center, you can transfer to the ER without delay or further travel.
Urgent care centers can't do everything, but if you need help with a minor medical issue when your doctor's office is closed, they are there when you need them.
