Wikinfo - U.S. Electoral College. This is an article about the Electoral College from the web encyclopedia Wikinfo. Much maligned, there are actually very good reasons for having the Electoral College. I doubt it will ever be abolished. The small states will lose clout without it so why would they agree to change the Constitution?
From the site:
Voting for President of the United States is an indirect election. Presidential elections take place on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November in years evenly divisible by four. Although ballots typically list the names of the Presidential candidates, voters within the 50 states and the District of Columbia (which is considered a state when voting for President, according to Amendment XXIII of the Constitution) actually choose electors when they vote for President. These electors in turn cast the official votes for President. Federal law says that each state's electors meet in their state capitals on the Monday following the second Wednesday of December. There, they cast their electoral votes for President and Vice President.
Once voting is complete, a record of the votes is sent to the President of the Senate, who, in the presence of both houses of Congress on the following January 6, opens them up and tallies the votes. The person with the most electoral votes for President, provided that is is an absolute majority, is to be sworn in as the new President on the following January 20 (or 21st if the 20th is a Sunday), and the person with the most electoral votes for Vice President (which must also be an absolute majority) becomes Vice President on the same date. If no person wins a majority of electoral votes for President, the House of Representatives then votes to decide who shall become the next President from among the top three candidates. Similarly, if no absolute majority is achieved by a Vice Presidential candidate, the Senate chooses from among the top two candidates.

CRIP.TO's founder and staff are dedicated to the libertarian value of free speech. After all, modern democratic governments are predicated upon each individual's and organization's right to express their opinions, views, thoughts, wishes, political perspectives, and religious beliefs without fear of backlash by either the government or other individuals and organizations. When people are afraid to express themselves, they are not living in a truly free society.
technology has empowered, enabled, and encouraged governments, corporations, organizations, and individuals to violate the freedom of expression of others for any number of reasons, both legitimate and criminal.
The proliferation of technology and software tools enables these operators to monitor and capture the communications and data of others. As societies embrace and rapidly adopt the conveniences of new technologies like smartphones and the internet, the expose themselves to these risks, usually without knowing they are doing so.
When a person uses a smartphone or sends information over the internet, it is most frequently sent in plain text/data form. Any operator who intercepts the data can read it and act on it as they see fit. Seemingly innocent communications can be twisted to other uses if those communications are unprotected.
The WikiLeaks episode of 2013 helped affirm the risk we all face for CRIP.TO's founder and CEO Stefano Alberico. His experience in the smartphone and big data industries equipped him with the knowledge and determination to develop a solution that protects the freedom of communication and expression for everyone.
Today, CRIP.TO is poised to deliver on the promise of freedom to communication without fear of those communications, be they voice, VoIP, documents, pictures, crypto currency transactions, or simply transferring files with an integrated, easy to use, and nearly impregnable encryption solution. Our liberation values of freedom of speech and expression require nothing less.

27 Aug Unforgettable Experience
I organized a white water rafting trip with 7 friends of mine from both college and high school. We expected to have a blast, but our expectations were exceeded; it was an absolute unforgettable experience.
On the road trip back home we couldn't stop talking about all the memories we made in just two nights. Our guide was Kris, and he was just the absolute man. Not only was he extremely good at his job, but was also extremely knowledgable. From questions about white water to the history of Maine, Kris had an in-depth and intelligent response for us. Kris and the rest of the staff at Northern Outdoors are all great.
You folks at Northern Outdoors really do things the right way and we're counting down the days until our next trip with you!

Cambodian Weaving Village and the Meas Family Homestay is a unique social enterprise in Takeo province. Here's how you can get off the beaten track in Cambodia and visit this beautiful village while supporting their weavers.

Paul Gill and Siphen Meas are two names you often hear associated with the revival of loom weaving in Cambodia.
Pinning down the origins of their partnership and the various businesses they are both involved in can be a little tricky, so let me start with a brief explanation…
About Cambodian Weaving Village
Cambodian Weaving Village is a small weaving studio located in the Tram Kak District of Takeo province, about 90 minutes south of Phnom Penh along National Road 3 (or two hours by train).
The Village is home to The Weavers Project – a cooperative that was formed in 2013 as a joint initiative between Sonas World (which is managed by Paul, a social entrepreneur from the UK) and Siphen, a Takeo local.
Paul continues to live on the property and co-manages both the Village and coconut oil/tea brand Dai Khmer, which he co-founded with Vichka Vantha – although nowadays he is often in Siem Reap tending to a new project, the Cambodian Cultural Village.
In 2015, Siphen moved to Ohio for work, leaving her separate business, the Meas Family Homestay (sometimes referred to simply as Cambodian Homestay), in the very capable hands of her niece, Linda.
The Homestay actually predates the weaving co-op; Siphen officially launched it in 2003 after a travel agency in New Zealand (with whom she was working as a translator) encouraged her to open the house to school and tour groups.
The original house has been in the Meas family since the late 1970s, and with the addition of several new buildings as recently as 2015, the Homestay can now accommodate up to 30 people.
Before visiting, I had the impression that the Homestay and Weaving Village were located close to each other – they are actually part of the same property.
There is also a schoolroom and a library on site – part of another of Siphen's projects, an NGO called Hope for Happiness, which offers English lessons to local children, often led by volunteers who are sleeping at the Homestay.
The Meas Family Homestay & Cambodian Weaving Village today
Linda and the six other Meas family members who live here all pitch in to ensure the Village and Homestay run smoothly. (Even 87-year-old Grandma, who insists on washing the dishes after dinner, gets involved.)
Having now met them, I know that the Meases are a generous, welcoming family who genuinely love hosting guests! So, the structure of the business might be a little hard to wrap your head around (for me, at least), but all elements of the project are linked under Paul and Siphen's shared vision: To tackle poverty and address social issues in the local community through sustainable, skilled employment.
Unlike many other development projects, we are independent of grants and charitable donations. We create social enterprises (with impact investments) which create high quality products that are marketed to ethical customers around the world. 100% of our profits are reinvested into educations of the children, health and well-being, capacity building and impact growth.The Weavers project
The Weavers Project's mission in particular is perfectly aligned with the kind of work I'm most interested in, which is why I couldn't wait to finally get to Takeo this month and meet Paul. Unfortunately he was in Siem Reap, but we were hosted instead by the lovely Linda, who is herself a wealth of knowledge about Takeo and the significance of weaving in this part of the country.
Rice is life
Takeo is famous for its hand-woven cotton textiles – but you only need look around you to know that agriculture is now the province's main industry. As soon as you enter Takeo from the neighbouring Phnom Penh administrative zone, rice fields start dominating the landscape.
At this time of year, some are golden with towering crops that are almost ready to harvest; others are still low and iridescent green. Every family in this part of Takeo has their own piece of land; mostly farmed for subsistence, occasionally for selling surplus rice at a small profit.
Linda tells us that after 'the time of Pol Pot', each household was left with an equal slice of land. Over time, some of the poorer families have been forced to sub-divide their fields and sell pockets of land to their neighbours, which has produced a cruel cycle of hunger and poverty.
Adding to their woes, the rain arrived late in Takeo this season, which has stunted some of the rice crops and compromised many families' harvests.
The impacts of a bad yield will be felt for the rest of the year. In a village of around 500 families, many live hand-to-mouth. The 10 poorest households receive food aid from the local monastery, Linda explains, but there is no system of support for the families who haven't harvested enough rice to feed their children.
Takeo lives and breathes rice for three months of the year, when everyone pitches in to help with first transplanting the seedlings and later harvesting the grains. For the remaining nine months, there is simply not enough rain (or satisfactory irrigation) to sustain any food crops, so most of the fields go barren.
Without a field to tend, many people find themselves out of work.
The history of weaving in Takeo
Traditionally, weaving has served to fill this gap between the rice harvest and transplanting seasons. In other districts of Takeo, wooden looms can still be found under most stilted houses – but in Tram Kak, weaving has all but disappeared as a supplementary source of income.
Linda has childhood memories of her grandmother weaving at home, passing her knowledge down to her daughter and granddaughter through osmosis. When the looms disappeared (sometimes as a direct result of the Khmer Rouge and the hardships of that period), this transfer of knowledge ceased.
The next generation of women never took up weaving for love nor for money.
The Weavers Project
Spurred by the belief that weaving might once again be a viable source of income for women in Tram Kak, The Weavers Project has stepped in to preserve and restore weaving techniques.
Each weaver who works at the Village must first undergo intensive training, as she comes to the Project without any prior knowledge of how to operate a loom. The Village currently employs a team of eight full-time weavers with plans to expand to 10 women in the near future.
Linda proudly shows off the Village's newest arrival: a frame loom built in Prey Kbba District, where carpenters still practice the art of loom building. All the weavers are women in their middle-age; the youngest is 35 and the eldest is 50.
Linda tells us that weaving is perceived by the community as a profession suited only to older women – something she and Paul are hoping to change for reasons I'll explain later.
What's on the loom?
The Weavers Project takes orders for a number of well-known Cambodian fashion labels – including Tonlé, Watthan, A.N.D., and Kambuja Trading Co. Since skill levels aren't yet high enough to handle temperamental silk, the Project deals exclusively with cotton.
On the day we visited, most women were weaving scarves or longer lengths of fabric. Raw cotton skeins are imported from Vietnam and coloured here at the Village with coconut husk, tree bark, indigo and other natural dyes. This year, Paul and Linda have been experimenting with growing their own cotton crop, with a view to making their textiles 100% local.
By partnering with successful brands, Paul and the Project receive a steady stream of orders. Linda explains the process of creating a basic striped scarf – one of the most popular designs made here.
Setting up the warp takes approximately two working days, with each warp producing around 30 individual pieces. Each woman can weave an average of two scarves per day, which is a total output of more than 5,000 textiles annually – not bad for a relatively small team!
As with most co-ops, weavers are paid per item and earn around 150-160 USD per month. All the weavers live close by and commute to work, thus limiting their living expenses. There are benefits for staff beyond a steady income, including flexible working hours, healthy workplace conditions, and time off during the rice harvest.
Weaving and the garment industry
I've been thinking lately about the relationship between Cambodia's ready-made garment industry (by far the country's largest employer of young women) and traditional handicrafts like weaving.
When I ask Linda for her thoughts, she offers a few anecdotes about women she's worked with. One young woman, Linda offers by way of example, came to the Village looking for a job, underwent the full training process, but then resigned after just three months of weaving.
Like so many others, she left Takeo for Phnom Penh and a job in a garment factory. From Linda's perspective, many women are attracted to the factories by the promise of a higher (comparatively speaking) income – but they often forget about the high cost of living in the city that chews up most of a garment workers' monthly wage.
Linda and Paul are set on attracting younger weavers to the Project, but with most of the village's women migrating to the city for work, it's difficult to find willing hands.
I chatted briefly to a group of teenage students outside the Hope for Hapiness schoolroom one afternoon; none of them were interested in a career in weaving.
Families in Takeo are large, usually with four or more children. Linda tells us that only 20% or so of children in this part of the country receive a decent education, with most kids leaving school before they finish grade nine. The young women inevitably head for the garment factories, while the young men (and their fathers, too) work as day labourers on construction sites.
Encouraging more young women to stay in Takeo and earn an income through weaving would no doubt change the dynamics of the community quite drastically.
I see a lot of potential in Paul, Siphen and Linda's vision to promote weaving as a way of making households more self-sufficient.
Getting to Cambodian Weaving Village from Phnom Penh
Takeo is located south of Phnom Penh, roughly halfway between the capital and Kampot. To get there, you can either travel by train, local bus, or private car.


text: Dennis and I had a somewhat more adventurous evening than usual. After coming back from the clinic yesterday, I started shaking uncontrollably (rigors) and spiked a fever, almost up to 102 degrees. Off to the hospital at 7pm for three kinds of intravenous antibiotics. Duke has a pretty efficient system wherein the transplant patients are directly admitted to an inpatient BMT unit without having to wait in the Emergency Department or registration area and potentially be exposed to hospital bugs. The inpatient BMT unit also has a 3 door sealed system with its own air filtration system to prevent infection transfer. Unfortunately, they were having a tad bit of trouble with their new EMR system last night, so they didn't release me until 2am. Yawn! We are back at clinic on Day 11, and I'm now getting phosphorus and potassium infusions and a red blood cell tranfusion also. The good news though, is that my white count is up to 0.4, which means my stem cells are engrafting (yeah!!). Hopefully, now my throat will start healing and I can start eating real food again!

Things I Once Worried About (But Have Since Given Up On)
Ahhh......to be a first time mom again.
The joy.
The wonder.
The worry.
The stress.
Oh yes, there is far too much worry when you first discover you are one of the sole people responsible for raising a soft mound of cooing flesh into a fully functioning, successful, and otherwise perfect adult.
The stress! The all consuming terror of it all!
Never fear though ladies- I am an experienced mother of four! My oldest is actually like seven or something and I would love to let you know what you no longer need to stress out about. I would like nothing more than to save you the worry and time wasted freaking out that you could avoid if you only listened to me! So, without further ado, HERE is your list...
1) Public urination
Don't worry, I am not talking about me. I hardly EVER pee in public. The same however cannot be said for my children. In the very recent past my almost three year old has peed at the park twice, in the parking lot after a library presentation, ("I go here mom, OK?!" she said as she squatted) in a Walmart parking lot (just doing my part, pissing on corporate America), in the flower bed at another park, and in my driveway.
My husband says that I shouldn't allow this kind of behavior and that it is illegal and we may all get arrested at any moment. As I mentioned, I refuse to worry about stuff like this. Unless your child has the bladder of a camel and waits to potty train until they are five or six, they will pee in public. When kids have to go potty, they HAVE TO GO. You have about a five second window from the shaky dance to a warm puddle.
A worry free mom embraces the fact that urine is fairly clean and just goes with the flow. She realizes that: A) there is often not a nearby bathroom B) if there is it is most likely NASTY C) kids have tiny bladders D) they still need to be hydrated and lastly, E) pee is better on the ground than in your hot car.
Your kid will pee in public. But I am pretty sure it is a misdemeanor.
2) Indecent exposure
This time I am talking about MOM indecent exposure. I remember the first time I attempted "public nursing". It was memorable.
I was in the "doctor's office" (this was before my family when crazy alternative medicine/my body works and all that mumbo jumbo) waiting to be called in for the three day checkup. Pediatricians, while doctors, seem NOT to know that MILK comes in on the third day postpartum. So as I sit with my gargantuan breasts that will not fit in any bra I have or have ever owned, the baby gets hungry. And then.....and then the waterfall starts. As I struggle to attach the baby under a blanket so nobody sees my swollen cantaloupes, milk just starts POURING out of me. (Don't get me wrong, I am grateful for the miracle of ample supply.) Within seconds I am soaked to my waist. (I know I exaggerate a lot but I am not exaggerating right now.)
Meanwhile my flailing baby is wondering why he is suffocating under a blanket.
Now, when they need to nurse I just feed them. I am discreet. (My husband is really actually kind of cute in his concern over the idea of other people catching a glimpse of my nipple. This always cracks me up.) But I know too that it is kind of difficult to nurse a new baby under a cover when you need to see what is going on and it is virtually impossible when they are bigger and want to see you and the rest of the world. I have also abandoned the idea of the "sexy breast" because that is a secondary function much of the time (oh and because of stretch marks and gravity- shhhhhh).
Make yourself and your baby comfortable and remember that people will probably not notice or they will look away. Breastfeeding is normal and not worth worry if it is actually working for you.
3) The terrible twos
You know who coined the phrase, "terrible twos"? Somebody who had never met a three year old- that's who.
I have actually heard new moms worry about their babies growing into two year olds because the age really gets some bad press. You know what though- it isn't that big of a deal.
A two year old is a unique creature. They have their own mind, their own opinions, they sleep less, they are becoming aware of their ability to manipulate their surroundings, they are physically able to walk and climb, but they have limited verbal ability. Sometimes that verbal ability is limited to the word, "No". Or should I say, "NNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
True, your sweet sleeping infant now has their own two year old agenda and it won't always jive with yours. The good news is there are a lot of awesome things about a two year old like they can do things for themsleves and they can play and get a drink and go to grandma's house.
The bad news is three is hard and four and five and six and seven (and that is as far as I have gotten) are all hard too. But I am pretty sure at this point that EVERY age and EVERY phase has good and bad things about it. I am also pretty sure it goes better if we worry less and enjoy more. You will figure it out and then something else will happen.
That is life and that is kids. Always challenging but always learning.
4) Poop
Remember when poop was this nasty thing that went in toilets? I do, but barely. Now I have cleaned it out of carpet, off tile, walls, legs, fingers, even hair. Sometimes I talk to people who are afraid of the "naked method" of potty training because they are still grossed out by poop.
You get over it.
OK, I still do find it gross but it is so very everyday and such a part of my life, I kind of feel like a 12 year old boy who just CAN'T stop joking about bowel movements.
I've got to be going- I have another dirty cloth diaper to swish in the toilet! Whoot!
5) Macaroni and cheese
I think there was a time when I felt guilty and worried about the plight of humanity if I dared feed my kids boxed macaroni and cheese.
Then I had baby number four.
I have to admit that I pretty much freak out now if I look in the pantry and there is NO mac and cheese. It is a quick lunch that everybody eats. I ease my guilt by buying the organic kind. (Because as you know, if it is organic, it must be really awesome for you, even if it comes in a box with magic powdered cheese.) I also throw in a few raw eggs when the noodles are hot, stir them around until they cook, and voila! a protein filled lunch!
Now I just feel smart when I feed them mac and cheese, not guilty.
6) Everything else
Messy faces (bound to happen), mismatched clothes (just glad they dress themselves and have opinions), hair that isn't perfect, a flabby tummy, the list just goes on and on. And we still survive. And so will you.
In the end, I believe the key to motherhood happiness is actually giving up on perfection and embracing mediocrity, while at the same time still caring enough to get out of bed, laugh, and make dinner, and then laugh some more. Then, if we are lucky, it all works itself out. And if we are REALLY lucky then no police officer will ever witness our children defecating in public parks while we breastfeed a squirming infant held in our stretch-marked lap.
(Disclaimer- Lest this appears to be me thinking I have wisdom or something silly like that, don't worry. Whenever I think I have things figured out it all falls apart. Usually on a freshly mopped floor during a typhoid epidemic or something equally disastrous. Never fear, life keeps me humble despite my best attempts at thinking I know which way is up.)

Our Tests
Also known as: IGH/MAF FISH, t(14;16) FISH« Back to test list
Gene fusions involving the IGH gene at 14q32 and the MAF gene at 16q23 are seen in multiple myeloma. The identification of such fusions can assist in the diagnosis and classification of this disease.
Clinical Utility
Presence of an IGH-MAF rearrangement is a sign of poor prognosis in myeloma.
This is an assay for non-heritable mutations. It does not raise issues of ethics or consent that are different from most other investigations ordered in the routine care of a patient.
Test Method
Fluorescent in situ hybridisation (FISH) analysis using probes to identify fusion of the IGH with MAF gene due to a t(14;16)(q32;q23) translocation.
Test Ordering
This test is usually requested by a haematologist or oncologist.
0.5 mL bone marrow in transport media, or 5-10 mL blood in lithium heparin.
To help ensure the quality of the test, a genetic test should be done with a dedicated sample whenever possible i.e. a sample collected specifically for that test rather than a sample that is used for multiple tests.
We also recommend that the patient or another adult check the labelling of request forms and sample tubes.

Being motivated is something we know is good for us. In order to get things done consistently, we must have drive and motivation to do the things we want to do.
The truth is we all lose motivation at some point. If we remain unmotivated for extended periods of time, it will have some ramifications on what we are doing or what we want to do.
Therefore, it is highly advantageous to know what some of the possible causes are for losing motivation and how to turn it around.

The Irish Climate
Ireland is green. The reason for this is deceptively simple; the land gets a lot of rain.
With lots of mystery and beauty in so much greenery my grandfather used to tell us kids stories about many different mythical creatures that originated from Ireland. I think the funniest one he told was that the Tooth Fairy was Irish. Not that my siblings and I are all grown up we joke that perhaps our Papi was just a bit of a drunk, and many of these stories he made up in a tipsy frenzy as entertainment for us but more likely entertaining for himself! No one holds it against, rest his soul, as he was a gentle man, who did tell some pretty wild stories that made our childhood as great as it was.
Once, you could count on the Irish climate for a gloriously temperate summer, an invigoratingly stormy spring and autumn, and a crisp winter with a touch of ice around the edges. These days are passing; temperatures are rising, weather extremes are increasing in frequency and severity, and erosion and dryness are becoming major threats.
Here in Texas, the climate is quite different, but we've seen similar but more subtle storytelling tactics by some Texas trucking companies when one of their drivers has been involved in a serious big rig accident. Texas law firms encourage victims of serious truck accidents to contact experienced Texas truck accident lawyers as soon as possible after the accident so the law firm can get their specialists out in the field to not only take photos of the vehicles and other physical evidence from the scene, but also to question witnesses and other law enforcement officers or paramedics who were first responders. The trucking company and their lawyers would rather have the weather and traffic passing over the same road obliterate the evidence before the victim's investigators can get to the scene, particularly when their driver and truck is at fault. Dirty tactics by large companies against the little folk is unfortunately very common throughout the world, not just in Texas.
The climate and environment of Ireland, famed from time immemorial, is suffering from the exploitation of international companies such as Shell. It is known that Shell employs their own 'security forces. By using force and 'dirty tricks', whenever and wherever possible they often successfully intimidate and silence the opposition.
Already we see Ireland's crops showing signs of decline. Already we see rapid destruction of coastal areas due to increased water levels and more severe weather events. This is not merely a problem for policy-makers and businessmen, this is a threat to all that is Irish, and therefore to all the world — for a world without Ireland is a house without a garden.

If you're facing oral surgery to have your wisdom teeth extracted, the recovery can be worrisome. After all, if you'll be taking pain medication, you'll want to be able to keep something in your stomach. While your doctor will provide you with some basic instructions to follow post-surgery, you'll still want to be able to plan ahead. Here are a few tips to help you get through each stage of your extraction recovery.
The Day Of Surgery
For at least the first 24 hours of your surgery, you'll be working through the worst of the pain from the extractions. Stock up on foods that don't require chewing so you don't risk getting any particles of food in the sockets.
Opt for foods like soup, ice cream, yogurt and applesauce during this phase. You may also find that you can drink smoothies, but you'll have to drink them from the glass instead of a straw. Sucking on a straw during this time may cause the blood clots in the sockets to dislodge, causing dry socket.
The Next Few Days
In the next couple of days after the extractions, you'll probably experience some swelling in the area of the extractions. As things start to improve, you will probably develop a bit more of an appetite. When that happens, you'll want to look for foods that have a bit more substance. Just remember to stick with soft food like soft-cooked pasta, baked potato, beans and scrambled eggs. Eat in small bites so that you can keep the food out of the sockets left behind after the extraction. While these next few days may still be a bit challenging, just remember that you shouldn't skip meals, because your body needs the nutrients to continue healing.
The Next Week
As you reach the end of the first week following the extractions, you'll find that the pain eases significantly and may even be gone. The less pain you feel, the easier it will be to start returning to your regular diet. Just make sure you take it slow. Don't add anything hard or tough to eat right away. The muscles in your jaw will probably be somewhat sore both from the surgery and from the lack of use during your recovery.

What Does It Mean To Abide Above
October 30, 2013
What does Abiding Above mean, you might ask?
Abiding means to remain, wait for, to be held or kept. For the Christian it speaks of resting in the Holy Spirit Who lives inside of you. Letting Him control you by living His life in you and through you.
As Dr. Stephen Olford used to say, The Holy Spirit; "Looks through your eyes, listens with your ears, loves others with your heart, serves others with your hands, and walks in your steps."
What does Above mean? Above speaks of the Believer's heavenly position in Christ.
The Apostle Paul said in Colossians 3:1-3 – "If then your were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God."
My friend, Paul is saying that when Christ died, you died, when He was buried you were buried and when He was raised from the dead your were raised and when He ascended to heaven you ascended and when He sat down at the right hand of the Father you sat down with Him. When God the Father looks to His right hand, He sees Christ, and you in Him, clothed with His righteousness. This is your heavenly position. This is what Paul means when He says, "Seek and set your mind above." My friend, to enjoy a heavenly life on earth you only need to Abide Above.

Guyana Beaches face the Atlantic Ocean on the northeast of the South American continent. Guyana shares borders with Suriname, Brazil and Venezuela.
It is the only English speaking country in South America, with a coastal belt that stretches for more than 400 Km with a few beaches.
In addition the many rivers that flow into the Atlantic, also offer a few beach options. In the tropics, the weather is warm year round.
Shell Beach in Guyana is the most renowned beach
This is Guyana's best known beach that extends for 140 Km of the country's coastline near Venezuela in the Barima Waini region. True to its name the beach is full of shells. It is good for swimming.
But, the claim to fame of this beach is that every year from early spring to midsummer four of the world's eight turtle species swim to the beach to lay their eggs among the shells. They are the giant leatherback, the hawksbill, the olive riley and the green turtle.
This area ecosystem features many birds ideal for birdwatchers. As you may see this beach is not great for swimming but rather for an adventure into Ecotourism. Do not explore the area by yourself. Seek help for the experts.
Number 63 Beach one of Guyana Beaches
This is one of the Caribbean's longest beaches located near Corriverton at the mouth of the Corentyne River in the area of Berbice, near the border with Suriname.
It is a popular beach for locals during the weekends, which come here to have a good time of games and food and of course some swimming.
There are certain facilities as changing rooms and donkey carts pass along with refreshments. The new Berbice River Bridge now makes it much easier to get to Corentyne and ultimately to the beach.
Essequibo River in Guyana third largest in South America
The Essequibo River is the third largest river in South America. As it nears the Atlantic, the mouth widens to 32 Km, and hundreds of islands dot the river landscape.
The river offers three beach options, one close to the ocean, and two further inland.
Bartica the Gateway to Guyana's Interior
Located on the north side banks of the Essequibo River it is known as the "Gateway to Guyana's Interior". Bartica is a small town of just 10,000 residents, on the banks of the river.
It is the venue for the annual regatta in March, attracting thousands of revelers who camp on the banks of the river to watch the races.
Saxacalli Beach on the Essequibo River
This is another beach on the Essequibo River, 40 Km from Parika and 80 Km from Georgetown, the capital of Guyana.
It is one of the best inland beaches of this small country. It also features the Saxacalli Rainforest Centre where you may take guided hikes or canoe rides up the river. Several tour companies organize day excursions from Georgetown to the beach and nearby Marshall Falls.
For more information visit Guyana Tourism website
Emancipation Day in Hamburg Beach on Tiger Island
It is located on Tiger Island one of the islands on the river. It is a popular beach with locals that gather here for picnics and parties.
Every first Monday in August, more than 15,000 visitors unite for a grand Hamburg beach party in celebration of Emancipation Day.
Families and friends gather on this fun filled day to enjoy good music, games, and a refreshing dip in the cool water.

If I have posted more items recently, it's because I am on Christmas Break and am indulging myself. It's like being retired – retirement being a topic that crosses my mind more often these days, usually thumbing its nose at me as it passes on to more likely targets. But it's nice to have a long stretch with no particular responsibilities. Of course, I should be prepping for next term, but that can wait until the weekend, when we kick off the New Year. (more…)

The Future of BloggingDecember 31, 2010
Taisho Baseball Girls, the animeDecember 23, 2010
Or, as the original Japanese has it, Taisho Baseball Daughters. It's a light, twelve episode anime based on a series of light novels (which evidently haven't been released in the US). The target audience is reportedly Seinen, or YA boys. I am not sure I'd agree. This is a girls sports anime all the way. Sure, there are boys, but the girls have to play somebody. I liked it, even though it was too sugary-sweet in places. This would make a great Disney movie, if only they could get a dog into it. (more…)
A Thousand ViewsDecember 13, 2010
Earlier today this blog went over the one thousand views mark. yay. One thousand views, total, including some counts that were me adding links, and yeah, OK, probably half were automatically-generated links from not-quite-spam sites, not real people.
It only took nine months. There are sites who do that daily, hourly, every minute. That's fine. I'm doing this mainly for me. But, still, thanks for stopping and taking a look.
Why I switched to Linux – A Christmas StoryDecember 10, 2010
This article from TechDirt started me thinking about my own experiences with Windows.
I have worked with Microsoft products for almost a quarter of a century. My involvement goes back to DOS and Win 2.0. When I was a contractor I built Foxpro database applications for the USAF, programming in the Foxpro version of dBase. When I was getting my Ph.D, I paid my dorm rent by working as a free-lance MS Access developer, programming genetics tracking software for OHSU. At one point I taught VB programming, until we switched to PHP. Even today, I teach Microsoft Office as part of our core business classes. What I've found is that my engagement with Microsoft has gone through three phases — enthusiasm, hatred, and contempt.
I'll skip the intervening decades of technical disappointment and ethical disillusionment, this is a Christmas story, after all. (more…)
Big Windup (part 2), the animeDecember 6, 2010
I reviewed Part 1 earlier. Having watched Part 2, all I can say is, releasing this first season into the US in two separate increments is the marketing equivalent of crimes against humanity. The second half of the season is everything the first half was, and wasn't. What's changed is that the characters have settled down, and the wimpy hero, Mihashi, becomes incredibly less wimpy, as he starts to grow into his role as ace pitcher for the team. He even gets a girl. (more…)
Thoughts on Wikileaks 3December 6, 2010
I thought I better start numbering them — you know, like world wars.
Since we are only about one tenth of one percent of the way through the leakage, I suspect we're all going to succumb to adrenaline exhaustion before this thing works its way out. I'd just like to make two quick comments on the current news.
1. Go read Clay Shirkey's post. It says everything far better than I can. In particular, the part about your position on the leaks being conditioned on your position on government. (more…)
My Grandmother's Turkey Stuffing 2 – LeftoversDecember 3, 2010
When properly made, the stuffing has a stiffness and consistency something like cold mashed potatoes (even when hot). It's not as mushy as hot mashed potatoes, and it's not as crumbly as bread stuffing. This makes it a perfect basis for leftover stuffing sandwiches. Just slice a slab off the cold stuffing and eat in a sandwich with lettuce and mayonnaise. For a special treat, cut off a thin slice of jellied cranberry sauce – the standard canned variety, and add that. No turkey meat needed.
A Leak Too Far?December 1, 2010
So, the latest massive wikileak has gone public, and now the black helicopters are out after Assange and the State Department is putting serious efforts into damage control. How will the US fare when all the dust has settled? I think, pretty well. (more…)

Pettway & Tavitian pace WNE with 19 points each
BOSTON, Mass. (December 1, 2018) – The Wentworth Institute of Technology men's basketball team overcame a 16-point second half deficit to claim an 89-81 win over Western New England University on Saturday afternoon in Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) action at Tansey Gymnasium.
Top Performers
Senior guard Mikey Pettway (Bridgeport, Conn.) and sophomore forward Zachary Tavitian (Milford, Conn.) fueled the Golden Bears offensively with 19 points each. Tavitian made 7-of-10 field goals, including 5-of-8 from beyond the arc, while Pettway recorded seven assists, two rebounds and two steals.
Junior guard Mike McGuire (Garden City, N.Y.) chipped in with 13 points, and freshman guard Antonio Brancato (Fairfield, Conn.) added ten points with a team-high six boards in 25 minutes off the bench.
Wentworth sophomore guard Gavin Keough (Dunstable, Mass.) provided a spark off the bench for the Leopards with a game-high 20 points on 6-of-9 shooting from the field (5-of-8 from three-point range) and 3-of-4 from the charity stripe.
Junior forward Stephen Azums (Hyde Park, Mass.) paced Wentworth's starting unit with 18 points, eight rebounds, one steal, one assist and one block in 25 minutes of action.
Game Review
Wentworth scored the first nine points of the game, before Western New England responded with an 11-0 run that culminated in a Tavitian three-pointer that gave the Golden Bears their first lead with 14:35 left in the half.
Five straight points from Brancato later in the half gave Western New England its largest lead of the frame (29-22) with 7:23 to play, but the Leopards surged back ahead with a 9-0 run to claim a 31-29 edge. The home team would hold a three-point lead (37-34) at the break.
After posting a 6-0 run to start the second half, the Golden Bears continued to add to their lead, which grew as large as 16 (60-44) following back-to-back triples by Tavitian just over six minutes into the frame.
Western New England still held a 12-point cushion (67-55) midway through the half, but Wentworth began to slowly chip away at its deficit.
The Leopards closed to within five (69-64) on a Joseph Hecker (Bloomfield Hills, Mich.) three-pointer at the 7:07 mark, before a Keough triple with 5:37 to play made it a two-point game (71-69).
The home team took the lead for good (74-73) on a pair of Kyle Henseler (Coventry, R.I.) free throws with just under four minutes remaining, and senior Zach Bergeon (Litchfield, N.H.) completed a traditional three-point play with 1:28 to play to push Wentworth's lead to four (79-75).
Leading by the same score with less than a minute on the clock, the Leopards all but secured the win when Azums missed a layup, before junior Ellis Christmas (Elmsford, N.Y.) grabbed an offensive board and found Henseler for a three-pointer. Wentworth sealed the contest with seven made free throws over the final 32 seconds.
• The Leopards outrebounded the Golden Bears 40-32.
• Wentworth's bench outscored the Western New England reserves 35-17.
Up Next
Both teams will be back in action on Tuesday, as Western New England (2-5, 0-2 CCC) travels to Gordon and Wentworth (2-4, 1-1 CCC) plays at UNE.

Good Morning Louise,
I just wanted to give you a little update on our Labradoodle, Scout. She is now 1 year old, and is the perfect little lady. She loves to run and swim with us during the day, and cuddle up on the couch with us at night. We could not have found a better fit for our family, and cannot imagine life without her!
We tell everyone we know that they should own a Labradoodle.
Thank you,

Maybe this is not the time to try to think through the medium-term outlook of an asset class (but it's easier to resume writing on this than to comment on the 90% tax on bonuses…). But I think one of the most interesting questions to think about is which countries will fare better than others. In other words, as the dust settles, differentiation will begin, and the distribution of spreads will widen, some EM currencies will revert to their FX appreciating trends leaving pears behind, and local interest rates will only come off further in countries with strong aggregate balance sheets.
This all sounds very fine, but if we are having a hard time thinking through G7 phenomena, how can we predict who will outperform? I do not intend to pin point specific countries, but I do think EM will become a bifurcated asset class. In other words, I think the stylized economic and political phenomena that made it a group had started to fizzle before this crisis. This crisis is emphasizing the differences.
Not to go on a historical tangent, but post the 1982 default en masse episode and for about 20 years EM had a few very strong set of unifying common features. Most countries exhibited persistent fiscal deficits, usually financed by the inflation tax, making currencies at most the means of exchange, with hyperinflation episodes here and there. Balance of payments crises were a common occurrence, many times coupled with banking crises. Banking systems were mostly financing fiscal deficits, and monetary aggregates were volatile but always very low relative to any developed country. Economies were fairly closed most of the time, over-regulated and inefficient. Relative prices unstable, providing volatile incentives/signals on which sectors made sense to invest in.
During the 1990s many of these economic diseases started to be cured, most importantly the over-regulation and trade closeness (reforms). The current decade has seen the recovery of fiscal discipline in some, and the ensuing appearance of strong local currencies and debt markets.
But the important issue here, more than providing a reckoning of the 90s and the current decade, is that now there seems to be two sets of countries (being slightly simplistic for the sake of the argument). There is a group of countries with credible currencies, large and growing local markets (with curves beyond the 10y tenor, and liquid swaps markets), and most recently the unprecedented capacity to think and announce counter-cyclical policies a la G7. Those countries had taken advantage of the commodities windfall to work on their sovereign liabilities such that FX exposure has fallen significantly, reduced and replaced by local debt. Moreover, some have become net creditors of G7 due to their large reserve accumulation. Finally, and maybe more importantly, this crisis has not shaken the consensus around a few important core economic principles, which are allowing the convergence to G7 standards of living (and capital/labor ratios).
On the other side, there is a group of countries that are suffering or about to suffer again the same economic diseases they had during the 1980s. More importantly, the policy stance is actually accelerating the return to the past.
I think the ongoing financial crisis is bound to increase these discrepancies, making the analysis/trading/investment/business design of EM a bifurcated exercise. The nature of the analysis is different for a country like Brazil, which has a credible inflation targeting scheme, is a net creditor of G7 and continues to show large FDI, than a country like Argentina. The instruments to trade, the type of trades, and therefore the ensuing liquidity of markets are and will be increasingly different.
Thus, will there be an EM asset class 5-10 years down the road? For now the investor base is fairly unified and there are institutional reasons why it will remain like that for some time. But global macro investors are more and more involved into the former group, making the latter group of countries a niche. Moreover, local markets real money funds are more and more devoted almost only to the converging group. Those funds are most likely the key area of growth on the buy side, which will mark this bifurcation.

Beebe Emergency Department
Beebe Healthcare's Emergency Department is located at the Margaret H. Rollins Lewes Campus. Beebe is Creating the Next Generation of Care by building a new freestanding Emergency Department at the new South Coastal Health Campus near Millville.
As a Level III trauma center, the Emergency Department has the capability to initially manage the majority of injured patients, and it has transfer agreements with higher-level centers of care.
Beebe Healthcare also is connected to a statewide Trauma Network that includes ground and air ambulance equipment, personnel, and paramedics, as well as medical centers, that can be accessed through the 911 telephone number. Always call 911 in a life-threatening emergency.
Beebe's Emergency Department
An emergency situation, by definition, is unexpected. Patients occupying the Emergency Department's 37 beds during a typical 24-hour period didn't expect a sudden need for medical attention. More than 50,000 patients a year visit the Emergency Department. Many patients have been involved in a recreational, workplace, or highway accident. Some experience potentially life-threatening symptoms. Others have conditions that demand attention before their regular physicians can give them an appointment. A number of patients simply have nowhere else to turn for medical care.
Determining who sees a doctor first is the job of the triage nurse. Triage is a sorting out according to the seriousness of your illness or injury. While waiting cannot be eliminated entirely, the Emergency Department (ED) staff hopes improved communication will make the stay in the waiting room more bearable. A staff member acts as a liaison to patients in the waiting room, bringing frequent updates on how cases are progressing and providing an estimate of how much longer individuals must wait.
The ED has also opened the treatment area so that a family member or friend can accompany a patient, which eases anxiety for everyone involved.
Also offered through the ED in Lewes is the Beebe Healthcare Family Life program, which includes:
Domestic Violence Victim's Advocate program
Beebe Healthcare's Department of Emergency Services at 424 Savannah Road in Lewes is open year-round, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for the treatment of emergencies and illnesses. Our caring, competent physicians, nurses and support staff are ready to care for you and your family members.

13 Surprising Facts About Pregnancy That Will Make You Appreciate Moms Even More
Posted on Jun 20, 2016
Each and every one of us came to this world from their mother's womb, and that is one of the great miracles of life. Mothers have endured a lot just by carrying us for months during pregnancy, and yet there are so many things which aren't common knowledge. Check out these 13 surprising pregnancy facts.
1. The Glow
Due to excess estrogen production during pregnancy, a woman's skin tends to glow. Thicker hair and stronger nails are also a side-effect.

Wisdom has it that this is good for exports but there is no sign of any more British goods in the shops in Sweden. There are a few newspaper articles promoting the UK as a travel destination but that's about it.
If I were you I wouldn't start from hereOne effect of the loose monetary policy has been to keep UK land prices at an excessively high level, and regular visitors to this site will know what that does. We suggest that the authorities are getting their policies completely wrong, but then again, our advice would be not to start from here.

Providence presses on with Druid well plans
Irish oil and gas exploration company Providence Resources has been given consent to progress to the second phase of the Frontier Exploration Licence (FEL) 2/14 in the southern Porcupine Basin, offshore Ireland.
The FEL 2/14 drilling project lies in 2,250-meter water depth in the southern Porcupine Basin and is located some 220 kilometers off the southwest coast of Ireland.
The license is operated by Providence Resources (80%) on behalf of its partner Sosina Exploration (20%). FEL 2/14 contains the Paleocene Druid and the Lower Cretaceous Drombeg exploration prospects.
Providence said on Monday that Ireland's Minister of Communications, Climate Action, and Environment, Denis Naughten, gave his consent for the progression to the second phase of the license development.
The second phase is subject to the completion of the agreed work program which includes the drilling of the 53/6-A exploration well on the Paleocene Druid prospect and the subsequent integration of the well data into a comprehensive assessment of the petroleum potential of the license.
In November 2016, the company signed a drilling contract for the provision of the Stena IceMAX drillship to drill an exploration well in FEL 2/14 during 2017.
The drilling contract provides for one firm well, plus an additional option for the drilling of a second follow-on well. The Stena IceMAX is a harsh environment dual derrick drillship designed to operate in water depths of up to three kilometers. The operational rate agreed for the rig is $185,000 per day.
Providence also said that other key service contracts are being finalized for the drilling operations for the planned 53/6-A exploration well. Based on the latest project timeline and, subject to standard regulatory approvals and consents, the 53/6-A exploration well is currently planned to spud in June 2017.
Tony O'Reilly, CEO of Providence, said: "We are pleased to have received this confirmation from the government on the license progression as we continue to move forward with all the necessary works to enable the drilling of this high impact exploration well during summer 2017."

The first three A's of identity management I learned were something like:
- Authentication
- Authorization
- Auditing
These A's helped me explain identity management to customers at a conceptual level, but rarely helped me deliver the solutions to the problems I was tasked with (I'm not a strategy consultant – I design and deliver working stuff).
Recently I realized that I spend a LOT of time on a different three A's:
- Arrange
- Act
- Assert
If you follow my blog you know the first A's but get bonus points for knowing the second set.
Identity management tends to be solutions to automate the integration disparate systems and their identities. Any crafted solution must have a measure of quality. Small systems deployed by one person may get by without it, but measuring quality is critical to systems especially when team development is involved. This is obvious to development teams, but onerous for deployment teams. Over the years I've grown from onerous to frustratingly obvious. Frustrating because testing has such a negative connotation, and is perceived as a tax nobody wants to pay.
So if you find yourself in the business of deploying identity solutions such as FIM, I suggest adding time to your projects for test automation. No, it won't be easy. You will deliver slower at first, but your test automation turtle will win the race.
BTW – some of the test helpers I use are already available on CodePlex, my favourites are:

The Trial to Reduce Insulin Dependent Diabetes in the Genetically at Risk ('TRIGR') will determine whether weaning to a formula in which (foreign) proteins have been extensively hydrolysed, reduces disease risk for type 1 Diabetes (T1D) in genetically susceptible children, as it does in rodent models.
The Specific Aims are: I-a: To determine whether weaning to a hydrolysed casein formula (Nutramigen"""""""") reduces the frequency of diabetes-predictive autoantibodies, and I-b: To determine whether weaning to casein hydrolysate reduces the frequency of clinical diabetes. This double blind, randomized controlled trial in subjects with an affected first-degree relative and risk- associated HLA genotypes is currently in its 9th year. An international, multicenter consortium has been developed comprising 77 centers in 15 countries. Enrollment of 2160 eligible infants was completed successfully, providing a cushion above the required 2032 infants. The 6-8 month intervention designed to compare the effects of either hydrolyzed casein or standard cow milk based weaning formula was completed in 2007. Duration of breast-feeding at the mothers'discretion was similar to or above background populations All subjects are followed during and after the intervention period for at least 10 years with measurements of serological markers of intact cow milk exposure, diabetes predictive autoantibodies (the end point at age 6 years) and the clinical and/or metabolic indices of diabetes (the end point at age 10 years). Currently all planning parameters have been met and drop out rates are <2% with compliance at expected levels. A large, cross-linked repository of stored sera, DNA, T-cell data, and cryopreserved peripheral blood mononuclear cells allows independently funded ancillary and mechanistic studies related to the natural history of prediabetes and the hypothesis to be tested. This application covers years 11-15 for the International Coordinating Center and the Core Autoantibody Laboratory at the University of Helsinki and for the study centers in Europe and Australia for this 17 year study which is submitted in tandem with those of the US coordinating center and clinical centers and that of the Data Management Unit.
Cow milk protein is the most common intact foreign weaning protein in humans. If our intervention is effective in delaying autoimmunity or ultimately its progression to clinical diabetes, this first ever primary prevention study of T1D, will have far-reaching impact for individuals and the global society.

After Valentine's Day last week, I started thinking a lot about marriage. About yours, mine and those that surround us. About the neurochemistry in our brains that causes two people to click. About how marriage looks in the suburbs. About the future of marriage as we know it. I mean, is it important at all to even be married? And most importantly, to me anyway, what it takes to keep a good thing going.
Recent brain science tells us some pretty cool stuff about coupling and why we are drawn to our partners. There are four personality types as defined by preeminent "love" researcher, Helen Fisher, a bio-anthropologist at Rutgers University. There are builders, who are focused on family and who they know. There are explorers, who thrive on adventure and doing. There are negotiators, whose passion is introspection and who are interested most in feelings and finally, directors whose focus is intelligence and thinking it through. (Single ladies! Or not! Find out which you are here). Mostly we are drawn to others of the same type but apparently any type can match up and be successful if you are willing to do the work you need to do. Like swallowing the fact that you are not right all the time. And ignoring that irritating little thing he does with his lip when he's looking for a parking spot.
Does it sometimes feel like things are fucked up in marriage land? When I was growing up, people waited to have kids until they got married. Not many parents were divorced, but the numbers seemed to go up and up as I got older. A lot of people waited until they got married to have sex. (I don't know many of those people, but I know they existed.) Also, "cougar" type couplings were pretty rare and, at the time, men were still the expected breadwinners. None of this seems to exist anymore, which mostly is a good thing. Nowadays (do only old people say "nowadays?"), it seems, people have babies without getting married. Or ever planning to get married. They get divorced and remarry all the time! It's not even a big deal. Women are heads of households all over the place! In terms of female sexuality, it's actually women who are more turned on by novelty than men. Really! Is everything I was taught about marriage passe? Am I, in fact, a dinosaur? Are my notions of marriage quaint? While I think lots of these things are great, why do I cling to the whole "til death do us part?" When I look at my wedding photo, I see a much less worn version of me: my hair it's natural brunette without a hint of gray, my smooth skin, flat pre-baby belly and my lovestruck eyes. Hell yes, I can see how my perspective is a little, well, dated.
Now, I am going to do some cheerleading here for long-term romantic relationships, so be prepared. Yes, "hook-ups" with someone new are exciting. Ah the stomach flipping, the obsession, the constant checking of your messages, the staring at each other for hours. There's nothing like new love. Except, as it turns out, old love. In new studies on long-term pairings, Helen Fisher has discovered that some of the feelings we have when we are hot on that new stud are interpreted by the brain in the very same manner as those of us who remain with our tried-and-true. This area, known as the VTA (ventral tegmental area) , is responsible for how we respond to food, money, drugs and other highly addictive goodies. That's right, babe. Everything old is new again.
In the study, people were shown photos of their long term partners. Their brains were hooked up to see which areas lit up and bam! Neural activity jumped in areas of the brains that process rewards, motivation, reinforcement learning and, get this, survival. This means that the same guy who can't get a dirty shirt into the laundry basket to save his life actually sustains your life. Wow. The studies also showed that these partnerships were associated with proximity seeking (wanting to be together), alleviating stress, greater calm in face of adversity and improving responses to pain. As far as sexual frequency, the long term couples' brains equated cravings like hunger with a need for sex. So whether you get hungry once, twice or 7 days a week, you want it. Bad. Now, it should be stated that the couples involved in the study were actually in love and not in one of those marriages where you wonder, "how the hell did that happen?"
Anyone who has been in a relationship for an extended period of time knows that there are ups and downs. Sometimes the spark gets dull. And sometimes it is hot. All long term relationships go through this, and it's part of the natural ebb and flow of a relationship that stands the test of time. After all, don't the lows make you appreciate the highs even more? Sometimes I think how great it would be if we were back to the time when we first met, with all the new gooey love. Not being able to sleep or eat! Sheer in-loveness! Staying in bed all day! Starting a movie at 10 pm! Sometimes I feel nostalgic for, even envious of new love. But I wouldn't trade our now for our then; looking at the fabulous humans we created, the home we built together and the wool socks-flannel wearing-cozy-newspaper reading on a Sunday morning-kind of love we have now. So what that we are relics? I'd do it all again.
Thanks to Barbara Paulsen for the beautiful photos in this post.

I looooove television. Not just any kind of television. 60s, 70s, and 80s television. You can take your reality shows and stick 'em where Sonny from Bosom Buddies don't shine. I would rather stare at a blank screen all day than watch a reality show.
Okay, fine. Unless it was the first or second season of Bret Michaels "Rock of Love" on VH-1 because that shit was genuinely entertaining. #TeamHeather
I totally want to party with her, get arrested together, break out of jail, and live life together on the run. Or at least break out of Catholic school with her.
Then we'll get free stuff from gas stations and happen upon a strip club that has an amateur night, and I'll dress up in a men's business suit and hat, except I'll be wearing carefully applied lipstick. She'll wear a white bellbottom outfit with a sparkly bra and enter the stripper competition. I'll pull off my hat at some point during her routine, revealing that I'm actually Alicia Silverstone. Biker guys will swoon. We will win the competition and use our prize money to get a motel room for the night. The next day we will taunt a handsome man on a tractor.
I realize this is actually just an Aerosmith video that I'm describing, which doesn't make it any less important as a personal goal. Don't shit on my dream.
When I went through my Howard Hughes OCD psychotic break in 1994 and stopped leaving the house for a few months, the one thing I looked forward to more than anything was when The Love Boat would come on at 3am. I love that show so freaking much. The problem was that between midnight and 3am, there was jack squat on TV. I could buy some time if there was a good guest on one of the late night talk shows, but for the most part, it was a lot of sitting around and waiting.
I suppose I could have done, I don't know, something besides sit around and wait for a television show to come on, maybe read a book or "think about the future" or whatever, but I had fallen so far down the well I couldn't even be bothered to shower more than once every two weeks at that point. Reading a book or doing anything constructive might as well have been climbing a mountain. Everything was too daunting.
I would get so anxious in those hours waiting for The Love Boat to come on, wishing and praying more than anything that time would just move faster. This was before I got any kind of treatment for my OCD, so when I got anxious like that, I got extra compelled.
Obsessively compelled, that is. Black gold. Texas tea.
Shut up. You don't have to quote The Beverly Hillbillies theme song. We get it. You like TV.
Hang on, though. This one's my favorite. Perfect Strangers theme song:
🎵 Standing taaaall on the wings of my dreams. Rise and faaaaall, on the wings of my dreams. Rain, thunder, wind and haze, I'm bound for better days. It's my life. Myyyy dream. Nothin's gonna stop me now. (Harmonica part.) 🎵
You are the literal worst.
Every four minutes between midnight and 3am, my OCD would make me do a security check in the house where I would go room to room to make sure all the windows were closed, all the doors were locked, and all cabinets, closets, bathtubs, and under-bed areas were free of psycho killers. Light switches, door knobs, anything along the way had to be touched between four and sixty-four times until it felt "right".
At every four minutes, this translated to fifteen security checks per hour. But the number fifteen was deemed "bad" by my brain, so I had to do another quick check right before the hour was up to make it an even sixteen times.
Sixteen was a really good number that gave me momentary mental relief. Nothing felt as great as the number sixteen. Bad numbers included all prime numbers, particularly the number three, and anything that wasn't divisible by four.
Bad numbers? Oh man. Bad numbers just simply could not be tolerated. If someone on TV said the number thirty-one out loud, I would have to whisper, "Thirty-two," or else I'd become extremely uncomfortable with that thirty-one just hanging in the air.
If someone else happened to be in the room, they would say, "What? Did you just say something?" and then I would say no and tell them that they must just be hearing things.
Most people with OCD will tell you something similar to the above. There are totally innocuous things that are arbitrarily classified as "good" or "bad". Numbers in my case, obviously, but I had certain electrical cords that I deemed bad for no reason. Round foods were deemed good. Square foods, bad. Knocking on doors, good. Doorbells, bad.
This is because the very technical scientific term for OCD is "broken-assed brain". Thankfully in my case, I was able to get it fixed later down the road (mostly). My therapist said there was probably a reason buried deep somewhere that I had assigned good/bad to certain things, but that it ultimately didn't matter. OCD is illogical, and trying to apply logic to it is a waste of energy.
It was a shame I never had the cleaning compulsions that some people have or else my house would have been museum-spotless every night before The Love Boat came on.
Don't get me wrong. People who have the cleaning compulsions will often scrub floors until their fingertips split with gangrene and their nails crumble and rot down to the cuticle, so it's no picnic, either, but at the very least you get a clean floor out of it. The most my compulsions were doing for me was making sure that there wasn't a miniature psycho killer crouched in my bathroom cabinet. I mean, it's a good thing to know there wasn't one in there, but at the same time, the odds were generally pretty slim of one actually being in there to begin with. My time could have been better spent, especially given the filth I was living in.
So I would do my routines for all those hours in anticipation of The Love Boat every night, night after night. Walking around the house in my filthy Nirvana tour shirt with the glow-in-the-dark seahorses on it, checking and touching and checking and touching, and then I'd eventually put some nice, round Crispy Crowns in the oven around 1:32am (around means precisely or else you have to wait until 1:48am). I would eat the Crispy Crowns in even numbers, making sure to chew each one sixteen times on each side of my mouth, and get ready for my show to finally start.
The show was about to start!
It was finally about to start!
I was so happy as the ending credits rolled for the show that was on before The Love Boat. Yes! My show was about to start!
Then the clock would strike 3am and the theme song for The Love Boat would come on.
🎵 Love…exciting and new…come aboard…we're expecting yoooooooooou…. 🎵
I would be so elated, so relieved, and so relaxed it was finally on, that I would fall asleep halfway through the opening credits and sleep through the entire show and then be furious I had missed it.
Every night.
