(742 Posts)sign in, folks
Hoping that 2013 brings better stuff for all of us.
Signing in
2013 is going to be a good year
It better bloody be better than 2012 that's for sure! Happy new year everyone
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
had the biggest conversation about how dh really is doing (with him) for weeks and weeks. he sounds much better now, he has been on a big downer for weeks and really expects far too much from himself. we are going to have a few days away (middle of nowhere again) after his scan tomorrow, and have a few nice country and forest walks to see if we can get him a bit more active and stay chilled.
good luck to the rest of you
DP has to go to the Urologist tomorrow,referred by the GP on Christmas fucking eve.
He has a raised PSA apparently of 5.3 and will have to have a biopsy,my Mum died of cancer last August and i don't think i can cope.
He is so scared and trying to hide it and worried about me.
Echo good luck for tomorrow. What does psa stand for?
Sorry about your mum
Prostate <<something>> antigen i think.
It's something about raised hormone levels being an indicator of cancer.
We have a friend who has it and he has radioactive 'rods' inserted in his perinium and walks like a cowboy (his own words).
I don't know what we've done to deserve this,last year was crap.
Thanks for replying though.
Ditto overthemill's sentiments.
Best of luck for tomorrow echo, hopefully the news will be better than expected.
I really hope you get some good news tomorrow and have a better year.
Lol at walking like a cowboy! Did your friend get better?
My dh has Bowel cancer so he's had more than his fair share of implements inserted in 2012!
Signing in. Not sure how I am feeling about 2013 yet, as we are still in limbo til we get scan results.
Christmas was okay, we got through it, felt like a single parent most of the time.
Think I need to start exercising (with all the other January gym bunnies) to take my mind off things.
Not better but he's still here 2 years after diagnosis,he has to go for lots of follow up stuff but i'm not sure what that is.
fingers crossed for you echo that you're not joining the pathway of crap that the rest of us are on. But we're here to support each other whatever the news. I really hope for you and your dh that it's just one of those checking out and "safe side" referrals. Let us know how you get on. (we all know about that waiting thing too, get on here and ramble instead of worrying yourself stupid)
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
hmmm. I know I said that I wouldn't do that Planning thing again, nor that Going Away thing after the last lot of vomit
So we only decided today So that's not Planning is it
Hello All, definately hope things will get better in 2013 for everyone.
Fingers crossed and hand-holding for all waiting for scans/results. Echo sorry you have had to join us and about your mum. Hope you get good news, the waiting to find out is hell.
MrsS hope you manage to get a nice break away at the no planning, hope it works out!
Thought we would be free of appointments over christmas but DH managed to find a completely new reason for a hospital visit on Christmas morning - he managed to skewer his eye on the thorn of an aloe vera plant (as you do) and needed trip to A&E and follow up with eye consultant cos we don't have enough consultants and appointments in our life already staff at A&E quite bemused they actually use the plant for healing wounds and had never had someone come in injured by one thankfully he doesn't seem to have done any lasting damage.
Appt tomorrow about the radiotherapy. Hoping will go better than last one, they all seem to be disagreeing with each other on whether it should go ahead DH is supposed to decide tomorrow - he is stressed about it
oh the irony of getting injured on an Aloe plant (but just HOW??!) Will be thinking of you Turning
I'm just waiting for DH atm, he is having his CT scan. it's taking ages this time, been gone 40 mins already. They probably can't find anywhere to inject him (again) as his veins are all knackered from the chemotherapy Then he has to avoid the children for a bit as he's radioactive. Apparently they check him with a geigercounter, he thinks it's hilarious. Still wearing his hat and scarf...today's look is more glow in the dark bankrobber?
Thank goodness for the mn app
Been to see the Urologist and DP has to go for an MRI next Wednesday,hormone level are 50,whatever that means but it isn't too good.
Then for a biopsy on Tuesday 15th.
And the results about 10 days after that.
So all in all about a month til we know anything concrete.
Odd thing is that when i saw the form from the GP with his urine sample bottle i am sure it said the raised PSA levels were 5.3,today the Consultant and the nurse said they are 50.
Don't know what difference it would make but i would think the lower the better.
Hope all the scans today get good news. < fingers crossed>
Lol at radioactive bank robber
My dh is sat humming on the couch with his legs sticking out from a duvet which is covering everything else including his head.
It's Must be so frustrating having to wait for the results echo. I remember that was the most stressful bit for me. Once you know what you're dealing with you can begin to plan a bit more.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
Echo, so sorry you have got to endure that wait, hopefully it will be a bit quicker than a month.
Turning, I am v intrigued by the aloe injury!!
echo...squawk at all that waiting. agree it was absolutely the worst bit for us. oh, and Pat. she's evil too
Lisa, huge shock but at being spared that hideous waiting thing (and at me)

Building an Observatory
Ninian's Sky Shed Pod arrived in the bad weather in January and sat propped against the wall until the ground was soft enough to start digging!
Thanks go to John who advised and got the concrete base in on which to place the pillar for the scope, and to Nick who designed, acted as quantity surveyor for the decking and without whom the grid would not have happened and to our son Joe who provided much needed muscle power throughout the whole process.
Ninian chose the Sky Shed Pod as he considered it to one of the best designs for a personal observatory, and if you would like to know more or want advice from him, then please

The arrival of a box of toys in the mail is delightful for the kids, and this month I have definitely indulged them.
Carbon was trading his bionicle parts at homeschool park days, but he didn't have enough pieces and I felt bad for him after an older boy traded him two launchers for an entire figure. Ebay seemed like a logical source to "bulk up" his bionicle collection, but I was unprepared for how much some people are willing to pay for these toys! After bidding on many lots, we finally got one. And to be fair, I also bid on a lot of groovy girl dolls for Hypatia. And then, since I was now hooked on ebay, I bid on a few lego sets and got a Harry Potter set.
At that point, I had to pull the plug on my computer. No More Ebay!

I had to go to the main office at the Sheriff's Department last night to check a criminal history. I don't often go downtown, preferring to keep my ancient butt out of there. It's been better than a year since I've actually stood in the main office and when I went into the dispatcher's room I saw all manner of computer screens, large HD monitors and interactive maps.
While one of those young bucks was checking his computer for my criminal history, I happened to look at one HD screen and saw a map of our parish, with all the patrol units moving along roads. I mentioned that it looked like the Starship Enterprise in there and one of the dispatchers got cocky.
"Yeah, police work has changed since you started in the 1930s." He handed me a piece of paper with my history on it.
"No," I replied. "Police work hasn't changed, just the technology we use. - - And for the record, I started policing in 1980."
"1980", says he. "That was before I was born."
"One thing has changed" I headed out the door. "We used to be allowed to slap surly dispatchers completely out of their chairs. I think that the Sheriff should re-institute that policy for people with over 30 years of service."

A new study has found that maintaining a low-sodium diet doesn't reduce the risk of heart disease. A European study found that not only did low sodium diets not actually decrease risk for heart attack, the people who consumed the least sodium had the greater risk of a heart attack. The link between salt intake and heart disease is not as clear as once thought.
Study found high sodium intake had little effect on rate of heart attack
A Belgian study being published in the Journal of the American Medical Association turns conventional wisdom on its ear regarding dietary sodium intake and the link to heart disease. A group of doctors monitored patients at or below the age of 60 for about eight years and kept tabs on their sodium intake, according to CNN, by performing regular urine analysis tests. The group of patients who regularly had high levels of sodium in urinalysis tests did not have a higher risk of a cardiac event such as a heart attack. In fact, those patients with the lowest sodium intake had a 56 percent higher chance of having a heart attack.
Don't reach for the shaker yet
The study included controls for other factors that contribute to heart disease and still found a higher risk for heart attack in patients with low sodium diets. However, the medical community has pointed out some problems with the study. The Centers for Disease Control, according to the New York Times, observes that the study may be too small to prove anything, as it involved fewer than 4,000 people, the average age of the subjects was 40, and very few of them had a cardiac episode of any sort. Also, urinalysis of sodium is only indicative of sodium levels on the day of the urine test. The study subjects were mostly relatively fit European Caucasians, and American studies have found that other ethnic groups are put at higher risk of heart disease with a high sodium intake.
Focus on hypertension
The movement to reduce salt intake in the American diet is not entirely about salt, but rather hypertension. Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, increases the pressure inside veins, arteries and the heart, causing structural strain that can lead to a cardiac event such as a heart attack or a stroke, according to WebMD. Salt intake and hypertension have long been known to be connected, and the Belgian study noted that subjects with the highest sodium intake had higher blood pressure. Because obesity and heart disease are serious problems for many Americans, there is a very good case for passing on the salt.

Full Question:
Hi, I am a 51 year old woman who has had migraines with aura since I was about 5 years old. In the past couple of years I have gained good control with the use of amitriptyline 10 mg. and atenolol 25 mg/ day. Lately I have been having bad side effects with the amitriptyline and want to go off it but every time I try I end up with a migraine for weeks on end. Is there something I could take in place of amitriptyline? My Dr. thinks that I should continue to take it because it works.
Thank you,
Answer:Dear Piper;
There are many choices of medications for Migraine prevention. Amitriptyline is an older drug that is used less than it once was. You can find a list of possible preventives, including other antidepressants in Migraine preventive medications: too many options to give up!
If your doctor isn't able to help you, it may well be time to consult a Migraine and headache specialist. It's important to note that neurologists aren't necessarily Migraine and headache specialists. Take a look at the article Migraine and Headache Specialists - What's So Special?

Stephen Harper Cabinet Shuffle Expected Monday Morning
OTTAWA - All ministers and deputy ministers have been summoned back to Ottawa as Prime Minister Stephen Harper shuffles his front bench and sets in place the team that will carry the Conservative government into the 2015 election.
Ray Novak, Harper's chief of staff, began phoning ministers and cabinet newcomers with their new assignments on Saturday night, with the formal appointments set to be announced Monday morning at Rideau Hall.
It marked the end of a long process that began early this year, when Harper's office began telegraphing its plan for a significant mid-term shakeup in both the federal cabinet and in its policy direction.
The shuffle — expected by all accounts to be the biggest overhaul since Harper first took power in 2006 — means the arrival of a number of new faces, the departure of several familiar ones and a rousing game of musical chairs for the rest.
Calgary MP Michelle Rempel, parliamentary secretary to Environment Minister Peter Kent and a strong performer during question period, is among the new additions to cabinet, Conservative sources familiar with the changes told The Canadian Press.
Kent himself is leaving, as is junior transport minister Steven Fletcher, said the sources, speaking on condition of anonymity in advance of Monday's formal announcement. Five other ministers have already indicated their departure plans.
Public Works Minister Rona Ambrose, Heritage Minister James Moore, Human Resources Minister Diane Finley and junior minister Maxime Bernier are all moving to new portfolios, sources say.
Behind the scenes, many Conservatives have identified the need for generational change in order to go up against 41-year-old Justin Trudeau's reinvigorated Liberals and Tom Mulcair's NDP, a party already chock-a-block with young MPs and high-profile women.
"It's going to be a substantial shuffle," said one senior Conservative. "New faces, younger members, along with experienced hands. New women in cabinet."
There has been corridor talk of a "constructionist" shuffle in the works. Harper leans heavily on his cabinet committees, which is where the real decisions are made, and any change to committee structure or personnel could prove significant.
The cabinet shuffle is seen as one step in a three-stage effort to shake the governing Conservatives out of a mid-mandate malaise. A throne speech setting out refreshed policy themes is widely anticipated this fall, followed by a Conservative party policy convention in Calgary at the end of October.
A cabinet makeover has long been in Harper's plan but with the Conservatives routinely polling behind Trudeau's Liberals this spring and the toll taken by the Senate spending scandal, the shuffle has taken on a new urgency.
It was supposed to take place earlier this month, but was delayed by the rail disaster in Lac-Megantic, Que. Harper met with some ministers after Canada Day at his summer home at Lake Harrington northwest of Ottawa, getting their read on how they did in their portfolios, and giving them hints on where he saw them going next.
"You're going to be seeing the teams and the people that are really fighting it out for power in 2015," said Jason Lietaer, a principal at government relations firm ENsight Canada and a former Conservative insider.
"The prime minister is setting his lineup for the upcoming battle."
Lietaer is among those who believe Harper will continue to play his winning hand from the 2011 election that finally delivered the Conservatives their long-sought majority — economic competence and stability.
That means several key government stalwarts will be staying put, while lesser cabinet portfolios are shuffled around them.
The Conservatives have spent at least $113 million of taxpayer funds since 2009 on feel-good "economic action plan" advertising, and the government believes that branding is its trump card.
"The economy will continue to be our priority," the senior Conservative said.
Some well-connected Conservatives argue that if Finance Minister Jim Flaherty and Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird don't move, the cabinet makeover falls short of being a fundamental reset.
All eyes will be on Flaherty, and all indications appear to be that Harper will stay the course with the only finance minister he's ever appointed.
A recent exodus of staff from Flaherty's office had fuelled speculation he could be on the way out, but the former Ontario finance minister has openly lobbied to keep his job and says he wants to stay on until the government's top priority — a balanced federal budget — is achieved, likely in 2015.
Flaherty is battling a painful skin disorder and many expect he won't run again federally. Harper told cabinet members this winter to tell him if they were bowing out in 2015, as he would want to replace them this summer.
To be sure, the prime minister has some gaps to fill.
Vic Toews announced his retirement from politics last week, opening up the important public safety portfolio and a spot for a Manitoba MP. With Fletcher also believed to be on the way out, that could pave the way for both Shelley Glover and Candice Bergen to enter cabinet.
Peter Penashue, Harper's former intergovernmental affairs minister, resigned over campaign spending irregularities and was defeated in a byelection in March.
Keith Ashfield has left his post as fisheries minister due to ill health.
Harper's popular junior finance minister, Ted Menzies, is also stepping aside, as is fellow Calgarian Diane Ablonczy.
Sen. Marjory LeBreton, the Conservative government leader in the Senate and cabinet member, is resigning her post.
Lietaer suggested that in areas where the government hasn't been able to get matters "over the finish line" — long-delayed environmental regulations on the oil and gas sector come to mind — "a fresh set of eyes" might help.
Top priorities over the next two years include pulling the trigger on a trade deal, getting approval for a pipeline from Alberta's oilsands to the tide line, and negotiating the proposed new federal job training grant with reluctant provincial governments.

With over 70 physicians providing care to central Indiana residents from more than 10 convenient locations, OrthoIndy provides leading-edge bone, joint, spine and muscle care. In 1962, Drs. Donald Blackwell and F. Robert Brueckmann founded the Blackwell and Bruekmann Partnership, which became the foundation for a unique medical practice known as OrthoIndy. In March 2005, OrthoIndy opened its very own orthopedic hospital to better serve its patients. Formally known as the Indiana Orthopaedic Hospital, the OrthoIndy Hospital is Indiana's first specialty hospital with a direct focus on orthopedic care. OrthoIndy Hospital focuses on musculoskeletal care and complex surgical procedures including total joints (hip and knee) and spinal operations. Spanning over 130,000 square feet, the hospital was built when OrthoIndy physicians saw an increasing need to provide specialized orthopedic care in a patient-focused environment. Designed by orthopedic physicians and healthcare architects, OrthoIndy Hospital Main is light, airy and modern, offering patients, as well as their family members, a comfortable and home-like environment. OrthoIndy has two additional hospital facilities, located in Brownsburg (OrthoIndy Hospital West) and Greenwood (OrthoIndy Hospital South), featuring a clinic, urgent care clinic, outpatient surgery, imaging and physical therapy. Services provided by OrthoIndy Hospital will enable patients to return to a more active lifestyle, quicker and in most cases, with less pain. Because of advancements in medical technology, many of the surgeries performed at the hospital can be completed on an outpatient basis, consisting of patient stays lasting 23 hours or less. For patients who are undergoing more invasive procedures, OrthoIndy Hospital provides inpatient care with round-the-clock patient-focused services and staff. OrthoIndy Hospital is ACR accredited and HFAP certified. Download the list of physician owners of OrthoIndy Hospital: OrthoIndy Hospital Owners

These tires are a great upgrade for the micro-t. This tire is much larger then stock micro-t tires and will improve top speed and will improve wheelies. When I put these on my micro-t it was popping wheelies left and right. I recommend these tires for anyone looking for a bashing tire for there micro-t.)

Hey thanks for the heads up! I got it loaded into my DVR schedule. A couple months ago I found a download of all of the Woodsmith shop shows.

Well Bob, I missed the 1 pm program as I checked my e-mail at 2 pm then I missed the 4:30 notice as I checked my e-mail at 5:10. I don't know Tommy Mac so I don't even know what I missed. As for the woodsmith shop, I am on dish and get the show on CH. 28. My last recording was on the 22. I have taped them to VCR and have about 16 programs if you want to watch them.

The Woodwright's Shop was pulled off with the new lineup that KBTC began the 1st of January 2011. It was pulled to make room for Tommy Mack, but shouldn't have been one of the shows pulled to make room in my opinion. I am growing to like the new show, but miss Roy. The other shows (Hometime only SD, This Old House, and Ask This Old House) are available in the market on both of the stations KBTC, and KCTS, primary channels as well as some commercial stations. If you want the show back please e-mail them @ firstname.lastname@example.com. They will listen. I am on the inside and my opinion has been the only one so far, and hasn't seemed to matter much, but if the outcry is big enough, it will be put back on, in high definition and in the lineup on Saturdays where we all want it.

Charter reportedly preparing bid for TWC
Charter Communications Inc. is preparing an offer to acquire Time Warner Cable Inc. for less than $135 a share, said a person with knowledge of the matter.
Charter will offer cash and stock, in a so-called bear hug letter to Time Warner Cable as early as next week, said the person, who asked not to be identified because negotiations are private.
Charter, the fourth-largest U.S. cable company, could generate as much as $1 billion in annual cost savings with better deals on programming and by cutting overhead, said Matthew Harrigan, an analyst with Denver-based Wunderlich Securities Inc.
Still, it would be risky for the company to bid too high for TWC, which is losing video subscribers to competitors including AT& T Inc.'s U-verse and Verizon Communications Inc.'s FiOS.
"Time Warner Cable continues to lose subscribers and customer service issues continue to be deteriorating," Harrigan said. "It's not going to be easy to fix."
A bid of $135 a share would value TWC at about $62 billion, including the value of its debt.
Time Warner shares closed Friday at $131.41, up 0.27 percent.
The shares have gained about 35 percent this year on speculation that a takeover bid is coming.
Charter fell less than 1 percent to $131.54.
Spokesmen for Charter and Time Warner Cable declined to comment.

When I opened the package, I was a bit weirded out by the glossy/greasy look of the leaves. In past experiences, this basically implies leaves coated with artificial flavouring – bleh. Steeped two cups for two minutes. With the amount of bitterness I got from the first sip, it was as though this was two minutes too long. Great smell….fail taste. I splashed a bit of milk into the cup after having one cup straight. That helped to cut the bitterness, but the bite was still there.
At least it was better than Bigelow's French Vanilla.
I didn't bother resteeping the leaves.

Senna leaf is the "move" in Smooth Move®, and works by direct action on the intestine, which is why it's called a stimulant laxative.* The pharmacopoeial grade senna leaf in Smooth Move® contains an effective dose of sennosides—the component of the herb that ensures the laxative effect.

Google may bring Android to the Raspberry Pi 3, vastly expanding the range and capability of the diminutive device. The latest version of the RBP is significantly more powerful than earlier products — within range of a lower-end smartphone.
Some of these featured projects are niche, some are simple novelties, and some have practical uses in the real world. The single unifying concept here is that someone had an idea, created something awesome, and then shared it with everyone.
The Raspberry Pi is arguably the world's most successful and accessible computer platform that anyone can program. The Raspberry Pi foundation has now launched the Pi 3, an upgraded model for the same $35 price.
While you can use a Raspberry Pi as a standalone computer, Snickerdoodle is more like an Arduino or Raspberry Pi 2 running Windows 10 IoT — with much more I/O capability.
In the self-driving car business, decisions are only as good as your sensor data. While the state-of-the-art Velodyne LIDAR that adorns benchmark research vehicles will set you back $80,000, winning the DARPA urban challenge probably requires the better part of a cool million. Unfortunately, spoofing these sophisticated sensors just got a whole lot easier.
More cars, more hacks — this time BMW, Chrysler, and Mercedes. Not every "attwifi" SSID is an actual AT&T access point that protects your data.
Next Thing's CHIP could be the next big little thing: A $9 literally chip-sized BYOP (Bring Your Own Peripherals) computer that runs a variant of Debian Linux.
Microsoft has announced that the preview of Windows 10 is now available for the Raspberry Pi 2. Is this the beginning of Redmond's push into the Internet of Things?
The new Raspberry Pi 2 is now available with about six times the total CPU performance and the same price tag at $35 — but with added Windows 10 support.
When the Raspberry Pi Foundation announced way back in 2011 that it would release a complete PC for $25, we were dubious — but hey, here we are in 2014 and Raspberry Pi has been a massive success story, with thousands of units sold at the promised $25 price point. Today, the Foundation is releasing the Raspberry Pi Model A+ — a smaller, cheaper version of the Model A. The A+ costs just $20, and you can buy it today from Farnell in the UK or MCM in the US. Amusingly enough, the A+ is actually smaller than credit-card sized.

This book offers a syntax and a semantics of nonverbal predicates (i.e., nominal, adjectival, and prepositional predicates) in copular sentences. It explores how the different interpretations of nonverbal predicates can be accounted for in a system that maintains a single structure for predication. The book departs from earlier studies by arguing in favor of a ternary distinction between defining/characterizing/situation-descriptive predicates rather than the more common stage-level/individual-level distinction. The distinction is based on two semantic criteria, namely maximality (i.e., whethe ... More

From DPBP
I don't wanna lose this bit on information so I'll put it here. Regarding DPBP...
- Aipom and Ambipom, expected to be numbers 218 and 219, respectively, were moved to #267 and #268. It is unknown why their original position after the Hoppip family was changed. The next family, Sunkern's, occupies numbers 219 and 220. As Aipom received a new evolution and would have required a second slot, MK's hypothesis is that they forgot about Ambipom when numbering the Pokémon. The following Pokémon, all of which notably do not evolve, were moved:
- Qwilfish, expected to be #267, was moved to #218.
- Girafarig, expected to be #259 after Wobbuffet, was moved all the way to #489, after Gastrodon; this is where Ambipom's space would have been had he been unrelated to Aipom.
- Shuckle, expected to be #268 (#267 accommodating Qwilfish's move), was moved to Girafarig's place.
I was looking through a text file I had and found this text. I apparently wrote it in response to someone who thought Burmy was related to Pineco. I am pasting it here for archived hilarity, as it seems I never posted it (that I can remember).
I can personally guarantee these 2 Pokemon aren't related. LOOK AT THEM. Geez. Both Metapod and Kakuna are classified as "Cocoon" Pokemon. Surely Kakuna is a pre-evolution of Metapod. They both know String Shot and Harden too :oooo Aside from that, bugs do NOT get pre-evolutions. They are not mammals. They do not grow. Bugs have stages. Either: a) Larva (baby) - Pupa (cocoon) - Adult (final) cf. Caterpie, Weedle, Wurmple, b) Child - Adult cf. Paras, Venonat, Ledyba, Spinarak, Pineco, Surskit, Nincada, Anorith c) One-form cf. Scyther, Pinsir, Yanma, Shuckle, Heracross, Volbeat, Illumise, Korobooshi (maybe) The only bug to gain a new evolution was Scyther, and that was NOT a natural thing. It has to be traded with an item, where it is coated with steal. There is no visual, textual, nor logical reason to assume Pineco and Minomutchi are related. If by some act of Satan these 2 are, I will personally drive to the house of anyone who thinks they were and hand them 10 American dollars.
Lol 2: The awakening
This is from a topic on [serebii.net] but it appears to have been deleted, luckily I saved it:
birds: ice electric fire beasts: electric fire water golems: ice rock steel (3months before DP i told here that there will be a legi trio containing a water, a steel or rock and new type legendary and most probably be dragons) dragons: water steel ghost see the pattern? =D the next will be rock ghost and something new .............. ok i'll explain one more time: they made a trio of pokes that all represented the (almost)same animal they did birds! ice/flying---->articuno electric/flying--->zapdos fire/flying--->moltres .... then they made another trio in the next gen, the cats(NOT DOGS! wtf...tiger/cheetah/lion lol)....but they didnt want to have the same type combinations over and over 127gens long....so they decided to change some types every gen: they used fire and electric again, but changed ice to water: no ice electric--->raikou fire---->entei + water--->suicune 3rd gen: the golems cause they've decided to use every type 2 times, they used the ice type! simple! logical! briliant! ice---->regice so they had 2 options now: use water and a new type OR two new types... water and ice in the same trio seemed odd, so 2 new types: + rock--->regirock + steel---->registeel i hope u all understand this till now 4th gen: "lets get something new =q we need more psychic legends!11" the 3 psychic pixies were made .... some guys from gamefreak said to the boss: "but i dont want to get rid of an unfinished trio type pattern q_q"(cos' there were 3types that have not been used twice) the boss:"i have an great idea!!!1...LETS CHANGE THE BOXART LEGENDS TYPES TO TRIO TYPES!!1" [as everyone who knows how the pattern goes could predict the types as this: 1st: water for sure o_O 2nd: rock or steel hmmmm.... 3rd: the left of rock/steel (what would end the trio type tradition) OR (if they dont want too end the tradition) a new type lets see what happened] boxart legens: palkia-------->water/dragon dialga------->steel/dragon giradina------>ghost/dragon "WAIT!...they are much stronger than normal trios....so what about their guardian? <<" the boss:"simple! lets make an even stronger pokemon!1" tada...arseus "are we going to add another legendary because of the pixie trio?" "no...just change their colors, so that they match dialga/palkia/giradina... so every pixie has its own "guardian"" is that clear enough? ------------- [b]the pattern is: 1. change 1 or 2 types every trio, so it doesnt get annoying 2. use every type twice 3. each type has to be repeated one or two gens after adding to the pattern and u said it yourself that the first types were repeated two times already o_O[b] ------------yes but i didnt make so much up i started to made up stuff the GF were saying, after i described the pattern and everything till 4th gen and yes there is no true trio like in the past gens....but they still use the pattern of them on the dimension legendarys i mean look at them: water steel ghost.... water (hi suicune?) steel (hi registeel?) ghost (it isnt rock, like there was no ice in 2nd,no water in 3rd) 1st gen types: 1 2 3 2nd gen: 2 3 4 3rd: 1 5 6 4th: 7 6 4 can u imagine how this goes on and on? no?: 5th: 5 7 8 6th: 8 9 10 7th: 9 10 11 8th: 10 12 13 9th: 11 12 14 10th: 13 14 15.........

Hello All!
Sorry I've been MIA for awhile! I've come to the realization that I need a break from blogging. I hope to pick it up again or give less frequent updates on my life, but currently my day time job along with my exercise classes and with all the organizations I'm involved in, plus trying to keep a sane social life, is really pulling me every crazy direction, and blogging is another time-eater that is really stressing me out. I think blogging should be a fun past time, but past times are few and far between at this time in my life! And when a "hobby" gets stressful, it's time to give it up!
So while I hope someday to be sharing food and fitness tips again, along with some fun pictures, right now is not the time!
I TRULY APPRECIATE everyone that ever read this blog! I really mean that and I hope one day you'll follow me again. This break might be for a month or a year, not sure yet!
Until then, keep sweating and getting creative with meals:) Have a great summer everyone!

I liked how the college is close to my home. The help and support I receive from the TRIO program they have at Yavapai collage has helped me stay above average in grades. This college offered a class in nutritional choices from a great teacher, that taught us the choices to make to stay alive longer by eating right, and losing weight, dropping the risk of diabetes.

Derivan Kindyglitz has been formulated as a safe, non-toxic paint to be used straight from the nozzle applicator or brushed out over your creation.
Colour mixing
All the colours may be intermixed to form other interesting glitter colours. It is possible to apply the glitters over black or dark coloured backgrounds for greater contrasts.
To make Kindyglitz washproof, apply Derivan Polymer Gloss Varnish over the dried work.
Clean up

Removal of paints stains
Derivan Kindyglitz is easily removed from clothing. However, old clothing should be worn as some fabrics may stain. DO NOT USE HOT WATER.

Health and Safety
Derivan Kindyglitz is a non-toxic water-based paint containing water, acrylic and glitter. Although it is certainly not made to be ingested, it is safe for use with young children. Avoid contact with eyes as the glitters may act as an abrasive, causing irritation.

Many years ago I had an outstanding technician, who we'll call Ted, who generated above and beyond results every week. He brought in high average invoices and provided top notch customer service to homeowners.
There was just one problem - Ted's paperwork skills were horrible. It might seem like a simple and routine part of the job, but when it's not done correctly it can cause a lot of problems.
The main problem was Ted's handwriting. His invoices came back to the shop looking like they'd been completed in some new language no one had ever seen. Ted's handwriting made it hard to record the parts that he used on a call so that we could keep accurate inventory and get him the parts he needed. Every invoice he submitted meant that my office staff had to spend 20 minutes on the phone with him deciphering what he'd written.
It was inefficient for the business and frustrating for the office staff. But Ted was an excellent technician. In fact, in the time that his paperwork problems hit their peak, he became my team's technical go-to guy. If another technician had a problem on a call that they couldn't solve, it was Ted that they called.
In other words, his value to the team and the company went beyond those high dollar invoices, so as the manager, I needed a happy team and I needed Ted. That meant I needed to confront Ted about his writing and see how we could improve it.
During our coaching session, I laid out the problem to him and why we needed to figure out a way to improve his writing. As he heard the reason for our coaching session, he slumped in his chair and hung his head. On the verge of tears, he confessed to me that the reason his writing was so bad was that he couldn't read or write. He'd never learned and, as a result, he didn't know how to spell.
He'd learned how to become a great technician through experience and working with his hands. He was a classic experiential learner.
Everyone learns in different ways, and researchers have categorized the variety of learning styles into three main categories: listening learners; seeing learners; touch and experience learners.To illustrate the difference, think about one of life's earliest lessons - "The stove is hot. Don't touch it!" Listening learners heard their mother, believed the information, and never touched a stove. Seeing learners watched as their brother touched the stove and never touched it themselves. Experience learners touched the stove; but only once!
The reason this is important is that you may be providing training sessions where you know the individual is smart but they just don't seem to get it. Perhaps, they learn in a different manner than you are training them.
Do you know the learning styles of each member of your team and how it impacts the type of training that you should provide them?
In today's world, it's unlikely that you'll find someone like Ted who can't read and write, but there are huge advantages to knowing how each member of your team learns so you can provide the training that matches their style. When you match each team member's learning style to the training you provide, you'll see these benefits:
• Increased enjoyment: Since the training will be tailored to their style, your technicians will actually enjoy learning, and when they enjoy it, they'll be engaged.
• Training requests: Since they are engaged and actively involved, your technicians will welcome training and will look for ways to improve.
• Increased performance: All of that tailored training will affect your results, and it doesn't take much to have a big impact. Just a $25 increase in your technician's average invoice over 1,000 calls can produce an extra $25,000 of revenue. And that's per truck so think of the extra revenue your entire team would produce.
• Improved customer service and fewer call backs: Your technicians will not only be better trained, but they'll be more confident in their abilities. That will translate to better service in the home and fewer call backs to fix problems.
• Improved retention: As your team gets more confidence and enjoys training and working at your company, they'll be less likely to leave for a competitor.
Tailoring your training to specific learning styles can be tricky, so if you'd like more information on how to train your technicians for maximum performance, e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com with "Help Me Maximize Performance" in the subject line.

To my surprise the sound of birds is still present this winter. Though some feathery friends have stayed throughout the cold, I can't say the same for other winged creatures. I miss them a bit, so I made a pretty collection of orange and blue monarch butterflies.
I am completely and utterly in love with these shoes. I love the print, the stunning colors and the amazing elegance.
Fused glass can be so mesmerizing and these butterfly wings definitely are.
Quite an afforable accessory for a wedding. But this clip seems wonderful for everyday use too.
I imagine wearing this Luly Yang dress might actually feel like one has just gotten out of a cocoon and turned into a genuine butterfly.
An original and, I assume, incredibly comfortable necklace.
Ever since I first joined Etsy I've been marvelling at this brooch. It's so beautiful! And available in lots of other colors too.
These earrings would look great with a long floral summer dress, don't you think?
This headband is a real eye catcher! I really love the casual placement of the butterflies.
If I ever find myself with extra time to kill, I might have to practise doing these nails.
Another pair of earrings! These are so cute and delicate!
And finally, some lovely fake ones to use for whatever project you choose.
