Irish people traveled to New York in their droves last week to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, and a recession back home was the last thing on their minds.
Nora and John O'Shea, visiting New York from Co. Clare last week, told the Irish Voice while enjoying the St. Patrick's celebrations in Yonkers that they borrowed money for the trip.
"To be honest we really shouldn't have come, but after my parents said they would loan us a few euros we booked the trip and we are delighted we came," shared Nora.
John, who works for a pharmaceutical company in Co. Limerick, received two pay cuts in the past year, and Nora has been out of work since before Christmas.
"I used to mind three children full time, but their mother lost her job so then I lost mine," she said.
The O'Sheas had never been to the U.S. "We got married in 2009 and planned to come to New York for our honeymoon but that fell through, so it really was a case of now or never while we still have a few pounds coming in," said John, explaining his job is not very secure.
Nora said she would have liked to "have seen a Broadway show, visit the Statue of Liberty and gone to Woodbury Commons" on a shopping trip, but "we just didn't have the money for it all."
Staying with relations in Yonkers gave them a few extra bucks in their pockets to travel in and out of Manhattan to enjoy the St. Patrick's Day celebrations.
"We had a ball here and made every second and penny count," said Nora.
Doireann Barrett and her nine-year-old son Jack Barrett Rowan booked their flights to New York nearly a year ago. Jack paid for his passage with the money he made from his Holy Communion.
"We got a good deal on the flights and stayed with friends and family for the week so that made coming here a lot more affordable," said the Co. Kerry native.
When the flights were booked the 32-year-old auctioneer was in full-time employment and had promised her son she would take him to New York to celebrate his ninth birthday on March 15.
When her hours were cut down to three days a week later in the year she worried about being able to afford her trip to the Big Apple.
"I had promised Jack so canceling the trip wasn't an option. I knew I'd figure something out," she told the Irish Voice last week.
Barrett, who normally has a busy social life back in Ireland, sacrificed several nights out so she could save enough money to come to New York.
"You only live once, and this was such a special trip," said Barrett.
"We had an amazing time meeting friends, being part of the biggest parade in the world, seeing Michael Flatley walking on the street and attending a cousin's wedding in Philadelphia."
Barrett, who has been in New York a few times, found the city more expensive than previous trips.
"Maybe it was because I was watching what I spent more cautiously, but I really thought everything was a little dearer this time around," she said.
Although every girl loves to shop when she comes to New York, Barrett was on a tight budget so very little was purchased.
"We did splash out a little though for Jack's birthday on Tuesday -- how could we not when we were in New York?" she laughed.
Jack told the Irish Voice he "would love to come back to New York again next year" and plans to save his pocket money.
The best part of the trip for the young man was meeting Irish boxer Andy Lee.
"It was so cool, I even got his autograph and picture with him," squealed the young boy.
Noel Green, a Co. Leitrim plumber, flew to New York on Tuesday, March 15 for four days.
"I needed the break," said Green. "Ireland is in such a bad place right now and I really needed to get out of it to clear my head.
"I just about scraped together a bit of money for the trip and put a few rounds (of drink) on my Visa card."
Green, who has been working on and off for the past year, is planning on returning to New York if he can secure a working visa.
"This is the place to be. The Irish people I know here haven't a care in the world. They are working full-time, spending what they like and enjoying life like we all should be," he said.
Green, a single 29-year-old, spent St. Patrick's Day "on the beer in the city" and enjoyed the hospitality shown to him by New Yorkers.
"Everyone was so friendly, I was really amazed and it added to the day," he said.
Green plans to contact the American Embassy in Dublin in the coming weeks to see if there is a way he can secure a visa to come and work in the U.S. legally.
"I'm going to do my best to get back here. I've nothing to lose," he said.

Dye is busting out a new large fit goggle frame, the CLK (aka, the Click). The goggle boasts a super simple lens changing system, with the rider able to literally click the lens in and out with the push of a button. Check it out.
San Diego, California (July 19th 2012)- Dye has designed a new innovative lens attachment system integrated into their new large fit frame, appropriately named the CLK ™. It's no doubt that over the last few seasons' frameless design, oversize fit, and fast lens changing stories have taken the goggle world by storm. The Dye CLK ™ is a premier goggle, offering a large fit with an expanded field of view, combined with one of the fastest and simple lens changing systems ever.
The technology was debuted at SIA in January, shown as a sneak peak of what is to come from Dye. After additional testing from select team riders, minor adjustments were made to ensure the CLK system was ready for retail this fall.
"I like being able to give input and feedback and have it reflected in the product." – Bjorn Leines.
The CLK will be available this fall in four colors and two different price points. All models include additional lenses, so riders can utilize the click feature and rapidly change lenses on hill, the lift, or in the backcountry. Base models come with two lenses and a hard case. Upgraded models come with one polarized lens and two additional lenses.

Federal judge strikes down PA marriage ban; 19th consecutive win since June
May 20, 2014
Today, May 20, 2014, U.S. District Judge John E. Jones III, a federal judge appointed by President George W. Bush, ruled in favor of the freedom to marry, striking down Pennsylvania's ban on marriage for same-sex couple and becoming the latest judge in an amazing year of victories for marriage in every corner of the country. The ruling is the 19th consecutive victory in state and federal court for the freedom to marry since the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Windsor v. United States in June 2013. The ruling is the 15th win in federal court for marriage since June and comes less than 24 hours after two wonderful wins in Oregon and Utah.
The decision was issued in Whitewood v. Wolf, a federal marriage case brought by the American Civil Liberties Union, the ACLU of PA, and private counsel from Hangley Aronchick Segal Pudlin & Schiller and Seth Kreimer.
The judge wrote, in his moving conclusion:
That same-sex marriage causes discomfort in some does not make its prohibition constitutional. Nor can past tradition trump the bedrock constitutional guarantees of due process and equal protection. Were that not so, ours would still be a racially segregated nation according to the now rightfully discarded doctrine of 'separate but equal.'
In the sixty years since Brown was decided, 'separate' has thankfully faded into history, and only 'equal' remains. Similarly, in future generations the label 'same-sex marriage' will be abandoned, to be replaced simply by 'marriage.'
We are a better people than what these laws represent, and it is time to discard them into the ash heap of history.
Evan Wolfson, founder and president of Freedom to Marry, commented on the ruling today. He said:
Today's win in Pennsylvania finally brings the freedom to marry to the entire Northeast. Loving and committed couples and their families in the nation's sixth largest state will be able to share in the joy, security and dignity that come with the freedom to marry. The stone that was once left out has become the keystone, and now it's time to finish the job nationwide.
Freedom to Marry is a founding and leading partner in Why Marriage Matters Pennsylvania and celebrates this momentous day in the Keystone State!
Judges have struck down marriage bans now in 8 states in the past few months: Utah, Oklahoma, Virginia, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Idaho, Oregon, and now Pennsylvania. More limited decisions in favor of the freedom to marry have been handed down in Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee, and Ohio.
More than 70 cases are currently pending in state and federal court in more than 30 states and territories across the United States.

'Prayer also shall be made for him continually.' Psalm 72:15
Suggested Further Reading: Matthew 6:9–13
'Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world,' is the blessed
assurance that Jesus is our Captain in the great fight of faith, and is still
present in the battle field. His great cause is here, his enterprise and
business are here below. The work which he undertook to accomplish is not yet
accomplished in the person of every one of his elect. His blood has been fully
shed and his atonement has been perfected, but those for whom the atonement
was made are not yet all ingathered. Many sheep he has which are not yet of
his fold. We are therefore to pray for him, that the good work which he has
undertaken may be prospered, and that one by one those whom his Father gave
him may be brought to reconciliation and to eternal life. Brethren, the Lord
Jesus Christ describes himself as being still persecuted and still suffering.
He said to Saul, 'Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?' He calls his people
himself; they are his mystical body; and in praying for the church we pray for
Christ. He is the head of the body, and you cannot pray for the body except
you pray for the head. We must put them all into one prayer. He is still
struggling with the hosts of darkness in his church, still striving for the
victory over sin in his people, and his people are waiting and longing for his
second advent, which shall fulfil their brightest hopes. We must still pray
for him, not personally, but relatively; for his cause, for his kingdom, for
his gospel, for his people, for his blood-bought ones who as yet are in the
ruins of the fall, for his second coming, and glorious reign. In this sense, I
take it, the text is meant that 'prayer also shall be made for him
For meditation: In the first half of the Lord's Prayer, the Lord teaches us to
pray for the Lord (thy name, thy kingdom, thy will—Matthew 6:9–10); after that
we pray for ourselves. Do you pray for him? If you are one of his people,
don't forget that he is continually interceding for you (Hebrews 7:25).

Ashdowne necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 10 diseños de 3 diseñadores freelance.
I am a married mom of three. I built my site to help people earn a little extra money per month.
Moms, students, retired people, anyone wanting to earn a few hundred extra a month by filling out online surveys.
Please see this page: http://www.surveymoneymachine.com/index2.php
I want to have that page redesigned with the goal of getting a higher conversion rate. It's currently at 35%, which is good, but I know it can do better.
Please design TWO new versions of this landing page. They should be different from each other.
Nothing is really sacred. Feel free to change the page drastically. The green color scheme is used only because it's the color of money. I do not need to stay with green if you have a better idea.
Here are the only elements I want to preserve:
1. Headline
2. Body text
3. Opt-in form above the fold (feel free to change the actual opt-in form as much as you like)
You may use a new woman's picture for the personality of the site or you can stay with the current one. There are other pictures of her elsewhere on the site if you want to use another one.
The animation can stay or go. It's not a necessity.
The goal is to make the page inviting, trustworthy and motivational. I would like to test the two new versions against the current version. I am sure that one of yours will convert higher. I can let you know which one after I test them, if you're interested.

Jon Robinson needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 58 designs submitted by 13 freelance designers.
Cunningham Cup
I sit on the board of an international school in Singapore (Tanglin Trust School http://www.tts.edu.sg) and have also been involved in organising rugby events - notable the Singapore Cricket Club rugby sevens http://www.sccrugbysevens.com
In order to promote sport within the school, I initiated a cup for the inter-school rugby match between Tanglin Trust and United World College http://www.uwcsea.edu.sg
The cup has been named after Phil Cunningham - Phil is also a governor of Tanglin Trust School, his sons attend United World College where they played rugby, and Phil has a long standing involvment in rugby
The audience is wide including
- school students (male 16-18 years)
- school faculty and govenors
- rugby players
- parents
A balance is required between the conservative needs of the older audience and more innovative designs preferred by the younger audience; that said the balance should be weighted to conservative
A logo is needed for the Cunningham Cup
The logo will be used for on-line and print promotion of the annual event including facebook pages.
It will also be included in commerative items including:
- the plinth of the cup
- a neck-tie to be given to players
The logo can include design aspects of the logos of the two schools - but should not incorporate these logos directly.
The logo should be in colour but also should be able to be displayed in black & white without diluting clarity
Simplicity in design will be preferred to complexity
Find out how a design contest works or learn more about our logo design services.

President Barack Obama called Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates this afternoon to express his condolences over today's movie theater massacre, and pledge the "full support" of the FBI and other federal law enforcement agencies as the Aurora Police Department deals with the suspect's booby-trapped apartment.
Here's the readout of the call from the White House:
This afternoon, the President telephoned Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates from the Oval Office to tell him that his and Michelle's thoughts and prayers are with the community of Aurora, particularly the local first responders who have performed well under difficult and stressful circumstances. The President also told Chief Oates that he should expect the full support of the FBI and other federal law enforcement agencies moving forward, including any resources they need to handle the ongoing situation at the suspect's apartment.
Earlier today, upon his return to the White House from Florida, the President, along with Vice President Biden, received a briefing on the investigation of the Aurora, Colorado, shooting from: FBI Director Robert Mueller, Homeland Security Advisor John Brennan, Deputy Attorney General James Cole, Chief of Staff Jack Lew, Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett and White House Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler.
Here's the picture of Obama making the call during the motorcade ride to Palm Beach International Airport:

I agree with you, but that thought process is usually brought about with maturity. Just like it's silly to call Martin a "child," it's just as foolish to think of him as an adult. I also think that Zimmerman lacked that same type of maturity in his effort to follow Martin.

In a blog post today the TSA defended its actions in "cupcakegate," saying that the icing in a cupcake in a jar is considered a gel, and could be a cleverly disguised explosive. The post continued:
What the two plots above and intelligence gathered from all over the world tells us is that unless Wiley E. Coyote is involved, the days of the three sticks of dynamite with a giant alarm clock strapped to them are long gone. Terrorists have moved to novel explosives disguised as common, everyday items. Our officers are regularly briefed and trained by TSA explosives specialists on how just about any common appliance, toy or doohickey can be turned into a dangerous explosive. When you think about it, do you think an explosive would be concealed in an ominous item that would draw attention, or something as simple as a cute cupcake jar?
At the time the passenger said she was most concerned about inconsistency. If icing is a potentially dangerous substance, why did another TSA agent let her through with two cupcakes in a jar on another flight? The TSA doesn't provide an explanation, but warns fliers that if they try to bring cakes, pies, and cupcakes through security they "might get some additional screening" — if the TSA agent you're dealing with feels particularly threatened by baked goods.

Tag-a-Tie™ by RainSeason™
Tag-a-Tie™ is an evolving segment of the existing men's neckwear company RainSeason™ We are implementing complete personalization of our necktie line with no minimum order limit. Customers will be able to access our online store to design personalized messages and/or images on the black diamond-shaped area on the backs of our ties.
Father's Day will be a large market for our product. Family members of beloved fathers will be able to design a personalized message on tie styles selected from over 175 unique patterns. A simple message from a wife and two young sons might read;
"We couldn't have asked for a more loving father. We love you Daddy! Happy Father's Day - 2011"
Or the family could upload a family picture that would then be automatically adjusted to a sketched image and printed on the tie.
All prints are done using a Digital Direct-to-Garment Printing Machine; they are printed on optimized tie fabrics to ensure that the print properly solidifies to the substrate and creates a permanent bond. We offer a lifetime warranty on all prints.
Our target market will be primarily the friends, family members, and other loved ones of those who frequently wear ties. This may be businessmen, church-goers, school teachers, religious workers, professors, etc.
Along with the individual sales market listed above we will also target bulk orders coming from national universities, weddings, corporate promotional items, and company gifts.
I would like the logo to have a modern and sleek feel to it...nothing cheesy or cheap feeling. It needs to clearly display the name of the company (Tag-a-Tie™). As shown, I would like the "T's" to be capitalized but the rest of the letters lower-case and must include the Trade Mark symbol.
I mentioned earlier that Tag-a-Tie™ is a segment of the RainSeason™ company. I would like "by RS" or "by RainSeason™" to be incorporated in the design to show that it's part of the existing company. Tag-a-Tie™ is what needs to really stand out, but RainSeason™ must be somewhere in the background.
Lastly, I want the design to be simple yet still demonstrate or "hint at" what Tag-a-Tie™ means. I feel that it is pretty self-explanatory (you tag or print on a tie) but I would like some sort of logo design to pair with it and act as a boost to help people quickly understand what it is that we do.
Note: The attached designs do not need to be used in any way for the final design they are just some ideas that I've come up with in my spare time.

I've always been curious about my great grandfather's tombstone pictured to the right.
Google is amazing!! The Woodmen of the World was described as a fraternal benefit society -- huh? Is that a fancy name for insurance company?
Yep!! Today, it's an insurance/financial services company.
One of the benefits of WOW, upon a member's death, was to provide $100 to the member's widow along with a headstone to be inscribed with the WOW insignia. (Was this an early marketing tool??) The Latin phrase "Dum Tacet Clamat" means "though silent he speaks". They discontinued their headstone program in the 1920's.

But as an adult, I think my favorite thing about this film is George Zucco. I always like his fanatical criminal style in movies from the 1930s and 1940s--- quiet, measured, articulate, intelligent, but always nuts. When it comes to movie villainy, it's no use competing against such a visually arresting figure as Tom Tyler's Mummy, so you would have to take a different road entirely, which is just what Zucco does with his urbane but insane Andoheb. But rather than scaring me, Zucco's bad guys bring me a kind of malevolently familiar comfort, like Vincent Price's Captain Robur or Gert Fröbe's Auric Goldfinger. (And put me down as a fan of Zucco's work in DARK STREETS OF CAIRO from the same year as THE MUMMY'S HAND.)
GREEN HELL, by the way, is a jungle adventure pic about some heavy-breathing explorers probing Brazilian rain forests at the Amazon's headwaters; in addition to having ugly run-ins with some laughable natives from Central Casting, they also encounter the forgotten ruins of an ancient city that hide some treasure. It's amusing to see that the crackerjack archeologists in THE MUMMY'S HAND are nonplussed by the discovery of all this Egypto-Incan architecture and art; perhaps they all adhere to the "ancient alien astronaut" theory of world civilizations popularized by Erich von Däniken which explains such similarities and connections as the result of an extraterrestrial cargo cult from thousands of years ago --- that's why everyone is so nonchalant about the bizarre cultural cross-pollination on display in the Valley of the Seven Jackals. All that silliness aside, though, it still looks cool as hell in this movie and it is used to good effect. I remember the climax being particularly suspenseful when I first saw it on TV.

But some things have remained the same, according to Goldman Sachs strategists.
They wrote in a note late Tuesday that trends in the "types" of companies whose stocks are outperforming still appear to be intact. These includes stocks with weaker balance sheets, lower return on capital, and below-peer valuation.

Still, the bias in the stock market this year is upward. It seems like people are buying every dip, which are turning out to be very shallow."

Twitter Inc. shares rallied Wednesday after Nomura upgraded the stock, arguing that, despite worries about slower user growth, the social network is doing a great job cashing in on its enormous base, writes Benjamin Pimentel.
Nomura analyst Anthony DiClemente said concerns about user growth were already priced in, telling clients in a note, "We believe that 'enough is enough' and that the current price offers investors a unique opportunity to own a now-underappreciated digital media asset."
"In its first two earnings quarters since its initial public offering, Twitter investors have focused on user metrics, which have disappointed, but we believe at these levels, user growth trajectory has now been priced into the stock," he added.

Host Brazil will win the 2014 FIFA World Cup on home turf and help to boost its stock market, according to the analysts at Goldman Sachs.
"On average, the victor outperforms the global market by 3.5% in the first month – a meaningful amount, although the outperformance fades significantly after three months."
That is good news for investors in Brazil. The benchmark Bovespa index is only up 2% year to date, compared with the S&P 500's 3.4%. Incidentally, the probability of the U.S. lifting the trophy is 0.5% versus Brazil's 48.5%.
The analysts also put together their collective analytical powers and knowledge of soccer to come up with their own dream team that is anchored by Lionel Messi of Argentina.

Apple Inc.'s price target was raised to $700 from $615 at Bernstein Research on Wednesday in anticipation of a bigger iPhone and an iWatch.

He also expects the company to launch the iWatch some time in the fourth quarter.

Charlie Bilello, director of research at Pension Partners wrote a post comparing current markets to the ones in 2007. We recommend reading it: BACK IN TIME
Similarities are scary, though, Bilello notes it does not mean that outcomes will be the same.
The parallels between May 2007 and May 2014 are unmistakable, with broad market strength masking underlying weakness. That is not to say what happens next will play out in the same fashion this time around as it most certainly will not. But at the same time, to completely ignore what the market is telling us here would be foolish as well. This may not be a repeat of 2007, but the persistent weakness in areas such as the Consumer Discretionary sector as we have seen this year is not likely a positive sign.

Pearl Jam Pay Tribute to Joe Strummer at Isle of Wight 2012
The Isle of Wight festival is well on its way to being one of the concert events of 2012, with Pearl Jam following Tom Petty in delivering a memorable set.
Pearl Jam took the opportunity to not only play the hits, but make a few musical statements of their own. At one point, singer Eddie Vedder stopped down to speak about his admiration for the late Clash singer Joe Strummer and how he was on their minds as they played the festival.
Vedder explained, "He would have loved this place. We were thinking about it on the way here, and sad to say, it'll be almost 10 years in December he's not been with us." The band would then perform 'Arms Aloft' from Strummer's late-in-life group the Mescaleros. The group has trotted out the cover at several stops over the past year.
NME also reports that the band made note of the inclement weather, which threatened to ruin the festival earlier in the week. The group performed a cover of the Beatles' 'Rain' as a bit of commentary on the situation
Pearl Jam also made a couple of other musical detours away from their catalog, though the inclusions of The Ramones' 'Blitzkrieg Bop,' the English Beat's 'Save It for Later,' and Jimi Hendrix's 'Little Wing' were infused into 'Daughter,' 'Better Man,' and 'Yellow Ledbetter' respectively.
Pearl Jam's Isle of Wight Festival Set List
1. 'Unthought Known'
2. 'Last Exit'
3. 'Hail Hail'
4. 'The Fixer'
5. 'Rain'
6. 'Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town'
7. 'Supersonic'
8. 'Given to Fly'
9. 'Untitled'
11. 'Even Flow'
12. 'Setting Forth'
13. 'Corduroy'
14. 'Arms Aloft'
15. 'Jeremy'
16. 'Why Go'
17. 'Got Some'
18. 'Daughter/Blitzkrieg Bop'
19. 'Just Breathe'
20. 'Better Man/Save It for Later'
21. 'Porch'
22. 'Blood'
23. 'Alive'
24. 'Yellow Ledbetter/Little Wing'

Tips on coping with RAApril 10, 2011 at 8:29 am | Posted in arthrits, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, joint pai, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) | 6 Comments
Tags: aches, coping strategies, RA, rhematoid arthritis, Rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), stiffness, stress, tiredness, work
Someone just posted a request on tips for coping with RA on the NRAS Healthunlocked site that I mentioned previously, so I thought I'd 'cross-post' mine here, although I'll add to them a bit because I didn't want to hog the post on that site!
Not saying all these will work for everyone, it's just what works for me!
- Make sure you take all your tabs and don't be afraid to use pain relief too! You're not proving anything by struggling through without paracetamol (or whatever). I also have a wax bath for my hands when I need it, a TENS machine and a front-fastening neck brace. Hardly ever have to use any of them but they're there if I need them! (So long as I remember I have them!)
- PACE YOURSELF. It's not good saying, 'I'm just going to battle through with my usual routine' because that'll just make things worse. On the other hand, to stay positive I definitely don't get into the thought pattern of 'I mustn't plan anything in advance, because RA might get in the way.' Yes, it might, and it often does, but you still have to make plans and have things to look forward to.
- ACCEPT HELP! – but at the same time make sure to stay independent as much as you can. So for instance I make sure I get referrals to physio when I need them and go and nag the doc if I need to. And make sure I don't turn away offers of help from good friends and colleagues. But at the same time I won't just sit about and let people run around after me when I feel fine – tempting though it might be sometimes!
- TREAT YOUR FRIENDS RIGHT: I don't think you can't spend all the time moaning to your friends or they start thinking, 'Where's the Penguin I used to know? I don't like this one!' On the other hand, a REAL friend will at least listen when things are really bad, offer to help and MEAN it! If they don't do that, then perhaps they're not real friends anyway! They expect the same thing in return of course. If they don't it then you're not a real friend either!
- In my case I'm extremely lucky to have a wonderful hubby who, bizarrely, enjoys housework, so that's one big burden taken away from me! I'd recommend a house-work loving partner to anyone with RA but I guess they're pretty rare!
- SLEEP! Really make sure that you get enough sleep if you possibly can, and if you need to then try a herbal or a prescription sleeping thing, because getting enough sleep makes everything else better!
I strongly suspect that one could help oneself by being tidy and having a place for everything and everything in its place. This would negate the need to try to kneel down and search under the bed with bad knees, and then find whatever it is isn't there anyway … However, as I'm the messiest person I know and was doing just that scrabbling under the bed thing only yesterday, I can't put that in as a personal recommendation really!

perfect timing for this post for me…
my DH says i get an A+ in cooking and a D- in cleaning…. LOL
I told him it's a good thing he's an A+ hubby!!! He too does a lot of the housework "just because"… mainly he likes a clean rug etc..
Now to my point… i have gained a lot of weight lately… (yes, i've been eating more)… but it's come on so fast and my feet and legs are so swollen.. not something i'm used to…. i'm really new to this RA thing… this is different from the "flare" that diagnosed me.. i guess i'm wondering how i tell the difference between an RA problem and a regular issue.. ie.. just plain arthritis, or stiffness… my hips and feet are giving me problems, but don't have the "lip biting" pain that i thought was RA…. yes i'm taking my meds as directed..
So any feedback would be helpful… the things i notice most are not at all in the pain dept… very tired sometimes.. and a bit blue… is this normal… Sorry to by a B ch..but would love to get an opinion from a fellow RA girl… thanks for listening…
And thank you for all your posts… they really help… be well all.. hugs Barbara

Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington) has dedicated her life to protecting and defending the public images of the nation's elite and keeping their secrets under wraps. Revered and feared at the same time, one time communications director to the President of the United States left the White House to open her own prominent crisis management firm. Olivia is hoping to start a new chapter in her life - both professionally and personally - but she can't seem to completely cut ties with her past. Slowly it becomes apparent that her dysfunctional staff, who specialize in fixing other people's lives, can't quite fix the ones closest at hand -- their own - in ABC's midseason drama, "Scandal."
In the series premiere, "Sweet Baby," young lawyer Quinn Perkins is offered a job with the crisis management firm Olivia Pope and Associates. Quinn is in awe. Olivia Pope is the former communications director to the President. She and her team of "gladiators in suites" will do whatever it takes to make their clients' problems go away, and newbie Quinn is initiated into the group with trial by fire on day one. Olivia's former boss, President Fitzgerald Grant and his chief of staff, Cyrus Beene are never far from her beat - and when a White House intern accuses the President of having an affair, Olivia is the only one they trust to diffuse the problem.

Hi all,
Reaching 1000 caches (a few times) raised a number of questions that no one seemed to want to tackle, like how many were placed since caching started here, what percentage have been archived, what's the ratio of cache types over time, are we being overrun with micros, etc, etc?
So I PQ'd grnbrg's archived cache list (thanks) and then tried to add all the active caches in Manitoba into GSAK. Exported it into excel via csv and ran a bunch of pivot table queries and generated the following tables which people may find interesting (I know I did).
First archived caches. Naturally the older the cache the more likely it is to be archived but I was surprised that only 20% of caches placed since caching began in MB have been archived. The table below shows by year the cache was placed the percentage of active vs archived caches. Note that we are at 1290 total placed caches. I noticed that I seem a couple of caches light on the active count (1020 rather than 1022) so there may be a few errors but it should be pretty close.
Next was the type of caches placed from the beginning
This wasn't too surprising although I didn't realise there had been that many events already. Then it was split out by year.
This is a very encouraging trend for caching in Manitoba. Looks like a log growth curve.
By this point I was starting to wonder about cache density so I popped the data into a GIS and ran a kernel density grid analysis on 100 m resolution for Manitoba and 50 m in Winnipeg. Winnipeg's density was so much higher than every where else I had to show the Manitoba density as a standard deviation to have any other hotspots show up (a little over 400 of the active caches in MB are within the perimeter by the way). It gives you a good idea where the hot spots of caching are in the province.
Note that the Winnipeg area analysis uses the perimeter (roughly) as a cutoff but much of the high density caching unfiltered was carried to the northeast all the way to Bird's Hill PP.
Its pretty easy to see where there is room for more caches and where the density is already pretty high. The highest density spot is the UofM with over 10 caches/sq km.
Amazing! You've put a whole lot of work into this Sean! I'm extremely impressed. I'm a fan of statistics.
I would be interested in having this permanently available on our web site. Is this something you'd be willing to share there?
You're my hero!
Another stat that was queried because it was there, was what is the probability of a given cache type containing a travel bug? Now you know.
I also looked at whether or not difficulty and terrain ratings were changing over the years and it seems a bit inconclusive on a cursory view. You can get the whole spreadsheet with all the various worksheets from here. Feel free to take it and massage out other stats that appear to support any number of viewpoints.
Now I should sleep Gnite all.
Now I personaly could think of several other things to do at 2 am on a Saturaday morning, 1 being night caching, 2 being under the sheetes dreaming about caching, but none the less very impressive.
I proudly point out the map where the two rivers meet in the north...quite impressive red coloring there don't ya think? HUmmmmmmmm!
Never ceases to amaze me the tallents we find caching.
Quite the interesting. I may only be a newbie cacher still, but it's still quite informative. I KNEW we weren't being overrun with micros. As said elsewhere... like 90% of the micros are either Mayors or Conquistas (which tend to still indeed be fun for the most part).
Yeah, safe assumtion caches placed in winter will be less. Well... at least I'll be adding at least one in December (unless something else goes horribly wrong) :P. Possibly two, but we'll see.
But as someone else mentioned, these would be interesting to see on the main mbga page.
ertyu wrote:
There is one problem though, many of the "micros" are listed as small caches.
This is true (if one goes by my definitions... that being that an altoids container is a micro). I asked on the geocaching.com board about that once, and the general consensus is that an altoids tin (regular size) was a small.
Bah... the first cache I'm putting out will be a 'small', but I could easily fit about 6-8 altoids tins INSIDE of it :P I say we lobby that Altoids tins be called micros

Actually they are already on the MBGA website in an album here. I do this type of work for a living so it really didn't take long. Took me longer to try to get the images posted properly while working around the idosyncrocies of IE7.

Review: Apple iPod shuffle (Fourth-Generation)
Company: Apple Computer
Website: www.Apple.com
Model: iPod shuffle (fourth-generation)
Price: $49 (2GB)
Compatible: PC/Mac
Pros: A smarter, redesigned sequel to Apple's entry-level iPod, containing the best features from prior iPod shuffle generations with relatively few and small compromises. Restored five-button control scheme is augmented by new VoiceOver and battery level button, while support for remote controls remains. New polished metal body may appeal to some users; size is nearly as small as one could expect a device with these features to become without compromising the usability of the button-based control system. Available in five different colors, each with a matching rear clip for easy wearing. Affordable.
Cons: Features are not competitive with rival products at the same price. Even slower than unimpressive predecessor for music and file transfers. Initial collection of colors is muted and somewhat dull by comparison with the best past iPod models; some may find the polished texture to be too slippery. Included USB cable is tiny. Only one storage capacity.
Apple's original iPod shuffle was easy to understand when it debuted in January 2005. Back then, Apple was on the cusp of becoming a mass-market retailer, and the least expensive model in its iPod lineup was the $249 iPod mini. Apple needed something really cheap for kids and grandparents, an iPod it could sell at Walmart and use to build market share in developing countries. So the original screenless, Click Wheel-less, fancy box-less $99 iPod shuffle made sense. It had a big play button, a ring with small track and volume buttons, one port for earphones, one port for charging, a necklace so that you could wear it, and a rechargeable battery inside. Dead simple.
But as the years passed, it became confusing. Every competing device in its price range grew a screen, and Apple refused to follow suit. Instead, Apple tried to find justifications to keep the shuffle around, switching its plastic body to metal with the second-generation version, and making it even smaller. Then, with the release of last year's third-generation model, the shuffle officially became silly, losing its buttons entirely and becoming a bland-looking metal stick with a clip on the back. It looked and felt like a designers' in-joke that had somehow made it to market, ease of use and iconic looks be damned. We called it the "worst iPod ever," and time proved the design to be even more problematic than we'd expected: moisture-related shorting problems with its remote-controlled earphones eventually forced Apple into a rare public recall and replacement program.
To Apple's credit, the fourth-generation iPod shuffle (2GB/$49) arrived faster than its predecessors, which typically survived for two or so years before receiving refreshes. This time, the company has played things safe: the new iPod shuffle isn't fancy, revolutionary, or "impossibly" anything—on the surface, it looks like a more conservative redesign of the second-generation model than last year's version. It also debuts at the lowest launch price point ever for a new iPod, matching the mid-lifecycle $49 asking price of the 1GB second-generation shuffle prior to its discontinuation. And the feature set will be completely familiar to anyone who has followed the shuffle family for the past two years.
But there's more to the story than that. Some of the third-generation iPod shuffle's better design and electronic changes have made their way into the new version, so we discuss them—and more—in our comprehensive review below. While you can skip straight to our conclusion that the fourth-generation model is the best overall iPod shuffle yet, there are audio, battery, and transfer speed details worth noting, and we explain the reasoning behind our rating below, as well. Read on for the details, and our buying advice, by selecting from the seven pages above and below.

Facilitating transportation to and from SES programs
Arranging for transportation for SES remains a crucial consideration for parents, and districts continue to pursue ways to assist them. Districts might consider whether they have the capacity and resources to provide transportation directly to students receiving SES, and whether other transportation arrangements involving the resources of providers and community organizations are possible.
At a minimum, districts should clearly indicate to parents the locations at which providers are offering services and which providers offer transportation to and from their programs.
While a district may provide transportation directly or through other arrangements, it may not count the costs of such transportation toward satisfying its expenditure requirements under the law.
Allowing providers' access to school facilities. Districts have eased parents' transportation needs by allowing providers to work at school sites, which may make accessing SES easier for parents than if they have to transport their children to other locations in the district. Moreover, transportation could be provided from school sites through various arrangements, given district, school, and provider capacities. In some cases, allowing providers on site may enable students to access a school's late bus to get home. In cases where a school has an out-of-school program that provides transportation, districts and providers might also consider working with the school to include students receiving SES in existing out-of-school transportation arrangements, to the extent practicable. In cases where there are multiple providers serving at a school site, the district, school, and providers might also consider pooling resources to provide transportation home for students receiving SES at the site.
For more information on arranging for provider access to school facilities, see p. 31.
Involving community centers. Districts have further assisted parents by facilitating providers' access to community centers and other neighborhood buildings, including those of faith-based organizations. This can be particularly effective in addressing issues of transportation as these centers are located in neighborhoods where students eligible for SES live. Many students also may already be involved in activities at these local centers during out-of-school time. Moreover, as community and faith-based organizations often offer learning opportunities for adults simultaneously with those for children, providing SES at these local sites may be an added draw for parents.
Involving community organizations that provide transportation. Districts could also facilitate transportation for SES by working with local groups, including faith-based organizations, that provide transportation throughout the community or that have transportation resources. Such organizations could incorporate SES transportation into other transportation schedules and could provide transportation on a voluntary basis or for a nominal fee. Districts should ensure that any organization they partner with carries a sufficient amount of insurance and possesses any clearances needed to provide transportation to students.

Considering how terrible this year's flu is, odds are good that you've already become a languid pile of festering contagions. And in case you've managed to evade the virus thus far, get thee a flu shot ASAP, obviously—but then go work out. It may just double your chances of staying plague-free.
Flu shots themselves are, at best, usually only about 70% effective, depending on how many antibodies it helps the body produce. It's common knowledge that those in good shape are better equipped to fight the flu, but even the elderly, who don't often respond well to inoculation, were able to improve their odds with increased exercise.
There's even good news for the exercise averse: all it takes is a single, 90-minute post-shot workout session to double your body's antibody response. And until then, trust no one. [The New York Times]

Oh… Canada. The Japanese will fly around with an albatross lodged in airplane's nose, but you let a cute little kitten take over the cockpit of one of your airliners and ground the plane for four hours.
It happened this morning in Halifax when a cat named Ripples burst out of his carrier and into the cockpit. A 20-minute search revealed nothing so the crew shut down the plane to "calm the cat." That's right. The cat was calling the shots.
To make matters worse the cat wiggled its way in a sensitive part of the cockpit where it could screw with and possibly disable the plane's avionics. They eventually found the cat but had to delay the flight for hours to make sure the plan was safe to fly.
The good-natured Canadians are playing this off as a bizarre inconvenience rather than the serious threat it really is. Want to stop an airliner? Just train a cat to run into the cockpit and start pulling wires. Horrifying. (Hat tip to Hoonabumper!)

Always Fun..Hang'n with my Son
Rockies vs Giants Game 2
It may be the "Year of the Fan" but it's damn sure not the "Year of the Ranter".
Batting practice was so bad that I'm considering not going for a while because I'm struggling finding zen. The combination of the Usher who told me I can't use the same gate I've been using for 4 years, the gates opening the late, and the Rockies skipping out early for BP, I can't win here.
Props to Hunter for snagg'n his first toss-up of the season, from a Mets player…Sad
I decided to let the guy below pick tonight's winner. Sucks for him though… He picked a little more than the Mets.
Here are my game pictures.
Scutaro leads off with a single, steals second and third.
Jon's the man.
Guillermo Moscoso first MLB pitch.
Guillermo was brought up from AAA to replace Jeremy Guthrie who hurt himself in a bike accident.
Bob with a pep talk.
Sorry Duece.
Dex and the Nacho guy.
Here's where the Mets catcher takes one in the crotch. Look closely at his face.
The urge to vomit sets in.
A small group forms, all thankful it wasn't them.
Missed that one.
Happy Camper…What's up with that Rockies hat though??
Check the dude on the right.
A Facebook friend.
Tyler Colvin hits a triple.
Ninth inning, two out…In comes Giambi to pinch hit for Scutaro, Coors Field goes nuts.
With Colvin on third, with a chance to tie it up…Giambi pops out.
Nice try G…Final Score
Tiebreaker tomorrow with Moyer on the mound. I'm "D" the Ranter and I enjoyed this game, despite the loss.
Maybe it's cause I was hang'n with my boy…"D"

8 Ways to Make Your Skin-Care Products More Effective
"Think of the surface of the epidermis—those dead cells—as a barrier," says dermatologist Amy Wechsler. "You have to remove it for products to get in." This particular barrier is more like a gossamer curtain than a brick wall, however, so go easy.
Basic cleansers free up pores by removing dirt and oil, but to truly increase absorption, you'll need an enzyme– or acid–based cleanser.
Like Southwest Airlines, your skin has a firm first-come-first-serve policy. "Whatever goes on first penetrates best," says dermatologist Jeannette Graf. So whether you're fighting wrinkles, zits, or sun spots, the most active ingredients should be applied first. If you're using two products for two different problems, apply one to bare skin in the morning and the other to bare skin at night so you're guaranteed 100 percent efficacy from both. After treatments are in place, smooth on other items in order of density, from thinnest (antioxidant serum) to thickest (sunscreen or night cream). The exception is retinoids, which could irritate those with sensitive skin if applied first.
Damp skin acts like a sponge, quickly absorbing whatever comes its way. (That's damp, not wet.) This rule applies to almost every product—even retinoids. The only exception? Mineral-based sunscreen. "It's not absorbed," says dermatologist David Bank. "It's designed to sit on the surface of the skin and reflect the sun's rays. On damp skin, mineral blocks tend to run, give uneven coverage, and look chalky."
When you wash your face with lukewarm water instead of cold, you raise the skin's temperature slightly, causing blood vessels and pores to dilate in an effort to cool you down. "Space between the cells means there's a greater surface area for absorption, which helps product get in," says dermatologist Heidi Waldorf. Plus, ingredients move through skin and interact with cells more quickly when the skin is warm, says Bank.
"One of the best ways to boost absorption is to top ingredients with heavy, occlusive ointments," says Waldorf. Thick ointments and creams with large amounts of petrolatum, natural butters, oils, and waxes make the best occlusive agents, says cosmetic chemist Jim Hammer. But don't start slapping Vaseline over every product from your medicine cabinet. "I'd never do it with retinoids, acids, vitamin C, or hydroquinone," Wechsler says. "You can essentially double their strength and create lots of irritation." Also, skip this entirely if you're prone to acne.
These line-fighting superheroes do their best work under cover of darkness, because both prescription and over-the-counter versions degrade and weaken in the sun.
Another distinct advantage night has over day: Skin temperature rises by about half a degree while we sleep, because more blood is shunted to the skin, away from internal organs. And with greater warmth and blood-vessel dilation comes better penetration. Says Bank, "Though it's not an enormous difference, your skin does absorb more overnight." This pertains to any ingredient you apply before bed, not just retinoids.
When you want maximum impact from a fragrance, you buy the parfum, not the scented body wash. Similarly, you'll find the strongest dose of active ingredients in serums—not, say, cleansers. "A serum is a concentrated source of an active ingredient in a simple form that penetrates very quickly and completely, unhindered by lotion-type emollients that make it difficult for actives to sink in," Hammer says.
Like Beyoncé and Jay-Z, some ingredients are notable power couples. "Sunscreen and antioxidants were born to be married," says dermatologist Ranella Hirsch. As the former absorbs UV rays, the latter neutralizes the free radicals created by those rays before they can do damage. If your SPF doesn't include them, layer an antioxidant serum underneath. Many antioxidants also complement peptides: "They bolster the skin's ability to protect and heal itself, allowing collagen-building peptides to work better," says Bank. Retinoids and hydroquinone are another dynamic duo—one typically prescribed for the dark splotches of melasma. "They get out pigment in different ways," says Waldorf. Other smart combos exist in the prescription realm—"benzoyl peroxide may enhance the bacteria-killing powers of the topical antibiotic clindamycin," Wechsler says—but this is a tricky topic, so talk to your dermatologist before mixing and matching.

The drama continues and the geo-political risk premium rises as al-Qaeda terrorists yesterday ambushed a bus, took up to 41 hostages including several Americans and took control of a BP PLC natural gas field. Overnight word of hostages escaping is a good sign but the ramifications from terror incident are far from over. The FT reports that a group calling itself the Masked Brigade claimed responsibility for the act and is being led by Moktar Belmoktar, an Algerian former al-Qaeda leader and smuggler dubbed "The Uncatchable" by French intelligence. The terror act has raised concerns that al-Qaeda would start to make good on their threat to attack energy facilities around the globe and perhaps use these facilities as weapons of terror.
Now because the plant was a natural gas field and not an oil facility the petroleum markets seemed more moved by inventory data than by the news. The oil market is already pumped up with risk premium and so this new act, while unexpected, had been priced in as this has long been a possible scenario. Still Algeria is a major supplier of gas to Europe and with very cold weather in Europe this is the market that will be most impacted in the short term. In the longer term it raises concerns that other energy facilities will become the target of future al-Qaeda attacks.
Oil supply surprisingly fell yesterday as a drop in Saudi Production and a shutdown of the Seaway Pipeline for expansion took a toll on U.S. imports. U.S. crude oil imports averaged more than 8.0 million barrels per day last week down by 312 thousand barrels per day from the previous week. That led to a one million barrel crude supply drop. That was a surprise and was the main reason that oil stayed strong. Over the last four weeks, crude oil imports have averaged about 7.9 million barrels per day, just under 1.2 million barrels per day below the same four-week period last year. Total motor gasoline imports (including both finished gasoline and gasoline blending components) last week averaged 375 thousand barrels per day. Distillate fuel imports averaged 186 thousand barrels per day last week.
The good news was that distillate fuel inventories increased by 1.7 million barrels last week. This is the part of the complex that is of the most concern because supply according to the Energy Information Administration is at the lower limit of the average range for this time of year. The EIA in a must read says that electric power companies add physical capacity to their fleets in two primary ways: Building new generators or buying existing generators from another company. The purchase and sale of power plants is a key business activity in the electric power sector. In 2012, over 107 gigawatts (GW) of operating capacity were bought and sold in the U.S. electric power market — the majority of which came from three large mergers or acquisitions — compared to about 26 GW of capacity additions from newly constructed plants (both actual and planned as reported to EIA).
