Are you thinking about summer yet?
Posted on
As I am sitting here listening to the rain, I am also chatting to a friend about the possibility of going on holiday together. Going away with friends is great fun but going away with new friends means that we will be on our best behaviour, being more courteous, considerate of our guests, hoping the children are on their best behaviour and trying to look good in a swimsuit.
It may feel like we are still in the height of winter, but before you know it, spring will be in the air (she hopes) and we will see the first snowdrops springing to life from the frosty earth. While it's probably going to still be a little cold for me to expose my legs to the elements, it won't be long before we are hopefully ditching the knitted dresses and tights and opting for summer skirts instead.
Winter is a season when many of us forget, choose to ignore, or simply don't have time to consider the importance of pampering, unless it involves a gorgeous soak in the bath among a handful of scented candles, a good book and a fizzy bath bomb. Looking after your skin may have been pushed to the back of the to-do list; after all, it's winter!
With spring just a couple of months away, now's the time to think about a suitable routine so that you can be looking and feeling fabulous in a spring dress in no time. With plenty of George dress options making their way onto the rails, prepping your legs so that you can look as fab as possible in them is a must! I have lived in their knitted dresses for work this winter, so can't wait to see the new collections.
Exfoliation may seem like a fairly obvious step, but rough patches and dead skin (shudder) can accumulate which, considering it's the winter, we probably won't care too much about. However, if you're ready to get into a gorgeous sundress, exfoliation will help to get them back to ship-shape condition!
Enough said.
This is essential to keep your skin moisturised, especially if you've just exfoliated or shaved. It'll help to keep your skin hydrated and feeling supple. Choose a cream that doesn't leave behind any sticky residue and make it a ritual after your shower.
We all love a summer holiday, not just for the break but for the bronzed look you come home with. If, like me, you don't want to expose your skin, take the cheat option and tan at home instead with some self-tanning products, just make sure you don't end up streaky. Here speaks the voice of experience!
The New Year is a great time to begin an exercise programme and you don't even have to join a gym either; there are plenty of home exercises that you can incorporate into your daily routine. Some friends and I are trying to motivate and encourage (or shame each other) every day into doing exercise. It is day 14 and I have done something every day so far. Let's see how we are on day 114!
So I have my plan on getting my body into shape for our holidays this year, I just need to work on keeping the children (and other half) in line ...... and deciding where we are going to go!
Disclaimer: This post was brought to you in collaboration with George at Asda but as a regular customer, this is also a natural recommendation. All summer body concerns and tan experiences are our own.

Mealy Cabbage Aphids on my Brussels Sprouts!
Last year it was caterpillars, this year it's aphids. Something always seems to want to eat my brassicas!
These were found on the tips of the sprouts last week and weren't immediately obvious. We first noticed yellow patches on the young leaves that were starting to wrinkle. On closer examination (hidden inside the new leaf) we found this colony of Mealy Cabbage Aphid.
A heavy attack can kill the tips of the shoots which may encourage new side shoots. The aphids also like the taste of radish and swede so keep an eye on those veggies too.
As they are a sap eating insect (and can therefore spread virus') control is encouraged. An insecticidal soap spray can be used (see blog on home made recipes).
We suffered a similar problem last October on the kale.
This year I've removed the infected leaves as I'm attempting to garden without the use of any sprays, including home made soap or garlic.
Although the broad beans were heavily infected with black bean aphid, it was interesting to observe how many predatory insects were on the plants too - particularly ladybirds and what I'm fairly certain were soldier beetles, offering some form of control.

Einstein was a pacifist but still knew when it was time to go to war. You've got to spray; if you don't take care of pests they will take care of your garden. Don't be an idealist. You'll get nowhere.ReplyDelete
Thanks for your comment Anonymous, but I have to disagree. We didn't use any sprays this year (I've used garlic in the past) and could see a noticable increase in beneficial insects -in particular ladybirds and hoverflies (and their larvae). Spraying kills everything - not just the 'baddies'. Next year I'm tempted to try out more biological controls though, especially Steinernema Carpocapsae for caterpillars.ReplyDelete

text: From all engineering disciplines, Environmental Engineering is probably the one which has to deal with the largest uncertainty in its models and data; in addition, it is frequently subject to limited data and scarce information. To date this profession has only very few instruments to systematically deal with these challenges. Our Department tries to fill this gap. Today's research focus is: • Identify uncertainty, variability and risk, and characterize their effect concerning design and operation of water infrastructure systems in the built environment • Develop methods to quantify the uncertainty in the interpretation of experiments and in the development of models • Develop methods for the calibration and validation of flow models for technical reactors which do not perform according to expectation This theme covers all aspects of the interrelationship between engineering and the natural environment. It is thus arguably the broadest, necessitating much collaboration across disciplines. The CWEE has considerable expertise in Water Engineering & Environment, through its successful and long running. With the recent appointment of new staff, the water and environmental expertise has been strengthened further and new areas of research have been developed, particularly those associated with treatment processes and Environmental Engineering. There are, in addition, several other staff within the University whose research interests cover the field of environmental management and engineering.

Just a few flurries, but it was very seasonal for the Winter Solstice today.
We'll have a late Hanukkah celebration with my sister Amy's family and our stepmother tomorrow. There will be cheese (goat brie, lemon Stilton, mustardseed gouda, and cordobes) and crackers with fig jam and red grapes; latkes (shredded potato pancakes) with applesauce and sour cream; beef brisket made with beer; fresh spinach cooked with scallions and parsley; cucumber sunomono (made by smillaraaq); chocolate Hanukkah gelt (coins); and iced gingerbread cookies (made by The Young Lady) ... .
The smell of the gingerbread is killing me ... soooo good! It's a Smitten Kitchen recipe, which was in turn adapted from Martha Stewart. (No, they are not directly on top of the newspaper ... there's a sheet of waxed paper under them.)
And yay for holiday cards! Many thanks to everyone who's been sending them!

HOMESTEAD, Fla., May 27 (UPI) -- The flying of a Confederate battle flag may force the cancellation of this year's Veterans Day parade in the city of Homestead, Fla., officials say.
The military affairs committee of the city Chamber of Commerce will decide next month whether to hold a parade in light of a complaint from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Miami Herald reported Wednesday.
The NAACP's Miami-Dade chapter launched a campaign against the city after the Sons of Confederate Veterans were allowed to march in the parade for the first time last November carrying a Confederate battle flag.
The chamber's board of directors has voted unanimously to recommend the military affairs committee disband the 47-year-old parade when it meets June 4.
"Canceling the parade is a head-in-the-sand approach," says Brad Brown, first vice president of the Miami-Dade chapter of the NAACP. "It's a way of trying not to deal with the issue."

Back in November Nokia was seeking to ban the sales of BlackBerry devices which had WLAN capabilities. Allegedly, RIM and Nokia had not come to agreement on royalties.
That's all changed as RIM and Nokia have settled their differences and entered into a new patent licensing agreement. Check out the press release below:
Press Release
RIM payments to Nokia settle all legal actions between the companies
Espoo, Finland – Nokia has entered into a new patent license agreement with Research In Motion. The agreement will result in settlement of all existing patent litigation between the companies and withdrawal of pending actions in the US, UK and Canada related to a recent arbitration tribunal decision.
The financial structure of the agreement includes a one-time payment and on-going payments, all from RIM to Nokia. The specific terms of the agreement are confidential.
"We are very pleased to have resolved our patent licensing issues with RIM and reached this new agreement, while maintaining Nokia's ability to protect our unique product differentiation," said Paul Melin, chief intellectual property officer at Nokia. "This agreement demonstrates Nokia's industry leading patent portfolio and enables us to focus on further licensing opportunities in the mobile communications market."
During the last two decades, Nokia has invested approximately EUR 45 billion in research and development and built the wireless industry's strongest and broadest IPR portfolio, with around 10,000 patent families. Nokia is a world leader in the development of handheld device and mobile communications technologies, which is also demonstrated by Nokia's strong patent position.

Development of task-specific electronic medical record (EMR) searches and user interfaces has the potential to improve the efficiency and safety of health care while curbing rising costs. The development of such tools must be data-driven and guided by a strong understanding of practitioner information requirements with respect to specific clinical tasks or scenarios. To acquire this important data, this paper describes a model by which expert practitioners are leveraged to identify which components of the medical record are most relevant to a specific clinical task. We also describe the computer system that was created to efficiently implement this model of data gathering. The system extracts medical record data from the EMR of patients matching a given clinical scenario, de-identifies the data, breaks the data up into separate medical record items (eg, radiology reports, operative notes, laboratory results, etc), presents each individual medical record item to experts under the hypothetical of the given clinical scenario, and records the experts' ratings regarding the relevance of each medical record item to that specific clinical scenario or task. After an iterative process of data collection, these expert relevance ratings can then be pooled and used to design point-of-care EMR searches and user interfaces tailored to the task-specific needs of practitioners.
Adoption of electronic medical records (EMR) has increased dramatically over the past decade, driven in part by sizeable federal subsidies [
In light of these challenges, the efficiency and accuracy of practitioner data retrieval should be a key focus in the ongoing design of clinical EMR systems and supporting software tools. The addition of advanced EMR search capabilities, such as keyword searches, have improved radiologist efficiency and have the potential to improve patient outcomes [
A major challenge in designing these task-specific EMR tools for clinical use is obtaining the information about which components of the EMR are most relevant to practitioners in specific clinical scenarios. To overcome this, we propose a strategy for collecting these relevancy data. The proposed approach starts by extracting and de-identifying medical record data from an actual patient in a given clinical scenario. The medical record is then disassembled into component medical record items (eg, radiology reports, operative notes, laboratory results, etc), which are individually presented to a panel of clinical experts. Each medical record item is rated by the experts for its relevance to a specific clinical scenario or task. This process is performed iteratively for multiple patients in the same clinical scenario, thereby creating a robust body of expert-provided relevancy data that indicates which medical record items are most valuable in that particular clinical scenario. The expert-generated relevance data can then be used to design and validate EMR search algorithms and user interfaces tailored to that clinical scenario.
In this study, we describe a software system that we created to implement this process of data collection. We hope this work will serve as the basis for ongoing efforts to improve the value of EMR technology for patients and practitioners.
A tool was created to extract, de-identify, and format data from our institution's EMR system according to the defined schema. The first version of this tool was designed around the clinical scenario of a radiologist interpreting an abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan for a patient with a clinical history of abdominal pain. When an index abdominal CT scan matching this specific clinical scenario was identified, the queriable patient inference dossier EMR search/aggregation tool was used to find and extract all radiology reports, operative notes, laboratory results, pathology reports, endoscopy reports, and microbiology results for the given patient within a period extending from 2 years prior to the index radiology exam to 2 years after the index exam [
A separate tool was created to manage the collection of expert ratings. The tool was designed to represent incoming sample medical record data sets, information on raters, and the assigned rating scores. The data model to represent these data is presented in
Three system interfaces were necessary to permit rater and administrative interaction with the system. The first interface, or task list, showed raters their current set of assignments so they could advance to the next task when finished. The central interface of the system laid out the clinical context for the rater and asked them to assign a relevance score to a medical record item. Finally, an administrative interface was needed for manipulating the scenario families and user assignments and monitoring progress of tasks across the system.
We used open source technologies to implement this system, specifically choosing the Ruby on Rails Web application framework backed by the SQLite3 database engine [
Rating collection tool data model. Inside the collection tool, each set of sample medical records is represented by a ScenarioFamily object, which contains many Scenario objects, which in turn contains many MedicalRecordItems. Expert raters are represented by User objects and are associated with a ScenarioFamily via a RatingAssignment. Raters create an ItemRating object for each MedicalRecordItem within Scenarios belonging to each ScenarioFamily to which they are assigned.
After obtaining institutional review board approval, the utility of the data extraction tool was demonstrated by extracting data from our institution's EMR and successfully generating de-identified sample medical record data sets. In general, the automated redaction process was quite effective. However, to ensure maximal protection of potentially sensitive patient information, each data set was further manually examined for residual protected health information, which was then redacted by hand. De-identified data sets were then imported into the database of the rating collection tool using a separate command line utility. The rating collection tool was not actively connected to the EMR system. The scenario data sets were grouped into scenario families; each scenario is composed of a specific example of the clinical context defined by the scenario family.
Persons serving as expert reviewers were directed to the system home page, where they could register for a rater account by providing basic personal information to a Web interface. An administrator then assigned each registered user to scenario families based on their clinical expertise using a command line tool. Once scenario assignments were made, the user logged into the system and could see their list of scenario assignments (
After choosing a scenario from the task list, the system brings the user into the main rating interface (
When the rater clicks on a specific medical record item in the list on the left-hand column of the screen, the system presents the rater with the medical record item in full detail in the right-hand column along with the choices for rating relevance. The rating relevancy choices are represented both as words ("irrelevant," "unlikely relevant," "probably relevant," and "certainly relevant") and as a number of filled-in stars (0-3). Once the rater clicks on a relevancy rating, the system automatically presents the next medical record item in the right-hand column. When all of the medical record items have been rated in a given scenario, the rater is taken to the first item in the next scenario in the scenario family. Likewise, when all of the scenarios in the scenario family have been rated, the rater is returned to the home page, where they can choose to proceed to the next uncompleted assignment.
An administrative user can track the progress of raters through their assigned scenario families via an overview interface (
Finally, once the assigned panel of raters has rated the relevant items for the individual scenarios in a scenario family, an XML file containing the relevant rating data can be extracted. These ratings data can then be used to design and validate tailored medical record search strategies and user interfaces for a given clinical task.
Post log-in page showing assigned tasks. After a user logs into the system, they are presented with a list of their currently assigned clinical scenarios. They can use these links to move directly to the rating interface.
Expert rating interface. An expert rater considers a particular scenario family and a specific clinical context and assesses the relevance of the items in the medical record to the given scenario. Relevance is rated on a 4-step scale: irrelevant, unlikely relevant, probably relevant, and certainly relevant.
Administrator monitoring interface. An administrator keeping track of activity on the service can view the monitoring page, which shows all of the active scenario families, the scenarios making them up, the raters assigned to evaluate the items, and their progress in rating all of the items. Tools for defining new scenario families, uploading scenarios, and adding raters are also available from this page.
We have successfully designed and implemented a system for extracting exemplar medical record items, such as laboratory results and operative reports, from the EMR and obtaining task-specific expert relevance ratings for those items. The extraction tool pulls a subset of the medical records for a patient, de-identifies it, and formats it so that it can be included in the rating collection tool. The rating collection tool then allows a clinical expert, such as a radiologist for the clinical application described herein, to review and rate the component parts of even complex medical records, thereby highlighting the items in the medical record that are most relevant to a specific clinical task. Both the de-identified clinical information and the expert-supplied relevance ratings are captured, organized, and exported in a format that can be used for search strategy optimization and the design of tailored EMR user interfaces.
The design of this system was based on a few guiding principles. First, the system should be built using easily available, well-understood open source tools according to standard design patterns. Second, the system should easily fit into a broader framework for designing medical record searches and user interfaces, including, but not limited to, importing and exporting open formats to simplify data interchange. Finally, the system's interface with expert raters should be simple and efficient.
Based on these principles, we created a system to reduce the effort associated with the collection of expert ratings data, while ensuring the accuracy and robustness of the data collected. Recognizing the high value of an expert's time, efficiency of the process was an absolute requirement. Thus, whenever an expert begins a session, he or she is moved into the process of examining and rating medical record items as rapidly and efficiently as possible. The tool also allows multiple experts to evaluate the same body of de-identified patient data. Having multiple raters review the same medical record items reduces the effect of individual rater idiosyncrasies. Moreover, new scenarios can easily be added to a family to reduce the effect of specific variations within a single source medical record, if needed. Last of all, the system allowed experts to be matched with clinical scenarios specific to their expertise.
With the software system implemented, the most important challenges to actually putting the system into use revolve around selecting an appropriate clinical scenario and recruiting appropriate experts. With regard to clinical scenarios, it is important to make the scenario specific enough so that the expert raters think they are making a concrete decision about relevance rather than an abstract one. Expert recruitment, on the other hand, benefits from selecting both highly specialized experts and more generalist practitioners. To maintain the raters' interest, everything possible should be done to reduce administrative overhead on the raters.
Looking forward, it will be important to develop a capacity to facilitate interchange between different sites or installations to maximize the generalizability of the collected ratings data. Even though the medical record items are de-identified, such interinstitutional collaborations would likely require access to be restricted to a predefined group rather than the world at large due to the potentially sensitive nature of the information. This could be accomplished by allowing each site to maintain a list of partner sites where a combination of sample medical record items and ratings data could be securely exchanged. Once established, exporting scenario data, scenario family data, and ratings data could then be available via a website. In this way, a broader range of experts and sample clinical items could be assessed, leading to a more robust body of expert ratings data.
We envision a multicenter project to collect expert relevance ratings for several clinical scenarios common to radiology. In this project, sample medical record items will be pulled from each center and pooled into a common sample set for each clinical scenario. The pooled expert relevancy ratings data can then be used to validate candidate search strategies and eventually to develop filtered views of the medical record specific for clinical tasks commonly faced by radiologists. Obviously, such interinstitution synergy poses many challenges, not least of which is the incompatibility of medical record data formats. As institutions begin such collaborations, it is important to define standards for representation of the medical record information. This could even be expanded to account for international differences. It will also likely be necessary to expand the data model to clearly state which experts should be allowed to view data from which partner institutions. These additional efforts would be rewarded by a much richer set of sample medical record data and ratings.
The approach we outlined emphasizes a "wisdom of crowds" data-driven approach to identifying likely-to-be relevant medical record information rather than an expert-driven methodology. We designed the tool described herein to gather this collective intelligence because it is much harder to incorporate such information into a design process. In fact, we believe that the most effective search strategies will be generated by starting with hyper-local experts, who define relevance based on their specialized experience, and then proving and testing their designs against crowd-sourced data. Far from denigrating the potential contribution of individual innovation, we hope to provide a way to hone those contributions. Future versions of the software could allow the raters to provide specific comments and notes to search designers to further spur these efforts.
In sum, context-specific EMR searches and user interfaces have the potential to increase the efficiency and safety and reduce the cost of health care delivery. To achieve these ends, development of these tools must be data-driven and influenced by an understanding of practitioner information requirements. The data collected using the herein described software tool can serve as the basis for acquiring this essential guidance, with the ultimate goal of creating tools that allow physicians to rapidly and effectively navigate EMR systems. By providing this as an open-source tool with open formats for data interchange, we hope to bolster the adoption of the process through interinstitutional synergy.

Rosie Doherty, 21 from Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, the UK has told that glamor modeling has saved her from depression and has given her will for life back.
A sufferer of OCD and incestuously mocked at school, Rosie Doherty told how entering the foray of glamor modeling has curtailed her panic and anxiety attacks which used to make her life a misery.
So bad were state of affairs that the model admits at one stage admits thats her neurosis would lead to her inability to even attend classes.
But that according to the model changed after she took modeling for lads' mags, which along with Rosie shedding her clothes also came to lead to her shedding her inhibitions.
Ironically told the model, one of the strongest sources of teasing was her lack of a chest – with other girls bullying her for her slow development.
Told Rosie Doherty via the UK's dailymail: 'When I was 12, everyone else had boobs but me – girls used to laugh and call me 'AA'.
'It's ironic really considering how things turned out.
'I suffered badly with depression – OCD, panic attacks and all sorts of things.
'I didn't enjoy school at all – I had no self-confidence and didn't want to see other people – in the end I just told my mum I wasn't going.'
Despite not turning up very often, Rosie still did well in her GCSEs, but it wasn't until she turned 18 that her confidence began to return.
Following her 'feel the fear and do it anyway' motto, she took herself down to a promotional photo shoot.
Armed with the pictures Doherty built up her portfolio and started sending them to the lads' mags, before soon finding herself garnering attention from the industry.
Reiterated the glamor model: 'People say all these things about glamour modelling, but for me, it totally turned my life around.
'A lot of that is to do with a feminist petition saying they were against it for objectifying, almost dehumanizing, women.
'But for me it was absolutely the opposite. It was about female power, and taking a stand, and saying "this is me, this is who I am, this is my body".
'Seeing myself in those magazines had a massive impact on my confidence – I finally felt like me again.'
However, her path into the industry hasn't always been smooth, especially for her relationship with her father.
Told the model: 'When I first started he wasn't happy because I'm his little girl.
'But I spoke to him and said, "I'm a woman now, this is my choice, there's nothing wrong with what I'm doing, and I want to be open and honest with my family".
'Once we had that conversation he was happy with my decision.'
She's quick to point out that she doesn't do modelling for an ego trip and shies away from flashing her flesh on social media.
Rosie says it's all about her transformation and her independence.
Reiterates Doherty: 'I've got imperfections, scars and cellulite, just like any other woman, and I'm still putting myself out there.
'I'm not scared of people's opinions or judgments – for me it's about independence, taking charge of your own life, and just being comfortable in your own skin.
'You're always going to be judged, from the first moment you step out of the house until you return.
'If you're happy and you feel good about the choices you make, then what else matters?'
Since coming out the web remains divided as to whether Rosie's new foray will ensure her lasting happiness…which one wonders hints at the discord of attitudes towards women's desire to attain self affirmation.

If you are an outgoing fashion forward young woman you most definetely know how you want to look and make it happen. You should take care of your clothes, haircut and make up, so that you look the part. But you should never forget accessories. If you are like me you would be all about them. A wardrobe with quality basics and a stack of the perfect and right accessories is a vote for success. So what are actually the main things you should own in that department before diversing a variety? Here is an ideia.
A small go-to party bag
It is an essential because let's face it you probably go out a lot. And you should have a purse where you put all of your essentials. And even if you are not the party goer those kind of bags work for all types of night events. There is the crossbody type which will be perfect for a venue concert or just a girls night out, because you can keep all your props near your body, so that you can't loose them or be robbed. The small corssbody bags are offered by brands like Yves Saint Laurent, Jimmy choo, Free People. That is if you are on the higher budget and you want to invest. For the girls on the lower budget there are some great finds on asos.com for example. You bag should be one of the following types a�� either a very basic black or one colored bag or a statement one. It depends on what do you most often wear. The cluth also falls into this group of bags. If you are a clutch girl good for you. There are different options in that case too. From small to bigger. Fromstructured to soft. From basic to statement. You should choose what works best for you.
Sleek gloves
As it is right now a�� a winter you most definetely need a great pair of gloves. First of all that keep your hands warm from that awful cold outside and prevent dry sking and then they are a great accessorie to complete you whole look. You can never go wrong with a pair of black leather goods. But you can also try them in a variete of colors and materials. It depends on your whole look and the coat/jacket that you are wearing. Also keep in mind that you have to synchronize them with your bag.
Sparkly jewels
Everyone nees a little bit (or in some cases a lot) of sparkle sometimes. And those kind of accessories can totally complete your look and chane it up a bit. Go for some sparkling jewleries if you want to sparke up your life. You can start off with some earrings. Nowadays there are so many different types of those on the market that you won't be able to choose. Another great idea is to invest into is a sparking ring. Imagine how good will your fingers look with some soft jewels on them? And don't focus only on the ears and fingers. You can also find a great neckles with some sparkle in it. Just make sure it doesn't overpower you.
The versatile scarf
Don't you ever think that a versitile scarf is only a black one. A scarf can make your whole outfit. Right now into trent are the plid scarfs and the ones that are really colorful. Choose one that can be worn with many different styles and colors depending on what you want or like. I would go for a bigger and thicker one. A bigger scarfs automatically looks more up the road, more expensive and more fashion forward.
A great pair of tights
So again let's thinka bout the fact that it is winter. And you can't just forget about all those gorgeous dresses that you own. So that you can wear them all you should own at least one pair of great tights. They should be warm and a great fit at the same time. Probably only one pair won't work though. Thights are something that breaks a little bit too often but you can keep a stack of diffeent styles and colors so that they go with everything you own and so that you have a back up plan.
A beanie
After you already own all of the above you can't get throught the winter without having the beanie. It is also a piece that can change your whole look. And let's talk about how comfy and warm they are. Oh, and let's not forget a�� they can save a bad hairday! Right now and he previous winter in style are the beanies with something written on them. The trend was kind of set by the super model Cara Delevigne with a hat saying 'Ain't no wifey'. You can try out that trend and find a quote that you would like to be sitting on your forehead for a while. You can also try a bright color like pink or yellow, especially if you are one of the girls that is into black, all black, everything black. Everything but the hat!

Perhaps regular readers of Juan Or and Mommy's blog may have noticed of Mommy's 'disappearance' from the blogging scene one more time shortly after the recent 'disappearance' during the last week of April till the 1st week of May. This time, Mommy's 'disappearance' was not due to work stress, instead Mommy went on medical leave for the first 4 days of the week followed by a day of annual leave. So Mommy was literally unconnected throughout the week.
So what caused Mommy to have to take medical leave? Actually Mommy had a recurring eye injury that was inflicted about a year ago (you can read about what happened here and here). In short, about a year ago, Juan Or, who was 12+ months old that time, had held a back-scratcher stick and hit Mommy's right eye, so causing Mommy's cornea to be scratched, but luckily the injury was only at the outermost layer of the cornea. The wound healed, but recurred. And when it recurred, Mommy didn't know it recurred because about 2 weeks approaching the day when Mommy really had to visit the eye specialist, Mommy noticed that whenever Mommy opened the eye after long hours of sleeping, Mommy experienced dryness in that eye. But after having blinked plus keeping the eye closed for some time, the dry sensation disappeared throughout the day, so Mommy didn't give much thought to it. Then on last Saturday, the climax of the dry eye incident came when Mommy couldn't even open the right eye after long hours of sleeping and it even felt painful (or rather a very irritating sensation!) to keep the eye open! However, the irritating sensation fluctuates (ranging from less irritating to very, very irritating) throughout the day and felt very much like there was foreign particle stuck in the eye.
That Saturday night itself, after coming back from teaching piano, Mommy called up Tun Hussein Onn Eye Hospital to see whether they are opened on Sundays. The staff explained that there will be no eye specialists available on Sundays (or is it weekends? Can't remember!) and that only medical officers will be on duty. However, the hospital can call up for an eye specialist to come immediately if it is really an emergency case (and Mommy thinks probably the hospital fee will be super high too for that matter!). So on Sunday, Mommy beared with the eye discomfort to wait for Monday.
On Monday, Papa fetched Juan Or and Mommy to his parents' house very early in the morning so that father-in-law can take Mommy to the eye hospital (Mommy can hardly open the eyes at all so cannot drive!). Mommy was assigned to the same eye doctor that treated Mommy last time, Dr. George Thomas. After checking Mommy's eye with the eye-checking machine, he found that the epithelium layer of the old injury spot on the cornea had broken down. So Mommy asked him how the layer can break down by itself to which Dr. George said Mommy could have rubbed the eye too hard. This time, Dr. George instructed the nurse to put an antibiotic eyedrop and then an eye patch (which was never done in the previous treatment) to prevent Mommy's eyes from opening so that the recovery process is faster. Dr. George said that Mommy could only open the eye patch 24 hours later and thereafter apply the antibiotic eyedrop (Tobrex) once in every 2 hours and artificial tears once every hour (except during sleeping time). He also put Mommy on 4 days medical leave and required Mommy to come to see him again for follow-up on the 4th day. The medical bill that day was RM120 (RM45 for consultation, RM5 for registration, RM5 for service and RM65 for medication).
What and how does it feel like to have the eye patch on? Well, it was really no fun as Mommy realized that having the eye patch on is just as inconvenient as having other parts of your body plastered although it was just the eye and not the limb. Mommy felt handicapped throughout the 'patchy' period and surprisingly, Mommy felt drowsy and sleepy most of the time even though oral medication was not prescribed at all. It was also a feeling of inactiveness plus clumsiness, probably because of the 'handicap psychology' lurking in Mommy's head. There were certain times throughout the day when the patched eye felt an irritating sensation (though not in so much a degree as before treatment) but Mommy cannot do anything yet because it was not yet time to remove the patch. Another thing about having the eye patch on was that the eating process became tremendously inefficient as the mouth cannot even open big enough (due to the surrounding tapes that fasten the patch in place) to scoop in dinner spoon! Little bits and pieces of rice kept spilling out as Mommy ate food. Even the appetite went rock bottom!
As the days went by, the eye improved a little. There was no more irrritating sensation but vision on that eye was blurred and both of Mommy's eyes could not withstand normal sunlight. Luckily by the 4th day (when it was time to go for follow-up consultation), Mommy was able to drive again though Mommy had to have the sunglasses on to minimize the glare but still Mommy's eyes had to blink quite often when in normal sunlight.
From the follow-up consultation, after checking Mommy's eyes, Dr. George concluded that Mommy's eye showed good progress although it has not healed completely. Nevertheless, there was already a layer or so of cells covering the main injury spot though there were still small spots here and there that looked raw. Now Dr. George recommends that Mommy only have to apply the antibiotic eyedrop twice a day and the artificial tears once in every 4 hours till the supply finishes. The doctor also explained that recurrence of an old eye injury is bound to happen within 2 to 3 years and after that period, things are likely to go back to normal subjected to the new cells sticking firmly and well on the wounded spot in the first place. The medical fee for the follow-up was RM55 (RM45 for consultation, RM5 for registration and RM5 for service).
Mommy also called up Mommy's insurance agent (Prudential) to see whether the medical fee is claimable or not to which he said that claims for recurrence of an old injury is only limited to one year from the time when the injury claim started and that no subsequent medical report is needed to back up the claim. Only the receipt, credit card receipt (if paid using credit card) and a photocopy of the medical chit is needed to make the claim.
So from now on, Mommy dare not rub the right eye anymore no matter how itchy it is. By the way, Dr. George also mentioned that Mommy can still rub the unaffected eye because there was no weakness in the cornea in the first place. As of this time of writing, vision in that eye is not as blur now though the image is still not as sharp as the other eye. Mommy no longer wants this kind of thing to happen again, if possible - it's really no fun to experience it.

14.09.14 - 19.09.14, Seminar 14381
Neural-Symbolic Learning and Reasoning
The following text appeared on our web pages prior to the seminar, and was included as part of the invitation.
The goal of this Dagstuhl seminar is to build bridges between symbolic and sub-symbolic reasoning and learning representations using computer vision as a catalyst application. This will require an ability to handle big data and lifelong learning in computer vision, and enable the systematic evaluation of neural-symbolic frameworks and systems. The seminar's main focus is the integration of methods and techniques from neural computation and machine learning, cognitive science and applied logic, and visual information processing. The expected outcomes include a neural-symbolic manifesto with an in-depth re-thinking of learning models capable of incorporating symbolic representations and the definition of a neural-symbolic big-data challenge and evaluation framework.
Computational systems are having to deal with huge data sets, e.g. billions of videos on the web. A major research challenge, therefore, is how computing will respond to the needs of society in such a world where data grows exponentially. Real-world data is noisy, often incomplete and high-dimensional. The computational systems of the 21st century will have to be robust, flexible, modular and expressive in order to face up to this challenge. The techniques already being applied to tackle the big data problem can be divided into symbolic (using e.g. spatial logic, inductive logic programming) and sub-symbolic (e.g. neural networks, statistical/graphical models), supervised (using labelled data), unsupervised (unlabelled data) and semi-supervised, shallow (e.g. support vector machines) and deep-learning techniques (e.g. deep belief networks). The deep network representation allows the sharing of common features and the selective composition of features that can bring about efficient computation and good generalisation. While results in computer vision indicate that the deep learning approach is promising, considerable research is needed to realise the goals of modularity, robustness and flexibility. In particular, a better understanding of the processes underlying concept formation (like e.g. the concept of a shape) is required to enable a more systematic network set-up, robust learning and validation (i.e. explanation), and the integration of deep networks with state-of-the-art systems that are symbolic. To this end, neural-symbolic systems seek to make use of the reasoning capacities of logic, and the learning capacities of network models. In a neural-symbolic system, neural networks provide the machinery for parallel computation and robust learning, while logic provides knowledge representation and reasoning, and explanation capability to the neural models, facilitating transfer learning and the interaction between the models and the world. In this integrated model, no conflict arises between a continuous and a discrete component of the system. Instead, a tightly-coupled hybrid system exists that is continuous by nature, but that has a high-level, discrete interpretation. Neural-symbolic systems have application in knowledge acquisition areas such as visual intelligence, where a system needs to learn to adapt to changes in the environment, and to reason about what has been learned in order to respond to a new situation.
Several challenges arise in this context, which can be categorized into the following three major topics for discussion: Symbolic knowledge representation, reasoning and learning by connectionist systems (includes comparisons with purely-symbolic and purely-connectionist models, representation of temporal, modal, commonsense, relational, first-order and higher-order reasoning, emergence, connectivity, abstraction, causality and analogy); Extraction of high-level concepts and knowledge from complex networks (deals with issues of efficient and effective knowledge extraction from very large networks, comprehensibility, explanation, validation, maintenance and transfer learning); Applications in vision, robotics, simulation and the web (includes learning and description of actions and other high-level concepts from large videos, sound and sensor data, noise robustness, gap-filling and anomaly detection in surveillance data, etc.). From a more practical perspective, complex systems engineering questions also arise. Most models in science rely on numerical models while the high-level concepts referred to above tend to be feature-based. How and to which degree should we integrate geometric approaches into representation languages and still preserve tractability as a major criterion for large scale reasoning and robust learning? How do we assist users in modelling and how can we semiautomatically transform this modelled knowledge for use in analogous domains? Humans categorize and reason based on analogies and similarities. Traditional (classical) logic-based reasoning is rigid in the sense that it either produces correct answers or no answers. Our goal of flexibility requires support for gradual correctness, and handling of incomplete or contradictory information. Approximate and non-classical reasoning is needed so that learning from big data can incorporate analogy, similarity and commonsense reasoning.
The emergence of symbolic representations is natural whenever one wants to tackle complex problems that are inherently associated with huge collections of data. The workshop will promote the idea of intelligent agents that interact with the environment by life-long learning. This is particularly relevant when machine learning meets computer vision. As part of the turn of neural-symbolic integration towards the practical, the seminar will also include the evaluation of algorithms and methods. This is another fundamental issue; one of the most serious drawbacks in our field is the lack of relevant and systematic evaluation mechanisms of the research. New ideas in this direction will be discussed, with challenges posed and demonstrations given and evaluated.
The seminar will mark the 10th anniversary of the workshop series on neural-symbolic learning and reasoning (NeSy). NeSy has been gathering members of the Artificial Intelligence, Neural Computation and Cognitive Science communities since 2005, but for only one day. At the last NeSy workshop it became clear that this was not enough, given that these communities share many common goals and aspirations, but are still largely disconnected in the organization, publication and sharing of research results and systems. The desire of many at NeSy to go deeper into the understanding of the main positions and issues, and to collaborate in a truly multidisciplinary way, using computer vision as a catalyst towards achieving specific objectives, has prompted us to put together this Dagstuhl seminar marking the 10th anniversary of the workshop. We hope you will be able to attend and contribute to the seminar.

Defamation Of Character – What Happens When Double Stories Don't Stop?
So with the 4Cast project, we've been launching a series titled Thunder From Down Under, which had generated some crazy responses. The wildest things about these responses is it's both sides, not backing down from their views and opinions, and everyone is able to follow-up with "facts" disputing the other parties points.
With both sides being "right", who is right?
And to make the matter more sensitive, children, abusive homes and an abusive Child Protective Services is the subject matter. How can something involving kids be so corrupt and cutthroat? Why are kids being used to push a B.S. agenda? The whole situation is so screwed up.
The controversy is more over the host and his credentials and agenda. It seems that everyone acknowledges that there is a huge problem with CPS. This is not only a domestic problem here in the states, but an international problem stretching from the USA to the UK and Australia. From the Facebook comments we've received, it would seem that there's Canadian abuse as well.
Why CPS Exploits Children
CPS groups receives incentives for children. They get government funding for those children. Therefore, kids are worth money in the eyes of CPS and that can lead to corruption in many situations. We've heard horror stories of children being taken for no good reasons. We've even heard stories of children being taken out of good, loving families and placed into abusive and neglectful foster situations.
But on the flip-side, we've also had comments, mainly over Facebook, stating that the people aggregating these stories are full of lies. so who's right and who do you believe. Obviously one side is lying. Or one side is being fed lies and believes they're telling the truth. It's possible that everyone is feeding us lies and we're stupid for believing anyone involved in the whole damn situation.
Here's The Videos Sparking Controversy
Here's the playlist of the entire season, starting with the most recent episode and going back in time. You can see the subject matter and the people talking. They all seem incredibly legit and presenting a real issue. As I've stated, it seems to be common enough of an occurrence to be acknowledged as a real and legitimate issue. But here's some of the feedback that we've been receiving.
Here's Some Comments We've Gotten
Names have been hidden:
Matt does not need any certification to prove his loyalty and commitment to me or any of the 200 some members in our group, he has worked endless hours giving up not only sleep but his time to help people in the U.S and U.K. .Matthew Virgiin is pillar of strength to all who have been falsely accused and unjustly going through hell fighting a corrupt government to get their children back he has not only given me hope but the strength I need to go on. Thank you again Matthew.
An excellent show, Thunder Down Under with Matthew Virgiin. Matthew's heart is gold and he truly cares for families, puts himself out there to fight injustice with CPS, and spends long hours doing so. He has proven himself and I hope to see more shows with him!
Maybe you should speak to a few of us Australians who have been screwed over by him then you might not be so willing with the gratitudes!!!!!!!!
What proof do you have of any of his work in Australia – He has none whatsoever – he has been ousted by all people associated with Childrens Protection Australia wide – Matt has no credentials whatsoever, is a scammer looking for others overseas to fund him to get to USA to be with some woman he met over the internet named *************** – Check his go-fund – He is prepared to leave Australian shores forever to supposedly fight for American families leaving his 2 year old daughter behind in Lismore Australia – What kind of parent is that!!!!!
This man is a 26 year old nothing that sits on facebook and harasses people for his scam to get to America. he has not helped people in Australia at all. How can someone that is a bludger even have a radio show. He doesn't care about his own child bit can save peoples children I am mean really!!!!!!
Omg not this idiot again!! Wasnt that long ago he was arrested in South Australia and he still owes a little old lady money for rent!! THIS MAN IS A SCAMMER – WAKE UP PEOPLE – Some of you Americans have already worked this man out
What I see is a few people who have repeatedly bashed and have offered little proof. I have seen the proof of things Matt has done that are good. I guess I would offer this of what you learn in kindergarten, if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. If Matt is a fraud the truth will come out and he will be held accountable. If Matt is not a fraud you all could be liable for slander or defamation of character.
Nope sorry can not do when someone else is attacking a very good friend of mine!! And so ur the grandmother are you, yet you still side over on Matthew virgiin who has conspired to kidnap, who has been arrested and charged with possession of illegal weapons, who has threatened many people, who has absolutely no idea of family law and who has a 2 year old daughter but never bothers to see her or support her in anyway??? Hmm makes alot of sense to me too.
As you can see – Controversial / Contradicting!
Would really like to know what you guys think of this. Especially if you've had any experience with the subject matter.


text: The Fire Suppression Project at McEntire JANG Base was constructed for the USPFO for South Carolina. PASCO maintained the leading role in this project, as the scope was to install high expansion foam systems in four aircraft hangars. Our work began with the demolition of existing fire protection systems in all four hangars. PASCO then designed and hydraulically calculated new systems to meet National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards, as well as those of the base engineers, base fire officials and base commander. PASCO installed a foam/water system with 18 HEF generators and two 50,000 gallon water storage tanks. One 2,000 gpm diesel and one 2,000 gpm electric fire pump serve these systems and were also installed per NFPA code. In addition to the work done in the hangars, PASCO fire sprinklers protected the pump house which houses the equipment for these systems. The tasks of this project were closely coordinated with the ANG's maintenance personnel, to ensure the readiness of aircraft for scheduled and emergency deployment, as these aircraft are mission critical to the United States' efforts while we have servicemen and women deployed. PASCO maintained excellent relationships with the other trades involved to include the underground utilities, masons and electricians as well as military personnel. PASCO was successful in completing this project within the constraints of the JANG's schedules and budget.

Basketball Betting
When it comes to sports betting basketball is another popular major sport to choose from. It is very easy to learn how to bet on basketball. Just like football, basketball betting uses a point spread for wagering on teams along with an over/under number. S if you are familiar with betting on football then basketball betting will be even easier to get the hang of.
Betting on totals is the second most popular betting type in basketball. It is an over/under bet or the combined score of the two teams that you pick. There will be a posted number and you as the bettor will decide if you think the score will be over the posted number or under the posted number. So for example if the number was 186 bettors that wagered over would win if the number came out to 187 or greater and bettors wagering under would win if the score totaled 185 or less. If the bet comes out to the exact number posted then it is considered a tie or a push and no one wins any money.
Money Line Wagers and Point Spread
Point spread betting is the most common betting type in basketball. This is a handicap which a sportsbook places on one of the teams to make the teams more equal when betting. In a point spread bet the favorite team is the team that is predicted to win and the underdog is the team that is predicted to lose. The predicted winning team lays points to the predicted losing team for betting reasons. Point spread bets have 11-10 odds. Money line wagers are betting which team you think will win without using the point spread. With money line betting you are sometimes asked to wager considerably more than you would win just because certain teams are given a 50% or more chance of winning.
Teasers and Parlays
There are several other betting options in basketball besides the more popular ones. These include teasers and parlays. In parlays bettors will have an option to bet against the point spread or to use the money line. Teasers are based off of the point spread but the players are given options to change the spread in the favor. A big thing about betting teasers and parlays is that all of your chosen teams must win their games or else you whole bet is lost. So even if 5 out of your 6 teams win you would still lose the bet.
Betting on basketball can be great fun. It takes a little getting used to if you are new to the world of sports betting. If you have some experience in other sports like football then you are already half way there because betting in basketball is very similar. There are several different betting options that you can choose from in basketball betting. You are sure to find something that works for you and your personal playing style after you get the hang of the basics.

NOT ALWAYS A SAINTBook - 2015
After the death of his sweetheart when he was at university, Daniel Herbert buried his grief in medical studies and his passion for healing. Viewed as a saint by those who know him, in his own mind he never quite manages to live up to his own high standards.
Most men would be thrilled to learn they've inherited a title and estate from a distant relative, but Daniel is appalled because the burden of wealth will interfere with his medical calling. Warily he accepts that he must enter society and seek a wife--a sensible woman who can oversee his properties, leaving him free to continue his work. He does not expect to become intoxicated by a woman called the Black Widow, who is as mysterious as she is shockingly beautiful...
Jessie Kelham's looks have always been a curse. Now alone with a young daughter and a perilous secret, she is in need of protection. But dangerously attractive Daniel Herbert is not the kind of husband she has in mind. If he recognizes her, the demons of her past will surely erupt. Yet they cannot keep apart--and soon they are drawn into a union that may bring joy--or shattering danger...
From the critics

FIFA banned former secretary general Jerome Valcke for 12 years on Friday.
The FIFA independent ethics committee has banned former secretary general Jerome Valcke for 12 years from all football-related activity, world soccer's governing body announced Friday.
The news comes after Valcke was dismissed from his post last month.
On Friday, Valcke was found guilty by the ethics committee for violating seven sections of FIFA's code of ethics, relating to misconduct regarding World Cup ticket sales, abusing travel privileges and destroying evidence.
"Mr. Valcke acted against FIFA's best interests and caused considerable financial damage to FIFA, while his private and personal interests detracted him from his ability to properly perform his duties," a FIFA statement said.
The 55-year-old has also been fined $102,500 for his actions.
• WILSON: Explaining Leicester's fairytale
Valcke served as secretary general under FIFA president Sepp Blatter since 2007. Blatter and UEFA president Michel Platini have been sentenced to eight-year bans.

The Period of the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes
The Edict of Nantes stopped the terrible religious wars that occurred between the Protestants and the Roman Catholics. It was a bloody, gruesome fight between both groups; there were great chaos and catastrophe in France in the 1560s. For instance, on St. Bartholomew's day, in Paris, there was a Protestant massacre. The treaty of Nantes brought about much-needed peace for both the Protestants and the Roman Catholics, so that both sides could co-exist.
Edict of Nantes Definition
There was great difficulty bringing about or define the Edict of Nantes. It was a great accomplishment for Henri IV. It stimulated guidelines that saw to the religious harmony between the religious groups. It was dissimilar from the others in that it allowed for an act of sovereignty for both the Protestants and the Roman Catholics. The King deeply wished for his people to be able to "return to the true religion, which was the catholic apostolic and Roman religion." However, the edict could be considered unbalanced as it restricted the worship of the Protestants.
Read also: Consider the Significance of the Edict of Nantes 1598
Documents of the Edict: Four Distinct Texts
There were four categories of documents of this agreement. They were a first warrant, the actual edict, a second warrant and then 56 articles. In the first warrant, it is stipulated that the Protestants would obtain 4500 crowns, which would permit them to have their services and compensate their ministers or pastors. There were 92 articles in the authentic edict, which had permanent and obligatory clauses that could never be changed. The second warrant, which was revised in 1606 in addition to 1611, gave the guarantee that they had refuge for eight years in 150 locations, some 51 was strongholds. The Protestants, utilizing them strategically as garrisons, this ensured their security. However, in 1629, the Peace of Alès suppressed the warrants. The 56 articles were mentioned as being 'secret and specific'.
The Clauses of the Edict of Nantes
Within the articles, it was surmised that they favored one group over the other. For example, Roman Catholics were able to have services in most places and the buildings which they owned before, were returned to them. In the entire kingdom, mass was held, even in the Bearn country. Unfairly, the Protestants had to give their tithes to the parish priests, who were Roman Catholics.
However, the Protestants could now express themselves and their opinions freely. They could have synods and both sides had equal educational rights. They were no longer turn away from or deprived of public office. Their worship could only be kept in specific places. They could not have them in the in Paris, in the court, not even five leagues close to the capital, nor within the armed forces.
There were some general provisions within the Edict of Nantes for both the Protestants and the Catholics. Those who did crimes which were not gruesome were given amnesty. It also stipulated that there should be no uprisings or neither were persons to be provoked to do so. Every man was one and the same as another was and could change their religion, or abjure. The courts were to have legal officers from both sides; those were Protestants and those who were Catholics. Finally, all emigrants could return to their homes.

Registration of the Edict
The agreement was registered in parliament, by all, even though there were those who were very antagonistic. In Paris and in Rouen it took eleven years for it to be ratified in parliament. The King, Henri IV had to impose it on them.
Revocation of the Edict of Nantes
Henri IV enforced the Edict of Nantes throughout his reign. Charenton was close to the capital and he permitted the Protestants to gather there. King Louis XIII was not so thoughtful; he took away all their strongholds. They had to rely on his good graces. The revocation of the agreement was close at hand by 1643. Because there was religious peace up to 1660 and onwards, Louis XIV revoked the Edict of Nantes. He initially applied limited restrictions, but he was a Catholic king who harshly persecuted them and wanted them to convert. It was a period called the 'dragonnades'. By 1685, he believed there was no more opposition and as such, he revoked the Edict of Fontainebleau.

The following are foods that you may not think were healthy, however, they are very good for you.
5) Pork
Pork can be surprisingly healthy as long as the right cuts are used and you limit fats in cooking. This meat is full of protein and can be a lean choice if cooking chops and pork roast-the loin cuts. By grilling or roasting this meat, flavor can be added while minimizing extra fats.

~Some Harmfull Effects~
*Smoking KILLS
*Every year hundreds of thousands of people around the world die from diseases caused by smoking.
*One in two lifetime smokers will die from their habit. Half of these deaths will occur in middle age.
*Tobacco smoke also contributes to a number of cancers.
*The mixture of nicotine and carbon monoxide in each cigarette you smoke temporarily increases your heart rate and blood pressure,
straining your heart and blood vessels.
*his can cause heart attacks and stroke. It slows your blood flow, cutting off oxygen to your feet and hands. Some smokers
end up having their limbs amputated.
*Tar coats your lungs like soot in a chimney and causes cancer. A 20-a-day smoker breathes in up to a full cup (210 g) of
tar in a year.
*Changing to low-tar cigarettes does not help because smokers usually take deeper puffs and hold the smoke in for longer,
dragging the tar deeper into their lungs.
*Carbon monoxide robs your muscles, brain and body tissue of oxygen, making your whole body and especially your heart work
harder. Over time, your airways swell up and let less air into your lungs.
*Smoking causes disease and is a slow way to die. The strain put on your body by smoking often causes years of suffering.
Emphysema is an illness that slowly rots your lungs. People with emphysema often get bronchitis again and again, and suffer
lung and heart failure.
*Lung cancer from smoking is caused by the tar in tobacco smoke. Men who smoke are ten times more likely to die from
lung cancer than non-smokers.
*Heart disease and strokes are also more common among smokers than non-smokers.
*Smoking causes fat deposits to narrow and block blood vessels which leads to heart attack.
*Smoking causes around one in five deaths from heart disease.
*In younger people, three out of four deaths from heart disease are due to smoking.

Happy V-day to all my bloggy friends! I hope you find lots of love and snuggles.
I thought I would share my gift to my hubby for this year with you. Let's backtrack for a sec.....last summer, at the beginning of school, there were wonderful Post-It Note coupons out which made for hundreds of packs of free Post-Its. Among those wonderful freebies, I got packs of heart shaped ones. For my darling love of my life, I used an entire pack, yep 150 of them, and on each one I wrote a reason I loved him. Some silly, some serious. Well, make that 149...I saved one for the intro. I took the 149 reasons, and made a huge heart shape on our bedroom wall, where he will see it when he wakes up each morning, as long as he decides to leave it up. I took the 1 left over, and wrote "I love you because" and then I showed him into our room. He LOVED it! A huge hit. And, it helped me as well, because you have to search deep into your heart to find that many reasons to write down. It made me realize all the wonderful reasons I appreciate him.
Oh, and yes, I bought him chocolates, with ECBs of course!

May working on We Will Rock You movie
BRIAN MAY has confirmed he's planning to bring successful QUEEN musical WE WILL ROCK YOU to the big screen in a new movie.
The stage show, based around the rock group's music and named after their hit single of the same name, was written by comic/author Ben Elton in conjunction with Queen stars May and Roger Taylor.
The musical launched in London in 2002 and has since been rolled out across the world, with productions in Las Vegas, Australia, Russia, Spain and Japan.
May has now revealed he's working with Elton to transform the show into a film - and they already have a script in place.
In a post on Queen's official website, he writes, "We are... laying the foundations for WWRY (We Will Rock You) The Movie, and again, we already have a great script for it from Ben.?
