Cancer is often described as a journey that starts at diagnosis. During treatment, some people feel that their life is on hold. After treatment ends, it may be hard to know how to resume normal activities. This can be described as being in limbo.
Survivors may expect life to return to what it was like before the cancer diagnosis. For many people, though, it isn't that simple. The reality is often more emotionally and physically complex. Some cancer survivors find they can't or don't want to go back to how life was before their treatment.
Finding a 'new normal'
Many survivors say that cancer changes them. After treatment, they may feel different, even though they look the same. With time, survivors often find a new way of living. Many call this a "˜new normal'. It may take months or years to find a "˜new normal'.
Misconceptions about treatment ending
- I should be celebrating.
- I should feel well.
- I should be the person I was before cancer.
- I should not need support.
- I should feel grateful.
Common concerns
I was looking forward to the treatment ending, so why do I have mixed feelings now?
It's common for people to feel both excited and anxious when treatment ends. Many say they need time to stop and reflect on what has happened before they can think about the future. This process may mean they re-evaluate and change their values, goals, priorities and outlook on life.
- Many survivors feel a sense of loss for "the person I once was", "the way things used to be", and "the things I used to do".
- Some feel they should be happy and full of wisdom because they survived, but instead feel guilty that this isn't the case.
- Some people feel as though they have fought a battle and need time to rest. Others want to return immediately to their previous life.
How you feel and cope will depend on the type of cancer and treatment you had, and what you're like as a person.
Any long-term side effects from your treatment will also play a big part. Many cancer survivors have ongoing health concerns because of the cancer or due to treatment. These may include fatigue, difficulty sleeping, pain and depression. The after-effects of treatment can make everyday life difficult.
My family and friends think my cancer experience is over. Why do I feel like it isn't?
Your family and friends care for you and it's natural for them to want the distress of cancer to be behind you. They may not fully understand what you've been through, and might not realise that the cancer experience doesn't necessarily stop when treatment ends.
It may be helpful to allow yourself time to adjust to these changes, and to explain to your friends and family that you need their support.
Can cancer be a positive experience?
- Many people find there are positive aspects to having cancer. Some even refer to the disease as a life-changing experience.
- Cancer may cause you to re-examine your life choices, and may motivate you to travel, take up new activities or make lifestyle changes (e.g. starting exercise or quitting smoking). This shift is often gradual, as even positive change can take getting used to.
- After treatment, some people want to help improve the cancer experience for others through advocacy or volunteer work.
What if I don't want to make changes after cancer?
Some people are happy with the way things were before the cancer diagnosis. This is okay; you don't have to feel pressured to make life changes if you don't want to.
- Assess your life. You may want to ask yourself: Am I doing what fulfils me? Am I doing what I've always wanted to do? What is important to me?
- Focus on each day and expect both good and bad days.
- Do things at your own pace. Avoid pressure to make decisions or start new activities straight away. Plan rest time between activities.
- If you feel apprehensive about going out for the first time, ask someone you love and trust to come along.
- Be prepared for mixed reactions from family and friends. If people don't know how to react, try not to get upset. Some people avoid contact because cancer brings up difficult emotions. They are dealing with it in their own way.
- Share your feelings and worries with family and friends.
- Talk to your doctor if you are concerned about sadness or low moods.
- Practise some form of relaxation, such as meditation, visualisation, yoga or deep breathing.
- Keep a journal. Many people find it helps to write down how they're feeling.
- Join a support group. Speaking with other cancer survivors may help you cope and make you feel more optimistic about the future.
- Attend a survivorship program, if there is one in your area.
- Read other survivors' stories. Learning how other people have made meaning of a cancer diagnosis may help.
- Take part in a survivors' event, such as Relay for Life.

Mobile Wedding Hair Stylist in Centurion before I go into the points to help you choose your hairdresser, I should first outline the definition of what is a mobile hairdresser? A Salon Services is a hairdresser who usually works for his or herself visiting clients at their homes or place of work, or any other agreed venue and does not operate from a fixed hair salon or beauty shop.
Portable Hair Salon Stations For Mobile Hairdressers
1.When to consider using a mobile hairdresser. The services of a mobile hairstylist may often be required to be used at a home for a wedding when it may often be inconvenient for the bride to travel to a hair or beauty salon to have her hair and her make-up done, requiring her then to travel back to her home to put on her wedding gown. Instead, the hairdresser will travel to the bride's home in order to style the bride's hair for her special day. A Mobile Hairdresser hairstylist is often in demand for Care homes, hospitals, prisons, the armed forces, and in many other situations where individual attention is required.

4. Always Use a qualified hairdresser. As with Salon hairdressers, your mobile hairdresser should hold formal hairdressing qualifications. The UK national Vocational Qualification in Hairdressing (NVQ) is the only recognized qualification system, and more than 60% of mobile hairstylists are now trained to this standard. They should also hold professional indemnity insurance.
Your mobile hairdresser should be happy and prepared to recommend the perfect hairdos and often make-up to accentuate and compliment the individual looks of the customer, and offer suggestions on what hairstyle or make up should best suit the client.
Mobile Wedding Hair Stylist in Centurion ?
Portable hair salon stations are designed for the mobile hairdresser in mind. The mobile hairdresser is someone who is on the move, so he or she is need of special equipment that's lightweight and easy to carry. This is the case with portable hair salon stations.
The goal of a company that manufacturers portable hair salon stations is to to provide a new portable hair salon station which is susceptible of a low cost of manufacture with regard to both materials and labor, and which accordingly is then susceptible of low prices of sale to the consuming public, thereby making such portable hair salon station economically available to the buying public.
Portable hair salon stations can range from traditional and elegant shampoo bowls at hair styling stations, to revolutionary and ergonomically correct back wash units. Some portable hair salon stations are designed to impress clients with a trendy decor, as well as provide the amenities that top stylist demand, are available many styles and price points.
400-18 QSEp PORTABLE is a portable hair salon station with four casters. It features two full-extension drawers, breadboard pull-out, fully-equipped tip-out tool panel w/ holders for blow dryer, two standard curling irons, one large curling iron, clipper pocket, and six-outlet power strip.
Portable Hair Salon Stations For Mobile Hairdressers
A Mobile Hairdresser is a hairdressing professional who works outside the premises of a beauty shop or hair salon. There are important instances when a hair service is required inside the comforts of a home or a house like a wedding since it would be inconvenient for a bride to travel to a beauty salon to get her hair fixed and her make-up done then travel back to her home to wear her wedding gown. For reasons such as this, it is the hair dresser who travels to the home in order to render his or her professional service to clients and customers, thus Mobile Hairdresser. Aside from homes, mobile hairdressing services may be required in armed forces, hospitals, prisons and other public services.
All hairdressers, Mobile and Salon Hairdressers alike, are required to have the proper personal qualities and skills in order to succeed. Whatever style a hairdresser can do inside a hair salon, mobile hairdressers should also be able to do in whatever places. The ability to be able to use the hands effectively and safely to sculpture the hair and afford the perfect looks for a certain customer is necessary along with the enthusiasm to learn new things. A mobile hairdresser needs to be extra careful, adept and equipped with all the necessities needed such as tools and materials, in providing their services outside a salon. When servicing in a house or anywhere he may be called to render his expertise, he or she must bring along not only the pair of scissors and comb to cut hair but all necessary tools for whatever hairstyling processes like curling/flat iron, blow dryers, wash basins, etc. These materials and tools must also be clean and sanitized at all times.
Any hairdresser may choose to provide mobile hairdressing services and wherever he or she goes, the mobile hairdresser is expected to fulfill a hairdresser's duty. Most clients ask suggestions from a hairdresser on what hairstyle or make up will best suit them. So a mobile hairdresser should also be ready and prepared to recommend the perfect hairdos and make-up to accentuate and compliment the natural beauty and looks of the customers.

CHICAGO, Dec. 21 (UPI) -- Corey Crawford allowed only a second-period goal and recorded his second December victory Wednesday in the Chicago Blackhawks 5-1 win over Montreal.
The Blackhawks won for the sixth time in seven games and boosted their point total to 48, tops in the NHL. Montreal has lost four in a row.
Crawford had last won Dec. 2 in a 5-4 victory over New York Islanders and had not appeared in a game since he gave up three goals on 16 shots against Phoenix Dec. 5.
Ray Emery had started every Chicago game since then, but he was given the night off after suffering a 3-2 loss to Pittsburgh Tuesday.
Crawford made 20 saves and gave up the first goal of the game, but the Blackhawks then overwhelmed Peter Budaj to turn the contest into a route.
Andrew Brunette and Patrick Sharp scored 21 seconds apart in the second period to put Chicago in front and Viktor Stalberg boosted the lead midway through the third period.
Jonathan Toews and Bryan Bickell tacked on goals in the final two minutes, the tally by Toews going into an empty net.
Budaj stopped 23 shots.

When you make your first purchase on a Legacy Store, you're automatically invited to enroll in the Legacy Point Program. Or ENROLL NOW. On subsequent purchases of designated items, you earn points which may be redeemed for your choice of qualified scale models or merchandise. You are awarded one point for every dollar spent.
Next to each item which qualifies for Point redemption, you will see the number of required Legacy Points. That tells you how many points you need to redeem to get that item for free. Purchase of some items will not award points, nor can be redeemed using points. This is true of all Sale items. We do our best to designate which items are not included in the Legacy Points program.
Once enrolled, you're given a confidential password. With this password, you can check your ACCOUNT STATUS to see how many points you've accumulated. You may change this password to something more personally relevant to you, at any time.
FAST CHECKOUT! Your Legacy Points password is good for even more. Type in your email address and password anytime you checkout at a Legacy Store AND you can skip entering a lot of information. AUTOFILL speeds your checkout.
- For redeemed items, shipping and handling is charged.
- Number of Legacy Points required to redeem merchandise will fluctuate with the purchase price of each item. To redeem an item qualifying for free purchase, you must have the total number of points required by that item.
- Points are awarded only after a purchase. Therefore Legacy Points earned during current purchase may not be used for redemption on current purchase.
- Legacy Points may not be sold or transferred to any other individual or entity.
- We may change the terms of this offering at any time, including termination of the program. Notification of this change will be made on the Legacy Motors website. You should not rely on any financial value to your point accumulation at any time.

You've heard the stories of the tight labor market, and read about some of the unusual gimmicks (and even cash bounties) companies have rolled out to attract top engineers and developers. Heck, it's so tough to find good engineers these days that President Barack Obama even cited the labor crunch in science and technology during his State of the Union Address last week.
With that in mind, I cruised over to Seattle's Get a Real Job Fair Monday night for a dose of reality on what it's really like on the front lines of the talent wars. With glasses of wine clanking (the event was held at Wine World), about a dozen startup companies pitched their wares to a room full of geeks.
Some of the entrepreneurs touted the ability to work on cutting-edge technical problems, while others talked about culture and fun work environments. Many noted the rewards of working at a startup, including Redfin CEO Glenn Kelman whose opening talk very much hit on that theme. (We'll have more on his remarks in a follow-up post).
I spent a good portion of the evening interviewing many of the presenters, asking them the same two questions: "What's the biggest challenge you face right now in hiring?" and "What's the craziest thing you've done to recruit technical talent?"
No one really had any bizarre, over-the-top recruiting stories to share, so here are the answers to my first question on the challenges they face in recruiting:
"We are an infrastructure company, and we are working on storage and distributed algorithms. Finding folks that can get excited about this problem outside of the Amazons and the Microsofts and the others. It is recruiting out of a very small talent pool. That's the biggest challenge. You have to find the right profile. You have to find someone who is excited about revolutionizing online storage … but also at the same time someone who is willing to join a startup and have the entrepreneurial spirit to take a bet on the company. That combination is hard to find." —Bassam Tabarra, co-founder and CTO at Symform.
"The most difficult thing is obviously just finding qualified candidates. We have five open positions right now that we are just looking to hire immediately, and we can't hire them quick enough. That's the biggest challenge…. Good talent is in high demand." —Damon Cortesi, co-founder and CTO at Simply Measured.
"Our greatest challenge is actually for a position we are not advertising tonight, which is a CEO position. It is difficult to hire your own boss and we are taking it really slow, and we really need to make sure it is a good fit. That is quite a challenge…. Developers are hard (to find), but we are in a good community for them, so we just need to keep talking to people."" —Kate Leroux, operations manager at Urbanspoon.
"It is just that we have a very high bar for what we are hiring for. We also have some real specific skill sets, especially in analytics and big data and understanding the scale of what real-time bidding is." —David Snelling, vice president of technology at AdReady.
"It is a really tough market out there, and there are a ton of companies that are looking for people. Everything from startups to big companies, everyone wants to find engineers, and wants to find developers. So, it is a challenge for us, as it is for everyone. It takes a certain amount of craziness to come work for a startup, right? You can go to Microsoft, you can go to Google. But it is a very different experience coming to a place that is as small as EnergySavvy, so the people who are interested in that are going to be interested in startups that are similar-sized." —Leo Shklovskii, co-founder and CTO of EnergySavvy.
"The challenge for talent really revolves around all of the gimmicks that everyone else is playing, so we are trying to be this down-to-Earth, fun place to work. We are really about family. We want to find people that fit the culture, who are willing to have fun and willing to work hard and are smart and interested in what we are doing. I think a lot of people get swayed away by gimmicks and options, and thinking: 'Oh, it is going to be great to work here' and not understanding the full scope of the environment they are looking at. We are hiring in job categories that are coveted, regardless of where you are in the U.S., let alone Seattle. And there's not a lot of people there." —Jesse Proudman, founder of Blue Box Group.
"The biggest challenge for us is finding … senior developers who are willing to make the leap and contribute to a startup. Finding the person who is willing to take that risk is hard…. The Googles and Zyngas and Facebooks of the world are doing a good job of making compelling pitches to senior developers. You can offer compensation equivalent, but you can't really offer the benefits and the unknown potential that comes with that. " —Dave Naffziger, founder and CEO of BrandVerity.
"The hardest thing is finding people who are a home run, who are really, really smart, really great communicators and people who are a good culture fit and have the right values. Those are the three things I always look for. And, it is so often that we get one or two of the three, and it is really hard to get three of the three. And we just aren't willing to compromise on that."–Sasha Aickin, CTO of Redfin.

Rewind to last summer's Great Escape festival in Brighton and only one name seemed to be etched on the memory of those fortunate enough to have spent Friday lunchtime in Audio's tiny upstairs bar; The Jezabels. Prior to their showstopping performance, little was known about the Sydney-based four-piece in this part of the world, but afterwards, everyone present seemed intent on finding out more.
It's just as well then that almost a year later, their debut long player Prisoner has finally dropped in the UK. Initially released back home in September of last year, The Jezabels recently acquired distribution and licensing deal with PiAS ensuring their wares get an opportunity to be heard elsewhere. Not that the band are novices as such, having initially formed five years ago and already amassed a wealth of critical acclaim in their homeland thanks to a trio of self-released EPs and a string of mesmerising live performances.
As captivating as the band are on stage, and in particular vocalist Hayley Jane, whose presence remains an irrepressible focal point, translating such epic performances into the relatively isolated confines of a recording studio was never going to be a walk in the park. However, to their credit, producer Lachlan Mitchell and engineer Peter Katis (Turn On The Bright Lights, Boxer and The Winter Of Mixed Drinks to name but three records to which he's previously contributed) have managed to bring out the best of The Jezabels' epic qualities, for the most part at any rate.
Indeed the biggest criticism of Prisoner is that perhaps it could have done with editing down a tad. Comprising 13 pieces and clocking in at just under an hour in total, there's an apprehensive feeling that maybe less would have served as more by way of an introduction. While both the first and final thirds highlight The Jezabels as a potentially stadium threatening force, the middle tends to sag a little by way of comparison.
Splitting hairs aside, Prisoner contains more than enough moments to justify its existence. From the opening bars of Heather Shannon's church organ that introduce the title track, to the shimmering, six minutes long epic 'Catch Me' that closes the record in full-on, U2-style bombast, The Jezabels ooze an anthemic quality rarely seen in today's unambitious, scene-chasing combos.
With a vocal style that sits quite comfortably between Tango In The Night-era Stevie Nicks and Liz Fraser's ornate coo with a dash of Kate Bush accentuation thrown in, Hayley Jane's voice undoubtedly elevates The Jezabels and Prisoner above 'ordinary' status. On numbers like 'Long Highway' and forthcoming 45 'Rosebud', lavish production akin to what used to be a common theme in most Eighties alternative pop provides an ideal platform for the diminutive front woman to deliver her lines. On 'Endless Summer' and the quite breathless sounding 'Nobody Nowhere', she manages to out-Florence Ms. Welch, teaching the flame-haired one an unduly lesson in how dramatically orchestrated pop should be conveyed. Brooding instrumental 'Austerlitz' shows another side to the band, not least by way of its cinematic aura, like David Lynch conducting Fleetwood Mac underwater. Elsewhere, 'Peace Of Mind' rivals Lana Del Rey in the competition for most haunting piano ballad of 2012 while 'Deep Wide Ocean' takes spine chilling to another, goosebumping level.
Although not quite the timeless classic its creators had hoped for, Prisoner is a solid debut that bears all the hallmarks of a bright future for The Jezabels.

If you are here, its because you are concerned about the ingredients you are putting into your body – and are very aware of what the wrong ingredients can do.
Did you know that skincare and cosmetics that are free of gluten, parabens, SLS and other toxic ingredients are as important to a healthy lifestyle as the food you eat? Here's why:
- Your body is your largest organ – It absorbs 60% of what you put on your skin
- Over 20 main stream lipstick brands tested by the FDA contained lead - more than 1/3rd exceeded the lead limit for candy.
- Its claimed the average woman consumes between 4-9 pounds of lipstick over her lifetime
Ingredients to avoid in Skincare and Cosmetics
There are quite a number of ingredients that contain gluten. Obviously, anything derived from Wheat (Triticum Vulgare) - hydrolyzed wheat protein, wheat germ extract, etc. - but Barley (Hordeum Vulgare) and Rye (Secale Cereale) derived ingredients also contain gluten. Oat (Avena Sativa) may be cross-contaminated.
We also recommend that parabens, SLS, petrochemicals, synthetic fragrances, dyes, preservatives, and a number of other common but harmful skincare ingredients (the "Dirty Dozen" ingredients) be avoided. None of the products sold at TrueNatural.com include these ingredients. By avoiding them, customers find that, in addition to being safer, the products are gentler on the skin and more suitable for those with skin sensitivities.
We carry only premium NATURAL skincare and AWARD-WINNING cosmetic brands from Germany and the US. All Lavera & Benecos Makeup is gluten-free. All True Natural Sunscreens, Self Tanners and Anti-Aging products are gluten-free.

Perfect Pasta
Boiling noodles is definitely easy, but it's not foolproof. Below, ways to ensure great results.
Use a big pot. Crowding pasta in a small pot can make it stick together, which keeps it from cooking evenly.
Choose your shape. Angel hair or spaghetti is best for thin sauces, such as a simple mixture of olive oil and garlic. Thicker pastas—fettucini or pappardelle—work well with heavier sauces, such as Alfredo. Short or twisted pastas like penne or gemelli are ideal for chunky sauces with large pieces of vegetables.
Salt the water. For best flavor, add a generous amount (2 tablespoons kosher salt to 4 to 6 quarts of water).
Hold the oil. Some cooks add it to the water so pasta won't stick together, but that means your sauce won't stick to the pasta, either.
Add pasta all at once. Do it quickly, and keep the heat high enough that the water rapidly returns to a boil. Reduce heat slightly if the water starts to foam at the top or begins to boil over.
Skip the lid. Pasta is more likely to boil over when it is covered.
Stir. Give the pasta a good stir immediately after putting in the boiling water, and stir again a few times while cooking to keep the noodles from sticking together.
Set your timer. Cook pasta to al dente (meaning "to the tooth" in Italian), which describes pasta that still has a little resistance when eaten. If the pasta will be baked after it's cooked, as in saucy casseroles, boil 2 to 4 minutes less than package directions suggest so it doesn't become mushy.
Drain, don't rinse. Running hot pasta under water will remove starches that help the sauce stick to the noodles. Exceptions: lasagna noodles, which can be hard to separate if not rinsed in cool water, and pasta being used in cold salads.
Save some pasta water. If your garlic or tomato sauces need thickening, add a little of the salted water the pasta was cooked in. It will thin the sauce initially, but starch in the water will help bind it as it cooks.

Understanding Vintage
Please note that when purchasing vintage items I will always do my best to describe all flaws and imperfections. These items have often seen lifetimes before I find them and it is impossible to know if their previous owners were pet owners, or smoked etc. I try my best to note these things when I pick up on them and I clean all items appropriately to preserve them, but removing musty or smokey scents from things like old books may be impossible.

Precision Jewelry Tools
Bluecreeper is one of the most important tools you will have on the jewelry repair bench.
Precise handling of some of the smallest moving parts requires very precise movement in
the tools used for jewelry and watch repair. Bluecreeper is a precision penetrating
lubricant that keeps all of your small precision tools working perfectly without the gunky
buildup that comes from using thicker consistency oils.
Jewelry and Watches
As a penetrating fluid, Bluecreeper can free up stuck parts such as delicate clasps,
hinges, locks, and watch parts and movements keeping them moving freely. It is always
better to release frozen delicate jewelry hardware with the least amount of force as
possible. Bluecreeper makes that possible with its ability to "creep" its way
into the most finite spaces and release the hard moving, stuck, or frozen hardware. With
the precision applicator tip it makes it easy to get into the most difficult spots without
having to get lubricant on other delicate parts. You will quickly realize that this is a
must have on your repair bench.

Some 25,000 players who had bought a community-created weapon within Dota 2 discovered a new item in their inventories after Valve learned it had been copied directly from the MMO Aion.
Valve brought this up on its Steam Workshop blog, probably because 25,000 people noticed they no longer had "Timebreaker," a popular user-created mace that made it into the game earlier this summer. The item is a straight copy of "Marchutan's Blessed Mace" from Aion.
It sounds also like Valve wanted to make an example out of this, as "it took a lot of time for us to investigate and remedy the situation," wrote Dota designer Alden Kroll. While about 1,400 community-created items have been removed from Dota 2, this situation was different because it involved one that had actually gone on sale. "It becomes more complicated if a Workshop item becomes offered for sale on Steam or in a game, and the item later turns out to infringe on someone else's work," Kroll wrote.
The user who made the mace has been banned from the game and is going "to lose out on any proceeds from the sale of the item," said Kroll, who added that 24,603 users spent money on keys to open a chest and receive the mace. He repeated an appeal for the community to flag plagiarized contributions, and for contributors to create only original work and swear to that fact.

Yule The Stillness Goddess Art Gift Card by Julie Collet
7″ x 5″ size art gift card of Julie Collet's beautiful interpretation of Yule. The ancient Lady of the cold winds & the silent landscape
Perfect for your Winter Solstice altar, or as gift for a friend.
Yule The Stillness Goddess Art Gift Card by Julie Collet
Julie Collet, originally from Britanny, France, has spent time living in Bolivia caring for rescued pumas, where she first felt what "Wild" meant! She discovered her artistic talents later when she decided to leave the jungle to travel to Glastonbury last October and commit to start training as a Priestess of the Goddess, something she felt was very important that she had to do.
She painted her amazing interpretation of Dahud, and has painted her way through the festivals of the wheel of the year through the symbolism of a silhouette, embodying the Goddess and the shadow of every woman – naked, raw… forever Wild.
"The "shadow woman" has become a kind of signature now. She is an image that speaks to me for many reasons. First because as the Goddess, She has no real identity. As priestess, or woman, she is all of us. She has no face, her skin and hair have no colour. She is just "woman" and carries the feminine essence. Finally, I work a lot with the shadow side of things. I believe our gifts always start by being hidden in our shadow, and only if we are brave enough to face the "Dark Goddess", She will reveal the amazing treasures she was hiding. To me, this shadow woman represents the primal essence and strength of woman and Goddess."
The titles of the paintings from this Wheel of the Year series have been taken from Kathy Jones's book "Priestess of Avalon, Priestess of the Goddess"

Slow-Cooked Beef Barbecue
We like to keep our freezer stocked with plenty of beef roasts. When we're not in the mood for pot roast, I fix these satisfying sandwiches instead. The meat cooks in a tasty sauce while I'm work. The meat cooks in a tasty sauce while I'm at work. Then I just slice i thinly and serve it on rolls.
Total TimePrep: 5 min. Cook: 6-1/2 hours
Makes12 servings
- 1 boneless beef chuck roast (3 pounds)
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 1/2 cup apricot preserves
- 1/3 cup chopped green or sweet red pepper
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 12 sandwich rolls, split
- Cut the roast into quarters; place in a greased 5-qt. slow cooker. In a large bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, preserves, green pepper, onion, mustard and brown sugar; pour over roast. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until meat is tender.
- Remove roast and thinly slice; return meat to slow cooker and stir gently. Cover and cook 20-30 minutes longer. Skim fat from sauce. Serve beef and sauce on rolls.

We really enjoyed this BBQ. Make sure you return it to the slow cooker after slicing (or shedding as the case may be) so the juicies are incorporated throughout; otherwise, it is a little dry.

However, the two major negative limitations of this form of restructuring if applied to Greek sovereign debt restructuring are –
- It solves only the liquidity side of the problem which means that the refinancing of the huge debt (expected to reach 133% of GDP by the end of 2010) will be spread over a longer time period while the debt itself will continue to remain at such high levels. The sustainability of such high debt level, which is growing continuously owing to the snowball effect and the primary deficit, is and will continue to be highly questionable. Greek public finances are burdened by a very large interest expense which is approaching 7% of GDP. The government's revenues are sagging and the drastic austerity measures need to first bridge the huge primary deficit (which was 8.6% of GDP in 2009), before generating funds to cover the interest expenditure and reduce debt.
Thus, even though the amount of funds required each year to refinance the maturing debt will be reduced by extending maturities, the solvency and sustainability issues surrounding Greece's public finances, which were the primary reasons for it's being ostracized from the market in the first place, will remain unanswered.
- It will lead to decline in present value of cash flows for the creditors since the average coupon rate is lower than the cost of capital (reflected by the yields on the Greek bonds). The average coupon rate for bonds maturing between 2010 and 2020 is about 4.4% while the average benchmark yield for bonds with maturities from 1-10 years is nearly 7.5%. Also, as the maturity of the debt is extended, the risk increases and so does the cost of capital.
In order to assess the effectiveness of this form of restructuring for Greek sovereign debt, we have built three scenarios in which the maturities of the Greek debt is extended. These scenarios weren't designed to be exact predictions of the future but to represent what may happen under a variety of highly likely scenarios (a pessimistic, base and optimistic case, so to say):
- Restructuring 1 – Under this scenario, we assumed that the creditors with debt maturing between 2010 and 2020 will exchange their existing debt securities with new debt securities having same coupon rate but double the maturity.
- Restructuring 2 – Under this scenario, we assumed that the creditors with debt maturing between 2010 and 2020 will exchange their existing debt securities with new debt securities having half the coupon rate but double the maturity.
- Restructuring 3 – Under this scenario, the debt maturing between 2010 and 2020 will be rolled up into one bundle and exchanged against a single, self-amortizing 20-year bond with coupon equal to average coupon rate of the converted bonds.
In all the three scenarios, we computed the total funding requirements and compared the same with funding requirements prior to restructuring. It is observed that restructuring will help in easing the immediate pressure of procuring funds to meet the huge funding requirements lined up in the next 5 years. However, it will also lead to substantial loss to creditors in the form of erosion of present value of cash flows. (Discount rate was the benchmark yields of Greek government bonds for similar maturity period).
Professional and Institutional level subscribers (click here to upgrade) may access the live spreadsheet behind the document by clicking here (scroll down after for full summary, spreadsheet and charts).
We will be running similar restructuring analysis for all of the PIIGS member that we have researched in the Pan-European Sovereign Debt Crisis series.

I would love a chance to get your book. I really want to try designing my own prints, but I'm a bit clueless on how and where to start. Do I need a fancy program? How do you do repeats of patterns, but make it look seemeless? etc etc. Plus I think it would be fun to play around with hand printing with stamps and such, but again I'm clueless on the how to details.

Hi Laurie. Thank you for the giveaway. I really have been looking forward to the release of your book. You and other designers in blogland have really peaked my interest in designing fabrics.

I'd love a copy of your book! I have it on my wish list on Amazon right now. I've never done any fabric design before so I would love to just learn how it's done and maybe someday down the road give it a try.

The reason that I would love to win a signed copy of your book (because like your work) is because I am color challenged and need to get a better feel for mixing colors together. Plus, I like to draw designs (e.g. quilting motifs) and want to learn how to make repeats. And, I'm into mathematics (my degree and prior occupation) and want to learn how to handle symmetry for a quilt that's been floating in my head for years that I cannot translate into a sketch! OK, I'm good at math, poor at writing. Hope to win - I visited every blog hop location to learn more.

I love to dye fabric and sew and my daughter is into all things computer. Just for fun, she makes wallpapers for her desktop and I keep saying that she could make fabric if we could find out how to get there from here. I know your book would lead us in the right direction. Meanwhile, I've been dropping hints right and left about llama fabrics and how they would be so much nicer than waxy chocolate bunnies in my Easter basket. Both of us love your work!

you're giving away three? so generous! thanks so much for the chance to win!
i've always been a sewer, but it's only in recent years that i've been so obsessed with quilting. before quilting i did a lot more "art" - that is, printing, silkscreening, mixed media, etc. i keep thinking that designing my own fabric would be a great way to bring the art side back into my life, and i think the book would be a great motivation. i've been eyeing it since it was first announced!
in terms of something specific to learn, i already know that i need to learn more about repeats, positioning, etc. it seems mathy to me, and therefore scary to my right-brained self!

About half way through art school I took a class in textile surface design and LOVED it. Sadly, after looking into switching majors I found out it would have added another 2 years on to what was already becoming a 5 year degree. So textiles went on the back burner. Now that I've finished school I'm really interested in trying some fabric design on my own! I always enjoy your designs, and I'm excited to see some of your process, methods and tips.

Joan Collins Gossip
Joan Collins gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Dear Gossips,
Rihanna, the High Priestess of the Met Gala, did not show up at the Met Gala. I'm not mad about this decision. She knows now what she means to the Met Gala. She knows how people have reacted to her at the Met Gala. She understands the expectations she has created for herself. Read Full Intro
This should have been your date, Bradley Cooper
Wenn, INFphoto.com/ Splash News, David M. Benett/ Getty Images
Irina Shayk is back in London after hanging out in Cannes last week. Last night she attended the gala for Bradley Cooper's Elephant Man. I've heard she's actually been there three nights in a row to watch him perform. For actors and their partners, is that like going to watch your partner's baseball/hockey/basketball/football games? I used to go watch Jacek's beer league matches. Full Story
The Royals 1.9: Ophelia is completely useless
The Royals Season 1, Episode 9 recap Status Check: Ted is still not fired. How?! How is Ted not fired?! At one point Cyrus, now the "acting King of England" (THAT IS STILL NOT A REAL THING!), actually says, "I can't wait to fire you," to Ted, and I legit screamed at my television. Full Story
The Royals 1.7: Dame Joan Collins shows up AT LAST

The Royals Season 1, Episode 7 recap I don't understand how titles work on this show at all. Dame Joan Collins finally appears as Queen Helena's mom, and her title is "Grand Duchess of Oxford", except that doesn't make any sense. A Grand Duchess is the head of a sovereign state, or a Russian princess. Full Story
Hamm & Spittle
Please. If we're talking man to man, there's no question. Spittle, step off for Jon Hamm. Especially being here in LA, it's a f-cking mystery how they managed to turn that skeeze into a star. A mystery. Even among industry players. Somehow his management team pulled off the ultimate play. Full Story
This is the face
There really is no point to this post because we don't need one. It's Joan f-cking Collins. Alexis Morrell Carrington Colby Dexter Rowan. There's nothing to bitch about here. And there's only one bitch in the room when she's in the room. Joan was in London somewhere blessing a puppy and telling you all to behave. Full Story

IEMA announces availability of $25 million in grants to enhance
security at schools, campuses
K-12 schools, community colleges and universities can apply for
Send a link to a friend
[February 04, 2014]
SPRINGFIELD — Public elementary
and secondary school districts, community colleges, and state
universities can begin applying for grants to enhance security for
their students and staff under a program announced last week by the
Illinois Emergency Management Agency. Grants totaling $25 million
will be awarded under the program, the Illinois School Security
Grant, administered by IEMA.
IEMA emailed information
about the competitive grant program to the chief official for each
eligible public K-12 school district, inter-district special
education cooperative, community college and university system in
Illinois. The emails contained secure access information so school
officials can develop and submit their grant application. Only one
application from the eligible entity will be accepted.
Based on a review of national crisis situations and consultation
with key security experts, the state prioritized protective measures
to protect students and staff, such as installing reinforced doors,
shatter-resistant glass and physical locks for the primary public
entrance at schools. Public elementary and secondary schools that
have achieved this baseline capability will be able to implement
other security measures.
Public community colleges and universities may request funding to
install physical security enhancement equipment, inspection and
screening systems, information technology, and interoperable
communication equipment for academic classroom buildings.
[to top of second column]
Grant applications are due no later than March 14.
Applications will be evaluated on a number of criteria, including
known hazards, threats and risks; ability of the project to enhance
student safety; existence of a current emergency operations plan at
the facility where the project is planned; ability to complete the
project within the grant period; and more.
Grant awards are expected to be announced this spring.
More information about the grant program is available at

ISBE rates school districts on their fund balance and expenditure-to-revenue ratios, days of cash on hand, and percentage of remaining short- and long-term borrowing ability.
Of Illinois' 857 school districts, 568, or 66 percent, earned the state's "Financial Recognition" designation, suggesting they are fiscally sound.
The other 34 percent statewide, or 289 districts, received lower marks from ISBE, suggesting they need work:
• 196 (23 percent) are under "Financial Review"
• 61 (7 percent) were given an "Early Warning"
• 32 (4 percent) are under "Financial Watch," including Chicago Public Schools and seven others in the Metro-East.
In Dupage County, 38 of the county's 42 school districts (90.48 percent) earned the "Financial Recognition" designation.
CHSD 99 was the only district placed under "Early Warning."
Three districts -- Bensenville SD 2, Cass SD 63 and Hinsdale Twp HSD 86 -- were placed under "Financial Review."
ISBE reports that districts are increasingly "borrowing to obtain needed cash flow" and "continue to issue long-term debt to sustain day-to-day operations."
Schools are "continuing to break even or are spending more than they are realizing in revenue," the report says.
Illinois public school districts issued $307.2 million in long-term debt in fiscal year 2015 versus $356.5 million in fiscal year 2014. In 2015, 499 -- or 58 percent -- spent more money than they took in, borrowing or using taxpayer-provided reserves to cover the deficit.
ISBE's "School District Financial Profile" was first issued in 2003.

Born in New York City in 1904 to artist parents, Cadmus enrolled in classes at the National Academy of Design at age 15. A precocious student, Cadmus won scholarships and prizes and had completed his coursework by 1926. He then began his career in advertising and studied at the Art Students League where he met the painter Jared French, who became his lover. They traveled through France where Cadmus developed a deep and lasting fascination with the Old Masters. In 1934 Cadmus painted The Fleet's In!--a painting of drunken sailors carousing--while working for the WPA. The painting was removed from an exhibition at the Corcoran Gallery, and the scandal helped launch his career.Related worksFidelmaBrowse All

Benefits-of-CE-Marking Consultants in UttarakhandS
The great benefit for manufacturers is that there is now only one set of requirements and procedures to comply with in designing and manufacturing a product for the entire EEA in Uttarakhand.

Emerald ash borer found in Walworth County
County could be placed in quarantine
Wisconsin officials say emerald ash borer has been discovered in two locations in Walworth County, including downtown Lake Geneva.
That brings to 10 the number of Wisconsin counties where the invasive, destructive pest has been confirmed.
The Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection says evidence of the pest has been discovered in a private woodlot along the Wisconsin-Illinois border. Last Thursday, an ash tree about a half-mile south of the Illinois line showed signs of the tree-killing disease.
On Monday, a city forester in Lake Geneva, working with the DNR, submitted a photo of an ash tree displaying signs of infestation. State officials confirmed the Lake Geneva ash also had the disease.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports Walworth County will soon be placed in quarantine.

Voice (grammar)
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Voice in grammar is about the way subject and object work in a sentence.
- Active voice: Jane chose the furniture.
- Passive voice: The furniture was chosen by Jane.
The distinction only applies where the verb is transitive, since only a transitive verb comes with an object.[1]p1094 For example: We enjoyed the trip is transitive and in active voice. The trip was enjoyed by us is transitive and in passive voice.[2] She hurried home is not transitive and so has no voice. But if she hurried the children home, that's transitive and active voice.[1]
