May I remind everyone traveling for family reunions, going skiing, vacationing, etc. to request MBO's for your trip to the airport, to get through Security easily, for interesting people to talk to on the plane (or for silence if you wish to nap)for your luggage to arrive with you and early, for the reunion with families, for your protection if you have a problem with a person at the reunion, for your safety skiing, swimming in the ocean, scuba diving, choosing great restaurants, and the list goes on and one. If on a cruise request MBO's for your dinner table companions, ports of call, playing bingo or in the casino. Have some great Benevolent Holidays everyone! Tom |

Hmmm, I wonder if we could request an MBO that the forums remain up and active... I request a Most Benevolent Outcome that the Steve Pavlina forums remain up and active, and may the results exceed anything we expect or can anticipate. Thank you. |

I need to specially thank Angelpsychic for this thread and Introducing me to MBOs... Knowing that Angels are with me is like having a blessing as I have always felt lonely uptil now but these days I feel safe as if Angels protect me all the time... I do meditate for them to be with me regularly... And yesterday I did a reading with Angel therapy cards... it was 3 card reading and 1st card I got was Archangel Michael which delivered the message that he is with me all the time and protecting me... I would have not felt better with so less effort if it had not been with the help of angels.... So thank you so much... |

The forums being shut down do seem to be a change very related to the shifting energies we're going through now, the intensity is really building, so everyone in this thread, thanks for contributing, I will miss this forum as much as everybody else. So far I think the two forums I'm going to go to very shortly, but have not joined yet are the PDFU forum, which has many of the people here going over there; PD For You Another forum I might join has a very nice spiritual section, with a sub-forum called "angels and guides", I think it might be a good place to post some MBO's. Spiritual Forums - Spirituality, Metaphysical, Paranormal and Religious Discussion Forums So far these are my two choices, I do not wish to join too many other forums and spread myself out too thin. If you wish to keep up with my post's then I'll probably see you on either one or maybe both. Have a Merry Chirstmas and a wonderful New year! I had so much fun in this thread,..."I ask any and all beings to please bless all the good people who posted in this thread and may they always see their angel friends as lifelong companions...thank you" Last edited by AngelPsychic444; 12-22-2011 at 09:06 PM. | |

In the "Spiritual Forums - Spirituality, Metaphysical, Paranormal and Religious Discussion Forums" link you suggest AngelPsychic444, there is a section dedicated to Angels. I think it would be the perfect forum in order to keep this thread alive and keep on sharing experiences with MBO. Merry Christmas to everyone |

Yes the section is called "Angels & Guides", which I mentioned in my above post, I'm not sure if I can transfer this thread over there, but I can start a new MBO thread and just continue what we started here. I'm sure we'll find many more interested people there, so give me a little time to set this up and then we'll be rolling along again. Just to make sure everyone knows what forum I'm talking about: Spiritual Forums - Spirituality, Metaphysical, Paranormal and Religious Discussion Forums | |

FYI Just a note for anyone who goes over to Spiritual Forums... You might notice many members starting membership in October or November 2010, with nothing between 2007 and then, even though the forum info says it began in 2006. This is because it suffered a major hard drive failure in the October and all was lost from the previous 3 years. They had to restart it using an old back up from 2007. Anyone who had joined in that intervening time had to re-register. So if you're trawling through old threads and notice strange timelines, this is why. Even though it was weird looking at 3 year old threads at the time, it seemed to create a new sense of community as many people had a fresh start and started up new threads. xxxmsp |

The fact is that I was so worried about the forum, I went too fast typing. Maybe we could select the best posts here (that's gonna be tough as they are all interesting), and paste them in the new forum, in order to start with solid foundations ?

| I told Tom so he knows the forums are going to be closed. We are discussing where to go next with the MBO thread, but I have not heard from him today, so I would imagine he's busy with Christmas. Probably next week we will decide where to go. I am on the PD4U, I joined today but have not done any posting about angels, just introducing myself. I will probably get around the other spiritual forum I mentioned up above next week or so.

Since there might not be too much time left to post on this forum, I wanted to say that I have joined the Spiritual Forums, and will begin or continue this MBO thread there, you will find it under "Angels and Guides". Even though I am a member there, they have not approved me yet and I can't post at this time, so if you go to the Angels and Guides forum, you won't see the MBO thread, for the time being. I will get around to starting the new thread sometime this coming week, I hope to see you all there!! Here's the link: Spiritual Forums - Spirituality, Metaphysical, Paranormal and Religious Discussion Forums I also hope everybody had a very Merry Christmas and will have a fantastic New Year!! I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed being here with all of you, this thread has been so earth-moving for so many people, and has changed and delighted so many...I never thought it would build to this point! So thank you everyone for everything you've given me, it's been a great adventure! Tom Moore deserves a special thanks too, he's done such an outstanding job of posting here plus doing so much other service work, which he receives no payment for, so for that he get's a BIG pat on the back... job well done Tom! I would also like to thank all the guardian angels of all the people that participated in this thread, even though we seldom hear your voices, and hardly ever actually see you, we know you're there, and if I can speak for all of us here... we love you as much as you love us!! A fond farewell to all my good friends..... Love, John Last edited by AngelPsychic444; 12-26-2011 at 12:45 AM. |

I would also like to post one last mbo story before this forum closes today. It is a lost and found mbo. I was at my sisters today for christmas and I used my favorite vegetable peeler and when it was time to go home - I looked everywhere for it. It really seemed like it was gone. I decided to try doing an mbo and after I said it. I decided to look in the one place I really did not think it was and guess what? It was there and I was happy! |

Chinese Car Company Looks Ahead
January 7, 2007 by Douglas A. McIntyreChery, one of the largest car companies in China and Chrysler's new partner for building small cars, says that it should be able to sell one million vehicles in 2010. It sold 305,000 in 2006.
The good news for US car companies, especially GM, is that the Chinese auto market is obviously growing as quickly, if not more quickly, than expected. GM sold about 864,000 cars and light trucks in China in 2006. It may not grow as fast as Chery, but it would not seem inconceivable that GM's China sales could hit 2 million by 2010. For a company that will produce a little over 9 million cars in 2007, that is not insignificant.
The other side of the coin is that Chery may be getting closer to having the financial and production capacity to start sending more cars abroad. It is believed to be planning an IPO next year, which may give it the balance sheet to consider expansion.
Of course, all that US car makers need is another competitor in North American.

The four-day school week: why less really is more
A superintendent in Oregon explains the reasons why a shift to a four-day school week works well for students, teachers, and families. Start with better academic performance.
Don Kordosky
Eatonville School District
Crosscut recently reported on the Eatonville School District's consideration of a four-day school week, which is already being used by two rural school districts with fewer than 150 students in Eastern Washington. During this legislative session, Sen. Randi Becker R-Eatonville, proposed a bill that would allow 20 school districts of up to 2,200 students to use the four-day school week. Here, Don Kordosky, superintendent of Oregon's Oakridge School District, shares his personal experience and insights on making the switch.
When considering the switch from a five-day school week to a four-day school week, one need only recall that classic saying: "Less is more."
As superintendent of Oakridge School District in Oregon, I learned this through personal experience when my schools made the switch. Initially, I was against the idea. How could a four-day week possibly be in the best interest of students? But after doing the research and seeing the benefits firsthand, I became a complete supporter.
The positives of the four-day week far outweigh the negatives, and the negatives can all be alleviated through well-thought-out strategies. The parents of our students, the staff, the school board, and the entire community of Oakridge reviewed the four-day week for an entire year prior to implementation. Since implementation I have become a four-day week advocate because of all the positive attributes including: better student academic performance, increased teacher vitality, increased student engagement, decreased student discipline problems, and an improvement to the overall culture of excellence for the district.
Most school districts originally begin a review of the four-day school week as a strategy to address financial shortfalls. (Mine did not.) By trimming one day off the week, a school can save in bus services, cafeteria, and facilities costs. This can be especially crucial during state budget shortfalls, where K-12 funding can be in danger of cuts, and even more so for rural school districts, which must run their schools on a minimal budget. But not all school districts go to a four-day week because of money, and certainly it is not the only way a school can benefit from the change.
The four-day week is not for all districts, and there are negative attributes that need to have alleviation strategies in place prior to implementation. Negative attributes include parent fears of not being able to find child care on Fridays, fatigue for students that have to attend school for longer days, and decreases in compensation for employees who lose hours.
An example of an alleviation strategy for the child care concern is the offering of Red Cross Childcare First Aid certification classes for high school students. These students then became available for parents who could not find relatives or other child care on Fridays. Another strategy is offering extra duty employment for bus drivers, cooks, and custodians, who all lose significant hours. In our district we made it a practice to offer all paid athletic supervision and activity duties to the employees who lost work time prior to other employees. Regardless of the negative consequence associated with the four-day week, there are strategies to alleviate the negative impact on students, families and staff.
Of note, many parents have found that eliminating the large number of half-days for students that plague five-day weeks — such as teacher work days, curriculum days, grading days, inservice days, etc. — has made finding childcare easier. With the four-day week, teachers can do their non-teaching activities on the day off, and therefore schools do not have to send children home at awkward and inconsistent times.
However, what I have found is that most common four-day school week objections are derived more from a fear of change (and a indeed a reasonable concern) rather than empirical study. When scrutinized, these objections are both addressed and debunked by the switch. To demonstrate that point, here are four reasons why the four-day school week is an improvement to the five-day week.
Teacher and student attendance increases. Teachers are the key to student learning, and having the regular classroom teacher in the room instead of a substitute teacher is better for kids. Because teachers are able to schedule meetings, doctor's appointments and other possible conflicts with their teaching schedule on the extra day off, teachers are better able to provide a consistency for students. In Oakridge, the number of available work hours missed by teachers decreased significantly (21.8%) after the move to a four-day school week.
Student attendance typically increases, too. Most districts that implement a four-day week see substantial improvement in attendance at the high school level per available instructional hours (they spend more time learning, but less days at school). Attendance in some schools increased 3% as measured against available instructional hours.
Contrary to fears, instructional time for students can increase from what it was before if it is the wish of the school district. By subtracting non-teaching activities from Fridays (lunch time, passing periods, transportation time, recess) and adding those paid teacher work hours to instructional hours Monday-Thursday, the amount of paid teacher time that is allocated to instruction increases. Each school day is comprised of many activities that have no direct positive correlation to student academic achievement. The time we pay teachers when they are not teaching includes before school starts (usually about 30 minutes), the time that society pays teachers after school (usually 45 minutes), passing periods (typically six passing periods of five minutes each equals 30 minutes). All of this "non-instructional time" on Fridays is eliminated and that time can be changed to instructional time on the other remaining four days. Also, the flexibility of the four-day week allows it to work around national holidays, so even if a Monday needs to be taken off — say, for Labor Day — students can still go to school for four days (Monday-Friday).
The four-day school week offers four days of instruction every week, not the inconsistency of the five-day week which often has only three, three and one-half, or four days of student instruction. This is one of the keys to the four-day week: Instead of sending kids home so that teachers can do non-instructional duties you bring teachers in on Fridays to complete non-instructional tasks!
On the four-day week, student discipline decreases and student engagement increases. The commonly assumed reason for the decrease in student discipline is that students are more actively engaged in more strenuous and rigorous classes than on a five-day week. Keep in mind that student seat time typically increases in the move from a five-day week to a four-day week, so claims that student discipline incidents decrease because they are in school for less time is not a viable argument.
Also, teachers commonly reflect upon the change from a five-day to a four-day week that students work harder, are engaged more, and learn more. Teachers have noted that there is increased intrinsic motivation to cover material in fewer days with more instructional time, and that students adjust to increased expectations by becoming more engaged. Moreover, the extra instructional time allows teachers to better teach more complicated subjects, which can otherwise be a problem especially in math and sciences.
Perhaps most importantly, teacher vitality and morale increases tremendously. Teaching is an extremely difficult job, where it is common for teachers to spend long nights and weekends assessing student work and preparing. Any teacher worth their salt does not work only "to the contract" work hours, but does everything they can in their non-working hours to provide as many learning opportunities for their students as possible. On a five-day week it is not uncommon to see teachers work late on Friday nights grading and assessing the week's student work. Saturdays are often spent working on preparation for the next week's worth of lessons, leaving Sundays to reinvigorate and spend time with their families.

He makes a forceful case for the four-day school week.
He also wrote: "The four-day week is not for all districts". I'd like to learn more about the districts that he thinks would not be well-served by this sort of change. I was surprised that he doesn't see the Friday as an opportunity for struggling students to get some support. Perhaps these topics are covered in his book, where he has more room to discuss the idea.
Posted Thu, Feb 16, 9:50 p.m.
Perhaps I missed it but I read this article and didn't see anything other than anecdotal assertions supporting the statement in the subtitle "Start with better academic performance". If nothing else, the US education system tests its students up the wazoo so it cannot be a lack of data that stops Superintendent Kordosky discussing quantitatively how the students' academic performance improved in his district.
I am sure the teachers love a 4 day work week; it is popular in other venues but does not generally lead to higher productivity which is why it is rare in the private sector (except for medical profession which nobody would accuse of being efficient). I am sure teachers' morale would also improve with a 25% pay raise, so why don't we give it to them and introduce a long school day 5 days a week. I think we would then see spectacular improvements in student performance because as Superintendent Kordosky points out, short school days are inefficient.

Chad Pfefer
What can I say. I can relate to Chads story perfectly. Every point he makes he articulates perfectly and I agree with all of them especially the one he makes about which doctor treats which disease. Watch the videos to find out what he said. Stay well:)
Here is Chad's speech
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3

Am I cured?
It is the four letter "c" word that send shivers down the spine of any doctor or health care professional. Using it inappropriately can spell disaster for anyone in the medical field with your low breed ambulance chasing lawyers looking to file suit on whoever dares even mutter the word. Yes, I am talking about cure.
Now as a patient it is much easier for us to bandy around such venacular as we don't have the same fears or reservations. As patients we don't have to worry about the statistical inference of how a specific sample population responded to a treatment. Our sample group has a very selfish population sample of just one and if it feels like a cure why don't we just call it that.
There has been debate on the forum as to whether or not HSCT is a cure for autoimmune diseases or not. After all, although it has been highly successful in most cases, it is not completely successful in all of them. So, it is not a cure for everyone. But I am a selfish patient so the question I will be asking is has it cured me?
Now I suffered from chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy. Chronic basically means for a long period of time. Now I suffered from CIDP for a long period of time but am I still suffering? A question I will visit later.
Inflammatory is basically referring to a biological action to a harmful stimuli. In this case my immune system. Now we can measure the amount of inflammatory process going on in an individual with a blood test of C reactive proteins or CRP. A normal test should be less than five, but it can sometimes be elevated for obvious reasons. For example, if you went 12 rounds with a heavy weight champion you would have an elevated CRP. But my CRP has remained less than 5 for over a year which would indicate there is no inflammatory response happening in my body.
Thirdly, demyelinating. Essentially the process of the myelin sheath being stripped away from the nerve. Essentially it is a present participle verb. Meaning that the action is happening right now. However, EMG results would show that this is not the case and my nerves are actually regrowing. So the is no demyelinating process underway.
Polyneuropathy. Poly means many. Neuro means nerves. Pathy refers to disease. Essentially, disease of many nerves. If you look at my EMG results I do still have abnormal nerve conduction which could be used as evidence that I am still not cured.
In essence I think that it really comes down to whether you believe the disease refers to the current state of the nerves or whether it refer to the active destruction of my nerves. I am going to go with the latter and boldly say I am cured. However, one could argue that the disease is still present, just in a dormant, inactive phase, like a volcano. The medical profession has a word for this too. It's called remission. Personally, with no autoimmune disease markers or CRP in my blood test results I still like cure but I guess everyone can make up their own mind. Until next time, stay well:)

Medical Tourism
A couple of weeks ago I had a phone interview with a lady from Monash university who was doing a study into medical tourism. Finding out what motivated people to do such a thing and their personal feelings about making the decision.
My decision to embark on a trip to a foreign country over a year ago was one of (if not) the best decisions of my life. I have my health back and still over time I am slowly getting better and better. I also know other people who have benefitted from traveling for treatment and going overseas basically opens up a much wider scope of treatment options. Hence, I am a big advocate of medical tourism.
BUT, a venture such as what I did or any form of medical tourism should only be undertaken with great caution. There are a great many factors to consider that may effect getting treated properly. Even when I went to the USA, which has the same language and a similar culture there were differences in attitude and procedure that were very different.
However, this is not the main reason to be cautious. In your own country you are normally quite familiar with the ethics and safety of your medical system. In most countries the medical field is very closely scrutinised. In Australia it is impossible to practice medicine without a license and all hospitals and medical bodies are governed by an ethics committee. Above them there are state and federal laws ensuring that medicine is practiced safely and ethically. You go to another country you cannot be sure of this framework so it is important to do your homework. One of the reasons I chose to go to Chicago was I felt very secure with the medical practices of both the country and the hospital.
Another issue that you need to be wary of is the snake oil salesman. These disgusting vile creatures are the lowest of the low. They basically offer services that won't work. Praying on desperate individuals that are trying to rid themselves of illness is worthy of scum who are only one or two rungs from the bottom of societies filth. It is really important be able to identify this and this can be achieved by researching the doctor, the medical institution and the country you are thinking of visiting to see if it is possible for the unscrupulous to fall through the cracks.
At the end of the day the most important thing is to make sure you are comfortable doing what you are doing. If you are in a trial you must be prepared for the treatment to not work. No matter what there is always going to be some risk. As an individual you have to work out the cost and risk vs benefit. If you think it is ok, then go for it. Until next time, stay well:)

A big week
I had lots planned for last week. I not only feel well enough now to be able to get off my BFA and do something, I actually feel driven to do so too. Honestly, this is a new feeling for me. I haven't felt like this in the best part of ten years and I had forgotten what is was like to feel motivated and driven. It is amazing to think that when you are sick what effect it has on you that you don't even realise.
Anyway, my motivation took a dive when I started developing a cold on Monday. But this was no time to crawl back under my stone. I just had to suck it up and push on which I did. Not travelling to Sydney and rescheduling all the meetings I had planned was going to be way too hard all things considered.
Anyway, I had my first meeting on Tuesday morning. It was with representatives of the Steve Waugh Foundation and their goal is to help children with rare diseases. They do this by financially assisting sufferers with treatment, medication and equipment. I thought it might be a good fit for me as when I looked at setting up my own charity I was thinking about a treatment based charity that assisted patients finding effective treatments for their condition (starting with HSCT for auto immune diseases).
I have since found out that setting up a charity is ridiculously hard and the advice I received was to find another charity with a similar agenda and assist them from within their structure. Personally, this meant that I could start doing what I wanted sooner and I would not have to waste any time with the administrative duties plus it would decrease my personal liability. From where I stood the Steve Waugh Foundation was a good fit.
My meeting was very constructive however, it was not quite the right fit. I'm sure if I keep on traveling down this path I will deal with them in the future but for now not so. The Steve Waugh Foundation is set up to assist people financially. I want to directly advocate for people and help find treatments for them so it is not a perfect match. On the plus side I got some great contacts and was able to figure out my next step.
In the long run this is the direction I want to go in. I believe that in the course of my education and career, coupled with my experience as a patient and trying to find solutions to my own problems I am ideally suited to advocate for others. So, watch this space. I have only just started.
On the other "professional" note I met with an old friend who has now become a neurologist. Aside from being a great catchup on a personal note it was also an awesome opportunity to show a neurologist first hand how I have improved after HSCT. Doctors can be your biggest advocate or your biggest spoiler and when it comes to a "patient" trying to tell them something they instantly become guarded. Interestingly enough I have been called by doctors both an inspiration (thank you) and a charlatan. I would take the latter personally if I didn't have a thick skin and the doctor wasn't a complete moron.
I also met with someone who could help me with my book. The lady in question has spent a lifetime in publishing and to get some quality feedback was invaluable. I honestly have to say that without her assistance I probably wouldn't finish the book. I was really quite nervous when I went to see her. I have never written a book before and I have to say that I was really worried that she was going to tell me it was rubbish. Luckily, she said she really liked it and keep going. Phew. I once again could breathe and keep going with renewed confidence that I was doing a good job.
But above all the interesting things that happened whilst I was in Sydney there was one that stood out more than the rest. When I first got sick with CIDP I was living in Sydney and I used to play indoor cricket with some friends. After I got sick I had to stop playing as I couldn't run the length of the wicket any more.
When I had my HSCT last year one of my goals was to play cricket again. So I hooked up with old side and went out for a game. As nervy as it was I could once again run the wicket and although my crafty left arm overs had lost their swing and sting I could still put the ball in the right place to cause a few headaches. And it did. According to the score card I was the best performing member of my team! Which doesn't say much, my team isn't very good but I'll take it anyway. Oh and yes, we got severely hammered. What counted for me though is that I played. And I not only played but I was competitive.
I have attached the score card. They have me down as playing as my nickname, Pommie. Which isn't so bad. At least I am not Gobble Gobble or Huggies.
Other than that the only thing to happen of not on my journey was that I caught up with another old university friend and we went and watched Star Trek. What an awesome movie! Until next time, stay well:)

A Big One
OK, I admit. It has been a while since my last post. But for good reason. I have been really busy. I have been making good headway with my book that I told you all about last time and I have been really busy with some other things too. I would love to share them all with you but not now. All in good time:)
Being busy has also given me a heap to write about and it is all good. I am really excited about the remainder of this year so I will keep you posted. But what to write about now? Well, if I stuck I can always return to my favourite subject. Me. I'll give you a wrap of my latest kidney op.
But before then I have something else to share. This is post number 400! And I have been writing it for over three years now. I hope you have all enjoyed reading.
Well, wrapping up my kidney surgery. I got the stent out under local this time which wasn't great but to get an anaesthetist to come in would have meant another week. I had to weigh up the pros and cons and decided that being awake for the procedure wasn't as bad as a week with a stent. FYI, stents suck.
It all went quite well though. I did have a small problem afterwards though. I was having some pain and irritation in the down stairs department and I thought I might have a UTI, which is reasonably common after kidney surgery. So I went to the doc and he agreed and put me on antibiotics. A day later I passed a couple of small kidney stones that were probably remnants of my kidney surgery.
Well it's nice to be through it. Until next time, stay well:)

All Gone Well
Well, I must apologise. I said I would write to let you all know how I went from my surgery within 48 hours. It has now been three days since I woke up from my forced unconsciousness and as of yet I have failed to write anything. If you were worried, I am sorry but the good news is that everything went well and I am well on the road to recovery.
There are a few things that I didn't really like about the procedure though. First, as I mentioned in an earlier post, I went to a hospital that I had never been to before and although I was perfectly happy with the hygiene, cleanliness and quality of the hospital from a medical point of view it was no where near the best I had been to.
It was all the little things. Being a much older hospital all the corridors were very narrow. 100 years ago when the hospital was built the trolley beds were much narrower so to fit bed through was easier and didn't require as much room. These days the average bed is much wider and therefore requires more room. So much so that two beds could not fit down one corridor. This would be even more problematic if people left wheel chairs, IV poles etc down the way. When I went for my morning walk (on the only morning I was there) it felt more like an obstacle course than a hospital ward.
Second, the plumbing. There were no mixer taps so the temperature of the water was either hot or cold. To get a mix you had to fill the sink up. The other problem with the plumbing was that the old pipes made a lot of noise.
Third, the food. Now hospitals, along with schools and airlines have very poor food but in recent times the food at all locations has markedly improved. Unfortunately, not here. But at least it was only one night. Lastly, my biggest complaint. There was no WiFi!!!!!
However, if I had to go back there I probably would as there is a great deal more to hospital treatment than the little fluffy extras to a hospital. The staff were pretty good, and I am very comfortable with my doctor and this limits the number of available hospitals. I guess that I could try and convince my urologist to change his list of hospitals but I think that would be a very hard get.
Thinking about my whole experience I do remember a post I wrote recently about how I found it hard to recall my three week hospital visit in Chicago. In the middle of my hospital visit at the Freemasons I could recall that my experience was really similar to my last kidney stone outing but before I went in I recalled it as not nearly being so bad. I think that the mind does play tricks on ones self in order to protect itself from mental trauma. However, even in the middle of all of it I still think that the intervention is a small price to pay to be stone free.
There is one thing that I really find more annoying than others though, and that is urinary stents. All the medical professionals say they don't hurt. I hate to burst their bubble, but they're wrong. You see, a stent basically ensures that swelling doesn't seal the ureter blocking the kidney. The problem is that although the stent will bypass potential swelling, it also bypasses a valve that prevents urine from washing back into the kidney. So when pressure in the bladder increases (Such as when you urinate) urine floods back into the kidney causing pain. And when you have as much scar tissue in your kidney as I do it hurts even more. However, it is better than a blockage so it is a necessary evil and just means that I have to take some pain medication to counter which also comes with its own set of problems such as drowsiness etc…
Well, that is it for me. The stent comes out on Tuesday which is only two days away. Until then, stay well

Back to Hospital
Well, I have just got back from a wonderful two week break in the Gold Coast with the family which was great. However, I know I am firmly back to reality as tomorrow I am back to hospital to have my kidney stone removed.
Now I just want to make a few points here. First, this is nothing to do with the stem cell transplant I had last year. This is a completely different disorder. The HSCT process has been and continues to be a complete success. Second, it is nothing to really be worried about as I am not. My fellow cystinurics would know that unfortunately this is routine which is a good and bad thing. Bad because it is routine. Good because I know exactly what to expect and I have come to fully accept it as part of life.
It has been so routine for me that I have gone about my everyday life in such a way that I have all but forgotten about it. It is now almost 7.00pm and I still haven't packed yet. I really am simply concerned about what I am going to eat for my final meal (as I am nil by mouth from midnight) and finishing this blog.
Now some may consider this a no no, but I do it anyway and that is tonight I'll stay up really late so tomorrow I am tired. Why? Well I am going to sleep because of the anaesthetic tomorrow anyway and I'll probably doze all afternoon. If I sleep well tonight I'll be awake alight tomorrow night as the anaesthetic all but wears off. That is really boring as there is little to do during the middle of the night in hospital.
Well, feel free to wish me luck. I'll be posting in the next 48 hours to let you know how I went. Stay well:)

12 Time-Saving Tech Tools That Please
Accountants are a special breed of people with above average intelligence, a genuine interest in helping people, and often a lot going on in their lives both professionally and personally. No, I'm not trying to butter you up; it's simply an observation that we are busy people who can learn to use tools fairly quickly to do a job better and faster. This month, I want to suggest a few useful hardware and software tools that you may not have discovered yet.
MIFI Cellular Broadband – Sprint, AT&T or Verizon
We have recommended cellular broadband modems for some time, but a key development over the last few years is a small, transportable unit that allows a single cellular connection to be shared by up to five devices. Think how often you and an associate, an audit team or a family member are out with computers, cell phones, iPads, etc., and you're in need of Internet access. These devices conveniently give secure access to a small group of people.
www.wireless.att.com/coverageviewer/#?type=data (AT&T coverage map)
Personal scanner with Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500
Personal scanners are not new news, but this model is good for your home, and possibly your own office for light-duty scanning. If you need the convenience of converting paper to PDF or a paper document into Word, this is probably your solution. We still prefer production quality workgroup scanners like the Fujitsu fi-6130 or fi-6230 for higher volume and higher quality.
This appliance allows you to share a hard drive from home or office securely over the Internet. There are no ongoing fees, and this device is priced at $129. Pogoplug allows files or folders to be transferred securely, and even has an interface for your iPhone if you'd like to pick up a file that you've left behind. Setup time is only a few minutes, and almost no technical expertise is required.
Barcode with Wasp Barcode
Wasp Barcode has so many useful, practical and inexpensive products that the company deserves a column by itself. For those who need to manage fixed assets, count inventory easily, use payroll time clocks, need hardware for Point-of-Sale, this provider is the place to look (with even more solutions, as well). They create simple hardware and software packages to solve small business issues and are robust enough to be used in medium to large organizations.

Backup over the Web with Gillware
"As long as we have your data, we can recover you," has served as a pretty good mantra for me over the last 40+ years. What happens if your home or office is destroyed? What happens if your computer's hard drive fails? What happens if your client or family member has a hard drive failure? Gillware offers a backup program that will backup Outlook PST and QuickBooks files at no charge, and can be branded by your firm if you desire. Yes, they want you to buy their product to back up everything else, and I think that's a good idea, too.
Transferring Files & Portals with ShareFile
The difficult job of setting up a portal can be done in minutes with this product. They brand to fit your firm and can easily move very large files. A newly added feature to this product is Optical Character Recognition (OCR) for full text search of all the documents in the portal.

The monthly Toronto Fright Nights series returns with a new location (The Projection Booth Metro, 677 Bloor Street West, Toronto) and the Canadian Premiere of STRIPPERS VS. WEREWOLVES on Saturday September 22nd at 9 p.m.; an appropriate film for what was—and still is by day—Toronto's oldest hardcore porn palace.
When werewolf chief Jack Ferris is accidentally killed in a strip club the girls who work there have until the next full moon before his bloodthirsty wolf pack seek murderous retribution. This campy crowd pleaser directed by Jonathan Glendening features Robert Englund (Nightmare on Elm Street series), Steven Berkoff and Martin Kemp of Spandau Ballet!
As a special boner, er, bonus, the short film BONDAGE PRISON will also splat onto the screen. In it, sassy news reporter Aphrodite Jackson has been framed and sent to the worst women's prison in the country, where she must survive the daily threat of violence and rape. A war on three fronts, she must defend herself against a viscous pack of lesbians who won't take no for an answer, tough-as-nails prison guards and the evil dominatrix Warden Ash: Mistress of the Whip!
The evening will be hosted by Fango contributor and Fright Nights mastermind, Kelly Michael Stewart. Amazing prizes will be given out courtesy of FANGORIA Magazine and Suspect Video, along with a live horror themed intro performance by the Underground Peepshow Burlesque Collective.
Wanna come out and see some of the cheerful sleaze?

How I Spent My Summer Vacation |
By Cooper of the North BJ and Tom sure like driving. I don't mind it either. I get my own seat to sprawl out on and when the windows of the truck are open, I can stick my head out and feel the wind go through my ears. If we are going on a long trip to a new place, they usually pack something between their seat and mine, so as we ride, I can stand close and put my head on their shoulders. I have always liked riding in the truck, ever since the first time they brought me home when I was a pup. I rode for five hours and slept almost all the way, except when Tom played a song that made me think there was a loon inside the truck. So, here we go again on another adventure. We are going to the Black Hills so Tom can run a marathon. I'll wait with BJ where people will pet me and tell me that I'm handsome (I already know that), but I would rather be running with Tom. I know I can handle the distance. I know I can. Maybe sometime, I'll just try! After a long drive, we are now in a nice place called Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Seeing rolling hills and grassland as we drove was different from the woods I am used to. I could see forever, and Tom says he likes the blue. He calls it "Big Sky" country. We're staying near a creek under some cottonwood trees whose leaves make a swishing sound. BJ and Tom have been looking for a strange animal with horns that looks like a big brown cow. I'm glad we didn't see any. All I saw were little squirrels standing on their back legs in front of holes in the ground. BJ called them prairie dogs, but I'm pretty smart. They were not dogs. I wish I had a chance to chase them. I would show them what a real dog can do. Tonight should be fun. I get to sleep in our new tent. We had hot dogs and beans for supper, so maybe it won't be so much fun after all. Day 2 - Tom and I started our day with a run. It's great when we get to do that, but I would rather not be on a leash. We ran through some big rocks that were pretty colors, but we still didn't see any horny cows. I got a quick glimpse of my cousin, "Wolfie" when we started our drive, but I was already in my "back seat" mode, and I didn't even bark "hello." Instead, I took a long nap and only woke when I saw an animal that I thought I would like to chase. It was tan and white and looked like the deer back home, except it had different horns. It was standing next to a sign that said, "Welcome to South Dakota." BJ and Tom are really impulsive. We met our neighbors from the national park campground at a gas station and asked them where they were going. They replied, "Devil's Tower, Wyoming". We looked at a map and said, "Let's go there, too." When I woke up again, I was hungry and could smell lunch. We were picnicking next to the big rocky tower that stuck up in the sky. It looked scary, like a spot people would climb only if they were very brave. I sniffed around, got in my seat in the truck, and went back to sleep. When I woke again, we were in the woods, and I knew we would be staying here. It was very pretty. There were lots of yellow flowers I had never seen before. Better yet, we were the only ones there, and I got to run and sniff wherever I wanted. After we set up our tent, we took a walk on a path in the hills where I got to run as much as I wanted. I had been in the truck for almost two days, so I really showed BJ and Tom how much I loved to run. The path looked like back home in the woods, but it was also different. There were no big bushes or weeds to slow me down, and the ground felt soft under my paws. I never had to run to check where BJ and Tom were because I could always see them through the trees. I saw many more yellow flowers as we went higher. I could smell pine trees all around, and when I stopped and listened, I could hear the soft wind blowing through their needles. When we finished, we built a campfire, and I lay by the road to rest. The country we drove through today was filled with rolling hills and grazing cattle. The cows we passed inspired us to stop in a small town to find a butcher shop to buy some steaks. We cooked them on the wood fire. They were so huge, I got a big taste. Mmmm. I'm a lucky boy. If this keeps up, I won't have to touch my dog food. Day 3 - Tom and I ran on the same trail as yesterday. I knew where I was going now, so I explored further away. I didn't want to leave because it was such a nice place, but when Tom called, I slowly sniffed my way back to him. We drove on a scenic road bordered by high cliffs called Spearfish Canyon. A few years ago, some people shot a movie here called "Dances with Wolves." It was about a man and an animal that was called "Tatanka." Boy, they have funny words here: bison, buffalo, tatanka! I took a nap. When I woke, we were in the town of Deadwood. It looked like we would see cowboys; but instead, all I heard was "cha ching, cha ching!" After a short time, we stopped in another spot where four huge faces were chiseled high up in the rocks. I wasn't too interested. We parked inside a garage next to a foreign dog that kept barking in a language I didn't understand. I liked it better when we returned to driving because there were trees all around. Once in a while, I could still see those four faces in the distance. I asked to stretch my legs, so we stopped for lunch and got a final look at them. By now, we were all tired, so we went to our hotel in Sturgis for the night. We had a hard time finding a place to walk because it was such a small town. I wasn't impressed. I did see a few motorcycles. It might be fun to ride in one of them in a sidecar in the open air. I bet that breeze would feel good through my ears. I slept OK, even though I heard "people" noises all night and had to bark to make them quiet down. Tom woke me at 3:50 AM so he could get ready to run. He had to take a bus in Deadwood to run on the trail. The bus driver wouldn't allow me to board, so I hung out with BJ in town. I got a lot of pets and hugs and was on my best behavior all day. The most fun was nosing around a creek. I was looking for gold, but didn't find any. Tom did OK, and I could tell he was feeling good because we left after he finished and drove to another park in the hills. At a sign that read "Wind Cave National Park," we saw the buffalo we were looking for. They were so close! I was impressed with their size. They were big. I knew they would not be any fun to play with, so I hid in my back seat. We parked under a tree in the shade, and I napped while they walked in an underground cave for 1-½ hours. When they returned, they chattered away about "popcorn" and" boxwork," two words I didn't understand. It was getting late as we drove through Custer State Park towards our campground. We were scanning the hills and scenery trying to spot more animals. We saw turkey, antelope, and deer. I wasn't too impressed with the park, until we saw our campground. I liked the idea that we had cancelled our second night in a hotel so we could all stay together in our tent again. It was a nice campground, with a creek running through it and hills on both sides. When we arrived, a few of the big brown animals were in front eating grass. I liked it there, because there was a lot to look at. I thought I caught a glimpse of a potential friend, but I concentrated on food. I was hungry from all that traveling and BJ was trying to make sloppy Joes without the necessary ingredients. She is a great cook. You should taste the cookies she makes for me. But that's another story. Tom liked the sandwiches, and so did I. After we ate, Tom was stiff from the marathon and wanted to stretch his legs, so I pulled him along on my long leash. We met a man from Minnesota who was very excited to see me. I knew something was going to happen, because we went back to our tent to dress me in my black collar. When we returned to him, I couldn't believe my eyes. Next to the man was the most beautiful dog I had ever seen. She was black and white, about my size, and looked just like me! Her name was Claire, and oh my gosh, we got to play together! We ran and ran and ran. I chased her. Then, she chased me. And then, we did more of the same. We sniffed and boxed and played until we were both tired, and after we rested and drank from the creek, we sniffed and boxed and ran again. Wow, was she fast and strong, too! Every time I tried a move on her, she put a move on me! It was the best time I ever had in my life. It was also the best way I could ever think of to finish my vacation. Tomorrow, we are going home, but tonight, we all went to sleep smiling. As for me, I think I'm in love! Day 5 - When we woke, Tom took me to look for buffalo. They had moved nearer to a lodge built in the 1920's where lots of presidents stayed. We went to see the lodge before we left the park. On our way home, we stopped at a small town to see a famous store called Wall Drug. Then, we drove through country called the Badlands. It looked like we were on the moon. The rocks were red and yellow and tan, and we stopped for lots of pictures. I got to take walks when we stopped. There was one spot that I will always remember. I was hunting in the long grass, and when I looked in one direction, all I could see for miles was long grass. In the other direction, I saw cliffs and a moonscape. It was a unique spot and I liked it, but I can't say I enjoyed it. I wasn't feeling well. Maybe it was the heat. Maybe I was tired from last night. Or maybe, I was lovesick. BJ wanted to relive one of her childhood memories, so we stopped at Mitchell, South Dakota, to see the Corn Palace. When she was growing up, she visited the Corn Palace and was simply awed. The inside and outside of the building were decorated with murals made from corn. They found a tree to park under so I could have some shade in the 90 degree heat and were only inside long enough to jog BJ's memory tree. It was "big time" for both of them, and for me, it was fine. After that break, it felt like we drove in the truck for hours without stopping. We crossed the Big Muddy (Missouri) and headed east and north, hoping we would find a place near the highway to camp. We finally found a small "mom and pop" campground called Camp Dakota. It was a godsend to find so late in the day. We had a big tree to sleep under, and it was very pleasant when we sat at the picnic table in the breeze and cooked pork chops. Early in the morning, it stormed. During a lull in the rain, we quickly broke camp and threw all our gear in the back of the truck without folding it. We were lucky to get everything in without getting wet and even luckier to have had nice weather on our trip. When I think back to how close I came to not being with BJ and Tom, I know that I'm a lucky boy. Back home, I have my spot under the deck to stay cool and still be on guard for chippies and squirrels. I have my morning runs with Tom to explore new roads and to check places I've been. I have my evenings with them for walks, and my scraps from their plates at every meal. I love our boat rides, where I can stand in the front and let the wind blow through my ears. I didn't even mind falling off the back of the boat once when we were going full speed, because I knew they would be there to pick me up. But out of everything in my life, I like it most when I get to be together with them on the road. It is simply the best! When I finally lay down on my pillow at night, I'm ready for bed. I am tired and sleep peacefully, but I can't wait for the night to pass and morning to come. I wonder what new and exciting things will happen tomorrow. This is how I spent my summer vacation. The end. June/2005 |

Photo: Look at these beautiful bastards.
Atlanta-based trio, Swank Sinatra recently released their new LP, El Terrible, to some mighty high praise from Examiner.com:
"When all is said and done, this record is fun for those who can take humor the same way they take shots of tequila – fast, strong and for partying like they have no manners. El Terrible is drunk with the power of constantly snatching the audience's attention, oftentimes taking advantage but with the best intentions. Swank Sinatra's new album enables folks to tote their balls to the nearest naysayer in the many forms of their humorous rock."

El Terrible is now available as a joint release between Nophi and Atlanta's Blood Drunk label. GET IT HERE!

Happy baby.
I am so, so grateful to be home with her...
to be here to catch these everyday little pieces of magic.
Yes, this blog is called "Hardtales"...a nod to the "tales" I share here about adventures on my hardtail (26 inch!) mountain bike.
I guess I should say "used to share",as it's been some time since I shared anything remotely prolific or interesting about riding (let alone racing).
I can't imagine I'll be composing any kind of race report any time soon (if at all) and I'm pretty sure the next time I ride, it will sound a lot like:
Finally got on the bike.
I hate winter.
My legs feel like sh*t.
Still, I can't think of a better name for this space, so "Hardtales" it is...
Thanks for reading.

Onlookers gasp as the graceful figure tumbles to earth in a slow-motion plunge. Her strong legs twist and spin down a billowing swath of deep-red fabric like a spider expanding its web. It is awe rather than fear, however, that draws the crowd's gasps, as the elegant descent is performed as a demonstration by one of Emerald City Trapeze Arts' skilled instructors during a silks class. A dedication to teaching students of all ages and abilities the skills necessary to capture both the beauty and athleticism of the circus arts is the studio's main mission, upheld by a cadre of circus-grade instructors and a friendly staff.
Below the soaring ceiling of exposed old-growth beams of Seattle's indoor venue or amid the warm breezes of Maui's outdoor trapeze, students leap and balance on well-maintained circus apparatuses as their instructors correct their form and ensure their safety. The staff welcomes aerial enthusiasts to experience the sky-splitting thrills of all manner of circus specialty, from the flying trapeze to acrobalance to Hatha yoga performed on the top of an elephant's stiletto. Along with high-flying classes, Emerald City Trapeze Arts' crew celebrates the circus arts via dances and parties held within the whimsical-yet-rustic Seattle venue, from merriment-packed Halloween festivities to energetic performances by staff and students.
Today's side deal gets you one-day admission to the Seattle Bug Safari on Western Avenue for $4 (an $8 value). Feel your deep-seated phobias for multi-legged exoskeletons evaporate after making the acquaintance of 54 fascinating, exotic insectoid species—from behind the safety of thick glass, of course.

The guides brandish Savor Seattle's signature pink umbrella during the informative tours, which grant anywhere from 12 to 16 pedestrians access to tastings of fresh, seasonal, and organic fare at up to 10 local eateries. Neighborhood outings allow tour-goers to sample the flavors of favorite spots, such as Capitol Hill and Pike Place Market, without the hassle of going door-to-door asking for samples of homeowners' dinners. Themed jaunts spotlight specific culinary heavy hitters, such as gourmet restaurants and chocolatiers. At every pit stop, chefs and restaurateurs divulge behind-the-scenes stories and recipes, and can modify samples to fit dietary restrictions.
Founders Terri and Paulette, along with Home Yoga's experienced crew, caringly and enthusiastically teach 27 classes a week, including A.M. Yoga (start the day with flexibility), Hatha Basics (slow pace perfect for beginners), Hatha Flow (a sequence of positions that promotes strength and endurance), Yoga for Newbe's (for first timers), Yoga Therapeutics (focus on healing the body's overworked areas), and more.

Biden's television gaffe
Joe Biden's tendency to commit verbal gaffes is well known around Washington — and becoming better known around the country. In a television interview this week, Biden was making a point about presidential leadership when he mangled his history. "When the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the princes of greed," Biden said. "He said, 'Look, here's what happened.'" A couple of problems. First, television was in its infancy in 1929, and not many Americans owned a set. Second, Herbert Hoover was president. Roosevelt wouldn't take office until March 1933. Other than that, we take Sen. Biden's point about the need for visible presidential leadership.

Pet of the Week at the Canton Animal Shelter July 21, 2012
Meet Mindy!
Canton Animal Shelter's pet of the week is Mindy. Mindy is a 5-year-old long haired black cat with huge green eyes.
Mindy was brought in as a stray. She was covered in mats and very skinny.
The shelter believes that Mindy did belong to someone and possibly got lost because she was fixed. Her disposition is loveable and playful. She cuddles and purrs and loves to be around people.
Won't you come in and meet Mindy? She deserves to be in a loving home.
Contact the Canton Animal Shelter at (781)575-6507.
Amy Nachbar
9:39 pm on Saturday, July 21, 2012
If I didn't have 3 cats of my own and my visiting grandson cat Simba, then I would surely take Mindy. I spent over an hour at the shelter and this cat not only looks like one of those cats on the cat food commercials because of her long coat but her temperament is purrfect. She is sweet and rubs against you and looks at you when you're talking like she understands what you're saying. She is a doll!

(Theobroma grandiflorum)
Growing wild in the eastern sub-region of the Brazilian Amazonia, Cupuaçu is a stable butter obtained from the fruit seed of the Cupuaçu tree. Cupuaçu also contains a range of phytosterols (natural plant estrogens). Beneficial for dry damaged skin and hair, it acts as an emollient to confer softness and a conditioned feel on the skin - this is the rain forests answer to unrefined shea butter. The moisturising benefits help restore the skins natural humidity and elasticity. Reduces degeneration of skin cells and restores flexibility, moisture retention and elasticity to the skinThe nuts are harvested between January and June and cold pressed + filtered to yield a cream coloured butter. Cupuaçu butter has a very impressive content of oleic acid and possess a better water absorption than lanolin. A solid butter, cupuaçu melts at 30°C and it takes ~1tonne of seeds to produce 135kgs of butter.Cupuaçu butter can be used for lip balms, soaps, creams, hair products and body butters.
Our purchase of cupuaçu butter from remote indigenous communities throughout the Amazon River basin area helps to preserve the natural habitat and directly improves local economic conditions and sustainability.

Posted: Dec 27, 2012 5:40 AM by Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - The average number of people seeking unemployment benefits over the past month fell to the lowest level since March 2008, a sign that the job market is healing.
The Labor Department says weekly applications dropped 12,000 to a seasonally adjusted 350,000 in the week ended Dec. 22. The four-week average, a less volatile measure, fell to a nearly five-year low of 356,750.
Still, the figures were disrupted by the Christmas holiday. A department spokesman said many state unemployment offices were closed Monday and Tuesday and unable to compile complete data. Fourteen states provided estimates and the department estimated the numbers for five additional states.
The government might estimate one or two states in a typical week, but 19 state estimates are unusually high.

Hi everyone,
I was just curious to know if it would be overkill to have 2 diffusers at each end of a tank? I have a 55g long and I just feel like the other side of the tank is not getting enough co2. Is that really the case? I'm not sure. I ordered a drop checker and it still hasn't arrived. I thought of using air splitter valve to do this. Let me know. Sorry for the stupid question.
Thanks much,

Are your friends on the fence?
Subscribe to our blog
November 5, 2012
Tomorrow is election day. Tomorrow, marriage equality in Maryland will be determined by voters like you, and it's very close.
It's critical that we get every vote we can, and opponents of fairness and equality are spending big to spread lies. If you still have friends on the fence about why they should vote FOR Question 6, share these facts with them.
FACT: Question 6 has cast-iron religious protections, and protects religious freedom better than ever. The ballot language itself says, "protects clergy from having to perform any particular marriage ceremony in violation of their religious beliefs."
Here's how Prince George's County Mount Ennon's Baptist Church Reverend Delman Coates explains it, "I support this law because it does not force any church to perform a same-sex marriage if it's against their beliefs."
FACT: Teachers decide what's taught in school, and parents teach their kids values at home. Question 6 doesn't do anything to schools.
Here's how Baltimore County teacher Pamela Gaddy explains it, "I've been a teacher for 16 years, and I know, Question 6 has nothing to do with what's taught in a classroom."
FACT: Question 6 is about fairness and making sure that everyone is protecting equally under the law. That's it.
Here's how former Delegate Todd Schuler explains it, " I'm not going to be the guy who looks his friends in the eye and tells them I voted against treating them fairly. That's why I'm voting for Question 6."

VERSUS 40% cut by vaccination in Mexico"Rotavirus vaccine cuts deaths of Mexican babies from diarrhoea by 40%" states a January, 2010, British Medical Journal headline summarizing two studies.(1) Yet, a study of Brazilian children finds that exclusive breastfeeding cuts diarrhea cases in this similarly developing nation by a whopping 90% (1 / 9.41), versus a diet of formula and/or other foods.(2) A study on the cost of breastfeeding promotion programs for Brazil and Mexico accounted a 30 to 40 cent cost per birth for breastfeeding promotion programs.(3) The vaccine costs $190 for a series of 3 oral doses. The vaccine also leads to a substantial increase in cases of intussusception, a dangerous intestinal condition where part of the intestine folds in, inside itself. Treatment costs and lives lost from this side effect of the vaccine should be considered as well. 1 A.

Stress in Infancy by Linda Folden Palmer, D.C.
"Dr. Palmer's book exhaustively lists the scientific evidence behind attachment parenting, breastfeeding and the reality of food allergies… Dr. Palmer shows how the establishment of science-conquering-nature has caused unnecessary suffering and heartache to parents and babies alike." More: Vegetarian Baby and Child | "Dr. Linda Palmer's rebuttals of current mainstream child-rearing trends (artificial infant food, cow's milk consumption) do not stop at their negative impact on infants but rather create a compelling and well-cited argument for their links with lifelong negative complications."
