The simple sensation of touching someone's hand can have a powerful therapeutic effect. Hand massage is a positive and meaningful way of reaching out and providing comfort to those who are elderly, ill or nearing the end of life, and it can be particularly effective for people with dementia who may respond well to positive non-verbal interaction.

Hello everyone,
I just read an article saying that time may be disappearing. This hypothesis is based on string theory, and according to a series of papers published by Jose Senovilla and Mike Mars, our Lorentzian brane signature (with 3 space and 1 time dimension) may be turning into a Euclidean one (with 4 space dimensions), which means that time is slowly disappearing.
Now, all this sounds bizzare to anyone with a rational brain, but say I were a scientist and I wanted to test this hypothesis i.e. time is slowly disappearing, which experiments should I carry out or what types of data can I collect to confirm it ? How can I definitively prove or disprove this hypothesis ?
And please, give me some serious answers. No "just look at your watch" or "just build a time machine" type comments. I'm really curious about this, and I admit that I can't even understand 1 % of the theory behind it, but I still want to know what we, as humans, can do to prove such a hypothesis.
One of Mars' papers says that light cones will stop existing if we only had 4 space dimensions. Would the narrowing of light cones prove that time is slowly disappearing ?
Looking forward to your answers. The more, the better.

Yati, Gowry, and Ah Chik are three Malaysian girls.
Yati is a Malay girl from Kelantan, on the northeast of Malaysia. Her parents own a batik factory that has been her family's pride and joy for generations.
Ah Chik's origins can be traced back ten generations to Fujian province, China. Her ancestors were traders who saw in Malaysia a new future through commerce in the Straits of Malacca.
Gowry is a fashion designer. Her talent and love of fabrics were passed down to her by her grandfather, a textile merchant in Madras before he decided to relocate his family and business to Malaysia.
Yati, Gowry, and Ah Chik are three different girls, but they share a lot of similarities. A common passion is food. One of Malaysia's famous dishes is the "rojak" salad – a wild mix of vegetables, fruits, chilies, squid, sauce, and assorted fried goodies. Sweet, sour, and spicy all at once. Sounds like it wouldn't work, but it does.
Malaysia is the same. Different ethnic groups have come together to share a land, opportunities, traditions, foods, languages, festivals, religions, and values to create a common modern history.
When you come to Malaysia, you do not visit one country. You discover many cultures. You will meet plenty of Yatis, Gowrys, and Ah Chiks. Each will draw you into their own culture and will stay in your memory.- Welcome, Selamat Datang, Huan Ying, Vanakam.

The new changes to the Facebook desktop interface should be an eye-opener for any business using social networking platforms to connect with the public. It's said that the revamped news feed has been designed in order to emulate the stripped-down Facebook app interface, as enjoyed by smartphone and tablet users. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that the new look had been constructed in order to provide laptop and PC Facebook users with a less cluttered approach, with the ticker being given less prominence and relocated to subtle black sidebar, whilst photos and videos that appear on the news feed are now allocated more screen space. Whilst Zuckerberg has played down rumours that the refresh has been adopted purely with business in mind, the fact remains that the benefits to business promoting themselves via Facebook would seem vast.

Wooden Stone's airy, 5,000-square-foot gallery space showcases fine American crafts that blend artistry and function. Now representing more than 600 American craftspeople, 100 of who are Carolinas natives, Wooden Stone primarily highlights work made by small numbers of artists at a time. The selection of finely crafted, functional artwork ranges from furniture to jewelry, and each of the pieces—composed of materials including ceramics, wood, glass, and metal—greets buyers with its own distinct feel and favorite knock-knock joke.
Jazzercise is 60 minutes of cardio, strength training, and stretching that incorporates moves from hip-hop, yoga, Pilates, jazz dance, kickboxing, and resistance training with handheld weights. Dancing with the Stars multiple-champion Cheryl Burke is a big fan of Jazzercise's improvisational workouts, though luckily you won't need her dance moves to get the most out of your class. If you're prone to first-class jitters, though, you can review the basic moves online before you go. Expect to burn up to 500 calories with each go-round.
In 2002, Mike Southard took a leap of faith worthy of The Dukes of Hazzard. He left a career in the elevator industry and decided to pursue his true passion: stock-car driving. Southard launched Try It Racing and On Track Racing Experience, determined to share with others the thrill he had felt many times in the victory lane of late-model stock-car races. His business has grown from a few humble events and clients each year to a fully packed schedule at some of the country's longest running and most renowned racetracks. Some things haven't changed, however—you can still find Southard behind the wheel of the two-seat ride-along car, taking patrons around curves and straightaways at top speed.
Adrenaline fiends satisfy their cravings while driving or riding around tracks such as Orange County Speedway, where industry legends Jeff Gordon and Scott Riggs have burned their share of rubber. A professional photographer and in-car video cameras can capture the excitement at each event, memorializing guests' wide-open eyes, exhilarated smiles, and high-intensity games of I Spy.
After assessing your golf background and problem areas, Williams will tailor your lesson to your needs. Beginners are welcome, or more experienced golfers can use the lesson to improve their swing. Lessons at Perfect Fit include instruction and usage of the Explanar golf-swing training system, which improves swing technique by guiding movement through a large, adjustable hoop made of wishes. You'll go home with written notes for practice as well as a DVD copy of a swing video with voice-over commentary.
Though Colleen McFiggins didn't invent the camera, that doesn't mean she won't invent it someday in an alternate universe wherein cameras have yet to be invented. Put her nurturing directorial skills and time-freezing talents to the test by having her coax natural smiles out of your family, children, significant other, pets, or newborn and create a profound mail-able message. Sessions last one to three hours—as long as it takes Colleen to get great shots and fulfill your collaborative creative vision. Afterward, you'll pick your two favorite photos and work with Colleen to conceptualize two holiday cards. She'll add the holiday borders and sparkles you request and put the card templates on a CD in an easily printable 4"x6" format. If you'd like a CD with the other images of the shoot, you'll get it at a 30% discount with this Groupon.
Haunted rides amble through picturesque stretches of the Latta Plantation Nature Preserve, surrounding guests in the season's spine-tingling chills and frightful sights on select October evenings. Rolling through the dark shadows of the haunted forest, the ride activates guests' latent scream sensors while it creeps past eerie haunts and awkward zombie family reunions. After hopping off the macabre vehicle, groups are free to peruse the premises' plethora of fall activities, such as a jaunt through the twists and turns of the straw maze ($3), a ride on the cow train ($2), or malicious marshmallow roastings over an open flame ($1) (additional activities are not included with this offer).

When my opponent limped I was really caught off guard. I wasn't sure if he was some novice who had no clue that he shouldn't be doing that at this late stage of the game (down to two tables with blinds so high) or if he was slowplaying a monster.
I leaned towards him likely being a novice, limping with a small pocket pair or perhaps an AT s00ted! type holding. But I was concerned that if I open-shoved I still had two very large stacks behind me left to act, plus Villian could be slowplaying a monster and hoping someone messes up.
So I opted for just a 3x BB raise to hopefully take it down preflop, and not expose my entire stack if there was trouble waiting for me.
When Villian cold-called and we saw the flop, I was only worried about him having pocket 8's, or perhaps slowplayed AA or KK. But for the most part I felt like he was in there with something like AT, AJ or a small pair, and the pot was large enough in relation to our stacks that I didn't want to give him a free card, so I shoved.
Looking back at this hand I can obviously fault my opponent for limp-calling with KJ offsuit at this stage of the game, that's just an awful play that will cost him tons of chips in the long run.
But I'm not without fault either. I agree with others who posted that I should be shoving preflop in this spot, due to the M of my stack. Was pretty disappointing to just miss the final table here.

I don't know AJ, I don't see the necessity for the shove with this hand. A couple of people on the earlier thread even recommended checking the flop. Although, a bet would have given you more information about his hand. A call or re-raise would have told you he had a hand and you could have made a better decision once the turn came out.
As far as his call PF. Why not? He was just trying to see the flop cheaply with unsuited paint and your raise was big enough to tell him he was up against something, but worth the gamble if no ace comes out. You were the raiser, his check on the flop was to see what you would do. Don't know if I would think my KJ was good once you went all-in, but he obviously did.
Like I said, I just don't get why the all-in was a forgone conclusion at any time in this hand. But, that's just me.......

You're right Suzan, I agree I made a number of mistakes in this hand that just compounded the situation that cost me my whole stack.
But to call attention to my opponents mistake. The blinds are now 800/1600 with an ante of 200. There's two tables left and most players have relatively small stacks compared to the blinds.
KJ is a questionable hand to be playing from early position for a limp when the blinds are 15/30. Now that they're even larger in relation to your stack size, you really can't be limping here.
Actually, you shouldn't be limping ANY hand 7-handed with the blinds and stack sizes as they are. If you are going to play a hand, you should be coming in for a raise. No one is deep-stacked enough for it to make any sense as far as implied odds are concerned, for you to limp KJ or pocket 6's or whatever.

A better than average player will limp w/ AA lest than 10% generally ?
So you are playing 7 handed , but K J is a "majority play" hand in this spot , "he" your opponent know he will to play a small pot with it. And this all "pre-flooop" . Right ?

Ok, AJ, I see your point about not limping at this stage. And I agree that KJ is iffy from early position at any time. I was just trying to justify that guys play.
(And I hope you know I was not criticizing you at all.)

November 16, 2009 12:43:16 PM EST
Only thing I can say you could have different would be to shove preflop. As played, hes an idiot for limping KJ at this part of the tourney with his stack. I think you just got unlucky and yeah better luck next time. If he called shove preflop with that hand then i go broke too.

The way Villain played this hand, I'm sure he limp-calls shoves 8 times in 10 with that hand. You're screwed either way (save for the two times Villain folds, obviously) so a preflop shove is the right play against limps from his player type.
He's obviously not great at folding paint hands before the flop, nor is he great at releasing top-solid. I like raising these early position limps because they're more fish than fishy with my experience, if you catch my drift. They signal to me that a player doesn't know how to play the hand, which equates to either the hand being weak, or the player being a part-time dipshit in addition to his (or her) being an armchair Internet pro.
Raise these plays with these hands more and you'll likely get more folds. Just like your signature says: assume these limps suck at poker until proven otherwise.

With 15 BB alot 33% of players are going to play KJ ...
If he moved in with it ... And you called same outcome ... There are so many different ways to play AQ. That's why it's the hand so many people disagree about?

What's this have to do with anything?
It's pretty simple: a pre-flop shove gets KJo to fold eight times in ten. This is just another story of a misplayed hand. Indemnify your stake in the future by shoving in this spot, if you feel the need to.

Theres more than just villian to act preflop.... AQs is indeed a very strong hand 7 handed but we do have 2 guys behind left to act. I have also seen more than my fair share of guys limp huge pockets like that looking for someone to shove on them. I like his raise.... I think it accomplishes most we want it too - he shoves its probably a big pocket and we can decide then, he calls - we can see a flop and react on it knowing hes probably not super strong, he folds we take it down.
A shove has its merits, but we arent a huggggggge fav against KJ and if he is slowplaying a monster we are straight boned. If someone behind calls we are probably in seriously bad shape as well....
Flop I prefer a check, then unimproved he probably leads into us and we have options to save ourselves - beaten but still with some chips. He might have just checked this one down too.... He called a shove with KJo... you easily could have had him beat on that flop but he called anyway, yes this is villian specific but not sure a shove preflop changes anything that happened.

I don't think the fact that villain folds out KJ here justifies going broke to better hands PF holding AQ. He could have played this hand without going broke. He just didn't. in any rate you get virtually no value shoving PF and probably only get looked up as a flip or worse.

I was responding to the comment that AQ is a hand people disagree about. It can be a trouble hand, despite being a strong holding.
Sorry, I should have quoted it in my response. I was not continuing the strategy discussion.

What is it that Doyle says? "Never go broke with a hand with a Queen in it." Not really great strategy to over generalize like that but you can see his point. So Suzan I got your point about AQ and the WPT eliminations.

Tanah Lot tourist attraction is no longer bizarre to foreign and domestic tourists. Other than offering a magnificent sunset, the existing temples also exude a strong spiritual aura, that's why more and more tourists coming to see them. So do not be surprised, if the tourist attraction located at Beraban village, Kediri - Tabanan or about 13 km from Tabanan town and about 20 km north of Denpasar is always flooded with tourists.
There are 5 temples spreading across the tourist attraction becoming a perfect blend of nature and culture. Almost all the temples have their own uniqueness. Batu Mejan, for instance, is a temple situated about 100 meters west of Batu Bolong Temple. Hindu community in Bali knows the Batu Mejan Temple as Beji Temple. Beji is a sacred place to get holy spring for Hindu ceremony.
Interestingly, local villagers have confidence that Batu Mejan Temple is sanctum to invoke forgiveness of God through holy water. Started by delivering an oblation, the procession is resumed with invoking holy water to get rid of evil natures. "We strongly believe the deity venerated in Batu Mejan Temple has bestowed us, the family and all the people of Bali with a safety," said Wayan Sudarpa, a resident of Tabanan who was conducting a purificatory rite.

Liberal NYC was even crazier for Obama than we could have imagined
1/10/2013Looks like there's something to that idea of the New York City liberal: President Obama claimed a record 81 percent of the vote there, topping a 114-year-old record. In fact, a final tally of Obama's score over challenger Mitt Romney is the highest since the advent of the modern-day city in 1898, when its five boroughs were consolidated. Obama improved on his 2008 showing, when he won 79 percent of the vote. The vote wasn't uniform from borough to borough: Obama took a whopping 91 percent of the vote in the Bronx, while comparably conservative Staten Island only provided a 51 percent return. [Source]

Dear Weary Mom,
Yesterday I was talking on the phone to a friend, and I found myself talking louder and louder and louder. I realized that my three-year-old was in major melt-down mode, and since my husband was dealing with her, my mind automatically blocked her out. But my voice didn't. My voice rose in the clamor.
If you're a weary mom like me, you get accustomed to the noise, to the cries, to the busyness of everyday life. It almost becomes normal to wake up on the run and to keep going until those sweet little dears drift off to dreamland. Raising our voice becomes normal. This doesn't mean raising it in anger (or at least it doesn't mostly mean that) but just raising it to make sure we're heard.
Harder, though, is becoming quiet. I don't know about you, but before my three little ones are awake—or during nap time—is truly the only time quiet can be found. But today I found it. I made sure I sat and opened up God's Word, and I was reminded of a few things. They are things I needed to hear, but also things I would have missed out on if I hadn't forced myself to be still.
"And lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age" (Matt. 28:20).
And to quote Henry Blackaby in my morning reading:
"A lost world depends on the vital relationship of the people of God with their God. To lose this closeness with God is to lose our significance in our world."
I hope you don't mind, Henry, but I'm going to "Mommy-phrase" this quote: "Our kids, who greatly need Jesus in their lives, depend on the vital relationship of their Mommy—a daughter of God—with her God. For Mommy to lose this closeness with God is for her to lose her significance in her home."
Yes, I'm significant as I wipe noses, rears, and countertops (not with the same wipe). I'm significant when I kiss away boo-boos, worries, and fears, but my greatest significance comes when I point my kids to Jesus. When I model for them what a real, active, thriving, loving, faith-filled relationship with Jesus is all about.
Weary Mom? Turn to Jesus. Fight for quiet time, and remember that "lo, He is with you always." Jesus is there in the clamor, and He doesn't mind if you have to raise your voice a little to talk to Him. But He always wants to talk to you, too. Just make sure you get to a place where your mind is stilled and quiet enough to listen.

QSM Draft Final Version 5.0 (PDF)
The Department of Defense (DoD) Environmental Data Quality Workgroup (EDQW) and the Department of Energy (DOE) Consolidated Audit Program (DOECAP) Operations Team developed this manual called the DoD/DOE Quality Systems Manual (QSM) for Environmental Laboratories. The QSM provides baseline requirements for the establishment and management of quality systems for laboratories performing analytical testing services for the DoD and the DOE.
DoD/DOE Consolidated Quality Systems Manual (QSM) for Environmental Laboratories Version 5.0 Training
The CLUIN Internet Seminar titled "DoD/DOE Consolidated Quality Systems Manual (QSM) for Environmental Laboratories Version 5.0 Training" delivered on April 23, 2013 is now available for free download and replay at: http://www.clu-in.org/live/archive . Please feel free to share this archive with anyone who will find it valuable.
EDQW Cancel's 2013 EMDQ
Due to the current budgetary challenges faced by the Federal government, the DoD Environmental Data Quality Workgroup (EDQW) will be unable to support the DoD Environmental Monitoring and Data Quality Workshop
(EMDQ) in 2013. Although the annual workshop has been a highly successful forum for the exchange of information related to improving processes and reducing costs incurred by DoD for environmental cleanup and compliance programs, the current climate and uncertainty related to spending in the Department of Defense will not allow us to proceed this year.
The annual EMDQ Workshop has served as a key component of the EDQW's oversight and management of the DoD Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (ELAP). Even though we will not be holding the workshop this year, we remain committed to supporting the widespread dissemination of information related to ELAP. To accomplish this task we plan on offering webinars addressing outreach and training designed to promote and continually improve the DoD ELAP. Information about these webinars will be disseminated via email and posted on the DoD EDQW DENIX website https://www.denix.osd.mil/edqw/
We apologize for any inconvenience the cancellation of this year's workshop may have caused and hope to have an EMDQ in 2014.

The Department of Defense Quality Systems Manual (QSM) for Environmental Laboratories Version 4.2 (PDF)
The Department of Defense Quality Systems Manual (QSM) for Environmental Laboratories, provides implementation guidance on the establishment and management of quality systems for environmental testing laboratories that intend to perform work for DoD. This guidance is based on the National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Conferences (NELAC) Quality System requirements, which is consistent with ISO/IEC 17025, provides implementation clarification and expectations for DoD environmental programs. It is designed to serve as a standard reference for DoD representatives from all Components who design, implement, and oversee contracts with environmental testing laboratories.

The president of a local youth football league and his wife were arrested on child pornography charges on Friday.
Bernalillo County deputies said they arrested Fred Gonzales, 42, and Carey Gonzales, 36 on Friday after finding child porn images on their computer. Investigators said both admitted to viewing the images.
Fredrick is the current elected YAFL president for the Albuquerque District and his wife Carey works as a teacher's assistant at Montezuma Elementary School.
Both face charges of manufacturing and distribution of child porn, according to the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office.
On Friday evening, members of the YAFL gathered for an emergency meeting at the league's headquarters in northeast Albuquerque. Boardmember Joe Burke said the arrest came out of the left field.
"We're shocked," Burke said. "It's hard to put together words right now."
The league has lawyered up and is in full damage control, taking down Gonzales' bio off its website and has even called a locksmith to change the locks on the league's building.
Meanwhile, the couple's next-door neighbor, who asked to be called Anna, said she never sensed anything out of the ordinary from the couple, who are parents to a son and a daughter.
"They were the best of neighbors. I've only been here a year, (but) they were the best of neighbors," said Anna.
Neighbor Michael Parks watched as police officers took out bags of evidence from the Gonzales' home, including personal computers and external hard drives.

One Off the Ol' Bucket List!
I'm very happy to say today that I can cross one more thing off my bucket list...
One of my cards landed on the cover! :o)
This is Paper Crafts magazine's March/April 2011 issue [Image courtesy of Paper Crafts magazine, of course!] -- I haven't seen the issue in-person yet, but I'm so excited for the day it arrives in the mail!!
Here's a closer look at my card...
*Jazz hands!*
What the picture doesn't really show is that the cloud paper is shimmery!
ETA: Thanks for the super-kind comments, folks!! :o) To answer a question left for me, yes indeedy, the stamps are from Papertrey's Up, Up & Away stamp set! I hope they'll have it back in stock soon for those who have it on their wish list!
It's a little difficult to see in the picture, but the patterned balloons were attached over the white cardstock ones with dimensional adhesive. Also, the largest hot air balloon was attached to the card with two layers of dimensional adhesive [as opposed to the single layer for the other two] just to vary the dimension a little!
Thanks for stopping by today!! :o)

Great gravy- thats one cute card Chan! Love it! The shimmer detail is a perfect touch, congrats on the pub. Are those Papertrey Ink Up, Up & Away balloons? I'm itching to get my paws on that set but it's out of stock every time I look. Keep trying I guess... ;)

Tucked in the heart of Golden Gate Park, the Japanese Tea Garden epitomizes the term urban retreat. And aside from the serene sighing from fellow visitors, the quiet escape promises only the sounds of a trickling waterfall.
Though few people in San Francisco would probably remember the California Midwinter International Exposition of 1894, it did leave one of the cities' most enduring legacies – the Japanese Tea Garden. Housed in its original location in Golden Gate Park, the 106-year-old garden is a portal to Japanese tradition of a bygone era.
Wanderers and romantics alike visit the gardens to rediscover their Zen amongst the pagodas, ponds, and winding pathways. And forever elegant in its simplicity, it's an escape steeped in history – just like its tea. Paying homage to traditional tea gardens across the pond, this San Franciscan escape serves sencha tea in a meditative house overlooking the waters.

Eastern Pike's first trip to the State Volleyball Final Four would have been memorable enough, but a five set loss to Kidron Central Christian might be something that will be hard to swallow for a while.
After dropping the first set 25-21, the Eagles came back to win the next two sets 25-21, 25-18 for a 2-1 set lead. They were also up 21-20 in Set 4, but Central Christian rallied for a 25-23 win to send it to the fifth and deciding set to 15.
That spelled trouble from the outset for Eastern, falling behind by scores of 7-3 and later 10-4. Eastern battled back, trailing 13-10, they tied it at 13-13 and that is where the see-saw went crazy.
Central Christian would take one point leads from that point on, only to see the Eagles tie the score. But, with the score even at 15-15, CC would score the last two points for a 17-15 win and the match victory at 3-2.
Eastern Pike senior Miranda Clark led their offense with 22 kills, followed by freshman Carson Roney with 14 kills, junior Bailey Helton added 12 and senior Chandler Brown added 11 kills and 21 digs.
The Eagles were hurt by unforced errors, committing 42 for the match, while Central Christian had 32 and fired 11 serving aces at Eastern.
Eastern Pike concludes their history-making state tournament run as champs of the SOC, sectional, district and regional champion and a (27-1) record under Coach Janet Day.

[...] high-tech gizmos will we see in the kitchens of the future? IKEA may have the answers. The Swedish superstore recently drew up a concept kitchen for the year 2040, [...]
February 5, 2009 at 11:01 pm
Hey, thanks for this post! We're pointing to it in a piece over on Super Eco, and it's reminded me to look into just what is IN all that IKEA furniture from the standpoint of offgassing etc.
February 1, 2009 at 6:18 am
ESS, Hold your horses buddy. I totally agree that Ikea's PR is probably better than their environment policy. In fact as their products are mainly short life cycle products we all are probably better of buying durable stuff instead of stuff at Ikea.
BUT: Being a Dutch law student I can tell you that Ikea IS paying taxes. Before you say stuff like the stuff you said, you should probably have tried to learn a bit more about Dutch Tax Law (as Ikea is officialy a Dutch company). The Dutch law says that EVEN charitable organizations should pay taxes when they enter a merket in which they compete with the normal actors. So shouting that they do not pay any taxes is rather ignorant and lacks complete nuance.
Besides even my statement needs nuance, as I understand it, Ikea is divided up in many many different companies all of which are taxed. Proabbaly the holding is not taxed, but the holding WILL have to pay taxes over the income of their shares, and again, even if the holding is a charity, then still they are competitors with normal legal entities and their turnovers WILL be taxed.
Just thought I should mention that.
January 30, 2009 at 1:12 pm
IKEA does a lot to keep up a good PR face, with all of these environmentally friendly policies, and even make relatively high quality products for the price. People are often left wondering, "if IKEA can do it, why can't other companies?" The simple answer is:
IKEA is listed as a non-profit organization with the stated mission (paraphrased) to provide healthy living environments to all people around the world. They do not pay any taxes because of this classification and the owner of IKEA is at times the richest man alive. Sustainability means more than simply awareness of the natural environment, it means to be aware of the consequences of our actions on all aspects of our society. By robbing governments of their rightful taxes, IKEA is picking out of the pot funds that could be invested in new technologies, public schools, etc.
IKEA may be mindful of the environment, but it is not sustainable.
January 29, 2009 at 6:23 pm
Some great detail here, thanks Inhabitat. It is great to see large corporations focus on social responsibility and get a lot of things right. But part of me thinks that despite the big CSR play, some part of IKEA's business model is simply incompatible with a sustainable world.
IKEA wants to limit its use of raw materials like wood a…stiff card is sandwiched between thin sheets of wood, called board-on-frame… and solid wood will be phased out.
Let's think about this for a minute. IKEA are going to phase out real wood, a material that lasts centuries, and replace it with cardboard compound. Whilst this may be recyclable my children aren't likely to be left it in my will or likely to be buying it from a used furniture dealer in 50 years time. IKEA are the Topshop of the furniture, McFlatpack. Surely it's better to turn a tree into table form today and use it for a couple of hundred years than produce cardboard and mold it into disposable furniture once per decade. It's time we saw leadership from IKEA in this area but that may simply too much against their grain.
January 29, 2009 at 4:51 pm
I enjoy re-using ikea wood in other projects once my original furniture has met the end of its usefulness. Will board-on-frame be as re-usable as previous materials?

Product Backstory
Found on the desert planet Tatooine, dewbacks are large lizards used by the locals as mounts and beasts of burden. These flat-toothed creatures can be found hauling goods for merchants or moisture farmers, pulling Podracer parts to starting grids, or serving stormtrooper patrols assigned to the planet's Imperial garrison. A dewback is able to withstand the heat and dust that often leads to mechanical breakdown in modern high-tech conveyances.Product Reviews
This is a large piece akin to the Speeder Bike and Scout from a few years ago... albeit at a smaller scale. I'd only wonder if it was at the same scale, nobody would have a place to display it... but, once again, another great Star Wars assemblage.

I had a tequila sunrise in a bowling alley for brunch.
This movie:
Fresh basil is growing in the garden.
My daughter danced with me and didn't want to let go.A grandmother took a broken piano from my garage; when it's fixed she'll teach her neighbor children how to play.
There is chocolate in a cigar ashtray shaped like a cat.
Brian Jay Stanley wrote an essay from which I want to quote every line, notably, "Each person is a misfit and minority in the zoo of humanity. No one is out of place, because everyone is."
I will go to sleep tonight knowing the ground is wet, the grass is deep Wisconsin green, and my children have lived this long without heartbreak.
For thirty-seven years I have not worked hard enough, but I'll start again tomorrow and again tomorrow after.
There is music. There is always music.

Complete Jack Survives (hardcover)
Book (Item 593740) Buenaventura Press, Early 80s — Condition: New Copy
The complete work of one of our favorite characters from the Raw generation of comix – Jerry Moriarty's Jack Survives – an enduring feature that comes across beautifully in this oversized, hardcover volume! As Chris Ware points out in his introduction, there's a simplicity here that's startling – especially given the excesses of the underground generation that came before – just spare, basic images – but still filled with a richness that comes from Moriarty's painterly technique – none of the too-cold graphics of some of the other 80s cartoonists. There's a sense of layering that really opens up the simple stories – almost the "wrinkles" of Jack's age, a kind of "life goes on" quality that really illuminates the moments captured within. The book features some color paintings in addition to the black and white cartoons – and is huge, almost two feet high by one foot wide! © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

In Case You Haven't Heard, Recovery From Autism is Possible
That little flash scared me. My daughter's behavior was insane. I was at my limit. We were in serious trouble, and we needed to figure out what was wrong.
Before we started bio-med therapies, I had no idea the child who had become my nightmare would one day again be my joy, but she is. She is my joy! She has been steadily recovering and she feels better. Because she feels better, who she really is can shine. Who she really is, is the most loving, gentle, sweet, innocent, pure, tender-hearted person you can imagine. Who she really is was not visible when her body was polluted and she felt lousy.
Riley is one of many children recovering to varying degrees, from autism.
Baxter, (the handsome little guy in the photo above) is one who has gone all the way. I don't know his mom, and don't know if she ever went through such a "dark night of the soul," but I suspect, most parents of kids on the spectrum have had their desperate moments.
This is for any parent who is in that place now.
Watch Baxter here.
Take strength in his story.
There is light at the end of the tunnel.
19 comments:
The creator of Baxter's movie sent me the link to your blog. Thank you so much for sharing his story of hope! I am often dismayed to read and hear of "professionals" saying his story instills FALSE HOPE for parents. It always makes me internally question; but FALSE PESSIMISM is acceptable? Why is ok for a "professional" to tell me he may never talk or be potty trained? Why arent' they chastied for their incorrect crystal ball view? I think RESPONSIBLE HOPE is what many of parents of children with autism need. And yes, I had many dark days. Days of sadness. Days of regret. Days and nights of fear. Its because of his progress and those hard days and nights that we share his story for others. Thank you so much for caring. Best wishes for continued health and happiness for your daughter.

Wow. What an impressive family. Nice link.
- Kathryn said...
We are in the thick of it now, Michelle, with really awful symptoms, not knowing if we are now going backwards...I know the video of Baxter; I think it was his mom that got me to DAN! info to begin with. I must stay positive and I need to hear these stories. I thank you for your honesty because so many of us think that if we just died we could get some rest. A dark thought indeed, but so common. All we want is relief for our son and ourselves.

Actually 40% of all autistic children with speech delays end up talking fluently with any kind of good early intervention. Only 14% do not talk by age 9 and some of those are wrongly labeled as mentally retarded.
Your post made me kind of sad.
What if your joy read what you wrote? Wouldn't it hurt her feelings? - 4:10 PM

My child was very verbal from the start. Never lost speech, AND she benefited tremendously from bio-med.
We did tons of interventions but our lives went from crises to the opposite, very quickly with the use of methyl B-12
and carefully monitored chelation.
She used to scream all day, every day. Perhaps there are other parents, better than us, who can deal with that for months and years on end, but we were hanging on by a thread.
I hope by sharing my truth, I will empower other parents to get help if they need it and empower my daughter to get help when she needs it, rather than pretend not to feel what she really feels and then explode at a later date.
I hope Riley will be proud of how hard she AND her parents worked to help her feel better. Every family has to make choices for themselves, and I don't judge other parents who do it differently, but we will never sugar coat the reality of autism as we experience it.
Our daughter knows our absolute love for her, and our gratitude to her for all she has given us,(from the worst of times came the best of times and we owe it to her).
We've got nothing to defend and nothing to hide. - 8:27 PM

this is a brand new video. Just placed online a few days ago.
iportion..I often try to implore everyone's experience with autism is different. While you may disagree with how someone else manages their child's autism ... talking about hope and better health and improvement IS an option. And one many feel good about.
I just came back from a conference where a fellow mom of a child that responded very well to biomed and traditional therapies asked his mother... (this is paraphrased) "would my life or I have been different if I didnt have autism.?" His astute mother said he was still the same guy inside...do YOU think your life would've been different without autism? would you change it? His reply? He wouldnt. he said he knew how it felt to be made fun of for being different and that maybe autism taught him how bad that felt, and THAT made him a better person. A lesson he would never want to undo.
We, that want to recover our kids don't want to CHANGE them. As per the beauty of this story above. We want them happy and healthy and out of pain, and just simply who they are...to the best of their ability. No different dream for any other parent of an NT kid or otherwise.
warmly with kind regard

Add me to the group who have had to walk away for a moment to find a quiet place and scream my head off about hating effing Autism while holding an imaginary gun to my head. No, it's not like that anymore, thank God, but I won't pretend dealing with Hutton's Autism has been a walk in the park, full of pleasantness at every moment. I have never done the following: "Oh look, Sweetie, you took off your diaper, and smeared poop everywhere! I'm learning so much about accepting differences as I clean this disgusting mess up!" No, that was one of the moments where I went into the garage to scream and hit things for a few minutes, then went back inside to clean up a mess. (This reminds me how thankful I am that Hutton is fully potty trained now. Hallelujah!) It's the notion that Hutton can recover that keeps me going, and considering how much of a cynical pessimist I am about everything else, that says a lot about the "false hope" that I have.

So happy for you, Riley, and your family :-)

Thank you
I just disagree with what we say around disabled children not that people don't have the right to be frustrated with schools or your children's pain
it's just I've seen people never get past it even though their child is emerging but they just can't see it.
I have a slight cognitive delay not autism but I was verbally abused by a lot of people in my life even though I am kind but clumsy person. I know how words can have a lasting effect on people.
The 40% was supposed to mean the people who tell evertyone there is no hope but there is. I like to think of it as emerging not being cured or fixed. - 11:30 PM

My "joy" knows that there were many times I thought the men in white coats were coming for me with a straight jacket. We laugh about that now. Humor = tragedy plus time.
Humor plus love = one helluva parent.
From one helluva parent to another. - 1:26 AM

Before I read the comments I just wanted to thank you so dearly for articulating the truth of your experience. I want to know more, in detail, about that journey and where it took you.
After reading the comments, I want to know it even more.
Thank you for your strong spirit, your tender love and how all the 'crisis' moves through your will to express what's real. - 1:41 AM

Michelle, my friend Julia says, "Thank you."
You are so cool.
And I fear more for the kids who find out their parents did nothing but ridicule other parents who took charge while allowing their own children to remain at the status quo. Don't you? Can you imagine being a bright child with ASD and learning there were treatments but your Mom and Dad refused to even acknowledge them? Tragic.
- Michelle O'Neil said...
Thanks for clearing that up Iportion, you do have a different perspective coming from personal experience.
We're all just doing what we think is right. Just doing our best. - 8:23 AM
- Kim Stagliano said...
Hi, iportion - I also think your clarification is really helpful. Thank you for helping me to understand too.

michelle - my son was traumatized by his dad's sudden and complete disappearance from his life. it was an ugly divorce and my ex is a terrible human being.
for years after my son had fits of rage and sadness. I went from place to place looking for help for him and me. this was 20+ years ago and the overall feeling was punish him, control him. I was always made to feel (but I refused!) that I was a bad parent for wanting him to speak his feelings and to get better. Sometimes I needed to vent and I'll never forget when a "friend" told me that "maybe you're both crazy"
I admire your ability to share your feelings. - 9:22 AM

Glad to learn the end of the tunnel is drawing ever so near. The best to you all.
Sometimes it feels as though this tunnel is spinning so fast that I don't know which way to walk to get to that light :)
I know that Adam' body is getting better. I know that his body does indeed need to get better, and that as it does he will emerge.
iportion you are a gentle soul. Thank you for caring about our kid's hearts. - 7:15 PM

I also ask why is FALSE PESSIMISM acceptable.
No one normal wants their children in pain which is why most Autistic children scream.
I like the word emergence, emerging from the pain, but I can't judge parents or child's pain. - 10:56 PM
