CANGRANDS" W5 program"Author: Betty
Feb 21
Ask Lindsay Moir:
Friday, February 22, 2008
Question & Answer:
Many of you will already know of my interest in "Grandparent Groups" and how they can provide a powerful resource to families of exceptional children. I have attended one such group several times at the Southwest Autism Research and Resource Center in Phoenix Arizona www.autismcenter.
Inspired by this group, I am working with Autism Ontario's London Chapter to begin such a group here. If we are successful, it could serve as a model to educate and utilize grandparents across the province, for any exceptionality. I will give you time-to-time updates on our progress.
Last summer I was invited to do a workshop at Keswick, Ontario for the CANGRANDS group. Before, during and after my presentation I had the opportunity to interact with these incredible people. To learn more about CANGRANDS visit their website (www.cangrands.
Did you know that more than 55,000 Ontario children, many with special needs' are being raised by kinship "parents" — usually a grandma living on a pension. Their own children are often unable to care for these young kids due to alcohol, drugs or mental health issues, and the grandparents step in to look after them, with minimal government support.
Last night, the TV program W5 ran an excellent show called "Parents Again" which outlined the plight of these grandparents … and their joy and committment to their grandchildren. You can see this program in its entireity by clicking on "Parents Again" Part 1 & 2 at www.ctv.ca/W5 . The show really captures the angst and stress of raising exceptional children … with the added twist that the parenting is being done by seniors.
I realy think that this video should be required viewing for all of us involved in the special education field, as well as every Community College student in the Human Services Division… maybe even our MPPs?
On a positive note, the Ontario government has recently changed the laws and grandparents can be eligible for more support, on a more consistent basis. The Minister has now promised that they will not have to relinquish custody of their grandchild in order to became eligible for a funding review — still a few wrinkles to be ironed out? … but progress none the less!
I have become increasingly aware of how many grandparents attend my workshops across the province, either to support the Mom or Dad by attending with them, or because they are actively involved in the raising of an exceptional grandchild. I sense they are seeking a role, and have the time, life experience and distance from the day-to-day challenges of raising a special needs child, to become a key piece of the puzzle.
Attention educators, community professionals, legislators — THE GRANDPARENTS ARE COMING!! THE GRANDPARENTS ARE COMING!! — and they are a force to be reckoned with!

This gorgeous fashion illustration is not one of my own, its by illustrator David Downton and adorns the cover of 100 Years of Fashion Illustration which I just so happen to receive as a gift from a dear friend two days ago and I'm obsessed! The book is full of stunning inspiration from iconic fashion illustrators including Downton, René Gruau, Mats Gustafson, Ruben Toledo and even my former professors Steven Stipelman and Gladys Perint Palmer! I've only perused the book so far but this weekend I plan to dive in and soak it all up because this one's a treasure. (Thank you Jamie!!!) Its so important to stay inspired both in life and work and I hope this year I can inspire some of you here on Fabulous Doodles.

Philip Sidney, 1554-1586
Biographical note
Poet and romancist, son of Sir Henry Sidney, Deputy of Ireland, and Pres. of Wales, born at the family seat of Penshurst, and educated at Shrewsbury School and Oxford. He was at the French Court on the fateful August 24, 1572 — the massacre of St. Bartholomew — but left Paris soon thereafter and went to Germany and Italy. In 1576 he was with his father in Ireland, and the next year went on missions to the Elector Palatine and the Emperor Rudolf II. When his father's Irish policy was called in question, he wrote an able defence of it. He became the friend of Spenser, who dedicated to him his Shepherd's Calendar. In 1580 he lost the favour of the Queen by remonstrating against her proposed marriage with the Duke of Anjou. His own marriage with a daughter of Sir Francis Walsingham took place in 1583. In 1585 he was engaged in the war in the Low Countries, and met his death at Zutphen from a wound in the thigh. His death was commemorated by Spenser in his Astrophel. Sidney has always been considered as the type of English chivalry; and his extraordinary contemporary reputation rested on his personal qualities of nobility and generosity.
His writings consist of his famous pastoral romance of Arcadia, his sonnets Astrophel and Stella, and his Apologie for Poetrie, afterwards called Defence of Poesie. The Arcadia was originally written for the amusement of his sister, afterwards Countess of Pembroke, the "Sidney's sister, Pembroke's mother," of Ben Jonson. Though its interest now is chiefly historical, it enjoyed an extraordinary popularity for a century after its appearance, and had a marked influence on the immediately succeeding literature. It was written in 1580–81 but not published until 1590, and is a medley of poetical prose, full of conceits, with occasional verse interspersed. His Defence of Poesie, written in reply to Gosson, is in simple and vigorous English. Sidney also made a translation of the Psalms.
[From A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature by John W. Cousin, 1910]

So here we continue thinking out loud about possible houses in Egypt but with some Imagination as @m_tantawy likes to put it .... @m_tantawy had already taken the initiative to suggest existing places that are already functioning and can rented directly with minimal site developments efforts. Here we can brainstorm about places that are creative and need to be worked on to get them to reality....
I will start with my second favorite spot (after my bed) in Hurghada. The site is a semi-abandoned complex of a former restraunt (that was really good) and some chalets overlooking an abandoned beach. So my idea is the house can consist of two chalets for residents (males and females) and the restaurant for the workplace.
Here are some photos from google earth
the restraunt building
the chalets
one or two chalets are already rented to a healthcare company and another business so I guess it's not impossible to rent them (they need some refurbishment though)
The site from the sea-side
the facade of the restaurant
the red polygon marks the restaurant and the yellow marks five or six chalets across the street. the beach over there is abandoned, rumors say it was sold for an investor but till now people go there as it's the only "free" entry beach in Hurghada (through the broken gate). I don't know why it's abandoned for years now... it was a landmark during Hurghada golden years of tourism...
Thoughts and other ideas are welcome
@hazem كل دا في الغردقة و إنتا نايم يا أستاذ
Thank you Heba for sharing and supporting the idea ! I don't know why but you raised the idea for me to be squatter on this place, this reminds me with the examples that Failure Architecture always mentioning about the neglected spaces that has be squatted by people . Felfela is a really good start for the brainstorming . I will be in Hurghada next week isA and I will take some photos for you >> If you have any questions i can include them on my site visit ..
I will be in Hurghada next week isA and I will take some photos for you >>
that would be great because I haven't been there for a while so we need updates .... and btw not far from there is another abandoned gem ... Sheraton hotel the first hotel in Redsea and Hurghada ... the main street in Hurghada is named after it because it was standing alone in the desert before Hurghada became an attractive tourist destination ... it's nice walking there because it's one of the few remaining spots on Hurghada coast that is not hidden behind resort facades... enjoy the sea view
Heba and the other edgeryders form Egypt: amazing initiative!! I'd love to see an Egyptian Reef / OpenVillage house come up, and am really curious what identity and sustainability plan ("business model") it will get. Let us know how the Edgeryders company and community can assist!
Second Matthias. I am super-interested in following up with you guys and comparing notes. But would you personally, @Heba and @m_tantawy, move on into an Open Village-style dwelling?
yeaa sure , from what i heard from @hazem the open village style can be copied in many spots. actually i liked your documentation about How The Reef might work in Brussels and i think we would need something solid like this to start the Egyptian Reef
why wouldn't I? ... It sounds like a good company and a constant inspiration and learning experience since you don't know what the community would bring tomorrow .... It also depends on the practical arrangement .... since I imagine I wouldn't have a 9 to 5 job but still need to earn money out of whatever I do and that needs to plan your residency based on your work
Well, The Reef is an arrangement to spend less, not to earn more. Here in Brussels we can live better for less money, because we share the space with each other and with a small company (Edgeryders itself). Yes, we still need to earn a living. We find it may be a little easier with the right kind of mix in the house.
Are you going to be in Brussels next month? I really want to do a spreadsheet session to work out the sustainability model of Reef-type arrangements in different cities, neighbourhoods, sizes...
@heba do you know how we can use the space, who should we talk to ? to get access to the space any agreement to make to use with low rent and offer some public facilities and revitalize this
I don't have practical information at the moment ya @hazem hard to get from here.... But i will ask if someone in Hurghada can investigate that
Hi @Heba so if you have a 9 to 5 job or wish to hold on to a stable income I can see that the simplest step could be to try co living with others: paying rent (is that something you do anyway nowadays?) but living with not just anyone, but like minded people with whom you can use the free time to work together on stuff you want to do anyway. In Brussels we also don't do more hands on projects because me, Alberto, Nadia are all involved in edgeryders consultancy - which is online and already sustainable - able to cover for us partially, as Alberto mentioned. So we didn't join to work on a set of smaller projects.
@Heba I am wondering if you considered Dahab in Sinai at all. Many of my friends in Cairo who have startups are interested in moving there, and having visited that place a couple of times I found it to be incredibly charming and inspiring.
yah I think also @jaycousins is up to something in Egypt?
I know about this exodus to Dahab .... Unfortunately I haven't been there but I got many positive reviews from my friends ... and yes it might be interesting to have a socially responsible movement starting there... I feel like the current movement is going towards privatization and gentrification
Very nice, but why haven't you considered areas such as October and Sheikh Zayed? 1- There are 6 private and one governmental (Faculty of Engineering, Cairo University), in the area. 2- It's central between Cairo (~30 min) , Alexandria (2 hr), Fayoum (1hr) , Bahareya (4hr) Guiza is a large governorate!3- Population's density is low compared to other cites, areas, districts in Egypt 4- There are also communities of refugees, for those who work with refugees. 5- We can rent a town house or villa or two apt with a garden, and cultivate leaf vegetables, potato, tomato among other. Plants give hope 6- Services are available, hospital, supermarket,etcThis is based on my understanding that the Reef is an urban space.
good idea @amiridina actually new cities in Egypt make a good start .... it's relatively easy to get properties there ... however the other new cities are even cheaper .... we have 40 new cities most of them are abandoned except the ones around Cairo (that includes Zayed and October cities) because of the centralization model and the upscale Real-estate business the question is should we take advantage of the perks of the centralized services around cairo or should we go out and create our own model that adds a value to another place?
Dahab in Sinai check this Islam , I think we need more examples out side Cairo right now for similar initiatives , right @Heba?
I think relative to many examples outside Cairo Dahab \ Newibaa still economy friendly examples until now ,the problem with sini more ( political \ institutional ) also ( the tunnel + little bit far form Cairo + Alex too )
generally I am with the idea of getting outside Cairo. but the problem with Sinai is it is not stable politically and the situation is escalating rapidly. Plus having the Tunnel as a main access, I usually cancel the idea because of the road ( checkpoints + tunnel) but on the other hand Dahab is surviving somehow. ( till now Dahab is working but I am not sure what will happen in the coming year or two )
I think realistically Fayoum, hurghada, could work...or even Menia, aswan ( i have no idea if this is possible in upper Egypt or not )
You were sadly prophetic about Sinai, my friend...

There are several types of companies that are facing a particular risk because of the increase in medical malpractice cases. Doctors are of course the obvious answer. They may be accused of malpractice more often because of the increased number of new treatments that have been introduced in just the last few years.
However, doctors are not the only ones who need to be concerned about rising medical malpractice rates. So do medical manufacturing companies that are designing the treatments and constructing the devices that are used for them. When investing, it may be safer to choose medical device stocks that are based in technologies that have been stable and safe for a longer period of time.
There has also been a notable increase in the amount of law firms advertising their services online and elsewhere. Lawyers may be choosing to emphasize medical malpractice law in their own firms as a result of the increased payout amounts. Certainly, they are targeting patients more directly with advertising for this type of representation. An increase in the amount of medical malpractice suits may mean that there is room for more law firms to operate competitively.

Because of everything that has been going on, between papers and exams, I have not been planning any of my outfits. I have been living in very simple ensembles that are comprised of a basic top, a pair of jeans and a cardigan. I've been basically doing the grab, wear and go routine each morning. I took an accounting exam last night and right after, I felt so dumb. Like my brain was put in a dehydrating machine and had become useless. I guess not having enough sleep does that to you.
I don't really have much to say but I am so happy it's already Wednesday but I am also a little sad that it's only Wednesday. That's like my glass is neither half full nor half empty. LOL So indifferent right now, sorry.

What's for dinner tonight?
Hi friends. So I must admit, lately I have not been in the cooking mood. Not sure why. . just sort of got myself into a cooking funk. So when I received a box with Bella Sun Luci's sun dried tomato's in the mail the other day I just didn't have it in me to come up with a fabulous meal for all of you to try.
But of course, I didn't want to disappoint.
Luckily for me, and you, I have a wonderful best friend who is always happy to step in and help me out when I need her. She is an amazing, home-cooking momma genius and she put together this amazing meal for us to try. Her "other" job is blogging over at Thrifty Treasures if you want to take a peek.
Here is what's for dinner tonight.
Chicken and Sun Dried Tomato Stuffed Shells
using Bella Sun Luci Sun Dried Tomato's
1- 12 oz jumbo shells (I only use half the box)
1 lb cooked chicken
8 oz mushrooms
8-10 Bella Sun Luci sun dried tomatoes
2 cloves of garlic
2 tsp parsley
2 tsp basil
2 Tbsp Olive oil
1 egg
2 jars of pasta sauce or equivalent home made sauce
Cook shells; preheat oven to 350
In a food processor, process mushrooms, tomatoes, and garlic. Blend until finely chopped. In skillet on medium heat, cook and stir mushroom mixture, parsley, and basil in oil until tender. cool. Stir in chicken and egg. Stuff into shells. Spread some sauce onto the bottom of a 15×9 baking dish. Arrange shells and spoon remaining sauce over shells. Cover and bake 30 minutes. Serve with grated parmesan cheese.
Looks Delish!
Bella Sun Luci also sent me a jar of already made bruschetta, which I did put on baguettes all by myself and enjoyed. 🙂 It was Fan-tastic!
Please send well wishes that I will get my spunk back. Really though, I think the sun took it when it left us here in Michigan with this dreary snow. So if you're living somewhere that is still warm, then please send some sun back to me. 🙂
Today's question is: What are you having for dinner tonight?
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

In a meeting with my Professional Development Manager this week, I was reflecting on my year. She asked the question, 'Now that you've been here, are you more or less excited or more or less stressed when you consider finishing University?'
I think back to securing my placement. Stressful. For the fear of being sent to the last place on Earth you wanted to be, doing the worst job you could imagine, you just HAD to find a placement. Whilst keeping on top of everything else of course. So when you spend 3 days writing an application, submit it and receive an automatically generated email within 2 minutes of pressing the button, your heart kind of sinks. Especially knowing, you've got to go through it all over again.
Will looking for a grad job be exactly the same?
I was having coffee with my Mum and I was talking about some options I was considering for when I complete my degree. She exclaimed, 'Isn't this just so exciting?!' The idea of just starting out, with so many paths in front of you made my mum green with envy. 'You have the chance to do exactly what you want to.'
Is she right? So why don't we feel excited?
Maybe we've become cynical; because there's so much competition we'll never get a job and we'll be paying off out student loans forever, and we'll never be able to afford to buy a house…
These are statements I hear a lot. I blame the media. However, none of them are fundamentally true. I've come to thinking that I got here didn't I? Why would a grad job be any different? In fact, I'm in a better position than I was before with a year's industrial work experience under my belt and a number of people I could turn to for advice or support. I also have a much clearer idea of what it is I want.
So actually, although placement/job hunting can be a stressful experience, let's start getting excited! There really is so much to look forward to.

Close to Home: Feeling betrayed by my own country
The war on terror and ISIS in particular has hit home in Santa Rosa. Its effects have shaken me and over a million Iranian Americans (and certainly other Muslim Americans) to the core. Not unlike Kristallnacht or the internment of Japanese Americans in 1942, those perceived as Muslim immigrants are becoming victims in this ill-fought war. The events that lead to Kristallnacht started with the same type of hateful ideology, except sadly this is happening today in the United States.
I have lived in this country for 38 years and managed to gain an education which has afforded me a good life. I have been married 24 years to my loving wife who happens to be a Catholic American of European heritage and have two beautiful American children and two American grandchildren. I have been a productive American citizen for decades and proudly hold an American passport, which enables me to travel freely with all the privileges afforded to Americans.
Unfortunately, due to the tragic terrorist attack in San Bernardino and hateful rhetoric of the likes of Donald Trump, the House of Representatives passed HR 158, which was also approved by the U.S. Senate and signed into law by President Barack Obama in mid-December as part of the $1.1 trillion funding bill. This law in essence robs me of my rights as a citizen based on my ethnicity.
I am heartbroken.
If this law stands, ISIS will have won a historic victory. Alienation of people like me in no way will improve our national security or make our country a better place for all its citizens. The question is, do we want an America where citizens are segregated based on their religion or national origins? Or do we commit to respecting the U.S. Constitution and the Bill Of Rights?
HR 158 alters the Visa Waiver Program, which enables citizens to travel within 38 countries including the U.S., Europe, Japan and South Korea without a visa. The bill requires that any dual citizen from Iran, Iraq, Syria or Sudan, or anyone who has traveled to these counties in the past five years, to be excluded from the Visa Waiver Program. So if my French (citizen) brother or relatives from a number of EU countries were to come to the United States, as many do routinely, they are no longer treated as European nationals and need to apply for a visa.
As these treaties are reciprocal, there will be restrictions imposed on Americans like me. In other words, I now need to apply for a visa to travel, where my wife and children will be traveling free of restrictions. I will be ushered through a different gate as a second-class citizen of the United Sates. I submit to you that if all Americans were subjected to this restriction on free travel, there would be an uproar.
I have lived my life as an exemplary citizen and a fully assimilated member of the society. I never in the past called myself an Iranian-American; just an American. I resent that I have been reminded that I am an Iranian-American. I feel as though my government is dissimilating me now. That I am on the fringe and dispensable.
What is more tragic to me on a personal level is the feeling of betrayal by my own government, demoting me to second-class status based on my country of origin and assumed religious persuasion. The assumption that I, or millions like me, are potential sleeper ISIS or al-Qaida members waiting for the right moment to strike is ludicrous. The fact that I have lived 38 of my 59 years in this country seems meaningless.

Well, I realised something obvious. Another solution would be to use up the whole pack the first time I open it. I could use that parsley spring on the one specific recipe and at the same time, whizz up some parsley pesto.
Making pesto is as easy as throwing items into a food processor. It tastes incredible over meat, fish, (veggie) pasta, and as a dip for veggies. It's like spring in a jar!
Parsley and Walnut Pesto
makes about 1 cup (250 ml)
50 g parsley leaves and stems
1/2 c (50 g) walnuts
1/2 c extra virgin olive oil
1/4 c freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 clove of garlic, minced
Combine all the ingredients in a food processor and puree well.
Store in a jar for up to week.
In a further effort to use up my parsley on time, I found a few other ways to enjoy it.
- courgette and parsley "cheese" made with gelatine (from A Squirrel in the Kitchen)
- parsley and onion salad (from a cilantro colour)
- lemon parsley cod (from Beyond the Bite)
- salmon, avocado, and rocket salad with lemon parsley dressing (from The Iron You)
What's your good idea for cooking with parsley?

I stayed at Cocoville and trained at with Bang at Dragon for a couple weeks back in 09 and can recommend it if you prefer more 1-1 than group class but my friends went to Tiger for classes and also found it to be excellent.

If anyone has any other taxi numbers can they post them, its great information and being able to book someone reliable and honest for their arrival can make the difference of starting out on the right or wrong foot.

Oh and remember, my Thailand tip for shopping and nights out, don't go in to any bar that has a closed door, they'll tell you anything to get you in but getting out will be a different matter and if a deal sounds too good to be true, then it isn't.

If it's possible to put down a deposit i'd suggest that.

Make sure you guys can run 5km without stopping before you arrive and if you want to try 2 sessions a day, go for it. I'd say more than 50% of people even ones that are fit end up not being able to do more than 8 classes a week total, but give it a shot. I'd suggest paying for just 1 class a day if you're doing a monthly package, and then paying the 300 baht per extra class when you do it.

That'll end up saving you some cash in the long run.

Also I would describe us all as average fitness with some boxing background, i think the boys are keen to go straight into 2 training sessions a day but i think that is going to destroy us, what is your opinion/experience on that?

The training isn't capped. There will always be a room within a 10 minute walk so if you want the flexibility go ahead and just show up, pay for a week first and see how you like it. Rooms are a lot cheaper if you pay by the month though.

Another option is to pay for a 10 class pass, the first few weeks you'll want to train twice a day, everyday, but trust me, it's not a good idea until you've been there for a month or two.My Fight Camphttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816682759003422453.post-24255696926848124072012-05-13T03:29:12.654+07:002012-05-13T03:29:12.654+07:00Johnny, would you say that it's entirely neces...Johnny, would you say that it's entirely necessary to book in advance with TMT in the low season? I am trying to make time to go in August. I want to remain flexible so am a little wary of booking in advance considering TMT's refund policy and my own experience in other SE Asian countries.

I know TMT don't have a cap on students but do the accommodations get fully booked in August? I tried to book with Boyd at PTT for one of his bamboo bungalows but they're full until October! Yikes!

2. Yes if you want to assure they book a room for you, so they know you are serious about coming.

3. TMT is a much bigger facility with a lot more students, very organized in terms of class schedule flow, PTT has a lot less people so classes are often more free flowing depending on who's there and the coaches.

4. Yes, at least 1 in 3 people who arrive with just a 30 day free visa, end up wanting to stay longer and wish they had did a 60 day tourist visa instead.

5. ATM's are plentiful within 1km of the gym at every 711. No one takes credit cards in Thailand, aside from airports and 5 star hotels. Changing money is done at the bank which is 2km away.

Glad you enjoyed my blog, I'm sure you'll like either PTT or TMT. My best advice is if you are under 22 years old and want to be part of the "popular, cool" group, go to TMT. If you want to be left alone and train and are okay with just 5-10 other people at the gym to hang out with, then PTT is a good choice.My Fight Camphttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-3816682759003422453.post-43305902014105708962012-01-25T10:16:01.342+07:002012-01-25T10:16:01.342+07:00Awesome thanks Johnny! A couple of questions that ...Awesome thanks Johnny! A couple of questions that I'm sure a lot of people are thinking about but don't think to ask before they go.

1) Is there laundry service at PTT? I read about something being available at TMT for a price so not sure if there was something similar.
2) Would you recommend paying up front for a month of training before you go there?
3) After having experienced the training at both gyms, is there anything that one gym had that really stood out for you that the other didn't?
4) Did you run into any visa issues while you were there? I'm going for a month but just deciding if I would need one(I'm from Vancouver).
5) Access to ATMs/currency conversion/use of credit card in that area?

I'm deciding between TMT and PTT right now. I'm sure the experience will be great either way but I've been reading a lot of good stuff about both gyms making the decision pretty difficult.

I'd love to chat with you over email about some questions and maybe meet you in person if you're there. If that sounds good, can you post your email? The plan is head to Thailand in February and do a month of training. I'm from Vancouver in Canada and am glad to hear such good remarks about the experience.

Staying well hydrated is important to the health of all creatures (humans are no exception). It is essential to kidney and bladder health. Unfortunately, because cats were originally desert creatures who gleaned most of their fluids from their food, not from drinking water, which was scarce, they did not develop the same "thirst drive" that humans and dogs did. When they are not getting enough fluids, their bodies do not trigger them to go drink some water. Instead, many cats live their lives in a state of chronic mild dehydration.
This, unfortunately, can contribute to two common health issues in cats– chronic kidney failure and urinary tract problems (bladder stones, urinary blockages). When a cat isn't drinking enough, it puts stress on his kidneys. Over time, this stress causes damage. It also causes his urine to become more concentrated than it should be. This can contribute to the formation of crystals, which can in turn become stones (sometimes impressively large!) in the bladder, or which can cause a blockage in the urethra, making the cat unable to urinate. This is a life-threatening (and expensive) emergency situation which we all just want to avoid.
So how do we get our finicky friends to drink more? There are lots of ways. Try several and see which ones work best for you and your cat.
Because cats have historically gotten most of their fluid intake from their food, switching from dry food to a canned diet is the very best way to keep your kitty hydrated. We recommend feeding at least some canned food, even if you do not want to feed it exclusively. To add even more fluids, you can mix some water in with the canned food to form a "soup". Most cats love this.
Because cats have different preferences, try leaving multiple water bowls out in different places throughout your house. Some cats prefer a wide shallow bowl (that their whiskers won't touch the sides of), so consider using a pie plate or something similar. Offer water in glass or stainless steel bowls instead of plastic, which can sometimes cause water to have a bad taste.
Be sure to clean and refill water bowls daily. Remember, cats can be so finicky! Also, consider offering filtered or distilled water– chlorinated or hard water can have a flavor that cats don't like.
You can consider adding a few drops of tuna "juice" (the water that canned tuna is packed in) or clam juice to a bowl of water. Make sure to provide plain water as well.
Many cats are attracted to moving water, so kitty fountains are a popular choice to encourage drinking. You can also try a dripping faucet if you don't mind your kitties on the counters.
Hopefully this post will give you some ideas to help get your kitty drinking more and staying better hydrated. Your kitty's bladder and kidneys will thank you!

How to Look at the World Like a Neoreactionary, Part 4
There is no demographic trend more evocative and damning of modernism than precipitously declining birth rates. It seems as though every modern trend which has an effect on birth rate depresses it ever further. This will be an exercise in how the neoreactionary approaches the world, with an eye to the unrecognized costs of benefits which are virtually always taken for granted in society. These costs are almost always of an invisible sort; the cost is the opportunity of something else that fails to take place. In this way, modernism is marked by an increasing absence, an atomization of the individuals in society amidst a receding community. The symbol of modernism is the childless home.
The modern man is an irony. As developed before, he works in order that women may work, negating the value of his work to himself and his society. If he should like to pass over the allure of a narcissistic lifestyle wherein he treats the accumulation of material possessions as an end of living and concern himself instead with the work of civilization, i.e. starting a family and raising children ready to take their own place in society, he has everything in the world working against him. Though I intend no romanticism, a man who should like to be a provider to a loving wife and family has virtually every force conspiring against him. At the age which he should like to begin being a man, all other women his age who he should like to woo are distracted and occupied by education, Facebook, a career, and predatory socio-sexual aristocrats who have no qualms with using women for sex and nothing more. One might try and enjoin this man to partake of the pleasures of his age, and maybe he shall give in, since otherwise the rewards of his labor shall be a lonely 20′s where he feels crushed by his inability to attract a wife interested in the vision of a family. And when attention is finally given to him, his wife might concede to having a second child if she doesn't divorce him or somehow ruin the marriage.
Such a situation is almost a perfect contradiction to the plight of the man growing up earlier than 50 years ago. Where our hypothetical modern young man is probably chastised for wanting to marry young, he would've been chastised for not trying to marry young. This would've been the life experience for most men growing up down through history. It is hard to even see at first that our society is so very, very different from all other societies before it. We would have to appear as a thoroughly foreign culture to anyone born before 1850, and that doesn't have anything to do with our level of technology. The declining of birth rates, the fracturing of families, the delaying of adulthood, these would be the background of a dystopian novel were it written in 1890.
Yet, and this would be surprising to a reader from 1890, virtually none of us suspect that anything has gone wrong. It would appear virtually certain that Apocalypse came and went, yet none of us seem capable of remarking on the fact. When did it happen? It might be like marking the end of the Roman empire. It really depends on the metric you're going with.
So even if we are not presently living in a dystopia, it is arguable that we are transitioning into one. And why is that? It may have something to do with how civilization isn't getting made anymore. Our hypothetical young man was not merely partaking of biological function in reproducing, but a societal good as well. The perpetuation of society does not occur unless people actually form families and raise children. Apart from this, civilization literally does not go on; an empty home does not become occupied when the childless couple die, it remains a tomb of forfeited genetic legacy. The breakdown of civilization is marked by increasing absence, like a complex machine in which small yet significant parts are going missing, only disturbing its operation in a way not observable to those standing outside it. But, as the machine continues operating, the absences accumulate and exacerbate the machine's decay, until eventually something essential in the short term becomes noticeable. Such is how civilization darkens, without anyone realizing the lights are going off until all the rest of them go off at once. But the event of chaos is only epiphenomenal and cannot be stopped; it was guaranteed to occur a long time before anyone even realized something was amiss.
It isn't normal for children to be worse off than their parents. While there will always be calamitous events which have an influence outside the control of society, in a society such as ours we have the technology and capital available to protect against all but the most catastrophic of natural events. In order to explain why the children of a society such as ours face a future worse than that of their own parents or grandparents, the explanation must be social. It wasn't an asteroid or plague which has left us worse off; it is the burning up of social capital without replacing that so the future generations have the benefit of these institutions. We weren't made worse off so much as our own parents, and the parents before them, did nothing to make our situation better off. They did not do what they could to strengthen their own marriages and families, instead they clamored to divert to themselves all possible resources at any expense to the future. They never sought to make sure their children would be well off, but were focused on promoting egalitarianism. They tried to rescue everyone from poverty and just assumed that everything they were afforded while growing up would be around even if they did nothing to actually make it be around.
Why do we tax cigarettes? Besides that it is a way for the government to give itself your money, the purpose is to be punitive. A higher price induces lower quantity demanded. This is very simple economics. The more something costs, the less people want of something.
And it works, to a point. There is a limit, however, to the amount of cigarette smoking that can be effectively prevented through high punitive taxes. At a sufficiently high level of taxation, it becomes feasible for those more criminally inclined to smuggle in cigarettes from regions where the tax is not so high. In some places, the punitive tax has the effect of driving most cigarette sales underground. Cigarettes are not banned or prohibited, but they practically are, with the price pushed outside of tolerability for most who would choose to smoke cigarettes in the first place.
Agree or disagree with whether cigarette smoking ought to be stigmatized, the effect must be kept in mind. The disincentivizing of a behavior through increasing the cost of it is one of the most basic principles of social organization. Whatever you increase the cost of, you get less of.
It should be apparent that the change in equilibrium rates of marriage and family formation is due to some changes in society. It is not an effect without cause. The suggestion of the neoreactionary is that the cost of marriage and family formation has been increased. It is more costly to make happen, it is more costly to undertake, and it is more costly to sustain. This explains very easily and simply why the rates of marriage and birth have declined so precipitously. It is not so much that society re-evaluated its desire for marriage so much as marriage itself was changed. It isn't technically prohibited, but its costs have been raised substantially over the last 100 years in ways explicit and implicit. The family is essential, as it is literally the institution which perpetuates society. To make the family more costly is to make the perpetuation of society more costly.
That is, in sum, your problem right there. Entropy is always working on society, but it never succeeded at total ruin because what was taken from society by nature was replaced more than sufficiently by society. Except that now the mechanism to replace the failing parts of society is less reliable, less useful, less effective. The death of the family is the death of society.
Where did it go wrong? What was the first domino that saw the family become more difficult to develop in a society with literally no excuse? At least back then people were poor, so you can understand the "literally too poor to take care of a family" problem many people likely faced. In fact, the problem was so bad at times that children would die for want of basic necessities that their parents couldn't provide. Even the likelihood of miserable failure and suffering didn't decrease the equilibrium rate of marriage substantially.
No, the first domino was not birth control. That might seem an obvious answer, but the widespread acceptance and adoption of the Pill is part of a trend that began in the 19th century. That trend is the cult of childhood.
Childhood? What could possibly be wrong with childhood? Childhood is a happy, innocent age. The cult of childhood seems like it should increase the rates of marriage and birth, not decrease them. If the cult of childhood is an unequivocally modern norm, then clearly whatever would have to critique childhood is an inherently medieval worldview.
That might not be the worst. Let us examine the cult of childhood, to see why it is so abnormal and prohibitively costly.
The cult of childhood may be summarized as the view that children have an inalienable right to a period of development up to the age of 18 and sometimes even beyond which is free of significant life responsibilities or decisions. It is the responsibility of parents to provide their children with a high ease of living and many opportunities to indulge in carefree pursuits without a care in the world. Such a view seems only right given the prosperity of a society such as ours. To deprive a child of his childhood is to deprive someone of an essential life experience without which a person is incomplete. Life without a childhood is like a life without friends. Doable by all technical means, but probably worse than death.
Furthermore, even after childhood is technically finished, it is also the norm to spend several years at a postsecondary institution accumulating debt and foregoing all opportunities to work and start a family. Indeed, as has been covered extensively elsewhere in many ways, such a cultural norm of itself decreases the rates of family formation.
Providing a child with such a developmental experience is extremely costly when you consider that until the 19th century it was the norm for children to begin working with or for their family about the age of 14. When you consider that this could practically eliminate the financial cost of raising a child, you can see how this increases the cost of family formation radically. Although presently youth can begin work at the age of 16, sometimes 15 or 14 given certain legal exceptions, the expectation of every youth to finish high school before he is allowed to actually begin the work of life increases the difficulty of someone trying to go to work when they can. Extended adolescence and delayed adulthood are the norms; it should not surprise us when trends indicate that the phenomenal norms of adolescence pervade a person's life through their 20′s, with very little effort put into family formation and much more expended building a substantially delayed career.
A one size fits all approach to the maturation of children simply doesn't make sense. It should be taken as a practical reality that not all children are equally benefited by being afforded (or trying to afford, cf. inner-city schools) the same opportunities. Resources expended trying to raise an idiot to the educational attainment of a genius is obviously futile, but this is only an extreme instance of the same principle. It doesn't make sense for society to afford the same developmental experience to all individuals. College isn't for everyone. Nor is high school. Many would be better off if they were taught a trade beginning at the age of 14; you don't need to know how to read Hemingway or how to calculate the area under a curve to do plumbing or construction, and all those hours spent in school learning such useless information are a disadvantage to the young man who would be better off if we instead afforded him the opportunity to begin building up work experience in a socially beneficial trade.
Note, of course, that I am not saying an extensive education should never be afforded to children. Many (I won't say most, but it could be) are better off for it. However, that there are some who are better off for it does not entail all are better off for it. A diversity of realistic approaches to preparing children for the stresses of society was the historical norm, and it seems a return to this norm would help in restoring cultural norms to sustainable levels of family formation.
The point here is not only that a modern childhood is expensive, but our assumption that it is normal and of perfect benefit to everyone in every situation is problematic. At its logical extremes, it leads to first world Western nations trying to ban child labor in third world countries where child labor is the norm because that is what must be done to get by. Banning child labor in poor countries will not have the benefit of putting children in schools; if anything, it will leave the families of these children even worse off, putting education even further out of reach. An imperialist cultural chauvinism makes us blind to the fact that our view of childhood is but a mere cultural norm which differs greatly in other cultures that face different social and economic problems.
It isn't sufficient to insist that "more should be done." Every intervention which contravenes the market to make a society better off has the unintended consequence of pushing people to less optimal means of solving the basic dilemmas of acquiring food and shelter. The effect of banning child labor decreases the birth rate. While this effect will not be so pronounced in first world nations which have a high median income, this effect must be substantially more pronounced in those societies where the prohibition of sending/allowing your children to work only makes it more difficult to feed your children at all.
A plummeting birth rate is simply not sustainable. If a society will not replace its aging and dying members, it will wither like a body denied food. The body may continue along for a while, cannibalizing the protein of its muscles and organs in order to go on, but unless it obtains for itself more nutrients, it will die due to catastrophic organ failure. We cannot assume that civilization takes care of itself, that others have it covered. Nor can we even hope of ourselves that we will do it without incentivizing ourselves to do it. This implies that what has occurred is not a mere change in expectations, but a change in the structure of incentives which face a person in how he decides to live his life. There are many more things to say about the structure of family formation as it currently exists in our society, but the cultural view of childhood seems the most overlooked despite the way it substantially informs the decision to be married.
The costs of the cult of childhood are substantial and cannot be passed over with little attention. The majority of these costs are invisible, and showcase themselves through curious absences; the empty womb, the empty house, the empty marriage. Nothing in the modern world is beyond critique, even its most sacred dogmas.

We have the next bench ready to go into the precinct any day soon. The wait has been long so I am going to feel quite relieved when it is finally there. The story behind how this bench theme came to be decided on is, for me, slightly tainted, but its a much too boring story to recount here. The bench is dedicated to aviation duo, Alcock and Brown and despite my reservations about the theme, Mike Burgess has done a fantatic job on it.
My original goal was to use some of the Kickstarter money to create something to honour to work of Cosgrove Hall Animations stuidos which, in its hay day, was based in Chorlton. It has always amazed me that there isn't already something here dedicated to them. When I look back on my own childhood, Cosgrove Hall cartoons figure highly in my memory: Jamie and his Magic Torch, Danger Mouse and Count Duckula, as well as the wonderful Wind in the Willows and The BFG adaptations. And, of course, Chorlton and the Wheelies. My proposal is to have 3 carved wooden statues of the most iconic of the characters situated around Chorlton town centre. Who would not love to see Danger Mouse outside the Post Office or Count Duckula outside the library?!
This goal is proving the hardest to achieve – but I will not be beaten! Since November I have been trying to obtain permission regarding the Intellectual Property rights of the Cosgrove Hall characters – I obviously don't want to spend a large chunk of the money on a Dangermouse statue only to be told that we would not be allowed to display it in public. Unfortunately, at the moment, Fremantle Media (who own the rights to the CH characters) have rejected my request, citing various reasons which don't really make sense. I'm really hoping that they will be able to realise that my proposed plan could have a fantastic impact on Chorlton, and in turn could generate good publicity for themselves.
I never would of imagined that it would be so hard to sort this out, but I won't give up until it happens.

Today was interesting. I usually do not write in the first person perspective, but I would like to share with you. A thought crossed my mind today. I was on a ladder. You know, one of those straight, put em on the wall 'cus they aren't shaped like an "A" type ladders. It was leaned against a wall, sitting about 15 feet up or so. I was near the top, cutting a piece of rusty old pipe with a reciprocating saw.
So I'm up there, leaned over my work space (the rusty old pipe) and leaning hard into my work. The saw would catch every once in a while and my whole body would shake, the ladder would shake, the pipes would jangle and wretch and whine and I would remember, hey, be careful, you are pretty high up and you don't want to fall to a slow and painful crawl to the car, drive to the hospital, followed by months of rehab. Thankfully, this thought crossed my mind the third or fourth time the saw caught and shook my little world all up. I stopped, and thinking safely, I reasoned through what was going to happen when I finally got through the piece of pipe.
You see, the ladder represents the spiritual practices, relationships and food The Lord gives us that the world hates. Conversely, those rusty old pipes, namely the one I was cutting down, is like the world that we tend to lean on, knowing if we are going to lead a somewhat comfortable life we unfortunately sometimes need to lean into what we know will pass away: The world and it's practices, relationships and so on.
I reasoned, and I thought, and I recognized finally that, hey buddy, you're going to need to quit leaning on this rusty old pipe and put most all of your weight and trust on this ladder. You see, I am pretty glad I put some of my weight on the ladder. You know why? Because once I got through that pipe, all 25 feet of it or so crashed down and if I had been leaning on it I would have fallen right along with it. I was safely standing on the ladder, watching that old hunk of metal while it found it's way to the ground.
You know what all this is a lot like? It is a lot like the spies who went into the land promised to them in The Book of Numbers. You see, the maelstrom of thought that day was "That land is awesome and has more than enough to sustain us." When Moses and the other faithful folk began "readying the troops" those same fellas who were just parading around the riches of the land were all "Whoa guys, that's a little crazy. We forgot to tell you that the people living there now are giants. literally GIANT HUMANS. We don't stand a chance."
You see the idea of wandering around in the wilderness and complaining that God was not giving them enough was their rusty old pipe. The promised land was their ladder. I'm gonna spoil it and just come right out and say something here. I am so incredibly thankful that I had this experience today because I know that I am one small piece to a greater community of courageous men and woman who also learned the same lesson in their own ways.
Here is the key though. The Israelites were living in a day to day "natural miracle" state. Elohim wanted them to trust in a "hidden miracle" or "open miracle" (either or, it's arguable). The faithful men and women recognized that each and every day God performed the same ol' miracles to keep them alive. The other folks just saw it as nature. The faithful folks saw that God would perform a different type of miracle in order to get them from wandering in the wilderness to promised land. The other fellas saw the promised land as unreachable.
God speaks to us all wherever we are. If we let Him talk to us while we are 15 feet in the air being jarred around by metal and crap during our daily work, we might be more likely to find ourselves thankful when we end up in the wilderness for a season.

Synopsis: (from goodreads.com)
Welcome to Chromatacia, where the societal hierarchy is strictly regulated by one's limited color perception. And Eddie Russet wants to move up. But his plans to leverage his better-than-average red perception and marry into a powerful family are quickly upended. Juggling inviolable rules, sneaky Yellows, and a risky friendship with an intriguing Grey named Jane who shows Eddie that the apparent peace of his world is as much an illusion as color itself, Eddie finds he must reckon with the cruel regime behind this gaily painted façade.
Rating: 5 out of 5
Genre: Dystopic Fantasy
Before this book, I was not familiar with Jasper Fforde's work. I took a chance on the referral of a good friend of mine and put "Shades of Grey" in my to-read list. I pushed it back a few times thinking I was not going to like it as much as my disgusting horror books. I decided to get it after my last horror book to change genres. I cannot believe I put it off for as long as I did!
Fforde's writing style in "Shades of Grey" is fantastic and different from anything I have ever read before. The story itself was an amazing spiral of nonsense and true-to-life happenings. The ridiculousness of what happens along with some of the made-up words and history simply makes you laugh and crinkle your brow confused-like simultaneously.
The beginning can be hard to get into at first. Do not let this put you off in any way. There is a reason that the book starts the way it does. Imagine being dropped off in another world. Would you understand everything right of way? Do you think you could understand the hierarchy or language in this different world? The story takes its time in explaining some things, but it is worth the wait. It will allow you to appreciate the style and pace the author has chosen. By the end, you will be begging for more!
I must say that Jasper Fforde is now one of my most favorite authors. I recommend this book to those who are looking for something comical yet amazingly brilliant. Fforde will not disappoint!
I cannot wait for #2!

Scruffy certainly is looking forward to her life without being an income producing "thing". Beneath the matted and urine soaked coat is a darling little girl. The harsh reality of being a puppy mill breeder is fading more and more. She has been in foster care for a couple of weeks now and her coat is beginning to come in beautifully. She is still shy and timid, but wants to love, just not sure how to yet. She is very quite and is getting used to being cuddled. Gets along great with other dogs and is working real hard on her housebreaking skills. She gives kisses now and wags that precious tail.
Scruffy is thought to be 10, pushed to the max of her producing age. She is approximately 9 lbs and is thought to be a Maltese/Yorkie mix. She has had her dental, she is spayed, micro chipped and on heart worm prevention. Her ear infections are cleared up, mammary tumors removed and her skin is clearing up too. She is up to date on all shots.
Despite her life of hardships, she is a tough little cookie that is, already reaching out to be loved. She now realizes, that she is warm, fed and comforted. Please don't let her age stop you, she still has lots of pep in her step, for her life is just beginning.
If you are interested in giving Scruffy that forever family, please submit your application at viprescue.org.
Thank you for adopting and not shopping, hopefully puppy mills will be non existent one day.

EWOT Energy Plus
Price $5995 + GST + Shipping
EWOT Energy Plus not only provides the best EWOT experience on the planet, it also provides the added benefit of high altitude (low oxygen) Air. By combining High Oxygen (90%) and Low Oxygen (14%), also known as contrast training, you can deprive the body of Oxygen in short bursts to "trick" the body into thinking there is a lack of Oxygen, in turn the body will "open up" to adjust for this new condition and that's when we flick the switch back to High Oxygen (90%) to "Super Oxygenate" the body. This system goes way beyond ANY other EWOT system providing results that can be felt in just one session.
EWOT Energy Plus is exactly like the EWOT Energy Home System with the added benefit of the Adaptive Contrast (Low Oxygen) function. Every component of this system has been custom made to ensure Ultra Air Flow, Safety and Durability. This system is suitable for all ages and fitness types and can provide Unlimited High and Low Oxygen (90% + & 14%) for the various EWOT protocols. This is a heavy duty system that can be used in the home or in a studio or clinical environment.
Product Description:
- 1 x EWOT Energy Plus Oxygen Concentrator
- 1 x Extra Large Reservoir & Ultra High Flow Piping and Switch Box
- 1 x Ultra High Flow Mask (40mm air inlet for ultra easy breathing)
- 1 x Ultra High Flow Tubing (40mm inner Diameter & 1.5m in Length)
- 1 x Oximeter Watch
The EWOT Energy Plus Concentrator has been specially built to provide low (14%) and high (90% +) Oxygen air. The unit draws in the ambient air and splits the air into low and high Oxygen and expels it out through the 2 outlets that in turn connect to the reservoir. The Oxygen Concentrator runs on normal electricity and is manufactured to concentrate oxygen 24 hours a day for 365 days a year so it is very reliable, quiet to run, and easy to use. Your purchase includes full set up instructions and a 3 year warranty.
The Extra Large Reservoir Bag (2.5m x 1.5m) still has a 1200L Capacity for the High Oxygen Air as well as a second compartment for the Low Oxygen air which is enough reserve air for the various EWOT 15 minute protocols. The EWOT Energy Plus System is suitable for ALL health and fitness types (from Chronic Illnesses to Elite Athletes) and is big enough for multiple people to use back to back.
The Extra Large Reservoir Bag is made with High Quality, Medical Grade polyurethane interior bladder to ensure no plasticizers that give off/ leach chemicals) with a nylon cover to protect the bladder from light and dust. The pipe work throughout the reservoir and all the way to the mask is all 40mm Ultra High Flow to ensure easy breathing. Only dry oxygen goes into the reservoir so it does not require internal maintenance or cleaning. The reservoir is typically hung from the ceiling or any frame set up close to your exercise equipment. The reservoir also offers the convenience of being hung horizontal or vertical.
The Ultra High Flow Mask have been custom made for our EWOT systems to allow easy breathing while going through each session. They contain a one way 40mm valve to breathe the oxygen in and 2 separate one way 30mm valves to breathe out, this make this mask the only REAL High Flow EWOT Mask in the market. The durable Silicon Shell is extremely comfortable, easy to clean and comes in 2 sizes S/M and M/L. To secure the Mask while you exercise there is 2 easy to use adjustable straps that simply loop over your head, one sits at the back of your neck and the other sits on the crown of the head. This Ultra High Flow EWOT Mask has been designed and tested for the past 2 years to ensure the absence of claustrophobia and restriction in breathing some people experience when using other EWOT Systems. (Many people cannot use hyperbaric chambers for this very reason!)
The Finger Oximeter measures your blood oxygen level and your heart rate. The finger oximeter works by light! If you hold a torch up to your finger in a dark room you can almost see thorough your finger! Using this principle, the oximeter can read the blood pulsing through your finger tip for your heart rate as well as measure (quite accurately) the amount of oxygen in your blood. (Please note this will NOT read the full effects of the EWOT system, it does not measure the super Oxygen saturation of the blood plasma)
The EWOT Energy Home System is very simple to put together. The System comes in 2 packages (the concentrator and the EWOT Kit) and it is as simple as connecting a tube from the oxygen concentrator to the reservoir bag and an Ultra High Flow Tube from the bag to your mask.
Your EWOT Energy is covered by a full Warranty for 12 months. Please read full details of our warranty.
Please keep your proof of purchase.
Please carefully check your product for any shipping damage as you unpack it.

While he was asleep, he saw a dream that a monk came to him and said,"Don't end up your life. It is a sin. Tomorrow I'll visit your home, and you must hit on my head with a wooden stick, after that I'll change into gold and you will be rich again".
The neighbor went to his home and said to himself, "Tomorrow I will invite many monks to my house and will hit them on their head and they will turn into gold. In this way I will become the richest person of the village". Next day he did the same. The monks were injured. They caught the man and informed the king about the incident.
King's soldiers came and took the man to the king. ''Why did you hit the monks ?''The king asked.
The man told the king,"I went to my neighbor's home and saw him hitting the monk who turned into gold. I just copied him. It is all his mistake".The king called the other man man and asked him to explain the whole matter. He told the king about his dream and the miracle. " You can go, it's not your fault". King allowed him to go.
Now the king said to the man who had injured the monks, " You are a foolish and greedy person. You just copied your neighbor without thinking and hurt the monks". He put the man behind the bars.
