A relation that cannot be overlooked
Bhutan as a nation has always preserved its isolation from rest of the world. This 39,000 square meter nation with approximately 7,00,000 population cozily exists between Asia's two giants – India and China. Bhutan not only withstood numerous attempts to be conquered by the Tibetans and Mongols, but also managed to evade colonization and the resultant incorporation into the British Raj, despite two wars against the British. Under the Treaty of Punakha in 1910, Britain guaranteed Bhutan's independence, and approved Bhutanese Royal Government an increased stipend. The Treaty allowed control of Bhutanese Foreign Relations and defense to Britain. Bhutan has always stayed out of international organizations and has maintained few bilateral trades.
Bhutan was one of the first nations to recognize India's independence in 1947 and both nations have fostered close relations. The tie between these two countries is augmented further during 1950's annexation of Tibet by People's Republic of China and its border dispute with both India and Bhutan. India strengthened its ties with both Nepal and Bhutan as its "Himalayan Frontier" security policy. India shares 605 kilometers (376 mi) border with Bhutan and is its largest trading partner. Bhutan's smooth transition from political monarchy to a successful democracy is commendable. The credit of course goes to Bhutan's royal family for ushering in democracy.
After the 1960 government ban on trade with Tibet, Bhutan's external sector became almost totally oriented toward trade with India. With the completion in 2002 of the second hydroelectric power project financed by India—built largely with Indian migrant labor and designed to deliver the majority of its power outputs to India—India's dominance in terms of exports has remained over 90%. Import sources, however, have become increasingly diversified.
On his first ever visit to Bhutan for 2 days on 16th June 2014; Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi assured cooperation between the two countries related to their mutual security. Both Prime Ministers agreed to continue with their close coordination and cooperation with each other on issues relating to their national interests, and not allowing each other's territory to be used for interests unfavorable to each other. This was PM's first foreign trip after assuming office. I think his quick decision making ability and his no nonsense approach in taking executive decisions and assuring quick implementation of policies need salutation from all of us. Security and defense are priority of his governance.
The main objective of the visit was to flush out Northeastern insurgents from the Bhutanese territory. On the eve of Modi's visit, Bhutan's PM said this was a chance to celebrate the ties between the two countries and added, "We have to further strengthen this friendship." Bhutan's PM Tobgay assured that his county was very serious against terror camps. The nation has dismantled all terrorist outfits or camps. Since then none have entered Bhutan. The Bhutanese PM assured that his territory will never be used in any way against security interests of India. Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasized having a good neighbor is important for a country's happiness and in its absence a nation cannot live in peace despite prosperity. He made the remarks while reminding Bhutan that one of the factors responsible for its happiness was having a good neighbor like India!!

"Once a Marine, always a Marine."
It's a time-honored saying that most Marines will proudly stand by.
Jim Warren happens to be one of those people. In fact, he credits his time in the Marines to his success in IT sales. Today, Jim is the founder of RDM Communications, a Seattle-based IT consultancy.
Like most entrepreneurs, Jim has had his share of struggles since launching RDM back in 2007. But time and time again, it's the discipline and 'never give up' attitude he acquired in the Marines that's helped him to always land on his feet.
I sat down with Jim to learn more about his journey and the lessons learned along the way.
To Be The Best, You Must Be Adaptable
For most people reading this, the Marines need no introduction. But in the interest of storytelling, bear with me.
The Marines are known for taking on and succeeding in some of the US Military's most difficult combat missions. They're often regarded as one of the most elite military units in the world. And unlike other military departments who stick to either sea, land or air missions, the Marines deploy over all three.
In a word, they're adaptable.
Adaptability is certainly a trait well suited for the makings of an entrepreneur. And it has undoubtedly helped Jim over the years.
From quickly shifting an approach to a particular client challenge or adopting new knowledge and skills, Jim's innate ability to adapt swiftly to the sales landscape in front of him have been foundational to his success.
Chart Out Your Mission
"He who fails to plan is planning to fail," Winston Churchill supposedly once said (or was it Benjamin Franklin?).
Regardless of who actually uttered those words, there's just something so poignant about their simplicity.
As most business owners know (or have perhaps learned the hard way), planning is critical. Planning gives you direction and goals. Without planning, entrepreneurs are more likely to fall prey to distraction, making rash decisions that veer their business off course.
Jim knows this well. When he first stepped into IT sales he had zero plan in place. During this time, Jim's method of drumming up business followed a haphazard course of cold-calling — dialing up any far-off prospect he came across in hopes of closing the deal.
It was a chaotic time. It was also very unsuccessful.
With bills to pay and a family to feed, Jim knew he needed to course correct. He needed to find a way to success. And so he charted a plan.
That plan began with a back-to-basics move to work the strong relationships he made during his time as a channel manager. But the plan didn't simply stop at making contact. Jim knew he needed a hook. And so he began pitching his full-spectrum experience in the channel and in sales as an invaluable asset to his prospects.
The plan (and pitch) paid off. Shortly after launching this plan, Jim began seeing his initial success begin to coalesce.
Be Grateful
Any Marine who has spent time in active duty has experienced his or her share of loss. In an instant, combat can take away a Marine's friends and comrades, security, and overall sense of normalcy.
In time, many Marines eventually the preciousness of life and the importance of daily acts of gratitude to take stock of life's blessings.
While he's committed to his success, Jim appreciates that his blessings could be taken away. But rather than being fearful, Jim uses this knowledge as an opportunity to show gratitude. Every day, Jim gives daily prayers to offer thanks for every success (no matter how small), and every gift in his life.
With such success under his belt, it would be quite easy for one's ego to run amok. But with his gratitude attitude in place, Jim operates from a special vantage point that blends his roles as Marine, father, husband, and businessman. A vantage point that keeps him grounded, focused, humble, and kind.
And that's a combination all of us in sales should constantly strive towards.
You can catch Jim's full-length interview over on the podcast. Jim shares more insights from his Marine lessons and how they've helped shaped him as a sales superstar.

A U.S. District Court judge has ruled that AT&T can move forward in its $85.4 billion purchase of Time Warner. Judge Richard Leon today ruled in favor of AT&T, allowing the deal to proceed without remedies.
AT&T announced its takeover of Time Warner in October 2016. Time Warner owns familiar media brands including HBO, Warner Bros., TBS, and CNN. Initially, the purchase was compared to Comcast's takeover of NBCUniversal, which brought together a cable company with a major content provider. That deal was approved in 2011 after conditions were imposed on the transaction.
But AT&T ran into tougher roadblocks. In November 2017, the Department of Justice antitrust chief Makan Delrahim filed a lawsuit to block the merger of AT&T and Time Warner, citing antitrust concerns.
Today's ruling will allow AT&T to add Time Warner's considerable media assets to its already huge portfolio. AT&T is one of the nation's largest internet providers. And in 2015 it purchased the satellite TV provider DirecTV.
In a statement, Delrahim said, "We are disappointed with the court's decision today. We will closely review the court's opinion and consider next steps in light of our commitment to preserving competition for the benefit of American consumers."
AT&T General Counsel David McAtee said, "We look forward to closing the merger on or before June 20, so we can begin to give consumers video entertainment that is more affordable, mobile, and innovative."
The judge warned that even if the Department of Justice appeals, he will deny a stay on the deal, so the companies can still close.
The deal could signal a green light for T-Mobile and Sprint, which announced their merger in April. Or not. AT&T argued that its purchase of Time Warner was not anti-competitive because the two companies operate different businesses, which don't compete. T-Mobile and Sprint, conversely, do operate similar businesses that compete with each other. The two companies are positioning their merger as a necessary step for 5G. They have said they plan to invest up to $40 billion in a new 5G network.

Breast Augmentation :: Breast Reconstruction :: Breast Reduction :: Breast Lift
Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the size and shape of the breasts by inserting implants.
There are different types of implants available. All implants are synthetic silicone rubber shells filled with a silicone gel or a saline (saltwater) solution. The outer wall of the implant may be smooth or textured (rough surfaced). Generally, rough surfaced implants do not need to be massaged post operatively. Smooth implants may need to be massaged to help prevent scar contracture.
Dr Kane will recommend the particular type of implant that he feels is most appropriate for you.
On the day of surgery, the proposed implant site, the creases under the breast and the incision sites will be marked on your skin either in your hospital room or the pre-op area of the operating room.
The location of your incision is based on your personal preference, your body type and Dr Kane's recommendation.
An incision placed in the inframammary fold may be hidden by the breast itself when standing, but can be seen when the patient is lying down.
A pocket is then made depending on the type of implant being used and the breast size you have selected.
The space in the pocket allows your breasts to feel soft. An implant is inserted in order to achieve the look you have chosen. Once the desired look is achieved, the pocket is closed.
The incision is closed and Dr Kane places either a surgical bra or bandage over the incision, depending on what seems best in your case. Drain tubes are frequently inserted into the pockets to eliminate any blood which may collect.
Breast reconstruction is a surgery performed to restore the shape of breasts after the tissue is removed during mastectomy/lumpectomy (conducted to treat or prevent breast cancer).
The nipple and areola can be reconstructed at a later stage. A small elevation is made keeping the other nipple as reference. The normal pigmentation of an areola can be tattooed using a dye, which is carried out at a later date.
A small difference may exist in the size and shape of the two breasts following reconstruction, but may not be noticeable under a bra. However, for the more noticeable ones, women may surgically reduce, enlarge or lift the remaining breast to maintain symmetry.
Dr Kane will discuss your options with you at the time of consultation. In some instances, Dr Kane will utilise computer imagining to illustrate the results that he can achieve through surgery.
Either for cosmetic or medical reason, such as age, damage, ruptures or capsular contracture, breast implants may need to be removed. Dr Kane can remove the prosthesis in combination with a number of other procedures to achieve the best result for your individual needs.
These additional procedures include:
Breast reduction also known as reduction mammoplasty is a surgical procedure employed to remove excess fat, tissue and skin from the breasts.
Dr Kane will draw on your breasts, marking the incision lines and making other relevant measurements decided on at the preoperative consultation. Once you are asleep and lying down the landmarks change as the breast assumes a different shape to that we observe when you are standing. The diagram demonstrates the "landmarks" Dr Kane uses to achieve the result.
Breast Reduction surgery is performed with the patient under general anaesthesia. Dr Kane will measure the height of the nipple and estimate the volume of breast to be removed. Excess breast tissue is usually removed from inner and outer areas of the breast. Skin edges will be approximated after the excess breast tissue is removed.
The nipple is elevated into the new position. It is not detached from the underlying breast tissue. At the end of the operation a firm dressing or brassiere is placed around your chest. Drainage tubes may be in place to eliminate any blood that may accumulate. These drains are removed within 2-3 days of the surgery.
Sagging breasts are a real concern for many women. Loss of skin elasticity, gravity and other factors such as pregnancy and nursing can cause the breasts to lose their natural shape and firmness.
A breast lift or mastopexy is a cosmetic breast surgical procedure to lift and reshape the sagging breasts. The mastopexy may also involve repositioning the areola and nipple. Some women may have small breast or may have lost a significant amount of breast volume after pregnancy. In such cases placement of breast implants in addition to breast lift may be required to increase the size and firmness of the breasts. The implants are commonly placed under the muscle of the chest wall.
Breast lifts are usually performed under general anaesthesia. The procedure generally takes 1.5 to 3.5 hours to perform. Dr Kane will make an anchor-shaped incision that follows the natural contour of the breast. Next, Dr Kane will remove the excess skin and move your nipple and areola to the higher position. Then the skin around the areola is brought down and drawn together to reshape the breast. After completion of the procedure, stitches are placed around the areola and nipple area, in a vertical line beneath the nipple and along the lower crease of the breast.
Another technique especially for those with small breasts and minimal sagging is the doughnut or concentric mastopexy, where circular incisions are made around the areola, and a doughnut-shaped area of skin or areola is removed.
Following the surgery your breast will be bruised, swollen, and may ache for a day or two. You may feel slight discomfort, for which medications are recommended by Dr Kane. After you have a breast lift, an elastic bandage or a surgical bra will be wrapped around your breasts over gauze dressings. These will be removed within few days and replaced with a support bra.
All sutures are usually removed within two weeks after surgery. You may expect loss of sensation around your nipple and areola areas. This is usually temporary and may take six weeks or more to return to normal.
Breast lift can enhance your breast size and shape, and restore the body contour of your breasts.
Gynaecomastia surgery aims to remove excess tissue and fat from the male chest in a similar fashion to a female Breast Reduction. For more information, see the Breast Reduction tab.
Inverted nipple correction is a procedure to remedy nipples that have been pulled in by either short milk ducts or post-pregnancy or other means. The procedure entails Dr Kane making a small incision under the nipple to gain access to and cut the ducts tethering the nipple. Dr Kane utilises a 'purse-string' suture to keep the nipple in the desired position.

For the last two days I have been working on a business plan to open a food cart and a food stand. I even played hooky from work. I feel a little guilty about that, but not enough to go to confession.
The plan calls for a food cart to be set up semi-permanent through the week and then have a stand at the Farmers Market on Saturday. Apparently this will be the 30th season. Way to go Quincy Farmer's Market.
I have been working on a menu for the last three or four hours. It has not been easy balancing taste with what is possible to do in outdoor conditions. Then there is considering how to much to pack into the park and how to get it out of there.
My mantra has been 'keep the menu tight'. I have a tendency to cook up all kinds of wild dishes with exotic tastes. But I am in small town Midwest and so I have to tone it done. I can't be Spinal Tap and turn it up to 11-though that would be so awesome.
For the lunch menu there are burgers and brats and chicken salad wraps. But I still want to jazz them up. The menu isn't too broad and I am considering salads.
The breakfast menu is small, only breakfast burritos and biscuits and gravy. I am not sure how the biscuits and gravy will sell. On cold days I am sure they will fly out of the stand, but warm days . . . . I guess I could use them for skeet shooting once they get really hard. I think the burritos will sell no matter the weather. But we shall soon see. Maybe I could do breakfast biscuits. That could work.
All I know is that I finally feel alive again. Since leaving the cafe I have felt sad and numb. And working in the pizza place hasn't been the most rewarding experience. The only reason I have stayed this long is because of my father. The only plus to the place is I get to spend time with my dad. I work mostly nights so I can see him in the morning and have a cup of coffee and talk about the world, or books, or movies, or nothing. But as for any satisfaction beyond that, there is none. I have felt it was time to leave and do something else almost from the moment I walked back into the place. I feel so old some days working with people so young. And they seem so disconnected from the reality in front of them. Not all of them, of course, but a great many.
So I am looking forward to telling the boss that I have a new venture. I can't wait to explore the possibilities. Besides the kitchen at the pizza place reaches 120 degrees plus. I won't miss that.

Recipes for Garlic
The Adaptability of using Recipes for Garlic
For good reason we have developed recipes for garlic, due to the way it enhances foods. But in addition garlic has long been reputed for curing several conditions. Although scientific evidence has not substantiated it , there is solid data pointing to garlic as one of the most versatile natural substances we could use to give us good health. It has the odorless substance called alliin. Once crushed or minced, alliin converts to allicin, which has the characteristic taste and odor we associate with garlic.
Therapeutic Qualities Come from Allicin
The optimum antidote for eliminating the smell is chewing on fresh mint, which is going to moreover leave your breath, well, minty fresh. Parsley also works for masking the odor, however doesn't help the breath as much.
Reducing High Blood Pressure and Stroke Are Two Health Benefits
Scientific tests have revealed that garlic intake reduces blood pressure, hardening of the arteries, heart problems along with stroke. Its capabilities as being a blood thinner aid in those conditions, as well as thrombophlebitis, a condition caused by blood clotting inside the veins of the legs. Garlic has in addition been known to destroy yeast and virus organisms, bacteria, and some types of parasites.
Understanding just how vital garlic can be, how can we best include it with our diet program? As pointed out previously, it offers the most advantages when it is chopped or crushed. Because of its strength, it can easily destroy a dish if utilized improperly, which makes many people reluctant to use it. But with some simple guidelines, there will be nothing to fear by using this healthy food to enrich many dishes. Here are a number of things to bear in mind:
1. Raw garlic. In such a form its taste is the strongest, and should be used as a seasoning as opposed to an ingredient. This really is considered the healthiest kind, with garlic tablets having the least health benefits.
2. Cooked garlic. Used in cooking it provides flavor to any dish. Roasting is often a favorite; following roasting merely smash it and add it to mashed potatoes, stir it into soups, stir it into risotto, or else add with a little butter and spread it over a toasted English muffin.
3. Burnt garlic. Be careful when you sauté garlic never to burn it. It will ruin your meal, because it will have a taste that is extremely bitter when burnt..
4. Dried garlic. Preparing food with garlic can be a lot more convenient if you purchase it in powders or minced. Fact is, we have not been able to find scientific tests that establish their relative health benefits. However the professionals agree that even though powdered garlic has certain health benefits, it is not going to be nearly as effective as freshly crushed garlic.
5. Garlic with wine. If you prepare a dish that is quite rich with garlic, the wine should be bold, either red or perhaps a citrus-like wine such as Sauvignon Blanc. In case you are light with the garlic, such as a clove inside a stew, you will hardly become aware of it.
When you get into preparing food, especially Mediterranean-based dishes, garlic must be one item you learn about and use consistently.

Hotel and theme park operator Leofoo Tourism Group (六福旅遊集團) is giving top priority to maintaining employee morale while seeking to boost sales ahead of the year-end closure of its premier property, the Westin Taipei (台北威斯汀六福皇宮), group officials said yesterday.
"We are trying our best to retain all our employees or relocate them to affiliated facilities," Leofoo communications director Anne Wang (王淺秋) told a media briefing.
The group also operates the Courtyard by Marriott Taipei (六福萬怡), the Leofoo Hotel (六福客棧), the Leofoo Resort (六福莊), the Leofoo Village Theme Park (六福村) and other recreational facilities.
Newly installed Leofoo chairwoman Lulu Chuang (莊豐如) last week said that maintaining the morale of the company's personnel sits at the top of her to-do list.
The Westin Taipei's closure would affect Leofoo's revenue in the short term, but might allow it to restructure its finances and become more cost-effective from next year, Chuang said.
Employees who do not wish to stay would not have difficulty finding new positions, as new hotels are scheduled to open in Taipei and other parts of Taiwan, Wang said, adding that some workers had already moved on.
The five-star facility would offer discounts to shore up its occupancy rate, as well as its food and beverage sales, Wang said.
Guests who stay at the Westin Taipei from now to Nov. 30 are to receive one free night and enjoy a 25 percent discount at all dining facilities, Wang said.
The campaign might push up the occupancy rate by 400 rooms, she added.
The group expects a 10 percent increase in mooncake sales this year, compared with NT$10 million (US$325,034) last year, Wang said.
Food and beverage sales have been the group's strength, Wang said, adding that it had no intention of giving that up.
Before the closure, the group would relocate its central kitchen from the Westin Taipei to the Marriott Taipei in the city's Nangang District (南港), she said.

Such programs are spread using freeware and fake alerts offering people to update such programs as Flash Player, FLV Player, Java, web browser, etc. Please, stay away from such ads because there are hundreds of PC users who are tricked into downloading adwares, browser hijackers and other potentially unwanted programs with their help. For more information on how can you avoid Premierads.net virus you should check the next paragraph. Here, we will reveal why should you do that. The most important thing why should you try to avoid adwares is their purpose. Such programs are mostly created for affiliate marketing. Once they infiltrate the system, they start causing various pop-up ads that are filled with needed links. These links are supposed to redirect people to predetermined websites. If you want to avoid unsafe websites that may try to trick you into downloading other adwares, browser hijackers and similar PUPs, you should ignore these ads. In addition, beware that adwares may start initiating various modifications on each of your web browsers, including Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and similar. In addition, they may start slowing your web browser and may even try to track your browsing habits. No matter that such information is not considered 'personally identifiable', you shouldn't agree with its recording. For avoiding that, you should scan your computer with updated anti-spyware, such as Reimage. It will help you to get rid of each of suspicious applications.
How can Premierads.net hijack my computer?
As we have already mentioned, Premierads.net-related adware is mostly spread using free programs and misleading alerts that are telling people that they need to update their Java, Flash Player and similar programs. If you don't want to install adwares, you should use other methods for updating your Java and similar programs. For that you can simply go to program's official website and see what it offers for you. In addition, make sure you start monitoring installation of the freeware because there are lots of free applications that have been filled with suspicious components. For getting ability to see them, you should select Custom or Advanced installation of the freeware. Once you do so, make sure you check every installation window and opt out of questionable entries. We would also recommend to avoid offers that promote unknown search engines. If you see a checkmark under the statement: " Make XXX my default search engine", you shouldn't leave it there because you can easily notice Premierads.net redirects and similar unwanted activities on each of your web browsers. If you think that it's too late and you have just been convinced into downloading Premierads.net virus to your computer, you should follow a guide below and fix your computer. Please, do NOT waste your time and do that ASAP because every minute counts. You may be redirected to unsafe websites and may be tricked into downloading a suspicious program to your computer.

In May 2017, bishop Williamson stated:
A full century after Fatima we are well on our way to that darkness. Such are the disputes, divisions, confusion and chaos in Catholic hearts and minds being caused by the churchmen's hollowing out of their authority by their abandoning of God's Truth, that many a clear-sighted Catholic can already be preferring to keep silent rather than attempt to argue or to teach. A mass of modern minds are so incapable any longer of thinking or reasoning that any attempt to dispel their errors can seem to risk only increasing their confusion.1
During Lent I intend to cease all activity on this website, while, among many other things, I ponder it's usefulness, or lack thereof.

Not sure where I am going with this drawing yet. I may let it stay as a simple sketch or I will use mixed media. We will see. For now, the pencil will do its work. :)
I have promised myself: during the Christmas break I will try to do "one drawing a day challenge". I have not done much work in the sketchbook lately and I do not want to make it to a habit.

Sometime during the middle of 1933, my grandfather boiled a pot of water to use for his morning shave. His youngest child, a daughter who had yet to take her first steps, reached up and pulled down on the handle. Her shrieks rang out and the months to come were hard and sad for her parents, her eight siblings and for the child herself.
Over time, the fingers of her right hand healed in a closed position. Her brothers and sisters mused that my grandad often petted or favored her, not only because she was the last of his nine children, but because of her crippled hand. That baby was my mama.
Jake, my grandfather, was a sharecropper during the Great Depression and he and my grandmother experienced that life near the bottom of the economic ladder. Even so, my mom, almost without exception, remembered and relived her childhood in the most positive light. She adored her own mother and told stories of my grandmother's faith, work ethic, and sacrifice. Even today, my 87-year-old dad speaks highly of his own mother-in-law.
Fast forward to 1952, my dad, just back from his service in the Korean War, married my mom. In four short years my sister was born, then four years later, I came along.
Before I was old enough to go to first grade, (I was six and there was no kindergarten in our rural part of northeast Alabama) I remember hanging on the back of my mom's sewing machine chair and nagging her about when my sister would be home from school. I remember running through the clean sheets she hung on the line outside to dry and how they smelled like outdoors after she brought them in. I remember sitting on the countertop hovering over her while she made biscuits and waiting for her to give me a taste of raw dough. I even remember the shape of the old plastic bowl she used and how the crinkled wax paper looked inside the bowl. I remember helping dad clean the quail he had shot, then watching mom fry it in a black iron skillet.
I remember wondering if I could ever shell peas as fast as my mom could. I remember following mom around with my pillowcase cotton sack while she worked in a friend's cotton field. I remember being mom's helper when she cleaned out chicken houses for relatives and I remember receiving my first real day's pay for doing that job myself.
I remember accompanying her to tent revivals (although that is not what we called them), gospel meetings, funeral services, and to homes where dead bodies had been brought back for the customary amount of grieving time. And I remember going with her to take one of my cancer-stricken aunts for cobalt treatments.
I remember spending the day with her and my relatives cleaning the cemetery before "Decoration Day" in May and preparing food for the annual family reunion afterward. I remember mom reading a Bible story to my sister and me every night before bed, and then she would pray.
All those memories, and many more, were before first grade.
I wanted to be big like my sister and go to school, but I didn't want to leave mama. I, of course, did go to school and pretended independence. As I recall, I teared up when I got out of the car, but settled in okay for the mornings. The afternoons, however, were a different story. I missed my mama and I cried, albeit quietly.
Mama knew I was sad because I begged her not to make me go back. Instead of keeping me home, she sent a smooth-rimmed nickel and one small box of raisins with me each day. She told me to buy chocolate milk in the afternoon during snack time and to eat the raisins. And she said if I could go that long without being sad and crying, that she would be there very soon to take me home. So that became my goal. I would hold the nickel in my sweaty left hand and the raisins in my right. I wanted to sneak just one raisin early so mama would come quicker, but I knew that was cheating. So I waited. And when time came I gulped down a half pint of cold chocolate milk and ate raisins with a happy grin on my face.
Sure enough, she came.
Of course not all of childhood was so simplistic and there were rocky times. I do not pretend that life with mom was always easy. I was strong-willed and sometimes rebellious, so mom and I fussed a lot. Both of us were flawed, but we always loved each other.
Mom survived a major heart attack and two cancer diagnoses. Through those physical struggles she never stopped loving my dad, my sister and me, our families and her grandchildren. She was strong. Very.
Her last years and months were hard for her and hard for us. Dementia is cruel. Even near death though, God gave mom some moments of clarity and I am thankful to Him for those.
A few weeks ago, I hurriedly walked into Wal-Mart, then paused at the Mother's Day cards. For the first time in my life, I had no reason to browse through the options to find just the right one. It's amazing how nice people in Wal-Mart can be when they see tears in the greeting card aisle. Even through my tears though, I can put mama's life and death in a positive frame.
Mom often told us about how hard it was when my grandmother died. Mom was twenty-eight and I was almost a year old. She said she would feed me, then stand at the window with my sister hanging on her leg, and rock back and forth with me on her shoulder, and cry for her own mom. So while this Mother's Day feels heavy to me, I like to believe that it is the best Mother's Day ever for my mom. That she is embraced by her own mother and that Jesus is "gathering mama and grandmother under His wings like a hen gathers her chicks."
I wanted my mama in first grade and I want her now. After the chocolate milk and raisins are gone from my life, and because of the grace of Jesus Christ, I too, will join mom and the angels to praise God forever.
Mom's gravestone reads, "…away from the body, and at home with the Lord." What a blessing!
Thank you God, for my mother.

Holly shit, Jason turns five months in a couple of days. Five months! My mind doesn't have the ability to realise that i'm a mom of a five month old. And at the same time, this is all i love being at the moment, his mom 🙂
I clearly need to find a way to balance J's posts and design posts, or even make more of Jason's posts ahah. In a few days, we will start solids and both happy and terrified at the same time. We've been breastfeeding exclusively all this time. No bottles, no sterilising or pumping, he's been on me 24/7 and all i see is the beauty in it – zero exhaustion. But all of that will soon end, as we're starting to get into a feeding schedule and breastfeeding on demand will soon be no more.
Between all these emotions (us females can do lots of them at the same time) – i feel so very proud of my body for being able to feed a baby for 5 months. Being so petite, i never expected to give birth normally to a normal size baby and of course having milk during all this time. I've heard and read so many stories of mom's struggling to have milk or not having enough of it. I'm so blessed to keep going strong for him and hopefully for many more months.
I feel like i have learnt so much in this process and have grown and gotten stronger in so many ways. Oh how many articles i've read and how much help i've asked for. Know that there's always a way if there's will and determination. And of course, i am always happy to chat and share some of my experiences!

My poor old moggie Max was put down which was really more upsetting than I ever thought it would be. And after all the ball aches and mess around's and appointment changes RE my barium meal I finally had the ruddy thing done, but it took an age (my tum decided that was the day it would have a 'slow bowel transit'-couldn't have done that at my graduation could ya un-coperative bowel) and by the time I'd left the radiology unit day had turned into night and I felt like David in Flight of the Navigator when he wakes up in the boat in the dark and finds out he's been transported to the future.
This is probably far to much information than anyone reading this blog wants to hear, but I very recently stopped taking 'the pill' after 8 long years, due to The Other Bowel Problems rendering it quite useless, and being 'with child' is one more ball than I think I can juggle at the moment (although I don't juggle as such,just pass two balls back and forth between two hands).
For years I thought the pill was the only thing keeping my wild emotions sedate enough that I didn't kill anyone. But it turns out sans pill I am not as violently angry as I believed myself to be, belligerent yes.Pathologically violent,no.Well,maybe sometimes.
Although it turns out I'm even more tearful than I first realised. And highly strung.And emotional.
During a shopping trip to Brighton I cried in the middle of a restaurant. Steve was mortified. The waitress turned tail quick march when she spied me blubbering and the couple at the table next to us, at first thinking Steve was proposing in some restaurant with low lighting engagement scenario, quickly realised this was not that case and hide their acute embarrassment behind a bottle of Pinot Grigio. Poor Steve couldn't do the same as he'd only ordered juice and sat looking ready to bash his brains out with the pepper grinder.
My lovely buddy Skye (go read her blog,shes the most darling person I've ever met perhaps ever) had told me about The Angel Food Bakery in Brighton so Steve and I took a stroll down The Laines trying to dodge the hoards of exchange students who had chosen that day to descend upon Brighton despite the miserable weather.
Sadly no dice at the bakery as they'd sold out but do follow the link if you fancy pre ordering your own cupcakes (the non g/f ones looked yum-tastic so I've high hopes for the g/f versions).
I don't want to cast aspersions on lovely European people, but my god some of the exchange students were rude, I was practically thrown out of the way by one very rude mare in Starbucks who very nearly ended up with my skinny caramel latte in her lap.The only thing stopping me was that I had queued since the year dot for the ruddy thing in a line longer than the equator.
Anyway folks, I'm looking for some gluten-free recipe for future Twice As Nice posts and also for my Your Recipes tab so if you have some yummy yummy in my (or your) tummy recipes knocking around the place email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. it doesnt matter if they're non gluten-free as I can convert them easy enough (depending on what it is, I'm not Jamie Oliver).
Anyway my lovers, I hope your all fine and dandy, and 'hello!' to my new Katie-Boo Babes-I'd like to tell you that my posts aren't always so nutty, but that'd be a bare faced lie. Enjoy!
I'll be back at the weekend with the first edition of Twice as Nice,which I have long promised and have only just got round to doing. See you all then!

Ted DeVita
This article does not cite any sources. (May 2007) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Ted DeVita
Theodore David DeVita
|May 27, 1980 (aged 17–18)
Bethesda, Maryland, U.S.
|Cause of death
|Aplastic anemia, and transfusion hemosiderosis
Ted DeVita (1962 – May 27, 1980) suffered from severe aplastic anemia requiring him to live in a sterile hospital room for the last eight years of his life.
His story, along with that of Texas patient David Vetter, was used to create the 1976 made-for-TV movie The Boy in the Plastic Bubble. In the film, John Travolta played "Tod", a teenage boy who lived in a sterile bubble due to illness. DeVita was 14 when the film, unauthorized by his family, was released. In 2004, the story of DeVita's life, illness, death, and the lasting impact of these events on his family was examined in a memoir by his younger sister, Elizabeth DeVita-Raeburn, entitled The Empty Room: Surviving the Loss of a Brother or Sister at Any Age.
Ted DeVita was the son of NIH oncologist and researcher Vincent T. DeVita, Jr., MD, who diagnosed his son's illness in 1972. Severe aplastic anemia is a rare disease in which the body is suddenly unable to produce new blood cells and platelets. Its victims have no effective immune system and must be protected from infection. DeVita was admitted to the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center. While scientists and physicians tried all known treatments for his condition, DeVita was isolated in Building 10, in a "laminar airflow room". This specialized room on "13-East" had been created in 1969 to protect leukemia patients whose immune systems had been compromised by chemotherapy. Physicians hoped the sterile room and frequent blood transfusions would sustain him until he recovered spontaneously or an effective treatment was found.
The "laminar airflow room" gave DeVita a living space the size of a normal bedroom. He was able to walk around and participate in many normal activities, but could be touched only with gloved hands. He lived surrounded by plastic sheeting containing a door-sized space through which sterilized objects, including food, clothing, and books, and occasionally doctors and nurses, could pass in and out. He was surrounded by a "curtain" of air, a steady outflow of positive air pressure to expel potential pathogens.
His family recalls DeVita as a bright and curious boy who grew to be a strong-willed teenager. DeVita's emotional adjustment to the confinement and isolation was difficult. From a later review of medical notes, his younger sister, Elizabeth DeVita-Raeburn, learned the staff saw DeVita as alternately "hostile, angry, and cheery". Especially during the first year, he indulged in tantrums, throwing things out of the sterile area in his room, and creating a cavity in the wall to hide thousands of his hated pills. On the few occasions DeVita left his room, he was enclosed in a spacesuit and helmet, with an air pump that expelled pathogens. The suit drew so much attention that he rarely chose to leave. His sister remembers that the only time DeVita was not stared at was at a Star Trek convention.
Ted DeVita died in 1980 at NIH Hospital in Bethesda. His death was not primarily due to aplastic anemia, but was caused by iron overload from too many transfusions. Treatment for DeVita's disease is much more successful today, with a cure rate of up to 80 percent of aplastic anemia patients. Bone marrow transplants, transfusions, iron chelating regimens, and brief periods in positive airflow rooms are used in treating these patients.

Morgan Hill
We're back from a long weekend in Morgan Hill, which is just south of San Jose. We spent three nights at the Coyote Valley Resort, which is a pretty nice spot to call home for a few days. That's the view of the clubhouse and pool from our front window.
Coyote Valley was the site of this month's outing of our Winnie buddies, The Chardonnay Travelers. We were joined by a dozen or so Winnies and Itascas and their delightful owners for three days of fun and relaxation...and tons of food.
Part of the weekend fun included a girls trip to fabric and yarn shops in Morgan Hill. M didn't buy any yarn, but she brought home a quilt book one day and was so inspired she went back to Material Pleasure to buy fabric the next. (She gives this fabric store a big "thumbs up"!) With invaluable help from a couple of quilting gurus in the Winnie group, M selected these fabrics to create a "french braid" quilt for our bed in Bullwinkle. She's eager to get started on this new project. But, she's using starting this new quilt as incentive for finishing a very special quilt she's been working on for years. It's nearly done, so it won't be too long before our bedroom in Bullwinkle feels a bit more comfortable with this homey touch.
While M was shopping, P supervised an RV wash crew who gave Bullwinkle his first professional bath. We spotted the crew working in the park Friday morning and arranged to have them stop by on Saturday. The three-man crew completed the dirty job in less than an hour. Last Fall, we spent most of a day - and several back-breaking hours - giving Bullwinkle his first bath ourselves. It cost more dollars to have the job done by pros, but we saved ourselves time and - more importantly - many aching muscles.
After watching these guys work, we may leave the job to professionals from now on!
Bullwinkle proudly sported his KU flag all weekend, as the NCAA men's basketball tourney was also on our agenda this weekend. We brought a new DirecTV receiver from home so we could watch as much of the tournament as possible. But, unlike our old receivers, which worked like a charm on the road, we couldn't get this new one to find the bird in the sky. So, our tournament coverage was limited to just part of the KU-Michigan State game, which didn't turn out the way we wanted, but was a good game to cap off a great season. And, as far as we're concerned, that brought this year's tournament to a close.
We lingered in Morgan Hill as long as we could this morning, finally hitting the road just after 1PM. M had yet to captain the moose with the squirrel behind, so she took the wheel for her maiden towing voyage. The 70-ish miles back to Bullwinkle's place were smooth sailing as Rocky followed right behind.
Spring has definitely sprung here in the Bay Area. Flowers and trees are in full bloom, temperatures are on the rise and today's skies were crystal clear. On the way home we spotted swarms of bugs of all shapes and sizes enjoying the sunny, warm afternoon. Unfortunately, these first signs of spring meant that Bullwinkle's sparkling clean exterior was in jeopardy.
Splat, splat, splat! Bullwinkle will be in need of another bath soon.
Sometimes you're the windshield. Sometimes you're the bug.

English Inspiration: Mary Stewart & Me
As a child I was a voracious reader—and have only slowed lately in order to keep my mind clear for my own murder mysteries (i.e., I can't multitask). I read everything I could get my hands on—including some that were—in retrospect—inappropriate. Tom Jones and Brideshead Revisited went right over my head. Early favorites were the Oz books, Mary Poppins, and E. Nesbit's tales of magical adventure. If a book was deemed a "classic" I'd go for it on the assumption that it wouldn't be a classic if it weren't good. Except for Dickens, to whom I've never cottoned, that rule usually held.
I particularly loved romantic suspense and mysteries, especially British ones—Agatha Christie, Dorothy Sayers, Margery Allingham, and the novels of Mary Stewart (1916-2014). In fact, in my interview for college, I tried to pretend I only read heavy tomes on historical subjects, but somehow the subject of Mary Stewart came up and the professor and I had a marvelous conversation. I learned a lesson about human nature that day. Be honest: everyone else is pretty much in the same boat.
I checked Amazon for a list of Stewart's books and realized I read all but the last five of her romantic suspense novels plus the Merlin trilogy! From her first, Madam, Will You Talk (1957) to Touch Not the Cat (1976), I devoured them. Mostly set in Europe (Stewart was English), they usually feature an unsuspecting heroine who lands in a puzzling mystery. Along with adventure, you're assured of a fine romance as well. Some of you may remember the movie The Moonspinners, starring Hayley Mills.
Something else I discovered: Mary Stewart lived on Loch Awe in Scotland—a place I remember fondly. It is a picturesque small loch west of Loch Lomond. The Hotel Ardanaseig—a beautiful 19th century castle—sits on one bank. Its guest quarters are in the Rose Cottage up the lane. We stayed there on the last leg of a trip I took with my family. Imagine my delight to discover that one of Stewart's mysteries I hadn't read was entitled Rose
Cottage! I finished it yesterday.
Stewart's books inspired my current approach to writing a story more than any others. Like her, my heroines are feisty, my heroes clever and non-gooey, my settings exotic, and my mysteries cozy.

Band Performance Times & Official Pre-Party Also Announced For Florida's Biggest Rock Experience
Get ready on April 25th at the Palace Theatre in Canton, OH as the famed band TESLA will be taking the stage with special guest The Cringe.
Packing a catalog of charting songs, Tesla is always on the warpath of bringing you every show as a greatest hits package. They are also coming off with the recent release of their latest efforts "SHOCK." Which was released on March 8th.
It's been said that lightning never strikes the same place twice. However, it does in the case of TESLA the band.
Over the course of their thirty plus year career, the critically acclaimed iconic Sacramento melodic hard rock quintet—Frank Hannon [guitar], Brian Wheat [bass], Jeff Keith [lead vocals], Troy Luccketta [drums], and Dave Rude [guitar]— have sold more than 25 million albums and performed to sold out crowds across the world. Since the 2016 release of their album, Mechanical Resonance Live! which features a brand-new track "Save That
Goodness" produced by Phil Collen of Def Leppard, TESLA has been touring nonstop. They have shared stages with STYX, Deep Purple, Cheap Trick, Joan Jett, REO Speedwagon and have performed headline shows the past 2 years consistently. Their recent tours have further solidified TESLA as a live concert Tour de Force.
Developing their already high energy show into a modern production, the band has added multimedia visual screens to enhance the concert performance. "The visual enhancement is a new thing for us and it's made the band really play a tighter show. One of the songs, "What you Give" has a photo montage that shows us as youngsters and the fans have really enjoyed that!" Says guitarist, Frank Hannon.
In order to fully celebrate their 30 year plus history, TESLA not only performs their radio hits, but also includes a stripped-down acoustic set of "5 Man Acoustic Jam," which was the bands biggest selling album that spawned the unplugged trend of the 1990s. The road crew seamlessly strips the stage to reflect the intimate vibe of the guys' acoustic set. This includes a piano rendition of the song "Paradise," which has become a favorite of the diehard TESLA fan.
TESLA is performing songs from their Forevermore, Psychotic Supper albums as well as touching on a few deeper tracks in the show. Lead vocalist Jeff Keith's voice is still as raspy and soulful as it was in the beginning and the band prides themselves in performing live without the aid of prerecorded backing tracks.
The 21st century has become something of a renaissance for Tesla. Most recently, 2014's Simplicity bowed at #14 on the Billboard Top 200. The group ignited ABC's Jimmy Kimmel LIVE! in addition to scorching stages at
festivals such as Rocklahoma, Graspop Metal Meeting, and Sweden Rock Festival as well as the cruise Monsters of Rock! Remaining committed to philanthropy, they hosted a benefit for The Station nightclub fire in addition to playing a rally for the Sacramento Kings. They simply never stop. "I want people to feel like Tesla is still full of energy these days," concludes Frank. "That's it."
"This is a band we started in Frank's garage when I was 18, and Frank was 15," Brian leaves off. "I'm proud we're still standing this many years later. It's a pretty cool place to be. I'd love for people to think, 'That band has managed to stay in the game for 30 plus years, and they're still playing great shows and putting out quality music.' Now, just turn the music up when you listen to it. It was made to play loud."
#552 MTRS – Sheri Moon Zombie

Progressive sludge unit LORD DYING has confirmed a North American headlining tour. Scheduled to commence May 8th in Seattle, Washington, the journey will wind its way through more than two dozen cities and come to a close on June 8th in the band's home city of Portland, Oregon. Support will be provided by psychedelic doom duo Year Of The Cobra. See all confirmed dates below.
LORD DYING will be touring in support of their impending new full-length, Mysterium Tremendum, set for worldwide release on April 26th via Entertainment One (eOne). Captured at Los Angeles' West Valley Recording Studios in August of 2018 with producer Mike Plotnikoff (Fear Factory, In Flames), mastered by Howie Weinberg (Slayer, Nirvana, Pantera, Red Hot Chili Peppers), and swathed in the striking planetary landscape-inspired cover art of Steve R. Dodd, the band's first full-length in four years is a monolithic, riff-heavy concept album delivering eleven heaving tracks that explore the many facets of dying and what may or may not exist in the afterlife. Emotionally nourishing both musically and lyrically, Mysterium Tremendum's exploration of death goes far beyond the mere longing for it in order to see what lies beyond ("Lacerated Psyche" is about the death of guitarist Chris Evans' sister). There are endless layers to it; you might even find parallels between the record's concept and life itself. It's a journey. And in their quest to pursue death, LORD DYING has themselves found new life.
LORD DYING's Mysterium Tremendum will be released on CD, double LP, and digital formats. For preorder options and to stream latest single, " Freed From The Pressures Of Time," visit smarturl.it/LordDyingMT.

"…its slow build into soaring melodies and heavier sludge is extremely gratifying, feeling like a journey was accomplished over the song's runtime." – Decibel on "Freed From The Pressures Of Time"
"…full of emotional intensity and some of the bands most nuanced performances to date… This record is triumphant and powerful, the next step forward for a metal band looking to find their way after years of silence." — Two Guys Metal Reviews
"…its use of swelling melancholia during the two-minute introduction sounds like the prelude to demise, complete with hints of violin that seamlessly metamorphise into a new brand of LORD DYING sludge. Guitarist/vocalist Erik Olson's vocal range has expanded this time around, offering clear and refined death growls that complement the progressive and euphonious riffs." — MetalSucks on "Freed From The Pressures Of Time"

Motley Crue – THE DIRT (movie review)
By Dom Rini
I'm going to be brief and get to the point. This movie was taken from the Nikki Sixx book and was a pretty good representation of it. The chronological factors were about 70% accurate in my eyes but who cares what I think. I thought the movie flowed very well. The acting, as best as they could for these parts did a good job pulling it off. I enjoyed how they started the band up and all that good stuff, things people never really think about. It does take a lot of good chemistry to keep a band together and harmonious.
In my opinion I think MGK did a great job pulling off the Tommy Lee role. He looked so seasonal on the drums and played his character very well. Most of the times you were so sucked into the story-line that you forget they are just actors and its just a movie. Which was good, because I have a habit for over analyzing movies and commercials. The kid who played Skyler did a pretty good job and had me believing her. The sad parts where pretty touching.
I think if you are a fan of Motley Crue and want to see something fun for a change than check it out. It's worth it. Plus it had lots and lots of boobs in it! I wanted to see more Corabi material in it but hey you only have so much time to put into a movie. I recommend it!
4/5 Boobs Rating
Would really love to see this broke down into more pieces.
Check out Motley Crue's movie THE DIRT its everywhere but they say exclusively on Netflix.
Oh one thing that bugged me out was Mick Mars guitar. It was an Epiphone and not a Les Paul Custom. Must have been product placement. That's about it. Take an hour of your life and check it out. Had some good music in it. Oh one more thing. When Nikki was a little kid he destroyed his record collection and I saw a Kiss Dynasty record! That came out in 79. The scene was supposed to be 75 or something like that.

To determine whether retinal angiomatous proliferation (RAP, a subtype of age related macular degeneration, or AMD) is developed spontaneously without mechanical injury (e.g. subretinal injection) by conditional ablation of VEGF receptor-1 (VEGFR-1, or Flt-1) in the murine photoreceptors.
We interbred iCre-75+ mice (Cre recombinase expressed specifically in phtotoreceptors) with floxed Flt-1 mice. Cre expression in above Cre lines was identified by interbreeding with mT/mG mice expressing tomato/EGFP in all tissues. At 21days to 3 months after born, the fundi were observed in vivo by fluorescein angiography (FA) and indocyanine green (ICG) angiography using the Heidelberg Retina Angiograph. Histology was performed by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stainining and Transmission electron microscope (TEM). Cre expression in the iCre-75+ lines was identified by interbreeding with mT/mG mice expressing tomato/EGFP in all tissues; The sFlt-1 expression was analyzed by immunohisochemistry (IHC) and in situ hybridization.
Cre expression, as indicated by tomato deletion resulting in exclusive Egfp fluorescence, was restricted to photoreceptors in floxed mT/mG mice crossed with the iCre-75+ line. At 1-3 months of age, both homozygous (iCre-75+ flt-1lox/lox, 8/14 eyes, 57%, P<0.05) and heterozygous (13/24 eyes, 54%, P<0.05) photoreceptor-specific Flt-1 knockout mice (iCre-75+ flt-1lox/+) developed RAP, compared with 10% (1/10 eyes) of littermate controls (iCre-75+ flt-1+/+). RAP started from the inner retina (arising from retinal vessels) at early stage and invaded the photoreceptor layer, eventually anastomosing with the choroidal neovasculature.
FLT-1 knockdown in the photoreceptor layers by selective Cre/lox FLT-1 ablation can induce RAP in the early stage. The transgenic mice were developed in this study could be potentially used as a murine RAP model.

RAE (ray)
Rae: American actress and singer
You can take wonderfully talented actors, wonderfully talented writers and producers, and, uh, do a wonderful show!... but if it doesn't hit with the public in two minutes, it's bye-bye. ~ Charlotte Rae
Charlotte Rae (born April 22, 1926) is an American actress and singer known for her portrayal of Edna Garrett in the sitcoms Diff'rent Strokes and The Facts of Life, in which she appeared from 1979 until 1986. She received a Best Actress Emmy Nomination in a comedy in 1982. She also appeared in two Facts of Life television movies, one in 1982, and the second one, a reunion film, in 2001.
Rae was born Charlotte Rae Lubotsky in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the daughter of Russian Jewish immigrants Esther (née Ottenstein), who was a childhood friend of Golda Meir, and Meyer Lubotsky, a retail tire business owner. She had two sisters (one older and one younger), and graduated from Shorewood High School there. Rae attended but did not complete her studies at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois.
She was married to composer John Strauss, with whom she had two sons, and was divorced in 1976. She has three grandchildren.
A stage actress since the 1950s, she appeared in Three Wishes for Jamie, The Threepenny Opera, Li'l Abner, and Pickwick. In 1955 she released her first (and only) solo album, Songs I Taught My Mother, which featured "silly, sinful, and satirical" songs by (among others) Sheldon Harnick, Vernon Duke, John La Touche, Cole Porter, Rodgers & Hart, and Marc Blitzstein (who wrote the song "Modest Maid" especially for Rae). The album was issued on CD in 2006 by PS Classics. Also in the 1950s, Rae made several acclaimed appearances on the Ed Sullivan Show.
Her first significant success was in the sitcom Car 54, Where Are You? (1961 – 1963) as Sylvia Schnauser, the wife of Officer Leo Schnauser (played by Al Lewis). She was nominated for an Emmy Award for her supporting role in the 1975 drama Queen of the Stardust Ballroom. Rae appeared in early seasons of Sesame Street as Molly the Mail Lady. In 1964, she appeared in a commercial for Oil Heat. In the commercial, she was taking a shower, while telling people how wonderful Oil Heat was. At the end of the commercial, the announcer asked her if she knew she was on television, and she responded in her usual "trying to be sexy" voice, "Yes, I know!", then giggling softly afterward.
Other appearances on screen have included roles in The Worst Witch television movie and on the series Sisters, 101 Dalmatians: The Series, and The King of Queens.
In 2000, she starred as Berthe in the Paper Mill Playhouse production of Pippin (musical).
Rae Dawn Chong (born February 28, 1961) is a Canadian-American actress.
Chong was born in Edmonton, Alberta, the daughter of Maxine Sneed and Tommy Chong, a comedian, actor, writer and director. She was raised by her grandmother, Tommy Chong's mother. Chong's father is of Chinese and Scotch-Irish ancestry and her mother is of African Canadian descent. Her sister Robbi Chong is a model and actress.
Chong is known for appearing in the films Quest for Fire (1981), The Color Purple (1985), Choose Me (1984), Beat Street (1984), Commando (1985), Cheech & Chong's The Corsican Brothers (1984), and Far Out Man (1990), in the latter two appearing with her father. Chong won the Genie Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in 1983 for Quest for Fire.[4] Chong saw her most active period in films during the late 1980s and throughout the 1990s. However, she has continued to be active in television acting roles into 2007, and in film into the present.
Chong has been married twice and has one son named Morgan. Her second husband was actor C. Thomas Howell, her co-star in Soul Man. They divorced in 1990.
Comedian Stephen Lynch wrote a song about Chong entitled "R.D.C. (Opie's Lament)" on his album A Little Bit Special.
