Hi Mary!
Thank you so much for the delivery of the gorgeous basket. My Dad sent me pictures of it. He loved it and was very surprised!
I am so glad I found you online because it is wonderful to have local business to deliver gifts to my parents. Being in a different province certainly has it challenges. I will definitely use your company again!!
Thanks again!!
Mary, I gave a friend one of your wicker tea cup baskets, and she really liked it. She said it is the nicest basket she has ever received. Her and her family went through the basket for days. She mentioned the quality was just excellent and all the unique products you chose were awesome!
Thanks again.
I have used Mary's baskets for my wedding. We wanted gifts for my best man and her maid of honour. Not knowing what to put together, I gave her discretion to put something together. Both recipients were delighted.
Thank you for your creative baskets and for responding with so little notice for the gifts we had forgotten to plan for.
Meghan loved the basket and was very happy/surprised by it so you can chalk it up as a great success :)
Thanks again, I really appreciate it and hope to see you soon at one of your upcoming BNI meetings.
Mary has been creating & delivering amazing gift baskets to my clients for the past 4 years. Not only are the baskets beautiful and unique, they are also affordable & always well received by my clients throughout Ontario.
Mary is very personable, polite & professional when she delivers the baskets which ends up being a great reflection on me. Thanks for your great service Mary. Sincerely, Bill Richardson, Senior Financial Advisor
Mary, I know this is late, but I wanted to thank you for my mother's gift basket that you sent to her in Midland. She was very excited when I spoke to her on the phone and she liked it very much. She rhymed all the items in the basket off to me.
Thanks for helping to make her Mother's Day fun!
Mary, my relatives were thrilled and they both said the basket was just gorgeous!! Again, thank you! Nadia
Mary is absolutely fabulous. Her chocolate pizzas are just unbelievable. I strongly recommend Mary & BananaBaskets.com as a reliable, reputable company, not to mention delicious. Shane Serra, WSI We Simplify the Internet, Barrie, Ontario.
Dear Mary, I've written this recommendation of your work to share with other Linkedin users. Mary has been my "go-to" girl for all gift baskets for a few years now & she never disappoints. She has the most creative ideas for make-your-own baskets. I've purchased the "Mountainview" including the "wash bucket" and a "munchy basket".
She is very well priced, always works around your schedule in a friendly & professional manner.
#1 in my books!!
Mary, What I have written is not fancy but it is heart-felt. It is always a pleasure to work with Mary. She is extremely helpful in finding the right theme basket to match the occasion and is open to new ideas & suggestions when necessary. The baskets always look great and the recipients are happy to receive them.
That's a beautiful sympathy basket Mary! Please keep updating me with your new ideas. I am thinking of recommending you to my Pastor. We always send flowers to comfort those whom have experienced a death in the family, in our church, but I think a basket of yours would be a lot more comforting. Can you send me a complete on-line brochure so I can look like I know what I'm talking about. I will need a full price list as well. Thanks Mary!
A satisfied customer.

We appreciate so much that you will take our employees interests and hobbies into account and deliver a basket that is not only beautifully presented but also unique. Last minute requests never seem to phase you and you always rise to the challenge whatever the occasion or budget. Thanks for making my job easy Mary, Carol.

Alexandre Singh pulled off the surprise of the century by sweeping his then girlfriend, Catherine Letendre off her feet, all the way to Nassau, Bahamas and proposed right off the plane; she said yes.
Alexandre and Catherine had been together for seven years, most of which he traveled home from the States (where he works) on weekends to see her. They had always talked about eloping one day, in a private setting on a beach somewhere… but Catherine had no idea what Alexandre had up his sleeve this winter. The question for him was how to execute? Where to begin? How do you pull off a surprise wedding in the Bahamas when you're residing in Ottawa? Well the answer was simple- call Weddings InStyle!
"It all started with an idea I had for a romantic wedding in the Bahamas," Alexandre recalls. "After a few days of struggling on my own, I knew it would be hard to pull it off without help. I was a little overwhelmed withthe task at hand and I thought I wouldn't be able to make it happen."
After contacting Weddings InStyle, Alexandre explains, he knew it was in good hands and they could take his idea and turn it into reality. "They took care of everything," he adds, "from researching all of the legalities, finding an officiant, to taking care of all scheduling and payments setup." Not only did Weddings InStyle take care of the particulars, organizing and production, they ensured that it was still on track to the 'dream wedding' he was inspired to have for Catherine. "They listened to what I wanted and respected my budget," Alexandre said. They also provided great insight and feedback on little details that I would have overlooked."
From the flight to the floral arrangements to the wedding dresses, Weddings InStyle handled it all. They even bought two wedding dresses and had a seamstress in the Bahamas on stand by for any last minute alterations.
We wanted to give her choices, so we went with two different dresses that were shipped to the Bahamas so she could then pick one for herself. This way, Catherine could feel part of the decision making for her destination, surprise wedding. We also gave her choices for her flower arrangements upon arrival.
"They made the whole experience feel like I was working with a friend and someone who had my best interest at heart," said Alexandre. "The end result was better than what I could've imagined. I think they may have even made sure that the sun would be out in time for the ceremony!
"Thank you ladies for all your help and making me look like one of the most romantic guys in Ottawa."

Dear Parents,
We tried to email everyone but many emails were returned to us. So this is the next best thing. If you think of it, please send an accurate email address to Sister Shepherd at email@example.com
Hurricane Sandy is heading toward the boundaries of the New York New York South Mission. The mission has an emergency plan in place and we have been planning and preparing for this specific hurricane for many days. I am writing to update you on those plan.
Our plan is called Safe and Serve - Be Safe first and then go and Serve.
SAFE: As of Sunday night, we have moved all 27 Sister missionaries into the mission home with our family. We have food and water a plenty and beds for everyone. We also have access to a generator if needed. Our 2 daughters are loving this. The sleepover of a lifetime.
The subway and mass transit system closed down on Sunday night. Prior to its closing, we moved all Staten Island Elders into high elevation apartments in Brooklyn or Queens. We moved all other Elders living in low elevation apartments inland into high elevation apartments. Everyone is moved as of last night and we will all be in doors and safe to wait out the storm. Each missionary was instructed to purchase water and prepared foods for the apartments in case we lose power. In addition all apartments have first aid kits, emergency radios and cell phones. All cell phones will be charged continuously to prepare for a possible power outage.
We have a cell phone tree using text messaging set up through our District and Zone Leaders. All companionships report in via the "tree". We will have near real time updates on each missionary. My Assistants are bunking in the Mission Office where we have land lines and other supplies. The Mission Home and the Mission Office are set up as Command Centers. In addition, the local Priesthood leaders have set up an emergency hotline linked to google maps so we will know the location of anyone in need.
SERVE: We all have our work clothes and we will move out into the community after the storm to help with the clean up. This will give us a chance to work side by side with the local New Yorkers. Our missionaries know how to work and this service will be a great opportunity to represent the Savior and give back to our fellowman. We are here to save souls either physically or spiritually.
Most importantly, we know the the Lord loves our missionaries. We love them so much as well. He will keep them in the hollow of His hand and provide ways for us to serve. Sister Calderwood and I are honored to being serving along side some of the best missionaries to ever serve. Thank you for sending your sons and daughters to serve here.
Kindest Regards,
President and Sister Calderwood
New York New York South Mission

Issues to consider before you decide to outsource legal services
The term 'outsourcing' is commonly used when a law firm retained to do work on behalf of a client engages a third party to carry out that work.
Developments in technology and rising costs have led to an increase in legal services outsourcing (LSO). The services that are typically outsourced include discovery, document review, research, and/or drafting court documents.
The switch to LSO may pose a number of risks for legal practices, such as confidentiality, conflict of interest, competence and insurance.
Client confidentiality is a major concern with outsourcing. Rule 9.1 of the Australian Solicitor's Conduct Rules 2012 prohibit a solicitor from disclosing confidential information outside the solicitor's law practice.
An unauthorised disclosure of confidential information may lead to disciplinary sanction, claims for breach of contract, and/or injunctive relief disqualifying the lawyer from continuing to act.
If confidential information may or will be disclosed to an outsourced service provider, solicitors should obtain informed consent from the client before engaging the service provider. You may wish to consider including a client authorisation clause in your costs agreement.
Conflicts of Interest
Outsource providers often provide services to a number of firms. The outsource provider should ensure that the work they do for one firm is segregated from the work they might be providing for another firm engaged in the same matter.
Competence and Supervision
LSO also raises concerns about the competence, professionalism and reputation of the company undertaking the outsourced work.
Lawyers should properly supervise all work carried out on their behalf. Solicitors who use outsource providers are responsible for supervising the legal services provided to the client and are ultimately liable for the product of the provider.
It is recommended that solicitors consult with their professional indemnity insurance provider to ensure any contractual undertaking is covered by their insurance policy.
Although more firms are engaging in LSO, it continues to be a controversial practice. Clients who are concerned about privacy, for example, may choose a firm with in-office paralegals over a firm with paralegals overseas. Nevertheless, proper disclosure must be made even if this results in the loss of some clients. If proper disclosure is not made to the client you may be in breach of your fiduciary duties and your client agreement may be void.
If you would like any advice on outsourcing or client agreements, please contact one of our expert cost assessors on 1800 267 846.

Businesses that attended InnoTech carve niches in Vancouver
From Sean Lowry's perspective, business is good.
As executive director of InnoTech, a technology conference and expo for local companies, Lowry helps tech firms market their wares and evaluate the competition.
Each conference finds more firms that want to participate.
"I think the local tech market is getting stronger," he said. "There seems to be a lot of smaller, innovative companies basing themselves in Vancouver."
At the recent InnoTech conference, held at the Oregon Convention Center, Lowry saw a jump in the number of Vancouver and Portland businesses wanting a booth, as well as the number of attendees. Attendance rose to 2,000, from 1,700 last year. The number of vendors increased by 15 percent to nearly 100.
In the last four years, he has seen a 10 to 15 percent increase in the number of visitors each year.
Three local firms – Gekkotek, Earthquake Protection Specialists and Always Better Productions – hosted booths at InnoTech as a way to increase exposure. The firms offer a snapshot of how small tech firms are shaping the local business environment.
Gekkotek, which specializes in improving computer performance, rolled out a putting green at InnoTech to draw visitors to its booth.
Gekkotek was founded in Vancouver in 2003 and posted a revenue increase of 1,500 percent between 2004 and 2005. In 2006, revenues increased 300 percent. The company expects revenues to grow another 25 percent this year.
"We provide business technical solutions to small and medium sized businesses, to make sure they are utilizing their technology to its fullest," said Valerie Reamer, owner of Gekkotek.
The company advises on hardware and software. Reamer said a client's infrastructure is analyzed to determine if the software is appropriate for the use. In some cases, she said, companies "just need to know and understand what they own." And in other cases, new software is required.
"People will implement untested changes and make changes they don't understand the ramifications of," she said. "We bring them up to speed on any new technology. People really like our message."
Earthquake Protection Specialists
Earthquake Protection Specialists
Kris Ritton, owner/president of Earthquake Protection Specialists, said he relies on "word of mouth" and appearances at trade shows to generate sales. Earthquake Protection sells stabilizing equipment that prevents computers and servers of all sizes from being damaged in an earthquake.
Ritton said he looks for clients such as architects and engineers, who will incorporate his company's earthquake safety equipment early in the design process.
IT managers, chief financial officers and chief information officers are all potential clients.
"I'm pushing the architecture and engineer angle, because those people are making decisions for companies about data centers," he said. The company's revenue gains in Oregon and Southwest Washington have doubled every year since 2004.
Always Better Productions
Always Better Productions
Craig and Nancy Roblewsky came to Vancouver five years ago, after launching their video business in South Dakota. That market, it turned out, limited the videographers to shooting mostly weddings.
Since moving to Vancouver, they said their "bread and butter" has been shooting video to promote businesses.
"Streaming video on websites is the hot thing," said Nancy Roblewsky. "They can go to a streaming video on a website and get an accurate picture of a business."
The company also does longer promotional videos, or "video brochures," that businesses can give to prospective clients.
"The whole point is, you can hear about an eye doctor and you can hear about a restaurant, but this way you can go and meet them and go inside the office or restaurant," she said.
The videos are found on www.videoinformationnetwork.com. The company also does still photography, but no longer does weddings.
"We're trying to target the business market," she said.
Roblewsky said the company's revenues increased 40 percent between 2005 and 2006 and expected this year's revenues to increase 65 percent.

Even if you don't pay much attention to reproductive rights, it's hard to avoid news about Texas. Over the past several years, the Lone Star State has made national headlines for passing particularly harsh restrictions on abortion that have shuttered dozens of clinics, sparking a complicated legal battle that threatens to make its way up to the Supreme Court.
This rapidly changing landscape isn't just confusing for media outlets, which are constantly re-tallying the number of clinics that remain open depending on the latest court decision. It's also created a serious knowledge gap among the real people who live in one of the country's most expansive states.
"They'll say, well, I heard on my local news channel that my local clinic was closed because of the law, so I thought all of the clinics were closed because of the same law," recounted Amanda Williams, who serves as a board member for the Lilith Fund, a nonprofit organization that helps pay for low-income Texans' abortions. "We hear it on our hotline all the time. We hear from our clients who say, until I found this number or until I found my local clinic, I didn't know I could get an abortion, I didn't know abortion was still legal."
I had one patient who came to me and actually asked if the police would arrest her if she had an abortion.
Dr. Kumar, an abortion provider in Texas who doesn't feel comfortable printing his first name because of the contentious political atmosphere in the state, now has to reassure his patients that they're not breaking the law.
"I had one patient who came to me and actually asked if the police would arrest her if she had an abortion," Kumar said. "She was very concerned. It sounded like a family member or someone in her life had told her that abortion was not legal. It was the first time in my few years providing I had heard of that before."
It's not really Texas residents' fault. Williams pointed out the reaction actually makes logical sense; it's hard to wrap your mind around a state law that would allow some clinics to remain open and force other clinics to close. Most people going about their daily lives don't have time to study up on the complex legal nuances of the ongoing case in Texas.
"The average person who isn't ardently following Texas politics may see something on TV about the law, or about an abortion clinic closing," Heather Busby, the executive director of NARAL Pro-Choice Texas, said. "They may not think about it until it comes up in their own lives and they need to make a pregnancy decision. And then they're not sure where to go."
Making matters worse: According to Busby's organization, which closely tracks the right-wing crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) that work to dissuade women from choosing to end a pregnancy, CPCs now outnumber abortion clinics in Texas.
CPCs typically look like regular health clinics. Often, they even have names that closely resemble the facilities that offer abortion services, so if patients run an online search for a clinic, the CPC will also pop up. It's often hard for patients to tell the difference — and that's the whole point. Making contact with patients who are considering abortion, and attempting to steer them away from that decision, is the central strategy behind this arm of the pro-life movement.
It's really shocking… They're lying to women and delaying the care that they're trying to get.
Thanks to the already complicated landscape in Texas, crisis pregnancy centers' misinformation tactics can be even more effective there. When pregnant women call or visit these fake clinics hoping to get information about abortion, and CPC employees won't provide them with those resources, it can leave them with the impression that there aren't any doctors in the state available to perform a pregnancy termination.
"From my experience answering calls, people will say, 'I called a place I thought was a clinic, and they told me they couldn't do abortions, and they couldn't tell me who does abortions.' They're just not giving them the information," Williams said.
Anecdotally, Busby says she's heard stories of some CPC employees going even further and claiming that abortion isn't legal, or that it's only permitted up to eight weeks. Her organization has also documented instances of CPCs misleading patients about how far along their pregnancy is, and attempting to postpone patients' first visit and schedule follow-up appointments for weeks later so that their pregnancies stretch on.
Kumar sees abortion patients every week who say they accidentally contacted or visited a CPC first before eventually making their way to his clinic. "It's really shocking, some of the stories patients tell us about their experiences at these places. They're lying to women and delaying the care that they're trying to get," he said. "Most patients don't know these aren't licensed clinics with medical professionals working there. They believe what they're hearing."
As reproductive rights proponents in Texas grapple with this reality, they're trying to figure out what they can do to cut through the misinformation. Along with Shift, another Texas-based nonprofit working on issues related to abortion, the Lilith Fund and NARAL Pro-Choice Texas recently launched a comprehensive website to point Texans in the right direction. With the help of a particularly straightforward URL — needabortion.org — the site details everything a pregnant person may need to know about accessing abortion services in the Lone Star State.
The home page of the site borrows some language typically favored by crisis pregnancy centers in an attempt to connect with patients who are desperate for information:
Visitors will see directions to all of the abortion clinics currently operating in Texas, the phone number for Shift's confidential hotline, and information about all of the nonprofit funds that may be able to provide financial assistance for the procedure.
The site also provides simple answers to the logistical questions surrounding Texas' complicated law. Yes, abortion is legal until 22 weeks after your missed period. No, your Medicaid plan will not cover the cost of the procedure. The clinic may ask to see a government ID, but won't ask for your immigration papers. If you live less than 100 miles away from the closest clinic, you will need to make two trips there to fulfill the state's waiting period and counseling requirements.
"Most people are saying, thank goodness this is here, I'm so glad there's something so simple and so straightforward," Williams, who is also affiliated with Shift, said. "I think this campaign is guided by our belief that this information is a human right. Nothing should prevent someone from getting the information they need to have their health care in their own hands."
Nothing should prevent someone from getting the information they need to have their health care in their own hands.
The coalition behind the new website hopes to start distributing their materials in public places — for instance, stickers emblazoned with "needabortion.org" plastered on the walls of local bars and restaurants. Reproductive rights activists in other countries like Ireland have also relied on this type of guerrilla advertising to direct women toward online resources about safe abortion.
Dr. Kumar is glad that local activists are finding ways to get the right information into the hands of Texans. But he worries that the problem requires a much bigger solution.
"In an ideal world? Defunding CPCs so that patients aren't given incorrect medical information would be ideal. I don't know if that's going to happen anytime soon in Texas, but that's what we really need," Kumar said, pointing out that these right-wing centers are propped up with taxpayer dollars that could be redirected to real medical providers.
"I always worry about the patients who don't make it to the clinic at all," he added. "Those are going to be the patients who are more marginalized — patients of color and patients of lower socioeconomic status. That's who these laws hurt the most."

King George V (1865-1936)
King George V reigned from 1910 to 1936. The onset of the first World War ( 1914-1918 ) was a difficult time for him because he represented England, which stood on the Allies' side of the war, while many of his relatives were German and on the opposing side. Because of this great conflict, he chose to give up all of his German titles on behalf of his people and changed many of his relatives' German-sounding names to English-sounding ones.
One such name might be familiar to you. The name of Prince Louis of Battenberg, the king's cousin, was changed to Louis Mountbatten. He was the father of Lord Mountbatten after whom Mountbatten Road was named.

Prince Khusro Revolted against his father Emperor Jahangir. But when he could not face the large army of his father he ran towards Kabul. On his way he met Guru Arjan Dev ji at Tarn Taran. The Guru Welcomed him and offered him and his hungry associates meals in the free kitchen. the Governor of Lahore at once informed about this to king Jahangir. When Jahangir Heard about it he made up his mind to annihilate Guru Arjan Dev ji. to help the rebellions had always remained a sufficient reason for the punishment of the helpers. Jahangir himself was a narrow minded person in the religious affairs. He was against the religious preachings of the Guru Arjan dev Ji. In his autobiography Tuzak-i-jahangiri he clearly writes:
"In goindwal which is on the bank of reiver beas, there was a hindu named arjan, In the Garb of sainthood, he captured the fancy of the simple hindus and even the igronrand foolish Muslims. They called him the Guru and from all the side the stupid people flocked to worship and render the complete faith in him. For three or four generations, they had kept their shop warm. Many times it occured to me to put a stop to this vain affair or to ask him to embrace Islam."
Such was the thinking of the jahangir even before he bacame the King. From the above writings of King Jahangir it is quite evident that kind himself was agains the house of Guru nanak. So he sent for him at Lahore. Before Leaving Amritsar Guru Arjand dev ji knew what is going to happen at Lahore, so he bestowed Guruship on Guru Hargobind and also advised him to adorn himself with weapons and to make his sikhs brave soldeirs and saints. He said, " we cant face these cruel rulers remaining as Faqirs"
At that time the age of Guru Hargobind was merely of eleven years. But though he was young in age, he was very brave and benevolent.
At the time of adoration of Gurgaddi, When Baba Buddha ji offered him the sacred headgear he refuse respectfully and wore a turban with a very precious plume preapred specially for the occassion. Then He asked baba Buddha ji to bring a sword. Bab Buddha broght one sword and in confusion put it on the wrong side. When the Guru noticed it he asked to bring an other sword. He said," I will gird two sword,one sword of shakthi the power and other sword of Bhakthi(Meditation). So in this way Guru Hardoign combined in him peeri (Renunciation) and Meeri (Royalty). From that day the Guru advised his sikhs to get themselves armed and to offer him only the weapons and horses, He said, " Those sikhs who will join our army would be trained in the modern type of warfare, they would be given clothes twice a year and free meals in the kitchen."
When the sikhs came to know about this, thousand of them joined the Guru Army. They enjoyed the celestial music in the morning and evening and got training of arms in the day time. They Took Part in all types of the games and also went to the jungles for the game of hunting. the Guru Selected fifty two brave sikhs as his body guards. When some Pathan soldeirs were shunted out from the royal army, the Guru Ji enrolled them in his army, They Trained the sikh soldeirs and perfected them in the Mughal Warfares. So the Guru's Army became competent in handling all types of weapons. The Guru constructed akal takhat in front of Harimandir Sahib in order to settle the disputes arising among his sikhs. He appointed bhai Gurdas as the first Jathedar of the Akal takhat. the Gur Said,"This Akal takhat (Throne of timeless) Will be used to give justice to my Sikhs. This throne will be used as official Secretariat of the sikhs. When Guru Ji sat on this throne, he wore beautiful saffron dress and adorned his tubran with an attractive plume. He also ordained that in future after hold the 'sodar Chauki' the vaars of the great warriors would be sung at the premises of the akal takhat.

Does ferric carboxymaltose improve symptoms in patients with chronic heart failure (HF), reduced left ventricular ejection fraction, and iron deficiency?
Randomized placebo-controlled trial (Ferinject Assessment in Patients with Iron Deficiency and Chronic HF [FAIR-HF] trial). ClinicalTrials.gov NCT00520780.
Blinded (patients and {treating physicians}†).*
24 weeks for efficacy outcomes and 26 weeks for safety outcomes.
75 sites in 11 countries.
461 patients (mean age 68 y, 53% women, 82% New York Heart Association [NYHA] class III for 459 in intention-to-treat population) with chronic HF (NYHA class II or III), left ventricular ejection fraction ≤ 40% (NYHA class II) or ≤ 45% (NYHA class III), serum ferritin level < 100 µg/L or 100 to 299 µg/L if transferrin saturation < 20%, and hemoglobin level 95 to 135 g/L. Exclusion criteria were uncontrolled hypertension, other clinically significant heart disease or impaired liver or renal function, and inflammation.
Intravenous iron (ferric carboxymaltose), 200 mg, given weekly until iron repletion and then every 4 weeks up to 24 weeks with dosing adjusted for iron metabolism and hemoglobin levels (n = 304), or saline placebo (n = 155).
Included self-reported Patient Global Assessment [PGA] scale, NYHA functional class, 6-minute walk test, and quality of life (QOL; Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire [KCCQ] and European QOL-5 Dimensions [EQ-5D] visual analogue scale, both with score ranges 0 to 100, and high scores = better QOL). Safety outcomes included hospitalization and death.
90% (intention-to-treat analysis).
At 24 weeks, ferric carboxymaltose improved PGA rating (Table), NYHA functional class (Table), and QOL (KCCQ mean score 66 vs 59, P < 0.001; EQ-5D mean score 63 vs 57, P < 0.001) more than placebo, and increased 6-minute walk distance (mean 313 m vs 277 m, P < 0.001). Groups did not differ for hospitalization or death at 26 weeks. Improvements in PGA ratings and NYHA functional class were similar for subgroups of patients with or without anemia (P = 0.98 and P = 0.51 for interaction, respectively).
In patients with chronic heart failure and iron deficiency with or without anemia, ferric carboxymaltose improved symptoms and quality of life.

Good Grief
Yes love.
This week.
Yeah, but what day?
They don't know.
The doctors can't tell you that?
A million moons ago, sometime in July, began the influx of house guests. They came to party primarily, and say hello, and for my mom there was also the added benefit of a high school reunion. At some point in this initial seizure of good times, my grandmother was hospitalized for dehydration.
I suppose no one ever foresees this kinda thing, but in that bout of institutionalization came MRSA. Followed by organ failure. The day my mother was to drive west for a few days of wine and old yearbook hilarity, we had a conversation in my kitchen about DNR's where I suddenly found the following words leaving my mouth, as though my lips were possessed by their own small wee brain:
I know all situations and doctors are different, but when we were at Children's . . . . . There's a lot of gray area in there between "yes" and "no." You can give them a half-assed answer, there's a lot of wiggle room . . . .
Under what circumstances does a daughter tell her mother these things?
For a while, grandma was "stable." And anyone with time clocked in the NICU knows "stable" simply means "not plummeting in a death spiral at the moment." It does not mean "good," or even "better." She wasn't eating. She recognized a vase from her china set when I brought in flowers. Me not so much. Because of the infection, we all had to suit up, and I had to wear gloves just to touch her.
There is no comfort in latex.
After stabilization came a stint at the nursing home, and decisions were made about hospice. There was no time line, but it was understood that she was seriously compromised and the next step -- whether in days, weeks, or even months; whether a small stumble or a flying headfirst leap -- would be her last. Plans were made to dislodge the house guests.
And then hospice called: we could expect only days. Flights were changed; my brother madly hopped on a red-eye.
And after dinner on Monday I drove out to the nursing home to say goodbye.
Did you touch her?
I touched her hair. It was so soft. She's not in pain, she's very peaceful. She didn't talk. She looked like she was sleeping. I told her you loved her.
It was deja vu all over again, sitting in a dark nursing home room, listening to her shallow, long breaths. Her eyes were closed, she may well have been sleeping, and I sat not knowing what to say. Again. A life so short, I couldn't possibly cram everything in versus a life so long I couldn't possibly cram everything in. I left it at I love you. Awkwardly hunched over a bed, this time with no suiting up but strict instructions to wash my hands very well afterwards. Some things never change.
My brother's plane touched down at 8:19 a.m the following morning; Grandma died at 8:00 a.m.
Bella, Grandma died.
Oh. Will we bury her?
Can I help?
Pieces of conversations slammed me: "We're going to the funeral home. I have no idea how long it will be; I don't know what they do there." I do. But I decided not to regale them -- they'd find out soon enough.
The funeral director offered to include ashes in the casket, and apparently there was a whispered conversation between my aunt and Mr. ABF about Maddy's remains. We were touched, but opted no. Grandma will be buried at her church, where she's been a member for 40+ years -- a move I couldn't argue was more perfect for her. It is not perfect for us.
The burial was Friday, a private affair, just immediate family plus one family who will not be there for the memorial service next week. Plus since my dad can't lift, we needed another pallbearer. We stood in the hot noontime sun, my aunt, my mother, and I wearing grandma's jewelry we had laid claim to the day before while sorting through her apartment. We went to a brew pub afterwards and drank and ate. And that evening, we all dissolved in tears.
Can we visit Grandma?
Next week at the memorial we will. And later this fall we'll plant flowers, ok?
It has been an incredibly long month. We've had uninterrupted house guests since July 29, and more are on the way this week. I have been in constant motion since July 27 or so, always planning the next 48 hours. I am exhausted.
For Bella's birthday my father gave her a fish tank, and since that fateful day, we've been through (I am not making this up) 8 fish. We finally realized the primary goldfish we bought was aggressively trying to make meals out of his/her compatriots, and then sadly the last partner we brought in brought disease with. Before the major cemetery ceremony, we had a few in the back yard. Until that got old.
Do you want to bury Lily in the yard or flush her so she goes back into the water?
Flush her. I'll do it.
Poor kid has overseen 9 burials in the past four weeks. The silver lining is that although there have been tears, there has been only honestly, no mincing of words, no euphemisms. No hiding, no secrets, no lying. No finding a babysitter. She has asked great questions, she understands perfectly that we will never see grandma again.
Mom, can you get another grandma if yours dies?
No love. No you can't.
Sadly, I know exactly where she's going with this.

Oh Tash.
I read this and thought and "no garden to find peace in".
I haven't got much good to say, other than to tell you that Mr. Spit and I care and we hope and pray that things will get easier soon, and you will have some time and space to process all of this.
And tell poor Bella that I went through 35 fish in 2 months, and guppies are much hardier.

I am sorry. These have been tough tough weeks. I can only hope that the service next week is everything you need, and that after that your little family can have some quiet time.
About the fish: We seem to have inherited an uber-tank. As in, it takes special kind of neglect to kill the fish in this tank. It's a good thing, given how very non-regularly the poor fishies get attention around these parts. And I wish you that kind of luck with the next batch.

- debbie said...
Tash, I am so sorry. I had no idea that you have been going through so much these last few weeks.
I know part of the reason family comes in and out of your house so much is because it is just assumed somewhere along the way that your family is strong and the right place for everyone to gather. No doubt, that's partly because of the fact that you are such a rock. I just think that while you are being so strong for everyone else, including Bella, please make sure to take some time for yourself and let it out and/or fall apart when you need to.
I'm here if you need anything.
Thinking of the whole ABF family.

I am glad her passing was peaceful and that you were able to tell her you loved her again. It sounds, from what you have written, that she had a good life and that she had quite a family in all of you. And somehow, in my head, as I read your words on not knowing what to say, I thought, 'well done', as in nicely played, does that make sense?
And the fish...ugh. Maybe try a Beta, they are solitary but usually hearty.
I hope the memorial offers more comfort to all of you as you remember a long life and lots of happy memories of what sounds like a remarkable woman.

Oh, Tash, just so so sorry. Nine burials in four weeks? It is a lot, for anyone. But her questions, her earnestness, and really her bravery, Bella sounds like an amazingly insightful and wise child. You make me contemplate how I will answer those questions when they come up. Thank you.

A link through a link through a link from Nat's "Relaxing Doesn't Make Babies" page and here I find myself utterly absorbed in your post...and then your blog...for the past hour.
Much to my surprise I was shocked when I started recognizing references to my local area, which is Philly. I hope you don't mind another tag-along...it's refreshing to read someone real and down to earth. My thoughts are with you and your family.

You are truly an amazing and gifted
woman. Your strength and passion are so clearly portrayed in your writing. The depths of your sorrow are felt by all that read your blog. Thank you for sharing with friends and strangers, my deepest sympathy to you and your family in the loss of your loved ones.
I am an art teacher in the Midwest.
I was trying to find information on
Keith Haring. Your thoughts and insight on this artist were so
profound it lead me to read more on your blog! You are an inspiration.

MORE deepest sympathy...
but maybe I can help you on the fishie disasters - until the biological filter is established (roughly 30 d), water quality can be very tricky & I suspect that's what's killing Bella's goldfish... & of course the smaller the tank, the harder to maintain - if you add more than 1 fish/5 gal the ammonia levels shoot up! (talk about "death spirals") If you could convince her that mollies or swordfish were just as good, they are actually hardier specimens!
[Confession time: we retired Z's too-small 5 gallon tank; after a span of a few successful weeks, the rising death toll just got me down. The bigger the better for aquarium maintenance, but I can't take on the responsibility of a 50 or 75-gal tank at this time!]

Sigh. Bella is a deep thinker and it's so sad a child has a grasp on death and what the reality is. I'm sorry about the loss of your grandmother. It's amazing how things just spiral out of control. My friend died from a flesh eating bacteria that gained entry to her body through a paper cut. From one tiny thing to dead. You know that too well.
And I absolutely agree with the "stable" comment. I have had to use that many times, sometimes after doing a code for an hour and the baby finally comes back. It means there is a heartbeat and the patient is not currently actively dying at this precise second. You ask the same question 5 min later and you might get news of a collapsed lung, blood clot, leg turning black, flat line on the EEG. Bah, I hate that you know this. Really, really hate it.

The weather was glorious and visitor numbers exceeded all expectations.
Wisley trials which showed a small shed and vegetable plot, with lots of perfect picked produce. Check out these pumpkins...
The display was so charming, and it even came with a resident robin. He flew in whilst they were setting up on Wednesday and came back everyday. He had definately marked his territory. He also liked to swoop up to the other end of the marque to feast on the berries on the Woody Plants display (much to their annoyance!)
It was a great family event, with pumpkin carving and Autumn craft activities. Here is a small friend with his fab 'Shrek' pumpkin!
Our stall fitted in well with all our fruit, vegetable and flower designs. We met some lovely customers and made very good sales. We only have three of our shopper bags left in stock now!
The RHS staff are fantastic and were all so helpful. After a week with a sick child, and a school craft fair on Thursday evening, i was extremely tired, but it was such a pleasure to be involved in and i really enjoyed the whole experience. The only sad thing was that we didn't get to meet alice c... we almost did.. but it wasn't to be. Maybe another time.
I'll leave you with a picture my youngest did after collecting some leaves a few weeks ago... This is for Louise at thisismypatch.
owl, moon and tree.
Have a great week.

Website Development and Marketing
By image size i mean the file size not the visual dimension of the image, height and width that sort of thing. I am referring to the amount of memory the image uses in bytes that has to be transmitted to the end user. Though dimension does play a part in file size in so much as the larger the images dimensions the larger its file size. File size can be decreased without drastically change dimention.
Why You Should Reduce File Size
Why you would want to reduce file size, i'm glad you ask, the single most important reason is load time. One of the main problems with web sites is load time. Load time is the amount of time it takes for a website to fully load or more importantly for something to appear on the page. This problems is primarily caused by the size of the images on the page. Why is load time so important... good question. Load time is the number one reason a web site fails to turn a profit. People as a general rule are impatient and that is an extreme understatement. There are endless other sites that offer similar products, services and information as yours site and if you make visitors wait they often leave. Another reason is that if a page takes too long to load especial the home page visitors may assume the page is broke or not working and hit the back button. This is very common of visitors clicking threw from a search engine. The most important reason in my mind is search engine like fast web sites. They load quickly and it makes there results look good so fast site do well in search engines.
When to use GIF and When to use JPG
The two most common file formats for images are GIF and jpg. GIF will Produce a crisper smaller file size for images that have very few colors in them commonly referred to as "color pallet", cartoons, logos, text and other images with a small color pallet do well in GIF Format. JPG images are best for images with a large color pallet and lots of gradation of color such as photographs.
Compressing Images
jpg is easier than GIF to compress though there are ways to do compress GIF's the easiest way is just to reduce the images dimensions. Many image editor will give you the option to choose the number of colors in the color pallet the fewer the colors the lower the file size. jpgs are the simplest images to compress. Any good image editor will ask you what quality you wish to save a JPG image as. If it still looks good at low quality it will have a much smaller file size, the lower the quality the smaller the file size the faster the image will load.
Here are two great tools for image compresion:
Dynamicdrive.com online image optimizer makes it easy to optimize images.
Pixlr.com online image editor for those of you who can't afford expensive commercial software this is about the best product available.
One of my favorite things to tell new customers is "the only one who really cares what a site looks like is the site owner". No one wants to hear it but it's true. As long as your web site looks professional and is fast thats all that matters. Your profits will go up as your load time goes down.

(Sigh of relief) On Tuesday I moved into my new place. The school organised a mover and a truck to assist me. My Korean possessions can be summed up to one suitcase of clothing, two boxes of random crap, a table, two chairs, a bed and a closet. Not much I know, but nonetheless what a mission to carry all of it down 4 flights of stairs. Jeepers. And to make things even funnier, the mover guy and I could not understand each other. It was a challenge, because I did not know when to lift, or to turn left or anything. It reminded me of that Friends episode with "pivot" (). In no time we had everything loaded onto the truck and off we went on our treacherous journey to my new place. I mean 800 meters, phew! Got there and got everything settled into my new place. Nicola and I moved my room and started to unpack. We didn't finish because we got hungry and tired. I didn't spend the night at my new place because the school still has to get me a fridge, TV and washing machine. So until I have all my goodies I will remain a guest at Nicola's! During this whole moving thing I started to think about Korean culture and how some of the things annoy me and others amuse me. All part of the culture shock I guess. Now Koreans do not wear shoes in their houses. So if you keep your shoes on in a Korean home it is a sign of disrespect. Because Koreans do much of their living on their floors (they sit on the floor when eating, they sometimes sleep on the floor), their floors are always clean. And also you never know in what kinds of crap you step in on the pavements. Koreans spit everywhere. And not just spit, I mean they go in deep to get everything out! When my furniture got delivered to my fist apartment the delivery guys took of their shoes whilst holding a heavy closet. It is imprinted in their being! They do not wear shoes indoors. So on Tuesday when the mover helped me with my furniture he did not take off his shoes. Not in my old place and not in my new place. There can be many reasons for this but in my mind, taking the Korean culture into consideration, that was a major show of disrespect. And that is something that I have also noticed in the Korean culture, there is no such thing as "you get what you give". They expect everything from you but are not always willing to do the same for you. And it is understandable because the History of Korea shows you that this country has almost always pulled on the shortest string. Japan and China has invaded this small country countless times and tried to take over. Then the Korean War happened and so many people were displaced. Koreans have a history of always of being disregarded. Therefore now in times of democracy it still comes across as if they have to prove themselves. I don't know it just seems a bit ambiguous. They advocate the pureness of their culture and how they are the supreme race. I read somewhere that 1 in 5 Korean men pay for sex on a regular basis. And the worst part is that they make no attempt to hide it. There are VIP salons everywhere. "Come cut your and get a happy ending". Nicola and I asked one of her co-teachers about these VIP places when we passed one and her reply was "this is bad bad place where all the bad people go". So is a quarter of the population "bad"? Also Korea is one of the top destination countries for human trafficking. Many Russian woman and eastern European woman are lured in to coming to Korea under the impression they will get a lucrative job. Wham bam! These woman are forced into prostitution in this oh so holy Confucius country. Another annoying Korean attribute can partly be ascribed to their history but mainly due to the fact that almost 50 million people are squashed into an area that was meant for 20 million. Korea is a small country and much like an island. Because South Korea is bordered by only North Korea the only means to leave the country is by boat or plane. Korea is an Island. And Koreans have small islander syndrome. They permanently bump, push, cut in line, shove, etc. In this overcrowded country its not about how old you are or if you were fisrt. Its about getting done what you want to do in the shortest possible time. At our orientation one or other Korean dude said something about the difference between Koreans and Japanese. Japanese will always read the instruction manual fist and follow the instructions step by step. Koreans on the other hand will try to figure it out without the manual and always try to speed up the process. Now Koreans describe this as Dynamic Korea and the fact that they are very efficient. I just call it impatience. They are very impatient. But its their way of life!
Some of the aspects of their culture that amuse me include the fact that it is considered rude to blow your nose at the dinner table. This creates a few problems. Korean food is spicy as hell and causes a runny nose. Second Koreans stuff their faces, and spit food out, and chew with their mouths open and speak with food in their mouths so that you can actually witness a part of the digestion process – but blowing your nose is considered rude! That just made me smile. As a foreigner in this oh so foreign country we get many many stares. Children are always excited to see us and immediately blurt out the limited extent of their English "Hallo, How are you, nice to met you". But the older folkies, they're the ones that give you the uncomfortable glare. Do they look at you because you look different from them, or do they look at you because they are secretly cursing at you in their mind. And although in the beginning it was quite funny it is starting to get on my nerves now. So my remedy is to just stare back. And the staring quickly stops! It makes them very uncomfortable I guess! But its fun and it is something to kill time on the busses and the subway!
Korea is a mystical place that never seizes to amaze me. Confusing but amazing!
Cheers from my dodgy Korean Alley – oh no wait, I moved!

Information is an essential input to national development. The modern library has great responsibility in harnessing and utilization of
information. The library and information centers strive for high quality of library services which emphasis the actual delivery of information
rather than actual delivery of documents for meeting their generics as well as specific needs of the users.
Our college encourages every student to use the library that has been carefully built up since the inception of the college. Standard text
books and books by author of repute in all fields taught at the college are stocked. The college follows a policy of buying multiple copies of
many of these books to make them available to a large number of students. There is no question of budget approval when it comes to the buying of
books. Thus students are not likely to be handicapped for want of reference material at any time. The library is well equipped with a good
collections of 20,000 books for issue and references in varies disciplines along with national and international journals, audio, video
cassettes, CDs of selected topics are made available to the students to enrich their knowledge.
The central library is mainly for the use of faculty, students and supporting staff of the institution. Faculty members and students can borrow books and reference books.

Advantages of Orthodontics
A visit to the dental practitioner for the vast majority of people is frequently to treat dental infections with a methodology like root canals. Orthodontics, in any case, is a branch of dentistry that goes well past the treatment of diseases. It fixes dental issues that come about due to misaligned teeth. It primarily manages the shape, size, and position of the teeth. Some individuals have crooked teeth basically because the tooth developed behind another. Other people have projecting teeth that make it difficult for them to close the mouth successfully. The issues are of a significant number. However, with orthodontic medications, they ought to be an easy fix. This report explains some of the advantages of orthodontics. Here's a good read about best orthodontist in austin, check it out!
Orthodontics furnishes people with a lot of advantages. These advantages are not constrained to the corrective appearance of the teeth. There are likewise protection measures that accompany the treatments. However, this is only possible if the procedure is done sufficiently and that is the reason why it is crucial to get yourself to a reliable and experienced dental specialist. This is the only time that you will get the chance to appreciate advantages of orthodontics as explained below. To gather more awesome ideas on Moody Orthodontics, click here to get started.
When the teeth are not adjusted correctly, there is an incredible danger of having maybe a couple of them getting chipped. A small force can make the tooth crack or to harm you in ways that you can't start to imagine. With orthodontic medications, you can have those misaligned teeth came back to their correct position. Hence reducing the risk of damaging the teeth.
Misaligned teeth make it extremely difficult to maintain an appropriate level of oral cleanliness.

With orthodontics, you get the chance to clean your teeth without much trouble. This helps an individual to reduce chances of contracting some of the oral diseases. Kindly visit this website https://healthyliving.azcentral.com/how-to-get-free-orthodontic-care-12162660.html for more useful reference.
With an orthodontic issue, you should discover ways to chew such that you don't bite yourself and in the meantime, you don't swallow food that isn't eaten correctly. This puts a lot of strain on your jaws and the joints since they need to embrace positions that they are not intended for. Orthodontics can treat the issue and lessen the stress on your jaw muscles and joints.
The last benefit of orthodontics is that it helps an individual with crooked teeth to have an improved self-confidence. By aligning the teeth correctly, an individual can smile, and this helps to make an individual to look nice and hence boost their confidence.
