Oh, Juno. Now you've done it.
I've been thinking about breaking up for a while now. And your post has really gone and done it, I think.
(Martha Flynn, you shouldn't read this. You're not ready.)
It's time to get rid of cable.
Now, I'm not going to go whole hog, like she did. She's actually giving her TV to Michelle (which was a pretty funny Twitter exhange to witness in real time, actually), and I still have plans to watch shows sometimes, things on Hulu, movies on Amazon and iTunes. But it's just kind of ridiculous to have the whole computer system that Lala set up (an Apple Mini, so we have a hub, right there, at the TV), and not utilize it the right way.
I don't watch much TV. Maybe five hours a week, which is even less than Lala does. But I really, really, really enjoy those five hours (even though I'm famous for pausing the show and walking away eleventy-billion times during every show to do something Very Important That I've Just Remembered Needs Doing). That's so not worth the cost of cable.
I could be hanging out with family more. Reading more. Watching more movies.
It's time. (I'm SO NOT THINKING about the fact that Big Love just started. Can you get that on iTunes?)
What do you think?

Dallas Stars (21-16-1, 43 pts) @ Nashville Predators (21-14-4, 46 pts)
7:00 PM CT, January 5, 2012
Bridgestone Arena, Nashville, Tennessee
The easiest way to rile up a Stars fan right now is to mention the name "Adam Pardy" in conjuction with the word "defense" or "lack of defense". In his first year with the Stars, Pardy has looked 1/3 lost, 1/3 confused and 1/3 just plain bad. A good clean waste of $2 million. Luckily for the Dallas folks is that Stephane Robidas should make his return from his injury tonight. With the recent callup and play of Jordie Benn, that should push Pardy out of the lineup and into the 7th defensemen spot which is definitely where he belongs. Unless Gulutzan just isn't that sure about Benn, then Pardy would be in the lineup, but Stars fans can all pray that isn't the case.
The lack of defense is what killed the Stars in their last game, a 5-4 loss to the Detroit Red Wings. Without Robidas and Sheldon Souray, the Red Wings ran rampant over the Stars d-men. Kari Lehtonen had an amazing first period but just couldn't hold on for the rest of the game. He let in some easy goals that a first string goalie just should never allow. He was giant target in a free-of-obstacles shooting range for the Wings. The Stars offense (Read: Eriksson-Benn-Ryder) was all that kept the Stars in this game or it would have been an easy blowout.
Dallas gets a bit of a break tonight as they travel to play the Nashville Predators. The Preds shouldn't be able to skate circles around the Dallas like the Wings did, but one never knows how the Stars will play as they've been a true roller-coaster of a team.
The bad news for this game? It looks like the Preds will be getting Shea Weber back from a concussion, which he might have suffered the last time these two teams played, 6-3 win for the Stars. The Preds have been a bit of a rut since then. While they have won three of the four games since playing Dallas, they havn't been easy. Two of the games went into shootouts while the third game they won was a 5-3 offensive outburst.
The Preds have had a bit of rest. They haven't played a game since New Year's Day so it should be Pekka Rinne back in goal for the Preds tonight. The Stars were able to run him out of the game the last time these two played soooo maybe it can happen again.
Kari Lehtonen should be in goal tonight. Dallas will be without the services of Sheldon Souray (ankle), Philip Larsen (concussion-like syndromes) and Tomas Vincour (knee). Robidas is listed as questionable but by all accounts it looks like he's a go.
The Preds look to be without Colin Wilson (upper body) tonight. Weber should be back from his concussion.
Game Feed:
- The Preds are 11-6-3 at home this year. They have won 7 of their last 8 home games.
- Dallas is 9-9-0 on the road.
- In the last 5 games, Nashville has been 13 of 13 on the penalty kill. Their power-play in that span of time has been 2 of 18. Their only two goals came in the game against Dallas.
- There's been one guy for Dallas that has been absolutely on fire lately, Michael Ryder. Ryder has scored a goal in seven of his last eight games, including his two goal effort against the Wings. He has eight goals and three assists in that stretch. He, Eriksson and Benn have been the only guys recording consistent points lately.

Anyway, my problem with it is that it reinforces the "Python is a scripting language for amateurs, not suitable for large scale / systems programming" attitude. I think Python demonstrates that there isn't much tension in reality between the 'advanced programmers' and the beginners -- both seem to want a simple language. And as you say, the argument about dialects is more important anyway. Other than that, excellent stuff. John

San Jose, Calif. Sure, it was the main man, Brandon Rush, who snapped awake just in time Thursday inside HP Pavilion to take over offensively late in Kansas University's 61-58 survival job against college basketball's ultimate fighters, the Southern Illinois University Salukis.
Still, Kansas doesn't advance to the West Regional semifinal without the Saluki-style efforts of eighth man Darnell Jackson and ninth man Rod Stewart.
This was as much a cage match as a basketball game. That's the way Jackson and Stewart prefer the game be played. The junior reserves aren't only built like football players, they think like them. They play the sort of in-your-face basketbrawl the Salukis threw at KU for 40 minutes.
They would fit in perfectly for SIU, the West Region's No. 4 seed, which lost despite forcing 19 turnovers, limiting Kansas to one three-point field goal and one scorer in double figures and despite the Jayhawks' potentially fatal flaw - free-throw shooting late in games - resurfacing in such shockingly ugly fashion.
In the final 5:38, Kansas players not named Darnell Jackson made four of 11 free throws. Jackson made both of his, with 1:44 left, to push the Kansas lead to four points.
To make too big a deal about those shots would be to underestimate Jackson's overall value. He never begged for a whistle. He doesn't like whistles. He likes contact.
"I'm tired," Jackson said from his locker-room stool. "It was tough."
SIU made it that way, and so did Kansas with its untidy play.

NCAA Tourney: KU vs SIU
"They were good," Jackson said. "They were good. They were real good, especially (Jamaal) Tatum. Man, his shot is crazy. He hit some big shots for them."
Jackson delivered shots and took them. Body shots.
"I had fun out there," Jackson said. "They were physical, hitting everybody. Everybody was diving on the floor. Their team was great. They like to get their noses dirty, and that's what I like. I like to play against guys who aren't afraid to get hurt. It turned out to be a great game."
Jackson stepped in front of a pass to Randal Falker for a huge steal with just more than four minutes left and Kansas leading by a point. Jackson shared the team lead with five rebounds and made all three of his field-goal attempts.

And he made the team awaken. Late in the game, shortly before Rush (12 points, 6-for-6 field goals) awakened, Jackson yelled Rush's name, glared at him, and commanded: "Come on!" Rush came on, all right, and Kansas is one victory away from advancing the Final Four for the first time since 2003.
Stewart, who came in averaging 5.8 minutes, played nine valuable ones. Immediately after springing off the bench in the first half, he took a charge. Then he hit a lane jumper. Later, he soared for an offensive rebound that prolonged a possession that ended with him driving to the hoop, getting fouled and making one of two.
"The charge boosted a lot of energy in me," Stewart said. "It was good to make a jump shot too, but I love defense. That's something I really enjoy doing, taking a charge."
Kansas took a hard charge from SIU, and the outcome that could have gone either way went KU's.
Three down, three to go.

Hey look, I am still alive been a while since I've made a post here. Been real busy, between work, play, and buying a car.
That's the first thing I'm here to post – I bought a car got rid of the old Nissan (to the right) and bought an 02 Acura RSX Type-S (down a bit and to the left). Thing fucking rips. I wanted a Z28/Trans Am, but I fell in love with this thing when I got in the driver's seat. It's only a 4cylinder, but with Honda's i-VTEC technology, the motor's rated at 198horsepower/142lbft. And then there's the gearing – 4.77 final drive ratio, it's geared like a hotrod. The top end F-bodies I was looking at only had 3.73 gearing. Ironically enough the EPA rates both vehicles for the same highway fuel economy – 28mpg with 91 octane fuel. One of these days I'm going to see how well it runs with 93, since 91 is so ridiculously hard to find.
Thing fucking flies too. With its redline at 8000, and the VTEC kicking in around 5800, even with the real low gearing it maxes out at a normal speed in each gear. In 4th I can exceed 100, and I've still got two gears to go after that. I'm considering having the transmission modified come springtime, see if I can't have the ratio lowered on 6th a bit. As it stands I'm revving ~3700 at 80mph, if I get that down to 3300 or so I'll see a pretty sizable improvement in fuel economy, which is important for me. Besides, I can always just use 5th when I want to accelerate moar.
That aside, there isn't much to tell – that's why I haven't posted much. I got smashed and went trick or treating on Halloween, dressed as a pirate. Thanksgiving has been and gone without anything that eventful that I'm at liberty to discuss.
I have found that I really hate fixing laptops though. My buddy Chris has been subbing out work to me, and aside from all the driving (which I really don't mind), the job mostly entails fixing laptops and printers. Printers I don't mind so much – I hate printers in and of themselves, but fixing them really isn't bad. Laptops are a pain in the dick though. Especially motherboard replacements. Looking at at least an hour for these, compared to 15-25 minutes for most printer repairs.
Spore got a bit boring. The space phase was fun for a while, but I just lost interest in it after a while. Which is rather depressing, because as far as galactic conquest games though it was actually a lot of fun – which says a lot for galactic conquest games. I thought I'd love it, unfortunately it seems I was mistaken.
As a result I've mostly been playing a lot of WoW, especially since Wrath of the Lich King came out. At this point I'm about halfway to 76 – I went strong for the first week or so but I just haven't been playing much since around Thanksgiving. After everything that went on that weekend, I just haven't been that interested in playing WoW. As a result I've been very bored.
I got Rock Band, which is a lot of fun when there are people around – the problem is people aren't generally around that much during the week. Which is where the problem lies anyway.
Wow, this really seems to have turned into a depressed-sounding rant…not really sure how that happened. Anyway, I'll cut it short – I saw Role Models with Anthony and Brianna on Sunday, which was very funny. I'm not going to review it, but I advise seeing it, it was very funny

The body of a 42-year-old Denver man was retrieved late today after he fell to his death Saturday afternoon on a treacherous ice climbing route on Thatchtop Mountain in Rocky Mountain National Park, park officials said.
The victim was found at 10:15 a.m. this morning, but efforts by the 25-person rescue team were hampered by the terrain and winter snowstorm. They finally got it to the trailhead about 4 p.m.
The name of the fallen climber has not been released.
Park authorities received a cell phone call at 2:30 p.m. Saturday reporting the fatality on the "All Mixed Up" ice climbing route above Mills Lake. The man was part of a two-person team, and the other climber was uninjured.
The route is steep with loose ice, talus and unconsolidated snow. It sits about 1,200 feet above the lake and is closed while recovery teams complete their work.

Happy INDIEpendence Day and a Special Offering
Happy 4th to my US friends. I hope you are going to have fun spending some time with family and friends. I wanted to take a quick moment and let you know that LACRIMOSA (second edition) is now out in the world!
I am so excited to bring you the book at a great price - Just .99 for the ebook in mobi (kindle) or ePub (nook) formats, and 12.99 for paperback.
Here is a little more about the book:
Nesy is the best of an elite group of angels, warriors called Sentinals, charged with one job—vanquish the UnHoly. She's never made a mistake, never gotten emotionally involved, never failed.
Until she comes face-to-face with Aydan.
He is evil incarnate. A fallen angel that feeds off the souls of others. Everything Nesy is supposed to hate. But she can't, because he's also the human love of her life; a love she was never supposed to feel.
Now she must choose between doing her duty or saving Aydan, a choice that will cost more than her life...
Or his soul.
You can get the book on Amazon and Barnes and Noble, with wider distribution coming in the next week.
And remember, the book INCLUDES the Requiem novella, Dies Irae. Get your copy today. And if you already have it, get another one just to have the beautiful new cover and see the subtle changes to the story!
Libera Me will be available in about a week and will also be offered for a great price.
Enjoy the day!!!

They died after about three years of use, but they were treated pretty badly. I bought a set of I believe 15 mile range Motorola. I havent actually used them much since I bought them two years ago. The few times I actually ran a radio since then, they did pretty good. The Cobra's were a bit more user friendly in my opinion. I ran them with the FireFox throat mics. I liked those mics fairly well, but the wire pulled out of the ear bud fairly easily. So if you go for those, be careful. On the GMRS/RMS remember they are line of site. So if you are in the mountains or rolling hills or thick forrest, they arent awesome no matter what range the package says on it...

I've tried a number of FRS and GMRS radios. GMRS and FRS share several frequencies, the difference is GMRS has a higher power limit, so it can transmit further. Since every radio I've seen of these broadcasts at the maximum allowable power for their classification, in my experience the performance has been so close that none seem better than the others. From my point of view it all comes down to features - what has the easiest to access controls and convenience of things like rechargeable batteries included, and charging bases, those kind of things. FRS radios are license free. Operation of a GMRS radio requires a license which costs about a hundred bucks, though the license is not required for purchase, and the odds of getting hit by lightning are probably much higher than getting caught using a GMRS radio without a license.

"Zombies" will overrun Gallows Hill Park in Salem as Halloween festivities get underway
AMC's Walking Dead has got nothing on Salem.
The annual Running Dead - Zombie 5K returns to historic Gallows Hill Park this Saturday. Part zombie apocalypse and part 5K race, with elements of flag football sprinkled in, the event is a great way to kick off the Halloween season in Salem for fitness enthusiasts and the animated undead alike.
Participants run the 5K course as "runners" or "zombies," and proceeds from the event will go to benefit the North Shore Medical Center Cancer Center in Salem.
Runners will try to navigate the course with zombies giving chase, and lurking behind trees, rocks and bushes waiting to attack. Zombies eat "brains" by snatching flags off of runners. Once a runner loses all of his or her flags, they are "dead."
Registration is currently closed, but all are welcome to join as spectators, and to join racers at The Lobster Shanty on Artists' Row for zombie-themed cocktails and their famous "brains" on a cracker at the The Running Dead after party at 8 p.m. DJ Alvis of Decade and VuduDJ of Darq Salem will be on hand spinning tracks that even a corpse can't help but move to.
For more information and to view pictures and video of past years' Running Dead events visit the Running Dead website or Facebook page.

Clamped fins bottom sitting
November 10, 2010, 12:13:56 PM »
Kissy is sick. She's sitting on the bottom of the tank & her fins are clamped. She hasnt eaten today & wont move from her spot
My filter went out night before last I realized it yesterday morning when I did weekly water change. Poor fishies in that nastiness for 8 hours (possibly). 50% water change again today & used a fungus tab. Hoping that does something for her. Any other suggestions?
Also wondering:: I got a bigger filter & set up in their tank ( filter is for a 60 g & their tank is only 40) wanting to get bacteria started in it b4 the big move to new home. Only let it run for 10 hours cause it did cause a good bit of current etc.. Could it have gotten their tank too clean? Cause too much current & exhaustion?
I ran the new filter for 10 hours then turned the old 1 back on & this was the night it went off while we were asleep.

Did you test your water for ammonia, nitrite , pH and nitrate levels before you did that big water change?
If it were me I wouldn't treat for a fungus unless I see there is one.
As far as filtration goes, it won't weaken a fish unless it is already weakened from stress.
I think testing your water is a big clue to what is going on.
Is it a new tank recently set up?
Your fish could be sick/poisoned from new tank syndrome, high spikes of ammonia or nitrites.
Please test your water and post the test results back here.

Minde is right.
If a fish is sick or distressed, not normal acting, there is rule No 1: TEST THE WATER FOR AMMONIA, NITRITES, NITRATES AND pH
before doing anything like treating for an illness which may not be there.
We don't take antibiotics just to be on the safe side, because if they ARE needed they wouldn't work because certain microorganisms became resistent to it.
Get yourself a freshwater test kit (no strips please, as they are not accurate) like API MasterTestKit. And when you go to the store, grab a water sample and get it down there and have it tested ASAP. Please post the numerical results back on here

After reading it 500 times on THIS forum I don't see a 50% water change being considered BIG! With an over populated tank I MUST do water changes more frequently to prevent my fish dieing however it is normally only a 25% water change with a 50% for emergency such as Kissy being sick & if my levels are way off. I;m sure they're stressed lately with the more frequent water changes & mating(bullying) going on. Can not remember the #s from my a.m. water change today in the mayhem of trying to help my Kissy by changing water, looking online for answers & calling the Vet I forgot to record the parameters in my fish journal
I know the ammonia, & both the Ns were off. If the water was normal I wouldnt have changed it
I used the Fungus tab (1 tab=low dose) as a last resort as directed per Fishpert until she could check her out after hours. Happy to report it did something as she finally started swimming a little by evening
The final diagnosis was exhaustion from high currents in the tank & breeding & a touch of ammonia shock. Still not sure how in the world they doctor a fish but I feel much better now.
Finally made the move to the 60 g. tank tonight:) Introduced Kissy to it 1st & let her enjoy a half hour by herself. Silly girl didnt act sick at all , when the rest started joining her she quickly reverted to her clamped bottom sitting ways. I'm about to decide she's unsociable now. They seem happy at the moment & are enjoying all the room to swim. I was reminded to put the top on when Monster did a nice little flip. He cracked us up.
Stating NOW before its asked to save ya'll the time "reminding" 60 g has been cycled for over 6 weeks, parameter reading this evening PH- 7, Ammonia- 0, Nitrite- 0 ,Nitrate-1, GH- 250
Will be testing again each evening until I'm satisfied the tank will be good for all occupants
Thank ya'll for the concern of everyone's fishes.

Some believe in 50% waterchanges, some don't.
My personal opinion: Do waterchanges according to your waterchemistry, sometimes it is more often, quite a few times per week.
But at the same time I recommend a regular waterchange which should be at least once a week. It MUST NOT be 50% each time, but it is recommended by quite a few aquarists. Others recommend 30%.
It also depends on the filter and filtermedia, on the population. Therefore testing is the most important, also knowing your fishies. They'll "tell" you straight away when sth is wrong.
Basically even for the most experienced aquarist keeping fish will always be a challenge and you'll never stop learning.
Glad to hear that Kissy is recovering and your waterchemistry is pristine

I always test my water before adding anything and before doing any water changes too.
Your test results will tell you how big of a change or if any change is necessary.

The ideal thing would be changing 50% twice a week, that way the water quality wouldn't deteriorate, but WHY change that much if it's good in the water tests anyway?
So I believe in the rule of 50% minimum (anything less for me won't make any difference either way...) but more if the nitrates are high.
But now, you moved the fish to the new tank, and I believe that it might have been smarter to let Kissy be alone in the new tank, just for a day or two
That way, not that it's any problem, you would make sure that the bio filter would be ready for the load of at least one fish, as far as I understand, it's been without fish during cycling, and unless you move maybe 2-3 fish at a time, the filter MAY become over loaded. But as long as things look good, you don't need to worry
These things are all precautions.
Keep an eye on Kissy though, you never know how weakened she got by the stress, so she could, in the worst case, get some bacterial/fungal infections.

Thanks again ya'll. Hectic day when your fish are ill. I apologize if I came across as crass my nerves were on end all day. Kissy is my fave sweet girl not sure I'd enjoy my fish without her. That's bad to say as I do love them all her sweet smile & bubble kiss in the morning make me have a much better day:) I'm hoping there'll be no more water issues now that the gang are in the proper size aquarium. fingers crossed it all stays good in there & we can have a normal biweekly cleaning. & not have to do any major water changes.
Yes Nossie you're correct tank was cycled fishless so if I understand correctly thats means I have at least another month of "laborious" water issues as it adjusts to accommodate changes due to fish waste? Unfortunately I've already gotten all 5 fish in the tank together so Kissy can't enjoy being alone. I think I may put her in a 10g by herself for awhile. I just need to rehouse some guppies so I can move her in.
It can get overwhelming reading all the conflicting information online & different pet suppliers don't know which way is up sometimes LOL. 1 thing like about this forum is the knowledge base available & folks that agree fish can communicate what their ailment is. I've gotten lots of good advice & ideas on this forum alone. Ms. Hanna has gotten me interested in planting some live plants too. Think I better get the hang of fishkeeping 1st though lol.
Hanna, thanks 4 calling my water pristine lol after the trouble I've had waiting on the bigger tank to cycle its nice to hear just once
Maybe we can keep it that way. When the mansion is finally complete I dont believe I'll be doing anymore 50% changes that's a LOT of toting buckets lol. Not sure which part of filter is the media but the new tank has a power filter with a triple action filter with carbon & bio- fiber. What pet supplier recommended for the 50 g.
Kissy update she was active this a.m. but after her afternoon snack she retreated to her little hole she's "dug" & has been sitting on the bottom since. No amount of encouragement will get her to come out either. My mother came by to see the new setup & thinks she's made a nest & is laying eggs. Not so sure about this.

I think it'll be just fine if you'll just be testing the water daily for a few days now
Change some of the water when needed!
And it would only be more stressful for Kissy (and for you) if you'd start moving her around now, so just leave them all be and you can move her to her own tank in case she'll be getting chased around again
(I love her name by the way!
Bottom sitting can be caused by a number of things, since water quality is ruled out, she's probably just tired after being chased around by the others
I bet she'll be just fine with some rest!
Will you post photos of the new setup later?

So sorry you lost your fish.
Test your water...you might have to change some water out.
A dead fish can make an ammonia explosion in the tank and the bacteria will have trouble keeping up!

klari: I'm sorry for your loss :C Do you have a water test kit? Buy one if you don't, make sure it contains tests for pH, ammonia, nitrite and nitrate and use it whenever any of your fish are acting strange
How long have you had the tank up? How big is it, and how many fish?

Sorry you lost your Ladybug,Klari. Test your water again if you havent already. Could've been a water issue or perhaps she was exhausted . Have u done a current test? My Vet did 1 in my old tank & the current was much too strong for my gang. The power filters seem to be a problem in my area at least. Hope the rest of your fish continue to thrive. Big hug for you dear.

Wish I could have something as colorful and cute
And your little goldies look so cute in that tank!
Did you think about buying a background poster for your tank?

That intake tube on the filter is way to high for the goldfish tank. Should be about 2 inches from your substrate or you will have alot of water quality issues to deal with. Do you have an extension for it?
Is that the only filter or do you have another one that I don't see for that tank?

That's so lovely!
It's great that your fish are so energetic!
Those posters aren't very expensive (I forgot how much mine cost...), and they will cover up any cables behind the tank
At the same time as giving the setup a more natural look

Health co-ops hit center stage with few details
Published 4:00 am, Tuesday, August 18, 2009
The spotlight has turned to health care "cooperatives" following hints over the weekend that the Obama administration might be backing away from a government-run option as an essential component of the effort to overhaul the health system.
Health co-ops have emerged as an alternative to the controversial public plan because they aren't controlled by the government, but could offer a competitive marketplace for affordable coverage. The powerful Senate Finance Committee, which has yet to release its health reform bill, is reportedly considering the option.
Co-ops are nonprofit, member-owned entities that could operate on regional, state or national levels, negotiating rates with providers for the benefit of the members. Beyond that very vague description, little is known about exactly how health co-ops would operate and whether they would satisfy supporters of the public option.
Several lawmakers say a public option is required if health reform is to succeed, but some health care experts contend it's too early to determine whether a cooperative - which would ostensibly operate under more government regulation than the current marketplace and be offered in place of a public plan - can't accomplish the same goal.

"It all depends on what rules are put in place about who is eligible, how provider reimbursements and premiums are set and how the 'thing' - whether a public plan or co-op - is governed," said Marian Mulkey, senior program officer with the California HealthCare Foundation in Oakland.
California offers examples of health plans that function similar to cooperatives, though it would be difficult to predict the success or failure of co-ops based on the state's experience.
"California has some really positive examples, though not identical but very similar, to cooperatives," said John Ramey, executive director of Local Health Plans of California, which advocates on behalf of eight local nonprofit, publicly governed managed care plans in the state.
Ramey points to his group's members - which include the San Francisco Health Plan, Alameda Alliance for Health and the Contra Costa Health Plan - as examples of nonprofit entities that compete with private insurers for Medi-Cal members. "They've operated very successfully and competed with commercial health plans," he said.
A key difference is that these plans are not member owned, which is part of the definition of a cooperative. In addition, the plans are limited to those on Medi-Cal, which is the state-federal health program for the indigent.
Theoretically, the plans could be expanded or additional co-ops could be created nationally, by states or within regions to include people not covered by government programs, said John Grgurina, executive director of the San Francisco Health Plan.
"Could California work with us to fill in other areas and come up with a co-op structure to offer that is an option in an exchange? Absolutely," he said.
An exchange is another important element of the health debate. It is a marketplace in which people could obtain or buy health coverage - be it a private plan, a public plan or a plan run by a cooperative. Both the House and the Senate versions of health reform include an exchange.
Grgurina led a small-business health insurance exchange for California, which was run originally by the government but later by a nonprofit organization.
It operated for 13 years, but the statewide purchasing pool, known as PacAdvantage, eventually went bust in 2006 after the number of insurers and workers dwindled, leaving the exchange with a relatively unhealthy and expensive population.

Everyone who knows me is aware that I LOVE TO TRAVEL.
It doesn't matter how near or far, by what means of transportation, or how long we are staying away. Give me the word and I'll be packed in a flash and ready for the adventure!
I hope some of the lessons I've learned during fifty years of travel will be of interest to you.
There appears to be ongoing debate about how to pack our clothes.
Bundling? Rolling? Flat?
I found bundling really annoying unless everything was going to be unpacked immediately. In that case, it might be a good choice for some but I don't find it saves much space. Looking for items in a bundling-packed bag didn't work for me.
My preference is to pack flat and tuck shoes around the edges of my case. I also like to use the plastic vacuum bags for t-shirts, sweaters, beachwear and lingerie. They allow me to put more in my bag but be careful not to use too many or your bag may be overweight. The air gets squeezed out for more efficient packing but the weight of the clothes remains the same. I learned that lesson the hard way!
I always pack an extra plastic vacuum bag to bring home laundry and one of those fold-up-into-nothing duffel bags I can use on the return trip in case my retail therapy gets out of control!
Clear plastic baggies are my choice for toiletries and travel jewelry (never take your good baubles!) and other small items, such as electronics. That way everything is easy to locate and it also keeps most of the customs officials in a better frame of mind ~ less 'stuff' to unpack and repack.
In the last few years my husband and I have tried, as often as possible, to each travel with a carry-on and a computer backpack, the latter having room for cameras, tablets, etc. I'm amazed how well it works – particularly if we are going to be staying where laundry can easily be done. We find it's such a freeing feeling to have all we need when we get off the plane and not have to wait around for luggage.
If we are moving on to more travel by train or ferry, we are always glad to be unencumbered by more bags.
Remember you can take only small quantities of gels, creams, toothpaste, etc. I'm not going to talk about those. We buy what we need when we get to our destination.
The following is my basic packing technique.
The first thing I do is make a list and decide on a colour combination. I generally stick to black, white, and one bright colour of bottoms in the summer and black and gray for colder climes.
For a two week basic trip (spring/summer/fall) with no sports involved and laundry access – 5 bottoms (wear one on plane), including one pair of jeans and one pair dress slacks, 2 tops per bottom (most of which will work with all bottoms), two sweaters, one light dress, one shawl (can be dressy), one all-weather jacket with hood (which I may end up carrying on the plane). 7 pairs undies, 2 bras. 2 light pjs. 1 crushable hat. If I think I will need it, I will pack one bathing suit + sarong. Flip-flops for beach. Walking sandals or running shoes. 1 or 2 pair of casual/dressy shoes. On the plane I wear comfy flats. One fold-up umbrella.
Travel to cold places or in winter, calls for different planning and we always end up taking one suitcase between us, as well as our carry-on. Trips that involve tennis, golf, etc., have their own special challenges. I'll leave that for another time.
With cell phones becoming so versatile these days, there are some items we used to pack (flashlight, gps, dictionary, travel guides, maps, alarm clock) that are now apps on the phone.
Extra essentials: adapters, phone chargers, plug converters, sewing kit, small Swiss army knife, bandaids, antiseptic cream, small hand sanitizer and wipes. Don't forget your medications.
We also like to take small but high-powered binoculars, but that's just us!
Be sure to keep copies of your passport, health card and credit cards in a safe place and leave copies with someone at home as well. Take out travel insurance.
Traveling light reduces stress and makes globe-trotting all the more enjoyable. Happy trails! Bon voyage!
In case I haven't answered all your questions, here are a couple of good travel info links:

Interview with Kim Snyder, Director of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) Film "I Remember Me"
[ 423 votes ]
1 Comment
By Deborah Cooper •
• March 26, 2001
Kim Snyder is a CFS patient and a filmmaker. Her documentary, "I Remember Me" recently screened at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, and has won several film festival awards. I interviewed Kim about the incredible impact her film has had on audiences everywhere and also discovered how the film got made, despite the challenges of living with CFS.
To read an earlier review of the film click on this link:
Go to Review
What have been audience's reactions at screenings?
They've been similar no matter where, in that there is always a contingent of people who don't have the illness or know nothing about it and they seem to feel that it speaks to any kind of loss, which makes me happy because as a filmmaker I want to be telling a story that's universal. It's important to make a movie that makes CFIDS people proud, and it's more important to make a movie accessible to people who know nothing. People are very moved – they say things like I had no idea, didn't know anything about it, or they say, boy did you turn my head around, I had bought into the myth. And then I've had sufferers and family members – friends – say I never really understood before…who are just so touched.
There's lots of emotion from the sufferers. I was fearful early on that I wouldn't be able to make everybody happy and I'm sure I haven't but I told a story that I thought had a lot of layers and angles. For the most part, people are really grateful that this is getting out there. It's been very heartwarming, and people ask me how they can help to get this out there.
Is the finished movie what you expected it to be?
No it's not what I expected. I never thought I would put my story in at all. I didn't think I would narrate it. As I started to go out and film it was like making a patchwork quilt. Making each patch separately, even though I had an overall vision. I knew that the biggest challenge was to glue all these pieces together into something that has an organic flow and an arc-like story. I realized with the help of my editor, there had to be some glue that wove it together and it had to be me. So, in the end I saw myself as a witness. It's a first person narrative to some extent, but I'm really just a witness. Look at what I walked into.
Did you chronicle your illness right from the beginning?
I think, like a lot of people with CFS, two years into it I honestly thought I wouldn't have it five years later. I started out diagnosed in October '95 and very early on, 11 months leading up to diagnosis, I journaled but I didn't know what I had. As soon as I had a diagnosis and started to learn very quickly that this was a crazy situation, that people didn't know what it was, my immediate impulse was, oh my god, I have to document this. I was at a very critical time in my career and I was outraged that I had fallen off my horse. It's an identity thing as a filmmaker.
But I wasn't well enough to think I could make films. I thought maybe I can write. I was bedridden from Oct 95 basically until that June 96. During that time, I began to think, I'm going to somehow make a film because this is an amazing phenomenon. I just couldn't get over how sick I was. And how horribly this was being treated. At that point I was cognitively really impaired and I remember during that nine month period I would set an eggtimer for 20 minutes and try to write down ideas. And that would be a lot in a day. It grew and I just had this image that I would try to increase it by a minute! And eventually I had a short proposal and I was just going to be in Lyndonville. I would see what it would be like to interview someone for an hour and I got a small grant for that.
Once it started I couldn't not continue – I was driven to finish it. Even though I was sick, I would basically just shore up and try to go somewhere for a week every other month. The production part over 3 years was in increments along the way. The editing was a lot more intense. By then I had gotten better than the first three years, and my hours of concentration were better.
How difficult was it to be sick and simultaneously telling other patients' stories?
When I look back there were times where I totally fell apart, especially in Lake Tahoe. There were more than a few times where I myself and especially my co-producers questioned whether I should be doing this at all. Maybe it was too big. And then at that point…you don't know if you're going to recover. I kept wondering, am I risking my health?
In the end I think I need to have some purpose and that seemed to be my personal motivation. I need to have this purpose. And then the more it got underway, it became one of those projects where things would fall into place. Not that it was easy but something would happen. It felt like it was meant to be.
And what did you think of the film when it was completed?
Four and a half years later it's done and it's just…I always thought if this film gets out on video for CFS patients alone and its meaningful to them, that'll be great. But in the back of my mind and in my heart I knew I wanted to make a film that would be seen by the general public in some way and it is. I really am getting it out there. It is getting news coverage and recently I went to a festival in Syracuse, Fl. The women from Punta Gorda – they were vindicated, they felt like they could rest now after 40 years of no acknowledgement, because the film got two front page articles in that county's paper saying that all these people really got this disease 40 years ago. There was an effect of restoring a sense of dignity. I feel for myself, personally being able to make this movie is restoring a sense of dignity in the face of suffering.
What has been some of the unexpected impact of your film?
The CFS community is so disheartened – people with other really hard diseases get empathy and at least in the empathy they get the validation, they get to feel that there's a nobility, a sense of pride in the fact that they are doing the best they can in a tough situation. That has been missing in the CFS community because of how awfully it has been treated. I feel that this is a way for people to have someone they know see it – they don't have to say anything, they'll get it from the film. The film can have that power and it can render something in a way that you would never be able to convey. And I think it does that and it's a way for people to say look at all these people and look at these stories.
Do you think the public's perception of CFS is changing?
I don't know across the board. I've had a lot of people who've seen my film. I think it's a hard film to watch and be a total skeptic. It's hard to watch that movie and if I could be objective say its all a crock of shit! There's so much honesty in it. And it's such a range of characters. So I really think it can make a difference.
I'm hoping to use this educationally, in schools and medical institutions and libraries and also for advocacy efforts. It's great for people involved in legislation. For people to absorb the kind of suffering we are talking about…it's hard to take in.
I'm sure the serious skeptics will still be serious skeptics. I think it was Dr. Bell who said, "There are some people who are just going to die being right, they're not going to admit their wrong." But maybe some of the skeptics will come around.
But on the street maybe the attitude of the public can only be better than ten years ago – absolutely. I run into more people who have heard of CFS or read a sympathetic article somewhere.
More and more people know people and witness people who have it. It's a first hand experience with it, in a way they can't deny.
To what do you attribute your better health?
I'm not recovered. I was were severely sick the first two or three years and was fortunate to improve. I am a lot better than I was. I still have a serious disability but when I look back I can't believe how much worse it was. It's hard to believe that now I function and then I didn't.
The amount that I have recovered I attribute to lifestyle change. I moved from the city to the seashore. I have the ability to regulate my schedule and life to accommodate the disease. I look at it like if a friend of mine had just gotten it I would say for the time being imagine that you're like a person with a heart condition and can't lift, no stress, no exertion to the point of exhaustion, be really careful or you could have a relapse. I think I live similarly to a person who has a heart condition.
What is the one thing you want to say to CFS patients?
The thing I have the most to say about in this process of having made the film – to me the real core of the film is about having a sense of purpose in the midst of your suffering. Whatever that is – it can be a pet, or a plant, but I think you do have to have a sense of purpose. I think that that is the most important thing even if every dream you ever had seems to be squashed in the midst of this.
It doesn't matter, if in creating that (sense of purpose) you only can devote five minutes a day to it, but create a sense of mission. The purpose is why it all matters despite having to live this thing day in and day out
How can the general public get access to the film?
I have a Web site called www.Irememberme.com, which will give out information.
The film is playing in the Cleveland International Film Festival on March 22 and 23. Then it's playing at the Taos Talking Picture Festival, which is April 6 and 7.
What are your plans for the film now?
I have a distributor interested. I'm trying to let that go forward. I have some music that cost a lot of money, and I have to clear the rights and do some more fundraising to be able to pay off some aspects of post production. If that happens they're committed to opening it in a number of art-house theatres.
It will be made available on videocassette. How that will happen isn't clear yet because it depends on the distributor but it's not likely until the end of the year.
If anyone wishes to make a tax-deductible donation towards the costs of post-production then they can contact the: I Remember Me project through the CFIDS ASSOC of America. If anyone wishes to contact me personally they can write a letter also via the CFIDS Association and also check on my Web site. The address is: PO Box 220398, Charlotte NC 28222-0398.

good interview, and i will certainly take a look at kim's movie....she is (was) correct that this disease has been received by the american medical establishment in a fashion that is arrogant, aggressive, and wholly unethical; it is no exageration to say that it has at times been overtly sadistic and murderous.....i believe the term she used was "horribly" but that doesn't really convey the paranoia, arrogance, discourtesy, and frank brutality that has and does typify the reception of this malady by american physicians....they have successfully repainted the truths of it to an amazingly docile press as an obscure, and relatively inocuous (read hypochondriacal) and passing condition....it shows a perfectly distinct profile immunologically (id refers to a striking and changeless immune deficiency of killer cells in patients thus, the name of "low killer cell syndrome" accorded to it by japan) for any who seek it....the ama continues to disparage and ignore patients who seek care from them with that same routine response of disinterest and intimidation.
