Gene Simmons kept wife Shannon Tweed waiting 28 years to get married because he was too selfish to settle down.
The couple, which has two grown-up children, exchanged vows in a ceremony in California last October, but Simmons admits he was once too arrogant to answer to his wife.
Speaking on British TV show "Daybreak," Simmons says, "I will speak for myself, I can't speak for all men. … I've been arrogant and selfish all my life, thought I could have my cake and eat it too and didn't want to ever answer, 'Where are you going?' Where am I going? Who wants to know? Shannon has been with me for 28, almost 29 years this August and has put up with my crap…
"For her to stick around and put up with all that, and she knows everything, she knows where all the bodies are buried and all that.
"This is a question for all those guys out there, imagine you're on your deathbed. … Who do you want around your deathbed for that last breath of air. If you want the woman you love and your children, then don't wait before you die. Love them and be good to them while you're alive."

I once read providing support to the forum was TD biggest time sink.
Now a year later and it seams not even a moderator was hired for the forum. (Hire? / Lots of people would do it free I think)
It's good visit and see that there is activity in the forum,
But could someone, please, wake me up when real improvement get accomplished ? (other than on iPhone app)
email : email@example.com
Thank You.

I think you have a valid question...particularly with the moderating. I know I would certainly be willing to be on a team of mods for free.
That said, Many of us enjoy Toodledo exactly how it is. If you look through the news forum you will see MANY improvements have been made including an impressive back-end server move.
I doubt anyone will e-mail you when "real" improvement takes place. Improvement is in the eye of the beholder.

I know I have seen this topic before, and it has been suggested also in light of the occasional spam thread. As far as F/T I've seen their want ads and I think they were looking for F/T employees! It could of course be an elaborate scam, LOL, but I doubt it: http://www.toodledo.com/info/jobs.php
I think we are all eager for some visible improvement, but sometimes the best kind of improvement is invisible and less tangible, like the speed improvement last week.
Seems to me that TD is improving just fine. They upgrade at least once a month, sometimes more. I imagine they're spending a lot of effort to get the iPhone version more aligned with the web version right now, which might be taking time away from the web version development.
As for developers spending time in these forums answering questions, I can see where an "efficiency expert" type would think that a waste of time. They could be writing code instead. But for those capable of looking a little deeper, keeping the developers in contact with their clients is brilliant. They know what the clients are asking for, and what, and even how, their clients think. Some might say they could be briefed on this, but it's not the same. Having an online dialog is very different that getting a 5 min briefing throught the filter of someone else saying what he thinks the clients are saying.
Richard Branson, billionaire owner of Virgin Airlines, occasionally goes unannounced on one of their flights, and serves his customers alongside his flight crew. He says he learns things about what his people deal with and what his customers want and need better that way than anything else.
I want to applaud the TD staff and management, if there are such, for keeping themselves in touch with us, their customers, on a regular basis. After putting up with the deafening silence in the Culured Code forums for years, the frequent, knowledgeable, and friendly replies to my posts by TD staff makes me a believer. These people want to deliver the best experience they can. I couldn't ask for more, and certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to ask for less.

That is IF you're using the "default" iPhone app, otherwise there has been about 3-4 unique changes to the web version this year (~9 month).

Are there any Moderator or technical support yet ? other than old customers checking in to see if their feature will ever come to light ?
Ps: Will provide support for food.

LOL. Go hang around the RTM forums for a while. There you can get a good dose of being completely ignored, having no product improvements for months on end, and no iPhone, Android, or any other improvements either. For added measure, they throw in a health serving of getting aggressive with their customers who ask for time frames, or complain about how nothing there seems to improve.

Not sure how accurate that is, considering the tone, it seems September may be your month! LOL!.
The toodledo admin does in fact frequent the forum, answer questions, request more detailed support tickets for new requests, resolve issues as they arrive, and roll out new functionality regularly. If you had searched some before posting, you might have seen that.

I'm going to try the nematodes for slugs this year as I am fed up with my plants been nibbled to a stalk! Has any one tried this?

thanks Shazza1 for the garlic water idea, I'm definately going to give that one a try.
I had loads of slugs in my compost bin last year, the black ones are good for the compost bin apparently, prefering rotting matter to fresh green growth, so if I find any I put them in the compost bin. By the time the compost was ready the slugs had all gone. Had they died with nothing else to eat, or had they just buggered off elsewhere? Will my homemade compost now be full of slug eggs? I have a real problem killing any pests in the garden, even slugs. All the ones I find in the garden go into the brown council recycling compost bin, so go live at the dump. I am worried that I am just sending the problem elsewhere.
25 May 2012 10:34
they dont have my cranesbill, euphorbia, iceplant, magnolias, roses, elephant ears, dicentra, or aqualegia, also leave the woodruff alone. Also dont have the lavender and rosemary. I've lost SO many plants to slugs over the years but these have been bomb proof for us.
26 May 2012 12:16
I grow my petunias in hanging baskets to avoid slugs. Coffee grounds work ok with some plants - but some plants seem sensitive to coffee and die. I have grow hostas in big pots and put vaseline on the sides of the pots - slugs don't like crawling over it. The hostas are still doing well after several years.
17 Jun 2012 13:47
17 Jun 2012 15:37
I love hostas but always had the problem of slugs and snails. This year I planted new hostas in tubs and used copper tape. I grouped the hostas together in a nice shady spot in the garder and put some rocks around the pots - looks quite decorative actually, but I also put little trays here and there with bird seed. I also placed my bird bath in the same spot. So far so good - I do not seem to be having too much trouble with slugs and snails. I leave some apples about also for the blackbird and thrushes - who really like the snails and use the rocks to break the shells.
27 Jun 2012 16:05
A problem this year is the wet weather and mild winter has created perfect slug conditions, so there are a lot more of them. I have found them eating lots of slug proof plants this year - Hellebores, Mahonia, Eunonymous and etc. Best pick them out at dusk with tweezers as others have said.
27 Jun 2012 16:37
I think given half a chance slugs will have a go at anything ! I springle coffee grounds round my dahlias and that seems to do the trick.
As for slug proof plants I have found verbena bonariensis , achilleas and irises to be pretty slug resistant. The most slug resistant if not slug repelling plant I have is Aconitum carmichaelii not only do the slugs do not touch it , i expect this is due to the fact that monkshoods are really quite poisionous ( a proper gloves job when cutting back) . The weird thing is that i grow hostas near by and the slugs dont seem to come near them due to the presence of the monkshood !
17 Sep 2012 09:26
Of the perennials in my garden I found the following quite slug resistent: aquilegias, hardy geraniums, centranthus (valerian), japanese anemones, lysimachia clethroides (chinese loosetrife), scabiosa, heucherella, polemonium (jacobs ladder), sisyrinchium. Bedding plants: I don't grow many but I found fuchsias and lobelias resistent to slugs, although the slugs seemed to hide under the lobelias but did not touch them.
17 Sep 2012 12:13
I have nt seen anybody talking about a slug killer/ repellent that I have started using....Salt. Particulaly at this time of year when the slugs and snails come out in their herds. I sprinkle it on them and even if they are on plants the salt sticks to them. I'm trying it as a barrier at the moment, i appreciate there the obvious drawbacks but its working for me
17 Sep 2012 22:08
It is so heartening to see that there are people out there that really do care about our wildlife and will not use pellets in their gardens to get kill slugs/snails. I do not know how people can live with themselves that use SALT and other INHUMANE ways to kill them - disgraceful, and audrey23 should be ashamed taking a perverse pleasure in stamping on them. They are creatures that need to eat to live like all of us (and a lot of them do eat the rotting matter, etc. on the ground). There are other ways to protect young shoots and plants (e.g. planting inexpensive decoy plants, such as marigolds, until the plants become more established and humane ways to get rid of them. Hedgehogs. frogs and birds will eat them and if you must destroy then using stout/beer iI believe is one of the kinder ways though still not very nice. You can always gather them up and take them to woodland or a nature reserve.

I personally do not kill the slugs, I sometimes pick them and throw them to the grass path next to my house, but I am sure they come back. I would love to grow lupins and delphiniums but Ihave given up because they get all eaten.
19 Sep 2012 23:01
I'm lifting my delphiniums for the winter and planting them in pots like I do with my lilies. I am also going to use nematodes next year because I do hate slug pellets.

Ciarán Kilkenny has revealed that his Aussie Rules interest both threatened and inspired Dublin's All-Ireland SFC replay win over Mayo.
The Castleknock clubman spent four months in Australia on a rookie contract with AFL side Hawthorn in 2011, and he explained that he still maintains an interest in the sport - and watched last Western Bulldogs' Grand Final win over Sydney Swans last Saturday.
But the influence of viewing that match nearly led to disaster for the Dubs as Kilkenny gave away a late free to Mayo after flying into a throw-up with a third-man tackle between Dublin's Michael Darragh Macauley and Mayo's Barry Moran.
Jonny Cooper's dad opens up about emotional All-Ireland win
Kilkenny explained: "I was watching a bit of AFL… the Western Bulldogs were playing the Sydney Swans. When they do the 'ruck' and when they throw the ball up, a third man is allowed to come in and hit it if he wants, so I went in and I did that but [referee] Maurice Deegan gave a free against me."
Despite the mishap, Kilkenny recovered and used the bizarre incident as inspiration to claim the final kick-out of last Saturday's replay to help the Dubs see out the win.
The 23-year-old added: "All I was thinking was I need to get a kick-out, I need to get on the ball and kill the game and try and make up for it.
Mayo manager accuses Dubs of 'agenda' to pressurise Lee Keegan
"I needed to do it for my team-mates because it was my fault [giving away a free from] watching the AFL."
While Dublin midfielder Brian Fenton is the money-on favourite with the bookies to be named Footballer of the Year, Kilkenny is just behind him in the odds and the Castleknock man looks likely to be named an All-Star.
Kilkenny played a roving wing-back role for the Dubs in a number of games - including in the Leinster final - while he also impressed in his ball-carrying and distribution which was again vital for Jim Gavin's side during last weekend's win.
Nigel McCarthy: Jim Gavin's brave choices brought Dublin to All-Ireland victory
On his own form, Kilkenny said: "I'm just so happy to win the game. Mayo always compete with us athletically and physically. Their tackling is brilliant, they are brilliant footballers.
"I'm just delighted to get over the line, I can't describe it.
"This is probably the most special year because I'm getting a bit older and I appreciate it a bit more. I was a young lad in 2013, last year was special but this is even more special."

It took just eight days for Metro to need its emergency plans for the Dupont Circle station while it does a massive escalator overhaul.
Problems occurred twice on Wednesday that forced the agency to close all outside access to the busy Red Line station. Both incidents occurred during the daily rush.
The transit agency is relying on just one entrance at the station after closing the south entrance on Feb. 1 to replace all three escalators. The project is slated to last through October. In the meantime, all riders are funneled through the sole remaining exit.
Metro pledged to keep those escalators running at all times and created several layers of emergency plans in case breakdowns occur.
"Everything's going as planned," spokesman Dan Stessel told The Washington Examiner. "The procedures did work as they were intended to ensure a safe environment."
The first incident happened after a train broke down at Dupont Circle at 10:12 a.m., he said. All riders aboard were forced off, so the train could be taken in for repairs.
The station entrance was closed so no one else could enter the station, to limit crowding. A rider reported the platform was packed with people.
The entrance closure lasted eight minutes, opening back up at 10:20 a.m., Stessel said.
Then at 5:55 p.m., all the escalators at the north entrance went down. Stessel said it was likely because of a false fire alarm that automatically shut them off. It wasn't until 6:21 p.m. that all three escalators were running again.
During that time, Metro closed the entrance of the station, cutting off riders from entering. Again, riders could exit the station, walking up the stalled escalators.
The evening closure occurred on a chilly, drippy night when riders wanting to board at Dupont Circle may not have wanted to walk half a mile to Farragut North to catch their train.
The system also had two outbound trains bypass the station, running straight through without stopping, as a precaution to avoid overcrowding.
Stessel said crowding never became a problem.
Following those two incidents, Stessel said the agency has no plans to make changes to its contingency plans.
The agency did not need to use an emergency evacuation train staged nearby in the tunnel or a special spiral staircase installed in a ventilation shaft.

They've even resurrected the much maligned QR code and given it a whole new purpose with a great creative idea. It is a great selection of creative innovation delivering business results."Clemenger BBDO's campaign reinvented the postage stamp by allowing consumers to upload a tailored video message and attach it to a QR code stamp, allowing the recipient to watch the video when opening the parcel. The campaign was launched by Australia Post around Christmas.Initiative's Kia Game On campaign gave tennis fans the chance to experience what it felt like to be in the firing line against the world's fastest server, using their phones as tennis racquets, synching with the TV broadcast.The app was downloaded 194,000 times and played in more than 100 countries. It managed to reach number one in the iTunes download charts.In third place was The Monkeys' The Convertible Challenge which invited people to creatively think of their dream two-in-one product to highlight Intel's new laptop and tablet in one, Intel Ultrabook Convertible.Entries were submitted on a Facebook app that generated customised graphics of the products. The campaign resulted in a 200 per cent increase in sales of Ultrabook Convertibles for Intel and saw over 10,000 ideas submitted to the competition and over 91,000 Facebook interactions.The bi-monthly IAB Creative Showcase competition series, which is sponsored by Innovid, accepts entries for work completed in the two months prior to close of judging for each round and only one campaign per agency is allowed.

This easy slow cooker Chicken Cacciatore is a crowd pleaser! I created it on a Sunday morning. It cooked while we were at church and was ready to eat when we got home.
I fully intended to show you a photo of the finished deal. I took several, but they didn't turn out at all. I guess we were so hungry that I snapped too quickly.
This dish is full of chicken, bell peppers and onions in homemade tomato sauce. Red wine brings more flavor to the sauce, but you can leave this out if you need to. Serve the chicken and sauce over hot pasta. I used bow tie pasta, but you can use any shape you like.
Here's what you'll need to make Chicken Cacciatore: [Read more…]

"I quit my job to travel the world," "I'm the girl who quits her corporate job to travel the world," "Why quitting your job is the best move if you want to travel the world," bullshit this, and bullshit that. So, what do you want now? A cookie or a star stamped on the back of your hand?
If you're one of these people and you're genuinely happy with your move, then yey! I'm happy for you but don't come dictating other people what they should do with their lives and treat yourself as superior because you quit your job and traveled instead.
Breaking news: NOT EVERYONE CAN DO IT EVEN IF THEY WANTED TO AND ALSO NOT EVERYONE WANTS TO QUIT THEIR JOB JUST TO TRAVEL.
So stop implying that they should work harder to be just like you.
You can blog and say how you did it but not blog and say that they should do it, too because it's like the ~best thing evuuurrr~
People like these should be banned from using the Internet especially when their blogs are popular! Readers, eventhough they can make their own decisions, tend to be encouraged to quit their job just to travel.
If you're planning to quit your job so you can travel, hear me out first. YOU. DO. NOT. NEED. TO. DO. THAT.
For starters, read this article first:
This Couple Quit Their Jobs To Travel And Now Scrub Toilets To Get By
Quit job and travel? What for? So that I'll fall into the "Millenials who made it" category? Quit job and travel? So that I can have something all my Millenial homies be envious about? Or so that I can have an Instagram-worthy post?
Surprise, surprise! There are people who want to travel but are still happy to pursue their careers.
Different strokes for different folks, y'all. We all have our own definition of success and we all have our own ways to do it but don't you fucking get me the advice to "QUIT YOUR JOB AND TRAVEL" to make yourself feel better that you did it.
I traveled without quitting my job
I went abroad, had the best time of my life, and went back to my amazing job. No, I never ever thought of quitting my job just to travel when I can do both. I think that this is why the German Embassy granted me a visa to go on multiple entries plus added more days on my stay (I asked for 50 days and they gave me 75 days) – it's because they know that I am happy with my work here and I would never be an illegal immigrant in EU.
I believe that if you want a long-ass vacation or break from your job, that means you are in the wrong industry and it means that you are not happy with your job. I am happy to travel for 2 months but those 2 months, I can't keep thinking about my job back home and I can't wait to resume my work. It's because I am passionate about it and I enjoy working.
Ask yourself: "Why would I want to quit my job just to travel?"
I'll answer it for you! Maybe it's because:
- you think that having a full-time work might get in the way of your traveling
- you think your employer won't let you travel for more than a month
- you want to go full-on traveling without working and checking your emails
and I'm here to say that none of these matters just as long as you know the art of negotiation.

Renewed Euro Weakness Ahead - Westpac
Sean Callow, FX Strategist at Westpac, expects renewed weakness in the shared currency, which should allow EUR/AUD for a target of 1.45.
Key Quotes
The ECB's March meeting again disappointed euro bears, interrupting the AUD/EUR rally/ EUR/AUD slide from mid-Feb. But we expect EUR to come under renewed pressure in coming weeks and months as the ECB's various new easing steps impact. AUD should also be fairly resilient in the weeks ahead, with the RBA on hold and key commodity prices well above Dec-Jan lows.
This should see AUD/EUR retest the 0.69 region, EUR/AUD slip to 1.45. However, during H2 2016, AUD is likely to lose ground as iron ore prices come back down to earth on growing supply and the Eurozone's hefty current account surpluses help EUR stabilize.

I think the only time I ever looked in the mirror and was happy with what I saw was after my body stopped digesting and tolerating food for several months.
That probably says more about my own self-image and societally impacted opinion of "how a woman should look", but bear with me. I've been putting off writing this post for a while because I haven't really figured out how to articulate what I'm trying to say, but I think that's the point.
My entire life I struggled with my weight. I first had EDS symptoms in 1993, and I distinctly remember being the last one in the whole school to finish the cross-country, did everything to get out of P.E. and really struggled with running around like the other kids because I was in so much pain. I can't recall a time that I wasn't in pain (except after going to the cinema in Florida when I was a teenager and somehow the chair was so comfy that for an hour afterwards I was pain free. A short-lived miracle!)
After a while the pain just becomes part of what is normal to me, but when it comes to physical exercise (especially with my propensity to sublux) things become more difficult.
At four foot 9 (and a quarter!), keeping my weight in check hasn't been the easiest. The biggest I've been is a size 14, and I floated around a 10-12 for most of my teenage years and early twenties. While, I know, this is no where near 'fat', I have spent most of my life surrounded by tall, glamorous gorgeous girls so it never really did all that much for my self-esteem.
When I lost a huge amount of weight quite dramatically, it was the silver lining to being so unwell with these new illnesses. It was then that I started to realise my complicated relationship with food, exercise, society, social media and my health.
Chronic illness means uncertainty. I never know how I'm going to feel from one day to another. Everyone has different experiences and different symptoms, so I'm just sharing my personal opinions on this. I'm sure it's different for many.
It's a vicious cycle: pain & subluxations means inability to move. Inability to move leads to deconditioning which makes the situation worse so it's all about super small and gentle building blocks. These start building up more and more and it's exciting and I want to exercise like everyone else. I try. And I injure myself. Or my hormones do something weird or I sleep funny. Or y'know. My body. My body falls back again and I have to summon the courage to start right from the beginning. To start from walking around my flat, to walking past a few houses.
I'm always really surprised when my physio or my osteopath tells me that my body is actually really physically strong. And actually, despite how dizzy I get or tired or falling out-y, it is. My muscles are there. Which is kinda cool.
The other side of this is food. I gain weight very quickly. Being so small, I gain weight on half of what a normal person would. However, 1) I love food and 2) the body wants what it wants. I'm not even talking about it in terms of 'unhealthy' cravings. The more unwell and fatigued I am, the hungrier I get. It's this constant gnawing, painful hunger. My body is so tired that it's screaming out for energy. Where do we get energy from? Food?
My body needs food to heal and recover during a flare and I'm not going to restrict myself, but I do need to be mindful.
Balancing that need to eat and rest to heal can be extremely difficult when it culminates in weight gain. I know that I am far, far from overweight, but I look at myself in the mirror and all I can see is the damage caused by years of subluxations, the weird way my joints sit in their sockets and the increasing softness around my form.
As much as I hate to admit it, social media has played a huge role in how I feel about my ability to exercise and the way I look. I see hashtags like #strongnotskinny, girls declaring how your ability to exercise is all in your head (general rambles on that concept here!) and all you need to do to push yourself, and gorgeous #postworkoutselfies and all I want to do is go to a barre or spin class. It is quite dangerous (and again, although I know better I still fall into the trap) to constantly hear the message of pushing past your comfort zone, no matter what, by people not qualified or understanding enough of our bodies. I could say that I'm going to go for a run right now! Yeah! It's great for you! Woo!
But my knee popped out just getting out of bed. So…y'know…common sense has to prevail sometimes.
In my head, when I feel a bit better, I tell myself that I can do these intense workouts. I can do them. I can. But I can't. My body isn't ready for them. Even building up can take six months (I build muscle at a third of the rate of healthy people). It hits your ego and your self-esteem hard. A huge part of the wellness scene, especially in a city like London, is all about what work out you're doing that day, and designer gym clothes have outstripped the latest it-bag as the "in" social symbol.
While, in theory, I know better, in practice it's more difficult. Just saying to yourself "don't compare yourself to others" is much easier said than done. Wanting to go out and exercise and "look after myself" in a traditional way can be extremely frustrating. I also know from years and years of trying to find medication that worked what havoc that can play on your body. Weight gain, weight loss, stretchier collagen, dodgier gut, lactation (yes, really!)…having a chronic illness means that our bodies are put right through the ringer just in a constant effort to get through the day.
With all that being said, I know the transformative effect on my mood just making the effort to dress up and look "nice" can make. My mum used to treat me to getting my hair washed and blowdried when my pain levels were through the roof, my friend Lucy would come over and give me manicures (with some pretty epic Pokemon nail art!). Even just getting in the shower after not having the energy to after days, washing my hair, taming it of it's natural jew fro, putting on some make up and a sweep of red lipstick changes how I feel about myself. I've recently taken to slouching around in whatever I can grab, but putting on a pretty dress and looking at myself in the mirror, smiling and feeling that I don't look half bad, definitely helps.
It sounds silly and superficial, but I find that I have so little control over my body, that I need to feel proud and happy about it where I can. I'm still struggling with accepting my physical limitations (which sounds ridiculous considering I've had them for as long as I can remember) and along with them the impact this has on my outward physical appearance. No matter how many times you read about "loving yourself" and "you're perfect just as you are", sometimes that doesn't work. You want to be tall and glossy and gorgeous and healthy and doing yoga at the beach. But, as with everything, we try and deal as best as we can and we keep trying. No matter what.

The U.S. industrial lubricants market is expected to reach USD 8.94 billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Increasing initiatives by the U.S. government to promote the manufacturing sector along with the rising number of trade activities across the region have been major factors driving market growth.
Lubricating oils have diverse applications in chemical manufacturing sector followed by textile industry in the U.S. Heat exchangers have a very broad range of industrial applications in the region. These are being utilized increasingly within production plants as well as factories to keep water, gas, machinery, and chemicals other substances within a safe operating temperature.
With the rise in the construction industry in the U.S., metal joining fluids are being increasingly used in the region across diverse commercial applications. Metal joining consists of specialized processes such as honeycomb brazing and vacuum, complex operations that require a unison between expertise and technology. These factors shall expand the scope of lubricants usage in production processes across the U.S.
Industrial engine oils are designed to offset the rising fuel and operating costs. They exhibit lesser coefficient of friction, which helps in saving fuel, while at the same time, keeps the engine clean for optimal efficiency of combustion. Specifically, the oils help in keeping the ports, piston, crankcase, and filters clean for a long duration. Industrial engine oils are widely used to prevent wear & tear, corrosion, and reduce friction in engines.

In JR Clancy's latest Rigging Report email, they are calling for photos. No, not photos of your beautiful self, but photos of scary rigging. We have all been then. We have walked into a theatre, looked up and had to do a double take. "Are they really hanging pipes with dog chain?!?" Yup, I have seen that done and I RAN.
If you are like me, you take photos of these scary situations to show friends and co-workers just how un-safe that space is. JR Clancy is looking for those photos to add to their Facebook page. The collection of photos is not intended to make fun or laugh at a venue, but to serve as a remind why annual rigging inspections are so so important. Life would not be good if a schedule 40 pipe came crashing down from ANY height.
Dig through your scary rigging photos and be sure to add them to JR Clancy's Facebook page to shed some light on some of the scariest rigging out there. And yes, you can withhold your name and venue location by contacting JR Clancy to add the photo for you.
In response to one of our readers comments, JR Clancy wanted to follow up about scary rigging photos of their products as well. Here is what Patrick Finn from JR Clancy has to say:
This is Patrick Finn from J.R. Clancy. We want to see scary rigging photos of our equipment most of all. We can have fun posting the scary rigging photos on Facebook because we know that shortly after the shots are taken the issues are corrected. Please send me some pictures and let me know what theatre you are referring to. If this is an old system we can recommend an ETCP certified rigger who can inspect and repair the issues, and if this is a new installation the equipment may be under warranty. We want to know about all Clancy equipment installation good and bad so we can we address any issues. Thanks and I look forward to seeing your scary photos.

Region's hotels home for the Sandy-weary
Some families displaced by storm find interim lodging in Capital Region
Published 10:13 pm, Monday, November 5, 2012
ALBANY — Most hotel guests stay for business or pleasure, but some visitors in Albany are here for refuge this week.
Victims of Superstorm Sandy have come north to Albany to find an available hotel room.
A mother and daughter from Long Island moved into Homewood Suites on Wolf Road. The pair, who declined to be interviewed, don't expect to get electricity back at their home for weeks. The hotel staff is baking a cake for the mom's 89th birthday on Tuesday, said Robert Huber, general manager of the hotel.
"We welcome them," Huber said. "Our whole culture here is home away from home."
Homewood Suites served about a half-dozen families displaced by the storm, he said. Most withstood a few days without electricity in their homes before the lack of heat and bathing finally drove them to a hotel.
"They hung tough, but after three or four days they said 'We need a break,'" Huber said.
Capital Region hotels canceled many conferences in the past week because attendees couldn't get here. Hotels also saw a modest influx of disaster volunteers, utility workers and employees from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, according to local hotel managers.
Most storm victims found places closer to New York City in the lower Hudson Valley, said Michele Vennard, president and CEO of the Albany County Convention & Visitors Bureau.
Toni Castiglia, a bakery technician for ShopRite who lives in Manalapan, N.J., had a pre-scheduled work trip to train employees at the Slingerlands grocery story this week. She usually doesn't like these overnight trips away from her family, but this time "I love it," said Castiglia, who checked into the Holiday Inn on Wolf Road on Monday night.
Castiglia waited in line for three hours Friday to get gas. She stayed home through the weekend so her car would have enough fuel to make the Albany trip.
Superstorm Sandy blew over trees and power lines in her neighborhood, including one tree that fell on her car. Castiglia's home has no electricity. Her family bought a generator right before the storm, so they have a refrigerator and some heat.
"Not everyone has generators," Castiglia said. "A lot of people are suffering."

Cowgirls night club closes
Jan. 3, 2012 at 4:05 p.m.
Updated Jan. 2, 2012 at 7:03 p.m.
Cowgirls, a Victoria nightclub at 4106 Houston Highway, has closed, said Bryant Price, who owns the building but not the business.
The owner vacated the premises Monday evening, Price said, although he did not have further details regarding the closure.
Cowgirls opened in October 2009.
Doors were locked Tuesday morning and the company phone number was disconnected.
Jeffrey Tisdale, the bar's owner, declined comment on the issue.
"I'm very busy right now," he said. "I'm tired.
Representatives with the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission were unavailable for comment Tuesday afternoon.

It was the summer of 2004. I was a grad student with experience in resident life and I had taken on a job as co-director of a summer program hosted at my university. The pay was good and it gave me time to read and prep for my first go at teaching that fall.
At first, the job was cool. I was co-directing with one of my best friends and the high school kids I worked with were sweet. That is until my boss, a surly, hapless white man who spent most of his time avoiding work, decided to show out. We'd be at staff meetings and he would literally act as if I wasn't there. He would look past me and pretend I wasn't speaking. It was infuriating, disrespectful, and petty. I had suffered ill treatment for being a young Black woman before, but this took that experience to a whole other level.
To say that I was angry would be an understatement. This lazy fool refused to speak to me, actively obstructed my job, and was generally an asshole. And he thought he could get away with it because I was the one–the scapegoat, the garbage dump, the only sista in the room.
This happened almost 10 years ago, when I was a wee crunk feminist. But please believe I was crunk as hell. Trust. He didn't break my spirit–in fact, with the help and support of my co-director, my friends, and loved ones, I finished out the summer with my coins, my sanity, and my spirit in tact.
I mention this story because I've been thinking about Sasheer Zamata, the latest cast member to join Saturday Night Live, which has been under fire for their lack of Black women comedians. (Remember the tragicomic skit with Kerry Washington where she had to act as every famous Negress there is, while SNL added some wacktastic disclaimer because "if we all joke about it it's not racist, right? FOH)
Zamata has cut her teeth at the Upright Citizen's Brigade and has had an otherwise promising career, so I hope she'll do well. But, like so many women of color, having experienced being "the one" in the room can be a heavy burden and, sing it with me, "I'm Not Your Superwoman!"
While I am heartened by the news that Sasheer Zamata is going to be joined by two other sistas (LaKendra Tookes and Leslie Jones) who will start work as writers on the show next week, there is still cause for concern, especially considering the fact that she is only the fifth Black woman to join the cast and was only added after SNL was
shamed into convinced to hold a casting call for Black women comedians and after ole trifling ass Kenan Thompson flapped his gums out of order. Brotha, go sit down and have a stadium of seats.
Let's not even mention Don Lemon's latest shenanigans.
Now, some of you may be thinking, "Girl, please. I don't even watch SNL like that." Well, me neither. I've never been a huge fan of the show. Back in the day, In Living Color and Mad TV were my go to shows in terms of sketch comedy. And, today, there are so many excellent web series (see Chescaleigh and really any of Issa Rae's productions), hilarious websites (Crunk & Disorderly is an old fave), and gutbusting podcasts (The Read–need I say more?) with Black women front and center, I'm not really studying SNL like that. I do think, though, that it's important for Black women to have as many opportunities to live out their dreams. And I'm glad Sasheer Zamata is going to be on SNL for that reason alone.
Currently, I am the only openly queer black woman at my job. Well, I'm also the only openly queer woman and the only black person, period. And while I certainly am not experiencing the tomfoolery of 2004, being the only one can be, well, lonely.
I hope that Zamata knocks it out the park and makes me
watch DVR SNL because she's so fucking funny. I hope that in meetings and interviews folks don't talk to her sideways, and when if they do, she takes a lesson from our sista Laverne Cox on how to get someone together right quick without even breaking a sweat (I'm talking to you, Katie Couric). I hope that soon when folks say, "Do you know Sasheer Zamata?" they respond, "Oh yeah, she's the funniest one on SNL."
What are your thoughts on the recent hires over at SNL? Will you be watching for Sasheer Zamata?

Back on April 1, my daughter Joni sent me an iPhone photo of her sister (and my daughter) Heather.
(click on photos to enlarge)
Yesterday Heather and I went bowling. We did two lines. She got a strike on her first frame. She won the first line, I won the second. No need to do the third (or for you to know the score, either!) Suffice to say that I didn't take a dive to lose, and she didn't cheat to win. It was all fair and square on Lane 11 at Mattie's Lanes in South St. Paul MN. We were the only folks in the place. It was fun.
Today* Heather is having a new Pacemaker installed at Children's Hospital in Minneapolis. She has lived with a Pacemaker for over 30 of her 36 years. This makes her a pretty exceptional individual in the realm of pacemaker survival rates, I'm told.
Heather, Down Syndrome, has seen a lot of life in her 36 years.
And she's brought a lot of joy to a lot of lives in those years. Kids like her with exceptional abilities can and do have that affect on people who know them. Those with special abilities look at life a bit differently than we so-called 'normals'.
When I was young, kids like Heather were people nobody knew much what to do with.
I remember Johnny in a tiny town in which I lived for several years. He was, they would likely say, retarded, or some less polite word: moron, idiot, imbecile…. He was older than we younger kids, and he lived at home. We'd taunt him in the assorted ways kids can, and sooner or later he'd get very angry, and because he was so big he could be dangerous.
We'd run, and he'd go home, and the next day he'd be back.
No special education in those days.
My grandparents lived in the town that had what they used to call the "State School for the Feeble Minded", and in those years, while awareness was beginning to raise (this was in the 1940s), these folks were warehoused and when we came to visit, and went to the local park, we went by the school and on a summer day they were warehoused behind a fence, sort of like animals in a zoo, no deal differentiation that I knew of.
Things have changed now, of course, and kids like Heather in all their exceptionalness add richness to many lives, not to mention aiding the economy of which they are a part in many different ways.
Heather spends her weekdays at Proact Inc, an extraordinary partnership in Eagan MN. Earlier this week I took her there, and she was proudly wearing her Twins shirt.
The technology she'll have implanted today is a far cry from the technology of over 30 years ago. In those years, the Pacemaker had one heart rate; the current technology allows Heather to do things unimaginable in those early years, such as playing softball in a Special Olympics league called RAVE in which parents and others give and receive the joy of participation.
I can put Heather in the middle of many "circles".
To each, she brings more gifts than she takes.
For other postings about Heather, simply enter the word in the search box.
* PS: The procedure went well. She'll be home tomorrow.

From Student Handout to Published Work
Almost 35 years ago we moved to California from Honolulu and (luckily for me) landed in Uncle Joe Kahāʻulelioʻs hālau. After he passed away a few years later I began to teach hula. I noticed one thing right away. Those of us who were from Hawaiʻi had a very different perspective on the hula from those who were not.
Many of my students were well meaning, but simply had no idea of the depth of what they were getting involved with.
This is why I began to collect notes and essays on the cultural underpinnings of the hula for my students. I combined them into a spiral bound "book" that I self published. The first edition was released in 1999. Three years ago I revisited the project to refine the information and self-published in a more professional way. The latest rewrite of the Haumāna Hula Handbook was just released by Penguin Random House!

The luxury hotels and their interiors also tend to be the same. The chains tend to standardize and their rooms and suites and very often they look and feel the same anywhere in the world. It is exciting to see a new concept altogether. The Peninsula Bangkok has created a Terrace Suite on top of the hotel that takes the penthouse concept a notch higher. In fact you can never imagine what it can be like, living on the terrace with all the luxurious amenities and comforts.
The experience of just stepping on the deck of the Terrace Suite is simply mind blowing. The helipad of the hotel is located next to the suite. In fact, you are close enough to wave at the helicopter arriving at the hotel helipad. Fortunately the traffic is infrequent and rare. The 180 degree view of the bustling city of Bangkok from everywhere on the terrace is awe inspiring. The amenity that takes the cake is that you can enjoy the view sitting in a hot tub. There are chaise loungers and a large table. If you want an unusual experience you can even sleep outside on the terrace.
The Terrace Suite does not make any compromise in terms of amenities because of its unusual location. The top of the world suite boasts of a full formal living area, dining room, separate office, huge bedroom, and huge bathrooms. You have the view and you have the space with all the luxuries normally associated with high end hotels. This exclusive suite is not available for booking online. The rate for the suite is $1,900 per night and you have to request the hotel directly for the bookings. A Suite Life promotion program is on till April 8 2012 which may allow you to stay in the suite for two nights for that price.

Hi John,
Thanks for the good review of the book.
I hope it can get a 2nd print so that the editing of the syntaxes/spelling could be fixed but judging by the information provided in the book, I think it's worth to get it.
Kudos to the author for working on such an obscure subject with regards to the history of the SS/Polizei in WW2.

The NFCA will be bringing another wonderful webinar installment our way on April 18, 2012. The latest webinar will be sponsored by Blue Diamond Growers and given by a friend of mine, Amy Jones, MS, RD, LD, Chief Clinical Dietitian and Celiac Support Group Facilitator of Mary Rutan Hospital. Amy lives in the same area of Ohio that I do and I have even had the pleasure of meeting her at a race last fall! She is a such a sweet person & super knowledgeable, too!
I love this topic and learning fun, new ways to eat healthy while following the gluten-free diet. More about the webinar:
Weight is a popular topic when it comes to questions about celiac disease and the gluten-free diet. While a sign of undiagnosed celiac disease can be weight loss, research has shown that this disease can impact overweight individuals, too. Further, many newly diagnosed celiacs experience the common unwanted reality of weight gain due to their small intestine now able to absorb more of the nutrients they are consuming. Please join NFCA as Amy educates gluten-free individuals on how to manage their weight through a nutritious gluten-free diet using a healthy fitness regimen and a mindful approach to eating.
The webinar will take place on Wednesday, April 18, 2012 at 8:30 PM EST. Amy will be incorporating webinar participants questions into her presentation. To have your question or concern included, please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com by April 3, 2012 with "April Webinar Q&A" in the subject line. There is no cost for this webinar, the only requirement is a working internet connection. Please register here for further instructions.
As always, archived webinars can be viewed here. They don't just have the most recent, but going back quite a while on a myriad of topics pertaining to Celiac Disease & the gluten-free diet.

Incredible Ombre Surf 1st Birthday Brunch
This stylish OMBRE SURF BIRTHDAY BRUNCH that Ashley of Ashley Rose Photography created for her adorable son Crew is nothing short of incredible! And how smart to feature so many fun food stations that both kids and adults are sure to love – including a cereal bar, a pancake station with all the fixings, and a loaded drink station complete with chocolate milk shots for the kids and mimosas for the adults!
There are so many whimsical, creative details to be found in this darling first birthday party… from the ombre dipped cutlery and hand painted place settings to the large kraft paper photo collage and the shark fin cake pops displayed in trays lined with goldfish. One of my favorite elements has to be the beautifully styled dessert buffet showcasing Crew's new surfboard and overflowing with incredibly yummy desserts. I also love the stamped muslin bags filled with blue shark gummies (Every surfer's worst nightmare is much less scary in candy form, right?)! ;)
Keep reading for lots more amazing photos + party details…
PARTY DETAILS, as told by Ashley…
"My husband loves surfing and for Crew's 1st birthday gift from us we had a surfboard made for him, complete with a bright blue 1 painted on it and his baby feet (imprints from the hospital) on the bottom of the board. When I actually saw the completed board I burst into tears! I adore it! He will actually be able to ride it (in a few years) and he can keep it forever. So anyways that is how we knew we had to throw him a Surf Party and because I am a crazy perfectionist I wanted to throw some other fun elements into it. Hence the OMBRE Surf Theme. I must say the girls at posh paperie were truly my biggest source of inspiration and help! They contributed sooo much and I am so grateful for Elizabeth & Karrie!!!
It all started with the invite! K & E completely designed everything for this beauty! I knew I wanted hand drawn fonts and that was about it. They came up with the most amazing invitation ever, seriously so blown away by how creative they are!!! They created Kraft Boxes (with a beautiful blue ombre address wrap) filled them with shades of blue sand. In each box were 3 little cards. One said Crew is ONE. The next one was all the party info and the last one was a lil sizing help. Saying our 'Little Grom's sizing is… ' . We have a big guy, so he has been out of 12 month clothing for quite some time. I knew I needed to let people know this. Onto all the decor details!
I tied in the ombre (graduation of color) theme into the party in several areas. Three shades of blue table cloths covered the party table. Then I created a kraft paper extra wide runner/table cloth to go over each table as well. I hand painted each place setting onto the kraftpaper along with shades of blue waves.
Each table had a juice jug filled with sand anchoring giant round blue balloons. Strewn about the tables were mini blue beach pails filled with goldfish and painted number 1's on them. Each painted place setting had ombre dipped bamboo cutlery wrapped in twine on it.
We had milk, oj, apple juice, mimosas (for the adults) and chocolate milk shots! And of course coffee, lots of coffee.
I wanted fun foods for kids so what better than a cereal bar! I ordered super cute cereal 'bowls' trays from GARNISH (actually I bought a ton of super cute party supplies from them!) and had a ton of cereal complete with a jar of milk to top them off!
We had a pancake (and waffles too!) station, tons of toppings to add on plus fruit cups (shark fin toppers), granola bars, and muffins!"

Mammoth 11/24/10
24 Nov, 2010
The recent storm that swooped on Mammoth delivered 5-8 feet of snow, feet! It's been a total blizzard on the mountain the last couple days but today the sun finally came out. The mountain also opened up all the lodges which means full operation and a chance to tour the rest of the mountain with the new snowfall.
I headed out with Alex for our lunch break ride session. The bluebird skies and new snow meant a great break for some powder riding and to check out the mountain.

Since the recent snowfall I've been riding my powder board, the NS Raptor which has been awesome in the new snow but also fun on the groomers. I need to get on the production version to review this winter since mine is more custom with the summit graphic and softer flex.
Love lunch time powder runs

Being able to ride around a lot more of the mountain was a blast today. It meant checking out terrain for this winter and really getting a feel for my new home mountain. The amount of snow we received in a short period of time has been awesome but also means dangers on the mountain. Ski Patrol has been busy with avalanche control in the mornings and I've been hearing the bombs go off when I walk my dog in the early AM. Here's a look at the top of the mountain and one of the fracture lines from an avalanche on the top left.

One thing I'm really stoked on is the newest progression park at Mammoth, Stomping Grounds. They just put up the new air bag today and just like Windells this summer, you can hit the jump into the bag. It costs each day to use but excited to try it out a couple times this season.
Excited for Thanksgiving tomorrow! I'll be heading up to Tahoe to spend the holiday with family.
