It's disappointing to feel sad for no reason. Sadness can be almost pleasantly indulgent when you have a way to justify it - you can listen to sad music and imagine yourself as the protagonist in a dramatic movie. You can gaze out the window while you're crying and think "This is so sad. I can't even believe how sad this whole situation is. I bet even a reenactment of my sadness could bring an entire theater audience to tears."
But my sadness didn't have a purpose. Listening to sad music and imagining that my life was a movie just made me feel kind of weird because I couldn't really get behind the idea of a movie where the character is sad for no reason.
Essentially, I was being robbed of my right to feel self pity, which is the only redeeming part of sadness.
And for a little bit, that was a good enough reason to pity myself.
Standing around feeling sorry for myself was momentarily exhilarating, but I grew tired of it quickly. "That will do," I thought. "I've had my fun, let's move on to something else now." But the sadness didn't go away.
I tried to force myself to not be sad.
When I couldn't will myself to not be sad, I became frustrated and angry. In a final, desperate attempt to regain power over myself, I turned to shame as a sort of motivational tool.
But, since I was depressed, this tactic was less inspirational and more just a way to oppress myself with hatred.
Which then made me more frustrated and abusive.
And that made me even more sad, and so on and so forth until the only way to adequately express my sadness was to crawl very slowly across the floor.
The self-loathing and shame had ceased to be even slightly productive, but it was too late to go back at that point, so I just kept going. I followed myself around like a bully, narrating my thoughts and actions with a constant stream of abuse.
I spent months shut in my house, surfing the internet on top of a pile of my own dirty laundry which I set on the couch for "just a second" because I experienced a sudden moment of apathy on my way to the washer and couldn't continue. And then, two weeks later, I still hadn't completed that journey. But who cares - it wasn't like I had been showering regularly and sitting on a pile of clothes isn't necessarily uncomfortable. But even if it was, I couldn't feel anything through the self hatred anyway, so it didn't matter. JUST LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE.
Slowly, my feelings started to shrivel up. The few that managed to survive the constant beatings staggered around like wounded baby deer, just biding their time until they could die and join all the other carcasses strewn across the wasteland of my soul.
I couldn't even muster up the enthusiasm to hate myself anymore.
I just drifted around, completely unsure of what I was feeling or whether I could actually feel anything at all.
If my life was a movie, the turning point of my depression would have been inspirational and meaningful. It would have involved wisdom-filled epiphanies about discovering my true self and I would conquer my demons and go on to live out the rest of my life in happiness.
Instead, my turning point mostly hinged upon the fact that I had rented some movies and then I didn't return them for too long.
The late fees had reached the point where the injustice of paying any more than I already owed outweighed my apathy. I considered just keeping the movies and never going to the video store again, but then I remembered that I still wanted to re-watch Jumanji.
I put on some clothes, put the movies in my backpack and biked to the video store. It was the slowest, most resentful bike ride ever.
And when I arrived, I found out that they didn't even have Jumanji in.
Just as I was debating whether I should settle on a movie that wasn't Jumanji or go home and stare in abject silence, I noticed a woman looking at me weirdly from a couple rows over.
She was probably looking at me that way because I looked really, really depressed and I was dressed like an eskimo vagrant.
Normally, I would have felt an instant, crushing sense of self-consciousness, but instead, I felt nothing.
I've always wanted to not give a fuck. While crying helplessly into my pillow for no good reason, I would often fantasize that maybe someday I could be one of those stoic badasses whose emotions are mostly comprised of rock music and not being afraid of things. And finally - finally - after a lifetime of feelings and anxiety and more feelings, I didn't have any feelings left. I had spent my last feeling being disappointed that I couldn't rent Jumanji.
I felt invincible.
And thus began a tiny rebellion.

Airlink101 AR680Wv1 Login
Do you own a AR680Wv1 router model from the popular router brand Airlink101? And not sure how to get logged into the admin console of your router? If this thing happens with you, then you're in the right place!
Here in this guide, I'm going to cover everything about the AR680Wv1 router model from Airlink101. You can read this guide to learn about the default username and password used by the Airlink101's AR680Wv1. It can also include sharing the default IP address of the router.
When it comes to popular router brands, people also prefer to use Airlink101 router, and it is convenient to use with lots of functionalities.
With the AR680Wv1 router model, you can easily make changes to default settings, including changing the router's username, password, and making changes to network settings. Additionally, you can reboot your device remotely.
How to Login to AR680Wv1
Most of the time, the default IP address used by Airlink101's AR680Wv1 router model is 192.168.1.1 – but in some cases, if you got your router from the Internet Service Provider, then the IP address of your router may vary.
I would suggest you first log in to the 192.168.1.1 IP address of your Airlink101's AR680Wv1. This is the IP address which is mostly used by this router.
To login to your Airlink101's AR680Wv1 router model, simply use the IP address of your router (which is most probably 192.168.1.1 in this router case), and enter this IP address in your favorite browser and hit enter (Only after connecting with the wifi network of your router).
You can also click here => 192.168.1.1, (It will automatically send you to your router's admin console)
If 192.168.1.1 is the actual IP address of your router, it instantly opens the default login page, where it may ask you for the default username and password of your router (or the username and password you already setup to the device).
Once you're on the login page of your router, enter your username and password you used to login to the admin console. If you're setting up your router for the first time, you have to enter the default username and password, which you can find on the user manual of your router or in our database here.
Once you enter the credentials of your AR680Wv1, it will authenticate you. If you're using the correct username and password, it will send you to the admin console from where you can manage everything your router allows you to manage.
Bingo! You successfully logged into your admin console of AR680Wv1.
How to Find the IP Address of AR680Wv1 Router?
If you're not sure that your router uses the 192.168.1.1, then you can manually find the IP address of your router. Finding the IP address is not so hard and you can easily retrieve your password by just running a single command on your device.
But before we share the method to find the IP address of your wireless router, I need you to once enter the 192.168.1.1 in the address bar of your browser and check whether it shows you the login page of your router or not!
Obviously, after connecting with the wifi network of your AR680Wv1. You can also connect to it using an ethernet cable.
If it shows you an error or takes a lot more time in loading the page, then probably 192.168.1.1 is not your actual IP address of AR680Wv1. If it is not your actual IP address,
you can run the below command on your macOS terminal to detect your "inet" IP address of your device.
ifconfig | grep "inet" | grep -Fv 127.0.0.1 | awk '{print $2}'
And if you're on a windows device, you can open the command prompt by typing "windows key +R" and entering "cmd". Once the black windows are open, type the below command, and just hit enter.
This way you'll find the default "Gateway IP Address" of your device.
Default Username & Password of AR680Wv1
You can easily find the default username and password of your router and to do so just check the user manual of your AR680Wv1. It contains the default credentials along with the IP address of your router.
If you're not able to find the default username and password of your AR680Wv1 router, then you can also check in our database where we have shared the credentials of 470+ router brands and 5,000+ models. And the best part is, we arranged the data in alphanumeric order, so you can easily navigate the credentials of your router.
How to Reset My AR680Wv1
Resetting a router is pretty simple. Each of the routers comes with a button to reset it to its initial stage at the bottom of its body.
Depending on the model of your router, the button might be easily accessible or may require a pin just like the sim card ejector tool to press it.
All you need is to press the button of your AR680Wv1 router's at the bottom for 2-3seconds and your router will get reset to its initial settings and passwords.
Once the router is reset, you can use the default username and password to again login to the admin console of your router.
Wrapping Up!
In this guide, we have shared about setting up the AR680Wv1 router from Airlink101. We also shared the default username and password, which is being used by the AR680Wv1 and the IP address it probably uses.
I hope you love this article on finding the username, password, and the IP address of AR680Wv1. If you do so, please share it with your friends and let us help them too!

Issue 152, Fall 1999
"Nothing good was ever written in a large room," David McCullough says, and so his own office has been reduced to a windowed shed in the backyard of his Martha's Vineyard home. Known as "the bookshop," the shed does not have a telephone or running water. Its primary contents are a Royal typewriter, a green banker's lamp, and a desk, which McCullough keeps control over by "flushing out" the loose papers after each chapter is finished. The view from inside the bookshop is of a sagging barn surrounded by pasture. To keep from being startled, McCullough asks his family members to whistle as they approach the shed where he is writing.
In its simplicity and modesty, the bookshop is characteristic of an author who prefers to deflect credit for his success—to his material, to his family members, to his upbringing. McCullough's wife Rosalee was present throughout the interview. We were sitting in the McCulloughs' low-ceilinged living room, which became progressively darker as the tape recorder rolled on, so that by the end of the afternoon, with the lights off, only the nineteenth-century library across the street was clearly visible. During the entire time, almost eight hours, McCullough spoke vigorously and quickly, growing hoarse but never seeming tired.
In person the sixty-six-year-old McCullough is somewhat different from the image projected on public television, where he frequently hosts and narrates programs. The voice, coming out of shadows across the room, was full of emotion. His face seemed longer, his eyes larger. He gestured often, sometimes calling attention to nearby objects, such as a piece of cable from the Brooklyn Bridge. At the end of the meeting, he issued an impromptu dinner invitation and whipped up a delicious pasta with clam sauce, one of his specialties.
McCullough was born in Pittsburgh in 1933 and grew up in the boom years of World War II steel production. He attended Yale, where he studied English and visual arts, and got a job at Sports Illustrated in New York after graduation. During the 1960s he edited and wrote for American Heritage magazine and briefly worked for the United States Information Agency. His first book, The Johnstown Flood (1968), was not published until McCullough was thirty-five and already married with several children.
He has won the Pulitzer Prize, two National Book Awards, the Francis Parkman Prize and dozens of other honors, and not a single one of his books—including Truman (1992), The Great Bridge (1972), and The Path Between the Seas (1977)—has ever been out of print.
Would you tell us about the motto tacked over your desk?
DAVID McCULLOUGH
It says, "Look at your fish." It's the test that Louis Agassiz, the nineteenth-century Harvard naturalist, gave every new student. He would take an odorous old fish out of a jar, set it in a tin pan in front of the student and say, Look at your fish. Then Agassiz would leave. When he came back, he would ask the student what he'd seen. Not very much, they would most often say, and Agassiz would say it again: Look at your fish. This could go on for days. The student would be encouraged to draw the fish but could use no tools for the examination, just hands and eyes. Samuel Scudder, who later became a famous entomologist and expert on grasshoppers, left us the best account of the "ordeal with the fish." After several days, he still could not see whatever it was Agassiz wanted him to see. But, he said, I see how little I saw before. Then Scudder had a brainstorm and he announced it to Agassiz the next morning: Paired organs, the same on both sides. Of course! Of course! Agassiz said, very pleased. So Scudder naturally asked what he should do next, and Agassiz said, Look at your fish.
I love that story and have used it often when teaching classes on writing, because seeing is so important in this work. Insight comes, more often than not, from looking at what's been on the table all along, in front of everybody, rather than from discovering something new. Seeing is as much the job of an historian as it is of a poet or a painter, it seems to me. That's Dickens's great admonition to all writers, "Make me see."
Have you had Scudder moments?
Oh, yes. I suppose the most vivid one—when I actually felt something like a charge of electricity run up my spine—was while working on the puzzle of young Theodore Roosevelt's asthma. Hoping to pin down the cause of his attacks, I had been talking to a physician who raised such questions as whether there was a dog or a cat in the house or if the attacks occurred during the pollen season. Then a specialist in psychosomatic aspects of the illness suggested a different approach. Did the attacks come before or after some big event? Or before the boy's birthday, or the night before a trip, or just before or after Christmas? Using his diary entries, I made a calendar of what he was doing every day. In pencil I wrote where he was, who was with him, what was going on, and in red ink I put squares around the days of the asthma attacks. But, a little like Scudder and the fish, I couldn't see a pattern. Then first thing one morning, without really thinking about it, I looked at the calendar lying on my desk, and I saw what I'd been missing. The red boxes were all in a row—the attacks were all happening on Sunday. I thought, What happens on Sunday? Then it began to make sense. If he had an attack, he didn't have to go to church, which he hated, and his father would take him to the country. He loved the country, and when it was just he and his father alone—that was pure heaven. This doesn't mean the attacks were planned. The closest analogy to an asthma attack might be a case of the hiccups—you don't decide to have them, and yet just as the hiccups can be ended by something traumatic some kinds of asthmatic attacks are triggered by anxiety. Roosevelt paid an awful price for those trips because attacks such as he had were horrible. There may well have been other things contributing to the attacks, but the Sunday pattern was too pronounced to be coincidental.
There's another scene in Mornings on Horseback that I felt was crucial to understanding Roosevelt's character, which might not be considered important by conventional standards. The family was taking a trip up the Nile and young Theodore, who was an amateur taxidermist, shot and stuffed a number of birds. So I went out and found out how taxidermy is done. It takes patience and dexterity, and it's smelly and grubby—a kind of work that would be very difficult for a child. And if you do it on a boat with your whole family present, you upstage them all. There's a paragraph or two in the book about the process of stuffing a bird, because I thought that would show a lot about the boy. I didn't want to say, He was a bright boy who did things other boys couldn't. I wanted the reader to know it.
Novelists talk about their characters starting to do things they didn't expect them to. Well, I imagine every writer of biography or history, as well as fiction, has the experience of suddenly seeing a few pieces of the puzzle fit together. The chances of finding a new piece are fairly remote—though I've never written a book where I didn't find something new—but it's more likely you see something that's been around a long time that others haven't seen. Sometimes it derives from your own nature, your own interests. More often, it's just that nobody bothered to look closely enough.
What led you to become a writer?
Thornton Wilder was a fellow at my college at Yale. Here was a world-celebrated writer for us to talk to, to have lunch with—imagine!—and he was easy to talk to, delightful. Later, while working in New York, I read the interview with him in The Paris Review. I can't tell you what a difference it made for me. When asked why he wrote books and plays, he said, "I think I write in order to discover on my shelf a new book that I would enjoy reading or to see a new play that would engross me." If it didn't exist, he wrote it so he could read it or see it.
What were you doing in New York?
After graduation I got a job at Time-Life, as a trainee at Sports Illustrated, a new magazine. I worked there and on others of the Time-Life magazines for five years, and for a number of different editors. One of them had a big rubber stamp and a red ink pad. The stamp had a four letter word on it and if he didn't like what you'd written, he'd stamp it and send it back. The word was dull. When you'd had that done to you a couple of times, you began to get the point.
Earlier, as a graduation present, I'd been given A Stillness at Appomattox by Bruce Catton. And though I didn't know it at the time, that book really changed the course of my life. I thought it was just marvelous and wondered, How do you do that? I read more of Catton and other books about the Civil War. Margaret Leech's Reveille in Washington stands out in memory. I was finding my way, I suppose.
When did you decide, to use Thornton Wilder's words, to "write the book you wanted to read"?
It was when I came across a set of old photographs of the Johnstown flood. When we were little kids, we used to make a lake of gravy in our mashed potatoes; then we'd take a fork, break the potatoes, and say, The Johnstown flood!—with no idea why in the world we did it. That was about all I knew about it until I saw the photographs of the flood, quite by chance at the Library of Congress. I became extremely curious to know what had happened and why. I went to the library and found a book, and it was only so-so. The author had some of the geography of western Pennsylvania wrong, I could see, and he didn't answer certain questions I felt he should have. I took out another book, a potboiler written at the time of the disaster, and it was even less satisfactory. So I decided to try to write the book I wanted to read. I wasn't at all sure how to go about it. One evening, in New York, at a gathering of writers and historians interested in the West, my boss, Alvin Josephy, pointed to a white-haired man across the room. He said, That's Harry Drago. Harry Sinclair Drago. He's written over a hundred books. I waited for my chance and walked over. Mr. Drago, I said, Alvin Josephy says that you've written over a hundred books. Yes, he said, that's right. How do you do that? I asked. And he said, Four pages a day. Every day? Every day. It was the best advice an aspiring writer could be given.
I wrote The Johnstown Flood at night after work. I would come home, we'd have dinner, put the kids to bed, and then at about nine I would go to a little room upstairs, close the door, and start working. I tried to write not four but two pages every night. Our oldest daughter remembers going to sleep to the sound of the typewriter.
What kind of research did you do for that book?
Well, one of the great resources I came across was testimony taken by the Pennsylvania Railroad from their employees after the flood. It was done in anticipation of lawsuits. They brought people in and sat them down and said, Tell us what you saw and what you did. Thus we've been left with many reports of the disaster from a cross section of the population, all in their own words.

Gastric Dilatation Volvulus (GDV) is a multifactorial issue that can be caused by a combination of genetics, anatomy, and environmental factors. GDV is the twisting of the stomach in a way that cuts off blood supply, trapping gasses and creating a life-threatening circumstance. Typically, larger dog breeds or breeds with narrow, deep chests are at a higher risk for GDV, and that risk increases with age. Cats and small dogs can still develop GDV, though it is very rare.
GDV is a two part process in which the stomach first bloats or dilates, filling with air, then undergoes torsion or volvulus, spinning on its axis. In less severe cases, a pet suffers from bloat (gastric dilatation) alone. The actual twisting of the stomach (volvulus) is a life-threatening situation that can be fatal within a matter of minutes. When a pet suffers GDV it can then cause the following emergencies:
If your pet can burp or vomit it is probably not experiencing GDV. However, if your pet seems to be in excruciating pain, contact our office immediately and we can initiate tests to check for torsion.
Symptoms that could indicate Gastric Dilatation Volvulus:
Treatment options for bloat and Gastric Dilatation Volvulus
Gastric dilatation is considered an emergency situation. Once your pet arrives, we will assess their condition and administer any necessary pain relievers or antibiotics prior to gastric decompression. After relieving the bloat from the stomach, we will perform X-rays to determine if your pet is suffering from dilatation alone or if volvulus has also occurred.
If volvulus is present, surgical options will be discussed. Surgery is necessary to return internal organs to their normal positioning, and permanent gastropexy (surgically securing stomach in upright position) is often recommended. Once a volvulus has occurred, 75 to 80% of dogs develop it again; gastropexy can prevent future reoccurrences of GDV.
If you witness any of these changes in your pet, please contact our office immediately as it could indicate a serious health emergency.

Consolidate Your Debt and Save
Customer Service First
Use your home equity to reduce your credit card debt.
Many Canadians are taking advantage of refinancing some of the equity in their mortgage to reduce their credit card debt. Why pay high interest rates on your bank's credit card debt when you can add that debt to your mortgage and pay a much lower interest rate! One important part of a strategy is knowing "good debt" from "bad debt". A well-planned mortgage can help you turn those bad debts into good debts and get them out of the way.
- Consolidate high interest rate credit cards to one lower rate.
- Save money and increase cash flow.
- Reduce stress knowing that your financial situation is now manageable.
If you'd like to have a conversation about refinancing your debt, give me a call today to review your options. It's time to beat the banks!

Discovering new food blogs is always an interesting thing. I love going through their archives, checking texts, recipes and photos, getting to know a little about that foodie – who will probably become a blogger friend.
One of my latest "findings" is packed with beautiful photos and delicious recipes, and the girl behind it is a huge Martha fan, like me. I'm talking about Mimi.
She is hosting an event called "Martha Mondays" and I really liked her idea. One of the rules was to cook a recipe from this gallery and, to please my dear husband – who has been eating tons of chicken and fish lately because of me – I chose a beef dish.
If I keep making dishes like this, Joao will end up joining the Martha fan club as well. :)
Rolled flank steak
680g (1½ lb) flank steak - I used a different cut
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 cloves garlic, crushed
½ cup (57g/2oz) shredded mozzarella cheese – I used the yellow mozzarella we have here, made from cow's milk
4 scallions, sliced
¼ cup (57g/2oz) roasted red peppers, cut into thin strips
sea salt and freshly ground pepper
Preheat oven to 230ºC/450ºF with rack in center. Between two sheets of plastic wrap, pound steak to 1.25cm (½-inch) thickness with a meat mallet or heavy skillet. Using a sharp knife, score the steak on one side in a cross-hatched pattern. In a large bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar, and garlic. Place the steak inside and marinate at least 20 minutes or up to overnight.
Remove steak from marinade. Lay steak on cutting board, scored side down, with a short end facing edge of work surface. Cover steak with cheese, scallions, and peppers, leaving 1.25cm (½-inch) border on the long sides and 5cm (2-inch) border at the far short end. Season with salt and pepper. Starting from closest side, roll up tightly. Using kitchen twine, tie steak crosswise.
Season with salt and pepper.
Place, seam side down in a lightly oiled baking dish or on a rimmed baking sheet, and roast until juices run clear, 35 to 40 minutes for medium rare. Let rest 10 minutes, and remove string before slicing.
Serves 4 – I used a 400g steak and my husband ate 80% of it. :)

Use Health Benefits and FSA Funds to Your Advantage
Hearing insurance, while only offered to about 15 percent of the workforce, can provide much greater relief in terms of cost. Regardless, these benefits run dry at the end of the year if they aren't used, so be sure to contact your insurer for more information about your specific policy.
If Brooks Hearing & Speech Clinic is a preferred provider with your insurance company, we will directly bill your insurance for payment. Your employer may also offer an FSA or HSA (flexible spending account or health spending account) that pulls money from your paycheck pre-tax and sets it aside for future medical expenses.
In this case, the costs would still come out of your pocket, but it would be untaxed. If you've already used your FSA funds for the year, please consider what your hearing needs will be next year when you sit down with your company's benefits coordinator and decide how much of your paycheck you'd like to reserve tax-free.

Blog Block
I got that blog writer's block virus. (Cartoon credit: A Perfect World) Don't know where I got it or how I got it, but I got it. Maybe an antibiotic will make it go away? Maybe I need to go to the blog block doc? Maybe I need Jenny from the block? Maybe I need to plan a blog block party?
What do you do when you're hit with writer's block?
27 comments:
I take a blog break . . . get some rest!
- Friday, January 19, 2007 12:01:00 AM
I do a stupid quiz or find a meme to do.
- Friday, January 19, 2007 12:14:00 AM
I read some of the funiest soaps LOL you should see what your up to in the soap world LOL... trying to take over the bar piffle LOL get some rest!!
- Friday, January 19, 2007 1:39:00 AM
I usually just go over to some other blog I like, usually someone who writes just a little better and a little funnier than I do and perform a simple action called "cut" and "paste." It's not like I'm plagurizing a term paper or something important like that!
One tip - don't link to the blog in question. It looks fishy. - Friday, January 19, 2007 8:15:00 AM
I eat sweeties, and stare out the window, maybe if I stare long enough the words will come flying to me....hihihih....
- Friday, January 19, 2007 8:24:00 AM
I'm also scared of having a blog block. But don't worry, take a break or play soccer. :)
- Friday, January 19, 2007 11:10:00 AM
I write - anything, even just random emails or blog comments! But, I keep it completely unserious.
Hope your better soon.
Dr. G - Friday, January 19, 2007 11:54:00 AM
Take a break and run or hang out with the most creative person you know. They always think outside the box and they'll help you think outside the box. One remedy that I heard with freeing up writers block is to play with 7 year olds, just watch their imagination just roam everywhere.
- Friday, January 19, 2007 12:15:00 PM
I usually just start writing whatever is in my head, even if it is nothing and eventually it turns into something I can post. I often shouldn't post what comes out but I do anyway because I have no shame.
- Friday, January 19, 2007 1:59:00 PM
I normally take a little mini break from writing and bake/cook for myself vs my readers. I find that during my little break I discover something I just have to write about. I also keep a little journal (a nice notebook and pen to actually put pen to paper with) and jot down ideas for posts. I may not write on them for several months after I jot them down but when the occasional block happens, I have them to fall back to. You'll eventually get back to writing! Promise!

Sometimes I'll just post links to fun sites or sites I dont want to loose track of. Other times I'll post a picture (speaks a 1000 words they say) of something going on in my life. Still other times I just go live and think and digest life until I am struck with the mood to write again.(not to mention-it gives me something new to blog about oftentimes) I have often seen people that blog often need to take breaks to stay fresh with their blogs. No shame in writers block.
- Friday, January 19, 2007 3:57:00 PM
Just do what makes you happy.I make a graphics and sometime,I get artistic block,and I listen to music,just to shake things up a little,it helps to get my creative juices flowing again.
- Friday, January 19, 2007 4:39:00 PM
well doc i sure don't have an answer for you as to blogging, why not go "commenting" for awhile and maybe that will get you over it. you know, drop lots and lots of comments in the blogesphere and the writing you do there may unblock you. otherwise, i suggest a suppository. smiles, bee
- Friday, January 19, 2007 5:55:00 PM
I wander around other blogs and sometimes comment. I usually find something interesting, and sometimes that will give me something to say. I have to admit, recently, I've had far too much to say.
- Friday, January 19, 2007 7:03:00 PM
Receipe for blog block (do in order):
1. open red wine.
2. pour glass of wine.
3. stare at puter screen - drink from glass.
4. stare at puter screen - drink from glass.
If you have not started writing - then:
5. surf news stories
6. stare at puter screen - drink from glass.
7. surf other blogs
8. stare at puter screen - drink from glass.
if you have not started writing by now - it doesn't matter, you've been drinking wine...so go out and find some new people to interact with...try a social experiment on the street...
then come home and write. - Friday, January 19, 2007 7:15:00 PM
Run your favorite music on iTunes in the background while you're blogging...
- Friday, January 19, 2007 8:46:00 PM
Yes, usually take a break or if it's time for a new MP3 that might suffice.
Also, just popping in to other blogs and seeing how everyone else is doing is good. Sometimes that can also provide some inspiration.
But yes, probably just not posting for a bit is the number one answer. - Saturday, January 20, 2007 11:23:00 AM

- Saturday, January 20, 2007 12:25:00 PM
There are times when I think I should not post just to given people a break, but I can't seem to stop myself. But the first step is admitting you have a problem, right?
You might be interested (or not) in this, from someone on the other side of the table:

Hey, Dr. A, how about writing something relatively personal? That is, something that is not repeating something that we don't already know/could find out from somewhere else?
I am guilty of posting such information (that people could find somewhere else) at times but not as much as you. I look at the page that currently loads when I access your blog and I find ...
- writer's block
- American Idol (yawn)
- A meme
- Grand Rounds announcement
- A link to a link that links back to you
- A link to a uterus transplant
- Remembering MLK on a national holiday
- A post of your bestest blog
- Re-telling of lost in Missouri
- CNN news
- A follow up on your Fat Fido post
- Whoohoo! Apple's iphone.
I for one would like to see something that comes from *you*.
Perhaps then you wouldn't be facing a blog block?
Come on, Dr. A, let's see something ORIGINAL. What makes Dr. A the man that he is? - Sunday, January 21, 2007 1:59:00 AM
It happens to us all Sweetie. Try some prunes! ;0}
- Sunday, January 21, 2007 2:58:00 AM
Try reading the New York Times' Science and Health pages. There's almost always some dumb opinion piece in there that'll raise your righteous ire. Works for me almost every time.
- Sunday, January 21, 2007 9:19:00 AM

- Sunday, January 21, 2007 3:35:00 PM
I watch funny TV shows (mostly Will & Grace) for inspiration. And, if inspiration does not come, at least I got a few laughs.
- Sunday, January 21, 2007 5:55:00 PM
I'm blocked too. Maybe Ex-Lax?
No wonder: bloggers got it rough - - we try to stay somewhere near the truth. Not like that liar who wrote my biography, RUTHIE BLACK.

Thanks for visiting our Garden Annexe page. Here you can see a range of ideas that we can incorporate into your outdoor studio.
A garden annex is very popular due to the extra room that it can provide. Having an annex can be great for nearby homes that want to expand their living space or require more room for guests.
There are a range of styles of annexes that we have to offer, including both single and double storey buildings which can be perfect for your every need.
We can provide you with the information you need to ensure that you can find what you are looking for and give you our advice on what would work best for you in your surrounding area.
Get in touch with us today if you'd like to find out more information and speak to a member of our team. Simply fill in your details in the enquiry form above.
A garden annex is a separate accommodation, away from the main household, often used for guests and visitors.
Many houses in the UK use a granny annex as extra space that can accommodate elder family members as well as for those who come to visit them.
As outdoor building specialists, we can help you create a space that will expand your current living situation and give the added space you require.
A garden annex comes usually with one bedroom, small kitchen, bathroom and seating area and is placed within the garden nearby the main home.
A variety of internal and external features may be added with the general specification, based on what you'd like to build. You could pick between a number of doors and windows, roof covering designs, flooring and wall décor.
Any electric or plumbing features will also be developed and integrated for the best efficiency. Bathroom amenities could be incorporated with the outdoor garden studio design to allow maximum comfort and efficiency.
Get in touch with us today if you would like to find out more information and speak to one of our experts!
These garden studios are commonly called granny annexes due to them being built to look after your elderly relatives. Some people choose to take care of their parents but still want to keep their lives separate.
An annex is a great option as it still gives all the facilities you need in a home, but is located on the premises of the house. We are extremely pleased with our diverse product selection for external garden studios.
With all the newest technical specifications, we can provide each customer with the up to date solutions and products. It's essential for the area to look great, but our specialists consistently make certain that the construction and fine details won't be compromised.
We can help you with the process of design as we know what works best and what may be suitable for each individual.
We offer both one story and two storey granny annex and can provide any facility you need including a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and seating area.
One must always choose the best contractor if you want to install an outside garden studio at your home. That is why we're here to guide you all the way - simply tell us what you're looking for and what you wish to achieve.
When you have decided on what outdoor garden studio you are after, you will then need to decide upon a budget. Its best to be aware of how much you are wanting to spend so we know the spending limit that we need to stay closest to.
Make sure to let us know just how much you're ideally planning to pay, and we will give some guidance on exactly where would be best to install the room, as well as assist with making the layout.
To ensure the building project is as simple as it can be, we will get the vital info such as access to site. We'll take photos, outline measurements and explain the facility's specifications and what you might anticipate throughout the build.
There are a range of factors which can influence the price of building a granny annex. The main factor will be the size of the outdoor garden studio. If you are wanting a two storey, large property built, this will obviously have a higher cost compared to a smaller granny annex.
Another way the costs will be impacted is when you decide on what features you'd like to add. If you go for all the rooms such as a kitchen, bathroom etc... the cost will be increased.
Depending on what you're wanting to use the property for will impact the price you will spend. For an accurate price of the granny annex in your surrounding area contact out team today.
As we are experts of installing and designing a granny annex, we know what will work best and create the highest quality garden studios [POSTCODE]
We have years of experience and knowledge to create the annexes just how you expect. Whichever size of outdoor room you want, we are able to install it.
Customised to your own specific preferences, the unique flexibility that we provide helps to ensure that your garden studio is created exactly how you'd like it. This can depend on your price range as well as the overall specification of the building.
We will be able to provide specialist suggestions to make sure that the garden room looks fantastic and functions just how you need it to. You will work with an expert team at every stage, with an expert project manager to guide the build.
A detailed work plan will be developed after a consultation with yourself. You'll be kept up to date regarding any adjustments that might be required to the overall plan.
The project manager organises the site construction staff and oversees the process from beginning to end.
If you would like more information regarding the garden annexes that we can design and install, get in touch with us today.
Please fill out the enquiry form above with your details and what you'd like and a member of our expert team will get back to you shortly. As we have years of experience we know what works well and the best way to carry out the work successfully.

Upon purchase, please specify an accurate ring size for a 6 mm wide band. If you prefer an alternate band style, please feel free to browse my shop and sold orders for a different design. Simply send me a message to discuss the options. A price adjustment may be applied for the alternate design of your choice.

Evan Ackerfeld
"Dwight and his team are results-driven experts at their craft. We keep him on retainer for all of our website/ SEO/ server needs. I recommend their work all the time to many other soon-to-be satisfied customers. A+"
Quinn McCarthy
"I wanted to rebuild my site and My Denver Web Design did an amazing job. Dwight asked all the right questions to understand what I wanted from the start and quickly built a site with the feel I wanted to present. He was easy to work with, a clear communicator, and he even added some nice creative touches of his own. Since we launched the updated site 2 months ago , it's already drawing significantly more traffic than my previous site. Happy to recommend."
Angie Lee
"We have been working with Dwight for several years. He provided the development for our own website, as well as several of our clients. Dwight is always quick to respond to questions, and he is a great problem-solver. He understands his client's communication needs. Dwight is helpful and supportive with not only design/development, but also SEO and social media. We highly recommend My Denver Web Design and Dwight Thompson."
Travis Young
"We've used Dwight for years for our music festival website. As a freewheeling bunch of musicians and artists, we're never organized enough to give him time to make the updates we need... and it doesn't matter. He's always on it. And his designs earn us compliments and drive ticket sales every year. Highly recommended."
Wil Smith

"Dwight built my business website in a very timely manner, with little to no branding in place, he took photos I sent and built the whole custom website theme that is professional!!! He is very responsive with any questions and all the functions on the website works flawlessly! I.e e-commerce store, started selling merchandise right away, it was explained in detail how to handle all of it as I'm not a tech guy! Would definitely recommend the content plan , if you are short on time and know how!"

Seth Jeremy
"I've had many websites built by him and other web designers. The ones built by Dwight surpass every other person that I've worked with. While Dwight's websites are great this is not his most impressive skill. His best work is as follows; efficient quality work done in a timely manner with attention to detail. Massive knowledge in SEO, social networking, marketing, ads, and upkeep. Especially for small businesses or non-profit his consultation on over-spending and putting your spending to use is invaluable."
Shelley Hodge

Jerry Weiss

AND came in under budget!"

Maximize your "spacewalk" experience with the 21mm Ethos. Transform your passage through the Milky Way with the 21mm's nexus of contrast, power and field. Larger deep sky objects and rich star fields are its natural playground. Looking on-axis your field-of-vision is filled with 100º of stars, however wherever you chose to concentrate your attention you'll see sharpness and richer contrast.
The optical performance of the 21mm is the work of Ethos lead designer Paul Dellachaiae, who achieved a level of optical aberration correction right in line with his other Ethos designs. Contrast and transmission have been maximized using the same advanced coating techniques and further aided by the internal mechanical design techniques used in all Tele Vue eyepieces.
Extending the Ethos focal length range to 21mm while maintaining the original performance goals of the rest of the series brings the eyepiece up against the mechanical limits of the 2" barrel and focus constraints. The 21mm provides the maximum true field of view, has no significant vignetting at the edge of the field, and is parfocal with the 31mm Nagler Type 5.
The 21mm focal length completes the logical set of 21mm/13mm/8mm and nicely juxtaposes the 17mm/10mm/6mm combination. Each step within these two sets approaches a 3X field area gain. The 21mm's effective field stop diameter is 36.2mm, bringing its true field close to the 35mm Panoptic (38.7mm Field Stop diameter). Its true field is also larger than the 26mm Nagler with its 35mm effective field stop diameter. In an f/4 Dobsonian, the exit pupil is just 5.25mm using the 21mm Ethos instead of 8.75mm with a 35mm Panoptic, or 6.5mm with a 26mm Nagler.
Like all Tele Vue eyepieces, every 21mm Ethos goes through our optical and cosmetic quality control procedure in Chester, NY and should your eyepiece ever need service we can do everything from replacing a dented barrel to replacing a scratched eyelens.
Since all Ethos models accept Dioptrx, you now also have the "final frontier" – the ability to compensate for your own eyesight astigmatism with a superb multi-coated lens providing your exact correction, rotation orientation and centration over the eyepiece. This is the culmination of our quest to not only bring you observing experiences "…even better than you imagined," but a 30-year recognition of being "tops in the field."

Questionable Architecture: Terry Rathje in Collaboration with Steve Banks and Monica Correia
Questionable Architecture: Terry Rathje in Collaboration with Steve Banks and Monica Correia
Quad Cities artist Terry Rathje will create a sculptural installation on the fourth floor of the Figge Art Museum exploring the interaction of function and form in structures designed digitally and built by hand. Inspired by stupas, pagodas, ziggurats and roadside shrines, these structures are a mix of sculpture and architecture whose design may have a visual impact completely unrelated to their use. The show will include movable structures made of repurposed materials as well as a structure created onsite that visitors will be invited to enter. "After several years of building structures such as this, which reference vernacular architecture, it was natural to imagine what many of them together might look like as a village, one that might pick up and move to a new location if conditions warranted." The installation will be designed and constructed with the collaboration of designer Monica Correia and artist Steve Banks.
Terry Rathje is Assistant Professor of Graphic Design at Western Illinois University. He received his MFA in 3D Design from the University of Iowa, and has created site-specific sculptures in many venues throughout the region, in addition to exhibiting his constructions and assemblage pieces. Monica Correia is Associate Professor of Design at the University of Iowa. A native of Brazil, she has extensive experience as a designer in Brazil and in the U.S. Quad Cities artist Steve Banks, a graduate of Florida State University, creates multi-media works that combine sculptural and painted elements.
View the installation process for this exhibition.
This exhibition will be on view June 1-August 25, 2013.

On this eve of a brand new year, (edit: I was writing this last night) I have spent a good part of this last week reflecting on the year gone by while helping our best and dearest neighbors move. We dealt with it the only way we have handled life in the past three years on our street: a long table in the backyard, lots of oysters and a bucket of cold beers, all hurdled around a big fire, watching the kids run around, the dogs chase each others and the adult pretend they were still twenty and carefree. No, it wasn't all rosy but not everything is and as we went around the table and gave personal highlights of the year passed, I exclaimed "It's been a pretty fantabulastic year!".
Professionaly for sure as I am currently buckling down in finishing the manuscript for the cookbook and working on a couple of surprises for you. But looking at all these friends gathered around the table hugging, laughing and reminiscing, my heart was soring for having formed stronger ties will all of them and all of you in the past year. I love and live hard and you listen…
As a last get together in the tradition of 2008, we each brought our own specialty and as you can imagine, I brought dessert. We decided to go all out and have a pre New Year's Eve celebration since much like Christmas our little nucleus would be spread out on Wednesday night. Candles and garlands were hung around the yard, Champagne replaced beers and toast and smoked salmon replaced chips and dips. In my family, we share a slice of Galette des Rois on New Year's Day but I decided to change things around keeping the main components of the galette, puff pastry and almond frangipane cream and layering poached quince and pear slices that I had in the freezer. I did tuck in a little ceramic figurine inside one of the tartelette as the tradition calls for and one of us was indeed crowned king that night. Good cheer and good fun.
Poached Pear and Quince Frangipane Tartelettes Recipe:
Serves 6
For the puff pastry:
1/3 puff pastry (recipe here)
On a lightly floured board, roll the puff pastry into a 15×6 rectangle, cut out 6 rectangles (5×3). Prick them with a fork, lay them falt on a parchment lined baking sheet and refrigerate while preparing the fruit and the frangipane.
For the poached pear and quince:
1 quince, peeled, cored and sliced
1 pear, peeled cored and sliced
4 cups water
1/2 cup (100gr) sugar
6 cloves
2 star anise
2 cinnamon sticks
2 teaspoons lemon zest
In a large saucepan set over medium high heat, place the quince only and the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and continue to cook for about 45 minutes, or until soft. Remove the quince from the liquid and let cool to room temperature. Proceed the same way for the pear but only cook it for 15-20 minutes.
For the frangipane cream:
1 stick (115 gr) butter, softened
1/2 cup (100 gr) granulated sugar
1 cup (100 gr) ground almond
seeds from one vanilla bean or 2 teaspoons vanilla paste or extract
2 eggs
1/4 cup (60gr) heavy cream
Place the butter, sugar, almond powder, vanilla bean seeds and the eggs in a large bowl and whisk until smooth (can also be done in a food processor). Add the cream but stir in it instead of whisking not to emulsify it or it will rise while baking.
To assemble:
Preheat oven to 350F.
Evenly spread the frangipane cream over the puff pastry rectangles and layer the quince and pear slices over it. Sprinkle with chopped almonds or pistachios if desired. Bake for 35-40 minutes.
I am looking forward to 2009! You might see some new and familiar faces come and tend the fort while I wrap things up writing. They illustrate what 2008 has been for me: discovery after discovery of talents, creativity and friendships. A year in which the support and art of others have pushed me to get better, live better, breathe stronger.
You all have made 2008 a wonderful year for me and this site. I will continue to give back to you the best way I can through baking and photographing it of course but also by being more regular on your blogs as soon as things calm down a bit.
So cheers to you in 2009! Wishing you the best 🙂

Shingles (Herpes Zoster)
Shingles is a painful rash that is caused by the varicella zoster virus. It usually appears as a band or strip of blisters on one side of the body that goes from the spine around the front to the breastbone. However, the rash can also appear on the neck, nose and forehead.
Shingles derives from the same virus that causes chicken pox. After having chicken pox, the virus lies dormant in nerve tissue underneath the skin. Years later, and with no known reason, it reactivates and causes shingles. It is contagious and can easily pass through touching from one person to another. The virus develops into shingles for people who have had chicken pox and develops into chicken pox for those who have not had it. While the virus appears most frequently among older adults (age 60+) and in people with compromised immune systems. Generally, a person only gets shingles once; it rarely recurs.
Symptoms for shingles include:
- Pain, burning, numbness or tingling on one side of the body. The pain often precedes any other symptoms.
- A rash that appears a few days after the pain. It may be itchy.
- Blisters that break open and then crust over.
- Fever, achiness or headache.
Some people never get a rash or blisters, but simply experience the pain.
Shingles is diagnosed based on a medical history and physical examination of the telltale rash. If you suspect you may have shingles, it is important to contact your doctor as quickly as possible. Early treatment can reduce the pain and severity of the episode. Two types of medications are prescribed to treat shingles:
- Antiviral drugs to combat the virus, such as acyclovir, valacyclovir and famciclovir.
- Pain medicines, from oral pain pills and antidepressants to anticonvulsants and topical preparations that contain skin-numbing agents.
Shingles usually heals in about 2 to 3 weeks without any problem. However, there is a small percentage of patients (10% to 15%), predominantly over age 50, who experience pain that lasts beyond one month after the healing period. This is called postherpetic neuralgia. Catching shingles early and beginning treatment can reduce the likelihood and severity of postherpetic neuralgia. See your dermatologist for pain relief.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved a vaccine, called Zostavax, for the prevention of adult shingles. It is approved for adults age 60 or older who have had chicken pox. Essentially, the vaccine delivers a booster dose of chicken pox. The vaccine has proven to be very effective in reducing the incidence of shingles and postherpetic neuralgia.
