A few weird things happened to me while I was living at Sogenji, a training temple, in Okayama Japan.
As far as Buddhist monasteries go it wasn't very old, about 300 years, but there were some odd buildings and statues there. Above the giant entrance gate, made in the classic Japanese style, was a room accessible by staircase filled with statues of gods and demons with very realistic eyes that looked real when I shined my light on them. Okay, that's just creepy and unusual, but not too crazy. It get's weirder.
I was there to study with a monk who was just visiting, and one day during an intensive meditation retreat, I went to his hut, really out of sorts and dejected about meditation. He invited me to meditate with him. This definitely could have been the placebo effect or whatever, but I felt a very unusual, for lack of a better phrase, energy structure, fill my body. It was unlike anything I've experienced and I felt immediately better and more focused. (In full disclosure, there was a bunch of talk about receiving "transmission" of the right/ability to teach, and I could have been narcissistically projecting that onto the situation. But again, it felt very real.)
And there was that time with the master of Sogenji, Shodo Harada Roshi, who eventually became my teacher. We would have these formal interviews that were very intense. At 8pm, as we sat meditating, 7 fast bell strikes would ring throughout the temple grounds and we students would literally run down the rough unlit temple paths, in sandals, to line-up for interviews. The idea was to show your determination to learn, but it was honestly a bit cultish (though I don't think that was the intention).
Anyway, I remember going in for my interview and feeling like he was breathing for me. It was very strange, because my breath was much longer and similar to his when he gave demonstrations on how we should breath during meditation. And it felt involuntary. And then I noticed that half of his face was gone. Just incredibly black, empty space.
Again, this could have been the many intense hours of meditation, and the atmosphere, and hierarchy leading me to project onto the situation.
I also saw a ghost. Or what looked like a ghost. One night, I was sleeping in the meditation hall and was woken suddenly by a loud clap of thunder. I opened my eyes to the lightening flash and as it faded I saw a red-faced specter in flowing black robes, floating in the rafters. It was parallel and looking straight down. Then it faded and all that was left was the ceiling fan.
I could have just been hallucinating whatever I was dreaming about since I was startled out of sleep. Or maybe, just maybe, I saw something supernatural.

text: Well apparently Paramount Pictures has corrected an apparent error by saying Transformers 5 would be released in 2016 by once again saying it will be 2017. On the other hand Michael Bay is playing coy by saying he had no clue Transformers 5 was even being considered right now and Lorenzo di Bonaventura seems to think Transformers 5 is not exactly green lit. In other words, either no one has any clue whats happening or they're trying to keep it under wraps until they see the success Age of Extinction has. My guess is the latter.

I am not fighting depression, I am living with it10/01/2018
I am not fighting depression, I am living with it. I am not struggling, I am surviving.
Sometimes, surviving looks different, depending on the level of numbness I'm experiencing.
Sometimes, the living looks a lot more like already being dead. But I'm still breathing so that's a win in my book.
I am not "fighting" depression because it is not a battle I can ever completely "win" - I try not to dwell in my depression and I definitely try to help myself, but I know that I will never be 100% okay forever. That's something I have recently accepted, and so, by accepting this fact, it enables me to be a little more loving towards myself.
When I feel the darkness creeping in, I no longer berate myself for not "fighting hard (or long) enough," I just acknowledge that: Okay, I may not get out of bed at some point soon, and I might start to smell. Because when that wave of depression consumes you, showering is the last thing on your mind and getting dressed will take whatever energy you have left, so you best save it for going to the toilet when you can no longer hold it because otherwise, you will be a lot smellier than just not showering for a couple of days.
And really, that's what depression looks like. It's not staring wistfully out of a train window with a silent tear rolling down your face as you think to yourself "I am so alone."
It's not sitting on a lakeside with a cigarette and deciding to jump into the water just to ~feel~ something.
(I've tried it, it doesn't work. You get cold and the numbness of your toes now match the numbness in your entire being.)
Depression is not showering, brushing your teeth, combing your hair or practising any form of basic personal hygiene. It's not getting dressed for 3 days and only having enough energy to shovel junk food into your gob whilst you do anything you can that requires NO energy at all from bed (so basically, watch Netflix) all day until the days finally merge into one and you don't know the day nor the time.
It's sitting and staring at a wall for fuck knows how long and holding your pee in until you REALLY have to go, standing up and feeling dizzy because hey, you've not eaten or drank anything for fuck knows how long, so maybe whilst you're going to the toilet you should use this chance to get some food and water. Even when you do muster up the energy to make a tea or to get some food, you stand and stare and nothing passes through your brain in the process.
You wake up at 10am and think fuck, half of my day is gone already, and then you look at the clock at it's 8pm and you think fuck, what have I done all day, and then you look at your phone to mindlessly scroll through social media some more and it's 2 am and you think Jesus fucking christ where has time gone? I hope my life isn't like this. Will I be stuck in this rut forever? I fucking hope not! And then your chest gets heavy, and your breathing increases and you get a tingling sensation in your arm and you think Holy fuck I'm gunna die, I don't want to die but maybe it wont be so bad if this is how I'm going to spend my life anyway. Then eventually, the tingling leaves and your breathing stabilizes and you know you're the only person who can change things but also how can you when you have to pep talk yourself to go to the fucking toilet.
We need to stop glamorising depression. A bath bomb ain't gunna cure it. Most of us can't "fight" it, it's a daily choice not to fucking die. It's a daily choice to find something to carry on for. Do not make it our fault for not "fighting" it better.
I live with my depression and sometimes the living is more like dying but other times, the living is more like that feeling when you've been to the fun fair and you're wired on candyfloss and you don't want to shut your eyes for a second because you don't want to miss a thing, and so, I carry on.

Probeware Changes Science Curriculum
Image is taken from the article itself, found through the link above and is offered courtesy of PASCO scientific, a maker of probeware.
2 comments:
I am interested to find out more about this new gadget. It does show some very promising statistics about what students are learning. I have to admite, I was not the brightest science student, however I was able to take a genetics course at my high school. I had finally found out that I liked learning hands on...we studied fruit flies and it was amazing. If students can have the same "ahhh" moment I did, maybe our students would start becoming more interested in the sciences. LEt face it, we needs some serious brain power to fix some of the problems we have today.

We have all these probes at my school. I used one for our software lesson here in this grad course. They do allow you to do amazing experiments, and the kids really find the gadgets neat. The battle I typically find myself fighting is the struggle to make sure they understand the data that the equipment is giving them. I truly believe the metersticks, stopwatchs, and what-not still have an integral role to play in the classroom. I always try to do some initial activities with the conventional tools, then move into the probes software. But I am always cautious about the black box problem: the kids get information, but they have no idea where it came from. I don't want it to be rote learning and data manipulation. It has to mean something, and that is sometimes where the more traditional equipment fits in.

Plentific is a home services PropTech company, providing a platform upon which users can manage all of their home improvement and maintenance tasks needs. They describe themselves as 'the only place you can find, book and pay for a Pro while being protected by an insurance-backed guarantee'.
This week, Plentific has announced a partnership with the Notting Hill Housing Association which will 'see Plentific work alongside Notting Hill Housing to create a new property management solution and self-serve platform. This will aid maintenance and repair work initially for 2,000 temporary housing properties which are spread across the capital.'
The Plentific press release tells us more:
This integration with Plentific will create a streamlined approach for maintaining properties. Notting Hill managers and tenants will be able to utilise 'Plentific Instant', an on-demand service that lets customers instantly book trade professionals. This will simplify the home maintenance process while also cutting down on the number of phone calls between property managers and tenants.
The partnership was agreed after Plentific's successful appearance at 'Evolve', the startup accelerator programme from HouseMark and L Marks. As only one of a select few start-up companies invited to the event, Plentific was given the unique opportunity to pitch its property management solution to a number of leading housing associations.
Arturo Dell, Director of Product Development at HouseMark, says:
"This is a fantastic result from our first innovation accelerator, Evolve. Partnerships like this one are what our transformation and innovation programmes are all about. The reason we're bringing start-ups, commercial businesses and social landlords together is to open up the opportunities to deliver differently; accessing new ways of working and generating efficiencies. We're proud to have provided the platform for this partnership and look forward to working with more organisations to deliver similar positive outcomes."
Cem Savas, Co-Founder of Plentific, says:
"This new partnership offers us a fantastic opportunity to adapt our platform for Notting Hill Housing, enabling our new partner to digitalise their systems. It's really exciting for us to be able to work alongside the housing association and help them improve efficiency. With several more ongoing conversations coming off the HouseMark event, we're excited for what else this opportunity will bring."
Andy Belton, Chief Operating Officer at Notting Hill Housing, says:
"When I saw Plentific's presentation at the HouseMark event, I was very impressed and immediately thought we could use the platform and instant booking system for some areas of our business. Having done further work with Cem and his team, we can see the potential that Plentific offers to create a streamlined digital approach for maintaining properties that will save a great deal of valuable time and resources."
Old and New:
I am delighted by this news; it is proof that, with the right kind of thinking, the old and new of property can blend beautifully to create a whole more powerful than the sum of its parts. If our industry can continue to demonstrate a willingness for open dialogue about potential collaboration, our future is very bright. If, however, tradition and technology remain somewhat suspicious of each other, the barriers to growth and success will be much harder to break through.
I applaud both Plentific and the Notting Hill Housing Association for taking this forward thinking approach to the future of property, and I hope we see more and more stories like this emerging over the coming months.

…Let me out.
Just so you know, I know.
…Let me out.
Just so you know, I know.
…Or, the place we hear the screams the loudest…
…All the places we hear the screams.
People always say they care…
….And such a phrase is supposed to matter.
However, I've noticed the silence more than the shouting (especially when I am the one shouting).
…It is you.
(…this time, it really is.)
I am the one who has to fill the silence. Without meaning to be, I fell into the roll of The Communicator. I guess I am a natural at communication. So much so that, while it is never something I set out to be true, it became what has defined me.
….And the magic is in the make-up.
I sat on the subway on my late night ride home. At a stop, a young man got on dressed very "goth", in the androgynous nature of the goth culture, all black everything and a full face of beautiful make-up.
He stood across from an older man, clearly blue collar and looking a little gruff, a painter in painters pants, et al.
The younger man had a NYX (makeup brand, new boutiques here) backpack, while the older man had a Dulux (room/house paint brand) one.
Between them existed an age gap as wide as I am old (some 40 years).
The older gentleman asked the younger "testing colours?", referring to the marks of make-up on the back of his hand.
This inquiry sparked a conversation between the two, each speaking of their concept of "paint"; actual painting verses make-up (let it be known that drag queens often refer to their make-up as paint, as have some major designers in the make-up world). In the discussion, they found familiar ground, each excitedly stating their case and adding to the other's points.
I did nothing but smile.
RIGHT THERE, People, right there! BOOM! It IS that simple.
We are all the same beneath our layers.
We all want to express ourselves and have our craft appreciated.
Incidentally, the one invited the other for a drink to discuss further and they exited together.
…And that which is obvious even to the sightless.
Recently, I had released emotions regurgitate, much like the overindulgence of a night meant to be forgotten.
Ideally, when we think thoughts (read "of people") we would prefer to not think about, we'd like to switch to "off" and not even deal with it. In being human, however, it is never that easy.
The best of intentions and the best of conclusions still come with baggage.
Sometimes the thoughts creep in, regardless.
…Or, lessons that humans failed to learn.
…And a sobering look at at many of the "friendships" I have had.
It occurs to me I am really over tolerant and very forgiving in the way I deal with people. Perhaps, it is because I am strong and I can handle more or perhaps it is because I need less (in terms of ego, moral support). I have healthy confidence and respect for myself and I have long been able to take more punches than I should have – and I do this in a sense of kindness, a form of giving; if I can take more, if I can let people feel they have won or give them what ever emotional support they need… because I don't need the validation…
…EXCEPT, sometimes, I do. And I deserve it. It can't all be one sided. To be very honest, for far too long many of my relationships HAVE been too one-sided and NOT in my favor.
People do not like it when you stand up for yourself.
What follows is a conversation that happened today and it refers to something I wrote about a bit ago.

pretzels and soup
Today was a lovely day. It was so sunny and pretty. It is freezing cold, but beautiful. I don't mind the cold as long as the sun is out. I didn't have to work today because of the holiday, so I spent the day studying and doing laundry. I also made pretzels from my friend in North Dakota's recipe on her blog. They turned out wonderful. I use a toaster oven for my baking, since our oven emits fumes that makes us feel like we are going to faint. No matter how much we have cleaned it, it always does it the second it is turned on.
The toaster oven is fine and since i had to bake in small batches I was able to do different things each time. Some just had flax seeds, some mozzrella cheese, and some with crushed garlic and cheese. The kitchen smelled so good with the fresh baked bread scent. I really enjoyed kneading the mixture, it was relaxing. The night before bunny came home from work with a free organic ham, so I made split pea soup in the slow cooker. Tonight's dinner was soup with cheese melted on top and pretzels on the side. I loved it!
So I am about to hit the hay, catch a few wonder years episodes in bed! I have a big day in class tomorrow.
Thank you Average Rai for your great recipe, and Bunny thanks you, too!

I'm glad they turned out well! They look great. I know what you mean about the kneading. It's almost rustic. And made with love! Ha ha ha.
But that is seriously scary about your oven. Do you rent or own?
- January 22, 2008 at 9:35 AM
- bunbun said...
i rent. there are a few things worth complaining to the landlords about, but the rent is so cheap, so we try to keep quiet. I would rather pay the cheap rent than the oven work/ plus its just me and bunny so the toaster oven works out nicely. The real oven takes up so much space since we only use the stovetop. Oh well!
This has inspired me to start baking bread as well. I used to be kind of daunted by the whole kneading thing, but now I am confident!

These studies provide direct evidence for a critical role for serglycin in MM pathogenesis and show that targeting serglycin may provide a novel therapeutic approach for MM.
serglycin produced in lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation in normal mouse chondrocytes is able to modulate inflammation by interacting with CD44 (zeige CD44 Proteine) receptor, suggesting a possible key role in the cartilage inflammation.
Findings indicate that PRG-1 (zeige PTGR1 Proteine) deficiency led to over-excitability caused by an altered LPA/LPA2 (zeige LPAR2 Proteine)-R signaling inducing a behavioral phenotype typically observed in animal models for psychiatric disorders.

Wild-type mast cells efficiently degraded exogenous or endogenously produced IL-13 (zeige IL13 Proteine) upon degranulation,whereas serglycin -/- mast cells completely lacked this ability.
Dopamine storage increased during mast cell maturation from bone marrow precursors, and was dependent on the presence of serglycin.
Cells lacking mouse mast cell protease 6 exhibited similar defects in apoptosis as observed in serglycin(-/-) cells, indicating that the pro-apoptotic function of serglycin is due to downstream effects of proteases that are complex-bound to serglycin
The PRG-1 (zeige PTGR1 Proteine) transcription is initiated at multiple transcription start site and no influence on expression in vivo by Nex1 (zeige NEUROD6 Proteine) deficiency.
This gene encodes a protein best known as a hematopoietic cell granule proteoglycan. Proteoglycans stored in the secretory granules of many hematopoietic cells also contain a protease-resistant peptide core, which may be important for neutralizing hydrolytic enzymes. This encoded protein was found to be associated with the macromolecular complex of granzymes and perforin, which may serve as a mediator of granule-mediated apoptosis. Two transcript variants, only one of them protein-coding, have been found for this gene.

As I munched on a double chocolate chip cookie and sipped my McDonald's coffee from the booth that I volunteered at, I surveyed the 10th Annual Jazz and Blues in the Village set up. Huge tent – heated. Check. Band stage and sound system. Check. Merchandise booth, food vendors. Check. Beer, wine and Hurricanes, New Orleans style. Check. Music. Check, check, check.
All is well in the beautiful green space at Lochiel Kiwanis Community Centre, known as McGibbon Park in Sarnia, Ontario.
Jazz and Blues in the Village is located in a unique setting for a festival as the park only accommodates 1500 people – that makes for a cozy and intimate feel. I believe that is why so many of us return to the festival, each and every year; not only to volunteer for a worthy cause (Sarnia Organ Donor Awareness), but to enjoy the great music and catch up with old friends. I often tell my friends that attending the festival is like returning home or going to a school reunion – one meets old friends, neighbours and acquaintances, and re-unites with "new" friends from past festivals.
Whether you choose to sit under the tent to hear the music or set up a lawn chair on the hill, you are sure to appreciate the wonderful sounds of talented musicians. Over the years we have had the privilege to enjoy some exciting moments from the likes of Peter Appleyard (one of my all-time favourite performers; he was electric!) the late Jeff Healey Band, the legendary Downchild, Danny Brooks, Denise Pelley, Dave Rotundo Band, and so many more. All of them have been exciting, award-winning performers and all of them have thrilled the crowds.
This year our coffee booth team settled in to listen to the Saturday afternoon line-up: Jim Clayton and Al Weiss, and Guido Basso and Friends special tribute to the late, legendary Peter Appleyard. Wow, Saturday afternoons just don't get better than this. We knew we were in for some great stuff as we had already enjoyed Friday's performances of vocalists Robin Banks and Cheryl Lescom, and the harmonica virtuoso Jerome Godboo.
On Saturday evening, we were entertained by Lit'l Chicago who opened for the main event, a 1969 Woodstock favourite – Canned Heat. When the musicians started to play "Going up the Country," I thought the crowds would erupt into dancing…and they did! Oh, and so did we – dance, that is. (Because I defy anyone who loves to dance, not to get up and boogie when those oldies, but beloved tunes begin.) We were not the only volunteers dancing…the popcorn booth's crew were line dancing so well – I think they practised beforehand! (Now that's dedication!) The dance floor was fully occupied throughout the whole evening and if the crowd wasn't dancing, they were swaying.
What a fun, professional performance from Canned Heat! No wonder the band has sustained popularity since 1969. They deserved the standing ovations and we were just as enthusiastically, wildly clapping with the crowds, as well as hooting and hollering.
That's why I love the festival so much – we allow ourselves to drop our defenses for a few crazy hours…and just soak up the atmosphere and listen and enjoy some wonderful, great music. (You should try it sometime. You would love it.)
So at the end of the evening, as we packed up our booth, I reflected on the people who were dancing in the rain, up on the hill and realized that they pretty much summed up how I feel about this jazz and blues festival – no matter the weather, no matter rain or shine, we just let go and have fun.

text: President Trump told executives from the country's largest automakers Tuesday that he would ease environmental rules and other regulations to encourage the return of manufacturing jobs to the United States, a pledge that some analysts question will be as effective as promised. Trump tells leaders of U.S. automotive industry he'll ease rules to bring back jobs Call that counterproductive. The EPA turned out to be a cash cow, collecting billions in fines from Volkswagen, en likely from FCA too. Trump's stance may help initially... How calculated can a company like GM be to collect government funding to stay afloat, then proudly announce that Buicks that are coming to the U.S. will be made in China? What does that say? Americans are good enough to purchase GM cars, not fabricate them? How are the unemployed going to pay for them? However, it doesn't do anything about the fact that Detroit is not competitive on export markets. The Germans are right that this is why you barely see any 'Made in America' cars in Germany, and plenty vice versa. As a matter of fact, protectionism might even add to the non-competitiveness of American car makers, that are not at the forefront already when it comes to green technology, styling, fit & finish and branding. "Buy American" sounds good, but it may come down to Americans buying substandard, gas guzzling cars (since Trump thinks that Climate Change is bogus), that nobody wants in the rest of the world. Irony is that the one U.S. car maker that is successful on export markets, Tesla, may be forced to go elsewhere.

Hearing tests today, are progressed and will give you a total status on your condition utilizing current innovation and compelling analysis. Auspicious conclusion anticipates additionally harm as the ear tissues are extremely sensitive and if dismissed can prompt perpetual hearing misfortune with age. This is a condition that can be effortlessly be averted with a convenient test. In newborn children, one needs to screen every one of their responses precisely as they begin developing to determine early location of a hearing lack or discourse hindrance.
There are various valid and all around prepared discourse and hearing centers where one can get the same checked. One should know about what sort of a center to go for, as opposed to rely upon misdirecting notices that proliferate for such tests. Hearing tests must be led in a decent facility and the accompanying are the parameters one must search for while choosing one.

Calculating the Collatz conjecture with Swift
The Collatz conjecture is a mathematical conjecture named after Lothar Collatz. The basic idea is described in Wikipedia as the following:
"Take any natural number n. If n is even, divide it by 2 to get n / 2. If n is odd, multiply it by 3 and add 1 to obtain 3n + 1. Repeat the process (which has been called "Half Or Triple Plus One", or HOTPO[6]) indefinitely. The conjecture is that no matter what number you start with, you will always eventually reach 1."
So fundamentally very simple mathematics. So let's get started by defining the range of natural numbers to test and creating an array where to store results to increase efficiency dramatically.
// Range we test
let FROM = 2
let UNTIL = 999_999
// Save sequence lengths in array for gains in performance
let ARRAY_SIZE = 1_000_000
let stepsArray = Array(count: ARRAY_SIZE, repeatedValue: -1)
stepsArray[1] = 0
Notice the nice underscore syntax Swift allows for improving the readability of large numbers: 1_000_000 instead of 1000000.
You might wonder why the stepsArray is defined as a constant instead of a variable. The 'let' definition here does not mean that contents of the array cannot be modified. It means that the array cannot be resized during runtime, as variable Swift arrays seem to be closer to C++ vectors than C-style arrays.
Apple recommends creating constant arrays for efficiency when resizing is not required:
"It is good practice to create immutable collections in all cases where the collection's size does not need to change. Doing so enables the Swift compiler to optimize the performance of the collections you create."
- Apple Inc. "The Swift Programming Language". iBooks. https://itun.es/fi/jEUH0.l
Next we iterate over the range.
// Loop each number in the range
for number in FROM...UNTIL
var value = number
var steps = 0
// If previously calculated, no need to recalculate
var notFound = stepsArray[value] < 0
while (notFound)
// Actual calculation of the Collatz conjecture
// If even, divide by 2. If odd, multiply by 3 and add one.
value = value % 2 == 0 ? value / 2 : value * 3 + 1
// Limit range to avoid overflow runtime error
notFound = value < (ARRAY_SIZE - 1) ? stepsArray[value] < 0 : true
steps += stepsArray[value]
stepsArray[number] = steps
The above should quite self-explanatory. Now that everything is calculated we just need to check which number had the longest path to reach 1 in our range and place it in the longestSequence tuple (starting number and step count to reach 1).
// Now find out which one had the longest sequence
var longestSequence : (Int, Int) = (0, 0)
for number in FROM...UNTIL
if stepsArray[number] > longestSequence.1
// Set longest sequence tuple to hold the number and sequence length
longestSequence = (number, stepsArray[number])
println("DONE! Value \(longestSequence.0) has longest sequence \(longestSequence.1)")
And done! Follow-up to this article will be a performance comparison of this solution against a C++ solution.

The weather played a late April Fool's on us on Kayla + Rob's wedding day, with strong winds, icy temps and even snow. If you're in Cincinnati, you know exactly how crazy April 2nd was. We were forced to completely skip our initial portrait plan and improvise, with falling tree branches eventually halting our backup plan as well. Through it all, Kayla + Rob got married and never let go of each other. It sure wasn't smooth sailing, but in the end, it turned out to be a gorgeous day filled with so much love.
Kayla truly looked like she stepped out of a fairy tale. I will never forget the moment when she put on her wedding gown. I just couldn't help but stare at her in amazement. I always thought Kayla was absolutely beautiful, inside and out, but the way she looked on her wedding day trumped all previous expectations. I also couldn't help but notice how Rob never forgot to let Kayla know how much he truly cares for her, and that she really was his princess. From the little note he wrote her before their wedding day, to the reassuring words he whispered to her throughout the crazy day. This is true love, and I hope everyone has a chance to experience it like Kayla + Rob will for the rest of their lives.
Kayla + Rob, I can't wait to show you the rest of the images. Thank you for everything! Congratulations!!!

Stocks in Asia pared early gains as president Trump laid out his plans with both Tokyo's Topix and Hong Kong's Hang Seng retreating from their highs.
Asia-focused investors are waiting for details of any border tax or other duty – but they have been disappointed once more. Stocks however did edge lower when Mr Trump reiterated his intention to raise tariffs on importers.
He said: "currently, when we ship products out of America, many other countries make us pay very high tariffs and taxes – but when foreign companies ship their products into America, we charge them almost nothing."
The Hang Seng was 0.2 per cent higher at 23,780, down from a 0.3 per cent gain as Mr Trump began. Tokyo's export-heavy Topix was at 1,539, up 0.4 per cent from a 0.5 per cent gain earlier.

So, my dad has a home office, and he keeps all of his tech stuff in there. His closet is pretty much always open, and I already knew it was full of cables and old keyboards/computer parts and stuff. I was looking for his old camcorder, which I found, but I couldn't find the battery, so I turned to the part of the closet that is never open... and I found a um... a box for a sex toy... and it really freaked me out. I feel so dirty now, and there was a naked woman on the side of the box and everything.
I really don't know what to do. I have a horrible time trying to make myself forget things, and I really need to forget this. I know its normal, I get it, but I just want to but out and never think of it again! I think I'm going to be scarred for life. Please help!!

Frankie Ford, a rock 'n' roll and rhythm and blues singer whose 1959 hit "Sea Cruise" brought him international fame when he was 19, has died at the age of 76.
Ford died Monday of natural causes, according to the coroner's office in Jefferson Parish, La.
"He had the best voice in rock and roll," said Mike Shepherd, a friend of Ford's and head of the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame, which inducted Ford in 2010.
In addition to "Sea Cruise," Ford's hits included "Roberta," ''Time After Time" and "You Talk Too Much." His version of "You Talk Too Much" aired while Joe Jones' recording of the song was tied up in court. Jones' recording eventually reached No. 3, while none of Ford's after "Sea Cruise" made it higher than 72, the mark set by "Seventeen" in 1961.
Shepherd said Ford had been ill and unable to walk since he was hit by a car in Memphis several years ago.
Born Aug. 4, 1939, in Gretna, La., he was named Vincent Francis Guzzo by his adoptive parents.
Ford began singing as a child and his parents brought him to New York when he was 5 to perform on the "Ted Mack Amateur Hour." His stage name was suggested, in a nod to hot rods, by Ace Records owner Johnny Vincent, according to his biography on the hall of fame website.
Shepherd said Ford was asked in the late 1950s to cover songs by local black musicians in New Orleans whose records got limited airtime because of racial discrimination.
"All the music was coming from New Orleans, yet people like Pat Boone were covering people like Little Richard and Fats Domino and getting hits. It was a black-white thing," Shepherd said.
"The producers understood the point: This is our music, this is Louisiana's music, yet we're letting them take it out of here and making a fortune with — I've got to say it — white guys," Shepherd said.
Shepherd said he last saw Ford a couple of months ago when he visited to get items for the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame museum.
He said Ford, no longer able to walk, told him, "Son, you go up and take whatever you want, because I'm never wearing any of it again."
His choices included a sequined jacket — dark red except for a piano keyboard in cream and black sequins.
He said Ford "put one hand on the sleeve of the jacket ... and he said, 'My mama made this for me.'"

Please take the time to read and absorb this article.
But the world has moved on since then. We've become more sophisticated. And entered a unique period in which, rather than struggling to provide enough parents are unable to resist providing too much. In doing so, we're unknowingly creating an environment in which mental health issues flourish.
When I read Kim John Payne's book, Simplicity Parenting one message leapt off the page. Normal personality quirks combined with the stress of "too much" can propel children into the realm of disorder. A child who is systematic may be pushed into obsessive behaviours. A dreamy child may lose the ability to focus.
Suffering with a "cumulative stress reaction" caused by the snowballing effect of too much, children develop their own coping strategies to feel safe. Parents and society are conscious of the need to protect our children physically but safeguarding mental health is more obscure.
Modern day children are exposed to a constant flood of information which they can't process or rationalize. They're growing up faster as we put them into adult roles and increase our expectations of them. So, they look for other aspects of their life they can control.
Simplicity Parenting encourages keeping fewer toys so children engage more deeply with the ones they have. Payne describes the four pillars of excess as having too much stuff, too many choices, too much information and too much speed.
When children are overwhelmed they lose the precious down time they need to explore, reflect and release tension. Too many choices erodes happiness, robbing kids of the gift of boredom which encourages creativity and self-directed learning.
Childhood serves a very real purpose. It's not something to "get through." It's there to protect and develop young minds so they can grow into healthy and happy adults. When society messes too much with childhood, young brains react. By providing a sense of balance and actively protecting childhood we're giving our children the greatest gift they'll ever receive.
Keeping my kids' childhood simple and more childhoody is a major reason I decided to homeschool. Every time I feel overwhelmed by this commitment to teach my kids I remind myself that at least their childhood is a real, simple and slow one.

A New Dog Nail File
Can you imagine a dog nail file which will eliminate the stress of trimming your dog's nails?
- Do you struggle with your dog every time it needs its nails trimmed?
- Is your dog fearful of traditional methods – painful dog nail clippers, noisy nail grinders or regular nail files?
- Are your dog's nails on its front paws the main problem? Often this is the case, as the nails on the front paws grow faster and don't get naturally worn down through the dog's walking or running on hard surfaces.
- Unlike African wild dogs, Australian Dingoes, wolves or modern working dogs, our pet dogs live with us mostly indoors. Even if you walk your dog regularly, it is often not enough to wear down the front nails.
- The back nails are usually not as much of a problem, as the dog pushes off with its back legs, thus wearing them down naturally.
- Perhaps you are the owner of a rescue dog who has been traumatized by a bad nail-clipping experience.
- With this new dog nail file, your dog will happily trim the nails on its front paws itself – for food rewards.
- Nail trimming becomes a joyful experience – not only for the dog, but for you as well.
- Your dog learns 'the trick' of getting its food reward by digging/scratching very quickly and will remember it for life.
- If the nails on the front paws are the problem – no more trips to a vet/groomer. You save time and money.
- This innovative dog nail file is safe. There is no risk of cutting into the quick – the blood and nerve supply within the nail – causing your dog pain and bleeding.
- You are controlling how much the nails should be trimmed, as you are supervising the process.
- In fact, the dog self-regulates the trimming process itself. When it feels it is getting close to the quick, it will stop digging for a few days, until the quick recedes higher up the nail. Then your dog will once again get excited when you bring the DiggerDog Nail File for its next nail-trimming session.
Please be aware! If your dog's nails are so long that they are distorting the dog's toes or even starting to curl under, you will first need to have the nails trimmed by a Vet and only then can you start using this file for maintaining the right size.

Hello all,
I have a 5 year old Quarter stallion that has never been bred before. I received him from my grandfather who decided it was time to get out of the equine business. He is well built, both testicles are fully dropped, and looks great for breeding.
However, the issue comes when I introduce him to my 4 year old mare. He starts getting vocal when she is in heat, but never drops. He exhibits behavior that leads me to believe that he is very interested, but he doesn't drop. He'll sniff her, talk, try to mount her, but can't seem to "get it up." His sheath shakes, as if something is trying to work, but so far I haven't seen him drop once, even alone. He was never used for show that I know of, so getting disciplined for dropping probably isn't a cause.
Could he just be physically unable to get an erection?

Boarding In Year 7
Boarding In Year 7
This year has seen the introduction of an exciting new programme in Boarding designed to welcome our youngest students into our Boarding community. The Year 7 Boarding Transition Programme has already been a great success, helping them to settle into new routines and minimising feelings of homesickness during the first few months of living away from their families.
Specifically designed to strengthen the pastoral care delivered to our Year 7 Boarders, this group are given additional opportunities to bond and also to enjoy more regular direct contact with staff, particularly dedicated activities with our Junior Boarders' Co-ordinator.
Currently our Year 7 Boarders are accommodated together in two adjacent Units and will move into their respective Houses during Semester 2. This mimics the structure that Boarders currently experience in their day schooling at our Year 7 Transition Centre. Supervising Unit Seniors have been specifically chosen for the level of care and attention they give to Junior Boarders and are proving very popular with their charges. The Year 7 Units are in close proximity to the Dining Room, Laundry and Cafe, minimising the challenges of being in the right place at the right time. Year 7 Boarders also have a separate time for Prep, from 6.45pm – 8.00pm and an earlier bedtime – making sure weary heads can hit their pillows a little sooner!

[Video below.] A burn victim has been given a new pair of hands in the U.S in a rare double transplant. Doctors say the man will have more feeling in his fingers than previous hand transplant patients because he had his original hands before the operation.The 18-hour operation took place yesterday at the Jewish Hospital in Louisville, where the world's first successful single hand transplant was performed in 1999.
A team of six hand surgeons, one anaesthetist, one nurse and five extra medical staff worked on the unidentified patient on a rotating basis.
Lead surgeon Dr Warren Breidenbach said doctors were able to put some of the patient's existing nerves into hands from a donor.
Another doctor outside the operating theatre posted more than 60 updates on the social networking website Twitter during the marathon surgery.
The first Tweet was at 12.25am, which read: 'Patient excited for new hands but we know there is a donor family facing a time of sadness. We are grateful for their generosity.'
The patient's hands had been so badly damaged he struggled to perform simple tasks such as take his keys out of his pocket.
Surgeons removed non-functioning hand tissue from the patient in preparation for the donor hands and five hours later had attached the bones of the new hands to the patient with plates and screws.
'Surgeons are now preparing the arteries. This will be the most important part of the operation,' the doctors tweeted at 6.36am.
Once the arteries and veins were attached the team complete nerve repairs before sewing the new appendages shut and bandaging them up. They finished around 8.30pm.
The team expect the wounds to take about six weeks to heal but said it will be several months before any sensation returns to the hands.
As with any transplant, there is a risk of rejection and the patient will need to take anti-rejection medications for the rest of his life.
But Marty Bonick, president of the Jewish Hospital Medical Campus, said the patient's spouse was thrilled that the surgery had gone ahead.
'They were hoping and praying for it to happen,' Mr Bonick said.
Doctors said the patient is expected to spend about three months in Louisville recovering and undergoing extensive rehabilitation.

News that Fox News co-founder and boss, Roger Ailes is negotiating his exit from the company brings with it a flurry of questions – many without good solid answers.
Interested parties regarding a post-Ailes Fox News entity include cable news rivals, major Fox News stars and, of course, investors in parent company, 21st Century Fox (TSX:FOXAC).

The Lawsuit That Started It All
In early July former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against Ailes. Ailes denied the charges and several Fox personalities spoke up on his behalf. Nonetheless, the network launched an internal investigation, raising eyebrows in some corners.
Recently reports in New York magazine suggested other women, including current Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly, had said they were the target of harassment by Ailes. The Fox News head denied those charges as well.
About Those Stars
Two of Fox News' biggest stars, Bill O'Reilly and Meghan Kelly have contracts that are up in 2017. If they were to choose to try to leave for another job, the timing couldn't be better for them.
Others including Sean Hannity and Greta Van Sustern – as well as O'Reilly have clauses in their contracts that allow them to leave if Ailes departs, according to the Financial Times.
Media analysts who have opined so far are somewhat divided on whether Ailes' departure could cause enough problems for major stars to want to leave with many suggesting it will be a long time before the loss of Ailes would have an impact.
Things That Could Go Wrong
That said, there is concern that James and Lachlan Murdoch, sons of Fox CEO Rupert Murdoch, might try to change the editorial format or philosophy of Fox News in the absence of Ailes. Media analysts almost unanimously consider that unlikely.
Other aspects of modern life are already working against Fox News, with or without Ailes. For example, 72% of the public gets news on a mobile device, according to Pew. Almost 84% of 18-to-29-year-olds access news through social media. Millennials, who will make up 75% of the workforce by 2025, are more engaged in organizations than media.
All this leaves the network with an audience that has an average age of more than 70, according to one analyst. If that isn't fixed, Fox's audience will eventually be much smaller – or possibly dead.
Things That Could Go Right
For those who haven't noticed, there's a presidential election going on. Cable news channels get their best ratings and highest advertising dollars in U.S. presidential election years.
According to Barry Lowenthal, president of the Media Kitchen, "Advertisers would have to see a drop in viewers before they would do anything." Lowenthal said he has not heard from a single concerned client since reports surfaced about Ailes leaving. In short, so far, so good.

Profit And The Bottom Line
While these numbers do not reflect the impact of a post-Roger Ailes Fox News on its parent company, the Pew Research Center's latest State of the News Media report issued in June estimated Fox News' 2015 profit at $1.5 billion.
That's well above Time Warner's (:TWXN/A) CNN, estimated to have earned $381 million, and Comcast's (NASDAQ:CMCSAC) MSNBC, which came in at $227 million.
Estimated earnings were based on projected revenue of $2.3 billion for Fox, $1.2 billion for CNN and $518 million for MSNBC.
