It worked well last week
14 comments:
I don't know how many times I false started my weight loss program, just that it was many, many times. One option might be to pick one day of the week to have your non-diet meal, or two meals per week. That way you don't feel totally deprived - Just a thought:)ReplyDelete
Eating out is such a struggle, you're doing an amazing job! You can definitely reach this goal too. And don't feel like a bad wife for not cooking! I cook a few things but my husband is BY FAR a better cook. And he enjoys it so I let him. Keep up the good work!ReplyDelete
When I first started my weight loss last year, I didn't cut everything out either. I did it in stages. Everyone has to do what works for them. If you and hubby ate out a lot before and now you have cut that back a lot, well then you are making progress which great! :-)ReplyDelete
I think those are great challenges :) I am in your corner! p.s I don't cook for my boyfriend everyday either if it makes you feel any better lolReplyDelete
It's hard to do it cold turkey. I did my best at that-got 95% clean asap-because for me, it's the ONLY way to stop the cravings.ReplyDelete
Good luck!
I too think you are doing awesome. It is not easy to change and it doesn't happen over night. And by no means are you a bad wife. Hubby and I take many turns in cooking, it really depends what time either of us get home first. I have a set schedule but Hubby doesn't. Doesn't matter we do for each other many things, same as you.ReplyDelete
Many hugs
Hi! Do you food journal? My eating started to make complete sense and gain rhythm in good ways when I started journaling. I'm on day 267 of food journaling today.ReplyDelete
My 2 cents of advice: When you feel despair about your current eating, let yourself be upset about it. Do not overeat to food-sedate yourself to make yourself feel better. Don't beat yourself up over it, but also do NOT allow people to console you for eating poorly either. Let the despair work for you to help you change. If the restaurant food was not worth it, carefully absorb that disappointment in high calorie food that did not make you happier. When you get completely worn out of the eating despair, you change in serious ways. Then when you change, it is so incredibly happy to quit all of that despair.<<That is how I got fed up with overeating and changed my ways. I hope that works for you too.
You are still learning a lot. Trial and error is the best form of learning.
:-) Marion
I think Marc has a good idea about picking which days that you'll have your non-diet meal, then you have something to look forward to on the days that you are on track. I'll bet cooking more meals at home is easier on your pocketbook, too. You're doing great!ReplyDelete
Yay you on taking on the challenge!!! Good luck! We're here pulling for you!ReplyDelete
Hey, my husband and I split the cooking 50/50. If we didn't, I'd probably thwap him with a frying pan. I am NOT little suzie homemaker. :)ReplyDelete
I will say the key to my eating healthy has been bulk-baking. I set aside a night where I have good movies or shows to watch, and make up all sorts of things I can freeze and reheat, because the truth is that I hate cooking. It's boring. I like eating though! So, one night sacrificed ton movies and the kitchen = about 3 weeks worth of food. Dinners, I make a bit bigger on the spot (so it's fresh for the natives. They bite...) and I set aside freezable or lunch portions immediately, so they're gone from the container to start with.
You are doing so great! You are catching yourself when you make a mistake and then you challenge yourself to do better next time.ReplyDelete
You are not a bad wife because you don't cook everyday. I sure wish my hubby could cook......although.....he does clean bathrooms. I haven't had to scrub our bathrooms since we got married over 11 yrs ago. ;)
Oh, you've got this!ReplyDelete
I actually think I do better when I eat more meals out. Well, depending on where those meals are eaten. :) If money weren't an object, I'd be at Jason's Deli 5 nights a week. (That's about how many times I ate there when I was losing weight. LOL)
- AnonymousJune 27, 2013 at 2:42 AM
That method worked for me. I started trying to stop my heavy drinking and losing weight in January and made small change after small change. By March, I was hot and heavy on it and that's when I started to see results on the scale and in my behavior. Small changes became bigger changes.ReplyDelete
You are doing well. Writing about it (either on here or privately) in my humble opinion really helps.
We have to be related! I am the exact same way about eating out. I do TRY to cook meals at least four times a week. It doesn't always happen. I also refuse to cook on Saturday night and Sunday night, so do get into trouble some there.ReplyDelete
In theory, you SHOULD be able to eat anything in MODERATION. Just smaller portions (or so Weight Watchers says...) - just stay away from the "trigger" foods. That is what I'm trying to do now!

I think having homework should be prohibited during vacations because it is something very similar as not having vacations, even though people are not going to work or school, they are working so their brain is forced in working. It is already limited being with their friends or family, so I think that as I said vacations is a time to rest, not to have more work, also many people can cheat doing this works taking advantage that teachers are not supervising them.
When students leave the area, they can only bring certain things there. The luggage has limited space, and students can't take it with them. Even if a student isn't leaving the area, they need a time to rest. Family and friends may not understand and may not plan out homework on their schedule.
I'd think we don't need it cause everyone has their own path to be through,and we already be shape by school during the non-vacation day. Btw it's not good if u spend all vacation to play.Visit museum,learning how to fix a car,learn math,science,history by read browse internet.Do something to increase personal ability in this world.Not play around everyday that's my point.
The point of a vacation is to get a break, rest. Take Christmas/winter break for example. What would you rather do:
1.Spend time with family, make cards and cookies and have fun
2. Spend hours stressing over this crap known as homework. And while normal people do what Christmas is for. Spending time with family.
The whole point of vacation is for students to relax and be relieved of all the stress from homework, school projects, deadlines, etc. Giving students homework during vacation kills the whole point of vacation. Plus, many students are away during long breaks and it is senseless for them to carry their books on a plane to Hawaii.
If the kids are in summer school, making up a class or something, then yeah, homework should be given. The intended purpose of homework, as much as we hated it when we were given it as kids , and now as adults if we go to college,lol, is to see how well someone has mastered the content that was taught.; if they need more mastery, then the teacher will have time to get them up to the desired level. If the homework is done just because without any real need, then no, they shouldn't get it. Homework can also be given to kids if they're involved in summer programs that may also have the need to test the mastery of the content taught.
If there would be no homework over the vacations you would forget most of needed information that you need. When you have homework on vacations your brain is all ways having a little work out, and that helps him to remember stuff. You can rest in heaven, earth is not a place for resting.
And I still do. Homework would literally kill my grades when I was younger even though I demonstrably knew the material as I aced the tests. I just refused to do what I considered to be busy work and a waste of time. Especially so because I'd still lose credit at times, for losing my homework even when I did it as I was way too disorganized.
However what really opened my eyes to the necessity for many people is when I went to college. In my senior year in high school I had taken a calculus course, but it wasn't for AP credit so we all had to basically repeat the course as college freshman.
My classmates and I were some of the best available in my high school however some of them had forgotten EVERYTHING about calculus after summer vacation. I myself breezed through the course, only showing up in class because they took attendance, but I found myself teaching my former classmates things I knew they were capable of just months before.
People have different retention abilities, and those with less need the homework to maintain.
On vacation, if we don't have homework, we would forget everything we learn in school. I would say just a little homework so we could at least remember a little bit of what we have learned. At least about 1 or 2 pages of homework will be fine for us

Applications and Advantages of Glulam
Glulam, or glue-laminated lumber, is a versatile and innovative construction material used on commercial and residential projects. Glulam is made of single wood layers bonded together with superior wood adhesives. This particular material is available in variable depths and lengths depending on the needs of your construction project and is kind of the perfect building material to be used on long span designs and it is also preferred in curved designs.
Glulam offers great strength and stiffness when compared with dimensional lumber and it is stronger than steel, compared on a pound by pound basis. Connections are usually made with bolts or plain steel dowels and steel plates.
Glulam Common Uses
Glulam members can be used as:
- Straight Beams – Glulam lintels, purling, ridge beams and floor beams
- Columns- Round, square and complex sections.
- Tied Rafters
- Glulam Trusses
- Tied Arches
- Curved Portals
- Domes and Arches
- Arched Bridges
- Curved Beams
Glulam Strength Classification System
Glulam members' grades are classified using strength properties. Softwood glulam bending combinations have been arranged under a Stress Class System. The first part of the Stress Classification System is the reference bending design value or its flexural loading. For example, a 24F signifies that the member has 2,400 psi of flexural loading, while the second part of this grade classification is the corresponding modulus of elasticity value of the glulam member.
For example, a 24F-1.8E indicates a reference bending design value of 2400 psi and modulus of elasticity of 1.8 x 10^6 psi. Bending combinations glulam members should be used typically as beam and axial combinations should be loaded axially.
Glulam Standard Appearance Grades
Glulam material provides four type of appearance grades as listed in ANSI A190.1 (2002):
- FramingFraming appearance grade is the common choice for home building and other areas where glulam is specified combined with dimension lumber. This grade is recommended only in concealed areas.
- IndustrialIndustrial grade appearance for glulam material is recommended for areas where the aesthetics are not a major concern. Under this appearance grade, the glulam is finished slightly better than the framing grade, but it is not an aesthetic product. It should be used in areas not visible to general public. This appearance grade will show some wood imperfection on its surfaces, such as knots and voids.
- ArchitecturalWhen glulam is going to be used as a facade material or exposed element, Architectural grade appearance is highly recommended. The Architectural appearance grade offers a high-quality finish product, where wooden voids and imperfections are filled or treated to provide a better surface and architectural product.
- PremiumThis grade glulam appearance is only available by special orders and usually used on special occasions, or pre-determined areas, where a high concentration of people is expected. Premium grade glulam offers smoother surfaces that will result in a high-quality finish product.
Why use Glulam?
The material can provide you with the following benefits:
- An all-around product that can be used as roof and floor beams, columns, bracing, decking, and other structural components.
- Green material with very low formaldehyde levels.
- Lightweight material, one-sixth lighter than the same dimension reinforced concrete beam.
- Glulam beams and arches can generate large unsupported span areas.
- Lower transportation and handling costs.
- Material that is easy to repair and install.
- Customizable material to fit your special needs.
- Standard sized available immediately.
- Produced in well-managed forests and certified to PEFC.
- Durable material.
- Great insulation properties.
- Aesthetic material producing eye-appealing finishes.
- It can be manufactured in large section sizes and longer lengths.
- Offers great fire resistant properties and will outlast steel beams under the same fire threatening conditions.
- Glulam members offer precise dimensions, as they are manufactured from seasoned timber.
- CAUTION: Swelling and shrinkage may lead to splitting or delamination of the beam.
Handling and Storage Tips
Glulam members should be handled carefully to avoid any damage or reduction in their structural capacity. It is recommended that:
- Fabric sling should be used when lifting to prevent scratches
- Avoid using chains to lift as this could damage the surface of the glulam.
- Preferably the material should be stored vertically.
- Protect it from the weather by covering with plastic sheeting.
- Keep the material protected until it is ready to be installed unless glulam is intended for exposed areas.

Please do not sight-see on damaged roads – if you're on it, they can't fix it. And "the GPS told me to go this way" is not the right answer.
Road Maps
- Windham County Road Closures – regional map updated several times a day based on town reports to the Windham Regional Commission – this is the most accurate map of roads and statuses available for Windham County
- VTrans map – this map is great and has multiple overlays (toggle on the right side, including water levels and power outages) but it is apparently only updated twice a day and the local information is not as reliable as the WRC map; this is the most accurate map available for Vermont state
- VTrans site – not a map, but the AOT now has an easily-understandable chart on their homepage listing roads and their status by section
- Massachusetts Google Map – no information or guarantees about how reliable this map is, but it shows problems in western Massachusetts
Power Outages
- Vermont Power Outages – outages by utility and county across the state
- CVPS Outages – power outages and information for CVPS (updated every 15 minutes)
How do I get there from here?
Links to maps are above, but if you're here you're probably trying to answer that question. Unfortunately there's no authoritative answer at the moment. Public works departments and contractors are performing some herculean tasks repairing roadways, but some roads are open, some are now passable but should be left clear for reconstruction and truly key vehicles, and some are simply destroyed. As we get information here, we will fill these in:
- Rockingham to Rutland: Route 103 in its entirety is open to two-way traffic (but work continues)
- Brattleboro Wilmington: Go through MA and up to route 100; Route 9 is closed except for local and essential traffic only – no commercial vehicles
- Brattleboro to Bennington: through MA and up Route 7
If you have an approved path to get from here to there, please send it in.

With The Walking Dead continuing to draw a massive audience, I'm not expecting the zombie craze to go anywhere soon.
This isn't necessarily a bad thing — anything that brings our genre to a wider audience is to be applauded. The fact is zombies are so popular because they are a bloody good horror device. The storytelling potential with zombies is great, the problem is too many people cashing in on the trend are happy to rehash what we've seen before (namely Romero's first three seminal Dead flicks) rather than tell a new and original tale.
Last week saw the release of Ryan Andrews' SICK.
Is this a film that breathes fresh life into the undead? Or just another resurrection of a mouldy old corpse? Read on...
Dir: Ryan M. Andrews
Starring: Christina Aceto, Richard Roy Sutton, Robert Nolan, Jennifer Polansky, Debbie Rochon, Sandra DaCosta, Ryan Barrett, Devin Upham, Breanne TeBoekhorst, Cengis H Fehmi
SPEEDY SYNOPSIS: I'll try not to spoil too much here but continue at your own risk.
A deadly virus has ravaged the earth. The infected have become ravenous predators, shuffling and mindless until they catch a scent of prey, than swiftly becoming brain-eating killing machines. Society has collapsed — aside from a few government bases that act as safe zones, the world is overcome.
A few scavengers, known as Vultures, survive in this mess, sweeping for food, clothes, medicines, weapons — anything that can help in the day to day battle for survival.
In one government base, Dr Leigh Rozetta (Aceto) is working towards finding a cure. Aided by her tough assistant (and former vulture) Claudia (Polansky) the task seems fruitless, even if video contact with her colleague Dr Fehmi (the great Rochon) suggests headway is being made. Under increasing pressure from the overbearing armed forces troops in the base, Rozetta decides to head out into the world beyond her base and return to her parents' home.
Meanwhile a group of vultures led by the shrewd McKay (Hickey's House of Horrors fave Nolan) and including tough and jaded Seph (Sutton) are heading out on a routine sweep. These characters are due to collide under terrifying circumstances. The only question is: who will survive the night?
THE BEST BITS (minor spoiling warning): One of SICK's strongest points is how unpredictable it is. Taking a pretty cliched set-up (small group of survivors holed up in an isolated home surrounded by the undead while tensions summer within) it twists and turns along some routes that I really never saw coming. Whatever events you feel sure will occur later in the story are swiftly tugged out from under your feet.
Characters have arcs you can't possibly predict and deaths occur in an order you'd never guess. This is refreshing to see, I can guarantee that a major studio would have never shown the guts to make some of the decisions that Andrews et al have in this film.
This is a grim, dark story. It is almost unrelentingly horrifying and rarely shows a light at the end of the tunnel. It carries some serious gut-punches that will definitely hit you hard. This is not a feel-good film, but this is rarely a feel-good genre. I mean this in the very best way, SICK: Survive the Night is a HORROR film.

This is not a feel-good film, but this is rarely a feel-good genre. I mean this in the very best way, SICK: Survive the Night is a HORROR film.
The dense plot is also used to explain the nature of the infected more — there is very much a scientific explanation for a lot of the zombies' behaviour. Andrews and his writing partner Chris Cull have clearly put a lot of thought into fully realising this grin world they have created. Andrews has said that he and Cull envision SICK as part of a trilogy and there is definitely scope to continue and expand upon this story.
The film is comparatively low-budget (as so many indies in the genre are), but Abdrews and his cinematographer Michael Jari Davidson do a pretty good job with what they have at their disposal to keep the film looking polished with some great shots that clearly show some love towards the films of Romero.
The Sick are a little different too, combining the classic shuffling zombie with today's 28 Days Later-inspired fast-moving and ferocious infected. The make-up effects are simple but nicely done, eerie black veins and lots of dripping brownish blood. It's a shame the now ubiquitous pale-blue/white contacts make another appearance, but I'm prepared to let that slide.
Of course it's no good having a great and well-realised world and a quirky story if the actors aren't up to the task of bringing it to life. One of SICK's big strengths is that the infected themselves are almost a backdrop to the far more human story taking place about trust, survival and the relationships of our ragtag band of leads. This requires that they all hit their mark. Thankfully there are some very strong performances to be had here. Those who've read my reviews of both Worm and Familiar will know how impressed I've been by Robert Nolan and once again, he rocks. He's one hell of an actor and he's fast making a big fan here. Once again, well done, sir!
Of course he's joined by another of my genre favourites, scream queen legend Debbie Rochon and she is marvellous as always. Much like her turn in Phobia, she's clearly having a blast but this time she's afforded a fair bit more screen time.
It's not just the big-names that account themselves well — I was impressed by Sutton who showed a great range in his role of Seph and Aceto had some fantastic moments. I'll be looking out for both of them in the future.

THE WORST BITS (mild spoiler warning): Basically, SICK: Survive the Night is a zombie movie. For a lot of you hardcore fans, that will be an instant no-no. The over-exposed nature of the undead epidemic film will mean that a lot of you won't be prepared to sit through another hour and a half of bickering survivors, waves of brain-eaters and the crumbling of civilisation. SICK takes some risks and adds some nice twists to the story, but the basic premise is one we've seen a lot. If you've had enough of carnivorous corpses, this one could leave you cold.
It is to be applauded by trying something different by focusing on the characters rather than the zombies, but that isn't actually that different nowadays. In fact, most recent low-budget zombie movies tend to do this, probably because it saves on a crippling effects budget.
Speaking of effects, those of you looking for plentiful gore will be disappointed here. This isn't a film about spilled guts, gallons of blood and grisly wounds. I'd argue that is most certainly not the point of SICK, but there is VERY little of the mucky stuff on display, so if that is what gets you going with an undead caper, you're out of luck.Also, while earlier on I praised the unpredictable writing, one of the side effects of this is that some very interesting characters who you expect a lot more from get less screentime than perhaps they should. This was especially true of Polansky's Claudia, who felt a little wasted. She was given a clear arc, a glimpse of gratuitous nudity and an under-developed lesbian sub-plot, but hardly any time to do much with it. I also would have LOVED to see more of the vulture group's knife-throwing bad ass (Fehmi). Perhaps one of the other SICK trilogy of films will give us some more of them? Fingers crossed.
Also, while I praised the leads, alas not every member of the cast was quite up to the lofty standards of the likes of Rochon and Nolan. This is often the case with low-budget horror — an expensive star often appears alongside some decidedly lower-rent actors and proceed to show them up along the way. Luckily the main culprits of this were limited to very little screen time and it isn't an issue in too many scenes.
Finally, speaking of Rochon and Nolan, I was gutted to see that though don't get to share any scenes. Oh man! Looks like I'll have to wait to see two of my favourites rocking it onscreen together. Are you listening out there horror filmmakers? Somebody make it so!
VERDICT: I enjoyed SICK: Survive the Night a lot, but it won't be for everyone. It is an unashamed zombie flick. It doesn't reinvent the wheel by any stretch, but it takes a tried and tested formula and gives it some nice tweaks here and there to keep it interesting. I'm going to recommend the flick, and not just to completist fans who'll snap up anything with Ms Rochon in.
It looks good, it sounds good, there's a top-drawer cast and an interesting and unpredictable story in a well-realised world. What more are you after? Count me in for any sequels too, I'd love to see what else Andrews and his crew have waiting for us.
The film is available now through most major stockists, so be sure to check it out. Also, why not check out the movie's Facebook page? Give it a Like too, especially if you want to Ryan's trilogy vision come to fruition!

AMHERST – The Mining Association of Nova Scotia contends the province's protected spaces plan is harming Cumberland County's economy.
The association is suggesting that by swapping land that it can support the economy while protecting important natural spaces.
"While the mining and quarrying industry supports protecting natural lands for future generations, we also believe the plan needs to strike a better balance between protecting land and protecting jobs," the association's executive director Sean Kirby said. "The lands chosen for protection by the previous government disproportionately harm certain rural areas of the province, such as Cumberland. We respectfully suggest that only a flawed process could result in those areas being forced to bear so much of the plan's economic cost."
The mining association recently released a report detailing how the plan harms dozens of potential mineral projects and makes it harder for the industry to create new jobs for Nova Scotians. Its report suggests Cumberland County contains 7.1 per cent of the total amount of protected land in Nova Scotia - more than seven times as much as some other counties.
The county contains a total of 51 overlaps between protected areas and known mineral occurrences. The mining association contends these overlaps make it harder, or outright prevent, exploration and development of all that potential wealth.
RELATED: Between a rock and a sacred place on Kellys Mountain
Some other counties contain far fewer, or even zero overlaps.
One of the overlaps is the Canfield Creek copper deposit, approximately five kilometres south of Pugwash. Problem is the copper deposit is adjacent to, and runs into, the Pugwash Estuary - a protected area.
This makes the protected part of the deposit inaccessible and reduces the deposit's potential value. It also makes it harder to attract investment to the project because of uncertainty about whether it would be possible to get permits to operate a mine close to, but outside, a protected area.
Several nearby mineral deposits are also overlapped by protected land, including deposits of gypsum, iron and a historical copper mine.
The mining association is proposing the use of a land swap mechanism to swap out a small amount of protected land in exchange for land of at least equal size and ecological value outside the protected area. This would improve the business case for the Canfield Creek deposit.
Kirby said this would ensure that the total amount of protected land remains the same or grows; the ecological value of protected lands remains the same or grows; and Nova Scotians would continue to be able to access the minerals they need to create jobs and grow the economy.
Cumberland North Conservative MLA Elizabeth Smith-McCrossin believes there is a way to protect space while allowing for the extraction of minerals in a responsible manner.
"We need to aggressively grow our economy here in Cumberland North," Smith-McCrossin said in an emailed statement. "We need to look at all opportunities including responsible mineral extraction and development of our natural resources. There are some exciting opportunities here in Cumberland County. We need to ensure there is a balance between protecting the land where necessary and allowing economic development with responsible environmental standards."
Writer and naturalist Harry Thurston does not agree.
"Mr. Kirby is being deliberately misleading in making this proposal," said Thurston, who is a member the Cumberland Wilderness that's working to protect land on the Isthmus of Chignecto. "You can't mix and match this land that has been protected for other areas that are supposedly of equal ecological value. The fact of the matter is there was a rigorous scientific process that identified the land that needed to be protected. It has no basis in science.
Thurston said the land protection process has been ongoing for more than 20 years through a series of governments of all political stripes and is supported by a solid majority of Nova Scotians.
"There is no merit to what they're proposing," Thurston said. "This is an attempted end run and I don't think government is going to give it any real consideration at all."
Chrissy Matheson, a media relations advisor with the province, said protected areas are a response to biodiversity loss caused by human activities and are being recognized globaly for their role in protecting nature.
"The integrity of our protected areas depends on their long-term protection, with biodiversity conservation at the forefront," she said in an emailed statement to the Amherst News. "This effort is undertaken with many partners, as is evident in the protected lands highlighted by MANS near Pugwash that are conserved by the Nature Conservancy of Canada."
Matheson said the province understands the concerns raised by the mining association regarding the potential impacts of protected areas on the mineral industry.
"Through the parks and protected areas planning process we have taken significant steps to avoid adversely impacting mineral interests," she said. "Benefitting from consultations with industry, MANS, and others, more than 96 per cent of mineral rights were avoided when identifying new protected areas, and of those areas overlapped by protection proposals, the majority were identified in a unique category so that they would only be protected if mineral rights expire. Land-swap proposals are not being considered by government at this time."

The one you describe is the only one released as far as I know. Surprised to hear it was sold at shows... makes me wonder why they are having problems fulfilling orders.
Paradiddle has deleted all reference to the CD from their website, the Shop at Stony Brook lists it as "in stock" but it is not being shipped.

Personal and Domestic Plumbing Perturbations
As a month it's been memorable, not in a misty-eyed, rose-tinted glasses mode though; more like a veritable mensis horriblus. It started with the Stephen's-Day thaw, one of those once-in-a-lifetime, extraordinary weather events that saw the temperature soar from a bracing minus seven to a balmy plus eight in the space of 24 hours! Our house being of the Baby Boom generation with all the attendant physical figaries of third age, was perhaps built to withstand such events while in its first flush of youth but not now in its sixties. As with all cantankerous 'auld wans, when placed under such extreme environmental pressure; our house burst a pipe. The water broke through the ceiling just left of Boy Wonder's bed and flowed unimpeded through the house until it had laid waste to three ceilings, one floor, quite a few pieces of furniture and a brand-new space ship which had recently landed courtesy of a very kind gentleman delivering goods from somewhere north of Greenland.
We were homeless but unharmed and in possession of a fully paid-up home insurance policy, it could have been a lot worse we reasoned calmly. Of course it could, I know it could, but six weeks in and still no sign of a moving-home date I have to admit to having a meltdown and to believing in my own self-indulgent, snot-fest that it couldn't possibly, ever be worse than this! I hadn't realised how much my home serves to anchor me in the chaos of the open water of life with a kid with a secondhand kidney. Well at least now I know (note to self: avoid repeat of homelessness at all costs).
As luck would have it, Rory's own plumbing, although considerably younger than that of our humble home, had its own foibles. I believe the technical term for his condition was a 'kink in the pipe'. Probably due to the meteoric rate at which he is growing, this 'kink' needed a lot of investigation and a whole heap of monitoring. The added complication of spending at least one day a week in a hospital on the other side of the country does little to aid the affliction of temporary homelessness.
In the midst of the maelstrom created by staunching the flow in some pipes, while trying to increase the output of others, the HSE saw fit to cancel Boy Wonder's medical card. A mere slip of the pen almost put paid the very costly supply of anti-rejection drugs. As is usual with all things HSE-esque, it took a small non-renewable forest of paperwork, coupled with the intersession of saints, scholars and, I dare say, a near-schizophrenic mother to get it back.
I have greeted the recent arrival of spring with a sense of exhaustion so pervasive that I have been unable to think never mind blog. I'm hoping the stretch in the evenings will loosen the logjam in my brain and allow some light to flow again.

Raefindan limped alongside Aeron, who had helped him pack, and reminded him of the word he had hauled out at need, not having remembered it until that moment: kleenex. He thought about it as best he could as he sniffed and sneezed and limped along as best he could, feeling as if his waterlogged head was still underwater with that merchant. Kleenex. When was the last time he had used the word? He could not remember when, but he remembered the look of the place he had been...
.... a small room with a bed far more comfortable than any he had slept in during the last few weeks... soft curtains on windows, the glass panes of which were thin as the morning's hoarfrost; here windows were at least an inch thick. A cold. That's what it was called.... to catch cold....blow your nose into a kleenex....what a strange word, and a strange spelling! The meaning was Clean, but ex? He couldn't place it.
"What was that you said, Raefindan?" Aeron asked him.
"What? I said?" He had been mumbling without realizing it. "I rebeber the place I was last wed I used that word, kleedex. It is a fidne, thid, soft sheet folded over od itself, about the size of a sball parchbet, ad you use it as a dose rag."
"Ugh! You would get it all over your hands! It is too thin!"
Raefindan laughed, which turned to a coughing fit. He groaned, and the ache in his left hip felt worse than ever.
"Oh, what I woudd't do for sub cough medicid."
"Medus - did?" Aeron asked. "Who is Medus, and what did he do, and what has he to do with coughing?"
"A healig draught, to you. It's a codcoctiod-" Aeron looked at him blankly "-ub, it is a bix of wud herb's juice ad other thigs, and drickig it bakes the coughig stop for a little while."
"Ah," Aeron nodded wisely. "You want an herbalist."
"Doe kiddig."
"Now you have turned the offspring of goats into a thing you do! You turn what is said on it's ear, Raefindan!"
He smiled for sheer pleasure. "Aerod, you bake be forget by cold, ad that's sayig subthig!"
"Of course, it is. Why would it not be?"
Raefindan laughed again, which turned to a fit of sneezing, seven in a row. That had to be significant for something, he thought to himself ruefully. Ah yes, significant. That confounded dream. He would have to tell Melonnin about it at some point, when he was ready.

SEOUL (AP) -- Hyundai Group, South Korea's largest conglomerate, signed an agreement with North Korea on Wednesday to build a multi-billion dollar industrial complex in the communist state, company officials said.
Hyundai Asan, which heads the group's North Korea projects, will build the complex in Kaesung, just north of the border with the South, said Hyundai spokesman Lee Jae Hee. He declined to reveal further details.
Hyundai said earlier this month that North Korean leader Kim Jong Il proposed Kaesung as the site for the complex. A cross-border railway that the two Koreas have agreed to reconnect goes through the city.
Hyundai hopes to focus on labor intensive industries like the production of shoes and textiles to capitalize on the communist state's cheap labor.
Critics have warned that Hyundai's North Korea projects may exacerbate the group's financial problems. The company is suffering a cash crunch and plans to share much of the cost of the project with joint-venture partners.
In late 1998, Hyundai launched a $942 million tourism project at North Korea's east coast Diamond Mountain. Over 250,000 South Koreans have visited the mountain, but the project has been losing money.
All South Korean investment in the North is subject to approval by the government in Seoul, which under President Kim Dae Jung has been encouraging investment and engagement of its reclusive northern neighbor.
The inter-Korean relations thawed further after leaders of the two Koreas held a historic summit in June and called for national reconciliation and reunification.
The Korean peninsula was divided into the communist North and the pro-Western South in 1945. They fought a three-year war in the early 1950s.


text: Ex Joseph Lucas Ltd Employees Asked To Assist With Asbestos Investigation Widow Appeals For Husband's Former Colleagues To Come Forward 28.10.2013 The widow of a man who died from mesothelioma, an asbestos-related cancer, is appealing for anyone who may have worked with her husband at a Birmingham factory to help with information about his exposure to the deadly substance. John Lapthorne, 71, who lived in Ixworth, Suffolk with his wife Elizabeth, died in May 2013 after a battle with the disease. John worked at Joseph Lucas Limited, on Foremans Road in Birmingham, between about 1959 and the early 1970s. He was employed initially in the car battery production department and subsequently in the accounts department, where he was required to visit each of the departments to collect wage information. There were documents in each of the shops that John would have had to collect, including documents from the Made In Lucas Acid resisting Material (MILAM) shop. The car battery factory was split into different departments including the stores, warehousing, assembly shop, charging shop and another department called the MILAM department. The MILAM shop at Formans Road was a separate area of the factory that was partitioned off. However, there were interconnecting doors in and out of the shop and people were going in and out on a regular basis. It is from this time period that John's widow Elizabeth and specialist lawyers at Irwin Mitchell are seeking John's former Joseph Lucas colleagues, in the hope they can provide further information about the working conditions and presence of asbestos at the factory. Before his death, John could remember blue asbestos being used in the manufacturing of the car battery casings and that he was exposed to the toxic dust that came off during the manufacturing process. The car battery production department was also quite close to the MILAM shop where blue asbestos was mixed. When in the accounts department, John would regularly have to walk through the various factories and assembly shops which were referred to as the "Burma Road" to get out and to go to the other admin offices near the factory. Helen Ashton, a Partner and asbestos expert at Irwin Mitchell said: "We are seeking former employees of Joseph Lucas who can provide further information about the MILAM shop, its location and any information about asbestos in the factories generally. "Employers were well aware of the dangers of asbestos exposure before the 1970s so there should be no excuse for companies not providing their workers with the appropriate protection. Unfortunately, because the deadly dust takes decades to develop, it is often only decades later that people begin suffering the effects." Commenting on her loss, John's widow Elizabeth said: "John's death came as a great shock to us all, as he had always been in great health and was still working full time when he was diagnosed with mesothelioma. He was a much loved husband, father and grandfather and will be sorely missed." Anyone with relevant information should contact Helen Ashton or Nicole Stringfellow at Irwin Mitchell on 0370 1500 100 or e-mail email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com If you or a loved one has been affected by an asbestos related illness, our solicitors can help you to claim compensation.

China's stocks rose after a report a unit of UBS AG bought 300 million yuan ($44 million) of mainland equities lifted optimism that recent selloffs amid a global rout are near an end. The CSI 300 Index, which tracks yuan-denominated A shares listed on China's two exchanges, advanced 28.05, or 1.7 percent, to 1,677.83 at the close. Eight of the 10 industry groups rose.

You Can Get Free Pins at Disneyland and California Adventure
At City City Hall in Disneyland and the Chamber of Commerce in California Adventure, all you have to do is stroll up and ask for a free button to get one.
Among the buttons you can get are First Time Visitor and Birthday versions. They also have a selection of buttons to celebrate all the stages of married life: engagements, getting married and anniversaries. Or just to celebrate in general.
My favorite is the "honorary citizen" button.
Tips for Disneyland Pins
- You don't have to prove anything to pick up a button. You could be celebrating your January birthday in July and they don't care or check your ID for proof.
- If you wear your pin all day, expect people to comment. Cast Members will always say something, but I've also seen people in a ride queue spontaneously sing "Happy Birthday" to someone wearing a pin.
- If you're celebrating your birthday, you can get more than just a pin. Here's are more ways to celebrate your birthday at Disneyland.
- If you lose your pin, don't fret. Just go get another one.
The pins you see above were photographed a few years ago. Designs change periodically, making it fun to collect a set if you visit often.

Character Autographs Are Free at Disneyland and California Adventure
Character autographs are free. All you have to do is stand in line to get one. Bring something from home for them to sign and you don't have to spend money on a souvenir autograph book, either.
Tips for Character Autographs
- Characters will autograph almost anything - including clothing, as long as you aren't wearing it.
- Some of the characters wear thick, bulky gloves. Bring a chunky pen like a Sharpie to make it easier for them to hold.
- Think of something fun to ask the character to write and you'll get a unique autograph.
- To have more fun when you meet the characters, check out these tips for How to Meet the Disneyland Characters.

Disney Gift Cards Are Free (Kinda)
You will have to give them money to get a gift card, but you're going to spend some anyway and when it's empty, it's a cute souvenir that you could make into a luggage tag.
They start at $15 and if you spend it all (which you probably will), you can keep the card and it cost you nothing.
Tips for Disney Gift Cards
Continue to 5 of 9 below.
- Gift cards are a great way to keep your kids on budget at Disneyland. Buy one for each of them and when they're empty, they're done.

Get Free Copies of Your Ride Photos at Disneyland and California Adventure
At most theme parks, you have to pay for a copy of your ride photo. If you pull out your phone to take a picture of the screen, you'll be asked not to. At Disneyland, guests can snap a picture of the image preview screen with no hassles.
Check when you exit to see your photos from Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, Tower of Terror and other rides. At Buzz Lightyear Astroblasters, you can email a copy of your photo to yourself - or your friends.
Tips for Ride Photos
- Check our Disneyland Ride Guide and California Adventure Ride Guide to find out which rides have photos and where they are taken. An unprepared rider can look pretty goofy if they aren't ready to smile for the camera.
- Take a moment to position your camera so the screen looks square. To do that, you may have to tilt it up or down, or side to side.
- If it looks darker on your screen than it should, tap the screen in a darker spot and see if it lightens up. Too bright? Tap a bright spot instead.

WASHINGTON -- I was chatting with an Egyptian friend in Cairo two weeks ago when she got a joke e-mailed to her cell phone, which she immediately shared with me. It said: "President Bush: Take Syria -- get Lebanon for free."
Now that it's become apparent that the Syrians have given military help to Saddam Hussein's army, and are alleged to be providing sanctuary for members of his despised clique, the question has been raised as to whether the Bush team might take out Syria's regime next. After all, when the Roto-Rooter truck's in the neighborhood, why not take advantage?
My short answer is this: There are many good reasons for the United States to promote reform or regime change in Syria, but we have no legal basis to do it now by military means and are not likely to try. Yet Syria, and countries like it, will be a problem, and we need a new strategic doctrine in the post-Hussein era to deal with them.

Mother and The Addicts
- Malcolm Jack
- 9 August 2007
Science Fiction Illustrated
(Chemikal Underground)
Mother and the Addicts' debut album burst, in a flurry of white funk and eyeliner, from out of nowhere in 2005 – and subsequently left more people scratching their heads than dipping into their pockets. Successfully bedded in now, the Glasgow quartet return with another hair-brained hair-raiser – one that should rightly propel them to heights merited.
Orange Juice remain a heavy influence – particularly on Sam 'Mother' Smith's knowing croon and wrist-heavy guitar work. There's an unrelentingly groovy thrust this time round, though, one that incorporates everything from retro rockabilly ('All In the Mind') to bug-eyed electro funk ('Watch the Lines'). It's the sort of record whole new dances are invented to.

Participants in any barter exchange should know that the IRS does require barter "income" to be reported, and gets real nasty if they find out after the fact. A few years ago when I was active on a barter exchange I did declare everything and it was a pain; but not nearly the pain it was for some people who didn't and received bills for tens of thousands of dollars of extra income. Barter exchanges in the U.S. are supposed to file forms with the IRS with each member's transaction totals. Hint: the IRS does not accept barter to pay tax bills.
This isn't barter. You give it away or you get something someone else wants to give away. No trade, no exchange.

Best Practices in Internet Regulation
Right-of-Way Access
Regulation of network interconnection and traffic exchange
Successful exchanges are not subject to any sort of licensing or regulatory activity in any part of the world. On the contrary, IXPs subject to regulatory activities are less likely to succeed because they introduce administrative overheads to an inherently technical and simple task, which is allowing the flow of packets from service provider A to service provider B. Of the worldâs four hundred exchanges, the only one that weâre aware of that operates under a license is the KPIX in Nairobi, Kenya, and that was because of a misunderstanding on the part of the regulator. Subsequently-established exchanges in Kenya, however, have not required licenses.
An IXP is not, fundamentally, a thing. The parties to interconnection are the ISPs, which may need to operate under a license, but the IXP is simply a place where they interconnect. Drivers may require licenses to to drive their cars on the street, but the street is not required to have a license to be driven upon. Itâs merely an unfortunate coincidence that some IXPs are incorporated as legal entities; itâs a bad judgment on their part, but the bad judgment of the few should not be visited upon the many. An IXP certainly should not be assumed or required to have a legal existence, or be a taxable entity, or a regulatable entity, and more than a street should.
From an economic perspective, a licensing process would add transaction costs to the exchange of Internet traffic that will have to be met by service providers and ultimately by end-users and business. In turn, this will make ISPs less competitive and less able to generate profit that can be reinvested in infrastructure and business development.
In terms of time and resources, hat exchange points in their conception and start-up phase are mostly run by volunteer members of the exchange in their spare time. This decision is mostly taken because the exchange point is not a revenue generating business but rather a facilitator of interconnection of business interests. It then makes total sense for their members to keep operational costs of the IXP as low as possible. A regulatory process of licensing, will add rules and requirements that will increase the administrative work required to set up an exchange and hence an barrier to economic development.

OXFORD -- A prolonged battle over the legality of a small bridge returns to court today, six years after plans to develop a privately owned island sparked a bitter dispute among wealthy waterfront landowners here.
The tiny bridge leads from the Talbot County mainland to Sol's Island, a five-acre wooded tract surrounded by Boone Creek, near the Choptank River.
But the debate over the wooden bridge has led to a complicated and expensive law suit alleging, among other claims, that high officials secretly plotted to allow the bridge to be built. Opponents also say the bridge hinders navigation and lowers property values.

It's funny how I'm reminiscing fashion show that are for next spring/summer when I'm just getting over the fact that this summer is long gone. NYFW is such a timelined event--all things fashion rise like a tidal wave in those few days and before you know it fashion culture seems to subside. Anywho, I don't know what I've been waiting for in keep these photos to myself, so thought I'd share the NYFW love.
A perk about being a college student in the city is definitely the ability to hit up New York Fashion Week like a boss. Christian Siriano's show was probably my favorite out of the few shows I was fortunate enough to attend. I wrote a pretty delectable review of the show for my school's paper so I'm not going to let you read it. If you're too lazy to click the link--oh our society--here it is. Read it. Because I'm actually proud of this article and I am rarely willing to flaunt my writing.
"Set at the dimly lit Eyebeam Studios in the Meatpacking District, fashion savvy citizens including Brad Goreski and Natasha Bedingfield, were in for a treat. Literally.
(She looks like she's going to eat Brad like a mochi)
Think of your favorite dessert. Baby blue icing blanketed over a decadently sweet cupcake topped with bubble gum pink sprinkles. Something fondly familiar, but every time so new. Transfer those hues, that flavor and those uninhibited good times into metallic blue fabrics, sherbet colored gowns, and seafoam accesories. This is Christian Siriano's Spring/Summer 2013 collection.
With whimsically fluid moving dresses, his pieces charm you like the sweet glaze of icing brushing against your lips. Inspiring this treat is the classic, A Midsummer Night's Dream. Layers of colored tulle ruffle over each other, blending magically, reminding Siriano of a favorite Degas painting, Three Ballet Dancers. Light and romantic is the name of the game but magnificently bright crystal rhinestones prove this collection is no joke. Folded ribbon bow detail on his Julie heels are reminiscent of something on a wedding cake. And for the first time, Siriano included a flat shoe, more specifically a ballerina oxford.
Soft top buns and light, shimmering make up keep the ballerina feel and sweet tone. And who says sweet can't be serious, Siriano makes it work. Once the lavender and blue infused watercolor gown hit the runway, a gasp of awe flew into the studio, eyes aglow at the strapless tiered tulle gown.
(When these chicas stepped on the runway and strut their strut for half a minute, all I could think of was Mean Girls)
And trends? Consider mermaid and girly girl hues, but with no shortage of rocking pixie girl metallics. Siriano is killing us softly and the crowd is eating it up."
I wish he was my best friend. For the record, he gave me a hug at his store opening during Fashion's Night Out. He is so bright and fabulous, and exuded lots of excitement when I asked him about his favorite piece for his new collection at the store, which turned out to be his bright magenta pieces. :)
For the record, here is the actual article in Washington Square News.

I was a typical kid brought up in C(India). I have never washed clothes, folded or ironed clothes. When I came to the states, I had enough clothes for the first two weeks so I didnt have to go to the laundry room. And then.. the nightmare started.. I have a bunch of clothes all piled in a corner of the room. I had to take them to the laundry room to do my laundry.. huh.. what.. I thought you had it at home.. Ya right welcome to the world of apartments and coin laundry.
I ask my roommate who is the "most " helpful person to guide me.. she says.. " The machine is on the top floor of this building. go and do your laundry there. Take your clothese in your stroller if you want." I gather my clothes and go up to the laundry room. Now I load my clothes into a machine that is empty. Now what do I do next?
It then dawns on me that I need the detergent.. So I rush down stairs and borrow laundry detergent from my friend. Now the machine is all loaded and everything. I click the start button but the laundry machine does not start.. I wonder why.. I turn the knob, adjust the clothes inside the washer. i try everything. Nothing seems to help. I see a $ sign.. Now that means money.. But I never used to see Amma pay money for laundry .. So whats with this machine. luckily a lady walks in with a pile of clothes to launder. I ask her, innocently, what do I need to do? She says I need to put in coins so the machine would start. I again go back to my room and grab the cash and complete my laundry.
When the clothes come out of the dryer.. they are all dyed in a shade of blue.. I wonder why...........

Separate laws for aboriginals....
It's hard to believe this story...but this is what multiculturalism has come to...
A previously convicted drunk driver will not serve a day behind bars for an alcohol-fueled crash which killed his fiancé on Valentine's Day and left three other innocent motorists seriously injured.
Edward Sinclair, 51, was handed a two-year-less-a-day conditional sentence Thursday which allows him to remain free in the community.
Provincial court Judge Linda Giesbrecht cited Sinclair's claims of being a "role model" in the native community as a key factor in her decision to reject the Crown's bid for a two year jail term.
Giesbrecht said she was also following a Supreme Court edict which tells judges to give special consideration to some Aboriginal offenders based on their troubled upbringing.
Sinclair had told a probation officer he began drinking at a young age after seeing his father do it and has fought a losing battle with the bottle ever since because of his culture.
"His perception of inequality in his younger years has contributed to his use and abuse of alcohol," said Giesbrecht.
Thanks to James for sending me this clip.
