to be envious of my friend and a bit miffed
(77 Posts)Not sure if miffed is the right word.
lovely friend. Lovely hard working family. Comfortably off.
We do ok. Dp works like a slave, me sahm but have mh issues that are preventing me from working just now I certainly dont consider us to be hard up at the moment.
I have been walking my friends dog. On the odd occasion. When I walk in her house I have to strip off the minite I walk through the door its like the tropics only the dog home.
I honestly thought everyone worried about fuel bills. We still are putting jumpers on in evening no heating unless its bitter twice this year.
I might start spending the day at hers " kerping the dog company" luxuriating in the warm
Sounds great, invite a few friends round and have cocktails! Grass skirts as dress code?
Our house was so hot at times last winter that we had the windows open in freezing weather.
Actually our heating developped a fault. It inevitably started Friday night and was better by Monday morning, but the heating wouldn't turn off at all and just got hotter and hotter.
Problem was there were several things it could be (apparently) and so they needed to be here when it was doing it.
I am currently wearing teeny shorts and top and its warm in here. I havent once turned my heating on since last feb. My place is just naturally hot, and my mum is always moaning its boiling in here.
passedgo - who has a middleclass hairshirt mentality??? I certainly don't - i cannot afford to have the heating on during the day, I cannot afford generally to have it on in the evenings but im not going to whine about it. I do have a log burner and we use that rather than the heating as it is more efficient and is a far niceer heat, but we haven't had it on yet. I was bemoaning my friend heating an empty house! We have a pre-paid meter and it really brings it home to you how much you are paying per day for gas - Its staggering. I can promise you it saves far than a few pounds a week.
I think having a cold house because of a middle class hairshirt mentality is just sad. What's the point? It only saves a few pounds a week. Victorian homes didn't have central heating but they were densely packed with people, and there would have been a fire on in every room. They were not designed to be kept cold in winter.
scarer -
I don't think you can compare x temperature in your house with x temperature in someone else's house because it really does depend on where your thermostat is located and draughts etc.
I think those of us who grew up in cold damp homes overcompensate when we get our own homes.
The only heating in my childhood home was a gas fire in the living room and we only had hot water once a week. It was freezing and you never got warm.
I now have a very small house with an efficient central heating system. I keep our house warm and toasty. The heating isn't on at the moment because it's set to come on if the temperature drops below 20c and as it's fairly warm outside it hasn't kicked in. I pay less in energy bills than friends with draughty cold houses.
ChippingIn he was gorgeous, and for six of the seven weeks you wouldn't have known he was ill unless he got too cold. He deteriorated quickly at the end but we know he had six better weeks with us than he would have had on the streets where we found him or in a shelter, so I'm just glad we were able to give them to him.
We got him a fleecy coat for walks and kept the house warm and he was just lovely, very affectionate and loving.
We live in a Victorian conversion flat-we've experimented with different ways of running heating and it's definitely more cost effective for us to run at a steady very low once it's cold so it always feels cosy to visitors.
On the dog walking front-our cat sitter did a course through battersea dogs home about pet care when she set up so she's got specialist knowledge about administering medication etc and insurance so she looks after all sorts and has a great time!
mrsjay - definately, i have years of doggie experience so it would certainly be a good avenue for me (i just don't like being cold!)
I suppose a lovely summer stroll with a happy dog is lovely wet windy and freezing not so much ,
We have a thermostat too and it goes on and off. Just out of curiosity- what do people set theirs at? My former boss used to set hers at 24 which would render me unconscious. Last year we set ours at about 19, but already this year I have cranked it up to 20 which is about my limit. We used to live in a really cold climate (sub zero minus at least 15-20 degrees ) and in those days thought 14 in the house was toasty!
(Not commenting on the fact that my DH leaves the electric blanket on for the dogs . But only if we are at home, so I always have to check the fucker is off before going out).
We have ours on all day, controlled on the thermostat so that it clicks on and off to maintain a constant temperature.
I'm a SAHM with a preschooler so I am here a lot during the day, but if we go away then I leave the heating on but put the thermostat a couple of degrees lower - I hate coming home to a cold house.
Scarer Poor little woof - but I bet he enjoyed his time with you x
LEM - I think dog walking would be a brilliant little business for you! You could do as much or as little as you feel able to and you can't get better co-workers In the meantime, take your book & keep her pooch company!
Maybe she makes sure its on for you? You're walking her dog, its starting to get a bit nippy (the weather, not the dog) and she's making sure you have warmth when you come in from doing her a favour? If this is a possibility say she doesn't need to and the next time she might leave it off.
Iamsparkly - my cats are my heating pads. My ch is not going on before 1 Nov, come what may. Luckily both cats like to snuggle.
Is the dog well?
I know that sounds odd, but last year we took in a stray terrier that had been abandoned and he turned out to be very ill.
He had bone cancer and if he was cold he shivered and hunched over and could hardly walk and was in pain, I can't describe how bad he was, but it was very distressing to see him that first time it got cold and it affected him so badly. He was in a terrible state and I thought we would lose him there and then.
So after that we had to leave the heating on all the time for him and make sure he had lots of cushions and blankets in his bed. He seemed to feel the cold so much more badly even if it felt quite warm to everyone else.
He died seven weeks after we took him.
I think YABVVU because its absolutely none of your business.
Your friend goes out to work and likes to come home to a warm house.
Why does it matter to you?
I put it on for them when they're wet after walk.
We pay into our oil account all year round in order to keep our heating on 24/7 during the winter, we live in a very old house and ds has ashma. I never thought I'd here myself say it... but I wish we had a gas supply, would be much cheaper than oil.
We pay around £800 to fill our oil tank, and it will only last around 3 months during the winter and that's with the thermostat set to 18, so not exactly hot.
I would rather give up other things than have a cold house.
Who ARE these people who put the central heating on for their dogs?? I mean, dogs have coats ffs!! They hardly need the heating on if they are indoors, what a waste of money!
My pampered cats get those heating pad thingys under their favorite napping spots - they seem to prefer somewhere with the direct heat source they can sprawl over anyway - pretty sure you can get them specially for dogs.
Personally I prefer a hot water bottle to the heating anyway. The air gets to 'thick' for me when it's too hot.
You would probably think the same walking into our house. Essentially, the thermostat is rubbish and ridiculously hard to programme, so the heating often kicks in at bizarre times of day. We've tried to sort it but it's very temperamental.
mrsjay - definately, i have years of doggie experience so it would certainly be a good avenue for me (i just don't like being cold!) am sat here with two jumpers,my own dog on my feet covered with a fleecy blanket and im still cold and grumpy - DP on the other hand, sat with just a T-shirt on
It's a dog. It has a fucking fur coat. YANBU.

So, I've read all 6 Jane Austen novels. I had planned to move right on to her minor works (The Watsons, Sanditon, Lady Susan, and the "juvenilia") but I have felt rather uninformed as to other classics of late, so I'm taking a little break from Jane Austen (though she is always in the back of my mind, whatever I read), and right now I'm reading Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë.
I'm in chapter 19 out of 38 presently, so I have more than half left to go. Within the last couple days I've started really "getting into" the story, as happens a lot to me. My thoughts turned to my blog, and the question arose in my mind, should I do for Jane Eyre what I have for the novels of Jane Austen? You know, book review, summary of the movies, other random thoughts, quotes, etc. Because it's nice to be doing things on one's blog that one's readers like to read, I made a poll concerning this question.
Please vote, and of course a comment would be great! =)

Latest Appearance | Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition |
Mario is a heroic plumber who stars as the main character in the popular Nintendo franchise, the Mario series. Mario is known for saving Princess Peach from the Mushroom Kingdom's enemy, Bowser, in many of his games. Mario is also the mascot of Nintendo and has been known as the most famous video game character of all time. For other versions of Mario, see Mario's power-ups.
Mario first appeared in the game Donkey Kong saving his girlfriend Pauline from the clutches of the evil Donkey Kong, and since then has appeared in over 250 games, almost always being a playable main character whose heroic acts prevail over the bad guys. Canonically, he first appeared in the world when a stork carrying him and his brother was attacked by Kamek and he fell onto a Yoshi's back, experiencing his first adventure. He mostly lives in the Mushroom Kingdom, regularly stopping Bowser's evil acts, and rescuing Peach from him after she is kidnapped. He has also ventured to many other worlds and times to save the world from destruction. He is labeled as a plumber but is rarely seen doing his job.
In Mario's current appearance, Mario wears blue overalls with yellow buttons, a plain red shirt, a red hat with a red 'M' on it, brown shoes, and white gloves that look similar to Mickey's. Mario has a round nose, a bumpy dark brown Italian mustache, brown hair, and is also a bit overweight. Mario looks a lot like his brother, Luigi. Mario's clothing changed over the games. His overalls' and shirt's colors were switched around and his have been growing a bit taller or more well-rounded.
While Mario appears to be an ill-defined hero archetype, a closer look reveals the trademark qualities that make him a beloved role model for children.
Mario is adventurous and curious about the world around him. He is well-known for his wide-eyed optimism and cheery good humor. These traits lead him to his frequent acts of resourcefulness and inventiveness, such as swinging a raccoon tail as a lethal bludgeon and travelling through plumbing to skip entire levels; and Mario's love of exploration leads him to victory time and time again.
It should come as no surprise Mario has a strong moral compass. He is brave in the face of danger, doing what he thinks is righteous even in the most treacherous situations. He is tolerant of others, loyal to his many friends, supportive of his brother Luigi, and grudgeless against his enemies. His tolerance extends to new kinds of foods and music, for instance.
Abilities & Power Ups
- Main Article: Mario's Power-Ups
Mario has many abilities throughout his many games. Mario's oldest abilities include his Super Mario power up which makes Mario bigger after he eats a Super Mushroom, Fire Mario which makes Mario able to shoot fireballs after getting a Fire Flower, and Invincible Mario which makes Mario invincible after touching a Starman. He has found several other power-ups over the years, such as the Metal Cap and Flying Cap, Tanooki Leaf, and Ice Flower. He has even ventured into interstellar space and found odd alien powerups like the Bee Mushroom.
He also has many abilities of his own. He can jump amazingly high and fall on top of enemies to crush them, or he can kick and punch them in the 3D games. He can also Spin Jump in many games, harnessing magical power to destroy enemies easier.

Super Mario Bros.: Plumbers Unite
After the events of Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, Mario grows exhausted and settles back at home with his brother. After an unspecified amount of time (during which, the events of the Wario Land series take place), the two brothers are suddenly arrested under the allegations that they failed to stop the Wario Bros. (who were also innocent) from robbing the castle's royal treasury. After a few days in jail, the four plumbers are tasked with collecting every bit of the lost treasure scattered throughout the Mushroom Kingdom. Alongside Luigi, Mario sees robotic duplicates of himself and his four allies heading into the woods, and gives chase. Eventually, he joins forces with the other three plumbers (overcoming the differences within the group in the process) and defeats not only the robotic clones, but the true culprit Bowser as well, thus clearing his name and lessening the tensity of his rivalry with the Wario Bros. In terms of gameplay, Mario's defense is tied with Waluigi's, and he ranks in third place in terms of speed, power, and jump-height. Nonetheless, he still has average stats overall.
Super Mario 64 1/2
Between the events of Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2, Mario was enjoying a large lunch with Luigi, before the two received an invitation to Peach Castle. Upon arriving (and grabbing a Power Star on the doorstep), they are both greeted by a surprise party to celebrate their 40th birthday. However, Mario notices that the cake is spiked with lots of cayenne-pepper passes out (as does his brother). Upon waking up, he finds everyone gone, and realizes that Bowser had conquered the castle while he was out cold. Wasting no time, Mario sets off to reclaim the castle (as well as two other castles) by nabbing Power Stars, rescuing his brother and the three princess in the process. After he seemingly beats Bowser in the end, Mario is suddenly incapacitated, before realizing that the entire adventure was just a dream. Mario can run faster than Luigi, but can't jump as high.

Mario reappears in the third handheld Mario Party game, Mario Party: Country Conquest. Once again, Mario is a default character as usual and is a balanced character. Mario has good stats as all of them are average (3/5). Mario's Perfect Strike is the Grand Fireball. Mario has a major role in the story where a new villain Ceredoom comes and ruins Mario's vacation after defeating Bowser once again. Ceredoom tells Mario that he should come to his lab for an experiment he is working on. All that he needs is Star Shards to power up the Ultima Core. After Mario defeats all the bosses along with his friends in different countries, he gathers all of the shards so he can have enough power to destroy the Mushroom Kingdom and possibly the Mushroom Realm. Mario and his friends managed to stop the evil witch doctor and his plans, and he explodes to pure dust.

The Rage of Bowser
In The Rage of Bowser: A Mario Movie, both Future and 1983 Mario and Luigi are the Dudes/Damsels In Distress. Future Mario and Luigi are leading the victorious battle that would drive King Bowser Koopa and the Koopa Kingdom from the Mushroom Kingdom forever. Bowser finally declares that he has had enough of Mario and Luigi foiling his plans, so he goes back in time to 1983 to kill 1983 Mario and 1983 Luigi before they return to the Mushroom Kingdom in 1985 and save Princess Peach the first time in Super Mario Bros.. It is up to Future Princess Peach to go back in time to 1983, stop Bowser if she can, and save the Mario Bros.
Super Mario and Friends: Zennu Quest
Mario, Luigi, and their friends Yoshi and Pucca took a van to a party at Peach's Castle, but inadvertently went the wrong way when Dark Bowser switched the road signs. At Bowser's castle, they were accidentally sent to Zennu with a rocket. Ob Zennu, Mario and his friends were accused of causing a fire, but Sheen Estevez proved that they were not guilty. From then on, Sheen became Mario's ally.
Lumoshi's Cookies: War
Mario appears as a playable fighter in Lumoshi's Cookies: War.
Mario & Kirby: The Hope of All Realms
Main article: Mario (M&K:THoAR)
Mario is one of the major protagonists in the TV show, Mario & Kirby: The Hope of All Realms. He and Kirby save their respective realm from their respective arch nemesis, Bowser and King Dedede. Mario's basic weapon is the trusty Hammer. In some episodes, he shares his items with Kirby, which are mostly power-ups. Kirby sometimes swallows the power ups and turns into a respective copy ability.
Rosalina's Galaxy Adventure
Not much is known about Mario yet in this game besides the fact that Bowser has kidnapped him.
An amiibo figure of Mario exists! For more info about these amiibo, see this page. |
Mario's relationship with Luigi is one of the most complex in the entire Mario lore, as it ranges from a loving one to one where Luigi is constantly feeling left out. In one particularly strange and uncharacteristic instance, he intentionally steps and squirms on Luigi's foot when Luigi receives a trophy in Mario Power Tennis. In the RPG games, Luigi is characterized as tired of being Player 2", for despite being a hero in his own right, he is often overshadowed by Mario. While Mario has given him proper credit, he seems to have outright lied in the Mario Sports Mix press conference, stating that "Luigi loves being [his] sidekick".
Luigi will often join Mario on his adventures and the two of them are normally paired together in sports titles and spin-offs. They have a distinct yet strong brotherly bond and will stop at nothing to help each other when one is in trouble, as seen in games such as Luigi's Mansion. It is stated in the 1993 official Nintendo Character Manual that Mario, when he retires, plans to give his plumbing business to Luigi.
Yoshi may be Mario's first good friend. As explained in the numerous prequels that makes up the Yoshi's Island series, Yoshi has protected and carried Mario to his parents when the Stork failed to deliver him. In the present day, Yoshi continues to help Mario against Bowser, usually serving as his steed.
Princess Peach
Mario often rescues her from Bowser, who kidnaps her fairly often. The actual relationship between the two is unclear sometimes; some sources state they are in a ongoing relationship or state it is a crush at best. Regardless, Peach has kissed Mario on the cheek on many occasions as well as baking him a cake to celebrate her rescue. In the Smash series, she has a ring on her finger, possibly indicating they are married, although this is merely speculation.

Alarming News: I like Morgan Freeberg. A lot.
American Digest: And I like this from "The Blog That Nobody Reads", because it is -- mostly -- about me. What can I say? I'm on an ego trip today. It won't last.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: We were following a trackback and thinking "hmmm... this is a bloody excellent post!", and then we realized that it was just part III of, well, three...Damn. I wish I'd written those.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: ...I just remembered that I found a new blog a short while ago, House of Eratosthenes, that I really like. I like his common sense approach and his curiosity when it comes to why people believe what they believe rather than just what they believe.
Brutally Honest: Morgan Freeberg is brilliant.
Dr. Melissa Clouthier: Morgan Freeberg at House of Eratosthenes (pftthats a mouthful) honors big boned women in skimpy clothing. The picture there is priceless--keep scrolling down.
Exile in Portales: Via Gerard: Morgan Freeberg, a guy with a lot to say. And he speaks The Truth...and it's fascinating stuff. Worth a read, or three. Or six.
Just Muttering: Two nice pieces at House of Eratosthenes, one about a perhaps unintended effect of the Enron mess, and one on the Gore-y environ-movie.
Mein Blogovault: Make "the Blog that No One Reads" one of your daily reads.
The Virginian: I know this post will offend some people, but the author makes some good points.
Poetic Justice: Cletus! Ah gots a laiv one fer yew...
The Other McCain told me all about it last night, and this morning it's burning up the news wires. Real life continues to play out like a free-of-charge "Palin in 2012" commercial:
In one of those fiendishly stupid examples of liberal logic that will be cited in Econ 201 texts for decades to come — typing is difficult when I'm laughing so hard — "Cash for Clunkers" is broke:
The program…was supposed to expire at the end of October. But in the one week since it took effect, it appears to have run dry of the $1 billion allocated to it…
Lots more at NTCNews.com, including a post from the Cato Institute's Chris Moody, reminding us that Cato senior fellow Alan Reynolds figured out six weeks ago how to game the system: Trade clunker for crappy new econobox, collect fed bonus, sell econobox, add that to your bonus — congratulations, you've got the purchase price for a classic V-8 '67 Impala or a second-hand SUV!
I'm reminded of something P.J. O'Rourke once said, in regard to "affordable housing": Every time the government promises to give you something for nothing, imagine the result if you tried this yourself. You'd quickly find yourself with a severe shortage of something and a whole lot of nothing.
Clever libertarians now hot-rodding around in their '65 Mustangs and '71 Camaros are no doubt very grateful to…the taxpayers who paid the tab.
Two flaws are exposed here, but few people will learn anything from this because these are flaws that have been exposed before.
A crisis creates a news story. A program created to confront the crisis creates another news story. The program inevitably runs into another crisis, which creates yet another news story. The people who make money off of running news stories are supposed to be unbiased and objective with regard to everything, but nobody ever seems to ask them what their thoughts are about crises. We further presume the people who make money running news stories have little or no effect on public policy. And yet — things continue to be done this way. Crisis, program, program, crisis.
Once upon a time I was placed in proximity to a liberal who didn't know he was a liberal. Actually this has happened to me many-a-time. This guy, however, was an interesting case study because he readily 'fessed up, in so many words, that he didn't believe in supply-and-demand. As in, prices go up when more people line up to purchase something, and more people line up to purchase something when the price goes down…pay people to do something you get more of it…tax them on something, you get less of it…he refused to allow such thoughts into his head. Wouldn't even consider them. With regard to progressive income taxes, gas prices, anything.
Needless to say, he and I often failed to find agreement on what would be the wisest course of action with regard to this problem or that problem. And naturally, that was all my fault. I suppose this is to be expected: People who refuse to consider all sides of equations that involve human behavior, are never responsible for anything. Any disagreement anywhere is an unworkable conflict — another crisis — and disagreement is always the result of the other guy not doing the right things.
I don't know if this is lack of knowledge, or a bristling ego, or both. I don't even know if that matters. I suppose it does; we should find out why there are people who think this way, that economic consequences and rewards can be changed, and human behavior will either remain static, or flow along microscopically architected channels toward the goal desired by the bureaucrats, with no unintended consequences possible. So to me, the real story isn't that C4C is going broke, it's that this ignorance persists. I'm assuming it will persist, that this won't be the lesson that will finally provide the education. No other lesson has.
We need to have a national dialogue on that, before we start talking about how you can end up handcuffed and being hauled downtown, right after showing your asshole side to a cop. That ignorance is a far more urgent societal crisis.
Hey…maybe it needs a new program.
Let's see, I'll be having a few, actually many beers this weekend so I'm sure I'll come up with all the answers.
- tim | 07/31/2009 @ 08:01Never let a good crisis go to waste:
- rob | 07/31/2009 @ 11:29"Consumers have spoken with their wallets and they've said they like this program," said Rep. David Obey, D-Wis.
The program requires rescuing and that proves it's a good program.
It's like a slogan Orwell would've written into one of his books:
Crisis, Program; Program, Crisis
- mkfreeberg | 07/31/2009 @ 11:45Clever libertarians now hot-rodding around in their '65 Mustangs and '71 Camaros are no doubt very grateful to…the taxpayers who paid the tab.
I find the very frickin' thought of clue-free individuals abusing the public fisc in this manner to be supremely frickin' offensive. REAL libertarians would buy their Camaros or SUVs with their own g*ddamned money. Rant against the Nanny State and then go out and shovel Nanny's money into the trunk of your Camaro… yeah, THAT makes sense. Fucking hypocrites.
- bpenni | 07/31/2009 @ 12:21That's precisely why libertarianism is inherently powerless.
There's no unified vision of what exactly it is, and there can't be one either.
Conservatism and liberalism also have their problems with identy…but at least those two camps adapt easily to the concept of Omerta. Reagan said the twelfth commandment was "Thou shalt not speak ill of any Republican." And the democrats simply sidestep any deliberation about whether a new agency or program may or may not be in the public interest; if George W. Bush isn't the guy who started it, then away we go. Those are not healthy things, but at least they are lasting, unified visions.
- mkfreeberg | 07/31/2009 @ 12:36…but at least those two camps adapt easily to the concept of Omerta.
BS. Liberals are famous for their circular firing squads (e.g, the Congressional Progressive Caucus' slagging of the Blue Dogs yesterday), and witness our very own internecine squabbling last election season over Fred, Palin, moderates, and true (WTF?) conservatives. Omerta my ass.
Yeah… I AM in a pissy mood today… why do you ask? 😉
- bpenni | 07/31/2009 @ 16:45Ah. Well, when I see a loyal democrat grudgingly concede that Joe Biden might not be a "distinguished elder statesman" after all, then I'll start to doubt Omerta. Meanwhile…

Hillary is an enabler and completely lies about empowering women. How can she stay with a man who has such a total disregard for women? Did Trump indulge in some locker room talk, yes, but that pales in comparison to Hillary's husband and her inaction that actually condones his behavior.
Donald Trump released a video on his Facebook page apologizing, without qualification, for his comments about women from 2005. He also said former President Bill Clinton "actually abused women" and Hillary Clinton "bullied, attacked, shamed, and intimidated his victims."
Trumps statement is as follows:
I've never said I'm a perfect person, nor pretended to be someone that I'm not. I've said and done things I regret, and the words released today on this more than decade old video are one of them.
Anyone who knows me knows these words don't reflect who I am. I said, I was wrong, and I apologize. I've traveled the country, talking about change for America. But my travels have also changed me. I've spent time with grieving mothers who've lost their children, laid off workers whose jobs have gone to other countries, and people from all walks of life who just want a better future.
I have gotten to know the great people of our country and I have been humbled by the faith they've put in me. I pledge to be a better man tomorrow and will never, ever let you down.
Let's be honest, we're living in the real world. This is nothing more than a distraction from the important issues we're facing today. We are losing our jobs, we are less safe than we were 8 years ago, and Washington is totally broken. Hillary Clinton and her kind have run out country into the ground.
I've said some foolish things, but there's a big difference between the words and actions of other people. Bill Clinton has actually abused women, and Hillary has bullied, attacked, shamed, and intimidated his victims. We will discuss this more in the coming days. See you at the debate on Sunday.

They howl. They bark. They growl. And they are fascinating.On June 4, three wild representatives of the Canidae family will find their way to Genesee Country Village & Museum in a brand new program "The Fang Gang" designed to explore the fascinating world of these notable creatures that prowl every continent but Antarctica.
All these visitors—the eastern coyote, red fox and grey wolf—are designed for the chase—lithe bodies and relatively long legs. The grey wolf is the largest of the lot. It sometimes can reach more than six feet head-to-tail.
And they have long been a part of the Native American lore, representing clans and even tribes (Sac and Fox). Onondaga storyteller Perry Ground of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Confederacy will weave traditional Native American stories about these animals.
The presentation will start at 2 p.m. in the museum's Exhibition Hall. Reservations are required.
Cost is $12/$10 members with a Village Combo Pass ($20 per person) that includes admission to the historic village. Tickets are available online.
The animal program is presented by the New York Wildlife Educators Coalition.

Stuart Bolger 1921-2011
Stuart Bolger
Stuart Bolger, 89, director emeritus and architect of the Genesee Country Village & Museum, died Monday, May 9, 2011, at Highland Hospital following a short illness.
Born July 3, 1921 in Elmira, he joined with Genesee Brewing Chairman John L. "Jack" Wehle in 1966 to "design and develop a company museum." When the Genesee Country Village open in 1976, there were 32 buildings on site with 22 open to the public.
Stuart remained with the museum for the rest of his life, assuming the title of director emeritus in later years, continuing to add to the facility's growth. Genesee Country Village & Museum opens its 36th season on May 14 with 68 historic buildings.
A man of great wit and a writer and story-teller par excellence, he never believed his job at the museum was complete. He trolled the back roads of 13 counties for 45 years, looking for the next missing piece to his village, uncovering treasures disguised as chicken coups, storage units or a granary. Many were awaiting the wrecking ball. One--the Livingston-Backus House--was in pieces, gathering dust for 20 years in various warehouses, before Stuart came to its rescue.
And they came. The elegant Hamilton House came in four parts; others were moved whole. Many were dismantled to be reassembled at the Mumford site. Every acquisition was an exciting one.
He coaxed two of his most coveted acquisitions to the historic village in the last decade.The two-story Davis Opera House finally arrived in 2001 from South Butler (Wayne County) followed in 2005 by the charming Greek Revival Tailor Shop from Garbutt, just five miles away. He cut the ceremonial ribbon for the restored Opera House in 2003. Both buildings had been on his wish list for more than 30 years.
A life-long fan of the St. Louis Cardinals (who had a farm team in Elmira when he was growing up), Stuart embraced the museum's 19th-century base ball program from its start in 2001. He regularly appeared at the museum in his own "Rochesters" uniform, or parts thereof.
He served in the Pacific with the Marines from 1942-1946, including the 82-day battle of Okinawa, the largest amphibious assault in the Pacific during World War II. Not long after completing his tour of duty, he broke up an armed holdup in Elmira, which resulted in an extensive write-up in the Elmira press.
Stuart was a 1952 graduate of the University of Rochester with an art history degree. He did post-graduate work in architectural history at Harvard, the Georgia Institute of Technology and the Sorbonne in Paris, where he completed his studies.
He worked for the architectural firm Sargent, Webster, Crenshaw & Foley in Syracuse before becoming director of Historic Bethlehem in 1958. While there, he also wrote an award-winning column on local history for the Bethlehem Globe-Times. He remained there, supervising the restoration of 18th-century Moravian buildings, until he met Jack Wehle.
Stuart served as a trustee of the Landmark Society of Western New York, chair of the Pittsford Architectural Review, vice-president of the Rochester Historical Society and was a member of the RIT Institute of Fellows.
He is survived by his wife Nancy, four children and countless friends at Genesee Country Village & Museum.

- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
RATIONALE: Taking part in a clinical trial may help children with cancer receive more effective treatment.
PURPOSE: Determine why patients who are eligible for protocols made available through the Pediatric Oncology Group do not enroll in them, and develop strategies to increase enrollment on these clinical trials.
Condition | Intervention |
Brain and Central Nervous System Tumors Childhood Germ Cell Tumor Extragonadal Germ Cell Tumor Leukemia Liver Cancer Lymphoma Neuroblastoma Ovarian Cancer Psychosocial Effects of Cancer and Its Treatment Sarcoma Unspecified Childhood Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific |
Procedure: psychosocial assessment and care |
Study Type: | Observational |
Official Title: | Barriers to Patient Enrollment Onto Frontline Therapeutic Clinical Trials and Development of Intervention Strategies to Increase the Proportion of Enrollment |
- Determine why eligible patients are not enrolled on available Pediatric Oncology Group therapeutic clinical trials.
The variables of interest are those factors that affect the decision by the treating physician or patient/parent to refuse enrollment onto study.
Physician responses and patient/parent responses as to reasons for non-enrollment will be compared. Analyses will assess patient demographic factors and institutional characteristics (including the size of the treating institution in terms of the number of patients enrolled on protocols annually). Additionally, reasons for non-enrollment will be assessed with regard to the size of the institution's cancer care program.
Enrollment: | 359 |
Study Start Date: | February 1992 |
Study Completion Date: | September 2005 |
Primary Completion Date: | July 2003 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
Groups/Cohorts | Assigned Interventions |
Stratum 1
Not Enrolled / No IRB Applied
Procedure: psychosocial assessment and care |
Stratum 2
Not Enrolled / IRB Approved
Procedure: psychosocial assessment and care |
Detailed Description:
OBJECTIVES: I. Identify prospectively physician and patient factors associated with reasons why patients who are eligible for Pediatric Oncology Group therapeutic protocols are not enrolled onto such studies. II. Provide information that may be used to develop intervention strategies to decrease barriers to patient enrollment, thus increasing enrollment in therapeutic protocols.
OUTLINE: This is a case-control, multicenter study. Case patients are stratified. Stratum 1 comprises patients for whom there is an appropriate Pediatric Oncology Group (POG) frontline therapeutic protocol that has not yet been submitted to, disapproved by, or approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB). Stratum 2 comprises patients for whom there is an appropriate POG frontline therapeutic protocol that has been approved by the IRB. Physicians complete an IRB submission form for their patients on stratum 1. Patients/parents on stratum 2 who refused enrollment and their primary physicians complete questionnaires that address reasons for nonenrollment. Control patients/parents who consented to enrollment complete questionnaires that address reasons for enrollment. Demographic information, including the size of the treating institution and the annual number of patients enrolled onto its protocols, is collected. Additional demographic information regarding the patient and his or her family is collected.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 595 case patients (12 with soft tissue sarcoma, 34 with osteosarcoma, 19 with brain tumors, 32 with Hodgkin's disease, 60 with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, 278 with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, 65 with acute non-lymphoblastic leukemia, 56 with neuroblastoma, 14 with hepatoblastoma, and 25 with germ cell tumors) will be accrued for this study within 7 years. Corresponding control patients will be accrued for this study.
Ages Eligible for Study: | up to 21 Years (Child, Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS: Case or control patient clinically eligible for a Pediatric Oncology Group (POG) frontline therapeutic protocol, whether or not the protocol was submitted to or approved by the physician's Institutional Review Board Case patients must not have enrolled on the POG frontline protocol due to decision by the physician or patient/parent Control patients must have been enrolled on the POG frontline protocol Ineligible if offered treatment on an in-house therapeutic protocol (institutional review board-approved) rather than the POG protocol
PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS: Age: 21 and under Performance status: Not specified Life expectancy: Not specified Hematopoietic: Not specified Hepatic: Not specified Renal: Not specified
PRIOR CONCURRENT THERAPY: Biologic therapy: Not specified Chemotherapy: Not specified Endocrine therapy: Not specified Radiotherapy: Not specified Surgery: Not specified

I lie here trying to sleep and I can't which normally leads to really REALLY long rambly blogs (I'm sorry?) Tonight is a general update and some shit laying heavy on my heart so I'm going to try to get it all out and see if I can sleep. This, this is my mood right now. *sigh*
The bleeding seems to have stopped or at least slowed to a point that I no longer look like I tried to kill someone with my pelvis every few days. So has, however the weight loss. I'm stuck at 295-297 (depending on when and where I weigh), plateaued, and with my physical issues, not sure how to break it. Normally more activity so I burn more calories, I have some exercises I can do from the bed and I'll try those. (the bed cause if I get on the floor, I'm not getting back up. As I don't keep two large men to pick me up and carry me places (I don't know why not, that seems convenient) we'll start out up here and see if we can't get to a point where the floor's not so scary. I am watching calories, not obsessively but I'm pretty much bedridden right now, because of that fainting/not able to get up thing, so I eat less than the average 1000-800 someone with a modern sedentary life should eat. I'm one step above not moving at all so some fancy math was done and I'm between 600 and 800 calories a day (please don't freak out, yes my drs know, yes other than being low on potassium, I'm fine on this number) I don't want to cut that to 400-700 a day, I think that's headed way too far in the anorexic range. Also Liquid Potassium tastes like crap. I had to drink it. If you've ever tasted pedialyte, imagine that, orange flavor and concentrated. It was NOT GOOD!
For those who don't know, I fainted at the OBGYN. We aren't sure why yet. Though I now know from a whole damn ER room full of people that I don't look 43 and that I hate fainting AND being hooked up to machines for hours. Which, seeing how much time I spend on the computer is sort of ironic. Also that I am anti-sticky and electrodes don't like me unless I DON'T want them on me, then I wake up the next day with 3 stuck in odd spots. One tore off a bit of skin under my left boob which kinda hurts.
I am made up of all the whine right now, can you tell?
In my spare time (cause I have anything else besides Doctor's Office Time and Sleeping for No Reason Time) I've taken to playing Warframe. I play games at my own pace. I /however/ have learned that I am a horrible spy where lasers are concerned and all data will be lost cause I sneezed or something.
I started as this guy: Volt cause who doesn't like zapping EVERYTHING with electricity. I also started out one planet ahead of where I should have. Don't do that, it makes leveling take forever. This is actually Volt Prime, which I do not have (yet) and I grabbed a bow instead of a gun because I wanted to. I feel like that's had me at a disadvantage half the time in groups. He is/was fun, but so far not my favorite. Groups aren't hard to get and like 33 people on my steam f-list play it, so I might be able to get them to play with me.
I moved on from him to Trinity, She's more healing than anything else and I (so far) like her best. I just got her to 30 tonight (which is current max level) AND got her Kubrow (which is a sorta dog with a pig nose pet that fights with you. Mine likes to run off and chomp things, which as I'm mostly heals and energy renewal, is very helpful. This is a screen snap of the ending/starting screen for the quest to get the Kubrow but since that's what my Trinity looks like and aside from being stripy and armor covered also what my pet looks like. Suzy called it a very angry Llama. I named her Juniper, something else Suzy finds hilarious as it's such a nice, sweet name for something that growls and is mostly made of teeth and angry. (she says this relates to my cat being named Patti, which I didn't do, she came with that name, it's not my fault she's a little black cotton ball of death)
I'm working on Saryn now. She does all kinds of nifty toxic attacks that as I'm too tired to concentrate on them tonight, I can only do one of but it's… interesting. She infects the enemies with spores and when they die and the spores pop they infect everyone around them (Hey Resa! I'm a Rakghoul 😛 ) She has 3 other abilities that I've yet to learn, but I'll get there and then I can ocd obsess over getting the others and building them and such.
Mine, does none of this cool shit yet 🙁
The game is far more complex than I gave it credit for. You have to gather resources to build items to have better and different weapons. So it gives it an in depth crafting system which is something I really enjoy. You chase down blueprints, see what resources it needs, chase down the resources, some of which can be very elusive and then you tell the foundry to build it. You can build multiple items at once which is nice but can also put a heavy drain on resources. So back to farming you go. At the moment, I have the blueprint for Dread, a Bow that belongs to an NPC called the Stalker who has, for no good reason mind you, marked my Trinity for death. It need Plastids…400 more… each time I get close to the 900 I need to make it, I forget and make something else and have to go get more. I know there is 'endgame' to it, but each time I progress a bit further, I find more and more to keep me interested.
And I think I'm being lied to. Or was lied to. *sigh*
Doubt was the original title to this post, but I changed it. I've all but stopped Roleplaying in SL and I need to ask a question before I start again. I had forgotten how important both social (with friends) and erotic rp (with my lover) is to me I am scared to ask it. Something is missing right now, something is off and I think I put my finger on it tonight. Now the question is, will asking this person get me a defensive response, and cause him to try to gaslight me into thinking this is all in my head or will the truth come out. I get so less angry when the truth comes out.
Mentally, I'm doing better, sorta freaking at the fact that I'm out of refills on most of my important meds, and the idea of changing my entire medical team except the Therapist and the Shrink. I mean I'm not going to run out like NEXT WEEK (of anything but the sleeping pills, thanks FDA) but that 'no refills left, we'll call your doctor' text sucks when said doctor's office hasn't called you back after 3 messages in two weeks.
Also, I miss singing. I wanna sing again.

A simple thorough pre-sleep file. This goes into detail, includes the Night Night trigger, and one version below has a 60 BPM metronome ticking away as an auditory cue at a specific point and then throughout. Find yourself a free mp3 of a metronome online and listen to it before sleep or in other files, if you want.
Soothing, relaxing language throughout. Ends with an instruction to sleep and therefore you can end there without an awakener.
With metronome - Without metronome -
Update: http://esuccubus.com/content/old-files - you can now get the Old Files in the free releases list. It is basically just a way to download stuff I removed and am in the process of replacing. They're all free. The archive is a bit over 2 GB in size, so expect a lengthy download.
I aim for 15 files a month. I'm doing okay on that track for this month (11 so far with several written and waiting to record), though Christmas threw me off last month.
So far we have as new files released this month:
Perfume Dreams (free) Self Control - Pussy Lip Sink (free) Triggered Cowgirl Transformation Cooperative Trance Safety and Escape (free) Nipple Play Feminine Succubus Seed Common Concepts Induction (free) Common Concepts Deepener (free) Common Concepts (free)
I'm writing a relaxation piece someone commissioned as a custom (for G), and a cuckolding fantasy themed piece (for T). Gonna put the latter in a whole fantasy pack of his and hers for couples.
I am re writing Emptiness, and Release Valve (as soon as a helpful fan gets back to me). When they're done I'm going to put Release Valve, Emptiness, Self Control - Pussy, and an exclusive file into a "Hungry Pussy Pack".
Likewise a new cock-themed arousal and relaxation piece (Self Control - Cock) is going to be bundled up with Your Submissive Cock and the stud files in a discounted "Submissive Cock Pack". So if you're considering buying any or all of those files, maybe wait for me to put the packs out, and save some money. Or wait until they rotate into being free in the future, your call.
Speaking of money, it looks like I haven't even hit the 3000 goal this month, so no files will become newly free. Part of this is lack of customs, I know tons of people have told me they are waiting for me to re-open commissions, which I will do halfway through February when I'll have all the December commissions done and sent out. There really were just an unprecedented number this time, but I am working through them. Also a lot of files were free this month.
Not having hit the 3000 goal, we also won't have a draw next month unless more comes in. But we'll see, since I plan some releases for the next several days.
Note this is not a complaint in any way, I am still doing sufficiently well to keep doing this as my sole job and I have lots of new stuff planned. I hope everyone enjoys, and if you have requests on an area you feel I'm neglecting, never hesitate to email me and keep the erotic material flowing.
Spray some perfume around before listening, for best effect. Choose a favorite scent, or something your lover wears.
This is a somewhat melancholic, somewhat creepy little part of a larger story. The original perfume dreams was more sexual, but I feel this is quite good for what it is and the effect it evokes. Please let me know. It is short and bittersweet in its own way. The rest of the story will come when I have time to commit it.
Pick a favorite color of lipstick before listening. This piece discusses the image of feminine lips, in glossy lipstick, providing positive reinforcement to allow things which block your descent into relaxation to fade away. Overall positive and arousing, lipstick and lip fetish stressed, has deepening elements at start. About 20 minutes long.
All links should work and if any don't please let me know by email. A reminder, I post all new files on my tumblr and twitter - so you can be updated by following on either of those if you have them and you want to.
I am experimenting with new formats and doodads for the site, if you have any idea for what you'd like to see, or for an ease of use change to the site, let me know. The first change is the Tag Cloud I just put there, though I think I might move it to the top of its own Catalog page, and then put a random assortment of items from among premium and free files below it, with options to go look at lists if you want to.
The other thing I need to do is go tag files extensively to make the tag cloud more useful, so if you have recommendations for tags for files, let me know!
Lipsink and Mirabelle are coming nicely, as is a couples custom, I will finish all three today and progress to some CoC material writing tomorrow.
I'm also working on a collection of mind control themed erotic stories to put together in a pdf, I'll have samples up and I might ask people to proofread it and give me feedback before I put it up, but I've managed to put together some sexy stuff, and I hope people like it when I put it out there.
As always, don't hesitate to email me. I don't get many emails and it is nice to get feedback.
This is a variant on the old Nipple Play file. It uses the trigger from Night Night, and also some of the triggers from the Common Concepts pack.
It uses more open language, and has a lengthy deepener at the beginning - and no awakener, so you can chain it as you please, unlike the original where people often had to edit out the awakener I weirdly inserted for some reason.. Made for all body types - simply lead in with your favorite induction (the Common Concepts Induction works nicely) - and then relax.
Themes of addiction to playing with one's nipples, increased sensitivity, and fixation, predominate throughout. Along with submission to whoever controls or pinches your nipples, the meditation being on the idea of being led around by them. Enjoy!
Those who support the site on Patreon may choose one reward file to receive for every $10 pledged. Backers who pledge $15 or more also receive every single one of the Backer Only files to date. Rewards are delivered on the 10th of the following month.
This is part of a series of feminization files. The theme is that the listener is implanted with a succubus who feeds on stereotypically masculine energy, conditioning the subject toward femininity as a way of securing its "food" source. Original body parts/mindset aren't much mentioned, though there is a suggestion of the succubus popping up in other feminization files or in situations outside the file itself. Mild continued feminization conditioning, and suggestions of feminine form/clothing are included. Enjoy!
These files can be placed in a row in your playlist and will flow together. The files themselves do not reference the starting body of the listener, so while they center around a horny vagina and pointed nipples, the files can be listened to by anyone interested in the stereotypically feminine presentation described in them.
- File Length: 21 Minutes
Playlist order:
This is it, the beginning of a journey into edging, ruining, latex addiction, and supportive mental succubi. This is an improved version of the Lightside Latex Succubus. You listen to this file first, then you can listen to the various advanced lessons and darkside files interchangably, once these seeds are planted This version has been changed so you can use it after the Latex Bath Induction Advanced. It begins with you waking from darkness and ends with the Night Night trigger. There is a lot of new material and phrasing improvement.
A symbiotic succubus dwells in the listener, two sides - light and dark, supportive and sexual. Existing in balance, empowering the listener and then driving them onward into edging, ruined orgasm, rubber addiction, a general latex fetish in fact. Mild amnesia elements, desire to return, guided masturbation, light teasing. The Darkside Latex Succubus Advanced file relies on the concepts established in this file. Post-file suggestion of arousal and return is included. This file is loopable and interchangeable with the 2 Advanced Latex Succubus files, and the Advanced Lightside file. You can sandwich any number of them between the Advanced Induction and your awakener of choice.
This file incorporates the idea of a helpful latex succubus rewarding the listener with orgasms for achieved tasks while training them in tandem with the dark succubus.
The original version of this file can be found in the Dual Latex Succubus pack which also includes the exclusive refresher and the original Latex Succubus Deepener.
This simple, nine minute long induction encourages the listener to place a nearby object in their mouth and begin to suck, at the midway point. This sucking is used as an explanation for increasing depth and mindlessness as thoughts are sucked out in return. Gags, sex toys, one's fingers, a lover's breast, anything you'd like so long as it doesn't mind being in your mouth and blankly suckled for the duration of your playlist. Could look very sexy to an onlooker and possibly have other benefits, I leave it up to you. This is an induction, so this is where the trance begins, great for anything cock or breast suckling centric, of course.
Exploratory amnesia-tinged sexual fantasy that slips away and yet invades the mind. The listener finds themselves at a dominant figure's mercy in a verdant garden for a short but sweet indulgence in giving oral pleasure. First, be blank, then, be pleasured, then, try to retain the memory.
The listener is rendered blank via the Be Blank trigger from Brain Drain. The best induction for this file is probably Listen, Focus, Unfocus. The file then walks them through a suggestive erotic fantasy using indirect suggestion and training of the brain for very specific fetishes (oral service to women, though unseen in the file itself). The file ends with a very potent amnesia suggestion that induces a yearning in the now-awakened listener to know the details of their experience, and then intensifies the desire to re-listen again and again, losing grasp each time.

For some in the the Vassar College community, it was a teachable moment they hope was a spark for further discussions about gay rights and acceptance.
Four members of the Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kan., came to the Town of Poughkeepsie on Thursday to protest Vassar College's support of the lesbian, bisexual, gay and transsexual community. They were met by hundreds of Vassar College students, faculty and other community members in support for gay rights.
Vassar's action included Pastor Joseph Tolton, whom GLAAD has lifted up before.

Senate passes extension of deadline for naturalization
SD. The Senate passed into law the proposal which extends for 90 days the deadline foreseen for the processes related to the special regime of naturalization, established by Law 0169 – 14, for persons born in the Dominican territory who were irregularly registered in the Civil Registry.
The deadline, which originally ended last Tuesday, 28 October, will now be next 28 January.
The legislation was approved in two consecutive readings, after being declared urgent. In the first reading it received the favorable vote of 13 to 17 Senators who were present, and in the second reading it was passed by 17 of the 18 Senators present.
Senator Dionis Sanchez (Pedernales) issued a negative vote.
"The desire is to maintain the faucet open," he said that he thought that this extension will permit the entry of hundreds of Haitians citizens across an "unprotected frontier."
Last Tuesday, the day of the deadline, the proposal by the Executive was approved by the Chamber of Deputies in a unanimous vote. As of that day some 3013 requests for normalization had been presented.
A resolution against the IAC HR
In the session of the upper chamber yesterday afternoon the Senate is also approved with one reading a resolution whi ch rejects the sentence of the Inter American Court of Human Rights (IAC HR) against the country for alleged "summary expulsions" of Haitian and Dominicans citizens. The initiative received the unanimous vote of the Senators.

Daily Dish: Lindsay Lohan is Not in a Psych Ward
The actress takes to her Twitter account to dismiss a curious rumor
-Carolyn French
What a thing to wake up to huh? Lindsay Lohan surely didn't need her daily Red Bull fix this morning, as the news that she was allegedly holed up in a mental institution got her blood pumping all on its own.
La Lohan, 23, has visited various rehab facilities and emergency rooms, but never has she entered a loony bin.
"Hahahaha my publicist just called me & said she heard I was in a psych ward!!!! Hahaha WHAT IS WRONG with people???? I'm working lol," Lindsay tweeted on Thursday.
"BUT that's one I've NEVER heard about myself before!" she added. "New ones r always interesting huh? There's SO much more going on in the world! Wake up."
The actress' spokesperson told People that her client is hard at work filming the thriller Machete in Texas, alongside Jessica Alba and Robert DeNiro. Plus, Lindsay has signed on to be an "artistic advisor" to Ungaro, so where the heck did this little rumor come from? (People)
