Do you ever sit and wonder about all the Shoulda Coulda Woulda's?
I shoulda Finished School
I Coulda been a nurse
I would be working like a mad woman, and wouldn't be able to spend all this wonderful time with my kids. There are only little for a short time.
So my Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda's end right there.
I Love being a Mom even on days like today. When they decide to turn my pit stick into a soupy mess. So now I'm being forced to use my husbands.
I shoulda picked up new pit stick on Friday. I wouldn't have had to spend my weekend smelling like my husband.
I shoulda let the big kids make fun of Chloe when she had the flu. I know this sounds bad, but after spending all of Sunday and Monday smelling like my husband, trying to clean up after my two sick big kids who are now sick with the flu. Trying to tell my two year old to stop making fun of the big kids when they are getting sick. There were a few times that I really thought that Chloe was sick. Maybe it's time to sign her up for Acting Classes? Either way this really wasn't my idea of a great weekend or the start to my week.
I shoulda washed some clothes yesterday. Now I'm going to be forced to wear my ugly sweats and some random shirt and pray that I wont need to leave the house.
Oh the Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda's of life!
Until Next Time,
Just MOM

This week we are featuring another large aquarium. Large enough to house a Vlamingii Tang (out of 1,500+ AquaticLog aquariums there are only two that have it).
So, without further ado here let's take a look at Phil Brisson's 370 gallon, 72x24x30 aquarium packed with quite an impressive collection of rare and large marine fish.
The tank is lit by three EcoTech Radion G2 light fixtures and is using an EcoTech's MP60 for water circulation. Make sure to check out aquarium's photos and videos (it not every day you get to see so many large and rare fish).
Here are a few words from Phil himself:
"Wow! my tank has been chosen TOFW? thank you so much guys! A lot of time and money has been invested in that project!
It all started 3 years ago. I had a 29g biocube before and jumped to a 220g right away. I made a lot of mistakes but I've learned a lot from them.
And now I'm the one helping others out with my group called Aylmer Salty's.
Whats so special about my tank is I got a lot of "hey what is that fish doing in there?" or "you really have a Moorish idol for that long?" or "what? 2 angels and they behave themselves?"
Everything is doing well, my tank is in cruise control. I'm loving it!
My future goals is to put my tank through ecomode. I wanna save as much energy as possible. Not sure when but it will happen
Anyways, Thank you Aquaticlog for this great site. It helps me a lot to remember everything I have to do, haha! Thank you guys!"
As Phil points out in his personal message he is running an online community called Aylmer Salty's trying to help others succeed in this remarkable hobby.
Congratulations, Phil, for having such a spectacular success in this hobby and for helping others get better at it.

ICE has been training the industry's top professionals for over 35 years, so it should come as no surprise that our graduates are in every nook and cranny of the food and hospitality field! It's striking to see, in the past month, just a sliver of what our graduates—both newly minted, as well as seasoned alumni—are up to.
Many established chefs have been taking the food world by storm as they continue to build their restaurant empires or attract national press attention to their restaurants. For starters, Marc Murphy (Culinary '90), Chopped judge and chef/owner of several restaurants, including Landmarc Tribeca, Landmarc Time Warner, and Ditch Plains, just added Kingside to his growing restaurant group. Located in the new Viceroy New York Hotel, Marc, in partnership with the Gerber Group, is bringing his signature downtown cuisine to midtown.
Meanwhile Miguel Trinidad (Culinary '07), Executive Chef of both Maharlika and Jeepney (which garnered a Time Out New York Award for "Best Seafood dish of 2013") has added Golden Cadillac, a new cocktail-focused lounge, to the collection of restaurant menus he oversees. Diverging from the modern Filipino cuisine for which he's received critical acclaim, Golden Cadillac's menu inspiration comes from vintage Gourmet magazine dishes from the 1970's.
This fall, the food press was flooded with ICE alumni mentions. Ann Redding (Culinary '02), co-chef/owner of the buzz-worthy new restaurant Uncle Boon's, snagged a Time Out New York "Top 10 Dishes & Drinks in NYC" distinction for the restaurant's khao soi kaa kai dish, and was also given a shout-out in the "Best Asian" category. Over on the West Coast, Seattle chef Rachel Yang's restaurant Joule, was selected by Bon Appetit, as one of the "10 Best New Restaurants of 2013." And front-of-house professionals were not left out either. Juliette Pope (Culinary '94), Beverage Director of Gramercy Tavern, was lauded by The New York Times for her wine program, naming it one of the "12 Best Restaurants in NYC for Wine."
Each ICE graduate defines her or her own success. For some, this past month brought the realization of long-held plans to open their first business. Scott Edwards (Culinary '04), whose resume includes time at Veritas, Oceana, and 3-Michelin star Oud Sluis in the Netherlands, is now Chef and Co-owner of Open Kitchen Events, a catering business based in NYC. On the sweet side of things, Treva Chadwell (Culinary '08), launched BeeHive Oven, shipping the company's addictive buttermilk and pumpkin biscuits nationwide.
Exciting ICE alumni news wasn't limited to the restaurant set—this month also marked the release of two grads' new cookbooks. Sarah Copeland (Culinary '02), Food Director of Real Simple magazine, published her latest cookbook, Feast: Generous Vegetarian Meals for Any Eater and Every Appetite. Rick Mast (Management '06), along with his brother/partner, Michael, are out with their first book, Mast Brothers Chocolate: A Family Cookbook. As owners of Mast Brothers Chocolate, their artisan bean-to-bar company supplies their carefully sourced chocolates to chefs such as Thomas Keller, Daniel Humm, Alice Waters, and Alain Ducasse, as well as chocolate connoisseurs around the world.
And lest we forget our Hospitality Management alumni, the most recent graduating class of 2013 has landed in a range of exciting new careers. Jeremy Shikhman (Hospitality '13) was hired out of his externship at Club Med's Sandpiper resort in Florida. He began as an Assistant Restaurant General Manager and is now moving into reception. Victoria Schaetzle (Hospitality '13) is now general manager of Picnic, a new restaurant featuring contemporary takes on American classics in the East Village. Carol Arciniegas has been hired by Great Performances as venue manager for its Sotheby's event space. And finally, Valarie Beckford was hired out of her externship at The New York Palace Hotel as a Catering, Meetings & Events Coordinator after the luxury property completed its $140 million renovation.
Congratulations to all our graduates from throughout the decades, as they realize their culinary dreams and career aspirations! We can't wait to see the successes that next month will bring…

The financial market is built on the following basis.
- Individuals in primary occupations minimize current consumption to build up savings.
- Stock of savings is made available to fund user (Corporations and governments) at the current price of money i.e. interest rate, subject to government interference.
- In the formal sector, savers and users of funds do not meet directly – they operate through financial intermediaries such as: Banks/deposit intermediaries, stockbrokers/investment intermediary and insurer/risk management intermediary.
- Financial intermediaries issue financial instruments/claims to savers (Financial assets) and users (Financial liabilities) in exchange for the funds received/or disbursed, respectively.
Financial market is classified into two broad segments based on tenor of the financial instruments issued.
The first one is the Money Market: This is the market for short term financial instruments, usually with 1-12 months tenor. The instruments are: Fixed deposits, treasury bills, commercial paper, banker's Acceptance, etc. the attributes of this near money instruments are: Low risk, low return and High liquidity, and the institutions that offer these instruments are:
- Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)
- Commercial/Merchant Banks
- Discount Houses.
The second one is the Capital Market: This is the market for long term financial instruments, with over 12 month's tenor. The instruments are: Equity, Bonds and Derivatives. The institutions that offer these instruments are:
- Security and Exchange Commission, (SEC)
- Nigeria Stock Exchange (NSE)
- Stock brokers/issuing Houses.
It is important to note that core capital market instruments are "typically creations of corporations in the process of corporate financing (i.e. capitalization) and the governments (Federal, state or local governments) in the financing or re-financing of development, public debt and policy management.
As a matter of rules and procedures, the stock market features a number of registered market operators and consultants in both the primary and secondary market segments.
Investment and securities act, 1999 section 29 requires all capital market operators and such other intermediaries associated with securities industries to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission and conduct all security transactions in accordance with the conditions of the certificate of registration obtained from the commission.
The Securities and Exchange Commission is the regulatory apex organization for the
Nigerian capital market, just as the Central Bank of Nigeria regulates the money market. It was established by the investment and securities Act, 1999 to regulate investment and securities business in Nigeria.
The Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) provide secondary markets for securities (Le ordinary shares, corporate or government bonds) issued by companies and governments in the process of raising funds from the primary segment of the capital market. It is Self Regulatory Organization (SRO) and provides trading floors for registered stockbrokers and dealing members of the stock exchange trading in registered/listed securities of quoted companies or government according to the Rules and Regulations of the Stock Exchange.
Manipulations, insider trading, money laundering and other securities industry malpractices are strictly prohibited on the stock exchange.
Stockbrokers are the principal intermediaries, especially in the secondary market segment. In this capacity, a broker is an agent of the principal and he is paid commission for his services.
Loans: To get a loan for start-up capital means that someone lends you money. You have to pay interest on the loan and you have to pay the loan back either in installments or all at once, depending on what agreement you make with the lending institution.
When you borrow money for start-up capital there will be more pressure on your business than if you use owner's equity. On set date you must pay interest and installments on the loan. The more you borrow, the more you have to pay in interest and installments. This will always be difficult for a new business and it is normally better to borrow as little money as possible to start your business.
Most lending institutions have two major requirements when you apply for a loan:
(i) A well thought out and clear feasibility study with a business idea make the lending institutions believes in it. An unclear feasibility study will make a bad impression and make it difficult for the lending institutions to form an opinion about your business idea.
The lending institution should believe in your business idea before it gives you a loan because the interest payments and the repayment of the loan will come from the profits that your business makes. Without a profit your business will not be able to pay interest or to repay the loan.
(ii) The lending institution will probably also need some kinds of collateral for your loan. Collateral means the security that the lending institution has for the repayment of your loan. If you cannot repay the loan, the lending institution has the right to take possession of the collateral instead.
The reason why the lending institution needs collateral is that if your business fails and there is no money to repay the loan, the collateral can be sold by the bank to cover the loan.
Business investment funding is generalized either through provisions, retained profits borrowing or through sale of equity. A business needs capital investment to create productive capacity. (i.e.) innovative technology, modernization, and the expansion of its productive assets.
Most of the capital goods, commercial and social services as well as technological know how required to satisfy our needs come from business activity, i.e. through economic development of privately owned resources which started from savings.
Finally, there is one economic goal that is not limited to the boundaries of the country, but spread across other countries. This is the international balance of trade. We want to maintain a strong and balance relationship in foreign trade and international payments.
Failure to achieve this not only causes serious economic problems at home and abroad, but also increases international tensions threaten world peace.

Now before faith came, we were imprisoned and guarded under the law until faith would be revealed. Therefore the law was our disciplinarian until Christ came, so that we might be justified by faith. But now that faith has come, we are no longer subject to a disciplinarian, for in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith. As many of you as were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus. And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to the promise.
My point is this: heirs, as long as they are minors, are no better than slaves, though they are the owners of all the property; but they remain under guardians and trustees until the date set by the father. So with us; while we were minors, we were enslaved to the elemental spirits of the world. But when the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, in order to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as children. And because you are children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!" So you are no longer a slave but a child, and if a child then also an heir, through God. Galatians 3:23–4:7 (NRSV)
With Christmas Eve on the doorstep it's hard to stay in Advent until the sun goes down and we can finally say it is Christmas Eve and not just "Christmas Eve Day" or, more correctly, the last day of Advent. It's too easy to think ahead to the cute little cherub choirs singing or the bells, smells and full-out organ accompaniment to hymns and carols everybody has sung for years and which officially ring in not only the day of Christmas, Christ's nativity celebration, but the entire twelve-day season of Christmas. Stores don't recognize the season of Christmas; Christmas stuff is almost all down and Valentine's Day stuff is going up starting about 8:01PM on Christmas Eve.
I admit I think ahead as well; it's hard not to, most of the time. But when I read the section of Paul's epistle, something pops out at me and gives me pause: But when the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, in order to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as children (4:4-5). God sent Jesus to be born as a human being, subject to the rules and regulations human beings were supposed to observe and still redeem (buy back, recover ownership, pay off) the world for God. That's a big order to lay on someone who was born as naked and helpless as any other newborn baby.
The part that especially struck me was "that we might receive adoption as children." Adoption is like grafting, taking something or someone from one place and placing it somewhere else where else. Adoption in Paul's time and our own is a slightly different thing. In the Mediterranean world of Paul's time, not only children but adults could be adopted. The usual reason now for adoption is to provide for the welfare and nurturing of the child while ancient adoption was generally to provide heirs for an estate and/or care for the parents in their old age. Still and all, the result was basically the same: the person which once belonged to one family suddenly had no allegiance to the family of origin but became one who was totally and legally a part of a new family with all the rights (and responsibilities) that membership in that family might entail.
Joseph knew about adoption. He knew that Mary's boy was not his own child, yet he accepted Jesus as his own son and acted as his father in all the ways that counted. We hear some of that in readings that have this particular Joseph in them, but here is Paul speaking to the community at Galatia, assuring them that through this same baby who was born to human parents and was also the Son of God, all of them were considered not just add-ons to the family but full members with the rights and, more importantly, the responsibilities of that heritage.
Like Joseph, I know about adoption, only from the other side. Being adopted sometimes marks one as "different," like when the child has blond hair and all the others in the family have dark. Very probably Jesus didn't look much different than any other child of that time and place, which might have been a plus. Yet in the great family of God, the family Jesus brings together regardless of their families or tribes of origin, it isn't the outward appearance or cultural status that marks a person as one who belongs or the one who is grafted, it is the desire and the sincere attempt to live as one of God's true children.
It's funny -- Christmas cherubs are being replaced by Valentine cherubs, yet they are still cherubs. Both have chubby-baby bodies and fluffy wings and they both celebrate love. I wonder which are the adopted ones?

The Name
I postponed starting this blog longer than I should have and it was mainly because I couldn't decide on a name. I'd ask the family multiple times a day, "did you think of anything yet?" and I finally realized I was going to have to close my eyes and point my finger. There were a couple of names I tossed around, such as: Knottareal Farm, Remedy Acres, Hobby Homestead, The Pine Knob, just to name a few. There was one thing that kept circling around to me though, it was the amount of fluttering insects that inhabit our back yard. Moths, birds, bats, butterflies, bees, gollywhoppers, and of course a plethora of dragonflies. My favorite place to be is at the clothesline, and for as peaceful as it is out there, I always have quiet company. So I just had to go with "Flutterbee" for the farm name.


text: Has anyone strung La Bella 760N nylon tapewound strings on a Carvin XB76P bass? I'm concerned about the strings lengths. La Bella offers a "Extra Long" version of the 760N. Do I need to get those or will the regular set fit? I need length dimensions from the ball end to the start of the silk for each string. In particular, the high C and low B are a concern, since the tuning pegs for these are closest to the nut. The strings have to be long enough so that the silk clears the nut, but not too long so that I don't run out of silk when winding the strings to the tuning peg (avoid widing the wound part of the string to prevent possible breakage). As I measure it, the string has to be at least 37" from ball to silk to clear the nut on a XB (35.25" from bridge to nut, plus 1.75" from ball to bridge). The string can't be more than 39" from ball to silk in order to not run out of silk on the tuning peg for the high C or low B. Any and all info would be greatly appreciated.

One of the most important aspects of managing a Web site is previewing pages before they go online and become visible to outsiders. Previewing gives you a chance to verify that your pages look and behave the way you want them to—that your images all appear in their entirety, your hyperlinks take visitors where you want them to go, and so on. FrontPage not only makes it easy to preview pages in different browsers, but also enables you to quickly choose a specific browser window size, which is essential, if you want to make sure large images, tables, or frames-based pages appear the way you want them to at various sizes.
FrontPage gives you two ways to preview pages. The first way (a quicker option than previewing in a browser, which is described below) is to click the Preview button beneath the page editing view. This allows you to preview the page as it would appear in a Web browser, but still remain in FrontPage. Use Preview view when you're in the process of working on the page, and you want to check it quickly before making changes.

"It seems to me that to organize on the basis of feeding people or righting social injustice and all that is very valuable. But to rally people around the idea of modernism, modernity, or something is simply silly. I mean, I don't know what kind of a cause that is, to be up to date. I think it ultimately leads to fashion and snobbery and I'm against it." Jack Levine: January 3, 1915 – November 8, 2010

Blow Up The Mythical Senate Traditions Over The Lying Gorsuch
Also against my better judgment I listened to a bit of NRP yesterday and heard Nina Totenberg - former court reporter, present day Cokie Roberts imitator - describe him as looking " like a Supreme Court Justice" a tall, stately patrician, white male, grown up in privilege, given an elite Ivy League education, member of what I've read is a pretty vile fraternity, even by privileged, white-boy, Ivy League standards. He is a Washington DC Insider - Federalist fascist, American Enterprise Institute fascist dream boy.
All of that is worth blowing up the myth of the power of the Senate Democratic minority over, it's worth giving up the myth that Democrats in the minority have the power to filibuster his nomination over. That same myth that seems to, when Democrats are in the majority, always disable Democrats and empower Republicans in the minority. The Senate is screwed up to start with, its rules and traditions are obviously a fraud that are to be gamed to make the worst of the facists win.
Gorsuch is a purjurer as were Alito, Robert, Thomas and other Republican nominees who went on the court and ruled exactly as everyone who heard their lies knew they would. So will Gorsuch. He is a totally known quantity, he is not going to turn into a Warren or a Souter, rare examples of Republicans who, sometimes and not always wisely, didn't meet Republican expectations.
2 comments:
Gorsuch is getting on the bench, of that I'm sure. But it would be worth it to force the GOP to blow up the filibuster over him, and then face those consequences the next time they are the minority.ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes, he'll get on because Republicans want someone like him on the court and I think the only thing to do with that fact is to make them pay as big a price as possible.Delete
I think this should be used to point out how discreditable the court is under Roberts as it was under Rehnquist. I'm all in favor of taking them down off of the pedestal and seeing them as the political players mostly bent on propping up privilege the court has always been.
Democrats in the Senate have been a big part of the problem, I'm hoping there are enough of them who have had it with that "traditions of the Senate" crap, which has enabled the worst of the worst since before the minority kept them from passing anti-lynching laws.

I began this election year making my choice for president very obvious. I debated for him, I fought for him, and then I realized how much I hated arguing with friends and loved ones about an opinion we are all entitled to.
After a few months of this, I decided to keep my vote private. There were a few who knew, many who know me well enough to figure it out, but for the most part...many didn't know, and wouldn't know until I decided to share. I voted last week, after doing my homework. I looked at every issue, watched every debate, listened to many opposing opinions...heck, I even took more then second look at the other candidate. I dug deep inside of myself and thought about what was important to me...what was important for my family...for our country.
So today...ELECTION DAY 2008...I decided to come out with it. I've chosen Barack Obama for President of the United States. What I still intend to keep private are the reasons for my vote, but I will say this...I think it takes realizing that one human being can't save this fallen world...one human being can't bring world peace...one human being can't save the human race from ruining ourselves. But what one human being can do is make a difference, if even a small one...perhaps not in every issue I believe in, but then again, I don't believe its the president's responsibility to do much of what our community thinks he should.
I would be naive to vote with the expectation that whoever does become president will magically make everything right. But I do believe in taking a risk...taking a chance for change...and I believe that while McCain might be right for some, Obama is right for me. Right for me, right now.
While I respect your opinions, I'd rather not hear what you think about my vote. If you'd like to share yours, please feel free. I'm keeping the peace this election year...something I'm not normally accustomed to.
With all of this said...no matter who you choose, for whatever reasons you might choose...vote. Vote for whomever you like...but vote.
happy election day.

The Flash game:
- Ascended Meme: Pandemic 2.5 has three difficulty levels: Casual, Normal, and Madagascar.
- Crosses the Line Twice
- Crowning Moment of Awesome: Let's face it, getting that bastard known as Madagascar infected will almost certainly qualify as your own personal moment of this.
- "Funny Aneurysm" Moment: The untouchable Madagascar is at risk of a bubonic plague epidemic after it started cropping up in prisons.
- Game-Breaker: Mimicking the flu symptoms minus everything dangerous means that your disease will spread everywhere, including to Madagascar early on, giving you plenty of points to spend on fun things like heart failure. Giving your disease moisture I and heat I also helps a lot with infecting Madagascar.
- Harsher in Hindsight: Every once in a while, countries will be hit by natural disasters and other issues, some of which have happened in Real Life (such as "New Zealand gets hit by earthquake").
- The game as a whole could be considered Harsher now that there is an Ebola outbreak spreading around Africa and potentially to other countries throughout the world.
- Hilarious in Hindsight: Madagascar really did SHUT DOWN EVERYTHING after the "zombie incident" in Florida where a man got high on bath salts and tried to eat a homeless man's face.
- Memetic Badass: Thanks to this game, Madagascar will always be remembered as the sole area in the world that no epidemic can touch.
- Memetic Mutation: "President Madagascar, a man has coughed in Brazil!" "SHUT. DOWN. EVERYTHING.""
- Nightmare Fuel: Imagine a disease like the ones you craft here occurring in real life. Sweet dreams! Seeing the world going to shit in the game and imagining that happening in Real Life also counts.
- Paranoia Fuel: Just reading some of the symptoms can make you start to believe you may have contracted your own (fictional) disease.
- Surprisingly Improved Sequel: Although it's by no means bad, the original game pales in comparison to the second.
- That One Region:
- Madagascar and Peru, the only two areas in the game with only one way to infect them.
- Western Europe was the original Pandemic's Madagascar. It had no airports or water sources. If you didn't hit it quickly, it would become the last bastion of civilization. Even worse, starting in Central Europe doesn't even assure you'll get it.
- The Woobie: Even some of the most sadistic disease-makers can feel sorry for the one ship that hopelessly sails around the world, looking for a non-existent open port.
The board game
- Broken Base: Which edition has the better artwork? Some prefer the more realistic and painterly style of the first edition, while others like the higher budget TV show-esque artwork of the second. The fact that On The Brink was the only expansion to be done in the style of the first, and all future expansions are done exclusively in the second has broken the base further.
- HSQ: Legacy's first twist is that one of the diseases is incurable, and the game only gets crazier from there.
- Most Wonderful Sound: Winning the iOS adaptation transforms the classic map into a globe's normal blue-green colors, with soft, victorious music playing.
- Scrappy Mechanic: The roles are supposed to be randomly allocated, but this is a controversial rule given that some roles are more valued than others. This isn't so bad in the base game where there are only 7 roles and you are going get at least one or two you can build a strategy around, but as the expansions increase the number of roles to 20+, players are more likely to end up with a team that struggles to synergise well. The most common kind of House Rules are those that allow the players to select their roles directly, or at least give them a greater degree of control over what role they are assigned. Cthulhu has the mechanic of players choosing one of two roles handed to them.
Both games
- Spiritual Antithesis: The board game and the flash games are this to each other. The board game sees you take on the role of the brave team who tries to save the world from 4 different diseases. The flash games see you take the role of a virus aiming to wipe out the world by plague.

Redcentric acquisition spurs growth
Redcentric has completed the integration of InTechnology and revealed growth in its managed services business
Redcentric has completed the integration of InTechnology Managed Services to create one of the largest IT managed service operations in the UK with an estimated annual turnover north of £90m.
Emerging revenue opportunities for the channel with digital transformation
Digital transformation is a phrase that means many things to many people but for it to have any real relevance to the channel then it needs to mean a chance to make money. This guide will share some of the recent developments in the channel and the latest thoughts about the issue.
By submitting your personal information, you agree that TechTarget and its partners may contact you regarding relevant content, products and special offers.
You also agree that your personal information may be transferred and processed in the United States, and that you have read and agree to the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy.
The acquisition of InTechnology late last year in a £65m deal was designed to bolster Redcentric's managed services. The outcome on the ground is a sprawling data centre operation with a significant cloud platform and greater technical support skills.
Redcentric says the integration of the two businesses has already paved the way for a number of new contracts including The Salvation Amy, The Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC) and several wins via the government's G-Cloud framework. It claims one of the latter with an NHS partner is valued at over £5m.
It also claims the acquisition has strengthened its position as a public sector provider when the HSCIC named it as one of only two private sector commercial aggregators with authority to connect third party organisations to N3 – the internal NHS network.
Tony Weaver, chief executive, Redcentric said: "We are now well positioned to offer both existing and new customers the benefits of a wider managed services portfolio of industry-leading technologies and superior levels of support. This has been reflected in the new business success we have recently enjoyed which is supported by a strong sales pipeline for the future."
Redcentric's core business was previously focused on services include infrastructure, networks, mobile, security, applications and collaboration tools delivered on-premise, as a managed service or via the cloud. However, since the acquisition Redcentic has lost little time in combining voice, data, applications, networking and hosting solutions in order to ramp up its cloud services via a network of five data centres.
The company now has over 450 staff and over 2,000 commercial and public sector customers across healthcare, education, retail, hospitality, manufacturing, financial and professional services.

Also, funnily enough there's a guy in my PolySci course named tristan who is also tall, blonde, and good-looking. quiet though. >_>; was totally cold to me. Idon'tlikecoldguysilikewhiteprinces.
But had to let you know.
How tall are Tristan and Adeline anyways?
Haha, white princes :)ReplyDelete
Hmm, tall enough. Haha, I can't give you exact numbers because I haven't really thought of these stats before but I believe I've always thought of Tristan as average tallness - not short but not towering like one of those giant basketball players - and Adeline is taller than Sammy, but probably reaches Tristan's ears or so.

The Global e-Book Market Valued at $14.5 Billion
Bookeen Cybook Muse with Frontlight Review
Bookeen has just released a new e-reader that seemingly came out of nowhere, with no fanfare or advance hype. The Cybook Muse with Frontlight gives users the ability to read eBooks in many different formats and read in the dark. It allows you turn pages with both the touchscreen and manual buttons. Is this e-reader a valid investment?
The Cybook Muse has a 6 inch screen allowing for easy reading in all conditions, while reducing the size of the e-reader by 17% in comparison to its predecessor, the Cybook Odyssey. The resolution is 1024 x 758, and has 213 DPI, which is fairly conventional.
Underneath the hood is a 800 MHZ Freescale processor and 4 GB of internal storage. It does have support for an MicroSD card, so you can simply insert one in to store thousands of additional titles. Speaking of eBooks, there is a built in store loaded on the two e-readers, with over 100,000 books. You need to register an account with Bookeen and another one with Adobe.
The Cybook Ocean has the physical page turn keys flush with the bezel, whereas the Muse has more convention page turn keys that protrude upwards. This is appealing towards people who have used older e-readers and want to upgrade to something more modern.
Bookeen has been using the Linux operating system for their complete line of e-readers for a number of years. This e-reader is fairly basic and does not have a ton of advanced features to boggle the minds of people new to digital reading.
The homescreen comprises of the book you are currently reading with a progress bar of how much of it is remaining. Underneath that is a small carousal with all of the eBooks in your library with their cover art being displayed. If you click on any of the book covers it will automatically launch the e-reading app.
I think overall the Cybook software is fairly robust, it is super stable and never prone to crashing. One of the downsides is that there is no internet browser bundled on it, so you won't be able to visit your favorite websites.
e-reading experience
Bookeen handles the core e-reading experience fairly conventionally, but most of its advanced features are a bit complicated to access. If you are buying this reader to just read books and not make highlights, annotations, look words up in the dictionary or use the keyboard, you are fine! If you want to do any of these things, be prepared to jump through a ton of hoops.
You can customize your e-reading experience by hitting the home key and then selecting the settings menu. There are options to change the font size, eight different font types, line spaces or margins. This is normally the most accessed reading features and anything you augment is dynamically changed on the screen.
PDF Viewing is a solid experience on the Muse you can pinch and zoom and get a particular frame or image showing up correctly. There is also a "reflow" mode, which will strip away all of the images and CSS elements, giving you more of an eBook experience. Depending on the extensiveness of the PDF file you are viewing, reflow can be hit or miss.
Wrap up
If you want to find out what we thought of this e-reader and if its a viable investment, check out our unboxing and video review.

The Nexus 9: no, it's not an iPad, but is that bad?
The Nexus 9 is taking a lot of heat in reviews around the web. The most common complaints are that the build quality isn't great, and the battery life is less than ideal. I've been using a Nexus 9 as my primary tablet for the past week or so, and I'm going to attempt to give you the most objective review I can. Keep in mind, I'm human, and I definitely have preferences (biases) that'll come through, but I'll do my best.
The competition: Apple's iPad Air 2
Most reviews are comparing the Nexus 9 to the new iPad Air 2, but there are a few things that a lot of reviews leave out, and I think that's a bit unfair. Despite that, I do agree with the majority of the online reviews in this: the build quality on the iPad is a bit better.
About the build quality …
Personally, I don't like the aluminum on an iPad. Before you call me crazy, consider this: aluminum is a relatively soft metal, but more importantly, the finish on an iPad is slippery. I want something grippy on the back of my tablet, and I don't want to have to buy case to make it grippy.
That being said, the iPad Air 2 doesn't flex, and feels very solid. There are a lot of reports of the Nexus 9 having a flexy back. The one I'm using doesn't seem to have this, so I'm wondering if it's a quality control issue on the assembly line. The Nexus 5 had a speaker problem on the first run, but they fixed it, and the speaker sounds much better now. Maybe this will get the same treatment?
Overall, while I'm not floored by the build quality of the Nexus 9, I have no problems with it either. The back is grippy, the screen is Gorilla Glass, and it has a nice weight to it without being too heavy.
A note on pricing and storage
Another thing I think a lot of review sites get wrong is this: "The iPad Air 2 is only $100 more!" Yes, it's true that the 16 GB Nexus 9 is $399, and the 16 GB Air is $499. Yes, that's $100.
Here's the problem: I really don't think you should be buying a tablet with 16 GB of memory on it anymore. Sure, you can get yourself some cloud storage, but not all internet connections are created equal. You may not always have Wi-Fi or cellular coverage, and international rates? Don't get me started. For something that's great for watching videos and playing games (both of which can take up over 1 GB of space), 16 GB just isn't enough–especially when a big chunk of that space is taken up by the OS (meaning you can't use it).
So, I would argue that the 32 GB and 64 GB models are the lowest storage options you should consider. The 32 GB Nexus 9 is $479, and the 64 GB iPad is $599. That's a difference of $120, and it's a direct comparison of the models I'd actually suggest buying. The Nexus 9 does not offer a 64 GB model and the iPad doesn't come in 32 GB, which bothers me, so it's not exactly an apples-to-apples comparison. But again, if you're going to buy a new iPad, it should be 64 GB. If you're going to buy a Nexus 9, it should be 32 GB, and that's $120 cheaper.
OK, no more comparisons–it's all Nexus from here
Despite some light bleeding around the edges more than it should, the screen is pretty great–not the best out there, but not too shabby at all. The volume and power and buttons are too far recessed into the metal edge of the device and don't have enough travel. The speakers sound pretty darn good for a tablet. I'd call them comparable to an iPad, but that's just my subjective ears talking–I don't have audio testing equipment.
The area in which the Nexus 9 may shine is under the hood. On paper, the Tegra K1 SoC (System on a Chip) is a 64-bit beast. Possibly the most powerful platform out there right now.
I say "may" and "possibly," because this an in-house attempt from Nvidia to design a (mostly) brand new chipset. The Tegra K1 simply hasn't been in the wild long enough for us to know how it's going to hold up. It might be flaky, or it might be awesome.
My experience with the Nexus 9's hardware is that it's been really fast, and I'm extremely happy with the performance. Others are reporting bugs, but I think that's more on the software side of things …
Oh, and about the software
The Nexus 9 ships with Lollipop (Android 5.0), right out of the box. There's only one problem with that: there are some lingering bugs to work out.
In fact, if you open your shiny new Nexus 9, turn it on, and connect it to your Wi-Fi, you'll find out there's a software update waiting for you. Install it! It'll improve your battery life and stability. More updates are already on the way to further improve these problem areas.
The 4:3 screen throws a bit of a monkeywrench in the works for the software too. See, most Android apps are optimized for a 16:9 or 16:10 screen. That can cause text or graphics to run off the screen occasionally. As more 4:3 Android devices come out (and they likely will), I think a lot of those problems will go away, but you should be aware of it.
All of that being said, Lollipop is gorgeous. It's fast, it's smooth, and the animations really make it feel polished. I'd give Google a month or two to work out some of the bugs that are specifically affecting the Nexus 9, but I really think you're going to like this new, sweet OS. (See what I did there?)
My only complaints about the new "material" design are: the white background in the app drawer and the new home, back, and recent app icons. Those are just my aesthetic preferences though, and others might really dig 'em. Overall, I'm a big fan of Lollipop!
So, is it good?
The answer to that question is yes … mostly. Personally, I'd like to see the price point be $350 for the 16GB model, and $400 for the 32GB. That'd be much more reasonable, assuming they get the relatively minor bugs worked out.
The back-flexing problem, I'm guessing, is a manufacturing flaw, not a design flaw–something that can be fixed by improving the quality control at the factory. The battery-life complaints can likely be mitigated a bit through software updates.
Using this tablet, for me, has been pretty painless for the past week or so, and I'm considering recommending one for my mom. Really, it's good! One of the best Android tablets you can buy right now, in fact. I don't think you'll regret buying a Nexus 9, especially with how well Google supports Nexus devices through software updates.
However, if you prefer the widescreen aspect ratio like I do, you might like the Nvidia Shield tablet or the Galaxy Tab S–both great tablets, and in the case of the Shield tablet, you can even save some money (it's $299).
Full disclosure: I personally think the Shield tablet is pretty amazing. It may be marketed as a gaming tablet, but it's really a great all-around device. Heck, [Nvidia is absolutely kicking tail when it comes to supporting the device with software updates too](http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/11/18/hands-shield-tablets-lollipop-update-nvidias-giving-google-run-money/!

Wheels and a sandwich
If you're at tomorrow's PiWars robotics Jam in Cambridge, you'll meet this little fellow, built by Gert from an A+, with a trailer constructed from a Compute Module baseboard PCB that nobody was using. He made it with a specific purpose in mind: to deliver jam sandwiches to me from the other side of the office.
Why, you ask? When we were developing the Raspberry Pi back in 2011, a regular class of comment in these parts was: "Why doesn't it have a quad-core processor/a Gigabyte of RAM/more USB ports etc etc?"
The canonical response was: "And wheels and a sandwich?"
It's nice to see that Gert treats my bad-tempered expostulations as prophecy.
We're calling him TOAST•E. Come and meet him at PiWars tomorrow!
Putting out feelers: Compute Module Symposium
It's been a few months since we originally announced the Compute Module. Now we're beginning to see orders from industrial customers, and designs incorporating it hitting various crowd funding websites, we thought it might be time to have a get-together to share a little!
The Compute Module is not a consumer product. It was developed specifically to help our industrial customers. There are a lot of businesses out there using standard Raspberry Pis inserted into their products: the Compute Module allows them to redevelop their products to be smaller and to address their task more specifically. Over the past few months we've seen new products being developed through the Raspberry Pi forums and on social media, and we thought it was about time to think a little more seriously about how we can help.
The other day I was talking with the team at ARM about their Connected Community, and it rang a bell with me about what we're trying to do with the Compute Module on a slightly different scale. So I thought a developer symposium would be a great way to get people who are interested in the Compute Module together to discuss their projects and designs.
So we're putting out a call for participation/presentations/papers. We want to invite people who are using the Compute Module in their own products to take part, and we will also give at least the following 30 minute presentations:
We'll also be available during the symposium to discuss designs individually, and to help direct people in the right way of doing things.
We have not yet set a date because we don't know what demand will look like. So if you're not interested in presenting please tell us what you would like to see from the event, and what you'd like to learn: we'll see if we can incorporate that into the symposium.
For presentations please send a short abstract (150 odd words will do) explaining what you'd like to talk about to firstname.lastname@example.com. And let us know if you'd be interested in coming in the comments below too, so we can gauge interest.

While it is fair to say that technology industries like information technologies (or ICT), biotech, medtech, fintech and cleantech have some common traits - all hold promise for our future and all are research and science-based knowledge industries – they are in fact very different from each another.
In the current rhetoric on supporting innovation to underpin our nation's productivity, to get the best results from policy development, should these technologies be considered one homogenous group or recognised as a disparate grouping of tech sectors?
Dr Anna Lavelle, CEO of AusBiotech, believes the technology industries are a heterogeneous grouping, but says "if the sectors could work in concert where they share common ground, Australia could have a serious chance of attracting policy support to transform discovery into innovation for economic and social benefit."
"What suits one technology sectors will not suit another. They have very different life cycles, they dominantly prefer different types of intellectual property protections – some use patents, some copyright or know-how, some use industrial designs – they have various commercial structures, and points of maturation," said Dr Lavelle.
"In the lead up to the Federal Government's Innovation Agenda, which is expected in the coming weeks, it has been somewhat lost in the hype that technological innovation will not win from a one-size-fits-all approach.
"ICT does not equal biotech or medtech, and making policy to suit only ICT, or only biotech, and expecting innovation to win is missing the point and possibly the great opportunity that is available to Australia now.
"Commercialising good science – from research and development, to manufacturing, to attracting capital to develop therapies, to how we pay for them as a society – all requires new thinking and an entrepreneurial spirit.
"Like many, we believe reforms are needed in tax, capital attraction and how we fund commercialisation and translation of our technologies. Australia's biotechnology industry, like the other technology industries, has a key role to play in our future, in keeping our brightest talent on-shore, in underpinning our economy, delivering quality jobs and technologies to improve our productivity and our lives," said Dr Lavelle.

There is a dictator in our home. Her name is Kenzie. Just as we always have to listen to her music in the car, we have to watch her shows when we turn on the TV. On weeknights, since Hubs and I get home from work late, we usually have dinner, watch a little TV then get the kiddos ready for bed. NETFLIX has a great selection of shows that Kenzie approves for watching: Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Road Rally, Jake and the Never Land Pirates, Curious George, Sesame Street and Thomas & Friends: Go Go Thomas. What's neat about NETFLIX is that she can watch her favorite TV shows and movies anywhere, anytime she wants. Plus it's easy for her to navigate as our remote has a handy dandy NETFLIX button.
Hubs downloaded the free NETFLIX app on Kenzie's iPad and she expertly swipes and taps her little finger to get to her favorite program. You can even view the shows on your computer at NETFLIX.com but since Kenzie is more adept at using the iPad and TV, those are her go to devices. I never knew what a great selection of children's programming NETFLIX had until Kenzie pointed out her favorites (when I was searching for a movie to watch). Guess who ended up watching her show? Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is a constant for both Kenzie and Mason - it never gets old and good thing because they can watch it over and over again on NETFLIX!
NETFLIX has a dedicated kids section that has family favorites appropriate for children 2 years old to 12 years old! Wow - that means Kenzie needs to get her own television or we are going to be watching her shows for at least another 9 years. I know that there is controversy as to whether parents should allow their littles to watch TV at such a young age but in my opinion, I believe Kenzie has learned so much from watching these shows as well as expanded her vocabulary. NETFLIX makes it easy for parents to make show choices for their kids by getting help from Common Sense Media to provide ratings, reviews and information regarding their content.
What's better than curling up on her own chair with an ice cream cone or bucket of popcorn to watch her favorite shows? It's the good life for my little 3 year old.
What are you watching on TV with your family? Netflix has family favorites from Disney, Disney Jr., Hasbro, Cartoon Network and Dreamworks that are available to stream anytime, anywhere.
And streaming is easier than you think! Download the free app on your iPad, click on the Netflix app on any gaming device, go to the website on your computer – and you're in business. Check it out here!

The other day, in my personal email, I received notice of a direct message from the twitterverse. It told me that "Dr. Oz is my savior" and had a link attached.
And, I knew it was a hack job and spam. Let's examine why it was obviously a hack job/spam.
First, I can't not remember the last time I logged into my twitter account. I view twitter and linkedin as fairly worthless. I know, everyone loves them. . . I just can't see the point. I have a linkedin because I've actually found that I could contact "long losts" through it when they didn't have facebook. I started a twitter because I was curious. But, again, can't even remember the last time I logged on to twitter. So, the idea that someone would feel that a direct message to me through twitter was the easiest way to convey their personal and heartfelt faith was laughable.
Second, the supposed direct message was from someone I know IRL. And, not only do I know them, actually, but we communicate via other social media on the regular.
Third, this particular friend and I share a love of good food and strong drink. I'm pretty sure this particular friend would not be a minion of Dr. Oz.
And, lastly, my friend has rejected the religious traditions of his upbringing . . . I'm pretty sure some attention-hound, media quack isn't going to replace the most organized crime syndicate of all time.
But, now I have something more to taunt my friend with on a regular. Thank you hacker/spammers for that.

Night Tube strike 'ludicrous' and 'futile'July 8, 2015
London Underground workers are planning to stage a 24-hour strike tonight over the introduction of the new night Tube service.
The members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT), Transport Salaried Staffs Association (TSSA), and Unite are planning a walk out at 6.30pm, while ASLEF drivers will begin a strike from 9:30pm.
Responding to the action, David Leam, Director of Infrastructure Policy at London First, said:
"This strike is a futile attempt to hinder the introduction of a modern service on the London Underground.
"We are a global capital with a thriving hospitality and entertainment sector. Yet every weekend those enjoying the capital's nightlife are let down by a service that closes too early.
"Cities such as New York already offer a 24/7 service, while many others stay open later than ours. Running the Tube through the night will generate more jobs in the entertainment sector, make London more attractive to tourists and make journeys safer and easier for those who work late.
"The unions should now drop their ludicrous claim that the night tube is a 'vanity project' and get back to the negotiating table to strike a deal that works for London as a whole."
London First has previously welcomed the announcement that London Underground would run a 24-hour 'Night Tube' service at weekends.
Independent research into the economic benefits of the Night Tube, commissioned by London First and Transport for London, found that the new service will boost jobs and help maintain London's status as a vibrant and exciting place to live, work and visit.
The research found:
- Around 1,965 permanent jobs will be supported by the Night Tube – 265 through direct operation of the service and 1,700 indirectly in the night-time economy.
- The net additional output produced as a result equates to an additional £360m over 30 years.
- Time savings will be on average 20 minutes, but up to an hour will be saved on some routes.
- The standard business case shows that for each £1 spent on delivering the Night Tube, benefits will be £2.70.
- Adding in wider economic impacts increases this benefit by £1.20 for every pound spent
There are also further 'unquantifiable benefits', including:
- Reduced demand for illegal minicabs, thus improved safety in taxis at night.
- Improved commuter journeys for many people who work during the night-time in central London but live further out.
- Potential for longer operating hours for bars, clubs, restaurants, bowling alleys, cinemas, museums, art galleries and attractions.
The latest updates on the strike can be found here.

I think this is a return to form for my complaints...
Dearest Sainsburys
I have a friend that moved out to Australia and she has been watching Wimbledon and is very upset that she cannot get British strawberries in Australia.
I wanted to rescue the damsel-in-strawberryless-distress so I agreed to send some over in my teleport machine.
However my teleport machine is quite particular in terms of the integrity of objects it sends, especially living items, and it rejected the strawberries due to "Intolerable Levels of Infection".
To explain in non-teleport terminology, the strawberries that were delivered to me on Friday were already mouldy by Saturday despite having several days date on them.
Please can you rectify this situation.
Kind regards
Thank you for your email about your recent order. We only want to deliver great quality products so I am sorry that the strawberries were of such poor quality and were rejected by your teleport machine. I can understand how dissatisfied you must be, especially as this is not the service you have come to expect from us.
Our colleagues are trained to use their initiative and experience when selecting products. I have passed your comments on to the online manager, who will speak with our colleagues at the store who shopped for your order to ensure that you receive great quality items in all your future deliveries.
All our products come to us from reputable suppliers. We insist on strict procedures and quality controls through all the stages of handling, storage and display to ensure that they reach you in perfect condition and the taste and texture should reflect this.
I have sent an evoucher for £2 to your email address as a refund for this item. You can enter this code next time you check out and the amount will be deducted from the cost of your order.
We appreciate you taking the time to contact us as your feedback helps us improve our products and services. We look forward to seeing you online shortly.
Yours sincerely
Customer Manager

And well,.. this is my blog so here I do not have to be so respectful. this is my place to really let off steam when I want to.
Well as this man is obviously so spiritually superior to all of us, im surprised he's not floating around somewhere. The debate bantered back and forth.
Get this answer of his..."I guess it's difficult for you people to let go of fairy tales, fake shrouds, pointless writings the Church wont even recognize. Still so many can't recognize the God within and need the Man made images of OZ and wont realize, it's a man behind the curtain, just a man playing God." no lie this is the shit he spewed. What a colossal arrogant fucker.

The government shutdown has forced the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) to postpone publishing its "Employment Situation Summary" for September, 2013.
Subsequently, Employee Rights Blog must also delay publishing its unemployment rate report for September. That's because we base it on the information ordinarily provided by BLS.
Update: The current unemployment rate report is now available.
Employee Rights Blog will again publish its unemployment rate report as soon as the government shutdown ends and the BLS provides the necessary information.
Sorry if this causes you any inconvenience.

Round three this week
Well, since the hospital stay last week, everything is going fairly good. Can't complain too much, except the hair on my head is falling out. It's pretty weird actually, it hasn't 100% come out, but there's only a few patches here and there. So, I just shaved it down all the way. Also, my facial hair almost completely fell out. I was in the shower, and while washing my face, half of my gotee came out in my hand. I thought "well, that's not cool." And of course, about 90% of it came out then, so I shaved the rest of it off, and haven't had to shave since. Kinda nice actually. But it just looks weird, to me anyways. And since I'm looking like Mr. Clean now, I've even had friends not even recognize me. I'm setting there waving or saying something, and they give that uncomfortable "hey" response, with the look on their face like "what's this wierdo want?" You all know what I'm talking about, we've all been there. I just laugh.
I started my third round of treatment today, another three days of setting here for hours on end. I had my checkup CT scan, to make sure the cancer is responding to the chemo, and thankfully it is. Which means the cancer is on it's way out again. So, everything is still on track for me to get the stem-cell transplant on time. Which that should start in about three weeks or so. The doctor asked me if I was nervous about it, and I told her I wasn't, but that I just wanted to hurry up and get this over with. I'm tired of being so worn down.
As far as non-cancer related news, I'm moving to another apartment this week. It's the same apartment complex, just moving to a 1st floor apartment. That 3rd floor is really getting to be a pain to walk up and down to all the time. Just need to finish packing, and I'll be ready to go. Almost seems like a waist of time to have to pack everything up, because I'm just moving across the parking lot. But it's been good to go through everything and weed some stuff out that's just taking up space.
Well, not much else to report on, I guess. I attached a picture I just took during chemo this morning, so you'll be able to recognize me. I won't dime anyone out for not recognizing me up until now, but after this, no excuses! Just kidding. Hope everyone is doing good. You all have been in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm outta here, the hospital that is
Well, I'm finally getting discharged. I'm feeling good, and no sign of fever or infection. They don't really even know what happened. Just some type of infection that got in, and did it's thing. Good news is that I'm better, and getting out of this boring place. Everything went good though, I can't complain. All the nurses were good, and nice. Just the food needs a lot of work. ;-) So, as soon as I get home, I get to come right back for chemo. Yee ha. I guess it's alright though. I would rather try to stay as close to schedule with that as I can. I'm only a few days off, so treatment won't really change too much, if at all. So, I'm going to get ready to get out of here. Thanks to everyone that visited, emailed, called and especially prayed. It definitely helps break the monotony of setting here bored for hours on end.

I'm in the hospital again
Well, yesterday was my first chemo of round 2. Treatment went ok, and got home around 2 pm. Around 4 pm or so, I was feeling fairly bad with a fever, headache, having a hard time breathing., and some other stuff. So, I checked my temperature, and it was 101. I took some Tylenol, and an hour later, my temp. was up to 103. So, I went to the emergency room, and they did a ton of tests. Haven't found what's going on yet. I'm going to be here for at least 2 days, at least that's what they are saying. They think it may be some type of infection, but haven't been able to figure out what it is, or where it started at. So, here I am in the hospital trying to stay at least a little bit awake. I'll post again when I find something out.

1st round of chemo down
Hi Everyone,
My first round of chemotherapy is over with. Treatment started Monday, 28 July, with 3 days of chemo. Then starting the next Monday, each day for 5 days I had to get a shot of Neupogen, basically a white blood cell booster. These shots will sometimes make your bones hurt, because it's basically making your bone marrow work a little harder to produce more blood cells. But I didn't have any pain what-so-ever. So I've been pretty lucky as far as that. Overall, I'm feeling pretty good. I haven't been getting very sick, just a little upset stomach and a wierd, metallic taste in my mouth. Strange, but it went away after a few days. And the upset stomach is easily remedied with a medication called compazine. So, as far as the rest of the treatment, everything seems to be on track. I should be starting round 2 of 3 this coming monday. It depends on whether my blood counts are high enough or not. But they should be fine. If everything stays on track, I should be doing the stem-cell transplant in mid-september. As far as I know, anyways.
Other than that, everything is the same for the most part. I'll be moving to a 1st floor apartment at the end of the month, which will be a God-send. I'm getting so sick of going up and down those 2 flights of stairs. But other than that, life is pretty much the same.
