User : both..
Doctor : ok

Doctor : she should extract the milk
User : yes we are expressing it
User : via electric pump
Doctor : ok
User : and using that to mix with the formula
Doctor : even later for first 2 months atleast
User : why is that?
Doctor : because of harmone will be secreted by her
Doctor : the milk will be produced
Doctor : if she does not feed
User : ohh yeh she is planning to take a pill to stop the milk..
Doctor : ok
User : so she can just continue with formula from then on..
Doctor : its an alternative
User : but i mean thats one side of it.. for me the main worry is the breathing
Doctor : yeah she can continue formula feeds
User : i mean i cant sleep just worrying a bout him..
Doctor : not to worry
Doctor : the baby is normal
Doctor : its rate is good
Doctor : means respiratory rate
User : but stopping breathing for over 20seconds and twice.. is a bit worrying
Doctor : its wat the breathing machine says
User : well.... its an extremely accurate sonsor..
Doctor : but the baby is well breathing
Doctor : feeding well
Doctor : active
User : id love to think that but i still worry
User : especially with SIDS and how it is sudden
Doctor : i am assuring yu not to worry
User : only other things about his breathing would be he has like a raspy sound when he has just eaten
User : and sometimes makes squaking nises
Doctor : while sleep is there any harsh breathing
User : and when we were at the hospital the baby doctor said he had some condition that when he cries loudly and breaths in he makes a squaky sound
Doctor : or increased respiratory rate
Doctor : or chest retractions
User : well i dont think so..
User : but he does make sounds in his sleep
User : little squaky sounds
User : sometimes sounds rough when asleep
Doctor : ok
User : but thats more so when hes just kind of woken up
User : the doctor said he has a weak air pasa something
User : so when he cries ir collapses and makes the squake sound
User : squeake i mean
Doctor : its weak air passage
User : sory yeh
User : passage
Doctor : was any treatment given
User : no
Doctor : or any advice
User : shes said it should go away
User : as he gets older
User : as long as doesnt do hat in normal breathing
Doctor : yes the doctor is right
User : but the little squeaks he makes now and then make me think its that
Doctor : it correct advice
Doctor : no
User : like he just squaked
Doctor : not to worry
User : squeaked i mean:)
Doctor : coming to SIDS risk faactors are
Doctor : Premature or of low birth weight
Doctor : Placed to sleep on their stomachs.
Doctor : Infants exposed to secondhand smoke have a higher risk of SIDS.
Doctor : More SIDS cases occur when the weather is cooler.
User : oh ok i wonder why that is..
User : should he be wrapped more to keep warmer
User : i thought is he is too warm hed sleepdeepr and make it worse
Doctor : yes that the reason
Doctor : Put your baby to sleep on his or her back
User : how about the head
User : should it be facing to the side?
User : or held straight in position
Doctor : to be facing on one side
Doctor : most of times
Doctor : sometimes to straigt
User : and is it a good idea to use a pacifier while he sleeps
Doctor : A smoke-free environment is especially important
User : or thats a bad idea
User : yeh no smokers here
Doctor : yes pacifier are use full
Doctor : Use a firm mattress, rather than a water bed or beanbag.
Doctor : Avoid placing your baby on thick, fluffy padding, such as lambskin or a thick quilt. These may interfere with breathing if your baby's face presses against them.
User : with pacifiers i was worried what if he threw up in his sleep and the pacifier pushes it back in his throat
Doctor : Sucking on a pacifier at naptime and bedtime may reduce the risk of SIDS.
Doctor : Keep the temperature in your baby's room at a level that's comfortable for you, not warmer than normal.
User : xzx
Doctor : If the pacifier falls out of your baby's mouth while he or she is sleeping, don't pop it back in.
Doctor : xzx can yu expand it
User : sorry the xzx was a mistake
User : accident:)

Silent as ever, the film has mastered in all respects. More than a clear year since release, and the movie continues to make waves. 'Mouna Guru' starring Arulnidhi and Ineya was screened at the 10th Chennai International Film Festival, where is won a special mention. Jacob Wong, director of Hong Kong-Asia Film Financing Forum (HAF) watched the film, and invited the team of 'Mouna Guru' to take part in the prestigious Hong Kong Film Festival, in its 37th edition. The festival is held between 17th of March and 2nd of April this year.
Shanthakumar made his debut in direction with 'Mouna Guru' and is more than happy now, with the turn of events. Yet, modestly enough, he is currently working on a script for KE Gnanavelraja's production house. Apart from 'Mouna Guru', only two other movies were short listed from India, for the Hong Kong screening - 'Gangs of Wasseypur' and 'Gulab Gang'.

The Great Cookie Experiment- Chocolaty-Caramel Thumbprints
Thumbprint cookies are classic. You can find them in all different varieties vanilla or chocolate, fruity or not. I was intrigued by this version, which has a chocolate cookie and a caramel filling. For all that they are a classic, and this is NOT the first thumbprint cookie I've reviewed, I learned some things about making them that I didn't know before.
Most thumbprint cookies have you dip the cookie in egg whites and roll them in nuts. This cookie is no exception. What I learned, however, is that at LEAST dipping them in the egg whites is pretty important to having the cookie maintain its shape! I wanted to make a nut-free version for my friend who thinks that nuts are poison, so I made just a few that I didn't dip and roll in nuts. When the cookies came out of the oven, those nut-free cookies had spread out over the pan and didn't retain their lovely little cup-shape so that it was easy to fill them. It was pretty sad. The others turned out just fine.
I had mixed reviews on this cookie. One of my girls came and told me that it was THE BEST COOKIE EVER. My husband, however, didn't like them at all. The same thing happened with my friends- some loved them, some didn't. As for me, I wanted….more. The caramel came out a little bit runny, and weak tasting. I'd like a thicker, richer caramel there in the middle. The chocolate and the caramel just didn't seem to blend together very well. We also came to the conclusion that adding some coarse salt on top of the caramel would be a REALLY good idea. We sprinkled on some sea salt as we ate them, and that gave the flavor a nice boost. It's not just because I've recently become addicted to salt caramels, either. Add the salt. Mm, salt.
Chocolaty- Caramel Thumbprints
1 egg
½ cup butter, softened
2/3 cup sugar
2 Tbl milk
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ tsp salt
24 caramels, unwrapped
¼ cup whipping cream
1 ¼ cups finely chopped pecans
Preheat oven to 350. Separate egg; place yolk and white in separate bowls. Cover and chill egg white until needed. In a large mixing bowl beat butter with an electric mixer for 30 seconds. Add sugar and beat well. Beat in egg yolk, milk, and vanilla. In another bowl, stir together flour, cocoa, and salt. Add flour mixture to butter mixture and beat until well combined. In a small saucepan heat and stir caramels and whipping cream over low heat until mixture is smooth. Set aside. Slightly beat reserved egg white. Shape dough into 1 inch balls. Roll balls in egg white, then in pecans to coat. Using your thumb, make an indentation in the center of each cookie. Bake for 12-14 minutes on a lightly greased cookie sheet until edges are firm. If cookie centers puff during baking, repress with your thumb. Spoon melted caramel mixture into indentation of cookies. (Reheat caramel if it's too stiff to work with. Sprinkle with coarse salt. Mm. Salt) Transfer to wire rack to cool . Makes about 32 cookies.

Annie T. Powell: A Special Ocean City Woman
Annie Powell in her flower garden
Annie Truitt was born in the year 1863 in a small town outside of Ocean City, Maryland called Taylorville. Her mother, Mary Truitt, was accepted by local farmers as a midwife, doctor, minister or other capacity as needed. She traveled by horse over the small sandy roads. Her pay was in many forms such as produce and meat, but very little money.
Not much is known about Annie's father Ned who could possibly have died in the Civil War or of an early illness. Annie had two older brothers who were fishermen. As a child growing up it was a life in the backwoods of Taylorville, until she met and married my grandfather, Thomas Powell. He was also a fisherman off the Ocean City shores.
Annie's Caroline Street home

During the years nine daughters were born in the home-a tenth child did not survive. Growing up each child had their chores and responsibilities such as caring for each other. The garden, fish, canning and baking was part of their life as well as the guidance of Mother and Father. The daughters all married and had children. Some settled in Wilmington, Delaware and three lived in Ocean City.
In 1925, my grandfather Powell died and she was in shock to realize she was alone at age 60 and had to provide for herself. She started selling flowers and produce from her garden (her livelihood) to the few hotels and seasonal trade that came to Ocean City,
Many of the fishermen who knew my grandfather Powell would stop and make sure she had enough fish and also in the summer, farmers from the mainland with their wagon loads of produce would stop and she would buy at lower prices and get the news of the people she knew. This is how she lived on to age 96 in the same old home.
Some of the boardwalk hotels where we sold our flowers were the Hastings, Atlantic, Stephen Decatur and the Commander which was built by Aunt Minnie Lynch-a close friend of Grandmothers and whom we called Aunt Minnie.
Annie's vegetable garden
In 1929, she suffered the loss of the small account she had in the Ocean City Bank. After that she never trusted the bank, but had her special hide-away place for her bank. She would say, "I know where it is to pay my taxes."
During January of 1930 she came to Wilmington to visit with her girls. Our home was the first stop on her visit. She had planned to stay a week or two. On the first night there was an explosion in the basement of our apartment building and the fire quickly spread to our apartment.
The firemen were able to get my Mother, Father and Grandmother out. I was able to jump from our building to another rooftop to save myself. It was a horrible night. My mother, Emma, died three nights later from her injuries.
My Grandmother had third-degree burns on her arms and hands, also her throat. Both she and my father were hospitalized for a long period of time. Needless to say this tragic thing sealed my love and closeness to her. I then went to live with my brother during the winter and with her during the summers at Ocean City. It was a terrible shock to her and to me. For her the loss of a favored daughter, and to me the loss of a beloved mother. The summers with her lasted until I was 23 and then it was into the Army in WWII for 5 years.
Henry Ward Stradley age14
In those days the few people in Ocean City were close and in touch through their church and thus deep friendships were formed. She attended the old Methodist church on Third Street, until the walk was too far for her to go, and then changed to the Presbyterian Church which was just a short walk away from the house.
Annie with her grandchildren
She was a very conservative person. It is interesting to note that she made soap for years and the soap kettle sat in the back yard like one of the family. Oil lamps also were an important part of life. Her family had to respect its purpose and safety. Her day started at first light and ended at dark working at many things, but never outside her home. In all her years she never owned or drove or desired to have a car. She was always concerned about paying her taxes and she said as they once placed her in an ambulance, "Make sure they don't charge me too much. I need to pay my taxes."
With progress and the growth of Ocean City, the little cottage on 207 Caroline Street became surrounded with concrete streets and sidewalks and the massive Route 50 Bridge was built just forty feet from her front porch. My Grandmother and I, in the early 40s, were aghast to watch the building of this bridge whose entrance into Ocean City came right across her front yard. And all she could say was "Oh my. Oh my."
Most Ocean City people in the early days would not leave their homes during the storms and Grandmother was one of them, until the big one that cut through the Ocean City Inlet. Seems the backwater of the bay flooded up to her porch and so the story goes. The Coast Guardsmen, in a boat, came to pick her up to take her to the mainland. She said "No." One of the men said, "Mrs. Powell if you don't get into this boat I'm going to pick you up and put you in." She replied, "No man is going to pick me up! So if you wait, I must make sure my chickens are safe on the back porch, then I'll get in your boat."
As kids, when she sensed a storm, she would send us up to the Coast Guard Station to ask about it. They would say, "Tell you Grandmother we are in for a blow, so button up." I can still remember how they would fly the flag for a storm.
Her youngest daughter, Annie Powell Outten, lived with her and was one of the few women that heroically manned the Bell Telephone switchboards during the storm that cut the Inlet in 1933.
The last ten years of her life saw many changes for her. She now had electricity, a radio, a television, newspapers and a bathroom. Annie helped in all of this. The last great joy was that she could rent a room in her house on weekends for $5. What a thrill, paid all her taxes.
Annie Powell in her living room
The last time I saw her before her death she ask me to be at her funeral which I promised to do. However, I was in the hospital and was not told she had died until a week later. I was very saddened.
Her life was devoted to love of her family and of Ocean City. Needless to say, I will always have happy memories to cherish of Ocean City.

Triangular at West Delaware, Manchester
April 6, 2017
Pine Oaks Golf Course, par 36
Weather conditions: cool with brisk winds, sunny
Team Scores:
Vinton-Shellsburg 206
Solon 222

(count the low four scores)
We had a good start to our new season in a challenging wind. Many of our team were playing this course for the first time and we had some junior varsity who had never played a high school golf meet before. 2016 State Qualifier, Rachel Tandy, took medalist honors with the only score in the 40s this day. Brandi Gerber made her mark as co-medalist for the first time.
Our varsity scores were very close; that shows a lot of promise for our team. Our team's putting wasn't the best, but Emily Blake took low honors with 19.
Carli Lang, Catherine Steele and Jordan Pattee played their first high school meet on junior varsity. Each girl is working hard to learn the game, rules and to improve her score.
Next week our team hosts a Vinton Country Club home meet on Tuesday against South Tama at four o'clock, and at Wildcat Golf Course, Shellsburg, we host Independence.
The Thursday meet will be played at 2:30 due to both schools having an early out schedule.

While there are still four teams left competing for the Super Bowl, the offseason began for the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night. Even before that, speculation had been rampant about what they will do with Tony Romo.
Obviously, there are three options: Keep, Cut, or Trade.
Releasing Romo would be untenable. If they do that now, there would be $19.6 million in dead cap space, so they'd only be saving about $5 million on the cap, and they'd be getting rid of the most talented backup in the league for that privilege.
My boss, Jason McIntyre, has advocated a trade. He believes Kansas City, stuck in Alex Smith purgatory, would be a solid destination. McIntyre reasons that there are a lot of holes on the Cowboys defense, and that if they're able to trade Romo then they can go make a splash to fortify that unit in free agency.
McIntyre also presents restructuring Romo's contract as a possibility. I don't know whether or not Romo would be inclined to do this. It's presumable that, as a competitive person, he wants to be a starter. Would he agree to a pay cut and be a backup? If he would, that would be a big bonus for Dallas.
It's tough to know what value Romo would have on the trade market. On one hand, you could say that unloading his contract is all the value the Cowboys need in return. There could well be some QB-desperate teams out there that would be willing to pay him what he's owed, and pray to their deities that he can somehow remain healthy.
However, my belief is that the Cowboys should keep Romo. Dak Prescott is at such a discount as a fourth-round pick on a rookie contract that even with Romo's base salary set to rise to $14 million next year Dallas does not have a prohibitive amount of money tied up in the quarterback position.
There is no question that Dak Prescott is the future of the Cowboys, and that he would be the starter on Opening Day next season. But, it would be advisable for the Cowboys to have insurance against either injury or the scenario where the film catches up to him and there is a drop-off in play.
Colin Kaepernick and RG3 had stretches where they looked like they would totally redefine what the quarterback position is capable of, but the film caught up with them and/or health issues popped up and now both of them are nearing the fringe of whether they are worth employing in the league.
I'm not saying that Dak Prescott will face similar issues, but the Cowboys saw what happened two years ago when Romo went down and they were saddled with Mark Sanchez and Brandon Weeden. Moreover, having Romo there as tacit competition would light a proverbial fire under Dak that he has to perform week in and week out lest Jerry Jones re-insert Romo at QB.
Reasonable minds can differ, but it's my opinion that the Cowboys would be better off keeping Tony Romo.

I remember when I used to run
However, 10 days ago, myself and eatingtrees booked our 'little European jaunt of happiness' for 2014. It's something we have to do. It started in 2009 with the Prague Half. 2010 was the truly painful Lisbon Half. 2011 we drove to Den Haag for their Half Marathon and then 2012 we decided to do the Marathon in Berlin. 2013 needed something a little more... well silly.... so we cycled through Holland and Belgium for the Maas Half Marathon. This year, I'm on a budget more than ever but we couldn't not do something so we've booked early, got some cheap seats and myself, eatingtrees and Mrs HMC are heading to Jersey for their Run Jersey event. Keeping the silliness level up, this involves 3 races in 3 days. A 5k on Friday night, a 10k on Saturday morning and then a Half marathon on the Sunday morning. None of which are difficult in their own right but still aiming for good times on those 3 consecutive will make it that bit more challenging.
The even cooler thing is Mrs HMC is going to join us for both he 5k and 10k before she becomes our official mascot on the Half.
This has very much motivated me to get my backside out and about 2 weekends in succession which in most respects is pretty damn poor but when you consider that prior to this, I had run a grand total of 4 times (total of 26km) since the end of July, that says it all. 8km last weekend in under 41 minutes and 6km today in 29 minutes tells me the pace is heading in the right direction too. Losing that stone and a bit has really helped! Now I just need to keep it going... Easier said than done!

Breaking my Parkrun duck!
However, being as apart from a 5km last weekend, I can count the number of times I've run in the last 3 months on one hand, that argument kinda goes out of the window. As I've heard nothing but good things, I signed up around 3 weeks ago to get me back into running but then a Ofsted visit plus other commitments like Segway racing happened and I haven't got to one. My local Parkrun is Nonsuch but I'm yet to actually get there. Instead, it was a visit to my parents this weekend that allowed me to do the Maldon one with a friend of mine who'd 'never been but always meant to go' as well.
It was a lot of fun, fully recommended and I now have a time to beat of 24:04 (time delivered to my mobile) which I'm pretty damn pleased with. (The weight loss seems to have helped the pace) I then ran back to my parents which was exactly 3km and I managed to do that bang on 15 minutes so kept the pace up well. 8km at a good pace with my first Parkrun complete. A good start to the weekend!

Segway Rally. The only way to travel

Dunwich Dynamo XXI
From the joys of Leyton... 'I f**king hate cyclists' to the bemusement of others 'what the hell is going on', it was the usual array of comments you get from people watching a lot of people on bikes heading past you dressed in anything from full lycra to 'I'm popping to the shop' attire. Dunwich Dynamo is just a wonderful, wonderful thing that brings a bunch of like-minded people on bromptons, road bikes, mountain bikes, hybrids, fixies, single-speeds, penny farthings, boris bikes, post office bikes, dog carrying bikes and various other contraptions for a night of enjoyment.
As this was our 3rd time, we've learn't a lot along the way including bring a flask of tea, a change of top for halfway and a little music for the early hours. Then don't crash and just enjoy it!
Now some people use it as a race and quite frankly, the quicker they go and take their condescending comments with them, the better, that then leaves the rest of us to enjoy the relatively relaxing ride to the coast where you can chat with who you like, go where you like (don't just follow the lights) and enjoy the satisfaction of the ride.
The first half is always relatively straight forward with our planned stops around 45 and then 86ish km. Then we head into what I call my dark place. Except it wasn't dark this time. In the past, I've sometimes struggled with this bit and questioned why I do it but this time when my eyes were feeling heavy and my blinks were getting longer and longer, I just called eatingtrees along side me, looked at him and said 'Right, I'm going to fall asleep soon and I need to stay awake so I'm just going to start talking to you and it's probably going to be a load of crap but just stick with me'. Eatingtrees being as wonderful as he is just said 'yep' and we started to chat which pretty much went on for the next hour and a half talking about everything and nothing. It was wonderful!
Then after our final pit stop at around 130km, I remembered why I do this. When the sun starts coming up around 4am, and then all the way until the beach, I get the biggest high I know. It's honestly like a drug. I sing, I smile, I attack the hills with glee, I dance on the peddles, I become chatty, I say hello to everyone, I laugh. It's like my body just says 'well if you're not gonna bloody sleep, we may as well have some fun'! I love the Dun Run, DD, the Dynamo. It makes me low, it makes me euphoric, it makes me think that everything should be this wonderful in life. See you next year, I may bring some friends!

Cranleigh 10k Race Report. 2013
A warm day meant picnic, so along with Mrs HMC, we packed the monsters into the car nice and early so they could eat some food and burn off some energy in the vast field and playground near the finish while I did a little run.
The route is approx 5/6km slightly shaded and 4/5km open sunshine. It's those 4/5 km that hurt a lot. But I'm not complaining ok. Just to make that clear. I'm not complaining. A slow 10k was eventually finished just under 54 minutes caused but my completely erratic pace (no idea what was going on there) and the heat but a lovely run none the less. I do love this race and will return next year hoping for just a couple of degrees cooler!

Tough 'n' Soggy
3. I dressed for rain, I got warm, bright and insanely humid weather. It took over an hour to cool down afterwards. Even after the shower...

Back in the groove - Nike Free 5.0 review
The shoes I had run my first ever Half Marathon in were a pair of Nikes but weren't exactly running shoes. Once completed I realised that I needed a proper pair of shoes and went off to be checked and fitted and my wallet emptied. I have worn those shoes or the latest variations of them for around 4 years now. Reason being as I've always been scared of the dreaded iliotibial band syndrome as I knew a couple of people who 'got' it when they changed their shoe but it was time for a change.

Maas Half Marathon Race and Trip report
From the first Royal Parks Half Marathon we ran in 2008, we've almost egged each other on, year on year. From eatingtrees first suggestion in a pub afterwards that we should do a European Half 'next year' which put us in Prague to our first Dunwich Dynamo in 2011. We like a challenge and this little adventure had been in the making for 2 years but got put on hold when we decided to tackle the Berlin Marathon last year. Now it was time for the silliest one yet.
If you've read anything of mine recently, I won't go through all the detail again but essentially it was a 3 day cycle across Netherlands & Belgium with one day of rest (when we did a little more cycling) before running the Maas Half Marathon. Oh sod it, here's the detail...
After meeting at the station, the first day was a gentle 30ish km to Harwich to catch the overnight ferry where we froze to death (almost) due to some Dutch cargo loader deciding that lorries were more important! I have to be honest this is the only thing the Dutch did wrong the entire time!! When we disembarked at the other end, we just had these views (and quite a lot of mist).
If fact it felt so good, we decided on a 25+ km detour to Rotterdam purely on the basis of 'we could'. Thats the kind of thinking that came back to bite us on the arse later as surviving only on coffee and cake that we had earlier, we struggled to find anywhere for lunch. Eventually and by the power of Open Source mapping and GPS, we came across the tiniest of places and by the power of charades, play acting, guesswork and luck, managed to get coke, coffee, water, chips and rolls. Honestly, it's like the carb gods were smiling down on us! Oh... and a mars bar!
After finding our most wonderful B&B which I fully and whole heartedly recommend, the heavens opened and stopped our trek up the road to find a restaurant BUT... we were then saved by our wonderful B&B owner who took some of our cash and drove up the road to get us a Chinese takeaway. After explaining the eatingtrees only eats trees and not proper food, she headed off to get us a mixture of stuff. Vegetarian to Chinese restaurant owners in Netherlands means the following. Try and hide the meat under the non meat. Needless to say, I ate like a king. Grant enjoyed some rice. And some soup. Well until he found meat in that too. The chicken omelette in a sticky sauce wasn't exactly welcomed either. Anyway, this completely unstaged picture was taken the next morning when still full from the banquette, we headed off!
Day 2 was the most enjoyable day cycling for me. Nearly all on wonderfully flat, even cycle paths without a pothole in sight through some absolutely beautiful countryside as Grant demonstrates below.
We also cycled along the massive Albert Canal which for a transport geek like me was just brilliant. Huge, huge ships and the canal was as straight as an arrow for miles upon miles on the smoothest bike path that the world could throw at us. Lunches were planned slightly better too meaning we didn't starve and when we got to our apartment, an awesome 3 bed place near nowhere but a forest and a bar, it gave the perfect end to the perfect day. Well that was until we tried to get food. On a public holiday. In Belgium. After a 14km round trip, we had a box of pasta and a jar of sauce. Still it could have been worse, the Chinese might have been open!
That evening, after discussing where we were heading with Josee, the apartment owner, she made an up and down movement with her arm. Grant assumed this wasn't an up and down movement at all, more a we were going from place to place movement and there would be no hills. In the morning when we left, Josee's husband confirmed my fears. There were hills. After 2 days when a bridge over a river was our biggest problem, it seemed we were going to be tested a little more. With that in mind, we decided, after a breakfast of coffee and biscuits (the shops were shut remember) to try and crack on that morning and get a good portion of the days ride done before lunch. Although there was still time for an action shot!
And one to prove there were hills!
Anyway, we certainly did and 60km was ticked off before a lunch of milk rolls containing pate, cheese and sweet chilli crisps and a can of beer. Don't judge me, it was all fuel...
Mid afternoon and rush hour in Vise meant that we arrived and saw more traffic in 15 minutes than we had for the entire trip previous! And then the second biggest hill of the trip so far which over the next 2 days, we rode up and over too many times to mention!
Anyway, to the race itself. The Maas Half Marathon. Brilliant. Organisation was second to none (they had 6 different distances from 300m for the very young children to the full marathon for odd people). The Half was our race of choice and having cycled 370km up to this point, I wasn't expecting a quick time. In fact completion was the goal and because of the lovely course, great support and shere bloody mindedness that my my aching legs would get me over that line, I finished in just under 2 hours. That I didn't expect and was chuffed to bits. The screen shot shows my relief quite well I believe!
This race cost me 10 euros. For that, I got a brilliantly organised race, loads of support, a full buffet, race rucksack, a technical t-shirt and loads of great memories. This trip will live on with me for a long time so next time you fancy a race that's outside of your local area and has some good cycling routes on the way, this is a must! Here's the post run shot for you all!
For the final jaunt, we had to get changed (very quickly), get back on the bikes and head off to catch a train. By the time I got home late Sunday night, the odometer was reading 400.5km ridden and 21.1km run. Not bad for a weeks work. Now if I could just stand up without other people's help or having to use furniture as a balance, everything would be fine!

The 'we should know better trip' Day 1. 48.4km
Day 1 and we're currently sat waiting for the ferry! We made it across London without any problems and despite Greater Anglia's best efforts to the contrary, managed to get the bikes on train, get a seat and relax.
Once we got to Colchester, we managed to haul the bikes out of the very front of the train and get them down a lift and back up the stairs, and finally hit the road again.
A lovely countryside cycle (well once out of Colchester) was ruined only by the lack of open countryside pubs. Do they not have alcoholics in the countryside? We plodded on regardless and ended up in a cheap chain pub which has done the job.
Now I'm stood looking at a ferry I can't board for another 30 mins but hey ho, inside I have a bed, maybe a pint and I get to get out of the cycling underwear that I've had on for quite a while. It's like a nappy.... Now I know how my kids feel!

Nearly ready, nearly packed & nearly fit enough!
Tomorrow, the final packing will be completed and the only thing left for me to do will be to get on my bike and pedal!
This is gonna be awesome. A reminder of what myself and eatingtrees have planned for our 2 beautiful singlespeeds is as follows:
Tues: Get the train to Colchester in Essex early afternoon for a 30km cycle to Harwich to catch the night ferry to Hook of Holland.
Wed: Approx 95km ride to the Netherlands/Belgium border where a lovely B&B awaits.
Thurs: Around 80km ride following the Albert Canal to an apartment in the middle of nowhere with the only thing close by, being a bar. Liquid dinner then!
Fri: The final long ride will be approx 105km all the way to a place near Vise in Belgium. This is our base for 2 nights.
Sat: Nothing, a quiet day resting the legs before Sunday.
Sun: Take part in the Maas Half Marathon on very heavy legs before getting back on the bike and cycling another 20km back to Liege before getting on the Eurostar from Brussels and *hopefully* getting home at a reasonable hour in Sunday night.
See simple. As long as we don't get lost, crash, have a mechanical breakdown we can't fix, find our places to stay, get injured, find enough to eat, are able to run 21.1km, not miss our train, get the bikes on the train and South West trains still run on Sunday night without engineering works to allow me to make it home. What could possibly go wrong?

Walking and wheeling
With the in-laws kindly putting me up for the night, I abandoned my parenting duties and hit the road fully laden with everything I'll be taking with me. I've done the route south to Worthing a few times now so I pretty much knew when it was going to hurt and when I could relax so with the weather a wonderful 20 degrees, I made it in a good time despite a detour due to a road closure and feeling pretty damn good. 80km done.
The return journey started around 8:45am after a mountain of breakfast but as I'd decided to go in a completely new direction I'd never done even in a car, let alone on a bike, I was thankful for the GPS showing me the way. That was until after speeding along and making great time, I accidentally hit the North Downs. I say hit because that's how it felt. I just stopped. Going up an 18% gradient on a single speed fully loaded with panniers, saddle bags and a fat bloke ain't gonna happen. I got off top walk and was suddenly joined by many a Lycra clad roadie as a found myself slap bang in the middle of a cycling event. I enjoyed a certain smugness that at least it wasn't only me walking...
Anyway, after that little power walking exercise, I made it home again feeling pretty damn good albeit very hungry! 75km done.
The running training for the half marathon I've abandoned in the knowledge that anything I do is more likely to make my foot worse, not better so I'll just wing it and hope for the best. I certainly won't be setting any records but after all the cycling, that was never likely anyway. Completion is everything!
This weekend was spent getting attacked in Zagreb for Mrs HMC's early birthday trip. I say attacked but I do mean by tree pollen. Being a hay fever sufferer got me worse than it ever has before and it was really tough to get any sleep but, and here's the thing, it was totally worth it. 3 nights spent in Zagreb looking around and seeing the place was great but my absolute highlight was walking up Medvednica Mountain. Just the hiking trail was 4.5km at a 14% gradient so up and down that plus a couple of km either end getting there and back meant we did a 12ish km walk to pretty much the summit through the conservation area of forest. It was awesome... Even if it did mean that we could barely walk the next day. It's the downhills that seemed to cause the most problems with ankles and calf muscles but come next week, I'll be hoping for every downhill I can find.

Telling Tonsillitis to toddle off!
I spoke to the docs and was advised not to run and expect to get very tired if I got on the bike. Not ideal when training to cycling across Belgium and a little bit of the Netherlands in order to run the Maas Half! Bugger!
On Monday I took to the bike for my commute and although the 'to work' was good, the 'from work' hurt a little more than it probably should. This morning, I ran some of the way into work and a steady 8 and a bit km was done in around 44mins. It didn't hurt too much so I'm either improving or not trying hard enough. Probably both.
None of those things will quite prepare me for this weekends excursions though. Cycling 75km down to the coast where the in-laws are very kindly putting me up before I jump on the bike again on Sunday morning to cycle home again. That's gonna be sore. There are hills and everything. And the bike will be fully loaded as if it were the trip to Belgium in order to make sure I have everything!!
I have pre-warned Mrs HMC that I'll probably be in a foul mood by the time I return and may need excessive amounts of doughnuts and beer to see me through the afternoon. I expect her response will be something along the lines of 'I've been looking after our children while you've been lazing around on your bike. Get over yourself and help me out!' To be honest, I don't deserve anything more.

10 bloomin' miles
I was back visiting my parents where I grew up so the chance to run on some small country lanes through the Essex countryside and catching up with someone I hadn't seen in a while was a great thing to do and although it certainly wasn't fast, it was good to get some miles in the legs. With only 5 weeks until mine and eatingtrees' epic ride across The Netherlands and Belgium to run in the Maas Half Marathon, I now have a more little confidence that I'm actually going to be able to run at the end of the 3 days of cycling.
Tomorrow, the plan is to get on the bike and try a little more of that too as after all, If I can't even make it to the start of the race, what's the point in doing the running...

Holding Out for the Warm Weather
Tuesday, 19 March 2013
The tightness in my left shoulder which has been causing my a lot of pain in the night while attempting to sleep and had gone down to my lower back and in my left leg and ALSO caused pain in my left knee when cycling is all down to the worlds tightest left hamstring!
I was told that sessions with him alone would not solve it, I need to start stretching it properly every night otherwise it'll get worse again. Joy. At least it's happened now rather than a week before I cycle across Belgium and run a half marathon I guess.
It's the only the second time in my life that one visit to the Osteopath hasn't sorted a problem. It bugs me really, they're like insurance companies, expensive and pretty pointless up until that point you really need them!

I move slow and steady
Today, I reverted back to the old faithful's that got me through the Berlin Marathon. You know, the ones that made my toes go numb for 4-6 weeks!! Brilliant. Quite frankly though, I needed to get some k's back into the legs. I know I can get through the 3 days of cycling on our trip to Belgium but I needed to prove to myself that I can run more the 7km without dying. I can!
I left this morning with the words 'I don't know where I'm going and I hope to be back sometime between 35 mins and an hour' depending on how it was going. Well it went OK. As per the Of Monsters & Men inspired blog post title, it wasn't quick but 12.3km completed in 1hr 6mins.

Getting into Intervals
In the midst of winter, the thought of spending longer than 5 minutes running outside is enough to make you want to rustle up a hot chocolate and pretend that humans were never designed to run in the first place.
However, the appeal of long distance races seems to grow exponentially with the increase in temperatures, meaning now's the time to ramp up your training.
One of the most valuable training methods to utilise in your quest for a new PB is interval training, which refers to training using a mix of short, high intensity effort combined with slower, recovery phases throughout a training session.
The benefits of interval training are myriad, but one of the prime advantages is that you can squeeze more quality training into a shorter period of time (especially valuable seeing as it's dark by 5pm). Interval Training will also allow you to maintain some semblance of a normal working and family life.
Integrating an interval training session into your weekly training schedule will definitely put you on an accelerated course (pun intended) to improved fitness and race performances. The science behind this interval-based wizardry is that interval training has the ability to increase your anaerobic/lactate thresholds; the premise of this can be neatly summed up with this nifty little infographic
As any running aficionado will be well aware, the term anaerobic means 'without oxygen' in plain English.
Working at an anaerobic level is a result of lactic acid accumulating in your system as it cannot be broken down quickly enough, which sends you into oxygen debt. For any gluttons for punishment, you can reach this anaerobic level by doing any form of exercise at a really hard effort, but you are unable to stay at anaerobic level for long periods of time.
This is why interval training makes use of intense bursts of short effort, and the more you train at anaerobic level, the more your own body's anaerobic/lactate thresholds will improve; this will result in significant gains in your speed and endurance.
The following example of an interval training plan can be easily incorporated into your current race plan (or just as a substitute for a normal run if you aren't training for anything in particular). As a responsible running contributor, I must advocate that you are adequately hydrated and properly warmed-up before your interval training session.
Another handy piece of advice is to invest in a proper running watch to help you keep track of your interval times and pace; my personal favourite is the Garmin Forerunner 410, which has a built in GPS and has more features than you can shake a stick at. I got mine from Uttings Outdoor, but if the Garmin is a little too pricey for you, there are plenty of others out there to choose from.
When performing interval sprints on either the treadmill or the track, the basic unit of measurement is 400m with 45 seconds rest. Start by doing 16 reps of 400m at slightly quicker than race pace with 45 seconds rest in between; the following week, do 8 reps of 800m with 90 seconds rest in between. You will gradually work your way up to 3 reps of 2000m, with 225 seconds (3 mins 45) rest in between; then you start to decrease the distance again. The following table should provide you with a handy guide.

But look at this:
Financial crisis management: Lessons from Japan's lost decade | vox – Research-based policy analysis and commentary from leading economists
Fiscal stimulus packages may not work
One big lesson from Japan's 1990s is that Keynesian policy per se did not work for the financial crisis due to the collapse of asset prices. While Japan undertook huge fiscal stimulus packages repeatedly in the 1990s, the government did not pursue a serious policy effort to make banks dispose of their nonperforming loans. As a result, a huge amount of hidden nonperforming loans swelled under implicit collusion between the government and banks. Naturally, the payment uncertainty and economic shrinkage persisted for years. The essential problem was the spreading of payment uncertainty, and policies centred on public works and tax cuts were not direct enough to attack the problem, though they were temporarily effective at mitigating the severity of the economic downturn. Direct debt relief for mortgage borrowers and distressed (but viable) firms, along with fiscal assistance for the liquidation of nonviable firms, are straightforward, cost-effective fiscal policies much more capable of wiping out the payment uncertainty than standard public works and tax cuts.
Could is be that they want fiscal stimulus for other reasons? The political economy is interesting, to say the least.

This is like playoffs football brahs on New Years Day
I am taking the Cowboys +3
Take a look at the tale of the tape for Sunday night's NFC East showdown between the Dallas Cowboys at New York Giants:
Dallas, despite injuries to skill players all season, can put points on the board. Tony Romo is flirting with a 4,000-yard season under center and has the Cowboys ranked eighth in the NFL in passing yards. They have one of the best receiving corps in the NFL, most notably Dez Bryant, who has been a Giant killer during his two-year career. He has four career touchdowns in three games versus New York.
Dallas' running game is dangerously thin, with Felix Jones nursing a tender hamstring and rookie RB DeMarco Murray out for the year after breaking his ankle against the Giants in Week 14. Behind Jones is veteran rusher Sammy Morris.
Eli Manning has led an erratic Giants offense, but is still one of the best quarterbacks in crunch time. He led New York to a come-from-behind win in Dallas in Week 14, passing for 400 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in that game. The Giants have the fourth-ranked air attack in the NFL and should have Mario Manningham and Hakeem Nicks healthy on the wings.
The Giants rolled over the Cowboys in their last meeting, with running back Brandon Jacobs rushing for 101 yards and two touchdowns. Fellow running back Ahmad Bradshaw was benched for most of that game after breaking team rules. On the year, New York ranks dead last in the NFL in rushing, putting up just over 88 yards per game.
Edge: Cowboys
It was New York's defense that won the Week 14 matchup with the Cowboys and kept the team's playoff hopes alive. Jason Pierre-Paul was outstanding in that game, recording two sacks, a safety, a forced fumble and won the game with a blocked field goal that would have forced overtime.
The Giants, on the year, are not as impressive on defense. They rank 28th in average yards allowed (381.5) and points against per game (25.7). However, New York looked solid against the Jets last Sunday, holding their N.Y. rivals to only 14 points.
Dallas' defense has been stout against the run for most of the season, allowing just 98.6 yards on the ground per game. Against the pass is another story. The Cowboys secondary has been prone to the big play on third and fourth downs and ranks 23rd in the league in defending the pass.
Defensive coordinator Rob Ryan is a master of disguising the blitz, but can sometimes get carried away. Dallas is seventh in the NFL with 40 sacks – 18 of those coming from linebacker DeMarcus Ware. Ware was limited to just two tackles against the Giants in Week 14 and took two crucial penalties in the final minutes that helped New York come back and win the game.
Edge: Giants
Special teams
Dallas' special teams have been a mess in the home stretch of the season. Kicker Dan Bailey was iced by his own coach in a loss to Arizona and then got the freeze from Giants head coach Tom Coughlin in Week 14, eventually leading to a blocked field goal.
The punt and kick return game hasn't been much to write home about either. Dallas averages 23.7 yards per kickoff return and only 7.3 yards per punt return – 27th in the NFL.
New York kicker Lawrence Tynes has connected on only 81.8 percent of his field goal attempts and doesn't have the leg like Dallas' Bailey.
The Giants return team averages 23.3 yards per kickoff and just 6.8 yards per punt return. Both New York and Dallas allow 10.3 yards per punt return.
Edge: Draw
Word on the street
"They're going down there to watch me become a champion again. That's what they're there for, all of them. Hell, it's a costly endeavor, but I want them to be there when we win the East, and I'll probably steal a couple T-shirts and make sure they get them. Because that's what we're there for. If it doesn't work out, I'll be pissed off because everything we got is in this one." – Dallas DC Rob Ryan talking about flying his family to the game in New York.
"I don't know ... he's 65 years old, maybe he wants to do something different. If Coach Coughlin wants to be back, I think he has that choice to be back. You never know what's going on as far as what his thought process is, but I don't see a reason to fire him, I guess. But I don't get paid to make those decisions." – New York DE Justin Tuck on the future of coach Tom Coughlin.
Go Cowboys
Romo gets knocked out by the 2nd quarter.
Jerry Jones has a meltdown at the half and decides to take to the sideline and coach the team himself.
Go Big Blue!
Eli throws 3 interceptions off his back foot by the 3rd quarter.
Tom Coughlin's face gets frostbitten again and John Sterling coaches the rest of the game.
How bout dem Cowboys!
In. Go Giants.
dis gonna be some bru-hah-hah
Look at the bright side. If Romo gets knocked out and McGee does well, the Cowboys might finally have a QB that can take them to the playoffs.
Of course, they could always sign Donovan McNabb next season.
You are now my mortal enemy
(even though I repped you a few minutes ago )
Returning the rep now.
Strike the McNabb comment. It looks like the Jets are going to have to grab him first. Sanchez is finished in NY.
im not even betting the side
maybe ill play over the 48
The over should be a strong play. I can't see either of their defenses having a huge impact on the game.
i think he gets one more year for the 2 previous AFC title games he got to
Brian Urlacher's career just ended.
wait. he's walking.
never mind.
that looked like it hurt.
In most other cities probably, but the media is going to rip him apart for this season and especially this game.
It's going to be hard for the Jets to put up with the pressure.
I see them signing a veteran QB to "back him up" and then pulling the trigger on him by week 5 if he screws up at all.
yea that seems totally plausible

I found Aubrey going through my purse today and putting on my lip gloss. Nothing is every safe.
Notice Aubrey reading her kids Bible to her dolly. So sweet! Caroline is all about getting on her knees these days. I love these pants. They were Aubrey's, but they look so cute on Caroline little booty. The pants are actually 6-9 months and Caroline is 14 months. The length is just a tad short, but they are so big around her waist.
Here is another outfit of Aubrey's that Caroline got to wear. She looks so stinking cute.
Such a sweet little girl.
After dinner, I walked into Aubrey's room to find this... Apparently Aubrey and Daddy were playing tent and reading books.
Nothing is better than some Daddy time.
Tiffani got Aubrey and Cara a Elefun for Christmas. Aubrey is obsessed. I have to hid it from her or there would be butterflies around my house all the time. I was trying to get a picture of both girls playing, but just the act of me getting my camera out made Aubrey walk away. Ha!

So I've been doing a bit of the tutorials to get familiar with Construct 2, which is a really awesome tool - loving it.
What I'm trying to accomplish is moving a player about a hexagon grid by using the mouse as a click-to-move feature. I've got that part actually working, however, the player can move themselves freely about the map. There isn't any pathfinding or limit to their distance.
I'm trying to implement the functionality to only move to the space adjacent to the player, essentially a 1 space radius around the player.
This is a bit more confusing than I thought and it was hard to search the forums for this - I found mouse movement, but it was just point-to-point and I found grid movement, but that was using WASD or other keys.
So, the main problem is only allowing the mouse click to move the player onto an adjacent hex tile only. I went about it a few different ways and it seemed UID's were the way to go, although this got just as confusing. I think I need to use instance variables too?
The capx should have everything in it (I made it a project, but everything should be in the layout - chess, tile - that's about it.)
Also, I was fudging it a bit just now and saw something weird where it spawns one at where it should, but then when it moves, there is another one. Not sure how that came about since I got rid of all the stuff I was trying to do, and put it back to how it was.

– Spain was proclaimed world champion after winning the World Cup final in South Africa over the Netherlands, thanks to a goal from Andrés Iniesta in the second half of the extra time, after finishing regular time tied at zero.
The Vicente del Bosque players, who dominated the game from the first moments of the game, had to live with the harshness of the game of 'Oranje', who tried to disrupt the Spanish midfield based on kicks by two 'destroyers' Van Bommel and De Jong.
The minutes passed and the party broke up with kickbacks to both teams, giving a greater role in the second half to Iker Casillas (who avoided a goal by Robben in the second half in a man to man confrontation) and Stekelenburg, in a couple of arrivals Villa, Iniesta and Sergio Ramos.
Without clearly dominating, both teams faced the final stretch of the match and Spain enjoyed the best chances but could not take advantage, and the game went into overtime.
Once in overtime, Cesc Fabregas wasted the clearest chance in a head to head with the goal Dutchman, Navas scratched the bottom right of the Holland goal and Xavi would not use a foul on the edge of the area, which cost the expulsion Heitinga with two yellow cards.
The goal, which came unexpectedly, would come from the feet of Iniesta with a pass from Cesc Fabregas in minute 116, whose cross-shot ended in the net.

Dates: This tour can be run upon special request
Refer to here for full details
Located in southwestern Mexico, Oaxaca, Mexico's fifth-largest state, is a varied and scenic wonder. Possessing a pleasant, mild climate, most of the state occupies a mile-high plateau encircled by the Sierra Madre del Sur. As evidenced by Oaxaca's birdlist—the largest of any Mexican state—the birding here is wonderful. In addition to several rare endemics that are most easily found here, Oaxaca is home to many additional stunning Mexican and regional endemics. Gray-breasted Woodpecker, Beautiful, Bumblebee, Emerald-chinned, Green-fronted, Blue-capped, Cinnamon-sided and White-tailed Hummingbirds, White-throated and Dwarf Jays, Ocellated Thrasher, Boucard's Wren, Slaty and Golden Vireos, Red-breasted Chat and Black-chested, Bridled and Oaxaca Sparrow are all possible. In addition to these more difficult to locate endemics we'll search for many more widespread Mexican and regional endemics. Wedge-tailed Sabrewing, Golden-crowned and Canivet's Emeralds, Russet-crowned Motmot, Citreoline Trogon, Pine Flycatcher, Chestnut-sided Shrike-Vireo, Crescent-chested and Red Warblers, Yellow Grosbeak, Hooded Grosbeak and Black-vented Oriole are some examples of this latter category. Finally, we'll visit Coastal Chiapas and the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in order to find a trio of endemic birds limited to this small slice of the world. the skulking Sumichrast's (Cinnamon-tailed) Sparrow, captivating Rosita's (Rose-bellied) Bunting and Giant Wren—the largest wren in the world!
Exciting birds often compete with majestic scenery for our attention as we travel the width & breadth of Oaxaca and neighboring Chiapas. Habitats include pine-oak forest, arid scrub, thorn forest, cloud forest and tropical lowlands. Although some of our birding destinations are at high altitude, birding is generally along roadsides with no strenuous or prolonged hikes required. Due to the diversity of habitats we visit during our tour, we have compiled an incredible composite list of more than 540 species to date. Proof of the varied birdlife found in Oaxaca, our tour has AVERAGED more than 420 species per tour over the past thirteen years. In 2003 we tallied an incredible 436 species, and each year's total since 2000 has exceeded 400. While 400 species on our trip list is a goal to aspire to, we try to make sure each participant has the most fun possible.
After much deliberation over which route provides us the best birding and comfortable lodging while minimizing long drives, our itinerary begins along Mexico's Gulf Coast at Veracruz, visits Caribbean slope lowlands and cloud forest, travels southward to the highlands of Oaxaca, visits the arid interior of Oaxaca and several ancient ruin sites, continues south to the Pacific Coast of Chiapas for the spectacular trio of Isthmus of Tehuantepec endemics, slides northwestward along the coast enjoying Oaxaca's wondrous thorn forest habitats and traverses the isolated Sierra de Miahuatlan for another trio of endemic birds. This eliminates a couple of very long travel days. More importantly, it provides us with additional time in the thorn forest habitats along Oaxaca's Pacific slope. The dramatic loss of thorn forest in recent years has made many of the highly sought species from this habitat much more difficult to find. Thus the extra time here gives participants greater comfort and a greatly increased opportunity to see all of Oaxaca's thorn forest specialties.

Frigidaire had some very handsome looking machines as always. The clear choice is washer #2 with the rapidry spin. It is more versatile and will do everything #1 will do along with a 1000 rpm spin speed. It had been a while since anyone offered a washer that would spin water out that well and it really did help the dryer keep up with the washer. My WCIL & DCIL set would actually keep up with each other load for load. That was the only matching set I ever had that would. Note: If I had owned a 50's Norge set with a gas dryer, that certainly would have kept up too! My parents 1957 Norge set did!

From my parents having had both of these machines, I can tell you that machine #1 is by far the more flexible performer. Machine #2 gives you the following speed combinations Normal Agitate with the 1010 spin, slow agitate and normal (600 rpm spin) on Permapress or Durable Press and slow agitate and slow spin on Delicate. If you want normal agitation, you are locked into the 1010 spin. If they had added the 4th speed combination of normal agitation and slow spin, it would have been a very flexible washer. With a dryer, you can get away with using mostly the Normal/1010 speed, but we had non-permapress cotton slacks and bell bottoms that we dried on pants stretchers to get the crease in them (and maintain the length) and the super fast spin was not the best setting for them because it put too many wrinkles in the fabric above the area where the stretchers worked their magic. The slow agitation offered on the permapress or Durable Press setting was a little anemic for heavier fabrics like the slacks that tend to get dirtier than shirts. We used pants stretchers upside down in bell bottoms. We had donated all that we had from before permapress slacks came out and I had to go to, I think, Kesslers in downtown Atlanta to find new ones. Pants stretchers worked magic to bruise the crease in chinos. Long after I had stopped wearing a couple of pair to school because they had become too short, I still wore them for yard work and other chores. Even years later, they would come out of the dryer with that knife-sharp crease in the leg. Friends in elementary school whose mothers ironed the leg crease would have it almost disappear by mid morning while mine lasted all day and for years afterwards. I wonder if a mangle would have put a more lasting crease in the slacks.
The programmed machine offered the speed combinations of normal agitate/ normal spin, slow/slow, normal/slow (on Wash 'n Wear) which is much more effective for washing with that jet capsule, cone, whatever agitator and slow agitation/normal Spin which is available on both Perma Press and Special (woolens) which, I think, was separate from the Delicate Setting on most Frigidaire programmed washers.

That's a shame that it wasn't more versatile as far as speed combinations. The WCIL I had was very versatile with the cycles and speed combinations, but it was TOL too.

I got the Rapidry. It's a great machine.

A recap of Scotty's first audition in front of the judges. BABY LOCK THEM DOORS. Scotty says his audition feels like it happened 10 years ago. Jimmy says the song reminds him of the Tom Petty records he worked on. Scotty strums his guitar. Good song choice for Scotty, although I wish he would have added a little more of a rock feel to it, like Jimmy Iovine suggested. The tune's got a GREAT chorus. Is this what Scotty will sound like when he records his record? If so, he's definitely moving in the right direction. Steven Tyler: I never heard you deliver a chorus like that before. Real character shown through. Jlo: There was so many moments in there I liked so much. That's what the zone feels like – you feel so comfortable in your skin. Will you shave your head for the finale? Randy Jackson: Jimmy picked a good song for you. It had a great chorus. I felt like Garth Brooks is such a great performer – you were approaching that Garth level. I felt like I was at your concert again. Guess what I'm going to say again Ryan? SCOTTY'S IN IT TO WIN IT. Drink! Drink! Drink!

I posted this a while ago but it got lost when the server crashed. Since I find myself wanting to refer to it in conversation, I'm rewriting my conception of the social hierarchy. This ordered list represents who's higher than whom in the social pecking order, in descending order of power, based on common understandings of success and desirability.
1. Top 1% of men.
2. Top 10% of women.
3. Next 9% of men.
4. Next 40% of women.
5. Bottom 90% of men.
6. Bottom 50% of women.
If you consider this representation I think you'll find it interesting, even if you want to quibble about the numbers. Note that the least desirable half of women are below all men, but the most desirable half of women are above most men. Other divisions are possible, with finer gradations, but this conveys my intentions well enough.


text: I will tell you the truth. This market started rallying when the olympics in China was announced. Then came all this development in Asia with the excuse of the Olympics. Everything went up all over Asia and then the overdevelopment began. The Olympics are coming, the olympics are coming!!! The Chinese demand more oil, more oil!!! More gold, more gold!!! Before the Olympics started, traders have already thought of the conclusion. The stock market and futures market all now taking big dumps and way off their highs. Its not over elitraders, not over yet. The grand finale will come in a few weeks. The timing of the Olympics is soooo perfect. In late August, the dumping will begin and wont reach a bottom until late October when everyone will be holding their guts wondering how they lost so much money. Oil will be cut in half, housing will dump down further and companies like AIG trading in the low teens. Starbucks trading in the high single digits and good ole Crapple cut in half. The recovery will begin, but it will go slowly and wonder back up in stages. Frustrating stages. When your IB account is dumped down to nil, that wont be the end of the frustration. As you call IB customer service, the guys behind the desk will laugh at your misfortune. Another one bites the dust. At least gas prices will be coming back down and finally you can cruise in an SUV and maybe just then GM might be a buy after it narrowly dodges bankruptcy. In the times to come, the "birds nest" stadium will become like all the rest of the Olympic stadiums. Broken down hulks. It will take decades for China to pay for all this overdevelopment and then comes a great recession in China the likes not seen since the never-ending recession in Japan. At least I will be able to go back to Asia and enjoy a good vacation with all the dumping that will make a good time cheap again. Now we have tanks rolling across Georgia with blood in the street and the so called Freedom Tower will never be built with overpaid NYC construction workers collecting lots of overtime while doing absolutely zip. What is next? What is next? Tell me what you have to say about all this, tell me now. Who cares, just buy DUG.

February clinic visit
Last Thursday was Carter's monthly clinic visit. Everything went very smoothly, even with all three kids there with me! His counts look very similar to last month's: White blood cells 1000, ANC 600, Hemoglobin 11 and platelets 190,000. His ANC is still a little lower than they want it to be so they may change his dosage a little next month. But for now, we just keep on truckin. He still has bad days every now and then, still gets sick some mornings, but for the most part, he's doing really well. This last week was rough, but he seems to be doing better now. On a side note, he's started medicine for asthma. So far it seems to be helping quite a bit. Poor kid has so many medicines going on!
