wed had a pretty long day, so us mamas called it a night fairly early - Nafeesahs migraine was escalating, walking back to camp she mentioned not having peripheral vision - she could just look straight ahead or her head really hurt. she had developed migraines of late - no worries it would go away she said. shed had some Tylenol but it wasn't helping much.
next day we were to walk to Goz Khon at the headwaters of the Braldu, a days walk from Shuwerth, for a two day fishing side trip - Gul had described the place endlessly, both in his emails to me earlier in the year as well as during the trek. very close to the Chinese border, it was a place few tourists visit. famed for its abundant fishing, and unparalleled scenery, it was a grassy oasis, alot warmer than all our campsites so far. wed get to fish, bathe in the river, sleep out doors under starry skies, rock climb, ofcourse eat and make merry. we had imagined heaven. the drop down was a good 3000 feet. which was fine, except that meant 3000 feet back up! with Nafeeshas huge headache, Nargis' deteriorating feet, and most importantly Kamila's hyper thyroid condition, i was beginning to get seriously worried.
it was a toss up between nadir and Nafeesah climbing 6000m Mingalik Sar, while Kamila Nargis and i hung around at Shuwerth for two days, or going down to Goz Khon.
with Nafeesahs headache and nadirs escalating cold, Mingalik Sar was looking very dicey, going back with out seeing the fabled Goz Khon would feel wed been cheated - we discussed this at length - Kamila and i - and finally decided that night, Goz Khon it would be. wed give it a try - if it was too strenuous for any one, wed hire two yaks for the trip.
even so, i stayed awake for the longest time - mulling over all the negatives in my head all night. what if Nafeesahs headache got much worse, what if Kamila's heart condition got out of hand, what if Nargis simply couldn't walk any more - what if, what if, what if--- kept me awake till 3am. finally after the usual out to pee walk, under a bright shinning moon and clear crisp cold morning air, i crawled back into my sleeping bag and called it a night, too exhausted to worry for anyone anymore.
next morning Nargis refused to use a yak, up or down any trail.
Kamila barely used one for most of the walk.
Nafeesah perked up - headache a thing of the past.
on the return journey, it was me who ended up making most use of the one yak - while the second one got used sporadically between Nargis and Kamila during the two day journey.
our walk covered a huge rocky expanse of dry river bed, till we came to our first river crossing. Nargis wasn't allowed to wet her feet, so was forced to cross on the back of one of the yaks - one look at that undertaking and the rest of us opted right out of yak crossings!
with the help of our spindly legged guide and porters, all of whom proved to be a lot stronger than their looks implied, we walked across the rocky surface of the river bed, water moving at fantastic speed. we each crossed with a couple of them holding on tight on either side, guiding us through the rough spots.
once wed crossed, all of us were showered with flower petals and given some to stick in our caps - proverbial feathers for crossing so smoothly! after the endless walk on rocky plains this woke us all up and energized us for the rest of the fairly monotonous trek over more rocky expanses. we had at least two more river crossings - off came the shoes and socks and got slung across shoulders, up went the pants and right into the water with one man or two if you wanted it, right across a cold rocky fast moving river. it became easier with each crossing.
by mid day we got to Chikar - descending down a steep scree slope to this small pasture, our lunch break. a small green oasis in the middle of this arid, monochromatic landscape - the sun shinning bright and clear all day.
after a long and well deserved break we continued further to our fabled camp site Goz Khon - one more river had to be crossed, and one more large expanse of rocks had to be walked across - it seemed this drudgery simply wouldn't end. by now i was in no mood to keep pace with anyone. if Gul was getting bored out of his mind having to walk at 0 miles an hour so i wouldn't walk alone, he was out of luck - i wasn't going to be bothered by it. i simply walked as slowly as i wanted, the sun was too strong and the walk too long - finally after having sung and re sung all those telephone book songs - even taught Gul 'akay wabasta' , talked about everything i could possibly talk about, kept quiet and walked in silence for ever, we spotted Kamila, Nargis, Nadir and Imran sprawled across soft green grass - i felt like a drunk, (whatever that feels like) disoriented, malang, finding his lost tribe in the dessert. we both plonked ourselves on the welcome grass and just lay there for a while - all 6 of us relieved not to be walking on rocks or scree or at all for that matter!
we had no idea how far Goz Khon was from this junction - seemed never to materialize - but this was almost 'it'. another 5 minutes and we were there----
this ???
puny little patch of greenery??
this poky grass and shrubs with rocks all over is where we're going to sleep out doors?
wheres the river were going to bathe in? and the tons of fish were going to catch?
no wonder tourists don't bother!
'this is it everyone - this is Goz Khon the most beautiful place on earth', Gul was announcing.
(remember you 'didn't choose me?' well here's my revenge!!- is what i was hearing him say.)
once again i was only looking and not seeing - jumping to conclusions and forming opinions without scratching beneath the surface.
as we continued to walk around this small camp ground, i began to see it for the magical place that it was - the beauty whose songs Gul had been singing for months -
the jagged snow clad edges of the Karakorum's made an amphitheater right around the camp site, in the distance the wide silvery expanse of the Braldu river glistened in the late afternoon sun, the walk to which was through a long marshy expanse, interspersed with a soft hue of pink (some shrubbery that was in full bloom), huge boulders broke up the flat landscape, some so inviting you'd want to sleep on them.
a small shepard's hut sat on one side, a large boulder on another marking the boundary of the actual campsite.
Nafeesha had already been in camp for a bit - re energized she, Nargis and Nadir were off to the river with the men - already getting a head start on the fishing expedition! the others began to set up our tents and the evenings dinner got cooking.
Gul gave us a rock climbing lesson - nimble Nafeesah the first to follow him up and try it out. Nadir was next, as i watched on, debating whether i wanted to be bouldering after a long day of walking - it was too tempting to ignore - so up i went - trying to remember some of the pointers from many a moon back. felt like a piece of lead sprawled across this huge rock. i got up somehow - Kamila followed next. everyone got down, my turn came around and impatient me decided to jump the last section instead of finding foot holds and hand holds - why bother when there were short cuts.
that was it - my ticket to yak riding on the way back! i landed squarely, only to twist my right ankle nice and good. more salt and warm water wraps for Gul to deliver, even slower pace for me to walk! bummer bummer bummer bummer - i was sooooo pissed at myself!
the rest day that ensued took my mind off the twisted ankle for a bit - but the ever present pain wasn't about to let up any time soon ---
more on heavenly Goz Khon later..........

It is a Southern tradition to monogram everything from your towels to your purse. So, why not monogram your laptop bag? While you're at it, why not get a laptop messenger bag that's distinctly you and not the run-of-the-mill industrial black padded briefcase type thing that men use. B00000r-ring. I'm talking, make a statement with an exclamation mark and never let someone else mistake their bag for yours when you're at the airport terminal or the local coffee shop with WiFi.
Lime. Green.
I really needed a bag that was NOT black nor brown. Other color options are ocean or berry. If you are the more subdued type that only wants a hint of flair, you can pick a sweet laptop bag in chocolate or black with a contrasting monogram thread that still says, "I'm a woman with a laptop, and I love to look good."
The Laptop Messenger Bag from Simply-Bags (www.simply-bags.com) features easy to clean smooth micro fiber for those occasional spills at the java house. There's an outside zipped pocket with mini holders for the non-techy creative writing instruments, lip balm, and a granola bar. The inside features a padded divider pocket with velcro secure on the top which fits most laptops sizes (12 1/2″ X 15 1/2″). The outer pocket is great for a legal pad, and the latest copy of the New York Times. You could probably fit quite a few more things, but why? You have your laptop! There's an outer side pocket which will hold a typical water bottle to keep you hydrated after downing all that caffeine.
The laptop messenger bag measures 15 inches across, 16 inches deep, and 4 inches wide on the bottom. The adjustable shoulder strap ensures a great fit and keeps you hands free so you can hold your toddler's hand while crossing the street and balance that cup of mocha. The sturdy top handles enable an alternate carrying position. This cute bag keeps your laptop baby safe and secure while you're running amock. It comes with 3 letter monogramming in a cursive, italicized font with a contrasting thread. The largest initial is in the center for the last name. For $39.99, you get personalized style in a durable bag that will weather a windy Oklahoma spring to a wintry ice storm in Minnesota.
GLAD: Sleek design yet plenty of padding to keep my laptop safe, and the monogramming quality is excellent.
SAD: The orientation of the bag is vertical which hangs low at the bottom when you want the zippered opening at an accessible height. I'd love to see an option with the shoulder straps that allows you to position the bag horizontally, like other messenger bags. Also, an extra wide and padded piece on the shoulder strap would make it more comfortable.
You can purchase your laptop messenger bag directly from Simply-Bags.com. You can order personalized tote bags for a savings of 10% with code dolly. Happy shopping!

Bed bugs are increasingly resistant to chemical pesticides, and the most effective way to exterminate bed bugs is thermal extermination. The temperature in the room is increased to lethal levels for bed bugs, and all areas that may be harboring bed bugs including mattresses, furniture, clothing, and carpeting will be treated thoroughly to ensure extermination.
Heat treatments:
If you suspect a bed bug infestation in your home or commercial property, contact us today for a consultation.
Bed bugs have been a growing issue in recent years, and news of bed bug infestations are getting more and more common. According to the EPA, the rise in recent bed bug infestations may be attributed to an increase in travel, lack of knowledge about preventing infestations, and increased resistance bed bugs have developed to pesticides.
It may be difficult to know whether you have a bed bug infestation, as they are very small and good at hiding. If you are allergic to bed bugs, you may exhibit signs of an allergic reaction and develop sores or welts on your skin. If you are unaffected by bed bugs, you may no show symptoms at all.
Bed bugs are tiny, nocturnal creatures, and you may not ever see them unless you look. They range in size from ¼" to 3/8" long and are red or brown in color. They tend to stay close to their food source, and hide in the seams of mattresses, in the edges of carpeting, in bed frames, in window and door casings, and other cracks or crevices where they can hide.
They also leave behind trace of their existence, and you may see rusty or reddish stains, dark spots similar to a marker spot, or tiny eggs or eggshells.

Is Roethlisberger More Clutch Than Brady and the Rest of the NFL?July 20, 2009
Ben Roethlisberger's game-winning touchdown pass to lift the Pittsburgh Steelers over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII has sparked debate over whether Ben Roethlisberger is more clutch than Tom Brady and, in fact, the most clutch quarterback in the NFL.
After all, Ben Roethlisberger already had more game-winning drives in the fourth quarter or overtime than any other quarterback since he joined the league in the 2004 season.
As a fan of neither, I'm more than happy to watch from the sideline as Steelers and Patriots fans duke it out, but I've long believed two things about being clutch in the NFL.
A one-game performance, regardless of its importance, does not make player clutch. A player's total body of work makes him or her clutch.
Two, the classic game-winning touchdown-drives statistic is an incredibly flawed measure.
The most obvious flaw with game-winning touchdown drives is that it does not account for a player's success rate. I would much rather see a quarterback succeed in four out of five opportunities than succeed in five out of 10.
If you play in more close games, you will have more opportunities whereas if you blow out teams and/or find your own team getting blown out, you will have fewer opportunities.
Another problem with game-winning touchdown drives is that quarterbacks get punished when their kicker misses a field goal, or their defense is unable to sustain a last-minute lead (think Brady and Kurt Warner in the last two Super Bowls).
Finally, game-winning touchdown drives fail to discern between successful drives when a touchdown was required and when a field goal would have sufficed. It's much more difficult to lead a successful game-winning drive when your opponent knows you need a touchdown.
Given the unavailability of a sufficient measure for clutch quarterback play, I decided to create my own.
The first and most important thing is that this new measure must be a success rate, rather than a tally of successes. Therefore, I not only considered successes but also failures.
Next, I defined what it means to succeed and fail. Remember, I pointed that simply pulling out the win is not a sufficient definition of success.
So, rather than looking at the final score of the game, I focused on the result of individual drives. Considering that game-winning drives are harder to engineer when a touchdown is required, drives were considered in two distinct categories.
Did the quarterback lead his team to a field goal attempt or a touchdown when tied or trailing by three or less points?
Did the quarterback lead his team to a touchdown drive when trailing by four to eight points?
If a quarterback leads his team to a field goal attempt when trailing by four to eight points or scores a touchdown without a successful two-point conversion attempt when trailing by eight points, the drive was considered a half-success.
In order to be fair to quarterbacks, any drives that ended on a failed run (not performed by the quarterback) of one yard or less were thrown out. Additionally, any drives that ended as a result of another player's fumble were discarded.
Moreover, to be fair, any drive beginning with under a minute remaining on the clock was thrown out.
In order to separate clutch drives from plain old regular drives, I had to determine a clutch period of the game. The fourth quarter and overtime is a popular time period, so I decided to use that timeframe.
I would have liked to narrow the time period down further to later in the fourth quarter, but it would have led to an insufficient sample size.
In order to consider the drives when a touchdown is required along with the drives when a field goal will suffice, I used the following method.
A quarterback's success rate in each category was compared based on how far above or below the league average it was.
Using relative success rates put each category on equal ground and allowed them to be used to create a single success rate by averaging them together.
I weighted the relative success rates according to each category's percentage of total clutch-drive opportunities for the individual quarterback.
As for the scope of the data, I used all regular season and postseason games played in the past four seasons from 2004-2008, which is Ben Roethlisberger's career.
I set a minimum standard for which quarterbacks could be included based on sample size. In order to be counted, a quarterback must have had at least 10 clutch-drive opportunities when tied or trailing by three or less points and at least 10 clutch-drive opportunities when trailing by four to eight points.
That standard left me with 37 quarterbacks.
The top-five quarterbacks in combined success rate were Peyton Manning, Brady, Eli Manning, Brees, and Roethlisberger.
Peyton Manning received the No. 1 ranking based on having the best success rate when a touchdown was required to tie or take the lead and the third-best success rate when a field goal was enough.
Brady received the No. 2 ranking based on having the second-best success rate when a field goal was enough to tie or take the lead and the fourth-best success rate when a touchdown was required.
Eli Manning received the No. 3 ranking based on having the second-best success rate when a touchdown was required to tie or take the lead and the seventh-best success rate when a field goal was enough.
Brees received the No. 4 ranking based on having the fourth-best success rate when a field goal was enough to tie or take the lead and tying for the sixth-best success rate when a touchdown was required.
Roethlisberger received the No. 5 ranking even though he was the only top-five quarterback to rank outside of the top 10 in either category with only the eleventh-best success rate when a touchdown was required because he had the best success rate when a field goal was enough tie or take the lead
Jay Cutler and Philip Rivers both made the top 10, ranking sixth and
10th, respectively. Both ranked much better when a field goal was enough to tie or take the lead than when a touchdown was necessary.
The seventh, eighth, and ninth positions in the top ten were occupied by some rather unlikely quarterbacks. Aaron Brooks, Brian Griese, and David Carr filled those spots, respectively.
There were some notable quarterbacks with combined success rates below the league average.
Jason Campbell, Chad Pennington, Tony Romo, David Garrard, and Dante Culpepper were within five percentage points below the league average.
Brett Favre was within ten percentage points below the league average.
Kurt Warner, Jeff Garcia, and Donovan McNabb were more than ten percentage points below the league average.
For full details, see Table A at the end of the article.
In order to see if early drives in the fourth quarter were possibly turning the clutch measure into merely a measure of scoring, I compiled the numbers again excluding any drives that started with four or more minutes left in the fourth quarter.
As I mentioned earlier, shrinking the window of qualifying drives in the fourth quarter dropped the sample size, especially in the case of some quarterbacks.
To keep all the right people (e.g. Brady), I was forced to accept any quarterback as long as he had at least three drives when tied or trailing by up to three points and two drives when trailing by four to eight points. This gave me 46 quarterbacks.
Peyton Manning maintained his No. 1 ranking, and Brady, Eli Manning, and Roethlisberger all stayed relatively firm—though Roethlisberger did slide just outside the top five to sixth place.
Just as before, Roethlisberger was much more successful when a field goal was enough to tie or take the lead than when a touchdown was required. In fact, the difference became even stronger.
Roethlisberger was successful on 10 out of 12 drives when a field goal was enough to tie or take the lead, which maintained his first-place position in that category.
However, Roethlisberger was only successful on one out of seven drives when a touchdown was required to tie or take the lead. That gave him a success rate that was below the league average, ranking him 31 out of 46 eligible quarterbacks.
Perhaps the Cardinals should have gone for two with a lob to Larry Fitzgerald. While the Steelers wound up scoring enough points to win the game either way, there is no telling what affect that one extra point might have had on the drive considering the numbers presented here.
Rivers jumped all the way to second place, and the unlikely Griese moved up into the top five thanks to a 100-percent success rate on three drives when a touchdown was required to tie or take the lead.
Garrard moved out of below-league average territory and just missed the top 10 at 11th place, while Cutler dropped out of the top 10 but remained reputable and in the top 15 at 14th place.
Brees plunged all the way from fourth place to 31st place with a combined success rate below the league average.
Carr and Brooks fell out of the top 10 to 18th and 20th place, respectively, while Favre moved up to just slightly below average with his combined success rate.
Warner, Pennington, Romo, Campbell, Garcia, Culpepper, and McNabb all remained below the league average.
McNabb was ranked particularly poorly, though, ranking above only Alex Smith, Damon Huard, and Trent Dilfer despite retaining a fairly decent sample size of ten drives when a field goal was enough to tie or take the lead and six drives when a touchdown was required.
Matt Hasselbeck and Carson Palmer, who were top-15 quarterbacks resting above the league average when using the entire fourth quarter, joined the others below the league average.
For full details, see Table B at the end of the article.
Are there any conclusions we can make?
Roethlisberger, Brady, and Eli Manning are indeed clutch enough to warrant the reputations won by their Super Bowl heroics, though Roethlisberger seems to lose quite a bit of that "clutchness" when his opponent knows he has to score a touchdown.
Peyton Manning, Rivers, and Cutler are underappreciated in this regard. They are clearly not just quarterbacks who can be counted on to pile up pretty stats; they can also play well with the game on the line.
On the other hand, some other notable quarterbacks like Warner and Romo do seem to deserve their reputations for being able to put up the numbers but not being able to win close games.
I would say that McNabb and Garcia haven't earned themselves a strong reputation for being either particularly clutch or particularly likely to blow it with the game on the line, but according to both variations of this measure, they belong in the latter category.
Brees, Palmer, and Hasselbeck are harder to define. Which data set do we believe? Did early-fourth quarter drives inflate their success rates with drives that didn't really belong in clutch territory? Or did throwing out those drives leave us with too little of a sample and unfair results?
Palmer had eight drives when trailing by four to eight points after the early fourth quarter drives were excluded, and he failed to succeed on every single one of them, so he probably can't cry foul.
Hasselbeck had fourteen drives when a field goal was enough to tie or take the lead and seven drives when a touchdown was required. That seems like enough opportunities to think that the second data set is more telling of his performance in the clutch.
Brees' huge drop all the way from the top five to below the league average should give us plenty of reason to tread carefully with him.
Still, Brees had a fair number of drives when a field goal was required to tie or take the lead with eight and performed below average in that category. He didn't have many drives when a touchdown was required with only three, but he actually performed above average in that category.
So is Brady more clutch than Roethlisberger after ranking ahead of him in both versions of the measure? Is Peyton Manning the most clutch quarterback in the league after finishing first with both varieties? I don't expect this measure to definitively answer those questions, but I think it gives us a better basis for discussion.
While the Super Bowl heroics of Brady, Eli Manning, and Roethlisberger seemed to merely make more obvious what we should have already known about them, there is still a big danger in relying on one memorable drive to judge players.
If the Cardinals had merely taken longer to score their go-ahead touchdown, would we all be talking about Warner's clutchness?
After all, he too would have two Super Bowl rings, and his performances in both of his prior Super Bowls were certainly better than Roethlisberger's performances in his first Super Bowl.
Yet, Kurt Warner ranks below the league average according to the numbers presented here.
Certainly, the point that success rates are more important than the aggregate number of successes cannot be stressed enough.
After all, Hasselbeck had more successful drives than Brady both when all fourth-quarter drives were included and when fourth-quarter drives that began with four or more minutes left on the clock were disregarded.
Peyton Manning had about twice as many successful drives as Brady in both of those variations of the measure, but obviously the success rates of these two quarterbacks were much closer than that.
To put this all into context, though, the idea held by many that a quarterback's fourth-quarter performance is all that matters is absurd.
I somehow doubt the Eagles are going to want to dump McNabb for Griese.
The remaining pages include the complete details of both variations of the measure for the top-15 quarterbacks in each variation. I wanted to provide all quarterbacks, but the tables won't display properly. I had to split the top-15 lists into groups of five due to display problems as well.
Everytime the article gets edited, these tables get screwed up and I have to reinsert them, so please no more edits.

The Edina girls' tennis team won the Minnesota state tournament for the 17th consecutive year on Wednesday at the University of Minnesota. They beat Minnetonka 5-2 in the class 2A team championship.
"It certainly doesn't get old. Each year is a different year," Edina coach Steve Paulsen said. "I'm just so proud of the kids for the effort they put in. Not only during the season, but in the offseason, and I couldn't be happier for the kids. They've worked really hard for this."
Paulsen has captured 18 state championships in his 22 years at Edina.
Breck School defeated Rochester Lourdes 6-1 to win the class 1A state championship.

Yesterday our family celebrated Easter in a different way than previous years. It didn't involve candy or eggs, no Easter hams with all the fixins. We spent the day at a local amusement park, Six Flags Over Texas. Arriving when they opened at 11am and leaving when they closed at 7pm...there was ALOT of walking involved. I would have NEVER been able to do any of this 97lbs ago! Returning to the world of amusement parks was a big goal and fun reward along my weight loss journey. No long afraid to visit one for fear something would not buckle on me.
Today will be an even BIGGER celebration in a much different way. I will not tell what just yet, but will be posting photos later!

CCTV at Petrol Stations Will Automatically Stop Uninsured Cars Being Filled with Fuel … http://t.co/CvOXgDe8
— InfoFeeder (@info_feeder) March 13, 2012
This sort of thing makes us uneasy. The Mirror:
Cameras at petrol stations will automatically stop uninsured or untaxed vehicles from being filled with fuel, under new government plans.
Downing Street officials hope the hi-tech system will crack down on the 1.4million motorists who drive without insurance.
Automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) cameras are already fitted in thousands of petrol station forecourts.
Currently the system is designed to deter motorists from driving off without paying for petrol.
But under the new plans, the cameras will automatically cross-refererence with the DVLA's huge database.
When a car is flagged as being uninsured or untaxed, the system will prevent the fuel pump being used on that vehicle.
Governments like to present taxation issues as "for your own good" issues. In this case, it's all about 'safety,' but gosh, look at the beneficial side-effect. There is very little real freedom, and even less privacy, in the total information society.

Sounds like some typical lads conversation down the pub at night.
Man 1: Is Selvukmar's new bird fit, like?
Man 2: She's a right dog, she is. Wouldn't touch her with a barge-pole...
So when I saw the Man marries dog headline on the BBC a few days ago it didn't strike me as being particularly out of the ordinary. Why is this one of their most read and most mailed stories, I wondered. Then it hit me.
Man marries dog. Literally.
India's been the source of quite a few From the Planet Gong stories recently, and this one perhaps takes the biscuit - the dog biscuit of course.
P Selvakumar married a female dog, hoping to atone for stoning two other dogs to death. He'd been cursed since the killings, suffering paralysis and a loss of hearing.
The wedding took place at a Hindu temple in Tamil Nadu state. The 'bride', who is called Selvi, wore an orange sari with a flower garland and was fed a bun to celebrate.
I don't get this at all. Does the guy have to consumate this marriage to cure his curse? And how does the dog say "I do"?
Another amazing little fact is that this kind of thing is not uncommon in India. Superstitious people in rural parts of the country sometimes organise weddings to animals in the hope of warding off curses.
They say every dog has its day so let's go back to that pub conversation:
Man 1: So what's Selvukmar's new wife like?
Man 2: She's a right bitch, she is.

So two people encouraged me to reach out to my ex fiancee and tell him what is going on with me, healthwise and against my better judgement, because I know how he is, I did.
He hasn't responded, he is sending my calls straight to voicemail and straight ignoring me which I already knew he would do.
I don't know why I put myself through the rejection all over again especially at a time like this.
People aren't like me. Even when I am angry, sad, disappointed, or "done" with a person I always have an open door when they are in trouble, hurting, or need someone to talk to, even when others say I shouldn't. I'm not gullible, I just have a good heart. It has been a weapon of misery but it has also been one of the reasons why people have been in my life for so long and respect me as a friend and person.
Not everyone is like me. So why is it that I am the one that always get someone's ass to kiss when I need their support the most?
O well..."never again" I say to myself...but I know that's not true. I'm too loving and too forgiving to just turn someone away who truly is reaching out.

NEWTON GROVE — Three Sampson County residents have been arrested on felony drug charges following a routine traffic stop in the northern end of the county.
Tamra Lynn Carr, 22, of 2057 Pine Ridge Road, Clinton, was charged with possession with intent to sell and deliver methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia. She also received a charge of possession of a controlled substance in jail premises.
Seth Hudson Giddens, 33, of 2060 Mount Olive Hwy., Newton Grove, was charged with possession of methamphetamine and possession of drug paraphernalia. Christopher Lee Barefoot, 53, of 11395 N.C. 50, Newton Grove, was charged with possession of methamphetamine and possession of marijuana.
A deputy conducted a stop on their vehicle as it traveled on William R. King Road, reportedly pulling it for a traffic violation. During the stop, the deputy conducted a probable cause search and located about four grams of meth inside the vehicle.
"As a result of the search, all three defendants were taken into custody and charged," Sheriff's Lt. Marcus Smith stated.
Carr was placed in the Sampson County Detention under $35,000 secured bond. Giddens and Barefoot were placed under secured bonds of $30,000.
According to the N.C. Department of Public Safety, Giddens was just convicted in March 2016 of possession of a Schedule II controlled substance, for which he received a suspended sentence and two years probation. That conviction stemmed from a December 2015 investigation. Barefoot has a previous conviction of possession of drug paraphernalia in Johnston County in 2012, court records show.

He's growing up but not sooo fast and for that I am thankful. Since he has started school we ask him everyday what his high and low points of the day are. They have been really great conversation starters. On Monday when I ask him he said his low point was PE because HE HAD TO DANCE WITH A GIRL!!! It was quite funny but I was glad to hear he didn't like it.
Well the next day, I ask him if PE was better today and he said "well it was ok. I had to dance with a girl again but I didn't cry today." My response: "Bud you didn't tell me you cried yesterday. Why did you cry?" Jake - "because momma dancing with girls FREAKED ME OUT!!!"

The Initiative culminates in The George and Ira Gershwin Critical Edition, the first scholarly edition of the complete Gershwin works ever published.
SAN LUIS OBISPO (CA) – In collaboration with the University of Michigan Gershwin Initiative, The San Luis Obispo Symphony has been invited to participate in a test performance of the new edition of George Gershwin's Concerto in F. Already scheduled as a highlight of the Symphony's Classics in the Cohan season finale on Saturday, May 6th, the new edition will be played by virtuoso pianist and rising star Ji (known widely for his recent Android commercial), accompanied by the Symphony and conducted by Maestro Rei Hotoda. The orchestra will play from a freshly printed score and parts edited by Timothy Freeze (bio available) and completed and tested by the U-M Gershwin Initiative. Tickets for the performance are available at PACSLO.org.
"The San Luis Obispo Symphony is incredibly honored to work with The University of Michigan Gershwin Initiative to test the new edition of Piano Concerto in F," said Catherine Lansdowne, Symphony Executive Director. "Gershwin's music is iconic, an American treasure and known and loved world-wide. It's exciting to be apart of this historic and important process."
Many materials for the Gershwins' works have remained in their original state since their first print, and for the past 60 years, orchestras have performed using scores and parts that are in tatters, full of corrections and cuts. In partnership with the Gershwin family, the U-M Gershwin Initiative is an ongoing, multi-decade scholarly examination of the Gershwins' music in which researchers from U-M's School of Music, Theatre & Dance, working with peers from across campus and around the world, document and analyze all of the Gershwins' cultural treasures. Aiming to restore and reinvigorate classics like "'S Wonderful," "I Got Rhythm," An American in Paris, and Porgy and Bess, the U-M Gershwin Initiative directs The George and Ira Gershwin Critical Edition, the first scholarly edition of the complete Gershwin works ever published. It will feature brand new, authoritative and critical musical scores and performance parts for all of the Gershwin works (see attached sheet on the U-M Gershwin Initiative).
There have been two performances, thus far, using the new edition in preliminary stages. The first performance was in the fall of 2016 by the University of Michigan, followed by a performance by The College of Wooster in Ohio. Each performance has resulted in editorial corrections and improvements. The performance by the San Luis Obispo Symphony will be the final review, and written notations by the conductor and musicians will be considered for the final product. Piano Concerto in F is due to be published in 2018.
The Gershwin Initiative Presentation at Cal Poly, Friday, May 5th at 3 p.m., Davidson Music Center, No. 45, Rm. 218 (Open to the General Public) Dr. Timothy Freeze, the editor of the Concerto in F score, and Dr. Jessica Getman, the Managing Editor for the Gershwin Initiative at the University of Michigan, will give a presentation on the scope of the Gershwin Initiative and The George and Ira Gershwin Critical Edition, on working with the Gershwin families and with Schott Music Publishing, on the process of making a critical score for a complex work like the Concerto in F, and on the Initiative's plans for publishing the edition. Freeze is an authority on George Gershwin's piano concerto, as well as on the works of Gustav Mahler and Aaron Copland, and is a Fulbright Scholar. Getman is an alum of the Cal Poly Music Department, and is an oboist, a film musicologist, and an expert in the critical editing of music. Both earned their PhDs from the University of Michigan, and are excited to share the university's work on the Gershwin's oeuvre and the Gershwin Critical Edition with the San Luis Obispo community. The presentation is co-sponsored by the Symphony and the Cal Poly Music Department. <music.calpoly.edu/calendar/>
Symphonic Forays, The Gershwin Initiative Presentation by Editor Tim Freeze, Saturday, May 6th, 7 p.m. in Harman Hall (must have a ticket to Classics in the Cohan season finale) Prior to the start of the concert at 8 p.m., Timothy Freeze, editor of the new edition of Piano Concerto in F, will give a presentation on the history of the piece and the process of producing the new edition. The concerto was commissioned by conductor and director Walter Damrosch of the New York Symphony orchestra, and was written and orchestrated by George Gershwin in 1925. He performed the piece in December of that year at Carnegie Hall.
Classics in the Cohan Season Finale Repertoire (Notes copy write by Alyson McLamore, PhD. Cal Poly) Another icon of American music, Aaron Copland wrote An Outdoor Overture was written in 1938 for high school orchestras and later transcribed for wind band. Many of us know—when we've lost our car keys—to go look for whatever jacket we were wearing when we were last driving. The same might be said for Aaron Copland's An Outdoor Overture: he was hard at work on his frontier-era ballet Billy the Kid when he was commissioned to write an "optimistic" overture or rhapsody for the student orchestra of New York City's High School of Music and Art (now LaGuardia High School). Copland's piece would launch a series of "American Music for American Youth." The head of the school's music department, Alexander Richter, listened to Copland play on the piano his initial sketch for the commission, and remarked that it had an "open-air quality" to it. That comment inspired the commission's title—An Outdoor Overture—while it also seems clear that Copland's concurrent western-themed ballet inspired many of the textures and motifs.
Tchaikovsky's Symphony No.4 in F minor was written for his patron, Nadezhda von Meck, at a time where his music, marriage and her patronage all intersected. In gratitude for von Meck's support, he called it "our" symphony and corresponded with only her about the meaning behind the music. While he wrote about fate, melancholy memories and marriage in the piece, his marriage had failed within two months, but the symphony had a happier destiny; a decade later, Tchaikovsky still regarded it as "my best symphonic work."
About the San Luis Obispo Symphony
The San Luis Obispo Symphony was established in 1954 by a small group of 11 musicians called the Morro Bay Community Orchestra. The SLO Symphony was incorporated in 1961 and, in its 56-year history, has grown significantly to become a leading arts institution in the community with 70 orchestra members, a large Youth Symphony program with six ensembles and a music education program that has eleven school-based programs that have touched more than 16,000 youth.
In 2016-17, the San Luis Obispo Symphony is auditioning five finalists' conductors during the Classics in the Cohan concert series for the position of Music Director. For further information, please visit slosymphony.org.
Concert programs are subject to change.

Thanks for your feedback!
Loved Mary and Rhage timeI have enjoyed Ward's visits with the original Brothers as she has continued the BDB stories. The King gave us more time with Wrath and Beth and I knew when reading The Shadows the next book would have to be Rhage and Mary's book and it only made sense to me for it to be called The Beast. When Ward made the announcement at the Q&A session for The Shadows, everyone in the room went crazy. I loved Rhage and Mary's original story and couldn't wait to see where Ward took their story. I honestly loved all the page time we got with Rhage and Mary in The Beast. With the title The Beast you would assume this would be true, but in my opinion, until The Shadows, Ward has put so many story lines in each book, the main couple didn't always get enough page time. Ward really did a great job with focus on everything going on with Rhage and Mary and did a great job with it. I'll be honest and say I felt Rhage was suffering from PMS when I read the Shadows and was afraid we wouldn't get answers to why, but we did and Ward did a very respectful job in dealing with Rhage figuring out he wanted to be a dad. As Rhage and Mary can never have children in the traditional way, the only option for them in adoption. The fact that Rhage turns into a beast that eats everything in sight and Mary is human could totally be an issue. It was so sweet to watch Rhage and Mary figure out the right path for them. The fact that Bitty, a recently orphaned young, came into their lives right now was just perfect. I will say I adored how quickly Rhage and Bitty bonded and many of their scenes together made me laugh out loud. There was also plenty of romance and love making between Rhage and Mary. I swear he has a special love for the kitchen pantry and bathtubs. Both hot and laugh out loud funny love scenes with Rhage and Mary and I loved them both. We also had time with Layla, who was impatiently awaiting the birth of the twins. I was honestly worried about what Ward would do with the twins after everything that happened in The Shadows. She had promised at the Q&A they would both survive, but I still had concerns. However, while there was much drama surrounding the early birth of the twins, I was satisfied with the outcome and absolutely loved the names. I will say I am ready to see the Layla an Xcor issue to move forward and now that the babies are here, hopefully it will be addressed in the next book. I absolutely loved all the page time we got with the original brothers and Lassiter. Lassiter as always made me laugh out loud. The Brothers all being together felt like it did when the series first started. I honestly feel like Lassiter is the humor the books needs, and do hope he eventually gets his own book, but the brothers spending time together, ins imperative to the series staying strong. My only issue with The Beast is the amount of time we had to spend with Assail. As I've heard Ward say over and over again how much she loves him, I know he will get page time in each book. However, I've come to dislike him more and more with each book. Some of his choices in The Beast made absolutely no sense to me. I really feel like with the amount to page time he received, Assail might just be the subject of the next BDB full length book. Honestly this does not make me happy as there are so many other characters I'd rather see get the focus of a book. Overall, I really enjoyed The Beast. We got plenty of time with the original brothers, and Ward did a great job with her focus on Rhage and Mary. As promised we saw Layla give birth, and it was everything I expected. I'm pretty happy with where Ward took the Brotherhood in The Beast and can't wait to see where she takes us in the next book. Review copy provided by publisherby Liza Brown on April 07, 2016

Always awesomeI always enjoy her books and this has been my favorite series. This book seemed short to me and wrapped up so quickly. It didn't have as much action and left so many threads open. I just felt like the ending was rushed somehow, but still really enjoyed it.by Starducky on May 02, 2016

The article in CNN http://www.cnn.com/2011/US/03/18/nasa.moon/index.html described Saturday's moon as a super moon. An event far rarer than the "blue moon" that occurs once every two and a half years on average.
"Saturday's full moon will be a super "perigee moon" -- the biggest in almost 20 years....'The last full moon so big and close to Earth occurred in March of 1993,' said Geoff Chester with the U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington. 'I'd say it's worth a look.'"
Of course, in Wichita, clouds covered the sky and I missed it. That is, until Sunday morning as we were driving west to come for worship at West Heights. There in the dark morning sky hung a huge moon. The dawn had hardly broken and so it was not competing with the rising sun. The moon hung bright and huge low in the western sky and it took my breath away.
While the scientific explanation of the super moon is fascinating and just the sort of thing I love to read, the experience of the moon was far more satisfying. I had been disappointed that I couldn't see it on Saturday evening. What a gift Sunday morning to see the bright and full moon in all its glory. To top it off, Sunday was the first day of spring. The days will now be longer than the nights and nature will burst forth with flowering life.
All of this is to say, that super moons and spring are a reminder to me that life is a gift and a blessing. It is easy for me to go from one task to the next and not pay attention to what is going on around. If I pay attention, I can see life breaking forth in the buds of the trees, in the greening of the grass, in the spring flowers as they unfold into yellows and reds and oranges and and pinks and purples. Even though super moons happen rarely, full moons happen each month. Sunrises and sunsets happen each day. I can open myself to the "awe-some" moments around me, or I can ignore those bits of grace that come each day.
Journeying through Lent in preparation for Easter offers me an opportunity to be more aware of Divine Love and Grace, to be more aware of the people in my life and the beauty that surrounds me. As spring continues to unfold, I am choosing this day to notice the beauty, the love and the life as it sprouts around me. By noticing these gifts I hope to remain

The pain of arthritis can make the simplest, most routine tasks seem almost impossible. This article has some great advice that you can use to deal with your arthritis. The article below shows you a few of the ways that you can cope with arthritis.
Be sure to get enough exercise and that you are doing the right kinds of exercise. People with arthritis should choose exercises that support and strengthen the joints, such as swimming, instead of exercises that damage them, such as running. Failing to exercise can also increase joint stiffness and pain.
Maintain a healthy weight. Being overweight causes stress on the joints especially in the knees and hips. This added stress leads to flare-ups of arthritis. This is in addition to the well-known health dangers of being overweight and the detrimental effects it has on your mood and energy levels. Speak with your doctor about a safe weight loss plan.
Discuss your arthritis with the younger members of your family. Small children may be concerned that you are injured if you are using wrist splints or walking aids. Discuss the condition with them at their level, so they can understand without fear and perhaps even assist you during a flare-up.
If you are suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, make sure you're getting enough omega-3 in your diet. If you're not, consider taking a supplement like fish oil to help get those levels up. Studies have shown that omega-3 has many anti-inflammatory benefits for those who suffer from rheumatoid arthritis.
When you have osteoarthritis, exercising your joints is an essential part of managing your condition. Experts have found that exercise helps relieve stiffness and keeps your joints more flexible. Stretching exercises along with light weight training can also improve your endurance and help you sleep more soundly, leading to less pain and a better quality of life.
Buy products that are specially designed for arthritis sufferers. There is no need to struggle with tasks like opening a jar, buttoning your shirt or turning a doorknob when there are products on the market designed to help you do all of those things. In fact, there are products designed to help arthritis sufferers with just about any task you can think of. Try searching online for arthritis-friendly products or check with any of the leading arthritis organizations for a list of helpful products.
Always protect your joints when you are dealing with arthritis. Keep your joints moving throughout the day and avoid holding them in the same position for too long a period of time. Always consider how to best execute a task to minimize stress to your joints.
In order to help ease some of the pain associated with arthtis in your hands or fingers, you may want to consider using topical creams. Many of these creams helps joints to relax, which helps to ease arthritis pain. Just be sure you consult with your doctor before using these creams.
Use the knowledge you have gained in this article to reduce the effect arthritis pain has on your life. You can find relief for your daily life by using these tips. Be sure to take the time to learn as much from this article as possible to benefit from it the most.

Déjà vu (French pronunciation: [deʒa vy], literally "already seen") is the feeling of certainty that one has already witnessed or experienced a current situation, even though the exact circumstances of the prior encounter are unclear and were perhaps imagined.
- Wiki -
Just now, as I was sitting on my side of the bed, using the laptop, my hubby on his side, asked me to show him how to navigate to a command that he wanted. As I showed him and looked at his laptop screen, I suddenly felt and realised so vividly that I have been in this EXACT situation before - and even with that exact webpage on his laptop. Come to think of it, it could not have happened before, because he just got his laptop yesterday. This is so mind-blowing.
And then he related to me that the same thing happened to him when he was in KL. While in a car, he saw a man walked pass, and another man calling out to that man - and suddenly he felt that he had seen this scene before, from that same spot in his car. The thing is he had not seen or met the two men before that incident.
I am intrigued. He said, maybe we could have dreamt it before.
Whether we dreamt about it, or the scene was just sitting somewhere at the back of our minds and recognised when it happens - may probably have a scientific explanation. You see, scientist have studied about space and time, and they think that space and time - is like a block of ice. Basically everything is set already, and we're just going down the passage of time. If this is so, any events happening to us, are all pre-determined already (of course as Muslims we MUST believe this, as Allah SWT always tells us - e.g. in Al-A'raf 7:37 "...Whatever has been decreed to be their lot [in life] will be theirs..."). Like a printed film being played - we're just going through each scene, according to our time.
From this, I'm thinking that perhaps some of those times when we are struck by 'deja vu' - it was probably a future scene, that was played in our mind before, either in our dreams or perhaps retrieved from some part of the mind that is actually holding our total life events.
Isn't it mind-blowing??
And it's not such an impossible idea, since scientists have actually proven through tests that life is pre-determined.
I'd like to continue on, to explain how scientists have actually proven through tests, that our life, in fact the future events of everything on earth and in the known universe is pre-determined. But it's kind of complicated and I'd like to confirm my memory before blabbering away. But I'm kind of tired right now, so insyaAllah, I MAY, if I get the mood to, talk about that in future (if that's Written :p) insyaAllah.
Meantime, for those who can't wait - go read 'Fabric of the Cosmos - Briane Greene'. It's explained in much detail there.
Good night and salam.

Moving House
I'm on the lookout for a new flat, if anybody knows of an open-plan loft space (1000+ square feet) available for under £100 a month let me know. Failing that I would settle for somewhere without idiotic neighbours with enough space to swing a cat. No need to inform p.e.t.a, it's a metaphorical cat, we call him Schrödinger and he's very happy in his box (or is he?).
We have been in our current flat for 6 months which is just enough time to get settled. My girlfriend has decided we need somewhere with a garden for the summer months and I know better than to argue. Unfortunately we now need to make the flat look presentable so that the estate agents can bring people around to see it. I hope they will be impressed with my d.i.y skills in the bathroom, I had to gaffa-tape the showerhead to the wall because I am over 4ft tall unlike whoever installed the shower.
One of the flats we have looked at had a conservatory and a driveway both of which are things I have missed since I left home. Hopefully we can find somewhere within the next month otherwise I will have to blog about life on the streets from the computer at the library.

It was bad enough when one of the FB platforms (Instagram) allowed to be posted a horrific image of a hooded BLM dude slitting the throat of a white cop (a la Jihadi Johnny, but complete with graphic slit and spattered blood) - an undeniable incitement to violence - on the one hand, and the FB censoring of criticisms of Hillary on the other. (Which was enough to cause me to close out my account with FB, in protest.) Now I see, by a mailing from the American Conservative Union, and via a whistleblower from inside the FB organization, that they routinely censor anything that has a taste of conservatism to it - and are now going to censor 'hate speech' . As defined by whom?? Oh - I see. As defined by the likes of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). Who are they? A far Left outfit. Whom the Obama administration has called on to give advice to the DHS. What kind of advice?
Take a guess.
Including guessing what kinds of categories of citizens that the SPLC warns the DHS about as 'potential domestic terrorists,' and as engaging in 'hate speech':
Patriots. Constitutionalists. Second Amendment supporters. Ron Paul bumper sticker displayers. Veterans. Christians. 'Secure the Border' advocates…
I could go on, about all the crap going on in our nation today, from the Overthrow crowd, and as orchestrated from both the far Left and the far Right (with the same nest of vipers at the top of the pyramid of power, pulling the strings). But let me cut to the chase.
Too many citizens don't realize that we are in a war. For, this isn't just about 'politics as usual'. These assholes are engaging in a takeover of the country.
An attempted takeover.
I don't want to give them even a smidgeon of a sense of accomplishment. The hour is late, yes. And they have scored some victories. ('Refugees' ensconced amongst us in many of our communities, with weapons caches handy; illegal alien hostiles 'guarding' many of our power plants; military power underneath our feet and on our shores and borders, waiting for The Call; etc.) But they ain't seen nothing yet, in the way of reaction to their little enterprise, for a totalitarian New World Order, to be ruled over by these wretched little pissants.
A message to you effing assholes:
You may have been able to take over Russia, in the guise of the Bolsheviks. But you here are up against
our country.
America is back.
And just in time, it would appear, from many angles.

Just got these back from old negatives.
Some of these pictures I have never seen.
Such as this one, taken about 1956.
Can't figure out why we are so dressed up for a picnic at the park.
Who do I look like? I see a little of my son Logan in me, and also my granddaughter Cami.
How about this classic taken at Familiy Camp in the summer of 1965The twins look about 6 weeks old, if that.
btw, the little very blonde girl up front was not one of ours...that's Peggy's friend Gina Morrison. Also, the red head in the back must have been Ray Wardell.
How did we keep those babies from freezing at night? We lived in a tent for a week!
Below is stylin' Robin in 1966 wearing her very homemade looking dress. Where did Mom find time to make clothes with 7 children and pregnant with #8.
Another 1965 picture.
I remember the one below very well.
We all spent a week (or was it a few days?) in Palm Springs at a hotel owned by my grandma's sister. This was the first and only time I remember that we got to play with our 2nd cousins.
Robin and Peggy are in the very center of the front row. John and Mom behind them. Richard to the right of Mom and I'm to the right of Richard.
Where were the twins? Were they not born yet?
It's 1959 below. Richard and John, and me holding Robin.
My mom would refer later to those days as "gentler times"
This is a more familiar picture to me.
Johnny, my mom holding Robin, Richard, and me.
Why does John have girls shoes on?
I have more to show in a day or so...
