New anchors selected for FAMU TV-20s Live at Five Newscast
Four new anchors and an alternate have been selected for Florida A&M University TV-20's Live at Five Newscast. The news anchors are Ashley Carnegie, a senior broadcast journalism student from Bradenton, Fla., and Brittney Terrell, a senior broadcast journalism student from Atlanta, Ga.
The live newscast will air at 5 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays, and "Week in Review" featuring students in the advanced TV news class will air on FAMU-TV 20 at
7 p.m. on Fridays.
"My position as one of the main news anchors is important to me because it gives me a chance to challenge myself, be creative, and report news that will be beneficial to people," said Terrell. "I know that if I do the work I love and it completes me, the rest will come."
Oldine Monestine, a senior broadcast journalism student from Miami, was selected as an alternate anchor.
"This symbolizes the start of my journey to success," Monestine said. "Television has power as many people are influenced by what they see and hear. If I can utilize that power to make people care about important issues, real issues, factual issues, then my purpose in life will be fulfilled. My ultimate dream is to be the face of Caribbean television where I can help people of Caribbean descent, especially Haitians, receive pertinent news that is relevant to them."
Senita McRae, a senior broadcast student from Atlanta, will be the weather anchor. Alexis Blackwell, a senior broadcast student from Fayetteville, Ga., will serve as the sports anchor.
Broadcast journalism students this semester also will debut a news magazine show entitled "Paradigm" under the direction of Kenneth Jones, an associate professor and award-winning filmmaker.
"It's a more in-depth, investigative show about news issues including the Florida Presidential Primary on January 29," said Jones.
The show's producer is Brent Hatchett, a broadcast journalism student from Detroit. FAMU student anchors for the show will be Driadonna Roland, a broadcast journalism student from Detroit, Maya Franklin, a broadcast journalism student from Denver, CO., Maria Osler, a broadcast journalism student from Ypislanti,
MI, and Monique Mitchell, a broadcast journalism student from Miami.
FAMU-TV 20 is an educational access channel operated by FAMU's School of Journalism and Graphic Communication. It reaches more than 80,000 households via Comcast.

The skunk who lived in the beanstalk trunk had a bushy tail that was bigger that a bush. He was the one who kept the animals awake, when everything else in the glade was hush. Really, he wanted spots instead of stripes – but had no choice – he practised his singing with a squeaky voice. He exercised daily around the beanstalk and the animals all ran away when they saw him come for a walk. he skunk who lived in the beanstalk trunk, wobbled somewhat – everyone thought tha he must have been drunk, when he landed on a mushroom with a "CLUNK !". The skunk who lived in the beanstalk trunk didn't take a bite, but took a chunk. As the beanstalk grew, the skunk tucked into some mushroom stew. The skunk who lived in the beanstalk trunk, was really a strange old fellow – he didn't much care for black and white, and would have preferred to have been yellow. Perhaps, red would have been a better colour – or even blue, to make his fur seem fuller.

Crowds of anarchists, anti-fascists and others clashed with police in Paris after early French presidential election results suggested Marine Le Pen would make it into the final round of voting.
Police fired tear-gas to disperse the demonstrators and officers in riot gear surrounded the Place de la Bastille.
French newspaper Le Monde reported several hundreds protesters threw bottles and fireworks at police.
One of the organisers reportedly told the crowd to protest "against Marine and against Macron" and added "whatever the results are, we will not recognise them".
Riot police reacted by charging at the protesters, some wearing balaclavas and black clothes, and trying to contain them in the Opera area, Le Parisien reported.
At about 9pm local time, the protesters moved to the Boulevard Beaumarchais, where they reportedly smashed shop windows, bus shelters and the windows of police vehicles.
Police authorities in Paris are advising motorists to avoid the area around Bastille.

Thor Halvorssen has gained esteem and admiration around the world due to his human rights activists for several years after he began his career at the time when he was a student, he perplexed the already established activists with his knowledge as well as his passion. Halvorssen began his career as an activist while he was still a student of the University of Pennsylvania when he began his work his aim was to assist his father to free the political detention that was against the law in his home country of Venezuela. He has also witnessed his members of his family being targeted as a result of the political decision and denied their human right and freedom on several different ways.
One of his life changing events is when he witnessed the 74 days when his father was a political prisoner and the shooting of his own mother while she was taking part in a political demonstration that was against the rule of Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez. Due to his efforts, he has gone to start his own activist's group that is known as Human Right Foundation that id under the leadership of Gary Kasparov a Russian activist. The Human Right Foundation does not focus on working in the democratic countries but rather focus their efforts and their works in countries where the oppressive regime has denied it, citizen, their human rights and universal freedoms.
During his involvement in work of the activists, Thor Halvorssen has made a choice to be an ally with a group that is fighting the evils tyrants in the world, such group includes "Pussy Riot" of Russia. Though it is not common this to witness human right activists bring their health on the line when they are making all the efforts that they can to make their efforts known to the world, Halvorssen has ability to take great risk as witnessed in a trip that he took to Vietnam to interview a political prisoner of more than two decade. The reasons for a visit to Vietnam were discovered by the authorities and he and his camera operator were viciously attacked by the authorities in an efforts to take the tape of the interview. Thor commitments to human right activism can be seen through his work.

You have to see Cosmos now, if not sooner
When I first visited the US in 2005, I couldn't believe my luck when I saw the DVD box set of Carl Sagan's Cosmos: A Personal Voyage sitting on the shelf in Fry's. It featured an introduction by Ann Druyan (Carl's widow), where she discussed how much of the work was still accurate, an addendum after each episode to highlight changes in knowledge and understanding, and was going for US$100 (~£65). I grabbed it without a second thought.
I'd have happily paid twice that for this 13 hour masterpiece on DVD. I value it that much.
While idly paging through Amazon's Recommendations to me at lunch time today, I saw a re-mastered version of this box set had been released to the UK market. And the price: under £16. That's for a box set containing 5 DVDs and 780 minutes of one of the best scientific, philosophical, optimistic and future-thinking works of the 20th century.
If you don't have it, do yourself a favour and buy it now: Cosmos DVD box set (Amazon UK).
And while you're there, please give some thought to Wonders Of The Solar System on DVD format or Blu-ray format (Amazon UK; under £13 and under £16 respectively). In my opinion, Brian Cox is the worthy successor to Carl Sagan as a brilliant communicator of science, particularly astronomy. Even his sense of wonder and awe at the majesty of the universe is the same.
Watching either of them at work is inspiring.
One Voice in the Cosmic Fugue II
Following on from my previous quote from Cosmos, here is another quote. This one is talking about the paradox of the complexity and simplicity of a cell:
If we plunged through a pore into the nucleus of the cell, we would find something that resembles an explosion in a spaghetti factory — a disorderly multitude of coils and strands, which are the two kinds of nucleic acids: DNA, which knows what to do, and RNA, which conveys the instructions issued by DNA to the rest of the cell. These are the best that four billion years of evolution could produce, containing the full complement of information on how to make a cell, a tree or a human work. The amount of information in human DNA, if written out in ordinary language, would occupy a hundred thick volumes. What is more, the DNA molecules know how to make, with only very rare exceptions, identical copies of themselves. They know extraordinarily much.
Yet again, the final sentence strikes me as a wonderful turn of phrase, particularly as I read everything Carl wrote with the memory of his voice and its peculiar tempo playing in my head.
The Human Genome Project was only half-way through mapping the human DNA when Carl died in 1996. The Project ran from 1990-2003 and, just as we once did with hieroglyphics, we are still only just tapping the surface in deciphering what it means nearly ten years later (also see the extensive Wikipedia entry). Since this initial, mammoth breakthrough, many more donor genomes have been sequenced — it seems to be a growing industry.
And as for Carl's estimate of the size it would take in print form, the original genome has subsequently been printed into 119 bound volumes, containing all of the three billion base pairs. Though I imagine it would make rubbish bedtime reading…
One Voice in the Cosmic Fugue
I've recently begun reading Cosmos by Carl Sagan (Amazon|UK), which is well overdue since the accompanying TV series has been my favourite piece of television since I was in primary school.
While reading Chapter 2, "One Voice in the Cosmic Fugue," where he's talking about evolution using his work with Nobel laureate H.J. Muller (discoverer of X-ray mutagenesis) and Drosophila melanogaster fruit flies as an example, a paragraph just jumps out at you:
The secrets of evolution are death and time — the deaths of enormous numbers of lifeforms that were imperfectly adapted to the environment; and time for a long succession of small mutations that were by accident adaptive, time for the slow accumulation of patterns of favorable mutations. Part of the resistance to Darwin and Wallace derives from our difficulty in imagining the passage of the millennia, much less the aeons. What does seventy million years mean to beings who live only one-millionth as long? We are like butterflies who flutter for a day and think it is forever.
What a magnificent turn of phrase. It sums up what we know of artificial and natural selection, underlines the breakthrough of its realisation, and wraps it into a beautiful philosophical illustration.
Knowing the TV series as I do, I'm looking forward to many more stand-out pieces such as this during my journey through the Cosmos, as it were. If you're good, I may even share them with you…
It's that time of year again…
As a godless heathen, many religious people that I know and love expect me to treat events such as Christmas not only as a "normal day" but to be positively antagonistic towards it, and seem surprised that I'm happy to give gifts and participate. While it's true that last Easter I did (and will continue to) poke fun at one of the popular myths surrounding it, with the exception of religious privilege, none of that really matters to me.
The origins of such celebrations doesn't mean that I don't appreciate or enjoy the human and relationship aspects of them. With Christmas* — particularly now I live in the northern hemisphere, where the seasons give it sense — I enjoy the symbolism and generosity of giving and receiving gifts and the knowledge that it's the half-way point of the winter season, as marked by the shortest day. And but for seasonal thermal lag, it's all downhill from here and the promise of spring is just around the corner.
So whatever your beliefs or philosophy, I wish you and those you love the best of the season this way: Reason's Greetings!
* Or Yuletide, Saturnalia, Hannukah, Dongzhi, Dies Natalis Solis Invicti, Malkh, winter solstice, or even the modern Festivus, Kwanzaa and the unusual HumanLight.

"If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch…
…you must first invent the universe." -Carl Sagan
The time between posts here is an unfortunate side-effect of having to study like mad for the archaeology course I'm doing that is rapidly coming to an end, and numerous projects I'm either doing or starting. Never enough time in the day — particularly when you have to work a day job and maintain a social life, too.
And I'm trying not to just fill the posts with random gibberish or "cool stuff wot I found on the internets" — unless you're okay with that? (Seriously, please let me know).
So, doing just that I thought I'd take a moment to post something to do with my hero, Carl Sagan. YouTube is a wonderful medium not only for the inevitable popular (and normally copyright-infringing) snippets from popular films and TV shows, but also for historical pieces that are hard to get and for mashups and other creative exercises.
And this is one of the latter — a brilliant homage to Carl Sagan featuring none other than his brilliant British counterpart, Stephen W. Hawking:
Carl Sagan – A Glorious Dawn (feat. Stephen Hawking)
It's just amazing, isn't it? Maybe I'm just a big girl's blouse, but I'm not ashamed to admit it brought a tear to my eye.
I can only convey my appreciation to the tribute's creator, melodysheep, and recommend that you check out his website, Colorpulse.
A mote of dust suspended on a sunbeam
As you should know by now — as I've quoted him often enough — Carl Sagan is my hero. Here's something beautiful, humbling and inspiring from a lecture he did in 1994, two years before his untimely death:
Hat tip to irReligion.
Have I told you about the dragon in my garage?
Every now and then one comes across something that illustrates a certain point supremely well. And when it's written by one of my personal heroes, I have to share it. It's probably an excellent allegorical response to works such as C.S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia, which many understand are in themselves an allegory for Christianity. Not to mention new age beliefs, other religions, and other forms of belief.
The Dragon In My Garage
Carl Sagan
"A fire-breathing dragon lives in my garage."
Suppose (I'm following a group therapy approach by the psychologist Richard Franklin) I seriously make such an assertion to you. Surely you'd want to check it out, see for yourself. There have been innumerable stories of dragons over the centuries, but no real evidence. What an opportunity!
"Show me," you say. I lead you to my garage. You look inside and see a ladder, empty paint cans, an old tricycle–but no dragon.
"Where's the dragon?" you ask.
"Oh, she's right here," I reply, waving vaguely. "I neglected to mention that she's an invisible dragon."
You propose spreading flour on the floor of the garage to capture the dragon's footprints.
"Good idea," I say, "but this dragon floats in the air."
Then you'll use an infrared sensor to detect the invisible fire.
"Good idea, but the invisible fire is also heatless."
You'll spray-paint the dragon and make her visible.
"Good idea, but she's an incorporeal dragon and the paint won't stick."
And so on. I counter every physical test you propose with a special explanation of why it won't work.
Now, what's the difference between an invisible, incorporeal, floating dragon who spits heatless fire and no dragon at all? If there's no way to disprove my contention, no conceivable experiment that would count against it, what does it mean to say that my dragon exists? Your inability to invalidate my hypothesis is not at all the same thing as proving it true. Claims that cannot be tested, assertions immune to disproof are veridically worthless, whatever value they may have in inspiring us or in exciting our sense of wonder. What I'm asking you to do comes down to believing, in the absence of evidence, on my say-so.
The only thing you've really learned from my insistence that there's a dragon in my garage is that something funny is going on inside my head. You'd wonder, if no physical tests apply, what convinced me. The possibility that it was a dream or a hallucination would certainly enter your mind. But then, why am I taking it so seriously? Maybe I need help. At the least, maybe I've seriously underestimated human fallibility.
Imagine that, despite none of the tests being successful, you wish to be scrupulously open-minded. So you don't outright reject the notion that there's a fire-breathing dragon in my garage. You merely put it on hold. Present evidence is strongly against it, but if a new body of data emerge you're prepared to examine it and see if it convinces you. Surely it's unfair of me to be offended at not being believed; or to criticize you for being stodgy and unimaginative– merely because you rendered the Scottish verdict of "not proved."
Imagine that things had gone otherwise. The dragon is invisible, all right, but footprints are being made in the flour as you watch. Your infrared detector reads off-scale. The spray paint reveals a jagged crest bobbing in the air before you. No matter how skeptical you might have been about the existence of dragons–to say nothing about invisible ones–you must now acknowledge that there's something here, and that in a preliminary way it's consistent with an invisible, fire-breathing dragon.
Now another scenario: Suppose it's not just me. Suppose that several people of your acquaintance, including people who you're pretty sure don't know each other, all tell you that they have dragons in their garages–but in every case the evidence is maddeningly elusive. All of us admit we're disturbed at being gripped by so odd a conviction so ill-supported by the physical evidence. None of us is a lunatic. We speculate about what it would mean if invisible dragons were really hiding out in garages all over the world, with us humans just catching on. I'd rather it not be true, I tell you. But maybe all those ancient European and Chinese myths about dragons weren't myths at all.
Gratifyingly, some dragon-size footprints in the flour are now reported. But they're never made when a skeptic is looking. An alternative explanation presents itself. On close examination it seems clear that the footprints could have been faked. Another dragon enthusiast shows up with a burnt finger and attributes it to a rare physical manifestation of the dragon's fiery breath. But again, other possibilities exist. We understand that there are other ways to burn fingers besides the breath of invisible dragons. Such "evidence"–no matter how important the dragon advocates consider it–is far from compelling. Once again, the only sensible approach is tentatively to reject the dragon hypothesis, to be open to future physical data, and to wonder what the cause might be that so many apparently sane and sober people share the same strange delusion.
Fantastic, isn't it? Using his renowned ability to instruct and correct kindly and sympathetically, and without the frustrated emotion and insults that many of us succumb to, he manages to illustrate and educate this point brilliantly. A true humanist, skeptic, educator and ambassador for science and reason.

Hi all
I began the 12 week challenge (it will be a challenge for me!) yesterday. I want to lose around 25lbs to get down to a healthy weight.
I have always loved food but managed to keep my weight at a sensible level. However,my dad died last year and I began comfort eating. I put on around a stone and a half in a year or so and want to lose this . Food became a huge comfort for me and I just ate as and when I wanted to....
However the only problem now is that I just can't stop thinking about food! Literally all the time,I'm thinking about chocolate,chips etc and all the other yummy things that I want to eat!
Does anyone have any tips on how to stop this?! I've tried doing something to distract myself but it never lasts long.
Thanks all

It's time we become channels for God — Alf James
Alf James reflects on preparing our hearts for the It's Time national day of prayer in Bloemfontein on Saturday.
All who gather before the Lord God Almighty at the "It's Time" National Prayer Day on April 22nd outside Bloemfontein should not only come together humbly in worship, but with love-softened hearts in anticipation and ready to accept of Him, so that we can give in blessing what we have received.
In quiet time on Wednesday morning the Lord laid it on my heart that if we are gathering to pray for peace, righteousness, goodwill, respect, love, generosity, obedience, reverence for the Lord and for Him to reign in our nation; we must be ready to receive these very attributes from Him in His Son's name through His Holy Spirit, so that we are able to extend them to South Africa.
Becoming the prayers we pray
We are not only going to gather in one body to pray for our nation, but to become the prayers we pray to the Lord — through Him reflecting the attributes we pray for back to us, empowering us to extend them to whoever He places in our paths.
It is up to all of us who gather in prayer for the nation to be the prayers we pray, which is only possible by first receiving what we pray for through God's grace then being instruments for His Holy Spirit to use in Lord Jesus Christ's name in the service of His Father's will being done in South Africa as it is in heaven.
We are to be channels through which the Lord's giving and South Africa's receiving takes place and His kingdom is extended across the width and breadth of the nation wherever we plant our feet, wherever we look, speak and act in our daily lives as mothers, fathers, children, students, teachers, workers, employers, managers, sportspeople, artists, musicians, priests and prophets.
It's time our hearts are softened
"It's Time" our hearts are softened — sanctified by our faith in our Holy Father, our love for His Son and our obedience to His Holy Spirit working through us — ready to receive the Lords will and give of His grace and truth, so that He is known and experienced throughout South Africa, not only as the God of our creation but of our salvation.
We are to gather on April 22nd ready for the Lord our God to prepare us by His grace to be: His lights in the darkness of these end times; and instruments of use by His Holy Spirit to remove the guilt of the land and restore right relationship between our nation and our God, as a bride for the bridegroom.
Zechariah 3:7-10 Thus says the Lord of hosts; If you will walk in my ways, and if you will keep My command, then you shall also judge My house, and likewise have charge of My courts; I will give you places to walk among these who stand here.
Hear, O Joshua the high priest, you, and your companions who sit before you, for they are a wondrous sign; for, behold, I am bringing forth my servant the BRANCH.
For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon the stone are seven eyes. Behold, I will engrave its inscription, says the Lord of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.
In that day, says the Lord of hosts, everyone will invite his neighbour under his vine and under his fig tree.
Ephesians 3:20-21 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

The Pope Francisco asked attendees of World Economic Forum it carried out in the suica city that "do not forget the poor" and urged them to create businesses using advanced technologies to "create decent work for all" technologies.
in his message published today on the eve of the World Economic Forum in Davos, the pontiff said the "technologization" of global and national economies has resulted in "fewer opportunities for successful and decent employment."
"There is a clear need to create new forms of business activity, while fostering the development of advanced technologies, are also able to use them to create decent work for all, sustain and consolidate social rights and protecting the environment. it is man who must guide the development technology, without being overcome by it, "said Francisco in the text written on December 30 but given today by the Holy See.
" Do not forget the poor! This is the main challenge that you have, as leaders in the business world ", sued major employers in the world.
" Mourn for the misery of others does not mean just share their sufferings, but also and above all, to realize that our own actions are one of the causes of injustice and inequality, "said the Pontiff to those gathered in Davos.
" As I have pointed out many times, and I repeat now gladly, business activity is `a noble vocation oriented to produce wealth and improve the world for todos`, especially` if you understand that creating jobs is inescapable part of their service to the good común` "he added, citing Francisco his encyclical Laudado si`.
"As such, it has the responsibility to help overcome the complex crisis of society and the environment, and fighting poverty. This will make it possible to improve the precarious living conditions of millions of people and bridge the gap that leads to many injustices, which erodes the fundamental values of society, such as equality, justice and solidarity "demanded too.
"the dawn of the so-called 'fourth industrial` revolution have been accompanied by a growing sense of inevitability of a drastic reduction in the number of jobs. Recent studies conducted by the International Labour Organization indicate that, at present, unemployment affects hundreds of millions of people, "said Francisco in the letter.
" The financialización` and `` tecnologización` global and national economies, there have been major changes in the field of work, "lamented the Holy Father.
in that sense, put the emphasis on some consequences as" fewer opportunities for meaningful employment and worthy, combined with the reduction of social security, are causing a disturbing increase of inequality and poverty in different countries, "alarmed the Pope in that direction.
Finally, in the letter to Klaus Schwab, president WEF executive, Francis renewed his "best wishes for the success of the next meeting in Davos"

Entire Village Volunteers to Leave Their Homes So Wildlife Can Flourish
What once used to be a thriving farming community in India, teeming with people and daily activity, is now something closer to a ghost town, at least when it comes to humans that is. All 200 families that used to live in the village of Ramdegi in central India's Tadoa-Andhari Tiger Reserve made the decision to give their land back to nature. Part of an ongoing effort by the Indian government to reduce conflict with wildlife, the reserve is now free for a plethora of life to flourish.

A call for expressions of interest in establishing up to four use-inspired Hubs took place earlier this year.The Hubs form part of a programme to develop robotics and AI that can be deployed in extreme environments, that has been identified as a key area of the Government's Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund (ISCF). The ISCF is a strategic element of the Government's Industrial Strategy that aims to ensure that the UK continues to be one of the best places in the world for research and innovation.The Government has committed £93 million of funding for the robotics and AI in extreme environments programme through the ISCF, which was announced in the Budget of April 2017.A key element of this investment is the £42 million research Hub competition, which is being managed by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).EPSRC recently invited expressions of interest from the research community which were assessed by an international panel of experts. Eight bids have been invited to prepare a full proposal by 24 August 2017.Hubs will develop robotic solutions to enable safer working environments in the thematic areas of off-shore energy, nuclear energy, space and deep mining, and open up new cross disciplinary opportunities which are not currently available.As a strategic investment these will be national Hubs delivering internationally leading research and we would encourage any potential partners to contact the relevant bid directors directly to discuss opportunities as they develop their full proposals.

Working in an unpleasant domain can have a negative effect on your efficiency, paying little respect to what number of others are in that same environment. At the point when the unpleasant environment incorporates inappropriate ergonomics, it can likewise bring about physical and mental issues for workers. Concentrating on enhancing working environment ergonomics can lessen the anxiety representatives experience amid the common work day.
Working environment ergonomics takes a gander at the legitimate and physical parts of the workplace to outline an arrangement to re-design the workspaces, procedures, and procedure instruments to help expand representative solace levels. The principle goal is to decrease worker wounds and word related risks inside of the work environment while taking a gander at approaches to help individuals make the most of their work. Studies have demonstrated that when representatives are agreeable in their work environment, there are less instances of truancy and the quantity of regular separates go. When you diminish the quantity of perils, medicinal costs are diminished, and the event of representatives phone in debilitated are brought down. This all prompts an increment in efficiency.
By lessening pointless and ungainly stances will diminish the time it takes to finish an errand. Fitting office ergonomics enhances body movements and perceivability, which will as a result enhance not just the measure of work finished amid the workday however the nature of function also. Lewis Barbe is a specialist on ergonomics, having wrote the American Society of Testing Materials Ergonomic measures. For his dedication to open wellbeing, Lewis was simply regarded by the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society by being elevated to Emeritus status inside of the general public.

Animal trainers have goals for every training session. They repeat skills already mastered by the animal and introduce new skills. They break complex skills down into smaller steps. They "Set The Animal Up for Success."
With my children, who are very young, I generally had no goals at all with them. I tended to "wing" it and simply made up goals or lessons for them along the way. If a learning opportunity presented itself, than I took it.
After reading this book, I started to think of spending my time with my children with a goal in mind. My one on one time with my children would become "training sessions." Because my children are so little (1 and 3), the goals for each "training session" are small. With my 1 year old we spent 15 minutes working on her sit-to-stand skill and her standing without holding on to anything skill. She has not mastered it yet, but we are working on it.
My 3 year old loves to paint. Most of the time I simply let her paint whatever she wants while I prepare dinner or clean the kitchen. But a few days ago I sat down with her and showed her how to trace numbers with her paints. For various reasons, she does not have the small motor skills and hand strength right now to draw with a pencil. But, I still want her to learn how to form the numbers and letters. After a few tries, she was able to trace the numbers and letters I wrote with paint. As an adult, I know she won't use paint to trace letters, but at this point I was simply pleased that she was learning the shapes of letters and numbers.
I am hoping that if I treat my time with my children as "training sessions" a few times a day - only ten or fifteen minutes at a time - I will be able to teach them more. I will be able to see their progress. They will build skills in a systematic way which raises their self esteem and confidence.
This post was inspired by the book "What Shamu Taught me about Life, Love and Marriage" by Amy Sutherland.

Hello Girlies. As a reminder, I'm writing 31 life lessons to our daughters. In the event I'm no longer here to tell them, they are written for them to read, giggle and follow (hopefully). We are talking today about life lesson #17. It's simple enough. Right? Be early or on time. That also means, don't be late. Again, it sounds simple. For some, this is the challenge of a lifetime. Girlies for you, I hope Mr. Rosey and I are demonstrating the value of being on time.
But…. why am I late sometimes? Hmmm…. I know when I'm late, it's usually because I want to do one more thing – fill Lucy's bowl with water or transfer a load from the washer to the dryer or clean up the dirty dishes or make one more bed or…. and the list goes on. For me, I need to remember that all those tasks will still be there later and none of them are of critical importance. None is as important as the people I am meeting!
What happens when I'm late? I need to stop and think about the impact of being late. At its most basic level, it's inconsiderate to be late. It's selfish to be late. I'm saying, by my action, that I'm more important than the person I am meeting. It's disruptive to walk in late. I end up missing the beginning of the movie and can't get popcorn. I miss the train. I'm rushed and stressed and now wear a grumpy face. I drive too fast, which isn't safe, because I'm hoping the green traffic light gods will be on my side and I'll be on time. And the perils of being late list goes on.
Not a lot of good things surround being late. So Girlies, just be early or on time. It's better for you and the people you're meeting will appreciate it too. And you'll have time to get popcorn at the movie theater. Simple.

CORPORATE DEVELOPMENT SPECIALISTS, INC., PLAINTIFF-APPELLANT,v.WARREN-TEED PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., A SUBSIDIARY OF ROHM & HAAS COMPANY, DEFENDANT-RESPONDENT
Conford, Collester and Labrecque.
Per Curiam
[99 NJSuper Page 494] Plaintiff appeals from a judgment setting aside service of process and dismissing its action against defendant on the ground of lack of jurisdiction of this State
[99 NJSuper Page 495]
over the defendant, which is a foreign corporation not registered here.
Present here is a fairly closely balanced question of mixed law and fact as to whether defendant's contacts with the State of New Jersey, both including and apart from those pertaining to the cause of action asserted, are such as to satisfy federal due process requirements for the assertion here of in personam jurisdiction against a foreign corporation. We have concluded that the factual record made in the Law Division is inadequate; efforts by us to elicit further factual information in the course of this appeal have yielded incomplete and inconclusive information; and the interests of a sound determination of the important jurisdictional question presented call for a remand, the taking of plenary proofs and the making of findings of the basic facts, as hereinafter directed. In view thereof, the present discussion of the law and facts will be limited.
Defendant is a Delaware corporation with its principal place of business in Columbus, Ohio. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of Rohm & Haas, a foreign corporation authorized to do business in New Jersey, but operates entirely independently of it. It manufactures and distributes pharmaceutical products, some in New Jersey (about $100,000 of sales to New Jersey purchasers out of a gross of about $6,750,000, according to a post-argument affidavit). Three full-time sales solicitors work for defendant exclusively here (out of their homes) on a commission basis. Orders are subject to confirmation in Ohio, and goods are shipped from Ohio directly to the purchaser. Some of defendant's sales in New Jersey emanate from orders by mail or telephone directly from customers. There are no offices, warehouses, or other employees in New Jersey. Defendant's products are advertised in professional periodicals circulating in New Jersey, and through brochures which it sends physicians in this State.
Plaintiff is a New Jersey corporation engaged in the activity of business-brokerage, with principal office in Newark. Its present action is for the unpaid balance of commissions
[99 NJSuper Page 496]
allegedly due it from defendant on a written agreement to secure the sale of a subsidiary of defendant situated in Michigan.
Service of process against defendant in this action was effected by registered mail to defendant's Ohio office pursuant to R.R. 4:4-4 (d), which so permits as against a foreign corporation, "subject to due process," where it has no officers or agents, or registered office, available for service in this State.
In view of the remand we are now ordering, we shall not here discuss the merits of a complaint by plaintiff that the trial judge failed properly to exercise his discretion in declining to give plaintiff the opportunity to adduce additional proofs on the argument of the motion to dismiss after previous adjournments thereof.
The dismissal by the trial court was based solely on the ground that in an action against a foreign corporation it is an absolute prerequisite for jurisdiction in the forum state that the cause of action has arisen out of or resulted from the activities of the defendant within the forum. The court held that the cause of action on the "retainer agreement" sued on did not arise from any activities of defendant in this State, and therefore jurisdiction was lacking. As authority, the trial court cited Note, 47 Geo. L.J. 342, 351-2 (1958) which has been favorably cited in several recent decisions of our courts, including one by our own court in Higgins v. American Soc. of Clinical Pathologists, 94 N.J. Super. 243, 249 (App. Div. 1967), reversed on other grounds, 51 N.J. 191 (1968). Read superficially, the Georgetown Note might appear to indicate that jurisdiction over a foreign corporation can be based only on a cause of action arising from activities of the defendant within the forum state, but, as will appear presently, this is a proposition so obviously mistaken that it appears highly probable that the author was positing the applicability of that requirement (Rule "2" in the excerpt from the Note, as quoted in 94 N.J. Super., at p. 249) on a state of facts where the "contact" in
[99 NJSuper Page 497]
the forum state relied on is an isolated or occasional-type act or transaction, as distinguished from substantial or ...

For the No.5 Bus get off at Hunter's Tryst, just across the road from Morrissons. Then walk back a little the way the bus just came from, and take the first road on your right (Tryst Park). Follow the road as it bends left then right, then immediately take a left, heading towards Swanston Road. Take a right onto Swanston Road, then follow it across the bypass and into Swanston. The Pentlands National Park car park is to the left of the golf clubhouse, go through the car park and you will find a footpath leading through the trees. Follow it up the hill and through some cottages, then go through the kissing gate after the cottages and take the left-hand path heading straight ahead of you along the edge of the golf course. Please be respectful of golfers teeing-off on the course and remain quiet as you walk past.
Term Time Trekking (September through May)
The ponies are at Swanston Farm, EH10 7DS, in the Pentlands.
Please remember that the walk from the car park to the ponies takes ten to fifteen minutes, while the walk from the bus stops takes up to half an hour. You must ensure you factor this in to your travel plans, as if you are more than 20 minutes late your trek may be forced to leave without you and you will still be charged.
If you are travelling to us by CAR:
From the centre of Edinburgh: Take the A702 from Morningside towards the bypass. Before reaching the bypass, turn right onto Oxgangs Road at the traffic lights. Once on Oxgangs Road, take the second left onto Swanston Road. Cross the bypass and park in the public car park for the Pentland Hills Regional Park to the left near the golf course. From this car park, take a foot path through the trees, head through some cottages and a kissing gate. Take the left hand path and this will take you right to our field! Please be respectful of golfers teeing-off on the course and remain quiet as you walk past.
If you are travelling to Edinburgh from further away:
Turn off the bypass at Fairmilehead and turn north towards Edinburgh. Turn left onto Oxgangs Road at the traffic lights and follow the instructions as above.
If you are travelling to us by LOTHIAN BUS (No. 4/5/15(A)):
You can take either the No. 4 towards Hillend or the No. 15/15A towards Penicuik. Both buses go from the centre of Edinburgh at St. Andrew Square and run regularly. The stop to get off at in both cases is called Snow Sports Centre (Swanston Drive) and is the stop directly after the bus has crossed the bypass. If you press the button when the bus is going around the roundabouts above the Bypass, you can't go wrong. From the bus stop, cross the road and head up the track marked with a green sign post for Swanston Farm. The drive will take you past the Lothianburn Golf Club car park and between golf courses. Once you reach a set of houses, turn left uphill past the golf course to reach our field. The walk is an easy 15-20 minutes, and already has great views of Edinburgh! Please be respectful of golfers teeing-off on the course and remain quiet as you walk past.

There are different colored cows. Brown cows, white cows, pink cows (in Farmville, at least). And there are many different, but beautiful, skin colors that are caused mainly by the sun, which has some sort of effect on it. But regardless of what color skin we are, we are all equal. The Bible tells us so in 1Corinthians 12:13. Whether we are Jew or Gentile, or in this case, black, white, Hispanic, oriental etc., we are all in the same Spirit.
There is an overwhelming amount of hate and racism in our culture. I have heard many jokes that show disgust to other kinds of people, such as "Why are black people good at basketball? Because their knee grows," or, "How do you find the population of Mexico? Throw a penny down the street and watch how many people chase after it." I have also heard comments saying that Asians don't have souls. Now let me go over how stupid this is. I honestly don't see what's wrong about Africans being good at basketball; that's an excellent thing. Asians were made in God's image also. And stereotyping Hispanics by making fun of their poverty is exactly the same thing as making fun of whites being poor.
Like 1Corinthians 12:13 states, we are all one in Christ. God commands us to love others. In John 14:15, Jesus tells us that if we love Him, we will keep His commands. In John 15:12 and 1John 4:19, we are called to love others as Jesus loves us. We are supposed to show compassion for every single person, including those of other "races". That is an important part of what it means to be a Christian.
Followers of Christ must love others unconditionally. Whether someone is German, Italian, Brazilian, Russian, Korean, or African; love them like Jesus. We are all humans, regardless of race, nationality, or skin color. The color of our skin does not make us superior to anyone else. If we were to say it did, that would be just like saying a red box is supreme to a blue box; that statement is ridiculous because they're both boxes. The same thing applies to the "races". There is only one race-the human race.
John 3:16 says that God so loved the world that He gave His only Begotten Son. Notice the use of the word world. God so loved the world, not God so loved the whites or God so loved the Australians or God so loved the Indians or God so loved the blacks. God so loved us, the world. In His eyes, skin color has no meaning, other than the fact that we are all created by Him which makes our skin color good; we are all His beloved children. Don't forget the name of this blog: agape. Agape is loving someone with no strings attached. And yes, that also includes those of different skin colors. Remember what I said earlier: there is only one race-the human race.

China: minister wishes for domestic innovation, supports inventive copycats
A minister in China's government has expressed his support of domestic innovation while simultaneously suggesting that knockoff products should be encouraged.
Yang Xueshan, vice minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), is reported by Chinese media as having said that the "innovative elements" of copycat products should be protected and encouraged. Yang made the remarks at a government press conference on IP enforcement. News stories so far have not acknowledged Yang's separation of original components from whole fake products in general.
"Yang was not defending copycat practices," stressed Lucy Nichols, Nokia's global director of IP rights, reacting to the comments. "It is clear that he believes that the copycats need to pay for IP rights owned by others. I believe that he was merely recognising that there are, in some copycat products, additional 'innovative elements' that could conceivably be entitled to IP protection."
This is a more difficult argument for a minister to make - not least because the general public and the media often lack a deep enough understanding of intellectual property. It is not clear from news reports or government releases whether Yang was addressing the public or business, or both. But his speech did acknowledge that manufacturers should pay for using others' intellectual property.
Danny Friedmann, an IP rights consultant in China and author of IP Dragon, supports Yang in this, but disagrees with his reported statement that knockoff products should not be labelled as piggybacking on another's intellectual property without proper assessment. "If you base your innovation on existing proprietary technology or design or a brand, it is piggybacking," said Friedmann. "That does not say that the innovation is not of a high standard or not sorely needed. If you steal paint and canvas and then paint a beautiful piece of art, you are both a thief and an artist. Yang wants to stress only the latter."
So the debate over China's approach to domestic innovation rolls on. As observers analyse the proposed indigenous innovation policy, considered by many members of the international IP community to be an unreasonable protectionist measure, it will surely pick up pace.

I've been tagged
1. Dive: EXTACY. I love scuba diving. Learned to swim before walking, a total water hog. Swam year round, synchonized swimmer, speed swimming, snorkeling, and then diving. I plan every vacation by first asking 'how's the diving there?'
2. Blue: My pool room at my old house. It had a blue felted pool table (get it, pool room) in it so I sponge painted two of the walls with blue colors. It looked pretty freakin' good!
3. Apple: Cider. We just got back from a 3 day mini holiday. Went to Sedona, Oak Creek, and Jerome. In Oak Creek, there are a bunch of apple orchards and this one road side stop where they sell organic apple cider. It is like a meal in itself. Like drinking an apple.
4. Hot: tub. Stayed at my parent's time share in Sedona and there is a jacuzzi tub in the bathroom. It's more of a jacuzzi then a tub with jets all over and seating for 2. I was in that thing at least twice a day and it was so hot the entire bathroom would steam up. It wasn't a good one unless I was purple when I got out.
So hmmmm. Now I need to play and tag someone else. Let's go with MIL Doris (and Ez but I know Doris does all the posting), and SIL Millicent, and NikkiNix. Your words will be:
1. jewels
2. fizzy
3. corner
4. unicorn
These may be silly words but I wrote whatever came to mind. Keeping it interesting, right?!?
Anyhow, how a pretty good vaca. Of course, Aunt flow packed up ALL of her stuff and came along for the ride, whining and complaining and being a total pain. And I mean total. Cramps like someone ripping the womanhood right out of me.
I commented to hubby that this is insult to injury. I mean, we've gotten the news we're not pregnant, a.g.a.i.n, and now this hellacious period. I have always had pretty nasty ones, but always thought it was ok because it served a purpose. What's the point now when I can't get pregnant??? Jaysus! Just makes it more annoying. Like a daily reminder of hahaha I don't work....... I digress.
So the three of us did our best to have a nice 'romantic' time. We tried and tried to kick AF to the back seat or leave her on the side of the road but she continuously caught up with us over and over again. Hiking? There she is. Romantic dinner? Yep. Looking at amazing art in Jerome? You guessed it. Five days and the bitch still hasn't let up. Starting to piss me off (0:
Obviously I'm doing pretty ok. As long as I don't talk about it out loud with anyone other then hubby. We've been discussing everything from foster care to adoption to decorating the nursery. I confided that I will never really give up the quest, and will still be looking at that calendar every month for awhile, and he didn't say much. I am pretty sure he already knew. As long as we move on I figure I can still hold on just a bit. Just in case~

That cracks me up! Aunt Flow is just totally annoying! You're right, she's insult to injury.
And having her tag along during vacations is such a pain!
- Bea said...
The ultimate third wheel.
Hope to hear you feeling a little physically better soon, at least.
- NikkiNix said...
FOr goodness sakes :P
It is good to hear you did have a nice vacation. I hope that 3rd wheel leaves soon.
- Hoping For A Baby said...
AF... To come with you, completely uninvited, on your vacation is just too much! It's like she knows which buttons to push, and then pushes all of them like a spoiled brat! What a b*tch!
- Lara said...
First off thanks for your comment on my blog! Second of all, I think that having a Hellacious period after a medicated cycle isn't that uncommon is it? It sucks though, I feel for ya my fellow zonie! Glad to hear you're coping. :)
- Bea said...
Hey steph, I noticed your comment on my blog today, and I just wanted to clear up. I'm taking a break at the moment, but we're still (presently) planning on coming back to IVF next year (or whenever the "dread" goes away). So my situation is a bit different to yours.
I'm sorry - I know how good it feels to have a buddy going through the same things at the same time, and I hope you find one. But I can only try (and fail) to imagine where you're at just now.
I still wish you happiness and would love to see where your journey takes you next.
- sube said...
Sounds like a nice vacation, except for your uninvited guest. Hrumph. The organic apple cider sounds downright heavenly. I grew up in New England, so this time of year makes me homesick for crisp apples and brilliant fall color.
Good luck with the "what's next" conversations. I know they can be difficult in all kinds of ways.

« Ah … so many pedestrians, so little time. » Robin Williams
The French may not be the craziest drivers in Europe, as I would put the Portuguese and Bulgarians well ahead, but I would definitely put the French drivers in medal contention.
France still has one of the highest road fatality rates in Europe, and the Gironde region of France (Department 33) where we live, has one of the highest road fatality rates in France, making it one of the most dangerous places to take to the roads.
It appears to be mainly the result of a mixture of speed, small winding country roads, alcohol consumption and the fact that amongst young drivers in particular the levels of testosterone are seriously greater than the driving skill.
For visitors to this region there are some things that are important to remember.
1. The Girondines do not keep to their side of the road on bends.
It is as though cutting a left turning bend is their way of laughing in the face of death. I have become so committed to hugging the verge on a right turning bend that I am more of a hedge trimmer than the local Council. It is not unusual to suddenly be faced with a crazed housewife taking up the entire available road as she wrestles with her steering wheel on the way to collect her children from school.
2. In the main they drive cars with engines that were designed to run a Husqvarna sewing machine.
Despite this lack of available power to get them out of trouble if needed, they will overtake you on a blind bend, with the rubber bands driving their engine stretched to breaking point. The fastest moving car on the French freeways is generally the 1.2 litre Renault Clio which is basically an aerodynamically enhanced cardboard box on wheels. Their top speed is meant to be about 150 kph with a strong tailwind, but this doesn't seem to stop their owners believing that there is a secret Ferrari engine under every Clio hood, despite the fact that at high speed they sound more like a nest of angry bees.
3. They love to tailgate.
Tailgating is their way of letting you know that they have run out of cigarettes and have to get to a Tabac before they close, or that they have to get to lunch before the restaurants start turning everyone away (See Vive Le cheap and cheerful posted Sept 9, 2010 ). The only way to get rid of them on a winding road is to throw a full packet of Gauloises out your window.
4. They will throw themselves in to roundabouts despite oncoming traffic.
On roundabouts the law states that you have to give way to the traffic already in the roundabout. There are some exceptions such as Place de l'Etoile at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris where you have to give way to trafic entering the roundabout, as well as anyone who has a mattress strapped to the roof of their car or anyone on a motor scooter who is carrying more than 4 baguettes. Despite these specific rules there is also a belief that you always have the right of way on any roundabout as long as you have not actually made eye contact with any other oncoming driver.
5. Many French drivers are SAGs (Self Appointed Gendarmes).
I was once chased by a taxi driver on a freeway after I had passed him at about 140 kph in a 130 kph zone. He immediately sped up to over 160 kph so that he could catch up to me, and so that as he went past me, he could make « slow down » gestures at me out of his window, after which he dropped back to normal speed content in the knowledge that he had done his SAG duty for the day. Oncoming cars will quite often flash their lights at you not because in a moment of camaraderie they are warning you of a speed trap, but because they have decided that they have been given a mandate to slow down all other traffic on that day.
6. Pedestrians don't automatically get right of way on zebra crossings.
Pedestrians are not necessarily safe on a zebra crossing. This will depend on whether the driver is running late and/or how attractive is the pedestrian. It can also depend on whether the pedestrian happens to be carrying a hunting rifle with telescopic sights.
On top of this it is worthwhile knowing that one of the most dangerous times on the roads is 11.30-12.00 when everyone is rushing towards lunch. The French are not big breakfast eaters, a normal breakfast being a coffee and a cigarette (for a big breakfast add a croissant and a second cigarette), so by about midday their blood sugar levels are dangerously low, and the headlong rush to the one main meal of the day can make for some agressive driving.
It is also prudent to keep off the roads during school drop-off (8.45-9.00)and pick-up (16.30-16-45) times, as the ability to give birth gives mothers of young school children the right to do whatever they want in an automobile at these times.
When we first moved to France we thought that we would never get used to the local driving conditions, but after nearly a decade here, we have become just like everyone else.
If you visit the Gironde keep an eye out for me. I will be flashing my lights on the bends at middday.

Three years ago volunteers organized a beginner's triathlon in Durham designed for "nontraditional athletes" (translate – couch potatoes and fathletes). The event was summed up this way: "If you think you have a shot at winning this race then this race is not for you."
The event, The Grueling Triathlon of Doom, will be held on April 17 at 8:30 am, and is a five lap swim, five mile bike, and 1 mile walk. The route for the event will be announced this spring; however registration closes February 28, so visit the website and register now to take part in one of Durham's unique events.
Known for its great food, great historic sites, great art museums, and great sports, among other great things, Durham is perhaps a little less well known is its penchant for quirky festivals, not surprising in a community known for its genuine, engaged, and unpretentious citizens who are proud of the community in which they live.
Consider just a handful of these "lesser-known" festivals held in Durham each year: Harley Davidson Bike Show and Chili Contest (now that's a hot combination!); Backyard Beer Festival (Durhamites have become quite the beer connoisseurs); Holy Ghost Weenie Roast ('nuf said!); and the wildly popular Beaver Queen Pageant.

Marine biology is the study of life in the oceans and other saltwater environments such as estuaries and wetlands. All plant and animal life forms are included from the microscopic picoplankton all the way to the majestic blue whale, the largest creature in the sea and for that matter in the world.
|Marine Sea Creatures
In Marine biology there are some sub fields which are as follows:
- Deep-sea ecology, here we learn about the technology of equipment needed to explore the deep sea to greatly help the study of this largely unknown space in the sea.
- Ichthyology, is the study of fishes, both salt and freshwater. There are approximately 25,000+ species of fishes out there for us to discover.
|Marine Sea Creatures Fish
- Microbiology is the study of microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, protozoa and algae.
- Fisheries and Aquaculture is where we learn to protect biodiversity and to create sustainable seafood sources because of the world's dependence on fish for protein.
- Environmental marine biology, the study of ocean health which is important for scientists to determine the quality of the marine environment so that they could ensure water quality is sufficient to sustain a healthy environment for all the marine sea creatures.
|Marine Sea Creatures Environment
- Marine mammology is the study of cetaceans, which is families of whales and dolphins, and pinnipeds (seals, sea lions, and the walrus). Their behaviors, habitats, health, reproduction, and populations are all studied here.
- Marine ethology, here is where behavior of marine animals is studied so that we could understand the animals that share the planet with us. This is also an important field to help species whose habitats are threatened by man or natural phenomena.
And also to learn more about marine sea creatures which will take plenty of our times in the future, these are all the previews of what's coming next on this very blog about marine sea creatures:

Hi Heidi,
So many, many hugs, though I know they won't make anything better.
How far along is Sidney's kidney failure? One of my cats has kidney issues and also hyperthyroid, and I was able to have her on methimazole (sorry, no idea if I'm spelling that right) and she's done all right on it. (She also has arthritis, so she's on buphrenorphine because it doesn't stress her kidneys like Metacam does). I don't know what you and your vet have gone over, but I wanted to mention it just in case, because I'd hate to have a stone unturned. Also, my vet had mentioned to me the possibility of surgery to remove the thyroid gland, though of course it would mean anesthesia. Is that possible for your Sidney, to get the thyroid under control?
More hugs,
Long or Short, Goodbyes Suck. Always.
I hate that I'm doing this again. I really, really hate it.
Had to get that off my chest. Now, for your context: This is yet another post where I have to tell you about how one of my cats is dying, and it's going to be long and gruesome. Again.
A whole host of you, bless you all, are going oh no, because you remember the last hellacious Cat Death Cycle of 2011-2, where we put down one cat for vaccine-site sarcoma, one for multiple myoloma (I'm spelling shit wrong, typing without glasses because onions in the room, font blown up to ten thousand, apologies in advance) a few months later, and then out of nowhere another for lung cancer just a few months after that. This isn't new, this game of Cullinan cat death. I just, you know, thought I'd get more than two years off.
This time it's Sidney. This special little fella.
He's our polydactyl cat, who can open cupboards with a single thumb. He terrorized Blair, the first cat to succumb to the last round of die-off, and then was terrorized by the new black kitten, Daisy, as karmic payback. He's our "BDSM kitty" who loves to be spanked. He loves my lap and a good heat vent.
He has hypo(er?)thyroid, a heart murmur, and kidney failure.
If he had just ONE of those, or just the thyroid/heart or the kidney, we could do it. We could give fluids and meds for the kidney or do this radio blasting thing for the thyroid. The radiation is expensive, and while we thought it was just that I had this whole scheme cooked up where I'd write a gay romance cat novella, give it away, and collect donations, and whatever was bonus I'd give to local shelters or some fantastic cat thing. I was all ready to go. I'd be ready for ANY of it, because I'm all about never say die, let's do this.
But the thyroid treatments/meds can't be done with kidney failure, so that will get worse, and the kidney thing is manageable but not when you have the heart murmur ready to kick out a clot which will kill him quickly and painfully. We're going to do treatment, but we're looking at anywhere from tomorrow he's gone until a year or so. It's just a matter of when and what gets him.
So he's hungry–starving, and he can't get enough to eat because of the thyroid, and I can't fix it. His kidneys are failing, and we can help that, but not stop it. We can make him comfortable, pull some tricks. But basically once again we're looking at a long goodbye. Or maybe a short one. It's the roulette wheel of death for us here. Just a matter of when we hit black.
That's it, really. I'm shamelessly using my blog to say this sucks and I'm sad. I bought a bunch of comfort food from the grocery store and all I want to do is drink the cider I bought. And I'm in here being sad because it's an easy way to tell a whole bunch of people at once and to cry in my office instead of in front of my kid. Who has gotten really good at saying goodbye to cats too, much better than she should.
I'm going to say this one part out loud because it's dumb but part of me will still believe it anyway. I have this superstition that my cats keep dying on me because they're leeching off my weird health nonsense in some mystical-Bast energetic way, and that's why they get sick and die. I have nothing to back this up except an overactive imagination and the fact that they always hang out on me or near me. So I feel like it's my fault, which is even more dumb, but there it is. Nope, saying it out loud doesn't make me believe it any less. I totally believe they would pull that shit.
Worst, though, worse even than that is that Sidney in my secret heart has always been my replacement Gulliver. My first cat, my pal through post-college nightmare, my first apartment, through dating Dan–to Gulliver's death he was annoyed with Dan and kept waiting for him to leave–Gulliver died unexpected at seven of the same death Sidney's likely to have, a throboembelism. (Can't spell that either, still no glasses, not trying.) He looks just like him, and he kind of…well, feels like him. Different but similar. I always felt like Gulliver came back to me in Sidney. And wouldn't the irony have it, but Sidney is either seven or eight, depending on how old he was when he came to us.
So now I get to feed him whenever he wants to be fed, but it won't be enough. I get to hold him and turn up the heat too high so he has all the heat vent he wants, but it won't be enough. We get to give him fluids and phosphorous binders and drugs, but we're buying time. When we leave town, he'll have to be boarded, and every time we leave the house, we might come home to him dying of a thrown clot.
I hate it. I hate that I was all ready to do whatever it takes to save him, and I can't. I hate that I have to watch him be hungry and sick. That I have to do this again. That it's this cat, this way. I hate all of it. I can't even be elegant. So I'm going to sit here and cry a minute, and then go put on a good show for my kid, until I get to go to bed and he'll curl up beside me, and I can sob until my nose and eyes swell shut, and then just get ready to do this again. A-fucking-gain.
Except I'll just get another cat, again and again, until one (or four) of them outlive me. Because I'm married with kid, but I'm still a crazy cat lady.
And now I've made you all sad too. I'm sorry.
Really fucking sorry.

You HAVE made me sad, Heidi… and cry as well. But I know all too intimately the terrible wrenching sorrow of losing a feline friend. People have chastised me for making "too much" of such a thing, for taking years to accustom myself to the vacuum of loss, and to them I say… deal with it. These are not mere interchangeable animal familiars… these are family. They're loved ones, they are in some cases our children, our best friends, and our sole support system. My heart goes out to you and Dan and Anna… I know exactly how you feel. Please let us know how it proceeds with Sidney. I'm so sorry.
Oh sheesh, I am so sorry. It's awful. It sucks. It doesn't seem fair that a being can come into your life and love you and cuddle you and be there for you and just by being alive make you happy and then die.
I had Tommy. I was a young single mom and we adopted Tommy and after my son, he was the 2nd being I loved, completely and totally with all my heart. No one else except my kid and the cat ever wormed their way into my heart. And then he got sick really, really fast and there was nothing to do and he died and he left this huge gaping wound in my world. How could I have loved him so much? He was my animal soul mate, always will be. I know that there isn't any possible way another animal could ever replace him.
I am sending you hugs and love and warm fuzzies because it hurts.
I'm so sorry, that just sucks. Our pets are part of our family and it sucks when their health starts to fail. *big hugs*
So so sad. So so terrible. So so sorry. I know how terrible it is. Thinking of you and thinking of Sid. He always reminded me a bit of Gulliver too.
I'm sorry too.
Heidi, I've lost three dogs in the past year. I know what you feel. My heart goes out to you…
I'm so very sorry, Heidi. That is truly horrible that you're having to go thru this again. I'll be thinking of you all…
I'm so very sorry to hear this. 😦
My old foster cat, Pip. had this combination of problems, but he was approx 14 years old when he came here and around 17 years old when he died last May. But he did have three relatively good years, even though his thyroid problem had been wildly out of control when he arrived and took months of juggled doses and blood tests to stabilize. I'm so sorry Sidney has so much at such a relatively young age.
If it's of any help at all Pip was on medication to treat all three conditions, albeit indirectly. I only know the UK names for the meds but this is what we had. Felimazole (Methimazole) for the thyroid condition, then Fortekor (possibly Benazepril or Lotensin) for renal failure (our vet said that although it wasn't licensed for heart problems in cats, like it is for dogs, there had been some good results in trials, and anyway it was licensed for treatment of chronic renal insufficiency in cats) and then when his blood pressure became an issue he also had Amlodipine (Istin) for that. In the end it wasn't any of these things specifically that got him. He developed a tumour on his liver and then it was just a matter of time. We decided enough was enough and made him as comfortable as possible. Tough old boy wouldn't give up and I ended up having to play God and try to get the balance between too soon and too late just right. That's the hardest bit for me. 😦
I do know that sometimes the thyroid medication is ineffective, so if you are at that stage where the operation or the radio blasting are the only options I really don't have anything else, except to say that I'm so very sorry you are having to go through this again.
Sending love and healing thoughts out to all of you. And lots of hugs.
My heart goes out to you. From one crazy cat lady to another with much hugs and purrs.
My Socrates lived to be 17, his thyroid stopped completely. I was able to keep him for 3 years, watching him drop from 12 to 5 pounds, always hungry, a pill every day. Finally, he slept away, but I don't think I could ever do that again. I had to ask myself, "What was the quality of his life?" Was I being selfish in prolonging his life. After he passed, I felt guilty, that maybe I had kept him alive for me rather than for him. Still not sure I can answer the question truthfully.

Few technologies are as widespread as wireless networking (WiFi), and current trends are leading away from the traditional desktop
and towards laptops, tablets and phones which depend entirely
on wireless access.
With it, though, come challenges and risks in security, stability
and performance. We can mitigate these issues and get the
best performance out of your wireless networks.
Triton Technologies will help deploy new wireless network systems, or to identify and eliminate issues with existing implementations. Don't know the difference between 802.11G and 802.11AC? Need a secure public wireless network solution for a hotel or common area? We'd be happy to help. Need to know the optimal placement for an access point? We can help with that, too.
Don't settle for off-the shelf consumer-grade network equipment that you'll need to reboot every month. Invest in comparatively-priced enterprise-class equipment and experience the difference.

What's up with the Muslims in the West? Why don't they get involved in their communites? Are Muslims really productive members in our Western society? Do all Muslims really hate the West? As my mother used to say: "If I had a nickel for every time I have been asked one of these questions, I would be a rich woman!"
Statistically, Islam is the fastest growing religion in the West (PBS). Yet, it is also the most misunderstood religion in the west. Many people think that Muslims can not be productive in a western world. That we are just destined to keep to ourselves locked tight in our own little bubbles. This is wrong. Muslims are productive. Could we do more? YESSSSSS!
Now, My purpose for posting this video is this:
To give all the non Muslims an idea of a typical Muslim in his society. To mispell some of the common myths related to Muslims (ie. we're all foreign, don't fit in, don't give back, hate the US and the West, etc).
To give all the Muslims who watch this the incentive to go out and make a difference in your community!
Comments? If they do not contain any slurs or demean anyone's way of life, religion then feel free to post them. In fact they are welcomed.
In case your connection will not allow you to see the video, here is a summary:
The video is about a man raised Christian. He lives a life on the streets as a Christian and finally ends up in prision. While in prison, he meets a Muslim and is so inspired and impressed by this Muslim that he begins studying Islam. Soon after, he converts to Islam. He feels like a new person. He works to implement Islam into his life which erases all his previous bad characteristics.
After he is released from prision, he opens up a community center (FOR MUSLIMS AND NON MUSLIMS) including a free health clinic, computer lab, classes, and job training. He also works with operation cease fire (to promote an end to violence). In addition to this, he also does gang interventions. He will sit rival gangs in a room together and have them discuss their issues.
Islam changed his life completely. Alhamdullilah, (All praise and thanks is due to Allah).

|All of us realize that there are poor people and great restaurants but what exactly is the easiest way to find out whether a restaurant is great before spending money there? Having a poor dinner is definitely a frustrating encounter but certainly a few items are for when determining which restaurant to go to to look out.
An environment is of distinction between a great restaurant, which acts an restaurant that doesn't function tasty food and employs low quality elements, and supreme quality genuine Mexican food dishes.
First, it's usually better to get tips from family and friends. Have you got friends who enjoy consuming or producing traditional Mexican meals? In that case, they could possibly identify several Asian restaurants avoid or to go to.
Cafe Ads
Ads aren't a great way to select a cafe since an ad, whether in publications, about the stereo or about the Television, simply says exactly what the cafe operator wishes it to express.
A restaurant might be advertised by an ad as "supreme quality" or as having "the very best classic Asian meals" or anything comparable, but much is it possible to trust ads? Person to person is always reliable and that's the easiest way where you need to proceed to find out when your mexican-food lover buddies possess a favorite eatery.
Formula for Jicama Corn Salad
Assist this salad alongside a beef or seafood formula or utilize it instead or like an experience of salsa. Only a little jalapeno could be put into spice it-up a little.
The next formula makes salad to assist the tastes of corn, apple, onion, and jicama are coupled with cilantro and juice for taste and also about ten individuals. Jicama is just a brittle, nice white root plant. You are able to exchange turnip if you fail to think it is.
Restaurant Reviews
Think about should you not need household or friends who appreciate traditional mexican-food dishes or if you will find no Asian restaurants near your geographical area? If so, the clear answer is simple. You may make a myriad of classic Asian meals yourself in the home. Simply to demonstrate how easy it's to create a tasty Asian formula, this is a super easy someone to begin with.
If it's nearby you may prefer to browse the diner reviews inside your local paper or go to the cafe itself. That's usually a great indication if it appears active. A clear or near- cafe that is vacant could be, but isn't usually, a poor signal. The meals mightn't be as clean and there may be a very good reason for this when nobody else really wants to eat there.
You'll require:
2 pounds peeled jicama
4 cups corn kernels
4 peeled, p- diced mangos, seeded
Salt and pepper, to taste
Steps to make it:
Blend corn, apple, the onion, cilantro and jicama put within the combination, then add sodium and pepper and toss. Provide this salad cold. It'll maintain within the fridge to get two or a time.

Offered By Independent Publishers Group
IPG is the original and second largest independent book distributor in the United States. Our innovative publisher services, aggressive marketing, and extensive reach ensure access into every imaginable channel, including gift, specialty, wholesale, and digital accounts worldwide.
The purpose of the book is to continue the tradition of excellent vegetarian food, centred on Mediterrrean flavors, served at the BRC which has always had the personal touch of the head chef in charge of the menus and that of his co-chefs: the lovely, friendly local Zulu women who have worked in the kitchen for many years to great acclaim from visitors. These ladies were taught the skills of traditional Zulu cooking from their mothers, which they then readily adapted to cooking the vegetarian cuisine served at the BRC. These women could hold their own in the kitchen of any up-market restaurant anywhere. With this book, the BRC also wanted to showcase the exquisite indigenous environment in which it is set, which has become a spiritual haven for South African and international visitors.
Paul Atkinson was born in York, England, and emigrated with his family to the sunnier climes of South Africa when he was two years old. An extensive tour of Europe enabled them to experience the tastes of that continent's rich variety of foods. Angela Shaw works on selective photographic product-design projects from her base in Durban, KZN, where she manages the KZNA Gallery for the KwaZulu-Natal Society of Arts. She contributed the photographs for the BRC's previous cookbooks. Chrisi van Loon is a senior English teacher by profession. A vegetable enthusiast and cat lover, she was the editor and coordinator of this recipe book – as she was with its predecessors, Quiet Food and The Cake the Buddha Ate. Louis van Loon is an architect and structural engineer by profession who runs his own consulting practice in Durban.

Abstract 350: Metabolism of Nitrite and Sulfide in the Aging Cardiovascular System
Jump to
Introduction: Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) and Nitric Oxide (NO) are gaseous signaling molecules that affect many pathophysiological functions like vasodilation, anti-inflammation, cytoprotection, anti-apoptosis, mitochondrial respiration and angiogenesis. These actions suggest that the relationship between these gasotransmitters could be involved in the cardiovascular aging response.
Objective: We examined the age dependent regulation of H2S and NO metabolites in mice.
Methods: Levels of H2S and NO metabolites were measured in various organs of C57BL/6J wild type mice at age 6, 12 and 24 weeks. The monobromobimane (MBB)-HPLC method was used to measure various sulfide pools. NO metabolites were measured using NO chemiluminescence. One-way ANOVA with bonferroni post-testing was used to compare metabolites between age groups. A p value of ≤ 0.05 was considered significant.
Results: In the heart, lung and kidneys there was a significant increase in total and free sulfide levels with age over 24 weeks. In the heart, bound sulfide and acid labile sulfide remained stable with age. In the kidney, the bound sulfide increased with age and acid labile sulfide remained stable. In the lung, bound sulfide remained stable and acid labile sulfide remained stable with age. In the aorta and mesenteric artery, tissue total sulfide levels decreased with age. Lastly, the ratio between total H2S versus NO significantly increased with age in the heart and kidney.
Conclusion: Our study reveals novel relationships between cardiovascular H2S and NO metabolism during aging. The increased H2S/NO ratio during aging may indicate important biochemical changes that affect cardiovascular pathogenesis.

We've been trying to come up with a template for building Javascript objects successfully as we transition from using .NET WebControls to a UI entirely written in Javascript. We came across the following interesting example of how Javascript variable scope can sometimes be frustrating and confusing.
Consider the following Javascript object definition:
myObjCreator keeps a single variable in scope, and then provides a single selector and mutator for accessing that variable. It also exposes the variable directly, and this is where the fun begins.
If you believe that variables get passed by reference when assigned to Javascript objects, you would expect to see the following output:
However, if you click the handy dandy "Result" button above, you'll see the output is instead:
What's going on, here?!?
This appears to be proof that assignment to a Javascript object is done by value, not by reference. Meaning that myObjCreator's internal variable x and the variable o.x are not references to the same internal memory location. They are different variables.
Here's another example that proves this beyond a doubt:
After assigning x to ret, we modify x to 5. Yet, when we look at ret.x, it still has the value 1. So when we did the assignment of x to ret, what was stored was a copy of the value of x, not a reference to the variable x.
Our solution to this problem is to structure our objects to address internal and external references to public variables the same way. To correct our example, we would write:
Now we get the output we originally expected.
And there was much rejoicing.
