Food allergens pose serious life threatening risks amongst a significant segment of the population in many countries and early detection can save precious lives. While such allergies are on the rise in western countries, no reliable data exist in most of the developing countries including India. Statistics on population affected by food allergy are neither accurate nor reliable since such data compilation is far and few in many countries. Probably traditional eating habits and lesser consumption of processed foods in the developing countries might be giving the impression that food allergies are far and few in these countries. No one knows for real the ground reality regarding the extent of such incidences prevailing in many developing countries. There is even a view orchestrated recently that the projected figures for food allergic population is exaggerated and the very methodologies now in use to detect allergies are not fool proof, calling for more studies in this area.
"The articles looked at allergies to cow's milk, hen's eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, fish and shellfish, which account for more than 50 percent of all food allergies. The review authors found that food allergies affect between 1 percent and 10 percent of the U.S. population, but it's not clear whether the prevalence of food allergies is increasing. While food challenges, skin-prick testing and blood-serum testing for IgE antibodies to specific foods (immunoglobulin E allergy testing) all have a role to play in diagnosing food allergies, no one test has sufficient ease of use or sensitivity or specificity to be recommended over other tests, Dr. Jennifer J. Schneider Chafen, of the VA Palo Alto Healthcare System and Stanford University School of Medicine, and colleagues, said in a news release. Elimination diets are a mainstay of food allergy therapy, but the researchers identified only one randomized controlled trial (RCT) — the gold-standard of evidence — of an elimination diet".
One of the reasons for lack of reliable information on food allergies could be the overwhelming incidence of infectious and other diseases that occur amongst the population in developing countries, especially those who inhabit the tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. Probably this has deflected any attention on food allergy cases, considered far and few in these countries. It is for consideration whether under the "unique identification number" project of GOI, information on food allergies can also be included amongst the personal details of each citizen.

The award-winning novel that appeared out of nowhere
Acclaimed translator Idra Novey's debut book 'Ways to Disappear' is a five-year secret project turned Sami Rohr Prize winner
NEW YORK — For Idra Novey, the art of translating is transporting, whether through words or actions.
"We are all translating ourselves all the time. The person you are at a meeting is not the person you are over dinner. You are translating your own self, depending where you put yourself, just like you do with a book," said Novey, speaking with The Times of Israel via Skype from her Brooklyn home.
It's an idea that goes to the heart of her debut novel "Ways to Disappear," a literary mystery that earned the poet and translator the 2017 Sami Rohr Prize for Jewish Literature.

The plot centers on Beatriz Yagoda, an acclaimed Brazilian novelist, who vanishes after climbing into an almond tree holding a suitcase and a cigar. When Emma Neufeld, Yagoda's American translator, hears about the incident she leaves her marriage-minded boyfriend and flies to Brazil to track down the author.
Along the way several characters pop up, including Flamenguinmho, a loan shark who thinks the publication of Yagoda's next book will repay her $600,000 debt. There are Yagoda's two children, Raquel and Marcus, and Yagoda's longtime, and somewhat jaded, publisher and editor, Roberto Rocha.
The idea for the opening scene sprang from a daydream Novey had one afternoon. She had to be three places at once and didn't want to be at any of them.
"And I looked outside and I thought what I would really love to do is climb a tree with my book, leave my phone at home and do this unexpected, slightly irrational thing. That image stayed with me and I think when something stays with you it accrues meaning," she said.
It works because it captures the vitality of Brazil, she said.
"People are far more accepting of spontaneity in Brazil than one would be in perhaps Boston or Connecticut. There is an openness to unexpected responses, and I think you see that in its literature too, which is part of what drew me to it," said Novey.
Beneath the plot lie questions about what it means to disappear, both literally and metaphorically; how switching language allows one to slip on a different skin, and how what is left unsaid might be more revealing than what is said.
As Yagoda's daughter says in the book, "She had no patience for the illusion that you could know someone because you knew her novels. What about knowing what a writer had never written down. Wasn't that the real knowledge of who she was?"
For Novey, the blank spaces help give the story its weight.
'The beauty of literature, why it stays with you, is because of what you intuit that makes it resonate'
"Subtext is what separates literature from any other kind of writing. If you're reading a manual for how to put together a paper airplane there is no subtext. You just follow the directions. The beauty of literature, why it stays with you, is because of what you intuit that makes it resonate," she said.
Readers will likely see shades of Novey in Neufeld's character. Both women, the real and the imaginary are Portuguese-to-English translators for cult-classic Brazilian writers. In real life Novey also translates the work of Clarice Lispector, a Brazilian writer she first fell in love with in college.
In the book Beatriz Yagoda is Jewish, something revealed ever so subtly. It was a way for Novey to explore what it means to be Jewish.
"I think when you live in a very anti-Semitic place as I did growing up in Appalachia, or as my husband did growing up in Chile, you don't bring up that you're Jewish unless you have to. You learn to be cautious," she said. "As for Beatriz, although her whole life is in Brazil, she is still seen in some way as an 'other' because her parents immigrated to Brazil from South Africa. To us as readers she is seen as an immigrant, but it is also code for 'outsider,' for 'Jewish' and that code shapes the sensibility of her writing, and her absurdist humor, as it most certainly has shaped mine."
Novey said several readers have compared the sensibility of the humor in the novel to a Coen brothers' movie, including critic Sam Sachs in the Wall Street Journal — a comparison that thrilled Novey, an ardent admirer of their movies, especially "A Serious Man."
As one of four children, Novey grew up in the Rust Belt of western Pennsylvania. She had a bat mitzvah and learned basic Hebrew, but was drawn to Spanish, largely because her parents hosted two exchange students, one from Argentina and another from Brazil.
Her interest in Spanish led her to spend her junior year of college in Chile, where she eventually moved after studying comparative literature at Barnard College in New York City. From there, she went to Brazil.
Novey met her husband, who is from a Sephardic family in Chile, on the New York subway. Five years later they married and moved to Brazil, where they lived off their wedding money until it ran out. Now back in New York, the couple and their two children spend a month in Chile each year.
She and her family speak only Spanish at home and she reads in Spanish and Portuguese nightly.
"It's a chance to shift the things you highlight about yourself. I think I'm a little easier going in Spanish than in English. I parent differently in Spanish, it's more mindful parenting. A new language creates an opportunity for self-reinvention," she said.
Having taught creative writing at Princeton University and worked with the Bard Prison Initiative, Novey encourages her students to broaden their literary diet to include authors from around the world.
'I was secretly trying to write a reckless novel that would push the genre of fiction in a direction I hadn't seen it taken before'
She worked on "Ways to Disappear" for five years, keeping the project a secret until it was sold. With an already established reputation as an award winning poet and a translator — her translation of "On Elegance While Sleeping" by Emilio Lascano Tegui was shortlisted for the Best Translated Book Award for 2010 — she said keeping her work a "covert operation" allowed her more freedom to work on a book that could set the literary world aflame.
"I was cheating on my public life, similar to the way Beatriz turns to her online poker life. She secretly gambles reckless amounts of money under her father's name and I was secretly trying to write a reckless novel that would push the genre of fiction in a direction I hadn't seen it taken before," Novey said.
"I wasn't beholden to anyone. No one asked me about it. They just asked about what I was up to as a translator and professor, as a parent and member of my family, and that freed me up to experiment in ways I don't know if I would have experimented otherwise."

We recently did the Maker Faire in San Mateo. We drove down overnight and back the same way. The craziness of doing this first event of the season inspired me to scribble (figuratively) some more Haiku;
twelve hours down the road
two hours to sleep in between
rest stop so noisy
In and out burger
french fries dipped twice in fry sauce
tums, glad to see you
expensive hotel
the bed is soft, inviting
Pay for my wi-fi?!
So many steam punks
goggles on their leather hats
I don't understand
It's sunny outside
but the wind whips cold through here
tent booms like thunder

Time for more Haiku

Album Review – Monty Are I "Break Through The Silence" (Quadnews.net)
It isn't very often that I feel I can listen to an album straight through and actually enjoy every track. However Monty Are I certainly breaks that trend with their newest album "Break Through The Silence," which was released on Sept. 22nd. Monty Are I was a band started and based in Cranston, RI under their first name, Monty's Fan Club. At the start, they were a popular ska band in the local music scene. As their name grew, they were eventually signed as Monty Are I by Island Def Jam Records and released their first official major label CD, "Wall of People," in 2006.
Along with the name change, the sound of the band also changed drastically, encompassing their past ska roots with a new, heavier edge. The end result produced an original, anthemic sound not often heard in the alternative rock genre. "Wall of People," was the first wide-spread display of Monty Are I's new sound, encompassing both old tracks from previous EPs/unsigned recordings and new songs that produce the same style of originality.
"Break Through The Silence" continues their musical innovations by utilizing heavy guitar riffs, melodic string accompaniments, and various horn parts to create an addicting set of tracks sure to be stuck in your head for hours. Tracks such as "Hope," "One In A Million," "Sand Riders Doomsday," and "Kaleidoscope" display some of the album's catchiest choruses and musically original riffs that keep the listener in anticipation of what comes next. Monty Are I's newest releases are a must-have, breath of fresh air for any fan of modern and alternative rock music.

|A production of my play, "The Dark Tower" presented by Cheverus High School
From Left to Right: Jesse Rodrigues, Heather Bridge, Zoe Leblanc, Abby Thomas
Today, I want to talk about the joy a playwright feels in seeing their work performed. After all, that's why we write plays in the first place, right?
I live and work in the state of Maine, and, even though I have 33 published plays for the youth, high school, and community theater markets published, I very rarely get to see a production of one of my plays performed in my home state, except for productions I put on myself. My plays have been performed in 43 different states, as well as in Canada, Australia, and even Prague, but, for whatever reason, I don't get a whole lot of action here in Vacationland. For whatever reason, I seem to be most popular in Iowa, Nebraska, California, and South Dakota.
So, naturally, when I learned that Cheverus High School in southern Maine was producing my play "The Dark Tower" for the Maine Principal Association's One Act Play Competition, I was thrilled!
The talented group from Cheverus won their regional competition and made it to the State's. I had the good fortune this last weekend to travel up to the state competition held at Stearns High School in Millinocket and cheer them on! I remember when I was a high school student how much I loved the one act play competition, and to know that now, all these years later, a play of mine was there at the state level, in a location I may very well have traveled to, was a genuine full-circle kind of rush for me.
First, I should say, I was a little nervous. Not because I was worried about their production--- after all, they had made it to the state competition, so I knew that they obviously had worked hard and done well. I was nervous because it's always a little nerve-wracking for a playwright to see how well their script does in competition. I wanted it to serve this group well. I wanted their decision to do my play, and work their hearts out on it, to be one that they didn't regret. And, of course, as I had never seen a high school group do this particularly challenging play, I was desperate to see if the play itself worked as a performance piece. No matter how proud I am of a script on the page, seeing if it works on its feet is a whole different story.
I am proud to say that I was blown away with what Cheverus did with the play. Their costumes, set, lighting, and sound were all fantastic, and really brought together a stage picture that captured the mood and tone of the play. It is a bit of an epic fantasy in forty minutes, and the teenage actors handled the heightened language with ease, and made it accessible. It was clear they had studied the script, and the legends it portrays with a a serious eye for detail, and had internalized the feeling and themes throughout. In short, they got it. They knew what I was trying to say with the play, and served the intentions, while also making it their own.
They made this playwright very proud.
I must give special props to the added fight choreography, which helped to break-up and change the pace of a very dialogue heavy script. Well done!
After their performance, I waited in their section of the audience to make their triumphant entrance after striking the set. I shook all of their hands. They were tired from a long day of travel, tech, and, now, the performance, but their smiles and appreciation for my support was evident, and meant a lot to me. I shook each of their hands and thanked them, and had them sign my playbill, and then let them rest. After all, it was their moment. While I wrote the play, this was their production, and I wanted their experience at states to be about them, and not about the playwright.
Their director told me that it was the first time their school had ever made it to the state competition, which made me feel good, too. Now, obviously, I know it wasn't my play that gave them the edge to make it to the state's, but, rather, their hard work and dedication, but it still felt good all the same to have my work represented there.
The other plays performing that evening were "Dogg's Hamlet", "The Dancers", and "A Doll's House". I must confess, I couldn't help but smile at the fact that I was on a bill with Tom Stoppard, Horton Foote, and Ibsen. That's something that doesn't happen for me very often.
So, once again, thank you to Cheverus High School for choosing my play, "The Dark Tower". I hope it is something you will always remember with fondness, just as I will always remember watching you perform this play that is so special to me. Your production is a prime example of why I write for teenagers, and you definitely showed the audience that theater is, in fact, a sport.
Until next time, thanks for reading my blog, and feel free to comment below, and follow me.

Largely due to who his father and grandfather are, Randy Orton was predestined for pro wrestling superstardom from the day he decided to follow in their footsteps. He made his WWE Universe debut when he was only 21 years old, and he became the youngest World Champion in history by the time he was 24. Along the way, he held the Intercontinental Championship, was a member of the top stable Evolution, and ran roughshod upon sports entertainment icons as "The Legend Killer." Things only looked up from there, and 11 more World title reigns and possibly more to come make it obvious Vince McMahon is one of Orton's biggest fans.
With all of that said, behind the scenes, Orton has been anything but grateful about his position. Generally acting more like a petulant child than an ideal employee, it's amazing how many chances WWE gave him. Although definitely talented, Orton has long been castigated by critics as bland in the ring and outright boring on the microphone, and his technical shortcomings are only the least of his problems. He's shown a serious abusive streak with drugs, fans, and coworkers all, typically showing no remorse or guilt over his actions.
Given his personality, Randy Orton doesn't seem like the type of person to express any regret over his worst misdeeds, either. That doesn't mean we can't keep calling him out for them, though. Now that Orton won the 2017 Royal Rumble and seems primed for yet another endless run as the top superstar in WWE, it might be a good time to look back on the aspects of his life and time in the business thus far and consider whether or not he actually deserves it. Keep reading to discover 15 horrible career missteps Randy Orton will never live down.
15 Stealing And Destroying A Fan's Phone
Cool as it would be if every pro wrestler in the world wanted to be best friends with their fans, the truth is, plenty of them aren't exactly people persons. Randy Orton would be high on the list of the anti-social wrestler spectrum, and he started earning his reputation back in 2007. Shortly after the 9/10 episode of Raw was taped, several wrestlers and fans happened upon a local bar in the Green Bay area. As often happens in these scenarios, the fans wanted to take pictures and hang out with the wrestlers. Most of them were amenable to the requests, including names like Mr. Kennedy, Beth Phoenix, Carlito, Cody Rhodes, and Shelton Benjamin. Unfortunately for these fans, Randy Orton was less compliant with their friendly request, instead stealing the digital camera the pictures were being taken on. Orton then ran up the bar stairs, took the SIM card out of the camera, and threw it back at the fans. Once they realized the SIM card was gone, the police were called, and Orton was forced to pay his theft victim $100 so he wouldn't press charges. We're not trying to argue Orton had to take a picture or sign an autograph, or even be outwardly nice to his fans. It should go without saying he shouldn't steal from them, though, and it makes it hard to support him knowing he'd probably do it to you, too.
14 Throwing Fireworks At His Co-Workers Car
While it's bad enough for Orton to be abusive with his fans, at least he has the vague excuse he was approached by people he didn't know. That wasn't the case when he abused Rochelle Loewen, nor was any sort of annoyance whatsoever a factor when Orton nearly killed Maria Kanellis, Carlito, and Umaga, plus any other passersby that happened to be in the area, during what he apparently reckless endangerment was a silly prank. Orton repeatedly fired fireworks in the direction of a moving vehicle with the aforementioned WWE superstars inside, himself racing down the highway to keep up with them in a separate car. Chances are, he would have blown up in the pursuant explosion as well, increasing still the potential death toll of his childishly stupid antics. Maria reported the incident during a shoot interview with RF Video, during which she also claimed Orton was constantly verbally abusive to her at the start of her career. She also understandably called sitting in a car that was getting shot at with fireworks was one of the scariest moment of her life, and it's pretty easy to believe her when she said that.
13 Bombing At WrestleMania XXV
Despite his status as a Wunderkind, it took Orton a reasonably normal seven years in WWE before he was able to reach the true pinnacle of the sport, the main event of WrestleMania. In 2009, he headlined the 25th Grandest Stage of Them All against Triple H in what on paper looks like a classic passing of the torch. It didn't quite pan out that way, though, with Triple H retaining his WWE Championship after a 23 minute slog that had most of the 72,000 fans in Reliant Stadium sitting on their hands, bored out of their minds. Triple H later blamed the problem on the fact Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker worked one of the greatest matches in company history, followed by John Cena winning his second World Championship, the combination apparently draining the crowd and making it impossible for Triple H and Orton to win them back. This match just plain blew, taking away much of Orton's momentum and making it clear Triple H's best days were behind him. Naturally, seeing how badly this failed, WWE nearly booked the same thing again not five years later.
12 Getting Mr. Kennedy Fired
Throughout the second half of the 2000's, Mr. Kennedy looked like one of the brightest new stars in the WWE Universe. His uniquely pretentious gimmick as a self-announcer was a big hit with fans, and his ring work was at least decent enough that he could learn as he became popular and turn into a strong main event talent once he was ready to get there. WWE thought he might be on his way in 2007, when he won the Money In The Bank briefcase at WrestleMania 23. Rumors indicated the push would also see him revealed as Vince McMahon's illegitimate son, although that storyline was held off and later given to Hornswoggle for various reasons. Two years later, Kennedy was fired from the company, largely because Randy Orton went to McMahon and complained that he was being dangerous in the ring. When McMahon didn't immediately react, Orton got Cena to join in on the complaint, at which point Kennedy didn't stand a chance. While Orton probably doesn't regret this at all, it still makes him look like a total jerk who actively destroys careers in an industry where everyone makes mistakes.
11 Calling Kofi Kingston Stupid Mid-Match
It would be one thing if Orton had only hurt one career with his childish complaints, and yet it was less than a year later until he nearly destroyed another. This time, he didn't even have the excuse that his victim had been working "unsafe," arguably committing a worse act in completely exposing the business by screaming at them in the middle of a match. It was January of 2010, and Orton, John Cena, and the fast rising Kofi Kingston were in a triple threat match to decide the number one contender to the WWE Championship. The finish saw Orton pin Kofi, though the two apparently had miscommunication about how that would come about. Kofi must have thought he was supposed to lose to the Punt, taking enough time to get up off his knees that Orton started pounding the mat in a childish temper tantrum. After Kofi got up and took the RKO, Orton repeatedly called him "Stupid" on air, clearly dropping an f-bomb on camera while doing so. This time around, it didn't even matter Kofi made a mistake, considering how incredibly small it was—no one even would have noticed unless Randy acted like a jerk.
10 Trashing Kelly Kelly On A Radio Show
By the year 2017, people should be aware a woman's sex life is nobody's business but her own, and believe it or not the same was true in June of 2011. Granted, given his track record with female coworkers, it might not be too surprising Randy Orton never got the memo on this one. During an interview with 98 KUPD in Arizona, the host repeatedly goaded Orton into dishing on female superstars, asking if he was method acting during his short stint with Kelly Kelly. Orton responded he "could name a few method actors in WWE. Like, ten guys." The implication here is pretty obvious, and is the sort of thing coworkers shouldn't say about one another in absolutely any profession. The worst part of it all is that the interview took place during Kelly's short run as WWE Divas Champion, thus marring what should have been the peak of her career. Orton was never publicly punished for his comments, while Kelly left the industry the next year.
9 Going AWOL From The Military
While Randy Orton's main career has been in professional wrestling, like most people, he had a few other jobs as well, some related, some not. Before wrestling, he got into a different type of service, which coincidentally affected another career he attempted after gaining fame in WWE. Immediately after graduating high school, Orton enlisted with the US Marine Corps, only to apparently change his mind about it the next year. Rather than go about that decision the legal way, he decided to simply up and leave. While most jobs wouldn't do anything other than fire you, in the military, they call this going AWOL. Once they found Orton and forced him to return to his post, he went AWOL again. There was yet another mark on his record for disobeying an order from a commanding officer. Because of these actions, Orton was tried under a court-martial and convicted, sentenced to 38 days in military prison at Camp Pendleton. He was also forced out of the Corps with a bad conduct discharge. How did this affect his later career? Keep reading…

8 Ruining Rochelle Loewen's Belongings
Not every WWE careers turns out nearly as well as Orton's, and most of the time the reasons sports entertainers fail aren't particularly interesting. Rochelle Loewen is a special case, especially consider she was only in the WWE Universe for a matter of months. Loewen's downfall was meeting Randy Orton on her first day, and committing the horrible mistake of not knowing who he was. She told Orton he was familiar but couldn't place where she knew him from, upsetting him to the point he allegedly poured tanning lotion and baby oil in all of her bags, destroying most of her belongings. WWE exec Johnny Ace approached her shortly after it happened with a big smile to ask how her day went, and once she disappointed him with the news it was pretty terrible, Ace was able to instantly guess Orton was responsible for what happened to her. Both Orton and Loewen were on Raw at the time, and perhaps due to this incident, Loewen was transferred to SmackDown by her second appearance. It apparently wasn't enough to make things right, and she left wrestling altogether barely two months later.
7 His First World Championship Reign
In the end, it's hard to imagine Orton actually regrets his first World Championship reign. He was only 24 years old when it happened, making him the youngest man in history to carry the Big Gold Belt around his waist. In the negative column, he would only hold the title for a mere 28 days, he was booked extremely weak while he was champion, and it took him another three years to reach that peak again. The downfall started the very next night, when Triple H and Evolution turned on him and started a month of beat downs where Orton always looked completely incompetent and undeserving of the top spot. That Batista would succeed where he failed only six months later made Orton seem like by far the lowest tier member of Evolution, something that has more or less remained true of his success to this day. Years later on one of his DVD releases, Orton admitted that his short title reign was largely because of his immaturity behind the scenes, stating he wasn't emotionally ready to be the company's top star.
6 His Comments About Eddie Guerrero
The sudden death of Eddie Guerrero on November 13, 2005 remains one of the saddest days in wrestling history. Eddie was so popular in the months preceding his death he was receiving massive cheers despite WWE's bizarre attempt at turning him heel, and the outpouring of love seen on the tribute episodes of Raw and SmackDown can make his fans emotional to this day. In spite of all this, Randy Orton made arguably the most offensive statement of his career only three months later during his feud with Eddie's best friend, Rey Mysterio. Mocking Rey for dedicating his success in his fallen friend's honor, Orton screamed, "Eddie ain't in heaven. Eddie's down there—in hell." Nearly 11 years after the comment was made, it still feels shockingly distasteful; the sort of thing most companies would probably fire even a top employee over. Regardless of one's own religious beliefs, it's well known that Eddie himself was a born-again Christian, meaning he likely would have taken the statement to heart. Orton was suspended for "unprofessional conduct" shortly after Rey definitely defeated him to end their feud, although surprisingly, the two incidents probably weren't related.
5 Getting Named As A Drug Abuser By Sports Illustrated
In early 2007, Sports Illustrated proved it was far more than merely sports entertainment when it broke serious news implicating dozens of athletes, many of them active WWE superstars, were purchasing illegal performance enhancing drugs from Signature Pharmacy. The company operated through the Internet, making it especially easy for people like Orton to get whatever drug they wanted anonymously and from anywhere in the world, at least until SI found out about it. Orton in particular was alleged to have illegally obtained anastrozole, clomiphene citrate, nandrolone, oxandrolone, stanozolol, and testosterone in the months between September 2004 and February 2007. He refused to comment on the situation when contact by SI, and all WWE would say is that Orton's abuses all took place before the Wellness Policy was created. In fact, the Wellness Policy was created in February 2006, meaning there was a still a year's worth of potential offenses he could have been charged with. There's actually an explanation for that one, too: WWE has caught Orton in the act multiple times without SI's help, with his first suspension likely overlapping with the time he was using.
4 Multiple Wellness Policy Failures
Living proof that the WWE Wellness Policy doesn't always end careers, Randy Orton has failed at least two drug tests without ever losing his step as a main event level star. As already mentioned, his first suspension wasn't even a Wellness issue. In April of 2006, he was caught smoking a joint backstage during a SmackDown taping. According to him, the many anger management issues he was struggling with at the time didn't help, and he was suspended for "unprofessional conduct." That conduct because a full-on Wellness Policy violation several months later in August of 2006, with another following in May 2012. He received another suspension for the Signature Pharmacy scandal, although it wasn't considered an official break of the Policy, because it didn't technically exist during all of his offenses. Had it been in action the entirety of Orton's career, he'd have four strikes on his record, and as everyone knows, it only takes three before you're out. Orton could have made a comeback by now, and might even be in a higher status than before through the classic redemption story. Instead, he's in a precarious position where if he messes up again that could be the end for him…unless WWE feels like covering it up with some bogus reason name again.
3 Nearly Appearing In The Marine 2 and 3
So, remember at the start of this list when we mentioned going AWOL would cost Orton dearly in one of his later careers? Cut to 2012, Orton is a huge star in the WWE Universe, and like several others was considering spreading his wings to acting. He almost had his shot in 2009 with The Marine 2, but a broken collarbone shortly before filming lead to his character getting recast with fellow member of The Legacy, Ted DiBiase, Jr. Chances are he wouldn't have appeared in the film anyway, because three years later he nearly starred in The Marine 3 only to again have his acting career jammed up, this time for reasons far more serious than a shoulder injury. Unsurprisingly, US Marines, especially those in the unit Orton abandoned, were outraged over the idea of him being cast as a Marine in the film. He has since starred in films unrelated to the community he disgraced, with lead roles in 12 Rounds 2 and The Condemned 2, plus smaller appearances in That's What I Am and Countdown, all produced by WWE Studios.
2 The Night After WrestleMania 29
Bombing on the night of WrestleMania is bad enough, and yet somehow the night after can be just as important. Generally taking place near WrestleMania but in a smaller arena, meaning the most diehard fans from the night before in a louder, more intimate setting, the Raw after WrestleMania has become an event in and of itself, and the 2013 version stands as one of the most bizarre and thus entertaining in history. That night, Sheamus and Randy Orton wrestled for the right to challenge The Big Show, upset the three of them lost a 6-Man tag team match to The Shield at Mania. To say the crowd didn't like the match would be a massive understatement, and that it went 15 minutes and was the epitome of Orton's bland, plodding style only infuriated them further. To make up for their boredom, the crowd chanted for whatever came to mind, including announcer Michael Cole, referee Mike Chioda, and completely random unrelated things like ECW and Randy Savage. Orton was clearly embarrassed to be involved, and it would only get worse when Big Show ended the match via DQ, earning a "Thank You Big Show" chant.
1 Continuing To Bully And Harass His Fans
Multiple suspensions, countless warnings, and a lack of acceptance by fans still hasn't prevented Orton from being the top star in WWE, so perhaps we shouldn't be surprised that he's still up to his nonsense even 14 years into his career. The latest incident occurred days before the Royal Rumble when he screamed at a fan in the gym, glossed over possibly because Orton merely yelled at a fan for asking for a picture, something he'd already done before. It was a little different in 2014 when he outright attacked a fan, posting her picture to Twitter and deeming her "Latino Ms. Piggy." Orton later argued the woman had been harassing him and his girlfriend online for some time, although this hardly justifies posting her picture to the Internet and bringing on the wrath of his 5.1 million Twitter followers. It was a matter of minutes before fans expressed their outrage and Orton deleted his Tweet, writing a new one acknowledging his mistake and saying, "the answer to bullying isn't more bullying." On the other hand, it would have been nice if he realized that before being a huge bully. Keep on being a star, Randy.

This morning we crossed the Nile for the last time to inspect the site and turn in our preliminary report on the season's work. Our early morning and afternoon rides on the river have been a pleasure – the water taxi has met us right below the entrance to Chicago House this year. Four weeks ago, this was rather challenging as the Nile was quite low and the boat couldn't pull in to the stairs. Carrying Joel's scanner six feet or so across a gang plank less than a foot wide was an adventure. But, within a few days, the water rose about two feet, and we've been able to step onto the boat from the bottom step.
The corniche on the east bank has been redesigned several times in the past few years. The newest version has two levels – the lower one will have a row of shops, but they haven't been finished yet. To the Egyptologists on the boat, the empty openings in this arcade make it resemble the Middle Kingdom porticoed tombs on the west bank.
Unfinished Arched Arcade in Front of the Hospital
Two other features on the new part of the corniche are waterfalls, but with the water is turned off and they look a bit like the wild animal habitats at the zoo. We expect a bear or a lion (or maybe a sea lion) to appear around one of the rocks any minute.
Water Feature on the New Corniche with the Water Turned Off
One fountain was turned on the other day for the opening of an African film festival that's taking place in town and it was quite charming seen from the river, the moving water sparkling in the sun. Water features have a very long tradition in Egypt (a country surrounded by desert), going back to ancient times when every palace or estate is represented with a pool inside the grounds.
The corniche is a construction site at the moment and one morning last week we found that our way to the boat had been blocked by barbed wire across the top of the stairs to the lower corniche, and a pole blocked the bottom. Every stairway was blocked in this way, but a helpful man pushed the wire down and motioned for us to step across –
we preferred to climb over the railing and hand our equipment across. By the afternoon, the barbed wire was gone, but another afternoon there was a huge pile of sand at the top of the stairs. The construction workers were mixing concrete and wanted to have easy access to water. We look forward to seeing the completed corniche next year.
After driving around the site for the last time (and the site is very large – about 7 km long), and turing in our report, we said goodbye to some people we will particularly miss, our inspector Shaimma, our reis Hassan, and our driver Mohammed. They have all been a great help to us this season, and we couldn't have accomplished what we have without them.
Joel has promised to write a blog on his work with the scanner, and Peter will be attending and speaking at the symposium this weekend. We'll also be doing periodic updates – so keep checking the blog for further entries.

The first edition of Catching the Process Fieldbus did a great job of introducing users to PROFIBUS. The second edition has a significant 'and.' Welcome to Catching the Process Fieldbus, An Introduction to PROFIBUS and PROFINET.
You cannot buy a printed version of this book (yet). But, as authorized by the author, it is now available at no charge in eBook format. Click below to download the format of your choice:
Download MOBI (for Kindle)
The book's Foreword:
To the beginner, the world of industrial communications appears as a multilayered, multidimensional, occasionally confusing mixture of fieldbuses, software packages, and media. During my twenty years of enthusiastic pursuit and promotion of industrial communications, I have become used to seeing that deer-in-the-headlights look of a newcomer to the field, and decided to see if I could take the fieldbus world, specifically that of PROFIBUS and PROFINET, and take away some of the mystery and magic that cloaks it.
My intent was not to write the definitive and comprehensive handbook on PROFIBUS and PROFINET. There are others who are far more qualified than I to undertake that task. I wanted to show that when industrial communications is understood and then installed with forethought and care, network operation can be both beneficial and painless.
To that end, we designed this book to speak to the beginner, to take that interested newbie by the hand and guide him/her through the bus route to communication success. However, this is not a how-to manual. Rather, think of it as a primer laying the groundwork for communication design, providing information for the curious to explore and motivation for the dedicated to go further.
So, we discuss BUS operations, protocol details, physical layers and networks, network design basics, installation tips and suggestions, commissioning, maintenance, plant asset management, and troubleshooting. All of these topics are designed to speak to the beginner – to take the whole of PROFIBUS and PROFINET as a fieldbus systems and spread them out for everyone to sample and to investigate.
Our hope is that you will leave this book with a firm understanding of what you will need to implement a PROFIBUS and PROFINET systems, and that you will look further into how PROFIBUS and PROFINET can help you and your organization improve safety, efficiencies, and productivity.
James Powell, P.Eng.

Special thanks to Cititel Penang for extending this food review invitation.
Cititel Penang is the sister hotel of The Wembley, which is also located nearby. Main Street Cafe is Cititel's 24-hour coffeehouse. This casual dining restaurant is right next to Zhonghua Gourmet (中华海鲜鱼翅).
Christmas ornaments. For example, the restaurant's entrance features a Christmas tree and a mock fireplace. In addition, Main Street Cafe is serving Christmas-themed buffet later this month.
Roast Turkey stands out at the carving station. Cooked fairly well, the turkey's tender flesh works harmoniously with giblet and cranberry sauces. Also appealing are the Chestnut Stuffing and Yorkshire Pudding. Beef Wellington is made available too. The fillet steak is coated with duxelles (sautéed mushrooms) and then wrapped in puff pastry.
Grilled vegetables like squash, cucumber and tomatoes serve as counterbalance to this meaty dish. Diners who do not take beef can try other meat dishes like Lamb Navarin or Deep-Fried Fish Fillet With Almond Butter.
Chicken fillets are covered in bread crumbs, and then deep-fried to golden crisp. Other poultry dishes this evening are Chicken Fricassée and Chinese BBQ Duck.
large shrimps are served with the restaurant's signature Milanese sauce. Speaking of shellfish, another noteworthy delicacy is Oyster Casino.
rotkraut. If this dish is too sour for you, go for Broccoli With Chicken Ham instead.
Oyster Omelette (蚝煎). Served on oyster shells, the omelette leans towards the moister end of the spectrum. On the other hand, I feel that omelette is seasoned too heavily, leading to excessive saltiness. Meanwhile, satay (skewered meat) is also available in beef and chicken versions. Spicy peanut sauce is provided.
oysters, scallops, mussels, spanner crabs, crayfish and shrimps. A squeeze of lime is preferred especially for the oysters.
sushi (寿司), mostly of maki (巻き), gunkan (軍艦) and nigiri (握り) varieties. Sashimi (刺身) fans can also indulge in fresh slices of salmon (サーモン), tuna (マグロ) and butterfish (イボダイ). Condiments that usually go well with sushi and sashimi are wasabi (山葵), soy sauce (醤油) and pickled ginger (ガリ).
gourmet cheese contains Cheddar Cheese, Swiss Cheese, Gouda Cheese and Blue Cheese. Crackers and cashew nuts are provided should diners prefer to tone down the strong taste of cheese. Besides fresh grapes, there are also preserved fruits like prunes, apricots and mango.
Pumpkin Soup and Lobster Bisque are prepared this evening. The Pumpkin Soup too mild in my opinion, but Lobster Bisque is flavored just about right. At the side are brioche, baguette and bread rolls to go with soup or cheese.
Garlic croutons and olive oil help to improve aroma. Alternatively, diners can also mix their own Penang Rojak using a variety of fruits available.
Gingerbread House is a common sight during Christmas season. Pastry chefs often take this opportunity to showcase their creative work. The house's walls and roof are constructed from gingerbread, while the appearance snow is created through icing sugar.
Christmas Stollen, a German fruit bread strewn with candied fruit and nuts. The bread is sweetened with powdered sugar. I feel that the stollen is too sweet for comfort, so it is advisable to shake some sugar off before eating. Of course, one should also not be surprised to see Yule Log Cake during Christmas season.
Black Forest Cake is based on a German dessert called Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte. Made from chocolate sponge cake, the Black Forest Cake is topped with whipped cream, cherries, strawberries and chocolate shavings.
Tiramisu is an Italian dessert which means "pick me up". Made from ladyfingers (savoiardi) soaked with coffee, the cake is layered with a mixture of mascarpone cheese, cocoa, sugar and egg yolks. Fine cocoa powder is sprinkled on top. Other cakes on today's line-up are Red Velvet Cake and Carrot Cake.
Bread & Butter Pudding is a British comfort food that is essentially buttered bread baked with egg custard. Vanilla sauce is provided. Meanwhile, Christmas Pudding is loaded with small chunks of candied fruit. Speaking of candied fruit, one should also try some Christmas Fruit Cake.
gingerbread cookies, checkerboard cookies, walnut cookies and oatmeal raisin cookies.
Macarons are made available to satisfy one's sweet tooth. Unfortunately, I feel that the macarons are way too sweet for me. Other sweet confectionery this evening are Jaffa brownies, tartlets and jellies.
chocolate fondue is particularly popular among children. Skewered food like marshmallow, strawberries, apricots, grapes, prunes and jelly candies are provided to be dipped into the molten chocolate. Should diners prefer something cooling, they can help themselves with endless round of ice kacang, cendol and ice cream.
Iced Lemon Tea contain fruity coolness that helps to quench thirst. Finally, espresso machines allow diners to get their caffeine shots.
Main Street Cafe will be serving 4 buffet sessions around Christmas and 3 more around New Year. Children and senior citizens are entitled to discounted prices.

No problem whatsoever (apart from that goats cheese in our spinach pancakes the other day). Having started preparing for Lent in the New Year, and what with that run-up being long due to the lateness of Easter this year, I was in good form to start fasting.
I weaned myself off caffeine by switching from a monstrous blast of Lavazza Qualita d'Oro to an ever-diminishing amount of instant coffee in the morning, tapering down to almost zero. But still a very slight background headache persisted until today. So only fruit teas, mineral waters and fruit juice to drink. No alcohol - no problem.
Snacking is a bit tricky - the temptation to make an impulse purchase of confectionary or salt snacks while buying a paper is strong, but dried fruit and (unsalted) nuts are the answer here.
Having started physical exercises in the New Year, I'm doing really well compared to this stage in Lents gone by. Today I managed 30 press-ups - I think maybe a lifetime record; sit-ups I'm holding steady. The important bit is that since Lent started, I'm doing two lots, morning (5:45 am) and evening, just before going to bed.
Lenten Recipe No. 9*:
Smoked salmon, mushroom and cous-cous breakfast
Ingredients (per person): 80g smoked salmon, 200g champignon mushrooms, quarter of a cupful of cous-cous, half a chilli pepper (hot), fresh leaf corriander, ginger, sunflower oil, balsamic vinegar.
Method: Slice mushrooms, pour boiling water over cous-cous. Pour some sunflower oil onto pan and heat. When hot, place slices of salmon onto the pan, then mushroom slices. Stir in. Add two dashes of balsamic vinegar. When cous-cous has absorbed the water and is fluffy, add to the salmon and mushrooms. Cut chilli pepper into the pan, then corriander; grate some ginger. Stir for a few minutes on high heat; serve. Tasty, healthy and nutricious. Takes 8-10 minutes to prepare, ideal for breakfast.
* For previous eight Lenten recipies, follow 'Lent' label below the post or on list on right.
This time last year:
City centre; afternoon, dusk, night.
This time two years ago:
A highly untypical post!
The time three years ago:

I did a fun thing on Saturday: I partook of an organized amazing-race-style hunt through Central Park. It was organized by a social club that I don't want to name (and make it easy to google), but it's an affinity group for the meal between breakfast and dinner. The whole point of this group is to make new friends; it's not a singles club, though it sort of seemed like some were hoping that it was. I went into it with no expectations. I got put into a group of 7 people; two other women and four men. My team was very bent on winning, and I like to win, so it was actually pretty damn fun. As soon as we got the map and the packet of questions and puzzles, we sat at a table and figured out our route through the park. An Indian woman saw us with our maps and said, "Excuse me, can you help us find something?" and one of the women in the group said "I'm sorry, we can't help anyone - we're in a race." Whoa! Later, at the finish line (a bar on 55th), she made fun of herself about this. It was interesting to talk to her, because I try to avoid competition, and she admits she's overly competitive and it often makes her crazed.
I know little to nothing about where stuff is in the park so I mostly let them take the lead. There are some gorgeous parts of the park that I've never explored, or haven't seen in years, like the Ramble and the whole Shakespeare's Garden area with the castle. I'll have to go back when it isn't 85 degrees and 110% humidity.
We got to the finish line a half hour before the deadline and we discovered we were first! We all sat down and had beers and chatted until the other teams arrived. One of the guys on my team works on The Daily Show and knows my friend-quaintence Eric very well. They've spent the last week getting a video ready for the Montreal comedy festival, about "behind the scenes at The Daily Show." It appears to be mainly Eric's project. This guy had also seen The Chipperton Family Vocal-tainers' Shooby Dooby Dooby Hour, and so I told him about my sister's involvement (building a fetus puppet that sings "Memories" in the show ... don't ask). So that was a cool bit of small-world-ness.
After everyone had shown up, the organizers checked everyone's answers, and declared us the winners. Yay! High-fives. Our prize? Five dollar gift certificates to Starbucks (insert defeated 'whah-whaw' horn sound here). But it didn't matter. I had to be somewhere at 7 so I left even though my teammates were all, "Stay and get drunk with us!" which was nice.
Later that night I ended up in Tompkins Square Park, sitting and watching the fireflies. I'd never been inside the park before (besides walking through it the previous night) because when I was in high school/college it was filled with squatters who had pretty much taken over the park completely, and sane people didn't really head anywhere near it. Now it's very nice and genteel. Plus, fireflies! Seeing fireflies in Manhattan made me feel a lot better about potentially living here.
Other city things I did/learned recently: I walked past the building depicted on Led Zep's Physical Graffiti album cover. I went to CB's (the attached gallery club next to CBGB's) where the Jack and Cokes are tiny and $7.50. (In Manhattan, Jack and Cokes are all made in these tiny juice glasses. What's up with that?) I walked through the West Village at night, which was beautiful and quiet. While I was there, some rich preppy people who looked straight out of an 80's teen movie asked me where Christopher Street was. I went to 15th Street meetinghouse, which Quakers have been meeting in since it was built in 1860. I and two other subway patrons argued with an MTA worker about being locked out of the 16th street exit five minutes early (the guy was in the middle of locking up the turnstiles, but it wasn't midnight yet, so we had walked out of one that was still unlocked) and forced him to unlock the exit gates so we could get out (pay another two bucks just to walk through to another exit? No way, man). I also tasted Tasty D-Lite for the first time; it's a very-low-cal soft serve chain that's everywhere in the city.
So that's what I've been doing, mostly.

Hey! I can't remember how I found your site, but your writing makes me so nostalgic for Manhattan. I spent some time there last spring and sigh sigh sigh do I miss it. Thanks for bringing me back! Katie
- av said...
That sounds fun! What were the preppy people wearing?
- debl said...
Thanks, Katie!
Av, I mainly remember the guy who spoke to me - it was two male-female couples - who was blone and overly tan, and was wearing a sportcoat and light-colored pants and something like boat shoes. I didn't look too closely, it's really just that his face had that half-lidded look just like that guy who played the main rich asshole in Some Kind of Wonderful - you know the one? Not James Spader (from Pretty in Pink), the other one who never acted again.
- av said...
Ha! YUP, totally remember the dude with the constant sneer. And he's all like, "No, I want you to BEG." Then the punks and misfits take over his party, woo hoo! And he's like "Now, I don't want any trouble." TOTAL LOSER GOT WHAT WAS COMING TO HIM. I'm joking about how passionately I feel about this. But I do feel like Chris Farley going, "And remember when... remember?"

God, he looks like an out of work actor.

I was in one of those wacky hunts once. I got involved through a local magazine. I was paired with four bald guys who really seemed to enjoy Wagner. When I told them about my sisters new girlfriend and how I was volunteering for the Kerry Campaign, we played this weird game where they threw me in the trunk and then left me in a field bleeding.
Scavenger hunts are cool!

Happy Wednesday!
I am super excited to be a Guest Designer for this week's Inspired by Stamping Inspiration Challenge #41. I earned this honor when I created this card for Challenge #35.
This week's challenge is a photo inspiration and color challenge:
I love to make mini albums and this beautiful, romantic photo called out to me to make a vintage'y' album!
The lovely sentiment is from the Inspired by Stamping Small Fancy Labels 18 stamp set.
I used a cereal box to cut the album pages (gotta love recycling!), covered them with the pretty patterned paper, and sponged the edges.
Supplies used: MME Lost & Found Blush PP, Memento Rich Cocoa Ink, Spellbinders Labels Ten Dies, Recollections Pearl Swirls, IBS Products - Small Fancy Labels 18 Stamp Set, Cream Crochet Lace, Rose Seam Binding, and Mixed Color Small Flowers.
I hope this beautiful inspiration photo (and my project!) inspire you to play along this week in Challenge #41. Please note that IBS products are not required to participate.
Thanks for stopping by!

Ha! Oh, those precocious three-year-olds. I totally remember that stage! Everyone had warned about the "terrible two's" so when we breezed through that year, I thought we had it in the bag. Oh no. How come no one warns you about the "terrible three's"? :)

a number of celebrations that are associated with this system.
First the contracted firm, just as is the case with an individual plan, is.
the one which provides all the legal aid through its network of attorneys.
There are additionally 2 events associated with the bargain: a plan administrator and a.
strategy enroller.
A plan sponsor is the organization you are participant of, which sponsors your.
legal plan. Your enroller could either opt to supply the legal services as.
a fringe-benefit, as is the case with many employers, pre-charge for the.
solution - colleges generally demand for any sort of lawful solution as component of.
tuition charges-- or bill low-costs, as do trade unions under a.
group-bargaining plan.
Your plan administrator is the person designated by your sponsor to arrange.
for the panel of lawyers from the gotten company to supply solutions,.
gathers all the fees paid into a pre-paid strategy, advertises the strategy as well as.
deals with enrolment as well as advertising. The administrator may be a a staff member of.
the enroller, an insurance coverage company or an outside firm.
Managing Authority.
Authorities that regulate pre-paid plans provide you with a summary of exactly how.
pre-paid legal solutions are handled and also an outlet in instance there are.
any type of grievances.
Individual pre-paid lawful plans are typically controlled by your state.
department of consumer events.
If you are a worker taking part in a group plan funded by your.
employer, after that the legal services are covered and regulated under the.
deferral Employee Retired life Earnings Safety Act (ERISA).

We've all had a Shimla experience
Former senior lecturer in food technology at Northumbria University, Ian Brown, reports on a trip to India
India is really not a place for those with a delicate gastro-intestinal system. The photo here showing Cheers North East at the Taj Mahal, innocent though it appears, has a tale attached.
In recent years, security at the Taj has tightened immensely. All visitors and their bags are subject to stringent security checks, electronically as well as by manual body searches. The following are identified as being unacceptable:
Food, drink, video cameras and any form of literature – in any language – including guidebooks.
Cheers magazine was highlighted in the electronic scan and removed from my wife Carol's bag. We were ushered into an interview room and asked to explain this subversive religious literature.
It was far from easy trying to interpret what they clearly thought was a Gorgon-headed scandal-sheet –but I did my best. The head of security eventually appeared and following a heated discussion (it was 40º C) and after what seemed like a referendum among three million Hindu gods, Brentry was amazingly declared.
I can only put this down to the fact that Cheers was not considered to be of any literary merit whatsoever. Either that, or those Hindu gods were regular readers and approved of it by a clear majority.
I had only been in India for a couple of days when I was struck down by Delhi Belly and Shimla Shitz. Imodium kept us on the road and off the bog for a couple of more days but thankfully deep into the heart of Rajasthan our driver took us to visit a rural tribe of a Hindu sect, the Brahmans, where it was recommended that we participate in a local ceremony at the BWMC (Brahman Working Men's Club) – CIU affiliated, of course.
I thought this related to my background in food technology as some locally-sourced raw materials were ground into a powder, mixed with water, then added to a small distillation apparatus which was subsequently heated. The resultant distillate was then offered – three times – on a small leaf, and we imbibed each time. This was accompanied throughout by a chant reminiscent of the anger expressed at opposing supporters from the Leazes End whenever Newcastle conceded a goal in the mid-1960s.
We then experienced the most powerful of mixed sensory perceptions – bitterness and wellbeing – which produced an amazing craving for sweetness eventually satisfied by small, coarse, uncut lumps of brown sugar. They were uncut diamonds of carbohydrate.
The offending micro-organisms – and their spores – failed to trouble my digestive system for the remainder of the trip.
But I'm sad to report that the beer situation in India is best described as dire. Kingfisher Lager has well and truly cornered the market. It wouldn't be so bad if it was the beer that we all know in the wonderful curry houses we have in the North East, but sadly it is reminiscent of something from the Federation Brewery in the 1970 and 80s. Think Ace Lager.

Release the Cats of War...
No longer can I slouch sleepily in my study following my morning ritual of tea and emails, coffee and online papers, more tea as I head for the blogosphere. As my computer chair is next to the window I can just see, out of the corner of my eye, the suspicious milling around of cats that means some poor frog, with flippers across its head in surrender position, needs rescuing from their prodding, patting paws. I fall downstairs and out into the garden where, despite the thickness of my dressing gown, a freezing blast of icy air chills me through as I rush out to grab the frog before a cat seizes it in it's mouth and high-tails over the wall. If this happens it will necessitate a struggle through the bushes at the back of the neighbouring garden in pursuit of the fleeing culprit, squashing slugs and snails into the soles of my indoor slippers as I go. A rude awakening indeed.
Rescued frogs are gently placed into my pondlet where they invariably swim quickly down to the bottom. Some of them never break the surface again... And those that live will be forever in fear of the 'great eyeballs in the sky' - Luka peering endlessly into the water in his obsessive hunt for them.
This is not the only damage my precious pussbabies wreak. There is another routine to be followed before I even get my first cup of tea.
I am softly slumbering but it is 7.00 a.m. and no gentle release from dreams for me. A fat catpaw pats my mouth and ignored is then shoved up my nose! As I start to emerge slowly from my sleep a cat sneezes directly in my face to hasten the process! This tactic invariably works as I shoot out of bed and fall into the bathroom to wash off the cat snot. We troop downstairs in a procession and the cats are immediately let out the kitchen patio doors after their night time incarceration. They rush towards my crocus and iris pots and nibble the long stems. I rush out and boot them off but as fast one retreats another is taking its place.. this is too much I am barely awake so a smack is administered somewhere around the cat's backside and they disappear off around the corner of the house. I stumble back into the kitchen to get my tea and their breakfast. But what is this? Before they have even eaten a cat has proudly puked up a little pile of what was once the new libertia 'goldfinger' I bought at the RHS flower show. Later inspection shows that this is now ruined. The slugs have already got the more expensive of the hepaticas I bought.
All is not gloom however. For the first time ever I've spotted a goldcrest in the garden which has visited over the last few days pecking around my euphorbia 'blackbird'. (You can just about see it in the picture below - excuse the quality it was taken through the closed window).
I watch over my little visitor ready to ward off any marauding cats. I wonder why this tiny bird has honoured my garden with his presence. A few days later I discover the reason - the euphorbia is covered in whitefly.
Cats, frogs, slugs, snails, rosemary beetles, miscellaneous insects, caterpillars, seagulls not to mention the maggotry... the garden battle season begins!
Unbelievably I just found a vine weevil sitting on my desk - this really is war!

Are you telling the truth about the capacity of your nostrils?

THere might have been a very slight bit of artistic license taken there but the cat does try very hard to get his paw into my nostril. If I am very unlucky he will extend a claw and hook it in which is totally excruciating! Sometimes they are easier to love than others.

But they're such cuties - you can almost forgive them their wholesale slaughter of fauna and flora. I fear for the goldcrest.

Two things really.
I can relate to the skipping outside in your summer weight dressing gown to witness the green shoots of recovery only to find that aphids/slugs/whitefly etc got there first.
Then the eternal cat v dog debate. Which can give the worst long lasting injuries?
Cat paw up nose or head butt from 30 kilo Griffon? We would need to compare blood loss.

Hmmm, cat or griffon, griffon or cat... difficult one. Do griffon's
insist on standing on your chest displaying their bottoms for inspection whilst you are trying to lie in bed reading a book?

The first goldcrest I saw 'in the flesh' had died at the paws of resident cat "Bill". He does mice, birds, frogs, and red elastic bands (which the postman discards)
- 7 March 2009 at 14:47
- Arabella Sock said...
Oh no.... I am going to have to get up even earlier and be on guard duty for the firecrest! That's if it hasn't already been got as I haven't seen it for days now. I don't think my cats have had it as they bring all their prizes back to play with in our garden. They bought so many frogs back last year that I thought they must have pretty much wiped out the local population (although some of their catch would be the same ones I had previously rescued, I must start tagging them)so I was quite pleased to see they are still around - for the moment anyway.

- Yolanda Elizabet Heuzen said...
Yup, you are wild about your garden allright. It's time to call in Chris B and his team, wouldn't you say? ;-)
BTW I taught my cats to bring the frogs they caught to me (alive and kicking). I would give them a treat and in return they would give me the frog which would then be returned to the pond ASAP. Worked a treat, literally. Have your cats discovered the joys of Gimpet cheese thingies? Mine would murder for it, or rather won't. ;-)

Thanks in no small part to the proliferation of the New 52 Superman design in Superman merchandise, my interest in new mass market Superman toys is at a near all time low. However, I do kind of like Mattel's Total Heroes line of action figures in spite of their New 52 Superman; its design is just the right level of modern simplicity for me. I found these two Superman-related additions to the Total Heroes line a few months back: Bizarro and Steel.
Happily, Mattel went with the classic Bizarro design for the figure, and it really works well. I still haven't picked up DC Direct's rockabilly Frankenstein version of the character.
Steel was a total surprise to me, harkening back to those pre-Internet days when you really didn't know what was coming out until you found a new figure and could check the back of the card for the rest of them. I didn't know he was going to be offered, and just stumbled on him on a random Toys R Us visit.
He's a nice figure, well worth a pickup. Again, they didn't go strictly with the New 52 aesthetic. If you look at the card art, it almost looks like Cyborg instead of Steel.
I'm hoping the Total Heroes line keeps going. I'd love to see more Superman related characters like Brainiac or a single-packed Lex Luthor or maybe even Supergirl (even though, oddly enough, there haven't been ANY female characters in Total Heroes yet).

I am planning to bring down all birthday cards with me between March to August when I go to Denmark, but I haven't done anything yet for a close family friend or my mother in law. This one is for the close family friend.
Today's inspiration: Mojo Monday's MOJO277 and in particular, Sarah Bigelow of Sarah's Creations. I love her flourish around the circle.
I don't often think of white when I'm cutting out embellishments, but I was definetly inspired by Sarah's use of white and it just went so well with this card. All of CTMH's patterned paper can be mixed and still produce beautiful results: this one is a mix of Wonderland and Lucky (retired).
To color in the owl on the front and the little compass on the inside, I actually used a paintbrush and CTMH inks; first I dabbed the tip of the brush right on the inkpad, then on scrap paper so the ink is not too dark and then color in my item. I do all the shading later, skipping the scrap paper step.
Michaels, etc:
* White cardstock
* Brown ribbon (thanks, Crave Cupcakes)
* Flower brad
* Dark rhinestones
* Card Chatter - Birthday
* Pair A Phrase (retired)
* Lucky Level 2 Paper Pack
* Wonderland Level 2 Paper Pack
* Chocolate Ink
* Outdoor Denim Ink
* Honey Ink
* Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge
It's snowing once again!

The Frustrations of a Maturing Christian
"... the more we become like Christ, the more sensitive we are to the remaining corruptions of the flesh. As we mature in godliness our sins become more painful and more obvious to ourselves. The more we put away sin, the more we notice sinful tendencies that still need to be put away. This is the paradox of sanctification: the holier we become, the more frustrated we are by the stubborn remnants of our sin."

Dreams of Giving Birth
So nurture it, whatever is inside you that is growing will soon give joy to everyone.
Thursday, June 16, 2011
Bloody Dreams: That's so Hemo!
Dreams of losing blood
You maybe suffering from exhaustion or may feel emotionally depleted.
Dreams of drinking someone else's blood
You have intense desire to be intimate with that person.
Dreams of drinking the blood of an animal - you find joy in superficial things, just like junk food it tastes sweet, but not nourishing.
Dreams of blood flowing like a river
There will be endless sacrifices in your behalf for your most desired dream to come true.
Dreaming of your menses
When your period gushes out and flows in your dreams, it is a simple dream of fertility. That you are receptive of love and intimacy.
Dreams of seeing Blood on Walls
Such a violent blood dream only means your desire if not dealt with will end in an explosion of anger.
Dreams of Marking Someone's Face with Blood
You are marking your territory and stating that this prey of yours is the new sacrificial animal. You are planning something vindictive against this person.

A Tree in your Dream: The Tree of Life
Dreaming of Trees can be prophetic because the Tree symbol in the dream is actually You. The state of the tree signifies what condition you are in. Observe with yor mind's eye this tree that represents your life. What is the state of its leaves, branches and roots? What kind of tree is it? Is it a bamboo? a fruit bearing tree? a strong oak?
Dreams of a dried-out tree may represent that something in you is dying or need of attention such as your creativity, spiritual self or your love for someone.
Dreaming of a aged, but sturdy tree - You are maturing gracefully and handling life's obstacles divinely.
Dreams about a tree with strange fruits - You bear the brunt of the worst problems still you manage to blossom despite the odds. These strange fruits are symbols of rewards to come in your life.
Dreaming of a tree with animals on it - You are a giver of life and you sustain the people around you with enough love.
Dreams of an exotic tree such as a baobab, bamboo or a dragon blood tree - You have roots that extend to the deepest Earth. You are well-grounded and you think highly of your family's origins. You are not ashame of who you are and what you've become.

Dream Pattern Baldness: Losing Your Hair in Dreams
Going bald in your dreams can be really be frightening, but this dream luckily is not prophetic of propecia.
Hair loss in dreams has more to do with self-image than literally losing hair from your head. Its quite similar to dreams of losing your teeth. In losing hair, there is a sense of vanity and deep-seated insecurity involved.
Your locks being a source of pride, youth and good looks- the loss of it would be devastating to your ego. Dreams of baldness prey on our fear of aging, of losing virility or going full ugly. It also signifies a loss of will power or strength to overcome problems, but do not fear, hair does grow back and your inner strength will eventually triumph over your fears.

Dream Diary: The Glass Cathedral
But that's the only thing I remember about the dream, how beautiful and golden and glowing this fragile glass cathedral was.

Dreaming about Toilets: Flushing out your Subconscious
Now if all these flying toilets, bathroom fixtures and latrine scenarios still creep up on you then seeing a toilet in your dreams has a pure symbolic meaning - in essence a cleansing is in order. A cleansing of the spirit, removal of impure thoughts or a change in behavior or lifestyle is needed. Perhaps you have been living with guilt or a burden of shame that you now need to unload. Your mind is obviously very weary from too much thinking, it needs to expel this mental poison. And so you must!

Dreaming of being on Top a High Building
Then the dream connotes several hidden messages:
- You are an elitist. You like looking down at people, micro-managing from the top of your perch.
- You like feeling isolated from the crowd. Having an aerial view gives you a great sense of power and control of people you think are beneath you.
- You have your head in the clouds. You have lofty dreams and you are very internal and engaged in your thoughts most of the time. For other people, it may seem you are out of touch with reality.
- You have this deep-seated fear of heights and the dream may turn into a nightmare once you find yourself falling down.

A Dream about an Egg: How Egg-citing!
To dream of an egg is a sign that something new and different will come your way.
Egg dreams are symbolic of new ideas coming into being or even new skills.
But like any fragile seed, you must nurture this with love and care for it to hatch meaning you must take the time to develop and nurture your self - may it be your self-esteem, self worth or your inner potential. This egg can lead you further towards the fulfillment of your dreams, so make sure you burst out of your shell and really explore what the world has to offer.

Dreams about Hats: What's on your head?
Dreaming of hats connotes your desired role in life. In your dream, what hat was on your head? Was it a top hat? a trucker's hat? a baseball cap? Is that hat yours? Who owns the hat?
If you are dreaming of coveting someone's hat, you have that desire to be intimate with that hat owner.
A change of hat may also mean a change in your way of thinking or life philosophy.

Early yesterday morning a neighbour rang to say the contents of one of the swamps from higher up the farm was across the road in front of his place. We had heard the rain but there must have been a lot more higher up than we got at home.
Amazingly the damage is relatively little considering the amount of water, mud and rocks that have travelled down stream.
It went under 2 fences but wrecked the third.
The day was quite pleasant and mild. Wet but mild so we took Summer & Trapper for a short ride around.
I wanted to try the saddle that I had an accident to get. I would have been gutted if it didn't fit or something.
Luckily its a pretty good fit which is amazing considering how difficult Summer is. It does have an Arabian tree in it though and I think thats the key.
Today we went into town early for the practice run. Apart from an 'oh shit' moment when I first got on (she is still a bit girthy at times) where she did her usual shooting off in all directions at once, the morning was all fairly 'low key'.
There wasn't too much traffic around but enough for her to get the feel of things. We did a set of traffic lights and stood for a while on the island at the busy round about outside "The Base" while waiting to get across the road.
All without a problem. Even a cruise around the shops at "The Base" where cars had Headlights on etc (It was raining) never caused any problems.
Friday will be a bit different. More trucks and a lot of noise from the buildings in the industrial area.
I think she is going to be OK though. She is a lot more patient than Gus and given time she might just get to be as good as Mr Reliable.
