'Twas the night before Thanksgiving and all through the house,
three little creatures were stirring, (though I'd prefer a mouse).
The turkey was thawing in the sink with care
And by this time of night, I've lost most of my hair.
For the children were long overdue for their beds,
and visions of Hawaii danced in my head.
But still, in the kitchen I calmly remained
to continue the cooking, the baking, the pain.
Cuz this mamma is tired, she's huffing and puffing
just to get throught the cranberry sauce and the stuffing.
For this meal won't come from a box or a can
It's a homemade Thanksgiving - every dish, every pan...
...is a masterpiece made with much hard work and love
to remind us to be thankful for all from above.
So despite all the blood, sweat, and tears, it's worthwhile
just to see my whole family full of turkey and smiles.
So on the eve of this feast, let us never lose sight
of all of our blessings.... and with that said,

Since my December 2, 2005 Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma diagnosis, I've been on a slow-motion journey of survivorship. Chemo wiped out my aggressive disease in May, 2006, but an indolent variety is still lurking. I had my thyroid removed due to papillary thyroid cancer in 2011, and was diagnosed with recurrent thyroid cancer in 2017. Join me for a survivor's reflections on life, death, faith, politics, the Bible and everything else. DISCLAIMER: I'm not a doctor, so don't look here for medical advice.

March 22, 2009 - Waeger Still Wins
(Prayers and good wishes go out to you, Meg. From your blog, it certainly does appear that you and Dan had a very special relationship indeed. No doubt you'll miss him terribly.)
The blog Dan and his fiancee Meg have been writing is called, "Waeger Will Win." Less than a week before Dan's death, Meg wrote a little reflection on the meaning of winning, when it comes to cancer.
She was recalling something she'd heard Lance Armstrong say at a conference. Lance was relating a brief conversation he'd had with the chairperson of his foundation board. "This is fun," said the executive to Lance, caught up in the enthusiasm of whatever project they were working on.
"It's only fun if we win," replied Lance.
Lance Armstrong is, of course, one of the most competitive people on the planet. It's no wonder he'd view the work of curing cancer as the biggest, baddest bike race of all.
Meg offers a different perspective. She has some wise words to share about winning:
"But when Lance said that to the Livestrong audience, I remember thinking that judging victory in cancer solely by 'winning' is maybe worth another look. After all, many cancer survivors, like Dan, don't see the ultimate victory in being cured. There are 100s of cancers, and to ask for a cure sets a high bar, and one that may be unrealistic in our lifetime. This is not a 'one-size-fits-all' solution. Many cancer survivors would be ecstatic if their cancer could be managed as a chronic disease - like diabetes or AIDS. Or if genetic testing could even narrow down the treatment options so that they avoid toxic and crippling treatments as a cruel form of trial & error.
The day I heard Lance speak was about 3 weeks after we'd found out that Dan's cancer had spread. I knew that even then, if Dan's 'win' could only be fun if he was cured, than we were in trouble. If he passed on from cancer, we would surely say that he 'lost his battle.' But as many of you've pointed out, Dan's story isn't a straight win/lose scenario. There are more ways to win than just judging the score."
Indeed. In this life, there are winners and there are winners. Some win by conventional means, edging out a host of competitors by crossing the finish line first. Others start winning from the first moment they leave the starting line, regardless of the outcome.
We can be winners in the here and now, not just in the distant future. From everything I've read of Dan Waeger, he seems to have been one of those people who began winning from the first day of his diagnosis.
Faith helps create winners like Dan, of course. The Apostle Paul has something to say on that topic:
"But we have this treasure in clay jars, so that it may be made clear that this extraordinary power belongs to God and does not come from us. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be made visible in our bodies. For while we live, we are always being given up to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus may be made visible in our mortal flesh. So death is at work in us, but life in you." – 2 Corinthians 4:7-12
Clay jars. Amphorae, they called them – ordinary, everyday vessels used in the ancient world to carry water, wine and all manner of other liquids. To Paul's readers, clay jars were about as exciting as Tupperware – and just as commonplace.
Yet, this is the image he chooses to describe the treasure of the Gospel – the very treasure that enables God's people to be "afflicted... but not crushed... perplexed, but not driven to depair," and so on.
In the world of cancer, the winners are not only those competitors who go charging across the finish line, pedaling furiously. Somewhere back on the racecourse a rider sits under a tree, dozing in the summer sun. He will not open his eyes again. He will not cross the finish line. He doesn't need to. The finish line has come to him.
(To Meg and all of Dan's circle of family and friends: blessings be upon you in these days of goodbyes. Remember what goodbye means: "God be with you.")

Thank you for this rich, poetic message: "He will not cross the finish line. He doesn't need to. The finish line will come to him."
I wrote about this win-lose topic in the July 2007 issue of Oncology Times. I hope your readers find it helpful. http://tinyurl.com/d3kbz5
With hope, Wendy

As someone who loved Dan dearly, I thank you for the beautiful, beautiful sentiments you have shared here on his behalf.
- Jaymun's Dad said...
Reminds me of another cancer "victim" we knew who went to be with God. http://www.jaymun.com/journal/2007_09_13/
Thank you for remembering Dan and his message. He was definitely a winner!

This study examined the influence of small-group storybook reading sessions on the acquisition of vocabulary words for at-risk kindergartners, and the impact of word elaboration on learning. An additional goal was to study differential responses to treatment for children with high versus low vocabulary skill. Method: Using a pretest-posttest comparison group research design, 57 kindergartners were randomly assigned to a treatment (n = 29) or comparison (n = 28) group. Children were also differentiated into high (n = 31) versus low (n = 26) vocabulary skill groups using scores on a standardized receptive vocabulary test. Children in the treatment group completed 20 small-group storybook reading sessions during which they were exposed to 60 novel words randomly assigned to non-elaborated and elaborated conditions. Pre- and posttest examined the quality of children's definitions for the 60 novel words. Results: Overall, word-learning gains were modest. Children in the treatment group made significantly greater gains in elaborated words relative to children in the comparison group; no influence of storybook reading exposure was seen for non-elaborated words. Children with low vocabulary scores made the greatest gains on elaborated words. Clinical Implications: Suggestions are offered for using storybooks as a clinical tool for fostering vocabulary development. As an efficacy study, results should inform future applied research on word learning for at-risk children.

Illuminati Chronicles #0029 - Tarot, Masonry and the 67 Horoscope Signs
eBook (PDF), 90 Pages
Price: $67.00
It is amazing that people in the UK miss the fact that Monoceros or Unicorn is an ascendant. Surely, they – much as the USA and affiliations – will most traditionally exchange lack of knowledge for tradition, thus cutting short from observation. In that way, the business of Mill Hill or Greenwich is not to observe the stars, ascendants or god forbid determine any zodiacs at all, but to meekly keep to tradition – precisely what the real sky will never be up to at all.

Mild and moderate hearing loss
Mild and moderate hearing loss can often be overlooked because of a perception that it is not a serious condition or that children are 'coping' at home and at school. No child should have to struggle because of these misconceptions.
- What is mild deafness?
- Signs to look out for
- What to do if you're concerned about your child's hearing
- Next steps
- Will hearing aids help?
- Experiences of young people with mild to moderate hearing loss: Views of parents and teachers
- Myths about children with a mild or moderate hearing loss
- Mild hearing loss, major impact: Information for teachers
What is mild deafness?
- Mild deafness typically sounds similar to wearing earplugs all day.
- A child with mild deafness will often hear one-to-one conversation held in quiet surroundings quite well, but hearing well in a busy classroom might be difficult.
- Overhearing helps build vocabulary and gives children a sense of grammar, as well as general knowledge. Children therefore need to be able to hear quiet conversation all around them, even though they aren't paying attention to it.
- Most mild deafness is caused by a temporary condition called Glue ear, although some children have permanent mild deafness.
Signs to look out for
Many children with mild deafness seem to manage extremely well. Their speech and language development is normal in the early years and they do well at school.
However, for a significant number, mild deafness can have an adverse impact on their development and progress at school.
Look out for the following signs of mild hearing loss.
- Delayed speech.
- Mishearing and mispronouncing words.
- Not hearing what's going on if there's background noise.
- Problems with concentrating, tiredness and frustration that affects their behaviour.
- Preferring to play alone.
- Difficulties with reading and learning.
- Wanting the volume of the TV higher than other members of your family.
What to do if you're concerned about your child's hearing
If you're concerned about your child's hearing talk to your doctor or health visitor about your child seeing an audiologist. The audiologist should confirm whether your child has a hearing problem, and what the options are for managing it.
Visit Your audiology service for information on visiting an audiology clinic and click on Hearing tests for explanations of the different hearing tests your child might have, and how to read an audiogram.
Next steps
- There are things you can do to make listening and communication easier for your child. Visit the Communication section of our website for tips.
- Talk to your child's playgroup, nursery or school so that staff are aware and can take steps to support your child. Visit the Education section of our website for helpful tools such as Personal passports and other resources for teaching professionals.
- Speak to your local education hearing support service to find out if you can get advice from a qualified Teacher of the Deaf. They will be able to provide information on options for school placement and support in school.
- Find out aboout technology that can help, such as radio aids and soundfield systems.
Will hearing aids help?
Using hearing aids is certainly an option, but it's important to remember that it's an individual decision for each child and their family. The type of hearing aid that wil be suitable will depend on the type of deafness they have, and if your child is still a baby when diagnosed there is plenty of time to think about hearing aids.
Some parents choose to have regular hearing tests and monitor their child's development before thinking about whether hearing aids would be helpful for their child. Other parents are keen to use hearing aids as early as possible.
For more information visit our Hearing aids section.
Experiences of young people with mild to moderate hearing loss: Views of parents and teachers
Key findings from our research from parents and teachers, in conjunction with the Ear Foundation, on the experiences of young people with mild to moderate hearing loss:
- Family adjustments are often required to meet the needs of the child or young person with mild/moderate hearing loss.
- While hearing technologies are very effective for children and young people with mild/moderate hearing loss, they may appear not to need them, and appear to "hear" without them. This can lead to confusion for them, parents and teachers and possible non-use in later years.
- Children and young people with mild/moderate hearing loss have to use greater levels of effort than generally realised.
- Teachers often have a poor awareness of mild and moderate hearing loss and the steps they can take to minimise its impact. Parents may need to be particularly pro-active in ensuring their child is getting the support they need, including from specialists like Teachers of the Deaf and teaching assistants.
Download the full report: Research on experiences of children with mild and moderate deafness
We are calling for:
- Parents and young people to have access to more information about the potential impact of mild and moderate hearing loss and the support available.
- Teachers to have greater awareness of mild and moderate hearing loss and the steps they can take to minimise its impact.
- Local authorities to ensure that services are sufficiently resourced to provide the necessary support for children with mild and moderate hearing loss.
- NHS England to ensure there is a clear care pathway for children with mild and moderate hearing loss and appropriate, timely support for families.
We published the report in May 2015 during Deaf Awareness Week to highlight six common myths about children with mild and moderate hearing loss and what is possible with the right support.
"With mild deafness others don't realise they're not hearing well. No one took her hearing loss seriously until she had a hearing aid."
Mum Tanya was shocked by the impact of her seven-year-old daughter Honor's mild hearing loss but had to fight to get the right support. Read about their experiences in Families magazine's autumn 2015 issue.
Myths about children with a mild or moderate hearing loss
Myth 1: All deaf children use sign language
Children with mild to moderate hearing loss use a wide range of communication approaches.
Every deaf child is different and will want
to communicate in the way that works best for them.
Myth 2: Deaf children with mild or moderate hearing loss can hear everything with their hearing aids in
Children with hearing aids or unaided mild hearing loss may appear to
hear conversation well, especially in one-to-one situations and when
background noise levels are low. However children need to be able to
hear soft speech and to be able to hear conversation all around them as
well. In this vlog
16 year old Lucy talks about her mild hearing loss and how she has to
overcome friends and teachers sometimes forgetting that she cannot hear
Our factsheet for parents provides suggestions for improving listening conditions for learning in education, and a series of acoustics resources for parents to pass on to teaching staff.
Myth 3: Deaf children can't enjoy music
A lot of deaf children love music, dance and playing instruments. Some
children can hear the music very well with help; others may not hear the
music fully but can feel the vibrations.
Myth 4: Deaf children can't make themselves understood
Deaf children can and do communicate highly effectively. Pass on these deaf awareness resources and videos to hearing friends and family to help them to communicate with your child.
The Look, Smile, Chat lesson plans, activities and videos are ideal if your child is aged 11–16 to pass on to their teachers to make hearing children aware of the issues around deafness.
Myth 5: Deaf children can't attend a mainstream school
80% of school-aged deaf children attend mainstream
schools. (Consortium for Research into Deaf
Education (CRIDE) 2013 UK summary report, amended in December 2014).
If you would like to give your child's teachers - and other school staff such as teachers of the deaf and teaching assistants - help in supporting your child achieve their potential we have developed a range of Supporting the achievement of deaf children guides for you to pass on.
The Here to Learn video clips are also designed for mainstream school staff who have little or no experience of working with deaf children and aim to develop their understanding of the needs of a deaf child.
Myth 6: Deaf children won't be able to get a job when they finish their education
Deaf people are successful in all sorts of jobs, especially when they have been supported to achieve their potential by their employers and colleagues. Our useful parents' guide will help your child think about the support they might need in order to fulfill their ambitions.
At least 35% of our family members have a child with mild or moderate hearing loss; find out more about the benefits of becoming a member of the National Deaf Children's Society.
Mild hearing loss, major impact: Information for teachers
Our Mild hearing loss, major impact resources are for you to share with your child's teacher.
The booklet and short, online video describe the impact a mild hearing loss has on a child in the classroom, and what teachers can do to make sure your child can hear as well as possible.

With UFC superstar Georges St-Pierre staying tight-lipped regarding his plans for the future, fans have been left wondering what it would take to convince the Canadian champ to move up for a fight with fellow pound-for-pound great Anderson Silva. While some believe Silva's willingness to slim down to a certain weight might convince GSP to take the bout, it was recently reported a large enough paycheck would do away with the issue altogether.
According to a story on The MMA Beat citing sources close to the situation, St-Pierre was seeking $50 million for the match-up. If true, the payday would easily be the largest in MMA history and towards the upper-echelon of the boxing scale.
However, St-Pierre has since come forward and denied the alleged demand.
"It is not true," said St-Pierre in an interview with Canadian radio station 98.5, stating he was on vacation in France and would not comment further.
St-Pierre and Silva have been linked to a showdown for months, though GSP has implied he has his sights set on beating a handful of foes at welterweight before exploring options outside of the division he currently rules.

Sunday, 18 July 2010
The leaders of the United
People's Freedom Alliance (UPFA) and the main Opposition - the United
National Party (UNP) who had a fruitful round of talks last week, came
to a general agreement on the executive presidency, established during
the J.R. Jayewardene regime in 1978.
The two major political parties in Sri Lanka agreed to create the
post of executive prime minister, responsible to Parliament through a
Constitutional amendment in the near future. The new post will replace
the country's executive presidency which was introduced over three
decades ago.
Following a proposal submitted to the All Party Conference by the Sri
Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP), the main constituent party of the ruling
UPFA, this landmark decision was taken when a government delegation led
by President Mahinda Rajapaksa and a UNP delegation led by Opposition
Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe met on Tuesday at Temple Trees.
It was indeed heartening to see the two parties, which had governed
Sri Lanka since Independence, coming to a consensus in the best
interests of the country. This is a welcome sign and would undoubtedly
be commended by one and all.
On the other hand, this was an exemplary act by President Rajapaksa,
who has not even commenced his second six-year term in office after his
re-election as the executive President in January this year. With the
landslide victories he and his ruling party obtained at the recent
presidential and general elections, the UPFA could have sailed through
easily for six more years with extensive executive powers and a near
two-third majority in the legislature.
Nevertheless, President Rajapaksa has an abiding interest in the
country, shedding petty party politics. Putting the country before self,
the President is of the firm belief that the Constitution should not be
amended for personal reasons as a definite vision is essential in the
broader interests of the nation.
With four decades of experience as a parliamentarian, the President
is fully aware that the executive presidency had been created as a 'lone
post' and that it should be transformed into a Head of State who would
be responsible to and co-operate with the Parliament.
Though the executive presidency has wide powers, even superior to
that of the legislature, President Rajapaksa has hardly exercised those
powers as he strongly believes in parliamentary democracy. This is
manifested by his frequent visits to the Parliament to witness sittings,
the last being during the presentation and debate of the 2010 Budget.
Unlike some of his predecessors, President Rajapaksa did not exercise
the extensive powers of the executive presidency to get the better of
his political opponents. The only effective tool that he used to tame
his political opponents was elections, thereby obtaining mandates from
the masses to implement his policies. Being the youngest parliamentarian
to be elected at the 1970 general election, President Rajapaksa strongly
believes in parliamentary democracy. This is precisely why he is even
willing to forgo his second term and return to Parliament.
During the recent discussions with the main Opposition, Ministers
Dinesh Gunawardena and Basil Rajapaksa had explained to the UNP
delegation the basis on which the forthcoming Local Government elections
would be held. The two delegations had also discussed the issue of
empowering the statutory bodies under the 17th Amendment to the
In a positive move, they had agreed to empower these bodies and
accepted the fact that officials appointed to them should be responsible
to the Cabinet of Ministers.
The controversial preferential election system from 1994 to 2009 has
largely precluded in forming a government with an absolute majority. The
increasing popularity of the President after his illustrious leadership
to eradicate terrorism after 30 years helped the UPFA secure 144 seats
at the 2010 general election.
Certain international bodies and LTTE proxies who are all out to
bring Sri Lanka before a war crimes tribunal are totally blind to the
massive development activities that are going on apace in the North
today. Are they so blind that they cannot see the improvements that have
taken place in the day-to-day life of the Northerners after the Security
Forces rescued nearly 300,000 innocent civilians in the world's biggest
human rescue mission?
The time has now come for people of every strata of society,
irrespective of caste or creed to lend a helping hand in the
government's development drive sans political ideologies. We must commit
ourselves to rebuild the lives of the people who suffered immensely for
decades due to LTTE terrorism.
The Government's largest financial allocation was channelled towards
regional development to improve the living conditions of those affected
in the North. The government has spent millions of rupees to rebuild the
Kilinochchi hospital, rail tracks and the A-9 highway that were
destroyed by LTTE terrorists.
The President said in Kilinochchi last week that this was the
beginning of a new era that would unite all Sri Lankans under one
umbrella. We should all join hands and work together to achieve
prosperity. The government and the main Opposition have agreed on the
necessity of forming a stable government and moreover agreed that future
Constitutional reforms should ensure such stability. It was also agreed
to implement the decisions taken through a committee comprising
representatives of both sides.
It is needless to state that the other political parties, in the
Government and the Opposition, must continue with this healthy dialogue
to prevent extraneous elements disrupting Sri Lanka's forward march.
The meeting between the President and the Leader of the Opposition is
a good sign which proves that the power of unity could prevent
interested organisations, both here and abroad, meddling in Sri Lanka's
internal affairs.
At a time when various external forces, with questionable agendas,
are threatening the country's sovereignty and its territorial integrity,
it is the bounden duty of every citizen to unite under one banner,
shedding petty political rivalry.
It is up to the UNP to support the government to go ahead with the
proposed Constitutional reforms aimed at strengthening Sri Lanka's
sovereignty and expediting its march towards becoming the Wonder of

Heard Stephanie Blythe, mezzo-soprano, with LW at Carnegie Hall. The last time I heard her, she was singing Fricka, Wotan's wife, at the Met Opera. Last night's program was very different, a night of French mélodie and chansons, and English cabaret numbers. The moment she walked on stage, even before singing a note, the audience gave her a round of warm applause. She thanked us and said that everyone should have the same experience as she just had.
Then she launched into Francis Poulenc's Poèmes de Ronsard (1924-1925). I enjoyed the art songs, or mélodie, but liked the next set even more. It comprises Léo Ferré's "La vie antérieure" (1957) and "L'invitation au voyage" (1957), both based on poems by Baudelaire. According to the concert program note, Ferré (1916-1993) set out to challenge the distinction between mélodie and his chansons (lyric-driven French songs). I especially loved Blythe's magical rendering of "La vie antérieure." It was the best thing of the evening.
After Ferré, we heard three songs by Jacques Brel (1929-1978). "Les pieds dans le ruisseau," about a boy daydreaming by the river, was enchanting in its innocence. "Ne me quitte pas," a series of pleas to a lover not to leave, each one more self-abasing than the one before, was sung with much feeling. The next song "Amsterdam" was completely different. Blythe rendered the song about the sailors of Amsterdam and their eating and drinking and whoring with requisite gusto and appetite.
The English came on after the intermission. The difference in national temperament between the French and the English was never brought home to me so forcefully as last night. Benjamin Britten's Cabaret Songs and Noël Coward's songs from his operettas and shows are witty, ironic, and sentimental. They don't begin to touch the depths of even the French chansons. Cabaret Songs (1937-1939) comprise "Calypso," "Johnny," "Tell Me the Truth About Love," and "Funeral Blues." The last two are based on Auden's poems. From Coward, Blythe sang "Zigeuner" from Bitter-Sweet (1929), "Nina" from Sigh No More (1945), "Mad About the Boy" from Words and Music (1932), "Mrs Worthington" (1934) and, to cap a beautiful evening, "The Party's Over Now" from Words and Music. She did oblige, however, with three encores. For the last one, she got us to join her in singing Irving Belin's "Always" (1925), which he wrote as a wedding gift to his wife.
Blythe was accompanied on the piano by Warren Jones. Before each set, they recited the English translations of the lyrics. Blythe was a good reader of poetry too.

We loved Hershey Lodge. There is so much for kids to do there including this room which has a TV, game tables, and more.
Don't you love that big Hershey bar bench?
For more Mellow Yellow photos visit Monday Mellow Yellow
I do like that bench! Can you do anything with that giant table full of balls?
No Brenda it is just for playing on. There were games and puzzles on a shelf. The balls are just for color
This brings out the kid in me!!!
Colourful idea for a table. Quite appealing for young ones.


text: A German couple who went to a fertility clinic after eight years of marriage have found out why they are still childless - they weren't having sex. The University Clinic of Lubek said they had never heard of a case like it after examining the couple who went to see them last month for fertility tests. Doctors subjected them to a series of examinations and found they were both apparently fertile, and should have had no trouble conceiving. http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_957945.html

So said my lovely mother last night when she and I (and my sister, Nicole) went to a beading class. The groupons we used had been purchased last Christmas. It's November. So we went to the Lake Erie Artist's Gallery (www.lakeerieartists.com)
In any case, we headed off to the Eastside. For those of you not from the Cleveland area, there is a definite rivalry amongst people that live on the Westside of Cleveland and the Eastside. I am a Westsider, born and bred. How I explain E v. W to people is this:
The Eastside is where a majority of the old (and SERIOUS) money is. There are a lot of really wealthy areas, a lot of quirky 'artsy' neighborhoods and a bit more diversity. Most of the Jewish population of Cleveland lives on the Westside. The museums are on the Eastside, the major hospitals and a lot of the "culture" is located on the Eastside. However, along with a lot of good, there is a downside. Besides having some of the nicest areas in the GCA (greater Cleveland area), it also has its worst. I'm not kidding. East Cleveland is famous for being one of the most dangerous places in the country. Yay, Cleveland!
The Westside's income disparity is not so drastic. It's still a mostly blue-collar area of the city, with a few "nicer" suburbs. But you probably won't become a victim of violent crime in a majority of the the Westside. It's mostly bars and Catholic churches. You think I'm kidding but take a drive. Bar, church, bar, church. I love the Westside.
So the three of us headed out to the weird little shop in Shaker Square (a seriously cute little area of Cleveland with shops and restaurants). I'm not sure what I expected, but when we got there, we were the only 3 people in the class. The "instructor" was a nice enough lady but we could tell she would have rather been working on her own designs than teaching us anything.
Also, the phrase "teaching" should be used loosely. She essentially handed us a few boxes of beads and said "have fun!" Don't get me wrong, she had some lovely beads, but I think for what it was, it was INCREDIBLY overpriced. And we got ours 50% off. And it was STILL overpriced.
We had a lot of fun, though. Mostly because I love hanging out with my mom & sister. And it's always funny to see how differently the three of us create. My mom decided to make a very simple. very tasteful, patterned bracelet in very neutral shades. Nicole made a very tasteful, patterned bracelet in lovely purples and greys. Me? I made a very obnoxious bracelet with about six different colors (including HOT PINK PEARLS! woo! be jealous) that had absolutely no rhyme or reason. If I liked it, it went on the bracelet. Again with the rampant narcissism. I don't care if other people like it. If I like it, everyone else should like it too.
The finished product. Notice how awesome the hot pink pearls look.
Anyway, as I was trying to finish off the bracelet and tighten the crimping bead (but without a crimper, apparently they are too difficult for us beginners to use) I ended up breaking the crimping bead and my ENTIRE bracelet ended up on the floor. I'm glad I didn't have a pattern because I would have been even angrier trying to replicate said pattern.
But I did end up on my hands & knees under the table, collecting little beads and cursing under my breath (ok, maybe it wasn't under my breath). This, after mocking my mom for being really slow & boasting that I was the first one done. Needless to say, I ended up as the LAST one done.
Since it was late & we were starving (Nic couldn't eat anything they had at the class as it was all full of gluten), we decided to have dinner at Yours Truly. (www.ytr.com) If you live in the Cleveland area & have never been to a Yours Truly, do yourself a favor and head to one. Immediately.
Here's my mom & Nic outside the restaurant I need to tell Babs she needs to smile more.
Yours Truly has one of the best (& most varied) menus. And the entire menu is available all day. I've been there with my girlfriends and have had meals that include omlettes, milkshakes and fries (either their 'notso' fries or the sweet potato). Healthy, probably not, but SO delicious.
The three of us ADORE sweet potato fries. And YT makes some of the best I've ever had (only Sweet Melissa's makes better ones). And they serve them with yummy honey mustard. If I ever come back as a food, I want to come back as sweet potato fries.
Look how delish they look. Washed down with an icy cold diet coke and you've got the beginnings of a perfect meal.
Mostly it was just nice to spend time with Nicole and my mom. Since Nic has lived in Columbus (and works insane retail hours), I don't get to see her as often as I'd like and I DEFINITELY don't get to spend as much time with her and my mom together as I'd like. I'm anxiously awaiting her return to the C-L-E.
Here's the two of us, mugging for the camera. And no, we're not drunk. We only had a glass of wine each.
Nicole is trying to take a nice photo. I am trying to make her laugh.
Driving home, we started talking about what we consider the most quintessential "American" band. I picked the Beach Boys. Nicole wanted more perimeters. I told her the Spice Girls didn't count (as they are British). Do any of you have thoughts on the most quintessential "American" band? Just curious.
She left this morning & I went to mass. I'm embarassed to say how long it's been since I've gone. Also, I can't really remember (so that gives you an idea of how long it's been). I'm going to talk more about Catholicism & my thoughts on religion and spirituality at a later time. For now, I'll just say that I had forgotten how much I love going to mass. I love everything about mass: the prayers, the music, the homily and (of course), the Eucharist. We have a new priest at my parish who is young (only a few years older than I) and I'm really excited about the direction of the church under Fr. Joe!
My (mis)adventure in writing a novel continues. I'm closing in on 9k words (seriously! it's insane) & I love writing the story and I am so grateful to NaNoWriMo for introducing me to a fantastic community of other young, female writers that inspire me & make me laugh. Chick Lit Cheerleaders are the best.

One of the classifications is as follows,
- Expansion of existing business
- Expansion of new business
- Replacement and moderation
Expansion and Diversification
A company may add capacity to its existing product lines to expand existing operation. For example, the Company Y may increase its plant capacity to manufacture more "X". It is an example of related diversification. A firm may expand its activities in a new business. Expansion of a new business requires investment in new products and a new kind of production activity within the firm. If a packing manufacturing company invest in a new plant and machinery to produce ball bearings, which the firm has not manufacture before, this represents expansion of new business or unrelated diversification. Sometimes a company acquires existing firms to expand its business. In either case, the firm makes investment in the expectation of additional revenue. Investment in existing or new products may also be called as revenue expansion investment.
Replacement and Modernization
The main objective of modernization and replacement is to improve operating efficiency and reduce costs. Cost savings will reflect in the increased profits, but the firm's revenue may remain unchanged. Assets become outdated and obsolete with technological changes. The firm must decide to replace those assets with new assets that operate more economically. If a Garment company changes from semi automatic washing equipment to fully automatic washing equipment, it is an example of modernization and replacement. Replacement decisions help to introduce more efficient and economical assets and therefore, are also called cost reduction investments. However, replacement decisions that involve substantial modernization and technological improvements expand revenues as well as reduce costs.

The blogging prompt for March 3 - list the unique or unusual first name you've come across in your family tree.
Well, apart from all the Mary and Elizabeth first names I have Hephzibah or Hipsea for short. This has been a most useful name when I have been searching as the surname has been Thomas, Cable or Hill so Hephzibah has been helpful. My first is my 4th great-grandmother Hepzibah Cable, then Hephzibah Thomas my 2nd great-great aunt, next Hephzibah Mary Elizabeth Hill my 1st cousin 3 times removed and finally Hephzibah Mary Thomas my second cousin twice removed - and there you have it.
Where does Hephzibah originate? Hephzibah means "my delight is in her" in Hebrew. She is a queen and the mother of Manasseh in the Old Testament. (Behind the name)
Interestingly Hephzibah is also a city in Richmond County, Georgia, USA. As I don't have a picture of my Hephzibah ancestors I thought I would give you an image of the whereabouts of Hephzibah, Georgia in relation to the Eastern United States.

The intricacies of Garri�s work comes to full bear in the repousse of the sterling wrapped hardwood sheath, featuring inlaid citrine and alternating garnet gems with a decorative belt hoop on the reverse.
The blade of this magnificent presentation dagger is nothing short of what you would expect. Both renowned Damascus maker, Journeyman Gary House and knifemaker John Lewis Jensen collaborated on this masterpiece. The blade was begun by Gary House, who forged the complex mosaic Damascus blade. John Lewis Jensen then ground the blade to its final shape and heat treated the steel. The resulting collaboration is exceptional in its own right.
A beautiful presentation box with repouse worked copper and brass fittings completes the over-all aesthetic of this one-of-a-kind art dagger

Significance and Use
4.1 This test method concerns the sieving of coal into designated size fractions for the purpose of characterizing the material as to its particle size distribution for further processing or for commercial purposes. This is covered in Part A of this standard. Raw, as well as prepared (crushed, cleaned, or screened), coals can be tested by this test method.
4.2 This test method is applicable for all types of coals, except for pulverized coals (see Method D197) such as fed into steam boilers. Low rank coals, that is, lignites, subbituminous, and high volatile bituminous C, must be dried with caution and handled with care to minimize deterioration or size degradation during sieving.
4.3 This test method is applicable for the wet or dry-sieving of coal at sizes from 200 mm (8 in.) to 38 μm (No. 400 U.S.A. Standard). Methods for sizing materials below 38 μm are outside the scope of this test method.
4.4 This test method also concerns the designation of a coal sample as to its upper (nominal top-size) and lower (nominal bottom-size) limiting sizes for the purpose of characterizing the material for further processing or for commercial purposes. This is covered in Part B of this test method. Anthracite coal is further designated by a one word descriptive term (see 14.4).
4.5 Enough material may not be collected by this test method to meet subsequent test procedures, such as washability analyses (Test Method D4371).
1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers procedures for determining the sieve analysis of coal and designating the size of coal from sieve analysis data. Raw as well as prepared (crushed, cleaned or screened) coals can be tested by this test method.
1.2 This test method explains how to designate coal sizes from the results of sieve analysis data in order to represent the condition of the coal as sold. In the case of special mixtures or coals with noncontinuous ranges of sizes, a sufficiently complete sieve analysis must be made to properly describe the size distribution.
1.3 This test method is not applicable for determining the sieve analysis nor for designating the size of pulverized coal. (See Note 1.) Size fractions down to and including 38 μm (No. 400 U.S.A. Standard Series) can be treated by the methods discussed in this test method. Methods for handling size fractions below 38 μm (No. 400) will be developed by this committee.
1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used independently of the other, without combining values in any way.

The following error occurred while trying to process your gift:
MBC occurs when cancer has spread from the breast to other parts of the body.Women with MBC need treatments that help keep their disease controlled. Until there is a cure, it is treatments that give time and help them live a better life longer.
Research continues to show progress in treating metastatic breast cancer, and the price of
these new treatments developed by pharmaceutical manufacturers continues to rise.
The price of new cancer treatments is resulting in an unsustainable health system. This leaves
metastatic breast cancer patients waiting longer for new treatments to be approved and listed in
Canada compared to other jurisdictions - leading to more uncertainties about the availability of future innovative cancer treatments and the clinical trial sites. It's time to change how metastatic breast cancer drugs are approved and listed to be more transparent and without delay.
Sign our petition. Ensure the voices and values of women with MBC are represented when decisions about their health and care are made.
We the undersigned petition the Canadian government as follows:To ensure the voice and the values of women with metastatic breast cancer are included in the process by which decisions about access to metastatic breast cancer treatments are made, and that this process is both transparent and held accountable to timelines so patients are not left waiting and in the dark.Women with metastatic breast cancer need their voice and values included in the process which affect their health outcomes. Specifically:1. We need transparent information regarding the role, mandate and process of the Canadian Association of Provincial Cancer Agencies' Cancer Drug Implementation Advisory Committee (CDIAC) and how this new committee adds value to the way women with metastatic breast cancer are treated in an equitable and effective way.2. We need clear understanding of the selection process for patients, caregivers and the public for CDIAC and the terms of the role they will have.3. Women with metastatic breast cancer need specific and transparent timelines by which both pan-Canadian Pharmaceutical Alliance and pharmaceutical manufacturers are held accountable to when negotiating the price of cancer medications and signing a letter of intent.

Sounds Of Wedding Bells - Poem by Sylvia Chidi
They waited sixteen long years
For the sounds of wedding bells
The wedding bells ring, dingdong, dingdong
The wedding bells sing, dingdong, dingdong
For all to hear strikingly clear
Hold your silence and wish them well
It is the sounds of wedding bells
This aged love birds have been waiting for
Once unofficial honeys
From this point declared official
In this matrimonial ceremony
I wish them well
Their braveness is my acknowledgement
Their enduring fight is my guiding light
Their victory will go down in history
Together they compliment and compliment
Each other like a perfect pair of fitting shoes
One way or another they already knew
Long before the sound of wedding bells
They would love each other till the very end
So listen to the sound of wedding bells
As they sing dingdong, dingdong
Perhaps for you it wouldn't be long!

One work situation that Illinois wage and hour attorneys frequently encounter is one where the worker is covered by the Fair Labor Standard Act (FLSA) and the Illinois Minimum Wage Law (IMWL), but the employer pays the worker through a flat rate. While it is not unusual for certain industries to have alternate systems to the standard hourly rate — such as a "piece rate" standard, where workers are paid by each unit they produce and is legal — you should watch out for employers who use flat-rate schemes when they should be paying an hourly rate.
In Nunes v. Chicago Import, Inc., Plaintiff Jose Guadalupe Nunes and others sued defendant, a wholesale trading company, for unpaid wages, in violation of the FLSA and the IMWL. The plaintiffs worked as laborers for the defendant's import warehouses, which were typically open for business from Monday through Saturday between 9 a.m. and 8 p.m. Between 2007 and 2010, defendant paid the plaintiffs for their work through an arrangement that did not require them to pay a minimum wage. Instead, the plaintiffs were paid a flat weekly rate that never varied, even if the hours worked each week did. In 2010, defendant began paying hourly wages and requiring laborers to punch in and out on a time clock. Plaintiffs sought wages for hours worked during the time they were paid a flat rate.
While both parties agreed that the plaintiffs were paid a flat rate, they disagreed over whether the plaintiffs worked even 40 hours a week, let alone over 40 hours. The plaintiffs claimed that the hours on the time records were consistent with the hours they worked during the flat-rate period. The defendant claimed that while the plaintiffs worked during business hours, they came in late and left early. The defendant believed that the punch card records contradicted the plaintiffs' claims about the hours they worked, and pointed to testimony from the plaintiffs that they took 15 minute breakfast breaks two or three days a week. The defendant also pointed to records that showed a discrepancy between the plaintiffs' claims about what they were paid ($350 one week) and what they were actually paid ($500).
The plaintiffs moved for a ruling in their favor, arguing that the defendants had admitted their liability and had not presented enough evidence to undermine the reasonableness of the plaintiffs' claims. Judge Charles Kokoras of the Northern District of Illinois ruled in the plaintiffs' favor on most of the charges, since the defendant admitted that they did not pay the statutory minimum wage or overtime wages. However, the judge resisted issuing an entire summary judgment ruling in favor of the plaintiffs because on the issue of the amount owed, the defendant had provided enough just enough evidence to call the amount into doubt. Therefore, the judge allowed the case to continue to determine just how much the plaintiffs were owed.

The U.S. Dollar ($USD) has gained about 20% in less than a year. We observe it first in the weekly below. The U.S. Dollar is a significant driver of returns of other markets. For example, when the U.S. Dollar is rising, commodities like gold, oil, and foreign currencies like the Euro are usually falling. A rising U.S. Dollar also impacts international stocks priced in U.S. Dollar. When the U.S. Dollar trends up, many international markets priced in U.S. Dollars may trend down (reflecting the exchange rate). The U.S. Dollar may be trending up in anticipation of rising interest rates.

Unlocking the Mystery of Mass: Searching for the Higgs Boson Particle
Wendy Taylor, Ph.D., Canada Research Chair in Experimental Particle Physics, Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, York University
Why is the photon massless? Why is the top quark as heavy as 175 protons? How can electromagnetic phenomena and radioactive decay be due to the same force? Physicists on the new ATLAS experiment hope to answer these questions and more with the discovery of the elusive Higgs boson, the Holy Grail of particle physics for over thirty years. When the Large Hadron Collider at the CERN Laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland starts operation in spring 2008, it will expose physics never seen before. The ATLAS experiment will either discover the Higgs boson or something else even more intriguing. In this talk, I will discuss the motivation for postulating the Higgs boson, describe the LHC and the ATLAS experiment, and explain how the Higgs boson could be detected, giving you a flavour of the challenges and rewards of "big science" along the way.

Brain Rewards: From Singing Mice to Human Diseases
John Yeomans, Ph.D., Departments of Psychology and Cell and Systems Biology, U of T
Mice communicate by complex ultrasonic songs. Males sing to females for mating, females sing to females for food, and mouse pups sing when separated from their mothers. These songs tell scientists the emotional states of rats and mice, and have been linked with laughter, speech, happiness and sadness in humans. By deleting or adding single genes in mice, the genes needed for pleasure, social communication and perhaps language can be studied. In particular, we have deleted genes needed for the brain transmitters dopamine and acetylcholine to communicate messages for food, sex and drug rewards to brain neural circuits, as an approach to studying attachment, addiction and schizophrenia.

Getting to the Root of Cancer
John E. Dick, Ph.D., Division of Cell and Molecular Biology, University Health Network, and Dept. of Molecular Genetics and Microbiology, U of T
Two fundamental problems in cancer research are identification of the normal cell within which cancer begins and identification of which cell type in the tumour is capable of sustaining the growth of that cancer. There is overwhelming evidence that virtually all cancers begin in a single cell (that is, they are clonal). However, what is becoming clear is that not every one of the cancer cells that make up the tumour mass is equally the same. There is now evidence that for most cancers, only rare cells within the cancer are responsible for keeping the cancer growing. These were first identified in blood cancers (leukemia). We called these cells leukemic stem cells (LSC). Most cells in a leukemia grow rapidly, but the LSC grow very slowly, but are still very powerful as they keep making more of the fast-growing leukemia cells. Because they grow so slowly they are resistant to most kinds of chemotherapy that are designed to kill the fast-growing cells. This can explain why leukemia can come back after treatment. So to truly get rid of the leukemia, you have to find ways of eliminating the LSC. It turns out that solid tumours also have these rare so-called Cancer Stem Cells (CSC) and there is much current work going on to understand the properties of these CSC and how they might escape therapy.

Flying Through Storms: Greenland's Impact on the Climate System
G. W. Kent Moore, Ph.D., Dept. of Chemical and Physical Sciences, U of T at Mississauga
Greenland has a major influence on the atmospheric circulation of the North Atlantic-Western Europe region, dictating the location and strength of small-scale weather systems around its coastal seas and directly influencing large-scale weather systems both locally and downstream over Europe. One can think of this sizeable 300-metre-high ice-covered barrier acting to deflect flow both over and around it with both local and remote consequences. In this talk, I will present the first-ever observations of the role that weather systems near southern Greenland play in the climate system that were collected with an instrumented research aircraft during February 2007.

How did that Chemical that was Inside my Computer Get Inside of Me?
Miriam Diamond, Ph.D., Dept. of Geography; Dept. of Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry Centre for Environment,
U of T
Numerous synthetic chemicals have enabled us to live our relatively comfortable and convenient lives that include considerable technological sophistication. Some of these chemicals can inadvertently escape into the environment and enter us. Problems can arise and have arisen when the chemicals have the potential to act as toxins and when the chemicals are persistent. We will examine two classes of such chemicals -- polybrominated diphenyl ethers, that are used as flame retardants in electronic equipment and furnishings, and polychlorinated biphenyls, that were and are used in electrical equipment and other applications. We will trace the origin of these chemicals in various products and how they enter us via the indoor environment and our food.

Sticky Fingers Sharpen Our Sense of Hearing -- Understanding the Causes of Deafness
Dorothea Godt, Ph.D., Dept. of Cell and Systems Biology, U of T www.zoo.utoronto.ca/dgodt/godthome.html
Some forms of deafness are hereditary, others are induced by the environment. In either case, the hearing loss is often caused by a disturbance of the finger-like structures that stick out from the surface of the sound receptors in our inner ear. Normally, these fingers are arranged like organ pipes and are held together by strings. Under the impact of incoming sound waves they bend like grass in the wind. This signals the sound receptor to send a nerve impulse to the brain, where the information is interpreted as sound. Any defect in the finger bundle disrupts the signalling process, and therefore the ability to hear. In recent years, much progress has been made in finding the molecules that are important to make and maintain the 'sound fingers' and are critical for preventing deafness. Mice and flies help us to decipher how these molecules work.

Three Centuries of Leonhard Euler
Craig G. Fraser, Ph.D., Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology, U of T
Leonhard Euler (1707-1783) was the greatest mathematician of the eighteenth century, occupying a position in mathematics analogous to that of Bach in music or Goethe in literature. Some fifty years after his death the French scientist François Arago wrote "Euler calculated without apparent effort, as men breathe, or the eagles sustain themselves in the wind." The 300th anniversary of Euler's birth has been marked by a resurgence of interest in Euler studies, with scholarly conferences held throughout the world to commemorate and to document his extensive contributions to mathematical science. We examine Euler's career at the academies of Berlin and St. Petersburg and describe some of the innovations for which he is best known. Among these was his introduction of the function concept to formalize the diverse range of geometric forms employed by earlier mathematicians to represent relations among variables and constants. Euler's vast labours in calculus-related parts of mathematics earned for him the historical title of "analysis incarnate."

Did you know you can get garbage bags, ball point pens and even park benches made from recycled plastic? That building insulation can be made from recycled newspaper? That door mats are being made from recycled tires? Hundreds of American companies manufacture products from recycled materials. At their own expense, they've developed the technology and equipment to produce the items. Now we have to make sure somebody buys them.
Our current project is convincing state and local governments to buy recycled products. Last week I listed a few of the basic resources that can help purchasing managers in local governments move toward a recycled products purchasing policy. Assuming they're interested, the next question will be a simple, practical one: "What recycled products are available?" To make your point, you'll need to supply some specifics. This list illustrates the surprisingly wide variety of "recycled" alternatives:
*Conservatree Paper Co., 10 Lombard St., Suite 250, San Francisco, Calif. 94111; (415) 433-1000. Distributes recycled paper.
*PIMBYCO, P.O. Box 240, Purdys, N.Y. 10578; (914) 277-8872. Wholesalers of pens, rulers, scissors and other office products made from recycled plastics.

I don't think there's anything I love more than fall/winter shopping, which definitely includes boot shopping. There are so many choices: color, riding, ankle, embellished, leather, suede, the list just keeps going. This year, I'm on the hunt for a few new pairs.
I'm waiting to snatch up those Minnetonka moccasins while vacationing in North Carolina later next month. Why would I not buy moccasins while on Indian tribal land in Cherokee, NC?
I've been desperate for a pair of black riding boots, but have never found a pair I really love. I'm thinking that might change this year. Those Wasee riding boots by Nine West are screaming my name.
Combat boots have made a big return to the scene in the past year, and I think they toughen up any fall look perfectly.
Little black booties are great for dressier occasions, and work with pants, skirts and dresses. They are so versatile it's almost a sin to not own a pair.
Aren't L.L. Bean boots on everyone's wish list? Just me? Okay.
What boots are on your wishlist this season?

How to Clean Tires and Rims
In this Article:TiresNon Chrome RimsChrome RimsCommunity Q&A
Anybody that owns a car has the issue of tires. Whether it is simply keeping them inflated, or the more complicated issue of keeping them looking clean. Tires were meant to get dirty. But if you follow a few simple steps, you can cheat the rules and keep your tires looking clean.
1Spray a synthetic wheel cleaner onto dry tires and allow five minutes to set in and lift off grime.
2Rinse off cleaner with a hose, being sure to remove all traces of the cleaner.
3Examine the tires. If they are still not up to expectations, allow surface to dry and then repeat steps 1 and 2.
4Apply tire wetting formula to the walls of the tire. If it is spray on, simply let the foam work its way into the tires and dry. If using a gel, however, apply to an applicator sponge specialized for the purpose and apply as needed.
Non Chrome Rims
Chrome Rims
1Know that polishes may be used after the initial cleaner to create a mirror like finish. These usually cost from 1-5 dollars.
2Make sure that the rims are not in direct sunlight. Apply the polish to a micro-fiber cloth or specialized applicator sponge, and use on the surface of the rim.
3Allow the polish to dry to a haze, and then rub to a clean finish with a micro-fiber cloth.
Community Q&A
QuestionHow do I clean the build up on the inside of wheel rims?wikiHow ContributorCommunity AnswerThe same way you do the outside, the exception being that you should remove the wheel to ensure you're getting the cleaner and brush into every area.

- Make absolutely sure that you do not apply polish to rims in direct sunlight. It will bake the polish on and you will have poor results.
- After putting chrome polish, or Windex, on a wheel, consider using liquid car polish. This will put a protective layer over the chrome polish that will keep it looking clean for a lot longer.
- Tires should be dry when applying wheel cleaner
- If you want a high gloss shine on your tires (Gel only), dab the tire wet gel onto the tire, using liberal amounts to cover the entire wall. But if you are looking for a lower shine that will last longer, apply in a traditional rubbing motion.
Things You'll Need
- Recommended Brands shown in parentheses:
- Wheel Cleaner (Black Magic Titanium Wheel Cleaner)
- Glass Cleaner (Windex)
- Tire Wet (Black Magic Titanium Tire Wet Gel)
- Car Wax (Turtle Wax ICE Synthetic Liquid Polish)
