WASHINGTON — We've been waiting for this moment since the creation of the Super Bowl back in 1967. A home team to make it to the Super Bowl.
It's pretty fitting that the GOAT, Tom Brady was the one to finally break through, and to do it after leaving the New England Patriots and their six Super Bowl rings behind.
However, the question isn't how cool is this moment, it's how much of an advantage do the Bucs have?
The answer is not much.
The Chiefs already beat the Bucs in Tampa Bay 27-24 earlier this season with just under 16,000 fans in the stands. This time around there will be roughly 22,000 fans, but they won't all be cheering for the Bucs.
Roughly 7,000 vaccinated healthcare workers will make up roughly a third of the crowd and a lot of them have been invited from the Kansas City area. There will still be more Bucs fans, than Chiefs fans in the building, but it won't be what we've all imagined a home Super Bowl game would look like.
Nothing will be normal about this week and that includes the Chiefs staying in Kansas City until late in the week.
There won't be the media frenzy and the big corporate Super Bowl parties. There will be Zoom media availability and people will most likely forget to mute themselves.
The one advantage the Bucs will have is familiarity. Familiarity with the town, the facility and where the good takeout restaurants are.
Will that be enough? That's the question of the day.
In this episode of Locked On Today, Peter Bukowski takes you through all the news you need to know in order to be Locked on Today. The Lions and Rams agreed to a blockbuster deal and we hear from both sides on how this went down and what position each team is in moving forward. There was a buzzer beater, a streak ended and a Royal Rumble. Plus the Q of the day, how much of an advantage does Tampa have playing at home in the Super Bowl?

One man, one very long powerpoint. Still interesting facts and stories can overcome the inefficiencies of 8 gillion words on each slide.
On to the story:
Dion Hinchliffe – Speaker – Next Gen Apps
Links: summary, reviews, personal blog, slideshare (not including this presentation)
API's. The world of the interwebs is being taken over by them. The most common distribution methods for these open API's are (1) RSS, (2) REST, (3) JSON, (4) SOAP. An API is:
- An interface for letting a program communicate with another program.
- Interface that enables one program to use facilities provided by another,
- The specific method prescribed by a computer operating system or by another application program by which a programmer writing an application program can make requests of the operating system or another application.
So, as you can tell an API is pretty complicated. The version we are talking about is an Open API. Which basically means you give out your data. You give up control of your data for a greater gain. When you do so, many things can happen. The current success stories for this new method are web platforms where folks interact with the site, share with it, link to it, and more. Dion, now dives into that.
Of these API's RSS is by far the most popular. Althoug, the more complicated (sophisticated uses for) version is REST and is generally considered, as stated by Dion to be "the best practice" one in the community
- RSS – its a news feed. It sends you new things (news, photos, videos, etc.) whenever they are posted. The basic function is for a site to offer this service and a customer to subscribe to it. In the middle are several clients that read them, sites to store them, and much more "middlemen".
- REST – "an approach for getting information content from a Web site by reading a designated Web page that contains an XML file that describes and includes the desired content. For example, REST could be used by an online publisher to make syndicated content available. Periodically, the publisher would prepare and activate a Web page that included content and XML statements that described the content. Subscribers would need only to know the URL for the page…"
- JSON – "a lightweight data-interchange format. It is easy for humans to read and write. It is easy for machines to parse and generate. It is based on a subset of the JavaScript Programming Language."
- SOAP – "a way for a program running in one kind of operating system…to communicate with a program in the same or another kind of an operating system…by using HTTP and XML as the mechanisms for information exchange."
Using an API to build a platform…use widgets. Widgets allow others to take your content and put into a nifty little box on some other site. These boxes are very cutesy and usable, the web loves them. Each user of this box counts as a customer for you, even though they may never visit your site, just use your widget.
Originally a term used by musicians to combine different music genres. Now, in "technology, a mashup is a web application that combines data from more than one source into a single integrated tool; an example is the use of cartographic data from Google Maps to add location information to real-estate data from Craigslist, thereby creating a new and distinct web service that was not originally provided by either source." [1]
This is the new fab. It is the darling of the web world and for good reason. "Ajax (sometimes called Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) is a way of programming for the Web that gets rid of the hourglass." Designed to provide rich websites with incredible speed, the example provided on this link talks about, Google Maps. Stating that you should "try out Google Maps for a few seconds. Scroll around and watch as the map updates almost before your eyes. There is very little lag and you don't have to wait for pages to refresh or reload."
- Learn the business of web (i.e. attend his talks).
- Study the competition (and then one-up them)
- Really get to know your customers (they are in your backyard, go have a chat and/or spy from the upstairs window)
- Fundamentals (what are they? ask your customers…)
- Be open to the latest tools (as soon as the new iPhone comes out buy it!)
Great overview. He goes really quick, but takes the time to explain everything. I would still like to see the fundamentals continually presented throughout the presentation. This is a lot to take in and its not about just learning every programming language. Its more about the fundamentals and concepts of this new technology. I would like to see someone think deeply about what the core fundamentals are and then provide a presentation that fits everything into those core concepts.

Firday 5 + 1 for August 23 - You Too?
1. Is it getting better, or do you feel the same? (from "One")
Actually everything is slowly going to hell in a handbasket.
2. Do you shiver when you dream? Is there a pounding in your heart? (from "You're the Only One that's Real")
There better not be pounding in my heart. That could be a sign of a possible cardiac arrest. Death perhaps! See #1.
3. Is the sweetest melody the one we haven't heard? Is it true that perfect love drives out all fear? (from "I'll Go Crazy if I Don't Go Crazy Tonight")
A tree falls in a forest but do you hear it if you are not there?
4. Do you feel anything at all? (from "Miracle Drug")
Certainly and it depends on the circumstances.
5. It's gonna itch and burn and sting; do you want to see what the scratching brings? (from "Staring at the Sun")
Scratching usually brings on irritation, medication, a band aid and a scar. Burning can bring on severe disfigurement or death.
6. Do you feel loved? (from "Do You Feel Loved?")
Huh? What's that? See #1.

Emerald Cocktail Ring Vintage Leaf Swag Design 1970s Jewelry #15912
Made in the 1970s, this vintage cocktail ring is a smashing elegant design in big leaf swag motif.
This stacked and layered design features long slender emerald crystal navettes, accented with diamondesque tiny crystal chatons. Notice the side profile photo of the ring; how the design is set up or out on long arm like settings.
The ring is a fixed size 6 1/4. The face of the ring is 3/4" or 23 mm long. The ring is not solid gold and it is not signed. It is heavy gold electroplate of fine quality from the 1970s.
It was most likely designer made as it looks like vintage cocktail rings that were made by Vargas and Vendome.
The entire ring is in pristine clean like new condition with no imperfections or flaws. It has obviously never been worn. All of the crystals are original and present with no scratches, chips, or facet wear. There is no gold wear or loss of gold.
Comes gift wrapped and shipped in a new luxury presentation ring box.

There is a writer somewhere near
That heard my story on a silent wave
That wafted through a window gaping wide
And whispered neatly in his ear.
My story did inspire his hands
That tapped away at clicking keys
And came together bound in leather
Into books that sat on shelves
And made the people laugh and cry,
To feel my human soul just sigh.
I sometimes feel like books were written for me and then less frequently there are occasions when the book seems to be written about me. I'm reading one of those at the moment, and I feel like it's the sign of a good book; when the words speak to you on such a level that you really believe your story entered the writer's psyche.
I wonder if the writer does sit at their desk and there is some magical spirit like substance that permeates their room, giving them an idea that is so close to your own story that you have to pause while reading the words, just to catch your breath.
I read Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert a couple of years ago and she talked about writing a story that didn't work out for her. And the day she decided to give up the story, she visited her friend, Ann Patchett. She hugged her friend and sat having a lovely coffee with her, never mentioning the story that she had decided was a failure.
A couple of months later she spoke to Ann again and Ann told her that since their last meeting she had been writing a story and she described the exact plot that Elizabeth had been working on. It was as though the idea had just bounced from one writer to the other.
So, if these creative ideas do just bounce around the atmosphere, surely our own life stories are out there to be grabbed and written down? To me, that's quite an incredible thought.
Much Love

With the deadline for host cities to bid on the new Big 12/SEC semifinal set for August 22, Cowboys Stadium in Arlington has emerged as one of three likely finalists:↵
Arlington, New Orleans & Atlanta only cities that definitely will bid for Champions Bowl, sources tell↵— Brett McMurphy (@McMurphyESPN) August 14, 2012
@espn. 2 won't bid; 5 undecided.
Dallas, which already hosts a Cotton Bowl game that pits the two conferences against each other, would have to be considered the early front-runner, since neither Atlanta nor New Orleans have facilities nearly as impressive as the billion-dollar plus behemoth commonly known as "Jerry World" or "The Death Star".↵
The Big 12 would almost certainly prefer that the game be played closer to their home turf than all the way in Atlanta, an SEC-dominated market that already hosts the SEC Championship Game. The SEC, meanwhile, is already fairly familiar with the set-up in Arlington, as LSU opened the 2011 season here against Oregon while Alabama will square off with Michigan at the end of the month.↵
Winning the bid would be the latest feather in the cap for Jerry Jones, who has already won the right to host many of the most high-profile sporting events in the world (Super Bowl, Final Four, NBA All-Star Game championship boxing fights) since his newest toy was opened in 2010.↵

Jacobus Henricus van't Hoff, a Dutch scientist, conducted studies in the late 1800s that led to the birth of a new scientific field: physical chemistry.
In 1872 van't Hoff (1852–1911) went to Bonn to study for a year. From August Kekulé he learned of a possible tetrahedral arrangement of the valence bonds of carbon, proposed by the Russian chemist Alexander Butlerov in 1862.
O. Bertrand Ramsay
Research in Stereochemistry
In 1873, after moving to Paris to work with Charles Adolphe Wurtz, van't Hoff realized that the phenomenon of optical activity possessed by some organic molecules—their ability to rotate plane-polarized light—could be explained by the two possible arrangements of four different substituents in the space around a carbon atom.
This theory provided substantial indication that the molecular structures being discussed by the chemists of the time had a physical reality in three-dimensional space and were not just aids to conceptualizing molecules. (Another graduate student working in Wurtz's laboratory, Joseph Achille Le Bel, arrived at the same explanation of optical activity independently.)
The Field of Physical Chemistry Is Born
Edgar Fahs Smith Memorial Collection, Kislak Center for Special Collections, Rare Books and Manuscripts, University of Pennsylvania
Van't Hoff returned to the Netherlands to complete his doctoral degree. He was soon appointed lecturer in theoretical and physical chemistry at the University of Amsterdam, where he stayed for 20 years.There he conducted the studies of reaction rates, chemical equilibrium, chemical affinity, and osmotic pressures that helped found the discipline of physical chemistry. In 1896 he moved to the University of Berlin, and in 1901 he became the first Nobel laureate in chemistry for his work in physical chemistry.

Arts & Culture Commission
The Fishers Arts & Culture Commission will host opportunities for residents of Fishers to provide input on what arts and culture will look like in Fishers for generations to come.
Please complete this form to be notified when opportunities are available.
Arts & Culture Initiative
Over the last several years, new public and performance art has popped up around the Nickel Plate District, located in the heart of downtown Fishers.
Public art ranging from painted electrical boxes, to banners at The Edge parking garage, to a new mural at Handel's Homemade Ice Cream & Yogurt, infuse creativity and vibrancy into the District.
Last summer, the City debuted the newly renovated Nickel Plate District Amphitheater—home to the popular summer concert series and Fishers Farmers' Market—and hosted the inaugural Spark!Fishers festival, a community celebration honoring Fishers' history and culture.
The annual Arts Crawl event, in collaboration with the Fishers Arts Council, Nickel Plate Arts, and the Nickel Plate District Business Council, connects local businesses with artists for a unique cultural experience.
Recent highlights in Fishers' arts and cultural initiatives:
- In September 2018, the City was recognized as the Emerging Arts Champion of the Year by Nickel Plate Arts. This honor is awarded annually to an individual or entity that supports local arts and artists through collaboration, promotional efforts, and creativity.
- In August 2018, Fishers City Council adopted an ordinance to create an Arts & Culture Commission to facilitate a more comprehensive and strategic approach to arts and culture in the city. The Commission seeks to engage and promote all forms of performing and visual art in Fishers in support of community and economic development efforts. The Commission became effective in January 2019.
- In December 2018, the Indiana Arts Commission (IAC) officially designated Fishers' Nickel Plate District as a Statewide Cultural District.
Arts & Culture Master Plan

In today's Times, public editor Byron Calame interviews standards editor Allan Siegal and comes up with an answer that demands a follow-up question:
By the charter that my job was given when it was set up, I have the guaranteed right to go not just to the executive editor with any misgivings I have, but directly to the publisher. On one occasion, when I thought that there was too much opinion seeping into the news pages, I went to both of them simultaneously.
And just what occasion was that?
Also, Siegal reacts to the blogs:
Q. How have reader expectations about the paper's standards changed over the past few years?
A. It's a very hard question to answer because with the blogs out there drumming up opposition to the "mainstream media," and with the Bush administration and some of its most fervent supporters drumming up contempt for the news media – for the Eastern liberal news media, so called – it's very hard to tell which expressions of reader sentiment are genuine….
Oh, I'd say that if someone took the effort to write what they thought, it's genuine. And this:
Q. What have been the most important changes in the standards editor's job?
A. The big one that I've mentioned is the degree of scrutiny and our awareness of the scrutiny from the blogs, and the degree of expectation on the outside that we must be doing something wrong and we're not to be trusted. So we have to explain ourselves and prove we mean well, and in ways that we once probably wouldn't have had to.
I'd say you always should have, whether you had to or not.

One thing which I regret with my previous stays is that I did not take advantage of the free activities in Shangri-la Mactan aside from the non-motorized sports. I think its a good idea to be locked up in the resort for two to three days in order to fully enjoy the activities Shangri-la has to offer. After all, 90% of the activities are free including intro scuba and yoga!
If you will be in the resort during weekdays, I encourage you to try the intro scuba in the main pool. It was such a nice experience and the lesson is one on one. This 30 minute activity is free! The oxygen tank will cost you thousands alone in other diving class places.
Morning Yoga in Chi Spa

If you have kids, the play center will come very handy.

Unlimited Pre Fixe Brunch at Masa 14
10 Jan
I recently heard about the deal at Masa 14 for Sunday brunch, and upon first glance, it seemed too good to be true. My friend Livya and I decided to check it out for ourselves and indulge on unlimited tapas and drinks for $35.
We decided to order some drinks first, with Livya choosing the Masa Mimosa while I got the Lychee Bellini. Both were very refreshing and we hardly noticed when they would come by with pitchers to refill. I think we each had about four glasses, but it was hard to tell since the servers never let our glasses go empty.
To start, we ordered the Daily Petite Quiche, Hijiki Seaweed-jicama Salad, Petite Mushroom Escabeche Omelet, Veggie Benedict, Black Bean Puree, and Spiced Tuna Steak. Granted, this may appear like an excessive amount of food, but Masa 14 specializes in Latin-Asian tapas, so these smaller plates are meant to be shared.
Overall, everything was delicious, with some standouts like the seaweed salad, tuna, and omelet. Some of the dishes were definitely heavier than others, and before we knew it, we were getting full with all the plates in front of us.
The rare tuna steak came on a sandwich bun along with a small but thick piece of bacon, avocado, and wasabi. The bread wasn't really necessary so we discarded it to focus on the high quality piece of fish. The Veggie Benedict was actually a variety of roasted vegetables with a poached egg atop a piece of challah bread. Again, a nice dish but the bread seemed to overpower the rest of it. The black bean puree was a perfect bite with a scoop of the puree with poached egg on a tortilla chip.
We decided to order a few more items to stretch out our relaxing and gluttonous Sunday. Up next was the Fruit and Granola with yuzu yogurt, the Pan Dulce with ancho whipped cream and pineapple syrup, and to top it off, the Crunchy Shrimp. I know looking at these selections, you might think, "dessert, dessert, and shrimp?" Yes, it definitely did not belong, but with unlimited options to choose from, it was simply too hard to resist. The sesame crusted shrimp came with a chipolti aioli sauce that went perfectly together. We only ate one or two, and then it was on to dessert.
The fruit, granola, and yogurt combo was nice and light, and definitely the healthiest thing we ate all day. The large chunks of homemade granola were nice and crunchy and elevated the dish to more than just a bowl of fruit. The Pan Dulce tasted just like French toast and was a perfect way to end the meal.
All in all, brunch at Masa 14 is a great opportunity to try lots of different items on the menu without feeling limited by price. It's hard to tell how much of a deal it was, since we didn't individually add up each dish to see if we would have spent as much or less compared to ordering a la carte.
However, the unlimited drinks alone makes the $35 brunch worthwhile. If we went with a larger party we would have been able to try more dishes, but regardless, we undeniably left satisfied. I could potentially see us going with a group of 10 and basically ordering the entire menu, with everyone being able to have more than their fair share of food while already knowing up front what the bill would amount to. Hmm, this year's birthday idea perhaps?

Mao pushed Kim Snr into it as part of his machinations for more military hardware from Russia.

It worked as well; the US publicly contemplated using Nukes, so Mao then had the leverage needed to get technicians and supplies from Russia to start China's nuclear programme.

The less fat chick in the foreground of the pic with the masturbating whale looks like she is giving that dude a reverse reach-around.

^ It is called LAMEbook ya know.

third one is not a "background check" because they are obviously posing to have their picture taken with the crack guy. background checks are ACCIDENTS.
geez lamebook.

First one: Keep this in mind when planning the destination wedding of your dreams.
Second one: If he bags them both after she regains conciousness, is it considered MORE than a three-way?
Third one: You were in Vegas and that was the most scandalous picture you had? Either it was early or you were just not trying.
Is this it? I've been waiting for something better
…and Dukey: Less fat chick?
Dukey Smoothy Buns March 16th, 2011 at 7:26 pm
Less-Fat chick. I couldn't say skinnier because that would imply some skinniness.
Hawkbit March 16th, 2011 at 8:26 pm
Those chicks in pic 3 are hot!
It's just her upper arm, maybe she's just had a baby. Why else would people get married? She's not fat though- Gosh the body standard on here…!
Dukey Smoothy Buns March 16th, 2011 at 9:37 pm
Anybody care to help me and Saffer decide if that girl is fat or not?
I vote not fat. Just not skinny.
Dukey, you know how harsh I can be when it comes to the fatties, but I have to say I'm with saff on this one. She's not fat. She's not even close to fat. She appears to be within a healthy weight range. On another note, though, the dude she's marrying looks old enough to be her daddy.
I think she just has a really big head… a bison head.
wait.. are we talking about puke bucket or skinny bride here?
The child bride. Puke chick, on the other hand, is fat. Check out those thighs.
pbaseoul March 16th, 2011 at 10:22 pm
Dukey's original comment at #5 was pretty clearly about puke bucket.
oh- well child bride makes it very easy to tell… fat people always have those weird lumps hanging under their chins.. she gives us a perfect side shot and is clear of chin sag. hands down skinny.
That married couple really should have planned the location better or dressed down…
#1 – The bride is passable for now. But after getting married? She will fulfill her density in short order.
#2 – Havoc II: The College Years.
#3 – I've always felt that the slots just lead to a gaping hole of no return.
#23, in that case, I agree with Dukey. She's fat.
And if the first picture has been doing the rounds of the internet for years, then it's quite possible that the topless walrus is my French stepmother before she lost a lot of weight. I (unfortunately) have pictures of her in a very similar bathing suit. Actually, they are way worse that this one.
#23 "less fat," "foregorund"… I dunno but I think that implies the bride, because it's clear that word's French stepmom is FAT.
you know the game word :pics
Soup Havoc III, another unrelated movie goes by the title Havoc II… don't ask why I know this *hides face with hair*
The guy in the last pic intrigues me; the way he is sat in the chair, what is he doing with his right hand?…. and most mysteriously, the two hands on his back from someone out of shot.
havemercy March 17th, 2011 at 3:33 am
Ugh, that first one has been around forever. How many more times do we have to see that shit?
Dukey Smoothy Buns March 17th, 2011 at 5:02 am
Just for the closure, "masturbating whale" is the puke bucket girl.
vincent March 17th, 2011 at 5:13 am
everyone on all of these pictures is fat, apart from the paedo in the beige suit and the two deformed slatterns in the casino. to those of you saying that the bride isn't fat: she might be sucking in her pot-belly beneath that tacky dress, but you can't suck in your upper arms. this is clearly a sham marriage: she's fat, blotchy and desperate, he's a sex offender in need of an alibi.
i'm not sure why the second one is on lamebook, i swear i saw the very same picture in national geographic. it was an article about a particularly resourceful herd of manatees who would lure unsuspecting sailors onto the rocks before raping them and feasting on their flesh.
saff, honey, I would never subject you to those pics. The misunderstanding about which chick Dukey was referring to is the most amusing thing about this thread. Buddy, the chick in the foreground of the second pic with the huge head possibly doing a reverse reach-around; the one you were (apparently) originally talking about, is pretty damn sturdy, yes.
And, vincent, welcome back. But the bride is not fat.
scottydug March 17th, 2011 at 7:32 am
#1 I'd be pissed off if I was trying to get a photo for the wank bank and some fucking wedding got in the way.
ahh yes, I get it now- guess I had a slow day yesterday not to have noticed pic 2. Yes she's fat, no doubt.
napoleon March 17th, 2011 at 9:47 am
How much would you say you guys hate women on a scale of 10 to 10? 10?
ddluxxx March 17th, 2011 at 3:55 pm
The guy in the second picture was on TLC's show Addicted! When the show aired, he was hooked on Meth & the chick he was dating at the time hired Kristina Wandzilak for the intervention and all of that. She was talking to him and he was like, "I wanna change my life too blah blah blah," and she was like, "That's nice but I was hired for her. Whatever happens to you, I don't really care." I shouldn't laugh, but it's funny how she just shut him down like that! It doesn't seem like he's improved much.

The establishment of a local energy exchange, being incorporated into an imminent draft bill carrying various bailout requirements, will aim to achieve three main objectives.
The first of these will be to harmonize the Greek energy market with all European markets. A second objective will aim for greater competition and transparency, which should offer households and enterprises lower energy costs. A third objective will be to offer energy supply security to the country's energy mix through diversified energy sources, including greater renewable energy participation.
The establishment of an energy exchange has been incorporated into the Target Model, a process entailing the electricity wholesale market's harmonisation with EU law.
The energy exchange promises to bridge Greece's day-ahead market with the Italian and Bulgarian markets, as well as those of other neighboring EU member states, depending on their degree of readiness.
The Target Model is expected to significantly bolster the industrial sector as, on the one hand, energy costs are expected to drop, and, on the other, industrial enterprises will be able to participate in the energy market and establish supply deals with electricity producers. This will provide industrial enterprises with full control over their long-term energy costs.

11 Hidden Reasons Your Internet Is So Slow
If your video is lagging and downloads are taking forever, don't bang your head on your keyboard. Try these fixes to put your digital life back in the fast lane.
Your Wireless Connection is Iffy
"Make sure the home computer is connected via a wired Ethernet cord for performance reasons—especially if you feel that you don't know what you are doing. This is because wired is a closed system where variables can be controlled. Wireless is an open system and the environment (and performance) is constantly changing."—Trevor Textor, IT infrastructure specialist
Plus: Learn how to make wifi much faster in your home here.
Your Router is Cheap
"Make sure home routing/switching gear is top notch. Twenty-dollar gigabit switches are fine, but routers under $200 will likely not function well. This is because routers are essentially PCs with purpose-built software. They make them cheaper by putting in less expensive CPUs and less memory. A router above $200 will actually weigh more. This is a good sign. More CPU and memory takes more metal."—Trevor Textor, IT infrastructure specialist. Here are free things on the Internet everyone should use.
You Don't Know your Mbps
"When dealing with the Internet the term 'Mbps' frequently crops up in association with connection speed, prefaced by a number (e.g. 75/75 Mbps). However, most people have no idea what Mbps stands for, let alone any concept of what it actually is—what's a good number? What's a bad number?. Think of it this way: Mbps is to the internet what horsepower is to cars. You can actually just type in 'speed test' into your Google search bar and select the first option that comes up—Google's speed test. It's fast and reliable."—Ryan Hansen, a Verizon Business Internet specialist
You Don't Have Enough Horsepower
"After you know your Mbps, you should determine how much speed you actually need. This is based on how many people are using your Internet connection, and what they're using it for—streaming TV, streaming music, browsing the Internet, etc. If you're living alone and just streaming music and browsing, for example, 5 Mbps may be enough. If you're a family that likes to stream frequently, you should be looking for around 20 Mbps." –Victoria Merinda, a technology expert from HighSpeedInternet.com
You Need A Better Plan
"If you've checked your speed, compared it with the number your Internet provider should be getting, and the numbers match up, then you might just be paying for slow Internet. In this case, you might want to consider opting for an upgrade."—Ryan Hansen, a Verizon Business Internet specialist.
You're On An Overloaded Channel
"The problem might also be the channel that your WiFi is on. Like radio, different WiFi signals connect to different channels. You can use a tool like Network Analyzer Lite (for iOS) or Wifi Analyzer (for Android) to see if your WiFi channel is overloaded and/or manually choose a new one."—Ryan Hansen, a Verizon Business Internet specialist. Did you know you can upgrade your garage door with wifi? Here's how.
Time for a Modem Reset
"If you're getting slower Internet than you're supposed to, you can try resetting your modem and router (turning them off and on again). You might also want to check the other devices in your house before or after this step. If it's just one device that's slow, you might just have a hardware problem."
"If the lights on your modem and router all come on like they're supposed to after resetting them, try grabbing the ethernet cable that your ISP should have given you when they installed your Internet to connect your computer directly to the modem. Reset the modem again. if you have Internet after this, it's a router problem. If not, it's time to call your ISP."—Ryan Hansen, a Verizon Business Internet specialist
Your WiFi is in a Bad Spot
"Try moving your router out into the open, if you normally keep yours in a cabinet or closet. Have open space for its signal can have a remarkable improvement on your WiFi speed. If you have a big home, it might be a distance issue from your router. Try testing your speed when you're near your router versus when you're farther away. If you notice a difference, it might be worth investing in some WiFi extenders for a mesh network." –Ryan Hansen, a Verizon Business Internet specialist. These are the dangerous reason why you should never, ever use public WiFi.
Other Devices Are Causing Interference
"There are devices in your home/office causing interference to your WiFi signal. Electronic devices that are emitting radio frequency (radio, TV, monitors, etc.) can cause this. Try removing them from your space to check whether they are the issue."—Mike Khorev, Nine Peaks Media Plus: Check out the top reasons you should upgrade to a mesh router.
Background Programs Are Eating Up Bandwidth
"Games and programs that work with videos, in particular, can heavily impact your network and cause connections to appear slow. It's easy to forget these applications are running. Check your computers for any programs that are running in the background when you troubleshoot a slow network."—Bradley Mitchell, writing for Lifewire.com
Your Computer Has A Virus
"Sometimes, your computers get infected with viruses that steal your resources without you knowing and will slow down your Internet speed. Install effective and trusted antivirus software to avoid this."—Sean Si, CEO and Founder of SEO Hacker, Qeryz, Sigil, and Workplays. Next, find out how to protect yourself online.

ROGUE Dragon Bracelet
This chunky bracelet has a stainless steel dragon head with sections of chainmaille rope, thick curb chains, and a squared link near the clasp. The round segment clasp hooks through the dragon's mouth.
Choose between two lengths or request a special length after ordering. Since this bracelet is thick, it requires more length to wrap around the wrist. A good sizing rule for bracelets is an inch longer than your wrist circumference. Add 1.25" or up to 1.5" for thicker bracelets like this one.

This is a review of another reading from H.P Lovecraft this time with S.T Joshi reading "Pickman's Model" and the soundtrack is once again provided by Theologian and the album will be released in November by Cadabra Records.
Ambient style soundscapes start off the album while also mixing in the atmosphere of a classic horror movie before adding in spoken word parts which starts off the story which deals with the problems of the main character before talking about Pickman and the North End and the story also starts taking a darker turn.
The main character talks about how he dropped off Pickman and also mentions he is afraid to talk to the place about it while also mentioning the Pickman's art skills which also has an esoteric and occult touch and the paintings are a lot more different and supernatural than the actual paintings while also comparing it to the Middle Ages.
After awhile the story starts mentioning Pickman as being inhuman while also mentioning his ancestors being witches from Salem burning the 17th century and the story also starts getting more frightening and supernatural and the stress off telling his story also leads to him needing more alcoholic drinks and the paintings also get more esoteric and forbidden and they also invoke changeling and the story starts taking a more evil turn.
In my opinion this is another great sounding reading from H.P Lovecraft and the background music makes the story sound more evil and if you are a fan of this author, you should check out this album. 8/5 out of 10.

Our Work Here is Done
By Aaron Gustafson | March 1st, 2013
Thanks to the hard work of countless WaSP members and supporters (like you), Tim Berners-Lee's vision of the web as an open, accessible, and universal community is largely the reality.
When The Web Standards Project (WaSP) formed in 1998, the web was the battleground in an ever-escalating war between two browser makers—Netscape and Microsoft—who were each taking turns "advancing" HTML to the point of collapse. You see, in an effort to one-up each other, the two browsers introduced new elements and new ways of manipulating web documents; this escalated to the point where their respective 4.0 versions were largely incompatible.
Realizing that this fragmentation would inevitably drive up the cost of building websites and ran the risk of denying users access to content and services they needed, Glenn Davis, George Olsen, and Jeffrey Zeldman co-founded WaSP and rallied an amazing group of web designers and developers to help them push back. The WaSP's primary goal was getting browser makers to support the standards set forth by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
In 2001, with the browser wars largely over, WaSP began to shift its focus. While some members continued to work with browser vendors on improving their standards support, others began working closely with software makers like Macromedia to improve the quality of code being authored in tools such as Dreamweaver. And others began the hard slog of educating web designers and developers about the importance of using web standards, culminating in the creation of WaSP InterAct, a web curriculum framework which is now overseen by the W3C.
Thanks to the hard work of countless WaSP members and supporters (like you), Tim Berners-Lee's vision of the web as an open, accessible, and universal community is largely the reality. While there is still work to be done, the sting of the WaSP is no longer necessary. And so it is time for us to close down The Web Standards Project.
Many (if not all) of us are continuing to work in the world of web standards, but our work is now largely outside the umbrella of WaSP. If you are interested in continuing to work on web standards-related projects along with us, we humbly suggest you follow these projects:
- A List Apart – The magazine "for people who make websites" is run by WaSP founder Jeffrey Zeldman and is a consistent source of forward-thinking articles and tutorials.
- HTML5 Doctor – A solid resource and discussion forum on all things HTML5, brought to you by Bruce Lawson and his team.
- W3C Community Groups – If you have a passion for a specific web technology, you can help make it better by participating in one (or more) community groups. In particular, you might be interested in one of these: Core Mobile Web Platform, Responsive Images, Web Education, and Web Media Text Tracks.
- WebPlatform.org – A fantastic web standards resource, providing up-to-date documentation, Q&As, tutorials & more. Chris Mills, Doug Schepers, and a number of other standards advocates are involved in this project.
- Web Standards Sherpa – An educational resource founded by WaSP which continues to operate under the leadership of Chris Casciano, Virginia DeBolt, Aaron Gustafson, and Emily Lewis.
- Web Standards + Small Business – An outreach project started by WaSP that educates small businesses about why they should care about web standards. This project is overseen by Aaron Gustafson.
The job's not over, but instead of being the work of a small activist group, it's a job for tens of thousands of developers who care about ensuring that the web remains a free, open, interoperable, and accessible competitor to native apps and closed eco-systems. It's your job now, and we look forward to working with you, and wish you much success.
Nota bene: In the near future, we will be making a permanent, static archive of webstandards.org and some of our other resources like WaSP Interact to preserve them as a resource and to provide a record of our 15-year mission to improve the web.

En Bloc Capsulectomy Breast Implant Removal
En bloc capsulectomy has emerged as a preferred technique for removing breast implants and the surrounding scar tissue capsule when confronted with certain breast implant-related health concerns or implant complications. As a highly trained, board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience performing a wide range of cosmetic breast surgeries, Dr. Christine Petti is pleased to be able to offer her patients this technically advanced surgical option. Dr. Petti is widely known for her capabilities as a world-class breast surgeon and she frequently combines en bloc capsulectomy with breast implant replacement and/or breast lift surgery to create natural-looking breast shape and volume following implant removal.
Learn more about en bloc capsulectomy by exploring the informative sections provided below or contacting our practice:

- En Bloc Capsulectomy Candidates
- BIA-ALCL & En Bloc Capsulectomy
- What is BIA-SCC?
- The En Bloc Capsulectomy Procedure
- Recovery After En Bloc Capsulectomy
- En Bloc Capsulectomy Results
What is En Bloc Capsulectomy?
En bloc capsulectomy is a breast implant and scar tissue capsule removal technique that involves the complete excision of the intact capsule with the breast implant still inside—all in one piece. This surgical procedure theoretically offers several benefits to patients who prefer to take a more cautious and complete approach to removing their breast implants. Most often, en bloc capsulectomy is recommended instead of a total capsulectomy or a traditional explant procedure for patients who are concerned about or are experiencing health consequences from their breast implants. En bloc capsulectomy helps to ensure the complete removal of scar tissue, while also preventing any fluid, ruptured silicone, or other pathogens from leaking outside of the capsule and into the body during surgery.
Who Is a Candidate for En Bloc Capsulectomy?
Dr. Petti understands the sensitive nature of breast implant-related problems and health concerns and always brings a deep level of compassionate understanding and professionalism when it comes to discussing these issues with patients. There are many unique circumstances under which you may be interested in or Dr. Petti may recommend en bloc capsulectomy; however, before determining that en bloc capsulectomy is indeed the right approach, Dr. Petti will perform a comprehensive evaluation to assess your current health status, the condition of your breast implants, and your medical history, in addition to a thorough discussion of your personal goals and concerns. Patients who tend to be suitable candidates for the en bloc capsulectomy procedure include those who:
- Want to remove old, leaking, and/or ruptured silicone gel implants.
- Are experiencing detrimental health effects as the result of their breast implants —i.e. symptoms of BII (breast implant-related illness) or BIA-ALCL (breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma).
- Want to remove textured-surface silicone breast implants and completely eliminate the surrounding scar tissue in an effort to prevent developing BIA-ALCL in the future.
While the en bloc procedure is not right for every patient who falls into these categories, you can rely on Dr. Petti's diagnostic skill and decades of experience to determine the most suitable way to proceed with treatment.
BIA-ALCL & En Bloc Capsulectomy
In July, 2019 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration officially announced 573 confirmed cases of BIA-ALCL worldwide, and while this number can seem alarming for patients with breast implants, it is important to keep in mind that the likelihood of developing BIA-ALCL is extremely rare and primarily attributed to textured-surface breast implants. When examining the available information on BIA-ALCL, which is surprisingly limited, it is believed that the interaction between the scar tissue capsule and the textured surface of a breast implant is a contributing factor to developing BIA-ALCL. For this reason, many doctors and plastic surgeons theorize that completely removing the breast implant and surrounding scar tissue with the en bloc capsulectomy procedure may be the best way to prevent and/or eliminate BIA-ALCL. In cases where BIA-ALCL is diagnosed in the advanced stages, patients should be advised to seek treatment guidance from an oncologist. In order to accurately diagnose BIA-ALCL, Dr. Petti may recommend that patients who are experiencing symptoms of the condition undergo an MRI and/or fluid aspiration testing. As one of the foremost breast surgeons in the area, Dr. Petti is trusted by her patients to recommend the best diagnostic protocol and treatment recommendations to meet their medical needs and concerns about BIA-ALCL.
Guidance on BIA-SCC
BIA-SCC, often simply referred to as "SCC," is a very rare squamous cell cancer that has appeared to originate in the breast implant capsules of certain breast implants. The acronym stands for "Breast Implant-Associated Squamous Cell Carcinoma," a condition currently being evaluated by the FDA in collaboration with the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and The Plastic Surgery Foundation (PSF). As of May 2023, the FDA has only found 19 cases of SCC in breast implant capsules — which refers to the shell of scar tissue surrounding an implant — making it impossible to determine risk factors for SCC.
Dr. Petti is committed to ensuring all women considering breast augmentation are aware of the potential safety risks associated with their procedure, and acts as an advocate for patients before, during, and after surgery. She is passionate about providing safe and effective breast augmentation procedures and always discusses both BIA-ALCL and BIA-SCC with patients during their consultation. At the time of your appointment, Dr. Petti invites you to ask questions and raise any concerns you may have about either condition. If you have breast implants, she also encourages you to remain vigilant to potentially concerning symptoms, such as pain in the breasts, swelling, and hard scar tissue formation.
What Happens During En Bloc Breast Implant Removal?
En bloc explant surgery is performed under general anesthesia and considered to be a technically demanding procedure that is best performed by an experienced plastic surgeon like Dr. Petti. Surgery begins with an incision made along the inframammary fold, which is the crease on the underside of the breast. Through this incision, the scar tissue capsule containing the breast implant is carefully dissected from the breast. Once the scar tissue has been removed in one piece, it is extracted from the breast through the inframammary incision and the breast pocket is sterilized. If you have decided to replace your old breast implants with new ones, or plan to undergo a breast lift to create a natural-looking breast shape once the implants have been removed, this portion of your surgical plan can be completed once the breast pocket has been cleansed.
What Is Recovery Like After En Bloc Capsulectomy?
You should expect some degree of soreness and swelling following your en bloc explant procedure. Recovery after en bloc capsulectomy typically requires about a week of rest, unless you have undergone a simultaneous breast lift or breast implant exchange which could extend your recovery period. Dr. Petti recommends avoiding heavy lifting and vigorous exercise until you have been cleared at a follow-up appointment. Most patients are able to resume their usual activities starting at 3 weeks, though this estimate can fluctuate based on personal progress milestones. During surgery, Dr. Petti is careful to keep incisions as hidden as possible to minimize the potential for visible scarring. While your incisions may appear reddish and raised in the initial phase of healing, after about a year with proper care scar tissue should flatten and fade considerably.
What Are En Bloc Capsulectomy Results Like?
As with any cosmetic breast procedure, Dr. Petti strives to create en bloc capsulectomy results that look natural and symmetrical. She uses her signature breast augmentation techniques to create optimal placement and support for new implants to deliver long-lasting results. If a breast lift is desired, Dr. Petti can reshape the breasts using a variety of techniques to restore an attractive breast shape following breast implant removal. The vast majority of Dr. Petti's en bloc capsulectomy and secondary breast surgery patients are thrilled with the outcomes they achieve. Dr. Petti is known for her ability to deliver outstanding results even for the most complex breast surgery cases.
Do you want to remove your breast implants due to concerns about your health? Contact our plastic surgery practice to schedule your consultation with Dr. Petti to discuss the explant procedures that are available, including en bloc capsulectomy.

Relaunched in summer 2014, Harvard Design Magazine probes beyond the established design disciplines to enrich and diversify current discourse. Scholarly, poetic, and visually lush, each issue triggers new interpretations of design's defining role in today's culture. Distinguished and unexpected voices from the fields of architecture, landscape architecture, and urban planning meet those from the realms of art, science, literature, and beyond. A space for dialogue, speculation, and surprise: Harvard Design Magazine opens a door onto the applied device of design, and the people, places, and politics it engages.
Harvard Design Magazine #43
The more stuff we accumulate, the more space we need to store it all. Vast portions of the landscape are claimed and governed by spaces of storage, their maintenance, and the goods that move through them—or remain buried within them indefinitely. This issue of Harvard Design Magazine investigates and unpacks the contents, containers, and systems of storage that organize our world. Storage is the aggregation and containment of the material and immaterial stuff of culture; but also the safeguarding—or hoarding—of energy and tools for some imagined future purpose. How does all this stuff mask or overcompensate for economic and ecological bankruptcy? Is storage about greed or need? Storage, perhaps, is everything we can live without but insist on living with. "Shelf Life" explores what's inside the box (shed, tank, urn, vault, crypt, crate, case, pot, bag, vat, morgue, safe, bin, archive, warehouse, cabinet, cellar, cemetery, depository, locker, freezer, landfill, library). Even as we attempt to reduce and recycle, the stuff that we dispose of also needs to be stored. Where do we put it? Our planet is now a saturated receptacle. This warehouse is full, and we're all inside it.

After having many issues with TD Canada Trust, now came Caisse Desjardins. I had to update my investment profile with them just because of one mutual fund investment I have with them.
I was really frustrated when I received the letter they send me for that purpose because they told me that if I was not going to update my investor profile, my banking account other asset will be all frozen… No way am I going to invest ever with Desjardins. And this is even worst than what I had last time with TD Canada Trust. Like if I didn't go through enough yet. Anyway, I place the call, update the stupid profile with them over the phone and promised myself there I would ever again purchase a mutual fund outside a broker account again. It is way too complicated and annoying. And I don't know if they even realize it, but they are loosing me as an investor and a customer.
When I call to update my profile, I was on my two mornings off and I expect to had nothing to do, but like usual, my plans get disturb and I had to call about 3 times to get this done by an arrogant advisor who was really mean over the phone. Desjardins really suck, just like TD and I am just hoping to find a way out of hell once of these days.

March 24, 2009 at 8:16 PM
An interesting question came my way a couple days ago. One of my faithful asked me, "so, what IS the deal with dots over notes? I have a couple editions of Bach that have many staccato indications over notes, yet in recordings I don't hear any evidence of them."
This is a good question, really, and there is no simple answer.
You see, articulation marks were virtually unseen in musical manuscripts before the mid-18th century. Even in the 19th they were a something of a rarity in the manuscripts of many composers.
It's not that performers didn't play staccato, the technique was well known, it was just that it was left up to the discretion of the performer when and where to do so.
However, as amateurism began to flourish in the 18th and 19th centuries, folks wanted to have more direction in manners of interpretation. And publishers of music were only too happy to oblige; hence editions.
Problem was, they didn't always agree with one another as to what such things as a 'dot' over a note meant. Nor did many composers as they began adding them to their manuscripts.
Today we generally say that a dot over a note shortens the duration of sound by half it's specified value – the remaining value taken up with silence.
And for much common practice of the 18th-20th century this works as a decent rule of thumb. But certainly not always.
In the music of Brahms, the master used dots over notes to indicate emphasis, rather than staccato. I myself was not aware of this until I brought the Brahms D Minor Sonata to play for Milstein in my early 20s. In the second theme of the first movement there is a great example of Brahms using the dot this way.
But getting back to Bach, and baroque music in general. Here I would take anything you see in most editions – urtext editions less so – with a grain of salt.
When I asked Milstein about some of his slurrings in Bach that didn't match Bach manuscripts he said, 'well, I think I'm a better violinist than Bach, and besides, Bach was an improviser. He would not have done the same things every time.'
End of discussion.
This reminds me of an interview I saw on DVD last night with famed film director, Howard Hawk. He said that he would play with scenes until they just '"work for me."' So there wasn't any set formula for his creative process, other than being true to some deeply felt, non-quantifiable aesthetic sense within himself.
This must be true of music making.
For a while 'period practice' specialists used to criticize Fritz Kreisler for his interpretations of early music. Yet today you hear period performances that are all over the map. There is, and never was the kind of a set formula for the performance of music.
If there was, it would be a dead, wooden thing for sure.
And it's not that I think everyone should turn a blind eye to musical scholarship. In fact for some this kind of exercise stimulates and enriches creativity. It's just that one must not mistake 'knowledge' for 'meaning', if you know what I mean.
So the bottom line is this. If your Bach E Major Preludio wants to come off the string now and then, let it. If not, enjoy playing 'a la corda' from top to bottom.
All the best,
Clayton Haslop
We often read some music critic writes, "so-and-so's interpretation of that music is not authentic." My attitude is: I want to hear what I like to hear and don't care whether it is authentic or not authentic.

5 Minutes with Shaniqua Garvin on Short Natural Hair
This look is all about embracing your hair.
There are countless ways to alter your natural hair type. From going straight via relaxers to changing up your hair color from the latest trend to trying out braids, there are are tons of switch up your look. But, after awhile these constant modifications can be exhausting, especially if you have natural hair. Many women are foregoing these beauty regimens and opting for a more natural way to wear their hair as evidenced in the short natural hair movement that we've been seeing. Not only does this allow you to simplify your life, you can also embrace your given hair type and texture with an easier styling routine. To learn more about embracing natural short hair, we chatted with blogger Shaniqua Garvin of Brown Media Mom who recently stopped dyeing her hair while also opting for a shorter hairstyle. Read on to learn more about how this new look has changed her hair care regimen.
On Short Natural Hair: Shaniqua Garvin of Brown Media Mama
All Things Hair: What is your favorite way to wear your hair?
Shaniqua Garvin: I wear a basic wash and go fro style at the moment. Because I recently gave myself a short hair cut. It's quick and easy.
All Things Hair: How has your hair care regimen changed over the years?
Shaniqua Garvin: I have found ways to simplify my hair regimen. I wanted to cut time on washing and styling. I used to do 3-4 things to my hair from stripping to wash to detangling to twisting into a style about two times a week. I transitioned to having a beautician do my hair and even coloring it, which lead to having unwanted products being put in my hair. Now, I have decided to start fresh by cutting off all my hair into a very low style. I focus on moisturizing it and I use a product that will maintain my fro style all week.
All Things Hair: What are your go-to products for your short natural hair?
Shaniqua Garvin: Water is my number one and I lightly spray my hair with it everyday. I use a lot of conditioner, often overnight. I put conditioner in when I shower after the gym and leave it in. On the next day when I take a shower after the gym, I wash the conditioner out. Then, I apply a styling product as it is drying along with styling gels. That's it!
All Things Hair: Would you ever try color on your hair? Which one and why?
Shaniqua Garvin: I have decided to stop coloring my hair. I was born salt and pepper and I spent many years coloring my hair. Now that I am 36, I want people to know that this is my hair color and not my suddenly going gray.
All Things Hair: What's the hardest and easiest thing about embracing short natural hair?
Shaniqua Garvin: The hardest is sometimes I don't feel as feminine with my shorter hair because of my facial features. The easiest is the quick maintenance time. It is so much easier to maintain!

Welcome to Amnesty Canada's IOTP network. Through campaigns, lobbying, outreach and events, we raise awareness and inspire action to protect human rights. Join Us.
Stay Connected, Get Involved
In Israel and the Occupied Territories (OPT), Amnesty has witnessed:
Israeli forces unlawfully kill Palestinian civilians, including children, and detain thousands of Palestinians from the OPT who oppose Israel's continuing military occupation, holding hundreds in administrative detention.
Torture and other ill-treatment of detainees remain rife and are committed with impunity.
The authorities continue to promote illegal settlements in the West Bank, including by attempting to retroactively "legalize" settlements built on private Palestinian land, and severely restrict Palestinians' freedom of movement, closing some areas after attacks by Palestinians on Israelis.
Israeli forces continue to blockade the Gaza Strip, subjecting its population of 1.9 million to collective punishment, and to demolish homes of Palestinians in the West Bank and of Bedouin villagers in Israel's Negev/Naqab region, forcibly evicting residents.
The authorities imprison conscientious objectors to military service and detain and deported thousands of asylum-seekers from Africa.
In the State of Palestine, Amnesty has witnessed:
Palestinian authorities in the West Bank and the Hamas de facto administration in the Gaza Strip both continue to restrict freedom of expression, including by arresting and detaining critics and political opponents.They also restrict the right to peaceful assembly and use excessive force to disperse some protests.
Torture and other ill-treatment of detainees remain rife in both Gaza and the West Bank.
Unfair trials of civilians before military courts continue in Gaza; detainees are held without charge or trial in the West Bank.
Women and girls face discrimination and violence.
Courts in Gaza continue to hand down death sentences and Hamas carries out executions.
Canada: Stop supporting Israeli settlements on occupied Palestinian land.
For the last 50 years, Israel has been forcing thousands of Palestinians off their land, occupying and illegally using it to create settlements that exclusively house Jewish Israeli settlers.
We want governments to stop enabling the economy that keeps these illegal settlements growing and fuels the suffering of Palestinians: and you can help.
Call on the Canadian government to ban Israeli settlement goods from entering our markets, and to stop companies based in Canada operating in settlements or trading in their goods – and help put an end to the cycle of violations suffered by Palestinians living under Israel's occupation.

My husband and I celebrated 5 years of marriage during the same week that I was diagnosed with breast cancer. We had been with each other for nearly a decade at that point, and our lives together had in no way been smooth sailing.
We first met about a year after college, after we both moved from California to New York in pursuit of other relationships. After some time, those relationships fizzled out, and the two of us found ourselves at a party together.
We were complete strangers, despite the fact that our lives took very similar paths. We marveled at the ease in which conversation flowed between us.
I was captivated by the lively former gymnast who introduced himself and then told me that he was a custom wood furniture maker like Aidan from "Sex and the City" — a timely reference in 2008 — or Jesus.
Then, he informed me that he could do a backflip, which he proceeded to do in the middle of the apartment building hallway, followed by a back handspring and another backflip. I was instantly smitten.
After that evening, we were inseparable. Less than a year into our relationship, within the same week, we were both laid off — collateral damage from the 2008 recession. We wanted to stay in New York, though, so while he scrambled to apply to grad school, I applied to law school.
We were both accepted into programs that allowed us to continue to live together, yet life during those years wasn't easy. Both of our academic programs were incredibly challenging. Plus, they ran on opposite schedules, so we rarely saw each other except for weekends, which were already consumed with our studies.
We each experienced several close personal losses and comforted each other through the grief brought upon by each. Both of us became ill and required surgery during that time as well. We learned very quickly the important and varied roles of partner-caretakers.
After my husband graduated with his master's degree, he proposed to me, as a promise that we'd always be there for each other no matter what.
Fast-forward 5 years to 2017. We had a 2-year-old son and had just bought a house in the New York suburbs.
We had weathered 2 years of life as a family of three, living in a 700-square-foot one-bedroom apartment. Although we got through it, those years were stressful. As we settled into our new house, we began trying to have a second baby.
Days after we celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary and our son's second birthday, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Soon after, we learned that my disease was metastatic.
The first year of my diagnosis was isolating and difficult for both of us.
I spoke with my husband, Christian, about the difficulties we've faced, especially during the first year as a family dealing with metastatic breast cancer.
"We needed to find space to grieve and process separately," he said. "We struggled to lean on each other during those months because we were both so fragile.
"After the first year, once Emily experienced progression off of her first drug, we realized how scared we really were and how important it was to find a new strength in our relationship."
After I underwent a total hysterectomy, we began to explore new ways of being intimate. We reconnected in ways that were incredibly satisfying for both of us.
"This experience brought us closer than we had ever been, but I would give that closeness up in a heartbeat if it meant that Emily was no longer sick," he said.
We've also had to discuss some difficult topics, such as my end of life wishes, raising our son in the future, and how I'd like to be remembered. "I don't like to think about it, but it helps that she is willing to bring up those topics," Christian added.
"Emily has always had a wild sense of humor, and one evening, she turned to me and said, 'It's OK if you remarry, but I don't want you to buy your next wife a diamond that's bigger than mine.'
"We both had a good laugh about that, because it felt so silly, and a little petty, but also it made it easier to talk about those sorts of things."
Every marriage has its challenges, its pitfalls, and its own set of difficulties. Yet even a marriage that's navigating life with a terminal disease has room for growth, for love, and for the cultivation of a new level of friendship.
My illness is one of the biggest challenges that my husband and I are facing in our lives. But we're also finding new ways of connecting and enjoying the time we have together.
Emily passed away earlier this year in 2020. An advocate for the MBC community, we are grateful to have her words so that others may draw stength from her journey.
