Not too long ago I gave a my Review on Dual Specs. My mind has somewhat been altered by that since then after seeing my wife do it on multiple characters, but not a whole lot (mostly due to the fact that I've still only done it on the one and am not impressed).
What I want to talk about today though, is a problem I see with other people who are doing it and a question that has been asked of me: When should I dual spec? the answer to that question will follow. However, I'm going to cover all of the W's concerning dual specs: Who, What, When, Where, and Why?
This is my opinion, and I share it with you now:
Who Should(n't) Dual Spec?
Basically, anybody who wants to dual spec, and can afford to do so, should do it. There's no reason not to dual spec if you want to try it out and don't mind spending the money to do it. My wife loves being able to switch between her specs and has a blast being able to step into different roles on the same character. I enjoyed it a couple of times here and there, though in the end it just never became necessary.
The people who shouldn't dual spec are the ones who:
- 1) Don't want to
- 2) Are not willing to get gear for both specs via question, PvP, or grinding
- 3) Can't afford it themselves and are not good at making/managing their gold
Dual Specs are not a requirement to play this game. Some guilds I have seen do require it, but if you're in that type of guild then you probably already know this stuff and don't need to bother reading. If you don't want to do it, then don't bother. Save your gold and spend it on something a little more useful, like Epic/Cold Weather Flying.
If you aren't willing to get the gear for both of your specs then you should probably avoid DS. The reason I say that is because if you have the wrong gear (tank gear on your healing spec, for instance) then you're not going to perform very well. If you can't perform in your second spec, then you're never going to use it either. In cases like these you're basically just throwing away your gold for no reason.
If you can't afford something that you want, you simply shouldn't buy it. Making gold in this game is not hard. Holding onto that gold once you get it is for some people (/raise hand), but it's not hard to make it. Please don't ever make the mistake of trying to borrow gold from friends or guild members if you aren't positive that you can pay it back quickly. I've borrowed gold from a guild member one time, and I only did it because there was an item on the AH that I had been searching for for months that was about to sell and I didn't have the gold yet. I had enough auctions that I would have the gold the next day, but I wouldn't have it before the auction expired and someone else won it. I got the gold, bought my item, and repaid the loan with 10% interest 3 hours later. If you can't manage something like that, don't ask to borrow gold. (/end mini-rant)
What Should Your Dual Spec Be?
For some reason, people ask this a lot. I really don't think this is a question that needs to be asked to anyone but yourself. What should my dual spec be? Well, probably whatever I want it to be..? For this question, ask yourself what you want to do with your character. If you want to heal, and your class is able to heal, then make one of them a healing spec. If you want to tank, and are able to do so, then make one of them a tanking spec. If you want to dps, then spec for it. If you want to PvP, then spec for that.
The answer to this question is really one that only you can answer. Spec for whatever you want to do with the character. If you are doing it for your guild because you need to fill an open role, then you probably already know the answer to this question yourself. If you are doing it because you want to try a different build to see how it works, then again you probably already know the answer to the question. If you want to do it, but you don't have a specific reason driving you towards it, then that's when the question needs to be asked. But, it's a question you have to ask yourself; what am I doing right now? (tank, heal, melee/ranged dps, single/AoE dps), what would I like to try instead or perhaps in addition to?
When Should(n't) You Dual Spec?
If you are going to dual spec, then I suggest you do it as early as you can so that you can get practiced at using both of them. Whatever the specs are for, use them for that purpose. So if you have a healing spec, then use it when you are in a group like when running through instances or doing battlegrounds. If you have a PvP spec, then use it in BG's and Arenas while you level. Whatever the role of the spec is going to be, use it when in that situation. If you happen to have two specs that fill the same role, but with different talents, then trade off on a fairly regular basis so that you get practiced with them.
Generally speaking, and in my own opinion here, you should not wait to dual spec at high level unless you need to. If you do wait that long then make sure that you gather the gear you need for it before hand, and try to do some research on your spells and talent points. Waiting until higher level to try out a dual spec is a good way to find out that you suck at what you want to do. Unless you have played the class at that level before then you aren't going to know what to do or how to use the class. You might have a good idea and be able to scrape by, but if you haven't spent any time during your leveling to learn how to play the class then you aren't going to be very good at it and probably won't bother using it very often.
What I'm trying to say here is, don't put it off expecting to just step into the role at higher levels and be good at it because it's probably not going to happen. Get it early and start practicing using it so that you have at least some idea of what it is that you're going to be doing. You can't expect to be a good tank when you've never had to bother with generating threat or using your taunts. You aren't going to be a good healer if you're constantly spamming a single heal that doesn't even begin to compare to your other options even though it looks like a great spell to you.
Where Do You Dual Spec?
Any of your class trainers around the world can open up your dual spec talent tree for you. The cost is 1,000g and there is currently no way of lowering that price. Most of your trainers will be in the major cities though some of the smaller towns throughout the game have trainers as well.
Why Should(n't) You Dual Spec?
There are plenty of reasons why you should dual spec, as well as why you shouldn't dual spec. If you want to try out two different talent trees, then dual specs might be for you. If you want to be able to heal when you're in a group but also love to solo your own dailies and such, then dual specs are probably great for you. If you like to grind mobs with an AoE Frost build but love to instant cast people to death in battlegrounds, then dual specs are a good idea for you.
If you have a fairly small raiding guild that likes to mix things up now and then with which people fill which roles, then dual specs might be for you. If you have a guild that does not have members on a consistent schedule and may need to cover a role that is usually filled, then dual specs might be for you. If you just want to have fun and enjoy the game from multiple perspectives then dual specs might be for you.
You shouldn't dual spec simply because someone else wants you to or because you feel pressured by a guild, unless you were already aware that they would require it and knew ahead of time. You shouldn't dual spec because some loser thinks it's required for you to be recognized as a good player. You shouldn't dual spec simply because you have an extra thousand gold sitting around burning holes in your pouch. Instead, send that gold over to me.
If you want to dual spec because it's interesting, opens up more opportunities for enjoying the game, or because you just want to have fun with it, then by all means jump right in and do it. Just don't do it because some guy tells you that you have too or that you'll never be able to raid or get invited to a good guild if you don't.

Clarinet cases and water bottles are scattered haphazardly in the outfield grass on Chatfield High School's baseball field. More than 100 students, most wearing shorts, stand at attention, waiting for cues from the marching band's drum majors.
It's a Saturday — homecoming day — and the band members have been rehearsing since 8 a.m. They get their first substantial break at 11:15. Fifteen minutes later, they're back in formation.
"When does that crescendo happen?" band director Andy Michaud mildly barks over a megaphone. He stands 15 feet above the field on a scaffold, carefully inspecting the performance for aberrations — a flaw in the formation or an aural aspect that falls flat. "You're still de-crescendoing. … That doesn't make sense visually or musically."
The monthly five-hour practice is the last of such extended sessions until the state competition, which begins Oct. 22.
Only two days before, on Oct. 14, the band placed sixth at the 5A regional competition. Ranked ninth overall in Colorado, the group is on the cusp of making the state semifinals. Only the top eight bands will advance to the final day of competition.
And despite all of stress and hours of organized practices each week — on top of classes and other extracurricular activities — the experience isn't as daunting as it might seem.
"It's better now than it was at the start," said freshman clarinet player Natalia Cavalier. "I like the fact that we're a big family and we all support each other."
The idea of the group as a family — albeit one with 114 members — is not exclusive to the students. With the hours of dedication, often sacrificing opportunities with friends or traditional family, the faculty seems to share the sentiment.
"Academically, it creates stronger students. … The other benefit is the family it creates," Michaud said, noting that the freshmen, who start band camp as early as May, don't necessarily feel the same social awkwardness as their academic peers when the first bell rings. "The freshmen, by the time school starts, they know 150 people. … It's an extension of my family."
By coincidence, Michaud's wife, Kathy, is the band's woodwind instructor. And his daughter, Mollie, will be a freshman at the school next year. And though Michaud said Mollie could attend whatever school she wants, the same freedom isn't granted when it comes to studying music.
"She's the daughter of two music teachers, so it's not an option," he grinned.
The discipline in memorizing seven and half minutes of music and the associated visual performance paid off for Chatfield this year. They had the performance ready a month ahead of schedule, consequently giving them additional time to polish the routine. And they brought their rank at the regional competition up from 14th place last year.
"This is what all the top bands do," Michaud said. "We're not stressed about trying to get the show done. … We're happy as dogs."
The hard work transcends into academia, he emphasized, explaining that planning and impeccable self-control have benefits off of the field.
"We have more high-achieving students in this group than most groups at this school, just because of the discipline it takes," Michaud said. "They're used to getting their homework done on time. There's no time to fall backward."
This year's band has unusually high enthusiasm, he said, noting that he selected musical arrangements to showcase a dynamic emotional range.
"It kind of sucks having to come here all the time, taking away from work and everything else — having no free time. In the end, when you go to state, it's totally worth it," said senior Thomas Wombaker, a baritone player in his fourth year with the band. "I think we have a shot, but we have to put forth the effort and focus."
In addition to one Saturday practice every month, the band meets for nearly three hours, three times per week. They also rehearse the music in class, and individual sections hold their own practices once a week, too.
"I feel like I learn how to respect other people," said Hannah Ohnan, a sophomore flutist, noting that she appreciates the discipline and teamwork but looks forward to the months ahead, when she'll have more time for her friends who aren't in marching band. "I like the social aspect of it, because they're all my friends."
On Oct. 22, Chatfield will perform its routine, consisting of Verdi's "Dies Irae" and British composer John Rutter's "Lux Aeterna" and "Gloria" at the Air Force Academy. The band has been scoring well, though a few points shy of the most competitive groups. Scores could easily go in its favor at the event, however, a culmination of the team's hard work.
But simply getting to the competition could be the highlight of the trip.
"By the end of the season, you have a lot of good memories," said junior Tara Monlina, a clarinet player. "The bus rides are probably the most fun. … We always sing a song for the bus driver."

A hacker delved into the files of the Clinton Presidential Library and found ... President Bill Clinton's doodles.
The notorious hacker Guccifer, who has been linked to hacking high-level politico's emails, found the president's pen-to-paper musings, which Gawker originally published Wednesday.
The drawings are often on official documents, such as a fire-breathing dragon/dog sneaking up on what appears to be the president sketched on a memo debating UN sanctions on Yugoslavia.
The president also doodled lots of brick walls, partial motorcycles and versions of the American flag.
Presidential libraries often release their respective presidents' drawings post-White House, but the Clinton Foundation has refused to do so, even at the request of the authors of a book "Presidential Doodles."
Earlier this year, Guccifer hacked into President George W. Bush's drawings and released a portrait of the president in a shower.

funny enough i agree with your comment,it was on blogs a couple of months ago last year that we read the accounts of the departed having a relationship with a guy spoiling her with money and buying her material things however my point is this, now that the lady is dead how much is the car worth and the contents of her flat that the guy will risk fighting the family over? a nigerian used honda pilot at the most won't be more than 2.something millionDelete
if he is rich enough to buy bisi komolafe the car,then he is rich enough to forego the car and other stuffs for the family to achieve a peaceful resolution…the most wicked people who will go to any length diabolically to harm him are the old,poverty stricken ones who see 100,000naira as a life changing amount of money and are willing to kill for it if he thinks he is covered spiritually what of his 2 children and his ex wife?
dont forget he has more to lose than an extended family member who is probably passed his/her prime and the only thing they have is jazz.ask anyone close to them ayoku when the man died and some old people who are family rose up to start fighting the children they settled them with some of the less expensive properties to give peace a chance

GS: Where are you from?
GP: Stone Mountain, Georgia
GS: What degree will you receive and when?
GP: I received my B.S. in Biology from Spelman College in May 2007. I will receive a M.S. in Forensic Science in August 2010.
GS: How long have you been at UAB?
GP: I have been at UAB since August 2008.
GS: What is your research?
GP: Examining the recovery of DNA from self-adhesive stamps after exposure to four different cleaning methods. Methods include exposure to UV light as well as cleaning using isopropyl alcohol, bleach, and water. Stamps are organically extracted using phenol-chloroform, then quantitated and amplified using polymerase chain reaction. Genetic profiles recovered from the extracted DNA will be compared to those generated from the reference samples in order to determine the efficiency of each cleaning method.
GS: Why did you choose UAB for your graduate studies?
GP: There are only a select few graduate programs in Forensic Science, particularly in the south so UAB was my first choice. I am very happy I decided to come here, as the small program size and dedicated professors has been a great experience.
GS: Have you received any awards or honors?
GP: I received a membership invitation from Golden Key International Honor Society in 2009. Also, representing my graduate program in the Graduate Student Spotlight is a great honor.
GS: What has been your most rewarding experience at UAB?
GP: The opportunity to intern as a DNA Database Technician with the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences. My experience as a member of the CODIS department has given me valuable hands on experience, as well as exposure to the world of Forensic Science on a daily basis. The ability to interact with Forensic Scientists who have been in the field has allowed me to increase my network and obtain valuable information in regards to what it takes to become a great forensic biologist.
GS: Who was your greatest influence here at UAB and why?
GP: Surprisingly, my classmates have been my greatest influence. We have become a very tight knit group over the past year and a half, especially with there only being nine great ladies to interact with. I have learned a lot about myself and they have become a constant source of encouragement. Not only do we push each other academically, but are genuinely invested in the success of the program and getting to know one another. I will definitely be leaving UAB with great friends and colleagues for life.
GS: What is your motivation in your academics/research?
GP: My immediate motivation is my family, as they have always been my biggest cheerleaders. I would not have made it this far without the love and support of my wonderful parents. My program director and advisor Dr. Jason Linville is also a great source of motivation on a daily basis. He made me feel welcome the first time I came to visit UAB and has continued to go above and beyond both as a teacher and a mentor. His continuous dedication to the program and my personal success provides that extra push during the long hours and late nights in the laboratory. He reinforces my joy for learning and I look forward to attending his class. His enthusiasm keeps just about everyone in the program going.
GS: What are your plans after graduating and for the future?
GP: To obtain a position as a DNA Analyst in a Forensic Biology laboratory. My goal is to one day become the director of a Forensic laboratory.
GS: Is there anything else you would like to say?
GP: "If a task is once begun, never leave it till it's done. Be the labor great or small, do it well or not at all." Words spoken to me by my grandfather ever since I was little and they remain a source of inspiration as I continue my academic journey.
Gina's advice for other graduate students:
Simply believe in your dream and do whatever it takes to achieve it. If you didn't have moments where you felt overwhelmed or didn't question your decisions it wouldn't be graduate school.

When it comes to Shakespearean tales, the language is often hard to understand.
While eloquent and poetic, those who try and fail to appreciate these classic stories of love, humor and tragedy know they are missing out on something very good.
If only those plays could be redone in a language that could be more easily understood not only by adults but by those who are, as an example, middle school aged.
Thankfully for the Shakespeare challenged such an effort has been made to a story that has been told for generations – "Romeo and Juliet."
Rather than just providing the text for others to read, students at RVMS are going to be presenting that story on the stage this coming Saturday.
That night at 6 p.m. in the PAC, the students are set to perform "The Seussifi-cation of Romeo and Juliet," which was written by Peter Bloedel.
Those who attend are going to notice from the beginning the telltale signs of a true story in Seuss' style.
According to Amanda Mathiowetz, who is directing the RVMS production, the entire play is done in rhyme, adding the students have been working hard to get their lines memorized. The challenge has been gaining stage time, as weather issues have led to scheduling changes that have kept the students out of the stage.
The students took the stage for the first time Tuesday and have just a few days to get everything set for Saturday's show.
Mathiowetz said the students are having fun, adding the costuming is also unique – much of it is made out of colorful duct tape.
This year's cast and crew includes: Natalie Polak, Elizabeth Prouty, Jenna Grannes, Boe Bidinger, Holden Kipfer, Gage Rohne, Jordan Rasmussen, Michael Helsper, Brooklyn Koetke, Emma Gaffney, Cali Aude, Carter Menz, CJ Theis, Joey Cook, Jillian Read, Madisen Clennon, Jonah Fabrizius, Shane Liebl, Spencer Quast, Maddie Hicks, Keegan Bourke, Ciara Amundson, Payton Nelson, Kaitlin Steffl, Nicole Grave, Logan Garman-Brink, Amanda Johnson, Jaden Wells, Amber Junker, Taylor Haase, Lexi Durant, Ava Lund, Sara Heiderscheidt, Becky Vang, Hailey Rogers, Chaila Amundson, Jacob Prescott and Jazmine Rainey.
The community is encouraged to come to the RVMS performance this Saturday at 6 p.m. in the PAC.

Capt B:
I very much admire your dispatches, this one among the many: Those dispatches that are not beautifully written, are beautifully described with your videos. Thank you!
I'm intrigued by your video methods: what camera do you use, how do you secure it, what software is used to download and edit the video (including the legends and music you superimpose)?
I hope our wakes pass one of these days. I salute you, Sir !
Thanks for taking us along on another journey. I may make the transit through the canal one of these years when I take my boat south. Thanks for showing the way.

Been transitting the C&D since 1947. on Russell, Moran, Red Star and Mobil tugs and an American Export Line freighter in 1947. Only three bridges then. One a lift RR bridge. This was knocked into the Canal once. Remember when the Bushey tanker F.L. Hayes collided with a freighter, burned and sunk. Two on the Hayes were lost. Later she became Ecklof's Reliable. Closed the canal for ten days. Other collisions closed the canal fo many days at a time. My last transit was on the Mobil 1, later the Zachary Reinauer.
Thank you Cap for this and many other great video tour-trips. Helps keep my "recency" fresh.

He gave up two runs in the seventh on a one-out single to Peralta (again!), a triple to Travis Hafner that eluded JD Drew in the right field corner, and an infield grounder. Those runs cut the Boston lead from 4-0 to 4-2. Brendan Donnelly, Javier Lopez and Hideki Okajima finished it off. (box)
Kevin Youkilis doubled in Julio Lugo in the first inning (21 game hitting streak), then hit a solo home run to begin the home sixth (9th consecutive multi-hit game). Jason Varitek also homered.
In Toronto, the Yankees lost 3-2, as the Blue Jays got one of their runs on a straight steal of home by Aaron Hill (only the second occurrence in Blue Jays history). Toronto scored in the first inning and the game stayed 1-0 until the seventh. The Yankees tied it in the top half, but Toronto went ahead 2-1 in the bottom of the inning. New York tied it again at 2-2 in the top of the eighth, but the Jays scored in the bottom of the eighth to retake the lead. The Yankees went down 1-2-3 in the 9th. ... New York is now 14.5 GB.

Game Recap: Grand Rapids Griffins at Amerks, 10.19.2012
"It's a white flag, it's a stop sign. It's a long night of beating up the past." (Eric Church, Over When It's Over)
(Editor's note: Oh goodnesss gracious, this Gangnam Style fad needs to die faster than Perot's celebrity in the late 90s)
The Amerks welcomed the Grand Rapids Griffins to the BCA on Friday night, and kicked off the game exactly where they left off after their Tuesday-night bout against the Binghamton Senators – with some really crappy hockey. The Halloween-edition "Know Your Amerks" videos were swell, however, as is watching the Moose dance Gangnam Style. To the recap!
To say that the Amerks showed up for their Tuesday night game is a stretch. The B-Sens walked all over them, and easily won the match 3-1. The Amerks didn't look much better in their first period against the Grand Rapids Griffins on Friday night, with the Griffs easily going through and around the defense. Grand Rapids netted the first goal of the game, and the only goal of the first period, at 5:48. When I tell you guys that Tomas Jurco had no problem getting past the blue-liners, he walked in on net all alone, and David Leggio barely stood a chance. The Amerks went into the first intermission down a goal and down in SOG.
The second period didn't look much more promising, as Landon Ferraro netted GR's second goal of the game at 3:08. Then, the Amerks finally decided that they'd had enough of that. A minute and thirteen seconds later, Brian Flynn cut the lead in half, off of a sweet pass from Captain Kevin Porter. Late in the second, GR's Riley Sheahan took the Griffins' first penalty of the game (to Rochester's four, at this point), giving Rochester their second goal. TJ Brennan scored his first of the season, with Brayden McNabb and Evan Rankin picking up the helpers on the power play goal. The Amerks and Griffins would head into the second intermission tied at two apiece. Then things got fun.
Nearly seven minutes into the third, former Amerk Tristan Grant (from the Florida years) took a run at Nick Tarnasky, sending Tarnasky head over heels deep in the Amerks zone. Tarnasky took exception to this, and the two decided to tangle. I know a lot of things, and one of these things is that you shouldn't go up against Nick Tarnasky. If you ARE going to go up against Tarnasty (as I like to call him), you shouldn't go low. He got a few solid hits in on Grant, and it was all over. Both would go for fighting, with Grant getting two extra for clipping. Phil Varone was on top of things, banking Rochester's third goal of the night (and second power play goal), giving Rochester the lead, with assists to Luke Adam (here is my impressed face) and Mark Pysyk. The Amerks weren't done yet, however, putting one more past goaltender Jordan Pearce, again on the power play. Marcus Foligno put up his third goal of the season (and third goal in four games), with a little help from Cody Hodgson and TJ Brennan. With 2:04 left in the third, Tristan Grant would pot Grand Rapids' third and final goal of the night – as Captain Porter was sitting on Leggio – and the Amerks would skate off with the win.
Although the game looked better than Tuesday night's by far, it still wasn't the Amerks best effort, and I can only hope that things will get better, cleaner, and tighter as the season progresses. The power play looked a thousand times better, however, with the team taking far more shots and opening up better shooting and passing lanes. Following the game, Coach Ron Rolston gave a lot of credit to Nick Tarnasky for shifting the momentum of the game, following the dirty hit that precipitated hit bout with Grant at center ice.
Game notes: Brian Flynn's goal during this game marks his first as a professional hockey player … Rookie Frederick Roy, son of goaltender Patrick, got a nod to dress for tonight's game, his first of the season. Alex Biega also got his first start of the season, as fellow d-man Drew Schiestel sat for the evening. Only Nick Crawford and Jonathan Parker have not yet dressed for a game with this Rochester club … The Amerks were 3-2-1-0 against GRG last season, including a 7-2 pummeling on October 16, 2011, in which Phil Varone got his first professional assist. It's clear Varone likes to put up against Grand Rapids, picking up a goal, three shots, and two penalties (for four minutes) during this match … The Amerks went 3-for-5 on the power play, with the Griffins going 0-for-4 … David Leggio unsurprisingly got the start for Rochester. He played all but four seconds of this game, and leads the AHL in minutes played (242:07), shots against (138), and saves (125). However, his GAA (3.22) and save percentage (0.906%) still leave something to be desired. I love Leggio, and I think he's a great goaltender, but I remain curious as to how Connor Knapp, who earned backup honors, will fare between the pipes … The three stars of the night were all from Rochester – 1) Kevin Porter (0+1), 2) TJ Brennan (1+1, with seven SOG), and 3) Brian Flynn (1+0).
The Amerks shipped off to face the Hershey Bears on Saturday, in a battle of the two oldest teams in the AHL. This marked the 445th all-time meeting between these two teams. The Amerks, who pulled out the miraculous comeback to beat the Bears 8-7 on Saturday (boy, I wish I'd been at that game!), are now 186-205-54 in their lifetime against the Bears, who are the affiliate of the Washington Capitals. David Leggio, who got the start against Hershey, was 1-1-0 against the Bears last season, including a 5-2 win on February 22. That game was the first of 23 consecutive starts for Leggio, and was also the game that moved Rochester into playoff contention. On Tuesday, the Amerks will head to First Niagara Center in Buffalo to take on long-time rivals the Hamilton Bulldogs. As always, I will be there. See you at the game!!

What a week … or soAugust 26, 2008 at 7:58 pm | Posted in Me, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) | Leave a comment
Tags: arthritis, car, operation, RA, rheumatoid, Rheumatoid arthritis, weather
Things have been jut a tad hectic lately. My mum went in for a planned operation at the beginning of the month. We agreed that I'd stay with her for a night or two when she came out of hospital, and then she should be OK… so she was told.
Well while she was still in hospital I went to visit her and the car broke down … in the car park but not, of course, in a space … I was reversing into a space and it died, completely, no engine, nothing. Well at least mum got a nice long visit while I waited for the RAC! They couldn't start the car so towed it to our garage, which unfortunately is quite a way from our house, so had to get hubby to pick me up.
Our favourite mechanic fixed it … by tapping a part of it with a spanner! He did warn us that it might go again though … and of course it did. Mum was out of hospital by then, and she lives near where I work so while i was carless for a week (since more than spanner tapping was obviously required!) I was walking from her place in to work, walking back to hers at lunchtime, getting her lunch, then going back in the afternoon, walking back, getting her dinner, doing bits of housework etc. and then falling into bed. Poor hubby had to fend for himself … and fend for the cats too!
I felt completely run ragged and my knee wasn't too happy about it either!!! Things are getting back to normal now -mum's very much on the mend, thank goodness, and although I'm still going round (but now with a car!) to do dinners, I'm back home at night (thank goodness!) and she can manage her own lunches. In fact today she walked in to town, her first proper trip out of the house since the op. I'm really pleased for her, as it's a big psychological step up. She's being careful not to overdo it though, which is good.
Needless to say really, my arthritis decided to play up something awful over the whole period I was staying at mum's! It's now much better. I suppose it's stress related, although weather may also play a part, as that's been very up and down, and for much of the time I was away from home it was VERY humid.

The hidden costs of even mild R.A.January 15, 2010 at 11:11 am | Posted in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) | 6 Comments
Tags: arthritis, consultant, costs, doctor, finances, hidden costs of R.A., NHS, nurse, occupational therapist, physio, R.A., RA, rhematoid arthritis, Rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
I'm part of the Norfolk Arthritis Register (NOAR) study, which is an epidemiological study around rheumatoid arthritis. They look into all sorts of things, physical, mental and social, that affect R.A. patients, from an epidemiological standpoint – i.e. they look at lots of us and then see what the statistics say. In spite of the old 'lies, damn lies and statistics' quote, they produce some very interesting results.
One of the bits of research they did, before I was involved, was around the hidden costs of R.A. and it's something I've been thinking about a lot lately. Even mild R.A. leads to an extraordinary amount of hidden costs, even in this country with our 'free healthcare'. I'm trying to compile a list of those hidden costs for someone like me with mild R.A. – I'd be interested in any additions people might think of, so please comment if any come to mind! Later on, when I have the list as complete as I can make it, I'm going to try and price it. I think that might be quite frightening.
Here's what I've got so far:
- Over the counter medications such as paracetamol, stomach settlers etc. not prescribed by the doc
- Time off work due to sickness
- Time of work to attend hospital appointments (consultant, nurse, physio, OT etc.)
- Travel costs to attend hospital, since I live in a rural area and hospitals are 30 miles for consultant/nurse and ten miles or so for OT/physio.
- Aids such as jar openers, tin openers etc. (Some of these are free through OT services, some aren't.) I have compression gloves from OT for instance, but they're starting to get a bit baggy/stretchy after less than a week, so I might invest in some good quality ones!
- An occasional one only, but cost of trips etc. cancelled due to a flare!
I'm sure there are more – will add them as I think of them or as people comment with suggestions! Some, like cost of transport because one can't drive, I haven't included because they haven't actually happened to me so far!

Before I had a car, I used to spend much more than I wanted to on cabs because it hurt my hands too much to lug my groceries home or to hold on to them while I waited for a bus.
I still sometimes spend more than I would like to on parking when I decide to drive to places that really are walking distance, as I'm too sore and tired.

Thanks for really breaking down the costs you have associated with rheumatoid arthritis. That really helps me to see how the disease can effect a person financially as well as physically. I didn't realize that most of your mobility aids had to be bought instead of given to you through occupational therapy.

LONGMONT -- If you've noticed an abundance of spectacular sunsets along the Front Range lately, you're not alone. It's hard to miss an evening sky broadly painted with orange and red, and there have been more of those evenings than usual in recent weeks.
One of the people who's been enjoying these natural light shows is Jeff Weber. As a scientist at the Boulder-based National Center for Atmospheric Research, he has the advantage of understanding exactly what conditions in the sky produce these explosions of color.
"There are a couple of things that have been working in our favor in the past few weeks," he said.
One of those things is that seasonal monsoon moisture is producing clouds that serve as canvases for the color. Light from the sun when it's low in the sky is scattered -- a scientific term -- in the atmosphere such that reds and oranges are brought out. A low sun under a cloud deck will often equal brilliant sunsets.
But large airborne particles from wildfires in the western United States have heightened the effect of scattering on the Front Range, and it's the combination of smoke and monsoon moisture that's creating the remarkable views, Weber said.
Having mountains just to the west helps, because they help spur cloud formation, he added.
The type of atmospheric conditions that produce these shows typically arise around July and August.

The little girl has learned to read…yehhhhhhhh. So next time I am hibernating, I shall ask her to blog hop.
She has been reading small words and such for a while now but now she is onto books and she can read one on her own now. Ok, now don't get me wrong, by "a book" I strictly mean simple books meant to be read by 4 year olds and not the Wodehouse out of my shelf.
I never gave her reading achievement much attention because I was sure that kids in India probably read and write critical appreciation by 4, until the other day at the library this Indian lady comes up to me and says
"She reads? How old is she?"
"Four", I said "but she reads the easy ones like Dr.Seuss and Level 1 readers and store signs and…"
She goes on, "My daughter is 4 too and she is not reading yet. My husband says I have to get her to read soon. How do I do that?"
Huh your husband says that, why can't he spend some time reading with the little one then, strange people.
Now, I have never really pushed S to read just for reaching a milestone, what I actually wanted her to have is a love for reading rather than just reading. Kids learn to read by a certain age anyhow, maybe a few months early or late, but eventually they do. Many of them do not develop a love towards reading though, and then again many who do slowly loose it when other things in life demand more time.
For me books have been great friends always, though it's mostly fiction that I am attracted to. A perfectly bad day could have a happy ending for me, if I had a good book to go back to.
Lately however with life taking over, I rarely got time to read for pleasure. There aren't many people around with whom I could discuss books either, because there was no one who spent time reading fiction. On my trips to the library I am not sure what to pick up, I want to read more fiction from other countries and culture and I do not know what other recent international authors I could read.
I am reading "The House of Sand and Fog" right now and I am loving it. What are some of your favorite books that could go on my reading list? Pray Share.
The Uchche Posto Jhuri is a simple bitter gourd recipe that I picked out from this almost famous Bengali Magazine Sananda. Sananda is to Bengal what Femina is to India. Within the slim covers of this mag you can get a good dose of advise on how to handle your MIL on your honeymoon, the best gift to give your boss on vacation, what-to-tell your maid when she wants go on a vacation and hundreds of tips on keeping your underarms sweat free and hair glistening. Armed with such knowledge, do you need anything more to confront life?
Other than this there are some good recipes and a whiff of Bengal in this far off land. Thanks to my lovely friends who gifted me a subscription of this mag on my last birthday, I am totally updated on glitzy happenings around Kolkata, even if my Ma has no clue about them.
Uchche or BitterGourd is a favorite among Bengalis and as I had mentioned earlier they like to eat it bitter, they will do absolutely nothing to mask the bitterness, even if you grovel and beg. This dish has a smattering of posto (poppy seed paste) and that makes it pretty good, though bitter it still is.
This goes to ever enthu Pooja at My Creative Ideas for her Vegetable of the Week -- Bitter Gourd
Read more...
What You Need
The original recipe used about 10 uchche (the smaller variety that I don't see here) and 3 tbsp of poppy seed paste. I took liberty and did this
Bitter Gourd ~ 1 medium sized
Poppy Seed ~ 1 tbsp heaped. Dry grind this in a coffee grinder or a spice grinder
For Tempering
Mustard seeds ~ ½ tsp loosely packed
Dry Red Chillies ~ 2-3
How I Did It
Chop the bitter gourd in small pieces
Dry grind the poppy seeds. If you want to wet grind, do so but do not make the paste watery
Heat Oil in a Kadhai/Frying Pan
Temper with mustard seeds and Dry Red Chilli
When the spices crackle add the bitter gourd pieces, add salt and cover & sauté over medium flame.
Add a sprinkle of turmeric powder for the color.
When the bitter gourd appears cooked, add the ground poppy seeds. If you are using the dry powder, sprinkle a little water. If you have made a wet paste you are fine
Stir till done. The end result should be dry with the poppy seed paste dry coating the bitter gourd.
Trivia: Bitter gourd is revered in ayurveda as a cleansing and purifying vegetable. It helps purify blood tissue, enhances digestion, and stimulates the liver.

Playing their first game since the Atlantic Coast Conference leader in assists and steals sustained a season-ending knee injury, the Blue Devils pulled away in the second half to beat No. 19 Florida State 61-50 Friday night.Elizabeth Williams had 20 points and 13 rebounds, and Duke used a 26-4 run to take control.
``It was a nice battle for our team,'' McCallie said. ``We certainly can play a lot better. But I loved our grit and I loved our fight.''
Chloe Wells added 15 points off the bench for Duke (25-1, 15-0). The Blue Devils won their 37th consecutive home game against ACC competition.
``When Chelsea went down, that was a big blow for us,'' Wells said. ``We were pressing in the beginning, and I knew that. So I just tried to come in and settle down and just play our game.''
Gray was hurt at Wake Forest on Sunday. The Blue Devils had 22 turnovers and shot just 34 percent without her.
Gray's absence, along with several missed layups, contributed to a slow start for the Blue Devils.
Haley Peters finished 2 of 11 from the floor, but grabbed a career-high 14 rebounds.
``Haley is a pretty special cat. I don't know too many people who would get 14 rebounds when offensively her game wasn't where she wanted it to be. That is one mean lady,'' McCallie said.
Duke trailed 24-20 early in the second half but took charge with its big run over the next 9 minutes.
Wells hit a jumper from the foul line to give the Blue Devils a 28-26 lead with 15:36 remaining, and they never trailed again.
Wells added a pair of 3-pointers, the second of which gave her team a 43-28 cushion.
Alexa Deluzio scored 16 points to lead Florida State (20-6, 10-5), which lost for the sixth straight time to Duke. Natasha Howard added 15 points and 11 rebounds for the Seminoles.
Florida State, which had not scored fewer than 62 points in a game all season, shot a season-low 29 percent from the floor. The Seminoles also committed 21 turnovers, giving the ball away on five consecutive possessions during Duke's decisive spurt.
``Duke is known for their defensive pressure, and it's tough to go against,'' Deluzio said. ``But I thought we handled it fine. We didn't make plays down the stretch in the last two minutes when we needed to.''
The Blue Devils stretched their lead to as many as 20 points, going ahead 52-32 on a layup by Williams with 6:40 remaining.
The Seminoles responded with an 11-0 run to cut the margin to 52-43 with 3:30 to play, and they moved within 55-48 with 1:28 remaining. Tricia Liston, however, made a pair of free throws with 1:12 left to restore Duke's lead to 10 points.
Duke led 20-18 at halftime following a defensive struggle between two of the best offensive teams in the country.
The Seminoles and Blue Devils both entered in the nation's top 10 in scoring and field goal percentage, but they combined for 26 percent shooting and 25 turnovers in the first half.
``We were feeling each other out,'' Florida State coach Sue Semrau said. ``It was extremely physical. I don't know. It just happens sometimes. It doesn't make for a very pretty game when both teams are missing, but certainly it was an exciting game.''

It was during a summer practice that the idea of playing college basketball first took root for Purdy's Katie Hughes.
It was during a summer practice that the idea of playing college basketball first took root for Purdy's Katie Hughes.
"After one of our summer sessions, Coach (Eli) Ernst told me more than one player on this team would play college basketball," said Hughes.
On April 10, Ernst's summer assessment came to fruition when Hughes signed the dotted line to play basketball for Crowder College.
The 6'1 senior has a very high ceiling. With only two years of organized prep basketball experience under her belt, Hughes grew by leaps and bounds her senior year.
Hughes is a versatile player with the ability to post in the low block or step out and knock down 15-foot jump shots.
She has a soft touch around the rim and often got the shooter's roll.
Hughes was equally impressive on the defensive end with active hands. Opposing shooters frequently had to alter shots in order to prevent them from being blocked.
As a junior, Hughes averaged 5.1 points, 4 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game. During her senior campaign Hughes averaged 9.8 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per contest.
However, the season statistics don't tell the whole story.
The Lady Eagles team was dealt a major setback mid-season when scoring leader Mattie White suffered a season ending injury.
Hughes stepped up her game and became the black and yellow's on-the-floor leader.
The Purdy post player averaged 13.2 points per game over the last eight games of the year, including a three-game stretch where she poured in 18, 17 and 24 points each night.
"Katie is such a hard worker on and off the court," said Ernst. "She takes winning and losing very seriously. Late in the year she developed into the 'go to' player."
Hughes stated that basketball is her one true passion.
"There is nothing about the game I don't like," said Hughes. "I love the competiveness and hope to be an impact player at Crowder."
The Lady Roughriders, led by six-year head coach Tina Robbins, finished the 2013 campaign 29-6 and made an appearance in the NJCAA Division 1 Championship Tournament in Salina, Kan.
"We teach a very simple philosophy at Crowder," said Robbins. "We want our players to have a strong work ethic in the classroom and on the court. We want them to develop as players and good citizens."
Robbins is no stranger to basketball success.
She played her college at Missouri State University (then Southwest Missouri State University) from 1991 to 1994 and helped lead the Lady Bears to an NCAA Final Four appearance.
"I was able to watch Katie a couple of times this year," said Robbins. "I was impressed with her touch around the rim and rebounding ability."
Hughes plans to major in criminal justice.
She is the daughter of Leah Williams and Billy Hughes.
"In order to be successful at basketball, you have to set goals and never forget what you want," said Hughes.
"Every day you have to work to get better. You have to play loose and not let nerves affect you."

Neisen Qualifies for U.S. Publinks
Nebraska's Steffi Neisen qualified for the 2013 U.S. Women's Amateur Public Links Championship on Wednesday, May 29.
Neisen, a senior-to-be for the Huskers in 2013-14, shot a five-over-par 77 in sectional qualifying at Willow Lakes Golf Course in Bellevue, Neb. Neisen's score topped the field by five strokes. She will compete at the national championship at the Jimmie Austin OU Golf Club in Norman, Okla., June 17-22.
In 2012, Neisen finished second in stroke play at the U.S. Publinks Championship with a two-round total of 138 (70-68). Her performance in stroke play in Neshanic Station, N.J., allowed her to qualify for the U.S. Publinks Match Play Championship.
The 2013 event will mark the third consecutive summer that Neisen has qualified for the U.S. Publinks Championship.

Myson Radiator Select Super Plus LST Panel - 6LSP200
- 25-5/8 inches x 78-3/4 inches - 7105 BTU - Low Surface Temperature - Made To Order Radiator – Allow 8-12 Weeks for Delivery - Non-Returnable and Non-Cancellable
Product ID • 6LSP20000000
The Myson Super Plus 6LSP200 LST Radiators are ideal for installations that require heating equipment to operate at a lower surface temperature. For example, higher surface temperatures are not appropriate for those most vulnerable such as young children, the elderly and infirm. The unique design of the Myson 6LSP200 LST gives a surface temperature of less than 109°F. This ensures absolute safety without compromising on heat output into the room.
The low surface temperature of Myson Super Plus 6LSP200 LST Radiators makes them ideal in situations where safety is paramount. Increasingly they are specified and installed by health authorities, local authorities, government departments, leisure centers and public buildings.
The LST Super Plus 6LSP200 Hydronic Radiators consist of an efficient internal heat emitter in an attractive and robust .047" (18 gauge) steel enclosure. The enclosure is designed to give protection against high surface temperatures and also provides for concealment and security of pipework and valves. A simple unique locking arrangement prevents unauthorized removal but gives ready and convenient access for venting and cleaning, decorating, etc.
Myson 6LSP200 Super Plus LST Hydronic Radiators use 1/2 inch British Thread which is a little different than American 1/2 Inch Thread. For this reason, we always recommend Myson Valves for all connections. All Myson Valves connect to 1/2 Inch copper piping.

Whether flying business class or escaping to a beach resort, avoiding heartburn while traveling is a challenge for anyone prone to acid reflux. "Traveling triggers heartburn because it inevitably adds stress and disrupts your routine," says registered dietitian Kathy McManus, director of nutrition at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.
Face it, you're sleeping in a different bed and eating new foods, all at odd hours. Even relaxation can trigger trouble if you're lying flat on the beach after eating a burger or sipping a margarita. The best way to avoid heartburn while traveling? Consider the following:
1. Avoid overstuffing yourself. A bloated belly is a surefire invitation for heartburn whether you're at home or traveling.
2. Try new foods but choose wisely. Opt for grilled over fried, sauces on the side. Go spicy only if you can handle it, and share rich desserts.
3. Stick to regular mealtimes and eat smaller portions. This way, even unfamiliar foods will be less likely to bring on heartburn.
4. Pack a sensible sandwich and snacks for the plane or the car so you won't have to resort to airport fare or roadside fast food. Faced with only those options? Look for grilled chicken or veggie wraps. Or order a kids' meal to keep portions small.
5. Steer clear of late-night noshing so you won't be lying down within two to three hours of eating.
6. Take a walk. Exercise helps prevent heartburn, and an after-dinner stroll ensures you won't recline on a full stomach.
7. Chew gum between meals to keep saliva flowing, which helps neutralize stomach acid and prevent heartburn.
8. Drink more water and fewer carbonated, caffeinated and alcoholic beverages, which can aggravate heartburn.
9. Wear comfy, loose travel clothing. Tight waistbands and belts may encourage acid reflux.
10. Ask the hotel for extra pillows or a sleeping wedge. Keeping your head and shoulders propped up allows gravity to help prevent acid reflux and heartburn.
11. Remember to pack your medications -- both prescription and over-the-counter -- to avoid having to search for drugstores in unfamiliar places. Pack them in your carry-on, not checked baggage.
12. Don't over-schedule your trip. Whether it's for business or pleasure, an overburdened itinerary creates stress that will make it harder to avoid heartburn while traveling. Take time to enjoy your trip.

text: Cameron Diaz says she has been with a woman. I don't think she means for coffee or shopping. "The Other Woman" star appeared on Monday's episode of "Watch What Happens Live," where host Andy Cohen noted Diaz recently said in an interview she believes all women have been sexually attracted to another woman at some point. Cohen then asked Diaz if she "ever swam in the lady pond." Diaz, 41, was coy, prompting Cohen to finally ask, "Have you ever been with a lady?" "Yes, I have been with a lady." Diaz said, though she declined to say how many times. "You didn't ask explicitly how I was with a lady, but I have been with a lady." He, obviously, should have then asked. In 2010, Diaz told Playboy: "We are who we are. We all know what drives us," she said.

The registration form for the January Term Visit Event will be available in early December.
This visit opportunity allows prospective students the opportunity to experience January term at Luther College. January term is a semester unlike any other, as it alters the pace of the academic year by creating opportunities for students to engage in focused exploration of a single subject. January study is often experiential and/or experimental, and it offers students both greater freedom and greater responsibility for their learning.
High School seniors may arrive on Sunday to take part in indoor or outdoor activities such as snowshoeing, hiking, basketball, rock climbing, card and board games, or socializing while watching the NFL playoffs.
Activities on Monday will introduce students to the academic facets of the January term experience: on-campus study, study abroad programs, internships, and research experiences. Interaction with current students and class visits are included in the schedule. First time visitors are encouraged to extend their time on campus in order to tour campus and/or attend an Introduction to Luther session.
The registration deadline for January Term Visit Day is Wednesday, January 15.

Big12Sports.com Correspondent
There are believers and non-believers when it comes to this season's Texas team. Phil Steele, who publishes a comprehensive preseason football magazine, ranks the Longhorns as No. 4 in the country. The media has UT ranked No. 4 … in the Big 12 Conference.
In 2009 Texas went undefeated and lost to Alabama in the national championship game. Since then, the Longhorns have been trying to reinvent themselves. Three seasons of hitting the reset button produced a 22-16 record.
"In looking back, it (the title game) probably affected me more than I realized it did,'' Texas coach Mack Brown said. "I pushed all the wrong buttons the next year. I let it linger …
"I am more confident this will be the best team we've had in three years. Now we've gotta shut up and do it. … I like fixing things. I don't like messing them up, and obviously I was involved in messing it up for whatever reason."
"We've had to reinvent ourselves, just like any other company,'' offensive coordinator, and former Texas quarterback Major Applewhite told USA Today. "When you have success for a while, there's a certain way you do things, people catch up. And you've got to reinvent yourself, be innovative and start to figure your niche again."
The last two seasons the Longhorns' two-deep roster has been dominated by freshmen and sophomores. This season, UT has grown up. While not a senior-dominated team, the Longhorns have more players with experience. No team has more starters returning than Texas, which has 19.
One of those is junior quarterback David Ash. From 2004 through 2009 with Vince Young and Colt McCoy, Texas had QBs that produced a total of 58 victories and a national championship. Both Young and McCoy made huge strides from their sophomore to junior seasons.
"We think David's ready to do that," Brown said. "We're a faster team. We're an older team. We should be a mature offense. Two years ago our offense wasn't very good. Last year at times they were really good. But we want to be more balanced."
Texas also wants to play at a faster pace. Last season, the Longhorns were next to last in the Big 12 in offensive plays per game. Applewhite is taking over as the play caller and in the offseason UT has worked on playing at a faster pace and calling plays without using a huddle.
"First, we think that David is ready to go up tempo now," Brown said. "He's in command. He's very confident. He knows what we want. The biggest thing is that he's had two great years to learn. Some things really positive, some things not as good … all of those situations have prepared him. When he speaks, they listen because he is the guy."
Coach: Mack Brown 150-43 in 16 seasons at Texas.
2012: 9-4 overall, 5-4 in Big 12, tied for 3rd.

Three Key Questions
1. Is David Ash a championship-level quarterback?
Going into his junior season, Ash has won the starting job after sharing it his first two seasons at UT. He likes the change in running an offense that operates at a higher tempo and he appears to be confident coming off a strong showing in the Alamo Bowl. If he makes the sophomore-to-junior improvement that has been the case with several top Big 12 QBs, the Longhorns will have an offensive MVP.
2. Will the defense improve?
Tackling was a huge problem last season and in the four losses Texas was gashed, allowing an average of 43 points and 449 yards per game. The secondary needs to replace Kenny Vaccaro but should still be outstanding. The front seven needs to improve, particularly when it comes to making plays behind the line of scrimmage.
3. Can the kicking game be a positive force?
When the Longhorns were winning 10 or more games per season, they excelled winning close games thanks to accurate kickers. In 2012 the Texas finished tied for last in the Conference, connecting on just 58 percent of its field goal tries (11 of 19). Punter Alex King finished second in the Big 12 last season but has exhausted his eligibility.
Information, Please
In 25 years of coaching, Mack Brown has had just seven junior-college transfers. Offensive tackle Desmond Harrison, whose eligibility was confirmed by the NCAA this week, is the seventh. A 6-foot-8, 315-pound junior, Harrison could provide a huge boost to the offensive line. … UT's offensive linemen have combined for 131 starts. … When junior running back Malcolm Brown has been healthy and productive, that's been a good sign for Texas the last two years. The Longhorns are 5-1 in games in which Brown has rushed for at least 80 yards. … In their last 20 games decided by three or fewer points, the Longhorns have 18 victories.
Numbers To Note
No team has more returning starters than the 19 Texas has. … Junior running back Joe Bergeron led Big 12 running backs in rushing touchdowns with 16. … In the Longhorns' nine victories, junior quarterback David Ash averaged one interception for every 42 pass attempts. … Texas averaged 4.5 yards per rushing attempt last season; that ranked eighth in the Big 12. (Oklahoma State led the Big 12, averaging 5.3 yards per attempt.) … Coach Mack Brown needs 27 victories to surpass Darrell Royal (219) as UT's leader in coaching wins.
