No line in the Eastern Conference is more suited to the wide-open style of play that the Edmonton Oilers perfected in the 1980's than the Rangers' Czech line. The Oilers still play that style, but the Czechs beat the Oilers at their own game last night.
Petr Nedved assisted on both of Brian Leetch's goals last night, the latter giving the Rangers a short-lived third-period lead. Mike Grier tied the score for Edmonton with a short-handed goal.
But Nedved set up Radek Dvorak's game-winner on the power play at 14 minutes 48 seconds with a nifty no-look backhanded pass from behind the Edmonton goal as the Rangers rallied from two goals down for a 4-3 victory.
''I wish we could play every game like that,'' Nedved said after the Rangers outshot the Oilers by 41-21. ''It was fun for us. It was fun for the fans.''
Coach Ron Low said: ''I don't know if we've seen a better game from our hockey club this year. That was a great hockey game.''Continue reading the main story
The victory was the Rangers' first this season in seven games in which they have allowed the first goal. It was the first time in 10 games this season that the Oilers lost after holding a lead. With their third straight home victory, the Rangers pulled back to .500 on both Garden ice (4-4-0-0) and over all (7-7-0-0). They did so by defeating an Edmonton team (9-6-2-0) that had won four straight games.
Leetch scored the Rangers' first and third goals. The second one, at 6:12 of the third period, was Leetch's 800th career National Hockey League point in 871 games.
Both sides were looking forward to the meeting, considering the number of participants who had skated or coached for both sides.
But the Rangers came out on their heels, and before the game was two minutes old, they were down by two goals.
Bill Guerin, the former Devil, scored first, 1:09 into the game, on a wicked one-timer from the bottom of the left circle off a pass from Tom Poti, who was left alone at the top of the slot. It was Guerin's 11th goal of the season.
It was 2-0 Edmonton at 1:58 as Eric Brewer, the former Islander, beat Mike Richter to the stick side with a long wrist shot from the top edge of the left wing circle. The goal, his first of the season, came after Sylvain Lefebvre had committed a turnover in his own zone.
But the Rangers were not about to be routed.
At 4:13, Sandy McCarthy fought the Edmonton tough guy Georges Laraque in a bout that fired up the crowd and also seemed to inspire the Rangers, who dominated the rest of the period.
The Rangers' Eric Lacroix, who leveled defenseman Sean Brown seconds earlier, drew a tripping penalty on Brown at 5:39.
Leetch struck on the power play, at 6:55, beating Tommy Salo with a wrist shot from the left circle dot. The goal was set up by a crisp cross-ice pass that Nedved threaded through what seemed like the entire Oilers squad in the slot.
Leetch's third goal of the season made it 2-1.
After their slow start, the Rangers began to take it to the Oilers. Edmonton had fired off the first five shots of the game to take the 2-0 lead. From there, the Rangers rattled off 25 of the next 33 shots on goal through the end of the second period.
And it was a 2-2 game when Mike York scored his third goal of the season, and second in two games, at 13:06 of the second period. He beat Salo between his legs with a nifty forehand-to-backhand-to-forehand move off the left post.
York's goal came the shift after the referees disallowed an apparent goal scored by York's linemate Lacroix, ruling that he kicked the puck in.
The referees returned the favor by disallowing an Edmonton goal at 14:09, ruling that the goal cage had been knocked off its moorings by Grier before the rebound of a Janne Niinimaa shot that Richter barely stopped was knocked in. And so the teams went into the final period deadlocked at 2-2.
Rangers Coach RON LOW waited until just before game time to decide that DALE PURINTON would be in the lineup as the team's sixth defenseman and TOMAS KLOUCEK would not. ''Both can help,'' Low had said at the morning skate, referring to the rookies. ''One in one end and one in the other end.'' Low was referring to Kloucek's offensive abilities as opposed to Purinton's physical presence. ''I'd like to see Kloucek in a game.'' But by game time, Low had decided on Purinton. ''One kid's played two and the other kid's played nothing,'' Low said, referring to the two National Hockey League games Purinton had played before last night. Purinton responded by body-slamming Edmonton's GEORGES LARAQUE during a first-period tussle. As for Kloucek? ''I like what I've seen of him in practice, though,'' Low said. ''He's a good skater, he's a big kid, and he moves the puck well.'' . . . The Rangers received a big scare yesterday morning when VLADIMIR MALAKHOV, who is rehabilitating a partially torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, had to be helped off the ice. It turns out that Malakhov took a slap shot above his left ankle. ''It was very painful,'' said Malakhov, who later returned to the ice. ''But nothing happened with the knee.'' The shooter was JOHN MACLEAN, who is still in limbo as General Manager GLEN SATHER tries to buy MacLean out of his contract. ''How well would that have went over?'' a relieved MacLean said, after he realized Malakhov was all right.Continue reading the main story

This final unit talks about different Cultural issues that I should be aware of if in case I will be teaching in different region. With this being said, in all fairness, I've been to Thailand twice and yes all those gestures mentioned in the Test in this unit were all true...specially Patting someone's head in Thailand, that's really disrespectful for them because in Thailand, the most important part of the body is the head.....This unit helped me to clarify a lot of the ESA structure. Both videos are actually interestingly funny. Watching the videos we are able to walk step by step with the teacher through out the lesson, thinking about what he was doing and how he was linking each phase of the lesson, and also whether he was successful or not. Hopefully after this unit I'll be able to think more clearly about the concepts of an ESA lesson structure.

Please help I'm losing it! 8 week old day time catnaps(11 Posts)
I'm in need of help as I'm desperate. Hardly getting any sleep and getting very little done and generally struggling to stay afloat really!
8 week old only manages 20/30mins sleep at a go throughout the day - that's on his own. So I get him off to a deep sleep (20mins) in my arms then put him down where he only manages a short catnap.
I feel like I've tried everything to get him to sleep for longer........swinging chair, sleepyhead, dark room, light room, quiet room, noisy room, buggy, car seat, dummy, white noise, making stay awake longer, really tiring him out in the awake bits, making be awake for a short time, bath in the morning as well as at night, swaddling, raising the head end of his basket, leaving him to settle himself, giving a quick cuddle then putting him back down, going back a few time to put his dummy in once he's awake etc but nothing works! (I've tried all this things over the last few weeks).
He has to be swaddled otherwise he would only sleep a few mins on his own as his reflex is very strong. He'll sleep longer on me (sling, in arms and snuggled up against me on the bed - could do a couple of hours during those).
He doesn't take much milk still - maybe 100mls/3oz and that's usually over 30 mins (he needs a little break from feeding during that time) every 2 hours, sometimes less!
At night he's better (sleeps for 2/3 hours at a time from 7.30 - 4) then he wakes himself up crying because of trouble with wind so I bring him in with me where he's better.
Am I doing something wrong, missing something or is it just the way he is until older? It's so hard when it's not getting better and you only see the next day as the same - over and over again!!
I'd be so grateful if any advice and words of encouragement please!
Normal. It is tiring. I had twins it was hard. It does get better.
Short naps are quite normal. Tgeckey to ensuring baby gets enough sleep is to keep naps very frequent. So, for example, your day may consist of repeating cycles of:m
Feed (on and off for 30 minutes)
Wind / cuddle (5-10 minutes)
Nappy check / floor play (until grumpy, maybe 5-20 minutes)
Wake and repeat.
Urrrggghh. I feel your pain.
What milk is he on? what are poos like?
It's very normal and does get better- although maybe not as quickly as you would hope.
For a while I couldnt even put DS down to nap- so he would sleep on my tummy whilst I laid on the bed and mumsnetted. It was done safely and you would need to work out if that would be something for you or not (for example if you are a deep sleeper who would nap who rolls definitely not).
Otherwise white noise- think kitchen extractor fan or white noise apps on phones.
If it goes on for a while you could try the no cry sleep solution- I never fully used it but reading the method was somehow comforting.
have you been to my house & met my son?? I could have wrote this word for word!
I feel for you op, I am going through exactly the same, DS is 8 weeks too
Hi, my wee one was like this and still cat naps at 7 months with the occasional decent nap. It's just the norm I'm afraid.
Things I done to survive: co-sleep for naps if I needed sleep as LO slept for a few hours that way, hold LO whilst they slept and watch a box set lol, put LO in bouncer/swing for 15 mins whilst I showered or tidied- just took it from room to room with me. I accepted that my house wouldn't be as tidy as normal but that it wasn't forever.
Things got much better around 3 months as LO became more alert and was easier to keep entertained. At 7 months it's much better, night time sleep has drastically improved, although we still have our moments.
Just try to survive and take a day at a time!
Thanks for all your advice.
Fate - that's similar to the routine I already do except he likes a feed before he 'goes' to sleep and I like to think he's full before a sleep so I could technically get him to sleep longer!
Beach - he's on Aptamil and generally pooing fine except has been off since his vaccinations.
Lifesjoys - nice to know there's others out there in a similar situation too. How's it all going now?!
Jb- I'm crossing everything that things will improve at 3 months - just 2 weeks to go!!
For the day time naps should I be doing the whole 'put them down when drowsy after a feed and letting them try and self settle - leaving them to cry for a few mins)?! I've tried it a few times (although not consistently) but he doesn't go off and hollers for 15/20mins (I pop in and out). Maybe me holding him asleep then putting him in his basket means that when he stirs and semi wakes up there he wonders where the hell he (and I) am and panics?!
Do most of you do this at bedtime already;
Bath and change
Feed (not fall asleep on bottle) and burp
Swaddle and cuddle
Put in bed drowsy but not asleep
Pat and stroke for 1 min
Leave room saying 'night'
(Leaving him cry for a few mins and going in to re-burp and say 'night' again)
Then repeating going in after a few mins of crying to stroke and say 'night'?!
It's exhausting isn't it!?
Re the short naps, both of my girls were exactly the same and would only nap for precisely 30 min. I can set my watch by them. With my first I drove myself crazy trying to get her to sleep for longer as the books said she should. I would have been much happier if I'd just accepted it. I've since learnt that catnaps are common and many babies are not developmentally ready to link their sleep cycles until 6-9 months. With my first she suddenly started napping longer at 8 months. My second is 5.5 months and we're still in catnap
hell land, but I just accept it and am much happier!
I think all you can do is try to make sure she has regular naps, with 1 to 1.5 hours max between naps. If she'll sleep for longer on you (quite usual as then you can resettle the second she starts to stir) then do it when it suits you. I often curl up on the sofa with DD2 if the weather is crap or there is something I want to watch on TV. Let your domestic standards slip a bit, it's not forever and the snuggly baby age is short - you have the rest of your life to do housework!
Regarding self settling, I do think it's important for babies to learn but there is no point pushing it if they're not ready and need lots of help to fall asleep. I use the Baby Whisperer technique of putting baby swaddled in bed with dummy and white noise and patting her to sleep. This way she falls asleep in her own bed and you can gradually use less patting. At this stage I would stay there until your little boy falls asleep if he's crying as soon as you leave. You'll probably find that he gets used to the routine and if you have nights where he seems calm and content then try by all means to leave whilst he's awake. At this stage I really wouldn't leave him to cry at all - he needs you and he needs to know that you will come to comfort him. With time he'll need you less.
DD1 is now 2 and an amazing sleeper, going to sleep on her own and rarely calling for us in the night. I have to say that it took hours of work over many months to get her to that point but the hard work really paid off. She learnt to settle herself but also that we will be there for her when she needs us (which still happens when she's sick or when the new baby arrived etc).
Hope that helps!
Theres no reason to leave your 3 month old to cry. I certainly wouldn't.
If you want baby sleeping independantly, I'd suggest establishing a dummy. These at the ideal no-crying independant sleep solution.
Have faith op!
My DS is 10 weeks Monday, his sleep has dramatically improved.
He has a dummy but has had since birth however he relies on it that little bit more.
I now have a routine for him, for bedtime.
Then go in as many times as is necessary to put his dummy back in, each time I tell him il see him when he wakes up.
Unfortunately sometimes he is left to cry solely because I'm stuck on the toilet or in the shower!

I Heart Adam!
Adam Lambert's performance at the PC Richard and Son went off without a hitch (alright, well maybe it had one or two hitches) Monday, February 15th. Check out http://www.iheartradio.com/mediaplayer/?station=IHM-IP&action=stripped&item=17651882 for the stripped version of Fever and the Get Off Your Phone clip. Some people in the media labeled the "get off your phone" incident Diva-ish , but I personally thought Adam handled that whole situation with his usual grace.
http://www.iheartradio.com/iplaylist/artist/1152615/ has more songs and info from the evening. MJ also has excellent coverage of the concert (he was a lucky attendee). His synopsis of the night is here: http://mjsbigblog.com/adam-lambert-i-heart-radio-concert.htm. Lots of great videos and pictures there.
OMG now I've seen everything!! The camera Adam licked at the "Rock My Town" concert is now up for sale on eBay (shame on you, girrrl!)!!! Here's the link (might just have to put in a bid on this one!): http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290403219632&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT/
Adam was busy doing an interview for Nightline Saturday night on the Rooftop Lounge of the Kimberly Hotel in New York City. Here's a link to pics: http://neonlimelight.com/2010/02/16/out-about-adam-lambert-shoots-rooftop-nightline-interview/. He was also seen hanging out at Club 57 in the VIP section upstairs with Dustin Lance Black.
The picture above and others from the iheart radio concert can be found at http://www.pcrichardtheater.com/cc-common/gallery/display.html?album_id=217599. Highline Ballroom pictures (taken by Dino Perrucci) can be found at http://www.highlineballroom.com/photos.php?page=1&g=Adam_Lambert.
MTV's Jim Cantiello interviewed Kradison last Friday (this is a nine parter people!!) with lots of great information about Adam (Kris and Allison,too), and his upcoming plans. See it here at http://www.mtv.com/videos/news/484333/why-the-fans-love-kradison-the-hair.jhtml#name=news&id=1631984.
One Response to "I Heart Adam!"
Claudia – Has anyone told you yet that you should be named Queen of the F***in' Universe? I can't express how wonderful it is to get all this info on Adam. And, if Adam seems Diva-ish to some, Glamberts don't care if he is or whether the 'media' likes it or not!

Generally speaking, the rehearsal dinner is hosted by the groom's parents. Whether this is the case or not, the hosts (the people supplying funds for the event) should make the major decisions about this meal. If you are uncertain about whom to invite, discuss it with the hosts. Traditionally, the wedding party and close families are invited, but it is also a good idea to invite out-of-town guests, as they may have nothing else to do in an unfamiliar place that night. If money is an issue, you may certainly set up optional activities or come up with a list of fun places and things to do for your out-of-town guests and put it in their welcome baskets. Then, invite only the wedding party and immediate family on both sides. The only way to save hurt feelings is to keep it consistent. Don't invite just one friend who falls into neither category, because you will undoubtedly have other friends who will find out and feel slighted.
I highly recommend having your photographer capture the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. This is a sweet time of excitement and love that you will want to remember. Here are some shots from mine (all photos by Linda Story):

Is the UK housing market broken?
With the publication of a white paper last month, entitled "Fixing our broken housing market", the Government clearly thinks so. But if you're a landlord or looking to buy a property, what does that actually mean to you and what can you do about it?
The white paper itself is 106 pages long but Government policy is contained within just 60 of those pages. Having recently been asked to give a presentation on the subject and to save you the trouble of wading through, here's my at a glance guide and view on the report:
The Government recognises the urgent need for housing and a need to be more inventive in making housing available now and more supportive (both financially and practically) of those trying to find homes.
Looking to buy but struggling?
The Government will continue to assist first time buyers. The help available will be in the following form:
- ISAs to support saving for a deposit
- Help to Buy ISAs with a 20% discount for five years, allowing you to purchase with a 5% deposit
- Rent to Buy, meaning rent at a 20% discount to help save for a deposit
- Shared ownership, buying a 25% or more share of a property
There will be continued efforts to crack down on empty homes and support areas most affected by second homes. And the Government has said they will look at the buying / selling process to see if it can be improved.
Are you a landlord or tenant?
Standards in the private rented sector remain below those in the social and owner-occupied sectors, but are improving: just 28% of homes are now non-decent compared to 37% in 2010. (A property is non-decent if it fails to meet a set minimum statutory requirement. Factors to be taken into account when deciding if a property is "decent" include level of thermal comfort, the state of repair and whether the facilities are reasonably modern.)
The Government is going to encourage institutional investment in the private rented sector, helping to deliver approximately 15,000 new homes for rent. There are currently 54,000 in the pipeline.
Fairer rents
The aim is to make renting fairer for tenants and to promote transparency. That includes the growing number of leaseholders (there are around 4 million leasehold homes in England).
Renters often face upfront costs including fees charged by letting agents to tenants and tenants often have no control over these fees because the agent is appointed by and works for the landlord.
To combat this the Government has already introduced transparency in respect of fees and are going to consult early this year, ahead of bringing forward legislation as soon as Parliamentary time allows, to ban letting agent fees to tenants. This should improve competition in the market and give renters greater clarity and control over what they pay.
Safety and standards
The Government will also continue to try to drive up safety and standards in the private rented sector and drive out rogue landlords.
In the white paper, the Government repeated its intention to implement measures introduced in the Housing and Planning Act 2016, which will introduce banning orders to remove the worst landlords or agents from operating and enable local councils to issue fines as well as prosecute. But we're still waiting for details.
Other measures may include making electrical safety checks for rented properties and client money protection for letting agents mandatory. An announcement on this is expected soon.
Finally, the Government also plans to extend mandatory licensing of Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) which will ensure greater protection for thousands of vulnerable tenants.
Family friendly private rented sector
According to a Shelter report last year, an estimated 65,000 families say that they were forced to move their child's school the last time they moved within the private rented sector. The predominant use of 6 and 12-month contracts can mean that families who are renting need to move home before they had planned, and that's alongside the uncertainty and costs associated with taking on a new rental property.
In light of this, it has become the Government's intention to make the private rented sector more family-friendly by taking steps to promote longer tenancies for new build rental homes.
You'll find the full white paper report here but I'll keep you up to date with any developments.

I congratulate any fans back in Wisconsin who stayed up to watch the Brewers first win of the year. For those who didn't, here's what you missed. Yovani did exactly what I hope he can do all year. He produced a quality start that showed exactly why so many people think he has unlimited potential. Yovani made a great pitch to get out of a jam in the 1st by getting a double play ball. He did the same in the 4th after Weeks first error of the year put Giants on 1st and 2nd with no outs. Overall, Yovani was nothing but solid. He made several hitters look silly, just buckling their knees with his curve ball. For those who forgot, Yo can swing the bat a little bit as well. Along with his pitching, he basically won the game single handedly by hitting a 3 run shot off Randy Johnson in the 5th inning. What made this even sweeter was that Johnson walked Kendall to get to Yo with 2 down in the inning. In case you missed it, it was a bomb deep over the left field wall. Besides this the offense was quiet, but when you get a good pitching effort it's Ok. I'd also like to point out that Todd "that's a good cup of" Coffey was huge. After Stetter walked the bases loaded, Coffey came in a got the huge third out. Coffey pitched a solid 1 1/3 and Villy pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for the save. Enough on that, here is your game preview:
The Brewers face another good young pitcher today in Matt Cain. Cain throws hard and has just as much of an upside as Lincecum. Again, since the Brewers are a high strikeout team, this could be trouble. The Crew's offense needs to get going, especially since I'm guessing Gallardo won't be in the lineup. Manny Parra gets the ball for the Crew. Parra, along with Gallardo, are the young guns that we need to have a big year. Parra's problem is his control. He can tend to be erratic at times, which puts a lot of men on base, cauusing many jams. Play with fire and you're bound to get burned eventually. Hopefully he will be in control today and like Gallardo, take care of this lackluster Giants offense.
Lets get this one and come back to Milwaukee with a opening series win! Go Crew!

I've been a fan of Bill Pronzini's Nameless Detective series for a long time, which also makes me a fan of Nick Sullivan's performance as Nameless (who isn't anymore) and the characters who populate his world.
Hellbox is a riveting addition to the series. This time around, crime strikes home for Nameless when Kerry goes missing in the Sierra foothills during what should have been a calm, relaxing trip out of town. The reason she disappeared is no mystery for the reader--Pronzini gives us a chilling look inside the mind of her kidnapper, a psychopath pushed too far by town bullies who think they're just joking around. This means Hellbox isn't a typical Nameless mystery. Instead, it's a first-rate suspense novel about how casual, insensitive cruelties can lead to horrible consequences, especially for an innocent tourist who just went for a hike in the woods and talked to the wrong stranger at the wrong time.

This book wasn't for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
Someone who likes dark, unlikable protaganists.
Did Nick Sullivan do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
Yes. They were all very distasteful in very different ways.
You didn't love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
The storytelling by the narrator was adequate.
Any additional comments?
There were 2 main issues I had with this book. First, the protaganist was so unlikable that I didn't feel compelled to get past the first quarter of the book. Second, the prose seemed to really drag. Overall, it was a very depressing read/listen.

The Winter Olympics are underway and people all across the world are taking notice. But how much are the students at South watching and what games are they watching?
The Sochi Winter Games are down in prime-time ratings by 11 percent from the Vancouver Olympic numbers, according to NBC. However, 4.9 million more people watched the Sochi Opening Ceremony compared to the London Opening Ceremony for the Summer Olympics.
Interest from South students may have been different from the rest of the country. Senior, Isaac Brizendine, is very interested in what is happening in Sochi.
"I'm really interested and I love cheering on my country," he said.
Brizendine also said that hockey is his favorite Winter Olympics sport.
Senior student Brandon Benson feels the same way.
"It's the most exciting sport to watch," said Benson.
Benson also mentioned that while he'll watch more during the hockey competition that his overall interest level isn't high. He said that he wasn't watching much.
Diana Mendez, senior, has the same viewpoint as Benson. She said that she has not watched it and that there is no interest level. That lack of interest level was due to "a lot of homework that I have to spend time on."
Mendez also said that she liked the Winter Olympics more than the Summer Olympics because there is usually more time to watch in the winter than in the summer.
With four more days remaining in the 2014 Winter Olympics, eyes will be on Sochi to see who comes out with the most medals. How many of those eyes will be from the US and South?

Question about 1997 Buick Skylark
Posted by lisamwade03 on
I just replaced the heater core on my 1997 Buick Skylark about a year ago after one of the tubes completely came off and leaked all the coolant out. It was a fairly strenuous task because I had to stand on my head under the dash to remove the cover. There were also two screws that were hard to see and get to. I actually broke the cover because I couldn't see the screws (if the cover doesn't come off without much force you have probably missed a screw). The first step is to drain the coolant from your car, if it hasn't already leaked out. Then climb under your car and remove the two hose clamps and hoses from the heater core where the tubes come through the firewall (this is almost directly in the center, side-to-side, of the car). Also while under the car remove the rubber drain boot that is connected to the cover that I mentioned above. Then climb in the car upside down so you can see under the dash. In the center of the car under the dash you will see a plastic air channel that goes down into the floor. Remove the screws from this channel (I can only remember two screws) and disconnect the air hoses at the top on either side. Then the air channel will fold in the middle and should come out pretty easily. Once this is removed the plastic panel that I broke is next to come out. There are at least two screws on each side and two in the center (there may be more than this but is has been too long to remember). The two screws in the center are way down low where the floor board meets the firewall. They are not easy to see or get at but with a little patience you can get them out. Once this cover is off, the heater core is accessible. There may or may not be a couple of screws holding the heater core in place, if there is remove them and pull the heater core out. You will have to pull the tubes through the firewall. The new heater core that I bought was redesigned with metal instead of plastic tubes and looks like a much better design. I had to twist the tubes around to get them to align with the holes in the firewall. Then just reverse these directions to reinstall. Hopefully by now you haven't passed out from all the blood pooling in your head :) Sorry, I don't have any pictures of the process. Hope this helps.

So I am 710 miles ahead of minimum needed TDC mileage, I now have 900 miles to go to get twice around the world, and I have 8 1/2 weeks to go to the Kent marathon where I hope to good-for-age for London next year. Hence lots of exciting albeit slow miles ahead then for the next couple of months.
It might be fun to try to make the Kent marathon the goal for not only running a fairly fast time but also hitting that round the world mark and being 1,000 miles up on TDC mileage? Also getting to TDC 9,000 miles.
It will mean all at 100 miles a week minimum for the next 9 weeks, so back to it from today. A truly miserable morning of very cold wind and rain but lovely company. Another 13 miles in the bag.
TDC 737 days 8061 miles

I just reread my last post and I can tell you that the woman who wrote that post is not the same person writing now. Okay that's a bit dramatic, but wow have things changed around here.
I felt ready? Whaaaaaat? I was so NOT ready for my life. As I sit here typing almost two years to the day of my last post I can tell you I most certainly was not prepared for the events that would make up my life. Yikes! I still don't think I'm ready, but I do know one thing I will never again profess to be ready. EVER.
Okay, so flash forward. How do I sum up life over the past two years? It's been a blur. A wonderful, terrifying, exhausting and magical blur. Pretty much one hell of a ride and I don't anticipate it slowing down any time soon!
My daughter is three and a half and my twin boys turned two in August. I am thanking my lucky stars that they are all starting back at their montessori school tomorrow morning.
I hope we can become friends again over the next few months. I've missed you.

Birmingham Town Hall was the venue for the 2015 Francesco Group Photographic Awards, where stylists from all 36 Francesco Group salons along with stylists from sister group, Scissors gathered to celebrate their annual photographic awards.
The evening started with a show by the Francesco Group Creative Team, led by Directors of Hairdressing Anya and Mia Dellicompagni. They took to the stage to showcase the trends and techniques from their latest collection, Raw Erosion.
Director of Hairdressing, Anya took to the stage along with Training Manager, Craig Davies to present the awards to the upcoming stylists working towards their hairdressing qualifications either at one of Francesco Group's renowned academies or as part of a college partnership with Francesco Group.
Anya was later joined on stage by fellow Director of Hairdressing Mia Dellicompagni to present the awards to the salons.

The 2012 college football season heads into the post-season with conference championships this upcoming weekend as well as bowl games through December and early January. However, all over the country, college basketball is just beginning to reawaken in the minds of many. For us here in the Research Triangle, North Carolina, college basketball is as essential to life as food and the Word of the Lord.
This week the ACC matches up against the Big 10 in what will turn out some pretty intense games. Here are the flagship games for the 2012 ACC-Big 10 Challenge:
Tuesday, Nov. 27th
No. 4 Michigan welcomes No. 16 North Carolina State
Talk is already beginning to circle on whether NC State may have been a bit overrated in the preseason. The Wolfpack fell to an unranked OSU in the championship game of the Puerto Rico Tip-Off tournament and barely managed to beat unranked UNC-Asheville at home by 2 points. Ouch—definitely not a good way to earn the trust of your fans or the AP Top 25 poll. This game will depict the true strength of the Pack as they take on a solid No. 5 Wolverines. This game will also tell whether Michigan can beat a Top 25 team and claim their spot near to the top of the polls and the Big 10 Conference. The game is schedule for 7:30PM and will air on ESPN.
No. 9 North Carolina clashes with No. 1 Indiana
The UNC Tar Heels suffered an upset at the hands of Butler last Tuesday, but they showed they still had game when they man-handled Chaminade in a 112-70 victory over the Silverswords. Can the Tar Heels bring that same offense against Cody Zeller and the No. 1 Indiana Hoosiers? We will see. A victory for the Tar Heels will tell us that Butler was a fluke and that the Heels, even though undermanned, can still ball with the best. An Indiana win will solidify its spot as No. 1 and spread fear into the hearts of NCAA basketball. The game is schedule for 9:30PM and it will air on ESPN.
Wednesday, Nov. 28th
No. 5 Ohio State travels south to No. 5 Duke
We have seen this matchup before, and it didn't leave fond memories of the Duke Blue Devils and their Cameron Crazies. The Duke Blue Devils want revenge for an Ohio State beat down which took place last year and there is more than conference pride on the line on Wednesday night in Durham, North Carolina. The No. 5 Blue Devils struggled with VCU, but left little doubts after beating No. 2 Louisville on Saturday night. Will they continue their rise and beat Ohio State at home? The game is schedule for 9:30PM and it will air on ESPN.
The Top 25 vs. Top 25 matchups end there, but the fun continues with the rest of the ACC and the Big Ten going up against each other throughout Tuesday and Wednesday:
Tuesday, Nov. 27
Minnesota at Florida State
Maryland at Northwestern
Iowa at Virginia Tech
Nebraska at Wake Forest
Wednesday, Nov. 27
Virginia at Wisconsin
No. 15 Michigan State at Miami
Purdue at Clemson
Georgia Tech at Illinois
Boston College at Penn State
This could be the hottest ACC/Big Ten Challenge yet with three Top 25 vs. Top 25 matchups, in the fight for conference pride and dominance, as well as Maryland recently jumping ship to the Big Ten. Will the ACC make the Big Ten pay for that?

I love making tarts and quiches, but sometimes the effort involved in preparing the pastry, lining the tin, blind baking, cooking the ingredients, filling, baking, blah blah, puts me off slightly. It's fine when you have all afternoon and nothing better to do, but not when time is short.
So when I spotted one of these on Pinterest I thought – of course, why didn't I think of that? I've made a fruit version of this lots of times before, it's what I usually call a 'one crust pie'. You roll out the pastry, dump the fruit in the middle and bring up the sides, bake, ta-dah! Not the prettiest looking pie/tart, but tastes just as good, so if you're not out to impress anyone with aesthetics, it's a huge time-saver. But I'd oddly never considered making a savoury version.
Okay, you still need some time on this to slice a couple of onions, and then gently, slowly cook the onions down, but it's not a great effort. I also confess I bought a block of pastry, which I never normally do, just to save a bit more time. I won't lose any sleep over it.
This uses the first of our onions that were planted as sets back in the autumn and have been growing over winter. They weren't left to dry out, so were used 'wet' or 'green' as they're called. This means they are slightly milder in flavour, but they still managed to make my eyes water! We had this with pork and leek sausages and asparagus (sadly not my own – next year) and some of my homemade apple jelly.
Ingredients are listed in bold. My own recipe.
- If making your own shortcrust pastry, follow the link here for my standard shortcrust pastry recipe, and place in the fridge to chill.
- Slice 2 largish onions as thinly as you can.
- Strip the leaves from a few stalks of thyme, and/or chop some chives.
- Heat a shallow pan and add a splash of oil and a knob of butter.
- Turn the heat down and cook the onions for around 30 mins until soft and slightly caramelised.
- Add 2 tablespoons of creme fraîche (or double cream) the herbs and if you like a bit of cheese (I had some stilton to use up so threw that in) season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for a few more minutes.
- Roll out the pastry into a large circle. I found it helpful to use a plate as a guide to the size I wanted the tart, and then you'll need roughly a 2 inch border. Transfer to a parchment lined baking tray.
- Spread the onions over the central circle, then bring the sides up, overlapping as you go.
- Brush with a little beaten egg and bake (around 180ºc) for about 40 mins or until golden.

impossible not to be pleased visually when you're in the midst of a
quality conversation with CinderElla. The words will flow with an
unimaginable amount of ease. You won't even have to think about
what to say next. Some may think that you'll be tongue tied when
chatting with her. It's easy to think that way considering how
gorgeous she is. However, this shouldn't be a problem at all.
You'll find it extremely simple to get a conversation started and
to keep it going.
The obvious can't be overlooked. She's stunningly sexy. Some girls are just cute and that's it. She's sexy and you know it. The way she wears stockings will shock you. That sounds a little weird. It isn't in the slightest. Not considering the fact that she has some very sexy legs. Those stems of hers only look better when she's wearing stockings. If she's not wearing them when the two of you are chatting, ask her to put some on. You need to see those legs of hers at their very finest.
CinderElla is one cam girl who lives up to her name. You're going to wonder where the dwarfs are. She doesn't need to wear a glass slipper to be the queen of your heart. She'll always be your little princess. When she's all dolled up, that's when you know for certain this girl is for real. It's not just her stocking legs or pretty smile that will get your attention. It could even be said that it won't be just her extremely curvy body. Just her sensual personality alone will get the job done. The added bonus of her beauty is what will push it all over the edge.
Sensuality is in short supply in this world. People tell girls that it's wrong to act like the person they are. Just like people shame men these days for simply liking girlie girls. There's nothing at all to be ashamed about when it comes to enjoying this sweet honey. The two of you can be exactly who you are. There's never a need to hide what your real intentions are. It's okay to be a man if you're willing to allow her to be a girl. If you are, she'll take care of you like only a delightful cam girl can.
Check out CinderElla's earned badges right here. Help her collect them all! Updated once a day! Click here to check out an overview of all badges

Get familiar with our publications, read about our national and international projects, take a look at the awards collection!
Acronym: COMPUVAC
Period: 2005-2009
Recombinant viral vectors and virus-like particles are considered the most promising vehicles to deliver antigens in prophylactic and therapeutic vaccines against infectious diseases and cancer. Several potential vaccine designs exist but their cost-effective development cruelly lacks a standardised evaluation system. On these grounds, COMPUVAC is devoted to:
(i) rational development of a novel platform of genetic vaccines
(ii) standardisation of vaccine evaluation.
COMPUVAC assembles a platform of viral vectors and virus-like particles that are among today's most promising vaccine candidates and that are backed up by the consortium's complementary expertise and intellectual property, including SMEs focusing on vaccine development. COMPUVAC recognizes the lack of uniform means for side-by-side qualitative and quantitative vaccine evaluation and will thus standardise the evaluation of vaccine efficacy and safety by using "gold standard" tools, molecular and cellular methods in virology and immunology, and algorithms based on genomic and proteomic information. "Gold standard" algorithms for intelligent interpretation of vaccine efficacy and safety will be built into COMPUVAC's interactive Genetic Vaccine Decision Support System, which should generate:
(i) vector classification according to induced immune response quality, accounting for gender and age
(ii) vector combination counsel for prime-boost immunisations
(iii) vector safety profile according to genomic analysis.
Since one of our "gold standard" antigens is the West Nile virus (WNV) envelope protein, an additional aim of COMPUVAC is to generate a candidate vaccine against WNV. As end products, our vector platform and "gold standard" tools, methods and algorithms will be available to the scientific and industrial communities as a toolbox and interactive database which standardised nature should contribute to cost-effective development of novel vaccines with validated efficacy and safety profile
Acronym: BIOPTRAIN
Period: 2005-2009
Completion of the sequencing of the entire human genome and other major technological advances in bioinformatics have opened up a huge range of scientific challenges that will need to be addressed in order to maintain Europe's scientific and commercial competitiveness and effectiveness in this emerging area of healthcare. An FP6 Network of Excellence, BIOPATTERN, has been established to integrate leading institutes around Europe to form a virtual institute for the study of individualised healthcare. The overall grand vision of BIOPATTERN is to integrate the analysis of the nano level bioinformatic data with micro level biosignal data and macro level patient information data in a pan-European cooperative research effort to combat major disease classes. Selected members of BIOPATTERN (University of Nottingham, UK (UoN), University of Florence, Italy (UoF), Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium (KUL), University College of Borås, Sweden (UCB) and Poznan University of Technology, Poland (PUT) ) will form the core of the BIOPTRAIN EST, the aim of which is to establish a complementary wide-ranging training programme of world-class quality in bioinformatic optimisation algorithms. There are two crucial groupsof beneficiaries:
(i) the next generation of European scientists must be trained to take advantage of the latest advances in bioinformatics with an aim of creating a vibrant, future-proof and self-sustaining research effort;
(ii) benefits from bioinformatics advances worldwide must be targeted to the European citizen ? we cannot dependon research communities based in the USA and elsewhere to meet the specific needs of European healthcare.
Acronym: METAFUNCTIONS
Period: 2005-2008
The METAFUNCTIONS project, funded within the European Commission's FP6 NEST Adventure programme, has pooled expertise in bioinformatics, computer science, geographical information systems and marine sciences and has developed a data-mining system that correlates genetic patterns in marine genomes and metagenomes with contextual environmental data.
This innovative system provides scientists with hints towards the functions of hypothetical genes. Such insight provides a wealth of information pertaining to niche adaptations, as well as substances with potential medical and industrial use.
The project partner, Poznan University of Technology (PUT), has developed an innovative and unique text mining pipeline called Poseidon. Thousands of accessible scientific publications are regularly screened for relevant information. The analysis includes text classification and information retrieval and extraction. A variety of natural language processing algorithms are applied to extract relevant information from texts to collate and store marine metagenomics data in the MetaStorage database.

Earth: A Visitor's Guide to the Human Race, by Jon Stewart
The eagerly awaited new book from the Emmy-winning, Oscar-hosting, Daily Show-anchoring Jon Stewart–the man behind the megaseller America (The Book).
Where do we come from? Who created us? Why are we here? These questions have puzzled us since the dawn of time, but when it became apparent to Jon Stewart and the writers of The Daily Show that the world was about to end, they embarked on a massive mission to write a book that summed up the human race: What we looked like; what we accomplished; our achievements in society, government, religion, science and culture — all in a tome of approximately 256 pages with lots of color photos, graphs and charts.
After two weeks of hard work, they had their book. EARTH (The Book) is the definitive guide to our species. With their trademark wit, irreverence, and intelligence, Stewart and his team will posthumously answer all of life's most hard-hitting questions, completely unburdened by objectivity, journalistic integrity, or even accuracy.
My Thoughts:
I really wanted to like this story. I actually bought this for someone as a gift YEARS ago when it was released and now that I listened to part of it, I regret buying it for them. I can't say that I watched a lot of Jon Stewart, but what I have seen was pretty good. I guess I expected this to be funnier. It was really goofy and silly, but not in a funny way. I smirked at certain points, but nothing was really "bust a gut" funny. MAYBE reading the book is different. The audiobook has a wide cast who all have varying volumes, and I found that Jon himself would start off talking clearly, but then mumble the rest of a sentence off. It was very annoying to try to listen to in the car – it was either too loud or too quiet. If you're a big Jon Stewart fan, you might like this, but it just wasn't for me.
Past Midnight (Past Midnight, #1), by Mara Purnhagen
Let me set the record straight. My name is Charlotte Silver and I'm not one of those paranormal-obsessed freaks you see on TV…no, those would be my parents, who have their own ghost-hunting reality show. And while I'm usually roped into the behind-the-scenes work, it turns out that I haven't gone unnoticed. Something happened on my parents' research trip in Charleston—and now I'm being stalked by some truly frightening other beings. Trying to fit into a new school and keeping my parents' creepy occupation a secret from my friends—and potential boyfriends—is hard enough without having angry spirits whispering in my ear.
All I ever wanted was to be normal, but with ghosts of my past and present colliding, now I just want to make it out of high school alive…
My Thoughts:
I love a good grim reaper story, but this one didn't cut it for me. I was very interested in the beginning, but it seemed that whenever I picked up the story to read, it would take forever for me to try and get into it. This made the book way too easy to put down. The story itself does sound really interesting, but unless you plan to sit down and read it all in one go, I think I would skip this one. It's a very short read, but I had hoped for something that would keep my interest, even if I had to put it down for a while.
The Casual Vacancy, by J. K. Rowling
When Barry Fairbrother dies in his early forties, the town of Pagford is left in shock.
Pagford is, seemingly, an English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, but what lies behind the pretty façade is a town at war.
Rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with their pupils…Pagford is not what it first seems.
And the empty seat left by Barry on the parish council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen. Who will triumph in an election fraught with passion, duplicity and unexpected revelations?
The Casual Vacancy is J.K. Rowling's first novel for adults.
My Thoughts:
I know what you're thinking – I probably got this because I thought it would be Harry Potter, right? In fact, that's not the reason I got it. I do love J. K. Rowling's writing and thought that it would carry over into her new adult novel, but this one really didn't grab me. I should've known from the instant I read the synopsis that it wasn't a novel I'd like because I couldn't figure out the point of it. I've read plenty of adult novels in my time, but the first 100 pages of this took forever to read and by the time I finished those 100 pages I realized that I didn't really care about any of the characters. Also, once I put the book down for a break, I realized that I had no desire to pick it back up again. I did learn my lesson though: Just because I love the author, doesn't mean I'll love everything they write. Lesson learned.
Two and Twenty Dark Tales: Dark Retellings of Mother Goose Rhymes, by various authors
In this anthology, 20 authors explore the dark and hidden meanings behind some of the most beloved Mother Goose nursery rhymes through short story retellings. The dark twists on classic tales range from exploring whether Jack truly fell or if Jill pushed him instead to why Humpty Dumpty, fragile and alone, sat atop so high of a wall. The authors include Nina Berry, Sarwat Chadda, Leigh Fallon, Gretchen McNeil, and Suzanne Young.
My Thoughts:
It seems that there are a LOT of fairytale retelling these days. I have liked a lot of the retellings I've read, so when I saw that this book contained retellings of Mother Goose Rhymes, I was excited. But it just didn't cut it. I read the first 3.5 stories and didn't really like any of them. Maybe it's just me, but the stories seemed too rooted in fantasy and I guess I wanted a book that was set more in this day and time, rather than something taking place in other worlds and other times. I wanted to connect with the stories a little more. This might just be me being picky, but I think I'll stick to the fairytale retellings instead.

A friend of mine gave me her fetal heartbeat monitor a while ago and said far I had no luck in detecting one on my own. By now, at 14 weeks and 5 days, it should be possible to find it.
Today, my very patient husband gave it a go and he found it after about a minute! I started to bawling right away (of course). It is so amazing to hear that fast paced thudding, we both couldn't stop grinning.
I have found this so reassuring after over 2 weeks without a scan and barely any symptoms, we both had a big sigh of relief. 🙂

Complex Magazine recently posted a pre-Photoshopped image of famous-for-doing-nothing* Kim Kardashian, which wouldn't have been that big of a deal except that they yanked it a few hours later and re-posted a cleaned-up version. Soon thereafter, that image was also removed.
Sigh. It's so sad to see it side-by-side knowing that this shit happens every. freaking. day.
Big props to Animal New York who initially caught the change-up; via Dlisted.
*Sorry, I forgot she had a sex tape, so he has done something. Oh, and her daddy defended OJ Simpson.

Do you ever get home from work and immediately shuck all of your uncomfortable clothing and do ballet jumps through the air while naked because if feels so wonderful to break free from the chains from adult life (at least for a moment)? No? Oh. Me either. I'm not sure why I even asked that…..
To add to the joy of getting out of that dress and heels, I came home on my lunch break and started dinner in the crockpot. Soooo….no cooking duties tonight! Woot! That only leaves laundry and the freedom to paint rocks.
Yes. You read that correctly. Paint rocks. Apparently there is a fledgling fad on the Great Facebook (sarcasm font) that is trying to take hold. It's like that awful Pokemon obsession but much much less lame. (Shut up. Yes it is.) What you do is gather some rocks (hopefully legally) and paint super cute, silly, and/or inspirational things on them and then hide them in random places in your area. (Be sure to paint the name of your local rock painting site on the bottom!) You do this in the hopes that someone will find it, be delighted, notice the page name on the bottom, and report their find online. Then, hopefully, they will rehide it elsewhere and be inspired to rush out and paint and hide their own rocks. I have no idea what the long-term goal of this is, but I enjoy it. I feel kinda like a gift fairy flitting around hiding miniature pieces of art for others to find.
Don't judge. Just try it! You may even find the whole process therapeutic.
Peace and oil paint grease.
Song of the day:
I chose Asleep at the Wheel by The Bloodhound Gang because knowing that song helped me solve Final Jeopardy last night.
Book of the day:
My book challenge dictates that I read a book published before 1900, so I am reading Swiss Family Robinson by Johann David Wyss. Who the heck has that much practical survival knowledge in their noggin? The characters obviously didn't live in the digital age, in which we know a whole lot of nothing because why should we? If you don't know something, Google it.
Recipe of the day:
Crockpot Chicken and Stuffing
I have no idea where this recipe originated or who to give credit to.
1 lb chicken
1 box herb stuffing
1 can cream of whatever (you pick)
1 can's worth of milk
A few slices of Swiss cheese
A few pats of butter
Salt, pepper, other seasonings
Put a crockpot condom (er….liner) in your crockpot. Place chicken (frozen or thawed…it matters not) in there. Season. Top with slices of Swiss cheese. Mix the cream of and the milk and pour over chicken. Top with entire box of stuffing mix. Dot with pats of butter. Cover. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Make a veggie to go with it for diminished guilt level.

An interesting topic has come to my attention of late: flashlights. Now, not just any 'ol flashlight, but tactical flashlights. You may ask, what exactly is a tactical flashlight and what makes it any better than a regular flashlight? Those are excellent questions and I shall do my best to answer both. A tactical flashlight is best classified as a small, light-weight yet powerfully bright flashlight built of weapon-grade aluminum. They frequently have an activator switch (button) on the tailcap and are typically designed to be attached to a firearm. Black is the standard color.
Definitions are all well and good, but why should you go spend your hard-earned money on one of these woop-di-do flashlights when you already have 5 flashlights at home? What's so important about these lights? Well, first of all, let's look at the reasons we need flashlights:
- identify unknown objects or persons in a dark environment
- reveal potential hazards
- aid in locating objects stored in darkened places (cabinets, shelves, storage areas or dark corners)
- assistance in completing a task (reading a book, finishing up an outside task, etc…)
Target Identification…
Of these four, the first one is clearly the most relevant to tactical situations (and by tactical I mean any situation that is related to self-defense, military or police action or any deviation therein), with the second reason coming in close behind it. When you hear that bump in the night, it is critical for your conscience's sake (and law enforcement) for you to be able to clearly identify the threat. To do that, you must be able to visually determine if the person has the capability, intention, and ability of doing said harm to you or your loved ones and this assessment must be done within a few seconds. Now, multiply that by considering that the large majority of violent encounters occur at night… Imagine yourself stumbling out of bed in the middle of the night in response to a loud noise, reaching for your firearm, seeing a human sized form in your hallway, training your firearm on the perceived threat, and shooting said form. You have completed all the steps in your home defense plan. You have defended yourself from a threat and protected your loved ones… except for one major problem: you did not identify the threat. What if that large form was your drunk neighbor who simply got the wrong house, or a family member dropping in due to unforeseen circumstances, or a coat rack your spouse had recently moved into the hallway? Or it may have been a genuine threat. At that point, the only way to know is to turn on the light and examine the damage. Keeping a flashlight either on or next to your home-defense firearm and utilizing that light during that middle-of-the-night wake-up-call will most definitely help prevent tragedies and ease your conscious in the aftermath. It will also help you articulate to law enforcement or a jury why you felt your life was endangered.
And the other 3 reasons…
Tactical flashlights are also advantageous when considering the other three reasons to use a flashlight. These lights are so small and compact you are more likely to have one on your person than a conventional light and thus they help you avoid hazards, find objects, and finish that project. Mine has also saved me from a face full of spider-web.
Why Use a Tactical Flashlight?
The tactical flashlight has many advantages over conventional flashlights in home-defense planning.
- It is compact. It is easy to keep next to you while sleeping at night and on your person during the day.
- It is lightweight. The weight of the flashlight does not dramatically affect the handling of the firearm. Also, as a daily carry item its minimal weight is especially beneficial.
- It is very bright. A conventional flashlight with two D batteries and a standard bulb puts out 15 to 20 Lumens. 200 Lumens are considered the minimum for tactical purposes and 500 Lumens are preferred. This brightness will temporarily blind your opponent giving you the advantage of time and target ID. The light may also confuse and disorient your opponent, deterring or delaying an assaultive action.
- The beam is tightly controlled. The beam on a conventional flashlight spills out to the sides, fills an area and frequently has dark spots. With a quality tactical flashlight, the beam is solid, concentrated and contains no dark spots. Aside from simply focusing all the light into one area, a controlled beam also prevents the person holding the light from being illuminated.
- It easily attaches to a firearm. There are many options and accessories available for attaching a tactical flashlight to your firearm without affecting the handling or cycling. Attaching a light to the firearm is key to reduce lag time and ensures you can operate the firearm while keeping the bad guy illuminated. This is especially critical on long guns. Try to hold a flashlight and a long gun, activate the light, identify the target, hold them both on target, and get off accurate shots. Now try doing the above with that pump shotgun so many of us have as our home defense firearm… Like I said, attach a light.
Counter Arguments…
Some may argue that holding a flashlight in front of you (or attaching a light to your gun) only provides a bullseye for the criminal. And to some degree, they are correct. By holding the light in front, any shots fired at the light are more likely to hit your vital areas. Ultimately, the best situation is for you to be in the cover of darkness while looking into a lit room. If you could rig up your house in such a way that ensures you are always in the dark and the rooms you are searching light up before you get to them, then I suppose you would not need a flashlight. However, as that is not feasible for most of us, a very bright flashlight is the best alternative to shooting in the dark. And there are techniques that may be used to draw the criminal's line of fire from your center mass to less vital areas. I plan on exploring these techniques in my next article.
Concluding Thoughts…
Overall, a quality flashlight is valuable to have on hand in our day-to-day lives as well as in tactical and emergency situations. I find myself using my flashlight to find gun boxes stored under the display cabinet, light up the path to my apartment, and to look for spider webs. While I am certainly grateful to be spared that auspicious meeting with the spider, I know I'll be even more grateful for my tactical light's bright beam should I ever use it while meeting a predator of a different sort.
*Many thanks to Richard McLarin, representative for SureFire, for sharing his knowledge of tactics and flashlights.

The Social Security Disability Insurance program provides benefits to people with many different types of disabilities. These disabilities severely limit individuals' ability to work, earn money, and perform essential daily activities. Many potential claimants call our disability attorneys and ask them if their condition qualifies for benefits. We are often asked about blindness and other vision problems. We understand that losing eyesight makes it extremely difficult for someone to keep working and making money to support themselves, and with our help, you can receive disability benefits for vision problems. The Social Security Administration has specific requirements that such disabilities must meet to qualify, but receiving benefits is very possible.
We at Summit Disability Law Group will help you at every step of the disability claims process. On this page, we identify some of the key points concerning disability benefits and vision problems.
Social Security Disability Benefits for Vision Problems
The SSA has a medical "listing of impairments" which identifies conditions that qualify for disability benefits. This listing includes three specific vision problems. These are:
- "Loss of Central Visual Acuity"
Central Visual Acuity refers to the clarity of your central (non-peripheral) vision. In all cases of vision disabilities, the SSA will consider your ability to see with your better eye — the eye less affected by your disability. If vision is 20/200 or less in your better eye, even with glasses or contacts, then you may qualify for benefits.
- "Contraction of the visual field in the better eye"
This refers to your peripheral vision. If loss of peripheral vision in your better eye meets the SSA's severity requirements, you may be eligible for benefits.
- "Loss of visual efficiency, or visual impairment, in the better eye"
Visual efficiency is your total ability to see. This includes both central and peripheral vision. You may qualify for benefits if the visual efficiency of your better eye is impaired severely enough.
These are the major vision disabilities specifically listed by the SSA. If you think you may qualify based on this information, please contact us. We can help you win your disability case. Helping our clients get the help they need is our top priority.
Utah Disability Attorneys
If you have questions about receiving disability benefits for vision problems, we have the answers. At Summit Disability Law Group, we pride ourselves on helping our clients build the strongest possible cases. Your well-being is important to us, and we will do all we can to get you what you deserve.
We wrote a book to help disabled Utahans, The Utah Social Security Disability Handbook. You can order a free copy today and start learning about disability law. We also offer free initial consultations so that you can meet us face-to-face without any financial obligation. We hope to be able to sit down with you and discuss winning your claim.
