Not there now
The latest driver 188.8.131.5210 doesn't appear to have the option to "disable front detection," as previously. Now the only option is: "Enable jack detection when device is plugged in," which doesn't help the problem. Front jacks work fine for me on XP boot but not on Win 7.

Hey nedinc, try going to the yellow folder (on top of the jacks), that lets you choose to "disable front panel jack detection". It worked for me :)

Thank you for responding. Unfortunately, my yellow folder in sound manager, which is the R237 update published on 11/20/09, only has "Enable jack detectcttion when device is plugged in" as an option. I have a check mark in this box. If I click on the front jacks no headset is recognized on Win 7. It works fine when I boot to XP on the other hard drive.
I noticed one other anomaly. In the Win 7 control panel, if I go to: "Sound, Spekers, Properties, Levels," and slide the microphone volume left and right, I hear a changing hiss volume in the ear phones (the ear phones are plugged into the pink ear phone jack). I notice no sound changes when I slide the "Front Pink In" bar left and right.
Note: When I did the R237 update, both of these levels came with red-x muted marks on them, which I removed. Checking the muting status may solve the problem for someone.

nedinc, hmm, I'm pretty sure the pink jack is for microphones. try plugging it into the front green jack.

Thank you again. I was doing it right (headset in green hole, microphone in pink hole) but reported it wrong due to confusion in the Win7 control panel. If I go to "Sound, Spekers, Properties, Levels" in the control panel, I see a microphone slider. Below that is a "Front Pink In" slider. Below that is a "Front Green In" slider. With the headset plugged into the front green hole, I hear changes in the hiss level when I move the "Microhone" slider. I don't hear any sounds when I switch the front jacks or move any other sliders. Attached are screen shots for my Win7 Control Panel, and the Realtek Connector Settings folder. These are with the R237 update.
Again, everything works as it should when I boot to XP on the second hard drive.

Hmmm I wish I could help you further more with the issue, but I unfortunately ran out of ideas LOL. Try giving a look in the Device Manager and see if there is something else missing a working driver. I know it sounds dumb, but it`s just an idea that popped up here...

i wish i had more ideas too... ive set up Windows 7 Pro on two separate motherboards (1. Cubecove 2. Skyberg) The funny thing is that on the Skyberg, methinks the MB is defective since it only gave sputtering sound (on for a few seconds, silent forever until re-plugged) but on the Cubecove the back jack is fine. The front panel gives me nothing but grief. The Driver is current but the detection is still faulty.
Will be testing other methods...

My OS is Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, with a ASUS M2N68-AM PLUS motherboard. My PC does not detect my headphones/microphones when plugged in into the front jacks. I can see no yellow folder, nor any Advanced settings option. My driver version is 22.214.171.12495,which I upgraded from 184.108.40.206(something) since it was giving me the same problem.
I also tried using the XP Realtek Audio manager, but that wasn't showing me anything either (2nd and 3rd screenshot).
Any suggestions guys?

How i did it
This is how i got the headphones working under windows 7.
My System is no particular make with an Asrock motherboard and on board HD audio by Realtek.
If a previous version of the driver is installed.
1 download the latest driver from the motherboard manufacturers site.
2 extract the new driver to a file.
3 Run the driver setup, It will carry out an uninstall of the old driver first.
4 reboot as instructed when uninstall has completed.
To install the new driver and set up the bios.
1 open the folder you extracted the driver too and run the setup.exe.
2 when the driver has installed allow the system to restart.
3 when the system is restarting press whichever key takes you into the bios, before windows starts.
4 in the bios (typically a blue, keyboard controls menu system) right arrow across to the ADVANCED tab.
5 in this tab you are looking at a list of settings.
6 down arrow until you see FRONT PANEL, it should be set to [AUTO]
7 The selection should be Hilighted, Press ENTER to open the menu.
8 arrow down to select [ENABLE] and press enter.
9 Now goto the exit tab click the SAVE & EXIT option.
Your computer should now restart and boot into windows as normal.
to complete the setup you need to check/change a couple of settings.
1 open the CONTROL PANEL.
2 click on the hardware and sound option
3 at the bottom of the list Find the Realtek HD Audio Panel.
4 click on this option.
5 on the right of the display, you will see a graphic of the Audio connection sockets. Analog shows the rear panel. there will be a new set called FRONT Panel.
this isn't present if you don't do the BIOS change above.
6 there is a little yellow folder near the Analog channels.
7 click it and TICK the Disable front panel detection. then close it.
8 on the top right of the Audio Panel just below the EXIT X, you will see the text Device Advanced Settings underlined.
9 Click to open and check the dot is in the Mute rear output device when front headphone plugged in and not in the other one (the other one allows both channels to play sounds at the same time).
This is how i did mine hope it helps someone else, i'm not sure if this will work with laptops, i would suspect there will be something in the bios to this effect on many newer laptops.
NOTE not everyone will need to do the bios settings, you can tell easy enough once the driver has installed. open the audio panel and if there is no support for front panel or the yellow folder and you have no sound from you phones, you need to do the bios part.

Windows 7 Professional
Just a driver update solved...
I have a ECS A780GM-A motherboard and for me a simple driver update solved the problem in 7 Professional.
I've searched for the latest version of the audio driver for my motherboard in the ECS site and found this: http://www.ecsusa.com/ECSWebSite/Dow...aid=2&LanID=12, and it's referred to as "IDT High Definition Audio Driver".
After reboot, a new device appeared in the audio devices list, and, incredbly, this worked.

Life (and death)...
My life as a Malaysian doctor in the United States.
Monday, July 30, 2012
So, Kris is 36 weeks now. At her last OB checkup, she's already 2 cm dilated, ang 50% effaced. Uh oh. Getting close.
And so, I was naturally anxious when I saw M's name on my patient list today. She was my 10:30AM appointment, follow up of her prolactinoma.
When she walked into clinic, the first thing I said was, "I hope you're not going to bring me trouble..."
It was two years ago when I saw her for an 8:00AM appointment, when I got the call from my wife: I'm in labor, get your butt here.
And so, seeing her again today with us being so close to our due date, made me ansy. I carried my cellphone in my breast pocket, in case my wife called me again.
But no, thankfully, I did not get any urgent phonecalls. And as I sent M away and showed her the door, we both breathed a sigh of relief. She giggled as she wished me luck.
Another 4 weeks? I'll be surprised if we can last 2.

One of the things all docs dislike is the paperwork. It's a necessary evil; prescriptions, letters of medical necessity.
Of late though I think we're all seeing increasing cases of Medicare fraud. Or so I think. If they qualify, Medicare pays for their diabetic supplies. The glucometer, ever-so-expensive strips, lancets and all. Up to 3 tests a day for insulin users, more if necessary. And often, these things are obtained not directly from the pharmacy, but from 3rd party suppliers that are out-of-state.
Curiously enough in the last 6 months our clinic has seen more and more prescriptions from these companies, stating that our patient has requested to get supplies from them. Even more suspicious is getting 3-6 requests from different companies for our signature, for the SAME supplies, on the SAME patient. And some didn't even make sense- devices like back supports, heating pads. Things that have little to do with their diabetes.
And so sometime ago, on a hunch I began to call some patients up, asking if they really are wanting XXX supplies from YYY company. And invariably the answer is "No, I've never even heard of them", or "No I didn't ask for it, but they've been calling and bugging me".
Perchance these are honest clerical errors. But the pessimistic me thinks this is merely greedy companies trying to drain Medicare funds even more, probably contributing in a big way to medical expense here.
It's a matter I've reported to the administrators, but these faxes keep coming, and it's maddening. Human greed.
But, if nothing else, there is a silver lining to this. On a bad day when I feel that I need to vent, I've been known to call these suppliers, speak to the 'person in charge' and give them a piece of my mind. I've caught a few of them blatantly lying, like "We called Mr. X on this day" then in fact the patient denied vehemently talking to anyone. And sometimes threats of reporting them to the Medical Board quickly gets them to apologize and blame it on some misunderstanding. Ah, perks of the job.
But yes, be on the lookout- not all requests for medical supplies are real- beware!

Busy Weekend
Feeling productive! The in-laws came over for the weekend to hang out and help us get the rooms ready for the addition to the family. For one, we moved the office out from one of the bedrooms to the main floor. And we finally got Alli some big-girl furniture since we were going to need the crib for the baby.
And so, it was a nice family event. Even Allison helped clean up her room before we moved the furniture in!
We got some white furniture for her, to match the white trim and shelves already in her room. We got the Hailey Collection trundle bed from Costco- we were impressed by the simple yet cute design, and the quality of the bed. And, it was much cheaper than the furniture stores. But these things came in 4 back-breaking boxes. It look us two trips in my wife's SUV to bring everything back.
Assembly took about 2 hours, though at least the instructions were intelligible. And thank goodness for power tools!
After a busy morning, her room was ready. Right now, she is still sleeping soundly in her bed (and hasn't yet rolled off onto the carpet!).
And, her sister-to-be has her room set up too. This time, we're using the room next to ours to set up base for the baby. And with the office downstairs, we have another spare room upstairs for guests.
Only 5 weeks to go before our due date!

Worlds Apart
I'm oncall again this week. And as usual, we always have patients in the ICU, typically the post-cardiac surgery ones, but sometimes the occasional DKA.
Walking from the Main Wing to the East Wing of the hospital, I have to walk past the cheerful Starbucks store on the left, after which comes the waiting area for families. This is a modern area with numerous sofas, a couple of family-conference rooms, and is flanked by the neuro/medical ICU and the surgical ICU.
While I find the modern design inspiring, often, like today, walking past this area always tugs at my heartstrings, and reminds me to not complain about work and to be grateful. For, I often walk past hordes of families sitting, many sleeping, in the waiting area. Today, quite a few people were teary-eyed. Many looked exhausted. A woman was wailing while a man was consoling her.
It was pretty clear what was going on. Some critically ill patients. Perhaps some who were on the verge of passing. When there was little hope we doctors could provide anyway.
It tugs on the heartstrings, and even makes me feel a bit guilty, that I'm strolling from one unit to another carrying a mug of coffee, but just a mere few feet away, some families were receiving devastating news. Worlds apart.
And so I remind myself, even on a busy call week when I'm prone to complaining, that I have much to be thankful for.

Backyard Project
Finally, it's finished!
This year, one of our home projects was to expand on our backyard patio. We had some stone pavers put in along with a firepit and seating area for campfires and S'mores. Over the years we've had at least a dozen campfires each summer.
And this year, we decided to add to it by building to the other side, and to add a stone wall and a hammock for privacy. After a week of hard work (no, we had the landscapers do it!) it was finally done.
And, I'm particularly proud of the fact that I was able to install landscape lights on my own. No, not the solar ones, but the wired low-voltage ones. I've always wanted to light this area up, but was too stingy to have someone do it. And thankfully, Youtube has plenty of DIY videos to tell you how to do it. And it helps knowing that your neighbor is an ER doc so that if I was stupid enough to electrocute myself, he'd probably know how to revive me.
But no, I came out OK with all my fingers intact. Bring on summer!

Visionstate Conducts Advanced Sensor Research for Internet of Things Market
Edmonton, Alberta, September 26, 2016 – Visionstate Inc., a division of Visionstate Corp. (TSXV: VIS), today announced it has commenced an advanced research project in collaboration with the University of Alberta (U of A). Sensor technology will be integrated with the Company's proprietary WANDA smart device, an innovative smart device that monitors and reports on cleaning and maintenance activities in public spaces.
The research, funded in part through the non-profit MITACS program, is focused on sensors, which are embedded in restroom fixtures such as toilets, urinals, and faucets, to measure, in real time, their performance and operational efficiencies. The research will also focus on the communication protocol between Visionstate's WANDA device and the sensors themselves.
"The Internet of Things is poised to revolutionize facility management," says Visionstate President John Putters. "Sensors can collect data on operational performances that provide managers an improved method of monitoring the health of virtually any appliance or device. The analytics can then be used to predict maintenance schedules, potential device failures, and flag issues such as excessive water use."
The 12-month research project commenced in August 2016 and involves a team of U of A researchers from the computer science department. The team, led by a postdoctoral graduate, will research new sensor technology and the communication protocols that will enable sensors to be integrated with WANDA.
MITACS is a national, not-for-profit organization that has designed and delivered research and training programs in Canada for 15 years. Working with 60 universities, thousands of companies, and both federal and provincial governments, MITACS builds partnerships that support industrial and social innovation in Canada.
"The potential for this technology is enormous," Putters adds. "Consider the implications of having access to data that tells you certain components of an appliance, such as a toilet, will need replacing after a certain number of uses, or will require specific maintenance activities in the future based on past usage patterns. This ability to talk and communicate with devices is the future in terms of sustainability and operational efficiency, especially water sustainability."
The research project and sensor technology is the next evolution of Visionstate's WANDA product, which has been installed in hospitals, airports, shopping centres and other public buildings across North America. WANDA replaces antiquated paper-based systems for managing and monitoring cleaning activities and provides detailed analytics to facility managers on cleaning histories, responses to public alerts and supply usage to name a few.
WANDA has proven to be a valuable addition to facilities that use the device to monitor restroom maintenance and cleaning activities. Detailed reports and analytics are accessible through a content management system and provide insight on cleaning activities, supply usage and responses to alerts sent by the public through the WANDA device. By simply installing WANDA it's proven that the public's perception of the facility's commitment to cleanliness increases dramatically.
About Visionstate Inc.
Visionstate Inc., a division of Visionstate Corp (TSX Venture: VIS) is the leader in interactive technology software that connects the world with enhanced guest services in public spaces. Since its first installation in 2005, Visionstate has grown to see its software in buildings throughout Canada and the United States. By engaging customers throughout a facility, from touchscreen directories to mobile applications to cleaning management software, Visionstate adds to a building's experience with its original interactive solutions.

Want to know what Malaika told to the lawyer about divorce
|source via:- google search, what to know what Malaika told the lawyer about their divorce with Arbaaz khan
What you don't know is who is Malaika's divorce lawyer and what she spoke to her when they met behind closed doors for a long chat.
The lawyer in question is Ms Vandana Shah, who wrote the book Ex-Files in 2014.
Malaika had clear pointers for her lawyer.
1. I want to divorce Arbaaz because our marriage has failed to give me any financial stability.
2. My husband and his family want that I start leading a simple and domestic life, which I will not.
3. I shall never forbid my son from meeting his father after the divorce, but I should get his custody at any cost whatsoever.
The reason after a so long marriage and after that divorce is not still properly known.

Property Description
Back on the Market. Buyer did not perform. Large 8,000 sqft lot with tons of potential, in a neighborhood with pride of ownership. This property is located in the fastest growing neighborhoods, commonly referred to as ARCADIA LITE. More importantly, it is close to restaurants, shopping, downtown & the airport. The front and back yards have been cleared out, and the inside is clean with a fresh coat of new paint. Tile or vinyl flooring in all rooms, separate living and dining areas, inside laundry hookups, and detached storage behind the carport... this is a great cozy starter house, as-is. Or, think of the potential of converting to a 3bed/2bath house with comparable properties in the $320k price range. Flip it or Move in... Both are a win!

What do you get when you combine a pair of artists with and fresh flowers and a bit of rock-and-roll aesthetic? Steven Bruce Design, a floral design company that believes no home, restaurant, retail venue, gallery, or special event can't be jacked up with some truly memorable arrangements.
Owned by Melissa and Steve Bruce, Steven Bruce Design is the talent behind original floral décor for everything from the Guggenheim to the Vera Wang flagship store and Saks Fifth Avenue. They've also added a dash of elegance and irreverence to hundreds of weddings, and have been splashed across the pages of Well Wed, New York Magazine, Modern Bride, Vogue, Interior Design, and more.
The couple, who lives and co-designs in Stone Ridge, New York, looks to the country landscape for ongoing inspiration, as well as to music and abstract art. Melissa explains, "For Steve, inspiration often comes from jazz and other music. For me, it comes from dreams or visions of sorts." Melissa also notes that rustic, eco-chic, and Victorian garden are currently the big buzzwords in floral design, and you'll find lots of examples on their brimming-with-inspiration blog and Pinterest page.
Melissa and Steve are known for their unique vessels—English cloches (they were using them years before they became trendy) to cement spheres, recycled tires, burlap sacks, rusted aluminum cans, and even . . . figure skates? Melissa laughs. "You can't reinvent the wheel in terms of how much water and flowers something will hold," she says. "And we really like found objects. Barbed wire, rubber, aluminum—we can make sculptural art with these and flowers."
It's a striking mix of the urban and natural, hard and soft. While the couple designs plenty of traditional weddings and events, some of their favorite projects have included a vintage-carnival-themed wedding; a Victorian-inspired bride's bouquet that mimics lace; a politically themed diorama for the Team Love Raven House gallery in New Paltz, New York; and a harvest arrangement that puts the spotlight on local fruits and vegetables. Here are a few of Melissa's pro tips for putting together your own original arrangements:
1. If you're on a budget, use items other than flowers to take up some of the space. Melissa says, "I don't like to be too cliché, so I wouldn't say, 'Get a pumpkin,' but I'd go to a local farm and get tomatoes on the vine, beans, and gourds, and cut colorful leaves and branches, like bittersweet." (Bonus tip: if you use branches, smack the bottoms with a hammer to open them up. This allows water to be sucked in, making the branch last longer.)
2. Look to nature for unusual color combinations. A meadow of wildflowers, a woodland path strewn with leaves, and even a butterfly or other multihued insect will give you tons of ideas for unforgettable combos.
3. Check your local farm or flower show for in-season flowers—Melissa loves marigolds and dahlias for early fall.
4. Use your favorite containers, not just vases, as vessels. Melissa and Steve especially enjoy repurposing outdoor items, like terra-cotta garden containers, inside the home.

Oscar Gonzales — the best chef who ever worked at my restaurant — had hands so big we named him Wheat Meat Mitts because of his flair for making wheat meat, or seitan (SAY-tan) by hand.
Oscar would combine pounds of whole wheat bread flour with water in the bread mixer and knead the dough until the gluten (protein) strands became tough and elastic. Then he'd knead the mass again in the sink under running water to wash away the bran, germ and everything starchy except raw gluten, another name for seitan.


text: DiGiCo spent more than a decade working with sound designers to develop a software package specific to live theatre sound reinforcement. Those efforts landed the SD7T console on many Broadway and West End productions. Now, that software is available as SD9T and SD10T versions, for the SD9 and SD10 consoles, respectively. Judges point to how the software specifically addresses issues of imaging as performers move around the stage, with one noting, "This software makes the SD9 and SD10 equal to the SD7 in programming capabilities," says one judge. "This software also makes these boards the absolute best choice for a desk for anyone mixing theatre at almost any budget." Another judge hails the Players function, which allows the sound engineer to deal more easily with cast changes. "DiGiCo has now officially rocked my world."

WASHINGTON — A Washington traveler returned recently from Europe disappointed that she couldn't spot any stores with signs indicating they would accept the only international charge card she was carrying. What she didn't realize is that a favorite charge card may go by different names abroad.
With Americans traveling to Europe in record numbers this summer, many of them in search of shopping bargains, it's helpful to know what cards to take and when to use them to your best advantage.

France Bans the Words Facebook and Twitter
Posted: 07:48AM
Author: Tyrium
France announced that it has banned on-air announcers from using the words "Facebook" and "Twitter" among others. The thinking towards this decision, while seemingly inane, is actually the opposite. Intellectuals are the ones who came up with the ban, and for a seemingly good reason. Basically, the French believe that the websites are using the endorsement of televised personalities in order to gain free advertising, which in turn leads to more endorsement and even more free advertising. The belief stands that this is a cycle which grants social networking sites unlimited marketing at almost no cost to themselves as long as they remain free. Thus, the French have banned these names on-air to combat the sites' ever-growing influence. However, this is something you'll have to make up your own mind about, not something backed with concrete facts.

GOMBE, Nigeria (Reuters) - A car bomb went off near a stadium in the northeastern Nigerian city of Gombe on Monday, a few minutes after President Goodluck Jonathan left a party rally there.
A Reuters photographer said the bomb exploded about 200 meters (220 yards) from the stadium, engulfing the car in flames and killing at least one bystander and wounding seven.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility, although suspicion is likely to fall on Islamist militant group Boko Haram, which has attacked Gombe several times. On Sunday a suicide bombing near a mosque in the market area there killed five people and wounded eight.
Nigeria is due to hold presidential elections on Feb. 14, pitting the ruling People's Democratic Party's Jonathan against former military ruler Muhammadu Buhari for the opposition All Progressives Congress.
Both candidates are wrapping up their campaigns for what is expected to be the most closely fought election since the end of military rule in 1999.

WASHINGTON -- The Bush administration has agreed to remove almost all the 250,000 names on a secret list of aliens considered ideologically unacceptable to enter the United States, ending a 40-year practice that has its roots in the McCarthy era.
The action is largely symbolic because a revision of the immigration law last year barred the State Department from excluding an individual because of beliefs, statements or political associations that would be protected under the Constitution for U.S. citizens.
Under last year's law, individuals on the list would have had to apply to have their names removed.
But the measure approved 18-0 by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Wednesday would require the State Department to take the initiative in purging the list.

Health and Safety
The welfare, health and safety of all members of the ACO, as well as any members of the public who visit our units, should be considered as the highest priority for any activity, however it is all too easy for H & S to be pushed to the back of peoples minds.
It is therefore important that the H & S team provide training and support to all ACO units, to allow them to understand the risks involved in the wide variety of activities we undertake on such a regular basis.
From the day to day, activities at every unit, through Squadron ran Adventure Training Exercises, to major events such as the Regional Training Day there will always be some activity which could, and sadly, sometimes does go wrong.
By considering the nature of all of these activities, along with the way in which it is intended they be carried out, Staff and Senior cadets can assess the likelihood of an incident, in relation to its potential severity, and decide whether there is any need to make particular arrangements for the task, to either reduce the risk to an acceptable level, or to revise the way in which it is to be carried out. This "Risk Assessment" is generally common sense, but to ensure we being competent and professional, we simply need to record our actions.
The aim should be to allow all activities to be undertaken in a safe manner, but still allow cadets to "Venture Adventure".

You can have fun a lot of different ways in a Senior RV Park. A friend asked where we got our propane and I told him Tractor Barrel. His face squeezed up while he was trying to figure out the connection between propane and Hash-brown casserole.
I am in that time, after someone passes, in which the dirges are done, the cadence still, the calls, cards and casseroles quit coming and the work of grieving begins in earnest. Usually when you are alone with your thoughts. Maybe passing in public like a scar covered by a shirt sleeve. When the memories of that person light, like sparrows flitting amongst the leaves and grass vying for your attention. Many at once. A handwritten note, a saying, using her favorite frying pan which is exactly why you wanted it. That last hug of tiny frail bones upon which all of your love hung precipitously, defying gravity and inevitability. Until it didn't.
It is a time when your ship has stopped in the doldrums and there are no waves or ripples or no one, and nothing moves except your mind. You feel paralyzed. Your length of stillness unrelated to anything you have done or should've done but just because it has and will always happen. Staying longer or shorter has no mathematical relation to the intensity of your love. There is no logic here. No rules. Your hopes vigilantly pinned as telltales on the sail for any wisp of wind. And there you sit until you are done. Maybe sooner, or maybe later, but some unseen force will lift you out. It is this that you wait for, when that endless stillness shrinks from days or hours to moments. When the sadness doesn't take your breath away. When your vessel is lifted and your pain and sadness are carried off by the wind. That will bring the moments once again. I think you know what I mean, because such is love when someone dies.
What's going on down here?
Karen and I have been driving down I-75 to Florida for most of our lives. But it's just been recently that I've formed the judgement that Southern Georgians are perverts after reading their billboards. There's research on that.
All along I-75 in southern Georgia are "spas". These are not your Swedish Grandmothers spas. We know that SPA is a code word. There's the Green Spa, the No. 1 Spa, the Peach Spa, and on and on. Then of course you'll need to stop at "Loves" to fuel up your spark plug, or in my case, diesel, you have a glow plug. I kinda like that. Then you see "Adcock Pecans". Code word. And you'll see the little town called "Sparks". And in the middle of this debauchery you'll see two Jesus billboards (Jesi?). Because one is not enough for the spawn of Satan. Don't even get me started on "Stuckeys" Restaurant. And then I notice a billboard for an AG Expo and I think 'Dammit they're into the vegetables'. About this time I'm thinking Karen and I should check out southern Georgia retirement communities. But then here come the Adult stores. An Adult Superstore "Central" so I'm thinking they have all points of the compass covered now. By the time I see the "Active Adult Community" I raise my fists and yell "I'M ALL IN DAMMIT I'M IN!!!"
Karen looks at me: "What?"
"Nothing" I say.
I can barely drive.
And I'm glad Tennessee is next and not Arkansas.
It's About Time
My Mom has been at Vista Springs for some time now. We see her once a week and I feel sad and guilty when I go to see her, and sad and guilty when I leave. I think about her quality of life and am not sure it even applies. I know they do take care of her so I'm grateful that's not a concern. She turned 91 this summer and now she sleeps about 22 hours a day. It's hard now to carry on conversations. Her memory continues to slip so we try to tap into her long term memory by talking about older times and stories. We show her pics on our phones or a cartoon I stole on line.
Since Dad died years ago, she always said she missed being touched. That's when Karen and I decided to give her two geriatric gift massages every year for Christmas. So when we'd visit, I would remember this and rub her head, arm or back which reminded me just how tiny and frail she is now. But that of course just puts her to sleep. Now I'll sit on the couch with my arm around her shoulders and have her rub my arm. I'm really proud of this opportunistic self serving strategy. This keeps her awake for a while longer. When we're getting ready to go I'll rub her arms or back so she'll go to sleep and is less likely to cry when we leave.
I have seen a lot of poignant moments at Vista Springs. The seven or so ladies in Moms "pod" take care of each other. It's touching. There was an English woman there that hated my guts. She'd give me the stink eye from across the room or assail my integrity and reputation as I walked by. Sometimes I didn't even understand the English phrases of her insults. She must've met Bad Santa many years ago.
I never heard Mom's last roommate say a word. Her short silver hair was always askew and her eyes were rimmed red as though from tears. She always looked terribly sad which I could intuitively understand. Her husband Tom was always by her side. As faithful as the sunrise. I was in the hallway waiting for Mom one time when I saw them sitting side by side looking out the bedroom window at an unremarkable field. The Venetian blinds were down but angled open letting in the horizontal light that revealed only their silhouettes. She on the right with her unkempt hair and Tom on her left with no hair. I wondered what they were thinking. Was she remembering her wedding? Her children? A moment of intimacy or romance? Or was her mind a Picasso canvas of jumbled thoughts and images? Was he sleeping or thinking about life without her or how much he loved her? Then I saw his right hand raise and rest on her forearm as though to make sure she was still there. A powerfully intimate moment for such a simple gesture which made me ashamed I was watching. By the time Mom had returned I had tears in my eyes as I clenched my molars into dust as though that would stem the flow. This is what I do, why my masseter jaw muscles are so pronounced. This couple was living the vow of "for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part". She was gone shortly after that and I hope that someone would be there when her husband Tom needs it the most.
I've told Karen that I could never live like that. Not that I remotely expect to live that long. A friend once said regarding an impossibility "the chances are slim to none and slim just left town". All of this has made me wonder about the impressive strides in medicine today. But no matter how advanced we get, there are no procedures or pills to alleviate the humiliation of sliding into incompetence or incontinence. Nothing to give you back that human dignity. It's mean and it's ugly.
I keep trying to convince myself that this "Mom stuff" is not about me. On the other hand, yes it is. I'm 62 now and so is Karen. It's about all of my boomer friends and family. We are dealing with this more and more in our lives and I know others have gone through this already but it's only novel when it happens to you.
At our age our survivability is a function of genetics and life style and fortune. I'm pretty sure few of us have illusions about this now. So what can we do as we move inch by inch? How do we maintain an enriched quality of life?
Not to long ago I read that studies showed that simple thoughts of being grateful were effective in elevating our spirits. This sure is true for me. It changes the way I think. It makes me humble. I have to remember this.
I have to be more Zen. Staying in the moment. Which takes a lot of training and discipline. It means not borrowing trouble from the future or the past. It means being optimistic against all odds. To be hopeful, which is the oxygen we breathe during difficult and tragic times. Take away hope and we can suffocate.
But most of all it means managing my expectations. None of the above are reflexive for me. I can't be good at all of this all the time. I have to forgive myself. Again and again and again. And again for getting old. And remember that the good thing about the future is it starts again tomorrow.
Time-Out Tim Home Tip
I figured out that the leak in our basement was coming from the AC drainage pipe. The installers had forgotten to seal the joints with PVC glue. Karen and I have a fairly sophisticated security system in basement. It's called Boxes of All the Crap We Have Accumulated in a Life Time That We Were To Lazy Organize. It's an effective deterrent to any would be intruders since we imagined they would see it and mutter "No effing way!". We did need an alarm since we would hear clunking and crashing and loud run-on sentences of swear words. But the problem was in order to shut off that security system, it meant moving the boxes and cleaning by God. The water was below the boxes so of course they were wet and things fell out and it was a huge mess. When I have a liquid mess in the garage, I usually pour kitty litter on it, it absorbs it all and sweeps up nicely. I decided to use our kitty litter in the basement to do the same. Only this litter is the kind that chunks together when wet which was never a good idea but I thought I was being really bright and never considered using towels like a normal human being. I liberally poured on the chunky litter in the 6×6 wet area. The chunky litter absorbed the wet but became glued to the floor and was impossible to sweep up. It had to be scraped up. I had to go to the garage and get my ICE SCRAPER. I tried the SNOW SHOVEL but that didn't seem to as work well. Not only did the litter stick to the floor, but it stuck to my shoes. Well, my flip flops. The more the soles accumulated litter, the slicker it became and my flip flops looked like snow shoes. Several times I slipped into my Michael Jackson Thriller routine, ultimately saving myself. I remained confident that at 61, my stealthy cat-like reflexes would keep me from falling down. I tried to clean off my flip flops but the litter was glued to the bottom so I changed to my outdoor clogs, which of course were no better. The creases filled with litter and became slippery and snow shoey. There is only so much scraping and slipping a man can do without getting pissed and of course you know I was well on my way. Becoming impatient never helped me complete any work and in fact, more often made more work. At this point I went in to a full fledged slip seizure with arms and legs flailing and boxes and poles flying and then my foot came down on the side of the open kitty litter box catapulting chunks of cat poop and pee clods all over me, my feet and the room. That's when the well preserved Johnides artifacts started flying across the room. In all, it took my the better part of three hours to clean up a one hour mess. All because I am not the sharpest chunk in the box. Tip: don't use chunky litter to clean up liquids.
I bought some chrome door side molding for my truck from an online source at the end of March. And I'll never buy from them again. They sent me the wrong parts because the molding is about 4 inches longer than the passenger door. The directions said you have to wait until 70 degree weather to apply the moldings, which in Michigan already exceeded their 30 day return policy. They have refused to exchange the parts. It occurred to me that anyone who buys anything in the winter that requires 70 degree temps may also be screwed by these shysters.
I was fantasizing about taking them to court in Ingham County so they'd have to pay a lawyer which would exceed the cost of the parts that I can't use. Ever. But I'm pretty sure the Judge would throw out the case.
"Mr. Johnides, it is your responsibility as a consumer to assume responsibility for what you are buying and you assume that risk when you purchase something on the market. We call this "In Flagrante Delicto".
Defense Attorney: "No your honor, that's not it.
Judge: "You're right Counsel. It's 'E Pluribus Unum' ."
Defense Attorney: "Ah, no your honor."
"Carpe Diem."
" It has to be 'Manage a Tois'."
"I'm pretty sure that's French your honor."
" Mucho Painess Speculum Largoso? "
"I don't even know what that means your honor. It might be a spell from Harry Potter."
The clerk approaches the bench and whispers to the judge.
Judge: "Yes. Yes. That's it. "Caveat Emperor", which means Mr. Johnides, your case is dissed."
I look at pictures of young people with coordinated belt and shoes, layers of shirts and coats, all the trendy accoutrements and remember my youth, when I felt very cool if I could string together two possum pelts and a splash of English Leather.
Adventures with Tool Time Out Tim.
In Wmstn, I try to do anything requiring a functioning brain before noon. Largely because later in the day I'm getting tired and irritable. That's when I get really tired of the obnoxious stupid things messing with me. Not that I take it personally though. It's when I'm pissed that I didn't take out those last two nails on a board or the jagged metal plaster corner bead, that snags my shirt or pants or tool cord that I'm working with and I then have to dick around trying to get free. Or I can deeply impale my forehead on the meanest eighty year old board in the house that the crease becomes my new pencil holder. It's when the extension cords become this complicated paradox of tangles. It's a time when special things happen.
When the kids were young, we took then to oodles of fairs, carnivals and amusement parks. I would play those games of chance to win that big-ass Teddy bear. Throwing the ring onto the bottle tops. Pitching to knock off those obvious clowns. Using the glass encased hydraulic shovel to lift and drop the coveted prizes into the drawer. I wanted to be that bad ass alpha guy walking around strutting his male prowess; showing off that huge stuffed animal. "Yeah baby! I AM a provider!" But did I ever win those prizes? Hell no.
But in Wmstn in the late afternoon there is some funky shit going down. I become a master of the paranormal, Bob Villa on steroids. Or Norm the Crack Master. I deploy my latent Jedi skills, mystically defying all odds and decimating statistical probabilities. When I have that last flat head screw, perfect for the job on the second floor, I can drop it 8-10 feet and through the tiniest crevasse in the wall or floor, never to be retrieved. I can drop my hammer from a second story ladder, that performs the most complicated gymnastic tumbles, bounces and twists through cords and boards to eventually rest two floors down on the basement floor. I throw a piece of scrap wood behind my back and smash the only light bulb on the table. A board on the saw table will mysteriously move so that I cut it one foot shorter than what I needed. Or when I'm not looking, the miter saw rotates 45 degrees cutting an inverted angle, the opposite of what is needed. I make tools disappear before my eyes, or levitate and fly at the speed of light across the room.
It becomes a spiritual enclave that knows no earthly bounds nor yields to laws of physics. Where all inanimate objects become alive. I am Mickey the Wizard in Fantasia. Except these animated bundles of matter do not do the dishes or my bidding, instead acting of their own accord, despite my constant swearing. And I morph into the artistically uncouth poet, Beelzebub, and effortlessly string together paragraphs of the obscene that would make Linda Blair blush. And the innocent pedestrians who pass by the open windows and doors are captive to my poetry reading. An incendiary barrage of ear lobe frying expletives. I expect, any day, to see extra crossing guards directing children away from the haunted Swearing House at 302 E. Grand River.
It's true. This really truly happens. And then I know it's time to go home.
I was to meet a builder at 9a over at the Williamston house today so we could get started moving the stairs. I got there about 815a and decided I better head over to McDonalds to use the bathroom before he arrived. When I arrived, the parking lot was full which was a little discouraging. Maybe it was Senior Day I thought. Sure enough, when I went in, there were Seniors everywhere. Knowing their penchant for bathroom hoarding, I wasn't optimistic. I went into the Men's room and was amazed there was no one. Locking doors in bathrooms is just a reflex from growing up with five sibs. If it wasn't locked, some smart ass would open the door and walk away. Then you had to do the penguin across the floor to close the door again. So of course I locked the stall door. When I went to leave, the door wouldn't open. I turned the handle this way and that and nothing. I pressed the lock button as though that might help and it got stuck inside the handle. I turned it several more times. I started lifting and banging at the door since pounding the shit out of things always seems to help. I looked at the door and thought "I'm going to McGyver the shit out of this". I checked the door hinge pins to see if I could pop them out but the bottom hole was the size of a pinhole. The physical laws of the universe didn't stop me from thinking I could fit one of my keys in there despite the fact they were twice the size of hole. No luck. I got out a credit card and tried to jimmy the lock just like Jack Bauer. It didn't work. I thought it would be embarrassing to call the McDonalds I was stuck at to ask to be rescued from the bathroom stall but I had to get over to the house to meet the builder. Then I remembered my phone was in my car. Throughout this time no one had come into the bathroom. I won the Latrine Lottery on Senior Day no less. There was a space under the door and I was measuring it in my mind and then looking at my middle girth and of course I thought I could fit under the door. And of course that would be when someone came in. Now there is nothing appealing about getting your body down on the pissy floor of a stall at McDonalds. It would give some dry heaves. But I could see no other way out. I was wearing my working bibs so I had to try it. I laid down on my back and slid my head through and started shimmying on the bathroom floor. I got past my chest, and kept squeezing and sucking in my stomach and managed to get right to the middle where my pens and reading glasses were. But on the outside of those pockets is a stupid button so you can snap the pocket shut. So when I decided this strategy was not going to work I tried to back out. But the bottom of the door was sticking on one of the pocket buttons held in place by my glasses and pens. So I was stuck by that damn button. And worst, I couldn't get my arms up through the bottom of the door and put my hands through to move the button. So I Iaid on the floor contemplating giving up. But then I tried to puff out my chest or suck it in. I could imagine the conversation I could've had with a bathroom patron as I lay on the floor, part of my torso sticking out underneath the door. But I decided that I would act like I was passed out or dead, lying still with my eyes closed. They would wonder what happened but I didn't care because I would be passed out or dead. When the paramedics got there I would come to and ask what had happened. But then I would be taken out on a stretcher and then to the hospital where I would spend the afternoon. At that point, no one was getting into the stall until I got out. Then I thought about that really fat Senior with really loose bowels coming in and having to use the stall. I had visions of having to be rescued by the Fire Department which of course would end up somehow on the Internet. At this point I was getting pissed off (pun) and started flailing my legs back and forth and lifting up my hips in a wild frantic effort to move my torso and get that damn button unstuck. Finally it worked and still no one had come in that bathroom. I got up off the floor and looked around the ceiling because I was sure this was being filmed by some sick bastard. At this point I had no idea what I was going to do. I rubbed my pockets again, trying to find some McGyver material and then I felt my phone that had slid sideways in my pocket. That's why I didn't feel it. I asked Siri to find the McDonalds in Williamston and pressed the call button. A young girl answered.
"Hi, I'm stuck in the Men's bathroom."
"I'm at your McDonalds and I'm stuck in the bathroom because the door is locked and will not open."
"Oh geez."
"Can you tell your manager so he can rescue me?"
"Of course!!"
Some kid comes in the bathroom.
"Are you stuck in there?"
"Yes, I'm STUCK in here. Can you get me a screw driver, a hammer and Allen wrenches so I can try and get out of here?" By now it was about 855a.
He came back and slid the tools under the door. I took off the door handle and opened the door. I left everything on the floor, handed the kid my business card and told him I expected his manager to call me and I wanted cheeseburgers for a year.
They still haven't called.
Quote challenge d3
"If you ask me what I came in this life to do, I, an artist, will tell you: I came to live out loud." – Emile Zola, French writer
Living out loud can mean many things. I choose to interpret this quote as having many interests and trying and learning as much as possible in the brief time we call our life. It also means embracing who you are; what you think and feel, your experiences whether sadness, happiness, travails and overcoming them, or victories. To go through them, not around them. Pain and happiness mean we are alive. And whether you consider yourself an artist or not, sharing your experiences with others. From my religious youth, I chose to embrace the concept of witnessing what it is like to be human and eschew shame in doing so. Perhaps to the chagrin of my family and friends. It means being interested in many things. Life should be a fertile endless field where you can plant as much as you want of anything you choose. But I suppose the challenge is to tend the field, to maintain some sort of balance which is easier said than done. We all cannot or will not be recognized for our creative endeavors. But maybe the true value lies not in the accolades from outside but the insights we absorb on the inside. And whether we can use those insights and experiences to comfort and reassure to others that they are not alone. Because ultimately, this is what we fear the most. To me, this is living out loud.

This year marked the release of the newest Star Trek film as well as the franchise's 50th anniversary. What a perfect time to release a Star Trek-themed makeup collection! While I don't have the funds to buy the collection nor the influence to get free samples, I can still talk at length about it!
MAC's hella sparkly collection consists of a lot of vibrant golds, pinks, purples, blues, and greens. You can create some really cool spacey-wacey looks, as they've demonstrated on their website, or you can use the colour scheme in your everyday looks. The collection is quite vast, so I'll only be focusing on some select items but you can check out the full collection on the MAC website.
Trip The Light Fantastic Powders, $39.50 CAD
From left to right: Luna Luster, Strange New Worlds, Highly Illogical
These beautiful pearly powders have a wide range of uses for a number of different skin tones. They could be used as a sparkly powder, highlighter, or bronzer. I would personally use Highly Illogical to highlight tf out of my cheekbones. Here is a swatch on light skin from Revelist, and here is a swatch on dark skin from Fancieland.
Pressed Pigment Eye Shadow, $27.50 CAD
From left to right: To Boldly Go, Midnight, Bird of Prey, The Naked Time
I think a lot of the promo photos of this collection is a little over-saturated. This photo from Ommorphia Beauty Bar seems to be one of the more accurate photos of all four colours. These pigments are really beautiful and work really well with one another. I think these colours would work really well on dark skin as well as light, especially when applied wet.
Lipstick, $22.50 CAD
From left to right: The Enemy Within, LLAP, Klingiton, Where No Man Has Gone Before
I'm kind of in love with The Enemy Within. Fancieland's swatch shows how beautifully vibrant it is on her skin and I just want to be a golden goddess. (She also swatched the lip glosses which I won't be talking about here because I'm not really a gloss girl.) All four shades seem extremely flattering with glints of sparkle. LLAP is also a beautiful champagne-coloured shimmer that would complement most skin tones.
Nail Lacquer, $16.50 CAD
From left to right: Skin of Evil, Holladeck, Enterprise
My experience with MAC nail lacquers has been very positive. Quick drying, very opaque (often only needing one coat), and long-lasting. I would love to add a few more MAC colours to my nail collection. Holladeck and Enterprise seem to be very shimmery opaque metallics, whereas Skin of Evil is an olive-coloured chunky glitter that can be worn alone or over top another colour. (Skin of Evil on top of Holladeck would give some serious Loki vibes but woops, wrong fandom!)
Will you be picking up anything from this collection? What's your favourite?

O'Farrell to future-proof rail corridor
The NSW government plans to set aside a new transport corridor in Sydney's growing north-west which could connect the planned $8.5 billion North West Rail Link to the city's rail network in a continuous loop.
Following public consultation, one corridor will be selected and rezoned to protect the corridor for future transport use. It will not be acquired until a specific project is approved.
"The NSW government is determined to future-proof north-west Sydney's public transport options," Mr O'Farrell said. "More than 200,000 people will move into the north-west growth centre over the next 25 to 30 years – that's around 70,000 new houses in the Riverstone, Schofields and Marsden Park areas."
The Coalition is not proposing to extend the North West Rail Link, but both potential corridors meet the Richmond line, which is part of the western branch of Sydney's City-Rail network and runs from Blacktown to Richmond, 65 kilometres from the city.
The discussion paper says the route of the corridor is being designed to accommodate "a range of feasible modes including heavy rail, bus or light rail". The mode of transport will be considered as part of its 20-year transport master plan.
A heavy rail link to the Richmond line would allow train commuters to travel in a loop between Sydney, the north-west and Parramatta.
The Epping-to-Parramatta rail line, which is backed by $2.1 billion in funds the federal government is refusing to divert to the O'Farrell government's preferred North West Rail Link, would complete the loop.
Infrastructure Partnerships Australia chief executive Brendan Lyon said: "Protecting a corridor between the North West Rail Link and the Richmond line is a sensible step, because it allows for completion of a continuous loop, connecting Sydney, the north-west and back through Parramatta. One of the reasons Sydney's transport network has fallen so far behind is because the state hasn't taken a long-run view of Sydney's development and growth and ensured that motorway, utility and rail corridors have been set aside for the future.
"Protecting future land corridors is much more cost effective and it forces an upfront consideration of land use planning and the infrastructure that's needed to support economic and residential centres."
One of the corridors would run west for 6.8 kilometres, crossing the Richmond line at Schofields station and continuing on to Marsden Park.
The other would run 3.3 kilometres north-west to meet the Richmond line, south of Riverstone station.
Bob Nanva, the national secretary of the Rail, Tram and Bus Union, said it was "vitally important that the government ensures the public captures the increased land value in this corridor, not just property developers".
"This is a great opportunity to encourage transport-based development and plough the proceeds back into track upgrades and increased train services," Mr Nanva said.
"The state government must ensure the public are the winners, not property speculators."
The government is seeking submissions on its proposal until May 18.

Dee Dee Myers Quotes About HouseQuotes about: House
On the day I started college in 1979, no woman had ever been on the United States Supreme Court or served as the Speaker of the House. None had been an astronaut or the solo anchor of a network evening news broadcast. Not one had been president of an Ivy League college or run a serious campaign for president.
When I became White House press secretary, there were other limitations that were thrust upon me. Bill Clinton was under pressure to appoint women to visible positions. I was 31, I'd never worked in Washington. Was I ready for this large and visible job? Still he wanted the credit. So he gave me the job but diminished the job.
When I first started working in politics, as a junior aide on Walter Mondale's 1984 presidential campaign, it never occurred to me that I would one day work in the White House. There were plenty of women among the volunteers who stuffed envelopes and walked precincts. But there were fewer and fewer on each successive level of influence and access.
When I joined Bill Clinton's start-up presidential campaign in 1991, I was confident that women would play an ever more important role, but I never gave a minute's thought to what would happen if we won. When we did - and I became the first woman to serve as White House press secretary - it changed my life. But it didn't change the world.
You as the press secretary have to protect the president's interests and the White House's interests more broadly. And a lot of people inside the White House, as you learned, sometimes with painful experience, have competing agendas, have differing points of view, have priorities they're trying to protect.
