The decision to pursue legal action while grieving the loss of a loved one can be very difficult. However, time limits apply to wrongful death claims just as they do other types of lawsuits. The compensation that you can receive will not make things right, but it can offset the financial burden that your family faces now and in the years to come, resulting from your loss. The compassionate Madison wrongful death attorneys of Boller & Vaughan are here to help you and your family during this difficult time.
The Nature of Wrongful Death
A wrongful death lawsuit is a civil suit, not a criminal case. The purpose of wrongful death is to compensate the loved ones and estate of the decedent for their losses. Wrongful death laws were not designed to punish the responsible party, although in some rare cases punitive damages may be available.
Wrongful death is very different than a murder case. You will not need to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, nor will you have a need to prove intent. You merely need to prove that someone else's negligence caused your loved one's death.
Wrongful Death Compensation
The untimely death of a loved one can create a significant financial burden on a family both in the immediate aftermath and in the long term. If the decedent suffered serious injuries or illness prior to death, you may have already been faced with high medical bills and the loss of your loved one's income.
Wrongful death compensation can pay for these medial bills, and replace your loved one's lost income. You may also be entitled to compensation for the contributions your loved one would have made in the future including monetary contributions and services such as childcare and running the household. Certain family members can receive a limited amount of compensation for loss of society and companionship.
If you have lost a loved one due to someone else's negligence or intentional misconduct, please call the Madison wrongful death attorneys of Boller & Vaughan at (608) 268-0268 or submit an online questionnaire. Your initial consultation with our Wisconsin lawyers is free of charge and if we agree to handle your case, we will work on a contingent fee basis, which means we get paid for our services only if there is a monetary recovery of funds. In many cases, a personal injury lawsuit must be filed before an applicable expiration date, known as a statute of limitations. Please call right away to ensure that you do not waive your right to possible compensation.

text: Maggie is volunteering with one of her classes clearing burdock in a local neighborhood. They go every other Sunday for a few hours and get extra credit points for going. The burdock was brought to the neighborhood as an ornamental plant and took over the neighborhood. They have been clearing a field. Maggie is another one of my quiet kids. I am hoping that she will make a friend when she volunteers. She says that they cut the burdock down separately and don't have conversations while they are there. When I drop her off at the school to go, we get there early and she does go over and talk to the other students that are waiting. It is OK with me if she and William are quieter ones, but they will miss a lot of life if they don't ever talk to anyone. I had asked Maggie to join a club this semester. College isn't just about the classes but about making a friend and about going to the games or a play or out for pizza or to a party or to something. She said that this semester she couldn't join a club because she has too many classes.

2010: Year in Review
Marcus Lovitt looks at the culinary trends of 2010.
2010 was all about cheap eats. So called 'B-class gourmet' dishes became a fixture on Japanese TV screens, McDonalds Japan enjoyed record profits and shoppers bought their food in bulk from such places as Costco and Niku no Hanamasa. The reason? Japan's ongoing economic woes. A torrent of bad news on the economic front (falling prices, massive government debt, a rapidly aging population) put The Fear into consumers. Put simply, nobody was willing to spend more than necessary eating out or at the supermarket.
Perhaps its to be expected that amidst all of this doom and gloom, the fantasy of eating at a Michelin-starred restaurant had enormous popular appeal. Japanese variety shows boasted that Tokyo has the most Michelin-starred, together with the most three-star-rated restaurants in the world. Needless to say, few of those watching at home could actually afford to patronize them, but their very existence was a point of pride.
What Japanese could afford were little luxuries such as Lawson's Premium Roll Cake. Convenience store patisserie items were big news this year – the three big chains (Lawsons, FamilyMart and Seven Eleven) figuring that there was still money to be made in pre-packaged sweets.
Conversely, another bright spot for manufacturers were healthy and/or low-calorie products. This was particularly evident in the drinks market where products like black tea and non-alcoholic beer increased their share of the market.
Here's our take on 2010, and our forecast for the coming year:
Our Top Japanese culinary trends for 2010
- Raayu, that spicy red oil you drizzle over ramen and gyoza, hit the big time in 2010, but this time filled out with such ingredients as fried garlic, fried onion, and ground sesame seeds. First developed by Momoya, 'edible raayu' was popularized by appearances on television as a way to flavor rice bowls. Like any true Japanese culinary trend, demand quickly outstripped supply and Momoya was temporarily forced to stop advertising. Other companies such as S&B Foods Inc. have since entered the market and are now making competing products.
- B Class Gourmet: True, this one has been around a long time. However, the Fifth B-1 Grand Prix held in Atsugi, Kanagawa Prefecture this year really captured the public's imagination. What is B Class Gourmet? The name refers to tasty dishes which are also inexpensive, such as Miso katsu from Nagoya, Yokote yakisoba and Atsugi Shirokoro Horumon. There's little doubt this trend will continue in 2011.
- The rise and rise of all things organic. Supermarkets continue to devote more and more shelf space to organic produce – particularly products grown without pesticides, aren't genetically modified and are wheat/gluten free. Meanwhile, in wine bars (themselves something of a trend this year) so-called organic wines began to appear on the menu.
- Roll Cakes: The popularity of the convenience store patisserie section came as a surprise to many people. However even in bad economic times, people still want a taste of luxury, even if it is from the local combini.
- Komeko (rice flour) has traditionally been used to prepare Japanese sweets. This year it began to be used to prepare western-style bread and cakes. It is hoped that Komeko might raise the degree of Japanese self-sufficiency; the government is now promoting the use of locally produced rice flour. Many companies (Seven Eleven, FamilyMart, Lawson, even Starbucks) have begun to sell komeko, marketing it as a healthy alternative to wheat flour.
- White taiyaki: It seemed at one point this year a taiyaki shop was going to open at every train station in metropolitan Tokyo. What appears to have set off this real estate bubble was the popularity of 'white' taiyaki – fish shaped pastries filled with custard. The fad wasn't to last, however, and by the end of 2010 many of these new taiyaki-ya had already closed their doors.
Honorable mentions: The increasing popularity of tagines in Japanese homes, tomato vinegar, gourmet gelato, wine bars and cooking magazines aimed at men.
What we'd like to see in 2011
- Vegetarian dishes: Being vegetarian in Japan (and Tokyo in particular) is never easy. We want to see more vegan and vegetarian options on izakaya menus.
- Cafes for breakfast: Most Japanese eat breakfast at home or skip it altogether. We're hoping 2011 will be the year Japanese discover the independently run cafe. A decent cooked breakfast before 10 in the morning please!
- Creative sushi: Tired of the same-old sushi at your local kaiten place? We're hoping for more of the playful innovation that makes a visit to Nakameguro's Koi-sushi such a lot of fun.
- Middle Eastern food: If Japan can get over its fear of coriander, then surely chick peas and garlic shouldn't present too much of a problem? Kebab stands notwithstanding, Japan is yet to truly embrace Middle Eastern cuisine. At the very least we want to see containers of hummus appear on supermarket shelves!
Our predictions for what will be big in 2011
- Toronama donuts: Japan seems to have an affinity for donuts. For the first year or so of Krispy Kreme's Japanese venture, customers braved long lines to buy a box to take home to their families. Neither baked nor fried, Toronama donuts are a combination of mousse and sponge which are served cold. The company responsible for this latest donut fad – Nagoya's Love Sweets Antique – has now opened up shops across the country, and toronama donuts are set to take off nationwide.
- Bread cookers, specifically machines designed to cook with Japanese rice flour (such as the Sanyo 'Gopan') are going to be big in 2011. 'Go' stands for gohan (cooked rice) and 'pan' for pan as in bread. Expect to see your favorite talento filling the airwaves with demonstrations of how to cook with these machines during the first half of 2011.
- Pretzels: Anyone who has wandered past Ikebukuro station in recent weeks will have noticed the long lines outside Auntie Anne's, the American pretzel retailer. Is this the start of something big? We think so.
- Makgeolli, that milky looking Korean beverage, is becoming increasingly popular with young Japanese. While its unlikely to equal the recent highball craze, we think makgeolli's stock is rising.
- Asian spicy nabe: Every year sees a different nabe (Japanese hotpot) craze. For the past year curry nabe and tomato nabe have led the field. We're going to go out on a limb and predict south-east Asian flavors are going to be big in 2011.
What did you think were the biggest culinary trends of 2010? What will be big in 2011? And what would you like to see? Leave your comments below.

The Diggers
In the cliff face of the great Tok Plateau, a massive stone vault door lurches forward and falls to the ground. Inside the vault, an incorporeal globe depicting the planet in detail floats atop a simple pedestal, rotating slowly. No instructions or records are left, only the globe.
For days, experts, scholars, and mages inspect the curious floating sphere, but can glean nothing useful. Suddenly, as mysteriously as the opening of the vault, a point of red light appears on the surface of the globe. Soon, more and more points light up all over the world. At each point lay a new vault, and in each vault, the secrets of the ancients.
You are the Diggers, the explorers of a new frontier. The Verlorian vaults deep below the surface hide secrets of great power and great fortune. Retrieving them will require skill and bravery, and failure will mean no less than death. Sharpen your blades, prepare your spells, and steel your nerves – adventure awaits below.

I can't believe it's July already.
Maybe it's because there is nothing that reminds me of summer outside. It's been a dreadfully cold and rainy June (I believe the they said the wettest in many years).
I have been reading the many Juneathon blog post. My contribution to Juneathon was to run as little as possible. LOL. After my half marathon at the beginning of June I have run twice and only 2 miles each time. I am proud of myself that I pulled this off. The rest was good for me.
Even though June has been such a low mileage month, I have already logged over 500 miles this year, so well in plan to reach my 1000 miles at the end of the year.
Rather than running I focused back on eating this June. I signed up to receive an organic veggie box delivered to my home. I received the first one last Friday and love it.
The carrots are still covered in soil with the green bits having to be chopped off. I don't recall the last time cleaning carrots and eating them this fresh. They were so yummy. I haven't had good luck with avocados here in the UK, but the ones in my veggie box were just perfectly ripe and delicious. With my next delivery I surely will ask for a bigger box. Even the colors of the veggies look more vibrant. I am going to have the delicious looking tomatoes and pepper today.
I might try a sun dance or something to get the sun come out and play. It's back to running this month and I will love it more when the sun is shining! 🙂
Happy week, y'all!

Constitutionalist is a Word without Meaning
A lot of people call themselves constitutionalists. Almost universally they claim a particular view of the US Constitution and what it means. And again, almost universally, that view is that of the anti-federalists. The implication is that federalists like Madison and Hamilton were heretics and can be conveniently forgotten when discussing the formation of this nation. That view is wrong.
I do not agree with the views of federalists. I do not subscribe to the notion that the balance of power should be tipped towards the federal government at the expense of the states. I do not support the idea that the Constitution is open to creative interpretations that turn it into a blank check for Congress. I do not think that Hamilton was even a particularly nice or honorable guy. And I do not think that their views can be written off since they were a very important part of the process of creating our nation's founding document.
Constitutionalist and anti-federalist are not synonymous. To try and make them so it to try and re-write history.

After kicking off his first trip to Mexico over the weekend, Pope Francis visited the Federico Gomez Pediatric Hospital in Mexico City on Sunday, where he received a surprise serenade from a cancer-stricken teenager being treated at the facility.
The pontiff is seen in a video of the encounter standing over the young woman, as he intently watches her beautifully belt out an a capella version of "Ave Maria."
When she finishes, he smiles and bends down to give her a hug — a touching moment that has captured a fair bit of attention.
The Catholic News Agency called it "one of the most emotional moments" of Pope Francis' trip to the hospital, identifying the girl as 15-year-old Alexia Garduño. She reportedly suffers from osteosarcoma, a form of bone cancer.
Watch the stunning serenade below:
While at Federico Gomez Pediatric Hospital, the pontiff also hugged and visited with other children, even taking a moment to help give a little boy his medication.
The pontiff delivered a brief address the children and staff at the pediatric hospital, asking God to bless them and expressed hope that their "smiles grow day by day" as they seek and receive compassionate treatment.
"I ask God to bless you, and to accompany you and your families, and all those people who work in this home and try to ensure that your smiles grow day by day," he said. "May God bless each person…not only doctors but also those who provide 'kindness-therapy' thus making the time spent here more enjoyable."
Pope Francis will be in Mexico until Feb. 17.

The template for the story was obviously from the DC comics. However it's all Donner who crafted and created Superman The Movie. It was his touch that made the movie what it was and him by serendipity got Christopher Reeve who gave the titular character such a larger than life screen presence. Just think about what the original man that the Salkind had in mind for this, Guy Hamilton would have done. Hamilton was known mostly for making James Bond films, his last being "The Man with the Golden Gun" couple of years before filming began on Superman. Fortunately, the British taxman kept him away from filming in the UK. So Donner came on board, along with writers Tom Mankiewicz, David & Leslie Newman, they discarded Mario Puzo's 500 pages script and retooled it. By most account, Puzo's script was horrible. lol.

Roadside America
One of the quirkiest tourist attractions in the United States, Roadside America (610/488-6241, daily, $8 adults) stands alongside the I-78 freeway, 20 miles northwest of Reading in the village of Shartlesville. Built by Reading native Laurence Gieringer, Roadside America is a giant 1:32 scale model of bygone Americana, fleshed out with animated scenes that trace a typical day in the life of the country—circa 1930s, when Roadside America first opened to the public. As you walk around the edges of the 7,450-square-foot exhibit, you can push buttons to make wheels spin, lights flash, and pumps pump, and you'll see a little of everything rural: an 1830s New England village featuring a church and choral music; a canyon and lake complete with waterfalls and resort cabins; a model of Henry Ford's workshop in Dearborn, Michigan, where he built one of the first "horseless carriages"; various turnpikes, canals, highways, and railroads; a coal mine; and a mock-up of the San Francisco Bay Bridge, the closest Roadside comes to a city scene.
Though it's definitely a fine example of kitsch, Roadside America is also an oddly compelling place, and only the hardest-hearted road-tripper will be able to hold back the tears when, every half hour or so, the sun sets and Kate Smith bursts into "God Bless America."

This new system named ISIS Reporting Center, which is currently under development, will help stop the growing number of radical Islamic propaganda websites and social media accounts that promote terrorism. The system will allow the web users to report such accounts and websites that are attempting to radicalize refugees and other people from countries such as Europe, the United States, and Australia to promote terrorism.
The new ISIS reporting system will eliminate this shortcoming as the software is designed to check against the bulk list of users. The software will update this list on their official website and twitter account for others to see. But, they faced difficulty in posting to the Twitter account too because of privacy issues and the tweets were censored by the Twitter staff.
At present, the system is completely dependent on funding received from the masses and for that it has also been launched on the crowd funding platform, Gogetfunding.com. The creators of the system plan to build a whole network to search through the thousands of pages of intelligence collected over social media and search engines to detect any potential radicalism.
The first step in this project is to build a website where the users can report any suspicious online activity or websites involved in promoting radicalism. The system will fill the gap between the citizens and the law enforcement officials, who'll be able to take the required action sooner by getting informed.
The ISIS reporting website received good response from the users and there were many cases of such websites being reported which resulted in taking down or shutting down of those websites. The extremists were not to be happy with the system and they even posed threats to the developers of ISIS reporting center.
The existing process of reporting the Pro ISIS members included radicals groups of three being posted by a bot which led to shutting down of the entire batch of users. It was a bit difficult to keep a track of which users are active, suspended, or deleted/renamed.
The makers of this system have the aim to fight against radical Islam online and now with their new system they wish to bring a revolution and contribute in coping up with world terrorism. The Internet is a vast source of communication and ISIS reporting center believes that online radicalism needs to be stopped to curb terrorism.

text: The same atmospheric set-up responsible for Wednesday evening's powerful storms remains in place in coming days. That makes it likely at least sections of the Chicago area are likely to be re-visited by additional, potentially severe thunderstorms. Computer models continue to generate impressive rainfall totals between Thursday and the time the stormy pattern breaks down Sunday morning. The blazingly hot, moisture saturated air surging into the Midwest from the Plains provides the explosive environmental conditions known to foster the formation of rotating thunderstorms. Such storms are known to produce especially strong winds and heavy downpours. The greatest threat will be isolated to several hours each of the next three days. But, three periods-- Thursday afternoon and evening, Friday evening and night, and a portion of Saturday, appear most vulnerable to the eruption of especially active t-storms which may require severe weather watches.

"And going a little farther He fell on His face and prayed, saying, 'My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.'"
A Christian brother, Paul, brought this verse to my attention one day. His brother is a Mormon, a non-Christian. Their denial of the truth of the Trinity is tragic but continuous.
The point was made by the Mormon that there were two wills in this passage, apparently contradictory wills. The first was Jesus' will – He willed that the cup pass Him. The second was God the Father's will – He willed that Jesus drink the cup.
I reviewed this argument several times. I also looked through several Mormon apologetic books. The only thing I found was that Muslims use this same verse with the same point.
Their reading is incorrect. To understand we must again joyfully turn to Jesus Christ. When Jesus was incarnated He "made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant [or bondservant], being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross" (Philippians 2:7-8). This incomprehensible humbling brings God into human flesh. With this in mind we remember Matthew 24:36 (Mark 13:32), where Jesus shows that in His incarnation He does not have complete access to His omniscience (His ability to know all things). This fits perfectly with Jesus' admission in John 5:19, "So Jesus said to them, 'Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of His own accord, but only what He sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, that the Son does likewise'". Since the Son can do nothing of His own accord, He must depend on the Father for everything, even His knowledge (Luke 2:52). This was the key to understanding Matthew 26:39.
In Matthew 26:39, Jesus prays, "My Father, if it be possible". At this point, in His incarnation, Jesus does not know whether or not it is possible for the Father to take the cup from Him. Jesus acknowledges that His will is separated from the will of the Father by knowledge, not because of differing or opposing wills in the godhead. That is our answer to the Mormon and the Muslim.
For our own benefit, the rest of the verse is very insightful as well. Understanding the above, Jesus continues by showing His submission to the Father, "nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will". Jesus knows His will is not completely informed in His humanity and therefore He submits to the Father. In the same manner we should submit ourselves to God because of our complete dependance on Him for all things.

Whale strandings link probed by Scotland's Rural College vets
Vets are investigating whether there is a connection between three whale strandings off Scotland's east coast in the past week.
On Tuesday, a pilot whale died after getting stuck in the shallows off Silverknowes, north of Edinburgh.
On Friday, a minke whale had to be put down after stranding in the Firth of Forth off Crombie point in Fife, and a pygmy sperm whale stranded off Banff.
Vets from Scotland's Rural College are carrying out autopsies on the mammals.
SRUC veterinary investigation officer, Dr Andrew Browlow, said: "Based on what we know at the moment, it is unlikely that the strandings are linked because each has involved a different species of whale and initial indications would show they were suffering from different problems.
"However, we cannot be sure until our full investigations are complete."
Dr Brownlow said the pilot whale which stranded on Tuesday was possibly suffering from a brain disorder, although test results to confirm this are awaited.
The minke whale discovered off Crombie point was in a thin condition, suggesting it possibly stranded as a result of being lost.
The cause of the rare stranding of the female pigmy sperm whale off Banff Bay in Abderdeenshire is not yet clear.
The Scottish government-funded Scottish Marine Animal Stranding Scheme collates, investigates and reports information on stranded marine animals for Scotland.
It is managed by the SRUC Veterinary Investigation Centre in Inverness.
Members of the public who discover a stranded marine animal have been urged to report it to the Strandings Scheme.

I'm glad you came for a visit!
Do we really "own" our dogs — or, do our dogs "own" us?
Have you ever thought about whether we truly "own" our dogs? I have been contemplating this question, and I wonder what our dogs believe about this! Some dogs seem to think they are our "boss," while others are very happy to have us in charge of everything. The followers are easier in many ways, but the ones who feel they are the leaders may be more protective of us overall.
All of the dogs we have had as a part of our family over the many years of our marriage, have probably been a little bit in the middle of being leaders or followers. There were times with each of them when they felt compelled to try to be the "boss," and if they weren't acting appropriately, we had to correct them. Other times they decided to ignore what we were telling them that we wanted them to do. Some of the dogs we've known and loved have been anxious to please us, but others have not been quite as willing, at least at times. There are times that our dogs have been very much like our children in their responses. I often wonder if they see themselves as our children. Have you ever thought about that?
Our current best friend is Suzie. She is about 12 years old, and has been the sweetest dog we've ever known. She loves people and they all love her back. Her picture is on some of the blogs on this site. I feel we rescued her, as when we first met her she was tied up in a dirt front yard at a home of some people who were moving and couldn't take her with them. She had MANY fleas on her tummy, and was so happy to go with us within minutes after we first met her. According to the previous owner, she was "about two" when she first came to live with us. When we moved a few years ago, she seemed to be just as at-home in our new home as she had been in our previous home. She still is very loving and mostly tries to please us. She does have some little "games" she likes to play though. You can read about her life here with us in the blogs, which she "helps" me write now.
I'm glad you are here, and I hope you will come back often!
Barbara — and Suzie, of course!

Cheesy Hash Brown Potato Souffle
|Cheesy Hash Brown Potato Souffle
Years ago I went to a very fancy brunch buffet that served a version of these potatoes. They were so memorable that they have stuck in my mind for over 20 years. Not every day, mind you… but somewhere in the back of my mind. Seriously – it was time to stop thinking about these and take action.
Everyone seems to make their version of scalloped potatoes and this is the same basic idea. What makes the hash brown potatoes stand out is the fluffy soufflé like texture that the grated potatoes and the cheesy custard give to this dish.
Surprisingly, this potato dish is not heavy – It's actually light and fluffy. The custardy sauce wraps itself around each shred of potato creating a light soufflé like texture. So don't limit making this dish only for brunch. It would go well will anything that you would serve scalloped potatoes with.
2 pounds russet potatoes, cooked and grated
1 cup heavy cream or half & half
1 cup sour cream
2 large eggs
2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1 tsp. kosher salt
½ tsp. black pepper
2 stalks green onion, chopped small (optional)
Cook the potatoes in salted water for 20 min. Let rest till cool enough to handle; peel and grate on a large box grater. Place in a buttered 8X8 casserole.
Mix the cream, sour cream, eggs and half of the cheese together.
Pour mixture over the potatoes.
Top with the remaining cheese.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 min. or until cheese is bubbly on top.

Q: Tell us about your current position with King & Spalding and what drove you toward an international practice with the law firm.
A: I am a finance associate with King & Spalding LLP, and am currently seconded to the Middle East offices of the firm. I am based in our affiliated Riyadh, Saudi Arabia office, and often work out of our Dubai office. Since joining the firm last year, I have spent a couple of months in our New York office, and have also visited our London office. Our practice group is very well integrated between lawyers in these offices.
My area of focus is finance and debt capital markets, which includes both conventional and Islamic financing, on a bilateral, syndicated (multi-institutional), secured, and unsecured basis. We represent financial institutions and investment funds in the financing of all types of developments and projects. I decided to join King & Spalding LLP and the Middle East practice group because the volume and size of the deals I have exposure to here are tremendous.
The genuine demand for infrastructure and development in the region, combined with an unfathomable abundance of capital, has resulted in this region becoming one of the world's most active finance markets at the moment. Saudi Arabia specifically is a booming market, and is currently playing host to some of the highest value financing on the globe. Additionally, King & Spalding LLP is one of the world's leading firms in structuring Shari'ah-compliant financings. I work with a number of partners who are recognized as industry pioneers, and whom have single-handedly developed and implemented groundbreaking investment structures in the US, Europe, and the Middle East.
Q: How did your time in law school prepare you for an international legal career?
A: While at UC Hastings, I had a great deal of international law experience. Following my first year of law school, I summered at The Carter Center in Jerusalem and Ramallah, and at DLA Piper in Dubai. Following my second year of law school, I summered at Snell & Wilmer in southern California (where I spent my first couple of years of legal practice following graduation), and again at DLA Piper in Dubai. Being at UC Hastings and in the Bay Area also allowed me to become involved with the Stanford U.S.-Russia Forum, where I conducted economic cooperation related research and spent time in Moscow, Russia. UC Hastings also served as a perfect platform for me to leverage a position as an extern with the California Supreme Court under the Honorable Justice Ming W. Chin, where I was staffed on a prominent international trade case.
Ironically, perhaps one of my most memorable experiences while in law school was in fact the time I spent abroad. During the fall of 2011, immediately following the Egyptian revolution, I decided to move to Cairo in order to work with The Carter Center's newly founded field office as a legal analyst. The faculty and administration at UC Hastings were very supportive, and we were able to structure a six-month stay there, which was a very valuable experience for me.
Q: Why did you decide to get into law in the first place?
A: I studied Political Science with a focus on International Relations at UCLA, and minored in Middle East and North African Studies. When I decided to go to law school, my intention was to become a diplomat and focus on policy-making. However, after beginning at UC Hastings, I developed an appreciation for the commercial and corporate practice of law. After spending two summers at two different law firms, I realized that the pressures and excitements of working at a large law firm was what I wanted. Being surrounded by intelligent and sharp attorneys who are experts in their respective fields is remarkably motivational, and pushes me to hone my skills.
Q: What is your greatest professional accomplishment?
A: The deal I am presently working on is the one which I am most enthusiastic about. We have been engaged to represent our client in their endeavor to build the world's tallest building, which will be erected in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and will stand at over one kilometer high, overtaking the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, UAE. The project is titled "Jeddah Economic City," and will comprise of the monumental tower and an entire precinct/small city surrounding it, including retail, office, and residential build-out. It is certainly a privilege for any lawyer to work on a financing of this magnitude, where a number of banks are extending many billions of dollars. Finance deals this large do not come about very often, whether one is practicing in the US, Europe, the Middle East, or Asia.
There are a number of exciting deals I have worked on here in the region which have garnered press attention. We recently closed a transaction for Saudi Arabia's largest franchise retailer where we structured a first-of-its-kind point of sale credit terminal receivables securitization utilizing accounts and structures in Saudi Arabia and the UK, and another deal where we represented a syndicate of banks in the UAE through a senior unsecured issuance which was the first-ever Islamic debt capital markets issuance to be structured using certificates listed on the NASDAQ Dubai murabaha platform. We won the IFN 2014 "Deal of the Year" award for both of those transactions, and were designed best law firm in structured finance.

While emulation of today's Apple Macintosh computers is a shaky business at best, emulation of machines that are no longer manufactured or are no longer commercially viable is a bustling arena. Why? One word: Games. Well, actually there are two reasons: games, and historical interest.
Games are an obvious reason to emulate older computers. Many people have fond memories of computer games that ran on their old Ataris, Amigas, Apple IIs, game consoles, and other fun old machines. Today's powerful computers have no problem simulating the hardware and software behavior of these old boxes. Emulator programs such as Bochs, MAME, and others re-create the early days of PCs and video games. The software for these old machines often took less disk space than one graphics-intensive email does today. So, it's no problem having the software for hundreds of games, including old operating systems, on your own disk.

It's Wild Card Wednesday, the day anything can happen at Full-Tilt Backwoods Boogie. I rarely blog about writing, even though most of my readers are writers. Today is going to be an exception.
A published writer once told me professional fiction writing has a steeper learning curve than any career she'd ever had. I've found that to be true. There's always something to learn or to improve upon.
The following is a reference meant to assist in locating online writing classes. I am not promoting any particular writing class or instructor. Each writer has a unique mindset and a unique way of learning. There is no right or wrong as long as you're writing.
(The links will take you straight to workshop listings and registration information.)
Savvy Authors — They have short workshops as well as 6-12 month courses. A $30 yearly membership has many benefits including a steep discount on most workshops.
Many Romance Writers of America chapters offer classes. The classes cover a wide range of topics and are not necessarily just for romance writers. The courses are usually conducted via Yahoo Email Loop. The following list is by no means conclusive.
Low Country RWA — All their courses are $16 for everybody.
Kiss of Death RWA — RWA's online mystery and suspense chapter. They offer courses on crimes, corpses, psychopaths and everything in between. Courses are $30 for non-members.
Orange County Chapter RWA — Courses here are on a variety of topics and cost $30 for non-members.
Futuristic, Fantasy and Paranormal RWA — This is RWA's online chapter for writers of otherworldly or supernatural fiction. They offer courses on a variety of other craft topics. The cost is $20-$30 for non-members.
To search the online course offerings of more RWA Chapters, click here for chapter listings. From there you can choose region or special interest. Most of the special interest RWA chapters are online only, so there is a good possibility they might be offering online classes. (hint, hint)
Side note on cop and crime scene resources:
The crime scene writer yahoo loop is an excellent resource for mystery, crime and suspense writers. This yahoo loop is a place you can ask your "what if" questions for free.
Lee Lofland's Police Procedure and Investigation will cover more particulars than a writing class on writing about cops. Mr. Lofland also has an excellent blog where he discusses many aspects of police work.
D. P. Lyle has written an excellent called Howdunit Forensics. This 448 page monster will cost you less than a writing class on crime scene forensics, and you'll probably get more information. Dr. Lyle also offers to answer questions or do story consulting here.
Announce Online Writing Classes — This yahoo loop is run by Julie Rowe. It is an excellent clearing house for writing courses. The best part: it's free. The downside is that once or twice a month, you will receive tons of email.
An aside on Yahoo Loops:
The "I get too much mail from yahoo loops" complaint is one I've heard often. There are work-arounds.
- Go to Edit Membership at the top of your yahoo group page. Once there, select daily digest. This will greatly reduce the number of emails that land in your inbox.
- Gmail users can create a filter.
- Yahoo Mail users can create a filter.
Writer Univ.com — Offers classes on various aspects of writing. If you're looking for a Mary Buckham class, she often offers her courses here. These courses run $30-$55.
An aside on Mary Buckham: Her lecture packets can be purchased at any time for $20.
Lawson Writer's Academy — Margie Lawson now has her own writing university where a variety of classes are offered. The courses run $15-$75. Margie is well known for her courses on editing (Empowering Character Emotions and Deep EDITS). All of Margie's courses can be purchased as lecture packets for only $22.
WritersOnlineClasses.com — Offers a variety of courses on the craft of writing. Most courses are $30.
Write it Forward Workshops — This is where you can find courses taught by Bob Mayer, Kristen Lamb, and Jen Talty. The courses are $20-$40.
Bootcamp for Novelists online offers basic to advanced courses in the craft of fiction writing. Connie Flynn and Linda Styles teach the classes. Courses are $22 each, but can be bought in packages.
Angela James's Before You Hit Send is a course about self-editing, but it's like a course on steroids. Angela covers more than you think she can in the space of three weeks. Cost is $49.
Cheryl St. John — The author of over 30 Harlequin and Silhouette books. She teaches classes on a variety of craft topics. Classes are $20-$30.
Working with other Writers:
Sometimes the only thing that will help is working with other writers. It's intimidating, though. What if they say I should throw away my laptop and get a job collecting garbage?
The thing to remember is that we're like a bunch of people gathered on a beach. We all came together seeking a shared vision of paradise. Sometimes finding paradise takes a group effort.
Ways to meet other writers:
(Listed cheapest to most expensive)
By far, the cheapest way to meet other writers is to tweet, visit blogs and make friends. I met my critique parter, Stacy Green, by visiting her blog and commenting on some short fiction she had posted.
Savvy Authors has critique groups and writing groups by genre. A $30 membership is required.
Sisters in Crime is an organization aimed at female mystery and crime writers. They have a sub group called Guppies (Great Unpublished Writers). Guppies members can request placement in a critique group. In order to join Guppies, one must also join Sisters in Crime. Membership in Sisters in Crime is $40. Membership in Guppies is $12.
RWA – is an organization aimed at both published and unpublished romance writers. They have a variety of online special interest chapters as well as face-to-face chapters all over the world. Membership starts at $110. Each chapter charges a fee in addition to the basic membership.

The liveliest resort on the island with a number of bars and nightclubs on it main strip, alternatively you can opt for the quieter old quarter where you will find cobbled streets and tapas bars.
With its central location it's a great spot to use as a base for sightseeing, if that's not up your street, take it easy on the islands most popular beach before taking a dip in the cool blue waters.
For all the shoppers out there, you will be spoilt for choice if you take a stroll along the main coastal road, here you will find shops by the dozen where you can saunter along at your own pace.
Transfer Time approx – 30mins
Puerto del Carmen is well equipped to deal with the lively tourist trade that exists here, with everything from authentic tapas bars to British meals on offer. The resort is well-known for its nightlife, and Centro Atlantico, with its range of clubs, is the place to go if you're seeking somewhere to dance the night away!
If you're not busy nursing a hangover, Puerto del Carmen has plenty of activities to keep you entertained during the day. Playa Chica, though the smallest beach, is on of the island's best dive spots, and Timanfaya National Park's volcanic landscape is open for tourists to explore either by car or on the back of a camel. On the other hand, if you're feeling lazy, the beaches are pleasant enough to lie on all day long...

This breakthrough paper on one of the key ingredients in Ola Loa, Betaine, exploring its impact on preventing heart attacks was published in the African Journal of Biochemistry Research. The research concludes that betaine is shown to prevent heart attacks and damage after injection of the toxic drug isoprenaline. The research concludes that "...the overall cardioprotective effect of betaine was probably related to its ability to strengthen the myocardial membrane by its membrane stabilizing action or to a counteraction of free radicals by its antioxidant property."
African Journal of Biochemistry Research, (November, 2007); Vol.1 (6); pp 117-123
This paper on Betaine, one of the key ingredients in Ola Loa, was published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. It shows how Betaine functions to support heart, liver and kidney health, as well as its implications for atherosclerosis, diabetes and more.

We've waited a long time for the EOS M. A compact with an interchangeable lens was the only obvious gap in Canon's line-up, and this camera was grist for the rumour mill for just about as long as every new iPad. For a while it even looked like Canon might sit out this particular innovation in fear that it could damage its compact and dSLR brands. Fortunately it didn't, and what it's come up with immediately feels like one of the best-constructed, sturdiest compact interchangeable lens cameras out there. You can pick one up for around £550 online.
The question is, is image quality and usability equally robust. In short, was it worth the wait? There's only one way to find out...
Build and design
Canon has capped the resolution at 18 megapixels spread across an APS-C-sized sensor. If that sounds familiar it's because that's the same sensor size and resolution as you'll find in its consumer dSLR lineup. The EOS 600D (£415) and 650D (£540) match it point-for-point, which might make you wonder why you'd want to buy a digital SLR at all when you can get effectively the same internals here in a far smaller body.
It largely comes down to versatility. The most obvious difference between the two is that the missing mirror inside the EOS M means it's unable to bounce the incoming light to an optical viewfinder, and so as with most mirrorless interchangeable cameras all of the composition is done using the rear LCD. Those that do sport a viewfinder have no choice but to use a digital version or, as in the case of the rangefinder-like Fujifilm X-Pro 1 (£1,100), offset it from the lens.
There's no built-in flash, either. Canon has bundled one in the box and it comes in a neat carry bag, but clipping this onto the hot shoe isn't nearly so convenient as flipping up a built-in lamp, and as it's powered by two AAA batteries it isn't so compact, either.
Finally there's the issue of lenses. The EOS M is bundled with an 18-55mm lens which delivers approximately 3x zoom equivalent to 28.8-88mm in a conventional 35mm camera on account of the sensor's 1.6x focal length multiplier.
This is an excellent set of metrics to get you started, but at the moment this very attractive metal-bodied lens comprises half of the entire EF-M mount line-up. Its only companion is a 22mm prime at f/2. If you want to move beyond these, or recycle your existing EF or EF-S lenses, you'll need to buy an adapter.
It's early days, though, and any new platform can be expected to grow over time if it proves to be a success. Samsung, Nikon, Panasonic and all those who have led the charge in this field have been growing their ranges of lenses and accessories over time and there's no reason to suspect that Canon won't do the same.
There are plenty of reasons, however, to sidestep to traditional dSLR and opt instead for the EOS M. It's considerably smaller, extremely well built and has all the controls you'd expect of a high-end camera in a compact body.
The 3-inch LCD is touch sensitive, and the controls are easy to navigate. A dedicated quick menu spread up and down each side lets you set white balance, picture style, image quality, focus mode and so on without trawling the full menus.
You can drag the exposure compensation through three stops in either direction by sliding your finger across the screen, and do the same with aperture and shutter speed, all of which is far faster than using the rear mounted wheel. All settings choices can be previewed in real time, so even though you wouldn't see the effect of a longer exposure until you played back the image, the relative level of captured light is simulated while you're framing your shot. You can tap to focus and, optionally, tap to fire the shutter, too.
Although it's easy to specify what you want to use as your focus point by tapping on the screen it can sometimes be slow to get a fix, even in good light, and it's disappointing that there's no switch on the side of the lens to change from auto to manual focus; instead you need to do it through the menu so it's not as easy to switch between this and autofocus as it is on a dSLR.
It's also a little disappointing that it doesn't automatically enlarge the selected focal point while you're manually turning the end of the barrel so that you can get a better fix on the effect you're having. You can, however, switch between 1, 5, and 10x magnification using a button on the screen. Other than that, though, manual focus is easy and comfortable, courtesy of a far better focusing ring than you'd find on many entry-level lenses.
When using a sufficiently narrow aperture or shooting a subject face on, the image remains sharp right into the corners, with barely any fall-off when compared directly to the centre of the shot.
At the opposite end of the scale, the maximum wide aperture also allows for some very satisfyingly shallow depths of field, should you choose, so you can isolate specific elements within the frame with ease. It's easy to pick the exact part of the frame you want to keep in focus by tapping on the LCD.
Sensitivity kicks off at ISO 100 and runs through to ISO 12,800, although in auto mode it's capped at ISO 6,400. If you need to push it to extremes you can extend it to ISO 25,600 equivalent.
I performed the majority of my tests with the camera set to aperture priority mode so that I could control depth of field while the camera compensated with automatic sensitivity, shutter speed and so on. On the first of two days of testing I was shooting under overcast skies so manually selected the appropriate white balance.
Despite this, some architectural shots were biased towards the shadows, with the histogram showing a sparseness of tones in the brightest quarter, even when the EOS M had increased its sensitivity to ISO 400. Fortunately this wasn't too serious a problem, as by shooting in raw I could rebalance the shots in post production if I so desired. This may have been caused by the EOS M selecting high shutter speeds for shots that included a generous amount of sky, with 1/1000 and 1/2000 second not unusual. Images framed to exclude the sky were perfectly balanced -- as were those shot in more favourable lighting.

The creation of spectacular material using wax is not a new innovation. The method originated in Holland in the 1800's when a merchant, traveling to Java, saw the people wearing exotic clothing and brought a description of the wax process home. This Holland Wax Fabrics was then introduced to Africa in the 1900's, was instantly accepted, and has become the most widely used textile.

Education Program
Top Global University Project "Japan Gateway: Kyoto University Top Global Programme"
Kyoto University has been selected for the FY2014 Top Global University Project, a higher education reform initiative launched by Japan's Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT).
The MEXT programme aims to raise Japan's global competitiveness in higher education by supporting internationalisation and reform efforts at select institutions. Kyoto University's reform initiative is called "Japan Gateway: Kyoto University Top Global Programme" and is categorised as "Type A: Top Type" in the Top Global University Project. The Japan Gateway initiative focuses on the following research areas: Mathematics, Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Human Biosciences, Social Sciences and Humanities, Environmental Studies and Public Health.
The discipline of Social Sciences and Humanities covers Graduate School of Economics , Graduate School of Letters and Graduate School of Agriculture (Division of Natural Resource Economics). To cultivate globally minded individuals with the capacity to contribute to the sustainable development of Asia and the world, the Asian Platform for Global Sustainability & Transcultural Studies (AGST) has been set up with six modules in the programme:
Module 1 Environmental policy and rural development studies
Module 2 Business history and industry policy studies
Module 3 International trade and financial studies
Module 4 Social policy and labor studies
Module 5 Developing and transition economies studies
Module 6 Asian and transcultural studies
Inviting world-leading researchers from partner institutions, Graduate School of Economics will develop new jointly implemented courses, which, together with pre-existing courses (e.g. the International Graduate Programme for East Asia Sustainable Economic Development Studies, or EA Course), will be part of an expanded cross-credit scheme. This educational structure will provide the basis for development of joint/double degree programmes with partner institutions.

From the San Francisco Chronicle:
After tumbling to a 23-year low in 2007, California's commercial honeybee population seems to be on the rebound - though a mysterious and deadly epidemic persists in ravaging some colonies.
Apiarists in the state, most of whom rent their bees to farmers for crop pollination, say this and last year's wet winters - and more plentiful greenery - may have helped temper the effects of "colony collapse disorder," a little-understood scourge that has virtually wiped out some bee stocks across California and the United States.
The number of honeybee colonies in California is at its highest level in seven years - good news in a state where the black-and-yellow bug represents a critical link in the multibillion-dollar food-production cycle. In their search for nectar, the buzzing insects unwittingly distribute pollen - the equivalent of male sperm - to the female part of plants. Nearly 100 California crops, including melons, sunflowers, carrots, cauliflower and almonds, rely on bee pollination.

You Can't Detect What You Can't See: Illuminating the Entire Kill Chain
On-Demand Webinar
The correct answer is, I think, neither. Look, the Mac OS has always had holes. It always will. To think otherwise, no matter what the legions of the MacMacs out there fervently wish, is to literally deny reality.
Windows Vista and XP also have holes. Solaris has holes. Even my dear, fondly remembered OS/400 has holes. We are talking about complex software designed by inherently, and sometimes actively imperfect beings. There are always going to be holes, a k a mistakes. No matter how smart the designers of Mac OS X are, (and having met quite a few of them, they're astoundingly smart, all of them), they're only human.
They also aren't the only smart people on the planet. As a good friend of mine, Andy Ihnatko once said, rather sagely (complete with appropriate sagely demeanor), "No matter how smart or evil I may be, there is always someone out there who is smarter and more evil than I am."

As vulnerabilities go, this one was both quite real, and not as bad as it could have been. It affected a critical framework in Mac OS X, and a rather common install in Windows (QuickTime), and until it was patched, your only real safe bet was to disable Java in your browsers. It could, and did, allow a web site to open a hole into at least your home directory, and potentially worse.
To those who were, and maybe still are, trying to shout this down as "not a real problem," I say to them, "get a clue." Any hole that allows a random web page to open up your machine is bad. Period. Especially since this kind of attack vector makes hay of things like anti-virus and most firewalls. You created the connection, you "executed" the code. Had someone started exploiting this in a bad way, the fact that it wasn't a "real" problem would not be comforting to those damaged by it.
However, this vulnerability does not suddenly make the Mac OS no more secure than a tissue house in a hurricane. It had a reliable workaround (disable Java), that while causing some pain, did not require you to ignore the Internet until a patch was found. Exploiting the vulnerability meant you had to get people to execute the code on a web site. The law of averages makes this rather quite hard to do on the Internet, especially with an eleven-day window between discovery and patching.
This was not a "Witty"-level problem, wherein malware on another machine could reach out and infect your system, then crash it without you ever knowing about it. (For information on Witty, a particularly nasty bit of malware, read here.) You had to go to a location with the attack code to be hit by it. This is hardly a harbinger of doom.

After a much relaxing weekend, I decided on Sunday night, before Amazing Race started, that I was going to make my first ever Lemon Meringue Pie, homemade crust and all! It was actually much easier than I expected! I found this recipe in a dessert cookbook I bought awhile ago! It really hits the spot when you're looking for a sweet!
Pie Dough:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
7 tbsp butter, diced, plus extra for greasing
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
Finely grated rind of 1 lemon
1 egg yolk, beaten
3 tbsp milk
Sift the flour into a large bowl and rub in the butter. Then mix in the remaining ingredients. Knead briefly on a lightly floured work surface. Let rest for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350F/180C. Crease an 8-inch/20-cm ovenproof tart pan with butter.
Roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/4 inch and line the pan with it. Prick with a fork, then line with parchment paper and fill with dried beans. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and reduce oven temperature to 300F/150C.
3 tbsp cornstarch
1 1/4 cups cold water
Juice and grated rind of 2 lemons
Heaping 3/4 cup superfine sugar
2 eggs separated
Mix the cornstarch with a little water to make a paste. Pour the remaining water into a saucepan. Stir in the lemon juice and rind and cornstarch paste. Bring to a boil, while stirring, and cook for 2 minutes. Cool slightly, then stir in 5 tablespoons of the sugar and the egg yolks and pour into the pastry shell. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff. Gradually whisk in the remaining sugar and spread over the pie.
Bake for 40 minutes, until the meringue is light brown and serve warm.

Sometimes life is going so relatively smoothly that I want to take a snapshot of it and keep it unchanged. I guess Thanksgiving has helped me concentrate on the blessings rather than the frustrations, but our lives are going well at this time. Everyone in the family has a job, son Matt is putting the finishing touches on his software creation that will be offered for sale soon, Matt and wife Sarah just ran a 5K for the first time (pushing Joshua in a stroller), the grandkids are all healthy, Mom is doing great (her cholesterol level is actually better than mine....grrr...don't go there!), Mom's dog Jenny still hasn't killed or maimed our new puppy, my older niece was elected president of her sorority, my other niece has been inducted into the National Honor Society, Caroline and Charlotte had an amazing violin recital and are doing well in school, my sister after years of hard work finally got our mom's house on the market.... and you know, the list goes on and on.
But, of course, change does come. On a description of this blog, I mention that my journey focuses on my response to aging, roadblocks to simplicity, grandparenting, acceptance and celebration of the past, etc., but basically here it is in a nutshell: "....life's changing roles." Change is everywhere, from my living situation to my aging body to all my family and friends. Things cannot stay stagnant. Even the seasons remind of that. (Ed told me it is time for our annual call to our local newspaper to ask them to stop delivery until the spring thaw, as the carrier can't get to the newspaper box because the snow plow drops it all in front, since we got our first real snow of the winter this week.) Holiday commercials are everywhere, and Rachel calls us every day to remind us that her blender is being held together with duct tape and she really, really, REALLY wants a new top-of-the-line blender for Christmas.
But can't we keep things the same right now? Mom is still with us, my aunt and uncle and Mom's best friend, all in their 80s, are still with us. I don't want any more losses, any more deaths. Everyone is healthy and happy and I want it to go on forever.
Change is scary because of the unknown factor, but just when I wish for the power to stop time just as it is now, then I wake to reality: Joshua is a cuter-than-ever 16-month-old toddler, but I am curious to see what it will feel like to have him tell me about what he is doing in kindergarten a few years from now. I wonder how Caroline will be excelling in violin as she grows and fine tunes her already incredible talent. And Charlotte - now there's a firecracker in training - I can hardly wait to see how she matures and changes! What will the grandkids look like as they grow? What will they be interested in? What things can I help them with and teach them?
The cycle of life is so poignant. Charlotte's violin is very small, the size that Caroline started with, but awhile back Caroline upgraded to a bigger violin because she had grown. When Joshua comes to visit, we pull out the plastic spoons and bibs that we used for the girls when they were little - and even a toy dog that I used when I was a baby! Each object just shouts "CHANGE!"
Tomorrow our family will celebrate Thanksgiving here (after the kids go to their in-laws today). Since Mom is here, we will have 4 generations together for the first time ever on Thanksgiving, so that will be a blessing. We will gather in the living room to take our annual family Christmas photo, this year having Mom in the picture. That photo freezes us in time, at our current ages, interests, skill levels, physical health - the snapshot of what our family looked like on November 25, 2011. Nanoseconds after the photo is taken, though, things will be changing. Cells in our body dying and replenishing, more life experiences to enter in our brains' computers, more conversation, more learning - and yes, more pain, more sorrow, more anxiety.
But for today, I close my eyes and picture our family as we are this second - healthy and content - and we all have warm houses, enough food, clothes, and money to live, friends who care about us, but most important, we have what you can't see in the photo - oodles and oodles of love. And that's the thing that will support us through all the inevitable changes life will throw at us in the years to come.
Happy Thanksgiving!

The impact of IBS can range from mild inconvenience to severe debilitation, impacting many aspects of a person's emotional, social and professional life. Unfortunately it's also unpredictable; symptoms vary and are sometimes contradictory - as diarrhoea can alternate with constipation, bloating being quickly replaced by cramps. Unsurprisingly, it's reported that it takes 6-7 years on average for a full medical diagnosis after the onset of symptoms, with the majority of cases being completely undiagnosed at all. I can testament to the fact that doctors struggle with any kind of tummy trouble, having only really been trained to deal with 'fixing' things that are 'broken' in the traditional sense; modern medical training is still concerned only with ailments that can be cured, rather than managing conditions that mean our bodies aren't working in the most efficient way.
1. Reducing the amount of stress I'm under
It sounds simple enough, but believe me - I know how tricky this can be to implement. It's important to recognise when you're having a really stressful day, week or month and give yourself time to chillax. Even if it's just switching off at 5pm and resolving to spend the evening scoffing treats and chilling in a bath, little things can really make a difference. I've made a conscious decision to walk away from situations and relationships that are too stressful, preferring to invest that time and effort into things I really enjoy (such as reading or drinking wine with my mates.)
2. Limiting foods I know to be irritants
I know that spicy foods, popcorn and milky chocolate will set my stomach alight (and not in a good way,) so if I'm having a dodgy time I'll simply avoid them completely. There's no point making an uncomfortable day even worse, so if you know certain things mean you'll be bloated for the next two days or have you running to the toilet, just put them down. If I'm away from home or know I have lots of meetings where it's just not practical for me to feel dodgy, I'll keep my food and drink as clean as possible. Fish, vegetables, lightweight nibbles and lots of mint tea is where it's at.
3. Practicing yoga and meditation
A little mindfulness goes a long way - as does a little stretching. My weekly yoga class does wonders for my overall wellbeing, but also helps to massage my tummy into working more effectively. Although during the class I feel like I'm going to parp at any moment, I definitely feel a positive benefit in the days after; put simply yoga can help you shut down stress by calming the nervous system, and in the process calm your irritated digestive system. Similarly, meditation can help reduce stress levels and put you back in control of your body - which is exactly what you need when you're overwhelmed with the feeling of disconnect between your tummy and the rest of you.
Are you a sufferer of IBS or any other gastroenterology issues? How do you manage your symptoms or live with the condition? Are you worried you may be suffering with IBS in silence, and are in need of a diagnosis?
