At 9.15 am on Friday, 21 October 1966, in the colliery town of Aberfan, a hillside of colliery waste slid and covered the town and the Pantglas Junior School, killing 144 people, 116 of them schoolchildren aged between 7 and 10. Survivors remembered that they had just finished their regular school assembly, where they sang All Things Bright and Beautiful. Although rescuers found no survivors after 11 am, it would be nearly a week before they managed to recover all the bodies.

You Kill Me is 2007 crime comedy film directed by John Dahl, and starring Ben Kingsley, Luke Wilson, Téa Leoni, Philip Baker Hall, Dennis Farina, and Bill Pullman.[2]
Frank Falenczyk (Ben Kingsley) is a hit man for his Polish mob family in Buffalo, New York. He has a drinking problem, and when he messes up a critical assignment that puts the family business in peril, his uncle Roman Krzeminski (Philip Baker Hall), head of the family, sends him to San Francisco to clean up his act. Falenczyk is forced to accept a job at a mortuary, and go to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, where he confesses his job, explaining that he wants to be free of his drinking problem because it's affecting his ability to kill effectively. He falls in love with Laurel Pearson (Téa Leoni), a quirky client he meets at the funeral home. Meanwhile, an upstart Irish mob threatens the family snow-plowing business. When violence erupts, Frank returns home to face the old rivals on new terms. With assistance from Laurel, he manages to suppress his family's adversaries, killing the mob's leader and disbanding the Irish posse.

Quick Reference
The economic and social relationship between the buyers and sellers of labour. The term is used widely in the management and social sciences; it covers a broad range of relationships and is not restricted to a situation in which there is a formal contract of employment. It is legitimate therefore to refer to the employment relationship between self-employed workers and those who use their labour. The employment relationship has a number of dimensions. First, while it is in the first instance an economic exchange it can also form the basis of a social relationship, in which worker and employer accept mutual obligations and commitment (see mutual gains and paternalism). Second, it is both a market relationship, in which labour power or the capacity to work is exchanged for wages, and a work relationship, in which the employer uses that capacity in the process of production. Third, the employment relationship is indeterminate in the sense that the employer buys the worker's capacity to work but has no guarantee that the capacity will be used to perform productive labour. For this reason, employers must manage labour and either control or secure the cooperation of workers to ensure that labour power is transformed into useful work. Fourth, the employment relationship is often regarded as a relationship of subordination, as workers accept the authority and control of the employer within the employing organization. Fifth and finally, worker and employer bring different interests to the employment relationship, which in some cases provide for cooperation; for example, workers want secure, well-paid employment and employers want high performance and this can result in a productivity coalition. In other cases, however, these competing interests lead to conflict, as when workers strike over the price of labour or engage in restriction of output because they value free time and autonomy and resent management control.

I don't mean to toot my own horn, but this Sausage and Sweet Potato Chili may be the best recipe I've shared to date!
Guys, I feel like obligated to write a little story to go with this sweet potato chili, but all I really want to say is, "This recipe is SO GOOD! You have to make it!" I'm usually modest to a fault, but I'm pretty excited about this one.
I had an interesting experience on Sunday. I took my boys to the store for a pretty long list of groceries, and WE DIDN'T MAKE A SCENE. Not only did my children act like civilized human beings, my oldest actually helped. A lot. I sent him to the deli to get the roast beef all on his own, and he got in line and started unloading groceries while I grabbed one last thing. It was amazing. I'm usually telling them to stop running around like animals at the grocery store, so I was beyond proud of their behavior.
One thing my son was helping with was gathering produce. The funny thing was, when I sent him for a sweet potato, he came back saying they just had a bunch of different yams. I realized that I still don't really know the difference between a yam and sweet potato. I went over to look at the options with him, and we picked the orangiest looking yam and decided that would work fine (which it did). In case I'm not the only one who doesn't know a yam from a sweet potato, I did a little research that I will share with you before getting to this right tasty sausage and sweet potato chili recipe.
Thanks to Wikipedia, I found out that yams are monocots, with one embryonic seed leaf, while sweet potatoes are dicots, having two embryonic seed leaves. I mean come on, people. Doesn't everyone know that?
To make it even more confusing, in America, some sweet potatoes are called yams, so basically there is no difference since you don't even necessarily know what you're getting! When you go shopping for this recipe, just get a yam or sweet potato. Either one is fine. Now's let's get to this tasty recipe:

Roland FP-30 Digital Piano Bundle
Superior sound and touch
Superior sound and touch
Superior Sound and Touch that Satisfies the Most Experience Pianists
The FP-30's exceptional performance easily outshines other instruments in its class. Roland's unrivaled sound and feel deliver an authentic piano experience for maximum expression, providing a solid foundation for proper learning and the detailed articulation and response that experienced players demand. Supporting the FP-30's advanced SuperNATURAL Piano engine is a powerful onboard sound system, along with a newly developed keyboard that inherits the touch, escapement, and Ivory Feel keys found in our high-end home pianos.
Powerful Digital Advantages for Learning, Creativity, and Enjoyment
Thanks to its modern digital engine, the FP-30 goes far beyond any acoustic piano, bringing more fun and productivity to your playing sessions. Non-piano sounds like organs, strings, and voices let you enjoy all types of music styles, and a variety of drum patterns are on board to back you up. It's even possible to layer two sounds together or play different sounds with each hand. Bluetooth wireless is built in for working with MIDI music apps on mobile devices, while USB support enables you to play along with favourite tunes and save SMF songs captured with the FP-30's recorder. Twin Piano mode is perfect for private lessons, allowing student and teacher to play side by side in the same octave ranges. And by plugging in headphones, you can get lost in musical journeys day or night without disturbing housemates or neighbours.
Highly Portable for Life on the Move
The FP-30 offers a sleek, elegant look that's a welcome addition to any room. The light, compact design fits in tight living spaces and is easy to move when needed. It's great beyond the home as well, giving performers and music educators a pro-level instrument that's incredibly mobile. For a more traditional setup, the optional KSC-70 stand and KPD-70 three-pedal unit provide an integrated look and classic pedal configuration while maintaining a much smaller footprint than a typical upright piano. Another great benefit is that the KPD-70's foot pedals can be used for hands-free turning of onscreen music pages while using mobile apps such as piaScore and Sheet Music Direct.
Rich, responsive tone from Roland's renowned SuperNATURAL Piano sound engine
88-note PHA-4 Standard keyboard provides authentic piano touch for maximum expression
Powerful amplifier and stereo speakers deliver impressive sound
Headphones output and quiet keyboard action allow you to enjoy playing at any time without disturbing others
Compact and lightweight body for easy mobility in and out of the home, studio or classroom
Built-in Bluetooth wireless connectivity for using the piano with popular apps on your smartphone or tablet such as GarageBand, piaScore, Sheet Music Direct, and many others
Broaden your musical experience with dual/split modes and a wide selection of non-piano sounds like organ, strings, voices, drums, and more
Twin Piano mode is ideal for lessons, letting student and teacher play side by side in the same octave ranges
Connect USB memory to save songs you've captured with the onboard SMF recorder and play along with your favourite WAV and SMF songs
What's included?
1x Roland FP-30 Digital Piano , 1x Timber Stand, 1x Peddle Set.

For Hoteliers, Attracting Talented Workers Requires Clarity
With all of the change in the hospitality industry in the last two decades, it's nice to know that certain things remain the same. Fluffy towels are still desirable, for example. Ample, clean washroom facilities remain important to guests. Most of the traditional tenants of good hospitality ring true, even if processes like booking and promotions are virtually unrecognizable to what they were in the 1990s and before.Read More

NEW YORK (AP) -- Shares of mining companies and steel makers rose Tuesday after aluminum maker Alcoa posted a larger-than-expected first-quarter profit.
The New York-based company said Monday that its results got a boost from strong demand for aluminum used to make airplanes and cars. It added that it still sees demand for aluminum growing 7 percent in 2013, with gains cutting across many industries.
The news implies a pickup in industrial activity and bodes well for companies like Cliffs Natural Resources Inc., which produces iron ore used in steel production as well as coal. Its shares rose $1.57, or 8.4 percent, to $20.36 in afternoon trading after peaking at $20.51 earlier in the session.
Miners also got a boost from increases in prices of metals like gold and copper, which bounced back from a recent slump.
Rio Tinto PLC's U.S. shares rose $2.75, or 6 percent, to $48.72 after reaching $48.80 earlier. In addition to iron ore and aluminum, Tinto produces copper, gold, diamonds, uranium and industrial minerals.
And U.S. shares of BHP Billiton Ltd., which produces aluminum and mines for copper, silver, zinc and other metals, were up $3.17, or 4.7 percent, to $71.22 after going as high as $71.30.
Among steel makers, U.S. Steel Corp. rose 93 cents, or 5.4 percent, to $18.16. ArcelorMittal added 57 cents, or 4.7 percent, to $12.80, and AK Steel Holding Corp. rose 15 cents, or 4.9 percent, to $3.24.
Alcoa is the first company in the Dow Jones industrial average to report first-quarter results. Because its products are used in so many things — from cars and buildings to drinks cans — investors watch Alcoa's results for hints about earnings at companies in other industries.
Alcoa shares were down 3 cents at $8.36.

Allow Me to Tell You Why Giving Yourself Your First Brazilian Is a Terrible Idea
It's basically SAW: Beauty Edition.
Do you like being impressive? Do you like grilling season? What if I told you that you could combine these two things? Don't worry; I'm not going to give you more heart attack burgers. These recipes are more subtle, more refined. If those burgers metaphorically shoot hot grease in your eyes while screaming "AMERICA," these recipes caress your tongue while refilling your super fruit sangria.
This is going to be another lesson in impressing the pants off someone with a sexy staple. This will allow you to say things like "Yeah, it's a little more expensive to make it yourself, but at least I know I'm not polluting my body with high fructose corn syrup, preservatives and chemicals."
But maybe don't say that, because I just got douche juice all over my keyboard by typing it. Instead of spewing all that word vomit, just focus on how delicious your concoctions are, because damn, these recipes are tasty.
Kittens, we're going to make some super fancy condiments.
I'm sensing that maybe you are underwhelmed/disappointed by this direction. Maybe you think condiments pedestrian? THAT'S A MISTAKE. I am going to show you how to make CURRY KETCHUP and a SWEET AND SPICY MUSTARD so everyone get excited!
My introduction to curry ketchup was a bright spot during an otherwise bleak period. You guys have heard me whine about hating my last two years of undergrad, so I won't bore you, but I hated it and I hated Gainesville. But there were a few places I liked frequenting. One of them was a snobby beer bar called Stubbie's & Stein's. The wait staff were kind of rude, but the beer selection was huge (mostly bottled, though) and the German food was awesome. My favorite thing to order was the potato pancakes. They came with applesauce and sour cream (which is always a good choice) and an assortment of mustards and ketchups.
THE CURRY KETCHUP WAS A REVELATION. The potato pancakes morphed from the main event into a vehicle for this miracle condiment. I don't even like ketchup that much.
I've never been able to find curry ketchup at the grocery, and while I guess I could just add curry powder to some Heinz, I felt like this was a good opportunity to make my husband fall in love with me harder.
Inspired by this recipe, I gathered the following:
Heat your oil in a heavy saucepan or Dutch oven (don't be immature, guys) on medium and add the onions and garlic, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching. Once everyone knows each other really well and is all soft and translucent (about 10 minutes), add your spices. Stir to coat.
Next, crush the peeled tomatoes by hand, squirting tomato juice all over your favorite hipster-looking shirt and your countertop. After you have squished the noble fruits, pour the remaining juice in after them. Add your sugar and vinegar, bring to a boil, then EVERYONE CALM DOWN because you're going to reduce the heat to a simmer and let it do its thing for about half an hour.
Next, get real excited to use your immersion blender that you have only used to make carrot soup that one time. Immerse the immersion blender only to have hot tomato slop flung against your skin. Swear like your mamma taught you and decide to use the blender instead. Blend until smooth and force through a strainer.
Pour into a mason jar so people will know it's homemade; use it on everything. I have no idea how long it will keep (probably a week or two).
Take to the next BBQ you are invited to. Make sure you want to sleep with at least one person attending, preferably the host, because you will become the second most desirable item at this soiree (the first is the ketchup, obvi).
I think this ketchup may have persuaded my husband to forgive me for bringing bugs in our house.
Still pretty awesome, that's what, but I'm going to share a mustard recipe with you anyway.
I pretty much followed this recipe exactly, except I didn't let the mustard seeds marinate for as long as it says to. I let it sit for 24 hours, which seemed to be enough, but letting it sit longer may result in mellower mustard. I don't know. I also omitted the horseradish, because this bitch had bite on its own.
Then you just pour everything in a non-reactive bowl, cover, and let it sit at room temperature and pressure for at least 24 hours, though the original recipe recommends two to three days. I didn't have time for that though, because I needed to impart this knowledge to you NOW. What if you have a BBQ this weekend? You need to be armed.
After that, blend it up in your food processor. If you don't have a food processor, re-evaluate your life/priorities.
Just kidding, a blender will probably work, just not as quickly.
Then boom, you made mustard.
This mustard has quite the kick. It's also very sophisticated and sexy, because of the wine. I recommend eating it with some fancy salumi or like a hot dog or something.
I didn't make any mayo though. Because what if I fucked that up and got everyone sick?
It's hard to get sick people to bone you.

"It was just a whole new world that opened up for me.
I had many years of suffering from low back pain.
It was absolutely depressing because if you hurt all the time it's a cycle. You hurt, you sit, you don't do things, you don't get out.
I was limited in my ability to stand for periods, I was limited in my ability to walk. I was limited in my ability to lift. It was difficult to do my job, it was difficult to play with my grandchildren.
Stair climbing was almost impossible.
When I met with my doctor following my injection which showed that the source of my pain was the SI joint he explained the procedure which would be implanting of these implants in my SI joint which he felt would go a long way to helping me with the issues that I had had with walking and standing and lifting and would stabilize that SI joint.
The procedure went very well. I was up and out of bed that same day, into physical therapy to learn how to use a walker and the crutches, and I was home, and it was easy.
I have no awareness of having the implants in my back at all. I'm not aware of them.
I was able to start to walk again.
Being able to walk a couple of miles a day has been wonderful. It has just freed me up to be able to exercise again and get outside.
Being able to go up and down stairs has been wonderful. Being able to lift the grandchildren has been, they come running out of the car to see me and I can actually pick them up without pain.
I had the surgery in October. In March I went to Washington, D.C. with a group and as soon as we got there the group decided we would walk from our hotel to the Pentagon, which was a good distance and I walked with no discomfort whatsoever and I thought wow. I could never have done this before.
This time of year we bring in a wheelbarrow full of wood to put in the wood box every day and I'm now the one who's happy to go down fill it up, bring it up, bring the wood in.
We have a very large step outside our back steps and I have short legs and it's still hard to do that step but I'm able to do it.
I gardened all summer. We have a huge garden and it was no problem for me.
I have been dismissed by my doctor at this point after one year. I had three month visits where I had CAT scans and x-rays to determine that the implants were in the proper place and that the bone was in the exact place where they were forming over the implants, and I got my walking papers so to speak and have been set to go.
It has made my life absolutely better."

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — A rude winter awakening looms on the horizon in the form of a large and rapidly intensifying storm.
This is a system that can't decide whether it wants to be a winter or springtime event, a trait often found in the climatically transitional month of March. As a result, the Delaware Valley will get a taste of both seasons.
First, we'll see spring. Temperatures will still easily climb into the mid 60s Wednesday (and even flirt with 70 for some!). The bulk of moisture will come Wednesday afternoon through the late evening in the form of rain and some gusty thunderstorms.
The southwestern third of our area has a slight risk for storms to turn severe locally. An isolated tornado can't be ruled out, but wind is the bigger and more widespread issue, with gusts peaking as high as 45 mph. Wind Advisories also take effect Wednesday evening for Philadelphia and counties to the west and south especially.
Later tonight, we see a harsh regression to the recent and cruel winter cold. Just how harsh? Here are a few ways to drive the point home:
1. The difference between the daytime highs Wednesday and Thursday will be about 35 degrees. Provided we hit that difference, it would be the second largest such plunge we've ever seen in the month of March.
2. Thursday's high will barely hit the freezing mark. That's NEVER a norm for Philadelphia. In fact, the coldest average low occurs in mid-January and is still 40 degrees.
3. You want shock value? In a span of about 12-16 hours, we go from the mid 60s (Wednesday afternoon) to wind chill values near zero. In other words, it may FEEL as much as 65 degrees colder in that short amount of time!
The bottom line: the legacy of this storm will be the gusty potential and the dramatic crash on the thermometer. That said, the side effect of rain followed by extreme cold is ice. Any leftover damp roads/bridges/sidewalks could easily freeze over and set us up for a slick Thursday morning commute.
Thankfully, this storm won't put us back into a prolonged cold spell. We're already rebounding from the worst of the chill by Friday, and we'll continue to warm up into the weekend.

Things I liked: This is the first break barrel air rifle I have purchased, and the first air gun I have purchased since I was 12 years old. Here is what I like: Price; Appearance and feel; Accuracy (once I found the right pellet); Cocking effort; Trigger
Things I would have changed: Combo packs should always contain adequate hardware that will function with the rifle. I doubt the included scope was air gun rated. The "Ruger" 4x32 scope failed after approximately 50 shots with it mounted (300 shots total). The reticle piece came loose inside and rendered the scope unusable
What others should know: I have owned this rifle for about 4 months. This is a very nice adult air rifle. New owners may have the following concerns: stiff trigger, hard to cock, dieseling. All of the concerns will subside after the break-in period, which for me was about 500 shots. The rifle will become much more accurate after break-in, and you find the correct pellet. For my rifle, I have found that the Crosman Premier Domed Ultra Magnum (10.5 gr.). My rifle also shoots the Crosman Premier Domed Lights (7.9 gr.) very well. The Crosman Ultra Magnums are less expensive, and pack more of a punch when it comes to pest control. It will easily take a large fox squirrel at 30 yards (open sights).

Things I liked: This is a decent beginner rifle. It has a bit of a kick, which I had no clue about when I got mine about 4-5 years ago. Mine has since died, and reasonably so. *WARNING* Do not leave it cocked for more than an hour! I left mine cocked for days, and it was fine surprisingly, however, I left it cocked for almost the entire reason and the spring was toast, and it now shoots with HEAVY VIBRATION, and at like 250 fps. No surprise, but I was about 10 when I got it, and knew nothing about this sort of problem. The scope it comes with is adequate for the air rifle's capabilities. Although, I was picking pear stems at 30 yards, with open sights, I'd say it was all luck as it does about a 2-3 inch group at that range from what I've heard.
Things I would have changed: Stronger stock. My stock shattered on me one day when I accidentally released the barrel before it was cocked. I know, my fault, but I think it snapped a little too easy.
What others should know: If you want to target shoot, hunt, or just plink cans in your background, this is an all-in-all very good gun, but on a beginner level. For the price, if you take care of it, you'll have it for a long time, and the squirrels and rabbits will hate you! Mine took one heck of a beating, and it was a good gun. I took a head shot on a bird, instant death at 30 yards... So yeah, if you got $120 to spend, grab it.

Things I liked: I bought this gun for my grandson to hunt with and he loves it. We had to replace the scope and rings so we replaced it with a BSA and some Leapers rings and used a drup compensator, so far a good choice. We shot a 500 tin of Premire HP pellets thru it and then went to some H&N Baracuda Match 10.65 grain pellets and now this gun never miss's.. The Trigger is OK once you get it dialed in and the stock on this gun is a beautiful piece of wood, its actually nicer than the stock on my Hatsan other than it has no checkering. I mounted a good sling on this gun because with the scope it is heavy, only a few ounces lighter than my Hatsan..
Things I would have changed: The Scope and rings
What others should know: We had to take the gun out of the stock and tighten every bolt and screw and use blue threadlocker and let it set 24 hrs. No problems since we did that..

I have a Black Hawk. Does anyone know where to get a wood stock for this gun, so I can essentially make it an air hawk?
You could contact Umarex at 1-479-646-4210 and inquire.
Which would be a good scope, not the more expensive one, that will work and last ,in a Ruger Air Hawk.? The one that came with the rifle in the combo , just broke apart 1 month after being used.
Your going to need a spring rated scope and i think leaper is going to be your best bet.
Is the Air Hawk's Barrel manufactured by Ruger or is it a standard Umarex?
Standard Umarex, the rifle is not made in a factory owned by Ruger.

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — Libyan-Americans in the Southland are speaking out against the attack on the U.S. Embassy in Libya.
"It's shameful; there's no other way to describe it," said Dina Duella, a Libyan-American who teaches at Chapman University in Orange.
The Muslim Public Affairs Council held a news conference Wednesday morning to condemn the violence, calling it animalistic behavior and a violation of Islam.
"There are times of war and times of peace. Ambassadors enjoy the protection of the country in which they exist," council member Dr. Maher Hathout said.
Initial reports blamed the attack on an anti-Islamic YouTube video called "Innocence Of Muslims". The Obama administration is looking into whether the attack was coordinated to take place on the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
"We pray that, as we move forward from the years since 2001, that we can have more compassion, more love and more fiercer connections not to spread more hate," Rabbi Joshua Levine-Grater said at the conference.
"The ambassador who was killed was revered in Libya. He was considered a champion of the revolution," Duella said.
Last year, Duella spent several months in Libya during the revolution. During her trip, she briefly met U.S. ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, who was slain during the attack.
Duella hopes to return to Libya, a country that she said is in desperate need of more security.
"This is the result of the larger issue of the political vacuum that is left in Libya, and the fact that there's no security. There's really no law and order," Duella said.
A local Libyan-American group said they would lay flowers at the Federal Building in Westwood in honor of the Americans who were killed Tuesday.

Teva to exploit new tax break, construct factory in Negev
Teva to exploit new tax break, construct factory in Negev
Haaretz - June 7, 2005
By Ora Coren
Teva Pharmaceuticals is considering building a new, $160 million plant in the Negev that would employ up to 1,500 workers, Haaretz has learned.
If Teva goes ahead with the plan, it would represent an early success for the new Law for the Encouragement of Capital Investments, which the finance and industry ministries recently hammered out in lengthy negotiations. Haaretz has learned that the new law is the reason Teva is considering building the plant.
However, a Teva spokeswoman denied that the company is planning a new plant in the Negev. She said that Teva attributes great importance to its existing Negev plant and will continue to make substantial investments in it, but it has no plans to build a new factory.
The relevant section of the capital investments law was designed to encourage large multinational corporations to make sizable investments in Israel's periphery - the Negev and Galilee. In exchange for such a company promising to hire several hundred workers in these areas, the law offers very large tax exemptions, including exemption from taxes on dividends. However, in contrast to the old version of the law, the government will not give the company grants.
Teva is one of the very few Israeli companies, if not the only one, that meets the criteria for this section of the law, known as the "strategic enterprise" track. To be a strategic enterprise, a company must promise to invest at least $160 million in a plant and have annual sales of more than $3.5 billion.
Industry sources said that Teva is considering building the factory in either Ramat Hovav or Mishor Rotem in the Negev. However, it is also considering various locations overseas. The new plant, which would manufacture some of Teva's latest drugs, would employ anywhere from several hundred to 1,500 workers during its initial years of operation - which, in the Negev, would make it a major employer.
Teva is already one of the Negev's larger employers through its subsidiary Teva-Tech, which makes active pharmaceutical ingredients (raw materials for the pharmaceutical industry). Teva-Tech currently employs some 400 workers at its Ramat Hovav plant. A month ago, Teva CEO Israel Makov said that the company plans to hire an additional 500 workers over the next five years and make investments totaling tens of millions of dollars in the Negev.
In addition to the possibility of a new plant in the Negev, Teva also plans to ask the Industry Ministry to fulfill a promise that the company says it made seven years ago: an extension of the tax breaks enjoyed by the plant where it makes its star product, the multiple sclerosis drug Copaxone, for another five years.
Teva received a rare document from the ministry giving it the status of a "pioneer enterprise," which entitles the recipient, after its seven years of tax breaks are up, to request a five-year extension. To be eligible for this extension, the company must have met its export and employment targets. But since Teva has, there would seem to be no reason for the government to refuse the request.

SOURCE: A review of House of Light, in The Bloomsbury Review, Vol. 10, No. 3, May/June, 1990, pp. 1, 28.
In the following review, Swanson finds House of Light to be a contemplative exploration of the paradoxes of nature to reveal the self.
We have come to expect images of the natural world in Mary Oliver's poetry: dark ponds and bears and lilies, deer, crows, and snakes. Never has the natural world been so pervasive as it is in her latest book, House of Light; never before have the human subjects—when they appear at all—been shown at such remove. Yet, each poem is a deep human cry, a search for a connection with nature that will relieve feelings of loneliness and isolation:
I saw the heron shaking
its damp wings—
and then I felt
an explosion—
a pain—
also a happiness
I can hardly mention
as I slid free—

From Ellenwood, Georgia, USA:
I am 48 years old, and I have had diabetes now for three years. At first I was only taking two pills a day, but now I am taking two shots of insulin a day along with Actos [pioglitazone], and Amaryl [glimepiride]. I also take medications for high blood pressure, cholesterol, thyroid, stomach, depression medicine, and a baby aspirin.
I have missed a lot of work, and my leave is down to zero. I never feel good. My sugar last month has not been over 180 mg/dl [10 mmol/L] in the morning,and before supper. Could I be considered for total disability from work?
I hear the frustration in your "voice". Sounds like the last three years have been very hard to go through. I would guess that you have not felt well for some time now and that can be very discouraging. Does this mean that you will always feel this way and need to consider disability? I would hope not.
For most people, with the right tools in place, diabetes can be managed and life can be enjoyed. Sounds to me like you need to seek additional help to achieve this.You do not mention if you are seeing a diabetes specialist and/or if you have a diabetes educator on your team to help you. If not, I think that is a good place to start. There is much to learn to live well with diabetes. Taking pills and insulin twice a day doesn't necessarily mean you have the right tools in place. Having the right medicines and insulins on board is very important but doesn't guarantee success if you don't know how to manage them along with your real life.
What foods do you like to eat? What does your blood sugar after eating tell you about those foods and the quantities you can eat? That's where a diabetes educator can help. If you do not have one, you can call the American Association of Diabetes Educators at 1-800-TEAM UP for a listing in your area.
Having diabetes is not easy, but it is possible to blend good diabetes management with a good and wonderful life. You just need the opportunity to learn how.

At just two years old, production company HeLo, founded by Managing Director Brendan Kiernan and Executive Producer Justin Moore-Lewy has made it a point to dive head first into the hairy types of productions not all are eager to touch. The company nabbed accolades for Bud Light's foray into experiential, the Super Bowl "Epic Night" campaign, directed by Jeff Tremaine, who then went on to team with Leo Burnett on Allstate's wild social media campaign campaign that saw the brand's devious Mayhem break into the house of a real couple and sell their stuff on the internet.
HeLo also teamed with Y&R New York and brought five of its directors to the ambitious 5x5 Film Land Rover campaignt. Each of the talents created a film using only five cameras placed inside the Land Rover LR4, a project that required the company to essentially turn the car itself into a camera. The films then went on to air at the Sundance Film Festival -- in the headrests of Land Rover shuttles roving around during the event.
Other standout projects include Beyond the Brick: A Lego Brickumentary and the Evil Knievel biopic from director Daniel Junge. Director Eric Kissack had the Cannes Lions Saatchi New Directors Showcase audience in stictches with his fantastic comedy short "The Gunfighter," a rollicking, ridiculously clever rethink of the traditional Western.

|The treacherous journey through man-made dams like the Lower Granite Dam (above) on the Snake River poses threats to the Salmon 'smolts'' existence. Natural predators and environmental hazards such as water temperature and habitat loss due to fire also threaten the smolts. Photo courtesy Army Corps of Engineers
Anadromous fish are those that begin life in fresh water, travel miles to the oceans to mature and return to their freshwater origins to spawn. Their travels take them up and down the Columbia, Snake, Kootenai and Clearwater rivers in the Pacific Northwest, a trip that many of them will not survive even under optimal conditions.
Temperature is a vital factor in the lives of these species, says Steven J. Wright, professor of civil and environmental engineering. Wright spent a sabbatical leave last winter term exploring options for control of the temperature in salmon streams and rivers with the National Marine Fisheries Service, the Bonneville Power Administration, and the Fish and Wildlife Service through the Boise Center of the University of Idaho.
Habitat decline and hydroelectric dams that provide power to states in the Columbia River Basin (Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington) have contributed to the diminishing number of salmon and steelhead. Now, recovery of the fish and other aquatic species in the area is threatened by one more factorfire.
|Salmon 'smolts' released from hatcheries travel down Idaho's rivers to the Pacific Ocean, only to return four years later to spawn at their birth site. Photo courtesy Army Corps of Engineers
Wright, who teaches courses in hydraulics and hydrology at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, looked at the consequences of managing the flow of cooler waters from the Clearwater River in order to improve survival rates in the summer when temperatures in the Snake River rise. Salmon, steelhead and other cold-water species die when water temperatures exceed 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit).
His computer models of temperature changes and the difference the cooler flow from the Clearwater River would make to the temperature of the rivers are the basis for an ongoing study that considers removing four dams on the Snake River, introducing the colder Clearwater River water, increasing the number of salmon released from hatcheries and controlling the salmon harvest.
There are lots of factors to consider in this commitment to preventing extinction of these salmon, Wright says. And every factor has a consequence. Breaching the Snake River dams would affect the power production in the region. Releasing colder water over the Dworshak Dam on the Clearwater River would lower the water temperature when temperatures in the Snake River rise above the danger level. But it also would further threaten the bull trout, already listed as a threatened species, which lives in the waters above the dam.
In addition, sudden onrushes of water have their own consequences, Wright says.
Fish that are beneath the dam when there is a release can die from an overdose of nitrogen. Water cascading over the spillway incorporates air bubbles and becomes supersaturated with nitrogen. The extra nitrogen remains in the water for some time, affecting fish as much as 100 miles downstream.
In effect, Wright says, they get the bends just like divers do when they surface too quickly.
Before modifications at dams on the Snake River, fewer than 15 percent of the smolts (young salmon and steelhead) survived the run. In 1977, Wright says, a dry summer combined with nitrogen gas bubble disease and fish caught in the dams turbines resulted in fewer than 1 percent survival of the smolts.
Breaching the four dams on the Snake River would return much of the river basin to its natural state, Wright says, but it also would release mud, silt and debris that has been trapped behind the dam, which also would kill fish as it made its way downstream.
However, dams have had the most negative effect on the biology of these areas, Wright notes. Migration of the young salmon to the mouth of the Columbia River used to be about 10 days. Now, it takes them about two months to make that same trip. Removing the dams also would increase the spawning area by about 70 percent for fall-run chinook salmon, but positive results would be tempered by the fact that the dams generate about 5 percent of the power in Oregon and Idaho. Locks on the Snake River, much the same as the Soo Locks in Michigan, allow transportation of goods such as wheat on the river.
Fires in the surrounding park and wilderness areas would probably have only a minimal short-term warming effect on the rivers, Wright says. But after the fires, when the rains come, he says there is more runoff and more erosion. After the fire, if the stream bank vegetation is destroyed, there would be more direct solar heating of the water. A lack of riparian vegetation is known to cause an increase in stream temperatures.
Wright based his studies on existing temperature data for the Snake River and graphed the water temperatures in warm and cool years, calculating the difference that adding cooler waters from the Clearwater River would produce.

TORONTO — Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry has a right wrist injury that could sideline him for an extended period.
Toronto coach Dwane Casey announced before the game against the Boston Celtics on Friday night that the All-Star guard would miss the contest after having X-rays and would have further evaluation over the weekend.
"That's a huge blow for us," Casey said. "I don't know how long he's going to be out. It's not going to be a one-day thing."
Casey confirmed Lowry was hurt in a victory over the Charlotte Hornets on Feb. 15, the team's final game before All-Star Weekend. Though the club thought the wrist would get better with rest and treatment during the All-Star break, that has not been the case.

What a day!Yesterday afternoon my fibro slapped me up side of the face and said, "Hello!Like it or not, I'm here." My pain level shot up through the roof and put me down in the floor. Guess it thought I forgot about having fibro. Like that's possible. I went to bed and slept, got up and had dinner with my darling hubby and then went to sleep some more. It's 4:30 and I've had two naps today – long naps of 3 or 4 hours each. Truth be told, I wouldn't have gotten up had I not had a phone meeting scheduled with my case advocate in my attorney's office. She was filling out even more forms for my Social Security Disability appeal. Alicia is my hero today because I think I would have pulled my hair out answering those questions if I had to sit down and fill out the SSD forms myself. Just talking to her was exhausting but I was so proud that the fibro fog didn't kick in and I was able to answer all her questions.We didn't even have to play the guessing game over what word I was trying to remember or anything like that. Sad that I'm excited about that isn't it? I forget what percentage of my back pay they get, but it's worth it just to not have to fool with it. She said they have a 96% success rate and I certainly hope I'm not one of the 4%. While I doubt I get any more money than I'm getting with my LTD insurance claim, it will be nice to have it done and over with.
My pain level is frustrating me so much as is the fatigue. The heat has been horrendous and I am staying inside as much as I possibly can. The heat has made the fatigue so much worse. Usually, I can work through the pain if I have to but there is no way to work through fatigue. If it was a life and death situation, I guess I'd be on the death side. My pain even with medication is up towards 10 today. It's time for another pain pill. I hate taking them because I know that I will eventually get to where I have to take stronger meds the more I take. But what do you do? Do you hurt and lay in bed or do you take the meds and have some sort of a life?
The myofascial pain has been awful for the last few weeks as well. The pain from my knees down has been the worse pain. My arms are tender to touch and sometimes I hurt my self just by scratching.< But my legs, oh my! On top of everything else I have severe edema and need to wear compression hose. Problem is, some times the CMP is so bad that I can't stand the compression hose touching my skin. When this happens, I normally can't stand the pain of putting them on. Even with the hose, my lower legs and ankles swell a lot. Without them, below my knee resembles a light pole – no calves, no ankles, just a round pole. And of course, they hurt so I spend my time with them propped up as much as I can.
On my two denials from SSD, they said that they believed I could no longer function as a paralegal or a secretary but that I could be a store clerk. Would someone please tell me, how I'm supposed to be a store clerk? I don't think I've ever been anywhere that the clerks could sit down and prop their feet up or take a nap when the fatigue was just too much. I'm also wondering if they think that store clerks don't have to remember things. One of my memory problems is that I can not retain what I learn.Teach me today and by Saturday, not only will I not remember how to do it, I won't remember you teaching me to do it. With that problem, how am I supposed to learn to run a cash register, store rules, etc.
I've often heard it said that SSD turns you down 2 or 3 times just because they think you'll go away and they'll save money. This Southern Lady ain't going away so they need to approve me and quit wasting everyone's time. I'm tired, I hurt but I'm not going away. I've worked hard since I was 17 years old. I've put in my time, and now it's time to get some of it back. I use to know someone who joined the Navy, got yelled at in boot camp and had a nervous breakdown. (I personally think he deserves an Academy Award for his acting but that's another story.) Last time I was in contact with this person, they were getting over $20,000 a year in VA benefits.If that BS can be approved, then SSD shouldn't have a hard time approving me.
I am climbing down from my soap box and rambling on to do something in the house. Until tomorrow folks may you pain be low and your spirits high.
