Some recent versions of NTP
These versions will run on 32-bit and 64-bit Windows, and are working for me. They were compiled with Visual Studio 2013 Express with options set to allow running on Windows XP SP3 and later, but they will not run on Windows 2000 - Windows XP SP3 or later is required. By default, VS2013 produces executables requiring Windows Vista or later, and Pentium SSE2 instructions, but these settings can be overridden and have been overridden in the versions offered below so that Windows XP SP3 is still supported. There is more information in this bug report.
You can see what versions are in current use on my systems here. The binaries below will work with OpenSSL between versions 0.9.8h and 1.0.1c, as installed by the Meinberg "Lennon" and "London" installs.
They are from the development branch of the NTP source, which means that they may contain new bugs or new features. The most recent is listed last in this list. Right-click, Save... to download. You take responsibility for using them, although I do try to test them for basic functionality here before release on Win-XP/32, Win-10/32 and Win-10/64 including some stratum-1 PCs. They should work on all versions of Windows from XP-SP3 and later. I assume that you know what you are doing if you use these versions - here is a very brief installation note. Caveat emptor!
The following versions will normally be the VS2013 tree compiled with Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Express (VS2013), using the "Run on XP" project settings. You may need the Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 from Microsoft, which you can download here if they are absent from your PC.
Stable versions
Loopback PPS provider
Development versions
Obsolete Windows 2000 compatible development version - not current so don't use!
You can find some GPS/PPS devices suitable for use with NTP here, and I've also used these with FreeBSD and Linux. There is a quick-start guide for the Raspberry Pi including PPS and configuration notes for NTP. My main Windows setup notes are here.
Jottings from the archive
Between NTP 4.2.7p349 and NTP 4.2.7p356, with VS2010, a small edit was required to two of the files which were incorrectly automatically generated. The fixes are described here.
Dave Hart has many more versions available in both release and debug versions, and
with symbols files - these may be downloaded here.
There are some notes on the updating process here.
My thanks for Dave Hart
for his help in getting the Windows compilation to work, and in providing the
appropriate version of the OpenSSL library. If you want to do the
compilation yourself, I have provided some notes here.
See what version my own PCs are running
PC Bacchus is a Windows 2000 PC, so it relies on versions which others have
compiled. PC Pixie is an Intel Linux system, and the Raspberry Pi cards are
ARM Linux systems,
so they may have a separate compile cycle. Unless it's a significant update,
I might only test on one Raspberry Pi system. They are all running the same OS
(Raspbian), but some run Wheezy and some Jessie. I find that the
Wheezy-compiled version runs on Jessie, but the Jessie-compiled version uses a
library which isn't available on Wheezy, so for now I compile on Wheezy and run
on both Wheezy and Jessie.

They may not be supermodels or hollywood movie stars, but the dogs at the Refuge often become the shining light in their new family's lives once they are rehomed.
Who could say no to a face like this?
I adopted a little blue cattle dog whose name was Whisper, but is now named Cerveza, in mid-March. Unsurprisingly, she is super energetic and loves going down to the beach at Freo twice a day…everyday - rain, hail or shine.
Hi everyone at the Refuge. Alamoe (Moe) has been excellent! We've bought him a clam with water in it and put it in the backyard, because we know that he loves water and he keeps cool in it on hot days.
Hello. I'm Leo and I have been with my new pack since Feburary 2007, after spending about 2.5 months at the Shenton Park Refuge.
I would just like to let you know how we are getting on with Cloudy who we adopted - he has really settled in well, as if he has been with us for years!
You'd swear it was springtime at the moment with the amount of puppies that have been around the Refuge - and there's still more to come!
To the kind people who look after the homeless dogs at the Shenton Park Dogs' Home.
Anton and Missy have settled in beautifully into their new family, so I thought it was timely for me to provide you with an update.
We all know how adorable puppies are, but often what we find cute characteristics when our dogs are still puppies are not so cute as they become older. Therefore, to help new puppy owners to teach their puppies good doggy manners, we are launching our Puppy Kindy course at the Refuge.

Earthquake offers chance to reconcile India and Pakistan
Sir - Rahul Bedi's report (October 10) on the impact that the earthquake in Pakistan might have on the chances of settling the decades-old conflict between India and Pakistan over Kashmir makes for interesting reading.
In the wake of last year's tsunami and the successful efforts, so far, to resolve the separatist conflict in Aceh, Indonesia, there is rightly some hope that the devastating human consequences of the earthquake in Pakistan might indeed offer a fresh opportunity to address the conflict in Kashmir.
Disaster diplomacy of this kind has also worked elsewhere: Greece and Turkey achieved unknown rapprochement several years ago when a similarly horrendous quake struck Turkey, and Greece quickly provided much-needed relief. Yet, little progress was made over Cyprus and territorial disputes between the two countries in the Aegean Sea.
Similarly, the success in Aceh is offset by the failure to approach a resolution of the conflict between the government in Sri Lanka and the Tamil Tiger rebels.
So the outlook for Kashmir is mixed at best: much will depend on both governments' sincerity to capitalise on the opportunities for peace available in the midst of human tragedy.
This will require Pakistan to take a tougher line on the militants who train on the Pakistani side of the line of control in Kashmir and who India claims continue to infiltrate its part of Kashmir even now. India, on the other hand, must resist any temptation to exploit the situation to its advantage and pressurise Pakistan in the ongoing peace efforts that have yielded some progress over the past year.
In the end, it will not be the short-term humanitarian gestures that will bring a stable solution to the conflict in Kashmir, but the sustained effort of both governments to achieve peace. In this, they must be supported by the international community, which has a keen interest in security and stability in this volatile region.
After all, Kashmir represents the coming together of three nuclear powers - India, Pakistan and China - and a confrontation between them would spell disaster much greater than that of the current earthquake. A man-made disaster, such conflict can be prevented. Perhaps the natural disaster facing India and Pakistan at the moment will ensure that the opportunity for a stable peace it offers is not squandered.
Prof Stefan Wolff, University of Bath
Sir - The earthquake that hit Quetta (in what is today Pakistan) in May 1935 killed more than 38,000 people in 30 seconds.
Included in those were many of the then British garrison. The remainder set to, to do what they could to rescue the buried and there were many acts of heroism.
There were then no sophisticated listening devices, but it was discovered that one Gurkha soldier, Rifleman Harkbir Tharpa, had acute hearing. He was in the end personally responsible for rescuing many entombed people, and was awarded the Albert Medal.
My family survived the earthquake and lived for some time in tents until we could join another garrison in Hydererbad.
P. G. Harrington, Chartham, Kent
Fluoride failings
Sir - Your article "Government presses health chiefs for more fluoridation of drinking water" (October 10) reported that water companies may be forced to add artificial fluoride to water supplies.
If the Government were really concerned about children's tooth decay, it would ensure that there are enough NHS dentists. Teeth need adequate calcium and vitamin D, which also benefits general health. These measures are much better than adding the toxic fluoride chemical to water supplies.
Medication should be prescribed individually according to need, not given to whole communities, with no control over dosage received. This goes against all medical ethics.
Ann Wills, Ruislip, Middx
George Eliot grabs you
Sir - A. N. Wilson's "World of Books" is a continual pleasure. I was delighted by his piece on Kingsley Amis (October 3).
I was once fortunate enough to spend a liquor-logged evening with Mr Amis on a Mediterranean cruise and, in the course of our conversation, he elevated George Eliot above Dickens on the very point that Mr Wilson discusses, namely the power to grab the reader.
David Stooke, Leigh-on-Sea, Essex
Replace inefficient road signs with in-car warnings
Sir - Monitoring equipment, both in and out of the car, could have benefits in other aspects of road safety (News, October 10).
It is possible that many road signs could be replaced by in-car warnings. A driver may better respond to an audible warning of a 30mph zone than a street-side sign that may be dirty, obscured by vegetation, "invisible" among other roadside clutter, or just missing.
Environmentally, it would be a great improvement to replace vast numbers of roadside direction signs, including those huge motorway signs that warn of an approaching junction at one mile and half-mile intervals, with in-car information, which could be in a choice of languages.
Colin Davis, Gosfield, Essex
Sir - I was alarmed to read your report that the EU is to force car manufacturers to install electronic vehicle identification chips in new cars.
As laws will need to be passed for this to come into force, can I suggest that these be referred to as the electronic vehicle identification legislation, or Evil for short?
Richard Dye, Dundee
Sir - May I suggest that an automatic visual display of the car's speed be shown in the rear window?
This would involve quite simple technology which would pyschologically inhibit speeding.
Robin Richards, London NW11
Cameron's appeal to Tory activists
Sir - In the past 48 hours, I have contacted more than 60 Conservative Party activists from two very different parts of the country.
One group is of volunteers and councillors in rural "safe Conservative" seats in south Cambridgeshire. The second group is of volunteers who canvassed with me when I stood in the Labour-held city seat of Birmingham Northfield last May, a seat the Conservative Party needs to win if it is to win the next general election.
In both areas David Cameron is the number one choice. More than 50 per cent of those in urban Birmingham and 75 per cent of those in rural Cambridgeshire would like to see him form the next government.
Vicky Ford, Balsham, Cambs
Sir - Only Cherie's sanctions would inhibit Tony Blair from signing up to the Cameron credo (Opinion, October 10).
But it is all motherhood and apple-pie stuff. David Cameron dodged the tough questions, such as the morality of the war in iraq and how to extricate ourselves from a worsening scenario there. Or how to repair damage done to our social cohesion by multiculturalism and uncontrolled immigration. Or the role of a judiciary apparently out of step with both people and government.
Michael Bright, Oxford
Sir - I worked for some years with David Cameron at Conservative Central Office.
At no time since 1993, when Tony Blair became Labour leader, have I had any confidence that the Conservatives were capable of winning a general election.
David Cameron can allow the party to break out decisively from the dismal vote share it has garnered since 1997. If he is chosen by the membership as leader in December, it will be the first time in a generation that the party will have chosen electability over ideology.
If Tony Blair and Gordon Brown think that he will be easy meat, they are in for a rude shock. Beneath his charm, there is a steely determination to win.
Patrick Rock, London SW6
Sir - David Cameron demonstrates a major philosophical error when he states "we must have faith in the social and economic benefits of the free market".
The enormous benefits of the law of voluntary exchange are not based on "faith", but on objective fact. The moral justification of capitalism lies in the fact that it is the only system consonant with man's rational nature, and that its ruling principle is justice.
D. S. A. Murray, Dorking, Surrey
Sir - David Cameron = Avid dream Con.
Ann Griffiths, Havant, Hants
Town centre mayhem
Sir - Last weekend we visited Worcester and stayed in the city centre. Worcester is beautiful, but my stay was ruined by gangs of young people yelling, shouting and tossing drink cans and litter on to the pavements and streets. A street cleaner followed them around, cleaning up after them. Young girls with bare, tattooed stomachs sat on ledges, smoking and shouting.
These gangs were threatening and I was frightened to walk into the cathedral plaza among these louts, and longed to have something with which to defend myself.
Next morning, I saw that the precinct area was covered with curry and rice. Litter and supermarket baskets lay around, and it seemed that a fight had been taking place using take-away meals as weapons.
When I described this horrific picture to others, they were surprised that I should be so distressed by the scene. Apparently such behaviour is the norm in the town centres of this country.
Local authorities have a duty to provide a safe, clean and pleasant environment for both residents and visitors and, if they do not have the powers or the resources to do so, then they must make this duty their priority and demand that government enables them to perform that duty.
Jane Hill, Torquay, Devon
Arresting tyrants
Sir - The French press is reporting that an international arrest warrant has been issued in Brussels for the former president of Chad, Hissène Habré.
Why has no such warrant been issued for Robert Mugabe, the Stalin-Hitler (or any other tyrant you like) of Africa?
Anthony Tucker, Tremons, France
Answering back
Sir - I phoned a credit card company on Friday on an 0800 number and was delighted when I was told, automatically of course, that, I could avoid waiting in the queue of 20: if I pressed "1", they would phone me back, but that would be in about 20 minutes and they would try only once.
In fact, I was phoned back within two minutes, so they got that wrong, but at least it was on the right side. This must be the ultimate answer (Letters, October 8).
Gordon Spooner, Woodford Green, Essex
Size matters
Sir - Great sadness has fallen across the male section of our pub. For many years, we have put pages of your excellent sports section in purpose-built frames above the urinals. This enables interested gentlemen to read your erudite writings while they perform their tasks, so killing two birds with one stone. The new business section does not have the same appeal.
John and Gaye Armstrong, Romsey, Hants
Sir - Congratulations on your new business section (October 10).
I no longer have to gallop through the business pages so that my wife can do the crossword and sudoku.
Ron Gaylor, Chelmsford, Essex
Long live the Queen
Sir - I am amazed that Charles Moore (Opinion, October 8) should consider Margaret Thatcher to be the greatest living Englishwoman.
With no disrespect to her, that accolade undoubtedly belongs to the Queen. She has given more than 50 years of selfless service to this country. Her Christian faith and steadfastness in every circumstance are an inspiration to all.
Marjorie Kiddle, Woking, Surrey
Christmas comes early
Sir - I was annoyed to see the first Christmas advertisement on television last week. Each year it arrives earlier.
Is this further proof of global warming?

Julia Roberts shows off youngest sons first baby photos on OprahNovember 20th, 2007 - 4:15 pm ICT by admin
Washington, Nov 20 (ANI): Julia Roberts gave the world a glimpse of her five-month-old son Henry by showing his photograph for the first time on The Oprah Winfrey Show.
The actress, who is married to cameraman Danny Moder, said that her elder kids, twins, Hazel and Phinnaeus, were born at 1:21 and 1:22 on November 28, 2004.
Two-and-a-half years later, Henry was born at 1:23 this past June.
"It just completed us. We're complete. We're a good five-some, Usmagazine.com quoted her, as telling Oprah.
"I have to say, little Henry's the sweetest child known to mankind. I think I can say that objectively, she added.
Revealing what life at the Roberts-Moder household was like, the Pretty Woman star said, "Everything that goes on has to sort of pass everybody's approval.
Danny and the kids, everybody has to want to go and be part of it or else it doesn't work. Moms know [what it's like] when you leave the house, and your kids are crying and saying, 'Don't go.' So I usually don't go, she added.
Roberts apeared on the talk show alongwith actor Tom Hamks to promote their upcoming film Charlie Wilsons War. (ANI)

Dying in Silence: A Study on Mortality-Morbidity Gap in India
Tripath, Tulika (1); Nathan, Hippu Salk Kristle (2) (2016). 'Dying in Silence: A Study on Mortality-Morbidity Gap in India' Paper presented at the annual conference of the HDCA, Tokyo 2016.
Self-reported morbidity i.e. measure of incidence of disease based on reported sickness has an element of subjectivity. This is so, as 'feeling of being sick' is characterized by adaptive preferences, health awareness and access to medical facilities for diagnosis of the ailments. Sen (2002) has argued along similar lines that an individual's assessment of their health—which is the "internal view of health"— is directly contingent on their social experience; socially disadvantaged individuals will fail to perceive and report the presence of illness or health-deficits. Hence, measures of morbidity at times produce wicked gradients with the better-off reporting worse health status than the poor. However, mortality or death, observe no such tendency. Unlike morbidity, mortality is an objective measure based on "external assessment of health" and it is higher for poor and lower for better-off. In India, there are evidences of regions where the reported morbidity is higher, yet the mortality is low and vice versa. For instance, Uttar Pradesh (UP) has reported morbidity of 102 per thousand, which is far below Kerala's figure of 251—the highest among States in India. However, in terms of under-five child mortality, Kerala has the lowest value at 16.3 whereas UP has the highest at 94.2 (2004 data).
This opposing observation in morbidity and mortality is a clear indication of lack of health-expectations in backward regions and underreporting of ailments resulting into a greater toll of death in the silence. Motivated from these evidences and from the fact that there is a dearth of literature on exploring the relation between morbidity and mortality in Indian context, this paper studies the difference between morbidity and mortality for Indian States.
Using data from National Sample Survey (NSS), the Indian States are classifies into four groups: (high mortal, high morbid), (high mortal, low morbid), (low mortal, high morbid), and (low mortal, low morbid).
In order to capture the difference in mortality and morbidity the study conceptualizes Mortality–Morbidity Index (MMI). MMI is given in the following equation:
MMI = Mt-Mb/2 if (Mt>=Mb)
MMI = (Mt+Mb)/4 if (Mt
(i) The best conditions; no mortality and no morbidity, i.e., when (Mt=0; Mb=0); then MMI=0
(ii) The worst condition (dying in silence); full mortality and no morbidity, i.e., (Mt=1; Mb=0); then MMI=1.
(iii) Intermediate condition (dying after full reporting); full mortality and full morbidity, i.e., (Mt=1; Mb=1); then MMI=0.5.
(iv) Intermediate condition (full reporting of illness, but no death); no mortality and full morbidity, i.e., (Mt=0; Mb=1); then MMI=0.25.
Properties of the MMI measure are evaluated through different axioms like normalization, monotonicity, and signalling. The axioms are briefed below.
Axiom N - Normalisation:
A measure of MMI should have a minimum and maximum; MMI ∈ [0,1]. MMI=0 is the 'best scenario', i.e., (Mt=0; Mb=0) or ideal or 'minimum reported illness, minimum death". MMI=1 is the 'worst scenario' i.e. 'death of silence', i.e., 'maximum death, minimum reported illness'.
Axiom M – Monotonicity:
A measure of MMI should increase with increasing mortality Mt. From (1) MMI increases with Mt as it has positive coefficient.
Axiom N – Signaling:
A measure of MMI should be sensitive to signalling by Mb. When Mb < Mt, increase in Mb must lead to decrease in MMI. This means a people are not dying silently but being vocal about the illness. One can prove (1) satisfies Signaling axiom.
An empirical illustration is carried out ranking the States of India as per MMI. The study further investigates the determinants of MMI by considering State's income, education, urbanization, and health infrastructure (physical and personnel) and policy variables. The results show that higher MMI is explained mostly by poor health infrastructure, poverty and illiteracy. This study concludes deriving policy prescriptions from the analysis to promote health conscious society which makes denizen capable to be free from escapable morbidity and premature death.

Having just been diagnosed with Ehlers-Dansol Syndrome, I am in need of an outlet to share my ups and downs. This may not be a daily blog, but I want to share. I am 34 yrs old and have been told I will live with chronic pain and chance of joint dislocation for the rest of my life.

New things
I have found a new recipe for Chicken with Black Beans for the Crop pot. I am really excited about it. It starts with frozen chicken breasts. I love that idea. I can never remember to thaw chicken breasts the night before.
4 frozen chicken breasts
1 can black beans (drained)
1 can corn (drained)
1 jar salsa
1 pkg cream cheese.
Put all but the cream cheese in a crock pot on high for 4 hours. Then put cream cheese in for last 1/2 hour.
I read all the reviews and they were all good. Some people said they had to add some flavor with red pepper flakes. They also said that the cream cheese cuts the spice some, but not the flavor. We shall see. I am pretty excited to test it out on the family tonight. A real dinner with actual real effort from me. Let's see how that goes. LOL.
I am also going to work on toilet paper roll albums. Sounds weird, but I am excited about it. Cheap way to make something for others. I think these might be fun little Christmas gifts. They seem to be really easy. I hope they turn out as good as I think they might. If they turn out good, I will post pictures tomorrow.
My house is getting cleaned up and organized a little at a time. I am really enjoying getting life in order. Living room, part of the kitchen and one bathroom finished. Scrap room is started, hopefully I will finish it today before starting on my project. Oh, my bedroom is finished too. That makes me exceedingly happy. It is nice to lie down and be in the calm of my room. As soon as my new body pillow comes, I cannot wait to sleep in there too. It will be so nice to sleep in the same bed as my hubby, again.
Life is good....maybe I should look for some of those shirts so I can remember that every day.

I have EDS, hypermobility type. I am 62 and have the diagnosis for 10 years. Best advice: get a really good physical therapist and have him/her design a home program for you to do to strengthen the muscles and ligaments around the joints. I also have a great rheumatologist that I work with. I have just stopped taking pain meds (Mobic) at his suggestion to see if that brings down my blood pressure that has spiked this summer (it was always very low) before my internist and cardiologist put me on blood pressure drugs. My rheumatologist and pt are my partners in the management of my EDS. My 2 sons are adults and no longer live at home so it is easier now than it was when they were young and (hyper)active. Find a team and a regimen that works. Also I was just diagnosed with sleep apnea and now sleep with a mask over my nose. The machine (I have only used for a week) has reduced the pain I feel in the am. Good luck, there are support groups, and drs researching the genetic origins of connective tissue disorders like EDS.ReplyDelete

First, this video from The Mighty's Youtube says a lot.
Text from the video:
I understand this too well, but 5 other reasons why I avoid eye contact...Someone asked my son with autism why eye contact is hard. This was his answer. My eyes can see very well... Most people seem to have to look long and hard to make sense of a picture. I can take in a whole picture at a glance. Each day I see too many little petty details. I look away to not get overwhelmed by a lot of little bits of information. I watch things that a teacher or person I listen to tells me to watch. This helps me concentrate on what I should be focusing on. I can search for a teacher's voice to try to focus on. I am academically learning best when I sit side-by-side with a teacher. A seat on the side keeps me focused on your voice and not on visual distractions. I'm assessing many sounds too. I have to erase some stimuli to access my answers to people's questions and meet their demands. I am sad when people think I don't like them. I love people.

Enactus|OU is a team of students who are dedicated to improving the lives of individuals and their communities through social entrepreneurship and innovation. Anyone affiliated with Ohio University can join in some capacity or another! We also are continuously pushing new projects through the pipeline and welcome anyone with a project idea.
On March 29th 2016, a team of four Ohio University students traveled to Washington D.C to participate in the Enactus Regional competition. The team consisted of Tommy Vetter (Freshman Entrepreneurship), Autumn Sprunk (Junior, International Business & Marketing), Lacey Rogers (2nd year, MPA) and Noha Al-Khalqi (Junior, HTC & MPA). Enactus is a world-wide student organization, which focuses on creating business projects that demonstrate a social impact on their community. The Enactus OU team presented our project— The Athena Mothers Initiative, which focuses on assisting single mothers under the poverty line through housing and job assistance. As part of the project, we applied for and received the Walmart Women's Empowerment grant. We also had the opportunity to participate in a career fair. It was a great experience where the team got valuable feedback to help take the project to the next stage. If you are interested in learning more about the Athena Mother's Initiative or becoming involved with Enactus, please reach out!

Current Projects:
Project Name: Athena Mothers Initiative
Project Description: 46.3% of female-headed households in Athens County with children under the age of 18 are living below the poverty line. The main challenges that these women face include: difficulty finding housing, food, transportation, and affordable childcare.Athena Mothers Initiatives aims to create a co-housing community that would host single mothers and their children, allowing them to live in for a specific period of time. This space will allow mothers to collaborate together and empower each other. The facility will create an environment that is safe for the children and will allow the women to gain the skills and experience they need without worrying about housing, childcare, or transportation.
Goal: Address the plight of single mothers who are with little to no economic independence.
Target Group: Single mothers living in Southeastern Ohio seeking to find a job or improve their job skills.
Project Name: Preserving Our Future
Target Audience: Families in Need, Local Farmers, Unemployed
Project Description: Project Preserving Our Future aims to decrease food insecurity and food wastage in the Southeastern Ohio region by dehydrating surplus, locally grown fruits and vegetables for consumption during the cold winter months. The business model of this project is focused on collaborations between local non-profits, businesses and community members. The positive externalities of this project include optimum utilization of farm production, employment opportunities and healthier communities. Enactus OU successfully solicited funds from the Campbell Soup Company and General Mills to work with the Athens Community Food Initiative to raise money to help address local hunger.

Self-healing is a very inspiring motivator, especially for people suffering from chronic illnesses or those who would not like to be involved in medical interventions with too many chemicals.
Homeostasis mechanisms of the human body are the basis of self-healing by which the maintenance of all life signs such as body temperature, blood pressure, blood sugar, etc. is realized. Owing to the homeostasis mechanisms, many pathological states, as long as they are not yet very serious, can be converted back to previous physiological states automatically or through certain simple and natural intervention. This kind of recovery force of the body is called Self-healing capability. All means to promote this kind of capability is called Self-healing therapy.
In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), "balance" is an alternative word for homeostasis, and there are many effective natural medical interventions which are used as the self-healing means. One could imagine that about one hundred fifty years ago, there was almost no Western medicine or Western medications in China. How did the Chinese fight against diseases up to then, as their population has grown to about 1.2 billion? The answer is very clear: three main traditional Chinese medical disciplines- acupuncture, herbology, and Qi-Gong therapy really do work.
Acupuncture is one external intervention, while herbology belongs to the internal intervention. Qi-Gong is a kind of therapy which activates the mind's force to threat or prevent illnesses, also called self-control intervention. These methods may be used in combination or in independent application.
Why do these disciplines of Chinese medicine work? It is easy to understand Chinese herbs - they contain natural ingredients which function like Western medications. Acupuncture is actually one of the physical therapies whereby through stimulation of reflex points or zones of the body surface balance of the body is recovered. Qi-Gong once was a mystery but has now been recognized. It includes at least two aspects: regulating the autonomic nervous system and relieving the stress by connection of the mind and the body. Practising internal Qi-Gong can thus help many visceral or stress-related disorders.
Acupuncture and herbology, however, are usually provided by doctors with professional training. For self-operated proposes, acupressure, also called massage on acupoints, is an ideal alternative method that has the similar functions as acupuncture. Also, Chinese Dietotherapy which combines daily food with some specific Chinese herbs is easily prepared by everyone who is interested in learning how to cook. As for internal Qi-Gong, it is not very difficult to be self-study and practice.
This book compiles nine handpicked, effective Chinese Self-healing therapies or exercises that have been taught in our workshops since 1990.
There are three levels of acupressure. For the beginner's level, certain acupoint prescriptions and simple manipulating methods for specific symptoms are provided. Each acupoint can be located visually from its illustration. For people who like to learn more, intermediate and advanced levels are provided. Chinese Dietotherapy is composed of two parts, the first is about tonics for most cases with deficiency syndromes and the second is for detoxification for most chronic diseases.
In addition, six internal Qi-Gong exercises are introduced. They are Relaxation Qi-Gong which promotes spinal relaxation and mental relaxation; Slim Qi-Gong for weight loss; Energizing Qi-Gong (also called "Eight Sections of Brocade") for re-energizing the body; Universal Qi-Gong for collecting and replenishing qi from the universe to the body; Fragrance Qi-Gong for attaining longevity and health; as well as simplified Yang style Tai-Chi Chuan which is renowned for coordination and balance of the body.
I believe this book will be a useful training textbook for all laymen or individuals seeking better health or more energy, as well as body workers or medical students who are interested in Chinese medicine. Learning can be done by an individual following this book or in group practices through workshops. However, it should be emphasized that not all human illnesses can be cured merely though self-healing methods. It would be wise to consult your doctors before starting any self-healing methods.
May Chinese self-healing methods contribute to the well-being of the whole human race!

Biking healthiest activities you can do- in order to mention mention, it is actually a great energy! Riding down the street with the wind inside your hair a good invigorating encountering. Biking is also great for transportation, especially in a big city environment. Why worry about taxis and subways for your requirements bike everywhere you in order to go and also have a great period? You can save money and get good exercise session. Maybe you are an adventurer and also don't value biking across town. A quick a-z on selecting core aspects of cooper tire dealers. You have mountains to tackle. Biking is still a good option and certainly a lot of fun! This article will focus on explaining learn between BMX and bikes.
As for tires, thin road bike tires require high pressures and offer less rolling and wind resistance. This makes them extremely fast on the road, but very unstable on loose dirt and trails. Additionally, it makes them less comfortable because they transfer the bumps as road to your bike and rider. Fatter mountain bike tires tight on tire pressure therefore more wind and rolling resistor. These traits allow them soak up bumps in trails and offer stability in rougher issues. It also makes them extremely slow while travelling causing the rider to work harder just to go slow.
The first is a road trike. Theses bikes have the typical "ram's horn" handle bars and thin tires. Tend to be two generally 2 types of road bikes, touring and racing. Touring bikes possess a more relaxed geometry allowing a practical upright riding position also as a third small front chain providing extra low gears. This eases pedaling effort when going uphill. A racing bike has and then cleans aggressive geometry that forces the riders back to be more parallel with the cloths line for the rules of aerodynamics.
BMX and mountain bikes are designed differently to get to know two different riding styles and terrains. They may appear similar, but within world of biking are usually on opposite sides of your spectrum. Mountain bikes are intended for rough terrain like rocks, hills, and dirt. Bikes can survive the tough elements and climb the forest with we. They contain wide tires and handlebars along having a shock absorption system and also that can have a comfortable ride even regarding the roughest geography. On the other hand, a BMX bike created more for agility and satisfaction. BMX bikes are formulated or racing and performing tricks. A BMX bike is not at all optimal for climbing mountains, but could possibly be great in a skate park or at work.
Do not scare of chase animals as this stresses those. If there is an animal before you, normally they is going to take off running down the road or hiking trail. Stop or slow down considerably to make them with regard to you get from the trail. They will do not move, gently prod animal out of your way by waving your arms or making several noises. Often just wiggling your wheel back and forth is enough. Avoid night riding when animals are feeding as this will stress these animals. It is their time!
Which means that we particularly admire and wholeheartedly support Kona's brilliant Africa Bike programme. It is a clever concept; Kona created bike which is suitable for that needs of African users. And a bike planned for to be tough enough for Africa works practically on the streets of one's average North american or European city. You can choose from them through their international network of dealers as well every two units sold to western buyers they give one to be able to Africa. Yet given to health visitors, midwives, small holders to obtain their crops to market and such.
Lastly, use your CO2 cartridge or a pump to function air to the tire therefore your mountain bike is now ready to get to the trails again. Great job! If you feel you should have a visual, pay a visit to YouTube with there being plenty of real life demos on the to look.


text: Mike01 1 Report post Posted 20 March 2017 (edited) NOW SOLD. Grunig +Elmiger XRS stock for sale. I bought this new from Edinkillie in April 2015 and it has seen only limited use. It is fitted with a cheekpiece that hinges upwards when the bolt is retracted, to allow a high cheek position, but that facility can be disabled if desired. It is also fitted with the after market Grunig Quick Adjusters for both the cheekpiece and the butt plate (priced new at £86 each). The stock is shown in the photo with a fullbore action, but the stock comes complete with an adapter to allow an Anschutz round action (1907 / 1913 and earlier) to be used (the adapter is priced new at over £100). I used the stock with an Anschutz 1813 action. The stock comes complete with the G+E instruction manual. The stock is, literally, in As New condition (my photography does not do it justice). I am looking for £1400 o.n.o. for the XRS stock and the Anschutz round action adapter together (I wouldn't want to split them up). (The butt plate assembly, handstop and bipod are not included. Nor is the rifle!) Thanks. PS if you're looking for further information about the XRS stock in general, please see Edinkillie's website..

Is the use of artificially sweetened beverages as effective as water for weight loss?
Disclaimer: The objective of this article is not to discuss the relative safety and "healthiness" of the consumption of various non-nutritive artificial sweeteners. What follows is an analysis of data that is presented in the present manuscript.
Currently there is a divide in the health and fitness industry regarding the use of various non-nutritive artificial sweeteners as opposed to simply consuming water for hydration purposes as well as overall weight loss. Although, most of the claims being made on either side are not only biased due to the general crowd they associate with but also due to anecdotal (personal) experience with either substance.
Because of this divide, Peters et al., 2016 decided to test whether or not there is actually any difference between the use of artificially sweetened beverages or simply water when undergoing a weight-loss program followed by a period of weight maintenance. The researchers recruited 303 participants to take part in an equivalence study (meaning all variables were the same apart from consuming artificial sweeteners or only water) for one year including a 12 week weight loss protocol followed by a 40 week period of weight maintenance.
The following is how they manipulated the variables:
Of the 303 participants, only 222 were able to complete the study. Both groups showed statistically significant weight loss and ability to maintain weight loss throughout the duration of the study. However, the group that consumed NNS had significantly greater reductions in total weight loss and had a slower rate of weight regain following the weight loss intervention.
When we look at variables such as weight circumference and subjective hunger, we again see that consumption of NNS seems to reign supreme.
So what does it all mean?
As it seems, the use of artificially sweetened beverages may provide serious benefit when looking at total weight loss, reduction in weight regain, and levels of subjective hunger when under calorie restriction.
Important Considerations
Considering the nature of this study, there are some things to be concerned about:
Personal Experience
Based on my personal experience, I am an avid proponent of the use of artificial sweeteners. During my various bouts of weight loss attempts, the use of artificially sweetened beverages (Vanilla Coke Zero) has benefitted me greatly in terms of reduction in hunger, so far as I've gone to the length of attributing success solely to the use of them.
The bottom line
The present study seems to indicate that the use of artificially sweetened beverages may be superior to solely using water when undergoing both a weight loss regimen and weight loss maintenance period. Again, it must be noted that the use of these substances should be entirely based on subjective experience. However, the data does seem to indicate that the suggestion to solely use water as a means of aiding weight loss is misguided and may actually prevent you from losing weight and keeping it off. The use of artificially sweetened beverages seems to provide significant benefit in terms of total weight loss and the reduction in hunger.
Funding agencies: The study was fully funded by The American Beverage Association. The American Beverage Association was not involved in the design, conduct, interpretation, or manuscript preparation of this study. Furthermore, a third‐party organization (Biofortis‐Provident) was hired at the PIs' request. Biofortis‐Provident audited data at both clinical sites to check for the accuracy and integrity of the data.
Peters, J. C., Beck, J., Cardel, M., Wyatt, H. R., Foster, G. D., Pan, Z., … Hill, J. O. (2016). The effects of water and non-nutritive sweetened beverages on weight loss and weight maintenance: A randomized clinical trial. Obesity (Silver Spring, Md.), 24(2), 297–304. http://doi.org/10.1002/oby.21327

Zain Khan shines in fun film 'Hari Puttar' (Hindi Film Review - Rating: **)September 28th, 2008 - 3:48 pm ICT by IANS
Film: "Hari Puttar: A Comedy Of Terrors"; Cast: Zain Khan, Swini Khara, Sarika, Lillette Dubey, Jackie Shroff, Vijay Raaz, Saurabh Shukla; Director: Lucky Kohli and Rajesh Bajaj; Rating: ** A child accidentally left behind alone at home tries to protect his house against two funny criminals - does this ring a bell? You guessed it right, "Harri Puttar", which Hollywood studio Warner Bros alleged was a copyright violation of their "Harry Potter" franchise, is also a copy of popular Hollywood movie "Home Alone".
While Macaulay Culkin deals with two ordinary burglars trying to break into his house, Zain Khan, who plays the title role in "Hari Puttar", tries to stop the two criminals from entering his house.
The difference between the original and "Hari Puttar" is that in the Hindi version the two prowlers are not eyeing valuables in the house - they are after a chip that has valuable information saved on it.
Also, Hari is not alone in the house. He has his cousin Tuk Tuk (Swini Khara), who has asthma, for company - again the idea is stolen from the Jodie Foster starrer "Panic Room" in which Jodie was cooped in a room with her daughter, who suffers from Type 1 diabetes.
Just like Macaulay, Hari too sets up the same traps using household items and befriends a scary old man who comes to his rescue in the climax.
Sarika, who plays Hari's mother, seems to be a perfect replacement for Catherine O'Hara, who played Macaulay's mom in the original. However, the actress fails to play the role as convincingly as Catherine did.
Despite being a copy, the film is entertaining, especially the second half - when Hari thwarts the two criminals' attempts to enter his house.
Vijay Raaz and Saurabh Shukla as the comic criminals are funny, but it is talented Zain who shines as the protagonist. He is as good as Macaulay.
Lillette Dubey and Jackie Shroff look like extras in the film.
Children, who have not seen "Home Alone", will have fun watching the movie.
Set in London, the film revolves around 10-year-old Hari Prasad Dhoonda (Zain Khan) or Hari Puttar, as he is fondly called.
Hari's father (Zakir Khan) is a professor and has been assigned to work on a secret project at a remote location in Britain. So Hari moves to that country with his father and mother (Sarika).
Hari's father has access to confidential information stored on a chip and safely kept at his house.
Within days of their arrival in London, Hari's aunt (Lilette Dubey) and uncle DK (Jackie Shroff) visit them with their children. The kids of DK's boss also accompany them.
Now, accommodating so many children in the house becomes a problem. At one point everything goes for a spin for Hari - not only is he thrown out of his room, he is also ragged and ridiculed by the other kids.
He in fact wishes that all his family would simply disappear, a wish that comes true.
The film has flaws, but directors - Lucky Kohli and Rajesh Bajaj have been successful in their endeavour to elicit laughter and entertain kids with the film.

Where do cowboys cook their meals? On the range! This week on the Joshua David Stein Variety Hour… Half Hour, host Joshua David Stein is headed west, talking about cowboy chefs with guest Kent Rollins, an acclaimed chuck wagon cook. With a restored 1876 Studebaker wagon, Kent and his wife Shannon travel across the country catering for weddings, corporate events and heritage festivals while preserving a part of America's history. He is also the author of "A Taste of Cowboy: Ranch Recipes and Tales from the Trail," which is released April 7, 2015, and notably came out victorious on Throwdown with Bobby Flay. Kent shares great highlights of his amazing career and a sneak peak of techniques and recipes from his book before telling Joshua his favorite cowboy meal to cook. After the break, Joshua welcomes musical guests Paper Anniversary, also known as Katherine Slingluff and Andy Stuckey, to sing a few country/bluegrass/Americana inspired tunes. Click here to check out their newest release. This program was brought to you by White Oak Pastures.
"Most of all, it's [cowboy cooking] about simplicity. It's about not having to go to the store. You can reach in your pantry and find most the stuff that's in this cookbook." [1:33]
"You get into that chuck wagon, which is the first meals on wheels ever invented, you know, you folks here in New York, ya'll got food trucks but I've got the original food truck." [3:52]

My Treasured Sea Glass
(Originally posted on my CaringBridge page on 1/30/13)
Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art … it has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that gives value to survival.
C. S. Lewis
I've always been intrigued by the powerful allure of sea glass. Though the shimmering, delicate beauty of the colors is hypnotic, my fascination lies more in the mystery of its origin . . . the story behind each unique piece. Each frosted gem has been transformed, worn smooth from years of tumbling through the sea's natural sandblasting action, tides, waves, and currents. Over a decade ago, I even began a "love affair" with a novel engrained on my heart—sea glass being at the forefront (one of many bucket list adventures I someday hope to check off!) Finding treasured sea glass along the shore reveals the elaborate, unique characteristics in each piece—all beautiful … whether transparent or opaque, individually carrying with it from its journey….a story.
I think of all the many people who have drifted into my life, whether for a season or a lifetime—amazing pieces of sea glass in the form of relationships I've cherished and friendships that stand the test of time. All have stamped yet another memory, experience . . . adventure to my passport of life.
Moving around quite a bit growing up has always made it hard to answer the question: "Where did you grow up . . . where were your roots laid down?" My sister and I have often had conversations about this very thing. Though we have occasionally coveted those who have only known one home town their entire life, we much more value the depth of experience and relationships that may not have been as rich for us, had familiarity and comfort in one place set the tone of our childhood. In truth, we've always had roots—only instead of being planted in a "location," they were deeply planted in the love for each other—closely bonded through the changes and challenges new situations and experiences presented.
These days I've been in awe, marveling at the beautiful "sea glass" in my life. Like the best pieces of beach treasure, many of you truly sparkle in the light.
Tonight, I found myself crying (in joy) yet again . . . from my mailbox treasures. These beautiful, heartfelt cards arriving in the mail—are not only giving me cherished moments of encouragement for today, but future rainbows for tomorrow . . . little reminders of God's promises for my life. I am saving each note and card to place in a special, (beautiful) mosaic box I hope to one day soon create with sea glass from a beach-combing adventure.
I am beyond appreciative . . . all the time spent checking in on me, the texts, the notes here on CaringBridge, e-mails and beyond generous gifts have brought me to tears—allowing me to feel the love of my treasured relationships both new and old, giving value to my survival (thank you C.S. Lewis for your eloquence)! Words alone can never express what my heart has felt through your thoughtful actions and genuine love.
Let's face it, we all start out as shards of broken glass . . . wildly tumbling through the sea of life, and only through the refining process of turbulence in the storms, even crashing on rocks and coral—do our edges become smooth—our story become meaningful.
Isaiah spoke of the potter and His clay: "Yet You, Lord, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand." (Isaiah 64:8)
God uses His clay made from dirt . . . his shards of glass tossed at sea, to do an amazing work in each of us. It is only in the fire . . . or the raging storms where we can truly be refined, edges smoothed out, vessels shining—for His greater purpose.
As for my beautiful sea glass . . . THANK YOU ALL for washing up on my shore . . .
Nina Speaks . . . and I'm Feeling Good
(originally posted on CaringBridge on 1/28/13)
Birds flyin' high you know how I feel . . . Sun in the sky you know how I feel . . . Breeze driftin' by you know how I feel—It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me, and I'm feeling good.
~ Nina Simone
Feeling Good is one of those cool songs that when you're feeling really bad, it's got medicinal properties to pick you up and when you're feeling really good, it lifts you up higher. Nina Simone always executes that powerful cry for freedom in her music that just shouts . . . Whatever this world throws at me I am still blessed and refreshed because this world can't take away my inner freedom.
This week marks week 4 of chemotherapy . . . only 16 more weeks to go. There was actually a faint, initial excitement typing the word only until I looked at it a second time . . . then suddenly my mental energy was completely focused on the word – more. The focus shifted to: "What? 16 MORE weeks to go? Seriously?" In truth, this is the easy part of the journey, so I will stick with my optimistic sing-songy attitude "YAY, only 16 more weeks of chemo!" Actually, let's scratch sing-songy and go with raspy-jazzy-Nina-Simoney. I'm Feeling GOOD.
In terms of side effects—overall, my body has done very well so far. I have heard horror stories and read of people who really fight a brutal battle with the nasty side effects of these life-saving poisons. Therefore, I try not to focus too much on my trivial physical "ailments"— as I'm aware it could be so much worse. In short, I have had moments of extreme fatigue and many more moments of abdominal pain and malaise, but no signs (yet) of neuropathy in my fingers and toes which I've been instructed to "expect"—a numbness and tingling that often makes certain tasks more difficult. As for my hair situation, my scalp has become very tender, sort of like that feeling I used to get as a little girl when wearing my hair in a ponytail all day—once that elastic came out at the end of the day, it was sore and tender to the touch. This sensation, so I've been told, is the forboding of hair on its way out. It has been gradually thinning a bit . . . mostly showing up in the shower, but nothing unmanageable or overtly noticeable. I'll know when it's time to shave the head, and will make no bones about embracing the buzzer when the moment does present itself.
Another newer, more pronounced side effect I've had going on . . . joint pain. I know people who struggle and suffer with debilitating forms of joint pain, including Fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis. My heart breaks for those living with thisdaily and I truly sympathize—what must be torturous day in and day out. Now I'm not suddenly claiming to be an expert in pain by any means, but feel there is a tiny part of me that can trade my sympathy for literal empathy. Though I have not walked a mile in the shoes of people in chronic pain, this past week I've experienced a noticeable, constant sense of joint pain. One night, mid-sleep, it came out of nowhere and almost felt like there was a little sledgehammer banging by bones from my shoulders down to my feet—a little demolition taking place throughout my body. The thought of people living with this constantly, makes my life look like a walk in the park on a perfect day.
Saturday marked exactly one month since my official diagnosis. If I sit on that thought too long, recalling that day . . . it's quite possible that the neuropathy I spoke of may actually be starting in my brain—a numbing sensation that still grazes that fine line between fiction and reality. Is this all just a dream? Unfortunately the answer would be a flat out: No. But fortunately, I know my summer's on its way. John Steinbeck wrote it perfectly in his book, Travels with Charley: "What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness."
In the meantime, during my cold days of winter, I can say like the Psalmist, David who trusted God beyond anything else . . .
Your righteousness, God, reaches to the heavens, you who have done great things. Who is like you, God? Though you have made me see troubles, many and bitter, you will restore my life again; from the depths of the earth you will again bring me up. (Psalm 71:19-20)
Staying Gold in my Winter Season
(originally posted on my CaringBridge page on 1/26/13)
Seize upon that moment long ago … one breath away and there you will be … so young and carefree … again you will see, that place in time—So Gold
~ Stevie Wonder
Being a music lover . . . everything from Gospel to Jazz, there are certain songs that move me in a way, releasing a level of intimacy in the core of my soul that is hard to even express in words. When reviewing a discography of a magnificent legend like Stevie Wonder, it's difficult to find one song that doesn't move you at some level. However, one of his least "famous" songs moves me in a way that few songs ever have or will: Stay Gold. The song was originally written for the memorable Francis Ford Coppola movie, based on the coming-of-age novel by S. E. Hinton—The Outsiders.
Michelle joined me on my trip into Dana-Farber this week, and let's just say . . . we livened up the joint—double trouble in the infusion room, (pretty typical of any outing we undertake together). We were our naughty selves . . . laugh-crying in hysteria over things that certainly lightened the heaviness of the environment. I was blessed. She was my little slice of Gold in the moment.
I guess my love for Robert Frost and his brilliance kept me company all week, as I pondered yet another poem from memory that always visits me from time to time over the years . . . Nothing Gold Can Stay.
Nature's first green is gold, her hardest hue to hold. Her early leafs a flower; but only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, so dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay.
Ahhhh. The poem may read almost depressing at first glance, but in fact . . . though the delicate, early golden leaves of spring will turn green, spring turns to summer, dawn will turn to day, youth becomes maturity . . . you can still hold on to the wonder, the "goldenness" of memories and moments, staying gold through each season's changes. We will find a blessed increase if we embrace the cycle of flower, leaf, bud, fruit—into the full life that includes loss, grief, and change.
…for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through Him who gives me strength. ~ Philippians 4:11-13
This is my season of change . . . a winter season where the gold of spring may seem buried, but I can still ponder and reflect on all that I've been blessed with. I have truly learned to be content only in Him who gives me strength. When my content takes a downward turn to sorrow, I need remember to Stay Gold.
. . . Life is but a twinkling of an eye yet filled with sorrow and compassion . . . though not imagined, all things that happen will age too old—Though Gold
Miles to go Before I Sleep
(originally written on my CaringBridge page on 1/22/13)
. . . The woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep, and miles to go before I sleep.
~ Robert Frost
Sleep. That simple 5-letter word, wildly underestimated until you're getting very little of it. Sleeeeeep. Often something I've been reluctant to do, but don't want to stop after I've started. Lately, sleep has become that simple yet complicated word that's constantly on my mind . . . especially during the hours that I wish I were visiting its happy, sleepy place. Oddly, it is during the moments of heavy fatigue, an exhaustion I've never experienced before, that sleep is so desired—but not found.
Growing up … and maybe even in recent days . . . certain music often puts me into "movie-mode" (Michelle's roaring out loud right now, because only she totally gets what I'm talking about), when the music becomes a background score to my own life soundtrack. As kids, traveling on long road trips, we would be in the back of the car, with our headphones on, dreamily glancing out the window—the music bringing us into our individual, private utopia. Tonight, I went there—movie-mode . . . only instead of music beckoning me into my movie, it was the peaceful blanket of snow lingering on the trees out my back window that became my life's score. It was beautiful.
There I was, "Stopping by the Woods on a Snowy Evening"— trapped in a Robert Frost poem. The outward simplicity of this 16-line poem brought so much depth to my movie moment. Like the narrator, lately I find myself often yearning to linger in the quiet solitude of isolation . . . the darkest night, watching the snow fall. In the poem, only through the resounding bell of the horse's harness, does the narrator finally get jolted to remember the many promises he has to keep . . . miles to go, no time to give up.
Thank you, Lord for reminding me of your promises. I choose hope, knowing that I have many miles to go before I sleep . . .
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
(Jeremiah 29:11)
Unconventional Therapy with a German Shepherd Named Miles
(originally written on my CaringBridge page on 1/19/13)
If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant. ~Anne Bradstreet
Thursday marked my second treatment at Dana-Farber. The late afternoon infusions work out well because not only can I work most of the day, the entire atmosphere at DFCI is quiet & relaxed.
I was blessed to have my mom come with me this week, and my prayer beforehand was that everything would be seamless—from driving in, parking, to overall ease of the treatment process. I really needed her there with me early on this journey, so her mind could eliminate any scary, pre-conceived notions that often come with the idea of chemotherapy. It was just as I had hoped for . . . drama-free. Actually, we even had 10 minutes to spare upon arrival, so we popped into the boutique where my wig was waiting to be picked up. They brought us out back and I tried it on for her . . . she was amazed at how natural it looked—exactly like my hair, fresh out of the salon. I laughed at the idea that soon, I could eliminate "bad hair days" for a while from my life. Glass half full thought of the day.
My anxiety level was considerably reduced this week before treatment because I knew what to expect, confident in knowing how my body handled it last time—the likelihood lessoned of an anaphylactic response this round. My nurse heated my arm in advance, helping to ease the pre-treatment Benadryl pain. He will also be gradually decreasing the amount each week, as I prove to tolerate the drug more and more. Fighting the grogginess from Benadryl and the high from the steroids makes for a "unique" slumber experience (or there a lack of).
Arriving home late on a school night, I was unable to spend time with the boys. Instead, waiting for my arrival was my other boy, my "angel nurse dog," Miles who anxiously greeted me with kisses and love.
Miles', our German Shepherd is now referred to as my angelic nurse dog, because he's glued to my side whenever I'm home, checking on me all through the night, and if tears are ever present on my face, he licks them away. He's got a level of intelligence and heart revealed in those beautiful eyes that blows my mind. God knew in advance, how much I needed his companionship during this time . . . and I'm blessed to have a furry prince to add to the "court".
Though I felt depleted of all energy, Miles carried on a "Chewbacca" conversation with me for 20 minutes, tilting his head back and forth, as I snuggled in a blanket watching him. I knew he was eager for some Miles/mommy time that we relish each day—usually consisting of lots of outdoor exercise and play, but sadly it was not physically possible for me. I know he's "just a dog," but he honestly seems to get it, and he came over to me, gently motioning his head toward the dining room, nudging me along. I got up and followed him.
There, we did laps around the dining room table, me following his lead. It was honestly hilarious—a YouTube moment to behold for sure. He started us off walking. Next, a slow jog …then into a sprint. He'd look back at me periodically, making sure I was keeping up. We must have done 150 laps before we were done. It was amazingly therapeutic.
Though my steep climb just begins on this uphill venture, I am blessed beyond words for the "cream" that has risen to the top of my relationships. I am so grateful for the AMAZING people in my life who have gone above and beyond to support me, love me and encourage me. The generosity of each of you is overwhelming . . . truly overwhelming. You are loved beyond words.
A Mind Resting in Eden
(originally posted on my CaringBridge page on 1/15/13)
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
~ James Dean
Have you ever woken from a deep sleep with a face ingrained in your mind? Confused for a moment, not quite recalling what you were dreaming about, but knowing it had something to do with this face. Often times this face is someone you know who's been heavy on your heart, or maybe someone you've recently encountered. Sunday morning I woke up with a face fixed in my mind of someone I've only ever "met" through pictures and films—James Byron Dean. Not sure why exactly? . . . I mean, I haven't been thinking about him lately, haven't seen one of his films recently. Anyway, there it was . . . his beautiful face.
We've always referred to our oldest son, Colby as an "old soul," incredibly wise beyond his years. When he was three years old, his favorite movie was It's A Wonderful Life, and he earnestly remained captivated, even during parts of the film that would likely bore even the most passionate Jimmy Stewart fans. I, too, was one of those "old souls," a girl before-my-time. While many girls were donning posters of Rob Lowe and Patrick Swayze on their bedroom walls in the late-80s, it was not uncommon for my walls or bookshelves to include black & white images and books of actors such as Montgomery Clift, Audrey Hepburn . . . or more significantly, James Dean. I was especially enamored with him. Recalling my fancy over this complex, young actor—who came and went before my time, I began to think about one of my favorite reads of all times . . . John Steinbeck's, East of Eden. James Dean's face brought this book to mind, as I was reminded of his infamous role as Cal in Elia Kazan's film based on this haunting novel.
As a lover of literature, I read this book at a fairly young age and reread again later . . . at the time never exploring the depth of my own human condition. Cal was symbolic of Cain in the Bible, and like all of us, he had free will to decide between good and evil. Choice. Just as each character in East of Eden faced—so does, ultimately, every human being. This same free will that we've been given, even blessed with, applies to every aspect of our lives…and at times it can be really hard to choose responsibly, especially in the realm of the mind, when the bad creeps in at your weakest moments.
This past weekend, I got to enjoy a wonderful "date" weekend with my three little princes. The good stuff came with: snuggling by the fire w/a movie & popcorn, watching magician, Logan perform his latest card tricks, laughing with Lance as we read through a great book, and getting goose bumps, listening to the latest story Colby wrote in his journal . . . and then church Sunday followed by a fun, "mom & guys" brunch afterwards. Good times.
The bad stuff found a way in too, looming in the always active mind. It can quickly become a vestibule of doubt, worry and fear—closing in when you least expect it. It usually presents after a long day of distracted fun, perhaps in the middle of the night, when everything else appears peaceful yet lonely. My mind visited some unwelcomed destinations. I won't share them, but I will tell you how much I thought about the significance of mothers. Being one. Having one. Loving many. I thought about my mom who is tangled up in her own web of worry—over a daughter who is ill, over her own mother, struggling with leukemia, and seemingly in a downward spiral …blood transfusions more often than not. It saddens me to the core to know how much heartache my mom is no doubt dealing with.
If you're not careful, when it's left to its own device, the mind becomes a filthy watering hole, "corrupting" your being with negativity and lies.
I love the line early on in East of Eden when John Steinbeck writes: "I always found in myself a dread of west and a love of east."
You can love the east for the light that every morning sunrise brings or sigh at its reminder of another hard day's work ahead. You can dread the west for the darkness that every sunset creates or relish it for the colors that linger on the horizon. Basically, we can choose to wander east or west . . . not always finding what we're looking for.
As for me, I so long to rest my head in Eden, allowing paradise to guide my heart and mind.
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. (2 Timothy 1:7)
No Pain, No Gain
(originally posted on my CaringBridge page on 1/12/13)
"I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much."
~ Mother Teresa
Oddly enough, I'm someone who enjoys the victory pain associated with a tough workout. When I feel my quads aching while walking up a flight of stairs and the general feeling that I've kicked some real "glute" at the gym, it's a "comforting" reminder that my reward is coming . . . progress is being made.
Wednesday's first chemo session went well … and as of today, I physically feel GR-R-REAT. I know that's an excellent report and I should be doing a little hallelujah dance right now, but the sad truth is, I psychologically long for that physical assurance that "my reward is coming." Basically, I want to feel the tangible pain of progress. Yes, I now give each of you permission to remind me of this foolish philosophy on week 18 of treatment, when I will most likely long to feel like Tony the Tiger again.
I got a call Thursday, telling me I do NOT need another biopsy for the trial! To say I was thrilled with those words would be an understatement. I was assured that I'm still being researched in the clinical trial, but after reviewing all the information with my oncologist, the researchers indicated another biopsy would not be necessary. One less distress. <Sigh of relief>
Genetic Testing: The results came. All results were negative. Though "negative" in the realm of cancer always seem positive, I've been told that there is still so much work being done on genetics that it's hard to feel "secure" in the findings. Although the BRCA gene test (which tests specifically for breast cancer) can detect the majority of mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, it's still possible that you could have some type of gene mutation that the tests weren't able to detect, and/or one that researchers haven't yet identified and developed a test for.
Please don't misinterpret this as a "Debby Downer" moment, but rather an expression of caution in validating these results as "great news." The fact is, I still have breast cancer and feel the very real need to advocate for my family — to be vigilant in testing, self exams and even potential genetically linked cancers for my own children. This doesn't mean I plan to live in fear, but rather live with shared knowledge… knowledge that gives confident power in caring for our bodies.
Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. (Hebrews 11:1)
Faith is what keeps me going and keeps me secure in knowing that regardless of my physical state, good or bad…my hope can only be found in one source . . . Moment by moment . . . new mercies He shows.
