Throughout your child's life, cells continue to divide and make copies of themselves. These new cells help them grow or they replace older cells. However, if something goes wrong when the cells are dividing, an abnormal cell may be produced. When this happens, the cell usually destroys itself.
Cancer cells
Sometimes abnormal cells continue to divide, producing more abnormal cells. In some cases, they divide and grow faster than normal cells. Cancer is the name given to an abnormal growth of malignant cells.
'Malignant' means that the abnormal cells have the potential to spread to other parts of the body if they are not treated. You may also hear the word 'malignant' being used to mean cancer.
Solid cancers or tumours
This is when a lump forms because the cells in a particular part of the body, such as the bones, muscles, brain or lymph nodes, have divided and multiplied abnormally. Not all tumours are cancerous. If your child has been diagnosed with a 'benign' tumour, this means it is not cancer. A benign tumour doesn't have the ability to spread to other parts of their body and it will only start causing problems if it grows too large and interferes with how their body works.
However, malignant tumours do have the ability to spread through the body. The abnormal cells can break away from the lump and begin to grow in another part of the body. The cancer is usually classified by how far the cells have spread (their stage) and how abnormal they look under the microscope (their grade).
Leukaemias occur when the blood cells divide and multiply abnormally. The most common types of leukaemia in young people, acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) and acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), are named after the white blood cells that are affected by the cancer.
Lymphomas occur when the cells of the lymphatic system divide or multiply abnormally. This can produce large lumps in the lymph glands, which are located in the neck, groin, under the armpit and throughout the body.
For more information about particular cancers, see our types of cancer section.

This is going to be a short post. But a very important post. I don't want to bore you with all the details. And me not has the energy or strength to say as much as me wants. But here's the short version. Pretty much everyone agrees me has ALS even tho the neurologist can't or won't officially say so until me has a few more tests just in case. I'm on the feeding tube and pump now and it's helped, so has the hospital bed. There so much trouble trying to get the eyegaze device for communication and I'm almost completely unable to type. Soon me won't be able to at all. It's sad because me has not been able to communicate most my life and now that me learn words mine body isn't able to share them. Me got a nice power wheelchair but can't get proper supports for it for my head/neck and such until has officially diagnosis. The insurance has been working with the state to get me more care at home, it's not a easy or fast process. They find a place to accept me for some homecare, but then the place try to give me less than was approved. The thing is we know that I need 24/7 care, even at night mostly to help position so not gets more bedsores and to keep from choking on my saliva. But a nursing home isn't the answer. None of them are trained to work with all my challenges. I have neurological differences, mental illness, and severe physical challenges. Plus if me gets sent to a home they will just make me lay in bed all day and not can get my eyegaze device so not will be able communicate or even watch tv. And when me needs a tracheotomy tube for breathing it won't be a option. Me will have to die because nursing homes can't provide the 1:1 care needed for that. So Cheetos made a gofundme to try to raise money to keep me at home. If you can read it and maybe share or even donate a dollar that'd be super awesome. Me will try typing more a different day, but it maybe a while. https://www.gofundme.com/tiggys-mobility-fund

Beauty in my autistic world
We know there can be so many problems with having autism and trying to fit in to the neurotypical world. But there is such beauty in mine world to. The way me understand things and process things is unique and can be lovely. Mine sensory processing differences can be artistic. Yes sometimes me gets overwhelmed but other times if me can avoid chaos it's beautiful. When me can get lost in the color of the sky, very much Pocahontas like Jejeje. Mine deep love of music, me experience it so much powerful. Feeling textures, me has rub a leaf over and over for hour. Sometimes me looks silly enjoying these things but who cares because is a type of joy and love for beautiful nature most people needs. More people needs find little things to make them happy. And more personal needs loves nature so will take care of it. Mine brain may experience all these things different but me not thinks is bad. Do me needs helps to cope and be safe yes but me not wants be 'cured' of mine experience and lose this joy. Especially as mine body is giving up more than ever its these little things that help me. Differences can be a good thing and strength to not always a bad thing. With a little help me made a list of some good things that can come from mine differences . . . OCD helps me remember things
PTSD helps keep me safe
SPD let me really enjoy things like music and baths for coping skills
Autism helps let me be myself
ID helps me get happy more easy
Cerebral palsy helps me be patient
Seizures help me be understanding
Asthma help me learn medicine is important
GERD can help learn eat more healthy
Mine body giving up (them thinks ALS) gives me more time to study words and watch tv
Bedsores help me try move/exercise
The spectrum of autism spectrum explained
The best way to understand the spectrum is not just as autism. Some people think is just autism and some people has a lot and some a little. Me not thinks that. There is more than just autism that makes you, you. Your personality and culture and experience to. Me likes the fruit salad model by Donna Williams. It say you has autism but there's all this other stuff you can has to that make your autism different. Like different sensory processing disorders, dyspraxia, alexithemia, face blindness, and other stuff. There's also a bunch of comorbids you can has and sometimes people call it all autism like seizures, mild cerebral palsy, mental health things, intellectual difference, sleeping disorders, tummy problems, etc . . . The thing is it's easy to call it all autism but it's not. Some things you not can do much about but is good to understand what's exactly going on so that you can help some things. For example learning that me had seizures was super important. Learning that mine friend son has celiac saved his life and helped his 'behaviors'. Giving mine cousin meds for his mental health helped him has less behaviors, communication more, and do more good in school.
Also there's this thing sometimes people say everyone is a little autistic. Me not thinks everyone is a little bit autistic but let's think of it like this. If you a great great grandma who was black and everyone else was white you'd not be black but you may have a black trait. If that grandma was autistic instead of black then you may have a autistic trait. I don't care if you call me autistic or say I have autism, I care that you respect me as a valid person. From what me understand that what people on both sides want. Me says I'm autistic because to me it's the same as saying I'm Hispanic. Me not has Latino. And also me thinks is like how Deaf people say it, because it means a culture and or community identity. But still it comes to respect. Like the word slow. I know me am slow, my brain takes extra time to process. So if you call me that as a fact or description then it's ok. But calling me slow to be mean or make me seem less than you is not ok.
Sharing your autistic experience
So me has see a thing problem with trying to share mine experience. No matter how me do it me am not good enuff. Is always a reason not has to listen to me. If me types my normal with little help from anyone me am to hard to understand or my obvious intellectual and communication problems makes me invalid. But if me gets help me am see as to smart and people think am 'high functioning' so can't possibly be like the other nonverbal kids who still has behaviors. Even tho me am still having behaviors. Besides behaviors is a form of communication and brain body self defense. As me am less can type me am has more behaviors. Not on purpose but is the only way you can see if me has a headache or am overwhelmed or as pain, when mine body can do nothing and me am rag doll you not can know anything of mine feels and thinks. Judging me or anyone is bad especially based on how we type. You don't know us. You don't see the hours working on these words. You don't see the meltdowns me has. And even those who are 'high functioning' you don't see them struggles and shutdowns. Mine friend Grr is called high functioning autism. Him works and talks. But him also stims, has meltdowns, has trouble with things like baths, has sensory problems, and can has times of nonverbal. The thing is how much you can do in 1 way is not how you do in all the ways. Do me need more help than him yes. But that not means him not needs help to. But if all you see is us typing then you not can know what him needs. You not can see his meltdowns by him typing.
Updates, possible als
I know it's been a long time me not type and am sorry. Today me will be copy and paste a few posts me has be work on type for a few months. But before that me will tells you what is going on. A lot of why me not be type is it's become to hard. Even using switch control mine body starts hurting and gives up very fast. Me has do a few tests and the new thinks is that me has ALS not the primary progressive multiple sclerosis after all. Me has 2 more tests and then hopes gets official diagnosis. There has be problems with gets the eyegaze device. The insurance lady says will talk with a person and tell us next week what is go on. Me has the approval so me am confused. Mine swallowing study thingy to talk of feeding tube was moved to next month but mine doctor is going to call and try to has an emergency study because all mine bones is show. Me can see mine ribs in mine chest and me was not even know ribs was in your chest. Me has had bedsores because not can moves mine self much on mine bed but am try mine best.
The 2 more good things is DRS finally do the assessment thingy so in 2 weeks will tell mine insurance how much help me can has at home because not wanting to nursing home at all. And the lady and Grr was talk and it looks like me will has a big score to gets lots help. Us was ask lots things of what me can do and me has say thinking on it me am surprised am alive but me has always be survivor. The most good thing is Friday Cheetos will takes me to get mine new power wheelchair. It has lots of supports so me not will fall out.
Me has to say me loves Cheetos. Him and kitty is what helps me try be ok. There has be days where me am has bad thinks because is like me will never get help. Me spend most days on mine bed poking mine bones and try to move enuff to not get more bedsores. Is like am being left here tortured by mine body until die with no help. But me knows Cheetos and kitty loves me even if they not can do much. Me am happy of Grr to. Him takes me to most mine doctor things and him and Cheetos call everyone to make the appointments.

"Painful Occurrence."
A Charlottesville Advocate article, titled "Painful Occurrence," reports on the November 12, 1840, shooting of John A. G. Davis, a law professor at the University of Virginia. This was an early account of the incident by the weekly newspaper, and at that point the assailant had not yet been identified. It was also believed that Davis's wound was not life threatening. Two university students, William A. Kincaid and Joseph Green Semmes, had fired their pistols in front of the faculty residences on the Lawn. When Davis stepped forward to apprehend the shooters, Semmes reloaded his pistol and fired again, wounding the professor in the abdomen. Davis died two days later.
Citation: "Painful Occurrence. We understand that Professor Davis of the University of Virginia was shot by an unknown hand, with a pistol, in front of his dwelling, on Thursday night about 6 o'clock. … Broadside 1840 .P3. Special Collections, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Va.

Around 1 in 4 people will suffer from a mental health problem at some point, so it's not surprising that many students experience this whilst at university.
Not only is it a period of significant workload and exam stress, but there's also the upheaval of moving away from family and friends, or living with (initially) unknown people.
It can be difficult to recognise when tiredness or other problems are an appropriate response to your current demands, or a mental health problem that requires to be addressed.
Student of Staff in Mental Distress (Flowchart)
Student or Staff in Mental Distress Incident Recording Guidance Notes
Student or Staff in Mental Distress Incident Recording Form 1
Student or Staff in Mental Distress Recording Form 2
Common signs and symptoms
- Poor appetite, or compensatory over-eating
- Excessive tiredness
- Poor concentration
- Deterioration in self-care skills e.g. personal hygiene
- Impaired motivation
- Difficulty in remembering things
- Problems in making decisions
- Loss of drive, energy and interest
- Disturbed sleep pattern
- Feeling low or miserable much of the time, even despairing at times
- Thoughts of suicide
- Withdrawal from social events/contacts
- Fears about attending lectures and/or tutorials
- Hearing or seeing things that others seem not to
- Increased irritability
- Odd thinking
If you are experiencing a number of these symptoms then it is a good idea to seek a professional opinion and support. If you are experiencing thoughts of suicide, get help quickly.
Getting Help
There are various options both within and outwith the University, for you to choose from.
- Your own doctor has access to your medical history and therefore is able to contextualize your experiences to some extent, which can be very useful. They are also the gateway for referral onto other specialist services, should they feel that this is indicated.
- The University Health Service consists of a medical adviser (doctor), who is available for two short clinics each week, and a mental health nurse. We link in with the statutory NHS wherever appropriate and you would be advised of this on attending.
- The University Counselling Service If you are feeling distressed, unhappy or confused, counselling may be able to help you. If they feel that your mental health is seriously impaired or at risk, they will advise you to contact your own doctor.
- Outwith office hours, you may 'phone NHS 24 who will assess whether or not your presentation is considered an emergency or urgent enough to warrant immediate medical assessment. Either way, they will advise you of what to do next.
- The Samaritans are a confidential, free helpline, where there is always someone available to talk and listen
- Breathing Space is a confidential, free helpline, funded by the Scottish Executive
- Choose Life help and advice for those with suicidal thoughts and their family & friends
- Living Life Guided Self Help a confidential telephone service based on a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) approach for people suffering low mood, mild to moderate depression and/or anxiety
- Touched by Suicide Scotland run support groups for people who have suffered a bereavement through suicide. For more information contact them on 0141 584 3211
It is important to talk to someone and to do something, rather than ignore the situation and hope that it will go away. Getting help earlier means you will feel better sooner, with less disruption to your studies and your life.
Suicide Prevention
Thoughts about suicide can be very distressing and isolating. These can occur without any real warning and lead to feelings of panic and being out of control of oneself. If this happens to you or to someone you know, it is essential that professional help is sought. Although many people experience such thoughts without ever then acting upon them, it is a dangerous position to be in and specialist assessment and input is required.
For many people, just knowing that outside help is coming can be a source of great relief e.g. an appointment is organized, even if it is not immediate, and can really ease their sense of despair. Support from a friend or relative is also very valuable, but you should not expect to substitute this for professional help if you are desperate.
If you feel that such suicidal thoughts are very immediate and persistent, i.e. you feel that you are in danger of acting on these imminently, you should contact your own doctor, indicating that you need an urgent appointment or, outwith office hours, contact NHS 24, again highlighting the urgency of the situation. Alternatively, you can present to 'Accident and Emergency' at Ninewells hospital, where your mental state will be assessed by a trained health professional.
Remember that whilst university is an intense and, at times, all consuming period in your life, your health is more important. It is surprising how effectively people begin to effect positive change with the right support in place, and how what seemed like insurmountable problems quite recently, can be put into realistic perspective and therefore back within your control.
Referral to Mental Health Service
The University of Dundee provides a mental health nursing service.
This confidential service is for students and staff who are either:
- experiencing a mental health problem,
- felt to be in danger of developing a mental health problem. Clients' own GP's will be informed of the referral and the outcomes of this, as will psychiatric medical staff where they are also involved. Where the referrer is someone other than the afore mentioned, no information will be disclosed without the client's permission (the referrer will be notified of the first appointment date on receipt of the initial referral).
Means of referral
Referrals can be made by anyone who is concerned about the mental health of a student or member of staff. All referrals must be supported by a letter outlining:
- The client's details including name, address, date of birth, GP and psychiatrist (where applicable)
- The reason for referral
- The nature of the difficulties giving rise for concerns
- Summary of past mental health problems
- Category of referral
On receipt of the referral, the client will initially be given an appointment to see the doctor. The purpose of this is to medically review the client to rule out any other reasons for their difficulties and to ensure that mental health nursing referral is appropriate. If the referrer is the client's own GP or Psychiatrist, screening by the University Doctor will not be carried out.
Verbal referral may be made in cases or urgent need but these must then be followed up with a written referral.
Mental health nurse
Fiona Grant, Health Service, Support Hub, Old Technical Institute, University of Dundee
Telephone number: 01382 384168 (Internal Ext: 84168)
Fiona works part time, and so you might not always be able to contact her immediately. If you leave a message, your call will be returned as soon as possible.
Indicators for referral
Examples of specific disorders/mental health problems which would indicate referral to this service, and their referral priority rating are listed below:
Priority 1* referral
- Risk to own safety
- Safety of others may be at risk
- Unintentional self harm e.g. self neglect
- Abuse by others in the context of a mental health problem e.g. physical, sexual, emotional, financial
Priority 2* referral
Concerns regarding:
- Undiagnosed/unmanaged psychotic illness
- Functional disorders, for example:
- Anxiety disorders
- Depression
- Phobic or obsessional disorders
- Undiagnosed/unmanaged eating disorders
A mental illness or condition which has not been given a specific label but has been significantly affecting the client's ability in the following areas for periods which may vary between months and years:
- maintaining their employment/academic performance
- maintaining their appearance and personal hygiene
- performing necessary domestic chores
- participating in recreational activities
- sustaining social relationships
People who are experiencing symptoms which are not severe but which cause significant and persistent psychological distress and, if not assessed and treated, may lead to severe and/or enduring problems, for example:
- generalised anxiety/stress disorders
- abnormal bereavement reactions
- abnormal adjustment reactions e.g.
- following significant life events
- post traumatic stress
* In summary, clients thought to be at risk of harming themselves or others, or being harmed, within the context of a mental health problem, should be regarded as a priority 1 referral and all others will be priority 2. Priority 1 referrals will be seen within one week of the referral being received. Priority 2 referrals, we would hope to see within 6 weeks, however, at busier times, this may be longer. If this is not possible for any reason, the referrer will be advised of this by the University Health Service on receipt of the referral.
Nature of intervention
On first contact with the client, the following will be discussed:
- information regarding the process and potential outcomes
- boundaries of the therapeutic relationship
- confidentiality and what this actually means
- the means of assessment used
- the existence of a care plan
The assessment process may last between one and three sessions after which the outcomes are discussed. This includes the findings of the assessment and what happens thereafter. There are a number of possible outcomes:
- recommendations for self help resources
- referral to the statutory psychiatric services, via your own GP
- referral to other services where indicated
- negotiation of a structured, time focused care programme with specific goals and actions
Other roles
As well as actual clinical work with clients, this service hopes to provide educational and advisory roles. This may include the following activities:
- being a contact point for people seeking advice on whether referral is necessary/appropriate
- regular networking meetings with groups of staff/students to answer any questions.
- collecting feedback and suggestions on the service provision, access etc.
- providing guidance/information on the recognition of potential mental health problems and possible actions.

A smile flashed across Tarun's face.
The sight of donuts in the tray was the reason.
They were visiting a friend of their mother, Aunty Thanuja.
Aunty Thanuja offered them donuts with tea.
There were five donuts on the plate.
Tara had one.
That filled her stomach.
Mother didn't eat donuts.
Tarun took a second donut.
Tara looked at him.
"There's cream on your lips" she whispered to Tarun.
Tarun wiped it with a tissue.
Mother and Aunt Thanuja started talking about the orphanage.
Tara showed interest in the conversation.
However she got bored after some time.
She looked at her brother.
Tara was surprised to see him still eating donuts.
She looked at the plate.
All the donuts were gone.
She was shocked.
After a while Aunt Thanuja went into the house.
Tara told mother what Tarun had done.
Mother was shocked.
"Tarun, how could you eat four donuts?" a wide-eyed mother asked.
"I could not have my breakfast" Tarun grumbled.
"It's your fault that you didn't" she pointed out.
"We are on a visit Tarun. Where are your manners?" she asked.
Tarun scratched his head.
"Sorry" Tarun said.
"Please don't do it again, Ok" she reprimanded him.
Tarun nodded his head in agreement.
"I had only one" Tara said softly.
"Yes you know your manners" mother stroked Tara's head.
What made Tarun smile?
What did mother and Aunt Thanuja discuss about?
What was the excuse Tarun gave for having four donuts?

As much as I love city living, sometimes I envision a more idyllic, slow-paced alternative (purely fantasy considering my fear of downtime). Beacon, up in Dutchess County, New York, packed with homey restaurants, galleries, and charming boutiques, would be just the welcoming place to take this leap.
After years of pining to visit Dia:Beacon, set in an old Nabisco box printing facility, yesterday, on a day the museum is normally closed, I was invited to come up and join a few fellow writers for an insider's tour that involved wandering through Richard Serra sculptures and being gripped by vertigo peering into Michael Heizer's steep geometric forms.
Dia:Beacon was just a cultural bonus, however. The real mission of the 70-minute Metro-North journey was to visit the Roundhouse at Beacon Falls, which when complete, will encompass a boutique hotel, restaurants, lounge, and event space spread throughout a collection of circa 1800 mill buildings.
For the earthy, modern look developer Robert A. McAlpine turned to New York City-based Rockwell Group. For yesterday's occasion, David Rockwell, along with the myriad local artisans who crafted everything from the metalwork to the stools in the lounge that I wanted to sink into for an Old Fashioned or two, were on hand—as were the mayor of Beacon and the executive director of Dutchess County Tourism. After all, a stylish hotel complex in the midst of cutesy bed & breakfast country is sure to be an economic and tourism boon to this neck of the Hudson Valley.
So far, the Patio, a sprawling outdoor restaurant overlooking Fishkill Creek and those glorious Beacon Falls, has been unveiled, as well as soaring Swift, an upscale dining room with floor-to-ceiling windows, comforting woods, and tactile red chairs, adjacent to the aforementioned intimate lounge.
Rooms will be ready to sleep in come September, along with a stunning catering and event facility (the first shindig will appropriately be McAlpine's 40th wedding anniversary celebration). On the next visit up, perhaps I'll stay a while.
Welcome to Swift, at the Roundhouse at Beacon Falls.

How do you keep them clean? What do you use (swiffer, vacuum, broom?) and how often do you use it?

We are moving to a place with wood floors due to my severe dust allergies. The only room that will have carpet is the bedroom and we are getting an air purifier for it. We are also throwing out our plush couch which makes me sneeze and my eyes swell.

Any tips?

Philip Bailey will be well known and remembered by many Melbourne based fly flickers. I say that because around 10 years ago Philip moved to England. During my trips back to the old Dart to attend the British Fly Fair I was able to meet up with Philip and although briefly, it was good to chat and catch up on old times. For a while Philip had a tackle shop at Moonee Ponds and was also the foundation President of the Australian Trout Foundation. If you are planning a trip over to the UK and want to a bit of fishing then Philip's your man; he has just set up a guiding service and you can find out all about it on his new website: www.flyfishwithme.net
Oliver Kite was a Welshman by birth, moving to Lancashire in his teens and finally settling in Wiltshire after his extended duty in the British Army. Born in 1912, he settled in Netheravon, Wiltshire and took up residence (the Avon ran at the back of his cottage) across the road from the great Frank Sawyer, becoming close friends and fishing companions. Unfortunately this friendship ceased abruptly and in his book Kite only briefly refers to Sawyer. The influence of Sawyer on Kite is obvious when reading his writings and referring to both the style of fishing and the flies used. Kite died suddenly of a heart attack in 1968 whilst fishing the famous Test River.
Kite was a minimalist considering that presentation of the fly was more important than matching colour and the exactness of the insects. He published 6 dry flies as a writer (Hawthorn Fly, Pale Evening Dun, Apricot Spinner, Sepia Dun, a brown sedge and the Imperial). Towards the end of his life he found that just one, the Imperial, would catch fish no matter what real fly they were feeding on. He even reduced his fishing time and never fished the evening rise. What fishing he must have missed out on – spinner falls, midge hatches and massive caddis activity.
Kite was also famous for the 'bare hook' pattern. A hook with a thorax of fine copper wire – was this a further development of the Sawyer theory?
We need to also remember that Kite fished the southern chalk streams of England, rarely moving farther afield.
From time to time, there are some fly patterns that stand the test of time and should become immortal. In Australia, the 'Pot Scrubber' is probably one of these, in America the 'Quill Gordon' is another and here in the United Kingdom 'Kite's Imperial' could be classed as such a fly and there are probably lots of other patterns that could equally be included. We will each have our own ideas about that.
I first started reading about the 'Kite's Imperial' some years ago after devouring books by Skues and Sawyer and moving into two books. One written by Oliver Kite – Nymph Fishing in Practice and the other by Philip Brown – A Fishermen's Diary (a collection of articles published by Kite).
When I first came to the UK and started fishing the streams in the north, I tied up a few of Kite's Imperial using his traditional pattern. They worked okay but didn't perform as well as some of the parachute patterns I used. The rivers in the north of England are similar to those in Australia – boulder and stone bottoms – and not at all like a chalk stream. In addition, they suffer periods of spate when they run high and with large sections of them providing rough aerated water. Because they were lower in other periods, the fish populated these turbid areas of the stream. My Imperials just sank.
I was convinced that the basics of the pattern were right. It was effective in most situations, it looked great as a fly and I could catch fish when other patterns failed. I set about adapting the pattern into a parachute fly. "The Kite" was born.
Oliver Kite tied his fly with a pronounced 'thorax' right behind the hackle. The idea was to dress the fly in "the normal Netheravon manner". I am not sure what he means by this but I am convinced that he was referring to the thorax of a Sawyer Nymph. Was it effective? Probably, because the fish would not have been able to see it anyway.
Kite never quite stated specifically how he dressed the Imperial and there are various theories as to the exact dressing. His description is even open to interpretation:
"I dress the fly on a size 0 or size 1 (16 or 14). Tying silk is
purple and the hackle is honey dun, in theory. The whisks should be greyish
brown in spring, honey dun or nearest later. The body is made of about four
un-dyed heron primary herls, doubled and redoubled to form the thorax.
The fly should be ribbed with fine gold wire. It was the combination of the purple silk and gold wire which led to the fly being called the Imperial."
(It should be noted that Great Britain only has around 50 species of Mayflies or Upwings as they call them and the vast majority belong to the Baetid family, hence the reason for the small hooks-Mick Hall)
Does the purple show through the herl? Was the herl wrapped around the thread (heron is fairly fragile) and then wound onto the hook? How was the thorax tied? How many turns of hackle? You can see that Kite left a lot unanswered. Perhaps if he lived longer these questions may have been dealt with. What is certain though is he left the world with a wonderful fly as his legacy. It is used today all over England and during many different type of fly hatches.
"The Kite", named in honour of him (I am not one to change a fly and then use its original name; it is a different pattern once altered) evolved from his pattern. I have added a wing, obviously to accommodate a parachute hackle. I have retained the considered manner of tying the body – open turns of herl to let the purple silk to show (I believe that the use of purple is highly under-rated in fly patterns, especially dun patterns).

I have replaced the thorax with the 'butt' end of the wing. And, I have added a size smaller than what Oliver Kite would have used.
In tying this pattern, I have also included a different way of tying a parachute. Hans Van Klinken, famous for the 'klinkhamer', originated this approach. What I like about it is that the tying off actually occurs right at the bottom of the wing post and under the hackle. This effectively places the thorax and body down into the water surface and this, I am sure, gives the fish a better profile and establishes a key trigger point.
This is just one pattern from a series that I have originated. Others include a Pale Watery ("The PWO"), March Brown ("The Brown"), Large Dark Olive ("The Olive"), and Yellow May ("The Yellow"). With these five patterns, in various sizes, I can cover most up-wing fly hatches in the United Kingdom. They would equally take fish in Australia.

Peace & Justice @ PMC
Portland Mennonite has a long history of advocacy for peace and justice in our city and in our world. These issues are kept at the center of our congregational life. Many of PMC's Peace and Justice initiatives focus on aiding the homeless population. Homelessness is a major justice issue for our city, with upwards of 4,000 men, women and children in Portland being homeless at a time. The Justice Committee has a statement on homelessness that can be read here.
If you would like to join others at PMC working on these issues please email Rod Stafford.
Street Root's Mission is to create income opportunities for people experiencing homelessness and poverty by publishing a newspaper and other media that are catalysts for individual and social change.
- In 1998, Street Roots emerged from the defunct Burnside Cadillac newspaper, publishing a monthly newspaper addressing issues of homelessness and poverty.
- The organization was entirely volunteer run, and five individuals experiencing homelessness sold the paper as the first Street Roots vendors.
- In 2015 Street Roots began publishing on a weekly basis and the award-winning newspaper is sold by 160 vendors in the Portland metro area.
Portland Mennonite Church helps support the Anawim Christian Community, a church made up of the poor and outcast from "normal" society—the impoverished, the homeless, the mentally ill and those on public assistance. ACC holds low-key services and Bible studies, expecting interruption and questions throughout the services. 'Anawim' is a Hebrew word that means "The poor who depend on the Lord for deliverance."

When it comes to plumbing, the Hampton city jail has big problems in small places.
Pieces of grit no bigger than grains of sand have fouled up the system, finding their way into hairline openings that regulate the flow of water.
''It will do one of two things,'' said Tom Daniel, city director of general services. ''It will run all the time, or it won't run at all.''
It's a problem either way, and Daniel and his staff have a new sense of urgency to solve it.
Last week, state corrections officials decertified the 35-year-old jail, citing a list of shortcomings. Plumbing woes were on the list - again.
If Daniel's people manage to fix it - and on Monday they were considering two ideas - they will finally solve one of the most nagging problems at the jail.
In 1993, state inspectors put the jail on probation after finding plumbing problems. The city made temporary repairs a year later, and the state lifted the probation.
In 1996, the city sank more than $1.3 million into the structure - for everything from a new heating plant to upgraded lighting.
During that project, workers uncovered evidence of the problem that plagues the jail today, said Daniel and his department supervisor, Mike Newberry.
Workers found inches of sediment at the bottom of an old 250-gallon hot water storage tank.
The sediment came from mineral deposits left by the water and possibly from metal flaking off the inside of the galvanized steel tank, Newberry said.
It was reasonable to assume some of that sediment had worked its way into the plumbing, Daniel said.
It was also reasonable to assume that any grit in the plumbing would eventually flush its way out once the tank was removed.
But it didn't. Grit remains.
Another part of the 1996 project involved installing the flow-regulating diaphragms. Hidden in the wall, the devices had rubber stoppers with tiny openings to control water flow.
The diaphragms have wire-mesh filters, not unlike the kind people have on their faucets at home. Those filters are supposed to stop any grit before it gets to the tiny opening in the diaphragm, through which the water is supposed to flow.
But the grit in the plumbing system is so fine that some pieces are getting through the mesh. Once those pieces lodge in the diaphragm's tiny opening, the system is fouled.
The jamming takes a few minutes to fix, said Newberry, but with so much stuff floating in the water, it might not stay fixed for long..
''It could work for a week, a month, or two hours,'' he said.
Newberry said it's a frustrating problem because the jail's plumbing system is sound.
The pipes are high-grade copper, the kind used in military installations. The problem part is about the size of a half-dollar.
''I think this is a two-dollar part,'' said Newberry, holding it to the light and squinting through the tiny opening.
The two ideas being considered by Daniel and Newberry would attack the problem on two fronts.
First, they hope to get new diaphragms to regulate the water flow. The new ones would have slightly bigger openings to prevent jamming.
Second, Daniel and his staff may install filters at various points in the plumbing system. They think the jail might be getting grit from elsewhere.
The city has had a couple of major water main breaks, which can create sediment. And although the piping is copper, one of the valve-switch boxes is iron, and that might be releasing grit, too.
Whatever the problem is, Daniel said he wants to proceed responsibly in the face of pressure by the state.
Part of the problem, Daniel said, is overcrowding. The plumbing system, like everything else in the building, was built to serve 160 people. Last week, the jail held 290 inmates.
''All of us would like for it to be a perfect world,'' he said.

Krystal Covington, MBA, is a woman who knows how to stretch herself.
With a refined strategy in place, she's going places—and it's due to her purposeful goals and efforts. A sampling of her career accomplishments includes being founder of Women of Denver, a published author, a public speaker, and a communication specialist. She labels her career focus in her LinkedIn profile with the titles strategist, business coach, and leadership trainer. Such an introduction might suggest Krystal is a natural extrovert, but that's far from the case.
As an introvert, Krystal met an impasse: remain in the shadows and struggle to attain her career goals, or step out and redefine her nature. A quick read of her workbook The 4 Keys to Influence reveals which path she took and how she mastered the art of influence.
"I kept getting passed over for opportunities because others were more popular and gregarious than I. I knew I was quick witted, educated, and competent, but none of that matters when you haven't formed a connection with the people who make decisions on your behalf."
The creation of Women of Denver was initially a way for Krystal, having recently moved to Denver, to build a local network in a new place. Momentum in the group didn't take long; in fact, Krystal's network grew to her expectations and she stepped out of the day-to-day operations of the business to drive her larger goal: "to help as many women as possible find an authentic way to showcase their natural gifts."
Meanwhile, Women of Denver continues to grow organically, with many local businesswomen supporting the content for relationship building, personal development, and personal branding—all in a workshop-style medium where the success seems largely due to the authenticity that Krystal built it on.
Q&A with Krystal Covington
How do you stretch your own mind and find inspiration?"I put myself in vulnerable situations and then reflect back and take in what I learn." As an example, she cited attending a three-day conference. In a word, Krystal calls that environment "transformational."
Biggest trending content?"Professional branding. I attract a lot of entrepreneurs and find most people want to learn how to stand out—how to be found and then remembered—in the sea of competition."
How can you best "brand" or "sell" yourself into a promotion/opportunity that would be a new, unproven challenge for you? "You sell your value, what your knowledge, skills, and abilities are, and don't focus on the fact that you haven't done the specifics before."
What's the most powerful part of Linkedin?"Pulse. I've had people actually tell me that what I've written actually means something to them."
In your expertise, how do you think WGU grads can use their university connection to best build their networks? "People need to be having conversations, and conversations are what builds networks. Chat back and forth or set a time for a phone conversation."

SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS) – Football fans looking for more playing time for their favorite players might have to wait a bit more.
When it comes to week two of preseason games, the question is: what should football fans be looking for?
"More of the same," John Madden told the KCBS Morning Crew. "Usually week one and two are about the same, you don't play your veteran starters a long time. You play some of your other starters and then most of the game, at least the second half is young players. And then the third week, which will be next week, is when you play your team more and kind of analyze where you are as a team."
"Week one and two you're looking at individuals. You're analyzing individuals and seeing how they're doing, who's going to make the team, because you remember you do have to cut the squad down eventually from 90 players to 53," he added.
"So a lot of that happens in the preseason then by next week you want to start getting your team ready."

Fun day at the shop.
We started off inside playing the BigE WT8's. Mind you, these are not by any stretch optimized. I just stuck some capacitors I had laying around on the tweeters for protection. I know one is crossing about 3-4k, no idea where the other is. Just a 1st order filter to keep from frying the tweets. They're the Faital HF102, a very small, really nice tweeter. The main drivers in one cab are the proprietary 8's I had built for evaluation, in the other cab are the coax version of the 8's. Both boxes are built for the standard 8's, which makes them too shallow in the driver compartment for the coax's with a tweeter. Duct tape to the rescue, I just taped over the tweeter mount. Not exactly a high tech arrangement. We also ran the BigE LilE 12" sub. I only have one of those, I really need to build another, so they'll vortex load. (What? New language for speakers)
I had been playing around with a new 31band DBX eq I bought actually for monitor mixing. I'd stuck it in the loop to play with eq on the cabs, I'd just always run them flat. When we started, I was noticing some mindrange noise that had not been there before at volume. I played with the eq a bit, and couldn't get rid of it. I pulled the eq out of the loop and it was gone. So much for dbx. It's going back. I'll drop my DEQ in the loop. Just a mechanical 31 band is so much faster to adjust. Dangit.
Many styles of music were played. Steve brought a recording of a band he was in that had been done very simply on simple equipment, but very well done, and really good music. It's depth, articulation and soundfield were amazing. Even Steve said he was hearing things he'd never heard on it before. Doug brought some Maynard Ferguson so we played that. Maynard was about 10ft tall. One of the really interesting aspects of these is if it's not a really fine recording, it sounds horrible. Nothing to do with the speakers, they just expose every flaw. Overly compressed, overly worked, overly anything and you can hear it. And I suppose if you'd never been exposed to fine recording and mixing techniques, you'd never notice. But, this is our business, and we are supposed to hear these things. I don't remember the recording, but Doug remarked you can hear the gate on the compressor triggering when the vocalist started.
After we came back from lunch, Doug said let's put one outside. I usually run cabs out the back, there's pretty much nothing for about 3 blocks. But I didn't want to move all the stuff, so we went out the front. My shop sits about 50ft from the tracks. Not much to the east but tracks, the first building is a block away. To the west about 1/2 block are where the houses start. In the direction we were playing there is nothing but track for 4 or 5 blocks, and once again houses off axis about 45 degrees, 1/2 block down the street, across the street.
We started off with some Heart. I am in love with Ann Wilson's voice. I ran it up pretty hard. I have the digmoda amp limited pretty tight, I do not want to blow the drivers, so I don't really know how much power I'm putting out. It's capable of 500w into 4 ohms, which these cabs are. It should be a 500 watt cab. It's crossed at 50hz, 48db slope Yes, 50hz for a top. We started walking away and side to side. These are the long throw cabs, for the top part of an array. Doug estimated dispersion in the 110-120 degree range. But even off axis farther than that it was not significantly down. About 75 ft away was where the event horizon existed (What? New language for speakers). That's where you could hear it start to drop like a normal cab. Whats really interesting is the wind was gusting at times pretty hard. I thought it sounded like a phase shift, Doug remarked that he thought it was disrupting the packet information (What? New language for speakers) from the speakers, and he's right. When cars would drive by, we were across the street, you would hear it also. But if the cars were stopped in front of the speakers, (for a train or to turn) the sound did not change at all.
Soooo, being who we are, we rigged some cables and we brought out the other cab. Stunned is the word. Whatever is going on with one, becomes a whole nother world with 2. I had not done this before. If you've never had a kick drum thump you in the chest from a top at 150-200 ft away you haven't lived. We could not find the event horizon. The cars still disrupted the packets, but not the wind. The railroad guys drove up and said it was loud and clear at the shops, well over 4 blocks away. They were good with it as long we played classic rock. But somebody wasn't. The local enforcement showed up in about 10-15 minutes, said they'd had 2 calls already, and could we turn it down. I think it was the Zepplin that did it. Damn we should have taken a pic. During this time a at least 1 mile long train had gone by. We buried it, except for it's horn.
Next time behind the shop. The only people I'll piss off there are the shoppers at the grocery store 3 blocks away. And maybe the old folks condo 6 blocks away and off axis about 60 degrees.
Quote from Doug on my face book page, hope he doesn't mind:
"Had a blast today with Leland, putting the Big E cabs to the test. No hype here folks, these Big E cabs are the real deal. The laws of physics have been broken, the textbook is being re-written."
2 comments:
What a great report. Thanks, Leland. This has pretty much been or experience as well. Big E HQ is next to the railroad as well. Imagine the commotion we caused full power testing a couple of dual 18 (218SLVX) vertex loaded subs and multiple tops. We are zoned M1 for manufacturing and yet the city tried to push us around. Our attorney halted that. However, a neighbor for blocks away cane by and politely commented that we were rattling the doors in this home and the music was almost as loud as his TV. When he explained his wife went to bed early to get up early for work I felt bad. I had no idea the sound would penetrate to that extent. It should not be that powerful at such a distance. (We know better now) We now voluntarily limit our testing hours just to be good neighbors. This Halloween we have been contracted to do sound for the outdoor Thrill-The-World dance. Every piece of Big E gear we have will piled up on Peoria St. for that event. Bouhahahaha.ReplyDeleteReplies

Been mulling this over for a few days....
Most of my D/s relationships have been on the casual end of the spectrum, that may be largely due to the fact that I have kept this part of my life as my little secret, something that can be locked in a box and pushed under the bed when I'm not using it. Part of this is also how I meet my subs, craigslist is not a high commitment website. Most of the guys I meet want to keep that experience in a box, they contact me when they want to scratch that itch. Because I'm not dating my subs, I can use a man who is too old or unappealing for boyfriend purposes.
Submissive men have no mystery, no challenge. Years ago I had a submissive boyfriend, but I was honestly too young and inexperienced to know what that really meant. In more recent years sub males have been my playthings, my punching bags, my muses, my secret cheering section.
Now that I have met a charming young sub that makes my tummy flutter, I am wondering - do we have the foundation for sustainable relationship? We did meet on a kink site, but we did not meet up for "play time". We met for lunch. He's not someone who call himself a sub, but I don't call myself a Domme in my daily life. Everything seems to match up, or is this something we'll want to box up in a few months?

Nov 12th 2014 Over Coffee
It's only gotten worse in the past 20 years, Vince! This is an interesting little series from 1993 that I will begin here today. I don't think it has ever run on the Web site; maybe you can tell me. It generated a lot of interest when it appeared in newspapers though. It seems a lot of people could identify with having a special friend at the office.

Hamid's characters, Nadia and Saeed, are living in a country that suddenly erupts into violence. They live there as long as they can, but soon discover they need to leave to survive. They immigrate to a refugee camp, where things are in some ways better, some worse; and again, and again. There's a slight magical realism element to the way they travel which reminded me of elements of Salman Rushdie or Gabriel Garcia Marquez - they approach a door which becomes like a portal. For a while, they're in a nebulous space, and then they emerge in a new land, sometimes sure of their destination, sometimes not. It's really the only fantastical element of the book and it's beautifully effective and an a spot-on way of capturing not just the immigrant experience but I think most air-travel experiences, honestly.
I came to love both Nadia and Saeed - both of whom continued to defy my expectations - the loving and gentle, religious Saeed who wishes his wife wouldn't wear a full-length black robe. Nadia tells Saeed she wears the gown "so men don't fuck with me". She smokes pot and likes living alone.
Hamid also introduces other characters in short vignettes. To me these small asides don't serve much purpose aside from offering hope and showing love in a world that seems overwhelmed with hate. In one rather remarkable two-page "run-on sentence" a young woman rides a train to stand in a human chain to protect migrants from a militant mob.
... it wasn't until she boarded the train and found herself surrounded by men who looked like her brother and her cousins and her father and her uncles, except that they were angry, they were furious, and they were staring at her and at her badges with undisguised hostility, and the rancor of perceived betrayal, and they started to shout at her, and push her, that she left fear, a basic, animal fear, terror, and thought that anything could happen, and then the next station came and she shoved through and off the train, and she worried they might seize her, and stop her, and hurt her, but they didn't, and she made it off, and she stood there after the train had departed, and she was trembling, and she thought for a while, and then she gathered her courage, and she began to walk...My god! I mean! Could you just!
"We are all migrants through time." Hamid writes this simple sentence near the end of the book, where by then it lands with a thud in your heart, having come by then to think about travelling in a slightly different way. But, it really sunk in for me, the lucky person who's never had to flee her home, during this time where there word "migrant" is loaded with so much controversy. And it really made me think about how moving forward through time, as most of us experience it, we emulate the migrant experience, sometimes leaving people behind that we love, changing our own goals and aspirations and sometimes modifying what's most important to us.
It was a lovely, lovely book and I highly recommend it.

It happened in Vegas: Observations from the Bloggers at Midlife conferenceApril 25, 2016
We've all heard the line "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas," right? Well, when you're attending a conference in Sin City with nearly 150 midlife women bloggers (#BAMC16, held April 15 – 16), all bets are off.
It's not that any of us did anything that was so outrageous it shouldn't be shared (at least that I'm aware of). Disco dancing with women in hot pink go-go boots or silver lamé bell-bottoms is simply de rigueur at an event like this. Shouting at a male presenter to "jiggle it" makes perfect sense when you realize we were referring to the wonky wire that kept knocking out his PowerPoint presentation.
Frankly, the most startling occurrence to me was when one of the speakers defined a blog as where you tell people what you had for breakfast and other details of your daily life (versus a personal essay, which she felt was more literary). To a roomful of bright, entrepreneurial women whose blogs address travel, lifestyle, fashion, humor, aging, sexuality, sustainable living, the art and business of blogging, health and fitness, and more—I thought that was pretty outrageous. But I digress.
When you have that many wise and witty women of a certain age in one room, some of the conversations and comments you hear are just plain hilarious—especially when some are taken out of context. Here's a sampling:
Attendee #1: "I had two vodkas last night and didn't even have acid reflux."
Attendee #2: "Yeah, tequila's pretty easy on acid reflux, too."
"That was the first time I said 'fuck' from a microphone."
Attendee #1: "You look good!"
Attendee #2: "It's the Restylane."
Attendee #3: "What? Oh…I thought you said 'It's the mescaline.'"
"Oh. My. God." (Spontaneous utterance from a woman at my table when a speaker was being introduced and her bio said that her way of dealing with an empty nest was to have more kids, and there's an 18-year difference between her oldest and youngest.)
"You wouldn't believe how many hermaphrodites there are in the Louvre."
Since I don't eat red meat, I requested a substitution at lunch one day. When a luscious dark chocolate dessert was served after our meal, I happily accepted it—and the woman to my right commented, "You may not eat red meat, but you're not stupid."
"She earned her way through college as a go-go dancer."
"My first husband was defective, so I had to send him back."
In a presentation about sponsored blog posts, a speaker said, "If someone approaches you about clown school, you probably don't want to write about that." (Well, maybe not if you blog about sex or fashion…but hey, if you write a humor blog, never say never!)
"If the first thing people say about you is 'What is she wearing?' then you're doing it wrong."
From a male presenter who began his presentation with this line and got one of the biggest laughs of the day: "If you forgive me for what I don't know, we should have a wonderful next 45 minutes…at least that's what I tell all my girls."
This second annual Bloggers at Midlife conference was an affirming experience in multiple ways, not the least of which were the camaraderie, connections and genuine pleasure that come from spending time with like-minded women. My takeaway? We're not getting older—we're getting funnier (as well as savvier, more self-assured and self-aware).
I came away from those two days feeling enriched on so many levels. And—no offense to the fitness experts in attendance—my core got an amazing workout from all the laughter, inspiring this haiku:
Taking things out of
context is an exercise
in hilarity.
What about you? If you were at BAMC16, do you have some funny memories of the event to share? Or have you overheard remarks out of context that had you doing a double take—or doubling over in laughter?

I had such an amazing time. No one knew who I was 🙂 so I have no great and funny stories. But I will be back
I love these out of context remarks. The conference sounds wonderful!
Sounds like such a fabulous conference. Much more intimate than a big convention. So sorry I missed it!
Thanks for sharing Roxanne.
Hi Roxanne! I think one of the funniest things I heard and we all laughed at was when our friend X said she "downsized" to a 3,500 square foot house! Poor thing! She didn't know she was talking to a crowd of rightsizers! So nice to laugh and have fun with friends regardless of what triggers it right? Thanks for all the laughs and I look forward to the next time when our paths cross. ~Kathy
I had such a fabulous time at BAMC16 and cannot wait for next year.
I absolutely agree about the essay comment too.
A week later and I'm still trying to recover:)
Those were great! Clearly I wasn't paying enough attention—though I did hear, and bristle at, the demeaning comment about bloggers. Shame on her. And thank you for citing it!
Laughing is a great core workout, say i, the fI, the fitness pro. My sis even posted about it awhile ago
I was just so happy to be with writers for the first time every thing was exciting to me. I loved it all…
What a great wrap-up, Roxanne. As one who blurted out at least two of these, and heard many more, I can attest to the wonderful sense of electricity in the air at BAM! I enjoyed it from start to finish.
I wish I could have attended, it sounds like it was a blast! We're not getting older we're getting funnier sounds like a great motto!
Loved this and loved your takeaways! The "essay" vs blog comment got me going a bit— I have to admit. Thanks for the great recap! Perfect !!!!
Oh. My. God. I still laugh out loud at the thought of that one! That and our dear friend the "downsizer".
Roxanne, I've been eagerly anticipating this post and it made me laugh as much as I knew it would.
Like everyone else, that blog vs essay comment got me too. I think we all demonstrate that there is much more to our online writing than that.
I can't tell you how much of a pleasure it was to meet you and to have the chance to share our laughter in such good company.
I eagerly await our next chance to do it again!
I'm all for the best ab workout–hysterical, infectious laughter! So glad that you got on that plane and that you had a memorable time.
Jiggle! Context is totally overrated in humor. Great post!
OMG, LOL! Blog vs. essay. HA! You are so right on. May I suggest, before you venture back to the desert you try a short(ish) trip down the Jersey shore? We would have a blast!
SOOO happy to meet you IRL. We have to do it again!
Ok reading this weeks Haiku and all of the comments I need to become a mid-life blogger. Well, older than mid-life. I am jealous beyond words.
Two vodkas and no acid reflux! LOL! That's a perfect quote for midlife women living it up in Vegas!
Sounds like you had a great time at BAM. I'm sorry I missed it.
Yes, there were several weird comments from presenters but the best part was that all of the women at the table would look up at each other with eyes that said, "Really?" So much fun!
Hahaha! Totally owning up to the hermaphrodite quote! -Veronica
I've so enjoyed reading all the posts and looking at the pictures from BAM, Roxanne. Like I told Kathy, I was even a tad jealous!
So glad you all had fun!
You know…"jiggle it" just hit all of us as funny, all at once, didn't it?
Glad it wasn't a man yelling it at a female speaker.
Enjoyed reading your recap. 🙂

Photographer: Andrew Morales
Sweater: JCrew | Jacket: Asos (sold out), similar | Jeans: JBrand, similar | Shoes: NineWest, similar | Sunnies: Miu Miu | Hat: Handmade
Wow what a crazy weekend! If you are on the east coast you know exactly what I mean and if you aren't, consider yourselves lucky. The streets are now covered with piles of snow, slush and puddles on puddles, so obviously this was shot before all the madness.
Soft and neutral tones are always trending and give that fresh look. So when I spotted this jacket, it was love at first sight! I literally just bought it and it's already sold out. I guess I'm not the only one that fell in love with its warm and cozy feel. Don't worry though, I linked some of my other favs below. If you are on a hunt for a fun, new jacket without breaking the bank, make Asos your new bestie!
Ok as for the sunnies... I would love to hear your thoughts. I usually stay away from the cat-eye shape because they don't really work for me. But, thanks to Ditto, I can try out all new styles without any commitment. As I said before Ditto is Netflix for your face! They have endless sunglasses for $24/per month... it doesn't get much better than that! If you subscribe today using the code STYLEONTHERISE, you get the first month free! So for the sunglass enthusiasts, get excited and start shopping.
Hope you are all having a great week ! xx

1 - A Polishing AgentIf you have metal which has become dulled or tarnished over time, you may decide to use a chemical polishing agent. Unfortunately, some mixtures can be extremely harsh and may actually prove to be corrosive over time. Ammonia is a perfect example of this drawback. Additionally, brand-name polishing and cleansing agents can be brutal on your skin while they are obviously toxic. If you have young children, this is an obvious concern. Wipe a bit of olive oil on a clean cloth and rub vigourously. You will be amazed to see how quickly the metal begins to shine again! This is particularly useful when used on antiques and other delicate items.
2 - A Healthy Skin ScrubWe have already mentioned that olive oil is a great way to moisturise your skin and nails. However, there is also an interesting exfoliating property that should be mentioned. Pour a bit of olive oil into a small bowl. Then, add a bit of standard (or brown) sugar into the liquid. Stir the concoction around until it forms a paste. If you find that you have used too much oil, simply add in a bit more sugar. Gently rubbing this mixture into your skin will help to remove dead cells. Not only is this just as effective as a commercially produced cream, but none of the harsh chemicals are present. For a bit of a scented kick, add in a few drops of your favourite essential oils. You will be amazed at how soft and silky your skin can feel after only a few applications.

Qaz & Allies
Do I really need to explain?
Ok, here we go.
Quaz is one of three gods (with Ru and Cheib) that sport a gradually heavier conduct, accompanied by a gradual increase of passive powers and the activation of new active abilities. Of these three gods, Ru is an outlier, because you can't backpedal on the sacrifices you made for him.
With Cheib and Quaz, you can backtrack. You lose power, and alleviate your conduct. However, you have little reason to do so with Cheib. There are two reasons for this, but they both burn down to: control. The positive aspect of Cheib's passive (pimp your apps) is fully under your control in its application: you control all Cheib-enhanced actions. Its conduct (slow) also doesn't trigger a mechanic beyond your control, like stealth failure and attracting all monsters on a level.
Quaz is the exact opposite. Your clouds appear randomly, and you have no control over them. This makes them far less reliable, and, in practice, less decisive (and fun) than Cheib's stat enhancement. And the racket triggers the stealth mechanic in a negative way, by which I mean that you attract an unknown quantity of monsters wherever you go, and you simply can't do anything about it.
Clouds also have the effect of killing your own allies. And I think that a trade could be worth doing. Disable the summoning school, make all elementals summoned by Quaz worshippers immune to clouds, cause Quaz worshippers to only summon elementals from other sources of summoning, and make Quaz clouds silent or only as loud as a melee attack. This would solve the self-destruction of god powers, and the fact that Quaz is currently the only god that rewards you if you waste piety. Magic mirrors could be like haste potions for Cheib, something that angers your god, but that you use as a calculated risk.
Option #2 is simply giving allies of Quaz worshippers cloud immunity.
I think we all agree that elemental force needs to change. The question is,"how"?
(the second question is, "who's gonna code this?", but that's for another day )

Out after a lot of clicks!
Roberto....how did you place the ladder to use cloth?
nvm...I got it...have to cut cloth in half before putting them on ladder
I have the middle red light still on. I put books on floor, in inventory I still have weights (2 of them), trolley and string. Trolley will be used on books (so it says), but I don't know what to do with other two things
POP, didn't try to tie string to weights...
First it seemed way harder, but then the game helped a lot - in fact, it kind of walkthrough-ed me through the game...
I think this little game deserves more attention. It's very good.

Organic Spirulina Benefits
SPIRULINA is a single-celled microorganism that closely resembles a bacterium. Its spiral-shaped filaments are rich in plant pigments such as chlorophyll, phycocyanin and beta-carotene. Spirulina turns the lakes and ponds where it grows a dark-blue green.
Harvesting your own spirulina is not advisable as coastal and aquatic colonies of the algae may be contaminated with industrial waste or sewage. Cultivation of organic spirulina involves locations away from industrial pollution (for example, a remote hamlet), where there is no contamination. There should also be no other agricultural activity in the area (to avoid contamination with pesticides, herbicides and fertilisers).
Spirulina has been used medicinally in China for thousands of years. Organic spirulina has the highest protein content compared to other natural food. Apart from that, it is also an excellent source of iron, calcium, magnesium, and a range of vitamin Bs. Organic spirulina contains the highest amount of chlorophyll, carotenoids and phycocyanin and has virtually no cholesterol. These phyto-nutrients act as natural antioxidants to neutralise free radicals.
Those who can benefit from supplementation with organic spirulina include:
Many parents do face problems persuading their kids to eat enough greens and fruits. However, these food groups may not fare very well among the young ones, and nutrient deficiencies may occur.
These people may lack certain nutrients as they often skip meals and opt for fast food that are high in calories but not necessarily high in important nutrients. Organic spirulina, which has a good nutrient profile, may help replenish and prevent malnutrition.
The elderly may not be able to obtain essential nutrients from the diet due to poor dentition and digestive health, diseases and medication that affect the digestion, absorption and utilisation of nutrients. Spirulina has no cellulose in its cell walls, and thus can be easily digested, absorbed and used by the body. It is also good for enhancing the immune system.
Spirulina is an ideal supplement for those who are weight-sensitive. Spirulina is low in fat, low in calories and contains practically no cholesterol, making it suitable for weight-control. Many people use spirulina as part of their detox programme as the pigment chlorophyll helps in detoxification.
Many health professionals also advocate the use of spirulina during juicing (sprinkled into fruit juices and broths), which gives better outcomes. Apart from that, the bioavailability of iron in organic spirulina is important to dieters who are on low calorie diets and prone to iron deficiency
Choosing the right spirulina product is important as inferior grades may not provide the outcome that we desire. Besides looking at nutrient content, organic spirulina should be certified by regulatory bodies and the cultivation facilities should also be certified.

Ok, before I get into any blogging, I will tell you that these are my opinions and the way I see life. I will also blog about my online shop Spiritual Radiance, which is located at http://www.spiritualradiance.etsy.com But, mostly, I'll be talking about things I'm learning about as my life goes along. Please, if you have any comments or even questions, feel free to share
them with me.
The Spirit. The Spirit to me is the powerful force that lives in all living forms. It radiates from us like a mighty beacon. Spiritual Radiance. We are all connected; humans, animals, plants, anything that lives and then we are, as a whole, connected to the Divine Spirit. I'm convinced of this. We need to respect other Spirits in our daily lives. When we have our Spirit damaged, it then puts dents in our combined Spirit. We have too many already. This is a very touchy subject with people and I know it, but I truly believe in what I've been writing about. I always welcome other peoples' views on this topic though.
To heal damaged Spirits is where Magick comes in. Magick is the peaceful, nurturing intent one performs to make a positive change in a situation. This is stronger in a group of two or more, however, even two people increase the effect of a magickal intent. As long as they concentrate as one, there will be a successful outcome. The best evidence I've seen of this is in a performed ritual and my research on this topic. I've accessed some very interesting sites in my research; one of them being The Intention Experiment (http://www.theintentionexperiment.com/ ). In fact, if you want to see more information for yourself, type in "Noetic Science" in your search engine. You'll be pleasantly surprised.
Well, that's all for now. Just want to give you a little insight in how I think. Everyone take care and have a wonderful life.
Bright Blessings

Muay Thai thailand or Thai Boxing is the national game and social martial craft of Thailand. It was produced numerous years back as a manifestation of close-battle that uses the whole form as a weapon.
Today its decisive sources are discussed by cutting edge researchers, as a significant part of the muay thai history was lost when the Burmese stripped Ayudhaya, Siam's capital city in Thailand, throughout the 14th century.
Generally composed muay thai history was lost when the Burmese plundered the temples and safes of information held in Ayudhaya, and what volumes were spared are presently national fortunes that are saved and ensured as documentation for Thai society and legacy.
Muay Thai is implied as "The Art of Eight Limbs"; and utilizing eight purposes of contact the form copies weapons of war. The hands turn into the sword and knife; the shins and lower arms were solidified in preparing to go about as defensive layer against blows, and the elbow to fell adversaries like an overwhelming mace or hammer; the legs and knees turned into the hatchet and staff. The figure worked as one unit. The knees and elbows unvaryingly hunting and testing down an opening while catching and attempting to turn an adversary to the ground for the execute.
The King of Thailand is a devoted aficionado of Muay Thai. Since being delegated its prevalence has developed more than in any viable period in history.
The source of Muay Thai, as a battling style, is thought to have produced for a considerable length of time as tribes relocated south from the steppes of China through Vietnam, Laos, Burma, and Cambodia. The major tribes of that period, one of which was the (Tai) Siamese, battled wildly to make due as they moved south and experienced other littler tribes in what is currently northern and mid Thailand, and as far south as Malaysia. Through preparing, misfortune of life, military plans, and hand-to-hand battle, system and plans were sharpened to a razors edge, and the simple components of a "battling style" started to take root.
More advanced in years officers and fathers taught their people and children the hostile and protective plans and methods, legitimate carriage and position, and aptitudes to upgrade consciousness. Those understudies and offspring went onto instruct their youngsters, and the roots and lasting structure of a "viable battling style" started to reinforce. Fitting procedure and power strikes were a fundamental component in war that requires hand-to-hand abilities. Every strike and development is intended to deliever a crippling and pounding blow, and empower the warrior to move onto the following rival rapidly without leaving himself laid open to an assault.
No doubt the development of the best hand-to-hand manifestation of battle advanced in a rather Darwin-like way requesting survival of the fittest: those who battled well…….lived and taught others before falling themselves.
The Thai were on steady prepare for assault from neighboring nations, incorporating Burma and Cambodia. Foes for a long time, the Burmese and Thai battled numerous wars wreaking devastation on both nations. Muay Thai was basically a part of the Thai society throughout this period and was a required preparing as a component of the Thai military of that time. The military pressed on to prepare troopers for quite some time in the craft of Muay Thai: determining, and refining the abilities, strategies, and systems with the wars against the Burmese, Cambodians, and different intruders.
Junior Thai men coming back from a tour of obligation with the military soon occupied with matches for game and fun in villages and towns. Every territory, town, and village might back a nearby warrior who demonstrated to some guarantee and expertise. More advanced in years warriors, survivors of numerous fights and engagements of the adversary, came to be Muay Thai educators and educators [ Kroo Muay]. The fondness of the game, and a necessity for the resistance of the kingdom made Muay Thai a part of the Thai society for the following 500 years as era after era passed the abilities onto the following.

Read my lips – no more kissing
Internal newsletters are there to tell staff what's happening in the company – or so the Diary thought. A copy of the latest bulletin from Mediaedge:CIA slipped onto the Diary's desk this week and there, among the articles on mixed-media campaigns and agency collaboration, was a one-column article about kissing – a rather odd topic for a newsletter.
The author – Mediaedge:CIA chief executive Fiona McAnena – used almost a third of the newsletter to talk about how she doesn't like being kissed by colleagues and clients. She says that she wouldn't mind if men did it to each other, but because only women are subject to this slobbering, the friendly pecks are sexist – and she might be right. She goes on to suggest ways of avoiding the kiss, but points out that holding your hand out to be shaken just gives men a handle with which to pull you in for a smacker. So listen up guys – unless you're going to start kissing each other, leave the women alone.
