So the last time I posted I was about
to have colectomy surgery (on 12/19) and I was scared about
it. I didn't realize that I my fears were not unfounded!!! I thought I was just being paranoid. I should have listened to my gut (no pun intended)
I live in KC, MO, but I traveled to St. Louis to have the surgery b/c the surgeon there was an expert in laproscopic technique and would be performing a 3-part surgery (first take out colon; then in a few years make a j-pouch and later reconnect). (a few years ago I
This was planned.
Well the best laid plans............
The way I understood the surgery was that he would take out all of the colon and leave just the anus b/c he said leaving anything else was unnecessary and old fashioned and the j-pouch would function well without the rectum.
But I apparently misunderstood b/c when I woke up, I was informed I still had 12 cm of rectum b/c he couldn't take that until it was time to reconnect. My husband and I were surprised by this news b/c it wasn't how we thought it was going to go. He said I could still pass mucus and possibly have a flare in the remaining rectum, but all would calm down eventually. OK, fine No Big Deal. Just a small bump in the road to health.
So I recovered and left the hospital after about
5 days, on 12/23. We stayed another day in St. Louis and left for KC on 12/24. I felt fine after the trip home except a little tired and worn out. My husbands family usually has Christmas Eve dinner together, but since I was exhausted, I decided to skip it and stay home to rest. While I was resting, I was doing some reading about
my new little ostomy buddy (which I thought I was getting the hang of) and started to have some pain. The pain quickly intensified and the pain meds didn't help at all! I hurt so badly that I called my husband home and my mom over (she lives a few blocks away).
By the time they arrived, I was shaking and in so much pain, I told them to call 911 b/c I didn't even think I'd survive the car ride to the hospital which is about
5 min. from my house and frankly I just didn't want to move. My husband took my temp. and it was only 99. something, not really a fever (yet).
I spent about
an hour in ER while they tried to find veins to give me pain meds and start IV's (my veins were destroyed b/c of hospital stay), They finally put one in my jugular (they were desperate and so was I). Then I don't remember much until I woke up from my second surgery.
They had done a ct scan and found abscesses all over my abdomen and had to
open me back up to clean me out. They also had to remove another 8 in.of sm. intestine and reassign my ostomy to the other side of my belly (it was on right and now on left). I was critically ill for about
3 days and am still in the hospital. The surgeon who saved my life wants me to stay a couple more days to make sure all is ok. I'm fine with that b/c I don't want to have to come back. And to top it off, my rectal "stump" is bleeding.
My Birthday is tomorrow and so I will have spent Christmas and my birthday in the hospital. I am so thankful to GOD that I am alive, but I regret making the decision to do this in the first place.
I really hope things get better.
Just thought I'd update you guys.
Happy New Year.

Surgery is not always without complications unfortunately and it sounds as if you have had your fair share!! Just be assured that this does not set you up for a bad outcome. Keep up with your great attitude. It will get better but it's going to take time. Enjoy the remainder of the holidays and keep visualizing a better future.

Chasblah--don't get discouraged!!! I had some complications with my proctocolectomy last February and ended up with 3 hospital stays...BUT it is worth it in the end! Be thankful that you were able to have everything taken care of and you are on the road to better things. I know spending your birthday in the hospital sux (been there, too) but you are there for a good reason...YOU!

Right now everything kinda of sux for you, right? But, to be honest, if you Had NOT had the surgery, you wouldn't even have the opportunity to feel better at all. So I guess what I am saying is that you should keep your chin up, think positive thoughts, be patient and we will all send our positive vibes your way. Wishing you the best and better tomorrows,

Thanks all,
I'm trying to be optimistic, but sometimes I get the blues. Everyone does, realistically. But I'm having much better days now. I'm finally feeling better since the emergency surgery and my body is getting used to the "new" bag. I've nicknamed it "Lefty" until I can come up with a better pet name. My labs continue to improve and I'm tolerating food well! Food tastes so good after nearly 2 weeks eating mostly broth. there is only so much broth one can handle. The Dr. said I can probably be released tomorrow and I'm excited to celebrate Christmas with my baby (Santa still hasn't visited our house yet......) she's only 13 months, so she doesn't know.
Hey, a cool thing I've noticed since the 2nd surgery is that my ileostomy doesn't smell. After the 1st surgery, It smelled bad. Of course, it's poop. I expected it to stink. But this one doesn't have an odor? I asked the ET nurse and she said sometimes the smell is determined by the area of intestine that the stoma comes from.
I'm cool with that!

I'm so sorry you've had such a rough time.
Were the abscesses a result of the first surgery or the colitis? Either way, I know how painful they are and am glad you got them taken care of quickly. Things are going to get better in 2009. Happy Birthday!
Dx'd Crohn's in '99 at 28. Proctocolectomy and ileostomy in '06.

The abscesses were the result of the surgery. They think that the stoma separated from the skin and then the bowel contents leaked into my abdomen. They don't know for sure what happened, but the rectal stump was intact, and they could find no perforation in the sm. intestine (so far-I'm still in the hospital to make sure no leakages from remaining intestine). And the sm. int. started "dying" close to the stoma, so they had to remove more of it.
Now every time I have a bit of pain, it freaks me out. But some pain is normal for recovery right? I can really feel things moving in there (more than b4 surgery). I hope it's not adhesions or scar tissue....but I just don't know what to expect. and it's hard to describe what I'm feeling to the Dr.'s. They can only advise so much.

YEA! I'm home! I was released late last night and I am soooo glad to be home. I feel......tired and sore, but considering the alternative, GREAT! And I feel cautiously optimistic. I feel like I am finally on the mends. We celebrated our Christmas this morning, finally. It was fun. AND I plan on having pizza for "birthday" dinner-just a teeny bit-don't want to over do it. YUM YUM! I'm so excited since I have not been able to eat normal pizza for....I don't know.....years. Cake and ice cream in a couple of days. I feel like these last 2 weeks, I've been obsessed with food, since I couldn't eat. Moving on...
Annie-Thanks for the "tough lady" complement, but based on your history, I would say that my "ordeal" would be a walk in the park for you. God Bless you and keep you healthy from now on.
Good Luck All
Thanks for your support and kind words and may we all have a better year!

Tottenham signing Llorente dreaming of trophies with Spurs
The 32-year-old scored 15 league goals to help Swansea avoid relegation last season but missed the first month of the current campaign with an arm injury. He is now recovering from a broken arm he suffered during the summer break, but is back in training with the Welsh club. Fernando Llorente's aerial prowess is pretty darn wonderful and with Premier League defences all over struggling to defend set-pieces, he'd be a superb addition to any squad aiming for a high finish this season.

Learning to Navigate
Do you ever find yourself scared at the thought of being lost in the mountains? Most of us have made navigational hiccups and have been frightened or very embarrassed. It is a known fact that most mountain accidents can be attributed to an initial navigation or route finding error. Learning how to navigate is the key to success and safety in the hills.
|Dates and Cost
|April to December
|Cost per day
|£185 for 1 person. Plus £20 per additional group member.
|Important Information
|Maximum Number
|There will only ever be 4 participants to one instructor to ensure you get the most out of your day
|Minimum 1 day to a recommended maximum of 3 days.
|Where are the courses based?
|Fort William
|Pre requisites
More Detail
Most people think of navigation as using a map and compass, a GPS or smart phone. These are merely the hand held tools we use to help us on our journey in the mountains. It is not only knowing whereabouts you are in relation to the map but the ability to read the terrain and look for clues to successfully complete your journey.
Many of us will remember looking at maps at school and we would diligently learn how to take a bearing and walk from A to B. This is important but there are so many other things to learn that cannot be written down or visualised from a book.
Adele has a variety of techniques to teach navigation and route finding in the mountains. Everyone learns at different rates and the ability to interpret a three dimensional picture of the land when looking a two dimensional map doesn't come easy to some of us. Allowing Adele to show you different strategies to improve your navigation is a great way forward.
Topics covered on a navigational course
- Route planning
- Route Finding
- Types of Map
- Map to ground interpretation
- Use of GPS and Smart Phones
- Use of a compass
- Timing
- Pacing
- Access Issues
- Affects of the weather
- Negotiating different types of terrain
- Night Navigation
- Winter Navigation
- Being lost
- Being scared
The mountains of Scotland provide an excellent training ground to learn these new skills. With few man made paths and very remote hills you can test your navigation and challenge yourself so that you feel comfortable navigating anywhere in the UK.
If you are interested in taking qualifications to either improve your personal skills or to lead others then look at the array of hill and mountain qualifications available.

Author Judith Finlayson has put together 163 Paleo Slow Cooker Recipes that are 100% Gluten- Free. All of the recipes contain no grains or legumes, and no refined sugars or oils, and no processed ingredients.
For busy households slow cooker meals are ideal - spend only 10-20 minutes in the morning preparing the ingredients and enjoy a complete meal hours later.
Prepare delicious soups like the Santa Fe - Style vegetable Soup which serves 6-8 people:
Mix onions, garlic, oregano, and salt in a skillet and then transfer mix to the slow cooker. Add sweet potatoes to the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 hours. Thirty minutes before the soup is ready, various peppers are soaked, chopped and added to the slow cooker. Once the soup is ready it is pureed and corn, lime zest, and lime juice are added then it cooks for 30 final minutes.
Ava loves shrimp so this Down-Home Shrimp recipe is popular in our home:
Shrimp, lemon juice and a little cayenne are stirred and chilled until the other ingredients are ready. In a skillet, onions, celery, peppercorns, salt, thyme, bay leaves and tomatoes are cooked together. Everything is transferred to the slow cooker with the shrimp juice (without the shrimp) and cooked on low for 6 hours. Then the shrimp is cooked in a skillet and stirred into the mix and served.
The 163 Best Paleo Slow Cooker Recipes also includes:
* A complete guide to Eating and Cooking Paleo
* Slow Cooker Basics: cooking times & temperature info, proper ingredient use, and more
* Food Safety in the Slow Cooker
For complete recipes pick up The 163 Best Paleo Slow Cooker Recipes - published in 2013 by Robert Rose Inc. It can be purchased at Indigo, Amazon, and other online retailers.
I received a copy of The 163 Best Paleo Slow Cooker Recipes for my review. All opinions and reviews expressed are my own.

Exploring Rinca Island – Things to Know
Nusa Tenggara Archipelago is part of Indonesia. It features many interesting islands. Rinca Island is not an exception. The location is in the west part of Flores Island. Flores and Rinca are separated by Molo Strait. So, what can tourists do in here? First, it is a famous tourist spot. UNESCO has chosen it as one of the world's heritages. It is because Rinca is part of Komodo National Park. The other parts are Motang, Padar, and Komodo Island. Here, you can find numerous wild animals and beautiful landscapes.
The Beauty of Rinca Island
In terms of landscape, Rinca Island is quite similar to Komodo Island. It features beautiful beaches and some hills. The land is mostly covered by a meadow. You may expect many wild animals here. In the beaches, there are some parked speedboats. They belong to the visitors. The water is stunning and warm. It also features some small corals. From the hills, you are able to witness astonishing sky and feel the calm atmosphere. With these nuances, you can spend a great holiday here.
Rinca Island is about 18,500 hectare. It is the home of about 2,000 Komodo Dragons. In fact, it is more than that of Komodo Island. Usually, tourists explore both Komodo and Rinca Island. They want to compare those giant lizards and see them with their own eyes. What makes these islands different from each other? In Rinca, you may find a Komodo Statue. The height is about 3 meters and it is located near to the dock gate. Once you enter the main gate, you can see some wild Komodos nearby.
These lizards live freely. Visitors shouldn't be careless here. There are some rangers and they monitor these animals professionally. One thing, you should never carry snacks or foods. The giant lizards have a great nose. They are able to track foods from afar. That means they will come to you due to those lures. Not to mention they are aware of the blood smell. Women in their period shouldn't enter the park. Only rangers can decide whether tourists can get around here or not.
There are different routes to explore Rinca Island. These include a short, medium, and long track. Each of them offers a distinct attraction. Visitors will get a company. A ranger may guide you during the trip. You are able to see Komodo's nest. Here, these lizards may lay some eggs. For those who look for a better adventure, a longer route is available. It is also possible to climb the hills. When the weather is nice, you can see the vast and beautiful scenery from the top of the hills.
Rinca Island is only the beginning. There are other beautiful spots to visit. They are Motang, Kode, and Padar Island. The best spot is definitely Komodo National Park. It is located on Komodo Island. Next, you should head to Loh Liang National Park. It is situated near to Labuan Bajo. If you love an adventure, you can join Komodo Cruises. It is actually a daily tour. You need to talk to the management, though. It is situated in Soekarno Hatta Street, Labuan Bajo.
How to Get There
It takes about 2 hours from Labuan Bajo. Your destination is the gate of Loh Buaya or Rinca Island. The best time to depart is in the morning. You can see the sunrise while riding a speedboat. Once you reach the island, you need to meet an animal tamer. He will be your guide to explore this location.

Currently, USD/JPY is trading at 106.60, up 0.17% on the day, having posted a daily high at 107.31 and low at 106.25.
The greenback is slipping further to the downside and that leaves the descending trend line vulnerable to a close lower than 106.50 today. However, the yen is also weak and opened down 0.8% from Monday's close today. The CPI data already took USD/JPY down from the aforementioned highs and this level that is now under pressure is a key area of support, 106/40/60.
What's happening to the outlook for the greenback?
The CPI data was not an upside surprise and hence the sell-off in the greenback, down -0.31% on the day so far in the DXY where the 10yr yields are now -0.44% at the time of writing. CPI showed headline consumer prices rising at an annualized 2.2% during February and 0.2% inter-month, but, taking out food and energy costs, CPI only rose 1.8% year/on year and by just 0.2% on a monthly basis vs 0.3% prior. Thus, this is where the markets have started to discount a fourth or even a third rate hike in 2018 when coupled to the disappointment in the nonfarm payrolls wages data last Friday.
Other considerations?
There has been increased focus on the global short position in the dollar and concerns over the banking sector:
DXY underwater on nonfarm payrolls, but, watch the Libor/ OIS spread:
There is a warning signal out there that warns that the banking sector is in trouble, known as the Libor/OIS spread. The spread has moved out to the widest since 2012, (it broke above its 6-year range on Friday, when the USD Libor-OIS spread jumped 2bps, rising to 44.23bps), and investors are looking to the European banking sector again. Casting minds back to 2012, this was the widest this key spread has been since January of that year when the latest European sovereign debt crisis was in play and when the Fed had to open unlimited swap lines with the rest of the world to avoid a global dollar funding crisis.
Elsewhere, which also weighs on the greenback, are the OECD economic projections that were revised upwards. The pace of expansion over the 2018-19 period is expected to be faster than in 2017, (but tensions are appearing that could threaten strong and sustainable medium-term growth. The UK is expected to see the slowest growth rate among G20 in 2018/2019).
Eyes are now set on this week's retail sales and a disappointment there could spell real danger for the short term dollar bulls and open up the 105 handle.
Locally, Monday's scandal-driven gains have been completely retraced and JPY is testing fresh two week lows at levels last seen in late February. "Spreads are steady and the broader tone continues to dominate as risk reversals hint to an ongoing erosion in the premium for protection against JPY strength vs. both the USD and EUR," analysts at Scotiabank explained. We now await the latest BoJ minutes are scheduled for release at 7:50pm ET.
USD/JPY levels
The price is sitting on the descending channel's resistance meeting the 21-D SMA 106.65 but the Bulls need to get through JPY107.20 to break this upper end of the range near JPY108.
On the wide, 110.85 is key ahead of and 111.44/50 as being a double Fibonacci retracement that is lining up with a lower and descending 200-D SMA at 111.30. For the downside, a break of 106.20 opens 105.89 and then 104.80 opens up territory with little chart support towards 100.70/99.00 on the charts.

Greetings I am William Sultzaberger
I was born in Maine but spent the early part of my childhood in Europe until my parents finally came back to my father's hometown of Harrisburg Pennsylvania. After spending much of my misguided youth trying to get into or out of trouble I somehow managed to graduate high-school and decided to join the military. Unfortunately after a few years of service my enlistment was cut short by a tragic accident leaving me disabled and hospitalized for some time. It was during this time of reflection and rehabilitation that I began to discover my artistic passions.
I have been drawing odd sketches and strange little doodles for about as long as I can remember but slowly began to develop my skills and put effort into work. The first serious drawings that I did was actually an attempt to create a tattoo design for myself. While it would be sometime before I came up with the right design to be inked on to my body, friends liked what they seen and started asking me to create drawings for them. They showed off my work to their friends and soon I was being asked to create a myriad of different drawings and artworks.
I've studied both graphic design and architecture but do not have any formal art training and am continually trying to develop my own unique style and focus.
Greetings I am William Sultzaberger

I did get to sleep in a little bit – I awoke to the rousing sound of the blaring security alarm at 8:00 (when someone forgot to turn it off before he opened the door to get the paper). I was spoiled and pampered all day by my loving husband and children. What a treat! After church, we came home for a photo shoot to show off my fabulous new dress (I'm actually a little embarrassed after all the hype, but I did promise a picture!), and the kids and Michael cleaned up the house after lunch – another huge treat! We spent much of the afternoon outside – it was such a gorgeous day. I loved just sitting back and watching them laugh and play, and I soaked in the blessing of how great they are and how amazing it is to be their mom. Selah.* Later, Michael took the kids to the neighborhood spray park while I stayed home and read my book and snoozed a bit on the couch.
My gifts from the kids: a book about Mom (from Meghan), a clothes-pin recipe holder with a "recipe" for "Chikin soop" (from Griffin), and a pair of comfy-cozy-ultrasoft pajamas from Jake's Loft. WOO-HOO! There are few things I love more than my bed and a nice pair of pajamas. 🙂
Michael and the kids were going to fix dinner…but his joking comment was, "do you want your scrambled eggs with cheese or without cheese?" So we picked up Pei Wei instead. And (heads up, Alyssa!) Walgreens has Ben & Jerry's on sale 2/$4.50, so Michael stocked up for me. I'm certainly going to need it this week after he leaves.
Happy Mother's Day to all! Here's one for all the moms. (If my husband had the gift of songwriting, he would write this – it's actually another Steven Curtis Chapman song – but I am unspeakably thankful for a husband who understands and appreciates all I do as a mom!)
You're up all night with a screaming baby
You run all day at the speed of life
And every day you feel a little bit less
Like the beautiful woman you are
So you fall in bed when you run out of hours
And you wonder if anything worth doing got done
Well maybe you just don't know
Or maybe you've forgotten
That you, you are changing the world
One little heartbeat at a time
Making history with every touch and every smile
Oh you, you may not see it now
But I believe that time will tell
How you, you are changing the world
One little heartbeat at a time
With every "I know you can do it"
And every tear that you kiss away
So many things that seem to go unnoticed
They're just like the drops of rain
Over time, they become a river…
Happy Mother's Day! We are changing the world, fellow mommies, even when we feel like the worst moms in the world. I hope you were celebrated and loved today.
*"pause, and calmly think of that"

terreiro arquitetura e design is a brand new architecture firm based in brasília. i was invited to design their brand system, some print templates and a 'coming soon' page. in the briefing meetings, i saw that they were seeking for a simple and dynamic brand. so i chose to develop a flexible identity based on straight lines.
design: tiago ferreira
webdesign: tiago ferreira
in brazilian portuguese, 'terreiro' means something like yard. the lines represent an architecture plan with a door to the yard (where the 't' is placed). one of the possibilities for the logo is to grow till the edges.
usually i finalize my logo projetcs on fontlab. this software provides a better control on bezier curves and smooth moves on the vertices.
the logo also provides different configurations of the plan shape.
the 'coming soon' site is quite simple and works well on every device. it also has a fluid layout (try it yourself: terreiroarquitetura.com.br)
sorry about the color discrepancy below, gifs aren't good at managing colors

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – An Indianapolis woman is celebrating her centennial birthday today!
Margaret Schroedle has been a resident at Clearwater Commons for the past two and a half years, and today her friends threw her a party with cake and punch to celebrate.
She loves to socialize and have been a member of the Red Hat Society since moving to Clearwater Commons.
Margaret tells CBS4 that she attributes to getting lots of rest, and she enjoys napping. But when she is awake, her friends call her "Speedy Gonzalez," and she zooms through the halls in her walker.
Happy 100th birthday, Margaret!

Tell us a story or memory about Take That
I always liked their music first time round but never got to see them live until they reunited as a 4 piece. Although I did get to see Robbie live a couple of times. One of my friends has been a massive fan since the beginning & promised when they reunited for The Ultimate Tour we would go. I was lucky enough to finally get to see them. I've been on every tour since then.
I was so excited when they announced The Progress tour as I would hopefully finally get the chance to finally see them perform as a five piece. Of course the phone lines & internet crashed & I had to go off to work but my wonderful Dad sat for 7 hours at the computer until he finally got me the much wanted tickets. When he phoned me at work to say he'd got them I cried my eyes out.

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – The theater at Rio's Museum of Modern Art (MAM), in Centro, is presenting the "Mostra + Curso Cinema de Invenção" (Cinema of Invention Film Exhibit and Course) thorugh Saturday, May 6th. The free event started last Tuesday (May 2nd), with two film exhibitions per day.
The release of the new edition of "Cinema de Invenção", a book written by Brazilian film critic Jairo Ferreira, was the inspiration for the event, which will present films commented in Ferreira's book.
Besides the exhibitions, the event also includes a course on Cinema of Invention with filmmakers, film critics and academics, such as Guiomar Ramos, Andre Parente, Hernani Heffner, Remier Lion and Renato Coelho.
On the last day of the event (Saturday, May 6th), a debate with filmmakers Geraldo Veloso, Luiz Rosemberg Filho, Neville d'Almeida, Paulo Sacramento and Renato Coelho, at 6PM, will be followed by the release of Ferreira's "Cinema de Invenção", Geraldo Veloso's autobiography and Renato Coelho's study on Brazil Experimental Cinema.
Brazilian Cinema de Invenção refers to the subversive film production from the late 1960's/early 1970's. Also known as "marginal" or "údigrudi", Cinema de Invenção was responsible for breaking paradigms with disruptive aesthetics, discourse and narratives.
Being produced under the repressive context of Military Dictatorship (1964-1985), the marginal movement films could only be exhibited in very strict circles. Rogério Sganzerla's "O Bandido da Luz Vermelha" (1968) is one of Cinema de Invenção's most emblematic works.
"Mostra + Curso Cinema de Invenção" was conceived by Rio's Museum of Modern Art Cinematheque in partnership with filmmaker Paulo Sacramento, and with curatorship of Risco Cinema cineclub.
What: Mostra + Curso Cinema de Invenção
When: Tuesday May 2nd – Saturday May 6th
Where: Museu de Arte Moderna. Av. Infante Dom Henrique, 85 – Parque do Flamengo, Rio de Janeiro – RJ.
Entrance: FREE

***SPOILER ALERT: If you didn't see the premiere, watch it On-Demand and then come back. 😉
The most anticipated season premiere of Marvels Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D premiered last night. (*Insert happy dance) Guys, we finally got to see the new character we've all been waiting for:
Ghost Rider.
Now, the only Ghost Rider I know is the Nicholas Cage version. And yeah I saw both movies (don't know if that was a good thing or bad thing). Needless to say, I was looking for a Marvel Studios worthy version of this fiery character. As the season premiere approached, we were made aware that there was a deviation from the character we're familiar with. The Hellcycle my friends is out. A haunted, black muscle car is in — a muscle car that can survive a freaking rocket launcher by the way!
So, did the season premiere do the famed and fiery Ghost Rider justice?
The way they introduced him was tactfully done. Instead of showing him in his full glory in the first five minutes, we got him in perfect cinematic doses. We don't even see his face until further on into the show. The fiery skull doesn't make an appearance until the epic showdown between him and Quake (aka Rogue Daisy).
There was no question, however, that he was a badass. Burning and ripping out spines in the first five minutes. Running over the truck driver chained up in his garage. Yup, he is NOT the person you want to cross.
But he has a human side too. Robbie Reyes, his human alter ego is quite conflicted. We see this first when he lets Quake live despite the fact he's been killing everyone off so far. Even more telling evidence is finding out he has a disabled younger brother. Talk about a dynamic that's ripe for good, TV conflict.
This Ghost Rider character does tote a fine line, though.
The same can also be said for the series in general. As one of my fellow S.H.I.E.L.D fans pointed out in a Facebook group, Marvel is trying to blend the science fiction part of the brand with the mystic one in this season. You can thank the upcoming Dr. Strange movie for that. We already got a taste of that with the mysterious "Raiders of the Lost Ark" box the bad guys opened. My hope is that this franchise doesn't lean too far to the magical side of things. If the show uses too much of it to the point where the show stops making sense, fans will be completely turned off.
Will that happen? Well, we're just going to have to watch and see!
Did you see last night's premiere? What did you think of Ghost Rider?

Child Welfare
Rhode Island's Department of Children, Youth and Families has placed the deputy superintendent of the state training school on a two-week leave so the state can conduct an internal investigation following a complaint DCYF received about its scared straight-type program.
Those who have lobbied for the DREAM Act may have little hope the bill will be considered in the 112th Congress but that didn't stop President Barack Obama from calling for DREAM's passage at last night's State of the Union address. More from The Hill's Mike Lillis here.
The New York Times' David Leonhardt argues for a shift in the federal funding of colleges that would reward schools based on graduation rates, whereas the current system, he says, pays the schools relative to their enrollment numbers.
Tomorrow, Thursday Jan. 27 at 2:30 p.m., the Alliance for Excellent Education will host an interactive webinar that analyzes the education reform aspects of the President's State of the Union speech. To register and submit questions, go here.

Dee was for many years assistant editor, features, of Woman's Own, working with outstanding figures in the industry such as Barbie Buss, Jane Reed, Pat Lamburn, Jill Churchill and Patsy Brougham. She was responsible for the training and career development of many of today's top magazine journalists.

Dee moved to Family Circle as a 'permanent' freelance senior feature writer, responsible for many memorable human-interest stories. She also became fiction editor, renewing many long-time contacts with authors and publishers.
She will be remembered with great affection and warmth by all her colleagues and friends.

Three- time Wimbledon Champion Boris Becker suggest Andy Murray to focus on his fitness!
Notably, World Number player Andy Murray was defeated in the Wimbledon quarter –finals by Sam Querrey. According to reports, three- time Wimbledon champion Boris Becker has suggested Andy Murray to focus on his fitness. Murray's hopes of becoming the first Briton to retain a grand slam title since Fred Perry in 1936 were shattered when he was defeated in Quarter- Final match.
Boris Becker on Andy Murray
Boris Becker in an interview said, "Andy Murray's defeat in the quarter finals cannot be seen as the beginning of the end of his chances of winning another Grand Slam. Age is only a number, but we all have only one body. Andy has to look after his body that's it."
He further added, "He has to think long –term. He should not worry about making the US Open."
The three – time Wimbledon Champion Boris Becker said, "I understand that why Andy played Wimbledon because it is his one number one tournament every year and he was desperate to make it work."
Wimbledon 2017 Semi Final
The semi final of Wimbledon will be played between Roger Federer, who has beaten Canadain Milos Raonic to fix his place in semi finals and Sam Querrey. Well, it will be interesting to watch both of them.

The churchyard at Himley is a microcosm of the history of graveyards. Though it is comparatively small, it has a long history of burials, and a number of different types.
The small, half-sunken marker stones you see in the photo above date back to when the idea of commemorating an individual started, the 17th Century (before then, one was buried, yes, but there would have been no marker. In a sense, it was the start of Individualism!)
Himley's more modern smaller graves were presumably for the workers who toiled away on the grand estate nearby.

Fixer Uppers.
Sometimes you begin a project and you have no idea where it will take you. Awhile back I got to chill at a meetup with a bunch of designer friends in Portland. A fellow artist (check out Audrey's stuff in the links) and I got to chatting about my sculpting and I realized I wanted to try to sculpt one of her amazing ladies in her style. Long story short, I failed. I had a long graceful neck with shoulders sculpted and then I sorta lost my way. the first try (as previously posted), went something like this:
Cool but not quite what I was looking for. As for the slender neck and shoulders sculpt I started, it descended into this:
Large toothy grin – completely finished him and then realized it needed a fixer upper. I ripped his teeth out completely and resculpted some chompers to be proud of:
This guy was my last entry into the Animation Appreciation Art Show, new teeth and all.
The "Cyclops" owl from my steampunk series made me feel like I failed the poor creature as an owl. Owls NEED eyes.
Definite in need of a fixer upper so inspired by the "Zeus" owls I did, I made star field eyes with a copper instead of blue shade and went to work.
I then added some finishing touches for it to mesh with the over all steampunk style and suddenly, all fixed up.
I'll have to find the pink pony bust I started and I'll post it later. That little pony's fate ended up involving more muscle and bronzer.
All successfully fixed! With the exception of the lovely lady sculpt that turned into a Joker piece, of course.

The Long Line of Unemployment...
While politicians and voters on both sides of the isle continue to point fingers about what's causing unemployment, CBS' fascinating piece on 99ers seems to hit the nail on the head. In the CBS 60 minutes - 99 Weeks: When Unemployment Benefits Run Out piece, it is evident that he who feels it knows it. The truth is, so many that haven't been affected by actually loosing a job or had long term unemployment just don't seem to understand the real struggles of people on the unemployment line. They also seem to have the loudest voices in this past election season. So many, who used to go to food pantries to make donations are now joining the line to make a collection.
In Yahoo's: The Best States For Business And Careers there were interesting revelations about what some states are doing to help the situation. Some state generated tax incentives to attract companies and dear I say it JOBS! To complicate things more, companies used the recession as an excuse to become even more fiscally "conservative". In the AP's: Unemployed find old jobs now require more skills we find that companies are expecting far more of their employees and generally at the same salary or less. This is forcing many on the unemployment line to head back to the books to stay competitive.
Adding further insult to injury Yahoo's 3 Strikes Against Curvy Women reveals that thin is still in...at least in the work place. Obese women seem to earn on average 5% less than regular size women. I can guarantee you that their work isn't 5% less.
I know a business owner who takes Friday's off (so that he can fly his co-op plane); Refused to give a raise to anyone in his office for the past few years because of the economy; fired his office manager and replaced her with someone cheaper and he constantly complains about what the government has done to the country. I suspect some businesses aren't as strapped as they say they are. They just want to make sure they have a store house of cash...just in case.
At the end of the day, I don't think we can depend on government entities to solve all our problems. However, I don't think we should sit idly by while others are suffering.
"When I chased after money, I never had enough. When I got my life on purpose and focused on giving of myself and everything that arrived into my life, then I was prosperous." ~ Wayne Dyer
Until next time, when we can chit-chat again!

Hi ladies,
Just returned from a week long roadtrip up in Washington & Oregon. So much to explore and experience up in the Pacific Northwest, beautiful areas, wonderful people. We flew up to Seattle to start our roadtrip and drove north to Woodinville where we met up with friends for food & wine and a great concert at the Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery. Then drove up to the Cascade Mountains to the beautiful Bavarian town of Leavenworth (a fun & charming little alpine village). Onward to Tacoma and Gig Harbor, a cool harborside town along Puget Sound, so picturesque. Then we headed to the Oregon coast, visited Astoria, Seaside Beach and Canon Beach (enjoyed a few cool, overcast days shopping, relaxing, bike riding and hiking). Then inland to Scappoose, Hood River, Multnomah Falls for hiking & adventure ..then finally, Portland, for more food, friends & wine. So many awesome places and wonderful people we visited! Here are a few photos along the way...

December 29, 2009 (CHICAGO) --Two people apparently trying to keep warm were found dead in a truck Tuesday night.The bodies were discovered in a garage in south suburban Riverdale. The truck's engine was still running.
Authorities suspect the cause of death was accidental carbon monoxide poisoning.
The victim's were identified as 44-year-old Darryl Jackson and Nadine Teamer said to be in her 30s.
The truck was inside Jackson's garage.
Family members said the two had apparently fallen asleep in the SUV some time Monday evening before Jackson was to report for work at a night club in Hammond, Ind. They said the couple apparently got cold and decided to turn the vehicle's heater on, not realizing the garage door was shut.
Jackson's family would not allow him to have his girlfriend stay over, and he sometimes slept in the sport-utility vehicle in the garage.
Jackson was the father of three children.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Much to the relief of many people and world governments across the globe, centrist Emmanuel Macron soundly defeated the far-right candidate, Marine Le Pen, for the office of French President on May 7, 2017. In doing so, Macron became the youngest leader in the history of the republic at age 39 while also stopping Le Pen's isolationist agenda in its tracks. For now.
Endorsed by former President Obama, Macron and his 66% win showed that the French people rejected Le Pen's anti-globalist, anti-Islamic immigration, anti-NATO, anti-EU, France first and pro-Russian outlook. And with President Trump supporting Le Pen, that election in many ways philosophically mirrored the 2016 presidential battle between Trump and Hillary Clinton. Such a comparison became even more striking when Russian hackers dumped great amounts of anti-Macron information on the Internet the night before the election, harkening back to the Clinton email situation. And as if that weren't enough, Le Pen showed up in Moscow with Vladimir Putin, also shortly before the election.
For Europe, the Macron victory ensures the stability there economically, militarily and politically. With France set to continue as a strong and committed partner in the European Union and NATO, the region remains a bulwark against an expansionist and politically aggressive Russia.
And, of course, all of that bodes well for the United States in its own defense through NATO as well as being assured the EU, its largest trading partner, is not going to be fractured even more by a French exit. But it is in the political realm that the Le Pen defeat might be most instructive for those in the U.S. who are still in shock over the election of the Le Pen type candidate, Donald Trump, and the ever-increasing chaos surrounding his presidency. Distilled down to the basics, here are some of the lessons that might be learned:
- The French election shows how a strong, isolationist, populist candidate can be halted. It is even possible that in seeing the results of the U.S. election and how that has played out since, the French people didn't want the same for their country. This could be good news for the opposition to Trump & Company as they plan for the 2018 and 2020 elections.
- The Macron win is a reversal of a world trend towards the installment and solidification of far-right governments which could shift voting patterns away from such candidates in the U.S. for future elections.
- The Le Pen defeat could help build less willingness in other countries, like the U.S., from discriminatory Muslim travel and immigration policies.
- The Le Pen defeat will keep France in the Paris Accords, thus maintaining stability in the world's plan, signed by 195 countries including the U.S., to counteract climate change.
- Macron's victory even in the face of heavy Russian meddling is an indicator that perhaps once people truly understand what is going on, they will not let such interference negatively influence how they vote whether it be in France, the United States or elsewhere. It is also a sharp rebuke to Russia that just might be replicated in other countries facing similar intrusions.

It must be nice being Vin Diesel. You get to drive a lot of hot cars, shoot a bunch of fancy guns, drop a ton of one-liners, and impress all the ladies. That basically describes quite a number of Diesel's movies, but it also describes the upcoming game, The Wheelman, almost to a T.
In it, you play a character (modeled on and voiced by Diesel) as he plays an American "wheelman" in Barcelona. He's basically a driver for various criminal elements, which means that there are plenty of high-speed chases, pursuits, and action. IGN finally got their hands on The Wheelman for the first time, so strap in for some details.

The Unveiling
Subscriptions skyrocketed today as the news broke that Heidi Edelweiss-Trash, former wife of ST superstar legend Dr. Hunter Trash, has unexpectedly agreed to pose for both Playboy and Penthouse.
Long sought after by both magazines, the German beauty will reportedly be paid $3 million by each publication to pose in the nude. "It is time I do something for me," said Edelweiss-Trash in a written statement. "The breakup of my marriage has been very much sehr difficult fur mich, and I must now focus on meine self and meine career. This is more geld than journalism, and I like dollar bills, hundred dollar bills."
Heidi, as she is known simply by legions of ST faithful, will appear in Playboy's December issue, followed by the January issue of Penthouse. Playboy's Hugh Hefner was wryly philosophical, saying, "We got her first."
"Why bother with Hef's rag? The next month you know you'll be seeing a LOT more of her in our pages," responded Penthouse publisher Bob Guccione, with a wink.
Reached for comment in the Maldives, where he is currently working on a crossover music project with current fiance Jessica Simpson, Dr. Trash said, "Who?" After a moment's reflection, he added, "Oh yeah... I remember her... she's hot! Dandy bedroom-baseball catcher, that little St. Pauli girl!"

Submission Date
I am applying for a National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Stipend in order to devote June and July 2016 to full-time research and writing about World War I poetry, free from teaching responsibilities and other paid duties that I would otherwise need to undertake. In particular, I will use such digital humanities techniques as topic modeling and text mining to locate and examine poems in modern magazines, investigating how such examples highlight specific war experiences and contribute to defining the genre of the modern war poem more generally. This research will result in an article that I will submit for publication in fall 2016. It will also form the basis of my second book, which focuses on digital humanities approaches to studying a wide range of modern poetry. Moreover, research results will be disseminated to the general public through the Modern American Poetry Site.

Strange windows error 0xc0000225
First of all, hi everyone. Long time lurker, first time poster
I've come up against an issue that I can't solve and none of the other threads with this error code have helped me either. First some background.
I installed Windows 8 to give it a try but after few days decided that I really don't like it. Fired up Clonezilla and restored my Windows 7 Pro x64 image. I've done this before (as this is my 2nd time giving Win8 a chance) and the first time it worked flawlessly.
But this time, after rebooting, I get the 0000225 error. I've tried windows repair 3 times, I've tried bootsect, I've tried going into diskpart and making it active, nothing is working.
I do have the 100mb system partition and I've tried restoring just it and also deleting all partitions on my main drive and restoring again from clonezilla but still the same issue appears.
Here is the kicker though... the reason I am able to post this is because I was able to boot into my Windows 7 install by setting the Windows 7 DVD to be the first one to boot... and when it says "Press any key to boot from DVD" I just let it run out... then it boots just fine, though unauthorized.
Any assistance/tips you can give would be much appreciated. I'd really like to avoid starting over from scratch :)

During the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday, go to site CNN quickly cut away when Sen. Lindsey Graham pointed out that a former Clinton Foundation attorney has been hired by Special Counsel Robert Mueller to help with the investigation into the Russia's involvement in the 2016 presidential election.
Even though no evidence has been provided, Democrats have long thought that the Trump campaign had colluded with Russia. There is also reason to believe that Special Counsel Mueller will investigate the allegations of obstruction of justice against the president.
It was recently discovered that Mueller had hired attorneys to help who have also supported Hillary Clinton in the past, including one attorney who worked for the Clinton Foundation.
Graham: Is giving political donations a reason to disqualify somebody for serving in the Special Counsel's office?
Rosenstein: No, Senator, it is not a disqualification. It is not.
Graham: As a matter of fact, many states, the judges and prosecutors are actually elected. Donations are a part of that system, is that correct?
Rosenstein: Yes, that's true.
Graham: Would it be a disqualification for somebody in the Special Counsel's office who had represented Mrs. Clinton in the past to serve?
Rosenstein: You know, Senator, it would depend on facts and circumstances. As a general matter, I think the answer is no.
Graham: Isn't that much closer to a conflict of interest?
Rosenstein: I don't want to answer a hypothetical, Senator. Everybody needs to make a determination based on the facts and circumstances of the individual case.
Graham: How would you get it before the Special Counsel? What process could a member of the Senate use to inform the Special Counsel that you'd have a concern about hiring someone that represented Clinton?
Rosenstein: We have a process within the Department of Justice, Senator, so I would encourage you, if you have those concerns, to raise them with [former] Director Mueller or to raise them with me, and I'll make sure —
Graham: So should I do it to you or to him?
Rosenstein: Well, you could do it to both.
Graham: Okay. That's fair enough.
Rosenstein: And we have career —
Graham: And I don't know if I'll do that, but I've read some things that were — I don't think donations are disqualifying at all, but if you represented the Clinton Foundation or Clinton herself, that would be disturbing to me, but I'll take care of that.
