A Look at Spinal Diagnostics
To identify the source of a patient's neck or back pain, a back specialist may recommend a diagnostic injection. One such injection, known as a facet joint injection, can find the exact location of a patient's spinal problem. After the facet joint injection is administered, the back specialist monitors the patient's reaction to it. If the procedure is successful in alleviating pain, the back specialist can surmise that the treated facet joint was the source of the pain. If the injection proves ineffective at stopping discomfort, the specialist can rule out that area as the pain generator.
Patients may also undergo discography, wherein a back specialist injects one or more intervertebral discs with a special solution that can be traced through a fluoroscope. This procedure allows doctors to evaluate each disc to see if disc tears may be the reason behind a patient's back pain.
SpineOne can help you find the cause of your ongoing neck or back pain.
Our back specialists offer several diagnostic procedures, including facet joint injections and discography, to pinpoint your pain source. Call our Denver clinic today at (888) 721-0459 or visit our SpineOne website to schedule a consultation.

The following article offers great information for anyone looking to gain further knowledge on bettering their interior planning skills. Read the information carefully and learn a whole lot about interior design.
It can be detrimental to start a project and find out that your funds have dried up. This can help lower your anxiety and stress while designing.
The best thing you can do to prep for any interior decorating project is de-cluttering.
Take a look at the latest trends into consideration when you are designing. You should not in style. Look at other people's homes to get decorating ideas and check out design magazines for inspiration.
They are also a part of the space. You don't just simply hang them in a straight line. Try hanging them in planned angles or angles. You will have white space that will change the room's mood and create a room by changing how your pictures are hung.
Try to be reasonable when you sell your living space. It is always best to include your own style, but make sure you stay away from anything wild and crazy. If you ever plan to sell your home, your outlandish decor might drive away serious buyers. If you still want to decorate your house differently, make sure to reverse it before listing your home.
Lighting is an essential part of remodeling a room. It creates the entire mood for the room. Bright lights create an upbeat vibe and are particularly well suited for bathrooms and bathrooms. Try suing dimmer lights in bedrooms and living rooms for this type of feel.
Lighting is a crucial part of any design project. There are a lot of ways you can use light in decorating; windows, lighting, skylights, and a lot more. You can really make a space bright if you use these items into something that works well for you.
This can be done by putting the things on your mantle are balanced. An unbalanced mantle can be distracting and unattractive.
The mirror will reflect light off of the window and create an effect like two windows. This increases light and makes the room look much brighter.
A collection consist of three or more items that belong to a collection. Three pictures counts as a good collection. Group them together for a great conversation piece.
Don't forget the living room traffic when you're placing furniture there. You need enough room for the furniture and people to have plenty of room. You aren't going to want to avoid traffic jams when you're trying to enjoy your hard work!
It is important to carefully consider all your options when designing a little living room. You need to consider the available space first. To deal with limitations due to space, try using pieces that scale well with the room you are decorating. Adding adequate lighting with these items can cause a small room look much bigger.
A good way to make your room cheerful and bright you can paint clay flower pots for live or artificial plants. You can also get your children decorate their own pots that they can use in their room.
Reflective Flooring
Reflective flooring materials may help increase the natural lighting in a room. White tiled flooring and hardwood floors are two such examples of those that can be reflective flooring. This type of flooring helps brighten up your interior rooms, and darker carpets and woods often aren't good in natural light.
If you have bookshelves in your room you can add a molded bookcase.
A great tip in making an old room is to put in a skylight. Skylights could open up any type of room as it brings the sun and light inside. Skylight manufactures today are making some nice skylights.
A simple decorating tip is using the wasted wall space. This makes the room more eye-catching and interesting.
When you're choosing a coffee table, there are many creative types out there.Check out flea markets, antique stores and fairs, to get inspiration for old items that you can use in a new way.
Trendy Pieces
Don't choose trendy pieces of furniture if you are planning on retaining it long-term. You can match up trendy pieces with classic pieces.
Keep the same decorating style throughout your home tied to some central theme. While you can mix things up a little, you should come up with a certain them throughout your home to give a nice cozy feel.
Be sure your bathroom and the kitchen have sufficient lighting. These rooms are usually small. They can seem even smaller in size if there is not enough lighting.
A good tip when decorating is thinking about things in sets of three. The rule of three is important to follow when putting up wall art.
There are ways that you can make use color to create specific effects in your room. A white ceiling makes a room and make it appear spacious.
You need not pay a lot of money on lighting in your living room. Many retailers out there will sell knock-off chandeliers and lighting fixtures at rock-bottom prices. If you pay less, you will not feel bad about buying a new one!
This does not mean you can not seek assistance from others, it should just mean that whatever opinions are offered should be in relation to look that you are going for. You will feel much more rewarded from your design if you take the time to help it come to fruition.
With the knowledge you have gained, feel confident in your interior decorating abilities. Confidence will go a long way, because you are going to have to explain to people why you want to make the changes either in your home, or theirs. Your interior planning project might be your great accomplishment; so go for it!

The Beaupre district got its name from a prospector named Beaupre who lived in a cabin by the creek in days gone by. The historic one-room Beaupre Creek Schoolhouse, built in 1925, served as a multi-grade school until it closed in 1962. The Beaupre Community Association was then established and registered and the school was purchased. Some local residents lived in the old schoolhouse until 1964 when it was completely renovated and started serving as a gathering place for the community. On Halloween night in the year 2001, arsonists burned the old schoolhouse/community hall to the ground. Fundraising started immediately to build a new community hall and, on March 22, 2003 an Opening Ceremony was held for a brand new 3,100 sq. ft. building constructed on the six-acre site. The new hall is complete with a deck and lots of windows that capture the grand view of the majestic Rocky Mountains and is used more than ever by Beaupre Community Association members and non-members.

Fine Set of Six Zanesville, Ohio Coin Silver Spoons by Henry Safford
click for more pictures
Offered is a fine set of six American coin silver teaspoons by noted early small-town Ohio silversmith Henry (Harry) Safford. Biographical information on Mr. Safford follows discussion of the spoons. These teaspoons each bear a period engraved script monogram, and each also has a good clear maker's mark. The six spoons average about six inches in length, and the total weight for the set is about 120 grams. Condition overall is very good, with little wear and no dings aside from a shallow dimple in the bowls of two spoons, and a very minor ripple in one spoon's handle. There are no splits or repairs. By style, these spoons probably date to the 1825-35 timeframe, in Safford's Zanesville period. All in all a fine set! Henry Safford was born in Vermont in 1787 and made his way to Ohio early in life. He was working in Gallipolis by about 1805, and in Marietta by 1810. He relocated to Zanesville by 1812 and later became postmaster of Springfield before retiring to Zanesville. He appears to have been working at least into the late 1820s, judging by the style of his later pieces. Safford died in Putnam or Zanesville in 1869.

With medical marijuana dispensaries now popping up around town, a restaurant called "the Munchies" might sound like a place dedicated to a certain "herb." Actually, the name is more a reference to a late closing time (3:00 AM every day) than any controlled substance, and the Munchies Cafe is a straightforward Middle Eastern and Greek quick service restaurant in the heart of Downtown Tempe. Look for the Munchies on the short cul-de-sac of Sixth Street that extends east from Mill Avenue, three blocks south of the Mill Avenue / Third Street light rail station.
There's a small patio outside, and abundant bike racks around the corner inside the Brickyard on Mill development. If the restaurant's name does little to suggest its ethnic identity, the decor doesn't help either. Aside from a flat-panel television showing news in one corner and a big photo of the Mill Avenue bridges, there is little to enliven the room. Since the Munchies does not have printed menus, take a few minutes to study the reader board above the counter for the full offerings, or the sandwich board outside for the daily special, always an item from the regular menu at a lower price.
The menu lists meaty Mediterranean-influenced favorites such as gyros, shawarma, and kabobs; meatless dishes such as falafel, and thoroughly American specialties such as chicken wings. As at many restaurants that serve gyros, the meat comes from a prepared cone. In the case of the Munchies, the origin is Devanco Foods of Chicago. The slightly salty shaved meat is well flavored and works well in a warm pita or with a plate full or rice. Moisten it with the accompanying side of tzatziki or even some sriracha hot sauce from one of the bottles kept up front by the counter.
|chicken shawarma and fries
Many other foods are cooked on site. An order for falafel results in the reassuring sound of a deep fryer in operation in the kitchen. The final product is airy but crisp with a mild but pleasing flavor. It's served in a pita sandwich or as part of a vegetarian platter that combines four spheres with an equal number of compact dolmas, smoky baba ghanoush, creamy hummus, a little tzatziki, and a few pita. The tabouleh has enough lemon to be slightly tart but not puckering. The salad has a good balance between tiny bulgur grains and minced parsley, not leaning too heavily in either direction.
|vegetarian combo
Munchies offers both chicken shawarma and chicken kabob. To be honest, it's hard to tell the difference between the two here. It both cases, the poultry is nicely seasoned and not too dry. Both appear to the same type of slices from a rotisserie, with the kabab being differentiated only by the inclusion of bell peppers. For a little variety, the kabab can be combined in a combination platter with kefta, a rectangular patty of seasoned ground meat, and some fluffy yellow rice. A side salad is a whole lot of iceberg with sliced onions, a pepperoncini, and not much more.
|chicken kabab and kefta combo
In a thoroughly American vein, Munchies serves both a "Philly" and "Chicken Philly" sandwich. They're probably not anything that would be found in the City of Brotherly Love, but they're good choices on their own terms. The red meat version is described as roast beef but seems more like the familiar small pieces of ribeye used in classic cheesesteaks. It departs from tradition, however, with a mayonnaise-based sauce and a sesame seed roll. Its chicken counterpart combines those elements with the same slivers of poultry meat as found in the shawarma and the kabab.
|Philly sandwich
All sandwiches can be made into a combo with a fountain drink and the customer's choice of fries (the default), rice, salad, or a half order of hummus. The combo route is definitely a good value, even more so if you order the daily special at $6.50 once sales tax is added. It is a little disappointing, however, that beverage options are just soda and sweetened iced tea. Any other beverage has to be purchased at extra cost, and those options are limited. There's no alcohol, but there are smoothies, and Red Bull is available for anyone trying to stay awake at 3:00 A.M.
The menu lists a dessert of the day, but the only item seen in the case during recent months has been baklava, which is available most days, but not all. The pastry is a serviceable version of a classic. Like a lot of the food at the Munchies, it's not necessarily the absolute best ever prepared; in fact, better versions of some items may be found a few rail stops to the east elsewhere in Tempe. Nevertheless, for a craving for gyros or baklava that comes about during a brief lunch break or late at night along Mill Avenue, Munchies is a logical choice that can be enjoyed without smoking anything.

Cardinal Burke Admits Disaster: Now What?
by Christopher A. Ferrara
April 4, 2017
In a just-published interview with the web-based chronicle "Thinking with the Church," Cardinal Raymond Burke dropped a bombshell whose impact is of historic proportion.
It came when the interviewer complained rather mildly about the sophistical defenders of Amoris Laetitia, Chapter 8, who claim that allowing public adulterers in "second marriages" to receive Holy Communion is merely a "development" of doctrine. As the interviewer put it, "the Holy Father's appointed interpreters and mouthpieces" are in effect arguing that "It's [the prior ban on Holy Communion for the divorced and "remarried"] developing from one doctrine into another, it would seem."
And the Cardinal's explosive reply:
"And that can't be. In other words, doctrinal development means that we have come to a deeper understanding of what is the constant teaching of the Church, and are able to give fuller expression to it, but it does not mean that we change the doctrine or that we go away from it, and that's the difficulty with the people who call this interpretation of the famous chapter 8 a 'doctrinal development'. If the doctrinal development means that now, in the Church, those who are living in irregular matrimonial situations may receive the Sacraments, then this isn't doctrinal development: this is a change in the Church's teaching.
"In fact, there is a commentator in the United States, Ross Douthat… I believe he is a convert to Catholicism, but – he just simply said [that] from the point of view of reason, this is the end of the Church's teaching on the indissolubility of marriage – and I believe that he's correct."
But what the Cardinal said "can't happen," and what he admits would mean "the end of the Church's teaching on the indissolubility of marriage," is precisely what Pope Bergoglio's "appointed interpreters and mouthpieces" are claiming has happened.
As the Cardinal must know, there is no longer any reasonable doubt that Pope Bergoglio thinks he can change the Church's teaching by purporting to develop one doctrine — that Holy Communion for public adulterers is "intrinsically impossible… without exception," given their objective state in life — into its exact opposite: that Holy Communion for public adulterers is not intrinsically impossible but rather permissible and even laudable in "certain cases" following a never-defined "process of discernment."
The Cardinal therefore admits to the existence of an ecclesial catastrophe in progress — indeed nothing less than the "final confrontation between the Lord and Satan" over "marriage and family" of which Sister Lucia warned Cardinal Burke's fellow dubia-presenter, Cardinal Caffarra.
And now the question presents itself: What do Cardinal Burke and his fellow cardinals intend to do about this catastrophe? With all due respect, interviews with weblogs will not suffice. What is needed from the members of the upper hierarchy, above all the Princes of the Church, is open and active opposition to this catastrophic error and, indispensably, to the Pope who has conceived, fostered and insured its spread with his every utterance and key appointment over the past four years.
There is no escaping the duty of legitimate resistance to the Roman Pontiff on this point, for unless the error is opposed at its source, its disastrous spread will be impossible to arrest, much less reverse. As no less than Saint Robert Bellarmine, a Doctor of the Church, teaches: "just as it would be lawful to resist a Pope invading a body, so it is lawful to resist him invading souls… and much more if he should endeavor to destroy the Church." [De Controversiis on the Roman Pontiff, trans. Ryan Grant (Mediatrix Press: 2015), Book II, Chapter 29, p. 303].
We must hope and pray that the cardinals, led by Cardinal Burke and the other three cardinals who have published their dubia, will do what none of us can do with any effect but which must be done for the good of the Church and the welfare of souls: stand up to a wayward Roman Pontiff, openly opposing him as the source of a pernicious error.
To recall the immortal words of Saint Paul concerning his public rebuke of the first Pope for the relatively minor scandal of refusing to eat with the Gentiles he was charged to convert: "But when Cephas was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed." (2 Gal. 11) As the Angelic Doctor teaches concerning this incident:
"Hence Paul, who was Peter's subject, rebuked him in public, on account of the imminent danger of scandal concerning faith, and, as the gloss of Augustine says on Galatians 2:11, Peter gave an example to superiors, that if at any time they should happen to stray from the straight path, they should not disdain to be reproved by their subjects."
If Pope Bergoglio has not caused "imminent danger of scandal concerning the faith," then words have lost their meaning. Let the cardinals, then, do what must be done before the harm to the Church becomes irreparable. Pray for Cardinal Burke and for every Prince of the Church in this time of unparalleled crisis, that they might rise up and do what their oath requires of them. For as John-Henry Westen has so rightly observed concerning this situation: "Pope Francis is indeed playing with fire. Hell fire."

I've been in a big slump. I have a rough idea of things that I want to happen, but no idea on how to make them happen. I've been busy with a lot of schoolwork, reading, and friends. Hopefully getting back into a class schedule through this week will help me get over my sparse weekend.
This Week in Tweets:
Starbucks. Gingerbread latte (may be my new favorite). Two hours until my next class. Time to write! #amwriting #NaNo
Just hit 10k! Maybe I should do caffeine-fueled writing sprints in Starbucks more often... #NaNo
Note to self: Telling friends that "my characters aren't talking to me" might make them find me insane.
I'm ahead in #NaNo, but behind on homework. Shows where my priorities are, doesn't it? #muststudy #wanttowrite
Word count for today: 0. I did, however, get quite a bit of homework done.
At the end of every writing session, leave yourself a note on where your character was going next. This will give you a starting point at your next session and prevent writers' block that results from trying to decide where your character will go next.
How is everyone else doing?

I hear you about the slump thing. I didn't write at all this weekend, and I'm not 100% sure I will today either. I know where my story is going, I'm just feeling like doing other things, like reading.
I'm amazed that you've gotten so much done and all while doing school/homework/all that craziness. Well done! :)

I'm struggling with that same thing. I know what I want to happen but I can't seem to get the words on the page. And for some of the scenes I'm not sure how to get there and it seems all the ones I'm most excited to write are so far along, and some of them I'm not even sure how I'm going to get there. Sigh.
Good luck!

Software modernization is notorious for data loss and recurring delays. But what if that wasn't the case? innoWake believes companies deserve the flexibility and freedom of a modern development language.
Development Modernization
Get away from your old VI editor and get up to speed with a modern development environment. Through innoWake's development modernization, you can ensure a seamless development, build, and deployment.
With a new level of productivity, innoWake leads the industry in saving time and improving efficiencies with future-proof technology. You'll find yourself saying, "This too good to be true."
The innoWake difference
The innoWake difference starts with a hands-on, custom approach to each client and IT department. Development teams carry a great deal of weight on their shoulders, maintaining all software updates and being solely responsible for coding antiquated languages. We work in conjunction with development teams to keep them up-to-speed and hands-on with our entire modernization process.
Solutions-focused service
innoWake's unique solutions offers development teams a simple way to get familiar with modern programming languages such as Java and .NET, as well as modern software engineering tasks. With the knowledge to build, compile, and edit code in a new language during the replatforming process, developers will be equipped to manage their current software database, while also building out new ones. This seamless development training allows IT teams to learn the new legacy software language throughout each iteration of replatforming.
In order to gradually adopt a new development language, innoWake has created a custom interactive development environment that supports older languages that typically can't run on Eclipse.
While Eclipse comes in a lot of flavors based on the language being used, it isn't equipped for programming languages such as Cobol or Natural. innoWake provides custom platforms designed around these antiquated languages so that developers can use a familiar environment to learn the new programming language. Since archived code and data must be developed and maintained while working on modernizing new pieces, the innoWake solution creates a seamless transition.

It will hyped for weeks but who will win the Scottish Cup semi-final between Rangers and Celtic in April.
Give us your score and reasoning if you want. But keep it betting-related please.
7th March 2016 at 8:28 pm #71533toddducheParticipant
Both defences are pretty rubbish so I'd back both teams to score. If you're looking for a scoreline prediction I'd go 2-2 after 90 mins
8th March 2016 at 12:30 am #71564mr-fixitKeymaster
It's such a tough one to call. Rangers looked really good against Dundee but bookies have written them off at 4-1.
That price will attract a lot of money from Rangers fans and the problem for Celtic is they'll be expected to win – but maybe not as much so as last season. Could be 3-2 Celtic with Griffiths making the difference.
8th March 2016 at 12:55 am #71577oosevenParticipant
All depends if Celtic turn up really. If they do they win relatively comfortably in all honestly as whilst Rangers are much closer they still aren't there yet. Yes, Dundee looks a great result but who really saw that coming? I'm assuming Hampden? I actually think this could be a bit of a leveler as it'll be 50-50 split fan wise and just a different atmosphere generally to Ibrox/Parkhead.
Celtic won 2-0 last time and whilst it was pretty comfortable, I don't think it'll be the same this time. Celtic should probably just edge it but if they don't turn up (and let's be honest it's a real possibility lately) then Rangers are in a much better position to push them than they were last time.
What would I stick on it as a bet? Haha haven't got a clue, but I think the bookies will go pretty stingy on BTTS
8th March 2016 at 6:22 pm #71654toddducheParticipant
Might be worth betting on cards. The last one was pretty tame but this one should have more edge to it. Scott Brown's a stick on to get booked and I'd say we'll get at least one red

It's been a hectic few weeks over here – we managed to move a week before Thanksgiving. Not the greatest timing, but hey, it's over! It was actually nice in the sense that we had time off for the holidays to get our lives together, and also reflect and appreciate all that we have. We're on the hunt for house items and have been taking advantage of the latest sales for furniture & other house necessities. I'm so used to spending my disposable income solely on clothing, shoes & accessories, so it's been strange having to make big furniture purchases when I'd normally be splurging on my wardrobe. However, it doesn't mean I haven't been looking to see what's out there (hardcore window shopping). There are some great sales happening this week…and even though I can't fully take advantage, you absolutely should! Below are some sales you need to get on ASAP. The deals are just too good.

The Quality of Research on Education; An Empirical Study of Researchers and Their Work. Final Report.
Persell, Caroline Hodges
This study measured and explained the quality of recent research on education. A total of 1100 articles and research papers published in 1967-68 were used as a data source and were qualitatively analyzed with respect to their substance and methodology. A stratified random sample of 390 papers was evaluated by 39 judges for contribution to theory, contribution to educational practice, and use to research methods. A 12-page questionnaire was mailed to all the authors to collect data on their background, training, career lines, attitudes, research context, and topic selection. All the data was analyzed using multivariate tubular analysis, and authors trained in schools of education were compared with those trained in the behavioral sciences. Professional socialization was found to be strongly related to research quality, and behavioral scientists did better research than education doctorates. The positive relationship between research socialization and quality was contingent upon certain background characteristics, with female, areligious, and Jewish subjects doing better research than males and those belonging to other religious groups, and young researchers doing better than older ones. Other related factors were institutional setting and being a staff member of a university research center. (Author/MBM)

The focus of my project is the increased maternal morbidity rate in Texas and how it relates to the postpartum care mothers receive. I hope to discover correlations between specific demographics or Texas counties and high mortality rates.
Introduction: I will include background research and existing literature to set the stage for my research. I will address common risk factors relating to mortality rates as well as provide current statistics about the rate of maternal mortality in Texas (visualization will be included).
Point 1: I will show there is a correlation between maternal mortality and access or utilization of postpartum care (visualization will be included).
Point 2: I will show the demographic makeup of women who are more likely to not get a postpartum checkup and are therefore more at risk (visualization will be included)/
Point 3: I will focus in on insurance rates and how cost affects access to healthcare (visualization will be included).
Conclusion: I will unify my points and summarize my findings.

There is an extremely short list of foods I "miss" as a vegetarian.
- Buffalo Wings
- Italian Deli Meats (pepperoni, salami, capicola)
There really is no replacement for the deli meats, but that's okay – I have to Let It Goooo (now you'll have that Frozen song stuck in your head for the rest of the day – you're welcome). Buffalo "wings", however, as a Western New Yorker, I refuse to let go of. Nope – ain't happenin'. First there were the MorningStar Farms Buffalo Wings that made me want to cry tears of joy when I first saw them in Wegmans when I was in high school – they are good, but not "saucy" enough (and the texture left something to be desired). Then there were the Vegetarian Buffalo Wings (consisting of steak-cut fries tossed in delicious, spicy, sting-your-eyes Buffalo sauce) in a restaurant in a very small town in WNY that is home to a SUNY school (the restaurant sadly closed before I was ever enrolled – but my mom remembers the epic level of veggie buffalo wings that occurred!). THEN, there were some sad failures sprinkled in between- UNTIL I stumbled upon Highland Kitchen in Somerville, MA. They have Buffalo Fried Brussel Sprouts that are f*cking amazing. Seriously. So. Effing. Good. One year, I went there for my birthday, in the steamy heat of July, and requested two orders and ate them without sharing (um, hello, it's my birthday) because that is all I wanted. They are THAT GOOD.
Last night I was really jonesing for my fingers to be smeared in Buffalo sauce (hey, it's football season after all). In my possession, I had a head of cauliflower and the largest bottle of Frank's money can buy (that would be Frank's Red Hot sauce – but we are on a first name basis). And I thought, I am going to figure out how to make some bangin' Buffalo wing-esque creation, without a deep fryer. Here's how it all went down.
Crispy Buffalo Cauliflower Wings
- 1 medium head of cauliflower, chopped into "wing" sized pieces
- 3/4 cup quinoa flour*
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of melted soy butter
- 2/3 cup hot sauce (use Frank's)
*A note on quinoa flour: if you have something else, use it. I recommend chickpea flour but I couldn't find any at my grocery store. Don't go out of your way to buy quinoa flour, there are plenty of other gluten free flours out there and quinoa flour is wicked expensive ($10.99 for 1 pound…yeah).
Step 1: Preheat oven to 450°F. Chop your cauliflower into bite sized pieces.
Step 2: Mix up your batter. Combine flour, water and garlic powder in a medium bowl and whisk together until smooth.
Step 3: Batter your cauliflower "wings". Dunk your cauliflower pieces in the batter, making sure to coat each piece completely. Place the wings on a lightly greased, non-stick baking sheet.
Step 4: Bake your cauliflower wings for 15 minutes, tossing once halfway through. Meanwhile, combine your melted butter and hot sauce in a small bowl.
Step 5: Remove your cauliflower from the oven and gently place into a large bowl. Pour the hot sauce mixture over your cauliflower and give it a toss to coat all of the cauliflower.
Step 6: Place the cauliflower back onto the baking sheet and cook for another 25 minutes or until they are crispy.
Step 7: Enjoy!! 😀 I whipped up a little dipping sauce from Greek yogurt (1/4 cup), lemon (1/4 of a lemon, juiced) and chives (1 teaspoon, chopped) as a healthy alternative to ranch/blue cheese dressing. If you're vegan, you can replace the Greek yogurt with plain soy yogurt or Tofutti Sour Cream.
These cauliflower wings are soooooooooooooooo legit (I mean, they were even made by a born-and-raised Western New Yorker). The best part is, they are vegan AND gluten free (and paleo too, I guess). You can "tune" them to your personal spiciness preference based on what buffalo sauce you use, I know that Frank's makes a buffalo wing sauce that is spicier than regular Frank's RedHot if you're really going for it. They are seriously so SO delicious, and that's coming from a girl who orders buffalo sauce on the side every time she is served french fries for dipping. Yum. They are super easy, and no frying is involved (so, much healthier than other variations of vegetarian buffalo wings). They are a great addition to your Sunday football routine, for a party, or just for a side (or your main entree, as was the case for me last night). 😉
I hope you enjoy these as much as I did! They are sooooooo freakin' good!! 😀 😀
Go Bills,

When times are bad, the economically pinched consumer shops.
And shops and shops -- until she finds the best price in town.
Tell that shopper the Gianni Versace wool and velvet dress costs $5,090 or the Romeo Gigli`s glass-embellished coat costs $38,000, and you can actually hear her Chanel purse snap shut.
It`s a sound that shakes the clothing industry to its very core. A sound it will do anything to silence. Even -- pardon the expression -- lower prices.
In response to the current dry spell, some clothing manufacturers are doing just that. Thus, in these days when more people have less, bargains abound.
For instance, Ralph Lauren (womenswear) cut prices an average of 25 percent last fall and increased his bookings by 20 percent, according to Women`s Wear Daily.
Others are holding prices steady. A jacket from Anne Klein II`s spring collection that cost $350 last year will cost the same this spring, says Virginia Smith, director of public relations for the designer label`s successful bridge line. ``The name of the game these days is to keep the markup as tight as possible. You have to hold the reins.``
Other companies are making similar moves:
-- Ruff Hewn clothing manufacturers lowered prices on their casualwear 11 percent across the board. A double-breasted jacket cost $230 last year; an identical jacket in this spring`s collection will retail for $180.
-- Guess? by Georges Marciano lowered prices on the basic denim collection -- jackets, jeans, skirts, shorts, cotton shirts -- by $2 per piece.

Performance is getting reduced while processing merge join in SSIS
Hi everyone,
I am trying to perform Merge Join using OLE DB source task in SSIS package. I am trying to process millions of records in the package. But I don't know why it was taking so much time to do this simple task. Then I checked the log file and noted that it was taking so much time to sort the incoming data. But, I have already used "order by" clause in the SQL source statement for the sorting purpose. Can anyone tell how to improve the performance in this task and reduce the processing time?

Pool, Tennis, Gazebo
A swimming pool, gazebo, and tennis courts are among the amenities available to Windgate II residents.
Social gatherings are held throughout the year, including a community barbecue, community-wide yard sale, and "pooch paddle" for dogs on the last day of the pool season (
see photos
). Some courtyards even host block parties.
If you have an idea for a community event, the social activites committee would love to hear from you (
please use the form at the bottom of the Contact Us page
to email Jennifer Commander).
A 30' x 60' pool is available for use by Windgate II and Windgate III residents and guests.
Owners must send in the
pool application
by April 1 to ensure that pool passes are received before the pool opens on May 26, 2018. Pool passes are issued only to residents whose accounts are up-to-date in condo payments and not in violation of any architectural standards. Pool passes must be revalidated each year. In order to use the pool, owners must fill out an application.
Pool Rules
Please download, print, and read the pool
. Residents are expected to observe all pool rules and to obey all instructions from the lifeguard. Any failure to comply with these rules shall be considered sufficient cause for barring violators from the use of the pool area. Three written violations will lead to the revocation of pool privileges for the remainder of the pool season.
Residents may reserve the gazebo for a private social function by submitting an application and security deposit to Randee Coleman, FSR. The gazebo may be reserved between the hours of 10:00 am and midnight.
Noise must be minimized after 10:00 pm in accordance with Arlington County law. Consumption of alcohol is strictly prohibited. Residents must clean up after the event and leave the gazebo in its original condition. Guests attending the event should park on S. Arlington Mill Dr. and not in the Windgate parking lots.
Read the rules and print the application
for using the gazebo.
Tennis Courts
Two tennis courts are available for residents (shared with Windgate III). You will need a key to access the courts, which you can get from FSR. A $10 refundable deposit is required to get the key and it is yours to use for as long as you live at Windgate II. If the key is lost or stolen, a $50 fee is required to get a replacement key.
Courts must be vacated at closing time (10:00 pm). Players must turn off the lights when leaving, if no one else is waiting to play. Hours when tennis courts may be used:
Sunday -- Thursday 7:00 am to 10:00 pm
Friday -- Saturday 7:00 am to 11:00 pm.
There are rules (in our governing documents) regarding how Court A is for unreserved use and Court B is for reserved use. In reality, not enough people use the courts to make reservations necessary. If the court is open and no one is waiting, it's yours to play on. If you are playing and other people are waiting, be courteous and limit your use to one hour so others can enjoy the community's property. If management gets complaints that people are not sharing the courts, then the reservation rules and strict time limits will be enforced.
Tennis Rules
1. Guests must be accompanied by a resident.
2. Two players take precedence over a single individual when all courts are in use.
3. All players must wear shoes designed for tennis playing when on the courts.
4. Residents will be held responsible for all actions of their guests.
5. The association or managing agent will not be responsible for loss or damage to any personal property of any kind.
6. Pets are prohibited in the tennis court area.
7. The courts are for playing tennis only and not for any other activity.
8. Use of the courts is at your own risk.

I know some Star Wars fans may think it's still too soon to debate what Carrie Fisher's death means for the future of the movies, but things move quickly in the internet world and news has come out on what's happening.
This morning THR has a report up that says Colin Trevorrow will be traveling to Los Angeles next week to meet with Kathleen Kennedy to discuss options for Leia's role in Episode IX. She had a bigger role in VIII than she did in The Force Awakens and the piece says that she had two major scenes scheduled over the next two movies: reuniting with Luke and confronting Kylo.
The article doesn't say if either was filmed as part of Episode VIII, although the Luke reunion is the most likely of the two to happen first.
When it comes to Episode IX, which isn't out until 2019 and won't start filming for a while now, things become more complicated. They say they could either have something happen to Leia off-screen or do some CG work like with Tarkin in Rogue One to bring her back.
Either option will be highly controversial for fans, but with how Kennedy has guided Lucasfilm so far, and with the wisdom of the Story Group, I'm pretty confident that the studio will figure out a respectful way to handle General Leia in the final movie of the Sequel Trilogy.

SPYL must welcome back 'Swapo four' – Khomas youth
Windhoek The Khomas branch of the Swapo Party Youth League (SPYL) has urged its national youth leadership to officially welcome back the so-called 'Swapo four' – Dr Elijah Ngurare, Job Amupanda, George Kambala and Dimbulukeni Nauyoma – who survived being kicked out of the ruling party for good. This comes after the four successfully challenged their expulsion from the party through the court, which ruled their party and youth league membership be reinstated. However, acting SPYL secretary Veikko Nekundi indicated the regional structure should table the proposal at the next SPYL central committee (CC) meeting, which is yet to be called by the national executive committee (NEC). At a briefing yesterday, the wing's Khomas regional spokesperson Sam Hamupolo congratulated the party's senior leadership for welcoming Ngurare, Amupanda, Kambala and Nauyoma back into the stable. "Thus, we humbly call on our SPYL CC to hold a meeting and do same as soon as possible," said Hamupolo. "There should be no reason for delay as these comrades never defected to any other political party during the most difficult times of their very young political careers," he said, adding: "After all, Swapo party is the winner." Hamupolo stressed that "nobody should become bigger than the party". "We should all serve our meaningful diverse purposes and yet leave the party standing much stronger and better equipped when we depart." According to him, of late they have noticed with concern some SPYL leaders distancing themselves from the process of fully implementing new amendments to the party's constitution. "We again call on the SPYL CC to pronounce itself on the harmonization of the SPYL constitution with that of the mother body." He added that the region is concerned with the waning of "cadre unity" up to national level. Hamupolo demanded that the SPYL CC lead the "promotion and maintenance of the spirit of party harmony and camaraderie to revitalize its popularity, trust and growth". "The SPYL must remain a vigilant, active, revolutionary and militant transmitting belt of the party through unity of purpose. After all, Swapo is the people and the people are Swapo." At the same event, Hamupolo also said that President Hage Geingob has settled in well after a successful election campaign – "and it is now time for introspection". On sports, he said the current NFA saga is a very disappointing situation and if not handled with the necessary care and urgency it might cause serious social implications. Regarding the Swapo Party School he anticipates that proper training and guidance of future leaders will entrench a sense of loyalty and allegiance to the party and country. According to him, recently they have unfortunately noticed the party's media influence waning largely due to the non-functionality of the Swapo media machinery. He advised that the party mouthpiece, Namibia Today newspaper, come to life, NamPrint printing press be reestablished and Radio Energy be "afforded" back into party hands. Hamupolo also expressed concern over talks about listing some, if not all, state-owned-enterprises (SOEs) on the Namibia Stock Exchange. On the looming teachers' strike, he urged the government to reconsider its position and ensure a speedy amicable solution to avoid an undesirable situation. Meanwhile, acting SPYL secretary Nekundi said the SPYL's leadership took note of what Hamupolo said. "It must be noted that such practice is tantamount to the creation of anarchy and a constitution-less organisation which shall not be tolerated in SPYL," Nekundi said. "It is our conviction that a structure at that level ought to know of the intra-communication channels and means within the SPYL and for sure they know that internal communication is not through press conferences." Nekundi stressed that the SPYL constitution can only be amended by the wing's congress and not through back-door amendments. "The SPYL held its last CC meeting on February 27, 2016, and that is exactly in line with its constitution which states that the SPYL shall have at least one CC meeting per year." "If there exists a need for additional meeting, formalities and reasons to call such must be adhered to." He added: "The content of the press conference will be discussed at our NEC meeting this Friday and appropriate action will be taken."

12V MR16 lamps are the workhorses of retail, commercial and, increasingly, residential lighting and millions are sold every year in the EU.
But under Ecodesign legislation, 'poor performing' versions are to be phased out from next year.
Better-performing versions, such as those with infra-red coatings, can remain until 2016.
The law sets out a series of minimum performance measures, including lifetime, output in a 90-degree cone and efficiency, which will effectively mean that low quality lamps – often Far Eastern imports – will be excluded from sale in the European Union from 2013.
The phase-out is part of the Ecodesign legislation, which led to the phase-out of incandescent lamps in recent years.
Paul Hodson of the directorate-general for energy is currently consulting with peers before publication of the final draft.
Lamp makers are said to be concerned with the new performance metrics, the timescales of the ban and supplies of IRC capsules.

The Muppet pals everyone are used to will be joined by a new character named Julia. She has orange hair, green eyes and autism. Julia is a bright character with a wonderful personality, she creates friends with the other Muppets and the relationship between her and the rest of the characters are amazing. Elmo converses with her slightly differently than he does with the other Muppets. For example, he would use fewer words when speaking to her and never hesitates to repeat his words a few times for her to understand him better.
On Wednesday morning, Sesame Street and Autism: See Amazing in All Children is a digital storybook that hopes to raise awareness in autism. The digital storybook is made to explain what it's like to have autism from the point of view of a child with autism.
Sesame Street and Autism is directed at families who have children with autism. It hopes to educate parents on how to handle stressful situations that may arise. The senior vice president of U.S. social impact, Dr. Jeanette Betancourt told People Magazine, "children with autism are five times more likely to get bullied and with one in 68 children having autism, that's a lot of bullying. Our goal is to bring forth what all children share in common, not their differences. Children with autism share in the joy of playing and loving and being friends and being part of a group."
When children do certain behaviors, like slapping their hands or making sounds, they do these sorts of things to express their unhappiness or excitement. With Sesame Street and Autism, by demonstrating these exact same actions through a character, it's easy to allow younger children to understand how to interact with an autistic child. It brings the children closer and allows them to be comfortable with one another.
According to US Magazine, "Sesame Street partnered with organizations like Autism Speaks and the Autism Self-Advocacy Network (ASAN) to make sure that the materials presented by the brand were educational, respectful, and positive about autism." By creating these partnerships, it really allows the content shown in the digital storybook to be completely positive and reassure the viewers.

Our 2016 Fourth of July RecapJuly 12, 2016
We had big plans for the Fourth of July this year. Okay, not really but we did plan to go to the parade, then visit family, and head off to the fireworks around 10 pm. (Ha! Funny. We literally did ONE of those things and that was visit family.)
We thought this year it would be easier to go to the parade and the fireworks with the twins but...we didn't even get there.
On the morning of the 4th, we woke up late so we never made it to the parade because it literally takes us a million hours to go anywhere. Well no big deal, we just figured the twins could nap in the afternoon before we went and visited family, so they did just that. They napped and we did the huge job of packing to leave for a few hours. (Seriously diapers, pull-ups, a bottle, milk for the babies, sippy's, extra clothes, nuks, wipes, stroller, pack n play, and that's just a few of the things)
Once they woke up we headed out and we had a blast getting out and so did they! We live in town and have no fence around our yard so it's actually kind of dangerous to take the two of them outside on your own. They can't be trusted to stay with you, so, they don't get out much unless we go for a walk and they sit in a wagon or stroller. They don't really get to run, but on the fourth, they did so much running and playing. We were visiting with family who had a great big yard and we didn't have to worry much. I loved every minute of not being a stressed out mess that one of them at any second could run out into the road if I took my eyes off them. There was a little bit of freedom and it felt great.
We had a wonderful meal that included brats, salads, treats, pop we all enjoyed ourselves. We got there at 2 pm and by 5ish (heavy on the ish) the twins were legit done with the entire trip. They were tired from running, playing, and being out in the sun and getting cranky. We decided to pack up and headed home in hopes of getting everyone to take a nap before the fireworks.
Little miss went right to sleep she hadn't napped all afternoon and the twins were just done for, beyond exhausted. They were actually overtired because they whined about laying down for a minute but then they were out.
It was 8:30 pm by the time got home, got everyone changed, and into their cribs for a little nap, and then we sat down. (this is where we made our mistake.)
After thinking about how much work it was going to take to get them packed up and down to the park to see the fireworks by 10pm we talked ourselves out of it and it didn't take long...we decided maybe next year!
I was tired, dad was tired and we rarely ever do anything this eventful so it was tiring. Plus we would of had to wake all three babies, get them all back in their car seats, pack the stroller, a pack n play, drive there find a parking spot (no easy task), walk a mile or so to the park (I could use the exercise but really who wants to do that!?), find a spot to sit, get set up, all for 15 min of fireworks and then pack up and head back and probably get stuck in traffic for an hour with three very cranky and tired babies so we decided against that oncoming disaster how bout no it sounded like a complete disaster so we said not this year and are hoping we get to make it next year. (What you think will we actually make it next year?)
Even though we were slightly disappointed about missing them we knew it was for the best and had a quiet (RELAXING) evening at home, grilled some brats, and watched a movie together. The older boys went with their best friend and got to go to the fireworks with them.Follow my blog with Bloglovin

Several presidents have done it. So, too, have governors and big-city mayors. And unlike Bill Clinton, most have inhaled. Long before national headlines blared out a candidate's position on recreational or medical marijuana legalization, the great pot debate centered around did they or didn't they?
Forget about the economy, national defense, or balanced budgets. As children of the free-love, reefer-smoking '60s and '70s began entering the political arena, America wanted to know if they'd met Mary Jane. Here are the politicians who've admitted to smoking pot.

I read this article and I understand the reasons behind why she does it.
However, is she aware that there will be thousands of people watching these videos and becoming aroused rather than appalled. Who does she think will watch the videos? search for the videos? I do not believe that it is people of sound mind and a clear social conscience who think to themselves "I am going to 'search for real rape' videos just so that I can see if I know anyone who is taking part and thus outing their disgusting behaviour to my community at large".
No, it will be people looking for extreme titilation, shock and horror – something that makes their stomach turn, head rush and feel woozy at the shame of looking, shame at wanting to look, shame at needing to look, shame at wanting to look for more.
The viewer does not care who the people are in the video, they will be looking for their own triggers of disgust, fear reminders or arousal – which can be real physical or abstract. This is different in each viewer. It can be how much/little the victim struggled, the noises, the violence, the look in their eyes or how they look away or cover their face what they say and what is said to them, how they submit in the end (if they ever do) and how the ordeal comes to an end (for the viewer as the cameras stop filming). The people in the video are mere thorns to prick the sensibilites of the viewer, like human accupuncture needles to restore, re-energise or represent the viewer. The viewer asks – how would I cope if this happened to me? would I ever do it? what would it feel like? what would happen to me? would I get drawn into it? would I walk away? what would abject fear do to me? my ego? my self? my body?
So, the posting of these videos to shame the assailants – I wonder? the person with the camera is the cleverest one of the pack – they are hidden behind the camera, whereas the others have nothing to hide behind except the group and pack mentality. The videos that are filmed – who do they think their audience is? who is the film made for? for themselves to watch back at a later stage?, each other?, to gain kudos amongst friends? How often do they revisit the video? do they watch it to recall the frenzy? the planning? their assumed 'bravery'? their 'power'? their shame and horror at what they were capable of doing? what they actually did? or do they watch it looking for ways to justify their actions? to believe that it wasn't as bad as they keep feeling it was? – "it was him…he egged us on" "if only xyz hadn't said this…it wouldn't have happened".
The victim – their face blurred out still their voice, still their body, still their panic and upset, still them – no amount of blurring is going to erase that. Still there for people to search, to see, to experience from the relative safety of their own homes in their own time, safe to shut it off if they want or add it to their favourites list of porn if it contains enough triggers for them.
As I said, I can see the rationale to why the videos are being posted but equally I can see reasons why not!

Well, solving relationship problems between wife and husband is difficult and tricky than solving a competitive exam paper. Every couple has relationship problems and that's what makes them a couple, they should fight, love and care each other to become a perfect couple. What's the life if there are no problems in relationship and it is common that conflicts would arise among couples but those conflicts should not stay longer.
A perfect relationship has everything; love and hate are the two main parts of it. When conflicts arise they should be solved as soon as possible and one of you should keep aside your ego and should try to resolve the conflict. If this doesn't happen then it will affect your relationship in a pretty bad way. If you want to continue your lovable relationship with your partner, then you better solve conflicts and you can also follow the below suggestions for best results in continuing your relationship.
Do not expect too much
First, do not expect too much from your partner as everyone has their own capabilities and you cannot change that. Accept the truth about your partner capabilities and respond according to it. Do not misunderstand your partner by expecting something high which is not possible by your life partner. If your capabilities are better than your life partner then teach your skills to your partner in a better way.
Let your ego go
It is your ego which makes your relationship goes in a pretty bad way. When a conflict arises normally you won't talk to your life partner and keeps distance. But this distance keeps increasing and at last will end your relationship. So let your ego go and don't hesitate to start conversation first.

Spend some valuable time
Many conflicts between couples occur due to lack of communication with each other. You may be busy in your work but spend some time with your partner and share all your happiness and sorrow with your life partner. Spending time with life partner plays a vital role in a strong relationship. According to a survey, couples who spend time together are lot happier than the ones who doesn't. Why are you waiting? Take your partner for a romantic date!

Real Estate Rebound Of 2007 - Has It Already Started?
Real Estate Rebound Of 2007 - Has It Already Started?By: Eric Rogers
As we head into the first month of spring, there is no doubt -- real estate activity has increased significantly in many parts of the country. This leaves many to wonder: is this the beginning of the end of the real estate market downturn? The spring market is looming -- the big question is, what type of market will it be? 2006 is no longer new news for anyone. We hit a market downturn -- after 5 years of hot growth, it was bound to happen. But more important is how long will the downturn last? This factor is vital for anyone thinking of putting their home up for sale in 2007. This fall, we saw prices drop in many places around the country off of strong values in 2005. This isn't a fact that homeowners are thrilled about. But it also has to be tempered by the exceptionally strong housing market of the previous 4 or 5 years. In many parts of the country, the depreciation of 2006 only erased a small portion of the equity that had been building. The market didn't just affect pre-existing home sales. Builders faced similar difficulties in 2006. Many responded by slashing prices and offering increased incentives to entice buyers. In several cases, builders even chose to cancel planned developments to wait out the market downturn. This fall, there were two trends that were apparent: 1. homes had to be priced competitively and in top condition to sell and 2. buyers tended to be very choosy and spent time shopping around. This second trend contributed to the longer-than-usual market times of many homes. It wasn't unusual for well-priced homes to be on the market a long time before selling. There were several main factors that contributed to the market conditions we all experienced in 2006. Many experts feel that the Federal Reserve (Fed) was too aggressive with interest rate hikes. Often, changes in the interest rates take a while to reverberate throughout the economy. Instead of letting the market react to small interest rate changes, the Fed pursued an aggressive series of hikes. Also, people are discovering that the media itself was largely responsible for a good deal of buyer uncertainty in 2006. For years, every "pundit" out there had been predicting a market crash and for the past 5 years or so, the market held strong. Then, the Fed started raising the rates and things started to cool. Of course, everyone with a microphone started piling on the idea of a "market bubble". Unfortunately what happened was "Chicken Little Syndrome" -- suddenly everyone thought the sky was falling and the market began its downturn - all while interest rates stayed reasonable and housing prices good. The result was 2006. The next question is obvious: what's next? Here's where we have some good news. The general feeling among the true real estate experts -- the REALTORS who are out in the field in your local market day after day working -- is that 2007 will be the end of the downturn for many areas of the country. We are already seeing signs of this all over the United States. Here in the Midwest -- particularly the Fox Valley area west of Chicago, things have already started to pick up -- phones are ringing, buyers are buying and sellers have a very optimistic attitude about the next few months. In fact, many REALTORS are predicting a hotter-than-normal spring in 2007 that should end the downturn, signal a soft landing and return us to balanced growth in our local real estate market. The biggest factor that should influence the spring market is the current pause (or end) in interest rate hikes. If the Fed holds steady to this policy going into spring, buyers should take it as a sign that the market is leveling out. Combine this with the fact that many buyers most likely held out towards the end of 2006 and we're looking at a larger-than-normal pool of buyers that should commit to a purchase this spring. Also, consider the fact that we are still sitting on a large inventory of unsold homes, some of which are priced very attractively. Basically we have a convergence of a large pool of eager buyers and a large pool of unsold homes at great prices -- the outcome should be a lot of activity this spring. So, how should all of this affect buyers, sellers and homeowners? If you are a homeowner, 2007 should return us to a steady rate of appreciation. It probably won't be as great as from 2002-2005, but we should return to a fairly modest, yet sustainable rate of appreciation. Sellers should be particularly interested in a rebound this spring. What was a very difficult and trying 2006 market should turn into a much better time to put a home up for sale. The most important thing for sellers to understand is that the inventory of unsold homes should still be high this spring—but buyers should be buying. This points to several factors: sellers need to make sure their homes stand out of the crowd—both in condition and price. If this is done correctly and your REALTOR works hard at marketing your home, its time on market should be greatly reduced from 2006 levels. Buyers should see the rebound as a last call of sorts. If you've held off buying—for whatever reason, it's time to commit to a purchase. In fact, buyers should really consider making a purchase in the next month or two in order to gain full advantage of the 2006 market conditions before they level out. Those that wait until summer or fall might miss the current buyer's market and find more competition and higher prices. Another benefit to buying in the short term is that interest rates are still relatively low and there are some great programs out there for buyers. While we all expect the Fed to hold steady with rates, we don't expect them to drop anytime soon. So the current rates might represent the lowest they'll be for the foreseeable future. 2006 will go into the books as one of the most difficult years for real estate in the past decade. Looking forward to 2007, we can expect the market to level out to a sustainable pace. Whatever your real estate plans are in the coming year, it will be important to keep track of current market conditions. If buying or selling is in your near future, it's important that you seek professional assistance to help you make the decisions that will benefit you the most.

1 Month Across the Rainbow Bridge
Tripawds is a user-supported community. Thank you for your support!
Today marks 1 month since Odin crossed the Rainbow Bridge. I wish I could say it has gotten easier. I guess it kind of has. I can at least talk about him. Saturday night my husband and I went to a wedding. When we got home we sat up and talked until midnight. I opened up about how badly I was struggling with out Odin. He reminded me that the way Odin passed away is something every owner hopes for. Odin died peacefully in his sleep on his bed. I didn't have to make the decision for him. Tommy mentioned that even though I always said I would do right by him, I would have never been able to make that call. He was right. Odin didn't want me to have to decide, so he made the decision for me. I told him about the loneliness. To feel lonely in a house with 2 dogs, a cat and a baby seems absurd, but it's the truth. Every time I turned around that giant goof ball was right there. We used to joke that we had a Norma and Norman Bates thing going on. Even if I sat in the living room, where he wasn't allowed, he would lay by the gate in a certain position so that he could still see me. He would hang his head over the gate and arch his neck to watch me as I walked up the stairs. His absolute favorite place to be was my office. He had his bed in there by my desk, he would lie next to me as I spent countless hours on my computer. In our old house he got to sleep in our room. Every morning Tommy would get up to shower before work and Odin would immediately jump up onto the bed in his spot. I would wrap my arms and legs around him like a monkey or he would lay his huge head on my chest and snore in my face. So basically, he was obsessed with me and I couldn't help but love every second of it.
His urn came yesterday. I waited to open it until I laid the baby down for a nap. It weighed a crap ton, solid black marble. It's absolutely perfect. I transferred his ashes then sat in silence with the urn in my lap. I rested my palms on the top of it as the sting behind my eyes returned. The knot in my throat followed. I rested my forehead where my hands were and cried….and cried and cried and cried. I hugged that giant marble box as tight as I could. Once the sob fest was over I placed the urn on the table under our projector screen, in the living room I spend most of my time in, where he wasn't allowed when he was here physically. Now he doesn't have to strain his neck to see me. He's right in front of me.
I've decided to share a few of my favorite pictures of him, obviously these aren't all of them I will share more as I keep posting.
