After years of prescribing hormone replacement therapy to women at menopause, doctors on Tuesday had to start rethinking their care of older women.
"I just switched six patients off of hormonal therapy today," said Dr. Jay Cohen, a board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist who practices in Plantation, "because the Women's Health Initiative hormone replacement study was stopped after 5.2 years. They thought the risks outweighed the benefits."
While the women in the trial had a reduced rate of colorectal cancer and fractures from osteoporosis, there was a slight increase in the risk of invasive breast cancer, heart attack, stroke and blood clots.
More than 16,000 women participated in the trial -- 354 of them in South Florida through the University of Miami School of Medicine. During the study, some women took an estrogen/progestin hormone pill and others took a placebo, a pill that looked the same, but contained no hormones.
When researchers began finding that women on the placebo were doing better overall than those on hormones, they stopped the trial on May 31. It was to have continued to 2005.
Alternatives available
The results and reasons were published Tuesday in an article in JAMA, the Journal of the American Medical Association. Other WHI trials, including one testing the risks and benefits of estrogen for women who have had a hysterectomy, are continuing.
The stock price of Wyeth, which makes Prempro, the drug used in the study, and Noven, a Miami company that makes a hormone-replacement skin patch, both plummeted. Wyeth, headquartered in Madison, N.J., fell $11.94 to close at $37.30, while Noven closed at $14.97, down $5.62.
Cohen said there are alternatives for preventing cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis in women, but that combined hormone therapy can still be used in the short term for suppressing hot flashes and night sweats that plague some women going through menopause.

Hi Jeremy, Thanks for showing us around Wentworth Point - we were impressed with the size and layouts of units you showed us. After quite a bit of agonising over the final decision, we however ended up opting to buy a smallish unit outside the area. We'd like the opportunity to say thanks for the friendly and professional service from yourself and other members of the Deviesseux team. Regards Peter and Yasemin

Amazing Real Estate who provides consistent, knowledgable and professional services. Vendor Review - Recommended by SimoneGeorgiou 18 December 2015 This was my first property that I sold, and was extremely nervous about the process up front. Jeremy was quick to calm my nerves, and made the whole process seamless and easy. His knowledge and guidance through the sale period was always professional and greatly appreciated. Highly recommend :)

Simply no other Agent to use!!!! Vendor Review - Recommended by MalcolmPruys 19 April 2016 Jeremy and his team at Ray White in Wentworth point , did a magnificent job. We are living overseas and while we stay in touch , we had no idea where the market was when we decided to sell, Jeremy and his team made it easy with great communication, honest feedback about the property and not once did he try to make unrealistic claims about value or possible selling price. He gave clear concise and accurate information about the market, and what the buyers were saying and doing. Weekly update emails, texts and phone calls after open houses helped us to feel secure when it came to accepting an offer we were super pleased with. I'd recommend the team at Ray White Wentworth Point. Great service and attitude, commission was definitely earned, thanks Jeremy and all the team at Ray White.

He was reliable and always did what he said he would do in a courteous and time manner.

I would like to thank Jeremy & Troy Deviesseux of Ray White Wentworth Point for achieving a great result for me. They had been attentive and diligent throughout the sale of my home and ensured I had every opportunity available to achieve the best price in the shortest possible time, and without fuss. I have no hesitation in recommending Jeremy & Troy to anyone looking to sell their home and welcome your e-mail if you would like to know more. (Please e-mail Jeremy or Troy and they can supply Adrian's E-mail on request.)
Adrian Duran - 504/1 The Piazza, Wentworth Point
I changed a few years ago from my existing agent to Ray White in Wentworth Point and found a very big difference in the service. I got a very personal and responsive service from both Troy and Jeremy. They looked after my property and took all the headache out of managing it while I was overseas working. We also had the best service from them when we came to sell, they looked after my interest and got me the best price for my one bed. I highly recommend Ray White for taking care of rental property and selling in Wentworth Point.
Prior to the past 6 months I had contemplated selling 2 of my investments. It became necessary to make the choice of which agency to utilise and undertake the marketing side of my decision, and to find the most impressive salesperson available at that time. I decided to contact no less than 5 local agents, to which I arranged an individual inspection of the properties to be sold, and un-be knowingly also to interview them as to their approach towards me, (a difficult person at times), their approach to the marketplace, and what kind of tactic they had in mind with emphasis as to who might achieve the highest return without the hype and stigma sometimes associated with real estate agents. A few days past, and Jeremy emerged by far as the most genuine attentive person, who past my interview with flying colours, providing me with more than what he was talking about regarding real estate sales. He understood me, (which was very important), so consequently, Jeremy was engaged. Immediately I put pressure onto Jeremy as to how important it was to sell one of the apartments urgently, (within 2.5 weeks), as for taxation reasons I would not sell both of them in the same financial year. (The 30th June was looming). Again Jeremy excelled and with genuine hard work, auction marketing knowledge and expertise, allowed me to sign contracts within the limited timeframe. This was excellent news for me, and a definite relief to sell when I wanted
Basil Bird
I met Jeremy while looking to purchase a unit in Pyrmont. He was a good communicator, knowledgeable and convincing. I ended up purchasing the unit at Auction and his accurate price estimate was a big advantage for me. A few months later I remembered his great effort on behalf of the vendors and engaged him to sell my investment property. This was a wise decision. Jeremy worked tirelessly and was able to secure the sale at the expected price at auction. I found Jeremy to be most professional, able to accurately assess the value of the property, advise on the best presentation and marketing strategy, willing to put extra effort to achieve the desired result. In short, Jeremy is a first class agent.
Boris & Lena Staroselsky
I came about Jeremy some years ago when I was having difficulty in securing a new tenant and the agency I had at the time was starting to show their true colours. Jeremy contacted me to ask if he could assist me in securing a new tenancy for which he did quickly, at the price I was seeking and to a quality tenant. I proceeded to ask Jeremy to successfully manage my furnished investment for which he did ever so well. Years on we decided it was time to sell the apartment and obviously contacted Jeremy & ResiSpace to engage their services. We decided Auction was going to be the most rewarding way to sell as we had very high Strata Levies ($3,000pq) and would need to secure a particular type of buyer who would fall in love with the apartment just like we did 9 years prior. Having not had a great experience in the past with an auction through another agent, Jeremy willingly walked us through every little step of the process, a service that has never been provided to us before, thus becoming very comfortable with the idea of auction. The end result was above reserve and Anthony & I exceptionally happy to move on. Thank you Jeremy, it's been a great ride!
David Shaw & Anthony Nader
Naturally, Scott and I are very pleased that the apartment has been settled successfully, and we'll take this opportunity to thank you very much for all your assistance in the full range of activities involved in selling our apartment. From the very beginning when we first contacted you, and through to the very end, you have acted professionally and courteously in all the transactions we have had with you. Because we like to have a high degree of communication and awareness of what is happening in real estate transactions, we were very pleased that you provided us with regular updates on the advertising campaign and its results, together with comments/feedback from open houses and other prospect contacts. Although we don't know if we will be returning to the Sydney area, we do know that if we were looking to buy or sell in Sydney we would be most happy to contact you in the first instance, because of the confidence we have in your enthusiasm and abilities. Well done, and thanks again for helping us achieve a sale in a short period of time. It has been a pleasure working with you on this sale.
John Hutton & Scott Starling
We cannot speak highly enough of how Troy & Jeremy treated us throughout our purchase of a house he was selling. We were treated with respect and given space to think through this key decision. After the auction, he kept us informed and met all deadlines on time. When we sell one day, we'll be looking him up!" Cheers Adam We chose to go with you as we were impressed with your initial presentation. We felt that your personality and style matched with what we were looking for in a real estate agent. Someone who was calm, friendly could deliver on things quickly and get the best price possible for the house. You delivered on all of these during the 4-weeks of the auction campaign. Best of all we got the price we wanted! Good luck with future sales.
Rosie Dennis & Sylvia Zajowski
We would highly recommend Jeremy and Troy Deviesseux to any buyers looking to sell their property. Having first come across Jeremy when we purchased an apartment he was selling, we were very impressed by his friendliness and professionalism. When we came to sell that same apartment, there was no question of us using any other agent - we trusted Jeremy to get the best result.... and he achieved a great outcome for us, in a very difficult market.
Jennifer & Gregory McMahon
Jeremy kept me well informed of every step during the sales process of my unit as well as when he managed the unit whilst I had tenants.

The organisers of the Black Entertainment Television Awards ( BET Awards ) need to answer this question: Is the event meant to honour Black musicians that are based in or have origins in the Western World alone? I must admit that I started following the BET Awards from 2009. What irks me is the way African artistes were treated at this year's ceremony. We saw American Artistes like Chris Brown, Kanye West, Alicia Keys, T.I, Drake, Eminem etc perform but not one single African Artiste was on stage that night. Are Africans not black too? Another grudge I have against BET is the Award that was given to Dizzee Rascal as the Best International Act. The nominated musicians for this Awards Category were- Kojo Antwi [ Ghana ], Chipmunk [ UK ], Dizzee Rascal [ UK ], Estelle [ UK ], Hip-Hop Pantsula [ South Africa ], M.I [ Nigeria ], P-Square [ Nigeria ], K'NAAN [ Somalia ] Sade [ UK ] and Corrine Bailey Rae [ UK ].
With the rapid development of African music in recent years, BET should have encouraged artists from our continent by giving the Best International Act award to one of the African nominees. Personally, I believe K'naan should have won the award. His music is mind blowing and 2010 is his year. How can an artiste whose song 'Waving Flag' has become a global anthem be relegated to the background at the awards? K'naan was not even allowed to display his skills to the world through a performance. And how is Dizzee Rascal better than Sade Adu? Sade is a legend in her own right and should have been given better recognition at the event. There has been a lot of talk in the States about the Nigerian Hip-Hop industry [ Rest In Peace, Da Grin ] and Nigerian musicians have been performing at Music festivals in America for ages. At least P-Square or M.I should have been allowed to perform at the main event anchored by Queen Latifah. It would have encouraged upcoming acts in Africa to take their careers seriously.
BET has to realise that Africa is the source of black music and entertainment. The organisers of the BET Awards are descendants of slaves who were shipped to America. These slaves did not forget their music forms and as time went on they started singing Negro spirituals. Then came Jazz, soul, blues, Hip-Hop and Rap. African music has come of age and the internet has made it easy to share music files and watch music videos anywhere you are in the world. BET has to make amends at next year's event. If African musicians can be honoured at the Grammy Awards, I wonder why Africa is being ignored at the BET Awards. K'naan has proved that it is possible to blend African sounds with western instrumentation and still come out with something great. I hope my rant will get to the BET Awards organisers. RV says things as they are.
1 comment:
Interesting observation. I, myself, am a big K'Naan fan. The man is simply talented. However, I think you should note that it is not just African artists that are being ignored at the BET Awards. The BET Awards reserves performance spots for the more mainstream artists with lighter messages to their music. K'Naan belongs to a category of artists that sing about deep and relevant issues, people who keep in mind musical integrity without compromising their intellectual abilities at the same time. Unfortunately, such artists are not the ones that receive radio play. This is the same treatment that good musicians like Lupe Fiasco or the Roots receive (all American acts). K'Naan has entered a sadly shallow music industry, and that is his problem-not his african-ness.ReplyDelete
However, I think it would be good for BET to globalize their ideas of "black music". Seeing different acts from different countries would be an eye opening experience for black people who do watch BET, and it would be good exposure for African music which is all too often underestimated. ( I'm sorry for leaving such a long comment.) lol

Funds boost cancer battle
BREAST cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death and affects 14,000 women in Australia annually.
Not wanting to stand idly on the sidelines, Anita Fitzgibbons of Fitzy's on Church hosted a luncheon in October that raised $15,000 for BreastScreen Queensland's Toowoomba Service.
Yesterday Ms Fitzgibbons proudly presented a cheque for $15,000 raised at the luncheon to Toowoomba Hospital for use within the Breast Screen unit.
"The Colour of Change lunch was designed to benefit Toowoomba and its people. Toowoomba has a great sense of community and spirit and people are always willing to help those in need," Ms Fitzgibbon said.
BreastScreen Queensland's Toowoomba health promotion officer Jessica Hobbs said breast screening was the best way to detect any signs of cancer at an early stage.
"We encourage family and friends or anyone that is close to you to come and get a breast screen before Christmas," Ms Hobbs said.

a sweet afternoon
7:49 PM | Posted by audrey | Edit Post
It is the first day of summer, and life couldn't be more beautiful. As I sit here on the couch, windows open, curtains softly blowing, sun shining, birds chirping, and sweet little sleeping baby in my arms...I feel so blessed. And so alive. This moment right here is what life is all about. Jeremy and Abby are napping together upstairs, and I am snuggling the world's snuggliest baby girl and relishing every second of it. We had Sadie because I missed having a baby (ok, maybe partly because we wanted Abby to have a sibling.) I misses the smallness. I missed the smell, and boy does this girl deliver. I must bury my face in her neck eight hundred times a day to breathe in that smell. And, oh, her cheeks! They are like two giant pillows. Honestly, I go to kiss them and my lips just keep sinking...and sinking...and sinking. I'm in heaven. This Spring was a bit of a whirlwind. We've been getting used to having two little people run our lives instead of just one...getting car problem after car problem fixed and paid for...going back to work...growing a garden...saying goodbye to my grandfather. I don't know what this summer holds in store for us, but I get the feeling it's going to be a good one.

Women's League for Conservative Judaism Focuses on 'Big Bold Steps'
The Women's League for Conservative Judaism is taking "Big Bold Steps" as it enters its second century. That was the title of the organization's plenary session at its recent annual convention, and it reflects the league's new agenda, zeroing in on a select number of issues and causes.
From July 23 to 26, 450 women clad in their purple shirts commemorating the League's 100 years attended workshops, listened to speakers, and bonded with other sisterhood members from throughout the United States and Canada.
The convention, which was held at the Crystal Gateway Marriott in Arlington, Virginia, marked the first time that the heads of all five Conservative seminaries were in the same room. It also featured the installation of its new president, Margie Miller, who will serve until 2020.
Outgoing President Carol Simon detailed the Big Bold Steps initiative, which was two years in the making and designed "to enrich every woman," she said.
Rather than getting involved in multiple projects, the League will focus on just three, providing program materials, information and support to its sisterhoods, said Simon.
Those social action projects include partnering with Sharsheret, a national organization that supports Jewish women and their families who have breast or ovarian cancer; creating Mathilde's Mentionables, which collects bras and feminine hygiene products for homeless women; and providing programs to support the modern Jewish family, regardless of sexual preferences or marriage status.
WLCJ will continue its support of Israel and the Conservative Jewish seminaries.
Included in the plans for the future is the closure of the League's Z'havah Institute, which was conceived to attract young, unaffiliated women not yet aware of sisterhood. It wasn't attracting younger members, Simon said.
The League will also stop paying dues to several groups, including the American Zionist Movement (AZM) and the Jewish Council for Public Affairs (JCPA), which Simon said wasn't providing them with anything they couldn't get just by going to JCPA's website.
"We need to evaluate where our resources go and have the most impact," she said.
Over the course of the four-day convention, the women held a Torah Fund luncheon, conducted workshops on a myriad of topics, listened to book authors and conducted a forum on North American Jewry and Israel, which touched on topics including the two-state solution, settlements, Jerusalem and religious pluralism.
Ellen Kaner Bresnick, convention cochair, explained that the League's mission "must be to truly enrich every woman through Jewish values and experiences."
All sisterhood programs should include the themes of Jewish wisdom, social justice and action, holidays, health and rituals, she said.
During her talk, Rabbi Abby Sosland from Solomon Schechter High School of Westchester urged the women to avoid labels and get to know, and welcome, everyone. She described herself as a 48-year-old single woman without children who often has been made to feel uncomfortable and unable to fit in.
She warned the women in attendance that ignoring people like her comes "at our peril."
People should not be made to feel ashamed because they don't fit into a set mold, she said. Widows, single heads of households, those outside the normal economic and social framework should not be treated as strangers to Judaism.
People don't want to be alone or feel isolated, she added.
While acknowledging that Judaism needs traditional families to thrive, Sosland said women on the margin must still be included. "It's time to celebrate that diversity," she said.
Speaker Karen Block, chair of WLCJ's Modern Jewish Family, agreed, noting that placing labels on people "is isolating. It's stigmatizing, and it's also unnecessary."
High holidays are the time to kick off sisterhood inclusive programs, she said.
Those attending the convention also learned about Sharsheret and Support the Girls.
Melissa Rosen, director of national outreach for Sharsheret, urged everyone to "make a difference" for someone with cancer. One out of every 500 people carry a BRCA gene that makes them more susceptible to breast and ovarian cancer.
One in 40 Ashkenazi Jewish are carriers, she said.
Dana Marlowe, founder of Support the Girls and and popularly known as "the bra fairy," thanked the League for creating Mathilde's Mentionables, noting her organization has already collected 135,000 bras and 850 menstrual products for homeless women, many whom have been wearing the same bra every day for years or use belts, ripped T-shirts, duct tape and cardboard in lieu of actual undergarments.

We got there LATE Friday night and little man wanted nothing to do with going to bed as soon as we got there. After crawling into bed with him and wrestling him to sleep, we finally dozed off at 2am.
Saturday morning we woke up, got dressed and headed out to Dinosaur World to take in all the life size dinos they have there. It was really interesting, but in hindsight we should have taken the stroller. Not even halfway little man got tired of walking and daddy got the job of keeping him on his shoulders the rest of the way. Boy was it HOT. It hit 102 degrees before we left Dinosaur World. Little man, loved all the dinosaurs and wanted to touch each one (explicitly NOT allowed) so we had to move quickly to avoid a little dare devil climbing fences.
We grabbed lunch and headed back to the hotel where we all enjoyed real Dublin Dr. Pepper (if you haven't ever had this pleasure, find it, indulge, and thank me later) and some fried chicken. After lunch we made it over to the hotels indoor pool. It was EMPTY! Yay for small favors. Once I finally talked a little man into wearing his life jacket, he had a BLAST swimming by himself. We swam and splashed and jumped for almost 2 hours. Insert awesome 2 hour family nap here.
If you want to see more pictures from our trip you can check out the scrap book I made with Picaboo. By the way, LOVE this program.

All Purpose Vinegar Spray: I mixed 1/4 cup Apple Cider Vinegar with 2 cups of water and added a couple drops of dish soap.
- Windows: Worked as good as the blue stuff but not better. Pass
- Counters: Worked as good as the chemical all purpose spray. Pass
Results: Worked Really well. I was very impressed how white this looked. Total PASS
See before and after photos in my post about Spring Cleaning Problems and Solutions.
Dishes: I've only done one load in the dishwasher adding vinegar to the rinse aid compartment. I still used my little soap packet but I do think there is less of a chalky residue inside the cups and bowls. I'll have to do a few more loads before I'm ready to say for sure that this passes.
After trying out some cleaning solutions with apple cider vinegar I have to say I am impressed. I thought it would smell bad but it just had a slight vinegar smell that dissipated after a bit and it was much better than the harsh feeling in my eyes and throat when I would accidentally breathe while using the chemical cleaners. I'm actually excited to try out some more all natural cleaning.

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With
Dr. Wright have been a licensed clinical psychologist in the state of Texas since 2012, and completed her Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) degree in 2011 from Midwestern University in Downers Grove, Illinois. She has worked with a variety of populations in many settings, including several psychiatric hospitals, an outpatient addiction center, a county mental health center, a juvenile department and runaway shelter, and a skilled nursing rehabilitation facility. She has targeted her training experiences to provide a well-rounded set of therapeutic skills to address many life issues. Dr. Wright founded Wright Wellness to create compassionate, collaborative, and accessible mental health services in the private practice setting.
Women's Issues:
The majority of her clinical research has focused primarily on women's issues, including the individual needs of women and their treatment outcomes. Because of her time devoted to this topic, she has a continued interest in working with women and their needs.
Mind and Body:
She also has a special interest in the relationship between the mind and the body, and believes overall wellness comes from both mental and physical health. Therefore, she also encourage the consideration of walk and talk therapy, a newer therapeutic approaches that involves walking during psychotherapy sessions, which incorporates the whole body.

My Therapy Focus
Dr. Wright's theoretical orientation, or the way she approaches psychotherapy with her patients, is a combination of several evidence-based treatments, primarily Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI). With these approaches, we will explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and how they might limit you, as well as build upon your individual strengths. She believes each person is different, and her focus is on your symptoms and goals, rather than a diagnostic label. She will work with you to best address your needs and overall wellness.

DETROIT >> That's one way to have your managerial news fly under the radar.
Within mere minutes of the news leaking out that the Detroit Tigers were bringing back Brad Ausmus, the American League Wild Card game was settled when Buck Showalter steadfastly refused to pitch his Cy Young candidate closer Zach Britton on the road in an extra-inning tie game.
And suddenly, any managerial move Ausmus might have made that annoyed, confused or frustrated fans and critics and fans paled mightily in comparison.
Radar, under.
The timing was, of course, purely coincidental.
The Detroit News' Chris McCosky broke the news at 12:26 a.m. that, according to a source, the Tigers were exercising the team option on Ausmus' contract, but that the team had not confirmed. So it wasn't exactly a team trying to hide news with a press release on the Friday of a holiday weekend.
[UPDATE: The Tigers officially announced they were picking up the 2017 option shortly after 1 p.m. on Wednesday. "Brad was instrumental in leading the team through adversity and with the development of our younger players, particularly the young starting pitchers," general manager Al Avila said in a news release. "The team improved from last season, and under the leadership of Brad and his coaching staff, the ball club kept fighting and remained in contention for the postseason . Moving forward, we want to build off that progress."]
Still, two minutes later, Ulbaldo Jimenez gave up the game-winning home run to Toronto's Edwin Encarnacion, and the news about Ausmus was effectively buried.
If the report is true, it's big for the Tigers in that it won't be another offseason with primary energies focused on a managerial search, rather than figuring out how to improve on a second-place finish, just 2.5 games shy of the Tigers forcing themselves into play-in games with Toronto and Baltimore.
The Tigers have a 250-234 record in three seasons under Ausmus, finishing first, last and second. They were 0-3 in the 2014 AL Division Series against Baltimore in which Ausmus made a couple of bullpen decisions he's still criticized for, three seasons later.
The manager was expected to meet early this week with general manager Al Avila to discuss the contract option, and Ausmus' job going forward.
The Tigers' 12-game improvement from 2015 was tied for third-best among all MLB clubs.

Miss Alice and I went to see her pediatric neurologist, Dr. Susan Arnold, today. Dr. Arnold has had a chance to pore over her most recent MRI results and had some interesting observations. First, she saw no evidence that Alice's condition is in any way partially congenital. This is significant. You see, as far as we knew when we adopted Alice, she had been a normal infant up until around 11 or 12 months of age, and that something had occurred at that time -- some kind of injury, either deliberate or accidental -- which dramatically changed her brain development and caused the right side of her brain to have scarring and severe atrophy.
A couple of years ago, when we first noticed her having seizures, the neurologist in Des Moines did another MRI, and the group's consensus was that her problems stemmed from two sources -- that she was injured, yes, but that there was an indication of something called a "migrational disorder" that was present at birth.
Today, Dr. Arnold said she saw no evidence for that at all, that as far as she could tell, whatever happened to Alice was a result of injury... an injury that happened fairly early on, because Alice's left hand and foot are significantly smaller than her right counterparts. This is consistent with what we had been told at the very beginning.
This also means that she is a better candidate for possible surgery to either separate the hemispheres or remove the affected part of the brain altogether. If her problems were a migrational disorder, there wouldn't be a good way to separate that out.
It's hard to think about, letting doctors open up my baby girl's head and take out part of her brain. But it may be her best chance at something close to normalcy. Letting her continue to experience the seizures just isn't a good thing; at any time, she could have a severely big one that could short out her entire brain and leave her paralyzed or dead. If surgery could help lessen that high risk, then it may be what we have to do.
Doesn't mean I like the idea, though.
There are times when I seriously dislike having to be a grownup.

Grub Tales: Jenna Blum
JENNA BLUM is the New York Times bestselling author of THOSE WHO SAVE US and THE STORMCHASERS (out May 27, 2010, wherever books are sold!). Jenna has taught at Grub Street Writers since its inception in 1997 and writes the Writers' Advice Column for the Grub Street Free Press. Follow Jenna on her book & storm tour for THE STORMCHASERS on her website, www.jennablum.com, or on Facebook.
RUN FOR GRUB: How did you learn about Grub Street?
JENNA BLUM: I've known about Grub since the olden days, its inception in 1997. I was graduating from B.U.'s creative writing workshop and Eve Bridburg, who'd graduated the year before me, kindly took a chance on me as a fiction workshop teacher and, for a short and terrifying time, administrative assistant. This meant I sat on the second floor of Eve's house in Somerville, where the Grub offices were located then, and looked confusedly at paperwork, then went out on the back porch to smoke. Ah, all the things that are gone with the wind. Luckily for writers everywhere, Grub is not one of them. I'm so proud to have watched this community grow from the days when Eve and I drove around handing out pamphlets for Grub's two writing classes (fiction and poetry) to the fantastic, dynamic, thousandfold writer-life-support community it is now.
RUN FOR GRUB: What has Grub Street meant to you?
JENNA BLUM: I would no longer live in Boston if it weren't for Grub. I have lived in other cities (New York City, London, Minneapolis) and they had their charms, but they don't have Grub. Nowhere have I encountered a writing community so strong and supportive, with such warm, funny, talented, caring writers who know each other's characters as well as they know each other. Almost all of my dearest friends are from my Grub classes. All of my students are phenomenal. And I'm happy to say that my novelists' books are starting to come out on the shelves (Randy Susan Meyers' THE MURDERER'S DAUGHTERS, Iris Gomez's TRY TO REMEMBER). So watch out, world. Grub Street Writers are taking over.
RUN FOR GRUB: What's your most magical Grub Street memory?
JENNA BLUM: Once, in one of my novel workshops, one of the participants began to cry (and it wasn't the writer being workshopped!). She held up the portion of the novel we were discussing—it happened to be the book's ending—and said, "This is what good writing is supposed to do. I'm just so—so—moved!"
I also love the moments at the Muse & the Marketplace when I'm standing in the Manuscript Mart and looking at all the writers, agents, and editors. You can just see them all as kids, the smartest in all of their respective third grade classes.
RUN FOR GRUB: How did your time at Grub Street prepare you for the rigors of storm chasing?
JENNA BLUM: I know this isn't exactly answering the question you asked, but I'm going to pull a Sarah Palin and talk about what I want to talk about instead. It's sorta related: without Grub, I wouldn't have been able to write my second novel, THE STORMCHASERS, which features, surprise, stormchasing. I had terrible writer's block between my first and second novels, in part because I had rather stupidly given up smoking. I didn't want to give up smoking. I loved smoking. It was like Styron's experience quitting drinking, which he describes in his memoir about depression, DARKNESS VISIBLE: his body decided for him that he was no longer able to drink. Because I was getting migraines from smoking, I gave it up—and then, because I had been writing and smoking for over 20 years, I also gave up writing fiction. I just didn't know how to do it anymore.
Grub Street, and Ron MacLean in particular, led me back to the fold. I write the Writers' Advice column for the Grub Street Free Press, and Ron gentled me through my first days back at the writing desk by soliciting these nonfiction pieces. Then he cleverly suggested I write about stormchasing for the Freep. Because I found I was able to write nonfiction about things I loved—stormchasing and writing—I was able to segue back into fiction. If it weren't for Grub and Ron letting me write about chasing for the Freep, instead of finishing THE STORMCHASERS (out May 27!) I would still be sitting staring sadly at the big ol' empty red ashtray.
RUN FOR GRUB: How did your time at Grub Street give you the strength to run toward a tornado instead of the hell away from it?
JENNA BLUM: I had to. I had to finish the danged Freep articles, didn't I?
RUN FOR GRUB: Any advice for me should a tornado hit while I'm running my marathon around the lake?
JENNA BLUM: Run like hell in the opposite direction.
Editor's Note: Jenna Blum's book launch for The Stormchasers is at the Coolidge Corner Theatre this Thursday (May 27) at 6p.m. Tickets are $5 and must be purchased in advance through the Brookline Booksmith.

Image: "Art of memory by Fludd, 1621" from Wellcome Trust: CC-BY 4.0
Continuing the theme started in the Tusk of the Unicorn, exploring the boundaries and tensions between the familiar and the strange in the way we navigate our personal spaces, this section focuses more closely on the similar tensions in the digital sphere, particularly with regards to the fields of Educational technology.
Before the proliferation of print media, learning and knowledge acquisition relied on the dual skills of memorising and recitation. This supported by the ancient techniques of Ars Memoria to build a complex internal database of connections, fully categorised and cross-referenced to aid recall. Many scholars lamented the loss of these complex skills with the advent of print (Cousins, 118, 2005).
Indeed, Plato (quoting Socrates) was the first writer to attack the new technology of 'writing' for essentially having a fixed form, no interlocutor with which to fully shape ideas "… once it is written, every composition is trundled about everywhere in the same way". He also criticised the detrimental effect this new technology of 'writing' would have on the way students' learn:
"[writing] will create forgetfulness in the learners' souls, because they will not use their memories; they will trust to the external written characters and not remember of themselves"
(Gee, 69, 2015)
There is a long tradition of 'resistance and embrace' (Bayne, 457, 2015) with emerging technologies – from Plato with writing circa 400BC through the New York Times describing the epidemic of 'camera lunatics' – in 1884! To the backlash against the Google 'Glassholes' in 2014.
Within the field of educational technology, however, there is an acknowledged lack of academic critique of the field. A field largely considered a 'positive project' (Selwyn, 32, 2014) where tools are seen as neutral, criticism as technophobia, and resistance as regressive. Even the widely used term 'technology-enhanced learning ' (TEL), considered an inoffensive shorthand for the field, contains value-laden judgements and assumptions that deserve deeper analysis (Bayne, 5, 2104).
It is not just the language that is under scrutiny for its lack of scrutiny. The open education as a movement in educational technology, has also 'acquired a sheen of naturalised common sense and legitimacy' that renders those who critique it as technophobes, cynics and elitist (Bayne et al, 247, 2015).
This opens up real challenges for all of us who work in the field of educational technology, or TEL, where a large part of our role is to demonstrate the opportunities that educational technology can offer, to embrace the 'positive' , the affordances they contain. We are the custodians of the digital Wunderkammer – the cabinet of tech 'tools' we can offer up our audience and the world of possibilities they contain. We are potentially those who Selwyn describes as 'drinking the Ed-Tech Kool-Aid' (Selwyn. 439, 2015), sitting at the uncomfortable mid-point between the 'resistance and embrace'.
Selwyn does not hold back in his open hostility to the 'bullshit' of 'Ed Tech Speak', challenging the honesty of such descriptions of online spaces as 'hangouts', 'cafes' and 'hubs'.
This highlights the tension in the way we seek connections between the two worlds of the traditional and the digital, using metaphors, skuemorphism to make familiar the potentially new and unfamiliar, map what is known and meaningful onto what is potentially unknown. Language itself is metaphorically structured', (Lakoff, 5, 2003) and we transcribe the language of traditional learning onto digital spaces in order to create meaningful connections with existing concepts (Cousins, 122, 2005).
That can be problematic when we select metaphorical descriptions that are culturally unfamiliar and potentially alienating. Sentences have no meaning without context and that context is different for different people (Lakoff, 12, 2003).
It is beyond the scope of this essay to explore sociolinguistics further but as Fiere describes in his work on emancipatory linguistics 'reading the world always precedes reading the word'. But whose world? – whose social reality are we reading and describing (Gee, 88, 2015).
Selwyn's main criticism is the lazy language, the tired buzz words and taglines, cutesy terms such as 'Raspberry Pi', 'digital badges' (Selwyn, 439, 2016). His contention is that 'Ed Tech Speak' is not neutral language but highly political and value-laden and that we should challenge its use more robustly.

I am on such a high right now. I've wanted to share this for over a week now, but I wanted to wait for my friend Sherry to share her story on Facebook. Well, she finally did today! It goes along with my post about the 30-day challenge from Mark Batterson and feeding the homeless last week.
Having read my "church in the car" post, Sherry decided to take on the 30-day challenge for herself. Well, I'll let her tell you (p.s. Warren is our mutual friend):
Ok..I guess it's about time to tell my story. First of all, if you haven't read Jenn Collins' blog on here called 'Church in the Car', you need to..it's really good! In her blog, she mentions that the pastor she was listening to in the car challenged the congregation with a 30 day challenge. He said to pick one thing that you want to pray about and pray for it for 30-days. Before any of this happened, Warren had challenged me with really sticking with my devotions. Before him, I hadn't done devotions in probably a year. So, I started off just reading a devo book and reading the bible and keeping a journal. I had the worst attitude going into it, thinking I don't really have time for this..I'll take maybe 5 minutes and do this. Little did I know that God was already working in my life in an amazing way. I thought about what I would pray for during the 30-day challenge. I thought about praying for a husband, I thought about praying for myself and the things I was going through, but I started to think about it and I just didn't want to pray for anything like that. Instead, I would pray that I could somehow make some sort of an impact in the life of another person or even the world (yeah i was thinking big=)). So, I started praying that the Lord would use me to make any sort of impact. Even if that meant taking me out of my comfort zone and putting me in a situation where I can be used to further the Kingdom of Heaven, that is my ultimate goal..to lead others to our Creator! I started the challenge on Wed, June 27th. On Friday, June 29th, I got out of work and saw there was a text message on my phone. It was Warren and all the message said was: do you want to go with me to feed the homeless tonight? I about dropped my phone! I was amazed that in such a short time God had answered my prayer and in such an unbelievable way! I, of course, told Warren yes and we went that night and fed sandwiches to homeless people laying on the street in Bayside. It was incredible, an extremely sad and humbling time. The experience touched both Warren and me and since then he has completely taken off with the whole idea of helping out the homeless. He's doing amazing things and God is using both of us to help just make some sort of a dent in the world and in turn hopefully bringing more people to follow Christ Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Since then, I have gone back again and Jenn and Joel Collins went with us. It was humbling once again. If you read this and you feel compelled to help out or you feel the Holy Spirit tugging at your heart, please don't hesitate to contact me about it! We could always use more people to go there with us. Warren is doing amazing things with this and this will hopefully become a HUGE ministry. If you would like to get involved, let me know or if you would like to start a 30-day challenge, go right ahead, all you have to do is start praying! I'm still continuing to do my daily devotions and asking God to continue to use me during this time.
I'm so stinkin proud of her and so excited about what God is doing in her life. I love stories of life change, especially when they happen to my best friend! God is good!

Wednesday Morning took our time and had a leisurely breakfast after walking the dogs. Dropped the top and reduced mooring ropes to just a centre line ready to move as soon as somebody came along to share locks with. Several cuppa's later and past ten o'clock we decided to go it alone as no sign of life yet. Filled the lock which had part emptied overnight, and set off. Lock cycled and bottom gates open but no movement, we're aground in the lock.
Karen opened a gate paddle which gave me enough water to scrape out of the lock so she could close the gates again.
Sod's law just as Karen rejoined the boat a BW chap called across to tell us that there is another boat behind which will be here in 5 minutes. Shout back that we will wait for them at the next lock. Asked Karen to stand on the bow to keep a lookout. (Didn't like to tell her she was also up there as movable ballast). Scraped and bumped along at little more than tickover to Gee's Lock to wait for our partner. Through Gee's without incident and the next pound does not seem so bad. Through Blue Bank Lock letting our partner go first as they draw less than us. Odd scrape here and there but not too bad until we reach bridge 103
way. Well stuck, started giving some revs and swinging the stern without much result, then started rocking her side to side. Slowly but surely we start to make progress and we are off. Ten yards later we are stuck again under the bridge, this time we have to take more care owing to all the shopping trolleys. Again the rocking works, wriggling along the bottom and we are off again. As we emerge from the bridge – you guessed it – though this time we are off quite quickly because we're getting the hang of this slithering lark. Just as we free ourselves for the last time Philip from BW calls to ask if we are OK, apparently our partners are getting worried their schedule may slip as Phil won't let them lock down without us. Happily I'm able to give Phil an ETA of 5 minutes or so. Do boaters have schedules - we work in days or weeks. Through Kings lock and back into deep water – the last three locks up and down have been quite an education for us. Soar Valley
Easy going from now on. Started having to work the engine harder after Aylestone Lock and suspected something was round the prop. This could be fun the weed hatch has not been opened since the problems before we took delivery. Stopped after the next lock and the weed hatch came out with no problem at all to find my suspicions were correct.
Bits of fertiliser bag, wire and knicker elastic all wrapped round the prop. Managed to cut the wire without dropping the cutters and it was soon cleared off.
Another first, weed hatch used in anger. Never owned a boat with a weed hatch before. It also gave me a chance to give the prop the once over after our excursion but could find no visible damage. The rest is history as they say – made it all the way though
Leicester to where we stopped on the first night to give the dogs a good run. We were absolutely shattered, no need for rocking that night.
Thursday back to Pillings in the rain. All being well we will be out again next week for a few days but I think we will go north this time.
Ahhhhhhh this boating lark is sooooo relaxing!.

July 10, 2017 – Monday
Proverbs 15:33 [KJV] The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honor is humility.
There are many ways workers spend their lunchbreak. Most days, I spend mine with a salad and the computer screen displaying some learned article or course text. The time spent feeds both my body and mind.
One afternoon I was munching along and reading an article with the main message, "Who you are is how you lead." The article asked the reader to identify words or phrases that best define who you are. In response, I found myself thinking, "What makes God happy?" "Do I appreciate God's creation around me?" And finally, "What makes me happy?"
Before I even realized it, I was spending lunchtime with God!
While the article's aim was to help others produce their best at work, I realized God's Word gives me the best self-help and professional development. In fact, including God in my day-to-day work is the only way I can do my best.
So, are you making God happy on this workday? I know, some days being a good Christian public servant just takes a little more time and effort. It's not always easy to make Him happy.
Today, why not spend lunchtime with God? The time spent will not only make God happy, it will help you do your best for the remainder of the workday.
Father, please never let me get so full of myself, or full of the analytical philosophies of professional self-help, that I can't see Your hand and guidance in all things. Let Your Spirit guide me to become a better person and leader. Please keep me uncomplicated, humble, and ready to serve all so that You receive the glory. I pray this in Jesus' name. Amen.

hi there
well, wouldn't you know, in the space of a week i seem to be the proud owner of two of these "ebook" or "ereader" (add hyphons as you feel the need) devices. i now have a kobo and a gobii. the kobo was purchased as Pick N Pay, apparently heading towards the end of their exclusive distribution deal, had knocked R200 off the price. the gobii was a most generous gift from my brother-in-law, Grant, and indeed Gillian and Katie and Daniel, in advance of my birthday.
at the time of writing this, i can tell you that the price of each was the same - R799. for an interesting comparison for you, the most famous of these devices, the amazon kindle, costs R1499 at an entry level model. that means you could (like me) get both of these devices for just R100 more than you would spend on the rather more famous one.
in fairness, i have never handled a kindle. i cannot with any level of knowledge tell you, then, that either or both are better than the amazon product. what i can do, however, is give you my findings on both of these devices on the off chance you have googled me and are considering a buy. if this helps, bonus.
a warning up front, though - i believe the gobii at present is only available in South Africa. if you are not from down here, well, sorry, some info will not be of much use here, but i cannot for the life of me think in the most basic of terms how one colour ereader would be radically different from another.
moving on then, and what do you get for your money would be a good first question. with the kobo, you get the kobo. with the gobii you get a nice pouch (currently housing our kobo until the kobo cover lands from, oddly, amazon) and a R160 voucher for ebooks from kalahari.com, that website presently being the only place you can buy a gobii from. kind of 1-0 gobii at the moment, then, although in fairness when you register with kobo they give you a discount voucher.
my gobii, if you must ask, is housed in a most smart leather case, also a gift from the gang in NZ.
what's reading like on both of them, you may well ask next. mostly enjoyable and rather addictive. i was wary of an ereader to start with, finding reading a book on a PC tiresome, but i was pleasantly surprised. it is an absolute pleasure to read on either of these devices. i managed to finish off a 250+ page book in just over a day, on and off, something i rarely could do with a standard book.
something i had read on the internet reviews was that the colour ereaders "might" give you a headache. well, perhaps they did for some people, but not for me. it's basically an LCD screen, smaller but otherwise no different from a PC monitor or fancy television. if you don't get headaches from that it is unlikely that you will get one from reading on the gobii, then.
the glare thing with a colour ereader is, alas, true. it was impossible outside unless in the shade. directly under lights in the house was problematic too. no such problem, inside or out, with the kobo. if you are a frequent reader in all sorts of random lighting circumstances, the kobo is the one.
navigating a book differs on the two. the kobo being called a "kobo touch" tells you that it is entirely touch screen, save for a menu button and a power button. i have a natural tendency to have touch screen devices, what with having big hands and thus big fingers and thumbs. for the most part i was fine touching the sides to go to the next page, but every now and then i "double tapped" and skipped a page, or somehow hit the middle and brought up the menu.
gobii offers a no-nonsense button only approach. i wouldn't call my issues with the touch screen on the kobo a major stumbling block, but my preference would be for the buttons. i think the cheap, entry level kindle is all touch, except it seems from the pictures to have page navigation buttons. that would have been very nice, but probably very lawsuit inviting, on the kobo. once you get the hang of it it's pretty straightforward.
if you are using your ereader as an ereader alone, storage space is almost irrelevant. for the record, though, the kobo has a 2GB capacity, but 1GB is reserved for "operating software". the 1GB left is for books, and that is enough to store hundreds if not thousands. how many can you read at once?
the gobii is a 4GB device, with roughly 3.5GB available for storage. a very neat trick of the gobii is that it plays most video file formats and music too, so you may well end up using that. if for some reason the onboard space is not enough, both feature a "micro SD" slot for a memory card. go wild.
gobii's impressive range of functions comes with a price, and that price is battery life. you can get about 10 hours of reading or 5 hours of music and/or video off a full charge. oh dear. the kobo, however, will give many hours of reading, with an "average use" seeing a full charge last for about a month.
which one would be the one to get, then? to be honest, and as much as i rather like amazon, if you have the funds for a kindle and are considering buying one, rather just buy both of these. i don't travel a great deal and thus at a push the gobii would be the slight favourite for me since it's easy enough to recharge overnight. but i wouldn't want to give up on my kobo at all, although my (considerably) better half seems to have "adopted" it, along with that Fifty Shades business.
i am not sure me saying "get both if you can" is much help, but if it has been, splendid! in summary, though, if you are mostly reading in or around the home then the gobii (or variant in your country) strikes me as the winner; for those who take many travels for whatever reason the kobo seems ace.
my great thanks to Grant, Gillian, Katie and Daniel once again - this device really is splendid in the woo woo what a tomato sense and is one of the most class gifts i have ever been given!
happy reading!
be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
