In America we have only one choice between two gardens. There are, despite popular opinion, no other choices, since there is only one choice between the Truth and a lie. Therefore, there is only one choice between the Truth of Gethsemane or the lie of Eden.
The Truth of Gethsemane tells us that Jesus is in solidarity with our suffering, making all of our suffering meaningful within our faith, and hope, and charity. The lie of Eden tells us, in the form of the serpent, that God has banished us to suffering, leaving us desolate in a land without meaning. This lie is manifested in atheistic materialism and the pseudo-philosophies of evolution.
The Truth of the garden of Gethsemane tells us that Jesus freely drank of the cup of wrath, out of love for us, to save us from sin and death. The lie of the garden of Eden tells us that, in the form of the serpent, there is no sin, and that we are gods. This is manifest in 'women's reproductive rights,' euthanasia, and gay 'marriage.'
The Truth of the garden of Gethsemane tells us that Jesus' Loving, and Sacrificial, submission to the Will of the Father is linked to the Last Supper and the Cross, therefore, perpetuating His saving grace, in the here and now, in the Eucharist. The Truth of the garden of Gethsemane tells us that we are made anew in the Mercy of the Trinity, from the Blood of the Christ. The lie of the garden of Eden is the perpetual sin of 'the tower of Babel,' manifest in a utopian-political attempt at recreating the preternatural human person within the preternatural socialist society.
The Truth of the garden of Gethsemane tells us that salvation is found solely in Jesus, 'the way, the truth, and the life,' and is marked in the Paschal Mystery of His suffering, and His Love, united with ours. The lie of the garden of Eden tells us that we should turn our back on God and listen to every snake in the grass. This lie tells us that the unchanging naked truth of the human person is merely religious superstition, and that men and women will find truth wearing the fig leaf of scientism and democratic popular trends.
The Truth of the garden of Gethsemane tells us all we need to know about Jesus, about the devil, about human weakness, and about salvation in the Sacrificial Love of God. The lie of the garden of Eden tells us nothing of the truth of Eden. For the snake only tells us lies, and, beyond the fig leaf, we are seduced through original sin into continually entertaining its presence. Eden seems to promise god-like human perfection. Eden seems to promise the lust that needs a fig leaf. Eden seems to promise no need for God. For Eden-worship is nothing more than the tomfoolery of sinful nostalgia. But Eden is God's Creation. Eden is God's marriage to the human person in perfect betrothal. Eden is the 'imago dei' of the man and the woman becoming one in love. And even in the fall from Eden we find grace upon grace in the Cross and Resurrection of the Christ.
Finally, the Truth of the Garden of Gethsemane reveals the Christ of the Good Samaritan, the Son whose Father is Prodigal Mercy, and the Spirit which turns sleepy, and scared, Apostles into courageous saints. This is the God of Mercy, Justice and Truth. The lie of Eden leaves us with nothing but the temporal whims of this passing world, which are nothing but banishment from all of the above.
Do you have anything to add? God bless!

It's one thing when the manager of a team that finished last in 2010 talks about 'pushing the envelope' offensively, quite another when he then illustrates his theories on opening night.
A day after talking the talk, Eric Wedge and the Seattle Mariners walked the walk in their 6-2 victory over Oakland.
Yes, Felix Hernandez was semi-spectacular, delivering the 14th complete game of his career and shutting the A's out over the final eight innings. Behind, that new infield defense worked perfectly.
But for those who watched Seattle's offense ruin game after game a year ago, it wasn't exactly comforting when the Mariners got through five ininngs trailing, 2-1.
Before the night ended, however, the Mariners had eight hits - including a Chone Figgins home run - seven walks and three stolen bases. Push the envelope? Wedge had Ichiro and Figgins running. When No. 8 hitter Brendan Ryan led off the sixth inning with a single, No. 9 hitter Jack Wilson bunted him to second.
"We're going to try to get Ichiro up in RBI situations," Wedge said.
Ichiro came up in one, and after first trying to bunt for a hit - and fouling the pitch off - he singled home the tying run.
"I told you we were going to be better offensively," Felix said. "Six runs? Awesome!"
Throughout camp, Wedge and batting coach Chris Chambliss preached patience at the plate, demanding Mariners hitters swing at strikes, make the opposing pitcher work and, if they got the pitch they wanted, letting the bat fly.
"When you go to the plate ready to hit, you don't chase as many bad pitches, you make the pitcher work harder," Figgins said. "We're going up there ready to hit."
All that pushing and patience and walking seemed to unglue the Athletics, who committed five errors behind six of their pitchers.
"Everything was good tonight, the hitting, the defense …" Felix said.
And the pitching?
"Everything!" he said, beaming. "It was fun!"
Nine innings, 108 pitches. Hernandez allowed five hits, no walks and struck out five. In four opening night starts, he's now 3-0 with a 1.71 ERA.
That's pushing the envelope.

# of ED Visits Per Year ?
I work at a community hospital that has a very busy E.D. They tell us it is the busiest in the area (and the definition of "area" is what I question). People are skeptical when I repeat that statement.
So I was wondering....how many visits per year does YOUR hospital's E.D. get? I'd like to compare notes. Our E.D. has, I believe, 15 rooms. The hospital itself is licensed for 329 beds but only has about 220 open. The Telemetry unit--which is always slammed with admissions--usually runs at 36 beds but has the capacity of 48 (need more staff!). ICU 18 beds.
(I'm going to post this under General too--not *too* much action here under the Specialties).
Thank you for your help!Last edit by Zee_RN on May 20, '03

RN, Inpatient Hospice; from US
Specialty: 17 year(s) of experience in Hospice, Critical CareMay 20, '03Togehter the Adult ETC and the Children's Emergency Center (CEC) see about 82,500 visits each year. Our hospital has over 600 licensed beds and we are under construction right now.May 20, '03The hospital I did my ED clinical in this semester gets about 65,000 visits a year. It's the second busiest ED in the state. The busiest gets about 68,000 per year.
This is in a city with at least 10 hospitals. The busiest hospital is in the suburbs about 10 minutes away.May 20, '03The hospital I used to work at had around 60,000 ER visits per year including the peds ER. This was a Level II Community hospital. ICU-36 bed, OB 44 bed, Tele 40, Step Down 30 and of course all of the specialty floors for a total of 500 beds. They were busy, most in the area, but again that wasn't well defined. There was a Level I trauma center about 15 miles down the road.May 20, '03Busy places! Our E.D. gets 40,000 visits a year. We are level II so we don't do trauma. We don't do open hearts. There are a bunch of hospitals in the city but not in our suburban area. Considering our low number of open beds (~200), 40,000 visits is very busy. I have the utmost respect for nurses who work E.D. I got pulled there the other day for a couple hours just as a "helper" and it just reinforced my love of the ICU!
(Of course, they had me triage a psych patient. Never triaged anyone in my life and I get a truly bizarre schizophrenic!)May 20, '03I am part of 2 hospital system in a single mid-western city both with acute ED's. These hospitals absorb patients from a 9 county area. One does heart cath and bypass and the other does not. The non-heart hospital has specialty for peds/OB/psych(yech). Both have ICU's but obviously the heart hospital has more ICU heart patients. Heart ED sees about 28,000/year in a brand new ED with 25+ beds. The non-heart hospital sees 36,000 in an ED that is 23 years old and was desined for 18,000 patients/year. Both ED's see equal amounts trauma, 95%+ blunt as mechanism.May 21, '03Zee our ED has similar stats to yours. Approximately 350 beds, ED consists of 25 reg. beds and 12 fast track beds. WE do not have OB in our hospital. ICU/CCU consists of 12 beds and we see abut 70,000 pt's a year.May 28, '03Our ER has 30 regular beds and 8 fast track. This year we will be close to 60,000 visits.Sep 12, '03Our ED had about 48,000 visits last year. We are on track to see about 20% more people this year. We are a level II that see some trauma, mostly blunt. Most of our patient load is high acuity medicals and hearts. We admit 56% of all hospital admissions.Sep 12, '03Hey,
Our ED sees 82,000 a year has 40 beds and 10 fast care beds. Six Trauma rooms and nooooo staff.
Y2KRNSep 12, '03:chuckle
our little rural ED see's approximately 150 pts. per day. :chuckle seems like such a little number compared to some of your ED's.

'Dali anecdote'. He was a publicist who understood that the public likes a good story. In 1936, he gave a talk in London on 'plumbing the surrealist depths' wearing a diving suit replete with an extravagant piece of diving headwear. He apparently would have suffocated had not some helpful individual come to the rescue by dislodging the said
headwear with a billiard cue. ,He was also .
notoriously temperamental, having a long- running feud with the filmmaker Luis Bunuel

with whom he collaborated on the films Un Chien Andalou and L'Age d'or.
Yet, it is perhaps the anecdotes of a more sexual nature that give high colour to the life of Dali. He furnished his Parisian apartment with vases of spikenards because when squeezed, the white flowers exuded a fluid that resembled sperm. But for Dali, sex was more a spectator sport. He purportedly slept with his wife and muse Gala only once, making the post-coital announcement that
that was her lot. Instead, Dali preferred DIY gratification. He would masturbate behind his easel while a group of nymphets posed naked for him. Yet, he frequently declared he was impotent and had'a fear of physical intimacy. He liked to watch others and could be obsessive. He allegedly watched the transvestite April Ashley perform at the Paris drag club, Le Carrousel every night for six weeks in the late 1960s.
Yet, as easy as it is to see Dali as a voyeur

There have been a number of atrocities committed all around the world by people with guns. For one reason or another, or for none at all, people have taken their guns outside and turned them on innocent people. Some of these have been carried out in the UK.
Hungerford and Dunblane jump easily to mind. But we have a government who look after us legislatively and a Police force who do it on the ground. Their response has been to ban guns. Ban anything that might be a gun. Shotguns are licenced and are subject to various rules, which keep the ammunition away from the gun itself etc. etc.
The end result is that only the Police and the criminals now hold real guns. The unfortunate results of the legislation and the slow but obvious change to the status of the Police within our communities have come home to roost.
Two police officers were killed yesterday. Shot by a criminal who is above the law and will remain above the law. That this should happen at all is shameful, that it should happen in a planned manner and have escalated the level of violence through the use of hand grenades unfortunately confirms the failure of both the government and the Police in dealing with firearm legislation and control.
A few weeks ago, four men decided to burgle a house. In doing so they entered the building and were shot. They were not seriously injured although two of them required hospital treatment. The man and woman in the house ended up in Police cells for three days. They were charged. They will appear in court. They may end up in prison.
When the burglars decided to burgle that particular house they stepped outside of the law. They had intent. They were doing so with malice. Having stepped outside the law they had taken full responsibility for their actions and for whatever response they might have to face.
Being shot at and injured probably wasn't included in their plans but what if it had been? Would they have carried the burglary out?
What will the response be to the killings yesterday? More body armour for police officers? They already wear stab protective armour which has made the police look like paramilitaries and which may have prejudiced the way in which we interact with the police. Do we want the police injured or killed? Of course not but neither do we want them to behave as if we are all criminals who haven't been caught yet.
Retaining DNA samples, CCTV, web and mobile phone surveillance, kettling, armed Police at peaceful demonstrations, excessive force, providing information to the press, etc. etc. have not done and will continue not to do the Police any favours with the public. Hillsborough also raises questions and reduces the fait we have in them.
Yesterday a senior Police Officer reminded us that the Police are the public and the public are the Police. Really? Since when? How long ago is it since that was the case?
Don't get me wrong here. The Police are vital in our society. They do a dangerous job. We need them to keep law and order when the occasion requires it. They are well paid, trained, pensioned and equipped from the public purse.
Having all guns owned by the Police and criminals is a recipe for disaster. It means that the criminals can buy guns and more as they see fit. Thankfully they tend to use them on each other rather than on the public and even less on the Police.
Loosening up the gun control laws and allowing licences for suitable people to carry concealed weapons might just actually help things. It might result in criminals buying even more guns? Maybe, but that cat is way, way, way out of the bag. It would make criminals think a bit harder before deciding to do something. In the States this is the case as it is in other countries.
At the same time we need a suitable response from the Police to start policing like they are the public and have, once more, the public being the police. It seems unlikely as things stand at the moment.
The politicians should stop and take note. Their first response will be to use their two favourite and only tools. They will toughen up the law, they will increase fines, they will criminalise us further and/or take our money, that's all their intellect is capable of.
For the two Police officers who died yesterday we feel compassion and sadness at their untimely and violent deaths. The newspapers will be full of anger as they will be when the criminal who is above the law is tried. Lots of words will be written.
No one will tackle the real reasons this human tragedy happened.
Why is he above the law? Because there is no sanction available beyond locking him up. He has to be shown the error of his ways and be able to re-join our society. The European Court of human Rights says so or he can sue us if he is not rehabilitated.
Calls for the death penalty for the murder of Police officers have been. It should not matter who the murder victim is the penalty should be the same. No special cases whether it's the death penalty or not.

As soon as you've read the article below you'll understand what we are speaking about. Our intention is news and knowledge which is occurring now. Find it, read it , share it - that is what info is all about.
It can be difficult to do even the simplest tasks when your mind is filled with anxiety. You may even find yourself withdrawing from society and making excuses to avoid gatherings because of your anxiety. This may make you feel alone, so this article is an important resource.
Have a trusted resource to call on, whenever you may be subject to an attack. Be it a relative or friend, you should have someone who is aware of your condition and can help talk you through an attack. Having to face one alone is very overwhelming, and you will work through them quicker if you have someone to help.
If you have an anxiety problem, then you should cut down on sugar and caffeine. Sometimes these things can make you feel even more nervous than usual. If you must have caffeine or sugar, then at least cut back. Your diet plays a crucial role in how you react to anxiety.
If you have an anxiety disorder, it may be wise to seek out a support group for people with anxiety disorder and panic attack. Being around others who share your symptoms can be a great comfort and will allow you to share ideas for controlling anxiety and overcoming your fears.
Think happy thoughts. If you have problems falling asleep at night because of anxiety, think about everything good in your life and the positive things you are going to do the next day. While it may seem hard to do at first, the more you do it, the more you will get used to it.
Starting a gratitude journal can go a long way in helping you cope with your anxiety. Write down things you are thankful for each day, and elaborate as much as you can. This gives you things to refer back to when you are dealing with your anxiety. A journal can really help you focus on what is most important during these times.
People who have high anxiety will often crave salt. This is a mechanism that your body uses to tell you more salt is needed. Do not add sodium, which is often responsible for hypertension, to your diet without the advice of a qualified physician.
If you believe you are suffering from symptoms related to anxiety disorder, the very first person that you should discuss this issue with is your primary care physician. Your family doctor will be able to inform you whether the symptoms that are causing you alarm are caused by an anxiety disorder, another medical problem, or a combination of the two.
Know when to seek professional help. If your anxiety causes you to self-medicate, decreases the quality or length of your sleep, or causes you to consider harming yourself, medical attention is necessary. A therapist, counselor or psychiatrist, can help you to create a treatment plan to alleviate your anxiety and keep you from hurting yourself.
Find a person you can talk to about your anxiety. Talking rationally through negative thoughts can put them in the proper perspective. The best thing to do is to talk to someone who has already dealt with a similar situation.
If you are a big coffee drinker you should do yourself a huge favor and switch to decaffeinated coffee. Many people that suffer from anxiety do not realize the negative effects that coffee can have on their moods. Switching to decaf is a good idea, if you do not want to stop drinking coffee altogether.
Now that you have read this article, you should begin feeling better because you have discovered some solutions to your anxiety problem. When you have figured out what to do to fix the things that are wrong when it comes to your body, it feels good. Gain your life back by using the above advice.

The first session of Through the Bible in Five and a Half Years takes place on the 26th March at 5 Meadow Lane, Loughborough. We'll start at 7:30pm.
In addition to the book of Genesis and the general recommended reading (see side panel), here are a few resources you might like to check out:
John L Gibson's 2 bible commentaries in the Daily Study Bible series are a great introduction to looking at Genesis. There's a brief introduction followed by a few verses and some commentary on each day. I own both volumes, and Open Heaven owns volume one.
In terms of online resources, Tyler Williams' Codex site has all kinds of useful information. In addition to his Genesis commentary survey, he has also started a series on his blog on Creation in Ancient Mesopotamia and how that links to the biblical accounts of creation. Lastly there is a brilliant 10 verse Genesis Limerick where each line. All these posts are bunched together under the heading "Genesis".
Two other web sites worth checking, although perhaps afterwards rather than before are the Bible Dudes site, and the Just So Stories. The "Just So Stories" are the nearest modern day parallel to one of the types of literature we find behind Genesis. Bible Dudes is a fantastic site, funny and light-hearted, whilst giving a solid introduction to certain aspects of the bible. The Biblical Studies pages will be particularly relevant for "Through the Bible in Five and a Half Years". Picture Bill and Ted doing Biblical Studies rather than basic history, and then picture someone parodying that but making the information sound and informative and you're about there. Easily the most interesting and readable introduction ever crafted.
Finally, I wrote an article for Open Heaven a couple of years ago looking at films based on the stories from Genesis, which I deftly named Genesis Films.

It's 5 degrees right now. My living room is so drafty that I gave up and went back under the covers. Toffee is curled up at my feet, Harris is wandering about, and Lion is curled up next to me so I can pet him conveniently. He purrs loudly and "makes biscuits" with his big front paws. He's the only cat of mine who understands a hand signal: he knows that if I wave my fingers at him, he'll get petted if he comes to me. And he usually does.
I am going to have to reset my pedometer to "0" yet again one of these
I am supposed to go to a meeting in the South End this afternoon; I'll need to bundle up. Wool socks and shearling boots work well, but I lost my new gloves last week. I've been doing without recently, in vague hopes that my freezing hands will inspire my brain to remember where I left them. That's not working, so I will resort to my ratty old gloves.
It's so cold that the MBTA has announced that riders should avoid using almost all of the subway lines today. Last night, commuters were forced to walk because trains and trolleys were simply not coming. This is the time of year when even die-hard walkers want to ride the T. This is exactly the wrong time for an epic system fail. (And don't tell me that hosting the Olympics here will improve public transit. My eye.) So, all over Boston, lots of people are staying home today because getting to work or to school is next to impossible.
My favorite technique for walking any distance in single-digit temperatures is to duck into shops about every block or so to warm up. This means adding more travel time on top of the extra time allotted for walking slowly on slippery sidewalks. Even Proper Bostonians have to reduce their usual brisk pace to prevent sprained ankles and broken bones. I try to warm up in shops I like along with every bakery on my route, but sometimes I don't have so many options. Last week I went into a liquor store in Charlestown. I don't drink so I checked out the supply of bitters. I have yet to go into a nail salon to get warm, but it could happen.
I think I might try those rubber "trax" with metal cleats that slip on over the soles of boots. The hardware store was out of my size or I'd have gotten some last week. But I'm afraid: I know I'll forget I have them on and either ruin someone's wooden floor or wipe out on the slick marble of some store I dash into to warm up. My in-and-out walking style isn't suited to them. They are also not meant for walking on dry, clear sidewalks — and we do have some of those, even on days like today, thanks to the efforts of good neighbors who care about the rest of us.
I think I'll just see if I can reschedule that meeting...

American Idol blah blah
Paula was more interested in how beautiful everyone looked last night, which seemed stupid coming from someone who had a huge red flower pinned to her chest. Simon was in such a foul mood he even insulted Carly, which is totally unlike him. What the heck happend to Dolly Parton's face?? I couldn't decide last night if it was her top lip or her bottom lip that wasn't moving properly, but something was amiss.
My favorite performances of the night were David Cook, Jason Castro, and Brooke White. I'm happy that Jason actually sang this week and didn't act high. I was very angry that he got nailed for it though. I thought it was his best performance ever.
Archuletta annoyed me this week by picking the first song with "Jesus" in it so that he could get the religious vote. Dude, lay off. That's what Kristy Lee was going to do, but since he picked it first she was left to sing the poor me song with no shoes on. "See America, I'm a country girl like you. Vote for me. I even bought my dress at Goodwill so that you could identify with me." Her eyes are getting smaller every week. [I'm not knocking Goodwill, BTW...I find great stuff there, however I would most likely not be wearing any of it if I was performing on live television in front of 30 million people.]
Poor Syesha, this week she couldn't deicde whether to sing the Dolly or Whitney version of her song, so she tried to mesh the two together and it stunk big time. She could be going home, although i'm really really hoping it's Kristy or Ramiele, who continues to be a pointless waste of TV time.
Oh, have you noticed how Carly's husband is getting NO airtime?? They keep seating him in these dark shadows so that when he is on camera he doesn't scare small children. Have you noticed? It's quite amusing. That's what he gets for being covered from head to toe in tats and piercings. Dude is freaky looking.

Geo and I talked about Carly's husband last night and the creative seats and camera angles when they "make it look like they are including him." It is freaky, she sleeps with it. Yeah.
So, did you hear about David Cook? (btw, he has managed to chip away the resistance I had towards him... like his hair better too) Apparently he had heart and blood pressure issues before his performance and refused treatment until after performing. Yahoo music said, he was overwhelmed with idol pressure and bad news about his brother who is fighting cancer. He managed to go out there suck it up do a good job and then head to the hospital for tests and meds. Wow!
I have to say that I feel like I am watching a charity telethon when David A. and Kristy Lee sing...UGH.

I think it's Dolly's upper lip that's causing the odd look. I wonder if they nicked a nerve or something during one of her plastic surgeries. I'm afraid she's getting a bit carried away with it - similar to Michael Jackson. :-/ I hate to see that happening because I've always liked her.
I'm still trying to figure out why Carly is still on the show. IMHO she doesn't have any business being there in the first place. Did you hear about this:
"This year, it appears we have a new scandal brewing that has the potential to actually damage what little credibility the show may have left. Idol fans are wondering why Carly Hennessy Smithson's background has been conveniently ignored by the show when in fact, she signed a multi-million dollar record deal with MCA in June 1999 - a deal that resulted in a CD that was such a total failure she became a case study for what's wrong with the music industry today.
As if this weren't newsworthy enough, this is the very same label for which Randy Jackson served as senior VP A&R/Staff Producer for four years. According to AllBusiness.com, Randy accepted the job in the summer of 1998. Do the math."
Talk about nepotism!

2014 was a big year for the U.S. economy, between soaring stock market prices and a booming job market.
So how did Americans celebrate their financial success?
They took the altruistic route.
Charitable contributions hit a record $456.7 last year, up 9.3% from 2013, according to Atlas of Giving, a report that monitors charitable giving on a monthly basis.
The report suggests that the trend was fueled by a number of economic factors, including the growth in stock prices, which helped colleges and universities that draw most of their funding from campaigns and major gifts.
Low inflation rates, low interest rates and plunging gas prices also left people with more discretionary income.
But experts warn this fountain of generosity could dry up in 2015. Atlas of Giving predicts a 3.2% drop in giving this year, to $442.1 billion.
Specifically, a correction in stock market prices could affect giving to donor advised funds. Moreover, an expected hike in interest rates, plus a lack of substantial wage growth, could leave Americans with less disposable cash than before for donations.
Thinking about cutting your charitable contributions this year? You might want to think twice: A growing body of research suggests financial generosity can improve your health and happiness—and can even make you a better money manager.

Well, this weekend was a doozy.
I took Sheba to the vet and found out that she probably has feline herpes. That is a thing.
Poor cute-face. It kind of makes me laugh, if I'm being totally honest. She had been sneezing and snoring and it turns out that cats can get colds, and feline herpes usually causes it.
Please, throw your best lectures about cat promiscuity at me.
She's four months old, for crying out loud! Oh man. The vet said she probably got it from another cat at the shelter. It basically only causes flare-ups (am I really saying this) when she's under stress, like when I take her to the vet or move or, you know, do stressful stuff. So she's got some antibiotics to clear up her cold and other than that, she's good to go!
Cat herpes. Good God, man, what next?!
I got bitten by fire ants. Oh, yes. Yes indeed. One of the best things about Texas, in case you are thinking of visiting this great land, is the bug situation. Oh, the size of the mosquito bites, my friends. I don't even want to go there.
So after talking to my mom about the spectacularly swollen, red and deeply, profoundly itchy (aren't you glad you're reading this post?) situation that had been my left foot for the past three days and the dangers of infection, gangrene, meningitis and possible amputation (I come from a long line of rational thinkers) I decided to go to the Urgent Care Center, or, as I like to call it, The Place Where Money Goes to Die.
Moving on.
I had a good time watching some HGTV Home Crashers on the TV while I waited, and prayed that the enthusiastic home remodeling would drown out the couple next to me talking about their infected cyst.
I had a good time watching some HGTV Home Crashers on the TV while I waited, and prayed that the enthusiastic home remodeling would drown out the couple next to me talking about their infected cyst.
An hour later, I had a prescription for an antibiotic and instructions to stay off all grass everywhere, and Sheba the Queen of the Herpes and I sat down to watch some New Girl and North & South and wait for our medicines to kick in. We really went to town on it. (The snuggles were pretty good, though, and both patients feel better).
How was your weekend?

I'm grateful for a day without plans, so David and I can spend it together doing whatever we want. How many days a year does that really happen? I would like more of these, maybe 1 per month?

By now, I think I have learned the importance of real-time awareness, social media and other tools for public relations. However, in the reading we had to do for class, I found one more reason PR practitioners need to be on top of their game. Within the reading selection, Brian Solis talked about organizations not being tuned into what was going on in Web 2.0. Executives asked the simple questions that Solis assumed they should already know the answers to. Many times, "many companies still don't see the value of blogs." Organizations don't see why a blog is necessary and view it as a place to rant or share a personal opinion. Other times, an executive tells the PR department to go ahead with a blog and it ends up being used as a channel to pump news releases and information. Solis believes that the best thing an organization can do is get involved in the conversations that are happening around and about the organization. Solis said, "Those conversations are going to happen out there with or without them, and if companies aren't on the radar screen, then they're missing opportunities."
This is extremely important to remember because some organizations don't see the consequences. Not being involved in the online world can hurt an organization and decrease it's value. Consumer's want instant feedback and answers to their problems and having that online presence can help. Executives and organizations can choose to ignore the conversations that are happening on the Internet on blogs, forums, social media and more and they are only choosing to hurt themselves. When a company is constantly involved in the online presence, it creates a sense of credibility and respect that drives this message home. The importance of real-time awareness, social media and other tools are essential to a companies survival in today's Internet-friendly world.

We took a long drive yesterday and ended up at Ft. Rosecrans National Cemetery in San Diego, out at Point Loma..it is so beautiful and peaceful, there is a sense that time has stood still here...the views on either side are breathtaking......
Confirmed as a National Cemetery in 1934, Fort Rosecrans is the final resting place of more than 96,600 men and women of the United States Armed Services and their families...we saw grave sites as far back as the Spanish-American war.....it covers 77 acres.....the above photo is looking out into the Pacific..the other photos below are looking toward San Diego harbor
If you ever get to San Diego, please be sure to go out to the point and see this cemetery. There is alot more to see on the point, Cabrillo National Park is here also, tide pools and a old lighthouse..a wonderful place to spend an afternoon.....not crowded either!
we also went to see where I spent the first 9 years of my life, we lived on Loma Portal, not far from here...we googled my old address (I still remember after over 50 years) and tomorrow I will post what the house I lived in until I was 9 looked like and what it looks like now..quite a difference!

Has your surgeon ever told you that most buttock augmentations cannot be reversed?
The first uses silicone implants, which are placed between the two largest of the buttock muscles. This is a good augmentation for those who want a good rear projection and enlargement (bubble butt) but cannot add width to the buttocks.
The second method frequently called the "Brazilian Butt Lift" removes fat from multiple other areas of the body and grafts it into the muscles of the butt. This technique can provide good rear projection (bubble butt) and simultaneously widen the butt for those who are seeking that look. Before you can have this procedure, you need to have enough fat available for the transfer to the buttocks.
Any tissue being "grafted" depends on the establishment of new circulation to the graft within a short period of time otherwise it will die. The percentage of the fat that survives a grafting procedure is referred to as the "take". To optimize the "take" of fat into the buttocks, the fat is grafted into the substance of the muscle itself which has an excellent blood supply. In other words, the final result has thousands of tiny droplets of fat distributed within the buttock muscles themselves.
Five years ago large buttocks were neither popular nor sought after. The desire for the larger buttocks came on rapidly and was largely an imitation of two celebrities, either Jennifer Lopez or Kim Kardashian. Historically both rapid onset and imitation are hallmarks of fads not trends. Trends are slower and represent an enduring change for the better. If in fact, this is a fad and in a few years women will be wanting to reverse their enhanced buttocks, there is no problem with removing butt implants but removing fat injected into the buttock muscles is impossible.

Andrew Malcolm wrote this morning about the new SarahPAC video, "Tea Party":
"Watch it. See if you think it's from someone who is not running for, oh, say, the nomination for an important office from a major political party. Or laying the foundation to play a major role in that decision by assembling a following of numerous like-minded, loyal folks.*Or, in this case, the answer is down below and after the jump.
Did you notice anything missing in this video, as we did? (Answer down below.*)
As we wrote here on The Ticket Tuesday, a majority of Americans now say their views match Palin's. Or vice versa."
As for the question Andrew poses in his title, although we can't speak for Gov. Palin, we would be inclined to answer, "You betcha!"

Lessons Learnt – Go For Stability
January 22, 2007 Leave a comment
In the continuing saga of lessons learnt at Feedster, one of the top ones for me would be to go for stability.
In the very beginning, way back in 2003, we had an internal debate over which linux distribution to use. We decided to use gentoo for a few reasons. The first reason was that the sys admin who was working with us was most familiar with that particular distribution. The second reason was that it afforded us a high degree of granularity in choosing which packages would be installed on specific machines. The third reason was that it was tweacked and so performed a little better than other distributions.
I have since done a u-turn (or 180) on this. All linux distributions share a common DNA if you will, so 95% of admin skill you have on one can be transfered to another. While you can pick and choose which packages you want to install on a specific machine if you have 5 or 10 machines, this quickly becomes pointless when you have 50 or a 100 machines. Most distributions performs well enough for most workload, and my experience is that tweacked distributions lose a some amount of stability.
So at this point, I feel that CentOS is a stable, no surprises distribution.

The trials for the PWA wave event at Pozo Izquierdo are supposed to start today (Monday) but I know it because somebody said something on the beach, but I have not seen a poster or a banner or any kind of announcement in the area, not only about the trials, it's the same about the main event; at the moment just a few containers on the beach indicate the presence of the event.
On the PWA website says that www.pozo-izquierdo.com is the official website for the competition at Pozo Izquierdo, but at the moment I'm writing these lines that URL it's just a home decoration website or something like that.
Looked impossible to organize it worse than last year, but I'm afraid it will be, let's see if at least we have some amazing wind and wave conditions and the show on the water makes us forget what happens (or doesn't happen) out of the water.

Given the frequency of these comments from readers, those we know and those we don't, I'm shocked at the amount of English majors and/or English teachers read this blog.
We all know that Big is semi-retarded when it comes to spelling. We all know that grammar and punctuation haven't been strong points in either of our writing since maybe the 9th grade.
That being said, don't waste my fucking time by pointing out words that have been misspelled or incorrect usage of punctuation in posts. You try dragging Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes!
I love you.

Hilary looks great here.. and oh how i want a cuddle and a smooch from the lovely Pitti puppy too
Hilary dress is really nice, but the bodice seems very plain and is missing 'something'.
But i love the base colour of it and the hint of green on the underside of the peplum (would that be what it is called?).
Thank you Honey.
This color looks great on her.
I don't like the shoes though, they are very "generic".
It is a cute dog and she's holding it correctly, yay for Hilary!
Who lit the fuse on your tampon?
Love this dress! It's a good color on her, too.
Before you can judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes. After that, who cares? He's a mile away and you've got his shoes. - Billy Connolly
i don't like the way the dress fits, the make up is too heavy and that hairstyle does not flatter her at all. she can do (and has done) much better.
I'm open to everything. When you start to criticise the times you live in, your time is over. - Karl Lagerfeld
Dress color is okay, but it looks cheap. Like the designer ran out of ideas on how to finish it halfway through.

I love how the dog looks like it's smiling in the first pic.
I don't like the cut of the dress but the color is great.
This might be the best I've seen her face look. Ever.
Cigarettes and coffee: an alcoholic's best friend!
~Gerard Way
To me, it's as if her smile never reaches her eyes.
great arms Hilary, poor pup looks like he's recovering from a skin problem.
Good for her for all the work she does for animals but I hate the outfit.
I am going to come and burn the fucking house down... but you will blow me first."
I don't care for the dress but I think she's beautiful. That dog is adorable.

"I would ask for an upper floor room if you are looking for quiet. Away from ice machine."

It feels weird…
It feels weird being at home when school technically isn't over yet and graduation hasn't even occurred yet. Somehow, my parents and I managed to fit all my crap into the car, and the ride home was quiet with some rattling in the back. Thankfully, nothing fell on me, not like last time when my parents made a sharp turn and something (I don't remember what it was) fell on me; I was sleeping and it woke me up, scaring the crap out of me. I'll be living in a studio apartment next year, so I'll have less space, which means I have to bring less stuff. I'm leaving the desktop at home – it's for the best because just bringing it to school and home is 3 boxes – cables, monitor box, and CPU. That's why we have laptops – one cable for everything. However, I'll probably bring the speakers so I don't blow out the ones on the laptop. I'll have to install the printer, but that's easy. I'm also going to install the Nero burning software, since I like how it works and I use it all the time to burn my anime. It's also easier to use; I looked at the other program and it was too complicated. The thing is, I don't want to use this small laptop as a DVD burner, but I don't have much of a choice since I'll be returning the DVD burner to Ryan sooner or later.
As for the people I didn't really get a chance to say goodbye to, I apologize; I was being hustled out by my parents so we could get home before midnight with all the crap in the car. Of course, peace out, hang loose, and rock on. =) I'm on summer break so to speak, but it was raining! The damp weather is friendly on my nose, since there is more moisture in the air and less pollen crap going in my nose. I'll miss people over break, but we'll somehow stay in contact. I'll probably see them around campus somewhere, and we'll catch up on old memories.
I have my Fall 2006 schedule already planned out – with a 3 day weekend included. I have NO Friday classes (just the way I like it), and all my classes start at 10:30am at the earliest. I refuse to get up early any more, although I'll have to do that once I become a teacher because elementary schools do not start at 10:30 in the morning! 9am classes were not fun, and neither were its 7:15am crack-of-dawn finals. I hardly had any caffeine in my system and did not have a cup available for coffee. =( I need to get a cool travel mug. I looked into my Spring 2007 classes, and I knew I would have a lab for my CHAD 159 class in which I'll be placed with a teacher to do some hands-on work/student teaching. It's going to be a great experience, so I only have 2 other classes planned for spring so I can get these hours accomplished. Sadly, while I like the beginning of the semester, I don't like any other part of the semester because of midterms and final exams. I'll finally be able to start off Fall 2006 with good note taking skills because I'll have a laptop and I won't fall behind when I don't write fast enough. Sure, the small keyboard slows me down a bit, but I've gotten used to it. I'll try not to print out that much stuff because in the span of ONE ACADEMIC YEAR, I went through 5 black ink cartridges. I don't even know if the one in the printer is the 5th or 6th cartridge. My CHAD 163 class cost me the most ink because I couldn't print Powerpoint slides effectively on both sides (it takes too long to do it one by one), so I printed them all one side, and that wasted a lot of ink and a lot of paper. I don't want to know how many trees I killed this semester. =(
I don't like studying my notes off a computer screen, so I guess I'll have to do some minimal printing. *sigh* I'm trying to save trees and the amount of ink I use. All those damn articles I had to read/write about took up a lot of ink too.
Now that summer is here, I'll be able to work on a more consistent basis, but that's no guarantee. The China trip looks like it is a definite go, so I'll be spending the month of July across the Pacific Ocean. As much as I hate missing birthdays (Ryan's birthday, my mom's birthday, and my own), this trip will do some good for me, such as in the case of my not-so-stellar language skills and a chance to think about issues at home without interruptions by people from home. I'm scared/nervous/excited all at once, but I feel sad about going because I won't be able to see Ryan for an entire month. I want him to be tough because I love him with all my heart and nothing will ever change that.
As for selling textbooks back, I got $300+ because I had an extra 10% coupon for Robert's Bookstore. Spartan Bookstore wasn't doing that, so I got an extra $28 along with the $288 for my books. For the time I spent in line, it was definitely a good deal. I tried sharing the coupon with others, but I don't think people were that interested. *sigh* Oh well. Not my problem when you get ripped off by Spartan Bookstore. *gRiN*
Anyway, I'm tired, my back is killing me from all the packing I did (all the leaning over and bending), so I'm going to go get some rest.

I went to the museum of Sci and Tech today with one of my buddies who is also currently a stay at home dad. I hadn't met his kid yet, who is now a little over two years old. Quite a lot of fun watching him run his father ragged (ok, not quite) chasing him down around the museum. Certainly not afraid of exploring, I got a hint of a taste of what I may be in for with Rebecca who shows the same fearlessness combined with curiosity.
Both toddlers were quite well behaved, if I do say so myself. No fits pitched, no crying or screaming meltdowns. I look forward to spending more time with the two of them.
That being said... Today was hot. It was a stinker. 33 or so degrees. Rebecca had a little bit of a fever last night, and not much of an appetite today, but seemed to be in good spirits, so I didn't cancel the trip.
Anyway, on the way home I took the Queensway, which was packed with rush hour traffic and seemed at least 5 degrees warmer than elsewhere. Rebecca was baking. She wasn't in direct sun, but was obviously suffering. I gave her lots of water, but should have thought to wet a cloth and help keep her cool that way. Difficult to do in traffic, but still, should have thought of it.
We picked up mom after work and when we got home we took Rebecca's temperature, and it was pretty high. We gave her a bath in cool water, and I managed to get her to eat a little applesauce, the only food she allowed us to feed her all day. I popped an ice cube in her milk and she sucked on that a little.
She seemed in good spirits through all this, though quite tired since she missed her afternoon nap. She went down pretty well, and I'll admit to cranking the AC up for the first time this year to get the house down below 25 degrees.
We'll see how she fares tonight/tomorrow.
