(Excerpted from a letter I sent to Chuck.)
It's been a while since I've written anything that wasn't work related, so keep that in mind as you read through this drivel. As I was halfway through that last sentence, I went through my old letters to try to figure out when I had last written to you. Regrettably, the only letters I located were when we were exchanging real letters (I refuse to use the word "snail mail"). Once I found them, I felt obliged to read through them.
Now I remember why I love to write. Just reading through my problems--since it appears the only thing I spoke of in those letters was how horrible my life as--transported me back in time. The first letter I sent you was after I finished working the summer after graduation. The last was my first week of Law School. I'm not sure what happened after that, but I'll assume I somehow finished Law School because I'm now working as a lawyer. I do remember that first letter you sent me, which is still sitting in my letter pile. That was a weird time for me, and a rather exciting time for you. Your experiences presented a nice foil for me as I was thinking about my future. While I'm not I took the path less traveled, I do thank you for providing me with inspiration for the "what if" scenario.
Since I wasn't able to figure out how much I've told you, I figure I'll fill you in on the last year of my life. Ever since I started working, the measurement of time has become less and less important. In school, there were always bookends in life: winter break, holidays, summer vacation, etc. There was always something new to look forward to, like transforming from a junior to a senior or moving to the Hillside apartments (which came complete with a Vampire-friendly closet). But since I've started work, the bookends have been pushed farther and farther apart, and there are fewer boundaries in life. Weeks flow by, followed by months, and those months slowly transform into years before you have time to wipe your feet on the doormat. But, as I have a tendency to do, I digress. Back to how I got where I am.
The first eight months of working were the hardest for me. As you know, I'm working for a big law firm in the city. Looking back, those eight months were especially painful because they represented a change in my life. I went from always looking forward to the next step in life to seeing my next step as retirement fifty years hence. This thought depressed me to no end. At some point, however, I came to the realization that the real world is a necessary evil and it's better for me to come to terms with it. And that's exactly what I did. I put on a new "positive attitude" (which lasted a full three weeks) and started regarding work as not just an inherently bad thing. At this point, my workload increased, which also helped. During the early months of working at the firm, I barely had enough work to keep my occupied for the seven hours we're required to bill. It's quite depressing reading the Internet all day. Boredom inevitably gives way to deep and disturbing thoughts. Since then, work has been much better. There are days when (god forbid) I can say I actually enjoy working there. I have gone through another positive attitude (this time I called it my "happy attitude," and no, this has nothing to do with drugs; this is David we're talking about) and I'm rather comfortable at where I am now.
I think I've gone on enough about my inner workings. I'll fill you in on some more "real life" information. As a big time attorney, I do a mishmash of litigation, corporate work, and patent drafting. All these relate to Intellectual Property (which, in turn, relates to my Masters in Computer Engineering I received during law school). As usual, I do incredible work, albeit I usually procrastinate to the last minute, and continue to follow my minimalist ways by being efficient. In law firms, however, efficiency is not encouraged. Because the law firm economics revolve around the billable hour, the more work you do, the more the firm likes you. This system is in direct contrast to our ethical obligations (yes, attorneys do have ethical obligations) to represent our clients zealously and fairly. Any-whos, because of my efficiency, I don't believe the firm likes me as much as more inefficient (and therefore higher billing) attorneys. But I guess I can live with that. They still pay me an insane amount of money to work, and that I can definitely live with.
As of this letter, I'm currently reaching another of those diverging paths in my life. As part of my eight months of depression, I sent out my resumes to a number of headhunters. I have been speaking with a contact of one of these headhunters who has, in a roundabout way, offered me a job as an IP counsel to a division of Schlumberger, a French company, which provides technical support for the oil industry. I would be counsel for a Houston division of the company that designs computer programs that image collected seismic data and use this information to predict oil flow underground. I'm meeting with the contact on Friday for dinner to discuss this opportunity. I can write pages and pages about what I've been thinking and the pros and cons that are going into this decision, but I'll spare you this awful internal debate. Suffice to say, I'm seriously considering this opportunity, but at the same time, I have misgivings.
What would be the story of my life without a discussion of my relationships? As I was skimming through my earlier letters to you I saw a distinct pattern. I seemed to always bring up this topic, but I usually ended the discussion with an empty paragraph ending with, "enough said." While I'm tempted to do the same in this letter, I actually do have some things to report. I'm currently not involved with anyone, but I did have a serious relationship this year, as well as a number of dates and flings. Once again, the serious relationship was with another Asian woman (I blame you). The dates and flings have been with women of various nationalities and religions. I'm beginning to seriously look to the future and I'm hoping more and more to find that "right" woman. Although, when and IF that happens, I know all the other women would be terribly disappointed that such an eligible bachelor has fallen by the way side; it's a sacrifice that they must make for the betterment of mankind.
Shannon is still alive and ticking, and he keeps reminding me that he's going to end the world as soon as I find happiness (he is the bringer of the Apocalypse in case you were wondering). He finished Medical School and is now a doctor working in a hospital in Binghamton. He's doing a one-year residency, after which he plans on leaving the medical profession and working for a pharmaceutical company. He's not sure what he'll be doing, but he hates patients, the hours that doctors keep, and working in general.
While I have other things to report, I think I hit on all the major happenings of my life. Seeing as you're now distracting me by IM'ing me, I'll leave it at this. I hope we keep in touch a little more often now that you have a string modem.
Until next time you force me to write one of these things.
David S. Figatner, Esq.

It's hard to believe that it's been 7 months since I came home from work to find a waterfall in my office. One would assume that the repairs would have been completed long before July. Well, since damage was spread across all three floors of my house, repairs had to be made in shifts. As it turns out my office was the last on the list.
It was May before the office moved to the top of the repair list. At that point almost everything not packed up the night of the flood, came out of the office. So as it stands now, my computer is on my dining table. Everything else got stowed in boxes in various room around the house. The last few months have been frustrating when I've needed to find particular item, say an invoice for a piece of equipment. First I let out a heavy sigh, and then begin an hour long search rummaging through boxes tucked in closets, unused corners in of the guest room, and in the basement. Let me tell you, tax season was terrible, but I muddled through.
In May the new drywall went in, and then I knew the end was near. Unfortunately, my schedule for the summer has been completely insane, however I have spent the last two weekends working on getting the room move-in ready. The drywall mud has been sanded. Cracks have been caulked. Walls have been primed. The ceiling gleams white with a fresh coat of paint.
Now comes the fun part. Color is going on the walls!
Color decisions are important. Color can affect your mood. Prior to the flood, the room was blue. Actually, it was blue when I bought the house five years ago. I just never bothered to change it.
So standing in front of the vast array of paint chips a Home Depot I found myself drawn to...
...yes, blue.
For me, blue is a happy color. This shade is light and airy. It's a cool like the light in the winter, but its also the color of warm summer flowers like some my favorites, chicory and plumbago. So blue it will be. Now I'm off to paint.

Soha Ali Khan shares first picture with daughter Anya
As we all know, recently Saif Ali Khan's sister Soha Ali Khan gave birth to a beautiful daughter. It will not be wrong to say that since this little fairy has come into the house, there is no place for the happiness of Papa Kunal Khemu. Let's say Kunal and Soha have named their little girl as Anayya Numi. This name means the beautiful gift of Allah. And yesterday, Soha has shared her first photo with Ana Naomi, two months old. In this picture, she seems to be teaching her biography. Actually, Soha was busy in her biography The Perils of Being Moderately Famous for a long time. Recently, the first copy has come, which she seems to be teaching her first daughter.
Even before this, Soha shared a picture in which Kunal had adopted this daughter and both bonding could be seen clearly.
By the time since the Baby Innas came in the house as if everyone is talking about the Ina. Soha was waiting for this happiness for many days. And now their fairy has arrived in this world. According to reports, Soha gave birth to daughter in Breach Candy Hospital. When Kareena Kapoor was talking about this news, she looked quite excited. He told me that - I am very happy and excited, the final thing is now that Timur has found his beloved and beautiful younger sister. We are all celebrating this good news.
However, hearing the news of Soha, Saif's reaction was also worth seeing. When PTI asked about Saif Ali Khan's upcoming film Chef's Promotional Conference, how are you feeling as being a mama, he said, - It is a great time for us. I have never made mama before. But now the last one will call me uncle. Let me tell you recently, Kunal Khemu, the father, told this to the people through twitter. He wrote, - We are very happy to tell us that our house daughter was born on the auspicious day of today.Soha and daughter's health is good. We thank you for your love and blessings. Now Timur has got his sister's company together. By the way, these two years have been quite auspicious. In these years, from Shahish's mustache to Soha, there is a grief in the house. It seems as if the new generation of Bailwood is being born.
On September 27, it was reported that Soha has been taken to the hospital. According to Mid-Day's report, Kunal was showing very early time during the launch of the film Golmaal Again's Trailer. Perhaps for this reason, he took Soha to the hospital after ending the trailer launch event early.

(Verse 1) When I first met you I could
tell you were trouble right from the
start. I walked past you turned your
head. While your girlfriend was standing
there. Gave you my number just cuz I was
in a hurry, that's when it all began.
Damn how'd you become my man. What am I
to do. You telling everybody that I'm
your boo. Ooh that ain't cool. Why can't
see I'm not felling you. Even if I threw
a hint you. Know girls just like
attention. But they don't like when you
keep calling and calling and calling.
(Chorus) I can't take what you doing to
me. Boy why is it so hard for you to
see. If you keep calling trying to
holla. There's no need. To keep calling
me, so stop calling me. You be calling 3
and 4 times in a row. If you can't reach
me on my cell. You call my home. How
many times do I have to let you know, to
stop calling me. Boy quit calling me,
quit calling me. (Verse 2) Now it's
getting ridiculous and I'm about to lose
my mind. Cuz when I changed my number.
You called and got it from my Mama. Ooh
now you tripping boo. Why hold on when I
don't want you. You find another girl
who'll love to put up with you. What am
I to do. You telling everybody that I'm
your boo. Ooh that ain't cool. Why can't
you see I'm not felling you. It was not
your swagger. Not your game that doesn't
bother me. But it does when you keep
calling me, calling me. (Chorus) Letra

Alex was with me on the porch. However, his prime interest was rolling around on the concrete:
The tree sat on the property line between my house and my neighbor to the north. It was old, perhaps as old as the 100+ year old houses whose property line it marked. I believe that it had little life left in it. Sunday's thunderstorm finished the tree. It was a large tree and provided little shade, but I shall miss it.
My computer is still without audio, thus no Coffeehouse for a while. (I really would like to hear the sings before I post them). Although the computer system confirms that it has the needed hardware, software, latest drivers, and correct setting including the BIOS setting. From all that I have found written on the problem it appears that what I have is a rather common problem. How, if I could just find a fix that works...
How about a few more KATZ? My supply of the creatures is stilling growing faster than I can post them!

When Matt Razink's left hand got caught in a piece of construction equipment nearly six years ago, he feared his life was over.
After pulling himself from the machine and getting the attention of a co-worker, Razink struggled to staunch the flow of blood from his arm while making his way to a nearby hospital.
Razink survived the accident, but doctors had to amputate his arm just below the elbow. The surgery launched a health care journey for the 36-year-old Wisconsin man that took him this week to Maple Grove, where he became the first U.S. civilian to receive a new type of prosthetic hand with an electric opposable thumb.
"It's so much like a human hand," Razink said Thursday.
The latest technology in hand prosthetics doesn't come cheap.
The new device – called the Michelangelo Hand and made by a German company called Otto Bock – sells for about $100,000, said Pat Prigge, a prosthetist with Advanced Arm Dynamics in Maple Grove. Older electric hand prosthetics sell from about $60,000 to $80,000, depending on features.
Even so, the Michelangelo Hand is commanding attention in the small world of upper-extremity prosthetics.
"It's a pretty significant advance," said Cate Braun, a prosthetist at Winkley Orthotics & Prosthetics in Golden Valley.
Braun and her colleagues have talked about making the Michelangelo Hand available to patients, because the technology offers some clear advantages. But patients might find their health plans slow to cover the costs, Braun said, because many insurers initially consider new technologies to be experimental.
Advanced Arm Dynamics still is working with insurers to cover the cost of Razink's prosthetic. The Wisconsin man has not been asked to pay out-of-pocket for his device until the reimbursement issue is worked out.
"It's all based on justifications, and that's our job," Prigge said. "(We) work with physicians to educate them and the insurance company to make sure that they understand it's medically necessary."
Advanced Arm Dynamics is based in California. Since 2008, the company has worked with Otto Bock and the U.S. military to make the technology available to 10 soldiers who lost one or both hands in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Patients who use the new prosthetic still can't swing a baseball bat or do every possible thing they did with their old hands, Prigge said, but he added: "This hand is a step closer."
Razink lives in Medford – about 2-1/2 hours east of the Twin Cities – and works as a heavy equipment operator on road construction projects. When the accident happened in May 2006, he grabbed to pull a piece of rebar from crushed concrete.
"I remember grabbing onto the piece of rebar, giving it a tug and then I was in the machine – it was lightning fast," he said.
Razink said he knew that his arm was "somewhat" intact and that "pieces" of his left hand remained. But his focus was on stopping the blood, exclaiming to co-workers: "I'm going to bleed out!"
After surgery, Razink was happy just to be alive. Doctors reassured him that after his upper arm healed, he would be fitted with prosthetics that would allow him to resume his life. Razink hunts and fishes for recreation; his career is all about working with his hands, whether it's operating equipment or repairing machinery.
But when he was fitted with a mechanical prosthetic three months later, Razink faced some painful truths.
"It took all of about two hours to realize that life wasn't going to be the same," he said. "I tried to keep a good attitude through the whole thing, but it was hard. It was very hard.
"You wake up in the morning and everything you do – from grabbing your glasses off the nightstand to getting dressed, tying your shoes, zipping your jacket – everything becomes a task," he said.
At the time of the accident, Razink's children were ages 11, 2 and 6 months. He went from being a caregiver to needing his children's help in some instances.
In 2007, Razink sought help from Advanced Arm Dynamics and credits the prosthetics practice with fitting him for electric devices. The devices feature electrodes that attach to Razink's arm and detect muscle movements that are interpreted by a microprocessor, which activates the hand.
"It opened up a whole new world for me of things I could do," Razink said.
He went back to his old construction job. In his spare time, Razink fashioned a machine shop in his basement and garage, where he's crafted a mechanical wrist for use with some of his prosthetics.
After just 24 hours with the new prosthetic, Razink said Thursday that he's amazed at how much it feels like his old hand – in the sense that it's easier for his brain to learn how to use the device.

Today's photos are inside because as you've probably already seen, the weather is awful! But this certainly doesn't take away the amazing-ness of this top! I've always been a fan of graphic tees, and this is most definitely the nicest one I've seen in a while and it really makes me wanna go to Amsterdam ❤ ❤ It's from a wonderful online store called Chiara Fashion and costs just £9.95! HOW FABULOUS IS THAT?! It's super super soft too and fits like a dream. I've got it tucked in in the photo's, but it's actually a crop top and would look great with a wide range of items! This outfit is a little summery but I just don't want to let go! !! When I received the top I knew I'd just have to pair it with these gorgeous Miss Luxe red statement heels! Most of my heels are black as I always tend to think practical (black goes with everything) so it's excellent having these in my wardrobe to spruce up any outfit – just like this one!
I can't finish this post without mentioning the dreamy Chloe look-a-like bag. My mum got back from holidays last week and this was my gift ❤ eeeeeeee. It's just so pretty.
Have a great weekend!

Two divisional playoff games, one in each conference, took place in the National Football League playoffs on Saturday.
At Pittsburgh:
The Pittsburgh Steelers overcame a 21-7 halftime deficit and took advantage of three Baltimore turnovers in the third quarter as they came back to defeat their guests 31-24 in an AFC divisional playoff. Any hope that the Ravens had of pulling the game out effectively evaporated when Ben Roethlisberger, who threw for two touchdowns, hit Antonio Brown with a 58-yard pass completion, setting up Rashard Mendenhall's second touchdown run, this time from two yards out with 93 seconds remaining.
The Steelers will be playing in their third AFC Championship game in three years next Sunday, either at Foxborough, Massachusetts or at home, depending on the outcome of this Sunday's New York Jets-New England Patriots contest.
At Atlanta:
Aaron Rodgers completed 31 of 36 passes for 366 yards and three touchdown and ran for another as the Green Bay Packers carved up the Atlanta Falcons' defense in their 48-21 road victory over the NFC's top-seeded team. The Packers will travel to Seattle or Chicago for next Sunday's NFC Championship game.

To think this is emotional blackmail?(21 Posts)
Today I received an unsolicited letter from Ethiopiaid asking for donations, suggested donation £20. It was addressed to me personally, I don't know how they got my details. I'm sure they're a very worthy charity but I'm struggling financially and can't afford to donate at the moment. I do what I can when I can and have my chosen charities I support when I'm able. So I should just ignore the letter, right? Except it says please reply in 10 days in red capitals on the envelope and encloses an example of the dress patterns they use to teach women recovering from fistula operations to make dresses. The letter says "We'd really appreciate it if you could return this dress pattern to us within 10 days so we can show it to more kind people who may be willing to help. It would mean so much to a woman with fistula if you could also send a donation at the same time. Thank you."
So if I don't return the dress pattern I'll feel bad because it'll actually cost the charity money but if I do return it I'll feel bad about not including a donation. AIBU to think this is emotional blackmail?
Also I have depression and I'm struggling to do all the things I need to at the moment, like returning forms for my insurance, applying for a passport and drivers license, returning mail not known at this address, filing important documents, sorting through and throwing out the mountain of letters already on my hall table etc... the thought of adding another item to the paper pile and the to do list is overwhelming.
It's an unpleasant marketing tactic and I hate charities that do that sort of thing (also sending unsolicited 'free' gifts like pens, seeds, personalised labels, cards etc).
But there is absolutely no need to feel guilty about not returning the pattern. These are slick marketing campaigns designed by professionals, and the costs are worked out so that even if 99% of people just bin the mailshots, the donations from the 1% who respond cover the costs of all the mailings and make the charity a profit.
I would bin it without a second thought if it's not a charity you have chosen to support and you can't afford to anyway.
It is emotional blackmail, but that's what they're counting on.
Put the whole lot in the bin and think no more about it. Don't worry about the dress pattern, it's pennies.
That's really mean. It's a great charity, but you're right that's emotional blackmail. They'll have costed the mail shot, so although technically they could resend the pattern I bet they don't.
So don't feel bad
Now that other mail...why don't you write not known at this address on all the unknown mail and this charity one and walk it round to the post now. You might get blown off your feet, but it'll be one less thing on your list.
Put it in the bin OP and forget about it.
Fund raising is tough and I don't blame organisations for being inventive. They took a chance hoping you'd make a donation, look at charities who print off named address stickers or enclose a biro, unsolicited but all designed to guilt trip us into coughing up. It's always a challenge to come up with fresh ideas. With the best will in the world you can't donate to every good cause so don't worry.
The whole point is to tug at heartstrings / hope you feel guilty
but you are in control. they can't make you feel anything if you choose not to feel it.
So put it in the bin and forget about it. It went out to a LOT of people, from whatever mailing list they had got hold of with people's names.
Those who can afford to and want to contribute will do and those who don't will also put it in the bin.
Nice tactic of trying to get people to send it back with or without a donation of course. They then know who is feeling just a bit guilty and therefore they are the ones to target with a follow up guilt trip.
I think of it this way
'A person on a much higher wage than me in an advertising agency is doing their damnedest to get me on a far lower income to give a charity donation. And being paid handsomely for doing so.'
Hope that takes the guilt away. (and don't be sad - be angry that they have sent you an unsolicited begging letter. And you are doing really well every time you sort a piece of post out )
send it all back to them with Not Wanted written all over it
I would put it back in the envelope, seal it, write return to sender, and forget about it!
Oh and out it ack in the post box when you next go
I got the same letter today.
It's going to be posted straight back, unopened, marked 'unsolicited mail, return to sender' on it.
No idea how they got my details either.
Bin the lot. There will be no problems arising from binning it and it will get this item out of your to do pile and will enable you to forget about it.
How do you know it's not a scam, designed to make money. I don't know any charities who would write anything lik that, and ask anyone to give £20. That is a lot of money and coud be some bodies weekly food bill.
That letter sounds quite aggressive and not designed to tug on your heartstrings, it would immediately put my back up
Throw it away.
I do with all letters like it
I donate what I can, when I can and marketing like that does absolutely nothing to me.
Thanks for all your replies. The letter is in the bin where it belongs and I'm working on the rest of the paper pile. I don't know what I was thinking letting it get to me, I was just having a bad day. I hadn't considered that they will have costed the whole campaign so probably wouldn't resend the dress patterns anyway or realised that if I returned the pattern they might see I was feeling guilty and target me with more mailings!
I'd write in even bigger red letters 'please take my name off your database within the next ten days' and post it back to them.
I have heard that some charities, especially ones based outside the uk will by data bases of addresses of people known to give to charity. I even heard of one charity based in an African country that bought the names and addresses of vicars and priests and got classrooms full of children to handwrite letters to them.
Glad you've chucked it. It boils my piss some of the tactics charity shop employ to get money.
I won't say what I want to say to the rspca who conned their way into my house and stayed for an hour getting my lovely gentle husband to sign up to a direct debit for a tenner a month while I was at work. I'm still raging about it
Don't give it another thought.. baby steps on your paperwork.
Lots of charities send the same sort of thing to me. A charity which I had sponsored in better days (2003) sold my details on to other charities around 2012/2013 sometime. I angrily told them it broke the Data Protection Act for them to hold on to my personal data for so long after it was needed. Nowadays my donations go through shops and collecting buckets where they don't get my details.
I expect this is how Ethopiaid found you. As was said above - all of this has been carefully costed to include people who don't reply.
I am sure you will give to charity when you are able to but you will do it when you are healthy and financially able and in a method that you choose rather than be pressured into.
I hope you start feeling better soon and I hope the paperwork turns out to be less horrible than it looks. You'll better when it is sorted.

The UNCW baseball team's lofty goals haven't changed, but they've got work to do to match the example set by Coastal Carolina.
Alex Cunningham's game-ending strikeout with the tying run on third base Thursday afternoon signaled the final breakthrough for Coastal Carolina in a season full of them. The Chanticleers ended a remarkable postseason run with a 4-3 win over Arizona for their first national championship.
Coastal Carolina lived out the narrative that UNCW supporters have dreamed for years. The Chanticleers got their shot and didn't miss, producing a Cinderella story that reverberated well beyond the Myrtle Beach area. They won a Regional at N.C. State, Super Regional at LSU and then went 6-2 against power conference foes in Omaha to claim the title. It's the first time a school won its College World Series debut in 50 years.
Afterward, Coastal Carolina coach Gary Gilmore said his phone had been filled with messages all week from mid-major coaches urging him to win one for the little guys. UNCW athletic director Jimmy Bass said he was cheering on the Chanticleers but not because he needed more proof of what's possible.
"We're thrilled to death for Gary Gilmore and that program," Bass said. "Mark (Scalf) and our program have been close to Coastal for years. We're great competitors and we're thrilled to death for them, but our inner-fire to go to Omaha hasn't changed or brightened. It's there."
On paper, UNCW wasn't far behind its midweek rival on the baseball field entering this postseason. The Chanticleers had more NCAA appearances (14 in 21 years under Gary Gilmore) and close calls (two previous Super Regional appearances) than the Seahawks, but they were trying to bust out of the same pack. They combined on two tight and entertaining games again this season.
Now Coastal Carolina's turn in the national spotlight is the latest boon for a school on the rise. The Chanticleers officially moved into the Sun Belt Conference on Friday and started a seven-year apparel deal with Under Armour. Those recruiting advantages only amplify the upgrades at Spring Brooks Field in recent years that have put their facilities on par with the national heavyweights.
It's on UNCW to try to catch up. The Seahawks – after coming up short with a regional within reach at South Carolina last month – still aren't there on the field and especially with their budget. They're close enough to dream and far enough away to have clear areas left to improve.
"I think that's what keeps everybody grinding every year," Bass said.
Scalf, at 840 wins and counting in 25 seasons, has arguably done more with less than anybody in the country. His salary this year, at $95,000, was less than half of his good friend Gilmore.
UNCW got a $1 million donation toward their long-awaited indoor hitting facility 18 months ago but still hasn't found the rest of the money needed to start construction.
Brooks Field is as good or better than most facilities in the Colonial Athletic Association but lags behind the regional rivals UNCW wants to beat. It's not suitable to hold NCAA play without bringing in extra lighting.
Coastal Carolina's success doesn't change any of those facts but at least should add to the urgency to make sure the Seahawks can at least put themselves in position to have a chance. More progress there will no doubt be near the top of the to-do list when new Seahawk Club executive director Derek Denton takes over next month.
"I've been saying it since the day I walked in the door in 2010, we say it at the baseball banquet every year: Our goal is Omaha," Bass said. "There's nothing new. We've got to upgrade our facilities. We've got to find people that are committed that can make significant seven-figure major gifts. There's no secret to this."

To ensure effective monitoring of the spread of the dreaded Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) the Federal Government has directed that all public and private primary and secondary schools in the country must remain closed until October 13th, 2014. This it said, is to ensure that adequate preventive measures are put in place before the pupils return to school.
The Minister of Education, Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau, met with the States Commissioners for Education Forum in Abuja Tuesday to discuss how to handle the matter which continues to cause a lot of apprehension in the country. At the meeting, the Ministry of Health's Director of Ports Health Service, Dr. Sani Gwarzo briefed the meeting on steps to be taken to prevent the spread among school children.
He urged the Ministry and the Forum of Education Commissioners to urgently come up with a policy document on EVD for schools, and back it up with a work plan, adequate funding, and collaboration with other stakeholders on the EVD such as the Ministries of Health and Environment. Gwarzo cited Ghana which has already commenced training of school teachers and staff of both public and private schools on preventing the spread of the EVD.

Everyday, I wake up and I am a hero. I am a hero in just making toast with peanut butter. I am a hero in that I can figure out how to find and work the tv remote on demand. I am a hero because I can create FUN out of nothing. The rewards are endless – I get multitudes of kisses all day long, and better still, my kisses have become magical, they now have healing powers over a variety of ailments and emotional hurts. I get to take naps and I get to play in snow banks. I love to cook and I get to do it all day – even though I usually only have one customer who'll eat my meals (Chris) -it's still fun practising for the day that my home is filled with giant teenage boys who are never full (this I'm told from my mentors – mothers with grown sons).
I get to show my boys the world – and they are excited over "big hills", train tracks and the lake. We take frequent trips with our imaginations too. Yesterday, at bedtime, I was Queen of a faraway kingdom with my two handsome prinnces (no mommy, I'm the brave knight – corrected Lucas), and Chris was the big King. I've never had a more captive audience to all my random comments, and they usually come back to me – "oh gosh", "crap!", and "give me a break"…umhmmm
To be sure, I'm faced with daily challenges, but these challenges are not just external, they are 100% internal too – my heart is examined and exposed all the time. My spiritual and psychological research is immediately implemented and therefore my growth is exponentially guaranteed – and there is no hiding – I cannot blame my children for my failures, rather I accept them and lean on the Lord to strengthen me, to bring me to peace again, to be my joy in the midst of adversity and HE IS. I don't know what I did before this that I thought was so important, having kids has brought me right into the middle of LIFE – the simplist things are the most enjoyable things.
Hugs, blankets, baths, coffee, a cookie (or 10), a casual phone call, a walk, singing a song, playing in dirt, a picture book, a flower, love letters, sitting in a sunbeam, a purring cat, babies, smiles, sleeping children, candlelight, "I love you's", and enjoying the four seasons up close and personal. I hope I never grow up and lose sight of how grand my life is.

Last night, my friend Jenelle and I went to the Seattle premiere of the documentary Speciesism by director, Mark Devries.
We were excited to go, but also slightly apprehensive. Jenelle has watched "Earthlings", which I have to admit that I have not. I told Jenelle that I had watched Mark on YouTube speaking about this film and he had said that this definitely wasn't going to be "Eartlings II". Well, let me tell you, Mark Devries has found a way to deliver this important message in such a masterful and balanced way that requires a great deal of finesse, sensitivity and skill! Yet, he has managed to do it! He asks powerful, high-mileage questions of the people he meets, from both the experts to regular people on the streets!
The film also features one of my favorite authors and speakers, Peter Singer. Speciesism is truly a thought provoking and inspiring documentary! And Mark is absolutely right, after you've watched it, you'll walk out with a changed perspective and a new resolve! I did! This is a film that I definitely want to watch again! There were many great quotes and much food thought and further discussion! Here's Mark & me after the film premiere

Please do yourself a favor and do watch this! Buy a copy or two – I definitely plan to! ENJOY!
Well done, Mark Devries and Thank you again!

*Economists seem to have lost ALOT of their credibility, what do you think. hum.....
Economists: U.S. bailouts could lead to second recession
Economists are starting to worry that workers, businesses and local governments could become dependent on U.S. government rescue money, raising the possibility that cutting off the aid at the end of the recession will lead straight into a second recession. "Stuttering attempts" by the Obama administration to repair the financial system "suggests that by 2010, the specter of a second dip into recession will be looming large," said Sheryl King, an economist at Merrill Lynch. Reuters (02 Mar.)
S&P forecasts biggest dividend cuts since 1938
Standard & Poor's said dividends paid to U.S. equity investors are likely to decline at least 22.6% this year, marking the severest drop since the 36.3% fall in 1938. Analysts expect a 3.49% dividend payout for the S&P 500 this year. Financial Times (02 Mar.)
BofA's Lewis calls aid request for Merrill a "mistake"
Kenneth Lewis, CEO of Bank of America, called the bank's request for $20 billion in U.S. government aid to help with its takeover of Merrill Lynch a "tactical mistake." He said the move made BofA appear to be as weak as Citigroup. Lewis also pledged to remain as CEO until the bank repays the $45 billion it received through the government's Troubled Asset Relief Program. Financial Times (02 Mar.)
JPMorgan reportedly made $5B in derivatives profit
In one of the worst years on Wall Street, JPMorgan Chase reaped $5 billion through trading over-the-counter derivatives, sources said. Led by Matt Zames, the JPMorgan trading desk might have benefited from Lehman Brothers' collapse and the takeover of Bear Stearns, because the developments left hedge funds and companies with fewer derivatives-trading partners. "It's a flight to quality," said Craig Pirrong, a finance professor at the University of Houston. "They expanded the scale of business, the number of trades people wanted to do with them, and it gave them pricing power." Bloomberg (03 Mar.)

OPEC's supply limits not enough to stop oil-price slide
Despite success by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries at keeping its members in compliance with supply cuts, the price of oil dropped almost 10% on Monday. The weak price "is being driven by the deteriorating global economic environment," said Nauman Barakat, senior vice president at Macquarie Futures USA. Forbes/Reuters (02 Mar.)

Hello everybody! I am so excited to review these brand new releases from Studio Gear Cosmetics! They have definitely stepped up their A game! Let's get to the review! ☺
TRUE Lipstick Addition
So starting off, this really isn't much of a review because I've already posted about their lipsticks, but they have added more shades to their collection. If you're not familiar with their TRUE collection, all of the lipsticks are matte, super pigmented and last all day (no kidding, they really do last long and stay in place). The new shades added are as seen on the picture to the left. I must say True Peach is my favorite but they are all super gorgeous! Highly recommend checking these lipsticks out!

Text I want to remember and because I might need it later, I don't store this on my private computer because I want to have access to it wherever I am. So I can show it to my doctor or whoever I want to tell this to.
Sometimes it's not completely clear who wrote the original version of the text. I hope you will forgive me when I have used your text on this page. Just write me an email and I will save the text for my own use and hide it for others or I add the source of the text to it.
When potassium levels are low, which is usually between 2.5 to 3.5 mEq/L, the following symptoms can occur:
- tiredness
- pain in the muscles
- cramping
- upset stomach
- constipation
- lightheadedness
- depression
- mood swings
Potassium levels below 2.5 mEq/L affect many functions of the body including the muscles, digestion, kidneys, electrolyte balance, the liver and the heart.
Muscles: fatigue, pain in the joints, muscle weakness, muscle weakness after exercise, muscle stiffness, muscle aches, muscle cramps, muscle contractions, muscle spasms, muscle tenderness, pins and needles sensation, eyelid myotonia (cannot open eyelid after opening and then closing them).
Digestion: Upset stomach, loss of appetite, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, bloating of the stomach and full feeling in the stomach, blockage in the intestines called paralytic ileus.
Heart: Anxiousness, irregular and rapid heartbeat, angina, prominent U waves, inverted or flattened T waves, ST depression, elongated PR interval.
Kidneys: Severe thirst, increased urination, difficulty breathing, too slow or shallow breathing, lack of oxygen in the blood, sweating, increased blood pressure, metabolic acidosis.
Liver: The brain function becomes affected: Irritability, decrease in concentration, lack of clear thinking, confusion, slurring of speech, seizures.
Paralysis: Episodic muscle weakness, episodic partial paralysis, episodic total paralysis episodic flaccid paralysis (limp muscles, without tone).
Laboratory blood changes: Increased number of neutrophils in blood, increased number of white blood cells in the blood, reduced number of eosinophils in blood, increased number of lymphocytes in blood, low blood sodium, low blood potassium, elevated Serum CPK (creatine).
I need to remember this and reed the article again in the future
"The most frequent is the hypokalemic form with a prevalence of 1:100,000.
It is transmitted with reduced penetrance in women (the male to female ratio is 3 or 4:1). The most common mutations are the Cav1.1 substitutions R528H and R1239H, which both lead to progressive myopathy."

A Wake Up Call
Since February is National Heart Month, this particular post seems appropriate. For the most part (about 95%), I have accepted the fact that I have a heart condition. Five percent is still in denial. In early December of 2012, I started experiencing some chest pain, shortness of breath and extreme fatigue. This went on for about a week before I decided I better call the cardiologist's office and get advice. When I did finally make the call, they gave me an appointment within a few hours and also ordered an echocardiogram. The doctor adjusted one of my medications permanently and another one temporarily. Once he did that, I lost ten pounds in one day - that's how much extra fluid I had in my system!! Yikes, no wonder I didn't feel well. It was a wake up call on several levels. First of all, if something doesn't feel quite right, I need to call my doctor right away (not wait an entire week). The cardiologist's nurse strongly recommended I do that in the future :) Second, yes, I do have this heart condition and I need to 100% accept that fact. Finally, I want to be around for a long time for my family and friends and I am responsible for keeping on top of my own health!! The cardiologist has never determined what caused my non-ischemic cardiomyopathy. Since that type of heart problem is not caused by coronary artery disease, it's still a mystery what caused it. I personally think it was caused by stress. There were several stressful events that occurred throughout 2011 and even though I let a lot of my stress out, I also internalized a lot during that year. I have been working on managing my stress better and making sure I take a little time for myself everyday. A lot of times, women have so much on their plates - taking care of their husbands, significant others, kids, aging parents, etc. that sometimes the signs of health problems are ignored or put off. I'm a prime example!! I was so busy taking care of everyone else, that I wasn't paying enough attention to my own health, both back in 2011 and also just recently. My advice to other women is this, if something doesn't feel right, get it checked out immediately or as soon as you can. Just remember, if mom isn't happy and healthy, then nobody's happy!!

From Senator Rand Paul:
There's no two ways about it...
...Montana's nationally-watched U.S. Senate race is central to the GOP's efforts to remove Harry Reid from power and stop President Obama's liberal agenda dead in its tracks.
That's why I'm writing to you today on behalf of Montana's Republican U.S. Senate candidate, Congressman Steve Daines.
I want to encourage you to join with me in whole-heartedly supporting his Senate campaign today.
Whether it's $2,600, $1,000, $500, $250, $100, $70, or $35, your immediate gift will ensure Steve has the resources he needs to defeat the Reid-Obama-Democrats' handpicked opponent and join me fighting for limited government in the U.S. Senate in 2014.
Always true to his conservative Montana roots, Steve Daines is never afraid to vote his conscience – even when the leaders of both parties pressure him to throw in the towel.
So it's no surprise that from the moment he took office, Steve Daines has been a strong ally in the House.
He was among the first house members to support my filibuster against illegal domestic drone strikes, cast a "no" vote on raising the debt limit, and supports the full repeal of ObamaCare.
Steve Daines' 28 years of leadership in building businesses and creating jobs gives him invaluable experience in dealing with economic and spending issues that we debate in Congress.
And to show you just how committed he is to fixing America, the very first bill Steve ever introduced was the Balanced Budget Accountability Act, which would terminate pay for members of Congress each year they fail to pass a balanced budget on time.
Steve Daines has also proven himself an important ally for those of us who care about the 2nd Amendment, right to life of the unborn, energy independence, and much, much more.
But my friend, while the majority of Montanans support Steve Daines' honest conservative leadership, Harry Reid won't let this race slip through his fingers without a fight.
And he and the President are willing to use any and every dirty trick in the book to win...
...President Obama even went so far as to appoint retiring Democrat Senator Max Baucus Ambassador to China so Montana's Democrat Governor could appoint Steve's opponent to serve out the remaining year in office and get an unearned fundraising advantage in this race!
That's why it's so important for you and me to give Steve Daines an extra shot of support in his U.S. Senate bid today.
Make no mistake: the chances of the GOP retaking the Senate from Harry Reid without a victory in Montana are slim to none.
So regardless of the exact amount – be it $2,600, $1,000, $500, $250, $100, $70, or $35 – Steve is counting on you to be as generous as we possibly can today.
I look forward to seeing your name on his list of top supporters very soon!
For Liberty,
United States Senator Rand Paul
Republican, Kentucky
P.S. Americans from my home state of Kentucky all the way to Montana who believe in limited government and liberty need Steve Daines in the U.S. Senate – especially with a GOP victory in this race giving us majority control!

Well I haven't posted much on the blog and there is a reason for that... A month ago I hurt my knee. I fell on it, don't want to get into details about it but it hurt badly. It never swelled up nor was the bruise bad. I thought it would just go away and I'd be better. It never did, I could not get my knee to straighten and I had a limp going. I fianlly got in to see the orthopedic (after begging and pleading for an appt), xrays were clear so I scheduled an MRI. Turns out I have a couple of small tears in my knee but they are not bad enough to warrant surgery and having it scoped out. Worst one is the MCL. It is torn and strained. I now have a Robo knee... a wonderful hinged knee brace which I am still trying to get used to being on. But it could be a lot worse! I start pt on wednesday, just as my back pt is being about over (last week today!). So between that and the meds for anti-inflammation which have messed up my sleep cycle. I have been slightly off.
Good news, while resting my knee this past weekend (and not going to New Orleans)I sewed a lot! All I need is the end pictures and I will be ready to post! :) I have mostly refashions and a few sewn projects. I do have another baby shower coming up (wahoo!) so more baby gift ideas coming up!
Hoping to not lapse any more with blogging! :)

Looking forward to seeing your new posts' your ideas are real inspirational. Sorry to hear about your recent knee problems, I myself have hip/pelvis problems and got muscle distrophy in my eblow after cortisone injections so had to stop playing drums in my Samba band. So I can no longer bang those drums. Which gives me more time to sew, but I do miss it dearly.

text: Today I worked on my last week before the holidays display. I brought in some netting stuff from home we had used on our Christmas tree one year and put out a lot of Christmas books, a couple of Hanukah books and I even found a Kwanza book! I think that covers them all! Checked in and out here and there. Had both lunches in. I had bought a silver thin lined pen over the weekend, knowing I could use it on the digital voice recorders that we had in. There was no real place to put a barcode, so our Instructional Coach and I decided to write the last four digits of the barcode inside the battery area of each recorder, and it was a tiny space! So I used my pen today to do all of them and now I'll just take it home and keep it since it is mine. Found an unused plastic case and all the recorders fit in perfectly with five of the boxes that are holding the batteries, their USB cords and the serial numbers off the boxes plus the sheet of barcodes. Got my PO for the rest of the OBOB books approved today, so they should be in tomorrow. Got to love Escape Fiction! They really go the extra mile! Ended up adding in a few more books to my bio/auto/memoir list (in case some of the books are not available) and got that sent off. Had another student finish off his work to pay off a book fine. Good for him! Love my library! Hope the Concert Choir comes in to sing tomorrow!

Torrent description
This is the first half of Roswell season 1 Original Audio Version episodes. These episodes are not from the DVDs released with changed music. These were recorded from the shows first airing back in 1999/2000. The music tracks in every episode contain the real original music, not the changed music that was put onto the official DVDs.
Note: I will ONLY seed until I reach a ratio of perhaps 4 or 5, after that, you people are on your own. I did my fare share. I will need to delete this data to save the rest of season 1, assuming you would like to see and hear it? ;)
These episodes are captured from PAL VHS, which I enhanced the video using VirtualDub's many filters and techniques. The audio is Dolby Stereo 2.0 on all episodes, except for two 2 minute scenes out of all episodes of the three seasons of Roswell. Those two short scenes were copies of a 5th-generation MONO VHS tape so the video AND audio were both VERY-bad quality! I did repair the video as best I could, also the audio I removed hissing noise that was on it (it was a mono tape!.) I also added some bass which is usually non-existent on mono tapes, I also altered the frequency of certain parts of the 2 minute audio track to enhance the words being spoken to make it sound much clearer. I used Audacity to enhance the audio. I will add a note in the torrent for the second half of season 1 which episodes have this minor issue and whereabouts in those 2 episodes. I have completed enhancing up to and including episode 14 of season 1 so far. Although, only episode 1 - 11 are in this torrent. I will release the second half of season 1 soon hopefully.
If anyone has copies of the original Roswell episodes with the real music (not the music that is on the official DVD episodes) please upload these episodes! Especially if they are as high video and audio quality as my episodes are.
I have also added two short sample .avi videos in the torrent for you to download and use as a sample to see if you like the quality. The first sample is the original intro scene of a random Roswell episode without any digital enhancement. The second clip is of the final enhanced copy of what the episodes will look like.
The file size of each episode varies from 290 - 310 for various reasons while compressing from its 15GB original source for one episode. The video and audio quality is not diminished, that can be seen clearly by downloading the enhanced sample. It is at the same file size x amount of time encoded as the episodes, gives a good indication of how the episodes will look. I would have preferred to have the episodes at the standard 350MB each episode, but I can not do that without performing several transcodes, which causes the episodes to become unstable and go out of sync by up to half a second! So, this way, the video and audio stay perfectly in-sync and the video/audio quality is still respectable. Besides, remember these were from VHS...enhanced VHS, but VHS none-the-less. So the quality is not going to be drop-dead-fantastic. Plus they are free. :P

I am a spammer...
So now I have to wait two days for some human at blogger to look at my blog and decide that it is OK. This page claims to explain what exactly triggers their spam filter:
"[S]pam blogs... can be recognized by their irrelevant, repetitive, or nonsensical text, along with a large number of links, usually all pointing to a single site."
OK, I don't think that we have that large a number of links (certainly a lot fewer than this one does), much less ones pointing to a single site, so I guess that our writing has now officially been judged as "irrelevant, repetitive, or nonsensical" by a computer program.

I've come to the conclusion that Blogger doesn't even have an algorithm to determine "spam" blogs, it just randomly tags blogs as such, like random breath testing.
The kind of blogs that have been blocked - including this one - vary so wildly and are generally so uncommercial in content that there is no way any program is actually deeming them spam. How could a blog with 100+ members and zero commercial links possibly get categorised as spam by even the crappiest algorithm?
So think of it as a routine thing.

Worse still is when your blog URL is hijacked and it becomes a porn site! That's happened to a couple of UAE Comm members too.

Yes, it happened to mine a while ago - Share Wadi blog. I just kept clicking on the link to review it every day. After a couple of weeks it was classed as non spam again.
