We have been not since doomed for the toils regarding deterioration and also damage since our elders could have us feel. Everything that takes place to our own physical wellbeing can be a reflection on the sort of person we have been and health can be a major spot where that is represented.
You can find 3 major techniques our actual wellbeing is relying on who we have been.
1). Behavior
2). Persona
3). Frame of mind
That is obvious. What we all choose to include our physique, how a lot of it, simply how much we workout, the top quality of sleep we get and more factors are usually behaviours in which impact and also influence our health and wellness for the higher or the particular worse.
Nonetheless, our behaviours tend to be than merely us carrying out stuff. They may be the international calling cards of our own deepest wants, our longings, our own voids and also our addictive problems. They furthermore reflect our own values and also belief. Which explains why you can easily learn a whole lot about oneself or other folks by the method that you or they care for themselves inside one's well being.
Yes it's true, your personality posseses an impact on your own overall health. "How? inches, you may well ask. Properly, again, just like behaviour, your personality can be a reflection of one's values.
Furthermore, your persona controls plenty of how you interact with the planet around an individual. It's a very important factor to take in healthy or perhaps exercise, but how you approach eating habits and workout is driven upon who we have been, what our own preferences are usually, unique quirks we've with certain things and how you associate together with certain areas of health practices.
This will be something worth remember when taking on healthy ingesting or workout. I, myself have taken to ingesting salads together with chopsticks and possess designed most of my martial-art sessions according to preferences and also associations which can be a large section of who I will be.
Always try to find ways to be able to integrate eating habits or workout that reflect elements of yourself so that you can encourage the future commitment for the shift.
Frame of mind
Your frame of mind reflects the particular level and/or form of commitment you placed into anything. Additionally it is a decent reflection of one's belief method around one thing.
The connection between frame of mind and opinion is properly represented between people inside their later period of living. There are usually many elderly people that use what their age is as a justification for not getting back in shape or perhaps adopting much healthier lifestyle alternatives. On one other hand, there are numerous individuals inside their 60s', 70s' and also 80s' + which can be aware in which their overall health is the particular direct results of the ailments they uncover their physique to, irrespective of age. That's just one single example regarding how frame of mind affects our overall health.
Attitude isn't only reflective of everything you believe just about all reflects just what values you might be most pushed and motivated by. In the event you care very about one thing, your more prone to take over a positive attitude that thing so that you can promote and also encourage the results you need. If an individual care tiny about one thing, this will express in a poor attitude which is only adopted out from the urge to get reasons or perhaps excuses to escape that activity that you will be repelled simply by.
Based with this distinction, attitude determines your choices you help make and the length of time your are usually will to follow them.
Irrespective of who you might be, what the personality, everything you believe or perhaps what the values are usually, you can easily leverage these areas of self in your favor in health. All you should do is arrange these areas of self in your genuine advantages for wanting well being, fitness and also wellbeing.
The grade of your health is as effective as the top quality the do it yourself that aligns with it.

First semester students at the University of Arts, Braunschweig create a parametrically designed and digitally produced chess board during their 'Digital Crafting' classes.
Supervision: Dr. Manuel Kretzer / Visiting Professor Digital Crafting
Students: Lydia Jasmin Hempel, Moritz Boos, Maximilian Dauscha, Tim Daniel Ingo Lüders, Leon Ehmke, Florian Schulze, Anna Ocklitz, Elina Mishina, Benedikt Schaudinn
The task of the course was to conceive a complete set of chess figures from a single algorithmic definition using Rhino and Grasshopper. Yet each individual figure should exhibit decisive individual characteristics, making it distinctively recognizable from the others.
The students were asked to depart from the classical notion of chess figures and reduce their particular features to a selection of essential parameters. One of each of the students' figures was produced from laser-cut layers of cardboard.
After a selection process, one final set was chosen, refined and 3D printed at Shapeways. Additionally, a chess board was designed, which was made from laser-cut black and white plastic fields that were inserted into milled cavities of an 8mm thick transparent sheet of acrylic.
Each student was asked to create a poster communicating their design approach. The course was part of the 'Digital Crafting' modules of the new 'Design in der Digitalen Gesellschaft' program at the University of the Arts in Braunschweig, Germany.
Those are renders, not photographs.
Hey Jason -- thanks for pointing this out. We just changed the captions to reflect that the images are in fact renderings, not photographs.

It's quite interesting seeing dry shampoo making it in Singapore. There used to be none. Then Batiste came in, slowly more brands can be seen on the shelves. I bought this, cause it was 1 for 1 at Watsons. For 50ml, the original price is $6.50. That's just pricey when you can get Batiste at $4. Anyway, I got the scent in London which is a classic fragrance. It's a very nice fragarance.
The spray is good and strong and the product come out white. It's rather obvious on black hair. But a massage to the hair will solve that problem. I so think that you do have to massage more in depth to get the powder to disappear. But the good thing is that this gives you the extra voloume. So not only your hair will stay less oily, it doesn't go flat.
I like this. I enjoy using this. It doesn't get heavy and can last for at least half a day. So it is good for the morning errands before you can take a shower.

Thank goodness it's the end of the week – sleep-in time tomorrow! Hurrah!
Anyway, are you ready for some jolly good blog-hopping!
It's time for Follow Friday Four Fill-In Fun, hosted by Hilary over at Feeling Beachie and co-hosted this week by Jennifer on What Would Jen Do! Every week Hilary and her co-hostee post four sentences for us to fill in the blanks. Here goes!
1 I have to be the worst cook in the whole world! I appreciate eating lovely food but I just can't be arsed to faff around making it! Sautee this, marinade that, flambe the other. Add herbs and spices . Season to taste. Season to taste like what, for God's sake! I mean, what's wrong with 'Bung in the oven and when you see smoke, it's ready'?
2. Although for the most part I love it, sometimes I wish I could just get rid of my ditzyness! I'd love – just once – to get in a lift, press the button and arrive at my chosen destination, instead of spending twenty minutes lurching up and down, only to end up on the same floor I started on, seeing the same, perplexed faces peering in at me! I'd love – just once – to find my purse when paying for a pizza, without having to empty the contents of my Mary Poppins-style bag and getting my arse stuck under a chair when trying to retrieve a loo-roll-sized tampon! And I'd love – just for once – to flirt with a cute Builder Guy and remember to ask his fucking name! 😉
3. The best thing about where I live is the people. It's a village and pretty much everyone knows everyone else. It was great when the boys were little; if one of the little Herberts was misbehaving at the other end of the village, someone'd be on the phone, grassing 'em up, within minutes. Not that my blonde-haired angels were ever any trouble, of course…
4. Aside from a new house, car or vacation, the first luxury I'd buy myself if I won the lottery is a chauffeur. I bloody hate driving! It's not the actual mechanics of driving that sends me insane, it's the other bleedin' drivers! They're so rude! And arrogant! When you veer into a hedge on a narrow lane, you don't get a 'thank-you', you get given the friggin' finger for not moving faster! And because we're in a tourist area, we have seven months' worth of visitors idling their way along the roads looking for quaint pubs and Ye Olde Tea Houses. Arggghhhh!
Hope you enjoyed! Now hop over to Feeling Beachie and join the fun!

The best place to start any kitchen remodeling is to interview three different kitchen remodeling contractors to get an idea of design options and to set a realistic budget, LA Build Corp.
Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) August 16, 2012
"As a homeowner myself, I believe knowledge is power even when it comes to home remodeling. I encourage my home remodeling clients to do their homework and shop around, interview at least three home remodeling contractors and do not get into a contract unless you have all your questions answered." Says Ami, president of LA Build Corp a Construction Company in Los Angeles with an A rating from Better Business Bureau.
Where to start & how to plan smart?
Figuring out a practical budget and making a wish list is the best place to start the kitchen remodeling plan. After finishing a wish list, separate the must haves from the "would like" to haves. Review the list with the kitchen remodeling contractor, an expert contractor would know where to splurge or cut down to meet a set budget and get the most for every dollar spent.
When setting a budget, it's important to keep in mind that the cost of labor can be around 20% of the total kitchen remodeling cost. Planning ahead and choosing a skilled contractor can easily turn an investment in kitchen remodeling to a ROI (return on investment) of 80-90%, putting kitchen remodeling cost amongst one of the highest returning investments in home renovations.
It is also best to find a construction company or home remodeling contractor that does not out source any part of the work.
When it comes to kitchen remodeling in Los Angeles, say Ami the president of LA Build Corp "after having a practical budget in place, the next step is to know what style or styles of kitchen remodeling design attracts you the most, and we figure out how to incorporate that with the style of the rest of your home."
Here are a few popular kitchen remodeling designs:
- Country Style Kitchens
Country Style Kitchen Remodeling in Los Angeles are warm and inviting, and they are the perfect style for large families or individuals that enjoy entertaining by preparing home cooked meals for their guests. Cabinets are usually hand painted in white, yellow, or beige, and the appliances are traditional white. Many homeowners also like the look of glass front cabinet doors, as it gives a nice down home feel. A large hand painted wooden table works well for the central area of the kitchen, and countertops can be designed with crisp white and pastel tiles.
- Traditional Kitchen Remodeling Style
The Traditional Kitchen style is a timeless design that will always be in fashion, and it is the perfect kitchen remodeling choice for large families. Consisting of a large center island complete with a cooking area, this style creates the perfect gathering place for busy families. Cabinets are large and roomy, and custom barstools can be placed around the center island in order for it to double as an eating area. Traditional colors of black, white, and grey are usually the more popular choice, but LA Build Corp will work with any color scheme their clients choose.

Eating out tastes even better when you're supporting a charity and the new Manna cafe at Christ Church in the high street is offering the chance to do just that.
The community venue serves Fairtrade coffee, homemade food and a programme of events, with all profits going to help underprivileged families living in Kenya's Mathare slum.

NTSB: Lack of preparation, training a factor in death of 2 on Alaska crab boat
On December 6, 2016, the motor vessel Exito slipped below the surface of icy Dutch Harbor waters, never to be seen again. Aboard when it sank were two men, contractors for Trident Seafoods. Their bodies were never recovered. Now, over two years later, the National Transportation Safety Board has released a report detailing several factors that it says could have saved the two men. click here to read the story 16:53
UPDATE: 2 remain missing after boat sinks near Dutch Harbor
Neither of the two missing crew members from a 117-foot vessel that sank off Dutch Harbor late Tuesday was found Wednesday, according to the U.S. Coast Guard. Operation Specialist 1st Class Trevor Frommherz, with the Coast Guard's District 17 Command Center, said that three good Samaritan vessels assisting the cutter Alex Haley with the search for crew from the Exito returned to Dutch Harbor Wednesday afternoon. Three of the Exito's five crew were rescued shortly after it sank about 14 miles northeast of Dutch Harbor. "We had the Alex Haley stay on scene — they searched throughout the night," Frommherz said. "There was no sign of the two missing crew members." Note: It appears the Coast Guard identified the vessel as a fishing vessel, when in actuality the vessel was being used to transporting cargo for Trident Seafoods between Dutch Harbor and the Aleutian community of Akutan. Read the rest here 13:58
3 rescued, 2 still missing after fishing vessel sinks near Dutch Harbor
A Coast Guard Air Station Kodiak MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter aircrew and four good Samaritan crews responded to the sinking of fishing vessel Exito after it began taking on water 14 miles northeast of Dutch Harbor, Alaska, Tuesday evening. Three of the vessel's five crewmembers were located by the good Samaritan crew of the Afognac Strait. The crewmembers were brought on board the vessel and are being transferred to Dutch Harbor. The Jayhawk aircrew and good Samaritan crews on the commercial fishing vessels Commitment, Blue North and Northern Lead continue to search for the remaining two crewmembers of the Exito. The crewmembers brought on board the Afognak Strait reported that one of the remaining crewmembers had put on immersion suit and was last seen preparing to abandon ship. Coast Guard Sector Anchorage watchstanders received a phone call at 9:38 p.m., Tuesday, from the owner of the Exito reporting that the vessel was taking on water and the crew was preparing to abandon ship. Coast Guard 17th District watchstanders diverted Coast Guard Cutter Alex Haley and requested the launch of the Air Station Kodiak Jayhawk. Link 15:37 About F/V Exito

How is Connor 11-Months? I know I ask this every month, but really I just can not wrap my head around it. From his 10-Month Birthday to 11-Month Birthday has been such a huge change. Connor now has a mouth full of teeth...8 to be exact (4 on the top & 4 on the bottom). He is WALKING!!!! That is right, I said WALKING!! On his official 11-Month Birthday he walked up & down the hall 3 or 4 times. He had been taking wobbily steps for 2 weeks or so, but not really putting it all together. Then out of the blue he started taking his normal few steps & then did not stop and walked all the way down the hall. I am so proud of our little bug and he has not slowed down since. I can also say his offical 11-Month weight is 22.2 lbs - one big boy! We have made a few trips to the doctors office in recent weeks, so he has been on the scale more times than I would like to count. Don't worry nothing dire, just another day in the life of our little germ magnet. Connor has also really deveopled a mind of his own. He knows what he wants & is not afraid to let you know. We are working on asking for things nicely - lol. Below are the photos from his 11-month photo shoot...(I said in past tense because I cheated and marked this post as his actual birthday, in reality it is almost two weeks later and we just took his offical 11-month photos earlier this week....no judging - lol). As I think I mentioned at his 10-month photos he loves to play with the sticker instead of smile at the camera...so they are not perfect photos, but it pretty much is how things go around here these days. I also learned my lesson, it takes two people to take these photos....live & learn :)
HAPPY 11-Months Connor!!
What is this on my shirt?
I can just pull it off...so fun!
Maybe if I give her one smile, she will give me that sticker back...
I want my sticker back!!
Why did you put it back on my shirt?
Thanks Mom, this is such a fun game!

Happy Tuesday!!
The weekend went by way too quickly and it's Happy Tuesday already. I absolutely love all the feedback and comments I'm getting from all of you. I love reading about what steps you are taking on doing more of what makes you happy.
Keep it coming!
Now for some of you who need a little encouragement, a little support, and a little love.
Here it is.
Sometimes, we're not all fortunate to grow up in a nurturing and loving environment, I can attest to that. But don't give up. Don't think that you're not deserving in anyway. You are.
You just need to believe and love yourself.
The rest will come.

Based on the events of the past couple days, Jabari Parker has already taken Milwaukee by storm and captured the heart of the city.
Between his excitement leading up to the draft about the possibility of being picked by the Bucks, his media appearances and introductions as a member of the team, and his public appearances in Milwaukee (such as throwing out the first pitch at the Brewers game), his charisma and energy has Bucks fans looking forward to the future.
Obviously, the Bucks are wasting no time capitalizing on the buzz of having a player who is already the favorite to win the Rookie of the Year award next season.

Repair Wood Trusses Repair Wood Trusses
Wood trusses are assemblies of pieces of wood connected by steel plates that are used for various purposes, but serving mainly as a support across open space or gaps. Wood trusses are common components of various types of floors, ceilings and roofs. Although wood trusses may withstand different weights and pressures applied to it, there are still instances in which it can be damaged. The most common cause of damage to wood trusses is an unexpected impact on the wood trusses, causing the support planks to be pried off from its attachment, break apart, or disintegrate. If you encounter such a problem, don't worry because the problem is easily addressed. Below are the steps for repairing wood trusses.
Step 1 – Identify the Extent of the Damage
Survey the roof to determine the specific area where the damage on the truss is visible. Mark this spot with a pencil, and measure the extent of the damage. Determine also the reason for the damage, whether the wood truss joints are dislocated or removed or if the planking is destroyed. If it is the latter, measure the size of the damage in order to have an idea of the length of the plank that will be needed to repair or replace it.
Step 2- Preparing and Securing the Plank in the Damaged Area of the Truss
Cut two planks into two pieces one foot longer than the size of the damaged area. Place the planks over the damaged area by sandwiching the damaged section between two cut planks. Put the planks in the center of the damaged spot to ensure that the area is fully covered. Keep the planks in place with the use of a C- clamp.
Step 3 – Drilling and Securing the Planks in Place
Once the planks are securely placed and held by the C-clamps, start drilling holes between the planks and the damaged spot. Make six separate holes using a drill, each about 1.5 inches away from the other. It is also important that the holes do not form a straight line in order to fully cover the whole of the damaged spot. Create holes that are large enough for the bolts to fit in. Screw the bolts in each of the holes, and tighten them down. You can use a hammer to push the bolts in place until it is securely tightened. You may now remove the C-clamps.
Step 4 – Realigning Broken Joints
If the problem is broken joints, identify the location of the dislodged plank joint. Remove it with a hammer if it is already realigned. Push the planks back to the original alignment, and replace the plate on the sides of the plank. Do not reposition the joints on the same spot as before, but move it slightly away so that it can stick on newly punched wood. Secure the joints in place using nails.

EASTON, Conn. Three 17-year-olds were arrested and charged with assaulting an Easton resident because of his ethnicity, police said.
Easton police were dispatched to a party on Lobdell Lane at 11:30 p.m. Aug. 10. The 19-year-old victim was assaulted outside that home, police said, and then transported to his home on Rosewood Drive, where the three defendants assaulted him again. The windows of two vehicles in the victim's driveway were also smashed, police said. In an investigation, police determined the victim was assaulted with the specific intent of intimidating or harassing someone because of his or her ethnicity.
The three teens were charged with two counts of second-degree intimidation based on bigotry or bias, third-degree assault and possession of alcohol by minors. Bond was set at $5,000 with a court date of Aug. 19.
Also, 17 minors received infractions for underage drinking after Easton police were dispatched to the party at 17 Lobdell Lane. Byran Pestone, 21, of Fairfield, and James Perkins, 22, of Fairfield, also were charged with allowing minors to illegally possess liquor in a dwelling or private property.
Monroe and Trumbull police assisted at the party. The incident remained under investigation.

I suppose that the Trump Cultists (aka his supporters) see the current cock fight between Trump and Sessions as just more Fake News from the liberal media. The rest of us (the sane portion of the American public) are quite certain that Trump's battle with former Senator Jeff Sessions and now Trump's hand-picked Attorney General, is about Russia: Russian meddling in our election, Trump's love of Putin, The Trump Team's ties to Russians, The Trump Family's financial dealings with Russians. There simply can be no other reason for Trump's daily Twitter campaign maligning, sliming and dissing Sessions. He wants him gone.
The full picture, of course, involves the current House, Senate, and Special Counsel investigations into all things Russian. Trump has even turned to Hillary as a reason why Sessions should be fired (the Department of Justice hasn't put Hillary in jail) which to all of us who aren't Trump Cultists is just about the most laughable "reasoning" possible here in the real world. But then this is the Trump Administration, isn't it, so all things are possible. But this is vintage Trump: blaming Obama, blaming the Deep State, blaming liberals, basically blaming anyone and everyone but himself for the mess he's in. In truth, he has no one to blame but himself.
And he is in a mess. This cock fight between the New York Rooster and the Alabama Rooster has arisen, one conjectures, because the multiple Russian Hacking investigations are edging closer and closer to Trump and his family. (Read: Trump Family Finances.) Don't forget, the NSA, the CIA, the FBI, the Gang of Eight, the House, the Senate and the Special Prosecutor know a hell of a lot more than we do about where all these investigations are heading.
Trump VS. Sessions? I detest Sessions' politics and political views. During his 20 year reign in the Senate, he has fought every immigration bill that has come up and objects to legal immigration as well. In 1986, a Senate committee denied Sessions, then a 39-year-old U.S. attorney in Alabama, a federal judgeship. His former colleagues testified Sessions used the n-word and joked about the Ku Klux Klan, saying he thought they were "okay, until he learned that they smoked marijuana." But Sessions has also worked with Democrats, ironically on Criminal Justice Reform, until he became the first sitting U.S. Senator to endorse Trump.
In the Trump/Sessions Cock Fight, the most remarkable irony is that Sessions as Attorney General is implementing Trump's "policies" probably more than any other of his Cabinet pics save EPA's Scott Pruitt. So far Sessions' Department of Justice has re-instituted a search and seizure policy of criminal assets, eliminated the Obama policy of phasing out private Federal prisons, re-instituted the War on Drugs, re-instated maximum sentences for minor drug offenses, relentlessly pursued Trump's immigration policies, and much, much more. Politically it would seem that Trump and Sessions are bosom buddies.
So there is only one conclusion that one can draw from this cock fight: Trump is fighting for his political life. Since Sessions cannot exert control over Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russian investigations since his recusal, Trump feels vulnerable. He wants someone in the Attorney Generals' Office who will quash the investigation. It's the very same reason that he fired James Comey as Trump himself admitted. Trump is beginning to run into some headwinds (a slight freshet) from Sessions former Senate buddies. About a dozen have publicly come to Sessions' defense and called Trump's "tweets" inappropriate.
Sessions holds all the cards. It seems quite obvious that someone in the White House has cautioned Trump about firing Sessions. It would indeed precipitate a Constitutional Crisis and a firestorm of public reaction. (Then again, who knows how those candy-ass Congressional Republicans would react?) For the moment Trump has held back from firing Sessions, instead using his Twitter account to try and so insult, disrespect and demean Sessions as to cause him to resign. Sessions is not having it. And he's right. Not only does he hold all the cards (support from Republicans, Trump's cockamamie tweets about his self-centered view that the Attorney General should protect him rather than uphold the laws of the United States and the Constitution) but Sessions is very popular among conservatives, right wingers, Evangelicals and, naturally, Trump Cultists. This is no big surprise since as a Senator Sessions was an arch-conservative. So Trump will put himself on the wrong side of the very folks who elected him if he fires the Attorney General.
Trump cannot win this one. Me? I'm hoping that he fires Sessions. I think that he will since he simply cannot see himself as other than America's Top Mafia Don President and no one can thwart his aims. Plunging the nation into a crisis not seen since Watergate? Not something that Trump would even consider. He's the country now. He's the boss. Besides, Russiagate is fake news isn't it, so what's the problem?
Have A Great Day!!

So like 12 million other people, I've become quite the fan of Pinterest. I think I'm a fairly creative person, but Pinterest usually leaves me wondering, "Why didn't I think of that?" So after countless repins, and creating my own boards–I've actually started to make my own variations of things I've seen on there, and I'm going to share one of them with you today.
I wanted to make some sort of centerpiece for my sister's baby shower and decided to go with a onesie bouquet of sorts. Here's the materials that I used:
4 smaller sand pails (found at Target for $1 a piece)
12 onesies any colors (6 my sister already had, 6 I bought at a secondhand store for about $1 a piece)
Floral wire
Fake flowers any colors (I bought 6 bouquets with 6-8 flowers in each bouquet at Jo-Ann's for $9)
Floral foam (bought 4 at Hobby Lobby for $5)
Clear scrapbook stickers any kind (bought 2 at Hobby Lobby for $4)
Mini pinwheels (bought 4 at Hobby Lobby for $4)
Start by decorating your pail. I used baby boy scrapbook stickers and I think they look better having a clear backing, rather than a white backing. The pails could have remained undecorated also–personal preference.
Next, take a onesie, lay it flat and fold the sides in like the photo below. Then simply start rolling. I personally think it's easier if you start with the snaps and roll up towards the neck. It's also much easier if your cotton is somewhat thin.
Then, pick one of the ends to be your "bloom." This may take a few minutes but just experiment with it. Try folding back the onesie, or pull out some of the fabric, and try to make it look like a flower. It will work! Then secure your rolled onesie by wrapping floral wire about 3/4 of the way down (this allows the wire to remain unseen). I also like floral wire better than floral tape because I think it's easier to work with. I opted to put 3 onesies into a pail, and below is what my rolled onesies look like.
Now, place your floral foam into the bottom of the bucket and use the adhesive patch to make it stick. I like the dome shape that the one below provided. Place your onesies on top of the foam and then begin filling in with the fake flowers.
Once you've filled in with your fake flowers, it should look something like this.
I've made three of these so far and am pretty pleased with the way they've turned out. They only cost about $8 a centerpiece to make which is FAR cheaper than it would have been to do flowers or balloons. I'm slowly, but surely becoming a do-it-myselfer and I'm a big fan. It still bothers me sometimes that I can't come up with the ideas on my on, but if I can at the very least implement them and put my own spin on it–I'm good with that. Until next time…happy pinning!

Lieberman, Giffords, McMahon again, and The Coming Storm
With the week almost over, I thought I'd draft up something to post. I've been busy working on a few different pieces, but alas - I've been heads down on a number of other commitments which have kept me from finalizing the entries. And these are real barn burners which are sure to tick of the Proletariat at Status Quo (Republican) Headquarters over in New Britsky. And Hey, I appreciate the traffic to the blog, and your emails - its been quite reassuring to know that like-minded people are "tuning in" from Twitter, Facebook, and through general searches on the Web who are sick of the collusion and idiocy within our CT GOP leadership. My advise is to keep up the pressure, and never give up!!
So onward...
|On to the Galactic Senate for
Joe Palpatine?
This week our old foe (and sometimes friend) Joe Lieberman announced he's not running for re-election. We know he has some health-related issues, and given that Senator Palpatine has been in there for eons, he's probably ready for a change of pace. Running as Al Gore's running mate probably aged him more than his recent inter-party battles with the fringe elements of Connecticut's Democrat Party.
In truth, I'm not a huge fan of Joe Lieberman because his record shows that despite the left-wing media's determination to paint him as a moderate, he's voted with Democrats 95% of the time. He voted for socialized healthcare, gay marriage, bailouts, and all the tax and spend bills Democrats have rammed through during their off and on majority. On the other hand, he supported the Gulf War and the extended war in Afghanistan which was considered too Republican-minded for crazed anti-war crowd in Liberalville.
Oh, yeah, then he gave a speech in support of his friend and colleague John McCain at the Republican National Convention. This was probably one of the few moments in the last 60 years where friendship actually stood above politics. Unfortunately, for Joe, it pretty much led to the beginning of the end for his tenure as a Democrat. But to his credit; he got the last laugh. He taught his own Party a lesson by running as an Independent and defeating both the Republican and Democrat candidates, and returning to the Senate for a final victory lap.
There is a lot of speculation in the Websphere about whether or not Lieberman will actually complete his term. The real question being would he actually step down early knowing that it would give Governor Dan Malloy the opportunity to appoint a temporary Senator, thus handing Democrats the advantage of running from an incumbent position? We don't know.
Since my telescope has been pointed at the madness within the Connecticut Republican Party, I don't have much insight into the current relationship between the Dems and Lieberman; other than he still caucuses with them. I guess he could either serve out his term and let everyone just play their own game, or he could mend ways with his Party and throw them a bone to close the loop on his Democrat legacy.
Personally, I hope he serves out his term and tells Connecticut Democrats to stick it. It would be a fitting way to go out - standing tall, particularly after the way they sought to censure, and embarrass him for being loyal to his old friend, John McCain. Let that be your legacy, Joe. Who knows when we'll see that kind of gesture in Congress ever again.
I haven't written anything on the whole Gifford's story because quite honestly, I'm tired of hearing about it. The media's handling of the whole situation from the minute the bullet left the chamber to the present endless coverage has been nothing short of disgraceful. Even one Connecticut Television Reporter, George Colli, tweeted that the event could be the defining political event of our time. I thought about tweeting back to him, but I didn't want to make him look any dumber than he already did. This is what happens when a political candidate loses and turns news reporter - they pimp their own malarkey. Colli is better off up on Fox 61s roof talking about snow.
Like everyone else, I hope she pulls through. I'm horrified at the murder of the 9 year old girl who had so much to live for, and yet her life snuffed out by a sick marxist wackjob. This guy deserves the death penalty. It aught to be interesting to see how this all unfolds. In the meantime, journalism sank to a new low. And you wonder why Republicans can't stand the Media. Pathetic creeps. All of you.
My last comment is on the dark clouds over the latest Connecticut GOP alignment. From the way things are shaping up, Chris Healy seems ambivalent over the steady outcry over his failure as Chairman of Connecticut's Republican Party. The chief incompetent got an earful last weekend at an event held in New Britain with 500 outraged Republicans. He sat silent and motionless, taking it all in, and likely secretly adding names to his enemies list for future reference. So arrogant and detached, he probably missed an opportunity to defuse some anger by - at a minimum - talking to the crowd and accepting some personal responsibility for the CT Party's fall backwards in the face of National Republican victories. Also, we know that Healy has been busy working over State Central Members, and Town Committees trying to sure up his own support. I can't imagine what kind of story he's concocted to explain away complete defeat other than to throw the candidates under the bus; At times I wonder - does he actually "get it"?
|Would we really be surprised to
see the Return of Sith Empress
Linda McMahon?
There are other names floating around for Chairman given the statewide recognition of Healy's ineptness. But if Healy doesn't resign (unless a majority of State Central Membership calls for a vote of no confidence) then we are stuck with him and likely another series of dimwitted maneuvers to advance his lose-win agenda. Yeah, that's - we lose the election, and he wins by collecting big bucks from Linda McMahon (or his wife does or both).
Republicans will be stuck in a permanent spin cycle on this one. It will take someone with a tough skin and a fair amount of cash to overcome the antics from Republican Headquarters doing Linda's bidding, and McMahon's personally financed propaganda machine. I think a lot of good, principled candidates are going to look at the tall mountain of greenbacks to climb and say forget it. But we might get a candidate similiar in nature to a Peter Schiff (certainly NOT Peter Schiff I pray God - he doesn't have the personality or organizational skills) to stand up and challenge Linda on policies and issues. Hopefully, not someone with a background that is more controversial than hers.
So unless someone takes action, we are certainly going to face doom. You might ask, why King, do you expect that Linda would automatically lose?
Well, in the first place, as post-election results have shown, Linda is unpopular among women. And her overall vote count wasn't as close as expected. This is due in part because she helped build a Pro-Wrestling circus that advocates violence and promotes bad behavior (even if only resulting in moms trying to get their 8-year olds to stop emulating wrestlers by jumping all over the sofa and fighting at school), and second, her arrogant mailings and attacks on fellow Republicans are not something that will simply pass from memory. People are still angry about the convention-rigging, and nasty personal attacks.
More important is that since the Republican Party appears on target to maintain the status quo and repeat last year's collusion and treachery, its likely that Tea Party members and others will work to form a coalition under the Constitution Party. Laugh all you want, but even if those numbers appear small; the little army is quite capable of inflicting damage to McMahon's candidacy. These folks are pissed off enough, and will work like machines to get out the vote for their Independent candidate which will derail the McMahon train in the General Election. Even Healy and his cronies can do the math, Democrats stick together, and in a close election, Republicans losing an additional 4-7% points to an independent candidate guarantees defeat for McMahon - regardless of how many millions she spends. The science of demographics and the forecasting tell the story.
So there you have it. Another week of trouble in paradise. There's plenty to talk about next time... Dan Malloy is going to provide all of us with plenty of material over the next four years. I hope he is enjoying the televised applause over handing out donuts to his union buddies during the series of snowstorms because there's a whole new storm coming - the battle over the state budget. I can't wait!

Sorry, I've been sleeping zzzzz
I know I haven't blogged for a while, I've been really tired. The cfs has kicked in big time which isn't fun. I'm just so very tired all the time and I'm on antibiotics for an infection, so I'm grumpy and blooming miserable.
Third weigh-in on Monday lunchtime. I lost 2 ½ pounds which brings my total to 8 ½ now. I know I should be pleased, but for some reason, I feel quite disappointed that I didn't manage another three pounds to get three in a row. But Monday I achieved my half stone and also my 5% goal was reached.
So looking forwards I have no ww meetings until Monday 9th which I'm struggling with. I need the continual motivation which the regular meetings gives me and I've already fallen off the wagon as it were, I had pate on proper bread-toast this morning which is about my daily allowance of points in one mouthfull!
Today is my last day at work for two weeks *hoorah*, so I don't know when I'll be able to blog again. I plan on sleeping quite a lot and hopefully recouping some much needed spoons. I've definitely been trading against the future, which is never sensible. So to one and all, Happy Christmas and may 2012 bring you everything you wish for.
December 15, 2011
Hindsight is a wonderful thing.
The problem with fibro and cfs is that you get to a point where you (almost) forget they're lingering around. You get to a point where you're (sub-consciously) managing your day and popping the lovely pain-pills at set times. You feel almost human again and the people around you are picking up the extra bits that you've forgotten you can't do anymore because they're so fabulous.
And then something hits you hard and fast. It can be something as simple as not wrapping up warmly enough when you go and shut your chickens away at night, or a bug that you might have caught the edge of or, an emotional battering ram that has just come and smacked you in the solar plexus and totally winded the very life out of you.
I should have recognised the signs, I should have listened when I was told to go and have a nap, but no. I had to be blasé about how much the appointment on Tuesday afternoon had gotten to me. Yesterday therefore was a proper struggle. I eventually got out of bed, which is no mean feat in itself sometimes. I even managed to get on a pair of socks which was impressive considering the state of my finger and hips joints. After a great faff, I was washed and somewhat dressed. I even managed to go down the garden and let the chickens out (although stupidly, without gloves on) make and eat my breakfast and make it to my desk at work. By that point, with that wonderful gift that is hindsight, I'm guessing is where my spoons ran out. (if you don't know what I mean when I talk about spoons, look up 'the spoon theory' and have a read)
I was sat at my desk doing, quite a lot of typing yesterday. It's getting to year end, calendar and company, and I have quite frankly, shed-loads to go. Stuff to get off, stuff to get finished, stuff to get organised for the accountant, stuff to find a space in the cupboard for. You know, normal secretary stuff. So I'm typing – with my compression gloves on for a change so yey, get me, listening to my body and all that tosh – and it's at a point sometime after lunch when the boss and I are attempting to have a conversation. I have to admit, I have no clue what this conversation was about, I suspect something important about a client but pass. He then stops talking to me and just says 'how much longer are you going to last?' and I gazed, blankly back at him. Classy.
I'm sent home early, again and I get to the arm of the sofa. Can't manage to actually get on the seat and hubby tries to get me to go to bed, but I'm insistent I need to make a cup of tea or cook tea or something. Anyway, I won't go to bed, I just won't. I'm sure I'm coming across as a petulant toddler right now, but no, I won't go. So he bundles me onto the sofa and tells me to sit still. Course, by the time he returns with my cup of tea, I'm asleep. At 4pm in the afternoon. And I sleep for over an hour. I manage to cook tea and only burn myself once, but somehow don't drop anything, well, nothing that breaks anyhow. I'm in bed at 9.30pm and I sleep until the alarm goes off at 7.30am. I wake, all fuzzy headed and feeling like I've been in a fight whilst running a marathon. I am so sore inside all my bones and joints and I hurt all over. I can't understand why my skin isn't bruised shades of green and yellow and purple. And today, I have to try and do the same all over again. This work malarkey is tough. I want to sleep, here and now, at my desk. I want to take something to make the sore-ness go away, I just want to be normal.
But cfs and fibro have ruined any chance of 'normal' now. I hate it. I hate who I've become, this self-pitying, heavily-reliant-on-others individual. This isn't who I am, not really. I should have slept when we got back from the Consultants, I should have not rushed to try and get to work on time yesterday, I should have given up on cooking tea and slept for longer. I shouldn't be at work right now.

Getting one's hopes up.
I made it quite obvious that I was hoping this Consultant this afternoon was going to change my life. Yeah, that was a foolish assumption. Hubby came with me to the appointment, as he does with all of the specialists and even he's left thinking 'what the heck was that for?'
The guy agrees I have cfs. Not an issue. He also says it can't be cured or prevented, which we already knew. Says I need to learn what my triggers to falling asleep almost instantly are and work around them. Says I need to work less hours, sleep more and do some exersize.
So. Taking them in no particular order, how does he propose I exersize with the fibro? Name me a non-impact form of exersize that is free. How the heck to do I anything MORE than what I'm doing now, without hurting myself? And sleep more – seriously? I'm in bed by 9pm most nights, not the midnight I used to be able to do. I can't get up in the mornings, I'm falling asleep at mydesk around 3pm. When am I supposed to fit in any more sleep and actually live a life worth living?
And work less. For heaven's sake, I'm not working 37.5 hours as it is, I haven't for ages! When I pointed this out, he just said I'd have to cut down even more. When I said I couldn't afford the second drop in income he turned around and said 'why should chronic fatigue be any different to cancer? If you had cancer, you'd stop working in an instant if it meant you had a better quality of life.' What I would have liked to have said to him was that if I had cancer, I'd be signed off as unable to work and would be able to claim some sort of benefits to enable my income to remain vaguely steady. I'd also get free prescriptions and some help with living my life to the full within the constraints of the awful illness that I was experiencing. But I have cfs and fibro. None of the above apply. The system doesn't work. I have no help, financially, emotionally, physically.
He says I'm going to be referred to the OT team who will teach me to pace and prioritise my day. What a waste of time. I had all that last year with my OT. Who accepted I don't have a normal, nice nine to five that has regular things happening at set times. Pacing doesn't always work properly on my desk.
Hacked off doesn't even come close to how I feel right now. Hubby says we'll work it out somehow but I honestly don't know how we're going to do that right now. Any ideas peeps? I'm all out.
A little bit of everything
Well, weigh-in number two yesterday. It's no secret that I was hoping I'd lost four pounds to make my half stone in two weigh-ins but it wasn't to be. Another three instead which I KNOW isn't a bad thing atall and slow and steady weight loss is the best way to do it and blah blah blah, but I was really hoping. And with everything that had happened with Felix and all that potential for emotional eating, I'd worked damn hard.
So. Two weeks in and six pounds gone. My target for next week is another three off, that way I'll have lost my half stone, hit my 5% target and had a three in a row. Then it's a two week break for Christmas and that's going to be difficult for me to stay motivated and on track. I like the regularity, the routine right now. Yesterday's meeting was 'What would you like for Christmas' and it was a case of did you want to lose, maintain or gain? Absolutely everyone (it seemed) was happy – over two weeks – to maintain their weight that they find themselves at next week. Whereas me, little old me, I want to lose at least four more pounds over the two week break.
Don't get me wrong, food will most definately be applied to my face over the festive season. I am very much looking forward to my Christmas dinner which I chose and ordered before the very thought of ww crossed my mind. But, I'm not willing to scupper all I've worked so blooming hard for, just for a box of chocolates or an extra roast potato.
Quite simply, if I can't get through Christmas, what chance do I have once my twelve weeks is over?
Onto totally different matters now, I'm off to see the CFS consultant this afternoon. My GP thinks this guy is going to change my life. I really, really hope so. This consultant has an OT team at his command too, so hopefully I'll have a new person to help me with the everyday stuff. Wrote the last of the Christmas cards last night and coupled with typing this, means my hands and back and shoulders are KILLING me today. Bring on the extra help I say!

The ups, must be followed by downs.
It's been a stupidly stressful week, hence the lack of postings. Wednesday I hit an emotional wall and I instantly wanted to comfort eat. Home alone, emotional with a cupboard full of crisps is really, really not a good place to be. But, somehow I kept busy and avoided the lure of crisps. I honestly do not know how I did it. Emotional eating has always been a big thing for me, I don't know why and I have no urge to get all psycho-analytical on you but I was in a rather a dark place and my one way of coping with it was not an acceptable choice. I just hope that Monday backs up what I did.
Thursday was crazy emotional too, but a positive emotional day. Something really great happened, that I was a part of and I was on cloud nine that evening, it was a fabulous afternoon. Once more, I managed to keep emotion and food separate. I baked a cake, but it was a ww cake and only 3 points a slice which I was able to work into my daily plan, so how can that be anything less than brilliant?!
Friday. Yesterday. Oh how awful that day started and ended. Got up as usual and went to let my chickens out. They've been a great boost to my life. When things are bad and all I want to do is hide in my duvet and not leave the bed for the day, I have a reason to get up. They have to be let out of their coop, they need checking and feeding and all that. Just like any other pet I know, but at the end of the garden, so I have to make an effort! Anyhow, one of my chickens, Felix, hasn't been on top form recently, she's lost some weight and hasn't wanted to be as boisterous as the other chickens. She was still eating and drinking and being a typical chicken, but yesterday morning there was something very not right. So, I put her in a private, quiet coop with some food and water and hoped for the best. Sadly, when I got home from work, as early as I could get home, she'd died. Which quite frankly is pants.
So last night I decided that I wasn't going to think about points. I cooked tea and I had a slice of the cake and just didn't stress about adding up and calculating stuff. I wanted a night off. And I don't regret it one bit. I was upset, last night I had more important things, quite frankly, to worry about than the blooming points value of this and that.
And now, Saturday dawns. And I've got to get back on track and get motivated again but today is very much a wanting to crawl back into the duvet day.
December 6, 2011
The day after the errm, day before!
So yesterday was the first weigh in. I know I made out I was dreading it, but I'd worked so hard that I knew I'd lost weight, there was no reason for it to be a same or gain. It was difficult, waiting in the queue behind the other people. You try and keep a distance to be respectful but you can't help but earwig, trying to hear what they had. Before me was a half, a four and then a four and a half. It was a tough act to follow. But, this pro-points scheme apparently is designed for a loss between a half and two pounds a week, so what with the first week novelty thrown in for good measure, three pounds is blooming good. And I'm finally accepting that.
I have a target (for myself I must stress, not set by anyone else) of five more pounds over the next two weeks. So please send me love and wishes and prayers and thoughts that I can find the strength and enthusiasm to stick with this. I know that is a really selfish request but if I don't ask, I don't get.
Jumped on the ww produce bandwagon yesterday, but it was bargainous from Poundland, which I feel made it worthwhile. I'm not paying supermarket prices, I refuse. So today I tried Onion and Herb Oat & Wheat Crackers and no word of a lie, they are blooming DELICIOUS. I think I'll continue to have these in my cupboard even after my 12 weeks are up!
Off to a concert tonight, not sure how I'll be tomorrow. Possibly stupidly tired and sore. I could do with having a snooze this afternoon so the CFS doesn't jump up and bite me later or tomorrow. Hmmm ……… best have a word with the boss ………

Day of Judgement #1
Well, not so much day of judgement as lunchtime of judgement. No? Okay, ten seconds of judgement.
The first dreaded weigh-in.
Before I tell you how it went, I do feel I owe you a big sorry. I was a proper grumpy mare last week, wasn't I? But if I can't be honest here, there's no point me strapping up my hands and wrists to type. So, if I'm being a right pain in the whatsit, you'll just have to unsubscribe or hit delete or something. The lows come with the highs.
Had an interesting weekend. Saturday I kept myself busy and found that I 'did' more if I didn't put the tv on, as much as Mr James Martin and his spun sugar with a gazzilion points creations tried to lure me in. Plus, our sofa is proper knackered. Really, really ruined and it's doing my back and hips zero favours, but these are the things we must endure until at least the January sales. So, the ipod was put on shuffle and the day was fabulous. Just doing *stuff* and rearranging bits around the house. Sunday I foolishly decided to wrap the last few Christmas gifts. Oh. My. Days. How painful is faffing with scissors and sellotape?! I was in tears by the end of it all, which isn't what wrapping lovely things is supposed to do. Hey ho. The joy that is writing Christmas cards is due this week and I have to confess, I'm dreading it. Writing and trying to grip a pen is like the worst thing for me. I just don't know how I can do a hundred of the damn things without them being illegible or me having a total pain breakdown. Feel free to comment suggestions as to card alternatives.
Today is back at work, with tales of snow up North. I love snow, so prettyfull. I'm sure it's an absolute 'mare for anyone with it trying to get to school or work and all that, but it was just so sparkly and lovely on tv this morning. Awh.
Oh and my weigh in – yeah it was okay. Lost 3 pounds. It'll do for starters I s'pose. No, I'm thrilled, honestly. I celebrated by buying some ww's yoghurts from the new Poundland. Only one point, brilliant.
December 3, 2011
So much to be thankful for.
It's a gorgeous day today, the view from this desk (well sofa) is glorious. The sun is shining and whilst there are no leaves on the trees or Disney bunnys bouncing around the place, it is still a lovely day. Today's post, I'm determined, is going to be very positive and upbeat. It might not be very long because my fingers and hands are absolutely blooming killing me but you'll never know if this took me ten minutes or ten hours to write, oh the joys of 'save draft' buttons!
I know some of you are worrying about me because of the ranting I've done all week and the very vocal admission of my struggle with this ww system. For that, I am truly sorry. This blog was never intended to upset anyone or cause you concern. I want you to giggle with/at me, not to think that I'm starving myself – I promise you, I will never do that – I want you to share this journey with me,to support and encourage and celebrate and commiserate.
Bleugh that's a bit girly isn't it?! Better get back to rambling!
Yes, in a very honest admission here, I am struggling with the pro points system. Not helped by the fact that my genetics made me 5ft tall. I am supposed to survive on the minimum points on the system, which in case you're atall interested is 26 per day. I love tea. I drink gallons of the stuff, it is my addiction in life. Well, tea and eBay. But that doesn't have any ProPoints thankfully. But milk does, so in order to satisfy my tea habit, I actually only have 23 points a day for food. Next time you're in a supermarket and you've nothing better to do that pick up random items and read the label, have a look at ww branded stuff and it'll have a blue number on it. That's this pro point thingy and I'm supposed to live off 23 of the bliters each day.
But, in a desperate attempt to claw this wittering back to the title, I am thankful that my points are only 23. I have rediscovered veg and fruit. Something I had, I'm ashamed to admit, begun to ignore / forget about. A handful of frozen peas with a meal, does not make five of one's five a day.
So, if nothing else, ww is re-educating me. I can feel full without a 10oz rump steak and all the glorious trimmings. Although, I am still not convinced that two crumpets with half a pound of Lurpak smeared all over them and my face, is not a suitable breakfast for a sunny weekend morning. Are you gasping in shock? Are you shouting at the computer screen 'NO! Step away from the glorious yellow-y melting substance of crumpet joy!' No? Ah, maybe that's just in my head then. But never fear, I did not eat that for breakfast this morning. I do not even want to consider how many points that would contain! Plus, there are no crumpets in the freezer or branded butter product in the fridge. I am learning how to work my meals out and I promise you, I'll cheer up soon.
So. Here goes;
I am thankful that the sun is shining this morning.
I am thankful for my ipod, so I can 'dance' like no-one is watching and burn calories without hurting myself, or going to a gym.
I am thankful for direct emails and texts and comments on this blog.
I am thankful for the splints and supports that enable me to type.
I am thankful for this food re-education.
I am thankful for easy-peel oranges.
I am thankful for my scales that gave me a boost of encouragement this morning.
I am thankful for my husband who has mastered that gadgetry that is my propoints calculator.
I am thankful for friends that worry about me. So very thankful indeed.

Day five dramas
Indeed there are dramas, of the single point calculation variety. There was total panic and carnage when this morning a conversation about ryvita crackers revealed that it isn't a pair of ryvitas that have one point value but a single ryvita is one point. Oh my life, all my calculations to date are WRONG! I knew I should have paid more attention to Mr Green in GCSE maths, no matter how scary he was. So all my day totals are wrong, my plans for the long, tedious weeks ahead are wrong and I just don't know how to cope with it all.
If you look in my food diary, not that you're likely to, to be fair but if you did, you would see some serious repetition taking place and if I'm bored on day five, what am I going to be like on day seventy nine when my twelve weeks are drawing to a close? Currently, I'm okay with the repetition; porridge with different frozen fruits for breakfast, random fruit to snack on in the morning, maybe a yoghurt if I'm feeling a bit brave (three points in the yoghurts I bought, owch!) then precisely weighed and calculated soup for lunch – usually lukewarm as it's kept in a thermos as we don't have a microwave in the office, with – the object of today's ranting, ryvitas. Dry ryvitas of course as ww think that any form of cracker lubrication is the work of the diet-devils. And to keep things interesting, I have three varieties of the aforementioned rectangular cracker brands; original, dark rye and lighter-than-air crackerbreads. The latter are rubbish with soup, you can't dunk them like in the advert and they stick to the roof of your mouth when you try and just munch them, imagining layers of cheese and butter on them to make the experience worthwhile. Tea is generally whatever I can cobble together from the points I have left.
It's rubbish quite frankly, this journey. I hate it already.
I want cheese and crisps and jacket potatoes with cheese and pineapple and coleslaw and pate on toast. I want fish and chips this weekend and there's no way my (emergency) 'weekly allowance' of 49 points is going to cover that. I am thinking about food all the time, especially when I'm miserable and cold and sore. Yesterday was a day when I could have quite happily stuck two fingers up at the ww establishment and dived into a pound slab of mature cheddar and followed it up with as many kit kat chunkys as I could shove in my face. Yesterday was a bad day. Not through lack of motivation as I never had any to begin with, but I was miserable and in pain and unable to snap out of the shocking emotional place I was in. How does two dry ryvitas – of any stupid flavour – fix that?

Chocolate for breakfast
Well it's true, isn't it? Most of us have indeed had chocolate for breakfast. Well, to be honest, I didn't but ONLY because my advent calendars were at work. Yes plural. There's three of us in the office and I bought a set of calendars and the other lady here also got a set. The boy failed us so we're deciding whether he should buy Thorntons or Hotel Chocolat ones for us next year. So I have a Hello Kitty calendar and a Disney Princesses one. And no, I haven't blooming calculated the sodding weight watchers points on it, I've just allocated one and so be it. Yes, I know I'm thirty-something and possibly too old for advent calendars but I had my very first (chocolate) advent calendar last year and I bought it myself. So get over the whole 'calendars are for kids' and be pleased that I have this one little pleasure in life today.
Can you tell yet that my attitude today is slightly questionable?
I'm in a funny place today, I'll be honest. I'm feeling very down, very low in myself. Am snapping at people when I have absolutely no reason to (so very sorry) and I feel really rather emotional. I'm sore in places that haven't been sore for ages and I just want to go home, wrap myself in a blanket and wallow in my self pity. I'm so very cold, but it's that weird cold where it feels like it's coming from inside. I can't feel my feet or ends of my fingers, so I'm struggling today and I don't want to. I hate these stupid frigging illnesses, I hate the way they just turn up uninvited and totally screw up my life.
(When I leave work and get home) I want to read my books, but I can't hold them because it hurts my wrists and shoulders too much. I want to wrap the last two presents I've got but my fingers will not play ball with the paper and sellotape. I want to be a normal human being and today, I am far from normal.
I just want a hug but it hurts to wrap my arms around anyone and it hurts to be touched. How completely crap is that?

Nana Quame – No Parking ( Feat. KK Fosu )
Rich Records brings us a brand new jam from the multiple-award winning highlife legend; Nana Quame entitled 'No Parking' featuring the D-Styler, KK Fosu and produced by Kaywa a.k.a. Highly Spiritual! Its been exactly one year when Nana Quame released "Akye" featuring Samini… He is back again to take us through another session of good music!
I would describe this record as the clash of the Titans since both artists made lots of waves in the music industry and left permanent footprints which will forever remain in the Ghanaian music history books. 'No Parking' is sure going to be one of the most recommended songs to take you through the Christmas festivities and even beyond.
As we said in the pre-press release for this song, Nana Quame made a huge comeback last year (2014) and released a couple of singles. However, things did not go as planned since most collaborations he planned did not work out. I believe he is back again with new sets of plans and here to stay. Nana Quame has always been an exceptional artist and his talents stays timeless! Enjoy 'No Parking' below and share….

For this reason I created Uziphel and Urizel to be miners primarily. They ran a dedicated skill queue to fly Hulks, later picking up the additional skills needed to be competent ice miners as well. They sat in empire, while their training progressed. Meanwhile, BSCL had joined Split Infinity Alliance and I sent Urziel and Uziel to their station system in Teneriffis.
It was in S1. that I was first able to really get involved in operations at an Alliance level. The culture we found was more open and accommodating. The Alliance leader, Quivering Palm was an amiable sort and we felt like we were having more of an impact than we had as a "guest" of the NC. We were welcomed, and valued as a corp and as individuals. Which for me atleast, was a welcome change of pace.
I learned then that the station was under the ownership of the mercenary alliance, Noir Mercenary Group. While I didn't know at the time why such a group would allow a comparatively small alliance such as ourselves to control the station. It made sense that they would not be able to safeguard it while on contracts and thus needed someone else to hold sovereignty and repel attackers. With the majority of the DRF up north dismantling the NC piecemeal and being blue with most, if not all our neighbors, including the powerful southern alliance Against ALL Authorities, it seemed that aside from the occasional roam that the home front was largely secure.
Then things changed.

Following are the box office collections of two recent movies.
Tees Mar khan
Got poor reviews from majority of reviewers. Average of 7 reviews as per Bollywoodreviewz is 2.14/5
The collections following release is as follows : Friday – Rs 12.75 cr; Saturday – Rs 12.75 cr; Sunday – Rs 12 cr
Tees Maar Khan collected about 38 crore (US$ 8.4 million) nett at the end of its first weekend, thus becoming the third largest first weekend collection for Hindi movies. The first weekend collections of Dabangg was Rs.48.5 crore and 3 Idiots was Rs.40 crore. (Source)
First week collection for TMK is 50 crores while that for second week is 10 crores.
No one killed Jessica
Got good reviews from most. Average of stars awarded by 8 reviews again by Bollywoodreviewz is 3.5/5
The collections following release is as follows: Friday – Rs 3.15 cr; Saturday – Rs 4.50 cr; Sunday – Rs 4.75 cr
It collected approx. Rs. 20.70 cr nett in its first week and approx Rs 6.75 cr nett in Week 2. Total so far: approx. Rs 26.5 cr nett. (Source1 , Source 2)
Interesting thing is that TMK had a box office record in its first weekend despite uniformly poor reviews. It went downhill from there but that cannot be attributed to reviews as most reviews were out by Thursday and Friday of release and if it really had shown an effect, it should have shown it in the first weekend itself. One cannot assume that whoever decided not to watch it based on reviews were actually planning to watch it on weekdays.
Even with better reviews, NOKJ couldn't come up with the kind of initial that TMK could generate. Yeah, there are lot many other factors involved- the buzz for TMK generated by good marketing and Sheila Ki Jawani, the star power of actors and film makers, subject with much more commercial appeal etc. But in nutshell- reviews cannot override all these factors. So if some one says that his film's box office performance was ruined by malicious reviewers, it is much more probable that the movie was actually bad which lead to bad reviews and unfavourable word of mouth too.
(Sidenote: Interestingly, TMK which is supposed to be a flop or average performance have a two week gross of 60 crores with 50 cr in first and 10 cr in second week. NOKJ which is a hit has a gross of around 27 crores with 20 cr in first and 7 cr in second. Yeah, agreed when one takes into account the budgets and massive print release, such grosses doesn't make sense. But when you consider in terms of sheer human number, roughly 2 times more people saw TMK despite bad reviews and poor word of mouth.)

EU Status Could Redefine Business in Baltic States
RIGA, Latvia -- Real-estate magnate Sol Bukingolts, an American-Latvian, is split right down the hyphen.
As the leading developer in Riga, Mr. Bukingolts is thrilled that Latvia might have a chance to join the European Union. But as the Chicago-raised vice president of the American Chamber of Commerce in Latvia, he wonders whether EU accession will push non-EU investors to the edge of the Baltic market.

"They say he's some kind of vampire," a young cop says about Hannibal Lecter in Silence of the Lambs. "They don't have a name for what he is," Jodie Foster's Clarice Starling replies. Oh yes, they do. Lecter is an oral sadist. When he can't physically bite someone in the wild, he does it verbally from behind bars with stinging insults and taunting clues. Serial killers are nothing if not expert manipulators. Lecter's oral sadism probably began in infancy when he was either forcefully breastfed against his will or he was denied it when hungry. He began to have fantasies of biting his mother or even consuming her. A real psychiatrist said that Lecter would be untreatable and that the only way to stop him would be to have his teeth removed by a court order (effectively castrating him).
The vampire is somewhat different. He has to bite and feed on blood or he will perish. He is something of an oral rapist. Several women I have known over the years have confided their rape fantasies to me. This surprised me (I have always said that women are an enigma even to themselves, hearing those statements confirmed it to me). They then quantified their remarks by saying that they only wanted to be raped by their partner and not a stranger. They would never admit it publicly for fear of being branded a slut or being accused of letting the feminist cause down. Taking these admissions as consent would be walking into a moral and legal minefield for a man. Nevertheless, these feelings bubble away under the surface. Sexuality cannot be compartmentalized into simple black-and-white parameters no matter what the propaganda says. Fifty Shades of Grey was aptly named for a reason.
The actress Barbara Steele once said that women feel sorry for the vampire and feel that they can save him. You could argue that from a feminine perspective, the vampire could be viewed as a sort of desperate, lonely addict impelled to attack strangers to survive. Anne Rice put that female perspective across very well in her Vampire Chronicles series. She rejected the mythology that had gone before ("The rantings of a demented Irishman," Brad Pitt's Louis says in Interview with the Vampire when asked if he is afraid of crucifixes, a reference to Dracula and its author Bram Stoker's suspected death from Syphilis.) Her work focused on the eternal ennui of the vampire. "Still whining, Louis!" Tom Cruise says near the end of the movie, sending up all that has gone before and ameliorating the withering Stoker put-down earlier.
Even the glittering, hunky teen Twilight vampires have a place in the lexicon. The vampire as a psychological symbol has always thrived as it touches on so many of our desires and fears. It is a mutating virus that fits the human psyche hand-in-glove. It is open to the interpretations of any era. As sophisticated as we think we are in the modern world, the vampire is always lurking in the shadows of our subconscious to fascinate us. Comments welcome.

Gurgaon-based telecommunication solutions company, Nutek India Ltd, said that it was close to sealing a Rs 25-30-crore infusion from a leading US-based fund by end-this month. "We are in the final stages of closing this deal," Nutek India Managing Director Inder Sharma told reporters here.
The US-based fund will be picking up an around 10 per cent stake in Nutek, Sharma said, however without disclosing the identity of the US-based fund. The sale price is expected to be in the range of Rs 170 per share. Earlier, Atherstone Capital had invested Rs 10 crore in the company for an around 8 per cent stake. Atherstone Capital had been sold the company's shares at Rs 87 per share, Sharma said. This transaction took place nearly two years ago.
Post the fund-infusion expected to be completed by end-this month, the promoters' holding in the company would come down below 80 per cent from the present around 90 per cent, Sharma said.
Nutek's core expertise lies in the breadth of services it provides to its customers in the telecom infrastructure market. It provides turnkey infrastructure creation and installation for telecom sites which includes passive infrastructure like towers, telecom shelters, power plants, back-up power, DG sets, electrical infrastructure and earthing stations, among other services.
