Slater and Gordon is facing a possible class action suit from a rival law firm due to a "devastating" share price drop suffered since acquiring a division of embattled Quindell earlier this year.
Rival Maurice Blackburn said shares in the law firm have shed around 90 per cent since April, as investors questioned its acquisition of the professional services division of insurance outsourcer Quindell for £633m.
The uncertainty has been compounded by proposed legislative changes to the personal injury market in the UK, as well as Slater and Gordon's withdrawal of revenue and earnings guidance.
Maurice Blackburn said it was looking to start "a shareholder class action should we determine after further investigation that Slater and Gordon has a case to answer in relation to its disclosures to the market and the devastating share price drop suffered by its shareholders."

close your eyes and imagine the coolest coin purse you have ever seen. it is neon yellow and says its contents in large brick letters on the front and back: DOPE.
now imagine that filled with not dope, but pirate treasure. Seventy five dollars worth of James Monroe 1$ gold coins.
now put that in my purse in real life and you will have the highlight of my year.
(i would take a picture of it but my camera doesn't work). Paying for things has NEVER been so much fun.

During the past two weeks, I have been involved in the Societal Resilience course, assisting our professor in the seminar sessions for the new batch of students. It has been such a refreshing experience, bringing back good memories of when I had just started the programme, one year ago.
The seminars are preceded by assigned readings, a lecture, and a personal reflection in a special format submitted by every student beforehand. During the session, students discuss in groups and present their answers and conclusions in front of the other classmates.
I truly enjoyed listening to the engaging discussions of the new DRMCCA students. The diversity of their backgrounds, both educational/professional and the region of the world they come from, add important value to the conversation. This was a good opportunity for me to get to know the new students better. At the same time, I had the chance to revisit some of the Societal Resilience topics with a fresher outlook, after one year of studies. I am looking forward to the next seminars.

I will not vote McCain...
I have been watching the debate tonight...and its taken both Palin and Biden all of 10 minutes to help me come to the conclusion that I won't be voting for EITHER Obama or McCain!
Honestly, I can't tell the difference between either of these two "bipartisan" politicians.
Palin had a perfect opportunity to explain exactly WHO is responsible for the current economic condition and she failed miserably...not even mentioning the outrageous "tweak" to the fair housing act that occured under Billy boy!
And then she dared to blame "greedy lenders and Wall Street"...sounds just like a liberal!
News flash for both of them...the middle class does well, when the wealthy...the owners of corporations and businesses of all sorts (you know...those who EMPLOY the middle class!) do well!
We have two parties now..."Liberals" and "Liberal Lite"...disgraceful!
There is no Republican party...let alone Conservative party left in this nation!

Private bath, originally uploaded by angryparsnip.
This was my private bath, attached to our room.
The bath room was covered in wood, had a wonderful shower for washing
before the bath using the same fabulous water.
There were several windows that could be opened during the bath so I
could see the lush green valley
and have the cool sweet air surrounding me.
Pure Luxury ! My skin felt like silk.

Message for Helicopter Ben!
Listen up, Ben, I have a solution or policy option for you to consider!
You have stated many times in your testimonies to Congress that you fear Deflation and that you desire Asset Inflation (at least to a degree that will pump up asset prices from existing levels). Would you like to implement a policy that would accomplish this objective? I have the solution. Contact the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and request that they PRINT UP notes (mostly $20's , $50's, and $100) to the tune of (say) $16 trillion. That would be step #1. Step #2 would involve identifying a distribution program (say the top 200 American Cities) where you could drop these notes (full legal tender notes) on the population of each City. Think about this policy for a minute.
With some $16 trillion in paper notes (divided between the 200 largest American Cities) you could fly your helicopter over each City and drop these paper notes on the populace. What would this policy accomplish? First of all, you can bet that the recipients of these paper notes (we could call them Hunter/Gatherers) would pick-up every paper note and SPEND this money rapidly. What would this create? I would suggest that this policy would create an immediate and substantial STIMULUS for our economy leading to more employment and more spending. Retail sales would increase. Car purchases would increase. Travel and entertainment would increase. Home purchases would increase. All this would lead to an increase in employment and also some ASSET price increases (inflation). Give this idea some thought!

Couldn't saying just about anything to a mentally disturbed person set them off in a harmful way or be interpreted in a way that might be troublesome to them or others?
...Meditation has helped me so much, i consider it most important part of my practice
Quote from: Arkena on July 20, 2017, 11:08:25 pm...Meditation has helped me so much, i consider it most important part of my practiceGreat. Isn't it astonishing that many people today assign much importance to physical fitness but totally neglect mental fitness? Meditation can be a good mental fitness training. Of course it has only temporary effects. If you stop the training the fitness deteriorates.

February 06, 2015 08:15 ET
CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Feb. 6, 2015) - According to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation's (CMHC) first quarter 2015 Housing Market Outlook, Prairies Highlights, report released today, housing starts in the Prairie region are projected to decrease from 55,067in 2014 to 49,600 in 2015 and 48,000 in 2016.
"Lower oil prices will have a dampening effect on investment and economic growth, particularly in Alberta and to a lesser extent Saskatchewan. This will contribute to slower employment growth and net migration, in turn slowing housing demand. With key drivers less supportive of housing demand and supply levels elevated in some markets, housing starts in the Prairie region are expected to decline in 2015 and 2016," said Lai Sing Louie, CMHC's Regional Economist.
In Alberta, housing starts will decrease from 40,590 units in 2014 to 36,000 in 2015 and 34,500 in 2016. In Saskatchewan, housing starts will decline from 8,257 in 2014 to 7,300 in 2015 and 7,200 in 2016. In Manitoba, starts will remain close to 2014 production and remain relatively stable with 6,300 units in 2015 and 6,300 in 2016.
While the large number of migrants to the Prairie region over past years will support sales in the resale market, economic uncertainty created by declining oil prices will impact employment and temper demand. In Alberta, after increasing by over nine per cent to 71,773 in 2014, MLS® sales will decrease to 71,100 in 2015 before edging higher to 71,600 in 2016 as economic conditions improve. In Saskatchewan, MLS® sales are forecast to decrease from13,868 in 2014 to 13,600 sales in 2015 and remain near this level in 2016. MLS® sales in Manitoba are projected to edge higher from sales of 13,782 in 2014 to 14,000 in 2015 and 14,200 in 2016 as employment growth increases.
After leading the Prairie region with a 5.2 per cent price gain in 2014, Alberta will record more modest price growth moving forward. With rising listings and lower demand in 2015, price growth in Alberta will ease to below two per cent to an average of $407,100 in 2015 and $415,000 in 2016. In Saskatchewan, the average resale price rose by 3.3 per cent to $298,359 in 2014. As sales growth flattens, price growth in Saskatchewan will also ease to below two per cent lifting the average price to $302,500 in 2015 and $307,800 in 2016. In Manitoba, the average resale price rose 2.1 per cent in 2014 and is projected to rise by 2.3 per cent to $272,400 in 2015 and $278,800 in 2016 as sales trend higher.
Downside risks have increased since the previous forecast, due mainly to recent declines in oil prices. As a result, we have widened the forecast ranges for housing starts, MLS® sales and average MLS® prices to reflect these risks. In Alberta, where the risks associated with oil prices are most pronounced, housing starts are expected to range between 23,400 and 38,700 units in 2015 and between 20,300 units to 38,000 units in 2016. MLS® sales are expected to range between 58,000 and 74,800 units in 2015 and between 50,900 units to 76,200 units in 2016. The average MLS® price is forecast to be between $376,800 and $420,400 in 2015 and between $380,700 and $431,600 in 2016.

This past Saturday I went with my Singles Ward to a
BYU football game!!!
It was so much fun.
(me, Jennifer and Melissa)
I hadn't been to a football game in a few years.
It was so fun to be in the crowd
cheering and yelling and just being completely "in" the game.
(cheap seats = the very top corner of the field)
There were few awkward moments
that had nothing to do with the game itself
but in the seating arrangements
but that is a story for another day...
Oh and BYU pulled out a win
so that made it even better!

The weeble guard
I scoot between Waterloo and the West End via Whitehall in the early mornings and this gives me an opportunity to flick a wave at the guard standing at the entrance to Horseguard's. They start their shift early, just like me, but for the life of me I can't work out what they are guarding against at that time in the morning. Anyway, one of them has been sneaking a nod in my direction when he sees me and it's nice to be able to communicate, even if that's as much of a conversation as we can achieve.
This morning, my friend was nowhere to be seen and another young lad was standing at the gate. Well, he was mostly wobbling at the gate. He must have been out the night before because he looked in imminent danger of falling flat on his face. He kept startling himself into a rigid posture, only to relax again and drift towards weeble-land and an inevitable drop. I had the opportunity to watch him for a minute or so as I waited at the traffic lights but I continued my journey and didn't see what became of him. I don't know what the drill is if one of these guys falls. Do they get disciplined?
We weren't called for him so I'm guessing he sorted himself out in the end. Just as well because the horses come on duty later in the morning and they wouldn't have approved.
My morning started off with a call to a 38 year-old male, 'vomiting blood'. He claimed to have lost about two and half litres of the stuff and I was more than a little wary of his estimate. He was HIV positive and he told me he had never had trouble like this with his health before. It looked like trouble was catching up with him. His bathroom was spattered in blood and he had a recent history of passing tarry stools. Ominous though the signs were, he remained fully alert and was able to walk himself out to the ambulance when it arrived (he had initially walked out to greet me when I got on scene but I took him back into the house).
Then a 34 year-old pregnant woman who fell down stairs at a railway station, injuring her ankle. I had to reassure her that her baby was fine and that her ankle was a long way off her womb. When the crew arrived, the kind rail staff provided us with one of their electric buggies to convey her to the ambulance in. I hitched a free ride and watched my colleagues walk back. Well, I did offer.
I was cancelled on scene for my next call, to a 40 year-old male with lung cancer who was coughing up blood. A crew were already there and I would have been excess baggage.
A strange call to a 30 year-old woman after that. She worked in a posh(ish) hotel near Trafalgar Square and collapsed with a numb arm whilst going about her duties (cleaning rooms). She had no history of illness and hadn't taken anything (drink or drugs) recently. A Motorcycle Response Unit (MRU) colleague was on scene when I arrived and we cancelled the ambulance; I would take her to hospital in the car because she didn't seem to have any significant medical problems – just this numb arm.
When I got her to hospital, the nurse noticed that the affected arm was also slightly swollen. I hadn't seen this to be honest and I don't think the MRU medic had either. The swelling wasn't massively obvious but when it was pointed out, it became noticeable.
I went back to check on her later in the day and was told that she had been diagnosed with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
I wasn't required for the next call. The crew had already arrived and were dealing with a 20 year-old female who felt 'dizzy and sick' but I was required for the call after this one – a 19 year-old female who bumped her head and was emotional. I conveyed her myself because she really didn't need an ambulance. She travelled with her friend and work colleague and as we chatted I got to know how fragile she was.
She had fallen after going to the loo and bumped her head on the tiled floor of her workplace (a dental hospital). She had no serious injuries; not even a bump on her head, but she was shaken up and a bit teary-eyed. She insisted on being taken to hospital and I sensed that she probably needed the reassurance.
I discovered during the trip that she didn't drink, smoke or have any tattoos on her body (although quite how that detail got into the conversation I can't recall). I found this unusual. It's rare these days to find a female without a vice, or who hasn't marked themselves. Maybe she was a nun, I thought. Still, she was a pleasant young lady and she was delivered to hospital in a much better frame of mind than when I first saw her.
Later in the shift, I was sent up into the north (of London) for a call to an 80 year-old man who had fallen out of bed. I found him slumped on the floor with a couple of nasty looking cuts to his head. He had fallen hard and it looked like this wasn't the first time. His carers were on scene as well as a neighbour who had known him for decades. The neighbour was more concerned about his condition than the carers, I have to say.
The man had suffered a stroke before and was now unable to communicate properly. He'd shout 'No!' every now and again but that was the extent of it. He was also quite unable to fend for himself and couldn't get off the floor without assistance, so I propped him up a little and tried to get to the bottom of what had happened.
Apparently, he had pressed a button on the control panel of his specialised bed which lowered a guard rail at the side. Then he had simply fallen over the edge when he got too close, landing heavily on the wooden floor.
'Why is the button so near him?' I asked the carers.
They both shrugged their shoulders. I rarely get any clear information from home carers and I have no idea why.
'Don't you think it's unsafe for him to have any access to this panel?' I suggested.
Again, blank looks. I wondered if they spoke English at all.
We had no idea how long he had been on the floor. He could have lain there all night. His neighbour was not impressed by the level of care he was receiving and when I asked for his diary ( a document which records the day-to-day activities of the carers) nobody seemed to know what I was talking about. It was produced eventually, when the penny dropped.
The crew arrived and he was carefully lifted onto a chair and then out to the ambulance. His head injuries needed attention and as I walked back to the car I wondered how long it would be before we were called again to the same address.
Even during daylight hours, calls to sleeping drunks can be generated by frantic members of the general public. A call for a 30 year-old female who 'cannot be woken' on a park bench had me racing a long way out of my area to find a woman slumped across the seat, which was out on the pavement at the park entrance. I walked up to her, shook her twice and woke her up.
'Do you need an ambulance?' I shouted.
'Oi! F**k off!' she replied.
Did I tell you I have a degree in waking drunks up? I walked back to the car and completed my paperwork. Then I made my way back to my own patch and my own drunks.
A 52 year-old woman with a history of internal bleeding (although we were never told why) called us for chest pain. When I got there I realised she was very depressed. She still complained of chest pain but she had a lost look about her and the crew got very little out of her when they arrived to take her away. She made me feel a little depressed in fact.
My next call was for a 21 year-old female with abdominal pain. She was writhing on the floor in agony when I arrived. She had a history of ovarian cyst and it looked to me as if she was suffering at the hands of an old enemy. The ambulance didn't take long to arrive and she was quickly taken away. Pain relief was given but nothing seemed to be touching it. I felt sorry for her.
As the evening drew in I was called to a RTC in Camden where a moped had collided with a brand new Porche. Neither the moped rider nor the car driver were hurt but that expensive set of wheels (the Porche obviously) was badly damaged. Not because the moped had struck it but because the rider, a heavily built man, had been thrown onto the boonet before sliding off onto the road. His journey had left a major dent in the car as well as a long, deep scratch in the paint work.
With twenty minutes of my shift to go, Control sends me to a 25 year-old female who is unconscious in a tanning shop. The police were on scene for some reason and the staff were more than a little concerned about the woman's behaviour. She was conscious but looked stoned. She definitely looked as though she had taken something.
'Have you taken any drugs or medicines today?' I asked politely.
'No. I'm fine. Leave me alone', she said.
She was wobbly, disorientated and had slurred speech. I was concerned about her condition and she was adamantly refusing to go to hospital. Neither the police or myself could persuade her and her temper was beginning to fray but it spilled over when the maager of the salon explained to her that, because she had refused treatment, she could not be allowed to use the tanning machines again until an 'all-clear' had been given by a doctor.
I thought that was fair enough but the woman went ballistic and had to be told to calm down or else by the police.
After a twenty minute argument, she stormed out of the shop and I was left holding my bags in the air like a lemon.
I ended my shift by wandering back to my base station via Whitehall. I glanced across at the parade ground entrance. The guards were there but the horses were gone (they get taken away when the light fails) and the tourists were going back to their hotels. London was winding down and so was I. Time to go home.
Be safe.

I've been reading your blog for a long time but haven't posted a reply yet! I'm a shy nurse you see (is there such a thing? lol). Anyway, my daughter is with the Household Calvary (mounted) based in Knightsbridge (if you've been around at silly o'clock when they have been out on the horses at 4am for Trooping the Colour practice you may have seen her!) Anyway, guards CAN be disciplined for falling over on duty, or fainting etc. My daughter could even be disciplined for falling off her horse! I think they use thier judgement tho'. Keep up the good work, you write so well, it's a pure joy to read!

"It's rare these days to find a female without a vice, or who hasn't marked themselves." Is this really what you are finding in your job? If so, this is scary.
Also scary is what you said the other day about a hospital
refusing to treat further patients which was full of non-urgent
cases. It means many people don't want to help themselves
but want someone else to deal with it, and are prepared to clog
up busy A & E departments to do so. I sure hope the London
Ambulance Service and hospitals don't think we're all a bunch
of helpless wimps like that out there.

Thanks for the info. I do admire these men and women, as you can tell. If nothing else, they fly our flag and give millions of visitors something to write home about. Oh, and they are also soldiers!

Well, if you look around you'll find very few young women who don't drink, smoke or adorn their skin with art. I just found it refreshing. No slight on those females who choose to do one, or all of those things, of course.
Also, we don't think you are all wimps. The job makes cynics of us, I'm afraid. I try to be balanced about this but a weekend can skew my opinion. Of course there are plenty of sound-minded people out there who drink, become merry and go home. Unfortunately, like the non-drinking, non-smoking, non-tatooed women, they are becoming fewer and fewer.

That made me giggle, reading back on all of your older blogs gives me a complete colour of the drunks you deal with. it seems you're a true guru on the subject. I'm sure most paramedics are.

As said earlier, it is crucial to make a copy of the registry so that even if you screw up, you can still get your PC back to normal.
The steps to create a restore point are:
- Click on the vista start orb
- Type systempropertiesprotection and hit enter.
- If you are asked for an administrator password, type the password or click allow if your already working from your administrator account
- Then in the system properties dialog box, on the system protection tab, click Create.
- Type any name for your restore point and then click create.
- Then just click ok two times, once the restore point has been successfully created
Note that this procedure is for the Windows Vista Operating system.
Other things to bear in mind before you get to registry tweaking are that there is always more than one solution to a particular problem. If there is something bothering you about your computer and you think that making changes in the registry is the only way out … think again. Google your problem out. There might be another solution which does not include regedit. Also, always refer to a guide or a manual when editing the registry until and unless you are 100% sure that you know the exact procedure of making that particular change. Being over confident may ruin your or your friends computer. One other major point is to learn how to perform a remote registry edit using 'Connect Network Registry' so that you can rectify your mistake (incase you make one …) through another computer in the same network.
next post onwards we will learn some simple tweaks and hacks for the registry.

I feel it is only fair to provide an antidote to those still humming, singing, whistling or screeching 'Islands In The Stream'. So, pick a song you like, preferably one with a decent guitar riff, and hum that for a bit until it dethrones the offending ditty. (Of course this has its own, obvious, drawbacks).
May I suggest this - although you are of course free to select any tune you wish.
Finally, I would like to issue a full and frank apology for any distress I may have caused...
If I could turn back timeI'm sorry.
If I could find a way
I'd take back all those words that have hurt you
And you'd stay
If I could reach the stars
I'd give them all to you
Then you'd love me, love me
Like you used to do

Having experienced firsthand what happens when an elderly parent's robe ignites and catches fire, I came across notification of a wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of the estate of an 80-year-old woman who died after her robe caught fire while making tea in Connecticut. The lawsuit was filed against the company that sold the garment. According to the suit papers, a Pennsylvania-based company sold the imported chenille robes despite knowledge that they were highly flammable. Defendant Blair Corporation has recalled more than 300,000 garments since April because of fire hazards.
The U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission expanded a recall after nine women died of burns from defective Blair chenille robes, jackets and tops. Many of the products, which include items made in Pakistan, pose risk of fatal burns and do not meet the standards set under the Federal Flammable Fabrics Act.

|Paterno seen here signing the Mayflower Compact on November 11, 1620.
This also happens to be the first year he coached the Nittany Lions.
It was announced today that JoePa will still be aimlessly wandering the sidelines of Beaver Stadium next year. I would say coaching from the sidelines, but I think we'd all be in agreement if I said he probably doesn't do much of that any more. I'm not big on figureheads and the all out war with Bobby Bowden is over. Penn State hasn't been a really good team in about 20 years, but because Paterno has won so many games he gets a pass. Those Pennsylvanians are certainly far more tolerant of mediocrity than I am. Yes, I know he's won 401 games, but PSU hasn't been relevant in the national picture for many, many years.
Paterno will go down as the winningest coach in NCAA football history when he decides to hang it up. After you've coached for 44 years that should be a realisitic possibility anywhere you are. I really like the guy, but you have to know your limits. I've heard the only reason that he's still "coaching" is because it consumes his life and he wouldn't know what to do otherwise. I can see where he's coming from.

With incidents of crime in the Hinjewadi-Wakad areas continuing to rise,the Regional Transport Authority (RTA) is pressing for a radio cab service for Pune. RTA member Baba Shinde,who said he has been following the matter since 2010,added that it is time that the service is sanctioned for Pune.
The RTA has put forth the matter to the State Transport Authority (STA).
According to the RTA,the non-availability of prompt public transport has been the prime reason for rising incidents of theft and rape.
Introducing radio cab in the city will help address the problem,said RTA member Baba Shinde.
Incidents of crime,rape and theft have gone up significantly in Hinjewadi and Talawade. The establishments in these areas work 24X7 while a large number of people travel to these areas on a daily basis, he said.
Shinde said that owners of private cabs do offer their services in the Hinjewadi and Wakad areas,but keeping track of all private cabs is a tedious task. If the STA approves the radio cab service at reasonable rates,the nuisance of private cabs could be restricted,he added. He has stated that there are nearly 1,200 such cabs operating in the area.
Shinde said the RTA gave clearance to radio cab service in August 2009,after which the proposal was sent to the STA for further approval.
He said that three private companies have submitted proposals to start the radio cab service in the city with the cabs to be on call basis for 24 hours,adding that,With these services the commuters,therefore,will get assured service.

Lent is the period from Ash Wednesday to Holy Saturday.
While Easter celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ, Lent is a time of preparation for Holy Week. Holy Week recalls the events preceding and during the crucifixion.
The three traditional practices to be taken up with renewed vigor during Lent are prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.
Lent is a season of grief that necessarily ends with a great celebration of Easter, it is known as the season of "Bright Sadness". It is a season of sorrowful reflection which is punctuated by breaks in the fast on Sundays.
Interesting trivia: As the first day of Lent, it comes the day after Shrove Tuesday or Fat Tuesday, the last day of the Carnival season. The word "Carnival" is in fact derived from Latin carne vale: "farewell, meat" in reference to the fasting portion of Lent.
Many modern Protestants consider the observation of Lent to be a choice, rather than an obligation.
Prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.....what a beautiful focus! For an interesting article about prayer, you might enjoy Layhands.com. I'm a pentecostal trapped in a baptist woman's body, so this might not be for you. But I enjoyed it. For a beautiful perspective on almsgiving, may I direct you to Jennie C.'s and to Jen in MS? And for the fasting? Stick around. I'm giving up....sputter....gasp.....cough.......
You heard me. Now leave me alone.

Russian gay men internet dating scams
And a third is a glamorous 23-year-old who calls herself "Anna Safina".In an email to one British man, Anna wrote: "I wish I could be with you.
The clients of dating agency sites get messages like this regularly.
I want to meet you in the evening when you come from your work and kiss you tender, to hold you and to show you all my love." It sounded just too good to be true and, of course, it was.
In reality, "Anna" was part of a scam masterminded in Yoshkar-Ola, the scale of which was revealed last week to The Mail on Sunday by the FSB, the Russian secret service, after a series of raids.
And now it is not just a 'Boris The Blade' here and a Sergey there , "scamming" has become quite a large crime industry, where street-smart but not very ethical enterpreneurs rent office space, buy computers and supplies, and hire students with English skills to write and send scam letters. In all this one can even see some justice as if a weak one beats a strong one, a poor one wins over a rich one.
Scamming even has a more colorful and "patriotic" name duping the riches. Of course, one needs to lull the conscience scammers sleep badly, as is well-known.

Sounds like a plan to me. I wouldn't worry about Emma breaking up with you because of your antics. Erin has put up with mine for 7 years and we are still together. And you know how I am. See you in Cbus later this week.

Last Dispatch from the Central Time Zone
NavyGuy and I return home tomorrow. I know I'm ready to go back because for the past few days, I've been referring to our house in Anacortes as "home." Apparently, despite my reservations about my new life, home really is just where your heart is (or where you hang your hat... or where you've left your laptop for two weeks). I still am planning to recap some of the best moments of our holidays in Wisconsin, but in the meantime, here are the things I'm most excited to go home for...
1. Going back to Target to purchase all of the bridal shower gifts that were too large to take home on the airplane with us (my beautiful brown ottoman, ah, how I miss you so).
2. Having my laptop back. I miss blogging. I miss surfing. I miss reading celebrity gossip. I miss having constant access to the world.
3. Seeing my friend Brooklet, who I realized I actually missed while home for two weeks, which I take as a sign that I'm actually starting to find a bit of a life in Anacortes.
4. Sleeping in my bed.
5. Not living out of a suitcase.
6. Getting my butt back in gear on my grad school program.
7. Trying out recipes from several of the new cookbooks I received.
I'm sure I'll miss Wisconsin approximately twelve hours after I've gotten back to Washington, but for the time being, I'm going to click my heels together and repeat three times...
There's no place like home. There's no place like home. There's no place like home.

I'm pretty much of a news hog. I no longer get a daily paper on paper, but read several news daily on-line, and I peruse the cable news sources regularly (unlike most folks I actually watch news networks that have opposing political philosophies as well as those with which I agree), so I usually see most of the major news stories. Which is why I'm wondering why I missed the story about Johannes Mehserle shooting Oscar Grant in the back on a Bay Area Rapid Transit platform.
There were plenty of stories today, given the rioting and looting that broke out after the verdict — guilty of involuntary manslaughter — was rendered, although most of the ones found through Google are from papers in California and other western states.
I checked with a number of my other news hound friends — most who like me are far left. None of them had heard of the trial before today as well.
Why did this story only become newsworthy when black people started public violence? Why not more national attention after the crime itself, and during the trial? Could it be because a white law enforcement official shot a black young man?
I don't have enough information to make my own judgment on the judgement of the jury, I'm just struck the lack of attention to the story by national news outlets.

This is a post about DVDs you may not be familiar with. Hidden not well publicized DVD Treasures of the past Years. Today we have:
Burnt Offerings (1976)
This is truly a spooky horror shocker without gore, blood or foul language. Yes, something like that really exists. Nowadays it would be shot different, the family would be replaced by teenagers, but not back in the 70ties. Great story with a mind-blowing twist and spooky atmosphere. Perfect Halloween movie, and so much more. The DVD comes with an optional Audiocomentary by director Dan Kurtis and actress Karen Black. Very informative! A Trailer is also included.
Buy the DVD on amazon.com

Day 2
Slasher films have become a cult phenomenon having created its own sub culture within the horror genre. With such classic hits like Friday the 13th and Halloween in their roster how couldn't it? Scream revitalized the interest in slasher films in the 1990s and to this day Western horror has at times managed to obtain a strange fascination with it. I say strange because we haven't gotten many good slasher films in the 21st century. More often than not they are either good ideas with poor execution…or schlocky and cheaply made write-offs. Most Likely to Die had that type of write-off vibe to it that when I came across it I needed to add it to the roulette for this section. Of course Hostel, Eden Lake or The House of the Devil were in there as well, yet fate decided to deal me this hand. I quickly came to realize how wrong I was for including it.
Most Likely to Die follows a group of adults who are meeting up before their high school reunion. All of them were of course on the yearbook committee, despite most of them probably never would have talked as they seemed to be in entirely different social circles. Ah the case of happenstance! In the past they thought it would be a funny idea if they put in the yearbook, most likely to die for a social outcast. This of course wasn't enough and he was soon expelled due to the humiliation pushing him too far. Now someone is hunting them down with, and I kid you not, a razor sharp graduation cap and plans to recreate their captions in the yearbook to a T. This sounds like a recipe for disaster, and there is no sugar-coating it…this film is poorly made all around.
This cast of characters are so thinly made and spout so much exposition, that at times I wonder whether or not I am watching the most poorly written soap opera I have ever seen. This is only accentuated by some of the poor performances, and yes you didn't see that incorrectly. Perez Hilton is in this movie and to his credit…wasn't the worst actor there, just had very badly directed scenes. Some of his scenes are more shoved in like him talking to someone about his alcohol addiction and what it cost him. The scene felt more matter of fact than anything and wasn't actually that badly acted by him, the person opposite to him on the other hand barely reacted the entire time he was talking about it.
That is my problem with this film, its actors never really reacting in a way they should! Perez at the very least knows when to look terrified, and when to run yet most of the cast lack the ability to seem like they care at all about what is happening. Oh I'm supposed to be screaming? Oh I'm supposed to be woozy? There is probably a distinct lack of direction this film received especially regarding its talent as more often than not you will be rattling your brain as to how this horror film got greenlit.
This is essentially a whodunit style of horror, one that tries to keep the viewer guessing on the identity of its killer. The problem is the killer is far too obvious…especially when you see what they were voted "Most Likely" for. The film tries its hardest to mask it as various people, but does so very poorly as their way of making the viewer suspect some people makes them the least suspicious suspect of all. They introduce a character to be the creepy groundskeeper and they only really mention him once with conviction throughout the entirety of the film.
I have seen better put together whodunits before, and I have seen my fair share of bad ones but this one takes the cake. The exposition some characters spout make you think "why did you bring that up now of all times?" only for it to have little consequence to the film overall! Now the killer…the killer's lines themselves point them out far too much and you will easily deduce them after one particular scene. It's stupid how they try to telegraph some people, only to make the killer actually telegraph themselves far too often.
I usually give films like Urban Legend and My Soul to Take more of a pass on account of them at times being so bad it's funny. Most Likely to Die is insulting to both its viewer's intelligence and how they think any of these characters are worth sympathizing with. Each of them lack the ability to be sympathized with due to how poorly written they all are, all having a one dimensional personality with their defining trait being their title for the yearbook. While the acting for the most part isn't the worst element, it does at times infuriate when there is reacting involved in the scenario as more often than not it's just non-responsive. The film is essentially a by the numbers whodunit horror along the vein of Scream yet lacks the ability to subvert expectation. The killer is obvious and it's not even funny how predictable or hilariously bad some of the deaths are, they essentially tell you how each of them is going to die.
Let me give you an example of how bad some of these scenes are. One girl runs out of the killer's domain within the house only to be caught by a rope trap hidden under dirt that was far away from the house nearby a random shed. How did the killer honestly know she was going to step on that exact spot?! Even before that, how did the yearbook incident happen in any place? Didn't a teacher skim through the yearbook to find out that they had done this before it was distributed? There are simple breaks in logic that make even the premise extremely sketchy. It is a baffling film that does nothing with either its premise or characters in a correct fashion that calls for either dark wit or creating sympathetic characters to cheer for in this supposed "horror" film. Most Likely to Die is a by the numbers slasher film without creativity, creating one of the most bland and predictable slashers in a long while.
Rating: D-
Other Recommendations:
Scream (1995) – A whodunit done correctly that satirized and revitalized the slasher genre and horror films alike. This is easily one of the staple films within the genre and is exactly what Most Likely to Die was trying to copy. Why settle for the worst when you can watch the film that actually did it correctly?
You're Next (2011) – If you are a fan of pitch black comedies then You're Next is up your alley. Most Likely to Die felt more like a bad attempt at a slasher film, yet You're Next is exactly what the genre needed in the present day. While the extremely dry dark humour is not my cup of tea, many genre fans will be extremely satisfied with its entertaining and well shot twists and turns.
My judgement is harsh and swift! Well it just goes to show you, nothing is a sure thing to be just a fun ride. Hopefully this will be the only non-passing grade I give throughout the entire 12 days…but that may be asking too much. So have you seen this piece de resistance? Please put your thoughts down in the comments below and have a great day!

A few days ago the rear cassette was changed form the stock 11-32 SRAM PG-970 to an 11-34 SRAM PG-970. This may not seem like much but in gear ratios, it is quite a bit on the bottom end.
Remember that the last change was to replace the 30T chainring with the 24T chainring. That accounted for a 20% gear reduction. The change from 32T to 34T on the rear cassette represents another 6%. The end result is that PhattKatt now has a low end of 13.2 gear inches which is considered very low... low enough that most 2 wheel'd cycles would wobble and fall over. 3 wheels are great!
Wikipedia has a quick reference for what gear inches really means HERE
In short, gear inches shows what the virtual size of the wheel would be in terms of diameter. In PhattKatt's case, 13.2 gear inches means it is like pedaling a wheel with pedals attached to its axles and the wheel would be 13.2" in diameter. It also means that each full turn of the pedal at this ratio is 41.5" of forward motion [PI*D].
Here is PhattKatt's final gear inch chart:
Please note the crossed out ratio's. There is a limitation to the rear derailleur known as Chain Wrap Capacity as stated before. This particular rear derailleur has a chain wrap capacity of 45T [T=teeth]. This is typical for long cage derailleurs. In PhattKatt's case, we have now exceeded the chain wrap capacity by 6 teeth. To calculate this, note the difference between the cassette's smallest and largest gears and the chainrings smallest and largest gears. PhattKatt has a cassette of 11T to 34T, or a 23 tooth difference and the chainrings are 24T and 52T, or a 28 tooth difference. Add the two and you get 23+28=51 teeth... now subtract the 45T capacity and you get 6 teeth over the recommended capacity for the SRAM X-7 rear derailleur.
Take a look at what happens at the rear derailleur as we go through the gears:
[click on the image to go to the animation]
The other *mystery* to rear derailleurs appears to be chain length sizing. This is specifically important to recumbents because most recumbents allow you to adjust the placement of the pedals via the boom. Changing the boom will affect the chain length, and therefore also affects the rear derailleur significantly. Maybe the next part of this post will make it clear why this is so.
You know those fine print rice paper pages that are often included with your new bike bling? They have microscopic words on them and little caricatures that kinda look like bike stuffs... and sometimes you can recognize certain words that look like "WARNING"... "CAUTION"... and "DO NOT!"... but you are to excited to ever bother to find out what they mean? Well, this is one of those explanations.
When sizing the chain on a recumbent bike you MUST understand the ramifications of doing this wrong. Errors here could mean catastrophic failure up to and including serious injury. You don't have to take my word for it as many others have posted similar warnings which often go unheeded. You've now been warned again... so let it be said... Follow the manufacturer's instructions! ....and you can always find them online so you can enlarge the fine type to a legible level. Here we will discuss the SRAM Rear Derailleur instructions as they are applicable to PhattKatt.
SRAM states that when sizing the chain for the rear derailleur, you must size the chain by wrapping the chain around the large chainring and the large cassette gear and bypassing the rear derailleur. You want the chain to be taught when doing this. Now add 2 links to the chain. 2 links means 1"... one outer and one inner link. This will provide sufficient deflection for routing the chain through the rear derailleur and still have the full chain wrap capacity as your rear derailleur was rated for. Failure to follow these requirements, and allowing for a situation where the chain would be to short for the large/large gear combination can and will cause drive system failure which can have catastrophic effects up to and including injury! It is way to easy to brain-fart that bad combination and the drive system is all to happy to try to oblige your control command into this self destructive behaviours. Just don't do it!
Below is a picture of how the derailleur looks on PhattKatt in the 3 different chainrings while on the largest cassette gear:
In short, always make sure your chain is long enough! When adjusting the boom for a friend, resist the temptation to lengthen the boom unless you are willing to dial out the top [largest] chainring form the front derailleur. This is easy to do with the limit screw on the front derailleur.
Also note that I have exceeded the manufacturer's recommended Chain Wrap Capacity with the gearing I've chosen to accept on PhattKatt. Doing this means you have some understanding and control over the way your trike is being used. I would NEVER recommend anyone do such modifications without careful consideration and understanding the ramifications of doing so. I personally feel that on PhattKatt, this is an acceptable risk.
If lowering your gearing is needed on your trike, consider replacing your crankset to remain within the manufacturer's derailleur's chain wrap capacity. A simple solution to lowering your gearing for climbing is to purchase a crankset with 22T/34T/44T chainrings. This will provide the appropriate chain wrap capacity with your 11-34 cassette.
Until next time, keep the rubber side down.

Monae, Sudeikis, Rudd and Stonestreet among big names with ties to KC
If Kansas City took a giant class picture of all the celebrities who have hailed from here — including those who have passed on to the great movie studio in the sky — here are some of the faces you would see.
Front row: Ed Asner. Don Cheadle. Jean Harlow. Chris Cooper. Dianne Wiest. Charlie Parker. "Gone Girl" author Gillian Flynn. All born in Kansas City.
Second row: Rob Riggle. Walt Disney. Joan Crawford. Walter Cronkite. All spent their formative years in Kansas City.
Third row: Melissa Etheridge from nearby Leavenworth, Kan., Amelia Earhart from Atchison, Kan. Eminem from St. Joseph. Born close enough to KC to be claimed as locals.
Here are five more of our most high-profile homegrown stars:
Janelle Monae: The Grammy winner was born in the Quindaro neighborhood of Kansas City, Kansas, where she spent the early years of her life. She counts Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz" as one of her musical influences. Monae honed that beautiful voice singing in church, like many in her family. And though she left Kansas City to pursue her passion for performing, she has not forgotten where she came from, she says often in interviews.
Jason Sudeikis: Why do we see so many paparazzi pics of the actor and former "Saturday Night Live" star wearing a "KC" ballcap? Because even though he wasn't born here, Sudeikis grew up in Overland Park and loudly, proudly considers the Sunflower State home. He often wore University of Kansas gear on "SNL" and is spotted frequently at KU basketball games with his fiancee, actress Olivia Wilde. The couple recently welcomed a son, Otis.
Eric Stonestreet: The "Modern Family" star was born in Kansas City, Kan., where as a boy he dreamed of becoming a clown. The clown character he created named Fizbo has made three appearances on the ABC hit comedy series. Stonestreet graduated from Piper High and Kansas State University and, like Sudeikis, gives public shout-outs to his college alma mater and home state.
Kate Spade: The fashion and style icon was born in Kansas City, where she graduated from St. Teresa's Academy, an all-girl Catholic high school. She met her husband, Andy Spade, while working for Mademoiselle magazine in New York City, where she discovered the niche in the purse market that would become her calling card. She visits Kansas City several times a year, when all she wants to do is eat barbecue, she has said.
Paul Rudd: He was born a Jersey boy, but Rudd and his family moved to Overland Park when he was young because of his father's airline job at TWA. He was student body president at Shawnee Mission West high school and went to KU. He and Sudeikis and Rob Riggle, who also grew up in Overland Park, bring their star friends to town every summer for the Big Slick Celebrity Weekend to raise money for Children's Mercy Hospital. This year it's June 20.

Hamm tops the list in St. Louis, but don't forget John Goodman and Cedric the Entertainer
Jon Hamm.
Any discussion of stars who called St. Louis home could start and finish with the "Mad Men" leading man, who actually taught drama at his old St. Louis high school before hitting it big in Hollywood.
But why stop? St. Louisans are all over TV and movie screens, giving interviews in which they talk up their love of the Cardinals and fondness for local pizza.
From A (rapper Akon and poet Maya Angelou) to W (actress Shelley Winters and novelist Tennessee Williams), St. Louisans have distinguished themselves in the arts and entertainment.
Dozens of them are honored on the St. Louis Walk of Fame, which runs several blocks in the Delmar Loop. Look down and you'll see stars representing sports figures, politicians and activists as well as authors, actors and musicians: There's Nelly, and a few steps later, Stan Musial.
The list goes on. Kevin Kline, Tony winner Norbert Leo Butz, David Giuntoli of NBC's "Grimm", Linda Blair and Kate Capshaw.
Here's a closer look at five more.
John Goodman: Dan Conner on "Roseanne" and now a busy movie actor, Goodman was born and grew up in south St. Louis County and never quite left; he co-owns a St. Louis restaurant and visits family and friends here often.
Jenna Fischer: Before she was Pam on "The Office," Fischer was an actual office temp, but acting was her passion from the time she was 6, when her mother, a teacher, led an acting workshop at her school in west St. Louis County. On "The Office," Fischer found friendly hometown faces. Both Phyllis Smith (Phyllis) and Ellie Kemper (Erin) are St. Louis natives, and the three once competed in a gooey butter cake cook-off on set.
Andy Cohen: The Bravo host shows his love of St. Louis nightly on "Watch What Happens Live!" The Gateway Arch is always in the background, as are pieces of Cardinals memorabilia.
Cedric the Entertainer: He was Cedric Antonio Kyles when he graduated from Berkeley High School in north St. Louis County; the name change came after he gave up selling insurance and became a full-time comedian. Cedric, the latest host of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" (he announced his departure a few weeks ago) likes to get a haircut and shave at his old barber shop whenever he's in St. Louis. He has built some of those memories into his TV Land show "The Soul Man."
Scott Bakula: After skipping through time on "Quantum Leap," Bakula became the captain on "Star Trek: Enterprise" and came down to Earth in the critically acclaimed "Men of a Certain Age" on TNT. His parents and siblings are in St. Louis.

Yesterday was my follow-up RE appointment to go over my test results.
Drum roll please?
They found... nothing! Every single test they ran, my hormone levels came back exactly smack in the middle of the normal range. Which is of course great news that I am healthy, but it definitely doesn't make me any less frustrated. Actually, I think it is more frustrating, because at least if something was wrong we could actively work on fixing it. My RE did suggest I start Clomid next cycle, but I don't think I'm comfortable taking that step yet (and I know DH isn't).
While I was at my appointment, I also asked my RE about what the tech said about my ovaries being really far apart. He said this was not a problem, and that he has never had a patient where that was what was keeping her from getting pregnant. I asked if he thought a super-long journey through my tubes might be causing decreased egg quality, and if it might have contributed to our loss. He assured me that he did not believe this was an issue. He also said he didn't see any cysts or anything on my ovaries from the ultrasound, which is of course also great news.
So, the official diagnosis? Unexplained anovulation. It is frustrating, but I just keep telling myself that at least I am healthy and that we are doing everything we can do to have another baby. I think we're going to just keep trying and praying for a few more cycles, and then maybe re-evaluate the Clomid option. I really hope we get a BFP soon so we don't even have to consider it.

so behind in my posts! But I have to get caught up. The first pic is just a cute on of Tawny and Ethan watching a movie together.
Tawny did the dance competition again this year. She did a tap dance to "I Love You" and was adorable doing it. She took first place for her age group which is really great.

SIDMAN — Somerset boys and girls cross country teams finished their dual meet season Wednesday with victories over Forest Hills.
The girls won 21-40 with Sophie Kashurba (21:30) claiming second place to lead the Lady Eagles.
Longtime assistant coach Kathy Mitchell stated, "I have not seen a Somerset girls team as good as this one."
