* Having some bitch yell, "WATCH IT" at me as I bumped past her idiotically huge back pack on a packed subway train during rush hour. Seriously?! TAKE YOUR PACK OFF BIATCH AND THEN YOU WOULDN'T BE TAKING UP THE SPACE OF TWO AND A HALF PEOPLE.
* Anyone who has ever stood in front of an empty seat on a packed streetcar/subway/bus. IF YOU SIT DOWN, ONE MORE PERSON CAN GET ON!
* Standing under a semi-enclosed canopy on TTC property while waiting for a streetcar, and having three assholes light cigarettes, RIGHT UNDER A NO SMOKING SIGN! OBVIOUSLY YOU DOUCHES ARE UNABLE TO READ PICTURES!
* Having to write a letter to my building owner demanding he pay to repaint my car seeing as nobody has done or said anything about it in the four weeks since it first happened. LET ME SEE HOW YOU LIKE IT IF I THROW PAINT ON YOUR CAR!
* And this guy. If he wins the mayoral election, I'm moving to Arkansas. Because the red necks there have more class than he does.
I think I'm getting an ulcer.

We're Still Friends
Blondo and her hubby came with us. A bonafide double date! Mr. Blondo is a big Leafs fan as well. Blondo and I figured since we'll be hockey widows, at least we can suffer in our misery together.
I warned The Comedian that I am a Sabres girl and that my team was gonna KILL his team!!!
He was a very good sport about it all. Even when I did the Running Man for a victory dance after the Sabres' third and winning goal.
I'm glad we can love teams that are mortal enemies, and still be best friends. :D
Afterwards we ended up in Blondo's basement for drinks and cards. We turned a modified version of rummy into a drinking game. Our poison was shots of Amarula. The person who loses the round would have to take a shot.
Since The Comedian was driving, I was his drinking designate. And let me tell you, even with my expert help, he is tragically terrible at cards.
The funniest moment of the evening came from Blondo. She wanted to read us the label on the back of the Amarula bottle. She said she had discovered something about it the day before that she wanted to share with us.
She began reading about the mystical properties of the Marula tree, the fruit from which is used in the drink.
"It is a drink that is flavoured by elephants! Can you believe that? What do the elephants do to flavour the drink? I think they must pee on the trees!"
We laughed at the idea of the elephant pee seeping through the soil and into the roots of the tree and flavouring the fruit which ultimately ended up in the shots we'd been drinking.
The Comedian interjected with, "Maybe the elephants just favour the tree?"
All of us stopped and thought about that.
"Are you sure you're reading that label correctly?"
She grabbed the bottle and peered at the label. And then she looked up at us and turned a bright shade of red.
I grabbed the bottle from her and confirmed it. A drink FAVOURED by the elephants!!! Not FLAVOURED!!!
Mr. Blondo pointed out that she had been so convinced of this, she even posted it to her Facebook status the day before. I think we laughed for about 10 minutes straight.
I love my BFF (Blondest Friend Forever)!!! :D

Apparently I Hate Myself
And in the short four hours of sleep I did manage to get, it was filled with nightmares about my presentation being a complete disaster.
I woke up with a mammoth zit on the side of my chin. At least that took away some of the focus from the scabby mess that is my bottom lip.
On the bright side, my presentation got two thumbs up.
I'm *this* close to collapsing at my desk.
T-minus ten minutes until home time. I get to leave early today because 1) I didn't get my lunch break and 2) one of my managers is having an end of summer BBQ at his place for our department.
I will try very hard not to get completely bombed off one glass of wine. I still have a long drive ahead of me later to see The Comedian.

Cold Sores and Ring Worm
In honour of this, my lip busted out in a cold sore which has left me looking like someone punched me in the mouth. I can see everyone staring at it because it's just freaking huge and a bloody mess.
I also managed to convince myself that I had ringworm.
A few days ago I was sitting at my desk, working on my presentation and tearing out my hair because the phone would not stop ringing. As I was on a call, I noticed my left arm was super itchy.
I looked down and saw this (FYI, this is a Google image, and not my actual arm):
I recognized it immediately as I studied this in the many years of biology I took in university.
So of course I googled it just to make sure and yup, that is the classic clinical presentation of ringworm.
How on earth would I have contracted ringworm? Did I catch it from my cat? Did I catch it from The Comedian's dog? Did I eat too many mushrooms? How the hell was I gonna get this treated? I still haven't found the time to get to the lab for blood work that my doctor ordered three weeks ago.
The phone started ringing again, and again, and again. Then it was time for lunch which I just ended up eating at my desk because I had to keep working on my presentation.
I looked at my arm again and saw that my ringworm was gone.
I guess it was just an impression from my MedicAlert bracelet that usually ends up sticking to my arm, right around that same spot.
Yes, I know. I'm insane. But can you blame me?

My Rock
I'm happy to report he absolutely loved it!
Afterwards, we hit up a local pub for some dinner and drinks. I had the foresight to create a Facebook event and invited a bunch of my GTA peeps to come out and meet The Comedian. And I'm happy to report 10 of my friends showed up!
I joked that we should have set up an individual autograph and photo session for everyone who showed up. Because yes, my friends came out for him, and not me. Which is fine. I am happy to share the spotlight with the man I love.
We were all laughing, drinking and eating when all of a sudden, I couldn't breathe. My throat closed up and I was certain in that moment, I had reached the end of my life.
The room started to flip as I gasped for air. I went into panic mode. My heart started to thump really fast and I could feel adrenaline coursing through every vein in my body.
And suddenly my throat opened up. I'm sure the whole process took a matter of seconds, but it felt like minutes.
No one noticed anything was happening until I asked for some water. The Comedian took one look at me and I could see panic in his eyes.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm not sure. I couldn't breathe for a moment. And now I have a sharp pain in my throat."
I showed him where it felt like someone was sticking me with a knife.
"Do you want to go to the doctor?"
"I'm not sure. I don't know what's happening right now."
I drank more water and tried to calm down. My heart was still racing and my throat felt tight. The sharp stabbing pain was happening intermittently.
After a few minutes, the pain subsided, but my throat was still tight and I was feeling lightheaded.
"I think some blue cheese snuck into our nachos."
You see folks, blue cheese contains the same mold as penicillin. And I am deathly allergic to penicillin.
The Comedian wanted to throw me over his shoulder and run me to a hospital. I assured him that I wasn't getting any worse. The last thing I wanted to do was spend an evening in the ER waiting to be seen. I figured as long as I was still breathing, I would eventually get over whatever the hell I was reacting to.
For the next hour I was okay-ish.
And then the throat pain came back viciously. It was no longer intermittent, but constant.
At this point I had to cut the evening short. I apologized to my friends for having to leave. They all hugged me and wished me better.
The whole way home on the subway I was feeling like something had sucked my life force out of me. I even fell asleep at one point. My body was shutting down and I had no idea why.
Once we got back to my apartment, I immediately changed into my pajamas and crawled into bed. The Comedian stayed right by my side, asking if I needed anything, or if I wanted to go to the hospital.
"I'm staying tonight."
"You can't. You have to work tomorrow morning."
"I don't care. I'm not leaving you until I know you're fine. If something happened to you and I wasn't here to help you..."
I saw a tear slide out from his eye.
All together now - AWWWWWWW!!!
But really, wow. Seeing how worried he was about me made me feel like no matter what happened, I would be okay.
We snuggled and watched TV for the next couple of hours. I ended up feeling almost 100% back to normal. I assured him I was fine and that he should go before it got too late.
It was almost midnight by the time he left. I got a text from him around 1:30am saying he'd made it home safe and sound.
I still don't know what the hell happened. I hope it never happens again. But if it does, I know I will be fine, because I have him by my side.

$5000 Photo Shoot
I got to all the photos and was about to start tearing them to pieces when I decided I had spent way too much money on those pictures to just rip them up. In total, the wedding cost me about $5,000. Please note, I did say it cost ME, and not us, because I was the breadwinner in that marriage and had shelled out the cash (and plastic) for the whole shebang. (Man, my ex had a really sweet deal - a wife who never pressured him to hold a steady job, and never made him feel bad about it either. But I digress.)
And aside from the expense, I looked pretty damn hot in the photos. I loved my hair and my dress and I looked like I was glowing. As much as my marriage sucked and made me miserable, the one shining moment was the actual wedding day. I truly was having the happiest day of my life.
I decided to keep some of the pictures. I carefully tore him out of each one and kept my half. I also decided to keep the DVD of the ceremony, only because the Elvis who married us was really awesome and I got to sing with him at the end.
Here is the art piece I created in the shadow box that once held my bouquet.
I really like how it turned out! It has been placed inside my hutch, out of sight to the general public. Maybe one day when I'm famous, I will auction it off for charity. The opening bid will be set at $5,000. :)
The best part of all this happened just a few minutes ago when I took the garbage bag down to the dumpster.
I heaved it up and into the bin. There was an amazingly loud pop as the bag hit the bottom of the dumpster. I heard the champagne glasses and the mug shatter into what I can only imagine was a million pieces.
A fitting and final conclusion to Jan. 8, 2006. WHOO!

Which is why getting rid of that shit is a good thing.
I kept about 80 emails that pertain directly to our divorce and a few that are outright blackmail on his part. He still owes me $500 from the divorce, as per the court order. I'll never see that money, but at least I have proof that he acknowledged the debt and I tried several times to collect. The blackmail emails are a nice insurance policy should he ever try to pull anything in the future. Which, knowing how completely psychotic he can be, is entirely within the realm of possibility.
I also really need to go through my closets and drawers to make sure anything related to him gets thrown out. I still have quite a bit of stuff from our wedding, although I had torn up my wedding scrapbook into a million tiny pieces about a year ago. That was therapeutic to say the least.
The Comedian is coming up for the weekend for the first time, and I want to make sure he doesn't inadvertently come across anything to do with my ex.
I am so ready to start this new chapter of my life. I can finally see the light.

Metamorphosis II
It took 3 years, 1 month and 28 days but I've got a Relationship Status back up on my Facebook profile. It now says "In a Relationship with The Comedian".
And when it's on Facebook, it *must* be true! :)
It took a loooooong time to get here. There were many, many dark and lonely days. And there were many, many times I had truly believed I would be alone for the rest of my life.
But somehow, we found each other. It bends my brain thinking about all the choices which had to be made that would eventually lead us to the moment when we would finally meet.
I'm so happy this part of my life is finally set. Now I can get on to other things like becoming a rock star, developing a perfume line, starring in several reality TV series and total world domination.
I just hope I don't get hit by a falling piano anytime soon.

There were 27 Canadians who were lost in the events of 9/11 and the City of St. Catharines set up this memorial to honour them and those who had close ties to Canada. There were trees and benches dedicated to each of these people.
We sat on one of the benches and looked out across the lake. It was a picture perfect day. I reflected on how lucky I am to live in Canada, far removed from the atrocities that have occurred and continue to occur daily around the world. I counted my blessings - my job, my health, my family, my friends, and now The Comedian. I said a silent prayer for those souls who were taken 9 years ago.
Later that evening we visited my friend who owns a church in Welland which he has renovated into a bed & breakfast. This was the first time I had the chance to see the finished space. It was spectacular to say the least.
There were several friends in attendance whom I hadn't seen in at least 2 years. We sat around chatting and having a few drinks.
At one point, the conversation turned to the ever morbid topic of wills and funerals. What is it with my friends? This was supposed to be a FUN evening.
My brain shut down at that point. I was already in a sombre mood from the memorial walk and I had also found out that the mother of a former student of mine had passed away the day before.
I nudged The Comedian and indicated I wanted to leave.
We got home and got ready for bed. I was exhausted both physically and mentally from the day.
I reflected on the day, on the conversation and how short life really is. I decided I had to tell The Comedian how I felt about him. I didn't want another moment to go by without him knowing.
We had just got under the covers and all snuggled up against each other and he turned out the lights. I could still see his face from the moonlight coming in through the window.
I took his face in my hands, kissed his lips and said, "I love you."
He smiled and without hesitation said, "I love you baby."
I kissed him again and we drifted off to sleep. I don't remember dreaming that night. But I do know it was one of the soundest nights of sleep I've had in a long time.

My wallet and iPod were stolen out of my purse last night, some time between 5:00pm and 7:15pm.
I realized it was gone after having dinner with a former colleague of mine. We were at the subway station and I went into my purse to get my transit pass and my iPod. My iPod was gone. And as I was digging around in my purse looking for it, I realized my wallet was gone too!
I will say I'm lucky that I wasn't attacked for them. However, it still fucking sucks.
I had EVERYTHING in there except cash. Well, I had $10 AUD I've been carrying around since my trip last year, which I keep forgetting to exchange. And a cheque made out to me for $80. It had my driver's license, my red & white health card (For my American friends, losing a red & white health card sucks large, just ask anyone who lives in Ontario.), my health benefits card, my Starbucks card, my Chapters gift card, and all my reward cards like Air Miles, Aeroplan, Shoppers Optimum, SCENE, Hallmark, Carlton Cards....
I am so shocked this actually happened. I have lived in Toronto for over 10 years and I've never had anything like this happen to me. I have always considered my city to be a safe one. It's a little cold and unfriendly at times because apparently most of the people who live here are dickheads, however, I have never been afraid of getting anything stolen. Which is probably why I walk around with my purse unzipped. I'm in and out of it a lot so it's a pain to zip and unzip and zip again.
By the time I got home, the shock wore off a bit and I started to get really fucking mad. I felt so violated. I can only describe it as if someone had stolen my underwear off my body, sniffed it, licked it and masturbated into it.
I called my bank and my credit card company immediately. They were nice and kept apologizing this was happening to me. I told them it wasn't their fault, but I appreciated the sympathy.
The bastard used my credit card right away. Got $70 of gas at Canadian Tire. But the joke was on him when he tried to charge $1,400 at Future Shop and the card was declined. I was nearly maxed out due to a few large purchases, including 4 tickets to Rock of Ages for next week.
I then called The Comedian to let him know what happened. He immediately freaked out and wanted to drive up here to look for the bastard. So cute, but so futile! I did however, express some fear in that this jerk store now has my address. Which if he's pissed about my credit card being declined, maybe he would come and rob my apartment, or steal my car - he knows I have one because there was a copy of my car insurance policy in there too.
Yeah, don't ever tell your boyfriend something like that cuz he will freak out even more. He was all ready to construct a transporter and beam himself to my side. I told him it's unlikely that would happen because these kinds of thieves are snatch and spend, not diabolical geniuses (such as I).
I assured him I would be fine and then got on with calling the police and trying to figure out what I had that needed to be cancelled and replaced.
I was doing a mental check list of what I had and was registered online when I thought about my Starbucks card. I'd loaded it with $10 about 2 weeks ago when meeting up with Anne Shirley.
I logged in to see the balance and much to my surprise, it was at $3.04! I cannot believe that bastard actually stopped for coffee after stealing my wallet!!!!!! Like seriously?! He needed a coffee break from his difficult life of crime?!?!?!
I wanted to punch someone in the face with a brick at that moment.
I spent about an hour on the phone with a very nice police officer filing the report. I had to go through every single piece of everything that was in my wallet. Along with all my ID and reward cards, I had a silver crucifix in my wallet that my cousins had given to me in 2004 after having been in a car accident. I had to approximate the replacement value. I wanted to scream, "THERE ISN'T ENOUGH MONEY ON EARTH TO REPLACE THAT!!!" But I guessed $50 seeing as it was made out of real silver.
I asked him what I should do about driving without a license as I have a doctor's appointment scheduled for this morning.
He told me not to speed and if I did get pulled over, to give the cop his name and badge number and say he told me it was okay to drive.
Ha! I told him my speeding days were over from my ticket a few nights before. He asked me what I did and where it happened. After I told him the whole story with the crying fit and everything, he told me it was extremely nice of the officer to have lowered the ticket and said it wouldn't have any effect on my insurance. Good thing I decided to pay the ticket, inspite of the great opposition most of my friends had to the idea.
After I finished up with the cop, I packed my stuff quickly and headed out. I had told The Comedian I was going to text him when I left, but forgot to. I got stuck in some awful traffic around Burlington so I whipped out my Blackberry and saw two frantic texts from him wondering what the hell happened to me over the previous hour. He's so cute. :)
At any rate, I got in late last night and now I'm up early for my doctor's appointment. I have to get my doc's hand up my junk to make sure I'm still okay from that last weird pap I had last year.
So between getting the speeding ticket and my wallet stolen and paint all splashed over my entire car from the painters in parking garage along with a cracked windshield (Yes, that happened just after the wedding The Comedian and I attended. I didn't blog about it because I was still riding high from the wedding. And I had stomped around and yelled about it for a few days which got it all out of my system.), I've just about had it with this city.
Now I just have to figure out how to get the fuck out of here seeing as I have no ID and a car I really shouldn't be driving.
And I hope that thief gets a horribly itchy STD sometime in the near future.

My best option would be driving to the Burlington GO station and riding in from there. That comes with a $240 monthly price tag. I'd have to catch the 7:30am train to get into the Tdot by 8:30am. That leaves me enough time to catch the subway to the office - well, depending on whether or not the TTC is running normally at that moment. Seems that since I started my job in June, the TTC is broken more than not.
The prospect of doing this commute has really boggled my brain and it's starting to burn my skirt. If I were to do this every day, I would not be able to do anything after work, because I will have to catch my train at 6pm, to get home by 7:30pm. And then I'm sure I'll be tired and will only want to eat dinner and then go to bed. I won't be able to take dance lessons anymore. I won't be able to meet up with friends for a couple beers. I won't be able to go to the movies. I won't be able to do anything.
Yeah, as much as I want to be with The Comedian full time, I don't think I'm quite ready to give everything up just yet.
I am revising my plan to go down there on Thursday nights and come back up on Sunday nights. That way I can still take dance on Mondays and Wednesdays and oh you know, see my friends.
I hope this doesn't kill me - or him.

Speed Limits
On Sunday, The Comedian and I were over at Jelly's house for a BBQ that was held pretty much in his honour. I am certain my friends love my boyfriend more than me now. Jelly has never thrown a BBQ in my honour. But that's fine. I will ride his coattails of popularity and reap the benefits of food and drink!
We had to be inside for the day because it was bloody cold out! But Jelly's husband was a good sport and manned the BBQ while the rest of us, including Blondo, her hubby & kids, were inside drinking booze and laughing our heads off.
Blondo was getting drunk a lot quicker than the rest of us, which is always entertainment in itself. At one point, Jelly brought out a book she has from 1913 which was about sex education. (Don't ask me why, but whenever my girlfriends and I get together, we always talk about sex, babies and vaginas.) There were funny diagrams - one of the male anatomy minus the penis - and lots of virtuous advice on how to maintain one's morality.
It was amazing to spend the afternoon with my best friends, their husbands and children and my guy. That scene was exactly how I've always dreamed my boyfriend and my BFFs would be with each other.
On Monday, we went to a local parade with his mom, sister, brother-in-law and kids. Afterwards, we went over to his sister's for a BBQ, and again we stayed inside because of the cool weather.
His brother-in-law gave me the official tour of the house and then said, "Now that you know where everything is, you just go ahead and help yourself to whatever you'd like." He made sure to show me the location of the beer fridge. :)
We ate, we talked, we laughed, we played with the kids, and then I fell asleep on his shoulder while sitting on the couch watching the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon.
After waking up and thanking his sister for the hospitality, we went back to his place to watch the end of the telethon and for me to pack up and get ready to hit the road back to the Tdot.
I cried my eyes out watching Jerry Lewis perform the final song "You'll Never Walk Alone". He was so emotional he could barely choke out the words, which of course made me cry even harder. The Comedian had tears in his eyes as well.
To lighten the mood, we flipped on Comedy Central and they were running a Roast marathon. We were laughing so hard we cried (again)!
I guess all the crying is probably what pushed me over the edge when it came time to leave. It was 11pm and I was standing at the door hugging him goodbye and all of a sudden I started bawling.
We spent the better part of the next 2 hours discussing our options for spending more time together. Between the tears, we decided we want to move ahead faster than we originally planned. So it was decided that I would start researching commuting options from St. Catharines to Toronto.
Luckily there was no traffic so I managed to make really good time back to the city. I was flying along at around 130km/hr for most of my trip. I was also crying for most of my trip.
I got to the Allen Express, which is about 5km from my apartment, and I remember thinking to myself there's a speed trap at the southern end of the express way where the speed drops from 80km/hr to 60km/hr.
So I slowed down, but since I generally do 20km/hr over the limit when I drive, I dropped my speed from 100km/hr to 80km/hr. And two seconds later, I saw a cop walking into my path with his hand raised.
"I'm pulling you over for speeding. Give me your license. If your driving record is good, I will drop the fine."
He showed me the radar gun which read 83km/hr. I started crying and handed him my license. I pulled over into the parking lot where his and another cruiser were sitting.
As I waited for my punishment, I cried even more. This wouldn't be happening if The Comedian and I lived in the same city. This wouldn't be happening if I wasn't so tired while I was driving. This wouldn't be happening if I hadn't spent the better part of my drive home bawling my eyes out.
The cop came back with my license and yellow ticket in hand.
"Your driving record is clean. Now at 23km/hr over the limit, it would be a $120 fine and 3 points off your license. But I am dropping it to 1km/hr over the limit and a $17.50 fine with no points."
He handed me the ticket and my license and I cried harder and apologized profusely.
"It's okay. Have a good night. Drive safe."
And for your amusement, and much to my chagrin, here is my very first speeding ticket ever. :P

Festivals & events in Barcelona
By Sally Davies There are times, in Barcelona, when it can be hard to step out for coffee without bumping into a giant, tripping over a dwarf or sharing the pavement with a dragon.

1. Where Did You First Meet Your Husband?
At good old Romand Gardens:) We lived in the same apartment complex and I knew his friends in the apartment he was moving into. I think we were introduced in a parking lot! LOL
2. What Was The First Thing You Said To Your Husband?
"Hi, I'm mormishmom" - well, back then I was a mormishgirl:)
3. Where Was Your First Date?
I would say our first date was the BYU Homecoming dance at the Capital Building. We had been out to do lots of things as friends, but I would call that our first date.
4. Where Was Your First Kiss?
On the couch in the living room of my apartment. And my cutie roommate was in the bathroom getting ready for bed . . . hee, hee.
5. Did You Have A Long Or Short Engagement/Courtship?
WAY TOO LONG! LOL That is one of my biggest complaints about our courtship. We date 2 years and I was ready to get married like 6 months into the relationship:) We were engaged 6 weeks. I wasn't messing around any longer. Plus, I had over a year to plan. LOL
6. Where Did You Get Engaged?
In the parking lot of the Mt. Timp temple. It was a Monday night and the grounds were closed. We were going there to walk around, but we couldn't get in. We had gone to dinner at The Macaroni Grill (I think that was the last time we ate there) and then we went to the temple. He gave me a hymnal that was engraved with my name, but instead of my last name, his last name was there. And then the engagement ring was tied to the page marker. He had roses in the trunk. Fun!
7. Where Were You Married?
In the Salt Lake Temple at 6:15 in the blessed morning!
8. Where Did You Go On Your Honeymoon?
We spent our wedding night at the Somwhere Inn Time, a night in Las Vegas, a few nights in good old Westminster and a few nights in San Diego.
9. Where Was Your First Place Together?
Good old Wyview!
10. How Long Have You Been Married? 6 years
Ok now it's your turn.... tag: Melanie, Jenn S., Karen, Keek

Wednesday, 27 August 2014
I had a completely different topic planned for this evening, something positive where I was going to praise a game that I've been playing recently but then THIS shit fucking happened and I've swung right back into being an angry shithead on the internet.
Google the term "Pokken" and word going round is that this title has been officially announced. Now just read that stupid fucking title, "Pokken", you guessed what it is yet?
I have never heard anything so bullshit in my entire life. Is there nothing sacred in this fucking industry. Is there nothing I can enjoy so much without it turning into complete shit and betrayal?!
Now why am I so angry? Well Tekken is a great game and Pokemon is a shit game. Tekken is a game made for people who enjoy competitive fighters and Pokemon is designed for people with brain damage. All the depth that can be found in Tekken is going to be stripped out and the game dumbed down so that the title can cater to Pokemon's target audience.
So you might come back at me and say "well if you don't like Pokemon just ignore it and don't play it, it's not like it ruins Tekken as a whole or anything". Well you may be right there but this game is getting a release in fucking ARCADES so I have every right to be pissed off. All the space being clogged up by this fucking disgrace of a game is space that could be used for something that doesn't suck...or a vending machine. Hell, I'd even take a giant 6 foot deep hole in the floor filled with shit than cabinets for this game.
First they come along and piss all over Nobunaga's Ambition with "Pokemon Conquest" which was a total failure as a monster breeding game and a total failure as a historical strategy game. Not content with shitting over RPGs, Strategy, Dungeon Crawls and other genres they have now turned to fighting games to try and milk this crappy series for more Yen and Dollars.

I've recently acquired the unit history of the 902nd Engineer AF Hq Co, Reproduction Platoon. It is titled: 902 in the ETO. This platoon was responsible for all map, photo and document reproduction for the IX Engineer Command HQ. The history is full of photos and color maps. It includes a unit roster at that time of VJ Day. I'll add it to the list of projects to scan and post on the site.

During this time of giving thanks comes a time of reflection as well. I would like to thank everyone for their support in my campaign. It was my pleasure to meet the great people of District 5.
During this time of reflection, I have decided to endorse Ashley Vanorny — our current leadership has been too complacent for too long.
Most of her visions, expectations and goals are aligned with mine. I am confident she is the right choice, will bring a fresh perspective, will be accountable and, most important, will be engaged.
I have seen current leadership miss important votes, such as the fireworks decision. I believe someone like her would not walk out on a vote as important as this was.
She and I discussed the needs of District 5 and strategies to improve our district. I will continue to serve in any capacity I can. So, please do your part. Go out and show your support for Vanorny on Tuesday. We cannot afford four more years of complacent leadership.

New course supports aspiring students into university
Press release issued: 1 July 2014
The first ever cohort of students to complete the University of Bristol's innovative Foundation Year in Arts and Humanities celebrated yesterday [30 June] with Pro Vice-Chancellor Professor Judith Squires at an informal ceremony at Cotham House.
The programme makes higher education a possibility for people who believed that their lack of qualifications closed down access to university level study or for those who thought that they had left it 'too late'.
The course is open to anyone who is passionate about returning to education. This year's graduating students span five decades – the youngest student is just 18 years-old and the oldest is 71. The 25 students are an ethnically diverse group, drawn mainly from the local area, with an equal gender mix.
Sean Doyle, one of those successfully completing the course this year, said: "If you drew a Venn diagram of us all there wouldn't be any overlaps, this is what makes our discussions so fascinating."
The year-long course is a stepping stone to degree level with unique entry requirements that focus on the student's potential, rather than asking for specific 'A' Levels.
Tom Sperlinger, one of the course directors, said: 'It's a great pleasure to congratulate the first group of Foundation Year students on completing the course, and on all they have achieved individually and collectively. These students have been pioneers and we hope their success will inspire others who would like to return to study.'
Throughout the one year introductory course students gain knowledge across a range of Arts and Humanities subjects, with the goal of embarking on one of the University's undergraduate degrees on completion of the course.
Those graduating from the programme will have taken a significantly different path from the vast majority of university students, who enter higher education straight from school.

United States District Court, E.D. Missouri, Eastern Division
January 18, 2017
ANIKA TAYLOR, next friend of D.T., Plaintiff,v.CAROLYN W. COLVIN, Acting Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant.
Taylor brings this action on behalf of her minor son, D.T.,
seeking judicial review of an adverse ruling by the Social
Security Administration. Defendant moves to dismiss the
complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction because
plaintiff did not exhaust administrative remedies. Plaintiff
has not filed a response in opposition and the time allowed
for doing so has expired.
D.T. was found disabled beginning October 1, 2005, based on
an application for supplemental security income pursuant to
Title XVI, 42 U.S.C. §§ 1381 et seq. Christina
Prelle Declaration ¶3(a) [Doc. # 13-1]. On April
14, 2015, the Social Security Administration sent plaintiff a
"Notice of Disability Cessation, " informing him
that, after a review of recent medical records, it had been
determined that he was no longer disabled and would receive
his final benefit payment in June 2015. Ex. 2 [Doc. # 13-2].
Plaintiff timely filed a request for reconsideration.
Prelle Decl. ¶3(b). On August 7, 2015,
plaintiff was notified that his request for reconsideration
was denied. Ex. 3 [Doc. # 13-3]. The notice stated that if
plaintiff disagreed with the decision he was required to make
a written request for a hearing before an administrative law
judge (ALJ) within 60 days of receiving the notice.
Id. He was also informed that he "must have a
good reason [for waiting] more than 60 days to ask for a
hearing." Id.
October 30, 2015, plaintiff filed an untimely request for
hearing. See Doc. # 13-4. On December 24, 2015, the
ALJ dismissed the request. Order of Dismissal [Doc.
# 13-5]. According to the ALJ, plaintiff's mother
explained that she missed the deadline to file because she
never received the August 7, 2015 notice that reconsideration
had been denied.[1] The ALJ rejected the explanation, noting
that plaintiff's mother had "received
correspondence from the District office and Disability
Determination Services without any problems since she filed
the claim on behalf of" her son. Furthermore, none of
the correspondence mailed to plaintiff was returned as
undeliverable. The ALJ concluded that there was no persuasive
evidence that plaintiff did not receive the August 7, 2015
notice and found that plaintiff failed to establish good
cause for missing the deadline to request a hearing. The ALJ
dismissed the request for hearing, leaving in effect the
August 7, 2015 denial of reconsideration. Id.
Plaintiff requested review from the Appeals Council, which
denied the request on August 6, 2016. [Doc. # 13-6].
Plaintiff filed this action on September 27, 2016.
argues that the case must be dismissed because plaintiff did
not exhaust his administrative remedies when he failed to
timely request a hearing before the ALJ and has not
established any basis for a waiver of the exhaustion
federal district court's jurisdiction to review the
Commissioner's decisions regarding disability benefits is
governed by 42 U.S.C. § 405(g), which provides review
only of a "final decision of the Commissioner of Social
Security made after a hearing." 42 U.S.C. §
405(g). "Under the statutory scheme . . ., the presence
of a final decision is not only essential to determine when
judicial intervention is proper but also to determine whether
it is possible." Sheehan v. Sec'y of Health,
Ed. & Welfare, 593 F.2d 323, 325 (8th Cir. 1979).
The meaning of the term "final decision"
"is left to the [Commissioner] to flesh out by
regulation." Weinberger v. Salfi, 422 U.S.
749, 766 (1975).
Commissioner has defined "final decision" as the
completion of a four-step administrative review process. 20
C.F.R. § 416.1400(a)(5) ("When you have completed
the steps of the administrative review process . . ., we will
have made our final decision.) The four steps are (1) the
initial determination "about . . . eligibility or . . .
continuing eligibility for benefits or about any other matter
. . . that gives you a right to further review;" (2)
reconsideration of an initial determination; (3) hearing
before an administrative law judge; and (4) review by the
Appeals Council review. § 416.1400(a)(1)-(4). Only upon
completion of this process can a dissatisfied claimant seek
review by a federal court. § 416.1400(a)(5). The
regulations specify that the claimant must request the next
level of administrative review within 60 days of receiving
notice of the denial of relief. See § 416.1409
(written request for reconsideration); § 416.1433
(request for hearing by ALJ); § 416.1468(a) (request for
review by Appeals Council). A claimant who fails to file a
request for hearing before an ALJ on time may make a written
request for an extension of time. § 416.1433(c). The
request "must give the reasons why the request for a
hearing was not filed within the stated time period. . . . If
you show that you had good cause for missing the deadline,
the time period will be extended." Under the
regulations, a decision to deny a claimant's request for
more time for seeking review is not "an initial
determination" and thus is excluded from the
administrative review process and not subject to judicial
review. § 416.1403(8); see also § 416.1402
(defining "initial determinations" as those
determinations "that are subject to administrative and
judicial review").
plaintiff's request for a hearing was denied as untimely,
plaintiff did not exhaust his administrative remedies and
there is no final decision subject to review by this Court.
See Records v. Astrue, , No. CIV.A. 09-5224, 2010 WL
749559, at *4 (W.D. Ark. Mar. 3, 2010) (ALJ's dismissal
of plaintiff's hearing request is not a "final
decision" subject to judicial review); Wild v.
Astrue, No. CIV.07-1372(JNE/JSM), 2008 WL 698483, at *3
(D. Minn. Mar. 13, 2008) (because ALJ dismissed
plaintiff's untimely request for a hearing, "[n]ot
only was there no hearing, " there was no final
decision meriting judicial review under 405(g)); see also
Cotton v. Colvin, No. 4:13CV2412 TCM, 2014 WL 2480372,
at *3 (E.D. Mo. June 3, 2014) (decision by Appeals Council to
deny request for review of a decision dismissing a request
for a hearing is not subject to judicial review)
(emphasis in original).
a failure to exhaust administrative remedies, judicial review
is available where the claimant raises constitutional
questions. Lively v. Bowen, 827 F.2d 268, 269 (8th
Cir. 1987) (citing Mathews v. Eldridge, 424 U.S. 319
(1976)). Here, plaintiff is seeking an additional opportunity
to establish that he satisfies the Social Security Act's
eligibility standards for disability benefits. He has not
asserted any constitutional questions. See Cotton,
2014 WL 2480372, at *4 (finding "no constitutional
claim alleged in the instant case. Rather, the evidence
before the Court establishes that a request for a hearing was
simply made too late."); Lyons v. Astrue, No.
2:12CV 1 LMB, 2013 WL 64648, at *3 (E.D. Mo. Jan. 4, 2013)
(holding that there was no subject matter jurisdiction where
plaintiff failed to file timely request for hearing and did
not raise constitutional claims); Records, 2010 WL
749559, at *4 (finding no constitutional question presented
in request for judicial review after ALJ denied untimely
hearing request). Accordingly, the Court finds that it does
not have subject matter jurisdiction over this matter.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that defendant's motion to dismiss
plaintiff's complaint for lack of subject matter
jurisdiction [Doc. # 13] is granted.

Morning Skate: Sharp returns, Lehtonen in goal vs. Tampa Bayby Mark Stepneski / Dallas Stars
Forward Patrick Sharp will return to the lineup tonight when the Dallas Stars take on the Tampa Bay Lightning at American Airlines Center.
Sharp has missed the past six games with a lower-body injury.
"Patrick is in tonight. He said he is ready to go," said Stars coach Lindy Ruff. "We'll get him in tonight and see where he is at."
The Stars didn't run line rushes this morning, so it's not clear where Sharp will slot in as far as the forward lines. He did skate on the second power play unit.
"I feel good. I feel great," Sharp said. "I'm just going to play my normal game, get involved as much as I can, hang onto the puck, shoot it, get to the net and feel my way through the game that way."
Injured defenseman John Klingberg (lower body) and Jordie Benn (lower body) both skated this morning, but will not play.
"I think they are really close. Really close," Ruff said. "I was hoping for Klingberg to play tonight but it's not quite there."
With Klingberg and Benn still out, the Stars will go with the same six defensemen as last game.
Kari Lehtonen was the first goaltender off the ice this morning, so he is expected to get the start in goal tonight. This will be Lehtonen's sixth start in the past seven games.
Colton Sceviour will be back in the lineup tonight after sitting out the past three games as a healthy scratch. Brett Ritchie and Travis Moen skated late, so they appear to be the healthy scratches at forward.
The Stars are coming off an ugly 5-2 loss to Los Angeles on Tuesday. Ruff said his talk with the team this morning was about getting back to a strong defensive game.
"My meeting this morning was about where we wanted to start the year and that was improved play away from the puck. I said I want to finish the year the same way," Ruff said. "We'll go back to square one and I want us back above and I don't want us waiting on the wrong side of the puck. I want the other team to have to go through us. If there are some situations in the game that call for us taking some risks and gamble, I will let you know when.
"This is the time of the year that players are looking for goals and assists and that leads to not good enough play. We had that meeting and I think it is an important part of our game. When our passion for defending is there, we can be as good as anybody in this league and we can be the best."
Ben Bishop will get the start in goal tonight for Tampa Bay. He is 29-18-4 with a 2.02 goals-against average and .928 save percentage. Forward Cedric Paquette (lower body) will be a game-time decision. Tampa Bay comes into tonight's game with four losses in the past five games (1-3-1), including a 4-1 loss at Toronto on Tuesday.

Thanked: Once
An i10 of joy!
Hello Folks!
Have been driving around in a Oyster Grey i10 Asta (without sunroof) for the past 5 months - had upgraded from an Imperial Red Santro LS purchased in 2000. Had mentioned about the reasons for my choice and the "elimination of competition" in my post in the Introduce Yourself forum. And I keep finding my observations tallying well with Team-BHP reports.
The i10 is an absolute pleasure to drive, both in the city and the highways (though I have not really done that much on them yet). Am planning on a 2000 km drive during the Christmas - New Year week. Queries on that will come in a separate post!
Anyway, here is my report on the i10:
What I love
Handling & maneouverability - great on narrow/busy roads
Powerful Pick-up - quick getaway when there is a bus roaring behind you!
Smooth sailing at reasonably high speeds - the car simply "purrs" at 90 kmph on a reasonably good road.
AC - an absolute chiller even in a city like Chennai where one has to use it all round the year!
Feel of the EPS and the steering wheel itself
What I like
Stable feel of the car at speeds as high as 120 Kmph
Soothing display console - easy to readwithout any eye strain
Music system - great sound
Good mileage - already getting 12-13 kmpl in the city (after 4K kms)
The heavy "thunk" with which the doors close
What I would have like to have in addition
Dead pedal to rest the left foot (a surprising omission from the Santro)
Height adjustable seats
Play & pause button in the music system (a surprising omission - also noticed the same in other cars like the Honda Jazz) as well as a remote control
Automatic door locking as soon as the engine is started (as in the standard autocop remote locking systems) or once the car starts moving (lock engages once the car reaches about 20 kmph)
What I dislike
Reflections in the windshield from the dashboard, especially while driving on a bright day on streets which have tree cover
Slightly bigger blind spots when compared to a Santro
What I really dislike
The manual - leaves a lot to be desired. HYundai has tried to come up with a single manual for all the i10 variants and this is a bad idea. It is absolutely confusing. For almost every feature and description there is a disclaimer saying "if fitted". There is no tabulation anywhere of what is and what is not fitted in the different models! There are four different music system descriptions and it takes some effort to figure out which one is actually there in the car. A personalisation of the manual with respect to the particular model should have been done!
Some niggling issues
Ignition key reminder - manual, reference quide, comparative tables of features all state that there is a key reminder system in the Asta and that a buzzer alarm is supposed to sound when the key is in the ignition in the off position and the doors are open. This does not happen. Have checked this with 2 other Asta owners. Hyundai service, nice & courteous as the staff were, was of no help in this regard. As soon as I complained, an autocop person landed at my door, but had to be sent back because the security was not the third party one, but factory fitted from Hyundai! They have still not been able to explain to me if a buzzer alarm is supposed to sound. (This feature is there in many other cars, for instance, the Honda Jazz.)
RVM vibrations - At certain speeds, particularly lower speeds on higher gears (like 30 kmph on 4th or 5th gear) the inside rear view mirror vibrates. Found it to be so in several other i10s. Again the Hyundai service could not sort this problem.
Dont know how many of you all have similar experiences/opinions and comments. Does any one know about the Ignition Key Reminder issue? And, of course, I could do without the RVM vibrations. Any suggestions?

The explanation given was as follows:There is no audible warning, however when the key is inside the key barrel on the steering coloumn, you will not be able to lock the door using the inside button & close the door from outside, thus preventing the car being locked and the key remaining inside. Hope I have been able to explain it to you correctly. I think you have to try it out to understand. So the reminder is actually not a beep sound!

Reflections in the windshield from the dashboard, especially while driving on a bright day on streets which have tree cover
Slightly bigger blind spots when compared to a Santro
This is something everyone complains about. The beige interiors are a problem when driving on a bright day with tree shades.
The manual - leaves a lot to be desired. HYundai has tried to come up with a single manual for all the i10 variants and this is a bad idea.
Not sure if someone has pointed about this earlier. Nor my friends who own an i10. Nice information for others. Probably it does not matter to someone who does not read the manual in detail.

Yes, I do feel like a criminal not having shared any pics. The first set were enormous-sized pics taken in tiff formats (had the plan of making a large poster with it!). Will do so shortly after taking a fresh set. Sorry, Folks!
Bimi - you are perfectly right in that once the key is in the ignition barrel, you cannot lock the door with the inside button when the driver side door is open. I had found this quite by coincidence and confirmed it with Hyundai. I dont know if this works with with any of the other doors - will check this out. Get the feeling that the passenger side door lock will behave the same way (since it has the central locking facility), but not with the rear doors.
As regards my experience with HMP Chennai (the dealer), it was great. They were courteous, helpful and,in a manner of speaking, lured me into this purchase from them (both KUN and DSC Hyundai are closer to my place, but I still chose HMP). The sales representative was smart, very professional and made sure that I did not have to wait at any stage, whether to answer a query or to take a test drive. I would give them a 5 star rating!
The very first incident with the car is quite fresh in my memory and it made me feel then and there that my choice was justified. After the PDI, the ceremony and photo session (HMP took a photo of me & my family with the car, printed it out and put it into a display with a clock and a quote 'Welcome to the Hyundai Family!"), it was our turn to drive out with the car. We started the engine, switched on the AC and spent a little time looking at/admiring all the features. And we could see the HMP representative frantically trying to gesture and say something. She tapped on the window and when we rolled it down, she said, "You can go ahead and start the car now!" We were quite puzzled and were almost thinking of giving the ignition another crank, when we realised that the engine was actually running all the time. The rep realised it too and she recovered by saying,"I told you, Sir, that this is a silent car!" I dont ever remember being so pleased with what I bought at the very time of taking delivery. The best possible first impression!

Hi ssbiitm
Congratulations !
I also owned an i10 Asta ( without sunroof ) during December 09. Very happy with the vehicle, except the mileage. I am getting only 10 kmpl in City and 15 kmpl on highway.
Well, I have another problem with my car.
The seat belt warning sign disapprears after a few seconds of switching on the engine, even if you dont wear the seat belt. As per the product manual the seat belt sign should disappear only after wearing the seat belt. I also obeserved that, the sign appears and disappears when you unfasten your seatbelt, while the engine is on. I raised thie issue with Service Centre during the first service. They say, it works like this in i10 Asta and nothing is faulty.
I would be grateful, if you check this in your car and tell me how it works..

Martin Andelman on HAMP 2
HAMP 2 is HERE Some say it's the best HAMP yet, and they're probably right about that. by Martin Andelman This past year has been transformational as far as the foreclosure crisis was concerned, although we weren't sure what was being transformed much of the time, and we are only now going to start seeing the changes that have been underway but out of sight. For one thing, while the DOJ settlement will mean something positive for some, it will also mean that foreclosures will increase across the board this year, and next… and the year after that. This next year isn't gong to be "fair," and it isn't going to end with the Calvary coming to the rescue. The fact is that we are going to lose more homes to foreclosure in the next three years...Read More

Another last hand of the night- box already checked to sit out the next hand (where I move into the big blind). I've had a rough night, down a buy-in. Playing well, but getting outflopped. I'm almost disappointed to see pocket kings here, I'm ready to just take my lumps call it a night.

Greece Really Does Matter, Larry
Despite Larry Kudlow of CNBS being tired of hearing about Greece, he should listen up. This is serious stuff for all of us - and his own country's debt-to-GDP ratio isn't too far behind the Euro basket-cases. The most succinct explanation I've heard is that of A. J. Bernal, which I shall take the liberty to now paraphrase. The issue is not losses to bondholders of Greek debt, but the likelihood that the investors who sold insurance on Greek debt to the market (ie. credit default swaps on those Greek bonds) probably immunized their long exposure to Greece with negative bets in other southern European economies. If default takes place and the CDS's become operational then investors will force the cost of protection of other European countries into prohibitive territory as they are forced to further increase these short positions. That increase will also dramatically increase the CDS spread in European banks, forcing them to take major accounting losses. The German finance minister is right, Greece is very much the same as Lehman Brothers - just 10 times more dangerous. Bernal argues that the moral hazard of bailing out Greece is minimal compared to the havoc a default would create. The Balf just wonders when Wall Street will take responsibility for this global mess.

Scissor Linkages
Movement with a Scissor Linkage
The easiest motion to create with the Hummingbird kit is rotation. The gear motors rotate, and the servo motors move in arcs. As students become more experienced, they often want to create other types of motion as well. Linkages can be used to create many different types of motion using the gear and servo motors. For example, students can be challenged to use a linkage to move an object back and forth.

This is a post of somewhat controlled rage!
After spending the better part of the last 3 days enjoying what turntable had to offer, I woke up today to find myself, along with everyone else outside of United States of America, barred to use the site.
On the front page, we can read the already familiar lame excuse that licensing problems and that they are working to fix it. That is absolutely insulting, and the plain truth would be at least that, truth.
The truth is that they preferred to drop the rest of the world because we are meaningless to them in terms of business plan. We, 2nd rate citizens of the Internet, don't have any interest to them, so, instead of fighting to keep the service international, they preferred to apply artificial geographic barriers on on line access. Doing that, they can make better "licensing" deals with whomever is pushing them, and, can easily develop their business model considering ONLY their fellow Americans.
The whole reason for the existence of turntable was the socialization of music experience, apparently, they prefer to only socialize with bearers of green cards, we, the 2nd rate users that don't qualify for entrance on that exclusive club, can go back to whatever we were doing and stop downgrading the quality of the "social club".
They could have taken a lot of different routes, including the closing of the whole service, if they were true to "Social Music Experience", the fact that they preferred to establish frontiers, means ONLY that Social is the last thing on their minds.
I entered turntable using my Facebook authentication, I already removed the access to my data, but, that doesn't delete it from their database, unfortunately. I removed all tweets and Facebook posts about them, and apologized to all the friends that I had recommended their service. There's little else that I can do.
This move, adding to the insult already perpetrated by Hulu, NetFlix and Pandora, and a lot of other websites and videos with geographical limitations, erodes any confidence that we 2nd raters may have in the future in other proposals by American start-ups, because we'll always be on the lookout for this kind of restrictions.
So, now, who's next? Facebook? Google? Can we ever again trust any American company? Should we?
Should I start a website today, or in the near future, I would make it unaccessible to any US IP. For no other reason then to make them taste a bit of what we do, daily, with videos published on Facebook, that you can only watch on US, with videos being restricted on YouTube and other platforms, with websites that SHOULD be international simply because they ARE web based, being restricted. But, lucky Americans, I have no plans whatsoever to start any website. And, even this blog, being hosted by an American company, can be removed any second.
So, to all of you that have the honor and privilege of using an American IP, enjoy your many Private Country Clubs, knowing that we the riff-raff of the world, absolutely love the many ways you find daily to insult us. Have fun.

Each new analysis of the opioid addiction crisis seems to produce evidence that the impact is even worse than the more than 42,000 known opioid overdose deaths in 2016.
The death toll is so bad that it has reduced Americans' statistical life expectancy from 78.7 years in 2015 to 78.6 years in 2016. And that followed a drop from 78.9 years in 2014.
But that's only part of the toll. Opioid-induced deaths of large numbers of young parents has forced thousands of grandparents to begin rearing their second families.
And the epidemic now adversely affects more and more lives at their very beginning.
The Pennsylvania Health Care Cost Containment Council reports major increases in the rates of babies being born with neonatal abstinence syndrome, which describes a wide array of problems that newborns experience upon being separated from the drugs they have received from their mothers.
Nearly 3 percent of all Lackawanna County infants who were hospitalized in the 2016 and 2017 fiscal years, for example, had been born addicted to drugs, according to the report. Neonatal abstinence syndrome was responsible for 27.2 of every 1,000 neonatal hospital stays.
The statewide rate over the same period was 15 per 1,000 neonatal hospital stays, and that was a massive increase since 2,000, when drug addiction accounted for just 1.2 of every 1,000 neonatal admissions.
Rising death rates, falling life expectancy and increasing neonatal addiction all point to the need for an even greater focus on opioid addiction. That means greater enforcement to interdict ever more powerful combinations of opioids, much broader access to treatment and specific outreach to prospective mothers.
The rising toll across so many facets of the society demonstrate that the society itself, rather than individuals, is at grave risk. The response must be commensurate with the threat.

The episode was directed by Douglas Mackinnon, whose previous credits include Doctor Who.
Meanwhile, actress Amanda Abbington teased about the upcoming special…
"It's not what you think," said the actress, who plays Mary, the wife of real-life partner Martin Freeman's John Watson.
"People say the perfect thing was that Sherlock was modern day. But I know what's happened. There's more to this… Although I can say that it's great." (Source: Radio Times)
