With apologies to Peter King…
- Pneumonia really sucks. The only thing worse, in my experience, is shigella.
- Hurricanes give me the willies. The will it or won't it is enough to make me want to move.
- The construction industry is dead. Really dead.
- They do NOT make vacuums like they used to. My parents' is going on 30+ years. Me? I replace them every 5.
- Sarah Palin's need to dominate the news cycle is terrible for the Republican Party.
- If I were Gaddafi (Qaddafi, etc), I would not have stopped at Colonel. Heck, as a dictator, the sky is the limit. Generalissimo has a nice ring, don't ya think?
- The French want to pay higher taxes? Let them. And remember, Warren Buffett can help the U.S too. Oh, and he's a hypocrite.
- The wildfire in the Great Dismal Swamp? You can see it from space now. So, um, take that.
- The irony, it is strong in this one.
- Aid for Libya? I'm sad to see the U.S. is at the table.
Bonus: I am loving this song right now.

We made quite a production out of finding out if the baby was a he or a she. We had the ultrasound tech write it down and put it into an envelope. We proceeded to a local bakery and told the decorator that inside the envelope was the sex of our child and to decorate and fill the cupcake with the appropriate color frosting. Taylor had an appointment immediately following our ultrasound, so I had to sit and wait for an hour and a half from the time we left to be able to go home and find out! The anticipation was killer, but it was so fun!! Her Grandma Barlow suggested that we call her cupcake from here on out and I must say, I quite like it.
Here she is!!!
Our Sweet Cupcake,
It was so wonderful to see your precious face and to see each part of your healthy, growing body. We love you so much already and can hardly wait to meet you. We already think you are so beautiful and you look so much like your big Brother Anson.
You are a mover and a shaker and it has been so fun feeling your kicks and wiggles. You sure love your older Brother's voice and especially his laugh--you always move around like crazy when you hear him. Your Brother is going to love you so much and if he understood that you were growing in Mommy's belly, he would be so excited. He'll make up for lost time when you get here with lots of hugs and kisses!
You have decided to set up shop right in Mommy's pelvis, which means lots of trips to the potty, back aches and difficulty bending over. Mommy is already very uncomfortable and you still have to cook in my belly for another 4 1/2 months and Mommy is still very nauseous. Honestly, I think all of these things are just your way of saying: I'm here!! You need to understand that Mommy will take on all of this and more if it means bringing you into this world healthy and strong. Mommy would do anything for you and every discomfort is more than worth it!
Keep growing, growing and growing! Love you sweet girl!
Daddy & Mommy

Alan scans pretty much showed what we expected...the two areas that still exists in his lungs have increased in size. One is about 1/2" and the other one is a little smaller that that. There are also a few new cancer spots in both lungs. I think we were prepared for this news since the Sutent was no longer working and he had been off of it for a month now. Since Alan's Kidney Cancer is still progressing in his lungs as I type this, we are not going to wait for the trial with the RAD and Nexavar. They have about 4 more weeks before this trial starts. Alan's Drs. feel that it is imperative to go ahead and start the RAD asap. RAD was FDA approved in March of this year. I know it has been involved in many trials and has shown good results. We pray it shows the same for Alan! RAD is a mTOR inhibitor. It works different than Sutent. Sutent and RAD work different pathways, so since the Sutent did not work, hopefully the RAD will be the correct pathway to kill Alan's cancer or if nothing else, at least control it. The Dr. said that if Alan handled Sutent well, then he should do ok with the RAD. Alan takes the RAD daily with no off days. I guess the Nexavar is the drug that has pretty bad side effects to it. From what I've read from other people on different forums, that seems to be the one that gets most people.
Alan will have to have Pulmonary Function Test done monthly. Apparently RAD has been known to cause Chemical Pneumonia. They said that less than 5% of patients get this, but Alan will still be tested monthly. If he does get it, then he will stop the meds until his lungs clear. He will also have to watch his cholesterol, so that means no fried foods and a healthier diet!! Bad for Alan!! He will still have blood work done weekly.
I mentioned in the previous post about some other issues we would be dealing with while in Houston. Alan has been having some MAJOR pain in his left thigh. He pretty much has been in pain for the past month and before and not getting any rest from this pain. I promise, he has tried just about every trick to ease the pain aside from taking major pain meds or cutting off his leg (yes, it has hurt that bad!) :-) We were very concerned that the cancer had spread to his bones, so we asked the Dr. to do a bone scan. We had it done and it was clear!! That was such a relief b/c we have been anxiously waiting to see the results of this scan. I can't even describe to you how much weight was lifted off of Alan and I when we saw the scan and it was clear. That was a major gift from God!! I didn't want to mention the bone scan before, b/c I wanted to be certain what we were dealing with before we had everyone so worried. Alan had a hip x-ray also while we were in Houston, but it came back looking fine also. We still do not know the exact cause of Alan's pain, but we will be figuring it out b/c it's unbearable at times.
We do not have to go back to Houston for 8 weeks. I'm glad and also nervous about this. There is really no sense in us going back in 4 weeks b/c they will not do another scan until 8 weeks. So, on July 13th we will know if the RAD is working...BIG DAY!!
Alan and I ended up staying in Shreveport last night. It was already 10pm when we were coming through and we were soooo tired, so we just stayed and drove in this morning. Those days of waiting for scans and Drs. all day is actually very tiring. At least I finally got to start Eclipse..;-)
Thank you so so so much for you prayers b/c I know they are working. We do serve an awesome God and we know that. Even though at times it's hard to keep going, we know that there is a reason that he has chosen to put Alan on this journey. We don't question it...there is no reason to. Please say extra prayers for anyone dealing with difficult times that you know of. They need your prayers. We love you all and thank you!!

The story itself is bullshit, as he isn't suing the force - the case is being heard by an industrial tribunal. Also, he was concerned about far more than being made to look silly - his complaint centres around the forces failure to respect the long established protocols made for Sikh policemen.
But that's not what is interesting.
The Mail story appears to be pirated from an article written by Mike Keegan and published in the Manchester Evening News the day before. The two articles are very similar - the paragraphs have been swapped around a bit and the detail included in the MEN story has been removed and hysterical flim-flam substituted, but other than that, it looks like a straightforward rip-off by the Mail.
MEN is owned by the Guardian Media Group, and the Mail by Associated Newspapers, so it doesn't appear to be a case of the blurring between titles that seems to be getting increasingly common.
I've emailed Mike Keegan to find out if this was authorised. Could be interesting if it wasn't.

This short post will in'shaa Allah be part of a series of blog posts where I cover common cultural practices for weddings (in Singapore and Malaysia) through an Islamic lens, detailing the majority opinions regarding the permissibility of each practice.
A/N: All the content is based on my own research throughout my own wedding preparation. I am by no means an expert on Islamic rulings. Any corrections will be greatly appreciated.
Upholding our culture is important. However, we must be careful of certain practices that are contradictory with our Islamic beliefs. Applying henna for weddings has been commonly seen as mustahabb (encouraged) in our religion, but this is not always the case. In fact, there are some cases whereby applying and displaying the henna is haram (prohibited).
Generally, it is encouraged for women to apply henna on the nails of her hands, whether or not there is a special occasion that warrants it.
Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin: A woman made a sign from behind a curtain to indicate that she had a letter for the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). The Prophet (ﷺ) closed his hand, saying: I do not know this is a man's or a woman's hand. She said: No, a woman. He said: If you were a woman, you would make a difference to your nails, meaning with henna. (Sunan Abu Dawud; Hasan)
I attended a lecture on Fiqh of Beauty whereby the ustazah briefly discussed the history of this use of henna. As shown in the above hadith, during the Prophet's (ﷺ) time, henna was used only at the nails – or as most henna artists would term it, the 'cappings', as seen here:
The use of henna in this form is still unarguably considered as mustahabb.
Over time, as Islam expanded particularly into regions like India, the use of henna has evolved into the decorative henna that we know today:
As such, some argue that this form of henna should be discouraged as we are seen to be imitating the Hindus, and imitating the non-Muslims (and their associated customs) is haram in Islam:
Ibn 'Umar (RAA) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: He who imitates any people (in their actions) is considered to be one of them. (Abu Dawud; Sahih)
However, this ruling only applies to the acts of worship and the customs that are unique to these groups – acts and customs that distinguish these religions or groups from the rest. (See here for more details on the ruling on imitating the kuffar). For example, walking down the aisle to "Here Comes the Bride" with flowers being thrown is clear imitation of the Christians and hence should be avoided.
Although the use of intricate henna designs originated from the Hindus, over time it has seeped into the Malay culture and has been prevalent throughout many decades. Wedding photos of our mothers and our grandmothers show these intricate henna designs. As such, it is likely that this custom is no longer seen as unique to Hindu culture and hence does not fall under the category of imitating their culture. Therefore, the majority opinion is that these intricate designs are permissible.However, the designs must not include animals and logos of organizations or other religions groups.
As for the 'henna parties' that some brides would throw, they should be permissible as well, as long as they are within the confines of Islam (i.e. no unneeded intermingling between genders and no extravagance).
With that being said, it is important for brides to understand that while these intricate henna designs are (most likely) not haram, they are definitely not mustahabb or sunnah. No bride should feel pressured to simply follow the trend. If a bride chooses to have these designs drawn, it should be done with the intention of beautification for her own gratification, or for her husband, and not for the intention of imitating others' cultures. The bride should be careful about excessively displaying these designs on her hands – be it during her event, in photos or on social media – lest it fall under the category of tabarruj (wanton display of beauty), which is haram.
One should avoid these intricate henna designs if she is still unsure of its permissibility, or if its cost is beyond what she can afford (for hands, the price can range between SGD $50 for the less-known artists, to $200 for the most intricate designs done by the bigger names)
The discussion thus far has covered henna on the hands. It is important for brides to remember that her aurat in front of non-mahram men is her whole body except for her face and hands (according to the majority opinion). Using the argument in the earlier section, having henna designs on one's arms and feet is not haram. However, it is unarguably haram to show these areas of her body during the event or on social media where they can be seen by non-mahram men. Displaying henna on other parts of the body to her husband is permissible if he has a liking for it; in fact, beautification for the husband is encouraged.
It is imperative to note that all of the above discussion has been with regards to women. It is haram for men to apply henna on any part of his body, for weddings or otherwise.
Narrated Abu Hurayrah: An effeminate man (mukhannath) who had dyed his hands and feet with henna was brought to the Prophet (ﷺ). He asked: What is the matter with this man? He was told: "Messenger of Allah! He imitates the look of women." So he issued an order regarding him and he was banished to an-Naqi'. The people said: Messenger of Allah! Should we not kill him? He said: I have been prohibited from killing people who pray. (Sunan Abu Dawud; Sahih)
Recently I have noticed a trend of "white henna" being used for weddings, as seen below:
Contrary to its name, white henna actually does not contain henna ingredients. Hence it is seen only as a form of beautification or adornment (and not sunnah or mustahabb in any way) and the rulings with regards to beautification as detailed above apply.
More importantly, it is waterproof and can only be removed by letting it fade over time, or by using make-up remover or baby oil. Unlike usual henna, it creates a barrier between the water and the skin and hence ablution (wudhu) will not be valid. Hence, just like nail polish, waterproof make-up, and the like, using such a product in itself is not haram, but it must be removed for taking ablution.
Allah knows best.

When I arrived at Riverplace I was in awe about the beauty of the area, specially with the Hennops River flowing past the venue. It was the setup of a beautiful ceremony and reception and I think Fran and Dennis couldn't ask for anything more special than this.
After I met the bride and groom, I was the assistant photographer for Hannelie from Hannelee Photography, I set off to find the reception venue to get a few images of the decor. To my surprise it was absolutely gorgeous just because they have put so much time and effort into making some of the decor, with some help of their friends, themselves. I loved this! If I could choose to have decor for my own wedding it would come close to this! And there were hearts everywhere - wooden hearts, hearts on paper, hearts with beads, painted hearts.... I could feel their love for each other by just looking at the decor!
Fran and Dennis, I hope your wedding day was a big blessing to you as it was to everybody else who attended!
Took this through the stems of the above glasses...

"Navajo" Corn Cakes-Vegetarian Recipes
"Navajo" Corn Cakes vegetarian recipes for 4 people.
Ingredients for "Navajo" Corn Cakes
1/2 (12 ounce) package silken tofu
1 1/2-2 cups water
salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup cornmeal (I like Bob's Redmill brand)
oil or vegan margarine, as needed for frying
1 (15 ounce) can black beans
guacamole (or mashed avocados), to serve
vegan sour cream, to serve
1-2 jicama, peeled and sliced into strips or sticks
"Navajo" Corn Cakes, How to Make
1. Blend tofu, water, salt, and pepper in a food processor. The thickness can vary based upon preference, but I usually aim to keep mine just slightly thicker than soymilk.
2. Place the cornmeal in a bowl. Add the tofu mixture and blend thoroughly by hand. Heat the oil or margarine in a pan. Spoon the cornmeal batter into the pan in 3-4″ diameter circles.
3. Keep the heat at medium so that the cakes cook through without burning the pan or overcooking the bottom. Flip at the same point you would a pancake.
4. While the corn cakes are cooking, heat the black beans on low-medium heat on the stove. Serve corn cakes topped with sour cream, guacamole (or avocado mash/slices), and black beans.
Whether or not this is an authentic Navajo recipe is debatable. I doubt it, but it's certainly very good. You could throw some salsa on with the other toppings if you like.
Source of recipe: This is loosely based upon the "Navajo corn cakes" served at one of my father's favorite restaurants. I have no idea how they make theirs, or if it's really a Navajo recipe, but these taste great and are vegan.

And I admit I do sort of wonder how Obama's poll numbers are going today :)2302. The Yankee Clapper Posted: November 27, 2013 at 04:51 PM (#4606970)
Well since you asked, Obama's Job Approval Rating is Down to 38% in the Reuters/Ipsos Poll and 37% in the Economist/YouGov Poll. That puts him at 40% in the overall RCP Presidential Job Rating poll average, not too good. Perhaps the worst news is that Obama's Job Approval Hit An All-Time Low In Ohio:
The botched rollout of Barack Obama's signature health care law continues to take a political toll on the president. The latest evidence is a Quinnipiac University survey released Wednesday morning showing the president's approval rating hitting a record low of 34 percent in Ohio. Obama's disapproval rating has jumped to an all-time high of 61 percent. This represents a significant decline from Quinnipiac's last poll in Ohio on June 26, when Obama recorded a 40 percent approval rating and a 57 percent disapproval rating.
Might be a problem, no?
Getting close to the November 30 due date on Obama's promise to have the ObamaCare website fixed. Will it happen? Who can say, but today the Administration down-sized the project by again delaying the Small Business Exchange:2303. Guapo Posted: November 27, 2013 at 05:17 PM (#4606989)
The Obama administration is once again delaying the launch of an online small-business health care exchange, pushing the deadline back a full year to November 2014 . . . Consequently, instead of enrolling online through Healthcare.gov, small employers will have to apply through an agent, broker or directly through an insurer to enroll in plans through the new federal marketplace, for at least the next year.
If this was good news, it wouldn't have been released on the afternoon before Thanksgiving.
Curses! We thought we could slip it by on the afternoon before Thanksgiving and nobody would notice! You're too sharp for us, Yankee Clipper.2304. Lassus Posted: November 27, 2013 at 06:59 PM (#4607036)
"The small-business site in the complimenary piece..."2305. The Yankee Clapper Posted: November 27, 2013 at 07:46 PM (#4607051)
Is this 100% incorrect, or sometimes allowable in place of "complementary"? I would say the former, but maybe gef can correct me.
An update on the 2014 Senate Elections from the National Journal:2306. ERROR---Jolly Old St. Nick Posted: November 27, 2013 at 11:38 PM (#4607128)
A lot has happened since National Journal Hotline last surveyed the Senate landscape. Republicans took a significant hit when their efforts to derail the Affordable Care Act resulted in a federal government shutdown. But the struggles in implementing that law have swung the pendulum back in the GOP's favor in recent weeks.
Now all you need to do is to move the elections up about 49 weeks and you'll be all set.2307. Swoboda is freedom Posted: November 28, 2013 at 10:08 AM (#4607209)

Is this 100% incorrect, or sometimes allowable in place of "complementary"?
The former, I'd say, though I'm sure someone can find a one-time-only exception from some dictionary scribbled on foolscap by a random idiot in 1642 or thereabouts.
And Happy Hanukkah if you swing that way.
From right to left, no doubt.

Kind of surprised there isn't a [Thanksgiving Day parade] float for Mariano Rivera's retirement.
Now all you need to do is to move the elections up about 49 weeks and you'll be all set.
I think the point is that if you extrapolate from the trend, come election time the American people will be rioting in the street demanding Obama be deported and any who voted for him rode out of town on a rail.
Happy Turkey Day all.2314. Mellow Mouse, Benevolent Space Tyrant Posted: November 28, 2013 at 02:19 PM (#4607270)
Combined with a favorable map, Republican momentum has put control of the Senate firmly in play.
I have been hearing about the Senate being in play for 2014 for years at this point. It still is. Of course 2016 looks awesome for the Dems, so enjoy your chance of two years of getting Vetoed by the President. And don't count those chickens quite yet.
2012 was supposed to be a good year too - Akin, Mourdock, Allen, Berg, Wilson and Thompson couldn't get the job done. Fortunately there's just no way that could ever happen again.2316. Publius Publicola Posted: December 01, 2013 at 09:14 AM (#4608141)
Whitey Bulger's belongings will be auctioned off2317. The Yankee Clapper Posted: December 01, 2013 at 02:02 PM (#4608231)
Bulger also owned a boxing mannequin topped with a hat that was apparently propped in the window of his apartment to make it look as though there was someone keeping lookout. Other items include binoculars, a telescope, camouflage clothing, nine fedoras, 27 pairs of sunglasses, ceramic poodle salt and pepper shakers, assorted porcelain cats and hundreds of books, many with Bulger's handwritten notes scrawled in the margins. There's also a McCain/Palin campaign button and a God Bless America poster.
Whitey Bulger a Republican. Now there's a surprise.

Only when in disguise. Perhaps someone is forgetting the party affiliation of those Boston politicians that cozied up to him or looked the other way all those years, including his brother.
Trent Lott and Tom Daschle offer a gridlock reliever blueprint:
"First, Congress should return to a five-day workweek and commit to "regular order." Leadership should schedule votes on Fridays and Mondays to accommodate a more ambitious legislative agenda....
Second, joint caucuses should be scheduled at least once a month...
Third, end the Senate practice of "holds." Members of both parties have abused this practice, which is now tantamount to a veto.....
Fourth, initiate weekly meetings at the White House and quarterly weekend meetings at Camp David. Regular engagement between the president and leaders of Congress is necessary..."
Perhaps congress should go on team building exercises... I suggest group sky diving. I'll pack the parachutes.2320. zenbitz Posted: December 02, 2013 at 12:27 PM (#4608669)

Kurdish parties threaten to boycott election
The Kurdish Peace & Democracy Party (BDP) has threatened to boycott the 12th June general election after 12 BDP backed candidates were barred from standing.
The High Elections Board said that the 12 had convictions against them which prevented them from standing. The convictions are said to be related to anti terrorism laws which forbid association with certain Kurdish groups. One of those banned is BDP co-leader Gultan Kisanak and another is a Nobel peace prize nominee, Layla Zana. Gultan Kisanak is currently a member of parliament.

With the telecom players drawing a trump every time they come up with a new service, you expect that they have just about exhausted all options available to mankind! However, surely the game is turning out to become a price war! Well, as much as it benefits the end consumer, it is simply not a way the industry gives the best to offer. So, as long as the price war is on, it is simply inevitable that the revenue stream keeps flowing through some channel; given the ever falling ARPU in the Indian market at least.
In this very vein, just a few words of suggestion to the mobile network operators and the now-booming Value Added Services (VAS) industry. There are some very simplistic services which arise out of a daily need to attend calls; not of the natural kind, of course; given that the cellular thingy has now become indisposable... So, here goes...
More Ad space....
Ha! Ads, ads and more ads. Even football player's jersey (the back-side) space is now officially ad space, the most sought after now-a-days! This; advertisements, not the footballers' butt space, seems to be the elixir for industries where service/ product differentiation no longer exists. In fact, the fight now has shifted to another arena; that of ad revenue generation. Keeping in line with the most lucrative trend, this might prove to be a revenue generator. How about this, "Offer advertisements as CBRTs".
- Users who choose this option will not have to pay for the CBRT, and
- Tariffs be waivered for those who use advertisements as CBRTs, which would, I believe be more than compensated by the Advertising revenue
Convey my Message...
Anything common to meetings, movies and driving? No mobile phones! And guess what?! I have no clue why people call time and again if you cut the ring or don't pick the phone the first time...! I mean, the second time is still acceptable! But 4-5 times... dude, I am in a movie hall and I could possibly not pick the call without righteous looking aunties giving strange glares or louder taunts, their 2 yr old crying kid notwithstanding! So, all you Vodafones and Airtels, there is a suggestion! In place of CRBT, user should be given an option (or a mode) to set a tone which says that the 'user is in a meeting' or 'watching a movie' or 'driving a car' or 'simply that the user is currently busy and will call some time later'. Of course more interesting options like 'user doesn't want to talk to you' can be explored! So, if I am driving and someone calls me, I could be rest assured that the caller has got the message and would promptly cut the phone and wait for the call instead of repeatedly trying to call me. This, I believe would save you bandwidth and channel usage. In fact, you could use this as a CSR step even as cell-phone related motor accidents is on the rise. Imagine an ad saying 'Ab Vodafone users ka accident nahi hoga!' or something like that...!
And I am quite serious about these...I have mailed Vodafone and Airtel in this regard too... Just suggestions, I don't know how feasible this would be. Do comment on why this would or would not be feasible. Well, interestingly Airtel has a 'Mind to Market' link under their 'contact us' tab! It encourages ideas from users and corporates alike... Nice going I would say!
* For the uninitiated
CBRT - Call Back Ring Tones i.e. when you call some one, you hear film songs, bhajans, etc. This is the single largest revenue earner for network operators. This music market has equaled the sales of traditional music i.e. cassettes and CDs.
ARPU - Average Revenue Per User
VAS - Value Added Services. Services like music downloads, games, caller tunes, etc. are provided by 3rd party providers

Study Group
We the part-timers have set up amongst ourselves a study group. Basically we meet up and try to solve some advance math question.As we don't really have time for study, this is the most effective way. But what really happens is just the normal stuff. You know? Copy
No lah, we discuss those question we can't really solve and crack our head open in order to do that. Now, for your guys' information, this study group basically consist of 5 people. Two Indonesian and the rest is Malaysian. Only one is part-timer and he is an Indonesian. The other Indonesian is an engineer working at Pasir Gudang, quite near to where I'm working at the moment. The other two work quite near to the university, but I digress…
Anyway, during the 'discussion' there'll be some clash of language. Excerpt as per below:
Indo guy 1: yang ini bagaimana deh?
Me: oh, yang ini kena differentiate dulu, kembangkan and then lepas tuh buat partial fraction. Lepas tuh kita batalkan mana2 yang sama atas dengan bawah lepas tuh baru ikut Cauchy integral theorem.
Indo guy 1: ohh…gitu yah? Kita differentiate, jabarkan dulu, partial fraction emmmm…udah begitu kita coretkan yang mana sama gitu?
Me: (in a dumbfounded manner) err..ha'ah err..coretkan yang di atas dan di bawah…
Emm…frankly speaking the conversation would have been quite difficult for me due to different 'term', had I not always watch Indonesian tv. Dulu selalu sangat tengok 'sinetron' ( drama ) tv so I can guess what he was trying to say.
Good thing I prefer johorian ;)

Day 137 of practice.
Tonight I went to the nearby park for some dance practice with fellow Tucson tribal dancers. We were fortunate enough to even have some live drumming tonight! We worked on tribal basics, fast and slow, with Fonda there to remind people how to do it right. This will probably be how I spend every Tuesday night until it gets too hot!

Kelly's October Update
Happy October from God's Littlest Angels, Brandon and Ambur!
October has been a really rewarding month here at GLA! More of your little angels have continued to progress into the final stages of their adoption process…passports and visas! We are praying for smooth progressions during all of the adoption phases, and that you will get to be united or reunited with your kiddos soon! The school sponsorship program has also wound down since this summer…all of the students sponsored in the school sponsorship program have come and received their first semester's tuition for school, what a blessing to be a part of that and see all of their appreciative smiles. Thanks to so many generous sponsors, almost 350 students were blessed with funds to attend school this year! The building of the schoolhouse at Fort Jacques continues to move forward; we are also working toward completing the toddler houses.
We continued the learning theme into this month's updates, and emphasized this in the photos using Dr. Seuss. The kiddos loved the crazy colors, outfits, and props! We did our best to capture their reactions on camera. For those of you with kiddos in school, we also took class photos of them with their teachers and friends, and attached some of their fantastic classwork for you to see. They are doing so well! All of the children here at the main house also had a blast imprinting their hands and feet on paper with paint, to show their growth. For those of you whose kiddos do not yet attend school, attached you will find their hand and footprints, as well a few photos of their reactions to the project.
Some of them were not sure what to think of their hands and feet getting painted, others laughed out of being so ticklish!
Kelly is so very close to the end of his adoption process and I am so thankful to be a small part of it! So excited to meet you!
Kelly's class also did handprints this month. His schoolwork and handprints are attached for you to see, along with a class photo.

Kelly's September Update
Happy Fall from God's Littlest Angels, Brandon and Ambur!
September has been a typically busy month here at GLA. We have had a couple more kiddos join their adoptive families and have even taken in a few babies in the past few weeks!! We are excited to see adoptions moving along as more and more of you are entering the final stages of the process. We are praying and hoping to see those of you who are waiting for passports here before the holidays. Construction at Fort Jacques continues to progress. The building of the school house has moved forward this month as well as more planning on the main building which will house the babies and the offices. School Sponsorship has also kept us on our toes with ensuring that as many students as possible are sponsored for the 2013-2014 school year. We have most of our students matched with sponsors now and are hoping to get their first semester tuition to them in the beginning of October with school starting on October 7th here in Haiti.
Tiffany is working to transition into the role of Update Coordinator. She is doing an excellent job and will soon be taking photos and writing updates on her own. This month we split the responsibility with Tiffany writing information for the main house kids and I (Susie) writing the information for the Toddler House kids. Here is a bio from Tiffany, so you can learn more about your new Update Coordinator:
Hello adoptive families! Tiffany, here J I am from Michigan and have a huge passion for working with children, as I have my master's degree in Social Work and lots of experience working with kids in many capacities. It has been such a blessing and a great adventure to be here since the middle of August! I have loved meeting your children, learning their names and getting to know their unique personalities. I consider it an honor to update you on your children each month and to be a small part of your adoption process. I look forward to meeting those of you who will be here visiting your kids in the future, and am excited to witness the joyful and long awaited reunions of these little angels with their forever families! Blessings to all of you in your adoptions process, know that I am praying for you all.
This month we focused photo day and our updates on the learning and development of the kids here at GLA, now that all of kids age 2 and above are attending school. For those of you whose kids are attending school, you will find their school schedule as well as a little information from their teachers. For the babies who are too little for school, Tiffany will give you an update about their growth and development. It has been a joy for us to see the kids excited about attending school, some for the first time. It never ceases to amaze us how much capacity these kiddos have to learn new things so quickly! We have been blessed to help them off to their classes each day, and to see the progress that they are making. Happy reading J
The school schedule has changed a bit, starting this month. The class here at the main house has been split into two, to better accommodate the children and to enhance their learning environment. The first class, consisting of the eight younger students, attends school from 8:30am-10:30am each day. The second class attends from 11am-1pm daily, and consists of the nine older students.
Right now, the kiddos are working on learning their shapes and colors. This month they focused on the colors blue, red, and yellow, and the circle and square. It has been music to my ears to hear them also sing the following familiar song in Creole everyday at the top of their lungs!:
This is the day, this is the day
That the lord has made, that the lord has made
I will rejoice, I will rejoice
And be glad in it, glad in it
This is the day that the lord has made
I will rejoice and be glad in it
This is the day, this is the day
That the lord has made
Kelly looks forward to school daily, and attends the first class with the other kiddos. His teacher comments that he is a good boy, and he participates in all of the classroom activities. He loves singing all of the songs loud, and claps to the beat as best as he can. His speech is improving to two-three word sentences and he is definitely not afraid to show off his new speaking skills in class! I also attended class with him this past month and he is such a joy! He is working on the learning the colors and shapes, and loves the social aspect of class the most.

Connor McTurboRich
Further to @TSNRyanRishaug McDavid mention, hearing deal will be around $13.25M for 8 yrs. Big win for EDM to get that term, as opposed to 5
— Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) June 28, 2017
Obviously this deal won't be official until July 1, but Daddy is on the verge of pulling in a cool $106 United States Dollars over the next eight years of his life. And before you get your CSA vests in a bunch:
$13M would be $17.3% of the 2017-18 cap ceiling. That's the same cap percentage as Sidney Crosby's $8.7M contract signed in 2007. https://t.co/4dG2tl6FTh
— NHLNumbers (@NHLnumbers) June 27, 2017
You can still build a successful team around that because it's literally been done before. And the deal doesn't even kick in until next season. So, realistically, that percentage could drop even further if the cap continues to climb. We've just never witnessed a deal of this magnitude in Edmonton, but if you think this is the end of the world or if you think it's impossible to win with a player making that much coin then there's the figurative door. This is most certainly not the end of the world. Far from it, in fact. It's never the end of the world as long as you have Connor McDavid. This is why you pay the man:
You pay the man whatever the hell he wants, or you don't pay the man and then somebody else comes and pays him, and then we're back to life without McDavid. Does everyone remember what that was like? I sure as shit do, and I can tell you with every ounce of fiber in my goddamn body that I want nothing to do with that time ever again. Paging 2014:
Thanks but absolutely no thanks. I'm more than fine with this deal because it serves as a reminder that the 20-year-old who just led the league in scoring by double digits is still on our team. In fact, I'm so fine with this deal that I'm barely even thinking about it. When we drafted Connor nearly two years ago to this day I always imagined him signing his first deal to any dollars he wanted and me casually shrugging it off as if it was any other contract, and that's exactly what I'm doing. Calgary can sign every Fooking idiot free agent they want and they'll still never have the Kamikaze we have in our fleet for at least the next eight years.
This, on the other hand, would be about the equivalent of a ruptured appendix:
Predatory offer sheet at 9.8 million forces Oilers to pay 23 million for 2 players, or lose Draisaitl.
— Ryan Rishaug (@TSNRyanRishaug) June 28, 2017
So, in the extremely hypothetical yet still borderline horrifying scenario where another team comes in and offers Leon a Pablo Escobar plane full of money, the Oilers will be stuck in a very uncomfortable and probably lose-lose situation. On one hand, you don't want to lose Leon for four first round picks. As we all know, first round picks are always a gamble. Take a look at Nail Yakupov as he contemplates a ticket to the KHL or worse, Vancouver. On the other hand, paying Leon Draisaitl almost $10M would actually cripple the fellas. If they can somehow keep it to $7M (or for the love of all things God, $6.5M) then we're coming out rather unscathed. If not, the Pistol's going to have to get extremely creative, and we better pray the Canadian Dollar skyrockets in the next few years, driving the salary cap up with it.
Anyways. Here's a reassuring pat on the back that things will be okay, and one more casual reminder that we have Connor McDavid and nobody else does:

September was extremely busy for our Production Department
From Todd Williams, Production Manager:
September was a busy month with the opening of Radio Golf and rehearsals for Mauritius. Our opening night festivities for Radio Golf were held in the scene shop and paint shop, which were completely transformed from busy work spaces to a dramatic party space, complete with beautiful lighting, and costumes and props from past shows on display. The shops looked absolutely fantastic and were enjoyed by all. Thanks to all of the staff that worked so hard to make it happen.
Production Departments Heads (Dan, Kris, Roberto, Nancy, Brian, Ben and Kat) also gave tours on our annual subscriber reception on Sept 19th, and enjoyed the enthusiasm and interest from both our new and long time loyal subscribers.
I've wrapped up some of the lingering details on Radio Golf as we now work to get it ready to travel again in mid October. Next stop is Chicago's Goodman Theatre in January and then to the McCarter in New Jersey come March. Both companies are sending staff here to see the show, and to take a look at the set… and here's another shout out to the folks at Seattle Rep who have done such great work from getting all of the props, costumes and set dressing from the Yale Rep and Center Theatre Group and then built David Gallo's beautiful set. I'd better not forget Centerstage who also had a great run of this production. While we often prefer doing our own thing from start to finish it has been very satisfying to be part of this final August Wilson production and to work with so many of our colleagues across the country.
We have loaded in Eugene Lee's gritty Mauritius set at the Wimberly Theatre and getting the motors rigged and programmed for the scene changes. The cluttered stamp shop continues to fill with philately paraphernalia, keeping our props staff, Kris Holmes and Brandon Ribordy, VERY busy. Our Technical Director, Dan Ramirez, is heading to Broadway to help install our set for the Broadway Run of Butley.
The scenery for Rabbit Hole is coming along well…. Jim Noone's homey scenic design features a living room, bedroom, and kitchen surrounded by the skeletal form of the house's exterior. We're trying out a new computer system to run the automation, the techies among you can check it out here. And we're hoping super retailer IKEA is going to sign on as a production sponsor and come through for us with a kitchen full of cabinets and stainless steel appliances. The design team for The Cherry Orchard is beginning to find the shape of the show and we're hoping for prelim scenic designs from legendary Ralph Funicello any day now. This season holds great promise for some outstanding design from some of the nations top theatre artists.
Enough for today… I'm giving myself a headache thinking about it all. I promise to post some sneak peek photos in future entries. (Photo above: Radio Golf set design by David Gallo.)

This article will help you progress on Lord of the Rings Online without logging into your character.
|"Maybe if I pose like this in the Ettenmoors I will finally rank up a bit!"
It is so easy to get lost on your path in Middle Earth. You logged in to do daily quests, and instead ran about for 2 hours in the chicken session play. It happens to the best of us. Being offline without the option to play gives us time to focus on using our time effectively and attempt at getting some progress done!
|Laphor didn't get to Rank 15 standing AFK in Wildermore! Wait a minute...
First of all, look at your character's goals. Has he been itching to get that Hytbold armour? Wanted to find that final mirror in Durin's Way? To tank in Draigoch? There are so many things to be done, so let's get planning!
|"He's not moving guys, I think he's bugged..."
First of all you'll need to write out your goals. Eg:
I want to be World Renowned.
I want to finally get into Goblin Town and NOT get lost.
I want to get to level 100 on all of my alts,
I want to walk into the Ettenmoors without being eaten.
The potential is endless. After you have written out your goals, write how long it will take, followed by a likely deadline next to them, eg:
I want to find that NPC in Bree called "Nob" and /kiss him, so I can make a funny character biography about it. (Will take 5 minutes, deadline: tomorrow).
Making your goals achievable will ensure you will get them done. Adding a deadline will make the goal seem more important. Now you have planned what you are going to do, it's time to research your goal. If this goal is to complete a raid, it will take some serious consideration. Check YouTube, Lotro-Wiki and the Forums to learn more about your task. Let's get planning!
|"It's... some kind of Elvish...or maybe Klingon."
Now you are ready to achieve your goal. The servers will be back up soon, and you will be ready to get that goal crossed off your list! The trick here is to stay focused and make sure you carry out what you set out to do. Before you know it, it'll be completed. How wonderful!

Comprehending Organic SEOIn the old days of the Net, there were no SEO Professionals, automated systems, or all that high modern technology things. A few years earlier, as a matter of fact, the term "Seo" did not also exist! If it was not targeted) to with any luck produce the needed revenues, website proprietors had a hard time with ways and means to obtain the much-needed hits to their internet site (never ever mind. Those were the days of IBM (or "It's Best done By hand) and also Organic Search Engine Optimization.
Organic SEO still describes the procedures and also approaches that are embarked on to optimize a web site to ensure that it gets excellent relevance ratings based upon the keywords that the website is responsive to. The only distinction between Organic SEO as well as the SEO we currently recognize is that Organic Search Engine Optimization is a hands-on procedure vs. the present automated processes of web page submission as well as alteration that defines "modern" Search Engine Optimization. Organic Search Engine Optimization focuses on advertising websites on the All-natural online search engine outcomes likewise called organic lead to contrast with funded links (Pay-Per-Click/PPC). Organic Search Engine Optimization, if you really think about is a "purist" approach to internet site optimization because nothing is a "black box". As a specialist in Organic Search Engine Optimization, you recognize optimization; you don't just blindly trust it.
Organic SEO is based upon a clear understanding of essential principles, consisting of:
• Online search engine and exactly how they function

My Reason for a Better World
If this is not a reason to make this planet a better place I don't know what is. I spent most of earth day with "our girl" outside at the park seeing things in her eyes. It was a joyous day.

Teething story
"I am called into the emergency room one day to see a little girl, about 5 months old. She's green. After examining her, I determine she's suffering from liver failure. It turns out her mother and grandmother decided that they didn't want her to suffer through teething so they had been giving her infant Tylenol every 4 hours for the last 2 weeks! We were able to get the little girl a liver transplant and she managed to go through the chemo to deal with the rejection just fine. Then her brother came home with the chicken pox and she died about 6 hours later from a major chicken pox infection (her immune system was just that low)."
ACK!!! Like I wasn't paranoid enough about giving JJ medications as it is. How scary is that?
1 comment:
OMG!! How sad is that? I can't imagine giving my child that much medicine for days on end, much less even for ONE day! I'm a bit paranoid about over-medicating, too. I don't know what you've decided to do, but this has worked for us...
First, during the day, give a cooled teething ring. The hard plastic kind (vs. the soft, gel-filled kind) work rather well. Just keep a few in the fridge. Another thing that works really well is a damp washcloth... they love to gnaw on it!
Second, just before bed, give a dose of ibuprofen... in my experience, ibuprofen works best on teething, because it really works to reduce swelling. Giving it before bed obviously helps them to get to sleep a little better (the tooth pain can make it really tough getting them to calm down!). Usually, I only have to give them a dose a single night here and there when the teething is really bad (on very rare occasions, I'll do it 2 nights in a row). If you think they need more medication that this sparse amount, I've heard that you should alternate between Tylenol and ibuprofen. I never had to do it myself, but it's good to know.
Good luck to JJ popping those suckers out soon!

Whole Foods chiefs: We're sorry we overcharged customers
Major food retailer Whole Foods is apologizing for overcharging New York City store customers for sliced fruit, fresh juice and sandwiches and said the errors were unintentional, according to a CNNreport.
There was a "very, very small percentage of mis-weighing errors," Co-CEO John Mackey in a video regarding the overcharging. "Straight up, we made some mistakes," Co-CEO Walter Robb said in the film. "We want to own that and tell you what we're doing about it," said Robb.
The mistakes were both in customers' favor and in the store's favor, noted the company leaders.
The video and apology comes on the heels of a New York City Department of Consumer Affairs' investigation. The city officials, according to CNN, said there were very few incidents where customers were undercharged and the consumer agency described the incidents as "systematic."
Whole Foods will beef up employee training in the stores and across the country to avoid future potential overcharging issues.
"We're going to be reporting back to you, the customer, on exactly what kind of progress we're making here," Mackey said, according to CNN, and noted future mistakes not in the favor of the customer will result in the customer getting the item for free.

GRACE, Gender Research in Africa into ICTs for Empowerment, is a nonprofit research coalition of 14 independent research sites in 12 countries throughout Africa and the Middle East that focus on researching the capacity for ICTs to enable women's empowerment. Their primary foci seems to be using "information politics" to:
- Raise awareness about the various disconnects between women and ICTs
- Build the capacity of women concerning ICT usage
- Increase the participation of women in ICT fields
The GRACE coalitions raise awareness about using technology as a platform for publicizing violence against women in public spaces, as the Blank Noise campaign does.
GRACE also acts as a network hub in that they facilitate the flow of information among the various research sites and also build the capacity of the group through training sessions.
In terms of larger impact, it is not apparent that GRACE itself uses "leverage politics" or "accountability politics" to call upon more powerful actors to affect change. However, GRACE is funded by organizations that do, namely the Association for Progressive Communication (APC), and the International Development Research Center (IDRC). GRACE network members are also funded by and work with organizations that utilize "leverage" and "accountability" politics, for example, the Gender and Media Progress Study Southern Africa which was published by Gender Links; and Liberia Women Democracy Radio which is "sponsored by the United Nations Democracy Fund, facilitated by UN Women, and implemented by the Liberia Women Media Action Committee and the Young Women's Christian Association."
As such, I would say that GRACE largely accomplishes its goals, as its network members appear to be making strides in the women's empowerment and ICT arena. Salome Awuor Omamo serves as an example, and explains the various ways in which her GRACE training has empowered her, as well as enabled her to empower others.

You don't have to be a movie buff to enjoy the upcoming Beaufort International Film Festival, but it certainly doesn't hurt.
"If you love going to the theater or if you love movies, you'll love the film festival," said Ron Tucker, president and CEO of the Beaufort Film Society which hosts the annual festival now in its 10th year.
Called the "quintessential cultural event of the Lowcountry" by bestselling author Pat Conroy, the film festival brings filmmakers and industry professionals from all over the world to Beaufort.
But with roughly 40 films spread out over three days of screenings, the festival can be a bit overwhelming at first blush.
So for those of you who enjoy the big screen, here's a step-by-step guide for how to better manage your film festival experience.
Step One: Check out the movies
Screenings begin Feb. 11 and run through Feb. 13, at the University of South Carolina Beaufort Center for the Arts, at 805 Carteret St., Beaufort.
In addition, each day will offer a variety of films from shorts lasting 5 or 10 minutes to full-length feature films.
If you know you're only going to have a day or an afternoon to devote to the festival, a good place to start is the festival's website at www.beaufortfilmfestival.com.
(Printed schedules can also be found at the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce Visitors' Center, at 701 Craven St., Beaufort, and on entryway racks at many businesses downtown.)
Click on a "Schedule/ Screening Times" then click on the specific day's schedule to see what is playing.
If something seems appealing, you can then go to "Official Selections 2016" for a short synopsis of the film.
Step Two: Drill down
If you have more time or would rather target the types of films you love, go straight to selections and peruse the complete list there.
For example, if you like dramas, "Intersection," about a man suffering from guilt over his daughter's death, might be the film for you.
If comedy is more your thing, you may want to check out "The Break In" -- a 9-minute short about a mother terrified of everything who spends the night at the family cottage.
Or, if documentaries and world affairs interest you, you may want to check out "Since: The Bombing of Pan AM Flight 103" which follows the family members of those killed in the airliner that exploded over Lockerbie, Scotland and shows what has happened since.
There is also about a half dozen entries from South Carolina, for those interested in locally-made films as well as some from North Carolina and Georgia.
Step Three: Get your tickets
You can purchase tickets at the door or in advance at the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce Visitors' Center, 701 Craven St., Beaufort, but you can also purchase online or at the door.
Advance tickets are a good idea if there's a "must see" movie on your list and you don't want to risk that film selling out.
Single film passes for $6are also available so if you only have time for one movie -- say a feature at night -- you can certainly show up at the center and pay at the door.
Also, if you think you're going to see more than one film, a day pass for $50 (discounts are available for members) may give you more bang for your buck.
Step Four: Go to the movies, interact and have fun
Part of attending a festival with like-minded people is participating in discussions, interacting with others and having fun.
With more than 60 filmmakers from all over the world expected to attend the event, there will be plenty of opportunities for meeting directors, actors and other film industry professionals.
"They are very approachable," said Tucker.
In fact, for super fans interested in having the total movie experience, the festival always kicks off with an Opening Night Filmmakers Reception.
This year's reception is at 6 p.m. Feb. 10, at the Tabby Place, 913 Port Republic St., Beaufort.
An Awards Ceremony recognizing South Carolina's own Vanna White, will take place starting with a champagne hour at 7 p.m. Feb. 13.
Tickets for both the awards ceremony and opening night are required in advance.
In addition, a Screenwriter's Workshop and Table-Read in which local actors will read excerpts from scripts is at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 11. A reception follows.

Have you considered wall papering part of your kitchen? Wall paper adds a warmth and visual interest to an area, and it can help emphasize a theme too. I'm not talking about incorporating too much busy designs and wall paper that is overwhelming whenever you walk in the kitchen, but wall paper that can make the space more welcoming and warmer.
With kitchens becoming multi functional and larger, wall paper can be a great way to delineate part of the area. For instance, wall paper by the kitchen table help to mark that as an eating zone or wall paper by the two armchairs by the burner will mark that as a chat and chilling area of the kitchen.
Kitchen wall paper helps in creating different moods and zones in a room. Wall paper helps tie the scheme together and create a visual focus on the room, taking your sight away from the mechanical gadgetry on display. The busy kitchen environment allows for the choice of the wall paper to be more energetic, bold and fun than in other areas in your home.
The kitchen is a ladies territory, no doubt, but few men cook too. With that, a woman tends to pervade her personality in the kitchen, modeling it to suit her ideas and taste. Some prefer minimalist or modern themes, while others go feminine or country. Here are great wall paper designs to match your kitchen.
Most women nowadays go for kitchens that reflect the classic and cozy country atmosphere. Wall paper that holds the warm countryside vibe includes toile borders and wall paper that display vegetable and fruit patterns. Images of grapes, berries or apples in a box are an excellent option for country wall paper border. Pictures of farm animals, herbs, teacups, cooking ware, bottles also hold for great country inspired wall paper.
Another perfect design for the kitchen is toile wall paper designs with French, Victorian and vintage themes. Old wall paper borders that show scenes from past days provide the kitchen with a unique feel and look. Checkered French wall paper border with excellent recipes is a fantastic design for the kitchen walls.
Modern kitchens require a taste of modernity. The Harlequin design display more modernity than any other kitchen wall paper. Harlequin wall papers are a preferred choice by interior designers who remodel sophisticated and contemporary kitchens. It is easy to manipulate Harlequin wall papers to match any theme as it is custom made. Squares, circles, leaves, medallions and brush strokes are great designs for modern and contemporary wall paper.
The faux finishing is a trend making some waves in interior design. With most faux finishes appearing in living and dens rooms, one can apply the technique on kitchen wall too. Though an actual faux finish painting may look good, wall paper with faux finish details is also pleasing to the eye. Additionally, table tops, cupboards, kitchen counters and other kitchen fixtures can be pasted with a faux detail to subsume a similar theme. Stucco and marbleized finishes are faux designs to enhance the kitchen.
Kitchen wall paper is an inexpensive and great alternative to complete remodeling a kitchen. For the wall paper to fit well, it must go well with other fixtures, lights, and decorations of the kitchen.

I have heard from Lucky. She is doing MUCH better, and thanks to a very well known computer company over charging her and screwing up, she phoned this morning to tell me that she was offered some free electronics. My sister being the wonderful person that she is, phoned me and asked if the kids still wanted ipods. Uh, yeah! Hell yeah! So, she is working on it as I sit here typing. Really, how lucky am I to have her for a sister?
Skippymom has her boy home now, and even though she sounds tired, she also sounds blissfully happy! It feels great to be spreading some good news instead of dwelling on negative crap.
That's it, that's all I have. My head is spinning again, and I think that I'm going to go lay down.

Drunk Punk - My Mum used to make me hot toddys when I was a kid. Not really my thing....Is there any medicinal value in gin and tonic? More my thing. Besides, the only booze in the house is a bottle wine left over from the holidays.
Corky - My Hubby is always making me herbal teas when I'm sick. I'm so miserable, though. Best to just let me sleep it off. You are so sweet, taking care of Allison like that! I hope that's she's not sick!
Nonny - Is that why you haven't been around? I was getting worried. J was sick for the whole 2 weeks that she was off for Christmas holidays. Poor kid. I have been sick about 2 weeks now, too. I keep feeling a little better, and then BAM, it hits me again.
I hope that you're feeling better, too. I hate coughing all night. You should ask your doc for a Rx cough supressant if it keeps up. I had stuff that knocked me on my ass a few yrs back. Best sleep that I ever had!
Cindy - I am feeling a bit better already. Nothing to worry about, just a nagging cough that doesn't want to go away, and some sinus problems..If I can't shake it soon, I might just take 4D's advice and have a hot toddy or 2, or3, or......

Oh, get better soon. I heard from both my girls this morning, one is suffering the flu - the other, the kids are sick. I'm fighting allergies of all things, so coughing sneezing too. It must have blown across the country with the snow! Stay warm, don't get chilled, get someone to make chicken soup, and rest! Be careful of over-counter-meds - they can stop up your lungs and make things worse!

- Life, or Something Like It said...
Gardenia - I don't take very many drugs of any kind. I am VERY freaked out about anything that affects my lungs, because my Dad died of an idiopathic lung disease. Scares the pants off of me.
I do feel a bit better, but I have been fighting this thing for a couple of weeks now. Everyone seems to be getting sick....

Seriously. That's not a rhetorical question.
I came to a harsh and shocking realization tonight outside of Walgreen's while parking my car.
My son has one of those infections toddlers are always getting. Parents reading will know when I say that without blood tests, etc. the doctor at the after-hours clinic diagnosed it as viral and quickly provided prescriptions for some goopy pink-acilin and eye drops and ear drops for his pain. I was able to go to our Walgreen's directly while my wife took care of my son who had thrown up in the car. Because the doctor was able to transmit our prescription electronically I didn't have to wait for her return to get a paper prescription and I didn't have to drop off said script and have to wait or return later to get the medicine. The pharmacist didn't have my prescription medicine ready when I arrived. I would have to wait ten minutes. I called my wife. She said to pick up some Pedialyte while I was waiting.
I pay a premium back to my employer to have a "Cadillac" plan that not only allows me to go to an after hours clinic on this type of occasion but to only pay a small premium over my normal co-pay for such an occasion. With two small children it is money well spent to have such a plan.
All this was very good fortune but all the more reason I couldn't shake the realization that popped into my head minutes earlier.
A year from now under Obama-Care I will have to write quite a different story . . .
My wife and I will be up all night with the anxieties that befall any parent who can clearly see their child is not well. This anxiety is further punctuated by the shrill pain cry of a pre-verbal toddler pulling at their ears or eyes, not understanding what is causing their misery. The small dose of over-the-counter medication in the home will only have a very mild and temporary effect. One of us will have to take a day off of work to take our child to the Public Plan clinic, the one that is only open during banker's hours. The choice not to go to the emergency room in the middle of the night will be made based on the last occasion when we were waiting the entire night not to be seen in an overcrowded ward of patients similarly or worse off. Waiting only to be ultimately turned away in the morning because before we could be seen in the Emergency Room the Public Plan clinic would be open, meaning only the most severe cases would be admitted into the overcrowded and understaffed hospital. So our choice will be to endure the shrill cries and the lack of sleep but alas, daylight.
One of us will trudge off to the Public Plan clinic while the other is still bleary eyed at work even with three cups of strong coffee. The unfortunate parent who has to go to the clinic will be racing against time and traffic because arriving after the doors open means standing in an even longer line. The admitting agent, fresh from a career issuing licenses at the DMV and lacking all the empathy that Supreme Court nominees apparently must have in spades, will grunt and be generally distracted by my child's crying. This government employee will have difficulty finding our file on an overburdened and underfunded medical records system designed by the IRS - the same system that issues stimulus checks to pets and the deceased. At this moment the unfortunate parent trying to sooth the now persistent cries of the child will try to conceal their panic attack. They remember a friend, no urban myth by the way, whose records were lost; accidentally or "accidentally" deleted by some fumble fingered bureaucrat and the nightmare that ensued while simultaneously struggling with illness and all the necessary paperwork to be reinserted in the system. But this day the admitting agent finds our record but now has to call the Central Plan Administrator for an approval because it's only been three months since the last time our child visited the clinic and this sets off a red flag in the system for "free health care abuse". You see, to protect the nation from ever increasing costs there will be safeguards put in place to alert the admitting agents to the possibility of hypochondriacs and other chronic over-users.
Perhaps the increasing volume of our child's cries convinces the bureaucrat on the other end of the phone so now it will only be the better part of an hour before we are let in the back of the dingy clinic with uncomfortable seating to match the broken and dilapidated chairs in the waiting room. Choices of lighting and furnishing and whether or not there is a working TV or a clean bathroom at this clinic will be determined on the basis that now I am no longer a consumer with a choice, one they are trying to influence through these various accommodations but instead merely a ward of the state who can take or leave what my government offers me. Leaving of course, means leaving empty handed because the government run system is the only game in town. You see, private care options have been outlawed, made illegal because after crunching the numbers like so many other countries where they experimented with socialized care, it will be determined that this system can't exist with any competition. All providers and patients alike must participate or there will be a risk that none will participate.
Once in the exam room the doctor, who doesn't look well himself and is either overworked, depressed, unmotivated or all three, spends more time entering data into a computer terminal then he spends looking at our child. Something more akin to an interrogation than an examination by the doctor finally results in blood tests and a prescription for some pain medication. No anti-virals until they can determine the cause. There's a shortage of medicine after all. No profit means no surplus in an industry that is customarily late-paid a set rate by the federal government. Unfortunately the computer system is down at the time so the prescription will require a paper form in triplicate. After getting the necessary signatures and stamps the unlucky parent will drop off the prescription and head home with a child who is now so exhausted from crying they've lapsed into a fitful slumber.
The other parent will need to leave work early as long as the prescription can be filled on the same day. The only dispensing outlet will be a government run repository, again keeping bankers hours. You see the convenience stores will have since shut down their pharmacies because of the government controlled low profit margins and a continual lack of inventory.
And this is where the rationing of that one tiny bottle begins as we await the results of the blood test before we can get more medicine.
How do you like your Obama-Care now?
I know I like the current system just fine because I wrote this while my son was sleeping.
Whether you thought electing this guy to the Presidency was a good idea or not, this part of his agenda must fail.
