7 things you may not know about me, but then again, knowing me, I'm probably repeating myself.
1) I didn't get my first car until I was 26. I just didn't need it in most of the places I lived up to then, and I can't say I was really keen to start driving. But once I did, I actually loved the freedom it provides. Even if I still would take trains everywhere if I could.
2) I secretly love opera.
3) I distinctly remember my first taste of avocado. It was at my friend Rachel's house - I'd stayed for dinner after elementary school one night and they had salad. With this alien substance called avocado. It cracked my world open thinking that there were these exotic, sophisticated people who had avocado for dinner. In my town. Who knew? I'd never even heard of such a thing before. At my house, salad was limp lettuce, a bit of tomato, some cucumber, green onions (that I didn't like) and maybe some pickled beets (ditto on not liking them). With salad cream that I didn't like either. I did not get a good start in life with salad!
4) I shave my toes every now and then. Yup, hairy toes. Ewwww.
5) I often don't shower at the weekend. Even if I go out and do yard work or something. Sometimes I just like to sit around stinking. It seems like an honest smell. Not that I'd go out in public smelling the place up, you understand. Well, maybe to Winn Dixie where I know I'll be in good company, but nowhere else.
6) I cannot let a day go by without cleaning out my ears with Q-tips. Even though you're not supposed to do that, but I just can't not do it. It gets all nasty feeling if I don't.
7) I was a competitive swimmer when I was a kid. I was a pretty mean backstroker (backstrokist?) if I do say so myself. But laziness won out, and I didn't want to practice twice a day or get up at 5am so I gave it up.
OK, as far as tagging goes, as usual everyone I want to tag has either done this already or probably doesn't read my blog (hmm, maybe I should have posted about my insecurities??). So, consider yourself tagged if you read this and feel like doing it.
In immigration news, I have made my appointment for my medical exam, which is set for next Wednesday. I also dug out old vaccination proofs last night, and of course I don't have them all, so I guess for some things we'll have to test to see if I am immune. Or maybe the doctor will just give me some shots right there and then. I was also horrified to find I had the wrong type of birth certificate, as I only have a short form, and don't have a copy showing my parents names, which apparently I need. I imagined this would involve a lengthy delay, but luckily in the internet age you can order the darn things on line and they'll even try to mail them the next day for an extra fee. Score! So I've ordered a copy from England, and paid the premium processing fee in the hopes that this won't delay things too much. Should be OK, I think.
Aaaand, in hep C news, tomorrow is the day. The day I will know. It was hard to fall asleep last night thinking about everything, so I imagine that tonight will be even worse. Gack. This is it, people. The truth, plain and unvarnished. No more hoping for false positives. A potential IVF delay of over 6 months. Eeeek. I'm pretty nervous now, I have to admit. I feel my heart racing every time I think about it, and have to work to calm myself down. It will all be OK in the end, though. I hope.
ETA: Just in case the fact that this post is dated "Wednesday" and I'm saying "tomorrow is the day" could cause confusion, my appointment is not today. I started the post yesterday, got caught up in work and finished it today. In my defense, it takes a while to think up 7 things! But it looks like it's kept yesterday's date. Just to confirm - the appointment is tomorrow, Friday, and this is Thursday, despite evidence to the contrary. Or I'm in Groundhog Day or something.

Menomonie (WQOW) -- UW-Stout names its new women's basketball coach, Monday, and it's someone familiar to high school and college hoops fans in the area.
Hannah Quilling-Iverson will become the ninth head coach in Blue Devils program history. Quilling-Iverson has worked at the Division I level over the last four years. She hasbeen UW-Green Bay's director of player development for the past two seasons. Prior to that, she held a similar position at the University of Illinois.
Quilling-Iverson played four seasons at UW-Green Bay following an outstanding high school career at Eau Claire North, where she was a two time player of the year in the Big Rivers Conference.
UW-Stout Athletics news release (Monday, April 9, 2018) --
The University of Wisconsin-Stout athletic department has announced Hannah Quilling-Iverson as the next Blue Devils' women's basketball head coach.
Quilling-Iverson has been on staff at UW-Green Bay, her alma mater, as the director of player development for the women's basketball program. Quilling-Iverson played collegiately at UWGB where the Phoenix advanced to the NCAA Division I tournament each year of her playing career.
"I would like to thank athletic director Duey Naatz, Erin Sullivan and the entire search committee for entrusting me with this position," Quilling-Iverson said. "I am excited and honored to have the opportunity to work at this exceptional University. I have the utmost respect for the tradition and all that has been accomplished here and look forward to being a part of this new chapter in the women's basketball program at Stout."
"We are very pleased to have Hannah join our Blue Devil staff to lead the women's basketball program," said Erin Sullivan, associate athletic director and chair of the search and screen committee. "Throughout the search process, Hannah brought a clear passion and understanding of not only the game of basketball, but of life in general."
"I look forward to having a part in developing these young ladies in all areas of their lives," Quilling-Iverson said. "We will have a high level of expectations on the basketball court, but developing young women that are ready to take on the world will be our main goal."
"We are looking forward to having Hannah join our staff and bring her vision to carry the women's basketball program into a successful future," athletic director Naatz said.
Prior to becoming the Blue Devils' head coach, Quilling-Iverson was the director of player development for women's basketball at NCAA Division I UW-Green Bay, a position she began in October, 2016. As well as working directly with the team, Quilling-Iverson managed the program's operating budget, coordinated team travel, co-directed summer camps and clinics and handled all aspects of team film. She assisted in the set-up of on-campus recruiting and coordinating official and unofficial visits for potential recruits. Quilling-Iverson held a similar position - director of basketball operations - at the University of Illinois from 2014-16.
Quilling-Iverson spent two years at NAIA member Ashford University in Clinton, Iowa, as an assistant women's basketball coach for the 2012-14 school years. Quilling-Iverson was in charge of guard development in a season where she helped the Saints to the 2014 Association of Independent Institutions tournament championship, earning Ashford a berth in the NAIA Division II Women's Basketball Championship tournament, the first conference title and appearance in the NAIA D-II tournament in Saints history.
A member of the UW-Green Bay women's basketball team from 2008-12, Quilling-Iverson finished her career in the top 10 for games played as the Phoenix posted a 122-13 record over her four years. The team was 68-4 in Horizon League play and advanced to the NCAA Division I tournament four times, including one trip to the Sweet 16. She led the Horizon League in assist-to-turnover ratio in 2011-12, was sixth in steals per game and ninth in assists per game. She was also named to the Horizon League Honor Roll, earned the UW-Green Bay Chancellor's Leadership Medallion, was a two-time recipient of the UW-Green Bay University Leadership Award and the Patricia Hinckley Scholarship, and won the JoAnne Jennings Award in 2012.
Quilling-Iverson earned her bachelor's degree in Human Biology with an emphasis in health science from UW-Green Bay and her master's degree in Organizational Management from Ashford University.
A native of Eau Claire, Quilling-Iverson played her high school basketball at Eau Claire North where she helped the Huskies to three Big Rivers Conference titles and was a two-time conference player of the year.
Quilling-Iverson will be the ninth person to head up the program. The women's basketball program officially began at UW-Stout in 1971.
Quilling-Iverson and her husband, Ryan Iverson, are the parents of Leo and Myla. Ryan is also a native of Eau Claire and played baseball collegiately at UW-Stevens Point.

From Scientific American's 2006 article on "The Expert Mind:"
Without a demonstrably immense superiority in skill over the novice, there can be no true experts, only laypeople with imposing credentials. Such, alas, are all too common. Rigorous studies in the past two decades have shown that professional stock pickers invest no more successfully than amateurs, that noted connoisseurs distinguish wines hardly better than yokels, and that highly credentialed psychiatric therapists help patients no more than colleagues with less advanced degrees. And even when expertise undoubtedly exists–as in, say, teaching or business management–it is often hard to measure, let alone explain.
Skill at chess, however, can be measured, broken into components, subjected to laboratory experiments and readily observed in its natural environment, the tournament hall. It is for those reasons that chess has served as the greatest single test bed for theories of thinking–the "Drosophila of cognitive science," as it has been called.

We are the Mushuu's. No that is not our real name in any way shape or form. It has been created to protect our identities on the interweb. And so let me introduce you to the Mushuu's from Oz.
Madam Mushuu: That would be me. I am a 20 something Mum with two little kids. I work part time in the Education sector. I love lots of things so I won't list them all here, because that would be dumb and long. I am loud, rude when necessary, lazy, high maintainence, tiring and occasionally stupid. I love my kids, my husband and my life. I believe that everything is put in front of us to test us and if we can overcome struggle we become better people.
Mister Mushuu: Is my wonderful husband. He works too hard for my liking and believes that if he does, he will leave a legacy for his children that will keep them sustained throughout their lives. I think he's mental and that we should plow through the legacy, but whatever. He can be frustrating, he hates stupidity, he is insanely rational which clashes with my jump in emotional personality. He is incredibly loving though and although he has the tough guy act down pat, he really isn't as bad as he appears.
Master Mushuu: Is our beautiful little boy. He is soon to be 6, and is in his first year at big school. He is shy, quiet and gentle. He is a very soft spoken boy, but one who will be a friend for life. He selects his words, actions and friends very carefully. He is a processor. He has to sort through everything in his head before he acts on anything. He is sensitive and affectionate.
Miss Mushuu: Is our baby girl. She is 3 going on 21 and is the direct opposite to her brother in every way conceivable. Where he possess my dark eyes, skin and hair, she has green eyes, is white as snow and has blonde hair. Where he is quiet and shy, she is outspoken and loud. She is not afraid to tell you what she thinks, she has no regard for consequences, and could care less what people have to say.
The Big R: Is my step-son. He is 20 soon, and makes me laugh. He is loving having fun with his life at the moment and works hard to do that. He is a gentle soul, who loves his baby brother and sisters. He is sensible, fun, calculated and quiet.
The Big S: Is my step-daughter. She is 15 going on 25, and has very much the same personality as her sister. She is very outspoken and loves to have fun. She has about 30 best friends and 300 acquaintances. She is very sociable and hasn't been home on a weekend in about 5 years. She makes me laugh and can be a bit mischievous, but I love her.
Chook: Is my baby sister. By baby I mean she is 17 and I am older than her. She has just finished high school and is spending the year out in the world, working, partying and having fun before heading off to University to be a doctor.
Buddah: Is my baby brother. He is 14 and still at school. He will be heading out into the world this year though to train as a diesel mechanic. He is loud, fun and makes me laugh so much.
The old girl: Is my mother-in-law. I love her, but she grates on my nerves from time to time. She is elderly and will soon be moving in with us.
The Boss Lady: Is my Mum. She is the best Mum anyone could ask for. We have had our ups and downs as any parent and their child does, but she still tries to look after me as best she can.
Anyone else that pops into the blog will probably be added here, but if they are a fleeting appearance then they probably won't be. If you know who I am please don't expose me, it is for the safety of my family and for love of my career that I wish to stay anonymous.

DrK's Age of Worms
Merrick O' Fey
Wizard with very little sense of self-preservation
Tall and lean, Merrick has dark black hair and blue eyes. He tends to take on the aspect of whatever vestige he is binding at the moment, making his appearance often bizarre.
Merrick O'Fey is originally from Bissel, where he trained under he tutelage of his mother, a summoner of some consequence. Not only did he develop a keen magical aptitude, he also delved into the forbidden art of binding vestiges.
Bissel was beset by the Scarlet Brotherhood when he was still a child, and Merrick's mother was among the town's defenders. As his father and he made their escape, Merrick would not see his mother alive again.
_"Mother, I regret, left us when I was still a wee one. Said she couldn't let family get in the way of her true goals."
As he approached adulthood, Merrick returned to Bissel in time to see his mother—now a formidable lich—destroyed by an adventuring band led by his father.
Merrick's father slid into depression and never recovered, taking his life a year later. With this dark shadow over his birthplace, Merrick emigrated to the Free City and never looked back.
Becoming an apprentice first, then a full member in the Free City Mage Guild, Merrick's insatiable curiosity has gotten him into more trouble than a single wizard can handle.
It was this curiosity that got him captured by a cadre of doppelgangers intent on infiltrating the Free City. A chance encounter with a group of heroes from Diamond Lake led to his release.
With new allies to keep him (mostly) out of trouble, Merrick finds his thirst for knowledge piqued by this so-called "Age of Worms" the woman Mirriana keeps going on about…

Conventional Deadlift 1 RM
1 Rope Climb
100 m sprint
1 Deadlift (315/205)
*NO weight dropping!
100 banded hamstring curls
Tip of the Day
Let's talk weightlifting. A lot of athletes become consumed with only doing the rx weight. However, from a coaches point of view, it is far more important to have solid form than to move heavy weight. If you struggle at a certain movement, take it way down in weight and work on your form first! You cannot fix poor form under heavy load, that is a recipe for disaster!

Miley Cyrus, you made me laugh when you told Matt Lauer that sex stops for the over-40 set. Oh, I just slapped my knee and guffawed when Lauer revealed he was 55 and you said, "Oh, then you're really, definitely not sexual." Ouchies, Miley! I'm 59. Girlfriend, may I share a hilarious assumption about your age group, too?
First, happy birthday, doll! You'll be 21 on Nov. 23, right? I remember being 21. The red-blooded bloom of hormones makes sex feel like the end all and be all. It's urgent, pressing, and palpable. It feels like your very own invention. Now this may stop you in mid-twerk but the truth is, you haven't discovered anything new. In the big picture, simulating sex on stage may be naughty and exciting to tweeners, but it's a seen-it-before yawn to those in the know.
For an artist, that's a big ouchie since originality is key. I hate to disappoint you, but sexual antics are garden-variety stuff. Nudity may seem bold but hardly novel. Honey, I fear your riding astride naked on a wrecking ball may be a prophetic metaphor.
This is my birthday advice: Too much sizzle leads to fizzle. Don't let this be you!
Yes, I realize you expect such nonsense from someone my age. But too many a young entertainer thinks scandal or sensationalism is necessary to stand out or the only way to leap into a newer, more exciting persona. It's such a predictable march, so are you just another performer goose-stepping along?
Sure, there are many singers who have used shock value with success in their careers. Look at Madonna. I can remember the raging controversies Madonna courted in her early career. (Later in her life, I read that The Material Girl did not allow her own children to watch a lot of TV. Pretty ironic, huh?) But love her or hate her, Madonna endures through talent and for always evolving as an artist. It remains to be seen if you can pull that off over time, too.
But right now I'm a little worried about you.
I know, Miley. Sexuality is a badge worn fearlessly by the new guard, but there are no new sheriffs in town. The law of biology has been in place since the dawn of time, and overt sexual expression dates back to the ancients. Please. I was raised in the sixties and seventies in San Francisco, and today's concerts would pale in comparison to what went on at the music festivals held in Golden Gate Park's Speedway Meadows back in the day.
What is different now is that technology allows for bad judgment to replay to a global audience ad infinitum.
Let me ask you, what is the line between acting out sexual independence versus affirming sexual stereotypes? The Feminist movement was about overcoming limited perceptions, such as women as sex objects. Over forty years ago women said, "No! I'm more than that. Don't presume or impose that on me!" Yet today, a disconnect remains. Today's female message seems to be, "I can choose to be a plaything, and I do!" Are you playing a part in sending that message?
Miley, all I'm saying is that who you think you are at 21 will be very different when you're 30, and more so (Gasp! Horrors!) when you're over 40.
You may think that I (and other fuddy-duddies) don't "get you" because, as you pointed out, interest in sex wanes after 40. Fair point. Kids, career, responsibilities, and yes, the wind-down of the biological clock, bring different things into focus -- like perspective and maturity! Hormones, money, and freedom are a combustible lot. Don't set yourself on fire. Those who stake an identity on sexuality have to keep raising the shenanigans bar to live up to a contrived image. A "whoa buddy" might be in order, somebody who says, "Whoa, buddy! Is that a good idea?"
I do "get you," Miley, more than you realize. The lens of maturity may seem oh-so-boring, but you'll be changing your glasses soon enough. Trust me.
And you're right. Lots of others are doing the same thing, if not worse. So why am I picking on you? On your birthday, no less! Well, I don't want to see you crash and burn. It's getting harder for me to separate the turnoff from your talent, and I fear the blur will be an unfavorable tipping point.
Right again, Miley! Who am I really? Not a celebrity of your stature, not an expert, and for crying out loud, I'm old enough to be your great aunt. In your world, case closed. But I'll still pull rank using that card.
Is it fair to say we project an image of who we think we are? They call you the Queen of Twerk. Oh, Miley, you'd laugh. I had to look it up! I learned that twerking is a sexually provocative, low squatting, up-and-down bounce movement in dancing. The linguists think that twerk may derive from the words, twist and jerk. To me, twerk could derive from a "twenty-something who's a jerk" when referring to the arrogant and immature.
I really like you and your music, Miley, so I'm just sayin'.

Everybody loves a bargain, me included, so on Monday afternoon I got lured into adding AT&T U-Verse fiber optic television, high-speed Internet and digital phone to our current AT&T landline service (we have two lines here). AT&T came up with a mighty fine deal that includes a few bazillion TV channels with all the premium movies, high-definition and a DVR that records up to four programs at the same time. And because AT&T says I'm such a valuable customer they offer to waive the Installation Fee, Receiver Fee and Residential Gateway Fee and promise to send me a pair of Visa gift cards. All this hoo-hah actually costs about $75 a month LESS than we're currently paying altogether for AT&T phone service and Time-Warner cable TV and Internet. So I set up installation for March 18 and can't wait to tell Sam about my brilliant accomplishment.
And then (thankfully) I decide I'd better do a little research.
I make two phone calls and find out from First National Processing that my credit card terminal (pictured below) — which I just replaced in December to be in compliance with new Federal laws — is "dial-up only" and won't work on a fiber optic phone line, and Epson tech support tells me the fax that's built into my new WorkForce 635 printer (the one I ordered last night) isn't compatible with fiber optics, either.
And now a brief rundown of my upcoming activities this week, which include: 1) emptying the dishwasher; 2) getting a mammogram today at 2:30; 3) a quarterly preventive visit from our pest control company on Thursday afternoon; and 4) tweezing my eyebrows. I'm not thrilled about item two, and item four gets harder all the time because I can't see what I'm doing.
Incidentally, next Tuesday morning I'm scheduled for a stress test. My cardiologist's name is Mohammad Khan. Oy.

Averting disaster and other upcoming activities.

Lilly is a 5-6 year old female Crossbreed ( medium in size). She is a good old fashion mongrel. Very sweet girl but can be unsure of things so needs to know it's all okay. Very good on and off lead and just wants to be snuggled. Happy girl who just wants to please once she gets to know you. Cat tested and passed. Lily did go to a home for a few weeks but she didn't tolerate the very elderly terrier in the household.
The previous adopters felt that she needs to be an only dog. However, we have mixed her with many different dogs here and she has always been submissive to them (although her buddies have all been similar size and not elderly or deaf). We think she may have tried to take advantage of the older dogs weakness when she found herself in a loving home. She is vaccinated, wormed, micro chipped.

Ghanaian traders who source their wares in Togo have expressed worry about the recent political unrest in the neighbouring country, saying it has led to a sharp rise in the CFA franc.
Few weeks ago, hundreds of thousands of opposition-alliance supporters took to the streets in several cities across Togo to call for constitutional reform, asking current president, Faure Gnassingbé, who has been in power since 2005, to step down.
This situation, the traders said, is negatively affecting their businesses, as they are unable to buy more goods to retail in Ghana, with the few who are able to restock, left with no option than to increase the prices of their goods.
The West African CFA franc, as of Monday, was trading at GH7.98 and GH?8 for a 1000 CFA, on the black market.
Hajia Salamtu, a trader who deals in ladies' underwear at Tudu in Accra, expressed with frustration, how she is unable to replenish her goods even though she had run out of stock.
"Around the same time last year, the CFA sold at GH?6.50, but now, it is almost GH?8.00 and it is too much. It is killing us, that is why we cannot go and buy our goods.
Also, considering that the Christmas season is approaching, we are even scared the situation will be worse, so something must really be done about it.", she said.
Another retailer, Ayisha Issah, commenting on how the political instability has impacted on her business, expressed similar sentiments, saying, the situation has affected the currency situation badly.
She said: "It was only during the time of the protests that we were short of goods, because we could not enter the country, even though there was demand for our goods. And that is the only way it affected us. But now, we are only worried about the rising cost of the currency."
The situation has not left out operators of the black-market bureaux. Dealers have also raised concerns about the speedy rise of the CFA franc, with some blaming it partly on the political instability of Togo in recent times, while others blame it merely on the economy as a whole.
They noted that because of the high cost of the currency these days, they have lost many customers who are mostly market women.
Another trader, Mallam Iddrisu said: "Our business has been partly affected by the situation there, because even though we make some sale at the end of the day, it is not like before.
It is the market women who buy the CFA, but because of the cost, they don't really come of late, and our business has slowed as a result.
I also think the country's economy is to blame because if the dollar doesn't depreciate in value, the CFA cannot", he added.

What's wild, has 16 legs and wears plaid? Godzilla's Scottish cousin as seen by a myopic drunk? Not this time. It's Boston's gift to musical madness--the Mighty Mighty Bosstones. That wasn't a typo typo. They are doubly mighty-mighty loud, mighty fast, and there are nearly enough of them to make up a baseball team.
The octet is from Boston--Bosstones, get it? I guess they have to laugh at something besides "Cheers," the Patriots and the Red Sox.
The Bosstones have been around long enough for a couple of albums and an EP. They began as a ska band, then added some punk and thrash to end up, as their bio succinctly noted, "a bizarre sort of cross between the English Beat and Megadeth." In plaid.
Then there's frantic front man Dicky Barrett, who jumps around like a chicken with the Colonel in hot pursuit. Then there's his voice, which is part gravel, part sandpaper, part dusty dirt road. Barrett and bass player Joe Gittleman talked to us by phone from Ohio.

BOB Geldof has told how he married his long-term girlfriend in order to "let some light in" after the death of his daughter Peaches.
The Boomtown Rats singer, who has been with his partner Jeanne Marine for 20 years, was left devastated when Peaches died of a heroin overdose in April 2014.
The day after her funeral, Geldof proposed to Marine and the couple tied the knot the following year.
Recalling his attempts to help ease his family's grief, he said: "I married her after my daughter died as things were so dark in our family that I feared for my children's health, never mind mine.
"It happened to be my wife's 50th birthday and we'd been together 25 years, so to let some air into the room, to let some light into the fog, I proposed to her and she married me.
"Though all the family was ruined, she's a wonderful woman.
"But I didn't marry her because of that, I loved her anyway, but here was a celebration of life in the face of the other, and that's what you've got to hold onto."
Speaking to Jarlath Regan on the Irishman Abroad podcast, the 65-year-old also spoke of his lack of belief in an afterlife.
And he said he's comforted by the thought that he can focus on his life rather than worrying about what might happen when he dies.
He revealed: "You've got to say this is better than anything that's coming or out there, in my view there is nothing after this and that's a great relief to me.
"All the time we are something becoming nothing. I find it intriguing.
"I find it refreshing and interesting that this exhausting thing called life is over and it's no more frightening than what you were before you were born."
In a deeply personal interview, the rocker said his experiences so far have led him to realise that "a life without love is completely meaningless".
Geldof has endured more than his share of grief over the years, including the death of his first wife Paula Yates, who was the mother of his three children, Fifi, Peaches and Pixie.
It all started with the death of his mother when he was a child, but he credits his difficult childhood with helping him to discover rock and roll.
His father, a travelling salesman, was often away from home, leaving Bob to fend for himself.
He said he realised from a young age that "things weren't right", and he found himself on a downward spiral as he stopped making an effort in school.
He revealed: "You're desperate to find a way out of it. I would always imagine myself going away to find a way out.
"Into that came the one thing that made any sense to me, rock and roll."
Refusing to go to university, he said he "mooched around the world, from job to job, trying to get to a point where I could change the hopelessness of what I considered my life to be, and it ended up of course that I had been right back when I was ten or 11, that this thing of rock and roll was the way I could do it."
After spending time on social welfare in Dublin, he formed the Boomtown Rats and the group had their first UK No1 in 1978 with Rat Trap.
Their rise to fame was swift, with two No1's and a major tour completed within 18 months of him being on the dole.
Yet, despite his delight at being a success, Geldof admitted he was haunted by the pressure of doing well in order to keep people in their jobs.
Reaching the top of the charts was like getting to "the mountain top", but he felt he only had "five minutes to pause" before he started working on the next hit.
Giving an insight into the stress of making it big, he said: "It's so intense.
There isn't a second of the day when you're not travelling in a van or — we all lived together in one house in the suburbs of London — where you're not on planes, where you're not doing interviews, when you're not rehearsing, when you're not recording, when you're not writing, it's exhausting, and yet you can't stop for a second.
"It really is the young man or young woman's gig." The pressure was intensified by his record company, which pushed him to deliver another hit song. He said: "The problem with rock and roll is it's so transitory.
"The only way is down. How do you keep this going? The other part of you is saying, 'just shut up and enjoy it'. But you can't because the record company, who are your friends, got on and said: "We've got to have a follow-up Bob.
"What have you got?" Nothing is what I've got. You suddenly realise, because you're the one who can write the songs, there's loads of people's jobs dependent on you now.
"Not just the band but the road crew, the record company, and suddenly it's not fun. There's this responsibility to keep the whole show, the office people, on the road.
"They turn to you and say, 'what have you got?' Nothing. The sinking feeling is huge and you begin to panic."
The legendary showman admitted he was consumed by the charts and constantly comparing the band's sales and reviews to other bands.
Yet he eventually learned to stop worrying about it all, and now focuses solely on making music purely for enjoyment. insisting: "Now I don't care. I just don't care. I couldn't care less about the charts. I don't care what anybody else is doing.
"I love my music, I think it's great. I think the shows are great, the band are great. Now I'm loving it but that just could be a function of age."
These days Bob is far better known for his political activism and attempts to convince world powers to ease Third World debt.
His first major project — Live Aid — was hugely successful in raising funds to tackle the 1985 famine in Ethiopia.
However, he said he only began to look at world hunger as a political problem after he was criticised for failing to tackle the lack of development in Third World countries.
He said: "That stung me. I just thought about it and they were right."
He then set up meetings with several world leaders to "trigger a trebling or a doubling of the money people had sent."
It was the start of a foray into politics that would see him teaming up with Bono and U2, using their celebrity status to gain access to powerful people.
He explained: "We began to have access to a generation of leaders who watched Live Aid as young men — Bill Clinton, Tony Blair."
Their efforts eventually led to the setting up of the One campaign, an international movement aimed at ending poverty.
These days he is focused on humanitarian projects, including his role on the Africa Progress panel with Kofi Anan.
The multi-millionaire businessman is also chairman of a private equity firm which invests in Africa.
Yet despite rubbing shoulders with the world's most powerful people, he insisted: "I prefer to be on stage, playing with the band."


text: If you just watch the evening news, you might think think this was wonderful news. GM paying back its debt is great, right? Except that it is all smoke and mirrors. It is ironic in a grim sort of way: the banks, ground zero for the collapse, seem to be on their way to getting their loans repaid, and some of them are in such very deep trouble that nobody will talk about it. GM is using borrowed money to pay their debts in order to borrow more.

European Union official has called for action against internet companies that harvest personal data, as Brussels prepares to move against those spreading "fake news" following the Cambridge Analytica revelations.
Sir Julian King, the European commissioner for security, wants "a clear game plan" on how social media companies are allowed to operate during political campaigns to be ready for the 2019 European elections.
The European commission's digital strategy, to be outlined this month, has been given new impetus by the Cambridge Analytica scandal, in which whistleblowers revealed that the data of 50 million Facebook users ended up in the hands of political consultancies for use in Donald Trump's US election campaign and the UK's EU referendum.
In a letter seen by the Financial Times, King wrote that the "psychometric targeting activities" such as those of the data analysis company are just a "preview of the profoundly disturbing effects such disinformation could have on the functioning of liberal democracies".
King, the UK's final European commissioner, is calling for limits on the harvesting of personal information for political purposes, more transparency on the internal algorithms that internet platforms use to promote stories, as well as disclosure by technology companies of who funds sponsored content on their websites.
His ideas are set out in a letter to Mariya Gabriel, the digital economy commissioner, who is leading the EU's response to fake news.
The French president, Emmanuel Macron, has already promised a law to ban fake news during election campaigns.
On Monday, Malaysia became one of the first countries in the world to introduce such a law, despite being urged by the UN not to rush the measures. Under the legislation, offenders could be sentenced to up to six years in prison. It has prompted fears of a clampdown on free speech before a general election.
King has previously called on the EU to redouble its efforts to debunk "pro-Kremlin disinformation", and cited the work of the EU's counter-propaganda unit.

TREVOSE, PA – May 4, 2009- The Advantages Roadshow, managed by The ASI Show, announced today that preliminary numbers show 707 distributors and 60 supplier companies participated in the tour's Great West week, part of the 18-week 2009 schedule.
The largest and best-attended traveling show in the advertising specialty industry consistently delivers more attendees than other traveling shows. Over 11,000 distributors, suppliers and decorators attended the ASI Advantages Roadshows in 2008. To date, 6,895 distributors have attended the first 10 weeks of Advantages Roadshows.
Distributors in Salt Lake City, Denver, Albuquerque, Tucson and Phoenix spent time with leading suppliers introducing the latest advertising specialties.
The Advantages Roadshow was co-located with the Stitches Roadshow in Denver. Attendees and exhibitors experienced two shows in one, providing decorators with opportunities to meet equipment, software, supply and service providers face-to-face, see new wearables vendors, enjoy valuable education and network with other decorators.
The impressive exhibitor list included:
A total of 184 attendees also enjoyed free education designed to help them sell in any economic environment. Sessions included "Getting Started in the Advertising Specialty Industry," for new distributors who want to sell promotional products; the "Exhibitor Presents" session, featuring hot products; and the "Build Your Distributorship through Better Marketing" session, which provides expert marketing tips.
All distributors are invited to attend the Advantages Roadshow for free, and can either register on-site with a business card or can pre-register on each city's link here to receive exclusive exhibitor specials and show updates in advance. Suppliers interested in exhibiting may contact Nick DiNicola, at email@example.com, or their ASI Show rep, at 1-877-ASI-SHOW.
The Advantages Roadshow now moves on to visit Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Burlington and London, Canada May 4-8 (Canada East). Click here to register and to see the entire exhibitor list, which includes these respected industry suppliers:
"The Advantages Roadshow targets 130,000 industry distributor salespeople from more than 22,000 ASI distributor companies," said Timothy M. Andrews, president of The ASI Show. "Suppliers can easily meet hundreds of distributors each week and that's more than they could meet through personal phone calls in the same amount of time."
Reactions from attendees have been positive.
"We had a great week. The Advantages Roadshow really allowed us to spend quality face time with a large number of clients and prospects – more than we could see making traditional sales calls," said supplier Melissa Hoffman, of Hufferman Inc., asi/62017. "We were pleasantly surprised with the number of new contacts we made right in our own backyard."
"For us, it's all about making connections – and learning about innovative ways to better our business," said distributor Arvon Rosenhan of A and B Associates, Salt Lake City. "The Advantages Roadshow provides a quality environment to spend real time with leading suppliers and hot-topic education that I can apply to my business."

Alcoholism is an epidemic in society today, and is a problem facing many in Neosho, MO. Alcohol is in fact a drug, the most commonly used and widely abused in the world. Alcohol addiction causes many problems, and people that abuse alcohol are more likely to become violent, struggle with their career and have problems in their relationships. Alcoholism can literally destroy your life.
Consuming alcohol is a common and acceptable practice in Neosho. The problem with alcohol addiction and alcoholism begins when consumption crosses the line from moderate drinking, to having to consume alcohol to avoid feeling bad or to feel comfortable in social situations. Alcohol addiction and alcoholism may be triggered by an individual's environment, the people he's associating with, etc. Whatever the case may be, if alcohol is being used in excess and an individual doesn't have enough control to put down that drink despite the consequences, there is a problem.
For someone in Neosho, Missouri who is involved in alcohol addiction or alcoholism, it is very easy to justify drinking habits and be in complete denial that there is a problem. But if a person is continuing to drink despite the health risks involved and the destruction that is being created in their life, it is time for them to seek help or for someone to intervene and help the person see that there is a problem. It may seem easier to pretend that nothing is wrong, but the longer a person continues his addictive behavior the worse off he will be in the long run.
Treatment for alcohol addiction and alcoholism in Neosho is available for individuals who know they have a problem and have the courage to face their issues with alcohol. There are a number of Alcohol Addiction Rehabilitation Centers in the area. At an Alcohol Addiction Treatment Facility individuals can be in an environment where they can address the psychological and emotional issues that may have caused their alcoholism.
Alcoholism has taken its toll when an individual drinks so heavily for a long duration, that when alcohol is taken away withdrawal sets in. Withdrawal symptoms can include shakiness or trembling, fatigue, irritability and loss of appetite for example. Alcohol withdrawal can be overcome by going through a supervised alcohol detoxification as part of treatment at an Alcohol Abuse Rehab Facility in Neosho, MO.

A lone bell symbolizes the damage of the EF4 tornado in New Minden.
After so much news along the old Route 66, are we surprised to see where these tornadoes struck?
The town of Washington and New Minden, Washington County, in two parts of the State of Illinois, were deeply involved in the tornado strikes on Sunday, November 17, 2013.
The Washington County Coroner's Office in southern Illinois has confirmed two deaths attributed Sunday's EF4 tornado that touched down in the New Minden area.
Joseph R. Hoy, 80 and his sister Frances J. Hoy were killed Sunday as a result of a tornado that touched down in the New Minden, Illinois area. The Hoy's lived on a farm in the 14000 block of Eagle Road that was completely destroyed.
Josephs Hoy died from massive head trauma, he was located in a field about 100 yards from his home. His sister Frances died at the Washington County Hospital, from injuries suffered from the tornado.
Meanwhile, southwest of Chicago, the town of Coal City was hit by a confirmed EF2 tornado, determined after an initial NWS survey of the area.
One death was also reported in Brookport, in Massac County, Illinois, according to Charles Taylor, deputy director, Massac County Emergency Management. Taylor added the town was heavily damaged and numerous injuries have been reported.
The town of Washington, in Tazewell County, Illinois, appeared particularly hard-hit, with one resident saying his neighborhood was wiped out in a matter of seconds by a tornado.

Dolphins rookie quarterback Pat White was carted off the field with a head injury Sunday after a chilling helmet-to-helmet collision with Steelers cornerback Ike Taylor.
White moved his arms and legs and was talking before leaving the field to go to a hospital for examination.
"The information that we have is that he's doing OK," Dolphins coach Tony Sparano said.
White landed on his stomach after the collision in the third quarter, and Steelers players immediately began waving for help.
The collision came at the end of a 7-yard gain on a keeper by White. Taylor was unhurt.
Patriots' Welker hurts knee.
New England receiver Wes Welker injured his left knee in the first quarter of a 34-27 loss to Houston.
Welker caught a pass from Tom Brady on New England's first possession and his knee appeared to buckle as he turned upfield.
Coach Bill Belichick did not have an update on Welker's status after the game.
Cowboys' Choice suffers concussion.
Cowboys running back Tashard Choice was knocked out of Dallas' 24-0 win over the Eagles with a concussion after a first-quarter hit.
Based on stricter NFL guidelines instituted late this season, a concussion likely would keep Choice out of the Cowboys' opening playoff game.
NFL studies helmets.
The league is searching for a safer helmet and considering offseason rule changes to provide more protection from concussions.
NFL officials say the goal is to do basic scientific research that will give players and equipment managers more information about helmets and will help manufacturers know where they could improve equipment.
"The majority of players are still wearing helmets designed in the '90s," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello wrote in an e-mail to The Associated Press. "That's a key reason we wanted to initiate more research on helmets."
Texans to extend QB Schaub's contract
HOUSTON — The Texans will exercise an option in Matt Schaub's contract that will give the quarterback a $10 million bonus and extend his contract for the next three years.
Schaub led the league in yards passing with a franchise-best 4,770 (sixth-most in NFL history) in helping Houston (9-7) to its first winning record.

We roll the stone of poetry, and thus
transmute the base metal of suffering
into a golden scrim of rare device,
a fitting gift to be returned to God.
By it we know that all our trivial pain
is just a carlacue in a design
beyond ourselves, already perfect (with
the possible exception of ourselves).
Through it we join the perfection, and see
the glory spread before us, and we hear
profound celestial music, and we feel
the wind of the divine, and have our peace.

Gordon Brown boasted at Prime Minister's Questions this week of Labour's introduction of the Winter Fuel Payment. What he neglected to mention was how far its original value has been eroded by inflation and recent extreme price rises.
In fact, it now it only just pays for a quarter of a pensioner's fuel bills.
The amount of the Winter Fuel Payment has been frozen at £200 for
five years.
Commenting, Liberal Democrat Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary, Danny
Alexander said:
"As fuel bills rise, thousands of older people won't be able to afford to
heat their homes this winter.
"While the cost of heating homes has rocketed and the value of the basic
state pension has plummeted, the Government has frozen the Winter Fuel Payment at £200 for five years.
"The Liberal Democrats would restore the earnings link to pensions to ensure older people would be better off."

Next up is a story in today's Globe about a coach (male) who is accused of groping his female basketball team.
I wrote here a few weeks (months) ago about a female teacher in Florida who has a long affair with a teenager who was underage, even going so far as to have sex with him in a truck while his cousin drove. The woman didn't receive any jail time just home confinement (supposedly the judge rejected this sentence however I haven't heard anymore about this incident).
Finally we all can't forget the story of the Letourneau woman who had an affair with one of her students, went to jail (had a baby), got out, had sex with the youth again, finally served her time in prison and then when she got out married the student who is now of legal age.
What do these stories have to do with anything? Well, they are all terrible stories (and there are many more) about adults taking advantage of youth. The reason I mention them is because Article 8/Massresistance doesn't report about any of these. They talk about one incident that was in the news where the abuser pleaded guilty and didn't receive any jail time. But because the abuser and the victim were the same sex it is, to them, more of a crime than the above crimes. They are very selective with the stories they highlight.
Brian Camenker is listed in the Agape Press (yes, they are so credible aren't they!) as a pro-family:
A homosexual teacher in Massachusetts who admitted to raping one of his teenage students and possessing child pornography has escaped jail time. A Waltham-basedNow Brian Camenker, and Article 8 for that matter, is supposed to be "pro family" what exactly are they doing for the family? Where are they spending money to actually help families? What causes do they support that actually supports families, and I'm not talking about gay families either. Every thing Article 8 does is about homosexuality, they don't care about families. They have not done anything which would even support a family with a mother and a father. They supposedly raise funds to keep their work going but what work is that? It's work to bring down the judges. Their money isn't going to actually people. Which family do you think is benefiting from the money that gets donated? Article 8 is definitely ANTI-family.
pro-family leader says the case is yet another indication that most judges in his state are in league with homosexual activists.

(Pictured L-R: Jarod Sinahon '17, Anthony Frawley '17, Miller Corrigan '17, Justin Horbacz '16, Chris McHeffey '17, John Dyer '17, Isaac Mercado '18)
CBA boys swam "Meters for Mike" this morning in Belmar.
"1500 Meters for Mike" is a one-mile open water swim that squarely rests on two pillars: advocating and raising money for those living with brain trauma. For the past two years "1500 Meters for Mike" has been the largest open water swim along the New Jersey shoreline. In past years, a little over 600 swimmers braved the mild surf and temperate waters to swim for a noble cause.

Lumina Issues Affordability Benchmark to Reset National Conversation About College Affordability - Lucia Anderson Weathers, Lumina
With college costs rising and students' debt load mounting, there's a growing national debate over how to make higher education affordable. What's missing from the conversation is a clear and common understanding of what "affordable" means to students and families. To address that gap and reset the conversation around college affordability, Lumina Foundation today released the Affordability Benchmark for Higher Education—a framework that clearly defines college affordability in terms of what families and students can and should pay. By establishing a shared definition of affordability, the benchmark sets the stage for policymakers and higher education institutions to work together to build a system that's affordable for every student. It also enables students and their families to better understand –and plan for –the financial realities of college. http://www.luminafoundation.org/news-and-events/affordability-benchmark

Alternative Energy Forum 3 December 2014 at Hilton hotel, Windhoek
Also available in Deutsch
On 3 December 2014, the Konrad Adenauer Foundation organised an Alternative Energy Forum at the HiIton Hotel in Windhoek. This event was a follow-up on a similar event also organised by the Konrad Adenauer Foundation on 13 Novemebr 2014, which focussed on the "Kudu-Gas-to-Power" project.
The aim of the latest event was to enrich the discussion and public knowledge with a chain of arguments that had not been mentioned during the first event. The presentations and proceedings focussed on the to be expected economic impact of the project in terms of rapid rises in the price per kW/h for the consumer and necessary state-guarantees resulting in a strain for tax-payers' money; furthermore the forum discussed the question, whether there are viable alternatives or not. The discussions that ensued were very fulfilling and constructive.
The tenor among the presentations was that given the high risks in terms of technical realisation and financial impact, it is much more beneficial for the country to focus on decentralised, renewable energy options than to invest in "Kudu-Gas-to-Power". Siseho Simasiku, previous Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Mines and Energy and for 14 years CEO of the Electricity Control Board expressed strong reservations against the planned project on behalf of the Consumer Advocates Electricity (CAE).
Despite very short notice, the forum enjoyed a very good attendance and triggered a considerable echo in the media. The two events are two of many planned on the subject of climate change and energy solutions for the future.

I hate the big, impersonal, multiplex cinemas though. I have my two favourite local cinemas and I often make my movie choice based on what they are showing. I also love going in the middle of the day when you share the experience with only a handful of others. Less chance of irritating, ungrateful teenagers who have no concept of the fact that you have handed over the equivalent of a day's groceries, to eat maltesers and sit in a sticky seat while they chatter and text behind you.
So with a 14 month old and two tweenies it is rare these days for me to go to a movie of my choice. I am frankly over the animated tripe and the slapstick comedies on offer.
Today miss i had a Pupil Free Day (read four day long weekend). So as a treat we went to the movies together. I planned the 11am session with the hopes that I could breastfeed master x and he would fall asleep in the dark. Plan worked a treat so I sat back and enjoyed the beautiful scenery in the movie Letters to Juliet. I loved that it portrayed beautiful, older actors which seems to be coming into vogue with the likes of the gorgeous Meryl Streep. The plot was light on, but I was more interested in the gorgeous Italian architecture and gardens.
And soaking up the loveliness of his downy blonde hair against my chest, and her snuggling up to me on her day off.

The Landscape Institute conference was a fantastic experience especially as it was free! Definately a brillant opportunity for students as this year 30 places were paid for by the sponsers to allow students the oppportunity to attend this fantastic event.
The experience was a little overwhelming and certainly well worth it. For those not so good at taking notes in lectures the presentations were subquently uploaded to the L.I. website.
The focus of this years conference was climate change. Speakers presented an enormous diversity of topics from ecotherpy to edible landscapes. Presenting shocking statistics and facts but overall conveying optimisism, ideas and inspiration pushing us to design in more sustainable ways.
Leaving me questioning why we are not putting more effort into be more innovative and forward thinking, I guess they make it sound easier than it really is!
An added bonus was the dinner on day one, which was great for networking. I admit I need to work on this skill! Didnt talk to as many professionals as I should have but had fun chatting to other students from around the country.
It was nice to be in an environment where you arent having to explain landscape architecture every five minutes! And to finish the students were taken on a walk by the fabulous Tim Waterman through the Kings Cross area. The walk included Johh Nash, Cambly Nature Park, a peabody estate and my fav the Hardy Tree All followed by a well deserved pint (yes this year is driving me to drink!)


text: Hello classmate this is Amy Song, she is currently a Biology major. This is her 2yrs at CSULB. Amy is a really nice person who loves animals and has 3 dogs of her own. Amy wants to be a veterinarian. As a child she took art classes and she talented when it come to art. So as you can assume Amy believes art is important subject in today's world. Amy says art lets people know what you consider art. Amy also mentioned that we project art all around us and it brings like minded people together. Art bring people together to social event which lets people state their opinion and share a different point of view that some may not have seen or notice. As we talked more and more Amy was began to tell me that she doesn't think there isn't enough importance on art in school currently. Art should be factorized more since it opens up people minds to new and amazing ideals. It also helps people see a piece of art from multiple perspectives. Amy did have a rebuttal art has been long before us and will be here long after us.

I'm posting this for my local artist/naturalist friend Juen Hutchinson who is pulling the ineptoid card re her computer abilities.
Hi Carey,
I just wanted to thank you again for helping me find a hotel in Rio Lagartos. The Hotel San Felipe was great. The owners, Jesus and Graciella were most accommodating. They even called in the cooks early so we could feast on fresh lobster (200 pesos) and shrimp(120 pesos). The kitchen didn't open until 7 but they had food in front of us at 6. Graciella made guacamole with some avocados I had carried in on your advice about the scarcity of food, so that held us over until the platters of seafood arrived in front of us. The platters were generous, so much so that they put the leftover seafood in the frig and saved it for our eggs in the morning. They couldn't do enough for us.
Jesus recommended a tour group in Rio Lagartos and called them so I could make the arrangements. $700 pesos for 5 of us for a 3 hour tour. The guide spoke ecotour English and was very professional. His name was Gabriel and he worked for Ismael Navarro at Isla Contoy restaurant. When we drove over to Rio the afternoon before (to check it out for the next morning) all kinds of guys were trying to sell us tours but Gabriel's dad met us at the outskirts of town the next morning at the appointed time. He had my name and how many people and all so we weren't swayed to go with a cheaper company. Ismael has invested in training his guides and it showed, our guide was excellent and we saw about 300 flamingos and other birds I had never seen before.
You were right about the scarcity of food and lodging there. It was bleak and we were really glad we had brought a stock in with us. The big hotel I had stayed at in Rio 20 years ago was closed and the town was dirty and all those guys were stopping us and trying to sell us tours. San Felipe was clean and had the cutest wooden Caribe style houses. Jesus kept checking with us to make sure we were happy and explained the hotel was a family operation. Indeed, his son had just started a fly fishing business at the hotel and there were people there from the states that were fishing.
The rooms were $570 but they had a gulf view and 3 beds each. The box springs were "Mexican style" but the rooms were clean and they obviously took great pride in their family business. Jesus and Graciella didn't speak much English but the waitstaff did and the son did. I give it two enthusiastic thumbs up! Thanks again and feel free to share this info with anyone interested in going up there. Gabriel said May is the best month to see the flamingos as they are nesting then. Juen

Because of its location within the Northern arid belt, Dubai has a sweltering desert temperature Summers are excessively hot and humid, its high around 41 °C and in night lows around 30 °C .The topmost recorded heat is 52.1 °C. Most days are bright throughout the year. Winters are warm and short. However, has been rising in the last few years. The weather can bring short and capricious rainfall as is common. Most of the rainfall appears in the December to March… The weather between December and March remains warm and is treated to be the most convenient climatic.
If you live in Dubai for a year cycle, you can definitely recognize a pattern of weather changes. In August, classify as "impossibly hot" in Oct and Nov, then on to " frosty" of Dec, January and February, then warming up again March to May, and June through August. Throughout this twelve month cycle, sandstorms, rain and even snow.
When summer heat gets to a particular point in many countries – surely above 30°C, most of us are recognizable with the circumstance of tar melt. The black, tacky stuff used to bind the roaring goods together begins to liquefy, with awful result for matting in the home, if any of it gets onto the base of shoes. This doesn't arise on UAE. Must be something to do with the mix used, or a help of latest research and materials, but even at 50°C, there's little sign of the apprehended tar melt.
But something else takes place at much lower temperatures – commonly the mid 20s identify with winter and the winter rain flood. The water seems to clemency a thin, oily film onto the outer of the road, which makes it lethal when mixed with speed, if brakes are abruptly applied.
Dubai enjoys an arid semitropical climate, with blue clear skies and bright sunshine all year round. The humid months are between June and September, when heat can soar to 113°F and more during the day and evaporation levels are very up. Even the sea temperature touches on 104°F during the summer, and swimming pools at hotels are commonly cooled to be refreshing. Temperatures are only lightly more balanced the rest of the year, the frosty time being between December and March with heat between 57°F and 77°F. There is very insufficient rainfall in Dubai, but when showers do fall it is primarily in the cooler months.

Music vandalism brings tears to my eyes!
WHEN I heard this yarn it almost brought a tear to my eye at the tragic music loss involved.
I was certainly prompted to check my own store of old 78 records almost for reassurance that they were still there because this is a tale of playfulness and the cost involved for a few seconds of fun.
The scene is Littlemoor in Weymouth some years ago and a bunch of feisty kids out in the countryside.
There were no such things as Frisbees in those days but similar inventiveness was richly available and the youngsters had simply grabbed a few handfuls of old 78s and gone out to skim them across the fields with the inevitable smashing results.
SMASH! went one of Glen Miller's finest, CRASH! went Elvis and BASH! went Frank Sinatra, recordings which now must be worth considerable sums of money.
So you might think the youngsters committing this music vandalism had no sense of value, no appreciation for music… but you'd be wrong.
One of those children - now a 56-year-old - said they did keep a single 78 "because we were kids and we didn't want anything to happen to it". The recording in question was Sparky's Magic Piano. Well, they were kids!
Islanders furious at precept proposal… and so they should be
IF Portlanders needed something to stir them up then suggesting their council tax precept should go up by 1,000 per cent was bound to provoke a strong reaction.
Already firmly convinced that Portland doesn't get the same crack of the whip that Weymouth does, islanders are furious at the precept proposals to boost coffers even if the money is destined for island use.
When all is said and done I can understand their feelings because paying £32 for a pint of beer, £70 for a taxi in to town or £60 for a simple haircut is only the same style increase as that being proposed for the precept, up from £14 to £150.
A town council meeting tonight must sort this one out, but islanders are seething and a few hangings in effigy can be expected not to mention some very vocal offerings at the meeting.
Not for the first time, the way this concept has been carried out has seen councillors come in for heavy criticism and surely those in power have to wake up sooner or later to the fact that the way they sometimes carry things out is flawed and needs changing.
Lack of communication has been at the root of many past complaints and it has reared its head again over the precept. Something has to be done to rectify so simple a failing but I'm not holding my breath.
I think tonight's people power may drive the point home and it seems likely that proposals for just a two per cent precept increase may win the day.
Anyone for nuts?
ANYONE for peanuts? Surely someone out there must want some?
Well, to be honest, someone out there doesn't want peanuts because they're throwing them out to feed squirrels who need no second invitation to boost their winter food stores.
Unfortunately squirrels are also notorious for burying their snacks ready to be retrieved when winter times get hard.
We watched in disbelief as one squirrel came into our garden and right up to the window, bold as brass, where it inspected our pots of flower displays before selecting one to bury its peanut in.
A couple of indignant bangs on the glass sent it hastily packing, but this is just one squirrel we happened to spot. How many more of them are there out there that we've missed seeing burying peanuts in our garden?
I know it happens because last summer, busily weeding the vegetable patch, I pulled up a plant I hadn't seen before to discover it had sprouted from a squirrel's buried peanut.
Thank God they don't have sequoia seeds at their disposal!
Marmalade or chutney?
PREGNANT women have been known to crave weird dishes such as fish cakes and custard and finicky children can sometimes be coaxed into having something to eat using unusual ingredients.
But I've never come close myself to being served one of these concoctions… until now.
I'm currently recovering at home from a cancer operation and one of my diet requirements is to eat small and varied portions for my meals so surgical wounds in my stomach are not strained by too large amounts of food.
All had been going well until a breakfast incident made me openly laugh, not a good idea as it provokes certain bodily reactions we won't go in to here.
The reason for my laughter was that my wife, heroically caring for me and fighting life on all fronts practically on her own, is well known for not being at her best in the early morning.
So this morning in question she had brought me my toast and marmalade….but she had to turn round, take it back and produce another lot for me.
Why? Well she'd been on bleary auto pilot and it was only as she brought the toast in to me that she realised that the jar of marmalade she'd used had actually been a jar of pungent chutney!
If I'd consumed that I'd have had no problem going to the loo for a while!

Many people think that following a low carb diet or lifestyle is expensive. While it is true that many foods on a low carb diet such as Atkins or South Beach can be pricey, there are certain low carb, high protein foods that are relatively cheap. In this economy of high unemployment rates, underemployment and everything in between, you can still follow the low carb lifestyle and not break the bank.
The following is a list of low-carb foods that are inexpensive:
Eggs are cheap and are often on sale. Stock up and you can enjoy a variety of egg dishes.
Cream Cheese
I find no difference in taste between the generic and brand name versions of cream cheese. Cream cheese can be used on jalepenos, celery, is often used in many low carb recipes and can even be used on crackers if you watch the carb counts.
Iceburg Lettuce
Salads are a great way to get your vegetables while on a low carb diet. Iceburg lettuce is very low in carbohydrates and is usually less than a dollar a head.
Chicken Thigh Quarters
Chicken Thigh Quarters are generally much less than chicken breasts. This is because thigh quarters are not as desired, therefore stores much put them on sale in order to sell them. I have seen chicken leg quarters on sale for 69 cents a pound or even less.
Celery is a low carb vegetable and can be used in soups, salads, or eaten with cream cheese for a snack. It is also inexpensive.
Green Peppers
Where I live green peppers are less costly than other types of peppers. You can stuff them, eat them with cream cheese, mix it in salads, or use as a filler in other recipes. I often see green peppers on sale for 33 cents where I am, but prices can be different in your state and whether they are in season or not.
A low carb food that is often overlooked. Cabbage by itself might not be your favorite food, but can be mixed with beef to make a low carb casserole or you can even look up recipes for low carb coleslaw. I recently saw it on sale for 39 cents.
Canned soup contains an incredible amount of carbs, but did you know that broth bought in a box contains zero carbs? Just heat for a few mintues on the stove, add the ingredients, and enjoy! I bought a generous sized box of broth recently for less than a dollar. Beef and chicken are available at stores.
Avoid the processed and packaged seeds. Instead, buy them in bulk and do the de-seeding yourself. Flax seed is very cheap as is sunflower seeds. These foods are usually filled with fiber and you can easily mix in your other foods or eat alone as a snack.
Meat is going to be the most expensive part of low carbing, however, if you know how to look for the cheaper cuts, then you will save a lot of money. Also consider starting a garden and growing your own vegetables. There are kits called Earth Boxes that are not expensive and that do all the watering for you, making it virtually impossible to kill what you grow. The vegetables you grow means less at the grocery store. You could even sell excess vegetables and make yourself a nice little profit!

Children's education was once touted as a success in this new democracy. Within two years of the 2001 overthrow of the Taliban, who banned girls' education, officials boasted that 5.1 million children of both sexes were enrolled in state schools, including hundreds of village tent-schools erected by Unicef.We are losing the forgotten war as well.
Now that positive tide has come to a halt in several provinces where Taliban insurgents are battling Nato troops, and has slowed dramatically in many other regions. President Hamid Karzai said last week that some 200,000 Afghan children had been forced out of school this year by threats and violence.

Gold Strike trip report/question
March 2004
Thanks to the info ive learned here on this site, I had an interesting trip over the weekend to The Gold Strike.
I arrived with a comfortable bankroll based on my expected play using wt's progression. I bought in with $100 and played a 5-12.50 progression. As it was my first trip I wasnt overly comfortable so I stuck with the 5 base unit wager. Fortunately that 100 buy in was the only time I used my own loot to buy in the rest of the weekend. Ended Fri. up about 50 bucks after about 6 hrs of play and some free grub to boot.
Sat was up and down. I felt a bit more comfortable and stuck to the 10 tables playing wt's 10-25 prog. I got lucky early doubling my buy in within the first hour or so. After that the cards ebbed and flowed a little more than they had previously. I had some GREAT luck as it got late and I was the only one at the table. I was down to about 15 of my first 100 buy in and turned it into over 300 in ONE SHOE! Dealer was dealing fast so I had to pay attention but when it was all said in done and I had time to breath I realized what great luck I had. I was very skeptical of prog. betting of any kind but after reading posts on this site I began to allow myself to believe that BJ may be in fact a game of streaks with no hard logic backing that up. Im not fully convinced but Im getting there.
What Id like to hear some feedback on is what I was informed by 2 of the pit boss' working fri night. Apparently Gold Strike has changed their comp policy regarding red chippers. "No matter how long you play, you wont be credited with more than 3 hrs of play." I was religious with my players card flopping it down every time I entered a new table and I was more than a bit irritated when I was told that basically half of my time at the tables fri. night were not even considered. I got my meals comped so I waited to climb the heirarchy until sat. night. Sat. night after asking the casino host "I play 20 a hand. Sell me why I should ever come back here again" he comped my sat. room. So I dropped the issue. Is this becoming casino policy?? I dont expect anything great on the vegas strip, but I did expect to have my room comped at least partially playing 15-20/hand in TUNICA. Just curious if im way off with that expectation.
Take care

Newatthis: Glad my system worked for you. (Note: It doesn't ALWAYS work.)
Truism: If you don't get the comps you expect, ASK for them, politely. If the pit boss is unresponsive, try a casino host. My hostess at Gold Strike was very helpful and generous after a bit of "smoozing."
March 2004
Walter I have to day that I just read your book and I am ready to try it. I was going to buy the book after hearing about it on this site, but low and behold I already had it and had not read it. Don't know what I was waiting for. Anyway, I do have a question about comps. I am not a slot or VP player at all, strictly tables, can I still get comps through a host if I feel I am not getting enough from the pit bosses or do i need to feed the machines? I am by all means not a high roller, I play anywhere from red to green, depending on how the cards are falling. Any advice from anyone?
Walter Thomason
March 2004
DIE8: Sure. I don't play the slots and only a little VP, and I get comps everywhere I play. Just be sure the pit is tracking your play. In fact, don't even start playing until the pit takes your player's card.
Hope you enjoy the book.
March 2004
Not getting credited with red chip play over 3 hours doesn`t sound to me like a very good policy by the casino. Hopefully that Pit Boss didn`t know what he was talking about or maybe you didn`t understand him. I thought the casinos loved players that played longer sessions , no matter what color chips are played.
A guy once told me that a casino wanted players to play 4 hours because they felt that was how long it would take them to get all the money , you brought to the casino.
March 2004
I agree with you in fact I told the pit boss as much. I am positive that this is their "new" policy. I talked to the casino host desk as well as 3 pit managers about this.....all said the same thing. "we have a new policy....i cant say i agree with it but if your playing 24 a hand or less, you will be rated for 3 hours of play regardless of how long you are actually playing."

New Lutheran Quote of the Day
But church fellowship is by definition something to do with churches. It cannot "compute" footloose individuals except by derivation from and connection to churches. The normative marks, after all, attach to and identify not individuals but the church.—Prof. Kurt Marquart, The Church, p. 46.
