I'm not gonna sit here and tell you that Halloween ISN'T all about the candy. I mean, trick-or-treating is a HUGE tradition...as are all the yummy, sugary concoctions that are routinely the staples of any good Halloween party.
However, if you're watching your weight, unable to eat too many sweets, or simply just want a few healthier options to throw into the mix, Halloween or year-round, check out these frightening fruity favorites! There are hundreds of great examples, so this is a topic you'll see pop up again. Since I'm a paranormal investigator and researcher---I think I'll focus on GHOSTS for this first volume.
Okay, so let's EASE into the concept of fruit for Halloween, with these strawberries that aren't strictly healthy. It looks like they've been dipped in white candy melts (but you could probably use white chocolate chips, too). The face appears to be drawn on with food-grade markers, which you can find in the baking/cake decorating/party section of most stores, such as Walmart. But, you can probably use chocolate candy pieces or black icing as well. This photo came from Pinterest, with no original source, so if you know who owns it, lemme know and I'll give 'em credit!
I LOVE these ghost pears! They look fairly easy to make, and are pretty versatile. They would be just as awesome at a fancy Halloween dinner party as they would as a sneaky and fun way to trick your kids into eating more fruit. The complete recipe and photo come from Tesco: Real Foods. Go check 'em out for this idea, and many more great Halloween desserts, treats, and snacks!
Love From the Oven.
A list of ghostly fruits could not be complete without the banana ghost and mandarin orange pumpkin platter. This cute idea was my first introduction to, and the inspiration for, this blog about healthy Halloween treats. It has been recreated numerous times (some much better than others) and shared all over the internet. It's SUPER easy. Peel your fruit. Cut your bananas in half. Stick on some chocolate chips for eyes/mouth, and a small piece of celery for your pumpkin stem. Plate and be done. This particular photo comes from Cozinhando Fantasias.

It was a pleasant surprise to wake up to a white wonderland Paris. It was probably some 6-10cm of snowfall throughout the night for the snow to last a couple of days. I was out on my way to meet someone for a project, and found out that bus services were cancelled for the day.Read More
In my past (-going to) 5 years in Paris, while some winters were chilly, but it never snowed like how it snowed recently. Even if it was lightly snowing, I was always cooped up in the office working on 123456th version of a client's request.Read More
No doubt, the sole existence of being in Singapore is to eat. Unfortunately by my third week at the hospital, I was completely sick of hawker/street food. They no longer taste the same.

Previously, I had my biggest Airbnb experience. This round, was a chic and cozy apartment. It has a huge lounging space. We were 5, so one of the sofa's was converted into a bed. There was another bedroom with 2 beds. Best part was, this apartment was equipped with fans! Halleluja!Read More
Fresh new day after a comfty rest in fluffy beds, we left for the Schönbrunn Palace early. Since we were told that it was extremely difficult to find parking, which turned out fine in the end.

Montgomery County Precinct 4 Livestock Officers responded to the 27200 block on Northcrest Circle in the Northcrest Subdivision Wednesday afternoon. In hand was a seizure warrant for fifteen horses, seven dogs and five cats.
Deputies had been out in the past and discovered the condition of the animals. They also identified three horses which were dead and had been for several months. One of those horses was in a stall.
Shortly after they arrived the SPCA came in and started documenting and loading the animals. A veterinarian with SPCA found two of the fifteen horses were in such bad shape that they may not make it through the night.
The owner of the horses, Kimberly Ann Adams could face several charges of cruelty to animals.
According to neighbors of this community, residents are allowed to keep one horse for every ten acres of land they own. One neighbor said that Adams formerly showed horses on a circuit and they were expensive registered horses.
Due to financial problems she was unable to keep up with all the animals and had formed a bond with them that she refused to let go of. Deputies say to feed that many horses could cost upward of $2500 a month, even more in the winter when extra calories are needed.

"Overall, good experience. Brendan was communicative when they got stuck in traffic and were running late (though still within the 12pm-3pm arrival window). They got right to work when they arrived, and I'm super impressed that they were able to fit everything into the truck in one trip. It was obviously a very long day for everyone, but I really appreciated their work ethic and positive attitudes. I also appreciated that they were friendly and made moving day a not totally unpleasant experience :-) In terms of constructive criticism, there were two main areas. First, when we left the first apartment to go to the second, their communication regarding ETA wasn't clear. I arrived at the second apartment about 30 minutes before they did, and I wasn't able to get through by phone, so I didn't know what was going on. It just would have been nice to have a heads up about what the plan was there. Second, I have a white fabric cover on my box spring that got pretty dirty in the move - I only r" Overall Score:7/10

Stroke Thrombolysis in a Centralized and a Decentralized System (Helsinki and Telemedical Project for Integrative Stroke Care Network)
Background and Purpose—Intravenous thrombolysis with tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) for acute ischemic stroke is more effective when delivered early. Timely delivery is challenging particularly in rural areas with long distances. We compared delays and treatment rates of a large, decentralized telemedicine-based system and a well-organized, large, centralized single-hospital system.
Methods—We analyzed the centralized system of the Helsinki University Central Hospital (Helsinki and Province of Uusimaa, Finland, 1.56 million inhabitants, 9096 km2) and the decentralized TeleStroke Unit network in a predominantly rural area (Telemedical Project for Integrative Stroke Care [TEMPiS], South-East Bavaria, Germany, 1.94 million inhabitants, 14 992 km2). All consecutive tPA treatments were prospectively registered. We compared tPA rates per total ischemic stroke admissions in the Helsinki and TEMPiS catchment areas. For delay comparisons, we excluded patients with basilar artery occlusions, in-hospital strokes, and those being treated after 270 minutes.
Results—From January 1, 2011, to December 31, 2013, 912 patients received tPA in Helsinki University Central Hospital and 1779 in TEMPiS hospitals. Area-based tPA rates were equal (13.0% of 7017 ischemic strokes in the Helsinki University Central Hospital area versus 13.3% of 14 637 ischemic strokes in the TEMPiS area; P=0.078). Median prehospital delays were longer (88; interquartile range, 60–135 versus 65; 48–101 minutes; P<0.001) but in-hospital delays were shorter (18; interquartile range, 13–30 versus 39; 26–56 minutes; P<0.001) in Helsinki University Central Hospital compared with TEMPiS with no difference in overall delays (117; interquartile range, 81–168 versus 115; 87–155 minutes; P=0.45).
Conclusions—A decentralized telestroke thrombolysis service can achieve similar treatment rates and time delays for a rural population as a centralized system can achieve for an urban population.
The earlier thrombolysis is given in stroke patients the better their outcome.1–3 Overall delay can be divided into prehospital delay, commonly referred to as onset-to-door time and in-hospital delay, commonly referred to as door-to-needle time. The sum of the 2 is what is most important for the patient: the onset-to-treatment time. Many efforts have been undertaken to reduce prehospital and in-hospital delays of tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) administration.4–9 Although the shortest overall delays can be achieved with a computed tomography (CT)–equipped ambulance,4 the fastest hospital-based delays have been reported from the Helsinki University Central Hospital (HUCH), which covers the city of Helsinki and the surrounding province of Uusimaa in Finland.5 In rural, sparsely inhabited regions, the coverage of tPA service is difficult and achievement of short time delays is more challenging, mainly because of long prehospital distances and reduced experience in tPA delivery in local hospitals compared with stroke centers. The Telemedical Project for Integrative Stroke Care (TEMPiS) attempted to address this challenge by setting up a decentralized system of telemedicine-linked stroke facilities (TeleStroke Units) in rural South-East Bavaria, Germany.10,11 In such decentralized systems, the specialized stroke care facility will be closer to patients' home, thus reducing prehospital delays, but the volume of patients treated per hospital is usually smaller. Door-to-needle times seem to have an inverse relationship to the annual number of patients with stroke per hospital, suggesting experience of the team as a crucial factor for achieving short in-hospital delays.5,12,13 Thus, a decentralized system may lead to longer in-hospital time delays.
The aim of this study was to determine whether a decentralized model of stroke care (TEMPiS) can achieve similar thrombolysis rates and overall treatment delays in a predominantly rural population compared with the centralized system in Helsinki and the province of Uusimaa.
We performed an observational retrospective cohort study with prospectively collected data and a prespecified analysis plan.
Helsinki University Central Hospital Setup
The Health District of Helsinki and Uusimaa covers public specialist care in the province of Uusimaa (Figure). In 2011 to 2013, the province had a mean population of 1.56 million and a surface area of 9096 km2. The whole area is defined as urban by the NUTS3 definition of the European Union (Nomenclature of Units for Territorial Statistics–level 3, for small regions), because of the therein embedded metropolitan region of Helsinki.15
The Helsinki thrombolysis service has been described previously.5 Briefly, HUCH is the only hospital in the province providing thrombolysis for stroke. All potentially eligible patients with stroke are brought to this 1 large hospital 24 hours/d, 7 days/wk. Although the driving distance can be up to 90 minutes, most of the population lives in the metropolitan area, typically within a 30-minute driving distance of HUCH. The province-wide ambulance service contacts the HUCH stroke consultant directly over mobile phone for any patient with a possible stroke to discuss patient details, medical history, and tPA eligibility during transport. Before the patient's arrival, the stroke consultant accesses previous medical records, imaging, and laboratory test results available in electronic format in a province-wide patient record; preregisters the patient into the hospital, requests blood tests and imaging, and assembles the team to wait for the patient. Because of concentrated resources of a centralized system, there is a neurology resident and a specialist neurologist in the hospital 24/7. The Helsinki model has been developed over many years and includes constant collaboration and training of the emergency medical services, continuous quality improvement utilizing the prospective thrombolysis registry, and a systematic training program within the stroke team. The history of the quality improvement program has been described in detail previously.5
Telestroke Network TEMPiS Setup
The TEMPIS network covers stroke specialist care in 14 districts in South-East Bavaria (Figure). In 2011 to 2013, the districts had a mean population of 1.94 million and a surface area of 14 992 km2.16 Nine of the districts are defined as rural and 5 as intermediate by the NUTS3 definition of the European Union.15 The network has been described previously.10,17 Briefly, it consists of 2 hub centers (Munich/Klinikum Harlaching and Regensburg/University Hospital) and 14 (in 2011) or 15 (in 2012 and 2013) cooperating TEMPiS spoke hospitals, each covering their administrative district in South-East Bavaria, Germany (Figure). The network was set up with the aim that patients do not have a driving distance of >30 minutes to a (Tele-) Stroke Unit. As part of the TEMPiS concept, regular training sessions for the multidisciplinary teams, internal registries, and standard operating procedures were established. The 24/7 teleconsultation service includes real-time bidirectional videoconference and imaging transfer. Continuous stroke-specific program performed by hub centers for spoke hospital staff includes semiannual stroke updates, semiannual full-day stroke beginners courses, and annual full-day conference days for nurses and therapists. Stroke awareness campaigns and stroke-specific training of emergency medical services are performed annually by each TEMPiS hospital for their own district. Process improvement programs performed by hub centers include regular analyses of collected data sets for each hospital, annual comprehensive feedback documents including improvement plans and semiannual audits in each spoke hospital. Ambulances are usually staffed with 2 paramedics. Emergency physician maybe deployed in critically ill patients. Patients with suspicion of stroke are to be brought to closest hospital with Stroke Unit. Paramedics are trained in stroke recognition during professional training and in the above-mentioned training.
Four of the TEMPiS hospitals have a Neurology service 24/7, and telemedicine is used in these hospitals mainly for the second opinion and organization of emergency transports. Three hospitals use a full-time neurologist during working hours. Neurological expertise is provided by part-time neurologists during working hours in all other hospitals. Among other indications, video presentation of patients with acute stroke potentially eligible for thrombolysis is mandatory if no neurologist is available at the bedside. If a neurologist is available onsite, thrombolysis may be delivered without telemedicine assistance. This was the case in about one third of the patients. Brief medical history, noncontrast CT scan, blood pressure measuring, and blood sampling are performed before the start of videoconference. If tPA is recommended, administration commences directly after videoconference. Within the districts covered by TEMPiS, 2 other hospitals (not part of the network) offer Stroke Unit service (Wasserburg and Bad Aibling) including tPA treatment.
Data Collection
All data used in this article were prospectively collected from patients who received intravenous tPA between January 1, 2011, and December 31, 2013, in HUCH and in the TEMPiS spoke hospitals.
The Helsinki Stroke Thrombolysis Registry has recorded all intravenous tPA deliveries at HUCH since 1995.5 The total number of ischemic stroke admissions was taken from the HUCH administrative records and included all admissions to emergency department with a final discharge diagnosis of ischemic stroke (International Classification of Diseases-Tenth Revision I63), whether the patients were treated under neurology or any other discipline. The population-based ischemic stroke numbers were estimated from the Finnish national stroke registry PERFECT (Performance, Effectiveness, and Cost of Treatment Episodes in Stroke), which uses administrative data linkage to identify in addition to admissions to the major hospital also cases managed at health centers and in the private sector.18
The TEMPiS Thrombolysis Registry includes all patients with acute ischemic stroke treated with intravenous thrombolysis in any of the TEMPiS hospitals. Neither data of the 2 hub centers and their catchment areas nor data of adjacent non-network districts were included in the current analysis. One spoke TEMPiS hospital (Pasing) is located in the city of Munich with overlapping catchment areas of the hub center and other non-network Stroke Units and was therefore excluded from this analysis. One spoke TEMPiS hospital (Bad Reichenhall) joined the network end of 2011, and data were therefore only included for the years 2012 and 2013. Two other hospitals joined the network end of 2013 and were therefore not included in this analysis. Hence, data for 13 (for 2011) and 14 (for 2012–2013) TEMPiS hospitals were included. Tests for plausibility and comparisons to other TEMPiS registries are regularly performed. To calculate area-based thrombolysis rate, the 2 non-network Stroke Units within the districts covered by TEMPiS provided numbers of tPA administrations in their hospitals. Numbers of ischemic stroke admissions in the whole area (including non-network hospitals, but excluding the catchment areas of the hubs and the spoke hospital Pasing) were gathered from the official quality reports19 of all hospitals providing acute care within the TEMPiS districts (n=32) for 2011 to 2013 and were confirmed by the Bavarian health government (data collected by the Institut für das Entgeltsystem im Krankenhaus, InEK GmbH, Germany).
Hospital-based tPA rate was defined as all patients with acute ischemic stroke treated with tPA in the given hospital (numerator) of all patients with acute ischemic stroke admitted to this hospital (denominator). Area-based tPA rate was defined as all patients with acute ischemic stroke treated with tPA in the given hospital (nominator) of all patients with acute ischemic stroke admitted to any hospital within the catchment area of this hospital (denominator).
Data sets from patients with in-hospital stroke or basilar artery occlusion and from patients treated after 270 minutes from onset or with incomplete information on time points were not included in time delay analyses. A sensitivity analysis was performed, in which patients with basilar artery occlusion and in-hospital stroke were included.
Both registries were approved as observational quality registries, patient consent was not required for registration, and all consecutive cases were included.
Statistical Analysis
Because of non-normal distribution of treatment delays, data are presented as median and interquartile range. The data of the 2 registries were compared using Mann–Whitney U test for continuous and Pearson χ2 test for dichotomous data. Statistical significance was set at 0.05 (2 tailed). No adjustment for multiple testing was done. IBM SPSS Statistics 23 (IBM Corp, Armonk, NY) was used for all analyses.
Geographical and patients' characteristics, as well as thrombolysis rates, are shown in Table 1. During the study period, 912 and 1779 patients with stroke were treated with tPA in HUCH and TEMPiS, respectively. Hospital-based annual tPA rates ranged between 7.5% and 20% in the TEMPiS hospitals. Hospital-based tPA rate in HUCH was higher than overall tPA rate in TEMPiS hospitals (26.9% versus 15.4%; P<0.001). However, there was no statistically significant difference in area-based tPA rates between the areas covered by HUCH and TEMPiS spoke hospitals (13.0% versus 13.3%; P=0.078). Exclusions for the time delay analysis are shown in Table 2 and time delays in Table 3. Onset-to-door time was significantly longer (88 [60–135] versus 65 [48–101] minutes; P<0.001) and door-to-needle time significantly shorter (18 [13–30] versus 39 [26–56] minutes; P<0.001) in HUCH versus TEMPiS. Overall onset-to-treatment time was equal (117 [81–168] versus 115 [87–155] minutes; P=0.452). These results remained similar when patients with basilar artery occlusions and in-hospital strokes were included in the analysis (Table 4).
Our comparison of 2 systems of stroke care shows that a decentralized telemedicine-supported infrastructure can achieve similar thrombolysis rates and overall time delays in a rural population as a centralized system can achieve in an urban population.
The different catchment areas (urban versus rural) may explain the age difference of the 2 patient groups. The difference in mean NIHSS (National Institute of Health Stroke Scale) is unclear, as in neither system very low or high NIHSS is considered a clear contraindication.
Although hospital-based tPA rate was much higher in HUCH than in TEMPiS, area-based tPA rate was similar in both systems. This difference is explained by the prehospital selection of patients with stroke in Helsinki/Uusimaa. Patients eligible for thrombolysis are transferred to HUCH, whereas others may also be treated in a local hospital without a Stroke Unit. This is also reflected by the lower rate of dedicated Stroke Unit treatments in Helsinki/Uusimaa (48%; Table 1). Most of the patients treated outside of HUCH are treated under neurology with typically half of the beds used for patients with stroke but not within a dedicated Stroke Monitoring Unit. In the TEMPiS system, prehospital selection is less frequent, as network hospitals are the local hospitals, close to patients' homes. Only few patients are admitted to other hospitals. As a result, 88% of patients with stroke are treated in hospitals with a (Tele-)Stroke Unit.
The only previous comparison of centralized and decentralized tPA systems of care found a higher hospital-based tPA rate in the centralized system (n=175), but a selection bias cannot be excluded because fewer patients with stroke were admitted to the stroke center of the centralized system (49 compared with 70 per 100 000 inhabitants), and these patients were younger and more often men.12 The approach of area-based tPA rate provides better comparability as hospital-based tPA rates are often severely biased by prehospital selection, especially in centralized systems of care.
About time delays, the main advantage of the decentralized system was the short onset-to-door time, which was only 65 minutes in TEMPiS compared with 88 minutes in HUCH. Where driving distances are usually shorter than 30 minutes in the TEMPiS region, distances in the Uusimaa area can be up to 90 minutes. Door-to-needle time was significantly longer in TEMPiS than in HUCH. In the current workflow of telethrombolysis, patients with acute stroke symptoms receive imaging before they are examined via videoconference. In contrast to HUCH, where tPA bolus is given while patient is still on CT table, additional delays are caused in the telestroke setting by transfer from CT table to the telemedicine room and subsequent video examination. Also, the lower number of tPA administrations per hospital is probably associated with less routine and less optimized procedures.12,13,20 tPA administrations in each TEMPiS hospital ranged between 15 and 91 per year. In Helsinki, stroke neurologist is contacted before patient arrival in hospital, which further reduces in-hospital delay, a measure that is also intended in TEMPiS, but because of large number of emergency medical services teams and hospitals, does not seem to be achieved as well. Overall delays from onset to treatment were similar in both systems. The shorter prehospital delays counterbalance the longer in-hospital delays in the decentralized model.
Rates and delays of both systems have been published before5,17 In both systems, improvement for further reduction is lower than in previous years, postulating a beginning ceiling effect. Onset-to-door time though seems stable throughout the past 10 years. Possibly, structural changes (such as implementation of new Stroke Units) would have more effect on this latter delay, than educational programs. Hospital-based tPA rates increased in both systems with no ceiling effect to date.
There are several limitations when comparing different systems of care in different countries. First, we were not able to collect detailed information on patients eligible for thrombolysis who finally did not receive tPA. Therefore, we do not know how often delays were responsible for not treating patients. Previous population-based analyses have suggested an extra 30-minute delay would drop thrombolysis rates from 6.3% to 6.0%.21 As 97.6% of TEMPiS patients and 93% of HUCH patients received tPA within 4 hours of onset, the number of patients excluded because of just missing the 4½-hour time window is likely to be very small. Second, clinical outcomes are not available for the given time period for TEMPiS patients. Therefore, we cannot prove that the TeleStroke thrombolysis protocol was safe and the short delay actually improved patients' outcome. Previous TEMPiS analyses, and those of other groups, however, have ruled out major differences in outcomes of patients with telethrombolysis compared with patients who received tPA in stroke centers.22–24 In addition, data from the Bavarian Stroke Registry indicate that overall in-hospital thrombolysis mortality in TEMPiS hospitals was 8.6%. This is almost identical to the overall Bavarian thrombolysis mortality rate (8.4%)25 and similar to the national registry in the United States (8.8%).1 Third, the emergency medical service may be organized differently in each system, influencing prehospital delay and prehospital selection. Fourth, alarm (or emergency call) time was not recorded in either of the 2 registries. Prealarm delay may be different in the 2 countries because of distinct stroke awareness, affecting overall delays beyond long distances to hospitals, thus limiting interpretation of prehospital delay. This should be studied in further prospective analyses. Fifth, as we have only included 1 system for each comparison, external validity is limited, as there are features that may be very network dependent. Also, some of the specific features of our 2 models of care may not be implementable in other settings because of different population densities, catchment areas, healthcare systems, and regional infrastructures. Comparison of 2 different systems of care is always challenging and bares many unknown and uncontrollable confounders. To increase validity, further multicenter comparison is warranted.
The results of our study indicate that a decentralized stroke system of care assisted by telemedicine can achieve equal thrombolysis treatment rates and onset-to-treatment delays in a predominantly rural, sparsely populated region as they are achieved in a mainly urban population with a centralized system.

text: Hello! We have a happy group of 8 chickens, 4 light sussexes and 4 crosses! The 4 crosses are let out of their pen as they know the garden very well. They've been let out for a few months now and no problems at all. I went down to shut them in their house yesterday night and only one was in its coop. It didn't look distressed or upset, it was just alone! This one was sort of the outcast of the group. We looked around the whole garden and the neighbours garden to see if they were roosting, no luck. There were no feathers or any sign of a struggle at all. I was home all day so I would've heard something. They are the three tamest of them all, they come when their names are called. We went down our local lane and our local farm, calling, and nothing happened. We've put the last cross into the pen with the other Light Sussees and she's getting along fine, she's not upset or distressed. Any ideas where they could've got too? Thanks!

Prognostic significance of human tissue kallikrein-related peptidases 11 and 15 in gastric cancer
- 125 Downloads
- Citations
Human tissue kallikrein-related peptidases (KLK) are a group of 15 serine proteases which have been investigated as potential cancer biomarkers. This study determined the prognostic significance of KLK 11 and 15 expression levels in gastric carcinoma specimens. Expression of KLK11 and KLK15 was assessed by immunohistochemistry staining on a tissue microarray constructed from 113 gastrectomy specimens from patients with gastric carcinoma. To minimize inter-observer variability, expression levels were quantified using an automated algorithm. Epithelial and stromal staining were assessed separately. Both KLK11 and KLK15 were expressed in gastric carcinoma. There was no significant correlation between either KLK11 or KLK15 expression and the presence of lymph node metastases or Lauren classification (intestinal vs. diffuse). Higher levels of KLK11 expression in gastric carcinoma were associated with significantly worse overall survival (p = 0.008), and a multivariate analysis showed that it had prognostic value independent of tumor stage and differentiation (p = 0.004). Variations in KLK15 expression were not significantly associated with prognosis. KLK11 shows promise as a potential independent prognostic marker for gastric carcinoma.

Welcome to the shortest cattle drive in Texas.
In spite of its status as the (almost) biggest state in the union and home to more self-applied superlatives and boundless boosterism, twice a day a small group of cowpokes move 17 Texas Longhorns past the Hyatt and through a tourist gauntlet for two whole blocks in the old stockyards of Fort Worth.
Let's just say that it is, on the whole, rather less daunting than the Chisolm Trail.
The stockyards themselves have seen more robust days. Once renowned as Hell's Half Acre, the whorehouses and acres of cow shit are long gone, though there is still a fair bit of bull. Wooden cactus sprout from flower pots, and you can pay 50 cents for a pony ride or a couple bucks to either straddle a bored longhorn or get tossed around by a mechanical bull. There's a number of perfectly reputable museums, an indoor rodeo and Pawnee Bill's Wild West Show and and an admirable number of watering holes and BBQ joints.
But I came for the cattle drive, so I lined up with the sugar-hyped kids and sweating parents and watched the show. Traffic was blocked, cowboys who wouldn't look out of place at a pride parade rode out into the broiling sun and escorted their bovine charges down the cobblestones. Kids darted about but I was disappointed that no stampede ensued. In eight minutes the cattle were on their way back to the feedlot, and the cowboys rested in the shade.
I chatted with one of the cowboys after the show. He has traded the cowboy life for a rather more refined career as city employee. "I used to work up at a stockyard running 8000 cattle a day. That was work. I took this job 'cause I loved the horses. The people...well...it gets too much and I can say my horse needs waterin' and ride off."
We chatted for a bit longer, then he mumbled something his horse seemin' a tad thirsty, and off he rode into the noonday sun.

Fans of Voyager wanted Janeway and Chakotay to get together. Maybe that's part of the thing that helped tank interest in the series, because that's a romance that resolutely never happened, even more certainly thank Picard and Crusher.
"Resolutions" is the closest the series ever came to explaining why. Contaminated and left to fend for themselves on an alien planet and likely to remain there the rest of their lives, Janeway and Chakotay get a close-up look at everything that stood in their way, and why their relationship quickly evolved to the state it remained in from the very beginning. Simply put, they work well together, and they each have necessary skills the other needs to survive, but they mean nothing more to each other than that ability to survive.
At first, neither knows what to make of the situation. Both of them thinks they know what needs to be done, and so they get at it, quite separately. Then they begin to notice how they can provide additional comforts to one another, and that it's not so bad being close to each other. They develop a kinship and a bond and mutual contentment, but the name of the episode is "Resolutions," and resolve is the necessary ingredient that makes the whole thing work. If they weren't stuck in this situation, they'd be exactly the same on the ship. Chakotay had more passion with Seska, at many points during this very season.
For that reason, because it's exactly the same relationship they always have and they don't really address what all the fans wanted to badly, Janeway and Chakotay don't really reveal anything different in "Resolutions," so in many regards it doesn't really stand out. I could make the argument that it's essential for all the things and reasons I've already outlined, that it explains everything about them without having to come out and say it, but I guess you don't have to worry about it if you don't want to. The writers already made that call, several times over. In fact, they avoid their problems more than they try to solve them, that's what really happens here. Every time there's a big decision to be made any other time, they butt heads. Without having to say so, Chakotay is really saying he's fine with this and he'll make good and try and help Janeway make good, too, because the roles are really reversed, and he's too polite to say so. But the funny thing is, even in the dominant position, he's submissive, because he doesn't like a big fuss anymore, especially when it isn't necessary. So it looks like the episode says less about him than it does Janeway. It's like the opposite of "Tattoo."

This is not the rainy season. This is the time for very cool dry weather. So just to prove to us that we can predict nothing, last night it rained slightly more than 1.5 inches. We have two outdoor dinners tomorrow and Tuesday. Today, in terror, we found a wonderful Mama who will bring a big tent to our house Tuesday morning so our 50+ guests can be sheltered from rain if needed. Whew, problem solved. Again, we are so lucky to have friends. We found a caterer for Monday night who is willing to work on the holiday to help us with the first smaller dinner. It is again a testimonial to long term relationships.
To lower my blood pressure, I took my camera out to the yard and found some interesting things. And from one of our guests learned a good deal about my camera and taking better pictures. This one, was the only perfect one.

I was reading Stacey's blog - ultraprincess.blogspot.com - and she mentioned that she had applied to be an Olympic Torch carrier in 2010 when the Olympics come to Canada. I had applied back in November when it first came out. I applied for the Timmons to Sault St Marie leg of the journey - I figure I have a good chance as the population up here is kind of scarce so I think I have a shot at it. Wish me luck. Just something exciting to do. Besides you get to keep the outfit. You know how I like free stuff!! She has also applied to be a bone marrow donor - way to go Stacey!! More people should be like you - if you can help, why wouldn't you. We give blood regularly and it just feels good to donate. We are saving lives just by giving a little bit of your time and blood for others who need it. Imagine yourself in the recipient's shoes. "It's in you to give".
Just got back from a meeting regarding the Wharncliffe Hall. A blustery nite to be out but - I have obligations. We just OKd the new contract for the demolition and reconstruction of the new hall and it should be up by April 14, 2009. There goes my next summer. I'll be cooking my little brains out once a month for the hall. We raised over $6000 this summer by our bake sales and the luncheon we catered this month - we even got an $80 tip that went right back into the hall fund. It's the only way we can make money and keep the fire hall open. Just call me Betty. Speaking of which - I am addicted to the cooking channel - Chris and I watched it when we were in Florida and I found it quite interesting - why can't I cook like that?? I have taped a few shows and tried a few recipes. I am so inspired I am going to have a dinner party for 8 in January and use all recipes I have found from the shows - blackened cat fish from the Chef At Home and his monkey bread for desert and some smashed potatoes from 30 Minute Meals. Looks easy enough - but check back with me after the party. I will be sure to have a good box of white wine to get me through. Never cook without it.
Tomorrow I have a doctor's appointment in town - if I can get out - we are expecting more snow. I hear Windsor got a good dumping 3-4 inches. WOW. That's a lot for you guys. It will probably be gone soon.
We are off to Sudbury on Friday - wish us luck. Then, hopefully Windsor on Monday or Tuesday depending on the weather.
The fox has been around the last few days - he is being well fed - sardines today - and dog food which he loves. He eats the bird seeds and peanuts - even foxes eat peanuts - not my little squirrel. I'll have to pick up a few cans of dog food at the store tomorrow - good thing Linda and John are staying on Axe Lake for Christmas so my fox will be fed over the holidays - he just makes the rounds. But he still hunts - I saw him stalking the birds the other day. And he has made a full recovery from his leg wound - he doesn't limp anymore. Thank goodness.
Well enough blogging - time to go upstairs - Rejean had his Xbox out for the first time in years - I'll have to fight him for control of the television now.
See Ya By
