Last Friday, we went to register for a gift list because my mum had a last-minute change of heart and decided we should have one, and the store is supposed to give us little insert cards to put in with our invitations. They don't have them in-store, apparently, so they were going to post them to us. Fine. I was working on the assumption that they would send them out on Monday, but no sign yet, so this morning I called John Lewis to see what was happening. Apparently shipping them takes 5-7 days, so they could arrive today, but by Monday at the latest.
I was cool with that, because we get post today and Saturday, so there was a fair chance we'd get them before we went over to see my parents tomorrow, so we'd be able to hand-deliver a few and save money – the invites are otherwise ready to go.
However I then got a call back saying that actually no cards had even been posted to us, but she'd get some sent out which could take 5-7 working days.
I sat and mulled on this for a bit and got gradually more grumpy about it, and eventually called back and asked if there was anything they could do to get them here sooner, like could they ship them to the store and I could come and pick them up tomorrow?
They're now sending them out to me first class, so they'll get here by Monday at the latest (fingers crossed for tomorrow), which puts me in the same position I was in had they shipped them out by normal post on Monday, so I guess I can deal with that, and they were very helpful, but I'm a bit narked because we weren't actually initially told they would take 5-7 days to arrive, so we've spent all week wondering where they were and prepping for them to have arrived by the weekend because we're going over to my parents' house, and that way we can hand-deliver a load and save on postage. We're over again on Monday evening for a meeting and a food tasting, and I GUESS we could do a drive-round after that and deliver some if they don't arrive before we leave on Saturday, but we won't even be able to do that if they don't arrive until Monday because we're going straight from work to the meeting. UGH. And then we're stuck, and we either have to wait two weeks before we're over again, which is June, when I'd really wanted them sent out in May, or we have to pay for postage which I'd wanted to avoid because the price of stamps went up.
Another option I briefly considered was seeing if any of the stationers in town stocked blank registry cards that we could fill in and use, but I'm damned if I'm paying for something I'm supposed to be getting for free, and also that would mean I'd end up with a load of John Lewis registry cards knocking around that I couldn't use for anything. So we've just got to wait.

Blaaah. I KNOW we left it last minute to register, but gosh darnit if they'd been as organised as they should have been, then my one slip-up in organisation wouldn't have caused this much trouble. And I just want to send the invites because I'm stressing over them (DIY) and because I want my dining table back! They've been sat on it for the last four months.
ETA: sorry for the wall 'o' text – it looks like a HTML glitch, but every time I go into edit it adds all the spaces back in!

Not everyone has the time, the space or the inclination to keep their own bees, but buying honey can be confusing. Meme Thomas, instructor for the Honeybee Conservancy classes at Rodale Institute and founder of Baltimore Honey, shared with us the best questions to ask your beekeeper (and the answers you want to hear in return) to ensure he or she is focused on keeping the bees healthy.
Q: Is the honey from your own hive(s)? Do you package honey from another source? If so, from where?
A: Ideally, you want to buy directly from the beekeeper or someone who is very familiar with the practices of the beekeeper(s). Never support a vendor, processor or packer who doesn't know the origin of the honey he or she is selling.
Q: How are you as a beekeeper contributing to the health of honeybees?
A: Know your beekeeper's methods and management practices during honey production. How the beekeeper cares for the honeybees makes a big difference in the quality of the honey for sale. Sustainable beekeepers should have planted nectar- and pollen-rich plants for all seasons, especially for the months of late winter to early spring (February through April), through the summer dearth and into the late fall (June through November). If they don't mention omitting the use of chemicals, you'll want to ask specifically about their use of miticides, antibiotics or artificial feedings, including cane/beet sugars, high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup and pollen patties.
Q: How do you ensure your honeybees are well hydrated?
A: Honeybees need water to stay hydrated but also to regulate the thermodynamics within the hive and colony. They use water inside the hive as a means for evaporative cooling (air conditioning within the hive). Honeybees will place water over and on top of the wax comb to prevent it from melting and to keep the eggs and young developing honeybees in cells laid by the queen bee from overheating and dying. That said, beekeepers should always provide clean water at each hive, especially when honeybees cannot forage outside the hive due to cold temperatures or cloudy, foggy or rainy weather.
Q: How do you prevent your bees from starving during the winter months?
A: Beekeepers should leave 100 pounds or more of capped honey in the hive for honeybees to feed on over the cold months of winter and into early spring.
Q: How soon do you remove honey from a hive after setting up a new colony?
A: The first honey harvest should occur sometime after the fifth season of placing a honeybee colony into its hive. For example, if a colony is set up in a hive in the spring, a beekeeper would wait five seasons—summer, fall, winter, spring, summer—and the first harvest wouldn't take place until a year after establishment. And only the excess honey (above the 100 pounds) will be harvested while the remaining will stay on the hive for honeybees to feed on through the winter. The five-season rule allows for honeybees to establish themselves and to store away enough capped honey for winter survival.
Q: How do you prevent your honeybees from stinging you when you take their honey?
A: Cross your fingers and hope their response isn't "with a smoker." The materials that are burned in smokers emit over 20 volatile compounds into the hive. Over time, the smoke will create residue build-up on the wax comb of brood and honeycomb which, in turn, affects both the honeybees and the natural flavor of the uncapped and capped honey.

Create customize url with MVC
February 21, 2011
Hi, I wanted to create an application that will allow users to pick there own urls just like twitter (http://twitter.com/anativ). It seems that there is a very simple way for doing it using MVC. I saw many solution to this problem that catch the 404 and handle it. I personally didn't like that solution it was too complicated and had many small issues that you need to solve. Here is the sample controller that handle the custom urls: public class UsersController : Controller ...

The Development Company
Fairlawn, New Jersey
Green Valley is a Planned Unit Development for 375 cluster townhouses, 100 rental apartments, and 125 terrace townhouses. The development includes common areas, undisturbed open natural areas, parking and road belts. A commercial cluster is comprised of a community building, club house, tennis courts, commercial offices, professional offices, and additional associated parking.
Green Valley is planned to provide a housing environment consistent with the preservation and enhancement of the community. DiGeronimo PC designed the development in the context of economic, social, community, and environmental factors in order to promote the sound growth and general welfare of a community as a whole.
Economic considerations included evaluation of taxes, operating expenses, reserve, occupancy, interest rates, and capital investments against anticipated cash revenues and municipal costs. Analyses included projections of municipal impacts, evaluation of population trends, and consideration of trends in housing construction activity.
DiGeronimo PC placed community facilities such as schools, shopping centers and recreation areas in considered relationships. Utilities and pavement layouts were designed in smaller more efficient networks to minimize environmental impact.
Green Valley fulfills the basic requirements for housing supply while offering opportunities to increase community assets such as swimming, tennis, community meetings and other group activities. The site layout was designed to minimize maintenance chores while leaving a maximum area of open space for picnicking, hiking, and bicycle riding in an undisturbed environment.
Green Valley provides the privacy, convenience, and safety of a planned development and still offers the homeowner a variety of styles and clusterings.
Most importantly, Green Valley was designed to provide a livable community based on the concept that the house and its immediate environment can enhance the quality of life.

Shrimp skewers breaded with almond flour and spices, fried in coconut oil. Served alongside salad with a rich chipotle mayo sauce.
I'm not big on New Year's Resolutions (we dedicated a whole podcast on how disruptive resolutions can be to our overall health here), but I do see the value in staying focused on the things that make me feel happy, healthy, and whole.
I personally set aside time once a month (on the 10th of every month – my birthday number) to assess how I'm allocating my time, energy, and money to see if I'm actively contributing to the life I want to live.
While MANY of the things I do daily to contribute to the life I want to live have nothing to do with the keto diet (think: camping, yoga, Netflix binges, pajama parties, art classes, and daily walks), there are a couple of must-do keto nutrition, diet, and keto food prep actions on my "list" that support the balanced body and mind I want to maintain with my keto diet.
Some of the little things that make a BIG difference when it comes to maintaining my eating style are:
Always having fresh vegetables in the fridge… grocery shopping before it gets too low
Knowing to stock up on fresh fruits about 5 days before my period… otherwise, I'll eat mounds of sugary things and my mood and work ethic will suffer substantially
Keeping at least six servings of cooked keto-friendly proteins in the fridge or freezer
Spending an hour or two every week creating new and exciting ways to prepare quick 20-minute keto meals… otherwise, I get bored and eat things that don't make my body feel good
So the first three items are pretty self-explanatory, but the last one on quick 20-minute meals is something I know we can all benefit from. This week, I created a quick and easy keto shrimp salad that was out-of-this-world amazing. So much so that I Kevin said, "Babe, this is blog-worthy. You've got to make it again and share it with the peeps!" (FYI: you guys are called 'the peeps').
So here we are! The salad couldn't be easier to whip up. The Bob's Red Mill Almond Flour combined with frying the skewers in coconut oil and drizzling the salad with chipotle mayo dressing makes this recipe an official FAT BOMB dinner – a great way to boost your fat for the day without relying on another silicone mold treat.
Let's dig in!

Shrimp skewers breaded with almond flour and spices, fried in coconut oil. Served alongside salad with a rich chipotle mayo sauce. MACROS 85% fat, 4% carb, 11% protein.
Shrimp Skewers
½ cup (210 g) coconut oil
12 bamboo skewers, 6-inch (152 mm), soaked in water for 10 minutes
14 oz (400 g) large raw white shrimp (deveined with tail off)
¾ cup (110 g) Bob's Red Mill Almond Flour
¾ teaspoon finely ground gray sea salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon ginger powder
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 egg, whisked
⅔ cup (210 g) mayonnaise
2 teaspoons lime juice, optional
1 teaspoon chipotle powder
4 cups (280 g) iceberg lettuce mix
Place the coconut oil in a large frying pan.
Skewer three shrimps per bamboo skewer. Place on a clean plate, and repeat until all shrimps are on a skewer.
Combine the almond flour, salt, garlic powder, ginger powder, and black pepper in a shallow dish.
Place the egg in a small dish.
Lightly coat a shrimp skewer in the whisked egg. Transfer over to the almond flour mix and coat generously. Once complete, transfer to one side of a cooling rack. Repeat with all skewers.
Set the pan with coconut oil to medium-low heat. Once the coconut oil has melted, wait one more minute before carefully placing all skewers into the oil. You may have to do batches if your pan is not large enough.
Cook the skewers for up to 4 minutes on the first side. If after 4 minutes, the coating isn't a light golden, turn the heat up to medium. Flip over and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes.
Transfer the completed skewers to the opposite end of the cooling rack.
While the shrimps are cooking, prepare the dressing by combining all ingredients in a small bowl.
Divide the iceberg lettuce mix between four salad plates. Top with cooked shrimp skewers and chipotle mayo dressing.
Leftovers, store ingredients separately, for up to 2 days in the fridge.

Having nothin' was the worst, now it's the best of everything
They used to tell us no, now it's yes to everything
And I get high on the low, just the level things
The worst I look, probably the best you've ever seen
Yeah, so fresh, and forever clean
Produce sexy style, bein' fresh is everything
I sit yo ass down girl, sit that heavy thing
Give me that sloppy head, and make a mess of everything
If they don't see that I'm a winner, then it's their loss
I say fuck niggas, then you won't hear, pause
We work hard all day, over here boss
So every night we go ball like hair loss
From the bottom, but we end up being top notch
Thinkin' out the box where everybody hopscotch
Everybody knows
How the story goes
Friends turn into foes
Seen it all before
Guess I'll take the blame
Cause you and me ain't the same
For what it's worth, nigga really can't complain
Payback some motherfucker, I would hate to be ya
I'm back to lay ya flat like a quesadilla
Crocodile, heard Mase kick collectors items
Fugitive, by the state, had to expedite him
I'm back to put the game on Ramadan
Like grated cheese, a six-deuce parmesan
Compared to other captain, Philly Freck a day less
That's absolutely negative, like my AIDS test
I'm gettin' chauf, I'm in the back with a leisure
Tell the driver go long, like a Packer's receiver
I still got the most hoes, it's affirmative
Every boss hotter then the furnace is
Heard Freck fuckin' with the chick? Now he wanna
He search for 'em, then he cuff 'em, he's a bounty hunter
They make the ugly face when he raps

CBS, ABC in midseason form
Eye gives 'Island' the 'CSI' lead-inCBS' new mystery series "Harper's Island" will receive the network's strongest lead-in next year when the show launches after "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation."
The 13-episode "Island" — a "Ten Little Indians"-style thriller in which guests at a wedding are killed off one by one — will step in for "Eleventh Hour" at 10 p.m. Thursdays starting April 9 and will run into midsummer. On Monday, CBS announced five more episodes for "Eleventh Hour," a shorter order than a full season, to accommodate the plan.
The network also scheduled the return of the Canadian drama "Flashpoint" to Friday nights. The crime drama held up impressively in the summer for the network and returns at 9 p.m. Jan. 9, filling the spot vacated by "The Ex List." The network has long sought a strong drama to bridge the gap between "Ghost Whisperer" and "Numbers" and hopes "Flashpoint" will deliver.
In addition, CBS will air Ashton Kutcher's new series "Game Show in My Head" on Saturday nights starting Jan. 3. The hidden-camera show is hosted by Joe Rogan, with contestants performing five outrageous and embarrassing tasks for a chance to win as much as $50,000.
In a season where most networks' spring schedule will barely resemble their fall skeds, CBS' midseason lineup boasts few changes and few surprises. "Flashpoint" performed well on Fridays previously, and the network has an opening, so it's going back where it worked before. "Eleventh Hour" has been placing second in its time period, and trying "Island" in this valuable slot gives the new project the best possible chance to succeed.
CBS hasn't had much luck with the game show genre in primetime, and given how well its scripted programming is performing, declining to shift any of the other shows to accommodate a new unscripted series isn't a big surprise. (partialdiff)

Laverne Cox, star of Orange is the New Black and the upcoming remake of the Rocky Horror Picture Show (2016), is set to co-star in the new CBS new series Doubt, a legal drama by Grey's Anatomy writers and producers Tony Phelan and Joan Rater. Cox is breaking
ground for transgenders actors and actress, becoming the first transgender actress to play a transgender character on a broadcast series. Katherine Heigl, Steven Pasquale, Dulé Hill, Dreama Walker, Elliott Gould, and Kobi Libii will also be starring in the series.
Doubt was originally piloted last season and didn't go to series, but this year its second pilot was a network favorite. The storyline will follow a smart and successful lawyer Sadie Ellis (Heigl) who begins to fall for her client, who is being accused of a brutal crime. The series will be directed by Better Call Saul's Adam Bernstein.
Cox gained national recognition on the Jenji Kohan's critically acclaimed Netflix series Orange is the New Black in her role as Sophia Burset, a complex and compelling transgender woman behind bars for credit card fraud. Her character has brought attention to the issues trans women face both in and outside of the prison system- her complicated relationship with her now ex wife and son, her struggle to fit in with her fellow inmates and the discrimination she faces as both a black woman and trans woman. Cox will also be starring in the tv-movie remake of the Rocky Horror Picture Show as Dr. Frank-N-Furter, the sexually open, fetish-clad, mad scientist originally played by Tim Curry.

You've got only a few dirty dishes so you really don't want to run the dishwasher. But after you've washed and rinsed them by hand, you need a way to let them air dry quickly and cleanly, without leaving the bench full of wet towels that could harbour bacteria. What to do? A dish rack isn't the answer - not only does it take up valuable bench space, but its slick, wet surface can become grimy quickly.
Pile dishes high as you save time and eliminate the "wet towel/dish rack" dilemma. Our super-absorbent Dish Mat allows dishes to cleanly and cost-effectively air dry, while you go on to more important things. In addition, the Dish Mat itself dries quickly, which means a cleaner surface for next time.

What comes out of your mouth is determined by what goes into your mind.
—Zig Ziglar (1926–2012) American Author
I've never run into a guy who could win at the top level in anything today and didn't have the right attitude, didn't give it everything he had, at least while he was doing it; wasn't prepared and didn't have the whole program worked out.
—Ted Turner (b.1938) American Businessperson, Entrepreneur, Philanthropist
We don't see things as they are; we see them as we are.
—Anais Nin (1903–77) French-American Essayist
Continue to make the demands of the day your immediate concern, and take occasion to test the purity of your hearts and the steadfastness of your spirits. When you then take a deep breath and rise above the cares of this world and in an hour of leisure, you will surely win the proper frame of mind to face devoutly what is above us, with reverence, seeing in all events the manifestation of a higher guidance.
—Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749–1832) German Poet
Words can never adequately convey the incredible impact of our attitudes toward life. The longer I live the more convinced I become that life is 10 percent what happens to us and 90 percent how we respond to it.
—Chuck Swindoll (b.1934) American Christian Pastor, Author, Educator, Radio Personality
Life is a mirror and will reflect back to the thinker what he thinks into it.

Positive anything is better than negative thinking.
—Elbert Hubbard (1856-1915) American Writer, Publisher, Artist, Philosopher
It's really a wonder that I haven't dropped all my ideals because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet, I keep them, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can't build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery, and death. I see the world gradually being turned into a wilderness, I hear the ever-approaching thunder, which will destroy us too, I can feel the sufferings of millions and yet, if I look up into the heavens, I think that it will all come right, that this cruelty too will end, and that peace and tranquility will return again.
—Anne Frank (1929–45) Holocaust Victim
Nothing in life is so hard that you can't make it easier by the way you take it.
—Ellen Glasgow (1873–1945) American Novelist
A stumbling block to the pessimist is a stepping-stone to the optimist.
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962) American First Lady, Diplomat, Civil Rights Activist, Politician
A great attitude does much more than turn on the lights in our worlds; it seems to magically connect us to all sorts of serendipitous opportunities that were somehow absent before we changed.
—Earl Nightingale (1921-89) American Motivational Speaker, Author
Our personal dispositions are as windowpanes through which we see the world either as rosy or dull. The way we color the glasses we wear is the way the world seems to us.
—Fulton J. Sheen (1895–1979) American Catholic Religious Leader, Theologian
We can be negative and cynical or we can be charged and hot wored to find a way through it, over it, around it under it.
—Laura Schlessinger (b.1947) American Children's Books Writer, Psychologist, TV Personality, Author
The human spirit is stronger than anything that can happen to it.
—C. P. Scott (1846–1932) British Publisher, Journalist, Politician
When you believe you can-you can.

There is nothing so easy but that it becomes difficult when you do it reluctantly.
—Terence Ancient Roman Playwright
Of all the "attitudes" we can acquire, surely the attitude of gratitude is the most important and by far the most life-changing.
—Zig Ziglar (1926–2012) American Author
Between the optimist and the pessimist, the difference is droll. The optimist sees the doughnut; the pessimist the hole!
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900) Irish Poet
Man's mind stretched by a new idea, never goes back to its original dimensions.
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–94) American Physician
Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.

I don't think of all the misery, but of all the beauty that still remains.

We hardly ever realize that we can cut anything out of our lives, anytime, in the blink of an eye.

Life is ten percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you respond to it.

Your mind will be like its habitual thoughts; for the soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts. Soak it then in such trains of thoughts as, for example: Where life is possible at all, a right life is possible.
—Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus (121–80)
Whatever is expressed is impressed. Whatever you say to yourself, with emotion, generates thoughts, ideas and behaviors consistent with those words.
—Brian Tracy (b.1944) American Author, Motivational Speaker
You cannot climb the ladder of success dressed in the costume of failure.
—Zig Ziglar (1926–2012) American Author
If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters. Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude.
—Colin Powell (b.1937) American Military Leader
People who soar are those who refuse to sit back, sigh and wish things would change. They neither complain of their lot nor passively dream of some distant ship coming in. Rather, they visualize in their minds that they are not quitters; they will not allow life's circumstances to push them down and hold them under.
—Chuck Swindoll (b.1934) American Christian Pastor, Author, Educator, Radio Personality
We all need a daily check up from the neck up to avoid stinkin' thinkin' which ultimately leads to hardening of the attitudes.

I don't wait for moods. You accomplish nothing if you do that. Your mind must know it has got to get down to earth.
—Pearl S. Buck (1892-1973) American Novelist, Human Rights Activist
The excursion is the same when you go looking for your sorrow as when you go looking for your joy.

Folks are usually about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–65) American Head of State
In the final analysis, the questions of why bad things happen to good people transmutes itself into some very different questions, no longer asking why something happened, but asking how we will respond, what we intend to do now that it happened.
—Harold Kushner (b.1935) American Jewish Religious Leader, Priest
Corporations will take 90% less ability for

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.|Attitude, to me is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do.It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company …a church …a home.The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past …we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way.|We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude …I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you …we are in charge of our attitudes.
—Chuck Swindoll (b.1934) American Christian Pastor, Author, Educator, Radio Personality

Determine that the thing can and shall be done, and then we shall find the way.
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–65) American Head of State
We talk to ourselves incessantly about our world. In fact we maintain our world with our internal talk. And whenever we finish talking to ourselves about ourselves and our world, the world is always as it should be. We renew it, we rekindle it with life, we uphold it with our internal talk. Not only that, but we also choose our paths as we talk to ourselves. Thus we repeat the same choices over and over until the day we die, because we keep on repeating the same internal talk over and over until the day we die. A warrior is aware of this and strives to stop his internal talk.
—Carlos Castaneda (1925-98) Peruvian-born American Anthropologist, Author

—Adlai Stevenson (1900-65) American Diplomat, Politician, Orator
I am more and more convinced that our happiness or our unhappiness depends far more on the way we meet the events of life than on the nature of those events themselves.
—Wilhelm von Humboldt (1767–1835) German Philosopher, Diplomat, Educator, Public Administrator
Pain is a relatively objective, physical phenomenon; suffering is our psychological resistance to what happens. Events may create physical pain, but they do not in themselves create suffering. Resistance creates suffering. Stress happens when your mind resists what is…The only problem in your life is your mind's resistance to life as it unfolds.
—Dan Millman (b.1946) American Children's Books Writer, Sportsperson
Misery is a communicable disease.
—Martha Graham (1894-1991) American Choreographer
When I hear somebody sigh, "Life is hard," I am always tempted to ask, "Compared to what?"
—Sydney J. Harris (1917–86) American Journalist, Columnist, Drama Critic
If you aren't fired with enthusiasm, you'll be fired with enthusiasm.
—Vince Lombardi (1913–70) American Sportsperson
We are injured and hurt emotionally, Not so much by other people or what they say and don't say, But by our own attitude and our own response.
—Maxwell Maltz (1899–1975) American Surgeon, Motivational Writer
There are in life as many aspects as attitudes towards it; and aspects change with attitudes… Could we change our attitude, we should not only see life differently, but life itself would come to be different. Life would undergo a change of appearance because we ourselves had undergone a change in attitude.
—Katherine Mansfield (1888–1923) New Zealander Short story

|Interacting effects of preoperative information and patient choice in adaptation to colonoscopy.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 16228834 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to match patient information requirements by determining whether giving patients a choice for additional preprocedural audiovisual information modifies the effectiveness of this information on anxiety, worry, knowledge, and patient satisfaction. METHODS: Patients scheduled to undergo colonoscopy were approached one week before their procedure. All patients received an information leaflet during their standard preanesthetic clinic visit. Patients were randomly assigned to a choice or no-choice condition. Patients in the choice condition were free to watch or not watch the video, people in the no-choice condition were further randomized to watch or not watch the video. Measures of anxiety and worry were completed before watching the video. Anxiety, worry, knowledge, and satisfaction were measured one week later just before the colonoscopy. RESULTS: One hundred sixty-six patients completed the study. Of those patients randomized to the choice condition, 69 percent wanted to watch the video. Those who chose not to watch the video were significantly more worried on the day of their procedure. Consistent with current evidence, watching the video was associated with improvements in short-term knowledge (F(1,161) = 4.8, P = 0.03). There was, however, no significant effect of the choice or video conditions on anxiety or patient satisfaction. CONCLUSIONS: There appears to be no additional benefits in terms of patient outcomes by allowing patients to choose whether they want additional audiovisual information. We suggest that all patients undergoing colonoscopy would benefit from watching such an educational video in the week before their procedure.

I'm kind of glad that I didn't book my first hotel, right when I was 21. There's something gratifying about looking at all the hotels in the area we need to stay, spotting one with a rooftop pool, and not even considering the extra $20/night necessary to take a swim 25 storeys off the ground. Did I use a rewards program to get a discount, though? Hells yeah--I'm a salaried employee, not an idiot.
In a couple of weeks, R and I are going to be visiting friends, about fifty minutes north of my current location, and both of us are going to drink, and neither of us is ending up on a shitty air mattress that deflates around 4am. We are getting a taxi to our hotel room, where we can sleep in a king-size bed, wake up to a hot buffet breakfast, and then go for a swim in the fucking sky.
Special occasions are great, and deserve to be celebrated, but, holy crap, sometimes it feels so good to look forward to celebrating just for the sake of it.
Things, otherwise, are going fine. I've been trying to harness my wardrobe, lately, because everything else has steadied. It used to take somewhere around 40 minutes for me to put together enough outfits for a long weekend trip, and now it takes me somewhere in the ballpark of two; I'm convinced that this is the sign of an exceptional wardrobe--to be able to look at your clothes and know that everything matches with at least something, and there is at least one garment for every occasion.
R and I are good, steady. We had a rough patch, while he was dealing with some hard stuff, and we were fighting a lot because of that stress...but I'm all about seeing arguments/long-term issues/sniping as opportunities to strengthen our communication and conflict resolution skills. That's exactly how we handled it, and now we're more disgusting than ever.
Generally, things are very stable, and that's all I can ask for, right now. We're trying to buy some mountain land within the next five or so years, and I'm trying to get enough savings built up to pay less than $50/month on a compact SUV and still survive well beyond six months off of a salary...so stable is good. Sometimes, I ask myself if I might regret not spending more money on adventures during my twenties, but then I picture bathing in an enormous jacuzzi overlooking a remote lake, and I'm like,

a quick blog on books
Thursday. 12.1.16 9:40 pm
I'm devouring books, as of late.
The Night Circus is really fun as an audiobook; Jim Dale--the narrator for the Harry Potter series, too--does a spectacular job, but, sometimes, it's kind of weird when he tries to do voices for feminine characters. Either way, people say the book itself is insufferably dwindling...the audiobook moves so well, I hardly noticed. I think someone said the whole thing was thirteen hours, but it felt like maybe four.
OH, and I just read The Paper Magician, which, apparently, is being made into a movie? That's what R tells me. This book came as a result of my interest on Amazon in The Night Circus, so I don't just have a thing for books about magical worlds...once I like one book from a theme, though, I tend to pursue that theme, for a while. I read these two, and then the first two books of Harry Potter (can you believe I've never read those?) within the past two weeks, along with three novels outside of the theme, and I am STARVING for more Audible credits, more money to spend on Kindle books. The Paper Magician is in a trilogy, and the first book was free through Amazon Prime (btw, Amazon Prime now lets you read a buttload of books for free, with the one issue that many of these books are part of a series, all of which is not free. Pain), but the second one is $5, and I've promised myself that I won't waver even a step off my savings plan. I'm doing really well, and it's because I'm so strict with myself.
The Paper Magician is about this young magician-to-be, and she is bonded with only the ability to use magic on paper; everyone works like that--some can do glass, some metal, etc. etc. She has to become an apprentice to someone who is already a magician under that same medium...and then a bunch of stuff happens, all of that stuff being spoilers. It's good. I'm really loving my book intuition, lately; I returned my racist-ass, repetition-loving Lovecraft audiobook for The Night Circus on a whim (after deciding to return just for the sake of not wasting a credit, that is), and it worked out wonderfully...and, a few months ago, I found a book called Metro 2033 (post-apocalyptic Russian metro tunnels, super philosophical, downright unnerving) OUT OF NOWHERE, and it turned out to be a huge obsession for both myself and my S.O. ...AND his dad. His dad got into it, too. They made a video game, and they're making a movie; the guy who worked on Blade Runner is also working on this.
This is what I had time to say, but it isn't all I have going on by a long shot. For another time.

Skip to comments.Same-sex couple barred from Lexington Catholic prom
Posted on 05/15/2012 9:35:53 AM PDT by massmike
Two female students say they were not allowed to attend Lexington Catholic High School's prom as a couple Saturday night, upsetting a number of students at the school.
Hope Decker, 18, a senior, and sophomore Tiffany Wright, 16, had already gotten their dresses for the event, but Friday afternoon they were told by school administrators they could not attend as a couple because of the church's stance on same-sex relationships, Wright said.
In an email Sunday, Lexington Catholic president Steve Angelucci said, "As a Catholic high school, we uphold every teaching of the Catholic Church. The policies and procedures of our school reflect those teachings."
When the couple tried to enter the school's gymnasium, where the prom was held, they were turned away, so Wright said they held their own prom in the school's parking lot.
"I would understand and respect the school's decision if they truly upheld church teachings," Wright said Sunday night. "They didn't forbid the entrance of all the couples who've had premarital sex and all the kids who planned to get drunk after the prom."
(Excerpt) Read more at kentucky.com ...
Next week's special guests on "Ellen".......
Ahhh. I'm home.
I moved from my 45 year home of Seattle to KY last year. Every time there is a story about the latest hijinx coming from that liberal bastian I say, "yep, another reason why I needed to leave Seattle."
But I need to start doing the reverse and I'll start with this story:
"Yep, another reason why I moved to KY."
Obviously, the Church should have made an exeption for them. Mommy told them that they were "special". < /s>
Obviously the school has magical powers to automatically determine which couples were having pre-marital sex, or were planning to get drunk that night.
"I would understand and respect the school's decision if they truly upheld church teachings," Wright said Sunday night. "They didn't forbid the entrance of all the couples who've had premarital sex and all the kids who planned to get drunk after the prom."
Two things:
1. Maybe if it were more obvious they would.
2. Sin is one thing. Broadcasting it proudly (same sex couple going to prom) is another.
And a third thing: How are they supposed to know who "plans" to get drunk afterward?
Probably bi.
No fair! You're using logic! <sarc
...or LUGS!
They look like LUGs.
Bet daddy is proud.
It's easy. Straw men are all they have. It's like the people who are against picture ID to vote because it is a financial hardship. That straw man is soaked in gasoline, just waiting for a stray match.
Nah, more like Romy and Michelle.
Good for the school for standing up for the teachings they agreed to impart to all students when their parents chose to send them to the school.
My vote is for "attention whores."
The one on the right looks like a Judd.
Boston Globe covers last week's two major "gay marriage" events with laughable bias.
In the first picture,the Globe had just a small Associated Press article on page 6,calling the North Carolina vote a "gay marriage prohibition."
The second photo is from the morning after Obama's comments, You would have thought it was the second VJ Day. The Globe devoted the entire top front page,two full inside pages, and the lead editorial to an announcement that surprised no one!
The first picture here is from the Boston Globe....taking a shot at the "religious right"... The second is from the "conservative" Boston Herald,which devoted an inside spread gushing about the news of Obama supporting gay "marriage".....
What is a lug?

In line with its vision to address poverty through social entrepreneurship, Lifestyle-brand Boardwalk launched Share, a fashion and lifestyle sub-brand with a social development platform. Share, an initiative of the Share Foundation by Boardwalk in partnership with Boardwalk Charity Foundation Incorporated, aims to elevate fashion into a social development platform by allocating 25% of each Share item sold for its business starter program. The program aims to assist people from economically-challenged communities in helping them gain capital and confidence, and enhance their skills and sensibilities to have a fair shot at business success.
The Walk to Share Lifestyle event, which was held last December 3, 2015 at The Green Sun, starts with the Share the Story film, a social experiment staged by Share showcasing how uncertain people are when it comes to finding ways to give back to society. The video also underscores Boardwalk's belief in Share as a way to spark hope among the economically-challenged to fulfill their dreams.
The event features the Walk to Share video via a 360 video projector focusing on the beneficiaries of Share or "Sharepreneurs"
With actress KC Concepcion and Gerard Garcia hosting, the event kicks off with a fashion show featuring celebrities and Share ambassadors Alden Richards, Janine Gutierrez, and Matteo Guidicelli dressed in fun, colourful and relaxed Share outfits, all stamped with Share's iconic hand logo. Designed in colourful variations, the logo is a reminder that every item bought enables buyers to do their share and help future entrepreneurs make their business dreams come true.

Emphasizing that Share is a fashion-forward brand, the Walk to Share event also features Filipino fashion designer Avel Bacudio as the very first Sharecreator. Named as Asia's most influential designer in 2014, Bacudio showcases his capsule collection Share x Avel, the first of Share's collaboration series which will also feature co-creations with other Filipino designers in the future.

"It's an honor to be with people who believe in us and this important program. We hope to encourage and inspire more people to do their share," says Ivan Madera, President of Share.
Boardwalk's special launch for Share is truly an event that not only highlights the company's fashion creativity, but also its commitment to do more for society. Find out how you can share your way at http://share.ph.

Hey everyone! I received another pen this week that I am really excited about – a Newton Pen! When I first started reading about different pens, I was really interested in Newton Pens because of how amazing Shawn Newton's products are as well as the message he brings to the fountain pen community with his scholarship fund for highschool students.
I did not create the design for this pen, it was all Shawn Newton. It was a pen that he had listed on his "Sales" section of his website. I have started at this pen for a couple of weeks now, wishing I could purchase it. I was able to pick up a couple hours at a local gaming store so I decided to buy the pen.
Custom Newton Gibby Pen – Small
Body Material: Ebonite and Acrylic
Color: Black, Blue, and Brown
Nib material: Stainless Steel
Fill type: Cartridge/Converter
Price: $250
One of my favorite things to see when it comes to packaging is that the packaging is one that protects the pen and is attractive. Shawn's packaging not only accomplishes these things, but is also very practical! Whenever you order a pen, it comes packaged in a pen wrap made by Elizabeth Newton, Shawn's wife, and delivered in a very nice tumbler mug! I think this is the best packaging anyone could do. Having something practical that someone can use everyday is much better than a case that will just be sitting in a box. On top of that, the pen wrap is very good for keeping your pen protected.
I really hope that other pen makers will adopt this practical style of packaging. Love.
Like I said, I stared at this pen on Shawn's website for weeks because of how amazing it looked.
The pen is absolutely beautiful with the blue and brown acrylic body and the black ebonite for the grip and the cap. I love how much dimension that the blue and brown acrylic has in it – it's things like this that I find beautiful and artistic. Another thing that caught my eye are the sliver bands. It shows off the acrylic even more because of the barrier it makes between it and the ebonite.
Nib and Performance
The nib is amazing, absolutely amazing. Shawn did a great job with the custom grind. When I sent him a description of I wanted, it was a mangled mess of words and Shawn did a great job interpreting it. The fine stub nib is the exact width that I want – a nib that can I use for everyday writing with a little bit of flair. And this is the exact thing that I received. No complaints whatsoever. I think I've fallen even more in love with steel nibs than I originally thought I had.
In Hand Feel and Balance
For me, the pen is a little large (I have small hands), but the pen is lightweight so that doesn't matter too much. It is much more balanced unposted, but I can't help but write with a pen posted. Even when it is posted, it still feels pretty good in my hand.
The ebonite is a great material for the grip as well. It is easy to hold, not slippery at all, and a beautiful material. I love how this pen feels in my hand.
Keep in mind that this is a SMALL pen if you get a custom pen. Shawn offers slim, small, medium, large, and oversized pens. If you get one, just make sure you are getting the right size.
Pros and Cons
Overall, I absolutely am in love with this pen, even if it is a little big. I think when I graduate I'll design a pen of my own to order from Shawn, but this time I'll do it in a slim size. The fine stub nib is amazing and I can't wait to get another one!

If you believe everything you hear, corn in west-central Indiana started coming out of the field around August 20. If you believe what I see, there was acreage harvested along sandy, gravelly areas in central Indiana by Aug. 27.
Already I've been to one meeting where a hydrologist was talking about we were into climate change. Summers were going to get warmer and hotter. He claimed that at least in central Indiana, this could wind up as the direst August on record. And while he admitted predicting climate change is tricky because by the time you're sure it's changed, it may be changing again, he sounded confident that we should prepare for hotter summers and act accordingly.
Has this professor forgot his history lesson? Just one year ago it was one of the coolest and wettest July months on record, and August wasn't much warmer. Instead of roughly 30 days of 90 degrees F or so to date, there were six the entire season. And the year before, in 2008, there were only eight. This is based on central Indiana weather statistics but the temperature data should hold fairly uniform across the Corn Belt.
Climate change, or just Mother Nature proving who is in charge? Last year corn yielded record yields, but came on at high moisture contents. Farmers who hadn't dried much corn for a while remembered that someday they were going to upgrade their dryer. Many did this past winner. Dryers were the hit of the Louisville Farm Show in February. Companies couldn't even promise when they could get them all made and delivered. It was much the same way for storage bins.
Now suddenly some farmers may not get to try that new dryer out this fall, unless they do it just to say they did it, and make sure it works. What a difference one season makes.
It seems premature to go back talking about climate change making it hotter for growing corn here after one of the coolest seasons in memory just a year ago. Last fall was the toughest fall for harvesting and drying in 35 years. This might be the earliest in who knows how many years.
Be ready to get your corn in on time before stalk rots take over. But be careful about making wholesale changes to adapt to a new kind of weather pattern based on the past two years, agronomists advise.

Liam Gallagher 'drops lawsuit against Noel'
Liam announced plans to sue his ex-bandmate for libel on Friday (19Aug11), insisting Noel was lying when he told reporters that the singer pulled out of V Festival because he had a hangover.
Rather than slam his sibling's action, Noel played peacemaker during a webchat with fans on Monday (22Aug11) and confirmed the band axed the show because Liam had laryngitis, the reason given at the time.
He also added that their feud was "getting very silly and a little bit out of hand".
Now Liam has instructed his lawyers to scrap the suit after hearing his brother's comments and seeing how upset their mother was over the drama, reports The Sun.
A source tells the newspaper, "Liam had spoken to his mum Peggy and she was upset by the whole episode.
"That was playing on his mind then he had a moment of realisation that Noel wasn't being vindictive - he was just being cheeky. It was an anger that had built up over two years because he was so angry Oasis was over.
"In the cold light of day he realised his brother was actually being quite calm about it all, and decided a legal battle was a bad idea. Hopefully that will draw a line under it all and everyone can move on."

Japanese beech, Fagus creanta, abut 50 years old, 80 cm high, pot Japan. This tree was imported into Germany from Japan in around 2004. It was in my garden in 2007 and the first three images show the state at that time. Then I thought that the tree was too high, too slim and the nebari was not so good, and it was leaning way too much forward. Anyway it was worked over by Hirotoshi Saitho in spring of 2010. In spring of this year I suddenly liked the tree very much but saw some possible improvements. I hate to acquire a tree on which I cannot put my personal stamp very soon.
Yesterday this tree finally found it's way into my garden. The very first thing that I did was to uncover the nebari. There was this ugly big root right in front. That was the reason why it was planted way too much forward in the past. This covered this root, but created a different problem. Well, iItook the big die grinder and just carved this root away. Nobody has dared to do this so far because in Japan one is absolutely not allowed to have a big hole on a deciduous tree. And certainly not a hole right in front very visible. Well, here in my garden one is allowed and it can well add interest to tree. We will see how this develops. I like it much better afterwards.
In addition I could then straighten the tree again a little and place it a bit more upright. The crown was edited. Some wire taken off and new wire applied to lower branches. I like it better now. We will see the development and I will report.

Why didn't you cut that root completely off?

I may still do so.

Some people are overobsessed with nebaris. I think "real" roots with some space - "valleys" - could really help here. But I have to see the real tree. I think it is great anyway :)

Energy suppliers across Europe are facing unprecedented levels of scrutiny from governments, regulators and the general public. Trust is high up our client's agenda.
At the same time, suppliers want to deliver energy at affordable prices and differentiate themselves through value-added services.
New entrants pose a threat to the major players in the sector. They bring fresh thinking to the customer experience, and do not have some of the legacy that constrains established players.
Suppliers in GB are also grappling with the fallout of the CMA investigation, the green agenda and seismic market initiatives such as Smart technologies.
We help suppliers reduce their cost to serve, shape and deliver transformational change and develop new ways of working in a highly regulated world. We advise utilities, government bodies, regulators and third-party suppliers on the possibilities of a radically altering market and the implications of proposed changes on business models and end customers.

(See more info below)
The 100th anniversary of the death of Queen Liliʻuokalani will be on November 11, 2017. The University of Hawai'i at Mānoa Hawaiʻinuiākea School of Hawaiian Knowledge is observing the centennial with an exhibit of her papers, songs and photographs at Hamilton Library in September and October, as well as the concert, "Hoʻohāliʻaliʻa: Remembering Her Majesty," at Kennedy Theatre on Saturday, October 7.
"A century after her passing, this remarkable leader remains an exemplary symbol of ability, grace, ethics and courage," said Interim Dean of Hawaiʻinuiākea School of Hawaiian Knowledge Jon Osorio. "We have to take the time and remember her example and leadership that still inspires us today. Our hope is that this exhibit and concert will celebrate her life and legacy and introduce our beloved queen to those who do not know her."
Four themes – mākaukau (ability), no'eau (grace and talent), kū i ka pono (ethics) and wiwo'ole (courage) provide the structure for the centennial events.
The Hamilton Library Exhibit
September 8, 2017 through October 15, 2017
The exhibit, curated by Kamakakūokalani Librarian Keahiahi Long and Associate Professor April Drexel, includes 31 different pieces from five different repositories – including the Hawai'i State Archives, 'Iolani Palace, Hawai'i Pacific Collection of UH Mānoa's Hamilton Library, Mission Houses Library – such as:
The Black Ribbon Dress. A reproduction of the black ribbon dress that the then-Princess Liliʻuokalani wore to Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee, celebrating the 50th anniversary of Victoria's accession to the throne. The dress is famously depicted in a portrait on display at ʻIolani Palace. The reproduction was commissioned by The Friends of 'Iolani Palace.
Hand-written songsheets. The Queen was a prolific composer and the exhibit showcases reproductions of a selection of the Queen's mele as written in her own hand. Courtesy of the Hawaiʻi State Archives.
The exhibit is free and open to the public.
Hoʻohāliʻaliʻa: Remembering Her Majesty
October 7, 2017, 7 p.m.

Long (10 seconds)
"The decisions that she makes when she is a ruler, and while she is training to be a ruler, and after she is a ruler, it's hard to be not affected by her story and by her power."
Jon Osorio - Interim Dean, UH Mānoa Hawaiʻinuiākea School of Hawaiian Knowledge (12 seconds)
"The Queen represents for us all of the things you could want, that you could ever want in a leader: compassion, courage, integrity, grace under fire."

Day 13 of the 90 in 90 blog challenge.
(Close up of WOMAN's anguished face.)
WOMAN: Are you feeling… tired? Worthless? Do you feel like there is no reason to live? No reason to breathe? No reason to… do your laundry?
(Shot of a housewife picking up a pair of pants out of the washer. Suddenly, she drops them mid-transfer to the dryer. She covers her face in shame.)
WOMAN: Studies show that 23 out of 36.4 Americans have trouble figuring out what to do with their lives at some point in time during their lives. Life is confusing and hard, and everyone is suffering.
(Shots of various people dropping laundry, cleaning supplies, and briefcases. They all cover their faces in shame.)
WOMAN: But now! You don't have to suffer anymore. Now? There is Lunatylemidonolozoft.
(The various people uncover their faces and look up towards a growing, warm light.)
WOMAN: Lunatylemidonolozoft is a drug. It has been clinically proven to treat some problems of some people, some of the time.
(A business man bends down and picks up his briefcase.)
WOMAN: It has been clinically approved by a group of men who wear perfectly ironed shirts and have name plates on their desks in their offices. They also sometimes floss after brushing.
(A father helps his daughter ride a 2 wheeled bike for the first time.)
WOMAN: Lunatylemidonolozoft is not for everyone. (A college student places a notebook in their backpack at the conclusion of a lecture.) People who fall asleep easily or enjoy eating at Subway should not take Lunatylemidonolozoft. (An Australian Shepperd catches a frisbee.) Side effects include, but are not limited to, headaches, dizziness, nausea, substantial weight gain, arm pit irritation, explosive acne, arthritis, unfortunately timed flatulence, constipation, complete nervous system failure, and a sudden unexplained fear of elevators. These side effects have only affected people who have taken Lunatylemidonolozoft for three consecutive days or more. (A mother watches proudly while her daughter brings a casserole dish to the table.) In rare cases, people have reported vomiting blood, losing their voice, and growing skin tags under their tongues in the shapes of European countries. These claims have yet to be proven. (A man opens a jar of mayonnaise for his wife.) Do not take Lunatylemidonolozoft if you are pregnant, nursing, hoping to become pregnant, have been kind of pregnant once or maybe twice, planning on becoming pregnant next Wednesday, or are currently holding a baby. (Close up of a hand signing "Happy 1st Birthday! Love, Grandpa.") Sexual problems including a lowered sex drive, erectile dysfunction, left breast loss, or just the complete inability to have an orgasm, ever, are common but reversible, maybe. (A construction worker stops his jack hammer, wipes his brow, and smiles at the sun.)
WOMAN: Just listen to these testimonies!
REBEL TEENAGER: (Blank stare.) I used to feel like nothing mattered and I felt worthless. Now, with Lunatylemidonolozoft, I don't feel anything…. (Beat.) It's awesome.
DENTIST: I was having trouble getting out of bed. I was letting my patients down, my wife down, but worst of all, I was letting myself down. Now, with Lunatylemidonolozoft, I feel like a computer. And I still let my wife down.
HOUSEWIFE: (Tongue swollen with skin tags) Thewfs uh gud chanths I won geh bettah.
PREGNANT WOMAN: (Popping a pill while absentmindedly rubbing her belly. Then, she notices the camera. Wide, guilty pupils.) … Oops.
WOMAN: (strolling through a field of wildflowers, letting a chiffon scarf billow behind her.) So talk to your doctor to see if Lunatylemidonolozoft is right for you. You don't have to be sad and confused about your life! You don't have to feel worthless! You can start to get your normal life back. It starts… with Lunatylemidonolozoft.
(Close up of the Lunatylemidonolozoft bottle)
WOMAN: (Voice Over) Lunatylemidonolozoft; An easy choice. Kind of.

CodeWeavers on Wednesday announced that its CrossOver technology, which enables Linux users to run Windows applications on their computers, will support Macs once Apple makes the move to Intel processors next year. CrossOver was built on UNIX, as was Mac OS X, but the technology wasnit previously available in the Mac world because it requires Intel chips. Apple currently uses PowerPC chips jointly developed by IBM and Motorola.
CrossOver is based on the open source software WINE (WINE Is Not an Emulator), which runs Windows applications on Linux machines without resorting to emulation. Developers will be able to use CrossOver to port their Windows applications to the Mac more easily, according to CodeWeavers, which also provides porting services. The company also sells CrossOver Office, which Linux users employ to natively run Windows applications -- that software will also be available for Intel-based Macs when they ship.
Currently, running Windows applications on a Mac means using Microsoftis Virtual PC, an emulator that is almost useless for any software that is hardware intensive. However, CodeWeavers said in a statement: "By installing CrossOver Office on Intel-based Macs, many Windows-only applications, including Windows-based games, utilities, and business applications, will operate seamlessly and reliably."
Apple expects to ship the first Intel-based Macs a year from now and will complete the switchover by the end of 2007. The company has not revealed which computers will receive Intel chips first, nor has it publicly supported CrossOver or WINE as a means for Windows developers to get their software onto Macs.
