It has been several years since I have posted about the Grand Ball and I thought maybe people would like to know about the Ball and happy of a moment in time it was for all of us.
I know my brain processed things differently than most everyone else does, and especially since the cancer and death of Heather. When I found out Heather was in remission, the only thing that came to my mind was to have a party. This seemed normal to me to celebrate. Of course, my party planning turned from a party into the Grand Duchess Cancer Survivor Grand Ball. I rented a resort ballroom and began searching for all the right decorations for a Princess-type ball. The more I planned, the bigger it got. I just thought it would be the best way to celebrate cancer being gone, honoring Heather, and to thank medical staff, family, and friends for all their support during her treatments. The friends that prayed, cleaned my house, collected our mail, brought meals, and helped keep us going deserved to be thanked as well. The nurses told me they had never been invited to such a party before.
The colors for the ball were pink, black, and white. Heather's favorite princess was Aurora, otherwise known as Sleeping Beauty. The ball was tiaras, castles, glass slippers, and everything else that goes with a true princess. She tried to find a pink dress but really could not find something that looked right. I decided to take her to a dress and bridal shop to take a look. We ended up at Susanne's Bridal in Gilbert. Heather tried on many dresses, but none of them looked or felt right. She could possibly have been affected by the steroids during the ball and would need a dress that could adjust for the swelling that occurred with steroids. Finally the gal that helped us brought out one final dress; it was blue, but she decided to give it a try. It was PERFECT! She knew the moment she slipped it on that this was the ball gown for her. I could tell by the look in her eyes that she loved it. It was a bit more costly than I expected, but the look on Heather's face was priceless when I told the salesperson we would take it. I had not seen her so excited for a very long time.
Heather decided that she would be Cinderella with the blue gown instead of Aurora. Her next task was to find her "glass" slippers. She managed to find some thin metal mesh shoes with crystals on them. They were perfect as well. The last thing I needed to make her night complete was a white limo to take her to the ball. I had checked before, and they were very expensive. I called Desert Rose, the limousine service, and told them my plans, and they were eager to help. They would already be over on our side of town and had hours to kill before they would pick up their other customers. They charged me very little and were happy to help me out. Now everything was absolutely perfect for my Princess Heather.
Saturday, November 8, the day of the Grand Ball arrived, and it was busy. The first thing I did was go get my hair done, and I was really excited because I had never had my hair done before. It was wonderful, and I enjoyed every minute of it. Our family all met for lunch and then stopped by the golf resort to check on the decorations. I had a vision in my mind, but nothing prepared me for how beautiful it all came together. All the tables were perfect. They were named after Disney princesses, and then placed in the center of the table was a description of each princess. The linens were white with black cloth napkins; the pink program was placed on the plates and the glass slipper party favors with the pink M&M's were placed at the top. Each table had a metallic one-foot-tall 3-D castle on a mirror with tiara tea lights placed around the castle in the center. The cake table had pink tulle around a stunning three-tiered wedding-style cake that was white and pink with tiaras on it. Clear crystals were placed on the pink tulle and a spotlight was placed under the floor length table cloth to illuminate the table.
It was time to get ready, and the royal family left early to get things in place before the Duchess Heather arrived. Each guest was handed a sparkler, and they lined the walkway where Heather would enter. All the guests were dressed in their finest clothes, and it had just turned dark when the white limo arrived with Heather. She looked stunning and was so happy. It was as if cancer had never entered our world. All our family, friends, and most all, the medical staff smiled and blew kisses and were in awe at how beautiful she looked.Our evening began with a toast from Dave Martin, Heather's third grade teacher and close family friend. Next came our new friend, Nurse Gayle, and the toasts ended with Bill and me expressing our thanks and extreme joy at reaching this moment. Then the buffet was opened, and the food and fun began. Everyone ate, visited and had a great time. After dinner it was dessert time, and Heather cut the cake while Jenn, Wendy, and I looked on. Each guest was served the most delicious cake with a hand-dipped chocolate strawberry. The evening was over much too quickly, and all too soon it was time to pack up and go home.
Heather rode home in an open-top Jeep with Wendy and a friend. She still had her ball gown on but had taken off her wig because she did not want it to get wind-blown. She was laughing and giggling as they came in the door and told us about the crazy looks people gave them when they stopped at red lights and they saw her all dressed up with no hair. We all went out into the back yard and lit the rest of the sparklers as we laughed and talked about the evening. Some people had brought cards and gifts to celebrate the end of cancer and Heather opened those. Bill was also our official photographer, and we looked at all the wonderful photos of the night. It had been a glorious evening and was best described as a wedding reception without the groom. Heather asked me later if that was what it felt like to be a bride. I told her yes. She told me she loved being dressed up and she had the best time. She gave me a big hug and kiss and told me she loved me to the moon and back. I hugged her tightly and told her I loved her to the sky and back as I held my Little Dolly Girl.

An 88-year-old woman presented with a 5-day history of nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain at the emergency department. Her medical history included sick sinus syndrome and atrial flutter, for which she underwent permanent pacemaker implantation and radiofrequency catheter ablation 4 and 6 months earlier, respectively. She had been prescribed amiodarone for 5 months (600 mg/day for 2 months, then 400 mg/day for 3 months) due to relapsing atrial flutter after ablation.

Students who began as part of San Diego Unified's class of 2016 but who left district high schools and transferred to a charter school had a combined grade point average of 1.75 at the time they transferred, district records released through a Public Records Act request show.
That bolsters the case that charter schools acted as an escape hatch for San Diego Unified students, taking in some of the school district's lowest-performing high school students and helping the district land a 91 percent graduation rate in 2016 – the highest on record.
On a 4.0 scale, a combined GPA of 1.75 equates to a C-minus average. In order to earn a high school diploma from San Diego Unified, students have to pass all high school requirements and have a GPA of 2.0 or higher.
Not only does the data show the lowest-performing students were transferring out of the district, school officials now admit that's exactly what has happened in the past – a major reversal after vehemently denying that was the case.

Beach Buggies – South Africans are still crazy for them after all these years
The Beach Buggy was an iconic symbol of motoring freedom in the sixties and seventies.
Known in some places as the Dune Buggy, the roofless originals got their name from being built on the chassis of VW Beetles which were known affectionately as Bugs.
Such has been their resilience in the marketplace that VW are currently testing the market for an e-Buggy - an electric powered vehicle with large wheels, off road tyres, open side sills and a large, targa-style rollbar.
Gumtree Auto's Jeff Osborne says the local trade in Buggies remains very healthy with more than 100 posts connected to beach buggies on the site at the moment.
"Predictably most buggies are up for sale on the coast with surfing hot spots like Jeffreys Bay featuring prominently. But they're also available in Kimberley, the West Rand and other inland spots for dirt or sand riding and for cruising around town. There's an extraordinary range both in price – from around R17k to R95k – and in features, with one boasting a 1966 Porsche motor and another claiming a Ferrari-style rear end."
Osborne's Top Five Gumtree Beach Buggies at the moment are:
1.1989 buggy for R55k in Port Elizabeth
2.A Nissan-based buggy for R50k in Durban
3.VW dirt-trail classic for R35k in Kuils River
4.Zooty Bumblebee Buggy for R95k on the West Rand

Fortnite is one of the world's most popular video games. That shouldn't be surprising to anyone, but Epic Games announced a huge milestone for the free-to-play title to remind us.
In a blog post, the publisher-developer confirmed there are 78.3 million players who checked in last month. Epic Games said it was the highest number of monthly active players on Fortnite ever. What was the previous record? We don't know that, but Fortnite continues showing growth across all platforms.
The number should strike you as particularly impressive because, as of this summer, around 125 million players had tried Fortnite at some point. With the monthly active players taken into consideration, Epic Games retained more than half of the player base. That's astounding, frankly.
Epic Games added that the large player base has pushed its effort to improve "critical systems." As of late, the company has worked on performance as well as security.
All players can look forward to the Fall Skirmish. Beginning in October, the competition will welcome all players to compete for cash prizes. The game modes will switch each week and pit players against each other for global dominance on Fortnite.
If you haven't dabbled in Fortnite yet, there's no reason to keep waiting. The game is free and can be played on everything from PlayStation 4 and Xbox One to PC/Mac and mobile. Just get on that Battle Bus, and you're ready to engage in some exciting warfare.

Starting in Fall 2019, ACCSAP will offer a new feature called a Performance Assessment.
CMP Performance Assessments are shorter in length, consisting of approximately 60 questions that are focused on one or two specific topic areas in cardiology such as arrhythmias. A new Performance Assessment will be available each year, covering approximately 20% of the field of cardiovascular disease, so that in a span of 5 years the breadth of general cardiology will be covered.
If you successfully engage in ACCSAP educational materials and pass the Performance Assessment that is offered each year, you will be considered by the ABIM to be satisfying the assessment requirement towards maintaining your certification. You will not need to take the ABIM 10-year MOC exam or the ABIM Knowledge Check-in (every 2 years).

There are a variety of all-natural techniques that you can employ that will create a healthy, vibrant organic garden. First, you must learn the methods, and then choose which ones you would like to implement.
You can help your plants resist disease by spraying them with aspirin water. One and a half aspirin, dissolved in two gallons of water, can be a great addition to your plants. Spray your plants with the water if they have a disease. Apply this solution to your plants every few weeks.
When you are cultivating an organic garden inside, you should think about the lighting situation. If the garden will receive little sunlight, find plants that can grow in medium or low-light environments. If you have a different type of plant, extra lighting can always help.
Create a space perfect for any perennial garden with this easy method. Simply slice into the ground with a spade, flip the top layer of soil, and then cover it with several inches of wood chips. Let the area sit for a fortnight, then turn the earth and set up your new perennial bed.
Have your tools for gardening nearby in order to maximize your efficiency with gardening. Use a large bucket, or wear rugged pants with several pockets. Tools you'll need to garden efficiently include towels, gloves, pruning shears and other plant-specific tools.
Coffee Grounds
Add used coffee grounds to your soil. Coffee grounds are rich in nitrogen, an essential nutrient for plant growth. Nitrogen is often the most important nutrient when it comes to plants thriving, and a solid source of nitrogen, like coffee grounds, urea, or compost, can boost growth speed and increase height.
A raised bed can be built with untreated wood, brick or stone. Make sure the wood you use is untreated and rot resistant. Some good choices you might consider are locust, cedar, and cypress. Never use compost from treated woods in a veggie garden; the chemicals can contaminate your food. If you have some space treated wood, you can still use it, however, be sure to line it with some type of barrier like plastic sheeting.
Adopting organic gardening methods may take more effort than traditional approaches, but the payoff is considerably worth it. While chemical claims are wondrous, growing organically is a great reward to whomever eats your produce.
Depending on the season and weather, adjust your watering habits. When watering your plants, consider the time you are watering them, the kind of soil you are using and how good the water is. For instance, if you live in a warm, humid climate watering the leaves can cause leaf fungus. Instead, aim to water the root system only.
A superior garden can be created when one has adequate knowledge about how they can render the most from their plants. Use the tips provided here for organic gardening.

The Braves are wearing this patch to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Hank Aaron becoming MLB's home run king.
• During a pregame ceremony before Tuesday's Braves home opener, Atlanta will recognize the 40th anniversary of Hank Aaron's 715th home run. The shot came on April 8, 1974 and broke Babe Ruth's record. The Braves are wearing patches this season to commemorate the anniversary. Aaron, 80, will be on hand. He underwent partial left hip replacement surgery Feb. 14 after falling on ice.
• The Braves unexpectedly dumped Freddy Garcia on March 24 and signed 35-year-old Aaron Harang for a rotation spot. Harang took a no-hit bid into the seventh inning in Milwaukee in his Braves debut. Opposing pitcher Matt Garza also took a no-hit bid into that frame. Logan Schafer's single to lead off the bottom of the seventh ended Harang's bid. Harang, who finished last season with the Mets, had been released by the Cleveland Indians late in spring training.
• Ervin Santana signed for one-year, $14.1 million on March 12 after Kris Medlen and Brandon Beachy both suffered spring-training elbow injuries and ultimately required Tommy John surgery. Santana, who had a 3.24 ERA in 32 starts for the Kansas City Royals last season, will make his Braves debut Wednesday against the Mets. He allowed six runs (five earned) in 5 1/3 innings on Friday for Triple-A Gwinnett against Durham in his final tune-up.
• Atlanta also is missing a third starting pitcher -- left-hander Mike Minor. Minor, hindered by shoulder tendinitis during spring training, logged two innings for Double-A Mississippi on Thursday in a rehab start.
• Right-hander David Hale tossed five scoreless innings in his season debut at the Washington Nationals on Friday. It was his third career major-league start. Last September, Hale limited the San Diego Padres and Philadelphia Phillies to a combined one run in 13 innings. He is a third-round pick in 2009 out of Princeton. To earn the rotation role, Hale beat out fellow rookie Gus Schlosser, who instead found a spot in the bullpen as a longer reliever.
• The Braves claimed ex-Met Pedro Beato off waivers from the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday.
• Brothers B.J. Upton and Justin Upton were a combined 2-for-31 with 16 strikeouts through Friday before each produced a two-hit game Saturday at Nationals Park.
• The Braves lead the majors with a 1.56 ERA.
• Closer Craig Kimbrel notched his 142nd career save Friday, passing Gene Garber for second on the franchise's all-time list. John Smoltz owns the franchise record with 154 saves. Smoltz also won 210 games as a Brave.
• The Braves went on a late-winter signing binge, locking up several core players long term. The signings:
Feb. 5: First baseman Freddie Freeman, eight years, $135 million
Feb. 14: Right-hander Julio Teheran, six years, $32.4 million
Feb. 16: Kimbrel, four years, $42 million
Feb. 20: Shortstop Andrelton Simmons, seven years, $58 million
Right fielder Jason Heyward also signed for two years, $13.3 million on Feb. 4 to avoid arbitration.
• Simmons earned his first Gold Glove last season.
• The Braves, who have played at Turner Field since it opened for baseball the year after the 1996 Olympics, will move to a new ballpark in Cobb County for the 2017 season. The 42,000-seat stadium, which will be located 10 miles north of downtown Atlanta, is projected to cost $672 million. The Braves have disputed the publicly financed contribution to that price tag, which has been reported as $450 million.
• The probable Braves batting order:
Heyward, rf
B.J. Upton, cf
Freeman, 1b
Chris Johnson, 3b
Justin Upton, lf
Dan Uggla, 2b
Evan Gattis/Gerald Laird/Ryan Doumit, c
Simmons, ss
• Over the weekend, Heyward dealt with muscle spasms in the back of his neck that have resulted in headaches. He still wears a protective flap attached to his helmet to protect his jaw, which he fractured on a 90 mph fastball from Jonathon Niese last August.

When the Yale literary theorist Paul de Man died in 1983, he was hailed as a brilliant teacher who had helped turn deconstruction, the critical approach originated by Jacques Derrida, into an insurgent force in American intellectual life.
Four years later, though, the discovery that as a young man in Nazi-occupied Belgium de Man had written some 200 literary articles for a collaborationist newspaper — including a 1941 essay musing on the impact on European literature if the Jews were relocated to an isolated colony — landed like a bombshell.
De Man's photograph appeared in Newsweek, juxtaposed with images of Nazis on the march. And critics of deconstruction, inside and outside the academy, pounced, arguing that a school of thought long dismissed as cultish "critical terrorism" was something even more sinister.
Those battles may seem like a distant memory. But now, the first full-length biography of de Man threatens to reopen the debate over his legacy, weaving together old and new charges to paint him not just as a collaborator, but also as a swindler, forger, bigamist and deceiver whose philosophical ideas grew out of "lifelong habits of secrecy."
"The Double Life of Paul de Man," by Evelyn Barish, to be released officially next Monday by Liveright, has already generated a kind of double response. Kirkus Reviews, among other enthusiastic early notices, praised it as "a riveting biography" of a "master confidence man." Some scholars and former colleagues of de Man, though, have called it a strangely belated, questionably documented "gotcha" exercise.
In a recent interview in her Upper West Side apartment, Ms. Barish, 78, insisted she was not aiming to write an exposé, and noted that she had rejected an early title, "Paul de Man: A Life of Betrayals," as an overly harsh "smack upside the head."
"I wanted to get deeper," she said, "and actually understand what he had done."
Ms. Barish, a specialist on 19th-century American transcendentalism who retired from the City University of New York in 1997, might seem an unlikely de Man biographer. She knew him slightly in the mid-1960s, when both were on the faculty at Cornell, but found his lectures "impenetrable."
When the scandal broke in 1987, however, she was shocked by his wartime journalism and intrigued by charges, aired by a Belgian former associate at an academic conference but not substantiated, that he had swindled friends and family through a publishing company he set up after the war.
She visited Belgium, digging deep into the archives and tracking down relatives and acquaintances. She signed a contract in 1992 with Basic Books, but the complexities of the research, compounded by health problems, led to delays. After bouncing between agents and publishers, the project was picked up by Liveright in 2011.
The finished product, drawing on nearly 200 interviews and archival research in several countries, certainly presents a juicy and highly unflattering portrait. In occupied Belgium, she contends, de Man was not just a "dubious book reviewer" but also a well-paid employee of several collaborationist publishing companies, as well as a driving force behind a proposed art magazine extolling Nazi ideology.
After the war, the authorities declined to prosecute him for collaboration, following an interrogation whose documentation Ms. Barish said she was the first to discover. But in the archives, Ms. Barish uncovered records of a 1951 trial sentencing de Man — who had left for America in 1948 — to five years in prison for fraud in connection with his postwar publishing company, Hermès, which Ms. Barish depicts as an elaborate self-enrichment scheme.
His early career in America, in her telling, was also checkered. In New York, he mingled with the Partisan Review crowd, winning the trust, and then the enmity, of Mary McCarthy (who, Ms. Barish speculates, might have become pregnant by him). As an instructor at Bard College from 1949 to 1951, he alienated colleagues, racked up debts and entered into a bigamous marriage with a student, abandoning his Belgian wife (whom he divorced a decade later) and their three young sons.
At Harvard, where de Man was a star Ph.D. student, Ms. Barish shows him fudging his academic résumé, wriggling out of required exams and, in 1954, just barely explaining away anonymous allegations about his past.
"He was a shape-shifter who could slip and fall and find his footing again," she said in the interview. "He was an enormously persuasive reinventor of himself."
Some material in Ms. Barish's book has been published by others in the years since she began her research. And some scholars do not find all her interpretations persuasive.
Ortwin de Graef, the Belgian researcher who discovered de Man's wartime journalism, credits her with uncovering some important documents, including the prospectus for the art journal, written with the pro-Nazi newspaper editor Raymond De Becker, who was sentenced to death for treason after the war.
But Mr. de Graef questioned the suggestion that the document showed deeper pro-Nazi sympathies in de Man, noting that the part Ms. Barish says is in his handwriting "turns out to be pretty bland stuff about implementation."
"It just confirms what we already knew," he said in an interview. "De Man is doing something he likes doing, publishing art magazines, and he's willing to do it with a Nazi nitwit."
Peter Brooks, a former Yale colleague of de Man's now at Princeton, called Ms. Barish's book "fascinating at times," but faulted her for depicting his early career in America as part of a long con rather than the beginnings of a serious intellectual enterprise.
"I'm not saying his past should be forgotten — far from it," said Mr. Brooks, who has reviewed "The Double Life of Paul de Man" for The New York Review of Books. "But it shouldn't be used as a blunt instrument to dismiss all his thought."
Ms. Barish's story effectively ends in 1960, when de Man left Harvard for Cornell. She has little to say about his years at Yale, where he helped give deconstructive theory a foothold in America, and she admits to having spent little time with his mature writings. "In another lifetime, I would have gotten hold of more of it," she said. "In many ways, I don't understand it." But her verdict on his philosophy — "this idea that meaning cannot be pinned down," and that "clear-cut moral judgments are impossible," as she put it — is unstinting. "To me," she said, "it's just a waste of time."
To admirers of de Man's work, Ms. Barish's interpretation is a gross misreading. It was not, they say, a nihilistic flight from truth and history, but a painstaking confrontation with the instability of the rhetoric underlying our larger claims for meaning. Still, few would dispute that the scandal over the wartime journalism damaged the careers of some of de Man's students — "Some people reacted very defensively and boxed themselves in," said Thomas Keenan, a former de Man student now teaching at Bard — while his work virtually disappeared from course syllabuses.
Deconstruction itself has had a long pop-culture afterlife, with the word applied to everything from fashion to architecture to dessert. And today, de Man may be making a quiet comeback in the academy.
Martin McQuillan, 42, a professor at Kingston University in London and editor of a forthcoming volume of de Man's unpublished notebooks, said Ms. Barish's book was a belated artifact of culture wars that mean little to a younger generation, some of whom are turning to de Man with fresh eyes.
He cited an uptick in Ph.D. dissertations touching on de Man, as well as recent books like "Theory and the Disappearing Future," a joint effort by older and younger scholars that draws on a previously unpublished de Man lecture to analyze the narratives of crisis surrounding terrorism, financial collapse and climate change.
"What we're doing is a de Man reboot, sort of like a 'Star Trek' reboot," Mr. McQuillan said.
In a 1982 essay defending literary theory against its detractors, de Man recalled an undergraduate class taught at Harvard in the 1950s by the scholar of English literature Reuben Brower — himself no theorist — which insisted on ruthlessly close, impersonal attention to "the way meaning is conveyed rather than on the meaning itself."
"I have never known a course," de Man wrote, "by which students were so transformed."
It's de Man's similar effect on readers, rather than any grander claims for theory, some scholars say, that constitutes his own legacy. "He brought people to a greater attentiveness to language, and the strange ways language behaved," Mr. Brooks said. "He made the people who read him better readers."

Mitten State Stamps – Autumn Leaves with Distress Oxide
I had this distress oxide background sitting in a bin from some playing I did back when they first came out. I have a hard time throwing stuff like that away, but then I end up with bunches of things that just sit there. I thought this particular one would work well with my Autumn Leaves stamp, so I stamped it on top. Lookie:
GOJUS! I did paint in some other colors on top of the leaves after stamping with Versafine Onyx Black.
Then I added some of the new Technique Junkies Shimmering Bliss Harvest Sunset on top of the piece after it was dry. WOW! WOWZA! This really added such richness to this piece.
I used a TJ stamp to create the greeting on vellum, using some Altenew Copper EP. Then I thought it looked more like Rose Gold, so I added the Prima washi tape on top. And for good measure, some Pretty Pink Posh Rose Gold Sequins and this cute feather from Kaisercraft. Sometimes it's hard to know when to stop, but I think I chose the right time.
It's terrible, just terrible. Not the card, no, that is GOJUS!!! It's the fact that now I will never throw stuff away just in case I can do something this awesome with it.
