Police said 22-year-old Jonathan Meyer had been drinking with a friend Friday night when he tried to drop to a second-story balcony and missed. The Lewiston Tribune reports he was unconscious when police arrived. He was taken to Pullman Regional Hospital and later transferred to a Spokane hospital. The university says Meyer is a senior. This is the third alcohol-related fall at WSU and the University of Idaho in the past month. A 19-year-old WSU student was injured in a three-story fall Sept. 14 at a fraternity. A 21-year-old University of Idaho student was injured in a two-story fall Sept. 12 at his fraternity. Comments | More in The Blotter | Topics: fall, Kirkland, student

So, What's Up With Ugov?
In October 2009, the DNI announced that the USG's "Ugov" service would be terminated, apparently on the belief that it was an unpopular, pointless system that nobody actually used. That was incorrect, and a lot of people elsewhere in the government raised a stink, so the service got a six-month reprieve. Last I heard, the plan was to "explore alternatives", but nuke the system somewhere in 2Q10.
The second quarter has come and gone… but ugov is still up, and there doesn't appear to have ever been any sort of public announcement or discussion of any kind regarding its fate.
Anyone know what the current plans are? Is it still living on borrowed time? Or did the DNI grow a clue, and decide to spare the system?
Both comments and pings are currently closed.

How To Get The Best Acne Scar Treatment!
There are different kinds of acne scars that can be wiped away with scar treatment or product. The difficulty is in locating the most appropriate one that works for you.
The appropriate acne scar treatment for you can also be used while also using acne treatments to assist in clearing away breakouts like: blackheads, pustules, cysts, nodules and whiteheads from your skin. The difference is that acne scar treatments are a lot stronger in their medications to help you in wiping away any breakouts as efficiently as possible. You should however bear in mind that the best acne scar treatments are usually too strong for you to use them daily or else you would do serious damage to the skin. If you want to make a scar vanish in the shortest possible time before a crucial event then you can see a dermatologist to recommend the best scar treatment that you can use to remove the stubborn spot problem.
There are so many types of treatments that you can use for your dark spots when you are about to sleep and these also deal with breakouts throughout the night. In the morning you would discover that your blemishes would have reduced a bit. You however need to ensure that you follow the proper directions of any treatment that you are using because they vary - some are even meant to be used for only 30 minutes so be careful!
It is a bit difficult for you to select the best option for you because there are currently so many acne scar treatment that you can choose from. Treatments come in liquid form which can be spread over the skin to deal with the scarring properly. While some treatment come in the shape of medicated patches which you place of the scarred area. The way you use each treatment is dependent on the directions given by the manufacturer. If you want to locate the best treatment, then first use products which have essential oils and natural ingredients in them (a product like Illuminatural 6i can help you click here for the product video). If these types fail you, then you can go the route of using a chemical treatment.
If you try a chemical treatment and you still don't see the results that you want, you can always visit a dermatologist that can tell you the needed changes that you have got to make in your lifestyle and diet and who would give you a prescription from stronger medications that would help in dealing with both your acne breakouts and scarring.
However you can always try using a product like Illuminatural 6i to lighten your darks spots and acne scarring. The good thing about this product is that it is made from plant-based ingredients that don't irritate your skin and still gives impressive results. You would begin seeing noticeable results after like 4 weeks of use. Watch the video below to know more about this product.

A few weeks ago IGN reported that Valve - the makers of Portal 2, Left 4 Dead, and Half-Life - would not be present at this year's E3.
But now it seems they've got something to show. The only confirmed project Valve is working on is DOTA 2 - a fantasy strategy game for PC and Mac. But Valve could, of course, announce futher DLC for their highly-acclaimed FPS-puzzler.
Silly question perhaps, but what would you like Valve to reveal?
Gamescom will run from August 17 to 21 in Cologne, Germany, and IGN will be there to make sure you don't miss anything.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is the bacterium responsible for several difficult-to-treat infections. Frome Wiki
MRSA is any strain of Staphylococcus aureus that has developed, through the process of natural selection, resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics, which include the penicillins (methicillin, dicloxacillin, nafcillin, oxacillin, etc.) and the cephalosporins.
MRSA infections are more difficult to treat and thus more dangerous.
MRSA is especially troublesome in hospitals, prisons and nursing homes. Places where patients with open wounds, invasive devices, and weakened immune systems are at greater risk of infection than the general public.

Crispin Freeman is the oldest of three children, having a younger brother, Clark, and a younger sister, Cassidy. All three siblings attended the Latin School of Chicago, where he graduated in 1990 in a class of 60. He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from Williams College, majoring in Theater and minoring in Computer Science. Afterwards, he earned his Master of Fine Arts degree from Columbia University in Acting, and performed on Broadway (New York City), at the American Repertory Theater in (Cambridge), at the Mark Taper Forum in (Los Angeles), at Cincinnati's Playhouse in the Park, and at the Williamstown Theater Festival.
As a child, Freeman was greatly influenced by anime shows such as Speed Racer and Battle of the Planets (Gatchaman). Casey Kasem voiced the role of his favorite character, Mark of Battle of the Planets, a.k.a., Ken the Eagle in Gatchaman. He actually wanted to change his name to Mark at one point. Later, he discovered Voltron, Star Blazers, and Robotech, being quoted in the January 1999 issue of America Interview saying, "That show really blew me away."
Freeman initially got involved in the anime voice-over industry when a friend of his landed a role in Peacock King. Knowing Freeman was a big anime fan, the friend suggested he call up Central Park Media and apply for a job doing English dubs. At first he didn't see why, being a fan of subtitles, rather than the English counter-parts. It wasn't until he remembered all of the anime shows he watched as a child did he realize that most people are introduced to anime through the English dubbed versions.
In 1995, Freeman landed the role of Zelgadiss Graywords in Slayers. He was the second and final voice actor to get the job after Zelgadiss' original voice actor, Daniel Cronin, lost contact with Central Park Media after a year-long halt in the dubbing.
Since then, Freeman has had various roles throughout his career, including Electro in The Spectacular Spider-Man, the roles of Hagi, Joel the 6th, and Van Argeno in Blood+, Itachi Uchiha in Naruto and Naruto Shippuden, Alucard in Hellsing TV and Hellsing Ultimate, Kamekura in Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki (OVA 3), Kyon in The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, and Shizuo Heiwajima in Durarara!!.
On August 11th, 2007, he married his love, Izobel Carol, on the island of Hawaii at the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel. His brother Clark was best man.

When it comes to surfing, epic rides or wipeouts are what normally garnish the most attention. But what about when animals are caught surfing? We've all seen videos of dogs catching a few rides, and even surfing dolphins, who seem to be the most talented. But black swans?
This footage, caught off the shore in Kirra, Australia shows four swans having a ball in the water, uninterrupted. Not only are they enjoying themselves, but they seem to be sharing the same stoke many of us find in the waves. If this doesn't brighten your Monday, perhaps Kama the surfing pig can do some good.

File Under 2018 #9: On Body and Soul/
In the changing way we think about theatrical releases, On Body and Soul is the first film of 2018 that really is a 2017 film but might be a 2018 film. I recognize that this is probably uninteresting and unimportant to basically everyone, but when you challenge yourself to write a blog about every 2018 film you've seen over the year and you see On Body and Soul [a film you watched on Netflix streaming about a week ago] show up on the official list of NYC theatrical releases, you would feel obligated to at least make some sort of effort to write something up.
If you've heard of On Body and Soul it is probably because it was named one of the five nominees for Best Foreign Language film at the upcoming Academy Awards. It is actually a pretty inspiring choice for a nomination, though I don't like its chances to pull of a victory. With the Academy, Best Foreign Language is one of the most unpredictable categories, they don't always go for the front-runners [which would probably be The Square or A Fantastic Woman this year], but that's usually because they tend to choose something on the "safer" side, a film that has more appeal over the large voting body.
To that end, On Body and Soul meets some broad genre requirements as something like a romance, even a romantic comedy, but its weird vibes and unrelatable characters [not a knock] are often aggressively antagonistic toward the viewer.
What it's about: Endre is the Chief Financial Officer for an Hungarian slaughterhouse who has vivid dreams of being a deer doing deer things -- walking around a forest, foraging for juicy leaves, drinking from streams, you know, deer things. A new quality control employee at the slaughterhouse, Maria, has vivid dreams of being a deer doing deer things, too. It is uncovered that they share these dreams when an office psychologist is brought in to analyze the employees for maleficence. But Endre and Maria are both awkward people and their attempts to come closer together outside of their dream lives is a difficult process.
Unorganized thoughts:
- The real highlight of the film is Alexandra Borbély, who plays Maria. Her performance is enchanting. The character's autistic tendencies aren't overplayed, but the mix [or lack] of emotions that Borbély puts on Maria's face throughout the film is endlessly fascinating to watch. She becomes a character that is hard to decipher and at times frustrating emotionally, but you will care for her and her journey.
- I've seen some comparisons of On Body and Soul to the work of Yorgos Lanthimos. The comparison works because of the films quirks, but it is far from perfect. On Body and Soul is more traditional in how it builds its characters -- they might be unconventional characters, but they live in something like the actual world. It also isn't quite as dark as the bulk of Lanthimos's work, but when it does go dark, again, it goes for things that are work on a realistically emotional level.
- A lot of people are going to be immediately turned off by On Body and Soul, not by the quirky characters but the very graphic slaughterhouse scenes. The film doesn't pull punches on what these people do for a living, which is an interesting touch. There are some parallels between what they do and the dreams they have, but the setting works mostly as an antagonizing choice.
- The best scene in the film comes near the climax where Maria goes to a music shop to find "love music." It isn't just a great way to explore the character's emotional and social ticks without being on the nose, it is one of the funniest and clearest comedic moments.
- Overall, On Body and Soul is a difficult film to recommend, Oscar nomination be damned. It will be far too emotionally distant for many and those who are ready for something weird might be expecting too much. Alas, it is currently streaming on Netflix, so the cost of entry is low. You might as well give it a shot, just don't blame me if you hate it.

Desertscene in association with SOUND OF LIBERATION proudly present:
The Atomic Bitchwax
plus support
August 8th 2018
Doors: 7PM
Advance tickets: £12
The Black Heart
3 Greenland Pl, Camden Town
Formed in 1993 and originally starting life as a jam band, The Atomic Bitchwax have grown into one of the signature bands of the stoner rock scene. Celebrated for their tripped out licks and driven songwriting, TAB's influence on the noughties stoner scene is undeniable. From those opening few distorted seconds of 'Stork Theme' on 1999's self-titled, right through to the closing moments of the groovy as all hell 'Liv a Little' from last year's Force Field, Bitchwax have always brought the killer stomp.
Throughout their first four releases - the numbered years - Bitchwax made their presence felt by writing timeless anthems for the scene, from 'Shit kicker' to 'Liquor Queen' to 'Hey Alright'. In 2011, they released The Local Fuzz, a sprawling monument to the riff of almost preposterous proportions; an experimental 40 minute instrumental track of over 50 riffs that pushed TAB further out into the reaches of psych than any of their previous recorded work. By the time last 2015's Gravitron and last year's Force Field rolled around though, Bitchwax were back to their traditional style whilst holding on to the intensity of their previous album.
The Atomic Bitchwax are fuzzy, psychedelic 70s worship with the killer solos to prove it.

Boiler Fuel Oil Atomizers
Good combustion is essential for the efficient running of the boiler. It gives the best possible heat release and minimum amount of deposits on the heating surfaces. Different types of fuel oil atomizers are:
Simple Pressure Jet Atomizer
Figure below shows diagrammatically the principle of the simple pressure jet atomizer. Oil fuel at a pressure of not less than 8 bar is supplied to the tangentially arranged ports, wherein it falls in pressure, resulting in the oil swirling around at high velocity inside the chamber. The greater the pressure drop the greater would be the velocity, but generally supply oil pressure would not be greater than 25 bar, high pressures create pumping and sealing problems.
At outlet from the short sharp edged orifice (care must be taken not to damage the orifice during cleaning) a hollow expanding cone of fuel droplets is produced whose initial film thickness reduces as oil supply pressure increases.
The following features of the simple pressure jet atomizer should be noted.
- Simple, inexpensive and robust.
- No moving parts, hence no possibility of seizure.
- Large range of droplet size for one pressure.
- Turn down ratio is low, about 2.5 to 1. Turndown ratio is the ratio of the burner throughput maximum to minimum. If say the maximum throughput is 2500 kg/hr, then with a turn down ratio of 2.5 to 1 the minimum throughput will be 1000 kg/hr.
- Maximum throughput is about 3200 kg/hr
- No alteration in air register arrangement for all outputs, this is a consequence of the low turndown ratio of this type of burner.
- To vary throughput the pressure must be altered, this results in variation in droplet size, hence atomization and combustion will be affected.
Spill type of pressure jet atomizer
With this type of atomizer throughput is varied by adjusting the amount of spill, i.e. the return flow from the burner.
Constant differential type atomizer
With the differential pressure between delivery and spill kept constant the pressure drop across the tangential ports is kept constant and the rotational velocity of the fuel in the swirl chamber will not alter. This will keep fuel cone angle and atomization constant.
The main disadvantage with these types of burner is the large quantity of hot oil being returned, it may prove difficult to keep control over oil temperature.
Plunger type of pressure jet atomizer
Figure below shows the principle of operation of this type of burner, as the oil supply pressure is increased the spring loaded plunger moves to uncover extra tangential oil entry holes. The pressure drop and hence the rotational velocity of the oil remains nearly constant.
Rotary or spinning cup jet atomizer
Figure below shows the arrangement in principle. It consists of a motor driven fan, metering pump and fuel cup
The fuel cup which rotates at 70 to 100 rev/second is supplied with oil at low pressure (1.7 to 4.5 bar) from the metering pump which is used to control the throughput. Due to centrifugal force and opposite swirl of air to fuel the oil film leaving the cup is rapidly broken down into relatively even sized droplets.
Main features are:
- High output possible, up to 3600 kg/h.
- Low oil supply pressure.
- At low throughputs atomization due to reduced oil film thickness is improved.
- Wide turndown ratio, up to 20:1 possible.
- Oil viscosity need only be reduced to 400 seconds Redwood number 1 for satisfactory operation.

Just can't get enough?
You may be addicted.
People can be addicted to more than just drugs and alcohol. People can get addicted to just about anything (even healthy things like running or eating well) as a way to manage and cope, to escape their responsibilities or avoid their problems. Have you struggled with addiction? We are keen to hear your story.
What were you addicted to?
What did it feel like?
Why do you think you were drawn to that particular substance or activity? What in your life were you trying to avoid or escape from?
Tell us about your darkest day or turning point.
What helped you overcome this struggle?
Or how do you keep yourself in check?
Who supports you? What helps the most?
How has this experience affected you?
How do you handle life now?
Has it changed how you view the world, yourself and/or others?
Go for 400-600 words. Email to firstname.lastname@example.com with 'couldn't get enough – your name' in the subject line.
A very simple, light example…
I sometimes get really hooked on daydreaming.
In my head, I am starting my own school in the mountains where all the kids learn circus skills and how to grow vegetables. Or I am swimming in crystal clear oceans with my delectable surfing bae.
Daydreaming is really healthy, important and enjoyable in small amounts. But if I am not careful I can get so stuck in my head I find myself not really listening when I am hanging out with my friends. Or I procrastinate and neglect my responsibilities, which means they pile up, and I feel an even stronger desire to escape someplace nicer.
But that 'someplace nicer' (aka 'greener grass') doesn't exist. Responsibilities seem to follow me wherever I go. May as well accept them and get on with it.
When I compare the reality of my life with my daydreams I feel discontented, discouraged and inadequate. If I don't pay attention to where my mind is at, this can turn into a vicious cycle and leave me feeling pretty rotten about how my life is going.
To keep myself in check I journal my thoughts out once a week or more, so they're not hanging out in my mind too long. I also try to hang out with people who do things, rather than just dream and talk about doing things. Because dreaming without a bit of doing gets me down, I've found.
You can't be a surfer if you never get in the ocean!

Europe's largest golf retailer, American Golf, has just committed to a series of new events this year, with the Golf Foundation the sole beneficiary
As part of an ongoing commitment, amid more than a little concern that insufficient numbers of youngsters are coming into golf to safeguard the future of the game, Europe's largest golf retailer, American Golf, has just announced plans for a series of events in 2015, with all the profits going towards the work of the Golf Foundation.
"We're real admirers of the work that the Golf Foundation does," said Daniel Gathercole, Head of Marketing at American Golf. "The game has been an important part of my life since I was 7 years old, so, like a lot of the staff here, I want as many children as possible to experience the same sense of enjoyment that I did teeing off on my local course."
One of the major elements of this new initiative will be the American Golf Junior Championship, with last year's American Golf Club Junior Championship at De Vere Mottram Hall in Cheshire serving as a fitting forerunner. Some 100 youngsters took part there, with Paul Marshall of Sale Golf Club taking the honours on 42 points. Many of the parents who accompanied their children hailed it as the best junior event of the summer, and full details of this year's new event will be announced in due course
Sarah Tennyson, the Golf Foundation's, Marketing Manager is also excited about where the partnership might lead. "We have been impressed to learn about the initiatives that American Golf is launching this year and are delighted that they have chosen to support us," she enthused. "We are sure that working in partnership, we will identify many new mutually beneficial opportunities in the year to come."
The Golf Foundation is a charity committed to giving children and young people the opportunity to experience golf and the benefits it has to offer, firmly believing that our great game can give youngsters 'Skills for Life' that extend way beyond the fairways. The Foundation believes that, with its strong emphasis on standards of behaviour, the game of golf is an ideal medium through which youngsters can learn about honesty, respect, co-operation, perseverance, concentration and self-motivation, which will serve them well not only on the course as they grow up, but also in the wider world.
American Golf is working at the centre of the game to develop new initiatives and build relationships to enable more people than ever to have access to golf. As well as supporting the Golf Foundation and launching its own Junior Championship later this year, American Golf will also continue to work with golf Services' charity, On Course Foundation.

You know how when stories switch from one situation or stage to another, the graphics you created for them no longer apply?
Like for instance whenever something big happens in MotU I just feel inspired to make a Banner to mark the occasion?
Well, Blind Intentions by SammieLynnsMom is going through something like that, and to mark the the before&after SammieLynnsMom asked me if I could make her another Banner, and a blinkie she could use as her Twilighted avi… I said yes, of course, since SammieLynnsMom is one of those people I really enjoy working with…
So, before we had this:
And now we have this:
and the Twilighted Avi/Blinkie
So just by looking at the new Banner you can see where this new stage is going to be different from the other.
The previous Banner was all reds, yellows, and hard lines. This new one is greenery, rain, but also family and hope…
So if you aren't reading Blind Intentions by SammieLynnsMom what are you waiting for? I don't think I've ever known a more steadier updater than her… She's on a writing high that woman 🙂

It would appear that the Queen has learned some helplessness throughout the course of this scene – maybe this play. She's not a wilting wallflower. She's not a shrinking violet. She's got a lot of fierce regality earlier in the play but now, suddenly, she's all, "What shall I do?"
And it makes me think of my youth – when I was constantly hoping to give over my authority to other people. I'd learned I had not much to speak of – so in many matters, I would ask to be told what to do. For me, it was usually matters of not much consequence, like where to have lunch.
It seems that now a lot young people, male and female have learned helplessness as well. Even Ivy League kids (maybe especially?) don't have their own compass, they just want instructions – not just for where to have lunch but on what to study and how and where. They've learned to just follow – and never seem to access their own inner compasses. It's a little bit terrifying.

Breakout Looming for USDTRY
Happy Friday Traders!
I wanted to bring to your attention a potential trading opportunity for the USDTRY pair.
I've been watching this one for a while and price has continued to respect both the upper and lower boundaries of this trading range for the past couple of months. Consider the 4 hour chart below.
A trader has a couple of potential opportunities here, either trade the range or trade a breakout in either direction. Typically, the longer price ranges the more explosive the breakout, so this is definitely worthy of a watch to see what happens next. Often, when price breaks out of an area of support or resistance, it will retrace to the breakout area, potentially offering another trade setup, or an opportunity to add to a position depending on your trading style/strategy.
If price was to break out, a trader could potentially look to take full or partial profits, or move stops to break even around/near the S/R levels shown in the Daily chart below. Notice the gap on the lower support line which if price breaks down should act as a magnet for price. Alternatively, should price break upwards, we should see price approach old highs.
As always, consider risk before placing any trades and have a great weekend, traders.

4.0 miles/loop
Meeting location: BRECKSVILLE NATURE CENTER. If anyone has any questions about the location please let me know. 9:45am SHARP! Starting at 10am!
Hey Ladies! I am so excited to lead this hike!! Nearing 4 miles, this loop will lead us through some of the most beautiful, rolling terrain in the park. I saw that there is actually a WATERFALL past the Deer Lick Cave called Deer Lick Cave Falls. Located just upstream from Deer Lick Cave, this small waterfall is a nice added bonus to the already impressive scenery of Deer Lick Cave. Right above the waterfall, the creek has cut away at the rock, creating a surprisingly beautiful mini river rapid. If you guys are up for it, we could try and find the waterfall. I will update you with more information leading up to the hike via this Facebook Event, so keep an eye out for posts! Leave the men and children at home but fur babies are allowed :)

"To call him a mime artist is like calling Mozart a pianist"
Kate Bush has shared her tribute to the mime artist, choreographer and actor Lindsey Kemp, who died on Saturday aged 80 (August 25).
Kemp was famed for mentoring Bush after she saw his career-defining show Flowers in 1974. He also worked with David Bowie, who attended his classes at the age of 19.
Writing on her website, Bush said: "The world has lost a truly original and great artist of the stage. To call him a mime artist is like calling Mozart a pianist. He was very brave, very funny and above all, astonishingly inspirational. There was no-one quite like Lindsay.
"I was incredibly lucky to study with him, work with him and spend time with him. I loved him very much and will miss him dearly. Thank you, dear Lindsay."
Kate Bush dedicated her 1978 song 'Moving' to Kemp. He also starred in her 1993 film The Line, The Cross and the Curve after she asked him to take part.
He also appeared in the films The Wicker Man and Velvet Goldmine.
Many figures from the world of music and entertainment also paid tribute to Kemp when news broke of his death.

Mark 2:18 – 3:19, Jeremiah 20-22
Mark 2:27 – The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.
Lord Jesus, the weekend is coming. Worship is coming and that's a good thing because I'm tired. I tired from the rat race. I'm tired from chasing kids around. I'm tried from the tasks of my callings. I'm tired; my body is exhausted. I'm tired in my spirit too. My spirit needs to be refreshed. Lord Jesus, that's why you give us Sabbath rest. You give it to me every day. Every day when I wake up and when I lay down, Lord Jesus, I have rest because you remind me that all things are under your power and control; you are, in fact, working all things together for my good. I have rest because you do good things and you promise to do good things for me and in my life. As Sunday comes, I can't wait to hear your Word and to rest in more of your promises. I can't wait to eat the food of your Word. I can't wait to sing the songs of saints past and present. I can't to gather with my fellow believers. I can't wait, most of all, dear Lord, to hear you speak about your love, forgiveness and grace to me. These are your gifts to me to give me rest for my body, and, especially for my soul. Amen.

lady love blog series
in the work i have been doing over the last couple of years, i see women marginalizing themselves in a myriad of ways. i see women feeling intimidated and unworthy and never, ever enough. and i see that so many of us have lost touch with the very important fact that we are each unique and powerful; that those things that come so innately, so naturally to each of us are truly our gifts, blessings, and offerings.
and so my great, big, from the bottom of my heart, hope with this project is that it will create an open and honest conversation about who we are as women; not just a glossy look at the five minutes of our day that went according to plan, not just us presenting who we think the world expects to see, but a real and authentic glimpse into how hard we all work and how we don't always get it right but how unique and beautiful and perfectly imperfect we all are regardless.
most of you know that my life has been profoundly shaped by my "failures" and i want to continue to push that envelope; for all of you to be able to share and witness the honesty and authenticity of other women and know that you are not alone and that we all stumble.
and, most importantly, to all of my lady loves, your depths and your beauty shake me to my very bones. i bow in reverence to the beauty that you are and to the audacious heart that you embody.
hello sweethearts!
we had some technical internet glitches {code: the wifi up and quit}, but all is back to normal and i am delighted to be sharing another phenomenal human being with you today.
when i opened heather's reply to my call for honest, authentic women, i was moved.
she is so real. and beautifully vulnerable. and i could feel her energy, the charge and the comfort of it, as i read...her anguish, her joy, her easy-going kindness.
you'll see, but in the simplicity and honesty of her answers i felt closeness...like she was right there with me.
i have not yet had the pleasure of meeting heather in person, but i would put my money on the fact that she is all heart. and i really dig that.
ok. i could go on and on, but i want you to see for yourself.
tell me a bit about who you are?
good question. that's exactly what i'm trying to figure out. i guess that's the answer... i'm a young woman (29) trying to listen to my heart/spirit/soul/ intuition (whatever you may call it) with the goal of learning who i am, and what i want.
what do you do?
that's easier.
i'm a registered nurse. what i do, primarily, is provide parents with knowledge and support; enabling them to make informed decisions as they care for their families.
i'm a mother. i talk to my child, play with my child, care for and nurture him. i try my best to teach him my values, and to treat him like a person. i struggle with finding the balance in encouraging him to live wild and free, while being respectful and disciplined.
i'm a wife. what do i do? i love him. i help him be the person that he wants to be by supporting and encouraging him, and talking him through things. when i say 'i support and encourage' , it doesn't mean unending praise and confidence boosting. i'm real with him. i think that's important.
no... imperative.
when you look around at your life, is this what you expected? are you surprised by it? if so, by what and why?
it's not exactly what i expected. actually straight up NO. it's not what i expected. i am in the roles that i expected to be in, but i don't feel the way i expected to feel. i used to be under the illusion that once i acquired A, B, and C that life would be magical, oh so happy and perfect, happily ever after, the end.
well...i have acquired A, B, and C and while it is wonderful, (please don't get me wrong, i love it all, and am so grateful for all i have), it's still freaking hard!
life with it's many joys also has many challenges, some devastating. i've learned that this will never end. life has misery in it, it's part of the story. but the silver lining in it all (as i see it) is that with misery or challenge, comes the chance to grow. this may not make the pain worth while, but at least there is still something good.
so, i was surprised to learn it will never be smooth sailing, pleased to learn i can make some good come from it, and relieved that i learned this in my 20's rather than in my 80's.
What would most people be surprised to find out about you?
when you think i am SO worried, i'm only a little worried. when i'm SO worried, you won't know it.
i'm a worrier, a fretter... it's true. but i've noticed that i come across as way more worried than i am. i guess because i vocalize it and am animated. guess i could tone that down a little. here's the thing...when something's really wrong, i keep it quiet. pretty backwards right? i'll work on that.
What has been the peak experience in your life thus far? why? how did it change you? !
someone hurt me really badly once. my whole world seemed to crash down in an instant. i felt powerless as everything changed against my will. the pain overwhelmed me. it tore everything down. it changed me.
recovering from this experience has challenged me in many ways, but most importantly it has challenged me to see the world differently and to see myself differently.
i'm more forgiving, i'm more compassionate, and i'm more open minded now. even though i hate the experience that i had, and i wish it hadn't happened, i'm better because of it. i've grown. i don't think the experience changed me. i think that i changed myself after my experience. i own that, i'm proud of that.
What are you passionate about?
mommas and babies. i've always known this. as a kid my best friend and i performed c-sections on each other in the sandbox with our play dough knife and for five years i was a labor and delivery nurse.
secret? my eyes filled with tears at every delivery. it doesn't get old.
now i teach prenatal classes and do home visits for moms and their new babies. i adore this too. it's a privilege and a pleasure to be a part of a family's oh so special experience.
what are the qualities that truly matter to you? which ones do you fully embody? which ones are missing or needing to be more fully expressed?
compassion, generosity, transparency, loyalty, courage, dependability, tolerance.
compassion is my strength.
courage: this is what i am working on. fear is natural, it's there to protect us. but i've learned that it cannot always protect us. if there isn't real, known danger...then fear just stops us from being alive, and prevents our growth. i want to accept fear when i am in danger, and learn to overcome it when i am not in danger.
i want to live wild and free, to me this means living fully, enjoying what life has to offer without being debilitated by irrational fears and "what if's".
if you could sit down with a woman you greatly admire, what one question would you ask?
if i sat down with kael klassen i would ask, "want a coffee? i'd love to hear your story."
{i would reply with "heck yes i do and how long do you have?". also, this coffee date WILL happen.}
do you have a dream, a wish or a "to-do" that you are currently resisting? if yes, and you feel ready to share, what is it? why do you think the resistance is there?
turning my hobby, taking pictures, into my career.
i'm resisting for a few reasons:
- pure and simple financial reasons
- i like my current job
- and i'm concerned that i would miss my hobby
you are at your best when you are?
no really, i have blood sugar issues.
i'm at my best when i'm taking good care of myself and when i'm taking time to make real connections with people.
when you are in that space of being your best, the exact thing you are doing, most often, is?
connecting, alert, aware, and mindful of what living is, who i want to be, and what i need to do.
And, last but not least, you know i love a beautiful string of words so, please, share a quote that moves and shakes you.
be as a bird perched on a frail branch that she feels bending beneath her, still she sings away, all the same, knowing she has wings.
~ victor hugo
in closing here is my selfie. innately me, as requested.
i was bound and determined to use my camera and take a really nice, thoughtfully set up, portrait of myself. truth be told i was actually looking forward to this and decided it would be "me time". i decided i would wait for a day this week when my hair was done. the end of the week arrived...hair still in a messy bun.
ok, that's fine. it's supposed to be innately me. a messy bun drooping off my crown is obviously that.
camera out and ready. this is still going to be great, i assured myself.
snap snap. ok, that is so not what i pictured.
snap snap. still no.
cue toddler crying and pulling at my leg, "i want up pease mommy".
(this goes on and on)
ok, that's fine, i'll just take the picture while i hold him. i'm a mom. innately me right?
(picks toddler up)
what!?! my battery is dead.
screw it. where's my iphone?
messy bun wearing, whiny toddler holding, cheesy iphone selfie.
that is innately me.
p.s. he has ketchup on his nose.

It's time for Library Loot, where book bloggers share what they brought home from the library this past week.
I love going to the library, although these days, because I've been very efficiently using the library's request holds system, I normally just pop in, grab my on hold books off the hold shelf, take a quick look at the "New" section and come right back home.
I kind of miss just wandering around, not having any goal except finding interesting-looking books. My work schedule will be much easier after the next two weeks, so I will probably be doing more treasure hunting at the library after then. But I did manage to get to the library for an afternoon of browsing this past week, as well as having some requested books come in.
My husband likes to say I'm the library's biggest financial supporter; he bases this on the amount of library fines I've paid in all the time that he's known me. I actually don't feel embarrassed about the amounts anymore – not when people are getting charged $1 a day for overdue DVDs!
Here's what I picked up from the library this past week:
Mystery: A Cure for All Diseases, by Reginald Hill. I actually borrowed this late last year, but wasn't able to get around to reading it until it was due back. I couldn't renew it because someone else had it on hold, so I requested it again. I love Dalziel and Pascoe, and have been wanting to read this one ever since finishing up Death Comes for the Fat Man early last year.
Contemporary fiction: The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows. I put in a hold request for this a few months back – it's a book that I probably would never have discovered if it weren't for book blogs (I have a lot of books on my TBR and i-want lists that are a direct result of hanging around other book blogs). I'm looking forward to this one.
I only picked up two books this past week, but I took an afternoon to hit the shelves specifically in search of audiobooks. I dislike abridged versions of audiobooks, and will always opt for the unabridged version (or not get the audiobook at all if there is no unabridged version) but there's an exception to this: BBC Radio Collection (BBC Audio) audiobooks!
These audiobooks are simply wonderful. There's a full cast of characters, all with rich, plummy British accents, and lots of background sounds to get you right into the mood of the story. When you're ready for something light and dramatic, but you don't really want to watch a movie, these are extremely fun listens.
So far I've just been listening to mysteries from the collection, but there are audio presentations of lots of other kinds of novels too: see the selection here and here.
I picked up the following BBC Radio Collection audiobooks this past week:
Cover Her Face, by P.D. James, starring Robin Ellis, Siân Phillips, Beatie Edney and Hugh Grant. Yes, Hugh Grant! I don't know if this is THE Hugh Grant (haven't listened to the CDs yet), but anyway, this Hugh Grant plays the role of Felix, one of the major characters (not Dalgliesh, so he's probably one of the main suspects).
Three Act Tragedy, by Agatha Christie, starring John Moffatt (as Hercule Poirot), George Cole, Michael Cochrane and Clive Merrison. I remember the plotline (but not who-done-it) so I know I've read this one before, but definitely not under this title (for a brief second there, I was quite ecstatic, thinking here was finally an Agatha Christie title I hadn't read before).
Peril at End House, by Agatha Christie, starring John Moffatt (as Hercule Poirot, once again). No other actors are listed on the back, and there's no little booklet inside, so I don't know who plays the rest of the main characters. I have read Peril at End House numerous times, so I know that by midway I will have remembered who-done-it, but the dramatization will keep it interesting, I'm sure.
Lord Edgware Dies, by Agatha Christie, and starring, of course, John Moffatt as Poirot. Other actors include Simon Williams and Nicola Pagett.
Each of these audiobooks runs for about two hours or so, so they don't require a huge investment of time. And have I mentioned how much fun they are?
What did you get from the library this past week? And have you tried the BBC Audio (BBC Radio Collection) audiobooks? What did you think of them?

A/N: This is a bit abstract, but I think I like it. I own nothing, and I make no money from this. Everything is the property of Universal. *Lizz
He'd gone to her house that night for dinner. He was a little early, but nonetheless he was surprised to find that she wasn't in the kitchen cooking. He set the pie on the counter. It was rhubarb, did he ever bring anything else? He called for her, and when he received no answer he began to worry, and set off through the house looking for her.
At the top of the stairs, the door at the end of the hall, the one that led to the attic stood open. He called her name again as he made his way carefully up the stairs. Again she didn't answer, but when he reached the top he saw she was indeed there. She sat, in the center of the pool of light given off by the one bare bulb in the middle of a circle of memories. He stood in the doorway, not wanting to intrude on her thoughts. The room was silent for many minutes. She didn't acknowledge him directly, but began speaking as she put the items around her away.
"Frank's uniform from the war. He never took it out. He said the only thing he wanted to remember was coming home. His mother's pearl necklace. He always wanted a daughter to give it to. I never wore it, it wasn't meant to be given to a wife." She touched the pearls gently, before closing the box and laying it on top of the uniform. Then she continued, "Grady's christening gown, and his stuffed animal. A lamb, how fitting for him, and he carried it everywhere."
Finally, she picked up the picture that had been resting in her lap. "Grady's high school graduation. Frank was so proud. As proud as any father. And now our little boy is getting married. Frank would be so happy."
He watched through teary eyes as she placed the photograph in with the blanket and the other memories. She stood, and turned to look at him for the first time. Her eyes were filled with tears as well. Then she reached up to turn out the light, and with a quiet click, she gently closed the lid of the Hope Chest.

Ways to play a table
At some point I narrowed my search terms to 'picnic table nz', and came across one swathed in the flow of the 2007 Mt Ruapehu lahar, another standing in the shallows of a calm southern lake, followed by one being overtaken by a violent wave. International search terms yielded a picnic table midstream of a steadily flowing Cumbrian beck, and, strikingly, one with a bear seated politely, waiting to be fed.
Apparently, the bear was photographed sitting outside the US Fish and Wildlife Service office in Kalispell, Montana. Locals reported that the bear arrives daily and waits to be fed by park rangers. The image became a Republican meme. Various captions include 'Democrat Bear patiently awaits hand-out', and 'Bearack Obama'. The meme also spawned a home-schooler-produced children's book entitled The Fable of Bearack Obama.[1]
There are fish to catch, berries and nuts to gather, and a den to dig out – but Bearack Obama the Brown Bear soon discovers that the government can do all of those things for him! There is only one problem – the government doesn't do any of those things as well as Bearack can himself, and he soon finds himself becoming bored, sad, lazy, and unhealthy. It isn't until he breaks free from dependency on others and relearns the joys of being self-sufficient that he once again is the healthy, happy, and free bear that he was always intended to be. Come join Bearack in this charming and fun story …[2]
An informal survey of US art school students concluded that the meme's metaphor is an idiotic equation, but it speaks to a particular desperation for freedom and privacy. The wild bear at the picnic table mingles ideas of designated public space, and the provision of public resources, with the freedom and weird sort of privacy that the wilderness provides. The bear is positioned between these conflicting systems of survival. The picnic table becomes a prop and interface between the bear and the rangers. It's a place where the two might meet and establish their relations; like, what if the bear brought fish to the table? Or simply licked it clean? Or what if the Ranger just shoots a gun in the air?
The 'Bearack Obama' meme is commonly confused with another version of itself, the same photo captioned as a politically neutral 'Patient Bear'. In an online question and answer forum about the origins of the photo, it has also been mistaken for an entirely different photo known as 'Picnic Table Bear', a similar bear eating popcorn from a picnic table in California.
It turned out that the table straddling the Cumbrian stream was in a small town called Ulverston, and was posted on the blog of local resident Geoff Dellow. His blog Discussing Topics to do with Ulverston provides localised discussion about the provision and creation of public space. The posts often focus on the way Geoff, as an individual and as part of a community group, playfully uses and repurposes shared space in the township. These efforts often involve vigorous yet peaceful conflict with the local council, and other members of the community. After a series of disputes about the unauthorised placement of several picnic tables nearby, one table ended up in the stream. Another disgruntled resident threw it there because they didn't appreciate the congregations of young people the tables attracted.
A weary council staffer responded to the stream incident: I have been made aware that one of your picnic tables is now in mid stream of The Gill. I also note that you draw attention to it on your blog. This is getting beyond a joke. It needs removing immediately before it becomes an issue with the Environment Agency/Rivers Authority.[3]
A responding spoof comment reads: Have you thought of talking "With" the Table rather than "To" The Table. Have you asked the table how she "Feels". Maybe she does not want to be a table maybe she wants to be a concert pianist. Maybe she wants a weighty legal document signed upon her! I suggest you have a good chat with her and if she will not move I will talk with Denis Skinner and suggest a Private Members Bill to Facilitate her removal. Dr Benjamin Spock.[4]
In his book Building the Unfinished (1977),[5] urban theorist Lars Lerup describes a nomadic school child and a nomadic school desk that inhabit the same building, moving from room to room. The student carves their name into the surface of the wooden desk, and at a later time comes across the same desk again and knows it as 'my' desk. Lerup uses this scenario to discuss how relations are made through everyday activity or action. The title of the chapter is 'To Appropriate Things', and deals with the ways in which people appropriate objects and spaces within the process of dwelling, a process that creates habitat without necessarily constructing it. The process of dwelling can be reductive, or involve deconstruction.
Away from the Internet and Lerup's book, I found myself standing in Hyde Park, Sydney, before a row of tall straight trees. Each trunk is carved, 360 degrees around, and looks much like the surface of a cliff-side trail to the beach, or some dusty suburban fence. In artworks, gestural marks like these often read as a direct index of human gesture, and sometimes provide a misleading sense of expression. As with these everyday carvings, there is often a slippage between what is an intentionally expressive gesture or form, and an incidental one. The limitations of the drawing tool might produce a vicious looking love heart. In art-making this is further complicated by how easy it is to mimic either the expressive or the incidental. This results in a sort of appropriation of gesture and form. It meets a need for the object or surface to feel like it holds the index of a particular moment or attitude of human presence.
The incident with the table is an invitation for dwelling, and an experiment in the translation of a hand-drawn map of incident and gesture to a machine-cut tabletop surface. The surfaces are made to expect a future process of dwelling that will overwrite the initial score. In the public courtyard of the Waikato Museum the tables face their own challenge, their accessibility is under watch. In order to meet Council imposed Health and Safety regulations the tables are taken inside at the close of the gallery each night. For ease of this nightly maneuver they've also been given wheels, which subtly but surely change them as objects. They're usually ordinary and slightly awkward objects that manage to feel inviting almost anywhere. With wheels they take on another kind of awkward mobility. Almost as if they're unable to comfortably adjust to being under care of a public art gallery, and perhaps contemplating a run from the complications of this kind of public space. Like the table straddling the stream, these tables are in the midst of a negotiation about the ways in which a public space or object can be accessed and used.

A Trans-Zionist Manifesto
Dancing in the streets,
bra-less and bleeding through torn pants somewhere
between the Freedom Tower and the Empire State Building
where the lights of
Times Square consumerism are still visible
through ripe alleyways and
over rumbling subway gates, I am reminded
that life
is a living state of Imperialism and false sense of freedom in hindsight
sometimes only felt while dancing in the streets,
bra-less and bleeding through torn pants.
I am sitting here in Highline Park, 14th Street at 10th Avenue. It seems appropriate that I am stopping in this place before making my way back to Israel; it is hard to recognize the history of the Jews without acknowledging the role of this place in the Jewish Diaspora. Aside from my own personal struggles with not feeling deserving of this experience, it has dawned on me that this is exactly what the Birthright experience is about- what Zionism is about. I am entitled to and deserving of the country of Israel- just for being, and being myself. The Birthright experience isn't about going to Israel for the first time, or even for the second time. It is about going back to Israel again and again and again. Not just because it is a place of religious and historical significance, but because it is the place of our future. We are charged with ensuring that it is a place of our future.
We can ensure this by visiting Israel.
By going back to Israel- and going back and going back and going back.
By talking about it with your children
By buying Israeli art and books and tzchatchkes and memorabilia
By discussing your feelings about the state of affairs
By admitting when you may be biased or uninformed
By investing in Israel bonds and
By cashing in those bonds your father bought 23 years ago
By meeting Israelis
By learning about the Israeli experience firsthand
By wearing the IDF dogtag your friend gave you and
By framing their badges, metals, and pins
By praying for those soldiers not just every day they serve their country but also every day they and their families withstand conditions of warfare, terrorism, and misrepresentation to live in their country of Birthright
-their country of Birthright too, equally all of ours as Jews.
As Jews, as believers and fighters and realists and optimists and makers of the future of this world of tumultuous nations, peoples, and individuals interpreting concepts of boundary.
Some believe that we are now in a stage of "Post-Zionism"; they argue that Zionism as a movement to establish the Jewish state of Israel has been fulfilled. Some of them call for a shift of focus as a redefinition of the Zionist effort. Some call for an Israel, a Zionism, a post-Zionism that includes peoples of other ethno-religions and races also staking their claim to the Holy Land next to the Zionist and the Jew.
I would like to propose a post-Zionist manifesto of my own.
A trans-Zionist manifesto, running parallel to the religious undertones of politics and nationality informing the Israeli identity. Israel is the birthright of any and every Jew, regardless of the means by which they arrive at such identification, whether social, religious, or ethnic. Israel is and should be- should also be- the birthright of any such person of suffering, discrimination, determination and strife united with the Jew in persecutory and persevering experience.
Israel should not just be for the Jew- at least, not any longer. The time has come for Israel to once again set a global prescident as an undeniable example of strength, endurance, and initiative by embracing
the Jew
the immigrant
the gypsy
the virgin
the student
the homosexual
the aliyot
the Arabs
the mulatto
the survivors
the Survivors
and the grandchildren of the Survivors.
Bashanah haba'ah biyrushalayim.
Next year in Jerusalem, and every year in Jerusalem.

The x-ray showed that nothing was broken, so the leg was swollen from a possible abscess since he goes outdoors he could have gotten a wound from fighting another cat or some source of injury that was no longer visible but had caused the swelling. We have him some antibiotics and pain medications here at the hospital in hopes the swelling will go down and make him more comfortable.

Most of the bloggers think that installing plugins is very easy. But, in reality it is not so easy to install it. There are few addon scripts which are really difficult to install without proper guidance and knowledge.
There are two types of WordPress Website. One is a free website hosted by WordPress themselves, many of which can rank very high in the search engines if they are suitably keyword rich. However the disadvantage of WordPress websites hosted by Worpdress is that if you infringe their terms of service they will delete the site. On some occasions you infringe their terms in error or without knowledge you were doing anything wrong. Yet the advantages of WordPress Websites, hosted by WordPress is that you get a feel for the software and its possibilities before you set up your own site.
The downside is you are totally beholden to the WordPress dot COM site, restricted to using the tools and enhancements it provides and heaven forbid, if the whole site goes down, so does your Blog.
At times, simply emailing the owner, with a threat of filing a DMCA complaint with Google can do the job. Most of them would back out without further ado.
You need to keep in mind that a basic Google browse will show you virtually any web site featuring WordPress themes. The problem is a lot of them are over-used or ugly or out of date themes that don't have the most recent advancements. You can see the difference all by yourself. If you have taken the first step on the way to a great business by using WordPress, pick a good WordPress template. Make success a lifestyle.
If setting up your own blog is new to you and you think it might be over your head, don't worry, it is actually very simple. You will want to use a self hosted wordpress platform, which means you will have to pay a small monthly fee. Remember, this is a business and there are going to be some expenses involved. The small expense of running your own blog is one that is well worth it. Also, don't be scared if you think something is "over your head". There are news things you will have to learn if you want to succeed, so of course at first things will be over your head.
The new CS5 version of Dreamweaver is suppose to make it easier, and from what i have heard from the features it will make it somewhat of a more simpler job, but still something only the knowledgeable web developers will be able to achieve.
Three: With just a click of a button it is very simple for anyone to change the way your blog looks. You can easily change the look of your blog very ith so many different templates available. This is very important because you want to have a site that is unique to you, so you can even get a custom wordpress blog made if you want to. In other words, you have total control over how your blog looks.

Ivanka Trump is facing an online backlash for tweeting what one critic called a "tone deaf" photo of herself cuddling her son as outrage grows over a federal government policy to separate the children of undocumented migrants from their parents.
The eldest daughter of President Donald Trump, who serves as an advisor to her father, posted the picture of her with her son on Sunday, with the caption: "My <3! #SundayMorning."
Critics were quick to point to a "zero tolerance" policy announced earlier this month by Attorney General Jeff Sessions that authorizes border security agents to take away the children of people who enter the United States unlawfully.
The government places such children in foster homes, but Steven Wagner, a senior official in the Department of Health and Human Services told a congressional committee last month the government was "unable to determine with certainty the whereabouts of 1,475" minors after attempting to contact their sponsors in the last three months of 2017.
My ♥! #SundayMorning pic.twitter.com/CN5iXutE5Q— Ivanka Trump (@IvankaTrump) May 27, 2018
"Isn't it the just the best to snuggle your little one -- knowing exactly where they are, safe in your arms? It's the best. The BEST. Right, Ivanka? Right?" tweeted comedian Patton Oswalt.
"This is so unbelievably tone deaf, given that public outrage is growing over young kids being forcibly ripped from the arms of their parents at the border — a barbaric policy that Ivanka Trump is complicit in supporting," added Brian Klaas, a political scientist at the London School of Economics.
Lovely picture but utterly tone deaf when mmigrant children are being separated from the families & imprisoned in your country. Your father's policies have lost track of 1500 of them some possibly into the arms of traffickers.#WhereAreTheChildren #1500MissingChildren— TheLaughingHairyFool 🖖🎗🇬🇧🏳🌈☯☮ (@MartynGreysmith) May 28, 2018
Many others tweeted using the #WhereAreTheChildren hashtag.
Donald Trump, for his part, blamed opposition Democrats for the "horrible law" in a tweet on Saturday -- though there is no law mandating the policy and it was not immediately clear what he may have meant.AFP

Michigan's Granholm for Supreme Court?
Matt Yglesias makes an interesting suggestion. I have no opinion, but thought it worth passing along for consideration. Her name does come up in more than one place as a short list contender. Granholm, FWIW, was Biden's sparring partner in the run-up to the VP debate. Rumor has it she cut a mean Palin:
Many parallels have been drawn between the two governors as being attractive ex-beauty queen sports moms, although Granholm's educational qualifications and political experience dwarf Palin's.Meanwhile, I did hear a request among
While we're on the subject, this Granholm thing is not new. Speculation was rife as early as October, 2008.

Complex modeling, Convergence and Uncertainty Quantification, 4-5 June 2012, Uppsala
Working days: June 4-5, 2012
Arrival: June 3, 2012
Departure: June 6, 2012
Invited speakers:
Susie Bayarri, University of Valencia, Spain
Pietro Congedo, INRIA Bordeaux Sud - Ouest, France
Fritjof Fagerlund, Uppsala University, Sweden
Gainluca Iaccarino, Stanford University, USA
Thomas Schön, Linköping University, Sweden
Anders Szepessy, KTH, Sweden
Aims and Goals of the Workshop
Mathematical models and numerical simulations are ubiquitous both in science and society. They are used for better understanding of processes and phenomena as well as for making important political or economical decisions. In each field contributing to a simulation there are different types of errors and methods to estimate and control these. There are measurement errors that affect input data, there are modeling errors and model validation methods, there are numerical errors and error analysis. Uncertainty quantification is about taking a holistic approach to the problem and dealing with all the uncertainties so that the final result can be delivered with a probability estimate.
In this workshop, we are recognizing the truly interdisciplinary nature of uncertainty quantification and are bringing together speakers who can provide different angles to the problem. We hope to attract an audience with equally wide ranging backgrounds and intend to have cross disciplinary discussions.
The image we have chosen for the conference web pages is from the Millennium Simulation, announced 2005.06.02 by the Virgo consortium, which used the largest supercomputer in Europe (at that time), at the German Astrophysical Virtual Observatory, for over a month to model the history of the Universe in a cube over 2 billion light years on a side, holding 20 million galaxies.

As Promised
I had an early morning appointment for my third fill and I arrived ready to do battle. As it was quickly approaching my third month anniversary and I still did not feel any restriction I was prepared this time to go head to head with my lovely, yet conservative, surgeon. I was going to let him know that the time for action was today and we'd better get a move on these fill amounts or at this pace I was going to have grandchildren driving me to my fills. So in I marched with all the strength and determination of a Spartan army. I raised my shield, wielded my spear and commanded my surgeon's attention. I talked, he listened and then...he suggested a fill of 1 cc. WHAT!!! Are you smoking crack? No, I didn't say that but my expression did. I smiled. Then I politely informed him that we needed to do at least 1.5 cc as I needed to get on with this process and start utilizing this tool to my advantage. Guess what, he relented. I did a happy dance and away we went. He did reiterate the importance of going slowly with the fills but he understood my concern. 1.5 cc went in and then I sat up to drink my trial cup of cold water. I was so pleased with myself. I was being assertive about my care. Then...as I was drinking down the water thinking I will be closer to restriction, there was a sudden tightness all along the inner wall of my esophagus followed by a rumbling of volcanic proportion and then...water spewing all over the place...my own little internal TSUNAMI had let loose. My surgeon smiled and then started to laugh. "Too tight" he said. "Ugh" I said..."now I have to concede defeat!!!" I laughed. "I guess that's why you're the surgeon and I'm the patient" I said. "Okay. I'll let you have this one but no more baby fills" I told him. He was still laughing (good naturedly) as I wallowed in my defeat. He took out 0.5 cc and yes, it left me with good restriction. Lesson learned.
He did mention something very interesting as well. He said that some people have a smaller range in their ideal restriction (fill) zone than others. So even though I am not as filled as others, it doesn't mean I won't have the same restriction.
So far so good. I am very happy to feel restriction finally. This is going to make all the difference. I can't wait to weigh in on Monday and see how much the scale has moved. The spring in my step is back and my bruised ego is healing well.

And there you have it lol. I always advocate (through having slow steady fills myself) that more is not necessarily better. I read some real horror stories about girls that had aggressive fills and then had to be unfilled. Though it's annoying to have to go in more often for the top-ups - just a squidge each time is way better than getting a big whack.I will never change my mind on this xx
I'm glad it all went ok in the end though. Good luck getting some of that wanted restriction.

LOL.. as I read your post I was right there with you cheering on your drive... opps I guess that happens.. but the good news is that now you know where your tight zone is.. that should help you.. from what I have read, as you continue to loose.. you may need a tweak or two to maintain the restriction.. Best wishes for a good WL drop.

Oh my, Elliana. How funny. Glad you had a good sense of humor about it, and that your surgeon did too. Enjoy that restriction!

LOL, great post and a good reminder. HOORAY for restriction!

I'm so glad you found restriction. It's amazing how much we can all differ in how much fluid it takes. Count yourself lucky that it only took three fills to get some - it took me awhile...
No complaining since I got there.
Have a great weekend!

LOL...it seems the surgeon does know best. I only have 2.25 mls in my band but think I am pretty tight and might be one of the lucky ones who find restriction early on. Good luck with this one

Where can you find these salvaged building supplies?
~ Ask friends and neighbors for castoffs they might have lying around in their attics or garage. You might be surprised at what folks stow away!
~ Check out Habitat For Humanity's ReStore
~ Keep an eye on the curb! But remember, never take any old castoffs from construction sites without asking first.
~ Use caution with doors or windows that have old peeling paint. Most old paint contains lead. Avoid using these doors in areas where there are children or food. Pick up a lead test at your local hardware store to test for lead paint. Never remove lead paint, but paint over it instead.

Swimming, swimming, in our swimming pool!
Many campers have been enjoying the Pearce Williams pool this week, Its been a wet and wild time. Although the rain has made a splash at camp we are still greatly enjoying ourselves.
Many activities have been run today including slime making and wiffle ball. Probably the most exciting was the slip and slide obstacle course. Tonight we also decorated Hume's hall and it turned into a winter wonderland land.Pictures will come soon.
Check back tomorrow for another update on the Pearce Williams blog.
