Barrick Gold Corp. ABX, -0.89% US:ABX and Newmont Mining Corp. NEM, +0.47% were in advanced talks this week over a deal that would have combined the world's two largest gold producers, according to people familiar with the matter.
The talks broke down in the past few days, the people said. It's not the first time that the two companies, with a combined market value of more than $30 billion, have discussed a deal, and it's possible they could do so again.
The deal talks come as the sector adapts to the lower price of gold. The precious metal's futures fell 28% last year, the biggest annual drop since 1981. GCM4, +0.00%
Although the price of gold has rebounded this year, shares of Toronto-based Barrick, which is already the world's largest producer of the yellow metal, have slumped 20.5% over the past 12 months, giving it a current market value of $21 billion.
Shares in Greenwich Village, Colo.-based Newmont have slipped 35.3% over the same period, giving it a current market value of $11.8 billion.

by Marshall Hanson, CAPT USNR (Ret), Director of Legislation
Last week, ROA met with representatives from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to discuss how the correction to early retirement would cost $2.1 billion over ten years. This correction, which is suggest in legislation sponsored by Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.), H.R.208, and by Senators John Kerry (D-Mass.) and Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.), S.831. If passed the eligibility date for those deployed is support of contingency operations would change from the current start date of Jan. 28, 2008 to Sept. 11, 2001, whereby 90 days of service reduces the retirement age by 90 days.
In a rare meeting, CBO permitted a glimpse inside the "black box" as to how the numbers were calculated. While the CBO staff were not permitted to share the actual numbers (ROA did ask), they gave examples of certain age group cadre to demonstrate basis assumptions and actual calculations. Feedback was provided to CBO on how they might improve their calculations. ROA was joined by the Enlisted Association of the National Guard of the United States, the National Guard Association of the United States, and the Association of the United States Navy.

Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most… New York has missing pieces of my memory buried in her blanket of billboards, bright lights and broken glass… The end of the weekend had a very Fear-and-Loathing-in-Las-Vegas feel to it… There are cell phone camera-flashes, and small chunks of larger events replaying in a non-descriptive manner in my mind. I can recall middle pieces that have no end and beginnings that have no middle or ending… They only thing I'm 100 percent positive on; I had a good time… I think? [Video on expanded page]
Friday was a special day, Friday the 13th. Friday the 13th has become a kind of pseudo-holiday in the tattoo world and I am a big fan of participating. The trouble was, would we (Kent, Crash and myself) find time to, how they say…. "git er dun." Oooo… that's a terrible way to put it… but let's move onward.
This was my third straight NYC show, and I have to say that every year I do this show I meet a ton of cool people, this year was no exception. Adam Hays and everyone at Red Rocket Tattoo were really amazing and they helped us out big-time all weekend.
So it seems fitting that they were hosting the Friday after-party at the shop, and Team TAM had to represent and show our appreciation as well. But keep in mind, it's Friday the 13th, W.W.O.P.D. (What Would Oliver Peck Do?) And then this mental image of Oliver comes to mind… "Let's do some tats," toothpick flaring, as he claps his hands together.
I really don't know how it started… all I know is I was hanging in the lobby of the shop and then Crash runs, nay, charges over towards me and tells me to get my video camera ready. I guess he had somehow convinced Dave Waugh to hand-poke 13s on Crash, Kent and myself… Okay… W.W.O.P.D.
The following video is a prime example of what NOT to do after 13 beers… but I guess that depends on who you ask?
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgEy0YTv9Zc&w=560&h=349](Disclaimer: Hey kids, Dave Waugh is a professional tattoo artist. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME! Each tattoo was done with a brand new sterile needle and new ink…etc.)
So, yeah… I hate the sound of my own voice… I'm an idiot. I'm really glad the video camera stayed in my pocket for the rest of the weekend.
Saturday. Saturday… Saturday: *insert white noise static, ears ringing and eyes burning here* Fade to black…
Sunday, "Where the fuck am I?" I would love to explain, trust me, I would… I simply can't remember. Although, I am thoroughly convinced I was drugged… especially after I made to the booth the next day and found out the girl in the booth next to the TAM booth was Roofied and found by security in the women's restroom passed out on the floor, and then my buddy Schumitz from Germany said he lost his mind Saturday night and decided it would be a cool idea to just sprint through Times Square for 20 minutes while his friends tried to stop him!
Thanks to everyone at the NYC convention and all the people we met including Dave Waugh, Dana Dynamite, Bill Salmon, Kent's buddy Jonathon (who let us trash his apartment in Brooklyn while we were there) and everyone at Red Rocket Tattoo, good luck with the move and may the Force be with you! Sorry, if I have forgotten anyone… but if you read the first sentence of this thread perhaps you'll empathize with Mark Twain and I?

50 Youth Help UNICEF Visualize "Urgency" in Prototype Media Innovation
- 5 Posts
"All kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, etc. are sold here along with meat from butcher shops. The sanitation conditions are horrid and the animals are kept in cruel conditions. Moreover keeping raw meat next to domesticated animals presents a huge sanitation and health issue." – Aown K., 19 years, World Wildlife Foundation
See more photographs in Voices of Youth Urgency Rank Prototype Tester Gallery:http://flic.kr/s/aHsjKaNwM5
How can we measure the urgency of environmental problems in our community?
Over the past few months we've asked young people between the age of 18 and 25 to help us test out a new feature to UNICEF's mapping platform – which visualizes the severity of citizen reports. Fifty youth innovators from over 40 different countries volunteered their time to test out the Urgency Rank Prototype. Each person was tasked with uploading at least one report of an environmental hazard in their communities, complete with photos, descriptions and tags, in categories such as water, sanitation, garbage and natural resources.
How did we choose the ranking of each report? A final system is still developing, but with a grant from the John S. and James L. Knight foundation we were able to prototype an automatic filter and rank system based on the experience of our mapping in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and Port-au-Prince Haiti. The urgency score of each report is based on the tags attached by the mapper. The prototype was developed to help resolve the issue of prioritizing the amounts of data being received in countries such as Brazil – where the youth digital mapping initiative has been expanding each year, resulting in high volumes of reports.
For the testing of the prototype, tags were assigned values by the UNICEF team, but the idea is that in an actual mapping implementation tags will be assigned point values by a local disaster risk reduction experts before the mapping begins. Then, when a report is then submitted to the system, the Urgency Rank adds up the value of all tags attached, and the resulting final score determines its severity level (read more on how it works). The prototype was built in collaboration with InSTEDD iLab Latin America and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Mobile Experience Lab.
When we completed the prototype development in July, a call for Voices of Youth 'testers' went out on social media, and out of over 300 applications 50 youth were selected to help UNICEF test out the Urgency Rank. The top applying countries were Nigeria, Kenya and Indonesia and the average age of participants was 21 years old.
All the testers were motivated by their passion and ability to use social media and advocate for an improved community environment. These young people not only proved that the Urgency Rank's system is simple to understand and use, but they demonstrated its future in strengthening civic engagement and community resilience.
Thanks to our young innovators, the Urgency Rank has secured its place in the new UNICEF-GIS 3.0 being deployed next month in our Voices of Youth Maps programs in Brazil and Argentina.
See the Flickr image gallery for of our favorite urgency rank photos from the last two months (http://flic.kr/s/aHsjKaNwM5) and then check out the prototype map (urgencyrank.unicef-gis.org).

It was a sold-out show of 515 guests for the first annual Rhode Island Music Hall of Fame Ceremony Sunday night, in which eight acts were inducted at the MET, located at 1005 Main Street in Pawtucket's Hope Artiste Village.
It was a night to reflect not only on music, but also the lives of musicians who recently passed.
In fact, Thom Enright, who played guitar for John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band, Roomful of Blues, as well as Tombstone with Ken Lyon, three of the bands inducted, died last week after a four-year battle with brain cancer. Friends and family were there to receive recognition on his behalf and shared their sentiments in brief interviews.
"I'm very proud," said his wife, Olga Jansen Enright, who lives in Warwick. "He loved it and it's nice to know he is remembered."
Mary Cotoia, wife of Bobby Cotoia, former keyboardist for Beaver Brown, was also in attendance. She, too, said the evening was "pretty special."
"He would be all over this," Cotoia said of her husband. "He was a true music man and always played with passion and soul."
John Cafferty, who founded the band more than 40 years ago, said he is pleased the organization honored the music and the lives of members who passed away. He said local musicians, especially his band, are like family.
"We were such a tight-knit community," he said in an interview following his induction. "We were only 21 years old when we signed the band so there's a lot of history here."
Gerry Granahan, who earned three Gold Record awards for hits he wrote and is known as one of the youngest recording executives in history, was inducted, as well.
Originally from Pittson, Pa., Granahan, the father of WPRO radio personality Tara Granahan, has lived in Rhode Island for more than 50 years with his wife and Warwick native, Mary Lou Kernan. He said he was excited when he was notified of the honor.
"When something like this comes along, it's nice," he said.
Gary Gramolini of the Beaver Brown Band was also pleased to be there.
"We've been doing this for a long time and it's a real honor," he said in an interview during a ceremony that took place before the event. "This is great."
Fans also enjoyed the experience. Liz Patterson said she was pleased to see Roomful of Blues inducted because they helped her through the deaths of her mother and grandmother.
"Listening to their music was the only way I could cope with the loss," said Patterson. "I fell in love with their music and all my pain and anger went away. It was just transforming. It means a lot to me because the band has been supportive of me in my life and I'm giving my support back to them. They have a great musical style."
For Debbie Underwood and her twin sister Donna Tetreault, the show was the perfect way to celebrate their 56th birthday. Ironically, they rang in their 18th birthdays at a live performance that featured some of the same bands.
"It's a special night," Underwood said moments before the show began. "We're reminiscing about all kinds of good stuff."
In the mid-1970s, the sisters frequented Gulliver's Tavern in Smithfield, which is now the home of Box Seats Restaurant. Underwood worked at Gulliver's and took care of the deposits after gigs.
"It was very exciting because we had a lot of blues musicians in the club," she said.
Now, they are thrilled to see the bands they grew up listening to be recognized for their achievements. They said there is no other way they'd want to spend their birthday.
"We don't get to go out clubbing as much as we did when we were younger but it's great to be here to support the bands that we loved," Tetreault said.
Timothy Flynn, who has been playing guitar for more than 35 years and is performing at the Whisky Republic with his band The Amazing Rhythm Mule on Thursday night, said the event was a treat.
"I'm excited that people put this together because there is a huge historic significance for music in Rhode Island," he said.
In addition to The Beaver Brown Band, Roomful of Blues, Ken Lyon and Gerry Granahan, acts such as Anders & Poncia, Oliver Shaw, Eileen Farrell, and Dave McKenna were also inducted.
Nearly 20 members of the Board of Directors for the Hall of Fame selected the entries. Further, they write articles, upload discographies, information and photographs of Rhode Island musicians and bands for a website at rhodeislandmusichalloffame.com.
Board member Don Culp said he is happy the show was a success.
"The way it all came together was amazing," Culp said. "The camaraderie has been great."
The fact that it sold out doesn't surprise him. He said it's not shocking because everyone involved put their hearts and souls into the project.
"I think if we did it at a 2,000-seat auditorium, it would have sold out," said Culp.
Rhode Island is the 20th state in the country to have a Hall of Fame, said Culp. Display cases designed by students at the Rhode Island School of Design are available for public view at The MET at no cost. Students are working to improve the showcases at the moment.
The event included performances by the Dave McKenna Tribute and Roomful of Blues, as well as the Beaver Brown Band. Before he took the stage, Cafferty said of performing, "The old saying is that if you find something that you love to do, you never feel like it's work."

LEWISBURG, Pa. — Kelly Knox, an associate professor of theatre and dance at Bucknell University, talks about Bucknell Forum speaker and celebrated choreographer Twyla Tharp, as well as the other top people and trends in dance today. || Ask the Experts archive
Q: The campus is looking forward to Twyla Tharp's talk as part of the Bucknell Forum on Sept. 14. What do you consider to be her most significant contributions to dance and choreography?
A: Twyla Tharp revolutionized dance by crossing the previously defined boundaries between the genres and integrating movement vocabulary from all types of dance in her choreography. Previously the dance world had distinct aesthetic and philosophical divisions between ballet, modern, jazz and especially postmodern dance, which was prevalent when Tharp came onto the scene.
Twyla Tharp blurred the lines between these forms and simply gave us great dance that incorporated all kinds of movement. Her work combines the everyday movements explored in post-modernism with the grounded, emotionally engaging movements of modern, the coolness of jazz, and the graceful pyrotechnics of ballet. By not limiting herself to one style, she makes choreography that is both recognizable and astonishing.
Q: What does that look like, and how has it affected audiences?
For example, in one instant we see the dancer run his hand through his hair, chew gum or throw his jacket over his shoulder and then break into an indescribable, gravity-defying leap that drops to the ground and rebounds into an off-balance pirouette the next. Her choreography has a way of making dance approachable with its casualness and yet mind-blowing with its impossible virtuosity.
In addition, Tharp popularized dance, making it more accessible to a mass audience. Not only did she inject a sense of humor into an art form, whether classical or modern dance, that considered itself quite high-minded, but she also frequently choreographed virtuosic concert dance to popular music. She has created dynamic and technically demanding dances to the music of the Beach Boys, Frank Sinatra, Jelly Roll Morton and Billy Joel. A wider audience became interested in dance because the music was familiar while the dance that accompanied it was surprising.
Tharp's musical intelligence allows us to experience the songs physically. We can literally feel the exhilaration of her dynamic movement accompanying songs that resonate on a personal and cultural level.
Q: You've studied Twyla Tharp and read a great deal about her. Is there something, perhaps, you've always wanted to ask her?
A: I would love to ask her about the influence of dancers in the creative process. Traditionally, the choreographer would create and demonstrate steps in her work, and it was the dancers' job to execute those steps brilliantly. Nowadays, choreographers often work more collaboratively, assigning dancers tasks that allow for creative interpretations and responses to what the choreographer is building. The movement that is generated is influenced more by the individual dancers who then have a significant impact on the creative process. There's a give and take, and I'm so curious what that give and take is for her. Since Twyla Tharp works with some of the best dancers on the planet, I would ask her how their technical and artistic abilities influence her work.
But instead of talking to her, I would just really want to watch her working in a studio because dance comes alive when it's experienced. It's something you see and something you engage in. So, instead of talking, I'd just want to be a fly on the wall. "Can I just watch?" It would be amazing to see her in action.
Q: Who would you consider to be some of the top choreographers today?
A: This is a complex question to answer because it depends on who you ask and what style of dance you're talking about. Obviously, Twyla Tharp is one, especially because she's worked in film, on Broadway and with major ballet and modern companies, so she transverses many realms.
Some of the more recent artists that work specifically with ballet companies include Christopher Wheeldon and Benjamin Millepied. Unfortunately, a lot of our greats have died - Jerome Robbins and George Balanchine are long gone, and I don't see that there is anyone in America creating the bodies of work that will become classics, although time will tell. Some of the best ballet choreographers, in my opinion, work in Europe — Jiri Kylian, Nacho Duato and Mats Ek — but few would categorize their work as ballet.
In modern, and as a modern dancer, those that I consider great today have been around a long time and they're still at the top of their game. People like Mark Morris with his wit and musicality, Bill T. Jones with his poignant social justice pieces, and Doug Varone's captivating movement chaos. Shen Wei, a Chinese artist, has his own modern dance company based in New York City. His movement is luscious and vivid, he creates beautiful images, and he has a company of eclectic dancers that are all incredible. (See more with Knox on this topic in the video at the right.)
Q: What trends do you see emerging in dance today?
A: One of the biggest trends that I've been seeing is the use of multimedia, especially computer graphics and technology to enhance choreography. Many companies are incorporating the use of projection and computer graphics to create stunning visual effects and to stretch the capacity of the human body.
Of course, one of the first to integrate the use of technology in dance was Merce Cunningham, one of the greatest choreographers of the 20th century and an artistic pioneer on so many levels. He was using a computer program called "Lifeforms" to help create the dancers' movements in his choreography long before the use of such technology was commonplace in our society, let alone in dance. Now in dance, it is common to find the use of cutting-edge technology as a partner to the choreography. Think of Shen Wei's memorable piece for the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics in which the movement of the dancers was recorded in calligraphic strokes on a huge LCD screen. Last year the Australian company, Chunky Move, toured to New York with a performance where the dancers triggered lights, sound and computer-generated images. The effect was beyond the body. It was an expanded kinesthetic experience.

By Greg Stobart
Another week, another stunning performance from Gareth Bale to drag Tottenham closer to a top-four finish in this season's Premier League.
The Welshman took his tally for the season to 13 league goals at White Hart Lane with two decisive strikes in his side's 2-1 win over Newcastle on Saturday.
The 23-year-old is the form player in the top flight and Daniel Levy, the Spurs chairman, must be rubbing his hands as Bale's asking price rises with each deadly display.
The simple truth is that the north London club would not be able to replace Bale, however much money is thrown at them by European giants in the summer.
Bale has now scored Spurs' last four goals as Andre Villas-Boas' side target a place in next season's Champions League - and the only concern is just how much the Londoners rely on their star man.
Just as Manchester United are reliant on Robin van Persie for goals, Bale has the rapier quality not seen in any of Spurs' top four rivals: none of Arsenal, Chelsea and Everton boast a player quite as electric as the former Southampton man.
Van Persie has guided United to a nine-point lead at the top of the Premier League with 18 goals this term, but the more accurate comparison might be with the Dutchman's form in inspiring Arsenal to a third place finish last season.
Where would Spurs be without Gareth Bale? Probably in mid-table.
Tottenham are utterly reliant on Bale for his goals, his crossing, his energy and his drive.
There are few more frightening sights in world football than Bale running at defences like a thoroughbred racehourse, waiting for space to open up.
Here, he gave Spurs the lead in the fifth minute with a perfectly struck free-kick over the wall from 25 yards.
But it was when he was moved into a more central area for the final quarter of the time that Bale really made the difference.
It is a role Bale increasingly feels makes the best use of his abilities, giving him the freedom to roam a la Cristiano Ronaldo.
In the 78th minute, he took advantage of the slightest hesitation from the Newcastle centre-backs to burst through the middle at turbo speed and slot his finish through Tim Krul's legs.
And as space opened up and defenders' legs grew weary, Bale went into overdrive in search of a hat-trick, forcing Krul into two fine late saved and shooting over the bar with a simple right-footed chance.
"Great teams are made of great individuals too," said Villas-Boas after the match. Gareth has been decisive and I'm happy to see him enjoying his football - but it's unfair to say we rely on him.
And what about the fears that the £50 million-rated star could be leaving Spurs for Real Madrid in the summer?
"Most teams have to hang on to their best players," Villas-Boas continued. "Barcelona losing Messi would be a disaster, Real Madrid losing Ronaldo would be a disaster.
"There are no release clauses at English clubs and it's very difficult to negotiate with Tottenham - as you know!"
Real Madrid know - but that won't stop the Spanish giants from doing everything they can to sign the most electric player in the Premier League.

Old Fashioned
Added Feb 3, 2012
by threadsquare
Somerville, Mass...
I finally made my husband a Negroni. However, he's not a gin drinker, so I've dubbed this the Old Fashioned instead. He's tall and slender, so I lengthened a size small 1" in the body, 5/8" in the sleeves. Also, I added a little more room to the back armscye at the shoulder, grading to nothing at the armpit.
The main fabric is the same as the pocket lining to my jeans and the contrast fabric on the inside cuff, placket and under collar is upcycled from…. a pair of boxers I bought for Ryan when we first started dating. Hehe! I loved the stripes then and now.
I used a traditional flat fell seam on the shoulders (not the method in the pattern) and a serged faux flat fell seam on the side & sleeves. The pearl snaps were an eBay purchase
More info on fitting, changes for next time and photos on my blog
Material Notes
cotton, interfacing, pearl snaps

Good news
I had my check up this morning, and the good news is that my last xrays didn't show any damage to my hands and feet. So considering the fact I've generally been feeling good since the new year my doctor's happy to keep me on just the hydroxychloroquine. Dodged the methotrexate again!! They're changing my check up interval from 3 to 6 months too. Seems a bit weird that I won't be going back for so long, but I have my doctor's number and she said to give her a ring if anything comes up or if I have a flare and need an injection. And can I just say again how much I like my doctor, she's so nice and thoughtful. Overall, great news. On the downside, I think the apocalypse is a couple of days late but is definitely starting right now in Scotland. We have CRAZY strong winds, branches are blowing off trees and stuff. Plus apparently another volcano's erupted in Iceland and flights might be disrupted. This is VERY bad news as my friend from Canada's flying over a week tomorrow and then 2 weeks tomorrow we're meant to be going to Portugal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm trying not to panic. I'm sure everything will go as planned. Stupid volcano. Doesn't it know I need to go lie in the sun???

Gosh, we Americans love our holidays. We celebrate some holidays that are globally recognized, such as Christmas or New Year's. But most of our holidays mark events, people or observances specific to our country. We honor important individuals, the explorers who discovered us, and movements and events.
Gosh, we Americans love our holidays. We celebrate some holidays that are globally recognized, such as Christmas or New Year's. But most of our holidays mark events, people or observances specific to our country. We honor important individuals, the explorers who discovered us, and movements and events.
But only one group warrants two holidays, and that is our military. In November, we have Veterans Day (originally designated to mark the end of World War I). And on the last Monday in May, which is next Monday, we observe Memorial Day.
Memorial Day is a lot of things. It's a day off from work for a lot of people. Many count it as the unofficial start of summer. It's a day for barbecues, and it creates a three-day weekend, good for a trip to the coast or to visit relatives. Here in Hendersonville, it's the Garden Jubilee on Main Street.
Most people know it's also about the military. But when I asked a few friends about it, while most knew it was military-related, some didn't realize it focused on those who have paid the ultimate price for protecting our freedom. It is the day when we remember and honor those who have died in service to our country.
Notice that so far I've mentioned celebrating holidays and observing them. We celebrate Thanksgiving and Presidents Day (well, I still think of that one as Washington's birthday, as it was when I was a kid, but never mind). Memorial Day, when we honor our fallen heroes, is one that we observe, not celebrate.
Memorial Day (originally called Decoration Day, as gravesites were decorated with flowers) was officially proclaimed for the first time in 1868 by Gen. John Logan and first observed on May 30 of that year. On that day, flowers were placed on the graves of both Union and Confederate soldiers buried at Arlington National Cemetery. (Before the Civil War, Arlington had been the estate of Gen. Robert E. Lee and his wife, Mary Anna (Custis) Lee. Mrs. Lee was the great-granddaughter of Martha Washington via her first marriage. Love sticking in these historical tidbits.)
Congress formalized the holiday nationally in 1971.
As we approach Memorial Day, I've been thinking about that word "remember." That is really what this holiday is all about.
Over the past few years, I have volunteered with a group that works closely with our Gold Star families from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. As I meet with the moms, dads, spouses or siblings of our fallen heroes and present them with the memorial quilts my group makes, the one thing they all say is, "I am so afraid my loved one will be forgotten." When I show up with a quilt honoring their loved one, often years after the death, they take comfort in knowing that, indeed, we have not forgotten.
So, remember.
Remember Marius Ferrero, killed as he passed out candy and toys to kids in Iraq. To honor his love of children, his family created the Mario's Soldiers Foundation (www.mariossoldiers.org). It holds fundraisers to benefit the underprivileged children in his hometown, Miami.
Remember Joshua Jetton, who was 21 when he was killed in Afghanistan in 2011, leaving behind his 19-year-old wife, pregnant with twins.
Remember Ian Zook, a class valedictorian and Christian youth leader at his church, who died in 2004. His mom told me that while grieving for their son, she and her husband realized Ian did not need them any more, but other children did. So they have adopted four older children from Eastern Europe, and will soon welcome a fifth adopted child into their home.
Remember Myla Maravillosa, an only child born late in the life of her parents. Myla was killed on Christmas Eve in 2005 at age 24. To honor her memory, her mother set up a library at the elementary school in her native Filipino village where she is buried.
Remember Air Force Capt. Nathan Nylander, who died at Kabul Airport in Afghanistan while fending off attackers who killed eight of his fellow airmen. He was posthumously awarded the Silver Star for his actions, which saved the lives of several others.
These are the stories of just a few of the almost 7,000 killed in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. And while I have focused on the fallen heroes of our most recent wars, I want to stress that Memorial Day honors the war dead from all our wars. I would guess that many of you may have relatives or ancestors who have died in previous wars. Remember them, too.
So, on Memorial Day weekend ... yes, summer is almost here, the weather is great, and school is almost over. I hope everyone goes out and has a great time this weekend. Support Hendersonville and check out the Garden Jubilee and go watch the parade. Go fishing or hiking, visit relatives or break out the grill.
But I also ask that you take a moment to do one more thing: Remember.

Don't act so grateful the next time a friend makes a quiche for you. The gesture may appear equal parts sincere and sophisticated, but between you and me, you should know that all your host is doing is cleaning out her fridge.
Confused? Here are some clues that will alert you to the fact that your friend is using you to keep house:
1. A "three-cheese" quiche. A dead give-away that there wasn't enough of a certain cheese to grate into the quiche, and your friend had to make do with whatever old handfuls of cheese she could find in the back of her cheese drawer.
2. Caramelized onions. So what if they make everything taste better. Onions are cheap, always around, and your friend had probably made a huge batch of caramelized onions last week and just realized that now she needs the container in which they are currently residing, so into the quiche they go.
3. Sautéed mushrooms with sherry wine. Your friend drank the real wine before you arrived, so sherry wine from the pantry is all she had to liven up the mushrooms.
4. A homemade crust. Please. Your friend was obviously too busy cleaning out her fridge to go the store and buy a crust, so she just had to make one from ingredients at hand.
Three-Cheese Quiche with Mushrooms and Caramelized Onions
(made from ingredients on their way to the garbage pail)
(a very inexact recipe with which you should feel free to substitute and experiment. You could even use fresh ingredients and it might taste better - but it might not.)
One batch of your favorite pie dough recipe (I used one from AllRecipes.com, and it was great, whatever, it's a pie crust, they're all tasty)
2 tablespoons butter
½ pound (ish) of mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons sherry wine (or whatever wine you have)
½ cup caramelized onions (made from 2 large onions)
1.5 cups of whatever cheese you can scrape together, grated into a big pile. (I think I used mozzarella, robusto, and cheddar, but they weren't labeled in their little baggies so I couldn't really tell you. You can't go wrong, as long as you don't use American Cheese or cream cheese.)
1.5 cups of dairy (this could be any combination of milk, half & half, cream, etc.,)
3 eggs (2 would be fine, too, if that's what you have)
½ teaspoon dried thyme
salt & pepper
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. Roll out the pie crust to fit your pie dish. Do that squishee thing with the crust that looks cool if you get it right and looks like crap if you don't (my squishee attempts fall into the crap category).
3. Melt butter in a pan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms. Sautée until they've released their liquid and the liquid has evaporated. Add sherry wine and cook until mushrooms have soaked up the alcohol. Salt to taste.
4. In a large bowl, mix together the dairy, eggs, cheese, and thyme. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
5. Spread the mushrooms and caramelized onions evenly across the bottom of the pie dish. Pour the egg mixture over the onions and mushrooms.
6. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the crust is golden-brown and the filling is puffy. If you have time, allow the quiche cool a bit before slicing and serving.
See? I told you my squishee pie crust skills were horrible.
Fortunately, crappy pie crust fluting tastes the same as pretty pie crust fluting. NOT to say that crappy pie crust fluting is better than pretty pie crust fluting, because that's not true. Pretty pie crust fluting is definitely better than crappy pie crust fluting. In fact, I would love it if someone would direct me towards an online pie crust fluting tutorial. My life would be so much better if my pie crusts were prettier.
And yes, ALL of this is the caption to the above photograph, which is basically the same photograph as the first photograph, just cropped and flipped, but I'm hoping you won't notice. Hey, at least I didn't add googly eyes.

There is no other feeling like the anticipation of something you have worked for coming to fruition. When you are any kind of athlete be it figure skater, soccer player or badminton player, the expectation of that next big game, match, or contest or whatever, is so overwhelmingly dominant in your mind that it's hard to think of anything else.
Pro athletes, or athletes who compete at a very high level of skill, have the ability to completely focus their minds on a certain goal so that all other obstacles or distractions are completely ignored or dealt with so quickly and efficiently they weren't even registered. This kind of focus takes years or training and more importantly discipline and dedication, and once it's achieved becomes a "zone" that is almost trance like to watch and inspiring to be around.
I have had the pleasure to train in the gym with some pro bodybuilders who, when they are lifting, hit that "zone" almost effortlessly. It's amazing to watch and can really teach you something about yourself as you notice the difference in what one of "them" do to work out compared to what you do.
The same can be said for a number of guys I have been in the training ring with as well. Case in point here Alex Shelley. Here's a guy who is only 22 years old and already he's able to hit that "zone" as soon as he steps through the ropes.
In returning to Windsor this past week, I had the opportunity to go to the Can Am training center for a bit and watch Alex go through some chain warm ups. I tried to get in and roll around a bit but was very limited thanks to the sprained knee I received working a giant hump and ham sandwich (here's your nickel, Daniels) on Saturday. So in frustration at my limited mobility I ended up leaving. But not before I was so thoroughly impressed with the ease and fluidity of Mr. Shelley that I decided I would dedicate this week's Intervention to him and another inspiration. I'll get to the other one in a bit.
I find it very odd to see such a level of expertise in a guy so young, but these days people are realizing their true callings pretty early in life it seems. The benefits of the information age? In years past it would have taken a ridiculous amount of time, money and travel to compile the necessary knowledge Alex possesses. But with the advent of tape trading and a lot of free time to study said tapes, Alex has proven that you can achieve wondrous things with a little effort and dedication. I hope you all appreciate what a tremendous talent this man is, because he is so young he will be around for a long time to come and will definitely be one of the best wrestlers in the world one day.
Speaking of the best in the world, I would now like to point out what I have been saying for the last few years and that is pound for pound, arguably the best wrestler in the world is Harry Smith, son of the late, great Davey Boy Smith. And congratulations are in order as Harry has agreed verbally to go to the WWE when he finishes his commitments overseas. Not to OVW or Deep South but straight to the main roster.
I have said for years that Harry would be there eventually and it was kind of a given, especially taking into consideration his family history and lineage. But at 6-foot-5 and 250-260 pounds, he's got the look and ability to be world champ sooner rather than later. Cripes he makes me sick. LOL. As far as I'm concerned, I am hoping he ends up on the Smackdown roster so that he can take some of the swagger out of another third generation star that has got a terrible attitude. That to me is a feud that has money written all over it!
And I am hoping Harry won't be going in alone, I hope T.J. Wilson won't be far behind him.
T.J. is another product of the Dungeon in Calgary, and definitely what you would call a student of the game and consummate professional. T.J. and Harry ran for a while as the Stampede Bulldogs and were one or the top indy tag teams in North America. If you have access to, or can get tapes of, their stuff I highly recommend it. It's kind of disappointing in a way too, only in that I won't be able to work with them again before they go and are signed. Ahh well. All the best to them both and congratulations.
I am excited as all get out to be back in the ring and working shows again, Even if it is with 260 pound meat bags who don't realize how terrible they are! I am really looking forward to the upcoming World X Cup and testing myself against some of the best in the world. Specifically Team Japan. Why you ask? Because I have heard that Jushin "Thunder" Liger will be on Team Japan this time and he has always been one of my favorite workers ever. It will be an honour to be able to work with him and the rest of Team Japan as I love and respect their style of work.
This World X Cup promises to be the best yet with the talent I have heard are coming in. Anyone who complains that this worker or that worker was left out are the type of people that complain when they get lobster dinners instead of filet mignon! I mean really, unfortunately, TNA cannot fit in every "it" worker from an area or internet darling but do we really need to say that the whole X Cup is ruined because so and so couldn't make it? Ahh well, if they don't like it they can always start their own promotion and bring in whomever they like to cheer for. I, for one, will be kicking people's teeth down their throats with glee! Cause I don't care who else is in the ring with me, I have a lot ot prove and a lot of aggression to get out!
As always any feedback or questions or booking enquires can be emailed to email@example.com or you can catch me on myspace at www.myspace.com/canadiandevine or at www.johnnydevine.net. Support your local indys and watch out of me on TNA soon. Time for some Devine Retribution! And if you don't like it! Learn to love it! Cause I'm Canadian! And proud of it!
Take care

CORAL GABLES, Fla. - A University of Miami student found his freshman roommate dead inside their dorm room Thursday morning, Coral Gables police said.
The body was found in the Hecht Residential College.
Alpha Epsilon Pi, a fraternity at UM, posted the following statement on its Facebook page on Thursday:
"The brothers of Alpha Epsilon Pi are deeply saddened by the loss of our new member, Eitan Stern-Robbins.
He was a bright young mind with a glowing future. He will truly be missed.
On behalf of all of the brothers, we want to give our condolences to those whose lives he has touched."
Police say the roommate called 911 after making the discovery.
Police said the 18-year-old's death didn't appear suspicious. A senior administrator at the university said the student died from an epileptic seizure.
Stern-Robbins was from Massachusetts.
University President Donna Shalala issued a statement Thursday, saying: "The University community is saddened to learn of the sudden death of a freshman this morning on campus.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends, and all those whose lives he touched in the University community.
University chaplains and counseling center staff are on-scene and available around the clock."

Just a quick note (against doctor's orders) for those who follow this blog. I did not fall off the face of the earth - I'm still here. I have been suffering from Tennis Elbow and have been in excruciating pain for the last month and a half. I finally caved in and went to the doctor 3 weeks ago when I couldn't take the pain anymore. I've been on meds for two weeks and have been taking physio therapy twice a week for 3 weeks now. It is slowly getting better. Strict instructions from the doctor to try to stay off the computer as much as possible and to rest the arm, which of course is really hard since I'm a secretary and am on the computer all day. Needless to say, I've stayed off it at night (I think I'm having withdrawal symptoms!)
I used to snicker at people when then said they had Tennis Elbow thinking this was just an excuse not to do things (a few people at work use excuses like this not to work), but snicker no more. It really hurts!! It not only affects the elbow, but the swelling and pain affects the whole arm, and even makes the fingers numb. It doesn't help either that it's my right arm and I'm right handed!
I caved on the weekend and did some research on the Scottish Census on Ancestry (of which I found loads of information), but paid for it the next day. I will be posting what I have found, but it may take a few more days rest before that happens, so just be patient with me. I do hope, however, to get my post done for the Brothers & Sisters carnival that is due on Tuesday.
That's it for tonight, folks.

Pope John Paul II was a true believer, a courageous voice of truth and a man whose witness to the faith grew more eloquent as his ability to speak declined, Pope Benedict XVI and others who worked closely with the late pope said at events for his beatification. "John Paul II is blessed because of his faith—a strong, generous and apostolic faith," Pope Benedict said on May 1 just minutes after formally beatifying his predecessor. In the beatification proclamation, Pope Benedict said that after a consultation with many bishops and members of the faithful and a study by the Congregation for Saints' Causes, he had decided that "the venerable servant of God, John Paul II, pope, henceforth will be called blessed" and that his feast will be Oct. 22, the anniversary of the inauguration of his pontificate in 1978. Italian police said that for the beatification Mass more than a million people were gathered in and around the Vatican and in front of large video screens in several parts of Rome.
"I would like to thank God for the gift of having worked for many years with Blessed Pope John Paul II," Pope Benedict said. "His example of prayer continually impressed and edified me; he remained deeply united to God even amid the many demands of his ministry," the pope said. Pope Benedict said that even at the moment of John Paul's death, people "perceived the fragrance of his sanctity and in any number of ways God's people showed their veneration for him. For this reason, with all due respect for the church's canonical norms, I wanted his cause of beatification to move forward with reasonable haste."

text: Wednesday, October 4, 2017 What Your Body Is Trying to Tell You Do You Have Endometriosis? About 3 years ago, I stopped taking birth control for the first time in almost 15 years. It wasn't for any reason other than I was getting married and the current pill had caused weight gain. Then, due to high-stress and yes, laziness, I never resumed this habit. A year went by without a cycle. At the time, all I could think was HALLELUJAH! THIS is what true joy is! Then a good friend of mine pointed out the obvious: "Angela, this is your body telling you something isn't right." What that something was, I may never know. About a month later, I did finally start my cycle again. It was irregular, and sporadic, but it was there. And it gradually grew in ferocity, reminding me that as a young adult, I had been diagnosed with endometriosis. The purpose of this blog is to help others [& by default, myself] realize that heavy cramping, severe pain, and extensive bleeding are not normal and there are ways to negate these symptoms. It's also to give you some educational tools that will allow you to cultivate new habits that can alleviate pain or simply just give you a platform to share your story and know you're not alone. The bottom line is: if you experience any of these symptoms, go see your doctor. These signs can be indicative of something greater at play, and it's important to make sure that above all else, you're healthy and can continue your journey to finding a balanced lifestyle that isn't derailed on a monthly basis. So what IS endometriosis? This disorder happens when tissue grows outside of your uterus and on other areas in your body where it doesn't belong [Mayo Clinic]. It can cause a variety of symptoms such as: Pain in the lower abdomen, lower back, pelvis, rectum, or vagina Pain during intercourse Abnormal menstruation, heavy menstruation, irregular menstruation, painful menstruation, or spotting Nausea, diarrhea or constipation Severe abdominal cramping, fullness or bloating I feel like almost every woman I know can identify with at least 1 of these symptoms, and according to Dr. Eric Surrey of the Colorado Center of Reproductive Medicine: "The disease is one of the most common gynecologic disorders in America, affecting an estimated one in 10 women, yet there is a lack of awareness and prioritization of endometriosis as an important women's health issue." Considering periods have been happening since the dawn of time, this is more than a bit concerning. So what do we do? Let's start with what you're ingesting and see how that could be contributing to your pain level. Nutrition If you're anything like me, that time of the month literally turns you into a raving lunatic for sugar. I have noticed a direct correlation to an increased intake of alcohol/sugar to increased pain in the day before, of and the second day of my cycle. The following suggestions might be beneficial to take notice of, and begin tweaking what you eat and when you eat it. "When attempting to relieve endometriosis symptoms naturally, begin by eliminating foods that lead to inflammation. This includes dairy, processed foods, refined sugars, caffeine and carbohydrates. Eliminate these foods from your diet for at least three weeks, paying close attention to your body changing throughout the process. Alcohol, soy and other high-estrogen foods should also be eliminated from your diet because of their estrogenic effects." [https://draxe.com/endometriosis-symptoms/] There have also been several studies that link endometriosis and diets high in red meat/low in greens and fruit. One such study 'compared 504 healthy women and 504 women with endometriosis, finding that women who ate beef every day were nearly twice as likely to have endometriosis, while those who got seven or more fruit and vegetable servings a week were at least 40 percent less likely.' Those are some serious stats, and hopefully made you sit up and take notice. I mean, if upping my intake of veggies allows me to walk upright when I'm typically curled up in the fetal position, I think I might give it a whirl. "So what's going on? One theory is that dietary fat influences your body's production of prostaglandins, chemicals that stimulate uterine contractions and affect ovarian functioning. It's thought that high levels of prostaglandins could lead to higher production of estrogen, which could influence the growth of endometrial tissue. Other studies find a link between high-fat diets and levels of circulating estrogen; the more fat in your diet, the more estrogen your body produces." [http://www.healthywomen.org/content/article/lifestyle-and-dietary-changes-endometriosis] Exercise This is one I can fully, 100% endorse, having tested it extensively. Every article I've read sites three or more days of moderate- to high-high intensity exercise for a minimum of 4 hours/week. This will also help you keep a low percentage of body fat. Regular exercise and a lower amount of body fat help decrease the amount of estrogen circulating through the body. [https://www.womenshealth.gov/a-z-topics/endometriosis#references] Not only does movement help release the your abdominal muscles, it also provides a welcome distraction from the pain. Having a buddy system also keeps you honest and committed to showing up for your pre-arranged workout, even if your first instinct is to stay buried under the covers. Keep in mind that a significant amount of jumping, running, and moving up & down, can be uncomfortable when you're midsection feels so tender and raw. This is when it's important to listen to your body, and modify as needed. Be honest with yourself and with your coach. We've all been there, so we can all relate! Holistic Care When it's all said & done, sometimes it does benefit you to minimize movement and give your body the rest and love that it so desperately desires. Some of my favorite go-to's: Epsom Salt Baths + essential oils Heating blanket/rice pillow Abdominal massages High waisted pants [think of it like swaddling an infant with a tummy ache] There are many other avenues to explore, and I would love to hear what you've done in the past. Share with our community so we can keep the education train going! It always helps to know you're not alone and we all can get a bit emotional on our period [or leading up to it...or after it...wait a minute, when am I NOT emotional???] Can't wait to hear what have been your go-to's and what your journey has been.

Organizing a Junk Drawer — or is that an Oxymoron?
Today we begin DIY/How To month at Apartment Therapy. I do have a couple projects in mind but no definite plans for when to do them. However, maybe this DIY month is just the kick in the pants I need. I am starting small though and my first project is organizing my junk drawer and sharing my process with all of you.
Junk drawers are just that — drawers filled with junk. Odds and ends that are useful but just don't really have a designated home. And, of course with the mere title of junk drawer, it is the first go-to place to put random things with the thought being, "I will organize later". Well, later is here.
As the above pictures indicate, my junk drawer was a mess. I sought out organizing trays on the internet and may go out and purchase one soon — but for now, my goal was just to clean and organize the best I could without one.
Here is list of what I found in my junk drawer:
- my Bloomingdale's charge card (which I immediately put in my wallet)
- 3 working ballpoint pens
- a 2009 weekly organizer
- a regular ruler, a scale ruler, a triangle, and 3 tape measures
- 3 color markers
- 2 highlighters
- a box cutter
- 2 dried up glue sticks
- 2 travel sewing kits
- 3 spools of thread
- 2 boxes of matches from Hong Kong, reminding me of our vacation there making me smile
- a Leatherman
- packet of EmergenC
- a stapler
- a box of staples
- Scotch tape
- cough drops still in package
- unopened memory card for camera
- lens cleaning cloth that came with our camera — unopened
- travel power converter
- a box of incense cones from a Christmas ornament our German friend gave us
- USB cord for camera
- USB cord for IPod (an extra one)
- an extra set of earphones
- tube of Blistex
- laser toy for cat
- return address labels
- $2.79 in change
- Tide to Go pen (love these!)
- a fold up subway map
- spare set of car keys
- Forever stamps
- a shoelace we use as a cat toy
After sorting through my drawer, I threw out some stuff, put some items away, and kept the rest of the items where they were but just made it a whole lot neater. A drawer organizer sure would help keep this drawer from becoming such a mess. Maybe I should also start calling it something other than a junk drawer? I actually put my Bloomie's card back in the drawer when I was done organizing. It is safer there!

Saturday, 24 July 2010
So, I went on a date last night for the first time since my diagnosis. It was a blind date, which weirdly I would never have done before RA. The last few months since I stopped wallowing in depression I've gone the opposite way by doing EVERYTHING I want, ALL THE TIME. I'm just afraid that the clock is ticking and I won't be able to do things soon, so I've gone a bit mad basically. I spend lots of money because I don't care about 'planning for the future' anymore, I've been on about 3 holidays already this year and now apparently I go on blind dates with strangers. I wonder what's next?! Must be some weird stage of grief I'm going through..but it is better than crying every day which I used to do. Anyway, I digress.
The date actually went really well, we went to a few pubs and got VERY drunk. I was actually drunk before I even got there because I was really nervous, I couldn't finish my dinner and drank half a bottle of wine.
I think we might see each other again, so here come the problems. When do I drop the RA bomb? "Yes, I might be the fun lovin gal you're looking for, but how do you feel about my fun disability?"
I know that if the person is decent, they won't care about things like that. But it's still kind of a weird issue, if you mention it too early it might be a bit too 'serious' but if you leave it too late then it's like you're hiding it? I guess I'll just wait and see, leave it a few dates, see if it's actually going anywhere and then drop it in casually.
My date: "I have two cats."
Me: "How interesting. I have a chronic progressive wasting disease."

No dating advice as I have been married a very long time. Just wanted to let you know that I really enjoy reading your blog and reading it this morning made me smile. :)ReplyDelete
Thanks Cathy, glad to hear that!! I enjoy writing it, even if it is pretty silly sometimes, but my whole life is silly and I'm trying not to let RA change that. Hope you're getting all the support you need from your husband, the pics of your family look beautiful :)ReplyDelete

Yep, you sound like me- both on the not knowing when to disclose and the having too much to drink on the date BEFORE it starts. Ha ha. I wish I knew what to tell you on when- it varies for me from guy to guy. Just wait until YOU"RE ready and then you'll find a way to sneak it into the conversation.ReplyDelete

Realtors are beginning to use Twitter strategies to create exposure for listings, open houses, REO sales, foreclosure news, and industry related developments Yet, one of the biggest mistakes that Realtors continue to make on Twitter is to "spam" the network with hard sell tweets about their products, services, listings, and information exclusively promotional in nature. This type of low signal high noise ratio in messaging leads to audience indifference, low priority, and a less than open level of communication between the Realtor and their intended target audience.
Twitter Hashtag Categories
Hashtags (#tag) allow Twitterers to create categories, groups, or subjects for tweets that their audience or other twitterers can use as well. With this in mind, Realtors could begin to create real time discussions with consumers, peers, and investors for a multitude of topical Real Estate information. Here are examples of subjects already being discussed on Twitter using hashtags:
- #Foreclosure
- #Realtors
- #Realestate
- #Listings
Twitter Hashtag Strategies: Hyper Localize
All of the above examples have current discussions but they all lack one thing: hyper local information. Brokers or groups of Realtors should combine efforts to create hashtags that would provide hyper local information for consumers in their area. Here are examples of hyper local hashtags that are not being utilized in the San Francisco Bay Area:
- #SanRamonListings
- #SanFranciscoListings
- #CitynamesRealtor aka #OaklandRealtors; #SanFranciscoRealtors; #SanRafaelRealtors
- #Countynamesrealestate aka #Marinrealestate; #SantaClararealestate; #ContraCostarealestate
- #Neighborhoods aka #PacificHeights; #NorthBeach; #RussianHill
Hashtag Strategies: Brand and Create Your Group
Create online discussion groups with your hashtags. Choose the most important subjects to your consumer audience that will provide the most value. Brand your business cards, website-blog, business communications, flyers, and promotional materials with your Twitter hashtag group discussions. Don't forget your Twitter address too.
Hashtag Benefits to Realtors
The benefits for Realtors in setting up hashtags for consumer research, localized information, and marketing include:
- Targeted Lead Generation: creating a hyper local hashtag discussion can attract consumers, if promoted properly, interested in a specific location, type of dwelling, or lifestyle
- Research: hashtags on specific real estate functions can produce research content, via links, that helps educate and inform the public and real estate community
- Audience: build an audience for any subject that pertains to your business services or products
- Conversion: there are no statistics available but it would be interesting to measure engagement through hashtags. Specifically, do consumers click through links a Realtor provides in a hashtag discussion more readily than those provided in the general twitter stream? Are consumers more comfortable clicking through to a Realtor website-blog while engaging in a hashtag discussion?

Decorate a bold, colorful bathroom
If your commode is like most peoples', then chances are it's significantly smaller than the other rooms in your home. While this comes with limitations in terms of decor,�it also brings opportunity. Because the bathroom is such a small space, it allows you to go a little crazy with color. Here are some tips for decorating a bold, colorful restroom.�
Pick your pigment
The first step in designing your brightly hued bathroom is to pick your pigment. Done the right way, any color can be used to create a sophisticated, stylish bathroom, but one money-saving way of decorating is to choose a pigment that complements your existing bathroom. For example, if you have dark marble floors, consider choosing a light lime color to brighten it. If your fixtures are primarily white, you could cultivate a Mediterranean feel and pick royal blue as your primary pigment. The most important part of choosing a color is to ensure that you'll like it in a month - pick a few�samples and paint them in stripes on the wall. Check to see what each looks like during different times of the day, as the shade will vary as the light changes.�
Temper the boldness
A bathroom in ceiling-to-floor lime green risks looking as though you simply spray-painted your entire bathroom. Efforts should be made to tame the color, such as using neutral custom window treatments, perhaps ones to match your shower curtains. Your accent can come in any form - for a bathroom painted tomato-red, consider using a distressed navy shade to balance it out, maybe in the form of bath towels. For lime green, use dark brown and beige to temper its boldness.�
Vary visual textures�
Varying your visual textures will help to prevent the color from being jarring, but it will also create interest. In a commode, there are a lot of options for texture. You could opt for an embellished shower curtain, bamboo blinds and tiles with contrasting grout. Using patterned towels and bath mat can also contribute to breaking up some of that daring pigment.
Hanging framed vintage posters or post cards is another quirky way of varying the colors while adding a level of sophistication to the space.�
