[Original Supernatural/Vampire MUSH] Houses of the Blood MUSH
Bobotron last edited by Bobotron
Making no real headway of late.
I added some things to the introduction section to help me with organization and keeping my eyes on what needs to be in each section.
The setting and history file is complete. Would like input if anyone cares to give me some opinions: https://www.hotbmush.com/wiki/02._Setting_and_History
Working on the 'what is a vampire/what is vampire society' file. This one is going faster than I expected, which I'm happy about. ETA: I also came up with something that I like thematically when a vampire goes too far to the end of their emotional spectrums (rage and anger for descendants of Licenia; solace and ennui for descendants of Titus). Once I have all that in the next file I'll link it too.
I wish I had more meaty and faster updates. I'm waning, guys. Trying to putter along, and I just continue to think I've just bitten off more than I can chew.
But, here we are. I'm still pushing, and going to write today while I try to determine if the server I'm on currently is going to be back, or if I'm going to migrate to digitalocean...
Working on the 'what is a vampire/what is vampire society/how is a normal city-state set up under the Republic of the Night' section today. Once I knock this out, which is the next-biggest section to get out of my brain and onto paper, I think the rest will go much more quickly.
I will admit: I've cleaved myself back from some of the concepts I was debating on 'CvC social conflict'. Or rather, rejigged my thoughts on them. Rather than having social conflict done in that manner on a one-on-one scale (though it can still be done with a contest, it's not something akin to social combat again), I'm focusing more on things like Influence. I'm hoping to do it in such a way that is 1) fun for players, and 2) doesn't turn into the nightmare that RfK's stuff was. Here's to hoping!

@bobotron Good luck! I'm always rooting for non WOD vampire games.
(Shameless selfish post) Thanks. If you wanna root me on further, any thoughts you might have on the setting section posted above would be awesome.
Glad that I picked up on digitalocean. Current host for the wiki has flaked out and, somehow, when they did an upgrade , somehow broke PHP dependencies for mediawiki it looks like.
Wiki is in the process of transitioning (yay backups), but writing process is going slow.
Chargen is more or less done, I just have to rejigger a couple of things from the changeover from the WoD LARP version to the custom system for HotB.
Pre-built lists of powers are... well... they are what they are. I haven't completed them.
I'm really thinking about just finishing up the rest of the files for history and everything, finish up the XP system (I just need to figure out how to paginate the thing), and then go, and not worry about the auto-combat, and just have a +check system in place, and let people free form their powers based on the levels.
I'm going. It just... is what it is. Ugh.
@Bobotron so what is the era this game is taking place in?
Tech levels?
Modern era, set in 2018, current year. Tech levels are modern. Vampire society via the Houses has existed due to the holding up of their traditions from the top-down and using their resources to make their society work.
Does humanity know? Is there some kind of masquerade in place?
What makes this different from say: A world of darkness game that just has Invictus as its only covenant?
(Sorry I am trying to find things that make me want to play, though I do want to play) but if I were to tell some one else about it,
Humanity doesn't as a whole know. There is a particular government agency that attempts to police the supernatural from the mortal side, equally working on accords and peace talks and treaties as killing supernaturals who get too out of line. The Law of Revelation is in place, which you can equate to the Masquerade; it has a different point of origin, though, but serves the same function.
I suppose the biggest things I'd say as potential selling points are:
- Lack of baggage. It's a setting that isn't mired down in 30 years of books and material and pre-conceived notions.
- The conceptual history and the play style I'm hoping for is a bit more Buffy/Angel perhaps than the standard WoD MU*.
But I'm kinda drained at this point. I have come to realize that I enjoyed writing the history/backstory, but I've run out of inspiration. So I dunno.
Take a deep breath, take a break, ride a bike, go play some video games.. Refresh yourself.

Local veteran presented with Quilt of Valor
Submitted by Aurora1 on Wed, 11/08/2017 - 3:00am
Avery and Maverick Kellar met Edgar Tucker when they moved into a new neighborhood in Aurora next to Edgar. The day that their family moved into the new house was a hot one, and as they were unpacking boxes, Edgar came over with a bouquet of flowers he picked from his garden with a note that said "Welcome Home." From there, a friendship blossomed.
"The people we bought the house from told us that Ed was really nice," Avery said. "So we went over there to introduce ourselves and he was somebody who seemed really nice."

When it comes to retirement income, you want it reliable and with inflation adjustments. Unfortunately, many retirees only know how to take income from the interest and dividends their portfolio produces. They do not understand how to safely invade the principal. And depending on their risk tolerance, they may be living on a 1% - 4% income stream. Anything higher is not prudent. Even 3%-4% may be unsustainable if you're in a market based portfolio.
On the low end at or even less than 1% are those who cannot handle any risk and have their portfolios invested in bank CDs or short term treasuries. If that's you, please keep reading. You may like the example below.
On the other hand, if you are in a market-based portfolio, when the market declines, so does the value of that portfolio. Even though your portfolio may be filled with high quality stocks, in a panic, most stocks will fall. You don't have to look very far to see that. Just consider what's happened since January of this year, or 2008, or 2001, etc. It's the old saying: "All boats rise or fall depending on the level of the water."
And with increasing volatility in the market over the last 20 years, it's no wonder many are looking for reliable retirement income. This is a graph of the S&P500© from January 1996 through last Friday, February 19, 2016. If you have 20 – 30 years left in retirement, you may want to add more certainty to your income.
Trying to maintain lifetime income with so much volatility is a real struggle. Just ask anyone you know who was retired during the 2008 recession. If they were taking 5% from their portfolio before the recession, they had to adjust to much less if they wanted to be sure to not run out of money. Check out this couple with a half a million dollar portfolio in 2008. Here's what they lived through. At the beginning of 2009 they thought they were doomed. Plus, they needed the $25,000 withdrawal in addition to their other income streams to make life work.
Needless to say, they didn't sleep well from 2008 through 2013. They were too old to live like that! They needed more certainty at age 70. So they learned about Conservative Structured Income Payout Systems. (There are also moderate versions of this, but we'll stick to conservative today)
What is a Conservative Structured Income Payout System (CSIPS)
CSIPS is a strategy combining various types of annuities to provide guaranteed retirement income and tax‐deferred accumulation without subjecting your assets to market risk. The SIPS strategy may be especially attractive to those who wish to implement a conservative retirement income approach for a portion or all of their retirement savings.
The objective of the CSIPS strategy is to provide immediate income for a given period of time, maintain tax‐deferred growth, generate retirement income that cannot be outlived and still provide an emergency fund that can be accessed if needed. A SIPS approach can be an incredibly effective means of helping you reach various financial goals and meet various personal needs such as:
- Grow and preserve assets for retirement on a tax‐efficient basis among various financial vehicles
- Create guaranteed income to help maintain your way of life throughout retirement
- Reduce the likelihood of making financial decisions based on emotion rather than logic
- Protect your hard‐earned principal from market risk
Based upon your specific financial needs and objectives, Everett Wealth Solutions will develop a SIPS plan to meet your needs. The annuities selected for your SIPS plan may generate income immediately or may create income in later years by accumulating for a set period of time. One of the most conservative CSIPS structures, for example, involves allocating premium into four "portions" that will systematically help you achieve your financial goals. Let's take a look at how this might work in today's low interest rate environment with the remaining $442,354 that was left:
If you are interested in seeing how this may work for you, let's talk.

Pendle Forest thirds lost 2-1 at Springfields fourths at Preston in a mid-table Second Division clash.
Forest started brightly and Zoe Kidney hit the side netting after a reverse stick sweep.
But Springfields opened the scoring when they slipped the ball through Rosie Southworth's pads.
Forest were awarded two penalty corners, but could not capitalise on them.
And to add insult to injury, Springfields broke and scored a second before half-time.
After the break, Forest threw everything at Springfields and were awarded a number of penalty corners in the last 10 minutes. They pulled one back when Diane McInnes hit out to player of the match Freya Bythell, who played a peach of a pass for Cath Hutchinson to swipe goalwards, and McInnes slotted in from close range.
Forest peppered Springfields' goal but they couldn't find an equaliser.
The second team's game was postponed.

I love my job as an industrial electrical engineer who enjoys time outdoors being active.

I regularly travel for work a week or so every month or two usually around the US.

I had a very close friend in high school who was Brazilian. I would love to learn how to speak Portuguese fluently, but it is so fast so I will need someone that I can learn from.

I am living the retirement life at a young age. I also would not mind relocating, if I am happy. I am a carefree and respectable person. I am laid back and pretty spontaneous. I love to have a good time, whether that be watching a movie on the couch, glass of wine and cheese, a mix drink at a musical event, or drink a cup of coffee together in the morning. I find that a lot of life's beauties lies in the simplicities that we do everyday in life. I am told that I have a very good sense of humor with people I meet. I am open to all types of music and culture events. I enjoy traveling, watching live musical events, I enjoy dancing, I enjoy reading and writing poetry, cooking, exploring new places, sports, riding motorcycles, taking a nice walk along the beach or park, enjoying a picnic, driving to new areas and etc...
Looking for happily ever after!

I am looking for more than just a pretty face. A woman..not a girl. Are you an average girl or a princess in disguise? I could tell you about me.. sweet, with a big heart, romantic, smart and funny but its not my style to tell someone how many blessings in life I have. I will say this.. I have a great family and I have been blessed to own a small business for 15 years now. My family helps work with me in my business and we are very close in our lives and in our work. I have a passion for life that seems to be rare. I keep busy with my many friends and my hobbies, (boating on the ocean and great lakes around Michigan, exploring waterfalls and shipwrecks) I have many photos and love to share them as I talk with new people from around the country and around the world. Everyone says my kind heart is my strongest point. People say I am charming but very laid back. Easy to love but hard to catch is what I have heard said about me! Im a challenge, elusive, a risk taker who is not afraid to put you in your place with a little verbal challenge. Funny, exciting and never a dull moment when I am around. If you do not like to laugh its not going to work between us so just pass by the rest of my profile! Its OK if you do not "get"or understand me. I am looking for someone very special and unique. I prefer to keep my circle of friends to a very small amount. Important things to know about me. I was happily married for 13 years but my wife died 5 years ago.. We were never able to have children due to the fact SHE was infertile. Do not worry.. I am healthy and everything is in good working shape!! I have 10 fingers and 10 toes. Jaja. I am single now, and I have a dream to have twins after I get married again. I was lucky to have a happy marriage before..she was my first and last woman for 16 years. Unlike most men, I know how to love faithfully, and my heart is ready to find the love of my life now. I am searching the right woman to make new memories with! If you are pregnant or have children that is fine with me! I do not mind.. I have noticed that a woman who has children is more serious to settle down and find love. If you have read this far you must have some interest. Just send me an email. Window shopping works for the mall but not online. Jaja! Here is a favorite quote of mine from a poet. It is from Walt Whitman. "Do I contradict myself? Very well I contradict myself. (I am large, I contain multitudes.)"

By David Tanner, Land Line associate editor
Toll collection on the 47-mile Homestead Extension of Florida?s Turnpike is going cashless this month, meaning users can either pay using SunPass or have a bill mailed to them through the toll-by-plate photo system.
Spokeswoman Sonyha Rodriguez-Miller recommends that any frequent visitor to southern Florida obtain a SunPass transponder. At the time of the changeover to a cashless system, 80 percent of turnpike drivers were SunPass account holders.
?If you happen to get on the Turnpike, and you do not have a SunPass account, we have an alternative method that?s called toll-by-plate. When you go under the gantries, a picture of the license plate, front and back, is taken and an invoice is sent to the registered owner of the vehicle.?
Invoices are mailed out on a 30-day cycle and there is an administrative fee of $2.50 that accompanies each invoice.
The Homestead Extension, serving Broward and Miami-Dade counties, is the only highway in the southern part of Florida that allows tandem trailers, making it a frequently traveled truck route, Rodriguez-Miller said.
Expect some travel disruptions late on Friday, Feb. 18 and into Saturday, Feb. 19. By the end of that weekend, each of the extension?s 37 toll gantries will be converted to the cashless system, Rodriguez-Miller said.
?Pay attention to the signs and drive with caution that weekend. Essentially this is going to be a 47-mile construction zone until it is completed,? she said.

YIELD: 9 cups per batch
Splurge with this jam packed full of flavour from locally grown plums and a nip of your favourite port. Delicious on toast, crackers, sandwiches or stirred into homemade yoghurt. Or how about warming a few spoonfuls of this jam and use as a glaze for chicken or pork, grilled or stir-fried with noodles and vegetables....
1.5kg plums
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup port
3 tablespoons powdered pectin (i.e. 50g JamSetta)
8 cups sugar
1/4 cup port (extra)
1. Wash plums, drain well. Remove stems, blemishes and stones. Roughly chop. Add fruit into your heavy-based large pan with water, 1/4 cup of port and spices, if using.
2. Bring fruit to a boil, then simmer uncovered for 10-15 minutes or until soft. Mash or puree.
3. Whisk in pectin and bring back to a boil before adding the sugar.
4. Dissolve sugar into jam over heat, then bring to a rolling boil (as high a boil as possible) and boil hard for 1 minute. Turn off heat and stir through the remaining 1/4 cup of port.
5. Discard any foam.
6. Cover jars with water and bring to a boil, boiling for 10 minutes. Once the time is up, turn the heat off and leave jars in the hot water until ready to fill.
7. Place lids into a bowl of boiled water. Remove the lids from the water when you are ready to place them onto the jars to seal.
8. Immediately spoon the hot jam into hot jars, leaving 0.5cm headspace (distance from the rim to the jam).
9. Remove bubbles with a non-metal utensil, check headspace is correct, and then wipe rims and seal.
10. Process jars by submerging in water and boiling for 10 minutes (start timer once water returns to a full boil).
11. When time is up, turn heat off and rest jars in water for 5 minutes before placing onto a towel-covered bench overnight to cool.
12. Check jars have sealed before labelling and storing in a cool, dry and dark place for up to 12 months. Jar lids should not flex up or down when pressed.
- You can make a low/no-sugar version of this jam using 3tbsp of no-sugar pectin and sweetening to your taste with honey, a little sugar (up to 1 ½ cups if using no-sugar pectin) or sweeten with a sugar substitute safe for preserving (i.e. Stevia). If using raw sugar, ensure it has dissolved before starting the boil so the jam isn't grainy;
- Remove skins from your jam by running through a fine sieve before adding the sugar;
- Add other flavouring/s i.e. allspice, black pepper, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, lemon, nutmeg, orange or vanilla bean (or several of these).

Out of 108, a total of 52 donors have returned to the NIH for the follow-up protocol visit since 3/2009. All donors who have returned have reported that the kidney donation has been a positive experience. No one thus far has had expressed any sense of regret or concerns regarding care received at the NIH. In some donors, the experience of kidney donation has encouraged them to make healthy life style choices. In many we have thus seen, however, development of weight gain, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia has not been uncommon, as in the general population. We have nearly completed the measurements of cortical and total renal volume changes following nephrectomy in 52 patients. We will then investigate if there is any correlation between the renal cortical or total renal volume change and donor renal outcomes. The following abstract summarizes our analysis thus far. COMPREHENSIVE EVALUATION OF THE LIVING KIDNEY DONORS: A NIH EXPERIENCE Stefanie Glenn1, Xiongce Zhao2, Ann Sloane4, Kim Burks1, Liz Hale3, Michael Ring1, Noelle Dickey3, Monique E. Cho1 The National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD Although the available data suggest kidney donation is safe, controversy remains regarding long-term consequences of nephrectomy, particularly for older donors. Between 1999 and 2006, 108 patients have undergone kidney donation at the NIH. In order to obtain comprehensive clinical evaluation, all donors were invited to participate in a follow-up study. Out of 108, 52 donors returned to the NIH for clinical and laboratory exams and detailed interviews. For those who did not return, we reviewed available medical records. Our donors (n=108) were mostly Caucasian, with 14 African Americans and 51 males. The mean follow-up period was 43 years. Their baseline characteristics included mean(SD) age of 4111 yrs, BMI 275 kg/m2, CrCL 13128 mL/min, and BP 122/7212/10 mmHg. Of the 108, 51 donors had follow-up duration of ≥4 yrs and we limited our analysis to this group. Following a mean follow-up duration of 6.5 yrs, the significant changes in these 51 patients included 7% increase in BMI (P=0.0003);66% increase in proteinuria, from 126 mg to 185 mg/d (p=0.006);and a trend toward increased systolic blood pressure by 3% (P=0.06). Their serum Cr remained stable but persistently elevated following nephrectomy, from a baseline of 0.850.2 to 1.20.3 (P=0.0001). We also identified 13 patients (Case) whose creatinine nadir following nephrectomy persistently remained >50% from the baseline. When comparing the Case pts to the remaining 38 donors (Control), their latest serum Cr after a mean follow-up duration of 7 yrs was 1.410.3 mg/dL, compared to 1.10.2 mg/dL in the Control group (p=0.0006). The only significant difference between the Case and Control groups was higher baseline age in the Case (508 vs. 4110 yrs, P=0.01). While our study is limited by its small size and short duration, it underscores an important question whether older donors can compensate for nephrectomy as well as younger donors and if they may be at higher risk for worse long-term renal outcome.

Norwegian Dawn - Poor Service
Sail Date: December 09, 2012
Ship: Norwegian Dawn
Cabin Type: Balcony
Traveled As: Couple
Reviewed: 6 years ago
Review SummaryI found the Norwegian Dawn experience woefully lacking. The stewards and service staff delivered poor service. They were quick to tell you what they couldn't/wouldn't do as oppose to making an effort to please.They also had the nerve to charge a $12.00 a day per person gratuity...I don't mind gratuities but, my understanding is a gratuity is for excellent service not an entitlement. I especially found the embarkation experience to be bad. We accidently packed our passports and was told by the desk staff to just go to the customs area and see what needed to done. Once we got off the ship, we were greeted by a lady at the escalator who wasn't very helpful and seemed hell bent on telling us that we couldn't go anywhere and had to wait. If they had taken the time to explain we would be able to get into our luggage before going through customs, it would have taken a whole log of angst out of the whole process.

Walking Dead Episode 205
From the trials and tribulations of Daryl Dixon to the big reveal of Glenn's booty call gone awry, this week's episode of Walking Dead did what this show does best: unwrap the inner turmoil of the characters amidst the horrors of their daily lives. Some of them we like a lot more; some of them we wish had been shot in the head.
This episode was heavily focused on Daryl, and the writers handled his arc magnificently. We got to see through Daryl's eyes and started to grasp the reasons for his alienation, diffidence and the insecurity he hides so well. Best of all, we didn't get it through Daryl sitting around moping or complaining to Lori about it. He heads out alone (with a horse) again, refusing to team up with the other searchers. Just a man and his crossbow. We established last week that he's the redneck with a heart of gold, so it's no surprise that he's putting in serious effort trying to find Sophia. His tumble into the creek shows that there are plenty of non-zombie dangers in the world when you're living squirrel-to-mouth. It also sets up that brilliant imaginary encounter with his brother Merle.
At first it seems like maybe Daryl's going to turn bad, his conscience crushed by the weight of Merle's bad attitude and corrupt family values. When he gets to the top of the ridge again, Daryl rejects mind-Merle. Yet we see the inadequacy that makes him act the way he does. He's far more intelligent than his upbringing would suggest — intelligent enough to understand how that upbringing makes other people see him. He feels shackled by his heritage even as he works to act supremely competent in hopes that the others will see him as valuable.
On top of all that, Daryl got the best line of the episode again: "Yeah, people in Hell want Slurpees." Although Dale's, "If I'd known the world was ending, I'd have brought better books," was a close second.
Maggie got in a zinger of her own, looking devastatingly cute and then telling Glenn, "You see 11 condoms, I see 11 minutes of my life I'll never get back." For some reason Glenn thinks this is a good time to pull out his Rico Suave maneuver, and Maggie just walks away. It's hilarious how out of his depth Glenn is with Maggie, and the fact that it all leads to them passing notes at dinner like kids in middle school (complete with disapproving looks from Papa Greene) was even more perfect. We'll get to where that whole mess ended up in a minute.
Hershel Greene turned up his own personal creepiness factor this week, going from the amiable veterinarian to the amiable fascist ("You control your people and I'll control mine.") and the amiable racist ("What's going on with you and the Asian boy?"). His efforts to control his family with his pale fist predictably drove Maggie to subvert him by suggesting another hookup with Glenn. Oh, and there are other people living on the farm, too! They were there all along, but this week a few of them stepped forward out of the background, right into parts of the scene that were in focus. I think they even gave one of them a name, but he might as well have been wearing a red ensign's shirt. He'll be zombie food before long.
There were a few limp sections of the show this week. Pragmatic Survivalist Shane versus No Child Left Behind Rick is getting pretty stale. Lori seems to be some kind of emotional sponge the writers use to mop up scenes with other characters. Even her own unplanned pregnancy hasn't changed things. She just strides around looking alternately determined and worried, then cries. Andrea shooting Daryl was certainly dramatic, except you saw it coming a mile away (so to speak). If nothing else, it cements her as the least likable character on this show, PMS or not.
That finally brings us to the zombie barn dance. Hershel has a whole mob of walkers boarded up in there. Maggie even knew about it. We didn't get any explanation why, or why this might be connected to the farm seeming so safe from zombie attacks. My guess: they render zombie fat to fuel that generator (seriously, it works — I've seen it done with a pig carcass). But how do they get them in there? Probably with some kind of bait, and that's probably going to be the most horrific reveal when all is said and done.

All The Pretty Details – 100 Pairs in 2015 – Part 4
30 Sep
All The Pretty Details…
All the fun is in the details. Those parts of a painted shoe that make it unique and special. Here is part 4 of my series '100 Pairs in 2015' where I am documenting some of my shoe painting projects as I aim to paint 100 pairs of shoes this year. Here is part 1, part 2, and part 3.
Butterfly Converse
These pretty Converse All-Stars were needing some contrast. They were a little too pink. An all over coat of a pale green set off the candy pink.
The butterfly silhouette designs were meticulously hand painted in black. Now these kicks are pretty and unique.
Be Loved Flats
Suede flats in cobalt blue are already striking but now they are also sweet with a hand painted design of white hearts.
Be wary if you are attempting to paint on suede that it is a slooow process. This relatively simple design is the result of more than fifteen hours of painting.
Knee High Paisley Boots
I found these boots in quite good condition except the straps were disintegrating making the whole boot look old. I painted a paisley design in lilac and cut off the old straps. I recycled an old necklace into a chain embellishment by looping it through the existing buckle and sewing in place.
Math Heels
Perfect for a math teacher with a sense of humour and a sense of style.
I hand painted these black leather pumps with mathematical symbols and equations in green and orange.
With customised shoes you can have your own one-of-a-kind work shoes.
Dorothy Slingbacks
Sometimes what you need is something bright and sparkly. These gold leather Sportsgirl slingback heels were a perfect shoe to become ruby red and sparkling bright.
Textured Booties
Even relatively new shoes can end up looking tired when the surface becomes wrinkled.
Hand painting these in a textural design disguises the surface imperfections and make them fun and wearable again.
I also added a silver glitter heel for some sparkle.
With only three months left in the year soon it will be time to tally up my progress.
Check out my events page for upcoming workshops and you can arrange a custom order via Etsy.

I am frankly a MESS... They put him into protection/confinement, then his order of protection it went to state and was denied, so he put in a appeal, he will be given an additional 10 days in protection until they hear from state about transfer....I got a letter from him yesterday and it basically stated that with the gangs in there that if you aren't " one of them or don't join" then your considered an X man and you will not stay there unharmed as "they" wont let you.. I am a complete and utter mess... I don't know what to do...I did call up there and was told his injuries weren't that bad that he was exaggerating .. do i believe them?? please help I need all the suggestions i can get...thank you..

Dianna Bakker was diagnosed with cancer of the left breast last April. She underwent chemotherapy followed by a mastectomy in September.
Although Ms. Bakker's first medical oncologist did not recommend radiation therapy, Bakker, who had immersed herself researching her treatment options, found that for her type of cancer radiation was highly recommended.
"You have no control over cancer, and I wanted to do everything I could," said Bakker, 71. "So I switched hospitals and got a second opinion at Silver Cross Hospital. I'm glad I did."
At Silver Cross Dr. Anne McCall, medical director of radiation oncology at University of Chicago Medicine Comprehensive Cancer Center at Silver Cross, performed a unique breast cancer treatment, 3-D Surface Imaging to Facilitate Deep-Inspiration Breath-Hold (DIBH) on Bakker. The treatment minimizes the risk of radiation exposure to the heart for patients with left-sided breast tumors.
By breathing deeply and briefly holding their breath during treatment, patients can move the heart and lungs away from the chest wall or breast tissue. To make DIBH easier for the patient, Dr. McCall uses a state-of-the-art system that relies on 3D surface imaging to detect the breast's position for accurate treatment. This highly sensitive technology delivers radiation only during optimal positioning, and shuts off automatically when the patient coughs or exhales. Unlike older DIBH technology, it's non-invasive and doesn't require the patient to breathe into a device during treatment.
"I think it's a terrific idea," said Bakker. "It's less time that you're exposed.
"I'm really impressed with how they're dealing with my cancer at Silver Cross," said Bakker, who is nearly finished with her treatments. "It's investigating yourself, finding the right doctor, listening to them and letting them make the decision for you. "I just cannot speak highly enough about them. They do everything they can to help me. All I keep thinking is I'm almost done. I'm going to conquer this cancer."

lol Someone needs to see if Brad would write a song about mosquitos! lol I don't see them like I used to. Not sure if it is because I was feeding the birds which having more birds in our yard meant they were eating them nasty things or not. I don't like ticks at all. This summer I found a little speck of a tick on my son's back. When I find a tick on the kids I always put it in a container to keep just in case they get sick and they need to have the tick to see what it had.
Dooley would love some Frontline! I only use it once a year when the ticks first come out. It keeps the ticks off my dogs the rest of the summer. If I notice them getting them again I will put some more Frontline on them. We've been lucky that we don't have fleas at our house!

Measuring Ages and Elemental Abundances from Unresolved Stellar Populations: Fe, Mg, C, N, and Ca - Astrophysics
Measuring Ages and Elemental Abundances from Unresolved Stellar Populations: Fe, Mg, C, N, and Ca - Astrophysics - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
Abstract: We present a method for determining mean light-weighted ages and abundancesof Fe, Mg, C, N, and Ca, from medium resolution spectroscopy of unresolvedstellar populations. The method, pioneered by Schiavon 2007, is implementedin a publicly available code called EZ Ages. The method and error estimationare described, and the results tested for accuracy and consistency, byapplication to integrated spectra of well-known Galactic globular and openclusters. Ages and abundances from integrated light analysis agree with studiesof resolved stars to within +-0.1 dex for most clusters, and to within +-0.2dex for nearly all cases. The results are robust to the choice of Lick indicesused in the fitting to within +-0.1 dex, except for a few systematicdeviations which are clearly categorized. The realism of our error estimates ischecked through comparison with detailed Monte Carlo simulations. Finally, weapply EZ Ages to the sample of galaxies presented in Thomas et al. 2005 andcompare our derived values of age, Fe-H, and alpha-Fe to their analysis. Wefind that alpha-Fe is very consistent between the two analyses, that ages areconsistent for old Age > 10 Gyr populations, but show modest systematicdifferences at younger ages, and that Fe-H is fairly consistent, with smallsystematic differences related to the age systematics. Overall, EZ Agesprovides accurate estimates of fundamental parameters from medium resolutionspectra of unresolved stellar populations in the old and intermediate-ageregime, for the first time allowing quantitative estimates of the abundances ofC, N, and Ca in these unresolved systems.

The Bad Book Project
Jane Postlethwaite is a Brighton based comedian, writer and actor. She was a Funny Women Awards Finalist in 2015 and a Brighton Comedy Festival Squawker Award Finalist. She also hosts the most unique comedy show in Brighton. The Bad Book Project brings together a mixture of comedians and an offering of a reading from very bad books. Jane has been a fan of bad books for years, mostly consisting of celebrity autobiographies, and she told Brighton Style Mag "I used to read them to my friends an always wanted to do a night, this year I got myself organised and arranged it. Reading from bad books is not a new idea…the nights that have inspired me are the American nights called 'Moth' which is storytelling and 'Celebrity Autobiography' where celebrities read form other celebrities autobiographies".
So who reads you the books? "These people are comedians, writers, DJ's, musicians, actors and generally funny people" Jane continued. For the November edition of the show, the audience were treated to readings from Julie Jepson, Simon Plotkin, Peter Strong and Rebecca Turner as well as others. The audience then decide which is the best bad book, and the winner wins a rubbish prize. She told Brighton Style Mag that her highlights have been 'the Peter Andre autobiography, Beryl Reid cat book and the alternative version of the snowman'.
The night began in July this year and Jane says that "we already have a loyal fan base. We fill the room at each event!". The event takes place at the Marwood Coffee Shop & Studios at 52 Ship Street in Brighton. The next event will be held on Saturday 13th February, the perfect date night for Valentines Day! Did we also mention the night is free? You can listen to past shows here, and you can find out more about the events on Jane's Facebook page.

Review: Patient Zero
PLOT: After a viral outbreak renders most of the population rabid, a team of army doctors holed-up in an underground bunker, try to discover the elusive patient zero, who they feel may possess the antibodies to cure the disease.
REVIEW: I feel like Iâve been reading about PATIENT ZERO for a few years now. Originally produced by Screen Gems as a full-scale theatrical release, the film is finally getting a limited release via Vertical Entertainment, although its been on VOD for about a month â all this three years after it was originally shot.
And so, the question is, how bad is it? Pretty awful, although watching it I couldnât help but feel like the movie had been put through a meat grinder by a studio bent on salvaging it. How else do you explain the preponderance of terrible exposition delivered via voice over? Itâs a shame because PATIENT ZERO has a decent pedigree. Director Stefan Ruzowitzky directed a great film a couple of years ago called THE COUNTERFEITERS (which won the best foreign language film Oscar in 2007), and a solid thriller last year called COLD HELL. Heâs not someone without talent. Add to that, the fact that the script wound up on the Black List in 2013, and you have to wonder what went wrong.
Former Doctor Who, Matt Smith, adopts an unconvincing American accent to play a man whoâs infected with the gene, but somehow has remained immune to the rabid transformation. Heâs now being used by the military to communicate with the infected, while he hopes to find a cure for his infected wife while carrying on an affair with a doctor â played by Natalie Dormer - whoâs pregnant with his child.
The first half of the film is pretty dicey, only livened up by a conceit where Smith plays music to rile up his subjects, including Joe Cocker and some other pricey soundtrack selections. Things pick up when Stanley Tucci comes into the movie as an infected subject whoâs perfectly rational, verbose, and seems more highly evolved than the rest â with the thinking being that heâs the subject theyâve been waiting for.
Tucci really is the only reason to watch this, with him having fun chewing scenery. He elevates the film briefly, but before long it turns into just another zombie outbreak movie, and not a very creative one at that. The stock characters, including the toxic military hard ass (a stereotypical part for Clive Standen), are beyond two dimensional, and the action sequences are silly, particularly a bout between Tucci and Smithâs infected wife (Agyness Deyn) which is way too choreographed. Itâs silly, silly stuff, but itâs also to self-serious to work in a so-bad its good kind of way.
Itâs painfully obvious why Screen Gems decided to dump this one, and while the starry cast may prompt some people to give it a shot, even the most undemanding genre fan who be well-advised to skip PATIENT ZERO. Its pretty awful, and a movie Iâm sure all involved want to forget.

Well, in one sense we're through the worst of it: January is over and gone with it the scientifically determined worst day of the year as well as any overambitious plans we had to stop drinking or generally improve ourselves etc etc. Welcome to February: where good intentions die! (In another very concrete sense, everything is still terrible so why not have another drink anyway.)
Let's talk about two notable things that are likely to affect your social calendar over the next four weeks: there's a whole new venue in town and – ugh – it's Valentine's day again.
Firstly, Printworks! It's enormous. A whole new mega-venue that used to be a print factory, this just-launched 16-acre behemoth is shaking up the London landscape with a series of aptly huge line-ups. Running from midday until 10/10.30pm, this is the perfect opportunity to catch some of the biggest names in dance music playing in a cavernous industrial space – and still get back to the room in time to either a) change out of your gross sweaty clothes and keep going like the party hellfiend you are; or, b) collapse in a sweaty exhausted heap in your lovely bed and wake up feeling amazing.
Coming up this month is a stomping bass frenzy hosted by Snowbombing and UKF featuring the likes of Sub Focus, Netsky and Friction. The following two weekends see Maya Jane Coles bring along pals including Alan Fiztpatrick, Daniel Avery and Kim Ann Foxman and Junction 2, that sparky young whippersnapper of a house and techno festival, invite Adam Beyer to play for literally an entire 10 hours alongside Reset Robot, Kevin Over and Joel Mull.
In between all this you may or may not be excited about the glorious marketing opportunity for small bears, red things and ill-fitting underwear that we all know as Valentine's day. Thankfully it falls on a Tuesday this year and has largely been bypassed by club nights, but if you do for some reason want to combine romance with sweaty drinking in the dark, who could go wrong with the Kitsuné 'French Kiss' party at Village Underground when it's French and the artwork features people kissing? Alternatively, forget this whole soulless nightmare of an occasion and just go out to something awesome like Andy Blake at Dalston Superstore or techno collective From Another Mind presenting a showcase at Bloc.

Tackling the Energy Monster
As energy costs soar, small businesses are heading back to the drawing board.
With oil well over $100 a barrel and gas hurtling past $4 a gallon, small-business owners are firing up their entrepreneurial spirit and finding low-cost, creative solutions to save energy. Some are using software that maps out shorter delivery routes to save on gas. Others are switching to energy-efficient hardware, such as new light bulbs. Others hold meetings on the Web instead of flying far-flung employees to conferences. And a handful are making even more drastic changes, such as installing solar panels to power their equipment.
Of course, lots of large companies are also using these measures. But they have some advantages small firms don't. It's easier for them to shift some of their higher energy costs to customers, for instance. And they can use their size to get leverage on energy costs. A recent study by the Small Business Administration's Office of Advocacy found that small businesses in the commercial sector, for instance, paid 30% more for electricity and 20% more for natural gas than the bigger guys.
What can small businesses do to save energy? We spoke with a bunch of them, in search of some of the most innovative strategies that might inspire small firms everywhere. Here's a look at what we found.
Transportation can be one of the biggest energy expenses for small businesses. So, many small companies are trying to rein in fuel costs when employees are on the road.
Wil Fischer Cos., a wholesale delivery company in Springfield, Mo., uses mapping technology to make its 175 deliveries a day more efficiently. The technology, developed by a division of United Parcel Service Inc., uses global-positioning-system software to find the shortest routes for the company's 18 trucks. The system also helps drivers avoid left turns and traffic jams, where idling wastes gas.
WSJ Podcast
Hear an interview with Virginia Lacy, a consultant at the Rocky Mountain Institute, on how companies can figure out which energy upgrades are the most cost-effective for them.
The system's hardware and software cost Wil Fischer $80,000. In addition, there's a monthly charge of $15 for a gadget in each truck that broadcasts the GPS signals.
Last year, the system cut the company's miles driven by 25,000, saving a bundle on gas: Wil Fischer's total fuel costs rose less than 1% for the year, or about $1,700, to $250,000. In comparison, last year diesel prices jumped an average of 27.5% across the U.S. and regular unleaded gas rose 31.2%, according to AAA.
Roff Logistics Inc., a Brampton, Ontario, distributor for Wal-Mart Stores Inc., is trying to cut out another source of wasted fuel -- trips to the gas station.
The delivery company, which has a fleet of 133 trucks and 18 off-road yard cabs, uses an on-site refueling service from 4Refuel Inc. of Langley, British Columbia. Between midnight and 2 a.m., a 4Refuel tanker comes into Roff's lots and pumps diesel to each of its trucks. 4Refuel charges a premium of about 10% to 15% on the per-gallon cost of fuel. But 4Refuel says clients end up with a net savings of 10% to 20% on their total fuel costs, since their drivers aren't constantly going out of their way to get to gas stations.
Hugh Sanders, Roff's vice president, says the service saves on more than fuel costs. "We pay our drivers by the hour, so they're not tied up in car lots waiting to get fuel," he says.
Other companies are trying to save on gas by buying hybrids. Rana Creek Habitat Restoration, a Carmel Valley, Calif., landscape-architecture and ecological-design firm with 32 employees, traded in four of its 10-auto fleet for various hybrids. They altogether cost about $130,000, but each uses only about $25 a week in fuel, compared with $100 for the traditional autos -- an annual savings of about $3,900 per hybrid.
Owner Paul Kephart estimates the most fuel-efficient of the hybrids will pay for themselves in about five years. He figures each auto clocks about 35,000 miles a year because employees frequently drive to client sites. "Because we live out in the country, out in the mountains, the transition to the hybrid cars made a lot of sense for us," he says.
Some small companies are tackling soaring bills by stocking their workplaces with energy-saving equipment and systems. Arctic Wire Rope & Supply Inc., of Anchorage, Alaska, last year spent about $15,000 replacing all of the light bulbs and fixtures in its 22,000-square-foot warehouse and office building with more energy-efficient ones.
The new light bulbs use about 58% less electricity, reducing annual power costs to $10,000 from $14,000, owner Eric McCallum estimates. He expects to recoup the full cost of the bulbs in about 3½ years -- well below the five-year return on investment he usually shoots for. Not to mention that the bulbs offer a better quality of lighting than the ones he replaced.
But some of Arctic's power-saving experiments have been slower to pay off. The 14-employee industrial distributor and manufacturer installed a device that blasts a thin layer of air whenever the warehouse loading door opens. The system traps warm or cool air inside, reducing heating and air-conditioning costs.
See the complete Small Business report. Plus, see continuing coverage.
Mr. McCallum used a calculator on the manufacturer's Web site to see how much he'd save by using the curtain. The estimate: 25% less natural gas, based on his assumption that the door is opened about 10 times a day for 10 minutes each time. "We've only seen a 10% to 15% drop in gas usage" from the curtain, Mr. McCallum says.
He thinks he may have overestimated how much the door gets used, especially now that employees are opening the door less frequently to help save energy. He figures the curtain, made by Berner International Corp. of New Castle, Pa., will take at least five years to recoup the $12,000 it cost to buy, ship and install.
Companies have even more energy-saving options when designing a new building, since they can install more-efficient equipment without going through the hassles and expense of a renovation. LaCrosse Footwear Inc., a Portland, Ore., shoe manufacturer with about 300 employees, partnered with a developer to put up a new building in 2006. The 146,000-square-foot office and warehouse includes skylights to provide more natural light to save on lighting. In the warehouse space, radiant heaters warm only the small areas where people actually work, and motion detectors turn lights on only when someone is using a particular section.
The improvements cost an extra $149,140. But an audit by Energy Trust of Oregon Inc., a government-funded organization that provides money to businesses that improve their efficiency, found that the company would save $32,000 annually. What's more, LaCrosse will receive a total of about $52,000 in state tax credits. So, the company expects to recoup the entire investment in about three years.
Alternative energies can save companies money -- depending on where they're located. States such as California and New Jersey offer big incentives to businesses that install solar panels or windmills, allowing some companies to recoup the steep investment costs in three to five years.
Prout Funeral Home Inc., a family-owned business in Verona, N.J., was one of the first small businesses in the state to install solar panels to reduce energy use and overhead costs.
Bob Prout, whose grandfather founded the funeral home in 1924, says he started looking at solar panels 25 years ago, but found they weren't economically feasible for his business. But about five years ago, New Jersey's Clean Energy Program started providing rebates to first-time adopters of alternative energy -- more than half off the installation cost. Businesses could also sell surplus power they produced to a utility.
Mr. Prout decided to take the plunge. Out-of-pocket costs for his 114 solar panels ran $43,400, after $82,000 in state rebates and an $18,600 tax credit. Now his monthly electricity bills are $200 to $700 a month; he estimates they would run $1,500 to $1,800 without solar panels. He expects to recoup his investment in the panels within five to six years.
"It certainly helps that New Jersey is very supportive and progressive as far as sustainable energy," says Mr. Prout. "This is probably cutting my overhead easily by $10,000 to $12,000 a year, with no effects with the way we do business."
Some businesses are finding solar power makes sense even on a smaller scale. Andy McCoy, owner of a Creative Colors International Inc. franchise in Phoenix, spent about $15,000 outfitting his 10 vans with solar panels to power their air compressors, heat guns and driers. The company, which repairs and refurbishes furniture and carpeting, used to spend about $500 a year replacing the gas-powered generators in each van and about $15 to $20 a week on fuel to power them. Now, he pays just $20 a year to maintain the power systems for the whole fleet. "It's a lot less maintenance and pretty much a trouble-free system," Mr. McCoy says. The panels pay for themselves within a year and a half, he says.
Some cost-saving techniques involve how employees interact. Sherwood Design Engineers Ltd., a San Francisco civil- and environmental-engineering firm with 40 employees, last year began using Web conferencing in place of some staff meetings. The technology allows its New York and San Francisco offices to meet using a Web camera and a projector that displays an image of each conference room on a white wall. Sherwood employees travel about 70% less than before, says design engineer Duanne Gilmore.
The Web camera and projector cost $80 and $850, respectively, while monthly Web-hosting service charges run $375, Mr. Gilmore says. He estimates Sherwood saves about $30,000 to $40,000 annually on transportation costs. "The cost of getting taxis to the airport and air fares is very expensive now," he says. "So we're finding the savings is adding up very fast."
With some states looking to cut power usage and ease pressure on the grid, some power companies are offering deals to small businesses to cut their energy use, such as rebates and low-cost loans. And they don't have to involve large-scale alternative-energy investments.
Certain small-business customers of CPS Energy of San Antonio, for example, can opt for flat-rate bills for a year to protect against surges in future fuel costs.
"It's a hedge against the fuel price," says Sylvia Arnold, CPS Energy's director of customer service. With seasonal businesses, she adds, "the ability to budget is an enormous convenience for them. It really helps them in managing their costs."
Southern California Gas Co. and San Diego Gas & Electric Co., both units of Sempra Energy Corp. of San Diego, provide five-year interest-free loans of up to $50,000 to small-business customers when they buy energy-efficient equipment and upgrades. And utilities will typically provide a free energy audit.
The new Temple nightclub in San Francisco's trendy SoMa (or South of Market) section called the local power company, Pacific Gas & Electric Co., a subsidiary of PG&E Corp. , for an audit before opening last fall. The findings: If the owners replaced 150 light bulbs across the first two floors of the nightclub and restaurant building with energy-efficient CFLs and LEDs, the club would save about $3,000 annually on its electric bill. The club soon replaced all the bulbs. Although each new one costs about $40, the club expects to recoup the extra cost in "less than four years," says Mike Zuckerman, director of sustainability for the club's parent company, Zen Compound LLC.
As part of PG&E's energy-efficiency program, Temple will be eligible to get a $17,000 rebate from the utility after it replaces all the light bulbs in the four-story building.
About four blocks away, the Supperclub, a restaurant, bar and performance space, got an energy audit in March. The auditor told the club it would save $5,000 a year by switching to PG&E's off-peak rate from its basic fee plan, since the club mostly needs power at night. The company estimates it will save $5,000 a year because of the switch.
"So, right away we started saving without even doing anything," says Laurie Brown, event and marketing manager for the club, which is owned by IQ Creative LLC of Amsterdam.
PG&E immediately installed a new meter free. A more thorough audit found more energy-sapping trouble spots: inefficient lighting and worn appliances that needed to be replaced. In the end, PG&E gave a 75% rebate for a $1,000 special fan for a walk-in fridge, and awarded 100% rebates to buy energy-efficient light bulbs and repair gaskets.
Of course, saving energy isn't always about big investments or utility deals. Companies can cut their bills by taking everyday steps to reduce power use.
Sherwood Design, the company that holds its meetings on the Web, has also started a campaign to get employees to do simple things. Last December, it put up signs around the office reminding them to turn off the printer each night -- noting it saves the equivalent of making 1,500 photocopies -- and to turn off their computers at the power strip rather than just using the power button, a move that saves "enough energy to microwave six dinners."
Matthew Gennuso, chef-owner of Chez Pascal in Providence, R.I., turns off the pilot lights in his five stoves when his restaurant is closed on Sundays and Mondays. Savings: $5 a day.
Meanwhile, to avoid paying his suppliers' fuel surcharges, he makes sure to order carefully so he gets only one delivery a week of dry goods instead of the usual three. And he and other area restaurateurs chip in to help each other save on gas. Before making a trip to a local farm, they'll often call around to see if anyone else needs supplies. "Honestly, the best way to save cost is try to get involved in solar energy," Mr. Gennuso says. "But that stuff is a huge expense."

Prayer & Stillness
October 23, 2013
The following is in answer to questions raised in a Western
Philosophy Class on Religion at College of the Siskiyous. Weed, CA.
Philosophy Class on Religion at College of the Siskiyous. Weed, CA.
Ultimately, there is nothing wrong with Prayer, though at it's premise in the way most seem to use it, perpetuates two lies; one that there is something that the one praying is separate from and two, that things can be some other way than how they are. They are both actually the same thing.
Prayer is actually saying that the one that is being prayed to … isn't doing a good enough job and could do better. It would be just as wise to begin to accept things how they are and the possibility (the very real possibility) that you don't know how things are supposed to be. Then you begin to grow out Faith (which does not require any prayer) that everything is perfect and unfolding perfectly and always has, even though you may not understand why or how it is unfolding. If you still require "prayer," then possibly one might pray to begin to know this … to begin to have Faith that this is so.
Things cannot be any other way than how they are, if they could they would be. That seems pretty easy to see (as long as you are willing to stop telling a story of how things should be, and just begin to experience them exactly as they are). If something is going to be some other way, just watch … it will … things are constantly shifting and changing and if one begins to stop listening to the thoughts about how things should be, and begins to pay attention to how they are … the mind begins to become quieter and quieter.
This is what is being pointed to. You weren't born thinking. You were born in Stillness and came into a world of noise "thinking." You "learned" to "think." Prior to thinking/thoughts ... there was only the natural state of simply "Being" Aware of everything in Stillness. This is how it is right now, begin to stop paying attention to the thoughts and begin paying attention to the Stillness.
On Stillness
Not surprisingly, this Prayer is popular in the East, but not in the West. The East has been immersed for thousands of years in the practice of placing the attention on Stillness, not the thoughts. Thoughts are given a great deal of importance in the West, because it is what most identify with as "who they are" as part of or sometimes the entire identity/personality. However, if this is really honestly looked at; how can one "be" a thought?
When one becomes ready to let go of the thought "I" … Stillness (in a sense, rushes in and fills all of everything) then there is no room for the thought "I" there is only Stillness … just like when you were a child and you didn't "think" to exist … you just existed in Stillness. That is where one returns (though has not ever left), they release the thought "I" back into the Stillness from which it appeared. No "I," no problems (who would have them), no prayer needed in Stillness, one would not be still to pray for something.
This does not mean that the world stops, you just begin to experience it from a place of Eternal Stillness. The mouth will still move (for some) the body will as well, there will look like there are problems but there will not be anyone there for the problem, there will just be a watching of all of the movie playing out, which also includes people praying for things in the movie.
Another way of seeing this is like going to a movie, you sit there in Silence (which is not Stillness but it is a close in the world pointer). Sometimes you have a "thought" that you would like the movie to go some other way than how it is going. However, you cannot change the movie just because you *think* it should be some other way. Most people should be able to see this analogy. This is how it is with life and prayer … life/the movie is playing out for your entertainment (feel free to ask "who's") and "prayer" is like the "thought" in the movie theater … it doesn't hurt anything to have it but it doesn't change a dang thing either. :o)

Ghaziabad civic polls: BSP candidate rolls our manifesto on Rs100 stamp paper
The BSP candidate, who has only studied up to primary class, said she will open government schools on line of Central Schools and Navodaya Vidyalayas in each of the 100 wards of the Ghaziabad municipal corporation.noida Updated: Nov 16, 2017 21:37 IST
In an attempt to strengthen her position as a candidate committed to development, the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) mayoral candidate rolled out her list of promises on a stamp paper of Rs100 on Thursday and made it public.
"All the promises that I wish to fulfill are written on a stamp paper and this means that they will be binding on me. I will complete these, if elected," Munni Chaudhary said.
In the document, the 50-year-old has emphasised on strengthening the public education and health system, and civic amenities. The BSP candidate, who has only studied up to primary class, said she will open government schools on line of Central Schools and Navodaya Vidyalayas in each of the 100 wards of the Ghaziabad municipal corporation.
"We will provide low-cost medical services to residents of each ward," Chaudhary said, adding that she will also raise the issue of weekly markets and will fight for restoration of their place of operation from where they were moved out.
Against BJP's promise of replacing all street lights within 48 hours of getting elected, Chaudhary promises to get the job done in 24 hours. She has also promised installation of CCTV cameras in each ward to check crimes, such as chain-snatching.
Chaudhary was a surprise candidate from the BSP as she was fielded at the last moment. A week before she was declared the BSP mayoral candidate, Chaudhary and her husband shifted from BSP to Samajwadi Party (SP). However, when the SP gave the mayoral ticket to Rashi Garg, Chaudhary and her husband again joined the BSP and got the ticket for mayor's seat.
Though the civic body's top post is reserved for women, there's stiff competition among the 13 candidates all of whom, barring Chaudhary, are either post-graduates or MBAs.
AAP candidate Dr Pragati Tyagi, though a political first-timer, is an MD (gynaecology). Samajwadi Party candidate Rashi Garg is an MBA in marketing and HR; she too is contesting her first election. Congress candidate Dolly Sharma is also an MBA with specialisation in marketing and HR. BJP candidate Asha Sharma is a post-graduate in political science and had been an active party worker 25 years. The two-time councillor from Kavi Nagar and Nehru Nagar has also been a leader of the BJP women's wing.
Major political parties, such as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), have already rolled out their manifestoes for the local body polls. Both parties have tried to cater to the masses and have raised issues of health, cleanliness, improvement in civic infrastructure and provision of basic facilities, like clean water, electricity and speedy redressal of complaints.

I was planning to write an update on my situation following my ablation 4 weeks ago. The reason for my relative silence is that I have been contending with very bad urticaria since and quite frankly haven't been in the mood.
The reason for this post is that I have been walking to start to crank up my exercise.
Yesterday afternoon I walked 5k around a local garden - Sir Harold Hillier. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
So tonight I did the same again. However when I stopped walking my heart started beating very fast but still in rhythm.
Now nearly 2 hours later I am still beating at about 115bpm despite resting. I have no other symptoms. I have been in NSR at around 55bpm since my ablation.
Any constructive comment would be appreciated.

I have cut out all of my strips. They are each 2 inches wide. I used the Log Cabin ruler designed by Marti Michell to do this. I don't enjoy cutting out fabric at all so the ruler made a bad job slightly less tortuous.
Previously I cut out some test strips just to see what it would look like. I used the yellow fabric on the dark side of the block as the outer strips but when I sewed it up I wasn't happy with it. The colour wasn't dark enough; it's more of a medium tone. Here's what it looks like:
It looks huge in that photo but is actually approximately 13 by 13 inches.
This time instead of cutting yellow strips I cut the dark blue that I put to one side to use as a border round all the log cabin blocks. I like that much better. I'll post a pic of it later.
