"Remind Me" type Birthday, spec events, etc
Anyone know of a good reminder type software for Windows 7 64 ??? I had a great one called 'Remind Me' but it wouldn't run in a 64 bit environment so now I'm in the hunt for a replacement. I'd paid a few bucks for it a few years ago and contacted the author but he had no plans to put it in a 64 bit package so...
Free is always preferred but I'd buy another one if anyone knows of any good ones. TIA

Doesn't look like it's really suitable for a birthday tracker is it??? I'm kind of looking for something to load the friends and family birthdays into and it didn't look like this even offered an 'annual' selection. Noted daily, weekly, monthly, one time, etc. What do ya think ? Thanks for the heads up on it though - didn't know it existed in 7.

Windows 7 Ultimate x64
I bought C-Organizer Pro a few years ago after testing many PIM's.
It's v3.7, and I can't talk about newer versions.
v3.7 is 32-bit but I run it on my Win 7 64-bit with no issues.
You might try the latest version. I've been meaning to, though I'd have to pay full boat again because of the upgrade policy. 40 bucks. I'm cheap about buying sofware, but I would do it if I like it. I've been *real* happy with it.
I don't think the trial download is crippled, but not certain.
I never forget a birthday or appointment any more.
It's a mainstay for me, for addresses, phone numbers, passwords, links and misc data.
So it's not a simple reminder, but that's why I first bought it.
Recurring, and all the bells/whistles to select when you plug in the birthday.
Same with appointments.

Hi all
I was diagnosed before Xmas and am now going through the battle of getting my meds right as I still have too many pains, breathlessness etc.
Is it just me or does anyone else get sick of being told how well you look or being asked if your better now?
Yes apart from the scaley rash around my mouth that I've grown a beard to hide I do indeed look well, however, they can't see the pain when I breath in every time. They can't see me stop to catch my breath after walking up the stairs. They can't see me stand motionless like a statue because I either aren't sure what I'm doing or I just don't feel right. They can't see me struggling to sleep for more than a couple of hours a night.
But I must better cause I look so well.
Rant over, thanks for reading

There are certain things we wish we knew before we tried it and flying is one of them.
If you travel by air regularly, how much do you really know about your flight?

If you travel by air regularly, how much do you really know about your flight?
There are certain things your pilot will not tell you. But don't worry about that, because that's what we are here for:
- If you're a nervous flier, don't fly in the afternoon. Flying in the afternoon have risks attached. For instance, chances of a thunderstorm in the afternoon or in the evening are higher which could cause the air to be bumpier. So, when you're making a domestic flight booking be sure to book a morning flight.
- There is a 'best place to sit' on an aeroplane. And this depends entirely on the kind of 'comfort' you're looking for on your flight. The back of the aeroplane is usually warmer, however, it is also the bumpiest. When you have a seat in the middle, you won't feel the turbulence as much. And if you sit close to the front, you are probably breathing the freshest air in the entire plane.
- If one engine is down, you won't know about it. An aeroplane has two engines and if one engine fails, according to pilots interviewed by Reader's Digest, the pilot might say that it's 'indicating improperly.' There's nothing to be worried about if you're taking a flight to DRC or anywhere in particular, because an aeroplane can function properly by only using one engine.
- Travelling with a baby on your lap is an absolute no-no. It's normal to want to show your little one how beautiful the view outside is, however, it's not recommended that they remain on your lap. If there is any deceleration, you might lose your grip of your child which can be dangerous.
- Turbulence cannot cause the plane to crash. Pilots usually try to avoid turbulence because its apparently 'annoying' and not because it's a danger or hazard.
- You're surrounded by germs. As if you didn't know that already? There are thousands of people getting on and off flights each day – sometimes within a few minutes of the next batch of passengers to fill the plane. From the tray tables and seats to the book filled with cartoons for kids to entertain them. Another thing to note is that if you perhaps fall ill after your flight to Johannesburg, it's probably environmental and not the air you breathe in.

Roma's odds to reach UCL semis were 'too long' to take bets at Vegas book
Roma's chances to overcome Barcelona and advance to the Champions League semifinals were so long that a prominent Las Vegas sportsbook did not even take bets.
The Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook, which touts itself as the world's largest sportsbook, had Roma at +360 to beat Barcelona in the second leg.
But with the Italian side needing to score three goals to go through, and Barcelona having only conceded three in their previous nine Champions League games this season, the odds were too long.
"It would have been in the neighborhood of Barcelona 1/100 and Roma 20/1 to advance prior to today's match," Westgate manager Jeff Sherman told ESPN.
So at those odds, to win a measly $100 on Barcelona going through, a bettor would have to place a $10,000 wager, but Sherman added: "We don't offer prices when they get above -5,000 in soccer."
ESPN researcher Mackenzie Kraemer contributed to this report.

Megan from ineed2pee is just so sexy and here we have her in her jeans locked out of the house. The poor thing was so desperate to pee when she got home that you know her bladder was getting ready to release and then she finds there is no way in as she has lost her keys.
I just love to watch her squirm and her jeans are so tight that they must be pressing into her bladder making the pressure even greater. She really is trying to hold her bladder the determination is great but as this is a ineed2pee movie the great thing is that we know she is going to hold till she loses control and then it happens and the pee is just flooding through her jeans and look how soaked the jeans are what a great pee stain the poor thing.

Here we have two chicks caught pissing on the Pisshunters cameras. It's a pity we didn't get a better camera angel so we could see the fat blonde chicks pissing pussy but we do get a front on shot and the other lady drops her jeans and releases her pee stream in the grass they look like they are having� a good time and laughing as they pee. Pisshunters always catch such lovely moments. Once again there is no wiping when the peeing has finished so I have to go back to my earlier comments in that there must be a lot of chicks with a damp pee patch in their panties bouncing just doesn't shake all the pee off.

Committee Investigation Claims OPM Data Breach was Preventable
OPM leadership failed to heed OIG warnings on cybersecurity threats, which helped lead to the large scale OPM data breach last year, a report states.
- A failure to prioritize cybersecurity and adequately secure high value data helped lead to the OPM data breach, according to a House Oversight and Government Reform report.
Furthermore, the OPM Inspector General (IG) had warned the agency as early as 2005 that the information it maintained was potentially vulnerable to hackers.
There was also an overall lax security environment, according to The OPM Data Breach: How the Government Jeopardized Our National Security for More than a Generation. OPM had an "absence of an effective managerial structure to implement reliable IT security policies," and also "failed to implement the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) longstanding requirement to use multi-factor authentication for employees and contractors who log on to the network."
On June 4, OPM announced that it was the victim of a cyber attack, compromising millions of federal applicants' personally identifiable information ("PII"), records, and sensitive information. Nearly one month later, OPM reported that a significantly greater number of individuals were affected by a 'separate but related' cybersecurity breach.
The personnel files of 4.2 million former and current government employees and security clearance background investigation information on 21.5 million individuals were exfiltrated by hackers.
OPM also misled Congress and the public by downplaying the fallout, the report's authors explained.
"OPM failed to proactively announce the 2014 breach to the public, and claimed the two cyberattacks were not connected," the report reads. "The 2014 and 2015 incidents, however, appear to be connected and possibly coordinated."
Donna Seymour, who was the OPM CIO at the time, also made false and misleading statements under oath, the House report claimed. For example, Seymour reportedly testified on April 22, 2015 that "our antiquated technologies may have helped us a little bit." Two months later, Seymour then testified that the stolen manuals that were a roadmap to OPM's systems were "outdated security documents."
OPM disagrees with many aspects of the House report, OPM Director Beth Cobert writes in a blog post. The report "does not fully reflect where [OPM] stands today," Cobert said.
"Over the past year OPM has worked diligently with its partners across government and made significant progress to strengthen our cybersecurity posture, and reestablish confidence in this agency's ability to protect data while delivering on our core missions," she wrote.
For example, those who log in to OPM systems are required to use strong multi-factor authentication forms, Cobert explained. Furthermore, OPM has strengthened its legacy technology systems while developing a new, modern IT infrastructure.
"At OPM we recognize that cybersecurity is not just about technology – it's about people," Cobert wrote. "In addition to strengthening our technology, we have added seasoned cybersecurity and IT experts to our already talented team."
In a 2015 interview with HealthITSecurity.com, Institute for Critical Infrastructure Technology (ICIT) Co-founder and Senior Fellow Parham Eftekhari highlighted the lack of multi-level security as a key issue with the OPM data breach. It's critical that companies protect both the perimeter and the core of its organization.
Eftekhari added that good governance policies, such as changing passwords, managing accounts, and disabling accounts when an individual has left the organization are also essential to preventing these types of incidents from happening.
"One of the things we identified in [our report to Congress on OPM's security systems] before the breach was identified was that governance was really missing and is something that healthcare organizations can and should be implementing," Eftekhari said. "These are not new concepts. Governance is a basic idea that unfortunately a lot of organizations still don't get down."

As much as I've enjoyed logging my recent runs, I'm disappointed that I haven't managed more non-log bulletins. I'm in no position to change that tonight, but here at least is a photo that doesn't consist of a pair of my running shoes and a GPS readout:
I snapped it of Jefferson on Sunday morning as he neared the top of the climb back up from Camp Mack just off of the Horseshoe Trail near Brickerville (I didn't do him or the climb any justice with that camera tilt). He's been battling some knee issues and showing patience I wish I possessed in rehabbing with discipline instead of charging ahead prematurely and ending up on the shelf entirely.
We went a bit further together on Sunday morning than we had for a while. It was good to have company and be in the woods. A lot of my recent miles have been roadwork which takes good advantage of my available time but lacks the joy of any time spent on the trail. Needless to say, getting in two nice trail runs over the weekend was a blessing.
Week seven consisted of a lot of individual runs, but many of these were short on mileage and time required. Still, the miles added up and I am pleased to have goteen out with enough frequency to make up (somewhat) for the lack of long runs.
Here's the full rundown:
|Monday, February 14 - AM Run to work - good pace after 10+ trail miles the day prior.
|Monday, February 14 - PM Run home from work - pace dropped off considerably from morning.
|Tuesday, February 15 - Short AM run to work after dropping the van off for inspection.
|Tuesday, February 15 - Another PM run home from work (van still at the shop).
|Wednesday, February 16 - AM run to pick up the disappointment of a van.
|Thursday, February 17 - Finally a chance to settle in for a few miles on a meandering run home from work.
|Friday, February 18 - Back to work to finish the work week.
|Saturday, February 19 - Pre-dawn run up the Horseshoe Trail to Eagle Rock, down to Camp Mack and back through State Game Lands - wicked winds (60 mph gusts!) had littered the trail with limbs and branches.
|Sunday, February 20 - Backwards loop of the day before plus additional short loop - legs feel strong.

Old Monks Race, 6th January 2013
Runners from all over the North East swept into Hart Village on Sunday the 6th Jan 2013, the usual sleepy hollow was transformed into lycra city with all shapes and sizes in an array of vibrant colours buzzing up and down the main street.
The warming up routines were needed as 186 athletes were ready to take part in the popular Old Monks multi terrain race organised by our club. The 5.5 mile route as most will know offers a wide variety of conditions, fast tarmac, steep downhill and uphill sections, ankle deep mud, farm tracks and the firm surface of the Hart to Haswell disused railway line. The ankle deep mud was at its worst in Monk Heselden Dene, testing to say the least.
The club was well represented with 29 members running and probably just as many out on the course marshalling and co-ordinating in the village hall. The well liked and respected Alf Walsh, Burn Road's President made sure all went according to plan, even on his 94th Birthday his stopwatch was once again in action. He received a massive applause and a bottle of bubbly at the presentation before handing out all the prizes. Club Chairman Dave Edwards must be applauded for his vocal skills getting his tongue around some very unpronounceable names on the prize list. Do not believe him when he tells you "unaccustomed as I am to public speaking"!!!
The whole event went smoothly thanks to some very dedicated members who gave up their valuable free time not just on the day but weeks beforehand making sure that the race could go ahead. There were some quality athletes featuring at the front end setting some cracking times. Richard Morrell of Morpeth Harriers (30.46) was victorious after an epic battle over the first half with James Askew of Durham City Harriers (31.23), Richard's power and long leg stride proved too strong for James who lost ground over the last two miles. Third place went to Sunderland Harrier Craig Isherwood in 32.02.
The ladies race saw Carolyn Ollis of Middlesbrough and Cleveland Harriers (39.38) lead out and maintain her position, second and third places were fought over keenly by rivals Sue Phillips of Darlington Harriers (40.03) and our very own Sarah Black (40.10) who was making ground but just ran out of runway on this occasion. Sarah picked up a prize for third lady and also a prize for first veteran lady of a certain age that most do not like being reminded of! The youthful looking Sarah led the Burn Road ladies home with Lesley Strickland and Sharon Stephenson fighting it out further down the field. Lesley who is in excellent form passed her rival and pushed hard to create an unassailable gap, even managing a sprint finish. Sharon in her first race back for many years was delighted to be competing again, the former Burn Road star is hoping this race will kick start her climb up the rankings. This will be interesting to watch as Paul, Sharon's husband also a former top runner made his comeback last week at Captain Cooks fell race. The Stephensons who have both worked really hard to get back in shape should be featuring a lot this year.
Man of the moment though was Paul Wilson who is rarely out of the top ten these days. He had an excellent run for 6th place (33.17), Paul was followed by Ben Ward in 15th place (36.08). Ben has gone from strength to strength over the last six months and will no doubt get quicker throughout this year. Two big club rivals were battling it out for the next places, Davey Lake 23rd (36.53) and Darren Armstrong 31st (37.48) were inseparable over the first few miles but Davey proved the stronger athlete. Davey had suffered defeat from Darren in the last two outings so was obviously out for revenge. It looked like a 50 mile training week from Davey over the festivities gave him the edge, without a doubt Darren will want to return the favour soon. John Davis 34th (38.15) had Darren in view and will get closer very soon as his improvement gathers momentum, he ran extremely well considering an ankle injury had curtailed his training. Watch this space when he is fully fit.
An improved performance from Jack Hutton showed that his training is paying off coming home strong for 45th (39.32). As most newcomers are learning to quote Mr Ludgate "you get nothing for nothing in this game" so keep up the training and you will reap the benefits!" Sarah (as mentioned above) was 55th (40.10) followed closely by a very pleased John Mansfield 56th (40.16) who kept the pressure on throughout the race and kept Karl Edwards 61st (40.47) at bay.
John Howey 64th (41.04) who cycled up to the village for a warm up had a good run considering he has not raced for a while, he had Karl worried over the last mile. The next two runners came in close Kevin Weatherill 103rd (45.36) and Nigel Shaw 105th (45.54) followed by Lesley 107th (46.12) who, having pulled well away from Sharon went past Graeme Surtees like an express train just before the finish line. Graeme must have felt the turbulence as Lesley went past and wondered where the tornado had come from, he was focused on his own race pace and did not have time to respond to Lesley's pace, he finished 108th (46.13).
The comeback kid Sharon 113th (46.53) was quite nervous in her first race for some years but soon settled down into a rhythm, just wait until her racing legs are up to speed. The next three runners finished within 11 seconds of each other, Matty Dawkins 117th (47.16) fresh from Cooks race and into his second comeback race led them in, with Alice Simpson hot on his heels for 118th (47.17). Alice showed her potential in the first cross country of the year and seems to make it look easy. Lakeland adventurer Nichola Swinbourne 120th (47.26) also made it look easy taking these small hills in her stride, even having time to pose for the camera over Hart Moor.
There have been numerous comebacks recently due to injury, layoffs and illness, a couple that followed here have done well to get on the start line. Richard Robson who always gives it his best shot even when not fully fit did well to finish 121st (47.27), in front of wavy haired Dave Clouston 131st (48.32). Dave is a reminder to us all that it is possible to overcome adversity, after a nasty motorcycle accident a few years ago he has fought hard to run again. Just don't tell him the "just for men" hair product isn't working (check out photos on website by Alan Musgrove)!!!! Mal Pugh 133rd (49.09) has set up the dual again between himself and Dave - last year saw them battle it out on a few occasions, let's hope we see more of it. Christopher Sharp 142nd (50.05) enjoyed this run and probably spotted a few birds on the way around (feathered variety), being a keen bird watcher.
The next runner has really got the running and fitness bug. Jan Naisbitt 158th (52.45) has ran most races lately and has shown a competitive streak that will push her up the points table in the cross country races. Chasing Jan was Cary Surtees 159th (53.05) who has also proved competitive, these two ladies will no doubt be battling it out again soon and both improving even more along the way. Just behind Greg Swinbourne 160th (53.12) was keeping his pace going and testing his fitness, hoping his previous calf injury has healed. He needs to be right if he is going to keep up with his wife on the Lakeland challenge races this year. Julie McGrath 171st (56.05) and Stephen Armstrong 172nd (56.10) kept each other company most of the way while a little way back Lisa Dawkins 173rd (56.55) was in unfamiliar territory. Lisa must have had an off day but will soon be back to her normal gritty self.
A runner who only started out last year on a Wednesday evening and then progressed to the odd club session did very well today. Sam Dixon 177th (59.59) who plucked up the courage to race without her training partner has now got this race under her belt. Experiencing the friendly atmosphere of competition Sam now knows it isn't such a big deal, although many will tell her pre-race nerves are always there.
All that remains to be said is that this year's race was a great success, it looks like no residents of Hart were upset. The girls supplying refreshments did a great job, free tea and cakes went down a treat raking in £120 in donations that went to Hartlepool Hospice. Dave (Chairman) copes well under pressure, as do all the committee, the runners liked the course, Alf is 94 not out. Peter, Christine and David Johnson compiled all the results in record time, with Aiden Lamb supplying them every 5 mins or so.
It was great to see Stuart Pailor, Alan Musgrove, George Newbury, Dot Bird and Margaret Minister again all doing their bit. Stuart Whitaker did another splendid sweeping job. Thanks to all who helped and organised the event that haven't been mentioned (ok Mick i know you were there), let's hope the next one goes as well. One more thing Roy Kelly, Ian Monaghan and Dominic Shaw from the Hartlepool Mail have gone the extra mile with their coverage so a big thanks go to them. This sort of publicity can only boost the club membership.

Finally a most worthy post apropos Proust from "Onscreen Scientist," who has completed a second reading of Proust in French, and has also completed the work in English.
My hat is off to him, for several reasons. He is a physicist and a software writer. In another lifetime, I wrote software for a living, and with a few exceptions, this was not a literary crowd. I cannot think of any of my software colleagues who would have read Proust and my conjecture is that few of them would have even known who he was. Perhaps the scientist writes AI software or something besides grinding out business transactions ad nauseum ad infinitum.
I have known a few literary physics majors, most of the professors. I think physics teaches a certain curiosity about the world--well all science should do that except maybe creationism, which is of course not science but pseudo-science like astrology and phrenology and Madame Sostirus, cardreader and fortuneteller. I know people who actually believe this stuff.
But back to Proust. Onscreen Scientist offers a great summation of the book--a bit longer than those in the All England Summarize Proust Contest, and I think he is dead on about Albertine. One just cannot ever quite get a handle on her. She remains, for me, too, a tabula rasa.
Currently, I am wallowing in Mme. Villeparisis' endless party, and in two days I leave for Northern Nevada, a wonderful place for reading Proust but I only travel there with softcovers I can leave behind, and of course, that would not be Proust.
So click ye forth and read Onscreen Scientist's Proust post, and then hie ye to Proust himself, the great one. I was an the New England Independent Booksellers Association Trade Show yesterday and scooped up a wonderful bunch of books.
When people say they don't read, I feel an awful sympathy. How could you not read?
After all, Onscreen Scientists reads the master in French. Zowie!
Odette, the other one

Who is Ellen?
The name "Ellen" means shining light, torch, the bright one, sun, moon, mercy, clear, chosen, and most beautiful woman.
Several years ago I was the victim of a most heinous form of abuse unlike anything I had ever thought possible. Not having been raised in a Christian home, my first experience with Christians and pastors had been one of joy, grace, fellowship, love, and delight. When faced with the horrors of having the very essence of who I was as a woman of faith stripped from me in what I can only describe as spiritual rape, I couldn't comprehend what was happening. This was church, after all, and I believed that everything works together for good for those who love God. Somehow, it didn't make sense that everything was not working together for good. When I was finally able to resign myself to the fact that God was not going to "work this out," I made my escape and sought a safe haven.
Little did I realize that I was going from the proverbial frying pan into the fire. Oh, how I tried to beat back the flames! Oh, how I prayed and pleaded for mercy, for grace, for a chance. "But hate is strong and mocks the song of peace on earth, good will toward" Ellen.
He who began a good work . . . had forsaken me . . . and the silence was more than deafening . . . it was defeating. So intertwined were we, that as God went missing, so did Ellen. But I am nothing, if not tenacious.
Like me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/whenchurchhurts
Ellen, yet again you speak the same words as me and it is affirming to know that I am not exaggerating out of proportion. When I met with a group from the church hierarchy as a result of my Minister's false accusations, I described feeling as if I had been gang raped. The next day I lay curled up on the floor screaming. Thankyou again for this ministry

Introducing Samarra Khaja's new book, and a bunch of smiles.
Hello friends! It's our day on the Sew Adorkable blog hop & book tour and we're pumped! We really had no idea when we joined the tour that it would be such a blast. First, we picked our sewing project … TRAWRzers. (Isn't it fun to say??) We like the TRAWRzers because they are so cozy, and because kids totally love them. Put a pair on and you can't stop grinning. Or dancing. As Samarra says, "put some in rotation for a roaring good time!" (We totally agree!)

Matt Leinart hired Hollywood heavyweight Creative Artists Agency and longtime NFL player agent Tom Condon on Tuesday to handle his NFL contract negotiations. Last week, the former USC quarterback dropped agent Leigh Steinberg.
"After lengthy discussions with my family, I felt it was in the best interest for my professional football career to have all of my representation combined," Leinart said in a statement. "My good friend and agent, Chuck Price, and Tom Condon of CAA Football will oversee my professional representation."
Leinart released his statement just minutes before taking to the field at USC to work out for General Manager Mike Tannenbaum, Coach Eric Mangini and offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer of the New York Jets. The trio watched as Leinart tossed balls to a receiving corps that included former USC running backs Reggie Bush and Andre Woodert and NFL receiver Az-Zahir Hakim.
Leinart was scheduled to travel to New Orleans today and Oakland on Thursday to meet with representatives of the Saints and Raiders. He'll head into the April 29 NFL draft under the guidance of Price, his longtime associate, and Condon, an agent whose roster of NFL players includes quarterbacks Peyton Manning and Eli Manning.

No lengthier are they just for kids. Gas driven scooters are quickly using more than as the favored technique of transportation to function and college. They are economical, can maneuver via restricted areas and with a gasoline scooter, you can take brief-cuts that an automobile can not.But if speed is not your quantity 1 priority, then a http://Louismichelides92.wikidot.com would be a much better choice. The handlebars are flat, which enables the rider to trip in an upright posture. You wouldn't be able to catch a road bike on that posture. But that's not important.

The adrenalin rush was just as good (if not better at the time) than my beloved browsing. I could not believe I experienced skipped out on this fantastic rush all these many years.The common Road Bikes are as well high for a woman, with a normal built. Ordinary bikes have higher handlebars that are hard to attain. Therefore, if you are in search for the ideal women's street bicycle, you should usually be aware of the bicycle's dimension that you are about to purchase. A test generate of the bicycle you want to have before buying is also a good idea.

Although difficult to install, what you get after effectively installing this one is your aspiration bicycle — the electric bikes.You will be heading away from civilization in most instances, so it is important to know how to restore flat tires and other gear malfunctions in purchase to avoid being stranded. Numerous individuals bicycle in groups, but other people favor to go alone. If you choose to do a solo trip, make sure you have deal with your self so you do not get lost miles away from assist. Besides becoming in a position to take care of any mechanical problems, there are some other essential items of gear that you will need when mountainbiking.So what do you need to make one, and how much will it cost? About $300 should do it for a first attempt, furthermore a good donor bike. There are a few high quality variables like the motor, and the batteries particularly.

text: So heres the deal. I've saved up just about enough money for a new DSLR or a HD Camcorder. I will eventually be getting both, it's just a matter of time. However I'm completely torn on which to get first. I love filming and taking photos, so that's really not an issue. I'm leaning toward a DSLR first (Canon Rebel XSI or something similar) due to the fact that I think the technology is progressing more in the camcorder field and that I might be better off waiting on the camcorder. Does that make sense to anyone else? I need some opinions.

The run was a live run hosted at the STA Fale by Sassygirl. The live hare was Swinger who was apparently caught on the run. Your assistant trainee scribe had only arrived straight from the airport and missed the run, but apparently it was a leisurely affair along the sea-wall.
Mr. Whippy stepped in as GM for the hash circle, and after checking that there were no new boots, turned on the re-threads. Dawn Raid, Kamikaze, Bits and Pieces, and Poumuli all had too lame excuses and were given large ones. The GM's Exuberant Hashers Awards went to SOTB, Crash Bandicoot, Lewinsky and Underrated for post-hash activities at HQ1. A Hash Hero of the Week Award went to Michael who had apparently rescued a damsel in distress.
As he was looking for volunteers for the acting GM for the hash circle, Mr. Whippy was met with obstinate refusals, so the GM's Draft Dodger Awards went to Poumuli, Snake and Underrated. The GM also awarded Female Driver Awards to Sassygirl, Ring Ring and Fang, simply because, er, they are female drivers. Kamikaze received the Flip Flop Award for consistently turning up in, er, flip flops. Snake received a Kamikaze Award for some reason.
In honour of those who show up early for hash even when the venue had changes, the Early Bird Award went to Emma and Will. The hash has many skilled yachtsmen, and the GM paid tribute to the Captain of the Week – Bits and Pieces. Walking Eagle quickly picked up the I Can't Help Leaning Against This Table Award. Fashionably Late Awards went to Lewinsky, BB and Crash Bandicoot.
The GM opened for nominations, so Poumuli requested a Poumuli Road Award for Dawn Raid. This backfired into a Not Inviting Hash To Your Birthday Award for Poumuli. In quick succession Swinger got one for leaning, Ray Charles for having a new red car.
A Vampire Award was called for to our visiting Canadian Suzanne for organizing a blood donation day, which was doubled due to the media exposure and which went down at the usual speed of light.
Poumuli called on Sassygirl for her extensive tourism campaigning which has now extended to the branding of a Sassy Red Beer in NZ. SOTB called Crash Bandicoot for a Smelly Cup Award (not sure here, but don't really want to know). Sassygirl awarded the Literacy Award to Ring Ring for not reading the blog. She also asked the rhetorical question – who brings cake to hash – which then was awarded to Suzanne. A Best Dressed Award was dreamed up by Lewinsky and handed to BB, Ray Charles and Heather (for a Little Red Riding Hood outfit). Sassygirl called for the Upholstery Award to be given to Lewinsky and Crash Bandicoot for the success of their new venture. On a roll, she pointed out that FBI had no down-downs and needed one, Snake and SOTB for letting a live hare go, and Swinger for hugging on the trail.
The host and the hare – Sassygirl and Swinger – took their customary awards, closely followed by a late Advertising call from Lewisnky aimed at SOTB. He was wearing a Guinness shirt (Tall, Dark and Handsome), and there was some dispute as to what was being conveyed here, but consensus ruled and SOTB was penitent. A further late call went on FBI for the Passionate Manu Samoa Award for his behaviour during the recent Samoa-NZ rugby game.
Next run will be hosted by Crown of Thorns and Seema at Seema's place in Siusega, and not in Vaola as earlier stated.
On On.

Anna Tims combines careers as a journalist, mother-of-two and vicar's wife.

The Curse of the Road
My efforts, however, unravel on the road. 'Bugger!" said my then two-year-old when she grasped the wheel of her new Little Tike car. I erupted. 'I have to say it,' she replied reasonably. 'I'm driving!'
White Van Man, advancing mercilessly down a narrow side streets, provokes from me adjectives that would make a docker blush. Three-lane roundabouts, unexpected filter lanes and anything involving the London North Circular turn me loud and foul and empurpled. My mother friends, contrastingly, sing along serenely behind the wheel to High School Musical and diffuse back-seat battles while negotiating three-point turns.
Maybe it's a testosterone thing. A visiting vicar relates how he was gingerly conveying his mother-in-law through a stressful conurbation. 'That was a tricky round-about!' she remarked. 'That's the f***g round-about,' piped an infant voice from the back.
So far my children respect the irrational schism between Car Mummy and Kitchen Mummy and do not mine my vehicular vocabulary for domestic use. They regard it, rather, as a necessary part of driving.
Playground insults, banned by school staff, have far more resonance in childish minds. 'You f***g idiot!' rages my brother when an Audi cuts him up. 'Daddy!' says my niece. 'It's very, very rude to say 'idiot'!'

I have a mouth like a washer woman on a Monday morning, and my kids will ofton say ... Mommy you need your mouth washing out with soap.
I have to agree with them, and thank God they have never repeated anything I say, as far as I know.
Funny how you can say 'Tchaikovsky' or 'Schopenhauer' until you're blue in the face and not a flicker, but say 'bugger' once and it's permanently wedged in the five-year-old vocabulary.ReplyDelete

My husband, usually so easy-going and swear-hating(if I swear he tells me to stop "effing and jeffing" - he's only 31 by the way) turns into a foul-mouthed grump as soon as he gets behind the wheel. My 17 month old announced a new word the other day. It begins with f and ends with k. I blame the roadrage.ReplyDelete

I am a Primary School teacher in a lovely little C of E school, and if I used a fraction of the fruity language that I reserve in the car for white van men, people on mobile phones negotiating busy junctions, non-residents clogging up parking spaces on my street etc. then I'd have lost my job years ago! My husband calls me the Tourettes Teacher because of my lexicon of swear words. Thankfully, I cycle most of the time which generally maintains a sense of equilibrium and calm!ReplyDelete

Women inmates protest
Female inmates have been giving authorities a taste of 'Flower Power' at west Delhi's Tihar Jail since Wednesday.india Updated: Oct 08, 2010 02:25 IST
Female inmates have been giving authorities a taste of 'Flower Power' at west Delhi's Tihar Jail since Wednesday.
Armed with a written petition and incensed at the long-term pendancy of their cases in various courts, more than 40 inmates of the central Jail's cell number six located in Hari Nagar that houses its entire female population have been on strike since Wednesday afternoon.
"It was a mixed population consisting of both Indian and foreign prisoners led by female inmates of African descent. Most of them are serving time under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act," said a senior Tihar Jail official.
Sources said that the inmates, who were allowed to exit cell number six for a routine manual labour drill at 1 p.m., requested to communicate with the prison authorities after they came out instead of proceeding to the work area like usual.
Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram had visited the facility on September 23.
"When refused their request, they went to the lawns opposite the cell block and squatted on it. The inmates stayed there for hours, refusing to eat or drink. Some of them under medical treatment even refused to take their medication," sources said.
According to prison authorities, the demonstration that had been organized by just 4 per cent of the prison's entire inmate population of an estimated 12,000 people lasted for about 24 hours and was a peaceful one.
"Refusing food and water, the inmates sat quietly on the lawn — unmoved by jeers from their male counterparts and requests of returning to 'normalcy' from prison staff. Anyone trying to reason with them was given the same answer — 'we just want to chat with the boss for five minutes'," the source said.
Their wish was finally granted on Thursday afternoon.
"We received a written petition from the inmates. They are despondent because their cases are yet to be resolved and
keep getting transferred from one court to the other," said Sunil Gupta, Legal Officer, Tihar Jail.
He said a senior advocate from the Supreme Court had been engaged to look into their individual complaints.

She woke me up, at least a little, the night she bitch slapped me.
"What promise are you going to make to me? What can you tell me you're doing? You need to do something tomorrow. I want action. I want to know what you're doing."
She was tough. She was downright mean. She needed to be.
The night was dark and the air was cool and there we were, on the steps together.
And she hugged me as I cried.
"It's harder than you think."
"No, it's not. You've lost your mind."
"I know."
"You've lost your self respect. It's on the ground somewhere. Lean over. Pick it up off the steps."
"I don't know what to do."
"Get control of your life. You've lost all control. You're a smart woman. You are not being smart right now."
"I know."
"What are you going to do?"
"I don't know."

Most Americans are (understandably) focused on the unmitigated disaster otherwise known as Obamacare. But there's another moronic mess that's equally (if not more) at fault for holding back the economic recovery: The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
As you know, a viable banking sector is vital if we want to see sustained economic recovery.

To quickly grow the economy, businesses need capital. So, two years after the great liquidity crisis of 2008, Congress passed the bill to fix the problems they had created.
But now, three years after Barack Obama signed the bill, 60% of the Dodd-Frank implementation rules still haven't been written.
TRENDING: Report: Journalist Fired for 'Inflammatory' Reaction to Covington Kids
Surprising? Not at all… Embarrassing? Hell yes!It shows that Congress had zero understanding about how these laws would be enforced when they rubber-stamped the 2,300-page legislation.
And thanks to their stupidity, none of the problems Dodd-Frank was intended to solve have been fixed.

The Volker Rule is the perfect example.
Banks Should Get Back to Their Roots
The Volker Rule was central to Dodd-Frank. It was supposed to restrict U.S. banks from making certain speculative bets in their own trading accounts. In other words, it would ban proprietary trading by banks with government-insured deposits.
Makes sense, right?
After all, banks should be conservative institutions that are primarily meant to lend money to businesses and individuals. So securities firms that engage in speculative trading shouldn't be housed inside institutions that hold government-insured deposits.

Of course, the Volker Rule hasn't been implemented.
U.S. banks have only gotten bigger and – since the speculative trading hasn't been curtailed – riskier.
Case in point: the so-called "London Whale" trading scandal at JP Morgan (JPM). In a matter of days, large bets by a single trader culminated in over $2 billion in losses.
Indeed, America still has banks that are "too big to fail." And taxpayers are assuming the risks these banks take on in the securities and derivatives markets.

Steer Clear of Risky Banks
In the end, the only thing that'll make investment firms smaller are rules that clearly indicate that unsecured creditors are at risk and will not be bailed out.
Deposits in a bank are unsecured; but because of insurance, no depositor takes the time to analyze the likelihood of getting repaid. They all believe the government will step in and bail them out, regardless of how much money their particular bank may lose.
But the dirty secret is that deposit insurance is running thin. As a result, the FDIC likely won't have enough money to bail everyone out the next time a big crisis hits.

This is essentially what happened in Cyprus. And depositors ended up taking the loss.
Bottom line: Don't be naïve. The government won't be able to step in and bail you out during the next banking crisis. Think for yourself, and put your money in banks that don't take these huge risks.

Yay! Finally, the dots are on the wall! :) I actually just got the valance today too. That will be going up shortly...
So - updates. We are at 31.5 weeks. I am going every other week to the Doc now. Needless to say, stepping on the scale every other week is tending to be a scary occurrence. I SWEAR that thing is incorrect. Blah. Baby/belly is measuring right on. I haven't take a picture of myself since the last post. I am not sure if one is in my future... :)
I know that I meant to includes LOTS of info for you all - I am also aware that my mind has left me...I will post again soon.
We are trying to get Cal used to all of this Baby stuff. She is getting accustomed to the music coming from the bassinet, she has sniffed the onesies over and over and over and - I believe that she is going to be a pretty good watch dog...

If God is sovereign – and in control – why work and pray?
To show the relationship between "prayer" and "work" – and the importance of both – Dwight L Moody once said, "We pray like it is all up to God; we work like it is all up to us."
Here's how I think we should understand Moody.
Simply: Since God is in control, our prayer-directed work will actually make a difference.
Work without prayer is like taking a butter knife to a gun fight.
Because God's In Charge, Our Work and Prayer Actually Matter
If God is sovereign – and in control – why work and pray?

The Texas Medical Center's Health Museum is one of 19 museums in the Houston Museum District. (Photo: Getty Images)
You know the stereotype: 10-gallon cowboy hats and oil spewing from the ground. Well, the people of Houston want you to know the real Houston, where you're more likely to unearth a place where global cultures intersect. On the hunt for genre-bending art with a side of world-class cuisine? Head to Houston's walkable Museum District to explore its 19 galleries and exhibitions. Try these four museums to start.
Achieve Menilionaire Status
The Menil philosophy is all about letting art come to you and not allowing intrusive media to guide your perception. The main gallery is home to a permanent collection of contemporary works from international such all-stars as Basquiat and Magritte. Pieces from the Byzantine and Medieval eras and the arts of Africa pack historical punch.
Insider tip: The Menil is open Wednesday – Sunday; admission is always free. Waiting in line at Breakfast Klub for chicken and waffles is a Houston rite of passage. The Menil opens at 11 a.m., so if you're at the classic soul-food joint by 9 a.m., you're on track.
Here's to Your Health
In the heart of Houston, 21 hospitals and numerous research and education facilities are devoted to putting the kibosh on everything from cancer to the common cold. The Texas Medical Center is the largest complex of its kind in the world, so it stands to reason that their Health Museum is more than just a "Magic School Bus" ride through cartoon anatomy. Exhibits take you into a mock cellular research lab, and brain-teaser stations test cognitive prowess.
Insider tip: Admission is free Thursdays, 2-7 p.m. Nothing caps off learning about cardiovascular health like an oyster BLT. Or maybe it's more of a watermelon arugula salad kind of day. Either way, Lucille's has you covered.
There Was a Buffalo Soldier…
Houston's Buffalo Soldier National Museum not only celebrates the culture and resolve of African Americans, it portrays the esprit de corps of the legendary 10th regiment of the U.S. Army. There are fascinating artifacts throughout, including an exhibit on African-American astronauts: This is Space City, after all.
Free Thursday admission, 1-5 p.m. Fresh, hand-held Tex-Mex is the way to go on a Museum District walkabout. Picadillo tacos from aptly named Tacos A Go Go score, and their jalapeño margarita kicks you into high gear.
Find the Far East in the Lone Star State
Houston is the most ethnically diverse city in the nation. The Asia Society Texas Center recognizes the challenge in trying to bring you the story of dozens of individual Asian cultures, but their tranquil sculpture garden and music programs provide both classical and contemporary insight.
Insider tip: Free admission is always a plus. Circle back and eat at places you drive by without noticing at first. Kam's dishes out genuine Chinese, but the off-menu and unabashedly Americanized egg-foo-young is Clutch City comfort.

Day 2: Didn't take me long this morning to find my thing to be thankful for! I was grumpy because my 9-year-old brought the only stick of deoderant with her on an overnight. I discovered it this morning, after searching for too long and in a rush to get to work. I had to stop at Walgreen's to buy some more, and as I was paying, the cashier said, "wait a minute, let me see if you can use this coupon now." It was a $3 off coupon for the $3.96 stick of deoderant. Now THAT made my day, and I let the cashier know it! Thankful for the little things... the small things that can turn your whole day around.
Day 3: Today I am thankful for friends both old and older, the man behind me in line who was able to produce a penny faster than I was, and the complete understanding of generosity with both giving and receiving.
Day 4: Today I'm thankful for my Dad, who celebrated another birthday. I'm thankful for long lunches and pretty dresses, connections with friends from long ago and family with which it took too long to begin to connect. I'm thankful for the choices I'm allowing myself to make, for myself and my children. I'm thankful that I have so much to be thankful for.
Day 5: Today I'm thankful that the day is almost over. Thankful that I start tomorrow with a clean slate and a fresh start. Thankful that it's okay to not always be perfect or right and that I always have the opportunity to strive to be better.
Day 6: Today I am thankful for the house that I am continuing to make my home.
Day 7: Today I am thankful for strength and honesty. And I'm thankful for strength *in* honesty. Actually, I think I'm praying FOR strength in honesty.

Day 14: today I'm thankful for my girls' love for school and learning, and their good grades that reflect it.
|Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.
Day 15: Today I am thankful that when I need it, I allow myself to cry. And thankful that I can then move on.
I never met a bitter person who was thankful. Or a thankful person who was bitter

Day 16: Today I am thankful for Daniell. My pal and confidant. "Everyone hears what you say. Friends listen to what you say. Best friends listen to what you don't say."
Day 17: today I am thankful for the super long nap from which I just awoke. ((Stretch))
Day 18: Today I am thankful for the beautiful days I'm enjoying during the walks I take during my work breaks. I'm also thankful for loud disco music and the ability to dance in my head.

Day 20: Squeeeeeee! Today I am SO THANKFUL that my employer had 18 voucher tickets for the Winston-Salem Symphony Christmas Spectacular AND vouchers for any regular season performance. I was able to snag three of each and I get to bring the girls to the symphony for the very first time. I am soooo excited!
Day 21: Today I am thankful for Karla, whose whole family is pretty darn amazing. Every one of them has gone out of their way to help me out of a bind this week and I am so appreciative.
Day 22: Today I am thankful for the dinner the girls cooked for me with the sitter and the flowers that were on the table. I'm thankful that I didn't fall once when I went rollerskating tonight. And I'm thankful that I'm off this weekend and tomorrow is a sleep in day.
Day 23: Today I'm thankful to have the love of my children, each and every day. They are unconditional and so free with expressing it. I am truly blessed.
Day 24: Today I'm thankful that my month long stint with children's Sunday school has ended and I can again join my ladies upstairs. And I'm thankful for my hot cup of tea.

Day 29: I have had so much to be thankful for this month, it's almost overwhelming.
December 1: I realized late last night (very early this morning) that I did not list a Thankful November for Day 30. I think that is perfectly fine because on Day 29 I proclaimed that I had so much to be thankful for it was almost overwhelming, and how can I top that?! Besides, the 29th is a special day for us -- I was born on the 29th of March, Elizabeth was born the 29th of August and Marilyn was born the 29th of July -- yes, really! I continue to be thankful each and every day. Happy December!
If you did your own Thankful November, please include a link in the comments. I would love to see what other's are thankful for, both big and small.
May you have an abundance of blessings!

By Nhial Bol Aken, Juba, South Sudan
Juba 27, 2017 (SSB) — Some disgruntled politicians, friends and some fellow citizens have been bothering me in the last few days asking me about some questions of what made Alfred Taban defected to SPLM- IO. Repeatedly I have been telling them that the decision is made and Taban is free to decide for himself what he thinks is right for him.
However, the aim of writing this article is to caution fellow citizens not to follow some of us to where we wanted to go because most of us who influenced the processes have reached a limitation of questioning God why He is leaving us alive at the times of allowing others to pass away. I assumed my former colleague has reached his limit to questioning some issues as a matter of his concern.
I also want to argue that Taban doesn't want to be another Robert Mugabe of the media. He wants to show a good example of retirement from being a beautiful young girl to a pimp because the practices continue in a different form. I called him that his decision is his right and wished him the best of luck.
As one of Taban's oldest friends, I know he will not stand the silent prison (parliament) he has been appointed to. He may soon realize that he is a silent prisoner and he may decide to resign or just stay at home like many MPs I know do. From my experience of the situation, my friend Taban will suffer from the frustration of ethnicization of the SPLM in general and IO politics in particular.
His going to IO will never bring anything to this country because of dramatic change invented by the ruling elites since 2005. The general trend is defecting from SPLM to SPLM IO but what We need is to redefine the nature of South Sudan politics especially to reshape the relationship between the state and the society. We need to redefine it and see to it that people's sovereignty is manifest in the real constitution of our country.
Crossing here or there will never yield fruits. South Sudanese need to address the issue of diversity in order to accommodate the sense of diverse peoples living in our country. We were living in communal harmony under the external colonialism but those who took power following our independence decided to take measures to silence the dissident voices and this resulted into misrepresentation which is being challenged here and there.
What went wrong following our independence is the ethnicization of politics and this will soon frustrate Taban as he moves to rediscover himself. Ethnicization which is in the making has already culminated in violence, struggle for resources and power of the state because ethnic tensions are growing and if not quickly arrested this will threaten the peaceful existence of our country.
The very fact of the past years of the struggle will soon be in the headlines of the media, conferences. In view of the current events, ethnicity formation which is allowed has become one of the striking challenges featuring the future of this country.
I am of the view that Taban and the group he joined will get it as a difficult task to adequately manage the ethnicity they initiated even on paper and not to talk about ethnicity management in the political arena.
As people of one destiny, there is a way of avoiding to address the issues related to ethnicization of politics because it has increased ethnic competition as such it has added fuel to misrepresentation about the ethnic groups.
There is a strong notion within society that one position in the political power should go to a particular tribe or else that particular tribe will never declare affliction. This policy has created shifting the prevailing balance of power especially among the leading and dominant tribes who are fighting over strategic resources.
One dominant tribe keeps on arguing that they liberated us and they must enjoy, such perception is seen as injustice and is directly telling us that we are heading in the wrong direction of the past when we used to be called Sudanese.
For record purpose, take it that way, the past affects, the present and the future as well. Let us accept the reality that there is the sense of social inequalities today and its results from ethnicization of the state.
I hope that Taban will keep asking questions like when will the redefinition of our country start because what some of us see now is moving to be a complex situation. Since there is no explanation to the root cause of the current situation, we should expect our tribes to drive us to ashes.
The mistake we made is that we combine politics with resources because ethnicization politics combined notions of culture to the process of political mobilization, where is the nation here?
Anyhow, whatever it takes, ethnicization will land this country into a demand for a quota system within the institutions if this nation is to be prevented from disintegration.
