Autumn statement as-it-happened
09:55 - Hello and welcome to the blog for people who don't understand economics. I'll be bringing you live coverage of the autumn statement today with the unfortunate caveat that economics is like a murderous foreign language to me. I barely understand any of it. It took me two and a half years to understand what the 'paradox of thrift' was. If it wasn't for the fact that every single economic event since May 2010 had affirmed it, it might have been longer. My economic ignorance is no different to any of the other political journalists who pretend to be analysts once or twice a year, of course. They don't understand any of this stuff either. The only difference is I will be honest with you, and you will be able to watch me squirm and sweat as I frantically try to assess what the hell is happening. It's like the movie Hostel, but with numbers and a laptop. I'll be with you throughout the day, including PMQs, the autumn statement, Ed Ball's reply and the political fallout. In the build up to midday I'll bring you the best from the web for your reading pleasure. By 'best of the web' I mean any article which helped me understand what's going on and which may help you too.
10:11 - For something approximating economic analysis have a read of Alex Stevenson's feature on Osborne's straightjacket, where he unhelpfully observes that we are all in considerable trouble. You can also hear his interview with Ed Balls here.
10:19 - I usually like Stephanie Flanders at the BBC. She ruins government economic policy like someone unfussily undoing a ball of string. Today she is dressed as the grim reaper, imparting appalling news. "After two and a half years of austerity, the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) is likely to say that the fiscal hole that Mr Osborne promised to eliminate in five years, back in May 2010, is actually bigger now than it was then," she writes. "On his own chosen measure, we will probably find out today that the chancellor has literally nothing to show for nearly three years of austerity."
10:32 - I, like you and everyone you know, don't like Osborne. But it's hard not feel a tinge of sympathy for him. Every headline is a condemnation. This is laughable, because even with my scant economic knowledge and misspent youth I remember that in 2010 most of these newspapers and analysts were supporting his policies to the hilt. Even today, they offer few alternatives, because of course anything other than ceaseless austerity is Communism. Anyway, read 'em and weep chancellor. The Indie says Osborne's going to fire 10,000 civil servants to direct towards building projects like building more free schools. The Statesman says Osborne is cutting the NHS, not the deficit, in direct contradiction to the Tories' pre-election slogan. "In response to a complaint from the shadow health secretary, Andy Burnham, chair of the UK Statistics Authority Andrew Dilnot concludes that, contrary to recent Conservative statements, 'expenditure on the NHS in real terms was lower in 2011-12 than it was in 2009-10'." Even ConHome's Tim Montgomerie seems a little worried. "If Osborne looks back, however, over his two-and-a-half years as chancellor my guess is that his biggest regret will not be bruising encounters with colleagues but the lack of a grand growth strategy from day one," he writes. "And ConHome says this without the benefit of hindsight. We've always backed deficit reduction but have long worried about a lack of growth strategy."
11:07 - OK. Here's the lowdown, made palatable, like the coating on a headache pill: 1) The Osborne-created Office of Budget Responsibility (OBR) will downgrade growth forecasts, which will see the chancellor miss his two key targets. Target one is seeing total government debt fall as a share of GDP by 2015-16. Target two is the five year austerity period. The chancellor didn't say when that would start, so he keeps moving it forward. Today he will probably say it starts now, so in reality he's announcing eight years of austerity.
11:08 - 2) The chancellor might beef up the tax rises because he knows he can't cut much more. The balance is currently 96% cuts for just 4% tax rises, but it'll probably be 20:80 when he's done. Why can't he cut more? Because deep down there's an agreement the cuts are stifling growth. If not, why not crack on? But what do I know? So how will he do it? Chances are, he'll raid the nation's pensions. Osborne can get a cool £2bn by reducing the tax-exempt amount people can pay into their pension pots. That is good politics - it applies a bit of pain to the wealthy rather than just hammering the poor. Or he could cut the level of pension tax relief high earners can claim. What's the downside? Well for a start he's hitting his own supporters. Secondly, it discourages a savings attitude.
11:18 - 3) Interestingly, there could be movement on the mansion tax. Well, the mini-mansion tax. Osborne is apparently open to a new holding charge on properties valued over £2m. That would take some of the heat off the housing market in London, most of it the result of the wealthy from Europe buying up property.
11:21 - 4) Earlier this week, the government seized on a select committee report into Starbucks and Amazon and the like to promote its new funding for HMRC tax-evasion detectives extraordinaires. As I typed that news broke that Starbucks reached a deal with the government over a new level of corporation tax. Alright for some. Try doing that next time you need to pay your income tax. Anyway, there'll be another £154m of funding for HMRC with the expectation that that will pay itself back.
11:29 - 5) What else have we got? The Lib Dems appear to have held Osborne to a deal on welfare. Osborne still plans to cut the welfare bill by another £10bn by 2016, but he won't be able to freeze welfare payments. Instead, there'll probably be a below-inflation rise of about 1%. Fuel duty rises will probably be delayed (at least according to the Sun), so the 3p rise tabled for January probably won't happen.
11:30 - 6) Finally – Osborne is pushing ahead with his pro-gas energy policy, despite complaints from the Lib Dems. Thirty new gas power stations will likely be announced today. For more on the backroom negotiations which led to that read my feature. We're half an hour from PMQs kick-off.
11:48 - Theresa Villiers (Northern Ireland secretary, seemingly brought back from the dead) is batting away the uniquely difficult challenges of Northern Ireland questions. Nigel Dodds typifies these challenges by including the phrase "those of us who have had assassination attempts" in his question. You don't envy Villiers, but by Christ she looks like she's feeling the strain. Her skin has gone past white into transparent.
11:50 - OK, we're a few minutes away now. Clegg is in, looking surprisingly smug. The bags under Villiers' eyes seem to be enlarging by the minute.
12:00 - Cameron is in. He's wearing a red tie, by jove. Clegg has a blue tie. This means nothing, but there's a subculture of analysing political leaders' tie choices and I wouldn't like to let the side down.
12:02 - And we're off. Danny Alexander, chief secretary to the Treasury, is on the front bench as is Osborne.
12:03 - Julian Lewis (Con, pre-pubescent voice) asks what sanctions to expect if Al-Qaida return after the allies pull out. This debate is so far removed from the reality on the ground they might as well all act out The Sound of Music.
12:05 - Hilarious. In his usual preamble of meetings with ministerial colleagues and others, Cameron says 'duties in my house' instead of 'duties in this House'. The Commons falls around laughing. Osborne pulls a surprised, naughty smile.
12:06 - Miliband is up. Miliband goes in on that NHS statistics misuse. What's today's excuse for the reality of falling investment in the NHS. Cameron is prepared, He says the head of the Office of National Statistics backs him. The chair of the Statistics Authority says the opposite, Miliband argues. "Instead of his usual bluster, why doesn't he change the record?" Cameron won't move. He says there's an increase in every year of this parliament.
12:09 - "Let me give him one more opportunity. He made a solemn promise to the British people. He failed to meet the promise. Come on. Why don't you just admit it." That was Miliband, obviously. Cameron retorts by quoting Burnham in the Statesman. He admits they're not freezing it, they're increasing it. It seems problematic for Burnham, who is shaking his head hard. Miliband seems to be losing this and he really shouldn't be.
12:11 - Miliband moves on. That wasn't good. He wants to go onto income tax cuts for the top rate. "I'm not surprised he wants to get off health. That was the biggest own goal I think I've ever seen." Cameron says the top rate of tax will be higher in every year than it was when Miliband was in the Treasury. Miliband answers his own question, lead saying £107,000 will be saved by the richest. "It's no good the chancellor shouting from a sedentary position. He went along with it." Now Miliband asks why Osborne hasn't balanced the books. Miliband is all over the place here, but failing to land a blow. Now he's in Ball's territory. What's the point of asking these questions now, just before the autumn statement?
12:14 - "How on earth can you deal with a borrowing problem by pledging to borrow more?" Cameron asks. Miliband goes back to the 50p answer. he says he's suggesting the answer to the problem of tax avoidance is to give people a tax cut. Good argument, but it's badly made. "We all remember the posters with his airbrushed face saying 'I'll cut the deficit not the NHS'"," Miliband says. He's done the opposite. Cameron gives a lukewarm answer relying on his usual rhetoric against Labour.
12:16 - Well that was dreadful for Miliband. It doesn't matter today, there will be no coverage, because of the autumn statement dominating everything. But that was bad. I'd put that at Cameron: 2 Miliband: 0.
12:18 - Jim Shannon (DUP, aggressive Michael Fish) wants to know something about Northern Ireland which I didn't understand. Cameron's answer might as well be in ancient Greek. Eleanor Laing (Tory, not to be underestimated) wants confirmation on the changes to rules of succession by gender. Margaret Hodge (Labour, tax avoidance bulldog) says Starbucks are caving in. "Clearly naming and shaming works," she says. Will the PM commit to publishing the names of those companies found by HMRC to have avoided paying their fair share of tax. Cameron says he welcomes her initiative on it. He says he's committed to anything which gets it happening.
12:24 - Robert Buckland (Tory, engorged Harry Potter) wants joined up services for children and problem families. Sheila Gilmore (Lab, Eastenders character) attacks Osborne before he stands up, rather aimlessly. Just as Miliband got his spanking, by the way, it appears Labour is building a serious poll lead. Today's YouGov poll for the Sun puts Labour 14% above the Tories.
12:27 - Bernard Jenkins (Con, English villain in an 80's Hollywood thriller) talks about special schools in a way that borders on creepy. This is a uniquely boring PMQs. It's so dull it might even make the autumn statement seem exciting.
12:31 - Cameron says we've recovered £4bn in tax revenue on transfer payments. Peter Bone keeps on standing up. Please don't let the Speaker ask him. All he ever does is bang on about his wife or what happens if Cameron dies. Bercow is still granting questions even though it's past 12:33.
12:34 - Last but not least. Ann Clwyd (Lab, backbencher) starts nearly crying as she speaks of nurses who fail to show care and compassion to patients. That was hugely moving. Her husband suffered terrible care. Cameron answers at his best. Compassionate, firm, moderate, balanced.
12:36 - And Osborne's up.
12:36 - "It's taking time but the British economy is healing," Osborne starts and already the laughter begins. Labour mocks as one. The chancellor looks very alone.
12:38 - Osborne sounds less confident than he used to. He insists investment is "flowing into UK gilts". Two years ago we were in the danger zone, now we are a safe haven. This is almost precisely the same as the comments he made a year and a half ago. "Today, we reaffirm our commitment to reducing the deficit," he says, rolling out into 2017/18. He equips Britain by switching from current spending to capital investment.
12:40 - OK, here's the OBR bit. This is crucial.
12:41 - "The weaker than expected growth can be accounted for by over-optimism regarding net trade" the OBR say. That's useful for Osborne as he can say it's all the fault of the eurozone. "These problems will constrain growth for years to come," he reads. OBR forecast the economy will grow by: 1.2% next year. Then 2.0% in 2014; 2.3% in 2015; 2.7% in 2016 and 2.8% in 2017.
12:43- Osborne says the economy is therefore recovering more quickly than many of our neighbours. Apparently they believe we will grow quicker than Germany or France next year. Interesting test. Germany and France, being embedded deeper in the eurozone, are a counter-argument to Tory claims that the eurocrisis is to blame for everything. The OBR clearly doesn't believe that will always be the case.
12:44 - Osborne praises his own employment policies and says we have more people in work than in the eurozone or the US. Osborne is painting a very pretty picture. Vince Cable looks up to heaven, a tortured look on his face.
12:46 - The deficit was at 11.2% when the coalition came to power. Apparently it is still forecast to fall."It will continue to fall each and every year," Osborne insists. That's reliant on the 4G spectrum sell-off. Last year the deficit was 7.9%, this year 6.9%. It will fall to 6.1% next year 5.2%, then 4.2%. Osborne mentions that £70bn from Northern Rock and Bradford and Bingley have gone on the books, which shuts up Labour somewhat. Actually, Labour has gone fairly quiet.
12:50 - "Instead of three years to get our debt falling it's going to take more," Osborne says. He admits he will miss target of debt falling as percentage of GDP by one year. He sounds victorious, but remember that under these forecasts he will have a £73bn deficit at the time of the next election, rather than the £0 he promised. Osborne announced there are no new tax rises in this autumn statement. Tax rises are offset by tax cuts elsewhere.
12:53 - You will struggle to find a greater chasm between the tone of a speaker and the reality of what he is saying. I'm not convinced this is the wisest course. It makes Osborne appear blind. "This government has shown it is possible to return sanity to our public finances while improving services," he says. he will publish reports on market-facing pay and will implement it. The national pay arrangements in the health service and prisons will stay. But schools are set to get more freedom to set oay in line with performance.
12:56 - That was seriously big news. That's the end of national pay bargaining for teachers. The unions will spit blood. Osborne confirms we will stick to the 0.7% on international development, although the budget will be adjusted to reflect the new forecast.
12:58 - The fact this statement is fiscally neutral means we are very much still on Plan A. This is highly political tinkering. Clegg has taken on a supremely Zen look, like George Young on a good day. Perhaps he's past it. It's all just noise for him now.
12:59 - There'll be a Northern Line extension to Battersea power station - Boris will like that. So will the Yanks. There's a new US Embassy opening nearby in 2017. Osborne takes some water. His throat is going already.
13:01 - And now comes the bad news. Cuts to welfare on the way. But now it's aggressive tax avoidance. He says the government has taken more action than any before it. Prosecutions for evasion are up 80%.
13:03 - Osborne says he's closing hundreds of millions of tax loopholes with immediate effect. HMRC won't have it's budget cut - it will get extra spending. "We want a competitive corporate tax system but we expect those corporate taxes to be paid," he says. He thinks he can win an extra £2bn through these measures. Osborne once again justifies his 50p tax cut. Osborne glances up at the Labour benches with real fire in his eyes. "We won't introduce a new tax on property" - he says. it would be intrusive and expensive. Miliband and Balls laugh at him and Clegg. Here comes the pensions announcement. Tax relief on pensions to fall from£ 50k to £40k a year. That's £1bn from big pension pot. The lifetime limit will be reduced to £1.25m. Osborne says he will make the 1% pay its fair share. I think that's the first time he's used the phrase.
13:09 - Speaking on 1%, benefits will rise by 1%, as predicted, just like public sector pay. That's below inflation so it's a real terms cut. That's for three years by the way. A big, big move. On benefits, it applies to JSA, ESA and Income Support.
13:12 - Interesting. Osborne sets a political trap. He says he'll need a welfare uprating bill to enforce changes. The Tories love it. They feel they're on the public's side on this issue, so will enjoy trying to get Labour on the 'wrong' side.
13:13 - It seems Osborne's £10bn savings from welfare, have been dropped to about £3.7bn. More money is being put into the Regional Growth Fund, even though it's generally considered to be ineffective. Osborne seems to back the core of Michael Heseltine's plan to devolve much spending on business, transport and skills etc to local regions.
13:16 - "I am going to increase by tenfold the Annual Investment Allowance in plant and machinery. Instead of £25,000 worth of investment being eligible for 100% relief, £250,000 worth of investment will now qualify."
13:18 - Again Osborne cuts corporation tax. SO that banks don't get the benefit their levy goes up. This is a strange move given the pledge on tax avoidance. Osborne says he knows how hard austerity is for families and a shout of anger comes from a Labour MP. "No you don't."
13:20 - Osborne cancels the fuel tax rise altogether instead of delaying it. No increases on petrol taxes for two and half years now. The Sun will be ecstatic.
13:21 - Anyone with a car and a job is doing well out of this. If you don't have those things it's not so good. The personal tax allowance is rising to £9,440 in April, £235 more than had been planned. "Today we've helped working people," Osborne pronounces loudly. "The public know there are no miracle cures." He is winding up now. Balls is set to strike.
13:23 - "Our economy this year is contracting. Government borrowing revised up every single year. The deficit is not rising," he stutters. Tories laugh. Then he gets it right. They shouldn't laugh, Balls has a minor stutter. e attacks a "three billion welfare handout to the people who need it least. Let me speak out the full facts to the House. They should listen they might learn something."
13:25 - Our economy has flat lined since the spending review in 2010. Chancellor's achieved 0.6% growth compared to 3.6% in Germany. "Falling behind in the global race," he shouts. "Growth is being downgraded this year, the year after, the year after and the year after that too."
13:27 - Balls seems ever so slightly nervous. Possibly that early problem put him off his game a bit. Ed Miliband looks deeply strange beside him, pulling some very odd faces. "There is more borrowing this year, next year and the year after," Balls says. "He will look in detail when we get the figures because the chancellor failed to give us the cash figures."
13:28 - A rowdy Commons is making it difficult for Balls to plough through.
13:30 - On course? Not wavering? He's not wavering, he's drowning." That was his first joke. This is a really bad moment for Labour. They should be tearing the coalition apart but they're seriously struggling. The content is strong, because the figures are unanswerable, but Balls doesn't have his mojo. Bercow demands a Tory MP calm himself: "Take a pill if necessary. Take up yoga."
13:32 - What happened to expansionary fiscal contraction? Balls asks. I have literally no idea what that means. Sounds like it's not working though. Balls says the scrapping of the fuel duty rise was done "On Labour's advice" even though they voted against it. The Tories laugh hatefully. Labour is silent. Labour looks sullen and defeated. There's no energy from the opposition benches, There's barely any anger even. They seem desperately lethargic.
13:35 - A better period for Balls as he hammers on the top rate tax cut. Cameron looks concerned, Osborne starts checking his noted. Miliband nods and whispers "exactly". Balls says the welfare system should be reformed. They support a fair benefit cap, with a high London level. Here comes the 'but'. The bill is forecast to be higher now. "Welfare to work," he says; "The clue is in the name. You can't have a successful welfare to work programme without the work."
13:39 - Much better from Balls as he cites the struggles faced by nurses given the tax cuts for the rich. "He's not just hitting those looking for work. The majority who lose from his cuts to tax credits are those in work."
13:40 - "It was all a con and the mask has slipped. This chancellor can't say we're all in this together without a smirk on his face". Much improved Balls performance, he's warming up, although there isn't much time left.
13:42 - Terrible section as Balls tries out a Nadine Dorries joke. "He's the chancellor can't someone get him out of here." Yeah I know. That's your majesty's opposition. That's it from him. Balls recovered a bit but it was poor, very poor. "There's only one person in this chamber who is drowning and that's the shadow chancellor. That was the worst reply to an autumn statement I've heard in this House."
13:44 - Osborne is able to continue to pretend that everything is fine and all his plans are working out. Remarkably, Osborne is sounding more reasonable here, despite the poverty of his situation. He starts listing 'impossible Labour positions'.
13:46 - "Only the people in the Brownite cabal" claim all the problems of the country come from 2010 onwards "The reason he has to maintain this completely incredible position is because if he admitted the last government was responsible, he would have to admit he was responsible for these problems." Very clever attack from Osborne. He says Miliband is trapped by having a shadow chancellor who was responsible for the mess in the first place. It's always effective to widen a potential division in your opponent and Osborne has succeeded, to some extent, in achieving that today.
13:48 - And with that, the debate goes to the Commons, with the chair of the Treasury committee starting the questions. David Miliband stands up. That's interesting. "At this time last year the chancellor told me not to worry about youth unemployment," he says. He confidently lists the problems facing the young unemployed. He asks a series of specific points on the work programme. "The right honourable gentleman has interesting and important things to say about youth work programmes. I have to say it was quite a good job advertisement for being shadow chancellor." David Miliband leans back in his seat in disgust, pulling a hatful face at Osborne, as if wiping gum off his shoes. Osborne pushed the Labour destabilisation goal a little too far there.
13:56 - Jon Denham lists the chancellor's achievements. Borrowing up, growth down etc. "In light of that record should he be looking quite so pleased with himself." Denham's approach was more successful than any of the Labour bods who have spoken so far.
14:02 - And with that, I'll bring the live blog to a close. We'll be getting you all the political reaction this afternoon, so you can keep track of how things are panning out for the chancellor. It's unlikely this will unravel in the same manner as his Budget, but you never know. The key news is that the picture is as appalling as we imagined, but Osborne managed to deal with the situation as well as could be expected - in presentational terms. He is in serious trouble, but you wouldn't have known it by the way he carried on today.
14:05 - How were my economics by the way? Not bad. No staggering inadequacies, although I'm still a little dodgy on this expansionary fiscal malarkey Balls was chuntering on about. See you next week for PMQs.

We have to go DERPer
I appreciate your patience, truly. While I've bouts of inactivity, something eventually stirs me. In this case, I've been talking with veterans of the old K'nex launcher community and we pondered different ideas together. I still had the core body of my BAWler lying around and I kept experimenting, trying to make an improved version of the DERP, if any of you remember seeing that from my Part 2 post on my Oodammo launchers. While I couldn't think up anything for a while and put the project on hold, I revisited earlier this week and figured I could share progress.
For those unfamiliar, the DERP was just a casual attempt at an Oodammo launcher with removable magazines, and I was surprised by how well it worked, but I didn't like it as much compared to my Oodassault 3. Its magazine was too goofy and the way it connected wasn't smooth enough for me. That said, remaking it now, I do like it as an alternative, I think it's fun to have a removable magazine option.
This time I designed the magazine and the trigger guard to allow you to easily slide it straight up into the launcher. It is roofed and has a band such that you can keep them loaded and ready to go without any other manipulations required. The roof doesn't interfere with the striker, so you can insert a magazine into the launcher without having the striker set.
I'm nearly done but I'm having a problem with a round getting dragged out behind the launched round, but I think I've a solution. Once it's working reliably, I'll get a video and instructions.

Teri Jo Felkel, owner, automotive repair technician, and smog technician, was born and raised in Bishop. One of her favorite classes in high school was auto shop, and she took the class all four years. During this time she rebuilt a 1968 vw squareback engine and was able to have her first car running by the time she graduated in 2000. On a roll (pun intended), she also took an intense basic automotive training course from Wyoming Technical Institute in Laramie Wyoming and graduated with a diploma in automotive technology.
She returned to her home town and continued her career path as an automotive technician in Mammoth Lakes. Mammoth lakes- aka the Subaru capitol of California, was where she gained 10+ years of experience repairing a LOT of Subarus, as well as many other makes and models. It was always Teri's dream to run her own repair shop, but she felt she needed to update and expand her training in the field. She went back to Wyo tech (this time to the Sacramento campus) and took an Advanced Diagnostics course that would get her a SMOG license. Teri excelled in this class- graduating at the top of her class with honors and receiving an 'outstanding student award'. Packed with knowledge she was able to again think of her dream and with the unconditional support of her family and now husband her dream came true.
TJ's Firing Line opened on April 1st 2013 at a space she rented on hwy 395. The shop has since moved and now is happily settled in the same building as Marsh's automotive. TJ's has been an absolute success, earning more and more respect and praise as time goes on. Please feel free to read on to see all of TJ's achievements and accolades as a female mechanic in a small town and to meet the rest of the crew at the firing line.
PS You are probably wondering just why TJ's shop is called the "firing line"- here it is. The Firing line is an automotive diagnostic term referring to the voltage it takes to jump the spark plug gap as displayed on scope, used for diagnosis many engine conditions and faults.

OK... So I got the magic bullet blender for Christmas! After seeing all the infomercials I was "super" excited to get it {use it}. I was mostly eager to make the Party Guacamole... I think they call it the 10 second guacamole {correct me if I'm wrong}. I bought all the ingredients, did everything exactly like they said... Even did the pulsing blends. Hmmmm I'm not to sure about this magic bullet.
Here's pre-blend.... Doesn't it look yummy! I do say so myself!
After about 10 to 15 minutes of blending, pulse blending & even stopping to using a spoon to blend everything... I got this. My husband liked it, but It was awful looking & tasted OK... Not my favorite. I could have done it by hand faster & so much better. Someone needs to save me & the magic bullet... & re-assure me that the magic blender is still good & great to use! Any good recipes to recommend that are fun & easy.... Hmmmm Magic what?

What No One Told Me When I Was Diagnosed With Breast Cancer
It is now a year since I was diagnosed with early breast cancer.
A year since my GP called me not ten minutes after I got home from having an ultrasound to tell me I needed a biopsy.
Eighteen months before this my sister was diagnosed with early breast cancer at 39 (no, it's not genetic – just really bad luck). I thought for sure she'd taken one for the team. Surely lightning wouldn't strike twice, right?
After her diagnosis, my mother and I were put onto yearly mammogram and ultrasound screening. I had this done in May. The technicians performing my scans made me feel as though I was wasting their time. I felt like telling them this wasn't my idea! Those scans showed nothing of concern.
I then found a hard, pea sized lump on the far left of my right boob near my chest wall. I left it for a while then had my GP check it the next time I saw her in August. She thought it was a cyst and I agreed, seeing as I'd had many benign fibroadenomas and cysts over the years. I was handed an ultrasound referral and told to have it done in a few months if it didn't go away.
The referral languished at the bottom of my handbag for a while, then in October when we went out for dinner to celebrate my 40th birthday, I asked my sister to feel it, as you do, and said, "What do you reckon?"
She looked at me with a flash of concern over her face and said, "I reckon you should book that scan."
All along I have been reminded of how lucky I am. I have the "good" cancer. Detected early, treatable. I have the cancer that everyone throws money at. Yay me. I get it. I am lucky. So many others are not, I don't for one second begin to compare my experience to anyone else's.
What people don't see with early breast cancer, especially the hormonal kind, is the treatment that continues long into the future. After the initial surgery and treatment (for me this was a mastectomy and chemotherapy), your oncologist eagerly starts you on hormone therapy.
I remember my oncologist swapping me from Tamoxifen to a combination of Zoladex implants and Exemestane. He said something like, "these will shut off your ovaries and this will stop any other hormones from attaching to cancer cells."
Lovely. Let's just shut off my ovaries, no biggie, right?
Then he adds, "but we will need to do a bone density test to get a baseline reading as this can cause bone loss and osteoporosis."
Fantastic. Next, it will be, "Let's just take your ovaries out, that way you can stop the implants, oh and we probably should consider a prophylactic mastectomy on your healthy breast." Excellent, anything else?
The medication I am on now has given me crippling joint and muscle pain, high blood pressure, hot flushes, tinnitus, vertigo, cognitive vagueness, and night sweats. Some nights I don't sleep at all. Like I'm actually awake all bloody night.
You go back to work and you look good. In fact, you look "really well". That's the extra eight kilos you've put on due to steroids, hormone therapy, and you know, menopause. For someone who has had the luxury of being relatively slim my entire life without any particular effort, this is pretty huge for me. I even need to get my rings re-sized.
For many reasons, I chose not to have immediate reconstruction. I may in time, I may not. Rocking a mono boob means that a lot of your tops don't fit anymore. V necks are pretty well out. Your chicken fillet never quite matches your real boob. Add this to the weight gain and we have a real wardrobe dilemma.
I don't mean this to be a whinge.
I am so happy to have access to wonderful doctors and medical treatment. I write this to remind everyone that although your friend or colleague who is in remission from early breast cancer may look well, she has probably been awake half the night in a lather of sweat. She probably has been hobbling around like an old lady with agonizing pain in her feet and hands for an hour before she got to work. She is probably feeling guilty for flying off the handle at her family in a completely unreasonable hormonal rage. She most likely literally has nothing to wear.
I think we need to remember when we are celebrating survival rates of early breast cancer, and waiving our pink ribbons around, that these survivors are not "back to normal". Most are still in treatment, many indefinitely. Many are never able to return to work, at least not full time anyway. All are living with the constant fear of recurrence, which despite all of the treatment available, still stands at around 30 percent.
What can we do? Have the screening, do the tests, know your body. Ask questions, get second opinions and support cancer research.
And be aware that cancer survivors are often still cancer patients.

I found this video yesterday when I was looking through a bunch of websites and blogs, but can't for the life of me remember where I found it.
I do recall laughing out loud at the end.. it's an ad for a European travel insurance company, obviously targeted towards the gay traveler.
Enjoy. 🙂

If your organization has decided to launch a suggestion system to capture employee ideas, congratulations! This is big step on the path to continuous improvement.
The decisions you make moving forward will have a lasting impact on the success of your improvement culture.
Sadly, we've seen more than a few instances of organizations that attempt to take this road, but fail to achieve results because the suggestion system never really takes hold in the organization. Fortunately, we've also been able to observe what the most successful organizations do to ensure that employees embrace the approach, and are going to share some of those behaviors with you now.
#1 – Talk About Why
Be sure that you communicate exactly why you are implementing a suggestion system - and what it can do for the company and its employees. Every member of the team should be clear about how the approach will reduce waste, improve efficiency, increase customer satisfaction, and make everyone's jobs better.
Helping people to gain a true understanding of the value of the new system for the employees AND the organization as a whole will go a long way toward increasing engagement.
#2 – Talk About Who
Organizations that get the most out of their suggestion system make it clear that every employee, from the front line to the board room, can offer opportunities for improving processes across the whole company. Make sure that you're doing everything you can to promote cross-functional collaboration and to engage everyone in improvement.
#3 – Remember, It's a System
People often focus on the "suggestion" part of "suggestion system" and don't realize that just gathering suggestions isn't enough. There must be a system for evaluating, and enacting them, too. Your improvement methodology and your leadership behaviors will drive the system, facilitated by your software platform.
To be successful, your methodology must be:
- Simple
- Consistent
- Disciplined
And your leaders must be:
- Engaged in promoting employee participation
- Accountable for the success of the suggestion system
- Committed to the behaviors that will promote an improvement culture.
Remember: Your suggestion software is part of the system, not the entire system.
For more info. on those leadership behaviors, download this free eBook:
#4 – Measure and Broadcast Results
Words like suggestion, idea and opportunity, can seem "soft" or "fuzzy" to some people, especially those who are highly analytical. That's one of the reasons it is important to translate the results of acting on employee suggestions to objective measurements like money saved, lead time reduced, revenue generated, or satisfaction scores improved.
Once the impact of improvement is quantified, make sure to share the success far and wide. This will:
- Ensure that each improvement has the maximum impact, as people beyond the initial team implement it
- Encourage others to get involved in continuous improvement
- Demonstrate your commitment to improvement and further entrench your improvement culture
- Ensure that an improvement becomes the new standard across the organization, and that standard is the starting poitn for future improvement.
#5 – Make it Easy
Employees won't be enthusiastic about contributing their best ideas if it is cumbersome or time consuming to do so. Be sure to select suggestion system technology that makes it easy to submit ideas, that is available on any device, and that adds value to the process of working on opportunities for improvement.
Whether they speak up or not, you can be sure that your employees are thinking about ways that business processes could be improved every day. A suggestion system is a great way to capture those ideas. How you select and launch yours will make a huge difference in how much impact you are able to achieve.

Suffolk family ring found at Loch Lomond sells at auction for £17,000
PUBLISHED: 11:30 11 September 2019
A 17th century ring engraved with the crest of the Colman family from Suffolk and with links to King Charles II has sold for more than £17,000 at auction.
The gold armorial ring, which is believed to date from 1640 to 1680, was discovered on the shores of Loch Lomond in November last year by detectorist Michelle Vall.
Mrs Vall, a teaching assistant from Blackpool, Lancashire, found it at Duck Bay on Loch Lomond while exploring the area with her husband last November.
She declared it as Scottish Treasure Trove to the National Museum of Scotland but the body told her in June it did not want to buy it, leaving her free to sell it.
She contacted auction house Dix Noonan Webb (DNW), which discovered the crest belonged to the Colman family, of Brent Eleigh, near Lavenham.
The crest can be seen prominently displayed on the ledge slab of the tomb of Samuel Colman (1569-1653) in St Mary's Church in the village and on the Brent Eleigh sign post.
The ring is believed to have belonged to Edward Colman, who became a convert to Catholicism and was later found guilty of treason and hung, drawn and quartered.
DNW valued the ring at £10,000, but after going under the hammer at its Jewellery, Watches and Objects of Vertu sale in London on Tuesday sold for £17,360 with buyer's premium.
Mrs Vall said: "I'm relieved it's all over - it's quite a moment after waiting for so long.
You may also want to watch:
"The whole auction side of it was quite scary, you wonder how it's going to go. I'm very pleased with the outcome."
She added her half of the earnings - the rest goes to the landowner - would be put away to pay for future metal detector travelling.
It is not the first time Mrs Vall has found a valuable object.
A few years ago she found a rare gold half angel coin struck during the reign of the Richard III, which sold at auction for £40,800 in December 2017.
The inside of her latest find, which is thought to date from 1640-80, is engraved with I for Jesus, which could indicate the owner was a member of the Jesuits.
Colman established himself at court in 1661, acting as a bodyguard to the king, and by 1673 had been appointed secretary to fellow Catholic, Mary of Modena, wife of James, Duke of York, the younger brother and heir presumptive to the Protestant King Charles II, who reigned from 1660-85.
But in September 1678, Titus Oates a renegade Anglican priest made claims of a "Popish Plot", accusing nearly 550 Jesuits of involvement in plots to assassinate the king, with Colman among the accused.
He was found guilty of treason and in November 1678 was hung, drawn and quartered, one of at least 15 innocent men to be executed.
Now considered a Catholic martyr, Colman was beatified by Pope Pius XI in 1929.
Oates was later discredited and convicted of perjury for the Popish Plot.

Chandigarh admn approves proposal of modernisation of city railway station
The UT administration has approved the proposal of Indian Railway Stations Development Corporation Limited (IRSDC) for the modernisation of the city railway station.chandigarh Updated: Jul 11, 2015 08:55 IST
The UT administration has approved the proposal of Indian Railway Stations Development Corporation Limited (IRSDC) for the modernisation of the city railway station.
The Centre has also chosen it as one of the five railway stations to be developed according to the international standards.
The IRSDC, in consultation with a German firm, has prepared a concept plan for the 500-acre railway land for its redevelopment. The proposal will provide up to 10 railway future extension along with minimum 150 metre wide green spaces along the track.
The development will be restricted to ground plus four floors, and will be done in accordance with the prevailing regulations of the UT and the Chandigarh Master Plan-2031.
Total 15-acre will be reserved for warehousing. The redevelopment plan, in addition to providing state-of-the-art international facilities to passengers and commuters, will also generate employment as a modern signaling equipment factory in an area of 10 acres.
The main approach road to the railway station will be widened up to 60 metres. For the convenience of public, an underpass has been proposed, which will link existing alternate route from the Industrial Area, Phase I, and the road coming from Panchkula between Sector 17 and 18.
The development and circulation facilities have also been planned to distribute traffic coming from Chandigarh and Panchkula.
UT adviser Vijay Dev said it was an historic day as two projects lingering for years had been put on the fast track. Now Chandigarh, too, would get India's first international standard railway station, he said.
The ministry of home affairs in April had clarified that the re-development and beautification of the city railway station would be done in accordance with the UT. However, the administration and the railway authorities were not coming on the same page to finalise the expansion plans.

Email Now To Request Financing Application
Many defendants can't afford legal fees. It's not something to be embarrassed about. Most people don't budget for defense attorneys because most people don't expect to be charged with crimes. If you aren't financially prepared to retain a defense attorney, you can apply for legal fee financing.
Applying for approval doesn't doesn't affect your credit rating. The approval process takes about a minute to complete. Being offered financing and doesn't mean you're obligated to accept financing.
Fee financing is available for all criminal defense cases.
If you're offered a financing arrangement that you want to accept, I'll ask for a 5% deposit up-front and the balance when the loan is funded.
If you don't qualify for any loans or if you qualify for a loan that covers some but not all of your legal fees, we can still talk about a payment plan. You can still pay your legal fees with cash, personal check, money order, or with a credit card.
If you choose fee financing, your legal fees will be increased by 4.2% of the financed amount to cover my costs unless we specifically agree otherwise.
60 Second Legal Fee Financing Application
Here is information consistent with the requirements of American Bar Association Opinion 484.
I do not have an ownership or other financial interest in any finance company or brokerage associated with this financing application. I paid an initial set-up fee and I pay a monthly subscription fee and a percentage of funded loans to the company to make this available to you. Loan money is paid directly to you, not to me. You pay a deposit when you're approved for a loan you want and then you pay us the rest when you receive the funds. You repay your loan consistent with whatever terms you agreed to with the lender. I don't have any control over that part.
The loan company will tell me when they make a loan to you and when they send funds to you. The cost to you is whatever interest rate you agree to with the lender. The benefit to you is the availability of legal representation that you might otherwise be unable to afford. Attorney-client privilege will be unaffected. I will not disclose privileged details about your representation to the bank(s) or lender(s) involved. Paying a lawyer through fee financing may affect your rights and remedies to get repayment or return of funds or forgiveness or reduction of your debt in a dispute arising out of a lawyer's performance.
I am not going to advise you on whether a certain loan offer is a good idea or not; that is outside the scope of representation. I don't recommend one payment option over another.
The finance company, broker, or bank will not direct or regulate my professional judgment in representing you in accordance with Model Rule 5.4(c). Legal fee lenders will have no direct financial interest in the outcome of your case and have no incentive to attempt to influence my advice, strategy, or tactics.
If your case is being handled on a flat fee basis, I will deposit the funds in our trust account and treat them as unearned or earned as the jurisdiction and our retainer agreement provide for the payment of flat fees. If either you or I terminate representation before flat fees are fully earned, I will refund unearned funds to do.

Well, yes, the obvious thing is how terrorist incidents are way outnumbered by othere things, but it is also interesting how evn within terrorist incidents the great majority are not from immigrants but from citizens. It is not so much people coming in with a mission that constitutes the threat - more the radicalisation of people in situ. This is a bit like the "Beware of strangers" message to children when the majority of abuse is committed by people they already know.
There are far more dangerous things inside America, than terrorists. That changes everything!!!

ALSO READ: I have faced the roughest time in my spiritual walk, Rose Muhando
What inspired the song, This is My Season?
It was birthed out of a sermon in a church. A pastor was talking about seasons and in the middle of that sermon, God gave me that song. It took me time to record it, and go through an inner journey and prayed to God to show me the way.
So you go through all that to write a song?
Yes. I believe in listening to the voice of God. There is nothing I can do without confirming that it is God's will. I know His plans for me are good and I listen to Him to dictate my decisions.
Why music?
I did not really chose to do music. It is a gift and a talent. I found myself singing in church where my father was a pastor. Then people encouraged me to sing. I would read the Bible and get a revelation.
A pastor's child.. how is it being one?
People could forget that you are a human being capable of making mistakes when you are a pastor's child. We can go through temptations and I feel sometimes people have unrealistic expectations of us. I want to be a role model, but I cannot be perfect.
What do you find most fulfilling in music?
It rejuvenates my heart. When I minister and people are blessed, I feel good and blessed too, that I am spreading the gospel.
Apart from music...
I like reading. I read a lot and I also love socialising and touching peoples' lives. When I see a problem especially affecting the vulnerable, I want to solve it.
What don't people know about you?
I want to touch people's hearts. When somebody is down, I want to be able to encourage them not to give up. I want to serve as an example through the way I live and through my songs.
What are your plans in the years to come?
I want to serve God in whatever I do. I recently graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Nairobi. As my ministry is expanding, I want my education to also expand. I want to widen my scope and interaction, and my reason will also stand out with education.
For More of This Stories Subscribe to the Standard Epaper to get a copy of Eve Woman in the Standard
What Bible quotes do you live by?
Romans 8: 28. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God to them who are called according to His purpose.
Advice to women gospel artistes?
Wait for God. Maintain sanctity. We should not go for short cuts to record a song. We should not mind waiting on God because at one time, He will uphold the desires of our hearts.

Don't Allow them to Knock You Down
Among the most significant reasons individuals quit a home based business (or never ever get going) is due to the fact that others try to knock them down. When I claim knock down: It simply means>>> talk negative, tell you you cannot do it or that it will never function. Heard it all (SO freakin What)
This could be difficult for the home based business entrepreneur, particularly if it is a friend or family member. Why would a person intend to do this to begin with? I do not have the answer for that yet probably they are a negative individual naturally. Possibly they are close minded or probably even they are envious.

All it takes is one negative comment and we are down for the count. Exactly how do you stay away from that? You have had the ability to frequently work with SELF ADVANCEMENT. Functioning to improve yourself each and every single day. Pay attention to favorable, motivating audios and video clips. Read from a self development publication on a daily basis for 15 minutes. Go to a motivational seminar. Collection goals and deal with coming to be a much better you.The more you work on YOU, the higher your self self-confidence will be and the strong your shield against the unfavorable will certainly be. Remember this….education gets you a job, self development gets you RICH
2. Surround Yourself With Like-Minded Folks.
You could have heard the concept that you rather end up being like the 5 individuals you spend time the most. This selects earnings degrees, habits and pretty much who you are. You ought to concentrate on spending you time around folks that build you up if are continuously around unfavorable people that knock you down and are negative. People sho are positive and have the exact same goals as you. Overtime you will see that you will begin to alter completely.
3. Do away with Exposure To Individuals Who Bring You Down.
, if you have individuals in your life that bring you down and are unfavorable to you … its time to eliminate or reduce your direct exposure to these people.. This can be hard when one of these negative individuals is a close family member however also after that it's feasible to locate new folks that will aid you have the ability to your objectives and become the individual you wish to be. Do not fret … your new circle of influence will raise you up and quickly you will feel much better regarding on your own. It's even feasible that several of the "Unfavorable Nellies" who that brought you down previously could see your change and want to adhere to in your footsteps!
4. Control Your Outside Impacts.
This is a large one. Just what you border on your own with will be a massive influence on exactly what you become. You will possibly have a hard time functioning on your self assurance if you are continuously seeing derogatory or terrible television or video games. If you listen to popular music that is saddening and weakening … well I assume you could inform. Take control of the outside impacts that you allow in your life. Keep them positive, all the time it will change your mindset
5. Act.
On of the best points you can do to avoid getting knocked down is to ACT! Consider it such as this. When something is in motion like a river, it is tidy, clear and crisp. Stinky and complete of disease when water is still it comes to be stationary. Say for example you have a home business. Take substantial action each day and strive. When you do you will certainly have excellence. When you have success you really feel much better about on your own and you intend to take more activity! Considering that you are on fire, now when an individual attempts and comes to knock you down they will have no impact over you at all!
Taking MASSIVE ACTION is the # 1 way to avoid acquiring knocked down.
So whatever you are performing in life, keep strong, try not to buy knocked down. , if you do simply acquire immediately back up!

While much of the public conversation about criminal reform measure Senate Bill 91 comes from politicians, a talk Saturday night featured a different demographic — those who have been in the system and who have benefited from the bill.
At an event called "Stories of Hope," organized by students at the University of Alaska Anchorage Master of Social Work students, a small group of attendees gathered at Northern Light United Church and listened to the accounts of three people who had first-hand experience with the criminal justice system. The stories were raw as they delved into their childhood traumas and adult struggles, but all three tales led to optimistic endings.
SB 91 helped them all get back on their feet sooner than they otherwise would have, they said. Mike Van Linden, a reentry case manager for JAMHI Health and Wellness, was able to get a temporary driver's license after his felony DUI as part of SB 91, he said in his talk. Being able to get that, he said, helped him get a job and function better than he otherwise would have.
Van Linden, who is in long-term recovery, has become a prominent figure in town when it comes to reentry and recovery. He's aware of the criticisms of SB 91 and the strong emotions behind property crime in the state, but he's also had a front-row seat to ways the bill is helping reduce recidivism rates in the state as well.
SB 91 has been a hot-button issue since it was signed into law in July 2016. Social media feeds light up with images of crimes and complaints about how the bill is at fault. Many politicians, including Gov. Mike Dunleavy, have called for a full repeal of the bill. Other politicians have called for changes to the bill and not a sweeping repeal.

Happy 2011!!! G and I wish you a happy and healthy 2011!
The annual celebration of the Oud en Nieuw is practically a global party. This was our 3rd year to ring in the New Year in Amsterdam. Over the last two years, we braved the cold and the crowds in de Dam (Dam Square) and Museumplein (Museum Square). But this year we had a few friends over for dinner then trekked up to the roof to enjoy the city wide fireworks and I think it was our best Dutch NYE. Sparklers in one hand and champagne in the other, we counted down to midnight several hours before our family and friends in the States. The first hour of the New Year was a spectacular fireworks display illuminating every corner of the Amsterdam sky. Fireworks surrounded us and it seemed like it was our own personal show.

|[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-6685) Change the generic serialization framework API to use serialization-specific bytes instead of Map<String,String> for configuration
|Fri, 12 Nov 2010 20:15:17 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6685?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12931517#action_12931517 ] Tom White commented on HADOOP-6685: ----------------------------------- > If one's records don't implement the {{Writable}} interface, then there's no reasonable binary container in Hadoop. SequenceFile supports non-Writable types already. The limitation today is that there must be a one-to-one mapping between Java class and serialized data type. I think that can be satisfied by both Thrift and Protocol Buffers. For Avro, I don't think we want to support it in SequenceFile, as we should instead encourage use of Avro Data File, which is like SequenceFile but interoperable with other languages. A process question: given how we failed to gain consensus last time, what could we do differently this time round? A design document to motivate the use cases? Any other suggestions? > Change the generic serialization framework API to use serialization-specific bytes instead of Map<String,String> for configuration > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-6685 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6685 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Owen O'Malley > Assignee: Owen O'Malley > Attachments: serial.patch > > > Currently, the generic serialization framework uses Map<String,String> for the serialization specific configuration. Since this data is really internal to the specific serialization, I think we should change it to be an opaque binary blob. This will simplify the interface for defining specific serializations for different contexts (MAPREDUCE-1462). It will also move us toward having serialized objects for Mappers, Reducers, etc (MAPREDUCE-1183). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

10 Point Fabric Inspection System
To check fabric quality there are many methods by which one can identify the quality of the fabric. 10-point inspection is one of the methods to analyze the fabric quality same as 4-point inspection.
The process is similar to 4-point inspection- In 10-point inspection, the only length of the fault and point varies.
Penalty points are assigned according to size of defects.
|Length of defeat
|Penalty points
|Up to 1 inch
|1 to 5 inch
|5 to 10 inch or till half width
|More than 10 inch or full width
These penalty points are used to calculate total points in the fabric. Same as 4 point inspection.
