Fishing Trip
This week has been so funny I can't wait to tell you all about it. As you know Herman is a bit of a trickster with a great sense of humour. This week however a very good trick was played on him and it was Frincess who tricked him…
It happened by the riverbank which is Pat's favourite spot to spend his time. He and Herman had decided to go fishing and so Frincess and I packed a picnic lunch before going down to see how Pat and Herman were getting on trying to catch fish.
While Pat caught his first fish, Herman was still waiting to catch his and that's when Frincess quietly hopped into the water and swam down to where Herman's fishing line was. On his fishing line she hooked on a t-shirt that had writing on it and then tugged on his line which made Herman think he had caught a fish. You should have seen his face when he pulled out the t-shirt that read ' I am not a fish' Herman was very surprised as you could imagine.
When Pat caught his second fish, again Frincess hopped into the water and this time she hooked on an old boot. When Herman reeled it in he was ever so confused. In the mean time Frincess couldn't stop laughing. I must say Herman did look funny being oh so confused with it all. Pat caught fish number three and Herman caught a glove thanks to Frincess. And when Pat reeled in fish number four, Herman reeled in a torch.
When Frincess hopped into the water for the fifth time she noticed a fish already dangling on Pat's fishing line. As she looked down onto the river bed for something else to hang on Herman's line she noticed that only one small fish was left swimming in the area. Frincess decided Herman should really catch at least one fish and that's exactly what happened. As Herman reeled in his first caught fish he was so excited. He ran over to Frincess and showed her his catch for the day. Then he did the nicest thing ever. He gave the fish to Frincess. He really wanted her to have it because he knew how much she loved them. Needless to say Frincess felt awful excepting the fish after all the tricks she had played on him. She told me there and then she will never play another trick on Herman ever again. But do you know what? Frincess and Herman love to play tricks on each other, so let's just wait and see because I am sure there will be a next time.

How I Lowered My Blood Sugar Levels
Apr 16th, 2011 by sandalwood
Some time ago, reading a book about a health problem other than diabetes, I found some food advice on what to eat, given by a well known M.D. that, when substituted temporarily for my usual diabetic diet, brought my blood sugar levels down to almost normal in just a few days.
I was diagnosed as having type-2 diabetes a long time ago and like many of my fellow diabetics I assume, I have had many periods of struggle to bring my blood sugar levels down to within a safer and more normal range.
The one way to do so that now seems to always work for me, required a simple dietary modification that I will describe below (with appropriate references). It is nothing special, it's well known but with a small variation suggested by Dr. Gabe Mirken, an M.D. who, with his wife Diana Mirken as co-author, wrote about it in the book The Healthy Heart Miracle, published by an associate company of Harper Collins in 2004.
Although prescribed for heart disease, it lowered my blood sugar levels
Dr. Mirken stated in his book that if his advice is followed exactly, with no cheating, he could practically guarantee that it would lower blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and triglycerides down to normal levels within 2 weeks! (I cannot help but add the exclamation mark)
The foods we eat are the source of our blood sugars
Most people who suffer from diabetes know the importance of diet and the need to formulate a diabetic menu that provides the appropriate food items to help them control and manage the higher than normal blood sugars that characterize their diabetes.
No one diet fits all, we all have our personal food preferences and tastes and most of us tend to prefer the types of foods we grew up with. For older people who have diabetes, myself included, that fact may be of help when putting together a diabetic menu plan because, if your growing up was like mine, there were more "natural" healthy and less processed foods available many years ago. Also, there was less reliance on packaged foods that often contain preservatives, added sugars, added salt, colorings and such.
However, good nutritious foods are common to all good dietary food menus, not just diabetic menus. I hate to betray my age, but junk foods and so-called fast foods, high in fats and calories, did not exist when I was young — so I guess that was an advantage when growing up.
The advice of Dr. Mirken: the SHOW ME! Diet
The SHOW ME! Diet-plan of Dr. Mirken is based on the well-known DASH diet, small modifications of which, are advocated throughout the Healthy Heart Miracle book where it is extensively explained.
The DASH diet ( Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension)
Is a healthy eating plan designed primarily to prevent and treat high blood pressure and is advocated by several health agencies such as those of the U.S. government's National Health Institute (NIH). A more detailed explanation of the DASH diet can be found at this NIH website.
Dr. Mirken's diet advice, which as mentioned above was really directed at patient's with high blood pressure but also lowered my own blood sugars — was so simple it may be hard to believe, all that was called for was the very strict adherence to eating, for FOURTEEN DAYS, [see my note below on fourteen days] meals that would provide adequate amounts of only two types of food:
- For breakfast: Cooked oatmeal with fruit and milk to taste. For anyone who cannot eat oatmeal, use instead brown rice or any other whole grain flavoured and served in the same manner as oatmeal (cooked oatmeal is called porridge in my family). Don't use quick-cook or instant oatmeal, beter are those that take longer to cook, referred to as steel cut, Scottish, or Irish style oats. I can confirm they are delicious cooked with a few nuts or raisins added and maybe topped with a few berries and with milk or soymilk.
- For Lunch and Dinner: Salads of any type and any amount for satisfaction.
- Frequent smaller meals and snacks can be eaten if preferred, as often as needed. Cooked oatmeal is not limited to breakfast but can be eaten any time if wished.
About the fourteen days — that length of time was specified to lower blood pressure, cholesterol, and triglycerides, not necessarily to lower blood sugars. It only took a few days, less than a week, to lower my blood sugars, and I must say eating only salads for a week can get rather boring — but it works, and can provide a new base from which to start anew and follow carefully a more varied diabetic meal plan.

This March, we're joining our Lead PreK Teacher at Fair Oaks, Desiree, in her fight to help children with muscular dystrophy. The fundraiser will be both a friendly competition and a lesson in helping others. Please read more about why this cause is so close to Desiree's heart and how you can help…
Every day, kids are born with muscular dystrophy and adults are diagnosed with ALS and related diseases that take away their most basic freedoms – the freedom to walk, talk, hug, and even breathe.
I'm participating with the MDA Muscle Walk of Greater Washington on Saturday, May 6, 2017 to fight for those freedoms – helping kids and adults to live longer and grow stronger – and I need your help. My name is Desiree and I am the lead PreK/VPI teacher for Sparkles! at Fair Oaks and my son, Derricke, has Muscular Dystrophy and Spinal Muscular Atrophy, so this is a cause that is near and dear to my heart.
With the help of Sparkles! employees and the wonderful parents that you are, we would like to sell green shamrocks for $1.00 and gold for $5.00. We can only accept cash or checks made out to MDA. You can buy as many as you want. We are making this fundraiser a friendly competition between classrooms; the shamrocks will be displayed on the windows and doors of your child's classroom, and the wining class will have a party to celebrate.
Teachers are being given an incentive too: I will personally buy lunch for the employees of the Sparkles! location which raises the most money. Our goal is to send at least one kid to camp, which costs $2,000. To purchase a shamrock please visit the front desk at your Sparkles! When the competition is over and I hand the money to my MDA representative you will see on my personal Muscle Walk page how much your center raised.
Thank you in advance for joining me as I fight for everyday freedoms for my son with muscular dystrophy – you will help him live longer, and grow stronger.
Desiree Figueroa
P.S. Please help spread the word. You are welcome to join our team and to walk with us. Also, don't forget to forward this to your friends and colleagues, and ask your social media friends and followers for their support as well. Thank you!

The color-symbolism. The topical and other types of sentences--I can
never remember terminology, but I looked at how well it was thought out
in yours and gave up on my one sketch of a vaguely-similar grammar. (Not
your fault, OC! I just figured that if someone else were exploring that
area I might as well continue with Chevraqis, my main effort.)
Unfortunately, lately I tend to skim grammar-postings that are longer
than a couple screens on my mail reader.

Hmm. To each his/her/its own. I don't mind some of the ritual, though,
because I look at the mythological sources and resonances. A lot of
fantasy, especially high fantasy, *is* unfortunately rather canned. But
some writers IMHO take those elements and manage to transcend them--old
ideas in new clothes, I like to call it.
Also, in *some* alien sf, the purpose *is* to illuminate
modern/real-world concerns by transposing them to another setting. For
myself, I find this is one of the great strengths of sf, that it is
willing to deal with social issues in such an imaginative and
future-oriented manner.
There's plenty of kinds of sf to go around. :-) I enjoy hard sf that
deals with exploration but I also enjoy space opera, soft sf, sf focusing
on social systems, etc.

Well, as I'm sure you've discovered, it is inherently *difficult* to come
up with an alien, because we're all human here (...I think) and haven't
met any (...I think)!
Also, sometimes alien cultures aren't being portrayed specifically as
"aliens," intent-wise, but as stand-ins for various Others in human
society. A non-alien example might be Asimov's "The Bicentennial Man,"
which can be read as a touching story on the surface level about a robot
who tries and finally succeeds in "becoming human." But the story also
questions what it means to be human, and Andrew the Robot could be seen
as representing human subgroups (ethnic, sexual orientation, sex,
what-have-you) that have been denied humanity. Likewise, I find that
some "alien sf" doesn't succeed in portraying aliens per se, but does
succeed in portraying alternate humanities, alternate paths; succeeds in
highlighting our understanding of our own societies, or lack thereof;
succeeds in critiquing, either by comparison or contrast, ills in our own
Or maybe I just overanalyze, despite being a generally literal reader.
Sf is fun in that you can read it literally and read it metaphorically,
and while I'm not quite as good at the latter, a little training in
literature goes a long way. :-p
There's also, un/fortunately, the market consideration of whether your
audience is going to connect to your aliens at all--it's a very difficult
balance between portraying aliens who seem to have motive but may also
seem "too human," and portraying aliens who really seem alien but may be
incomprehensible or boring to the all-too-human reader. A story that I
think succeeds in this, and that you might like if you can find it, is
Terry Carr's "The Dance of the Changer and the Three." You see hints of
alien motivations, but they never come clear--in human terms.

I think it's good. :-p In writing for publication there are
market-based constraints on what you can or should get away with. I tend
to explore military ethics in my sf, and cultural differences in my
fantasy; and while I strive to escape stereotypes (not always
successfully) I do think there is great value in mythical archetypes and
resonances. (Roger Zelazny, I think, was especially good at this, not
least because the man was so amazingly well-read.) Unfortunately, some
original ideas are difficult to make interesting to a more general
readership, but hey--we all create for our own reasons. I write because
I love writing and because I think the social function of sf/f is, while
often overlooked, extremely valuable when done well (e.g. not pedantry).
You create because you seek after originality. I have to confess that
seeking absolute originality is difficult in writing, because if you come
up with a great idea there's a depressingly high chance of someone else
having come up with that idea whom you never heard of, in some earlier
sf/f (Spider Robinson takes this idea to an extreme in "Melancholy
Elephants," though I think the picture isn't quite so bleak as he suggests).

Boarding Schools for ADD & ADHD
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is a mental illness that mainly affects children and teenagers but can spill over into adult years if not treated. The National Institute of Mental Health estimates that up to five percent of children have ADHD, a mental illness that makes it difficult for a child to function at home or at school.
Symptoms of ADHD in Teens
Symptoms of ADHD in children and teenagers are broken into three distinct categories, inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness. Inattention traits in children are marked by forgetfulness, inability to sit still, easily distracted and have a tendency to daydream. A child afflicted with hyperactivity traits will be unable to sit still, talks a lot and has to always be doing something. A child who is exhibiting impulsiveness traits will experience difficulty waiting.
The exact cause of ADHD is unknown, although there are several different factors that contribute to the condition, including heredity, chemical imbalances, brain changes, poor nutrition, exposure to toxins and brain injuries.

The physical universe apprehended by human conceptual thought which conceives the object and constructs the objective world consists only of dust and ashes and the immanent phenomenon of life. This world of relativity only takes shape through the elimination of the subjective. It exists, but cannot articulate reality since reality demands the subjectivity of human consciousness to the absolute categories. Existence is an actuality imposed by human invention and therefore limited to the expression of that which is objective and rational. Consequently, the phenomenon of life as subjective consciousness becomes our sole avenue into the reality of being. The construction of an objective world proves to be an error on the path of development for human consciousness, a descent from that subjective apprehension of the absolute, which is familiar to all forms of life, into a conceptual framework of an invented and artificial actuality imposed upon the reality of nature as human civilization, the city.
Category: Human being
faith in being
The physical universe is as an expression in lower dimensions of higher dimensions of being. The absolute consciousness of being is the highest consciousness, revealed as the infinite void within which the universe is inflating. This absolute consciousness of being must be an article of faith to the growing consciousness of human being and the expansion of consciousness the direction of the evolution of life within the universe. The seed of consciousness implanted in the universe transcends the physical limitations of form that delineate existence and is passed on through generation. Increased consciousness is not a means to an end but an end in and of itself, not to be achieved in order to manipulate the physical universe but in order to transcend the physical universe which has a beginning and therefore will have an end, while the absolute consciousness of being is eternal and infinite.
Death is an affront !
It is the self's desire for eternal life in the face of death that motivates the individual male's sexual urge, to propagate and pass on his seed through generation in a competitive status with other individual males, giving rise to all male aggression, including aggression for the purpose of procuring territory or property needed to attract a mate, which aggression is thus sexually based, the urge of the fruit of an inauthentic individuality, the self, a false image of the soul reflected against the illegitimate order of civilization, for immortality. To establish its own immortality the self wills to vanquish its rival!
But my anxiety in regards to my human life confronted by death, my eternal being in a temporal environment, is not merely about the threat of death in whose shadow I stand at every moment of time, but also about my ability to live an ordered life in the midst of the chaos of the unknown that borders the circumference of what I think I know. I accept the order of civilization because I fear chaos and am then further terrorized into submission by those who seize control of this false order of civilization and use the fear of death as their tool.
In reality the essential task of every human being is to remain conscious of the absolute categories and practice a selfless compassion, thereby to annul the negative brought about by the expression of the self in existence. Instead of pursuing this task however, the worldly are engaged in a rampage of self-actualization, seeking to outdo each other in a frenzy of greed and pride. In the place of denial of the self, which is merely an image of their true being reflected against the artificial world of the city, they have cast themselves loose in the universe of dust and ashes, fabricating the idea and actualizing the self's fulfillment of success in the intellectual construct of existence, although real success in life is, not the actualization of the idea of an individual self, but the realization of one's true being in an eternal and infinite harmony with the absolute.
Time past!
Pagan consciousness is confined within the intellectual categories of existence, time and space, and cannot acknowledge the reality described by the absolute categories of eternity and infinity. Neither can pagans develop a proper understanding of nature, which is the expression of undetermined being, since they introduce objectivity and reflection into an actuality that can only be truly apprehended subjectively and immediately as the present moment. There is no present moment of time, only the past exists. Existence is time past. The moment is eternally present, stretching to infinity and therefore one with the void of being, the soul of the absolute. The individual soul may therefore be defined as a conscious moment, a moment of consciousness which can choose to be determined spiritually or materially. The spiritually determined soul becomes one with the absolute, while the materially determined soul is eventually lost in the chaos of existence, of time past.
More of the same!
All anxiety is anxiety about nothing, the absolute nothingness of the void, the spiritual presence at the core of every living being and the reality into which the universe of actualities is expanding. Filling this void at the core of our being with sensual baggage distracts us from its reality and places us within the illusion of relativity, the physical universe of time and space. Anxiety leads to despair, the condition of the soul that has lost its connection with its true being, and despair leads to death, the ultimate illusion of relativity and the ultimate expression of the negative in existence.
The spiritual void which is the ground of each human soul is the same void within which the physical universe is expanding, an infinite, spiritual emptiness. The soul which is consciously grounded in this emptiness is at one with its own transcendent being, absolute being. On the other hand, the soul which spurns the spiritual void and seeks fulfillment within the universe loses its connection to the eternal and wastes its lifetime filling the void at the center of its being with things of only relative value.
I am from the void, the void of being, the void of spiritual being, the void of conscious being. I am a spiritually conscious being.
The self that I project, in different forms, into the physical universe around me, is only an image of my being, a false image, shaped by my particular environment, by my place in the world of relativity. This illusory self, born of woman from the seed of man, is formed and reformed by the shifting currents of the chaos of existence
I am every man, every woman, every form of being, in this universe and beyond this universe, in the void of being. The finite universe is confined within the infinite void and the void is present in the center, the soul of every being, at the center of my being,
I am in the void, the spiritual void of being. I am no longer hiding among the artifacts of existence, I am no longer attempting, with futility, to fill the void at the center of my being with the distractions of chaos.
I am still, within the void, gazing outward, conscious only of being.

Considering PITRtools 1.4
With 1.4 we will be making some changes, quite a few of them in fact. Over the years replication and and log shipping has matured in PostgreSQL. We want to take advantage of that maturity. With that here are some of the changes we plan to make:
This will allow base backups to take advantage of multi-core machines as well as limit the amount of CPU resources that the process takes up. This will effectively eliminate any benefit to pg_basebackup when using PITRtools.
This was an interesting problem we came across with one of our clients who still run Solaris. They are using zones as well SMF. This means that PITRTools out of the box didn't properly work on their environment because we directly call pg_ctl from PITRtools. The solution we came up is to allow the following in the cmd_standby.ini
pg_start_cmd pg_stop_cmd pg_restart_cmd
This will allow custom calls from SMF or any other management interface to stop and start PostgreSQL.
The configuration file has grown to a ridiculous number of options in 1.3. For 1.4 we are going to assume most commands are in $PATH. This will remove the need for many of our configuration options. We are considering still allowing specification of location if you don't use a standard path but that has yet to be decided.
PITRtools already has a queuing mechanism for wal logs but they are stored uncompressed. This could benefit from compression on the disk.
PITRtools has all the mechanisms to properly handle postgresql backups. Why not add the option?
Of course more things will come as we discuss further. Feel free to join the project and let us know your ideas!

I added an SSD drive to my Macbook Pro a few months ago and was amazed at the performance boost I got from it. I had read before how an SSD truly is one of the best things you can do to truly see big performance gains but I had no idea how much until I did it. Man, it made my already fast Macbook Pro even faster. The boot time is amazing and opening even a bulky application like Photoshop is almost instant.
Since I didn't order my SSD from Apple it didn't come with the ability for OS X to enable TRIM for the drive. And as you'll see in the previous link, if you're using an SSD you really need to be using TRIM. Luckily I recently came across this article that told me everything I needed to do to use TRIM in OS X. Thanks to the free utility Trim Enabler 2.0, it was easy and my SSD now should last a lot longer.
If you're in the same situation as me, definitely check it out!

Leo Varadkar: Europe is at a "decisive" moment in its history
Irish Taoiseach, tells MEPs that EU is facing the "rise of populism and anti-democratic forces."
Leo Varadkar Photo credit: Press Association
Irish Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar has told MEPs that Europe is at a "decisive" moment in its history, facing the "rise of populism and anti-democratic forces."
But he told a debate in plenary on Wednesday, "I believe we have a renewed appetite to tackle this and all future challenges."
He was taking part in the first debate the European parliament has organised with EU leaders on the future of the European Union, an initiative of the president of Parliament, Antonio Tajani.
- The European Commission has unveiled its long-awaited strategy on plastic waste.
- Senior MEP questions viability of parliamentary debates on EU presidencies
- Morten Helveg Petersen: Energy union: It's time for more ambition
- Strasbourg plenary: EU Parliament discusses future of EU
- Verhfostadt: EU needs reform - or risks disintegration
- Jerzy Buzek: Clean energy is a springboard for secure and sustainable growth
Speaking in the plenary chamber Varadkar insisted he was committed to safeguarding the British/Irish Good Friday peace agreement and that there will be no hard border between Ireland and Northern Ireland after the UK has left the EU.
On Brexit, Varadkar told deputies, "It is hard to imagine the Good Friday agreement without the EU and that is why we are so determined to protect it and why we also insist on no return to a hard border."
He added, "Ireland is an example of how small countries benefit so much from EU membership. We respect the decision to leave the EU but the EU recognises the unique position of Ireland. The breakthrough achieved in the Brexit talks just before Christmas means I hope that a hard Brexit will be avoided. We have no wish to see any borders between the north and Ireland so will do all we can to avoid this."
"As talks move to phase two we have to ensure there is no backsliding on this and the new relationship between the EU and UK is as deep and close as possible and one that also protects our Customs Union."
He also spoke of his passion for the EU, adding, "I am part of a new generation of leaders born after our home countries joined the EU. But while I have always lived with the benefits of EU membership I have never taken them for granted."
"I am part of a new generation of leaders born after our home countries joined the EU. But while I have always lived with the benefits of EU membership I have never taken them for granted" Irish Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar
He also welcomed the chance to kick off the first in a series of such debates, saying there was, a "mass of wisdom" in the parliament and that it was a "good venue for such a debate."
Varadkar said one of the benefits of the EU was that it "allows small countries to have a seat at the table in council as opposed to no say at all and that is why we are better off in the EU.
"I care a lot about the UK, we have a shared history and culture. But I regret Brexit because so much will be lost, including the rights of our young to live and work in Europe – that is a real shame. British business could lose their access to the biggest market in the world. I am also conscious of the war veterans who fought on beaches of France for European values. They are much in my mind right now."
"I respect the Brexit decision but will fight hard to ensure we have a close relationship between the EU and UK."
He insisted, "But this is not about anyone taking all the benefits and none of the responsibilities. That cannot happen."
Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker said the debate was "timely and fitting" and called for an end to the "artificial" barriers between the EU and its member states.
Centre-right EPP group leader in the European Parliament, Manfred Weber said, "The EU stands at a crossroad between hate and hope. We have to bring hope. The question is how we can protect this and other EU values? There are a lot of things to do so my message today is let's get things done. It is either an ambitious Europe and not a Europe at all."
Guy Verhoftsadt, the Liberal ALDE group leader and the European Parliament's chief Brexit negotiator said, "The EU can learn a lot from Ireland – the Irish capacity to transform and reinvent itself. That is exactly what the EU needs, to reinvent, not destroy, itself. It can show the EU leadership as in the past to the reform of the EU, including on defence and migration and a budget that goes in parallel with this."
"The people of Europe want a different Europe, able to give concrete answers to their problems" European Parliament President, Antonio Tajani.
"On Brexit, Europe will always be behind Ireland. In these talks, we are all Irish."
Also taking part in the exchange was UKIP's Nigel Farage who told Varadkar he was a Europhile partly because he had once worked in the EU.
But Varadkar was quick to correct the MEP, telling him, "I have to tell you Mr Farage that I never worked in the EU, only in Ireland and the United States."
In a half empty chamber, Farage accused Varadkar of "putting your devotion to the EU project above interests" of his own people, including Irish farmers.
Farage told him, "You are part of a big attempt to frustrate and overturn Brexit. You do not want us to leave because you know that when we do then others will do too."
"I do not want a second referendum but fear you are all working with Nick Clegg and Tony Blair to ensure we get the worst possible deal."
Northern Irish DUP MEP Diane Dodds told Varadkar he had "rightly stressed there should be no hard border", adding, "I agree but it is not in Ireland's interests to see the North suffer. The union that matters most to the North is the union within the UK. 2018 will be a pivotal year for the relationships between the UK and EU and also between Northern Ireland and Ireland."
Another Northern Irish MEP, James Nicholson, said "The key to Brexit is to get the Northern Irish executive back up and running again at Stormont."
"You are part of a big attempt to frustrate and overturn Brexit. You do not want us to leave because you know that when we do then others will do too" UKIP MEP Nigel Farage.
On Europe's future, Tajani said, "The people of Europe want a different Europe, able to give concrete answers to their problems. From the beginning of my term in office, exactly one year ago, I have stressed the importance of bringing Europe closer to its citizens, putting Parliament - the only directly elected institution - at the heart of the debate on their future.
"I would like to thank the Taoiseach and other leaders who have already expressed their willingness to speak in plenary for the valuable contribution that they will make to the debate. Parliament is the beating heart of European democracy and must be the protagonist of open dialogue between MEPs and EU leaders in order for us to continue our journey together, stronger than ever before."
The heads of government of Croatia, Portugal, Luxembourg and Austria have confirmed their participation in the coming months in similar debates, while French president Emmanuel Macron is set to address MEPs during their mid-April plenary.

Like rubbernecking past a car wreck, I can't resist octogenarian retired CEO Al Neuharth's weekly column, every Friday in USA Today.
Once more channeling Marie Antoinette, our favorite pampered, multimillionaire media mogul delivers a message to all you whining, soon-to-be laid-off workers: Let them take out mortgages!
To be sure, the focus of today's Neuharth column isn't the thousands of Gannett employees losing their jobs in the worst economy since the Great Depression. Nor is it about the dozens of workers on the verge of getting walking papers at Neuharth's own version of Marie Anoinette's palatial Versailles: the Newseum. Indeed, none of that dreary news is even mentioned!
Instead, Neuharth is teaching another lesson in commonsense Prairie values, set in his sainted South Dakota birthplace, Eureka. Small community bankers there didn't get mixed up in any of that crazy stuff going on back at Wall Street, he sneers. (Neuharth's reliable source for this news: a flack for a bank trade group.)
"Seven years ago," he writes, "I had a chance to buy the old family home here for $15,000. Could have paid cash, but we wanted our oldest child, Alexis, then 10, to learn about things like mortgage payments. The Great Plains Bank agreed to loan us $7,500 for 10 years, but only after careful examination of my financial statements. Alexis became a co-signer of our $91.03 monthly mortgage checks."
So, what are your kids getting for Christmas?

Sweet and Sour Kid Goat Tagine with Apricots, Almonds and Pistachios
This is a delicious way to serve kid goat shoulder or leg.
We spent a day with cook and food writer Lindy Wildsmith preparing a range of wonderful dishes using Trecorras Farm kid goat meat. The recipes demonstrate the versatility of this tasty, tender meat and why it's a hot food trend.
Serves 4-6 people
Cooking time: 1 hour
1kg of Trecorras Farm kid goat shoulder or leg, trimmed and cut into small pieces
1 onion finely sliced
A glass of red wine
2 level tablespoons of tomato paste
2 level tablespoons of sugar or honey
4 tablespoons of red wine vinegar
8 naturally dried apricots, figs or dates, chopped
2 tablespoons of split almonds, toasted
2 tablespoons of pistachio nibs, toasted
Extra virgin olive oil
Salt and black pepper
A sheet of greaseproof paper
250g instant plain couscous
400ml warm water
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Juice of half a lemon
1 packet prepared pomegranate seeds
25g toasted cold pine nuts or almonds
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
3 tablespoons chopped parsley
3 tablespoons chopped mint
2 green chillies de-seeded & finely chopped
salt and freshly ground black pepper
Put a large heavy based pan on a low heat. When hot, add enough extra virgin olive oil to cover the base then add the onion and gently fry for a few minutes.
Increase the heat to medium and add the kid goat meat and brown well all over. Add the wine and allow it to evaporate. Season with salt and black pepper.
Stir the tomato paste into 200ml of hot water and add this to the pan, turning and stirring the meat as you do so.
Crinkle the greaseproof paper and run it under the tap, shake off the excess water, then put the paper over the meat to fill the space between the meat and the top of the pan (this will prevent the meat drying out). Put the lid on and cook on a low heat for 1 hour. Stir from time to time to make sure it is not drying out.
While this is cooking, toast the flaked almonds in a wok over low heat, stirring or flipping constantly until golden brown. Tip onto a plate and leave to cool. Brown the pistachios, tip out and leave to cool.
When the meat is ready, put the vinegar and the sugar or honey in a small pan on a medium heat and stir to dissolve and then simmer for a few minutes. Add the chopped fruit, stir and then add to the meat. Stir and leave to stand for ten minutes for the flavours to come together.
Serve topped with the fried almonds and pistachios. Serve with couscous or rice.
Variation: stir in fresh aromatic herbs such as basil, mint or marjoram instead of the fruit.
Put the couscous in a large heat proof bowl. Pour on enough warm water to cover the couscous. Cover the bowl with cling film, leave for 5 minutes (or as recommended on the packet).
After this time fork the couscous through to aerate it. Add the olive oil, lemon juice, pomegranate seeds, pine nuts or almonds (toasted and cooled), cinnamon, herbs and chillies. Mix together thoroughly. Taste and season.

Cleft No More
Sasha's surgery was scheduled for 2:30 pm and she wasn't allowed to eat all day. I thought that would be truly awful, but to be honest it was rather disconcertingly fine. Steve has a theory that since her meals were so regimented at the baby house, she hasn't yet learned to listen to her body when it comes to being hungry and full. I'm not sure if that's true or not, but you would think that a two-year-old would have strong negative opinions about not being fed all day and Sash just took it like a champ. We kept her busy and distracted and she did ask for food a few times, but surprisingly it was never a battle.
We got to Primary Children's Medical Center at 1:15 and went through the intake process just fine. We were told that the doctor was running a little behind (no big surprise there) and had a good time playing in the pre-surgery waiting room. Then we were told that the doctor was running a lot behind and we probably wouldn't get in to surgery until 4. Sigh.
But Sasha was fabulous. She happily blew bubbles, ate bubble solution (she wasn't supposed to eat or drink, but I don't think bubble solution counts), took rides in the little plastic cars, and otherwise occupied herself for the full 2 hour wait! What a kid.
At 4:00 she had a sedative and her craniofacial doc and ENT (Ear Nose Throat doc) chatted with us about the procedures. By that point she was really loopy and was happy to lay down in the wagon and go with the anesthesiologist. It was go time!
Steve and I made ourselves comfortable in the parent's waiting room and just a few minutes later the ENT came out and told us that the ear tubes went in just fine and she has infections in both of her ears (not super-surprising, that's the whole reason she's getting the tubes) but that the normal drops they prescribe after inserting tubes should also take care of the infection. One procedure down, one to go!
The cleft palate repair took another two hours, but it all went just as expected and the plastic surgeon was able to get all of Sasha's mouth parts into their proper place. He remarked again about how wide her cleft was - we just responded that when we Morningstars commit to something, we go all the way!
He was able to get the whole center part of her palate just where it belongs, which is awesome. Right now, it sort of looks like she has a strip of plate down the center of her mouth and she still has gaps on either side, but Dr. Siddiqi said that's normal and those gaps will heal right up in a couple of weeks without additional surgeries.
After meeting with Dr. Siddiqi after he was done with Sasha's surgery, it was time to go get our baby girl from post op. Begin suckiness.
As she was sedated, the swelling in her mouth from the operation started to obstruct her airway, so they gave her meds to wake her up from the anesthesia instead of letting her rouse naturally. Those meds immediately flushed all of the pain meds and sedatives from her system, which meant that she was feeling everything. I walked into post-op past this kid screaming bloody murder thinking, "wow, I'm glad that's not my kid" - you guessed it, that was my kid.
Of course, the choice between a breathing baby in pain and a baby who isn't breathing is an easy one to make! We spent the next two hours with a screaming, hurting, bleeding, restrained, miserable, and angry Sasha trying to calm her down and keep her blood oxygen levels up. It was awful. Really, beyond words, awful.
But we have a great nurse who worked really hard to find the right meds that were safe for Sasha and kept the edge off of her pain and by about 9 pm she had finally calmed down enough to sleep. Her pulse has stopped racing, blood pressure is normal again, her oxygen levels are doing great, and she's finally at peace.
So we're hoping that tomorrow will be a whole new day. She already had a few ounces of apple juice to drink, which is awesome, and we're allowed to feed her mashed potatoes if she wakes up and is hungry. The arm restraints come off tomorrow, which is fantastic because Steve and I were expecting her to have to wear them for weeks. We may be discharged tomorrow or we may need to wait until Friday, we'll just wait and see what tomorrow brings and how quickly she bounces back.
It's so funny - she already sounds different! Even her crying doesn't sound like it used to. Before surgery, I was sort of mourning her cleft. That probably sounds insane, but it's been a big part of the Sasha we know and love and I was sad to see it go. But now that I hear the beginnings of what her little voice is going to sound like (granted, those beginning were mostly screams, making it all slightly less touching) I know that this is right and good.
We definitely appreciate your prayers for good sleep tonight and fast recovery. It would be great to go home tomorrow, but if it's better for her to stay until Friday then that's ok, too.

Sasha, you're a brave little girl with brave parents. Way to go, Morningstars! Great photos. I'm praying that your night has been without incident, and she was able to sleep through all the nurse visits.

Thank God for taking care of your little Sasha when you couldn't be by her side. And thank God that she came through with flying colors and the she won't remember the pain. And thank God that you all had each other to get you through this time. Now with just a little more time and lots move love, you'll all be home together looking for more colored baby chicks to bring into the fold.
I'm so glad you ALL did so well. Hang in there. You're almost done with the toughest part - waiting for it to be over.
Take care,
Lexie & her mommy too!

Sasha, I can't wait to hear your sweet voice! I'm so thankful the surgeries went well!

I'm so glad to hear both surgeries went well. That is wonderful news. What a brave little girl! And parents for having to sit there and watch her deal with pain without being able to do a thing for her other than just be there.
I hope she was able to get a good night of rest. Looking forward to the next update of Super Sasha!
- May 14, 2009 at 6:36 AM
I can only begin to imagine how terrible those painful hours after surgery were. You two must have been hurting almost as much as Sasha. It's awful to see your child in pain and not be able to do anything about it. Today is a new day and we'll pray that each new day will be better than the last.
