Chickdriven Tested: Surviving the holiday rush with the Volvo XC90
We all have different opinions and priorities when buying a vehicle. Usually for men, they look at the more serious things like engine displacement and design of the vehicle. They sometimes sacrifice things women would feel important in buying a vehicle like the overall look. Oh yes, remember those big bad rims and cut shock-absorber springs that make you feel riding a kalesa instead of a car? Well, again, everyone has different priorities, which is why we are introducing the Chicdriven Test. Below are the different criteria used to test a vehicle and a quick explanation of the test.
Storage: Nothing sours a good shopping trip like when your purchases do not fit in the car. As a multitasker, we women tend to do everything in one trip, thanks to our multiple and simultaneous intelligence. Men are somewhat single-minded in a task so storage usually only goes as far as if their golf clubs can fit. While for women, it can go as far as grocery, plants, furniture, etc. Can it handle regular grocery purchases or several big-ticket items bought on special times of the year? Let me call this the Christmas Raffle level. Or is it good enough for regular holiday fares like the mother of all storage tests: The S&R Sale?
Ride: Let's face it, our men often pester us to dress up faster and we're forced to put on makeup in the car. How we are able to put makeup on as the passenger tests the ride. The test is done on the same route (Alabang-Daang Hari-Cavite) at speeds of 60-80 kph. Test is done by several individuals with different car makeup skills. The levels are: day makeup (usually of big-strokes makeup); night makeup (more tricky applications which requires blending and precise strokes). Special mentions are false eyelashes (requires a precise hand and a stable ride with minimum body roll), liquid eyeliner (requires the most precise strokes, the best damper/shock absorbers).
Interior Space: How comfortable is the inside cabin of the vehicle? Is it good for Carrie & Mr. Big (child-free couples), Pro- RH bill advocates (1-2 kids max) or anti-RH bill advocates (3 kids and above)? We will talk about car seats, strollers and yaya space in this section.
Other things that we will tackle are fuel economy, look and accessories.
The Volvo XC90
My Christmas ride was a 3.2L gasoline-powered Volvo XC90. I rode it for several shopping and grocery trips, my doomsday preparations, and it almost made it to a Christmas raffle level, but it just couldn't fit the washing machine. It was a good companion on the crazy traffic jams last-minute shoppers had to deal with. We used to own an old Volvo when I was in high school, so I was familiar with its ride, accolades, claim to fame and shortcomings. When you buy a Volvo, you buy safety. It used to come in such a boxy design that when it comes to looks … well let's just say they are really safe.
Come the modern era, the design of the Volvo has evolved into a more trendy and sexy look. You still buy it for safety, though, especially (in the Philippines) in a country badly needing nationwide lectures on road safety. The XC90 has the Blind Spot Assist, there are two warning lights to let you know there is a car beside you and a Park Assist Warning when backing up. I would, however, opt for the park assist camera, which comes in extra. I think this is a big help for women drivers. They have the usual passive safety stuff like airbags everywhere and collision bars in places you need them.
Driving the XC90 had a sturdy feel. The vehicle felt no lag or heaviness while driving; it is responsive enough when you step on the throttle. Handles well on long-distance drives.
The seats are also very comfortable giving you ample elbow space while driving and taking a nap in the back. The interior space, which actually seats seven people comfortably, has a smart and easy, one-hand middle chair removal for backseat access (need this when your other hand is preoccupied with bags or a baby and you need to slip in your two other offsprings in the back). There is an indicator where the car seat should be placed, which for me is very helpful.
Doing the ride test, doing the night makeup was easy, especially with the lighted vanity mirrors and a good seat and mirror distance ratio. It can reach liquid eyeliner level, but the person needs to be more of an expert "in car makeup." We weren't so lucky with the false eyelashes.
Things I really like with the Volvo XC90:
1. The seats—luxurious and really comfortable
2. The look—I've always liked the look of the Volvo. Stands with a lot of substance and trendy enough to look cool.
3. The rid—sound and solid. You really feel safe.
Things I am not so cool with the Volvo XC90:
1. Dashboard and accessory panel needs updated dials.
2. The Volvo is good for a long-distance drive but it is not the most fuel-efficient drive (as it was a 3.5L gas-powered version). There is, however, a diesel version.
So it all boils down to priorities. I would definitely think the Volvo is a strong option especially for family cars because of its safety heritage. It's like buying a helmet; don't scrimp on it because … well it's your head.

Despite more than 1,000 attendees at Saturday's Houston Press BrewFest, no one seemed to have any problems getting enough beer. A ticket got each attendee eight samples and extra beer cards were for sale (a mere $8 for eight more tastes). Even at the popular tables, lines were short and it was easy to jump in and get another pour.
After a week of heavy rains, the sunny, warm day was greatly appreciated. In fact, the temperatures that got up to the high 80s at the beginning of the festival made people happy that much of it was inside air-conditioned Silver Street Station.
42 breweries participated, each bringing at least three beers for attendees. Several, including Southern Tier, Squatters, Wasatch and local breweries Karbach and 8th Wonder, also stocked up a wall of 15 taps in the back area outside.
It was Sarah and Wesley Barnes' first-ever beer festival and was a good introduction. Their favorite beers at the event were Founders Brewing Co.'s "Rübæus" and Freetail Brewing Company's "Bat Out Of Helles." Wesley Barnes described the Freetail offering as having "a lot of back-of-the-palate flavor and really pretty smooth." Freetail is a San Antonio-based brewery that just started distributing in Houston in March.
Like many others, the Barnes were eager to get their hands on a juicy burger from Bernie's Burger Bus around the midway point of their beer sampling. Bernie's, as well as food truck Doughmaker and restaurant Houston Barbecue Company, were set up outside.
Folks who sprang for VIP tickets were treated to some extra-special goodies. There was an array of extra-special bottled beers to try and many were impressed by Green Flash Brewing Company's "Silva Stout," a 10.1-percent ABV double stout aged in bourbon barrels. There was also a table of food manned by Italian restaurant Ragu & Pesto where they served samples of Caprese appetizers (mozzarella cheese, tomato and basil), lasagna and Pesce Marinato, which is basically Italian ceviche. Italian food gave way to Mexican when South-side restaurant Habanera & the Gringo took over VIP food service from 4:30 to 7 p.m.
There was an abundance of brewery company swag to be had, too, including koozies, keychain bottle openers and tons of stickers. Little J's Bar on Washington was giving out their own koozies and food coupons to guests who stopped by their booth.

Occasionally, 16 people would leave all at the same time, but this was no mass exodus—they were just out seeing what it was like to be on a giant Pedal Party bike outfitted with beer kegs. Those who wanted to have a different kind of beer tour in the future got a peek at the upcoming schedule for the Texas Beer Bus.
Gabriella, a Houston-based representative for Laguinitas Brewing Company (with brewing operations in Petaluma, California and Chicago, Illinois) said the company participates in BrewFest because "it's one of the big events in Houston and we like to expose our beer." "DayTime IPA" and "A Little Sumpin' Sumpin'," an American Pale Wheat Ale with a bold, slightly bitter finish, were two of the Lagunitas beers available for attendees to sample.
"Everyone's really excited to be here," said Monafeitha Darbonne, who was volunteering on behalf of Odell Brewing Company. "Everyone's asking questions. The crowd is really bouncing off of each other and making recommendations [on what beers to try next]. I would absolutely love to do this again."
We feel the same way.

Arranging a wedding can be remarkably overpowering, particularly when you're one of those ordinary people arranging it without the assistance of a wedding organizer. From the cake to the solicitations, the dress to the primary move, everything has its place, and everything requires arranging.
In any case, there's no compelling reason to go ballistic. The months paving the way to your wedding will confound, insane and thrilling, yet the majority of all, they may very well be the greatest months of your life! So don't push. This guide will help you get motivated to arrange the wedding you had always wanted. Here are some useful tips to consider.
The principal request of business is to choose what sort of wedding you need to have – that is a difficult request, would it say it isn't? This means to choose the tone of your occasion. Do you need a formal wedding with loads of sparkly lights and a dark tie clothing? It is safe to say that you are seeking after something more easygoing on the shoreline? Would you like to travel to Mexico and have a subject wedding?
This is likewise an opportunity to choose whether you need to have a religious function or a mainstream service. Essentially, you have to choose how you need your wedding to feel as a rule. What will make you and your accomplice upbeat? It's a smart thought to take a seat and talk about this, possibly do some conceptualizing about what might make both of you feel incredible about your huge day.
Next, consider your financial plan. For the fortunate few, spending plan is no stress, yet for the greater part of us, considering cash is a characteristic piece of any wedding. Begin off via hunting down a printable wedding spending sheet – these are entirely simple to discover on the Internet. Take a gander at the present condition of your funds and consider the amount you can spare in every month paving the way to your wedding.
Converse with your folks and your accomplice's folks to check whether they'd jump at the chance to contribute anything to your wedding. Provided that this is true, ask them the amount they'd give, or on the off chance that they'd jump at the chance to pay or something particularly, similar to the cake, the solicitations or the DJ.
Finally, choose in case you're happy with getting cash and straying into the red for your wedding. This is a hazardous thing to do in such a dubious economy, however each couple is distinctive. Hitched couples frequently battle about cash notwithstanding when they're not paying off debtors, so it's prudent to arrange a wedding that you can bear, not a wedding that you'll be paying off for quite a long time to come.
You may, in any case, need to open up a charge card that you'll use to pay for things for your wedding and you're wedding as it were. This will help you monitor your wedding costs and may help you pile on some preferred customer credits for your special first night!
Next, it's a great opportunity to choose who makes the slice with regards to your list if people to attend. Your participants, particularly those in the marriage party, wind up doing significantly more in your wedding than simply remaining by you at the sacrificial table, so you need to ensure that the general population you pick for your best man and house keeper of respect can deal with the duties you provide for them.
These parts are an amazing privilege to your loved ones, so pick shrewdly. It's insightful to pick individuals who live near you, however this isn't generally conceivable. You may likewise need to talk about what number of bridesmaids and groomsmen you will need at your wedding – your accomplice may have an alternate sentiment than you on this subject, so you'll need to meet in the center.
Presently it's an ideal opportunity to begin searching for a setting! In case you're going the open air wedding course, search for a grand beachside area or a delightful garden in your town. Numerous settings are reserved a year ahead of time; The Plaza in New York City broadly books years out. The farther you book, the more probable you are to get the date and time that you need, and to pay a sensible sum for it. On the off chance that you arrange excessively near the date, you may pass up a great opportunity for your most loved area, or be compelled to pay through the nose to book it.
In conclusion, enroll your emotionally supportive networks. Arranging a wedding is extraordinary, but at the same time it's upsetting. Having great individuals around you who will help you pick a picture taker, a scene and more are extraordinary advantages for arranging an incredible wedding. In the event that you are a greatly bustling individual and have the money to save, consider employing a wedding organizer who will get things composed for you. You can likewise visit online gatherings to look for exhortation from other as of late wedded couples.
Regardless of how focused on you get, attempt to recall that when the huge day comes, the greater part of your exertion will be justified, despite all the trouble. What's more, recollect, it's never too soon to begin arranging!

It's all in Plato – Genocide, Morality and the Euthyphro Dilemma
It's all in Plato, all in Plato: bless me, what do they teach them at those schools!
C.S.Lewis, The Last Battle
A lot of the Christians I know love this quote, spoken by Digory Kirke in Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia. I can see why – it's often used to illustrate a claim that Christian theology wasn't invented from scratch in the 1st Century, but can be seen as a logical progression from some well-worn Platonic ideas developed centuries earlier.
That's true in some cases, but Plato's just one philosopher, and he said a lot of things that are rather a long way from Christian ideals. For example, he also thought infanticide was not just acceptable, but an advisable state policy. And he developed a line of discussion, known as the Euthyphro Dilemma, which continues to cause serious moral difficulties for religious beliefs of all stripes.
The Dilemma, in essence, is whether God commands certain actions because they're good, or whether they're only good because God commands them. In other words, is there an objective moral standard independent of God, or does God define that moral standard by His actions and commands? The former overturns God's sovereignty, the latter makes God's morality arbitrary.
Much discussion throughout history has centred on attempting to steer a course between the Scylla and Charybdis of these two conclusions, and to me, the most obvious and troublesome problem for Christianity is dealing with the genocide which is apparently commanded by God in the Old Testament.
Apologists regularly attempt to justify these actions, often with reference to God being free to do what He likes, by virtue of being God, or to claimed moral justifications. Some bizarrely attempt both at once, like a lawyer arguing that his client wasn't at the scene of the crime, and even if he was, he had an entirely innocent reason. But you can't have it both ways. Is such an act of genocide inherently moral, or is God entitled to define morality as He wishes? It's one or the other.
If committing genocide is objectively moral, it must be acceptable for us to do it – unsurprisingly, few people are prepared to make such a claim. If you reject that option, you're saying God gets to decide what's moral and what isn't, especially seeing that He's happy to tell other people not to kill each other. Might makes right, and moral justifications are unnecessary and irrelevant.
That's unsettling enough, but it carries additional implications. A common criticism of atheism is that it offers no objective basis for morality. That's a weak argument – it says nothing about the truth of the position, only complaining that it's inconvenient – but if God can arbitrarily determine His own morality, Christianity suffers from the same problem. God's morality would be no more objective than any other system.
That means God would be entitled to tell someone to sacrifice his son, go on a killing spree, or commit any act, no matter how vile or apparently immoral. Of course, anyone with an ounce of decency or morality would question such a command, but how could you dissuade someone else who says God told him to do that? If God defines His own morality, it would be moral for Him to tell people to do whatever He wants. Given this, criticising atheism for the lack of an objective brake on immoral behaviour is particularly ironic.
The obvious answer is to acknowledge that stories of divinely-ordained genocide are self-justifying Israelite propaganda, and a long way from the truth. I'm surprised by how few apologists take this approach. Presumably, they take the view that once any part of the Bible is discarded, it opens the way to more and more, but when the alternative is defending the indefensible, I'd say that was a necessary risk.

I've ditched inerrency, so this isn't an issue for me. Methodist pastor Adam Hamilton (Church of the Resurrection) had a talk about this that didn't end up insanely arguing that God was ultimately responsible for it.
Greg Boyd has a completely different explanation (look up "God's Shadow Activity).
I can't believe God's responsible for genocide. And I'm still wrestling with what God is and isn't responsible for in everyday life. I'm having a hard time believing God causes everything that happens, but with that in mind, it's hard for me to guess at what God *is* responsible for!
i want to believe.
unkleE says :
Is it not possible that an omnipotent God could give us free will? Then he would know what we would choose, but it would nevertheless be us doing the choosing?
Of course I presume an omniscient God, in deciding which universe to create, knows and allows those choices, but it still is us who make them. But I believe God would choose to create the best possible universe, and then allow our choices within that.
The hardest thing for me as a christian to believe is that this is the best of all possible universes!

A nail salon in Memphis, Tennessee, has gained the ire of customers as it is being accused of fat-shaming clients. Moreover, it was reported that the salon is charging heavier customers more than its usual fee if they want a pedicure.
According to Revelist, Deshania Ferguson, a customer of Rose Nails in the Frayzer Plaza Shopping Center, first posted a photo of the service fees sign to Facebook earlier this month. She captioned the shot, "Went to get my nails done on Overton Crossing and Frayser Blvd. and this is what they have up…so rude."
The sign reads, "Sorry, but if you are overweight, pedicures will be $45 due to service fees for pedicurists."
The post has been shared over 500 times on the social media site, and one commenter said that the salon ought to be reported to the Better Business Bureau for discrimination. Another said that what the establishment is doing is similar to making heavier people pay for two seats on an airplane.
Memphis' News Channel 3 reports that a regular pedicure at Rose Nails ranges from $25 to $30.
Ferguson revealed on her Facebook page that there are only two people who work at the salon, the owner and his wife. Ferguson's beautician friend, Saquio Seaberry, suggested that she should tell the staff to lift weights.
"I'm a small woman so I struggle lifting up the heavy legs of clients whether they're overweight or 6'9 300 lbs," said Seaberry. "It's a part of the business, accommodate the clients."
News Channel 3 spoke with salon owner Son Nguyen, who denied that they posted the sign. He told the news program that the photo may have been taken at another salon. However, he did say that instead of charging overweight people extra money, he has decided not to service someone if they are severely overweight.
Nguyen claimed that it's difficult for technicians to give them pedicures and that overweight customers have previously broken some of his chairs, which has cost him $2,000 to $2,500.

Just For You Card
I love to mix blue and brown together, it is a classic color duo that, I think, never goes out of style. I wanted to use my Freshly Picked cricut cartridge because I have had it forever and have never used it, so I challenged myself to pick a cut from it. I dressed it up with some rhinestones and a new stamp. The stamp is actually a christmas/holiday stamp set, but I though it worked perfect for this card.

Cricut: Freshly Picked
Paper: Colorbok-Earthtones Paper Pack and Cardstock from Recollections
Stamp: Ditto by Hampton Art (SCO511 is the id number, I couldn't find a name of the set anywhere)

Here's a peek at a fresh batch of some figurines I'm working on for ShanaLogic. Baby narhwals are still baking! A few fox necklaces, foxes, dragon ornaments and various kitties. I need some minions to help me paint everything!
These are my "samples" that I use for size and design reference. That's a big obstacle with hand-sculpted figurines. Unlike the ease of having a mold, if you're making a design in bulk, it's challenging to get the same size everytime. You can also see the size difference between the dragon ornament and the regular dragon figurine. I can't decide which size I like better!
People have asked me in the past what type of clay I use. I stick with only Super Sculpey in the tan color. I've found that it's more durable and easy to sculpt and hold its shape. It also seems to react the least with the types of paints and gloss I use. Some of the other poly clays I've tried in the past have stayed kind of tacky after applying the gloss. I don't get it. So I just avoid it. Problem solved!

Karin's Story
A breast cancer suvivor's inspirational story!
Breast cancer survivor and Paddle For Hope founder Karin Horen was just 26 years old when she discovered cancer in her right breast. Luckily she found it in time, and after a partial mastectomy, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, Karin went back to living life to the fullest, using her voice to encourage others to be aware of their bodies and vigilant about their health.
In January 2013, 14 years after discovering breast cancer for the first time, the beautiful mother of three young daughters found that three suspicious tumours she could feel in her other breast were malignant. She underwent a skin-sparing mastectomy in March to remove all the breast tissue, then started six months of aggressive chemotherapy. Next up is more surgery, radiotherapy and a reconstruction.
"No surgery will remove what I have in me and what I have to give, no chemo will erase and no radiotherapy will burn. I am meant to be here and with my passion, experience and love help others.
I could not be more grateful that this time, again, I listened to my body, I knew something was not right and I kept going to the clinic to make sure I got the right answers. And there it was! My message is as always: Know your body, love and trust yourself. This is the only way."
MY STORY by Karin Horen
At the age of just 26 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. After losing my mother a year earlier, I had to face another challenge. Saving my own life.
I was one of the lucky ones. I was one of those women who felt something was wrong and made it the doctor on time.
He said "you are so young, its probably nothing." But an ultrasound showed it beyond doubt. It was breast cancer.
From that moment onwards, I entered a new world. For the next year while my friends were partying I had to go through chemotherapy and radiation, hoping for the best.
And I did. I always hoped, and never stopped to ask the question ??? Why me? I researched, read, asked questions, admired my scalp and embraced my hair loss, and the fact that I lost almost half of my breast. At the age of 26 when all my girlfriends wore bikinis on the beach and open dresses, I had radiation drawings on my body and went to hospital every couple of weeks for treatment which made me sick as a dog.
"I wanted to continue my life just the way it was, and not stop for a second. That is the way I felt. Desperate to win.
But that did not stop me from getting my first big job as a media buyer in Ogilvy TLV, a big advertising agency and finishing my treatments while growing my hair back.
I went to the first interview wearing a wig, and the second interview with short hair. They thought I was that type of girl who changes hairstyle every now and then... funny.
What kept me going you might ask? Simply it was my will to live. My breast cancer came along when I was having the time of my life, recovered from my mum's passing and was happy and social, like every 26 years old girl.
I wanted to continue my life just the way it was, and not stop for a second. That is the way I felt. Desperate to win.
I was so lucky to be diagnosed in such an early stage. Early detection and knowing my body well saved me. I kept my close friends and family around me and they followed me and supported me every day. This gave me strength.
Knowledge and the desire to understand what is happening, what I can do to help me get through it, was the key. I was also determined that when I recovered I would help others.
After 5 years, when I got the ALL CLEAR, I went for a reconstruction. I was quite happy with results and I felt I got my femininity back. Strange how these little things, like 250cc, can re-build your confidence as a woman. I gave my wig away to a friend, Shirly who I met while getting treatment at the hospital In Jerusalem. Unfortunately, she passed away 3 years later.
But although my boobs had been reshaped and I had a new lovely sexy cleavage, in my memories, and my soul there is a scar.
I do carry a physical scar on my right breast as well. I am proud of that scar and when I was told by a doctor that he could treat it, I told him it is part of me and to leave it be.
"Keep healthy. Eat well, live well, exercise, meditate, take good care of your body and soul."
In April 2007 against the odds I gave birth to our first baby girl. Huia Maya. In October 2010 I gave birth to our second daughter. Mokoia Ilana. In January 2012, we had our third daughter, Pania Jean.
Is there hope? Of course there is. I pray every day that someone will find a cure for cancer. And that women will not die from this disease any more.
For the memory of my dear friend Shirly Luria and for the memory of others, for the joy of those amazing courageous survivors. I carry this flag of hope.
I am happy to be able to give something of myself to The Pinc and Steel Cancer Rehabilitation Trust. I am asking all women to be aware of their own bodies, the changes they go through. Know your body and cherish it. 1 in 9 women in New Zealand will be diagnosed with breast cancer each year. Research and early detection, as well as new treatments, enable these women to live.
I have been training consistently for the past 12 years and it gives me strength and positive energy. It clears my mind and makes me more aware of my body. I totally recommend good nutrition and a weekly exercise routine.
Almost two years ago, I was introduced by my dear partner, Manu, to this amazing sport of Stand Up Paddle boarding. The first time I got on a board I could just feel my body floating on the water, relaxed and calm as I paddled away into the ocean. I stood firm and allowed myself to be carried away. It's that kind of sport where you can just drift away, or race like a warrior. I realized what I could get from it, and I have been paddling ever since. When I want to get away, I can just ride slowly to the distance, and when I want to get the real fitness out of it I paddle hard. The fighter in me gets out. ??It's a great feeling. You will love it too.
I am 40 today and ALIVE.
HOPE. COURAGE. LOVE. FAMILY. WISDOM. This is what I carry with me in my heart. Thank you for taking the time to read my story.
Join Karin in her amazing Paddle For Hope.
As part of her recovery in 2014, Karin started stand up paddling 3 months after surgery. "I just take it gently, on clear days in the marina. For me the emotional and holistic benefits of getting out on the water with my friends are just as important as the physical benefits. Just a few months after the surgery to remove my breast, lymph nodes and tissue from under my arm, my flexibility and strength are returning faster than I could ever have imagined. SUP helps me feel healthy and normal again.
Despite her own ongoing chemotherapy and surgery, Karin is determined to offer the same opportunity for other women recovering from breast cancer. Karin is now working with fellow paddlers Kristin Percy and Victoria Stuart to develop a clinically-endorsed SUP rehabilitation for people recovering from breast cancer. Kristin is the secretary of NZ Stand Up Paddling Incorporated and a qualified SUP Instructor. She has also used SUP to rehabilitate after breast cancer surgery.
As part of this project, the Paddle For Hope team and Pinc and Steel Cancer Rehabilitation Trust will fund a clinical study into the physical and psychological benefits of stand up paddle boarding in breast cancer rehabilitation.
"We already know how amazing stand up paddling is on every level – that's why we paddle. There are so many benefits – from the incredible healing power of the ocean and the meditative effect of paddling on it, to the camaraderie of going together with your friends, or even just the feeling of getting out in the fresh air and doing something physical with your whole body. This is different to any kind of rehab program you can do with a physio or in a gym, and we are really excited to be funding a study that, as far as we know, is the first clinical assessment of the benefits.
"It is so important for women to be active after breast cancer surgery. So many women don't do sports, putting themselves at risk of a slower recovery, painful or unpleasant complications like lymphoedema, and even permanent loss of flexibility and strength. But here is a sport that is easily accessible by women of all ages, and that uses the whole body: core, back, arms and legs. The impact on your joints is low but the impact on your wellbeing is very high. You don't have to race or surf on a Stand Up Paddleboard. It really is just like walking, on water."
Come walk on water with Karin and be one of hundreds of paddlers painting the sea pink on Saturday, 7th November 2015, to help women and men recover from breast cancer.

Issue #91 Bradford City vs Manchester United vs Rangers vs Everton in the Summer of 2012 Four Team Tournament that never happened
There was to be a Summer Four Team Football Tournament at Valley Parade in Bradford in 2012 involving the hosts Bradford City, Manchester United, Glasgow Rangers and Everton. The teams would play two days of football and while that was happening Bradford City we build relationships with people at those clubs and beyond in the wider football world to announce that the club was a respectable member of the football community once more. It never happened of course, but this is the story of how it could have and about how a club started acting in a strange way with the hope coming over as not at all strange to the rest of football.

- Largest number of first time buyers in Wales since 2007
Largest number of first time buyers in Wales since 2007
Published: 28 August 2013
More first-time buyers were advanced loans in the second quarter of 2013 in Wales than in any other single quarter since the end of 2007, data from the CML shows.
This positive growth saw house purchase loans in Wales up a third in the second quarter compared to the first quarter of 2013.
First-time buyers
A total of 2,700 loans were advanced to first-time buyers in the second quarter of 2013 which was a significant increase on the 2,000 loans in the first quarter and up from 2,100 in the second quarter of 2012.
The average value of the loans also increased to £93,453 in the second quarter compared to £88,355 in the first quarter. This meant that there was a stronger growth in the total value of lending to first-time buyers in Wales which totaled £270m, an increase of 35% on the second quarter last year and 42% higher than the first quarter of 2013.
The typical deposit of first-time buyers in Wales remains at 15%, something that has not changed since the third quarter of 2011 and lower than the 20% typical deposit size seen on average throughout the UK.
Chart 1: Lending to FTBs in Wales, number of loans advanced, and lending to FTBs in Wales as a proportion of the UK total
Home movers
Growth in lending to home movers was not as strong as first-time buyers although remains positive, 3,400 loans were advanced in Wales, worth £410m, which was an increase of 31% on the first quarter. However, this was actually a decrease of 3% compared to the second quarter of last year.
Lending for house purchase
Total house purchase lending - covering both first-time buyers and movers - in Wales have shown strong growth in comparison to the first quarter of 2013 and last year. Overall 6,100 house purchase loans were advanced in Wales in the second quarter which was an increase of 33% on the first quarter of 2013 and a 9% increase on quarter two last year. This total value of these loans amounted to £680m which was also up by 11% on the second quarter of 2012.
Chart 2: House purchase lending in Wales: Year-on-year % change in Wales compared and the UK
Remortgage lending increased in Wales in the second quarter with £370m advanced in total. This resulted in the first year-on-year increase since the end of 2011 with remortgage lending up by 19% compared to the first quarter of 2013 and up 6% compared to the second quarter of 2012.
Chart 3: Remortgaging lending in Wales: Year-on-year % change in Wales compared and the UK
Peter Hughes, chairman of CML Cymru, commented:
"The positive growth trends we are seeing in Wales this quarter and the increasing confidence are very encouraging. First-time buyer levels being at their highest since 2007 is hugely welcome and, along with the growth in all other sectors, suggests lenders are very much open for business."
Notes to editors
1. The Council of Mortgage Lenders' members are banks, building societies and other lenders who together undertake around 95% of all residential mortgage lending in the UK. There are 11.3 million mortgages in the UK, with loans worth over £1.2 trillion.
2. Source: CML Regulated Mortgage Survey
3. The Council of Mortgage Lenders does not publish statistics for mortgage approvals. The data in our monthly Regulated Mortgage Survey and gross lending press releases relate to mortgage advances only. A mortgage approval is the firm offer to a customer of a specific amount of credit secured against a particular property. A mortgage advance is the total amount of loan actually provided to the buyer, by the lender. Please see the mortgage statistics timeline on our website for further information.
4. Data for the third quarter of 2013 will be released on Tuesday 26 November 2013

Especially as it seems to generate a very very strong 'negative' halo (deep first lobe).
test image (magnified) -- from IM examples resize pages
Code: Select all
convert xc: -bordercolor gray15 -border 2x0 pixel.gif

This is a magnification of the image using a bicubic interpolation (using IMv7 - see IM Examples, see interpolation for IMv6 methods - same results though)

On the other hand these are the result for a Catrom filter.

im_profile pixel_catrom.png pixel_catrom_profile.png
As you can see the bicubic profile has a VERY deep first lobe. Far too deep for catrom. And it does not show a disjoint look that you would get for a lagrange filter. In fact NO filter I know of is anywhere as deep as catrom!
It looks to me that bicubic is currently broken!!!! And probably has been for a long time!

An addition to what has been called 'one of modern architecture's greatest monuments', the expansion of the Kimbell Art Museum in Texas, by Renzo Piano, has opened to great acclaim. Its iconic beams were created right here in BC by Structurlam, coated to precise specifications with BRODA ® Clarity and trucked 3350km from Penticton to Fort Worth. You can see some of the construction shots in our original blog post here, and a dazzling slide show with more photos by Timothy Hursley here.
The strength of these massive beams allows for a 100-foot span between concrete pillars, providing a sense of open space that allows the museum's collection the space it deserves.
Congratulations to Structurlam – this is truly a world-class installation.Kimbell Art Gallery: 100-foot long timber frame architectural beams wood coating specification acrylic water-based coatings by BRODA laminate glulam clear-coat staining finish

Feature Image by Mc Jefferson Agloro on Unsplash
One of the best parts of Thanksgiving is having a couple of days (or a week) off school. You have been working so hard—preparing for exams writing essays; and now some sweet, glorious freedom. We all know that all of the homework you SHOULD be doing, WON'T get done until the night before returning back to classes. Finally you have time to binge watch season two of Stranger Things.
While I am all for taking some time to kick back and relax, I also recognize the value of time. It's important to find balance between hard work and recreation. So in the spirit of finding balance, what productive things can we do during time off? The list is individualized for each person, but let me give you some ideas of what steps you can take this week towards your career.
Update Your Resume and Portfolio
During the busy weeks of the semester, it can be difficult to stay on top of keeping your resume current. You have potentially changed jobs or at least responsibilities and hopefully have added to your resume. Maybe you completed an assignment or work project that you want to include in your portfolio? By taking some time to update your resume and portfolio, you are setting yourself up for success in the future. Also did I mention that many companies are trying to fill internships for spring at this time of year? Don't get caught unprepared and take an hour or two to set yourself up.
Read a Book
Something that I am not particularly good at is reading (especially outside of textbooks and blog articles). Having a prolonged period of time off is a wonderful to pick up a book at the library and expand your knowledge. An article from Psychology Today, shared a study that said "Becoming engrossed in a novel enhances connectivity in the brain and improves brain function. Interestingly, reading fiction was found to improve the reader's ability to put themselves in another person's shoes and flex the imagination in a way that is similar to the visualization of a muscle memory in sports."
Reach out to Friends and Contacts
We all have that friend who we want to talk to more often, but oftentimes get too busy to do so. During your time off, consider calling or visiting them. It's important to kindle real relationships with the people around us because after all is said and done, relationships are what can remain. This applies to professional contacts you have met, but done poorly at staying in touch with. Reach out to them and wish them well or perhaps recommend a good book (see what I did there?). Also write thank you notes…especially if you haven't thanked people for wedding gifts they sent…
Find a Peaceful Moment
This final suggestion seems to contradict with the rest of the article, but what I am trying to get at is the importance of meditation, pondering and introspection. Taking time away from distractions, in an environment that is peaceful, can help you reduce stress levels and prioritize your life. It may also lead you to good ideas, increased creativity and help you be happier in general.
—Wrap Up—
Whatever it is you decide to do with your time off is something you have to decide. I will definitely spend some time this week watching Suits with my wife; but I will also take this time to recreate my resume, finish some video editing projects and email some professional contacts.
What is it you'll be doing with your time off this week? Comment below and offer some suggestions on how you stay productive.

SHC summons FIA director on 20th in missing children's cases
KARACHI: The Sindh High Court on Thursday summoned the director of the Federal Investigation Agency, Sindh, with the relevant record on Dec 20 on a petition seeking the whereabouts of around 20 missing children.
The two-judge SHC bench, headed by Justice Naimatullah Phulpoto, hearing a number of cases of missing persons, expressed displeasure with the FIA for its officials' absence. A notice was issued at the last hearing to the investigating agency after a question was raised about the possibility of use of these children in human trafficking.
The bench also came down hard on police when they informed the court that one of the missing girls had been recovered in Korangi on Nov 19, but the suspect could not be arrested.
Chides police for their inability to arrest suspected kidnapper of a recovered girl
Justice Phulpoto observed that it was a failure of the police and if the police had caught the suspect, he might have provided information which could help the police recover the remaining 19 children.
It again ordered CIA DIG Amin Yusufzai, who is heading a committee, to make efforts for the recovery of the missing children, to use modern devices for the purpose and show progress at the next hearing.
The parents of missing children were also present during the hearing, but they appeared to be very disturbed, it added and also directed the DIG to arrest the suspect involved in the abduction of the recovered girl and produce him before court.
Warning to IGP
"We also direct the inspector general of the Sindh police to look into the matter personally, else he will appear on the next date," the bench warned the provincial police officer.
At the outset of the hearing, the DIG submitted a progress report and said that a missing girl was recovered from a park in Korangi No. 5 on Nov 19 and after completing the legal formalities the minor girl was handed over to her parents. He added that efforts were being made to locate the remaining children.
He further said that despite a remainder, the response from the FIA about the provision of information about human trafficking was still awaited.
In the previous hearing, the bench had issued a notice to the FIA and also directed it to assist the police in locating the children after the bench raised the question about the possible use of children in human trafficking.
On a directive of the SHC, the police had registered 23 FIRs regarding missing children at the Awami Colony, North Nazimabad, Nazimabad, Ferozabad, Saudabad, Docks, Preedy, Boat Basin, Quaidabad, Gulshan-i-Iqbal, New Karachi Industrial Area and Korangi police stations. Later, three of the children returned home while the fourth one was recovered last month.
A petition was filed by Roshni Research and Development Welfare in 2012 seeking court directives to the provincial police for considering the missing children cases, who went missing in different parts of Karachi, a cognizable offence and registering FIRs in that regard.
The NGO alleged that cases of missing children were not properly investigated by the police which resulted in many preventable deaths.
Meanwhile, the same bench also heard several identical petitions of missing persons, referred some of them to the Karachi police chief to personally look into them and expressed dissatisfaction on the progress reports filed by the investigation officers.

Apple has clearly felt the need to remind parents in the UK how to make sure their children don't go spending thousands on in app purchases, and as such it has uploaded a 'Parents Guide' to the UK App Store. As a Brit, it's pretty embarrassing that we are the only country which needs such a thing.
There's no excuse for the quite frankly ignorant parents who don't take a second to research and solve the issue by toggling a switch in the settings.
However, there are also many other ways to prevent the issue, including putting a passcode on your iOS device, not linking a credit card to your account, instead using gift vouchers, or simply setting up a separate account for your child if over 13.
Hopefully this guide will take some of the blame away from Apple. There was no excuse before, but now with all the publicity, if any parent so much as dares blame Apple for their child over downloading in app purchases, it's a disgrace.
You can access it from the Featured tab in the App Store.

Online grocery business is a form of business becoming increasingly widespread in recent years thanks to the strong development of the Internet. But how to apply this business model an effective way?
It is not difficult just you know be 3 tricks:
1. Management of goods by software sales
Different forms of trafficking direct transactions generally, online sales in general or particular grocery online sales often attract a larger customer thanks to usability it brings to consumers. But the store owner then reverses, to be an order online to the customers, the store must receive more stages than in the form of direct purchase. General online business will become a form of business quite dripping as if you do not have the assistance of a sales management software.
Software sales will help you: customer list management, revenue management, inventory, and. with intelligent interface help you easy and convenient operation. Costs you need to spend to have in hand this software is really very affordable, consistent both with the financial conditions of the people who started a new business. A help so indispensable truth, right?
2. Managing the online sales system
To the business of good results, reaching customers is extremely important. There are 2 types of famous sales funnel that you can't ignore when doing business online that is selling website and facebook fanpage. A simple website with eye catching design with the utility will function as tools to help you add a large number of passengers. Besides taking advantage of the popularity of facebook to put its products accessible to consumers than is also a necessity.
However, the increased number of customers means the cargo increase at this time, to afford everything you need choose the increasing human resources investment or a fanpage management software. Usually receptive to a single online, you need through the following stitches: single, single record reception, packing, submit, wait for the postman delivered success and closing the menu, not to mention the cases of errors and was charged. If the stores have the promotion even larger work.
3. To manage the delivery
One other important factor when you are selling online is the quality of delivery service. The client will ask you to ship to any addresses that can be home, work or school,… Wherever appropriate and convenient to receive their orders.

Have you see these Advent colour-in mats from Matalan, yet? They're just £4 right now and are part of the wider range of gorgeous Christmas stuff at Matalan this year.
It looks as though you get one for every day of Advent throughout December, and they're designed to help little ones count down the days until Christmas.
I just love doing stuff like this throughout December with my lot. I'm a big fan if anything Advent-themed because I tend to think that anything which helps take the focus off the big day itself with all the fuss and build-up can be helpful in helping kids understand that Christmas isn't just about toys. I know that sounds like heresy to some of you, but I think embracing advent traditions is a really important part of making Christmas with kids really special.
You can order the Advent colour-in mats online using the link above and then opt to have them delivered to your nearest branch of Matalan without paying a penny for delivery. Alternatively, home delivery from Matalan starts from £3.95 and it's free on orders over £50.
What's your view? Do you have a favourite family Christmas tradition? If so, come and tell us all about it over on our Facebook page.

From Kare Kare beach, the Home of the Year 2011 is invisible but for a slot of sky reflected in the long horizontal windows of its living room
2011: Michael O'Sullivan goes wild on the west coast
From down on the black sands of Kare Kare beach at dusk, the Home of the Year 2011 is invisible but for a slot of sky reflected in the long horizontal windows of its living room. So far, so predictable: there is nothing wrong with architecture designed to blend into its landscape, but there is nothing new about this idea either. What elevates this small home from standard-issue deference to a one-of-a-kind achievement is what lies behind its dark-skinned camouflage: a magical series of interior spaces coiled around an inviting courtyard, an arrangement as singular and muscular as the arresting vista outside.
It is a house designed not for looking at – in fact, it is so well-concealed in the bush that it is almost impossible to get a decent fix on it – but for looking from, a place that deftly executes a deep bow to the landscape while simultaneously daring to presume it can make a great view look even better. Somehow, the marvel that is this West Coast beach becomes even more marvellous when viewed from within.
Views are the blessing and the curse of many New Zealand homes. Our remarkable landscapes command attention, but many of our homes cower mute and inexpressive in response. In different hands this home, by Michael O'Sullivan of Auckland's Bull O'Sullivan Architects, could have cowered in just this manner. Its owners, former Waitakere City mayor Bob Harvey and his wife Barbara, asked Michael for "a house that must not in any outward way be ostentatious".
They went on to demonstrate the depth of their democratic instincts by not only consulting neighbours on the design, but asking Michael to change aspects of the house that elicited negative remarks (Michael's original design featured a cantilever that allowed the living room to project a little off the edge of the hill; the cantilever was removed and the living area made smaller after a neighbour objected).
A lesser man might have walked away from such a consultative muddle or seen his original vision for the home slip from his grasp. But as well as possessing a determined streak, Michael knew that if he could successfully navigate the process, Bob and Barbara's strong, warm personalities and deep attachment to Kare Kare offered him the opportunity to create a soulful, highly individual piece of architecture.
Besides, Michael had actively sought the job: he first happened to meet the couple on the site when he was going for a run at Kare Kare with a rugby club mate who knew Bob and Barbara and had dropped by the property to say hello. At that stage Bob and Barbara had only recently purchased the place, which was then occupied by a small, damp 1940s brick-and-timber home (the couple and their five kids had previously spent decades of weekends and holidays in a bach further up the valley). Michael marvelled at the site and later wrote the couple a letter offering his services.
"I told them that if they were interested in building a warm, nurturing home I would be honoured to do something for them," he remembers. Two years later, despite knowing a host of other architects desperate to design something for them on a site like this, Barbara called and asked if they could talk to Michael about what they might build on the property. Why him? "We knew he got us, and he got the site," Bob says simply.
The couple, who still own their family home in west Auckland, told Michael they wanted a retreat, a place to spend their impending retirement immersed in the landscape they love (Bob, who has been a member of the Kare Kare Surf Lifesaving Club for 55 years, is currently chairman of the council-controlled development agency Waterfront Auckland; Barbara, a former midwife, is now a celebrant). "[We wanted it to] be a private space in what has been a very public life," Bob says, "a place to retreat and read and write and think. And for the chance for us to share the time we have with our children."
They knew what they wanted the house to feel like, but how it would look was a completely different matter. To help them decide, Michael created three very different models that he presented simultaneously. The first, a rather conventional structure, was dismissed by Barbara as "looking too much like a house"; a larger, flashier proposal got binned because it looked like "something a wanker mayor in Auckland would own"; the third model – always Michael's preference – was admired for its discretion and intimacy and given the go-ahead. The governing concept, Michael says, is that the house "is the residue of a found object in the sand dunes".
The great challenge of the design was getting light in: the outlook is towards the south, while the hill to the north meant the old home on the site got no sun at all in the coldest months of the year. Michael sited the courtyard of the new home to roughly occupy the footprint of the original dwelling, allowing the living areas to pull away from the shadow of the hill towards the beach. He designed the ceiling to rake steeply towards the north to pull winter sun as far inside as possible and make the courtyard feel like an integral part of the house, a gesture that forces the perspective of the view to the beach into a tight horizontal slot.
The ceiling's cedar weatherboards are the dominant feature of the living space, but they avoid any sense of oppressiveness by appearing to fragment in places, with the boards giving way to double-glazed glass roof panels over the triangular daybed and the long, generous windowsill designed for sitting and gazing at the beach. A cosy secondary living room opens onto the courtyard and can function as a spare bedroom, while Bob and Barbara's bunker-like bedroom offers shelter in a southerly storm.
Some of these features will seem familiar to the close observer. Around the time he was designing Bob and Barbara's house, Michael was building his own family home in Mangere Bridge, a finalist in our Home of the Year award in 2009, and a kind of laboratory for the work he would later do on Bob and Barbara's house. "As I was building Mangere, I was really just trying things for their place," Michael says.
Bob and Barbara would come to observe Michael's experiments with what the architect calls "the intimacy of the spaces" (at 129 square metres, Bob and Barbara's two-bedroom house is just 12 square metres larger than Michael's own compact home), as well as elements such as the weatherboard ceiling and the black bituminous roofing membrane that clads the rear walls of Michael's house and the exterior of Bob and Barbara's. Not that every experiment was resolved by the time Bob and Barbara's house was designed: Michael responded to their desire for a floor that looked like Kare Kare beach's black sand by wheeling barrowloads of it up from the beach and bonding thin layers to the concrete floor with an acrylic polymer.
Flashes of this DIY spirit enliven other parts of the house, creating loose moments in an otherwise tightly organised structure. Reclaimed piles from the old Cornwallis Wharf that Bob wanted incorporated in the building form a jetty that extends the pathway off the eastern side of the home into a makeshift viewing platform; the slot blade light that hangs over the black marble kitchen island was made by Michael for Bob and Barbara for their 40th anniversary.
When the house was completed, Bob and Barbara asked their friend Rewi Spraggon to create a two-panel wall carving representing the Harvey whanau. Elsewhere, they have hung historical photographs of their West Coast environs, while a carving near the door is a taonga given to Bob in 1993 by Te Kawerau a Maki, the tangata whenua of Waitakere. "[The house] is a very strong combination of past, present and future," Bob says.
And while he was happy to embrace this sort of richness, he also confesses to "despising comfort – I like basic things in life and I wanted a house that was strictly functional, which I suppose goes back to my Socialist roots. It's Spartan and stoic". All that depends, of course, on how you define luxury. Out here on the coast on a wet winter's day, the privilege of perching on that long windowsill and gazing out at the beach seems like all the luxury a person could ever need.

How to Identify a Good Forex Trading Platform
The steps for finding a good forex trading platform is essential to a trader's success. There are important things that will require your attention before deciding.
There have to be assurances of adequate security by the creators of such platforms. Encryption has to be standard across the entire platform. Apart from the payment and purchase platforms, the actual trading bits have to ensure your money and identity remain safe.
Security should be a constant thing for the broker, not just at the initial stage. This is to ensure they are not liable in any eventually, as well as providing you with assurance. Your information should also be securely backed up, in case of any IT issues.
You should have the freedom to access the platform any time you wish. Since trading is a constant thing, the website needs to provide you with a constant connection. When the markets are closed, you should still be able to work.
It is also important for the platform to be constantly updated, to avoid you trading on old prices, which can be detrimental to our progress.
It should also have the provision of one-click trading. Such a platform will cost traders heavily on opportunities if it not fat, seamless, and reliable. No trader wishes to be in a lower quality platform.
The kind of trading practices they make available to their customers needs to be considered also. The language should be easy to understand, and there should be more trading options than forex for your consideration.
The usage of such a platform should be spread across different devices and operating systems.
Important notifications should also be accessible at any time so that no good opportunity to profit goes to waste.
Charts should also be available straight from the platform. The access to these charts should also be diversified across different devices and operating systems.
Experienced traders need a platform that has the ability to provide pattern recognition instruments, to ensure they are more informed of market shifts that can prove lucrative. The charts in use have to always up to date.
Information on market analysis reports does not have to be a struggle to attain. A good platform makes it available. News feeds and in-house research are some of the more important ones. Access to this information does not have to be a hassle. Historical data should also be readily available.
The platform should be free to use, with the only cost what you lose in case of a bad trade. Extra charges need to cover more benefits for the trader.
Customer support is critical for a good platform. Any future issues should have a person ready to handle them, not just assistance on the initial purchase period.
There hold be no limit as to what time customer care can be reached.
It is important to use a demo account before getting the real thing. These accounts are meant to prepare new traders for the real world challenges.
Synergy FX is a great forex trading platform to work with. They Cater to most of the traders requirements. They also offer excellent customer services.

Today we are going to see some pictures of some of the greatest chess players. It is nice to see them in a casual way as they remind us that they are humans after all. 🙂 Yes, it's time to see 10 rare photos of chess legends you've probably never seen!
1. Here is a coloured picture of Capablanca vs Alekhine, 1913.
2. How nice it is to see Garry Kasparov at a young age!
3. A photo of Samuel Reshevsky, age 8, defeating several chess masters at once in France, 1920!
Following the events of World War 1, Reshevsky immigrated to the United States (1920). As a 9-year old, his first American simultaneous exhibition was with 20 officers and cadets at the Military Academy at West Point. He won 19 games and drew one.
4. This is the Bobby Fischer we don't get shown very often. The Bobby who loved Chess and others who loved Chess. To him they were Family.
You can see that the kids are wearing 'River Plate' and 'Boca Juniors' t-shirts, which are the 2 most important soccer teams in Argentina.
5. "I'll be Black." – Arnold Schwarzenegger
Who do you think won this game? 🙂
6. Here is a very nice photo of Mikhail Tal playing with his daughter Zhanna.
7. Tony Miles and Roman Dzindzichashvili at play in Tilburg, 1985. Due to back problems, Miles played his games in this tournament on this table in order to alleviate the pain. Dzindzi's "protest" was to play his entire game standing up!
8. Is this the secret of Judit Polgar?
Bobby Fischer visited the Polgar's in 1993, and Judit was already a strong GM by that time, qualifying for the Interzonal before his visit. In an interview, Judit said "Well, he was an amazing chess talent, a true genius! Unfortunately in his last years we did not see that ability of him; on the contrary, we saw mainly his negative declarations. Apart from being completely paranoid, I remember him as someone in good disposition to eat, he loved to eat!"
9. Young Carlsen playing against Viktor Korchnoi.
Back in 2011, 80-year-old legend Victor Korchnoi said in an interview that he firmly believed Carlsen has achieved his success due to "hypnotic abilities". He said "I don't see that Carlsen has the chess ability and I can't understand at all how he achieves such incredible success. I can guess why, but it's got no direct relation to chess."
10. Fischer and Tal, Candidates Tournament, 1959.

Comment: It is certainly important to start considering the implications of scientific possibility well in advance of actual clinical utility for effective policy development and implementation planning. Public acceptability is an important early criterion for success. In this instance, if the CRISPR technique were shown to be useful and reliable in humans then it would eliminate many of the technical barriers to the safe manipulation of human genomes and could revolutionise treatment for inherited diseases. This would also highlight attendant ethical issues for public consideration. Often, ethical concerns and safety concerns are closely linked; wider separation of the two can sharpen (and indeed polarise) debate around an issue.

Dirk Jan Povel
Povel made an important contribution to our understanding of the perception of rhythmic patterns reported in a number of highly cited studies. He retired from Radboud University and at the Nijmegen Institute for Information and Cognition (NICI) in November 2005. He taught a few thousand students and was deeply involved in theoretical and applied research in a number of fields. Most notably theoretical and applied research related to speech perception and speech production, the perception of temporal patterns and musical rhythms, and the production of serial motor patterns. More recently he has been doing research on the on-line processes of music perception to discover the perceptual mechanisms listeners use in coding music (see for more information here).

Exactly 11 days after my last post, God threw another curve in the road of our life. I never expected to find myself in the pediatric ICU with my baby boy, but that's where we ended up.
Fortunately the stay was short, just two days, but he left with a new normal - Type 1 Diabetes. Came out of nowhere, really. It doesn't run in our family, so we were a bit surprised that he should get this. They say a virus can cause it to begin. Who would have thought?
People have asked me how I knew. Because there seems to be quite the occurrence of this nowadays, I'd like to share with you how I knew because the fact that someone had shared their story with me was lifesaving to my son.
My best friend from forever has a son who was diagnosed with T1 last May. Over the summer we got together and she shared her journey with me. Fortunately, it wasn't something that my overworked brain forgot.
I noticed on Saturday, the 23rd, that my son had gone to the bathroom two times within a short period of time. This, for him, was not that unusual so I didn't think much of it at the time. Later that night, however, I saw him get out of bed and go into the bathroom twice within about half an hour. I had a quiet voice in my head tell me to pay attention to that. I immediately thought of my friend's son. I sat in bed with my kindle that night looking up the common symptoms of Type 1.
- Frequent urination ✔
- Increased thirst ✔
- Increased hunger ✔
- Fatigue ✔
Although I have to say that he didn't come to me and tell me he was thirsty and hungry, he just kept asking for more to eat and drink. He had told me all of the week prior how tired he was. My response? "Try going to bed earlier!"
It wasn't until I looked at the symptoms all together and thought about the past few weeks that I saw the pattern. Otherwise, life is life and you tend to ignore all of the "I'm thirsty" and "I'm hungry" statements.
While he didn't have the blurred vision or tingling hands and feet, when he came downstairs on Sunday, he did look like, all of a sudden, he had lost a lot of weight. His face looked sunken in and his arms looked very skinny. Just like that! Some of the kids said they had noticed on Saturday how skinny he looked, but we hadn't.
I thought back to my friend and remembered her telling me about checking her son's urine for ketones. I knew you could go to the pharmacy and get strips so after Mass we headed to Walgreens and picked up our first bottle of urine strips. Once home we tested him twice. Both times he tested Moderate/High. Yikes. I called my friend just to go over what was going on and she told us to head to the ER with him now before he started vomiting, which would be the next thing that would begin to happen.
It wasn't long before he was being admitted to the ICU and hooked up to his insulin drip. At that point his blood glucose level was 524.
Over the next two days we learned more about insulin, shots, glucose checks and diabetes than I ever wanted to learn. We were sent home with a dazed look in our eyes. It was like coming home with your first baby and thinking, "What on earth am I supposed to do with this kid to keep him alive".
It's been quite the ride these past three weeks. There's more to be said but, I think that, for now, this is enough. Please keep us all in your prayers as we navigate this new normal for our family.
God Bless!

Dear Diva,
Every night my boyfriend comes home and smokes weed and lays around. Sometimes his friends come over, too, smoking with him. He doesn't help around the house. I do all the chores. I'm also in recovery. Pot is not as bad as heroin or cocaine, but I don't like being around any drugs. I've been clean for 18 months.
