What if the musician Darryl McDaniels had become a superhero instead of a founding member of Run-DMC?
DMC No. 1, the first in a series of comic books that arrives in stores on Wednesday, imagines just such a scenario. For Mr. McDaniels, who conceived of the premise and worked with a team to make the project a reality, DMC is a celebration of his lifelong love of comics.
"I was a kid who had my lunch money taken away," Mr. McDaniels said recently at the Midtown offices of Atlantic Records. The neighborhood bullies in Hollis, Queens, he said, had decided he was rich because of his Catholic school uniform. "To get to my house was terror. Spider-Man took me to a place where everything was great."
The world presented in DMC also needs a beacon of hope. It's 1985, and New York is crime-ridden, graffiti-stained and simmering with racial tension. The hero — dressed in an Adidas tracksuit and sneakers, with brass knuckles embossed with "D.M.C." — is doing his part to protect the powerless. He shuns the spotlight and is largely silent, in contrast to his real-life alter ego, who is enthusiastically chatty about his foray into comic-book publishing.
"I always wanted to do something with integrity," Mr. McDaniels said. "I didn't want to be another rapper messing up another genre just because he has a hit record."
The experience of putting together the comic was "like this sancocho," a Latin American stew, said Edgardo Miranda-Rodriguez, the editor in chief of Darryl Makes Comics, which publishes the book. There was input from Riggs Morales, an executive at Atlantic Records, and the story consultants Damion Scott and Ron Wimberly, and the comic was drawn by several artists.
Along the way, the team realized it represented, and appealed to, an untapped market that Mr. Morales affectionately calls "B-boy geeks." Mr. Morales said that made him wonder: "How can I get into business in this genre and still speak to my audience?"
Mr. Morales and Mr. Miranda-Rodriguez first realized the passion of this B-boy subculture when they worked on the 2009 exhibition "Marvelous Color," about Marvel's minority superheroes and artists, a show that attracted boldface names from hip-hop and comics. A similar exhibition, "DMC Released," running through Nov. 7 at the Hi-Arts Studio Gallery in Harlem, was organized partly by Carlos Rodriguez, the artist known as Mare 139, who also contributed graffiti art to the book.
Mr. Miranda-Rodriguez is proud of the diverse fans that the comic has attracted at conventions. "One of the things I love to do is put it back to the audience," he said. "Take a moment and look around the room. This is reflective of what the demographic is for this book. It's Asian, it's white, it's Latino, it's black, it's 13-year-olds, it's 63-year-olds."
That variety is reflected in the first issue of DMC, which has an economically, ethnically and sexually diverse cast of characters. That should be natural for a comic set in New York, but few achieve it so unobtrusively. Behind the scenes, the comic's story and pinups were predominantly drawn by Latino and African-American artists.
Getting DMC off the ground has not always been easy. In July of last year, a Kickstarter goal of $100,000 petered out at $5,537. Mr. McDaniels ended up funding the project himself.
It is a way for him to give back. "Comic books were educational — they were empowering but also inspiring," he said. His parents pushed him academically, and he honored them by making his fictional alter ego a high school teacher. He also pays homage to his bandmate Jam Master Jay, Run-DMC's D.J. and unofficial stylist, who was killed in 2002.
"He's Darryl's Q," Mr. Miranda-Rodriguez said, referring to the intelligence officer who supplies James Bond with his gadgetry.
He's more like Racer X, said Mr. McDaniels, naming the protective older brother of Speed Racer.
In the comic, our hero visits a clothing store seeking a better outfit, since his current one is in tatters after a battle. The owner, Jase, presents him with a new uniform, which he describes as, referring to Run-DMC's 1988 album of the same title, "tougher than leather."

Seton Hall dismissed Bobby Gonzalez on Wednesday, ending his tumultuous four-year tenure as men's basketball coach a day after an ignominious first-round loss in the National Invitation Tournament and the arrest of a player who had been kicked off the team.
Gonzalez was 66-59 in four seasons at Seton Hall, and his teams did not make an N.C.A.A. tournament. He received a contract extension last year, which was to run through 2015, but his future was clouded by dissatisfaction with his fiery personality.
The Pirates' loss to Texas Tech in the N.I.T. on Tuesday night was marred by the ejection of the star forward Herb Pope, who punched an opposing player in the groin. Gonzalez also received his seventh technical foul of the season.
A former Pirates player, Robert Mitchell, was arrested on Tuesday in Newark and charged with kidnapping, robbery, burglary and possession of a weapon, according to a law enforcement official in Essex County, N.J. Mitchell and another person were accused of breaking into a home in South Orange, N.J., duct-taping eight people and stealing credit and debit cards, driver's licenses, cellphones, digital cameras and about $300. The police did not identify the other person.
After Mitchell fled in a vehicle that the police later recovered, at least one of the people freed himself and called the authorities.Continue reading the main story
The Essex County prosecutor's office said Mitchell could face more than 20 years in prison if convicted. The authorities held him on $650,000 bail, and an arraignment was scheduled for Thursday in Newark.
Last weekend, Gonzalez kicked Mitchell off the team for making comments critical of Gonzalez. Mitchell, a 23-year-old junior from Brooklyn, was quoted in The Herald-News as saying, "It's hard to stay consistent as a player, when the coach isn't consistent."
Gonzalez said he threw Mitchell off the team for a combination of events, not just the critical comments.
Patrick E. Hobbs, who is dean of Seton Hall Law School and has been overseeing the athletic department since July, announced Gonzalez's firing in a statement released by the university.
"Performance and success are not measured solely by wins and losses, but also in the conduct of those associated with the program," Hobbs said. "We have expectations as to how our coaches and players will conduct themselves, and they are expected to treat everyone they interact with, whether officials, the press or our students, with the utmost respect, maturity and professionalism. Those core expectations must be met."
Hobbs said in a telephone interview Wednesday night that the decision to replace Gonzalez was made before the university learned of Mitchell's arrest.
In a conference call, Hobbs confirmed that the contract extension given to Gonzalez was at no additional financial risk to the university. It was not known how many years of Gonzalez's deal Seton Hall must pay off, but Hobbs made it clear that Gonzalez would not receive guaranteed money through the length of his contract.
Having to pay off a portion of the contract will be difficult for Seton Hall, which just cut four sports to save $1.5 million a year. Seton Hall did not respond when asked if this was a "for cause" termination, which would result in no liability for the university.
In a conference call, Msgr. Robert Sheeran, the university president, expressed disappointment over the scene at Tuesday's N.I.T. game, where, in addition to the punch and Gonzalez's technical foul, the sparse crowd in Newark chanted, "Fire Bobby!"
"Obviously anyone who saw the game saw a crystallization of all that was really wrong with the coaching and the leadership," Sheeran said. "We were certainly moving in this direction for some days."
Gonzalez was brought in after Louis Orr was fired as coach with two years left on his contract in a season in which he made the N.C.A.A. tournament. Two of Athletic Director Joe Quinlan's biggest criticisms in firing Orr were his recruiting and his management of the program.
Gonzalez did neither well. He struggled to tap into the wealth of New Jersey talent and filled his roster with high-risk, second-chance players like Mitchell, a transfer from Duquesne. Pope had been arrested for drinking and driving before he transferred to Seton Hall from New Mexico State.
In November, Keon Lawrence, a junior guard who transferred from Missouri, was arrested after driving the wrong way on the Garden State Parkway and causing a two-car accident. Lawrence was charged with assault by auto and driving with a suspended license. Gonzalez suspended Lawrence, whose criminal case is pending.
"Nobody can question his commitment to win," Hobbs said of Gonzalez. "But we have other expectations as well about how we represent this university."
Gonzalez had been a divisive figure in his previous job, at Manhattan College. In an interview last week, Bob Byrnes, the Manhattan athletic director when Gonzalez coached there, called him unprofessional and selfish and compared his attitude to that of a teenager.
Gonzalez had plenty of success at Manhattan, twice leading the Jaspers to the N.C.A.A. tournament. But Byrnes said that with the victories came problems: a coach so difficult to handle that he would not consider bringing him back.
Seton Hall ended up finding the same thing, as the Pirates improved every year under Gonzalez and were 19-13 this season. But Hobbs noted a "continuation and pattern of leadership that we did not want representing Seton Hall."
Seton Hall's muddled administration now faces a critical decision. Quinlan is working without a contract, Sheeran is retiring this summer and Hobbs has relatively minimal experience in athletics.
Candidates could include Richmond's Chris Mooney, Vermont's Mike Lonergan, Siena's Fran McCaffery, Cornell's Steve Donahue, Robert Morris's Mike Rice, Iona's Kevin Willard and Hofstra's Tom Pecora.
"It's essential for us to work quickly, efficiently and wisely in hiring someone new so we don't lose a year," Quinlan said. "That's why this is happening now rather than later. We don't want to lose anything in transition."Continue reading the main story

Time for reforms running out, Kit Siang warns Najib
The Malaysian Insider
The BN still has some 19 months to go before its mandate ends in March 2013, but Najib, whose popularity dipped six points in a recent opinion poll, is widely expected to call for general elections by the end of this year to avoid the repercussions of a predicted gloomy global economy next year.
"Malaysians flew the national flag yesterday but most of them have a common disquieting question — Quo Vadis Malaysia?" the senior opposition leader asked. (The Latin phrase translates to 'where are you going, Malaysia?')
Lim noted that many of yesterday's National Day messages from the ruling coalition's component party leaders called for Malaysians of diverse racial and religious backgrounds to be more united, moderate and tolerant of each other, which the DAP stalwart claimed had fallen flat.
This, Lim said, was because of the present-day "divisive and discordant" national landscape, coupled with Najib's inability to stamp his mark as a leader.
The Ipoh-Timur MP pointed to what he described as "irresponsible and reckless attempts to polarise the country along race and religious lines", and gave as an example government broadcaster RTM's recent show in the run-up to National Day that reportedly linked several DAP leaders and the chairman of Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) to a Facebook group calling itself "Murtads in Malaysia & Singapore".
"Lies have become the staple diet served by the mainstream media, whether the canard that DAP wants to create a Christian Malaysia and have a Christian prime minister or the falsehood that the PAS deputy president Mat Sabu glorified the communists and regarded Datuk Onn Jaafar and Bapa Malaysia Tunku Abdul Rahman as traitors," Lim said in a statement today.
He said such efforts were not helping to unite Malaysia's multiracial and multireligious people, but the opposite.
Lim stressed that if Najib was serious and sincere in being PM for all, he must "walk the talk to provide leadership or be exposed as a purveyor of empty slogans", listing the numerous government and economic reform policies that have been rolled out, revised and delayed since the latter took office in April 2009.
"The successful Bersih rally of July 9 is proof that if Najib and those in power refuse to act, then ordinary Malaysians whether Malays, Chinese, Indians, Kadazans, Ibans or Orang Asli, whether Muslims, Buddhists, Christians, Hindus, Taoists, Confucianists or Sikhs are prepared to act in unison to save Malaysia," Lim said.
A recent opinion poll by local research house Merdeka Center found over two-thirds of Malaysians agree with the demands mooted by electoral reform group Bersih 2.0 while close to half disagreed with the way Putrajaya handled the July 9 rally and the events leading up to it.
Bersih 2.0 has demanded that Putrajaya execute eight electoral reforms before the next general election and said it will step up its outreach programme for further support ahead of national polls.

We're on holiday. Holiday! Hah! It's a change of scene here in sunny Suffolk but not a rest. And in light of the promise to myself to update these musings a least weekly (ish), what better subject to ramble on about whilst on holiday than MELTDOWNS!
Deep breath. Here goes...
I thought the Bell had embarked upon Terrible Twos a few months ago. You know, she'd thrown the odd wobbly, refused to wear her mittens from time to time, burst into tears inexplicably now and again. That sort of thing. Classic Terrible Twos right?
No Siree!
Let it be remembered. Friday 19th April 2013 at 10.24am. Twas the day the Bell opened her Terrible Twos account in absolute earnest. To say the least it was a shit trifle challenging of a day for me.
The meltdown
We arrived at our usual Friday morning playgroup in a local community hall. It was the first session back after the Easter holidays and from the word go the Bell was not on top form. My big sell to her earlier that morning, as we waged civil war over getting a jumper over her Peppa t-shirt, was that the community hall would have been redecorated over the Easter holidays. That had been the plan anyway. It would be bright, airy and FUN FUN FUN. But nothing had been done.
The Bell was less than impressed. Or she was just in a crap mood?
My heart sank.
A playgroup occasionally gives me the opportunity to relax, just for a bit, to have a coffee and to talk to people over the age of five years old for a bit. I like it. It keeps me going. It reminds me of how I used to socialise at paid work.
But erm, sorry, that just wasn't gonna happen today Dadda.
Now if the Bell is usually more Lady Mary Crawley (Downtown Abbey, Upstairs, Refined), the moment she was set free the from the buggy she became more O'Brien (Downstairs, lady's maid, watchful, in the mood for revenge) as she set about righting the twin injustices of a playing environment needing a lick of paint and being forced to wear a tomato-sauce-stained Next jumper over her beloved Peppa t-shirt. And after ten minutes she had successfully completed just about every annoying available act to her at a playgroup.
• Pushed and scrapped chairs around the hall. CHECK.
• Eaten play-doh and glue. CHECK.
• Woken a young mother's baby sleeping in a push chair. CHECK.
Now she wanted more.
Fast forward 20mins or so and the Bell really was absolutely itching for WAR. She was ready for the mother of all battles and unfortunately it was her brother who was to light the meltdown litmus paper.
The duo were quietly pottering around a table of paints and glue (not actually painting or glueing you understand) when the E-Man had the audacity of merely LOOKING at Maisy Goes To Nursery, a book which because the Bell enjoys at at home (along with the other 14,000 books available to her) clearly in her eyes blatantly violated Rule 502: Toddlers Don't Share Under Article 8(5).
What followed was pure hell theatre as the Bell chased E-Man around the table in hot pursuit of Maisy Goes To Nursery which the E-Man wasn't about to relinquish. No Siree.
Now I have been attending playgroups for the past 26 months, 11 days, 10 hours and 12 minutes, 14 seconds (I'm slightly tiring of the circuit, get it!) but I like this one and the people who run and attend it. This was EMBARRASSING. We all go to playgroups where toddlers occasionally let rip and I we quietly tut at the misbehaving toddlers as my our cherubs play on. But this time it was my angels creating havoc. This time it was my charges reinventing the concept of Terrible Twos Tantrums - but I had two of them at it! WHAT!
Shocked mothers, some breast feeding, withdrew their babies and toddlers to all corners of the room. Some even headed for the exit doors only to be thwarted immediate escape by scores of baby buggies cluttering the way.
Now, in the normal course of events, dealing with the tantrums would have been obvious. I would calmly remind myself that the E-Man and the Bell are naturally very NEGATIVE during this challenging period in their lives. I would reflect on the fact that their tantrums are a sign of their frustration with me the world and their inability to communicate this frustration.
My immediate options were clear:
• Ignore them and walk away. (Too embarrassing, too many people were watching).
• Use calming techniques to lower my own stress levels, like deep breathing, positive talking inside my head and more coffee. (But I didn't want to look like a freak).
• Talk calmly to each of them: 'Don't worry E-man, I'm here. I won't let you hurt yourself.' (To both at them to same time?)
• Hold each of them tightly (Ditto: at the same time?)
• Calling a 'time out' and asking each of them to retreat to a safe but boring corner to cool down. (But anywhere safe was now inhabited by other quivering toddlers).
So which option did I take?
I got the hell out of dodge.
And it was as I was attempting to straightjacket each of them into their buggy that my personal humiliation was complete. What happened next comes waaaaay top of the list of the cringingly bad and embarrassing moments for any mum or dad.
Another mum had to help me strap one of my toddlers into the buggy.
Is there another scenario more embarrassing for any stay-at-home dad? (Well, for me it would be being asked my a breastfeeding mum to please leave the playroom. It hasn't happened yet, but I read about such a scenario in the Daily Mail Online).
We left in shame... my self-esteem in shatters.
Getting home all I wanted to do was plonk myself on the sofa and shed a tear. But I couldn't. We needed to pack as we were going on holiday.

I watched all three seasons in four days. Yes, four days of pretty much not doing anything but. I'd heard about the series and never really understood what the fuss was all about. My friend lent me Season 1 and I was hooked. Such intrigue, such juiciness.
Zoë's picture above has nothing whatsoever to do with Downton Abbey, although she did watch a couple of episodes with me. I just feel like posting it because I so love her mischievous smile in this photo.

NEWTOWN, Conn. (CT STYLE) — For Susana Lang, exercise is a big part of her life.
"I play soccer three times a week and I enjoy Zumba five times a week," Lang said.
But painful varicose veins around Lang's knees were keeping her from the activities she loves.
"When [I] stop doing exercise, I feel bad," Lang explained. "I feel like my body [is] missing something."
So Lang decided to get help at the Vein Institute of Connecticut where they treat a range of venous conditions.
"It's extremely common," said Alex Afshar, M.D., founder of the Vein Institute of Connecticut. "I would say about 25 percent of the population suffer from some sort of vein disease and a large percentage of those people become very symptomatic."
Dr. Afshar performed three different procedures to get rid of Lang's pesky problem. First was radiofrequency ablation, where a catheter is inserted into the vein supplying the problem area with blood.
"Then under local anesthesia, the heat that's emitted from all these generators, like laser and radiofrequency, they denature the protein inside the vein wall causing the vein to collapse," Dr. Afshar explained. "Once that is compressed for a few days, the body gets rid of it and the circulation improves as a whole."
Next, Dr. Afshar performed ambulatory phlebectomy to remove surrounding varicose veins.
"This is under local anesthesia," Dr. Afshar said. "We go in with a special needle and a special hook and remove those incompetent, failed bulging veins."
Lastly, a medical detergent was injected into Lang's spider veins. The procedure, called sclerotherapy, causes those small veins to collapse.
"And eventually the body reabsorbs those spider veins and they go away," Dr. Afshar said.
"I feel so comfortable," Lang said of the procedures. "I don't feel any pain. It's so easy."
Today Lang's unsightly and painful veins have all but disappeared.
"I feel great," Lang said. "It's like I have my new legs. That's what I say to the doctor."
She's back on the field and dancing to music.
"I go into the gym every single day," she said. "I do kickboxing, I do my Zumba, I play soccer. Oh my goodness, I feel great."
The Vein Institute of Connecticut has offices in Fairfield, Newtown and Westport.

For ECConf Church Planters:As we unveiled and discussed at our recent Cohort gatherings, we're now shifting to a new online reporting process!
Monthly Reporting is now handled in two parts,
always Due by the 10th of each month:
Part 1 | Church Planter-Specific:
Monthly Church Planter Report
- this is a simple online google form you can start using immediately for any reports, past or current
- you'll also receive a monthly reminder at the beginning of each month
- going forward these are always due by the 10th (including your up-to-date data for ChurchMetrics.com)
Part 2 | Church-Specific:
- you should start using this immediately for current data entry (we'll handle older data separately, so don't worry about that for now)
- the only "reminder" will be the Monthly Church Planter Report form asking for confirmation, so...
- you will need to enlist a few volunteers for a weekly rhythm, with a few monthly-only inputs
Login Info
- as I'm setting this up, you'll start receiving emails from ChurchMetrics.com with details of the login account created for you
- the current plan is for two or three logins for each church:
- 1) one specific to each church planter, with username = "firstlast" (e.g. "jasoncondon")
- 2) "[Church Name] Staff", and
- 3) Optional: "[Church Name] Volunteer"
- each with the associated "staff" and "volunteer" permission levels for data entry and access (I'm currently the only "admin")
- initially you'll have "Staff" level permissions to enter and edit data for current weeks (not for past data entry)
- we may also try out the "Volunteer" login for pure data entry, but not sure it will work as well as just using "Staff"
- Make sure you try it yourself and share your church's login info with just one or two trusted staff or key volunteers so they can test it out before you include other volunteers
Date Entry [Updated 02-15-2013]:
- Weekly Data Entry - ideally these are entered by volunteers during the worship service or immediately following
- Attendance [this is only adults, including all staff and volunteers, as well as those there just for Worship]
- Attendance - Kids
- Attendance - Visitors (First Time)
- Contributions [local tithes and offerings]
- Salvations
- Volunteers
- *Midweek Giving? [you may find this useful for entering online giving, otherwise add off-Sunday giving into the next Sunday]
- We're simplifying further by removing these (some may show up again on the Church Planter Report (google form):
PEOPLE-2: Membership [this shouldn't change much from week to week :), but having it "weekly" is better for tracking and graphing] Monthly Data Entry - ideally these are entered within a week of the last Sunday of the month, and definitely before the 10th, primarily by volunteers such as your finance person $ IN-1: Appropriations Received (by end of month) $ IN-1: Appropriations Received (by end of month ) $ IN-2: Outside Fundraising (by end of month) $ IN-3: Special Funds (by end of month) $ OUT-1: Month's Budgeted Expenses $ OUT-2: Non-Budgeted Expenses (by end of month) $ OUT-3: Mission Giving: Covenant 8% $ OUT-4: Mission Giving: ECConf 7% $ ONBOOKS-1: Fund Balance (at end of month) $ ONBOOKS-2: Total Past Due Bills (at end of month)
- Video Tutorials: vimeo.com/churchmetrics/videos
- not all will relate to you, but you may want to check out:
- How to Add New Users (while only an "admin" can do this, it will explain what each type can do)
- Overview of Tabs - overview of the dashboard, reports, charts, and input tabs.
- How to Create Widgets - so you can create your own customized dashboard of data for your church "campus"
- Input & Volunteer Suggestions:
- have "ushers" do worship attendance count and enter on their smartphone
- have head children's worker do kid count and enter on their smartphone
- have one of the offering counters enter amount as part of their counting workflow
- have finance person enter monthly amounts
- etc.
Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
Much grace,
Jason R. Condon
Associate Superintendent
Director of Church Planting

I am trapped in a man's world. But of another kind. For many years, medical science believed that bleeding disorders such as Hemophilia only affect boys and men. And so even as I grew up experiencing heavy monthly bleeds, doctors never considered me a candidate for a bleeding disorder.
As a group, bleeding disorders are rare. It is caused either by a defect or absence of a certain protein in the blood called factor, affecting the person's ability to clot naturally. There are 13 factors in our blood and when one of it is missing, it will cause a bleeding disorder.
Hemophilia A (Factor VIII deficieny) affects 1 in every 5,000 males. Hemophilia B (Factor IX deficiency) affects 1 in every 25,000 males. The most common type, von Willebrand Disease (von Willebrand Factor deficency), affects one percent of the population.
Bleeding disorders, particularly Hemophilia A and B are usually sex-linked. When a mother carries the hemophilia gene, she is more likely to pass it on to her male offspring. On the other hand, males are likely to pass it on to their female offspring.
How Hemophilia is passed on
The National Intitutes for Health explains that chromosomes come in pairs. Females have two X chromosomes, while males have one X and one Y chromosome. Only the X chromosome carries the genes related to clotting factors.
The genes associated with these conditions are located in the X chromosome, which is one of the two sex chromosomes.
In males, who have only one X chromosome, one altered copy of the gene in each cell is sufficient to cause the condition.
In females, who have two X chromosomes, a mutation would have to occur in both copies of the gene to cause the disorder. Because it is unlikely that females will have two altered copies of this gene, it is very rare for females to have Hemophilia. A characteristic of X-linked inheritance is that fathers cannot pass X-linked traits to their sons.
Other types of bleeding disorders
But there are other types of bleeding disorders that are not sex-linked. Thus, any parent can pass on the defective gene to their offspring. Likewise, there have been a number of documented cases where supposed "carriers" actually show symptoms of the disorder themselves. And of supposed X-linked type that do not skip children of the same gender.
Mother's death
My family is an example of a bleeding disorder that is not sex-linked (or autosomal, in medical term). My mother who died of excessive blood loss in 1988 during a biopsy operation. Even though she insisted that she had bleeding tendencies, doctors refused to believe. Bleeding disorders only happen in boys and men, they said.
Our diagnosis
Fast forward to 2006. My daughter Star had been nosebleeding daily for a month in a row. She was born in 1998 with bruises all over her body. At three weeks old, we rushed her to the emergeny room after she had a nosebleed. That was the first. I suggested to her attending doctors that she could have inherited my mother's bleeding problem. But they said it could not be possible. She's a girl.
Mother's instinct told me that something was just not right. And so when her nosebleeds became more frequent in 2006, we decided to go abroad to have her tested one more time. Because of my family history, the doctor tested me as well. Three months later, the results came out — Star and I both have von Willebrand Disease (Type 2M), a type of bleeding disorder also known as pseudo-hemophilia.
Into the unknown
Suddenly, we were thrust into the unknown. Bleeding disorders are rare. But bleeding disorders in girls and women are even more rare. Back in the Philippines, there were hardly any girls and women diagnosed with it at that time.
With a young daughter affected by a disorder that caused my mother's death, I became determined to fight it. I would not allow bleeding to consume us. Never again. It deprived me and my siblings of a mother's love in our teenage years. I would not allow it to deprive my daughter of living a normal life.
Advocating for people with bleeding disorders
Our diagnosis led me to advocate for people with bleeding disorders. I wrote to all hemophilia societies and organizations I encountered in the internet. One of those who wrote me back was a kind lady name Laurie Kelley. Following the diagnosis of her son with Hemophilia A, she founded a humanitarian organization called Project SHARE.
In 2008, Laurie came to the Philippines and it started my involvement as volunteer of Project SHARE and Save One Life, another non-profit that she founded.
I went around the country with Laurie and in our fact-finding mission, I found out that about 90 percent of the patients are poor. Many die because of lack of access to proper treatment. Hemophilia is one of the most expensive diseases to treat. According to a Forbes magazine article, treatment could cost an average of US$62,000 a year.
Ironically, it was my contact with Laurie Kelley that led me to the local group — the Hemophilia Association of the Philippines for Love and Service (HAPLOS), the national organization for people with bleeding disorders.
Project SHARE has been instrumental in saving people with Hemophilia through donated medicines called factor concentrates. These are concentrated forms of the missing or defective components in the blood of people with the disorder.
Save One Life, on the other hand, gives financial assistance to poor patients. Both organizations have changed lives of thousands of people with Hemophilia and bleeding disorders in developing countries including the Philippines.
My Girls Blood
In 2011, I joined a global social network of women with bleeding disorders called My Girls Blood founded by Cheryl D' Ambrosio, a Seattle-based step-mom of two ladies with Factor V deficiency.
Blessing in disguise
Volunteering in the hemophilia community takes so much of my time, and sometimes, zaps me of energy. There were times when I visit patients and all I could do was to cry with them and offer prayers. Yet, it has helped me more than I have helped others. Many times, people, even those I no longer remember, would come up or send messages of appreciation. But unknown to them, I am even more grateful.
They say illnesses are curses. But to me, our bleeding disorder has become a blessing. It enabled me to look beyond my family's own needs. Yes, my daughter and I constantly need blood. Yes, monthly hospital confinements are our "normal." But it has also widened my horizon. It taught me resilience. It also led me to meet many wonderful people around the world. There are patients, mothers, wives, sisters and girl friends whose dedication are awe-inspiring.
There's Laurie, whose humanitarian organizations touched lives of thousands across the world. There's Cheryl, who started a global movement for women with bleeding disorders. There's Nabila, who has passionately led her women's group in her region and changed how men look at women in her country — at least in the Hemophilia community. There's my Star, who at 16 has accomplished more than I had at her age. And there are so many other women, whose concerted efforts changed mindsets and opened the eyes of the male-dominated world of hemophilia.
We may be women trapped in men's world. But together, slowly but surely, we have made a difference. Happy women's day to us all!

Hôpital d'instruction des armées Percy
The Hôpital d'instruction des armées Percy or HIA Percy (meaning "Percy Training Hospital of the Armies") is a military hospital in Clamart, near Paris, France. It is managed by the Service de santé des armées (French Defence Health service) and provides health services to both military and civilian patients. It is named after Pierre-François Percy, military surgeon during the napoleonic wars.
The hospital has, in particular, an emergency service, a service for treating severe burns, and a service for treating patients contaminated by radioactivity (including a hematological service).
Notable patients[edit]
The hospital has treated several heads of state and other notable individuals.
Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat was treated at Percy hospital from October 29, 2004 until his death on November 11, 2004. During his stay at Percy, he had fallen into an increasingly deeper coma despite intensive care.
Bassel Fleihan, a Lebanese legislator and Minister of Economy and Commerce was treated at Percy, having suffered major burns on 95% of his body when a massive bomb exploded on the Beirut seafront as he passed by in former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik al-Hariri's motorcade on February 14, 2005. Despite being seated beside Hariri, who was killed when the explosion occurred, Fleihan lived through the attack and was airlifted to Percy where he survived for 64 days before succumbing to his injuries.
Zambian president Levy Mwanawasa was admitted to hospital 1 July 2008 to receive treatment following a stroke he suffered on 29 June.[1][2] He died in hospital on 19 August 2008.[3]

Neighborhood Walk
Walks have always served as a catalyst for clarity in my life; they give me time to organize my thoughts and pray and think and not think. My usual walk cuts a path out the back door of my office, around the parking lot, up W. Washington street towards the post office, across Hudson, and back down W. Washington. On my way I pass housing projects, the Miracle Hill Rescue Mission, and people. People—that's the important part. I see a lot of things, but I miss the people too often; usually I'm distracted by my own thoughts and problems. Every so often though I pull myself out of my own head long enough to see the truly wonderful life around me. These times are essential; these times are poetry. In my life, poetry has served as a means of observation and remembrance. I memorize and write poetry to accomplish these two purposes, to see and hear in a meaningful way. "Neighborhood Walk" is one such instance.

ISARA Soft Structured Carrier
ISARA Baby Carriers is the passion of Monica Olariu who began her company after having difficulty finding a carrier to fit her and her son in her home of Romania. After visiting the United Kingdom and seeing the options available, she was energized to begin a new step in her babywearing adventure. The name of the company is Filipino for close. The main mission of the ISARA carrier is to give parents the ability to maintain a close bond to their child. The product line includes stretchy wraps, ergonomic soft structured carriers in both standard and toddler size, custom conversions, cold weather SSC covers, and babywearing accessories.
The ISARA soft structured carrier is available three styles, Organic, Cotton, and Wrap Conversion. The Organic carrier line features an all decorative cotton layer and organic cotton inner layer. The Cotton carriers feature decorative cotton layers with decorative panel and matching print for legs out padding with twill body panel and inner panels. The Wrap Conversion carrier is sewn from two layers of soft twill in solid colors of 100% organic cotton woven wrap fabric from the French company Colimaçon & Cie. The attention to detail for the stitching and comfort of the wearer and the baby is evident. The carriers are available in two sizes, standard suitable for babies between 8 and 40 pounds, and toddler up to 44 pounds. We tested the Wrap Conversion in Raspberry and the Standard size.
The standard size carrier arrived in a vibrant pink color called Raspberry. The stitching was neat, coordinated to the color of the carrier, and nearly invisible. The waistband is contoured, angling up at the hips with the buckle resting on a padded section of the waistband. This prevented the buckles from resting against the skin of the wearer and ensured that this weight bearing section of the carrier insulated the wearer from discomfort. Padded lightly in the waistband, the contouring gives a good distribution of baby's weight and fit to the hips. The waistband expands from as narrow as 27 inches up to 58 inch waists, making it a good fit for the petite figure. Seat darting, legs out padding, and detachable hood only begin to round up the amenities of the carrier. The waistband features a narrowing option, allowing the carrier body to be reduced in width by an additional three inches on both sides. This allows an adjustable seat to accommodate a newborn up through a toddler.
The Personal Fit Adjusters (PFAs) are adjusted prior to getting baby in the carrier and while the webbing measures a full 10 inches, the cinchable section is no more than four inches. The shoulder harness buckles feature a fine adjust with nine inches for personal fit in addition to the full 18 inches of webbing for tightening. This allows users of many different builds to wear the ISARA comfortably.
The body panel measures 14 inches wide at center and top so there is mild contouring from the 14.5 inch seat to the middle but the carrier body is mostly rectangular. This provided a full coverage side, without opening for baby, closing off the usual open side design seen in most soft structured carriers. The shoulder harness is a straight strap which allowed multiple wearing positions including front, back, and hip carry. With straight straps the front carry can be worn in crossed position, making an X over the wearer's back, and giving extra lumbar support to the wearer. The hood is secured with a paracord loop and hook to the shoulder harness. The hood is detachable, securing to the inside of the carrier body with heavy duty snaps providing functional privacy or sun cover.
As with any soft structured carrier, it is important to make sure your baby can sit unassisted so that they can reposition their heads and protect their airway from suffocation. While not currently compliant with the new Consumer Product and Safety Commission and ASTM compliance standard F2236, the company is seeking testing before the end of the year to expand their sales market.
What I loved about this carrier
I have loved the soft feel of the Colimaçon et Cie fabric for quite some time. Having purchased many meters from the company, quite a few of my DIY wraps and ring slings are from this very soft fabric. This is one of the characteristics I loved from first feel of the ISARA. This means that right out of the box the carrier is extraordinarily soft requiring no time to wear in. The carrier is not stiff but pliable like a woven wrap and comfortable for both wearer and baby. The ISARA is comfortable, not over padded causing pressure on the shoulders or hips. We could easily wear the carrier for more than an hour without the need to readjust or feeling unwanted pressure in the hips. Distribution of weight was great, the 29 pounds of my two year olds not an issue for this carrier. The rectangular body allowed the girls to feel enclosed, as they would in a wrap, and thus more relaxed, as if being hugged and held in arms.
Hip carries in an SSC are usually not my favorite, the use of the shoulder harness around the back and across the neck usually leaves the carrier adding pressure on the neck. The ISARA did place high on the neck in a Hip Carry but the lightly padded shoulder coupled with the amazingly soft fabric made this more comfortable than in other carriers. I enjoyed that once we had completely tightened the shoulder harness there was still an extra nine inches to adjust in for a snug fit. This is also a point where the harness could be loosened to lower for breastfeeding. Likewise the crossed shoulders for an additional front carry option was a comfortable fit for us. This allowed me to wear the ladies once asleep with more support for my back. Usually the SSC front carries utilize lower back and hip muscles for support of baby's growing weight. The crossed straps allowed the use of the large muscle groups from the shoulders through the lower lumbar taking most of the pressure and weight off the hips.
I am usually not a fan of sleepy hoods. I do have to say that the ISARA is an exception to the list of two other carriers at the moment. The connection for the hood is on the inside of the carrier body and sunken five inches below the top of the carrier body. This actually allowed the hood to fully extend and use the pressure of the body as tension to keep my sleeping baby's head from lolling back while she was worn. This means she was comfortable, shielded from the watchful eyes of the octogenarian crowd at the grocery store and I was truly hands free to continue our shopping. The carrier was lightweight, being two layers of wrap fabric without internal liner made it airy and breathable. The fevered baby did not sweat nor cause me extra heat or discomfort from wearing.
What I am looking forward to seeing in the next release
I would love to see a PFA that pulled toward the body of the wearer. Frequently the PFA can make the difference between comfortable wear and a dismal experience for the baby and wearer as they continue to adjust what they can reach. Once the baby is in the carrier, adjustment of the PFA in any position of wear becomes a task you need an independent person to help you adjust. Adjusting it prior to adding baby to the carrier makes it a guess as to where you would likely be comfortable. If these were adjustable while wearing, the personal fit for each wearer would be complete. I enjoy a little more padding at the waistband of the SSC as I lack the hips to support the weight of my babies. The extra padding gives me a little extra cushion for their increasing weight when I want a quick uppy in an SSC. Perhaps a closed cell foam with higher density would be more comfortable without changing the width of the padding in the carrier.
Overall the ISARA carrier was comfortable and the details included in the carrier show that the design is from the point of view of the wearer with comfort in mind. The carrier was extremely friendly for the petite wearer with the smaller waistband and extra cinching in the shoulder harness for a fine fit feeling usually only seen in custom carriers. The bright, cheery colors are appealing and the incorporation of soft wrap fabric makes it ready to wear out of the box with no wearing in needed.

Though the year's far from over, the first of September marked the end of Woodbridge Farm's successful second year of author residencies, classes, and events. There's a chance we might still entertain a visiting writer, like we did with Max Ross, but our present focus is on planning for 2018. With this in mind, I thought it would be good to look back, recap the season, and share news of doings from our past residents.
recap of 2017
If the summer of 2016 was Woodbridge Farm's "soft launch" as Windsor-Essex's latest literary start-up, 2017 marked its swift development into an organization that provides solid programming, with participation numbers to show for it. At our first outdoor reading in July 2016, to cite one example, we hosted around twenty-five guests. Last month's reading attracted around sixty-five. Encouraging growth. We hope to sustain it by continuing to add new features in manageable increments, while maintaining the style that keeps Woodbridge Farm unique.
The most noticeable addition was the introduction of writing classes, both of which sold out quickly. But there were many more smaller additions and improvements. One example was our decision to handle book sales directly, rather than contract a for-profit bookseller, which increased the reading series' revenue and sustainability. Though changes like this might not be as evident, they make a great cumulative difference.
Almost all of these small improvements came as corrections—where we learned, quite humbly, from missteps made in innocence. My favorite example was the idea to space two thirty-minute gaps between each of an event's three readings. I made the mistake of implementing this at our June lawn party. When planning it, I thought those thirty-minute pauses would encourage a relaxed atmosphere, allowing time for people to mingle. But I was wrong. Most seemed anxious for the show to continue; a few got up and left. My friend Tim, who's been playing gigs for decades, said there's a standard rule in live music: never leave the stage for more than ten minutes. Five is better. But having no breaks works, too: that's how August's event was structured, and it flowed well. Everyone I spoke with enjoyed our five part, barrel-through pacing—i.e.: I. welcome -> II. intro -> reader -> III. intro -> reader -> IV. intro -> reader -> V. conclusion. It's the model we'll adopt going forward.
I mention this, in part, to point out two strengths that make me enthusiastic about Woodbridge Farm's future. Both have to do with the quality of our audience: first, they offer smart feedback; second, they've shown unwavering support even through this early process of improvement and expansion. It speaks so much to the quality of those who form our core.
In light of this year's success, planning is already started for the 2018 season. While it's too early to make any announcements, we'll be expanding the geographic range of authors invited to the retreat and reading series. We're also in discussion with supporters and regional organizations to develop our existing programming and establish new ties with the community. In other words, expect surprises.
news from our friends
Earlier this month, Yale University president Peter Salovey awarded the Windham-Campbell Prize to our August 2017 writer-in-residence, André Alexis, at a ceremony in New Haven, Connecticut. Norwegian author Karl Ove Knausgård, best known for his five-part novel, My Struggle, was the evening's keynote speaker. Alexis is the third-ever Canadian to win the award. Soon after, he was back in Toronto with his fellow 2017 Giller Prize jurors—including Lynn Coady, Nathan Englander, Anita Rau Badami, and Richard Beard—for the announcement of this year's prize longlist. Around the same time, Alexis' inclusion in Granta's forthcoming issue on Canada was made public.
After a promotional tour for her collection First Things First: Early & Selected Stories, including stops in Montreal, Toronto, and Hamilton, Diane Schoemperlen is back home in Kingston, Ontario, where, among other things, she's busy creating new collages. If you're interested in reading an excellent essay on the form, only about a dozen copies of her limited-edition chapbook, One Things Leads to Another: An Essay on Collage, are left. You can order them from Diane directly, or through our online store. Diane will be participating in several writers' festivals this autumn, including Toronto's International Festival of Authors and Kingston Writers' Fest.
A magazine piece that journalist Ryan Goldberg worked on while visiting us was published in Texas Monthly this past July: "Drug Runners," a deep dive into the world of the Tarahumara First Peoples of Mexico, their culture of long-distance running, and how this talent has been exploited by drug cartels, was selected among that week's best articles by Longform.
Kim Fahner, our August 2017 resident, continues her role as Poet Laureate of Sudbury, Ontario. In a few short weeks, she'll be launching her latest collection of poetry, Some Other Sky, published by Windsor's Black Moss Press. Windsor-Essex locals should keep their eyes open for an announcement about this year's Poetry at the Manor event, which should be happening around mid-October. Kim is scheduled to present there with several other poets laureate from around the country. The evening, as ever, will be hosted by the indomitable Marty Gervais.
Up in Toronto, Jesse Eckerlin began his masters degree at the University of Toronto's Centre for Comparative Literature. He completed his bachelors in literature from the same university earlier this spring.

You know we can just rip them directly from the game, no need to re-record them manually, plus it's more important to use the actual ones for frequency matching, all of yours are recorded at 44.1Khz, which is too large.

In my 'Foodstuffs' featuring Heinz Salad Cream , I promised I would post two family recipes that use the product. The first, which I posted a little while ago, was a Potato Salad I learned from my mother and the second, which I will be sharing with you here, is for my father's Shrimp Cocktail. Actually, although the way I now make potato salad is pretty much exactly the way my mother does, I have changed my father's recipe slightly over the years. It is still very tasty though, and very easy to make…
The Ingredients
- 200g Tiny cocktail Shrimp (canned or frozen)
- 5-6 leaves of lettuce
- 1/3 cup Heinz Salad Cream
- 2 tbsp. Ketchup
- 1 ½ tbsp. Prepared Horseradish
- 1 tbsp. Hot Pepper Sauce
- Pinch of dried Parsley for garnishing
The amount of shrimp I have used here is intended for just my wife and me but my father would normally use this amount for four people since he typically served the cocktail as an appetizer to start a meal with several courses. He also used Heinz Chili Sauce as part of his recipe but I have never done so, as I don't think it adds a lot to the end result. Also, where he would use Tabasco sauce, I have used a similar product (Frank's Hot Sauce) that I like better. You can use any equivalent you like but just make sure that it is a basic chili sauce without a lot of other flavoring ingredients.
As for the cocktail sauce ingredients, the amounts I have given are approximations. Indeed, I actually had a bit of a hard time deciding on what quantities to specify as I have never ever measured the amounts before. Rather, I have always just added the individual ingredients one by one, testing it as I go along, until the mixture looks and tastes just right. Just use my amounts as a basic guideline and then adjust the various flavorings as you see fit. For the hot sauce, I would recommend adding just a half-teaspoon or so at first and then gradually increasing the amount until you reach the degree of heat you prefer.
The Method
First, shred the lettuce leaves to provide a bed for the shrimp. Next, pour the salad cream into a small bowl. Add the ketchup, then the horseradish, and finally the hot sauce, tasting as you go along and adjusting the various ingredients to suit your taste. Most seafood cocktail sauces use quite a lot of horseradish to achieve their characteristic taste and you can increase the amount I have used if you like.
Next, lay a bed of lettuce in appropriate dishes or other receptacles (my father always used wineglasses) and divide the shrimp evenly amongst them, distributing them attractively over the lettuce. Finally spoon over the cocktail sauce, garnish with a little sprinkle of parsley and… Voila, there you have it!
The Verdict
Well, there were no surprises here… The amounts I used resulted in pretty much the same basic taste I usually expect and it was as good as ever. I like the sauce quite spicy hot and you may wish to tone it down a little but I think you will enjoy playing around with the basic recipe and I would love to hear how you make out…

One of the perks of becoming a member of local artisan groups is that you learn of other master craft people living locally. Not only is this very inspiring for my own artistic development and discovering new ways of marketing my products, it also means that I can tap into a vast pool of makers. And they can, of course, make lovely embroidery tools.
These beautiful wooden thread spools are made by a local wood turning master. He used local timber and oiled the finished product. It results in an incredibly smooth surface with a nice touch. Each spool can store up to six different threads and each thread end can be secured into its own groove. A perfect way to stitch in style. You can order your spool here.
I am also in the process of changing suppliers for my embroidery hoops and stands. Germany has its own renowned company of masterly crafted embroidery hoops: Klass & Gessmann. They were started in 1877 and have kept the tradition going all these years.
From now on you will find their beautifully made wooden seat frame in my webshop. You can read a review of this seat frame on Mary Corbet's website. This particular seat frame is more sturdy than the previous one I sold and especially the hoop is deeper which will help with maintaining proper tension of the fabric. Over the months, as my old products sell out, I will add more of their sturdy and well-crafted embroidery hoops to my webshop. Equally, more products of the master craftsman will turn up too.
The coming week will be an exciting one as the first of a series of week-long embroidery courses will take place in my studio. You'll read all about it in next week's blog post.

02 Feb Last Minute Chapter 13 to Stop a Foreclosure and "Buying Time"
One of the most powerful benefits of Chapter 13 arises from its power to stop a foreclosure. Although the foreclosure process varies depending on where the debtor lives, many Chapter 13 cases are filed on the eve of foreclosure to stop the process.
Chapter 13 is designed to help a debtor reorganize, but, inevitably, some debtors want to use Chapter 13 to "buy time." Buying time can have many meanings – sometimes a debtor wants to stop foreclosure so that he can stay in his house for free for a few months, never intending to fulfill the terms of a Chapter 13 reorganization. Other debtors want to stop foreclosure to secure time to get the house sold, after which they will voluntarily dismiss their case.
Faced with a request to file a Chapter 13 where the debtor has no real ability or intention to fulfill his plan obligations, most bankruptcy lawyers will struggle with two opposing considerations. On one hand, bankruptcy lawyers are officers of the court and we have both an ethical obligation to offer zealous representation to our clients. At the same time we have a professional obligation to the Bankruptcy Court to file only cases that are intended to support the purpose of the Bankruptcy Code – that is to give the honest, but unfortunate debtor a chance for a fresh start.
Faced with a decision of whether to file a case solely to stop a foreclosure, some lawyers will refuse to accept representation, while others will take the position that zealous representation compels them to use any means available to help the client.
On the other hand, the BAPCPA laws do provide for expanded liability pursuant to Rule 9011 against lawyers who file pleadings without performing an reasonable inquiry as to the facts and circumstances of a case. Section 527 of the Code specifically speaks to duties of debtors' counsel.
I invite the experienced and knowledgeable lawyers who regularly post on this blog, or any bankruptcy lawyer who has faced this situation to comment below.
The point here – if you are facing a foreclosure and you are considering using a Chapter 13 to buy time, you may discover that experienced Chapter 13 lawyers in your community may be unwilling to assist you if you have no desire to actually reorganize. Given the trend in the law that puts more of a burden on debtors to prove their qualifications for bankruptcy relief, it may be that the days are numbered for Chapter 13 filings designed to buy time only.
