Work is an important factor in most of our lives, and this is no different for people who have a disability. Breaking Barriers San Diego (BBSD) is an Individual Placement & Support (IPS) program, offering supported employment services to individuals with disabilities seeking work in the competitive job market.
Unlike more traditional employment services, supported employment programs like BBSD use a rapid job search and placement approach to help you obtain a job, rather than providing pre-employment vocational experiences. BBSD offers flexible, continuous supports to help you find full-time or part-time work and long term supports to maintain employment. Additional services include assistance with writing résumés and cover letters, practicing interviewing skills, and problem-solving to address any obstacles to working such as gaps in employment and legal history.
BBSD serves a wide range of participants, from those with limited work experience who may need the entire continuum of support to those with extensive prior work histories who require minimal support to return to the workforce. BBSD collaborates with community service providers to ensure that your support needs are in place to enhance your employment success.
To be eligible, you must:
- be currently unemployed or underemployed, and
- be over the age of 18, and
- have a physical, developmental or mental disability.
One of the following eligibility requirements must also be met:
- you receive public assistance through CalWORKs, or
- you participate in services with the Department of Rehabilitation (DOR), or
- you participate in county-funded mental health or alcohol and drug-related services.
For more information about BBSD, please email Tanissha at firstname.lastname@example.com.
BBSD is being offered as part of an evaluation to determine how the program helps people find jobs. There will be more applicants than spaces available in this program. Individuals who are eligible for the program and agree to participate in the study will be selected for the program based on a lottery. Funded by the U.S. Department of Labor and awarded to the San Diego Workforce Partnership. Grant Agreement Number: IF-26349-14-60-A-6.

Nooooo! Don't do it! It can get you or your friends banned from ever having an Adsense account again.
You can, however, click on your friends' Amazon affiliate links to purchase something. That is allowed.
You can help the HubPages community highlight top quality content by ranking this answer up or down.
What helps the best, I've found, is if you look for hubs about the things you would normally shop for or look for, and then when you see an ad that you like, click on it and explore it, not just to help the hubber, but because you authentically want to look. Most people just ignore ads these days, but when you benefit from ads on the hubs, it makes ya start to pay attention to others ads as much as you want them to pay attention to yours.
Just keep in mind what SmartAndFun said, which is true - just clicking on ads to gain revenue or give revenue, can get you and/or the hubber in trouble. So click on the ads you'd actually be interested in looking at, and don't over due it =)

The smart business knows its customers' journeys. The smartest business, however, will use this understanding to automatically target its marketing to influence them.
Marketing automation can bring your business success by aligning what your customers are looking for with what you're providing them. Better still, it bridges the gap between your sales goals and your marketing strategies by uniting your sales team's efforts with your marketing department's contributions. And that's a real win-win.
Who's automating their marketing?
The electoral success of Barrack Obama was underpinned by the fholy grail of digital campaigning. Team Obama successfully managed their supporters through an automated marketing platform known as The Dashboard.
And many other organizations have gained efficiencies and boosted their effectiveness too:
- PaperStyle set up a series of automated emails tailored to those planning a wedding. They saw open rates double and revenue triple.
- McAfee was able to increase its lead to opportunity rate four times through marketing automation.
- Thomson Reuters transformed its working culture and united its sales and marketing teams by using systems to improve the quality of its leads. The result was a cohesive business, an increase in leads (23%), a drop in lead conversion time (72%) and a massive revenue rise (175%) attributable to marketing efforts.
In fact, if you're not automating your marketing, you risk losing a distinct competitive advantage. It's the fastest-growing CRM-related segment in the last five years, and by 2015 the use of its software is predicted to rise by 50%.
In short, you need to get your dashboard on board now.
What can marketing automation do for you?
Start automating your marketing and you can start:
- Improving your lead management
- Personalising and customising your content
- Integrating your social media campaigns
- Converting opportunities and closing deals quicker
- Achieving better ROI in less than a year, as 75% of companies do, and ongoing savings thereafter.
If you want to find out just how marketing automation works, and how best to implement it for your business, the below infographic can help you get on track.
You really have nothing to lose – except your interdepartmental squabbles, inefficiencies, poor conversion rates and high marketing costs – and everything to gain.

As Freecell tells Nonoha about how he feels Kaito's broken promise is related to his mother's death, his Orpheus Bangle glows a mysterious color and his memory is rewritten, leading him to now believe his mother's death wasn't Kaito's fault, but his own. As the cave soon begins to collapse, Freecell uses the power of his bangle to solve the puzzle. After managing to find Kaito and Herbert and getting them to safety, Freecell reveals the Replica Ring he had been wearing had evolved into a true Orpheus Bangle, challenging Kaito to a game when he is ready.

RUTHERFORD COUNTY, Tenn. (WKRN) – A pair of Rutherford County football teams put aside their rivalry to honor a fallen hero Friday.
Stewarts Creek High School hosted La Vergne High three months after the tragedy stunned the area.
Marine Capt. Jeff Kuss' Blue Angels jet crashed in Smyrna on June 2 ahead of the Great Tennessee Air Show.
As the jet was going down, Kuss crashed into a field near an apartment complex. Many believe he sacrificed his life to put the plane down in the field instead of a populated area.
Todd Harris is one of the football coaches at Stewarts Creek High School.
"Capt. Kuss' actions really did save a lot of lives who were in that apartment complex," said Harris. "Many of whom will grow up and go to Stewarts Creek or go to La Vergne."
The two teams dedicated the game Friday night in honor of Capt. Kuss.
Before kickoff, the United States Marines Silent Drill Team performed. The platoon is in Middle Tennessee for Nashville Marine Week.
"One of the things we pride ourselves on is we never forget those who have gone before us," said Drill Commander Eric Montgomery. "Capt. Jeff Kuss represents that hero, that great American man standing up and doing what's right. So to have an opportunity to be a part of that is extremely humbling."
Capt. Joe Starnes, a U.S. Marine from Rutherford County who was friends with Kuss, handled the coin toss.
"I went to Basic Officer Training school with Capt. Kuss, then went to flight school with him," said Capt. Starnes. "So when I learned he crashed and passed away, that really hit home for me. He was a great guy."
There was also a moment of silence at halftime, followed by the playing of "Taps" by a Stewarts Creek H.S. band member.

Content Description top ↑
The success of conodonts in biostratigraphy from the Cambrian to Triassic Systems and the increasing flow of taxonomic descriptions make it both necessary and justifiable to assemble the significant data on genera and species in a Catalogue. It was to fill a gap in the literature that this Catalogue was organized.
Volume V covers species of the following genera: Ancyrodelloides, Chirognathus, Chahabagnathus, Icriodus, Klapperina, Pedavis, elekysgnathus, Polygnathus and Scaliognathus. The descriptions presented are arranged by genus in alphabetical order.

This is actually not a hotel. It are privately owned managed rooms and suites. And most of the rooms on offer if you are not careful in booking are small superior rooms - at the back of the buildings - dark, with a small balcony you can hardly stand on and with a view on the perimeter wall. Well appointed but not exactly the bright sunny suites with pool views and balconies with sweeping sea views advertised. It would take a Deluxe Suite or Grand Deluxe Suite before you can enjoy those. We had a look at one and had the impression that they were actually poorly appointed in comparison with the rooms. It may actually depend on the individual owner. Several of the really large and undoubtedly luxurious suites are not for rent.
The reception is open air as is the coffee shop- restaurant. Not exactly haute cuisine but D'Mall is close by.
As mentioned by others it can be windy at that side of Boracay but that to most is an advantage. Small but nice swimming pool and jacuzzi. Great pool bar which you mostly have to yourself in the evening when everybody has gone for dinner at the other side of the island
Real nice and helpful staff - most of them recruited from far away Mindanao
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- 7Stones Boracay Suites is located at the famous beach of Boracay in the Philippines. It offers a variety of rooms and suites which are fully equipped with European brands and the latest in technology such as LCD televisions, iPod ready Home Theater systems and high speed internet. Some of its amenities include 25-meter lagoon swimming pool, kiddie pool, and outdoor Jacuzzi, in-room massage service, babysitting service, and airport and city transfers. ... more less
- Reservation Options:
- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Agoda, Ctrip TA, Hotwire, TripOnline SA, Cancelon, Hotels.com, HotelQuickly, getaroom.com, Cheap Tickets and Travel Book Philippines, Inc. so you can book your 7Stones Boracay Suites reservations with confidence.

Late movie icon David Niven would have killed himself in his prime if it wasn't for a misfiring gun.
The actor, who played superspy James Bond in the original Casino Royale, attempted to take his life back in 1946 after the tragic death of his wife Primmie.
In new biography David Niven: The Man Behind The Balloon, writer Michael Munn recalls one interview he had with Niven, who died in Switzerland in 1983, during which the Brit recalled the moment he dabbled with suicide.
He told Munn he lost all "sense of reason", adding, "I decided to blow my brains out."
But in an extract from the book, obtained by U.S. tabloid the Globe, Niven states, "I took a gun and put the barrel in my mouth and with barely a thought for my children, which was unforgivable, I pulled the trigger. And the bloody thing didn't fire."
The shock jolted Niven out of his suicidal madness and the gun expert went to his grave without knowing why the pistol didn't fire.
He told Munn, "I think I may have actually thought that this might be God telling me to carry on living for the sake of my children."
Munn's tome also details Niven's many romances with starlets like the young Marilyn Monroe.

Teeth are protected from the cariogenic bacterium, Streptococcus mutans, by salivary mucins, key components of mucus, reveals research published ahead of print in Applied and Environmental Microbiology. The research suggests that bolstering native defenses might be a better way to fight dental caries than relying on exogenous materials, such as sealants and fluoride treatment, says first author Erica Shapiro Frenkel, of Harvard University, Cambridge, MA.
S. mutans attaches to teeth using sticky polymers that it produces, eventually forming a biofilm, a protected surface-associated bacterial community that is encased in secreted materials, says Frenkel. As S. mutans grows in the biofilm, it produces organic acids as metabolic byproducts that dissolve tooth enamel, which is the direct cause of cavities. "We focused on the effect of the salivary mucin, MUC5B on S. mutans attachment and biofilm formation because these are two key steps necessary for cavities to form," says Frenkel.

Attention All Sub Cable World Subscribers!
This Friday will be the last New Feed post until Monday, November 27th 2017.
Come back on the 27th and check out the NEW and improved Sub Cable World.
|Nexans sees continued growth in subsea power cable market
|Submarine Cable NewsFeed - Submarine Power Cables
|Thursday, 23 April 2015 08:23
A few weeks ago, we noted that Prysmian was forecasting strong growth in the submarine power cable business. Now Nexans, one of the other leading suppliers to the market, is discussing similarly optimistic forecasts.
According to a Reuters report quoting French daily Le Figaro, Arnaud Poupart-Lafarge, Nexans CEO, is expecting the high levels of growth that the market has seen in recent years to continue.
"High-voltage submarine cables are one of our most profitable and fastest-growing activities. We expect 10 percent growth per year in coming years, as we have seen in recent years," Poupart-Lafarge was quoted as saying.
According to the Reuters Africa story (http://af.reuters.com/article/energyOilNews/idAFL5N0XB13H20150414), another Nexans executive quoted in Le Figaro said Nexans plans to increase its submarine power cable manufacturing capacity with a 35 million euro investment.
At Submarine Cable World, we track growth in terms of demand for cable in route-kilometers, based on new contract announcements. Using that metric, the market thus far in 2015 is running 13% higher than for the same period in 2014.

Algeria World Cup Team Statistics: Group C
Status: Knocked out of round 2
World Ranking: 30
World Cup 2010 Results: 0-2-1
Total goals scored: 0
Total goals scored against: 2
Algeria World Cup Schedule: June 13 - Slovenia (0-1 loss); June 18 - England (0-0 draw); June 23 - United States (0-1 loss)
Algeria World Cup Soccer 2010
Algeria has long witnessed an exodus of citizens to Europe, but in recent years it has reached unprecedented levels. While official estimates put the numbers at 10 percent of the population, Algerians insist the number is much higher. The local press has dubbed the flight the "harraga," a play on the Arabic word for burning and a reference to the ritual burning of identity papers when migrants reach Europe. The incentives to risk illegal crossings and arrest remain huge.
Read all of GlobalPost's World Cup 2010 coverage
One recent study indicated that half Algeria's population between the ages of 16 and 59 is either unemployed or under-employed. While the country is proud of what its soccer team represents and dreams of it shining on the world stage, most of the players ply their trade in Europe and are conspicuous symbols of a very different Algerian dream — that of a financially secure future abroad.
Algeria World Cup History: Played well, once even defeating West Germany, in two previous appearances, but failed both times to escape the first round.
Algeria World Cup Conventional Wisdom: Algeria is another team that has already had a successful World Cup, after beating Egypt in an unprecedented playoff on neutral ground in Sudan. But that may remain the high point of the games. If an African setting benefits the African teams, Algeria may be the exception: the team is more rooted in Europe.
|Take GlobalPost's World Cup quiz.
Algeria World Cup Team Coach: Rabah Saadane
Saadane hopes Algeria can rise to the occasion, as it did against Egypt in qualifying. But he seems equally intent on dampening expectations for Les Fennecs, the Desert Foxes. "We are going to do our best to get to the second round," he promised, "but it's going to depend on a lot of factors. The principal objective is not to be ridiculous, to perform honorably and to play football at a high level." At the World Cup, honor tends to be left to the losers.
Algeria World Cup Team Strength: A very muscular, physical and experienced defense. Trouble is that could describe every team — England, United States and Slovenia — in Algeria's relatively weak group. Fans of African football wonder why Ghana or Ivory Coast didn't luck out and land this draw.
Algeria World Cup Team Weakness: A popgun attack with no major talents on the front line. Algeria can't play from behind, as it demonstrated when it was trounced 4-0 by Egypt in the semi-finals of the African Nations Cup.
Algeria World Cup Key Player: Antar Yahia
The 28-year-old Yahia, who plays in Germany, will forever be a national hero after scoring the goal against Egypt that sent Les Fennecs to South Africa. He is emblematic of both the strengths and weaknesses of the team. Yahia is a solid cornerstone on a defense that surrendered only eight goals in 12 qualifying games. But he was also the team's leading scorer, with three goals. At the World Cup level, carrying that double burden may prove too much for a veteran who has had a solid European career, but never at the elite level.

FDA Rule Makers Tackle Supplements
March 2, 2000
Since 1994, makers of dietary supplements have been allowed to make more aggressive health claims without Food and Drug Administration approval as long as they don't claim to cure diseases. But deciding what's a disease claim and what isn't can often be difficult.
- A supplement used "for the relief of occasional sleeplessness" is fine.
- But the claim "helps to reduce difficulty falling asleep" isn't, because it implies a treatment for insomnia, a disease.
- A drug that promises to restore potency would be open to rigorous FDA approval because impotence is a disease, while one that simply promises to increase sexual desire and improve sexual performance wouldn't.
New FDA rules regulating product health claims will go into effect this month and cover about 29,000 dietary supplements.
Even the FDA admits the differences between acceptable and unacceptable claims may be hard to distinguish, but the best bet for sellers in the $10 billion supplement industry might be to completely avoid the mention of any disease, even in passing.
However, the FDA still faces difficulties enforcing the rules. All supplement makers are supposed to send in their labels for a cursory review, but many don't. And if they all did, the FDA wouldn't have the manpower to review them. Finally, there are at least 1,000 supplement makers marketing their products on the Web.
A recent study showed 70 percent of U.S. households used supplements, mostly vitamins or nonprescription herbal products, in a six-month period.

Well Robert and I first met in 2010 in Seattle at Jimi Hendrix Park he jams with a mutual friend Leon Hendrix. Now that I've known him a few years now it's not hard to see and know why you respect him and want to call him your friend! His longevity in the music business is a shield of honor! Not to take anything away from Los Angeles, New York, Vegas, London, Vancouver and the countless great music cities of our world but #SEATTLE IS A TAD DIFFERENT WHEN IT COMES TO OUR MUSIC SCENE HERE! Seattles music scene is nothing short of a HUGE, GENIUS, CRAZY & DIVERSE FAMILY THAT LINKS GENERATIONS of all musical styles and personalities together and this big family encourages, helps, listens, gives you that constructive criticism we all need to hear more often than we do! The things a #REAL #TRUE #MUSICIAN does and is are those things I just mentioned and so much more and Robert is all of those things & does all of those things and then some!!! Thanks for doing music and representing #SEATTLE the way you do Mr. Fisher!!!See MoreRead Less
I managed Island Soul Caribbean Restaurant. Shan was at that time the featured guest performer for my period there (about 7 years). He was always prompt, professional and NON STOP!! He would sing and play from the moment sound check was complete till the last guest left! He always left the crowd wanting more.. He developed a following and set the theme for "the place to be at Island Soul" when I managed the joint. I highly recommend you select him or his band for any performance to be "taken away"....See MoreRead Less
Kevin is a talented producer and engineer, and I admire his creativity and the detail-oriented nature he brings to his craft. He has demonstrated various beats and instrumentals for my band, and granted us a few choice works that we have easily been able to convert into different styles of music. I was lucky to meet Kevin through a mutual musician friend and found out that we have some musical taste in common, and it led to a friendly collaboration that quite impressed me. I have zero reluctance recommending him and his skills.See MoreRead Less
Art is a very professional and talented artist. He honored me by playing at my wedding and has been an associate for years.
Rich is very knowledgable and has a passion for comics. Very friendly and helpful!
Lawrence and I met through a friend's band named Gray Sky Falling. We've played about a dozen shows together over a period of several years. What I like most about playing with Larry is he understands how to play a beat that the audience can really dance to. As a bass player, that makes my job so much easier because I'm part of the rhythm section too, and people dance to rhythms!
The other thing that makes Larry stand out is he comes to rehearsals prepared. As a musician, I value playing shows, not spending hours rehearsing in somebody's basement.See MoreRead Less
How Are You Doing Heather Estes"
Check this place out for music and some good food..
Paul is one of the most talented musicians I have ever had the opportunity to know. He is not only an amazing percussionist but a patient and articulate drum teacher as well. I have so much faith in him, I had him and his group the Miranda Trio perform at our wedding. I heard nothing but raves AND he is always on time. Everyone should hire him!See MoreRead Less

Discussion in 'Racquets' started by oray777, Sep 27, 2006.
Should i choose a lighter racquet or heavier racquet?
The general rule is to get the heaviest racquet you can use without slowing down your stroke. But it really depends on you playing skill/level and the kind of people you play against. If you play against very good players with tons of spin and heavy shots, a heavier racquet is necessary in order to hit back the shots since a light racquet will not have enough weight to push back the ball.
Lighter is generally better for customising; I know I'd like to have a 'lightweight players racquet' lying around so that I could really make it my own, but for anyone else, the heavier the better, until your arm can't handle it.
Might help to know just a "little" bit about you.
Lighter or heavier than what, air?
I'm a 3.5-4.0 player. I play left-handed. I play more from the baseline.
i prefer using a heavy racket because I believe it would help me generate more power when I serve.
as heavy as you can..."can" meaning being able to swing it without slowing down your swing. Especially for baseliner, heavier racquets produce heavier balls...and we all know what light weight racquets (that happen to be stiff) do to our arms.
I just moved from an APD to an MSpeed. Theres probably about a .7 ounce difference. At first I thought I couldn't handle a 12 oz racquet. I did notice the weight change, but my swing wasn't effected by it. I noticed more stability on offcenter hits. Also my shots seemed to have more pace and felt heavier. Also my serve improved oddly enough, I think the extra weight made me concentrate more on technique to generate the pace then just swinging wildly as fast I can. Although my 1hbh hasn't really adjusted to the extra weight just yet. I think the heavier racquet would be better, but as others have said, it leaves a little less room for customization.
here' s my 2 cents:
You might want to factor swingweight and balance and flex into your decision making, too.
The tutorial at racquet research dot com should provide you with a very good grounding on how the different parameters affect a racquet's performance.
when I was at 3.5 I was looking for power, thus moving to a heavier racquet. never looked back.
Seems to me the lighter a frame the less head light it should be. This tends to be a guideline I've noticed in "lighter frames".
I've been sticking with heavy frames so far but i'm going to try a few light frames and see how they feel.
Go as heavy as you can but still feel comfortable swinging it. I use a frame that is 12.5 ounces and like the extra weight on groundstrokes. I used to use a monster of a frame called the Yamaha Secret 04 which was 13 ounces and stiff as hell.

text: That Keith Richards yesterday marched against proposed cutbacks at his local hospital in West Sussex proves the 63-year-old Rolling Stone is still a street fighting man. Some might suggest he has acted out of self-interest: his personal proximity to a working hospital being a concern next time he falls out of a tree. But Keith has always been something of a spokesman on issues of public health. 'Don't do drugs,' he once wheezed, an imperative that prompted comedian Denis Leary to retort: 'We can't, Keith, you've done them all.' In this, though, the era of apparent political apathy, it is heartwarming to see a wizened rock star setting an example we hope his peers will follow. Perhaps Robert Plant could speak up on the importance of a fibrous diet or Roger Daltrey become an advocate for regular flossing.

Mirchi (29 Seventh Ave South, bet morton and bedford, 414-0931) is a newish indian. Apps: Dhokla, "steamed chickpea flour cakes laced with cilantro and chiles," were moist, slighty chewy and hotly spiced. Tak-a-tak, tiny pieces of chicken in red sauce accompanied with hambuger roll (this is the second time Im come across thisIll post on general topics, as Ive no idea what this trend is about), was not to my taste, tho my husband liked it. Mains: I had gosht vindaloo. The lamb was tender, the dish certainly had heat, and the portion was huge. But the sauce and meat didn't fully hang together. Seemed like sauce was joined with the meat at the last minute. I tried the jaipuri lal maas, lamb with "thirty chiles and cayenne". Interesting, and, yes, hot! Naan was good. And raita was good and creamy (not the watery sort).
Was second visit for my husband who said that it was not quite as good as a couple of weeks before. Asimov also noted inconsistency in his review last month. On basis of one visit I thought it was reasonably good. Might be worth another try.

Mobile Minutes: Paper vs. Flipboard, IT's control mentality, Adidas, app market globalization

Facebook Paper vs. Flipboard: Which news app delivers?
anxiety of Internet news is that there's always one more headline to
click. No one human could begin to sort through all those pages without
going a little mad. So how do you become an informed citizen without

Why IT's control mentality will cause mobile failure
I was so proud of myself. I had worked with several mobile vendors. I had talked to people struggling to make mobile work in their companies. I had written articles (see the list below) and talked to analysts. In short, I did my homework, and I came up with a program for how to make mobility work Using Mobile Technology to Discover your Path to Business Transformation, per Forbes.

App market globalization: The big theme of 2014
According to App Annie, Japan became the biggest app market in the world last October, surpassing the United States and continuing to grow at a far faster clip. Many app vendors started reacting to Japans new prominence already in 2013 and the year 2014 is likely to be defined by how Japan continues to integrate to Western markets. If current trends hold, by Christmas of 2014, Japanese app revenue may top US app revenue by 30-40 percent. It is already impossible to become the top vendor in the world without strong Japanese iOS and/or Google Play market performance. At the moment, Apple and Google are fighting a pitched battle in Japan, with roughly similar chunks of the overall app market.

Open APIs for building the next generation of audio technology
No product is an island. Any complex software we use today is likely built upon the accumulated work of many programmers. Resources like code libraries and application program interfaces (APIs) are often used to create new products: for example, Foursquare initially pinpointed locations using the Google Maps API, countless e-commerce sites use the Square API to process payments, and The Echo Nest API provided music intelligence and recommendation capabilities to music platforms like Spotify.
When we talk about innovating new methods for sharing and discovering podcasts and other audio, there's no need to start from scratch. Dozens of open APIs have been created in recent years to manipulate sound, search databases of content, and access metrics about listening patterns. The next big audio listening/sharing/searching app might emerge from the right combination of these tools.
Whether or not you code, this list of audio APIs might inspire you to think creatively about combining existing resources to create better tools for the future.

The hush that winter brings was broken Sunday afternoon by the distant wail of sirens. As the wail became less distant, we realized that the louder it became, the more likely it was the sirens were coming for one of our own.
Turns out this time they were for a widow in our ward. Her name is Lois. I don't know her well. I know next to nothing about her family. Her story is now lost to me. I just know she died alone in the cold dark of winter. And no one knew. The abandoned newspapers strewn at her door indicate she may have been gone a day or two before anyone even realized they ought to have missed her.
This breaks my heart.
My boys used to deliver her paper. She lived in a tiny square house that sat rather isolated on its nearly otherwise empty lot. Clearly humble circumstances aside, she was one of the very few who bothered tipping. A widow's mite, if you will.
Lois didn't become more than a name on a neighborhood roster to me until after her husband died. He was, shall we say, not very social. So she didn't get out much. When she did she seemed very quiet. Not withdrawn so much reserved. Eventually she started showing up to choir practice. I applauded her courage, as it was clear she was more accustomed to the back row than up on the stand. She had some condition that made her hand–I only recall ever noticing it on one–shake. One more reason to hold back, but she stepped forward to worship through song. I didn't know her well even then, but I was so proud of her.
I'm not sure when she stopped coming to choir. Or if it was her or I who disappeared first. I just realized that at some point that instead of in the choir seats, the only time I saw her at church was back in the far left corner, one of two places in our chapel where the widows and the widowers sit. Not so much to sit apart from the rest of us, but to endure together the loneliness that even the most gregarious of them must feel.
Even though my responsibilities require me to leave the meeting a few minutes early, I watch for them–particularly the sweet sisters–as I arrive and leave Sacrament Meeting. Ever ready with a hug, a pat on the shoulder or a gentle squeeze on the arm. I generally encountered Lois in the hall as she slowly made her way past the Primary room. Her sweet smile and gentle hello always warmed by heart. Notice that sparkle in her eyes? I am drawn to people who, despite the cares of this mortal world, manage to maintain the sparkle in their eyes.
I'm still watching for the obituary. I hope someone close to Lois will know and record her story. I don't even know how old she was when she died. I just know I am grateful to have crossed paths with her. Sadly, I'm sure Lois is not the last person about whom I will have regrets.
I wish I'd have known her better.
The perfect thing to say
I have been most blessed to have a few people in my life who generally know the perfect thing to say. This week in particular, two such people touched my heart in perfect and loving ways that I don't want to ever forget.
Exhibit 1:
Me to a close friend: Thanks for knowing me and loving me anyway.
Friend: Not "anyway." I love you because.
Exhibit 2 (aka Card Writing 101):
Actually, when I showed it to my kids (telling them, of course, to "watch and learn"), Zack pointed out that this is a little more upper division than 101, probably at least 303.
"This" is a gorgeous scarf my little brother has spent the past three months knitting for me for my birthday. Knowing that my kid brother spent the past three months putting all kinds of love into such a lovely gift from the heart–via his time and labor–warms my heart more than my mere words can say.
Taking care of business
First–Congratulations go to Melissa (of runwithmel) fame. You have won yourself one of my very favorite cookbooks in the whole entire world! I hope you enjoy it. Text or message me when you are in town and we can meet up so I can return your fabulous heels and also present you with your prize.
Second–Sent this to dearelder.com today as I was logging in to write to Hermana Asay. I think we should all flood their email and contact page with similar messages. It's about time, don't you think?
Hi–I appreciate what you do here and I realize you may not be able to update your URL, but don't you think it's time you updated your name and logo to be more inclusive of the many, many sisters also serving missions? I sure would feel more inclined to support your website if you did.
Thank you for your time–
Fin de November
It's just minutes before midnight and I find I am wrapping up this month of blog posts much like I started–rushed, by the skin of my teeth, and not exactly sure I have anything to say.
It's been a good day, so I'll just finish with a quick recap:
Trader Joe's opened in Utah today. I didn't go to the grand opening. But my SIL is coming next week and we are going to go check it out. I just hope that leaves them enough time to restock the shelves with an adequate supply of Peppermint Joe Joes.
Just found out my minivan needs another $1500+ of work. This after replacing the brakes and rotors just two weeks ago. Sometimes I wonder if you are going to have to come up with enough money for payments for repairs, maybe you just ought to be making payments on a better car?
Came home from the shop to find one of our hens (the black one that's blind in one eye) being used as a chew toy by our puppy. Not the dog's fault–it's what she's been bred to do. The hen was shaken; her neck is pretty raw. Shane isn't sure her feathers will grow back. Right now the trick will be to keep her safe from the other hens, who will, if they see her injury, become rather peckish. I hope she will be just fine.
Enjoyed my time home today: baking (banana muffins), cleaning (bathrooms, kitchen and dining room–lots of dishes), and cooking (a good 6+ quarts of homemade chili – had to send an entire gallon with Kyle for the scout campout at Fish Lake). Loved a litte more time with my kids as they came and went. Cheered by the Christmas music I turned on after Thanksgiving. Also enjoyed a walk with my friend Nancy. Finally, the rains came. That always makes for a happy day.
Finally–it's been a sweet ride. Thanks for reading.
Bring it, December!
And Happy Holidays to you (you the readers, not December) and yours.
*note: in case you were keeping track, this was published at 11:59 on Nov. 30. I just realized my blog is not in the correct time zone. Ah well.

First Australians Trailer (2008)
12 October 2008 383 mins
First Australians chronicles the birth of contemporary Australia as never told before, from the perspective of its first people. First Australians explores what unfolds when the oldest living culture in the world is overrun by the world's greatest empire. Over seven episodes, First Australians depicts the true stories of individuals - both black and white - caught in an epic drama of friendship, revenge, loss and victory in Australia's most transformative period of history. The story begins in 1788 in Sydney, with the friendship between an Englishmen (Governor Phillip) and a warrior (Bennelong) and ends in 1992 with Koiki Mabo's legal challenge to the foundation of Australia. First Australians chronicles the collision of two worlds and the genesis of a new nation.

/// <exception cref="ArgumentNullException"> /// Thrown if <paramref name="argument"/> is null. /// </exception> public void Method(SomeType argument) { if (argument == null) { throw ArgumentNullException("argument"); } // Do stuff... }
With something like this:
public void Method(SomeType! argument) { // Do stuff... }
Of course complications arise with arrays of non-nullable reference types and with the methods that feature non-nullable output parameters. There are workarounds for those issues, but the result is a convoluted syntax and unnecessary overhead. But I think the main problem is that we're looking at the problem from the wrong direction.
I think we have to accept that reference types are nullable, period. There will always be a case in which a reference has not yet been or may never be initialized. However, we can stipulate that a caller must provide a properly initialized reference when invoking a function, and we can promise that the results of our function will not be null under normal program flow.
This isn't a new idea. "Design by Contract" has been around since the 80s in the Eiffel programming language. More recently it has reemerged with Spec# and Code Contracts tool set from Microsoft. And it works. For example, this:
public void Method(SomeType argument) { Contract.Requires(argument != null); // Do something... }
... will cause the static analysis tool to verify that all calls to that method within scope have verified that argument reference is not null before making the call. And it doesn't require new keywords, new syntax, compiler enhancements, or breaking changes to existing code.
While I would like to see pre- and post-conditions baked into the language itself (ala Eiffel or Spec#), I think that the "Billion Dollar Problem" is largely solved with the tools we already have.

Where to begin.
I'm not coping right now. I feel bad about it and guilty and like I shouldn't feel like this but that doesn't change the fact that I'm not coping. It's a whole host of things, only a few of which I will go into here but together it's left me feeling completely lost in somewhere very dark indeed.
If you've read my last three or four blogs you'll know that I've been having a few problems with my liver and the veins in my esophagus. Firstly, I hate the word veins so I will be calling them anything but that for the rest of this blog. Liver disease is not anew thing for me. I have an enlarged liver and spleen and portal hypertens and cirrhosis. It's never caused me much problem but has always been there. When I was around 8 I remember sitting in the Drs room with my parents while he told them in front of me that bleeds, coughing or vomiting blood were a risk and something that could happen. Also that they needed to keep a close eye for liver cancer. Being so young the cancer thing didn't stick, but the blood thing did. The only experience I had with blood was the hideous frightening needles to take blood from my arm and the scary bottles of dark red. The idea of it coming out of me in copious amounts has ever since been one of my biggest worries. I won't even watch anything that might involve it on tv.
So hearing the varicies needed treatment now was always going to be scary. Realising something else is going wrong inside without me knowing is also frightening. Add to that that this week we lost a hugely inspirational and amazing transplantee who was the longest surviving transplant recipient, to complications from a burst ulcer and internal bleeding and its all just a little too close to home. Aside from the reason he died, I think most transplant recipients will feel grief for a fellow patient who dies, whether they knew them well or not. It's a commerade, a fellow fighter and you know all too well how hard they fought to be alive. When they lose you feel that loss. CF patients and transplant patients deal with loss on a daily basis, most people wouldn't believe how many friends we lose.
I've also reduced both my steroid dose (any change makes me go completely unstable) and my anti depressants. This was done to try and solve another issue I was having and I was quite proud with how I was coping on the lower dose. I still am but it's really not helped with all the extra stress on top.
I had the banding procedure done on Tuesday, my 6 year anniversary of transplant. It went well, the staff are just a complete dream team and other than not having much appetite and being sore it was ok.
Until last night when I burped and one of the bands flew into my mouth.
I should say that it's fine, that's ok, I've spoken to my long suffering consultant and he's reassured me. But I'm not afraid to admit I was terrified. Terrified I'd bring up blood and be at the mercy of Drs that don't know me or my conditions. Terrified I'd sleep and wake up choking on it. Aside from that, the shock that something like that which could be potentially life trphreatening can happen just like that. And there's nothing I can do.
Most of you know the repeated fractures, fatigue etc that seem to work to hold me back are draining. It add this new fear on top that anything can happen and I'm free falling. What if my mum dies? The only one who is there no matter what? What if I'm hospitalised and in ICU? What if my lungs fail again? What if I need radiotherapy down the line for rejection? What if what if what if?
It's like something's snapped in me. I didn't sleep. I'm exhausted, drawn, and keep bursting into tears. I looked in the mirror and all I see is this scared little person looking back. I don't want to go out and I certainly don't want to go on the days away I have planned.
Even my home doesn't feel safe any more. I'm consumed by fear.
I've got no real support. I feel alone which is even more terrifying. I have my mum and dad and a couple of good friends. They are the only people I feel I can confide in and sometimes not even them. They have their own problems and a lot of time I feel like a burden. I should snap out of it but I just can't. I also feel angry. Angry that others can walk away and not feel frightened every second of every day.
It feels as though life is over. Every time I try to make myself less lonely or chase my dream of acting it just fizzles to nothing as there is always something medical that needs attention and my energy is limited. There will always be that issue that has to take priority because it could be dangerous if not sorted.
I'm sorry for such a negative post but it's all I can do right now. The band coming off isn't a problem. But tomorrow or today or next week something else could be.

A former Arizona state lawmaker who could become the first openly bisexual person elected to Congress is accusing a Democratic primary opponent of telling potential supporters that she can't win because of her sexual orientation. Meanwhile, LGBT supporters of her opponent have rushed to his defense.
Kyrsten Sinema, who was a state lawmaker for seven years, is competing in a three-way primary set for Tuesday with Andrei Cherny, a former chair of the Arizona Democratic Party, and State Senate Minority Leader David Schapira. The winner gets the Democratic nod to represent the state's 9th congressional district in the U.S. House.
In a Washington Blade interview on Friday, Sinema had particularly harsh words for Cherny, whom she said has engaged in "very, very, very dirty" campaign tactics by telling potential supporters she wouldn't be a good choice for the Democratic nomination because she's bisexual and single.
"Unfortunately, his strategy every time he runs for office has been to really seek to tear down his opponent instead of putting forth his own positive ideas for the future," Sinema said. "We're seeing that same strategy again in this election."
In one instance, Sinema said she was told by a union — which ultimately chose to endorse her — that Cherny said during an earlier endorsement interview that she couldn't win because of her sexual orientation.
"I got a call from some union folks who support my campaign because of my long history of standing with working families," Sinema said. "Apparently, he had told some of them in interviews that I couldn't win the election and that I shouldn't get the endorsement because I'm openly bisexual and can't win a general election."
Sinema said the union asked her later about her sexual orientation and she replied, "It's true that I'm openly bisexual, I have been my entire adult life, and I've managed to win four elections, and, meanwhile, he's lost two, so perhaps it was being straight that was the problem here."
Before becoming chair of the Arizona Democratic Party, Cherny lost an election for California State Assembly in 2002 and lost an election to become Arizona state treasurer.
Additionally, Sinema accused Cherny and his wife of telling potential donors she wouldn't be the right choice because she's "not a family person." While Sinema is single and has no children, Cherny is married and has two children.
"I spent nearly two decades as a social worker and an educator with kids," Sinema said. "So, my whole life has been about helping middle-class families. So it's just kind of a hollow argument to say I'm not a family person."
However, Sinema said the strategy "backfired" and as a result of him allegedly making these comments to potential donors, she's received phone calls from individuals offering help because they considered it "a distasteful strategy."
Sinema declined to identify the union or the potential donors to whom Cherny allegedly made the accusations.
Seth Scott, Cherny's campaign manager, responded to Sinema's accusations by denying the charges and calling her a liar.
"Kyrsten Sinema's false accusation is a dirty, desperate and slanderous lie," Scott said. "Sinema's willingness to make up such egregious lies tells us all we need to know about her own personal character, her standing in the polls and her fitness for office."
It's not the first time Sinema has accused Cherny of underhanded campaign tactics. In May, The Hill newspaper reported that Sinema and Schapira issued a joint statement criticizing Cherny for what they called "Karl Rove-styled attacks" from an earlier campaign as well as in the current primary.
According to The Hill, Sinema and Schapira criticized Cherny for his 2002 campaign for a seat in the California State Assembly. The mailer featured a photograph of a tattooed black male with a gun, suggesting voters would be unsafe under Cherny's opponent. Further, Sinema and Schapira reportedly accused Cherny of circulating false information to right-wing publications, misrepresenting news articles and employing guilt by association to attack other Democrats. Cherny's supporters reportedly said the other candidates were smearing him and Cherny was quoted as saying the 10-year-old flier doesn't reflect the work he's done over the past 15 years.
Sinema, who is known as an LGBT rights advocate in Arizona and led campaigns against state ballot initiatives prohibiting same-sex marriage, has been endorsed by major LGBT organizations, including the Human Rights Campaign and the Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund.
Denis Dison, a Victory Fund spokesperson, said the campaign tactics that Sinema says Cherny is employing against her aren't unusual in tight races involving LGBT candidates.
"It's something we've seen before in races as they've come down to the wire and our candidates are in a good position," Dison said. "Unfortunately, even in Democratic primaries, you see people start to play this 'sexual orientation' card. It's particularly unfortunate that this is happening in a primary in a party that is supposed to beyond this type of politicking. But you see it from time to time, and it's unfortunate that it is apparently happening now in Kyrsten's race."
Some prominent LGBT individuals in Arizona rallied behind Cherny in the face of the accusations, saying that they couldn't believe he would make homophobic remarks and that Sinema was making accusations without offering proof.
Jim Kolbe, a gay Republican who formerly represented Arizona in the U.S. House, called the allegations against Cherny "preposterous" and said there's no way the candidate would employ such campaign tactics.
"I've known Andrei for a number of years and there has never been anybody that is more open, more gay friendly," Kolbe said. "It's just inconceivable that he would try and make that charge. It's ironic, I guess, a sign of times, that gay politics has come to this, where instead of accusing somebody of being gay, you accuse of maybe not being gay enough. But, obviously, that's not true. I feel absolutely certain that's not accurate."
Neil Giuliano, a gay former mayor of Tempe, Ariz., and former head of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, said he knows Cherny and there's "nothing homophobic or anti-gay" about the candidate.
"I understand it's been a really rough race between the three of them," Giuliano said. "They're all good people, but I'm compelled to weigh in on Andrei's behalf because I just can't, for the life of me, believe that kind of an accusation against Andrei Cherny. I just don't believe it."
According to Federal Election Commission reports, Giuliano has contributed a total of $1,500 to Cherny, but Giuliano said he otherwise has stayed out of the race.
Rebecca Wininger, a lesbian Phoenix, Ariz., activist, said she backed Cherny early in his campaign and doesn't believe he would make homophobic comments because people within his family are members of the LGBT community.
"I've seen him interact with them with love and support, and I can't believe the Andrei I know would make such statements," Wininger said.
Wininger is board president of Equality Arizona, but she said she was speaking on her own behalf and not as part of any organization.
The three Democrats have been involved in a fierce fundraising battle with less than one week before the primary. The Washington Blade was unable to find any recent, independent polls reflecting the state of the campaign.
According to the most recent Federal Election Commission reports, Cherny has raised the most money, a total of $861,477 while spending $572,889 and having $289,088 in cash on hand. In comparison, Sinema has raised $747,403, spent $592,909 and has $154,495 in cash on hand. Meanwhile, Schapira has $237,889 in net receipts, spent $223,826 in expenditures, has $14,063 in cash on hand.
Besides making allegations about Cherny, Sinema said during the Blade interview she's committed to LGBT issues and sees passage of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act and second-parent adoption as priorities along with other initiatives if she's elected to Congress.
