Splendour In The Grass Finds Permanent Home
After losing Splendour In The Grass to Woodford for a couple of years, Byron Bay gets it's baby back.
However the annual festival will no longer be hosted at its birth-site of Belongil Fields, but after long stints of negotiations with with local councils and concerned residents, 2013 will see the festival at North Byron Parklands at Yelgun, in the Byron Shire.

For The Herald Bulletin
---- — I expect to see deer when I go deer hunting, but sometimes the unexpected is the real treat.
A farmer was picking corn on my hunting property Tuesday afternoon and I was skirting a fence row on my way to hunt. It was a perfect evening except for wind direction.
My tree stand is nestled in the corner of a thicket at a cross-over between two fields. When I approached, a woodcock flushed at my feet and disappeared into the thick brush. I wondered, "How would you ever shoot one of those timber doodles?"
Settled, in my perch, a loud noise got my attention; it sounded like someone was ripping bark off a dead tree. Then, there was the thumping of wings as a red-tail hawk flew from the thicket; in his talons looked to be the woodcock.
As the corn picker continued to eat away more of the maze, four deer shot out of cover 300 yards in front of me. They wasted little time to disappear into a big creek bottom. It was 5 p.m. In the next 20 minutes, two more deer took the same route. The wind was blowing from me to them; one detected my scent and took a long stare in my direction.
Well after dark, Roger Murdock called to report a buck harassing a doe in his back yard. My favorite dates to be in the woods are Nov. 6 to 10.
My ladder stand looks down on an apple tree full of fruit. It is illegal to bait with apples, but not illegal to hunt near apple trees. The following is a pretty good explanation from the DNR:
The Department of Natural Resources is reminding Indiana hunters that even though deer attractants found at retail stores can be purchased and used in the wild, hunting near them is illegal.
"Indiana regulations prohibit the hunting of deer with the use or aid of bait, which is defined as a food that is transported and placed for consumption, including, but not limited to, piles of corn and apples placed in the field; a prepared solid or liquid that is manufactured and intended for consumption by livestock or wild deer, including, but not limited to, commercial baits and food supplements; salt; or mineral supplements."
This includes artificial products marketed under names such as Deer Co-Cain, Buck Jam, Trophy Rock, as well as mineral blocks, salt blocks, and even natural foods such as corn and apples.
"Basically, if you place anything that isn't grown in the area and hunt there, it's illegal," said Lt. Larry Morrison, outdoor education director for DNR Law Enforcement. "Hunting next to a corn field or from an apple tree is legal, but placing corn or apples under your tree stand would put you in conflict with current Indiana law."
An area is considered baited for 10 days after the product and the affected soil is removed from an area.
Odor differs from bait. Cover scents or scent attractants are legal to use when hunting.

SURPRISE, Ariz. A 17-year-old boy who was playing a game similar to cops and robbers died after falling from the bed of a pickup truck.
Surprise police Sgt. Mike Donovan says Andrew Arellanes fell late Saturday night. The Valley Vista High School student and quarterback had been standing in the back of the pickup truck when the driver hit a dip, swerved, and he was thrown from the truck.
Donovan says Arellanes hit the ground head-first. Arellanes was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.
KPHO-TV reports that classmates left signs, candles and a T-shirt at the site Monday as a memorial.
No charges have been filed.

Paddington's Charity supports Biosciences Researcher
3 September 2012
Dr Emyr Lloyd-Evans and Dr Helen Waller-Evans
Dr Emyr Lloyd-Evans has been awarded over £173,000 from the charity Action Medical Research to support three years of work into the rare childhood disease Smith-Lemli-Opitz Syndrome (SLOS). This funding augments the recent successes of the Lloyd-Evans lab who have secured over half a million pounds of funding for work related to this disease in the last 12 months.
Characterised by severe birth defects, neurological decline and a high prevalence of autism, the multi-malformation disease SLOS is caused by an inborn error in cholesterol synthesis. The Lloyd-Evans lab has identified an important role of the lysosomal protein NPC1 in the progression of this disease. The funding from Action Medical Research will support a project which aims to clarify the mechanisms of a potential new therapy for SLOS.
Recognising the importance of this work, this project is amongst the largest grants that Action Medical Research has funded, and consolidates the Lloyd-Evans group efforts to translate their research findings into novel therapeutic approaches in the clinic.
Dr Lloyd-Evans explains "At present, Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome has no viable therapy. As a result of this funding from Action Medical Research we will be able to develop and test new therapies for this disease that we are aiming to translate into a clinical therapy (in conjunction with other funding agencies)."

Contradicting what TMZ is reporting, the Florida Highway Patrol says that it is not seeking a search warrant in the Tiger Woods case, according to FOXNews.com
"We don't need a warrant to get records, that is incorrect," said Florida Highway Patrol Chief of Public Affairs Capt. Mark Welch.
TMZ reported that authorities were seeking Woods' medical records to determine whether his injuries are consistent with a car accident or domestic violence.
"We are seeking all information relevant to the ongoing investigation into the car crash," said Welch.
"We would seek medical information as it might relate to the cause of the crash."
In a new report at TMZ, they report that two FHP officers visited the hospital today where Tiger was treated.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
We've been seriously stewing over kitten heels for the last several months: too trendy? A good investment? What to do?! But with heel heights slowly and surely coming back down to earth, now seems the perfect time to embrace new and sensible footwear. We particularly love this pair from Boutique 9; the one-and-a-half-inch heel is dainty, to be sure, but the strappy leather bands on the front keep it firmly out of prissy territory. It'll be great with jeans for a weekend jaunt or a flirty printed dress for a night on the town. Click the image to shop.

christopher curtis
Vermont sculptor Christopher Curtis has been a working artist for over 20 years, and an observer of science and the natural world his entire life. Much of his early work was named for the invisible particles that compose the earth and atmosphere, "Quark Trap" and "Evidence of a Passing Neutrino" for example. Science continues to dictate his direction in sculpture. "Technology has the capacity to bring great destruction or great beauty into being. It's this dichotomy that fuels the desire to create sculptures- objects that are tools of contemplation, dialogue, and perhaps peace. "
Curtis works in stone and steel - some of his massive, elegant sculptures sit in the gallery's garden like lords...

BROOKLYN PARK, Minn. (AP) -- The Minnesota Health Department is investigating a foodborne illness that sickened dozens of people who ate at a banquet for a Minnesota high school football team.
At least 75 people got sick after eating at a banquet for Totino Grace football players Sunday in Brooklyn Park.
The banquet was attended by 273 people at the Edinburgh USA Golf Course clubhouse restaurant.
Totino Grace football coach Jeff Ferguson tells the Star Tribune at least 41 adults and 34 students fell ill.
A state Health Department spokesman says health officials suspect the illnesses were caused by norovirus because of the victims' symptoms, which included vomiting and diarrhea.
The gastrointestinal illness usually lasts a few days. No hospitalizations were reported.
The restaurant's food service is cooperating with city and state health officials.

Create Your Personal Birth Philosophy
Now that you've started to educate yourself about pregnancy and birth it's time to make some choices. It is time to begin identifying your own personal philosophy and creating a vision for your child's birth. Get really honest and clear with yourself- for example:
• Do you believe the process of birth is: Safe? Scary? Sacred?
• Do you believe that labor and birth require medical assistance?
• Do you feel it is a normal, natural process?
• Do you fear labor is potentially dangerous?
• Do you want medical assistance throughout?
• Do you want to deliver in the most natural way possible?
• Do you fall somewhere in between, believing that birth is usually safe but feeling that you want a higher level of medical expertise on hand, just in case?
Ask yourself big questions and listen honestly to your answers. Notice what fears come up for you and talk them through with your partner, support people or a counselor. Once you have a sense of your beliefs about birth you will be ready to make the maternity care decisions that are right for you such as where, how and with whom to birth. Our Provider Network can help you find prenatal counselors and doulas who can assist you in this process.
While you uncover your birth philosophy and desires, keep in mind that it is just as important to stay flexible as it is to consciously prepare for your birth. Consider how you will react and how you can support yourself if your child's birth doesn't adhere to an ideal plan. Preparing for alternate possibilities will allow you to relax in the moment.
Further reading on this topic:
The Mother-Friendly Childbirth Initiative
The Mother-Friendly Childbirth Initiative is the foundation of our work at Choices in Childbirth, and is the core philosophy of the care providers listed in our Provider Network. The principles of Mother-Friendly Care include: Normalcy of the Birthing Process, Empowerment, Autonomy, Do No Harm, and Responsibility.
The Business of Being Born
The documentary The Business of Being Born represents a break from the view of childbirth America usually sees – and has come to accept as normal. Instead, the film features a series of women, including executive producer Ricki Lake, giving birth with "surprising serenity," on their own terms. "It's a practical guide to childbirth that's really going to help women discover natural options and take back the birth experience", says director, Abby Epstein.
The Birth Survey: Transparency in Maternity Care
Thanks to a groundbreaking new consumer resource called The Birth Survey, women and families now have an additional tool to help them make maternity care decisions that are right for their individual needs. Like Angie's List or Consumer Reports, The Birth Survey helps people evaluate the goods and services they are shopping for, in this case, maternity care. The Birth Survey was created by the Coalition for Improving Maternity Services (CIMS) and piloted in New York City by Choices in Childbirth.

A cry for help from mothers of bullied children in the QCA prompted a public, anti-bullying seminar to be held on Saturday.
The goal was to raise awareness within the community of just how serious the issue is.
It was also a chance for families of bullied children to share their experiences.
One grandmother shared her struggle with us.
Kathy Morris says she is simply fed up with the bullying of her grandson, Damien.
He has been bullied for the past three years and she says it hasn't gotten any better.
But, Morris says she's hoping by having more anti-bullying seminars like the one held this weekend, it would bring the community together to end this growing epidemic.
Her 14-year-old grandson Damien, who has been diagnosed with a mild form of autism, says he has been called a variety of names, pushed around in the halls at school, and even cornered and beaten.
His grandmother says he's become too afraid to talk due to the constant bullying at school, and that fear has taken a toll on his mental health. He has been put on anti-depressants to deal with the stress.
Morris brought her grandson to the seminar on Saturday in hopes that he and others being bullied will gain some courage and learn what they can do to remove themselves from bullying situations.
"These kids need our help, they need somebody to protect these kids, so we're hoping this event would help these kids and maybe try to get this bullying stopped," Morris said.
Author Gabrielle Van Rij was the guest speaker at the seminar.
She is an anti-bullying advocate has written books on bullying drawing inspiration from her own bullying experiences.

Deadly Delay Part One: "Nobody Knows About This" - 13 Investigates will change the way you look at smoke detectors. Even though they may look the same, the truth is not all smoke detectors are alike.
Deadly Delay Part Two: "I've Never Seen A Test Like This" - The most popular type of smoke detector in the United States tends to provide far less warning and escape time during one of the most deadly types of fires. That is the finding of a WTHR smoke detector test conducted in partnership with the Indianapolis Fire Department.
State fire marshal says smoke detector report shows "emergency" - Indiana's state fire marshal says he will convene a statewide meeting of fire officials to discuss what actions are needed following an Eyewitness News investigation.
Deadly Delay Part Three: New testing prompts new call for action - Millions of families rely on ionization smoke alarms, but in a slow-burning fire, you should not rely on one to save your life. That's the message from the fire marshal and local fire officials who met Wednesday in Wayne Township.
Deadly Delay Part Four: Ionization smoke detector fails aquarium test - Will the smoke detectors in your home actually detect smoke? Before you answer, read what 13 Investigates has discovered.Deadly Delay Part Five: UL must improve smoke detector testing - One of the world's leading testing and safety organizations cannot explain why some smoke detectors did not detect smoke.
Fire marshal releases new recommendations for smoke detectors - The state fire marshal is responding to an Eyewitness News investigation with a major announcement.
Small-town tragedy offers nationwide lesson - As part of Indiana's statewide Fire Prevention week, WTHR takes you hundreds of miles away to tell a story that hits very close to home. 13 Investigates discovered a small town in Vermont with a powerful message for Indiana. In fact, for you and your family, it's an important lesson that just might save your life.
"Deadly Delay" investigation prompts Congressional action - Millions of smoke alarms might not respond when you need them most. The government has known about this "Deadly Delay" for years, but has done nothing to warn you. Prompted by WTHR's investigation, Congress now wants the CPSC to end its silence on photoelectric technology.
What type of smoke detector do you have?
Photoelectric smoke detectors usually have the word PHOTOELECTRIC right on them. You might see a big "P" or a "blue symbol". And if you see the words "dual sensor," that means the smoke detector has both photoelectric and ionization built in.
If you don't see any symbols chances are, it's probably an ionization smoke detector. Those alarms are sometimes marked with a letter I, or other symbols.
When you are taking a look at your smoke detector, please make sure to check the battery. That's crucial.
The bottom line: Smoke detectors do save lives. Adding a photoelectric smoke detector to your home will usually give you more warning in a slow-burning, nighttime fire.

Mortgage rates fall once again to record lows. Why?by Keith Gumbinger
Below is an excerpt from HSH.com's latest Market Trends newsletter, written by Keith Gumbinger, vice president of HSH.com. Sign up and receive the newsletter in your inbox Friday evening.
By a whisker, mortgage rates eased to new record-low levels last week, as neither the economy nor the Federal Reserve gave any indication that there is a reason for them to rise at the moment.
The economic climate has turned considerably more mixed over the last two months, with rather more signs of deceleration than acceleration. It may be only a pause, but it is possible that modest growth may be all we can expect for a while to come yet. To be fair, the new record low for mortgage rates is just a single basis point lower than the old, and there was little move at all last week.
As they have been, rock-bottom mortgage rates continue to do what they can to support the housing industry and improve household finances, but there are limits to how much support they can provide.
Mortgage rates make history (once again)
HSH.com's broad-market mortgage tracker–our weekly Fixed-Rate Mortgage Indicator (FRMI)–found that the overall average rate for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages (conforming, non-conforming and jumbos) eased by two basis points (0.02 percent) for the week, and at 4.17 percent, now stands just a single tick below its record low.
The FRMI's 15-year companion shed three basis points (.03 percent), also moving just below former record lows.
Important to homebuyers and low-equity-stake refinancers, already-low FHA-backed 30-year mortgages dropped by another lone basis point to 3.80 percent, a fresh low-water mark, while the overall average for 5/1 Hybrid ARMs lost two hundredth of a percentage point, landing at an average 2.97 percent for the survey period, its lowest level ever.
Questions surround the Fed's next move
The Federal Reserve Open Market Committee met last week to discuss the economy and decide whether any present policies should be changed. No changes were expected, and none came; the only new light shed as a result of the meeting is that at least two more Fed Governors moved up their forecasts of when the first changes to the Federal Funds rate will occur.
The Fed's Operation Twist program comes to a close in just about nine weeks' time, but there was nothing in the statement which closed the meeting (nor in Fed Chairman Bernanke's subsequent press conference) to indicate that the program would be replaced, allowed to expire or extended, but only that the Fed stands ready to change policy if needed and as suggested by incoming data.
Housing remains weak
We know that sales of homes have been better this year than last. That said, they are still rather weak, and of late, have begun to soften up a little bit. This change may or may not be due to the unusually warm winter moving some purchases up to January and February, but there was some slowing seen in March.
Sales of new homes finished the month at an annualized pace of 328,000, down from an upwardly-revised 353,000 in February. With the April dip, we have settled back to about January levels, but the actual number of units built and ready for sale continued its steady decline. At 144,000 homes, it is the lowest level since records were kept, and represents a 5.3 month supply, a little tighter than what is considered normal.
What's in store for this week?
The calendar turns to May tomorrow. As always, the first week of the month brings a slew of fresh data. Of note is a new Senior Loan Officer Opinion survey from the Fed, which will probably detail modestly easing lending conditions for businesses and possibly some in residential lending, too. Sales of new cars, the latest ISM indexes, income, spending and productivity reports all precede the employment report. For many of these, the April data seems likely to be just a little better than March was, but not enough to drive interest rates strongly in an upward direction. If the data is not much better (or not as good), some pressure on the Fed to "do something" is likely to start to grow.
Mortgage rates should be fairly flat again this week.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! The enticing smells of mulled wine and rum punch, roasted almonds, Nuremberg bratwurst and gingerbread fill the air. And it's not only tiny tots who will have their eyes all a-glow as the Nuremberg Christkind appears on the balcony of the Church of Our Lady to open the holiday season. Friday before the first Sunday in Advent is the day it all begins as she opens the world-famous Nuremberg Christkindlesmarkt.
Excited anticipation and reverent silence: That's the best way to describe the atmosphere when the Nuremberg Christkind opens the Christkindlesmarkt each year on Friday before the first Sunday in Advent.
The idea that the Christkind brings children their Christmas gifts goes back to the protestant reformer, Martin Luther (1483-1546). In Luther's time, it was traditional to give children gifts on December 6th, St. Nicolas's Day.
Nuremberg: Your travel destination
What is the perfect christmas holiday? To enjoy the moment in Nuremberg and forget about your worries for a while. Whether strolling through the Christmas Market, enjoying medieval atmosphere in the Old Town or shopping individual gifts for your friends and family. If you are interested in culture, a visit to one of the many museums in town is a must. These are memories that will last a lifetime!

FGCU In First Place After First Day Of Renaissance Invitational
The Eagles enter Monday's final round two strokes ahead of host Xavier (287-288/575), who entered the weekend No. 32 in the recent Golfstat rankings. The Blue and Green fired the best round of the day in the opening 18 holes with a three-under par 285. FGCU followed with an even par 288 in the second round to finish at 573.
"I'm proud of the way the guys played today, especially the way we started," said first-year head coach Brent Jensen. "We didn't close out the second round as well as we would have liked, but we're in the position that every team wants to be in heading into the final round. Tomorrow will be a big test and I'm looking forward to seeing how we respond."
Ball State (580), who is ranked No. 37 by Golfstat, sits five strokes back in third place, while Dayton (582) and Miami of Ohio (584) round out the top five. The top six teams all broke 300 in each of their two rounds.
All but one of the 12 teams played the course's four par 5s at under par, led by FGCU's impressive combined 28-under par total that was evenly split at 14-under par in each round. The Eagles also ranked third in the field in par 3 (+6) and par 4 (+26) scoring, third in pars (108), fourth in birdies (32) and tied for first with three eagles.
Pena turned a bogey-free, three-under par 69 on the 7,063-yard course in the morning round and followed with a one-under 71 in the afternoon. Sitting a stroke ahead of Curtis Loop of Georgetown and Xavier's Sebastian McLean and Peter O'Neill, Pena went the first 21 holes of the day without making a bogey. The Clewiston, Fla. product finished the day with 24 pars, seven birdies and one eagle en route to his two-round 140. Like his teammates, Pena did most of his damage on the par 5s, playing them at six-under par. Pena's back-to-back under-par rounds marked the first time in his career that he's accomplished the feat.
Senior co-captain Dan Mazziotta (Fort Myers, Fla./Cypress Lake HS) and junior Alex Medinis (Fort Myers, Fla./Fort Myers HS) each finished the day at even-par 144 to sit in a four-way tie for 11th place. Fresh off a top five finish last weekend in Chicago, Mazziotta's day began with a one-under par 71 followed by a one-over 73. Like Pena, Mazziotta played the par 5s at six-under par and had six birdies. Medinis produced back-to-back even-par 72s, carding 24 pars on the afternoon. The local Fort Myers native played the front nine at one-under par for the afternoon.
Making his second straight start, senior Gyles Robin's (Jersey, England/De La Salle College) pair of one-over par 73s put him in a six-way tie for 17th position, giving the Eagles four players in the top 20. Robin leads the field in par 5 scoring at an impressive eight-under par. During his eight trips down the course's par 5s, Robin dialed-up six birdies, one eagle and one par. Junior Jeremy Self (Tupelo, Miss./Tupelo HS) rebounded from an opening round 78 with an even-par 72 to contribute to the team score of 288 in the afternoon. Self's strong second round moved him up 16 spots into a tie for 40th.
FGCU also received solid showings from a group of players who entered the tournament as individuals and don't count towards the team score. Junior Patrick Williams (Toronto, Canada/Crescent School) turned in a bogey-free, three-under par 69 of his own in the first round and followed up with a one-over par 73 to sit in a four-way tie for fifth place. Williams went the first 24 holes without a bogey and finished the day with 25 pars and seven birdies.
Making his first collegiate appearance, freshman Matt Cote (Palm Harbor, Fla./Palm Harbor University HS), moved into a tie for 17th place (76-70/146) with a two-under par 70 in the second round. Cote's final round featured 13 pars, four birdies and a double-bogey. Senior co-captian Zach Robinson (Pensacola, Fla./Booker T. Washington HS) turned in back-to-back two-over par 74s for a solid 148. Sitting in a tie for 26th place, Robinson led the team and ranked second in the field of 70 players with 26 pars. Junior Niklas Ahola was the final individual performer for the Eagles, carding rounds of 80-78/158.
The Eagles will begin on holes 1-5 during Monday's final round that starts at 8 a.m. at The Club at Renaissance. FGCU will play alongside the top four teams; Xavier, Ball State and Dayton.

Lqdy Hqawke at least that may make social integration easier, but it must play hob on her self confidence. It is a positive, but not a real winning situation for the poor child.
Again I am glad that Little Hawke has taken an interest and that they have things in common. ;)
Oops! Sorry for messing up your name! ;)
My printer, TV, stereo, Blu-ray player, laptop, and mini fridge are all black.
I hate dust.
Good evening!
Tomorrow is a big day…..GCSE results. Son seems calm. I am trying to be, lol.
The car goes a week on Monday.
Yesterday we both went for our dental check-up, we both had a filling that had dropped out, so we will be back next month to have our fillings done. On our way home we stopped to buy a replacement door mat for our front door at our favourite hardware shop but I didn't have enough energy left to have a mooch around. It was very frustrating.
I am sitting here aghast at the video I am seeing out of Syria of hundreds of dead children and women that have been gassed with chemical weapons… There are no words, no adequate expression of the rage & disgust I feel. >:+|
I am really tired. We did grocery shopping followed by a doctor appointment for both of my parents which involve waiting in the waiting room for an hour past our appointment and then waiting in the treatment room for another 30 minutes. We had to go directly to pick my daughter up from school. Then, we headed to dinner. I left home before 10 AM and did not get home until after 6 PM, still facing evening chores. Wednesday is always a long day.
Tomorrow I have to take my father to have his ears cleaned out and to have his hearing tested. I have told my parents not to say a word about me being a professional in that field. I don't want those people looking at me and wondering why my poor "deaf as a post" father has never had a hearing aid. I don't want them wondering how I ever let him get in this condition. I've already started talking to my father about the fact they are going to talk to him about hearing aids tomorrow. The response I had from the backseat was, "I'm NOT going to have hearing aids." Okay, well, I wash my hands of it, just like I have washed my hands of it for over 25 years. I don't want to be judged by people who had not had to live with my father their entire lives.
ASTI, I have everything crossed for your son and his test scores.
Won – I am aghast and shocked too. :(
I received quite a scare yesterday. My ankle have been getting swollen so I made an appointment with my cardiologist. When I arrived yesterday he looked at my last blood work and hold me they have been calling me to come back. My blood count was dangerously low. Normal 14-16 and I was at 7.4. The cardiologist told me he wanted me to take another blood test to make sure it had not dropped more. If it was at a 6 I was to go straight to the Emergency Room to be admitted for a blood transfusion.
Of course I get all worried and I head straight for the Laboratory to get my blood drawn again. They did a rush job and thank goodness it had not changed. It was still at 7.4. The doctor still wants tests done to see why my blood count is so low. Friday I will spend it in the outpatient clinic getting a GI test done. :(
The symptoms for low blood counts are several and I had them all. I was blaming my heart for my weakness, my swollen ankles, being tired all the time. :(
I will let you know how I do on Friday.
Good morning!
I am very tensely waiting for my son to phone. He had to be at school at 10 to collect his results…………….
And he's done it!
Two A's, three B's and four C's. He's got the grades he needs to go on to 6th form to study History, Geography, Physics and Maths.
So proud and so happy, and so relieved! My clever boy!
Asti I never doubted that he would have the grades he needed. Neither you nor your spouse are lacing in intellect and he gets that from both of you. Well, minus whatever that Y chromosome does to adolescent boys. ;)
Lady Hawke My father was into serious denial about his hearing loss, too. No one who has ever lived with a person who was in that state would judge you. Most of us know how stubborn they can be and know you cannot convince them, especially if they are family members. Good luck with them convincing him of the need. ;)
Sorry lacking not lacing…. ;)
As I have said, I can spell, I cannot type, ;)
MM take care of yourself please.
Asti Congratulations to your son. It must be stressful and difficult beginning the letting go process and seeing what he makes of himself in this world. I am not looking forward it.
MM, I'm so sorry you have yet another health concern to worry you. I'm glad your labwork had not deteriorated further.
ASTI, Congratulations to your son and to all of you. I'm so pleased he is to go on with his studies. I know you were full of nerves but I know there was no serious concern he would not be continuing his studies except in your worse nightmares.
DEANIE, for a long time my father would only consider hearing aids if I would fit them. I had been testing him for years and for years he had tried to tell me how to do my work, that I wasn't testing him to suit him. So, I knew trying to fit him with hearing aids was going to be war. He would never be satisfied and it would always be my fault. He would pay for them but not wear them and it would be my doing. If he was going to give someone hell and be resentful of them for not producing what he wanted the way he wanted it, it was not going to be me. I'm not sure he would have even let me try. Starting in high school it became my fault he couldn't understand conversations. I wasn't spreaking clearly enough. In grad school I was not making th test instructions plain enough so he couldn't respond to the test properly. My daddy and I have a really good relationship until it comes to his hearing loss. Then we are at war.
Asti Wonderful news! Please give him our congratulations:)
Lady Hawke That must have been so galling, to have your expertise called into question in that way.
Asti: Well done! by your son.
Who of you in the U.S. can name the character in the last two panels? Brought back memories of my childhood.
Thank you everyone for the congrats to my son. I am so happy, and still in a dither, lol. I haven't been able to settle to anything all day long, I am on such a high!
I am getting terrible at remembering to read post here. I think I have been reading and doing other things. I think I have already been here and posted.
I have been reading a lot lately. The other day I spent the whole day shopping. Hmm I thought I told you. Maybe this is my problem. I am thinking about posting and then fail to do it. I went to Seymour to pick up a scanner at Staples. While I was there, I thought I would go to the shopping center and do a little window shopping. I did find a pair of dress sandles that are a wedge. I wore them around the store about 1/2 hour to see if they felt good. They seemed to support my foot really well. They also have a rubber sole so I won't slip. So now I can wear them with dress clothes as well as causal. The problem I have with my other dress shoes is my feet swell because I usually wear them while traveling in a car. My feet don't get elevated so they will swell and the shoes becom uncomfortable.
I was thinking about going to another store but realized it was in Columbus. Because I was thinking this, I got in the wrong lane going home. I had to turn on the road that goes to Columbus. So I stopped and called Jennifer to see if she wanted to meet me for lunch. She did but after lunch it looked like it was going to storm. So I went to Kohls to shop while it was storming. By the time I got home it was 6:00 PM.
Lady Hawke Isn't there someway you can get a temporary tag so your DS can drive the van?
Asti Too bad you worried about your son's scores. The rest of us knew he would have no problem.
As I suspected my father's hearing is even worse than it was when I lasted tested it myself over 15 years ago. We are going back to see the audiologist on Wednesday. We are going to have to walk a fine line between my father rejecting a hearing aid outright and him keeping it, paying for it, but not wearing it just to be able to say, "I did what you wanted but I hate them and I don't want to wear them". My is more worried about him spending the money on it then not wearing it. That was always my fear, my certainty, when I was fitting hearing aids. I know he needs hearing aids but I also know he won't wear them unless they fulfill his every expectation and there is no way they are going to return his hearing to anything close to normal. He has waited far too long and his hearing and ability to understand speech have deteriorated.
I just researched the price of the hearing aids I thought my father might be able to use. It is a new hearing aid that is inserted in the ear at the fitting and is not removed for three to four months. Unfortunately, the hearing aids cost about $3000 a year. It is like a subscription. Since they are being worn continuously they wear out and instead of repairing them they are just replaced, as many times as you need during a year. BUT when the next year starts it is another $3000.
I had hoped one of those might work for my father. He has manual dexterity issues since having the shingles in his hand. So, I thought the semi-permanent placement was a good idea, but not at $3000 a year. I don't really think he could handle or be bothered by anything else.
I have a feeling I will be cancelling the appointment with the audiologist.
Pre-birthday check-in. Hope everyone is well.
LADY HAWKE It looks as though you might have to take up signing if he can't or won't use hearing. See how his pride copes with that.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PB! Are you back in school yet? I seem to remember you started college on your birthday. Enjoy these 20 something years, no more big meaningful birthday for you for years to come.
GRAYMAYNE, even I am quelled by the thought of hearing aids that are a $3000 subscription a year for each ear. At least when you purchased a traditional hearing aid you paid for it once and it was yours until it literally wore out. That was generally years, at least three or four years, and sometimes much longer than that. Medical insurance does not pay for hearing aids and never has. The wax removal and the test yesterday will be paid for by the insurance but no part of the hearing aids will be. It will be all out of pocket, hence the anxiety about purchasing them and not wearing them.
Hearing aids do not return your hearing to normal. Although they do make voices louder they also make extraneous ambient noise louder as well. For decades hearing aid manufacturers have fought against this duality. So, wearing and accepting hearing aids is not as easy as just a decision to wear them. After you start you can find the increase in ambient noise is more worrying than the benefit you receive from the increased loudness of voices.
When they turned the microphone on as loud as possible yesterday and asked my father to repeat a list of words he only got 26% correct in one ear and 36% correct in the other. He has no testable high pitch hearing in one ear and almost no testable high pitch hearing in the other. High pitches are wear consonants are made. The hearing is just gone and no amount of amplification will reach those pitches. He has normal hearing in the low pitches. Therefore, he can hear voices as loudly as he ever did but because those high pitches are missing he can understand words. He just hears a lot of vowels with a consonant hear and there. His middle pitches show a moderate hearing loss so hearing aids would help bring in a limited number of consonants found in those middle pitches. Granted those test words were words in isolation without contextual information but it illustrates his ears don't hear and understand so well even at extremely loud presentation levels.
He does as well as he does because he uses the context of the conversation and his naturally learned ability to "lip read" to prop himself up. When he is in a noisy place like a restaurant he can't even hear the voice of the person he is speaking to over the voices of all the other people having other conversations. With hearing aids it is hoped he would gain a little more useful information and be able to enhance his contextual and lip reading skills. Unfortunately, in noisy situations he is still going to have limited success with the hearing aids.
So, there are a lot of "ifs" involved. If he gets useful benefit. If the extraneous noise is tolerable. If the extraneous noise is not so confusing as to negatively overwhelm any potential benefit. If they are comfortable enough to wear. If my parents can manage to pay for them.
I think if it was as simple as putting on a pair of glasses and having them restore his hearing as glasses restore vision I think he would do it. Unfortunately, hearing aids are not so neat and so effective.
Happy (wow you are getting old!) birthday PB.
Good evening!
We had a lovely but tiring day today. I took my offspring (I love that word, lol!) to meet up with Mum. Her mobility problems are getting worse…….she is seeing a consultant in pain management…..as in, they can't fix the pain and her problems……so we spent a lot of time sitting down, drinking coffee and eating sugary things.
I did manage to get new uniform for my daughter, and got some new clothes for son. He no longer needs to wear school uniform, but still needs smart casual clothes for school. Thank you, credit card!
Mum pre warned son that he would be getting a big, big hug and a kiss, in public and everything, for his results. Son bore it very well, lol, even bending down so she could kiss him more easily! Mum gave him £50 as a well done gift.
Lady Hawke, both my parents have hearing aids. Dad held off for a long while, he just "borrowed" one of Mums. Yes, seriously. He does have his own now, but uses them only sporadically. As your Father has been so resistant for so long, I think it is unlikely that anything will change his mind, or make it less your fault. I doubt it is worth the expense. But good luck to you all!
Hugs to PB! Happy Birthday you!
Lady Hawke Your father's problems are familiar to me because my DS damaged his hearing in his mid-twenties when riding a particular motorbike at race meetings. It left him with tinnitus. Age has slowly increased his hearing loss in the upper register, so he can't hear bird song, certain high notes in classical music and voices on the telephone give him trouble. He finds the female voice more difficult to hear than male ones and conversation in noisy backgrounds like busy pubs is impossible. He can't cope with sound in the cinema so I watch films alone or go with my neighbour. We always have the subtitles on when we watch films on TV, but that doesn't help with TV news because the subtitles are always out of sync. He recently had his ears syringed by the nurse at our medical centre and life has become easier, for both of us. I recognise difficulty with hearing consonants, it hadn't struck me that they fell into the high range. I sometimes have to spell out a word if he still can't catch it when I e nun ci ate sl ow ly. Our new landline telephone system is a big improvement. he has no difficulty hearing the caller provided they don't have a strong accent. There is a bonus to the situation, our son has always been made aware of the necessity of protecting his hearing, so he hasn't damaged his hearing with playing music too loudly on any device. He can no longer hear bats squeaking, as he could as a youngster, but he possibly has better hearing than any of his contemporaries.
Phones are sometimes actually easier for people with hearing losses, not counting the inability to see the speaker and read lips. Everyone has a high frequency hearing loss on a phone. Phones don't pass frequencies over 4000Hz. So, a lot of the area where my father and probably your DS have the most problem hearing so does everyone else on a phone. Until a person's hearing is really awful they can usually do okay on a phone. The phone is a piece of audiotory "magic". That was how it was explained to us in graduate school by a very prominent PhD who is a world renown expert in hearing aid fittings. According to her phones were "magic", allowing almost everyone to converse successfully while creating a very noticable profound high pitch hearing loss in everyone who uses them. For some reason the human brain fills in the missing bits on the phone.
ASTI, I'm sorry to hear your mother is having so little success in controlling her discomfort. It is good you have the pleasant option of coffee and sugary things. I suppose now you will find out whether it is easier to provide a uniform or street clothes. Will your son still be attending the same school for 6th Form or will he be going elsewhere? If going elsewhere how far away will the new school be?
I have no serious expectation of my father successfully wearing hearing aids. I have had to stop myself from calling and cancelling the appointment. I may well do so yet.
When I was working people would drag very elderly, very resistant parents into my office to be fit with hearing aids. It was my job to sell hearing aids to people. So, I would go through with the process, knowing in my heart it was a fruitless endeavor, that I would end up taking the hearing aids and sending them back to the manufacturer. I would go through the process more to illustate to the children that it wasn't going to work without their parent's full participation and determination. I have had to fit people who couldn't see, who had terrible manual dexterity, who were teetering into senility, who were openly hostile. I was not very successful at selling hearing aids for a living. I simply couldn't make myself insist people keep those expensive little objects I knew they weren't using or weren't capable of using.
To be successful with hearing aids you really need to have your full faculties about you or someone else living with you full time who can take care of them and insert and remove them when you can't. An ideal hearing aid patient is a young person up to an active fully competent senior, someone who is still active and alert with good dexterity, someone with motivation who is willing to be diligent and responsible. My father could have done it 27 years ago if he had wanted to, now, I'm not so sure, probably not.
Can anyone tell I am angst ridden about this and I've been giving it much too much thought?

Obsess Less About Germs
November 14, 2012 at 9:53 am , by Julie Bain
What is that nice stagehand doing to me, right, on the Today Show set—and why is a toilet there, you might ask?
Oh, the glamor of television! He was unzipping my dress to hook a microphone pack onto my bra so I could talk to Hoda and Kathie Lee about the Germs story in our November issue. We wanted to show some household items that may (or may not) carry germs that can make you sick. Thus, the toilet.
It's cold and flu season, and you've got to protect yourself from those viruses. But do you need to obsessively clean every square inch of your home? No.
In fact, experts told us, while germs are everywhere, only about 1 percent of them are the bad kind that can make you sick—and many actually keep you healthy. Plus, even if you come in contact with bad bacteria or viruses, they won't make you sick unless they get into your body. How do they do that? Mostly by your hands. So your first line of defense is to keep your hands out of your eyes, nose and mouth. And wash your hands often with good old plain soap and water. (The antibacterial kind may contribute to antibiotic-resistant bugs.)
Before we went on the air, Kathie Lee shared that she's not a germophobe at all—and she seldom gets sick. Good for her! See our TV segment by clicking here. Some of the advice will surprise you!
And see all of our info and advice in "A Non-Neurotic Guide To Germs" in the November issue of Ladies' Home Journal or by clicking here.

I have reached the point in my '48 SA restoration where I am cleaning gasket and seal surfaces in preparation for reassembly. Units include, but are not limited to, carb, valve cover, rear engine seals (paper and felt), oil pan, final drive oil pans, pto and belt pulley, final drive, transmission cover, etc. Materials are cork, paper, felt, seals, o-rings, etc.
In the past I have been told "no sealant", RTV (red or black?), Permatex (type?), and so forth. What I am looking for is a consensus from you "experts" on just what is the best.
1. How do I prep the metal surface after making sure it is clean and free of old gasket material and rust and gunk?
2. Should I use any kind of sealant on:
paper gaskets?
cork gaskets?
felt seals? (rear engine seal)
exhaust manifold gaskets?
shims? (metal-to-metal and they have been cleaned with emory-cloth)
lip seals? (don't most new ones come with a "sealing film" on outside?)
3. If I use a sealant, do I let it tack up or bolt the parts together right away.
4. How tight against cork, paper, etc, do I tighten down the bolts?
5. And any other pointers you can think of!
Thanks in advance...again!

Through using a few of the following Internet business strategies, your business will become what you want it to be. Some people want to create an online company that will allow them the financial freedom to never work again, while other people want to create the type of company they want to work in. Regardless of what kind of Internet business you want to start, there are some fundamental points that are time-tested, both online and off.
Why Start an Internet Business?
Most Internet business opportunities come highly recommended by the folks who have made them work well. The lifestyle benefits are great for some people, but you need to be wary. Many Internet business professionals will try to lure you in with the promise of near-instant riches. While it's illegal to promise outright that you'll be a work from home millionaire, live in a mansion and drive any kind of sports car you want by this time next year, they do suggest that this is highly probable once you've bought what they're selling. Keep in mind that they tend to run their ads in the middle of the night, when most people aren't in their most lucid frame of mind.
Another popular line the gurus like to use is the phrase "fully automated," which implies that once you toss together your Internet business it'll just pour out cash like a magical oil well. Unfortunately, no business works this way, and every business requires that you do a great deal of work. In fact, the more profitable your business ends up being, the more work you have to put in. Also, there will never be a time when your business needs absolutely no work.
One of the greatest travesties of the modern world is that so many people are frustrated because their standards are unrealistically high. Even the most gifted businesspeople can't grow a successful company in only a few months. Even the best-constructed business requires no human intervention to work properly. Unfortunately, the late night gurus continue to preach this horrible gospel, and many people who could be successful if they used better strategies give up before they achieve any tangible success.
Your Business is Your Subsistence Garden
The first step in taking your Internet business to a successful place is seeing it as more than just a hobby. You need to see it as a subsistence garden. Subsistence gardens aren't full of garnishes and flowers, but food you need to store up if you intend to survive the winter. If you treat your business like a subsistence garden, you will automatically hone in on what's most important.
If you go into your business looking at it as a hobby, you won't do as well as if you view the hours you can spend growing and nurturing your business as the start of something important. Naturally, you can start your Internet business while you still have a day job, but many people fail because they never take their business seriously enough. If you think of your business as your lifeline, the entire game changes.
To really grow and be prosperous with your business, you need to consider a lot of sections, including but not limited to:
- Marketing
- Ad Tracking
- Cash flow management
- Customer service
- Product testing
- Website design and functionality
- Information storage
- Website maintenance and accessibility
You need to decide at the very beginning whether this is going to be akin to growing some daisies and watermelons in the back yard, or whether you're willing to uproot your entire lawn and start the farm that will keep food on your table permanently. This is an either-or proposition, and is not a decision to make flippantly.
You and Your Business Must Flow
Just like in any other business, the way time and money flows through your business is a series of constant, extremely important decisions. Every moment you spend working needs to be on something useful, and you need to decide where you can most effectively use the money you take in to further grow your business. Some obvious uses of money include setting aside a portion for rough patches in the business cycle, keeping an account for taxes and reinvesting a portion of your revenue into scaling your operation.
You must also carefully guard your time. Decide how to deal with time-wasting activities, such as endlessly messing with color schemes and trying to chase down uninterested leads. Every moment you spend on something needless is a moment you will never get back. Some of the most effective uses of time involve finding ways to automate repetitive processes and designing operations you can have employees carry out. While your business will always need someone to do certain tasks, this someone doesn't have to be you.
Also, some of the worst ways some business owners try to fight their own flow involve trying to sell valueless things and using marketing strategies that don't attract the right kinds of customers. You must endlessly test your marketing, until you know your intended customers better than they know themselves. You also need to be certain your product or service fulfills a need in your target customer's life. Offering something no one wants is a great way to go hungry.
Another important part of flow is to be available and professional in your Internet business. Your potential customers must have at least two methods of contacting you, and they should be able to find these methods on your social networking profiles and your business's website. When you receive a query, answer it as soon as possible. While you might not always be able to answer a question immediately, the least you can do is promise to find out and follow-up soon.
Keep Excellent Records
There are a lot of components to your Internet marketing efforts. Where do you get the most leads, and is this the same place you get your best leads from? What percentage of your leads convert into paying customers? Even details such as the words you use in your advertising copy are important. Put out slightly different versions of the same ad, and see which one draws in more customers. You might be amazed at what tiny changes in your approach result in massively different results.
E-mail marketing is a slightly different animal to quantify. Test a lot of different e-mails, and you'll come to see different response patterns. Keep detailed records of your opt-ins, your opt-outs, and do your best to deduce why they happened.
Every detail of your business needs to be carefully recorded. This is partially for your reference, but it will also help tremendously when you start hiring employees to do more and more of the work. One day you may even write a detailed manual of how things are done in your company, and more data means more solid systems.
Summing it Up
- Market and test constantly
- Add value to other people's lives
- Take your business and your professional presence seriously
- Ensure your systems work as well as possible
If you follow these time-honored principles, your Internet business has a higher-than-average chance of being a long-term success.

"Deathly Hallows: Part 2" DVD and Blu-ray Release November 11?DH Film
Reports have been making their way online stating that November 11, 2011 will be the release date for the US "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" DVD and Blu-ray editions. Blu-ray.com reports that multiple editions are set for release on this date, including a four disc combo pack, two disc Blu-ray, and Blu-ray 3D disc copy of the film. Word on any special features the editions may have has not been released, but, interestingly enough, November 11th is also the date when Universal Orlando's Wizarding World of Harry Potter is scheduled to start their "Celebration of Harry Potter Films" at the park. Leaky is awaiting official confirmation from WB on the exact release date of the DVDs, so this news sits in the rumor category for the time being.

Olympian Wiggins hurt in collision
11:00pm Wednesday 7th November 2012 in National News © Press Association 2014
Tour de France cycling champion and Olympic gold medallist Bradley Wiggins is recovering in hospital after a collision with a car.
Wiggins, 32, was thrown off his bike when a white Vauxhall Astra is thought to have pulled out of a petrol station and collided with him.
A police source said his injuries from the crash were thought to be very serious at first, but later it appeared he suffered a number of broken ribs and cuts and bruises. The driver of the Astra, a local woman, was uninjured.
The accident happened at about 6pm on Wednesday in Wrightington, Lancashire, which is near to his family home in Eccleston.
Father-of-two Wiggins is known to regularly embark on training rides around the area's rural roads.
A Lancashire Police spokesman said: "Police were called to the scene of a road traffic accident at Crow Orchard Road in Wrightington at about 6pm this evening. A cyclist has been involved in a collision with a white Vauxhall Astra car. The rider of the bike, a 32-year-old local man, was taken to hospital by ambulance with injuries not thought to be life-threatening. His family have been told."
Collision investigators visited the scene but the road did not need to be closed.
Garage attendant Yasmin Smith, who rushed to Wiggins's aid, told the Lancashire Evening Post: "By the time I got there he had moved to a safer place but was still on the ground and he was in a lot of pain. He said he thought he had broken his ribs and while a lot of police cars arrived it was about 15 minutes before the ambulance got there, by which time he was blue."
In a statement on its website, Team Sky said: "We can confirm that on Wednesday evening Bradley Wiggins was involved in a road traffic accident whilst riding his bike near his home in Lancashire.
"He is being kept in hospital overnight for observation but the injuries he has sustained are not thought to be serious and he is expected to make a full and speedy recovery. We will announce more details in due course."

In Wonderland, even the flowers are extraordinary. Not only do they all have expressive faces, they're also apt to break out in song at any given moment. Made from felt, the personable button-face blossoms shown here can't sing, but they're great at lending a fashionable flair to a child's sun visor or headband. You can even glue one onto a pin back to create a mini corsage.
You'll need:
- Fantastical Felt Flowers template
- Scissors
- Pins (for attaching the template to the felt)
- Stiff white felt
- Pencil
- Glue dots or tacky glue
- Large button with two buttonholes
- 2 small googly eyes
1. Print out the template, and use it to cut two matching flower shapes out of stiff white felt.
2. Roll each flower petal around a pencil to slightly curl the tips. This will make the assembled flower more dimensional.
3. Glue one of the flower shapes atop the other, staggering the petals.
4. For the flower face, glue a pair of googly eyes onto the button, placing one eye near the edge of the button and the other over the buttonhole farthest from it. Leave the second buttonhole uncovered to resemble a small round mouth.
5. Glue the button onto the center of the felt flower. Now your child can stick her friendly-face flower to a visor or headband, or on just about anything else she'd like to decorate.

After getting a step grandson (12yo) and having a new 6 month old grandson i been planning on building some youth rifles. I been thinking of using the 7mm mauser action(south american) and the swedish 6,5mm mauser for my builds. I'm thinking of shortening the 6,5mm barrel to 17" or 18" and the 7mm mauser barrel to 18" or 20". Then rework the stocks to match the actions. As the kids get older these will be nice, low recoil youth rifles.
I just purchased a 1890 winchester 22cal pump and a 1906 remington pump for them too. I already have a husqvarna single shot bolt action for them too. Now i want to get a lever action 22cal too so they can learn how to operate and shoot every kind of action. I been seeing these older pumps around $750 to $1,200 too but i found a few at under $500. I really didn't want to drop that much $$ right now but grandpa's old pump rifle has been haunting me bad because i always wanted one.
I'm planning ahead now incase i pass on, they will be all set. I'm thinking about setting up a trust fund for there dirtbikes too. The baby already has an electric dirtbike that my son is fixing right now. He'll be riding by 3 or 4 yo.

A North Texas Father, given just two weeks to live, got to walk his daughter down the aisle at her wedding, almost an entire year earlier than planned. The father of the bride, Joey McClure, has terminal cancer. His daughter Tori changed her December fourteenth wedding date to January twenty-fifth so he could play his part in her wedding.
Tori was left to plan her wedding in a little more than two weeks. But she had a lot of help from church members, family, friends, and even strangers. "I was not stressed at all, we were just hanging out having fun ," said newlywed Tori Stixrud.
Everything from the bride's dress, to the tuxedos, to the flowers and even the cakes and decorations were donated. Many of the vendors providing services came from the Dallas Bridal Show. "We brought all the vendors together within a week to set this up, and normally planning for a wedding can take up to a year," said Chevy spokesperson Sara Leeper.
"I'm excited and happy, I mean it was amazing and there were so many people there supporting us," said Stixrud.
Tori's father Joey said he was happy he could be there on his daugher's special day. "I'm thrilled to be able to walk her down the aisle to fulfill her dreams, and to make her day complete," said McClure.
Tori Stixrug and her husband Kevin met at the First Assembly of God in Mesquite.
