PITTSBURGH - DECEMBER 06: James Harrison #92 of the Pittsburgh Steelers gestures during the game against the Oakland Raiders on December 6, 2009 at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. (Photo by Gregory Shamus/Getty Images)
According to Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the Steelers and James Harrison's agent Bill Parise have been discussing a way to restructure his contract to lower his 2013 cap number. Harrison, who will be 35 in two months, is scheduled to make salaries of $6.57 million this season and $7.575 million in 2014 in the final two years of his contract. Parise did not say if those discussions include a request by the Steelers for a reduction in salary or a restructured contract that could spread out the salary cap hit this year with an extension that neither side would expect to be fulfilled. "We're talking," Parise said. "Both sides want to try to do something. We're trying to common ground." If they can't agree on something, Harrison will likely be cut.

HOT TOPICS: Alcoholism Addiction AA Cocaine Heroin
Shaq Attacks Campus Binge Drinking
At 7'1", Shaquille O'Neal was always a huge presence on court; now he's hoping to make similar impact against campus binge drinking. He and Rep. Emmanuel Cleaver (D-MO), spoke for a campaign sponsored by the Century Council to fight binge drinking at historically black colleges and universities. Cleaver and O'Neal share a personal investment in the cause: Shaq's uncle Tom Nelson, a close friend of Cleaver's, was killed as a passenger in a single-car crash. The driver had been drinking heavily. "He walked away without a scratch, and my best friend was killed instantly. He went right through the dash," says Cleaver. "That had an impact on my life forever." Although this campaign is targeted towards historically black universities, a recent study from Morgan State University showed that binge drinking rates at these schools are lower than at universities with a predominantly white student body: "It may be that when students at historically black schools go out, it is for a purpose," says researcher Linda Loubert, comparing this to the "casual style of 'let's go drinking'" found at many universities. But Cleaver says he hopes to make clear that weekend binge drinking can be even deadlier than the drinking patterns that many understand as alcoholism. "People will generally shun alcoholics, but they won't shun binge drinkers—because on Monday, everybody's at work," he says. "Nobody is falling out on the campus. They're back in class, so obviously there's nothing wrong with them."
Flying Tomato Crashes to Earth
Double Olympic gold medalist Shaun White—"The Flying Tomato"—has been charged with vandalism and public intoxication in Nashville, Tennessee, after allegedly causing drunken chaos. The 26-year-old snowboarding phenomenon was a guest at Nashville's Loews Vanderbilt Hotel this weekend. Police were summoned at 2 am Sunday morning, after a fire alarm was pulled by a drunk man—identified as White—causing the hotel to be evacuated. A hotel employee also claims to have witnessed White destroying a hotel telephone. Police say the athlete smelled of alcohol and appeared extremely intoxicated. White then attempted to leave the scene and was stopped by a hotel guest—whom White allegedly kicked before running away. The man chased him, and the two collided, causing White to fall backwards and hit his head on a fence. The Olympian was taken to a local hospital and given the opportunity to sign misdemeanor citations—but refused. "He basically put himself in jail by not signing that," says a police source. White was released from the hospital early yesterday morning, and arrested shortly after. Released later in the day, he's set to appear in court on October 10. This isn't White's first hotel-related incident: back in December 2007, he was cited by Colorado police after discharging a fire extinguisher.

Booze to Flow Through Disney's Magic Kingdom
"You have your purists. You have the people saying. 'Walt is spinning in his grave'" admits A.J. Wolfe, editor of the Disney Food Blog. She reports a 50-50 split in reader opinion on a new decree in Disney's Magic Kingdom: for the first time in the park's 41 years, guests will be able to buy booze. But before we start conjuring images of drunken mobs brutalizing Mickey Mouse and friends, the wine and beer will only be sold at one specific restaurant and only during dinner hours. The "Be Our Guest" restaurant is based on Beauty and the Beast, and will serve French cuisine, which apparently demands alcoholic accompaniments. "You cannot walk into a French restaurant and not get a glass of wine or beer," explains Maribeth Bisienere, vice president of food and beverage for Walt Disney Parks. "It made more sense to do it than not to do it." Be Our Guest will now offer 20 wines and several Belgian and French beers. Says Bisienere, "We really wanted to wait until it became something that worked with the particular theme."
Tanzania Starts Needle Giveaway
Next month, the government of Tanzania will begin issuing medical injection equipment such as hypodermic syringes, needles and swabs to narcotic drug abusers, in a major effort to prevent the spread of HIV. The "Needle, Syringe Programme" (NSP) will also educate addicts on safe injections and the dangers of needle-sharing. It's an approach that has plenty of opponents: "Surely, this cannot be the solution to the problem," says Fabian Theopil, the secretary general of Sober Tanzania, an organization that combats alcohol and drug abuse. "The plan will only succeed in promoting addiction among our youths." Sober Tanzania is completely against the program, and is asking the government to look for a better solution. The situation is urgent—a recent survey found that 51% of the estimated 25,000 people injecting drugs in Tanzania are HIV positive.
Other approaches are available: the Muhimbili National Hospital began providing methadone treatment back in 2007, and now sees about 490 patients. According to Dr. Frank Masao, head of the hospital's psychiatry department, the biggest challenge is just getting addicts to come in daily to receive their methadone, due to transportation and personal issues. "They have a specific kind of life where they only think of getting the drug and nothing else," he says. "After the therapy we try to rehabilitate them often giving them something to do thereafter. Some of them engage in gardening at the clinic." Despite these difficulties, the project is considered a success—so much so that the government decided to open more methadone clinics at other hospitals. Says Dr. Hussein Mwinyi, the Minister for Health and Social Welfare: "This effort is tailored to bring the methadone treatment closer to patients so they can easily access it without having to travel from afar."
Ex-Party Girls (and Boys) Party On
Last night, My 12-Step Store in West Hollywood threw a celebration in honor of Recovery Month and Fix Executive Editor Anna David, whose first novel, Party Girl, they now carry. As guests guzzled soft drinks and Speaker Water, old friends reunited and new TV shows were shot. Seth "Shifty" Binzer made his first public appearance since falling into a coma in April—and a VH1 crew followed him around to capture the now-sober action. Meanwhile Iron Man 3 star Ashley Hamilton met up again with Tom Sizemore: the two were in each other's weddings in the '90s (Sizemore's to actress Maeve Quinlan, Hamilton's to model Angie Everhart) but hadn't seen one another in years. Councilman and former West Hollywood mayor John Duran joined Hills owner Howard Samuels, Malibu Beach Sober Living owners Charlie Bentz and Kimberly James, Recovery Media chairman Paul McCulley, Fix contributors Nic Sheff and Amy Dresner, and My 12-Step Store owner RJ Holguin, as Sizemore and Shifty spoke to TMZ and David signed copies of the book that details her journey from Hollywood party girl to sober woman. Sizemore, who tapped David to be the co-writer of his biography, I Can't Believe I Made It Out of There Alive (due in April, 2013 from Simon & Schuster), said he loved being a part of the sober action: "I haven't had this much fun at a party in years."

The Professional's Choice® VenTech™ Leather Ankle Boot combines ventilated neoprene with imported French leather. Classic in appearance, these hind horse boots are durable and water-resistant. They're contoured for a comfortable fit and lined with breathable neoprene that allows heat and moisture to escape.
The Neue Schule Team Up 12mm Bradoon is an ergonomic redesign of the traditional French link mouth. The Salox® Gold mouthpiece is contoured over the tongue to deliver gentler action and is also curved to align itself under the upper palate. It typically promotes consistent contact and encourages the horse to soften through the jaw and lengthen the neck.
The ThinLine® Braided Hunter Reins are it when it comes to riding comfort. These reins are laced and made of English leather with a layer of ThinLine foam which conforms to your hand. Anti-slip grip. Hook stud closure. 54"L
The Gina Miles Kimberwicke Bit with curb chain and hooks from Professional's Choice® has a low port mouthpiece that is gentler in action than a broken mouthpiece.
The Equine Comfort Grip Tech Eventing Pad lets you and your horse face any cross country challenge with confidence. This non-slip saddle pad pairs a brushed cotton lining with a 1/2" thick high-compression foam top that protects both horse and rider from impact. It's moisture-wicking and breathable, too.
This Stübben Equi-Soft® Dressage Girth with Sheepskin Back represents an ingenious system of relieving girthing problems that result in poor performance. The Equi-Soft Girth relieves constriction with an exclusive system of elastic rings for perfect girth pressure distribution. Its shape allows the horse to expand its chest when needed.
Popular in the jumper ring, the Dy'on Rope Noseband is designed to go with the Dy'on anatomic headpiece with brass cheek buckles on each side. This noseband features a waxed rope nose and premium English leather. The chin is padded and has a brass roller buckle for easy adjustment.
The Professional's Choice® VenTech™ Leather Open Front Boots combine traditional and high-tech materials. These classic looking, water-resistant front horse boots are made of imported French leather and ventilated neoprene. They're contoured for comfort and constructed with soft tendon bars that hold the boots precisely in place.
The HS KK Ultra Sensogan® B-Ring Bit is designed to accommodate a narrower palate with its shortened center link rotated 45°. The Sensogan mouthpiece helps promote bit acceptance, and it maintains its elegant coloring longer. This B-ring bit has a 16mm Sensogan mouth and cheeks.
The Schockemohle Contoured Jumper Girth has a protective wide belly area with a center carabiner type fastener for training aids. Stainless steel roller buckles with recessed grooves for the buckle tongues make for a bulk-free fit under the leg. This leather jumper girth has two D-rings at the sides.
The Neue Schule Transform 12mm Weymouth Bit features a Salox® Gold mouthpiece and 7cm stainless steel shanks. This bit design typically helps horses that are overactive in the mouth and is so comfortable that horses usually don't draw back their tongues to relieve pressure. Salox is a high copper alloy that helps promote softness and bit acceptance.

Lakers' Byron Scott navigating early season challenges with players' support
Well after another double-digit loss, Lakers coach Byron Scott stays wide awake with plenty racing through his head. Even when the clock strikes 2 a.m., Scott often still thinks about a few issues.

Scott stays hopeful the Lakers will follow the blueprint he outlined, which entails winning their...
Lakers' Xavier Henry out for 2014-15 season after rupturing left Achilles
It seems hard to imagine given how full the Lakers' training room has already become. But the Lakers just took another significant turn with their injury-riddled roster. An MRI taken on Monday shows that Lakers reserve forward Xavier Henry has a ruptured left Achilles tendon, an injury that will sideline him for the rest of the 2014-15 season. Henry suffered the injury during a 3-on-3 drill during Monday's practice, and Lakers officials immediately feared what the...

Defense shows up, but Lakers fall in overtime to Denver
The Lakers were coming off a 34-point loss at Dallas in which the Mavericks shot a whopping 62.2 percent from the field. It put a bit of a damper on a 2-1 road trip that began with impressive victories over Atlanta and Houston. "Do we have to get better on defense? Of course, we do," first-year coach Byron Scott said ahead of the Lakers' game Sunday night against the visiting Denver Nuggets. The Lakers were much better defensively, head and shoulders above...

Denver Nuggets' Brian Shaw compares Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan
Kobe Bryant once spent part of his teenage years studying every move Michael Jordan made, hopeful that eventually he could emulate them. Though it will hardly end the debate that has encompassed Bryant's 19-year career, he has emulated Jordan's game enough to surpass him in one category that defined both of the players' skill sets. Bryant entered the Lakers' game on Sunday against the Denver Nuggets at Staples Center only 246 points shy of surpassing Jordan...

L.A. Lakers' Wayne Ellington to dedicate season to deceased father
DALLAS >> His eyes looked swollen, red and teary as Lakers reserve guard Wayne Ellington calmly retold what has marked the "lowest of all lows that I've ever been at in my life." Ellington learned his father was murdered nearly two weeks ago in Philadelphia. After taking a leave of absence that entailed missing six games and attending his father's funeral, Ellington pledged he will dedicate the 2014-15 season to him. "He was so ecstatic...

I'm better. That's the main thing. I'm not frelling enough better but I'm MUCH BETTER. And thank you for all the friendly forum messages to this effect.
So first there was the really bad ME day, as I thought, which was my warning, except I didn't know it. And then there was the memorable forty-eight hours of twelve-hour bouts with minor hiatuses between of throwing up every time I stood up. This would be an interesting experience anyway but it was made exquisitely more interesting by the fact of a hellmob and no back up plan.
A hellmob, what's more, who will not crap in their own garden(s). And only Chaos is willing to pee in the cottage courtyard which is, admittedly, small, and he only pees there because he has recently developed prostate problems and HAS TO PEE WHEN HE HAS TO PEE. Which is often. Pav, by the way, is the most supernaturally continent dog I've ever even heard of, and this talent is probably worth keeping her entire* through the dramas of fertile season, all questions of beauty and bloodlines aside, even with two entire male hellhounds in the vicinity. Mind you, this talent often causes me additional anxiety when the circumstances are that she has to pee here and now and the locale does not suit her hellladyship, but I've given up arguing with her. She knows what the command 'squat' means and she'll piddle like three drops while looking at me out of those bright evil little eyes, and then stop when I know she's got a full tankload on board . . . arrrgh.
Anyway. The whole staying up till three or four a.m. really comes into its own when you have stomach flu and need to get your hellmob out of their garden so they will frelling well crap, because there's no one around to notice you heaving in the shrubbery. Sigh. Let's not discuss how interesting picking up after them has been for several days, and the dizzy spells that go with not eating.** We should perhaps also not discuss Peter's reaction when he found me (still) sleeping on the floor of the dining room Sunday morning. Lighten up! If I'd wanted a bed-like object I could have lain on the frelling sofa! I was sure I was going to be enough better any minute to amble back to the cottage as usual! And therefore I didn't want to sleep really! I was just . . . resting in a posture less likely to make my appalling stomach go into another of its cursed paroxysms!
The second forty-eight hours was the beginning to be able to stand upright again phase, or might have been able to stand upright if there were any available calories to provide energy for this surprisingly complicated task.*** Stomach: We're fine, we're fine, stand around all you like if you want to, just don't bother us with any food. Every other cell in my body: We're starving! We're STAAAAARVING! Stomach: It's good for your character. Every other cell in my body: STAAAAAAAAAARVING! Every other cell in my body won, partly because of the passing out in the shrubbery while tottering after hellcritters post-acute-stage thing. Whereupon we entered the subset of the second phase, which is the Large Burning Column Occupying Most of Your Body Especially the Stomach Area subphase.† I'm not quite out of this . . . but that may have as much to do with the last week's business falling on me as from a height today when I'm finally almost recognisably functional again as it does with the remains of my deplorable lurgi.
Meanwhile, speaking of life catching up with me, I have a Samaritans duty tomorrow††, Street Pastors again Friday, and a meeting with Alfrick on Saturday. From which I hope to come home inspired finally to finish the KES ep that has been dangling around hopefully for a fortnight or more. Oh, I haven't wasted all my KES time however: it may interest some of you that The Story So Far list is finally up to date.

* Spaying is notoriously hard on a bitch's bladder control. Most bitches are fine after, but you still don't want to press it too hard. Or at least I have always tried not to. Among other things a clean dog hates losing it indoors. He/she will be miserable and ashamed. Which is how I found out Chaos really couldn't hold it any more. And the miserable-and-ashamed is why you don't put your critters in a position where they can't help it . . . if you can help it.^
^ I have mostly managed to put Boskone out of my mind, and going back to America for the first time in a decade. Not. And if never going anywhere starts haunting me I can frelling well sign up for that homeopathy course that I'm going to take, I'm just having a little trouble finding time right now.+ Oh, and money.
+ I'm sure there's a homeopathic answer to this lurgi, but my usual stalwart in these cases had no effect at all and I was not . . . in much shape for hunting for a better match.
** I've never particularly bought into the Sensitivity of Your Furry Companions theory. They may lie down beside you on the floor in a friendly and affectionate manner but that's because you're on the floor, and if you get up suddenly and abruptly and disturb their slumbers they will look at you reproachfully. My experience is more that they want what they want and when you aren't providing it they want to know why. They're not great on compromise either: The hellmob don't crap in the garden and that means they don't crap in the garden. And, you know, this around the block at 3 am thing? Where are their hurtles? Also the hellhounds entirely stopped eating the minute I took my eye off the ball/food dish and have probably lost as much weight as I have arrrrrrrrgh. It doesn't suit any of us. Haggard is not kind to the late middle aged.^ As an ex-fat person I can say authoritatively, There is such a thing as thin enough. I am that thing, or was last week. There is also such a thing as being too thin, which is what I am now. When your frelling belt, required to keep your trousers up^^, gives you frelling pressure sores on your hip bones, you are too thin.^^^ Fortunately you, or anyway I, gain weight lost through illness back pretty fast as soon as I'm eating again, which is still a slightly aggrieved issue.
^ It's not actually kind to anyone and as an elderly feminist who has been through the whole body image frenzy decade after decade after decade after DECADE, it makes me NUTS that nothing has really changed, including that young women—and, apparently, increasingly, young men—are encouraged, or maybe I mean aggravated or harassed, into thinking that skeletal is attractive. No! It's not! Not unless you're a straightedge or a picket fence! It's just you can get away with it better when you're young and your skin still has some collagen!+
+ Me? I'm used to the way I look. Do I have body image problems? Sure. I'm still breathing.#
# And food is only the enemy if your digestion is possessed by demons.
^^Interesting Conversations with Your Stomach: Me: Look, you perverse organ, my jeans will fall down. Stomach: No! No! No belt! Can't stand a belt! No belt! Me: It won't come anywhere near you, you prat, you're in direct contact with my backbone.
^^^ I suppose I could take a few penknives, keys, small notebooks with writing implements etc out of my jeans pockets for the moment.
*** I was knitting^ while listening to the radio tonight and there was one of these snippet-science programmes that reported earnestly that eating protein is GOOD for you. Here we go again. Even before I officially had ME I had energy-fluctuation problems and absolutely must have not merely unfashionably high levels of protein but unfashionably high levels of animal protein including red meat. I've been fighting this battle for decades too and vegetarians are fine, some of my best friends^^ etc, but the holier-than-thou brigade of [insert superfood of the week here] and pure thoughts really get up my nose. The revelation that more than a minimal level of protein is good for you reminds me of the walking is not weight-bearing exercise allegation a decade or three ago. No, no! Of course it isn't! We didn't evolve to walk, we evolved to train in gyms on fancy weight-bearing exercise machinery!
^ Contrary to pathetic tweets earlier in the week I actually have done a fair amount of reading and knitting recently. I can't remember if I told you that Aloysius loaned me a frelling great brick-like volume which is a commentary on the first four books of the Bible+ and when he was checking up on me earlier in the week he asked how I was getting on with it. It is too heavy to read lying down.
+ With constant irritating references to the Pentateuch.

† I managed to eat something very nearly resembling dinner last night which disappeared into the calorie deficit with indecent haste and I was then hungrier than ever. I usually have fruit both first thing in the morning and last thing at night and I WOULD FRELLING KILL FOR AN APPLE, I am an apple junkie and most of the year eat several a day. I was staring at the fruit bowl last night with a savage lust and . . . eventually ate a pear, not because one raw tree fruit is likely to be less provoking than another raw tree fruit, but because I'm so deprived if I ate one apple I'd probably eat six, which I'm sure would not be a good idea right now. But what is it about pears? You can have totally over rotten, hard tasteless grainy meh and DIVINE all in the same pear. Nibble carefully.
†† We are not a secret society: hey look, the hot link among south of England Samaritans^ this month: http://forumpublications.co.uk/hampshire-people/
It seems to me a good interview with a good guy, although I'm seriously, brain-explodingly fried at the interviewer's suggestion that the deaths of Peaches Geldof and Robin Williams may glamorize addiction and suicide. WHAT? WHAT? Um. No. That would be nooooooooo.
^There are quite a few of us around:
Halloween night 2014 in a relatively small backwoods town in Hampshire, usually stuffed to the whatsit with ordinary boring people including a high percentage of relentlessly law-abiding retired Tories who pride themselves on being tucked up in bed by 10 pm, last night morphed into a David Lynch film.*
I got home at about 5:30 a.m. And I still had to feed the hellmob and myself—I am STAAAARVING after both SP shifts and the Sams**—hurtle the former, bath me and then calm down enough to sleep.*** I'm not going to tell you when I got to bed but it was well past dawn. Well past. And twilight came with remarkable speed today. Like I swear hours early.
And I needed to go sit in the monks' chapel tonight worse than I needed to finish this week's KES. As if I have had any brain to finish KES with.
Apologies. If my brain returns from its peregrinations by tomorrow, I'll have a go. Otherwise it may have to wait till next Saturday.

* It could have been worse. It could have been David Cronenburg. In which case I would be halfway to Mumbai by now.^
^ Okay, a quarter of the way, since we'd've had to swing by Scotland to pick Peter up first where he is enjoying a few days of family life in a well run household where meals are on the table at normal meal times and not every surface is encrusted with dog hair. And we wouldn't be staying in Mumbai long. None of us+ would cope with the climate. Christchurch sounds like a nice temperate city. Does anyone know if they've got their temporary bell tower up and running yet? I've just tried to google it and can't find anything past that they were going to try.
+ Except maybe Pav.# I'm not sure bullies take notice of little things like ambient temperature and crushing humidity. Although Pav does not like the kind of rain that hammers her to the ground and then holds her there. And, like all dogs everywhere, she thinks her human could do something about this if said human took more notice of the intense suffering of her loyal canine companions who are obliged to go with her when she wants to saunter through rain that hammers you to the ground and holds you there.##
# B_twin sent me this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjZP21vIfgs I do not, myself, permit pillow-worrying, but the rest looks pretty familiar. What this video leaves out however is the middle-aged hellhound trying out his moves in parallel. Pav is FINALLY OFF HEAT and re-permitted into the hurly burly of family life, which is to say causing the hurly burly of family life, and Chaos, who has always been a little manic~, has dusted off his adolescent end-to-end swapping and except for the fact that he's bigger and in full ecstatic frenzy bumps into the furniture more~~, can provide Pav a little added stimulation that she does not need.~~~
~ One might wonder about his bloodlines. A bullie great-great-great grandparent, the family scandal no one spoke of? It's been bred out of Darkness but still maintains a rogue presence in Chaos.
~~ Especially the lashing tail. I swear his tail is about six feet long. Knowledgeable whippet people tend to look at the hellhounds and say, oh, whip—no, they can't be whippets, their tails are too long. Are deerhound tails disproportionately long? I have no idea. I wonder how long Sid's tail is? I'm sure it'll be a plot point some time.
~~~ One of the peculiarities of my hellmob is that the hellhounds bark from excitement=, when they hear me coming downstairs in the morning, when they're pretty sure I'm about to take them for a hurtle, when a Known Friend comes through the door.== Or when the three of them are having a gambol which sends next door's nasty little terrier into paroxysms of murderous frenzy===. Pav, on the other hand, only barks for proper, responsible-dog cause. Burglars. Delivery persons%. Neighbours wanting me to look after their cats. Except of course occasionally when she doesn't and so I assume I'm imagining that knock on the door and turn over and go back to sleep and come downstairs later to a postcard through the mail slot that says 'we have tried 1,000,000 times to find you home%% so we could read your gas/electric/water meter and we're TIRED of this and so we're going to charge you £bazillion/month till you RING US and fix a date that you WILL BE HOME to LET US IN.'
=including, in Darkness' case, disapproval, when Pav is getting into something he thinks she shouldn't. If I'm up to my elbows in dishwater, say, a common occurrence at the moment because the dishwasher is on the fritz again snaaaaaaaarl @, and I hear Darkness bark I shout without moving, Pav! Stop that! There's usually some wild scuffling, possibly an astonished yip from Chaos, and then silence falls, possibly just about long enough for me to finish the dishes.
@ And Peter is THE WORST DISHWASHER-BY-HAND ON THE PLANET. I used to not approve of dishwashers. How long ago was that? Well, I still don't have one at the cottage. It's the Aga or a dishwasher and there's no contest. Besides, I'm a good dishwasher-by-hand. I'd just rather be kidnapped by bandits or doing my tax return.
== I find this particularly amusing when it's someone like Atlas or Niall, both of whom barely know what a dog is, let alone how to respond to canine enthusiasm.
=== I met the thing today when I was between hurtles and dogless, and so stooped to say hello, because I am a hopeless wet and when I'm not busy trying to control confrontational outcomes will say hello to any dog that isn't actively biting me. You could see him looking at me, however, and thinking, you don't fool me, you revolting hypocrite, you are responsible for the ruination of the neighbourhood.

Modern life
There is a law of the universe that says that any house you move out of always has at least one final carload of stuff left in it. However many times you've been back for The Last Load–and whether or not there's a new owner tapping his/her foot and holding his/her hand out for the key, which, fortunately, in this case, there is not. But this is sort of the large economy size of the Sock Planet theorem, about where all those odd socks that ought to be in the bottom of the washing machine but aren't, go.* You'd need a galaxy at least for all those The House Is Empty It's Empty I Tell You nooooooo there is nothing in those cupboards** carloads. And there wasn't anything in those cupboards when you frelling doodah frelling CLEARED THEM OUT THE LAST TIME.***
However. I finally went round to the estate agent to discuss getting the mews on the market and I have his recommendation of a Ruby-equivalent† coming in to do the hardcore houseclean before I let him in.
Real world progress. Hey golly wow. I thought the house move might have been my real-world-engagement allocation for this century.
* * *
* Every time a sock DISAPPEARS^ I go into Sock Fetish^^ Overdrive.^^^ This happened recently^^^^ at the same time that a line of really nice socks went on SALE on a web site I am unfortunately on the email list of. I don't have to tell you I bought 1,000,000 of each colour, do I? What do I do when they arrive? Under the bed is already full of boxes full of yarn.~
^ I try to remember to check the back of Pav's crate first. But trophy socks in the back of Pav's crate are not always socks any more, although she rearranges the stitch patterns less than she used to. She nestles more now. This would be more awwwwww if it weren't for the little evil eye twinkling at you.
^^ It's not all that surprising I have a sock fetish. If I didn't, my All Star fetish might get lonely.
^^^ I also have this silly habit of not throwing out the perfectly good twin of the sock that has disimproved into bad macramé. After all, it's a perfectly good sock. So it goes into a tote bag+ with all the other single socks and occasionally I find two that amuse me as a pair . . . but then when they go in the laundry THERE ARE TWO ODD SOCKS. Now, I am not completely lost to logical thought and when there are two of them—especially when I put them together and they are AMUSING—I can probably figure out that it's not a Sock Planet raid++ this time.
BUT SOMETIMES THE SOCKS IN THE TOTE BAG ESCAPE. AND THEN THERE ARE SINGLE ODD SOCKS EVERYWHERE. AAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH. Of such things are nervous breakdowns made.+++
+ Which says something like 'she is too fond of books and it has addled her brain' or 'keep calm and eat chocolate'.
++ Although I'd better check the back of Pav's crate again. And possibly the hellhounds'. Chaos is occasionally forced by inner disquietude to steal socks, although he usually steals the clean ones that I'm trying to put on to take hellhounds for a hurtle. I have tried to explain to him that this is counterproductive but he just does the Dog Cute Head-Cocking Thing to prove that he is listening to me very intently and then steals my socks again the next time he's feeling interiorly disquieted. Darkness, who has different neuroses, looks in another direction wearing a long-suffering expression. I have, however, explained to Chaos with great care that if he steals another Steeleye Span t shirt# he will die.
# Not that I don't have, you know, several. The collection hasn't reached the epic All Star proportions yet, but it's moving in that direction. Fiona and I went to a Steeleye Span concert recently and Steeleye's regular merchandise man recognised me. Um . . .
+++ Some of us are more fragile than others.
^^^^ I think. See ^^^.
~ AND FURTHERMORE my tied-for-first-favourite on-line yarn shop is having another flaming dingdong sale. I mean, they do this a lot, which is why they are tied-for-first-favourite and evil drooling demons from the deepest regions of the really nasty end of hell+, but a fair number of these I can pass over, the eyelash and fake fur sale, yuck, the baby and kid stuff, life is too short, you get a bib when you're born and then you're on your own, the person-made fibres since I'm mostly a natural-fibre snob unless the colours are really insane or the glitter is really fabulous, anything to do with Kaffe Fassett whose patterns are the knitting and needlework version of eighty-seven bell change-ringing patterns that just looking at the line in the method book makes my head explode, and so on. There are really quite a few yarn come ons that don't make me sit up and whine. Aaaaand then there are the ones that do . . . make me sit up and whine. Well, I ESCAPED a really hazardous offer just last week, for one of the heavier-weight wools so you'd be using bigger, fatter needles, which is good for slow clumsy knitters like me, and I did it by simply letting the time run out. Of course I had to chain my credit card to a stake in the back garden and take the hellmob for a run for the last three hours but it worked. And then, the fiends in marketing pulled together a Halloween sale this week of a heterogeneous selection of yarns, needles, books and patterns . . . INCLUDING ALL THREE OF THE YARNS THAT HAD BEEN IN MY BASKET LAST WEEK AND THEY HAD SAVED MY BASKET.

Life Sentence
Let me get this over with.
I won't be at Boskone next February. I've written to the Boskone admin and asked Blogmom to take the sidebar down.
I'm extremely sorry. I don't like screwing people over and . . . and I wanted to go.
I've also known this was coming for a while but I have been trying to pretend not to know it. I've been putting off talking to my vet for . . . probably two months, because by two months ago I knew that his Miracle Cure for the hellhounds' digestion, while it has certainly improved matters for which I am very grateful indeed, it hasn't been quite the miracle cure we'd been hoping for. One of the possibilities is that the other dogs he's cured (and admittedly there are only a few of them because it's kind of a new and experimental as well as last-ditch treatment) are all half the hellhounds' age or less, and my hellhounds may just have permanent unfixable damage. . . .
Last Friday I finally talked to my vet.
The bottom line is, the hellhounds are a life sentence, of which I've already served eight years while trying not to think about it in those terms. A kennels won't take them and I wouldn't inflict them on a pet sitter* and my few certifiably deranged-ly doggy friends who could and would cope are all hundreds to thousands of miles away.
And this is just the way it is. Fortunately I've turned into something of a homebody in my old age, and while there is a needs-must aspect to it, still, I don't exactly sit around twiddling my thumbs, do I? And have I mentioned I'm going back to homeopathy college? Speaking of sitting at home not twiddling.** I discovered rather by accident recently that since I dropped out of the face-to-face, classroom, commuting kind of college***, on-line courses have come a long way. I've been poking around the corners of this intriguing information the last few weeks, and about a fortnight ago, when I finally made the appointment to talk to my vet, I thought, okay, when the vet tells me what I already know he's going to tell me, I'll get serious about college. Because I have so much spare time now that I'm not writing a blog post every night.
Who knows. Maybe I'll find a cure for the hellhounds. But it won't be before next February.
* * *
* This aside from the fact that after my interesting acquaintance with a downward spiral of dog minders and my one DISASTROUS even by my standards experience with a national pet sitting company, I wouldn't be likely to inflict a pet sitter on the hellmob anyway.^
^ Although I could just tell the hellterror that if he/she gets out of line, eat them.
** Except knitting needles, of course.
*** For the given reason of my ME-afflicted energy level not being up to it, but the hellhounds had something to do with it too.
Blocked at every turn
The charity gang that were taking away all our surplus furniture finally came today. Either they're a very popular charity or their lorries break down a lot.* Or both, I suppose. But the situation was made unnecessarily exciting by my penchant for living on cul de sacs. I'd asked the lorry guys to ring me fifteen minutes before they arrived to give me time to get down to the mews and let them in. They rang. Fifteen minutes, they said. I stuffed the hellhounds in their harnesses, shoved the hellterror's breakfast, ready made against this moment, into her crate and her after it, not that the shoving of a hellterror toward foooooood is required, and the hellhounds and I bolted up to Third House to fetch Wolfgang . . . and found the end of the cul de sac comprehensively full of large flatbed lorry delivering pallet after pallet after pallet of . . . I don't know, buildery stuff, with reference to the fact that the row of Tiny But Desirable Cottages that abut the churchyard seem to be in a state of permanent renovation. The one on the end had barely swept up its last skip's worth of brick and cement dust when one of the ones in the middle ripped out all its insides and started over. Arrrgh.
So I spun round the footpath corner toward my driveway and AAAAAAAUGH. I rushed up to the bloke overseeing the latest pallet swaying earthwards on its giant hoist and said in a frantic voice, I HAVE TO GET MY CAR OUT!!!! And he looked at me and said, We'll move, ma'am—perhaps there are advantages to being a little old lady: blokes don't like to see us cry—and they did. Mind you, getting something that carries 1,000,000,000 pallets and a giant hoist doesn't move very fast, and I was a few minutes late . . . but so was the charity lorry. And we were all somewhat bemused by the labyrinth of scaffolding we had to make our way through because they're painting the Big Pink Blot again**.
While the two guys from the charity were wrestling furniture that must come out since it certainly went in I prepared to load up Wolfgang, around the hellhounds, for a quick sprint to the dump, since empty houses extrude junk and a corner you perfectly well know was empty the last time you had a sweep (so to speak) through has six boxes and a broken lamp in it this time. The charity guys eventually solved their problems of practical geometry and went their way two double beds and some miscellaneous doodads the better and the hellhounds and I went ours to the dump . . . where the way was BLOCKED by an even MORE gigantic lorry with an even MORE gigantic hoist, lifting in one of those massive small-country-sized skips that town dumps use. ARRRRRRRRRGH. I hadn't packed Wolfgang at all carefully—for one thing I'm a little cross about the empty-house-extrusion thing—and I didn't think it was going to matter for long that when I opened the passenger door there would be an avalanche . . . or that the hellterror's travelling crate is full of superfluous kitchen gear for the dump shop.
So in this cranky and unalleviated state we went back to the cottage long enough to . . . NO WE DIDN'T. BECAUSE THERE WAS ANOTHER FRELLING LORRY UNLOADING MORE BUILDERY STUFF FOR ANOTHER RENOVATION PROJECT THAT IS GOING ON FOREVER ON THE COTTAGE CUL DE SAC AND SAID LORRY AND ITS LOAD WERE ENTIRELY BLOCKING THE WAY.
Some days you should just stay in bed with a few good books and some knitting.***

* This may be part of their training programme. They offer apprenticeships to street people to learn money-earning skills. I think mechanics is one of the choices. So maybe the trainers sneak into the lorry-fleet garage in dark of night and yank a few wires and drill a few holes and put antifreeze in the petrol tanks to make sure their course will be popular.
** Since it was a four-hour slot I would not have made her wait that long if they'd come at the end instead of the beginning. But the domestic fauna are not having a good time right now because Pav is in bloody [sic] season so she's locked up more than usual and the hellhounds . . . have stopped eating again.^ She's in her second week which is usually when the hellhounds start moaning. I had PLANNED that when the moaning became tedious^^ I'd stash hellhounds in the sitting room or the attic at Third House and leave her to emit hormonal fug in her crate in the dining room, and probably leave her there overnight since they're all in the kitchen at the cottage.^^^ But we are also having the absolute worst season for fleas I've seen in a quarter century so while I'm frantically trying to get it under control there's not as much wandering about the house(s) as normal as a kind of despairing attempt at damage control. I won't use the standard chemicals, they're frelling poisonous, they make some dogs sick—ask me how I know this—and they don't even always frelling work. If I'm going to fail to eradicate fleas I'd rather do it without toxic side-effects. Meanwhile the list of 'natural' flea extermination methods, thanks to in depth on line research, gets longer and longer and longer and longer and more and more time-consuming and expensive# . . . and we still have fleas. So the ways in which the indoor wildlife and their hellgoddess are currently not having a good time are many-splendored. Remind me why I have dogs?##
^ Fifty percent is a good average. I try not to complain if they eat one and a half of their three meals. I start losing the will to live (again) when they stop altogether.
^^ This takes about seven minutes.
^^^ If the hellhounds' sexual appetite rates with their interest level in food this probably explains why I'm getting away with having three entire creatures of two genders in a relatively small space at all.+ But simply putting them in separate rooms stops the moaning++ and while I'm very grateful I'm also surprised since, you know, dogs have a tediously discerning sense of smell and can nail the precise location of that dead hedgehog/rat/squirrel while you're only just registering 'ew—dead thing somewhere in the vicinity.' I'd've thought hormonal fug would be fairly penetrating, if you'll forgive the term.
+ Although Pav is not noticeably more besotted with the hellhounds than she ever is—which is extremely, just by the way—and her interest in FOOOOOOOOD is in no doubt whatsoever.
# The only thing that slows them down from chewing holes in themselves is a neem-oil based salve that costs £20 for a tiny little pot.
## And the NOISE the hellterror makes while she is Slurping Her Inflamed Parts is enough to . . . enough to . . . ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH.
** What's it going to be this go? Maroon? Mint green? Why don't they just leave it pink? I think the co-op admin doesn't have enough to do with its time or its AGMs.
*** KNITTING. ARRRRRRGH. No, I'll tell you about it some other post. . . . ^
^ But Fiona and I did have a lovely yarn adventure yesterday. And I haven't told her this yet but if you count the yarn I bought last night off the internet I did spend more money than she did. The thing is, there's this line . . . never mind which line . . . that I'm quite fond of for reasons of EXTREME AND LURID COLOUR, and this shop had a lot of it, so I fondled a great deal of it and bought some, but was Juiced Up with Desire for More by this tactile experience+ and, while we were sitting around knitting over supper, my mind would keep reverting to the knowledge that several of the more intense colourways were on sale on one of my deplorably regular yarn sites . . . colourways that were in fact not available in the shop we'd been to. I hope you can follow my thought (?) processes here. BECAUSE I had SUPPORTED MY LYS++ I therefore deserved to buy some of what they hadn't had that was on sale. You get that, right? Yes.
++ Local Yarn Shop/Store, for those of you unafflicated by the knitting mania

For longer-term listening (30+ min), I try to set it to where the music sounds just a little too soft. Anything louder and I start to get headaches, probably due to the headphone non-crossfeed effect. If you find yourself getting woozy after a while of listening, or find yourself unable to listen to headphones for more than 30 minutes, you probably want to turn the volume down. For short-term listening I turn it to where I can hear the full beauty of my system's sound.

i always hear "i got corki for free with the U.F.O skin"...
but i want him for free too
awesome hero
does anyone know how to get him?
2 late
you had to become a member of LoL back in January of this year
If you made your account before Corki and the UFO skin were given out for free, contact Riot and they'll sort it out. (Did for me, been around since closed Beta)
If not, you're out of luck.
I love my UFO Corki <3
Junior Member
If you signed up before a certain date, you received that skin (and therefore the champion) for free.
Otherwise, save up IP or buy RP.
(Tristana can still be obtained this way, though.)
People who signed up before January 14th 2010 ( I believe - for some reason I seem to remember that date) got the skin and the champion for free. Those who already owned Corki were granted a 3-day IP boost IIRC.
now im sad
It was for some poll or something that LoL won. Best Something-or-other of the Year.
The Reaver
My UFO Corki is awesome. ^_^

Kourtney Kardashian And Scott Disick Have a Beach Day With Mason and Penelopeby Lisa Arneill+ in Celebrity Kids
Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick were photographed enjoying some time at the beach with their kids Mason and Penelope in Bal Harbour Florida, a beach just north of Miami Beach.
Now 4 months old, this is the first time we have had a good look at Penelope! She was chic in an orange one-piece bathing suit and a scarf tied on her head to protect her from the sun.
Even though he didn't go in the water, Mason had fun running around the beach, playing football in the sand and building sandcastles.
Scott appeared to be continuing the 'Lord Disick' schtick by wearing a patch with the initials LD on it.
Just like their trip to the pool last week, the family was filming for their reality show. They are likely winding down the show, as it has been 3 months since they started filming.

Arlene Said:MLA writing techniques.?
We Answered:My school uses MLA format to cite things, so I think our schools would use the same tense.
Anyhow, my teacher says to ALWAYS write in present tense when writing about a book (he was actually talking about this today). He said that since it's fiction, so it not real & hasn't happened yet, so that's why you should write in present tense... sorry if that doesn't make any sense... but yeah. :) Good luck with your essay.
EDIT: I didn't read the Pact, but I'm assuming that it's fiction. If it's non-fiction, then I would say past tense because it's already happened.
Penny Said:where can i find matter on report writing techniques?
We Answered:1. Put all your ideas on paper (at this stage, don't worry about form);
2. analyze your ideas: write them out on a piece of paper; then, rank them (from the most general to the most specific);
3. the most general will be your first paragraph, and the most specific, the last; proceed this way until you have all the body paragraphs in order;
4. write an introduction (which will tell the reader what you will talk about);
5. write a conclusion (which will sum up the central idea of your paper);
6. review all the transitions from one paragraph to the other (see if your ideas flow smoothly with no loose ends).

Health Hats
Fall Rescue: From the starting spot in the port, walk through the golden gate on the left/west. In the front of the large inn, you will see three targets on the wall. Shoot them all with a character that uses a gun, and the red hat will appear. It costs 175,000 studs.
Extra Hearts: From the starting spot in the port, jump into the water with the alligator. Swim onto the floating piece of wood. Use a character that has bombs, and throw it in the water on the shining rock. It will blow up and raise the wooden planks. Then, swim across the southern side to the beach, and turn the wheel tight, until the flowers appear on the new bridge. Use a female character to jump from the bridge to the poles. Jump back and forth, and the red hat will appear. It costs 500,000 studs.
Regenerate Hearts: From the starting spot in the port, swim south in the body of water where the alligator is, and go to the beach. Go to the far right on the beach, and you will see golden bricks. Rebuild them, then destroy them again, and the red hat will appear. It costs 275,000 studs.
Invincibility: You need Blackbeard to obtain this red hat. From the starting spot in the port, walk all the way left/west through the golden gate and across the bridge that you create with the rolling barrels. Inside the shack, on the far left hand side of the room, you will see a chest that is black and red. Use Blackbeard's power to open it. It costs 1,000,000 studs.
