for joggers, slow runners, run/walkers and newbies
First in!!?
Must be back to work
Still Nogs, only 6 weeks till half term!!
Morning gangWas a bit tired this morning and I even went to bed before 9pm !
For those that might need it
I'm off to work, training not sure what in!!
Morning all.
Enjoy your training, Spence, hope it turns out to be something interesting, or at least useful
Morning, Melds---are you coming or going? I mean, are you just getting up or just going to bed? I've totally lost track of your duty roster....
Just skyped with C1 who is at Ayers Rock where it's 36 C (cooled off rom 46!!). Was going to get out for an early chug, but of course I had a second cup of coffee with the skype, so I shall now waddle out for something short, slow and ugly. All your inspiring talk of marathons etc does motivate me to at least get out there!
this house is so quiet and empty without the muppets! I'm waiting for the kennels to be open at 9 so I can go get em!
Colchester is just too far for me Spence - sorry.
I do think that we should be making some sort of effort for a WAISter meet up this year though - any suggestions?
We certainly should Sue ... later in the year may be easier to organise?Chuggs, early this morning, two late shifts from tomorrow and then on to nights DL, I dont know how you cope with such excitement. cleaning AND an iPad ....
Morning each.
Spence, the news yesterday was that teachers morale was at an all time low. I'm surprised you have the time to be pee'd off with work, you're never there
Christmas decs are coming down today and I have a bit of paid stuff to do.
Coffee is on
Morning All
Quick trip to the shops then the Viking Trail Bike Ride (about 27 miles) then house tidying then a couple of friends round for tea...........
I never cook...........I can't cook..........so this is something of a royal command performance - I shall consider the evening a success if nobody gets poisoned!!
Best get some clothes on as Tesco takes a dim view of nudity in the aisles
Podds get Tesco pre-prepared food, much easier for friends coming for tea and less risk of poisioning!!!
oh to have 36c. Although it is pretty mild darn souf, 12c in January just seems wrong.
You lot are a bad influence, I'm getting the "feeling" for a run, oh shame I'm at work!!!
On NYD Podds said we could all go back to hers for pasta or go to the pub....guess which I chose
Ooh, Mandax, how fab. I quite fancied taking a peek at that diving prog. If nothing else to see how on earth you teach someone to perform those dives. If you wear a big, floppy hat we're sure to recognise you
I smell desperation in Spence's half recruitment attempts - shame I'm injured or I might have been interested
*uncrosses fingers*
Get you,. XB on telly again Can't say I recognise Mr Celebrity though.
oh chuggy, that man certainly has cheese - no wonder Ozzie cheeses seem tasteless as those cheese look superb. Hmmm, apparently I'm only 35 mins flight time from Schiphol airport...
Snaily, I thought your chute was a swimming hat in the first pic - hasn't Youtube helped you get it right yet ?
A WAISter meet up......the team southern softies v team northentough nuts - featuring Sue from Welsh Wales
You are so going to be toast when OH finds out you've been using the pad of i, DL. Double cleaning duties for you
I am trying to convince the minis to go swimming but I'm reluctant myself. I dont like getting wet and the kids always splash me and I get water in my goggles....
Oh well done, Podds! If I were having a dinner party I would deffo not be able to cycle 27 miles the same day! (And that's even worse than it sounds, cos like Snaily I'd hit the steaming Tesco's for the food!!!) You ARE superwoman, I always suspected it
Snaily, loved the photos of you with the...the...the thing on your head. No wonder you can't figure it out, I can't even tell what it's supposed to be!!!
Just back from 2 miles. In fitness terms it was not so much a wake-up call as a kick in the ribs and someone shouting 'OI! Are you DEAD??' Oh well, gotta start (again!) where you are, right?
Lovely photos from Tubbs, XB and Yummy. Houndtastic indeed!
Snaily, when you have sorted out your mother and Paignton do you fancy starting on Bristol Frenchay?? To be fair, they will be getting referrals from all over the south-west, I suspect, and chronic pain is one of the 'Cinderella services' as the government, and thus hospitals, prefer things where people can be treated and discharged within a certain time; all boxes ticked. Anything chronic tends to lose out because of that.
That is a good point about the cheese - the Australia border programs show loads of people being finded for trying to take food into the country! They also treat Contact (the cold remedy) as an illegal substance as it can be used to manufacture crystal meth .
I am posting this sat at MS's comp as I cannot recharge the battery on my lappie since Alfie chewed through the lead. I need to wait in for MIL and am seeing Thursday man this arvo, OA this evening. Somewhere along the line I will have to get another lead and also some anti-chew stuff - this could have been far worse if he had chewed through a mains cable .
WAIST well my lovelies xxx
Aww bless Alfie - clearly happy to be home although it would be nice if he could find a less dangerous way to demonstrate his happiness
I have ingredients and a couple of recipes..............but first bike time
Yumms - can see your point re swimming and getting wet......now if you're only a 35 minute flight from Schipol there's a rumour they are starting up flights to Amsterdam from Manston again in the spring which means I'm only the same distance away....
*sniggers as Yums and Podds plan to descend on Chuggy and abuse her hospitality *
but we'd need pet passports so we could take the hounds, podds.........
oh, sluggy, silly Alfie. I wonder what it s about cables. A friend who works at the local hozzie had to move offices yesterday cos foxy loxy had chewed through the poer and t'internet cables and sadly been elctrocuted in the process. And yes, I reckon you're right about the Cinderella factor to explain your stoopidly long wait for treatment.
I'm sure chuggy would also love 4 houndie guests Yums as would Rossie but I suspect the feline resident might be somewhat less impressed!
Back from bike - lovely mild day with a hint of sun now and again and precious little wind which is unusual - 26.65 miles @ 12.4 mph which is about right for the cyclocross bike, however really feeling the lack of biking in my lower neck / shoulders....or rather the trapezius and rhomboideus minor

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Think about the last time you hooked up with a guy. Did they turn you down, saying, 'sorry, you weigh 5 pounds too much for me'? I highly doubt it. If they're in the position to want to hook up with you in the first place, they aren't going to stop in the act of making out, and accuse you of having love handles.
In my experience, I've found that guys are just as insecure when it comes to body image as girls are. They just hide it better. I once had a boyfriend who had a ripped six-pack, but was really insecure about his skinny legs. Did I care? Nope. Not only was I too busy counting all six of his ab muscles to care about his legs, but I liked him for him, and not just his muscles.
Guys are the same way. They'll stare at your voluptuous bust, or your long legs, or your bootylicious backside; whatever part of you that they find most attractive, and they won't care that you might have stretch marks, or acne, or whatever it is that you find least attractive.
I know some of you are thinking, 'well yeah, but aren't all dudes only attracted to my hot bod'? Sure there are some douche bags who ARE like that, but for the most part I've found that guys are attracted to your personality as well as your rockin' curves. I just hung out with a guy the other week, who told me that he finds intelligence much more sexy than appearance.
Guys are really not as different as we make them out to be. Everyone has insecurities about their body, and boys are no different. So next time you feel nervous while hanging out with a guy you like, just remember that he probably feels the same way!
Does your guy have body hangups that you know about?

Latest round of federal tax credit exchange funds to revive five more projects
BOSTON - November 24, 2009 - As part of the Patrick-Murray Administration's Massachusetts Recovery Plan to secure the state's economic future, Governor Deval Patrick today announced he will target an additional $30.4 million in recovery funds from the U.S. Treasury Department's tax credit exchange program to revive five affordable housing developments stalled due to the lack of equity available in low-income housing tax credit markets. Today's awards follow last month's commitment from the administration to distribute $50.3 million from the Treasury program to create jobs and jumpstart 10 other projects across the state.
With today's announcement, developments in Haverhill, Mashpee, Springfield and two in Boston will restart thanks to American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funds that will fill the projects' financing gaps created when tax credits could not leverage the equity needed to support construction costs.
"We are working hard to identify and secure the resources that will further our ongoing recovery efforts, create jobs and strengthen communities," said Governor Patrick. "Affordable housing developments are essential facets of our public infrastructure and investing in them will pay dividends now and over the long term."
"Getting these projects moving complements our ongoing efforts to promote the development of affordable housing, which is a key part of our goal to end homelessness," said Lieutenant Governor Timothy Murray, chair of the state's Interagency Council for Housing and Homelessness. "I am grateful for the work done by members of federal delegation who recognized the importance of affordable housing to our overall economic recovery."
"These investments are a lifeline for working families in Boston, Haverhill, Mashpee and Springfield struggling to make ends meet in a tough economy. It'll put people back to work while allowing hundreds of low and moderate income families to keep a roof over their heads and help our economy on the long road to recovery," said Senator John Kerry.
"Now that the winter months are upon us, it is more important than ever to see that no families are left in the cold," said Senator Paul G. Kirk, Jr. "I commend Governor Patrick for using these tax credits to fund affordable housing opportunities and for his strong efforts to lead the economic recovery in the Commonwealth."
Due to current tax credit market conditions, these Treasury Department recovery funds allow states to convert previously awarded tax credits into grants or low-interest deferred loans. The Patrick-Murray Administration's Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) implements the program in Massachusetts and awards funds competitively based on criteria reflecting whether projects were shovel ready for construction and secures in all other aspects of project financing and permitting. All awardees must now close within 120 days and start construction within another 45 days.
"This latest round of U.S. Treasury tax credit exchange recovery funds, coupled with the recent release of $50.3 million in awards from that same program, along with more than $45.5 million in low-income housing tax credit assistance that we also awarded last summer from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, has helped us to get some important housing developments back on track while also creating new jobs and affordable housing opportunities for families on all income levels," said Housing and Community Development Undersecretary Tina Brooks.
"We're grateful to the Commonwealth for their investment in two excellent neighborhood housing developments. The Tax Credit Exchange program is a creative approach to getting many of our important development projects moving again, despite the tight lending markets," Mayor Thomas Menino said. "These funds will not only enable the creation of new construction and permanent jobs in our City, but this also means hundreds of new affordable units of housing will be made available for Boston residents. I applaud Governor Patrick for this sound investment in Boston's neighborhoods."
"Governor Patrick has shown his commitment to housing in the Greater Boston area, especially in this community which is happy to build affordable housing," said Representative Jeffrey Sanchez. "Finding affordable housing in the Greater Boston area is always difficult, so I am pleased that we will be able to add to the affordable housing stock and create jobs in the process."
"We're thrilled this federal money has been made available by the Governor," said Senator Robert O'Leary. "Affordable housing has always been a difficulty on the Cape and Islands and I am glad this project will make more affordable units available."
"Affordable housing certainly is needed in this area, so this is a welcome stimulus to the project," said Representative Matthew Patrick. "This is a great initiative to create that needed affordable housing."
"These funds are essential to the work of Urban Edge, a major CDC in my district, and will offer tremendous benefit to our community," said Representative Liz Malia.
- The Pine Street Inn, Jamaica Plain Neighborhood Development Corp. and New Atlantic Development will receive $3,590,843 to develop the 35 Creighton Street Residences in Jamaica Plain (Boston). This project is part of the redevelopment of the former Blessed Sacrament church campus. This development will utilize green design elements to offer 28 single room occupancy units for homeless individuals transitioning from shelter to permanent housing. It is estimated that this project will create or retain 26 jobs.
- Urban Edge will receive $9,940,517 to develop the Jamaica Plain (Boston) apartments. This is a scattered site development with 103 existing affordable units located in eleven properties in Jamaica Plain. Incorporating green design, over 70% of the units in the project contain three or four bedrooms. All of the 103 units will be restricted for rental to households earning less than 60% of area median income, with 15 of the 103 units further restricted for occupancy by extremely low income families. It is estimated that the project will create or retain 95 jobs.
- The Community Builders will receive $4,060,704 to build the first phase of Mashpee Village. This is a two-phase project involving high priority capital improvements to an existing fully occupied affordable housing property. The project will deliver 145 affordable family units, with 52 of the units affordable to extremely low income households. It is estimated that 47 jobs will be created or retained through the rehabilitation of the project.
- Forest City will receive $4,746,153 for this renovation of Hamel Mill Lofts, an historic shoe factory in Haverhill. Located adjacent to the commuter rail station, the property is already under construction and when complete will offer 305 new units of housing, of which 61 will be affordable to low income households. It is estimated that the construction of the project has generated or will generate more than 500 jobs.
- Flores and Elm Street Development and the New England Farm Workers Council will receive $8,097, 586 for the Borinquen Apartment project in Springfield. This is a scattered site development with the first phase of 41 existing affordable units located in two historic buildings on Springfield's Main, Huntington, and Greenwich streets. Over 65% of the units contain two or more bedrooms. All of the 41 units will be restricted for rental to households earning less than 60% of area median income, with 8 of the 41 units further restricted for occupancy by extremely low income families. The project will create or retain an estimated 60 jobs.
Investments in housing and economic development are critical components of Governor Patrick's Massachusetts Recovery Plan, which combines state, federal and, where possible, private efforts to provide immediate and long-term relief and position the Commonwealth for recovery in the following ways:
• Deliver immediate relief by investing in the road, bridge and rail projects that put people to work today and providing safety net services that sustain people who are especially vulnerable during an economic crisis;
• Build a better tomorrow through education and infrastructure investments that strengthen our economic competitiveness, prepare workers for the jobs of the future, and support clean energy, broadband, and technology projects that cut costs while growing the economy; and
• Reform state government by eliminating the pension and ethics loopholes that discredit the work of government and revitalize the transportation networks that have suffered from decades of neglect and inaction.

After five months of trial, jurors now deliberating lawsuit from the pop star's mother against his concert promoter.
LOS ANGELES – After a bitterly fought five-month trial, a negligence lawsuit by Michael Jackson's mother against his concert promoter is in the hands of a jury after a final plea by a Jackson lawyer to punish the company he portrayed as a heartless, money-making machine.
In his argument Thursday, attorney Brian Panish, who represents Katherine Jackson, urged the six women and six men on the jury to find that defendant AEG Live LLC and Jackson shared responsibility for hiring Dr. Conrad Murray, the physician whose treatments killed the superstar.
Earlier this week, a lawyer for AEG Live suggested the promoter was pressured by Jackson to hire Murray as his personal physician, and was deceived when Jackson and Murray hid the fact that the singer was receiving nightly doses of the anesthetic propofol in his bedroom.
The drug is intended for use during operations at hospitals.
Murray was convicted in 2011 of involuntary manslaughter after giving Jackson an overdose of propofol as a sleep aid as Jackson fought chronic insomnia. Murray is in prison.
Jurors were led out of the courtroom by 10 armed sheriff's deputies assigned to guard them during deliberations. They spent two hours behind closed doors and then retired for the day. They were to resume deliberations Friday.
Panish used his rebuttal argument Thursday to urge the jury to find that AEG hired Murray without considering whether he was fit for the job. AEG lawyers say it was Jackson who hired the doctor.
In his speech to jurors, Panish suggested they might decide there was shared negligence in hiring Murray.
"Think of a bicycle built for two," he said. "Both can cause the harm."
He did not blame Jackson for seeking propofol and instead cited AEG for hiring the doctor who gave it to him.
"Propofol might not be the best idea," Panish said. "But if you have a competent doctor, you're not going to die."
Panish claimed that AEG executives such as CEO Randy Phillips and co-CEO Paul Gongaware disdained Jackson and reminded jurors of an email in which an AEG attorney referred to Jackson as "the freak."
"They're a money-making machine," Panish said. "All they care about is how much money is this freak going to make for them.
"It's not right, ladies and gentlemen," Panish said. "It would not be right to allow Gongaware and Phillips to skate down the street and click their champagne glasses at AEG Live."

Stay smart all summer long.
There are things that happen every summer in the kingdom of kids - snow balls, sleepovers, camp and the summer slide. The latter is what happens when kids give their brains a serious break for the entire summer, something educators work to avoid. And you can, too.
"There is something I call the summer slide'... If kids don't keep up with their reading skills during the summer months they can regress or slide backwards and lose the skills they learned during the school year," says librarian Paula Graffeo of J. Wallace James Elementary. "It's possible that they could start the new school year not being ready for the new school year of work; they could start the new year at a deficit."
Graffeo encourages her students and her own children to read all summer long and join the Lafayette Public Library System's summer reading program. She says it's simple to just keep track of books on your own list. And Graffeo also jumps on the reading bandwagon.
"I've also joined the Adult Summer Reading program with the Lafayette Public Library. I believe as parents we must lead by example," Graffeo says.
According to the National Summer Learning Association, "Most students lose about two months of grade level equivalency in mathematical computation skills over the summer months. Low-income students also lose more than two months in reading achievement, despite the fact that their middle-class peers make slight gains."
The good news is that access to a public library is the only tool really needed to stay on point all summer long. The alarming news, according to a recent survey from the NSLA, is that most parents don't really buy the idea of summer slide: "Six out of 10 [parents] aren't convinced of that, and half said their kids spend more than twice as much time online or watching television as they do with books."
Sarah Pitcock, chief executive of the NSLA, explains that online time is not the same as reading a book even when it involves reading.
"You're jumping around a lot, from page to page, article to article, with a simple tap of the finger," she said in a recently released statement from NSLA. "Books are really great for giving some of that sort of longevity and continuity in reading that enables students to really focus."

Oy vey! 25 more days until I graduate, including weekends – 18 excluding weekends. 2.5 weeks left until finals begin, that's 13 actual school days. Then we can breathe for a little bit – unless you are attending summer school.
This might be my last blog about what is coming up this year. I might mention a few more things, but this is the last that will be devoted entirely to club events going on. The rest will mainly be talking about the college, graduation, classes, and such.
Monday, April 19th, on the Venice campus there is an event to honor veterans, Pizza for Veterans. The pizza is just for the veterans; however, if you wish to thank them for their service, people are invited to come by and do so. The time and location have not yet been announced. If you are a veteran and wish to come, or if you would like just stop by, visit the Club Hub for that information.
Friday, April 23rd, from 7 – 11pm, there will be a dance in the Selby Room on the Venice campus. To attend, it costs $5 in advance, and $7 at the door. To purchase tickets in advance, go to the Club Hub.
The following day, Saturday, April 24th, beginning at 7am, Warm Mineral Springs hosts the first annual Earth Day 'Springs Cleaning.' The day, from 7am to 12pm, is devoted to cleaning up the Warm Mineral Springs community. In total, Warm Mineral Springs is looking for 4 teams consisting of 20 people each to go out and clean up. At 7 am, registration and orientation takes place in the cafe, Cafe Evergreen, at Warm Mineral Springs Resort – coffee and donuts from Abbe's will be served. At 8am, the teams will go throughout the community to help clean. At noon, the teams return for a free cookout, free swimming, t-shirts, and prizes. To volunteer, call Jennifer 941 426 1692. For more information, visit the Venice Club Hub. (I think they will direct you to Jennifer also. I could be wrong though.)
Here is something I am extremely excited for, but cannot attend since I will no longer technically be a student at SCF when it happens. Saturday, May 15th, a Charter Bus will leave from the Bradenton Campus at 1pm and return approximately 1130pm. It costs $20 per student. If you wish to bring an additional guest, that also is $20. The price includes ticket and transportation. Tickets go on sale beginning April 19th. They accept cash only for this event. To reserve your seat(s), visit the Club Hub. Oh yes, they're going to Downtown Disney to watch La Nouba Cirque Du Soleil. That's right… the best stinking circus around!
Other than that folks, sit tight, the semester is coming to a close fast – that means finals are coming fast. [That means graduation is coming fast : )]

"He is a conspiracist of the highest order."
Isn't everyone Jon? Including the idiot who kept telling everyone that the world is round...who conspired with him Jon?
BTW, this Ken person that you know so well - he doesn't WRITE anything so I wouldn't know if he is or is not a " conspiracist".
His entire blog is made up of video's NOT created or produced by him. Just guessing, but I am willing to bet that it just might be a little difficult to get all these folks together to create all those conspiring video's - especially considering that quite a few of the people shown in his video's died while he was just a small child, or before he was born! Tell me Jon, did he start those conspiracies before he learned to crawl? And where in the world did he get all that technology way back when?
A LOT of those video's are nothing more than news footage once shown on national television during different era's.
The vaccine video's that you consider to be "conspiracist" are no different. A mom, showing her baby and toddler looking INTO the camera, smiling and communicating. Then the camera switches to that same baby as a preschooler - no language, no eye contact, no smiles. The mom tells that same story about how the changes took place after vaccinations. There's no conspiracy.
No conspiracy at all. You can dismiss it as anecdotal ALL YOU WANT (as if using the word "anecdotal" makes any difference at all)...but it's no damn conspiracy! Just a whole hell of a lot of IDENTICAL stories!
The video's shown there are produced by various people. That point alone makes you look like the conspiracy theorist - not him!

Personally, I think this just underscores the overall problem. I believe there are many good people who are in both professions that are good in general. The problem as I see it, is if you're going off of work that you think is legitimate, it's understandable to see how the system is currently set up, how you can have everyone believe something else, when it's tainted from the very beginning (or from the top source where they get information from).
I don't neccessarily believe that it means that individuals in their position are bad - just in some cases (and who knows how many, and in what all areas), the data is.

If I were a scientist or doctor in today's world, I would be ashamed. Heck, I'm not a scientist or doctor and I'm still ashamed...for all of them!
Thankfully, there are those who think outside the box and stand up for truth. There's just too few of them. It makes me sad that my kids are growing up in, and will be living in, such an extremely corrupt world.
|Wed, 11-25-2009 - 12:29am
What a truly awesome piece, it says it all. "Conspiracy", its a word used to distract from reality. It's a word, nothing more. Meanwhile children are dying, parents, brothers, sisters...I need to post about the 30 dead in Canada. I know it was just a coincidence, but since this forum IS about vaccines, death after vaccine should CERTAINLY be discussed. We all know we won't hear it from the US media.
"In 1988, a program was created, the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) for the express purpose of compensating vaccine-related injury or death claims for covered vaccines administered on or after October 1, 1988. The Trust Fund is funded by a $0.75 excise tax on each dose of vaccine purchased."
Every time I read about the VICP I start to consider all those parents of SIDS babies who were not told about VICP because, after all, death within hours of vaccine(s) is completely different than SIDS.

"It was discovered that, among other things, the AMA had hired ghost writers to contribute negative publicity to newspapers, magazines and books, which would impact the ability of chiropractors to remain solvent."
And they're still doing it, only chiropractors are more a threat now then ever before because of the anti-vaccine stance that more and more seem to be taking these days...
Know your sources!

That is true until they reveal themselves to be so by claiming that there is a coordinated effort by "science", the media, Big Pharma or the government to conceal the truth.

"Eastern Point Lighthouse"
by Monnie Ryan.
A lighthouse for the PG 101 "Letter L" challenge: Eastern Point Lighthouse is located in Gloucester Harbor, Massachusetts - the oldest seaport in America. The 36-foot tower was built in 1890 on the foundation of an 1848 tower that had been torn down, and the keeper's house was built in 1879. The U.S. Coast Guard owns and maintains the property (not open to the public), but a walking trail in front of the fence leads to the 2,250-foot breakwater.

Ronald Reagan on Project Leadership
Right about now, all across the country, people are remembering Pres. Ronald Reagan and celebrating the 100th anniversary of his birth. As with all great leaders, and most American presidents, a love-hate relationship among the citizenry usually exists. Some love everything about the leader, while some hate everything the leader ever did or said. Most are somewhere in the middle, appreciating the positive things accomplished. In the spirit of full disclosure, I confess to being much closer to "love" when it comes to this particular figure, and you can figure that this column is colored that way.
Reagan was elected to office in 1980, and this is what the country's economic landscape looked like: double-digit inflation, home mortgages in the high-teens, an oil crisis and a hostage crisis in the Middle East. Hey, change the mortgage rates for unemployment rates, and things look remarkably similar to today, don't they?
The top marginal tax rate was 70 percent. Let me spell that out: seventy. What a joy it was back then, as a contractor, to take all of that risk, and then give 70 percent of my profit to the Uncle. Yikes!
Pres. Reagan cut income taxes – yet revenues to the Federal government increased substantially – something we seem to forget today. He also rebuilt the U.S. military, was a staunch supporter of the "Star Wars" missile defense idea – which ultimately resulted in the old Soviet Union giving up on the idea of world domination, and resulted in its breakup into the several republics we see now.
That's a synopsis from my viewpoint, though I'm not really here to talk about or argue political points, but leadership style. Pres. Reagan was known as "The Great Communicator" and was effective at delivering his messages to other world leaders and to the American people.
One of his very memorable speeches occurred at the Berlin Wall. We forget that Germany was once divided (since the end of WWII) into East and West Germany, and the city of Berlin into East and West Berlin. Over the years, people from the East were shot by border guards as they attempted to reach the freedom available in the West. Reagan came to Berlin on June 12, 1987, at the Brandenburg Gate, and said:
"Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"
In fact, the Wall did come down shortly thereafter, in 1989.
On Jan. 28, 1986, most of America, including millions of schoolchildren, watched on television as the space shuttle Challenger was launched. Moments into the flight, it exploded, all seven astronauts were killed. All of America mourned. Later that evening, Pres. Reagan addressed the nation:
"The future doesn't belong to the fainthearted; it belongs to the brave. The Challenger crew was pulling us into the future, and we'll continue to follow them."
Well before he became president, on Oct. 27, 1964, in a campaign speech he gave in support of a losing presidential candidate, he reminded us of American greatness, with this:
"You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness. If we fail, at least let our children and our children's children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done."
And, at a Dec. 8, 1987, joint press conference with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, when discussing the outcome of a nuclear arms limitation treaty, Reagan came right to the point:
"Trust – but verify!"
Gorbachev then reminded Reagan, "You repeat that at every meeting!"
Resolve that, especially in this crisis, regarding developers, clients, homeowners, agencies, construction managers and general contractors who ask us to "take care of" their problems by providing that which initially was never in the plans and specs, promising to see that we get paid for it in the end, remember to "Trust – but verify!"

She may be young, but she's got scrap.

When did we become???
- 0Oct 17, '03 by Dave ARNPThe other day I was thinking (I know, I'm not susposed to do that outside of a clinical setting on my own), wondering when we became the personal property of the physician we worked for?
Note that for some, this certainly does not apply, but how many times have you heard of a NP being referred to as "Dr. Joe's Nurse Practitioner" or even worse... "Hello, I'm Dr. Joe's NP".
Even if our STATE doesn't consider us independent, I think we sure as heck can walk w/o a leash. Why on earth would ANY NP even consider introducing themself as a SOMEONE's NP? I can understand saying you work with someone, but to say that you are their NP?
Just doesn't make sense to me!
Maybe I'm ranting...
Anyone care to join in?
David Adams, ARNP
- 0Oct 17, '03 by live4todayI wouldn't have been offended by someone saying that I'm so and so's nurse if that were the truth.
Were you hired by Dr. so and so to work for him/her as a NP?
If so...then you are his/her NP.
It's just like someone saying "That's so and so's husband/wife"...
Or..."That's johnny's mom/dad"
Or..."That's our nurse manager's staff, etc."
Why were you offended........may I ask?
- 0Oct 18, '03 by globalRNI always introduce myself by my name which is on my name badge and tell them that I am the hematology nurse practitioner.
It is interesting how so many patients never remember that I am the hem NP and keep calling/referring to me as the doctor or ask me when will I finish and become a doctor. I always gently correct them.
I sometimes wonder if it is because 'hematology nurse practitioner is such a mouthful that they tune out and/or they are so stressed that they can't focus on what I am saying when I meet them for the first time.
- 0Oct 18, '03 by EastCoastI have not had that experience yet (stay tuned i'm joining the world of private practice) and i hope i won't b/c i am working and biling on my own so hopefully i'll contribute enough to stand on my own. However, I HATE when i finish examining someone and they ask me as i'm walking out the door to write in their chart "when is the doctor going to see me dear?".
- 0Oct 18, '03 by Dave ARNPAt that point East, see my signature:
"Do you want to speak to the doctor in charge? Or perhaps to the Nurse Practitioner who can actually explain to you whats going on?"
Kinda hold out your badge, nod your head and say "uh huh... I thought so"
Okay... So I've not had ANY coffee today, and I'm recovering from a virus. Its a bad day here in Oz.
- 0Nov 5, '03 by avigailThe practise I work for never refers to me as "their" NP, but as the NP - i.e., a member of a different species. For example, if they are walking by my rooms and a pt asks when s/he will be seen, the answer is "Oh, the nurse practitioner will see you." This is usually said in a tone of voice that implies, "And what are you doing in an ER anyway? You don't even qualify to see the MD." I'd hate to see what would happen if they failed to turn every conversation into a means of stroking their own egos. Of course, the pt feels that she's getting a shoddy deal, when in fact, she is often getting better care (I don't hate humanity for a start).
- 1Nov 5, '03 by lalaxtonI am employed by the hospital and make a point of letting people know that when they say , "Oh, your Dr.X's nurse". One of the docs I work with tries to introduce me as his NP and I have to 'gently' remind him I don't work for him and so don't have to take his BS. (lol) Actually I get more frustrated with comments like, "So, your a doctor in training aren't you?" than with comments about some MD's NP.

Interviewed on Meet the Press last weekend, John Kerry never wavered: Invited to say he was impressed by the turnout in Iraq's election, he declined, saying that it had been merely "as expected." By whom? Was anybody else as optimistic last week as Kerry says he was? Most people had been dreading—or, depending on where they stood, contentedly expecting—an election where nobody showed up. Unlike the junior senator from Massachusetts, most of the world was surprised that so many Iraqis defied the country's murderous insurgents and stood proudly in line to cast their votes.
Good news in Iraq is rare these days. So much has turned bad that even the White House is no longer arguing that things have gone according to plan. Some of what went wrong was always going to, because the task America and its partners took on was so difficult. A lot of the mess, on the other hand, could have been avoided: Negligence and incompetence are to blame for much of it. Nonetheless, the election shows that despite all the errors, forced and unforced, not everything has gone wrong—and that a great prize is still at stake.
The occupation is unpopular with many Iraqis, and not just with the minority Sunnis: The terrible violence on the streets and the toll taken on the country's economic infrastructure have left many people feeling worse off than before the war. But the election shows that it is wrong to think that Iraqis have no real appetite for democracy, or to think that the effort spent on moving the country toward it is futile—mere public relations, undertaken at enormous cost to Iraq and America alike. On the contrary, the freedom to cast a vote, even in such a flawed election—and it certainly was flawed—obviously meant a lot to most Iraqis. This was good to see, inspiring even. It is surely a hopeful sign.
Looking ahead, though, does it make the task of America and its partners any easier? Aside from this week's lifting of the spirits—and, depending on what the insurgents do next, that may not last long—the answer is no. If the United States does the right thing, it will find no fast, easy exit from Iraq. Election Day was a success, to be sure, but it has not altered that depressing reality.
For a moment after America's victory over Saddam Hussein in 2003, as Iraqis celebrated the regime's downfall, it was possible to think that forthcoming elections would consummate the nation building that the United States had undertaken. There would be some necessary delay: a period of rule by viceroy in all but name, then partial, nondemocratic rule by Iraqis. But these transitional arrangements would be followed shortly by elections, and Iraq would be a sovereign nation again, and a democracy too.
Today, it is unclear whether a democratic Iraq can ever be a nation. At the moment, if not for the presence of American forces, Iraq would be facing an outright civil war between the majority Shiites, suppressed by the old regime, and the minority Sunnis, fighting to restore their powers and privileges. This is to say nothing of Iraq's other big minority, the Kurds, many of whom want full independence.
Eventually, some sort of loose confederation may be the only way to rule the country. But even if these groups might one day live comfortably under a single polity, America will not have built a nation in Iraq until the country is properly governable—that is, until a legitimate government has a monopoly on the use of force and all Iraqis enjoy a minimum standard of physical security. Elections are a step forward in that regard. They move the government closer to legitimacy. But they do little or nothing to move the country closer to security.
In his interview, Kerry said that the election (the Iraqi election, that is) was only "kind of" legitimate. On that, he was correct. True, it is the insurgents' fault and that of the Sunni political leaders, not the fault of America and its allies, that the election failed to draw in all Iraqis. But when it comes to judging the vote's perceived legitimacy, where the fault lies makes no difference. With Sunnis for whatever reason underrepresented in the polling, the results have no effective claim on their consent or loyalty. And the election was flawed in other ways, too: no campaigning, no engagement of competing political ideas. It was not a sham, by any means. Nor was it, unfortunately, an election that confers legitimacy in the way that is taken for granted in the West.

Cabbage is a vegetable with a small stem and a crowded mess of leaves. Rubeus Hagrid grew them in his garden.
In 1992, Flesh-Eating Slugs were ruining the cabbages in Hagrid's garden, leading him to seek a Flesh-Eating Slug Repellent in Knockturn Alley.[1] Later that year, when Harry Potter drank his Polyjuice Potion to take on the appearance of Gregory Goyle, it tasted to him like overcooked cabbage.[2]
A Chinese Chomping Cabbage is a type of cabbage found in the Wizarding world, used as a potion ingredient.

He doesn't drink. He doesn't smoke, and he doesn't do any drugs. Whether folks love Marvin Austin or hate him, his fall from grace last year is a man-sized lesson that should be told as a warning to college athletes everywhere: When the NCAA tells you that not a nickel can come to a player from an agent, they're serious. And, remember that once you tweet it, you can't take it back.
Austin was suspended for his entire final season at the University of North Carolina where he had been a highly touted defensive tackle. There were (and still are) allegations that Austin, among other players, took money in transportation costs from an agent in order to attend one of the agent's parties, and he may have taken money for other things, including an expensive watch. The school (loosely) suggested that there might have been some academic issues as well, but then another, perhaps even deeper problem surfaced...
Happy Friday, Broncos fans! Alex Marvez is reporting that the owners are demanding HGH testing be part of the next CBA. That word of this insistence is just slipping out now makes it seem more like a negotiating tactic than anything else, as there is still not yet a urine test for the growth hormone. While it's a wide (and safe) assumption that plenty of NFL players use the substance to illegally enhance their own performance, it's hard to imagine this bargaining chip providing much in the way of leverage until HGH testing graduates to something more reliable that does not require blood samples. Of course, it will be interesting to see if/how the players respond to this news, nonetheless...
Fat Man writer TJ "The Dude" Johnson posts The Dude's Mail Revue on Thursdays, in which he takes your questions and gets your opinion about the state of the Denver Broncos.
You wanna tie the room together? Or say what you'd like about the tenets of national socialism?
Drop TJ a question: email@example.com.
(NOTE: Marmots were harmed in the writing of this Revue)
TJ, last week I read your piece on the lockout in which you very much sided with the players. I see your points about the players having very short careers and that most of them aren't millionaires. I even get that most of them are going to have health problems. I'm even willing to cede that the owners are old, rich white guys who throw temper tantrums when they don't get their way. But aren't you missing the whole point here? Your socialist rant didn't address the fundamental issue of the negotiation itself.
--Ayne Rowdy Rand, Boulder, Colorado

Good Morning, Broncos fans! I was going to discuss here how absurd it is that Denver has worked out or planned to work out six QB prospects, while they've only lined up 12 non-quarterbacks (according to PFT's list). But it's only March 24, and the first round of the draft is still five weeks away from today. Perhaps that list will balance out by the time the draft arrives and Denver will have worked out 30 players who don't play QB; especially a lot more defensive players? I'll see about putting together a comprehensive list of Denver's scheduled/planned workouts with links...
Much of what has been written regarding the Broncos' draft outlook has focused heavily on the issue of which player the team takes at number two, or whether they trade down and try to pick up an extra choice or two. That's an important decision, no question. Denver's offensive and defensive lines need help, and free agency may not happen in anything like its usual manner, so deciding whether there's a player at #2 that's worth the pick or whether going for more picks is a better option ranks right up there with the call on 4th and goal with 3 seconds left on the clock - you can't afford to get this one wrong. On that issue, I found myself recalling a poster that was common when I was in college, and it probably stayed around. It only said,
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil: for I am the meanest SOB in the valley
Good Morning, Broncos fans! The NFL's Competition Committee passed some changes to kickoff procedures yesterday, although not in as drastic a form as originally proposed. The ball will indeed be moved from the 30-yard line to the 35, reversing a change the league had made (to make kickoffs more exciting, naturally) prior to the 1994 season. But unlike the first proposal, touchbacks will still place the ball at the 20-yard line, and the two-man wedge remains legal. Meanwhile, the coverage team will only be allowed a 5-yard running start rather than one of 10 or 15 yards. What do these changes mean for the Broncos? Firstly, Matt Prater becomes even more valuable - unless he's facing strong winds, he should be able to get a touchback on every kick at the Big IF and reach the end zone on the road consistently. The downside is that Denver has a more dynamic crew of kick returners than they've had in decades (Eddie Royal, Demaryius Thomas, Eric Decker, Cassius Vaughn), yet their positive contributions will more often be turned into touchbacks.
Another significant change was to the play review system - all scoring plays will now be reviewable by the replay official. This is a good move for everyone, as coaches no longer have to weigh the risk of losing challenges and/or timeouts when considering whether to protest a questionable (and potentially game-changing) play. More importantly, a missed call by the on-field officials will still be correctable even if a team is out of challenges or timeouts; this was the most unfair facet of the replay system, bringing a game-show quality to the NFL. Good riddance.
Check the picture, friends. It's 9 PM on Monday night, and I just got out of class. I had a busy day in the office, with another one starting preternaturally early (for me, anyway) tomorrow. I also need to devote some time to my impending housing situation tonight. I've decided that I have three hours to contribute tonight, and I thought that I'd reprise something I experimented with last year, which I called the Rational Actor Mock Draft. Last year, I did it as a PowerPoint slide deck and voiceover, but I'm going to write it this time.
This is conceptually different than other mockery for a few reasons:
Good Morning, Broncos fans! Luis DeLoureiro took an interesting look back at some of the more notable Wonderlic scores both high and low among quarterbacks. While there have certainly been some QBs who did poorly on the Wonderlic but excelled in the pros, it seems that guys with better scores have generally turned out to be better NFL signalcallers. For the record, Tim Tebow scored a below-average 22, Kyle Orton notched an above-average 26, while Brady Quinn posted an impressive 29. Depending upon who you ask, John Elway scored either a 30 or a 29.
This is the fourth in a multi-part series on the history of the NFL Draft. Part 1 covered the 1920s and 30s, Part 2 chronicled the 1940s, while Part 3 spanned most of the 1950s.
Aside from the change to its modern name in 1922, the biggest change in the NFL's history to this point in our story was created out of a foundering attempt to buy a baseball or a football franchise. A quiet, genteel progeny of a Texas-sized family fortune listened to a man named Branch Rickey - the same Branch Rickey who invented baseball's farm system, became president of and managed the Brooklyn Dodgers, broke the color barrier by signing Jackie Robinson, and who would in 1967 be voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Rickey was trying to put together a third baseball associations to compete with the National and American Leagues, and his concept was the Continental Baseball League. He wanted backers, men who could buy franchises but who had been shut out of the first two leagues.

Good Morning, Broncos fans! Via Mike Florio, Bart Hubbuch of the NY Post tweeted yesterday evening the following regarding Broncos owner Pat Bowlen:
Wow, does Pat Bowlen look frail and out of it. His right-hand man just had to show him how to get in a car. Sad.
As Florio reminds us, there has been a good deal of hushed speculation surrounding Bowlen's health in recent years while Joe Ellis has emerged from the shadows to execute the bulk of the Broncos' major decisions. I'm not about to play the guessing game regarding Bowlen's health, but there has certainly been some erratic behavior recently out of Dove Valley - none more so than Bowlen's public assertion that Josh McDaniels would be back as the Broncos' coach in 2011, followed only days later by the young coach's ouster. And, we may never know if Jay Cutler and Mr. B ever spoke on the phone when the QB was on his way out of town. Aside from wishing that Bowlen can somehow recover from whatever is ailing him, we can only hope that John Elway knows what he's gotten himself into, not to mention what he's doing...

NB in March 2014 the restaurant came under new ownership and it is currently in transition from Lola & Simon to L'Amorosa. The below review refers to Lola & Simon.
Just south of Ravenscourt Park, Kirsten and Nico (the café is named after their dogs), serve breakfasts, lunches and dinners that have been satisfying locals since 2007.
Customers are welcomed cheerily into the cosy split level dining room and instantly asked if they want something to warm up - with options of Monmouth coffee or tea from Teapigs. A range of cakes and pastries are all own-made and laid out temptingly on the counter.
For more substantial breakfasting, on weekday mornings, eggs are delicately poached or scrambled atop buttered sourdough toast and complemented by smoked salmon, flavourful pork and leek sausages or bacon. Meats are brought in from a nearby Chiswick institution, Macken Brothers Butchers.
On weekends, the breakfast menu gets upgraded to eggs Benedict, Royale, or roasted mushrooms for vegetarians. Pancakes come rolled around caramelised bananas and crisped back bacon, drenched generously with maple syrup.
From lunch, and more so for dinner, the menu changes to highlight the Argentinian and Kiwi roots of the owners. Chimichurri and Argentine steaks, New Zealand lamb and green-lipped mussels contribute to food with an international mix of influences.
The wine list continues on the patriotic bent, exclusively touring the proprietors' home country vineyards and including some well known Argentine vitners: Trapiche and Zapata. Bottles begin at £15 and climb from there on a steep trajectory.
A welcoming local for a bite at any time of the day.

A cautionary tale to anyone thinking of booking a party at Lola's – don't! The management have unreliable terms and conditions – changing it to suit their convenience at will. After booking a party I had to pay a large deposit which I was assured would only be retained if party's number reduced significantly without notice. Fortunately, on the day, everyone arrived. Shockingly, as one person arrived unwell and was unable to eat, a portion of my deposit was retained !! We were a large party and overall spent a significant amount, but clearly Lola felt this was not enough! Food-wise, I would not recommend 'The Big Pukka' – big it is not! It was mediocre at best – I have had a more satisfying, and better value, cooked breakfast at my local transport cafe! Overall, what seemed as a promising venue turned out to be a disappointment.
Service with a frown, at least from the waitress serving our area. The tables still had crumbs scattered noticably. All eggs poached dry and rubbery, making my partner's dish of charred bacon and hard poached eggs particularly unpalatable. Shame, as we were looking forward to this one.
What a discovery - good service, delicious brunch and comfortable surroundings!
Far from one of London's best breakfasts, I'm afraid. The quality of the eggs and sausages was obviously quite poor. Nice place and staff though.
