Robert Enke's death in 2009 changed attitutes about suicide in Germany as fans mourned the national keeper's passing, according to the author of an award-winning book that he wrote with the footballer.
Ronald Reng's "A Life Too Short" was voted William Hill Sports Book of the Year in London on Monday, a day after Wales manager Gary Speed was found hanged at his home at the age of 42.
Reng said Enke's depression-driven suicide had changed attitudes about mental illness in Germany in the macho world of professional football.
"The first team Robert played for was Moenchengladbach in the mid 1990s and through writing the the book I found out that in that one team there were five players who suffered from depression or mental illnesses and not one of them was able to address it publicly at the time," Reng told the Reuters news agency. "These days in Germany we have weekly, sadly, people from the football world opening up and saying it.
"Former player Reinhold Mathy told me that in the old days it was referred to as a "hamstring" and it still happens that people have to hide it because football is all about strength, both physical and mental, and weaknesses have to be hidden."
Since the death of Enke, who played for Hannover 96, Reng said depression was no longer such a taboo subject in football.
Deisler depression
"Before in Germany the only high profile case was of Sebastian Deisler who was the big promise of German football but he dropped out of football after admitting clinical depression," Reng said.
"After Robert's death the network of sports psychologists is much better. There are helplines, there is much higher awareness." Reng said his close friendship with Enke opened his eyes to the "old school" attitudes about mental illness and he suggested that high-profile footballers were often in more danger from the damaging, potentially life-threatening, symptoms of depression.
"People ask me, 'are professional footballers more prone to depression?' I think not. It can hit anybody but what I will say is that professional footballers are trained all their life to hide their inner feelings, their real feelings, and that makes it so much more dangerous for them because they are bound tohide their disease better than anyone else. "Robert wanted to write the book with me because it was a relief for him that one day he could talk about his depression because it was certainly a strain on him that he couldn't talk about it. He often wrote in his diaries how he wanted to shout it out to the world, but he had to lock himself in because Germany's number one (goalkeeper) is not expected to be depressed...he was supposed to be the last line of defence."
Speed won 85 caps for Wales and played with distinction for Leeds United, Everton, Newcastle United and Bolton Wanderers. He was the first player to reach 500 English Premier League appearances.
"I'm not comfortable to talk about Gary Speed because I don't know much about him other than remembering him playing for Newcastle alongside Didi Hamman and playing very well," the Barcelona-based Reng said after collecting his award.
"It would be disrespectful to his family for me to talk about it but as I said we shouldn't generalise and we have to wait and give the family the time to talk about the reason and maybe never talk about the reason. Then we can make our conclusions, but we can't speculate."

Midfielder Burge has played a minimal role in Vale's pre-season preparations due to a knee injury, while forward Williamson has been sidelined by a hamstring problem since the squad returned from their North American tour last week.
Adams expects them both to play in a friendly against Biddulph Town on Tuesday.
He told The Sentinel: "Hopefully Ryan and Ben will be fit to get some time on the pitch on Tuesday.
"It has been frustrating for them to be missing from the last couple of friendlies, but I think everyone will be fit before the start of the season except Gareth Owen (Achilles)."

Quality of nursing practice today.
What happened to the standards we were taught in nursing school? Do nurses still feel that patient care is most important? With recent experiences I have had in hospitals, I am beginning to wonder is the shortage even worse than we previously thought. With many of the nurses in pracitce now doing such a poor job they might just give nursing a bad name.
- 0Jul 20, '08 by ChristineNHow about a contest on how either how nursing as a profession or how a particular pt has impacted your life. Something encouraging, reminding us all why we do what we do.
- 1Jul 20, '08 by dylansmamaI also like the idea of a patient that changed your life...good or bad. I also think that any sort of 'death' topic is important to be discussed as well.

Buy, Sell, or Hold? Analyst Fraud from Economic and Natural Law Perspectives
Ronald J. Colombo
Hofstra University - Maurice A. Deane School of Law
February 27, 2007
Brooklyn Law Review, Vol. 73, p. 91, 2007
Hofstra University Legal Studies Research Paper No. 07-7
Investor protection and healthy capital markets are commonly acknowledged as the objectives historically driving U.S. federal securities legislation and policy. Less commonly appreciated, or perhaps intentionally neglected, is the critical role that virtue was understood to play in realizing these objectives by the architects and original enforcers of the securities laws. This understanding has largely been lost, in no small part, due to the success that law and economics has had in dominating securities law thinking. This Article posits that this original understanding can be rediscovered, and the role of virtue restored to its rightful place in securities regulation, via application of a natural law approach to securities law issues. Within the context of the recent research analyst conflict-of-interest problem, this Article compares a natural law approach to the problem with a law and economics approach. The conclusion reached is that the natural law approach is preferable on account of its endorsement of solutions that are more comprehensive, and, moreover, more harmonious with the historical values and objectives of U.S. securities law.

In Ohio, property owners can contest the value of their property for real estate tax purposes. The mechanism to do this is to a file a "Complaint Against the Valuation of Real Property" with the county auditor. Then, a hearing on the complaint is heard by the county Board of Revision ("BOR"). The deadline to file these complaints for the 2011 tax year is April 2, 2012. If your company is contemplating filing a complaint, avoid having your complaint dismissed based on the unauthorized practice of law.
The Ohio Revised Code provides that when the property owner is a "firm, company, association, partnership, limited liability company, or corporation, an officer, a salaried employee, a partner, or a member" may file a board of revision complaint. R.C. 5715.19(A)(1). However, this sweeping authority has been tempered by the Supreme Court of Ohio. The Court held that "a corporate officer does not engage in the unauthorized practice of law by preparing and filing a complaint and presenting the claimed value of the property at a hearing before the board of revision on behalf of his or her corporation." Dayton Supply & Tool Co., Inc. v. Montgomery Cty. Bd. of Revision, 111 Ohio St.3d 367, 2006-Ohio-5852, 856 N.E.2d 926, ¶ 2 (emphasis in original).
However, this holding is limited to corporate officers who have a fiduciary duty to the corporation. Id. ¶ 22. In addition, the corporate officer cannot "make legal arguments, examine witnesses, or undertake other tasks that can be performed only by an attorney." Id. ¶ 2. Furthermore, "a corporation must hire an attorney if any of the proceedings before the BOR, including the preparation and filing of the complaint, involve more than the factual issue of the value of the property, and issues exist or arise that require an attorney to resolve." Id. ¶ 31 (emphasis added).

Hi everyone
Hopefully this is the most appropriate forum for this thread.
At the moment at our school we are looking at how we can integrate our ICT services so that everything is tighter and easier to use for students and staff. For example we would like to use the least amount of user names and passwords to access systems as possible.
We are running a microsoft active directory environment, SIMS for our MIS, the county supplied OWA mail system as our internal email system, which we have no control over at all and Moodle (hosted externally) for our VLE. As you can imagine user management is a nightmare.
My plans at the moment are to install our own internal email system and also host our VLE internally. It would be interesting to hear how everyone else integrates their systems and services together.
Look forward to reading your responses. :D

f(x) – Hot Summer
GET THIS SONG:Download from iTunes Download from YesAsia
Another f(x) song! Yay! I love this song just as much as Pinocchio, if not better! I really love this video because of the dancing and all the bright colors that they're wearing. They look like they having so much fun dancing around. And they all look so pretty too. I hope more people vote for this video because f(x) is a group that is so talented, but don't get the recognition they deserve.
I think Hot Summer is a very catchy song! When it debuted this summer, I can't help but get excited to the lyrics…. and this song is perfect for me, because I live in a tropical country so it's summer everyday here!!!! Hahahaha!
This song had a very good choreography in my opinion. It is very fluid; it seems easy to dance but when you execute it, lol, good luck to your energy. This song is also very catchy. :D

Walking just 30 minutes daily can make a big difference in reducing symptoms, such as anxiety and mood swings. "When you exercise, your body releases stimulating chemicals in the brain that promote relaxation and enhance your sense of well-being," says Lori Gemma, DO, a family medicine physician affiliated with South Pointe Hospital, a Cleveland Clinic hospital. Don't like walking? Any type of cardio exercise will do; just be sure to pick an activity you enjoy, that you can do for 30 minutes and will do at least four or five times per week. Regular physical activity will also help manage or prevent physical health issues that become more prevalent once estrogen levels drop, such as cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis.Get more menopause advice from Cleveland Clinic Wellness/360-5.com.Visit the iVillage Menopause Spotlight

Space Needle wants to send a person into orbit
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Seattle's iconic Space Needle, organizers want to go beyond Earth.
Associated Press
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Seattle's iconic Space Needle, organizers want to go beyond Earth.
"We went back to 1962 and questioned why the Space Needle was built," said Ron Sevart, President and CEO of the Pacific Northwest landmark. "It was an optimistic time, a forward-looking time, right in the middle of the space race."
The Space Needle - with its hourglass tower and a top that resembles a flying saucer - embodied the era.
Inspired, Sevart and his team decided to create a multi-tiered contest to send a member of the public into orbit using a company from the burgeoning private space travel industry.
"The private business of taking people to space is right in front of us, it felt so natural for us to build a contest around that," Sevart said.
To help celebrate the future of space travel, the Space Needle is bringing one of its pioneers.
Buzz Aldrin, the second astronaut to step on the moon, is expected at Monday's formal contest announcement. He will be joined by Sevart; Eric Anderson, chairman of Space Adventures, a Virginia-based private space travel company; and Richard Garriott, one of a handful of private citizens who have spent time on the International Space Station.
"It's an opportunity for the average person have chance to do something very few people have ever done," said Anderson, whose company has sent seven people to space, hitching rides on Russian rockets.
The winning trip to space would be a suborbital shot, with about 6 minutes of zero gravity, Garriott said. The details will come later. Space Adventure is still developing the vessels that will be used for the excursions. The cost for the grand prize is about $110,000.
"The most impressive takeaway that I had on the International Space Station was seeing Earth from space, it was truly life changing," said Garriott, a computer engineer who has invested in private space travel, and spent 12 days circling Earth.
The contest - dubbed Space Race 2012 - will have several stages. First, anyone can sign up to enter at the Space Needle's website starting Monday through December. Sevart is expecting millions of entries. From there, a computer will randomly choose 1,000 people. The chosen entries will then be asked to submit a 1-minute video. Following the video, the public, via a vote, will twiddle down the number of contestants.
A fitness challenge will be set up for the top vote-getters, and to conclude, a panel will make the final selection.
The winner will be announced in April 2012, right at the 50th birthday of the Space Needle's opening.
While Sevart is encouraging everyone to submit entries, he said "space travel might not be for everyone," adding that the person needs to be "both mentally and physical prepared for it."
The Space Needle was built in 1961 as the nation was in the midst of a space race with the Soviet Union. The tower was the marquee showing at the 1962 World's Fair, which featured exhibits of that era's version of the future.
Fifty years later and the U.S. is stepping forward into a new episode in space travel. The last space shuttle to rocket to orbit landed permanently almost two weeks ago. NASA is now looking to private contractors to send astronauts to the ISS while it focuses on deeper space travel.
For Garriott, whose father was an astronaut, a contest like the Space Needle's is another step at making space travel more affordable, within reach of the public. He envisions that soon a trip to the orbit will cost as much as an around-the-world space ticket.
"I think that the biggest thing that people take away from this event, is that people's excitement about space should be reinvigorated," he said. "We're about to enter the barnstorming era of space. It's not just going to be the U.S. or Russian government sending people to space, it's going to be private individuals."

Police charge Nashua couple after mishap making methamphetamine
Originally, police went to the couple's apartment on Jan. 15 after a 911 call for an ambulance for a man suffering from burns to his body. Raymond Champagne was burned while trying to manufacture or cook methamphetamine using a "one pot" method, police said.
Investigators obtained a warrant and searched the apartment, which then was condemned by housing code enforcement inspectors.
Manufacturing methamphetamine is punishable by up to 30 years in prison and a fine of not more than $500,000 or both.
Prohibited conduct is punishable up to five years in prison with a fine of not more than $10,000 or both per count.

PITTSBURGH Carnegie Mellon Universitys Michael Bockstaller and Krzysztof Matyjaszewski have created a version of Harry Potters famed invisibility cloak for nanoparticles.
Through a collaborative effort, researchers from the departments of Materials Science and Engineering and Chemistry have developed a new design paradigm that makes particles invisible.
In a recent edition of Advanced Materials Magazine, the researchers demonstrate that controlling the structure of nanoparticles can shrink their visible size by a factor of thousands without affecting a particles actual physical dimension.
What we are doing is creating a novel technique to control the architecture of nanoparticles that will remedy many of the problems associated with the application of nanomaterials that are so essential to business sectors such as the aerospace and cosmetics industry, said Bockstaller, an assistant professor of materials science and engineering.
Colloidal particles are omnipresent as additives in current material technologies in order to enhance strength and wear resistance and other attributes. Light scattering that is associated with the presence of particles often results in an undesirable whitish, or milky, appearance of nanoparticles, which presents a tremendous challenge to current material technologies. Carnegie Mellon researchers have successfully created a way to prevent this problem by grafting polymers onto the particles surface.
Essentially, what we learned how to do was to control the density, composition and size of polymers attached to inorganic materials which in turn improves the optical transparency of polymer composites. In a sense, light can flow freely through the particle by putting grease onto its surface, said Matyjaszewski, the J.C. Warner University Professor of Natural Sciences in the Department of

Bahraini men gather to search the sky over the Persian Gulf for the crescent moon in the western village of Karzakan, Bahrain, on Tuesday, July 9, 2013. The new moon heralds the start of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, a time of fasting, prayer and charitable giving for Muslims worldwide. Bahrain announced Ramadan officially begins Wednesday in the kingdom. (AP Photo/Hasan Jamali)
BEIRUT (AP) — Many devout Muslims in the Middle East have started observing the dawn-to-dusk fast for the month of Ramadan even as the region is rocked by Egypt's turmoil and the relentless civil war in Syria.
For most Sunnis and Shiites, Ramadan started on Wednesday while others are expected to begin observing the holy month on Thursday — differences based on various sightings of the new moon.
Nowhere is the hardship for this Ramadan starker than in Syria, where the civil war is now in its third year. The U.N. says at least 93,000 people have been killed since the conflict erupted.
Syria's fragile currency has reached an all-time low while food and fuel prices are soaring. The U.N. says over 4 million Syrians risk going hungry because they can't afford food.

December 2, 1925 - February 27, 2010
Elaine C. Merry of Walla Walla, moved on to heaven February 27, 2010, at Providence St. Mary Medical Center. Her funeral will be 1:00 p.m., Wednesday, at Mountain View-Colonial DeWitt with Pastor Bill Dupignac of Grace Baptist Church officiating. Graveside service will follow at Mountain View Cemetery.
Pallbearers will be John Merry, Remick Merry, Rodney Merry and son-in-laws Steven Martonick and Van Voorhies. Memorial contributions may be made to Grace Baptist Church c/o Mountain View-Colonial DeWitt, 1551 Dalles Military Road, Walla Walla, Washington 99362.
Elaine was born December 2, 1925, in Walla Walla, Washington, to Willis and Esther (Baker) Dirks. After her birth, Elaine's family moved to the prairies of Colorado where Elaine had a special knack for digging up sand toads. Times were hard there for the family as the Depression settled over the country and in a few short years they moved back to the Charles Baker place west of Walla Walla. Elaine spent her school years in Lowden later graduating high school from Wa-Hi. She went on to Kinman Business University in Spokane and worked for the Corps of Engineers.
Shortly after the war, she met her husband Francis at a dance at the local Natitorium and that dance lasted 59 years. They were married October 21, 1950 in Walla Walla. Through the years Elaine raised five children with the last two being twins. She was an avid Bible reader and she loved to travel. The most memorable was a trip to the Holy Land that she and her husband talked about for years. She also enjoyed traveling around this country until ill health made travel too hard. Elaine loved her Lord, her family and her beloved Siamese cat Benny.
She is survived by her husband, Francis J. Merry of Touchet; two daughters: Kathleen Voorhies of Touchet and Marlane Martonick of Moscow, Idaho; three sons: John Merry of Touchet, Remick Merry of Seattle and Rodney Merry of Kennewick; one sister, Beverly Ann Caroway of Moses Lake and two brothers: Gary Dirks of Port Orchard and Dean Dirks of Libby, Montana; eight grandchildren and three great-grandchildren as well as numerous nieces and nephews. She was preceded to glory by her parents and an infant sister.

Online Singing Lessons
"How to learn to sing" might seem like an almost impossible challenge when your starting out but Yes, you can learn how to sing!
On your journey to learn and improve your singing is not only fun but you can also do it from the comfort of your own home. If you have a room in your house or someplace that you feel comfortable singing without worrying about disturbing your neighbors or whoever. Then with a little self discipline, a little practice, you will learn to sing. You can improve your singing a lot faster with online singing lessons.
Some important features to focus on when you want to learn to sing online is to work on proper breathing. The way you breathe will help you improve the clarity in your voice. This in turn will improve your enunciation and once that part is under control you've understood the basic key elements required to learn how to sing better because how to learn to sing is a great way to spend some time relaxing or doing a hobby that you really enjoy.
After developing the clarity in your voice then you can work on developing your "ear"; which is your sensitivity to sounds along with your ability to not only identify different musical tones and sounds but also being able to reproduce them with your own voice. This is the ultimate goal when and the main reason why many people study how to learn to sing. What does the bbc have to say about learning how to sing?
Let's take a look at enunciation again; clarity in your voice so that the listener can understand what you are singing is very important. When you just start learning how to sing better, it might seem like you'll need a lot of time but actually just reading a book out loud, looking at the way your mouth moves, the way your tongue travels across your teeth and in your mouth. How to learn to sing is about learning how to control your mouth, tongue, throat muscles along with your breathing. Luckily with today's technology it's easy to get an on line tutor, someone who will be there for you so that you can learn to sing better by training online. Learn to sing online not only saves you time but also money as well, since you can avoid expensive classes, long trips or imagine if there are no singing coaches in your area."

Just a short note
I thought I had to just write something short to explain why not much new is popping up on this blog this autumn. Have mentioned it in a comment here or on another blog, but might as well tell you all.
First I didn't blog because I was under the weather with all that's happened these last 12 months -- and now I don't blog because I'm spending the mornings working on one of those unemployment activities one sometimes end up in. It's not easy getting up early in the mornings when you're a night owl -- and then I have a relatively long walk to the bus so I end up being a tad tired when I get home. And, also, there's less time for me to be on the computer blogging now that I don't get home until 14 o'clock every day. E-mails, catching up on blogs etc I follow and writing for my other blog takes precedence, unfortunately.
So, to conclude, I haven't abandoned this blog for ever, nor am I not writing here because I'm still feeling down or am stuck in dark and dreary mood. It's mostly a matter of time now. Hopefully I'll soon get used to my new schedule and find room for blogging too. (But then again, I keep saying stuff like that all the time and then things get in the way and I end up not blogging much anyway...)
Because I haven't shared anything silly our cats have done in ages, here's a pic for you to play "where's the cats?" with. That's Julle next by the door, but what do you think of Ubbi's new best spot for an afternoon nap? (Pic's from september: it's been a bit too cold and rainy lately so he prefers the bed now. And, yes, it's easy for him to get to his napping place, but it's been difficult for him to get back in the same way -- not that that stopped him from jumping up there again the next day.)

Flower bead photo
Ok, I can't just keep blogging about negative things (be it stuff that's happened, my mood or accidents like today) so to balance it up a bit today, here's a pic of some autumnal flower beads.
Colours are amber, crystal champagne, smoke topaz and aqua celsian (at least I'm 99 % sure of that last one). I've had these beads for some years now and it was probably two years ago that I put the mix together -- or, to be precise, added the aqua/teal beads to the other beads, which I bought at the same time. It's probably about time I use the mix soon, don't you think?
Etiketter: bead photos, czech, design woes
Cats, beads and cameras -- not a good combination!
Many things have kept me from the blog since I said I was back. Today I tried to shape up and focus on my blogs by taking some bead photos I've been meaning to get done for ages. Now that my other blog is back on schedule, I can't keep postponing it.
Unfortunately, if you sit outdoors taking photos because of the good light here, you will attract cats -- something I wrote about in this post (with pics of how it can look). Today I attracted Mimi and Figge. Mimi and photo set-ups are like moths and lamps -- she just have to get into them and sit in them! -- so I did my best to keep her and her dirty little paws as far away as possible. Which meant trying to make her lie down on the other side of the table. But while I was taking photos, she saw an opportunity to edge closer and closer. Finally, she was so close she bumped my set-up (one of these) when sitting down. You know, in that way cats do when they're offended because you don't focus on them when they want you to. Now that wasn't too much of a problem: I'm used to it and held on to the set-up.
No, the problem was when I had taken my last photo and was getting ready to turn off the camera and put all the beads back. I looked down at the camera for a few seconds -- seconds Mimi used to headbutt the lightweight plastic set-up off the table, spreading my little beads (silky beads, 4 mm cubes, 6/0s and 9/0s) on the old and dirty cracked concrete "terrace" where I was sitting. Well, not just on it: I was sitting by the edge so some beads probably fell down below -- in a field of weed, nettles and Himalayan balsam. Gaaah!
We're not going into what carefully chosen words I screamed... After banging me fist in the table, which achieved nothing but hurting my hand. Not even a satisfying loud bang. And my hand still hurts now, hours later...
Anyway, I managed to rescue most of the beads. Four silky beads are still lost as are two 4 mm lavender cube beads and an unknown, but luckily small, amount of the seeds.
I really like being able to sit outdoors, taking bead photos, as the light is better than anything I have indoors, but it sure does have its drawbacks... (For another -- not cat related -- example of this, see this post I wrote in 2010.)
So not a disaster, but it still feels like I'm having a Tycho Brahe day as I've had computer problems the rest of the afternoon. Really frustrating, headache-inducing software crashing type of problems. To top it all off, I accidentally deleted a browser add-on I find really useful when I was planning on removing another, which I suspect is causing the browser to run slowly and crash. And now I can't find it again.The computer mouse is just this far from being put in a meat grinder as it's getting inpossible to left click without it either interpreting it as a double (or triple) click or no click at all. This is the problem with living in the countryside: I can't just pop in to the nearest store to pick up a new one and ordering online cost money for shipping and take days. It just keeps getting better and better...
So a lot of time and energy focused on stuff like that instead of on blogging, editing photos etc. Still, hope to be able to show some pics soon and get back into blogging. It's also the reason why I haven't had much time to answer comments and e-mails these last couple of weeks.
Etiketter: bead photos, czech, stuff
Saturday, 30 August 2014
We'll... First I say I'm back blogging -- and then I don't say anthing more for days? I was planning of posting more, but I got a call wednesday evening asking if I could work thursday-friday and so I've had to get up early, which I don't enjoy, to pick potatoes from 7 Am to 4 PM, which left me tired with sore back and leg muscles. So not much time spent online these last few days as I've pretty much come home, found something to eat and then fall asleep.
But I thought I'd just post a glimpse of the autumn pinboard mentioned in the last post. (Should perhaps point out that "autumn poetry" isn't a translation of höstmys, it's just two different autumnal words I put together when naming the board.) Before, autumn has mostly been about trees and nature so all autumn related pins ended up in the tree and flower pinboard, but this time I started thinking about all that's great about autumn and felt I just have to collect it all in a dedicated pinboard -- books, warm drinks, open fires, cozy blankets, warm socks, apple picking, leaves, october dew and november frost.
It was actually after starting to think about buying a new pair (over) knee socks that I finally created the board -- and hence why one of the first pins included some warm purple socks. Nothing makes you feel better on a cold, wet day than warms socks and fluffy blankets. The winter before last, I picked up a pair of over knee socks, which I've never owned before and loved how great it was to use long socks during winter, when wearing skirts can be a bit chilly. So this winter I, at times, kept my eyes open for another pair of cheap knee socks, but the once I wanted were sold out, and then it got warmer and I forgot about it. Until it got so cold and rainy now in august. Last weekend I had to put on the long socks as it was getting too cold for short skirts, but my long skirts were all in the laundry basket. It was so cozy to sit with warm socks on my feet and wrapped in a blanket, reading comics (can't read Tolstoy and Bronte all the time) with lit candles around the room, that I started thinking about getting more long socks and warm winter socks now that it got so cold. And that helped me get into that "cold months are cozy" mood.
I am looking forward to autumn now -- even more once I decide on which warm socks to buy -- and hopefully it'll start showing on the blog once the leaves start turning and the apples need picking.

After rain
Several times have I though about sitting down and writing a new blog post, but every time something has failed me. I haven't abandoned this blog, but ever since Knatti's death I haven't been in the mood to write. For one reason or another, it hasn't been the same reason every day. I've felt drained, my mind has been unhappy, laced with guilt and worries [which is what I'll call it for the sake of this blog].
It was like everything that's happened since last august piled up and Knatti was the final straw. I just couldn't find the energy for things, not for making nor for writing anything (including replies on the kind comments I got from blog readers on that last post before disappearing off the blog). Then came the extremely hot days of July that drained my body rather than my mind -- sunny summer days are lovely, but it was too hot for me. I tried several times to jump start my creativity. Usually it's just a matter of getting started, gaining momentum and then the enthusiasm takes over, rekindle the passion. But this time, it didn't really work. I haven't even picked up my camera very often, which has usually been a way of battling creative ruts with its instant satisfaction and motivation to go for walks, get the body working.
The few things I started didn't enthuse me, the results were poor and left me feeling blue and useless rather than pushing me to do something else, something more. I just got frustrated and then not doing anything made me feel guilty and tired. While I have enjoyed many of the summer days, those feelings of guilt and tiredness have almost always been there. Not always all-consuming, often almost gone or just like a dull feeling in the back of the head. It certainly haven't been a deeply depressing time and I've had some good times, but the energy levels have often been low and it's easy to forget the good days when feeling down. So despite all the good and great days, it feels like I've wasted a summer. You can't rewind time and there's always a kind of guilt in feeling you've wasted time.
Those grey clouds in my mind also affected my writing. I've posted on my other blog throughout the summer, but it was pretty much done on autopilot. A few times I felt like posting here, but the words didn't come, or I lost energy sitting down in front of the blank computer screen. I didn't feel any enthusiasm about blogging.
I have however pinned. Pinning is easy, effortless but still rewarding. I can still get really into searching for things, looking around websites for new finds etc. So pinning has kept me from feel too listless, it's given me something to do. Something FUN to do. I've also found myself getting back to an interest I've had before, but which is even more expensive than beading or cats: perfume. Especially niche perfumes. When you can't make anything else work, scents are really great pick-me-ups. They can remind one of cherished memories, happy things, favourite places, they can paint a picture for you or transport you to another place, they can calm you down or make you feel warm and cozy. In my usual way, taking up a hobby or getting a new/renewed interest in something means immersing myself. Partially it's a matter of money: if you can't buy all that you want, you can at least read up on it and that's what I've done. So far I've got a list of over 570 perfumes I want to try after reading fragrance pyramids and reviews. That's not counting the half dozen samples already bought.
Especially two of the perfumes really helped my mood. One was an aquatic/marine rose fragrance that was a great soothing, calming and cooling scent for the sunny days and one was a warm, cozy woody vanilla for the rainy and cold days and, especially, nights. Because the weather turned, not just changed a little but did almost a 180 degree turn. And not for the better.
In mid-august the tropical heat of July turned into quite the opposite. The temperatures plummeted, it started raining every day, we got the gale-force winds of late autumn and everything was just wet and chilly. It was more like mid-october than mid-august! Felt like the weather lasted for ages, but of cause it's just been a couple of weeks. Warm socks and cozy vanilla perfume has kept the grey outside from building up too much inside me, but it's still been some dreary weeks.
A few days ago, I started an autumn pinboard to try an pick myself up as I usually do love autumn a lot and at the same time the weather changed. The heavy grey skies are -- literally -- gone with the wind. Today the sun is shining, the sky is a brilliant blue only partially obscured by clouds that are more white than grey, there's just a slight, crisp wind and the last rain is now only visible as drops on the leaves and grass. The combination of the two has really brightened my mind. It still feels more like october than august, but at least it feels like sunny october days.
And that's where I'm at right now. Feeling like things are getting a little better. My mood, the weather. I'm looking forward to a beautiful autumn and I hope it'll also make me feel better. Some sunshine, crisp but gentle winds, apple picking, grape eating and forest walks is what I need now to recharge my batteries and air out all the bad thoughts -- and these are the perfect days for it now. Things feel a bit brighter now.

Crying over Knatti: part 2
There was of cause no miracle to be had. On monday morning, Knatti was even worse. It was painful to see him suffer and painful to feel like we abandoned him when he needed us near him the most. While I grieve that he had to die, what breaks my heart is feeling that he spent his last days detached from his safety, from his family and home. Someone pointed out that we always die alone, even if we're surrounded by loved ones, but Knatti also suffered his last time alone and that pains me to think of. We were of cause there when he got that final, lethal injection that stopped his heart, but those were just his last minutes. When he was so ill I don't even know if he fully understood that we were there or if he was too ill to be comforted by our presence.
Logically, I know we did the only thing that could be done to try and save his life, but it doesn't change the fact that with the outcome being what it was, this left him very alone in a strange place, subjected to needles and pains without us, those who should protect him from everything bad and soothe him when in pains, for what in a cat's mind must have been a very long time. I can't undo that, I can't turn back time. I can't even persuade myself that it was the right thing to do, the only chance he had, as I can't ignore how that decision determined how his last days became. And I don't want anyone else to try and persuade me.
And regardless of how he died, there's also another thing: he derserved more years. He wasn't old. He was the kindest of cats, who never harmed anyone who got into fights. Life is unfair, that's just the way it is. And Knatti's short life is just one more example of that. Had life been fair, he'd still have most of his years in front of him. He died too young. That's the long and the short of it: he deserved more years. Many more years.
I posted photos of him in the last post, but missed this one, which shows how sweet he was. It's Knatti with his new baby brother sleeping by his side. He always was the kindest, the one most likely to accept new kittens -- even when they became older, more mischievous, and wanted to play (which includes things like ear biting, which often render them a slap by the adult cats, but not from Knatti). He placidly accepted them, even when more wild than the other big cats, including their moms, found tolerable. Maybe it was only fitting that he got a grave beside some of the youngest kittens in our cat cemetary.
To end this post, I've picked out a few of the pics we took last week when Julle and Knatti came with my sis and I up in the hill. Of all cats, those two are the ones that appreciated our forest walks the most. They loved tagging along (Julle, of cause, still does), not least as they got us to themselves. Two peaceful cats that otherwise are pushed aside by the tougher ones. So in a way it's fitting that the last images of him is in a place and a situation he enjoyed so much. Never in a million years did I on that day think it would be the last time I sat with him in my lap, watching the sunset and stroking his fur on a beautiful, quiet summer evening.
Oh, sweetheart...

Crying over Knatti
It feels like this blog way too often becomes a place for me to cry over cats. This time it's Knatti, sweet, shy little Knatti who has always been the most peaceful of our cats. He's still alive, though just barely hanging on, but unless a miracle happens, there's nothing more to do than take that horrible decision pet owners sometimes have to face.
Knatti went missing earlier this week and while we tried to tell ourselves he was ok, we did worry sooner than we would've with many of the others. Partially because Knatti almost always come in to us 2-3 times a day and is around the house at night, more or less regularly, and partially because he's had a history of sensitive stomach so we want to see him (and feed him) as often as possible to make sure he's ok. I haven't counted, but he was gone at least 48 hours and some more before suddenly turning up yesterday afternoon -- in such a bad condition. I've never seen a cat so dehydrated -- sure, they can be gone and come home dying, but this has happened so, so fast! -- he was in a horrible state and I don't know how he managed to make it home to us. He refused to eat or drink and there was nothing else to do, but hope the vet was in on the biggest summer holiday of the year.
The verdict was grim from the beginning: he was in such a bad state that the vet feared the kidneys were gone and that nothing could be done to help him, but put him on IV to give him a chance. Today I spoke to the vet and the news were just as bad as yesterday. Worse. The treatment hasn't worked (so far), he's not showing the improvements he should be showing at this poing, and we were told to discuss letting him go. He'll stay one more night -- and I'm so sad to have to leave him in an unknown environment for so long, being ill and probably feeling unsecure in this place with new people, new smells, new animals. After all, he came home to be near us and this is how we repay him, leaving him somewhere he doesn't understand -- somewhere that in the end can't save him. I want him at home, in bed where we could comfort him and soothe him. Unless a miracle happens now, tomorrow will be his last day.
(To make matters worse, all mom can go on about is the vet bill, which I'm paying solo, and questioning if we can afford it. If she had her way, Knatti would've been put down already yesterday to minimize both vet costs and the number of cats we have.)
That above is the newest pic of Knatti I have here. Have taken a few more just a few days ago, but they're on my sister's camera. Below are a few more pics, which I've shown on the blog before.
Evening addendum: I couldn't sleep well last night and when I did I dreamed of Knatti. Knatti being scared by thunder during the night, us trying to get to Knatti but being unable. Then I woke early and spent most of the morning feel sick and worried, with a big lump churning in the stomach. I tried to distract my mind during the afternoon, perhaps even try to hope for that miracle. A late miracle, but not too late. Now it's almost evening again. Last night I was at least partially able to fall asleep in the evening from the shock of seeing the state Knatti was in, the emotional turmoil, but also from feeling he was in the right hands (even if the verdict was negative already then). This night I don't know how to sleep, know that tomorrow we'll have to decide Knatti's fate and there seem to be only one thing to do. Only hours left -- and he'll spend them alone, so far from us and we so far from him.
The hardest part right now -- especially now that it's soon night -- is that he's at the vets still receiving treatment, one more dark night away, and my heart is breaking because I can't shake off the feeling that he's feeling abandoned and alone, perhaps being not just ill but scared in that strange place without familiar faces or scents (he has a blanket from home so I hope it's a tiny comfort). Facing the fact he'll most likely die very soon isn't easy, but as long as it isn't happening right now I can push it away. Right now I'm crying over him feeling abandoned and frightened by all that's happening: the illness, our taking him to a strange, unknown place and not coming back. I want to hold him in my arms and soothe him and tell him everything's going to be ok. Heck, if possible I would've told the vet I'd spend the night on the floor next to him. Not only can't I make him healthy, I can't even give him comfort because I'm not with him. It just hurts so much thinking of him so alone and uneasy. He doesn't know what's happening to him, where he is, where we are, if we'll even come back. It feels light he was lightyears away from me when he should be at home, safe. If not from illness so safe in the sense of being wrapped in love, familiar surroundings and a peaceful athmosphere.
It just pains me to think that we can't give him that now. We try to give him something else, a chance to live, but it's such a slim chance that it's hard to not just see the unease and ordeal we're putting him through by leaving him at the vet's for treatment this long. I don't want him to worry, to be scared or feel abandoned tonight. It must seem like forever to him since we left him, since we (in his eyes) left him, dumped him, never to return. He came home because he wanted to be near us, to have us help him and we did that by removing him further from us -- in distance and time -- than he's ever been.

Get ready for an awesome augmented reality beaver
We all agree that you can do a lot with augmented reality these days. You can have a creepy virtual date, or take part in a fictional conspiracy game. But if you are looking for something just plain cute and clever, we now have Sharky the Beaver, an adorable augmented reality 3D character app for the Sphero orb.
The Sphero is a little robotic sphere with an internal motor controlled by a Bluetooth enabled smartphone or tablet. It has a sophisticated bag of tricks to move around, courtesy of a built-in gyroscope, accelerometer and compass. Adding the app turns the sphere into an eager little beaver that walks along and loves to run after the virtual cupcakes you toss at it.
The only trick is to see Sharky, you have to keep the sphere in sight and view it through your device's camera. Otherwise all you'll see is the rolling sphere.
Orbotix has developed both the Sphero, and the Augmented Reality with Sharky the Beaver app. The company is looking to expand its range of characters, which would give people a variety of 3D characters to and play with.
After viewing the video of Sharky in action, he comes across as a mashup of Sonic the Hedgehog and a Tamagotchi. I can envision a world where people will collect the various characters, play with them like pets, and perhaps someday even have their characters interact with each other.
The Sphero has over 20 other apps out there and an SDK that has allowed industrious fans to create their own hacks and apps. The geek out factor with the Sphero orb is pretty high, but now Sharky the Beaver ups its game with cuteness factor.
After all, who doesn't love a good animated beaver that will do anything for a cupcake? Check out the video of it in action below.

Loneliness, fatigue may be cause of new mom's job angst
Dear Carolyn advice column
Syndicated columnist
Dear Carolyn
Adapted from a recent online discussion.
Hi, Carolyn:
I need help tackling a big decision. I'm a first-time mom (baby is 10 months old) currently staying at home. We moved for my spouse's job before the baby came and I'm unemployed for the first time in my adult life. My skill set is very specific; there are no local job opportunities.
I have a possible job opportunity that is well matched skill-wise, but requires a lengthy daily commute and semi-frequent out-of-town travel. My spouse works a rotating day-night shift, making child care a challenge. I currently look after the majority of child care, meals, household chores, bills, etc.
Some days I love being home with my child, and other days I feel like getting back into the workforce is the thing to do. Our family is in a different part of the country and we don't have much of a support network here.
I've recently been diagnosed with postpartum anxiety but am starting to feel back to myself thanks to medication. I don't know how to start to figure out which choice is best for me, my child, my spouse, our family. Can you give me some questions to think about that might help point me toward making a choice and feeling confident it's a good fit?
— To Work or Not
DEAR TO WORK OR NOT: The big decision here is whether to be a full-time, at-home mom or to seek some kind of employment. The decision about this particular job is not big, it's just an incremental decision in the course of the bigger decision.
So, start by asking yourself whether you want to work outside the house, and, more aptly, why you've come to consider it now. Is the opportunity driving the conversation? Your unease at being "unemployed"? A sense that being an at-home mom doesn't suit you?
Also discuss with your husband where your preference tips — i.e., what amount of stress on your home life would overwhelm any benefits you get from working. That stress can be emotional (lost time with baby and spouse, bad professional fit, being pulled in too many directions), financial and logistical, including child care, which warrants its own category.
If you decide a job makes sense for you and your family, then you weigh this job on its merits alone. It sounds as if you have two solid reasons to say no to the current offer (commute, travel) and one solid one to say yes (uncommon skill match). So, all you need to do for this decision is figure out which trumps what.
If you decide you want a job but not this one, then you move on to the next big question: What kind of work do you want, can you get, and will best accommodate your priorities? Is a career change a viable option? Retraining?
Finally, as you toss all this around, strengthen your network a bit — find a mom's group, a "parent's day out"-type child-care cooperative, or a baby music or swimming or movement class, since all of these are basically new-parent mixers. While yours is technically a work-or-don't question, it feels to me like a loneliness-and-fatigue question, and no wonder. Isolation and baby care just don't mix.

It says ... "Visit Israel .... You'll Never Be The Same" .....
Well, I guess not !!!! ...... Israel just attacked Syria .... and now, Syria and Iran are all pissed off and are contemplating a counter-strike against Israel ....
Anybody want to join me at the ticket counter ???
lol..........amazingly funny.
The blue haired fella is going to Israel.
Though neighboring countries are full of vitriol.
After contacting a psychic.
She said you won't like it.
Maybe the EP ads aren't so trivial.
Count me out!
Dang....I just may have to remove my ad blocker. I missed the "gone squatchin" ad with the big dude with the red hair.
But I'll pass on the trip Laff. :-D
Oh hot Arab girls dating!! Thats new.
You mean there are other dating sites too? =o/
This is too funny!!
Some of the psychics looked a lil scary but this sounds down right dangerous!! Lets go skiing at a nice lil resort in Vermont instead.....Wayyyyy safer!!
I love the EPA warning that says "Keeping pets off the furniture can help prevent asthma attacks." Thanks EPA.
but....my pets have been on the furniture! I have to hold my breath! The EPA said so....it was right over there to the right.....Now it's a nearly naked gal wearing a "gone squatchin" t-shirt. I'm so confused.
You both are lucky, I`m seeing American Express ads. *sigh*
Now I am seeing your bearded dude with a boxing pug on his t-shirt. I am going to have to sleep with the light on tonight.
That is so funny! Nope, I think you can take that trip all by your lonesome self.
apparently :-)
Lol!!!! I hate the ads too because if you use your smartphone to EP, my fingers always accidently click on the link to open another window. Its so annoying.
I have to look. Didnt know those things existed. :)
I have Ad Block......you should get it.....I wouldn't steer you wrong ;-)
I trust you!! :)
Add block....??? Has my phone life just been saved?!?!

why did the lecturer add 605 for the last figure? should it not have been +1250 again ??
faser says
You are right. It seems that the last computation is totally wrong. It should have been 3105 (not 3015) plus 1250 which btw does not result in 4455 but 4350. Maybe the tutor was checking if his students in the class were sleeping or sth
