With a comprehensive range of products and color options, there's a Vondom for every style conscious user.
To maintain their superior standard for artistry and quality, all Vondom pieces are made in Valencia, Spain using an ecological material called polyethylene, which is highly weatherproof and hardwearing. The creativity goes beyond the product itself and extends to the deployment of cutting-edge machinery, such as advanced roto-molding technology. Shaping polyethylene into sophisticated contours through this green manufacturing process is a near impossible feat, resulting in the production of highly exclusive products.

In an historic midday ceremony that began with a Black Fox Farms luncheon and ended at the 20th Street subdivision for the traditional Litany of Dedication, the smiling Hetibacks became the 100th family to move into a Habitat-constructed home in the Cleveland organization's 22-year history.
Also on hand for the presentation of keys — which were given by Lee University's Chris Conine — were the four Hetiback youngsters — Sylvanna, 17; Veston, 14; Vesrod, 13; and Stelson, 7.
To double the day's pleasure, Habitat volunteers and community supporters also dedicated Home No. 98 which is next door to the Hetibacks. Accepting these keys were Tracy Gann and her two children — Noah, 11, and Destiny, who proudly proclaimed to be "9 3/4."
Habitat for Humanity volunteers will dedicate homes No. 101 and No. 102 next week.
Of his island homeland located in the Western Pacific in the same region as the Philippines and Indonesia, Hetiback explained in broken English, "... It is a poor country." He described it as "overpopulated and dangerous."
The Hetibacks already had relatives who lived in Cleveland so they moved to the U.S. seven years ago.
"Our children will have a better chance to prosper in Cleveland, Tenn., than other places," he said. "... We have moved here [because] we have more opportunities [in] education, jobs and freedom. No matter what country we are from, every man wants to provide his own home, to give his family security."
Hetiback said as a husband and father, he has yearned for such an opportunity.
"These things we have sought to find, and we have found them here," he said. "My family and I are really excited today ... special thanks to the sponsors, and to the workers who are helping me and my family to bring us into this brand new house. Words cannot express the gratitude that we feel. We thank God for this special blessing."
Hetiback also recognized the home's construction partners, especially lead sponsor Lee University whose staff, faculty and students were sponsoring their third Habitat home.
"Friends and neighbors of Cleveland and Bradley County, thank you so much," he added.
On-site at the dedication ceremonies, Gann said her family too is excited to be Habitat homeowners. At one time, the family was homeless.
"This is just overwhelming," she said. "[This home] means a lot to me and to my family ... to be able to have a place where the kids will grow up and to be a part of this community."
Because the day's events were historic for the local Habitat affiliate, they included several presentations, one of which came from Dr. Paul Conn, 26-year president of Lee University, who delivered the luncheon's keynote address.
Like several other community organizations and companies, Lee University is a longtime partner with Habitat for Humanity. Conn reflected to the school's first home build at a site located between the school and Brown Stove Works.
"We could tell immediately this was our kind of project," Conn told the luncheon gathering.
He added, "We have loved being involved in many, many ways ever since then." The veteran educator, who was described by Habitat volunteer Jerry Bohannon as "the ignitor of the Lee Flame," praised Habitat for Humanity for its community impact while generating little controversy in its work.
Conn pointed to Habitat as a nonprofit group that makes a difference through "... pure creativity and energy and community support."
As a nonprofit itself, Lee University traditionally does not financially support other nonprofits. Habitat for Humanity is an exception. In the president's words, "... How can we not support Habitat?" Conn said Habitat "... reaches out to all kinds of people, all kinds of skills [and] has all kinds of energy."
He added, "We're just thrilled to be a part of it."
Lee University's volunteer support for Habitat is a widespread one that includes staff members, faculty, students, campus organizations and others. Conn himself physically worked on the construction site of House No. 100 during the raising of the walls.
"What is it about Habitat that is such a great fit for Lee?" Conn rhetorically asked his noonday listeners. "I think it's the same thing that makes it a great fit for all of you."
He listed three common values shared by Habitat, Lee and other community organizations that support Habitat. They include:
- A belief in the importance of family.
- A belief in serving others.
- A belief in the power of community.
"Families don't live in houses," Conn said. "Families live in homes. They create homes. They inhabit homes. The connection to Habitat for all of us is our belief in the family."
Serving others is equally as important, he noted.
"We believe in the impulse in the human spirit that says you haven't really lived until you have lived a life of giving," Conn stressed.
Of the power of community, he pointed to Cleveland's fundamental values.
"This is a town with a huge heart," Conn said. "This is a town that loves to give ... and a town in which people are all different stripes, all different types, who come together and work in bringing all their different gifts to do things for others. That doesn't happen anywhere more than at Habitat for Humanity."
In tribute to Habitat's milestone of reaching 100 homes, Conn announced Lee University is launching a new program — to be coordinated through Mike Hays, vice president for Student Development — in which the university will provide a college course free of charge to each member of a new Habitat house. He said such students could be parents interested in learning life skills or their children who are exploring their educational path.
He pledged Lee University's continued support for the Habitat mission.
"As long as there is a Lee University and a Habitat for Humanity in this community, we will be stepping up to be your partners," Conn closed. "Congratulations on this wonderful milestone. God Bless you."
In other developments:
- Barry Boettner, chairman of the Habitat for Humanity board of directors, told the luncheon crowd the organization values all levels of gifts. Of those received from individuals and community partners since 1990, he pointed out, "Some of these contributions were large. Some were small. But every contribution was important." He thanked Habitat's community partners for helping the nonprofit to reach the 100th home milestone.
- Habitat volunteer Cliff Hudson said Habitat over the years has worked with many community partners; however, a handful have worked with the local organization since almost the beginning. He called them "stalwart organizations" whose ongoing support has been consistent and unconditional. He said his list is not all-inclusive, but he did point to the longstanding support of Broad Street United Methodist Church (where the idea of a local Habitat affiliate was actually founded), First Cumberland Presbyterian Church, Easy Auto, Whirlpool, the city of Cleveland, Lee University, Habitat ReStore, Ocoee Region Builders Association, Bank of Cleveland and Bradley Sunrise Rotary Club.
- Sponsors of the 100th home were also recognized. They included the Lead Sponsor, Lee University; Foundation Sponsors: Habitat ReStore, Bradley Sunrise Rotary, Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati and Whirlpool Corporation; and Community Builders Society: Bank of Cleveland, KACE Developments, Knights of Columbus/Queen of Heaven, Resolute Forest Products, TVA and Fitzgerald Family Foundation. The sponsorship list included 57 individual donors.
- Mara Grisham, chairman of the Habitat Family Advocate Committee who has volunteered as an advocate for 20 years, explained her involvement and the roller coaster of emotions that families go through in preparing to become Habitat homeowners, in helping to build their houses, in becoming integral members of the community and in serving as Habitat volunteers once they have moved into their own homes. Grisham thanked Habitat volunteers and community supporters for making it possible to see "the true faces of Habitat ... the homeowners."
n Bob Zwarych, pastor of Joy Christian Fellowship, presented Bibles to the Hetiback and Gann families, as well as food baskets, first aid kits and other gifts from Habitat for Humanity, Cleveland State Community College and The Caring Place.
- Annie Kinworthy, who leads Community Development for the Habitat affiliate, presented Habitat Hero Awards and also recognized longtime volunteers Hazel Spain and Jim Tucker, who were celebrating birthdays Wednesday. Tucker was the first recipient of the Habitat Hero Award in 2010. This year's honorees included the entire group of construction core volunteers. Each received plaques of appreciation.
- Three longtime Habitat volunteers — Don Rollens, Chuck Haney and Charlie Bolick — were recognized as workers whose hands had touched almost every home built by Habitat for Humanity in its local 22-year history. In the words of volunteer builder Danny Britt who led the tribute, "This is a crew effort. We want you to know that we really do have a high regard for these three. They don't work for the recognition they might get. They work for the desire to help others." Rollens has helped to build Habitat houses in Cleveland for 21 years, Haney for 20 years and Bolick has served as the organization's primary electrician on half of the local home builds.
Rollens summed up the feelings of his fellow volunteers by telling the crowd, "We've come a long way since House No. 1. It's been my privilege to be a small part of that ... to help build these first 100 homes. Even though I'm getting up in years, I hope I can help build the next 100. I'm looking forward to that."
- Tommy Wright, vice president of the Habitat board who represents Cleveland State, closed the dedication luncheon by asking the audience to look to the future and the Habitat vision. "As we move forward, let us ask, 'What is our dream?'" he stated.
- Special recognition was given to organizations making the dedication luncheon possible: Black Fox Farms, Olive Garden, Cooke's Food Store, Melinda Nicodemus Photography and Five Star Food Service.

FC is a whole LOT faster these days - it's actually usable now. That's excellent. But. I finally noticed last night that it looks like most of the levels I've made over the past few years have disappeared. The designs seem to be all there, but a whole mess of levels I made have fallen into a black hole. I can't remember the exact number that should be there, but certainly at least half of them (oldest) are gone. I also noticed that you can only go back about 500 pages on the all-users level page (50000 levels), and that's a tiny fraction of the total we've made over the years.
Anyone else notice this about their own levels? Perhaps some kind of caching algorithm has been applied..

Anjani, Blue Alert, and Beyond
Blue Alert, an album of songs performed by Anjani Thomas with lyrics by Leonard Cohen, was released in May, 2006, was well received by critics and captivated many fans, including myself.
Since then, many of us have been awaiting Anjani's next project.
That wait appears to be nearing an end. Anjani is currently working with Jerry Marotta on a CD to be released in "early 2012."
And, she has graciously take time off from that effort to answer a few questions for Heck Of A Guy about the forthcoming work.
Anjani Thomas's New Album Q&A
1. From your website and Facebook page, we know you are currently at work in Woodstock with producer Jerry Marotta recording tracks for a new CD release, your first since Blue Alert. On Facebook you wrote,
Hey Friends! The new website, anjani-music.com uploads next week! And since Facebook makes it so easy to stay in touch, I'll be more active on the boards here,with the latest news about the followup CD to Blue Alert that I'm recording. These songs–half of which I wrote with Leonard Cohen–are being produced by Jerry Marotta at his beautiful studio Dreamland, in Woodstock …
Can you offer those of us who are not in the music business an idea of what goes on in a "typical recording session" (if there is such a thing) and how decisions (e.g., when a song rendition is good enough, when adjustments to the arrangement or lyrics are needed, etc) get made?
In the past, I've hired musicians for an 8 hour session, and we'd head to the studio where I'd hand them 2 or 3 lead sheets (sheet music) and after learning the tunes, we'd record them. The problem was, even though I was working with phenomenal musicians, the songs weren't being developed in a way that can only happen with time and space and really exploring how to create parts for different instruments that coalesce and intertwine with the vocals, the rhythm, and the feel of the tune. Even the best session players often come to session thinking,
Chord Chart + Genre of Tune = Whatever I'd usually play in that vein.
Because the studio clock is ticking, there isn't a lot of thought put into really defining what's happening …. You just play the song down till it sounds pretty good and the chords are right; then you move on to the next song. But there are many ways to play one chord. And what happens if you want the drums to lay out and the guitar to only pick two notes on the offbeats and have the piano play the chord on the downbeat? See, there are a myriad of opportunities to consider in every bar.
But these sessions with Jerry are really unusual in that each song is a deep conversation—literally and musically–between us. We start by me singing and playing a tune, and then we'll search for a sound on the synthesizer that fits the song (and so far we've both agreed simultaneously on what that sound is). Then we'll record me singing and playing the keyboard in a way that implies the groove and bass part with my left hand (much of Blue Alert was recorded this way). After that, Jerry will put on a percussion or drum track, and I will replay my keyboard part again, but this time it's more spacious and integrated with the vocal—so I don't play much in the bass register or groove too much with my left hand – I try to create a part with enough space for all the tracking to come.
Jerry is also a great bassist, so he'll do that, and maybe put down more percussion and drums. I'll add piano or maybe some more keyboards…I have a penchant for playing guitar parts on my synth (like on Half The Perfect World), so I'll fill that in too. then we might sing some background vocals together, and we just keep evolving it like we're having an in depth conversation.
By the way, this is a really unique way of recording that Jerry has introduced me to. he's taught me that by only having the two of us in the studio, the energy is very concentrated. if we had a whole band in there at the same time, we couldn't keep track of what everyone is doing. That's where the train ran off the tracks in my previous records. I'd be so focused on what i was playing and singing, that I could hardly follow what everyone else was doing, other than calling out a wrong note or something really out of place. and when you have say, five talented musicians who all love to play, well, THEY PLAY!
Creating a song is such a delicate dance, and it can stray far away from what the artist has in mind. And in my case, I don't even know what I want to hear until I've heard it. It's shocking for me to admit that after all these records I've made, it turns out I've been masquerading as a producer. Because after working with Jerry, I get that my chops as a singer/songwriter/musician don't extend to the ability to hear all the disparate parts and make them a coherent whole. It's just mindboggling to me to watch what he does. And I'm delighted to relinquish the role to someone who has the vision for it. I can't say enough about his talent and innovative approach to recording. Jerry's the rarest breed of drummer…one who has no attachment to whether he plays or not, and that shows his desire to honor the singer and the song.
2. To what extent is the new album a followup to Blue Alert Vs a completely distinct work? For example, will the mood, lyrical themes, or musical style of the new album be similar to Blue Alert?
I always dreamed of re-doing Blue Alert with a band, and if that ever happened, I know Jerry would be the one to bring it about successfully. Short of that, I can say this record has little resemblance to Blue Alert, other than the fact that Leonard wrote some lyrics and I wrote the music. Jerry is all about delicious, creative grooves, and that's why I wanted to work with him. I love to dance, to move, and I wanted to make a record that reflected those impulses, because it's tough to put on a show with a long string of ballads, followed by a few ballads and an encore ballad! I've done it before with Blue Alert, and though it's a magical and special experience, it's a challenge to hold an audience's attention like that for a whole concert.
One thing I'm happy about is how every lyric has been perfectly driven by Jerry's grooves. Because of the drums and percussion, we touch upon some genres that Blue Alert couldn't venture into. And we've got more than enough tunes for this record so we're already thinking ahead to the next one.
3. One of the most intriguing comments you've made about the genesis of the new album was your comment on Facebook: "This may sound extreme, but since Blue Alert I've actually made 2 CDs. And they are good…but to my ear, not good enough to release. There were all kinds of pressure to put them out anyway but I just couldn't do it." How would you describe those two CDs and what was it about them that made you decide they were "not good enough to release." Have any of the songs from those two CDs been included – in their original or revised forms – in the track list of your new album.
(I explained this in the first answer.) So far, only Love In Between is in. I recently donated another one called A Thousand Tears to www.amazingcomp.ca, a project to benefit cancer research.
4. The most recent release date reference I found on Facebook is your note, "We plan to put it [the album] out soon after Leonard's next release, early 2012." Are you still anticipating the album will be released in early 2012? Can you narrow down the likely release date?
Not at this time.
5. Can you share the album's name?
We seem to be simultaneously developing two records. The songs are grouping themselves into distinct themes, and I'm not sure if we'll mix them together or keep them separate. One feels more ambient and the other is more pop song-centric. I'm leaning toward I Came to Love for the latter title.
6. Your website lists a Toronto concert in June 2012. Are you planning to tour in support of your new album? If so, where else might you be performing?
Jerry and I are really excited about touring possibilities. I expect that dates will grow organically, so if anybody has any connections to clubs or halls, please feel free to contact Robert Kory. We want to ask our fans to help us spread the word about the project, and all ideas to promote it will be considered.
7. How do you plan to celebrate once the work on the new CD is finished?
I've been celebrating my good fortune ever since I got to Woodstock. How lucky am I to work with the caliber of artists like Leonard Cohen and Jerry Marotta? And soon as we're done with this record we're going right back to work on a few other projects we have planned. That's my idea of celebrating.

Cummins earned double gold for a second straight year as she won the discus and the shot put. Her throw in the discus was 99 feet, 10 inches, and her throw in the shot put was 34 feet, 2 inches. Cummins' throw in the discus was 14 inches more than second place finisher Strider's Jacquelyn Brooks (33-00), and Cummins' throw in the discus was eight feet further than second place finisher Kally Kirk (91-10) of Winona Christian School. Cummins also won the shot put and the discus at the state meet last year.
Cummins said that competing in the weather proved to be a challenge.
"It was pretty difficult, because we've never had to compete in these elements," Cummins said. "This was the first time I've competed in the pouring rain. I feel really blessed that God gave me these talents. I had friends and family that came to support me in the pouring rain, and it was amazing."
What made her showing even more impressive was the fact her distances was the furthest of any classifications. In the shot put, Columbia's Dianna Hobgood won the AA division with a throw of 32 feet, 6.5 inches, while Heritage Academy's Mary Douglas Kerby won the AAA division with a throw of 32 feet, 3.75 inches.
In the discus, Oak Forest Academy's Caylon Brabham won the AA meet with a distance of 95 feet, 4 inches, while Madison Ridgeland Academy's Carlie Kellems won the AAA title with a distance of 94 feet, 5 inches.
Even with Bayou moving to AA next year, Cummins will still have a chance to dominate in the shot put and discus her senior year.

Good morning,
First ..thank you Carola for another start.
Second ..all is well with this side of the Atlantic. Over to you North Americans.
PS: Last game tonight Germany vs Argentina.
ahh Sharona, all is well on his side of the Atlantic.... roger, over and out...
Fanks carola..
We had a community Field Day yesterday, I worked fro 8 am to 5 pm. then we have 15 people over at 8 for fireworks, the fireworks were shot from about from about a football's field length from our dock, it went on for about half an hour, what a view, the skies were clear, and the moon was SUPER beautiful. we have professionals do th fireworks...
time for an easy day today..
Good morning ladies,
It looks like a clear and hot day today. All is well here. It will be a lazy day for me, church than breakfast out.
Carol I have read Karin Slaughter's books too and found them entertaining. How is that pushy little cat of yours doing? Is she making you go to bed when she does?
Sharon glad all is well in our area.
DIva N what is field day? Did you have the fireworks behind your house by your dock? Take it easy today.
Have a good one,
Karen, Field Day, is an annual event that we have in our Community, and it is usually the weekend of 4th of July, This is a day , when all our our community (all 10 thousand) (but not all come), can come together and enjoy the day together, we have food rides, water slides, chances, games, etc. I worked at the Scholarship booth, we made cookies, cupcakes, brownies, etc, to raise money for the scholarship committee.
The day ends with fireworks, professional ones, as I said, we usually have it the 4th of July weekend, but their price was too high for that day $9 thousand more, so we have opted to have it the following weekend, for $9 thou cheaper. The fireworks are set off at our dam area, which is about a football field away. they were right over our heads. magnificent ...it lasted about 25-35 minutes beautiful.
So glad all is well with all.
The shirts got there a little late but they can wear them to watch todays final game. We have two smiley great grandsons..Evan and Aiden.
Darling picture of two healthy, happy little boys. Just glad they could get them to sit still like that. Congrats!!
Thanks Carol for starting us up. Couldn't figure out what was going on as I've lost all track of days without really stopping to think about it!
Those boys are darling Sharon! Like Doris I'm surprised they could get them to sit still and smile all at the same time! After riding in the car all day with 2 kids I know all about not sitting still and talking all the time. LOL!
Nat your field day sounds wonderful! Does your community have families too for kids? Who are the scholarships for? Bet you are tired after all of that. Does Paul participate? I can imagine how beautiful the fireworks were. They do the same thing over our lake and we usually go to friends to see them. Like you they are done by professionals and in our case you can see the barge in the lake that they shoot them off from and they are right overhead like yours and last the same amount of time. Smart to do it a week late to save that much money. Best to put that money toward the scholarships or something.
Karen how did the day go with the foot and going to church and out to eat? Was hot and muggy every where we stopped today! Ran into some rain but not too bad.
We drove today about 10 hours so tomorrow will be a shorter day. Gavin said he thought that was a good idea! LOL! But.. riding that long and all the talking and singing was getting on DH's nerves there for awhile so they finally quieted down after some threats and he was able to take a nap. Got settled into a hotel room and then out to a steak house to eat cause Elaina said "can we eat some healthy food" tonight! LOL! Was real good and DH & I had a drink each and she wanted to know how we were going to get back the 3 miles to the hotel since both of us had been drinking. Is she learning all the "rules" or not? Of course this is the time she asked the question I was told to wait for and DH got frustrated at me cause my answer was too long and I should just say it isn't true! We will talk again later now that she brought it up. The question has to do with the truth of all the men in the family dying at the age of 62! DS has it wrong, it was 64 and it wasn't just the men, my grandmother died at that age too. She needs an explanation not just it isn't true. She thinks about things too much. What I've learned through all this is that DH and I still parent differently and he didn't mellow out on some things I thought he might have. LOL!
Did anyone get hit with the storms they were talking about everyone getting and heading east?
Well best get some sleep as I'm sure DH will be up early and want to hit the road.
Be back tomorrow night. Hope everyone has a wonderful and safe day tomorrow.
I watched the whole game and it was long. It made me happy to see a youngster come off the bench and make the goal. He was assisted by another off the bench player. It isn't always the super stars that come thru.
Laureen, you really take on a lot when you vacation. Methinks you will need a rest.
Sorry you had a painful night, Carola. Are you on meds.
Rags... all the best today.
Have a good one or two.
Watched the whole game too.. wanted a home country to win.... altho Brazil lost, Argentina is still a "home" country.... It was a good game.. I am a converted soccer fan.
Did I miss out on something? Laureen why are you driving 10 hours, I thought you just came home from a trip? shesshh.....Don't know what you mean by......have families too with kids? our community is like a small city, we have 50 miles of roads, and 10 thousand people living here, and many do not participate,
Hi again,
I am surprised that you mention the boys sitting quietly. My kids were quiet kids and I suspect these boys are as well. Mom and Dad are young and quiet themselves. No yelling and they play and give those youngsters plenty of attention. My grandson and his wife are the parents who are with or closely watching their kids at family and other functions. The younger of the two boys was recently diagnosed as autistic. I don't know the level. They treat him as Aiden and use the "autism" word for medical purposes. The poor mother has commented about friends who have ditched her and her family when they learned that Aiden was diagnosed. I wish I could give her a physical hug.
beautiful boys Sharona. When I worked with special Education, there was always a hesitancy to put a label on the children, especially with stupid people like these "so called friends". these ignorant people treat the children like a plague, but they are very loving children....I used to give my moms extra hugs.and always thought these children were extra lucky to be with parents who were specially chosen for them, who love them,who care for them.
Oh, my blood pressure went up when I read that, Sharon. Autism is such a wide spectrum. Those people are just ignorant if they treat somebody that way. Sound like wonderful parents - wish there were more of them!
Laureen, glad she asked the question so you can answer it in the right way. Good grief, medicine has changed lots since those days. 72 was the bad age for my parents and one of my inlaws - strange how those things happen.
Have a great day all.
Well, things are getting back to normal here. I was in Okla for 2 1/2 weeks at my DDs and the time just flew by. Then I brought my DGD back with me for a week. Yesterday was a slow day but I think we are going to a new water park today so that will liven things up a bit. Drove home on Sat. and I was exhausted. She is a great traveler and doesn't talk much in the car - mostly slept which was fine. Would have been even better if the cat had not cried for 5 of the 8 1/2 hours. Dog slept as usual.
We got the storms last night which was good as I had planned on watering today. Good news is that it has really cooled down for the week.
My DGD got her first pair of glasses the day before we left. She is so cute taking them on and off seeing the difference. All she could say when she first put them on was how cool it was that everything was so crisp. Great choice of words I thought.
Do something fun today everyone and enjoy those kids, Laureen. When do you go back home?
I did have a lazy day. I took the gumbo out of the freezer and fixed rice. I also took country style ribs out of the freezer and put them seasoned in the oven half frozen. They came out fine. We have enough for leftovers today. I will fix boiled corn on cob, and baked potatoes.
I go for PT orientation this week and can't wait to find out what will be done to my foot and leg. I have some questions to ask too. I am so ready for this!!
Diva N your Field Day is a wonderful way to get the community together and have fun. Who pays for all the games and food? We have a Liberty Festival on the Memorial Day weekend. It is held two days. A church in Raleigh,IL host this event with other churches helping out. Everything is free! The churches and donations from businesses pay for it all. There are games, face painting, bouncing houses, cotton candy, funnel cakes, donuts, snow cones, sodas, hot dogs, hamburgers, bbq, tacos in a bag, pork chops, water, candy blown out of a cannon every hour, etc. I see the rich with the poor in our community there. There is also a group from Louisiana that comes every year and fix jambalaya or red beans and rice. It ends with a fireworks display on the last day, It is done by pros too.
Sharon you are so talented! Those are wonderful shirts! The boys are as cute as buttons! I think that their friend who was afraid of autistic boy thought it was catching. She was a very ignorant person and I wouldn't want her around my children! Some people just don't use their heads. These kids are not from outer space! They are human beings with feelings and deserve to be loved and played with. I am so glad that their parents treat them no different!\
Laureen I have the same problem with my DH having a short fuse while driving. He loses it when DDG#2 laughs too loud and she is loud or they hit the back of his chair. He can be raw with them. I have to be the equalizer and tell me that it irritates Paw Paw when they laugh too loud or hit the back of his chair while he drives. They stop for a little but forget. They are kids and are having fun! The dvd player helps a lot to entertain them for and hour or two and they have their phones. Mine are older so they don't play the car games like they use too. I have Bingo cards that have the slide chips so that they can see a red car and slide the cover over it. The one who has four in a row or diagonal wins. Those sure did come in handy before tv. You will need a vacation after this vacation. My foot has been really swollen. I can barely walk on it but I do. I don't know if it is helping or not walking on it. It is raining today.
Diva D it makes me mad to hear of ignorant people like that too!
Sharon, I love the pic of the boys!
I don't know why anyone would treat the children different because they were autistic. From my observations when my family was here, autistic children and their families need all the support they can get…not less! There are so many variables to deal with. I noticed that Evan had regressed on some things, and yet made huge strides in others. It has been difficult for him to travel and not have his things around him. They are fully moved in and unpacked now, thank goodness and it has made a big difference for him.
Mandy couldn't get services for Evan until a doc appt. She is all set up and for the first time Evan will receive ABA treatment, another tool in the tool box to help them all deal with it. It is a family thing for sure. In the middle of the night, the crying keeps everyone up, or the balking at going into the glass doors that frighten him when entering a building, or trying to get him on an elevator. IT is endless. But they do it with love and understanding, so people just need to put themselves into their situations and see how they could deal with it. SMH!
We had G for a half day, not sure what the next of my afternoon holds. I do have a new book awaiting me at the library. John Sanford!
Evening. People are so ignorant when they make judgments on kids with no knowledge. I remember when DS developed a MRSA abscess from the bouncy bounce and the neighbors would no longer babysit the kids so my DDIL had to quit her job. The ignorance hurts but should give us the chance to educate others if they are willing to be educated.
How are you feeling Sharon?
Doris why am I not surprised you've been traveling. Will be so nice to be able to spend time with your granddaughter! I'm loving it and am so glad I did this. Kids really haven't changed much over the years! LOL!
Karen, I hope they find something to help the swelling and the pain. Starting with the pain first. Glad to know my DH isn't the only impatient one in a car. Today when his back was hurting was worse than usual. Thank goodness they had their DSs and my tablet to play with. I think they did well considering they had another 8 hour day in the car. Tonight has been rough cause we were trying to find a hotel that wasn't going to cost an arm and a leg and had a pool and lazy river. So he had me go in to see about a room and I took one. Well this is an old hotel and it does look old so he was again he was bent out of shape. Can't seem to win today. Did stop and have lunch with DS#2 as we drove through Spartanburg. Saw the BIL today also, they offered for us to stay at their place but kids would have to sleep on the couch, have no pool to play in, and DH wouldn't be able to watch TV to fall asleep.
I lied when I said I didn't win today. God loves me and takes care of me!!!! My phone rang and it was the therapy manager from work. I was tempted to let it go to voice mail cause we were looking for a hotel, but DH said to answer it. She apologized for calling but had questions because CHAP walked in at 8:30 this morning to do a survey!!! This is very very big! I have been dreading this because I know we haven't fixed everything. We just had a mock one from corporate and because it's the same as it was 2 years ago, it was my fault. So I am certain this isn't going to go real well. Hopefully it will better than the mock survey but I have doubts. I am so glad I'm out of state so they can't try to encourage me to go in! Wonder if I'll have a job when I get back since we haven't done all we were suppose to do with the mock survey to correct things? Don't really care either. I'm just so glad I don't have to go through the stress of it. I do hope they are gone by next Monday like they should be when I go back.
Tomorrow will be beach and pool day probably. Would have let them swim tonight but left the swim bags in the car across the street.
Hope you all have a great day tomorrow. Hope Rags did okay today also. Will head to the other side to see if there's any news. Be back at some point tomorrow.
See Nat - Even Carol says you have a big mouth. Shezeezee.
Seriously Carol, good article. Just don't go out hiking after dark.
We had a thunder shower last night. Whoopie. It is supposed to be cooler today. I am liking this July weather. I hope we don't get tropical temperatures in August.
You gals are doing fine things with your grandchildren. Keep writing about your activities. I am enjoying reading about you and them. Even the husband stuff... Andy is so like them. He even had issues with his daughter in laws. I think he was so used to his schedule and "his" ways.
I am doing pretty good and sporting a yellow/greenish face.
Rags is on my mind.
Forgot to thank you Carola for that article. it was a great article. She was on some show, so I knew a little about what she went thru. thanks.
I go to orientation at PT today. I will ask questions. One will be if they touch my foot will I be in serious pain when the sympathetic block wears off? I just don't want to be in pain.
Carol I wish keeping my foot up would lessen the swelling and pain. It doesn't.
Dee it takes a strong family to handle an autistic child. Thank God your family have the strength to handle all the situations. I hope that Evan get all the help he needs.
Laureen I am so afraid that the PT after the block wears off will cause my foot to swell more and more pain too. Glad the kids had the tablets to keep them busy. I hope you have a job when you get back from your vacation. Enjoy yourself at the beach and hopefully put the job out of your mind.
Sharon glad to hear that your face is almost the right color!
Karen, have you already had the first block? Can you get them indefinitely as they wear off? Hope they last a long time!
Glad you had a good sleep Carol. Sure makes a difference to get your rest.
Laureen, you were certainly lucky not to be at work this week! You definitely don't need the stress of CHAP's visit! Finding the best hotel without spending too much is always a problem. DH usually has it all figured out about where we will stop and picked a hotel on the internet. We are finally getting some rain, just hope we get enough to help. Weather has turned cooler for the next several days. Hope the rain doesn't head to SC!
Dee, glad Mandy is getting all settled and found doctors. She certainly has her hands full! Thinking he isn't school age yet, will she be able to get him into some type of pre-school geared to autistic children?
Doris, do you put a cover over the cat carrier? Sometimes it helps to put them into darkness. We only have to take our cats to the vet which is about 10 miles but three will yell all the way there and back. You should check on a sedative next trip (for the cat).
Sharon, doesn't it seem strange the number of children diagnosed as autistic now? Makes one wonder what is causing the increase. Some think it is caused by the shots given young children and refuse to get them for their kids and then there are outbreaks of diseases that were no longer heard of.
What do you guys think of the illegal children being shipped into USA. I saw one article that said parents were paid money for their children and then they were sent here. I don't catch how the people paying the money would make money on that deal? The children are full of diseases and vermin.
Nat, I didn't realize you lived in such a large community. Do you live close to the "down town" area or are you more rural?
Well, time to get our salad made for lunch. We are enjoying all the veggies from our garden. The rain will extend them a bit longer. We are seeing about 10 hummers at the feeders right now. Rainy weather really brings them to the feeders!
Once you enter the gates of our community, we are very rural... we don't have street lights, so at night, it is pitch dark.
I'll keep you company, Carola.
Carola, didn't anyone ever tell you not to twist your foot, or to drop a bottle of olive oil on it? shesshh I will come and keep you company too.
Just came back from doc visit for Paul foot... he has problems with another toe...double oy veh....
Marlene how ya doing?
Boy, I iz tired. We went to Barnes & Noble so DGD could spend one of her gift cards from Passover (bet that makes sense to you, Carol - seems she found the ???). Well, she plops down on the floor and reads - finally picked out 3. Then we went to Giant City State Park which is where I swore last time I would never go to again. Went on an easy trail, went to eat, and then went on the "nature trail". Sounds easy, right. Nope, it was up and down and up and down and up and down for a mile. Karen, we were back where the formation of Giant City itself was which is really big boulders that look like a town. Midway through I questioned if I would finish but what choice did I have??? Sat on lots of rocks and logs. DGD loved it but even she was tired.
Tonight I'm resting!! My feet will be up with Karens and Carols and whoever else claimed that spot.
Karen, I am sure every RSD is different... listen to what your doctor tells you, and follow his instructions... sometimes too much information is bad.
I went to PT orientation yesterday and the lady has worked with a woman with RSD in her arm. She set her goals as to getting me nearly pain free, get rid of my swelling and have me walking with my brace again. I like those goals! She went over some of the therapy that I will be getting. I told her I was game for anything that will help my leg and foot. She will do the therapy after I have the sympathetic block each time. I will also have things for me to do at home. She doesn't think I will have any pain or swelling after the block wears off after 8 hrs. I will be tricking my brain that there should not be pain or swelling in my foot or leg. I have faith in my therapist!
Virginia I just went for orientation for PT. I did not get any PT since I haven't my sympathetic block. Therapist will only do PT after block. I am so ready to trick my brain. I miss not having a garden but our friends are good about giving us some of their surplus veggies. My DH loves fresh garden tomatoes. Enjoy!
Diva N I am in a rural area too. We have a light by our pole barn. Other than that, we have pitch black nights. Sorry about your toe. I hope the big toe gets better. My foot hurts in the afternoons and nights. Poor Paul!
Carol I feel for you! I felt your pain and we can all sit together with our feet up. even though it doesn't help my foot at all. Stay off the foot until it gets better.
Diva D you have more energy than me to go up and down those hills around Giant City Park!! I love the family style chicken dinners. I bet you both slept well last night.
Rags I will let you know what tricks she uses to get my brain to stop the pain and swelling. I really think she will help my foot and leg so that I don't have to wear that transmitter to block the pain. I take the wheel chair when I have lots of walking. She gave me a special sock to wear that is suppose to help stop the pain. I will be wearing it today. I just hope that the foot and leg doesn't act up.
Sharon you can come sit with us too!
Diva N my therapist was happy to hear that I knew and researched RSD. She went over it with me and told me things that I didn't know and some I knew. I will follow her therapy to the letter!
Good for you, Karen. I have faith that you will be able to trick your body into doing what is best. Where do you have to go for therapy?
Happy Birthday mom.
Karen, listen to the docs and therapists.

Telecourses will no longer be offered after fall 2014
Telecourses are designed to allow students to earn credit toward their degree using the education access channels on San Francisco Cable's Channels 27 and 75, EATV.
Telecourse broadcasts are also available outside San Francisco via AT&T U-Verse. Please check your local channel listings for EATV1 (ch. 27) and EATV2 (ch.75).
Telecourses are college classes you can take at home and receive college credit. Instead of coming to a CCSF campus two or three times a week, you watch your lessons at home on television or you stream the class on your personal computer. Because you are watching on a television you can, depending on the equipment you have, record the lessons and watch them at your convenience. Watching streaming content means you can also review the lessons as often as you need to. This truly makes telecourses much more flexible than face-to-face courses.
You will not attend daily or weekly classes. Instead, you are required to meet with your instructor three times during the semester for an orientation, a midterm exam and a final exam. The rest of the time you will study on your own. Some courses occasionally require additional meetings (field trips) off campus. Some instructors offer optional review sessions. Instructors send newsletters and students are required to talk with the instructor via phone conversations throughout the semester. The viewing schedule and meeting schedule are located on the links to the left.
As a telecourse student you'll work more independently than is typical for a face-to-face class. This also means that you are much more responsible for your own success by structuring your time, meeting deadlines and completing assignments for your telecourse.
All telecourses give you college credit and count towards an AA degree conferred by City College of San Francisco. In addition, many of these classes are transferable to a four-year college or university.
All telecourse lessons can be viewed on Cable channels 27 and 75 in San Francisco. Cable channels 27 and 75 are the Educational Access Cable Channels for San Francisco and are included in your basic service. The lessons are also kept at the Media Center at City College, the Phelan campus, for the convenience of students who may miss a television showing. Students who do not subscribe to cable can purchase digitally streamed lessons for the semester from IRIS education.

The ceremonial red robes have been tailored to perfection, his coronation a mere formality. In little more than a week David Moyes will ascend to the gilded throne of Old Trafford, the chosen-one advocated with a trademark authority by no less a figure than the departing Emperor himself, Sir Alex Ferguson.
But what are the challenges facing the incoming manager? After all, he is not just a routine replacement for an outgoing boss. He has been entrusted with the unenviable task of producing the mouth-watering sequel to the Sir Alex Ferguson era! Sir Alex, the most successful club manager in English football history, the heart and soul of the grandest sporting institution in England and one of the biggest in the World of sport! Sir Alex, the glue that has united the Red Devils for more than a quarter of a century since his appointment way back in November 1986! November 1986?!? To put that into context, Nelson Mandela was still incarcerated, European countries still held their dignity and identity with their own currencies, Frankie was relaxing with cassette tapes and vinyls the only choice for the music aficionado, Molly Ringwald had assured herself a seemingly permanent place as Hollywood's sweetheart, Liverpool were still winning league titles and Scotland qualified for FIFA World Cups! And as anyone who tolerated Terminator 3 will testify, not all sequels hit the spot….
And it's fair to say Sir Alex didn't fare too badly on the field of play either. Man Utd had been alerted to his potential through his accomplishments at unfancied Aberdeen in Scotland; Sir Alex achieving what many thought impossible by smashing the iron-grip monopoly of the Old Firm – Celtic and Rangers – and winning no fewer than three Scottish League titles, four Scottish Cups and outwitting Real Madrid to win the European Super Cup! Again, for the purpose of context, nobody has broken the Celtic/Rangers stranglehold on the Scottish League since Sir Alex's Aberdeen back in 1985 and only Celtic have reached a European Final since Aberdeen's remarkable victory?!? As a Liverpool fan myself I'm choking back the bile as I reflect on his achievements down the East Lancs Road but, for the very last time on this blog, it is worth just reminding ourselves and trying to comprehend the sheer level of unparalleled and virtually continuous success inspired and demanded by Sir Alex…
13 English Premier League titles! 5 FA Cups! 4 League Cups! 2 European Champions Leagues! 1 European Super Cup! 1 World Club Championship! 1 European Cup Winners Cup and a gazillion English Charity/Community Shields!
So it's fair to say David Moyes has something of a job on his hands…and it will be interesting to see how he goes about stamping his own identity, his own personality and his own authority on Man Utd.
1. Rejuvenate the playing squad….
Despite Sir Alex's rose-tinted protestations to the contrary there is little doubt that this incarnation of Man Utd is probably among the weakest of their recent title-winning sides. Yes they did secure a record 20th league title, but the general quality and competition within the EPL is arguably at its lowest since its all-singing and all-dancing inception back in 1992. The traditional EPL signatures of a high work-rate, a ferocious tempo and the increasing inconsistencies of the top clubs harbouring a false sense of competitiveness throughout the league are all present and correct….but it has fallen short when it comes to genuine quality. The woeful performances of the English clubs in the European Champions League – including the EPL Champions being deposed in the Group Stage for the second successive season – provide conclusive, if unpalatable evidence to support that view.
That is not to say Man Utd are diabolical, nor that they need to instantly recruit eleven players this summer. But there are obvious positions of weakness within their starting-XI, notably at left-back and in central midfield, and Moyes needs to act quickly and decisively to remedy that. One of the myths surrounding Sir Alex is that he relied on youth development rather than excessive transfer fees – a myth largely spawned from the ludicrously talented FA Youth Cup-winning side featuring David Beckham, Nicky Butt, Gary Neville, Phil Neville and Paul Scholes – but he would be the first to admit that Utd backed him heavily in the transfer market. Again, to try to bring some context to the comparison, the summer of 1989 saw Sir Alex enjoy perhaps the most extraordinary spending blitz in British football history….recruiting several top players for a combined fee ranging from £10M-£15M. A paltry figure by today's standards but, when you then consider the then-transfer record fee between English clubs (foreign players were something of a rarity back then) was the £2M paid by Spurs for Paul Gascoigne, it is quite some outlay! In fact Sir Alex smashed the record during that spree by signing centre-back Gary Pallister for a staggering £2.3M….with the current record standing at the £50M paid by Chelsea for Fernando Torres, Sir Alex's £10M-£15M splurge – five-times plus the then-record fee – was a rather substantial war-chest to say the least.
With the rise of Chelsea and Man City in England and the lavish budgets of PSG and AS Monaco – not to mention Real Madrid and the supposed £250M available to Pep Guardiola at FC Bayern – that level of transfer dominance will simply not be available to David Moyes. But, as Robin van Persie demonstrated last summer, money isn't necessarily the only consideration for a player and the prestige, the ambition and the stability associated with Man Utd will become a valuable bargaining tool for Moyes in his recruitment quest. Noble sentiment though it is, the sight of Ryan Giggs and, to a lesser extent, Paul Scholes still featuring prominently for Utd suggests to me that the relative dearth of quality within the Man Utd youth ranks shows no sign of abating – recent graduates Tom Cleverley and Danny Welbeck are pale imitations of their illustrious predecessors – so Moyes' first venture into the transfer market will be a key factor in determining his initial impact!
I would expect Moyes to invite offers for a stagnant Nani, a desperately poor Anderson and an irreversibly declining Patrice Evra – the best left-back in England 3yrs ago – to fund a probable raid on his former club for the outstanding Leighton Baines and perhaps Marouane Fellaini. The key decision though centres around Wayne Rooney. Rooney has been out-of-sorts this season, with Sir Alex publicly questioning his fitness, his lifestyle, his desire and his application. Can Moyes' arrival reinvigorate Rooney – despite Moyes' successfully suing Rooney for libel shortly after the teenage prodigy's protracted departure for Old Trafford – or will he conclude, as many observers suggest, that his peak has already passed and it is better to cleanse the club of his sulky, petulant and selfish attitude? My view; if Moyes wants to make a statement of intent then he will try to sell Rooney. The Old Trafford fans have grown tired of his antics – audibly booing Rooney when he collected his EPL medal last weekend – but the problem may well be finding a buyer for his £20M fee and absurd £200,000+ per week salary demands. In my opinion Rooney has neither the personal qualities and aptitude nor the professional skills and discipline to perform overseas….so can Moyes persuade the only viable exit routes – Man City or Chelsea – to sanction a heavy outlay on such a risky deal? One of Sir Alex's greatest qualities in his search for perfection was his ruthless attitude towards under-performing players and those with poor attitudes that could prove detrimental towards the team. Paul McGrath, Paul Ince, David Beckham and Roy Keane can all give lucid testaments of their speedy demise at the hands of Sir Alex, despite some still having much to offer on the field of play. David Moyes needs to adopt that same level of brutal and decisive action!
Don't be surprised to see Man Utd announce Moyes' arrival with a blockbuster signing, certainly if they succeed in getting rid of Rooney. Spurs' likely failure to qualify for the European Champions League could see Utd try to tempt Gareth Bale to Old Trafford, whilst I think they could do worse than save Cesc Fabregas from his Barcelona nightmare. Both would be stellar additions to the squad and would significantly strengthen the central midfield area!
2. Assume the Sir Alex off-field mantle….
It is generally accepted that Sir Alex's touchline presence is worth 10pts-15pts per season for Man Utd. From the berating and intimidation of match officials to the infamous 'Fergie-time' when Utd need a crucial goal, Sir Alex was an imposing figure for all concerned on match-days. His media briefings sent a cold shudder down the spine of many journalists, the trembling voice of a nervous post-match TV interviewer as much a part of the match experience as the game itself while his legendary mind-games famously saw then-Newcastle manager Kevin Keegan implode on national TV, descending into a near-gibbering wreck in one of the EPL's most enduring memories. Though cut from the same Glaswegian granite as Sir Alex, David Moyes does not yet possess that sheer level of fear and intimidation. Without the spectre of Sir Alex hovering with intent on the touchline, might a match official be more relaxed in judging a foul, a penalty or the dreaded injury-time? I'm not saying these professional officials would necessarily seek some form of revenge or pay-back for the numerous diatribes unleashed by Sir Alex, but I await the first contentious incident at Old Trafford next season with anticipation.
But it would be churlish to suggest that Sir Alex's success was based entirely on his intimidation of match officials or other off-field factors. Every other team in the EPL can point to moments where they have benefited from dubious officiating, every other team have been afforded the luxury of an extended period of injury-time, but not every other team have the mentality and desire to take advantage of such situations. His tactical acumen and motivational genius needs no further elaboration, but Sir Alex specifically cultivated a burning will-to-win, a never-say-die attitude among his players and staff, a collective team ethic, a winning mentality and an unshakable self-belief that inspired Man Utd to stage so many of their famous last-minute comebacks, perhaps most famously in the European Champions League daylight robbery of their treble-season in 1999.
Sir Alex's continued presence at Old Trafford will surely provide Moyes with a wealth of invaluable information regarding all aspects of life at Old Trafford. His unrivalled knowledge of the club will help Moyes as he settles into his new role, but there also needs to be clearly defined parameters to avoid the instability following Sir Matt Busby's retirement and subsequent move 'upstairs' within the club. It is customary for an incoming manager to bring with him a trusted backroom team of coaches and support staff and I see no reason why Moyes would not follow suit. But, at the same time, Man Utd clearly have a recipe for success and I think it would be foolish of Moyes to casually dismiss the merits of the existing staff at Old Trafford. While I cannot see what Mike Phelan brings to the table, Rene Meulensteen has a well-deserved reputation as an outstanding coach and Eric Steele boasts an impressive record as a goalkeeping coach. Crucially though, both have a long-standing relationship with Man Utd and could ease Moyes' transition period. A shrewd appointment, perhaps outgoing Everton captain and former Utd player Phil Neville may also be worth consideration.
3. Moyes' own character….
Moyes' longevity at Everton over 11yrs is a remarkable testament to both manager and club; only Arsene Wenger's 16yr reign at Arsenal trumps Moyes' Goodison tenure and, for perspective, the next longest managerial spell in the EPL is Tony Pulis' 7yr stint at Stoke City! Moyes has consistently over-achieved at Everton on a shoestring budget, consistently challenging for European qualification in the EPL and, although he has yet to secure a trophy, he has performed remarkable feats for the Blues. But Manchester United is a different proposition altogether! Success isn't negotiable at Old Trafford, it is expected! A generation of Man Utd fans have never known a period of transition at their club, they've never known life without Sir Alex. Thirteen EPL trophies in just 22yrs speaks volumes for the consistent high level of performance enjoyed by the Old Trafford faithful! Second-place is just about acceptable – as a one-off – but anything below that would be considered an absolute catastrophe for the spoilt Man Utd fans! Whereas nobly tickling the underbelly of European qualification was almost worthy of an open-top bus parade at Everton, a similar scenario at Old Trafford would provoke unprecedented scenes of mass-mourning! Moyes has revelled in his role as the plucky underdog – certainly in usurping his city rivals Liverpool over recent seasons – but now he is the biggest fish in the pond! His record in away fixtures against Man Utd, Man City, Chelsea and Liverpool reads, played 46, won 0; that inferiority complex would be absolutely unacceptable at Old Trafford. It is no longer acceptable to settle for a draw – even less so to set up a team tactically and mentally to "not lose" rather than "to win" – and, while he unquestionably has greater resources and a better playing squad to work with, it will be interesting to see how he adjusts his own mentality to satisfy the colossal demands of managing Man Utd!
As a footnote, I doubt David Moyes would've scripted his move to Man Utd any differently to how it seems to be developing. Formidable task though it undoubtedly is, he could not have wished for a more generous honeymoon gift than to see the traditional rivals to Man Utd's crown wilfully scuttle their ships and duly shatter any shred of stability within their own clubs. Man City have already parted company with the elegantly coiffured Roberto Mancini for the heinous crime of finishing as runner-up in both the EPL and the FA Cup, Chelsea will jettison Rafael Benitez for his criminal underachievement of European Champions League qualification and a Europa League Final appearance and Everton of course face the challenging task of replacing Moyes. While there is no open speculation surrounding either Arsenal or Spurs there have been tentative rumours suggesting an interest from PSG in Arsene Wenger and a possible switch to the Bernabeu for Andre Villas Boas. So, while perhaps unlikely, it is conceivable that David Moyes could begin his Old Trafford career with all five of his fellow top-six clubs also starting afresh?!?
I'm a big fan of David Moyes and I wish him well…..but not THAT well of course….

Irrelevant note: apparently I can type something like jnirr into my phone and it'll figure out that I mean knitting. Do I really talk about it that much? I found that out when sending this picture to myself.
I've been up all night. My life has been full of more complicated and upsetting problems that usual, of the sort that I don't and won't talk about on the Internet in any form, which have basically put me out of commission for anything other than sleeping all day and maybe watching the occasional movie in between crying or blocking everything out. This has been going on for the entirety of my "Spring Break" (and let's not even mention the week before, in which I squeaked by during my last week of my rotation on nothing more than determination to not fail out and so much sleep deprivation that nothing seemed real) and finally I just couldn't even sleep at all this past night and did incredibly useful things instead, like playing with Facebook, watching 20-minute documentaries about 30-second commercials, and starting to work through the massive YouTube archive of The Ellen Degeneres Show clips.
Yeah, well. At least I got some knitting done. Lately I've been carrying my knitting bag around with me like a security blanket, not even taking out the knitting but just…having it there. Just in case I feel up to it. Tonight was the first time I actually knitted for I-don't-kn0w-how-long, though. Oh, there is a small messy pile of calendar blocks on the other side table. I shall do some iPhone photo magic:
So, I did make some progress with those little guys. I keep meaning to make a post about them showing them all off, but, you know, stuff happened.
So it's almost 10 AM now. (I just noticed that this blog's time is an hour early. Wish I knew how to fix that setting.) I should probably just try to stay up through the day, have caffeine or whatever and try to at least make it to the afternoon and take a nap at most. I hope I do that. I might just sleep all day again.

APFamily members walk with Ryan Jensen (second from left) and Eric Jensen (far right) following a court appearance in Denver's Federal Court on Oct. 22, 2013.(UPDATED COVERAGE Jan. 31) As two Colorado cantaloupe growers begin probation for a deadly 2011 listeria outbreak, federal officials say they will move forward with new food safety rules and use their full power to enforce them.
Eric and Ryan Jensen, owners of Jensen Farms, Granada Colo., were the first growers to face this kind of criminal foodborne pathogen case. They each pleaded guilty in 2013 to six federal misdemeanors of introducing adulterated food into the supply chain.
A federal magistrate in Denver sentenced them Jan. 28 to each serve six months home detention and five years probation.
Other growers could face similar situations, based on a comment from Spencer Morrison, the Food and Drug Administration's acting special agent in charge of the agency's criminal investigation. Spencer assisted the U.S. Justice Department with its case against the Jensens.
The FDA will continue to use its powers to ensure food safety regulations and laws are followed, Morrison said in a statement issued by the U.S. Attorney's Denver office after the Jensens' sentencing.
The agency continues to stress prevention as its weapon of choice, however.
"At FDA our goal is to continue to move forward on the ... rules, so that we can work with farmers and industry to prevent tragic outbreaks like this from happening in the first place," said Doug Karas, public affairs specialist with FDA's Coordinated Outbreak Response and Evaluation Network.
In addition to their home detention and probation, the Jensens must each pay $150,000 in restitution to the victims of the listeria outbreak — $25,000 for each of the six counts. They argued against paying restitution because they may be found liable for damages in civil cases filed by victims.
The 2011 outbreak killed as many as 40 people and sickened almost 150 others in 28 states, according to the assistant U.S. Attorney Jaime Pena, who prosecuted the case.
The Jensens could have each faced up to six years in prison and each been fined $1.5 million.
"No fine is imposed because the defendants have no ability to pay a fine," according to the sentencing order from Magistrate Judge Michael E. Hegarty.
As a special condition, Ryan Jensen agreed to attend a substance abuse program and take drug tests. The judge waived drug testing for Eric Jensen because the presentence report "indicates a low risk of future substance abuse" for him. Both brothers agreed to provide a DNA sample. The brothers also must complete 100 hours of community service.

Most popular cereal no big surprise
by stevenew
posted Jun 24 2011 1:26PM
What is the most popular cereal brand in American grocery stores? OK, let me give you some hints: It's been General Mills' top name since 1951, 10 years after it was introduced and if you're a parent, you've vacuumed it from between the seats of the minivan and from under the highchair by the pound. Got it yet? The answer is…
I mention it today because the cereal is 70 years old today. So for their B'day they get a free plug.

Dear Presidents, Masters, Instructors,
On behalf of myself and Polish Taekwon-Do Association I would like to invite you to the 19th Central Summer Taekwon-Do Camp to be held from 4th to 13th July 2014 in Biala Podlaska, Poland.
It is one of the biggest Taekwon-Do camps in Europe with a many years' tradtion.
Every year many over 200 competitors from several dozen countries from all over the word came to practice Taekwon-Do in Poland. Except for Taekwon-do trainings on the highest level, the camp offers a lot of other attractions and it is comparatively cheap.
In attachment you will find the application and general information.
It will be a great opportunity to exchange the experience and to prepare for the World Cup 2014 in Jamaica and the European Cup 2014 in Budapest, Hungary.
More information about the camp you will find under the link http://www.itfeurope.org/NL2014-02-26.html
Should you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact our office.
Yours sincereley,
Master Tadeusz Loboda
