Travels with Churchill: A Granddaughter Recalls Fond Memories
Celia Sandys recounts trips with her grandfather to visit some of the places he loved most.
By Celia Sandys
THE DAILY MAIL, 2 September 2012—My grandfather, Winston Churchill, was an enthusiastic and adventurous traveller throughout his life. He loved Chartwell, his home in Kent, but sometimes needed to get away.
I was lucky enough to travel with him several times between 1959 and 1963. By then he was in his 80s and, although still very much in the public eye, was able to devote more time to writing and his lifelong passion, painting.
He was drawn time and time again to the beauty, light and warmth of the Mediterranean. He always liked having a member of his family with him and, at that time, I was an available grandchild of an appropriate age to accompany him. My first journey with him was the most memorable holiday I have ever had.
With my grandparents and my mother - and an entourage that included Maria Callas and her husband - I spent four weeks sailing in the Mediterranean as a guest of Aristotle Onassis on his fabulous yacht, Christina.
We sailed from Monte Carlo to Capri, from Athens to Rhodes and on to Istanbul. I was 16 and very naive, and watched with fascination as our host and the diva embarked on what would become one of the most famous love affairs of the 20th century.
What a thrill to be observing the sort of things I had only read about in the newspapers I was not meant to see!
The cruise itself was an extraordinary experience for a teenager who had grown up in post-war Britain with its rationed food and clothing. Now I was being waited on hand and foot and visiting places I had only dreamed about.
After that first holiday, I journeyed with my grandfather to the South of France four times in the next five years. We would drive right up to the plane and, once in the air, my grandfather would puff away happily on a cigar. Smoking was allowed on planes, but not pipes or cigars.
But when he was on board, this rule became simply no pipes.
At Nice, we would pile into a fleet of cars also carrying easels, canvasses, paints - and a generous supply of Pol Roger, his favourite champagne. We were escorted by police to Monaco where we were installed in magnificent rooms on the top floor of the Hotel de Paris, with a breathtaking view of the harbour and Prince Rainier's pink palace.
On one of these visits Churchill fell and broke his hip. He told us he did not want to die away from England, so Harold Macmillan sent an RAF VC10 to fly him home. He was strapped into a stretcher bed in the stripped-down aircraft and I sat beside him, holding his hand and hoping and praying he would make it.
Make it he did - and he and I would make one more visit to France.
For the past 20 years I have been with my grandfather once again, researching a book and documentary on his travels. More recently, I have been leading Chasing Churchill tours to some of the places he liked the best. I even led one group on a Mediterranean cruise on Christina.
I have followed in his footsteps from India's North West Frontier to the Boer War battlefields; from America to Cuba; to Marrakech and, of course, the South of France where he painted so many of his most beautiful pictures.
My journey will never be over.
Around every corner there is another story and another place touched by this extraordinary man whom I am proud to have called Grandpapa.

This is how we like to spend our Friday mornings here in Portland, when we can: drooling over astonishing examples of the custom bike-builder's art, applied to the long-neglected niche of commuter bikes. The Oregon Manifest Constructor's Design Challenge kicked off this morning at a pop-up shop in the Pearl District of this bike-bonkers town, filling the room with eye candy for tasteful pedal-pushers.
The Challenge brings together 30+ of the nation's top bike builders to compete in the category of Best Commuter Bike Ever. The ensuing obsessive detailing and clever constructions are familiar to those who pay attention to high-performance road and racing cycles, but lavishing this level of attention on something designed to get you and your stuff to work is a more recent phenomenon, at least in the public eye. Yes, there was some gorgeous welding and brazing work to be witnessed, but equally impressive to us were the artfully built racks (like that on the Donkelope entry, pictured above), light mounts, fenders, and other workaday features that make your bike a daily transport device.
Check out what we mean below; lots more after the jump.
Oregon Manifest continues through November 8. Check the website for a full list of participating builders, and event schedule.
Update: For lots more eyecandy, check out BikePortland's photo coverage of the Manifest entries and the ensuing commuter bike race.

Geopolitics for International Careers (2011)
Topic Areas
International ManagementInternational careers are becoming increasingly common for MBA graduates. This is the case not only for those who will join multinational companies but also for those interested in pursuing careers at multinational institutions (UN agencies, World Bank etc).
Good knowledge of certain critical geopolitical matters is an indispensable requirement in pursuing international careers. For instance, the way in which Islam influences business - the emergence of Islamic financial instruments, the market for the "halal" food industry etc are issues that can no longer be ignored by any competent international manager.
The course focuses on five specific regions of the world that are increasingly strategic in terms of business opportunities:
- Middle East and the Gulf
- Japan and the Asian "tigers"
- Sub-saharan Africa
- Russia and CIS
- Latin America

DALLAS-Manufacturers showing new products at the Dallas International Lighting Market, which officially opened yesterday, said that the industry is exhibiting signs of improvement—though it still has a long way to go.
"People feel like they can go further out on the ledge than before," said Jeff Dross, senior product manager, Kichler. "The mood is more upbeat and people feel like we've gotten over the worst of it."
Kit Hastings, sales manager, Hubbardton Forge, has been meeting with lighting showrooms he's never worked with before. "They're looking for something to take business to the next level." The company's showroom was even busy on Wednesday, he added, before the show's official start day.
Along with 750 new products, Philips debuted its new showroom on the third floor of the Trade Mart, which pulls together its brands Thomas Lighting, Forecast Lighting and Philips. The Philips line released a number of LED products, including the Eurotech sleek Ledino group and ecomodes, both of which consisted mostly of fixtures.
Philips also showed home lighting accessories that are launching to the U.S. market. Several products give off colored light, including a wine chiller and vase, as well as a remote controlled color light that can change colors. The Thomas line had a "refreshed look" said Ellen McCarthy, senior manager, marketing, and has minimalist style and artistic lines. Shade materials include black silk string, natural elements such as bamboo, and laser-cut metal.
Kichler also had a slew of new products, including an art glass item called Spyro that uses uniform color to "do something interesting with the shape," said Jeff Dross. "We're doing a lot with cut stone." Lacey is another new item that has a double diffuser shade; "it makes for a real comfortable light source," Dross said.
Eurofase premiered four lines that used colored LED lights, which the consumer could remotely control. "LED is the real buzzword," said Ryan Stewart, communications manager. "We're building on that and trying to make it fun."
Other trends included smoked crystal, glass and acrylic, Stewart said, as well as laser-cut metal.
Kenroy debuted its new showroom on the fourth floor. It also premiered its mirror line, with about 40 items in a variety of styles.

You are hereTed Cruz: spin, spin, spinAt work on Monday morning, I received a call on my cell phone from Jessica with the Ted Cruz campaign, stumbling over "Mrs. Nuckols" and offering me the chance to be a "host" at their fundraiser next week. I guess someone didn't get the memo that I switched my support to Texas' Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst for Texas Senator months ago. Or that after being invited by several emails and phone calls – two on my cell phone, a couple at home – I challenged Mr. Cruz at a "meet and greet" here in New Braunfels back in May. Jessica's call inspired me to revive this post I've been editing, on and off, since June 1. Why would I change from one candidate to the other, even after donating money? It comes down to principles. As I'm sure is true for many of you, I don't just listen to what candidates and those who endorse them say. I look at how candidates make their decisions and conduct their campaigns. The Conservative reveals his principles by how he reaches his conclusions every bit as much as by his decisions and the end results of those decisions. Evaluating the decision process is especially important when the candidate has no voting or legislative history to back his rhetoric. Ted Cruz' problem is not only that he can't match David Dewhurst's solid record of Conservative victories in the Texas Senate. It's that he hasn't demonstrated that he acts from solid principles. In fact, rather than basing his campaign on a solid ground of philosophy, talent and plans for reform that would have strengthened the Conservative movement, Cruz set out to destroy the reputation of a good Conservative Texas Legislator by spinning half-truths and lies into campaign issues. Mr. Cruz doesn't even take responsibility when proven wrong or when called out for trying to cheat. Perhaps one of the most out of control moments of Cruz' spin - at least until the recent attack on a veteran by one of his supporters – was the day last September 9, 2011 when he exchanged snide remarks about Dewhurst with the Texas Tribune's Evan Smith. Both ignored the fact that the Lt. Governor was Acting Governor dealing with the wildfires in Bastrop and in other areas of Texas. Evidently, lost lives and homes don't trump campaign ops or opportunities for Mr. Cruz. At that meeting in New Braunfels, Cruz gave us example after example of his spin:
Don't we get tired of the combative political campaign spin that's all jargon and no judgement? The way out of the stall that causes a plane to spin is to turn out of the spin and regain thrust, rather than continue to corkscrew into the ground. CommentsFacebook Comments

Hi all
Craftsman LT1000 with Briggs And Stratton 17.5 HP Engine ohv 1st problem: Runs fine for about half an hour then dies
Follow-Up Postings:
how did you ck gas cap and fuel lines ? new fuel filter ? |
If the above bases were covered thoroughly, a coil would be a good guess. They are not prone to create this issue to the degree other makes are however. I'm assuming that the engine is running strong otherwise and may just need a traction belt. |
- Posted by geoffrey_2009 MO (My Page) on Sun, Jul 19, 09 at 13:14
Ok guys new development... I Just Ran It for An Hour (Cut my back lawn) I Noticed At start up that the fuel filter ( New Btw) was slightly over half full of gas after an hour of running under load engine started spluttering and died. Fuel filter was almost dry maybe a 1/4 full if that Just before it died. so i started it again and full filter filled up to about half way and engine was running fine? i disconnected the wire that goes into the bottom of carb bowl and it kills engine so it would appear that whatever it is, is working OK? So Now i'm thinking that its maybe fuel starvation. but remember it ran fine for an hour? Any Ideas based on this new information? and hole/vent in gas cap is clear of any obstruction |
Fuel tank may have some "migrant trash" moving around that randomly cover and obstruct the fuel pick-up port in the fuel tank. Try to shine a flashlight into the tank while you are in a darkened area or in the shade (helps your eyes to adjust to see in the tank) and you might be able to see the offensive debris. You may need to empty the tank and remove the tank for a good clean out. |
"i disconnected the wire that goes into the bottom of carb bowl and it kills engine so it would appear that whatever it is, is working OK?" yeah, that's the shutdown solenoid (or anti-afterfire sol) and keep it hooked back up as it lets fuel into the carb while energized by the ignition switch turned to the "on" position. Also agree with mownie's comments on cleaning tank.. and if the machine >4 yrs old - replace the fuel lines. Older fuel lines can get soft when hot, collapse or kink and starve engine. |
- Posted by geoffrey_2009 (My Page) on Sun, Jul 19, 09 at 14:26
thanks Guys will dump the tank and give it a good clean. Fuel lines look good but i think i will change umm out anyways. Be one thing less to consider. again thanks for the input |
'Craftsman LT1000 with Briggs And Stratton 17.5 HP Engine ohv 1st problem: Runs fine for about half an hour then dies 2nd Problem Definite loss of ground speed in all gears ' OK, I have the exact same unit, and had the same problem last year. I spent an entire morning checking stuff out, including using a spark tester tool, checking the valve clearances and the 'coil'. Anyway, none of those were the issue, the issue was that the carburetor choke was NOT spring back to the 'open' position after engine warm up/engine start. I saw some 'fixes' on the Internet which detailed how to remove the verical carb butterfly shaft and shave it down a little so it wouldn't stick. I figured I could always 'open' it manually with my hand after a few minutes, but instead drilled a small hole forward of it in the plastic housing, and put a 25 cent spring from there to the ALREADY-PRESENT hole in the black horizontal lever that attaches to the vertical butterfly shaft. See photo at http://www.uploadhouse.com/viewfile.php?id=2339206 before I added the spring. The hole I used is in the foreground; the choke lever from the driver seat pushes the black lever counterclockwise to close the choke, and when I release that lever, the spring I added pulls the black lever clockwise to open the choke. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Photo link
OK cusser, enough already! We now know you wear old fashioned panties, but this not one of "those" forums. |
- Posted by windcatcher (My Page) on Mon, Jul 20, 09 at 13:51
Now, now, Mownie. The panties is one thing, but the pink stuff is something else. Looks like some of it was mown quite nicely too. :D |
Always amazes me that people don't do the simple tests in these cases like seeing if there is good spark when the engine dies and put your lips against the gas tank filler and blow (do not inhale) to test for fuel starvation for instance for instance. Worn insulation or bad connectors on fuel solenoid valve is another good place to look. Walt Conner |

A graphic designer who worked in the music business with "everyone from Motorhead to McCartney" is exhibiting a private collection in Suffolk next month.
Neil Dean, 76, has collated a diverse selection of woodland scenes, abstract mixed media and fairy tale illustrations for the free exhibition at Woodbridge Library.
The former Suffolk resident, who was born in Holbrook, worked for many years in London designing images for music groups, including the logo for Paul McCartney's band Wings.
After retiring from the music business, Mr Dean focused on his own artwork and is looking forward to exhibiting it in Suffolk.
"I've always had a strong connection with the county and it's nice to be exhibiting this retrospective collection," he said. "If people were looking for a reason to come along, I guess it's the diversity of the work that makes it most interesting. My main point of departure is natural forms – I'm a country boy at heart – but there's also going to be abstract work and detailed illustrations, too."
Mr Dean, whose brother-in-law is Kevin Whitney, first national artist of the Olympic Games, is particularly pleased to be exhibiting at Woodbridge Library.
"I'm not usually keen on art exhibitions in libraries, but when I saw the space I was delighted – it's really impressive," he said.
The exhibition runs from Saturday, May 3 until May 31.

I am 51 with irregular periods (I have been irregular most of my life), however my last one lasted only 4 days. I usually bleed for 7-10 days average, with heavy bleeding and extreme cramps the first 2 to 3 days.
Hi Yes your right the sense of smell in menopausal women does get heightened, it would be best if you go for a blood test, a blood test tells all, and including if your starting the menopause.
Do hope this helps.
Good Luck

Oxygen Therapy: Super Oxygenation for Health
Oxygen Therapy is very important in keeping your body in top shape. Oxygen is the most vital element required for human life and it is the key to good health.
We can survive without water for a week and go without food for a month, but we can only live a few minutes without oxygen. Oxygen is both a life-giving and life-sustaining element. All body activities require oxygen. Through oxidation, the body generates heat and energy from its fuel, and disposes of wastes.
Our bodies are two-thirds water. Of that water, a majority resides within the lymph. Since the water in our bodies is itself 8/9 oxygen by weight, we are therefore composed of over 59% oxygen by weight. The best way to optimize health is to oxygenate every cell and system in our body. The more oxygen we have in our system, the more energy we produce, and the more efficient we can eliminate wastes. Good health is dependent upon the production, maintenance and flow of energy, which is produced by the oxidation (burning) of sugar.
Oxygen Therapy or Oxidation is central to metabolism, circulation, respiration, digestion, assimilation and elimination. Sufficient oxygen allows the body to rebuild itself and maintain the immune system. The basic requirements for each cell are sugar, amino acids, minerals, hormones, enzymes, and oxygen. The balance between these elements of life is critical for optimum health. Once the level of available oxygen is a cell drops below 60% normal, the cell is forced to switch to an inferior method of energy production – fermentation. Fermentation produces only 1/6 the energy of oxidation, so abnormal cells, which are perpetually starving for energy, have huge appetites for sugar. This wasteful metabolism becomes self-sustaining and dominant unless the oxygen level is sharply increased.When the body has sufficient oxygen, it is able to properly eliminate toxins from the system. Natural immunity is enhanced when the system is not over burdened with a heavy build-up of toxins.
Inside the Cell
All cells derive their energy from glucose. Healthy cells burn glucose in oxygen through oxidation, resulting in the production of carbon dioxide and water. Unhealthy cells burn glucose through fermentation, resulting in the production of large amounts of carbon monoxide and lactic acid. The body cannot easily rid itself of carbon monoxide, as it posses a strong affinity for the iron molecule within the hemoglobin. Not only does this prevent the hemoglobin from picking up fresh oxygen, it also lowers body temperature and raises heart rate. The lactic acid which builds up clogs neural pathways, eventually solidifying and causing degeneration.
Circumstantially, the blood then carries a heavy load of sludge, and toxins that are deposited in both the fat and the lymph. Thus the water composition of the body gets dirtier and dirtier.
Healthy cells, which have sufficient oxygen and nutrients, manufacture an enzyme coating that protects them from oxidation and invasion by foreign pathogens such as viruses. Oxygen starved cells are unable to produce this enzyme coating and are thus more vulnerable to invasion. Furthermore, disease microbes or pathogens have no enzyme coating. When ozone is introduced into the area, it oxidizes both the disease microbes and the unhealthy cells, allowing them to be cleared from the body.
Oxidizing Free Radicals
Free radicals are atoms with unpaired electrons, a natural occurrence in biochemical reactions. If they didn't exist, there could be no chemical reactions and thus no life without free radicals. Some are toxic to all living cells, while others, only to the most vulnerable cells. Singlet oxygen, O1, is highly reactive beneficial free radical that acts as a scavenger of other harmful free radicals. The nascent oxygen combines with them to render them harmless, thereby protecting cells from damage.
Free radicals scavenger and enzymes enhancers are gaining popularity as nutritional supplements have been shown to help protect marginally healthy cells from free radical damage. Along with oxygenation of the cells, they reduce oxygen starvation at the cellular level, which causes the cells to become too weak to make the enzyme coating to protect the cells. Free radicals proliferate as toxins interfere with the normal neutralizing enzyme mechanism for cleaning them up.
Repeated sessions with ozone are recommended as viruses and bacteria seem to be more susceptible at different stages of the growth cycle. Non-pressurized oxygen alone does not produce the beneficial effects of ozone therapy.
Medical ozone, when generated by the proper equipment and administered with proper protocols, is completely safe and non-toxic to humans. It has been shown to be completely safe, even when a dosage is many times greater than the proposed human dosage was administered.
Collateral Therapies
Ozone is not a drug and it is not a magic bullet. It is a tool of great power which can aid the body in regaining health. However, in the end, it is the immune system that heals the body. The immune system is controlled by the midbrain or limbic system, through the thymus. The limbic system also controls the emotions. If the emotions are disrupted due to stressors, whether exogenous or endogenous, the immune system is suppressed. All chronic illness and disease has an emotional component. If this is not dealt with, physical treatments will have little or no effect. By using ozone in the steam sauna, it enhances the immune system by contributing to a calm even heartbeat, produced by a well-oxygenated heart pumping clean bright red blood through plaque free arteries.
A Holistic approach to health and wellness should include a combination of ozone, exercise, nutrition, and emotional calm.

A memorial ride is being organized for a man killed while riding his bike earlier this week.
The bike ride for 26-year-old Marcus Nalls begins at 3:30 p.m. Saturday at the Berger Fountain in Loring Park.
According to police, a van driven by 49-year-old John Iverson hit a parked car, sending it up into the sidewalk, and then continued down Franklin Avenue in the right lane. Nalls was hit in the right lane, and the van veered up onto a snowbank, dragging Nalls underneath.
The fire department had to use an extrication device to lift the van off Nalls, who was pronounced dead a short time later at the scene.
Nalls was training at the Hyatt in Minneapolis to become a chef. He and his fiancée Amanda just moved here last month from Atlanta. Hotel general manager Mark Becker says Nalls left a large impression in his little time here.
"A great guy. Full of energy full of life. He had huge dreams," Becker said.
Nalls' co-workers at the hotel showed KSTP the loading dock and the bike rack workers use. They say it's hard not to see it and think about the one bike that will never be there again.
"It's sad to know that something that he loved so much is what took him from this earth," Becker said.
Nalls was an organ donor. KSTP is told his organs have already helped saved a little girl's life.
A memorial service for Nall will be held next weekend in Atlanta.

I've had my earth machine composter for about a month. I started by filling it about a third of the way with dried crushed leaves, and I've been adding fruit and vegetable ends, peels and scraps every day. Every time I add wet ingredients I stir things up very well with a shovel. All the composting articles say to stir often, but they seem to be geared at getting people to stir a few times a week. Is stirring daily better -- will my compost develop faster? -- or am I messing with it too much? |

For your description, stirring/mixing when you add is recommended for an add-as-you-go set up. For a hot batch pile once a week is enough. Stirring daily has no benefit as this is not suffient time between stirrings to allow microbes to distribute through all the matl. & heat things up. BTW "messing with it" only means you are learning as you go & having fun :) Hope this helps... Never stop composting! |
Some people will tell you that stirring, or mixing, compost too often will slow down the process and others will tell you differently. Many think compost should not be turned sooner then every 3 days while others think every 6 weeks is often enough. As the digestion process proceeds the bacteria generate heat and each time the material is turned that process is interrupted so instead of days track the core temperature of you compost. If the heat generated is close to 135 degrees the pile can, and should, be turned. If a compost pile does not reach that 135 degree temp then it needs to be looked at because the material may be too wet, the ratio of C to N may not be close to optimal, the material may be too dry, or there may not be enough volume. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Compost in 14 days
Yes there is, although few people turn the compost that often. Most of the time new compost folks want to know why their tumbler/pile/composting method is not getting the heat they have heard about. Tumbler advertising may say temps can reach 165F. But temps will only rise quickly and to high point (say 130F to 165F in the warmer months) if the following conditions are met: I have had core (center of pile, that is where the compost thermometer is stuck for the best reading) temp of 165F after two days. Am I correct is thinking that a Earth Machine is more the slower digester type than the faster tumbler type? Some people will warn against high temps like 165F. But there is a big difference between a backyard composter with a starting core temp of 165 and a commercial operation with the same 165F. My bins are 4'by8'by2' high. If I get a starting core temp of 150F in the middle soon after making my compost pile of finely shredded fall leaves mixed with a little grass, all the better. So I turn the pile, and water it a bit. Each day I stick my $20 compost thermometer in, and check the core temp. And I turn and water as necessary. BUT each time it is a bit lower. So after a few week or months, the first stage of composting is thru. But should this be described as compost of 150F? No way. How about a mix of cold and hot compost, that would be more accurate. |
There is a lot differing info on composting, even between the experts. And the experts are few in number. I like the Cornell articles they are short and to the point. But I've noticed that even they can differ in some of the numbers on composting temps. Lets take a look at a quote from the article Kimmsr suggested. "A pile that is decomposing properly should generate temperatures of 140°-160°F at its center." Quite a generalization. I might rephrase it -- "A backyard compost pile, optimally made in one day in the warmer weather, might reach a high core temp of 140 to 165F." |
There is no black/white yes/no answer to the OP question. For every variable, in every method of composting, there would be a corresponding "it depends". It's a mugs game to attempt to come up with a one size fits all answer. Using the OP's specific method I've had successes with stirring/mixing with every addition to an EM. I didn't necessarily add daily but there would be no issue with mixing it daily if one wanted to. IOW, it doesn't hurt. In fact it may help if moisture is also determined and adjusted if necessary. EMs work very well as a continuous feed system, ergo, psychrophiles need not be an issue. YMMV Lloyd |

It sounds like I need a compost thermometer! I'm glad to hear that someone else has an Earth Machine and is having luck with regular stirring. |
I'm not sure I would call it regular. It gets mixed and added to maybe every second or third day and only in the summer. Winter up here is not conducive to mixing. IOW, it's frozen solid. I don't think I've ever taken the temp of the stuff in the EM. That and my smallest tumbler are normally continuous feed so I don't see a purpose to it. Everything else I pretty well keep a loose track of the temperatures I get. Including pictures. Ya, I'm kinda obsessive 'bout compost. Lloyd |

Dear Roo,
I know I'm late with this months "Letter to Roo," but as you known we've been B.U.S.Y. With the holidays, our trip to Grandma's, shopping, etc... we've been beyond swamped. But you've handled everything I've thrown at you (not literally thrown) like a champ. I'm happy to say that beyond the temper tantrums you throw (literally) when I place you in a shopping cart, you've been an amazing toddler.
Speaking of the whole shopping cart thing, I need to know: when will it end? The only shopping cart you will allow me to place you in is the racing cart at Publix. This aversion to shopping carts has dampened my shopping spirits and you know how much Mommy loves to shop. Hopefully it won't last, or all of my favorite shops will buy racing car shopping carts for me (doubtful).
You took your first train ride this month and you were a champ. The 8+ hour ride to Grandma's was long, but you made yourself at home running up and down the aisles and snoozing through two states. At Grandma and Grandpa's house you had a blast tearing through everything. Grandma's poor Christmas village didn't survive, sadly. In your wake you left three headless horseman, one amputated policeman and two horses without manes. Grandma could've cared less though, she was elated that you were there and I imagine that if you would've push her Christmas tree over, she wouldn't have cared.
You've also learned new words this month, Abby and Apple being your favorites. You're also able to identify all the Sesame Street characters and find items Daddy and I ask for.
We continue to be amazed at your learning ability and pride ourselves on thinking you'll be the smartest toddler in the world. Of course, smarts is not the only thing you have. Cuteness is everywhere when you're here. Your smiles are breathtaking and your laughter is like bells. Daddy and I will do anything to make you smile and laugh and even if you're misbehaving a smile will make our anger disappear.
We love you so much Roo.

Suicide bomber kills 24 at Shia mosque in Pakistan
Pakistan has been hit with yet another deadly suicide attack in the heart of the country. A suicide bomber detonated outside the entrance of a Shia community center in the Chakwal district in Punjab province.
A young man estimated to be 16 or 17 years old exited a car and was stopped at the main gate of an imambargah, a congregation hall for Shia ritual ceremonies. The bomber detonated at the gate, where security personnel were searching the worshippers. More than 24 worshippers have been reported killed and more than 100 have been wounded, some seriously, according to reports.
The Taliban insurgency has spilled over into Pakistan's Punjab province over the past several months. The Taliban conducted two major assaults in the city of Lahore during March. On March 27, a Taliban assault team attacked a police training center in the city and killed more than 30 police officers and recruits before security forces responded. On March 3, an assault team ambushed the Sri Lankan cricket team in Lahore, killing six policemen and a civilian.
During February, the Taliban stepped up attacks in the Punjab districts of Dera Ghazi Khan and Mianwali. The Taliban assaulted police stations and checkpoints and conducted a massive suicide attack at a mosque.
The attacks have prompted the Punjab provincial government to consider closing down its borders with the two provinces. Fear of the rising violence led the Punjab government to order the closure of two facilities used by truckers transporting supplies to NATO forces in Afghanistan.
Today's attack is the fourth suicide bombing in Pakistan in five days and the third in three days. Yesterday, a suicide bomber in Islamabad targeted a police camp in the heart of Islamabad, and killed 8 police personnel assigned to protect sensitive facilities and VIPs. Also, in North Waziristan, a suicide bomber targeted a Frontier Corps checkpoint. Seventeen civilians were killed, some in the resultant panic fire by the paramilitary troops.
The Taliban are on pace to exceed last year's record of 61 suicide attacks in Pakistan. There have been 21 suicide attacks this year. The Taliban have carried out three suicide attacks during the first four days of April, nine in March, five in February, and another three in January.
Today's attack is also the latest in a series of strikes at mosques and religious services inside Pakistan. The Taliban and allied terror groups such as the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi have heavily targeted the Shia minority in Pakistan; however Sunni mosques have been heavily hit as well.
Major attacks at mosques and religious events in Pakistan since December 2007:
April 5, 2009: A suicide bomber killed 24 worshippers and wounded more than 100 in an attack outside of a Shia religious center in in the Chakwal district in Punjab province.
March 27, 2009: A Taliban suicide bomber killed more than 70 worshipers and wounded more than 125 in an attack at a mosque in the Khyber tribal agency.
March 5, 2009: An attacker three a hand grenade in the middle of a mosque in Dera Ismail Khan. Twenty-five worshippers
March 2, 2009: A suicide bomber killed six people during an attack at a gathering in a mosque in the Pishin district in Baluchistan.
Feb. 20, 2008: A suicide bomber killed 32 Pakistanis and wounded more than 85 in an attack on a funeral procession for a Shia elder who was murdered yesterday in Dera Ismail Khan.
Feb. 5, 2009: A suicide attack outside of a mosque killed more than 30 Shia worshipers and wounded more than 50.
Nov. 22, 2008: A bombing at a mosque in Hangu killed five civilians and wounded seven.
Nov. 21, 2008: A suicide attack on a funeral procession in Dera Ismail Khan killed 10 mourners and wounded more than 25.
Sept. 10, 2008: The Taliban attacked a mosque filled with Ramadan worshippers in the district of Dir northwestern Pakistan. More than 25 worshippers were killed and more than 50 were wounded.
Aug. 19, 2008: A suicide bomber killed 29 Shia mourners and wounded 35 after detonating in the emergency ward of a hospital.
June 17, 2008: Four Pakistanis were killed and three wounded in a bombing at a Shia mosque in Dera Ismail Khan.
May 19, 2008: Four Pakistanis were killed in a bombing outside a mosque in Bajaur.
Jan. 17, 2008: A suicide bomber killed 10 and wounded 25 in an attack on a Shia mosque in Peshawar.
Dec. 28, 2007: A suicide bomber detonated in the middle of a mosque in Charsadda in an attempt to kill former Interior Minister Aftab Sherpao as he conducted Eid prayers. More than 50 were killed and more than 200 were wounded.
READER COMMENTS: "Suicide bomber kills 24 at Shia mosque in Pakistan"
Posted by kw64 at April 5, 2009 5:08 PM ET:
Shia moslems in Pakistan may not naturally be well inclined toward the US or Afghanistan, but we have been blessed with outstandingly odius enemies who so alienate the people they come in contact with that I have confidence that we eventually can work out some kind of joint front against them.
Posted by Marlin at April 5, 2009 8:01 PM ET:
More details are now available. It is clear that since these suicide bombings aren't going to stop anytime soon, the Pakistanis will have to come up with different screening methods to protect the screeners. In this case they identified him, but its almost impossible they could have survived the resulting blast.
A suicide bomber blew himself up at a Shia religious gathering in an Imambargah in Chakwal on Sunday, killing at least 22 people and wounding 60.[...]
The official said the suicide bomber appeared to be a 15-year-old boy whose legs and head, with damage to the face, had been found at the blast site.
Provincial Law Minister Rana Sanaullah said the bomber could not enter the mosque and blew himself up at the entrance.
"The bomber was intercepted at the entrance otherwise he could have caused large-scale casualties,"� Sanaullah said.

Posted by KaneKaizer at April 5, 2009 10:51 PM ET:
Pakistan has a massive population of both Shiites and Sunnis, mostly Sunnis. Many times the population of Iraq. If Pakistan falls into anarchy with a possible Taliban takeover, would it likely result in a genocidal campaign against the Shiites like what went on for a while in Iraq? Every time a suicide bomber destroys a Shia mosque in Pakistan it feels similar to Shia mosques in Iraq being blown up almost daily in Iraq.
Does anyone know if the Taliban despises Shiites the same way that the Islamic State of Iraq did?

Taliban dislike any group that doesn't fit in their narrow definition of acceptable.
There is also the SSP which has its roots in the Punjab and is also strongly Anti Shia.

They should pray in home. Going to mosque is risky, until security situation improves. IMO only good thing in Pak is press freedom.

I bought the Nounou sample pack from Birchbox (contains shampoo, conditioner, and Oi Oil). It felt great while I used it, but when my hair dried, it smelled a lot like Lush's The Smell of Weather Turning perfume, which I've tried so hard to love but can't. I'm normally not someone who will let the scent of a product keep me from using it, but I get more shine and better curl using my Shea Moisture Raw Shea Butter Moisture Retention shampoo, conditioner, and oil. Not to mention, the whole Shea Moisture line costs about as much as one bottle of Davines. I know they're not exactly comparable, but I don't think I'll buy the full sizes of the shampoo or conditioner unless the results change before the sample runs out. I like the end result of what I've been using way more than what I get with Nounou. That said, my hair is incredibly soft. That's just not all I'm looking for.

This stuff is so weird. It's thick and clumpy, doesn't spread easily so I feel like I have to use way too much of it. It doesn't make my hair soft, but somehow coats it and makes it kind of gross, and limp way too fast. Also, there must be some kind of wax or something in it, because it doesn't rinse cleanly off the tub floor. I get the sustainability packaging thing, but they put the shampoo in squeezy tubes, so why not the conditioner? digging it out of the tub is gross.

Just so people know, Davines products usually have a line on the back of their package marking 250 milliliters. There needs to be enough extra space to put the lid on.
The packaging is the way it is because Davines puts a lot of effort in sustainable beauty. That means their products are biodegradable. You can reuse their conditioner tubs as snack containers for lunch.
Please, do some research before bashing something that's different. Renewable resources like these aren't in a high enough demand to be seen everywhere.
Nounou conditioner (and shampoo) is great. I've used it for myself. Does not weigh my hair down and gets the job done. It's a natural product, so you're not going to get that fake, silky feeling you people seem to like.

This product is nothing special. I wasn't very impressed, especially for the price. Parabens, artificial fragrance, non-water soluble silicones in this product, as per usual. NOT worth it.
Plus is has alcohol denat, which is a drying alcohol!

This conditioner is very close to HG status with me. For years I used Aveda's curessence just for it to be discontinued. I have tried a ton of brands salon & drugstore and found that most conditioners weighed my fine hair down and honestly just did not seem to be doing that much for my hair. In July my stylist ended up frying my hair so after I switched salons my new stylist introduced me to this conditioner. My hair felt so much softer after just one use. It is very close to curessence and probably the closest I will find to it. I just hope they don't discontinue this one as well!

I purchased this at my last salon visit on lieu of my usual conditioner, Davines Melu (which is excellent), because they were out of it. I do not like this at all! Getting past the packaging, which I am ok with, this product does not seem to do anything beneficial for my hair. Also, it smells weird. Like, a mothball or something really old. I don't think it's very moisturizing, either. I would not recommend this.

This review is for the mask. i have tried tons (and I mean tons) of high end masks and wanted to try this one because i dont think it has much protein if not any and there is not a ton of silicones. Also, several people in the reviews have stated that this does not coat the hair but really moisturizes. I hate that fake smooth feeling you get with tons of silicones only to just have your hair feel even drier that before after a few hours. Well this DOES COAT THE HAIR. Take it from me i have tried lots of masks and this one made my hair waxy, coated, and dry as a damn broom. Complete waste of money. Smells funky too.

I love Davines so much I can't live without it! I tried Davines nounou conditioner and shampoo half a year ago and I was hooked. Since that time I have used almost all davines hair products, but this conditioner is my favorite so far. Makes my hair really smooth, and silky, super shiny, and smelling great. It was so hard to find davines where i live, but I purchased it online here http://www.fashionandbeautystore.com/davines.html. Was delivered really fast. Love it!

Reasonable Accommodations: A Faculty Guide to Teaching College Students with Accessibility Concerns
In your classroom, you will undoubtedly encounter a student with accessibility concerns. (Note that some CUNY documents still use the term "Disability," while John Jay has gradually shifted to the term "Accessibility.") It is considered a "best practice" for your syllabus to state that you will provide reasonable accommodations to any student with a documented accessibility issue, as recognized by John Jay's Office of Accessibility Services. Generally speaking, a student should produce a letter within the first two weeks of classes stating what accommodations may be used in your course; these often include extended time on tests (tests will be administered in our testing center); a note-taker, the ability to record lectures, and in some cases, a sign-language interpreter, etc. It is appropriate to tell students that you do NOT want to know the nature of the disability but rather, how you will modify assignments, lectures, activities, and exams as needed.
The Accessibility Office is in Room L.66.00, You can also call them at 212.237.8031.
To learn more about what defines a disability, this guide from the City University is incredibly helpful:

Lifestyle-Related Ills Tend to Multiply with Age, Study Finds
April 24th, 2013 at 7:13 am by timigustafsonSeniors who suffer from chronic health conditions like high blood pressure or heart disease often develop a host of other, seemingly unrelated health problems, including cognitive impairment like memory loss and dementia, according to a new study based on data collected by the National Center for Health Statistics.
For the study, the researchers analyzed the medical records of hundreds of thousands of seniors residing in assisted-living facilities and found that most had at least one chronic health condition. What was more alarming, however, was that many had overlapping ailments. While high blood pressure and heart disease were most common, nearly half of the assisted-living residents showed signs of dementia.
"These findings suggest a vulnerable population with a high burden of functional and cognitive impairment," the authors of the study report wrote.
Many studies have suggested a link between vascular disease and dementia, particularly Alzheimer's, said Dr. P. Murali Doraiswamy, a professor for psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Duke University's Institute for Brain Sciences (DIBS). Therefore it may not be possible to treat dementia without treating vascular problems, he added.
But that may be easier said than done. "We don't universally do a great job of how we treat conditions that overlap, for example Alzheimer's and high blood pressure," said Dr. Cythia M. Boyd, an associate professor of geriatric medicine at the John Hopkins University Center on Aging and Health, to the New York Times. "Much of the way we practice medicine is looking at disease by disease. We aren't doing enough thinking about how to add them together and really integrate care."
What makes things more complicated is that most doctors are not sufficiently trained in preventing or reducing lifestyle-related illnesses – not in the general public and certainly not in older patients – other than through medicating. For instance, the importance of nutrition as a part of preventive care is rarely ever mentioned in medical schools. The approximate time devoted to nutrition science over the first two years of medical education is six hours, which is clearly inadequate, according to the National Academy of Sciences. The same goes for other health-promoting measures such as exercise, especially for the aging population.
Yet many studies have provided compelling evidence that diet and exercise play a significant role for physical and mental health at any time in life but increasingly so as we age.
For example, a more recent study from Britain concluded that the so-called "Western diet," which typically includes fried, sweet and processed foods, red meat, refined grains and high-fat dairy products, increases the risk of chronic diseases, which in turn can adversely affect both physical and mental health in later years. Eating a Western diet makes it less likely to have an ideal aging process, says Dr. Tasnime Akbaraly, a researcher at the University College of London and lead author of the study report. Conversely, making dietary improvements can yield multiple benefits in this regard.
There is also further evidence that exercise can give a boost to the aging brain. Scientists at the University of British Columbia found that older women who suffered from mild cognitive impairment could improve their memory through weight training and brisk walking.
The connections between physical and mental decline may not yet be completely understood, but it seems clear that chronic diseases play a major role in the process. While these are widespread, the encouraging news is that many, if not all, are preventable by healthier lifestyle choices.

Reducing Salt Intake Even by Small Amounts Could Save Thousands of Lives Every Year, Experts Say
February 17th, 2013 at 7:40 am by timigustafsonLess salt in our food supply could save at least half a million Americans from dying prematurely over the next ten years, according to separate studies conducted at three universities, two American and one Canadian. If the average daily salt intake were to drop to 1,500 milligrams, as recommended by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, the number of lives saved could more than double. All study results were published in the medical journal Hypertension, a publication of the American Heart Association (AHA).
Americans currently consume on average 3,600 milligrams of salt daily, mostly in form of sodium, widely used as an ingredient in processed foods. Sodium is considered a significant contributor to high blood pressure, which can lead to heart disease, heart attack and stroke, all leading causes of death in the U.S. today.
About a third of American adults, or 68 million, suffer from high blood pressure, a.k.a. hypertension, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The condition was identified as a primary or contributing cause of nearly 350,000 deaths in the U.S. in 2008, the last time the CDC has updated its research on the subject.
Despite of these alarming statistics, there are currently no signs of improvement. Even better treatment has only shown mixed results. Less than half (46 percent) of high blood pressure patients have their condition under control, according to the CDC.
Because the salt content in processed food is already added before it reaches the consumer, there is little opportunity to make changes on an individual basis other than limiting one's choices to fresh items like produce. This would also exclude many options in restaurants.
"Individuals can't make this choice easily," said Dr. Kirstin Bibbins-Domingo, professor of medicine and epidemiology at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), to ABC News. "So maybe we should find ways to work with the food industry," she suggested.
The National Salt Reduction Initiative, a partnership started by the New York City Health Department that has expanded to nearly 100 city and state health organizations across the country, has been trying to get food manufacturers and restaurant operators to cut salt by 25 percent or more since 2008, the year of the organization's inception. The current goal is to achieve a reduction of 20 percent by 2014.
Critics say that such measures are impractical and would make little difference. Public health advocates have been focusing on hypertension as if no other health threats existed, said Morton Satin, Vice President of science and research at the Salt Institute, a trade association for the salt industry, in response to the recent studies to ABC News. The association warns that low salt intake could produce its own set of health problems, especially for the elderly.
While most experts would agree that multiple factors can be responsible for the development of high blood pressure, including genetic predisposition, gender, age and other non-modifiable components, poor diet and lifestyle choices, which are modifiable and therefore preventable risk factors, usually play a much greater role. In a milestone conference on the connections between sodium intake and blood pressure, sponsored by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), the participating scientists concluded that "an abundance of scientific evidence indicates that higher sodium consumption is associated with higher levels of blood pressure, [as demonstrated in] animal studies, observational epidemiologic studies, and clinical studies and trials." They were also hopeful that more effective strategies could be developed to improve diet and lifestyles patterns that benefit the larger population.

Even Slightly Elevated Blood Pressure Poses Health Risks
November 16th, 2011 at 10:39 am by timigustafsonIf you think your blood pressure is normal, you may want to double-check with your doctor. According to new guidelines, blood pressure of 120/80 mmHg, which was until recently seen as within a healthy range, is now classified as elevated.
Scientists at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) found that people under the age of 65 who were diagnosed with a condition called "prehypertension" had a 68 percent increased risk of suffering a stroke compared to those with normal readings.
Prehypertension is defined by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as a systolic pressure (upper number) of 120 to 139 mmHg and a diastolic pressure (lower number) of 80 to 89. Higher readings than 140/90 are considered to be hypertension. Ideally, the normal range should be well below the prehypertension threshold.
When blood pressure rises, the heart has to work harder. If blood pressure remains chronically elevated, the risk of cardiovascular disease increases, which can eventually lead to heart attack, stroke or heart failure.
A primary risk factor is obesity. The greater the body mass, the more blood is needed to transport oxygen and nutrients. The higher volume of blood circulating through the blood vessels puts ever more force on the artery walls.
There are other causes as well. Atherosclerosis, the buildup of fatty deposits in the arteries, is quite common. Other contributing conditions are sleep apnea, kidney disease, thyroid disease and adrenal disease.
Poor diet- and lifestyle choices are most often (at least in part) responsible for high blood pressure to occur. But even some medications, including birth control pills, cold remedies, painkillers and other prescription drugs can play a role. So can recreational drugs like cocaine and amphetamines.
There is no cure for high blood pressure, only treatment through medication and lifestyle measures like diet and exercise.
Prehypertension should be seen as a warning sign, according to Dr. Bruce Ovbiagele, a professor at UCSD and lead author of the study that lead to the revised guidelines. "This doesn't mean that people with prehypertension should start taking anti-hypertensive drugs. Instead, they should modify their lifestyle, maintain an ideal weight and lower their sodium intake."
The worst you can do is to ignore the numbers, said Dr. Ovbiagele. "You shouldn't be deceived because nothing seems to be going on." Because there are no specific symptoms for prehypertension or hypertension, people tend to think they can live with the condition.
Nothing could be further from the truth. If you are overweight, even moderately, shed the extra pounds as soon as possible. Exercise regularly. Nothing is better for your blood pressure and your heart than a rigorous workout several times a week (consult with your doctor if you already have elevated blood pressure and don't currently exercise). Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, fish and low-fat dairy products. Avoid foods that are high in sodium like processed and packaged food items. Eat foods that are low-fat, low-cholesterol and free of trans fats and other unhealthy ingredients. Cut back on meat, especially red meat. Drink alcohol in only moderation, preferably red wine. Last but not least, manage your stress and get enough sleep.

We bought our house in September last year and for 3 years before that the landscape had not got much attention as we hear from the neighbors and witnessed in the way things looked. The Tipuana tipu looked fairly young (3" dia. trunk, maybe 15' -20' H X W) and very spindly and awkward. It did have some broken branches and rips from before. I pruned it in the winter and did water it a bit. I did not prune more than 1/3 of the tree and was careful.
However, since then, it's leaves started to stipple and turn yellow and now it's almost totally defoliated except for the seedpods. As I understand it, it shoudl be getting ready to flower soon! We did spot a gopher hole near there, but I am just wondering if I killed it with pruning or could it be the gopher or does anyone have any other ideas? Is it too late to save it as well or what can I do??? Thanks!!! |

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Morgan, a mishawaka English Bulldog dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a English Bulldog for sale in mishawaka, or seeking a English Bulldog dog from a breeder in mishawaka.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in mishawaka already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a mishawaka breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even English Bulldog breeders who help with English Bulldog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in mishawaka paves the way for another one to be saved.

The driver's side window on my 98 Chevy Venture would lower fine, but will not raise up. There is no motor noise, no clicking -- just dead in the water. My first thought would be to replace the motor, but since it lowered it without any problem, could it be something else instead? Regulator? Something else? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Sure it could be several things, but the most likely is simply a bad switch. |
- Posted by hardlyclever (My Page) on Wed, Jul 14, 10 at 13:22
Hi John, Is there a definitive way to check? I'm trying to do this myself and avoid the $$ of taking it into the dealer. Thanks! |
It can be a bad switch or a broken wire most often in the door boot where the wires get flexed ever time the door is opened. To make matters more interesting, it is possible for the metal wire to break inside its insulating sleeve without the insulation parting. During the early phase of such a break, it may exhibit intermittent circuit. Try this: Hold the switch down while swinging the door back and forth (slowly). If the broken ends of the wire temporarily meet, the window motor may momentarily operate. Service manuals do describe procedures for testing the switch, but these may not differentiate between a bad switch and a broken wire. The window switches are snap acting blades. A broken blade will affect the feel of the rocker button. If the rocker button feels normal when operated, chances are the snap blade is ok. With the vehicle in a quiet place, put your ear next the switch and operate the rocker buttons and listen for the sanp blades. All should snap to and fro in a decided crisp manner. The most common modes of failure are: The switch assembly can be removed and tested with a continuity light or Volt-Ohm-Meter. It unplugs from the wiring harness via a multi-pin commector. However, you will have to have the pin-out diagram to make sense of it. |
sounds like a bad switch to me. Pull the switch and take a look, I'll bet you can see the problem. |
It has been a few days, so what happened? Did you find the problem? |
- Posted by hardlyclever (My Page) on Sun, Aug 1, 10 at 10:01
Hi guys, It definitely was a bad switch -- now replaced and working fine. Thank you so much for the help! |
Have same issue with my rear passenger window in my 05 chevy impala.... Just changed the window motor and regulator but will not raise up. Swapped driver side with passenger and still no response on the passenger side but the one from the passenger side worked on the driver side, any suggestions. |
This post was edited by dadd6y on Sat, Jul 5, 14 at 16:00
You mentioned the motor and regulator, what about the switch? |
2002 ford explorer. passenger front door problem. passenger switch works down only. |
I have 1998 acura Integra when I put the new motor in the window rolled up and thats it. Researching i hard wired the switch reversing the wires and the window rolled down but only with the passenger switch. So it will either only roll up or down but not with the master switch. Is it the master switch? |

Unfortunately none of the seeds I planted germinated. However, I know there is often a long germination time so am going to try another round with natural stratification over the winter. If I get any thing coming up, I'll revisit my recommendation.
