Was it Mark Twain who said "a lie gets half way around the world before the truth leaves the starting gate" So it was when they hid the truth when Muskrat Falls was sanctioned. Now the truth is catching up, and those that promoted the big lie is slip sliding. Dunderdale thinks the majority will thank her in 2015. For what? For deceiving us... that we would have black outs and be cold in the winter for lack of electricity? That Holyrood would use more and more oil, while in fact it has gone down, from 30 percent of our production to 10.5 percent. Our electricity prices will jump 50 percent, and with no demand on the island for the power, taxes much jump too. Other jurisdictions will be seeing stable electricity prices. Yes , at the rate the truth is unfolding, no doubt we will be all onboard with MY Premier by 2015. MF must be stopped, but even the opposition parties are party to the big lie. So what can save us? Soon MF will be incurring costs of 3 million dollars per day, every day for several years, and then have no market for the power, not even on the island. What a legacy this government will likely leave. And the interest expenses will go on for decades.

If Premier Dunderdale and her cohorts do any further long term damage to the economy, along with the fatal blunder that is Muskrat Falls, the province will never recover. As it stands, we are going to be financially hamstrung for decades with Muskrat Falls. In my opinion, they simply had NO RIGHT to play Russian roulette with the people and the economy of this province by bullying their way into sanctioning of that project. A referendum....with full and complete disclosure of the project and a full review of ALL options...would have been the only way for them to proceed with sanction, in my opinion. Anything less was negligent and should result in severe sanctions on this administration and NALCOR, who were complicit in this decision. Unfortunately, we, the people will be the ones paying for their egregious mistake.

They are done. The public is fed up with the lack of transparency with this government. They are not honest and for some reason feel they have the right to boondoggle us on everything and enact legislation to cover their collective ass. In all my years I have never seen such arrogance, and shameless self promotion. They are so convinced of their intellectual superiority over the peasants and really believe they know what is best for us all. I think the public has had enough of the lies and they will turf this government to the curb next election. I hope this is a lesson for the two parties in waiting. The exact same thing will happen to Harper as well. Hope they both hang around to take it on the chin!!

Why should ratepayers pay $35 billion over 50 years (DG2 numbers), about $45 billion (DG3 numbers), and $65 billion (final cost) for power they 1) do not need, 2) cannot afford, and 3) is too risky?......... Using my money to pay off the debt for an unneeded, dinosaur of a project just don't cut it. .... It is a waste, it is NOT part of a coherent vision and it ensures we (the province) will be in a weak fiscal position when the time comes to deal with Quebec pre-2041..... We will have screwed OURSELVES, once again.

If she passes legislation that every penny added to government coffers due to Muskrat Falls development, taxes, income taxes, sale of power, etc... will, by law, go towards the debt from the project and that mining companies will pay a full share, then the Tories will get my support. Don't expect me to tighten my belt unless you will do the same. I also don't agree that polls are accurate all the time due to the one that says most folks support the project. I've talked to a lot of people and no one Ihave spoken with supports the project as it stands. If the question in the poll asks do I think we should do it, then I would say yes too, but notunder the terms that are set up now. Ed Martin will set the power rates? How foolish is that?

Bearer bonds are also known as coupon bonds. These are bonds that are physically held by the owner of the bonds rather than registered electronically, like most bonds. Bearer bonds were first used in the late 1800s as a way to carry large amounts of money without carrying cash. They were subsequently banned in the U.S. in 1982 due to misuse; however, they are still used widely in Central America. Bearer bonds have coupons that must be torn off and sent in to collect payment.
Examine the face of the bond. Determine the company that issued it. .
Contact the investor relations department for the company to speak to a bondholder relations representative. Ask where to send coupons in order to cash the bond. This is also referred to as the processing department.
Contact your banker. If you cannot find the company or contact its investor relations department, your bank might cash the bonds for you. Ask for the fixed-income department and be ready to fax a copy of the bearer bond along with all the coupons. Since bearer bonds don't have to be cashed by the purchaser, anyone can cash the bond for you and most bankers will do so after verifying the authenticity of the bond. They will also charge a fee.

In the market for a new car? You should've checked out Gilt today at noon. The private sale company sold a special Volkswagen Jetta (completely new!) for the slightly insane price of $5,995. Normally, these cars retail for $15,995. Missed it? Don't feel too bad. You'll get a chance tomorrow and Friday at noon, for two more of the limited-edition cars. Sure, your chances of getting one are kinda slim, but still. Oh, and you can only access the sale through mobile devices like the iPhone app, iPad, etc.

Betsey Johnson Is Getting Her Own TV Show on the Style Network
Style Media, parent company of the Style Network, has just announced a new list of programs in development for 2012—and one in-the-works series has us particularly pumped.
Betsey + Lulu will star kooky, cartwheeling fashion designer (not to mention Manhattan fixture) Betsey Johnson alongside her daughter and muse Lulu, following the pair around their day-to-day lives in Manhattan. The catch? Single mother Lulu wants to launch her own fashion label and finally step out from Betsey's shadow. Honestly, we hope Lulu has a taste for dark palettes and minimalist silhouettes, because considering Betsey's aesthetic, that'd make for some damn dramatic programming. The network's also promised a cameo from the pair's shrink and interior decorator—no word on whether they're actually the same person.
Betsey + Lulu is set to premiere later this year. Will you be watching?

Surprise: ''Knockaround Guys'' plays the premise straight, toying with familiar Mob themes of honor and betrayal while coming to a very slow boil. What keeps it (barely) watchable are Pepper's moody intensity as the conflicted son of the big boss (Dennis Hopper), Diesel's brawny cool as a low-level enforcer, and John Malkovich's glazed hamminess as an old-school Brooklyn mobster. Whenever he's on screen, the movie is sorta funny.

Amazon's Secret Sale on Kindles?
August 4th, 2011
For the last two days, Amazon's been selling the Kindle 3 at an even lower price than usual. A refurbished Kindle 3 cost just $129.99 — a reduction of more than 31% from its usual sales price of $189.00. And for the WiFi-only version of a refurbished Kindle 3, the price was just $99.99 — also close to a 30% reduction from its usual $139!
This is the lowest price I've ever seen for a refurbished Kindle. Back in March, Amazon lowered prices on a refurbished Kindle 3, but only by ten dollars — to $129.99 for the WiFi-only version, and $179.99 for the Kindle 3G. What's going on here? Maybe Amazon's getting rid of them, because they're planning to start selling a newer version of the Kindle soon. The Wall Street Journal reported recently that by the end of September, Amazon will have released two different versions of the Kindle — citing "people familiar with the matter." (And at least one of the new Kindles will even have a touchscreen, according to the newspaper's sources.)
It's a strategy Amazon's used before. In a Kindle discussion site, one poster remembers buying a cheap Kindle 2 last summer for just $109 — only to discover that a month later Amazon was releasing the new Kindle 3! But it turns out that it's not just Kindles that Amazon's selling at a discount. Their "Warehouse Deals" page is also offering big discounts on over 20 different refurbished Kindle jackets and skins. (My favorite was the yellow Kindle skin with the smiling face of Mickey Mouse.)
You can even buy a refurbished Kindle 2 for just $89.99. And Amazon's special page also promises they've checked the quality of all the refurbished items. "Amazon receives a returned product," explains a flow chart at the top of the page. "Product's working order is ensured… Product quality level is determined… Product is offered at deep discount." In fact, the home page for Amazon's "Warehouse Deals" now features a whole section devoted to the Kindle and Kindle accessories.
So if you've ever wanted to shop for another — or for an interesting Kindle jacket — here's your chance to find one at a discount!

In his weekly address, President Barack Obama announced that on Monday, his administration will send to Congress the blueprint for an updated Elementary and Secondary Education Act that will overhaul No Child Left Behind. The plan will set the ambitious goal of ensuring that all students graduate from high school prepared for college and a career, and it will provide states, districts and schools with the flexibility and resources to reach that goal.

Obama: Put the American People Ahead of Insurance Companies
by Chris Prevatt •
Democrats and Republicans agree that this is a serious problem for America. And we agree that if we do nothing -– if we throw up our hands and walk away -– it's a problem that will only grow worse. Nobody disputes that. More Americans will lose their family's health insurance if they switch jobs or lose their job. More small businesses will be forced to choose between health care and hiring. More insurance companies will deny people coverage who have preexisting conditions, or they'll drop people's coverage when they get sick and need it most. And the rising cost of Medicare and Medicaid will sink our government deeper and deeper and deeper into debt. On all of this we agree.
Obama Weekly Address: Opening Doors for Small Business
by Chris Prevatt •
Reiterating once again his commitment to small business as the engine of our economy, the President urges Congress to move forward immediately on steps to help them expand and create jobs. These proposals include using $30 billion in TARP funds to create a new Small Business Lending Fund to provide capital to community banks to increase lending to small businesses…
Race to the Top-Buyers Beware
by Mike Matsuda •
While our local districts are comprised of well intentioned, highly educated and reflective leaders who are doing their best to find resources to fill the budget shortfall, we are perplexed that some districts (60% state-wide) agreed to submit a "Memorandum Of Understanding†with the Governor's Office to participate in California's application for the federal Race to the Top (RTTT) competitive grant program.
Race to the Test
by Chris Prevatt •
Stop paying teachers and principals a salary. Instead, pay them on a per-standardized-test-point basis each day. At the end of the school day, simply give each student a standardized test. Then calculate what the teacher and principal will be paid that day based on the growth of the student, that is, on how much the student has improved over the previous day.
Brother, Can You Spare Five Dimes?
by Chris Prevatt •
One of the best known songs of the Great "Republican" Depression "Brother Can you Spare a Dime"was written in 1931. Viewed as the anthem of the shattered dreams of the Depression era, considering our current economic recession and our shattered dreams of Change, this song seems to be strikingly relevant.
President Obama's Speech Receiving Nobel Prize In Oslo, Norway
by Chris Prevatt •
"I receive this honor with deep gratitude and great humility," he said. "It is an award that speaks to our highest aspirations — that for all the cruelty and hardship of our world, we are not mere prisoners of fate. Our actions matter, and can bend history in the direction of justice.

Roundup DFWT-150 Customer Reviews
Product Code: 085-DFWT150
I own two restaurants and we use these to make steamed sandwiches and vegetibles. They can be used to cook almost anything. The timer alows you to start it and leave it, freeing up time wasted with a pump style steamer. It also produces more consistant results. Every sandwich is the same everytime. I have cooked seafood, rice, bbq, burgers, hotdogs, and vegetibles with ours. I wish it had a water level on the outside. So, you could see when the water level was getting low with out haveing to open the reservoir. I have had one of these steamers 3 years, used 6 days a week 11 hours a day, and only had to change one switch. So, when I decided to open another restaurant this was one of the first things I ordered.

Much like the hair and costume folks for Lady Gaga and Nicki Minaj, the marketing folks for video games know exactly what they're doing when it comes to getting attention for their product. And as we've seen all-too-often with video games, the go-to advertising strategy is sex, sex, more sex, followed by a healthy dollop of sexualized violence against women.
The lastest game raising hackles is "Hitman: Absolution" — specifically, its new trailer, "Attack of The Saints," which features "sexy dominatrix nuns" getting punched, kicked and shot at by the game's hitman hero, Agent 47. Keep reading »

My dryer vent is about 6" above the floor of my deck. I took two birdhouse gourds grown this year and laid them by the dryer vent. Guess what???? The seeds are rattling inside the smaller one. The large one should be dry in a couple of weeks. They have been under the vent for approx. four weeks. I use the dryer every Saturday (just about all day) and maybe once or twice during the week most of the time I don't use it all through the week. I think I will sit one of my apple gourds by the vent and see what happens. |
Follow-Up Postings:
lol what a way to dry ;o) What ever works though. I have set an egg gourd and a spooner on my stove and they get all that heat and from the oven too, still taking while, but far ahead of all the rest! S. |
I guess everybody tries new ways to dry faster... last year I put a pile of egg gourds in my old non-running Camaro (which sits behind my barn in the sun all day long). It gets extremely hot inside on sunny days. Speeded up the drying process immensely! :) |

CASPER, Wyo. — Despite strong profits, it has been a bruising 12 months for the U.S. coal industry, which came under fire for mountaintop removal mining and coal ash waste in the eastern half of the country.
Wyoming's major coal operators avoided those hot-button environmental issues and weathered softening demand by having most — if not all — 2009 production already under contract for favorable prices.
But the industry faces a multitude of mounting challenges, from the cost of production and transportation to more stringent pollution controls and a more competitive international market. That means utilities are constantly flirting with a switch to natural gas, energy efficiency and renewables.
"We're definitely in competition. But I don't feel threatened by natural gas because I feel we can compete with them," said Marion Loomis, executive director of the Wyoming Mining Association.
Pollution actions
While some Republicans hailed the election of Massachusetts' Scott Brown to a U.S. Senate seat as the eventual death knell to climate change regulation in Congress, President Barack Obama is forging ahead with several administrative actions that could ultimately be much more significant for coal.
The Environmental Protection Agency is considering new rules to limit emissions of mercury, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and ozone under the Clean Air Act. Many of the rule-making actions stem from EPA findings and U.S. Supreme Court rulings during the Clinton and Bush administrations.
And some believe it is the EPA's proposed rule change for sulfur dioxide that could be most significant to the coal industry in the short term.
In November, the EPA proposed to replace 38-year-old standards for SO2 emissions with a new, one-hour standard of up to 150 parts per billion and perhaps as low as 50 ppb, representing a major cut in SO2 emissions.
Sulfur dioxide can cause upper-respiratory health problems and contributes to acid rain.
Ned Ford, energy chairman of the Sierra Club's Ohio chapter, said the cost to meet the proposed SO2 emissions at coal-burning power plants could force many utilities to switch to energy efficiency and "real" renewable sources of energy.
"Retrofitting an old plant would just about double its cost of operation, not to mention that scrubbers reduce efficiency and increase fuel use," Ford told the Star-Tribune.
Ford argues that the average cost of efficiency is about half the cost of using an old coal plant that needs a new scrubber. Even power plants that currently burn low-sulfur Powder River Basin coal would still have to add scrubbers, if the new SO2 standard is implemented, Ford said.
He said the Powder River Basin might maintain only a "marginal" advantage over higher-sulfur, Eastern bituminous coals.
However, "That could be wiped out in a heartbeat by transportation costs when oil prices rise," Ford warned.
Mining logistics
Each day, some 75 of the nation's longest trains roll empty into the Powder River Basin and squeeze under silos to take on 18,000 tons of subbituminous coal each. Most disperse south to Texas and eastward across the nation, delivering their payloads to power plants, electrifying nearly a quarter of the nation.
With more than 100 square miles of some of the thickest coal seams on earth, it's hard not to compare the Powder River Basin to Saudi Arabia's oil wealth.
"At current rates of roughly 450 million tons per year, Powder River Basin reserves would support over 400 years of continuous coal production," University of Wyoming economics professor Tim Considine wrote in his recent study, "Powder River Basin Coal: Powering America."
Yet, some believe such statements obscure the down-to-earth logistics of such a feat, and leave a false impression that relying on Powder River Basin coal for the next 400 years is a simple a matter of choice.
"Hoping that (Powder River Basin) coal will continue to power our country as it has increasingly from 1980 to the present, without doing a rigorous analysis of the geologic, economic, legal and transportation constraints, is not doing the industry or our country a favor," said Leslie Glustrom of the Clean Energy Action group in Boulder, Colo.
Rather, Glustrom argues, it leaves the U.S. vulnerable to being blind-sided by coal supply constraints much like China is now experiencing, forcing that country to idle plants and ramp up coal imports.
She said production in all of the top 15 coal states has peaked, except for Wyoming and Montana. Beyond 10 years in Wyoming, the big-producer mines in the southern Powder River Basin face significant geologic and economic constraints, not the least of which is the need to remove more overburden to chase downward-sloping coal seams.
The Black Thunder mine, now mining 282 feet of overburden, according to the Bureau of Land Management, will move to a lease sometime around 2020 where the top of coal is 428 feet down. The North Antelope Rochelle mine, in roughly the same period, will move from about 211 feet of overburden to about 347 feet.
"This means that future supplies of coal from the (Powder River Basin) are not likely to be as cheap as those that have been accessed over the last three decades," Glustrom said.
Passing on costs
Considine's own study confirms that labor productivity is on the decline in the Powder River Basin. In fact, Powder River Basin coal mines actually added miners in 2009 while production declined, according to figures from the Mine Safety and Health Administration.
Aside from taxes, royalties and payroll, the largest mining expense reported by Powder River Basin mines in 2008 was "fuel supplies and services" to the tune of $538.5 million, according to Considine.
The same is true of all the nation's coal resources. The cheap and easy stuff has already been had, Glustrom said. And the expenses are passed on to the customer.
In South Dakota, Black Hills Power is asking for a 26.6 percent rate increase. A big portion of that would go to pay for about half of the cost — $128.5 million — of the new WyGen coal-fired power plant in Gillette.
Increased fuel prices were listed as a significant factor in Rocky Mountain Power's 2010 filing for a 13.7 percent rate hike for its Wyoming customers.
"The largest increase in fuel cost is for coal," said Rocky Mountain Power spokesman Jeff Hymas.

Hi to everyone,
We convert all type of Valves and Actuators that we need into a Catalog with Custom Geometry.
Once insert into spec to use in the drawing, some times actuators appear as was created and some time appear big, Giant.
Where is the problem or what is the solution?
check if you're using the same units in blocks and drawings
yes, I´m using the same units in each drawing, I mean, same units in Block and Plantpartconvert Drawing and same units when insert in the 3D pipe Drawings.
check this :
somewhere there must be a mix-up in units
Thanks Peter.. now work well
If you are using Mixed Metric Project, when you are going to create custom valves you´ll should create valve block into a mm .dwg and actuators into a inches .dwg
A trick is generate a mm .dwg with valve and actuator in right position an generate plantpartconvert of valves only.
for actuator you need to generate a new empty .dwg in inches and insert last mm .dwg where you got valves and actuator in mm as xRef into inches .dwg. after do this, bind the xRef inserted from External Reference Manager and delete all valves.
With this last step you got all actuators in right position and in inches, well scaled to start Plantpartconvert to each one.
thanks again Peter...!!
I have the same issue, with the actuator being a giant.
However, my project is in metric, my drawings and blocks are metric. And when i first inserted the valve with actuator, it was fine. But now the actuator behaves like it is in inches. A giant in size and further away from the valve. Also when i insert the component, the existing one which was fine, also gets the new giant actuator.
Any idea how i should proceed? I've tried to change the width and height of the actuator in spec editor without fortune.
Basically, i've tried everything i can think of.
Thanks for your help
The wierd thing is. First component i insert into the drawing is in the correct size. But the second one is always huge.
and if i place it, the first ones actuator becomes the same giant size as well. Same on all drawings. First is ok. Second not.
All things are in mm. Any ideas are welcome.

Sega has confirmed our report from earlier this week that Obsidian Entertainment is creating an RPG based on the Alien franchise.
"The role playing game", explains Sega, "will build upon the distinctive look and feel of the original films while utilising next-generation technology to create an entirely different and unique Alien experience."
We've no further details at this time, but obviously we'll bring you more as soon as we get it. And presumably with Obsidian confirmed as the developer of the Alien RPG, the previous report that Gearbox will be handling the announced Alien FPS is on the money - but we're still awaiting word on that.

Has anyone had any experience using this tablet wuth autocad or Revit
Sorry, no.
Thanks for that
I've tried Wacom Bamboo Pen&Touch and Trust TB-7300 for drawing in AutoCAD LT 2010.
Is there anything you would like to know?
I'd like to know if the Wacom worked well with CAD or Inventor? Could you program the buttons for common events, like Line?
What other programs did you test it with? I am keen to know if it really works as well on Mac, so which system did you use it on?
I'm using Windows XP.
First, about Wacom Pen&Touch:
I had to install the update for Windows XP because the driver from the CD wasn't so recent. I've tried with AutoCAD and it worked well. I set the two buttons of the pen for zoom-in/zoom-out and it's sufficiently intuitive. The tablet has also Touch functions (like in a laptop mouse pad) including zooming and rotate gestures (like an Iphone) but I found the touch functions far few precise and slow to what is required in CAD drafting. The tablet side buttons can be set to a limited number of functions (you can't do macros with it), as you can check in page 50 of the instructions manual in http://www.wacom.com/downloads/manuals/Bamboo%20Us
It feels very comfortable. There was a problem (that can be fixed to a certain extent, I believe): when you fetch a snap and move the pen down to click, sometimes you lose the snap and click on the side; 1 or 2 milimeters that you have to move the pen down to click were enough to lose the snap (at least for me). How can this be solved? A) Possibly with further practice - I tried it only for 2 weeks ad each day I got better; possibly with some more time the problem would faint; nevertheless, this was the reason that made me change to the Trust TB-7300, because this one has four times the area of this Wacom, so your movements get far more precise. B) Changing the snap settings in AutoCAD so that you can use less precision; I believe that being so you must zoom more times to be able to distinguish close snap points; personally I didn't want this option because in the kind of drafting that I do I prefer to have a broader view when changing details, so I prefer to use more precision when snapping to be able to change details out-zoomed. C) Using Autohotkey to "freeze" your mouse cursor before clicking; you would need to use an extra button (for example, the tablet side buttons that I found easy to use and big enough to not need looking at them) to "freeze" before clicking; I didn't try it, and even with Trust TB-7300 I'll try to implement this "freeze" tool, because the lack of precision makes me check more often the points I clicked, making drafting more boring.
Now, about Trust TB-7300:
Seems not as soft and solid as Wacom, but for me is completely good enough. Has tow scroll-wheels, that can be used to zoom-in/zoom-out in AutoCAD, but forces you to take your hand out of the keyboard - as I use many keyboard commands ( nearly don't use the toolbars) I don't find the scroll-wheels useful when drafting; they're more useful when reading a pdf or scrolling through a text document. About customizable buttons, you have 34 around the tablet, which aren't buttons to press with your finger, they are rectangles to be clicked with the pen. I don't use them, because I prefer doing the commands with the keyboard, but if you like it you can customize them; even though you can configure a specific small pop-up balloon to appear when the cursor is over each of the buttons, you should practice some time to get enough precision to use the buttons, or you should take a galance at the tablet each time until you don't need to do it. Each button can be active or not; maybe a good option is to put an inactive button between each two active buttons, so that you miss less times the target; anyway, you have 34, I suppose you won't need them all. The two buttons of the pen can't be natively set to zoom-in/zoom-out in AutoCAD (like the Wacom did), but I worked it around wit hte following Autohotkey script:
; Buttons of pen must be set to produce right and middle click - this can be made in the tablet settings
#IfWinActive AutoCAD
Click WheelUp
Sleep, 5
Click WheelUp
Sleep, 100
while GetKeyState("Mbutton","P")
Click WheelUp
Sleep, 5
#IfWinActive AutoCAD
Click WheelDown
Sleep, 5
Click WheelDown
Sleep, 100
while GetKeyState("Rbutton","P")
Click WheelDown
Sleep, 5
; What follows lets Ctrl key enable right and middle click
#IfWinActive AutoCAD
+Mbutton:: Click middle
#IfWinActive AutoCAD
+Rbutton:: Click right
; You should adjust AutoCAD settings (like zoomfactor and zoomwheel) and the values of sleep above to match your preferences.
I purchased a Wacom Bamboo with plans to use the "Sketchbook" software in the package. I have a brand new iMac desktop version 10.7.1 with an Intel processor.
I have tried several times to install the software for the sketchbook and it won't install. I thought I followed all the directions. The sketchbook was the main reason I bought the Bamboo...

Hello. I can relate to SO much on here. My Mom passed away almost 1 month ago. She was just 6 days short of 72. My sister and I are having such a hard time dealing with it. My Mom was in and out of the hospital for 4 plus months with aspiration pneumonia, congestive heart failure, COPD, high blood sugar, etc. It seemed like every step forward she made, she took two steps back. But she did get better. That is one of the things that is so upsetting. It wasn't one of the things listed above that took her, it was a bedsore that led to MRSA, that led to C-Diff infection. The care she received at the hospital and nursing home was horrible. The hospital overmedicated her, then did a swallow test, which of course she failed. She then had a feeding tube put in. Physical therapy consisted of lifting her up and putting her in a recliner next to her bed, which I am sure led to the bedsore. My sister is thinking we should file a lawsuit. At one point the nursing home put her too close to the edge of the bed and she fell out and broke her nose. The thought of never seeing her again is overwhelming to me. There has not been one day go by that I haven't cried. She was also having a problem with dementia and had withdrawn so much. Her short term memory was pretty much gone. My sister and I cared for her like she was a child, brushing her teeth, picking out her clothes, etc. I have never really been a religous person, but am SO hoping there is an afterlife. I talk to my Mom everyday and have begged her to visit me at least once, just so I will know she is okay. We weren't with her when she passed either. We had been with her most of the night, and she kept opening her eyes, agitated and whispering "Help me". The nurse came in to clean her up because the C-diff infection caused her to have diarreah. They told us that her vitals were all good. We went back in the room and she was sleeping peacefully. We decided to go home and get a good nights sleep and come back the next day. She passed away the next morning. My sister and I both realized that we didn't think she was going to die. We shoud have, but she had come back so many times during this. I just wish I had a chance to do so many things over. My Mom lived alone and didn't drive. She enjoyed bingo, euchre, sitting outside with friends. I wish I had visited her more, but I was always "so busy". Now I am wondering what I was so busy doing. Since she has been gone I feel like I have nothing but time on my hands and I hate it. I feel restless, raw and exposed. Mother's Day is coming and it makes me so sad. I don't think we even made a big deal out of it last year. Oh, I'm sure I called her and said Happy Mother's Day, but that was probably it. Why? I guess I just thought she would be here forever. I used to lecture her when she would complain, telling her "it could always be worse" and "you need to take better care of yourself". I am 45, I should be dealing with this better. I feel like a little girl that has lost her Mommy. I tell her everyday now how much I love her, how proud I am of her and how I wish I had been a bettr daughter. I just hope she hears me. Sorry this is so long. I am sure many people quit reading a long time ago, if you finished, thanks for listening. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Sorry you are feeling so badly about your Mother's death. This will also be my first Mother's Day without a mother. Mine died in August at age 91 after 50 years of having MS. You cannot and should not 'beat yourself up' about coulda, shoulda. You might want to check for a 'grief therapy' group - I have found it helpful. Write all the facts down as you and your sister can recall them with a time line, if possible; then contact a lawyer and have them read your notes and let the lawyer determine whether or not you have grounds for a lawsuit. Carolyn (whose husgand died 2/13/09 of esophageal cancer) |
First let me give my condolences, my mother also passed away exactly one month ago today and i have written a post here. She was 61 and died in her sleep at home peacefully. Even though she was young i am greatly thankful that she did not suffer of anything. Your mother lived a full life and by the sounds of things she was suffering at the end, you should actually be happy for her, shes free and with no pain right now. Why should she suffer with tubes and medication and pain? What kind of life is that? |

I'm so sorry for your loss. My own personal free advice is to put up your thickest skin when you read or hear things with a "scolding" tone, & ignore the "advice". Although it might have been "her time", I'd be doing the same as you are, wondering if the poor care & mishandling contributed to it, & beating myself up for having gone home. But... I have an inkling that our presence may somehow tie our loved ones here, that they cannot leave until we are out of the room. My aunt's husband told her, "Please go home, Honey. Take a nap & come back later. I've *got* to get some rest, & I can't rest with you here." She went home & took a shower & was napping when the hospital called her to tell her he was gone. & I bet your mom did the same thing. & given what you wrote of her condition & what she'd been through ("in and out of the hospital for 4 plus months with aspiration pneumonia, congestive heart failure, COPD, high blood sugar, etc. It seemed like every step forward she made, she took two steps back"), "help me" may have meant "please help me get out of here & get some peace". Take care of yourself. |
Oh, Deb, I know exactly how you feel. My mother passed away on Sept. 22, 2008, and I am still in a complete grief -stricken fog. Actually, my father (7 years older than Mom) had been ill, not Mom. He had a series of strokes over the past few years and we had just recently had to go to nursing home care. She was diligent about taking him what he would eat two times a day. My mom was 75, but still had the most beautiful strawberry-blonde hair (how did that happen? I haven't seen my natural color since I was 17!) anyway, she had never been in the hospital except to have the three of us. She did have some lung issues as of late (smoker) and had had MRSA in 2007. I will never, ever believe that the MRSA didn't have a great deal to do with her death. Anyway, I called on that Thursday night and knew immediately that something was wrong...badly wrong. I called for help (I live 2 hrs. away) and jumped in the car to go to her....the dr. called my cell and said to go back, they had to air-lift her to my city. She had zero blood pressure on arrival there, and they didn't think she'd make it here. She was gone by 2:50am on Monday. I watched her suffer horribly. Although they gave me no hope, they did try to save her. Putting her in hospice was the most terrible day. She was only there about 7 hours. She died of sepsis and multi-organ failure. The ER doc finally told me (after waiting 7 hrs in a chair, trying to keep her from going nuts) that she was going to die. I didn't want her to know. I know that's crazy, but I didn't want her to be afraid. Telling my Daddy, the love of her life (56 years), that she was gone was the worst. He died 5 days later. I feel orphaned, too. At age 50! One lady told me that you don't grow up until you lose your mother. Mom's mom lived to 99; she never thought she wouldn't live that long, either. I dream horrible dreams every night...don't sleep at all. Finally I'm under a dr's care and am seeing a counselor (A HUGE HELP). With Mother's Day this Sunday, I just want to hibernate and that's not fair to MY children (I have 5 and 5 grandbabies). I am trying to get to the chore of finishing cleaning their home (the only place they ever lived) and selling it. Oh, my. Sorry this is so long, Deb, but I completely know what you are going through. I still have notes to write. I cry ALL the time. Poor dh, he's being patient, but I hate it for him. I can't stand helicopters flying over....I lose it every time I hear one. My counselor said to take care of ME. It's hard to do, isn't it? I found this today....I'm sure I'll be back on this forum. God bless everyone here dealing with death. Oh, I found goldmine...I found boxes and boxes of letters from Mom to Dad and from Dad to Mom while she was in college at Stephens in Missouri....they are the most wonderful letters! So precious and loving. No wonder he couldn't live without her! I am so very thankful to have this window into a love story from the early 1950's. These will be treasured forever! |
Thank everyone so much for your responses! My heart goes out to every one of you. It has been one month and two days since Mom passed away. Some days are better then others. There are times I think I am handling it, then I see a reminder of her and feel like screaming inside. Sometimes I have to go into the bathroom at work just to take a few minutes to cry. I thought today was going to be the first day since she died that I haven't cried, but once I started typing this, the tears came. I had no idea that I would miss her so much. I agree with everyone that I in no way wanted her to suffer and I know she was. I think it is just seeing the death certificate list the cause as: MRSA, Sepsis, C Diff-all things that she got from the result of a bedsore-not the pneumonia, cong. heart failure that she went in with. I know I need to get over the bitterness of it all. It doesn't do any good. I do talk to her a lot and hope she hears me. I also find myself looking for "proof" that she is around me, such as a chair being moved, etc. Silly, I know. Again, thanks for the responses and I am sorry for everyone's losses. |
Deb, its not silly, i actually did the same. I asked my mum to move something in the room to give me a sign that shes ok but i realized later on that its probably not fair to ask a spirit to do that, perhaps they cant. But they are around you, you just have to feel them. |

Deb, ...and all the other daughters dreading Mother's Day. It is a symbolic day started by a loving daughter and decreed by the government as official...but from the sound of your letters, everyday was Mother's Day for your moms. You took care of them the best you could and loved them every day, they knew it and so do you. We all go through the what if's and the why didn't I's you know. My mother was 81 when her mom died at 104 and mother never got over (she died at 89) the thought that she should have spent more time with her mother, even though she saw her every day and cleaned her house and washed her clothes and did all she could to make her happy. I too thought my mother would live on and on, never dreaming she would fall over dead in her wing chair as we were having dinner....what a surprise, and why was that a surprise?? She was 89 and had some health issues but I couldn't picture mother, that ball of energy, always there, being dead. Impossible. We even had a little tiff hours before she died. She had climbed on a stool to fix her Regular clock and of course I got on to her about that, and of all things, eating too much chocolate candy. How silly. Eat all the candy you want mother. I suffered with that stuff for a long time and finally gave it up as just part of life and relationships. You will all gradually find ease and won't feel that overwhelming awful sadness forever you know. Forgive yourselves for acting like human beings and not saints. Take care. It will get better, I promise. |

lovely thoughts, mary helen. |
Thank you, Mary Helen....so much. |
your post is very moving. deb please do not blame yourself for what you should have done differently as regards to your relationship with your mum and I pray that you will be given the grace to forgive those at the nursing home that hurt your mum. as hard as it may be. yes there is an afterlife. email me at firstname.lastname@example.com (and on the subject put 'afterlife?' so i'll remember who it is) and we can talk more on this. Love, Joseph. |
Oh my goodness, can I relate to your story!!! My mom passed away on June 6th after a month and a half in the hospital. Just like your mom, it was quite a complex hostpital stay. Up until that, I considered her in perfect health. She went in for scleroderma, and a gangrene toe. She was diagnosd with problem after problem and just like you said-for each step forward, she took 2 back. She recovered from atery surgery (to bypass a block to her foot) and an amputated foot just fine. BUt then, had trouble breathing. She was thought to have pneumonia--then a bunch of other things. Her breathign got worse, so they sedated and intubated her in the surgical ICU. When they took the sedative off, 2 days later, to get her brathing on her own, she never woke up. An MRI showed a massive, massive stroke that wiped out half her brain, and several mini strokes that had been occuring for many weeks on the other side. Her prognosis was not good-a vegetable at best. Not able to breath on her own, eat on her own, not aware, no memory, deaf and blind). We removed the brathing tube and she breathed for 45 minutes before dying. A stroke??? None of her many, many illnesses that she had disgnosed with was supposed to kill her. Her death was a shock. I am angry, upset, and in utter disbeleif. I am finding it harder to go on as the days pass. Why is it getting harder, not easier?? |
I am SO sorry for your loss! It has now been about 2 1/2 months since my Mom passed away. Sometimes I feel like I am getting better, sometimes not. For a long time I cried every day. Now it hits me out of nowhere. I literally walked into the bathroom at work yesterday and burst into tears in the stall-no warning, it just happened. I find myself trying to stay busy, busy, busy because I can't stand having alone time to "think". I hope that you have people that you are close to that will help you. I have a sister that feels exactly as I do. My family and friends don't really mention my loss anymore. Sometimes that makes me mad, but I know it is because I don't bring it up. They think I have "moved on", if only they could read my mind and see how sad I still am. I don't know when it will get easier, but I guess in some ways it does. I, too, feel angry and cheated. I try to comfort myself with the fact that her quality of life was poor. I sometimes feel like I could have some sort of PSTD. Only my sister and I know everything that went on for those months and months in the hospital and nursing home. Again, I am sorry for your loss and I didn't mean to turn it back around on me. I know how you feel and you have every right to. I talk to my Mom a lot when I am driving and I have her picture above my visor. Cry when you feel like it and try to stay busy, that's what works for me. I'll be thinking about you. Take care! |

Dear Deb, My heart goes out to you as you try to belileve in a life after this one. My faith was stringhtened by being with my Momma when she died. |
I'm sorry for everyone's losses. I lost my Mom 2 weeks ago. It's all still new to me. It was a sudden death. She had health problems for years but was stable. Now I look back and feel like I was an idiot to think everything was okay. I think guilt and regret are part of loving someone. We all have to lose our parents and we will fight it no matter how it happens. We convince ourselves they will live into their 90's even if there is evidence they won't. My Mom was 72 but I feel that's soooo incredibly young. I feel she had another 20 years at least. Of course, I know people who lost their Mom's at 50 who would think living until 72 is a blessing. So it all depends on your perspective. My Mom died after going into the hospital and it was very fast. I often wonder if she got the right care. I'm pretty sure she didn't but then I guess that's just part of the 2nd guessing that goes on. I will miss my Mom so much that I can't even comprehend living in a world without her. And I'm pretty much all alone too. The only thing that keeps me going is that I know how much she loved me and I know she would want me to find some type of happiness in my life. I'm going to try to do that without her but it's not going to be the same. I wish I could have shared any happiness I find with her. I just wish I could have done so much more for my Mom. |

My heart goes out to you so much. I can relate in many ways. My grandfather was in a nursing home and he had bed sores and loss of memory. I hate nursing homes because they never really give the care they say they will. My father passed suddenly after a fatal car accident on Feb 9th coming home from work to be with my mom. My mom called him and no answer later the hospital called and thats when it all began from there. It is so hard and everyday I think could I have done everything better. Fathers dad will be here soon and its going to be hard to take for sure. I hope you will someday be okay as for myself as well. |
my mom died at 89.i resent not talking to her about her life and generation.i was to busy.now i wonder what i was so busy doing.i was not at my moms bedside at the nursing home when she passed.i had so much guilt that i tried to kill myself.i am 55 years old and wish i had told my mom how much she meant to me. |
my mom was 89 and i have so much guilt not being there when she died.i was at my doctors tring to control my anxiety.i was so busy in life that i did not spend the time to just sit and talk about her life and her generation.i miss her so much |
This post is a tad late..but I just wanted to thank everyone for sharing their stories. I lost my mom almost 8 months ago and thought the grieving had gotten better but have started missing her more and more recently...the stories I've read here have just brought all the memories rushing back. So here I am sitting here with red, puffy eyes but also with deep appreciation for the experiences, reassurances, and kind words everyone has shared. Like everyone, I have strong regrets about the lack of time I spent with my mom. The OP's post 'I wish I had visited her more, but I was always 'so busy'. Now I am wondering what I was so busy doing. Since she has been gone I feel like I have nothing but time on my hands and I hate it. I feel restless, raw and exposed.' rings so true with me and I hate myself for it but I know that helps no one, especially me. The best thing I can do with my regrets is to learn from it. |

My mom just died two weeks ago. We thought she was still tired from the pnuemonia she had two months ago. We took her to the ER because she was weak and retaining fluid. 48 hours later she died....of sepsis. She got a UTI from the cathedar they put in. We got the death certificate today and sepsis was listed as #1. I am so very sad but now I am also angry with the hospital. But why aren't other people angry with the hospitals when their family member dies from sepsis? Everyone just seems to accept that diagnosis. It tore her body apart. I saw my mom every single day and I can't believe she is gone. It really hurts. |

I'm so sorry you lost your dear mother. & get an attorney. That old saw about doctors "burying their mistakes" should't be relevant in this day & age. |

I wish you well for saying exactly what I feel. I just extended my mom's irrigation system so she planted two beautiful flowering plants, but bending down, she got a herniated disk. On top of anemia, emphysema, esophageal stricture, atrial fibrillation, hypertension, hypothyroidism and an incurable vaginitis, she had suffered enough but I CRY EVERY DAY AND WILL NOT EVER STOP UNTIL I KNOW SHE KNOWS I LOVE HER MORE EVERY DAY. Shed died Sunday. She was an artist and loved vistas. I dream she has the best vista ever now and imagine she is waving from on high whenever I look up at the sky |

Top 10 Wes Anderson influences
As if you needed a reminder, the latest film from the always-stylized, super-quirky-in-a-good-way Wes Anderson is out this weekend, and in honor of MOONRISE KINGDOM's release we're hitting the books to bring you some of the outlandish, esoteric and intellectual films that are most definitely in Anderson's canon of influences. Even Wes Anderson detractors would have to recognize that this auteur is desperately in love with his wood-paneled and wallpapered, vinyl record playing, ornate but slightly decrepit universe, and it shows. It's a testament to Anderson's considerable talent that although his style is supremely nostalgic, it is by no means derivative (it's impossible to say he is the new "____"), and his influences therefore only represent slight nuances. So now to begin (cue the Futura title card, bearing the words "Chapter 1:")
The fun of Anderson's films is that they are somewhat hard to place, in that they borrow a little bit from everywhere and every time, but most would agree he dabbles in decades from the 60s to the (early) 80s. And with his brilliant saturations and bright monochromes, no wonder this 1965 animated TV classic is found here: the wistful and melancholy youths of Charles Schulz's world could be not-so-distant cartoon relatives of those in Anderson's. And doesn't Linus Van Pelt sound like it should be the name of an Owen Wilson character?
Check out the rest of the TOP 10 WES ANDERSON INFLUENCES.

I am planning to redo my bathroom and I was looking for a decent bathtub I am getting a contractor to do this project. He is suggested Bootzcast Tub from Homedepot - the material as per the manufacturer is porcelain-on-steel. Cast Iron I understand is very heavy - I am not sure if my floor will be able to support the same. I live in a about 50-60 yr old Ranch style home. This in bathroom is in the home level - below we have a finished basement. Can any one tell me any feedback for Cambridge Americast Bathtub by American Standard as I liked what I saw... Please let me have any feedback-comments-suggestions yuo have. Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
We installed a cast iron tub as part of our reno (2nd floor in a 40+ yr old bi-level/hi-ranch). It is very heavy, but we had the floor joists/supports checked out (by plumber?) and we were good to go. If you are thinking you might prefer a cast iron tub, it might be worth it to find out if your floor joists can support one, before deciding against it. I can't speak to Americast, though a contractor friend had suggested it, and has installed plenty of them. I liked what I'd read about cast iron (with regards to heat retention, and the strength of the enameled coating over cast iron). DH and I also liked the feel (the solidity) of the cast iron tub we looked at in the store (Toto 1525), and we were already very impressed with the Kohler cast iron shower pan we'd had installed in our guest bathroom. We did take a look at some of the Americast and porcelain-on-steel tubs at HD, but preferred the cast iron. FYI, supposedly Toto is not selling, or going to sell residential cast iron tubs anymore, but there are other manuf out there (e.g. Kohler) who do if you decide to go that route after all. |
Thanks for this post 'Cat Mom' - I was wondering if I posted this in the wrong section - so far no one has said anything bad about Americast - I will look into your advice on the floor joist. |
- Posted by palimpsest (My Page) on Fri, Jul 16, 10 at 20:28
I have an Americast tub at the suggestion of my contractor. I have only had it for six months so I can not speak of long term durability. I think it has a decent finish, it is easy to keep clean and it has a better "feel" than an all acrylic tub or a more basic enameled steel tub. Not quite like cast iron, but not plastic or too rattly. The cast iron I took out was definitely quieter, and if weight or the extra cost is not a problem, I would still consider cast iron. However, so far I have been happy with the Americast. |
Thanks palimpsest - my reasons for going for Americast is similar as yours. I dont think we currently have cast iron. i think it is porcelain...i am not wanting to spend too much money and I am not sure if my structure could handle the cast iron weight so finally i would probably go with Americast - i was trying too see if anyone would also be able to tell u if Bootzcast or Americast is better...but never the less thanks anyway |
I dont think enamel over steel is the same as cast iron. Better do some checking on that tub and pin down the contractor. |
- Posted by palimpsest (My Page) on Sat, Jul 17, 10 at 8:41
Enamel over steel as not the same as cast iron, no. Americast is a proprietary finish of American Standard that is a bit different than enameled steel, in my understanding. Most houses of your vintage should be able to carry a cast iron tub of conventional size without a problem structure wise, especially since you are putting it where the old one was. Problems tend to arise in older houses that were not structured for bathrooms and when putting bathrooms in a place where none existed before. |

Eddie Van Halen Has Superhuman Ears
We all know Eddie Van Halen is good with his hands -- and if a story making the rounds about the Van Halen guitarist is accurate, he's been blessed with some pretty sharp ears, too.
We all know Eddie Van Halen is good with his hands -- and if a story making the rounds about the Van Halen guitarist is accurate, he's been blessed with some pretty sharp ears, too.
Eddie Van Halen reprised his solo on 'Beat It' during a stop on the Jacksons' 'Victory' tour.
Eddie Van Halen didn't even get a mention on Michael Jackson's mega-smash album 'Thriller,' which celebrates it's 31 year anniversary today (Nov. 30), despite having a heavy hand in the success of the third radio single. The guitarist says he did the solo on 'Beat It' for free -- and even wound up re-arranging the song while Jackson was out of the room.
Pop and R&B star Michael Jackson was looking to broaden his audience base when he invited Van Halen guitarist Eddie Van Halen to play on a track from the album he was working on as a follow-up to his best-selling 1979 disc 'Off the Wall.'
Van Halen finally returned to the stage over the weekend (April 20) at the Stone Music Festival in Sydney, Australia and look who showed up for the festivities – Joe Perry and Steven Tyler of Aerosmith. Okay, in all fairness, Aerosmith was on the bill as well, but it still made for some great photo ops behind the scenes.
According to Daryl Hall of Hall & Oates, Eddie Van Halen said he copied the synth part from "Kiss on My List", and used it in 1984's "Jump".
Eddie won't be doing much jumping right now, a matter of fact, he's going to need around six weeks to recover from emergency surgery.
Getting Eddie Van Halen to talk about the inspiration behind any of his songwriting efforts is rather difficult, in part because he refuses to take much credit for his work. "I've said plenty of times, I can't claim to ever have really written anything. Because I don't really feel like I'm responsible, it comes through me."
Back in January, Eddie Van Halen donated 75 guitars from his collection to the Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation for use in Los Angeles public schools. In a new interview, Felice Mancini, the foundation's executive director, explains how the transfer took place.
If you hit the pause button during the "Back To The Future" scene where Marty McFly, dressed in a spacesuit, wakes his sleeping father, you will notice the words "Edward Van Halen" on the audio cassette before being loaded into the "walkman".
Now, 27 years after the short-lived DeLorean resurrection later (has it really been that long?), the elusive question on the minds of classic rockers has been answered.
We still don't know when we'll hear him play guitar again, but Eddie Van Halen is putting at least one of his axes to good use right now: he's offering it up for auction, with the proceeds going to benefit the Drop in the Bucket charity — and the winner walking away with a true one-of-a-kind instrument.
The guitar in question is a 1999 Wolfgang Translucent Cherry Sunburst 5A Flametop, autographed by EVH himself and complete with a certificate of authenticity. One of the first Wolfgangs ever produced, it's been owned by Eddie since it was made.

Hey, I hope you guys can help! My friend and I remember this science fiction short story and movie from awhile ago but cannot remember the name for the lives of us. Anyway, its the story of these children in a future where the sun only comes out for a few minutes, once in a lifetime or so, and everyone must use halogen lamps all the time to get sunlight. The story covers the one time the sun comes out, and I think someone keeps this one girl from getting outside when the sun comes out, and she misses it. I think a boy tries to bring her back a flower, but it dies anyway. I could have the facts wrong, but does anyone know what I'm talking about? We're really grateful if you know!!!
