A Veil of Misery,
This review is from: Mother's Milk (Paperback)
Mother's Milk is the fourth of Edward St Aubyn's quintet of Melrose novels, and although the book can stand alone, it is advisable to read the Some Hope trilogy beforehand, as its torrid backstory illuminates the causes of Patrick's discontent. The present narrative drifts over four consecutive Augusts and runs from 2000 to 2003. St Aubyn employs multiple perspectives and channels the family's disintegration through the outlets of Patrick, Mary (his wife), and Robert, their eldest son. But this new epoch offers no redemption for Patrick, his life a confusion of marriage, adultery, and kids.
Patrick's problems with the Melrose brood are legion: Mary mollycoddles their newborn son Thomas; his mother, Eleanor, has disinherited him in favour of a New Age sect called the Transpersonal Foundation; and Robert, analytic and introverted, is a gifted clone of his father, an outcome for which Patrick carries the blame. The viciousness of Patrick's responses to these situations highlights his father's ominous influence. But his neurotic avoidance of replicating David's insidious faults hinders him from being a good father, as he wastes too much time in cerebral, drunken reflection rather than delivering practical, loving care. The book, then, charts Patrick's unsuccessful negotiations among those vying for (or deflecting) his attention, negotiations which he fails to perform convincingly. The novel's prose is stunning, insightful and aphoristic, but there are some troubling discontinuities between this book and the previous three. In the 1990 of Some Hope, Patrick is thirty, while in the year 2000, the year in which Mother's Milk commences, he is forty-two. The combined effect of the inconsistencies is jarring. If they are a genuine oversight by St Aubyn, then fine; but if they are not, then what is their significance? Ultimately, though, it is a rather depressing read. The comedy is lacklustre, and while Patrick's arguments with Seamus, the New Age charlatan, may be hilarious, they are the only islands of fun in this sea of despondency. St Aubyn writes movingly of the decaying relationship between Patrick and his moribund mother, and although her enfeeblement elicits his most stinging vitriol, the emotional to-and-fro with assisted suicide is both honest and revealing. But its placing at the denouement only resettles the veil of misery draped over the entire book, a veil that will hopefully be drawn aside in the final instalment.

Painfully hilarious,
This review is from: Mother's Milk (Hardcover)
The story is painful; the setting all too familiar and real; writing suffused with irony, metaphors and witticisms - behold Mother's Milk. Hermoine Lee, the chair of the judges of this year's Booker entries, described this book as "wickedly funny." And she would be right.
I began this book with no particular enthusiasm, but a little research on the internet gave me enough background about the author to place the work in its context. And this work centres around one theme - the place of a mother in, and how it pervades into the depth of every aspect of, a simple family. Patrick Melrose is suffering from a midlife crisis. His wife, Mary, has just given birth to her second son, Thomas, and has become extremely close to him - to the point of sacrificing her sexual, and to some extent, emotional connection with her husband. Patrick, the lawyer, successfully manages to pass on his sarcasm and twisted daggers of wit straight to his precocious first son, Robert, who, by the age of five, becomes a master in impersonating other people. While St Aubyn takes us through the functioning of this rather functional family, we see each character in relation to their mother, and how it has shaped their past, present, and future. The contrast between self-sacrificing Mary's self-obsessed mother and the betrayed and disappointed Patrick's philanthropist and neglectful mother is incisive. The novel touches among various aspects of contemporary family life, particularly of parenting, marriage, relationships, trust, adultery, and euthanasia. The novel is described through wide-ranging narratives during four summers of 2000 to 2003. The beauty of St Aubyn's prose lies in his choice of the person through whom he narrates each section. At first, we hear the funny and sometimes deceptively cruel Robert, and his slow transformation into the persona that is his father. Then comes Patrick himself, with his disappointment with his wife, his self-loathing, and the guilt he feels about committing adultery. Third comes Mary, and we see the maternal side to St Aubyn's story. The final summer is rather nondescript, and serves its purpose well. The lack of any ciches, be it in the plot, the prose, or the characters, came as a welcome relief. The normality of the characters was most striking. One cannot elevate the moral stature of any character; nor would the intelligent reader. If he did, he is missing the author's loud and clear message. The criticisms of the so-called New Age practices, and of the American lifestyle, particularly in the post 9/11 era, or as Patrick calls it, the 9/12 era, are well-founded, and in a style much reminiscent of Oscar Wilde mercilessly dissecting Victorian hypocrisies in his play, are explored with unabashed saracasm. This book may not linger on in your mind as a powerful and evocative novel. But, it does have several thought-provoking ideas which merit consideration... If that is not good enough for you, you ought to read this novel for the sheer beauty of St Aubyn's prose.

Mother's Milk,
By S Riaz "S Riaz" (England) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (TOP 10 REVIEWER)
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Mother's Milk (The Patrick Melrose Novels) (Kindle Edition)
Following on from the Patrick Melrose trilogy (The Patrick Melrose Trilogy), we meet Patrick again when he is 42. This novel takes place over four summers, from the birth of Patrick's second son, Thomas, to his third year. Although this book can be read alone, it makes more sense if you have read the trilogy first and I would urge you to do so. As much of the first three books were about, either directly or indirectly, Patrick's relationship with his father, we now move on to the non relationship with his mother, Eleanor.
When we first meet Patrick, at the age of five, he is living in France with his abusive and unpleasant father and his alcoholic mother, Eleanor. Having been through drug addiction, Patrick's self destructive behaviour has led him to inherit Eleanor's alcoholism. As always, his sense of injustice is heightened by his parents behaviour - in this case, Eleanor's disinheriting his sons, Robert and Thomas, and leaving his childhood home to a man who is running a self help, new age centre. The family are supposed to be able to use the house for a holiday in the summer, but Patrick's sense of acute anger and misery makes the whole event something of an endurance test and you can easily understand why his wife, Mary, retreats into the more uncomplicated love she shares with Thomas. The finale of these exruciating holiday trips is an ill advised attempt to holiday in the States. Edward St Aubyn writes such stunning and beautiful prose the book is a delight. You are instantly aware of what each person is thinking and feeling and he writes of what the children are experiencing and thinking with intensity. Robert is obviously a gifted and bright little boy, but St Aubyn uses Thomas's more uncomplicated and valid feelings, as the book progresses. This whole novel, in fact, encompasses far more points of view than the earlier books, which are told mainly from Patrick's point of view. I liked Mary and sympathised with her, while still seeing Patrick's point of view, as I was familiar with his life story and why he was attuned to find doom in every event and retreat into sarcasm as an armour. Although the book sounds depressing, there are many humourous moments in all of the books. The trip to America, in particular, had me laughing out loud. Patrick is so unpleasant, so funny, so vulnerable, that he is one of my favourite fictional characters. I rate all these books highly and I am looking forward to the last book in the series, At Last with great anticipation.

Style and substance,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Mother's Milk (Hardcover)
This is a beautifully written and sharply comic short novel. The main pleasure of reading this novel is St Aubyn's precision with words; there's rarely a wasted sentence, and long winded and pointless descriptions of the environment or the characters that inhabit it are refreshingly absent. He is a prose stylist like John Banville, but the scales tip more to the comic than the tragic with St Aubyn's writing, and as a result the plot and characters seem a bit insubstantial at times. In many ways, overlooking the sex and language, Mother's Milk is a very Edwardian novel in the way it treats these fairly unlikeable upper class English characters--at times dismissive but sympathetic to their plights. The narratives of Robert, Patrick and Mary are crisp, wry and often very funny. Robert's entry to the world in the first section of the book is a sharp and startling introduction to the novel. Whilst it is not a book that will linger long in the mind of the reader, it is nonetheless a rewarding read.

milk and honey,
This review is from: Mother's Milk (Hardcover)
Mother's Milk is the most recent to date of St Aubyn's books centred on the family he has written about before. Shortlisted for 2006's Booker Prize, the story sees Patrick, lawyer and husband, juggling his love for his two new sons with his alarm at his wife Mary's distance now that she sees herself as a mother and not a wife. Mary is besotted with sons Robert and Thomas and weary from the demands of motherhood. Also on the scene are Patrick's mother, who is determined to seek retribution for the snooty arrogance of her own mother by embracing charitable causes, and can't see that she is repeating the same pattern set by her own mother in frittering her children's inheritance on anyone but her children. The charitable cause in question is the hippyesque healing community run by Seamus, a convincing Irish charmer, in the French mansion that Patrick's mother has bequeathed to him.
The prose is beautiful - complex in parts, unconventional, thought-provoking and peceptive about the feelings and thoughts of both small kids and a piqued husband. The former is something most male authors don't attempt - putting into words the charm of small children has been almost exclusively in the domain of female writers. St Aubyn manages to do this without resorting to cloying, nauseating, twee cliches: there is no cooing over the cuteness of tiny fingers or dimples here, no metaphorical and painful pinching of cheeks. Some have criticised the children's comments as being too mature for their age, but for me, they worked perfectly and acted as a reference to the fact that children are often far more aware of their surroundings and far more intelligent and perceptive than adults give them credit for. St Aubyn is also very convincing on Patrick, an alcoholic, and, crucially, he manages to describe the destructiveness of the addiction without being depressing and grey, like James Kelman in the almost unreadable How Late It Was , How Late, or Gerard Woodward in the brave but still dismal I'll Go to Bed at Noon. In fact, there are parts that are downright funny, like the drunken outing to the off-licence to replace a botle of whisky that Patrick has been surreptitiously slugging. The tug of conscience between duty and selfishness as regards thoughts on his aged mother who Patrick sulkily feels has let him down are also insightfully and sometimes hilariously drawn. Patrick manages to be selfish but not wildly dislikeable - he has no guilt feelings about his infidelity, and even Mary accepts it with resigned stoicism- and yet somehow his vulnerability as regards his alcoholism and his obvious love for his sons save him from becoming an ogre. The peripheral characters are also captured exquisitely: Margaret, the clucking, know-it-all and somewhat bovine child minder in particular is a delight. So, five stars and a round of applause for St Aubyn's book

Good News,
By John Self "www.theasylum.wordpress.com" (Belfast, NI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mother's Milk (Hardcover)
Edward St Aubyn's writing has reached a new maturity in Mother's Milk which is glorious to witness, not least in the opening scene which is a remarkable and original account of being born - torn from the womb into the 'loud desert' of life - by a highly precocious baby.
"The strange thing was that he felt as if he had been there before. He had known there was an outside all along. He used to think it was a muffled watery world out there and that he lived at the heart of things. Now the walls had tumbled down and he could see what a muddle he had been in. How could he avoid getting in a new muddle in this hammeringly bright place? How could he kick and spin like he used to in this heavy atmosphere where the air stung his skin? "Yesterday he had thought he was dying. Perhaps he was right and this was what happened. Everything was open to question, except the fact that he was separated from his mother. Now he realised there was a difference between them, he loved his mother with a new sharpness. He used to be close to her. Now he longed to be close to her. The first taste of longing was the saddest thing in the world. "He was an inconsolable wreck. He couldn't live with so much doubt and so much intensity. He vomited colostrum over his mother and then in the hazy moment of emptiness that followed, he caught sight of the curtains bulging with light. They held his attention. That's how it worked here. They fascinated you with things to make you forget about the separation." And all in all, right from the start, Mother's Milk turns out to be an extraordinary thing, a virtuoso balancing act of disgust and compassion, all to the background tinkling of some of the most beautiful, perfectly weighted writing (and jokes) I've read in ages. It's all about the dreads and joys of families - rather like the Some Hope trilogy, to which it is a stand-alone sequel - with a soupcon of the New Age satire with which St Aubyn occupied himself in his non-Melrose novels, On the Edge and A Clue to the Exit. It starts with the tenderly comic birth scene mentioned above, and ends at the other end of life, with tragedy and muted reconciliation. "She suddenly felt that both ends of life were absolutely terrifying, with a quite frightening stretch in between." There are literally so many choice chunks I would like to extract - from Patrick's horrorstruck rediscovery of America, through his petulant and sarcastic arguments with the Irish 'shaman' in whose favour Patrick has been disinherited, to second child Thomas's brilliantly observed toddler-talk - that to do so would turn this into one of those Martin Amis pieces on Saul Bellow, where all he does is drop quote after quote. So I won't. Read it yourself instead and get in on the ground floor of what should, by all rights, be one of the novels of the year.

A bit of a disappointment......,
This review is from: Mother's Milk (Paperback)
Having read and enjoyed his previous trilogy I was really looking forward to Mother's Milk. Sadly, I was very disappointed.
Patrick has now married and has two children. Having been rejected emotionally by his mother (and abused by his father) he now finds himself pushed out by his wife as she seems to devote all her time and energy into being a good mother. His own mother continues to be spiteful and vindictive - she is in the process of handing over her large property in the south of France to a new age charlatan. Young Robert's childish reflections and observations are very funny but surely not age appropriate? Patrick is very self-centred and is sinking into alcoholism and thinking constantly about how he can have sex with one of their house guests. All very tedious. Patrick is now working as a barrister. I have no idea how he achieved this position considering his drug-fuelled, lazy past. It is all a bit uneven - though the best bits involved the appalling Seamus and his crackpot hippy theories. He is a very spiritual person but determined to grab the property and evict Patrick and his family as soon as possible. Some clever writing and some sharp observations but in the end I did not really care enough.

This review is from: Mother's Milk (Paperback)
The writing standard is generally very high, vituperous and biting, about people I would take no pleasure in meeting in real life. Most impressed by St Aubyn's ability to get inside the mind of a clever child. Unusual. I found the novel claustrophobic, but that was an achievement in itself in a strange way.

Stylist of Grinding Despair,
By Ethan Cooper (Big Apple) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mother's Milk (Hardcover)
In his impressive novel SOME HOPE, St. Aubyn's shows a young Patrick Melrose trying to cope with the actions and legacy of his repellent and snobbish father. In MOTHER'S MILK, the sequel, St. Aubyn shows Patrick, now in his forties, trying to cope with two mothers--Eleanor, his own mother, who is lingering pathetically in a nursing home, and Mary, his wife and the mother of his two young sons.
St. Aubyn has crafted these very different mothers so that they have equivalent effects on Patrick. Here, the young and middle-aged Eleanor filled her life with altruistic pursuits, ignoring her son. In contrast, Mary's altruistic and all-consuming activity is motherhood, which once again leads to the abandonment of Patrick. In examining Patrick and these two mothers, St. Aubyn shows considerable skills as a stylist and novelist. The skills show to their best when a character is in contemplative mode--say, the frustrated and lonely Patrick drinking at the beach or Mary with a few precious moments to herself as her demanding younger son naps. This is what I mean: "She sometimes felt she was about to forget her own existence completely. She had to cry to reclaim herself. People who didn't understand thought that her tears were the product of a long suppressed and mundane catastrophe, her terminal exhaustion, her huge overdraft or her unfaithful husband, but they were in fact a crash course in the necessary egotism of someone who needed to get a self back in order to sacrifice it once again." At the same time, the ability to make such observations causes occasional lapses. These are most apparent in numerous conversations, unreal in their articulateness, or in the renderings of children and their profound awareness. In both cases, these read as if St. Aubyn just couldn't pass up making a brilliant or exquisite remark. These are lapses in discipline, not control, and turn St. Aubyn's articulateness against the quality of his work. Regardless, there is much pleasure to be found in this extremely well written novel.

Nine-year 4-H'er Jeremy Weiss sees work to be done and volunteers, often leading the way. That's why the National Council on Youth Leadership recently named him a National Youth Leader. Currently Weiss, a Manson Northwest Webster High School senior, heads up a project with a local outreach center to help five families.
"We are helping the families have a Christmas filled with presents for all, something they would not have otherwise," he said.
Weiss is quick to share honors with others who have helped him work toward goals. The ISU Extension 4-H program "has helped me come out of my shy self to be a more outgoing person and a better communicator," he said.
Weiss lauds 4-H youth/adult partnerships. "Caring adults are what the 4-H program is all about. They have helped me to complete projects, meet new people and learn skills such as leadership and citizenship that I probably could not have gained elsewhere."

Q. Would you say your district is delivering quality services now and what, if any, changes would you make?
The 2015 budget signed into law by Governor Jan Brewer last month contains one important provision some school reformers believe represents a true gamer in the struggle to improve the educational outcomes for all students.
Gilbert Unified School District's governing board voted last week 3-2 to use additional funds in its budget to decrease class sizes for the upcoming school year.
With the need to cut $6 million from its budget next year, the Gilbert Unified School District is looking at shaving school budgets, hiring occupational and physical therapists rather than using contract workers, and raising athletic fees.
Student-athletes in the Gilbert Unified School District could pay higher fees next school year under a plan proposed by school leaders Tuesday.
The rebound is real.
NEW YORK - The nation's retailers spent a glum weekend before Christmas after a much-hoped for sales bonanza failed to materialize, though business at discounters and luxury stores appeared to be brisk, according to analysts.

Firstly, thanks for all the birthday well-wishing. Veritable.. mountains of well-wishing. Though I'd be just as content postponing my birthday until next year. And then maybe the year after that, and after that..
A year older and a year wiser. Well, the latter is debatable. But definitely a year older! This year has been a wild, satisfying, disappointing, exciting one. It marks my first total year as a freelancer, which has been simultaneously one of the most liberating and terrifying career leaps I've ever made. Thankfully, the studio I've ended up working with for the entire year has been a very welcoming one. The workload can be immense, but outside of being paid, there are few rewards greater than seeing your work animated in a game after toiling on it for hours. Getting to visit Barcelona was another fantastic perk.
I really can't complain at all about work, this year. I've worked with the guys from Wayforward, Vigil, did a bit of here-and-there for my old stu

Make love handles, not war!!
What we can all do to end the war in Afghanistan -- and wars everywhere -- is support a soldier boy or girl in getting too plump to any longer be fit enough for the service.
If you know someone who is in the service, once they get back in the states, or before they get a chance to go overseas again, make it your private mission to cook for them and feed them, fatten them up a little. Our husbands, our wives, parents, kids, friends and lovers do not deserve to die in a meaningless war.
Let's help them get nice and plump, so they can stay safe here at home.
In the 60s, the flowerchildren said, "Make love, not war!"
Now, we will shout, "Make love handles, not war!"
Already, the armed forces are having a difficult time recruiting, but if we can fatten up those who might wish to sign up, we can put an end to this useless war... Or at least, we can end the war for those we love tho

1. First of all, have an idea! There's no point in writing if you don't know what you're going to write about, whether it's fanfiction, original fiction, etc. Trust me, I've had my share of stories that crashed and burned because I didn't plan it out. Now I'm not saying you need to write an entire plot diagram illustrating every little thing that happens, just something simple: a beginning, middle, and end. Your beginning should introduce your characters, the setting, the main conflict.&

And isn't that part of the fun of all this -- to enjoy the good feelings of being so ba-a-a-a-a-ad!
Many Christians, though, look down upon us gluttons as some children of the devil or something just too horrible to contemplate. This is nothing more than fat hatred -- and an inability to have fun or let others have fun.
Many will recount that gluttony is considered one of the "Seven Deadly Sins". In reality, though, I think gluttony is not a sin at all. In fact, it may be a virtue.
A few excerpts from an old article on gluttony as a sin (I have put my comments in parentheses):
According to a 1998 Purdue University study, obesity is associated with higher levels of religious participation. Broken down by creed, Southern Baptists have the highest body-mass index on average, Catholics are in the middle, and Jews and other non-Christians are the lowest. When t

Happy ending for a straySo the stray cattle dog named Tasha (see previous 2 journals) went home today just before noon.Happy ending for a stray2 years ago in Personal More Like This
As the owner approached her she was as skittish as ever, but then she began to stare, and came up to the door of the kennel. He opened the kennel and sat down and the dog crawled over and put her head in his lap.
By the time they left she was calmly standing up on him seeking attention, her tail went from tucked to relaxed, and she jumped right into the car as if she had done so only yesterday.
After 2 years of being missing, likely running feral, she remembered him.
A phone call hours later brought more good news.
His wife cried upon seeing the dog, so grateful to have her back.
Their toy poodle, whom Tasha grew up with, at first did not seem to know her but then it's tail began to wag and the little dog got all happy... the poodle remembered her!
Their new dog, a cattle dog mix they rescued long after Tasha went missing, seems to be doing well, not exactly friends but not enemies, which in

So, I checked out all your submissions and in the end I couldn't decide between two OCs that I really liked. So I asked RatofDrawn for his opinion (without telling him my choices) and he came up with the exact same result!
So this is why there will be two winners for this little competition (ladies first):
:iconTawnyFox6512: and :iconRayhiros:
SorbetBerry's OC Brushfire excited both RatofDrawn and me with the stunning and beautiful color scheme. I really love the soft coat color and the fiery mane. I'm usually not a big fan of accessories, but her hairbands really give the whole design a nice touch.
Rayhiros provided me with 3 OCs to choose from and while all his designs appeal to my taste, Banana Split amazed me the most. The whole character seems so fitting. Ponies in clothes and with contrasting hair colors are a tricky thing but the vest and shirt really suit him and the hair looks

UK department store operator House of Fraser today (7 January) reported record sales over the Christmas period, with like-for-like sales rising 6.3%.
Sales increased across all of the group's categories during the six weeks to 5 January, with a strong performance in fashion and beauty. House brands were up 10%.
The retailer posted "record breaking" online sales, jumping 48%. It also saw record sales in the fortnight prior to Christmas.
For the first ten weeks of the fourth quarter, like-for-like sales, excluding VAT, were up 5.2%.
Company chairman Don McCarthy said: "The positive sales trends experienced in our third quarter have continued throughout the festive period and we are pleased to report another record performance despite a more competitive environment."
The performance demonstrates the steps House of Fraser has taken to improve its online offer, develop house brands and invest in stores, McCarthy emphasised.
"There is no doubt that 2012 was a challenging year in retail and it remains difficult to predict when economic conditions and consumer sentiment will improve.
"However, with the strong sales performance in the period and a close focus on margins and operational efficiencies, we expect to report growth in full year earnings in line with previous indications.
"Given the sales performance, we also expect to finish the year with a cleaner stock position and are well placed to deliver further growth in 2013."

To help ensure continued access to Queensland's digital public records, Queensland State Archives is dealing with the challenges of deterioration of storage media, obsolescence of software and hardware, as well as the complexities associated with authenticity and integrity of digital records.
The QSA Government Recordkeeping team have been looking at how we do things and how we can make it easier for public authorities to manage their public records. We're working with our clients to make sure we are 'Keeping records together'.
On 1 January QSA released the 1984 Cabinet Minutes.
Watch an interview with historian Dr Jonathan Richards in which he discusses the political landscape of Queensland in 1984, when Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen was at the height of his powers.
Nursing CampaignOn 14 January 1946, Campbell Advertising submitted campaign slides to the Department of Health and Home Affairs aimed recruiting at trainee nurses. The campaign was designed to encourage girls to choose nursing as a career over office or retail work. The slides were to be exhibited throughout Queensland theatres for a twelve week campaign in 1947.

For example, the Dutch Medical Association (KNMG) wants to loosen the definition of "unbearable suffering" for euthanasia qualification to include non-medical issues. From a Radio Netherlands Worldwide report:
Until now, factors such as income or a patient's social life played almost no role when physicians were considering a euthanasia request. However, the new guidelines will certainly change that. After almost a year of discussions, the KNMG has published a paper which says a combination of social factors and diseases and ailments that are not terminal may also qualify as unbearable and lasting suffering under the Euthanasia Act.
These social factors include matters such as "loneliness," strained "financial resources," and a "loss of social skills."
There is no punishment for physicians and other persons if they provide information about suicide. Physicians are also legally permitted to refer patients to information that is available on the Internet or to publications sold by book vendors, or provide these on loan, and to discuss this information with patients.
But what about Dutch doctors who are morally opposed to euthanasia? As the old saying goes, tough toenails. The KNMG has decreed that dissenting doctors do not have a right to refuse participation in euthanasia on the basis of conscience. From the same KNMG position paper:
If a physician cannot or does not wish to honour a patient's request for euthanasia or assisted suicide he must give the patient a timely and clear explanation of why, and furthermore must then refer or transfer the patient to another physician in good time.
If the Dutch parliament passes a law consistent with the KNMG's ethical opinion, it will mean every physician in the Netherlands would be forced to be complicit in euthanasia — even if they are pro-life or believe in the Hippocratic Oath's prohibition against physician-assisted suicide — by finding a doctor willing to kill their euthanasia-qualified patients. Either that, or quit the practice of medicine.
Matters are even worse in Belgium, which legalized euthanasia in 2002. Where the Dutch slid slowly down the slippery slope over decades, Belgium has leaped off the moral cliff head-first. Consider that Belgian doctors have coupled euthanasia with organ harvesting. The first reported case of organ harvesting following voluntary euthanasia was reported in 2008. It involved a completely paralyzed woman who first requested euthanasia, and when told she would be killed, asked to donate her organs after she was dead. In a blatant example of ethical bootstrapping, doctors who participated in the case validated their own good conduct in a 2008 letter in the medical journal Transplant International :
This case of two separate requests, first euthanasia and second, organ donation after death, demonstrates that organ harvesting after euthanasia may be considered and accepted from ethical, legal, and practical viewpoints in countries where euthanasia is legally accepted.
In the years since, Belgian doctors have expanded the kill-and-harvest agenda, even promoting it at medical symposia. For example, one group of advocates created a PowerPoint presentation, arguing that unlike, say, cancer patients, euthanizing people with serious neuromuscular diseases who want to die and donate should be accepted because such patients have "high quality" organs.

College Girl's Note:
Really good on any Thai food or whatever you need a dipping sauce for. Even chicken strips or ... whatevs. MMMM... o la la Your jalapeno mileage may vary, so adjust the heat accordingly. Keep in mind, however, that the heat is the strongest the day you make the sauce and starts to dissipate gradually the longer it is kept in the refrigerator. I usually start off with more pepper than I would like and let the sauce sit in the fridge for a couple of days before I use it. This sauce keeps for a long time, and after a couple of weeks, you can't even taste the pepper.
My Private Note
Serves: 6
Units: US | Metric
- 3 large garlic cloves, peeled
- 2 red jalapeno chiles, seeded (or green jalapeno peppers)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 1/2 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch or 1 tablespoon potato starch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1In the blender, purée together all the ingredients, except for the last two.
- 2Transfer the mixture to a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Simmer over medium heat until mixture thickens up a bit and the garlic-pepper bits begin to soften, about 3 minutes.
- 3Combine the cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Whisk in the cornstarch mixture and continue to simmer one mor minute. The cornstarch will help the sauce to thicken slightly thereby causing nice suspension of the garlic-pepper bits; otherwise, you get a thin sauce with all the little pieces floating at the top.
- 4Let cool completely before storing in a glass jar and refrigerate.

San Francisco Apple Store to be expanded
Apple is planning to expand its retail store in San Francisco's Stonestown Galleria, says a report in ifoAppleStore. The Stonestown store is one of Apple's smallest retail stores with a storefront that measures 25 feet wide and a footprint that offers a measly 1,500 square feet of retail space for customers, merchandise and services.
According to ifoAppleStore, Apple will be moving to a nearby location in the mall that'll triple the space of its current store. The new spot will have a curved glass front, which will fit in nicely with Apple's design aesthetics.

Some of us are single by intention.
Because its great living your life your way and you don't have to check in with someone else. . Some of us were pushed into a single life, due to circumstances.
And there are some people out there that would not have it any other way.
There are so many people who thinks being single is the end of the world as know it. They think being with one someone is the key to happiness. If you are alone, you're going to be miserable for the rest. It's the stereotypical comments people say about the single life.
And it's so, so, so, wrong.
The single life can be a great time in a person's life.
It's a time when you begin to understand and love yourself.
It's a time you take to figure out what you want and what you don't want.
Whether you are single by choice or circumstances, many of us are alone and even though it's impossible to know how many unattached people there are globally, the number of single-person households is growing.
Join me Janice Clarke, Holistic Health Practitioner, Master Herbalist, Nutritional Consultant, Reiki Practitioner and Host of THE SOULFUL HEALING TALK SHOW along with ourPanel of special guests as we discuss the big wide topic of being single. Like how to identify when someone is available and when they are not. Singles in relationships, the pet peeves we have and more!!
