text: I'm in desperate need of some encouragement. I have been seriously trying to lose weight for over a month now. I was doing really good there for a few weeks, but then came my TOM and then we went on vacation and everything has kinda went downhill from there. I came back from vacation refreshed and motivated but then I hit a rut. I went out to eat today with my son to one of those fast food seafood restaurants and was so disgusted with myself. I was sitting there with all this greasy food in front of me and I literally got sick. I ended up wasting almost the entire meal, but I don't understand why I ordered it in the first place??? I really want to lose this weight but I cant seem to stay motivated. Any advice?????

'Ria' by Georgie Turner-Noble is a photo shoot that explores vintage fashion through smoke. These photo manipulations lend drama and an eerie vibe to the retro pictorial. In one image, the lighting is such that the model casts a giant shadow onto a backdrop of painted skyscrapers, evoking images of 'Godzilla.'
See more images from 'Ria' by Georgie Turner-Noble above. From smoky pin-ups to hipster-like smoking shots, this portfolio has it all.

I grew up during Reaganomics
from Macklemore and Ryan Lewis (Ft. Evan Roman & Macklemore) – A Wake Lyrics on Genius
Reaganomics refers to the systematic redistribution of wealth upwards (whether intentional or not), based on the assumption that certain tax breaks and monetary policies will cause the wealth of the top 1% to "trickle down" to the lower classes at some point. Hailed by Republicans, and criticized by others, Reaganomics remain a controversial subject in economic circles.

The death of DRM? I doubt it
Posted by Paul Stamp on February 16, 2007
There's been a lot written about the deficiencies of DRM over the last couple of days, with some justification too. Recent efforts have been pretty shoddy, with very little effort devoted to allowing content creators to get true credit for their work and more to serve corporate interests. There's some pretty complex political wranglings to sort out here, between the content providers and hardware and software manufacturers. Does this mean the end of DRM? I doubt it.
Granted, there are some huge hurdles to overcome in a) creating standards so that the content owners control the game, not the vendors and b) creating a watertight system so that this more than just security through obscurity. The problem gets even harder in the enterprise environment where the use cases are much more complex than the consumer world, but there's growing momentum behind finding a solution. Only last week at RSA I witnessed long lines of hundreds of people queuing to get into the Trusted Computing workshop. Their aim was to get a handle on a technology that, used properly, can help us build an environment from the ground up where we can control where our data goes and who gets access to it. There's a long way to go, and as many have pointed out, without oversight this technology can be subverted more than others to serve the needs of big vendors. However, the foundations and the motivations are there to solve the problem.
As security professionals and as consumers, we sit on both sides of the fence. We need to help information owners protect their sensitive data, but after the meeting to discuss how they're going to do that, we want to listen to a few tunes while checking our e-mail. We'll surely be highly instrumental in finding a solution.

The hybrid vehicle efficiently bound to receptors on the liver cells because the modified baculovirus coat serves as a "key" that fits into the "lock," or receptor. The percentage of liver cells that took up the virus increased from approximately 5 percent to 20 percent.
The team also modified the part of the FIV that expresses the therapeutic gene so that its promoter that causes gene expression worked only when it was in a liver cell.
"Even if this FIV modified virus goes to other organs of the body, it won't express well because its promoter is liver-specific," McCray said. "This modification helps prevent negative side effects. For example, if the gene were expressed in immune cells instead of liver cells, it could lead to a damaging immune response."
McCray said the team now is studying additional ways to make the hybrid vector express the protein even better.

Over 70 Indian Muslim groups, besides individuals from the community, among them journalists, artists and activists, have signed a statement condemning the killing of the Governor of the Pakistani province of Punjab, Salman Taseer, by a member of his bodyguard force.
Governor Taseer was killed in retaliation for the support he extended to Asia Bibi, who faces death under the blasphemy law of Pakistan.
The signatories said they were shocked as much by the killing as by the "cynical and vocal support" extended to the killer by extremist sections in Pakistan. Governor Taseer was one of the "liberal and democratic voices in Pakistan who have been fighting for the repeal of this reprehensible law." Further, "We are worried by the trend of increasing religious intolerance in Pakistan and feel that if not fought with resolve and courage, it might lead to a deathly silence in Pakistan for a long, long time to come. While concerned for the safety of democratic and progressive voices, we are equally worried for the general wellbeing of the common people of Pakistan and express our solidarity with them."
The signatories included, among others, the Bhartiya Muslim Mahila Andolan; Gauhar Raza, scientist, poet and filmmaker; Faroukh Sehikh, actor; Shama Zaidi, filmmaker; Hanif Lakdawala, social activist, Gujarat; Farida Khan, Professor, University of Wisconsin, U.S.; Mushir-ul-Hasan, academician; Aban Raza, artist; Imitiaz Hussain, civil servant, Srinagar; Kashif-ul-Huda, Editor, Two Circles; Hasan Kamal, Editor, Sahafat daily, Lucknow; Shabnam Hashmi, Anhad, Aijaz Ilmi, Aijaz Zaka Syed, Arjimand Hussain Talib, Haider Naqvi, Hassan Kazim, Nasiruddin Haider Khan, Nazim Naqvi, Seema Mustafa, Sadiq Naqvi, all journalists.
Keywords: Salman Taseer

How would I mount an lcd tv over my masonry fireplace? The wall is plaster and the chimney is behind it...I doubt there are any studs back there but I'm not sure. |
Follow-Up Postings:
You can use masonry anchors for the mount, but there's probably no way to hide the wires in the wall |
It might be easier to mount a piece of plywood using masonry anchors into the chimney, then mounting the lcd bracket to the plywood. Depending on how deep your plaster is, you may have to mount dimensional lumber to bring the plywood up flush. I wouldn't put an lcd tv over a fireplace because: Also, I've found that I hate staring at TVs mounted much higher than eye level. I think I recall seeing a diagram somewhere that says screens should be mounted in a certain cone in front of the seating for viewing without excessive neck twisting. |

The Leicester Mercury launched a campaign designed to boost the morale of British troops serving in Iraq after the death of a local soldier in a bomb attack. The paper asked readers to send well-wishing messages to his fellow soldiers and reports that its campaign has had a huge response. Major Paul Leslie, the commanding officer of Royal Anglian Regiment's 2nd Battalion, Leicestershire company, wrote back to paper that the letters have made "a real difference to the morale of our soldiers.

Have a good week everyone Vickie 09-26-2011, 08:52 AM Good Morning Chicks! It's raining and dreary here and I've a heavy week of errands/projects. Trying not to stress eat. Hope you all have a great one. Tejas 09-26-2011, 10:20 AM Good morning, and here's hoping for a good week for everyone. I'm looking forward to getting back into my routine, and NOT having huge buffets and endless chocolate in front of me. I have a new program from my trainer and it is much less intense than earlier ones. He says this is what is supposed to be done every 6 months or so, and it is what he wants me to do to get the knee back in shape. I'll try not to get bored :lol: beach bum 09-26-2011, 11:44 AM Good Morning Ladies:) Sorry for being MIA yesterday Woke up late and than everything run into each other. Went to church and brunch,where we met a friend that we had to comfort as her cousin & niece has cancer. [lung and patriotic ] both never smoke a day in there lives. I read, than watched the Fiddler on the Roof movie.By the time that was finished, it was supper time and it went on & on. Have to go,will be back later ontarget 09-26-2011, 05:47 PM Good afternoon, Chickies! We are having a restful afternoon after a morning of riding around the country. Well, that was restful, too. Curtis and I drove to Granbury to check out a brand new archery shop. I'm OP. Curtis is, too, sort of. You really have to use your imagination, though. :lol: JoJo, thank you for the new pages. Rhonda, I like your trainer. Take care of that knee. Vickie, I hope all is going well for you. Construction stuff can be very very stressful. Don't let it get to you! Maryann, your day sounds very busy. Congrats on your weightloss. I like your racker. Tejas 09-26-2011, 07:38 PM The workout was less intense in terms of lifting weights, but it was still effective. I have been doing almost no lower body work for over a month and today I could do split squats better than ever before! (A split squat is one leg behind you, then squat straight down and raise straight up using the standing leg only.) These are difficult for most people most of the time, and the really good thing is that I haven't lost strength and the resting was good for me. So, if my knee is not killing me tomorrow, this is all good. Sandra, I like my trainer too! :cheer2: It's been interesting to try to get back to my routine for eating. It was impossible yesterday, but easier today. Honestly, the more you eat, the more you want :lol: Vickie, good luck with not stressing out. pam920 09-27-2011, 12:17 AM Wow, a new week. I spent the day shopping with my daughter. I loaded up on supplies to take back to Florida. I am spoiled with my daughter doing my nails, hair color and cut, along with waxing. I will have to depend on my sis to color my hair, and we'll make a girls day for nails, etc. I hope I can find a good stylist to cut my hair. It needs trimmed about every 3 or 4 wks. Got pics on my phone to show them how I need it cut. We leave in a couple weeks. I haven't lost any weight. I really need to get down to business before I put on all the weight I lost while in Florida last winter. Rhonda, I give you kudos for sticking with your training. Sandra, sounds like you are back to subbing. Is it everyday? Maryann, sorry about your friends. I talked to my cousin, the one with lung cancer. He is in a trial and it's not working. I don't know how much longer he will be with us. I am so sad. He is my favorite cousin and it breaks my heart to know he doesn't have much longer on this earth. jojo, glad your doggie is okay. Vickie, we had rain too. It cleared up and ended up being a nice day. Vickie 09-27-2011, 10:23 AM Good Morning Chicks! Welcome Home, Rhonda! Congratulations for getting so quickly back into your routine. You are one impressive chick. Sandra, I'm proud of you for being on program. I'm still talking about it. Mary Ann, you sound like a busy chick! Pam, I'm so sorry about your Cousin. It is never easy to lose those we love. JoJo, how's it going? Sloan is getting close to her daughter's wedding day. I think I saw less than 2 weeks. She must be in a whirlwind. We have lots of errands today. I have to pick light fixtures and bath accessories. Yesterday we ordered the tile. Tomorrow we have to pick the cabinet hardware and grout. Ugh. I'll be happy when my part is over and then all I have to do is worry about everyone else doing their jobs properly! Thursday the landscaping job gets done. I have to go out today or tomorrow to take before pictures. Gotta run! pam920 09-27-2011, 10:42 AM Morning Vickie. Sounds like everything is falling in place. I hope you post pics when the bathroom is completed. I couldn't sleep last night and in a fog this morning. I know it was after 4:30 am and I was still tossing and turning. I saw a cute pic on facebook and don't know how to post it. If anyone knows how, let me know. beach bum 09-27-2011, 12:18 PM Good Morning Ladies:) Didn't sleep again last night and when I got up it was too late for my walking group. Oh well there always next week.Very foggy this morning so,I might go walking on my own some time this afternoon. Nothing new,my movie buddy should be coming home soon,don't know what playing as I haven't looked at the movie guide this week. SANDRA-Thanks,Still not eating like I used to,and it scares me a bit so I called the doctor as my cholesterol blood test appointment is due and they only time I got as Dec 6th . They want to work my physical & blood test together. He much be pretty busy as I never had to wait that long to see a doctor. RHONDA-Sorry about your knee, do you have a good brace to use, when not exercising. I'm now wearing a hip brace when I go out with my walking group. PAM-Sorry about your cousin,my DH didn't take the trail he went for the chemo & radiation instead,but he was in stage 3 my friends relatives are both in stage 4. VICKIE-I try to keep busy as much as possible,as to me that's the only way I know how to survive widowhood. Have a great day nancy237 09-27-2011, 01:05 PM Yesterday was a good day. Took my grandson to his eye eval early and he spent the day with me since his eyes were blurry all day. Then a friend came and helped me learn to haul, launch, drive & load the boat. It was a releif that it ran fine because it has been sitting since Feb. I think I am going to be fine using it with some practice. Glad I didn't sell it. Then I took the guy who helped me & his wife out to eat Chinese. I am gaining and now I am 154...Can't seem to control my eating ..I looked back to my posts in Nov and I was doing the low carb and really liking it..Then when Robin got sick eating was not important to me . I will try the low carb again. Maryann..I am finding the same thing..I do much better if I am busy..I used to love our lazy weekends but not now.. Vickie..I am trying to select tile also. My bathroom is not moving along because the handyman did not show up to do the plumbing, son in law takes a month to do one thing and lady that was going to tile was in auto accident. I am going to hire someone new this week that can get it done by Nov since kids will be home some in Nov. jojo23 09-27-2011, 04:34 PM Evening all. We are having an Indian summer here so we have been out and about today. Just got back an hour ago from a day at the beach. Our nearest coast is about 80 miles away. We shan't need much rocking tonight and the dog has put herself to bed already! Talk to you all tomorrow. ontarget 09-27-2011, 07:19 PM Good afternoon, Chickies. I am home from my pedi/mani and am feeling PDQ. (Pretty Darn Cute). Well, my nails are anyway. Curtis and I just finished dinner and are just chillin. Pam, that's smart taking photos so your new stylist will know what to do. Wish I'd done that when we moved down from Montana. I never found anyone who could do my short do like my stylist in Missoula. Oh, well.... Rhonda, I agree with you. It's hard to stop once we get started. I'm not worried about you, though. You are super dedicated. Vickie, can you post photos here? We'd love to see them. I don't know if I could be OP if I had construction going on either. You'll get back on track soon. JoJo, it's still hot here, too. We filmed outdoor scenes for the Christmas Play Sunday in HOT weather. It was difficult wearing coats. Glad you had a good time at the beach today. Sounds like fun. Nancy, girl, I am impressed! I could not drive, load, etc a boat. You are my hero. Maryann, did you take your walk? Anyone hear from Paula lately? I hope she and Sloan get back soon. I miss them! "Biggest Lower" tonight. Life is good. jojo23 09-28-2011, 03:06 AM .Yes, I'm missing Paula and Sloan too. I've heard from Sloanie, she's rushed off her feet planning her daughter's wedding but she is OK and will be back on the forum as soon as she is less busy. Nancy My husband is ex navy and as much at home on a boat as dry land. I am a sore disappointment to him, I get sea sick in the bath. We went on a ferry to Jersey once and it was the slowest old thing you ever saw. Then the gale hit. Everyone was having trouble getting about, I was bouncing off the walls. Hubby was trotting about whistling... He didn't whistle for long after he got to one end of a long corridor, looked back and saw me, green and hanging onto a post. Has it got any cooler yet Sandra? We were heading for winter, bitterly cold and now the sun is cracking the sidewalks. How's it going Tejas? Maryann You sure sound as if you live in a lovely place. Is it near Cape Cod? If it is, that's my hubby's favourite place in America. No plans for today, except maybe wash down the paintwork in the downstairs bathroom and Mark will grout a few tiles which have come loose Vickie 09-28-2011, 10:50 AM Good Morning Chicks! I had bad food yesterday but only ate 2 meals. That's my approach when we go out to eat. We picked the vanity lights and towel bar/toilet paper holder yesterday. Today is vanity hardware, grout color, and room color. All that is left is to see the vanity top. Tomorrow is the landscaping project and the tile is being delivered. All stressful stuff to me. You would think I'd be too busy to eat. NOT!!!! Nancy and JoJo, I envy you handy folks. We are even afraid to change electric switches and outlets! Mary Ann and Pam, what's up with you two not sleeping? Sandra, I guess you want to see after photos? Of the landscaping or the bath? I've never been able to figure out how to post here. I'll definitely put some on FB. I see you only have 2 pounds to go until virgin territory. GREAT for you!!! I just don't care right now enough to weigh, track and measure so I'm trying to just be as good as I can until I have time to manage. Rhonda, I agree with the more you eat the more you want. I'm trying to cut back. I'm hungry now. Oatmeal for me in a few minutes. JoJo...are you on Facebook? beach bum 09-28-2011, 01:07 PM Good Morning Ladies:) Had a good night, slept to 9:30AM and going to hang around the house today,and get some house work done now that I'm energized. The temps are down again,and its going to be comfortable for the next couple of days. NANCY-That the only way for me is to keep busy.When I'm idle I think too much,and sometimes feel sorry for myself and no one whats to do that as its a sign of weakness.Happy to hear you keeping busy and wow going to learn to drive a boat. That's wonderful,so if ever you feel down you just can take the boat out and go and visit other places. SANDRA-Yes I did but only for a while as my hip was bothering me yesterday. JOJO-I live in Cape Cod,and I love living here.Told my children never to bring me down to NY permanently as I don't like, living there. VICKIE-Had a great night slept last night I think it was the high humidity that bothered my sinuses I left like I couldn't breath. Took a allergy pill yesterday instead of those nasal sprays. Its running late so I have to go, have a great day ontarget 09-28-2011, 03:37 PM Hi there. Well, here are :santa::santa: that I just took off my signature. I am hoping to post them again soon--and will asap!! Now I'm 4 lbs from VT. JoJo, I remember a time we were on a diving/snorkeling tour off Maui and the waves were dangerously rough. I am not proud so I lay down on one of the benches on the boat. Folks stared at me at first but then I looked around and several were doing the same. Curtis and some others were leaning over the edge of the boat throwing up. I think lying on a bench looked better than that. ;) Our temps are still in the 90's most days, but our evenings/nights are getting down to the 60's. I think this weekend, we should have highs in the 80's. Rhonda, am I right? I didn't see the weather last night. Vickie, you know you and I are much much alike. I stress eat and usually gain when "stuff" is going on around me when others would be losing. Please post after photos of the landscaping on FB. You know how I love the outdoors. Maryann, glad you got some rest. pam920 09-28-2011, 05:12 PM I thought I posted this morning, but I guess not. Sandra, what are virgin pounds? I see 6 santas. Does that mean you only have 6 more lbs until our Christmas goal of 20 lbs? I just found the biggest loser thread for this season. Bob is going overboard a little too much and starting to act like Jillian, with the screaming at Antone. I think he might be going next, which is fine with me. I don't like that he and Jillian are selling pills to help lose weight. What happened to eating right and exercising? I am going to add and take away as I lose. Of course I have to start with 21 now, grrrrrrrrrrrrr.. I need to see what is available. Maryann, I love Florida and my daughter is sad that I'm leaving KY in a week or so. I can still talk to her on the phone. She is gone most of the time anyway with her salon business. Vickie, I want to see pics of the bath. We did ours last winter in Florida, and I love to see others designs. I slept good last night. Nancy, no way could I handle a boat. I won't even drive my husband's truck. jojo, I remember we were visiting in Florida. It was a rainy day so we decided to go on the gambling boat. Bad move. Everyone was sick, huge waves. No one gambled. It was awful. Never again!!! lol ontarget 09-28-2011, 07:16 PM Pam, I had regained 10 pounds of the 20 I had lost after joining OA June 2010. When I lose over 10, I will be back in what I'm calling "virgin territory." The 6 Santas represent the 6 pounds I've lost so far since joining the Christmas challenge. I like the new BL season. I think Bob's burned out and is ready to move on with his career. Did you see what I posted there earlier today? jojo23 09-28-2011, 10:52 PM Well, there we were, just going about our normal day when we got a phone call to go to the home. Mum was on a dirty protest and refusing, and had been refusing for a few days, to be bathed, showered or in any way be cleaned up. When we got there we could smell her from the other end of the hallway. It took me just 10 minutes to get her in the bath and stay with a staff member in case mum played up. Why can't they do this? We are paying through the nose for her care. Mind you, its worth it not to have her back here because she made life very difficult. I can't recognise her as my mum anymore. She has lost her self respect and her dignity. I know it sounds awful, but I shall be glad when she passes away and is at last at peace. It is coming up for 3am and I can't sleep. I've been going over the old days, especially all the help she gave us with our daughter. pam920 09-28-2011, 11:39 PM You girls are doing great. I am up a pound and you both have lost 6 lbs. Amazing. jojo, I am so sorry about your mom. I was at peace when my dad passed. He was not the father I grew up knowing. His stroke changed his personality and his quality of life. He lived 11 yrs and finally died from lung cancer. My sis and I took turned keeping him. I don't regret any of it, but it was hard seeing him not able to do what he could before his stroke. My husband is at his parents, helping put a new floor in the bathroom. His mom does not know who he is most of the time. Keeps asking....who is that man over there(my husband). It breaks his heart that she no longer knows him. She knows she has a son, just not that he is her son. Sandra, I read the thread but not sure what you wrote, lol. Sounds like not many are liking Anna. I like her so far. The odds are stacked against her with the older group. ontarget 09-28-2011, 11:44 PM JoJo :hug: I understand and empathize. Pam, lol. Don't worry about it. I don't think anyone agrees with me anyway. :lol: nancy237 09-28-2011, 11:47 PM JOJO....so sorry about your mom..its like a death that continues..watching her like that..it seems they would know how to get her to cooperate. even a bribe like you would do a child..she gets her favorite activity after the bath. jojo23 09-29-2011, 07:45 AM The problem is this blessed Human Rights Bill. The staff cannot force anyone to do what they don't want to do and have to use persuasion or bribery, neither works with my mum because she is so strong willed and 'always right'. Because I am a relative I can go in and get heavy handed with her. I don't like doing it, but there you are. We are planning a long weekend of working out of the jam jar. I don't know if anyone else does this, but it is a marvellous way of getting those 101 jobs done that you keep meaning to do, but never get around to doing them. All the little things get written on a piece of paper ( fix that fence panel which looks a bit loose, tidy out that cupboard, paint that door, shorten that skirt etc) and put into a screw topped jam jar. On a jam jar day, we just pick a slip of paper out at random, fix what's written on it and then pick another Vickie 09-29-2011, 10:00 AM Good Morning Chicks! I'm just here having a cup of coffee before going upstairs to shower so I can be available for consultation when the landscaping guys get here. I'm a bit nervous but excited too. I'm kind of a control freak who knows what she wants but can't do it herself.....not fun for me OR them in this type of a situation! I took my before pictures this morning. We picked the grout and the vanity hardware yesterday. All that is left is to see the piece of granite for the vanity top. That will come next week. The contractor comes tomorrow to see if there is anything in the dead space at the foot of the tub that would stand in the way of my built in linen closet. I'll have to have a hole in my wall until they start the project but it is the only way they can know for sure. I ate pizza and rolls with pesto yesterday. Lordy. I'm going to Jenny tomorrow to get some meals and snacks. Perhaps that will slow me down a bit. I'll post pictures on FB for sure since I can't figure out how to post here. JoJo, I SO understand what you are going through since we went through the same thing with my Mom. I'd take comfort in that they aren't pushing her around and forcing her to do things but rather that they are calling you. She can't defend herself even if she is contrary. Have a great day everyone. jojo23 09-29-2011, 11:48 AM Good Morning Chicks!

Oh Lord Vickie! Can my mum ever defend herself. She has laid out 2 in the last 6 months and her language would make a muleskinner blush. She was always such a lady before the dementia beach bum 09-29-2011, 01:12 PM Good Morning Ladies:) Got up late again but this time it was 10AM. Guess I really needed the sleep.Had my window opened as the heat and humidity is gone. Now that the morning is almost gone I feel like I lost 1/2 the day. Hope tomorrow I will wake up at my normal time of 7AM. SANDRA-Thanks I feeling alot better now that i got my ZZZZZZZZ's back.Sorry you had to take down your 2 Santas from your signature. But I sure they will be up shortly again. PAM- Oh Your a snow bird,my sister is the same she can't stand the cold winters of NY.,but now she told me yesterday she doesn't like Fla anymore.She hopes to sell her condo and look for another southern area to go to. I left my DD & DS 15 years ago, moving up to the Cape,and they didn't like me going,until now my DS told me the NY city is changing dramatically and he glad I moved out . JOJO-I'm so sorry about your mom,it horrible when parents & children have to go thought this diseases together. I was lucky my parents & inlaws died of natural causes,[old age] mom 91 and dad 87 DH mom/89 and DH dad 87,but not as lucky when my DH died at 74 with Lung Cancer. One doesn't know. VICKIE-I'm sure the pizza and pasta are not going to blow you whole week of dieting. Do your really like Jenny Crag or Nutrisystem???? I see them advertize on ION TV every day. Right now I'm just eating everything but in a portion sizes.Today I having a Lean Cuisine entree,tomorrow I cook and than back on Sat. a Fridays entree. Have to go,Its 12 noon and I have to get dressed. nancy237 09-29-2011, 02:36 PM jojo..I love the jam jar idea..I have tons of little items that may only take an hour..It would be fun to select one from the jar in the evening to get done. I may keep a done jar also..it would be fun to see it get deeper.. I am thinking little things like organize spices, file papers, backup photos. Yesterday was the 6 month mark of Robin's death. Still hate to write those words down. It is time to take care of myself..I am going to do low carb and eat eggs, nuts, lowfat dairy & protein shakes during the day and then do a nicer meal at night. I can grill and have a salad sometimes. Really need to find a way to get moving in the morning better..If I could go exercise in the am that would help but I hate morning. Vickie 09-29-2011, 03:57 PM Hugs to you, Nancy. I'm SO sorry. I'm not sure I'd be doing as well as you are even though I know you don't feel like you are surviving, but you are. JoJo, if that's how your Mom is now IMAGINE how much restraint she was exercising BEFORE the dementia! I had to refuse the tile delivery as the floor tile didn't match the wall tile. It must have been a different dye lot. We have to go there Saturday to try to straighten it out. We may have to look for completely different tile. And, of course, I went straight and ate leftover pizza. Shame on me. ontarget 09-29-2011, 04:11 PM Vickie, been there done that. I'd have had the pizza, too. All this trauma/drama will end soon. Hang in there. JoJo, I love the jam jar idea. Maryann, I'm posting another :santa: when I finish this post. Life is good. Rhonda, how's your day going? Just got home from Subway. Would you believe I ate a salad? :lol: pam920 09-29-2011, 04:25 PM Vickie, oh Vickie. One thing after another. Hope you get it straightened out. Sandra, I had Subway too. I had the chicken breast, no cheese. Not sure how many pts but I'm thinking 6 or 7. Only need to count the bread. Anyone know how much the 6" honey oat is? I am trying to stick to a plan today. Had eggs this morning (needed milk, so no oatmeal). It's suppose to cool down so I'm going to make soup with kale/turkey sausage/white beans for tomorrow. woohoo, another pound lost, wtg Sandra. Nancy, I agree with Vickie. You are doing amazingly well since Robin passed. Maryann, I think you needed that extra sleep. I'm usually up around 7:30 or 8 am. Vickie 09-29-2011, 04:45 PM Thanks, Sandra. I'm VERY proud of you! ontarget 09-29-2011, 04:51 PM Thank you both. It's been a long time coming. I on Day 8 op. Who'da thunk it? Nancy, I am very proud of you, too. You're a strong lady. jojo23 09-29-2011, 09:01 PM Hugs to you, Nancy. I'm SO sorry. I'm not sure I'd be doing as well as you are even though I know you don't feel like you are surviving, but you are. JoJo, if that's how your Mom is now IMAGINE how much restraint she was exercising BEFORE the dementia! I had to refuse the tile delivery as the floor tile didn't match the wall tile. It must have been a different dye lot. We have to go there Saturday to try to straighten it out. We may have to look for completely different tile. And, of course, I went straight and ate leftover pizza. Shame on me. I don't think you understand vascular dementia Vickie. It alters the brain. People suddenly develop charictaristics totally alien to their norm. My mum didn't have it in her, to behave like this prior to this horrid and misunderstood illness. I have had relatives of patients sobbing in my office and they all said the same thing: The part which upset them the most was that they didn't recognise the person their loved one had turned into and when I explained what had happened to their mum/dad's brain and that I understood they were always relieved. It is a truly horrid condition; frightening to have and heartbreaking to watch nancy237 09-30-2011, 12:42 AM jojo..It is a heartbreaking thing to have to go through for you... Robin had 2 nights with a steriod psychosis where he was a different person. Thought I was tricking him into treatments. Called the nurses vulgar names. We had only been there a week when it happened and I just kept telling them all that it wasn't him..When he came out of it he didn't remember any of it. It was the very hardest part of the whole sickness. It doesn't make sense for a person to do things so opposite of their personality. I can't imagine the heartbreak of it being long term.. If it happened to me I would want my family to just know that the mom they knew was dead..maybe not physically but mentally..I would want them to hang on to the good times & memories. ps. I had a session with a personal trainer at my gym tonight. I have 53 pounds of body fat..Wow..I knew there was a pound or 2 around my waist LOL. Tejas 09-30-2011, 08:06 AM My dog got me up at 5AM for reasons i don't understand--and don't like. I couldn't get back to sleep. Jojo, my former MIL became a total shrew with her dementia. And, she fights like a tiger when it comes time to bathe her. They do it anyway, and they might use more sedation (just guessing). She is in Ontario, a place with strong protections for those in institutions. Is it possible that the home where your mother resides is "hiding" behind the law because the staff just don't want to fight with her? Not that I blame them :lol: These are awful situations. We have a difficult one with my brother who obsesses over coming "home." Of course, that is impossible. Nancy :hug: Taking care of yourself is critical. You know that Robin would want you to do that. I used to laugh when people said that to me about Avi, saying that Avi just didn't have a vote anymore! Anyway, you know I said that lovingly. It sounds like you have a plan. Vickie, throw that bread out! Good luck with all of the renovations. My nephew was supposed to have landscaped my yard while I was gone. Did he? NOPE. He promises :rofl: to do it next week. I had my second rehab workout with my trainer yesterday. So far, so good with the knee. I think I'll see if I can get more sleep before heading off to tap class. jojo23 09-30-2011, 09:38 AM Nancy I've only ever had one person with steroid dementia and it was awful for the relatives, and the poor lady who had it. The public seem to think that dementia is the same as Alzheimer's. It isn't. Dementia comes with many causes and many symptoms. The problem here, Rhonda is that that fool Blair (spit) and his merry band took PC to ridiculous lengths. Mums cannot smack their kiddies any more (OK that was needed to a degree, but when my daughter started to strike matches, a sharp smack on the hand stopped her doing it again) Human rights are so farcical now, that a burglar can sue you if he cuts himself on barbed wire you have put along your fence to deter him climbing in. Staff in care homes are frightened that they can be sued for 'forcing' a resident to do something against their will and on top of this, many care home owners hide behind the Act to save on staff and care. It is over 90 in our garden and I have just got a lineful of washing dry, and am now going to peg out the second. We have every window open and all the fans on beach bum 09-30-2011, 11:02 AM HI Ladies:) Had to go to the hospital for my bone density test. My doctor wants to see if I have any fractures after taking fosamax for over 5 yrs. They was some kind of controversy about it causing fractures and you shouldn't use this med after 5 years. I guess my doctor will know the result by Monday. While there I had to go though the new cancer center and I saw a man wearing oxygen and wheeling a tank. It brought my eyes to tears thinking about my poor Leo,remembering how he had to wear his.I hate going to the hospital as it has too many sad memories. On the good note I got on the scale and I lost .5 and brought me to a total of 5 lbs for the year. SANDRA-Congrats on another lost lbs. Your doing great. NANCY-Oh My 1/2 year already. I know sadness will come but you have to be strong. We have to be here for each other,even if it just on the thread. PAM-I'm feeling a lot better now that I had two good night sleeps. Have to go and start dinner,and than go out later,have a great day Tejas 10-01-2011, 12:03 AM We just had a wonderful dinner with some neighbors: steak, potatoes, asparagus, chocolate-zucchini cake. Stuffed, but good food and nice people. :D jojo23 10-01-2011, 03:55 AM Yesterday the temperatures broke all records and was the hottest day of the year. Today seems to be heading to break records too. All the shops have Halloween stuff on sale, not to mention Christmas cards, and we are slapping on :Dsunscreen beach bum 10-01-2011, 01:27 PM Hi Ladies:) I fine today and the pain is gone. They were just memories,that I have to deal from time to time.. My fiend Mary came back from California and we are going to the movie tomorrow to see Money Ball with Brad Pitt. Raining real hard this morning ,but it stopped TG as I have to go out again this afternoon. It wasn't total lose as I rest from exercising on the weekends. Thanks all for the kind words on my weight loss,I'm really working hard on it with portion sizes meals like Jenny Craig or Nutria System do,but why pay them when that's all it is generally. I take a total amount of calories and divide it into 4 meals. SANDRA-Glad you had a good time with your friends your menu sounded delicious. JOJO-Our temps are going down and I happy for that as I have trouble breathing when the humidity is hanging around. I know the stores here have Christmas and Halloween thing out already I don't like it when the rush the seasons,but they want to make the big bucks and out do each other. Have to go and get my dinner started have a great day nancy237 10-01-2011, 04:33 PM Maryann..let me know if you like Money Ball..I will see it if you like it My cousin talked me into doing water aerobics with her yesterday morning. :swim: Ever notice how all our smiley friends are round shaped..we need some skinney smileys !!! Handyman is doing plumbing that has been holding up my bath redo. So Vickie I am following your footsteps. I got the faucets yesterday. Need to go look at tile now. Doing good with my low carb...I think I lost a few pounds already, I am at least back under 150... Trying to get up early and have a ritual in the am... Wondering about doing some of my strength exercises with an exercise ball?? Or just the hot tub & shower. I have great plans and then in the am I think " you must be out of your mind, I am doing good to find my coffeepot":coffee: Tejas 10-01-2011, 11:27 PM Nancy, most mornings I make the coffee and take it to the hot tub for 20 minutes or so. Then I do some stretching exercises and minor core work, followed by a shower. It feels grand. nancy237 10-01-2011, 11:53 PM Could anyone use a weight watcher point calculator & tracker.. I am cleaning out & don't use it and would love to give it to one of the chickies!!! jojo23 10-02-2011, 04:43 AM An old friend rang last evening inviting us to spend a week with her in Cornwall to enjoy this glorious weather we are having. An unexpected trip like this will certainly shorten the coming winter, and she lives in a beautiful spot. NO weight watching for me for the next 7 days... Cornish clotted cream anyone? See you all next week, we are leaving asap to miss the motorway traffic to the coast. ems81wales 10-02-2011, 07:26 AM hey ladies hope your all well and well done to everyone who lost and good luck next week ladies i lost 2lbs this week only 2lbs off goal woohoo :D iv had a really busy week i am back at uni now so u wont see me around much but il try update you the best i can xxxx ontarget 10-03-2011, 06:46 PM :woohoo: Ems!! vBulletin® v3.6.7, Copyright ©2000-2015, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.

Hugely admired by Tolstoy, David Copperfield is the novel that draws most closely from Charles Dickens's own life. Its eponymous hero, orphaned as a boy, grows up to discover love and happiness, heartbreak and sorrow amid a cast of eccentrics, innocents, and villains. Praising Dickens's power of invention, Somerset Maugham wrote: "There were never such people as the Micawbers, Peggotty and Barkis, Traddles, Betsey Trotwood and Mr. Dick, Uriah Heep and his mother. They are fantastic inventions of Dickens's exultant imagination...you can never quite forget them."
This Modern Library Paperback Classics edition includes a new Introduction by Pulitzer Prize finalist David Gates, in addition to new explanatory notes.
"The most perfect of all the Dickens novels."

This is a great school the teachers are so friendly it's just that the students aren't so friendly they are kind of mean.otherwise it's a great school the teachers really care
Worst three years of my life. Teachers didn't care. I don't remember who the principal was she never came out of her office. You don't thrive in this school you survive it and leave the first chance you get.
In the past this school was really in the bottom list. In the beginning of school year I see that they were so many understanding between students and staff. And as a parent my husband and I got involve. I see that a lot of parents don t get involve here. I can see how many students that don t have discipline here (which is really start from home). Now and then I have been visiting meeting the teacher's and ask for my kid s progress. Substitute teachers are not great in-fact they are horrible with kids and hoping someday I get a chance to observe this subs. Teachers are wonderful willing to assist and help the kids succeed.
Horizon is a good school. The teachers are very supportive and have good methods. The principal and vice principal are amazing. This school definitely deserves 4 stars.
This school has been a great experience for me AND my child. The staff is all very approachable - from administrators to teacher to lunch ladies! I was worried about my child getting lost in such a big school but they do a great job of keeping the 6th graders "looked after" and really do know all the kids by name. It feels like a small school in a big setting. The teachers are engaging ad administration is supportive. What a great middle school experience! )
I am very impressed with this school.I'm only in 7th grade but so far it has been a GREAT learning experience. I am a current AVID student and we demonstrate our school.We are proud of who we are.The teachers are great!!!!!
Horizon has excelled over the last few years and the leadership has really taken charge. I would encourage parents to throw away their school of choice forms. The kids from the elementary feeder schools are bright and ready to learn. This school has been an VERY positive experience for my son and daughter. Horizon is a hidden gem that does not get the credit it deserves. So glad we didn't transfer them to the "other" middle school in the area!
My son has been attending HCMS for the last two years and he has done very well. I believe the importance of education and acceptable social behavior starts at home. We parents must encourge our children not just once in awhile but everyday that school is their job and it's in their best interest to excel and appreciate their accomplishments. With that being said even the worst school in the city can have some GREAT students. Yes it helps with the principal and teachers are more professional and encouraging with those the deal with on a daily basis but need to remember that are ALOT of children in one school now days. Parents really have to be the number one support group for the kids. Praise them daily for their good work and encourage them when they don't do well help them and they will have success no matter where they go to school!! Horizon has and does try very hard to provide quality teaching and award these tweens with trips and ceremonies-yes there are other middle schools in the area that are newer and have more money to spend but overall it will work if you have faith in your child and keep an eye on who they are becoming and if your lucky they will be just like you!
This school is absolutely horrible. If you have any ability of taking your child to another school - do it! There is bullying going on daily and there is nothing done about it even when reported. The superintendent will be of no help so don't try going to her either. You might find one or two good teachers but that's about all you will find at Horizon. Try home schooling if you can.
My son is in 6th grade and transferred into Horizon M.S. from Mrachek. I have been very disappointed! When your child attends an Aurora Public School all you hear is how great the Cherry Creek School District is and you should try to get your child into one of their schools. My child was getting better grades at Mrachek and this is the school that people love to hate! I find that very ironic....The teachers are VERY slow in returning calls or emails and the counselor shows little motivation in researching avenues that could help a child in school. I regret my decision to send my son to Horizon. They do not deal well with children who have learning disabilities and need extra help with their studies.
This is not good place for learning. The teachers seems to be just counting their days to get out. There is many fights. There is a great lack of communication between parent and teacher. I would not send my other kids to this school.
I love this school. I have to admit that I was nervous when my son started here in the fall but at the end of this year I was very happy with the education he has recieved so far! He is active in a lot of the extra activities offered as well as band and the AVID program. He has also managed to mantain a 3.86 gpa and a 4.0 for the 4th quater!! I liked all the teachers and his honors language arts teacher Mr. Goyea was awesome!!
My child is in ELA class program. frist year at Horizon. This school is not a good school for kids that have some kind of trouble on reading and math the teacher are no help at all and my child has to pay the price for teacher that don't take the time to really help kids that what to learn the right way. I called the 6th grade counselor and teacher's that may child has problems with and no asnwers and I had to call the front office to try to get answers. I am trying to get my child transfer to a different school for next school year. I think that some the teacher's don't really care about the student and that is not a very nice way for parent to send they kids to school. I believe in school education that is what I believe in.
My Child is in the Edge program. This is his first year at Horizon (6th grader) and although he has done well in classes (A's & B's) I am still concerned with the quality of leadership. I have made several phone calls over the year to his Dean counselor and or teacher's and the response time is not as quick as I would like and I believe that there should be more parent/student activities as well as parent involvement in the class rooms and class trips.
i curently go to hcms it is so much fun. lots of fights.but the techers are so cool.they have forensic science withe mr.Coperstien and the best techer in team 7-3 and 6-3 ever.
There is an extreme lack of educational fundamentals and motivation derived from the school staff. The focus is established as a prison for discipline versus positive & creative measures to engage the students to learn. I requested homework for my nephew who was expelled and it was only a week later when I escalated that there was any response. Had I not stepped in he would have been disciplined with no requirements to meet educational goals. If a student requires correction enforce education as a means to meet objectives dont just expel... hello?? that sends the wrong message.
The staff and teachers at Horizon middle school are great. this school make leaning fun for kids.
Over crowded lots of fights in the halls unsafe!
When I attended this middle school Its not a place where I liked to learn. The teachers were not encouraging just discipline being shoved down our throats. I transferred from Horizon my 6th grade year to Falcon Creek and my grades and my attendance in school spiked but once I was sent back to Horizon for my 8th grade year I didn't have an interest in learning anymore and quit showing up on a regular basis because I knew I wouldn't be missing anything in class and I'm still taking advance classes in high school and the classes I took through 8th grade there was irritating because I knew what they teaching me. Don't send our children here unless they have a good head on their shoulders because if they don't they will end up getting in trouble. The students have no respect for the teachers and the principal is very selfish and doesn't stick to her words and pretty much flakes out on the school.
The school is very diverse which is great. For parent interaction the teachers depend too much on PowerSchool (which they don't update regularly enough) and official parent teacher conferences. There is zero actual communication that is not parent-initiated so there will be no warning if your child is struggling. They don't actually bother to investigate discliplinary issues. They don't deal well with learning disabilities. Some of the teachers are disorganized and scatterbrained (even one AVID teacher) which makes it impossible to actually monitor your kid's progress before it is too late. If you want any attention at all as a parent make sure you contact them because they won't contact you. It is too bad because this school has tremendous potential with the great diversity in its students.

Contrary to popular belief, oysters and wine are not always a natural combo. They can, in fact, be very bad together, when oysters awaken a sourness or tannic quality in the wine.
When they are good together, however, they can be very, very good, letting you slip into that glowing envelope of happiness created by great food & wine moments. A few of my favorites:
Bonny Doon Albarino (Ca' del Solo Estate Vineyard)
Spectacular wine with eastern or Belon oysters, thanks to its flat, stony, intense minerality. Smells like water running over river stones. Its minerality is strangely reminiscent of Riesling, until one realizes that Alba-rino means "from the Rhine" in Spanish. Albarino is the Spanish grape with the strange metaphysical connection to Germany. It combines Riesling's slate-and-apple purity with a Mediterranean kumquat zing. Great with strongly mineral or metallic oysters. Grown completely biodynamically, it is very focused and very low in sulfites.
Bonny Doon Muscat
One of the great oyster wines I ever had was a Moscato Giallo from Italy's Alto Aldige, knocked back with a bundle of bivalves with Peter Hoffman at Savoy in Soho. Since then, I'm always on the search for Moscato Giallo, a varietal virtually impossible to find in this country. Thank god for Randall Grahm and his taste for obscure Italian varietals. Moscato Giallo is now one of the four grapes being grown biodynamically at his Ca' del Solo vineyard in Soledad, California. It has aromatics like no other varietal, apricots and mandarin blossoms that leap out of the glass to meet you, yet it surprises with a nearly dry finish, owing to plenty of acidity. The muskmelon nose makes it screamingly good with Kumamotos, and pretty damn good with eastern oysters (I had it with some Colonial Cocktails from the Johns River in South Bristol, Maine, one of the fruitiest eastern oysters I know)—though, truth be told, it is even better with prosciutto, where the fruitiness spirals into sublimity.
Guy Bossard Clos de Briords (Muscadet)
A Muscadet Sevre et Maine made biodynamically using seaweed fertilizer, which gives an extra hit of salt and chalk. Muscadet is about as lean as wine gets. It makes Kate Moss look fat. This knife-edge quality allows it to stand up to the umami in oysters, caviar, and other foods that make most wines tremble.
Boulay (Sancerre)
Boulay is in the Chavignol area of Sancerre, which many argue should be a separate appellation, because Chavignol has a chalky soil profile more akin to Chablis than the Loire Valley. Indeed, in this wine, all the usual Sancerre touchstones—the grassiness, the herbs, the zing–have receded (no doubt because of the age–this one was 12 years old when I tasted it), leaving behind a pure, ringing note of gunflint that holds indefinitely, like a zen bell being struck.
Chateau La Louviere
Serious white Bordeaux from the Pessac-Leognan appellation of Graves. The Semillon gives the wine a viscosity and body that stands up beautifully to oysters in a way that most pure Sauvignon Blancs do not. And the artfully handled oak doesn't interfere like cheaper oak techniques do.
The Crossings Pinot Noir
Please do not adjust your screen. Yes, that says Pinot Noir. I have thrice had the pleasure of pairing this superb Pinot Noir from New Zealand's Awatere Valley (a subsection of the Marlborough region with more intense wines) with Olympia oysters. The wine is semi-Burgundian—lean, racy, and elegant—and it brings out the porcini in the oysters, and vice versa. This pairing may change your life.
Kenwood Reserve Sauvignon Blanc
Puts the fumé back in Fumé Blanc (the name Robert Mondavi coined for Sauvignon Blanc back in the 1960s, nodding to Pouilly-Fumé, the Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc). Kenwood beautifully captures that smoky cap-gun note sadly missing from most Pouilly-Fumé, and marries it to the gooseberry Sauvignon Blanc scents more common in California. Absolutely great with Kumamotos and Pacifics, and even passable with eastern oysters.
Lieb Cellars Pinot Blanc
From the nice fork of Long Island Sound, Lieb Cellars has been hanging their hat on Pinot Blanc for twenty years now, and they've got it down. Elegant, almost water-white, stripped clean of artifice, this is the wine to impress your Alsatian friends when they visit. Highly mineral, with notes of shell, green apple, and star fruit, this is kind of the North Fork counterpart to Muscadet. Because it is grown right in the heart of New York's best oyster grounds, I tend to pair it with Northeast oysters, where its gum-tingling acidity (well beyond anything you'll find on the west coast) blasts the saline off your tongue. It's a triumph of terroir…and yet…I find that it's even better with west coast oysters, which bring out its citrus side. Go figure.
Lopez de Heredia Vina Gravonia
An amazing, deeply traditional white Rioja (100% Viura grapes) that breaks all the rules. Aged for years in oak barrels, it develops a complex, walnutty, herbal, honey flavor, like a bone-dry Ricola cough drop. It will make you rethink what an oyster wine should be. Read more here.
Mar de Frades Albarinho
Not your typical Albarinho. Most are like Chardonnay without the sugar cookie, and I love them for it, but I have a suspicion that Mar de Frades is what Albarinho was like before they learned to manipulate it for the American palate. Capricious, strangely vegetal, it doesn't particularly want to be liked. Most exciting, it has a green pepper or green tomato note (possibly even green potato skin; solonaceae in any case; you get this in Cabernet Franc sometimes—a sign of unripeness, yet often a tasty one—and in Cabernet Sauvignon, where it's not so good) that I've occasionally noted in oysters from Long Island Sound and Cape Cod Bay—the natural matches for this invigorating wine.
Sauvion Sancerre
Has the classic, grassy gooseberry notes and vegetal edge of Sauvignon Blanc without the tiki bar flavors that mar so many cheap New World SBs. A classic French oyster wine for virginicas or Pacifics.
Serveaux Blanc de Noirs Champagne
Champagne is the can't-go-wrong choice with oysters. Those bubbles scour the palate and prevent any fishy molecules from taking up permanent residence there, and, famously, the prickly acidity makes you look forward to more food in general. My standard recommendation is to opt for Blanc de Blanc Champagne (from 100% Chardonnay grapes) because it tends to be light and zingy, more tart and appley than yeasty. But show me a generalization and I'll show you an exception to the rule. In this case, the exception is Serveaux, far and away the best Champagne I've ever tasted. Serveaux, which is very hard to find but worth trying, is one of those exceptionally rare Champagnes made from 100% Pinot Meunier. What is Pinot Meunier? You ask (as I once did). It's the mysterious third grape of Champagne, heftier than Chardonnay but not as buxom as Pinot Noir, and I'm beginning to think it's superior to either (at least in the case of Champagne). It usually gets added as a small percentage in the mix. After tasting Serveaux, can't understand why. It's spectacular, full of citrus peel perfume and croissant-like buttery depth, and it makes all oysters taste noble. Find some!
Tiara Sauvignon Blanc
What most people call "grapefruit" or "kiwi" in Sauvignon Blancs is often closer to guava, however, most people wouldn't know a guava from an iguana, so they never think to use it in their tasting notes. (Real guava, it should be pointed out, is far more acid than the guava juice abominations found in various stores.) Anyway, sometimes a big burst of sour guava is just what you want with oysters–and it's a reminder of one of my rules, which is that relatively simple wines are often the best match with oysters. Too tropical for eastern oysters, it was ideal with some Totten Inlets.
Vinho Verde
Vinho Verde, that odd Portuguese wine that is Albarinho's less respectable cousin, always has a weird whiff of stale soda water to it. (From the prickle of carbonation added, I suspect. Perrier has this also.) It's not a bad thing; just noticeable. And many oysters also have this—something to do with the calcium carbonate they sequester, perhaps? Anyway, it's a simple combo that works, and makes you feel kinda Iberian.
X'armant 2007 Txakolina
Txakolina (say "SHOCK-a-leena") is a crisp and tangy Basque wine made with indigenous grapes that screams out for shellfish. Very weird, very good. X'armant is the best (okay, the only) Txakolina I know. Clams, oysters, mussels—it was made for invertebrates.
Sho Chiku Bai Nama Sake
An organic sake brewed by Takara Sake in Berkeley, is the best U.S. sake with oysters, and one of the best drinks with oysters period. Its extremely smooth, full-bodied, and fruity flavor screams out for Kumamotos or a sweet Pacific oyster like a Hog Island Sweetwater, but it also pairs well with salty oysters (for the same reasons that sake works with soy sauce).
Muscadet Martini
A splash of tongue-tingling Muscadet in your martini instead of vermouth, a twist of lemon, and a spoonful of snow (okay, it's a seasonal drink) and you have the perfect Winter Solstice, oyster-friendly martini. Cheers!
Cucumber Hendrick Martini
If you're feeling a bit more traditional, a dry Hendrick Martini is the way to go–Hendrick being the gin that pairs best with raw oysters. That's because cucumber is one of the botanicals used to create the Hendrick flavor, and cucumber is also the most distinct note in Pacific oysters, especially those from Hood Canal (Baywater Sweets and Hama Hamas are my favorites) and Penn Cove. In lieu of an olive, drop a slice of cucumber in the martini for intrigue.
Don't forget Scotch. It's a whole different experience, and may just turn you into a whole different person. Here are my tasting notes.

SearchAll Refuges
The Stillwater wetlands are well-known to birders because of the hundreds of thousands of shorebirds, such as Long-billed dowitcher, Black-necked stilt, and American avocet (above) passing through during migration. The refuge is an area of International Importance within the Western Hemispheric Shorebird Reserve Network (external link)
Nevada is in the midst of an extreme drought, and Stillwater NWR wetlands (and all water users in the Lahontan Valley) received less than 40% of normal water allotments from the Truckee-Carson Irrigation District. This means limited and less than ideal wildlife observation and waterfowl hunting opportunities from Fall 2014 through winter and possibly into Spring 2015.
The link below is a map showing status of refuge wetlands. Updates will be posted during the season as conditions change.
American White Pelicans spend summers feeding on fish at Stillwater refuge, but nest on Anaho Island NWR (part of the Stillwater NWR Complex) about 60mi away. When water and fish are scarce, pelicans will resort to feeding in canals, drain ditches, stock ponds and wherever else they can find food. Like other birds, their migration patterns may have to adpat to the changing habitat conditionss if not enough food is available.
Yellow-headed blackbirds are common marsh migrants in the spring. Males stake out territories among the cattails to attract a female and build their nest. Red-wing and Brewers blackbirds also are common, along with thousands of songbirds, shorebirds, wading birds, raptors, and waterfowl.
Stillwater NWR is irrigated from the Carson River through a series of canals and delivery ditches, operated by the Truckee-Carson Irrigation District in Fallon NV. The refuge is the largest water rights owner in the Lahontan Valley, and has an active Realty program that purchases water rights from area landowners in order to provide water critical to these unique desert wetlands. In low water years, critical maintenance projects can be completed on water control structures, delivery canals, bridges and access roads. Watch for heavy equipment on the refuge during the week.

From his frequent, televised updates to residents as the storm's winds whipped the state's beaches to his criticism last week of fellow Republican John Boehner's decision to delay a U.S. House vote on federal storm aid, his handling of his native state's worst natural disaster may one day be considered the defining moment in the political career of a budding presidential contender.
The timing of the storm — days before a presidential election — ultimately helped define his role in it as well.
Christie has been viewed as a nonpartisan advocate for federal aid since the storm hit Oct. 29. He embraced President Barack Obama's visit to the Jersey Shore six days before the election, inciting catcalls from conservatives.
And last week he smacked down Boehner for delaying a vote on the $60.4 billion storm aid package. Christie said he tried to call Boehner four times Tuesday, but none of the calls was returned. Christie's office received 800 emails in the hours following the governor's Boehner news conference, mostly positive.
Christie said he was just doing his job.
"It never struck me that what I should do is calibrate my language in order to be more political. My view was the (president) was helping us and I wanted to tell people. He deserved that credit," he said. "With Boehner, I would have reacted differently if the speaker had picked up my phone calls Tuesday night and explained what he was doing. The fact that 66 days had already gone by with no assistance, all that stuff conspired to create the reaction that I gave."

Latest Release Of Synplify Software Cuts Days Off FPGA Implementation Time
"As FPGA designs pass the five million gate mark, the need for synthesis tools that provide fast design turnaround and improve productivity is more important than ever," said Ed Bard, senior director of marketing of the Solutions Group at Synopsys. "In addition to improving performance significantly, we enhanced the debug capabilities in the latest releases of Synplify Pro and Synplify Premier to allow multiple error isolation and incremental fix up, addressing the fast turnaround time requirements of designers implementing large-scale FPGAs for production applications or SoC prototyping."

Customers with a current maintenance agreement can download this new version from Synopsys using their SolvNet account.
