We had the pleasure of hosting Lea's parents while they were in town visiting Lea from France. They could not have been nicer guests! Not only did they bring us chocolates from Paris, but they saved us some raspberry pancakes from a batch they made. Lea was very helpful with coordinating their checkin/out with us and was very communicative before and during their stay. Lea's parents were easy going, respectful guests and they left the room completely spotless. We would be happy to host them again and wouldn't hesitate to vouch for Lea or her parents. They are a lovely family!
Lea has such a wonderful spirit and we enjoyed having her in our home. We hope that when she returns to Orlando she will stay with us.
Lea and Antoine were darling. They were polite,quite qnd very clean. They are welcome back anytime.

Ryan Sweeney OF CHC 4 days ago
Sweeney is just 5-for-26 this spring and hasn't driven in a run.
Sweeney will probably make the team as an extra outfielder, and he's one of those veterans who probably doesn't need to show much in camp, but a .491 OPS doesn't exactly make a positive impression.
Ryan Sweeney OF CHC 5 months ago
Sweeney (hamstring) was activated from the 60-day DL on Tuesday, Bruce Miles of the Daily Herald reports.
Sweeney missed close to three months due to hamstring issues in 2014 and was barely above replacement level when healthy, posting a .642 in 77 games. He'll be back to play out the final year of his two-year pact with Chicago, but Sweeney is likely behind Justin Ruggiano for the fourth-outfielder role and could end up being a DFA candidate early in the season.
Ryan Sweeney OF CHC 7 months ago
Sweeney (hamstring) has been moved to the 60-day DL and is done for the season, MLB.com's Carrie Muskat reports.
He won't play again this season, as the Cubs needed to clear a 40-man spot for Ryan Kalish.
Ryan Sweeney OF CHC 7 months ago
Sweeney (hamstring) is likely done for the season, Jesse Rogers of ESPN Chicago reports.
Sweeney began a rehab assignment recently, but it appears his hamstring is not healthy enough to handle a full workload, and he will likely be shut down for the season. Sweeney will be back with the Cubs next season after signing a two-year deal with the club last October.
Ryan Sweeney OF CHC 7 months ago
Sweeney (hamstring) went on a rehab assignment with the Arizona League Cubs on Friday, MLB.com's Carrie Muskat reports.
Sweeney has been on the disabled list since Aug. 27, but is starting to work towards a return from the disabled list by joining the Arizona League team. He appears to be on track for a return from the disabled list as soon as he is first eligible on Sept. 11, but it's unclear how much playing time he will receive when he returns.
Ryan Sweeney OF CHC 7 months ago
Sweeney (hamstring) was placed on the 15-day DL on Wednesday, MLB.com's Carrie Muskat reports.
With Sweeney and Justin Ruggiano (ankle) both landing on the DL on Wednesday, the path his clear for prospect Jorge Soler to pick up at-bats in right field. Sweeney could be back with the Cubs before the end of the season, but he'll likely operate as a fourth or fifth outfielder once healthy.
Ryan Sweeney OF CHC 7 months ago
Sweeney left Tuesday game against the Reds with a left hamstring issue, Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Sweeney grounded out to short in his first at-bat of the game and was replaced in right field by Matt Szczur to begin the bottom of the second inning. The 29-year-old Sweeney missed more than a month earlier this season with an injury to his right hamstring.
Ryan Sweeney OF CHC 8 months ago
Ryan Sweeney homered and drove home four runs on Friday, powering the Cubs to a 7-6 victory over the Cardinals in an afternoon matinee at Wrigley Field.
Sweeney got the Cubs on the board in the second inning with a three-run shot off Joe Kelly, then tacked on an RBI single his next time up. Even with the 2-for-4 effort though, he's hitting a mere .221/.264/.302 on the season and has little value outside of NL-only formats.
Ryan Sweeney OF CHC 9 months ago
Ryan Sweeney went 2-for-5 and drove home a pair of runs as the Cubs topped the Nationals on Friday afternoon.
Sweeney, hitting out of the leadoff spot in the Cubs lineup, delivered a two-run single off Tanner Roark in the fourth inning to increase the Cubs advantage to 4-1. He has struggled at the plate this season, hitting a mere .209/.245/.242 through his first 99 at-bats.
Ryan Sweeney OF CHC 10 months ago
Cubs activated OF Ryan Sweeney from the 15-day disabled list.
Sweeney missed the last six weeks with a strained hamstring. With Emilio Bonifacio (ribs) on the shelf, Sweeney should see plenty of playing time in center field.

Vine Introduces Loop Counts To Show How Many Times A Video Has Been Viewed
Twitter's six-second video platform Vine was updated today to include "loop counts" to show how many times videos have been viewed on the network.
Loop counts are visible on the desktop version of the site and on updated iOS and Android apps that are being released today. The updated mobile apps also feature a new design, "offering you bigger edge-to-edge videos and a cleaner view of likes and comments," according a post on Vine's blog.
Because Vine started compiling loop data on April 3, videos created before that date will display a "+" next to the loop count to show that the actual count is likely higher.
Vine also announced that it has revamped the Activity feed, separating new and older activity and notifying users when their Vines surpass milestones (for example 25 or 100 likes).

Warm weather gums up Minnesota maple syrup season
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — The unseasonably warm weather is gumming up Minnesota's maple syrup season.
Maple trees produce sap only when the weather alternates between freezing and thawing temperatures. The sudden onset of warm weather has disrupted that cycle.

I've implemented an Access Control List using 2 static arrays (for the roles and the resources), but I added a new table in my database for the permissions.
The idea of using a static array for the roles is that we won't create new roles all the time, so the data won't change all the time. I thought the same for the resources, also because I think the resources are something that only the developers should treat, because they're more related to the code than to a data. Do you have any knowledge of why to use a static array instead of a database table? When/why?

Stihl ms-290 chainsaw won't start
I just replaced my engine in my stihl ms290 chainsaw. The reason was it started to smoke. I lost compression due to it and the exhaust side of piston is all scratched up. Not really sure what caused that maybe not enough oil in gas/oil mixture.
Anyways, with oem engine and good compression engine won't start. I have the stihl manual and it says nothing for procedures after changing engine.
I have good spark and if I put a little fuel into combustion chamber it will fire and turn over, but will not stay running.
The gas tank has a good seal I'm guessing, because when I open it, you can hear tank loose pressure. Also with gas tank shut and removing fuel line to the carb, it sprays out.
The manifold does look dry though. Does anyone have any advice. Going to try to clean up carb tomorrow.
Thanks for all the help.

The Wreck of the Peter Iredale
The Peter Iredale was a steel vessel built in 1890. Named after the owner of the barque, it drifted ashore the coast in 1906 and was left abandoned due to the inability to remove it from the sand. After deteriorating for more than a century, rusted remnants of the bow and mast are still seen at the site. Tourists visit this spot during low tide for a chance to touch one of the most reachable wrecks in the Pacific.

NEW LONDON -- The New London-Spicer Wildcats are going pink at Friday night's football game in honor of breast cancer awareness during the month of October. Football players will wear pink shoelaces and play on a field spray-painted with the signature pink ribbon of breast cancer awareness. The Wildcats take on Milaca at 7 p.m. at the high school football field. Affiliated Community Medical Centers is teaming up to help with the event. ACMC staff are handing out miniature pink footballs to the first 500 people who come through the gates. During halftime, Dr.
A soldier from New London was killed in combat Monday in Afghanistan after his convoy came under fire. Army Pfc. Ryane Clark, 22, died when a rocket-propelled grenade hit the lead vehicle in which he was a passenger, his father, Rick Clark, said Tuesday.
When her father developed dementia two years ago at age 68, Julie Rice thought she was prepared to handle it. She helped her parents move out of their house and into a more manageable apartment. She researched all the local services. But when her father reached the point of needing more care, things began to unravel. Moving into a memory care unit in July left him disoriented and uncooperative.
A pair of events in Willmar this month will focus on Alzheimer's disease and related dementia disorders and how caregivers and the community can best care for this population. Richard Taylor, a retired psychologist and author, will speak at Vinje Lutheran Church at 7 p.m. Tuesday. Taylor was diagnosed with dementia at the age of 58. Now 66, he frequently writes and lectures on the need to recognize the humanity behind the disease. Taylor is leading a staff training at Lakeview Ranch in Dassel earlier in the day.
WILLMAR -- It's raining cats and kittens at the Hawk Creek Animal Shelter. The shelter issued an appeal to the public this week to help by either adopting a cat or making a financial donation to sponsor a cat. "We are just so bombarded," said Bobbie Bauman, operations director at the animal shelter. "It's nationwide. A lot of shelters are struggling." At last count, more than 40 felines, mostly kittens, were waiting at the shelter for someone to adopt them.
When the woman rushed frantically down her driveway, crying that her husband was pinned beneath his car, Keith Friesen didn't have to think twice. He gave his cell phone to his wife and told her to call 911. Then he ran across the street to where the man was trapped under a vehicle that had fallen off a jack. Friesen lifted the front end of the car long enough for the man to crawl out. "I just responded," he recalled Monday. For his lifesaving actions on Aug.
ST. PAUL -- The Minnesota Department of Health has identified a cluster of influenza cases in a long-term care facility in the seven-county Twin Cities metropolitan area. State health officials said today that it's unclear whether this cluster represents sporadic influenza activity that can occur outside the usual influenza season or whether it signals the start of the influenza season in Minnesota. They said, however, that it's a reminder that flu season is just around the corner and it's not too early to get vaccinated.
WILLMAR -- When organizers with the Women's Fund of the Willmar Area Community Foundation were looking at how to allot grant money this past year, one program that caught their attention was Kitchen Kamp, an initiative by the Heartland Community Action Agency to help teenaged mothers gain basic knowledge about nutrition and budgeting. The Women's Fund ended up awarding a grant to the program.
WILLMAR -- When Sen.
WILLMAR -- The Kandiyohi County and City of Willmar Economic Development Commission will continue pursuing leads to bring new businesses into Kandiyohi County. But look for a slight shift that puts greater emphasis on supporting and strengthening the businesses that are already here. "I feel that our trend in the next five years is our best opportunities or best bets are going to come from local business," said Duane Hultgren, chairman of the EDC's joint operations board. Members of the operating board met Thursday to talk about the agency's five-year plan.

About Us: My family is originally from Rhode Island. We have owned vacation homes in Mount Washington Valley for over 40 years. We grew up enjoying the mountains, skiing in the winter and lots of outdoor activities. A favorite time of the year is the Fall foliage season when the leaves are at their most colorful. In the warmer months, it is a pleasure to sit on the screened porch and listen to the Ellis River.
This home was custom built for it's convenient Jackson Village location, Ellis River frontage and a view towards Mount Washington and the Jackson Covered Bridge.
The house was perfect—laid out just right, with wood stove in one living room and the TV in the adjoining room, a kitchen big enough that we didn't get in each other's way, and plenty of sleeping spaces and bathrooms. It was also nice to be so close to the trails (we were never in the car for more than a couple minutes). Our only regret is that it wasn't also summer (somehow) so that we could enjoy the deck and screen porch!
Storyland is only 5 minutes from house.

Sakura Sakura
The cherry blossoms have bloomed, and spring is in the air!
Talented local photographer Motoya Nakamura has a stunning photo and video exhibit called Sakura Sakura.
Sakura is the Japanese name for cherry blossom trees. Over the course of a year, Nakamura captured the beauty of the cherry blossom trees at Waterfront Park and the Japanese American Historical Plaza.
The trees were gifts from Japan. They evoke cultural wonder, and symbolize Japanese-American history and friendship that is unique to our region.
Sakura Sakura is funded in part by the Regional Arts & Culture Council. It's up through June 14th at the Oregon Nikkei Legacy Center.

Keeping our water clean
The Bull Run Watershed provides Portlanders with some of the best drinking water in the world. Because it's so high in quality, we only have to minimally treat our water to make it safe to drink.
The Portland Water Bureau treats our water through a process called chloramination. Chlorine is lightly added at the source to protect us from possible harmful bacteria and micro-organisms. Ammonia is then added to ensure the disinfection remains stable throughout the system as it travels to our homes and businesses.
The bureau tracks our water quality carefully, and adjusts chlorine levels as needed. The bureau will sometimes adjust levels during the warmer months of spring and summer, as warm temperatures could cause chlorine to decrease more rapidly (like evaporation).
Some people are sensitive to changes in chlorine levels. If your water smells like chlorine, you can minimize it by putting water in the refrigerator overnight, adding a slice of lemon or cucumber, or by boiling it.
Visit the Water Bureau's website to learn more about water quality, or call the Water Quality Line at (503) 823-7525.

The splendor of energy efficiency
Energy Trust of Oregon awarded the Bureau of Environmental Services (BES) for their dedication to green energy.
Energy Trust is a statewide nonprofit that promotes energy conservation and renewable energy sources.
As one of its services, the nonprofit provides cash incentives to public agencies and nonprofit organizations that work to conserve and generate renewable energy. Recently, BES received an incentive check for $284,810 for one of their projects!
BES' award-winning project involved making aeration tanks at the Columbia Boulevard Wastewater Treatment Plant more energy efficient. The machines that blow air into the aeration tanks use more power than any other equipment at the plant. Modifying those blowers to use less electricity reduces energy costs, which means long term cost savings for ratepayers!
This isn't BES' first time getting an incentive check from Energy Trust. In 2008, the bureau installed a co-generation system that used biogas as fuel to generate power and heat for plant operations.
Congrats to the Bureau of Environmental Services for their success and dedication to being energy efficient!

PNCA celebrates its new home
On Friday evening, Nick was honored to represent the city at an important milestone: the grand opening of the Pacific Northwest College of Art's new home, the Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Center for Art & Design.
Nick joined PNCA President Tom Manley, Arlene and Jordan Schnitzer, Governor Kate Brown, Senator Ron Wyden, Congressmen Earl Blumenauer and Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici, former and current PDC staff and Board members, architect Brad Cloepfil, and many others to celebrate the grand opening.
PNCA's new home at 511 NW Broadway was almost a decade in the making. The historic building opened in 1919 as a Post Office, and later served as Federal offices before becoming vacant in 2005. That's when Tom Manley's vision for a new PNCA took shape.
Congratulations to all the public and private partners for securing PNCA's foundation for the next 100 years.

Thanks everybody.
Tomorrow, the kids and I will be heading for my parents' house Insha'Allah. DH told my son tonight that he doesn't think he'll ever see him again, which I find very troubling. He's planning to return to Egypt in early August (or so he says)... but still, it worries me that he says he'll never see him again. As much as I do not want to live with the violence and his controlling nature, I also know that the kids need their Baba in their lives.
So, keep him in your du'as too. That he seeks out help and that we find a way that is best for all of us.
Maybe also too I didn't get the 'first baby?' dumb ass advice - here you say no fourth and people look at you like you are to dumb to use a condom There they say congrats and think four is great...
asalam alaikum sisters
it's nice to know that there are other sisters in tune with my style of parenting re: male circumcision, i have a Muslim OB who also didn't take off much foreskin from DS. I thought maybe she didn't do a proper job, b/c my friend's babies had no trace of foreskin. but i guess some OBs have their own way of doing circs.
are there any sisters here from nyc?
Assalamu Alaikum:
So... I stopped wearing my hijab after the incident with DH. Just couldn't do it. I'm amazed at how differently I'm treated. I mean, I knew on some level that it would happen... but being multicultural NY, I didn't expect it to be so blatantly obvious. In Jacksonville? Yup... I'd expect it. But here in NY where there's a sizable population of women who cover? Didn't expect it. Really sad.
Happy 4th of July folks. I have to get back to packing.
Not too surprised actually - I remember how distinctly different I was treated when I started.
Oddly enough it's been different for me in rural PA -- I've never had anything that didn't waver between being as much of the landscape as everyone else to a subtlely higher respect. I think part of it is specific to the location ... a high Amish/Mennonite population in the country and closer to the city a really high Catholic/parochial-school-raised population. If ever there was a place in the U.S. with few Muslims but where people are nevertheless accustomed to religious takes on dress, this is it. Kind of hard for a man rockin' suspenders and a straw hat to look at me and say "gee, you sure dress weird."
I'm also in Brooklyn, NY.
Mahira, do you do kosher organic. If so and your interested there is a place in Brooklyn that does chicken.

For the ladies in North Florida, and I know there are a couple of you out there--can you please recommend a masjid with a good new-convert program in the Jacksonville area? I keep running into NoI masjids and I don't exactly fit their demographic, ya know? I'd love to find a place with a bit more Sufi in them. (Where's that dervish smilie?)
Assalamu Alaikum TKate:
The Islamic Center of NE Florida used to have a good program. They're on St. Johns Blvd. But, the Imam left about 1-2 years ago, so I'm not sure how things are these days.
I'd love to start up a sufi group with you when I get to JAX. (Only two more weeks!)

If Lieberman (I'm not 100% sure that this is the correct spelling, actually...) has his way, many Israelis will have their social benefits revoked because they'll be deemed disloyal. While that makes sense in a number of small cases, Lieberman also finds anyone who disagrees with him to be disloyal to Israel... That was even his slogan during the elections. He is loudly and clearly against peace. Many Israelis do actively want peace and are frightened by what might emerge from such a far-right government. Obviously the issue is too complex to fit in this little comment box, but the prospect of Lieberman as foreign minister is disconcerting at best.
THE BBC reports that Benyamin Netanyahu has reached a coalition deal with Avigdor Lieberman and his far-right Yisrael Beiteinu party. If Mr Netanyahu is able to form a majority in parliament—he still needs support from other parties—then Mr Lieberman would become foreign minister.
It will be interesting to see how the Obama administration reacts to this announcement. Back in January, Mr Lieberman said that he feared George Mitchell's mission had "absolutely no chance [of success]". Why? Because he expected Mr Mitchell to pressure Israel on settlements (good guess) and, in Mr Lieberman's opinion, "there is no connection between settlers and the conflict through which we have been living for so many years." Moreover, Mr Lieberman sees the peace process as a low priority. Asked in March about his relationship with the Obama administration, he said:
I think we share the same values and the biggest problem of our region is not territory and not the Palestinian conflict. We must create new priorities in the old Middle East. I think everybody who lives here understands that our biggest problem today is Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq and only after this the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
That is a debatable point. But the administration wants Israel to focus on the Palestinians, while it deals with the other problems. The odds are now against this happening. If Mr Lieberman has his way, Israel is more likely to confront Iran than it is to seek progress with the Palestinians.

Back from Los Angeles!
The drive to Manhattan beach takes about 20 minutes. While we were riding along, the driver popped in a tape that gives sort of a guided tour. I thought that was pretty okay because I am always interested in learning something about the places I am visiting. So we're going along and it tells me various things about what I am seeing when suddenly I realise I'm getting a narrative about the local raw sewage plant. Um...yeah...come to California, see our sewage plant! No thank you! (What were they thinking?!?) Fortunately, the script moved on from there with some fun facts about the beach.
Manhattan Beach was really pretty. It reminded me a bit of White Rock, BC. It's a little seaside village with quaint little shops, eateries and an expanse of white sands and rolling ocean as far as the eye could see. There was also a really nice pier. I had fun poking around and taking photos. When it was getting close to the time when the next shuttle was going to come along, I popped into the local ice cream store and got myself a cone. I decided since it was about 24C, it was perfectly okay to have coffee ice cream for lunch. It was delicious!
I hopped back on the shuttle and went to the second of two malls to shop at the Whole Foods. I wanted to pick up some bottled water and some snacks. I have no idea where the locals shop for groceries other than there because not once in my travels did I see a regular grocery store. It was really weird. The other odd thing is that the hotel I stayed in did not have a mini fridge in the room. A fridge in a hotel room is pretty standard in Canada.
I got back to the hotel around 2 pm and was able to check into my room and then I had to go do my second blood draw for the CIRCLES Study. I did my first one a couple days before Xmas, so it's been awhile.They drew 9 vials of blood. This is about 4 tablespoons or 58.5 ml, which less than you would donate to a typical blood drive. From there, the blood they collected is broken down into 40 individual containers. All blood samples are labelled with a unique code.The blood samples are shipped immediately to the biorepository lab in the eastern United States were they remain until researchers working with the Guthy-Jackson Foundation apply for samples to work with. This is one way in which I can help researchers work toward a cure for NMO. If you're interested in learning more about the CIRCLES study, I posted about it
Wednesday was NMO Patient Day. If you want to read about it, I have a post on that
. It was a long, but very interesting day. I came away with my brain absolutely stuffed with information and ideas. It was so great to spend time reconnecting with friends, making new ones and just feeling the sense of community. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly. I was feeling pretty cruddy because a week before I had fractured a rib and was in a considerable amount of pain. Fortunately, I was able to get a prescription for morphine to help me cope. I would not have survived or even enjoyed the trip otherwise.
Thursday, I checked out of my hotel at 8:30 am and had the concierge stow my carry-on so I could do a bit of sightseeing before I flew home in the evening. I took the hotel shuttle to the airport and then waited for a bus company to take me to Hollywood. The bus was supposed to come at the top and bottom of each hour, but for some reason, I waited an hour and a half. The company's other buses kept coming and I would ask each one when the Hollywood bus would arrive and each driver would tell me something different. Obviously no one knew their own company's schedule. Eventually it did show up. The driver was a complete jerk. At one point, he was driving so recklessly, one passenger's hard shell carry-on which he'd told her to stow in the overhead luggage racks flew out and crashed to the floor, narrowly missing her. He was rude and unhelpful and by the time we arrive in Hollywood, I was glad to be rid of him.
I was surprised that Hollywood Blvd was a ghost town. Aside from a small handful of tourists (less than 10, including me) the streets were deserted along the Walk of Fame. When I first got off, I was a bit worried I was in a sketchy part of town, but none of the people bothered me, save for one rather aggressive tour operator who didn't want to take NO for an answer. I said "No thank you." to her at least 5 times while I kept walking before she finally got the message.
I wandered along and went into a shop to see about getting some t-shirts for the family. The shop I went into was perfect-they had really good deals on really nice shirts and the Mexican lady who ran the place was lovely. As I was walking out, I spotted a penny press. My son and I have pressed pennies on every trip we've been on for years. I was pleased to be able to add three more pennies to our collection.
When I'd had enough, I started retracing my steps on the opposite side of the street. I walked right by The Scientology building. I'd snapped a photo from the other side of the street because hey-Hollyweird! As I passed by it, there were a bunch of women with pamphlets standing outside. I think they were hoping to entice people inside to see "The life of L. Ron Hubbard" (as advertised on the window in big bold letters) or something. I wasn't about to make eye contact and just kept going.
Eventually, I spotted a Starbuck's which was oddly comforting-my home away from home. I popped in to get a drink and discovered that in the US, they still sell the salted caramel cake pops! SCORE! I also bought a couple Hollywood mugs there, as I started a collection of these on our trips 6 months ago. So far we have Whistler, Toronto and Hollywood. I made it back to the bus stop just in time to catch the return bus to the airport. The driver this time could not have been any nicer if he tried. I gave him a decent tip when I got off.
I caught the shuttle back to the hotel, had lunch and hung out with some fellow NMO patients before taking the shuttle back to the airport. I decided to go a bit early because I wanted to have dinner before my flight and I had no idea how bad the lines would be at the security screening. As it was. the lines were bad, but I decided to use the accessible line (membership has its perks) and managed to get through in less than 10 minutes. Dinner was delicious-a decent cheeseburger and then a shopped for a couple more shirts for my guys at Rip Curl. I loved the shirts I bought there-they have a huge full moon on them with the California grizzly in the middle of it.
While waiting for my flight, I saw that Delta had had a plane slide off the runway in the eastern US that day. Then, sitting at my gate, the plane at the gate next to me was delayed while mechanics figured out whether or not a rotor blade was damaged on a flight going to Austin. The airline rep who was giving passengers a blow by blow about the problem and the progress in fixing it was not inspiring confidence. Eventually he said "The mechanics think it's probably okay to fly."
My flight was uneventful until we came to land. We hit the runway hard and then bounced back up into the air. I knew that was
normal and I told my seatmate we were going to hit it hard when we came down again and we did. I was the last person off the plane and I overheard airport staff on their walkie-talkies saying the pilot was requesting an immediate mechanical inspection. If I had to guess, I'd say the landing gear jammed. At least we were able to land safely. Not a good day for Delta.
So...it really was a great trip. I learned so much, made new friends, reconnected with old ones and got a bit of sightseeing in on the side. I am really grateful to the Guthy-Jackson Foundation for making it possible. Oh and after I got back, I discovered that Randy Jackson from American Idol attended NMO Patient Day. It's wacky to think that he heard my presentation about the advocacy work I've been doing!
Here's a photo of him at the conference
. Go figure!

Catching Up!
Hello again! I know it's been some time since I posted. Life has been hectic and intense the last while. Sometimes, you just have to go with it.
I ordered more Moo cards. This time I decided that I wanted to use some of my photography of graffiti to make them. All but the pink "face" were taken in various locations in Whistler. The pink "face" was taken a few years ago of a set of doors on a building in Vancouver that was one of my favourites, but sadly, is no more. The rest of my Moo cards from this latest set are piece of my art that I like and that I've had printed as Moo cards before.
I was completely out of cards and wanted to make sure I had some for my trip to LA in two weeks. Moo always has excellent customer service and they were made and shipped lickity split. I LOVE Moo!
If you've never ordered from Moo before and would like to, you can get 10% off your order by

Here's a gratuitous photo of Indy getting dried off after being out in the rain. He cracks me up. I've never known a dog to love being towelled off as much as he does. He'd stand there all day and let you do it, if you were so inclined. I love his smile. It's too bad it was late at night and so dark when I took this.
If I've been kind of quite the last while, it's because I am dealing a number of things right now. One of those things is an eye issue. I am having significant pain and blurriness in my right eye. I've had my neuro opthamologist look at it and it's not optic neuritis. I trialed a drug and we know if the drug worked that it's exactly what he thinks it is. Well, the new drug
work for the eye pain, but it also created persistent intense headaches as a side effect. I am unable to stay on this particular drug long term because of that, so I ended up getting off it. It was pretty miserable.
Then, because dealing with my eye wasn't enough, I had an accident last weekend. I got my foot caught getting out of the car and hit the dirt hard. I scared my husband-all he could see was my legs and I wasn't moving. He came flying around to my side of the car in a panic until I said "I am okay." Only it turns out, I
okay-I have badly injured my ribs and am now on morphine while it heals. It hurts to breath, to lie down, to move...fun times! So, I am a bit broken at the moment.
I did my yearly interview with a UBC med student two weeks ago. It's always interesting to meet new medical students, tell them my story and then hear what questions they have. I just realised that I've been with this particular program now for 7 years. How time flies! My next meeting with my Health Mentor students is to prepare for the annual symposium which takes place at the end of April.
I am flying off to Los Angeles tomorrow morning to attend the annual NMO Patient Day put on by the
Guthy-Jackson Foundation
. I will be speaking about my advocacy work as a Community Rep for the MS Society of Canada and as a UBC Health Mentor. I am looking forward to hearing what's going on in the world of NMO research. I am also looking forward to poking around LA before I have to fly back. I had plans with a good friend, but she had to cancel due to a death in the family, so I'll be adventuring on my own.
Okay, I'd better go throw some stuff into a suitcase! Catcha on the flip side!

Good Mail Day!
Look what finally arrived in the mail!! I love good mail days!
Here's a peek at my page & interview questions. My friends
Seth Apter
Penelope Harris
are also on this book, but aside from those two, all the other artists are new to me, which will make for an interesting read. Art Journal Kickstarter is full of eyecandy and interesting commentary on each of the artists' creative process and it's sure to inspire anyone who loves art journaling. Want a copy for yourself? You can find it
Seeing my art between the cover just never gets old. It's a thrill every time!

Hello TO!!
Last week I flew to Toronto to meet with the Canadian MS Society's Personnel Grants committee. It's mind blowing that it takes the same amount of time (just over 4 hrs.) to fly 3/4's of the way across Canada as it does for me to drive through the mountains to my in-laws' in the interior.
Along the way, I got to see two of the Great Lakes-Lake Superior (
) and Lake Huron (
). When we were landing in Toronto, I was stunned to discover
there was no snow on the ground!!
Here I'd purchased brand new snow boots just for this trip and there was nothing! It's a good thing I'd packed a pair of shoes. Crazy!
I took the Rocket bus from the airport to Kipling Station to catch the subway (
) into downtown. It reminded me alot of the subway in NYC. So different from our skytrain here-it's a much older system and runs almost entirely underground. I was also surprised that they have actual people sitting in the subway to collect fares, rather than having automated ticket machines like we do in BC.
It was about an hour from the airport to the hotel I stayed in, which was a Hilton right downtown, just a block away from St. Patrick's station. The photo on the right was my view from my hotel room.
Monday night, the Canadian MS Society took our team out for dinner at
The Queen & Beaver
. We had a lovely dinner and then everyone headed back to the hotel to rest up for the big meeting the next day. I won't go into detail about the all-day meeting on Tuesday-that's another post, but let's just say it was intense, hugely interesting and I came away with a full heart and a deep sense of satisfaction for the work our team did together.
Wednesday, I had the entire day to sight see before catching an evening flight home. My friend Jenna, whom I write with on NMO Diaries lives in TO, so we finally had a chance to meet. We had dinner together Tuesday night and then she picked me up on Wednesday morning and drove me all over the city. I really appreciated her taking time out of her busy life to be my tour guide. She did a fantastic job.
We started our day having coffee (tea!) at Casa Coffee in this cool little neighbourhood. Jenna said that in the summer, they close the street here to traffic and it becomes a funky street market. I love the indie of this coffee shop-it had a whole old school candy counter at one end and the ceiling was decorated with a ton of globes. The photo doesn't really do it justice. The conversations of the locals were highly entertaining-it's such a small space that you can't help but overhear what other people are saying. I kept catching snippets of things like "She was only wearing a g-sting and a fur coat..." and "Here comes the Russian Mafia!" and "I am totally dressed for fashion week man!". I had to keep my back to the locals because I couldn't stop laughing.
Here's Jenna and I in the coffee shop. I think I need a selfie stick!
Afterwards, we made our way to the alley ways where Rick Mercer does his rants for his show. Of everything you could see in Toronto, this was the one thing I was most wanting to see.
The lane ways seem to go on forever. There's so much amazing graffiti and I only managed to see a small fraction of it. Part of that had to do with how cold it was: -13C. It was too cold to be standing around for too long and taking off your mittens to take iphone photos. I might have fared better with my DSLR camera, (I can operate it with gloves on) but I opted not to bring it this trip. I did however record my own rant which I will be posting to Rick Mercer as soon as I get a chance to upload it. Silly but fun!
We did a drive by of the Hockey Hall of Fame, or as die hard Canadian hockey fans would call it, church. (Hockey is a religion in Canada.) Really cool building-Toronto has some gorgeous architecture.
And then there was of course, the obligatory viewing on the CN Tower. Jenna very kindly offered to take me up, but as we were sitting there on the street, the observation deck was being swallowed up by clouds. No point in going all the way up to see absolutely nothing! I was fine with it-I've done the Space Needle in Seattle, so it wasn't really a big deal to not go up.
I loved the little trolley buses. This shot shows the old ones. The new ones look very much like Japanese bullet trains. I had hoped to find time to ride one, even briefly, but just didn't get to it.
For lunch, we went to
Trattoria Nervosa
in Yorkville. It was a really cool Italian eatery. We ordered a traditional Italian pizza and a Caesar salad to share. The selfie (
) was taken in the entryway. I loved the medallion on the floor. The bike was just around the corner in front of one of the many trendy little shops. I had a great time visiting with Jenna and getting to know her. We'll see one another again in early March when we both fly to LA for NMO Patient Day.
Jenna dropped me off at one of the subway stations after lunch and I made my way back to the airport, just in time to get through an enormous backlog at the security checkpoint. Fortunately, I was able to go through an accessible line, which was a life saver. My flight home was rough-we had major turbulence the entire way and I didn't get out of my seat the whole time. Normally, I don't mind turbulence-that's how you know you're flying, but I was feeling a bit under the weather and so it wasn't as much fun as it normally would be. Fortunately, our flight arrived 1/2 hour early, so that kind of made up for it.
I really enjoyed my trip to Toronto. I'd never been before and that's now as far east in Canada as I've ever been. I plan to write about the actual work I was doing there for the Canadian MS Society, but it will be posted over on their site, when I do.
So...I am home now and playing catch up with various things-laundry, emails, blogging, etc. (Oh the glamour of it all!) I have a few projects in motion that need my attention. I'll be making a list first thing tomorrow morning. No rest for the wicked!

As 2014 Fades to Black
Contrary to popular belief, I have not fallen off the face of the earth! I've just been super busy not only with the usual holiday hustle and bustle, but also reviewing 24 grants for the Canadian MS Society. It's alot of very concentrated reading and then equally thoughtful writing. I've managed to get all 24 reviews written and after New Year's I will work on editing what I've written. It's challenging but interesting work.
In between times, I have also managed to steal some time to make myself something! Two weeks ago, I decided I really wanted to make myself a journal for 2015. I took a really old book I'd been saving and started working on transforming it. I bought it originally because it was small, (I love books that fit comfortably in the palm of my hand) it was leather and it had some cool gold hinges printed on the cover.
As I began pulling it apart, I realised that this book was printed in 1914, making it 100 years old this year! Really cool! The middle photo is of the journal lying open to show some of the pages I sewed in. It's about an inch and a half thick. I love a good chunky monkey journal.
The final photo is how I altered the cover. The photo on the cover is actually a vintage photograph I picked up in an antique store. I loved the strong women of various generations standing in their garden. It called to my prairie roots. I didn't feel bad about using an original photograph because 1. this journal is
and 2. oddly enough, there were several of the exact same photo in the pile when I bought it, so I bought them all. I've already been working in my 100 year old journal! (It was just too hard to resist!)
I have begun preparing for my trip to Toronto in late January. (I am flying out to TO for 3 days to meet with the Grants Review committee.) Unlike the west coast, Toronto has snow. Being a Winnipegger, born and raised, I know all about snow so I knew I would have to get myself a decent pair of winter boots. Before the holidays, I decided to pop into a store just to see what they had. I looked at aisles of the most ridiculous boots-boots that were basically "fashion" boots-
warm and with heels high enough that if you hit a patch of black ice, you were just spoiling for a fractured ankle. NO THANK YOU!
Anyway, getting down to the end of the aisle, I spotted some boots that looked like they would do. They were mostly black with a hint of lime green trim and really good tread. I found my size, opened the box and was surprised to find the exact same pair, but in
buffalo plaid
buffalo plaid!! Of course I
to have them and I got the last pair in the store.
(Photo credit Delish General Store)
The funny thing was that
Delish General Store
had a buffalo plaid infinity scarf I had been coveting for forever. My husband know this was on my Xmas wish list so Tamara, owner of Delish General Store was able to make sure he got the right one when he came in to buy it for me. I am now suitably outfitted for TO! I shall be warm and toasty! (And stylish!) I am laughing about the boots because living on the west coast where we don't get weather warranting the wearing of snow boots very often, (if at all) my new boots will last me for a
long time. Good thing I
What would Xmas be without a new toy to play with? My son and his girlfriend very sweetly gave me a Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 in vintage aqua. (Pictured on the left.) It's prints credit card sized photos (3 3/8 tall x 2 1/8 wide) which are the perfect size for adding into a journal. The camera is very light weight, since it's made from plastic and measures about 4 1/2 inches square. I think it will tuck nicely into my carry-on bag for my trip.
Tonight marks a special occasion-my husband and I are celebrating the 25th anniversary of our first date. It's hard to believe that happened a quarter of a century ago. Man, I feel
! In typical Canadian fashion, our first date took place at a hockey rink, watching the Canucks vs. Philadelphia game. (My husband is a huge Philly fan.) We were fated to be together.
Truth be told, I had the best intentions of writing some end of the year, sum-it-all-up post, but just never seemed to find the time to do it, so this will have to do. I want to thank everyone who has taken the time to leave me comments over the last year-I appreciate it! I want to wish you a happy, healthy, creative 2015 and may we all continue to find ways to make this world a better place.
Here's to 2015-may she be a good one!

On The *Really* Small Screen
(Filming at UBC in early October, 2014)
Twice this year, I did some filming for a new medical course that has been in development at the University of British Columbia called the
Certificate in Collaborative Practice for Health Professionals
. This new course is designed to help health care professionals strengthen communication and collaboration skills in order to enhance patient-centred care. I have been serving on an advisory committee that has been helping in the development of this certificate course, along with several of my fellow Health Mentors over the last year. The work has been both challenging and interesting. What I've loved best about it is that I know that the work we are doing is going to have a very positive impact on how health care is delivered in our province.
Yesterday afternoon, I received an email from the project manager that the video component of the course is finally finished and available for me to view online. While I can't show you the videos, I can share a couple screen shots!
In this module, I talk about some of the aspects of my patient experience and the impact those experiences have had. I had the opportunity to acknowledge what an amazing family doctor I have by sharing how she makes a difference in my life by the way in which she delivers care. When it comes to be patient-focused, she sets the bar exceptionally high. I am extremely lucky to have her as part of my care team.
In this second screen shot, you'll notice I've got new glasses and a new haircut. (This section was shot in early October.) In this module, I am talking about my views on leadership within my health care team. Who the health care team thinks is the leader and who the patient believes it to be can be two very different things.
I think it's so sweet how they have the little orange circle on the screen that says "Learn more about our Lelainia". It's clickable and when you click it, up comes a brief bio:
This course is currently available across British Columbia and I've been told that at some point, it may expand beyond provincial borders. I can't tell you what a tremendous privilege it's been to be a part of the team helping to develop this certificate program. I am incredibly proud of the work we have done so far, but we're not done yet! The work continues with our focus shifting to ethics. Again, very important and interesting conversations are happening. I am learning so much, even as I am lending my own thoughts and experiences to the process.
When I was watching the finished video clips, I was getting teary just thinking about how this is going to change lives. Advocacy is something I am incredibly passionate about and it just gives me so much pleasure to be able to use my knowledge and skills in such a meaningful way.

Anyone know about the block feature?

I got really tired of someone poo pooing my threads. Being aggressive and divisive. Arguing instead of debating. I stood up for this person over and over until.... I was done. *block*

Have Viking ranges improved over the last few years?
Couldn't find any recent reviews about Vikings (maybe everybody stopped buying them after all the negative reviews here!). AJ Madison has a Viking gas range at a price cheaper than the Elux Pro DF. Just wondering if they've made any strides recently. FWIW, the model is Viking Professional Custom Series VGIC5366BX
I had a newer Viking range that I got in January '13 and I didn't like it at all, well, other than the way it looked, which was very nice. But you are looking at a different model, the open burner one, which may be better. That was the one I had intended to purchase, but the salesman told me the open burner was no longer available and I took him at his word (it is still available today). My oven got extremely hot on the exterior, the control panel, and the knobs. And the oven temp was all over the place and couldn't even bake a decent batch of cookies. I returned mine and got a Wolf ... much happier!!

We visited in April and apparently it had just recently opened.
We had a guided tour that lasted approximately an hour. He took us through the greenhouse and showed us cacti varieties from around the world as well as those that are indigenous to Mexico.
Then we went for a tour of the sculpture garden where a local artist is displaying some of his bronze and granite sculptures. After that, we went for a tour of the gardens. They were beautiful, and the cacti will be spectacular when they are in bloom this summer. We were a little too early to see the cacti in full boom but we did see a few that we're blooming early. As well, they had just recently planted a labyrinth flowering shrubs. It will make a beautiful ,fragrant labyrinth when fully grown.
This would be a lovely spot for wedding photos!

Clawfoot Tubs...help what brand-where to buy?
Looking a ClawFoot Tubs...would like at least 67"....where did you get yours and at what cost. Which ones feel more comfortable to you??
Just saw this site:
Has anyone ever used them???
I also looked at www.vintagetub.com
and www.signaturehardware.com
I have a Randolph Morris from Vintage Tub and am very happy with it. Prices are listed online. Pay close attention to the width, there is not a lot of variance in most claw foots and they are on the narrow side.
Mine is a double ended with no holes drilled. The only thing that I would do differently is attach the supply line brackets to the drain line instead of the wall.
Here is a link that might be useful: bracket that I should have used

ST. LOUIS (AP) — The St. Louis Convention and Visitors Commission said Tuesday it has paid $2 million to the St. Louis Rams to cover the team's legal fees for the dispute over upgrades to the Edward Jones Dome that resulted in arbitration.
St. Louis CVC pays $2M to Rams for legal fees
CVC spokeswoman Donna Andrews said payment was made May 20. Rams spokesman Artis Twyman confirmed the team was paid.
The CVC operates the dome that the Rams have played in since 1995, the year they moved to St. Louis from Anaheim, Calif. The dome was built with taxpayer funds to lure an NFL team.
The 30-year lease agreement allows the Rams to leave after the 2014 season if the dome is not deemed to be among the top quarter of the NFL's 31 stadiums. The two sides were far apart on how to get to that top-tier level, prompting arbitration.
In February, the panel of arbitrators sided with the Rams' far more expensive upgrade plan and ordered the CVC to pay the Rams' legal fees.
The CVC had proposed $124 million in renovations that included better amenities and a huge new scoreboard. The Rams didn't put a price tag on their plan but CVC and city officials believe it would cost $700 million to $800 million. The team's plan included installation of a new roof with a sliding panel, replacing much of the brick exterior with a glass front and re-routing a nearby street.
Unless the CVC implements the plan, the Rams' lease becomes year-to-year starting in March 2015. That creates the possibility that the Rams could leave St. Louis. City leaders have said it is unlikely the Rams' plan would be implemented.
