Clients may post notifications for names, and may monitor names for posted notifications. Clients may request notification delivery by a number of different methods. .Pp Clients desiring to monitor names in the notification system must register with the system, providing a name and other information required for the desired notification delivery method. Clients are given an integer token representing the registration. .Pp Notifications may be coalesced in some cases. Multiple events posted for a name in rapid succession may result in a single notification sent to clients registered for notification for that name. Clients checking for changes using the notify_check() routine cannot determine if more than one event pas been posted since a previous call to notify_check() for that name. .Pp "False positives" may occur in notify_check() when used with a token generated by notify_register_check() due to implementation constraints. This behavior may vary in future releases. .Ss notify_post This routine causes the system to send a notification for the given name to all clients that have registered for notifications of this name. This is the only API required for an appication that only produces notifications. .Ss notify_register_check Registers for passive notification for the given name. The routine generates a token that may be used with the .Fn notify_check routine to check if any notifications have been posted for the name. The check is implemented using a shared memory scheme, making the check very fast and efficient. The implementation has a limited amount of shared memory, so developers are encouraged to use this mechanism sparingly. It is also important to release the resources consumed by a registration with .Fn notify_cancel when they are no longer required by the application. .Ss notify_register_signal registers a client for notification delivery via a signal. This fits well with the design of many UNIX daemons that use a signal such as SIGHUP to reinitialize of reset internal state information. Clients may use the registration token generated by this routine to check for notifications using .Fn notify_check . This allows the application to determine if a signal was received as the result of a notification, or is the signal was generated by some other source. It also permits the application that registers for signal notification for multiple names to determine which name was associated with the notification. .Ss notify_register_mach_port registers a client for notification delivery via mach messaging. Notifications are delivered by an empty message sent to a mach port. By default, a new port is created by a call to this routine. A mach port previously created by a call to this routine may be used for notifications if a pointer to that port is passed in to the routine and NOTIFY_REUSE is set in the flags parameter. The notification service must be able to extract send rights to the port. .Pp Note that the kernel limits the size of the message queue for any port. If it is important that notifications should not be lost due to queue overflow, clients should service messages quickly, and be cautious in using the same port for notifications for more than one name. .Pp A notification message has an empty message body. The msgh_id field in the mach message header will have the value of the notification token. If a port is reused for multiple notification registrations, the msgh_id value may be used to determine which name generated the notification. .Ss notify_register_file_descriptor Register for notification by a write to a file descriptor. .Pp By default, a new file descriptor is created and a pointer to it is returned as the value of the "notify_fd" parameter. A file descriptor created by a previous call to this routine may be used for notifications if a pointer to that file descriptor is passed in to the routine and NOTIFY_REUSE is set in the flags parameter. .Pp Note that the kernel limits the buffer space for queued writes on a file descriptor. If it is important that notifications should not be lost due to queue overflow, clients should service messages quickly, and be cautious in using the same file descriptor for notifications for more than one name. .Pp Notifications are delivered by an integer value written to the file descriptor. The value will match the notification token for which the notification was generated. .Ss notify_check Checks if any notifications have been posted for a name. The output parameter "check" is set to 0 for false, 1 for true. A true indication is returned the first time notify_check is called for a token. Subsequent calls give a true indication when notifications have been posted for the name associated with the notification token. .Pp .Fn notify_check may be used with any notification token produced by any of the notification registration routines. A fast check based on a shared memory implementation is used when the token was generated by .Fn notify_register_check . Other tokens are checked by a call to the notification server. .Ss notify_cancel Cancel notification and free resources associated with a notification token. Mach ports and file descriptor associated with a token are released (deallocated or closed) when all registration tokens associated with the port or file descriptor have been cancelled. .Sh NAMESPACE CONVENTIONS Names in the namespace must be NULL-terminated. Names should be encoded as UTF-8 strings. .Pp The namespace supported by the system is unstructured, but users of this API are highly encouraged to follow the reverse-ICANN domain name convention used for Java package names and for System Preferences on Mac OS X. For example, "com.mydomain.example.event". .Pp Apple Computer reserves the portion of the namespace prefixed by "com.apple.". This policy is not enforced in the current implementation, but may be in the future. .Pp Third party developers are encouraged to choose a prefix for names that will avoid conflicts in the shared namespace. .Pp The portion of the namespece prefixed by the string "self." is set aside for private use by applications. That is, each client may use that part of the namespace for intra-process notifications. These notifications are private to each individual process and are not propagated between processes. .Sh USAGE EXAMPLES A notification producer. .Pp #include <notify.h> ... .Pp notify_post("com.eg.random.event"); .Pp A client using notify_check() to determine when to invalidate a cache. .Pp #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <notify.h> .Pp int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int status, token, check; .Pp status = notify_register_check("com.eg.update", &token); if (status != NOTIFY_STATUS_OK) { fprintf(stderr, "registration failed (%u)\\n", status); exit(status); } .Pp build_my_cache(); .Pp ... .Pp status = notify_check(token, &check); if ((status == NOTIFY_STATUS_OK) && (check != 0)) { /* An update has occurred - invalidate the cache */ reset_my_cache(); } .Pp ... .Pp A client using file descriptor notifications. .Pp #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> #include <errno.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/time.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <notify.h> .Pp int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int nf, status, rtoken, qtoken, t; fd_set readfds; .Pp status = notify_register_file_descriptor("com.eg.random.event", &nf, 0, &rtoken); if (status != NOTIFY_STATUS_OK) { fprintf(stderr, "registration failed (%u)\\n", status); exit(status); } .Pp status = notify_register_file_descriptor("com.eg.random.quit", &nf, NOTIFY_REUSE, &qtoken); if (status != NOTIFY_STATUS_OK) { fprintf(stderr, "registration failed (%u)\\n", status); exit(status); } .Pp FD_ZERO(&readfds); FD_SET(nf, &readfds); .Pp for (;;) { status = select(nf+1, &readfds, NULL, NULL, NULL); if (status <= 0) continue; if (!FD_ISSET(nf, &readfds)) continue; .Pp status = read(nf, &t, sizeof(int)); if (status < 0) { perror("read"); break; } .Pp if (t == rtoken) printf("random event\\n"); else if (t == qtoken) break; } .Pp printf("shutting down\n"); notify_cancel(rtoken); notify_cancel(qtoken); exit(0); } .Sh HISTORY These functions first appeared in Mac OS X 10.3. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr read 2 , .Xr select 2 , .Xr signal 3

Review: Herradura Reposado Tequila
Posted by Arctic Wolf on June 4, 2012
Thirty miles from Guadalajara, in the state of Jalisco, in the town of Amatitan, is where the Herradura LDN can be found. Herradura LDN makes a true 100% Weber Blue agave tequila. The agave is cooked in old stone ovens, and distilled on old copper pot stills.
Herradura Reposado tequila has won numerous awards and accolades for the Herradura company. As well, Herradura LDN is credited on more than one website as pioneering the movement towards aging tequila in oak and making Reposado and Anejo Tequila. Reposado means rested, and literally the implication is that this style of tequila 'rests' in oak. By law reposado tequila must spend more than two months and less than one year in oak to be considered "Reposado". The Herradura Reposado rests in oak for eleven months.
I first reviewed the Herradura Reposado on my website in January of 2010. Recently I received a new bottle, and this past weekend I put it through the paces of my review system and revised my original review. Here is an excerpt from that review:

9 to 5: Bedard's day of work leads to first '12 win
Left-hander tallies nine K's in five frames as Bucs beat Braves
ATLANTA -- The pressure was on Erik Bedard. After having been called the best 0-4 pitcher in baseball, after enough tales of deprivation to make him sound like a Charles Dickens character, the left-hander had a lead on Saturday night, and it actually grew.
But nobody came up bigger at Turner Field than Bedard. Especially in the fifth inning, when he was offered a detour around the meat of the Braves' lineup and instead chose to ram through it. Largely due to that assertive response to trouble, the Bucs outlasted Atlanta, 4-2. Clutch two-out hitting, off-the-drawing-board bullpen relays, some overdue good fortune -- and Jose Tabata's game-ending circus catch against the right-center wall -- also had a lot to do with the victory in front of 34,086 disappointed Braves fans. But no one left a bigger stamp on this game than the left-hander who is as hard to read as he is to hit. It can never be as simple as Bedard always makes it sound. Even after his most arduous outing of the season, he just said all he was trying to do was "make strikes and get outs." "A very blue-collar effort from Erik Bedard. It's probably the most he has had to grind in his five starts," manager Clint Hurdle said. "We got to see a guy reach down to get through five. There were no quick, easy outs for Erik." The hardest moment of a hard night came with two outs in that fifth inning, runners on second and third. That meant that, in a 4-1 game, cleanup hitter Dan Uggla came up as the potential tying run. A well-attended summit was held on the mound, the idea of pitching around Uggla coming up for discussion. "We talked about it, but I said, 'I don't like that. This guy's hot, but there are places you can get every good hitter,'" Hurdle said. Bedard went to that place, striking out Uggla on some nasty breaking pitches. "I'm stubborn," Bedard said of the option he'd been given to dodge Uggla. That was Bedard's ninth strikeout and last pitch of the game. In five innings, he allowed five hits and a run, with two walks and the most strikeouts by a Pittsburgh southpaw since Paul Maholm rang up 10 Phillies on Aug. 8, 2008. "And he needed every one of them," Hurdle said. "He did a nice job. But his tank was empty at that time." From there, the Pirates' bullpen precariously crossed the four-inning bridge to victory. Chris Resop, Juan Cruz, Jason Grilli and Joel Hanrahan followed Bedard to the mound, and ultimately Hanrahan had his fourth save. Grilli struck out the side in the eighth, and Hanrahan added two more whiffs in the ninth -- before pinch-hitter Eric Hinske crushed the drive that sent Tabata into the highlight reel. The total of 14 strikeouts matched the team's most in a nine-inning game since June 26, 2004, when the staff totaled 15 in Cincinnati. The Bucs had gone into their first meeting with Atlanta right-hander Randall Delgado armed with the typical scouting report, and with Hurdle's own observations. "He's got a big arm. You've got to make him throw strikes, show a little patience," the Pittsburgh manager had said. "The kid's gritty. I watched the tape, and he seems to be a tough kid. Puts his head down, goes hard, gets through it." The Pirates were patient enough to make Delgado throw 22 pitches in the first inning. He minimized the damage by eventually escaping a two-on jam, but only after Garrett Jones' sacrifice fly had scored Alex Presley, who had begun the game with a single, for a 1-0 lead. Despite Bedard's well-documented lack of offensive support, it was not the first lead he had been given this season. He had 1-0 leads on April 11 against the Dodgers and on April 16 against Arizona, but immediately gave both back. Two major differences this time: Bedard did not give it back, then the Bucs padded that slim lead. Run-scoring hits with two outs in the second by Presley -- who now has a 12-game hitting streak -- and Tabata made it 3-0. Atlanta trimmed that lead on Uggla'a RBI single in the third, but the Bucs built it back up in the fifth, chasing Delgado on back-to-back one-out doubles by Neil Walker and Pedro Alvarez. Walker's double was his first extra-base hit of the season. Alvarez's double was his first since the third inning; the third baseman, whose average continued to climb toward .200 (.176), has five extra-base hits in his last four games. "Doubles seem to feed your entire offense. We need those extra-base hits," Hurdle said. The Braves took advantage of Bedard's departure as Jason Heyward led off the sixth with a double against Resop and eventually scored on Juan Francisco's infield grounder to make it 4-2. More danger lurked for the next man out of the bullpen, Cruz, in the next inning. But instead of the game turning, Cruz turned out the lights on the Braves. Michael Bourn began the inning with a single, and the speedster took off for second on the full-count pitch to Martin Prado -- who smoked a grounder up the middle, but right at Walker, who had run over to cover the bag. Step on second, throw to first -- double play, the discouraging sort the Pirates had been running into. "We've seen that play before, from the other dugout," Hurdle said, nodding. "Who wouldn't run Michael Bourn on a 3-and-2 count? That was huge -- absolutely. We were in a little precarious position there."Tom Singer is a reporter for MLB.com and writes an MLBlog Change for a Nickel. He can also be found on Twitter @Tom_Singer.

Step Six: Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character
I thought that I had something posted here for Step Six, and was surprised to discover that it wasn't here. I received an email from someone requesting an outline of information on taking Step Six, and decided to post the basics of my reply here for now.
There is some good information about Step Six in the book Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions... but, I don't recommend it for someone who is taking the Twelve Steps for the first time.
The information in the 12 & 12 is good to use AFTER you have already completed taking the 12 Steps using the precise intructions in the Big Book, and you are now learning to "practice the Twelve Stepsâ€

The Evolution Deceit
The Creation Of The Universe
Chapter V: The Blue PlanetThe Earth, with its atmosphere and oceans, its complex biosphere, its crust of relatively oxidised, silica rich, sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks overlaying [a magnesium silicate mantle and core] of metallic iron, with its ice caps, deserts, forests, tundra, jungles, grasslands, fresh-water lakes, coal beds, oil deposits, volcanoes, fumaroles, factories, automobiles, plants, animals, magnetic field, ionosphere, mid-ocean ridges, convincing mantle... is a system of stunning complexity. An imaginary space-traveler approaching the solar system from interstellar space would encounter a very interesting scene. Let us imagine that we are such travelers and that we're arriving at the plane of the ecliptic–the great circle of the celestial sphere in which all the major planets of our solar system move. The first planet we will meet is Pluto. This planet is quite a cold place. The temperature is around -238°C. The planet has a thin of atmosphere that is in a gaseous state only when it draws slightly nearer to the sun in its rather elliptical orbit. At other times, the atmosphere becomes a mass of ice. Pluto, briefly, is a lifeless sphere enveloped in ice. Advancing towards the Sun, you next encounter Neptune. It is cold too: approximately -218°C. The atmosphere, consisting of hydrogen, helium and methane, is poisonous for life. Winds blowing nearly 2,000 kilometers an hour blast across the surface of the planet. Next is Uranus: a gaseous planet with rocks and ice on its surface. The temperature is -214°C and the atmosphere again consists of hydrogen, helium and methane–unsuitable for human beings to live in. You reach Saturn after Uranus. This is the second biggest planet in the solar system and is particularly notable for the system of rings encircling it. These rings are made up of gases, rock and ice. One of the many interesting things about Saturn is that it is composed entirely of gas: 75% hydrogen and 25% helium and its density is less than that of water. If you want to "land" on Saturn, you'd better produce your spaceship to be like an inflatable boat! The average temperature is again very low: -178°C. Coming up next is Jupiter: the biggest planet in the solar system, it is 318 times the size of Earth. Like Saturn, Jupiter is also a gaseous planet. Since it is difficult to distinguish between "atmosphere" and "surface" on such planets, it is hard to say what the "surface temperature" is but in the upper reaches of the atmosphere, the temperature is -143°C. A notable feature of Jupiter's atmosphere is something called the Great Red Spot. It was first noticed 300 hundred years ago. Astronomers now know that it is an enormous storm system that has been raging in the Jovian atmosphere for centuries. It is big enough to swallow up a couple of planets the size of Earth whole. Jupiter may be a visually thrilling planet, but it's no home for people, who would be killed instantly by its freezing temperatures, violent winds, and intense radiation.
Then comes Mars. The atmosphere of Mars cannot sustain human life because it is mostly carbon dioxide. The surface is everywhere pocked with craters: the result of eons of meteor impacts and strong winds blowing across the surface that can raise sandstorms that last for days or weeks at a time. The temperature varies rather much but drops as low as -53°C. There has been much speculation that Mars might harbor life, but all the evidence shows that this is a lifeless world too. Speeding away from Mars and heading toward the Sun, we notice a blue planet that we decide to skip for the time being while we explore some more. Our search brings us to a planet called Venus. This planet is everywhere shrouded in brilliant white clouds but the temperature at the surface is 450°C, which is enough to cause lead to melt. The atmosphere is composed mostly of carbon dioxide. At the surface, the atmospheric pressure is equal to 90 terrestrial atmospheres: on Earth, you'd have to descend a kilometer into the sea before you reached a pressure that high. The atmosphere of Venus contains layers of gaseous sulfuric acid several kilometers deep. When it rains on Venus, it isn't raining rain you know: it's raining acid. No human or other life could exist in such a hellish place for a second. We press on and come to Mercury, a small, rocky world, blasted by the heat and radiation of the Sun. Its rotation has been so slowed down by its proximity to the Sun that the planet makes only three full axial rotations in the time it takes to revolve twice around the Sun. In other words, two of Mercury's "years" is equal to three of its "days". Because of this prolonged diurnal cycle, one side of Mercury becomes extremely hot while the other is extremely cold. The difference between the daytime and nighttime sides of Mercury is as much as 1,000°C. Of course such an environment cannot support life. Even Mars, the only other planet in the solar system to come close to resembling the Earth physically, is nothing but an arid, lifeless ball of rock. To sum up, we've taken looks at eight planets and not one of them, including their fifty-three satellites offers anything that might serve as a haven for life. Each of them is lifeless ball of gas, ice, or rock. But the blue planet Earth, that we skipped over a while ago? That one's very different from the others. With its hospitable atmosphere, surface features, ambient temperatures, magnetic field, and supply of elements and set just the right distance from the Sun, it is evident that it was specially created to be a home for life.

The quality of the ring is top notch. It is a little smaller them I expected but the quality makes you forget about it very fast.
The ring is beautiful I loved it but did not go with my set I have returned it and have had trouble with the return
I got my ring and it is beautiful! It shines nicely and looks great. The price is nice, better than what you would pay at most jewelry stores. Defenately a great deal on a great ring.
Purchased for my wife so that she would have a wedding/anniversary ring that would complement her yellow gold watch and other yellow gold jewelry. Choices among yellow gold diamond rings are few, and this one filled the bill admirably. She is quite pleased with it! Once again, a search ended successfully with Overstock!
Very beautiful ring.I can see no shaddows. I chcked a few jewelers and for the price I am very satisfied.

I am slowly changing my opinion about gnome3
don't get me wrong it still looks like ass, fat and bloated and stupid...
if you dig thru devianart and that extensions gnome site you are actually able to make gnome3 look half way decent.
I'd say this theme and setup make it look ok even compared to elementary os.
the gnome devs are ok, just a little misguided and lacking refinement

Pulling the Emotional Trigger
Sunday morning: today is a bound to be decent day. The plan (see? making plans again!) is brunch with friends followed by a bike ride along a closed-off section of road near Lake Washington. It's a Pacific Northwest thing: you eat something organicky like free-range bacon from pigs that were hugged at least once a day, and then you do something outdoorsy. Then you come home and take a well-deserved nap.
And then if you're lucky, you get to have a post-nap bout of sex in the bedroom while your mother leaves a lengthy message on the answering machine about the new futon she just bought from Dania. You ignore her sing-songy voice and bite your lower lip, attempting to concentrate on that latest sexual fantasy instead, hoping you're not a bad person for not frantincally disentangling yourself from your partner and running naked into the other room to pick up the phone. It's your own mother, for god's sake! You can have intercourse any old time, but your parents are getting OLD! They might be dead soon! And then, you'll look back and wish you'd taken every opportunity to talk to them in person....
Anyway. Don't ask me where THAT tangent came from. I really am going breakfast-eating and bike-riding with friends today, but sort of made up the sex-and-mother-on-phone bit. I think my brain is on overdrive this morning.
* * *
Moving on to the pre-point point of this post (not the real point):
As a handful of you might vaguely recall, about four months after Zachary's dirth, Kevin and I went to Ecuador to "reconnect with our backpacking, beer-drinking, foreign-travelling" selves (you should see my updated passport photo, which was taken a mere six-weeks after The Death: I look like one of those "after" pictures from Faces of Meth. One of these days I'll scan it and show it to you for laughs).
As all you bloggers out there know, writing is one of the best, most cathartically awesome activities that a person can possibly do when hit with something traumatic. Am I right or am I right? So while in Ecuador, I started keeping a journal-like thingy on a scrap of lined paper. Over the next year, I drank a shit-ton of coffee and wrote more and more. That scrap of paper turned into lots of scraps of paper, which turned into a gigantic Microsoft Word document, which somehow morphed into a full-fledged memoir about dead-baby-motherhood. Astoundingly, somebody thought it was decent, and last week I signed a contract to have it published through Catalyst Press, small publisher in San Fransisco.
The thing with the memoir is, honestly I don't even care if it sells. Well, that's not totally true: if I can make up my cost of replacing laser ink cartridges and bring in enough to take myself and Kevin out to dinner at a fancy restaurant to celebrate - that would be nice. But I didn't write it for money. I wrote it because it felt good to write, and because I needed to generate some raunchy humor about the whole mess before I died of sadness. When the book comes out in 2010, I think I'll like having some closure to that year of highly caffeinated writing, and something to hand over to my parents, who are going to be proud of me.
And ya know, even as we all creep into our 30s and 40s and beyond, isn't making our parents proud of us STILL about the grandest feelings on earth? For me it is.
* * *
Now, here's the REAL point:
I've already got aNOTHER cool book concept up my sleeve (thanks, caffeine!), and I'm going to be tapping your brains about it from time to time. Truthfully, it's not something I can even attempt to do without input from other dead-baby mommas (can I just say DBM from now on?). So it's really going to be more of a collaborative effort, the way I see it. And hey: if you articulate an idea brilliantly, I might even quote you directly in the book, which I can't imagine you not enjoying.
Essentially, my next book idea is a slim, down-and-dirty KuKd survival manual written in a tone and style that "speaks" to a young(ish), smart/savvy/cynical/pissed/saddened audience of women and men (ok fine, mostly women) who have just undergone miscarriage or stillbirth.
Right now, Empty Cradle, Broken Heart is about the closest thing there is these days to a KuKd survival guide. I'm picturing something about half that size, written in a younger, more girl-talky, gritty tone, with a military girl-scout cover like something you'd carry around if you were lost in the woods. Its a book that will require lots of research, and I picture it having some similar sections as Empty Cradle - things like "you may be feeling _______" with various survival tips scattered throughout.
I don't have a catchy title yet, but for now I'm just going to lamely and boringly refer to it as "The KuKd Survival Manual." As I said, you'll likely get tapped for ideas here from time to time. I'm going to need other seasoned, wise DBM's like you to gather quotes for the book and help me sure that what we tell the audience of this book (our poor friends who are JUST NOW going through what we've gone through) isn't completely off the wall.
And guess what: that starts right here, this very Sunday morning! Here we go.
DBMs, put your thinking caps on and help me out: Do you think it's beneficial to expose yourself to sad, even baby-laden situations sometimes during the year or so after KuKd, for the purpose of deliberately opening the crying/feeling floodgates?
As in, is that something you'd ever recommend to a friend who just lost her baby? I know I know I know. It seems like a completely out-there and sadistic idea. But before you scream out NOOOOOO, read on -and then you can still scream out NOOOOO if you want to:
Recently, somebody wrote to me with an Ask a Dead Baby Momma question: "What are some tips for avoiding baby showers?" A perfectly valid question. Why would you ever want to expose yourself to something that's going to be upsetting? As queen of baby-shower avoidance back in the day, I know that feeling well.
Even more recently, fellow blogger Tina pointed out this blurb from Empty Cradle:
"There is research showing that tears are a biologically necessary way of relieving stress-there is evidence that tears remove stress-induced toxins from the body. Holding back tears can induce stress, resulting in a variety of psychological and physical symptoms, including exacerbation of preexisting conditions ..."
So true, isn't it? Crying is good. It's healthy. It feels right. There just isn't anything but a good, hard cry. The problem is - for me at least - there are times when you know you should be crying because you're still sad, but the tears just don't come. One of my DBM friends in Seattle was just lamenting to me about this peculiar condition - when that post-KuKd numb sensation takes over and you just can't seem to...well...feel. It's frustrating to know there's something in there, a great big scary ball of grief, and yet you can't seem to access it in a productive and helpful way.
It made me think of the times when, about eight months after Zachary's dirth, I did - in fact- start reluctantly going to stuff: baby b-day parties, gatherings with babies. Not all the time, just once in a while. Nothing triggered me to feel quite like those events. The drives home from those were always soaked in tears, with me having to pull over to blow my nose on my hair. For all of the obvious reasons, they made me sad. The reminded me of what was lost, what could have been, what wasn't.
But somehow, deep down, I also remember enjoying releasing that floodgate of emotion so easily, that visceral sense of being reminded, poked and prodded, as though Zachary was with me at that moment saying: "Remember me? I was here, and now I'm not."
So I'm wondering, could it be GOOD to expose yourself to shit like that? Four months, eight months, a year after you lose your own child? I mean, not right away, but months later? Or is that so potentially harmful that it isn't worth it? Is it best to skillfully avoid hurtful situations to keep yourself in-tact, or is it OK to let yourself fall apart from time to time?
OK, I'm thinking so hard in circles right now that I need to take a break. Off to change into my biking attire; looking forward to thoughts from the peanut gallery!

First of all, congratulations on the book deal. AWESOME. and the second book idea is fantastic. I wanted something more along my lines of thinking when Lucy died, even though I read Empty Cradle. I mean, I wanted to know the real answers to the questions. Like not "Is it okay to feel anger?" But more along the lines of "Is it okay to want to smash things? How do you go about having a plate-smashing, wine-drinking, punkrock listening day?" or "What do you say when the one friend you still talk to says, 'But noone knows what to say to you since your baby died.'" Now, I know the answer is: "Neither did I, but I then I fucking googled it. Over ninety thousand hits come up. Pick one."
Anyway, the question is: does one recommend dbm attend events like baby showers to release their emotions? I think it is good to let oneself fall apart, and open the proverbial floodgates. I always found for me, those moments came when I least expect it, and the showers and stuff come with weeks advanced notice, and I plan, and feel anxious for weeks, and the day is rather pleasantly not as bad as the weeks before.
Hope that helps. With love. - August 9, 2009 at 9:28 AM

I think this is a completely persoanl and situational question. There are some days when I would be okay with going, but some days when there is no way I would go. It goes without saying that it would depend who the shower is for, too. I would much rather, if I can have control over the situation, have my "breakdowns" in private. I would probably opt not to go to a baby shower for quite a while. Mostly, though, it is because I would feel like everyone has "an eye" on me to see how I am doing. And I, personally, would rather not be in that situation.
Maybe that helps you, probaby doesn't. But whether I'm writing on my blog or writing in someone's comments, it always is in some way therapeutic for me. So thank you...for the opportunity. Good luck on your book venture. Sounds very healthy. I wish I could do something like that. I think accomplishments like that help in the grieving process because you know that through your tragedy, you are possibly helping someone else go through it themselves and all of a sudden your loss has purpose. The best to you....

Chiming in with my congrats - awesome Monica. I'm almost 12 months out and I still haven't been to a 1st birthday party or baby shower. Just haven't been able to do it, and haven't wanted to. But I find myself getting sad at home on those days, and having a good cry then, just THINKING about what all my friends are doing, all the fun they're having and all the babies being gushed over.
And I'm with Angie - Empty Cradle just didn't do it for me. I want this savvy book you speak of - happy to help in any way I can. Keep firing away with those questions! - August 9, 2009 at 3:28 PM
- Tina said...
Wow!!! The book deal is awesome; I can't wait to buy it. And for the new book idea...I think that is wonderful too. I would love a true to life book that tells me I am not a crazy bitch!
As for your question: For me I do think it is beneficial to expose myself to these types of things. I hold a lot of my feelings inside, so to find a release is helpful. I also think being around other babies in various situations has been helpful because it has shown me that I will be okay, sad, but okay. I haven't been to any baby showers yet, but I have done the 1st b-day and it was okay for me.
P.S. Thanks for mentioning my blog. I was pretty excited to see my name! :) - August 9, 2009 at 4:31 PM

Pearson House of 6: "Situational and personal" - I agree completely. From the comments so far, I'm thinking this something that could be put out there as a possiblity - *try* an event with babies and see how you handle it, and when you feel you're ready - but not an outright "go to every damn baby shower in town! it'll feel grrreat!" sort of thing.
Tina: you're welcome. That tends to happen around here. Isn't it fun to feel famous? :-)
Finally, Thanks y'all, for the support and congrats. It's hard to take a "congrats" for this really, because I don't think my own DB-story is any different or more special or tell-worthy from anyone else's. We all have these amazing shit-storm stories inside us. I just happen to be a teacher, which means I have my summer off, which means I have more time to write than a lot of other people I know. I also drink hardcore coffee, as you know, which keeps my fingers-a-typin' like there's no tomorrow. - August 9, 2009 at 4:53 PM
- wifey said...
Congrats! You DO deserve them, because while your story may be oft repeated in DBL, you tell it with a humor, wit and introspection that sets you apart.
As for your question: I am still mostly in baby-event-avoidance mode, depending on the event. I probably will be for the forseeable future, because I just seem to keep getting knocked down. However, there is nothing quite like the post-baby-event cry. It's a completely justified, righteous, ugly cry (you know, the snot, the blotchy face, swollen eyes, and animal-like wail) that helps to solidify my place in this world. Yes, I've been through some shitty shit. Yes, I deserve to cry about it. And boy oh boy, it is cathartic.
Another angle: I went to a family event in April halfway across the country from my home, and met my cousin's baby for the first time. And against all odds, I held her, I kissed her and loved on her, and was able to keep myself together. That was a proud moment for me - an "I CAN function like a sem-normal person" moment. I think it was very healing, and a turning point for me that I might not have experienced had I not gone. - August 9, 2009 at 8:08 PM

Congratulations most definitely in order - not because your sufferings are phenomenal (not claiming here that I have any basis on which to quantify them of course), but because YOU are, and such a gifted writer.
I like your survival guide. I know with marriage, it made all the difference in the world to know that my even-tempered, sweet-as-can-be, omnicapable loving faithful holy Catholic girlfriends had occasionally hurled plates at their husbands' heads (under appropriate provocation). And that was just marriage! One of few comforts in having your world falling apart is knowing that you're not in free-fall - that you're walking along a charted path that will eventually lead you back to the living. So, yes, brilliant. I don't need it myself just now (but you never know what tomorrow will bring), but will be very interested in its progress. - August 9, 2009 at 9:53 PM

Hey Monica,
I have to go with everyone and say congrats-no matter how humble you're being about the whole thing!
My $0.02 on this is that yes, you should go. Basically because like you pointed out-you may need to tap into that feeling of sadness just to be done with the numbness for awhile. Yep, you'll totally dread it and might come away from it in tears. But it's going to hit you at some time anyway-at least this way you'll know when and where. Otherwise you'll be sitting on the bus next to a total stranger, turn the page in your novel, read one sentence and freak the hell out. (Yes, that was me. Just last week.) Y'dig?

SWEET! (My 4-year-old nephew informed me recently that boys say "sweet" and girls say "awesome," so maybe that should be: AWESOME!) So excited to hear about the book deal. I've been hoping we'd all have a chance to read it, and the survival guide idea sounds stellar. Hope breakfast-and-bike-riding was followed by an afternoon of uninterrupted nookie.

I am so excited and thrilled for you and the book deal. Enough with the modesty; your parents are proud, Zachary is proud, we DBMs are proud, and you should stand tall and proud too. You deserve it. You've earned it. It's not about your story being special or different it is the sameness of these losses that unites us; but you have a unique voice full of wit, wisdon, and compassion.
As for the baby shower thing, my advice is take it slow. Maybe start with an event where there will be a baby or two but is not ALL about baby. My numb stage was pretty fragile and it didn't take much to break through and make me cry so I didn't feel the need to push myself to cry more or feel more. Baby loss is a tough journey and everyone's road is different. So maybe like traffic we should obey the Basic Speed rule. If it's dark and stormy go slower than the speed limit. If it's gorgeous and sunny (and you don't think you'll get causght) go a little faster than you should and see how it feels.
You'll have to let us know as soon as we can pre-order the book.
Much love, Viktoria - August 10, 2009 at 9:36 AM

Ok, first let me say that I am buying your book! Because truth be told, if you charged for your blog...I'd pay to read it.
As for the baby shower idea...well, my fist one is on Saturday...6 1/2 months post dirth. I just saw that mom for the first time this past week. I was glad to get that out of the way and see that it didn't kill me and she didn't go running from the room screaming when I talked openly about my pregnancy with a dead baby! And no, I didn't cry on teh way home. But the pre-event anticipation is trying to kill me! - August 10, 2009 at 12:40 PM
- Michelle said...
First off...CONGRATULATIONS on the book. I am so excited and I can NOT WAIT to read it!
I say definitely it is a good thing to do. I recommend it. I actually have to someone because for me the more I bottle up the worse it becomes. Isn't that why we watch a sad movie? Sometimes you just need a good cry!
I would say to wait at least 6 months though. Anything before that is just adding to the tears already falling on a regular basis. - August 10, 2009 at 3:28 PM

Hey men come here too! But we are a rare bread I'll give you that! Men that are in touch with our feminine side perhaps?
I might even be rarer than most...
KUKD papa who is now infertile. What are the chances of that?
Anyway thanks for sharing... - August 10, 2009 at 3:56 PM

First, congrats on your book deal. While it's true that we all have our own shitstorm and all deal with it in our own ways, not everyone can write in a way that's meaningful to book audiences. It's a big accomplishment and I look forward to buying and reading it.
Second, I pretty much intend to never go to a baby shower again but I have been doing my own brand of desensitization therapy, and it seems to be working pretty well. 8 months in and I can glimpse my next door neighbor's baby without tearing up. The thought of my much younger brother's still in-utero baby has me making plans to go to the Caribean for Christmas though. "Baby" steps... - August 10, 2009 at 5:18 PM
- Bluebird said...
Congrats on the bood deal, that's awesome!!
And, I think your new idea rocks. I thought Empty Cradle was worthless :) I received it several weeks after our babies died, and it still took several more weeks before I physically felt well enough to try to read - and the first few chapters (or so, I can't remember) were just worthless to me. They were all about things I could have or should have done in the hospital. Um, thanks for telling me now! I thought about skipping ahead, but you know what? It was just too long and boring and I didn't feel like bothering. Your idea - I think I might have actually latched on to. - August 11, 2009 at 12:18 PM
- KuKd Chick said...
Blue Bird and others - good, I'm glad people are liking the KuKd survival manual book idea. This is awesome and gives me the arse-kick I need to keep working on it. Yee-haw! I love the perspectives presented here. WE ARE IT - the people who get it and have something to say on the KuKd survival front. Looking forward to more!

- Lani said...
awesome awesome news! i can't wait for your book to come out- love your humor. i forgot to reply to your hilarious comment on elmcitydad about our split. so funny.
so in answer to your question- i, like others here, will probably never go to another baby shower again. i have many reasons, the most being that i don't believe in it anymore. should have stuck to my jewish traditions in the first place when 2 were held for me. and its not b/c they are sad. i think they are ridiculous.
holding friends babies and seeing babies may be the thing to open the floodgates. but i do think that has to come in your own time. when you're ready. just thinking about friends babies makes me cry.
i find that when i really want a good cry, i start reading blogs. thats all there is to it.
today i've cried like 10 times, but that is b/c we got a neg this morning after our first month of fertility treatments. ugh, so frustrating.
i agree that we do need help in opening the floodgates. a good fight with chris does that sometimes, brings up all sorts of stuff i'm holding onto.
so you mentioned that your book will be for people who had miscarriages and stillbirths- what about us, with a neonatal death? silas died b/c of the delivery. we need to be part of this crew too.
thanks for keeping me laughing thru the tears. you rock. - August 13, 2009 at 1:16 PM
Congratulations on the book deal, such a great achievement!
Regarding your question, I have just lost my first baby after more than 4 yrs ttc. It was an ectopic so I did not really have that much time with it but it was enough to have me dreaming & imagining our future and the look on my husband's face when he first held our little one. The horrific experience is still so fresh and I really cannot see myself coping with baby showers, pregnant ladies and such. For me it is enough to think about those few weeks of my pregnancy to open the floodgates. When I walk past the little park we went to every evening after we found out I cry. When I think about how sweet and helpful my husband was when he took me to the hospital and stayed by my side and bought me a tooth brush etc. I cry. When I think how he prepped our house and got rid of all reminders of the pregnancy before I came home I cry. When I feel any twitches of my poor tube-less ovary I cry. When I see advertisements that feature children on TV I cry (btw I think those advertising people should really start thinking about us & our feelings b/c as it seems there are quite a few of us out there who sometimes feel the urge to throw something at the poor innocent TV). When I think about what presents to get for my god-children I cry. So, in summary, at the moment any real encounter with pregnancy or babies would just be too much.
Thanks a lot for asking - sometimes it really helps when someone just inspires you to think and put your feeling into words as everything becomes a bit more clear and tangible instead of having a tumultuous mess in your head. All the best for your new book idea! - August 14, 2009 at 9:26 AM
- Catherine W said...
Yay for the book. I wish I could go back in time and buy it in advance. Losing a baby is so isolating and none of the books I read seemed to make me feel less alone. Some of them even made me feel MORE alone. Maybe because, as Angie says, none of them mention smashing plates or listening to lots of sulky, angry music.
Here in the UK we don't really have baby showers. For which I breathe a sigh of relief. I can imagine that it would be very dependent on the 'personal and situational', the right time and place and frame of mind.
I held a week-old baby a few days ago. My friend's little boy. The first time I've held any other babies since one of my twins died, nearly a year ago. Although I've obviously held my surviving baby. I know my situation is perhaps a little tangled but I felt it did me good. At that time and place and mainly because he was the son of that particular friend. But probably not for everyone, all the time? Perhaps you have to pick your friends and times and places carefully? - August 16, 2009 at 1:47 PM
- Emily said...
NOOOOOO! Going to showers or seeing babies never ever once evoked tears from me. It never helped open the floodgates. All it did was make me angry. It brought up rage and hatred inside for those women and I assume it was due to jealousy of them getting to keep their babies and mine always being taken from me over and over. I would be so anxious in the weeks before, dreading having to go to these things. I'll be honest...I never walked away crying or having the good cry that is needed. I always walked away pissed off at the World.
A cry is good, but for me....other things triggered it. Going through his things, having a flashback, or just randomly reliving it at 3am and subsequently bawling my eyes out. But subjecting myself to showers and babies only brought up anger and I still to this day can't stand to be around the women whose showers I had attended when I wasn't ready that first year. - August 20, 2009 at 8:46 PM

I know, late to the party and all, but I still have opinions, dammit.
For me, opening the floodgates was vital to my survival. Of course, I'm in a huge clot of new babies right now; my son was due in the middle of the influx. His "dirth" two weeks before our wedding (the one that would have had all three of us having the same last name on his hospital records). I couldn't isolate from all the other newborns and pregnant bellies, because I didn't want to cancel my wedding--and we had some inkling that the already very intimate weekend-long house party on the beach we had planned could be healing.
Since then (about fourandahalf months) and it still hurts in that special way every time. But at the same time, I seek it out. I think of seeking out time with the new babies (also: staring at dead baby pictures, listening to my "cry now" playlist, or reading either my old blog entries or ones I know will make me cry) as an ipecac. The feeling of grief-that-can't-get-out reminds me of nausea. For me, going to baby-laden events (or the rest of the above) is like sticking my finger down my throat. It's messy and painful and heaving and awful, but afterward I'm relieved and feel much better! - December 8, 2009 at 6:57 PM

By Allison Sampite-Montecalvo, UT San Diego
CHULA VISTA — Southwestern College has moved away from a precipice and toward prosperity, said the college's superintendent/president during a recent update on the educational institution.
"I entered Southwestern at a very interesting time — probably the worst recession in our country's history resulting in the lowest funding for Southwestern," Melinda Nish told Chula Vista City Council members March 25.
Nish was hired in November 2011, a year after the resignation of Raj Chopra, who left amid the controversy that occurred when the Western Association of Schools and Colleges placed the school on academic probation.

An ex-inmate is suing New York City for $80 million, after he claims corrections officers at Rikers Island jail forced him to eat too fast which caused him to suffer a medical emergency.
The New York Daily News reported that Michael Isolda, of Staten Island, underwent gastric-bypass surgery before his incarceration at the jail, and although he claimed that his surgeon submitted a letter on his behalf describing his nutrition requirements, he said prison guards wouldn't give him more than the allotted five minutes to consume each meal.
According to the lawsuit, Isolda said the speed dining at the prison caused him to vomit after each meal, which led to his stomach becoming separated from his intestine.
The newspaper reported that Isolda had to have emergency surgery to save his life.
"For me, Rikers Island is a death sentence," Isolda said in a sworn statement. "It's not a matter of surviving and worrying about inmates. I have to worry about the food killing me."
Robin Campbell, a spokesperson for the corrections department told the Daily News that, "DOC policy and practice affords all inmates adequate time to eat each meal. All inmates have both daily routine and emergency access to medical care to make their needs known."
Isolda was serving time for possession of painkillers.

Great wrenches fit in tight spaces and I love theta you don't have to remove the wrench and turn it over to go the other way like non reversible simply love them

These are great you can change directions without lifting the wrench. The only drawback is no 11mm wrench. I was surprised how many time I need a 11mm.

I've used these several times with no issues. They work great and can really save some time.

I am always pleased with my Craftsman tools and these wrenches are no exception. I am extremely disappointed, however, that they are not made in America. I never thought I would see the day that Craftsman wrenches, socket components and screwdrivers would be made in China.

These wrenches are the best I've ever used in my life! They make any job very easy to do and are very helpful when working in tight spaces!

Took me over an hour to loosten the belt tensioning bolt with a regular box end wrench, took me just minutes with the Ratcheting Wrench to tighten it back up... The right tool for the right job.

Personally I do not care if this product is made in China or not. Overall a great little set and is highly beneficial. One of the best Christmas gifts I received. Only wish it came with a 9mm...

This is a great set of combination wrenches. I love how you can ratchet in either direction switching a lever without flipping over the wrench to go in the opposite direction.
Freedom, PA
via sears.com
Bought this set last week. I took a closer look at them today and didn't like what I saw. The opening at the open end is not as deep as the picture on website shows; more meat at ratchet end. All of this adds up to needing more room to get the wrench in tight places, and is a giveaway to the lack of inherent strength in the base metal. Then I performed my patented test for tool quality. Drop it onto a concrete floor. It sounded like I dropped a piece of plastic. Then I took one of my, USA, Craftsman combination wrenches and repeated the test. It rang like a precision tuning fork. What's wrong here??? I looked over the shaft, and there was no U.S.A. stamp. In fact there was no stamp at all for point of origin. Back to the container; flip it over, and there was the answer. "MADE IN CHINA" My god I just paid $80.00 for what ************** sells for $20.00. Oh boy, but Craftsman is guaranteed for life. Oh, so are **************'s hand tools. Now I am not cheap, and I will pay $100 for quality tools, but not for Sears to scam me with Chinese junk at the expense of American jobs. FU Sears, (Fully Unaware Sears,) They are now back in Sears hands.

The Phillies said DL will retroactive to May 19.
Lee underwent an MRI on his elbow Tuesday in Philadelphia that revealed the strain. He experienced soreness in the elbow after his last start on Sunday against the Cincinnati Reds.
Lee might be able to return as soon as he is eligible to come off the DL, general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said late Tuesday night, according to ESPN.com.
"It's never good news when you lose one of your No. 1 pitchers, but it's pretty mild," Amaro said.
Amaro didn't offer a timetable.
"We just don't know yet," he said. "It could be two weeks. It could be three weeks. It could be four weeks. Who knows. It could be 30 weeks. We think it will be shorter. It's a pretty mild strain. ... We just have to be really cautious with him."
Lee, 35, is 4-4 with a 3.18 ERA in 10 starts this season. This will be Lee's fifth career DL stint and first since April 19-May 8, 2012 (left oblique strain).
Lee pitched 6 2/3 innings in a win over Cincinnati on Sunday. He said his elbow began to bother him after he threw a career-high 128 pitches in an 11-hit, complete-game loss against the Braves on April 16.
"After the game it was pretty sore," Lee said. "We started doing some treatment on it and it acted like it was doing a little better, and this past start I started feeling it the last couple of innings just about every throw, and obviously it was pretty sore the next day.
"It was definitely concerning that it was there on every throw. With as much season as we have left, I didn't feel that I could keep pitching."
To fill his spot on the roster, the Phils recalled outfielder/first baseman Darin Ruf from Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
Ruf is batting .265 with three doubles, one home run and two RBI in nine games for Lehigh Valley. He missed the first month of the season after suffering a left oblique strain during spring training.
In 85 career games with the Phillies, the 27-year-old Ruf has batted .257 with a .348 on-base percentage, 13 doubles, 17 home runs and 40 RBIs.

Tom Hardy Gossip
Tom Hardy gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
The Suicide Squad features Harley Quinn and some other people
Ben A. Pruchnie/ Getty Images
Last we heard of David Ayer's DC villain flick, whether or not Harley Quinn, the nutjob supervillainess from the Batman comics, would be included was still up in the air, and Jared Leto was in talks to play The Joker (lesser version 2.0). Yesterday, Warner Brothers announced the Suicide Squad lineup and yes indeed, Harley Quinn is coming to the big screen, and she'll be played by Margot Robbie. Full Story
Tom Hardy at TIFF
Alberto E. Rodriguez/ Theo Wargo/ Getty
Not going to lie… Tom Hardy might have peaked at TIFF too early. It was Friday night and Saturday morning. And he was followed by Cara Delevingne and The Riot Club boys and Eddie Redmayne and Andrew Garfield and my two fried laptops and Mike Tyson just lost his sh-t in our building on a news anchor and suddenly it's Wednesday afternoon. Full Story
Tom Hardy just tends bar…and a puppy
Macca /Splash News
"When we save a dog, we save ourselves." That's a line from The Drop and you'll hear it when you watch the clip below. I mentioned a British invasion at TIFF in the open. Tom Hardy is part of that. He arrived here in Toronto yesterday in advance of tonight's premiere. Full Story
Tom Hardy: surrounded by dogs
Hewitt/ Neil Warner/ Splash
Dogs love Tom Hardy. It's why he always seems to be surrounded by dogs. His own dog, Woodstock (or Woody), is always on set with him. When he's on set, all kinds of little dogs show up for licks and pets. Look at that. They're all over him and his dog musk. I'm not complaining. Full Story
Mad Max is hotter than puppies
Sarah has written at length about Comic-Con strategy – how often false hype can be generated out of San Diego (Sucker Punch) that ultimately leads to disappointment. But Comic-Con can also be a legitimate momentum build, especially for projects that seemed worrisome, projects that may have been burdened by the weight of expectation. Full Story
TIFF 2014: Film & Gossip
TIFF announced its first slate of films for this year's festival September 4-14. It's a big ass deal, not only because I live in Toronto and I work for etalk and we cover it top to bottom but because TIFF is where people come to kick off their campaigns. Full Story
The Hardy Family
David M. Benett/ Getty
Actually, no, wait, his son isn't there. So almost the whole Hardy family. Tom Hardy and Charlotte Riley were at the Blag Clothing launch yesterday in London. Woodstock came with them. Man, I wish I could take my dogs to a party. Anyway, I saw these shots at the Daily Mail Full Story
Tom Hardy's kisses
Tom Hardy continues to shoot Legend in London. There was a kissing scene with Emily Browning in the car. But during break… There were a lot of kisses with the dog. His own dog. That looks like Woodstock. He adopted Woodstock with Jessica Chastain – because the two of them are super method like that – when they were working on Lawless. Full Story
Happy Fourth!
David M. Benett/ Getty
I didn't even know these pictures existed until Jackie emailed earlier this week, gushing. Thanks Jackie! Sorry Jackie! But you were gushing! Thought it would be a good way to send you on your weekend – Hot Harry and Tom Hardy who might not be holding a puppy but also isn't looking weirdly unattractive in costume. Full Story
Tom Hardy's wedding day
Wenn, Splash
Tom Hardy continues to work on Legend in London. It was evidently a wedding scene today, Emily Browning as the bride. She had to pop out for a cigarette during break. I'm not supposed to say this but I love seeing a smoking bride. Because the image is so offensive to some people. Like on my wedding day, in my white dress, when I popped out for a drag, my ma was apoplectic. Full Story
Tom Hardy: Frank Farmer
These are new photos of Tom Hardy on the set of Legend. He's playing the Kray twins. They were gangsters. Can we talk about The Bodyguard now? My friend-boss Nanci and I, for some reason, have been reminiscing a lot about The Bodyguard lately. The Bodyguard is one of those movies you stop and watch when it comes on television. Full Story
Tom Hardy is dangerous
Headlinephoto/ Splash
Tom Hardy's been in New York this week promoting Locke. The film is receiving really great reviews, rating at 90% currently on Rotten Tomatoes. In support of Locke, they've set up some selective press for Hardy, including an interview with ESQUIRE which I finally got around to reading today. Full Story
Where's the married glow?
Check out Tom Hardy at the premiere of Locke last night in Birmingham. He looks good. Yes. He looks good. But, I dunno, something's …missing. It's a glow. It's something. Right? When Tom Hardy is hot, like super, super hot, there's a warmth to him that radiates on his face. Full Story
Tom Hardy in his underwear
What if he was in his underwear holding a puppy? What would you do? Could you work the rest of the day? Would you still be able to read? Are you standing right now as it is? Especially when you find out it's for a good cause? Check out Tom Hardy in London at a photo shoot for Stand Up To Cancer yesterday. Full Story

I'm not looking to blind other drivers. However, I am looking to see in adverse weather so I bought the amber light in a black housing. I wired them to work independent of my headlights, the way they should be wired. In comparison to a white light, I see further in the fog. And only when I need them, I flip the rocker switch mounted on the dash for long distance vision with my headlights on dim. I get no complaints from oncoming traffic. Several people have complemented on there looks.
