text: I guess my question is more of an electrical question, sorry: I've replaced my old dishwasher with a new one. The old one was hardwired and the new one has a plug. What do I do with the old hardwire? Do I trim it, cap it, take it off the circuit entirely? As of now it's capped and shoved behind the new one but that's probably not the right thing to do. Any advice would be great! Thanks!

Lake Miami is in the middle of a complete lake restoration that will bring better fishing, improved lake access and water quality to the 137-acre lake north of Albia.
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources began the project in October 2013 when it renovated and restocked the fish population to eliminate a common carp problem and an overall fish population stuck in neutral. Then in May, it added a barrier to the lake outlet designed to prevent carp from reentering the lake.
Early results show excellent fish growth with catchable sized largemouth bass and channel catfish already available.
Mark Flammang, fisheries biologist for the DNR, said the next set of improvements will be installed this winter.
"We will improve 10,000 feet of shoreline, add two fishing jetties and fish habitat starting in January," Flammang said. "Then in the spring, four ponds and two dry basins will be built in the watershed on public land to reduce gully erosion."
Additional plans down the road include timber stand improvements to improve forest quality on public land, and working with private landowners to reduce impacts of watershed land use on lake water quality.
The lake restoration project is an investment in excess of $1 million that is designed to last for decades.
"This is an excellent project that will benefit the county park and surrounding communities through increased visitation and spending by those visitors in area businesses," Flammang said.
The project is being funded by a grant from the State's Watershed Improvement Review Board to the Monroe County Conservation Board, the Iowa DNR's Lake Restoration Program and the DNR's Fisheries Bureau.
For more information, contact Mark Flammang, Fisheries Biologist, Iowa Department of Natural Resources, 641-647-2406.

CRANSTON – The Lincoln All-Stars didn't just dominate their games among Rhode Island's best, but turned all of them into cakewalks.
Their mastery of the bat was a major reason why.
Skipper Matt Netto's offensive-minded crew once again derailed Cranston Western, this time by a 13-2 count, to claim the R.I. Little League Major Division (11-12) Tournament title at CWLL's Michael P. Varrato Field home on Friday night.
With 14 hits, including six for extra bases, Lincoln manufactured its third straight "mercy-rule" triumph of the tourney, and with it earned a berth in the U.S. New England Regional event slated to begin next weekend in Bristol, Conn.
David Bordieri and Braedon Carney paced the offense statistically, as the former finished 3-for-4 with a double, home run, three RBI and two runs scored (he gained Offensive Player of the Game honors for the feat), while Carney went 2-for-4 with a dinger, stolen base, four RBI and a pair of runs.
They had plenty of help: The guy teammates affectionately call "Trick or Treat," Steve Andrews, closed at 2-for-3 with three RBI and a run; Blake Zaniol went 3-for-3 with a two doubles, an RBI and a three runs; and Dominic Cunha 1-for-1 with a walk and a run.
When asked the key to these All-Stars' prowess with the club, hitting coach Dale O'Dell softly explained it this way: "The kids just work hard. They're very coachable, and – obviously – they've got a lot of talent. The biggest thing, I think, is we work harder than most teams. We do have a couple of secrets, and we won't reveal them, but it's just doing the fundamentals well.
"We teach them about looking for a good pitch to hit, and to be patient."
When it was over, and after he accepted his trophy for being a state champion, "substitute" (if there is such a thing on this squad) Tyler Santilli's reaction was unlike most of his teammates. After running back to his spot on the first-base line, he raised the physical achievement to the heavens, then lowered it and kissed it.
He had reason: He and his brethren had mustered 35 hits and 37 runs in their three state tourney tilts while surrendering only two runs. Both of those came in this finale against Cranston Western.
"We work on a lot of things in practice," Carney stated. "Left-handed and right-handed pitchers, looking for inside and outside pitches, curveballs, fastballs, everything. Everything we may see in a game, we've already seen in practice.
"I guess we're just a talented group of boys," he added with a grin. "I'm not surprised with our hitting. We get so many swings all year, we get more focused, I guess. We owe Coach O'Dell for a lot of it."
Lost in all of the offense was the fine mound outing of southpaw fireballer Kyle Marrapese. He tossed all four frames (due to the mercy rule) and scattered four hits and two walks while whiffing eight. The two runs he allowed were both unearned.
When Lincoln faced CW in the state opener last Saturday, they jumped out to a 2-0 cushion in the first frame en route to a 13-0 pasting. This time, they plated nine.
Leadoff Aaron DeSousa reached on an error, and Bordieri pushed him to third with a double off the fence in center off of righty starter Anthony Eacuello. On an 0-1 count, Andrews them crushed a 235-foot shot over the right-field wall to give the All-Stars a 3-0 cushion.
Marrapese then started another mini-rally with an infield hit, though was thrown out at second on Connor Benbenek's fielder's choice, but Zaniol ripped a double to send courtesy runner Santilli to third.
At that point, CW manager Gary Bucci replaced Eacuello with talented lefty Jake Procaccianti, who yielded Carney a two-run double to right-center.
Cunha and Zarek Larisa then walked to load the bags, Carney scored on a wild offering, and – with two down – Bordieri walloped a three-run "tater" well over the 220-foot sign in center to give the "visitors" a 9-0 lead.
CW assembled a threat in the back half, but – with runners in scoring position – Marrapese fanned both Matt Poulos and Kyle McCutcheon to end it.
Lincoln mustered another two in the second off of Procaccianti, and it took only three pitches. Zaniol knocked a two-bagger to center, and Carney lined a first-pitch fastball over the wall for the 11-0 cushion. Cunha and Marty Gaughan Jr. followed with hits, but the southpaw recorded three straight outs.
In the bottom half, Eacuello reached on an infield miscue, then moved to third on Matt Lombardi's impressive double to the fence. When Eacuello tried to score, however, second baseman Zaniol rifled a perfect toss to backstop Benbenek for the second out.
Marrapese escaped the possible flurry when he struck out Anthony Cardi.
As for the third, Netto's squad collected another pair when Marrapese singled, took second on a wild pitch and scored on Zaniol's RBI single. When the outfielder bobbled the ball, he raced to third, then hustled in on an ensuing throwing error to the plate.
The District I champions didn't roll over, though. Mike DiCenzo and Procaccianti both beat out infield hits, and moved up on a passed ball. The former scored on another passed ball, and the latter did the same on a third.
With two runners on, however, Marrapese again settled himself and registered two straight whiffs.
Those were the only runs Lincoln allowed in its three contests.
"This was the hardest team I've ever had to put together," Netto said later. "There were 19 or so guys capable of making it, so the selection process was difficult. The big thing is the team stayed humble and went about their jobs, and that was critical.
"Every time I thought we were going to have a close game, they'd score six, seven, eight runs in the first inning," he added. "Honestly, it's not really that hard to coach this team; anyone could do it."
Lincoln 922 0 – 13 – 14 – 2
Cranston Western 002 0 – 2 – 4 – 3
Kyle Marrapese and Connor Benbenek. Anthony Eacuello, Jake Procaccianti (1), Cooper Krusz (4) and Matt Poulos, Brian Schattle (3). 2B – Bordieri, Blake Zaniol 2, Matt Lombardi. HR – Andrews, Bordieri, Carney.

Last December, Sony released an alpha Android 4.0 ROM... now they are regaling us with more ice cream sandwich goodness. Sony has released the beta version of this ROM for select Sony Xperia devices
While this update comes with much more functionality than its predecessor, it still lacks very important features. Some of the more prominent added features include activated GSM modem, FM radio, updated UI, beefed up lock screen and a quick dialer. Being able to access GSM networks is probably the most important, consumer utilizing this ROM will now be able to make calls... precisely what phone is designed to do.
Leaving your valuable mobile devices unprotected is risky! Discover the latest innovative protection solutions... stylish top brand bags, sleeves and cases specifically designed to protect your devices from scratches and blemishes. Tough on the outside, sweet on the inside these brand name protection accessories combine complete device coverage with sleek artistic expression.
There are important features that are lacking, though, since Sony is still waiting for approval in order to activate them. Such include WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, as well as access to Google Apps including the Android market. Hopefully Google will give them the okay soon, and Android 4.0 will be in the wild before too long.
This beta version is aimed at developers, as Sony does not intend this incomplete ROM to be used as a daily driver. Regardless, it could be fun for the more adventurous Android user to check out what Ice Cream Sandwich will be like on Sony hardware. If you happen to be the proud owner of an Xperia Arc S, Xperia Ray, or Xperia Neo V, this ROM is available for your flashing needs.

Comments about Chauvet SlimPAR 56 Carry Bag:
With four lights per bag it is a tight fit, the bottom ends up rounded because of the shape of the lights.
It takes a little wiggling to get the fourth light in.
We will probably buy another bag and only use the bags for three lights each.
Best Uses
Comments about Chauvet SlimPAR 56 Carry Bag:
Loved the price and idea of this bag, but its just too small. For SlimPAR 64 lights BARELY fit. Really hard to zip, and can barely hold power cables. Zipper will probably bust after a few uses. I love the idea of a divider bag to protect the lights, this just isn't it.
Best Uses
Comments about Chauvet SlimPAR 56 Carry Bag:
I bought two of them and one fits a Chauvet Cubix 2 and the other was going to be for another light but it turned out to be too small of a bag. However, I was looking for a wireless mic case and this was perfect for the job.
It has velcro depts that can be removed so I put two wireless mics and the receivers, cables, extra batteries all inside one case. I also can put two wired mics inside as well.
The two zippered pockets are great storage for two 20 ft. XLR cables for the hard wire mics.
Only drawback is that these cases do not have a strap, its only hand carry, which is a dud in case you want to carry other stuff. However the
padding is good and the quality of the canvas is not bad either.
Remember its for small dj lights and LED pars. A Revo 4, Revo Rave, Chauvet Circus, ADJ Fun Factor and most other large lights will not fit!
Comments about Chauvet SlimPAR 56 Carry Bag:
Overall, this is exactly what I was looking for to carry and protect my set of four Chauvet SlimPAR56's. The cans fit perfectly in the main compartment and my Chauvet Obey 3 controller fits in the front pouch. Only two negatives...I wish the front pouch for the Obey 3 had a bit more padding. I have some concens about the controller getting knocked around a bit. The other negative is that once you pack 4 SlimPAR 56's in the case, there's not much room for power or DMX cables. I decided not to try to squeeze them in and instead pack them in a different case. But overall, I'm happy with it!

PAWTUCKET — With regards to his right hamstring strain, Joel Hanrahan feels that he has turned the corner and believes that a return trip to the big leagues and Boston is imminent.
There's just one piece of unresolved business: Will Hanrahan slide right back into the closer's role that was his prior to landing on the disabled list, or will he become Andrew Bailey's chief setup option?
Asked if his role has been determined after working a scoreless inning in Pawtucket's 6-5 loss to Columbus on Sunday, Hanrahan was the very essence of non-committal. Boston optioned Daniel Bard back to Double-A Portland Sunday, a move that figures to pave the way for Hanrahan to be added to the active roster.
"No idea," was Hanrahan's quick-to-the-point response about reclaiming what was his prior his hamstring flaring up.
Acquired from the Pirates last offseason, Hanrahan was less stonewalled when pressed about the job Bailey has done in his absence. Bailey is 5-for-6 in save chances and has racked up 20 strikeouts in 11 1/3 innings.
"He's done that job before and has been a two-time All-Star as well. It's not like it's new to him," Hanrahan. "Those guys have been rolling and hopefully they'll take me back in whatever role and I can join the fun again."
In his second rehab appearance for Pawtucket, Hanrahan started out wild, issuing a five-pitch walk to the first Columbus batter he faced. The struggles continued as the burly righthander fell behind the next batter 2-0 before regrouping to get a pop-up that was dropped but still resulted in a forceout.
The next two batters flew out to left field and bounced back to the mound, respectively.
Hanrahan ended up throwing 17 pitches, eight of them strikes. He threw fastballs for the most part with the radar gun topping out at 96 miles per hour.
"I was a little jumpy and excited there, but I was able to step back and get things going," said Hanrahan. "The main thing is that my leg didn't bother me and nothing held me back physically. One of my biggest concerns was turning up the intensity and seeing how it goes."
The time on the sidelines has allowed Hanrahan to tweak his delivery to the point that he's not applying as much pressure on his legs.
"I could feel something before when I lifted my leg and when I drive," he said. "I'm trying to keep from turning too much when I lift and felt that I was driving the ball pretty good to the plate. I didn't have anything hamper my legs."
PawSox manager Gary DiSarcina expressed that Sunday was a major step in the right direction for Hanrahan. The reliever's first outing with Pawtucket didn't go so hot as last Friday saw Buffalo victimize him for two runs on two hits in one inning.
"Much better this time with his fastball command," said DiSarcina. "When you're throwing 95 and commanding it, it's tough to hit."
Sunday may as well have been dubbed "Rehab Red Sox Reliever Day" at McCoy Stadium. Unlike Hanrahan, Craig Breslow (shoulder tendinitis) was unable to make it through an entire inning. The lefty was pulled with two down in the sixth inning after throwing 26 pitches, 13 for strikes.
Breslow's outing started out encouraging before things took a turn for the worse. A strikeout on an 89 mph offering and a slow roller to second base gave way to back-to-back walks and an infield single that resulted in a run for Columbus.
Sunday represented a nice change of pace for Breslow, who for the first time was pitching on consecutive days after missing just about all of spring training. He planned to head to Fenway Park after departing McCoy. All signs point to him returning for another game with the PawSox that could take place as early as Tuesday.
"I fee like we're moving in the direction of executing pitches and developing arm strength," said Breslow, who has thrown 1 2/3 innings in three rehab appearances thus far. "I feel like if I need to challenge a guy, I have the fastball to beat him. I'm not quite there yet, but I'm getting close."
Sunday's starting pitchers didn't hang around for very long, though both exited the contest for different reasons. Pawtucket's Terry Doyle had trouble locating the strike zone and as a result was pulled after 3 1/3 innings. Doyle walked six as part of his 89-pitch outing that also saw him surrender five runs on eight hits.
Doyle had permitted just four runs in 25 1/3 frames prior to Sunday's short-lived assignment.
His counterpart, former Red Sox pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka, was cruising along, retiring the first nine PawSox batters he faced. Then came the fourth inning, which saw Matsuzaka hunch over in pain behind the mound after delivering the first pitch of the frame to Pawtucket leadoff batter Justin Henry. After a visit by the Columbus trainer, a grimacing Matsuzaka headed to the dugout.
Matsuzaka did not field questions afterwards, choosing to leave the exact reason why he exited prematurely under a cloud of mystery.
Pawtucket's bright spot came in the seventh inning when the power of the long ball helped erase what was a 6-0 hole. Mark Hamilton got the ball rolling with a two-run home run that was immediately followed by solo shots from Bryce Brentz and Dan Butler. It marks the first time since May 14, 1997 that Pawtucket went deep in back-to-back-to-back at-bats.
"It's pretty cool and neat, but unfortunately we lost," said Brentz.
Columbus closer Preston Guilmet nailed down the game's final five outs en route to picking his eighth save.
EXTRA BASES: Outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. received a day off Sunday, his first since being optioned to Triple A on April 18. The PawSox also played Sunday's game minus the services of Brandon Snyder, who according to DiSarcina is dealing with a viral infection. … The series with the Clippers continues Monday with Steven Wright drawing his first starting nod for the PawSox since April 9. He will be opposed by Trevor Bauer, who according to Baseball America is viewed as the 14th-best prospect in the game.

The Condemned (Los condenados)
Ana is determined to restore her dying father's reputation, so she travels from México to the remote town of Rosales, Puerto Rico. Decades ago, the doctor settled there and opened his first free clinic for cancer research. He launched an illustrious medical career - and fell in love. Ana plans to transform the old family mansion into a world-class museum to preserve her father's legacy and also breathe new life into the forgotten Rosales. But the townspeople-now destitute and helpless-do not greet her warmly. Neither does the house.

Cost Of The Iraq War.
The Hollywood Liberal started in 2004 at the height of the Bush Administration madness in America.
We were inspired by the late great Bartcop.com. The very first thing I did when the site started was to get arrested at the 2004 Republican National Convention in New York. My arrest at the start of a march from The World Trade Center was later ruled unconstitutional by a federal judge. As of May 2014, we are still awaiting the final settlement and conclusion of the case. I posted daily on the blog up until the end of The Bush error, and the site is now run as a news aggretor. Feel free to browse the old postings, pictures, & comics (an HL favorite) It reveals the twisted history of the times. Thanks H.L.

Lakebridge: Spring by Natasha Troop
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
There is a running theme here on my website, a theme that fits within sub-genre under the title of horror. But I have an issue with the term genre. When someone asks me what genre I read, I run my mouth off with a list of things that apparently fit the bill but frankly I read from where it has taken me emotionally, psychologically, intellectually and even physically. Horror is one of these things. It is not a genre, It is a term used by the masses because we as a society find the need to label everything and fit it in its own special little niche.
As children we are afraid of the shadow of a tree branch across the quilt that grandma just tucked around us. We continue to have our heart rate increase as the clown that lives in the closet starts moving the boxes of old clothes around on his way closer and closer. The gurgling of the toilet is actually the alligator your brother told you about right before you went to sleep by yourself for the first time in the guest bedroom instead of the kids room with the babies. As we grow older our fears are laced by the world outside those bedroom walls. We are tainted with real world horrors, the terror of the falling towers, the death of our grandmother, the sniffle our child has turning out to be something so serious it requires them to be hospitalized, our imagination is lost to real world. However in the case of a well written tale of horror, the author infringes our psyches, bypassing rational thought and stroking the fears and terrors we put into the back of the closet behind the box holding that quilt that used to keep us safe.
The experience I had was layer upon layer of different emotions which the characters pulled from me, dragging me into the closet of my childhood, and under the bed and clawing me from the safety of my cabin. To say I was a bit excited to find something which aroused these feelings of terror, which made my heart race, made me exclaim an "oh my god!" as a surprise turn in the action threw me off the cliff with the brambles in the bottom, and not the one that would have landed me in the drink is an understatement. I sat up, or hunkered down under the covers, I had to really pay attention or I would end up drowning under a bridge.
Oh yes, the bridge, just what is up with the bridge? It is New England,and Vermont, the beauty of the covered bridge is sprinkled all over the area. I used to live in New England and I remember driving every weekend to some corner of a small county just to see a covered bridge, or some other in the New England flavor. I am a huge fan of Lovecraft so living where his stories were wrought from was exciting and I live to experience, and breathe through my mouth, tasting life, not just sniffing politely in the corner of a coffee shop. I have a distinct memory of my first covered bridge, it was not anything special, that bridge but I remember looking into the shadows, not seeing the light at the other side, but of the way my chest tightened at the idea of walking through the shadows in the middle of the bridge. When I read Lakebridge, it was the thought of those shadows from my wanderlust years that popped up. As I have stated before, sometimes a bridge is not just a bridge. It drew not only me, but it drew the inhabitants of Stansbury. Each stating different reasons yet truthfully they are not. Is the bridge evil? I believe it is a symbol, a physical statement of what I believe Stansbury is.
As you can see, I find myself having difficulty describing this book and what it is about. It is about a small town with each character described and built much like Chaucer's characters within the pages of "The Canterbury Tales", they embody the idealistic ideals of each member of a small town populace. The town sweetheart, our school teacher, the town quirky storekeeper, Gil who runs the gas station all tourists stop at, even the serial killer plays a very solid idealistic and necessary roll. There is hope, love, terror, birth, death and it is encapsulated and expanding, stretching from clearest of skies, the darkest stormy nights.
So go get that quilt from the box in the closet, making sure you shut the door tight behind you, Tuck yourself in and begin your own experience in the cycle of Lakebridge. Oh, that shadow? Do not worry, it's just a tree branch, I swear!
(pssst head over to Cabin Goddess for an exclusive recipe from a restaurant from the book and for a chance to win this beauty and the second one in the Lakebridge Cycle thus far!)

WCS and the New York Botanical Garden have launched a digital collection of historic postcards. With images ranging from a 1959 shot of Komodo dragons to a 1916 card of iconic buildings at the Botanical Garden, the "Bronx Park Postcard Collection" tells our shared histories.
Some 450 historical postcards are now available through a new digital collection launched by WCS and the New York Botanical Garden. Animals, plants, and people have come and gone, but our stories are preserved through mementos dating from 1903 through the 1980s.
Don Lewis, an avid collector of Bronx Zoo memorabilia, donated many of the postcards contained in the new collection. Their content encapsulates buildings, landscapes, and inhabitants of the iconic institutions located on Bronx Park lands.
Big Apple tourists and residents alike may be surprised to learn that these cultural institutions date back to the late 19th century. Inspired by an urban park trend, the City of New York set aside lush terrain for Bronx Park, now 718 acres, during the 1880s. Soon after, the city began allotting hundreds of acres to the New York Botanical Garden and the New York Zoological Society—predecessor of WCS and the Bronx Zoo.
The rest is history.
Speaking about the newly created collection, Jim Breheny, Director of the Bronx Zoo, said, "These postcards are a gateway to our past and they provide insight into our history. This is a great way for the public to learn more about the evolution of the Bronx Zoo and the Bronx Park."

The September issue of Vanity Fair is on newsstands. "So what?" you say. "What does that have to do with WhoWhatWearDaily.com and this beauty story?" Relax, dear reader, and we'll explain our non-linear logic. See, the September issue means that it's officially back-to-school time in our minds. Back-to-school means new pencils! While thankfully we don't have a class schedule, we do miss new school supplies. Naturally we've transferred that desire to beauty products, and hence, today's story. We've gathered some of the season's best new products for your reading pleasure (some limited edition items are included, so get cracking if you like anything above).
1. NARS Lip Gloss in Chantaco, $23, beauty.com
Without a doubt, NARS is one of the most fashion-forward cosmetic companies around, so naturally we always await their new products excitedly. Our favorite new shade of lip gloss is NARS Chantaco. The rhubarb color used for the F/W 07 Michon Schur show and looks like your natural lip color-only slightly darker (even better)!
2. Chanel Le Vernis Nail Color in Tulipe Noir, $19, neimanmarcus.com
Invariably, the most coveted nail polish colors come from Chanel. This season's limited edition shade-Tulipe Noir-is no exception. It's one of three shades the company launched for their Fall beauty collection and the deep, purple-ish garnet is definitely our favorite. The polish is dark, but not black, and has little flecks of gold that subtly catch the light. We found some online at Neiman Marcus, but you'd better move quickly as we've already seen rogue bottles (and their hefty prices) popping up on eBay.
3. Lipstick Queen Oxymoron in Minor Crisis, $20, barneys.com
New from Australian Poppy King's cult-label Lipstick Queen is the funny-named, fantastic-idea product Oxymoron. Available in four shades, exclusively at Barneys, Oxymoron is ideal for anyone who likes multi-tasking products and/or isn't a fan of the texture of matte lipsticks. The lip and cheek color has the light, satiny feeling of a gloss but looks matte on the mouth. We think the rosy Minor Crisis, seen above, is going to have a makeup mavens following as soon as the word gets out.
4. Lancome Destiny Cube, $50, nordstrom.com
We sort of have a girl crush on Gucci Westman, Lancome's International Artistic Director. She's got an adorable husband (designer David Neville of Rag & Bone), still gets her hands dirty doing makeup for New York Fashion Week, and always comes up with great new colors for Lancome. This Fall 2007 collection is a stunner overall, but for the sake of brevity, we're just going to discuss the Destiny Cube. It reminds us a little of Sweet Secrets (those Transformers-for-girls toys), though Westman actually based the design on an 18th century Chinese secret box. Two different cubes are available, Charisma and Deep Fascination, each containing two shades of shadow and two shades of lipstick. Thakoon fans take note: Westman used the shadows from the Deep Facination cube at his Fall 2007 show!
5. shu uemura False Eyelashes in Mini Purple, $18, nordstrom.com
We'll be the first to admit that these fake eyelashes are freaking redonkulous and seem to be channeling The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert (love that movie). However, they're just too gorgeous to leave off this story even if they're not-admittedly-going to be a part of your day look. Anyway, for those of you who like a little lash flair, check out the rest of the outrageous Tokyo Lash Bar on shu uemura's homepage. shuuemura-usa.com
Jemma Kidd Essential Makeup Box, $30, bergdorfgoodman.com
We ran out of space because "someone" at WhoWhatWearDaily.com insisted on running the crazy lashes picture, but for those of you still reading (hi!), we've got a little secret to share. As you probably know, there are lots of makeup cases out there but most of them are either a) ugly or b) boring. Enter Jemma Kidd! The model-turned-makeup-artist has her own line of cosmetics, tools, and products. The Makeup Box is a cute, pink, faux-leather case that's slim enough to fit into most bags. It's also a long, narrow, hard case so you can toss your makeup brushes in as well without fear of the bristles getting squashed. Now, aren't you glad you kept reading? No answer is necessary.

The radical environmental groups sensing they have nearly played out the Mexican spotted owl ploy, started looking for another tool to aid and abet their harassing tactics under the gist they are saving our environment. But for whom are they saving it?
Well, not for me. They now have found what they were looking for, the Uinta Mountain Snail. In the very near future they will find the Dixie Snail, Manti Snail, Cache Snail and snails on all our forest lands. This specie will be used to stop timbering, mining, oil exploration, hunting and fishing. (You might step on one).
To prove a point, let us not forget their antics and the end results with the Kanab Snail. Your silence is what the enviro's are hoping will prevail .

The Dog Days Are Almost Over
I wrote a blog a few months ago about how a friend told me back in March that until I learned to live within the space of my new life with the same strength and determination with which I lost weight, I would be forever grasping for and holding on to bogus and temporary securities. He said I had to let the loneliness maul me, to feel it to my core and to not run away. In time, he said, it wouldn't hurt as much and I would be stronger.
I took that challenge and allowed the loneliness to wash over me. I was in the middle of the mauling when my brother Marty had his seizure at the end of June. When he was released from the hospital a few weeks later, I went to Minneapolis to help in whatever way I could. I cried when I was dropped off at the Pittsburgh airport July 18. I cried for my brother and I cried for me. I wanted to go, but I didn't want to go. I was afraid. I had no idea what to expect or if I was up to what waited for me there.
I worked on shedding that fear on the plane while drinking a first-class glass of wine (Literally, it was the wine they serve first-class passengers, since they'd run out of the cheap stuff they serve coach. And for my "inconvenience," they gave it to me for free. *smile*) So while sipping said wine, I thought about my strengths: A) I am a mother; B) I used to be the secretary for the senior vice-president of a large general contractor (think airports and sports stadiums, many you've probably been to); and C) I'm a practicing Buddhist (I always forget that one). I possess super-human organizational skills and a little more patience than I once had, so whatever was waiting for me in Minneapolis was up against a somewhat powerful force. At least, that's what I told myself. It and the wine helped.
Long story short, I hit the ground running. The mauling continued, but it loaned me (or "borrowed" me, if you're from Minnesota) some strength and determination. For facing my fear, I was rewarded with a closer relationship with my brothers. Although I'd prefer the three of us hadn't gained this closeness because of a brain injury, I'm glad for the trust it has created between us and the trust that I developed in myself. I continue to advocate on behalf of my brother and to keep his schedule from 1,000 miles away, and will go back to Minneapolis in a week. Only this time I won't cry at the airport.
Some of you might remember that last year I was going to go back to school to become a dietary technician. The divorce, the move and the mauling made that impossible. So, too, did a worsening of the osteoarthritis in my knees, wrists and shoulders. I'm sure you've noticed that I don't blog as much as I used to. The main reason is because 1) sitting for and 2) typing longer than an hour is difficult. Dietary tech classes are mostly online and require several hours a day of writing and computer reading, so I gave up on going to school and, while I was at it, blogging, too.
But feeling sorry for myself is not a favorite pastime and it was making my family nuts. It was hard to accept that I needed help, but it was harder to stay locked in self-sympathy. Hmmm…where had I felt that before? Ah, yes, back in 2004, when I understood that losing weight would be a long and life-changing process, but that it would be even harder to stay 300 pounds. I'd shed my skin then, I could shed it again now.
So in May, I called the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation and began working with a woman named Sara, who helped me think through what I wanted to be when I grew up. After evaluating my physical "issues," she hooked me up with the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center's Institute for Rehabilitation and Research and its Center for Assistive Technology. Last week I met John, a rehabilitation engineer, who took on my "issues" as a challenge to find the most adaptive computer equipment possible. Among other things, he recommended I use this:
My friend assured me the mauling would eventually become a scratch and then a gentle touch and in time I'd come out on the other side stronger. In this shedding of my nymph shell, I find myself somewhere between a scratch and a gentle touch, definitely stronger and definitely happier. Sort of like the happiness Florence and the Machine sing about.
Happiness hit her like a train on a track
Coming towards her, stuck still no turning back
She hid around corners and she hid under beds
She killed it with kisses and from it she fled
With every bubble she sank with her drink
And washed it away down the kitchen sink
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are coming
So you better run

Dragon is like a microwave. You install it, you start it, you read a text (read a long one!) and basically train the program to your way of pronouncing words and that's it. You talk away and dragon types it all out, in blogs, email, Word, any program.ReplyDelete
Make sure to always use the same headset.
I used it when I broke my shoulder and typing with one hand would drive me crazy.
Are you my twin? I was just looking yesterday at purchasing Dragon! My job is typing all day and I am feeling the effects of that, so I was looking into getting it.ReplyDelete
Such an honest, heartfelt post, Lynn. I have also nearly stopped blogging, in part because of my arm injury in May. I have also not been writing for the same reason. I'm healing, but have a long way to go. This Dragon program is very interesting to me. I'm going to look into it.ReplyDelete
Lynn! So good to hear from you. The longer you go without blogging, the more frequently I check on your blog! Today I was thinking about sending you an email to just say Hey! and to see if you were okay.ReplyDelete
Wow. I could relate to what you said. I just don't like asking for help. thus, the state of my house... but that's another story.
And wow again. I didn't think of it when I was reading your blog, but reading the comments made me realize that this might be something I want to check out for when I have my carpal tunnel surgery!
Oh Lynn, I haven't posted in years but started reading your blog again about a week ago. (I was the one who put you onto Kath Eats Real Food a long while back.) You are a ROCKSTAR sister! This is one of the most beautiful and well-written pieces I have ever read. I am in awe of your ability to articulate the extraordinary metamorphosis you have been going through... body, mind, heart, spirit and soul.ReplyDelete
I read your post Saturday night and smiled wide because I love the "Dog Days are Over" song. Continued to think about your post later when I turned on the tv for a few minutes, and WHO was on but Florence, on SNL, just starting to sing Dog Days... She sang so powerfully. Is there any chance you saw it or can check it out online? The song built and built... And I wanted to jump out of bed and dance or do some type of sun salutation right there!
I bet that song is her testimony.
Thank you for sharing, and LIVING yours.
I despise cicadas (they are loud, garish things) but I loved this post. You are such a brave, intelligent, giving, strong person.ReplyDelete
I hope the voice recog. equipment works for you. It has to be very difficult for you not to write as long as you want to. You are so gifted at writing. Hopefully this will help.
I've almost stopped blogging on about a million and one occasions - a few times I've actually planned on selling my blogs all together - thankfully I was smart enough to stick it out, and now I'm so happy I did. I couldn't imagine life without my blogsReplyDelete

Remembering Mandy
Many regretful things can happen in a person's life. If I cared to, I know I could rack up a list of no less than 100 days in my life I would love to re-live, and that's just contemplating the matter off-hand, without any serious consideration gone into it. These are days to be re-lived of the normal order, riddled with juvenile antics and foolish mistakes, to divorces and life-altering heartbreaks, but the event I am about to describe was much worse. It wasn't something of a petty nature, like being embarrassed from getting a "wedgy" in school in front of your friends. It wasn't being beaten up by a bully in front of a girl you thought was cute in the 7th grade, and it wasn't getting dumped by your sweetheart as a freshman in college just when you thought you'd found the love of your life. It wasn't even akin to going through the emotional pain of losing faith in God, a bad enough pain in it's own right, just ask anyone who's gone through it. This was something different. On that day, I took a life. I put my dog, Mandy, to her grave.
So what's the big deal, Joe? Sick beloved pets get put down all the time. It's a painful part of life, but one that we all get over, right? Here's where things went woefully wrong. Being busy in the sales business those years, I was set on getting this out of the way before I had to be at work the next day. Foolish me. I thought it would be so easy, so over and done with! The Humane Society in our area wasn't open anyway, so I would just finish her myself with a pistol. There was no way I could prepare myself for what was to happen, not in a thousand years.
So out I go in the early morning hours of the brand new year. I arrive at a cousin's ranch with Mandy in the back of the truck. I won't go into the graphic details. That would be unnecessary. Let me just say, the bullets did not exactly do what they were supposed to do in bringing about a quick death. Everything that could have gone wrong that night did. Mandy suffered so as to make anyone watching pass out in disgust. I am surprised I didn't. I can still hear her groans, and see her twitching in anguish, while profusely panting. The agony and unparalleled shock that filled her eyes was probably the worst part of it all. I distinctly remember trying to comfort her, and at the same time, trying to hurry and get it over with. Her eyes glanced up at mine with a question from her I only wished I could have answered, "Why, master, why?"
Finally, her last spasm came and went, and she died. I can remember staring non-responsively at her now motionless body before digging her grave.
The goriest horror movie had nothing on this occasion. I was literally covered in blood as was my truck. I remember the horrible sight of torn flesh and the smell, that awful, unmistakable smell of blood spilt. It stayed in my nostrils for two months it seemed. Sometimes I think I still catch a whiff of it. If only I could be so lucky as to forget that event, but I know I never will.
This broke me psychologically. I was shocked beyond words while it was happening. It was as though my mind was outside of myself, watching things happen. I couldn't believe it was going on. I drove back home in a state of delirium from what had transpired, hating myself for thoughtlessly and carelessly causing this because I was too damn busy to do things the assuredly humane way. I now had an intimate acquaintance with death like never before. I slept for two straight days upon arriving back at the house. I couldn't eat for about a week. Nightmares and tears were a regular part of my life for the next few weeks.
As life went on, this came back to haunt me from time to time. On several occasions, when I found myself back at my cousin's ranch, I was taken suddenly in tears, this on more than one occasion. I wandered over to Mandy's grave and found myself talking in the air to her, as though I believed she was still around me and listening as I told her I'm sorry and wished she could have understood. There were those initial moments of absolute desperation, when, holding out my hand, I found myself hoping that maybe, just maybe, Mandy would come through the veil of the netherworld and touch my hand with her spirit paw. Of course, that never happened. I knew better than that anyway, but grief messes with your head.
That event changed me forever. But I don't need sympathy, nor encouragement. I am a stoic person, a realist. I deal with what life sends my way. Indeed, I have no other alternative. I've counseled many in grief and know to apply to myself what I preached to others, that no matter how bad one may feel, life will still go on. My life has gone on like I knew it would. Each new day comes and goes all the same. Sometimes I think back on the sadness of that night, and the whole memory of the experience engulfs me like a stormy cloud of doom for a time until I can shake it from me. At other times, and for the most part, I put it behind me and go on with my life, chalking it up to just another unfortunate thing of the past.
I came to terms with the fact that I was the cause of Mandy's suffering. I also came to terms with the fact that I will never see Mandy again. I have only her memories left, and no matter how bad I would love to believe that I will someday see my loved ones again, I have no reason to assume I will. Just because I want, like anything, to believe something, just because a certain ideal would bring me fabulous inner-warmth and great comfort, and just because the alternative is grim and disheartening, does not give me just cause to subscribe to irrationality, such as the idea of "life after death." The grave is the end for us all, yet instead of getting depressed about it, I have made the decision to not only expect it, but even appreciate it.
I'll admit that I am setting myself up as a positive example here of allowing reason to hold sway over reckless emotion and sentimentality, but this is not the goal of my article. The point of my article is to make clear to the readers and commentators of this blog that atheists, like anyone else, have emotions and face great pain. We are not "soulless" in the figurative sense of the word, nor are we "emotionless", or "hard-hearted", as some have quippingly suggested. We are just people, fundamentally not unlike the most exuberant theist. We all face daily the hardships of life and try to get through them. This article may not have directly to do with debunking Christianity, but it should serve to remind critical readers that when you argue with us, you are not dealing with soarely and exclusively left-brained, First Officer Spocks, who lack the capacity to feel. We are every bit as human as you and your church crowd, only with a different set of beliefs and different value systems.

Which is awesome, obviously.
