Get Help from Others
Read Up
When people are diagnosed with a life-altering illness, such as diabetes or cancer, or depression, it can be overwhelming. They need information and support, especially from someone who has been there. Ask your providers if they know of a support group for people with your condition. Check with the hospitals in town as well as health associations, such as the American Cancer Society.
Another great resource, regardless of where you live, is an online social networking site centered around health issues. You can access these websites from anywhere, whenever you have a question or could use some support.
What is an online social network?
Online social networks are websites that provide a forum for people to share their experiences with others. Many social networks provide message boards, chat forums, and other communication tools for their members to connect. In social networks organized around health issues, members discuss their experiences, such as side effects and symptoms and offer one another advice and support
How can an online social network help you?
Online social networks aim to connect individuals, regardless of location. One e-patient remarked, "I live in a small town, and it is helpful to be able to use the internet to find others that have the same anxiety disorder I do." Social networks give individuals with health questions access to a much broader spectrum of people, which provides many benefits, as shown below.
Provide a place to get (and offer) support
Karen Parles was only 38 when she was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer. She turned to the internet for support and found the Association of Cancer Online Resources (ACOR). "The patients on the list answered my questions, suggested useful sites, and gave me a lot of valuable support," Karen says. "I can't overemphasize the importance of their help in those early weeks and months. It gave me instant access to the wisdom and experience of hundreds of other lung cancer patients."
PatientsLikeMe is a website that connects patients of various life-changing conditions in the hopes of answering this question: "Given my status, what is the best outcome I can hope to achieve, and how do I get there?" Members can create a health profile that helps them find other patients with the same diagnosis. The site offers members the ability to discuss treatments, compare progress with other patients, and develop relationships with people who understand the experience of having a life-changing condition.
A study done in 2010 found that the site helps its participants. Nearly half of these participants found another patient to whom they could connect about treatment, 41% of HIV patients reported decreasing risky behaviors, and 22% of mood disorder patients reported needing less inpatient care as a result of using the site.
Provide a forum to share hospital and healthcare provider information
After Gilles Frydman's wife was diagnosed with breast cancer, he headed straight for the computer: "As soon as I got home, I went online, found a mailing list for breast cancer, and jumped right into the conversation: 'This is what our doctor recommends. Is this reasonable?' The answers to my questions came flooding back. After four hours, I knew that this was a complex type of cancer, for which an expert reading of the pathology was particularly important. Group members mentioned the two top pathology experts in the country. One of those experts just happened to be in New York where we reside."
Provide moral support for goal achievement/adherence
We all share the human tendency to act against what we know is best for us. (Aristotle even had a term for it—akrasia.) This is especially common when it comes to managing our own health--we know we should exercise, but we skip the gym; we know smoking is bad for us, but we light one up anyway. One of the only ways we can change this behavior is to make ourselves accountable to other people.We will be more likely to go for a run if we have a friend to go with us, and we're less likely to smoke if our partner is trying to quit, too.
Online social networks can create the community we need to adhere to our goals. For example, runners use the Nike+ site to offer one another encouragement and support in their training. Other people use Twitter or Facebook to post weight loss or other health-related progress notes. The positive feedback from other people online and the accountability that comes from making our commitments known to others can help keep us on track.
What kinds of things should I watch out for?
Make sure it's clear who runs the site. Is it a patient? A doctor? A nonprofit organization? Read their privacy policy to ensure that your health information will stay private.
Don't give out personal information on the internet. You might start a free email account that you use only for communication with members of your network.
Always double-check advice given to you online. Check any health advice with a healthcare provider.
Be especially careful if you are joining a social network around mental health issues, such as depression or eating disorders. Make sure the people participating on the site are interested in healing and not perpetrating the illness.
Be careful not to join too many networks at once. The stress of so many new relationships at once can counteract the benefits of finding a new community.

How can an online community help you?
Here is an example of how you could use online communities to get emotional support and additional information and resources.
The diagnosis
Bonnie was floored when her doctor told her that she had lung cancer. She'd never smoked in her life, and until a nagging cold developed and wouldn't seem to go away, Bonnie had felt perfectly healthy her whole life.
Though her friends were supportive, "I found myself wanting to talk to people in my situation," she said. "I wanted to hear their stories and share mine."
Getting information
Through a search engine Bonnie found Lung Cancer Online, a website dedicated to improving the quality of life for people with lung cancer by providing a directory of resources, research, and support communities.
The first part of the website she clicked on was "Treatment Options." After her doctor recommended chemotherapy, Bonnie realized she had a number of questions. The website offered an extensive list of conventional and experimental treatments, which linked to case studies and abstracts about each option. Bonnie felt overwhelmed: "What I was really looking for was an answer to the question, 'How am I going to feel?'"
Finding an online community
Through a link on Lung Cancer Online, Bonnie found an online support community for lung cancer patients at ACOR. She created a username and password and logged on.
"Right away I felt more comfortable," Bonnie said. "The other members welcomed me as if they'd known me for years. When I asked who was going through chemotherapy right now, several people sent me detailed messages about which drugs they were using and how they were handling it. I felt much more prepared to undergo treatment myself."
The chemotherapy treatments left Bonnie feeling nauseous and dry-mouthed. A friend on the online community recommended eating fresh pineapple to keep her mouth moist. Another swore by acupuncture to help beat the nausea. These conversations not only gave Bonnie practical advice in dealing with the side effects of her treatment, they also reminded her that she wasn't alone in her illness.
Giving back
Now Bonnie is in remission, but she stays in touch with the online community. When new members join and ask questions, she sends them her story. "I know what it feels like that first day, when you find out your diagnosis and you don't know who to turn to. Because of these online communities, there's no need to feel isolated in your condition anymore. There's always someone who's willing to listen."
Now you try it
Find an online community
To begin, click on the Learn More tab at the top of this page and check if there is a community listed for your diagnosis.
If there isn't, do a search in Google (http://www.google.com). Type in your diagnosis and the words "online community." You should get a list.
Check it out:
- Who runs the site? Is it clearly stated? Reread the criteria in Get the E-Facts to assess if the site is trustworthy.
- Read the privacy policy to ensure that your health information will stay private.
- Check that the participants on the site are interested in healing and not in perpetuating the disease, especially if you are dealing with mental health issues.
If you decide to participate, keep these cautions in mind:
- Don't give out personal information on the internet.
- Check any health advice with a healthcare provider.
- If you feel uncomfortable at any point, honor your impression and leave.

DOE announced on September 15 its selection of seven projects to research, develop, and demonstrate cutting-edge geothermal energy technologies involving low-temperature fluids, geothermal fluids recovered from oil and gas wells, and highly pressurized geothermal fluids. Today's geothermal power plants draw on underground reservoirs of water or steam that are heated by "hot spots" in the Earth's crust. While traditional geothermal power plants require reservoirs at temperatures greater than 360°F, hot enough to easily generate steam, the latest generation of power plants is using binary-cycle technology to draw on lower-temperature resources. This technology uses a "working fluid" that vaporizes at a lower temperature than water. By passing the geothermal fluid through a heat exchanger, the working fluid is vaporized, and its vapor is used to drive a turbine, which spins a generator to produce power. The vapor is then condensed and reused in a closed cycle. Because the geothermal fluid is kept apart from the working fluid, the two fluids form two separate cycles, hence the name "binary-cycle" technology.
Three of the selected projects will develop new advances to binary-cycle technology, including a scale-resistant heat exchanger that could increase power production by 40%, as well as systems that use carbon dioxide and ammonia-water mixtures as working fluids. A fourth project will aim to extract more energy from the geothermal fluid by developing a generator that can run on the waste heat from an existing geothermal power plant. The geothermal fluid will then be used as the heat source for a heating system, a greenhouse, and a fish farm. This "cascading" use of the geothermal resource is meant to improve the economics of tapping nearly 1,500 potential low- to moderate-temperature well sites in towns and medium-sized cities throughout the West.
The three remaining projects seek to tap unconventional sources of geothermal energy. In one case, ElectraTherm, Inc. will aim to draw power from the hot geothermal fluids that oil and gas wells often generate as a byproduct. The company plans to develop a low-cost, modular, mobile power plant that can be moved from well site to well site, reducing the need to generate on-site power from diesel generators. The other two projects will aim to draw power from geothermal fluids that exist at high pressures under certain geological conditions, particularly along the Gulf Coast. Such "geopressured" fluids often contain high concentrations of dissolved natural gas. To demonstrate viable energy production from such geopressured resources, Louisiana Geothermal will produce power from a resource in Cameron Parish, Louisiana, while NRG Energy Inc. will aim to demonstrate the cost-effective recovery of heat, kinetic energy, and natural gas from geopressured resources.

Dyson Hot heats the whole room faster than any other." This video spot for the Dyson Hot space heater sounds good. And the Dyson Hot sure looks good. "What's not so hot about the Dyson is its price. At 400 dollars, it's one of the most expensive space heaters we've ever tested." So how did the Dyson Hot do in Consumer Reports labs? It passed this important safety test. A terry cloth is placed on the heater to see if it scorches or catches fire. Bernie Deitrick, "The surface of the Dyson doesn't get so hot that you can't touch it. So that's not a safety risk."
And it's got another important safety feature. It shuts off if it's tipped over. But the remote presents a safety risk to young children. It has a small button-cell battery that's easily accessible and hazardous if swallowed. Bernie Deitrick, "If you have young children, you should make sure that the remote is kept out of their reach." You can operate the space heater without the remote. This test assesses how evenly space heaters distribute heat. Sensors measure the temperature in different parts of the room. The Dyson Hot did an excellent job. But it didn't score well for noise. Bernie Deitrick, "At its highest fan setting, the Dyson is one of the loudest space heaters we've ever tested. "
Instead, Consumer Reports says a better choice is this Vornado space heater. It's the TouchStone 500 Vortex Heat for 120 dollars. Even on high, it's not very noisy. ."

I sat down to work on my thesis introduction at 1:00pm. Two and a half hours later, I have reviewed the feedback from my last thesis meeting, typed a table of contents, and listed some points I want to make in the intro. My other two hours were spent updating my profile on airbnb.com, coordinating a trip to Chipotle, and finishing an episode of American Dad.
Why can't I work on this?! Never before has a project felt so daunting that I cannot start. It's not even a matter of not knowing how or where to begin, but the fear that when I resume, I'll realize how much work I have left to do.
A professor was telling our class that Ph.D candidates experience something similar – they do not finish because they either feel their work will never be done or…I forget the second reason. When the option is officially available, the standing is 'Ph.D (ABD)' – All But Dissertation. Does Haverford have B.A. (ABT) – All But Thesis?
Have you ever felt paralyzed by a project? What strategies do you have for beginning (and persisting)?
*When the introduction revision is due tomorrow, I'll be back with a more triumphant post, and some strategies, if any, that I use to get me there.

I'm wondering how many times a day your LOs eat solids. I tend to offer food about three times a day (an hour after I BF) and she always seems really excited to eat, but doesn't eat a whole lot (maybe a tablespoon at a time). I'm not worried that she's not eating enough since she started eating at 6MO. I guess I'm just wondering if it's okay to offer food frequently. I'm always watching her cues and stop feeding when she loses interest.
BTW we aren't doing BLS pretty much b/c I worry about choking and I've actually enjoyed doing the purees and making her food, but I'm really trying to do the best I can of letting her lead the way. I let her grab the spoon a lot to feed herself and I never try to force it. I'll feed her as long as she looks at the spoon and opens her mouth and stop when she seems interested in everything else and doesn't look at the spoon anymore. Sorry if this seems more like a rambling than a question...I just feel like since she's started solids I'm questioning myself a lot. I'll worry that she's not eating enough solids and never will and then after I feed her I worry that I'm feeding her too much and she's not getting enough of my milk
I put my actual question in bold

Oh let's throw Hillariapus into the mixReplyCancel
I don't think this is Lupita, she's a talented and serious actress, the sort of person who makes sex tapes are the talentless ones like Paris or Kim. Not someone straight off the back of a major film success like 12 years and the role she played in it.ReplyCancel

I'll explain my silly *girl logic/gut feeling*, if I may; Lupita seems intelligent so she knows in HW you need to do things to stay relevant. Her people overexposed her, somewhat, during the press for the movie she was in. Middle America didn't see that movie, as a matter of fact, no one I know say that movie. It was all hype, a part of the machine…but she got a taste of the spotlight…the *energy* of being idolized is very seductive…
She's smart and she knows she will need to do something to keep her name in our minds…
Courtney & the like have no clue what they're doing and end up just being pawns in someone else's get rich/pussy/dick/power scheme…
#girl logicReplyCancel
I would LOVE for this to be Amal A. That means she's George's usual type after all. And here we thought he'd let go of the cocktail waitress types.ReplyCancel
I'm sure this is supposed to be that skanky-a$$ V.Stiviano, fits all the clues. Lupita is an Academy Award-winning actress with a Masters Degree from the Yale School of Drama who was just named People's 2014 Most Beautiful. Yes, we all know that last title is worthless, but I think we can eliminate any intentional sex tapes from her this year. Plus, I don't know how sexy a porn from her can be with her brother sticking his head in the frame every chance he gets.
On the D-Day note, today is my daughter's 10th birthday. Since she has been old enough to understand, she has known the history of her birth date and she shares it with her classmates every year. She is very interested in history, particularly World War II, and as she grows she understands the great sacrifice our military has made for us over the years. So, not all is lost with the next generation!ReplyCancel
Happy birthday, wee Tyger Lily, welcome to double digits!ReplyCancel
Yah; the BI description, Master Plan, & logical thinking abilities all seem to indicate Ms AKA V. Stiviano. –Who, btw, claims her Statement Accessory visor helmet "protects" her from unwanted attention & verbal abuse… It may also be able to tune in to Sirius radio broadcasts free of charge.
Nyongo? Planning a sex tape??? Of course, Yale Conservatory's had to move w/the times. Just because they didn't do sex tape projects back when Streep was working on her MFA… well, I'm sure the faculty tries to stay relevant.ReplyCancel

Feliz Dia de los Reyes! The Three Kings brought me a present!
Today January 6th, is the day of the Three Kings or the Three Wise Men.
The three kings were late to bring presents to baby Jesus. They finally arrived on January 6th. It is a day well celebrated in Latin America. Instead of believing that Santa Claus brings you presents, kids believe the three Kings bring them.
I got a present in the mail today from the three Kings!
Ok, so it was not the Three Kings that brought me a bottle of Tommy Lasorda wine. It was my friend Sandi who was here in the LA area visiting last week! Thank you Sandi! You shouldn't have but I love it!!
After I picked up Sandi last week and we had lunch at Portos Bakery, guess where we went?
Here we are at Santa Barbara with Julie who is another Cardinal fan.
Coming back from Santa Barbara, we stopped at Jeff Suppan's restaurant "Soup's Grill". jeff was the nicest person. He even gave us one of his baseball cards that he made specifically for the Grand Opening of his restaurant. Thanks Jeff! You rock! I hope you do sign with a team soon!
Sandi took a ton of pictures from the Rose Parade, the two wine tasting places, Soup's Grill, the Equestrian Festival, the Griffith Observatory.
Thank you Julie for driving us to Santa Barbara. It was fun hanging with you two in Santa Barbara and Woodland Hills (Jeff's restaurant & Trader's Joes (Sandi had never been) Wine was good, company great and I loved Polo's suggestion of going to the Santa Barbara Shell Fish Co. Is a small world that Polo suggested also to go to Surf Dog for a Dodger Dog. I know about Surf Dog because of Jane Heller.
Thank you Sandi! I loved having you here in LA and I got to go to places that I had not been to even if I am a local here.
Is great to hang with Baseball friends! The Rose Parade theme was just perfect: "Building values, friendships and memories.
visit Jeff's Suppan restaurant at http://www.soupsgrill.com/ He has a ton of baseball memorabillia.
14 Comments
So glad you had fun in Santa Barbara. I sure wish you'd been able to stop at Surf Dog's exit on the freeway and had a Dodger dog (and said hello from me). How cool to get a bottle of LASORDA wine! I had no idea Tommy was in the vineyard business.
See the things you learn from my blog🙂 lol. Next time I'll go visit Surf Dog and I will say hello from you and my friend Polo. I am going to suggest to Polo to interview him. He works for Time Warner Cable and covers the Dodgers.
Wow do I see the bottle of famous Lasorda wine often referred to in Mr. Lasorda's Twitter? It's the best gift for a Dodgers fan! And what a beautiful sky you have in Santa Barbara! It's too cold here in Japan…
Emma: Even though I've lived in NY my whole life, there are still places within the state I haven't seen yet. Looks like you had fun. Happy New Year!
I hope you enjoyed the glories of the holiday season. Congrats on making the top 100!one stop ahead of me!
That sounds like a great trip. Isn't it funny how many places you never go in your own home state until friends from out of state come to visit? I grew up in Burbank and hardly ever went to Hollywood until I went "all the way" to Los Angeles (well, Eagle Rock) for college and friends from back east wanted to see the Walk of Fame and do the tourist thing. I didn't know Tommy Lasorda had a wine label. Too cool!
– Kristen
Hey Emma!
Sounds like you had a great time! I've been to Soup's Grill; I like the place. Don't you love the baseball mitt table??? It's great! I don't know if you remember, but Jeff Suppan and I "kinda, sorta" have some things in common. Jeff grew up on the same block of the same street that I did; he's just a lot younger than me. But his family is very good friends with our old right-across-the-street neighbors. But with the age difference and I'm the youngest of my family, we never knew the Suppan's growing up. But some day I'll go to Soup's Grill and meet Jeff in person; I'd like that a lot! Well, take it easy.
Nao! Happy New Year!
Sandi was lucky it was nice while she was in the LA area and Santa Barbara. Lasorda's wine bottle was a great surprise.
Happy New year to you too! I am ashame to admit that I have never been to some places in the LA area like the Paul Getty Museum.
I saw you were right after me! Congrats!
Sandi made me aware of more places that I have not been to.
Everytime Tommy was at locations signing his wine when it first came on the market, I could not attend or find out too late but I'll get him to sign this bottle one of this days.
Carol, I love the table and the chair made like a glove, the seats outside, the whole wall of baseballs behind the bar. The whole place is great. Small world that he lived on your street. The two times I've been there he was there. He was the nicest both times although he was eating the last time. He had gotten up to walk his baby girl and like I said, he was the nicest guy. Next time you go, tell your waitress or waiter your story and they might let you know if he is there or shows up. Good luck!
Ah ha! I see you DO keep great company! (Cardinals fans = Great company)
Nice post! It's great when they go out of their way for the fans.
—Mark Gauthier
I sure do keep great company Jeff. I love my Cardinal fan friends!
Thanks Mark! I was surprised when he offered us the baseball cards he made for the restaurant Grand Opening. I think we were speechless that he said "If you don't want them…" But of course we wanted the cards! It was an honor that he offered!
Glad you had a fantastic adventure with a fellow she-fan who hails in Pujols-land. Cardinal Girl wrote a great blog, and both of your accounts of the day are amazing and that was before the treat at dinner.
Meeting Jeff Suppan and getting that picture must have been the highlight of the night, but I bet the tales, laughs and hijinks of your LA journey is going to be remembered for a long, long time!
BTW, The Three Kings have good taste in wine…….They must be from the Napa Valley side of the family.

Thanks Cliff.
I read Cardinal girl. She is a great writer. I also follow her food blog. She has been doing recipes with Jello.
Getting to talk to Jeff was the highlight of being there. Again, he was the nicest guy and he seemed like he remembers Cardinal Girl and I from our trip last time (like three years ago?)
I want to taste Lasorda's wine but I think I want Tommy to sign it as is.

So I'm starting a new job next week, I haven't worked in 3 years! Anyhow, baby's still breastfeeding, I'm going to have to pump at work. Any advise would be great.
Also I've been trying to pump to build up a stash in the freezer, but I just can't seem to get very much out. She's still nursing every 2 or three hours. Do I need to start pumping in between feedings to increase my supply?


text:
I just made 1 year on the 20th...unbelievable...I remember the first few weeks thinking I would never be successful...amazing...now my question is...how long did all of you feed on demand? I have every intention of nursing my son until 2 and even after if I am so lucky...but just wondering how long those who practice extended breastfeeding did feed on demand...also...if I should implement a schedule...how would I go about that?
thx in advance ladies!

WPBS Fishing Show Focuses On Soldiers
A new fishing show on WPBS-TV is about more than just fishing.
"Fishing Behind the Lines" host Don Meissner takes soldiers fishing to area lakes and rivers during the show.
Meissner says the show is realy about the soldiers and their stories.
"I think it's a universal backdrop that's so relaxing it, I think, helps the soldiers let things out."

9-year-old gives birth in Mexico
Authorities searching for 17-year-old father
A 9-year-old girl has given birth in Mexico, and authorities are looking for the 17-year-old father.
The baby girl was born last week via C-section at a hospital in the city of Guadalajara, Jalisco state police spokesman Lino Gonzalez told The Associated Press.
The girl, identified only as Dafne, and her baby are now at home and healthy.
She's told authorities the baby's father was her boyfriend and described a loving relationship, but he's now nowhere to be found and could be charged for having a sexual relationship with the girl, according to ABC News.
The girl is one of 11 children who live in Ixtlahuacan de los Membrillos, a poverty-stricken neighborhood 25 miles south of Guadalajara.
"Her parents work all day and were not watching after her," Jalisco State Prosecutor's Office spokesperson Lino Ginzalez Corona told ABC News, "and therefore didn't realize what was about to happen."

Eremurus stenophyllus has produced several seedlings in the garden, with two blooming for the first time this year.
Summer bulbs 2012
From seed, yet! I'm so envious! How long do they take to bloom from seed? Given the wet winters in your area, do they require really good drainage?
Things like our wet climate enough to seed themselves around. :)
The area where these are growing is bordered by the driveway and the street and gets only a little summer water. The drainage is relatively good, compared to many places in my clay soil garden. They get baked during the short summer here. I'm not sure how old they are -- I noticed that the eremurus were seeding around maybe 4 years ago? The area is starting to get shaded out, so I must do some shrub pruning/clearing to keep them happy.
The cardiocrinum giganteum bulbs are in their glory today. I've been growing these since I was given seeds in 1996. Some years I have very few flowers stalks, but this year I counted 12, despite my thinning out the bulbs a bit.
Wow!! :o :o
Very ipressive!
I guess they often are, but yours are still exceptional, in my opinion. :o
And the grouping really emphasizes the enormity.
I have Cardiocrinum cathayanum seedlings, from seed from a friend. (Don't ask me why, because they won't be hardy here.) Said to have poor viability percentage, I estimate about 20% sprouted.
This time I'm posting a roscoea that's coming into flower. Though it didn't have a name when I got it, I think it's likely R. purpurea 'Purple Streaker'. It's a husky plant and blooms later than many of my roscoeas.
Wow Claire, showing some real beauties there, the Cardiocrinum grouping is fantastic. How tall are your plants? Question for all forumists, do lily beetles attack Cardiocrinum?
With the bountiful mid-to-late spring rains, and then with warm-to-hot temps and an unusually mild winter, some of the "giant plants" here are more giant than normal; Kirengeshoma palmata is over 6', and Thalictrum rochebrunianum must be over 8' tall, must get out to measure the plants.
Congratulations on the Eremurus stenophyllus seedlings, I'm pining for a replacement to a large mature clump I lost about 6 years ago. I did find one self-sown seedling 2 years later that found its way amidst a huge multi-shoot of a hardy hibiscus moscheutos form, certain death over time due to being being shaded out, so I extracted it from its doomed position, to kill it even faster in what I thought would be a better position :rolleyes:
Your purple and white streak Roscoea is really striking, the flower color and form perhaps worth putting up with the exuberant foliage. I've made it known here on this forum, that I have a love/hate relationship with this genus; most have wonderful flowers and look great in flower, but look fairly miserable the rest of the year with flopping languishing foliage season long afterwards. Here's my Roscoea cautleyoides which has never failed to put on a good show in late spring for the last decade, but also never fails to annoy me with coarse flopping "corn stalks" that grow tatty and unsightly the rest of summer and fall.
Also recently in bloom was Ornithogalum sphaerocarpum, a tall 30" spire of understated chartreuse flowers, I like it. I have yet to see a seedling, and thus far, it remains a single bulb after a number of years.
Hi, Mark,
The cardiocrinums range from 6 to 8 feet tall usually. I save the old bloom stalks for the paper wasps. You can hear them scritching off the outside of the stalk when you walk by.
As for the eremurus, since I live in the soggy Northwest, I planted the original ones between the street and the driveway to get as much heat off the pavement as possible. The soil is probably the only place in the garden that is not amended as I figured they'd like it lean and mean. My biggest concern is not having them rot in winter and so far things are working.
Your Roscoea cautleyoides is lovely. The clump in my garden is just starting to build up. I killed this plant a couple of times before getting it in the right place. It grows with parsley that often goes to seed and thus holds up the stalks. :-)
I suppose it's a bit late to be a summer bulb but we are still very warm here. Sternbergia sicula has rarely flowered well in the garden before but for some reason this year is an exception. Very showy.
Biarum pyrami from Turkey in flower today

"I would think long and hard before using public money to improve private property," City Attorney Frank Warner cautioned the council after listening to the proposal.
City Street Superintendent Albert Bridge said he estimated that the project would cost the city about $52,000, based on an engineer's plan for land located north of the church.
Methodist Pastor Larry McRorey spoke briefly to the council, relating how the property in question is used by church members and, sometimes, city vehicles. Also, members of the Beeville Volunteer Fire Department often use the space to park vehicles.
McRorey said the church realizes that parking can be scarce in parts of downtown Beeville, and he said improving the property by building a real parking lot there could benefit several businesses on the north side of the downtown area.
The pastor said improving the lot also would help provide parking for church members and visitors and local residents who use the church's community garden just east of the building.
He said the property has even been used as a landing area for helicopters in the past.
Bridge had a detailed report on how the $52,000 would be spent, to include the cost of renting a sheepsfoot roller, a water truck, an asphalt lay down machine and an oil spreader.
In his report, Bridge also listed the cost of materials, including concrete that would be needed to build driveways, sidewalks and a handicapped ramp.
He said the city would have to hire a contractor to build proper curbs around the lot because the city does not have the equipment to form those.
The street superintendent said the improved lot would provide 92 parking spaces and the project would take about a month to complete, weather permitting.
That was when Warner issued his warning to the council, saying that spending public funds on church-owned property could set a dangerous precedent for the city.
"What if City Hall is moved?" Warner asked. "Then the city would have built a church parking lot."
Church member Troy Draper told the council that the church's attorneys would work with Warner to make sure a legal agreement would be in effect.
He mentioned that Tax Increment Finance district funds have been used in the past to make improvements to private property. He said part of the parking lot property is located within the TIF zone.
"The intent is for parking in the entire downtown area," Draper said.
Church member David Morgan told the council that similar parking lot projects had been done in San Antonio, and he suggested that attorneys could find out how those agreements were made.
Warner recommended that the council avoid taking action on approving the project until the city has explored other options.
Councilman George P. "Trace" Morrill, an attorney, agreed with Warner and suggested that lawyers for the church meet with Warner before a formal agreement is made.
"I think there are other options out there that are available," Warner said.

March 9, 2005: Unlike humans, stars are born with all the weight they will ever have. A human's birth weight varies by just a few pounds, but a star's weight ranges from less than a tenth to more than 100 times the mass of our Sun. Although astronomers know that stars come in a variety of masses, they are still stumped when it comes to figuring out if stars have a weight limit at birth. Now astronomers have taken an important step toward establishing a weight limit for stars. Using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers made the first direct measurement within our Milky Way Galaxy that stars have a limit to how large they can form. Studying the densest known cluster of stars in our galaxy, the Arches cluster, astronomers determined that stars are not created any larger than about 150 times the mass of our Sun, or 150 solar masses.See the rest:
No, massive clusters reside throughout a galaxy. Until recently, astronomers believed that the three most massive star clusters in our Milky Way Galaxy resided in its core. Now, it appears that there is at least one cluster of similar proportions, Westerlund 1. Perhaps conditions in the center are ripe for the formation of massive clusters, but such clusters can exist elsewhere in a galaxy.
Astronomers don't know why stars are formed in different sizes. The lightest stars are roughly one-tenth the mass of the Sun; the heaviest, more than 100 time the Sun's mass. Imagine if adult humans had such a weight range.
Wherever astronomers look in space they find the same proportion of featherweight, middleweight, and heavyweight stars. They do know that lower-mass stars form in greater numbers than higher-mass stars.
By examining the Hubble image, astronomers estimated the amount of light emitted by the cluster's stars. Through further analysis, astronomers also assessed the ages of those stars and the distance to the cluster. They then estimated the total power output for each star. Astronomers next compared each star's power output with its age to make better predictions of its mass. The brightest stars in the cluster had initial masses of about 130 times the mass of our Sun.
When astronomers say "massive," they usually mean stars with initial masses greater than 20 times the mass of our Sun. By this definition, the Arches cluster contains about 160 massive stars, or about 10 percent of the known massive stars in our galaxy. These 160 stars represent about 50 percent of the total stellar mass in the cluster.

Stop motion is an animation technique which makes static objects appear to be moving. It is central to the claymation technique used on popular children's shows such as Gumby and to the puppet-based animation of such well-known films as The Nightmare Before Christmas (Tim Burton, 1993), Chicken Run (DreamWorks/Aardman Animations, 2000) and now The Corpse Bride (Tim Burton, 2005).
Stop motion requires a camera, either motion picture or digital, that can expose single frames. It works by shooting a single frame, stopping the camera to move the object a little bit, and then shooting another frame. When the film runs continuously for more than 15 frames per second, the illusion of continious movement is created and the objects appears to move by themselves. This is similar to the animation of cartoons, but with real objects instead of drawings.
In animation, hundreds of still pictures are captured onto film or computer and then played back in rapid succession to create the illusion of movement. There are many forms of animation, the most common being hand-drawn cel-animation, or 'cartoons' as it's more commonly called. Other types include stop-motion: real puppets and models moved in tiny increments and photographed for each frame, and CGI: computer created models that are animated on screen. A traditional brickfilm is made using stop-motion, but CGI is also quite common.
Clay animation is one of many forms of stop motion animation. Each animated piece, either character or background, is "deformable"—made of a malleable substance, usually Plasticine clay. The portmanteau term "Claymation" is a registered trademark in the United States, registered by Will Vinton in 1978 to describe his clay animated films. While the word is not considered a genericized trademark, it has become a trademark which is often used generically in the US to refer to any animation using plasticene or similar substance.
All traditional animation is produced in a similar fashion, whether done through cel animation or stop-motion. Each frame, or still picture, is recorded on film or digital media and then played back in rapid succession. When played back at a frame rate greater than 10-12 frames per second, a fairly convincing illusion of continuous motion is achieved. While the play-back feature creating an illusion is true of all moving image (from zoetrope, to films to videogames), the techniques involved in creating CGI are generally removed from a frame-by-frame process.
3. Gumby:
Gumby is a dark green clay humanoid figure who was the subject of a 233-episode series of American television which spanned over a 35-year period. He was animated using stop motion clay animation. The show also featured Pokey, a red clay pony, and Gumby's nemeses, the Blockheads.
4. The Nightmare Before Christmas:
The Nightmare Before Christmas (also known as Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas) is a 1993 stop motion fantasy film directed by Henry Selick and produced/co-written by Tim Burton. It tells the story of Jack Skellington, a being from "Halloween Town" who opens a portal to "Christmas Town". Danny Elfman wrote the film score and provided the singing voice of Jack, as well as other minor characters. The remaining principal voice cast includes Chris Sarandon, Catherine O'Hara, William Hickey, and Glen Shadix.
The genesis of The Nightmare Before Christmas started with a poem by Burton as a Disney animator in the early-1980s. With the success of Vincent in 1982, Disney started to consider The Nightmare Before Christmas as either a short subject or 30-minute television special. Over the years, Burton's thoughts regularly returned to the project, and in 1990, Burton and Disney made a development deal. Production started in July 1991 in San Francisco. Walt Disney Pictures decided to release the film under their Touchstone Pictures banner because they thought Nightmare would be "too dark and scary for kids".The Nightmare Before Christmas has been viewed with critical and financial success. Disney has reissued the film under their Disney Digital 3-D format in 2006, 2007 and 2008.
5. DreamWorks:
DreamWorks, LLC, also known as DreamWorks Pictures, DreamWorks SKG or DreamWorks Studios, is a major American film studio which develops, produces, and distributes films, video games, and television programming. It has produced or distributed more than ten films with box-office grosses totalling more than $100 million each. Its most successful title to date is Shrek 2.
DreamWorks began in 1994 as an ambitious attempt by media moguls Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg, and David Geffen (forming the SKG present on the bottom of the DreamWorks logo) to create a new Hollywood studio. In December 2005, the founders agreed to sell the studio to Viacom, the parent company of Paramount Pictures. The sale was completed in February 2006. In 2008, Dreamworks announced its intention to end its partnership with Paramount and signed a US$1.5 billion deal to produce films with India's Reliance ADA Group.
DreamWorks' animation arm was spun-off in 2004, into DreamWorks Animation SKG. Its films were distributed worldwide by Paramount, but the animation studio remained independent of Paramount/Viacom.

Montreal - Here I Come!

Posted by Amy Niles.Add new comment | Filed under: cables, dee dee bridgewater, excitement, experiences, festival international de jazz, festival international de jazz de montreal, Jazz Alive, jazz jazz jazz, montreal jazz festival, oliver jones, oscar peterson, photos, pianists, place des artes, Places and Spaces, sound checks, speakers, special man, tee shirt, wonderful city
I write this sitting in the press room of the Festival International de JAZZ de Montreal, looking out at a sea of banners announcing JAZZ JAZZ JAZZ and more wonderful JAZZ. Facing me is the image of a special man we lost last year, Oscar Peterson, displayed proudly on the building that houses two of the main stages of this great festival. Tonight, I will walk past Oscar to hear Dee Dee Bridgewater and then two of the greatest living pianists of our day- Hank Jones and Oliver Jones, performing together, with Oscar Peterson looking over all of us.
Its too early- even for this festival- for the music to start from all of the outdoor stages surrounding the Place des Arts, but the soundchecks go on, the crews deliver cases of instruments and cables and speakers, and the excitement builds. The WBGO team will be blogging from "The Montreal Jazz Festival" in the coming days, sharing some of the highlights not only of the festival, but the wonderful city that welcomes us all every year to share in this extraordinary event.
If you are here, let us know. Share your thoughts and experiences. Where are you eating? What are you seeing? Who have you discovered? With so many events going on, we can't possibly bring all of them to those of your reading this. But you can share your experiences. I promise to put up some photos as I go.
I can't sit still anymore- I've got a whole city to explore... First stop: got to buy my tee shirt!
The elegance of Eliane Elias
January 18, 2008Add new comment | Filed under: brain, café con leche, desk, Diversions, eliane elias, Encounters, good reason, gray matter, honey, Jazz Alive, jobim, Live Music, morning shift, newscasts, photograph, pianist, smooth man, speakers, special man
I rarely work the morning shift around here. 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. newscasts are Doug Doyle territory and for good reason. It takes a special man to get up at 3:30 a.m. and get here in time to deliver the news at 6 a.m., sharp. Frankly, I ain't that special, man. Those of you who've heard me at that time in the morning, know what I'm talking about.Still, when Doug's out, I get the call. One recent morning, however, I was sitting at my desk, staring blankly at my computer monitor, the written word failing me, when all of a sudden, dripping from the speakers behind me, like honey on a nubile neck, comes Eliane Elias singing Jobim's "Photograph (Fotografia)."
The vocal, so lush and silken, insinuated itself into my soft gray matter and swirled around like the café in my café con leche. I closed my eyes and drank deeply, Eliane inside my brain. MMM. It's just about the only thing that went right that morning.
Eliane Elias is just smooth, man, (as both a singer and a pianist) so if you get a chance, I urge you to join us (yes, I'll be there) tomorrow at J&R Music's Park Row store (23 Park Row, NYC, Second Floor) for a FREE live performance and broadcast of some of the material from her new release "Something For You: Eliane Elias Sings and Plays Bill Evans."
The performance starts at 4 p.m. and, even if you're in Rio, Brasil, you can hear it live. - David Cruz

So, my crazy search for answers started about a week ago, we went to the dr for the 6 month check up and my little man had only gained a little over a lb in 2ish months. So I went home and stressed. He is EBF, on demand, every 2/3 hours and does maybe a 4/5 stretch at night.
Now, he also is ridiculously long, he grew 4in 2ish months. So I took this into account and tried to relax, then the green poop showed up and I realized I had been seeing it off and on for I can't remember how long. So I googled and found the supply issue of foremilk/hind milk but the 'fix' is block nursing which my little man already does because of his favorite side, he isn't gaining tons of weight, and he isn't fussy while nursing. It doesn't seem to fit to me.
Then this morning at 4am, that's when my little man wakes and poops, I watched him poop out more green poop and this time it was very mucusy and bubbly, went to google and found the cow protein allergy issue and I have decided to go dairy free for a month and see how things play out. I have also called a lactation consultant but she hasn't gotten back to me. I am lactose intolerant but I love milk so I just limit how much I drink and deal. So the cow protein seems to fit but when I read other people's experiences everyone's baby is much younger than mine, he is 7 months today and it seems a little late in the game for a allergy to show up. Right? Anyone have any other ideas? Experiences?
Help please.

Obama's White House, anticipating Perry's cowboy boot on Obama's posterior bottom side every step of the way to the General Election, shot back with a volley of Liberal insults directed at Perry. Obama spokespersons began chastising Perry for his logical insistence that both tax cuts and spending cuts are needed to fix our nation's economic woes.

The Soul Series Special Edition!
I noticed my publisher, Siren, has dropped the price of the print version of Captured (my very fave) from $12.99 to $4.98. Don't know how long this will last so… If the price has been raised drop me a note, I'll see what I can do.
If you already have the books, yay! You can still do me a favor and spread the word. Tweet. Talk. Mention the sale to your friends.
With Love and Gratitude, Julia

The light to medium-duty trucks from Volvo up to 1932 had not been very modern, having two-wheel brakes and wooden-spoke wheels. It was obvious that a smaller, more modern truck was needed. Volvo's resulting LV71 and LV73 series proved very popular, to such an extent that these two truck series can be said to have established Volvo as a major exporter of trucks by the mid 30s.
However, the most radical step of the era was to move the engine of the truck, which had normally been placed behind the front axle, forwards and upwards on top of the front axle, thereby greatly improving the axle load distribution. The result was the Volvo LV8 and LV9 trucks, two very popular truck series that were to become standard Swedish trucks during the late 1930s.

I am sure Hello Kitty the brand could have been inspired by a white kitty and since the brand has been around it is now the name of many white kitties.ReplyCancel
@Seven of eleven Hello Kitty is a comic character who over the past God knows how many years, in Japan and more recently in USA has been put of everything from Lunch-boxes to feminine hygiene products.
Japaneses girls and some men will wait in line for days for the latest HK stuff. Think of it as youths waiting overnight for the new Air Jordans.ReplyCancel
Japs prolly gotta say its a girl, so they can sell Hello Kitty fuck dolls and not run afoul of beastiality laws.
It is a land where it is OK to film whores being given baby eel enemas, but genitals must be pixelated. Where it is legal for a whore to rent out her anus and mouth, but not her vagina. And most shockingly, they buy Avril Lavigne albums.ReplyCancel
Dear Santa, all I want for Christmas is the brain bleach that can scrub away the thought of baby eel enemas. Thank you, Santa! XO, 7ReplyCancel

The story has an update: Sanrio didn't mean it the way it sounded.
From Kotaku.com:
When Kotaku called Sanrio's Tokyo headquarters today and asked whether or not Hello Kitty was indeed a cat, a spokesperson explained, "Hello Kitty was done in the motif of a cat. It's going too far to say that Hello Kitty is not a cat. Hello Kitty is a personification of a cat."
My 5 year old niece got a MP3 player and needed some headphones since like me, she has closed ear canals that make it hard to hear and the earplug things don't stay in. She went to the store and the pair she picked out were Hello Kitty in KISS makeup because I'm a huge KISS fan and she's gotten into them because of me lolReplyCancel

Heater core box/cover ? Pic of that (if it's an original) would point at small or big block depending on where the hose outlets are located - I agree with the color combo - Le Mans is my favorite 68/9 color (for all you H.O. gurus !)Regards -
