A comprehensive monthly series for caregiving professionals and family members caring for those with dementia and Alzheimer's is being held at the Ukiah Senior Center.
The free classes are sponsored by the Redwood Coast Regional Center and are facilitated by Alexis Glidewell, family consultant and associate clinical social worker at the Regional Center. The RCRC, a division of North Coast Opportunities, provides information and assistance to families and caregivers of adults with brain impairments due to injury or disease, as well as to the caregivers of the frail elderly. This series of classes is tailored to caregivers, with the goal of helping to mitigate the grief and frustration experienced by those caring for loved ones.
"This is a place where caregivers can speak openly and not hold anything back," says Glidewell.
On a recent Wednesday, two films were shown and discussion with the attendees followed. The first film was titled, "Recognizing and Responding to Emotions of People With Dementia."
The film discussed emotional intelligence, training people to observe the outer indicators of Alzheimer's to help determine what is going on inside the patient. In the film, nursing staff were trained to recognize different emotional cues. Hours of film were shot of residents with dementia, cataloging their facial expressions and reactions to external stimuli. Subtle, non-verbal signs of emotion can be learned, Glidewell emphasizes.
Expressions to learn
The film focused on baseline facial and body expressions, which included interest, anxiety, anger, sadness and pleasure.
Interest indicates that the person is engaged with their environment. Visual clues included a patient following someone with their eyes, engaging in a task or responding to conversation.
Anxiety is demonstrated by repeated or agitated motions, tight facial muscles and furrowed brows.
Subtle signs of anger are important for caregivers to recognize. Teeth clenching, distancing gestures, cursing or fist shaking can indicate escalating anger.
In contrast, sadness involves softening of muscles- drooping eyes, crying, putting head in hands or a flat, expressionless face. Sadness is the emotion most missed by professionals in people with dementia.
Gentle touches, reaching out, kissing and laughing are indicators of pleasure.
The combination of impaired intellectual capacity and diminished memory in people with dementia makes standard communication difficult. The film stressed paying attention to emotions behind a person's words and physical cues, body language and facial expressions.
"When we rely on cues from words alone, intellect-to-intellect, we often miss the boat," noted Glidewell. "People with dementia maintain instinct, intuition and emotion. We have to pay attention to the need and emotion behind the words. If a person with dementia says, I want to go home,' the word home' can be symbolic - a place where basic needs are being met, where they can let their guard down. The disease process robs people of that sense of "at-home-ness,'' she continues.
"Sometimes we have to be reminded to slow down and pay attention," says Glidewell. "There's a lot of information we can get from our loved ones, even without words. As caregivers we can evaluate emotions. If someone is getting angry, we can get the kids out of the room, lower the lights or do things to reduce a person's vulnerability. It's our job to have compassion for other people, but it's probably unrealistic to think we can change people's emotions. By recognizing emotions, we can choose how to proceed," she continues. "Language is just code for information, and when we get dementia, the code changes."
Challenges for the family
The second film, "He's Doing This to Spite Me," featured family members undergoing challenging interactions with their loved ones. It depicted parents and children, husbands and wives, whose caregiving roles, because of the disease, have reversed.
Talking about feelings is vital. "It is heartbreaking for significant others and children to watch their loved ones progress from the person they knew and loved to someone who is literally a virtual stranger," says Glidewell.
Caregivers must learn to control their reactions to the disease. Flexibility, patience and understanding are essential to help someone with dementia. Power struggles between caregivers and loved ones are common. "The most important thing caregivers can do is to redefine relationships between family members. The disease is driving what goes on in the home. Caregivers must adjust to these changes and help their family member utilize their remaining abilities, despite the fact that the sense of normalcy from an earlier time in family relationships no longer exists," she continues.
"With dementia patients, behavior is a symptom. Caregivers must healthily lead their family member, becoming patient with themselves as they adapt to their changing roles."
It's not unusual to feel conflicting emotions while caring for someone with dementia. Glidewell helps people understand there is always room for acceptance. "We don't have to find the disease acceptable. We're working with a cloudy situation. Emotions can be scary, particularly if we haven't been raised in a culture that supports emotional responses. But we can realistically come to terms with the parameters of our situation. It is healthy for caregivers to talk about the dark parts of the disease," she continues. "A pressure cooker without a steam valve is a bomb. If we can find a safe, appropriate outlet to direct that steam, we won't burst on the person we're caring for."
Alzheimer's is dementia, Glidewell stresses. "There are many dementing illnesses. Dementia has become synonymous with Alzheimer's. It's similar to a fever- you can have dementia caused by many things- Alzheimer's, cancer, strokes and many other illnesses," Glidewell stresses. "Even primary care physicians aren't always capable of making comprehensive diagnoses. Medications, patient history, lab work and neuropsychological testing all contribute to a diagnosis. "A diagnosis can make a huge difference for caregivers. My bias is that you get good, comprehensive workups and information," Glidewell told the attendees.
Caregivers need to give themselves permission to experience the full spectrum of emotions - ambiguity, fear, helplessness, shame, even anger. Ambivalence and ambiguity is a normal response to an unpredictable situation. "My job is to help people make the decisions that are best for them, and to help them accept these normal, but intense feelings," she explains. "It's healthy to feel anxious, or guilty. As caregivers, we don't often have time to catalogue our emotions. Your loved one's emotions are normal, and so are yours," she stresses to the group. "The challenge for caregivers is remembering to use these helpful strategies, particularly when all our plates are spinning in the air."
A caregiver support group is offered on the 2nd and 4th Mondays of the month at Community Care in Ukiah. On Saturday, March 1, The Resource Center is presenting a conference entitled "Current Trends in Dementia Care." The conference will feature a variety of speakers and CEU's will be offered for health care professionals.

Maria Korp still in coma
Page Tools
Maria Korp, the Melbourne woman severely beaten and left for dead, remains in a coma more than a month after being found in the boot of her car.
The 50-year-old mother of two was found in the boot of her red Mazda sedan near Melbourne's Shrine of Remembrance on February 13, four days after she disappeared from her home at Mickleham, in Melbourne's outer north west.
Her husband Joseph Korp, 47, and his former lover Tania Herman, 38, have been charged with attempted murder, conspiracy to murder and intentionally causing serious injury. They were both remanded into custody.
Mrs Korp's daughter, Laura De Gois, said her mother remained unconscious.
"There's no improvement," she said.
Mrs Korp remains in a stable condition in Melbourne's Alfred Hospital, where she was initially listed in a critical condition and placed in a medically-induced coma.
Korp and Herman are expected to reappear in the Melbourne Magistrates Court for a committal mention hearing on May 12.

Chabad rejected a proposal by Russian President Vladimir Putin that a disputed collection of books and documents be kept at a Jewish museum in Moscow.
The New York-based religious movement, responding Thursday to the suggestion floated by Putin earlier this week, insisted that Russian authorities immediately hand over the so-called Chabad Library.
"The collection must be returned to the Agudas Chasidei Chabad library at Chabad's worldwide headquarters in Brooklyn, N.Y.," Nathan Lewin, the movement's attorney, was quoted by The Associated Press as saying.
Chabad claims sole ownership of thousands of Jewish texts seized by Soviet authorities during the 1920s and 1940s.
Last month, a U.S. District Court judge penalized Moscow $50,000 a day until it releases the documents. The Russian government considers the texts to be state property and refuses to pay any fines.

What household chore do you dread the most?
Laundry for sure!! I have 6 girls and a boy. They make alot of dirty laundry.

Definitely bathrooms.
putting away laundry and emptying the dishwasher and mopping the floors and cleaning the toilet and cleaning the tub and dusting and vacuuming and washing windows and filling the dishwasher and cleaning out the fridge and cleaning the microwave oven and putting stuff away in general and putting the groceries away and wipping down the walls and baseboards and making the bed..........
Dishes. Which is why I passed that chore down to my son and exchange students;)

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Gear (General) › Buying a Tarptent… need trekking poles
Feb 24, 2013 at 10:22 pm #1299676
Sean PassanisiBPL Member
Hi. I plan on purchasing a tarptent soon but have never used trekking poles and need to buy some for support. Seems like the Gossamer ones are popular around here. Any other suggestions? Does one typically use the poles on trails with greater incline/declines?
Thank you.Feb 24, 2013 at 10:52 pm #1958377
Travis LeannaBPL Member

Hi Sean. Henry's shelters are fantastic. But I would suggest not buying trekking poles simply to hold up the shelter.
Personally, I say buy a dedicated set of tent poles that fit the shelter, and experiment with trekking poles to see if they are something you actually like using.
If you find you truly enjoy using trekking poles, then you can certainly use them for a shelter.
But seriously consider holding off on trekking poles if your main reason for getting them is to support a tarptent.
Good luck!Feb 24, 2013 at 11:18 pm #1958379
Herbert SitzBPL Member
@hesLocale: Pacific NW
In addition to what Travis said, some of the Tarptent designs don't require trekking poles at all, e.g., the Rainbow and the Moment. The Contrail uses a single trekking pole.Feb 25, 2013 at 12:17 am #1958384

@mattgugelLocale: Kanangra-Boyd NP
I have a SS2 and a Contrail – both which use trekking poles.
I personally have found using carbon Fibre Trekking poles are excellent to take weight off my knees and give support on uneaven ground. I used to shun them but the minimal weight is now totally justified.
For me, having poles and also using them for tent poles is just plain great. Why carry extra weight when you don't need to?
Of course you can buy CF poles, or alternatively, cut down some tree branch to suffice.
I use a brand here in Australia fairydown/macpac – got them on special for $80AU. I have also use the BD Ultradistance poles for both tents. I find 135cm is what I use for height but can go even higher for more headroom.
Yeah, you can just get the CF poles – but consequently cannot use them for anything bar tent poles. Atleast with trekking poles you can multi use themFeb 25, 2013 at 5:22 am #1958401
J RBPL Member
I agree you shouldn't carry trekking poles you don't know if you will like/use just to hold up your shelter. My suggestion is to try trekking poles first — I also used to be skeptical but once I tried poles I won't go back. They help on inclines and declines as well as on level terrain, they take weight off your legs and help steady your balance or recover from the inevitable trips and slip.
You can get a cheapie pair at Walmart for under $20. Heavy, but will give you an idea if you like trekkers. If you like poles you can use the cheapies or upgrade as you wish, but if you don't like them then many makers of shelters that use poles for support can also provide a lighter pole designed just for supporting the shelter.Feb 25, 2013 at 5:39 am #1958403
Nick LarsenMember
@stingray4540Locale: South Bay
I'll second, the walmart suggestion. Cheap way to find out if you like them.
Personally I didn't use them until I blew my knee out on a trail. Fashioned a pole from a sapling, and was surprised at how much pressure was taken off my knee. Made it possible to finish the trip, even if I was in pain. Otherwise I may have had to crawl to the nearest TH.
Since then, I picked up a pair at Walmart, and love them! I also noticed they help me hike faster once I get into a rhythm. I'd like to pick up a pair of CF ones, but at the moment, I haven't felt the weight of the ones I have, particularly burden me.Feb 25, 2013 at 7:31 am #1958439

Here's recommendation of some $27 poles at Costco by Andrew Skurka:
They're not too heavy and from sound of it they're probably preferable to cheap ones Walmart.Feb 25, 2013 at 8:38 am #1958472
David UreMember
If you have never used trekking poles, I would suggest buying (or renting from REI) a pair and try them out first. If you are not keen on using them, then buying a tarptent that requires trekking poles seems a bit backward. In this situation, I would simply buy a tent with a dedicated pole structure – lots of light ones available. Or… a tarptent that does not require trekking poles (i.e. Moment, Scarp, Rainbow, etc).Feb 25, 2013 at 10:22 am #1958497
Ross BleakneyBPL Member
@rossbleakneyLocale: Cascades
Even if you own trekking poles, you may still want to use lightweight poles to hold up your tent. My wife and I own a TarpTent Squall 2 and decided to buy a couple poles from TarpTent. They weigh about 2 ounces a piece, so the weight penalty isn't too big. If we base camp, it is easier to just set up the tent with the pole, rather than switch back and forth during the day. You can also use sticks (if push comes to shove). But that is a hassle as well. Carrying a pole is also useful if you are worried about breaking a trekking pole. You could carry a spare trekking pole, but that would be a lot heavier.
If you do decide to buy trekking poles, I would recommend Gossamer Gear or Black Diamond poles. Gossamer Gear poles are really light. Black Diamond poles have the best locking system.Feb 25, 2013 at 11:53 am #1958527
Sean PassanisiBPL Member
Hello everyone. Thanks for all of your insights and advice. I will hold off on purchasing trekking poles since I have no experience using them. But it does sound like the type of thing that I will try.
I'm leaning towards the SST over the DoubleRainbow based on my research on BPL. If I go that route, I will purchase the poles from Tarptent and then replace in the future if needed.
Thank you Anna for the additional note.Feb 25, 2013 at 12:04 pm #1958529
David UreMember
Sean, if you use the SS2 with the carbon poles it will not be as stable as the Double Rainbow. If you are concerned with condensation, just use the Rainbow liner.

It was a restful 3 day vacation and we want to go back!
We enjoyed Ali`s condo for 3 nights on our holiday tour through Florida.
We felt at home right away!
The condo, the beach, the pool and especially the more than helpul and friendly neighbours made our stay a very special one!
The surrounding has everything you need , the pool is right in front of the door ,the beach across the street.The spotless condo has everything you need and even more!!
Unfortunatelly we did not meet Ali in person but we had a really nice conversation and she answered all our questions immediately!

My friends and I came down for the weekend to celebrate my last week as a Bachelor and had a great time. Its close to Madeira and has plenty of good, affordable restaurants. Great coffee shop only a block away. Beach access right across the street. Of course the sand and water were perfect even with hurricane Matthew. I will definitely be going back.
A real nice and clean accommodation. Family atmosphere. Close to the beach.
Our family truly enjoyed our time at Coconut Villas in Redington Shores. Ali is easy to communicate with and was quick to respond to inquiries before & during our stay. The condo was clean & stocked with items for adult & children vacationers including; beach toys & towels, children's books, puzzles and other toys, bath towels, cookware, dinnerware (even for the kiddos), wi-fi, t.v. & dvd player, etc. There was also a washer and dryer on site at the villa.
Within the villas was a lovely pool & patio area that permitted the use of a large grill and the beach was a short walk across the street. The other tenants at the villa were pleasant and the groundskeeper was very helpful during our stay. And last, but not least....the beds were very comfortable!
The accommodations were perfect for unwinding & relaxing after an exciting Disney trip!
I loved the beach decor throughout the condo!
Thank you Ali! We hope to visit again!
We stayed at Coconut Villas with our 2 children for 7 nights, the accommodation was great and Ali was a pleasure to deal with. The condo was spotless, nicely decorated, well stocked with little extras which made all the difference. We enjoyed the pool area and outdoor space which is all very well maintained and in a pretty setting.
The location was also great with the beach across the road and plenty of places to eat nearby.
We would definitely recommend this property as a great holiday rental.

Pelosi has dirt on Newt/she can't wait
Well, now that Politico got rid of Cain, DEMs will go after Newt - at the
right time.
Pelosi sat on the panel, equally divided between Democrats and Republicans, that
concluded Gingrich used tax-exempt contributions for political purposes and then misled
congressional investigators about it. The charges stemmed from a college course Gingrich
taught from 1993 to 1995 that was linked to GOPAC, his political action committee, in violation
of federal laws barring the use of tax-exempt funds for partisan purposes.
Someone said there's a million pages of
public documents on it the public may not be aware of.
She wants to wait for the right time like when he's nominated and she
feels he will be as he is rising in polls and is well ahead of Romney who
is now 3rd behind Ron Paul.
Newt said bring it on and most of the charges vs him were repudiated and said he
hopes the HOuse will condemn her if she uses it. He'll fight back.

If you become pregnant or think you may be pregnant, tell your doctor immediately.
Danazol has rarely caused very serious (possibly fatal) blood clots (such as stroke), liver disease, and increased pressure on the brain (benign intracranial hypertension). Seek immediate medical attention if you have any symptoms of these side effects, including weakness on one side of the body, slurred speech, vision changes, severe stomach/abdominal pain, dark urine, persistent nausea/vomiting, yellowing eyes/skin, mental/mood changes (such as confusion), severe/persistent headache.
USES: This medication is used in women to treat pelvic pain and infertility due to a certain uterus disorder (endometriosis) and also to treat breast pain/tenderness/nodules due to a certain breast condition (fibrocystic breast disease). It is also used in both men and women to prevent swelling of the abdomen/arms/legs/face/airway due to a certain congenital disease (hereditary angioedema).
Danazol is an androgen similar to testosterone. For the treatment of endometriosis and fibrocystic breast disease, it works by decreasing the amount of hormones made by the ovaries. These hormones usually make the conditions worse. For the treatment of angioedema, danazol helps to increase the amount of a certain protein in your body's defense system (immune system).

About MeI've had countless people tell me I should go into modeling, and I thought "what the hell?", so here I am! I haven't really got any expectations... just wanna cut my teeth in the field.
My day to day style and deeply reflects my attitude and personality, which is driven by all things that revolve around (primarily 80's) heavy metal. That being said, I have no problem dawning a less edgy style for shoots if need be.
My only minor stipulation is that my parent will be present for all shoots.
Hope to hear from some of you guys. Thanks so much, and have a rad day!

If Michael Moore can bring in Wallace Shawn as an economics expert, I guess director Peter Rodger can enlist Ringo Starr as an authority on religion in his worldwide search for an answer to the question "Who is God?" ("God is love," says Ringo, as in "All you need is . . . ") So, equipped with "a camera and a hat" (and also, it must be said, a suffocating wall-to-wall soundtrack that sounds variously like outtakes from a Pink Floyd album and beatbox music for an aerobics session), Rodger compiles these glibly edited sound bites parroting new-age pieties.
And what do we learn? That folks who say theirs is the only God and kill those who don't agree are not so appealing as the monks, priests, imams, rabbis, bit actors, and cute kids being treated for cancer who agree with Ringo. Grouchy Bob Geldof, who says it's all rubbish, is somewhere in the middle, but my hat's off to the Kabbalist rabbi who when asked whether God exists says no and when asked whether he believes in Him says yes.

US gun range granted alcohol licence
A gun range has been given permission to serve alcohol by Oklahoma City Council when it opens later this spring.
Wilshire Gun Range, a planned 40,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility, could soon be serving up alcoholic beverages to its gun toting customers, strictly after firing off their rounds, after the city council voted 6 to 3 in favour of the licence on Tuesday, according to a report by okcfox.com.
Co-owner Jeff Swanson's plans for the gun range includes 24 firearm lanes, 10 archery lanes, a simulation room, classrooms, VIP Lounge, and a café, but was quick to quash any thoughts that drinks would flow too freely at the facility.
"Any misconceptions or joking aside, beer and bullets, guns and alcohol, they do not mix," Swanson told the news site, adding, "once you order a drink your driver's license is scanned and you are red-flagged and you're not allowed into any of the shooting facilities either as a spectator and certainly not as a shooter for the remainder of the day".
Now that the city council has approved the request, Wilshire Gun Range must apply for a license from the ABLE Commission, which deals with the enforcement of the laws regarding alcoholic beverages – the last hurdle in gaining its licence.
If approved, it would be the first gun range in the state of Oklahoma to have been given approval to serve alcohol, however similar licenses are already in place at ranges in California and Texas.
Oklahoma's gun laws are known to be some of the most relaxed in the US with residents aged over the 18 able to purchase a rifle, shotgun or handgun without a permit.

Varys, called "the Spider", is an enigmatic member of the small council and the master of whisperers, or spymaster, for the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms.[2] In the television adaptation Game of Thrones he is played by Conleth Hill.[3]
Appearance and Character
- See also: Images of Varys
Varys is a eunuch; he is plump, completely bald, and effeminate. He has soft white hands. He powders his face and smells of lilacs.[4][5]
He prefers comfortable clothing, fine silks (often in outrageous colors), velvets, the richest damasks, and soft slippers that allow him to walk without making any sound. His outward manner is obsequious, mysterious, and squeamish. He is a master of disguise and can easily change his appearance, gait, smell, and costume to become unrecognizable.
Secrets are Varys's trade, and his skill at acquiring them has earned him a reputation for being seemingly omniscient. Crucial to his trade is a spy network of children that he refers to as his "little birds".
His history of providing information to all sides, of aiding enemies, of pitting rivals against one another, and of manipulation to achieve his ends has earned him a reputation of being distasteful and untrustworthy amongst the nobles at court. In private, however, he claims to value order, stability, and peace above all, and professes loyalty to those who work for those goals as well.
Varys was born as a slave in Lys, according to Grand Maester Pycelle.[1][6] Varys himself says that he was orphaned, and was apprenticed to a traveling folly, a troupe of mummers who worked the Free Cities, Oldtown, and occasionally King's Landing, by means of a fat little cog owned by the troupe's master. During their stay in Myr, a man offered a large sum of money for Varys, an offer his master found too tempting to refuse. The man gave Varys a potion that made him powerless to move or speak, but did nothing to dull his senses as his manhood was cut off at the stem, then burnt in a brazier in a Blood Magic ritual. Varys claims to have held a hatred for all things magical ever since.[7]
With the ritual complete, the man had no further use for Varys and tossed him out on the streets. Varys asked the man what he should do, to which the sorcerer replied he supposed that he should die. Varys to spite him vowed to live. By that time the mummers had sailed and Varys was left alone. He resorted to begging, prostitution and thievery and soon was as good a thief as any in Myr, eventually becoming recognized as the best thief in the city, until a rival forced him out and he fled to Pentos.[7][8]
In Pentos, Varys was marked by his accent, and once it became known he was a eunuch, he was despised and beaten. Varys was poor, and slept in sewers during the day, whilse prowling the rooftops at night. He made an agreement with a poor sellsword named Illyrio Mopatis, and together they started a business, where Varys would steal objects from lesser thieves and Illyrio would get the objects back for their original owners for a small fee. Soon, everyone in Pentos who ever had valuables stolen from them knew who to ask to get their belongings back. In addition, the thieves in Pentos soon began to seek Varys out, half to try (and failing) to kill him, the other half to sell him the objects they had stolen in order to prevent Varys from stealing them. Varys and Illyrio quickly grew rich.[8]
Varys came to the realization that information was much more valuable than gold and gems and began training his spy network, then known as "little mice", to acquire the information, letters, ledgers and charts of the wealthy and powerful. The "mice" were orphans purchased by Varys; he chose those that were small, quick, and quiet, and taught them to read and write, as well as the skills required for sneak thievery such as climbing walls and slipping down chimneys, so that they might copy the information Varys desired without disturbing or alarming their targets.[8]
These secrets increased Varys and Illyrio's wealth tenfold, and in time Varys became so infamous that word of his talents reached the ears of King Aerys across the narrow sea, who in his growing paranoia no longer trusted his son, his wife, or his Hand.[8]
As spymaster in King's Landing, Varys's influence grew with Aerys's paranoia, as he was quick to point out traitors and schemers to his liege. Varys mastered the secret passages within the Red Keep and made good use of them with his spy network, who became known as his little birds. He had them memorize the passages and come to him whenever one discovered something of importance. Notably, Varys alerted Aerys to the possibility that his son Rhaegar was using attendance at the Tourney at Harrenhal as a pretext to rally Lords to his cause in removing Aerys as king, causing Aerys to attend the tournament, the first time he had left the Red Keep in years since the Defiance of Duskendale.[9]
Following the Battle of the Trident during Robert's Rebellion, Varys counseled Aerys to close his gates to Tywin Lannister, as he could not be trusted. Aerys, however, listened to Grand Maester Pycelle and opened the gates to the Lannister forces, who proceeded to sack the city and kill the remaining Targaryens present.
Though he continued in his post for King Robert, Varys's loyalty seemingly remained with House Targaryen. He kept a secret arrangement with Illyrio Mopatis, who seeks to put a Targaryen back on the Iron Throne. In fact, it was revealed that Varys switched the baby Aegon with that of a peasant baby. With the realm and Robert falsely believing him dead, Varys had Aegon smuggled across the narrow sea to be raised by Rhaegar's friend and exiled Hand of the King, Jon Connington. To conceal Connington's activities, Varys concocted the false story that Connington had drunk himself to death after being caught stealing from the Golden Company.
Recent Events
A Game of Thrones
After the Hand's Tourney, Varys disguises himself and comes to meet the Hand of the King, Lord Eddard Stark, at his chambers. He warns Eddard that Queen Cersei is trying to kill King Robert. He states that his goal is peace and stability and professes to assist Lord Eddard in his investigations against House Lannister. Varys also reveals that the former hand, Jon Arryn, was poisoned with the Tears of Lys for the crime of "asking questions".[5]
Varys brings Ser Jorah Mormont's report of Daenerys Targaryen being pregnant to the small council, which results in King Robert's command to assassinate both her and her unborn child. He meets Illyrio below the Red Keep where they discuss how to delay a war between Stark and Lannister until the right time.[10]
When King Robert is slain, Varys remains master of whisperers for King Joffrey. When Joffrey demands that someone take blame for his father's death, Varys suggests Ser Barristan Selmy.[4] Joffrey and Cersei dismiss Selmy, a move many outside the council saw as a folly.[11] Selmy later joined Daenerys Targaryen in the east as a result of his dismissal (this was most likely Varys plan the whole time). [12]
After Eddard Stark is imprisoned, Varys visits him disguised as a jailor. When tells Ned that his blood is that last thing he desires Ned points out that Varys stood by the queen, watched and said not a word as his personal guard was slaughtered. Varys replies that he was unarmed, unarmored and surrounded by Lannister swords. He then looks a Ned curiously, tilts his head and tells him,
|When I was a young boy, before I was cut, I traveled with a troupe of mummers through the Free Cities. They taught me that each man has a role to play, in life as well was mummery. So it is at court. The King's Justice must be fearsome, the master of coin must be frugal, the Lord Commander of the Kingsguard must be valiant … and the master of whisperers must be sly and obsequious and without scruple. A courageous informer would be as useless as a cowardly knight.[13]
Varys persuades Ned that for the sake of his daughter Sansa's life he must falsely confess to treason so Cersei will allow him to take the black, thus delaying a war between Stark and Lannister. When Ned shows reluctance, Varys insinuates that the Lannisters will kill Sansa if Ned continues to defy them. Ned asks who Varys truly serves, and Varys claims that the purpose of his machinations is not for personal power, honor, or loyalty, but simply the best intentions for the realm as a whole.[13]
Despite Varys's intentions to spare Eddard Stark's life, Joffrey goes against the council's wishes and decides at the last minute to have Ned Stark executed instead of allowing him to take the black much to the shock of Varys and the other onlookers.[14]
A Clash of Kings
Tyrion returns to the Broken Anvil after breaking the news to Cersei that he is acting Hand of the King to find Varys there with Shae, much to his dismay. After some veiled threats between them, Varys asks if Tyrion has seen the Red Comet, and Tyrion replies he is not blind; on the Kingsroad it had seemed to cover half the sky. Varys tells Tyrion that on the streets it is called the Red Messenger. "They say it comes as a herald before a king, to warn of fire and blood to follow." Before Varys leaves he poses a riddle to Tyrion:[4]
|In a room sit three great men, a king, a priest, and a rich man with his gold. Between them stands a sellsword, a little man of common birth and no great mind. Each of the great ones bids him slay the other two. 'Do it' says the king, 'for I am your lawful ruler.' 'Do it' says the priest, 'for I command you in the names of the gods.' 'Do it' says the rich man, 'and all this gold shall be yours.' So tell me-who lives and who dies?[4]
An uneasy alliance formed between Varys and Tyrion, with Varys providing Tyrion with information as to the goings-on in the city and the capital. Varys assists Tyrion in gaining control of the city watch and informs him that Ser Lancel Lannister was sleeping with Queen Cersei.[15][16]
Varys assists Tyrion in protecting Shae, setting a up a secret route through which he can visit her and keep her true identity secret from Cersei.[15] During their work togther, Varys reveals to Tyrion the origins of how he became castrated.[16] It is also revealed that Varys was the one who sent Gendry with Yoren to join the Night's Watch, so the boy would not be killed by Cersei's agents simply for the crime of being Robert's bastard.
A Storm of Swords
After Tyrion Lannister's recovery following the Battle of the Blackwater, he seeks out Varys and seeks to resume their alliance, which includes his assistance in continuing to facilitate his trysts with Shae. Varys obliges him, though when Tyrion is put on trial for the murder of King Joffrey, Varys testifies against Tyrion, providing notes on conversations between the two and a great deal of seemingly damning evidence.
After Tyrion is condemned to die, however, Varys is forced by Jaime Lannister, at swordpoint, to release Tyrion. He does so, and on the trip through the secret tunnels beneath the Red Keep leads Tyrion past a ladder that the dwarf recognizes as leading to the chamber of the Hand of the King, leading him to inquire how to access his old quarters to seek out his father. Varys makes a curiously weak and obligatory protest against this course of action, advising him to make haste and flee...while also giving precise directions on how to reach Tywin. Tyrion then ascends the ladder to kill his father Tywin. With this outcome and his subsequent arrangement for Tyrion to fit in to his master plan, it is very likely it was more than the threat of violence from a crippled Jaime that caused Varys to release the dwarf. As a loyalist, and knowing Tywin's threat to a Targaryen restoration, plus the fact he attempted to prevent rectification of Cersei's grievous errors, it is most likely he purposefully arranged Tywin's murder, but which strings he pulled and how are currently left unclear as Varys is a master of obfuscation.
Meanwhile, encamped outside Meereen, Ser Barristan Selmy reveals to Queen Daenerys Targaryen's horror that Ser Jorah Mormont has been spying on her on behalf of Varys and the small council for gold and in hopes of gaining a royal pardon. Barristan tells her that she is watched and since the day of her wedding to Khal Drogo there has been an informer at her side [17] – Dany knows that it can only have been Jorah.
After Meereen is taken Dany confronts Jorah in the Great Pyramid with regard to his spying on her on behalf of Varys. He confesses that he took the eunuch's gold and learned some ciphers and wrote some letters. [18] He admits to her that that he suspected that the wine intended for her in Vaes Dothrak had been poisoned after reading a letter from Varys brought there by caravan. He tells her that Varys wanted her watched, but not harmed. Dany banishes Ser Jorah for his betrayal.[18]
A Feast for Crows
After Varys's part in Tyrion's escape and Tywin's murder, he vanishes without a trace. A dungeon turnkey named Rugen disappears as well. In Rugen's living space a Tyrell coin is discovered and shown to Cersei, increasing Cersei's already-abundant mistrust of House Tyrell. Rugen is one of Varys' disguises.[19]
Cersei, now ruling in King's Landing as Queen Regent to her son Tommen, appoints Qyburn to fill the position of Master of Whisperers. Qyburn notes that many of Varys's spies came to him with secrets to sell, reinforcing Cersei's belief that Varys had always oversold his value to make people dependent on him and more vulnerable to his schemes.
Jaime Lannister also starts to suspect that maybe Varys had a hand in Tyrek Lannister's disappearance during the Riot of King's Landing, his reasoning being that Tyrek as the late King Robert's former squire would have had a deal of knowledge about the king's activities including his death and knowledge like that was always valuable, a fact which Varys knew better than anyone else. In addition, Varys did not go down to the docks with the rest of the court the day Myrcella was sent to Dorne, nor did he give Cersei any warning of what was about to happen, and it would have been a easy thing for Varys to spark a riot and have agents of his snatch Tyrek in the confusion. [20]
Readers also speculate that Varys was behind a puppet show in King's Landing that had become quite popular among the population. The show was about the kingdom of the beasts was ruled by a pride of Lions that grew arrogant and began to devour their own subjects, when the noble Stag makes objections they eat him too and state that it is their right as the strongest of beasts. At the end of the show a Dragon hatches from an egg and devours all the lions. When Cersei Lannister learned about the show from Qyburn she ordered the puppeteers put to death and those who watched it were to lose half their wealth if they were rich and to lose an eye for watching treason if they were poor. [21]
A Dance with Dragons
Varys employs the secret passages to enter the chambers of Grand Maester Pycelle and kill him. He then dispatches one of his "little birds" to fetch Kevan Lannister, now Lord Regent after Cersei's disgrace, under the pretext that the Grand Maester has a message for him.
Upon his entering the rookery, Varys shoots Kevan with a crossbow, going on to apologize and note that his actions are not out of malice but rather because Kevan's competent leadership threatened to undo Cersei's follies and years of Varys's careful planning. He explains to Kevan that Aegon Targaryen is still alive, and notes the preparations being made to make him the true leader, noting that his death will sow further dissent between the Lannisters and Tyrells, making the realm easy prey for Aegon to arrive and be proclaimed King, for the good of the realm. Varys then summons several of his "little birds" to end Ser Kevan's suffering.[22]
Known Disguises
Varys employs the use of various disguises to go about unnoticed. Upon seeing one of the disguises Tyrion remarks,
|A different look, a different smell, a different way of walking ... most men would be deceived".[7]
- As a stout man in a heavy brown robe in roughspun [5] – in cracked, mud-caked boots smelling of sweat. His face hidden by a cowl, hands drawn up into voluminous sleeves. At first he speaks in a strange low voice. Ned Stark is astonished to realize it is Lord Varys. Ned notices his usual cloying tones are gone and his voice is a thin and sharp as a whip.
- As a begging brother[7] – in filthy patched robes, bare feet crusty with dirt, a bowl hung about his neck on a leather thong where a septon would have worn a crystal. The smell of him would have gagged a rat. He has a mouth full of rotted teeth.
- As a woman [23] – plump, soft, matronly, with a round pin moon of a face and heavy dark curls. For one horrid moment Tyrion thinks its Lollys.

|Ser Barristan once told me the rot in King Aerys's reign began with Varys. The eunuch should never have been pardoned.[30]

Pack less. Be more.
Patgonia Blue Stretch Element size small, 1 year old, still being produced, $450 retail, has a small hole on sleeve, waterproof, breathable. I have grown up! so now it's too small and needs a good home. Make me an offer somewhere close to $120.
Nathan running "vest" hydration pack #020. Had for less than a year. Great pack, really – it doesn't bounce, just like they say. Has functioning bladder too! To be honest, I think the bite valve sucks, you may want to swap it out for a camelback valve, but the bladder is in great shape and is easy to clean. Asking $35 obo with shipping.
Thanks for looking!
I am interested in the Nathan pack. Will send contact info in a PM to you.
Ok, never mind. It's been a while since I have purchased anything from the Gear Swap. You can send me an email at MTBMaven at yahoo dot com.
Hey there Max. I wanted to check in to see if you are still interested in selling the Nathan hydration pack.

These breakfast or coffee-break scones unite a moist quick bread dough and dried fruit in one lightly sweetened bundle. Their texture is lighter than that of British scones.
The dough needs at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours' resting time in the refrigerator. The scones can be stored in an airtight tin for up to 1 day.
Make Ahead: Divide the disk of dough into 3 wedges. They can be frozen for up to 3 weeks. To store, wrap each wedge tightly in plastic wrap and then enclose in a resealable plastic food storage bag. To use the frozen dough, defrost in the refrigerator for 1 hour, then cut each large wedge into 3 equally sized wedges. Increase the baking time by 3 to 4 minutes.
Servings: 9 scones
- 3 cups plus 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 6 tablespoons sugar, plus 3 tablespoons for sprinkling the tops of the unbaked scones (may substitute coarse or sparkling sugar as garnish)
- 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into small chunks
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon orange extract
- 2 1/2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest
- 1 cup mixed dried fruit (such as blueberries, cherries, cranberries, plums and/or apricots), large pieces cut into small dice, berries left whole
Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, allspice, nutmeg, cloves and 6 tablespoons of the sugar in a large mixing bowl. Drop in the chunks of butter; use a pastry blender or 2 round-edged table knives to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it has reduced to irregular bits the size of large peas.
Whisk together the egg, buttermilk, vanilla extract, orange extract and orange zest in a small bowl.
Pour the egg-buttermilk mixture over the flour-butter mixture, then sprinkle in the pieces of dried fruit; use a wooden spoon or stiff spatula to stir until a dough forms (it will be moderately firm and moist).
Knead the dough lightly in the bowl for 30 seconds. Form the dough into a uniform 8- to 9-inch disk. Wrap in wax paper and refrigerate for 1 hour or for up to 24 hours; see headnote.
When ready to bake, position an oven rack in the middle of the oven; preheat to 375 degrees. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Divide the chilled disk of dough into 3 equally sized wedges, then cut each of those into 3 smaller wedges (also of equal size); place them on the prepared sheet, spaced 3 inches apart. Use the remaining 3 tablespoons of sugar to sprinkle the top of each scone.
Bake on the middle rack for 25 to 30 minutes or until the scones are set and medium-golden on top. Cool the baked scones on the sheet for 1 minute, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature, or cool completely before storing.

I tried power cycling. Tried battery removal but neither seem to recover "Home". I see some suggestions outside the RW domain but don't want to undo anything the RW may have layered into the phone. Suggestions?

How Congress Could Fix Its Budget Woes Permanently
Posted on Feb 14, 2013
By Ellen Brown, Web of Debt
This piece first appeared at Web of Debt.
As Congress struggles through one budget crisis after another, it is becoming increasingly evident that austerity doesn't work. We cannot possibly pay off a $16 trillion debt by tightening our belts, slashing public services, and raising taxes. Historically, when the deficit has been reduced, the money supply has been reduced along with it, throwing the economy into recession. After a thorough analysis of statistics from dozens of countries forced to apply austerity plans by the World Bank and IMF, former World Bank chief economist Joseph Stiglitz called austerity plans a "suicide pact."
Congress already has in its hands the power to solve the nation's budget challenges – today and permanently. But it has been artificially constrained from using that power by misguided economic dogma, dogma generated by the interests it serves. We have bought into the idea that there is not enough money to feed and house our population, rebuild our roads and bridges, or fund our most important programs—that there is no alternative but to slash budgets and deficits if we are to survive. We have a mountain of critical work to do, improving our schools, rebuilding our infrastructure, pursuing our research goals, and so forth. And with millions of unemployed and underemployed, the people are there to do it. What we don't have, we are told, is just the money to bring workers and resources together.
But we do have it. Or we could.
Money today is simply a legal agreement between parties. Nothing backs it but "the full faith and credit of the United States." The United States could issue its credit directly to fund its own budget, just as our forebears did in the American colonies and as Abraham Lincoln did in the Civil War.

Our Money Exists Only at the Will and Pleasure of Banks
Government-issued money would work because it addresses the problem at its source. Today, we have no permanent money supply. People and governments are drowning in debt because our money comes into existence only as a debt to banks at interest. As Robert Hemphill of the Atlanta Federal Reserve observed in the 1930s:
In the U.S. monetary system, the only money that is not borrowed from banks is the "base money" or "monetary base" created by the Treasury and the Federal Reserve (the Fed). The Treasury creates only the tiny portion consisting of coins. All of the rest is created by the Fed.
Despite its name, the Fed is at best only quasi-federal; and most of the money it creates is electronic rather than paper. We the people have no access to this money, which is not tur ned over to the government or the people but goes directly into the reserve accounts of private banks at the Fed.

Chloe was a special addition to our family. She was adopted in Lake Charles, LA, where my Dad was working at the time. Prior to Chloe, we began feeding another stray who had wandered onto our balcony. I named him Cameron, after a neighbouring town. We eventually gave him to what we thought would be a good home. When I was older, I learned the horrible truth that he had been shot with a BB gun (not by his owners). I am still troubled by this incident nearly 12 years later, and will never forget the orange cat that got stuck the tree, adjacent to our balcony.
Who we later presumed to be Chloe's birth mother was seen walking around our apartment complex. She was a Siamese cat, who my Dad would see in the parking lot before leaving for work each morning. Never to let an animal go hungry, my Mom began leaving milk in the bushes for the cat (or any stray) to drink.
One morning, my Dad saw that a Siamese cat had been killed, and its body had been left in the parking lot. He was worried to tell my Mom about it, as she had shown so much care to nurture a timid Siamese. Alas, she was not the same kitten that she had been feeding.
Apartment tenants began asking what she was doing in the bushes, in a less than polite manner. We became fearful for newly christened Chloe's safety, but she was too afraid to let my Mom pick her up. But after weeks of coaxing her, I had enough. I quietly approached her, massaged her neck, and scooped her up in my arms. Mom was flabbergasted that my bold approach had worked.
We assigned her a cardboard box, lined with a soft blanket, just as we had done with Cameron. We continued to feed her moist food from a pouch, water, and milk. She slept in her box, and I played with her when I returned home from school.
New tenants, with whom we shared a balcony with, moved in next door. They turned out to be drug dealers. For the most part they were quite friendly, and would make small talk about the cat. Still, not the most ideal living situation! They were eventually caught.
With the constant traffic up and down the stairs, and increasing number of strange people hanging around, we decided to lock Chloe up in our car at night. There, she would be safe with food and water, while it was cool enough for her during the winter months. One night she peed on the middle back seat of the car, and I was none to happy. I suppose it was to be expected.
At the end of March we went to Las Vegas. We boarded Chloe at the Farr Veterinary Hospital, along with Smudge and Kamara. They had never met Chloe, and obviously did not share the same kennel.
While at the hospital, Chloe was given all of her shots, along with a full medical examination. She weighed only 5lbs and 8 ounces. The vet also determined that she was a little under six months of age, and had already been spayed. We found it hard to believe that someone would abandon such a loving and beautiful pet, and would presumably leave their apartment without taking her.
When we returned from our trip, we decided to bring Chloe into our home. It was the 8th of April, 1996. Smudge was five, Kamara was three, and for the record, I was twelve years old. My parents thought the best way to integrate Chloe into our home was to keep her separately locked up in their bedroom and en suite bathroom, as we had previously done with Kamara. However, there was more cause for worry as Kamara had only been 3 weeks old at the time of his adoption, and Chloe was a six month old stray.
As time went by, we opened the bedroom doors, which had been closed to much curiosity. The three cats looked at each other. There was the occasional hiss, and some running away on Chloe's part, but that was all. Not long after their initial meeting, all three cats were eating their meals together in our tiny kitchen. As usual, Kamara extended his welcoming paws, and he and Chloe became the best of friends. Smudge was tolerant, but good about sharing her space.
At the end of the school year, we got ready for the move back to Canada. Mom and I had previously told my Dad that we would give Chloe to Auntie Helen once we got home, but that notion was far from mind. Chloe Purple was definitely a permanent fixture in our family, and that was quite apparent walking through the airports with all three pet carriers, which graduated in size.
Chloe fit in comfortably in our large house. She never intruded on Smudge's space, and through her demeanor it always seemed as if she did not feel that she deserved to be given love or a safe environment to live. At home, I felt so fortunate to be reunited with our two budgies, and having three cat siblings under my favourite roof was a dream come true! Having three cats rustling Christmas ribbons was a special memory.
For March break 1997, my family booked a trip to the Bahamas for one week. This time we left all three cats and the two birds in the comfort of their home. We had my school friend, Loren and her mom, come in to feed and play with them twice a day. Although the vacation was fun, I couldn't wait to see my siblings again. I also anticipated the release of the Aerosmith album, 'Nine Lives'.
When we arrived home everyone was healthy and happy to greet us at the door. I'm sure a lot of pet owners can identify with that! We were a family again, but just a few days later things would drastically change.
On the morning of Saturday March 15, 1997, our lovely Chloe Purple O'Rourke passed away.
She died under the breakfast table, while next to our Dad's chair. He heard a great "meow" and then a loud thump. He called for someone to come downstairs. I rushed to Chloe's side while Mom phoned the vet, and Dad grabbed a blanket. They told me not to touch her, in case it would spook her. I just sat on the floor and watched her breath deeply.
When my parents returned home from the Bridal Trail Veterinary Clinic with her purple collar and special star tag, I knew she was gone. Chloe had died from a brain aneurysm.
In my thirteen year old mind, I had not spent enough time with her. I felt badly for the times I had pushed her away when I didn't want to be bothered. I still regret it, ten years later.
The day she died, I wrote a small letter to her in our Pet Book:
"My special little Chloe Purple, I miss you so much! I can't believe you're gone. I'm sorry for not spending time with you. Now you're my special baby angel cat. You will always be my cute Maggot. We really love you a lot, and wish you would come back home. I will never stop loving you, and will never forget you."
