So yeah...that's the kind of person I am. Hello!
Seven-plus years in Richmond, most of which have been spent in the Fan. You might remember me from instances such as, "Oh hey, it's that guy with the beard I saw in Joe's Inn/Garnett's/Lamplighter/etc. that one time".
I just moved across the river and while it's kind of a food desert, living closer reminds me of growing up on the water (the James is a poor substitute for the Chesapeake Bay, but it's something).
Outside of work, I co-host a locally-produced movie podcast, which is easily the best podcast I've ever appeared on. It's also the first but hey who's counting?
- iPhone (an excellent rectangle)
- Coffee (just hook it up to my veins)
- Heavy things (to pick up, and then put back down)
- Chuck Taylors (red laces optional)
- More coffee (seriously, just give me the IV already)
-How much I hate running
-How amazing I feel AFTER I run, which is why I keep trying it
Plus about 1,000 other things depending on the time of day.
- You know where that "Vitamin E" line comes from and can respond with a line of your own.
- You're making a short film about beards and want to film a close up of mine. This is seriously a thing that has happened to me before.
- The ice stone has melted!

City Scoop: Philadelphia

Mack Stulb
LF Driscoll Co.
Stulb, the General Building Contractors Association's 2014 chairman of the board, says the construction market is heating up for contractors in the Philadelphia area. He says many developers are getting more active, especially in the multifamily sector. "A lot of these are sizable mid-rise or high-rise projects," he adds.
With the pickup in activity, Stulb says contractors are seeing increased competition for project managers and project engineers. Subcontractor capacity also could become an issue as more large projects break ground.

if you are repairing seam splits, id recommend neoprene cement or "Amazing Goop". For liquid taping, try using "Plasti-Dip". Get the kind in the tall jar, not the spray. Just dunk a brush in there and paint it on. Make sure you mix it up well first, and consider doing more than one coat. It comes in all colors including clear, but black will look best on most suits.

Rapper Rhymes About Andre The Giant vs. Daniel Bryan; Hall's Return To Canada
-Detroit-based hip-hop artist Jon Connor referenced WWE in his BET Awards "cypher" on Tuesday. During his freestyle rhyme, Connor dropped a line about a hypothetical match between WWE Hall Of Famer Andre The Giant and current WWE Superstar Daniel Bryan. The context in which he used the rhyme was basically to point out the difference in their physical sizes. You can check out the video online if interested at HipHopDX.com.

Throughout his life, Finbar O'Neill has always put 100% into everything he has attempted. Whether it is hunting, supporting his favorite sports teams, or at work, Finbar is always trying his hardest and doing everything he can to make sure that he is able to succeed. Finbar decided to make real estate development his career after studying construction technology while at Dungannon Technical College in Ireland. He has supplemented his initial education by studying project management systems since then and continues to use computers to enhance his education and to train in said project management systems.
Finbar O'Neill and the O'Neill Group
When Finbar O'Neill emigrated to the United States of America he knew that he wanted to work in the real estate and construction business. Finbar wanted to build quality homes for people that would not only serve the buyers needs, but would also serve to help the community by increasing overall property values and by adding a sense of beauty to the community. In the year 2000 Finbar started the company that would set him on the path to success, The O'Neill Group based in Hackensack, New Jersey. The O'Neill Group's primary objective is to acquire properties and bring added value to properties to achieve their highest and best use. Finbar has completed projects around the world and is committed to excellence in the construction industry.
As Director of Operations, Finbar O'Neill is in charge of overseeing all construction and development for the O'Neill Group. He manages the due diligence, the acquisitions, the designs, the financing, approving, and the marketing for all development projects the O'Neill Group undertakes. Since the O'Neill group deals with properties ranging from large-scale condominiums to small-scale single family homes, Finbar is experienced in all types of real estate development for a variety of different structures and clients.
Finbar O'Neill and the O'Neill Group have been in charge of developing properties of all sizes. One of the most impressive works that they have completed is a 150,000 square foot luxury condo based in East Orange, NJ. This project included extensive site work, a redesign, and paving of the parking area. All units have high-end finishes including hardwood floors throughout with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. Another example of the work that the O'Neill Group does can be seen in Wappinger Falls. The O'Neill Group was called in to build 24 rental townhouses in a newly constructed cul-de-sac. Finbar was in charge of the 12 two-bedroom and 12 3-bedroom houses and succeeded spectacularly.

Some quotes from the Daily Herald:
"To the fans, I generally had a great time being here," Gordon said in a phone interview. "For my true fans, I feel bad for them. The longtime fans of the Chicago Bulls - I just felt like they're being cheated.
"Not with me, but just things that happened in the past. I feel like the fans deserve a lot better."
"I'm finally happy to be a part of an organization that feels the same way I do about basketball," Gordon said. "We just talked about what this organization is about and what kind of culture he (Dumars) is building in Detroit and what his goals are, as far as trying to compete for a championship every single year.
"Being a good team is not enough. Their goal is to win a championship. To me, that's everything I wanted to hear from a GM. It was easy to sell me on that. I won in high school; I won in college. My basketball legacy won't be complete unless I win an NBA ring."
"The Bulls never made an offer," Gordon said. "We were all ears, my agent (Raymond Brothers) and myself.
"Even after I signed the one-year deal and the things that happened the last two summers, not once did we turn out backs on the Bulls. I said that I'd still be willing to listen to the Bulls and work something out.
"They didn't even make an offer to me. That was kind of surprising, but I guess it's part of the way they do business. I'm moving on, and I'm happy with my decision."
"To all the true Chicago Bulls fans, it's been great," he added. "I loved playing here; it's one of the greatest sports cities in the world. It was a great time. But it's time for me to move on."
Cleary there is a great deal of bitterness with Gordon on his way out the door. We don't know what went on behind the scenes, but I have to get a good chuckle whenever an athlete pulls out the "this franchise wants to win and that's what I'm about" schtick vs his old franchise whom also wants to win but doesn't want to pay him as much.
It came down to money, pure and simple, the Bulls made no offer, because they knew they wouldn't touch the Pistons' offer. The whole winning mentality thing is just laughable. The Pistons are no where near winning and have a lesser chance than the Bulls of going in that direction with no clear stars to build around and no future flexibility or high draft picks coming.

Cat Island Overview
Untainted by tourism, Cat Island is the sixth-largest island in The Bahamas. The fishhook-shaped island; is some 48 miles long and 1 to 4 miles wide, and lies about 325 miles southeast of Miami. Named after the pirate Arthur Catt, it's located near the Tropic of Cancer, between Eleuthera and Long Island. It has one of the best climates in The Bahamas, with temperatures in the high 60s during the short winters, rising to the mid-80s in summer, with trade winds making the place even more comfortable. With its pristine virgin beaches, Cat Island is one of the most beautiful islands in The Bahamas, and it is so little visited that it's inexpensive and still feels undiscovered. Many local historians claim that Cat Island residents were the first to see Columbus. The great explorer himself was believed by some to have been welcomed here by the peaceful Arawaks. Beautiful beaches offer an array of water sports. Visitors can go swimming or snorkeling at several places.

About: Sarah and I love traveling and have been visiting Cat Island for 23 years. I grew up exploring the Out Islands of the Bahamas by boat, and have ventured throughout the islands regularly since 1967. We bought this spectacular beachfront property in the late 1990's, and built the 'Boathouse' in January 2007. We moved back to the USA 7 years ago after living 3+ years in Costa Rica and another 3 years living in Mexico. Both our boys are grown; our youngest (marine biologist) is engaged in Sustainable Fisheries in Portland, Maine, and the oldest is in International Business Development living in California.
Why Cat Island, Bahamas:
Cat Island is truly an unspoiled paradise. The people are wonderful and still wave to everyone as they pass. The Boathouse sits on a beautiful white sand beach with water clear as gin. The beach runs for 3 miles, but you can spend days without seeing another soul (read the guest comments). Snorkeling, scuba diving and 'bonefishing on the fly' , island exploring, beach combing, and sunbathing are among other favorites. Our property is 3 1/4 acres and is surrounded by water on 3 sides. You can launch the kayaks or the canoe behind the house on Pigeon Creek and paddle around to our beach on the ocean. Leslie Kennedy lives on-island and manages the house for us. She will greet you upon your arrival and familiarize you with the house. The Boathouse is professionally cleaned and maintained and Leslie is available to answer any questions you may have or provide assistance with anything you may need.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
The use of kayaks, canoe and beach cruiser bicycles are included with your stay at the Boathouse. There are 2 single kayaks and a tandem to choose from (they are located either behind the house on the backbay, or on the ocean side tied up at PCBC). The bicycles are located in our garage.You can bike for miles on the sea road or ride on the main road to Bennett Harbor for lunch at Derrick's Conch Shack or Sammy T's. 3-4 times/week Pigeon Cay Beach Club serves dinner beachside(the small club has only 7 rooms, and is a 5 minute stroll up our beach). All Boathouse guests are invited and have full signing privileges for dinner, drinks, and wine. There is also a beachside honor bar at PCBC which is fully stocked with cold beer, wine, and your favorite cocktails. There is no need to carry cash or drive home when dining and/or enjoying a cocktail up the beach at PCBC. We enjoy cooking and have equipped the Boathouse with a Jenn Air Convection oven/microwave, Jenn-Air Stovetop, Ice maker, and a 36,000 BTU Stainless Weber. There is Calphalon cookware, a Waring commercial blender, and an ice cream/sorbet maker. There are 12 foot decks which encircle the entire house perfect for reading, relaxing, cocktails, or just taking in the incredible views. There is a screened area of the deck for dining, reading, or a glass of wine. Ceiling fans are installed throughout the house and on the decks (11 in total). Although rarely needed, the house is also fully air conditioned. The Boathouse has high speed wireless internet included.

Fire Inspector Jack Wilkson agreed, adding that since a rag instead of a gas cap was covering the truck's gasoline tank, fume exhausts combined with heat was the "probable cause" of the explosion.

Leftists' murders spark violence in El Salvador SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (AP) -Gunbattles erupted early Saturday in this tense city as supporters mourned six leftist leaders they claim were kidnapped and assassinated by government troops. Twenty people were reported killed in the new surge of violence. Police said the latest victims were all killed in overnight gunfights and other assaults. An estimated 8,500 people, mostly civilians, have been killed this year in the struggle for power between left- and right-wing extremists. Witnesses said army patrols and left-wing guerrilla bands fought at least nine gunfights in poorer districts of San Salvador. A brief gunfight at midday caused panic among the hundreds of people milling about the plaza outside the Metropolitan Cathedral. The bodies of the six slain leaders had been placed there, guarded by armed leftists, until a bomb exploded outside the church Friday night, injuring nine. The bodies were secretly removed to a funeral home in a poor neighborhood following Hie blast and would be returned to the cathedral at a later tune, Roman Catholic church sources said. Police said they had no immediate reports of casualties in the cathedral area gunfight. More than 300 leftist youths wearing red and black bandana handkerchiefs across their faces surrounded the cathedral, draped large banners across the entrance and See KL SALVADOR, Page IGA LORA plans rate increase to pay for construction By HENRY KRAUSSE Staff writer Lower Colorado River Authority has announced electric rate increases for its wholesale customers, including a 6.56 percent boost for New Braunfels Utilities, effective Dec. 5. Utilities Manager Bob Sohn said Friday the increase would be applied to kilowatt hours on electric users' monthly bills, but would not affect the "fuel cost" portion of the bill. "Bills are made up of two components, the energy part and the fuel cost. The average bill is 50 to 60 percent fuel cost, so if we raise half of your bill by 6.56 percent, then we have effectively raised the whole bill by about 3 or 4 percent." The LCRA has justified the rate increase by pointing to its $50 million construction program, and the Wholesale Power Group, an organization of LCRA customers to which Utilities belongs, has tentatively agreed to it, Sohn said. "They are undertaking a large construction effort costing $50 million, ultimately $60 million. This is the amount it's going to take to finance those bonds. The rate increase is for debt service coverage," he explained. The group, composed of 41 wholesale power customers, including 23 municipally-owned utilities, has hired an attorney and a rate consultant to look out for its interests. As an organization, it has considerable leverage in dealing with LCRA, Sohn said. "Prior to 1978, when we banded together, we had very little clout. In 1976 they (LCRA) decided they were going to finance construction just with rate increases," Sohn said. The customers decided to form a group, and went before the Public Utilities Commission to fight the increases. "It got kinda sticky — it really gave them a fit. In 1978, they decided that, rather than fight, it would be easier to cooperate. "We can understand their need for these increases. Now, they've learned their lesson. The minute they start talking about an increase they bring us into it, open their books to us." Sohn said the whosesale customers agreed the need for the money is real, and "the way they want to finance it is reasonable." The rate increases will be different for each power customer, and are based on kilowatt demand and consumption. For example, the Guadalupe Valley Electric Coop's rate increase will be 5.96 percent, the City of Seguin will experience a 4.85 percent hike. The largest increase, 9.96 percent, will be assumed by Pedernales Electric Coop. A provision in the city's proposed new electric ordinance permits LCRA to adjust the power cost. The ordinance, which will take passage of one more reading by City Council before it becomes law, states: "The New Braunfels Utilities shall add or subtract any power cost adjustment received from supplier (LCRA) to customer billings, uniformly applied on a kilowatt-hour basis, such adjustment becoming effective immediately upon receipt of supplier billings, and official notification to the Utilities Board of Trustees and the New Braunfels City Council." The biggest Utilities customers pay proportionately less for power rates than for fuel costs. The average homeowner pays less for fuel costs than energy, and it is energy that the rate increase is applied to. "The more fuel you use, the more it costs you. But as you use more kilowatt hours, the energy cost part comes down. The fuel costs for most large, commercial users is more than the energy part of their bills, and for residential users the opposite is usually true. "There's a point where both costs are about equal," Sohn said. Foreign languages Interest high locally, despite de-emphasis elsewhere Truck explosion blocks both lanes of interstate By JACQUELINE SMITH Staff writer For various reasons, it has been said that nationwide foreign language is becoming less attractive to high school students as a subject. Unlike many years ago when such languages as Spanish, German, French, not to mention Latin, were required courses for high school students, nowadays these languages are offered as an "elective" class — one the student does not have to take. In addition, several of the larger colleges and universities have either weakened or dropped their foreign language requirements altogether. Instead of requiring students to complete so many college-credit hours of foreign language in order to graduate, many larger schools now allow students to substitute a group of other classes for this requirement. "There are ways to get around it (the foreign language requirement)," said Christine Taylor, who has taught German at Canyon High since 1976. "The U.S. is undernourished in foreign language compared to other countries according to the President's Council. We rely on interpreters to do our business abroad for us. There should be more people that speak foreign languages," she said. The universities and colleges are getting so big that they've got to keep their enrollment up and to do this, they've dropped their language requirements, Taylor said. "Universities are hurting. They need larger enrollments and so they've made it easier to get in." Although it is not a required subject at New Braunfels, Canyon or Smithson Valley high schools, foreign language seems to be holding its own, according to local teachers. And even though language is not a required subject, most teachers agree that their class size has increased over the years. Because language is taken as an elective class, one that is not needed in order to graduate, students seem to be motivated to learn, said Berino Engel, who has taught German at New Braunfels High School for eight years. With more than IOO students enrolled in his classes this,year, Jj^el said the "size of the classes" proves that students "Still have an quite an interest in learning" the language. So why do students pick a class in foreign language over other courses? Some of the reasons are as simple as hearing from other students that the teacher who teaches a particular foreign language class is a "good teacher," Taylor said. Another attraction to learning a second language is because it is a prerequisite to have had the first class of a language before becoming a member of the Spanish, German or French club. And such things as students organizing a tour of Europe, state conventions, Christmas carolling, parties, field trips and other activities planned for foreign language club members attract students into joining these clubs and in See LANGUAGES, Page IGA Rocket's red glare New Braunfels firefighters carefully rummage through the charred cases of fireworks that exploded into flames in the back of a rented truck traveling southbound on IH 35. No one was injured in Saturday's incident; however $10,000 worth of fireworks may be destroyed. The probable cause of the fire was the combination of exhaust heat and the accumulation of fuel vapors. The northbound and southbound lanes of IH-35 in north New Braunfels were closed for approximately an hour Saturday while firefighters worked to extinguish a fireworks explosion in a truck The incident occurred at approximately 3:30 p.m., when Guadalupe Amador and Jesus Mireles of Austin heard a noise like a flat tire and drove their rented truck to the side of the road. The men were transporting $10,500 worth of fireworks from Austin to Rio Grande City. The driver of the truck saw said he saw smoke, and got out of the car to investigate the rear of the truck. When he opened the rear door and saw more smoke, he and the passenger ran from the vehicle. The men said motorists offered to help them put out the fire with fire extinguishers. New Braunfels firefighters, Department of Public Safety troopers, Sheriff's deputies and police patrolmen arrived at the scene shortly before 4 p.m. While troopers closed both lanes of IH-35, firefighter Bob Reed opened the rear door of tile truck to extinguish the fire. When Reed opened the door, the truck exploded, knocking Reed and other firefighters down. The explosion singed his facial hair, Reed said. ;

My first phallic dildo was a purchase I instantly regretted: a gelatinous, luminescent purple jelly monstrosity with an unforgiving rock hard surface and a frighteningly sculpted set of veins. Before that, I owned an original Lelo Gigi (which still works!) and a selection of garden variety pastel classic vibrators – an oversize strawberry ice cream pink one with ridges, a demure looking lilac thing that made so much noise that I was only able to use it maybe three times before returning it, and a curvy white and mint plastic vibrator that managed to be the wrong shape for basically everything. I seriously wish someone had just told me to buy an alex.
The Alex by bs atelier is 6 inches of gently curved silicone with a slim shaft measuring 3.5 inches around the base, widening to 4 and a half inches at the lovely bean-shaped tip. Bs' silicone is one of my favourites: soft and supple, it has a satin-y finish, glides freely and can be squished and bent while still keeping that keen upward curve. It's also available in a variety of vibrant colours, mine being the terracotta orange variant but also coming in paint splatter and heart print (heart eyes forevaaaaaaah).

Silent Drive, or: The Second Sestina Ever
We were studying Bishop's "Sestina" in school, and, after our teacher strongly doubted the ability of any of her students to use such a precise poetic form, I went home and wrote this and gave it to her the following morning (so cheeky).
Though the poem is quite abstract, there is a structured metaphorical path that I can explain if I wish, though I would prefer if you tried to interpret it for yourself first :)
Also, please note that this is a first draft. If I was to rewrite it, I would
It is almost too late when he sees the girl
scurrying into the road, holding a crab.
- Otherwise, the road is all clear –
He halts with a lurch (a break for his watch);
the girl sits the crab down on the layer of sand
and scurries back down to the sea.
He looks as she follows the path to the sea,
and glances both ways: the road is so clear.
- For hours, all he has heard is the tick of his watch –
The car still in the road, he steps out onto the sand,
and thinks of the could-be-dead girl.
He shuts the car door, and spots the wet crab.
The flesh-pink shell of the tiny crab
is just like the skin of the girl,
though the shell's pink glaze is overwhelmingly clear,
a liquid pink, like a cool evening sea.
The man cuffs a wrist with his worn wrist-watch,
and follows the crab on the sand.
The claws of the crab pierce holes in the sand
and droplets from when it was last in the sea
drip down and make the holes larger, as if the little girl
stopped and strategically poked at the clear
beds of potential glass with her wee fingertips. The crab
struts on, each step in sync with the tick of the watch,
as if the delicate tock of the watch
is loud enough for the crab
to hear. Together, they pass the dead sand
dunes and trundle to the tips of the sea,
the edge of the ocean. He glances around for the girl,
but she isn't here. No-one's here. The beach is completely silent and completely clear.
And it's now that he sees that his mind has been clear
and so quickly his thoughts turn the sea
broken black and so startled by fear his wrist-watch
cracks like mad and as fast as it came the pink crab
disappears as a hard wind whips in a tornado of sand
and he whips round the orbit of a distant girl.
In time, he will wake with his face in the sand,
and his watch, clear of sound, at the edge of the sea,
and no more will he see the crab or the girl.

It's hard to ask, "What can I expect in the final stages of lung cancer?" I agonized before asking this question of my father's oncologist. Yet many of us want some idea of what to expect at this stage of the journey for our loved one or for ourselves.

We are all different. Some people will have pain some won't. Some people will need oxygen to control shortness of breath; others may breathe comfortably on room air. Some people decline rapidly at the end of their journey with cancer, and others seem to live on despite all odds.

Just as physical symptoms in the final stages of lung cancer vary for different people, our loved one's emotional response is hard to predict. Some people hold on, wanting to "fight" their cancer to the end. Others appear to accept death more readily. But despite our differences, there are common changes that occur for many people.

What will happen in the end stages, and how do people die from lung cancer?

Physical Changes

Physical changes during the final stages of lung cancer can be related to the tumor in the lungs, the spread of cancer to other parts of the body, or due to the terminal stages of cancer in general. By definition, the final stage of lung cancer implies that treatment options have been exhausted; a cure is not possible. But palliative treatments, treatments used to minimize symptoms or improve comfort, may still be used. If you are enrolled in hospice, you may be given a hospice comfort kit which has supplies which can help with many of the symptoms at the end of life. Some common physical changes include:

Fluid build-up around the lungs
Fluid containing cancer cells (malignant pleural effusion) may build up in the space surrounding the lungs, resulting in shortness of breath. To improve breathing and make someone more comfortable, physicians often drain this fluid. If the fluid continues to build up, a procedure called pleurodesis may be recommended to prevent fluid from accumulating again, or a shunt may be placed so that you or a loved one are able to drain the fluid at home. Having a shunt which you need to drain may sound frightening, but this procedure is used often for those with lung cancer and can do a lot to ease shortness of breath due to repeated build up of fluid around the lungs near the end of life.

Obstruction or bleeding from the large airways
With lung cancers that grow near the airways, the spread of tumor into the airway can cause obstruction and bleeding. Doctors may recommend a procedure or radiation to decrease the obstruction or control bleeding.

Symptoms due to brain metastases
When lung cancer spreads to the brain, people may experience headaches, seizures, and other neurological symptoms like weakness or speech problems. Radiation therapy may be recommended to slow the growth of these tumors and ease symptoms.

Symptoms of terminal cancer
Profound fatigue is very common in the late stages of lung cancer. Weight loss is also almost universal, and it occurs even when people are eating a diet with adequate calories. Cancer cachexia, a syndrome including unintentional weight loss and muscle wasting, is very common in the later stages of cancer.

Pain  Many people are concerned about physical changes at the end of life, asking the question, "Is death painful?" There is not necessarily pain at the end of life, and this varies tremendously among different people. When lung cancer spreads to bones in the chest and spine, there are many options for pain control, including radiation therapy and pain medications.

Emotional Changes

Beginning in the last few months before death, your loved one may begin to withdraw and appear less interested in visiting with family and friends. Activities that once excited him may no longer capture his interest. He may appear lost in thought, and as one woman I met remarked about her husband in the late stages of lung cancer, appear to "have one foot in the next world." He may begin to sleep a lot and become irritable when fatigue and limitations interfere with his ability to care for himself as he did in the past. Having a support system and taking care of yourself is very important at this stage of the journey, both for your own well-being and so you can support your loved one with cancer as well as possible.

Spiritual Changes

It's very common near the end of life for people to talk about seeing those who have died before or even seeing heaven. This happens often whether someone has been religious or not. Sometimes family members may mistake these "events" as delirium and terminal restlessness, which can be very frustrating for those who are dying. The same may occur when a dying person appears to have an awareness that death is near. It's important to talk gently to your dying loved one, and instead of "correcting" her comments, provide comfort that she is not alone in the life she is still living here.

The Final Days

During the final days, your loved one may begin a phase known as "active dying." Rather than an event in which the body simply turns off, researchers now believe that dying is an active process the body is designed to go through. Physical signs you may notice in these last days include:

The skin becomes cool as body temperature lowers; mottling (bluish, blotchy patches) occurs.

Eating and drinking stops, but there is no sense of hunger or thirst.

Breathing becomes irregular. Rapid, deep breaths may alternate with periods of very shallow breathing (Cheyne-stokes respirations). A gurgling sound (the death rattle) may occur due to build up of secretions in the back of the throat.

Perspiration increases and the skin can feel wet and clammy.

Emotionally, your loved one may become agitated, picking at the sheets or clothing. Confusion and hallucinations are common, and those who are actively dying often speak of seeing loved ones who have gone before. In the last few days, she may have a surge of energy, sitting up if she has been bedridden, or eating a full meal after eating little for days. This can be heart wrenching if family members misinterpret this as a sign that their loved one is getting better. Most likely, it is the body's way of allowing a dying person a last chance to say goodbye. As the dying process progresses, she will stop communicating and enter a deep sleep. Even if she does not appear to hear you or know you are present, continue to express your love. It is felt that hearing is one of the final senses to leave in the dying process.

The Death

As dying continues, your loved one will stop breathing and her heart will cease to beat. Some people claim they have known the moment their loved one left them; they have had a vision or a physical sensation of their loved one departing. Others find comfort in staying near their loved one's body as it becomes cooler, finding it easier to let go thereafter. If your loved one is dying at home, check with your hospice nurse or physician ahead of time to know what procedure you should follow after the death. In most cases, family members are allowed to spend time mourning and saying goodbye to their loved one before the funeral home is called.

For Loved Ones

Caring for a dying loved can at the same time be the most difficult and most rewarding thing you have ever done. It may feel selfish at times, but make sure to take care of yourself during this time. Keep in mind that grieving often begins before a loved one dies - something called anticipatory grief - and can be lonely as others around you may not recognize this early grief.

When your loved one passes, you may find yourself in a state of shock. What comes next? If you are connected with hospice your hospice team can help you with the next steps, or follow this checklist for responsibilities for survivors after death.

Perspectives on Embodiment: The Intersections of Nature and Culture
€ 151,99
Lieferbar innert 2 Wochen
April 1999
Beschreibung"Perspectives on Embodiment" offers multiple ways of conceptualizing human corporeality. These essays collectively defy arbitrary distinctions between nature and culture and reveal the complex ways in which nature and culture interact to produce embodied subjects.
A central premise of this collection is that a variety of perspectives is needed to illuminate the fluid, ever-changing features of human corporeality. This book not only explores what it means to be an embodied subject, but also encourages speculation about our future bodily incarnations.
PortraitGail Weiss is Associate Professor of Philosophy and the Ph.D. program in the Human Sciences at The George Washington University. She is the author of Body Images (Routledge 1998). Honi Fern Haber was Associate Professor of Philosophy at University of Colorado, Denver. She is the author of Beyond Postmodern Politics (Routledge 1994). She died in 1995.
Pressestimmen"This impressive group of philosophers have come together across the continental/analytic divide to reconceptualize the body in relation to philosophy. When we view the body as the subject of perception and not just the object, as Gail Weiss points out, it becomes essential to reconceptualize many of the fundamental concepts used in philosophies of action, of mind, and of consciousness. We will need to reconceptualize the cognitive sciences, given that perception is structured by the body as a whole rather than an abstracted perceptual organ. These essays provide an excellent entree into this exciting new area of philosophical discussion

My title says it all.
When we saw this microwave sitting on the shelves for 50 dollars, it should have been a clue. They were all on one shelf, FULL, and waiting for the next sucker to pick them up. It was too good to be true and not even a year from the date, ours decided to go on strike this very night. At first we were just fine with it. Food was hot, quick to heat, and only a minor adjustment from our Panasonic 1200 Watt to this 900 Watt thing.
Tonight, I guess this microwave just had enough. The manual did not help. Customer service did not help and neither did the manufacturing website. We are stuck until further notice. If you want a temporary product, this is great. But if you're in a house like mine--full of coffee drinkers, soup eaters, and kids who need hot cereal before school, I suggest you do NOT purchase this machine. Hamilton Beach is better known for their blenders and roasters and steamers. This microwave was a mistake. On the day before it's demise, it made a weird "beeeep" noise and I guess that was its protest. A day later, entering my time to heat up got nothing but two swift beeps and no action. I am not pleased.
We recerived this as house warming gift from my parents. This is the biggest pile of GARBAGE out there. The first died in a matter of weeks. Returned it for the same item. The second? Lasted less than a WEEK. I will be returning this to the store and either getting store credit or a different model. It's NOT worth the time/hassle no matter HOW inexpensive it is.
Bought this microwave because of the compact size and 900 watts. Thought it would be comparable to my older Sharp Carousel. What a joke! About the only thing it's good for is heating a cup of liquid. Can't make baked potatoes, they get hard and burn, can't heat frozen sandwiches for the same reason. I am bringing the Sharp back up from the basement. By the way, the Sharp is 17 years old and still looks and works great. I just wanted some more counter space in my new house. You get what you pay for.
The features of this product surpassed my expectations. At 900 watts of power, generally being used to reheat as opposed to preparing foods it is an excellent product that is able to defrost, heat in a minimal amount of time and with its many pre-settings is convenient for use. The outer finish is easy to clean and keep degreased with frequent use.
I'm a college student and don't have much money to spend on these kinds of things. I didn't expect much from this microwave considering it's less than $50. I've had it about a week, and so far it does its job as well as you can expect for a bottom of the line microwave. It heats up ramen and leftover pizza. It's just the right size, too. It doesn't take up a ton of room but you can still fit a large dinner plate in it.
The only complaint I have so far is that it doesn't have an "add" button that will add a minute or 30 seconds to the already running time. That's easy enough to work around though.
Came online to read the reviews on this after buying from my store. All the reviews seem bad, which surprises me. Well, let's start.
First, I should start by saying I've only had this for a few days. I'll change this if something goes bad like the rest. But SO FAR the microwave is working great, better than the one i replaced. The only problem I've noticed is that the frozen burritos I've microwaved in it tend to turn out soggy if I don't pay attention to them and flip them over part way. Other than that, it cooks faster, it looks nicer, overall, I like it so far for $50. If you have a issue setting a timer, press the timer button, put in the time, press the timer button again, and then push start. If you like to leave the microwave unplugged like I do to save energy, just press "reset" before you try to cook anything, because it insists you set the time lol...if you press "reset", it'll let you cook without setting the clock ^-^ (also, if you set a timer, the timer will disappear while it's counting down, that doesn't mean it's stopped, it's still counting down, if you press "start" it'll show you how long it has left).
Not sure what happened with the other person not being able to make it cook, but my guess is they couldn't figure out how to make it let them get past setting the clock :P Well, if you run into the same problem as them, now you know how to fix it~
I purchased this 1/14/11.. I have had not 1 problem with it. I got the black one to go with my blk Hamilton beach toaster oven. I have always used Hamilton Beach appliances. in my opinion they make a durable product... to heat water i set @1:30 not 2 min.and popcorn @2:5 not 3 min. ...it is very hot...i have the 900 watt one...even with frozen food I set according to box instructions and i have to reduce the time by 1 minute...I also use the quick cook settings on occasion and it works every time...I get just what i expected for the price and more..it does great baked potatoes..
luv it
This microwave oven is much more than I expected. The size and wattage are exactly what I needed and the the appearance is very becoming in my kitchen. The pull door in stead of push button door, is so much easier as I have arthritis. The amount of cooking options totally happily surprised me and having color option, I was able to match it with my other appliances. I love my Hamilton Beach 0.9 cu ft Microwave Oven.
Had this microwave for probably a year now, maybe a bit longer, it made a strange noise then smelled like it was on fire (it wasnt of course) but I unplugged it and wont use it again, just have to get a new one, will make sure its not this brand..
i brought it, and the same day i plugged it in.. and tried to cook something it would work. i enter the minutes i wanted and pressed start, and all it did was beep once, but it didn't start. then i tried to press the pizza button and still nothing.. Ive had three people re-read the instruction and still nothing.. its not worth the buy especially since u cant cook in it! i am returning it today.
bought new at Walmart and after 8 months it just quit. It made a burned electrical smell, won't respond to the buttons even after waiting 30 seconds with the plug pulled as recommended by the recording from Hamilton Beach. Complete garbage, no quality !
I have no idea what everyone is "beefing" about, but I simply love this little microwave. I have owned it for more than one year and have had not one single problem. It looks fantastic. I only wish that it came with an inside light that went on when the door was open. Other than that, it was just what I was looking for, My previous one was bought from Costco. I paid over $100 for it. It was stainless steel but did not last long. I was looking for a small one and really did not even think about the price. I merely wanted a small black microwave that looked good. I thought that this was the best looking one around. I never even read the negative reviews. Now, I am so glad that I didn't because I would have passed up a phenomenal little bargain. I bought it for looks alone. I simply love it and it operates like a champ. SUZI Q
I've had this microwave about 3 years and have loved it. It is 900 watts so it has as much power as one of those giant behemoth sized microwaves yet it is compact. The turntable is just large enough so that microwave popcorn bags don't get stuck, so there's really nothing you can't do with it that you could with a larger one. I've cooked baked potatoes and about anything else you can think of you could cook in a microwave and they come out amazing. Overall, I have no complaints about this microwave.
If you don't have a lot of counter space, but you need a microwave that can still boil a cup of water or reheat pizza in a reasonable amount of time, this is the microwave for you. It has all the usual functions of a larger, more expensive microwave, such as defrost, popcorn etc.
I purchased this product 8 months ago. It no longer heats food. I spoke to a repairman and said to purchase a new one.
Do Not Buy this!~:-(
No add minute option. LED display is little shacking and not stable
Good small microwave. Heats food in no time. Doesn't take up too much space.
I thought this was a great microwave and bragged it up to my girlfriend who always seemed to over-cook food in it. I kept telling her it was more powerful than hers at home, and then I was surprised to find out it was only 900 watts. That being said, I have to advise against this product due to the unreliability of the door hooks. One fell off last night and the oven shut completely down...no way, no how was it ever going to light up again. Such a shame to have a nice machine take a dive for such a small piece of plastic.
Fits dinner plates fine and heats up very fast (2 minutes to reheat refrigerated food, depending on the food of course). Nice functions and features, child lock and it beeps a few times after it finishes to remind you your food is ready.

By Susan Haigh, Associated Press Writer
HARTFORD, Conn. Hartford's latest measure aimed at stemming gang violence is being criticized by civil libertarians.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Connecticut was mulling whether to file a legal challenge against the city's monthlong 9 p.m. juvenile curfew scheduled to begin Thursday.
ACLU staff attorney David McGuire said juvenile curfews violate the fundamental rights of innocent people. They place an entire demographic "under house arrest for the inappropriate actions of a few," he said.
Hartford attorney Jon Schoenhorn, who successfully challenged a similar curfew in Vernon, Conn., with the ACLU in 2003, said Hartford's curfew ordinance is unconstitutional and the city is blatantly violating the civil rights of minors.
"I can't believe they'd be that stupid to try and dust off a statute. It's sort of like trying to prosecute people for adultery or something," he said. "It's been fully litigated and they can't do it. That's all there is."
City officials announced the curfew Monday after a spate of violence including a weekend shooting that left one man dead and six young people wounded.
"We must do this because we cannot and will not tolerate innocent people, especially children, to be victims," Mayor Eddie Perez said.
The shooting erupted Saturday evening after the annual West Indian Day parade in the city's North End. Police said 21-year-old Ezekiel Roberts was killed, a 7-year-old boy was shot in the head and a 15-month-old was shot in the left leg. Four teens also were shot.
Roberts was affiliated with local gangs and was the intended target of the shooting, police told The Hartford Courant. No arrests had been made. There were two other shootings in the city, resulting in four other shooting victims.
The violence prompted Perez and Police Chief Daryl K. Roberts to announce several new public safety measures on Monday, including the beefed-up curfew.
It will run for 30 days begins Thursday, Perez said. No one under 18 will be allowed on the streets after 9 p.m. without a parent or guardian, and violators will be taken to one of two locations where they will be kept until their parents or guardians pick them up.
Perez said first-time offenders will receive a warning. Second-time offenders will face a fine and must appear in community court.
Hartford's regular curfew allows police to only issue citations to anyone younger than 18 on the streets after 9 p.m., according to the city's Web site. Many U.S. cities have permanent curfews, but they often are less restrictive than Hartford's temporary measure.
Perez said the city's curfew ordinance has been in place since 1977 but there hasn't been a need to enforce it until now. Much of the past violence, he said, was isolated, with specific individuals targeted.
"This is not something we take likely, but given the incident of this weekend, we need to take firm action and this is the kind of action that's required in order to ensure the safety of our residents," he said. "But this is aimed at helping young people in our city. This is not an attempt to be punitive."
Hartford officials said they will be forming a special team with state prosecutors to sharpen authorities' focus on solving shootings, punishing shooters and deterring such crimes.
Perez, himself a former gang member, said the city will be asking the state to increase supervision of people on probation and creating a "Most Watched List" of suspects wanted for crimes or known to be associated with illegal activities.
Rep. Kenneth Green, a Hartford Democrat who marched in Saturday's parade, said he hopes the shootings will renew efforts to address the underlying causes of the violence, such as joblessness, lack of parental oversight and anger management issues among youths.
"It's a bigger picture than just a curfew," he said.
Hartford officials have been struggling to curb violence in the city of 125,000. State troopers are continuing to patrol city streets with local police.
In June, the city's former deputy mayor was beaten and robbed while walking to breakfast, and a surveillance camera recorded cars zooming around a 78-year-old pedestrian who was laying helpless in the street after being struck by a speeding car.
No arrests have been made in those incidents, which prompted Chief Roberts to suggest that the city lost its moral compass.

Iowa Power Outage Allows for Unique Web Host Comparison
Recently in Iowa, a major and unexpected power outage allowed for a unique opportunity: The chance to compare web hosting capabilities for one savvy entrepreneur who wanted to see exactly how different hosts stacked up during crunch time. Ellen Rollenhagen is an Iowa-based entrepreneur who knows how important securing good web hosting is, but it's pretty challenging to see just how service-oriented hosts are unless they're in the midst of an emergency. Her company manages websites for a variety of clients. Rollenhagen notes that, "Although relatively rare, these outages have a serious effect on clients and can take down thousands of websites at once. Communication during this time can be critical."
As the owner/manager of a website that depends on "Host X" for uninterrupted service, you may lose business or even customers because of an outage—and the host's related lack of communication. This is true whether the bulk of your business comes locally (and in this example your online customers may know about the outage), or if your website visitors are located around the world. Imagine this: Your host's server goes down due to an outage and suddenly all your customers around the world can't access your website. They don't care why and they won't do their research to find out there's an outage. They'll simply take their business elsewhere.
This can devastate a startup or small business.
And the winner is…
Rollenhagen was careful not to actually name the two hosts, but she does note that Host A is well known. She reached out to Host A when the outage, and subsequent websites, went down but says they "did not admit there was a problem until we had submitted four separate support tickets for affected clients." She also points out that "simply" submitting those tickets took hours because she was put on hold every time she wanted to talk to one of the web host's techs. She tried email, too, but it took 72 hours to get a reply. "There was never any sort of public statement regarding the overall status of the issue," Rollenhagen says. "So we had to separately pursue tickets for each client, which means separate hours spent on hold for each status update."
As for Host B, they were proactive and created an alert page to let clients know what was happening throughout the outage. Clients had the option to be alerted via email or text, and the host also posted updates to Twitter. Rollenhagen kept score, and noted that Host B posted Twitter updates every hour. Sometimes there was little to report, but the host would simply post, "Still working to resolve the issue."
Holding the power
Since Host B was so proactive, Rollenhagen was able to keep her clients informed and updated. "When we reported specific client issues, they acknowledged the issues immediately and followed up to make sure they were resolved," she says. For this entrepreneur, it reinforced just how critical customer service is with a web hosting company. "Trust comes not from being perfect, but from being honest," she says.
