I always associate Memorial Day, more so than Labor Day, as a festivity ripe for handheld and portable food: sandwiches, picnic fare, burgers and grilled thingies. The spring-like weather rejuvenates, encouraging romping outdoors and simple food plans. Labor Day brings an end to summer, but it's usually hotter, with more substantial grilling feasts and a sense of finality: lazy days are gone, tomorrow it's back to school and crockpots.
So here's a collection of what I consider fine Memorial Day fare. Nothing too elaborate or contrived. Just tasty, satisfying, simple dishes to enjoy while you dream of summer days ahead.
Real Onion Dip
Bolognese Turkey Burgers
with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Green Olives
Grilled Portobello and Spinach Burgers
The FTBBLT: The Full-Tilt Boogie BLT
Potato Salad with Bacon and Tomatoes
Bread Salad
with Watermelon, Feta, and Red Onion
Black Thai Burgers with Gingered Shiitakes
Nonya-Style Grilled Chicken or Pork Satay
Soba Noodles with Grilled Vegetables
and Sesame-Ginger Dressing
Grilled Figs and Goat Cheese
Drizzled with Honey
Green Tea Ice Cream
Hazelnut Shortbread

Its not 5 hours away its 10 hours, but the results are worth it. The acid strippers can't get the rust out of the seams because acid desolves the rust gradually on contact, and it can't get in the seams very well.
And there is always the fear of left over acid residue, or the oil that is put on to protect the bare metal, which is not too big a deal on a fender or door, but a whole body could be a job getting rid of.
The alternative is electrolytic derusting. It doesn't harm the metal at all, leaves it looking like shiny new metal, and pulls almost all of the rust out of the seams.
I have used both types of cleaning methods and had several items done at this facility at different times and always had excellent results, not even any handling damage. I think you have made a good decission, just think for a minute---what is it worth to safely get rid of all the paint, undercoating, sealers, and dirt on a body, not to mention the rust.
For anyone that can afford it, this is a big time saver and allows you to see everything that needs attention. This may sound like advertizement and maybe it is, from a satisfied customer.

When I met my husband, I knew I would marry him. I was 18 and dating an abusive man. Somehow my husband knew I was being abused and was my friend. He gave me the courage to break up with the abusive boyfriend. We talked all the time, day and night- about the hard stuff.... marriage, divorce, religion, children, etc. i wanted no surprises and there havent been any. I knew him before we married even tho it was a short time.
Loved hanging out and just being together. I could see myself marrying him and for the first time I wanted children, with him. If it werent for him, I'n not sure I would've been able to get away from the abusive boyfriend.... Which made me love him even more.
We met at the end if May, got engaged in Aug and married in October (my parents, hard core baptists, made dating him very difficult so we got married. We just celebrated 18yrs in Oct. I have never doubted that he's my soul mate. He would do anything for me and he does. I got sick early on in our marriage and it hasnt phased him. He works a lot so I dont have too.
It hasnt been easy but we are in it together.

The plan for Cadel Evans in the Tour de France is now simple. When asked how he would approach Saturday's 42.5km stage 20 individual time trial the Australian replied, "Simply start as fast as possible, finish as fast as possible, hope it is fast enough."
Evans (BMC), a dual Tour runner-up, will go into Saturday's 'race against the clock' in third place overall and at 57 seconds to Luxembourg's Andy Schleck (LeOpard) as a result of Friday's 109.5km 19th stage from Modane to l'Alpe d'Huez that was won by Frenchman Pierre Rolland (Europcar).
In second position at 53 seconds is Schleck's elder brother Frank (LeOpard) who many thought was the dark horse to win this year.
This year's 3430km Tour that began on July 2 will now come down to Saturday's 42.5km time trial that is on the same course that Evans raced on in the recent Criterium du Dauphine. It will be man versus man, and man against the clock. And it will be a fitting way for this year's Tour to end.
For either rider, victory in the Tour after they have both placed second twice, will bring about a massive life change.
Likely to play a significant role in the outcome will be the recovery of Evans and the Schlecks - especially race leader Andy - after three days in the Alps which saw them ride like fury and light on the mountains roads with action that totally contrasted the comparatively dull racing in the Pyrenees.
Evans was swamped at the finish line on l'Alpe d'Huez after he took fourth place at 57 seconds to Rolland (Europcar) and in a group of six riders that included Italian Damiano Cunego (Lampre) and the Schleck brothers. Spanish duo of Alberto Contador (Saxo bank-SunGard) and Sammy Sanchez (Euskaltel-Euskadi) both finished ahead, but are still out of the top five.
The short 109.5km stage to l'Alpe d'Huez that included passages of the Col du Telegraph and Col du Galibier was always destined to be a hard fought affair. And the stage lived up to its billing with Contador lighting up life in the peloton with several attacks heading up the Telegraph, before he eventually found open space and charged ahead to set the scenario that would force Evans' great pursuit.
It was Andy Schleck, Evans and Thomas Voeckler (Europcar) who initially went with Contador and for a fleeting moment it looked like they would decide the Tour among themselves, but Evans was struck by mechanical problems and had to stop three times, eventually changing bikes. Evans joined the peloton that contained a number of BMC teammates who - with the Liquigas-Cannondale team of Ivan Basso - and worked to reel in Contador and Andy Schleck.
"The earlier attack of Contador, I was sort of expecting ... it was a really early, a bold move like what Andy did [on stage 18]," Evans said later.
Frustrating for Evans was the mechanical issue that forced him to stop, just as Contador and Schleck set off on their escapade.
"I was sitting well but I was feeling pretty average, but I think there was something wrong with my rear wheel that was slowing me down a bit," Evans said afterwards.
"It was rubbing on the frame I think. It takes a fair bit of wasted energy. I wasn't sure about it, but it felt like it and for that reason I changed bikes.
"But when they are going pretty fast in front and you have to stop three times the chances of getting back by yourself are pretty limited.
"But the team eventually came back and rode fantastic on the way up to the steeper slopes of the Galibier.
"When there was an acceleration it put me over the limit which seemed a bit strange, but then we eventually came back [to Contador and Andy Schleck with 25km to go]."
In the battle that unfolded between the favourites on the slopes of l'Alpe d'Huez, it was again Contador who lit up affairs. The defending champion realised that this was his last chance at winning a stage or gaining serious time for the overall classification.
After the Spaniard flew off again, compatriot and friend Sanchez soon joined him as did stage winner Rolland. Overnight race leader Voeckler who had only just rejoined the group after being dropped, was soon off the back again.
Andy Schleck and Evans were soon the only ones to ignite a pursuit that while failing to catch the leaders, at least set the battle lines for Saturday's time trial.
Evans, who was in a similar position in 2008 when he placed second overall and was eventually beaten by the Spaniard Carlos Sastre in the time trial, says: "Of course I would like to take more time going into the time trial. I would rather be in yellow with five minutes ..."

I'd decide real quick whether I'm saving their lives or preventing them from getting robbed.
This is a discussion on Home for the Holidays within the Carry & Defensive Scenarios forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; This may have an easy answer but... What if you are going back home for the holidays, are CCW and stop into an old gas ...
This may have an easy answer but...
What if you are going back home for the holidays, are CCW and stop into an old gas station you used to go to all the time when you lived there. When you are inside, looking at sodas and about to walk back to the counter to pay (and talk to the owners for a bit, who you know really well) and then pops in a guy with a gun pointed at the owners at the register. The BG doesn't see you and you could very well just be a good witness or just as well hide behind the racks of food, snacks and autosupplies. The people getting robbed are old friends, the BG threatens to kill them and you've got a CCW that could potentially save their lives and them from getting robbed.
What would you do?

In think that varies heavily on the state your in and whether or not a shooting in self-defense can be made for someone else.
I think I would stay someplace I can view the action and stay a little hidden. Gun is out and ready to go, though. I would take the shot if they try and jump the counter.

Personally, from civilian OR LEO perspective: standing by and watching an innocent person get killed? Not a chance in hell. The dirtbag comes in, announces a robbery, displays a gun, AND verbally threatens to kill someone? I will draw and fire and continue firing until the threat is no longer.
When you are truly transformed into a warrior and have truly invested yourself into warriorhood, you want to be there. You want to be able to make a difference.
From the essay "TRIBES" by Bill Whittle
Just as soon as the BG said he was going to kill and I saw his gun out. I would have to shoot him! I have the right to use deadly force to come to the aid of someone else that has the right to use deadly force. I would also believe that his threat to kill was extended to me as well. I was in fear for my life as well as the life of everyone in the store.
There are 10 types of people in the world:
Those who understand binary, and those that don't.
There's no way I'm making a whispered phone call to 911 while an armed BG is in the store with me! I have heard the store owners being threatened with death, and BG's got a gun pointed at them. That's all I need to know; I'm getting into this fight, even if the store owners are strangers to me. I'd move to a postion of cover, where I can shoot without threatening them with missed shots or overpenetrating shots, check around for BG's friends, then fire until BG's no longer in the fight. When he lowers his gun is when I cease fire.
Then, cover BG as I kick his gun out of reach, call 911 and report the armed robbery and shooting. I would keep covering the BG and watching for BG's friends until police arrive, then holster my gun as they drive up; they'll probably confiscate it in a few minutes.
My report to the police is "My name is .... I felt the lives of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and my own, were threatened so I fired in self defense until the threat was over. I want to cooperate with your investigation but will wait until after consulting an attorney before giving a full statement.
I will draw, take aim, fire and stop the threat to my friends. Then I'll use my handy cell phone to call the cavalry.
"There is no such thing as too much ammo. Unless you're swimming!"
I'd have to shoot too. I'm not going to wait until he decides to kill the clerk. If he threatens to kill a casheir that means he will have no problem killing me too, especially if he looks around and sees or hears me trying to call the cops.
Get a good line of fire and make those shots count and fast. Keep an eye on the windows and door for his driver(who could see you on a phone or with your gun out and blast you through the window)
Also not a good idea to yell "freeze!! put the gun down and your hands on your head." Because now the ball is in his court.
He can decide to shoot the clerk, take him hostage, "turn and burn" in your direction, etc...
"In those days, there was a lot more respect for other people and it showed in peoples values.... Today the word value means nothing more than something you get on the $1 menu at McDonald's." -BARK'N
This goes for my state (ohio), and, AFAIK, my state only.
IF, I can determine clearly, that the BG is threatening the clerk, has the means to carry out said threat, and, that the clerk hasn't escalated the situation, and, I think I have a clear backstop....
Draw and fire. No question. There is no way in hell, I am going to watch either a stranger, or, an 'old friend' be murdered, in cold blood, if I can help it.
The BG doesen't have to ACTUALLY KILL SOMEONE here, before I believe his threat. For me, pointing a gun at another human being, and articulating a threat, is enough.

This is a very difficult choice, and will likely not be cut and dry when the time comes to make it. However, I think anyone who chooses to carry a firearm for personal defense should think long and hard about this and set his own criteria for making this choice beforehand. If you dont, youll have a lot more to process in a very short time while youre in a very high-stress situation.
Here are some things to consider:
If you are in a shall-issue state, every law-abiding adult has made a choice concerning his or her personal defense. Some have chosen to have the means to defend themselves, have obtained a concealed weapon permit, and have armed themselves. Others (most by failing to make an affirmative choice) have chosen to not have the means to defend themselves. Should it be incumbent on you to defend someone who has chosen to not have the means for their own defense?
If you use your firearm to defend another, you will likely be sued and stand a good chance of being criminally charged even if you do everything right. This will likely cost you somewhere on the upside of $50,000, just for the legal fees you will have to pay your lawyer. In addition to this, youll have the stress of having to deal with the consequences of your actions probably for years to come. This could end up costing you your home, or even your marriage. How likely is it the person you are defending will step up and say, let me help you with your legal expenses, and help you put your life back together heres a big bag of money?
Given this, my personal rule of thumb is, Ill use my firearm to defend myself, my immediate family, and my very closest friends. Everyone else, with very few exceptions, is on their own.
So in this case Id have to ask myself, how close a friend is the station operator?
I know my personal rule of thumb will not be the one a lot of other folks choose to adopt. Thats OK. However, if you carry a firearm for personal defense, you really should consider this kind of situation and develop your own criteria beforehand. If you dont, youll have a lot to process while youre in a very difficult circumstance.
"A gentleman will seldom, if ever, need a pistol. However, if he does, he needs it very badly!" -- Sir Winston Churchill
"He who goes unarmed in paradise had better be sure that is where he is." -- James Thurber
Good post Harold. Just remeber that some states have laws protecting someone who shoots in self-defense from civil action. Very progressive and I'd like to see more of it (I think we all do), but it is out there.
Another possibility to consider:
What if the guy doesn't immeadiately present a weapon. They just walk in, put their hands on the counter, and tell the clerk they will kill them if they don't hand over the money. Assuming a similar placement before, you can see the front half of his body.
Do you still take the shot?

Intervening to save a stranger is certainly a situation that is frought with peril (physically and legally), and there are a lot of reasons not to intervene. However, I don't think that we can assume that the victim could be carrying, but chose not to.

In my program, the encryption key isn't like a password. It specifies which algorithm to use for encryption out of the 2^64 possible algorithms. So if I used user specified keys, the program wouldn't know what to do with them unless they were in the right format. This is why letting users choose their own keys would severely limit the number of possible keys.
There is also a separate password to unlock the program itself. This password is user specified.
But thanks for your opinion anyway.

body odor during pregnancy
hello, i'm 32 years old and 4 months pregnant right now. i've noticed that since i got pregnant, my body odor got worst. i'm not used in putting on deodorants and it annoys me that even after i've taken a shower, i will begin to stink again after 30 minutes or so. is it normal for pregnant women to smell like that? what can i do to prevent this naturally?

On Christmas day my Mum went to my brothers place for her dinner. So on Christmas Eve, she was here with us, we had a house full. I cooked a special dinner for everyone. Mini Beef Wellingtons, my first time, and they were beautiful, I'll definitely be doing those again. So who was here, well, mum of course, Jonny and Joe, Jonnys GF Beth, our friends Mike and Anne and our neighbour John. Full house. Because we wouldn't see Mum and Beth on the big day we did gifts, including the Elephant Quilt.
This is as close as you get to a picture of the finished quilt! It's actually a duvet cover, I quilted it as normal, then added a second lose back with the binding. Mum, as you can see is happy with it. I've told her I will need it back though as I didn't get time to add a label. I'd better get on and finish another of the many pieces she has queued up first.
My flights are booked already to go to the Quilt Festival in Birmingham. Mum and I will be there on Thursday August 11th. Yes mum enjoyed herself and wants to go back again, but I've told her she is not allowed to do any shopping! LOL
Speaking of shopping, supermarket here I come, then the rest of the day is mine.

Turning Around On Walks
When we first brought Bru home he was incredibly nervous, shy and fearful. He barely trusted us and definitely did not trust anyone else, he would hide in our bedroom when we had people over and we had a very hard time housebreaking him (he will still go poop in our spare room if certain people come over if we don't lock him in our bedroom). We were going to a trainer but have had to stop because of weather and my work schedule - once the driving conditions are a bit more predictable we'll start going again. Bruce has improved considerably though, he will let most people pet him and will actually come seek affection from other people that he sees often. He does not seem to like larger males (people) - he will allow them to pet him and seems to be ok with it as long as we are there. He shies away from my father who is just over 6ft (a bit heavier set) and one of our friends that comes over often who is also around 6ft (very muscular).
Back to the point - the only issue that we're having with him now on walks is when someone is walking behind us. It doesn't matter who it is, whether we know them or not, if they're tall or short, etc. He is either constantly turning his head to look at them or trying to turn around to get away from them. Right now, we just move off to the side and let them pass. We tried using a prong collar, it didn't help - he wanted to get away from the people and ignored the corrections completely. Our prong collar is fitted properly. We have been using a gentle leader for the past couple of days with a bit better results, but he tends to flip his entire body around now when he can't just turn to look at them. If it was just turning once to see who was behind him I could live with that, but it's every 10-30 seconds for the entire time that the person is behind us.
As I said, right now we're just moving off to the side so that whomever is behind us can just pass but that's not really going to be possible as the weather gets better and more people are out. We try to walk him during non peak times, but we live downtown so even if we walked him very late at night (which we do), there are still people around.
Once the people are in front of us, 90% of the time he sticks his nose out to sniff them and then he's fine. When we step off to the side I tell him to sit, which he does. He stays like that until the people have passed us and then I release him and we continue on our way. If there is no one around us, he's perfect - heeling, ears up, alert, happy.
I would NOT use a prong in this case for a correction. There is another thread right now about someone doing this for alertness to strangers and their dog developed reactivity/aggression because of it. If he is already shy and/or previously fearful, you don't want to give him a reason to think that people are bad.
I would do LAT (look at that) training with him in this case to change the association. He turns around to look, you mark/treat. Because really, he is being good. He's aware, but NOT reacting, which you are going to start seeing if you keep telling him he's bad for doing it. Mark/treat each time he turns around. Marking it is going to turn him back to you for a reward. People will start becoming his cue to look at you and you can reward him for looking back at that point, and do a lot of rewarding afterward/before he turns around as well, once his attention is forward.
Good luck! :)
Gets some friends, go to a soccer field, randomly spread them out. Walk him and reward for attention on you. The easiest way I have found to get my dog to do what I want is put them in the situation and show them what I expect, rinse and repeat. When working as far as attention based things I like to use a 30 ft check chord. When they aren't paying attention to you lengthen the lead and reward for getting attention back on you and getting back to your side. Hope you find a way that helps
There was a method at one time, that was popular on here with rescuers and owners with young pups, it actually was to modify pulling, but might work in this situation.
You get all the attention on you, how you do this is you constantly change, direction, side of the street, maybe you walk 5 feet and turn around and walk the other way 10 feet, turn around again. Yes, you will look odd. Especially in an urban area, but it takes the dog off balance so to speak, you become unpredictable with where the walk is going. Especially herding dogs, take the cue off the handler, so abrupt changes, the theory is, the dog will watch you much more intensely. The dog does not have time to think about anything other than what you are going to do next.
He knows look at me, he does it fine at home, in high distraction areas, etc but will not do it when someone is behind him. If you are suggestion that we mark the unwanted behavior and treat for that - we did that with him jumping up and it worked well. He doesn't jump up anymore unless we say "Bruce, Hugs". The problem with marking and treating him when he's turning around to see whomever is behind him is that he won't take treats when other people are around - it took 3 months of the guy at the hot dog stand offering him pieces before he'd even take one, he won't take treats from the people at the beer store and we're there pretty often, he knows the girls that work there, he won't take them from pet stores either. It also doesn't help if I have the treat and try to give it to him, he won't take it then either. I've tried taking his ball on walks with us and getting him to focus on it because at home he would do anything for it - but nope, not even the slightest glance from it. I don't know how to mark it for him when there doesn't seem to be anything that I can treat with.
I realize that part of it is an exercise issue - it has gotten worse over the winter since we haven't been able to have him out as much. He's going a bit stir crazy at home and acting like a wild beast if you don't tell him what to do. I do OB with him for 20 minutes before I go to work in the morning, usually on my lunch break and then in the evening we'll do about 45 minutes to an hour of OB mixed with play. BF also does a bit of OB throughout the day. I walk him on my lunch when I have time (if my break is only an hour we just do OB, most often it's 2 hours) and in the evening. If BF is going out during the day he usually brings Bru with him, so that's another walk. During the winter, he's just had the OB and one walk/day - the weather was exceptionally cold on and off over the past couple of weeks so it has been less.
I guess in short - we don't use a prong to correct him, he won't take any type of treat to reward the mark with.
I would ditch the prong and the head halter (honestly I'd use the prong over the head halter in this scenario but neither are really helpful here). Back up several steps, he sounds like he's just not ready for walks of this nature quite yet. I would take him somewhere where there will be other people, but he's not walking. Like a baseball field with a game going on, a college campus. Just stand/sit there and don't walk. Do the LAT game as Danielle suggests. He needs to know that it's OK, you have things under control and make a more neutral or even positive association with people walking around him.
One example is a store we go to that's about a 15 minute walk away. He loves the girls that work there and they love him (but he still won't take treats from them). Anyways, normally we go down our street, left turn at the next street and continue for about 5 minutes, then right turn at the main street and continue for 10 minutes until you get to the store. Anytime we say "Bruce, go home" he takes us straight down a different street, through a park, along a length of train tracks and then down our street. We have NEVER taken him that way. It's interesting because if you look at it on a map, it's literally the most direct route. Sorry for getting off track, he's an incredibly smart boy but oh so stubborn and nervous.
He spends a lot of time in the warmer weather in a park close to our house - it's very similar to what I think you're describing as a college campus, lots going on but still quiet areas. He's fine there, watches people and sleeps usually, he'll even eat there (we split a poutine quiet often, lol), but the second we get up to go somewhere (different group of people, to the bathroom, going home), he's hyper aware of where people are and is constantly looking behind him. It's like he can't relax on a walk if he's on his leash.
I guess I could start using a command like look at that (I don't want to use that because we already use look at me) at home and then follow up outside once the weather gets a bit better and we can be out longer at places like the park. Maybe I'll also see if I can get a lighter, longer leash and see if that helps too?
Keep in mind that look at that training does not actually involved a cue from you. No verbal. No need for confusion.

Steve Sarkisian and David Shaw
Head Coach David Shaw of the Stanford Cardinal speaks with head coach Steve Sarkisian of the Washington Huskies after their game on October 5, 2013 (Photo: Getty Images)
With all of the back and forth concerning Washington and Stanford, Steve Sarkisian and David Shaw, this is a comprehensive breakdown of everything that was said from Saturday night through Tuesday.
Saturday night: Huskies Post-Game Interview.
Coach Sarkisian is asked by Bob Rondeau and Damon Huard about the apparent faking of injuries (there is a small gap without audio that takes out Bob's question but not any of Sarkisian's answer).
Monday night: Coach Sarkisian Show.
At his weekly coach show from the Ram in the University Village, Bob Rondeau and Elise Woodward asked again about the topic.
Tuesday Afternoon: PAC-12 Teleconference
Stanford Coach David Shaw starts the weekly teleconference with a statement on the Washington situation and then takes a few questions (the questions and answers not related to the injuries (or the replay for interest's sake) have been taken out.
After Shaw spoke, Steve Sarkisian joined the teleconference and was asked about the situation and David Shaw's quotes.
That's all of the audio you need to understand what's going on. Now for some possible video evidence to the contrary of David Shaw:
From 2010, possible injury faking by Stanford against Oregon. Jim Harbaugh was the Stanford Head Coach and David Shaw was the Offensive Coordinator.
Now from Saturday Night's game:
Now that you have the facts, the statements from the coaches, and some video evidence what do you think? Vote in the polls below:

I've noticed a lot of people ask about bullets and caliber. What is best to use?
IMHO, The best thing you can do is shot placement. So it really doesn't matter what bullet or gun you use but where you put the bullet.
With shot placement being so important don't you think that a higher capacity magazine load would be better then a low cap mag?
I was thinking about this. A 9mm with 15 rounds would be better then an 8 round .45. I have better odds putting the bullet in the right place if I have more bullets to do that with.
Then again I could be wrong. What do you fine folks think?

Sudden change in behaviour
Joey is 17 months old now, he's well housetrained and usually behaves well when left alone at home. I have had a nightmare week in which he has destroyed the kitchen and some carpets 3 days out of 5. My neighbour has knocked on the door with a delivery and mentioned that her bitch is in her first heat. Could this be causing joey to act out in this way? I'm baffled to understand otherwise!
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
Males will go to great lengths to satisfy their biological urge to mate. A neighbor with a bitch in heat is a powerful attraction. It would not surprise me in the least if this is the cause of the sudden change in behavior. He's plenty old enough to have great interest in this subject.
How often will a bitch be in heat? Also any advice for anything I can do to calm joey or else my house is going to be completely destroyed! He's in tact at the moment and we are arranging for him to be done, will this help do you think?

From what I have read female dogs will go into heat about every 6 months. I've never had to deal with this personally but a good friend had an intact male and female pit bulls. When she came into heat one time he broke his teeth on his cage trying to chew his way out to her--he was that frantic about it. Neutering your intact male should solve the issue. Another suggestion is wearing him out so he's really tired. A tired dog is a happy dog.
Thanks for the advice :) fingers crossed all that combined will do the trick

Also keep in mind that even after he is neutered, it will be a good 6 months before his testosterone levels will be completely down. We just went through a heat period with my female, and my male, who was neutered nearly a year ago, was still very interested (it didn't help that she was nearly throwing herself at him, lol). I have seen males neutered for years who still show interest in females in heat. It is no where near the level it would be if they were entire, but still there, nonetheless. Take hope, though--after the deed is done and his hormones settle down, I doubt that he will try and tear your house apart trying to get to your neighbor's female.

AIBU wrt to my DC missing out because of his allergies?(127 Posts)
I have a toddler with many many allergies. Mostly quite serious.
We attend a brilliant music group which he loves, the woman who runs it is absolutely brilliant. Its one of the few toddler things-to-do that I actually quite enjoy and not cringe my way through.
Since starting last summer, my son has changed from a very shy, frightened child who'd cry if another child or stranger tried to engage with him - to a happy, confident, outgoing toddler. Ive no doubt regularly going to this class has helped (theres a lot we cant go to because they have children walking round with food).
2-3 times a term, the lady uses feathers in the class for 3-4 minutes. If my DC goes anywhere near feathers he breaks out in hives, let alone handles them.
We used to leave the room during this time. But now he gets upset, he doesnt understand why Im dragging him away from all the noise and fun.
So Ive asked her to let me know the week before she uses feathers and we'll not come that week. She agreed and said she email me.
Except I was secretly hoping she'd say she'd just not use them. Theres so few groups we can go to, now 2-3 times a term we cant attend this one.
I dont want to drag my son out the class, its making him feel excluded. I hate that. I hate that fucking, bastard, bastard allergies means my lovely son see's and feels excluded from things.
AIBU to wanted, slightly expected, her to just say she'd not use them?
I really need to know if AIBU because this is just the start of situations like this, I know.
If you don't want to ask about not using feathers or using fake ones could you not just remove him for a few minutes and distract him?
At least he doesn't have to miss the whole session, only a few minutes.
Could you buy and gift her some fake feathers, or equivalent, craft feathers or something, for her to use, that your son could tolerate? It might cost you 20 quid or so.
yes, ask her not to use the feathers. she doesn't need to. it is not an unreasonable request at all.
YANBU but you probably need to accept that most people haven't a clue how hard it is to manage multiple allergies. I am often disappointed at how unwilling even family members are to adapt to my dd's allergies. We don't have nuts or dairy or sesame in our house ever and just live with it. Is it too much to ask not to put out a bowl of cashew nuts when she is around??
The music teacher probably doesn't realise how wonderful it is when you find a safe haven for an allergic toddler. Maybe she thinks you have a whole series of classes he safely enjoys. Over the years I have stopped expecting people to understand and spelled it out a bit more - pleasantly.
And btw OP the toddler years are really stressful when you are dealing with allergies - IMO it gets loads easier as they get older. Good luck!
I ran a group like this and I think you need to discuss it with the organiser.
We had a way of doing Old McDonald one way which was upsetting one child. If it had been many of the other songs, we could have just dropped it, but Old McDonald - oh boy, it was the weekly staple and we would have had toddler uproar if we didn't do it! We found a way to eliminate the problem though by chatting it through.
I think, unfortunately, you have been less than clear about your wishes and muddied the waters somewhat. But there is no harm having another conversation.
Would scarves like these prove a good alternative for how she is using the feathers?
We used them in lots of our songs and they were lovely. I personally wouldn't have used feathers with toddlers due to the pointy ends - though that may make me paranoid!
wonder if this thread could move to allergy section? as parents there have quite a lot of experience in this sort of thing!
p.s ask her to remove the feathers. and consider dustmite allergy and other environmental allergies, as my son has them all and regular hive ups etc, on these types of occasions was his norm for years!
I take your point too teacherandguide, everything has to be weighed up as to how it effects everyone and to try and find solutions.
YANBU. I don't see why the feathers are essential in a music classs, surely she could find something else?
If it were a cookery class and you were complaining about her using milk or flour or whatever that would be a bit different but feathers? Music?
Bottom line is live and let live but consider others whilst your living in my book.
I am with seeker
Ask the organiser to please not use feathers!
I haven't read the whole thread so apologies if someone else has said this.
I run a group for children, several of whom have allergies. It is very difficult to stop doing things that are associated with allergies as you end up not being able to do anything.
Whilst I will not stop doing activities (as I don't think it is fair that those who can take part can't have a go) I think it is important to explore all ways that an activity can be adapted so that they can all take part.
I would really appreciate a parent offering me a solution to their child's allergy (that wasn't to stop doing the activity) - it makes my life a lot easier when trying to adapt what we are doing.
Inevitably there are a couple of things that can never be changed without stopping the activity but I keep these to an absolute minimum, or at least ensure that there is an even balance so it is not one child always missing out.
Sorry to hear about your DS EyeoftheStorm. I'm in that place (hence the sensitivity). It's still relatively new to me, and I hate it. And I'm still rocked by the realisation that the world is harder and meaner than I knew. One of the few things that makes a real difference is the kindness and understanding of others.
YABU. You should continue to take him out when the feathers appear. If he gets upset, distract him.
Coming to this late. OP, imagine this was about a different Special Need.
DD1 has a brain condition. We didn't know that when she was younger. However, when she started preschool I said 'oooh you leave that door open and it goes straight out onto a ramp - she could go over that!' The preschool worker said 'we do know how to look after the children!'. That afternoon, she said 'I see what you mean!'
From that moment on, the door was shut. If it wasn't shut, someone stood by it to guard it. Within weeks, DD1 had 1:1 support because anything else was too risky.
Now, if it had been something which was fundamental to the group, I'd say 'you have to deal with this and accept your DS can't go.' Something like....if DD1 had been absolutely unable to cope with group activities, then a group activity such as preschool is not really modifiable.
A feather? Come on.
YABU for expecting the group leader to take the initiative, especially if you've indicated that you are 'happy' to miss it.
YWNBU to ask her to remove a known (optional) allergen from the group.
Ask the organiser to please not use feathers.
I am going to keep posting this til everyone stops being bonkers and accepts that it's the only sensible course.
I've had a search for you online. "Fake feathers" turns up nothing; likewise "vegan feathers" (they're aparently used in vegan jewellry where you can't use bird feathers).
A search for "artifical feathers" on eBay found a few pages, mainly fake feather birds, or things that could be either grasses / feathers so not suitable for what you want at all. This seems to be the best option on eBay - maybe you could e-mail them to ask if you could get a larger scale order?
ok, so he's only alergic to the feathers if he touches them? well can you then not just make him a replica out of paper or something? something which will look the same as the feathers but won't provoke the alergic reaction? that way it doesn't become a big deal about feathers - if he's too young to understand he can't touch the feathers then he's too young to realise that his feather isn't a feather at all....?
Oh, for goodness sake, OP, just ask her not to use them.
Possible Kindlemum, its one to keep in mind thanks!
Another thought if you can't get feathers - I attend a probably similar music group and our group uses bits of tissue paper for some songs, would that work? We have huge amounts of tissue paper on the parachute and so on.
I have taken on board what you said. I am calm most of the time but the unfairness of it all does overtake but onky occasionally. It comes when Im writing about it, or having to explain it all. It makes me realise how serious, indepth and all encombassing the situation is and it makes me think "I fucking hate allergies."
But day to day its just normal, part of life, being angry or resentful doesnt feature.
It does rear its ugly head though. Not too often and less than this time last year.
Hence the name, you see, a calm still place when the world is going mad around my little boy
Thanks eyeofthestorm.
Doinmecleanin coloured craft feathers is exactly what she uses.
Thank you BaconandEgg. You have no idea how much I needed to read that, and have things put into perspective.
For those asking, I have to leave the room because he's 21 months. Hes not old enough to understand that he cannot touch the lovely colourful feathers that all the other babies and toddlers are playing with. In theory he wouldnt react if he sat and watched them do it, which would probably be fine if he was 2.5-3 yrs + but hes too little to understand.
He has half a face of hives right now because I just came back from parents evening and he laid down on a pillow in the class room. I dont even think that contained feathers so feck knows what thats a result of!
Im glad I posted, my action plan is to seek out some fake feathers, if thats a failing Im toying between asking her to not use them, to asking her to use them at the start. The problem is with the latter, is that the start can change by a good 10 minutes so we could potentially end up missing a chunk, or (more likely) arriving too early and having to sit outside and wait which is no different from what we have been doing.
Fact is, I have a 'plan' which I didnt before starting this thread.
Thank you for the replies, suggestions and most of all understanding and empathy from those who gave it. Much appreciated.
I have been thinking a lot about this thread because the advice I gave to the OP is the advice I give to myself. I do know that 'dark and emotional place', BaconandEgg. DS2 doesn't have allergies, but he does have a condition that could be life-threatening if things go wrong.
I think sometimes when you are in that place, you can't see beyond it. The OP was talking about a particular situation and I was trying to say that if you get upset (and understandably) upset every time something like this happens, it will eat away at you.
I have had moments of extreme rage at the unfairness of what happened to DS2 and other people's reactions to it, but these moments got fewer when I stopped expecting people to react a certain way and was responsible only for my own reactions.
Funnily enough I unloaded on a thread on here a few years ago and someone gave me this advice. It helped.

Boetsch rushes in and they clinch, and Boetsch pins him against the cage and dips to get the double-leg takedown. Boetsch works from side control and then half guard. Grove then pulls him into full guard. Boetsch works short punches to the ribs, but Grove pulls him tight and nearly secures the armbar. Boetsch stands over him and isn't going to coincide the dominant position before the ref allows Grove up. Boetsch clinches again, and the fighters trade knees to the legs. They remain tied up. Grove looks for a toss but doesn't have the angle. Boetsch pushes him into the cage and lans footstomps. Grove answers. Boetsch clings to him and closes our the round with a knee to his gut. MMAjunkie.com scores it 10-9 for Boetsch.
Round 2 - Little action early as the fighters bounce. Boetsch ducks and lands a nice right before resetting. Grove pops a couple quick punches, but Boetsch quickly clinches again. Grove reverses against the cage, and the fighters dirty box. Boetsch lands a trip takedown that snaps Grove backward. Boetsch works from half guard and then moves into side mount and works short punches to the head. Grove has no answer for Boetsch's relentless attack. Grove gets to his knees and eats more punches but gets back to his feet. Boetsch, though, wraps a single leg and quickly takes him back down. Boetsch works from half guard and again moves into side control. Grove rolls to his knees. Boetsch isolates an arm. Grove gets back to his feet and eats a couple knees to the head as Boetsch pushes him back into the cage. Grove fights off a takedown that inevitably comes. Grove wraps him in full guard, looks for a triangle, but is tossed away by Boetsch, who lets the fight go back to standing. Grove throws a high kick that misses before the round ends. MMAjunkie.com scores it 10-9 for Boetsch.
Round 3 - Boetsch quickly shoots for the single leg, and a kneeling Grove fends it off and keeps the fight upright. Boetsch pushes him into the cage. Grove reverses, but Boetsch scores a slick toss to take the fight to the mat and land in side control. Grove tries to get back up from the kneeling position, and Boetsch tags him with knees to the ribs. Grove finally gets back up, and Boetsch shoots again. Grove fends it off and resets. Boetsch shoots for a single leg and eventually wrestlers Grove to the mat. Grove nearly secures a triangle in the process, but the awkward angle doesn't allow it, and they're back up. Boetsch quickly wrestles Grove back to the mat, frees a leg and works short elbows. The pace slows with 80 seconds to go, and both look exhausted. Grove rolls to his knees and gets back up, but Boetsch clings to him. Grove gets his own single-leg takedown. Boetsch grabs his head and looks for a guillotine and waits out the round in top position with short punches. MMAjunkie.com scores it 10-9 for Boetsch in a fairly one-sided fight. Tim Boetsch def. Kendall Grove via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27).

Emotion. Mood. Feelings. This is what I capture through my photographs. Whether it is landscapes, architectural elements, still life, or macros - it is a very personal journey as my own fears, triumphs, beliefs, and shortcomings are exposed with each photo. Much of what I shoot is done spontaneously without preconceived thought or plan. I let what is around me dictate what is photographed. And the shooting is only the first step - a jumping off point. I take the raw images and create what I see in my mind�s eye. Coaxing out textures present in the shot � sometimes adding them. Enhancing the contrast of light and dark to create the mood and emotions I felt and feel. In the end, it�s all about listening to my heart and mind...
Our return policy is very simple:
If you're not happy with a purchase that you made on FineArtAmerica.com, for any reason, you can return it to us within 30 days of the order date. As soon as it arrives, we'll issue a full refund for the entire purchase price. Please note - Fine Art America does not reimburse the outgoing or return shipping charges unless the return is due to a defect in quality.

Ten years on, Athens 2004 gives Greece little to cheer
By Karolina Tagaris
ATHENS (Reuters) - It was billed as a chance to transform Greece's image abroad and boost growth but 10 years after the country hosted the world's greatest sporting extravaganza there is little to celebrate at the birthplace of the modern Olympic Games.
Many of the once-gleaming Olympic venues which crackled with activity have been abandoned while others are used occasionally for non-sporting events such as conferences and weddings.
At the former Olympic rowing center in the town of Marathon, which gave its name to the endurance race, stray dogs play among overgrown weeds as a dozen youths train in the water.
Across the city, the former canoe and kayak venue has dried up, and entire banks of spectators' seats have been ripped out.
Just days before the anniversary of the Aug. 13-29 Games in 2004, and as Brazil gears up for the 2016 Rio Olympics, many question how Greece, among the smallest countries to ever host the Games, has benefited from the multi-billion dollar event.
For Greeks who swelled with pride at the time, the Games are now a source of anger as the country struggles through a six-year depression, record unemployment, homelessness and poverty.
Greece has struggled to generate revenue from the venues.
"Celebrate for what?," said Eleni Goliou, who runs a grocery store in the capital. "They spent money they didn't have - our money, taxpayers' money - on a big party. You see any money left for a celebration?" she asked with a shrug. Continued...

Drew Barrymore Drops by "Billy On The Street": Watch Here!
After being married to Tom Green, Drew Barrymore can put up with pretty much anything, so it's no wonder she was willing to endure Billy Eichner in the latest edition of "Billy On The Street" while plugging her new flick "Blended."
Eichner began, "I'm standing in front of Central Park where hundreds of mentally ill people talk to squirrels every day while Claire Danes jogs past them. And this is a big day on 'Billy On The Street' because we have an amazing guest here. Please welcome the one and only Drew Barrymore!"
Billy continued, "You had your daughter like three weeks ago, and yet you're standing here in New York. So basically, you're like 'Screw them, I've got an Adam Sandler movie to promote!'"
Playing along like a good sport, the "Never Been Kissed" actress laughed, "That's exactly what I said!"
Eichner affirmed the decision, noting, "She'll thank you later when all her friends are working at Burger King, and she's rolling around in your Ever After money!"
Furthermore, Billy declared, "Drew Barrymore lives for Cameron Diaz. No one loves Cameron Diaz more than Drew Barrymore loves Cameron Diaz. Every day when her phone rings she prays it's Cameron Diaz telling her how much she loves the ocean!"

A stupid zine made by stupid kids for other stupid kids. The first issue is in the works. The first 50 copies will have screen printed, hand-numbered covers and rockin' content. Expect standard fanzine fare plus a lot more: Love and food advice from The Whisky Chef, Local skate spots revealed, heart wrenching monologues and more! ALL THIS FOR ONLY A DOLLAR!
-----Zine's I've Made-----
*Population Control - I was in a band, we made a song about raping and murdering a suburban housewife called "Belinda Bevvins". The title was taken from lyrics from that song. There was some poetry, restaurant and record reviews, show listings, short stories, interviews. It was sloppy and half size. I think it went 2 issues.
*Small Town Pessimism - Basic punk rock fanzine with heavy criticism of my hometown. I'm guessing about 3 issues were made
*Bottle Rocket Wars - A one off I passed out at a local fireworks display on July 4th. Defining freedom, fun illustrations, dissecting the Pledge of Allegiance ... basic pseudo-revolutionary garbage. And a show listing. Funny, I was escorted off the premises by police for handing these out.
We invite you to take part in the First International Exhibition "ZINESHOW" in Ukraine. Participation is free. Any technique. Any theme and format. No return. Deadline: 15/04/2013.

Review - Game of Thrones
Showing in a cinema in
Peter Nelis
21 May, 2012
When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die.
ATLUS/Home Focus Interactive
Release Date:
XBox 360, PS3, PC
Role Playing Game
Age Rating:
With such a deep and rich tapestry of mythology already build up around the Game of Thrones franchise thanks to the series of books by George R. R. Martin and the smash hit HBO series of the same name, it was really only ever a matter of time before some opportunistic development studio snapped up the rights to bring us a game based on the world. That developer is Cyanide Studio, and its Game of Thrones title has finally made its way into our hands.
Despite some initial surprise that a studio as relatively small as Cyanide, who can boast such smash hits as Pro Cycling Manager, Horse Racing Manager and Chaos League, publisher ATLUS was quick to snap up the project in North America,and afford them its considerable experience, while Home Focus Entertainment take on the publishing role in Europe. With more than a few eyebrows raised, the real proof of the pudding was bound to be in the eating, and we were poised, ready to gobble, when our review copy arrived in the mail.
Game of Thrones is an RPG, and fans of the TV series may be a little thrown to learn that it's actually based upon the first book in the franchise, rather than focussing directly the series' small screen adaptation. Of course, that's not necessarily a bad thing, as it means that those of us who haven't read the books, regardless of how often we have promised ourselves that we would, still have plenty of new stuff to look forward to, while still being familiar with characters and settings throughout.
The game's story centres around two main characters. The first is Mors Westford, a member of Night's Watch, whose job it is to patrol and protect The Wall, which separates the Seven Kingdoms from the wilds to the north. Unsurprisingly, Westford is a man who is battling demons from his past following his betrayal of his lord. The second is a priest of R'hollor, Alester Sarwyck, a man who has been away from his home for fifteen years but who, on his return following his father's death, immediately becomes caught up in a tangled web.
Your first task will be to assign various abilities, strengths, weaknesses and statistics to your character via the game's slightly underwhelming character creation screens. Obviously there's only so much you can do on this side of things when your character has been predetermined, but there's not really a huge amount of scope for customisation here beyond the basic character class and numerical skill assignments which is quite disappointing. One touch that is a little different, however, is the fact that you can pick quite a few different strengths – the downside being that you must counter-balance these by selecting weaknesses. Get a little too ambitious with your strengths and you'll pay for it when it comes to weaknesses, so you'll need to be careful in your selection.
Once that's out of the way, it's time to jump into the game. Things start much in the same way as they continue throughout, with dodgy voice acting galore and some slightly disappointing visuals. The game's presentation is an ongoing issue throughout, particularly in cut scenes, as characters randomly and jarringly change their stances and on-screen positions with each line spoken. It's a shocking oversight, and it serves as a continual reminder that the game falls so far short of the values of the TV show that it's ridiculous.
Still though, at least when you get into the game things are bound to improve, right? Well that very much depends on your definition of the word, and your expectations of just what awaits you. If you were hoping for a free reign along the same lines offered by Skyrim,, then you're going to be in for serious disappointment. You see, the combat here (which comprises quite a large amount of the action) isn't conducted in real-time, rather it takes a leaf out of the book of older RPGs. You select your enemy using the d-pad, then you hit the top shoulder button to bring up your abilities, selecting whichever one you'd like to use before the game carries out your instructions until you make another adjustment. It's not exactly the most engaging system we've ever see, and it certainly cheapens the experience even further.
Although the action slows down to bullet time speeds (thank you Max Payne for that readymade explanation) once you hit the shoulder button and start planning your attacks, it rarely gives the intended illusion of being caught up in the action – you're simply far too detached from proceedings to get the most out of it. Had we been able to actually jump in and do some of the damage ourselves, then perhaps we would have been a little more forgiving, but it's simply not the case here.
It's typical of the overall feel of Game of Thrones; it's a title that really wants to do something a little bit different, and many elements taken in isolation are actually quite solid. The problem is that they're dwarfed on almost all fronts by the inherent problems found within all game mechanics. The storyline is undoubtedly enjoyable, as you would expect given that Martin himself helped with its creation, and fans of the universe's mythology will find plenty to keep them happy, but the voice acting and attempted lip-synching makes it feel almost comical at times.
If you're a serious fan of Game of Thrones then you'll definitely be able to get past a lot of the issues, but it'll be a real slog to see out the twenty plus hours of bug ridden gameplay to make it to the end of the story. It's quite a shame in truth, but perhaps we shouldn't be too surprised. Perhaps the next studio to take a stab at the license will have more resources to really capitalise on the wealth of depth, emotion and intrigue the world has to offer.

You could just run a filezilla FTP server on your windows machine and set up an account and permissions so you can access all files on your windows from a browser on linux. That is what i typically do.
BTW, you could have easily googled for the answers. Took me 3 seconds to find these:

Playing several sounds simultaneously
I am very new to the world of Mathematica, and need help in the area of
generating sound. Is it possible to play many different sounds simultaneously?
That is, given a list of numbers which we'll use as our amplitudes, will
Mathematica evaluate each and then play them all as one sound? Also, can
Mathematica generate a sound without displaying the corresponding graph?
Please help.
Thanks in advance,
