So in honor of my life, and yours, and all the lives we love so much, that have or are now fighting the cancer fight, I'd like to re-post my reflections on having the entire experience in the rear view mirror –
Something Debbie and I most fervently wish for all.
The Greatest Gift
My new boobs and I have been living together for many years now. They are very much a part of me, to the point where sometimes I forget what an arduous journey it was to get them.
I can also declare with complete honesty that having cancer was not such a bad thing after all. I wouldn't wish it on anyone, and will do my utmost to never have to face another bout, but when I consider how I was "BC" and how I am now, I think of the disease as the wake up call that helped me truly understand and treasure the incredible blessing it is to be alive, to be loved, to be part of something that is bigger than just myself.
Prior to getting sick, I was a seriously high-octane woman. I never really relaxed. I didn't know how to shut out the zillion thoughts always racing across my brain. I thrived on energy and stress and pushing the limits of what I could do. I didn't appreciate what a trusted vessel my body had been. Living inside my unscarred, untested, pre-cancer body, I pushed it relentlessly, had a lot of complaints about what I considered its failings, and held it to exceptionally high standards.
Today, I'm still an over-achiever, but I'm not jet fuel anymore. I can slow down, sit on the porch rocker or watch mindless television and not feel as if I'm wasting time. I can walk our dog without needing to elevate my heart rate. I am able to tolerate some dust without reaching for the furniture polish and can cut myself some slack should I misplace my cell phone or keys.
I'm also completely at peace about getting old. Before cancer, I dreaded aging, and looked upon creases in my skin as an affront to my strenuous efforts to be strong and limber and young. I read about the in-office procedures many women had at the dermatologist's office during their lunch hour, and figured that as the years marched on I'd be going for Botox and chemical peels and whatever other miracles could be called upon to erase the effects of time.
Now, I look at birthdays as accomplishments. Every year that comes to me is proof that I won my cancer war. And while I wish my face didn't fold into saggy lines along my chin and neck I'm actually proud to have some cellulite in my thighs, and to feel the ache of muscles after a particularly hard work out. Those sensations, those lines and wrinkles and dimples are the trophies I wear as proof of my victory over disease.
That's not to say I don't sometimes mourn the loss of youthful beauty. Every now and then I'll stand in the bathroom and pull the edges of my face up and remember how taut and smooth it once was. I'll fantasize for a moment or two about facelifts and liposuction, but then the phone rings, or the dog barks and I move on with my day. I guess realizing your life could be ending sparks a true appreciation for the life you still have.
Before cancer, I was a pencil thin woman who watched every morsel of food I ate and was eternally at odds with my figure. Now I've got tits and ass. I love a good porterhouse steak, enjoy the occasional martini and no longer consider ice cream to be a once a year treat.
I suppose I'll always be a nut about maintaining my weight, but I don't let the scale stand between me and a particularly delicious cookie. I run and spin and swim for aerobic health and lift weights for bone strength. I don't care if my arms have bat wings or my legs aren't always smoothly shaved. I head out to the school bus stop in my sweats and t-shirt and if I miss the poppy seed stuck in my teeth I no longer cringe in embarrassment at having gone outside without being perfect.
It took cancer to make me realize that in all the ways that matter, perfection is a plateau I've already reached: I am married to my soul mate, we have our kids, we're happy in our lives and my boobs don't give me any more trouble.
Whatever it took to get here was worth the ride, and I'm determined to drive this highway until that last stop sign appears. Hopefully I'll be an old lady by then, but one thing is for sure: no matter how old I get my boobs will be forever young.
And I'll be forever grateful for all they taught me.]]>
After all, ours is not the most relaxed society on earth. Keeping up at work, school, managing a household, a family, friendships, staying fit, eating healthy are collectively a day-consuming business.
Add into the equation the time we spend commuting, reading, watching television or movies and participating in social media and suddenly the window available to anyone for contemplation, meditation, self-reflection and simply breathing in a mindful way remains almost completely shut.
I know that in my pre-cancer world, relaxation was almost anathema to me. Forever racing through my days, pushing myself physically, professionally, creatively seemed like the only way to really make the most of my time. Even my yoga classes were preceded by a multi-mile run on the treadmill, and the two-minute meditative end to each class was often the hardest two minutes of the entire practice.
And while I'd love to report that being in treatment finally taught me to slow down, the truth is that it was only after I was finished with oncologists and surgeons that I began to understand how important it is to chill and allow myself the time I need to simply, truly relax.
These days, it's not such a big deal for me to spend 15 minutes in an easy chair thinking about nothing but the music playing on the radio, or the song that's in my head. But it took years for me to figure out how that little bit of time spent being still could fuel a full day of activity and make it better, brighter, more meaningful.
What I have come to realize is what so many of the experts in Beauty Pearls for Chemo Girls advised; being mindful – and grateful – for the life force coursing inside my body was one of the very best ways to keep that life force strong.
It makes such obvious sense: being calm and relaxing my mind meant my muscles would not tense, my heart rate would slow and my tension would ease; and while none of these things would have reversed the malignancy that had invaded my body, they would ultimately have made dealing with the side effects of treatment a lot easier to cope with.
These days, I find that the best way to compensate for a bout of nerves or stress is to take a bit of time to breathe deeply and visualize myself in a warm, nurturing space. If I'm really tense, exercise shifts my head – and my heart – away from difficulties and re-focuses my mind on what's important: the day, the moment, the fact that I'm here, still alive, still able to be part of the circle of life.
It's not to say that relaxation is easy or that once cancer strikes the mundane difficulties of life melt away. They don't. But the ability to cope with life's challenges improves when we give ourselves the space and the permission to whisk away anxiety, fear, anger and negativity by making a conscious decision to inhale positivity and embrace serenity.
When we do, we find that though an emotional storm may be brewing inside us, the shelter of peace and comfort exists within us, and needs only a personal commitment to seek out that peace that ultimately strengthens our minds and soothes our souls.]]>
In my own life, throwing things away did not come easily. I had no trouble getting rid of things I no longer needed, and felt comfortable donating clothes I knew I wasn't ever going to wear, but personal relationships, especially those that were very demanding and draining, were hard for me to jettison.
Even during my treatment, I found myself trying my best to accommodate those who were freaked out by my diagnosis; people who wanted me to be there the way I'd always been; people who wanted to believe as if the cancer was no big deal.
To my way of thinking, rather than make a comment, or a stand, it was easier to just agree and accept these people as they were. Rather than cut them off, my goal was simply to avoid interactions, hunker down, and focus my energy on staying focused and getting well.
The approach worked, as far as it went, but didn't really address a core life issue most people at one point or another have to face: when it comes to certain relationships, when is it okay to let go?
It wasn't until I talked to so many experts on the front lines of treatment while writing Beauty Pearls for Chemo Girls that I came to realize that one of the best health decisions we can make for ourselves is to keep our emotional kitchen as clean and healthy as the one in our homes.
Stress is a known contributor to so much ill health, and the stress that comes from difficult relationships can be deadly. It doesn't matter who the person is or how much feeling is shared between you. If the energy is negative, demanding, draining, confusing – if the cost to your sense of well-being and happiness far exceeds the benefits, it's time to turn away.
It's not only the smart thing to do – it's the right thing to do.
Just as the airline attendant will tell passengers in an emergency to place an oxygen mask over their own face before attempting to help anyone else, one of the lessons cancer teaches is that we all must first be able to breathe before we can provide the wind to lift others.
During treatment, and for the rest of your life, use the journey of cancer to better assess who among your circle is really in your corner. Keep those people close. Cherish them.
And if it so happens that moving through cancer exposes you to truths about people, relationships or situations you find are more trouble than they're worth, like the seashell, cast them away. Even if it's only just a metaphorical shift in your own awareness of them, by taking away their power to drain you, you save those resources to enhance your own health and sense of personal harmony.
If something is out of tune in your world, cancer is the perfect excuse to either excise the note, or refine it. The choice – and the responsibility to ease your own path – is entirely yours.]]>
Breakfast! While you might have a dinner party to go to every week, it's very unlikely that you have a breakfast party planned. Pay closer than usual attention to what you eat for breakfast and make every calorie count. What do I mean by making your calories count? Simply this: make sure you're getting plenty of vitamins, fiber and healthy protein out of your most important meal of the day. Grains, fruit and raw nuts or eggs are the way to go. You'll feel full longer, making the cookies in the break room much easier to pass up. You'll also be getting the materials needed to help break down the rich foods you might be eating later in the day or week. And you'll be stocking up on vitamins that you might not get from dinner.
Snack throughout the day! Eating raw fruit, vegetables, beans and nuts throughout the day in small servings is a great way to keep your metabolism in high gear as well as keeping yourself full with healthy, nutritious foods!
Exercise a little extra. If you have holiday shopping to do, don't drive around the mall parking lot looking for a close space. Park way, way out there! Get extra steps in wherever you can. I always say take the stairs, but really, TAKE THE STAIRS!!! A flight or three of stairs with a bunch of packages is great cardio. If you typically work out three times a week, up it to four. You may feel pressed for time, but that hustle and bustle feeling is one of the greatest parts of the season!
Eat before you go! Fill up on celery or raw spinach and almonds before you host or head to your gathering. I can't stress this enough! If you're going somewhere food is involve, don't go super hungry! If you snack on the food served at least you won't be counteracting all your hard work!
If you have options, eat what you know! Find the foods that you know have the most nutritional value and shy away from the foods that you know are empty calories, or worse filled with chemicals. For instance: Eggnog or apple cider? Apple cider. Hot wings or celery? Celery. Pretzels or Crudite? Crudite. And when it comes time for dessert, eat half! I'm not an advocate of wasting food, but in the case of dessert I don't think it's wrong to waste a little.
I don't want to be a party pooper, but I also don't want you to feel anxiety over any aspect of this beautiful time of year! I want you to know that all is not lost if you eat that chicken cordon bleu and mashed potatoes. No one puts holiday pounds on their wishlist, but just like socks and underwear, many people get them. Don't sweat it (or do sweat it on those stairs). You now have the tools to avoid those unwanted gifts. The pounds, that is. I'm afraid I don't have any tips on the socks or underwear."

"Have Patience with all things but, first of all, with yourself." – Saint Francis De Sales
When it comes to children, or dogs, or the elderly, I have always possessed a large reservoir of patience. Letting my son dress himself at the age of two, even though it took five times longer than it would have had I taken over the job, was not a big deal for me. Dog vomit on the rugs or poop on the floor was unpleasant to clean up, but not the trigger for outrage. Repeating myself over and over to a person who was fifty years older than I and had lost most of their hearing was a piece of cake.
But when it came to being patient with myself, I had a fuse that was shorter than the wick of a birthday candle.
Seriously, if I couldn't find my keys, or forgot to buy some ingredient at the store, or heaven forbid put on a pound or two because I was lax about exercise or ate crummy food, the self-recriminations flowed. Until I had to face cancer, that is. Then all those highly driven expectations of self-perfection faded in the face of a disease that was wreaking havoc on my body and my entire family's psyche.
Once my weight blew up forty pounds from steroids and my skin bore a wealth of surgical scars, and I couldn't taste anything but metal in my mouth, the memory of my once unstinting personal demands faded. Looking at the anguish in my husband's eyes whenever I was having a rough reaction to the chemo, knowing that he was suffering because there was nothing he could do to alleviate my suffering pushed washed away any sense I may have had about being stronger than I was able to be.
In other words, during treatment, I had no choice but to cut myself a break – and once I healed, I found it a fairly simple thing to take it easier on myself.
Looking back on my pre-cancer self I can only shake my head at what a lunatic I was, with my dust free house and fat-free body and take no prisoners work mentality. Extra shifts? No problem! Spend six days out of seven flying from city to city? Sure! Days off? Who needs them? Food? No thanks, there's always coffee to stave off those pesky hunger pangs…
It's no wonder something finally gave out inside me – not that I think I caused my cancer, but I sure as heck didn't make it easy for my body to fight it off!
Things are different now, mostly because I'm different. I've finally learned how to take the patience I have towards others and apply it to myself. Sure, I'd like to be a little thinner, a little less saggy, a little more gainfully employed – but I'm not, and that's ok. The sun will still rise in the morning, I'll still get my son off to school and put dinner on the table and take care of the chores of the day in between.
Sometimes I'm amazed at how clueless I once was. I really thought that by working towards perfection I would find happiness. Now I know that happiness is a journey, not a destination, and that taking the long road is much more enjoyable than racing towards the finish.
It's too bad I had to go through such a hard time to learn such an easy thing, but even that's ok with me, now that I've embraced the idea that patience really is a virtue, especially when it's practiced on myself.]]>
Even now, five years since the book's release, I regularly speak with patients, caregivers and survivors, sharing stories, advice and wisdom from the experts in our book and others I've met on this journey.
But where I used to think my job was to fill the space around me with words of empathy and inspiration, I've come to realize that one of the best ways to help people in crisis is to simply be quiet and listen. Give them the room to express what they're thinking and feeling and experiencing. Guide the conversation, not lead it, and allow those on the front lines of cancer to share their stories and celebrate whatever insights and victories they can claim.
I find that in doing this, the workshops and support sessions I attend generate such grace and positive energy, and that in turn has helped me to be a better listener across the entire spectrum of my life.
I used to head into events with our expert's advice ready for dispensing. Now I just mention a topic, maybe hair loss, and let the conversation flow, adding bits of information wherever it's relevant, but mostly letting everyone else talk about their experiences. And what I find is that as a group, we laugh more, share more and learn more.
It's the same experience if I'm doing a consulting job, or dealing with a contractor, or trying to reason with my tween-age son. Telling any of them something is not nearly as interesting to them as having me listening to their thoughts, and then weighing in on the basis of what they're saying. Once they feel like their being heard, that their needs and views have been acknowledged, they're much more likely to give me the same opportunity to express myself. The net gain is we each learn how to better communicate.
Years ago Paul Simon wrote about "… people talking without speaking, people hearing without listening…"
Ten years after cancer came into my life, I have come to realize it's better to listen before speaking, and hearing about what matters to those with whom I'm engaged before I begin to speak; and that it's in the silence that the space for understanding comes into being, and wisdom begins to grow.]]>

Throw out everything in your life that you don't need and isn't working. Draining friends, needing to have your house spotless, being president of the PTA – if it's too much for you let it go and concentrate on what works for you and makes you calm and relaxed and happy.
It's a great bit of advice that, over this past decade, I've come to embrace, realizing that we are not all each other's cup of tea – and that it's perfectly ok to acknowledge this, and act on it in ways that make life easier and more enjoyable.
Being an alumnus of 12 years of Catholic School, I grew up believing that it was uncharitable to not want to share the company of people who, for whatever reason, did not click with me. If invited to spend time with someone, I felt I had no choice to oblige, and be gracious and social. If asked to work on a project for which I had no time or interest, I thought it was my duty to accept. If plans were inconvenient, but included me, I never thought to decline, or bow out.
Cancer changed all that. Once I had to put myself, my treatment, my survival as my top priority, letting go of difficult relationships became much easier. I discovered that declining to tax myself beyond my capabilities was not selfish, it was smart. It focused my time and energy in ways that helped me get through the rigors of treatment. Once out of the cancer trenches, I realized that moving forward, I had every right and reason to continue to use the minutes of my life in ways that empowered without draining, and inspired without exhausting.
That's not to say I took a wholesale approach to relationships and commitments. I refined them. So a person who may have been an enormous pull on my psyche was relegated to a less prominent place in my consciousness. I was able to make sure that my priorities did not take a back seat to someone else's. The things that matter most to me, my health and my family, are now always center stage.
I find this all to be enormously freeing – it's as if cancer gave me permission to put my needs first, and to either literally or figuratively walk away from people and situations I just don't want to be around. I know there are already millions of people for whom this comes naturally but for me this was one of the best life lessons ever learned: that no matter how much time I've got left on earth, it's up to me to make sure I use it in a way that makes a difference to me and those I love.
Anyone dealing with cancer discovers just how gutsy they really are. In my case, I found out that yes is a beautiful word, but that being able to say no – no, thank you, not today, not this time, or maybe not ever – is an equally empowering gift and one I'm grateful to have finally opened.]]>
I was 12 at the time, and I never forgot that moment. I guess what struck me was the way this teacher, who couldn't have been more than 23, could speak so dismissively about an entire decade of time. I remember thinking how cool that must be, to have so much life in the rear view mirror.
Now, as I head towards my 54th birthday, what strikes me is how many ways there are to frame the decades I can look back on: by marriage or friendships or jobs… or cancer.
This month is a big anniversary for me: 10 years as a cancer survivor. And in many ways, it's this past decade that has changed me as no other period of time before ever had.
I'd gotten a lot accomplished before cancer reared its ugly head: college, marriage, career, travel, and divorce. I'd lived independently in fabulous Manhattan apartments, globetrotted as a news and documentary film producer, bought myself a house in NJ, fallen in love, gotten married again, had a baby and blended our son and my husband's two kids into a true family unit.
And then, wham! Here comes cancer and all the triumphs of the past drilled down to one thing: would I make it — or not? It took two years to really know the answer, but once my final surgeries and treatments were finished, I decided then and there that cancer wasn't going to be a crisis for me anymore – only an opportunity to take the rest of my life and make it matter every day.
That's not to say cancer isn't horrible. It sucks. It's so awful that once I was finished with treatments and all my surgeries, I got rid of any tissue where I thought it might still lurk. I had a hysterectomy, went through a brutal menopause without any hormone therapy and honestly, if I could've figured out a way to live without a colon, kidneys, or stomach, I would've gotten rid of all of them too – anything so that I never had to face it all again.
But cancer also changed me in ways I think have made me a better, more thoughtful and spiritually in tune person. Once I had to face death, it made the flip side of life all around me such an easy and beautiful gift to embrace. Cancer made me a more patient parent, spouse and friend. It taught me to listen better, empathize more, forgive quickly, laugh easily and relax in ways that were almost impossible ten years ago.
I know I'm not alone – because of our book, and the volunteer work I do on behalf of local cancer organizations in my community, I meet people in all stages of disease and survivorship. I meet their caregivers, and doctors and friends. We cancer people share a special bond – we know that along with every other living thing, each of us will have our time on this earth, and then one day the sun will rise and we won't be here to see it.
But this truth only makes life's fleeting beauty that much more precious. I'm often struck at how when survivors meet, an unspoken rapport develops and the positive energy of their spirits makes everyone around them feel uplifted.
Ten years after being thrown into the cancer club, I see my survivorship as an opportunity to make sure that the energy and light I share with every other person on this journey continues to shine outward, reaching people wherever on the journey they are, keeping hope strong with an abiding knowledge that no matter what they're facing, they are not alone.]]>
Happy Friday! We've been quiet for a while, but we are back with a great blog series coming your way! Stay tuned for more stories from Marybeth.

City of Aspen and Pitkin County officials are working with Colorado West Regional Mental Health to have a new facility up and running by the new year that will treat people who require medical detoxification.
The facility would provide a place for intoxicated people, who don't need other medical attention, to go to sober up. It would also include an on-call staff to respond during those situations and to monitor the patients, said Colorado West CEO Sharon Raggio. The program would also include a follow-up counseling service to encourage people abusing substances to enter into treatment, she said.
"Often people who need a detox are people who are well into addiction," Raggio said.
Colorado West has operated programs like the one in the works in Eagle and Summit counties, Raggio said. Between 23 and 33 percent of people who underwent detox in those communities have sought treatment, she said.
"That's a very high number," Raggio said of the percentage.
The hope is to implement it at the beginning of January and possibly by New Year's Eve, Raggio said.
Discussions on details of the new facility, like where it will be located and how it will be paid for, are still underway, Raggio said. One of the reasons those decisions are taking time is because the state government needs to approve the detox facility's location, Raggio said. One site that is being considering is the Schultz Health and Human Services Building across from Aspen Valley Hospital, said City Manager Steve Barwick.
The idea is to create a semi-permanent model for treating intoxicated patients in the area, by sharing the program's costs between nonprofits and government agencies in the community, Barwick said. The city and county would likely contribute to it on a yearly basis, but how those costs would be divvied up has not been decided, he said.
The effort is a reaction to the recent closure of the nearest detox center in Glenwood Springs and the planned closure of Aspen's drug and alcohol rehabilitation program called The Right Door.
The Glenwood Springs facility, based in the Garfield County Jail, was run by Colorado West and shut its doors last month. Meanwhile, The Right Door is scheduled to close at the end of the year. The program does not have its own detox center, but it provides patients with transportation to nearby facilities and other treatment programs, while offering other counseling services to treat substance abuse. The city of Aspen hasn't had a detox facility within its borders since the demise of the Aspen Recovery Unit, which was founded by the late Ruth H. Brown. It shut down in 1993.

This was a phenomenal episode as Laurel goes into a case with lethal ramifications that bring the Hood back into her periphery, while Diggle goes off on his own little mission. Those two storylines both developed nicely, and it forced Oliver to choose sides, or at least choose a position, and that could be huge moving forward.
I couldn't care less for Tommy's character anymore. He's useless and I care more about his father than I do about him. Definitely shipping Oliver + Laurel.
On the other hand, I love the Roy + Thea thing we got going on, and I love everything about Roy right now. Very curious to see where that leads.
Can't wait to watch the netx one!

You're a graphic artist and you've just completed that large job and you need to get a high-resolution proof to the client before close of business - but you're stuck with a slow internet connection, or one that drops out intermittently. Or both.
Or you're a video producer and you need to send footage to a client - or you're in one of many other lines of business that rely on fast communication with customers for your livelihood. There was a time not that long ago when burning to CD and popping it in the mail was the fastest and cheapest way to send large files around the country, and even now with fast, cheap internet and plenty of options, that may still be the case for many of us.
The trouble with ADSL is that it is fast in only one direction - down. But if you want to send a document, then you're often stuck with an upload speed that is 10 times slower than your download speed. ADSL stands for asymmetric digital subscriber line, and that means that there is no symmetry in your up and down speeds.
But the landscape has changed, and with several new options arriving on the scene recently, small business is suddenly spoilt for choice.
The evolving national broadband network offers download speeds of up to 100 megabits per second (mbps). That is fast: four times faster than the fastest possible ADSL2+ speeds and many times faster than the real-world speeds most users are getting.
The NBN is steadily creeping across Australia. Recently, the Perth to Geraldton NBN backbone lit up, and the sprawling network will fuel opportunity for Australians wanting to work from home.
Competitive pricing
The construction project should be completed by the end of 2018, servicing 13 million premises. The Government has declined to impose pricing restrictions for retailers, apparently keen to fuel competition.
"The more competition you have the better pricing consumers have," Prime Minister Julia Gillard said at a press conference in December last year.
Small change
Already, Internode and Primus are offering NBN plans which suggest that tapping the fibre-optic network's power need not be expensive. You can hop on the network for as little as $30 per month.
For your money you will get more capacity or bandwidth, analysts agree, but whether the network will be of radical benefit is a topic of debate.
Internode recently increased the upload speed on its Tasmanian NBN plans to a phenomenal 40mbps - almost double the maximum download speed on copper wire.
Big deal
"I don't expect it to make much difference, in particular to Australian SMEs," says Sydney entrepreneur Dylan Jay [pretaweb.com], a web designer trained in computer science. The winners will be big video-on-demand companies, Jay says, mentioning Fox and Apple.
"There seems to be a lot of talk about 'e-health' and tele-medicine being 'enabled' by NBN but very few specifics of what kind of applications actually need the kind of bandwidth that is being talked about and how much they are needed," he says.
"The most immediate result would be allowing people out in the bush to watch high-definition YouTube."
Count on copper
The average entrepreneur might do fine sticking with old-school ADSL: the proven and established broadband mode. ADSL uses existing copper phone lines.
If you mostly use the internet for research and emails, ADSL is fine.
If you do tons of uploading, ADSL may not have enough grunt, and the next step is to turn to SHDSL (symmetric high-speed digital subscriber line), which offers high bandwidth in both directions and because it uses up to eight pairs of copper wire, it is far more stable and the best choice if your business needs an uninterrupted connection.
As the word "symmetric" suggests, SHDSL gives you blazing speed both ways – uploads and downloads, without you needing to wait for the NBN to appear. According to Internode spokesman John Harris, SHDSL is just the job if, say, you do videoconferencing and have to handle rich data streams in each direction. Likewise, if you have to shunt graphic design files around, SHDSL may be your solution.
"You can bump stuff around to your heart's content," Harris says. No need to burn the data onto a CD and pop it in a post box, he adds.
The catch with SHDSL is the cost. It can climb into thousands of dollars per month.
Reliable runner
According to telecoms analyst Paul Budde, 90 per cent of SMEs can get by with a standard ADSL or cable service that comes bundled with a digital TV service. Echoing Harris, Budde says that SHDSL is the ticket for a specialist graphics-intense field such as medical imaging or games development - both fields demand massive capacity.
Most businesses care more about affordability, according to Budde, who adds that everyone would like to own a $300,000 Rolls-Royce, "but you go for the Holden". That is, ADSL.
Cut the wire
That said, Budde warns against becoming fixated by fixed-line fibre-optic or copper broadband. Weigh up the benefits of mobile broadband, he suggests, adding that already real estate agents and sales reps "totally rely" on mobile broadband.
"Look into it. Experience it," Budde says.
Start, he suggests, by signing up for a pre-paid mobile broadband trial and see how well it runs on your smart phone, tablet or netbook.
"Mobile broadband can really help your productivity and efficiency,"
Budde says. If you are travelling, he adds, it sets you free, severing your reliance on your hotel's hub.
Telstra is already offering speeds of 21mbps on its NextG service, with an upload speed of 5.8mbps, and the telco has already announced that its planned 4G network will offer speeds of up to 80mbps.
Up to speed
Nobody would deny that mobile broadband is convenient. Still, it can be erratic, dropping to annoying effect.
In contrast, the fibre-optic NBN - the largest single infrastructure investment in Australia's history - oozes solidity. The NBN has won support from the IT sector with most Australian ISPs backing it, along with Microsoft, Google and Intel.
A survey conducted by Swinburne University revealed that three quarters of Australians supported the high-tech network, too.
Behind the curve
In the past, Australia has been called "a broadband backwater" and "the Third World of broadband developed nations". Last year, Australia finished 58th in a global ranking of internet connection speeds, trailing the likes of New Zealand, Thailand and Russia. If nothing else, the NBN looks likely to make Australia appear more "switched-on", a smarter forum for business.

D3 RMAH rare metal marketing will be stay
As the rare metal value features a repaired bottom part around the RMAH regarding twenty-five EUR-/USD-cent every 100k rare metal, you should buy any thousand rare metal for just two. 5 USD/EUR. Although which is decent, the particular botters can easily promote that regarding 1-1. 5 USD/EUR every thousand, so they really nonetheless have got a lot of the particular rare metal enterprise inside Diablo 3, strictly as a result of value. When folks acquired an option as well as the rare diablo 3 gold value has been the identical, then a RMAH would certainly acquire a lot of the rare metal enterprise due to the fact this is a risk-free, established route. Yet today, the particular rare metal marketing around the RMAH will be deceased and also rare metal just isn't marketing about it with a couple of. 5 USD/millio
This is one way the price tag on rare metal inside Diablo 3 is set
Having an established white-colored rare metal industry and also a great unofficial greyish industry, you might have a couple of self-sufficient areas in which established the price tag on rare metal according to different facets. As the rates shift separately, an individual start regarding arbitrage investing involving the areas. Put simply, you get from industry and also promote around the some other industry.
The particular greyish industry will be much more intricate, considering that the value is quite significantly influenced by offer as well as the rates the particular rare metal supplier will get coming from his / her subcontractors. The particular rare metal you get coming from gold sellers just isn't one thing they've got captive-raised by themselves. They will acquire a great buy, chances are they look over their particular dealer community to be able to load that and they will have the rare metal from your dealer and present that for your requirements. And also this signifies, that all diverse rare metal owner markets with a diverse value, and also there's no effortless, trustworthy solution to examine rates regarding huge amounts regarding rare metal vendors. You have to do the particular diablo 3 gold kaufen oneself and acquire the values coming from every person supplier
You could utilize this to produce a real income
Due to the fact those two areas shift separately, it is possible to typically acquire using one industry and also promote around the some other. Around the white-colored industry it is possible to promote with a expense regarding 15%-30%, when you can easily promote around the greyish industry with a expense regarding about 50%. And that means you are usually far better away from marketing around the white-colored industry, regardless of acquiring struck 2 times using a payment regarding 15% in order to funds out there and not shift the amount of money in your Struggle. web finances. This is simply not a challenge, as you can easily typically furthermore acquire less costly around the greyish industry as compared to around the white-colored industry
Nonetheless, you can find hazards, nevertheless they are usually small. The greatest chance gets the consideration flagged due to a large amount regarding rare metal relocating by means of that. Blizzard can't demonstrate you might have acquired the particular rare metal, given that dozens of folks providing you rare metal, could possibly be friends and d3 gold and also maybe it's items. Yet that is Blizzard's video game and so they are capable of doing just what they desire from it, thus often there is the chance to getting consideration closed when that receives also intense. Yet I really believe maybe it's extremely achievable to be able to turn a couple of hundred or so thousand monthly, of course, if an individual produce a 1 money or perhaps a couple of every thousand, which is a supplementary 100-200 money regarding funmoney on a monthly basis.

I met her eye across the crowded terminal shuttle taking us to our airplane. She was another young mom, cradling a squirmy baby under one arm while keeping a tight grip on her stroller and carry-on with the other. We exchanged pleasantries and I detected a faint accent in her Romanian. She revealed that she was traveling back to her native Paris after visiting her husband's family in Romania and I explained that we had come from a similar family visit with my relatives.
On the flight, we found ourselves sitting in neighboring seats. But while I was able to spend the majority of the hour and a half flight from Sibiu to Munich reading a book on my Kindle, she struggled to keep her increasingly agitated baby quiet and calm. Between bouts of crying (the baby) and pacing (her), we exchange smiles and I what I hoped read as sympathetic looks, saying, it's alright, we've all been there.
But the truth is that in our seven weeks on the road and our numerous flights (both domestic and international), we had very few moments going through what that she was struggling with. I would have liked to help her, but while she was struggling with her agitated baby, I was pinned under the heavy weight of my sleeping one. My only discomfort while flying with our nearly one-year-old was being stuck and unable to move my legs as she mostly napped to the hum of the engine and the vibration of the plane in flight.
My secret? I nursed her at every take-off, timing it to coincide with nap time as best as possible, and letting her drift to sleep while enjoying my arms and the comfort of breastmilk. In a conversation with that same mom on our way out of the plane, she relayed that she had stopped nursing her eight-months-old "a long time ago;" information conveyed with no trace of nostalgia nor relief. It just was.
In Munich, I would later buy a parenting magazine (Eltern) containing a graph showing breastfeeding customs according to country, indicating that French mothers breastfed for shorter periods of time than many European counterparts (most weaning at around three months of age).
While I don't believe in shaming mothers who are not breastfeeding (for whatever the reasons, as causes can be multifold and complex), I have relished my breastfeeding relationship and do encourage any new mom friends to consider breastfeeding before turning to alternatives. Moreover, when it came to traveling with our daughter, breastfeeding proved to offer a host of benefits that I never even considered when first starting to nurse.
In no particular order, here are just some of the benefits of breastfeeding while traveling with a baby:
1) Nursing baby "down" on flights and trains
2) Increased immunity at a time of high exposure to germs
3) An easy and quickly accessible source of food while away from home
4) Comfort at a time of constant change
Ironically, I had approached our summer of travel as the time to begin the weaning process. My reasoning was that she would be nearing a year of age and that had always been a number tossed around by friends, family, and medical authorities as a "good goal time" in terms of nursing. Do it for a year. And I did and assumed I'd be done. But as we began our journey, I realized just how imperative nursing would be for keeping our daughter happy, comforted, and nourished through weeks of changing locales, cuisines, surroundings, and languages. Nothing communicated familiarity and comfort like our moments nursing at the onset of a train ride or take-off in an airplane. Nursing allowed her to relax in various spaces and in unfamiliar contexts, seeking refuge in the tastes, smells, and sounds of her mama and her "home."
Whenever I describe our breastfeeding relationship, I'm wary of romanticizing it or of vilifying the other ways in which parents can nurture and bond with their children. There are many ways in which strong and valuable bonds can be forged and breastfeeding does not elevate my relationship with my daughter to a superior status. But it has proven tremendously rewarding, undoubtedly valuable, and surprisingly useful in our first year together and even more so once we took our family on the road.
As for the weaning process? I believe that to be a personal decision best made by baby and mother, listening to the needs of both over the advice and suggestions of others. As with so many parenting decisions, this summer has taught me to take outside suggestions with a grain of salt and to listen to my daughter, our specific situation, and my parenting instincts above all else.

Petriot.com serves as a patriotic marketplace, where multiple American businesses offer their products to the American public, on one safe and convenient site. All products are proudly Made in the USA. United We Stand.
The members of Petriot LLC proudly launched Petriot.com on the 4th of July, 2010, in commemoration of our country's revolutionary birth. Since then, the site has grown to represent more than twenty American businesses, offering a combined total of more than 500 products, all of which are proudly Made in the USA.

America now faces a massive trade deficit, as our economy continues to decline, while foreign markets are enjoying steady growth and prosperity. This will continue to be the case until we, the people of the United States, decide it to be otherwise. Our nation's fate is in our hands, and the time to act is now!
It was this line of reasoning that spurred the founders of Petriot into action.
Late last year, in December of 2009, as our respective family members were Christmas shopping for each other, we began to seriously contemplate the issue. We began to actively seek out products on the shelves that said "Made in USA," and to our terrible dismay, we couldn't find any. Alarm bells began to ring as we realized how bad the situation had become: we, as concerned citizens, could no longer support our nation if we wanted to! We could no longer purchase American products - where would they find them? Or worse yet, did they still exist at all?! With the future of our economy seeming to be hopeless, but with a burning sense of patriotism, we decided to take action. We formed our company and began seeking partners and the necessary startup capital to launch a new website. (read more about Petriot: http://www.petriot.com/
Almost one year later, we are proud to say that there ARE products still being Made in the USA! And that is where Petriot.com comes in, bringing all of these products together for you, in one convenient marketplace, making it possible for you to once again buy American goods and support American families.
Petriot.com allows for a safe, friendly, and easy-to-use online environment, where multiple US companies can display all of their products on a single website, making it easy for American citizens to once again shop domestically. Each company is also given their own 'storefront,' where they can tell their story and give you a sense of who they are. Petriot.com is about connecting; it is about creating a national community. It is about coming together as one People, UNITED.
As http://www.petiot.com continues to grow, connecting more US businesses with more patriotic citizens, we encourage you to visit us and see what all America has to offer. You can make a difference, and together, we can build a better country. United, We Stand.
At www.petriot.com, we also have links to our Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn pages, where we invite you to follow us in this act of economic patriotism.

For the first eight years of his life, Ismail Mohammed Hassan could not eat. A stricture in his oesophagus - caused by scarring from recurrent gastric reflux - meant that every time the Somali boy tried to eat solids, the oesophagus would not allow the food through to his stomach and threw it back up.
Ismail had to grow up on fluids alone, most often a type of gruel made from milk with bits of bread mixed in.
That was until he was brought to Australia, with the help of Moira Kelly from the Children First Foundation. Doctors at the Royal Children's Hospital performed a procedure called fundoplication to allow Ismail to eat food, and keep it down, for the first time.
Taking a small section of Ismail's stomach called the fundus, surgeon Alex Auldist wrapped it around the lower oesophagus, then stitched it together, creating a new valve to prevent acid moving from his stomach into the oesophagus. This in turn allowed the stricture to subside, creating more room for the food to move into Ismail's stomach.
Although gastric reflux is common in babies, it is unusual for the acid to irritate the oesophagus enough to cause a stricture.
Mr Auldist said that despite growing up on fluids alone, Ismail was "in pretty good shape", but he needed to eat solids to grow properly. "It's pretty unsustainable for the rest of your life," he said.
Instead of having a large incision across his stomach, as was once the case, Ismail has four small scars where Mr Auldist used a laparoscope to perform the hour-long surgery.
Afterwards it was time to test the new system, with a gradual sampling of foods beginning with jelly and ice-cream.
Marie Snow, one of the volunteers caring for Ismail during his stay in Melbourne, said he was very excited to see the food. Even now, Mrs Snow said, a visit to a coffee shop made Ismail's face light up, and he ate anything put in front of him.
Through an interpreter, Ismail said it had been very difficult not being able to eat. But now that he has had a chance to sample all manner of things, "I like it very much", he said. His favourite foods are rice, potatoes and ice-cream, and he hasn't let missing front teeth get in his way.
Soon Ismail will return to his family in Somalia. Mr Auldist said Ismail's stomach should not cause him any more problems.
Ismail said one of the first things he would do when he got home would be to "play with the other children".
As for the future, he has that worked out, too - he wants to help his mother, and is especially keen on washing clothes.
"I want to help everybody in the world, my mother first," he said.

Tough Loss: Wildcats out-hit Poteet but fall in Game 1; look to even series tonight with Diamond on the mound
By JOSEPH ELERSON, News-Telegram Sports Writer
May 9, 2008 - MESQUITE - Sulphur Springs proved on Thursday night they can hang with the top teams in the state.
In Game 1 of their best-of-three, Class 4A, Region II area-round series against the No. 2-ranked Mesquite Poteet Pirates, the Wildcats (15-11) out-hit Poteet 5-4, but in the end lost 5-1 at the James Copeland Baseball Field.
"I was disappointed in the fact that we did not give them our best effort," said SSHS coach Jerrod Hammack. "I don't mind losing if a team is just better than us. We started out in the first inning making mistakes that we do not normally make.
"We had two tough errors in the first inning that gave them the three runs and Kevin was not as sharp as he has been this season. He normally doesn't walk five guys in a game and I think we had three leadoff walks."
Senior Kevin Mabe took the loss pitching a complete game, four-hitter with five walks and three strikeouts.
Sulphur Springs looks to even the series tonight at 7:30 p.m. as they send Brittan Diamond to the mound, where he is undefeated at home this season. He comes into the game with a 6-3 record and a 1.91 ERA in 66 innings.
Mesquite Poteet (26-3) will counter with their ace Teddy Nowell, the Oklahoma signee, as he comes into the game with an 8-0 record.
"Hopefully, we can get a good crowd out there and it should be a good ballgame," the coach said. "There are going to be two really good pitchers out there and if Brittan is on like he usually is on then he is going to give them some trouble.
"This should be a good game and we like our chances. If we can get them to a third game, then we feel like we can win the series but tonight is paramount."
If a Game 3 is necessary, the two teams will head back to Mesquite for a 1 p.m. start tomorrow to decide who advances to face Nacogdoches or Forney in the regional quarterfinals next week.
On Thursday night, Mesquite Poteet's Jake Sutton smacked a triple to deep center field on the second pitch of the game and scored on a sacrifice fly from Zack Stanley for the 1-0 lead.
With two outs in the inning, Nowell reached first on a single and then scored on a passed ball. After a walk to Brett Doe, Doe came around to score from first on a wild pitch for the 3-0 lead.
The Wildcats cut into the deficit in the top of the second inning with a RBI single from Mabe as courtesy runner Shane McQueen came around to score from second.
The big play of the second inning came on a pick-off attempt on senior first baseman Dustin Gant. Poteet catcher J.T. Files threw down to Nowell at first, who applied the tag for the second out of the inning.
Hammack said the tag appeared to be late and could have been a turning point in the game.
"He was safe to me from the third base box, which was not even close from my view," Hammack said. "The umpire said that it was a good, quick tag and he saw daylight between the bag and Dustin's leg. He was right on top of the play but Dustin was on the base when the tag was made."
Poteet added a run in the fourth inning as Taylor Wilcox led off the inning with a walk, followed by a sacrifice bunt by Austin Blunt. Bradley Stone then rapped an RBI-double down the third base line for the 4-1 lead. The Pirates added a home run from Files in the fifth inning for the 5-1 finale.
"We outhit them and I thought after the first inning we played really good defense," the coach said. "It is disappointing that we were not at our best the entire game and I felt like we could win the game if we played error free."
Poteet pitcher's Johnnie Riley and Tyler Dowse held SSHS to five hits with seven strikeouts and two walks. Riley picked up the win as he went 5 1/3 innings, while Dowse recorded four strikeouts in 1 2/3 innings of work.
"I thought we could have given him more run support," the coach said. "I thought we could have hit there guy better than we did.
"I thought the guy that came on in relief was effective against us. I don't know if they would come back with him on Saturday, which would be tough if we can chase his curveball and I think we can hit him if we sit back and wait on his fastball."
Brandon Whittle and Gant led the Wildcats as they went 1-for-2 respectively. Jeff Beck, Diamond and Mabe each went 1-for-3 with Mabe recording an RBI for the Wildcats.

Colour Mixing
Colour mixing using Oil paint.
Colour mixing can be fascinating, fun or frustrating, depending on your interest, knowledge or experience. We hope this section will be of help and interest to those who wish to expand their knowledge of colour mixing with oil paint.
The trouble with most 'colour wheels' is, they show the colours but not the name of a paint that represents that colour. To find out which paint represents the various colours, try the following options. Read the manufactures information, books on colour, other peoples advice or some detective work yourself. You will learn far more if you take the time to experiment with the tubes of paint.
Throughout these colour mixing examples Lefranc and Bourgeois Artist quality, is the paint used. They are all single pigment colours. In the first six examples Titanium White is mixed in from the top left hand corner to show the 'tint' of the Primary colours.
Two Primary Yellows:Flanders Yellow - leans towards green. Sahara Yellow - leans towards orange.
Two Primary Blues:
Prussian Blue - leans towards green. Ultramarine Deep - leans towards violet.
Two Primary Reds:
Ruby Red - leans towards violet. Japanese Red Deep - leans towards orange.
Flanders Yellow and Prussian Blue
The square of green has: Yellow Green in the top left corner and Blue Green in the bottom right corner.
To make the Secondary colour Orange:
Sahara Yellow and Japanese Red Deep
The square of orange has: Yellow Orange in the top right hand corner and Red Orange in the bottom left hand corner.
Ruby Red and Ultramarine Deep
The square of violet has: Red Violet in the top right hand corner and Blue Violet in the bottom left hand corner.
Copyright Jacqui Blackman © 1999
If we make our Orange as above with Sahara Yellow and Japanese Red Deep, depending how much Red we add we will have an Orange that is Yellow Orange, Orange or Red Orange, in this instance we will aim for
Red Orange. It's opposite on the colour wheel is Prussian Blue. If we now mix these together we will make a neutral colour.
Notice as you look at these three colours, how the orange and blue seem to vibrate as they contrast with each other. Pulling your eyes first to orange then to blue, the colour in the middle, the result of neutralizing the two colours, seeming to be ignored.
To make this neutral colour, we have in actual fact mixed together three Primary colours. Mixing three primary's will give a 'dark' or neutral colour, but the quantity of each colour matters. You could just mix these three primary's together and produce a colour, but in a months time say, will you remember how much of each or just waste paint trying? Whereas to make that Red Orange again is not too hard and by adding Prussian Blue you can make the neutral colour. By using the principals of the colour wheel we have more control over the resultant colour.
This time it's blue violet made from Ruby Red and Ultramarine mixed with Sahara Yellow, again opposite on the colour wheel and only three pigments. Try the different combinations yourself, it's interesting and helpful learning. Titanium White is coming in from top left to show the 'tint' of the new colour. What could the colour be used for? Rusty metal, weathered wood or part of an old stone building, whatever you choose.
From the original six Primary colours we have made six Secondary colours and using just opposites, six neutral colours. If we now bring Black into the mixing process we have even more choices. Ivory Black is very useful, try mixing with each of the Primary colours, you can obtain some very interesting two pigment neutrals. (see Tonal values)
Two Pigment Neutrals:
Japanese Red and Ivory Black will give this, T W coming in top left to show the 'tint'.
Ultramarine Deep and Ivory Black will give this, T W coming in top left to show the 'tint'.
As children we use to play, we played to learn. As adults we don't always play very much, try 'playing' with paint using adult perception to learn. Learn to play then you'll play to learn. It also puts the fun back into what can seem the very serious learning process of colour mixing.
About Making Mud!
It can be very easy to make 'mud', but what is 'mud'? The 'muddy' colour produced is dreary, dirty and drab. One sure way to make 'mud' is to mix too many different pigments together. If we understand what makes 'muddy' colour, then we are part way to understanding how to make clean colour.
In the neutral colour mix above three primary's were used: Sahara Yellow, Japanese Red and Prussian Blue. The colour pigment used in making the tube of paint is shown on the label, represented by the pigment number and chemical name. (for properties of oil paint)
Sahara Yellow = PY65 Azo Yellow; Japanese Red Deep = PR3 Azo Red; Prussian Blue = PB27 Ferric ferrocyanide
If we make this colour using a yellow made with two pigments e.g. an orange and a yellow. A red made with three pigments e.g. two different reds and a violet. A blue made with two pigments e.g. a blue and a green.
If you are finding it easy to make mud, check on the label for the pigment content of your paint and try working with the
thought - less pigments = less mud.
Another point to remember, you may want to add Black or White to the colour you've made - adding more pigments. White is not usually a problem, but Black is often blamed for muddying colours, by using a single pigment black (Ivory/Mars) the chances of this happening are greatly reduced. The argument still goes on about having black on the palette - the choice is yours.

Surrounded by her family, Western Mustangs head coach Brian Cheng, her Transway rep coach Wes Hahn and her high school coaches Dan Meyer and Nick White, Pam Licata signed her official commitment letter to don the purple and white and play basketball for the Western Mustangs.

Coach Cheng said he is very excited to welcome Pam to the team. In November Licata was part of the Highland-Parkside basketball team that qualified for OFSAA. She and the entire team played outstanding and ended up finishing fouth. Following OFSAA, Licata was selected as a member of the Hamilton public all-star basketball team. Coach Cheng came out to watch one of her games and that is when she told him she would play for Western.

"I remember that day, it was my birthday, kind of a birthday present to myself" said Licata. "I wanted to go to Western for health sciences and now I get to play basketball too."

Licata started her basketball career playing for Dundas Dynamo with coaches Ralph Kerekesch and Jim Stewart. In Grade 9 she attended a training camp with an AAA team, run by her current rep coach Wes Hahn and McMaster men's coach Amos Connolly. Coach Hahn asked her to be a member of their team, and he is still coaching her today. Two coaches from Highland-Parkside also played a large role in Licata's achievements — Dan Meyer and Nick White.

"Pam's versatility, competitiveness and willingness to learn make her a strong candidate to be successful in the CIS," said Meyer. "She handles the ball well at her position and is working hard to develop her ability to score from different areas...She has a strong understanding for the game and is able to learn and implement new concepts very quickly."

At least two of her high school teammates are also getting ready for post-secondary ball.

Sarah Macrae will play for the University of Guelph in the fall, and Shanien O'Neill has a number of schools interested.

'The Walking Dead' Season 4 SPOILERS: Daryl and Beth Romance Brewing? New SHOCKING Sneak Peek VIDEOS Hint Daryl Struggling, Baby Judith Alive [WATCH]
Where's Daryl? Is Baby Judith alive? These are just two of the burning questions that fans keep asking after seeing "The Walking Dead" season 4 part 2 premiere.
In episode 10, titled "Inmates," the separated prison group will be searching for "stability and safety" with many more obstacles on the way, according to IBTimes.com.
From the new spoilers, we can see that Daryl is definitely searching for stability and safety. Remember, he's in the woods with Beth, who unsurprisingly is still traumatized after the death of her father Hershel.
"We're really going to be seeing him struggling with whether he can maintain who he's become or is he going to revert back to who he was before," executive producer Robert Kirkman told TV Guide. "Sadly, it looks like Beth is going to be caught in the crossfire."
In a new sneak peek video, we see Daryl and Bath sitting in silence by a fire in the woods.
"We should do something. We aren't the only survivors," Beth continues while Daryl looks like he's in a daze. "We can't be. Rick, Michonne - they can be out here. Maggie and Glenn could have made it out of A Block."
She gets up and says they can try tracking them down, but when she sees he is not responding she storms off:
"Fine, if you won't check I will."
Check out all the video sneak peeks below.
Speaking of Beth and Daryl though, will there be a new romance on "TWD" season 4?
"It's a very unlikely duo," Norman Reedus told TV Guide. "They're getting to know each other on a different level, but not romantically. There are definitely lessons being taught in both directions."
That would be interesting!
In other news, a leaked promo from Fox Latin America reveals Tyreese holding baby Judith, which confirms that she didn't die. Check out the leaked video HERE.
Moviepilot.com said it looks like Tyreese was able to save Judith before the walkers got to her. We know Rick and Carl will definitely be relieved.
Do you think Beth and Daryl make a cute couple and are you happy baby Judith is alive? Sound off below!
Read the episode 9 recap HERE.
Check out the latest "TWD" spoilers HERE.
Episode 10 airs on Sunday, Feb. 16 at 9/8c on AMC.

Ohio State's Braxton Miller was named the Big Ten's offensive player of the week for his performance against California on Saturday.
Against the Golden Bears, Miller passed for 249 yards and four touchdowns and ran for 75 yards and another score.
Miller's early season success (611 passing yards, 377 rushing yards and 12 total touchdowns) has led to some Heisman Trophy speculation.
It's speculation that Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer has pushed aside thus far.
"I don't think he's played well [enough]," Meyer told reporters this week. "Let's put it this way, at some point if he does, I've been asked and I've been lucky enough to have guys go to New York, it's been kind of fun to be part of that and have Heisman candidates. Three or four have been mentioned and all that, and I think at the appropriate time, I won't say he's not.
"I don't believe he is now -- he's not playing well enough yet."
How much better Miller can play won't be put to the test this weekend. On Saturday, the Buckeyes host UAB. The Blazers are 83rd in the FBS in pass defense and 109th in run defense.

yep we do
Yep, all the time.
white wine and mushrooms are always a favorite pairing of mine
Love the bees comment. And yes, a lot!
Where's the "sometimes" option?? Chefs make it seems so easy to splash in some wine...I find it easier to drink it with the meal. ;p
Sure do!
I'm allergic to wine (sulfites), so I rarely have it in the house. But I like cooking with beer - chili, beef stew, bread - it's all good.
haha beesknees; I do, but find it really difficult to know which wine compliments what ingredients unless I have a recipe because I don't drink alcohol recreationally (or at all); I also don't like most alcohol filled/soaked foods except tiramisu and black chocolate gateau
Yes...and sometimes I even put it in the food!

I Haven't Fallen Off The Face(book) Of The Earth
Most of the people I'm friends with on facebook know that I'm pretty good about getting on each day, wishing each of them a happy birthday, liking a nice status or two, etc. Well….I've been on vacation for the past few days, and I really haven't been on the computer much. And I don't own a smartphone…just a little prepaid flip phone. So, happy birthday, if I missed yours. This wasn't an experiment or a challenge to myself to see if I could live without facebook…I just didn't feel like thinking all that much. And to tell you the truth, it's been pretty nice. I'm okay with not knowing why you think our president is a liar, what miracle berry will make me look 20 years younger, or why my food is slowly killing me. No offense, but I'm even okay with not seeing a picture of your dinner or your kid's reaction to that great gift. Just for a few days, anyway. I really do like and appreciate my facebook friends and family, and I'm sure in a few days I'll spend hours trying to catch up with everybody's lives…but, just like anything, I need a vacation from it. So, for a few more days, I think I'll live the computer free simple life…talk to you soon!

I'm a Beast
Friendly Christian has the proof!

My theory is this (bear with me, and resist the temptation to roll your eyes):
7 represents perfection.
3 represents whole, fullness (trinity).
10 represents 7 + 3 (perfection + fullness) = completion.
Completion x 3 (again, fullness) = 1,000 ~ represents us, here on earth.
12 represents the world (time & humanity) (12 months/12 hrs… 12 desciples)
12 x 12 x 1,000 = 144,000 (where did we see that number before?)
Makes sense to me, as crazy as it sounds…
So, along that same line, 666 means none other than "near perfection". Looks like God, walks like God, and talks like God, but is NOT God. Close, but no cigars… But still, it's better than 555, don't you think? You're definitely not a zero, that's for sure… 😉
