Very very down and struggling to cope on my own with 2 small dcs(25 Posts)
My children are 2.5 years and 4 months old and I am on my own with them most of the time due to my partners job, he works abroad for 2-3 weeks at a time. This situation is not going to change under any circumstances. I suffer from bad anxiety at times but only a handful of people close to me know this. I have had many types of drugs and talking therapies over the years which have not really helped.
Basically I am very stressed a great deal of the time. I was very poorly parented myself and have no support. I adore my children but the older one is going through a difficult phase-no doubt normal for his age- and I reay struggling to cope. Everything is a battle against the backdrop of the baby screaming for me and no matter how much i try to remain calm I am not patient enough, have regularly screamed at him and broken down in tears in front of him and I don't think this is right, I am ashamed as this is nothing like the kind of parent I want to be and not helping his behaviour. I am starting to hate myself.
I really, really, really do not want to discuss this with my gp. I just need to know that I am not a bad person who is damaging my kids and where do I turn and deal with the shame of admitting I am finding the stress of dealing with stuff alone unbearable whilst being patronised by some hcp who has never been in my shoes.
I need to be able to cope better as my head is done im and I have daily migraines and chronic insomnia due to how stressed I feel. I feel like a shit mother and person and that my kids deserve better.
Sorry if this is unreasonable but I don't want to go to the dr about this I just need to know that I'm not as alone as I feel.
Hi Mrsibley sorry you're feeling so bad. You're not alone - there are many posters on here who struggle as you describe. I know you don't want to go to gp about that, but would you consider going re your migraines and insomnia? Each of those make being a mum to 2 small dc hard, let alone together and with dh away a lot. Do you have a health visitor or sure start Centre you could use? They can often be good places for support too. Be kind to yourself x
Thanks for replying. I have all the medication I want or need for the physical side. I am just terrified I am damaging my son and don't know how to break this cycle of stress that makes me lose my temper and feel so unwell.
I don't think there are sure start centres around here. I just need another adult in the house but that's not going to happen.
You are not alone. I found 2 small children extremely hard work and was living on the edge for a long time and I have a husband who is not away for 2 -3 weeks (although he did work long hours). I really did find it overwhelming at times. I also think that when my youngest was 3 or 4 months old (oldest would have been 2.2) the hardest stage. It was just awful and felt so guilty for not finding things easy, like everyone else seemed to do.
If you can, it might help to try and take back some control and implement a routine if you haven't done this already. This helped me to focus a bit on meeting the basics for me and the children such as sleeping and eating! I also tried to get outside every day for a walk.I'll admit this was torture sometimes with baby yelling in pram and toddler sitting in puddles but was good for all of us overall. Would your dh take them out for a bit when he is back at home? Perhaps you can arrange for him to take to park/soft play and you can look forward to this and spend some time alone or doing something just for you. I have found that things got better - mine are 2.5 & 4 now and I really do feel better and an ok mum most days!
Hi - I would think any parent with two children those ages and a partner abroad will struggle. I would think if you were able to go to parent and toddler groups, most parents would admit the same!!
I second going to your local children's centre (a sure start) - each area has one, so you can ask your health visitor where your nearest one is, if you are in England that is. They have outreach workers for families that are struggling, so you could fill in a referral form for help from your children's centre. You could also self refer or get your health visitor to refer you to homestart - which can provide you with an actual adult in the home for 2hrs a week. A friend of mine used homestart, and had an adult there just to hold one baby whilst she hoover around, or had a cup of tea and chat etc. The homestart do not look after a child without you there, or do housework but are a physical adult in your house in England, does not involve your gp and is free!!
Also sure start centres (if not one right where you are, there will be a larger one somewhere nearer you that does lots of things) have parenting classes, support groups etc - all sorts of things.
One thing I do to help (I only have one baby!) is to have a routine of getting out of the house. I found lots of activities to do - lots of sure starts have things and larger churches seem to have almost free (and non religious) baby and toddler group!! You may find lots of willing helpers there just desperate to coo over your youngest (and hold if that helps you!!) - I did!! I am not sure of how easy it is for you to get out, but I found my car my friend!!
So - am sure if you look on the internet you can find your nearest children's centre, phone them up and go and talk to someone there!! Just tell them you have 2 young children under 3, husband is abroad and no family or friends to support and see what they can do. No need to mention anything else.
Do you have any friends or family that could visit occasionally and be helpful?
Oh - the other thing I thought of, can your oldest go to a pre-school for a few sessions? My nearest takes them for 3 half days at 2.5yrs. Have to pay but it is not as much as a private nursery. When your oldest is 3yrs old, the term after they turn 3, you get in England at least (don't know of other areas) funding for about 16hrs nursery a week in term time. You can use that at a pre-school, or at a childcare provider - does knowing that help? Then you would only have one at home much of the time and oldest will be kept busy etc!!
For some people there is some funding available for nursery places for 2yr olds, but I don't know of the criteria - saw info about it at the place where I go to weigh my baby!
Finances are never easy with young children, but was talking to my dh tonight and we said if we were ever blessed with a 2nd (not likely as needed ivf for 1!) I would have to manage somehow to have 2 days a week of oldest one in a nursery in order to cope (no family, no helpful friends here either!!) - as I know I couldn't do it on my own. Could you consider even one day a week with ds in childcare to help? A local childminder or nursery so not having to go too far with the baby??
My oldest goes to nursery as I was working til recently. It helps but I still can't control my reactions to his behaviour when he is with me. I'm a joke.
There are no sure start centres here. I don't live in England.
In my experience no one really admits to getting this stressed with their kids and I find it extremely isolating.
I do get out with them every day it's just the endless battles about every day stuff eg hysteria over teeth brushing for example, the refusal to do anything i say and the fact that he is delightful with other people- normal i know but childishly i find very tough on my self esteem- that I don't know how to handle and I'm so worn down by it all.
I also can't bloody stand mother and toddler groups right now as I do feel like the only person this stressed even if this isn't really the case, I haven't the energy for the others
Mothers and the faces everyone has to put on.
I am disgusted that I have let my little boy see me so upset and told him to shut up etc when lost my temper I don't think that's acceptable yet something just keeps snapping and i keep on fucking up.
You need to take steps to reduce your stress. It will get better with time, really it will, but while you are waiting you need to try and think of a few positive steps to implement to make your life easier and reduce your stress levels. Can you pick your battles more? Toothbrushing is always a nightmare! We try: singing songs, looking for exotic animals hiding in her mouth, giving her choice of cleaning teeth before or after bath, picking her own new toothbrush, worrying aloud 'what will the dentist say?' We adopt these in rotation and most of the time she will capitulate. It is really wearing though to have to endlessly negotiate. I try and offer choices that enable me to get what I want but still give her a sense of control i.e. Do you want to wear your blue jumper or your purple jumper? Sometimes I will get 'no! I not want my jumper nooooooo!' but sometimes I get 'blue on' she puts it on and off we go. Try not to take 'bad' behavior personally, other than to realuse that your ds clearly feels able to test boundaries with you which is a good thing (for him) and a frustrating thing for you!
You are right that the behavior you describe is perfectly normal for a 2.5 year old but that probably doesnt help!
Thank you for the suggestions about the tooth brushing which sounds so trivial yet drives me insane amd always ends on tears (both of us tonight)and you are right in what you say I have to figure out how to reduce my stress. I just have so little patience and find it incredibly hard going trying to keep the baby even fed let alone give her any attention whilst constantly battling with my son and trying to run this house single handedly on not much sleep and keeping aid on my anxiety.
Of course it is not ideal to shout at your kids but 2 small dcs is hard and you are human. It is fine to show emotion in front of your children but make it healthy. I think it is ok to say 'oh mummy is fed up and frustrated today! It makes me sad! I will have a little cry and then I will have a think about how I can cheer us all up.' then give him a big hug. You dont need to blame or feel guilty it is normal and natural to have the feelings you do in the circumstances you are in but try and set a healthy example to your kids of how an adult deals with difficult feelings.
Three little words that helped me were "lower your standards". I did wonder if my standards could get any lower as I felt like such a crap mum but actually when I thought about it it was possible for me to see where I was trying too hard and maybe expecting too much too soon and tring to be perfect when in fact 'good enough' would do. I was setting myself up for a fall and continually pissed iff that I didnt meet the standad I had set for myself. But I did have the luxury of a dh at home at night who could do dishes/put a load of washing on/do a night feed or 2 so sorry if this sounds patronising or trite - it is not meant to be I remember that time well and have sworn never to let my dds go through that phase alone.
Thanks ladies I use the phrase choose your battles on a daily basis and totally believe that parenting is usually a gradual process of standard lowering- this is why I have had to pretty much give up breast feeding my dd (heartbreaking as she is my last baby and I bfed her brother. It's why i give her very little individual attention and I let my des watch tv all morning even tho I don't want him to as his dad has got him in this habit on the rare occasions that he has him alone in the mornings. This is why my house is generally such a mess I can't have people round and my son regularly goes to bed having refused dinner.
Do you just let them not brush their teeth? Am worried Bout the consequences of this.
Am also toilet training and ds refuses to co operate with it with me- fine at nursery etc, but yesterday peed on sofa with potty right next to him, swore blind he didn't need to pee then had huge pee in potty after much coercion and immediately emptied it on the floor and had a tantrum.
Please don't get me wrong - none of this is the end of the world and I am well aware that people have much, much more difficult kids. In fact written down this all sounds ridiculously trivial but when ds was a baby I had a bit of a breakdown for various reasons and when you are an anxious person you crave some kind of control to make you feel safe. I get so frustrated with myself for getting so wound up, although I do apologise to ds if I scream at him.
I guess I just needed to hear that I'm not alone in this struggle and the effect on my mental health and that this stress won't lead to a break down this time.
Midgeymum2 my mum is dead and would never have helped me anyway and I feel the same I would never let my daughter be alone with all of this.
Feel stupid now for whingeing. Yesterday I had been up since 4am and really struggled to stay awake at certain points and it just scares me how alone I am.
Good morning, how are you feeling today? I've seen a thread on here (i think in parenting) titled 'has patenting affected your mental health?' - I think it is on it's 2nd thread so no you are far from alone. It is well worth a read.
I do try and make sure that teeth are brused yes. Looking at the bigger picture it is better a few tears at bed time than a lifetime of bad teeth but there are ways and means and if it does turn into a battle perhaps do it before bath so its not the last thing before bed and the day ends on a low for both of you. Perhaps your dentist might have some tips? Mine had free samples of fruity toothpaste which worked for a bit.
Can you put off potty training for a while? My oldest wasnt trained till 3 (she did it herself really and was quick and dry overnight too) so will be in no rush to faff about with dd2. Nursery have asked me if I am thinking of training and I just say 'no'. Im sure she'll be readier ina few months when shes closer to 3 as well.
Also mine both watched far more than recommended tv when dd2 was born. It was very cold winter of 2010 and we are very rural I found that hard I got such cabin fever but now both seem fine and quite 'normal' I guess time will tell! But what was the alternative? Possibly some sort of breakdown as you say - which is more damaging? Just my take on it though. I remember getting through a day at a time or an hour at a time or even a minute at a time. But it has got better.
Hope today is a good day.
hi mrsibley, sorry if i repeat anything - i havent read through the whole thread (head ache making it hard to concentrate) your youngest is 4mths? you may have PND? i had it after the birth of my DC's and i found everything unbearable!
what is it about going to the GP that worries you? they can help, give you suggestions, medication to take the edge off things.
looking after children is tough and we all struggle wether we admit it or not.
dont put yourself down, you are deffinately not alone. no one will call you a bad mum. i struggle everyday and have guilt that i cant be a better mum than i wanted, i often think they deserve better, wish that i can do more etc.. we on here understand - even if its just a conversation you need. were here listening x
Hi there. I got a better sleep last night and ds on nursery so today is a bit better thank you. There was a moment when my headache started and my son was making a huge fuss about getting dressed and the baby was crying earlier when I felt the fear/ uncontrollable stress starting but got past it.
I should explain I am on medication for sleep/ anxiety and I do not have pnd I just do not cope well with stress physically or mentally right now. I don't want to sound like a martyr but I have recently clawed my way out of the mental health system and am actually in the process of trying to find the time to make a formal complaint about stuff that happened with the psychiatric service I would be referred back to if I saw the gp. I do not want medical attention I want to learn to not lose my temper so much if that makes sense.
I am taking some of the advice above and going to take ds to get a fancy new toothbrush and special tooth paste this afternoon. I can't really stop the toilet training at this stage as when its not just me and him he does well.
I just get so so down when I think I am failing my kids because I was failed by my parents. Am also quite lonely even though I can't actually be bothered with other people so it all becomes a bit of a cycle. I reach rock bottom when I haven't slept enough.
Lack of sleep is awful. I cope so much better after a good night of even a few hours unbroken sleep.
I think that if you are worried enough to question your parenting ability, you are probably a good parent. A bad parent wouldnt care about all the things that are worrying you.
I know what you mean about not having the energy to put a face on for mum and toddler groups. And not wanting anyone to come round because the house is a tip. And then the crushing guilt that youre not coping...I dont think I had pnd I was 'just' exhausted and lonely and felt emotionally isolated from the rest of the planet.
You sound very positive about your mental health which is great. Is there any way that your dh could take the dcs for a day when he's back in the uk and you can have some time to yourself?
I hope the new toothbrush and toothpaste work! Good luck!
ok, sorry to hear your experience with the services was bad. i think there are people on here who have used the psychiatric services - would it help to talk about it? im awaiting myself but someone else may come along who can relate to you?
there might be some books on stress control? on info on the net?
i can relate to feeling alone. i too feel isolated but cant bear a conversation! just want to be by myself but then get abit down when i see neighbours with visitors - messed up ay?! my parents failed me too, no affection towards me, not the best childhood. now i have my own kids i find it hard to hug and show affection to them.
im sorry if none of this is helping, hopefully some one with more experience could help.
Mouses it does help just to get this off my chest so thank you. I have had terrible depression in the past and I just feel that this is stress and exhaustion rather than pnd.
Yes my dp will take them to let me have a day off when he is home and that is great but as you know it's the day to day stuff that builds up- I just want someone to feed the baby whilst I bath him or stuff like that sometimes.
Anyway it's a new day, a new week, a new month x
you're not alone. some things that might help managing stress what's particularly good is the quizzes, especially the one on coping skills. I have found it helpful to pinpoint where the stress is coming from.
you don't want to go to groups - I'm guessing partly because you don't want people to know you aren't coping but also because your stress makes you avoid talking to people because you've got so much going on already. trust me there are others out there like you. my DD is a little older than yours and DH doesn't work away but otherwise I could have written your posts.
something else that's helping me is this CD I'm also trying to practice mindful breathing - I think the key is to learn how to relax and physically make yourself do it.
You may also want to have a look at your emotional needs - I suspect they are not being met and that's why you are struggling.
one more thing I am sensing from your posts is that you want to be a certain kind of parent but in times of stress the way you were parented kind of 'pops' out before you've had a chance to get your brain in gear. I can really relate to this and I think if you try and go easier on yourself and start getting your needs met you will find it easier to control.
I hope there are some things there that will help. I'm going to try and find the time to PM you if my DCs stay asleep, I think we have a lot in common
If it is the practical stuff that help would make the difference with would you consider an au pair for a few months or possible some paid help, like a mother's help. Know money is involved but just thinking of strategies that may help.
Having raised a formal complaint myself against mental health services ( they said my word against them, lost important pieces of paper, etc etc and made it as stressful as possible over 8 months!) all I can say is if it takes up a lot of energy for you to do I hope it help.
Do you have health visitors where you are? If so why not tell her what you need help with. They may have resources? Ideas? It is either the NHS or private if no friends or family sadly.
hoophopes I am under illusion whatsoever that making a complaint will get me anywhere or that the MH services will take any responsibity I simply want stuff on record so that if anyone else complains about the same thing they can't say it was a one off. I have no energy to get into any Lind of battle and am aware that medical people close ranks a d deny things I just want a complaint on record as the way I witnessed other people being treated was worse than myself as well.
nicecupoftea I am trying to find the time to respond to your pm properly. Thanks x
You're way, way too hard on yourself. Many people don't understand just how difficult it is with zero support. You're doing a great job by just getting up every day and muddling through (I'm not kidding). I have totally been where you are and still find myself there some days with a 2 yr old and a 6 month old. But it gets better I promise. My mum died when I was very small and I was physically/emotionally abused by my Dad and his wife. I have realised that the only person putting unbearable pressure on me to be the perfect Mum (to make up for my own crappy childhood) was myself. Kids don't care if the house is a state.
Don't be scared about going to the GP or any other local support group/charity or whatever you can find. Best thing I ever did was to start going to counselling. Maybe think about asking your GP to refer you? I totally get you on the mums group front too. I've found that a focal point really helps (like a diddi dance class or baby music) because it's too busy for you to worry about small talk and it gets you out of the house. Best of luck xx
I have come to the conclusion that yes I am too hard on myself. I recommend anyone who feels like I do should read the "has parenthood affected your mental health?" thread in _Chat on here. God the relief I feel from reading that.
I think that finding this all very stressful is maybe not in fact a mental illness it is a rational reaction to very very challenging circumstances. I know the mental health systems reaction to this stress inside out and I really want no part of it this time.
Many thanks for speaking to me ladies x
Just to chime in I have DS1 26mo and DD1 12 weeks WITH lots of support from DH and family and still struggling - mostly with my mental health. Just wanted you to know it's not just you.

It happens every year. No matter how early you start, or how organized your list is, there are always a few gifts that you can't seem to fill until the last-minute. Unfortunately all of your regular online retailers' Christmas delivery guarantees expired days ago, and like hell you're paying $19.99 to ship your Grandma's sweater Next Day Air.
So, as every year before it, you drudge out into the elements of weather and crowded malls filled with panicked holiday shoppers. You're left picking through the scraps – these aren't the gifts no one else wanted to buy, those are all gone as well – no, you're left with the items that show up at places like TJ Maxx a few months later for half price. A holiday flask set. A travel grooming kit. If you're really lucky you might find a calendar with a focus your giftee has a remote interest in.
Do yourself, and those you're last-minute shopping for, a favor and declare, "Not this year." We've got two super-easy Do It Yourself gift ideas that anyone will love – and you only have to head to the grocery store.
Homemade Spicy Rub
Perfect for every guy on your list, from your grandfather, brother-in-law, or girlfriend's father, every man loves to grill meat. If you're unaware of the incredible taste benefits rubs offer grilled meat, check out our intro to dry and wet rubs. This rub makes awesome chicken, beef, or anything else you can think to throw it on, making it versatile no matter what your giftee's grilling specialty is. (Plus, you'll have a bunch of great spices left over to make your own rubs, win!)
- 1/2 cup salt (plain, kosher, or sea)
- 1/3 cup coarse black pepper
- 1/2 cup paprika
- 1 tbsp mustard powder
- 2 tbsp dried onion flakes
- 1 tbsp cayenne powder
- 1 tbsp celery salt or ground celery seeds
- 2 tbsp garlic powder
↓ Instructions
Find an air-tight container or small mason jar at the store (or in the back of your cupboard if you have to). Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and pour them in your container. That. Is. Literally. It.
Homemade Hot Cocoa
You know who loves hot chocolate? Scratch that. Do you know anyone who doesn't like hot chocolate? It's chocolate milk, hot, with marshmallows in it. Thinking of it that way you can give this to anyone. Need another gift for your girlfriend, mom, brother's kids, grandma, whoever? Homemade hot chocolate. The person can make it right after opening it, and it pleases every time. Add 1/4 cup of the finished cocoa mix to hot milk.
- 2 cups skim-milk powder
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- Optional: candy cane
↓ Instructions
Use a similar air-tight container or mason jar. This recipe creates 1 quart of mix. Combine all powder ingredients, mixing them well. Use a sieve if you know what one is and have one. Finally, mix in mini marshmallows. To take this recipe up a notch, add 3 tablespoons of crushed candy cane to make Peppermint Hot Cocoa.
Now, so the giftee has some idea of what this stuff is, create a simple label out of a file folder. Find some extra twine and ribbon lying around and wrap it around the container, using it to hold the label in place. You may want to mention on the hot chocolate label that one serving is 1/4 cup. Boom. Christmas presents.

My Ride: '05 330i ZHP
View My Garage
Well, in the event my car is totaled, here is what I'm going to try to pick up:
Here is some info on the car:
"125xxx I performed the rebuild myself I don't like other people doing my work don't really trust others about 7,000 since rebuild the suspension is in great condition new m3 bushings and lowering springs the flywheel and clutch are stock they were in great shape so I didn't replace them but I'm actually thinking about putting in a new clutch very soon.the clutch is still in great shape but the throw out bearing is starting to make noise so that's on my list it has dinan chip k&n filter also with exhaust (quiet) no rust on shock towers shocks are great also new ball joints alignment control arms it also has every alpina badge and looks.....last time i checked guibo looked ok (8months ago)...brakes and wheel bearings are good the only wiring issue I've noticed is the temp gauge likes to jump and move back n forth if you tap on the speedo it jumps around its a common problem"
Sounds pretty good to me. If my car gets totaled, I'll see about getting a PPI on that car. It would be sweet to buy back my car, pull the motor and drop her into the E30, but I'd take the car as is.
Only thing I have to figure out is how I'm going to manage securing a loan on it. :\ Anyone have any tips?
My sig is bad. I feel bad.

Deere Capitalizes as Euro Crisis Drops Bond Rates
Another flare up of the Euro crisis has sent investors back to the safety of the U.S. bond markets, which has helped U.S. borrowers like Deere & Co. sell debt at record low interest rates.
U.S. Treasury yields had been trending up in March, as investors became more confident in the economic recovery and began shifting money to riskier assets. However, worries about Spain's sovereign debt reversed that trend, pushing Treasury yields down, and consequently making corporate debt cheaper, explained Andrew Karp, head of investment-grade syndication at Bank of America Merrill Lynch.

"The Young Riders"
This series about Pony Express agents was shot at Old Tucson and Mescal in the late 1980s.
"High Chaparral"
Shot at Old Tucson, it tells the story of Big John Cannon, who along with his family aimed to establish a cattle empire on his High Chaparral ranch near Tucson. The show, which aired from 1967 to 1971, also did location work in Tombstone, Tubac, Nogales, Oracle and elsewhere in Arizona.
In the show, which aired in the late '70s, lawyer Tony Petrocelli lived in the fictional town of San Remo, but it's plain to see that it was filmed in and around Tucson.
This long-running comedy was filmed on a Burbank, Calif, soundstage, but waitress Alice Hyatt allegedly worked at a greasy spoon in Phoenix called Mel's Diner.
"The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin"
The dog and his orphaned owner, Rusty, were adopted by cavalry soldiers at Fort Apache, Ariz., during the 1800s. Filmed in California, the show aired in the 1950s.

Serkis & McKellen On Board For Hobbit
So says Guillermo Del Toro
Now that the worst kept secret in Hollywood is official, i.e. that Guillermo Del Toro is directing The Hobbit and its follow-up, the director is now free to speak about just what he has planned for the Lord of the Rings prequel. Del Toro took the time to speak to fan site TheOneRing.Net over the weekend and revealed a couple of details.
Most encouraging was that he's got Ian McKellen and Andy Serkis all but signed to return as Gandalf and Gollum respectively. Del Toro told us previously that he wanted all the relevant cast members back, but he now says, "I had the most charming meeting with Sir Ian, and all bureaucracy pending, he's on board, as is Andy Serkis".
Another thing he also discussed briefly was the second film, which is going to be an almost entirely invented chronicle of the time between The Hobbit and Fellowship of the Ring. The script isn't written yet, obviously, so Del Toro couldn't give details, but he did say:
"I traveled to New Zealand just a little while ago, and one of the main reasons for going was to sit down and talk about the second film. 'The Hobbit', the book, is really one self-contained film, so for the second movie we sat down and worked it out. When we did this we got really excited because this second film is not a 'tag on', it's not 'filler', it's an integral part of telling the story of those 50 years of history lost in the narrative. There will be certain things that we will see from the first movie but from a different point of view, but it will feel like a volume, in the 5 volumes of the entire story. It will not feel like a bridge, I've been hearing it called 'a bridge film', it's not, it's an integral chapter of the story, and I think we're all on the same page."
There was also one other small point that gladdened our hearts, which had absolutely nothing to do with plot. It was this sentence: "The only thing I will be pushing for more in these films than the other three are full animatronics and animatronic creatures enhanced with CGI, as opposed to CGI creatures themselves. "
The effects in Lord of the Rings were, for the most part, excellent, but no matter how good CGI is, it will never have the charm of animatronics. You can say that animatronics are, on the whole, less convincing than CGI, but really sophisticated animatronics can be just as believable (look at Del Toro's other films) and even less than perfect animatronics have more warmth than slightly dodgy pixel work. A great big robotic Smaug? Bring it on.

Exploring the syntactic skills of struggling adult readers
- First Online:

- 370 Downloads
This study investigated the syntactic ability of 82 struggling adult readers who recognize words between the third and fifth grade levels. Analysis of the adults' performance on the TOLD-I:3 indicated that they were deficient on the syntactic task. Correlations found the struggling adult readers' oral language skills, written language skills, and reading comprehension skills to be related. A regression analyses indicated that the adults' syntactic knowledge did not individually predict reading comprehension, however their other oral language skills did. The findings of this study suggest that the adults performed similar to children who are either learning to read or considered poor readers. This study also contributes to the adult literacy field by providing exploratory information on an area (syntax and struggling adult readers) that is lacking.

For Christians, this week is building to the central drama of their faith -- Jesus is betrayed, crucified and resurrected.
So, no surprise, there's a whole lot of ink today on Judas, the traitorous follower who gave history the terrible image of the "kiss of death" with his signal to the guards who arrest Jesus in the Biblical narrative.
And there's the annual pre-Easter pop-culture dust-up. This year it's Lady Gaga's new single, Judas. USA TODAY's Lifeline Live coverage noted self-appointed Catholic culture czar William Donohue's conniption about Gaga.
Rev. James Martin, culture editor for America magazine was a bit more tempered about the ill-timed song. Martin says,
Lady Gaga is showing her love of the "bad boy," which is a tradition almost as old as the Gospels. But singing a love song to Judas makes you wonder about her feelings toward the other guy, Jesus.
And while I enjoy Lady Gaga's music, she wouldn't be the first person I would go to for Scripture commentary. Maybe I expected something else from a graduate of the Convent of the Sacred Heart. Especially at Easter.
Martin is well studied on Judas. In 2004, he was the theological consultant for a troop of actors for the play, The Last Days of Judas Iscariot by Stephen Adly Guirgis. Martin wrote about the experience in his book, A Jesuit on Broadway: Center Stage with Faith, Doubt, Forgiveness and more.
As Martin and the actors and staff tease out the meanings of this critical moment in Christian history, he finally turned to a scholar that may have the explanation that makes the most sense of the betrayal. The late William Barclay, professor of divinity at Glasgow University, wrote that:
Judas was trying to force Jesus's hand, to get him to act in a decisive way. Perhaps, he suggests, Judas expected the arrest would prompt Jesus to reveal himself as the long-awaited Messiah by overthrowing the Roman occupiers. Barclay noted that none of the other traditional explanations (for example, greed, disillusionment, jealousy) explain why Judas would have been so shattered after the crucifixion that he committed suicide. In other words, only if Judas had expected a measure of good to come from his actions would suicide make any sense."
If you just want to brush up on your Holy Week info, you can hit the two-minute video at Busted Halo for a Catholic view or check out an evangelical essay at Christianity Today.
DO YOU HAVE A THEORY... for why the Bible gives us this story of Judas' betrayal? Was it essential to the story of Christ's sacrificial death? Was it a hidden way to blame others, a root of anti-Semitism? (Remember, Faith & Reason is not an attack zone -- all views, respectfully presented, are welcome.)

Modernising the regulation of valuers
Modernising the regulation of valuers
Proposed changes to the regulation scheme for valuers will better position it to meet current demands, Land Information Minister Michael Woodhouse said today.
The proposals are detailed in the 'Review of the Occupational Regulation of Valuers' discussion document released today by Land Information New Zealand (LINZ).
"The current occupational regulation scheme for valuers was established by the Valuers Act 1948, making it one of the oldest schemes in the country," Mr Woodhouse says.
"While the scheme still works fundamentally well, there is room for improvement and for modernisation to better reflect the current environment – something that is recognised by both the government and the New Zealand Institute of Valuers (NZIV).''
As such, LINZ – which administers the Act – began a review in 2013 in consultation with NZIV and a range of stakeholders.
"That work identified issues in a number of areas – including governance, the disciplinary process, sanctions, and renewal of registration. These, and proposals to address them, are detailed in the document released today.
"LINZ is seeking feedback on these proposals to modernise the occupational regulation scheme – which, in turn, will ensure that the public can continue to have confidence in the valuation profession.''
People have until 26 August 2014 to comment on the proposals.
More information and instructions on how to make a submission can be found in the 'Review of the Occupational Regulation of Valuers' discussion document.

Kerry: Prolonged Political Crisis in Washington Could Weaken US
October 05, 2013 9:52 AM
The top U.S. diplomat warned Saturday a prolonged political crisis in Washington could weaken the U.S. globally.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said he does not think that will happen. But he said if the partial government shutdown "were prolonged or repeated," people would begin to question the country's ability to "stay the course."
Kerry, speaking at the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation forum (at Nusa Dua) on the island of Bali in Indonesia, said the U.S. government shutdown is a "momentary episode."
Meanwhile, the U.S. political stalemate over a partial government shutdown entered its fifth day Saturday. The Republican-controlled House of Representatives is again set to consider piecemeal funding for individual agencies, but the Democratic-run Senate has rebuffed the effort and called for overall funding legislation to reopen the government.
U.S. President Barack Obama said in his weekly address Saturday that Republicans should not hold the U.S. democracy or economy "hostage over a settled law" they do not like. The president was referring to his signature health care reforms, popularly known in the U.S. as Obamacare, that are now taking effect.
Mr. Obama and his Republican opponents in Congress remain deadlocked on the shutdown that has furloughed more than 800,000 government workers - about a third of the federal work force - and halted numerous government services.
Mr. Obama tried to highlight the impact on furloughed workers Friday by visiting a local sandwich shop that was offering discounts to out-of-work government employees. Before ordering lunch for himself and Vice President Joe Biden, Mr. Obama urged Speaker John Boehner, leader of the Republican-controlled House, to allow a vote on a bill to reopen the government without conditions.
Until now, Republicans have been unwilling to approve a budget unless it amends or delays the health care changes.
"This shutdown could be over today. We know there are the votes for it in the House of Representatives, and as I said yesterday (Thursday), if Speaker Boehner will simply allow that vote to take place, we can end this shutdown."
Earlier, Boehner and other House Republicans demanded that Democrats negotiate changes in the law, which is now taking full effect.
"This isn't some damn game. The American people don't want their government shut down, and neither do I. All we're asking for is to sit down and have a discussion and to bring fairness, reopen the government, and bring fairness to the American people under Obamacare."
Democrats in the House said they will use a parliamentary maneuver to try to force a vote on a funding bill to end the shutdown, but would need some Republican support to carry out the plan. Such a vote could not occur before October 14, just days before the U.S. must increase its $16.7 trillion borrowing limit or run out of money to pay its bills.
Mr. Obama said he is happy to negotiate with Republicans and Boehner on "a whole range of issues," but not - in the president's words - "with a gun held to the head of the American people."
Republicans in the House Friday approved several bills to fund targeted programs, such as disaster assistance and nutrition programs for the poor.
Congress is also considering legislation that would assure retroactive paychecks to the furloughed federal employees.
One analyst, University of Michigan business professor Erik Gordon, told VOA he thinks both Mr. Obama and his Republican opponents will have to compromise on their policy goals if a default is to be avoided.
"I think at the last minute there will be some compromise because neither side can afford to be seen by the public as being intransigent. So the Republicans will have to give up and say, OK, we'll settle for fewer tax cuts than we asked for and the president is going to have to say, I'm going to make some bigger reductions than I said I would make, because neither side can afford to have the blame pinned on them. They will move together and learn to live with each other one more time."
Federal workers classified as essential employees, such as air traffic controllers, Border Patrol agents and many food inspectors, continue to work, as do many in the U.S. broadcasting services, including VOA.

Sustainability Report 2013/14
Year in Review
Q: Ford is growing faster than ever in terms of new product introductions. How does Ford's "Blueprint for Sustainability" guide this work?
A: Our One Ford plan continues to deliver. An important part of our One Ford plan is accelerating development of new products our customers want and value. We are working to serve customers in all markets with a full family of vehicles – small, medium and large cars; utilities and trucks – each delivering top quality, fuel efficiency, safety, smart design and value. In support of that goal, we are introducing 23 new or significantly refreshed vehicles in 2014, double the number of launches in 2013.
Our commitment to serving customers with fuel-efficient vehicles and addressing the critical issue of climate change are part of our Blueprint for Sustainability. One of our company's core values is contributing to building a better world everywhere Ford operates, and our commitment to sustainability is a key part of that contribution. The Blueprint laid the foundation for our "power of choice" strategy, offering customers the power to choose a fuel-efficient vehicle that best fits their needs. We offer customers a full lineup of powertrain options, including gas, diesel, hybrid, plug-in hybrid and full battery electric vehicles. Our fuel-efficient EcoBoost® engine technology is equipped on more than 2 million Ford vehicles on the road today!
Ford is growing rapidly in emerging markets. What are some of the opportunities you see in places like China and India?
We are very excited to be growing profitably so we can better serve customers in all markets, including China and India. We had a record year in our Asia Pacific region, with wholesale volume increasing 30 percent in 2013, and 2014 is off to a strong start. Our strong global performance was led by Focus, which was the best-selling nameplate in the world in 2013. Focus was joined by Fiesta to give Ford two of the top five best-selling nameplates worldwide. To continue fulfilling our commitment to global growth we aim to boost our sales to nearly 8 million vehicles by the middle of this decade. We also are planning to make a full third of our sales in Asia and Africa by 2020.
What new product directions are you especially excited about?
We are working to serve our customers with the freshest lineup, and that commitment gives us the opportunity to continuously improve our quality, fuel efficiency, safety, smart design and value. The all-new Ford F-150 – with its use of advanced materials like high-strength steel in the frame and high-strength, military-grade aluminum alloy in the body – is a fantastic example of how we are innovating to deliver on our Blueprint for Sustainability.
What role have Ford employees played in Ford's turnaround, and what role do they play in taking the company into the future?
We are so proud of what we have accomplished. Ford always has attracted the best and the brightest, and our progress shows the power of a skilled and motivated team working together. We remain fully committed to implementing our One Ford plan and holding ourselves and each other accountable for our expected behaviors, which include respecting, listening to, helping and appreciating one another. The future of Ford is very bright because we are building on a strong foundation.
Are you concerned that young people – the so-called millennials – are showing less interest in car ownership than previous generations?
People everywhere appreciate the freedom that comes with mobility, and that is why we are accelerating the implementation of Henry Ford's compelling vision of opening the highways to all mankind. Part of that vision means exploring new models of transportation – including car sharing and multi-mode transportation – that might appeal more to millennials. It will take creativity to solve the challenge of global gridlock, and we are innovating to be part of the solution.

Man and the Machines
December 30, 2004
It's time to start thinking about how we might grant legal rights to computers.

The plausibility of this occurrence is an extremely touchy subject in the artificial intelligence field….

Hardware raid should _NEVER_ throw an IO error if the raid container is still alive. If it does, either the raid controller is broken or in this case there might have been a 2nd disk gone and thus it restults in a IO error.
The hardware raid controller presents itself as a virtual device and the sectors you are referring to are not actual disk sectors.
I am afraid we cannot help you. Cheers -- Seth It might just be your lucky day, if you only knew.

Shedding Holiday Pounds
The Holiday Season is upon us. As many of us know all too well, Holidays and weight gain can go hand-in-hand. While exercising away those extra pounds is typically the right thing to do, for those who are conceiving, exercise habits need to be tempered a bit.
My colleague Philip Chenette, MD was kind enough to share his insights on this issue:
Before you jump on that bicycle, be aware that there is considerable debate about the impact of exercise on fertility. A sudden and extreme change in your diet or work out regimen can have hidden consequences. Too strenuous exercise can lower estrogen levels and suppress the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, leading to irregular ovulation. Some women who exercise vigorously cease menstruating and ovulating all together.
In fact, because the research on even moderate exercise has been inconclusive, some reproductive endocrinologists advise their female patients to avoid all exercise that brings the heart rate above 110 beats per minute. This pretty much rules out jogging, aerobics and biking but not necessarily yoga and weight lifting.
Both women and men need some body fat in order to reproduce. (Although overweight women experience more hormonal imbalances because excess weight can cause excessive production of estrogen.) Body Mass Index measures the ideal level. Women who have a BMI of between 20 and 25 are most fertile.
As far as the male factor, the most important thing to remember is that sperm are very sensitive to heat. Taking saunas and hot tubs are enjoyable side benefits at many exercise clubs, but these heated conditions can greatly diminish healthy sperm counts. Bicycling is the main sport that is best avoided by men who want to maintain optimal conditions for reproduction.

HOUSTON (AP) An animal rights group says Alicia Silverstone appears naked in a television ad promoting vegetarianism that was to debut Wednesday in Houston.
The 30-second ad was to air about two dozen times in Houston on Wednesday, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals said.
PETA said Houston was picked for the commercial's launch because it is often high on lists of cities with unhealthy eating habits. Houston was named the sixth-fattest city in the nation by Men's Fitness magazine this year.
Silverstone is shown emerging from a swimming pool and talking about the benefits of being a vegetarian. She obscures the view of her body with her arms as she gets out of the pool, PETA said.
"I wasn't always a vegetarian, but I've always loved animals," the 30-year-old actress said in a statement. "Physically, the effect has been amazing."
Silverstone's screen credits include Clueless and Batman & Robin.

Creator of rainbows,
come through the closed doors
Of our emotions, mind and imagination;
come alongside us as we walk,
come to us at work and worship,
come to our meetings and councils,
come and call us by name,
call us to pilgrimage.
Wounded healer,
out of our dis-unity
may we be re-membered,
out of the pain of our division
may we see your glory.
Call us from present
to future community.
Spirit of Unity,
challenge our preconceptions,
enable us to grow in love and understanding,
accompany us on our journey together,
that we may go out with confidence
into your world as a new creation—
one body in you,
that the world may believe.

Gender Pay Gap Is Smallest on Record
September 17, 2010
The earnings gap between men and women has shrunk to a record low, partly because many women are prospering in the new economy and partly because men have been hit hard by the recession, says USA Today.
- Women earned 82.8 percent of the median weekly wage of men in the second quarter of 2010, up from 76.1 percent for the same period a decade ago and the highest ever recorded according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
- Women, who now make up 49.7 percent of the workforce, have outpaced men in the past 10 years in nearly every category, including race and age.
- Race: The median weekly wage for black women rose 8.8 percent from 2000 to 2009 after adjusting for inflation, while wages for black men fell 2.4 percent.
- Age: Women age 35 to 44 saw wages rise 11.5 percent after inflation from 2000 to 2009, compared with a 1.2 percent increase for men.
Men have been losing jobs at a faster rate than women in the recession because of troubles in manufacturing, construction and other industries, says economist Robert Drago. By contrast, job loss has been slow in government and health care, which tend to employ more women.
- Women have held their own or increased dominance in the skilled health care trades -- nurses, physical therapists, lab technicians -- that are growing in employment.
- Nine of every 10 nurses are women -- same as a decade ago.
- Men have increased dominance in the industrial and construction trades such as sheet metal workers, printing press operators and roofers, but those jobs are declining in numbers.
- The computer business -- programmers, operators, hardware engineers -- is the only part of the modern economy in which men outpaced women in the past decade.

Project DescriptionThe commission for Serta International's new Chicago-area corporate headquarters didn't begin with a lengthy RFP process. It started when a Serta executive walked into another office in a commercial development in Hoffman Estates, Ill., and asked the receptionist: "Who designed your building?"
The answer was Andrew Metter, of the Chicago firm Epstein | Metter Studio. He worked with the mattress manufacturer to create a structure iconic enough to serve as a world headquarters but pragmatic enough to address the day-to-day needs of a major corporation. The building houses operations and sales staff, showrooms, and the R&D facility where the company's products are created.
Located on a sloping wetlands site in the Prairie Stone Office Park near Chicago's O'Hare Airport, the Serta headquarters is a suitably Midwestern exercise in horizontality—along the historical lines of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Frank Lloyd Wright. The bulk of the building is an S-shaped, single-story, post-tensioned concrete volume that seems to float on its recessed base. "We wanted to play with the idea of sleep being a world apart," Metter says. To that end, the lobby is reached by walking up a ramp. The south end of the building rests on piers to maintain the horizontal baseline where the site slopes sharply down to a water detention pond.
The building façade is demarcated by a projecting lip of concrete at the top and another at the base; both run the length of the structure. The area within these "brows" is glazed to allow maximum views out and daylight in. Interrupting the glass expanse are five projecting bays, which add texture to the façade and create additional space within the narrow floor plate for executive offices and conference rooms. The largest bay houses a training room and cantilevers out 14 feet from the building's base.
A two-story steel-framed structure on the east side of the building houses the R&D facility. Metter opted for steel over concrete here because "we wanted to achieve the aesthetic affect, and there were very functional considerations about efficiency and layout," he says. "We needed large spans across big distances and a large height and volume, and that can really only be achieved with steel in any kind of efficient way." Clad in channel glass to obscure the industrial interior, the structure features a roof canopy that covers the sole second-story element on the main building—a cafeteria and sunshaded roof deck.
The main building's interior is split into two zones—public and private—by a frosted glass interior wall along the eastern edge. Most enclosed spaces are ganged up along the wall, leaving the rest of the floor for open office space. And open it is—post-tensioned concrete beams allowed for 47-foot clear spans, limiting the number of columns in the space. The finishes show a hyper-attention to detail, with Metter designing some of the drawer hardware himself to maintain the minimalist aesthetic.
A walk through the building sees the enthusiastic client updating the architect on maintenance efforts—like power-washing the roof deck to return the sun-bleached ipe to its original reddish hue—and how the building systems are running. The receptionists know Metter by sight, too, which—if past precedent holds true—might just lead to another project.

Get Your Dog Care Questions Answered by Experts
Hello, my name isXXXXX i am a licensed veterinarian and I will try and help you as best as I can.
I am sorry to hear Fancy Mae is not doing well.
thank you
any vomiting or diarrhea since the fist episode saturday?
she had diarrhea a couple times yesterday. yellowish but some solid too. It was stuck on her fur which never happens
I see. Is she on any medications at the moment (including monthly heart worm and flea prevention)?
no. she's completely natural
she has a small heart block and some kidney failure but she's had that since 2005
I see. And does she regularly receive human food in her diet?
she eats raw grass fed meat some, mostly raw
she is a puppy mill rescue though she usually she begs for everything
and she's not even doing that now
i see. The biggest concern here and most likely cause of the problem is the food
bc of her kidney's we try to not let her eat too much meat, but she has never had issues before w/ any food
pasta with heavy cream and any high fat human foods routinely cause pancreatitis
right..but im not sure how to fix it
She really is going to need medical attention
it was about 5
Does she seem stable right now?
of small round pasta
yeah she's just tired
it was a small amount and she threw up all of it. the cream wasn't poured on top. it was mostly a pasta salad
from a birthday party that morning
and she's not eating.
5 pieces would be enough for a dog her size. My major concern is the raw meat in the diet. It is not recommended for dogs to eat raw meat in the same reason that it is not recommended for humans to eat raw meat. However that is ultimately your decision. Treatment for the current problem is typically medication to reduce nausea, fluid support, and medication to decrease inflammation in the GI tract. Given it is day 5, I would get her to a vet tonight rather than waiting. The longer we wait, the less likely she will recover quickly
Treatment may be started on an outpatient basis tonight, however if there is no improvement, she may need to be hospitalized for a couple days
Do you have a vet in the area that you can go to tonight?
not here. IM from savannah and my vet is there. Even though she hasn't thrown up in 4 days
my vet recommended her to be on a raw diet :/
but not too much protein. Is there anything holistic I can give her for the nausea
or does she definitely need fluids tonight?
she's drinking water
As long as she does not worsen quickly, she may be ok waiting until tomorrow. The raw diet should be discussed with your vet based on your dog's history and medical past, however the American Veterinary Medical Association strictly recommends never feeding a dog raw meat (unless it is cooked!). If she is drinking well, she may not need fluids tonight. I would recommend over the counter medication to begin tonight for nausea. Typically famotidine (pepcid AC) can be helpful, however it is not as good as the prescription meds available. You can give her 2.5 mg (1/4 of a 10 mg tablet) every 12 hours to decrease stomach acid and reduce nausea until you can get her to the vet
what prescription meds? My dad is a doctor and can call them in? can dogs take phenergan or anything like that?
I usually recommend plain boiled chicken and plain white rice when there is an upset stomach. You can offer some of that tonight
she hasnt had any symptoms of an upset stomach today. is that normal before healing? She hasnt pooped at all
yes I can offer that
The best medication would be cerenia, which is a pet only medication, however ondansetron can be very helpful and is a human medication.
oh ok
how much does she weigh?
4.7 lbs
I have some zofran here.
but that stuff is sort of brutal ha
typical dosing for a dog her size of ondansetron would be 1/4 of a 4 mg tablet. Ondansetron is zofran.
If you have that available, I would give plain boiled chicken and rice as the only food tonight and in the morning, and give the ondansetron. If there is no improvement by mid day tomorrow, get her to the vet for a good exam and either supportive care or diagnostics (mainly bloodwork and/or imaging of the belly)
she smells metallic too
is that something that usually accompanies pancreatitis
it's like a weird smell but not infection
sometimes it does, however it can often be seen with other diseases too like kidney disease, which could have signs similar to what is going on today
well that she definitely has
is there anything to do w/ that?
or is it the same symptoms? I just dont want her to die
could that pasta have triggered something w/ her kidneys?
The pasta may have triggered off an upset stomach (either gastroenteritis or pancreatitis) that may just not be getting better due to the underlying kidney disease. She needs some bloodwork to get to the bottom of this. If her kidney values are not much above normal, this is likely just related to what she ate, however the kidney disease is a good reason for why she is not back to normal yet.
ok.. well i may drive her home tomorrow to see our vet, if not ive asked for a good one around here. Is there anything I can do to help her kidneys if that's what it is?
it's been controlled with diet since 05
Typically kidney disease is mainly controlled via diet until the very late stages. Mixing water in with food (typically a canned prescription diet is used) is the first step to increase water intake. Late stages can often require fluid support at home via giving subcutaneous fluids (under the skin) multiple times a week
ok thank you
thank you for taking the time to help Fancy
You are very welcome. I wish you the best with miss Fancy. Have a great night
thank you. you too.

Susumu Yokota
1961 – 2015
Susumu Yokota was an electronic composer from Japan. In the UK he is best known for his 'ambient' albums such as 'Sakura' and 'Grinning Cat' although 'ambient' is an often incredibly inappropriate tag for his wide ranging musical explorations. Prior to those albums he was better know for his work as a house music producer. Today, his discography includes over 30 albums.
This review of his 'Kaleidoscope' album by Chris Parkin in 2010 gives a good idea of his influence and output
Since his magnificent Sakura (2000) and Grinning Cat (2001) albums the electronic music world has been in thrall to Japan's Susumu Yokota, a laptop composer whose prolific output of at least one album every year since 1998 is at odds with his compelling creations. When so much of today's dashed-off ambient music comes off as characterless, indistinguishable and meaningless burble, Yokota shows the way. Not that he should thank us for calling this hour-long opus ambient.
Yokota has released techno, breakbeat, even funky commercial house down the years and it's this broad-ranging, never-say-never attitude that the spoddy electronicist summons here for an album that's perfectly impossible to categorise. Eschewing the quasi-classical trance and strict minimalism that's been cited as a major influence by the terrific Oneohtrix Point Never, Emeralds and others in that fine field of modern ambient, Yokota knits together an album that's altogether more fun, demented, freewheeling, colourful, narcotic and oddly human.
It's certainly not background music. As if to dispel any fears that it might be, Kaleidoscope's three opening tracks provide a vivid introduction to this gently-applied but rampant eclecticism. Your Twinkling Eyes, with its overlapping, looping acoustic guitars and prismatic chimes, suggests a sort of Far Eastern Caribou; the unsettling avant-clang and ghostly choral sounds of Her Feminineness awakens a sense that it's not all sunshine and fluffy white clouds here; and 9 Petals is a child-friendly romp built on what sounds like the rhythmic, chugging loop of a fairground ride and features the same alchemy of electronics, sax-parping and chanting that Moondog nailed and which Jonny Trunk won over fans of freaky music with on his fabulous Sister Woo track.
The chosen character worming its way through Yokota's latest album – irrational, prone to mood swings and suffering (or benefitting) from synaesthesia – requires all his entrancing sounds, whether they're odd, beguilingly beautiful or nerve-fraying. And this seamless patchwork of sunny psych-pop, leftfield clatter, shadowy two-step, harmony-based euphoria, Steve Reich minimalism and kaleidoscopic melodies is so much more emotionally walloping and relevant than all the perennially downbeat, whoosh-and-sigh whale music that gives ambient a bad name.
His best albums are said to be 'Symbol' which features samples of classical music from Vivaldi, Shostakovitch, Mahler and others,
'Sakura', 'Grinning Cat' and 'Wonder Waltz'. On 'Wonder Waltz' he collaborated with Czech avant-garde violinist and singer Iva Bittova.
He also collaborated with Rothko on Distant Sounds of Summer and the Waters Edge EP

A SWORD swallower who impaled himself with a neon tube before a live audience is set to take to the stage in Burnley.
Hannibal Hellmurto ripped a 10 centimetre hole in his oesophagus while attempting the feat at Bradford's St George's Hall.
He had already consumed a giant sword, curved serpent sword and three blades at once before calamity struck.
But after three weeks in intensive care - and a further fortnight in recuperation - he is ready to go back on the road with the Circus of Horrors.
The ghoulish collective have pencilled in a date at Burnley Mechanics as part of Hannibal's comeback tour and he will appear on February 15.
A Circus of Horrors spokesman said the neon tube feat was one of the most dangerous in a sword swallower's repertoire.
He added: "If it breaks it will leave glass inside you, it contains mercury and of course it is powered by electricity, any of which would almost certainly kill you.
"Luckily the tube did not break but it did rip a 10 centimetre hole in his oesophagus. He finished the show but was struggling to breath and was rushed to Bradford Royal Infirmary."
Hannibal, a former German tax official, was part of the circus team which reached the semi-finals of Britain's Got Talent.
In previous incarnations the circus has brought Moulin Rouge era Paris and a 19th-century asylum to life on the Mechanics' stage.

Hydro And The Debate Over "Renewable" Energy
06/11/10 12:10PM By Jane Lindholm
| Download MP3
As Vermonters raise concerns about Hydro Quebec's plans to expand and export power to New England, Vermont Edition traveled to Montreal to find out what Canadians are saying as part of VPR's series "Big Hydro: Going To The Source."
This spring, Hydro-Quebec and Vermont utilities announced a long-term agreement to provide electricity to Vermont. At the same time, the Vermont legislature designated power generated by Hydro-Quebec as 'renewable'. But concerns have been raised about the environmental impact of the diversion of rivers and flooding of lands involved in Hydro Quebec's expansion.
Claude Demers is Hydro-Quebec's science communicator. Has spent 30 years working on Hydro-Quebec projects. Daniel Breton, a long-time Quebec environmentalist and founder of MCN21, a group devoted to independence from fossil fuels.
They spoke with VPR's Jane Lindholm about Hydro-Quebec: the energy contracts it's pursuing with American utilities, the effect of large-scale hydro dams on the culture and landscape of Northern Quebec, and the debate over renewable power classification.Visit the Series Homepage

The Scalosian Queen Deela and Capt. Kirk did have implied sexual intercourse. Watch Memory Alpha and see elapsed time 39 minutes to elapsed time 41 when we see the good Capitan sitting on his bed pulling up his boots, Queen Deela is staring off into a mirror with that satiated look on her face. If this were a successful copulation then the Scalosian gene pool would have at least some new DNA. With acceleration technology the Scalosian's posses then multiple births and replications of Kirk's genetic material might be possible.
- Lot's of speculation there. "Implied" sexual intercourse. "If" successful copulation. Etc. --OuroborosCobra talk 17:00, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
