text: Huawei and Vodafone hit 20Gbps data speeds using 70GHz spectrum19 Jul 2016 03:45 PM Use of high-frequency millimetre band spectrum to achieve gigabit speeds while supporting a large number of connections in a small area is seen as crucial in the development of 5G networksHuawei and Vodafone have recently achieved data rates of over 20 Gigabits per second (Gbps) after trialling 70GHz high frequency (millimetre) band technology. The achievement is significant in that millimetre bands are expected to be used in next generation 5G networks.Writing on the Vodafone Group blog, David Lister, 5G research manager at Vodafone, noted that today's mobile phone networks use various frequency bands below 3GHz, which are best for providing coverage over large areas. However, he points out that the amount of resource, or bandwidth, is limited with typical allocations to a mobile operator in each of these bands being less than 20 MHz.In order to find much greater bandwidth, the industry is assessing a number of candidate bands above 24GHz which have been identified by the World Radio Congress. It is at these frequencies that the greatest bandwidth can be found and where 5G will deliver the highest data rates.One of the bands currently being considered is at a frequency of 70GHz. At this frequency, antennas can be built at the transmitter and the receiver, enabling the radio signal to be steered, or beam-formed, with a high level of precision, said ListerIn addition, objects near to a receiver can be used to 'reflect' a second beam towards the receiver using a process called Multiple Input Multiple Output or MIMO. The combination of both features helps to increase range, performance and capacity.There are significant engineering challenges associated with using these frequency bands. The radio signal is less capable of penetrating obstructions and the radio beams must be able to track the location of a device that is moving quickly. As a result, researchers are working to address these challenges as part of ongoing to work to determine how best to deploy and operate 5G networks.Working with Huawei, Vodafone has recently completed a 5G field test in Newbury in the UK that demonstrates the capabilities of a trial system operating at 70GHz. As mentioned, the tests were able to reach data rates of over 20Gbps and support multiple users each receiving 10Gbps.Lister went on to observe this means that using the technology it's possible to deliver an extremely high level of performance for an individual link, such as backhauling data between two locations, or supporting a large number of connections in small areas such as stadia or train stations.He said that these tests will contribute to the ongoing research into spectrum above 24GHz for 5G enhanced mobile broadband. They will also contribute to research activities that will lead to 5G spectrum harmonisation at the next World Radio Congress in 2019.Commenting on the trial, Johan Wibergh, Vodafone's Group chief technology officer, said: "This field test in an outdoor environment is a significant step forward in validating the performance of 5G in high frequency bands. It has improved our understanding of the capabilities and opportunities that the technology offers."Eric Xu, Rotating CEO of Huawei, said: "5G will introduce full spectrum access to support AR, VR, Smart Automobile and other unknown new services. The joint trial of 5G mmWave connectivity in a real world radio propagation environment and co-existence of different radio links is encouraging. I highly value the co-operation with Vodafone, and believe we will achieve more progress in 5G, together with Vodafone and other industry partners."David Lister leads Vodafone Group's Future Technology Team in its Research & Development Department.

Russet roofs and elegant stone chateaux dash past beyond grassy verges, sunlit fields bursting with uniform rows of vines over yonder. Delice de Bourgogne melting in mouth and a crisp Chablis in hand, it takes hold; instant bliss, an instant appreciation for the pure, easygoing life along the Cote d'Or canals of France.
I have recommended this tour to several friends and associates. We have the happiest of memories and wish your company continued success.
J & R Sunderland, Roof of Europe
Bound for la dolce vita, we look forward to arriving in Venice as a new day begins.
While the canal-crossed streets of Venice beckon with dreamy intent, we save the discovery for a later date with good reason. Believe it or not, there's a city just as romantic over the horizon.
Weaving between crumbling Roman relics and stone buildings of deep ochre hues, we're rendered starry-eyed as we arrive in Verona – celebrated by Shakespeare in one of his most famous works, 'Romeo and Juliet'. Cocooned within the city's ancient heart, the Palazzo Victoria is our resplendent home for the next three nights. Our very own whirlwind love affair begins with an outstanding dinner set in the shady Veronese courtyard.
Verona's streets are bustling with lovelorn tourists and locals as we set out on a tour encapsulating everything from Juliet's Balcony to the elaborate Arche Scaligeri tombs and the market near the Piazza delle Erbe.
The road we take later traces a path through the bucolic Veneto countryside, spilling out between the vines of Valpolicella. It's here we seek Italy's finest red, the coveted Amarone. After tastings to cherish, the village of Bardolino puts forward a feast of three delightful courses on the edge of Lake Garda. We will then enjoy a pleasant wander through the alleys and squares of Garda and Lazise.
It's no accident that we are here during the acclaimed Arena di Verona Opera Festival, and we have arranged VIP seats beneath the pink-tinged marble arches for an evening operatic performance we'll never forget.
After prima colazione, we set our course to discover the riches of Castelvecchio, the 14th century fortress straddling the river Adige. Within the museum, we explore artefacts and artwork dating back to the Middle Ages, followed by a pleasant stroll through the Renaissance gardens of Giardino Giusti. There are box hedges manicured to within an inch of perfection and evergreen cypresses reaching towards the sky, creating a picture too flawless for words.
Fresh from some time to ourselves, we come together at twilight and fall even further under Verona's spell with a lavish dinner set for us in a private villa garden, illuminated with candles fluttering in the gentle summer breeze.
Arriving into the City of Canals, Venice is our next stop, where the stunning Hotel Danieli awaits. A walking tour along the streets paved with cobblestones makes for a most idyllic discovery. The day then takes us to St Mark's Basilica which we are privileged to have all to ourselves during an exclusive after-hours tour.
Tonight's welcome dinner sets the scene for a tour that's set to sparkle. Gondolas drift into view as each course disappears with pure delight.
Enamoured by this fabled city of islands we are ready to meet the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express. Welcome to a world of white gloved service, where your steward will attend to your every need and course upon course of fine dining will be served.
Such resplendence calls for a celebratory after dinner aperitivo in the Bar Car, accompanied by tinkling piano music as Italy melts into France and you journey onwards through the night.
Disembark Venice Simplon-Orient-Express
The sun wakes you and your steward waits with breakfast. We farewell our friendly crew on arrival in Paris. Like any good celebration, however, we begin with Champagne.
Welcome to Chateau Les Crayeres; with perfectly manicured gardens and beautifully appointed rooms, this impeccable property has been the epitome of French chic since 1904. We set the standard with an outstanding dinner at Le Parc restaurant, prepared by Michelin starred chef Philippe Mille.
We're feeling particularly effervescent this morning, ready to pop corks along the Route du Champagne. A prestigious Champagne house opens its doors for us and the afternoon takes us south through the Cote de Blancs.
In Dijon, we are ready to see a different side to France, cruising her radiant waterways. Stepping aboard the MS Jeanine, the pace of life slows down gloriously. We've privately chartered this dainty French barge exclusively for a leisurely meander along the Cote d'Or Canals from Saone et Loire.
Settling into your neat cabin, it's a pleasure to know you will have to unpack just once for the next six nights. Dinner and sunset cocktails set the scene for lazy evenings ahead.
Days don't get much closer to the sublime than those spent enjoying life's simple pleasures on our very own barge.
Winding at leisure through the Grand Crus wine route, we pass through the most prestigious of the Burgundy vineyards. At Petit Ouges, we explore the intriguing circuit of the three wash houses.
The river to Saint Jean de Losne traces some of the region's most voluptuous curves as we drift past rural vineyards and rustic farmsteads, waving to passing boats, Bourgogne in hand.
Saint Jean de Losne is the self proclaimed capital of canal barging in France. In a history of sieges and saviours, we visit the Hotel-Dieu, maritime museum and gothic style church during an insightful tour. Back on the water, sit back and relax as we navigate through the arteries of Southern Burgundy bound for the verdant heart of Dole.
Follow the paw prints to the Trail of the Perched Cat on a morning excursion ashore bringing the charming stories of poet Marcel Ayme to life in Dole.
Our last afternoon of sailing is spent on the River Doubs en route to Besancon, a photogenic gem that epitomises the rural treasures of France and the ideal place to enjoy the Captain's Gala dinner finale.
Disembark Ms Jeanine
Bidding 'bisous et au revoir' to fair Jeanine, we're back on dry land, disembarking to transfer to the Loire Valley.
The Chateau d'Artigny is our very own for the next three nights and is sure to astound. Built by famous perfumer Francois Coty in the 18th century, this is a shining star in one of France's most notable wine regions. Dinner and a tour of the stately grounds leaves you feeling like Lords and Ladies of the manor.
Peppered with medieval fortresses, fairytale chateaux and of course those abundant vines, there's no wonder the Loire Valley has earned itself UNESCO World Heritage Status. On our full day tour from Villeray to Langeais, Renaissance art meets award winning horticulture and pristine Chateaux. Could there be a more pleasurable setting for sipping some of France's finest wines?
A perfect day is rounded off with dinner at the chateau's L'Origan restaurant by award winning Chef Richard Prouteau.
It's a pleasure to be able to set out again on a degustation discovery through the luscious Loire Valley. Starting in Blois, we follow our palate to Cherverny, where a lavish lunch is accompanied by King Francis I's very own private wines. Our last port of call is Chambord, a place which inspired Louis XIV's favourite black raspberry liqueur – an archaic twist on the version we might drink today.
A day of indulgence is topped off with an authentic dinner at a famous family run Domaine – all will be revealed on the day!
After our final cafe et croissants we have some time to relax before we catch the train to Paris for our departure.
You're looking forward to wowing your friends with your improved skills in Italian and French as you return to Australia tonight.
Imagine a trip where you won't have to lift a finger, or worry about bringing your wallet.
All meals are included with your tour price along with beer, wine and soft drinks. Dining experiences can range from Michelin-starred restaurants to intimate local eateries.
Many Captain's Choice guests travel solo, and almost all of them find that making friends on holiday is easy, thanks to the welcoming and like minded nature of our travellers. At the start of the tour, all solo travellers are invited to a Welcome Reception, enabling you to get to know other guests travelling on their own.
Members of our Tour Host Team are always available for a friendly chat and a meal, but if you prefer time for private reflection then that is always respected too – you can choose to be as involved as much or as little as you please. Either way, it's a fun and rewarding way to see the world.
Based on per person, twin share – from Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane flying with Emirates. Prices from other cities are available on request.
Cruise & Land Only (Join in Verona for dinner on Day 2 and depart on arrival to Paris on Day 17).

MORE and more house sellers are going to auction.
And more and more home buyers are turning up to bid - or just to see what all the fuss is about.
In the two big auction markets, Sydney and Melbourne, about half the properties for sale are being put under the hammer.
The figure is far lower in regional centres, about 20 per cent, where there are fewer buyers and a less competitive market.
But even that figure is growing as homes fetch record prices before the so-called property price bubble bursts.
Here are a fewer pointers and pitfalls to help you buy or sell a home for the best possible price at auction:
*Before the Big Day:
It's homework time for both sellers and buyers. You need to find out what similar houses in your area have been selling for.
Go back up to six months, and arrive at a median figure.
For sellers, it's time to spruce up the peeling paint and put up those hanging pot plants - but don't over capitalise.
Quite simply don't pump more money into improving your home than you will gain at the sale price.
This, according to Real Estate Institute of Victoria communications manager Paul Bird, is one of the biggest mistakes a seller can make.
"One of the issues of preparing homes for sale is some people ... do overspend when getting the house to a certain standard which they believe is required to go to auction," he says.
"For instance, in some parts of Melbourne and Sydney buyers in mid-level suburbs are generally just looking for a mid-level family home which has some scope for future improvement and renovation.
"Whereas at the top end of the market clearly people are looking for a home that they can move into that they don't need to do much work to and can live fairly comfortably in from day one."
Next, it's time to sit down with a real estate agent. Work out a marketing plan for your house, from online ads on major real estate websites sites to traditional newspaper ads, direct mail and a big sign out the front.
Bidders may want to sit down with a buyer's agent who can, not only work out the best price for you, but bid for you at the auction.
*Auction Day:
Your house is as neat as a new pin and there's a posse of potential buyers on the nature strip.
The seller has put all the paperwork on the property with the agent and buyers have arranged finance, including a deposit and fast-tracking of the remainder of the money.
They have also hopefully arranged for an inspection of the home by a building professional.
At this stage, the vendor would have set a reserve - or minimum price they are prepared to accept.
Most have this in place well ahead of the auction, allowing the agent to provide those interested with a realistic idea of what they may have to pay.
But some sellers don't reveal the reserve until the auction, hoping to take advantage of any late fluctuations in value.
Now the auction is underway and the auctioneer is calling bids at a mile a minute. You've never bid at an auction before and adrenaline is flowing.
Stay calm.
"The great danger is that if someone is a novice at auctions and they start bidding, they can get wound up in the excitement of the auction and potentially bid a high price beyond what they expect to pay for it," Mr Bird says.
"There are inherent dangers in over bidding for a property in that it can create difficulties in terms of obtaining finance and settling on the property."
If you don't trust yourself to bid wisely, consider having an experienced buyer's agent do the bidding for you.
*After the auction:
It was a pretty breathless affair, but you're now the proud owner of your dream home.
Time to uncork that champers, but it's also time to know your rights and obligations prior to settlement of the sale.
The settlement period, the time between the auction and the change of ownership, is anything from 30 days and 120 days.
The buyer needs to use the time to check deeds on the property, arrange for conveyancing, and making sure what was included on the day of the sale is still there when it is handed over.
Buyers can arrange for an inspection prior to settlement to make sure those light fittings and bathroom fittings that caught their eye haven't been removed.
"Basically anything that is bolted down or attached to the property should be included on the day of settlement," Mr Bird says.
So, as more homes go to auction as sellers and buyers both seek best price, it's important for both sides to do their homework and get professional advice.
And know their limits.

Mistaken for Strangers | 2014
Matt is lead singer of critically acclaimed rock band The National. His brother Tom tours with them as a roadie, films the trip and his documentary becomes a portrait of their relationship.
Jump to
American Mary Productions
Matt, the lead singer of the critically acclaimed rock band The National, finally finds himself flush with success. His younger brother, Tom, is a loveable slacker - a filmmaker and metal-head still living with his parents in Cincinnati. On the eve of The National's biggest tour to date, Matt invites Tom to work for the band as a roadie, unaware of Tom's plan to film the entire adventure. What starts as a rock documentary soon becomes a surprisingly honest portrait of a charged relationship between two brothers, and the frustration of unfulfilled creative ambitions.

Text of the e-mail read by Fred Dicker on his show yesterday:
I hope you keep blasting the State Police for their bumbling behavior. They deserve it.
Never once in the five years I worked on Capitol Hill as a Congressional staffer did I walk through a House or Senate office building security entrance and experience the head-shaking unprofessionalism that goes on at the Capitol and the LOB entrances. And I'm talking about situations with major security concerns, such as President Reagan lying in state or the State of the Union.
A couple weeks ago I entered the State Street side of the Capitol and put my Blackberry and keys in the basket. The dimwit State Police officer says to me: "where's your wallet?" Where's my wallet? I don't carry a wallet, I told her. What a stupid question. Like I would have an M-16 in it even if I did carry a wallet. Plus, having gone through security entrances in D.C. thousands of times, I know what must go in the basket to make their jobs easier. She was so obnoxious.
Another time I entered the LOB and put my stuff in the basket and proceeded to walk through. I put my left hand in my pocket looking for my ATM card and the State Police officer bellows "take your hand out of your pocket!" This was after I had already walked through the metal detector. The guy acted like some wanna-be Albany Rambo.
These officers need simple common decency lessons.
The podcast can be heard here.

Is It Safe To Take Valerian Root With Citalopram?Hi there, I have been prescribed 10mg of Citalopram to help with "Adjustment Disorder" and "G.A.D." I also get bouts of depression. I have also been prescribed Propranolol, 80mg (beta blocker I believe?) is this ok to take if there are "big" bouts of anxiety, ie as and when needed? I don't want to be on too much of a coctail and want to know that what I am feeling is actually me and not some side effect. As someone who would much rather use natural methods, I was wondering if it would be safe to take Valerian tincture in the evening to help with rest and sleep, whilst taking Citalopram? Many thanks for your help, Jackie READ MORE
Hi Jackie
I have been meaning to answer your question for some time. I think what you are really asking for is a little emotional support in making such decisions and we want to give that to you. I am going to respond more fully later but did want to say that Paul is absolutely right to advise you to speak with your doctor and let him or her know what all you are taking or plan to take. That way they have this vital information on your medical chart.
Just real quick...I am all about taking supplements but one thing you should know is that supplements are not FDA regulated...they sometimes contain unatural fillers and sometimes even harmful ingredients. Just because it says "natural" doesn't mean a thing. You can experience adverse reactions from supplements and you can also experience harmful reactions between certain supplements and prescription medications.
I will be back to respond more fully...this is such an important topic. And I want to make sure that you get some support for what you are going through.
Hang in there.
I really think you should check with a doctor, preferably the one who has prescribed your drugs. They need to know of any new substance claiming medicinal qualities, which you begin using, along with your prescribed drugs. Sometimes your pharmacist can be of great help too.
It's better if you ask your doctor, or doctors, they need to know what you are taking along with what they prescribe, so they can advise you of any harmful effects, or possible reactions. It's why they ask when you come in, if you are taking any new medications.
In the end, it's up to us what we take, but the doctors should be made aware and given a chance to help.READ MORE
Valerian appears to be, relatively, "safe". An adverse interaction, with Citalopram, is unlikely. An adverse interaction, with propranolol, is possible. Likelihood would depend on the individual and doses.
Valerian can cause problems if it's used in high doses, for extended periods and/or with depressants; benzodiazepines, opiates, barbiturates, alcohol et cetera.
Neither Citalopram nor propranolol are "safe".READ MOREYou should know Answers to your question are meant to provide general health information but should not replace medical advice you receive from a doctor.

Eagles' Nick Foles went undercover as a waiter at fantasy football drafts
Chris Kluwe presides over a true Fantasy Draft
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles went undercover at several fantasy football draft parties as a waiter to try to fool fans.
These fantasy owners must have really done their pre-draft homework though, as they quickly spotted the QB despite his eclectic mustache and sideburns combination.
Kevin Sumlin, A&M players celebrate victory over South Carolina
The third group even gets some pressure from Foles after he notes he has still not been selected at the end of the fourth round.

Blown Away
The weather around the country has been unreal in the last couple of weeks. There have been so many tornadoes, so much damage, and too many lives lost in many areas in the south. Many areas have been hit by severe storms that they are not usually accustomed to getting. It's been crazy! While the area I live in does not usually have tornado warnings, we had an advisory yesterday, but nothing happened. Somehow I feel like that advisory should've been in place for today. The winds have been terrible. This morning there were wind gusts up to 80mph. That is insane!! All morning the winds have sounded pretty scary, and they've been doing a lot of damage to huge trees and homes in the area. This afternoon, the Mayor announced no unnecessary travel in the city. I skipped rehab on purpose, because I would've had to drive near the gorge to get there, and you wanna talk about winds?? That area is 10x worse when the winds are high!! My poor little Saturn would've been blown all over the place! So I didn't want to fight the winds! I had a doctor's appt this afternoon, but after the travel advisory went into place, I called to reschedule. I didn't want to be blown away, either!! Besides, there is so much debrish flying around here. On my street, no one can pass because of downed power lines and lots of tree branches and limbs strewn about. While I realize that the damages here are nothing like the areas hit by tornadoes, I do find it amazing (and scary) at how much destruction powerful winds can bring when Mother Nature is at her worst!

I got up a lot earlier than usual, even before my 7am alarm to take Revatio went off. I'm glad for the extra 15 minutes, because by 7:20, my mom was calling me to see if I was ready to go to church. They picked me up 10 minutes later, and we met my sister and her family for mass. I'm so not used to being up at 8am, but the mass was nice. I lit a candle for my friend and her family. I've been praying so hard, begging God at times, to let N. turn around and heal. It doesn't hurt to ask for a miracle, does it?
After church, we went to the casino for the breakfast buffet. I had two plates of food, the first one mostly breakfast foods, and the second one some lunch items. Then, I had an ice cream sundae. Honestly, I don't know how I packed the whole thing in, but I did. I was in a food coma by the time I got home, and took a rather long nap! When I got up, I got settled in the living room to watch the Sabres game, and play online, which I totally missed doing since I had banned myself from internet usage during the day. That's pretty much where I've been all night!
I got a call from my friend in the afternoon, and she told me they removed the tubes from her brother. Tonight I got a message from her saying that N. had died. My heart breaks for the entire family. She said she had a feeling this was coming, but she had hope that maybe he could turn around. Her parents, on the other hand....well, all I know is that they are a mess, and it's understandable. A parent should never lose a child. I'm sure the wake and funeral arrangements will be made, and probably be later this week. I intend on being there for them. I wish that there was more I could do. I know N. is at peace now. I just wish it didn't have to be this way.

Crazy Shoppers
I went out with my parents today to a couple stores, mainly Walmart (the only one I had to buy stuff from!). I kept thinking it was Saturday since we went around 2pm, and my dad was with us. But he had gotten out of work early for the holiday weekend! It was a madhouse at Walmart, and even the roads were jammed with people out and about to get last minute things for Easter. It was nice being out with my parents, since it has been awhile since we last shopped together. I got various things I needed to get at the store, including a new pair of earbuds since the ones I had finally stopped working a few days ago. I hate it when I can't listen to my music! I have a few new products to try eating, such as Jello dark chocolate mousse cups, and almond butter. I try to be healthy, and yet at the same time, I buy a cheese topping for popcorn that contains a ton of salt. lol Sometimes I don't understand myself!! Anyway, we didn't get home until almost 6pm since my parents wanted to stop at another grocery store (I stayed in the car), and then ended up at yet ANOTHER grocery store briefly to get a few more items (again, I stayed in the car lol). It was a nice afternoon with them, although a tad bit on the chilly side (even inside Walmart!). When is this weather going to get better???? And I don't mean better as in a few days out of the week, I mean CONSTANTLY better?? lol Anyway, I hope for a nice weekend, despite the fact that my friend and her family are constantly on my mind.

Hoping For A Miracle
On this very holy weekend, when Jesus made the biggest sacrifice for all of us, I'm praying so hard for my best friends brother. After going back and forth between being stable and then losing ground, N. has been given 72 hours to live. My friend's on her way back down to WV with her father. I am completely sad for the family, and trying to pray so hard for a miracle.

I almost didn't go to rehab today, but I'm extremely thankful I did. I found out shortly after getting there that this was the last day for the respiratory therapists. Apparently, starting next Tuesday, we will now have athletic trainers. Really?? This makes no sense to me, but I guess that's what happens when budgets are cut and things need to be a little downsized. In the past couple weeks, I've noticed our RT's talking to new people, and I was wondering what that was all about. One day last week, E. was showing two people a computer system she set up on keeping track of patients' progress. Tuesday, there were 2 men in the office for the whole time I was working out (one of them was looking at me almost every time I looked that way lol), talking to E. about who knows what, but now I know it was about the patients and the cardiopulmonary program. It'll definitely be new on Tuesday when I go in there. Well, new people. They've been warned about my oxygen situation, but I'm sure they still might be a little spooked by me. lol I'm just sad that the RTs won't be there anymore. Well, the RTs will still be in the hospital, working in different positions, and I can always go find them and say hi if I'd like! I know we'll all have to adjust to this change, and I'm hoping it will be easy! But, I am glad I did go to rehab today to find all this out, and to say goodbye to the RTs who were there!

Saucy And Windy Weekend
I decided on Saturday to try making my first batch of spaghetti sauce. I had roma tomatoes that were a bit beyond my liking for salads and sandwiches, but were still perfectly fine to use for something like sauce. I had bought other ingredients on Friday while grocery shopping at Aldi's. I found a recipe for sauce made in the crock pot, and followed most of the directions. However, I added mushrooms and zucchini, mixed everything in a very large bowl, and then blended it before I put it in the crock pot to cook for about 5 hours. It smelled pretty yummy all day! I made spaghetti and broccoli, and tried out the sauce. It wasn't too bad! I think the next time I make a batch (which won't be for awhile, since I have 2 containers in the freezer and one in the fridge), I'll tweak it a bit and maybe add a tad more sugar, since I kinda like it a bit sweeter than it turned out. Today I stayed home simply because if I had stepped foot out the door, I would've blown halfway across the country. The winds were very bad, and had actually started late last night. In the course of the day, besides the winds, it rained, hailed, sleeted, cleared up, and repeated itself over several times. I tried not to pay attention to what it was doing outside. I put on my earphones and cleaned and sang for the longest time, and actually enjoyed the day! Speaking of a windy weekend, my sister, who lives down in North Carolina, had a tornado touch down half a mile from her house yesterday! They didn't even realize it had happened, they just knew the weather was terrible, and the power went out. Thank goodness they weren't hurt, and their house wasn't damaged! She did say there was a lot of damage in the neighborhood, but I don't think anyone was hurt. How very scary!!

Not My Fault
On Monday, I got a call from my friend's aunt about my food stamp case, because I had asked her if she could provide some information about something since my food stamp caseworker hasn't bothered to get back to me at all. V. told me the information I wanted to know about, but she also gave me some disturbing news: my case had been incorrectly coded, and I've been getting too much in food stamps. WHAT??? Apparently someone put me down as having SSI, not SSD. I'm supposed to be getting $131 a month, not $152. She felt so bad about it, but she had no choice but to report it to her supervisor. I didn't expect her not to say anything, that is her job. At least SOMEONE is doing their job, not my caseworker! I'm not even sure how far back this goes. I've been on food stamps for at least 9 years. I remember when I very reluctantly applied for them, and there are times I still feel guilty about getting them. But, I wouldn't be eating if I didn't have them! Anyway, V. told me they wouldn't send me a bill for the food stamps I've been overpaid, but most likely, they'll take maybe $10 off of what I'm supposed to get a month to make up for how much I owe back. Yes, it seems absolutely ridiculous that I would have to pay them back for something that wasn't my fault, but that just isn't how the state works. I'm expecting a letter any day now saying things are going to be adjusted and what to expect. I know I can fight it and get a hearing if I don't agree. I have to see how all of that works, but this is just not something I wanted to worry about!!

I heard a couple of rather surprising pieces of information today, and while I can't describe them at this time, it made me think about my life and the course I'm on. It has been a long time since I've had that "what am I supposed to be doing with my life?" thought. It actually has made me sad that I don't feel like I'm accomplishing anything with my life when I hear from plenty of people that I am. I suppose I'm just feeling sorry for myself tonight. Maybe things will look differently in the morning when I sleep on it!

A Surprisingly Unexpected Gift
Before I signed back onto the internet tonight, I was doing a search on my laptop for something, and for some reason Euan's name was showing up in the results. I didn't recognize what it was, it didn't seem like a picture or anything, so I clicked on it. There before me appeared a complete chat log of conversations we had on MSN from the summer of 2008 until a month before he died in 2010. I was completely shocked. I read most of it, crying my eyes out and also laughing at some of our discussions. Our conversations flowed so easily from one topic to the next, whether they were serious or completely hysterical. I was so happy to be reading these talks again, but also so heartbroken at the same time. I hope to one day find someone who I could talk to so easily and effortlessly like we used to do. But for now, I will try to enjoy reading the things we shared, and I'll definitely remember him fondly as I always do. I think I know what my goal for tomorrow will be: turning on my computer to see if there are possibly any chat logs on there, too! I didn't even realize I was recording every conversation, so perhaps I'll find something on my computer also. Not holding my breathe, but, I just don't know for sure what'll I'll find! If they are on the computer, holy crap, it'll be a TON of reading!!

Blah Day, Monday
My phone alarm went off at 9:10 this morning, the second time it goes off in the mornings (the first time is at 7am so I can take Revatio and go back to sleep), and I felt like I woke up in the middle of the night. It was rather dark and dreary, and shortly after I put my eyes in, the water poured from the sky. Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. I just love Mondays that are soooooo yucky. I got ready to go to out for bloodwork and run a few errands before coming back to print out all the typing I did for my friend on Sunday. Before I did all the printing, though, I made several phone calls. I'm trying to finish the planning for my next PH support group meeting on May 7th. The invites need to go out soon, but I also didn't know if I should ask someone to provide refreshments or do it myself. Since I don't have a lot of money, I called the PHA and talked to someone who said I would still be able to submit a form asking for help with food. I'm not planning on going overboard with a huge lunch this time, since the meeting is going to pretty much be informal. So I broke my online time briefly to get to the website I needed to fill out the info for the fund that can provide some money for food. That was all done and out of the way! Next on my list of calls was Cleveland Clinic. I hadn't heard anything about appointments for May, so I called to see if they were actually done. Nope. Figures. I had emailed my PH nurses about a month ago, and they either didn't get it or forgot to do something about it. Hopefully I can get some dates soon so I can book a hotel room. I know we'll have to stay overnight since I usually get scheduled so early in the morning. My last call was to a woman who goes to pulmonary rehab at the same hospital I go. She comes on MWT, though, so I never see her. But apparently she has PH, and is on a lung transplant list. She found out about the meetings I have and wanted to know more, so one of the therapists gave me her info. I had to leave a message, but hopefully she'll give me a call back soon! Maybe she'd like to come to the meeting in May! After all the calls, and after all the printing was done, I laid down for awhile, trying to warm up, especially my feet. They felt like solid blocks of ice. Despite the fact that it was around 60 degrees, the dampness didn't really keep the temperature in the house up, so it was 63 inside. I had turned the heat off for most of the day, so I just put my little heater on in my room. Eventually I fell asleep, but my poor little feet never did get warm until I took a bath tonight! I can't wait for summer when I can go around barefoot and not really worry about them freezing all the time! After dinner and watching some tv, I spent the evening online with phriends, and tutoring. My upstairs neighbor gave me some new wine when she got home, and now it's made me sleepy, so I think I have to call it a night!!

Struggling Spring
Spring is ever so slowly trying to work itself into the WNY area, and I am ever so anxious to get to the consistently warmer days. Signs of spring have been popping up all over for the last month. I hear more chirping now from the birds that have returned to the area, and I saw my first robin about 2 weeks ago! There is always something about seeing that first robin, it makes you really feel hope that the warmer days are ahead. My greenery of my tulips started sprouting before the middle of March got here, thanks to some days that were warmer than usual. Then we had snow again. I really hope the tulips aren't going to be too wimpy because of that! They are my favorite flower, and they don't have a very long life span, so it really stinks when they don't turn out that great because the cold has hit them too early! Although spring is coming (well, technically it is here), the temperatures are still trying to work themselves up the thermometer. Yesterday was a beautiful day, in the mid 50s, and it felt nice. Today it's in the mid 40s, which is actually what it should be around this time of year, and I'm sitting here freezing. This time of year, I try to keep the heat lower, or even off, depending on how warm it gets outside. But sometimes I just want to crank it because I'm too cold! I am still wearing layers. The long underwear isn't going anywhere yet. lol My mom and I were out shopping yesterday, and I was trying to find some stuff for gardening. I have never been one to really like growing things, or digging in the dirt, but the last couple years, I've been trying to get over that so I can have some fresh veggies for once. The one year I had a grape tomato plant on my front porch, which did pretty well, but the squirrels ate most of them! Last year I had a bigger tomato plant on my front porch, and I did get a few tomatoes from that. I tried growing several plants in the backyard, but I put them in too late, and by the time they grew big enough, it was fall. lol So this year, I'm going to try roma tomatoes, and green onions. I'm not actually digging into the ground. There is no way I can do that. I have a plastic container that I used last year for the failed tomato plants that I will use for the green onions. And yesterday I bought a rather large plastic planter with a drainage tray that I will try using for the tomato plants. I think I'll try either 4 or 5 plants in there. I'm kind of excited about it, and hoping that I'll actually get a bunch of tomatoes instead of maybe 3. lol I'm think I need to start growing the roma tomatoes since I bought them as seeds. That way I can actually plant them in a month or so! I just have to hope that no animal is going to try stealing them away from me!! lol (By the way, for some reason my posts won't let me put spaces between paragraphs. I really hate it, and can't figure out how to fix it!!! So, sorry if one huge paragraph is too hard to read, I'm not doing it on purpose! I was an English teacher, I know when to start new paragraphs!! LOL)

Testing 1 2 3
In the world of smartphones, there are so many different things you can do with a phone. Besides talking and texting, you can go on the internet, play games, watch videos, and even watch movies. You can video chat or use gps to get somewhere. Tonight, I discovered how to blog with my phone. I sit in my dark bedroom typing this, and crossing my fingers that it actually works! Here goes nothing!

When Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer and his family launched the Mike Zimmer Foundation earlier this year, they sought to better the lives of children in need. The foundation is already making a difference for countless families, and now, Zimmer's players are following his lead.
From June 21-24, Vikings cornerback Xavier Rhodes and linebacker Eric Kendricks will host an overnight football camp at the University of St. Thomas. They'll teach both offensive and defensive fundamentals to about 100 players, working on everything from backpedals to proper tackling technique.
The Sports International Football Camp gives Vikings like Rhodes and Kendricks a chance to touch the local community and create a once-in-a-lifetime experience for aspiring players. "I am extremely excited about my football camp this summer and cannot wait to start training these young athletes," Rhodes said earlier this year.

I'd just like to give a shout out to Twisted Pine Brewing for their spicy beer Ghost Face Killah beer. I don't think it needs an explanation simply because you ought to buy it based on name alone, but it's a new personal favorite. It's got some pretty pleasant (intimidating but not tortourous) heat to it, and a pretty solid flavor to it. It certainly complemented my dinner of chili and jalapeno chips.
For the Asheville people, it's now available at French Broad Food Coop and Bruisin' Ales.

Articles like this make me sad for the future of poetry. This article,
The Law of Diminishing Readership, in the Trends section of Poets and Writers magazine by Joseph Bednarik, I think is dead on. While there's a proliferation of MFA programs producing several hundred new poets a year, readership of poetry in the U.S. is steadily declining.
Why the disconnect? The author supposes that people like to write poetry more than read it.
From a practical standpoint, I wonder if colleges and universities are teaching students of literature how to turn their creative interests into liberal arts careers. If you're a poet, can you take a class in how to publish, how to self-publish, how to market yourself, how to start a reading series, or how to develop an online magazine? I don't think things have changed since I graduated from NYU 10 years ago. But I wish there had been a business course available to liberal arts on how to manage money, and to learn how to think of poetry more entrepreneurially.
Nobody like to think of poetry as a business, but it is. The only way poetry, and literature in general, can flourish is if poets who write support the industry: buy a poetry book. But poets need to think about how to turn writers into readers. How can we create more avenues to have the work bought, ultimately, by new audiences? This is not rocket science, just business.

The Mysterious Case of Missing Saudi Student
On October 15, 2006, a young Saudi Arabian male named Anwar Al,* (His full name will not be used for legal reasons) claiming to be an engineering student at the University of Arkansas in Little Rock,
presented what must have been false documents to United States Customs and Immigration at an east coast airport and managed to slip into the country illegally. This is something that is not easily done: for a citizen of Saudi Arabia to get into the United States to attend an institution of higher learning requires the scrutiny of multiple, Cabinet level federal agencies. Customs was the last line in a series of Homeland Security controls that began halfway around the world at the US Embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Anyone who has picked up a newspaper since September 11, 2001 understands why this is the procedure: fifteen of the nineteen 9/11 hijackers were Saudi nationals. ~sNip~ So how did this Saudi kid presenting himself as a student slip into the United States without being stopped? And what was his reason for doing so? And illegal entry is only one of the federal offenses Anwar Al appears to have committed. Others raise even more serious alarms; events just three days after being admitted to the US involving this young, Saudi male raise the national security stakes exponentially. What happened next is enough to make you ask, just who is Saudi Arabia sending our way anyway and what exactly are we doing about it?
Please Do Not Leave Your Bags Unattended
On October 18, 2006. Federal Air Marshal Jeffrey Denning was about to catch a mission flight out of Reagan National Airport in Washington D.C. when a piece of luggage left unattended in a crowded area caught his attention.
(Excerpt) Read more at womenswallstreet.com ...
"Apparently Anwar Al applied for a US visa with doctored paperwork from the University of Arkansas. Despite the required face-to-face interview with US Embassy officials (a fact confirmed with me by the State Department) no one caught this. Instead, an embassy worker issued Al a visa to come to a University in the middle of a University semester, a highly irregular time. Al got on a plane and flew into the United States, despite his name being on a terrorist watch list. Al passed, undetected, through Customs and Immigration despite the fact that he presented what must have been fraudulent travel documents and despite the fact that his name was on terrorist watch list. Three days after his illegal entry, he was involved in a suspicious incident at an airport that involved six US Federal Agencies. Not one of them detained him for further questioning; ICE agents never examined his travel documents; an Arabic speaker never questioned him in his native tongue; and bomb-sniffing dogs never examined his bags. FBI couldn't "verify" that this particular young man was the terrorist on the watch list, so Al was let go. Al never showed up for class. Four months after he arrived, in February 2007, University officials reported him missing. ICE agents never contacted the University for a follojw-up to his absence, nor did agents from FBI. Anwar Al had successfully slipped past every, single federal control system put in place to catch someone like him in a post-9/11 world. He remains at large.
OK now...
For those of you who haven't, read the entire series. It is really frightening.
OK. I'll admit to being clueless here.
How would one go about doing that?
Haven't verified whether they must be read on line, be a subscriber to access, save them etc...
Good luck.
Response: The reason being is that jobs must be provided for the unemployable.
That is a great list!
Very good.
And the moonbats and Beltway Bozos don't have a clue...just another demonstration of why all the unemployables are government employees!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

January 27, 2015
A safety review was done to evaluate the risk of serious abnormal heart rhythms and sudden death (cardiac arrest) with domperidone for all uses. This review was prompted by the ongoing assessment of information regarding domperidone and heart events and from information shared by the European Medicines Agency (EMA).
Domperidone was first marketed in Canada in 1985 under the name Motilium. Motilium is no longer marketed in Canada. It has been replaced by 13 generics or copies of Motilium.
Domperidone is used to treat symptoms of slowed stomach emptying seen in people with some gastrointestinal (GI) disorders (e.g., gastritis or inflammation of the GI tract). Domperidone is also used to reduce symptoms such as nausea and vomiting caused by some drugs used to treat Parkinson's disease.
Changes in the electrical activity of the heart, such as QT prolongation, can lead to an abnormal heart rhythm. An abnormal heart rhythm refers to the heart beating too fast, too slow or irregularly. In some rare cases, fast, irregular heartbeats can cause death.
To assess the risk of a person developing serious abnormal heart rhythms and sudden death while taking domperidone. The evidence considered included Canadian and international adverse reaction reports, scientific and medical literature, international data, and what is known about the use of this product both in Canada and internationally.
Domperidone is widely used in Canada. There were about 2,000,000 prescriptions for domperidone in Canada in 2013.
At the time of this review, Health Canada had received 18 reports (no deaths) of serious adverse heart events with domperidone. Of these 18 reports, 12 reports were further evaluated to determine whether the use of domperidone was the cause of the heart events. Domperidone was found to be a possible cause for the development of heart events in most cases. However, it is difficult to determine to what extent domperidone contributes to heart events because other conditions known to cause electrical heart problems were also present in many cases.
Studies in patients have shown that domperidone may increase the risk of sudden death and serious abnormal heart rhythms. However, these studies had limitations, including small numbers of patients, and the possibility that factors other than domperidone could have led to the heart events. This risk may be higher in patients over 60 years of age, in patients using doses greater than 30 mg per day, and in patients taking domperidone together with drugs that can lead to increased blood levels of domperidone.
As part of this safety review, Health Canada received information from healthcare professional associations. Domperidone continues to be prescribed in Canada, sometimes at doses greater than 30 mg per day. However, some healthcare professionals consider measures to reduce the risk of heart effects such as requesting an electrical tracing of the heart (electrocardiogram or ECG) when prescribing domperidone to patients at higher risk of heart effects.
Cases supporting the association between domperidone and serious abnormal heart rhythms and sudden death have been reported worldwide. A search of the European Union innovator manufacturer's safety database found 342 reports of serious heart related events. In many of the reports, it was mentioned that patients had heart conditions or were taking other drugs that could cause abnormal heart rhythms. From 1982 to November 10, 2013, there were 137 reports of serious heart related events found in the World Health Organization database. These reports included serious abnormal heart rhythms, QT prolongation and sudden death.
There is evidence suggesting a link between the use of domperidone and the development of serious abnormal heart rhythms and sudden death. Risks are increased (i) in patients taking domperidone at doses greater than 30 mg a day, (ii) in patients over 60 years of age, and (iii) in patients taking domperidone together with drugs that can lead to increased domperidone blood levels or with drugs that are known to affect the electrical activity of the heart. This safety information applies to patients taking domperidone for any conditions.
Health Canada has previously communicated about abnormal heart rhythms with domperidone. In 2007, healthcare professionals were advised to watch for drug interactions and clinical risk factors that could result in changes to the electrical activity of the heart (QT prolongation) when using domperidone. In 2012, the prescribing information for domperidone was changed. It included advice to use the lowest possible dose of domperidone, and be cautious when prescribing domperidone to patients at high risk of developing abnormal heart rhythms. Health Canada, together with the Canadian manufacturers of domperidone, informed Canadians about these heart effects when taking domperidone.
At this time, to further reduce the risk of serious heart effects with domperidone, Health Canada has decided that additional measures are needed:
Health Canada will keep Canadians informed and take action, as appropriate, if any other new safety information is identified.

It is very logical that Saki refuse's his proposal. It will be really idiotic if she accepts the marriage. Because she knows that Haruto wants to marry her because he raped her and not because he loves her. Such a relationship will not be successful.
And because Saki refuse's it doesn't say nothing about her feelings towards Haruto (like she doesn't like him because she refuse's). It is very clear that she has some feelings for haruto. But Haruto on the other hand loves Shouko and not Saki. And she knows that. That is why she refuse's him because she doesn't want a pity marriage.
Edit: I am really happy that Saki refuse's his proposal. This shows that she is a strong character and doesn't want to be pitied by haruto.
And it also shows that she is not a character like flay alyster from gundam seed who only thinks about herself. Really Saki she has earned my respect. She is
one of my favorite characters.

If I understand well, I think it's Haruto's decision to stay away from Shoko because, while he wants to protect her and have enough balls to confess his love, he wanted to go away because he do not want Shoko to hurt his feelings very much (as implied in episode 2), which is probably why Saki will be by his side. The way she sees his feelings made me suspicious a bit, she doesn't even know why she loves Haruto as either a partner or just a teammate. I still support the childhood friend pairing, but I wouldn't mind to see Saki understanding more about hidden feelings from Haruto and same for L-Elf and Shoko but I need to seek myself for research of love first.

Aw, Saki was sitting next to a sleeping Haruto as he was recovering. Seems many are right on the money that she still loves Haruto and that they would end up spending more time together.
Don't worry Shoko, L-Elf can be your Prince still!

LOL, Fjoergyn. They really could've showcased the song better with a longer CM I think; it was far too short to judge properly in my opinion. At least I could hear the music better than the last one.

Here's what the new CM says;
Haruto: bokura ga chikyuu ni ikuu
We are going to Earth
L-Elf: omae ga dekiru no ka? hito wo tsukuu tame ni hito wo osou koto ga
can you do it? to save someone, you will also have to assault another
Haruto: Valvrave no noroi wa boku no mono da
The Valvrave's curse is MINE!
Shoko could eliminate those tapes of her hair please

It looks like the fight with Cain/Valvrave II took a real number out on Haruto. At least he has Saki right there next to him . Can't wait to see how they're relationship, and the love triangle overall, will develop this season.
What's L-Elf talking about? Haruto has been hurting others to save people since the first episode .
So New JIOR is off to Earth now? I wonder what they hope to achieve doing that. Maybe they're hoping to get support from ARUS?
From that small snippet of it, I don't think the new opening quite lives up to Preserved Roses though I might very well change my mind when I hear more of it.

Nice antique cut crystal open salts. These are a matching set.
1 7/8" diameter.
1 1/16" tall.
These are very old. There are some very small flakes from the high point of the cut edges but they blend well with the crystal cuts so they are not noticed and I debated whether to even mention them.
There is some imperfections in the bottom of one salt. Remember these are hand blown and hand cut. It looks like a crack but it is actually an imperfection in the glass.
See the photos. This is a great old set!

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
i had made an appointment with an attorney to find out what would it cost to hire her services as a corporate attorney with a business i might get involved. and she told me before she can quote me a price she has to get mi signature. next thing i receive a bill for over $5000 stating that was her retainer money. i told her that i did not get involved with that business and do not owe her anything. she has threaten to sue me. can she do that and how much she can get from me?
Your question is a bot confusing. Did you sign something? If so, then, you can be sued for acting or not acting appropriately per the terms of the document.
Now, a lawyer CAN sue you for non-payment of fees. However, under CA law, before they do so, they MUST offer to go to attorney-client fee arbitration first. If they try to sue before the demand for arbitration, and sue anyway, you can file a motion to force to go to arbitration. Additionally, if the lawyer sues/goes to arbitration, you will want to hire a lawyer so that you are protected in the area. If you never signed anything or told the suing lawyer you wanted to hire her, then she will be in a tight spot.
Contact a local lawyer, bring ALL communications from the old lawyer with you. Bring an 'un-executed' copy of her retainer as well. Do not wait too long, or you may just get sued. It is possible that a demand letter from the new attorney may stop the other lawyer in her tracks.

About me
Coaching is a big passion of mine.
My clients are people who want to change something on a deeper level, rather than only a behavioural change. They are change-makers who do their deep inner work and want to live their inner truths in the outer world.
It is about following the path of their authentic self. It is also about overcoming fears and obstacles which prevent them from living life fully.
I work best with people who are:
* Committed to real change
* Ready and willing to dive deep
* Have a sense of inspiration stemming from their desire for change
* Are committed to themselves and know the value of working with a coach.
I feel inspired to work with my clients to follow the longing of their soul to truly know who they are, and a path which honours and brings out their passion and their own purpose for living.
My approach
My approach is non-advisory, non-judgmental, equal. I do not 'fix' my clients. I do not provide solutions and give answers. Instead, I listen. I help my clients find their answers in their own world and discover their own truths. Coaching for me is a collaborative partnership which inspires and empowers them to their authentic path.
You are welcome to contact me for a free introductory coaching session.
The introductory session is about a couple of hours long and its main purpose is to see whether we are a good fit to work together. It is free of charge and has no obligation for both of us.

"It was fun," said Mabry. "I got a chance to talk with the coaches, hang out with the guys, and play some pickup. Me and my parents had a great time."
Mabry headed into the visit without a scholarship offer from NC State. Is that still the case?
"The coaches were straight up with me," he said. "They told me to be patient. In the next couple of days I think they are going to come down... Monday or Tuesday of next week. I'm pretty sure that we'll finalize everything then."
Previously Mabry indicated to Pack Pride that a scholarship offer could be dependent upon the recruitment of C.J. Leslie. At the time, NC State had just one scholarship offer available and is still battling UCONN and Kentucky for Leslie's signature.
"I don't think it's no longer about C.J.," said Mabry. "State had a guy transfer, Julius Mays, so that's where it is now. I think me and C.J. could both go there. I think it might be a possibility that happens... I don't know yet."
Mabry and Leslie both played last spring on the AAU circuit with the Carolina Cobras.
"That's my boy," said Mabry. "He was at NC State today with me. We were talking while I was on the way up there and he was there when I got there. We were just talking about schools and things like that."
Regarded as one of the top scorers in the state, Mabry capped a stellar high school career by leading Rocky Mount to the NCHSAA 3-A state title, the school's fourth title but its first since 1982.
He finished his career with 2,411 points, the 11th most in North Carolina history. He also broke Rocky Mount's scoring record set by University of North Carolina legend Phil Ford and holds the all-time mark for the Twin Counties (Edgecombe and Nash Counties).
"To say I'm the all-time leading scorer at my school and in the Twin Counties, that means a lot to me," Mabry previously told Pack Pride. "I mean, Phil Ford did real well at [North] Carolina and was the Rookie of the Year in the NBA. To break a record set by him... that's big."
Mabry is currently being recruited by NC State, UNC-Wilmington, Elon, and Rhode Island among others. As of now he indicated that he doesn't have a timeframe for making a decision.
He is rated the No. 45 small forward in the country and a three-star prospect by Scout.com.
