Topic: My Mum
I lost my Mum on 26 February 2007. She was 54 years of age and had been diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma a little over 6 weeks earlier. Words cannot describe the lonliness and emptiness I feel without her, because she was more than a mother to me. She was my best friend, my closest confidante and the only person who could always bring a smile to my face and calm my worst fears. It scares me to think that I am precisely half the age she was when we lost her.
My family lives in Australia, and went spent this last Christmas (2006) at the beach as we have since I was born. Mum was her usual bubbly self and spent the week swimming at the beach and taking long walks with Dad and her three beloved Schnauzers. While we were away, Mum was having terrible trouble with an itching rash, something like chicken pox. She was using all sorts of lotions, but nothing seemed to bring any relief. She also mentioned that her urine was a strange colour, but nobody thought anything of it. Toward the end of our 10 day vacation, just before New Years' Eve, I said to Mum that I thought her skin looked slightly yellow. She said she thought so too, but wasn't sure that she wasn't just suntanned. I made her promise me that she would go to the doctor when she returned from holiday.
Mum and Dad returned from the beach the day after New Years' Day. Two days later, Mum went to the doctor and was sent for a series of blood tests. By the weekend, she was admitted to hospital for more tests, we were told that she most likely had gall stones, but the doctors were puzzled because Mum wasn't in any pain. After various cat scans and more blood tests, I remember being called at home late Sunday night to be told that the doctors now thought Mum had pancreatic cancer. My brother and I raced to the hospital to meet Dad, Mum and my sister - we were all just blown away that in the space of one week, a (seemingly) perfectly healthy woman could be told that she had cancer. The following day, Mum had two procedures, first a laparotomy, after which the doctors decided her cancer was gall bladder cancer, and then an endoscopy to insert a plastic stent. She was discharged on the Wednesday and told that she would return for major surgery to try to remove the cancer once she recovered sufficiently from the procedures.
A little over a week later, we were back in the room with Mum's surgeon to be told what the surgery might involve. The doctor wasn't even sure which type of surgery would be required but basically said it would be either removal of the gall bladder and part of the liver, removal of the gall bladder and part of the pancreas, or, worst case scenario, nothing at all if the tumour was too far spread. We were told that surgery was really the only option for a cure - chemo and radiation not being very useful treatments for this type of cancer. I cannot even imagine the terror Mum experienced when she was told this news. It had been only 2 weeks since she first saw her doctor.
The following day, we went in with her for the surgery. We were told, if they were able to operate, it would take 6 hours. We said goodbye and went to sit in the ICU waiting room. I remember that there was another family in the waiting room, waiting for their grandfather to return from surgery for kidney cancer. We waited for 4 hours, and were feeling extremely hopeful because we thought surely such a long time meant that the doctors were able to operate. The other family received a phone call that the kidney surgery had been a success and all the tumour had been removed. At precisely that moment, Mum's doctor came into the room and from the look on his face we knew - he hadn't been able to operate. We all broke down, I remember my Dad collapsed in my arms. We then had to compose ourselves so we could go and see Mum in ICU. My sister and I went in together. Mum was moaning and in so much pain, it was the most horiffic thing I had experienced til that day. I had to leave the room with my sister before we both fainted. Telling Mum that the surgery was unsuccessful was worse.
Mum recovered quickly, and in fact was out of hospital about a week after her surgery. She seemed in great spirits and happily chatted away with her many visitors. But then came our greatest question - what now? It was at this stage that I think the doctors failed us. After Mum's operation, we waited almost 2 weeks to see her surgeon to be told what the biopsy results revealed. He told us only that he could do no more and gave us the name of the oncologist to make an appointment. Upon seeing the oncologist, we were told to come back for Mum's appointment on 22 February - basically 1 month after Mum's surgery. When we asked why such a long delay, we were told that treatment couldn't be done until Mum had fully recouperated from her surgery. Fine - but surely someone could have at least seen us to tell us what to expect? We weren't even told what type of treatment Mum would be offered. And so we waited almost 3 weeks to see the oncologist. During this time Mum was vomiting often, had lost her appetite, developed thrush in her mouth and had difficulty speaking. Her GP was some help, and ultimately it was he who came out and told Mum the absolute truth - that she would not recover from this disease, and that it would ultimately claim her life. Just prior to Mum's oncologist visit, she had a further surgery to replace her plastic stent with a metal stent.
On Thursday 22 February, we visited Mum's oncologist finally. We were told that Mum would be offered chemo and that hopefully it would relieve some of her symptoms and stop the tumour from spreading, but ultimately it would stop being effective. Mum was to begin chemo one week later. By Friday, the next day, Mum had deteriorated before our very eyes. She was so weak she could barely get out of bed, and seemed to be having trouble breathing, although when asked she told us her breathing was fine. She was worse by Sunday, and Dad told me she had barely slept during the night and had fallen down twice on her trips to the bathroom. I managed to get Mum to walk out and sit in the garden, a moment I'm so grateful for.
I felt miserable on Monday morning, and decided to take the day off work and help Dad take Mum to her psychiatrist. She was so bad when I arrived at home that I told Dad something was terribly wrong and I called her oncologist. After being told snidely by the receptionist that it sounded like Mum had "dropped her bundle" since her Thursday visit, her oncologist told me that if Mum seemed to being having breathing difficulties, she wanted to see her. She told us to take Mum to her psychiatrist and then bring her to hospital. I helped Dad take Mum to her psychiatrist. We had to dress her, lift her into the car and take her to the doctor by wheelchair. After the visit, I helped put Mum back in the car, kissed her and asked Dad to call me when he and my brother had her settled in the hospital.
At 7pm I received a phone call from my brother in tears. He said to come immediately to the hospital, Mum had stopped breathing and had been rushed to ICU. I raced to the hospital and met the family - once again in the ICU waiting room. Mum's oncologist was there and told us that they thought Mum had blood clots on the lungs - apparently a complication of cancer (which had been mentioned to us only in passing by the oncologist on Thursday). Mum was being given blood thinners and the next 10 hours would be critical. We were all allowed in to see Mum and I cry now as I write this just thinking about her. I like to think that Mum was conscious, she seemed to nod or shake her head in response to our questions, but she was unable to speak and was gasping for breath. I just remember thinking how cold she was. We were asked to leave the ICU while the doctors fitted a cathetar and moved Mum into a room so we could have more privacy. The ICU doctor followed us out and then told us that he couldn't promise that Mum would make it through the night. He had received some test results which indicated renal failure, and thought that her other organs would shortly fail. I called Mum's mother (yes, my darling Mum's own mother outlived her), sister and cousin. We were then allowed back in, but I was the only one feeling strong enough to go in straight away. As I approached the room, the doctor called to the pastoral care assistant to get the rest of my family. I asked what was going on, was Mum ok? No, said the doctor, right now she is dying. I collapsed on the floor. It felt like an hour until the rest of the family arrived in the room. We held her and kissed her and whispered our goodbyes, all the while I was thinking, this can't possibly be happening - it's too too soon. Her priest arrived and administered the last rights, and within 20 minutes my beautiful, happy, wonderful mother passed away.
Afterwards, the ICU doctor sat with us and answered our questions as best he could. But how do you explain this most destructive of diseases. It has shattered our family and we all just struggle with this thought that we should have done more. The doctors tell us nothing could have been done, but it doesn't help with this awful guilt I feel. I feel so many emotions - anger, guilt, bitterness, such incredible sadness I never thought possible, but most of all this unshakeable feeling that I've been deprived of the person who means most in the world to me in such a cruel, unforgiving way.
I want something worthwhile to come from this whole rotten ordeal, and so I am going tomorrow night to my induction to volunteer for the Cancer foundation in my state. I want to help other people. My wish is that no family dealing with cancer should have feel alone or helpless. I think information is the key, and unfortunately there is so little written about cholangiocarcinoma. I think this website is marvellous, and only wish we could have stumbled upon in earlier. I'm sorry for writing about my Mum's illness is such detail, but I hope that by getting it all out in writiing, I can start the process of moving through my recurring nightmares of Mum's final days towards the memories of the incredible, exhuberant, passionate mother I remember.

One of the things I love most about Southern food is that it draws flavor inspiration from cultures all around the world, yet still maintains a unique identity of its own. It truly is a melting pot of tastes—hot, sticky, spicy and sweet—all boxed up in one.
Take spoon bread for example, a quintessential down-home dish. Its name may not turn any heads (or open any mouths), but one bite is enough to convert even the biggest of skeptics. Spoon bread, in fact, has a pretty distinguished pedigree if you ask me. It's part French soufflé, part English Yorkshire pudding, but once you add the cornmeal, it's all Southern.
If you still can't wrap your head around this old-fashioned recipe, just imagine a rich, custardy version of cornbread worthy of scooping up with a spoon. Or better yet, picture the lightest, fluffiest grits casserole you've ever had. I mean, what's not to like?
There are a number of different cooking techniques floating around, some more complex than others, but after sampling more than a few, I kept coming back to this one. Spoon bread really is an example of Southern food at its finest—simple yet satisfying to the soul. It comes together with nothing fancy, just a few pantry ingredients all cooks have on hand. I did, however, throw in a handful of fresh Parmesan for good measure. Non-traditional, yes, but I don't think I'll hear too many complaints.
This cheesy (and easy) side dish would make the perfect addition to any Christmas dinner, no matter where in this world you live. I can't think of anything better to go with my family's roasted beef tenderloin, but I'm pretty sure it would taste just as good with a platter of piping hot fried chicken, too. Either way you serve it, count me in!
Parmesan Spoon Bread
Active time: 20 minutes
Total time: 55 minutes
Yields: 6-8
1 cup fine stone-ground yellow cornmeal*
1 1/2 cups whole or 2% milk
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
3/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons baking powder (aluminum-free if possible)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter the bottom and sides of a medium, round casserole dish.
In a heavy saucepan, bring the milk and cream to a gentle boil over medium heat. Slowly stir in the cornmeal. Continue to whisk vigorously (to prevent the cornmeal from clumping) until the mixture has thickened, about 2 – 4 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the butter, Parmesan cheese and salt. (If the mixture is very hot, allow to cool off for a few minutes.)
Whisk the beaten eggs and baking powder into the cornmeal mixture. Beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until completely blended and smooth, 2-3 minutes.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake until puffed and golden, about 35 minutes. Serve with lots of butter. (The spoon bread will collapse quickly as with most soufflés, but will still taste perfectly delicious.)
*If you can't find finely-ground cornmeal, process regular cornmeal in a blender for a few minutes until desired texture is reached. The finer grain yields a smoother spoon bread.
Nealey moved from Alabama to the West Coast to follow her dreams, only to realize once there how much she missed good ol' country cooking. So she took to the kitchen and began re-creating the dishes of her past, but this time without any help from a can. What started out as a hobby turned into an obsession, so she quit her day job to pursue cooking, and eating, fulltime. Dixie Caviar is where you can follow her pursuits of all things Southern.

A Washington Post poll showed that a majority of fans in that area understand the Washington Redskins nickname is inappropriate ... and they want the team to keep the name anyway.
This is why the issue is so divisive and intense. The history and tradition associated with the Redskins nickname has caused fans who won't even argue about it being offensive to dig in. Heck, it might be the only issue that Redskins fans support owner Daniel Snyder on, as local and national politicians have tried to get the team to change the nickname.
In the Post's poll about the Redskins name, 56 percent said they felt the word "Redskin" is an inappropriate term for Native Americans. Only 28 percent, half as many, consider the term acceptable. And yet, among Redskins fans polled, the Post said more than eight in 10 said the team should keep its name. Of all Washington-area adults, including those who didn't identify as fans of the team, 61 percent said they like the name and two-thirds said the team shouldn't change it.
And there's this: among "avid sports fans who have strongly favorable impressions of the Redskins," 15 percent said they would be less of a fan of the team if it changed its name. That certainly seems extreme, but it should give you a good idea the feelings on the issue.
The debate over "Redskins" isn't going away, but just don't expect the team or its fans to give up the nickname without a heck of a fight.

|Online at Cruising Speed
Developments in mobile satellite communications are ramping up onboard Internet access.
By Tim Clark — March 2002
American boaters crave convenience, and we set the benchmark high: We judge onboard ease in relation to the level we enjoy at home. Satcom systems developers KVH Industries and Sea Tel are responding to that craving with new solutions for Internet access at sea that may equal or even surpass the standards we're accustomed to ashore.
Most of the existing, at-all-affordable, satellite communications systems with data-transfer and therefore Internet capabilities fall well short of what we're used to shore-side in one important respect: speed. Inmarsat's wide-ranging Mini-M service transfers data at just 2.4 kilobytes per second (kbps). This rate is fine for phone and fax, but painfully slow–and at around $2.25 per minute, expensive–for Web surfing, especially since most of us are accustomed to at least 56 kbps at home. Motient's MarineSat boasts a rate of 4.8 kbps, and Globalstar boosts it to 9.6, but when it comes to Internet browsing, these speeds remain inadequate. KVH's and SeaTel's new offerings aim to blow such pokey speeds right out of the water.
The two companies are using significantly different technological approaches to achieve their similar goals. KVH has teamed up with satellite Internet provider DirecPC to provide a maritime broadband satellite Internet service that, at downlink speeds up to a whopping 400 kbps, rivals the fastest rates available anywhere. The investment in hardware necessary to take advantage of the service is considerable. To track a satellite broadcasting DirecPC's signal, you'll need one of KVH's 18- to 24-inch Digital Video Broadcast (DVB)-compatible TracVision antennas, which start at around $3,500. Additionally, yachts will have to be equipped with KVH's new TracNet Mobile Internet Server, which for $5,995 includes satellite and cellular modems, an 802.11b wireless connection for onboard PCs and laptops, and a high-volume hard drive for storing data broadcasts.

So I just made the big move to the Auburn-Opelika area in Alabama and while I'm happy to be out of KY (Q-wise; they eat sheep bbq there...) and further south where bbq is closer to what it is supposed to be (but still not quite brisket ), I'm not familiar with the area and I was wondering if anyone could guide me through all of the bbq possibilities here. Here's what I've found online and on the radio. Any info from anyone who has actually been to these places would be greatly appreciated.
Chucks - Apparently, they cook the butts over a HOT fire, not low and slow. You can get ribs Thurs-Sat I think. BOGO on chipped sammiches on Saturday
The Barbeque House (Price's?) - Don't really know much about this place accept that they serve breakfast.
Byron's - It was recommended to me by an old-timer sitting next to me at a place called the Creole Shack, but I don't really know much about this one either.
Country's - Apparently has an all-you-can-eat bbq chicken on Tuesdays and a $3.99 pork and two side special on Monday and Wednesday
I've also been working my way through the types of bbq and lingo in AL.
Chipped - sounds like its basically finely shredded (not pulled) and soaked through with sauce. Not my kind of thing. I like chunks of meat.
Chopped - Closer in size to pulled pork.
Chipped on the block - like chipped, but not soaked in sauce, only topped. Seems maybe exclusive to Chuck's?
I've also heard that typically Alabama Q uses a white, mayo based bbq sauce which I've made before but never eaten it from a professional. However, I'm not really seeing any of that on in any of the reviews.
Sorry for the long post. Any help would be great as I'm about to start trying these places out and don't want to just walk in and waste my money.

XY003 is the third episode of Pokémon the Series: XY.
Serena decides to go on a Pokémon journey and her mother wishes her luck. Meanwhile Ash registers for the Kalos League and is accompanied by Clemont and his sister Bonnie. Ash calls Professor Oak on the PC, and shows off his new Froakie to the professor.
Ash is about to begin his depature to Santalune City, when Clemont and Bonnie ask to join him on his journey. Ash accepts. The three depart, and are walking through a forest when a berry drops from the treetops, and a Dedenne comes running after it. Bonnie is overjoyed at the sight of the Dedenne, and thinks that it's cute. The Dedenne and Ash's Pikachu have a stare down, and their cheek puches release electricity to communicate with each other. Bonnie asks her brother if she can keep Dedenne, and Clemont allows her. Bonnie is about the give the berry that dropped from the trees back to Dedenne when a wild Fletchling swoops down from the sky, steals the berry out of Bonnie's hand, and eats it whole. Dedenne cries and runs away, saddening Bonnie, as Clemont says that Dedenne might not come back.
Ash's Froakie is enraged, and attempts to attack Fletchling. However, the Pokémon's speed and flight prevent Froakie from landing a hit. Ash attempts to stop Froakie from attacking so that they can form a strategy, but the frog Pokémon's stubborness wins out. Eventually, Ash manages to calm down Froakie, and begins to plan out a strategy.
Meanwhile, Team Rocket is flying in their hot air balloon. James complains that he is hungry, as the croissant he was about to eat earlier was stolen. Meowth breaks out some sandwiches, which are promptly stolen by an Inkay. This troublesome Pokémon was also the thief of James's croissant. James offers the Pokémon some more sandwiches, distracting it. James throws a Pokéball at the Inkay and catches it, much to the surprise of Jessie and Meowth.
Clemont pulls out an invention of his that is supossed to draw out bird Pokémon. However, the machine (which resembles a record player) instead draws out a swarm of Beedrill. As Ash, Bonnie, and Clemont are running away, Clemont attempts to play the machine faster, in hopes of it working. The machine instead explodes, sending the three flying into a large ravine. Clemont is discouraged at his failure of a machine, but Ash encourages him by saying that attracting all those Beedrill was no small feat. The Fletchling from earlier flies overhead, laughing at the trio. Ash forms a new strategy to catch Fletchling, using the cliffs of the ravine.
Ash begins another battle with Fletchling, and uses Froakie. Ash's Froakie uses the cliffs of the ravine to bring itself to the same height as Fletchling, and manages to knock Fletchling out of the air with a Bubble attack. Ash throws a Pokéball but the bird Pokémon manages to escape. Froakie creates a fake version of itself using it's "frubbles" (the same bubbles that go around the Pokémon's neck), which Fletchling gets caught in. Froakie knocks Fletchling out of the air again, this time with a Water Pulse attack. Ash throws another Pokéball, and manages to capture Fletchling. The Dedenne from earlier hides behind a rock and observes the three heroes as they continue their journey to Santalune City.
The episode ends with Serena visiting Professor Sycamore's lab, which is still partially damaged from the previous episode. Serena asks about Ash, and Sycamore tells her that he is headed to the Santalune City Gym. One of Sycamore's assistants brings out the three starter Pokémon (Chespin, Fennekin and Froakie) for Serena to choose.
- Human
- Nurse Joy (Kalos)
- Pokémon
- This is the first time James gets a new Pokémon before Jessie does.
- This is the first time where Ash turns his hat around in the Kalos region.
- Senena arrives at Professor Sycamore's lab and finds out the trainer she saw on the news is named Ash Ketchum, confirming she knew Ash sometime before he became a Pokémon Trainer. This is also shown in a flashback in the previous episode.
- Serena concentrated on looking cute at the beginning of the episode, suggesting that she may have a crush on Ash.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 6/9/2013 (1442 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
DEER ISLAND, N.B. -- Slip into the water, paddle soundlessly out of the small harbour at Seascape Kayak Tours and stretching out in front of you is the Bay of Fundy. Just you and the magnificent ocean view. Talk about getting away from it all. Here is a place in the middle of nowhere that feels like exactly where you want to be.
The Bay of Fundy is known for its world-famous tides, which are amazing, yes, but the bay also offers other wonders. And one of the best ways to experience them is right on the water. There is nothing like sitting close to the surface in a kayak, gently buoyed, the horizon endless, adventure just a paddle stroke away.
I met Guy Quinn when I was studying at Montreal's Vanier College, where I took up whitewater kayaking. Quinn, a newly retired outdoor education instructor at Vanier, is also a guide at Seascape, which operates in New Brunswick and Costa Rica. Not two places you might at first think have much in common -- but remote beaches and open water are enough.
Quinn invited me down to Deer Island last year for a weeklong employee training course to introduce me to the business. During this training I discovered that while whitewater kayaking is all about adrenalin, sea kayaking is all about acquiescence -- to the force of the tides and to the power of nature.
Seascape is a small company that has been running sea-kayaking tours since 1994. It is based on Deer Island, at the southern tip of New Brunswick. The island -- a nine-hour drive from Montreal -- is halfway between the equator and North Pole, and it's home to about 1,000 residents, a few restaurants and general stores.
No strip malls, no neon, no highways. Just the sounds of the soothing turn of the tide, a place with enough space to take a deep breath and then another. The only thing to worry about is how long to spend on the water today.
This remoteness is one of the area's best features for outdoor enthusiasts. One of the guiding principles of owner Bruce Smith is environmentally sustainable tourism. That means the focus is on small groups, helping local conservation efforts, establishing a connection between visitors and island residents, supporting policies that protect marine and terrestrial ecosystems and finally education, with such programs as free paddling for local school groups willing to contribute to coastal cleanup activities during the trip.
In 2010, Smith was given the Lifetime Achievement Award by the New Brunswick Department of Environment. The award recognizes "our focus on providing guests with a sense of place, an awareness and understanding of the Bay of Fundy marine ecosystem," Smith said.
Seascape offers a variety of outings, from sunset tours and day trips to weeklong excursions. You don't need to have experience paddling or to be a super athlete -- you just need to be keen to be on the water.
In the limit of one day, paddlers can see everything from barnacle-covered cliffs and bald eagles fighting over a catch to whales breaching. Seals seem to be especially curious, and one will often break from its pack to follow a pod of kayaks.
The company owns both double kayaks and single kayaks that can cater to all ages. All Seascape guides are experienced sea kayakers who have qualifications in wilderness first aid and have spent plenty of time on the water in the Bay of Fundy. All the tours start with safety procedures, rescue techniques and an overview of all the equipment that will be used -- kayak, paddle, PFD, sprayskirt and other safety gear.
Prices range from $65 per person for a two-hour sunset tour to $150 for a full day, which includes lunch and a short hike on a nearby island.
The company also offers more elaborate trips like the 10-day Newfoundland Bay of Exploits Expedition for $2,350, and a new three-day tour called KaYoga -- kayaking and yoga, "a combination of adventure and spiritual awakening" for $930.

The Federal Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve is no longer expected to announce a further round of monetary easing when it concludes its two day meeting in Washington on Wednesday. The fact that the hawks have lost enthusiasm for more quantitative easing is scarcely surprising, given the fall in unemployment, and the stickiness of inflation.
But until very recently the hawks have not been in control of the committee. What is more surprising is that the powerful group of doves which includes Ben Bernanke, Bill Dudley and Janet Yellen, and which normally has disproportionate weight on the FOMC, has also taken QE off the agenda .

Kissing fight - when a girl and a guy pretend to disagree on something stupid and go back and forth wittily until one of them kisses the other, and usually the guy tries to sneak in something witty during the kiss, but the girl he's with is the only girl with the ability to make him at a loss for words, and he gives into the kiss because she is so freaking amazing that he can't help it.
"Ana and Austin get into kissing fights pretty frequently."

Retailers are being invited to embrace the joys of their home county as Ilkley Carnival launches its "Yorkshire Tour" themed Shop Window Display Competition.
Jenny Rhodes, co-owner from 2013 winner Poppy Red, is calling for even more stores to support the carnival by dressing their windows in the carnival theme and having the chance to win a month of free public relations from competition sponsors Approach PR.
"The carnival is growing every year and we all have our part to play in its success," said Jenny who runs the children's shoe shop on South Hawksworth Street with her mum Helen. "We were delighted to win last year's shop window display competition. The PR prize saw us develop our social media profile, hold creative charity events and get our name out to over 200,000 people through the local press."
Suzanne Johns, shop window display sponsor and managing director of Approach PR, said: "The Shop Window Display competition is a very important part of Ilkley Carnival's build-up because it creates a sense of anticipation and offers a great opportunity for Ilkley traders to showcase their skills and points of difference while supporting one of the town's biggest annual events.
"We're hoping that the PR success stories of previous winners Poppy Red and Nora's Interiors and Gifts in 2012 will inspire even more retailers to get involved this year and we're looking forward to having the opportunity to apply our own award-winning expertise to the successful business."
Judged by the Ilkley Carnival committee members on Friday, May 2, and Saturday, May 3, stores are asked to create the most imaginative display that reflects the "Tour de Yorkshire" carnival theme.
The winning store will be invited onto the carnival's main stage on May 5 to collect their trophy and the announcement will be made in the Ilkley Gazette on May 8. To enter your business into the Shop Window Display competition contact Colin Watson on 07885 200640.

Last October, a pair of Austin shows sold me full-tilt on Alabama Shakes. I left evangelical about bandleader Brittany Howard's booming drawl — a distinctly singular fusion of ache and lilt than connects dots between Adele and Caleb Followill that I didn't previously know existed. Those shows came just days after a string of appearances at last year's CMJ music festival in New York that threw the blues band, from Athens, Alabama, headfirst into a whirlwind of Internet hype. Last month, another string of festival shows, this time at Austin's SXSW music festival, fueled the pre-album publicity machine. At SXSW, where everyone has a reporter's notebook, a Twitter account, and a chip on their shoulder, Alabama Shakes deftly pulled off one of modern show business's hardest tricks: They left with the same degree of buzz they came in with. They delivered on the promise.
But now that Boys & Girls — the band's proper debut — is finally here this week, it's next to impossible to separate the album from the hype that preceded it. The transcendent moments we experienced live feel oddly flat on record. Unfortunately, the bulk of Boys & Girls is neither gritty enough to match those shows nor slick enough to stand on its own as a distinctly different side of the band's personality. And yet, a little more than midway through the album, we get "Heartbreaker" — not a great song, per se, but a great calling card. It's a fairly standard slice of Southern blues, but when Howard belts the line "I wanna die!" it's impossible not to picture her falling to her knees like James Brown. Nobody could sing like this standing up. At that moment, you'll want to buy a ticket to see the band live. They'll no doubt be playing a festival near you this summer. And "Heartbreaker" will make you want to circle them on that festival's schedule. In which case, it's three minutes and 47 seconds that have done their job.
Because she loves the Velvet Underground as much as we do. This gorgeous slow-burner fragilely walks the line between gritty and ethereal, brilliantly hugging both edges without ever tipping over.
A Brief History of the Chant Song

Topic: Make sure you are sitting down.
I saw my Onc. today for the results of my CT scan on Weds, Feb. 1. I found out that when we started this journey last June my tumor was the size of a small cantaloupe. It is now the size of a baseball, not softball, but baseball. No signs of marble sized cancer cells in the right lobe.
Because of this scan, my overall health and the great chances of recovery, I will be undergoing a resection on March 1st. Obviously my wife and family are all walking on air today.
Prayer and true belief in God is the answer. He is active in our lives even though sometimes we wonder. My wife and I believe that God led us to this hospital and these Doctors. We believe that God led us to the right chemo concoction. That God was there with his healing hand on my shoulder leading us step by step to this moment of healing. Having never had surgery I believe he won't leave me on the operating table, even though I have my apprehensions about the surgery.
Sorry for the preaching, but I'm no saint, I'm a sinner like all of us, but for some reason I can't explain he is with me on this journey.
Thanks for all your prayers, and I say there is hope and a future for all of us fighting this disease.

Patient Bob Crouse NOT GUILTY on All Medical Marijuana Charges in El Paso County
{Colorado Springs, CO} -- Leukemia patient Bob Crouse celebrates a victory to use cannabis as his cancer treatment of choice. In a battle for his life that lasted over a year, on Friday, June 29, 2012 at 4:20pm, a jury of 12 El Paso County residents declared Crouse to be "not guilty" on all charges.
Click here for pictures of Bob Crouse celebrating his verdict with
legal edible cannabis:
Click here to watch the celebration outside the courtroom:
Crouse calls his win a "huge victory in Colorado for all patients."
Blood tests showed that in the months when Crouse has been able
to obtain and ingest a consistent supply of Phoenix Tears, his leukemia
cell count has decreased by HALF since his original diagnosis in
Crouse's treatment required him to cultivate up to 75 plants at a time. At his trial, his physician testified that this was a reasonable number of plants for Bob to use to produce his treatment. The Colorado Constitution states that medical marijuana patients can have as much marijuana as medically necessary and that it is up to the patient to decide what that amount is.
Additionally, cannabis expert Dr. Robert Melamede of Cannabis Science
testified that cannabis does indeed kill cancer cells.
The jury deliberated for less than 4 hours, which included a 1.5 hour lunch break.
Juries Are the Last Line of Defense
It has been said that juries are the last line of defense between a citizen and a tyrannical government, and that is exactly what we were seeing here in Colorado.
This is the second high-profile medical marijuana case to result in a jury acquittal in El Paso County this month.
On June 11, medical marijuana caregiver Elisa Kappelmann
was found not guilty on marijuana cultivation charges. El Paso County
is generally seen as one of the more conservative counties in the
state, but even conservatives have no tolerance for a rogue government
prosecuting cancer patients for trying to heal themselves.
Despite a medical marijuana law that was enacted over 12 years ago to protect patients, the state of Colorado has ramped up its prosecution of medical marijuana cases to a record level. It is up to the juries to toss these cases out, and they are standing up to their duty statewide.
There have been several other jury acquittals of medical marijuana
patients in other districts
In Adams
County in October 2011, medical marijuana caregiver Richard
Wainwright was acquitted by a jury of 12.
In Boulder
County in August 2009, patient Jason Lauve was acquitted
by a jury of 12.
Wasting Taxpayer Money
Crouse's trial lasted 5 days. Bob was represented by the El Paso County's Public Defender's Office, and prosecuted by the El Paso County District Attorney, so taxpayers got to foot the bill for both the prosecution and the defense.

Crouse Protest, Bob's Motion's Hearing
Thurs., Aug. 18, 2011
PHOTOS: Free Bob Crouse Protest, El Paso County Courthouse, Bob's Arraignment
Bob Crouse is a 63-year-old leukemia patient being prosecuted by El Paso County. He is charged with two felonies (cultivation and distribution), even though the amount of medicine and plants he possessed was well within the limits recommended by his physician and allowed by the Colorado Constitution, Article XVIII, Section 14 (Colorado's Medical Marijuana Law).
Bob was using cannabis medicine to treat the symptoms of his illness and also to attack the cancer directly. Numerous studies have shown that cannabis has anti-tumor effects. Bob was using a treatment called "Phoenix Tears", developed by a Canadian patient Rick Simpson (see www.phoenixtears.ca). This treatment requires several ounces of raw plant material to make one gram of medicine. Bob said that the Phoenix Tears treatment seemed to have a remarkable effect on his cancer. He said he could actually feel it attacking the cancer in his body like "scrubbing bubbles."
Please donate to the Bob Crouse Legal Defense Fund to help him hire a private attorney. Bob has not been able to work since he was diagnosed with leukemia 4 years ago. And he has also had to take care of his 90-year-old mother at the same time. The stress of his arrest and prosecution has drained his energy even further. Please help Bob stand up for all cancer patients in El Paso County and help him fight for his right to treat himself with cannabis, the safest therapeutically active substance known to man.

MYTHLOGIC Pollux 1400: Clevo's W150HR Testedby Jarred Walton on 8/23/2011 12:00 AM EST

CAndrews - Tuesday, August 23, 2011 - linkIs a review of the W520 coming? Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, August 23, 2011 - linkSadly, no. Lenovo has not sent any review samples to us for a couple years. Reply
TotalLamer - Tuesday, August 23, 2011 - linkOh really... ? What did you guys do to piss in their Cheerios? Haha.
But on another note... any chance of a review on the 3830TG you mentioned? It's a nice looking machine and seems like the only notebook that can even come close to competing with everything you can get in a Sony Vaio SA (except for the 1600x900 display) but I've heard not-so-nice things about the heat dissipation Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, August 23, 2011 - linkYes, I'm working on the review. And it really *is* a nice looking machine with no major issues so far. I haven't tried stress-testing it for heat yet, and that may be the one area where it has some problems. We'll see. Reply
TotalLamer - Tuesday, August 23, 2011 - linkYeah... I've heard there's throttling. Lots and lots of throttling. BAD throttling. Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, August 23, 2011 - linkI thought I saw something stating the GPU speed was 600MHz at one point when I was messing around (instead of the normal 672MHz of the GT 540M). Considering the dimensions of the chassis, I was actually quite shocked that they have the 540M in there. Reply
hybrid2d4x4 - Tuesday, August 23, 2011 - linkI briefly had the lowest-end config with the 2310 cpu and it throttled down to 1.3GHz under Prime95 without anything stressing the GPU, so I'm pretty sure I know what result you'll get, Jarred.
Still, at $600 you get a really good feature set and hardware for the money but the quality control is non-existing. Of the 3 I had, 2 had corruption in HDMI output that made it unusable and 1 had half the keyboard keys not working. Going to play the lottery some more today to try and get a working one... Reply
rallstarz - Tuesday, August 23, 2011 - linkThanks for the review! I am trying to decide between the W150HR and the Dell XPS 15. Since I don't much mind for limited battery life and don't mind so much the nonstandard keyboard, it seems that the Clevo gives the best bang for the performance buck. My only concern is the longevity of the laptop. Do you know if pushing the thermal specs will significantly decrease longevity? Also (and I know you touched on this) for general use/gaming, does the system hit max cpu load for an extended period of time, or is your "worst-case" scenario truly a situation that the system does not generally hit? Reply
mythlogic - Tuesday, August 23, 2011 - linkHey, I carry around one of these for my own use. It only gets REALLY hot (and never ever really hits 100 under "normal use") when i'm gaming on it, but just sitting on my lap its never too bad, or on a desk. Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, August 23, 2011 - linkPlaying a game for a couple hours, you can expect to hit CPU temperatures of around 90-94C, which is hot but not quite 100C. Reply
chinedooo - Tuesday, August 23, 2011 - linkmy hp dv6t blows this thing outta the water. Its thinner lighter, and the 6770m is a better card than the gt 555 Reply
bji - Tuesday, August 23, 2011 - linkThe HP dv6t is several hundred dollars more expensive at a comparable configuration, and I don't know if the screen is as good as the Clevo (not saying it isn't, I just know that the Clevo screen is one of the best, and I don't know anything about the HP). So I wouldn't say it 'blows the Clevo out of the water', it's better in some areas and worse in others (like price).
That being said, the Clevo sucks for many reasons (see my previous comment) so it may be that in useability the HP does blow the Clevo out of the water; I don't know as I have never used the HP. Reply
lolthisisfunny - Tuesday, August 23, 2011 - linkJust made an account so I could tell you that you are way wrong. The dv6t has REGULAR 30% coupons that bring the price of a 6770m laptop to as little as 800 bucks.
I used to have a dv6t, sold it, but for 1000 bucks with tax I got:
1080p matte screen
quad core 2630qm
amd 6770m
You won't find a better deal for raw specs anywhere else.
This mythlogic costs 1637. LOL Reply
bji - Tuesday, August 23, 2011 - linkYou are right, that is a better price. However, is the screen the same quality as the Clevo's screen? Reply
JarredWalton - Wednesday, August 24, 2011 - linkTake your dv6t price, add $250 for the 120GB Intel SSD, another $150 to upgrade the CPU from the 2630QM to the 2720QM, and an additional $120 to upgrade from the AUO B156HW01 v1 to the v4 -- both are matte, but the v4 is 95% NTSC gamut with slightly better viewing angles and better overall color.
You're at $1674 for the basic setup, minus a 30% coupon (if you wait around for one to show up), and you still have to pay $250 for the Intel 120GB SSD since you can't configure it from HP that way. Or, you can take the Clevo, drop the SSD, downgrade the LCD and CPU, and you'd be looking at closer to $1200.
Basically, it's the same price minus the 30% coupon you mention, which isn't always available. As for the graphics... well, that's a whole different can of worms. 6770M is faster than GTX 540M, but against the 555M it's a toss up. NVIDIA's Optimus versus AMD's discrete graphics however ends up woefully lopsided in favor of NVIDIA, unless you don't care about battery life? Reply
GSNorby - Tuesday, August 23, 2011 - linkNice review on the Pollux 1400.
I would point out one fundamental difference between the other Clevo customizers and MYTHLOGIC: The Phoenix Upgrade Policy is unique in my experience.
What this policy does is to assure people like me, who often agonize over component choices, that they won't be left in the cold when newer, better components come available. (In my previous experience, that happens about 26 seconds after the sale is final.) With MYTHLOGIC, you can upgrade very inexpensively, for the life of the system.
From their webpage:
You will be responsible for all shipping and handling charges (to and from MYTHLOGIC), plus our component cost plus 5% (limited to MYTHLOGIC approved hardware). All labor and testing is on us as part of owning a MYTHLOGIC computer.
The PHOENIX Upgrade process also includes your MYTHLOGIC computer going through the assembly, pre testing, software configuration, benchmarking and recovery disk creation quality checklists.
In addition your MYTHLOGIC computer will also receive extra pampering via interior and exterior case cleaning, software updates, driver and firmware updates and a fresh OS install topped off with a brand new Recovery Kit (At your option of course).
I have never seen this sort of policy offered by any other vendor. It really adds value to the system, and is the difference between investing in a system and paying over and over for the base unit when new stuff comes along. Reply
bji - Tuesday, August 23, 2011 - linkThe shell and most of the components are identical to several other Clevo models; I bought and sold a very similar Clevo W150HN laptop recently. I bought it because, like the review mentions, it is hard to get better bang-for-the-buck value than with this generation of Clevos. The cost of the entire laptop is not much more than the cost of the constituent parts, and you are getting lots of horsepower and a great display for your money.
I agree that the display is just incredible (I also got the 95% color gamut matte display and agree that it is among the best laptop displays available). And the laptop itself was fairly well built.
However, that's just about all that I can say that is good about this generation of Clevos. They run a bit hot and have very annoying fan noise (although it is my understanding that the W150HR has better fan controller firmware and runs the fan quieter and less often than the ridiculous W150HN). The keyboard is TERRIBLE. I know these things are subjective but seriousy, I could not imagine a more flexy, squishy, looser and more awkward feeling keyboard than that on these Clevos. Also they have a really dumb number pad layout that is nearly useless and wastes real estate (from what I understand; I never use number pads anyway but I did find the placement of several keys that I do use like delete and page up/down annoying). The speakers are regarded as some of the worst available on any laptop. And the headphone jack, at least on my unit and running under Linux, was not able to drive my headphones more than maybe 1/2 normal volume at the highest volume setting. The touchpad has a very unpleasant feel and is so super sensitive that just having your palms above it while typing is enough to send your pointer randomly off into no man's land frustratingly often.
Make no mistake, these laptops are ALL FUNCTION, and absolutely ZERO FORM. Meaning, that if you just need raw horsepower in the most ungainly package possible, then these are a really great value. If you care at all about the experience of using the laptop, then move on. These just suck. I was so disappointed that I sold mine after 2 months at a $400 loss. I was lured by the specs and excited to receive it but my excitement quickly wore off in the face of all of the useability issues with the laptop I found myself almost never using it, because it was so unpleasant. Reply
sablar - Tuesday, August 23, 2011 - linkI bought the MSI GE620DX which is very similar in terms of specification (555m, 144, 128-bit, 1080p) and in being kind of a budget gaming notebook.
Pretty happy with it overall. Mine settles in the low 80C and isn't very loud but I got the i5-2410 instead of i7 version for a good price so that kind of explains it. GPU is clocked higher and around same temp. Also has a good screen. Bad part is the touchpad which is awful with hard-to-press buttons and poor scrolling, you can't open it without voiding warranty if adding RAM or so, Could be an option for those looking at the clevo. Reply
JLM - Wednesday, August 24, 2011 - linkHad three criterea for a laptop. 15.6 inch FHD display. Fast graphics and a solid chassis.
Bought an HP dv6t and returned it for a horrible flex on the keyboard and cheap tin-can design and material joins.
Bought an XPS15 and returned it for a whimpy graphics card.
Looked at Alienware and rejected immature design.
Finally bought a Sager (this model) from xoticPC and could NOT be happier. Fast graphics, perfect display, no flex on the keyboard, no bloat, port positioning...
As far as build, better than the HP by far, about on par with the XPS. Design is completely understated and businesslike. Pressing down on all spots of the keyboard there is no flex like the HP...
Best of all, totally understated design. This thing could belong in an office environment no problem.
I bought three years parts and labor warranty and had them put on arctic silver. I guess if it gets too hot they will have to fix it. I can play games with it on my lap. It does heat up on the left side, but doesn't burn.
Highly recommended. Check out the notebook check review as well. Reply
bhima - Thursday, August 25, 2011 - linkI have the 540m MYTHLOGIC version of this machine and its been running strong. You can't beat that 95% gamut matte screen, I don't think I'll ever go back to a crappy base-model panel again. Reply
METALMORPHASIS - Thursday, August 25, 2011 - linkJust keep pumping out all those higher end laptops!
Looking forward to buying a lower end model for cheap one day! Reply
justben314 - Tuesday, October 25, 2011 - linkLate to the party, but was wondering why iBUYPOWER wasn't included in the breakdown of vendors offering Clevo laptops? At least at current pricing they're at least $100 cheaper for the same setup, sometimes up to $500 for the current comparison of P151HM1 setup I'm doing. Mostly concerned if there are serious quality issues that would make saving the cash a concern. Reply

Cedar Key police were kept on the run Memorial Day weekend when two people — an 18-year-old man and a juvenile — from Chiefland broke into several cars and at least one, possibly two homes in the Paroda, Whiddon and Shellcrest avenues area.
But the thefts are on the way to being solved with the arrest of one person and the search for a second person — a juvenile, said Police Chief Virgil Sandlin.
An Memorial Day concert and party on a sandbar on the Suwannee River that is popular with boaters got out of hand with fights and gunfire and the arrests of three people on Sunday by state Fish and Wildlife officers.

Roberto Petagine and DT Cromer...oops, wrong Red's chat
Roberto Petagine and DT Cromer...oops, wrong Red's chat
Never overlook the obvious
I think you have to distinguish between overrated before they came to the Reds and overrated after they left.
Once you have to set up the scale based on 1. number of posters overrating player, and 2. Actual performance of player since being dealt.
High on list #1: Denorfia, Broussard, Kearns, Lopez
High on list #2(High being lesser performance): Lizard, Broussard, Lopez
My number one player is Lopez followed closely by Broussard.
Is it solipsistic in here, or is it just me?
lotta Coffey drinkers out there
I drank the (Willie) Greene Kool-aid.
Reggie Taylor
I'll also throw out Jacobo Sequea.
When he was thrown in with Ryan for Juan Guzman, boy were there some worked up folks.
But that's going back a couple of message boards.
"I thought I'd get your theories, mock them, then embrace my own. The usual." -- House
"You guys are still thinking like doctors when you should be thinking like plumbers. Come on, I wanna see some butt crack." -- House
Redszone as a whole? Chris Denorfia, and as reds44 said, it's not even close.
Personally? I really bought into Brandon Claussen.
"Strickland Propane... Taste the meat, not the heat." - Hank Hill
"I thought I'd get your theories, mock them, then embrace my own. The usual." -- House
"You guys are still thinking like doctors when you should be thinking like plumbers. Come on, I wanna see some butt crack." -- House
I remember there was a lot of speculation a couple of days just before "the trade" went down - if I am not mistaken, there were a lot of rumors that Kearns and Lopez would be dealt for Willis and Cabrera. I think one scenario even had Tejado coming over for those two, with perhaps the lost of a couple of fringe prospects at most.
The fact that any of us (including myself) even thought it was a remote possibility shows how overrated those two were.
I remember many being irate when Denorfia got traded to Oakland last year - despite the fact he was already going to miss the entire year. He does not seem to be dominating the AL so far, but it is early.
Wasn't there some thought that Ryan Wagner was going to be the "think of the future"?

I wrote a book!

My other AmazonShort
Ryan Wagner was the going to be the next great closer....
Now his arm has fallen off
I don't think he ever approached Denorfia-level affection.

The Dark Side of GPS
|Why we really, truly shouldn't rely solely on satellite navigation, and why Loran may have a second life.
In the February issue of PMY, editor-in-chief Richard Thiel cautioned readers to always navigate with a pencil-on-chart backup plan because GPS–in fact any electronic device–is inherently susceptible to failure. Frankly, I was a wee bit skeptical. While I've regularly heard old salts like the chief expressing wary views of high-tech ways around the bridge, I've personally experienced a high degree of GPS reliability, not to mention the splendid operating features of GPS-driven chartplotters and PC nav programs.
Nonetheless, with more references to "GPS vulnerability" cropping up in the press, I decided to do some deeper research. I've now actually read the 113-page Vulnerability Assessment of the Transportation Infrastructure Relying on the Global Positioning System, also known as the Volpe Report, after the government research center that compiled its dry text. In addition, I spoke at length with a gentleman named Langhorne Bond, who retired from public service in the transportation sector–including a stint as Administrator of the FAA–only to spend the last five years shouting from lonely rooftops about the dangers of over-dependence on GPS. I surfaced with an entirely new attitude. It appears that the satellites seduced a great many of us, from top government regulators on down; and it's time to get real.
When the U.S. military released a GPS frequency for civilian use in 1990, no one anticipated how rapidly it would turn into a widespread technological religion. Soon I was packing my adored handheld on yacht deliveries and, like many of my brethren, thought the evolution to constant plotting on digital charts was the greatest advancement in navigation since radar. In 1994 the Coast Guard announced that Loran, the previous somewhat cranky method of electronic navigation, would be phased out in 2001. Foreign stations were turned over to host countries, and the market for Loran pretty much vanished.
Aviation authorities also began to see GPS as a total electronic navigation solution. Both the Coast Guard and FAA started working on their own "differential" systems to overcome the Selective Availability (SA) inaccuracy mandated on civilian GPS to prevent enemies from using it for targeting. In fact, about this time last year, the big GPS issue for us marine electronics pundits was the relative merits of the FAA's WAAS versus the Coast Guard's DGPS. How naive we were. Both have value for intensely precise navigation, but the truth is that when SA was rather suddenly turned off in 2000, GPS became sufficiently accurate for most pleasure boaters.

Early on in the book Helen and Carl are talking about Basil Frankie, the "author" of [i]Poems and Rhymes from Around the World[/i]. Helen says [i]Poems and Rhymes[/i] was published 11 years ago. (page 64 in the hardcover edition, I believe)
So, how does this account for Carl having read the poem to his wife and child some 20 years earlier? I know the culling song is an ancient Zulu spell and has existed in the Book of Shadows for who knows how long, but how was anyone supposed to read the book before it was printed?
Right now I'm re-reading Lullaby, I originally read it about a year ago and I didn't notice this. The "11 years ago" figure is only mentioned once, as far as I can tell - could this be a simple typo?

Jessica Alba is single
In what can only be described as THE GREATEST NEWS EVER, Jessica Alba has reportedly broken up with her boyfriend of two-and-a-half years Cash Warren. Not only that, she did it while in a different country and over the phone. Us reports:
Alba, who was abroad over the weekend promoting Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, called Warren on July 22 and told him, "I'm not in love with you anymore." Within hours, Alba had dispatched an assistant to the L.A. home they shared to pack up Warren's belongings and move him out.
That's cold as hell, but this is Jessica Alba we're talking about. She could've cut his testicles off with a chainsaw and she'd still qualify for some sort of humanitarian award. Besides, she's single now, which means I've got more important things on my mind than worrying about little baby Warren. Like how I'm going to lure her into my basement so I can perform sexy experiments on her. Ha ha, I jest, I jest. But seriously, I'm gonna need to find some rope.
NOTE: You'd think giant space glasses would deter me, but no, not even Zombie Hitler himself could keep me from this woman. I think the evidence speaks for itself.

Published: 2011-06-16, by Manu Galvez.
CamCard captures business card images by using your phone back camera as a scanner. It catches first names, last name, phone, e-mail, address and other extra info and put it into form labels. By this way you will be able to turn a physical business card into a vcard. Once you've caught all the data, confirm that everything is in its label and save it You will be able then to save the contact to your phonebook or to the app database, save it to your Gmail account or share it by SMS or other means. It also scans the image of the business card if it has one.
It has to be said that the scanning is quite accurate and it did it well with all the card we've tried. One of the features we really liked is the QR code generation/recognition for contact's content. And also that it has support business card recognition for several languages. CamCard has been integrated with LinkedIn and you can search/invite the card holder directly from the app.
Take in account that this is the Lite version, that will allow you to scan less than 10 business card each week. But if you need to scan more than that amount per week you'll need to upgrade to the paid versions which costs ($11.99).
CamCard has been developed by IntSig Information Co., Ltd, an app developer who has just launched this app (and its different versions) to the market with remarkably success.
This app is especially useful for those who constantly get business card from contacts and want to put in order them safely in his/her device. If that's your case, give it a try. But take in account that the Lite version let you scan maximum 10 business cards per week. If you need more, you'll have to upgrade to the unlimited version.

Pancreatic Cancer
Question on Insulinoma
Hi. I know this is not cancer-related, but of course it is pancreas-related. I have a 20 year history of "reactive" hypoglycemia. It was very manageable, as long as I ate about every three hours. Fast forward to last year. I kept getting more frequent episodes of hypoglycemia, and had to begin eating every 2 waking hours. I bought a glucometer, and was surprised to see that I would drop into the 40s about 2 1/2 hours after meals. An OGTT done two years ago showed normal fasting insulin and glucose: time glucose insulin fast 92 8.8 30min. 140 48 60min. 185 110 2hr. 145 175 3hr. 55 38 I saw an endo, and had a 72-hour fast, and never dropped below 62. I have since read articles of some people with confirmed insulinomas that didn`t drop during the fast, but DID drop post prandially. I was wondering if you could guide me on what my next step might be. By the way, I have lost 20lbs. in the last 5 months by lowering my carb intake, but still eat every 1 1/2 to 2 hours. I am still about 20 lbs. overweight now. 20 years ago when this started, I was 125 lbs. Again, I was wondering what might be the next diagnostic step in my uncontrollable hypoglycemia?
Thank you for visiting NetWellness. This question would be better answered in the Diabetes topic. Please look in that topic for an answer to your question.

TPWD Game Warden Field Notes
The following are excerpts from recent Texas Parks and Wildlife Department law enforcement reports.
Close Call — A Dallam County Game Warden reported that a landowner was moving his private elk herd from one pen to another when a bull elk gored the man. The elk's antler penetrated nine inches into the man's chest. Emergency surgery saved the man's life.
Good Works — Walker County Game Warden Zak Benge helped organize a Kidfish event for special needs children through the Bayes Achievement Center on the Jordon Ranch near Huntsville. The children caught more than 240 fish in 90 minutes using cane poles and worms. They were then treated to a dinner and numerous door prizes. Game Wardens Sophia Hiatt, Keith Foltermann, Brannon Meinkowski, Anthony Corcoran, Dean Fitzpatrick, Ernie Garcia, Dornell Crist, and retired Game Warden Larry Benge helped with the event. The Texas Game Warden Association donated money for food and t-shirts.
And More Good Works — Milam County warden Mike Mitchell joined with three other agencies in community education. The Department of Public Safety, the Thorndale Police Department, the Milam County Sheriff's Office and TPWD educated 388 schoolchildren in Thorndale. Through assemblies by grade level (kindergarten through high school), they presented a variety of topics to the youths. Mitchell covered water safety, gun safety, and law enforcement careers.
The Fish Gave Them Away — A Nueces County Game Warden responded to a call concerning undersized trout. Upon contact with the individuals, all were license-compliant and when asked if they had caught anything all replied, "No, but we are trying real hard." As the conversation continued, the warden questioned what the thumping from the ice chest was, at which time the individuals hung their head. When all were counted and measured, 12 undersize trout were located and appropriate charges are pending.
100 Snakes Seized — Abilene-area wardens and a TPWD Wildlife Investigator executed a search warrant and seized 75 venomous snakes and five turtles. Nongame permit violations were identified as well as city ordinance violations dealing with the prohibition of venomous reptiles. Later in the day, another residence was identified as being suspected of containing venomous snakes. An investigation resulted in another search warrant being executed and 25 more venomous snakes being seized.

On Saturday we celebrated my mom's birthday and I wanted to pull out all the stops. All the courses were made on the grill. My mom loves hamburgers and I figured I'd make two different ones. I made some potatoes called 3 cheese potatoes to go with the burgers. I baked the hamburger rolls too. For dessert we had grilled Apricot Pie a la Mode Sundaes. Lots of pix to get through so I'll let them tell the rest of the story.
The hamburger rolls use a recipe from the King Arthur Flour website.
I kneaded the dough with my hand mixer for about 6 minutes.
2 hours later and the dough has had a one hour rise in a dough doubling pail followed by another 1 hour rise in the hamburger roll pan. The buns tops have been brushed with an egg wash.
The tops of the rolls had some poppy seeds added. Time to bake.
The rolls beked for 15 minutes at 375.
The rolls are resting.
The potatoes were cut into 1" cubes. The other ingredients were diced onion, butter, finely chopped chives, grated parmesan cheese, seasoned salt & pepper.
The ingredients are tossed in a large bowl.
The ingredients are put in a foil pack. Some cubes of butter were distributed through the foil packs.
The foil pack is placed on the grill and grilled using medium heat for around 40 minutes.
This is how the potatoes looked after baking for 40 minutes in the foil pouch. I transferred them to a foil pan.
I've added diced bacon, and shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
The finished potatoes. These were a big hit with everyone.
BURGER NO. 1 - The Italian Meatball Burger:
This burger was made just like a meatball. It used ground beef & ground Italian sausage, Italian breadcrumbs, garlic, oregano, thyme, egg, thyme, basil & salt.
The burgers and buns have joined the potato packet on the grill.
The burgers have cooked for 7 minutes per side on medium-high heat.
During the last two minutes on the grill the burger was topped with some shredded mozzarella cheese. It is now inside and on the buns. The before the burger went out to the table it was topped with some tomato sauce.
BURGER NO. 2 - The Southwestern Burger
This burger used a simple ground beef patty seasoned with salt & pepper. All of the flavors for this burger come from the toppings. The first topping was a mustard/mayo sauce made from mayo, spicy brown mustard, cumin, lemon juice, salt & pepper.
The finished mustard mayo sauce.
The burgers cooked for 7 minutes on the first side and 5 on the second before being topped.
The first topping was a side of a grill roasted green pepper.
After the green pepper came some sharp cheddar cheese.
Some assembly required: The bottom bun receives the mustard/mayo sauce.
Next comes the burger topped with green pepper and cheese.
The burger gets topped with a slice of lettuce plus a slice of tomato and onion.
The burgers were sliced in half so people could sample each type of burger if they wanted or have 2 halves of the same version. The cheesy potatoes are on the table and it is time to eat.
The 3 Italian burgers have been cut in half and are in the lower left of this picture.
The 3 Southwestern burgers have been cut in half and are in the lower left of this picture.
The Italian burgers.
The Italian burger was very tasty and was like having Italian meatballs on a bun.
The Southwestern burger was a handful. I had to resort to skewers to hold it together on the serving platter. Though this burger was hard to eat, it was worth the effort with some simple but great flavors.
The dessert recipe was called Apricot Pie a la Mode Sundae.
The apricots were cut in half and pitted and then they were tossed in a bowl with some butter. Some carmel sauce and whiskey were mixed in a small bowl.
The apricots are on the grill.
The apricots grilled for 4 minutes a side on medium high heat.
Some more assembly required. First some vanilla ice cream which gets topped with 4 apricots.
Next comes some caramel sauce.
Finally some crumbled sugar cookies are placed on top.
Dessert is served. This was the hit of the meal, everyone cleaned their plates even though we'd all eaten too much before this.
This was a long busy and fun filled day making this birthday dinner for my mom. She (and my dad) loved everything, They are still talking about it a day later. Me I am still doing dishes a day later.

Perfect Brows & Sexy Lips! Stila Cosmetics at Levi's Show: MBFW Fall 2012
Sarah Lucero of Stila Cosmetics dished about the fab fall makeup looks from the Levi's fall show you can wear now.
-Evette Brown
Fresh and modern was the look created by Sarah Lucerno and her team of stellar Stila Cosmetics makeup artists at Levi's fall 2012 show. Sarah Lucero, one of Stila Cosmetics leading makeup pros dished on fresh looks for spring and how to achieve the perfect brow.
BettyConfidential: How did your relationship begin with Levi's?
Sarah Lucero: Jason Allen (makeup artist) is based here and he's worked with Levi's before, doing a few shoots here and there. He got the relationship going. I think Levis just trusted us as a team to create a look based on the vibe of who that model is. We had some ideas of going fresh, going modern, and going for a strong brow which we were all pretty excited to try.
Read Backstage with Bobbi Brown Cosmetics at Tibi: MB Fashion Week Fall 2012
BC: Speaking of fresh and modern, what is the specific look that you are going for with this runway show?
SL: We created this beautiful, flawless canvas without a lot of heavy makeup. It's really one shade fits all; it fits men and women and really makes the skin look flawless without a lot of makeup. This was important because we wanted the models to appear active and approachable, very modern, so we didn't want them to look like they're wearing makeup. We neutralized uneven skin tones with a creamy and beige matte foundation that plays off the natural contours of the face. For eyes, we kept them very soft with a little mascara and calm colors, but the brows are very strong. Lips and cheeks are fleshy and caramel and neutral. The overall look is very approachable and hip.
BC: What is the one makeup trend that will easily transition from the runway to our everyday lives?
SL: For this show, I wanted the models' skin to have sheen because I think a luminescent glow is so youthful and anybody can have luminescent skin. This spring and summer, I think we're going to see huge illumination trends across all brands. It's simple, it's chic, and it's very fresh.
BC: You mentioned that brows are strong in this show. What product did you use to achieve this?
SL: There's a great product called Stay All Day Waterproof Brow Color from Stila ($21, sephora.com), which is a little waterproof pen that creates little brow strands. I am obsessed with it. I didn't know how much I would be addicted to it as a makeup artist and as a woman. It really reshapes brows regardless of your shape and it stays because it is like a natural brow.
BC: What other products will we see in the show?
SL: There are a lot of vintage pieces in the show, so we wanted the makeup to have a classic look with a modern twist. I used In Stila Cosmetics Nude long-wear lip color ($20, sephora.com) which I pressed into the natural lip to remove redness and mixed with honeysuckle lip glaze. It is very sheer and shiny, but not too glossy. You can wear it with jeans and a sweater and just go. We wanted to play with textures that look really cool, so we went with these colors.
BC: If you had to give only one piece of makeup advice, what would it be?
SL: Wear what works for you, but don't be afraid to pump it up with a little extra that's right now.
Sidenote: We were given a cool makeup guide telling us all of the products used for the Levis show. In addition to the products she named, Sarah also used Chinois eye shadow ($18, stilacosmetics.com), Convertible Color in Lillium for cheeks ($25,stilacosmetics.com), and caramel prime pot ($20,stilacosmetics.com)for lips.

Happy Thanksgiving, Boneheads! We all have a lot for which to be thankful. Hope you spend today with family and friends and count those blessings.
Now, as for hockey: be thankful the Rangers don't always play like a bunch of turkeys, as they did in the first two periods last night.
1) There is no mail on Thanksgiving Day, but there is on Thanksgiving Eve, and a few of the Rangers' best players mailed it in. I won't name any names, but here's a hint: Gaborik, Frolov. And Tortorella beat me to that punch by naming names. Meanwhile, MSG kept showing us the promo for Friday's game, the one about how dangerous Gaborik is.
2) You've got to love Ryan Callahan's honesty sometimes. He said the Rangers stunk in the first two periods. Not that Stamkos or St. Louis or Tampa's power play were great. But that the Rangers stunk. And they did. They created nothing, they didn't fight through the Lightning's trap, they didn't get the puck in deep and work it.
3) Marc Staal and Dan Girardi … and I really don't like to always beat this drum. But they were bad, too. Now, on two of those first three goals on which they were on the ice, a forward didn't do his job: Prust and Anisimov in picking up the forward coming late. But on the first one, both defensemen hit the deck (knees first) twice, leaving the Rangers scrambling for the puck. On one of them, Staal turned over the puck with a chance to clear, then chased to the half-boards, creating an odd-man situation in front. And on one, he was flat-footed as Martin St. Louis buzzed past him like Secretariat.
4) This idea that you just have to stay out of the box against Tampa is idiotic. You can't play a whole game without taking a penalty. You just can't. Especially when you're trying to play an aggressive game.
5) If MSG Network is going to own the rights to all these area teams' broadcasts, then there are going to be nights when they all play. And if that's going to happen, and it is, then MSG has to do a much better job of telling people on what channel they can find their team. Because last night MSG couldn't have done it any worse.
6) Maybe Michal Rozsival will be an upgrade when he comes back.
7) Hey, I got this idea while watching the game. Despite this recession, despite the unemployment numbers, and despite how tenuous most of our jobs are, go out and buy somebody a $45,000 car for Christmas. Must have been subliminal.
