Thínk of the last tíme you went to the movíes. Even íf you watched a fílm about slavery or truck drívers, íf ít wasn't a documentary, odds are ít was fílled wíth vísual effects. Hollywood has perfected the art of CGI to where you won't even realíze what you're lookíng at ís completely faked.
Thanks to the vísual effects studíos of Industríal Líght & Magíc, Framestore, Sony Píctures Imageworks, and Rhythm & Hues along wíth vísual effects software company Imagíneer Systems, we were able to see what movíes would look líke wíthout theír "magíc." I was shocked by the amount of tímes my eyes were trícked.
In Lífe of Pí, the actor wasn't anywhere near a tíger.
He wasn't even on the ocean.
Sandra Bullock looked far above the earth ín Gravíty.
But she was safely ín a movíe studío.
In Wolf of Wall Street, Leonardo DíCaprío looked as íf they flew to Italy to shoot one scene.
He never left Los Angeles.
Scenes of víntage New York Cíty looked too good to be true ín The Great Gatsby.
They were too awesome to be real.
We all knew that Superman wasn't really flyíng…
But Henry Cavíll probably díd less than you thínk.
When Robert Downey Jr. looks líke he ís wearíng an Ironman suít…
He's actually just wearíng a unítard.
Transformers obvíously had a lot of CGí.
But díd you know just how much?
Alíce ín Wonderland was a beautíful movíe to watch.
Wonderland, though, was pretty much all CGI.
James Franco was a wonderful Wízard of Oz.
He just wasn't ín Oz.
He wasn't even close.
Pacífíc Rím was full of fíghtíng robots, so of course ít was faked.
But the entíre cíty of Hong Kong was dreamt up by desígners as well.
Zachery Quínto's huge, leapíng fíght scene ín Star Trek was vísually ímpressíve.
It was actually quíte tame to fílm.
One of the last sequences ín the Lone Ranger was beautíful and well shot.
It was maínly fílmed ín front of a screen, though.
The cool Hunger Games consoles weren't advanced technology.
They were just flat, green tables.
Mark Ruffalo wore thís suít to make the Hulk's movements look natural.
It took a lot of edítíng…
But they were able to pull ít off.
A lot of the scenes, actually, ín the Avengers weren't shot ín a real cíty.
Instead, the sequences were shot ín front of green screen backdrops.
Shootíng thís kínd of scene ín the real New York Cíty would have been díffícult to control.
Thankfully, they dídn't have to.
And Scarlett Johansson was never ín danger whíle fílmíng thís daríng scene.
Although she stíll had to jump on some guy's back.
For the Dark Kníght Ríses, the Píttsburgh football stadíum was used.
There weren't 80,000 people ín the crowd, though. The crews just fílmed smaller groups of people ín dífferent locatíons.
They also couldn't REALLY blow up the fíeld ín the movíe.
Thís ís what ít looked líke whíle ít was beíng fílmed.
Desígners added debrís to the stadíum.
Then, they dígítally replaced almost the entíre surface of the fíeld.
Díd you know just how much computer generated ímages you were lookíng at when you watched those movíes? I know to expect some vísual effects, but the sheer amount of dígítal edítíng ín movíes ís always surprísíng.
Share thís wíth your fríends. See íf they know just how much of the movíes they watch are completely fake.

The Waste Lands (The Dark Tower #3)
Stephen King
IT WAS HER THIRD time with live ammunition . . . and her first time on the draw from the holster Roland had rigged for her. They had plenty of live rounds; Roland had brought back better than three hundred from the world where Eddie and Susannah Dean had lived their lives up until the time of their drawing. But having ammu-nition in plenty did not mean it could be wasted; quite the contrary, in fact. The gods frowned upon wastrels. Roland had been raised, first by his father and then by Cort, his greatest teacher, to believe this, and so he still believed. Those gods might not punish at once, but sooner or later the penance would have to be paid . . . and the longer the wait, the greater the weight. At first there had been no need for live ammunition, anyway. Roland had been shooting for more years than the beautiful brown-skinned woman in the wheelchair would believe. He had corrected her at first simply by watching her aim and dry-fire at the targets he had set up. She learned fast. Both she and Eddie learned fast.
As he had suspected, both were born gunslingers. Today Roland and Susannah had come to a clearing less than a mile from the camp in the woods which had been home to them for almost two months now. The days had passed with their own sweet similarity. The gunslinger's body healed itself while Eddie and Susannah learned the things the gunslinger had to teach them: how to shoot, to hunt, to gut and clean what they had killed; how to first stretch, then tan and cure the hides of those kills; how to use as much as it was possible to use so that no part of the animal was wasted; how to find north by Old Star or south by Old Mother; how to listen to the forest in which they now found themselves, sixty miles or more northeast of the Western Sea. Today
Eddie had stayed behind, and the gunslinger was not put out of countenance by this. The lessons which are remembered the longest, Roland knew, are always the ones that are self-taught.
But what had always been the most important lesson was still most important: how to shoot and how to hit what you shot at every time. How to kill. The edges of this clearing had been formed by dark, sweet-smelling fir trees that curved around it in a ragged semicircle. To the south, the ground broke off and dropped three hundred feet in a series of crumbling shale ledges and fractured cliffs, like a giant's set of stairs. A clear stream ran out of the woods and across the center of the clearing, first bubbling through a deep channel in the spongy earth and friable stone, then pour-ing across the splintery rock floor which sloped down to the place where the land dropped away. The water descended the steps in a series of waterfalls and made any number of pretty, wavering rainbows. Beyond the edge of the drop-off was a magnificent deep valley, choked with more firs and a few great old elm trees which refused to be crowded out. These latter towered green and lush, trees which might have been old when the land from which Roland had come was yet young; he could see no sign that the valley had ever burned, although he supposed it must have drawn light-ning at some time or other. Nor would lightning have been the only danger. There had been people in this forest in some distant time; Roland had come across their leavings on several occasions over the past weeks. They were primitive artifacts, for the most part, but they included shards of pottery which could only have been cast in fire. And fire was evil stuff that delighted in escaping the hands which created it.
Above this picturebook scene arched a blameless blue sky in which a few crows circled some miles off, crying in their old, rusty voices. They seemed restless, as if a storm were on the way, but Roland had sniffed the air and there was no rain in it.
A boulder stood to the left of the stream. Roland had set up six chips of stone on top of it. Each one was heavily flecked with mica, and they glittered like lenses in the warm afternoon light.
"Last chance," the gunslinger said. "If that holster's uncomfortable—even tin- slightest bit—tell me now. We didn't come here to waste ammunition." She cocked a sardonic eye at him, und for a moment he could see Detta Walker in there. It was like ha/y sunlight winking off a bar of steel. "What would you do if it was uncomfortable and I didn't tell you? If I missed all six of those itty bitty things? Whop me upside the head like that old teacher of yours used to do?"

Which college degrees give you the best chances of finding employment after graduation? Nursing is one of the fastest-growing job areas, and for good reason. As the population ages, medical care will continue to expand rapidly. Concentrating on Central Georgia Technical College nutrition degree, for example, you may gain an advantage in job recruiting on-campus. Check with the nutrition department for course registration deadlines, and dieting program requirements. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Central Georgia Technical College.
The science of nutrition extends beyond a biochemical analysis of food, assimilation, and digestion within the body. Whole foods provide the energy and nutrients you need to maintain health. Required nutrients include proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water in abundance. Healthy eating isn't hard in fact, but it's a skill that must be learned. The key to nutritional science is to eat a variety of foods, including vegetables, fruits, and whole-grain products. Further, rehydrate with lots of alkaline, ionized mineral water, and limit your intake of salt, sugar, alcohol, saturated fat, and trans fat in your diet. The high water and fiber content in most fruits and vegetables makes them hard to overeat.
Start your morning by skipping high-sugar, processed cereals, and replace the eggs and some of the cheese in your omelet with vegetables. Swap out some of the meat and cheese in your sandwich with healthier veggie choices such as lettuce, tomatoes, sprouts, cucumbers, and avocado. Instead of a high-calorie snack, such as chips and dip, try baby carrots with hummus, or crunching on a fresh apple. Soft drinks including soda and energy drinks are a huge source of calories in many poor diets. One can of soda contains between 10-12 teaspoons of sugar and 150 calories, so a few soft drinks can quickly bloat your daily calorie intake. Switching to diet soda isn't the answer either. Instead, try switching to water with lemon, unsweetened iced tea, or carbonated water with a splash of juice. Beyond major requirements within the nutrition department, you may consider Fresno Pacific University CNA classes as a complementary elective to your primary course of study.

Obviously, you bought your TC Maserati because you understood you would be getting performance and a dash of luxury both rolled up into one vehicle. Chrysler automobile enthusiasts have come to expect a certain level of high-value when driving their TC Maserati around town. You purchased your TC Maserati because its reliability and a trusted name struck a chord inside you; so why would you settle for second rate when it comes to great quality auto parts? It's not every day that you discover you need a replacement Tie Rod to fix your automobile.
If we only drove in straight lines, then there would be no need for a steering wheel. That would take all the pleasure out of driving for Chrysler TC Maserati drivers, and it would also mean that tie rods would likely never have been invented. The tie rod ends on any car or truck join your rack and pinion or center link to the .10, allowing the wheels to pivot and turn. A broken Chrysler TC Maserati tie rod means your ability to steer is reduced and you will not be able to drive safely.
At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members here with enough expertise to help you purchase the correct Chrysler TC Maserati part for your project or repair. Ordering new Chrysler parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are getting the best deal on the absolute greatest original and aftermarket replacement TC Maserati parts on the internet. Don't let a Tie Rod repair spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by buying anything but the best repair parts. Need 1991, 1990, 1989 Chrysler TC Maserati Tie Rod parts? We've got them right here.

Bombings Deliver Tension Local Firms Seek Advice On Spotting Bombs In Mail
Wed., May 3, 1995
Darcy Malone and Mindy Floerchinger eye the stack of mail with suspicion.
Do the packages carry supplies or do they hold a bomb? Are the envelopes delivering letters - or death?
It's their job to sort through the pile of mail delivered to the Intermountain Forest Industry Association each day.
Recently, that job has taken on an element of danger.
The forest industry group they work for is one of only three in the Western United States. Two weeks ago the Unabomber, a serial bomber with a wood fascination, mailed a bomb to their sister organization in Sacramento.
A man died when he opened the package.
They fear the same could happen to them.
"We're the ones answering the phones and delivering the mail," Malone says, carefully picking through stacks of white and manila envelopes. "If someone is going to get it, it's going to be one of us."
Last week, officials at the timber association called in the FBI and a local security agency to teach them how to look for explosives both in their mail, as well as in the office.
Between the Unabomber and the Oklahoma City bombing, businesses in Spokane and Coeur d'Alene have swamped the U.S. Postal Inspector's office, security agencies and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, asking how to protect themselves.
"This is something everyone should know," said John Shull, general manager of the Watson Agency, a security firm in Coeur d'Alene. "It might help you survive."
In the last week and a half, Shull has taught eight classes in bomb detection to various Coeur d'Alene businesses, including the timber association.
Investigators say the Unabomber appears to be fascinated with wood. Some of his bomb parts are carved from wood; one victim was named Wood; and twigs have been included in a bomb.
He is believed to be responsible for 15 bombings around the country during the past 17 years. Three people have died. His last four bombs came through the mail.
The Coeur d'Alene organization, along with the agencies in California and Oregon, represent most forest industry businesses in the West. They lobby Congress and state legislatures on behalf of people who cut, sell and process timber.
The organizations are used to clashing with environmentalists, said Coeur d'Alene spokesman Ken Kohli. They expect vandalism to logging equipment or spray paint on their cars.
But threats to their lives are a whole new ballgame.
Shull, who spent more than 20 years disposing of explosives in the Army, spent an hour last week teaching the employees how to spot potential trouble.
"I teach them to trust themselves," Shull said. "If something doesn't seem right, then it probably isn't."
He tells them to watch for anything that seems out of place in their office. Packages that have too much tape or wrapping could be holding an explosive device together. He tells them not to be embarrassed to call authorities.
Floerchinger and Malone look at mail differently now.
"We used to grab it, flip it over and just slice it open," Floerchinger says. "Now we take our time."
Kootenai County officials also turned to Shull.
A couple of days after the course, a suspicious box appeared in Commissioner Dick Compton's office.
"Normally you'd go in and give it a kick to see what it was," Compton said with a laugh. Instead, "I was down on my knees reading the label."
It turned out to be a box of plaques to honor county employees.
Shull is not the only one who's been busy.
Postal Inspector Jim Bordenet has spent the last week on the road talking to businesses, many of them in the wood-products industry.
The Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms in Spokane has also been swamped with requests for information on how to detect bombs, said Bob Harper.
His office has given classes to employees in the Spokane Federal Building.
Despite the recent incidents, Bordenet and Harper said there is little for Spokane and Coeur d'Alene area residents to fear.
Of an estimated 181 billion pieces of mail delivered by the Postal Service annually, there have been an average of 16 bombs a year sent via the post office.
"One is more likely to win the lottery," Bordenet said.

|Quoting M404 (Reply 4):
If you would read your email (if you've made sure they have your adress) you would see that as late as 48 hours ago the negotiators called the company back to clarify points. Why should they put out information that is not yet set in stone? And now, only 48 hours later, you can see the proposal yourself in your email and the union site.

Manhattan, New York is the home to the historic landmark also known as Central Park. It is one of New York's most visited spots and it spreads far and wide through the neighborhood. Actually, about 25 million people visit the park a year.
There are very rare moments when the park isn't completely busy or overpopulated. Every time I see a movie scene that has been shot at Central Park I imagine the number precautions that had to be taken to find one solitary area in the 843 acres of land.
The park does have a set time of visiting hours and they cater to just about anyone, from 6:00-1:00 am. You could spend your entire day there and not recognize a soul/finish seeing the whole thing. However, one man has defeated those odds and took on the park during the only time that it was uninhabited, late late at night.

Rwanda general information report.
The total number of human living in the world of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights are about 6500
million Africa . The human of Africa is close to 1000 million
of which human of Rwanda are about 10 million . Rwanda
represent broad culture of different , languages, and lifestyles,
which require human rights protection.. Rwanda
represent systems of government very broad Republic.
is the small economy in Africa .. State capital is
Kigali -. basic languages Kinyarwanda (official), French (official), English
(official), Swahili and basic religion are Christianity, indigenous
.Rwanda are failing to provide Education free, at least in the
elementary and fundamental stages. Rwanda has only one good Technical
University / Business University. National-University-of-Rwanda is best
one and its online links is
University of Rwanda National-University-of-Rwanda is good for higher
education . But National-University-of-Rwanda not offer for higher
education .in human rights... Rwanda is also failing to provide basic human rights for
political stability. .
Abuse of children and women are more common in Rwanda.
Right information report is that Rwanda experienced
Africa's worst genocide in modern times, and the country's recovery was marred
by its intervention in the conflict in neighboring Democratic Republic of Congo.
The country has been beset by ethnic tension associated with the traditionally
unequal relationship between the dominant Tutsi minority and the majority Hutus.
Although after 1959 the ethnic relationship was reversed, when civil war
prompted around 200,000 Tutsis to flee to Burundi, lingering resentment led to
periodic massacres of Tutsis. Growth has exceeded 5% in the five years since
2001, driven by coffee and tea exports and expanding tourism; poverty is
widespread and Rwanda is highly dependent on aid .The UN International Criminal
Tribunal for Rwanda has convicted 27 people for their involvement the 1994
genocide The country is striving to rebuild its economy, with coffee and tea
production being among its main sources of foreign exchange. Nearly two thirds
of the population live below the poverty line
Guidance Information Report to claim Human Rights - in Rwanda
Rwanda has adopted Universal Declaration of Human Rights,
1948 and is member state of UN human rights since 18-09-1962
.Since, all people in Rwanda are entitled to all the rights and freedoms set
forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, color,
sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin,
property, birth or other status. These adopted human rights by Rwanda include
that Slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms;
none shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment
or punishment; that none shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention or
exile; Everyone in Rwanda has the right to education. Education shall be free,
at least in the elementary and fundamental stages. Elementary education shall be
compulsory. Technical and professional education shall be made generally
available and higher education shall be equally accessible to all on the basis
of merit. Further :-
The Republic of Rwanda is a member of International organization founded as the
Organization of African Unity to promote cooperation among the independent
nations of Africa. It has ratified many UN Human Rights Conventions and thus has
made binding international commitments to adhere to the standards laid down in
these universal human rights documents. In as far as Rwanda has ratified the
Optional Protocols for these Conventions, the inhabitants of Rwanda and their
representatives are able to invoke their human rights through these bodies. All
inhabitants of Rwanda may turn to the UN Human Rights Committee for violations
of specific human rights. Since Rwanda is an African Union Member, its citizens
and NGOs may file complaints to the African Commission on Human and Peoples
Rights. They may also file complaints according to the European Union guidelines
(on Human Rights Defenders, Death Penalty and Torture) to Embassies of European
Union Member States and the Delegations of the European Commission. In cases of
human rights violations by multinational enterprises, they may also invoke the
National Contact Point in an OECD member state. Rwanda has as yet not joined the
International Criminal Court.
Right information report based on
US Departments Reports, and
Amnesty International and many local
human rights activists
is that implementation of declaration on many articles is mere formality and administration human rights record remained poor although there were
improvements. Human rights of child for education and human
rights of women for dignity as given in declaration of human rights are
repeatedly violated
by police administration itself .Child human rights, Disability human rights,
Housing human rights, employment human rights,
Refugee human rights, Reproductive Rights, Trafficking human rights are
repeatedly being violated and there is no check over it,
by administration and adequate redresses system is not available. Domestic media
and local human rights activists Right information report available online is
that that police use of excessive force resulted in killings.
Right information report is that
US Departments report: Violation of human rights including abuse of detainees; harsh prison conditions;
corruption; official impunity; arbitrary arrest and detention; prolonged
pretrial detention; interference with privacy rights and restrictions on freedom
of the press, assembly, and association. Other abuses of human rights included female genital
mutilation , discrimination on the basis of ethnicity and nationality, and
restrictions on unions.

text: Jack CohenJack Cohen – Progress – A Prophetic Story By Jack Cohen Posted on October 11, 2014 Share Tweet Share Share Email CommentsIn his prophetic story "The Land Ironclads" written in 1903, the British author H.G. Wells foresaw the introduction of what were later called "tanks" into land warfare. He described a war between the "men of the country" against the "the men of the city," and it was the latter who were innovative, who introduced the "land ironclads", large metal clad containers that were mobile and that had men inside them, protected from enemy fire, who fired through holes in the armor and were able to shoot and defeat the enemy. Jack Cohen Note that this was before the ravages of trench warfare of WWI and the actual introduction of tanks into warfare in 1916 by the British. It was the introduction of the tank that revolutionized land warfare in the 21 years between the end of WWI and the beginning of WWII. Note also that Wells predicted that the men of the city, small, clever and innovative ("nerds"), would always defeat the men of the country, who were large, physical ("jocks"), but dependent on age-old means of war, such as horses and cavalry. H.G. Wells was also, of course the inventor of the genre of "science fiction" with his stories "The Time Machine" (1895) and "The War of the Worlds" (1898).It is not a great leap of faith to go from Wells' two groups of protagonists to identify the "men of the city " with the West and the "men of the country" with the Islamists (previously the Nazis). We have not only tanks and fighter jets (as well as air superiority) but also the control of vast amounts of technology, control of cyberspace and the means of electronic communication. If we can't defeat a bunch of crazy barbarian ideologues whose main means of fighting is the pick-up truck-mounted machine gun (an iron horse), then we are in for a great holocaust. One might argue that the "barbarians" in this case are able to use technology, such as flying airplanes into tall buildings as in the World Trade Center attack of 9/11/01 and the effective use of social media to radicalize and gain adherents, but note that they are using our own technology against ourselves. They do not have the means to develop new technology, such as the Iron Dome anti-missile system, themselves. Western Judeo-Christian civilization (for want of a better descriptor) has the concept of "progress" embedded in it. Every now and then we do have "back to nature" and "back to simplicity" movements, such as the hippie movement of the 1960s, with its cults and communes, and various "utopian" movements. But, generally speaking they have not stopped progress, for example going from radio to television to the internet or from records to tapes to CDs and DVDs to solid state memory devices. Even with our hands tied behind our backs by weak, ineffectual leadership and legalisms, we will still defeat those who want to go back to a medieval concept of living the life of Mohammed in 7th century Arabia. We do not want to go back, we want to go forward, and the future is with us. Jack Cohen: Born in London, UK, lived in suburban Washington DC area for 30 years, moved to Israel in 1996.

Vladimir Volegov is famous for his figurative paintings with the surrounding bursts of colour. This artist doesn't fit the modern "crazy" experimental style of painting. His way of portraying man may be referred to the great 19'th century russian school of painting. A landscape and man in Volegov's paintings interact with each other, in a natural, indivisible form. Watching these masterful works, leave You with an impression that man without landscape and landscape without man would be incomplete. This magnificent harmony of colours and light plus flawless craftsmanship, ensures a successful reception of his paintings. The artist doesn't try to please tastes of critics. He remains untouched by any temporary artistic styles and he enjoys a great deal of worldwide acclamation.
[Paintings by Vladimir Volegov source: artist's portfolio]
I was born on 19th of December, 1957 in Khabarovsk. The passion for drawing has begun in my earliest childhood. Until I was 12 years old I had often moved with my mother from one city of Ural Mountain to another. In 1969 my family moved to Krivoi Rog, Ukraine, where I went to art school №1. I started to earn money since 14 years old, by drawing a 3-meter posters for a cinema. In 1982 I entered Lvov Poligraphic Institute. Since 1985 I have headed an association of artists in Krivoi Rog, "Splav". In 1988 I moved to Moscow, where I started to work in several companies at the same time, "Melodia", edition company "Plakat", an advertising company "ReklamFilm", also I was painting portraits on famous street of Arbat. I used to make designs of CD's, albums covers, posters; since 1990 I have started to travel to Europe. I have drawn portraits on streets of Barcelona, Wien, Berlin etc. Since 1991 I have participated in a project called "A month of Artists" in Wels, Austria. This project was successful during 10 years. In 2004 I have started to collaborate with Weinstein Art Management. I signed a contract with Soho Editions, after this I started successful collaboration with Galeries Bartoux in France and also with galleries in Spain, Italy. Currently I live and work in Spain.
Vladimir Volegov was born in Chabarovsk, Russia. By the tender age 3, he was already experimenting with painting. Volegov attended Krivoj Roj for his art education, and after completing his military duty he was admitted into Lvov Polygraphic Institute in the former Soviet Union. By 1984, he was participating in International Competitions for poster art. He won many of the competitions he entered. In 1988, Volegov moved to Moscow. He began to be approached by prominent Russian publishing houses with job opportunities designing various media. Vladimir started to travel throughout Europe in 1990. He lives in Spain.

Ducati Marlboro Team riders Loris Capirossi and Alex Hofmann rode to Ddogged ninth- and 13th-place finishes at warm and muggy onington Park Dthis afternoon.
Capirossi finished the race exhausted and in pain, due to the chest injuries he sustained at Catalunya two weeks ago. After struggling to 15th at Assen last weekend, the Italian missed one practice session here (Friday afternoon) in a bid to rest himself for today's race but the 30-lap outing was still an endurance test for him. Hofmann, riding his second race with the team as substitute to Sete Gibernau, who broke a collarbone at Catalunya, never quite found the pace he was aiming for.
Capirossi now has almost two weeks in which to recuperate from his injuries and get ready for the German Grand Prix, round ten of this year's 17-event MotoGP series. The team is also expecting Gibernau to be back in action in Germany.
LORIS CAPIROSSI, finished 9th, 5th overall (107 points)
"Today was better than Assen but I am completely finished. It was very hard because I couldn't ride the way I want to ride. I tried to rest as much as possible here, which interfered with my tyre choice. I was smiling when it started raining this morning because I thought that would help us on tyres, but we don't get to choose the weather! After ten laps or so I started sliding around and also feeling the pain, so I just tried to keep Randy (de Puniet) behind me. Now we have two weeks before the next race, so I hope I will arrive at the Sachsenring in good shape, otherwise it will be another difficult weekend. We haven't had the results we deserve at the last three races, we deserve more than finishing eighth or ninth which makes me sad."
ALEX HOFMANN, finished 13th, 16th overall (19 points)
"We had problems all weekend, our tyre wear was a little too much for race distance, though we did improve tyre wear compared to the first day. It was a difficult choice but I chose quite a hard rear which initially didn't give me the feeling I wanted. It was difficult to pick up the pace, then when I did put in some strong laps and caught (Carlos) Checa, I couldn't keep that pace because I lost some grip. I feel pretty down because this will probably be my last race for the reds and I wanted to do extra good, I wanted to do improve on Assen but we had a tougher weekend here. Anyway, we did our maximum and I'd like to say thanks to everyone for giving me this chance."
LIVIO SUPPO, Ducati MotoGP project manager
"That was another heroic ride from Loris and thanks also to Alex for doing a good job at the last two races. This was another difficult weekend because Loris didn't do all of practice and Alex was still getting used to the bike/tyre package. Last year this was a difficult circuit for us, we've made a big step forward since then but we still need more. Now we have a two-week break, during which Loris should be able to get stronger and we also expect Sete to be back with us. A big thank you to our technical partners, in particular Shell Advance, for their support during these difficult races".

Happy Homemaker Monday!Monday, June 01, 2009
EDIT: Mr Linky's usual linkies are still unavailable. Please click on the green Mr Link text at the bottom of this post, it will open up a window where you can add your name and link.
On my bedside table:
Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind. Still loving the first book of the Sword of Truth series.
On my TV:
The Tudors Season 3
Robin Hood Season 3
North and South from BBC
On the menu for tonight:
We'll be out running errands all day so we'll grab something on the way.
On my To Do List:
Usual house cleaning
New Recipe I tried last week:
Paul Bunyan Burgers, Easy Bread. If you want to make them yourselves, hop on over to my food blog "Full Bellies, Happy Kids".
In the craft basket:
Dish cloths
Ripple bag
Summer tops and dresses
Looking forward to:
The results of Curt's promotion test coming out around June 18th. Please keep him in your prayers, it would help so much if he could make this promotion.
Homemaking Tip for this week:
My kids are constantly drawing me pictures and as much as I love them, they do tend to become a bit much. What I like to do is go to the Dollar Store and buy the cheap frames, then I dedicate a place in the hallway to all the kids artwork. I put up a few at a time, and change them out every week or two.
Favorite Blog Post of the week (mine or other):
I haven't had a chance to do much blog reading.
Favorite photo from last week:
Lesson learned the past few days:
Sometimes the bills become overwhelming and you have to decide whether to get groceries or pay the cable. It's not a bad thing, it's a part of life and just because one month you are late on the bill, does NOT make you a bad person. I've had to learn this lesson because when it happens to me I get the worst feeling of guilt.
On my Prayer List:
My brother Bruno who had surgery on Saturday
My grandmother who has had some issues and is home recovering
Soldiers overseas
Devotionals, Scripture Reading, Key Verses:
If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes. —Mark 9:23

Great post! I LOVE the bread photo and will have to try this sometime! I am hoping to make Monkey bread with my daughter today! :-)ReplyDelete
Happiest Monday to you!
Thanks again for hosting this. I find it so encouraging and reread many of the posts during the week when the stress comes on.ReplyDelete
I love the idea of using the cheap frames in the hallway for the kids artwork. I've been looking for a thrifty dining room piece and I think I'll adapt it to work for me.
Your bread looks yummy. I love the Tudors so much and now have all three seasons on DVD, for camping viewing.ReplyDelete
Happy Homemaker Monday
The Raggedy Girl
I always enjoy these posts from you. I've been wanting to watch the Tudors, but other things seem to always find it to the top of my Netflix queue. Is your hubby testing for Tech? My friend is awaiting results for her hubby this month as well. My husband is actually testing today(for Staff). Really praying he makes it.ReplyDelete
I love these Happy Homemaker posts. I've got to get back into the swing of things so I can do them too.ReplyDelete
I was moving money around today to pay cable, and found I had some left, even though last time I used that account I had to ring the bank as something didn't go through. Then to have $100 left, strange. I was ordering fruit/vegies/bread. Luckily I took out a bag of nuts and it worked.ReplyDelete
Thank you for reading and taking the time to comment. Please be respectful of each other and my blog. Rude comments will be deleted.
Thank you for stopping by, hope you are having a Blessed day!

A fanciful notion
"Rituals happen in all aspects of the home. From the perfectly groomed exterior to the intricately planned meals that occur on the interior, A Fanciful Notion explores the perception and reality of the home. Lindsay Scypta and Ron Geibel use their intricate use of ornamentation as their common ground to explore these ideas. Geibel utilizes multiples to create his porcelain topiaries, which disguise intimate objects within the work as an overarching sexual commentary. Geibel's work questions whether what lies on the interior truly matches the exterior. Scypta is dissecting components of the home, where the table as a place of social intimacy and the dinnerware as the objects that define the choreography of the meal." Caitlin Brown

In the last two weeks of chemo, your nails get streaked and shadowed as the last of the cells die. Yellowish brown, like dirty animal claws. The highest of the chemical cocktail tides pushing its way out of your very fingertips. You have hit maximum saturation. You have been like an Egyptian hairless cat for months, that money you save on razors and the warm blankest at the hospital being the big bonuses of the treatment. Also, no eyelashes. Well, okay, three randomly placed ones on each eyelid and no eyebrows. The over all effect is one of a lizard. A friendly Geiko insurance kind of lizard, but a lizard nevertheless. Freaky!
We are always shedding dead cells and skin and hair and aging and transforming, but chemo treatment simply magnifies that which usually goes unnoticed. During the last two weeks the nails have become brittle and broken half way down the nail beds. New growth is coming in healthy and pink. Pushing its way out. My head stubble is getting longer by the day. Hopefully eyelashes are not far behind.
The last week of chemo, as well as the first weeks after are surprising. Unwinding is not linear. It is choppy. Three steps forward, two steps back. Or one forward and three back. Full of energy, or incredibly tired. I do not push through. I rest when my body says to. Sleep is my bestest friend.
A great excitement when you know there is only one more, you are almost done! The horse is racing back to the barn but suddenly it veers right, because, you start radiation in 10 weeks, so you are NOT done yet. Not yet. Not only not done, but stepping into yet another unknown experience of which you should have no preconceived notion of how you will respond. Oh yeah. Shit. I almost forgot…
There is nothing to "get back to", only where you are now and the unknown you are heading for each moment. Not attempting to recapture, or replicate, but allow something fresh and true with where you are right now to emerge.
When I share these images and these stories, it is so that others who have never ridden this ride, can have a glimpse into what it is like. It is a knowing smile and secret handshake I offer to those who have.
I continue to love the alien that I have become. She who emerged from this deep inner space adventure, stripped down to bare bones, spare and unadorned.
Next stop…Radiation Land. Stay tuned…
"Sometimes the bear will eat you. Sometimes you eat the bear. " -Joan Armatrading-
I am interested in option C…
One of the most challenging aspects of cancer entering my world, has been the language and energy that surrounds it. "War on cancer. Fighter. survivor." It is angry, aggressive, destructive. Prompts fight or flight response. Cancer is more nuanced than that. It needs to be listened to.
Trust me, I don't want to have cancer take over my body. I love being here on this planet as a human being in a fragile yet wildly resilient skin suit. I am thoroughly committed to living cancer free for a very, very long time, and I am not storming through the brush with a machine gun and a blow torch, screaming "Fuck you cancer! Die! Die! Die!", going all Rambo and shit on it.
I do not like the energy around "killing, destroying, crushing, obliterating etc."
I believe that cancer shows up when something is out of balance, and our inner world goes off kilter when our outer world is out of balance. Our outer world on a global level is seriously out of balance. We are endlessly bombarded with too much work, too much stress, too much information, too much worry, exhausting relationships, toxins in every form in our environment. Even if we love what we do, we can still be pushing too hard. Idling too fast. I know I have. God, have i ever.
Yes, I am actively participating in chemotherapy. Today is #11. One to go. The plan is to begin radiation in September. I have doubts and questions about this. These are treatments that target killing cancer cells. I am aware of that, but I am choosing to see it as a process of cleansing my system. Wiping the slate clean. Cancer cells are healthy cells that have gone rogue. The treatment is to get rid of the rogue cells and create an environment where they won't return. Then we have to do everything in our power to support our immune system, our adrenals, our nervous system, digestive system and tend to our emotional state.
Cancer shows up to call us out to be uncompromisingly honest with ourselves and how we are living our lives. Will you listen, pay attention, and make changes? Or will you angrily, fearfully ignore the guidance and attempt to hurry up and kill it so you can go back to living your life exactly the way you were before.
I am sitting quietly with my cancer and listening closely. There is no going back, only creating something completely different. There is a difference between timid and shrinking and strong and silent. What can I change in my life and the way I respond to it? Where to put my energy and attention to transform it? Neutralize it.
How do you enter the cave knowing there is a bear in there and not be terrified of waking it? Do not cower in a corner, endlessly striking matches and straining your eyes, but listen to it breath in the dark and be okay with that. Maybe in some odd way you can cohabitate. Sleep with the bear. We won't disturb the cancer, the cancer doesn't disturb us. Cancer is always present in our bodies, but it takes a trigger to activate it. Can we put the gun down and do something else?
This approach resonates with me, and I am working with that stratagem.
I embrace Stratagem C…
One of the most common experiences during chemo is a loss of appetite and nausea. Food tasting off or with a metal aftertaste. Difficulty keeping weight on. This has wonderfully, not been my experience. I am flourishing like Jabba the Hut with my bald head and insatiable appetite. My physique modeling itself after Lord Varys, the eunuch on Game of Thrones.
Hot. So hot.
Early on in my treatment, I had a reiki session, which was utterly quenching, as my body was screaming "what the actual hell are you doing to me? Again!?"It was also unsettling to feel my energy, my interior landscape, so far off-center. After my session, I was talking with my friend and he remarked how hard he could feel that my body was working. The image that came to his mind was of a group of men endlessly shoveling coal into the furnace on a steam ship and this huge steel mass cutting through rough roiling waters. We now refer to my eating, as "time to feed the Coal Men".
I rarely feel hungry, it is more this need to eat. My body needs fuel and the furnace can never be sated. I graze through the day. Mostly healthy, sometimes not. Protein smoothies, green juice, roasted chicken, watermelon, hummas and veges. A fine burger, vegetable sushi and seaweed salad, Annies Mac n'cheese, (comfort food) Indian food, sometimes pizza. All of the things, do I eat.
On the super challenging days, there is a hang-over quality to my gut, that craves grease. French fries do the trick beautifully. French fries are their own food group in my world under any circumstances. Since my metabolism is sluggish (ironic understatement) from the chemo, and I have ceased the two hours of exercise I have done for years, 6 days a week, I have gained 10 solid pounds. Not my favorite, but my body needs to be fed and for me to be gentle. I walk every morning and every night, even on the bad days. Not power walks or hikes, but a flowing deep breathing, walking meditation. Moving the molten liquid through my veins, my lungs, allowing it to infiltrate thoroughly and clear a new clean path.
No dance, no yoga, no gym time. Not that I physically can't, but it feels wrong in my body. I am learning to listen, instead of powering through. Surprisingly, it is not hard to not do. I am excelling at it. I am golden in the Not Doing arena. I am motivated to seek Pro Status in Not Doing. Until it is time to Do again.
Loving people in my community bring me food three days a week. It is an absolute blessing. I sit on my porch, looking out over the bow of the ship as it cuts through the waves, the choppy seas, breathing deeply despite the weight in my chest. Feet planted under me, knees soft as I roll with the movement. I rock with the ship and I feed the Coal Men who work so diligently. This is my job, and it has my full undivided attention.
I salute the Coal Men and my generous community. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Years ago I read an unsettling collection of short stories by Barry Yourgrau, titled, "Wearing Dad's Head." The stories were dazzling examples of the short story form, most of them between a paragraph and one page in length, packing in an amazing amount of nuanced back story, atmosphere and punch.
They read like fragments of bizarre dreams. Funny and creepy, asking you to jump right into the middle of something already underway and there was a logic and deep understanding of what you were working with, and you just went with it.
The story titled "By The Creek", concerns a boy who "borrowed" his dad's head while he was taking a nap. (Relax, this is not Game of Thrones.)
How cumbersome it was to move in it as it bobbled about straining his neck.
His voice muffled through his father's thick lips. Trying his dad on for size. At the end there are a half-dozen giant headed young boys gathered at a small pound, skipping stones, while their fathers torsos silently nap in hammocks and on beds, unable to snore.
Six years ago, two weeks after my final chemo treatment, (first go round) my father was diagnosed with brain cancer. Dad's head. He died 18 months later, that was three years ago.
I always seek out the same bed in the chemo lounge. To the far left, against a window with great sun. I can stretch out like a cat, do some yin yoga. If that one is occupied, I take the one next to it.
Always the same nook.
Last week, Pat, the charge nurse at MSTI, mentioned that she had read a post of mine and how much she enjoyed it. It helped her understand the other side of the equation even after 19 years of working in the chemo lounge. She knew my dad and enjoyed seeing him when he came in for his treatments. How sweet and funny he and my step mom, Syd, were and that he always chose the same bed in the same nook that I did…
Last week, I rode the rougher waters of the 48 hours apres treatment that flatten me into a liquid lead soaked paper doll. I am dressed in black leggings and a light blue soft cotton mans shirt rolled up at the sleeves. The same color combination and outfit my dad lived in. The same kind of shirt, actually. My forearms spotted with the same white flecks that come from so much time in this skin suit, my right hand mildly swollen with fluid retention, it looks like his.
One hand mine. One hand his.
We made each other laugh so much , but were always mildly awkward and challenged in communicating about real things. Our time together infrequent and infused with a high-octane Disneylandish excitement level when he was home with my mom and my brother and I, and then he was gone. The adrenaline rush and the crash.
How many smiling yet heavy silences we shared together. Silence on the outside, as all of the questions ricochet around on the inside. Not wanting to spend what time we had together on anything that wasn't easy or fun.
Trapped in our own heads.
The hanging baskets of geraniums on my lush back patio, identical to those in his backyard around the pool at his house. Their private, peaceful haven. I couldn't understand why they never left the house when they were home. Now I find myself never wanting to leave my house, my geraniums, my porch, my solitude.
How much he gave of himself as a performer.
Endlessly available, for everyone else.
The vein I have laid open in myself to be available to every one I came in contact with over the last ten years, has been closed off and cauterised. Motivations questioned, reviewed and analyzed. I will not move forward in my life in the same way. Acknowledging the similarities and being clear about the differences, finding a space of understanding and maybe some insight. I attempt to look out through his eyes, to learn and make peace with us both.
Happy Father's Day daddy. I love you.
"Finally my mind caught up with my mouth…
My apoplexy ceased. My fury lost its redness. And, for the first time that trip, I really took my parents in: Dad's once-chiseled face, collapsing with age. Mom's hair, pinned up in a bun, one step closer to hoary and desolate white. How old they'd become. How many more visits would I even be blessed with? How many more chances to make things right?…These were not the same people who had raised me. Those people existed only in my head, caged and rotting behind my tight, unhappy grin for decades while my actual parents got older, gentler, wiser: while their bodies fell apart and their souls grew deep." -Shozan Jack Haubner A Zealot Comes Home–
"Sitting in the waiting rooms of doctor's offices, reading articles on the effects of soy on tumors. The importance of filling your plate with a rainbow. The usual wishful lies, tragic in their insufficiency. Did anyone really believe in them? As if a bright flash of your efforts could distract death from coming for you, keep the bull snorting harmlessly after the scarlet flag." – From "The Girls"- Emma Cline-
There is nothing remotely special about having cancer. All the kids are doing it. Seriously.
It's no longer a long shot like being struck by lightning, it is more a given, like paying taxes., unless you are the President because he doesn't pay taxes, or at least we are not sure if he does or not, which is unfortunate for oh so many reasons. All of the parts of that sentence are unfortunate.
Cancer is Kevin Bacon, only with two degrees of separation. It. Is. Every. Where.
My grandmother, my father, my mother in law. Five friends, six acquaintances (in the last three years) and not a day goes by that I don't hear a story of someone else.
Not one day.
Most of them my age or younger.
Half a dozen more friends of mine are living with or are in treatment for it or just got diagnosed.
In the time that I started to write this post and the day I actually posted it, I learned of two more friends of mine who are dealing with this and three more people who have died.
Sometimes people go quickly, sometimes they get many years, sometimes it goes into remission never to return. Sometimes people in dire Stage Four territory beat the odds, and sometimes a seemingly easily treatable case goes south at breakneck speed. Anything can happen.
Deep steadying inhalation and a big fucking exhale.
Life is not a bitch. It is amazing and breathtaking and hard as shit some times. Challenges that will take you to your knees can happen, and how they affect us depends on our ability to allow them to help us evolve. I do not believe that I brought this on myself, this is not some "Secret" bullshit run amok ("if only I had more positive thoughts and manifested harder!") I am not being punished, it is not karmic, it is not part of God's plan. It doesn't really matter what I ate or what I eat, (within reason) It is a perfect storm of multiple ingredients, but I do believe that stress and over giving of oneself emotionally is the finger flick that can tip the dominos of cancer into action, except when it doesn't.
This is the life landscape through which we navigate. Acknowledge that we have no control and yet be proactively involved in our lives. Live attentively not recklessly.
One driven by grace the other by fear.
As I put the brakes on, sit still and reorganize where and how I put my energy out into the world, the people I choose to bring into my field, paying close attention to the factors that may have tipped my dominoes, I imagine that sheer awareness and understanding of how I got here will grant me a deferment. My life visa will be stamped and extended and Death will smile and say, "Nice work. Way to pay attention and make changes." This is the reality I choose until proven otherwise.
I continue to relish my quiet time, (even as it is tinged with Chernobyl), and my attempts to put words to the chemo ride. I feel like we got this, my prognosis not dire at all, I am dealing with the ravages of chemo not cancer, I've got a long life a head of me, unless, of course, I don't. It could just as easily be me as someone else, and I am not in control of that at all. So I continue to dance and spin and leap and dodge waving my scarlet flag and singing "not today."
Until it is.
My heartfelt love to the loved ones and families of those who have shifted dimensions.
The adventures continue…
Okay, "tear out your hair" is a bit harsh. How about "let loose your hair"? Being a veteran of the chemo process, this being my second go round, I was familiar with the hair loss part of the show. I like this part. Really. I find it fascinating that your hair begins to come out of your head just by running your fingers through it. Bigger handfuls, bigger payoff. The last time I was obsessed with the process and left it out in my garden for birds and squirrels to make nests with. I loved this process of release, of re-purposing. Shedding your past.
It took till the third treatment round for the hair to begin to go. About three days in, you can actually gently pull small handfuls out. It is deeply satisfying, like peeling a perfect sheet of sunburned skin. I am allowing you to peer entirely too deep into my psyche….
After a few days of pulling and combing and shedding, I went to my hairfresser and had my head shaved. I kept a bag of hair and a dear friend of mine put it into an encaustic art piece that hangs in my living room. (See my blog, " I am not like I was before" https://jodeenrevere.wordpress.com)
So, as I geared up to fo through this second round, I was secretly thrilled to go through the hair release again. I wanted to have that experience first and then shave my head. I didn't want to skip any of the parts, and, well, I like it. It appeals to my delight in the sensory. I scare my friends.
On the day of my third treatment it was the full moon and my hair had just begun to release its hold on my scalp the day before. Of course I played with it all day. Observing the color, the texture. The shine of the silver and grey strands, the auburn/brunettey blondness of the bulk of it. Later that night I was getting ready to go to bed, but realized I had not yet seen the full moon and thought I would wait to see it rise.
It was a perfectly still and warm night, right before we got the 30 degree plummet two days later. I walked outside in my bare feet, padding down the block, watching her slow ascent between the roof lines of the houses and the leafy trees. Breathing deeply of the late spring to summer air. Breathing in the transition fullness. Making my way back to my yard I stood in the grass, feeling the pulse of the earth underneath me and stood still as the moon rose into view. You could almost hear it move through the night sky. As I stood there in the moonlight, all of my witchy DNA snapped to attention and I did the most obvious normal thing. I began to walk the perimeter of my house and mark every tree and shrub with strands of my hair. Combing my hands through, taking a small handful and the gentle tug and release as the hair came out. I draped it over the tree branches, tucked it into the bushes, sprinkled it on the ground and in the flower beds. "This is my home. This is my place of healing and rebirth. I willingly relinquish this way of being for something new, clear and expansive. I say "yes" to the unknown." All the way around the house I walked, talking quietly to myself leaving a trail behind me. Gifts of me to the night.
I felt shifted that night. Ready for the next phase. Two days later, before I could look like a Barbie doll who had her hair done by someones sadistic little brother, I went in and shaved my head. The sense of lightness. I felt the last 6 years of my life with all of the over extension, emotional exhaustion, relationship turmoil and not feeling quite right in my body, slide off of me in a pool at my feet. Yes, I have it in a bag in my room and it shall be released into the wild. Duh.
In many mystical traditions hair is thought to be a source of a persons power and strength. The longer the hair the greater the power. It is an antennae towards the heavens, connection to the ancestors, and a testament to your past. There is a certain duality in that idea (always intriguing) both the cumulative wisdom and foundation that we develop during our lives that we carry with us, as well as the weight, trauma and habitual patterns we drag around with us, that are stored in our cellular body, that are stored in our tissue, our hair.
As the hair fell to floor I felt the heaviness fall away. Saw my self emerge, my light brighter, even more hi-def (as if that is possible, apparently it is) Although I love my long hair and I do derive a sense of power, my femininity and my sexuality from that expression, shaving my head holds all of the same intensity but from a different perspective. The power of not being stuck in your past, not dragging everything forward, but shrugging off a heavy cloak and stepping out naked into the world on a fresh path. Your past has helped inform who you and will forever be an integral part of your makeup, and now, you can move forward making different inspired choices, not patterned responses. The antennae is turned inward to listen, not outward be told.
What if my DNA are being rewired through the chemo and I am being enhanced, upgraded for an entirely new chapter of my life? "I am not like I was before", and why would I want to be the same person I was six years ago, or 10, or 20 or 30 or…..? I am being challenged to shift, to adapt, to see what's next. When I am complete with my treatment, I will not go back to how things were before. It will be even better, and my life was pretty great before. I don't know what that is, but it will be fresh and expansive and I am ready to start anew with my sleek aerodynamic self.
Suddenly a couple of weeks ago, I started having thoughts about bell jars and not the Sylvia Plath kind.
Plath's character Esther in the Bell Jar experienced her madness as "an airless jar that distorts her perspective on the world and prevents her from connecting with the people around her".
Although I understand and have had that experience of isolation myself, this time the image of the bell jar is a self contained place of quiet and comfort. Deliberately stepping away from the outside world to, reflect, to gather up, to heal.
I am blessed with a fabulous home, a marvelous landlord and the ideal roommate. It sits in the heart of the beautiful North End of Boise, Idaho. Truly idyllic neighborhood. Close to downtown, to everything I need. During the summer I rarely drive my car, but am on my bike or on foot.
I have a porch surrounded with tall trees and an expanse of sky. A dogwood tree that when I catch it out of the corner of my eye fools me into thinking it is snowing. Bird song, the chattering shenanigans of squirrels, the ringing of the wind chimes, the scents of flowers, trees and freshly mown grass.
I now understand Emily Dickinson in a way I never contemplated before. If your eyes are open, what is right in front of you and in your consciousness is more than enough to be endlessly engaged, enthralled and moved. Why go out?
There was a day last week a couple of days after the first chemo when I was leaden and stalling out and I spent 7 hours on the futon on the porch. It rained gently, winds blowing softly and then gale force sending blossoms spinning. Blue skies punching through clouds, the color contrast knob dialing up on the entire scene with God light and then turned down to mute. I was entranced, wanting nothing. Utterly content.
Sitting still and watching the landscape around you kaleidoscopically shift and change. Never still. Never stagnant. Always in motion, no place to get to. Right now, right now, right now.
I read a lot. A couple of books in already. Some writing. I go for walks. Gentle yoga. Lots of sitting quietly and breathing, feeling my body dial down, cells killed off. When do you get to experience your own death and not die at the end? That is amazing. I am fully having this experience. I am paying very close attention. My body keeps loudly reminding me to be still. Be very, very still. I am listening,.
I am fully aware of what a gift it is that I can take this time. My expenses are minimal, no house or car payment. I don't buy stuff. I live really well and very simply on very little. I have a tiny cushion to float me for a month and my lovely community is keeping me nourished. I am very, very lucky.
So I have stepped off of the carousel and I have no intention of stepping back on. Many new choices and priorities being made. I feel that this experience is about making me stop, listen, recommit to my well being on all levels, not get through this "horrible ordeal so that I can get back to my life". Not backwards but forwards and my life is happening every moment between those two made up constructs.
Excuse me, but I need to get back to listening to the trees. My life depends on it.
First chemo, kicked pretty hard out of the gate for four days, then the tide goes out and you get your footing. Then for reasons unknown, 6 days later, I went about having a "normal" day. By normal, I mean how I would have operated prior to being enrolled in Camp Chemo.
I had a client that morning. A bit of down time. Rode my bike (slowly) to Yin. My first yoga in 10 days. How wonderful it was to not be teaching. Not driving the boat. Tell me what to do, please.
Pedaled slowly home. Had lunch. Had a client. Paid bills. Read for awhile. Rode my bike to dance class…
Are you wiping the tears of WTF?! from your eyes as you knowingly shake your head, "What is wrong with her?!" Yeah.
Although the body felt fairly okay, my brain exploded in emotional meltdown. "I'm never gonna dance again, chemo feet have got no rhythm!….." I am fat and steroid bloated, I am old, I am utterly OUT of my body, I have no business being in this class with these young fit, healthy women…I will not dance anymore ever again. I am sick, what if I really am dying, what if this is the last time I ever get to dance and it ends like this. A shortened future of senior water aerobics and Zumba for the infirm?!" Blah, blah, blah.
It was ridiculous.
A million tears. My ladies gathered around, held me. Loved me. "How can we help? Are people bringing you food? Is there something organized? We will take care of it."
I rode my bike the few blocks home and listened to my body.."NO MORE DANCING RIGHT NOW! Be quiet. Be soft. Do less. Be still. Walk. Gentle Yin. It is not business as usual. Your business, your work is to heal your body, so knock it off!" Got it..
Within 24 hours my friend Erin had put together a Meal Train site, with a write up that made my heart swell, all but four dates are covered with people bringing me amazing meals and money has been donated as well to help with medical expenses. Blown away.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
I am saying "thank you and yes, please" again and again. It is my mantra. I am leaning into the support, the love, the generosity and letting it be part of the healing. Crowd surfing. Trusting. People want to help. They want to tend to each other. This outpouring is beyond a Village, it is a small country of people who are tending to me. I am staggered at their love and generosity.
There is a part of me that feels guilty about this. My cancer has been removed. It was in a low stage of development. It is not metastatic, although it is the third time it has shown itself. My prognosis is "We got it, now let's do clean up for safety measures." I do not feel that I am living with cancer, but making my way through chemo and radiation. The ease of my situation is not lost on me at all. I am humbled by that and it is still so, so challenging.
This week's treatment was a kinder, gentler flavor of "really not right." I appreciated that tremendously. As I get ready to go in again the day after tomorrow, I try not to have any expectation of how it will be. We never know. *Life hack.
In as much as I am crowd surfing on the love, I need, in equal measure, to be willing to toss myself into the mosh pit of treatment, trust that process and let myself be carried forward to a new and unknown destination.
But at the very center of the crowd is me holding my arms wide open to catch myself.
I've got you Jodeen. I will choose you and take care of you first.

LOGYKAL Vortex SimRacing just won the 2017 iRacing Le Mans 24h (3rd split) !!!
After a absolutely flawless race, with a excellent strategy (and being lucky of not suffering from the mass-disconnects) we are so happy to win this big race! 388 Laps of tough competition. All drivers involved did a wonderful job, keeping the car in one piece. Now it is time to rest, get some well needed sleep (and maybe a shower as well...)
Thanks to our competitors on track. It was a pleasure ra...cing with you!See More
Georg Naujoks making sure to keep us awake with a "donut"
Luckily we only lost 10 seconds
35 minutes to go and regardless of how this ends, there is something that needs to be said:
Without Denis Garèse there wouldn't be Vortex SimRacing. You initiated all this and you can be proud of "your" team. You are truly "Mister Vortex"!
Tris Tan put a lot of effort into this LM24h event, although you didn't even participate as a driver. You took care of many details, took workload away from Denis and allowed us drivers focus on turning the wheel into the right direction. T...hank you!
Former Vortex driver Gabor Mecs provided a baseline setup, that was already top-notch out of the box. But with a lot of help from Thomas Bouché we were able to adjust some small details to finally get a perfect car for this event. Thanks for your support!
Joel Guez is the genius behind the Joel Real Timing app, that makes our life so much easier. It handles fuel calculations and so much more. Much appreciated!
Special thanks of course to our sponsor LOGYKAL. It is a honor to represent this company during these kind of events! Even more to have owner Fernando Nuñez as a driver behind the wheel.
Thanks to all drivers involved: Joel Guez, Luis Omar Rodríguez Sobarzo, Sacha Fenestraz ,Tony Repussard, Georg Naujoks, Robert Grosser, Fernando Nuñez, Philippe Lambert and Lucas Laville.
We are in the last stint. Still P1 and 40mins to finish the race. Georg Naujoks is the last driver of this great team
Less than 4 hours to go and the LOGYKAL car is leading!
Some bad luck for Revolution SimRacing got us into the lead after 19 hours.
Philippe Lambert is the man behind the wheel. It will be him and Georg Naujoks who drive the final stage of the race. Bring it home guys!... See More
9 hours to go for the LOGYKAL car!
Fernando Nuñez is about to end his triple-stint, handing the car over to Georg Naujoks. We are running solid P2, barely on the lead-lap. No real threat from behind. Still a long way to go but our drivers are doing a phantastic job!
Update after 13 hours:
Lucas Laville and Robert Grosser carried the car through the night with each doing a triple stint. Both are done with driving now. Fernando Nuñez just jumped into the LOGYKAL HPD, defending P2.
The leaders seem to be out of reach. But still 11 hours to go...
After 8 hours, our LOGYKAL car is P3. Fernando Nuñez did the last double stint and now Lucas Laville is driving another triple stint. So, good job guys!

The Marines can have their bracelets, after all.
The policy change takes effect immediately, according to a statement released Tuesday by the Marines. A formal directive was expected to be disseminated throughout the Corps later this week.
"We are acknowledging the close personal nature of our ten years at war and the strong bonds of fidelity that Marines have for one another, especially for those fellow Marines who we have lost," Amos said in the statement.
Marine Corps Uniform Regulations specifically prohibit the wearing of most jewelry. Enforcement of that policy has been spotty when it comes to the memorial bracelets, but the Marine Corps Times, which is not affiliated with the service, found rule-conscious officers less willing to look the other way.
That, in turn, produced this story — and a good deal of controversy.
