Oscar winning actress Dame Helen Mirren has thrown her financial backing behind Greenwich Theatre, praising the good work it does with young playwrights and actors.
Today, the theatre announced the appointment of three new patrons including Helen.
Lucy Bailey, regular Royal Shakespeare Company director, and winner of the Whitbread Book Prize, Ali Smith join the 67-year-old actress in supporting the cause.
Helen, who is preparing to play the Queen in the West End opening of Peter Morgan's new play, The Audience, said: "I am delighted to support Greenwich Theatre by becoming a patron.
"At a time when theatres face so many financial challenges the work that Greenwich Theatre does with young and emerging theatre makers, guaranteeing them a break in this tough industry, is inspiring."
The star's career began in the role of Cleopatra at the National Youth Theatre.
From those beginnings she has become an international star, with her leading role in The Queen in 2006 earning her an Academy Award, Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Award and BAFTA Award for Best Actress.
Lucy Bailey, one of the foremost stage directors in English Theatre, said: "When I first came to London I used to travel across the city to see the shows at Greenwich Theatre.
"I've since moved south and have lived in Greenwich for 17 years.
"Compared to north London, the south of the capital does not have enough cultural provision - Greenwich Theatre has been and continues to be a beacon in a relative cultural desert."
Ali Smith, Whitbread winner for her novel The Accidental, added: "I couldn't be prouder to be a patron of Greenwich Theatre.
"I've seen some of the best, most unexpected, most energised and most intelligent theatre there that I've ever seen.
"It's the kind of place you leave on a high.
"Greenwich Theatre makes space for risk-taking theatre right across the board(s).
"I particularly love the way it welcomes productions from young people still in education. "Greenwich Theatre is the place for a whole new education in what's possible."
James Haddrell, director of Greenwich Theatre, has been working over the past five years to transform the venue into a home for emerging theatre makers and an inspirational resource for children and young people interested in watching or being a part of live performance.
He and the team have made it the kind of venue where you will find unusual, challenging, exciting new theatre.
James said: "That work is beginning to show real results, our audiences have doubled in five years, and we now support a host of young companies, from school age to emerging professionals, in carving out a place in this competitive but thrilling industry.
"We could not be more proud to now announce three such distinguished figures as our new patrons.
"An actress who has journeyed from the National Youth Theatre to the stage at the Oscars, a writer who has supported young people by denying professional applications to stage her work in favour of an ambitious school production, and a director with a reputation as one of the most significant stage directors in this country who had the integrity and commitment to open a new venue, the Print Room, at a moment when public subsidy was clearly dwindling in the arts – there could not be three more passionate artists to champion our work, or three people whose commitments and own life stories better suit the work that we are now doing at Greenwich Theatre."

Inter quash rumours of Balotelli moving to Arsenal
Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti has rejected reports linking striker Mario Balotelli with a move to Arsenal in January.
The 19-year-old has caught Arsene Wenger's eye after scoring four goals in 11 league appearances this season, but has struggled to secure a regular place in the starting line-up under coach Jose Mourinho.
Moratti insists the striker is not for sale and Balotelli has a future at the San Siro.
"Certainly Balotelli is not on the market and will not be on the market," Moratti told Gazetta dello Sport. "There is something to adjust between him, the team and the coach, his behaviour in particular, but this is due to his age.
"It's nothing serious, but it takes a certain continuity in getting used to living together with your team-mates, the trainer and certain rules. I don't believe it's anything dramatic.
"We base this assumption on the ability of the player to understand things and Mourinho's ability to make him grow up in such a way as to be useful to the club."
On Tuesday, Arsene Wenger revealed he is likely to sign a new striker in the January transfer window after the news that Robin van Persie will miss most of the season with an ankle ligament injury.

The kids all got him gifts. We planned on going for a picnic but the weather isn't cooperating. We have all asked him what he would like to do today to no avail. Just pouting or that's how I am seeing it. It's likely more shame than anything.
Do I leave him to his misery? Keep trying to get him to do something?
I was diagnosed with a STD this week. I'm not feeling very charitable. He took that hard. However, I have had a super stressful and emotional couple of days and he has not stepped up.
Make your picnic foods and set them up on a blanket in the living room for the kids. Try to relax a little and enjoy the indoor picnic with your kids. He can either join you all, or sit pouting in the corner.
WH says marriage is over: May 15, 2009.
EA#2 July 20, 2009. Legally sep: Aug 16, 2009. DIVORCED!!!! Signed Nov 23, final Dec 24, 2010, adultery listed.
I'd tell him, away from your kids, what you are feeling and remind him that this day is just as much about allowing your children to show their appreciation to him as it is for him receiving that appreciation. Your kids are apt to feel that they did something wrong if he is going to boohoo the whole day.
If he can't pull it together, you do something fun with the kids. He made his bed....
He is sad because he says he has hurt his children. Trouble is, when he is sad, he is irritable. He ruined my birthday by texting the ow the entire time. Mother's Day was a pain filled emotional day. I just wanted him to show some greatfulness especially considering this week.
Forgiveness means understanding, acceptance and giving up on looking back.

Audi youngster causes surprise
Ingolstadt/Munich – Audi driver Adrien Tambay was the big surprise on the first day of the DTM event in Munich. Together with experienced DTM campaigner Timo Scheider, who came back with an impressive showing after a difficult first half of the season, the 21-year-old DTM rookie reached the final of the manufacturers' team relay at the Olympic Stadium and was thus on the podium for the first time in the DTM.
After twelve thrilling final laps during which four times three laps were alternately driven, the two drivers of Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline had to admit defeat to the two Mercedes drivers Jamie Green and Ralf Schumacher by merely 0.254 seconds. By setting the fastest race lap in the final stint, Tambay at the wheel of his Audi ultra A5 DTM in the end even caused a true photo finish.

2PM Wooyoung and 2AM Jo Kwon Solo Battle
By Staff Writer | July 04, 2012 11:23 AM EDT
Fate leads best friends 2AM Jo Kwon and 2PM Wooyoung to a solo battle. Jokwon released his solo debut song, "Animal" on June 25, while Wooyoung plans the release of his first album, 23, Male, Single on July 8.
The two guys not only share the same birth year (1989), but also trained with JYP Entertainment, sharing joys and sorrows until their debut in 2008: Wooyoung with 2PM, Jo Kwon with 2AM. Jo Kwon appeared in 2001 on SBS "Talented Voice Project 99% Challenge" and was selected as an elementary student for an eight-year period of training. Wooyung was the first pick of a JYP audition in 2007.
Wooyoung and Jo Kwon normally share a close friendship. Jo Kwon regularly tweets photos of him and Wooyoung stating, "Proof we're best friends."
Recently Wooyoung revealed in an interview, "Coincidentally Jo Kwon and I are debuting around the same time," and "I was shocked that even our short bang, blonde hair-styles are the same."
Wooyoung added, "Jo Kwon and I are too close so we'll never be rivals, but since we're both going out solo, the competition will be there. We agreed that we just have to empty our hearts and cheer for each other until the end."

Anticipation high for tonight's Florida-Tennessee game
Hotels in Knoxville are filled to capacity and excitement is running high for tonight's game between Florida and Tennessee in Knoxville.
This is the first night game between the two teams in eight years, and the first time both have been ranked since 2007.
Demand for tickets is high. On Friday, officials from StubHub told the Knoxville News Sentinel some lower-level tickets had sold for $899, and tickets were ranging from $182 to $600.
The demand remains high as fans can be seen around town Saturday morning with "I need tickets" signs.
Florida coach Will Muschamp said on ESPN's GameDay this morning that RB Mike Gillislee (groin) is ready to play and he expects him to get "about 20 snaps" in tonight's game.
The Gators will be trying to extend its winning streak to eight consecutive over the Vols, and give Muschamp his first victory over a ranked opponent as head coach of the Gators.

I've been trying to translate the front end text for the Event calendar, what I've done is:
*** For _config.php I've changed like so:
< Calendar::set_param('language','EN');
< Calendar::set_param('timezone', 'US-Eastern');
> Calendar::set_param('language','NO');
> Calendar::set_param('timezone', 'Europe/Oslo');
< CalendarDateTime::set_param('offset','-04:00');
> // CalendarDateTime::set_param('offset','02:00');
< i18n::include_locale_file('event_calendar', 'en_US');
> i18n::include_locale_file('event_calendar', 'nb_NO');
*** I've created lang/nb_NO.php - a replica of the existing de_DE.php translation, except I've changed all the array keys to nb_NO and translated all the content. Also changed the last line to:
$lang['nb_NO']['CalendarWidget']['LOCALEFILE'] = 'date_nbNO.js';
*** I've created javascript/locale/date_nbNO.js, again replica of the existing date_de.js except the content has been translated.
After doing this - nothing happens. All is still english. I've double checked:
- My users profile is norwegian (although it seems the locale is hard-coded in event_calendar/_config.php anyways?)
- The page I created is registered as a norwegian translation (again as above, maybe it does not matter?)
- Run dev/build?flush=1 a couple of times.
So clearly I'm missing something which probably is part of the SilverStripe basics - but please help me because I cannot seem to Google my way to that info.
Thanks for your time,

Pell Grant Increases Mean Little if Washington Acts Alone
In 2009 and 2010, the Obama administration secured more than $15-billion in additional annual funding for the Pell Grant program—money that goes to help the nation's poorest students afford college. Repeatedly hailed by administration officials as "the largest investment in student aid since the GI Bill," these funds almost doubled total yearly spending in the program and increased the maximum grant by more than 15 percent between 2008 and 2010, going from $4,731 to $5,550. And the number of recipients during that period grew from six million to over nine million. The Pell increases are arguably the administration's biggest higher-education accomplishment to date, and while other stimulus benefits have receded, the administration has successfully fought time and again to protect Pell.
Unfortunately, colleges and the states have not shown similar levels of concern about protecting the value of such a significant federal investment. Instead, as recently released data from the U.S. Department of Education demonstrate, this near-doubling of the Pell Grant appears to have kept constant the rate at which these low-income students turn to debt, while those who do borrow are facing even greater loan burdens than ever before. Given the increase in the number of students receiving Pell Grants and the size of their average debt burden, the federal government would have to spend approximately $7-billion more a year just to keep the average amount borrowed each year the same. And that doesn't include closing the expected shortfall that begins in 2016 that will require billions of dollars in additional funds over time.
The story of Pell and its inability to meaningfully restrain borrowing exemplify the challenges of unilateral federal financial-aid investments. Without conditions on states and institutions that introduce real requirements about providing an affordable education, federal dollars will keep getting gobbled up by insatiable college budgets and state officials looking for ways to supplant their own education spending. Taxpayers will be footing part of the bill, but so too will the poorest college students who will keep turning to debt to finance their educations.
A rational financial-aid system would distribute benefits so that grant aid would flow to the lowest-income students, while loan aid would go to those with middle incomes that just need some additional assistance. But the lowest-income students getting Pell Grants and those taking on loan debt are increasingly one and the same. Of 2011-12 graduates who used federal loans for their education, 71 percent also received Pell aid at some point. By contrast, just 32 percent of 2011-12 graduates who never took out federal loans also received Pell aid.
The latest debt figures for Pell Grant recipients should not be interpreted as a sign that the program provides no value. Pell is indisputably important for helping the lowest-income students get access to and afford a postsecondary education. Without Pell, millions of students would not be able to pursue their educational dreams. But how much more effective could it be if states and colleges treated the program with the same degree of importance that federal policy makers do?
The increased funding for Pell Grants provided colleges across the country with billions of dollars in additional revenue and resources. And it had arguably the least restrictive requirements of any stimulus dollars. Colleges did not have to ensure that Pell dollars supplemented and did not supplant funds already provided by states and schools. States were not told to avoid cutting their postsecondary budgets, as they were in other programs. This lack of strings left states and colleges free to slash support, increase tuition, and use Pell to make up the difference.
The federal government did not even ask for more transparency about whether colleges successfully graduated students getting this aid—a common last gasp attempt at oversight. Rather, colleges took the dollars and continued the same trend of increasing prices they've been following for decades.
One cannot expect the federal government to keep taking such a laissez-faire approach to federal student-aid investments. If there is any hope of meaningfully reducing or even constraining loan debt, the federal government's relationship to institutions of higher learning and the states cannot keep being so one-sided. This does not mean suddenly ushering in a new era of No Child Left Behind at colleges. But if the federal government cannot demand even basic requirements like protecting the purchasing power of its investment or data and transparency about basic outcomes like completion, then enthusiasm for future financial-aid increases is likely to wane. This country operates on a system of federalism. Student aid should too.

From the 1989 tornado to searching for Asha Degree, Dewey Cook has responded to hundreds of emergency calls around the county.
Now after almost 40 years in the fire service, Cook is retiring from his position as Cleveland County emergency management director and fire marshal at the end of July. Emergency management assistant director and deputy fire marshal Perry Davis will take his place.
Cook�s career in the fire service started with his CB radio.
�I was a CB nut in the 1970s. I was coming up the road when I saw a house on fire,� Cook said. �I radioed the fire department to let them know.�
After that, the fire chief wanted to recruit Cook to become a firefighter, but he said he wasn�t interested and didn�t have the time.
�One Friday night I was watching �Dukes of Hazzard� when I got a phone call,� He said. �It was the fire chief saying he was appointing me as the newest member of the Casar Fire Department.�
During Cook�s time at Casar Fire Department and later as deputy fire marshal and fire marshal, he has helped with hundreds of fires, storms, floods, tornadoes and search and rescues.
On May 25, 1979, Cook stayed up all night at Casar Fire Department. All of the other county fire stations were helping with the explosion on West Warren Street in uptown Shelby, and Casar was on call to cover the north end of the county if any other fires occurred.
He helped with the 1994 Palm Sunday tornado and the May 5, 1989, tornado that went 14 miles across Cleveland, Lincoln and Catawba counties.
�The 1989 tornado changed the landscape. It was really devastating,� he said. �Everyone was in a shelter, and one of the family�s houses was destroyed. Someone asked the family�s little girls if she needed anything. She said, �I want to go home, but I don�t have a home to go to.��
He helped search for Asha Degree on Feb. 14, 2000, when she went missing.
�A lot of people helped with that search. We made a lot of footsteps looking for her,� he said. �Not a day goes by that I don�t think about Asha. I always said I would keep her picture on my desk until we found her.�
Cook said his favorite part of the job is meeting people and getting to talk to them.
�We got involved with search and rescue for Alzheimer�s patients with Project Life Saver,� Cook said. �You meet these people and fall in love with them.�
Patients wear tracking bracelets and Cook helped find one 87-year-old woman several times who said she just wanted to take a walk.
�Whenever I found her, I told her to call me and I will go on a walk with her,� he said.
But many of the calls he helped with were devastating.
�Some of the worst calls we have are when there is a fire fatality,� he said. �I remember one fire on Christmas Eve. The parents put the presents under the tree and their four children to bed upstairs. Three of the children died in a fire that broke out. It was very sad.�
Emergency responders deal with fires, drowning victims and storm victims, and Cook said they have to let their emotions out.
�People see us out in the field and think we are iron men dealing with all of this,� Cook said. �But they don�t see when we shut the door and let it all out. You can�t keep it bottled up, you have to let it out.�
In his retirement, Cook will miss the people he�s met, but not 3 a.m. calls or going out in snow storms, he said.
He and his wife plan visit their four grandchildren and travel out west, seeing sights they have never seen before such as Yellow Stone National Park and the Hoover Dam.
However, though Cook is retiring, he will continue to be the chief of the Casar Fire Department and serve on the Cleveland County Water Board.
�In a fire department, we are like brothers,� he said. �We all take care of each other.�

Indiana went to a place it hasn't won since 1967 and had an offensive performance that gave itself a chance.
The IU, defense, on the other hand, was abysmal.
Jeremy Gallon set a Big Ten record for receiving yards in a game, Devin Gardner set a school record for total offense, and Michigan beat Indiana 63-47.
Gallon had a Big Ten record 369 receiving yards on 14 catches. He averaged 26.4 yards per catch. He had the second most receiving yards in a Football Bowl Subdivision game.
Gardner had a Michigan record 584 yards of total offense, 503 of those coming in the air on 21-for-29 passing.
The Big Ten record for receiving yards in a game was 301, set by Purdue's Chris Daniels in 1999 on 21 receptions.
Michigan finished with 751 total yards to Indiana's 572.
The 110 combined points are the third most combined points in a Big Ten game. The only higher scoring games in conference play are 132 combined points (Michigan's 67-65 victory over Illinois in 2010) and 115 (Minnesota's 59-56 win over Purdue in 1993).
Indiana's offense certainly did its part.
Tre Roberson replaced Nate Sudfeld and passed for 288 yards and three touchdowns. Roberson also ran for 50 yards and a score.
Kofi Hughes had a big day with 138 yards receiving and a touchdown.
Indiana's offense kept punching most of the day.
Indiana got within 42-40 on Hughes' you-can't-be-serious 67-yard touchdown catch. Hughes was behind the defender, jumped over him, pulled the ball away and raced the rest of the way for the touchdown.
The Hoosiers went for two but Cody Latimer couldn't connect with Ted Bolser on a pass.
Indiana got down 21-7 but pulled within 28-17 at halftime.
The Hoosiers scored after recovering a fumble early in the second half to get within 28-24.
IU had scoring drives of 71, 61, 83 and 75 yards after that. However two interceptions followed, one by Sudfeld when he replaced Roberson - who had left due to a hand injury - and one when Roberson appeared to expect Nick Stoner to run an out route.

While much of the country is focused on hitting the slopes on skis or snowboards, surf's up for the following five professional surfers who recently caught the wave of sunglasses sponsorship. While they won't have much impact on the deep freeze many of us are enduring this winter, the High Visibility of these surfers from Australia, Hawaii and California will surely heat up awareness of the sunglasses companies they are now sponsoring. And at least one company based on the East Coast makes sure that the "right coast" is represented as well. After signing Jamie O'Brien last month, Nectar Sunglasses released his signature "Mahalo" series of sunglasses. One of the youngest surfers to ever win a Pipe Masters challenge, O'Brien produced two surfing films, Freakshow and Freakside. A statement from Nectar Sunglasses announcing its partnership with O'Brien acknowledged that "Jamie continues to push the limits of surfing and always showcases his talents on the North Shore of Hawaii and worldwide." "Jamie represents the sweet life 110 percent, and that is what we're all about," said Nectar co-founder, Sean Holmes. "We are stoked to have him on the team and are excited to build this partnership." Set to launch in the U.S. market next month, Australian-based eyewear brand, Otis Eyewear signed surfer Mitch Crews as its international brand ambassador. In 2013, "Crewsy" achieved his dream of qualifying for the elite Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) World Tour and will kick off his debut campaign in 2014 at Snapper Rocks on the Gold Coast this March, while competing in the Quiksilver Pro. "Working with Mitch is going to be really fun. He has such a vibrant persona, is a super talented surfer and is driven to succeed in his chosen craft," said Shaun Wright, Otis global brand and marketing manager. "He will add plenty of good vibes to assist in the creation of future eyewear collections." "I'm really excited for this. I want to build my profile in all the key magazines and mold my image the way I want to be portrayed for the next few years on tour," Crews said. "This is an epic opportunity for me to do this with Otis. I'm psyched on the plans they have for the future and getting involved with the USA launch." Smith Optics signed surfers Tim Reyes of Huntington Beach, Calif., and Jake Marshall of Encinitas, Calif. After joining ASP World Tours in 2005 and following major knee injury in 2007, Reyes returned to the surf scene with third place at Pipe Masters the following year. When the big wave surfer is not competing around the world, he dedicates his time to finding tubes in the most remote and coldest parts of North America. "Now that I get to wear proper eyewear wherever I go, I will have one less worry," said Reyes (wearing Smith's Lowdown). "I just got my first box of shades and I want to wear all of them. I know I will be in good hands with Smith Optics and can't wait for all that the future holds." Only fourteen years old, Marshall grew up watching some of the world's best surfers, which he channeled into five National Championships, a number one spot in the Surfer Hot 100 and first place in the 2013 Quiksilver King Of The Groms in France. "I'm stoked to be a part of the Smith team not only because they have an amazing product; they also have a really great support team to help me reach my goals," said Marshall (also wearing Lowdown). "Timmy and Jake embody everything that makes a top tier Smith Optics athlete. From top to bottom, our surf team is made up of very well-respected surfers, and these two only add more to the brand's incredible roster," said Aaron Checkwood, surf promotions manager for Smith. "Both Jake's competition results and Tim's never-ending quest for big waves fit the brand perfectly. We're very excited to see what 2014 holds for them and the rest of the Smith Optics squad." Reflekt Polarized has taken on the entire Eastern Surfing Association (ESA) to become its "Official Sunglass Sponsor" for the 2014 season. "As an East Coast based company, Reflekt Polarized is very excited to partner with the ESA, the premier amateur surfing organization on the right coast" said Britt Wetzel, vice president of Reflekt. "It is a perfect partnership as both the ESA and Reflekt Polarized are extremely passionate in supporting the positive, healthy environment that surfing provides to our youth." Reflekt has also signed former World Championship Tour surfer and 1996 World Amateur Junior Champion Ben Bourgeois to its Surf Team for 2014/2015. Bourgeois is an East Coast legend who started his competitive career in the ESA's Southern North Carolina District. "We just could not be more stoked to have Benny B on board with Reflekt Polarized," said Reflekt marketing manager Scott Troxel. "Ben epitomizes everything that is great about the East Coast surfing community. From the start, Ben was the guy that we wanted to be the face of the Reflekt Brand."

This article documents the large changes in the size distribution and size dynamics of banks from 1960 to 2005. The authors find that neither the lognormal distribution nor the Pareto distribution fit the entire distribution, though they each do better with subsets of the distribution. Gibrat's Law is tested and found to hold in the 1960s and 1970s, but not afterwards. Gross entry rates are found to be surprisingly robust over the entire period: there is no trend in the fraction of banks that comprise new entries. Finally, assuming that trends in size dynamics from 2000–2005 continue, a forecast of the number of banks predicts that the rapid decline in number of banks will slow down and the number of banks will level off.

between the quarters ended June and September' Statistics SA said on Tuesday.
This means many South Africans now have access to electricity something that the ruling ANC has been boasting about in the past few years.
Whenever it is facing a barrage of criticism, the ANC often calls upon its critics to look at all its good contributions like the provision of electricity to as many South Africans as possible.
According to Statistics SA's quarterly financial statistics of municipalities survey, in monetary terms this translated from 17.2 billion rand ($2 billion) in the quarter ended June to 21.5 billion rand ($2.5 billion)in the quarter ended September.
The survey, which covers local' district' and metropolitan municipalities, also found that purchases of electricity and gas by municipalities rose by 33.9 percent over the period to 16.7 billion rand ($2 billion) in the quarter ended September from 12.4 billion rand ($1.4 billion) the quarter before.
The results of the survey are used to estimate gross domestic product and its components as well as to assist the public sector with policy formulation and the financial analysis of municipalities.
The survey involved all 278 municipalities.
Meanwhile, purchases of water decreased by 5.8 percent between the two quarters' while an increase of 8.9 percent was recorded for the sales of water over the same period.
The survey also showed that the property' plant and equipment of municipalities increased by 0.4 percent between the two quarters.

The following editorial appeared recently in the New York Times:
The Republican presidential candidates have not made immigration a focus of their campaigns. But, as they head toward a debate on Wednesday in Arizona, ground zero for anti-immigrant hostility, it is a good time to ask hard questions about immigration. The odds are bad that they will have sensible answers.
These candidates have abandoned decades of Republican moderation on immigration, disowning views once held by Ronald Reagan, both Presidents Bush and Congressional Republicans — like Mel Martinez, Sam Brownback, Lindsey Graham and John McCain — who once led a coalition for reform but have since either left the Senate or their principles behind.
Mitt Romney has moved farthest to the fringe. His scheme for fixing immigration is mass expulsion: a fantasy of ridding the country of 11 million unauthorized immigrants by making their lives unbearable. The key to his harsh vision is "self-deportation," the deceptively bland-sounding policy that he introduced at a debate. It accepts that arresting and expelling so many millions would be impossible — like deporting the State of Ohio. But it replaces that delusion with another: That people can be made miserable enough to leave on their own.
Newt Gingrich is slightly less extreme. He rightly scoffs that "self-deportation" is a pandering fantasy, and he supports legalizing a few grandmothers and students who join the military, though, like Romney, he would deny them any chance to become Americans. He, too, staunchly defends rogue states against federal civil-rights enforcement.
Rick Santorum and Ron Paul have been less explicit in their immigration prescriptions, though Paul has voiced a libertarian's doubts about a border fence and acknowledged that Hispanics are being made "scapegoats." He and Santorum, like the others, support an immediate border lockdown and want the government to enforce English as an official language.
Poll after poll has shown that the American public supports moderate reform. Many conservatives do, too. In Utah, the Mormon Church has joined a broad coalition of business, civic and religious organizations in endorsing humane immigration measures, free of shrill hostility. In Kansas, Kobach's home state, businesses are trying to draft a plan to be more welcoming to immigrant workers. But the Republican presidential hopefuls are pandering to the far-right.
President Obama has hardly been inspiring on this issue. He has pushed deportations to record levels while failing to reform immigration more humanely. But he, at least, understands that the right immigration solution is one that doesn't reward illegality but channels immigrant energy and aspirations to fruitful ends. It is the hard-won compromise that combines tougher border and workplace controls with a legalization path and a well-designed future flow of workers to meet our economy's needs.
That's a plan that Mitt Romney, a few Mitt Romneys ago, once admired. It's the one he deplores now.

Middlesbrough defender Stuart Parnaby is set to return to action in three weeks.Middlesbrough defender Stuart Parnaby is set to return to action in three weeks.
The 22-year-old broke his leg in October before Boro's Uefa Cup clash with Egaleo.
The former England-Under 21 ace is now gearing up for his comeback to action.
"I had an X-ray on Monday and it showed that the break has fixed so now it's just a case of the muscle around the bone getting stronger,Ç¥ he said.
"Hopefully I'll be back in contention in about three weeks.
"I've been doing a lot of weights in the gym and work on the bike trying to strengthen the leg again.
"I tried jogging once or twice but it was still a little painful, but hopefully I can begin running again at the start of next week."

Bardwil Linens Debuts Tommy Bahama Tabletop
September 15, 2009,
Applying the attitude that relaxed living is not just for the beach resort scene, Bardwil Linens has developed its new licensed program with upscale island lifestyle brand Tommy Bahama into a collection of designs and styles that are appropriate for everyday use.
To achieve this, Bardwil came up with "looks that are universal," Kristoff continued. "They definitely speak to the brand, but the designs are not summer specific."
There is one grouping within the new line that is more seasonally minded – the spring-summer themed Island Song design, which is made for use outdoors and comprises assorted table linen pieces as well as chair pads and picnic totes.
"But the balance of the collection is more geared toward indoor dining," she said.
Examples include coir placemats adorned with the Tommy Bahama logo embroidered subtly, some hardboard and coaster sets in signature Tommy Bahama style, a micro-fiber dobby textured group, and a variety of textured, woven jacquard and printed placemats, tablecloths, runners and napkins.
Additionally, Bardwil has created 10 free-standing placemats in an equally broad sampling of constructions such as bamboo, ramie cotton, cotton linen and solid colored poly-cotton blends, as well as cork-backed styles that match with coasters.
"To be true to the brand, we didn't make anything on a flat ground," she added.
The official launch is this week during market, and products will be ready for shipping in mid December for a 2010 rollout at retail.
Targeted distribution includes department and specialty shops. Kristoff noted the company has already made commitments for the program with several key retailers.
Suggested retail price points are set at $29.99 for a 60"-by-84" tablecloth, $5.99 for a placemat, $4.99 for a napkin and $19.99 for a runner – all of which are reversible.
Tommy Bahama marks Bardwil's third license in a roster of three that service the upper retail channel. The other two are Lenox – which this year marks its 10th anniversary licensing its name to Bardwil for table linens – and Vera, which is based on the vintage artwork and patterns of the late designer Vera Neumann. Bardwil has been a licensee to The Vera Co. since late 2008, and launched its first collection for the brand in spring 2009.
"We felt Tommy Bahama would be a really good fit in addition to the Lenox and Vera lines that we currently have underway," Kristoff explained. "Brands are so meaningful and important to the department and specialty stores that we just felt it was important to have a third brand at this point that was really different in feel from the other two but that can co-exist on the selling floor with Vera and Lenox. Tommy Bahama does that. None of them bump against each other, and each one appeals to a different shopper."
Also new from Bardwil this market are four new collections for the Vera program. These encompass table linens that coordinate with some kitchen textiles components, like aprons, kitchen towels and pot mitts. Napkin rings join the line for the first time. New patterns – all of them drawn form Vera Neumann's archive – are bright and include florals and indoor/outdoor styles.
The Vera program also is seeing "a significant expansion," Kristoff said, of the brand's kitchen textiles offerings. Specifically, there are 14 new designs, all interpreted from the archives, and some of which marry back to the new and existing table linens mix.

Discussion in 'The Dog Breeds' started by Laurelin, Dec 8, 2009.
Toy Sheltie Club of America
I agree ! Sad .
ummm...okay. apparently you get a championship through the judges viewing photos of your dog?
Photoshop anyone? :doh:
oh goodness. and they do NOT run cheap
"Our puppy prices vary between $1500 and $3000, depending upon quality, size, and registerability."
I just dont see the need..
I just keep thinking some of those dogs are shorter than Mia!
ETA: I didn't read the championship page Romy... more
How do they judge temperament in a photo??
they might as well just do dog shows over skype lol
That's a really great question. :lol-sign:
The most annoying thing though for me is how they state that is the 'original' sheltie. Yeah... the original working breed used to herd and guard sheep was the same size or smaller than my papillons.... Right. There were some dogs I saw that were 8 inches tall! That's insane! Summer is 11 inches tall.
*headdesk repeatedly*
I can't even begin to put into words what I would like to say because it is not child friendly. Insert a lot of **** and you'll have pretty close to what I want to say.
Well I feel sad for those that fall for this....
Wow O-o
It says on the standard "Disqualifications
None " :yikes:
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ :spam:
If their tails aren't tucked, they have excellent temperaments.
Duh...if you can't see any blood on its lips, it's friendly. 10.
If you can see small amounts of blood, it's average. 5.
If you can still make out an identifiable piece of human body in it's mouth, it's not nice. 0.
Think I can get a judging license from them?

This is a very old entry — images are small, formatting is off.
In Brief: February Miscellany
Reviewed Feb. 4, 2011 by Armin
Industry /
Today you are getting another miscellany because of a major snowstorm in Austin, TX — three quarters of an inch! — that will put both of my daughters at home all day so every minute counts and must be optimized, meaning I can't spend the necessary time on a proper review this morning. Still, some juicy things to keep you entertained this Friday.
1. Most Desired Brands in the U.S.
Buyology, "the world's leading strategic neuromarketing company," has released its first annual Most Desired U.S. Brands Report after six years of spending $8 million testing 240 global brands with more than 5,000 consumers. The results are pretty baffling, unless you are like me (not) and the thing you desire most every single day is Crest. That's right, Crest is the number one, most desired brand for men. Crest! If there was a brand for watching paint dry that would be more desirable than Crest. Forbes has a breakdown of the top ten brands for men and women.
2. Cam the Ram
Since graduating from Colorado State University in 2001 designer Kyle Stopperan has wanted to give back through his talents and in 2003 he figured out a way how to: proposing a redesign of the athletic department's mascot, Cam the Ram. It took Kyle seven years to get his mission realized. It's all summed up in one ramerrific graphic.
3. iheartlogos Season One Book
To cap off the first "season" iheartlogos has released their first self-published book with the top winners. Even though you can see the very top vote getters here and all the submitted logos when you join, there is always something nice about a printed compendium. A little crit/suggestion for season two's book: Try to provide a little more "voice" to the work through your own editorial point of view as well as more winner commentary, otherwise it just all feels a little detached.

Punk music would not be what it is today without the contributions of Weston. As one of the first bands to successfully integrate punk rock with melodic elements and sincere lyrics, Weston paved the way for the brand of melodic punk rock that is huge today. "Got Beat Up" and their debut full length "Real Life Stories of Teenage Rebellion" remain two of the finest pop-punk records of all time.
Named after guitarist Dave Weston's parents (for allowing the band to rehearse in their basement), the self-deprecating punk band Weston formed in 1990. Like few bands before them, Weston tapped into the emotions of teen-angst, surviving high school and first crushes and turned those into some of the catchiest songs ever written.
After the release of "Got Beat Up", the bassist/singer Chuck Saltern left the band and future releases were more Pixies-esque and less Descendents-like then the early releases.
At one point, it looked like Weston was going to be huge; there wrote better songs than Blink-182 and were a hundred times more fun. But conflicts within the band drove Weston to an early grave. If Greg ever writes the Go-kart book he has promised us, the chapters on Weston will be one of the most interesting.

Slightly fancier fx routing
I wonder if it would be possible to expose the input and output ports of ladspa plugins from within their UI boxes, possibly as a configurable option from the options window?
The way I envisage this is by labeled dropdowns on the plugin UI windows, so that a dropdown list would default to the current input, and offer options such as "Audio 1-1:L" or "Guitar:Freeverb(#2):L", etc.
This would (in principle) make possible things like gated reverb on a bus (the reverb audio through a gate with threshhold determined by the dry audio signal) which don't seem to be achievable in the current model.
I've seen a proposal on the dev list for fully modular plugins, with a node/edge style interface, but I think a drop-down approach would be considerably less of a headache to program and possibly to use.
A couple of other cosmetic trifles: A variwidth mixer channel in editor/mixer mode would be nice, and also, when entering numeric values into the plugin UI, it seems an extra click is necessary, when the data entry box should really get focus immediately numeric entry mode is selected by doubleclicking the control.
Thanks for reading, and congrats on the new site!! Looking good!

My two grandchildren were adopted four and a half years ago. The boy was six and his sister two. The adoption was very successful and my daughter and son-in-law are often invited by an adoption society to share their experiences with prospective adopters.
It is perhaps worth noting that the children have had four homes and were only placed together some months prior to adoption. We look after the children during school holidays as my daughter went back to work two years ago. My granddaughter seems to have a problem with self-esteem and confidence. She is pretty, imaginative and has a talent for drawing. But she sets herself impossibly high standards, and if whatever she is attempting goes wrong she will cry and scream, saying things like, "I'm rubbish at everything" or "I'll never be able to do this". Despite having had a career in childcare, I find these outbursts worrying. Is this going to resolve itself in time or is there an underlying problem that should be looked into? Paula, Lancashire
The first thing to mention is that you and her parents are obviously doing a lot of things right, and the calm way you deal with your granddaughter's outbursts, which you detail in the longer version of your letter, sounds ideal.
We have no way of knowing if your granddaughter would have been a "perfectionist" anyway. However, it's not uncommon, sadly, for adopted children to feel they have done something wrong and to think that this is why they were put up for adoption. They can think they have to do something perfectly and if they don't, they are no good. You don't mention how much you know of the children's past and what happened; although they were adopted a while ago, you can always go back to the social worker to try to fill in any historical gaps to help you make sense of her behaviour. All these moves and separations are bound to have made your granddaughter feel anxious and insecure.
I had a very lengthy conversation with Pam Oultram, adoption support social worker at After Adoption (afteradoption.org.uk, helpline 0800 0568 578), who is herself an adoptive mother. It is with her advice in mind that I am replying to you.
Although your granddaughter is now nearly seven, she is displaying the behaviour of a much younger child. It might be useful to you to think of her emotional, rather than chronological, age. Depending on what went on in her past, she may have missed out on various "stages" in her life. I'm sure you know that the first two years of a child's life are crucial to emotional development and self-esteem; children who have had consistent, loving care can deal much better with disappointment than those who haven't.
As with a younger child, she may be unable to communicate how she feels, which is why she has these tantrum/anger outbursts. Try to talk to her about emotions, what their names are, how they make her feel. Some children like to put colours/images on an emotion, so anger may be red and spiky. If she can try to tell you how she feels so that this can be worked on, she may find she has to "act out" less and less. Try to identify triggers: is she worse when she's tired/hungry/in a strange environment? Do you tell her what is happening next?
You may also want to aim the play at that of a younger child, so maybe less of the drawing and more play that is not about an end-product. You say she loves cuddly toys – maybe she just wants to play with them. Remember to give her a good chunk of time to just play by herself, with you watching, not commenting (harder to do than one thinks).
It might also help to think if you or her parents are unintentionally reinforcing her feelings. Even saying something such as "she's such a perfectionist" might make her feel that is her role. Pam advised praising effort rather than the finished product.
The list of confidence-boosting things you tell me she does is impressive, but maybe stay away from things that are too competitive for now.

Friendship or Honesty?
I placed my heavy textbook down on the table as the bell rang for first period. My biology teacher was finishing up some work at his computer. "Hello Hop," he said as I walked in. I sat down and unzipped my pink backpack, pulling out my homework while the other students came through the open door. I had worked hard to get my worksheet on plants done late the night before.
I greeted my friend sitting in the chair next to me. I had fun chatting with her every morning at the beginning of biology class.
"Emily, I need your help," she said.
"What can I do for you?" I responded cheerfully.
"I couldn't get my homework done, and I was wondering if I could use your answers. I've missed so much being sick, and I really need to get this assignment in or my grade will drop."
My mind started to whirl. "But isn't that cheating?" I questioned in amazement.
"Well, I already did this assignment, I just don't have it with me now. Can I hurry and copy your paper before class starts?"
She was my friend and I really wanted to help her. It was a fill-in-the-blank worksheet, so the teacher wouldn't know they were my answers. He was busy, so he wouldn't see her copying my notes. I sat there undecided, a battle raging in my mind. Should I help her cheat, or should I refuse to help my friend? It was true that she had been sick and missed a lot of class, and I really wanted to be a good friend.
As I hesitated, my mind made a long list of reasons why it would be OK to help her. On the other hand, I knew it wouldn't be right. Then I made a choice. I wanted to be a reliable friend, but even more, I wanted to be honest.
Apprehensively, I turned toward her. "I wish I could help you, but I don't feel right about letting you use my answers," I said. "I am really sorry."
It was hard for me to disappoint my friend, but I had a good feeling inside, one that comes from knowing I had kept my integrity and been honest even with a good friendship on the line. As my teacher started the day's lesson, many students in that first period biology class thought it was just a normal day. But for me, it was a day to remember. That day marked an important decision in my life. That choice defined what was honest and what wasn't honest. The next time I faced someone asking me to share my answers, I had already made my decision. I had made the resolve to be honest under all circumstances.
Not a Drop
Where I live, we have no cinemas, no bowling alleys. The only thing a lot of teenagers think there is to do around here, it seems, is party and drink alcohol. Peer pressure can also be overwhelming. What makes it worse is that there are only a few active members of the Church at my school.
One afternoon at work I talked with a male friend of mine. The conversation eventually turned to drinking. "I don't drink, ever. Not a drop," I said. He gave me a strange look, and then, in a low voice, said, "I wish I could do that. I could never stick with decisions like that." He started picking on me for my standards, but I knew that deep down he fully respected me.
A few months later, the same friend had a birthday party, and I went, not knowing what would be going on there. My friend walked around with a $50 note in his hands, which I jokingly snatched from his hand, thanking him. He sat down next to me. "Okay," he said. "You can keep the money, but only if you sip some alcohol." I politely refused and gave him the money. He was shocked that somebody would pass up a $50 note. Then, he told me how strong and brave I was. The person sitting on the other side of him said good things about me. It was cool—one of the best feelings I have ever had.
I learned that people respect our standards and expect us to stay true to them. If we're not true to our standards, we don't earn respect from them or ourselves. People notice everything we do.
Gratitude at Twilight
"Let's go," the voice of our group counselor rang out. My week at a college program in Idaho had barely begun, and it was already the end of the first day. We walked a short distance from our campsite with the bright blue of the sun's disappearance just fading below the horizon. Our counselor stopped us all on the dirt road in the center of a field and told us we could go off alone to try to get in touch with the Spirit. I had already chosen my spot—behind us and down a hill, in a stand of trees.
As I slipped away from the rest of my group, I sat down in the grass and began to think. I began to hear the noises of small insects in the grass around me. I then picked up a small pink flower, noticing the details and intricacies that made it. As the sky grew darker, I looked up, noticing the perfectly clear field of millions of stars hovering above me. As I sat thinking, the scriptures about God's creations popped into my mind. God had created worlds more numerous than the sands of the sea, and yet I looked down at the flower in my hand, at how intricately formed it was. The rest of the week I felt grateful for God's creations and His care for even the smallest of them.

Where: Jonesboro, AR (Liberty Bank Stadium)
Time: 6:00 PM Central
CLICK HERE for a list of visitors Arkansas State is expected to host for the game!
Lead Up
Both schools come into this weekend's game at 1-2 with each program looking to get their second win. The Red Wolves are coming off a tough loss to Nebraska 42-13 while Alcorn State is coming off a tough 24-6 loss to Arkansas-Pine Bluff.
This is the 4th game in a row where Arkansas State will be on TV, and this will be the first ever meeting between the two schools.
Offensive Notes
Senior quarterback Ryan Aplin has set career records this year in total offensive yards and overall passing yards. He has thrown for 763 yards with 4 touchdowns, and only one interception in his first three games.
Aplin's two main targets at this time are senior wide receiver's Josh Jarboe (20 rec. 174yds 2 TD's), and redshirt freshman J.D. McKissic (20 rec. 200 yds. 0 TD's).
Jarboe is a former high school All-American who has become a sure handed and tough wide-out for Aplin, and the Red Wolf offense. McKissic has done a good job of stepping up with senior wide receiver Taylor Stockemer injured and former receiver Allen Muse leaving the team. McKissic has shown good hands and the ability to find holes within the defense.
Junior running back David Oku has given the Red Wolf offense a reliable runner with game breaking abilities. He has carried the ball 48 times for 237 yards and one touchdown thus far, and could be in line to put up big numbers against the Braves.
His ability to carry the ball for the duration of the game as well as be a dynamic pass catcher out of the backfield makes him a dangerous player for the Red Wolves.
Sophomore running back Frankie Jackson (29 carries 144 yds. 2 TD's) has been a solid compliment to Oku this year. He brings strength and toughness to the offense. Jackson can churn out yards and gain those important first downs.
Alcorn State is headed into Jonesboro looking at starting a freshman at quarterback. John Gibbs came in relief of junior Darius Smith last week, and gave the Brave offense a spark. That spark has now led to Gibbs getting his first official start.
Smith (367 yds. 0 TD's 1 Int.) has been the starter through the first two games and could see playing time this weekend regardless if he starts or not. Gibbs (6'6 193lbs) gives the Braves offense a big presence in the backfield and someone that can beat a defense with his arm and legs.
Senior running back Arnold Walker (31 carries 90 yds. 0 TD's) is the main ball carrier for Alcorn State but others are lending a hand as well. He is a physically strong young man who can take contact and continue moving his legs. His senior leadership is crucial to the Braves offense.
In addition to Smith, sophomore running back Anthony Williams and sophomore RB Joe Price have also been called upon to carry the load for the Braves. They run multiple backs in hopes of keeping players fresh.
The main receiver for Alcorn State is junior Tavoris Doss. On the season Doss has caught 12 passes for 112 yards. He is a small, (5'8 160lbs) but quick, and can get in between defenders and make plays down the field.
Defensive Notes
Senior linebacker Nathan Herrold is the leader and main defensive threat for the Red Wolves. He has been a tackling machine thru the first three games where he has collected 31 total tackles and one sack so far. His leadership and work ethic has allowed him to become the main star for the Red Wolf defense.
Sophomore linebacker Qushaun Lee is coming into this weekend's game on a bit of a hot streak. Last weekend against Nebraska he collected 15 total tackles along with a fumble recovery returned for a touchdown. Standing at 5-11 225lbs, Lee is a fast and aggressive ball player that has a nose for the football.
Chaz Scales is another senior leader from the secondary who has gotten off to a solid start this year. He has collected 15 tackles with one interception thus far. He is one of the best lockdown cover guy the Red Wolves will put out on the field, and his aggressive attitude and physicality offers could good play from the defensive backfield.
Other defensive standouts to keep an eye on include Andrew Tryon, Kyle Coleman, and Don Jones.
The Alcorn State defense has done a solid job of holding opposing teams offense's down and been able to keep their offense in the game.
Junior defensive back Felando Warr (6'1 160lbs) has been the defensive leader thus far, as he has picked off one pass along with amassing over 15 total tackles.
Senior defensive linemen Jermaine Turner and Stephen Howard are the key cogs up front. Both players offer major beef up front along with having the ability to make tackles in space. Both of these players should be key players in Saturday night's game.
Head coach Gus Malzahn is in his first year with Arkansas State, and his offensive nature has already taken control of the Red Wolf team. Malzahn has went up against two national powers thus far in Oregon and Nebraska where the points might not have been there, but the Red Wolves have shown the ability to move the football on a consistent basis.
Malzahn has experience coaching in the SEC.(Arkansas & Auburn). His pedigree on the offensive side of the ball should do wonders for the Red Wolves this season and beyond.
Head coach Jay Hopson is also in his first year on the job as Head Coach of Alcorn State. In his first career game with the Braves he was able to help lead them to a win against Grambling State 22-21.
Before working at Alcorn State, he was the defensive coordinator at the University of Memphis. He also has coaching stints at Michigan and Southern Miss.
Hopson is a long-time assistant who is looking to make a name for himself with the Braves.
Game Prediction
Both teams are coming into this weekend's contest with two losses, and both are looking to get back on the winning track.
The Red Wolves have game experience against two of the best programs in the nation while Alcorn State is headed into Jonesboro going up against their first FBS opponent on the year.
For the Red Wolves, this game is the perfect opportunity to gain some confidence on both sides of the football.
The plays have been there offensively, but minor mistakes have prevented the Red Wolves from making big plays, and at times prevented them from scoring, so look for the team to work on fundamentals during the game.
"We've played two really good defenses," Head coach Gus Malzahn said earlier in the week. "Anytime you throw the ball vertically, you've got to protect, and in pure passing situations, it's been tough on us against those two teams we're talking about. Really the bottom line is that if we can get the pace going and get some first downs running the football, and as I've said before we have to be able run the football to effectively throw it vertically down the field."
Defensively, the Red Wolves have suffered due to a lack of quality tackling. While the team is playing a lot of young players on defense, the coaching staff is looking for improvement each week.
"[Nebraska] was a very good rushing offense," said Malzahn. "They wore us down, they got us in space some, and I think really the bottom line is we have got to get better at tackling regardless. The way you do that is through games and getting better each week. They had had some very elusive guys who were good in space, it looked bad. That is going to be a point of emphasis, and we have to get some guys around the ball also."
He also believed that the Red Wolves will benefit defensively after playing two teams in the Top 20 so early on in the season.
"We've faced as good of a run as we're going to see," said Malzahn. "The good thing is we know what it looks like. We've got to improve. We're playing a lot of young guys. We only returned three guys from last year, and we put in a new defense, so you have to keep that in perspective."
"The key is, are we going to be able to improve each week" Malzahn continued. "If we can do that each week, then we are going to be fine."
Look for the Red Wolves to improve this week, and do things on defense that will help them gain some confidence as well as they prepare to head into Sun Belt Conference play next week.
Chris Smith's Prediction: Arkansas State 42 Alcorn State 10
Luke Matheson's Prediction: Arkansas State 54 Alcorn State 10
David Kenley's Prediction: Arkansas State 54 Alcorn State 13

Mark Tercek: Goldman Banker Turned Environmentalist
HONG KONG, June 11, 2013—Mark Tercek, CEO of The Nature Conservancy Conversation and author of the book Nature's Fortune: How Business and Society Thrive by Investing in Nature, joined in an intellectual conversation with Asia Editor of Financial Times, David Pilling, to discuss the interconnection and mutual benefit between nature and business.
Can nature work together with business in a win-win pattern? To Mark Tercek, a banker turned environmentalist with a 24-year past work experience at Goldman Sachs, the answer is yes. He considered that business was "a force for good in general" and the value of the environment was also very important in doing business.
As a nature lover himself, Tercek thought everyone had the potential to care about the environment. He said, "There was an environmentalist in everyone. We have to help people to unlock that."
Tercek emphasized that the efforts to protect the environment in an economical way would bring benefits in three aspects: Attracting financial resources to work with, having more people on environmentalists' side, and creating a better dialogue between people and nature. He said, "Rather than say 'no', we say 'how'". He mentioned many cases in his book where his group offered both economical and practical solutions for companies and governments to achieve a win-win situation.
In Quito, the capital of Ecuador, Tercek and his group managed to get supporting resources and to persuade a water company to adopt their suggestions so that the environment could be protected in a profitable way.
He also further demonstrated that the necessity of understanding nature conservation would likely to generate significant economic value than otherwise. After the severe floods mainly caused by deforestation broke out in 1998, the Chinese government did their investigations with findings supporting that the value of the standing forests was three times the value of realized timbers. The famous project, Three Gorges Dam, was one of the significant nature conservation initiatives that the Chinese government undertook as a result.
"If we can help governments and business better understand the economic value of the nature, we'll make better decisions." Tercek concluded.

This is a superb Christmas concert piece you will dig out of your library year after year! Familiar Christmas melodies along with original material are woven with fresh contemporary sounds into one of the nicest holiday selections to arrive on the scene in a long time.

Hi Vancoverguy...
You don't have to be alone....you have found a friend in me. Though a stranger I understand your plight. I am Oluwa. I have Lupus. My mother died of terminal cancer..tomorrow is 14 years her passing.
Having a life threatening chronic disease we create an island of one....isolate and separate ourselves....
Here there are many, like you, like me....to help you through. A few in Canada...many in the USA. So, you are not alone here. Several guys..me, I am a girl.
I used to live in Seattle, now South Carolina...so I am familiar with the PNW and with a few trips to Vancover...such a gorgeous area, eh?
I believe the thing that helps us to cope is to talk about the things that plague us emotionally. The disease does take it's toll on our spirit too....
Advice on how to cope emotionally and physically? In relationship or work?
Lets talk I am here..hugs,
