How does lack of sleep affect you?
Asked by Shippy (9870) September 5th, 2012
I know only one other person, a friend, who is also very badly effected by lack of sleep. I get anxiety, very emotional, feel ill, palpitations and just generally I am a mess.
Also how do you cope with lack of sleep? I'm not talking caffeine and so on, but how the heck do you get through the day?

Sky News will this week unveil sweeping changes, understood to include job cuts and the axing of underperforming programmes introduced for the network's relaunch last autumn.
Top of the Sky News hit list is believed to be Sky Report with Julie Etchingham, the hour-long 7pm daily bulletin providing a roundup and analysis of the day's events.
World News Tonight with James Rubin, which follows the Sky Report at 8pm, is also thought to be under threat.
The Sky Report is well resourced by Sky News' standards, with around 30 dedicated staff - many recruited from the BBC and ITN - but has failed to boost significantly the channel's ratings since the relaunch in October.
Etchingham, who is highly regarded by Sky News management, is expected to stay with the broadcaster and other Sky Report staff are thought likely to be redeployed to other areas of the channel's output.
However, it is understood some jobs will go from Sky Report, among the wider Sky News staff cuts.
Sky News executives are said to have yesterday begun talking to individual staff who may be affected by the cuts, with a formal announcement to all employees about the planned changes expected on Friday.
The presentation to staff is expected to be made by Nick Pollard, the head of Sky News, or possibly the Sky Networks managing director, Dawn Airey.
It was announced last month Mr Pollard was to leave Sky News in September, after more than a decade at the helm of the award-winning channel.
He is to be replaced by the Sky News executive editor, John Ryley, who is about to leave the UK to follow a two-month business and finance course at Wharton University in the US.

Hi all,
I had a radical nephrectomy 6 weeks ago now and tomorrow is my follow up appointment. I know I need to know the staging of the tumor but I suppose I'm just a little frightened about what May hear. Initially they were only going to do a partial but the roots were longer than they thought so they took the whole kidney. Is the sizing just the bit that is visable and not include the roots? After the op they said they were confident it was contained and by the ct scan it was approximately 4cm.....could they have got that part wrong? He also said no follow up treatment just monitoring for 5 years. I suppose I am just looking to you all because you are either going through it or have come out the other side. I'm so glad to have found this site and I am happy to meet you all.
Feb 27, 2013 - 8:06 am
Sounds like you are saying that this will be your first glimpse of the pathology report which seems a bit odd, mine took 5 days. At any rate, a 4.0cm tumor is small, roots or no roots, and clear cell, stage 1, grade 1, with clear margins are the most likely results. Mine was 4.2cm and it has been nearly 3 1/2 years for me, it seems like the blink of an eye and I expect you'll think so too. A surgical cure is likely and you should have a long time to tell the tale of when you "HAD" cancer long ago.
Let us know how it turns out,
Feb 27, 2013 - 8:17 am
Hi Gary,
5 days?? Wow!! I'm in Ireland and things take a little longer here!! Yep it will be the first time I hear what type it was etc. 3 1/2 years that is fabulous and I am delighted to hear that.....it always helps to hear positive stories. Its amazing how most of these tumors are only caught by chance. I was sent for an ultrasound for my gall bladder and this is how mine was flagged and I still think someone upstairs was looking after me!!
Feb 27, 2013 - 8:34 am
Hi Eims,
It took a motorcycle crash and a bunch of broken bones to find mine, but I've never regretted it for a second. I visited Ireland 18 yers ago, beautiful, but I'm glad I'm on this side of the pond, I don't think I could have lasted for six weeks, WAITING SUCKS!!! You are right about being looked after from above.
Feb 27, 2013 - 8:46 am
I am feeling a little on the nervous side today but I know we will get throught it. I hope the crash didn't do you too much more harm but honestly I truly believe everything happens for a reason!! My goodness the roads here are bad enough at the moment so 18 years ago they were atrocious!!! I just hope he hasn't changed his mind since after the op ;-) Thanks Gary.
Feb 27, 2013 - 8:09 am
You are about 2 months ahead of me on all this. I'm following along, trying to be a cheerleader when I really haven't learned all the cheers yet, but I'm enthusiastic! I DO know that a positive attitude and outlook keeps spirits high and that is important!
I'll be reading others posts here with great interest. I have two good ears (so to speak) and I'm a good listener. I'll stop by to help rally you on as often as I can!
Cheers! Bon Chance!

Sounds like from your description so far that everything will be OK with your initial results. Let us know if we are right.

well the results came back and i think i am still in shock. they told me that the cancerous part of the tumor was smaller than they thought 2.3cm. it was a t1 grade 3. they are happy that it was contained and it will be a ct in 6 months time. i really feel like i was exceptionally lucky and blessed at the same time.

Mar 01, 2013 - 1:20 pm
There, now that wasn't so bad was it, yeah right. Bet you're wondering what all the fuss was about. Soon you'll have forgotten most of the bad stuff and things will be back to "normal" except for those darn scans to remind you, but you can LIVE with those.
Mar 01, 2013 - 2:47 pm
gary i know exactly what you mean!!! i was super hyper yesterday and i am sure my consultant thought i was a nutter!! honestly i bounced out of the hospital and i just kept saying to my friend that you couldn't ask for better results than that and she kept saying yes you could...like no tumor for a start hahahaha. i am extremely happy and my goodness am i blessed.

I had similar good news yesterday! Stay well. Enjoy life!
Mar 02, 2013 - 2:47 am
Good news for you Eims! It's so good to see positive out of this. Like some have said, before you know it life will be back to normal. I'd take the scans any day - glad to hear it turned out well for you.
Mar 02, 2013 - 3:01 am
i just wanted to say thank you to you all and another positive out of this is the lovely people on here. it wonderful how virtual strangers can support you and make it be ok...if that makes sense!!! one thing i have learned through this journey is the people who really care about us and the people who don't. i am grateful for the small things now and i appreciate them more too. happy weekend to you all.

Man, everyone's doing the Red Band stuff now, even when it doesn't necessarily need it. There was that "The Thing" trailer, and now a Red Band TV spot for Jonah Hill's comedy "The Sitter", in which a still-chubby Jonah Hill has to babysit a bunch of brats on the same night he's trying to get a piece of ass from some blonde. Oh, the trials of a horny dude.
When the world's most irresponsible babysitter takes three of the world's worst kids on an unforgettable overnight adventure through the streets of New York City, it's anyone's guess who's going to make it home in one piece. THE SITTER is a new level of twisted and debauched hilarity from the director of Pineapple Express, starring Jonah Hill.
Starring Jonah Hill, Max Records, Ari Graynor, JB Smoove, and Sam Rockwell. "The Sitter" is directed by David Gordon Green, who bombed pretty badly with "Your Highness". He's hoping for redemption when "The Sitter" opens December 9th.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Organic Lawn Care' started by cenlo, Jun 8, 2004.
Hey there,
You seem a little testy. maybe you could go get some frsutrations out on those dandelions
Most peopledon't pull weeds because no one can afford to pay us to pull weeds AND the professional and responsible use of pesticides is not a problem.
I do pull weeds in beds occaasionally and do carry a weed puller with me that looks like a screwdriver with a notchat the end -- helps me get the weeds with a deep taprooof. Generally -- i don;t worry about getting the whole root though. I f I get a reall bad bed I go a head and pull everthing as good as I can and then come back in two weeks and spray R-up on anything that decided it had the will to survicve.
I would have to triple my application price or even more if I was to start hand pulling weeds.
LOL!!! What are you getting frusterated about??
I'm not testy, I just know the answeres are available on this site. (Just trying to kickstart a response). I am chemical and pesticide free and my pricing starts at $435.00/ 2500 ft2. I add xtra to remove weeds. I have to pull the weeds manuallly as there is no alternative other than the vinegar. Cgm is pre-em. so its not going to work and the weeds are perenials. (Tryusing the Fiskars powerjaws weeder, way faster than vinager and no brown patches!)
I sympathise with you and also have a pesticide free business. Its quite difficult to take a lawn which has already gone to heck and turn it around without pesticides. It does take some time. You simply cannot sell the kind of results that the traditional lawn care companies do, bottom line. You cant tell people that they will have no weeds in the first yr, and if you make that promise thinking you will pull all the weeds you are doomed.
I am enjoying your threads, plz keep posting. I have utilized many of the alternatives you are trying with mixed results. I dont use the vinegar in lawns yet because of the little patch of dead grass around the weed. I will start testing C.G.M. next spring and really hope it works. I hope that the only reason everyone doesnt already use it is because of the cost and that people will pay the extra money to reduce pesticide use. I hope my friend who runs a golf course and tested it and says it didnt work is wrong. Do you really not use any (traditional) pesticides? Thats cool. Tell me if you have tried the Infra Red Weeder.
cenlo, keep up the good work buddy,, every customer i contracted out to you is very impressed with your products and work so far.....
I'm not sure if this helps or not but I'm very new to lawn care and am not in the business, but I inherited a lawn where the house was vacant for about 2-3 years. I had to seed like a madman last fall and this spring a had a load of weeds. I tried hand picking them, and it would take hours, but they would either grow back or new ones would pop up. I wanted to be organic, but I broke down and used Stay Green weed killer. One application and ALL of my weeds were gone. I was amazed. I did also use CGM as a pre-emergent. Right now my lawn is virtually weed and crabgrass free. Just need to figure out a way to get rid of the damn FIRE ANTS!!!
ty Hazy, all experience is welcome here, when did u apply the cgm and and what rate. If you did it early and at the posted 20 lbs per thousand square feet with little impact that is something we need to know as many of us are in the testing stages for this product.
As you discovered it is very dificult to take a poor lawn and make it nice quickly without a pesticide. did u prep at all before overseeding, eg. power rake?
For the lawns that are really bad I'm trying two different options. A) Picking 30-50% of existing weeds, then verticut with endophytic grass seed at 5#'s / 1000. After the seeds are 1" in ht(or about 4-6 weeks) I will apply cgm in pellet form at a rate of 20#'s / 1000 and apply again 6 weeks later plus pre-winter 3-1-5 fert. B) Wipe out yard with vinegar, then overseed at 8#'s / 1000 and so on.......................
Not sure which is the better option, I'll keep you posted. I just wish a I new if I should use pellitized cgm or powder?
Why is vinegar a better solution than glysophate?

Even though the water for solo albums from drummers of successful rock bands is murky at best, a first solo album from a drummer at least holds the possibility of greatness, or even listenability.
So, when Phil Rudd, drummer for AC/DC, releases his first ever solo album, Head Job, on Aug. 29, anticipation can run rampant, as there is no previous indication on whether it will be great like Phil Collins or more like Radiohead's Phil Selway, for whom the response was a bit more mixed.
Related: Brian Johnson Says AC/DC's New Album is Done, Called Recording 'Difficult' Without Malcolm Young
As noted by Ultimate Classic Rock, Rudd spoke with Australia's Triple J radio to make his own play on his name, promising "plenty of Phil… but no filler." Though normally out of the spotlight, Rudd also hoped "everyone thinks this is a great album from start to finish because that's the idea."

New to these Boards, but have been lurking and learning for the past half year or so. There are a lot of brilliant people on CH; hope I can contribute in some way going forward…….
I have been reading (probably too much) about braising and stewing; I understand the differences and the benefits (I think) of the 2 methods, but I'm a little stuck on one concept which is….
I've read that liquid evaporates during braising. But if braising means the lid is on, and on tight from what I understand, then how can liquid evaporate?
Perhaps I've just misunderstood….
With thanks,

Shark Attacks Decline. The Good News and the Bad.
An Interview with the University of Florida's Shark Specialist, George Burgess.
By Chris Dixon
Last week, the University of Florida published an article stating that for the third straight year in a row, shark attacks have declined by some 30 percent worldwide.
The shark attack data came from George Burgess, director of the International Shark Attack File at the University's Museum of Natural History.
According to the file:
*The number of shark attacks dropped for the third year in a row, with 55 unprovoked attacks reported in 2003.
*In 2002, there were 63, in 2001 there were 68 and 2000 saw 79 reported attacks.
*Of worldwide fatal attacks, 11 occurred in 2000, 4 in 2001, 3 in 2002 and 4 in 2003.
*A total of 36 attacks occurred in American waters in 2003, and not surprisingly, Florida led the list with 31.
*Volusia County, home of New Smyrna Beach had 14 attacks, compared with 18 in '02 and 22 in '01.
*Of American attacks in 2003, 29, or 54 percent had victims who were surfers or windsurfers.
The report went on to back up a possible reason for the drop in attacks to overfishing. On the East Coast, some species have dropped 40 to 50 percent in population in the last 15 years. A few species have seen their numbers drop 70 percent.
While on its face, a drop in attacks is good news for surfers, is a decline in shark numbers good news on the whole? In the interest of learning a little more, I phoned Dr. Burgess in Florida. He turned out to be a cornucopia of information on sharks, and he did a great job of explaining differences in attack patterns in Florida, California and Hawaii. He also went to explain why, the next time you reel in a little shark while fishing, maybe you should throw it back rather than let it flop to death on the deck of your boat.

I found that the convertToGL() helps me to convert the origin (0,0) to TopLeft of the screen which is somehow useful.However, when I have a child under a translated parent (e.g. button inside a dialog frame or an HP bar over a monster's head ), I can't use convertToGL() to the child.The convertToGL() seems just return (screen height - y) as y-coordinate to me. Thats pretty useless in this case.
What is the right way to do it?Or should I just not use convertToGL() at all?

Highlighting on iOS app Question

Are we going to be able to do word level highlighting on the iPad app? I know I can do it on the desktop and it will sync, but I want to do it on my iPad when I'm out.
Don't know if iOS can handle this or not.

+1 for this feature. I like to do Inductive Bible Study and highlighting specific words is a feature I need. I do it on my iMac but having the ability to also do it on my iPad would make it even better.
Actually it would be good to have special highlighter screen mode: highlighter color patches would be displayed at the bottom of the iPad's screen so I could just choose color and tap on the words to highlight them. Then tap on another color and again tap on the words to color their background. Wow, that would be very useful feature for quick visual text analysis! :-)

Photographer's Note
It gets more and more interesting: previous upload was called the Bloody Foreland and now I have the Witch Mountain. But this time the title was just my invention. Few years ago there was a movie titled Race to the Witch Mountain and I thought it may fit well here with a small modification.
In the reality this mountain is called Errigal.
I expect some of you may ask if I went to the top. Well I intended but I have turned back. First of all walking in Ireland is kind of tricky as the trails are not marked at all. Secondly: many mountains are surrounded by some boggy areas. Practically it means that the areas are always wet. For example in the Wicklow Mountains there is this lake which has the shape of the heart. Darek1978 presented it in his TE gallery. To get there you have to be ready that you will get immersed in the mud relatively deep. He told me he got his legs completely into the mud. We have attempted to get there several times but after getting into the mud up to ankles we have turned around. Once we spent a whole day searching for a suitable passage. In the end a trail which would take one hour took several hours, but we managed to get there. Here it was same story with the trail to the Errigal summit: it started in a field of bog. We attempted to find a passage but then after seeing people coming back from the mountain who were at least until their waist covered with mud, we decided that we are not as determined. I guess preparing a well marked trail with some rocks making it more passable would encourage people to walk in Irish mountains. But spending time outdoor for obvious reasons is not very popular in Ireland so maybe that is why nobody thought about it yet. Instead they have a well developed pubbing culture as they call it here.
Mount Errigal, or simply Errigal (Irish: An Earagail, possibly meaning "oratory") is a 751 metres (2,464 ft) mountain near Gweedore in County Donegal. It is the tallest peak of the Derryveagh Mountains, the tallest peak in County Donegal, and the 76th tallest peak in Ireland. Errigal is well-known for the pinkish glow of its quartzite in the setting sun. Another noted quality is the ever-changing shape of the mountain depending on what direction you view it from. Errigal was voted 'Ireland's Most Iconic Mountain' by Walking & Hiking Ireland in 2009.

ciao Mariusz,
bell'inquadratura con la strada che va verso la montagna.
Immagine ottimamente definita con la curva della strada che dà profondità,
buona giornata

Hi Mariusz,
I like the diagonal of the road in your framing, and the deep and dynamic perspective created by the curve, in a composition that leads our look towards the mountain in background, in the middle of a really superb landscape.
The image has a great sharpness, a very pleasant light and a few very natural colors, perfectly managed.
You have done an excellent work.
Best regards,
macjake (77779) 2011-08-02 4:20
Hi Mariusz
its always a joy to read your notes, very often they provide an interesting story.
such as here, about all that mud! I dont blame you at all for not wanting to be mud covered!
absolutely love this scene you're captured.
were you low to the ground here? its a wonderful perspective.
the road, the depth, the curve, the mountain, the clouds, the pale blues...everything is perfectly captured.
high quality workmenship.
well done my friend
delpeoples (60236) 2011-08-02 4:41
Hi dear Mariusz
This is a great shot of Errigal. The winding road leads the eye across the frame and towards that magnificent mountain. I love the colours, the blue sky (wow) with those little clouds. The depth of field and details - especially on the mountain - is stupendous. My nieces recently climbed the mountain for charity. They said it was really difficult and bl**dy cold.
Have a great day

Bonjour Mariusz,
J'aime beaucoup les pointillés jaunes qui guide le regard vers la montagne à l'horizon. Ils donnent une belle profondeur à l'image . Le paysage est beau et le ciel magnifique.

Hello Mariusz.
A simple but masterly composition, with so many pleasing elements, like the winding road, the foreground flowers, the yellow lines emerging from the lower corner. Excellent exposure of the green tones and the sky. The mountain is so well made the dominant focal point in this picture of wide open spaces. Nice work, and very good note too!

Hi Mariusz,
You had good weather in Donegal at last ! I stayed a few days there a few years ago (in the hostel down the mountain) and I had great time there, the road from Dungloe is absolutely fantastic and the mountain is incredibly beautiful, in particular when the weather is sunny. You chose a very good POV with the road that drives the look to the mountain. Light and colours are great, sharpness is excellent. I didn't climb Errigal neither. But not for the reasons you said, I was just lazy lol
Thanks for sharing,

Bonjour Mariusz,
Cette montagne ressemble un peu à celle de ma région qu'on a appelée " le Mont Gerbier de Jonc
" qui culmine à 1550m. J'aime ce paysage qui reste sauvage et encore à l'abri des touristes.

Hello Mariusz,
The composition is brilliant, with the road, the curve and the flowers of the foreground. The photo is deep, and it is a pleasure to see the mountain under this magnificent cloudy sky. Excellent quality also. Bravo.
Have a nice evening
s_lush (16602) 2011-08-03 11:19
Hello Mariusz,
This pretty tall mountain, with such steep slopes, looks very impressive in your picture, which is composed perfectly well. As usual, your composition has a great foreground and beautiful sky, where there are at least three types of clouds. The photographic qualities are excellent, especially exposure and sharpness. Very well done!
Best regards,

Witaj Ta diabelska góra mogłaby udawać jakiś wysoki wulkan, na przykład Fuji. Szkoda, ze jednak zrezygnowałeś z wejscia na szczyt - byłby ładny widok, zwłaszcza, ze pogoda wyjątkowo dopisała. A co tam błocko, jak sie wysuszy, to sie wykruszy, jak glosi mądrość ludowa. 751 m, haha, co to za wysokość, troche więcej niz Góry Świętokrzyskie. Fajna pusta droga, bez kolein i dziur, widać że nie u nas. No i jakieś zielsko ładnie kwitnie przy drodze, podobne do żarnowca.
adramad (52488) 2011-08-04 8:55
Hi Mariusz.
Wonderful image of this mountain, this mixture of colors gives a special charm, the perspective of the road gives a good effect of DOF, fields with shrubs are resistant to harsh climate of the country, sorry for the difficulties hiking in the country, with the interesting places they have, your interesting note and makes it clear that they prefer to go to the pub.
The sky is superb with that color and beautiful clouds, if an ideal image with a colorful and fantastic lighting. Nice big picture.
Best regards.

It has been a mystery until now, as to when the much anticipated compilation of Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music would be released. Today the artist unveiled not only the release date, but also the album artwork via Twitter.
As expected the artwork is very clean. Soon we should also find out who did it, we are not sure that it was again Givenchy's Riccardo Tisci, but who knows.
The album will be released September 4th, 2012.

News Release
Bonnie Smith, (215) 814-5543
PHILADELPHIA – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has cited Altoona, Pa.-based Sheetz, Inc., owner of two convenience and gas stores in Winchester, Va., for violating federal and state regulations designed to prevent fuel leaks from underground storage tanks.
The alleged violations involved seven underground storage tanks at two Sheetz stores in Winchester, Va., located at 2311 Valley Avenue [STORE 203] and 1683 Berryville Pike [STORE 207]. According to EPA=s complaint, the company:
- failed to immediately investigate and report suspected fuel leaks in 2000 and 2001 from four 15,000-gallon gasoline and diesel fuel tanks at the Valley Avenue store; and
EPA seeks a $32,530 penalty for these alleged violations, and has ordered the company to immediately comply with applicable underground storage tank regulations.
The company has the right to contest the violations and the proposed penalty.
With millions of gallons of gasoline, oil, and other petroleum products stored in underground storage tanks throughout the U.S., leaking tanks are a major source of soil and groundwater contamination. EPA and state regulations are designed to reduce the risk of underground leaks, and thus avoid the costs of major cleanups. For more information on EPA=s underground storage tank program, visit: http://www.epa.gov/swerust1/.

Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell and the Union Sportsmen's Alliance (USA), an organization representing affiliates and members of the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO), will sign a Memorandum of Understanding later today stating their collective commitment to rebuild, renew and restore our country's national parks, national wildlife refuges and other public lands alongside youth and veteran conservation corps.
The agreement, which will be signed at the Union Sportsmen's Alliance's Annual Conservation Gala in the nation's capital, will pair the Union Sportsmen's Alliance all-volunteer "Work Boots on the Ground" program with shovel-ready projects on public lands.
"This agreement with the AFL-CIO and the Union Sportsmen's Alliance is really a win-win," said Secretary Jewell. "Not only will our nation's parks and public lands benefit from the expert labor, but many young people will have an opportunity to work alongside the volunteers, learning about the great outdoors and gaining important trade skills. I applaud the Union Sportsmen's Alliance for their work to continue to strengthen the nation through volunteer efforts that will make a big difference in conservation projects across the country."
The MOU outlines a mutual commitment to the cooperative "Work Boots on the Ground" program among the Department of the Interior and its three land-managing bureaus - the National Park Service, Fish and Wildlife Service and Bureau of Land Management - and the AFL-CIO, acting through the Union Sportsmen's Alliance.
"America's workers are committed to doing our part to save our nation's parks and restore our public lands," said Richard Trumka, President of the AFL-CIO. "The USA was established to unite the union community for conservation under a single banner, to protect our most precious and beautiful lands, waters and wild spaces."
There are already "Work Boots on the Ground" projects identified as "shovel-ready' in Illinois, Ohio, Virginia, Minnesota, Maryland, Nevada, Texas and Wisconsin.
"When our union members show up with their tool belts on, they have the skills and training to get the job done," said Fred Myers, Union Sportsmen's Alliance Executive Director and CEO. "To every conservation project they take on, they bring an unmatched work-ethic, superior trade skills and a desire to give back to their community."
The Union Sportsmen's Alliance created the all-volunteer "Work Boots on the Ground" program in 2010 to provide a framework to recruit and coordinate members of the labor union community to volunteer their expert trade skills for conservation projects. In 2013, the Union Sportsmen's Alliance announced the launch of its park program. Since then, park projects have been completed in several states, saving agencies thousands of dollars. The park projects are in addition to many other "Work Boots on the Ground" projects around the country, including Get Youth Outdoors Day and Take Kids Fishing Day events in three cities.
The Union Sportsmen's Alliance reports there are more than 7 million union members who recreate regularly in the outdoors, making them one of the nation's largest single constituencies of outdoor users.
Today's agreement complements the Interior Department's youth initiative to inspire millions of veterans and young people to play, learn, serve and work outdoors. The Memorandum of Understanding emphasizes that, when possible, the AFL-CIO and Union Sportsmen's Alliance will work collaboratively with youth and veteran corps in order to share experience and expertise.

FORT WORTH, Texas — The clinical development director of Rx.com Pharmacy Benefit Coalition is among the first few dozen pharmacists to receive a specialty pharmacy certification, the company said.
Rx.com PBC, an affiliate of pharmacy technology company PDX, said Cheryl Jorgenson received her certified specialty pharmacist endorsement from the Specialty Pharmacy Certification Board, which is designed to indicate to employers, manufacturers, payers, providers and others that a pharmacist is an expert in specialty drugs. The SPCB administered the first exam in October, and Jorgenson is one of only 50 pharmacists in the country to receive the CSP certification.
The certification allows Jorgenson to advise Rx.com Pharmacy Benefit Coalition patients as to plan design and coverage issues regarding the entire range of drug treatments.
"Earning this recognition will assure our patients, customers, colleagues and clients that Cheryl is an expert not only in clinical specialty therapies, but also in all aspects of handling and delivery of specialty pharmaceuticals," Rx.com VP strategic planning Jerry Ray said. "By achieving the skills and recognition of Certified Speciatly Pharmacist, Cheryl demonstrates both a commitment to the profession and a level of knowledge for all aspects of specialty pharmacy including the dispensing, clinical management and patient outcomes."

My month long trip to Europe this summer (2012) starts with about two weeks in Italy and Slovenia/Northern Croatia. My husband then flies back to the US from Milan and I have ten more days before flying home from Amsterdam. The last five days I plan to spend in Holland. That leaves me with five days/nights between leaving Milan and arriving in Holland.
If you draw a straight line from Milan to Amsterdam it goes right through Luxemborg, a place I've never been so my original plan was a couple nights there followed by three in Belgium (probably Ghent, already been to Brussels and Brugge). But now that I'm researching it more closely it appears most people are very bored with Luxemborg. It is a UNESCO site so it must have something going for it. But perhaps there is a better use of my time.
So if you were in my place what would you do? If not Luxemborg where else would you stop between Milan and Amsterdam? It appears to be a full day (about 8 hours including an hour or so stop) train trip from Milan to Luxemborg. I could stop half way in Strasborg, Fr but then that adds another hotel and all. Any other suggestions?

I am not bored with Luxembourg - I think it's very pretty, but my trips there (and there have been about 2 -3 so far) were all short. Only on one occasion did I stay overnight, and that was out in the countryside (we had a car). You can see the casemates (war fortifications dug out of a hillside) and visit the old town, which is down in a valley below the main part of the city (walking shoes advisable). Dining is also really good, with similarities to the food in Belgium. So give Luxembourg a day (in my opinion probably no more than that), and try to get out and see the countryside too. I've heard Vianden is worth seeing too, although I've not been there myself.
Report Abuse
Five days, even assuming two days of travel--one to the in-between destination and the other from there to Amsterdam--leaves three days. Basel might be the right place. It has numerous museums (the Vitra Chair museum is right over the border in Weil, the Fondation Beyeler, the music museum in the old jail, the historical museum, the fine arts museum), an old town with a cathedral and a Tinguely fountain, and easy access by train to other Swiss cities (Aarau, Zurich, Fribourg) if two days is enough time spent in Basel. My guess is that the connection from Basel to Amsterdam would be either via the Rhine valley or via Paris.
Report Abuse
In order to make this simple - I need to know:
if you are going to buy a point to point one way rail ticket for the trip Milan-Amsterdam
you are going to travel on a Eurail pass and if so how many rail/days will you still have at your disposal?
If the answer is A, then you could stop somewhere on the route - provided you have that intermediate stopover point listed on your ticket.
If the answer is B, you can go almost anywhere "off course".
In order to determine your best options check the route maps in the Thomas Cook Timetables at your local library or possibly a good travel agency...
However, Basel seems to be a very good bet...
Another pit stop could be Bern - very scenic old town with the river meandering through it.
Take the daytime trip from Basel northbound and you will also see the scenic Rhine Valley with its castles high above the river and boat traffic along it...
Paris is an option too, but big cities are a bit challenging for a short stay especially if it is a first trip there, so again Basel would make more sense. I have no access to the T Cook Timetables at present so can not look it up for you.
Report Abuse
Thanks for your replies. Have not been to Basel so I'll look into that. That is where most of the trains from Milan to Luxembourg need to change. I have been to Bern and Zurich and the Rhine Valley so would rather see something new.
Type of train ticket doesn't matter - I doubt I'll get a rail pass but am willing to buy several point to point tickets so I can stop any place that makes sense.
lavandula - glad to hear you liked Luxembourg. I'm trying to psych myself up for it. It looks like if I came from Milan in one day I would arrive just before five pm so I was thinking two nights which would really just give me one day. Do you think that would be enough to see the city itself plus visit Vianden?

I hear Stasbourg is supposed to be very nice, because of its postition it has both French and German influences.

>I was thinking two nights which would really just give me one day. Do you think that would be >enough to see the city itself plus visit Vianden?
Again I haven't been to Vianden but I would think it would be ample time unless you are planning to do a museum in the city or sitting down to a three-course lunch, in which case your visit to Vianden might be a little rushed. But everybody is a tourist in their own way - you might not elect to do the city in a slow way, in which case I would think you could fit it all in.

Here is a link I found - it looks like the tourist office's walking tour of Luxembourg City (casemates, upper and lower town) is 100 minutes:

After looking at the various alternatives I guess I'm going with my original plan which is two nights in Luxembourg and then three nights in one of the Belgian cities - either Antwerpt or Ghent. One of the disadvantages (although it certainly isn't really a disadvantage) of having done quite a bit of traveling is that I've already been to many of the places suggested here. Aachen, Luzern, Bern, Rhine Valley - were all really nice but if there's somewhere I have not yet been that is equally easy to go to I guess I'd rather see somewhere new.
lavandula - I see you have answered a lot of the posts about Belgium. Can you give any opinion as to Antwerpt versus Ghent? From what I've read Ghent seems more my speed - not really into a "cosmopolitan" city as much as picturesque historic center. But the dates I will be there are July Fri the 13 through Sunday the 15th which I understand is the start of their festival and I'm afraid the crowds will be horrible. I'd still visit it as a day trip but perhaps would be better off staying in Antwerp. Thoughts?
Report Abuse
If Ghent, I recommend this B&B:
We found our B&B through the Ghent web page, choosing first by geographical location and then by what was available in the area. The location was perfect, the room was in the "courtyard" and was very quiet. I put courtyard in quotation marks because we were on the second floor and what had been a courtyard was now a covered space with a deck on top. The weather was perfect for us to have breakfast on the deck every morning. Had the weather been otherwise the room had a large sitting area in front of a fire place with a small table for writing or having breakfast. The one quirkiness: the bathroom was behind a wall but had no door. For availability, contact Anne Gourhant Steyaert ([email protected]) Burgstraat 25, 9000 Gent.
Although it's been a while since we stayed there.

Some thoughts to help you make the decision: Antwerp is quite a big centre and rivals Brussels in many ways. Fantastic restaurants and a historic centre, good bars. Shopping is excellent in Antwerp, better even than Brussels IMO. I am not really into it, but it's also the centre of the diamond trade. There are also some significant art galleries and museums in Antwerp but you would have to check if they are all open - the main art gallery was closed for a period for renovations and I don't know when / if that ended, but that's a real gem.
Ghent is more compact and is more on par with Bruges in size. However, it's a real city with real people living there, not tranquil, and unlike Bruges does not get the tour buses full of visitors, so it's sort of a nice Flemish secret, if you get what I mean. I haven't been there during their festival so I can't comment on how crowded it gets, nor have I done all the museums, but the town itself is picturesque and there is a pretty canal running through the town, which is definitely worth a few panoramic shots on your camera.
Many people devote 2 days to Antwerp instead of Brussels, but it's a totally different vibe to Brussels, and IMO a bit cleaner than Brussels too. Your solution may be to stay in Antwerp but do a short day trip to Ghent - probably easier to get lodgings in Antwerp if there's a festival on in Ghent.

I HAVE gotten the why(s). I have NOT gotten the what(s).
I understand that most people would certainly applaud his massive efforts and his figuring out the why(s). I do. I respect that he dragged himself through hell to uncover what drove him to be the awful person that he was (his words, not mine) that did the awful things he did. The reason he is still here is because he has been working on the why(s) and, as far as I know, has not acted out since I discovered his secret life on d-day1 June 2011.
Last night he actually answered a couple of my what questions about his one admitted PA. In full detail. As if he had not forgotten ever. Now, Im not stupid, I never bought the I dont remember shit. But, I did buy the certified professionals and multiple others when they said, maybe he doesnt remember or he is so ashamed he just needs time to work it out. So, this morning I asked him why-since he clearly remembers everything-he has chosen to leave me traumatized/in misery when he could have easily fessed-up years ago and we could have been working on R or going our separate ways, whichever the case may be. His response (he got the same soul-less look on his face and in his eyes that he did when he finally admitted to PAs) was, I might feel like stabbing myself if I talk about it.
Now, I dont know if there is anyone here anymore that remembers or can relate to my story (I deleted it from my profile due to privacy concerns-not with SI, but internet privacy in general), but hes played the Im going to hurt myself card many times in the past. Its his NPD biological mothers favorite tactic to gain sympathy and divert attention (or blame) from any real issue at hand, especially when she is the cause of the issue. I dont doubt for a second that it IS embarrassing for him and I, for the most part, think Ive been VERY reasonable with my responses and reactions to the horror show that I have discovered and that he has admitted. (Not perfect, I have thrown a couple snide remarks out there upon hearing some of the more ridiculous particulars of his secret life.)
I dont feel like this is a d-day, but I do think this is a JFO (my old stomping ground) topic because it is, yet again, ANOTHER disclosure. What I learned last night (yes, again it was completely different from the 15+ full disclosures that I had received in 2011) was new information. But, more importantly, this is literal confirmation that he HAS remembered and DOES remember and is blowing me (and my pain) off for the fear that he might be uncomfortable about HIS actions.
Im working on it. Im working on this paper for you, he has been saying for the last two years. How long do I have to lie flailing on the ground? I asked him if he was waiting for me to die so that he wouldnt have to actually disclose. I asked if it was a procrastination thing. Nope, hes simply more concerned with his discomfort than he is with my need for the truth and ending my pain.
*And, for the record- as I have stated many times before- I need the information not because I am nosy, controlling, or want to punish myself. I need the information to know that he is, in fact, being honest/sincere and is capable of coming clean; that he is not keeping this secret compartment in a special place to return at his leisure whenever he wants. Most of all, I need him to be honest about the what so that I can see some glimmer of the person that I thought was my best friend, that I married, that I had children with, that I gave everything to

TruthorGoodbye, maybe it's time to take a look at your username and live it. This anal-retentive writing and rewriting can just stop now. He can cough up the letter or find himself another place to sleep.
I might feel like stabbing myself if I talk about it.
Call me nasty, but my response would be something along the lines of, don't worry dear. I know how to dial 911.
D-Day, June 10, 2012
Yup, over 2 years of "working on myself" and "letting him work on himself" as per everyone's advice. Well, I feel that I have worked on myself and have finally come out of the shock/monkey-brain stage (despite the second trauma from 8 months ago) enough to where I am at the point where I need the "actual" disclosure to move forward....for myself. He knows this, hence, the TT from last night.
Update November 2013: It only took seven years but I finally turned a corner. :)
Thanks guys. Momof2: 23 years. You CAN relate! Hell, indeed! What was the final straw for you, if you don't mind me asking?
Anewday: got more TT 2 nights ago and I did exactly what you suggested. He agreed that night to hand over the paper the next day, but last night tried to weasel his way out of it. I stood firm and got the paper . It's over 150 pages and does not include the (updated) timeline because he's still working on it. I'm about 20 pages in and will read more as soon as I get the chance. Good times.
Hope this is comprehensible-hate phone typing!!!
Then, in 2010, I told him I was done. I told him he would never have to talk about it again. We would just split.
And you know what? Only then did he cough up the info. I was glad to finally hear something. To finally see him answer questions. To finally not have the feeling that the 2 of them had a private shared story.
But getting the info only when he had a gun to his head. Didn't help.
Here I am 3 years later. 8 years after the affair. Still stuck on it and on the fact that he could never be honest on his own.
So, good luck with "the report". Maybe it will give some peace but maybe not.
Why oh why can't they just be grown ups and admit what has happened.
Im working on it. Im working on this paper for you, he has been saying for the last two years. How long do I have to lie flailing on the ground?
Time to man up.
You are all so right in that this should have been finished years ago. Enough, already.

My can of McCann's oatmeal (regular, not instant) is almost full and sitting on the counter in my kitchen. I will not be using it until the fall.
Should I store it in the original can? Take out and freeze in a zip-loc bag? Refrigerate?
I do not need ways to use it up..just want to know how to store for the cooler weather. I checked their website but came up empty..

Calgary Storm midfielder Nick Zuniga has the bruises to prove he\'s determined to make last season a memory.
\"I got cuts all over me from (cleats) and stuff like that,\" said the 20-year-old Calgarian.
Zuniga\'s current marks came courtesy of the Storm\'s last A-League contest, a 2-1 win over El Paso on Saturday.
Calgary will try to make it two in a row tonight at Foothills Park (6:30 p.m.) against the Seattle Sounders.
Zuniga had a great game against El Paso but things started to get out of hand late in the contest. He was red-carded and kicked out for the last 10 minutes after getting into a scuffle with an El Paso player.
No word has come down from the league yet whether Zuniga will be suspended or not.
His overall effort earned him A-League team of the week status from the contest.
It was early, though, when Zuniga suffered an injury to his hamstring and he just shrugged it off.
\"I was on a breakaway and I got pulled down,\" he said. \"There should have been a penalty shot but I got up and, after running around a bit after the first half, it started to loosen up.\"
Zuniga didn\'t get back on the pitch until last night but he\'s ready to play against Seattle -- a squad the Storm beat in the first meeting this season.
Against El Paso, Zuniga hooked up with his favourite target, striker Sean Fraser, with a beautiful pass through several players. He then sealed the win on a penalty kick later in the contest.
Through five games in the 2003 campaign, the Storm is halfway to its win total of last year\'s 4-21-3 season.
\"Compared with last season, everybody wants to come and train and get on the field,\" said Zuniga, a three-year Storm veteran.
\"Last year, we would find ourselves four down at half. Second half, we would just try not to get scored on. This season, we try to win in the second half. It\'s a much better feeling.\"
Still, the squad has gotten off to slow starts, including its game against Portland last week when the Timbers scored twice in the first seven minutes en route to a 4-1 win.
The difference now is the team has the confidence to not self-destruct after getting into a hole.
\"We\'ve watched the videos and it was just silly mistakes,\" said Storm head coach Tommy Wheeldon.
\"You\'re going to be hot and cold. But every second half I\'ve been pleased with; it\'s just the starts that are bad. That\'s inexperience.\"
The Storm face the Timbers at home on Sunday (3 p.m.), when Zuniga says his squad will make amends for the earlier defeat.

Need more proof that South Los Angeles voters, not the L.A. Unified school board, should choose the replacement for the late board member Marguerite Poindexter LaMotte?
Here's your LAUSD board at work: This afternoon, the board opted to put off until Jan. 7 its decision on whether to appoint LaMotte's successor or hold a special election in her district. The vote on a resolution to make the decision today ended in a 3-3 stalemate, with Richard Vladovic, Monica Garcia and Tamar Galatzan voting to go ahead and Bennett Kayser, Monica Ratliff and Steve Zimmer voting to delay.
Get this: Kayser, whose op-ed in this newspaper urged the board to "swiftly" appoint a replacement so District 1 wouldn't go unrepresented longer than necessary, voted a two-week delay in even deciding whether to go with an appointment or an election.
What happened to Kayser's wish that District 1 residents "have a voice at the table as soon as possible"?
Among L.A. leaders urging the delay was Rep. Maxine Waters, who said it would be a "violation of African-American custom and practice to replace, substitute or eliminate any position before the conclusion of services and interment."
Waters is one of the leaders lining up behind retired educator George McKenna to serve out the LaMotte's term, which runs to mid-2015. A natural interpretation of today's events is that McKenna backers want more time to build support on the LAUSD board. So while the delayed decision may be hypocritical, it's not without reason.
LaMotte, 80, died suddenly on Dec. 5.
As argued here Monday, LaMotte's constituents should pick her replacement. Not only is a special election generally the democratic way to go. In this instance, the selection of a new board member, which could tip the balance between supporter and opponents of LAUSD Superintendent John Deasy's reform agenda, is too important to be left to the political whims of the school board itself.
Thanks to the school board members who, with their (in)action today, helped to make the case for letting the voters decide.

Yanks can't recover from Teixeira's first error
Yanks can't recover from Teixeira's first error
Even after watching the replay, Teixeira had no idea why he didn't make the play. Nor did he understand how he couldn't at least knock the ball down. It should have been the final out of the seventh inning.
Instead, Teixeira's first error of the season -- his first in 663 chances this year -- allowed Johnson to wheel all the way to third base after driving in what turned out to be the deciding run of the Yankees' 4-3 loss to the Rays before a crowd of 21,742 on Monday night.
"After it goes by, you go, 'What just happened?'" Teixeira said. "I didn't even get leather on it. I just missed it. I don't know what happened. The ball obviously didn't do what I expected it to do."
The trouble started in the seventh, when Boone Logan walked pinch-hitter Sean Rodriguez, who then took second on a wild pitch. Logan induced a Jose Lobaton flyout for the second out of the inning and gave way to David Robertson.
Even with a runner on second, Robertson seemed like a lock to get out of the inning unscathed. The Yankees setup man stranded almost 90 percent of baserunners in 2011. But the Rays countered with pinch-hitter Brooks Conrad, who doubled off the right-field wall to tie the game at 3.
That created an opportunity for Johnson, who lashed a ground ball well within the reach of Teixeira. But it slipped by the four-time Gold Glove Award winner, allowing Conrad to trot home and give the Rays the lead.
"I feel like I flat-out blew the game today; I feel like that one's not on Tex," said Robertson, who has blown a save and taken the loss in two of his last three appearances. "He's made amazing plays behind us all year long. ... It's going to happen. I still should've been able to get Conrad out. That one falls on me today.
"I'm very frustrated. I used to be really good in those situations. I'm not saying that I can't be again, but lately, the last couple outings, I haven't been doing well with them. It's time for me to turn it around and be able to get those big outs. Right there, the team needed a big out, and I wasn't able to get it."
It was just as unusual to see the Rays on the receiving end of a defensive gaffe, as they entered the night second in the Majors with 66 errors while the Yankees' 36 had them tied for the second fewest. That was particularly true for Johnson, who's second on the Rays with eight errors.
"Obviously, the man's won some Gold Gloves," Johnson said. "Him not making it shows that it was a pretty challenging play. You expect him to make it, and I thought it was going to hit the base and kick, but it worked out better that way."
The loss was even more disappointing for the Yankees given the solid start they received from Freddy Garcia, who now has a 1.99 ERA in 11 outings (10 of them in relief) since May 1. Filling out New York's banged-up rotation, the veteran right-hander allowed only two runs, both on solo homers, and struck out four in 5 1/3 innings. B.J. Upton cut New York's lead to 2-1 in the fourth, and Carlos Pena tied the game at 2 by hammering a slider into the right-field stands two innings later.
That was the last batter Garcia faced. He entered the game on a 75-pitch limit, and Pena's homer came on the righty's 74th offering. Yankees manager Joe Girardi considered relieving Garcia after the righty had thrown 69 pitches through five innings, but the manager liked the way Garcia was pitching and sent him back out on a batter-by-batter basis.
The Yankees took Garcia off the hook in the seventh, when Chris Stewart drew a leadoff walk and took second on a wild pitch. Stewart moved to third on Derek Jeter's flyout and scored on Curtis Granderson's sac fly.
"We had the lead a couple times, and we weren't able to hold it," Girardi said. "That makes it a little bit more difficult. Freddy did a tremendous job, and unfortunately, we weren't able to get more than three runs tonight."
New York jumped out to a 2-0 lead against Rays lefty Matt Moore, who struck out 11 Yankees when he first faced them last September, but the rookie calmed down and worked seven strong innings. Moore struck out only three and walked just as many, but he limited the damage after the first with the help of some timely double-play defense.
Unfortunately for the Yankees, their one defensive miscue came at just about the worst possible time from maybe the most unlikely player, and they dropped their eighth straight game at Tropicana Field.
"We should still be playing; that's the tough thing," Teixeira said. "We battled all night, and we should still be playing right now if I make that play."

April 13, 2004, Greencastle, Ind. - Winners of the annual DePauw School of Music Concerto Competition will perform with the DePauw Symphony Orchestra this Sunday, April 18 at 3 p.m. in Kresge Auditorium of the Performing Arts Center. The event is free and open to the public.
The eight winners were selected from 36 contestants during two rounds of competition in February 2004. Judges for the first round were DePauw School of Music faculty. Judges for the final round were faculty from outside the University. The winners include Stephanie Gurga, piano; Adam Bodony, trombone; and Matt Rosensteele, marimba. Two-time winners of the competition are Scarlett Lant, violin; Leighann Daihl, flute; and Stephanie Harris, soprano. Amy Hayes, soprano, is a three-time winner; and Jennifer Wingert, cello, is an extraordinary four-time winner of the competition (photo at top shows, l-r, front row: Rosensteele, Lant, Bodony; back row: Wingert, Gurga, Daihl, Hayes; Harris is not pictured).
Conducted by Orcenith Smith, the concert will feature works by Sibelius (Violin Concerto), Mozart (Flute Concerto in D), Dvorák ('Cello Concerto), Rachmaninoff (Piano Concerto No. 2), Creston (Marimba Concertino), Tomasi (Trombone Concerto), Glitter and Be Gay from Leonard Bernstein's Candide, and the "Doll Aria" from Tales of Hoffmanby Offenbach.

No new manager until next week
Here's what we know in terms of finding a new manager:
Nothing will be settled today according to team sources and the earliest an announcement will be made is next week. Gene Lamont did indeed meet with ownership earlier this week, so he joins Bobby Valentine in that regard.
Torey Lovullo remains in the mix but has not advanced as far in the process as the other two.
Spoke with some people who recently spent time with Valentine and they described him as "really excited" about the idea of managing the Red Sox. But he has not had any communication with the Red Sox since his day-long interview at Fenway Park on Monday.
There are no further interviews scheduled. But you do have to wonder if this delay is somehow related to the Red Sox trying to pull a rabbit out of the hat at the last second.
The Sox were interested in John Farrell, but those talks died when the Blue Jays asked for Clay Buchholz. Dave Waldstein of the New York Times reported that tidbit. Joe Maddon is not leaving Tampa Bay and plans, in fact, to sign a long-term extension.
Is there a mystery candidate beyond that? Probably not. But as GM Ben Cherington said all along, anything is possible.
More likely, the Red Sox are just being methodical and will announce Valentine (or Lamont) as their man next week. We shall see.
