I would not recommend this facility to anyone who cares for their family member. My grandfather recently passed away and this facility had a lot to do with that. He had dementia and this facility took awful care of him. I feel bad saying that because there were some nice staff but overall it was a horrible, awful experience. Most days the door was left propped open because they didn't want to deal with coming to open it when the doorbell rang (very safe for residents with dementia... Not) and other days confused older residents would open the door, at any moment they could have wandered off and how do you know the people they let in were safe? My grandfather had to be transported to the ER multiple times for dehydration that almost killed him thanks to this lovely facility for not offering him liquids very often. One time he was transported without our permission or knowledge and we found our hours later he had been sitting alone in the hospital all day.. The things I saw in this place were horrible. My poor grandfather needed help eating and we would watch him have soup pouring all over him and they said they did not really care, the staff member actually said she would rather him make a mess and clean him up rather than feed him. He was skin and bones. No one was properly feeding or giving him fluids. We witnessed other confused residents eating napkins and told the staff and they said oh well. The majority of staff members were extremely unprofessional and it's pretty bad when there is a sign hanging on the door that says only one staff member can smoke at a time, yet multiple times I was there and 2 or 3 staff members were outside smoking. They should not even be smoking while on this job at all, the sick residents are not getting any better from the smell of smoke all over the employees. There is not even a proper sign form the roadway to let you know where to turn. We were fortunate enough to get him out of there and into a very nice facility but there was so much damage already done to his frail worn out body. So please, if you care for your family member in the very least bit, please look for a better facility, do not let them suffer here.

I visited this facility
November 10, 2014
I am a friend or relative of a resident
Generations Elder Care seems very nice, and they seem very caring. It is located very nicely. My sister's room is just large enough for her. The staff members are very nice and very helpful. They do have activities for the residents, and they make them go to the dining room to eat. They don't want them to eat in their rooms; they want them to move around. I haven't eaten there, but I was able to observe her eating and what they serve, and I met the cook and everybody. From what I saw, the food was very good, and if they didn't like it, the cook fixed something that they would eat.

If you would like to have your child dedicated, please complete the form below.
Why dedicate my child?
We wholeheartedly agree! Several times per year, Victory partners with parents in dedicating their children to the Lord. This is accomplished by parents bringing their children before the Victory Church family and committing to rear them in a Godly fashion with the help of the church.
We recognize that the dedication of a child does not give salvation, rather salvation only comes through Jesus Christ as each person recognizes their sinfulness and receives forgiveness and eternal life through Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord. It is a time, however, when parents are encouraged to actively commit themselves to provide everything necessary for the growth of their child physically, mentally, emotionally, socially, and spiritually.

Huh. Sexism really isn't much of a flaw to poke at since it can just as easily be seen as reflection of Japanese society in general, but whatever.
Anyway, I think this episode really did it for me. I have a much better handle on Taichi's personality now. Basically, I think he is way too empathetic for his own good to the extent that he is able to vicariously experience the emotional pain of others around him. As such, it could be said that the sight of anyone's suffering is enough to inflict a great deal of emotional pain on his psyche. I should have figured this out earlier, but better late than never.
Now, looking at this arc so far, I'd say that the set-up that Mr. Author came up with this time was rather brilliant. I mean, like this, there shouldn't be many problems with melodrama in this arc since the premise allows the characters to pull the all stops with regards to drama while remaining perfectly believable.

Heh, I don't see Go-sensei as anything like Houtarou, who's trying to maintain a distance from society. I think Go-Go actually really wants to be more integrated and socially adept, but lacks the confidence to make it happen.

In my opinion, it's a "good flaw". It shows that Taichi is generally well-intentioned, but that he has to grapple with the ways he acts out on his intentions.

So will the second ED also be only sold on iTunes and the LE version of the BD/DVD? This way of selling it is quite annoying. :/
Though I still don't know whether I'd get it, as the first ED doesn't seem to include the powerful intro to the song, so I can guess that the second ED won't either (even though it also sounds really good). D:

I like what they're trying to do with Taichi's character, but I think the way they're doing it doesn't quite work. I can only rely on what he and others say about him regarding his selfless freak personality, because the events themselves don't have a single instance when he crossed the line.
I think Inaba is a much better person than she thinks she is, but she's being held back by self-hate. Her lack of trust makes her think she's a bad person in general so she acts with that image in mind.
I'll take a bite of my hypothetical hat for the argument between Aoki and Taichi. I can't believe Taichi actually called him useless, I was sure no-one in the show would notice that. It was refreshing seeing Aoki get angry and jealous, rather than just laugh about it. It shows that there's some bitterness under his goofy personality.
I hate Fujishima. She's the obnoxious shipper character who constantly butts into other people's business. Guardian Enzo described well what bothers me about her. And dear God, Watase. The show was doing great without your type of character. Why do you even have a name?
The animation was pretty bad this episode. It's not like the characters are hard to draw, so I'm not sure why it had to go downhill like that.
As for the sexism, I don't think it's fair to judge the whole show based on a comment by an unimportant character. Besides, girls are weaker than guys. There should be no shame in admitting that.
The problem plaguing this show switched from being gender-based to being main-triangle based. It's a common problem in stories, not only in anime, where the story will never reach its full potential because it forces itself to be seen from the eyes of the protagonist. I really wish we could've seen all the characters develop and interact, but unfortunately since Taichi has to be there to fix everyone's problems that pretty much pulls the brakes on other characters from developing or helping each other when he isn't present, and for no good reason really.

If Himeko is like the glue that keeps everyone together and keeps them in line, Iori is the rift mender who tries to keep people together when they break apart.
Or at least she tries to. So far it looks like she's probably had the least number of outbreaks this arc compared to everyone else, or at the very least highly contained.
But it's clear that the cracks have run most of it's course. Taichi's white knight facade has more or less shattered under the weight of this round's curse and really, I would have thought he would be the last one sitting in the clubroom when everyone else has forced themselves away. The last one is Iori who's just trying her very damn best to bring everyone back together.
In as much as a lot of people not liking Fujishima, for all of her annoyances, her words to Taichi ring true, and in fact it is her assessment of Taichi's doubt that encapsulates why he has so little rationale to back up his selfless bravado. Clearly it's as Fusjishima says, he doesn't really know why and what. Why is he doing this and what is important in the end for him? I don't think he's ever really stopped to take the time and ask himself why he's doing it, and what is that most important thing he's protecting in the end. As he rushed to the room I doubt he's answered that question, I would say no one IRL would in such a short amount of time, but at least he's getting an idea of what he has to do first with himself.
And really that's where it should start. How can you ever save others if you can't even save yourself?

I personally think Fujishima breaks way too much the mood with her interventions to the point it becomes a bit jarring. Sure, Kokoro Connect isn't supposed to be a full blown drama/angst series, but really, Fujishima "comic" lesbian tendencies and pushy attitude isn't exactly appealing, not in a universal sense that is. So considering people not liking Fujishima as "strange" is quite displaced.
At times, ice breaker characters can help to relieve the mood, but that's really dependant how it is played. Go wasn't pushing that point so there isn't any apparent complain about him, while I can see why people don't like the way Fujishima was used so far. I personally would have liked her role more with less silly tone.

Wrongfully arrested following the Monmouth rebellion of 1685, Peter Blood, country physician and former soldier, escapes the hangman's noose only to be exiled to the tropical colonies. Sold into slavery to a cruel plantation owner, his moral fortitude and medical ability soon earn him the favour of the island's governor and the attentions of Arabella, his master's niece. When the town is attacked by marauding Spanish buccaneers, Blood springs to the rescue, and with a motley yet loyal band of shipmate's escapes to begin a life of noble piracy and adventure on the Caribbean seas.
A classic swashbuckling tale of piracy, romance and redemption, Captain Blood stands as one the greatest adventure novels of the 20th century. Author, Rafael Sabatini (29 April 1875 – 13 February 1950) was an Italian/English author of romance and adventure novels. He was a prolific writer and produced a new book almost every year, maintaining a great deal of popularity throughout his career, but the titles that secured his reputation were Scaramouche and the Captain Blood novels. He died on 13 February 1950 in Switzerland.
"One wonders if there is another storyteller so adroit at filling his pages with intrigue and counter-intrigue, with danger threaded with romance, with a background of lavish colour, of silks and velvets, of swords and jewels" (Daily Telegraph)
"Sabatini's stories abound with drama and melodrama, action and excitement and brilliant colour, as well as minute period detail. No writer, not Scott, nor Dumas, nor Stevenson, has brought the past to life more vividly or accurately" (George Macdonald Fraser)
"Mr. Sabatini is both a wonderfully fertile creator of exciting fiction and a stylist of distinction." (Punch)

Swashbuckling at its Finest
The depth and breadth of the character. Though he's made to become a pirate, he has wonderful feelings and talents that make him a superb hero.
The trial in England is truly dramatic and heartbreaking.
Maloney's performance is key to the quality of the audiobook. He masters the accents of the Irish, English, Spanish and French characters beautifully, and his dramatic reading on the part of the villains (there are several) made the piece really work.
That's something I don't think I could do with any book.
One must always realize that a book written close to a hundred years ago, though it was enlightened for its time, still contains the prejudices endemic to the time. A warning to people who love everything politically correct.

If you're disabled you can face a lot of extra costs - like paying for a wheelchair, special food or equipment, taxis to get to hospital appointments and more.
It all adds up to life costing £550 more a month on average. This is holding people back. It has to change.
From expensive equipment to services, many disabled people are paying over the odds for essentials.
Amanda says,
"Cutlery for my son costs a fortune, for one spoon, one knife, one fork and one tea spoon it costs £31. and that was after shopping around for the cheapest set."
We've got to drive prices down and make life more affordable.
If you need a wheelchair, you need a wheelchair -- there's no way round it. Life costs you £550 more on average a month if you're disabled, but the support to cover these costs (Disability Living Allowance) is only £360 a month. People must get the support to be able to live their life.
Elane says,
"I use my DLA to meet the extra costs of food that I can't cook and to pay for using a car to get to work. I don't know how I will cope if I lose it at the introduction of PIP."
And with the change from Disability Living Allowance to the new Personal Independence Payment (PIP), the way people are assessed means more than 600,000 disabled people could lose support.

Piko brand design
A response to the competition, which, through its modern image approach, had begun to threaten this long standing bakery.
The client, Pik d.d., has been on the market for 66 years. It engages in the production and retail sale of baking and dairy products. More than 40 points of sales had been compromised by a new competitor. The image and position of the Piko brand was outdated.
We responded to the modern competitors by emphasising the strength of the bakery's tradition and long presence on the market; specifically, we used old photographic material, warm colours, wood textures, rattan and jute. Local patriotic features are clearly represented in the design.
The success of this project has proven itself through full shops and increased sales of high quality and authentic bakery products.

- Published:
- 9 September 2015
FCO Minister condemns recent PKK terrorist attacks and calls for calm following attacks on press and party offices.
Foreign Office Minister David Lidington said:
I condemn in the strongest terms the spate of recent terrorist attacks in Turkey, including the PKK attacks on Turkish security forces in Daglica and Igdir this week. My thoughts are with the families of those killed and with the people of Turkey, as they come to terms with the tragic loss of life.
The UK will continue to work with Turkey to combat terrorism. PKK violence must stop and the peace process needs to be resumed.
I also echo Turkish political leaders' calls for calm following separate attacks on press outlets and party offices.

Breathe Architecture
The Commons was the building that inspired the Nightingale Model. Designed by Breathe Architecture, The Commons was intended to be the firm's first architect-funded project. However, due to the poor economic environment of 2007, the project was ultimately taken on by ethical developer Small Giants.
Despite this, The Commons has served as a prototype for many of the ideas inherent to the Nightingale Model, from material reductionism to the social impacts of shared facilities. The Commons' unique approach has gained widespread attention, sweeping national awards and creating the foundation from which the Nightingale Model has emerged.
Breathe Architecture's second Nightingale Model development, Nightingale 1, is based on the ideas of The Commons and has incorporated lessons from The Commons to improve the building for people, communities and the environment.

Meditate on These Things
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you. Phil 4:8-9

The Management of the Costs of Crisis Management Eurozone, EU 2020 and the Future of European Integration
Although the European Union (EU) was not the main source of the global financial and economic crisis, as one of the leading economic players, it was fundamentally affected by the immediate and longer-term consequences of the crisis. Similarly, it is expected that it would play an important role in how to get out of the crisis (not yet clear, whether a passive or an active one). Almost all areas of community-level and member-state-based economic policy were affected by the crisis. Three of them have been chosen to be addressed in this paper. First, the challenge to the Eurozone and the common currency, as an immediate impact of the crisis will be dealt with. Second, as a coordinated answer to crisis management and post-crisis coordinating (and decision-making) mechanism, the idea of European Economic Governance will be analyzed. Third, in a longer-term perspective of post-crisis sustainable growth, the EU 2020 project will be shortly described and assessed.

Review Of The WLX24164GB Bosch Washing Machine
The award winning WLX24164GB Bosch Washing machine is one of the best domestic machines for couples or small families. It makes a wonderful gift for families, couples, those starting out on their own, for Christmas, anniversaries and birthdays.
About the machine
This Bosch washing machine has 15 programmes from heavy soil to delicates. The spin cycle removes a considerable amount of water at 1,200 rpm.
It fits into spaces too small for other machines with dimensions of 84.7cm high, 60cm wide and 44cm deep. It will easily handle loads up to 4.5Kg and has water consumption per load of 40 litres.
It has a class A energy rating and uses an average of 0.76Kwh per load. This translates into savings on both the electric and the water bill.
The 3D spa system allows for faster washing and rinsing. Holes in the back wall of the drum combined with special paddles and a cascade programme allow soap and rinse water to clean every piece of laundry. No more dirty socks in a load of clean clothes. The pre wash feature ensures heavily soiled laundry will be clean after the regular cycle.
Consumer reviews
Consumers report the quietness of this machine makes it a dream come true. At 58dB, it is quieter than a normal human conversation. To let you know when the load is finished, it comes with an alarm that beeps so laundry is not left to dry damp, which can result in unpleasant odours.
Numerous reviews rave about the versatility of this machine. Heavily soiled work clothes, gym kits, and other clothing are cleaned quickly and easily. Dirt appears no match for the many programmes.
Small families wash many loads of laundry, something that would wear out another machine quickly. The WLX24164GB Bosch washing machine stands up to heavy wear like a champion. Blankets, linens, curtains (with hardware removed) and pillows fit into the machine and clean thoroughly.
The economical price is another point that consumers rave about. At less than £400, competitor's machines with comparable performance cannot match the value. In terms of aesthetics, this machine actually looks more expensive than competitors' models that cost more.
Overall, consumers gave this machine a 4.7 out of a 1-5 rating. Few other machines, regardless of price are rated this highly. Not a single consumer reported dissatisfaction with their purchase.
Shopping tips
Most retailers have free local delivery. Check with different retailers to see which might have low-cost or free installation. Some will pick up the old washing machine and take it to a recycling centre. After installation, the machine is ready to use. Your regular washing powder or liquid is fine with this machine.
Related Info
In our current society the number one health problem is back pain and other back problems. Our mostly seated activity is not healthy at all. Waterbeds () can help cure back pain because they provide excellent support for the spine. Also the waterbed heating system causes the muscles to release all tension.
These Christmas gift baskets and holiday gift ideas make great presents.
Online education is also a great invention which comes with the help of information technology and online degree programs.

Marc Williams
Marc Williams was born and raised in Hartford, Connecticut. After graduating from Weaver High School, Marc attended the University of New Haven on a Football and Track scholarship. Two years later he transferred to Central Connecticut State University where he earned his Bachelors. Marc learned that being a successful individual meant following an unpopular path, however, all positive paths go in the same direction. Marc is currently employed as the Manager of Budget and Development for the Hartford Public School System.
Overall, Marc's coaching began as a volunteer in 1998 in the Mayor Mike Peter's League and that experience enlightened him how he can give back to the community. Since 1998, he has coached AAU basketball. Marc began his high school coaching career as the girl's junior varsity coach at Capital Preparatory Magnet School for 2 years before becoming the varsity coach for another 3 years.
In 2002, Marc along with three other individuals started the Connecticut Spirit Girls Basketball Organization. In addition to being one of the Directors of the program, Marc is also the treasurer for the organization and a head coach of one of the Connecticut Spirits National Teams. As a coach Marc's teams have had tremendous success on a state and national level. Marc also coached his daughter which assisted her in achieving her dream of playing Division I basketball (Indiana University).
Marc's primary goal is to assist all players in obtaining the knowledge of one's inner self through basketball, which would ultimately allow each player to develop and learn how to put forth a winning effort and gain the confidence to challenge themselves. Marc's objective while coaching is to mentor, encourage and support youth on their journey of discovery and growth, as they travel the road to adulthood by establishing two key ingredients needed for success: Self- Esteem and Self-Confidence.
Marc is dedicated to using his coaching experience and organization to be a part of that "village" needed to foster our youth. He continues to work hard to develop a "coaching" knowledge of the game. Sports have always been a part of Marc's life and has guided him to the person he is today. Athletics can help mold youth, as well as, shield them away from the negative forces that can interfere in a child's life. Marc always had love for the game of basketball. His competitive Spirit will show in practices, in games and off the court. Marc accepts the title "role model"!
"The Connecticut AAU Association awarded Marc the 2009 Volunteer of the Year"

I bought it from a golf fair at a golf clearance sales fair. Outstanding price/performance, the ball fly beautifully high with soft landing and no loss in distance . The NS Pro 955CL shaft is perfectly match with me. I can notice that this set of irons was imported from Japan to Thailand.
For the appearance, most of reviewer here said it's not a beautiful irons. To me, I like hybrid and I really feel in loves with this irons at first sight.
In Thailand, Cleveland and Srixon (I think they are brothers company) are not really famous brands but I'm using equipment from both of them (also have Srixon i-601 and Cleveland Launcher DST driver) and I think they are really good product.

She has offered to be my surrogate if we want to go that route. She has checked with her insurance and they will pay for a lot. My brother said anything that isn't covered he will take care of. This was the most heartfelt gift anyone has offered.
If someone offered that, would you take it?
Re: My SIL
We considered it. Hubby and I agreed that we would if it came to that.
Re: My SIL
That is so awesome of your SIL!
Re: My SIL
What an amazing offer! If I needed to go that route, I would love to have someone close to me do it.
If it was covered, and I could afford the IVF route today, I absolutely would but in our case we typically will need donor eggs and surro
Re: My SIL
how sweet of them <3
I don't know. I really don't know. It used to be a resounding yes when it was my bff who offered but she had to have a hysterectomy last year and now..I'm not so sure. I don't know if there is anyone else I am comfortable with allowing to do that right now. I think it's amazing, but just not something I am able to accept personally at this point.
Re: My SIL
Oh Wow! What an awesome SIL and Brother! I would defiantly take them up on their offer it comes down to that. They wouldn't have offered if they didn't think they could handle it emotionally. I would recommend some counseling first though for all of you to to make sure you've thought of everything for now and in the future.
So your Eggs and DH spermies just her uterus, right? If so - I'd do it!
I probably wouldn't be able to do it though if it was one of their spermies or eggs. Little to close for comfort for me. Use of uterus though - OH YEAH! Wait - though - you haven't exhausted all your options with your own body yet. Is there a reason why an IVF transfer to you wouldn't work? They haven't found anything wrong with your Uterus have they?
Thanks ladies, she is super amazing.
Gretchen I have not even come close to exhausting my options. Like I have said we are very close and every month I call her crying. I think she just wants to help in any way.
I won't be going with that unless we fail more IUI's and ivf attempts. We would use our eggs and swimmers. I agree too close to use theirs.
It was just a thought and made me realize how lucky I am to have someone that would put their own body through hell to make me a mom.
Re: My SIL
So even in the mist of crappy infertility and the heartbreak we go through there is still so much to be grateful for. :) Hopefully you'll never have to take her up on her offer!
Re: My SIL
I would! If it needed that.
I would have loved to have carried a loved ones baby. Chips didnt fall that way :/
Re: My SIL
That is so awesome of her to offer to do that.
Re: My SIL
That is SOOO awesome to offer! I had a friend offer to do the same. She doesn't want kids, but wants to be pregnant and experience it. However, most surrogates they usually want proven history that they can carry a pregnancy, so I'm not sure my friend would qualify. Also, like you said, you haven't exhausted your options. It may be that you can carry a pregnancy beautifully....you just need some help getting pg. Of course you want to do it yourself, but it's awesome that you have a backup to the backup plan (if IVF is your backup)!!!
Re: My SIL
That is pretty amazing. I would do it, if it had come to that.
Ironically, after my first, I thought I wouldn't mind being a surrogate for someone like my sister or SIL. Who knew infertility was in our cards instead?!
Sounds like you have an awesome support group and that is great!
Re: My SIL
That is a beautiful offer your SIL has made to you. I hope you don't need to go that far, but if you do, it sounds like you have a beautiful woman ready to help if the need is there! <3
Re: My SIL
WOW, what an incredible offer! If you decided to go that route I think your SIL would be a much better choice than anyone else....just b/c of all of the horror stories I've heard of, but I still think it would be challenging!

text: I read a lot of manga and watch quite a bit of anime I was wondering though where to start with comics?? I like a few of the established super heroes Spiderman, or Captain America or even Batman, but I am not sure where to start, I was looking for something like a collection of the early comics if that exists. This was the only forum I thought this question was appropriate in.

"No communication made about decision"
About: Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital / Ophthalmology Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital Ophthalmology NR4 7UY
Posted by Medical scientist (as ),
Patient has only one working eye. Diagnosed by optician as in imminent danger of an attack of acute "Closed Angle Glaucoma" in remaining eye. Referred to N & N Ophthalmology dept.
On being informed by patient of situation booking clerk said that no appointment would be even offered before the next year (this being early October). Clerk did not check with medical staff whether this was an urgent situation, so took a clinical decision on their unqualified self.
Patient consulted a consultant ophthalmologist privately who confirmed the danger to the remaining functioning eye and did an immediate 10-minute laser irridotomy in accordance with approved international protocol to prevent an impending attack.
It should be said that failure to treat this in less than 4 or 5 hours after the start of an attack results in loss of vision. Imagine if the attack occurred on a Saturday evening, the chances of getting through the A & E queue to an ophthalmologist in time are negligible.

LEVERETT'S CHAPEL/RUSK COUNTY (KYTX) - There are about a dozen schools here in East Texas who were identified Monday by the attorney general's office for not having reported their school safety audits.
But the superintendents we spoke to at at least three of those districts say they do have a crisis management system in place, and they're working to improve their policies.
On Monday, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott identified 78 school districts that had not reported their safety plans and updates to the Texas School Safety Center in Austin.
Maureen Laramore has a six-year-old at Leverett's Chapel, one of about a dozen East Texas school districts identified by the attorney general.
"It does got me concerned sometimes after what happened in Newtown, but I think Leverett's Chapel is pretty safe for my kid," Laramore said.
State law requires school districts and community colleges to train employees and students on how to respond to emergencies.
Administrators at Leverett's Chapel, Union Hill and Laneville schools say they've done that.
They also say they lock their doors during school hours and have one access point -- and visitors sign in and out.
"Even though that was mentioned on the news, our superintendent neglected to submit that in, but we do have a security plan in place," LCISD Elementary and Junior High Principal Josh Johnson said.
The superintendents we talked to both here at Leverett's Chapel and at other districts say they've been on the phone this morning with members of the attorney general's office trying to get this squared away. Each of them say they have a safety audit in place. It's just a matter of the reporting.
"We are confident as a school district that, with a plan in place, that we can handle anything that may arise," Johnson said.
The superintendent at Leverett's Chapel said Monday's announcement from the AG's office makes her school district vulnerable.
A spokesman for the AG's office said the real vulnerability comes when schools are not prepared for crises... And that not reporting safety audits is not an option.

Well hello! With Labor Day this weekend — marking the social end of summer — and the autumnal equinox a few weeks away — marking the celestial end of summer — we must have crossed into September, affording me another opportunity to take stock of my long-term goals of paying off debt and saving for retirement.
At the start of August, I found myself breathtakingly close to a net worth of zero — just $5,000 away after starting this blog with a negative net worth over $150,000 — and set the audacious goal of getting all the way home in one month.
I had put myself in a great position to hit zero this early after some very aggressive debt pay down and a whole lot of help from my investment portfolio. Would the same factors take me home to zero in August?! Let's find out.
The numbers
Not this time.
My retirement portfolio fell by a spectacular 5 percent. Of course, I fought back as best as I could by paying off thousands in debt and making thousands in new contributions to my retirement accounts, but alas, it was nowhere near enough and, for the first time since I started this blog, I ended a month with a lower net worth than I started it.
And thus, my net worth goal for the year remains to hit zero by the end of it:
Lessons learned
The smart thing to do after any bad month would be to figure out how to prevent future bad months.
I hold a very aggressive mix of securities that are 90 percent stocks and 10 percent fixed income and I'm supremely diversified by owning index funds that cover the whole of the U.S. market and some of the bigger markets around the world. The price for this diversification is next to nothing the Fidelity, Vanguard, and TSP mutual funds I hold have expense ratios around one-tenth of 1 percent.
Moreover, while totally unwelcome, big hits to my portfolio aren't at all unexpected. Investing for the long term by having an aggressive but age-appropriate allocation means I'll have some down months — and likely even some down years — but should still come out on top when I'm of retirement age.
All of this is to say that although I'll still take a renewed look at my retirement portfolio this month — it would be silly not to — I don't think it necessarily needs much fixing or that last month's bloodbath is even indicative of a problem.
I'm sure if I repeat that enough times I'll start to feel OK about all that notional money that flew out the window in August :/

Book Review: Infiltrator by Peter R. Stone
Book Description:
For eighteen-year-old Ethan Jones, Nanako, and the surviving members of his foraging team, the trip back to Newhome is a nightmarish journey fraught with danger. When they do get back to Newhome, Nanako's dreams of a normal life are shattered when Ethan's jilted ex-fiancé makes it her personal goal to turn Nanako's life into a living hell. And as if that isn't enough, she and Ethan fall afoul of a senior officer of the town's draconian Custodian police force. To complicate matters, more memory fragments from Ethan's missing year surface, bewildering him with their horrific implications – what exactly did he get up to with the Hamamachi Rangers two years ago? Did they – did he – really commit such heinous crimes? Furthermore, a Hamamachi Ranger who used to have the hots for Ethan stumps him when she asks if Nanako has told him the dreadful things that happened to her after she was dumped back in Hamamachi two years ago. What are these disturbing secrets from her past that Nanako is hiding from him? Against this backdrop of personal anguish, the Hamamachi Rangers and ferocious Skel, dead set upon revenge, unleash their diabolical plan against Newhome. But how far will they go in their quest for vengeance? Can the Custodians stop them, or should Ethan risk his life again by stepping up to help save the town, going against Nanako and her insistence that he stay away from combat because she can't bear the thought of losing him.
Infilitrator is another page turner filled with action, suspense, a little romance, and even an air of mystery. Peter Stone is a natural storyteller, placing the reader right in the middle of action. I admitted in the first book in the series, Forager, that dystopian novels are usually over my head and I'm intimidated by them. That's not the case with this series or Infiltrator.
Ethan's still fighting amnesia, a year missing from memory, but slowly the memories are coming back. While they do, he's fighting to save Newhome. When it would appear he could have a moment's peace, even time with family brings stress. Nanako has secrets Ethan discovers. The threat of death either from the dreadful Skel or within ranks is always there.
This was an engaging read full of entertainment. I definitely recommend checking out Infiltrator.

Book Review: Forager by Peter R. Stone
Book Description
Eighteen-year-old Ethan Jones lives in Newhome, a town built upon the decaying ruins of post-apocalyptic Melbourne, ruins haunted by the ferocious Skel, a nomadic tribe of degenerate savages.
The Skel are ramping up their attacks on Newhome's foraging teams and infesting Melbourne's ruins in ever greater numbers. Is this part of a larger plan that could spell the town's doom?
Meanwhile, the last thing Ethan expects when he and his companions rescue a two-car convoy from the Skel is a Japanese teenage girl with an outlandish dress-sense, who after they take her back to Newhome, goes to great lengths to ingratiate herself into his life. But is it in gratitude for saving her life or is she seeking something more?
And what a quandry she places him in, for he knows the rules, that no man is permitted to be alone with an unmarried woman. But how can he drive such a gentle soul away when she touches his heart so deeply, even though she clearly carries the pain of a broken heart.
At the same time, Newhome's police force, the Custodians, are suspicious of Ethan's foraging team's successes and are pulling out the stops to find out which member of his team has the illegal mutant ability that gives them an edge over the other teams. Should these peacekeepers discover Ethan is the mutant they seek, they will haul him away and dissect him like a frog.
This is a Dystopian novel in the tradition of The Hunger Games and Forager is a great page turner full of action and impending doom. This isn't my strongest genre but Peter Stone does a great job explaining the characters, setting, time period and conflict so someone like me not only understands, but wants to keep reading.
Ethan is a strong older teen character with a lot of war wounds and struggles. He has a secret he needs to keep as well as secrets regarding him that keep coming out. He's watching out for the Skel, and for the King family, especially the snooty daughter his father wants him to marry. There's so much more to share, but I don't want to spoil it. But the chemistry between Ethan and the Japanese teen has purpose, and I was blown away by their story.
To see for yourself, I encourage you to purchase Forager today. Click here to purchase.

The Great Escape
Monday, October 22, 2007
As Neil Rackers lined up for a game-winning field goal attempt yesterday, the prevailing thought of some of the Washington Redskins was not whether Arizona's place kicker would succeed, but how this circumstance had even come to be. Another second-half lead had wilted, with Washington's offense undermining another strong defensive effort, and three hours of work was reduced to the trajectory of Rackers's 55-yard kick with seven seconds left.
It sailed slightly wide of the left upright, and the Redskins survived the Cardinals' wild fourth-quarter pursuit, 21-19, at FedEx Field, despite giving up 13 unanswered points. Still, the team is 4-2, a mark that inspired joy in Coach Joe Gibbs after a game that mystified others.
"I enjoy every single win, I don't really care how it comes or how we get it," Gibbs said. "I am thrilled with this one."
The imbalance between Washington's defense and offense has been startling for much of Gibbs's second stint as Redskins coach, perhaps never more so than yesterday. The defense essentially created almost every scoring opportunity against Arizona (3-4) -- stuffing the Cardinals for three quarters, setting up the first touchdown with a long interception return and then giving Washington a 14-0 lead on linebacker London Fletcher's 27-yard interception return for a touchdown. The offense botched numerous opportunities (Rock Cartwright's 80-yard kick return was for naught after a missed field goal) and staggered with three starting linemen (center Casey Rabach, guard Randy Thomas and tackle Jon Jansen) injured.
The Redskins were outgained 364 net yards to 160; quarterback Jason Campbell managed just 95 yards passing and former Pro Bowl tailback Clinton Portis continued to sputter (43 yards on 18 attempts). Washington's running game averaged only 2.6 yards per carry; the Redskins have averaged 3.3 yards per carry the past five games. Thus a 21-6 third-quarter lead nearly evaporated, eliciting flashbacks to recent losses to the New York Giants and Green Bay.
"We've got to learn to keep going after we get ahead," defensive end Phillip Daniels said. "I'm happy for the win, but I'm not happy with the way we finished."
Washington produced a total of 82 net yards in the first half, while the defense amassed 75 yards on interception returns alone. Safety Sean Taylor -- who has interceptions in four straight games and five this season -- set up the first score by collecting another while nestled in Washington's deep zone defense.
The Redskins took over at the Arizona 25 and Portis scored on a two-yard run. The drive was prolonged by a third-down personal foul by the Cardinals. Warner, playing with a bulky brace after tearing ligaments in his non-throwing elbow last week, was intercepted again midway through the second quarter. "I basically spotted them 14 points," the former NFL MVP said.
Gregg Williams, Washington's assistant head coach-defense, shunned the blitz for a third straight game, and on a second-and-long play in the second quarter rushed just three linemen, dropping end Demetric Evans and linebackers into coverage. Fletcher rumbled for the score, with Evans and cornerback Shawn Springs blocking Warner near the pylon.
"It was a good call, because I dropped right in the middle of the zone where Warner was trying to get the ball to [wide receiver Anquan] Boldin," Evans said. "He overthrew the ball and London caught the pick and I just escorted him to the end zone."
Fletcher and Springs made excellent tackles in succession on third and fourth down on Arizona's next drive to force a change of possession, but the offense again failed to capitalize. Campbell's pass was tipped and intercepted to open the ensuing drive; Arizona took over at the Washington 23. Warner found Boldin in the back of the end zone on fourth down from the 2-yard line, but the snap on the extra point was botched and defensive tackle Kedric Golston blocked it, making the score 14-6 at the half.
The Redskins scored late in the third quarter on a 59-yard march, the only significant drive by the offense, again with Portis navigating across the goal line from the 1. They had as many first downs on that drive -- five -- as they did in the rest of the game combined. None of Washington's other second-half drives took more than 2 minutes 28 seconds, or lasted more than four plays. The Redskins had three three-and-outs in the fourth quarter, gaining 17 total yards.
"Our defense is always going to give us a chance," Portis said. "But as an offense we have to go out and put up points."
After Portis's second touchdown, 20:47 remained; the Cardinals held the ball for 15:42 of that span and had 191 net yards in the fourth quarter.
The Redskins had them stopped twice on third down on the ensuing drive after going up by 15 points, but on the first play rookie safety LaRon Landry was penalized 15 yards for a late hit on an incomplete pass, which he disputed. "I thought [wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald] caught the ball, and I was just trying to tag him out," Landry said.
Fletcher made another crushing tackle to stall the drive outside the 20-yard line, but was penalized for taunting Arizona's sideline after the play. Fletcher said he was intending the antics only for the fans. "It shouldn't have been a penalty," Fletcher said.
Warner found Boldin deep in the end zone on third down from the 10 on another improvised play to complete the drive, then utilized a bevy of screens and short passes to move 70 yards on eight plays, with backup quarterback Tim Rattay tossing a one-yard pass to Leonard Pope to make it 21-19.
Ken Whisenhunt, a former Redskin who is the Cardinals' coach, called a direct snap to Boldin for the two-point conversion. As he rolled closer to the right sideline, Landry knew Boldin "had nowhere to go, he was going to throw the ball back," he said, and when the pass came Landry caught it. Undaunted, the Cardinals recovered an onside kick with 20 seconds to play and moved 22 yards to set up Rackers, whose kick set sail for the center of the goal post, then curled wide of the upright.

Why the Park is Special
The uniqueness of Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore is the result of natural processes that are not duplicated on this scale anywhere else on earth. Nowhere else is there a 300 mile long lake taking glacial sand from its east and west sides, then depositing that sand in 250 foot high dunes under the power of strong north winds and waves rivaling the ocean. The resulting environment is a unique series of long dunes separated by marshes.
This environment has attracted plants and animals into the dunes. With all this water and wild area, migratory birds funnel their migrations into these wetlands, and the dunes also harbors some species of plants not found anywhere else on earth.
1) Remarkable Species Diversity
Factors that include geological processes, climate, weather, and the geographical position of Lake Michigan came together at Indiana Dunes to create remarkable species diversity within a variety of ecosystems, providing outstanding opportunities to appreciate the rich ecological relationships that nurture and sustain our civilization.
2) Legacy of Scientific Inquiry
Beginning a legacy of scientific inquiry and education that continues today, Henry Cowles, a botanist from the University of Chicago, published an article entitled "Ecological Relations of the Vegetation on Sand Dunes of Lake Michigan" in the Botanical Gazette in 1899 that brought international attention to and inspired the efforts to preserve the intricate ecosystems existing on the dunes. Such research at Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore is increasingly vital, helping us address current threats to our world that include human impact both locally and globally.
3) Land Use Strategies Over 10,000 Years
The cultural resources of Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore demonstrate a wide range of land use strategies over more than 10,000 years, revealing the dynamic relationship between humans and the environment and our changing perceptions of the value of natural environments, and guiding us to decisions that are vital to our survival.
4) Natural Setting for Millions of People
Situated close to one of America's largest metropolitan areas, Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore provides a natural setting for millions of people to experience scenic beauty, the wonders of nature, artistic inspiration, and recreational opportunities, reminding us of the costs and benefits of urbanization and industry, and of our need as humans to seek renewal of body, mind, and soul.
5) Reflects National Struggle to Balance Urbanization, Industry, and Conservation
Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, the scene of intensive public interest and passion regarding its preservation for over 100 years, demonstrates the national struggle between the needs of urbanization, industry, and conservation; reflects the historical national and state park preservation movements; and serves as both model and "cautionary tale" in the fields of resource acquisition, preservation, and restoration.

text: I didn't think it was that bad in Ankeny. I can understand schools north and east of here cancelling, but we didn't get any snow and the wind died down considerably before dawn. I know Des Moines had the sense not to delay or cancel, but what's with all the suburbs delaying? Is this a new fad? Is there not a way to treat school buses to help them run better in cold temps, or was that part of budget cuts?
