"What do you mean I can't marry Bill?" Sookie asked as they sped along the highway.
Lafayette took a deep breath and the pulled over to the side of the road. They were fairly effectively in the middle of nowhere. Only the occasional car was passing them by, but Sookie had her shields down just in case. Lafayette put the old Suburban in park and turned on his hazard lights before shifting in his seat to look in her direction.
"Can I talk to her, Lafayette?" Sookie asked, figuring it was worth a shot.
For the last five years or so Sookie, along with the rest of her family, had assumed Hadley was dead. The last anyone heard from her was when she had called Gran, begging for money so she could get into rehab. Gran sent the money via Western Union and that was it. There was no thank you call, no follow up information telling anyone what rehab she had checked herself into.
No one said it out loud but she knew exactly what they thought. Gran felt guilty for giving Hadley the money that could have paid for her last fix, the death blow, so to speak. Jason was a little angry at Gran for giving money to a junkie, but kept his opinion to himself since he knew Gran felt badly enough about the decision. There was the chance that Hadley really did want to get better, and Gran wouldn't have been able to live with herself if she didn't do what she could to help her grandchild.
Sookie didn't know quite what to think, although she had been plenty angry at Hadley for disappearing like she had in the first place. They were like sisters growing up and then one day Hadley just left town. There was no warning, no note left behind telling anyone where she was going or when she would be back; she just disappeared. It was months before anyone heard from her. Every now and then people around town would claim to have spotted Hadley somewhere, but when they saw how painful it was for Gran to hear those sorts of things, they stopped sharing their stories.
It had been years since Sookie heard anyone even think of Hadley. To know now that she really was dead wasn't a terrible shock to the system, but it hurt all the same. There had been a part of Sookie that had assumed Hadley would show up unannounced one day, looking for a handout or a place to stay. Mostly, Sookie just wanted her cousin to be alive because her family was getting smaller and smaller.
"If we was someplace safer I'd try channelin' her for you, but it ain't a good idea behind the wheel of a car. That's how come I got that curtain up in my mind. Let's the spirits know I ain't open for business," he explained.
"So what did Hadley say, exactly?" Sookie asked nervously.
"She told me that after Katrina she got taken in by a vampire named Sophie-Anne LeClerq. That mean anything to you?" Lafayette asked, and Sookie mulled it over.
"No, I don't think so," she said.
"She's the vampire Queen of Louisiana, and she's down in New Orleans," Lafayette said. Sookie nodded and he continued, "Hadley needed a place to go and Sophie-Anne got a taste of something she liked. Hadley quickly became Sophie-Anne's favorite pet, and moved into the Queen's compound down there. Now there's two things you need to know that are extremely important and this is where I need you to trust me."
"Okay," Sookie nodded.
"The first is that you ain't all human," Lafayette said and Sookie looked at him like he was crazy. "I know, I know, you think my cheese done slid off my cracker, but Sook, I'm tellin' you the truth. Hadley said something about a box of letters up in your attic that she came across when you was kids. They're letters to Gran from a man named Fintan. Fintan is your real grandfather and he was a fairy."
"Nuh uh!" Sookie said, immediately jumping to Gran's defense. "Gran would never in a million years cheat on my Grandpa Earl! Hadley doesn't know what she's talkin' about!"
"Baby girl, just go home and look for the letters. Hadley says they're still in the same old footlocker they were when she found them years ago. She never told your Gran she found them, so as far as Gran knew, her secret was safe," Lafayette explained.
Sookie shook her head fiercely, unwilling to accept that Gran would do such a thing. Gran had always preached the importance of being faithful in a relationship, especially in a marriage. Gran was a lot of things but a hypocrite wasn't one of them, and Sookie refused to believe that Gran would have not only cheated with another man, but bore his children as well. It just wasn't possible.
"So what's the second thing?" Sookie asked bitterly.
Lafayette gave a heavy sigh and said, "This one you're gonna want to brace yourself for."
"You just told me my Gran cheated on my Grandpa? How much worse can it get?" Sookie glared at him.
"Hadley told me that while she was living in the compound Bill was there to. His official title in the Queen's court was a 'procurer,'" Lafayette shifted again in his seat. "You know what that means?"
"I know what it means to procure something," Sookie said in a feisty, annoyed tone.
"Well, once the Queen found out that there was fairy in your lineage, she decided to send Bill up to see if he could lure you down to New Orleans. She told him to use whatever measures were necessary in order to secure you," Lafayette said as gently as he could.
Sookie's stomach dropped.
"Bill was sent here specifically to get you under control for the purposes of turning you over to the Queen, Sook. Hadley said that Bill isn't to be trusted, and that if given the chance Sophie-Anne will turn you without thinking twice," Lafayette said.
"How did Hadley die?" Sookie asked since her mind was still reeling from the news that Bill's reasons for coming back to town were all lies.
"Hadley said that the Queen has a menagerie of interesting pets and supernatural beings milling around the compound at all times. She wanted Hadley because of the fairy in her blood, but Hadley didn't have any of the power that most fairies have. Apparently the Queen has been researching fairies for quite some time, and because you're a telepath, she believes that you have whatever magic the fairies have. She wanted Bill to get control of you so that she could someday harness that power for her own. When the Queen discovered that Hadley didn't have those powers, she killed her," Lafayette recited as if he'd read it from a script.
This was too much. First Hadley was dead, then Gran was a cheater and now Bill… Sookie's stomach turned and she quickly unbuckled her seat belt, opened the door of the car and leaned outside to throw up. She wanted to give Bill a chance to explain his side of the story, but in her heart she already knew that Lafayette was telling the truth. There had been too many moments where Sookie's instincts told her to run in the other direction.
More than once she had suspected that something wasn't quite right with Bill. He had lied to her on several occasions, even after promising her that he wouldn't. He hadn't come for her in Dallas when she needed him and he hadn't been entirely truthful with her about what vampire blood could…
"Oh my God," Sookie covered her mouth and her stomach turned again.
"Sook, I'm sorry to be the one to have to tell you all of this," Lafayette leaned over and opened the glove box to reveal a small pile of napkins, all of which he handed to Sookie.
She wiped her mouth and then the tears that were falling down her cheeks. Her head was swimming with a million thoughts and she had no idea where to go, or what to do. How could she confront Bill with this information? She needed something more concrete, more solid, and she was going to need protection when she did it because she was sure that if Bill was capable of lying to her like he had been, then he would stop at nothing to fulfill his promise to his Queen.
"Laf, can you take me to Shreveport?" Sookie asked once she got herself calmed down.
"What about your car?" he raised an eyebrow.
"It's best if it stays there. For all Bill will know I went over to Sam's for a drink or to talk, and I ended up fallin' asleep there. Right now I don't really care what Bill thinks. I need answers, and I need them from a vampire," Sookie sighed, hating the fact that she was going to have to go to the one vampire she didn't think she would ever be able to trust.
"Who you goin' to see?" Lafayette asked as he put the Suburban back in gear and pulled onto the highway.
"Who else? Eric Northman," Sookie said bitterly and stared out the window.

We stayed a weekend after Labor Day so we weren't there in the height of tourist season. The room was very clean the whole weekend we stayed there. The maids do a FANTASTIC job. The rooms are older and definitely need updating. For as much money as this place rakes in during the summer I can't believe they haven't updated yet. There are two styles of rooms I saw- the two-full-size-bed rooms with little else and the suite-style (they have kitchenette). The suite styles definitely feel newer and have more space. The room we had with the two full size beds was definitely not big enough for 4 adults. The beds were tiny (seemed smaller than a typical full size) and were SUPER SQUEAKY. My god I have NEVER heard beds squeak so much. EVERY time someone rolled over during the night the squeaking was so loud it woke EVERYONE up in the room. These rooms also have the toilet and shower in a- well, what should have been the closet probably. Tiniest shower/toilet room, not a lot of room to move around in and I hate when the shower curtain touches me while in the shower. Yick. Needs more space!
They are in a good location- few blocks from the beach and in the heart of all the quirky local shops. The staff were very friendly. I would only want to stay here again if I were in one of the suites, but I don't know the squeak status of those beds. The super squeaky beds is enough for me to not return as I highly value my sleep.
***Also, only 1 parking spot per room. If you are traveling with other people you should probably car pool. We went in the off season so we could find additional free parking a few blocks into the near by neighborhood. During peak season though you aren't allowed to park in the neighborhood without a permit and all the other close by parking is metered. Wish the hotel could come up with some additional parking near by for guests with more than 1 car.

Did you hear the one about the Polish newspaper that accidentally published a picture of a parody mascot that likes sex with children called "Pedobear" in their newspaper because they didn't understand how Google Images works?
Well, not to ruin the amusing and slightly disturbing quip – but the punch line ends with a small international controversy and a wacky Canadian artist becoming one of the first non-Chris Hansen people on earth to make a lucrative career out of pedophilia.
The whole thing started when The Gazeta Olsztynska (my third favorite Polish newspaper) was doing a story on the Vancouver Winter Olympic Games and began searching for images of the various furry mascots associated with the upcoming affair.
Ever the diligent fact checkers that they are in a country known for sausage and Krzysztof Oliwa, the Polish journalists grabbed any image that looked cuddly and had the headline "Vancouver Olympics" that they could find.
Only problem was, the image of "Pedobear" came up because it was a "Vancouver Olympics" parody mascot - and yes, they printed it.
Since the incident, the picture's artist, Michael Barrick, has seen massive amounts of traffic on his website and has big plans for the possible increased revenue from his protest art. "Yesterday alone I got 120,000 (with about one third coming from Poland) and today is looking like it will top that by at least double," he told a British newspaper. "Maybe I'll just keep the money to help cover the price gouging, raised taxes, disappearing arts funding, and all the other 'benefits' we Vancouverites are getting from the games that are kicking me in the back pocket."
Minus the whole "animals having sex with children thing," this guy seems like he's got a pretty good head on his shoulders. Score another victory for the apparently kind of friendly, and overtly witty Canadians.

On Kimmel Live the other night, Obama had a chance to talk about his view of Trump in this election. Here are some of his quotes from that show. And My responses.
"There's something qualitatively different about the way Trump has operated in the political sphere."'
Definition of qualitative: of or relating to the standard of something as measured against other things of a similar kind
–Yep… Trump is qualitatively different because in this election and the elections Obama ran in, he is definitely different from the usual forked tongue politician; except, he has stated categorically he is not, nor ever wanted to be, a politician. He has however run in the big league monied circles for his life and has generally been accepted unlike Obama.
"I ran against McCain, against Romney. I thought I could do a better job, but they're both honorable men. And if they won, I wouldn't worry about generally the course of the country."
I wouldn't open that can of worms comparison between Trump and Obama, unless Obama is ready to show all those emails between he and Hillary on her private server right now. By the way Obama, wonder how many of Your emails will find their way into the archives or strangely be lossed or closed to public view?
I guess they would be much more honorable than Obama but their own backgrounds are not spotless by any means. However, the question is "Why are you worried?" The position is no longer yours after January 20 and someone else will be making decisions and taking the heat of the office. Why would you care? One would think you would be ready if not eager to drop the mantle and run out of the house slaves built.
The candidate you are backing is one that you slammed repeatedly during your own election runs. She is a liar, cheat, and criminal having broken even your own executive orders. Does that mean YOU are comparing yourself as qualitatively equal to her? If so, I pray we find those missing pieces of the puzzle so all of you go down!
"What we haven't seen before is somebody questioning the integrity of elections and will of the people. We haven't seen before is a politics of putting down in very explicit terms of Muslim Americans who are patriots or describing women in in terms of intellect or character but on 1-10 score." "Regardless of what your political preferences or policy preferences, there is a certain responsibility of how you conduct yourself. It doesn't mean you're perfect."
Pffft not if YOU are the example in the mirror!
Calls Hillary and Bill Clinton liars concerning words and actions.
Rigged Elections are happening,
"I make the effort to as best I could be honest to American people to make sure that I was protective of the institutions. There were certain norms, standards, values, and customs that make it work."
"If you are willing to say anything, do anything even when it undermines everything that has been built by previous generations, that's a problem."
BUSTED. There is a LOT more that could be dragged up but those will do for now.
I may not like or trust Trump fully as an individual but I WILL vote for him over Hillary or a third term of globalization of our country by rubes like you. He is a heck of a sight higher on the ladder of success than a liar who smiles on camera and says one thing while doing another. Or goes outside of our country like Obama has done numerous times to deliberately smear our citizens to the rest of the world. YOUR WORDS INDICT YOU.

Veldig, veldig bra.
Dette er virkelig god hjelp og jeg håper du (og andre) har lyst til å fortsette. Jeg tar meg en sykkeltur på lørdag og samler inn veinavn + sjekker opp byggeområdet. Tror det til og med er en hel skole og barnehage der det kun vises skog på Bing-bildene.
Sørlandsparken og Justvik er områder med gode bilder som bare mangler veier. Spesielt er jo Sørlandsparken et høytrafikkområde.
Knall dersom noen kan gjøre disse :)

Oh, and BTW: I didn't know OsmAnd actually uses website=* or phone=*. That's really handy. Thanks for the tip. Do you know of more apps or websites who make use of this data?
|Kvadraturen mapped for driving and tourists

Haha. That almost sounds like some kind of joke from a Simpsons-cartoon. The mayor: "We declare today: 'One-way street day'! Let all roads lead to Springfield. We will all become rich!"
|Foursquare-like service launched in Belgium

Hmm... what would be a good, game-like incentive-based mechanism to ensure quality data?
Some kind of competition where your POI description, such as its name, has to match at least 1 of the other submitters POI name to be considered good quality.
Maybe the same mechanism for POI position where you would get the most points if your POI was recorded at closest to the mean position of all POIs with the same name.
Y'know: "Best POI pin-point accuracy Achievement" or "Spell-streak! 5 correctly spelled POIs in a row".

@joakimfors: Right. I've seen the the disjointed roads at the edge where the two imagery qualities meet. I havn't done any adjustments yet, though. In old Potlatch, there was an option for moving the background image, do anyone know if this is available in Potlatch 2? If not, I'll just try to do this in JOSM instead.
|Almost all roads in Vågsbygd...named
|over 5 years ago
@Xapitoun: Well, I'm actually a completionist too, and I do really agree that we need to map all roads, both in cities and in the countryside.
As an example, during our vacation there were a couple of occations where we strayed from the path into unmapped territory in some of the cities. Since the GPS arrow still snaps to the nearest road, it took a little while for us to first figure out that we were actually not on a mapped road and then after that wind our way back on to the good path.
BTW: The iPad has a very poor GPS receiver. It's good enough for navigation but for tracking, the points might end up even 120 meters from the real position. (I normally use my HTC Desire but it does not want to talk to the SD card at the moment) Anyone got similar experiences?
|Vågsbygd has never looked better :)
|over 5 years ago
Yeah. Kristiansand was mostly red spaghetti, there. I havn't looked at the map calibration but once I get my HTC Desire GPS working again, I'll double check. Thanks for the suggested offset values, are those in meters?
|Remapping Kristiansand
|over 5 years ago
I can confirm that all mapping of current and future main road construction is correct in Vågsbygd. In Hannevika, things seem 99% correct and I'll visually confirm it the next time I'm passing by.
I put all planned tunnels on level -1 and -2 and corrected a few bridges to +2 to clean up. The latter is very hard to spot from the air.
|Remapping Kristiansand
|over 5 years ago
Kool! I did notice that all almost all the roads in Vågsbygd were added back within this evening. That was fast. Thanks!
None of the roads are named yet so I'll go for a nice, long bicycle trip on Friday evening with a freshly printed map and take note of all residential road names around Vågsbygd. Expect log and map updates by Saturday or Sunday.
I'll consider doing the same for other areas of Kristiansand too, unless there are other sources for names.
(Yes, I'm just looking for any excuse to work out :) )
|Remapping Kristiansand
|over 5 years ago
@Sanerd17: Looks very cool. This is exactly the level of mapping detail I'd learned to appreciate approx 30 mins after arriving to the hotel when I'm feeling a bit peckish and start wondering where we'd go for dinner. Excellent for travelling by foot :)
|Remapping Kristiansand
|over 5 years ago
@Skippern: Yeah. The oh-so-pretty "Budget Hotel", right next to the train station. It's been there for at least 10+ years so they must make some kind of profit. There are a number of alternatives, although I've never been to any of them as I'm a Kristiansand resident.
But yes, I'll definitely place emphasis on hotels, hostels and guest houses. We normally made use of some kind of site like booking.com for finding and booking the rooms ahead of travelling to the next town to make sure we found good deals. After that we would have to eyeball the Google map on the site and manually find the same spot on the GPS map since the hotel name would not be searchable in the GPS app. Adding the hotel names to the right coordinates would at least make finding them a little bit easier.
I can imagine lots of people will just head to the next town and then locate any nearby hostel.

"When you're on the job cutting laterals, every gain in productivity means more money to the bottom line," says Sean Lemcke, Product Line Manager with Pipeline Renewal Technologies. "Micro Premium™ takes productivity to a whole new level with its increased power and intuitive interface."
Using remote-inflated air bladders, the arm of the new Micro Premium™ lateral cutter positions itself remotely by creeping and climbing, clamps itself for precise cutting in vertical or horizontal orientation and feeds the cutting head a full four inches. Just 72mm in diameter, the arm fits through small openings, and its agile articulation (400-degree rotation and 90-degree swivel) facilitates precision cutting as well as maneuvering through 90-degree bends in four-inch lines. Detachable operator controls consist of twin joysticks, a touch-screen control interface, full QWERTY keyboard, and a 10-inch video display.
The Micro Premium™ lateral cutter employs a powerful air motor to make cuts as far as 100 feet inside pipes three to six inches (or up to 10 inches as an option). An illuminated camera with digital monitor/recorder and combined water/air cleaning presents real-time cutting footage and a pressure alarm warns against water ingress. Designed for productivity, the entire system travels on a compact wheeled chassis, accepts various interchangeable cutting heads, and can be field-maintained with operator-replaceable parts.

Tall, dark and intense, Detective Jason de Sanges excites all kinds of fantasies in Poppy Calloway. But when she suggests the three teens caught spray-painting a Seattle neighborhood be given art-related community service and he just wants to see them payall bets are off.
With the men in his family always in and out of the slammer, Jase was raised in foster care. He knows what it takes to walk the line. And his number one self-imposed rule? Avoid his hunger for sexy, irresistible Poppy, who challenges him on everything. But it's a vow that's getting harder and harder to keep.
Anderson (Cutting Loose) creates a sexy, feel-good contemporary romance starring down-to-earth Seattle artist Poppy Calloway and handsome but rigid police detective Jason de Sanges. When three teenagers are caught defacing some neighborhood stores, Poppy suggests they clean up their mess and replace it with a mural. Jase, vexed by beautiful and unpretentious Poppy, scoffs at the mural idea, but his higherups agree to it and put him in charge of the teens. Poppy and Jase have met previously and seem perpetually at odds, but they can't deny sharing a visceral and intense chemistry. After some suspicious accidents, Jase leaps to protect the woman he once dismissed as "a damn bleeding-heart liberal." Palpable escalating sexual tension between the pair, a dangerous criminal on the loose and a cast of well-developed secondary characters make this a winner.

Shortage in Skills creates a Higher Demand for Engineers
Published: 03 Dec 2013
A serious shortage of engineers has been felt in the UK for the past couple of years. Recently, a government-commissioned review chaired by Professor John Perkins, Chief Scientific Adviser to Department for Business Innovation and Skills (BIS) brought to light a serious gap in capability skillsets in this area of work.
Some specific areas of the industry have evident shortages and as the economy changes, there will be greater demand for professionals to work in this field. Currently, the UK is heavily dependent on migration for engineering skills; about a fifth of the workforce in the resources, electronic, computer and optical engineering industries are imported from other countries.
Where do we stand at the moment?
Even though the migration of skills is an option that's working at the moment, it cannot be adopted as a long term solution. The government is trying its best to encourage youngsters to take up engineering as a career. At present, the UK produces 90,000 science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) students per year, which also includes international students. To keep up with the growing demand in the technology sector, the industry needs 830,000 new science, engineering and technology (SET) professionals and 450,000 SET technicians between now and 2020. Purely from a statistics point of view, it's clear how wide the gap really is in this sector.
Sir John Parker, President of the Royal Academy of Engineering commented: "we need an increase in number of STEM graduates over the next 10 years." An early intervention from the government will help in improving the current situation. The sooner the future educational needs are defined, the quicker a plan can be devised to rebalance the economy.
It has also been highlighted that females are seriously under-represented in this field. The ratio of women in engineering compared to their male counterparts is 1:10. The UK has the lowest proportion of women engineers in the EU. To bring a change to these figures, perceptions will have to be changed. There are many gender stereotypes associated with engineering. Professor Perkins believes that giving career advice to school students and encouraging female students to take up maths and science in their A-levels can help dissipate some of these mistaken points of views.
Government incentives
Bold efforts are being made to encourage the supply of engineering skills. From January this year, a budget of £30 million was assigned to promote training schemes to address specific engineering skills shortages. So far, more than £4 billion has been committed in dedicated fields of the industry including skills, technology and finance.
Professor Perkins, Adviser to BIS also said in his statement that youngsters in the UK should be supported while competing for highly-paid skilled engineering jobs; it will be a step forward in improving their career prospects and thereby reducing the need to hire engineers from outside the UK.
Looking towards the future
Manufacturing and telecommunications industries are expected to grow rapidly in this decade; a major emphasis is being laid on developing skills and a professional workforce to cope with this demand. The imminent expansion in this sector brings good tidings for engineers; they can expect career progressions and well-paid salaries along with opportunities of international exposure. The UK is paving the way for the next generation of engineers and the future is looking bright.
Search and apply for the latest engineering jobs across all industries!


text: Might as well start one as well. Heres my story. training since 21, im 27 now. I took a year off from April 2004 to May 2005. Weight in May was 225. Needed to cut. Ill put the pics in my log so you fags can cut me up again. I really enjoy that, gives me motivation to get better. Anyhow, a few measurements from May were. Height 6' Weight 225 BF over 20%. Arms prolly 16" Waist 36" Dunno the rest.. I stopped here, and said it was time to get back in the gym. When I stopped before, I was 248 lb, at 13%, 19" arms, 34" waist. So, a month later roughly, i was at 230 lbs, BF prolly 16% Arms 17.5" (muscle memory rocks) down an inch on the waist line. Diet is very very clean. During my off time, I ate lots of protien, but didnt watch the rest of my diet at all. Typical day looks like this. 7:00 am - Protien Shake 10:00 am - 4 eggs, oatmeal. noon - Serving of chicken, with a clean carb. (oatmeal, an egg, or a small salad from home) 3:00 pm - carb up. Oatmeal, and a protien shake, or eggs. 6:00 - Post workout shake. 8:00 pm - Supper. Lean cut of meat, (chicken or beef) minimal carbs. 11:00 pm - Prtien shake or cottage cheese. Supplements are non existant. If its not in my food or protien shakes, I dont use it. Other supps 350 mg test prop ew and 200 mg of NPP. Ive used these for a cutter, to retain LBM, and its working rather well. im shedding fat, and gaining muscle.. As of last night, I weighed in at 236. Big 3 have never been a big priority, but I have done them in the past month. Bench 315 for reps. Squated 315 for reps, pretty sure I can go to 405. Dead is 405 x 2.

I usually post in the lupus and cfs forum, but I was hoping some of you might be able to help answer a few questions regarding my son and maybe help to ease some of my fears. I hope I'm posting in the right place - we don't have a definite GI diagnosis yet. I'll give you some background on my son and I'll try to keep it as brief as possible.
My son, Josh just turned 9 and was diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis within the last year (symptoms for 1.5 years). Along with the arthritis symptoms Josh has frequent stomach aches and sometimes severe pain and he had frequent "stomach flu" all throughout the year last year. He does have constipation a lot, and doesn't usually get diahrea. We were referred to a pediatric GI doc due to the stomach pain to make sure the arthritis wasn't causing inflammation in the GI tract. GI doc doesn't think there is anything like crohn's going on, however Josh is very very backed up with very very hard stool to the point where his rectum is much larger than it should be. The GI doc is having us give him a large dose of miralax for 5 days and then taper it down to a normal dose and stay on it for at least 4 months. For the next five days Josh will take 4 capfuls a day of miralax to completely clean his system out. I am so worried about
how he will cope with this and how bad things will get when his stools turn liquid. I'm worried he will have accidents at school and will have a hard time controlling his bowels. The GI doc said it's possible this could happen.
Can anyone guess or give me some idea of how bad this could get or do you think it will be controllable and not interfere with school? It seems like a huge dose of miralax but my son is very big for his age (5ft tall and 120lbs). Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I don't even know if miralax is something that is given for people with IBS. If not, maybe someone could point me in a different direction. Thank you again.

Did you see the post from Yowie on an article linking IBS to autoimmune diseases? If I remember correctly, rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease. So IBS may be something he will also just have for the rest of his life. And evidence also shows that autoimmune diseases--in any form--are herditary: my mother has fibromyalgia and her sister has Crohn's and both had two uncles with Crohn's. If you have any other children, be watching them for signs of any type of autoimmune disease.
Miralax is used by a number of people on this board, so yes, it's okay to use for IBS. If I remember correctly, it's a fiber supplement, not a chemical laxative, so it shouldn't cause accidents (but I'd wait for confirmation from people who have actually used it!), but it may cause him to need to go to the bathroom suddenly and he may get bad gas cramps. If you do send him to school, make sure all of his teachers know that he has bowel problems and to let him go to the bathroom at once. No waiting for the bathroom pass, no telling him to wait until class lets out; he needs to be let go immediately and without question. But everyone may just feel better if he stays home for a day or two until you see how the fiber will effect him; it can initally give people very bad cramps. He might as well be at home for all the learning he will do if he's all cramped up. And the first stool he passes will be hard; he's got to get all the old, constipated stool out first before he can start passing the softer stools.
We had one young man on here who had accidents at school because of his IBS and he almost dropped out, but his school district actually had a program for kids who couldn't attend regular school for a variety of reasons and he was able to join that. They did class via the internet, I think, then met once or twice a week in person for an hour or so. With all of your son's problems, you might want to look into homeschooling him yourself (if you don't work full time) or see if your county has some sort of program for chronically ill children to give them some schooling, but outside a normal classroom. Because when it's not his IBS acting up, it'll probably be his arthritis.
You'll have to be the judge of your child's school, teacher(s) and classmates, but it may be helpful for the teacher or school nurse--when Josh isn't there--to talk to the kids about
why he has to miss school sometimes. Explain about
him having severe pain and stiffness in all of his joints sometimes and how sometimes that makes him sick to his stomach too. I think, in most cases, kids will be more understanding and less likely to tease when things are explained. I think most schools have found it's better to just tell the class that so-and-so has cancer and this is what will be happening to him, rather than just let the kid come back to school one day with no hair. Kids understand pain and can have sympathy for another person in pain, or having to go to the doctor and get shots all the time, and being too sick to have fun, etc., but they have to be told that's what's happening. They can't reason that something's wrong with someone else just based on symptoms, like an adult can. I can remember when I was in elementary school (4th grade) and a boy with Down's syndrome was sent there for special education. Our teacher and the special ed teacher talked to our class about
what Down's syndrome was, why he looked different and what he could and couldn't do, since we'd be sharing lunchtime and playtime with him. They also made it very clear that teasing him was mean and would not be tolerated in the slightest. And the kids were all very nice to him and purposefully picked him for games and talked to him at lunchtime, etc. And I think that's just the best way to handle a situation where one child is significantly different from his peers; if kids are talked to about
it, if they are made to understand, they are a lot less likely to tease. Teasing oftentimes comes not just from being different, but being different in a way that a kid can't understand.
If you do take him out of the regular school system, make sure he does have a social outlet of some sort. There are all sorts of homeschooling clubs that meet to go on group field trips or play sports together--any way to bring the kids together. You may also find some sort of sport that he can do that's not high impact on his joints, like horseback riding and swimming, and that will give him a chance to make friends.

Keriamon, thank you SO much for your very thoughtful and informative reply. I appreciate all of the information and advice. Yes, I did read that post last night about
IBS and autoimmune diseases so I think this is probably something Josh will be dealing with long term. I also have a four year old daughter who is thankfully very very healthy so far and I pray she stays that way.
I talked to the principal and teacher this morning. Josh goes to a very small town school, so in some ways that can be good. They were both very accomodating and understanding. Josh has permission to get up and go to the bathroom without asking and he can use the private bathroom in the office if he wants to where I have put several extra pair of underwear and extra pants for him if needed. When his stools get really watery I will keep him home for a few days if it gets too uncontrolable or uncomfortable.
At some time I do think it would be good to talk to Josh's class about
his arthritis, especially if he misses a lot of school again this year.
Thank you again for your help.

Fight Like a Girl Foundation Appoints Jennifer McNeely as Development Manager
Nov 10, 2016, 08:15 ET
WESTLAKE, Ohio, Nov. 10, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The Fight Like a Girl organization is pleased to introduce its new Development Manager for the Fight Like a Girl Foundation, Jennifer McNeely. Jennifer will be responsible for developing and organizing fundraisers throughout the state of Ohio, establishing co-brand partnerships, identifying and acquiring corporate sponsors, and writing and submitting grant proposals.

According to Fight Like a Girl's founder and President, Sandy Ellis, the organization's non-profit endeavors started with Fight Like a Girl Utah in 2013 with plans to ultimately establish a local Fight Like a Girl Chapter in each state. "Utah is our prototype," explains Ellis, "we wanted to get it up and running smoothly so that we would have a solid and fully functioning model for the remaining states. Thanks to our dedicated Director in Utah we've done that, and now we're ready to start our next Chapter."
Although Fight Like a Girl Ohio is based in Westlake, a western suburb of Cleveland, its fundraising efforts will cover the entire state including Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati. "We're excited to expand our fundraising efforts to Ohio since this is where our corporate offices are based," Ellis added, "we're looking forward to establishing local partnerships and assisting individuals in need of support right here at home. Jennifer has already jumped in and is working on making that happen sooner than later. We are very happy to have her as part of the Fight Like a Girl team!"
Previously, Jennifer founded and managed her own non-profit organization, Ashley's Hope, for six years. Ashley's Hope was created in honor of Jennifer's daughter, Ashley, who battled cancer three times at 19-months-old, 2-years-old, and again at 3 ½-years-old. Jennifer gave up everything to care and provide for her daughter during this time, all the while filling the roles of wife and mother to her other daughter, who herself battles food allergies as well as ADHD, depression and PTSD.
This period of her life was the catapult for her passion to help others. Reflecting on the experience of having a child with cancer, Jennifer explains "I became aware of how hard social workers and case workers work but the need for help for families dealing with a serious medical diagnosis is great, and I truly felt that I had the call of helping others." Although Ashley still struggles with the daily challenges of chemo side-effects, Jennifer is happy to report that she is now 9 years in remission and in high school.
Jennifer resides in Cleveland with her husband and three children.
The Fight Like a Girl Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit committed to supporting those in need through its multi-faceted Mission of (1) financially assisting families experiencing hardship due to a serious medical diagnosis (2) emotionally supporting women fighting cancer or another life-altering illness (3) fulfilling last wishes of individuals with a prognosis of less than one year.

Fairmont Broadens Its Approach to Operational Sustainability
- Published by Vedat
More than two decades after Fairmont Hotels & Resorts led the foray into environmental stewardship with the launch of its highly acclaimed and industry-leading Green Partnership program, the luxury hotel brand is again raising the bar with the introduction of its new Fairmont Sustainability Partnership.
Expanding its scope and taking a more holistic approach to operational responsibility, the new program provides greater balance around the company's economic, environmental and social priorities.
A highlight of the new program, which builds on Fairmont's existing foundation of environmental and CSR programming, is the creation of four pillars that lend strength and focus to the brand's renewed commitment to achieving positive long-term change on a global scale: Responsible Business, Ecosystem, Environment, and Engagement. Found within each pillar are priorities that Fairmont has established to help achieve its new sustainability goals, including:
• Responsible Business incorporates governance, accountability and disclosure. In 2013, as a first step to delivering against this priority, the luxury hotel brand introduced a centralized Data Management System that allows for real-time monitoring, measurement and reporting on sustainability contributions, and initiatives at the hotel level. Additionally, hotel "Green Teams" comprised of enthusiastic and passionate colleagues who drive innovation and achieve positive change at their individual properties, will be renamed "Sustainability Teams" to better reflect Fairmont's expanded focus on operational responsibility.
• Ecosystem includes design and construction, procurement and biodiversity as key priorities - resulting in Fairmont continuing to integrate sustainable practices into renovations and new hotel openings, purchasing decisions and understanding and addressing their impacts on biodiversity.
• Environmental priorities will continue to focus on reductions in energy and water consumption, waste generation and carbon emissions. Fairmont continues to work with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) to achieve an established greenhouse gas emission reduction target and will look to further support of strategic initiatives including encouraging the use of electric vehicles through the installation of EV charging stations.• Engagement comprises guests, colleagues, communities and partners. In an effort to enhance positive impact at a local level, the brand recently introduced the Fairmont CAREs grant program which provides seed funding to hotel-identified organizations and causes that improve the overall well-being of the community. Support at a colleague level comes through the brand's recently introduced Hotel of the Year program which recognizes and rewards properties as they achieve strategic priorities and initiate innovative sustainability practices.

Everybody has an idea for a book, and Jared Smith has written the one I would have loved to write.
At, 32, Smith has written "Fishin¹ Trails," a guide to 25 short hikes for Eastern Sierra wild trout. Despite his relatively young age, Smith brings a lifetime of High Sierra fishing experience and his love of the high country is obvious in his writing.
I first met Smith shortly after his family purchased Parcher's Resort in the Bishop Creek Basin late in 2005. He was a new face at the annual Fred Hall Fishing Tackle and Outdoor show at Del Mar in 2006 and I was impressed with his Sierra knowledge and experience.
I've stopped by to visit when I am in the Bishop area and even spent a week enjoying the hospitality at Parcher's Resort. I've fished the area for years, but he still put me on to some "secret" places that delivered lots of fish. I hate it when a young whippersnapper knows more than I do about fishing! Last summer, Smith asked me to review a chapter of his book and I knew he had something that anyone who trout fishes and loves the High Sierra would really enjoy. I suspect I will be giving several copies as Christmas gifts.
Smith was born and raised in Orange County, but was blessed with a family that had a long fishing history. Before he could walk, he was packed into Sierra Lakes by has parents. He caught his first trout in North Lake in the Bishop Creek Basin when he could hardly walk.
"As a kid our family spent our summer vacations in the Eastern High Sierra," Smith recalls. "I often hated the long hikes, but I was always in total awe when we arrived at our destination."
At an early age he realized his mental compass was calibrated to always point toward the High Sierra. At age 19 he moved to Mammoth Lakes and lived there for almost a year, "going to school, working and snowboarding." He also started hiking and discovering new areas of the magnificent Sierra.
He got his idea for a High Sierra fishing book in 2004 while backpacking with buddies. He started making more frequent trips to gather information, photographs and first-hand accounts of Sierra lakes.
"I got tired of the traveling back and forth to Irvine and in 2005 I saw that Parcher¹s resort was for sale," he said.
The Smith family purchased the resort and Smith moved to Bishop on New Year's Day, 2006.
"I kind of lost the next year working on the book because of all the work involved with the resort," Smith said.
But once settled in, he was able to spend more time in the backcountry, especially in the spring and fall when the resort was closed. In 2007 he was back at work on the book, deciding which lakes to include and developing the text.
In addition to the great photography, Smith offers valuable tips on how to fish the lakes in his book. He describes how to reach each lake, the elevation, size and type of fish found there. He also includes full-color images and chapters on Sierra trout, tackle and techniques, backcountry ethics, and hiking basics.
The book has six sections featuring hike-to lakes in Bishop Creek Drainage, Rock Creek, Mammoth Lakes, June Lake Loop, Tioga Pass area and Virginia lakes.
Smith is already working on his next book that will be the same format but will be to more distant lakes.
"Fishin' Trails" sells for $24.95 and is available online at the Parcher's Resort Web site, www.parchersresort.net .
Smith hopes to have it in area tackle shops soon.
As I said earlier, this is a book I wish I had written.
Diamond Valley Lake reopening
The public boat ramp at Diamond Valley Lake has been closed since October 2008 because of low water levels, but that will change Dec. 20 when an extended ramp is completed and open to the public.
At 4,500 acres, DVL is the largest freshwater lake in Southern California and has gained a reputation as a premier fishing lake. Closure of the launch ramp severely limited public access and the fishing.
Megan Merchant at the Last Chance Tackle Shop in Hemet said anglers are anxious to again have boat access to the lake and are looking forward to getting on the water.
Lake Wohlford to be stocked
Lake Wohlford will be stocked with 4,500 pounds of trout for the Dec. 12 opening of trout season, followed by an additional 3,000 pounds before the end of the month.
Ranger George Scalo said the fish are from the Chaulk Mound Hatchery in Nebraska and are known as "tail walkers" because of their aggressive response to being hooked.
Scalo said the heavy plant should offer anglers a "rip-roaring start to the season."

Some "Top" Public Schools Are "failing"
August 5, 2002
A comparison of lists of the nation's best and worst public schools has found that at least 19 of them qualify in both categories. USA Today did the comparison.
The overlap emphasizes just how elusive the definition of "school excellence" has become -- and questions the validity of the nation's most prestigious recognition program.
- Since 1982, the federal Department of Education has cited nearly 4,000 Blue Ribbon schools.
- Now the federal government also requires states to compile a list of all schools that don't make adequate progress in academics for two years in a row -- and that list includes 8,652 schools.
- USA Today singled out 10 states with the most "failing" schools and compared it with the 1,154 Blue Ribbon schools in those states.
- It found that half of the 10 states had at least one Blue Ribbon winner among schools that failed to meet state standards.
Moreover, at least seven were simultaneously the nation's "best" and "worst" in the 2000-01 school year -- and three won the exemplary title in May, just one month before the federal deadline to report failing schools.
Federal education officials say it is not fair to compare the two programs because they measure different kinds of school progress. Nonetheless, the department is adopting new criteria for the Blue Ribbon program.
The 10 states with the most "failing" schools are Michigan, California, Ohio, Georgia, New York, Illinois, Arizona, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. It is important to note, however, that some states -- such as Michigan -- have much tougher grading criteria than others.

Good morning and happy friday! I'm extremely pleased to share with you the beautifully elegant wedding of Gillian & Brian shot by Christina Brosnan of Brosnan Photographic – another fab lady whom I met at the Christine Meinjtes Funshop last month. She has also been previously featured on the blog as she photographed the beautiful B Magazine Wedding Shoot a while back.
Brian and Gillian were married in Kilanerin Church with their reception at the beautiful Marfield House, which looks absolutely lush with a beautiful garden for portraits. Christina said "Gillian's attention to detail made every aspect of the wedding day fantastic to photograph. She had flower corsages for the girls, their wedding initials on the fireplace, victorian style umbrellas, and so much more. Details add so much to your wedding photography. And she was a stunner in that dress! Brian looked equally as great in his custom tailored suit from Savile Row. A nice touch indeed!" I could not agree more, I love the combination of colorful flowers Gillian chose and the way that even the bridesmaid dresses seem to match the venue. The B&G sign also makes me swoon a bit as does her gorgeous lace veil.
Congrats to the happy couple and thanks so much to Christina Brosnan of Brosnan Photographic – Make sure to check out her website for more fab photos.

BOSTON, Dec 17 (Reuters) - The chief investment officer of Rhode Island's state pension fund, Kenneth Goodreau, will become CIO of TIG Advisors on Jan. 1, the private New York-based investment manager said.
The move is the latest in a string of departures by top U.S. pension fund executives for the private sector where salaries tend to be significantly higher than in state governments.
Goodreau helped the $8 billion state fund invest with hedge funds during his six-year tenure. He is the founder of hedge fund Knollwood Capital Management.
TIG, with about $2 billion under management, expects to launch new investment strategies when Goodreau is on board, TIG President Spiros Maliagros said in an interview. "We expect to be active this year; we are always opportunistically looking for strategies that will enhance our platform."
TIG was founded by Carl Tiedemann, a former chairman of Wall Street investment bank Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette. It offers clients access to customized portfolios and provides services to Wall Street portfolio managers, such as back office, compliance, risk control and investor relations.
This year, the group has backed five new managers, including a pair of former proprietary traders from Royal Bank of Canada and Bank of American who wanted to start a mortgage structured credit hedge fund.
At a time many state pension funds are underfunded and their chief investment officers face new pressures in efforts to boost returns, a handful have left for the private sector in the last 18 months.
In 2011, Raudline Etienne left the $150 billion New York State Common Retirement Fund for the Albright Stonebridge Group. Six months ago Stanley Mavromates left the $50 billion Massachusetts state pension fund to become chief investment officer of Mercer Investments.

How do you top the biggest hit of last year's North American International Auto Show? How about by cutting the top off of the Chevrolet Camaro concept car? A ragtop prototype of the hit pony car will be making its official debut at the 2007 Detroit Auto Show, and company officials hint that, as with the coupe, the Camaro cabriolet will soon find its way into the Chevy showroom.
Once one of the country's most popular muscle cars,
the Camaro grew bloated and outdated, ultimately fading into oblivion. But the
long-rumored concept car that showed up at
It didn't take senior GM managers long to recognize the winner on their hands – quickly approving a production version – nor could they miss, in the words of Ed Welburn, GM's vice president of global design, that "The best follow-up to last year's award-winning Camaro concept is a Camaro convertible."
With Hugger Orange pearl tri-coat paint, and a pair of gunmetal gray sports stripes, the ragtop looks very much like the original coupe concept, with subtle tweaks reflecting the steady move towards production – and Welburn assures TheCarConnection.com that the Camaro launching in 2009 will look very, very much like the original, 2006 concept.
"The new Camaro concepts bridge heritage with contemporary style, with a design that is simultaneously admired among import-influenced youth and traditional enthusiasts," declares chief exterior designer Brian Smith.
Minor changes have been made to accommodate the canvas top, such as the front windshield surround and backseat. But overall dimensions are essentially identical to that of the concept Camaro coupe.
The ragtop rides on 21-inch tires, up front, with 22s in back. They're mounted on deep-dish, five-spoke wheels featuring charcoal center sections with bright outer edges and an orange outline on the wheel edge.
A variety of details underscore the performance heritage of the Camaro convertible, including the rear fender gills, racing-style fuel filler door and the Corvette-derived hood scoop.
GM is being consciously vague about what's underneath
that hood, apparently hoping to save at least a few surprises for the official
The coupe features four-wheel independent suspension and four-wheel disc brakes. Going to IRS would be a leg up on Camaro's arch-rival, the Mustang; Ford beancounters choose to go with a live rear axle in order to hold down costs.
GM has had plenty of decisions dictated by its own, penny-pinching accountants, over the years. And some of those ill-conceived actions were responsible for killing off the Camaro brand for several years. As with Mustang, the General intends to market a variety of versions of the next-generation Camaro, starting with a base, V-6 model and running well up in both horsepower and price. But company officials firmly insist they won't strip the car down like they might have in the past.
