Comcast Cable Communications Management, LLC, through its contractor, Mom Central Consulting, provided a promotional item as a thank you to the blogger who made this post for participating in this campaign. The opinions and experiences expressed in this post are solely the bloggers opinions, based on the blogger's experiences and do not reflect any positions or opinions of Comcast Communications Management, LLC.
After going without cable for over three years, we decided it was time to treat ourselves to a little family friendly television. After doing our research, we chose to sign up with Comcast Xfinity. It made sense considering Comcast was already our internet provider. We just added it to our account and saved some money for bundling the two. I'm always up for saving money. The other streaming services we were using started getting boring because the kids had watched everything of interest and there were other shows not on them.
There are some pretty great features that accompany the Comcast Xfinity service. I love the level of entertainment programming that is kid and family friendly. We have three kids – ages 17, 9 and 3. They all enjoy watching completely different shows. My 17 year old has a basic receiver in his room – no DVR, no On Demand or premium channels. But that makes him happy. Our youngest two always watch their shows in the living room and that is where all the fun bells and whistles are at.
Our three favorite features of Xfinity are the DVR, On Demand and Streampix. Personally, DVR is my best friend. I'm only loyal to about three shows (Grey's Anatomy, Sons of Anarchy and Pretty Little Liars). I'm a mom with three kids; the chances are slim that I will get to sit down and watch these shows while they are actually on. So I DVR them and watch them later – when the kids are in bed.
For my kids, they can be demanding. So On Demand is perfect for them (pun intended). They can watch what they want to watch, when they want to watch it. Our three year old doesn't have the concept of a TV guide; therefore, being able to DVR new episodes of his shows are great. Then it's like his own little personal On Demand. Right now, you'll find many episodes of Big Time Rush, The Haunting Hour, The Fresh Beat Band and Power Rangers saved for later.
On Demand and Streampix are great. There are also over 1,000 downloadable kid shows with the Xfinity Digital TV and Streampix. We did some traveling this Summer. It was so great to have the ability to bring along our mobile devices and access their favorite shows. You can be on the road, in a hotel or at the park (or anywhere else) and access your favorite shows on the go! You won't have anymore cranky kids, that's for sure.
Let's talk about the important stuff… the serious stuff – parental controls. There are so many amazing features about Xfinity's parental controls. I like that you can block access to specific types of content on TV. So if you are a parent who does not mind a little violence but you don't tolerate sexual situations, you are able to block one and not the other. You have the options of blocking violence, sexual situations, suggestive dialogue and language.
You can block access to all On Demand shows if you prefer. You can activate a pin on your account. In that case, you have to have a pin to order some On Demand programs and Pay-Per-View events. Then maybe your kids go and stay the night at Grandma's house and you want to open up your access. You can temporarily bypass locks or permanently clear the locks – your choice. You can even block specific ratings for just TV programs, just movies or both.
Now get ready for my favorite parental control. We have HBO and the late night programming is highly inappropriate for children (obviously) – even the titles. In your settings, you can choose to replace the titles of mature programs with the words "Adult Programming" or "TV-MA Programming." I would much rather have my kids see that than the title of a porn. I'm sure I'm not alone on this. Those kids up there are too precious to be exposed to mature content at such a young and vulnerable age.
Check out Comcast Xfinity and what they have to offer. Be sure to follow Comcast Xfinity on Twitter and like them on Facebook to stay up on their latest news and promotions. If you have any questions about their service, I would be happy to answer them. Leave them below and you will receive an email when I reply.
What are your thoughts?
Do you have these great features?
What are your must see TV Shows?

11 Feb Internet VC Investment Analysis Questionnaire
Perhaps the most sure-fire method for getting the attention of your venture capitalist is through the recommendation of a previous entrepreneur or colleague. Legitimacy is often about experience, but the benefit of playing the "who you know" card is, and always will be, the best method. First and foremost, rely on your network and your relationships when seeking funding for your business.
- What can you tell me about the product or service being offered? How do you differentiate your product or service from the others on the market for your particular industry?
- What type of customers are buying your product or service? How many customers do you have? What type of customer profitability do you garner?
- Please list off competitive advantages and major distinctions from the competition. How will you continue to adapt to ensure your competitive advantages remain intact after the business transition?
- Who are your competitors? How do they compete directly? How do they compete indirectly? Where do you fit in within the industry taxonomy relative to the competition?
- How will markets (public and private) react to the cash flows generated by your company? What types of betas, WACC, and market multiples are common in your industry?
Each of the aforementioned questions could and will produce more follow-on questions which will ultimately provide the VC with about as much information as he/she may need to know in the event your company receives an investment.
In general, venture capitalists are data-mongers. They scour business plans looking for patterns of previously successful businesses. Believe me, most VCs are able to spot winners rather quickly. It may be a differentiation strategy that creates market leadership in a particular (often newer) field, it could be a significant competitive barrier or even a highly-technical team of whiz-kids. Combinations of the aforementioned help, but something must stand out for investors to want to throw cash at a deal.
As part of their data-mongering, VCs like great economics. If a deal lacks core, believable economic data to back up the value prop, it's dead in the water. The value proposition includes the following key features/questions:
- Cost of product production or service offering
- Cost to sell the product (marketing)
- How many estimated customers can you bring in? Or, in other words, what's the size of the market and what % of the market can your business effectively capture?
- Retail/wholesale prices for your products or services
- What type of margin is left over after you cover all costs involved? In other words, what will the business eventually throw-off in free cash flows?
When it often takes millions of upfront investment–especially in the start-up world–the answer to #5 on margin is absolutely critical to winning over investors. They don't just want 10% returns, they bet on many deals knowing that only a small few will ever really explode and become huge successes. Your pitch is three parts: you and your team, your product, and your plan. Perfect all three and VC money is much more easily acquired.

Spend time looking for a realtor to work with. Ask questions, inquire about education and experience.
What area do you wish to live in? Are school districts important to you? If so, be sure and inquire.
Investigate the areas you think you want to live in and learn about the particulars. Find out about the community and the local environment. Talk to people who live in the area and gauge "neighborliness." It's just as important to consider the community around you as the home itself both for safety and comfort as well as the long term value of your home and property investment.
Analyze your income and budget. It's highly recommended that you work with a qualified lender to determine what you can qualify for before you start looking. A good realtor can make helpful recommendations. Identify a comfortable price range and stay within it when you start looking at properties.
Determine the size of house you would like that fits your means, including number of bedrooms, bathrooms, garage, yard areas, and the like.
Amenities can range from extra rooms to remodeled kitchens and bathrooms to yard areas to nearby parks and recreation areas.
Consider all aspects of what it would be like to live in the homes you consider buying, including:

Plymouth knew exactly what they were doing when they designed the Prowler and Prowler parts. The ultimate modern-day "pinup" car was the intention and the Prowler's image succeeded. Its lower-slung body, booming wheels, and exposed cab harkens back to the days when roadburning was not just a hobby, but a way of life. Those were simpler times, true enough, but this machine is stylish, iconic, and a valued collector's item that contrasts perfectly with today's automotive clones. Drivers of the Prowler know what it is to stand out a little bit. Now, they just want to stand out even more with the help of stylish Prowler accessories.
Reintroduced in 1999, the new Prowler was available in yellow, black, or red body colors in addition to the original purple one. New, but optional were the chrome wheels. Traction control and antilock brakes were still not available. The big change for 2000 was the improved suspension and softened springs. This year silver body color also appeared, dropping down yellow and purple body colors. While leather boot and new chrome bezel went on the gearshift, an automatic-dimming mirror gained an integral compass and trip computer. Remaining mostly unchanged, the 2001 model offered new colors. So did the last 2002 model with Inca Gold Pearl coat replacing the Midnight Blue Pearl coat.
Gears, Performance ProwlerPro Patent Pending Prowler Pro is the first company to offer deeper gear ratio for the Prowler. The new gear ratio is much more suited to the kind of driving you do in a Prowler. http://www.prowlerpro.com
Whatever you expect from your Plymouth Prowler, a bold look, mind-boggling performance, greater ride comfort, or safer driving, CARiD goes the extra mile to meet all your needs. Our extensive range of premium accessories and parts covers all the bases, whether you want your vehicle to be more powerful, smarter, fun to drive, or just need to restore it to original condition. We know how to throw a classy appeal into your Plymouth Prowler and keep it providing the best performance, so trust us and get the greatest bang for the buck!
Battery Blanket – Electric Battery Heater Mopar 82300778 The Battery Blanket plugs in at any 110 volt outlet and warms the vehicle battery to improve cold starting performance.

Plug in the 110 volt lead duing extremely cold weather to warm the battery, extending battery life and improving vehicle starting. http://www.mopar.com
The Arctic Cat Prowler is historically significant because it is the first real sled to be produced by the post-hiatus Arctic Cat. This sled would set the tone of what the new Arctic Cats would become and to lead the company back towards the top. Though the line only lasted through six years of production, its impact is still felt. Keep the legacy of your Arctic Cat Prowler alive when you get everything that you need to ride this winter at Dennis Kirk.

"Aftermarket" is a term used to describe parts that are not made by the factory. So for example, for your Chrysler Prowler, if you buy parts for your car that are not actually made by Chrysler, then those are termed "aftermarket". Many people use the term "Prowler aftermarket parts" specifically when referring to custom parts for the Prowler, like performance parts or custom appearance parts. But even if you just replace your Prowler brake pads with OEM-grade factory-style brake pads that are not made by Chrysler, those too are aftermarket Prowler parts. Over the course of a vehicle's life, it almost certainly will have aftermarket parts installed in it at some point, even if the vehicle is never actually "modded out".
Carrying V6 engine, the Prowler didn't make as much torque as the company's magnum V8s of that era, but it's performance, including off-the-line acceleration was impressive (thanks to its light weight). The Prowler parts were manufactured of aluminum with about 900 pounds of aluminum used in the hood, bumpers, doors, front side panels, rear deck, frame, front-suspension wishbones, and seat frames. Front fenders, rear body panels, and rocker panels were made of plastic. As for Plymouth Prowler interior parts, a full complement of gauges at the center of the dashboard, in an elliptical pod continued the retro theme. The pod's purple color was identical to the body color, which was the only color available in 1997. Standard equipment on the Prowler was: cruise control, tilt steering wheel, air conditioning, power windows, mirrors, locks, a defroster for the convertible top's glass rear window, and 6-disc CD changer.
Our original Aluminum Billet Grill has returned. The grill shell comes in the original 2 styles. One style has the center bar and other does not The shells come in triple plated chrome or painted.

Our show quality triple plated chrome headrest covers are back and better than ever. They are also available painted in production colors. We are also introducing a less expensive chrome headrest cover using vacuum metalizing. This process consists of the headrest cover being washed and coated with a basecoat.

Though it was just one of 250 ideas put forward in a 1990 brainstorming session at Chrysler's Pacifica Design studio in California, the Prowler made the cut for further development. Numerous iterations followed before the definitive design was frozen in mid-1992, and a full-size version readied for the 1993 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

Collet-Sicard syndrome as an initial presentation of prostate cancer: a case report
- Rosa Villatoro1Email author,
- Carlos Romero2 and
- Antonio Rueda1

Collet-Sicard syndrome is caused by lesions at the base of the skull affecting the lower cranial nerves. It is associated with various etiologies of tumoral and other origin. Although this syndrome has been reported previously in the literature, most cases are diagnosed as part of primary disease follow-up. This case is unusual because of the diagnosis of bone metastasis secondary to prostate cancer.
Case presentation
We present the case of a 70-year-old Caucasian man with a three-week history of headache and maxillary pain on the right side together with paresis of the low cranial nerves. This study was carried out with a computed tomography (CT) scan of the larynx and neck and MRI, which revealed a bone lesion at the base of the skull affecting the right occipital condyle and part of the right side of the basilar bone. On the basis of differential diagnosis, a fibrous dysplasia, Paget's disease or metastasis was considered. Finally, and after other studies were performed, a diagnosis of bone metastasis secondary to prostate cancer was established.
We think that this case is curious because it involved an initial presentation of metastatic prostate cancer. It is important this should be considered in the differential diagnosis when a patient with unusual clinical findings is first seen in view of the fact that first-line hormonal treatment may control the disease for months or years.
- Zoledronic Acid
- Temporal Bone
- Fibrous Dysplasia
- Occipital Condyle
- Jugular Foramen
Collet-Sicard syndrome is caused by lesions at the base of the skull affecting the lower cranial nerves, which produces dysphonia, displacement of the palate, and atony of the trapezius muscle and sternocleidomastoid, as well as anesthesia of the larynx, pharynx and soft palate. It is associated with various etiologies of tumoral and other origins. The differential diagnosis is important. Among the non-tumoral factors causing Collet-Sicard syndrome, the most common are traumatic events (fractures at the base of the skull, aneurisms, and so on), inflammatory processes (osteomyelitis, Paget's disease, and so on) or other alterations such as diabetes mellitus or porphyrias [1]. However, considering a potential tumor cause in the differential diagnosis is important.
Collet-Sicard syndrome may be diagnosed based on clinical history, a physical examination or imaging studies such as computed tomography (CT) and MRI scans [1]. The site most frequently affected is the petrous apex, although the external auditory canal, the middle ear and the mastoid apophysis can also be involved [2]. The symptoms vary depending on the location of occurrence, producing effects ranging from loss of hearing to tinnitus or disorders of cranial nerve VIII, the jugular foramen or the anterior condylar canal. The latter is the site described in our patient's case [3].
Case presentation
Subsequently, an additional radiographic examination of the lumbar column and pelvis was carried out; this examination did not reveal any lesions suggestive of Paget's disease. A bone gammagraphy was then requested, and images showed multiple pathological foci of tracer uptake in the right maxilla, the rib cage, right scapula, spine and pelvis. These foci were compatible with disseminated bone metastases. The blood analysis was repeated, and tumor markers were studied. The initial prostate-specific antigen (PSA) value was 21.30 ng/mL.
A physical examination revealed an enlarged prostate with a hard consistency, destructured in the left lobe. Because there was a strong suspicion of prostate neoplasm, a biopsy was performed. The anatomic pathology findings were bilateral common adenocarcinoma, with a Gleason grade of 8 (4+4), affecting 60% of the tissue. There was no presence in the periprostatic adipose tissue and no perineural infiltration.
Following the diagnosis of stage IV prostate adenocarcinoma by metastatic bone dissemination with Collet-Sicard or jugular foramen syndrome, hormone treatment was begun with an antiandrogen. Then, 15 days later, a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) analog was added and a monthly dose of zoledronic acid was subsequently included. The PSA value during the diagnostic process, prior to the start of antiandrogen therapy, was 71.9 ng/mL.
After three months of treatment, our patient was able to swallow normally, but the dysphonia remained. The rightward displacement of the palate, the lowering of the right shoulder and the atony of the right side of the tongue (paresis of cranial nerves XI and XII) remained unaltered. The latest PSA value was 0.11 ng/mL.
The clinical presentation of metastasis to the temporal bone is uncommon, and few cases have been reported. Nevertheless, its incidence is probably greater than commonly estimated because of the number of cases that remain undiagnosed. The multi-symptom nature of metastatic bone disease tends to produce more incapacitating symptoms than those associated with diseases of the temporal bone.
Various retrospective series of patients presenting with this syndrome have been reported in the literature. Vázquez et al. described 21 cases, of which 71% were secondary to neoplasia (57% from paraganglioma and 14% by the direct extension of carcinoma of the cavum) [1]. Imamura et al. reviewed the potential mechanisms responsible for metastatic dissemination to the temporal bone. Of the six patients studied, three cases presented hematogenous dissemination (hepatocellular carcinoma, non-microcytic lung cancer and adenocarcinoma of unknown origin), two cases were the consequence of direct invasion by carcinoma of the head and neck, and one case was caused by leptomeningeal carcinomatosis (carcinoma of transitional cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis) [4]. Gloria-Cruz et al. selected 212 corpses of patients with non-disseminated neoplasias for an autopsical study of the temporal bone. These authors identified 47 patients with metastasis in the temporal bone, and the involvement was bilateral in 62% of these cases. The most frequently occurring site was the petrous apex, and the hematogenous pathway was the normal route of dissemination [5, 6].
The management of Collet-Sicard syndrome consists of treating the cause that originates. In this case, therapy over primary tumor, followed by other measures such as the use of steroids or radiotherapy to help reduce edema and, thus, alleviate symptoms that can be limiting for the patient [7].
The medical literature contains various descriptions of patients with disseminated prostate cancer who presented with Collet-Sicard syndrome; however, in almost every case, this diagnosis was already known when neurological symptoms began [7–12]. Apart from our patient, only one other case has been reported where metastasis to the temporal bone was the first recognized symptom of the disease [12]. It is important to consider the possibility of the existence of prostate cancer when a patient with an unusual clinical presentation is first seen, in view of the fact that first-line hormonal treatment may control the disease for months or years.
Written informed consent was obtained from the patient for publication of this case report and any accompanying images. A copy of the written consent is available for review by the Editor-in-Chief of this journal.

Man the past 3 days at work have been pretty good. Had a couple of hiccups but not enough to ruin the awesome patient I had and her family. Sometimes you get a patient that doesn't appreciate anything you do for them or anything you try for them; you simply can't make them happy. Those patients are frustrating only because you know you've tried all your options and nothing has worked. But then you get those families that are friendly, understanding, and just enjoyable to be around. Those families remind you of why you wanted to be a nurse in the first place and how much you love your job. I had a family and patient like that the past 3 days and I will never forget them, they made my last 3 days wonderful.
Today I got to hangout with my awesome nephew for a few hours while his mom went on a field trip with his brother! He is so cute, I taught him to say 'beep beep I'm a jeep' and it was so stinkin adorable! Makes me want to have a few of my own.
Ok off to the vet, poor Booms got to go get some shots :(

My Husbands Snoring Kept Me Awake All Night…Again
I'm a little sluggish this morning because my husbands snoring kept me awake all night. I did a little research and found out that 84% of people have their sleep interrupted by snoring.
women are twice as likely as men to leave a room when their partner snores
- 65% of snoring victims do not leave the room
I know there are several options to curb snoring so far I can't get him to try any of them. I mean why would he it doesn't wake him up. I found this chin strap thingie just wondering how to convince him to wear it!
Okay I'm done venting.

Niels Rosing-Schow's Ut-Sons (Sea Songs) for Guitar Duo (2016).
Commissioned by 'OpenDays Festival' for the guitar duo Per Dybro Sørensen and Michael Norman.
Programme noteThe work has been written for a first performance at the Utzon Center in Aalborg, Denmark. It is an important aspect of the work that it must communicate with the building's remarkable architecture. The title is a play on words on the name Utzon. Ut - Sons (French Ut = the note C) means 'C - sounds', and the note C is the centre of the opening music, which returns several times in the first half of the piece. C - sounds is deliberately miss-spelled as Sea Sounds in the subtitle of the work. This expresses the proximity of the sea, which is heard in the music as re-occurring broken chords similar to the sound of small, friendly waves on the beach sand.In between these easily recognizable musical elements are established 'musical rooms', which are different versions of a common harmonic musical material. The quasi-canonical passages played by the two guitarists are mirroring each other without ever being totally identical, thus reflecting thesubtle broken symmetries of the building.
(Niels Rosing-Schow, 2016)

Preparing for a year of transition in Afghanistan
Jan. 18 - NATO optimistic as Afghanistan prepares for a year of transition. Deborah Lutterbeck reports.
What President Barack Obama once called a "war of necessity," enters a new stage in 2013 as Afghan forces are expected to take the lead in the war. Brigadier General Gunter Katz in Kabul was made available to Reuters by the Pentagon. (SOUNDBITE)(English)BRIGADIER GENERAL GUNTER KATZ , SAYING: "We expect that by mid 2013, by mid of this year the Afghan forces will take over the lead of security throughout the whole of the country." The US-led war was launched following the September 11th attacks by an al Qaeda network harbored by Afghanistan's Taliban rulers. (SOUNDBITE)(English)BRIGADIER GENERAL GUNTER KATZ , SAYING: "Our assessment is that here in Afghanistan we were quite successful destroying the terror network and keep on putting pressure on the remaining insurgents, we know that there will still be fighting after 2015, but we are very optimistic and our assessment is clear that the Afghanis are in a position to carry on that fight." More than 3,200 foreign forces have died in Afghanistan since the war was launched in 2001.

There's much more to our tip-top rating that the elevation of Sky Meadow Country Club!
Once rated by Golf Digest Magazine as "The #1 golf course in the State of New Hampshire," Sky Meadow was designed by the renowned architect Bill Amick.
Playing Sky Meadow, you'll enjoy a golf course professionally, consistently maintained to the highest of quality standards. The course measures 6,590 yards from the championship tees, and offers multiple tee locations on each hole in order to provide enjoyment and challenge for men, women and Juniors of all skills and abilities.
A full service practice range with a bunker and a putting green are integral parts of the amenities that complement the golf course.
Sky Meadow Country Club is conveniently located one mile west of Route 3 (at Exit 1) off Spitbrook Rd. Driving time is forty minutes from Boston, MA and twenty minutes from Manchester, NH.
We asked our pro to give us a few pointers around the course.
How would you describe the terrain of the golf course and greens?
"The course is set on the highest point in Nashua. With this mountain setting, we get incredible views of the golf course and surrounding area."
What kind of condition is the course in at different times during the year?
"Our maintenance staff works diligently to ensure excellent playing conditions during our playing months."
We're staring down #1; how do you recommend we play the first hole?
"The first hole requires an accurate drive uphill; a little draw with your driver or fairway wood will leave you with a short-iron approach to the elevated green. The green slopes back-to-front. With the green speeds a shot left below the hole will give you an excellent attempt at birdie; a shot left above the hole will make you work hard for you two-putt par."
"What is the best par-5 on the course?
"The third hole is a long par-5 over water from the back tees. A precise tee shot will give you a chance to go for it in two — but the bunkers that surround the green call for a long and accurate second shot to get home. The forward tees make it a little shorter for the average golfer. Accuracy is definitely the key to this hole."
What is the best par-3 on the course?
"Number Two — which is also our Signature Hole — is a long, downhill par-3 with a 100 foot drop to the green. This hole offers some wonderful views of the rest of the golf course and views of the white mountains to the north. Gorgeous!"
What's the toughest hole on the golf course?
"It's Number Seven. If you look at the yardage on the scorecard you'd think 'easy par-4.' Think again! You have to hit it straight off the tee with a fairway wood or long iron. The fairway is protected by water hazards on both sides of the fairway. If you manage to hit the fairway with your tee shot you're left with a mid-iron second shot over water to a well-bunkered green. Good luck, four is a great score here."
What's the most difficult green on the golf course?
"Fair warning: If you like level, flat greens and not using your imagination, Sky Meadow is not the place for you. Number 14 is a 300-yard, par-4 that's protected by the green. Severely sloped, hitting to the wrong spot will surely leave you with bogey.
"Its hard to pick just one green I like, but 14 is indicative of the rest of our greens, only a little more severe. Sky Meadow is a thinking-man's golf course. You have to use your imagination and think about where to put your ball — on the course and the greens. You certainly won't get 18 flat putts here, probably won't even get one!"
"As I play the final three holes, what's my chance at salvation, golf-wise?
"If you can make it to these last three holes with a decent round intact, the final three holes might give you a chance to improve. But like the rest of the golf course, you need to think about what your going to do before you do it.
"Number 16 is a short dog-leg right par-4. Driving the green is possible with a 300-yard drive and a slight fade; otherwise lay-up and you'll have a short wedge to the green. Sixteen is an excellent chance for birdie.
"Number 17 is an uphill par-3 with a mid-to-short iron. Choosing the right club will give a good chance for birdie. Choose wisely, the well-bunkered green puts a premium on club selection.
"Eighteen is an excellent finishing hole. A long par-4, dog-leg right, a good drive will set up a mid-iron approach to a relatively flat green. Two good shots will give you a great chance for birdie. From here you're about a wedge away from the #19 hole — CHEERS!"
If you enjoyed this brief course overview, imagine how much enjoyment you'll get as a member here at Sky Meadow, playing it at your leisure all season long!

"Be sure your sins will find you out." That's what the Good Book says. My mama said it a lot too. In fact, my mother once arranged for the public display of this proverb. I'm just glad I wasn't on the receiving end of her righteous indignation.
It was during a time in my childhood we now call middle school; seventh grade to be exact. My bagged lunch was kept in my homeroom, and I returned from math class to retrieve it each day. Someone began stealing my lunch on a daily basis. My family was poor. We didn't have a whole heck of a lot. My frugal mother could spread the family budget a bit further by spreading peanut butter on a couple of pieces of bread rather than buying school lunches every day. So the robbery of my lunch was like stealing from my father's meager pay check. My mother did what you are supposed to do: She complained. Still, the thievery continued. That no one at the school seemed capable of correcting this wrong really sent her five foot, one inch frame into orbit.
So, she did something I have rarely witnessed in her since I entered the world. She took matters into her own hands. This was highly uncharacteristic. Understand, my mother isn't timid, but she is a rule-keeper. A legalist at heart, she plays within the bounds. But not this time. My mother made a sandwich combining dog food and that greasy potted meat compost stuff. Knowing the thief would only get a bite or two of this down, she sweetened the deal with a nicely baked Ex-Lax brownie. The thought of my good Christian mother orchestrating and executing such a devious plan of revenge made my teenage heart leap with joy. By God, now we're talking! Enough of this mamsy-pamsy "turn the other cheek" stuff. Justice would finally roll down like the waters!
Or at least said justice would be expulsed from every orifice of the offender's body. Either way was fine with me.
On the appointed Day of Judgment I placed my lunch in its usual location and went on to math class. When I returned to fetch my lunch, to my sinister delight, it was gone. I nearly hyperventilated with satisfaction. I watched the absentee roll for the next several days. Dexter Wilkey missed three days in a row and finally returned to school with a peaked and poor look about the eyes. Mother and I had our man. The statute of limitations has expired so I reveal the identity of the bandit here for the first time. Shame on you Dexter.
When I reported this information to my Bible-reading, rule-keeping, daily-praying, no-card-playing, mama, her eyes fired up. She cocked her head back and crowed, "Hah! Remember this boy; be sure your sins will find you out!" I reckon they will.
How is it that our wrong-doings always float to the surface? They are like the continual reincarnation of some bad horror movie villain. They just won't go away. They won't stay dead. Cheat on your taxes and lo and behold that's the one year out of thirty you get audited. Cheat on your wife and that will be the miss-opportune time she decides to investigate the extra charges on your Visa card. Steal from your boss and expect a pink slip. Make purchases you never intend to pay back, and one night the re-po man will be sitting in your driveway. It might take a while to catch up with you, but catch up is coming nonetheless.
Sure, some will get away with it – whatever "it" may be – but there aren't many. Call it sin, or the inescapable justice of the universe, or the law of karma, or bad juju – whatever. "It" has a way of catching up with you like so many persistent bill collectors.
So what is the solution? Wave the white flag of surrender. Stop skimming off the till. Stay faithful to your spouse. Cut up a credit card. Be honest at work. Quit stealing little boys' lunches. It's never too late to do the right thing. Never. Unless of course you've got that brownie half-way down your throat already. If that's the case, well, Godspeed brave soldier. Your sins have caught up with you after all.

I once read a book by Dr Wanda Turner titled, Even With My Issues, and it was enlightening. A book of self realisation and if you haven't worked it out from the title, it is a self-help book. I have to admit it was a pretty good book.
I liked it. In its simple delivery, it was honest, unapologetic and true to itself. And if you are honest with yourself about your issues you will find that we all have issues but the key is to know what they are and work on them one at a time. It could be that you over-eat or sleep when you ought to be awake pursuing the dream.
You don't have to tell me but be honest with yourself. Trust me I have mine to deal with. I'm happy to listen and share, and together we can grow but I would never impose on any one. I have done too much of that in the past and it only got me into unnecessary trouble.
Before I deviate further from my mission today, recently, I have been struggling with a particular challenge. It is affecting a few things right now, especially my studies and I have been under a considerable amount of stress lately. As a woman of African descent with the full understanding that we have cultures, traditions and beliefs about what you tell and don't tell others about yourself.
Believe me, I'm not one for sharing my challenges with the world either. In fact, some of my closest friends don't even know what I am about to share on this page. It isn't that I don't want them to know. I just feel its best if I don't make an issue of it.
I was raised to always smile even when you are dying, no one needs to know. Forgive me but I have to admit that I agree with that mindset to a certain degree.
Now before you get all judgemental. Hear me out. Why share your challenges and troubles with individuals who are neither the cause nor solution to your problem. If they have no significant role to play, then it is none of their business.
Here it is, I am a young woman living with a medical condition. I won't share the details with you because you have no right to know. If I change my mind tomorrow, I will let you know. I respect Kirsten Dunst for letting the world know she struggles with depression. That takes guts and kudos to her. I respect the young man dying of leukaemia, yet, he is using the platform of his blogpage to help others.
I respect individuals who bring a voice and attention to any medical challenge that society needs to pay attention to. If Magic Johnson didn't tell the world he was HIV positive when he did, the attention it garnered would have never taken place. People would have never woken up to the fact that HIV is not a disease from Africa or a poor man's disease. It is a respecter of no one and it can happen to anyone.
Magic did so much coming forward and I respect him everyday for that because he didn't give up. He has fought all the way and from where I am standing; he is a fulfilled man.
Back to me, when I am ready to let you know I will but this is the point I am trying to make and don't get it confused. It remains uncontested that our medical records is indeed one of the most private things we have a right to. It is no one else's business.
I chose not to share mine because it doesn't matter. It is what it is, life and my personal little challenge. The beauty of it is that I never let it dictate the pace of my life. There are good days and there are bad days. There are teary days also. Today for example because I was overwhelmed by it but the good days are better than the bad days.
I picked up my newspaper this evening and found out presidential hopefuls in the US have to let the world know about their state of health. Obama, was today, declared healthy and fit by his doctor. McCain has also been said to be healthy and Hilary is yet to reveal her medical records.
Surprise is not the word to use. This is the first US presidential election I have followed closely and I am learning new things everyday. However, I can understand why they have to let the world know they are healthy. After all, if you want to be my president, I need to know you will last the four years you have been elected to lead.
This brings me to the point where I ask, who really has a right to know those issues we struggle with? Don't get me wrong. I am not ashamed of my challenge. To be honest, I am so proud of the fact that despite all I have to deal with I still have a zest for life. If anything, it has made me so passionate about life that every minute counts. I'm living and loving, learning to be me and no obstacle can stop me because nothing can stop me. If you ask anyone who knows me, they will tell you, B is crazy. She does things she knows she should think about twice or has no business doing.
I only ever tell those who need to know because of my safety or for the purpose of work and education. I remember when I was at Uni and had to tell my lecturers. It helped a lot because they understood why I was missing from class or could not meet a deadline or needed a deferral. It also meant they understood when I slept off during a lecture or seminar, and didn't pick on me because I could not help the situation. Yet, I completed my degree.
Even with my postgrad right now, the sitaution is the same. I look so drunk when I get home, all I can summon strenght to do is take off my shoes and hit my bed.
Recently, I had to fill in a job application form and there was a question about any personal or ethical challenges you may have faced and how you dealt with it. After much consideration I used my medical condition as one of the most challenging things I have faced in life and was quick to explain how I have dealt with it to date. Low and behold, I have an interview with one of the world's most respected newspapers very soon. Now I don't know if that was appealing to them but it was a milestone for me. I never share that part of myself so publicly but I took a chance and it worked out okay.
I don't know what you or any one thinks about this or how you feel about it. Do people have a right to know about our personal health issues? I'll leave that decision to you.
As for me, I am happy to keep my issue my issue because even with my issue, the beat goes on. Life goes on and nothing can stop me.

What is anyone doing on this site? It has almost no active posters (and you haven't been one of them lately). Whatever charter this site once had has ceased to have any relevance as it became the ghost town it now is.
Pound for pound, most of the posts here are not about peak oil at all. They may be coming from people who were once concerned about it, and maybe people who are waiting endlessly for it to become an issue again, but they're not talking about peak oil per se. They're about other dooms or just your usual tit for tat ad homs and petty partisan politics. If you took away Short and PStarr's futile attempts to connect anything and everything to peak-oil I doubt you'd have more more than a handful of actual peak oil posts in an entire week, as that's about all the subject deserves based on where we are on the continuum. The discussion has cratered.

Thankful to be together: Methodists welcome all to Red Wing Thanksgiving meal
What became a local tradition began as response to a simple challenge.
Bruce Duerkop was going to be alone for Thanksgiving Day 1992, so instead he headed to a gathering organized by a Twin Cities mission group. He later talked about the experience with his pastor.
"Why doesn't Red Wing have something like this?" Duerkop recalls asking him. "There are a lot of people who are alone and would like to do something with others."
The pastor replied, "Do something about it."
First United Methodist Church did something about it, serving its first community Thanksgiving Day meal in 1993. Duerkop took the lead and fellow members donated all the food, prepared it and then served the meal. Perhaps everyone was a little surprised when approximately 145 people showed up.
The Thanksgiving meal grew into a community event with volunteers from throughout the region over the years serving upwards of 300 meals. Individuals, couples and families come.
This is a traditional, made-from-scratch dinner. On average, volunteers may serve more than 200 pounds of turkey, 100 pounds of potatoes, several dozen squash, numerous pumpkin pies, homemade gravy, several pounds of homemade stuffing as well as other traditional Thanksgiving meal fixings.
"Over the last three Thanksgivings, the Red Wing First United Methodist Church Men's Cooking group has provided additional leadership for this event and desires to continue to offer to anyone who may be without a family gathering an opportunity for fellowship and a good old traditional Thanksgiving meal," parishioner and cooking group member Don Featherstone said.
This year's Thanksgiving meal will begin at 11:30 a.m. and volunteers expect they will continue serving until approximately 1 p.m.
People will gather in the Wesley Fellowship Hall dining room. Seatings will be staggered as needed, and meal serving numbers will be available at the entrance to the church, 403 East Ave. Reservations can be made by calling the church office at 651-388-3262.
There is no charge for the meal, yet donations will be accepted.
Volunteers are welcome to assist with the meal prep beginning at 2 p.m. today, Nov. 22, Featherstone said, and assistance is always welcome for serving and cleanup following the meal on Thursday, Nov. 23.

Dr. John P. Janovec, COO stated, "Our first Winter Test Run in the IGC Ranger Series 2000 Greenhouses, http://www.igcusa.com/, has been a complete success and clearly demonstrates that our Ranger Greenhouses can be utilized for year-round production. All four (4) of the production strains tested between 18% and 22% for THC with all four (4) passing the 'Microbial' test, but the mold, yeast, and other microorganisms tested for were absent from the samples."

- You must be between the ages of 1 and 120.
- All entries must be obviously made of Legos. Other materials are allowed but they must not overshadow the "Lego-ness" of the challenge.
- You must be able to submit a good photo(s) and/or video of your finished project by the date given for a specific project.
- All photos will be subject to possible use on my blog or my family members' blogs.
- Your project MUST BE YOURS! If you are young you may get help from a parent or older sibling. You may also make this a group project!
- Size is no object. Bigger isn't always better. Simple isn't always bad. Let your personality show!
- Finished Challenges will be judged by my family and myself. I will make the ultimate decision on who wins.
- To enter the challenge all you have to do is leave a comment saying that you are interested, and give your name (first name, last initial, and state you are in).
- Winners will be announced on my blog the day after entries close. The winner will then give me their address (privately) to receive a trophy or medal engraved with their name and entry info. The winner's address will NEVER be published or used for any other purpose but to send you your award.
Depending on the difficulty of each project I would like to present a new challenge every month to every 3 months. I will participate however, I will never enter my project into the contest.
This is going to be FUN!
My parents are overseeing this project.
You can visit my mom's blog to ask her any questions you have or present her with any concerns.

Craving more Twilight? Luckily, Stephenie Meyer knows her audience and loves them. That's why, on June 5, she'll be releasing the quirkily-titled The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner: An Eclipse Novella.

That's right! The book is Twilight-related! Clocking in at a slim 192-pages, the novella focuses on Bree Tanner, one of the newborn vampires created by evil Victoria in her war against the Cullens. Bree only gets to live for ten pages in Eclipse, but Meyer wrote this more in-depth tale about the teen-aged vampire when she was editing that book. The novella should whet fans appetites for the movie version of Eclipse, as a few details from the book made it into the film.
"The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner is pretty much contained in the last week of the newborns' existence before the big fight [between the Cullens and the vampire army] in the meadow in Eclipse," Meyer told USA Today. "It's the last week before Bree dies."
If you don't want to hit the bookstore to buy the book, it will also be available for free -- from June 7 to July 5 -- on BreeTanner.com in an effort to raise money for the American Red Cross.
Fans who are still waiting for Midnight Sun, Meyer's version of Twilight from Edward's perspective, will have to keep waiting. Meyer shuttered that book when it was leaked on the Internet in 2008 -- and doesn't plan to pick it up again.
"I think they're all waiting for Midnight Sun," Meyer told USA Today. "But I'm not writing about vampires right now."
Will you be reading The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner?
