Seven new cases of West Nile virus have been reported as of Aug. 23, bringing the state total of cases this year to 72. Milder temperatures and rain in many parts of the state provide conditions that may cause increased risk of mosquito bites and the potential for WNV transmission.
"Now that our state's extreme heat has lifted, more Oklahomans are likely to seek outdoor opportunities to enjoy the milder temperatures — attending school athletic events, working out in the yard, taking evening walks, or enjoying camping trips or excursions to the lake," said State Health Commissioner Dr. Terry Cline.
"But with the … rain in many areas of the state, there are now more opportunities for standing water for mosquitoes to breed. I urge everyone to continue to use insect repellent when outdoors and keep a can in your car or travel bag for reapplication as necessary."
Cline said late August and September are peak periods of WNV transmission in Oklahoma. The OSDH suggests using an EPA-registered insect repellent such as those containing DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus. Products with a higher percentage of DEET as an active ingredient generally give longer protection.
Permethrin sprayed on clothing provides protection through several washes, but the product should not be sprayed on skin. The OSDH offered these insect repellent recommendations:
• Products containing up to 30 percent DEET can be used on children.
• Use aerosols or pump sprays for skin and treating clothing because they provide even application. Use liquids, creams, lotions, towelettes or sticks for more precise application to exposed skin, e.g., face or neck.
• After your outdoor activity, wash repellent-treated skin with soap and water.
• Don't overapply or saturate skin or clothing.
• Don't apply to skin under clothing.
• Apply only as directed on the product label.
• Empty items in your yard that hold standing water so mosquitoes don't have a place to breed, and double check your window and door screens to make sure they are in good shape and can keep mosquitoes out.

As he prepared in 1987 to leave Boston, his once and future home, the Rev. Victor Carpenter was rueful that not all of the city's clergy shared his outspoken devotion to social justice. "The religious community is so quiet it is catatonic," he told the Globe.
His decades as a Unitarian Universalist minister were considerably less passive. In Boston, Norwell, South Africa, San Francisco, and Belmont, he spent about 50 years advocating on behalf of the poor and the disabled, supporting those who oppose war and comforting those diagnosed with HIV and AIDS. He preached in the pulpit against racism and demonstrated on the streets, losing count of how many times he was arrested for acts of civil disobedience.
"Every human being is the incarnation of the holy," he said at the 1991 Unitarian Universalist Association General Assembly, during a speech in which he spoke eloquently about disabilities and took to task the arrogance of ableism. "We all have the potential to live that holiness."
The Rev. Carpenter, who in 2011 received the association's award for Distinguished Service to the Cause of Unitarian Universalism, died of cancer last Friday in his Jamaica Plain home. He was 88.
Delivering sermons, "he was an extremely good speaker. He was articulate, he was clear," said the Rev. Carl Scovel, a friend since they met at Harvard Divinity School.
During protests, the Rev. Carpenter was equally articulate and often made sure the demonstrators treated with respect the police who arrived to cart them to jail.
"I asked him how many times he had been arrested. He said, 'I don't know, 15 or 20, I can't remember,' " said Scovel, a retired Unitarian Universalist minister who was pastor of King's Chapel in Boston.
The Rev. Carpenter did more, however, than make handcuffed trips to jails. After graduating from Harvard Divinity School, and initially serving as minister at First Parish of Norwell, he took his family to Cape Town for about five years during South Africa's apartheid era. Through his role there, he helped secretly bring money into the country to pay lawyers representing prisoners and to fund the then-banned African National Congress.
"He was willing to do anything for people in need, whether that was for people with disabilities or people who lived under oppressive and authoritarian regimes," said his son, Tyler of Jamaica Plain.
"And when he had disappointments, he always seemed to say, 'OK, here's the situation, and we will find a way beyond the setbacks. The setbacks are temporary, while the gains can be subtle and permanent,' " Tyler added.
Among the unanticipated challenges the Rev. Carpenter and his wife, Cathe, faced in South Africa were the births of their two daughters.
Gracia initially was diagnosed with autism, but a decade later, the diagnosis "was changed to severe retardation," he recalled in the 1991 speech. Some 13 months after Gracia's birth, Melissa was born during a worldwide rubella epidemic. Within three years she "was diagnosed as deaf and severely language and learning disabled," he said.
"We are parents of two daughters with disabilities," he added. "That fact has shaped us in every imaginable way and in some ways that are unimaginable."
The Rev. Carpenter also wrote about his family and the issues dear to him in "Stations of the Spirit," a collection of his essays, speeches, and other reflections. He said those unaffected by physical and mental disabilities often engage intentionally or unintentionally in a kind of discrimination that is akin to racism and sexism. "Ableism," he said, is "the last and most deeply embedded 'ism' to attack the psyche and demean the humanity of other human beings."
Victor Howard Carpenter Jr. was born in Boston, a son of Victor Sr. and the former Pauline Bradley Eames. A prominent dentist, his father invented what was known as an air-conditioned dental drill designed to reduce pain, and he counted among his patients Ted Williams.
The Rev. Carpenter attended Boston Latin School, graduated from Deerfield Academy, and went to Boston University, where his studies were interrupted by service in the Marine Corps during the Korean War. Serving in the Marines, he would later tell close friends, gave him a sense of self-worth and self-confidence.
While finishing his bachelor's degree at BU, he attended a church service and noticed a plea in the program for Sunday school teachers. After he volunteered, the pastor saw potential in him for something more, and arranged for the Rev. Carpenter to temporarily serve as the minister at a Universalist church in tiny North Fryeburg, Maine. The experience helped lead him to Harvard Divinity School.
"In his words, 'I loved the people and they loved me and I was hooked,' " Scovel said.
While at Harvard, the Rev. Carpenter met Catherine Ann Larrabee, who is known as Cathe, and was then a secretary at the divinity school. They married in 1957. She later was an education consultant.
During his studies, he served at Christ Church in Dorchester before being called to be the minister in Norwell after graduating.
They were in South Africa for about five years and helped found an organization to assist autistic children before leaving in 1967 for his ministry at First Unitarian Church in Philadelphia.
He subsequently was the minister at Arlington Street Church in Boston for more than a decade until 1987.
Moving to California, he was the minister at the First Unitarian Universalist Society of San Francisco and at Pacific Unitarian Church in Rancho Palos Verdes until 1994, when he returned to Massachusetts and served at First Church in Belmont.
The Rev. Carpenter officially retired in 2002 but served a series of interim ministries. "It was a running joke among my children, 'Oh, he's retiring again,' " Tyler said.
The call to inspire others never faded.
"He has seen the worst of humanity and has never lost faith. I find that to be truly inspirational," Tyler said. "He has seen far worse things than I have ever seen and has not lost faith."
The Rev. Carpenter's daughter Gracia died in 2005. In addition to his wife, Cathe, their son, Tyler, and their daughter, Melissa, all of whom live in Jamaica Plain, the Rev. Carpenter leaves his brother, John of Boston, and two grandchildren.
A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday in the First Church in Belmont.
"Victor was a wonderful conversationalist. He saw the humor in things," Scovel said. "We spent a lot of time at JP Licks when he finally retired, drinking coffee and just hooting at things — laughing at things we used to take seriously."
As the Rev. Carpenter's health failed, and some dementia set in, he retained his sharp humor, his wise perspective, and at times his keen memory. While visiting a month ago, Scovel began reciting Dylan Thomas's poem "Do not go gentle into that good night."
"And Victor said the whole thing — we said it together," Scovel recalled.
The Rev. Carpenter "had been talking about how boring it is to die — 'There are so many things you can't do,' " Scovel added. "I said, 'Victor, are you apprehensive about dying?' And he said, 'If the grim reaper showed up in that doorway right now, I'd say, "Honey, where have you been for so long?" '''Marquard can be reached at email@example.com.

I've just returned home after a weekend of unseasonally mild weather spent trail running to learn of Adrian Mitchell's death. The first message on the answerphone bore the news, the tone of the first words enough to know what was to follow.
I've known Adrian and his wife of 47 years, Celia, for a long time, and in one of those twists of life that make some think beyond coincidence to meaning and fate we've had much more than usual to do with each other these past few weeks. Celia and I have been engaged in wrapping up the Medical Aid for Iraq charity, of which we have both been officers since the first Gulf War. And I had been trying to get Adrian to pick up his journalistic pen again (his writing career began in journalism), specifically to write about David Tennant's Hamlet as he'd seen all the great Hamlets of the past half-century.
As it happened, Tennant injured his back, so he wasn't playing the part at the press night. Adrian said he was too ill to write anyway, spent the next day in hospital and was 'desperately trying to rest' – a notion that barely entered the vocabulary of a man who felt an almost moral imperative to fulfil every request to appear, no matter how remote the venue or small the audience. His unwillingness to rest, his reluctance to miss a reading almost certainly delayed the diagnosis and exacerbated the consequences of the pneumonia he developed this autumn. And as if his writing, his performance and his other work was not enough, he remained a tireless campaigner in the cause of peace.
In his last email to me, a week before his death, he wrote of 'trying to get Ian Hislop to set his hounds on the New Statesman for regularly printing full page colour adverts for BAE Systems and asking his investigators to trace the effect of the ads on the editorial side of the Statesman'. I had made Adrian poetry editor of the New Statesman when I edited the magazine in the 1990s, and his was an importance influence on my editorship well beyond poetry. From Benjamin Zephaniah to Brian Patten, and from Alex Comfort to Paul McCartney, Adrian's pages – like the man himself – sparkled with enthusiasm, commitment and verve. I'm glad that in what I never dreamed would turn out to be my final email to him, I took the time to tell him how those pages were among my proudest achievements at the Statesman.
The world will miss him, and my heart goes out to Celia and their family.
Postscript: I've just unearthed one of five poems that Robert Graves wrote in his seventies and Adrian published as part of a 'Poetry Extra' in the NS in 1994. It seems absolutely fitting to Adrian's memory:
How is it a man dies?
How is it a man dies
Before his natural death?
He dies from telling lies
To those who trusted him.
He dies from telling lies -
With closed ears and shut eyes.
Or what prolongs men's lives
Beyond their natural death?
It is their truth survives
Treading remembered streets
Rallying frightened hearts
In hordes of fugitives.

Adrian Mitchell
I've just returned home after a weekend of unseasonally mild weather spent trail running to learn of Adrian Mitchell's death. The first message on the answerphone bore the news, the tone of the first words enough to know what was to follow.

indeed very sad - I remember seeing him often in the late 60s, reciting 'Tell me lies about Vietnam', which had great impact on me.

The Robert Grave's poem is beautiful and yes, so fitting. I think these lines from 'So many different lengths of time', by Brian Patten are quite wonderful too at making some kind of sense of the senseless. (As is Neruda's original.)
So, how long does a man live after all?
And how much does he live while he lives?
We fret and ask so many questions -
then when it comes to us
the answer is so simple after all.
A man lives for as long as we carry him inside us,
for as long as we carry the harvest of his dreams,
for as long as we ourselves live,
holding memories in common, a man lives.

I also remember Adrian from his/your NS days. Adrian "The Messer" Mitchell challenged James Fenton to a public poetry contest to defend his (Fenton's) title as "the greatest poet in all England" which had just been bestowed on him by the New Yorker. Fenton the po-faced poetry professor made some comment about not being prepared to stand up and have Adrian Mitchell hurl insults at him. First round KO to The Messer. Yes we'll miss him.

Poignant now to read another of Brian Patten's poems from the same collection as "So many different lengths of time"
Tumour-ridden, the brackets close in.
They drop against the ends of names,
Not orderly, but any old how.
Henri, Mitchell, McGough - watch it mates,
The brackets, any day now.

Thanks Steve. Watch out for the Telegraph Obit - it was their brief that inspired him to produce 'Royalty is a neurosis - get well soon'.

With Adrian at the Peace Festival
if you saw him running it was because he'd spotted truth in the crowd and was chasing it if you saw him smiling it was at a good deed waving from a balcony if you saw him jumping it was in a playground with all the other daft kids on the block raising anarchy if you heard him singing it was girls and boys come out to play if you saw him laughing he was laughing he was really laughing if you saw him waving it was to say HELLO come in and join the feast of the human race if you saw him writing it was a love letter to the world on the day of its crucifixion if you saw him dancing it was to a Beatles tune about giving peace a chance and waiting for that moment to arrive

Brodeur gets goal, win for Devils against Hurricanesby Kurt Dusterberg
RALEIGH, N.C. -- In the big picture of this 48-game season, the New Jersey Devils needed their 4-1 win against the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday night.
But never mind that the two points pushed them over the eighth-place playoff line in the Eastern Conference. On a night when the Devils snapped a three-game skid, they were celebrating goaltender Martin Brodeur for any number of reasons: for coming back strong from an injury, for saving the team in a fast-and-furious first period -- but most of all, for scoring a goal.
In the midst of a scoreless first period, the Devils took a delayed penalty. When New Jersey defenseman Marek Zidlicky was whistled for hooking, Carolina goaltender Dan Ellis headed to the bench for the extra attacker.
In the meantime, Brodeur swept Patrick Dwyer's shot to the corner, where it was retrieved by Carolina's Jordan Staal. But Staal's diagonal pass to Tim Gleason at the left point careened off the boards and all the way into the opposite net.
With Hurricanes forward Alex Semin already in the box, Brodeur earned a power-play goal as the last New Jersey player to touch the puck. And there was a degree of absurdity about all of it as the game wore on: Until Jeff Skinner broke up the shutout with 8:33 remaining, everyone thought Brodeur might have another feather in his cap.
"It could have been a game-winner," Brodeur said with a laugh, "but I got scored on."
As with most goals own-goals, there was some confusion trying to sort everything out.
"As you can see, we didn't really know what to do," said Adam Henrique, who scored the second New Jersey goal. "We didn't know who to go celebrate with."
In the aftermath of the goal, Brodeur found it amusing that Ilya Kovalchuk figured it all out quickly.
"He right away knew," said Brodeur, who was playing his first game after missing the past 13 with a pinched nerve in his neck. "I wasn't sure what happened. I kind of made a poke check on Dwyer coming in. I got tangled up and I looked at Staal.
"He made a pass and I wasn't sure if there was a guy there, so I went for the pass. After that, when it cleared the zone, I kind of looked behind me. I wasn't really looking (at the puck). When the puck went in the net, I was like, 'What happened there?' I didn't know we had a delayed penalty or anything. So it was kind of a surprise. Kovy said, 'You scored the goal!' With the Russian accent too."
There also were conventional goals. With the Devils shutting down the Hurricanes in the second period, Henrique knocked in a rebound at 12:52. Peter Harrold followed his own shot 48 seconds later with a backhander that beat Ellis. Andrei Loktionov scored from the slot with 3:06 left in the third.
Taking a 3-0 lead into the third period, the Devils had the game in hand, in part because they limited the Hurricanes to three shots in the second period.
As amused as the Devils were after their convincing win, the mood was grim in the other locker room. The Hurricanes have lost five in a row (0-4-1), outscored 17-6 over that stretch.
Coach Kirk Muller was visibly upset with his team.
"We've got some things to fix, but I don't think it's systematic at all," Muller said. "You know what, we're not going to accept this. You've got to work, and if you do, you get your ice time. You've got to help the guys who have been going every night. That's the bottom line."
Muller was referring, in part, to the Hurricanes' lack of scoring punch outside of the top line of Jiri Tlusty-Eric Staal-Alex Semin. Muller has said many times he is waiting for contributions from some of his depth players. His patience is beginning to wear thin.
"I'm disappointed tonight," Muller said. "It's time we don't piggy-back off of some of the guys that have been playing well all year. We need more effort from some guys. We got outworked in the second. They took over and that's not going to work.
"Some guys need to look in the mirror and get their work boots on and get their game going. This is playoff hockey now. Everything is cranked up, everything is harder, and you have to earn your space."
For all the tension generated by the Hurricanes' loss, the Devils were basking in glow of a win -- and a little bit of levity, the kind of moment that takes the pressure off during a Stanley Cup Playoff chase.
At the same time, no one lost sight of Brodeur's real contribution. The goal was nice, but it was about the way the 40-year-old played in his 1,205th regular-season game, his 665th win.
"They had a big push in about a three or four minutes span, so it was critical that he made some big saves there and allowed us to get our composure back," Devils coach Peter DeBoer said. "It's a big lift for us. Marty's our starting goaltender and he's the best of all time. It's a luxury to have him back there for a lot of different reasons."
Henrique said, "It was all him in the first period. They were putting a ton of pressure on us. He scores a power-play goal. There's not much else you can ask from a goalie. He didn't miss a beat out there."
If there was an intersection Tuesday night where Brodeur's greatness crossed with his simple turn of fortune, Kovalchuk found a way to say it simply.
"The good players always have good luck -- and he did on that goal for sure. He deserved that one."

The days of reading reviews from afar and pining for Austin are over. These days, you don't have to go to the South By Southwest festival in Texas to enjoy it. Here is a collection of sites that can help you imagine you're there.
Follow Star music Ben Rayner's daily coverage from Austin, including news and reviews, here at thestar.com.
Concerts streamed live from NPR
NPR Music's feature site is probably the best out there. They're holding their showcase Wednesday night, the opening night of the music portion of the festival, and it will all be streamed live. Performers include Spoon, Sharon Jones And The Dap-Kings and The Walkmen.
NPR Music throws a daytime party Thursday, the performances from which will also be streamed live. Smith Westerns and Surfer Blood are among the bands playing.
The folks who run NPR's All Songs Considered podcast seem to live all year for SXSW. Their latest podcast previews the festival. If you like to debate music, sign on to the All Songs Considered blog.
Spin offers free SXSW sampler
You'll find many offers of free downloads in advance of the fest. Some are not available from Canadian IP addresses. Spin's offering, Austin Power, is and has tracks from some of the most interesting acts, including Titus Andronicus and Toronto's own F---ed Up.
If you're not familiar with the preponderance of indie performers at SXSW, you'll also want to check out Spin's slideshow selection of 50 "must-hear" bands.
(Legal) Bit Torrent downloads
"Legal" and "Bit Torrent" don't often go together. They do here. You can download dozens upon dozens of tracks from bands performing at SXSW 2010. Most are from acts you've probably never heard of. But that's part of the fun — there are bound to be some gems in there somewhere.
Rolling Stone goes twitter insane
Rolling Stone reviewer Chris Weingarten will be tweeting from 100 shows. Weingarten has had a fair amount of practice with 140-character reviews. He wrote 1,000 of them in a year for a project he called 1000TimesYes.
SXSW radio stream
The festival's official site isn't much use unless you're attending. The one exception is its music player, which plays a steady stream of SXSW bands.

I've been having some adventures in sprouting as well as enjoying sugar snap peas. I didn't mean to combine the two. I had some of the last sugar snap peas of the season in a plastic bag in my fridge. I took out a handful today to share with the minion and noticed a few of them had sprouted! I don't recommend actively trying to sprout peas this way but I thought it was interesting that it happened. Science!

The Sprouts Have Sprouted
I have been trying to sprout some mung bean sprouts in my windowsill recently. They went from looking like this:
To looking like this:
In just 3 days! This is a great project to do with kids also since it doesn't require much attention span.
First you take 1/4 cup of whatever you're sprouting (beans, alfalfa, lentils, ect.) and put in a bowl with 1/4 cup white vinegar and 1 cup water. Let this sit while you take a large canning jar, lid ring, and a square of cheese cloth and boil them to sterilize. Let them boil for about 10 minutes. Take them out carefully, they will be hot. Then drain your sprouting medium and put it into the jar and fill with water. Cover the jar opening with the cheesecloth and screw the ring on. Let this sit overnight.
Next morning, drain the liquid out through the cheesecloth at the opening of the jar. Now you will have to fill the jar and swish the water around 3-4 times per day. Be sure you fully drain it after each swirl. That's why our jar is propped in a bowl in the photos.
After about 3 days they will be ready to eat. If you want to remove the seed coats, empty the jar into a pan of water and the seed coats will surface. We didn't do this and just ate the seed coats too. These will store in the fridge for a week and you can freshen them right before eating by rinsing them in cold water and draining.
Multiplying Tomatoes…Again
Is that using exponents? Anyways, I posted before about trying to get new tomato plants out of some branches I had pruned from my existing plants. I thought the one I just stuck into the ground wouldn't take, but it seems that it did.
I had also started a branch in a jar of water waiting for it to sprout roots before planting it, and after about a week, it has sprouted roots.
So I planted it in the ground and gave it a good watering. Here it is:
Hopefully all these transplants will keep us in fresh tomatoes for a while!

WellCare and Long-Acting Injectable Antipsychotics
January 27, 2017
The discovery and development of atypical antipsychotics has unequivocally improved the quality of life for people living with schizophrenia. Atypical antipsychotics like aripiprazole, brand name Abilify, and paliperidone, brand name Invega, have been clinically shown to be effective in the treatment of schizophrenia. Assuming patient adherence, these medications dramatically reduce the symptoms of schizophrenia, thus reducing the occurrence of relapse and hospitalization.
Patient adherence is a major obstacle in treating schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder, as well as other chronic, severe mental illnesses. Poor adherence may be the single biggest factor in the ineffectiveness of treatment for schizophrenia. Long-acting injectable antipsychotics like Abilify Maintenna and Invega Sustenna have been shown to be effective in improving patient adherence. This improved adherence leads to better health outcomes, and a decrease in relapse and hospitalization.
Managed Care Organizations, or MCOs, provide for the delivery of Medicaid health benefits. There are five different MCOs that manage the delivery of Medicaid health benefits in the state of Kentucky: Aetna, Anthem, CareSource, Passport, and WellCare. Each of these MCOs has covered the long-acting injectable antipsychotics Abilify Maintenna and Invega Sustenna, until now. WellCare has opted to no longer include these clinically effective medications on their Preferred Drug List (PDL).
WellCare has stated that their decision to no longer include Abilify Maintenna and Invega Sustenna has been made for "psychoeconomic reasons". Psychoeconomics, also called behavioral finance, is a rather jargony term that simply means "economics" as applied in the behavioral health field. It is another way of them saying that the removal of Abilify Maintenna and Invega Sustenna from their PDL is an economic decision, one made without the consideration of health outcomes for patients who take these medications.
WellCare has stated that patients who currently take these medications will be "grandfathered in" indefinitely. "Indefinitely" is a term that can be interpreted as being for as long as the patients desire, implying a commitment to continuity of care, but it is a non-binding term that simply means that they will be covered until an unspecified date.
WellCare has stated that they value transparency, and yet they use amorphous language like "psychoeconomics" and "indefinitely" in describing this change in formulary. Their stated reasons for this change in formulary have been ambiguous at best. This is the opposite of "transparency".
While WellCare will continue to include some long-acting injectable antipsychotics in their PDL, these medications are not interchangeable. What works for one patient may not work for another. The decision as to what medications are most effective for treating specific patients should be made by doctor and patient, not by WellCare.
WellCare is an MCO based in Tampa, not Kentucky. The decision as to which long-acting injectable antipsychotics they will include in their PDL is being made in a Tampa office that is concerned primarily with WellCare's bottom line and shareholder concerns, not with the effectiveness of the treatment of patients in Kentucky. Ironically, this decision will likely hurt WellCare financially in the long run, as the increase in relapse and patient rehospitalization will probably prove to be more costly than simply covering these proven, clinically effective medications. This does even not include the human cost, as ineffective treatment not only leads to relapse and hospitalization, but also leads to a dramatic increase in the risk for patient death by suicide.
This change in formulary will have a dramatically negative impact on health outcomes for people living with schizophrenia in Kentucky. It is not hyperbolic to say that it will even cost lives. And it will do so for no other reason than that it may, not will but may, improve WellCare's bottom line in a rather insignificant way.
Mental Health America of Kentucky is working with WellCare to address these issues. If you know anyone who is affected by the new formulary please contact us at 859-684-7778 or by email at email@example.com.

The unique challenges faced by women who stammer are underappreciated, suggests Julia Ammon.
Statistics show that there is around one female to every four males who stammer as adults. Speech and language therapist, Rachel Everard, who is a woman who stammers, has noted that spontaneous recovery may be a factor. "Research shows that almost an equal number of young boys and girls start stammering, however, for some reason, a lot more little girls seem to spontaneously recover."
There is little information on the unique challenges faced by adult women who stammer. Simply, women who stammer seem to face all the everyday challenges of being female, while also dealing with the added difficulties which come with being a person who stammers.
As women, we all know the difficulties that come with our gender; probably most notably having to deal with our monthly menstrual cycles. We are aware that our emotional and physical state can be ruled by our monthly cycles but what effects does it have on our speech? In people who stammer, often their frequency or degree of stammering can be affected by their physical or emotional state. According to John Harrison's 'stuttering hexagon', stammering is not only a physical act but rather an interactive system which involves our physical behaviours, emotions, perceptions, beliefs, intentions and physiological responses.
However, research has shown that even for women who do not stammer, the emotional and physical effects of menstruation can have an influence on speech. Speech disfluencies in all the women studied, both those who stammered and those who did not, were greater during pre-menstruation and were fewer during ovulation. The feelings of increased anxiety during pre-menstruation and the surge in confidence during ovulation were seen as contributing factors in this difference. (Silverman, 1975) This underlines the role which biological factors play in speech.
Gender roles
Another way in which women who stammer are adversely challenged is related to gender roles. Until the latter part of the 20th century, women were less likely to work outside the home and were more likely to maintain a supportive role in relationships. In regards to stammering, this traditional role allowed females who stammered to perhaps avoid speaking situations and become dependent on their partners to speak. In this way, women may have been able to hide their stammer from others, but still had negative inner thoughts regarding stammering.
Similarly, the role of mother may also have an emotional impact on women who stammer. As the primary caregiver, they may worry about how their speech will impact their children. Often there is the underlying fear that their children will develop a stammer. Although stammering does seem to cluster in families, where a parent has a stammer it is still unlikely that any of their children would stammer. I believe this is the most paramount concern for any parent who has a stammer no matter what their gender.
Lastly, in addition to the pressures felt by women in traditional roles, women who stammer also face career challenges. A survey conducted on over 200 people who stammer showed that 70% felt that having a stammer decreases one's chances of being hired or promoted. (Hood, 2004)
Women who stammer face the double whammy of not only having a stammer, but also feeling the same career pressures as other women in male dominated working environments. As one woman I spoke with said, "Women who stammer may seem more of a risk to some employers and therefore may be less likely to be promoted compared to her male counterpart." Perhaps for this reason, women who stammer seem to have a tendency to go into professions which are primarily female dominated and help others, such as speech therapy and teaching. (Kari Kelso, 2002)
Whether as a career or just volunteering, women who stammer seem to take on an active role in helping others in stammering treatments. I believe that helping others in this way empowers women who stammer, and people who stammer in general, to pursue their goals in all aspects of life. Personally, I am an active member of the McGuire Programme.
Although women who stammer are a minority within a minority, in more ways than one, they need not be silent. By helping others and promoting awareness we can have our voices heard and bring about change.

In my eyes, there is nothing more sickening than scam artists that prey upon our senior citizens. This segment of society is especially vulnerable to fraud, because of their trusting nature and polite manner. They are often uninformed of how technology can be used for nefarious purposes. Scams have become so sophisticated that often entire bank accounts are depleted in the blink of an eye. Senior Citizens nest eggs and life savings can vanish without a trace.
Without question, fleecing the elderly is big business, so to protect my long-time clients and senior citizen friends, I have listed four of the largest and most devastating Elder Scams that are currently being utilized. This is only a small portion of the dozens of ways by which predator's steal from senior citizens, but these scams seem to be among the most predominant.
Reverse Mortgage Scams –
Telemarketing Scams –
These usually target individuals, especially woman who are age 60 or older. The call generally sounds like an unsolicited sales call, offering you free prizes, trips, healthcare products or inexpensive home improvements or services. Sometimes the caller will claim to be contacting you on behalf of your family or friends. Tactics include pressure, "Offer only good for the next few minutes," or over the phone credit card request, "We need a small deposit to ship your prize."
Funeral and cemetery scams -
The government consumer protection agency has issued a warning about an influx of emails that trick unsuspecting individuals into clicking on links which download "malware," such as viruses, to their computers. The bogus emails have a subject line that states "funeral notification," and it appears to be from a funeral home that offers condolences, sometimes a date for a service, and invites a reader to click on a link for more information about a "celebration of your friend's life service." The malware then targets the customers' financial information, credit card numbers, bank accounts.
Investment Schemes –
These may include advance fee schemes, vacation property schemes, pyramid schemes, prime bank note schemes, and letter fraud schemes. Get rich Quick Ploys are as old as time, Ponzi schemes have existed forever. Using the internet or telemarketing are just the most recent way to zero in on intended prey.
These are simply a small sampling of the dozens of targeted fraud-related schemes that are created every day to target senior citizens. If something doesn't seem right the FBI and the Federal Trade Commission have easy to use websites that gives you everything you need to know about consumer fraud and senior citizen schemes.

For decades, grocery retailers have only offered a handful of pet products, if any at all. Only the most popular and mainstream brands such as Ralston Purina and Meow Mix® made the cut. Now we're seeing Rachael Ray™ Nutrish®, Blue Buffalo®, and Freshpet® taking over the aisle. What's really going on behind the shift?
Ownership trends.
According to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), pet ownership fell 6.4 percent in total number of dogs and cats from 2007 to 2012. However, we've all witnessed the emergence of pet services, from mobile grooming to pet funerals, as well as the explosion of gourmet and holistic food brands.
In a recent article for Grocery Headquarters, Seth Mendelson explains that consumers "are treating these animals as part of their families. That means a burning desire to give their pets the best of everything, all designed to make them more healthy and happy." He goes on to state that owners are "only too eager to pay more for products that they perceive as better for their animals."
This eagerness is reflected in statistics compiled by the American Pet Products Association (APPA). According to their U.S. Pet Industry Spending Figures & Future Outlook, total pet expenditures rose from $41.2 billion in 2007 to $53.33 billion in 2012*, the same period in which pet ownership fell.
What does this mean for the grocery retailer?
Given that more and more specialty brands have entered the market and pet owners seem willing to pay a premium for the best (even as ownership has slightly declined), we'd expect to see an expansion in the grocery retail pet aisle across the board. Not necessarily so.
Some industry experts fear that in the quest for manufacturers to build a better mousetrap, retailers are inundated with too much duplication in the market. How many different brands of dog leashes or pet bowls can an aisle support?
Now factor in online sales growth. Petfood Industry states that online sales of dog and cat food in the U.S. rose 15 percent in 2016, totaling $1 billion.
Both of these trends are causing some grocery retailers to rethink the pet aisle; while some are embracing the growth, others are scaling back and minimizing selections.
How in-store promotion can play a role.
Whichever camp your store falls into, shelf-edge marketing can help boost your pet aisle sales. Tags and signs from Bacompt can provide descriptive product information on the benefits of specialty items, while also encouraging impulse buying from shoppers who otherwise might purchase online (possibly converting them to loyal shoppers).
Contact us to learn how we can help increase your pet aisle profits.
P.S. The AVMA National Pet Week is May 7 – 13.
*Food and supplies account for approximately two-thirds of total expenditures, while vet care, animal purchases, and grooming/boarding services account for the remaining third.

Nassau County police officers and Hicksville firefighters earned recognition from Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano after saving three dogs from a house fire in Hicksville on Jan. 26. The ceremony was held Feb. 2 at the Nassau County Emergency Center and also featured Acting Police Commissioner Thomas Krumpter, as well as homeowner Jita Klat and two of her dogs.
Emergency personnel responded to a fire at the Georgia Street house owned by Klat and husband Noah at about 9 a.m. Police officers Andrew Massa, Michael Rothwell and Steven Tornetta, and Police Medic Benjamin Butt, could hear a dog barking inside. According to Mangano, Massa kicked in the front door and the officers, after crawling on the floor to avoid the thick smoke, found Inca, a 2½-year-old husky mix, unconscious in the living room. Massa and Tornetta carried her out and Butt administered oxygen. Tornetta then drove her to a Westbury veterinarian for a check-up.
Meanwhile the Hicksville Fire Department had also responded. Learning that there were two more dogs in the house, firefighters and ex-captains Gary Lewis and Joseph DiFronzo forced open the back door and, after a search, found Sasha, a 2-year-old Greek pekingese, and Chloe, a 10-year-old border collie. The two were hiding under the kitchen table. They were led out of the house and firefighter and EMT Jennifer Sheehan aided Butt in treating the dogs, who were not injured.
All of these named responders, along with Hicksville Fire Department 3rd Assistant Chief William Efinger, who directed operations to quickly douse the flames, earned certificates at the ceremony.

History has proven almost every single time that a title based off of another franchise or form of media has never been done well or at least was not enjoyed by the community as a whole. However, in some rare instances this generation and in the past there have been several releases that broke the mold, paving a way for licensed games of the future to truly shine. Is this a new renaissance in gaming, or is history doomed to repeat itself? The original round table of Press Pause Radio will discuss this and much more on Episode 60! TACO BOAT!

It does not exert only as property value as a possession. It acts only in emotion, never in reality because not likely start to what the role, or as is regrettable throw it away to say, is a mysterious mascot, there was a charm, such as a curse. It does not act on the plus. But it does not act on the negative. Physical to take money and time.
I can not wait what you need if you wait. Covet clothes and food. It is the Atonement itself, there was no salvation.
The drive to oblivion was the most is an excellent method, impossible way. Method of runner-up is, to find a new mascot. Those physically and realistic also bring about a positive effect also on the emotional.
It is equal to the obsessed, and still there is no there devoted all. No piece of spirituality of giving to those give, would Sacchan shed all like the wind.
Of course, it ends. suddenly.

Maya, ZBrush, LightWave & 3DS Max
Maya. It is a 3D computer graphics software. It is used to create interactive 3D applications, including video games, animated film, TV series, or visual effects.
Zbrush. It is a digital sculpting tool that combines 3D/2.5D modeling, texturing and painting. ZBrush is used for creating high-resolution models (able to reach 40+ million polygons) for use in movies, games, and animations, by companies ranging from ILM to Electronic Arts. ZBrush uses dynamic levels of resolution to allow sculptors to make global or local changes to their models. ZBrush is most known for being able to sculpt medium to high frequency details that were traditionally painted in bump maps. The resulting mesh details can then be exported as normal maps to be used on a low poly version of that same model. They can also be exported as a displacement map, although in that case the lower poly version generally requires more resolution. Or, once completed, the 3D model can be projected to the background, becoming a 2.5D image (upon which further effects can be applied). Work can then begin on another 3D model which can be used in the same scene.
LightWave. It is a 3D computer graphics software developed by NewTek. It has been used in film, television, motion graphics, digital matte painting, visual effects, video games development, product design, architectural visualizations, virtual production, music videos, pre-visualizations and advertising.
3DsMax. It is a professional 3D computer graphics program for making 3D animations, models, games and images. It is frequently used by video game developers, many TV commercial studios and architectural visualization studios. It is also used for movie effects and movie pre-visualization. To its modeling and animation tools, the latest version of 3DsMax also features shaders (such as ambient occlusion and subsurface scattering), dynamic simulation, particle systems, radiosity, normal map creation and rendering,global illumination, a customizable user interface, and its own scripting language.

Found somewhere you like? Fill out the registration form and additional information form and let's get moving!
When you move in…
All tenants deposits are protected using the government-approved Tenancy Deposit Scheme so you are sure your deposit is secure.
The critical thing is that you must let us know immediately should maintenance be required. We have a 24 hour call out service for all emergencies, depending on your situation. It's important you take time to read and understand your responsibilities. They're laid out in the tenancy agreement. For example: gardens must be maintained by the Tenant and the property must be kept clean and tidy at all times.
Should you wish to terminate your agreement at the end of your initial fixed term, a minimum of one month's notice must be given in writing.
At the end of the tenancy, you arrange an appointment with us to carry out a final inspection of the property. A 'check out' fee of £36 inc VAT is payable by the tenant and is normally deducted from your deposit at the end of your tenancy. We will then arrange for your deposit to be returned. This is normally within three working days, subject to the inspection.
Following the check out, you will be given an opportunity to agree the condition of the property before any deductions can be made from your deposit. Once both you and the landlord are in agreement, your deposit can be finalised. If both parties are unable to agree, the dispute will be dealt with by the Tenancy Deposit Scheme who will reach an independent decision.
Should you have any questions relating to your application or any property, please ask one of us who will be very happy to help. We guarantee we will offer you clear and friendly advice throughout your tenancy. We look forward to receiving your application!

This is Valeria Prokopenko, she is 21, an unemployed law graduate, and she wants to be Mayor of the Ukrainian city of Odessa.
It is believed the video below was leaked by a rival candidate who wanted to damage Prokopenko's credibility in the build up to Sunday's election. If that is true the suspected rival may well have scored an own goal.
The 21-year-old can be seen strutting around an apartment, seductively putting on makeup, and flashing a hint of skin to the camera.
Prokopenko has responded by claiming the video was part of an application for the 'Miss Olymp' beauty contest and that she never expected the footage to be seen publicly.
Obviously it is not fair to judge her candidacy based on the footage, she may well have some damn good policies, but it will certainly have done her no harm with one demographic.
Hopefully Donald trump isn't getting any ideas.

Water plantain is not, as you might expect from the name one of the plantains such as Plantago major from which we get Isphagol. It is a member of the Alismaceae family. The leaves of water plantain are similar to those of plantain although the rest of the plant is markedly different. This seems not to have deterred the ancient herbalists when they named it. The subspecies which grows in
China, var. orientalis has been the subject of research in China as it has long been used in their traditional system of medicine. Most of the research has supported the traditional uses. In China it is called Ze-Zie. The name Alisma is thought to come from the Celtic word, alis, which means water, while plantago-aquatica, means water plantain, so that is how it gets its English name.
The fresh leaves and roots are toxic, but the toxins disappear when heated so are fine cooked or dried. The seeds are subject to some medical confusion, at least in terms of their reported traditional uses, as they are said to aid conception and to promote sterility.
Water plantain grows in damp ground, ditches, and on the edges of shallow ponds and other such bodies of water. They are native to
Europe, including Britain, Asia and North America, and can grow to heights of just over three feet tall. It flowers between June and August, and the seeds ripen between July and September.
The root is rich in starch and maybe eaten if well-cooked, and the leaves can be eaten if boiled very well. The leaves have antibacterial properties as well as cholesterol lowering ones, and promote sweat which is especially good in some fevers. They also have an effect of lowering blood pressure, and used externally, fresh are a counter-irritant, like nettles, to the pains of rheumatism and arthritis. They have been used to treat dysentery, kidney stones, and gravel. A fresh leaf poultice is put on swellings and bruises.
In some countries the dried stem bases are grated and eaten for heartburn and digestive problems, washed down with plenty of water. The seed has astringent properties and is used to stop bleeding.
The essential oil extracted from the root has antibacterial properties, reduces cholesterol leves and has also been used as a diuretic and to lower high blood pressure. The root has also been used to protect the liver and kidneys and to cure diarrhoea. It was once believed to be a cure for rabies, and was also called Mad Dog weed. However there is no clinical evidence to support this use.
The bitter juice which can be expressed from the plant is a diuretic; the bruised leaves can cause the skin to blister. However in the
US it was formerly used as an antidote to rattlesnake bites.
Few studies have been carried out on the Alisma plantago-aquatica, or Water plantain that is common there. Perhaps this weedy plant hides more than we could have thought.

What are we celebrating?
We are celebrating the wondrous joy that comes with a sound and peaceful night's sleep sans the meds! Since my brief bout with roofing, I have been forced to rely on heavy pain meds to sleep at night. This week I have managed to successfully sleep three or four nights without so much as a tyl.enol. I hate taking any sort of medication (except of course my best friend metformin!), so to be able to function without anything is a huge relief!
I thought we would celebrate with a picture or two from that fateful day at the zoo...
A sweet little baby tiger
My favorite for the day. We hunted everywhere to find the newest critter before finally coming across this gorgeous anteater!
And for a little irony, a stork. I did have a brief chat with him, but he kept his back turned the whole time. Big surprise huh?
Argh! Blogger, you are getting on my nerves!
See what the rest of the class is showing

Oh HOORAY! I'm so happy to see some shots from this, and these photos feel so YOU.ReplyDelete
You've had a lot thrown at you lately, haven't you? That computer was the final straw, I think. Really. Really. And I'm so glad you took care to get something for yourself. It really honors something deep, (something aside from "shopping is hope for the future!") to tend to your creative needs, and this was very necessary, I think.
And I could continue the photography analogies for days! There's a young woman in my 365 group (ahem). She's young and enthusiastic and *passionate* about photography. She has a good eye, for sure. But like many beginners, it's all about the blur for her. So much so that her photos lack clarity. I'm glad you're focusing (har har) on clarity. Broadening your view. And didn't you tell me this lens was manual focus? All the better. Slow down and look around. XO
These are beautiful images! Sending lots of love, light, and wishes for peace for your way. Life happens an we'll see you when it's going a bit easier on you!ReplyDelete

Well no wonder you've been absent around here, you've had more than your fair share of reasons! I hope the wee ones are okay after the surgery, and that your other other baby (RIP macbook) finds a good home in computer heaven or the genius bar of your local Apple store, where it can be revived. In the meantime, at least, you can play around with your new lens! I have a 28mm that I only use occasionally, but every time I think about selling it, I just can't. Which one did you get? xoReplyDelete
you've been missed around these parts! i'm sorry to hear the reason for your absense, but i trust you little one had a speedy recovery and is back to his wild self. the blue screen of death is is a tragic end that i hope is symbolic of the rest of your troubles finally coming to an end. i know you will find clarity by looking at your life through a new lens. xoReplyDelete
Love the pics that have come out of your new lens and I'm also with you. I've been taking things a bit too seriously and need to just let loose a little more. Everything is so regimented and structured and every minor detail is micromanaged to the nth degree. Looking forward to reading about your path of progressReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 13, 2015 at 12:10 AM
I was wondering about you. I hope all is well at home. as well as it can be. and yeah to your new lens. your analogy really spoke to me. I was wondering myself how much of being present and focused locks you into a little bubble and makes you lose the bigger picture. looking forward to your wide angle view of the world xoxoReplyDelete

- Only two miles from the Daily Planet and it might as well be another planet!
Southside, known better by its occupants as Suicide Slum, is a neighborhood in Metropolis that has been known to have a much higher rate of crime than the rest of the city. It is a down market area where many who cannot afford the apartments and penthouses of the main city live, the property prices of the Slums being lower due to the corruption.
Suicide Slum has been, at various times, the stomping ground of several superheroes, including the Guardian (who protected the Newsboy Legion) and Black Lightning. The human personification of the New God, Black Racer, lied paralyzed in a hospital located in the Slums, which is also where he was eventually murdered. Darkseid's lackey, Sleez, operated here for a time, until he was slain. It is also the home of Jose Delgado, a schoolteacher who is also a masked vigilante Gangbuster.
Suicide Slum was reputed as a lost cause that many Metropolis residents believe not even Superman can do anything about. When she was a child, Lateesha Johnson witnessed a local gang murder a group of kids playing basketball for no apparent reason. Because of this, she became a target of the gang, fearing she would tell the police of what she saw. After Clark Kent learns from a police officer that Suicide Slum residents believe that Superman selfishly ignores the neighborhood's increasing crime rate, he visits the area for the first time as Superman. In a vigilante fashion, the Man of Steel targets every known criminal in the neighborhood by destroying their illegal weapons stocks in a single night. However, an unnamed arms dealer, who works for an enigmatic "Mr. L.," supplies more unregistered guns to the neighborhood's criminals, including the gang who is targeting Johnson. Lateesha was critically shot, but fortunately Clark Kent was there during the shootout, and without bothering to switch to his alter-ego or attempt to catch her attackers, he rushes Lateesha to a hospital, where she is saved just in time.
Later, Kent published a column about the incident, catching the attention of it's readers, who share the columnist's feelings. A local philanthropist goes out of his way to help Lateesha's family relocate after she recovers, and offers her mother employment at his company. More officers from Metropolis P.D. have been assigned to patrol the neighborhood. Even Superman has been reported doing patrols of the Slums since then.
Later, the superhero Steel, John Henry Irons, establishes his base of operations at an old warehouse in the area.

Poll: 'Dishonest,' 'socialist' top word lists for Clinton, Sanders
Hillary Clinton's image among all Americans is decidedly negative, while Bernie Sanders' is slightly more mixed, according to the results of a new Gallup poll released Tuesday.
When asked what comes to mind when they think of the former secretary of state, roughly one-in-five Americans — 21 percent — used the words "dishonest," "liar," "don't trust her" and "poor character." Another 9 percent said some variant of "dislike her," followed by 8 percent who said they "like her" and 7 percent who said she is "capable of being president" and "qualified." But an equal share of 7 percent called Clinton "criminal," "crooked" and said "she belongs in jail." The balance of the responses above 3 percent for Clinton reflect largely mixed public opinion, with 5 percent deeming her "experienced," and 3 percent each calling her a "good politician," "strong" and "wouldn't be good for this country." Overall, 51 percent of Americans expressed a net negative opinion of Clinton, while just 29 percent were positive and 6 percent were neutral.
The top response for Bernie Sanders, who has long professed to be a democratic socialist: "socialist" (12 percent). Responses for Sanders were not as unified in one direction as they were with his opponent, with 6 percent calling the 74-year-old Vermont senator "older" or "aged." Another 5 percent used the word "favorable," while yet another 5 percent called him a "fresh face," using the words "new ideas" and "change for the better."
Still, Americans had some fairly negative things to say about him as well — 4 percent used the words "crazy," "delusional," "idiot" or "unrealistic," while another 4 percent used the word "unfavorable."
Sanders' largely split public image is also reflected in 3 percent of those who said they liked him and other equal share of people who called him a "communist," a frequent refrain of Republican front-runner Donald Trump. Overall, 20 percent of Americans expressed a net negative opinion of Sanders, while 26 percent were positive and 32 percent were neutral.
Gallup conducted the telephone poll between Feb. 13-14, surveying 1,014 adults nationwide with an overall margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.

A SOAP note, for those not in medicine, is a progress note to assess and evaluate a patient. First, one starts with the subjective, what the patient tells the provider. Objective includes things that the provider notices and provide more information about the physical state including physical exam, vital sign, imaging, and lab reports. Assessment and plan are more straight forward. This is a personal progress note…
S: Feeling well today.
Back aches, relieved by rest.
Infrequent voiding, poor PO intake
Occasional palpitations--worsened by pager, improved by alcohol.
Denies chest pain
No shortness of breath
Ambulating rapidly
O: Vitals:
Pulse 110
Temp 37
General: alert, questionable orientation to time of day or day of week, smiling and grimacing simultaneously, pressured speech.
Denies suicidal or homicidal ideation—usually. Mood labile
Lungs: Clear
Abdomen: hyperactive bowel sounds
Glucose 60
A: 26 y/o G0 s/p day #34 OB/GYN internship initiation.
Patient making questionable progress in her treatment course resulting in exhaustion and occasional idiocy.
Condition improving.
Tachycardia secondary to physical exertion and anxiety.
Hypoglycemia due to poor oral intake
Residency is a condition that can only be cured with time, 4 years on average.
Treatment guidelines include constant focus, increased caloric intake (perhaps a bag of peanuts in the pocket or a granola bar that can be rapidly consumed), increased fluid intake and very comfortable shoes.
Breathing is also advised
Will reassess

Talk to just about anyone who has been using essential oils and they have probably heard about that blend of oils with a trademarked name that means "burglar" or "robber". At about $44 for 1/2 oz. retail price it can get expensive quickly if you use a lot. If you already have a good collection of single essential oils you probably have everything you need to make your own "robber" blend.
What makes this blend so useful is that all of the oils used in it have antibacterial, antiseptic, antiviral and antifungal properties. Several also support healthy respiratory and immune systems. Plus it just plain smells good!
To make custom blends you need a clean, dark glass lidded container to put it in. You also need to label your blend with the ingredients and their amounts plus the date you made it. Essential oils last a long time, but after about two years they may begin to lose their potency, so that's why it's important to date your blends.
Homemade "Robber" Essential Oil Blend
Clove essential oil 9 drops
Lemon essential oil 7 drops
Cinnamon essential oil 4 drops
Eucalyptus essential oil 3 drops
Rosemary essential oil 2 drops
Place all of the oils in a clean, dark glass bottle. Label with ingredients and date. Roll the capped bottle gently between your hands to warm the oils and help them to mix together. Store your essential oils in a cool, dark place or in the refrigerator.
If you want the convenience of a pre-made blend that also includes the spicy notes of Frankincense try the Bandito blend from BeeYoutiful.

text: doll777 Report post Posted July 26, 2017 (edited) Hi, I have been struggling a lot lately. I have gained some weight back, no where near all, but like 20-30 pounds. I am so scared that I will gain it all back. In addition, I have been struggling with most all food and drink making me sick with no answers from doctors as to the reason. I have been through MRI's, CAT scans, Hydro scans, ultrasounds, several scopes. The next step is more surgery to check for a hernia. I did this to have fewer medical problems and I seem to be sick more often than ever before. I am deficient in several vitamins, including iron. I was told the best way to deal with that is an IV but my doctor refuses to do it because she thinks she can just have me take more vitamins. I have been taking them the way she said and my iron hasn't moved. I think it is because the surgery only allows me to absorb so much through my stomach, so upping the dose is only causing the extra to be immediately disposed of in my body. I am still happy that I did it but so much seems to be a constant struggle and I feel like I just want everything to be over. I have even thought about seeing if it could be reversed. I don't know what to do anymore. I was really positive for a long time but it seems more difficult lately. I don't know if what I am feeling is normal or not but I know that it is hard to deal with.

Happy halloween!
I know I should be posting about how to make homemade candy, or what to do with leftover candy but well… I'm not.
I guess I haven't gotten into the halloween spirit yet.
Halloweens great, I love the movies, I love candy, but I'll be honest it's not one of my favorite holidays. I honestly don't know why, I've had some very fun times on halloween.
When I was younger, my older brothers, some neighborhood friends, and I would all dress up and go trick or treating. If I couldn't figure out what I wanted to be I would be a "flower girl", my mom would sew flowers onto a jacket for me. It was pretty fun actually.
I guess now I just have no idea what I want to do, what I want to wear. I'm uncreative. Or maybe I'm just waiting for Thanksgiving to devour all the wonderful delicious food! Yeah, I'm going with the latter.
In any case! Here is a delicious fall treat! I know some may be put off by goat milk, but it gives the bread pudding extra creaminess and tang, without being too sweet.
Pumpkin Goat Cheese Bread Pudding
(Recipe by Sarah Eats Austin)
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup goat cheese, room temperature
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
1/2 cup milk (I used 2%)
1 cup heavy cream
1/2-1 cup chocolate chips
1 loaf french bread. cubed
Cinnamon Whipped Cream
1 cup heavy cream
1/2-1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 tbls sugar
In a large bowl combine the pumpkin and goat cheese, whisk to combine. Add in the sugar and spices and stir to combine. Add in the eggs. Whisk to combine.
Gently whisk in the milk and heavy cream.
Gently fold in the cubed french bread and chocolate chips. Let sit for about 5-10 minutes to soak up. **The bread I used was very soft so it soaked it up fast. If bread is harder let it soak longer.
Sprinkle with extra sugar and bake for 25-30 minutes.
Don't overbake!
For the whipped cream combine the cream in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk and whip until stiff peaks. Add in the sugar, cinnamon and vanilla and whisk until all combined.
