Another subject I haven't really touched upon the past few days, thanks to Comic-Con. Although I did post this over on Hal Boedeker's column at the Orlando Sentinel:
My take? Gates had just returned from a long trip, was probably exhausted, most assuredly frustrated over his door sticking and the subsequent inability to get into his home…just like every single one of us after a bad day.Add to that a nosy neighbor and a police officer accusing you of breaking and entering into your own home then getting his feelings hurt (the police officer) and you have the classic example of a bad day going really bad.
In this case, nobody's right and nobody's wrong. Get over it.
Now that I have time to write down some of my other thoughts regarding this situation, I realized this:
Have you ever been in an accident? Have you ever had to call the police to your home regarding some incident or other?
What happens?
Here's what happens…
A. You, or someone, calls the police.
B. The policeman arrives.
C. The policeman investigates the damage/situation by asking questions of all witnesses.
D. The witnesses all write a sworn statement regarding the accident/incident.
E. The policeman finishes the investigation.
F. The policeman goes to his squad car.
G. The policeman writes out a report. Right there. On the scene. Presumably so he remembers all the details.
H. The policeman turns in his investigation report to the police station, along with all the other statements, etc., where it's recorded as public record.
But what do we see as a result of the Gates vs. The Cop situation? This:
What's wrong with that report?
Sure, it's nicely, neatly, typed out. No misspelled words, no grammatical errors…a perfect document.
I'll assume police nowadays have the capability to produce such documents from the laptops we see in their cars today.
But…why would the police officer in the Gates vs. The Cop say this if the report was completed on-the-spot?
How could this police put on his report "two black males" when the 911 call by Lucia Whalen made no mention of it?
Was the police report doctored?

If you wish to broaden your mind and open yourself up to the job market, studying at university is still a worthwhile option that can bag you a career and a high paying salary. However getting to that point is not free!
Student loans are a big topic of controversy in the UK, and thanks to misleading headlines and political rhetoric it can be quite difficult to understand what they are and how they work. Fortunately the idea that you will be saddled with tens of thousands of crippling debt when you leave University level education is not quite true. Student loans do not function like a personal loan you would take out at the bank, so there is no need to worry about financial hardship, bailiffs and all of the other scary things we often associate with large amounts of debt. It's a fact that education is not free, but that doesn't mean you will go broke either. The days of only the rich having access to such opportunities is long gone.
Here are 10 comforting facts about student loans that should put your mind at ease if you choose this method of financing your education.
It is more like an income tax than a loan
It is true that the cost of a University education is steep, with figures as high as £50,000 being floated around when you consider every year of a degree and the associated living expenses. However the repayment terms are set up in such a way that paying it back should not have a major impact on your life. You are only required to begin repayment once you graduate or leave the course and then only if you earn over a certain amount. This currently works out at 9% of any income you earn over £21,000. So if you earned £22,000, you would only need to pay 9% of £1,000 – which is just £90. This can therefore be looked at more like a small income tax than a crippling debt.
If you earn below that figure you won't have to pay back the loan at all until you begin to do so. The majority of people over their working lifetime will not have paid back the full amount, and this is perfectly ok. It's not really designed to be paid back in full.
The Debt Is Wiped After 30 Years
On top of the fact that you only begin paying back the loan when you are earning, the entire debt is wiped clean after 30 years. So if you enter University at 18 years old, you are no longer required to make repayments as you enter your 50s.
Your Credit Score Isn't Affected
A young person (or anyone for that matter) taking out thousands in loans could quite quickly end up with a wrecked credit score, especially if they don't have the means to pay it back. However student loans are much different. They are not even recorded on your credit report and the only way other lenders can learn whether you have students loans is if they ask you in their applications. In reality this is usually only sought when applying for a mortgage. In other words your credit rating will not be affected by taking out a student loan.
You Can Repay Early, But There's No Point
A lot of loan products require you to see through the full term as a way to ensure you pay the most amount of interest. This is not true of student loans, which you are free to repay in full at any time. However there is no practical reason to do so, unless you earn a considerable amount. Furthermore if you choose to forgo the loan completely and pay the fees upfront, you may actually be £10,000s worse off in the long run, depending on your income.
Loans are for Tuition and Living Expenses
Loans with the same repayment terms are now available for living expenses, not just tuition fees – meaning if you move away from home to pursue a degree you can borrow enough to cover your rent, necessities and course related materials, without having to eat in to important study time by working a job. These loans are means tested, so if your parents don't earn a lot or you live alone, you will be able to get up to £8,430 (if you reside outside of London, where you can get even more).
Most People are in the same Boat
It's easy to slip in to the victim's mind-set, but unless you are one of the few privileged that pay for their education upfront, you are in the same boat as everyone else. So when you think of future earning potential you are also comparatively no worse off than anyone else either.

Executive Protection Officers
Our Executive Protection Officers are highly trained professionals who are entrusted with the personal security of individuals. They often work for celebrities, corporate leaders, political figures, and people who are at a heightened risk of personal attack.
When you hire executive protection officers from a specialized agency like S.E.A.L, we will arrange for one or more of our bodyguards to accompany you to public events, identify potential dangers, identify escape routes, and take action to keep you safe.
Executive protection officers work alone and also as part of security teams, but they always stay close to their clients to observe the surroundings and prevent dangerous situations from escalating.
For bodyguard services in Louisiana, our professionals may carry firearms or after undergoing specialized training and certification to safely operate them in case of emergency.
In today's society, there are many good reasons to hire an executive protection officer in Louisiana.
At S.E.A.L, we train our executive protection officers to be ready for anything and to approach every assignment with the highest regard for professionalism, detail, and discretion.
High profile business leaders are often vulnerable when visiting the city for important meetings or handling highly sensitive material.
Executive protection bodyguards are also useful during hostile termination situations, labor disputes, special events, planned travel, and the transport of valuable assets.
Here are some of the many executive protection services that our executive protection officers can provide:
* Perform an initial sweep of meeting spaces
* Drive executives to and from business locations
* Check vehicles for IED devices and bombs
* Keep a close watch for potential attackers
* Provide protection during periods of travel
What to look for in an Executive Protection Officer:
The media often portrays images of executive protection being bulky, intimidating figures; however, different types of executive protection officers are best suited to specific clients and situations. For example, executive protection officer's styles can be vastly different depending on whether you need executive, personal, celebrity, or VIP protection.
These are some of the most important characteristics to look for in a body guard service:
* Physically fit for defense
* Strong communication skills
* Familiarity with the area
* Excellent planning and problem-solving skills
* Ability to act quickly in emergency situations
* Discretion in sensitive environments
* Ability to work long, demanding shifts
* Loyalty and dedication
* Previous relevant bodyguard experience

We are a group of volunteers who give good neighbourly help to people who do not have friends or family nearby to support them.
Our group offers:
- Transport to medical appointments
- Transport to social events
- Shopping
- Visiting
- Sitting for carers
- Neighbourhood lunches
- Befriending
- Helping with pets
- Minor repairs and DIY
- Others…
"Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others" (1 Peter 4:10)
Thinking about becoming a Good Neighbours volunteer?
Sheila Gill is the leader of the Christ Church Portsdown Good Neighbours team. Here, she talks about the scheme and provides more information for anyone thinking of becoming a volunteer.
Why are you recruiting more volunteers, Sheila?
The team of Good Neighbours has been doing a great job supporting people from across the Portsdown and surrounding areas, but each year we see an increase in the requests for help and we now need to expand the team so we can provide help to those who need it. One of the reasons for the increase was our own determination to encourage those living alone to get out more. Loneliness is a huge problem, especially among the senior members of our community. Organising not only transport but encouraging people to come to various social things, like the 1940s themed party as part of the Christ Church events to commemorate the 70th anniversary of D Day, led to a huge increase in the number of requests for social transport trips, which is great news – but it does mean we need more volunteers to help us provide the transport.
What kind of things would a volunteer do?
The type of support we offer includes transport to medical appointments or social activities, shopping, visiting, just sitting with someone while their carer goes out, helping with pets, minor household repairs and small gardening jobs. For example, a volunteer was able to walk someone's dog after he had been in hospital for an operation and couldn't walk the dog himself. Another volunteer just pops in on a 95 year old lady who doesn't have family nearby, just to have a cup of tea and a chat. For a lady who is nearly blind and hard of hearing, having a volunteer read to her, keeping her up with the news from around the community, and helping her manage her post, means a great deal. If a volunteer has an odd hour to spend, we can match them up with people who need their help.
How much time would someone need to commit to become a Good Neighbour?
There's no set requirement. People can offer as much or as little time as they can spare, and can vary the support they provide at any time. That's one of the great things about being a Good Neighbour – the scheme is flexible enough to ensure that, while we keep the promises we make to those who need our help, we don't overwork our volunteers. I'm very pleased to be able to say that we've never had a Good Neighbour step down because they've felt that the demands had become too much.
How easy is it to become a volunteer?
It couldn't be simpler. We just fill in an application form which takes a few minutes. The usual formal checks are then done, which the Good Neighbour Scheme arranges, and after a chat with me and then with one of the coordinators, if everyone's happy, that's about it.
Is there an age limit for volunteers?
No – we currently have volunteers ranging from their 30s to their 80s.
Does someone need to be a member of the Christ Church congregation to volunteer?
No, not at all. We're linked with the Christ Church Portsdown organisation, but some of our volunteers are not regular church-goers.
What kind of training do volunteers get?
There's no need for any formal training but, after the initial induction, if a volunteer needs any support or coaching at any time, we're very happy to provide it and we do encourage people to develop their skills.
Are volunteers paid?
Their time isn't paid for – they volunteer it. However, we do pay for their mileage or any agreed out of pocket expenses. The greatest reward for our volunteers is in knowing they're making a real difference to people, often by doing something relatively simple or taking very little time. And, of course, research indicates that volunteering is actually very good for someone's health and can lead to a longer life. Isn't that a great thought? It's a real win-win for everyone!
Do the volunteers get together?
Yes – we try to build a sense of community across our volunteer network, although we avoid doing too much as we're respectful that they're already giving time to support those in need. We have had a number of fun social events, like tea at the Pavilion Tearooms at Stansted Park last summer and a Supper Evening over the winter. Feedback from volunteers shows they enjoy the opportunity to become part of a group.
What does someone need to do if they want to become a volunteer, or at least find out more about the Good Neighbour scheme?
They can contact us via email: email@example.com or call the Good Neighbours Helpline on 07842 367490.
(People helping people from Good Neighbours Network on Vimeo)
When you're thinking of trying something new, there's nothing quite like hearing from someone who is already doing it and who can share their experience. Here, to help you make up your mind, we feature an interview with one of our Christ Church Portsdown volunteers….
What made you decide to become a Good Neighbours volunteer?
Through my own experience with my elderly parents, I could see the need in the community for the kind of services offered by this group, and the opportunity for me to make a difference by becoming a volunteer myself.
How much time do you spend being a Good Neighbour in an average week?
One of the good things about being part of this team is that I can vary the time I spend providing support, so it fits in with the other parts of my life. The most has been two hours in a week – but that's not every week.
What kind of things have you done as a Good Neighbour?
It varies – which is another nice thing. I'm not doing the same thing all the time. Sometimes I help people with their shopping, or provide transport to medical appointments or their social events. Sometimes, I go on "befriending" visits, which means I just call in and have a cup of tea and a natter with someone who might otherwise not have anyone else to talk to.
Weren't you worried about someone becoming dependent upon your support?
No, because the group has a system in place that means you only visit the same person up to six times, then someone else will take your place to provide more support if needed.
What would you say have been the positives about volunteering as a Good Neighbour?
I really like the fact that I know that I'm being really helpful and useful. Even though I am only spending an hour or two here and there, which fits in with my life very easily, I know what I'm doing is making a real difference to people. That makes me feel very good and valued as a person.
What would you say to anyone thinking about joining the group as a volunteer?
Give it a go! There is no commitment to any particular job at a particular time: you take each task request as it comes and, if you can take it on, then that is up to you – you can give just as much as you feel able.

Tigress is the tritagonist of the Kung Fu Panda franchise. She is the strongest, serious and leader of the Furious Five, five of the strongest masters of Kung Fu in China. Many fans of the series consider her to be the main love interest of Po, the main character of the series.
At the start of the series, when they first meet, she considers Po a nuisance, and wants nothing to do with him, especially after he seemingly steals her chance to become the Dragon Warrior. By the end of the first film, however, she seems to have accepted him as a fellow warrior, and seems to warm up to him much more later in the series.
She is voiced by Angelina Jolie in the films, by Kari Wahlgren in the TV series and most of the video games, and by Erin Torpey in the first video game.
Hints of Romantic Interest with Po
Kung Fu Panda

- After Po defeats Tai Lung, and after the town cheers for him, she is the first of the Furious Five to bow to him, calling him "Master".
- When Po found the Furious Five after the Furious Five's battle with Tai Lung, Po checked to see if the Furious Five were alive, the first he check on was Tigress.

- In Gongmen Jail, Tigress forces Po to talk about why he let Shen get away. He says it's because he wanted answers about his family. He wants to go to Shen again for answers, ignoring her orders to stay at the jail, saying "the hardcore can't understand". She then gives him a hug, saying "the hardcore do understand, but I can't watch my friend be killed."
- Tigress seems distraught after watching Shen "kill" Po at the cannon factory.
- When Monkey mentions that Po would want them to remain "Strong, hardcore." Tigress looks like she is going to cry.
- During the final battle at the harbor, when Shen is about to shoot Po with his big cannon, Tigress pushes him out of the way, trying to take the shot for him.
- When Tigress is drifting in the water, Po swims up to her for a moment and holds her paw, trying to make sure she's still alive.
- When Po swims away, she reaches out to him.
- After Po defeats Shen, she pulls him up onto the boat out of the water, complimenting him on how hardcore he was. He responds by giving her a hug, although she does not show much reaction to it, other than surprise. She later puts a paw on his shoulder and watches the Fireworks with a smile on her face.
Kung Fu Panda Holiday
- While visiting Po and Mr. Ping for their holiday celebration, Tigress was the only one who said "Happy Holiday" right to Po.

After the battle, they smile at each other. Tigress also said that Po was the "right" Dragon Warrior.

When Po broke down the door to rescue her, she said with a smile 'If you ever change, I'll kill you' at which Po gives her a dreamy look.
- In "The Midnight Stranger" Tigress falls in love with the mysterious warrior who is really Po in disguise.

Round 3
Mantic Conceptual VitriolHischke: This is a new discovery for me. It's by a newer company out of Denver that's doing some really interesting things. They told me the Mantic Conceptual Vitriol is a distortion based on an old DOD pedal, but souped up. It's really beefy but clear, and very present and articulate. It can be as bassy as you want without getting muddy, with this layer of distortion that doesn't get lost in the mix. I've used it a little bit live and for recording, and it sounds great in both circumstances, which isn't always the case. It doesn't have a blend because it doesn't need it—the bass goes straight through it. I love it. I got it a few months ago, and it has already become an essential piece.
"The biggest sound I ever make with my bass is the combination of the Sovtek fuzz with the Micro Synth. When I use those two together, it's just huge. Nothing else fits in the mix." —Juan Alderete

Hello Haynes, yup it's me again. Haven't posted on here in a while. Hope everything's fine with y'all!
Well the 'ol '93 Ford F150 is on it's last leg. It's developed a bad misfire, I replaced the plugs, plug wires, cap and rotor still misfiring. Long story short after pulling a compression test I found out the number 8 cylinder is getting 0 compression. I ended up taking it to a mechanic that I know really well he said the engine is going to need a complete rebuild to the tune of about $2000. He suggested buying another vehicle. He had a 2001 Chevy S10 that he was working on and was getting ready to sell so I bought it; I just took possession of it today. I gave $2800 cash for it. The truck has a 2.2L 4 cylinder with a 5 speed manual transmission. I'm not a fan of Chevys I like Fords best but I had to get a set of wheels. I have already purchased your Chevrolet S10 & GMC Sonoma Haynes Repair Manual a few weeks ago; hadn't even taken possession of the truck yet when I purchased it.

Influenza Allegory [Week's News Poem, January 11, 2013]
Influenza love story:
An epidemic allegory.
A child vomits virus cloud;
Recovers, fades into the crowd.
Influenza tragedy,
Is nothing more than comedy
That has lasted too long
And has the same corny song:
No no no!
Inside the subway car the millionaire
And the schizophrenic beggar share
A vent, are going in the same way,
Share destinations, the crowd, the sway.
"Influenza has officially reached epidemic proportions in the United States, with 7.3 percent of deaths last week caused by pneumonia and the flu, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Friday."

Check out my latest post on Endometriosis Surgery and how the mental battle with Gastroparesis resurfaced.
Check out my latest post on Endometriosis Surgery and how the mental battle with Gastroparesis resurfaced.
The two items above should NEVER occur within the same week! But it happens and it happened this week. My Gastroparesis is NOT happy with it and is proving a point. Stomach cramping, vomiting, fatigue, the whole nine yards of exciting GP fun paid me a visit this week. Needless to say it was not a fun week and I am hoping beyond hope that the weather has chosen a season & temperature to stick with. (I'm hoping for fall because it is my favorite!)
I know of others with Gastroparesis that have exceptional flair ups when the weather changes, so I think that there is something to it. I think that there must be some type of connection. Someone once told me that it has to do with the barometric pressure and how that pressure affects our internal organs. I really have no idea if this is true or not, but it seems as good of answer as any.
As I rotated between the bathroom and laying with my heating pad, I had so many different thoughts going through my head. "Why is this happening to me again, I thought that I was on a good path?" "Why did some of my 'friends' disappear and say hurtful things when I got so sick?" "Why do people not understand that this is serious & I'm not just being a whiny wimp?" "Why…Why…Why…Why…?"
Then it dawned on my that asking all of these negative questions was not helping matters. So I wiped my eyes, turned up my heating pad, got doggie kisses from my faithful nurse (aka my doggie Leela) and decided I would focus on the positive. I started to tell myself "You haven't had a flair up this bad in months, the changes you have made in your life are working." "Look at all of the amazing friends who have stuck by you & check on you." "Look at the amazing man in your life who would do anything to help you." "Look at the positivity that you are giving the GP community with a blog that you didn't think anyone would read." "Look at the Personal Best in a Half Marathon earlier this year." "Look at the fact that you were able to even complete a half marathon." "Look at the fact that you did two half marathons." Then I started to turn around. I started to feel better and more mentally tough. I started to get my fight back. I started to say…take that GP…I WILL get off the couch today and I WILL get something done.
As I have said numerous times on this blog, I feel the most important thing during a Gastroparesis flair is to set a goal (no matter how small) and to accomplish it. Then say…Take that Gastroparesis! You may have won the battler, but you will NOT win the war!! So I set a goal of loading the dishwasher (there were all of 5 dishes in the sink) and I did it. This of course required a nap, but I went to sleep knowing that I did something and the day wasn't an entire waste!
No matter how good we are doing, Gastroparesis always seems a way to find us. However, it is so important to focus on anything positive and try hard not to fall into a negative loop! Of course, this is easier said than done, but it is important to train your brain to make the shift. It doesn't come natural and will take some training, but I promise if you work at it that you can retrain your brain!
No matter how much you think you have Gastroparesis beat, you never fully do. There will always be a setback that hits you. For me, it always seems to be when there is a large shift in the weather. It is so incredibly frustrating to be on a good path and then something completely out of your control throws a wrench into the whole scheme. It's in these moments that I hate Gastroparesis the most. It's in these moments that I struggle to stay positive and keep fighting. It's in these moments that I have a hard time fending off the depression and self-doubt. Today has been one of those moments.
The weather had a giant shift yesterday which wreaked havoc on me and my Gastroparesis. I have been fatigued and this morning had extremely horrible stomach cramping. I stand by my acupuncture post from yesterday, because even though I faced this setback I noticed that my body is bouncing back faster than it did before the acupuncture treatments. It still doesn't bounce back as quickly as I would like, but something is better than nothing.
This morning was not only filled with fatigue and severe stomach cramps but was also filled with self-doubt and depression. What is my point in life? Why was I changing my diet, taking supplements, blending my food, getting acupuncture just to remain sick? Why do I always have to get sick? Why don't more people know about Gastroparesis? Why keep fighting it? Is the blog really helping anyone? Should I keep doing the blog? The list goes on and on and on. These moments are EXTREMELY difficult to pull yourself out of. Once the snowball starts rolling it takes a giant yeti to make it stop.
Somehow, someway I was able to get the snowball to stop. Maybe it's because I had to force myself out of bed to get some work done.. Maybe it's because my dog was insistent that I needed all the kisses she could give me. Maybe it's because I saw an adorable photo of my friend's baby in a safari hat. Maybe it's because my amazingly calm and supportive boyfriend was saying all of the right things. Maybe it's because I know I'm meant to make a difference for the Gastroparesis community. Whatever the reason was, I was able to slowly snap myself out of the funk today. I'm not fully out of it but still slowly getting there. I saw the image for today's blog & I think it will be my new motto: Chin up buttercup!
Ever since I found the image, I've been telling myself this over and over. It seems to be working. I've thought of additional ideas that I can do to expand the blog to more than just my daily posting about life with Gastroparesis. I've thought of some possible ways to arm others with copies of the Advocacy Binder.
I'm excited about the future and hoping that you will be too. I'm hoping that you will like the changes coming soon to Adventures with Gastroparesis!
Never give up & keep your chin up! We will find a way to make our voices heard, just you wait & see!
Let me start out by saying that the photo above is false advertising. No one looks that good in a spin class. Sweat is dripping everywhere. It smells. People are grunting. If there is a pause in the music you hear people sucking wind. People's bangs are sticking straight in the air because the people can't handle having them on their forehead anymore and there is enough sweat to spike them straight into the air. Oh wait….that's just me and I don't care! I have Gastroparesis and am just happy to be there.
Okay, I'll fess up. Several people are looking like a hot mess in spin class, but only I have the spiked bangs. I think that I might bring back the 80s headband. As I mentioned, I'm just happy to be there. Today I had A LOT of frustration to get out of my system. Frustration over how so many people are fighting Gastroparesis and in constant pain. Frustration over the lack of treatment options for Gastroparesis. Frustration over the lack of knowledge of Gastroparesis. Extreme frustration about how we receive this diagnosis and then basically told to "live with it" with no end in sight.
All of this was going through my head and the more frustrated I got, the faster I went. I was wishing that if I could pedal fast enough that a cure would magically appear for all of us. It is still absolutely mind boggling how in this day in age we are just left to the wayside to fend for ourselves and frequently treated by the medical profession as if we are a bother.
I know that there are A LOT of GPers struggling right now. My heart breaks when I read some of the posts about how debilitating Gastroparesis can be. About how the medical bills pile up. About how our lives have been ripped away from us and we have to sort out a Plan B. I wish that I could give everyone a big hug. I wish that I could pedal us a cure.
However I do know this. My Gastroparesis is mild compared to most (which in and of itself is mind boggling, because I know how bad I get.) This means I have more energy available to fight for us. A fight that I take extremely seriously. I promise all of the GPers having a bad day that I have so much fight in me that I am on a mission to make Gastroparesis a household name so that one day we can have better lives. Do NOT give up hope (I know this is MUCH easier said than done on some days). We are a strong group of people and we are determined to have our voices heard and make a change!
This entry is dedicated to Kristi Jewel. You are stronger than you know! 🙂
Today I have one simple question, "Where did the energy go?" I would really like to know. Although I did need quite a few naps throughout my chores this weekend. However, I feel like someone pulled the plug or hid the batteries. I can barely open my eyes.
I've written about this topic a handful of times, but it is one that continues to haunt me. I'll be on fire getting things done for a couple of hours and then have to take a recovery nap for 3-4 hours. It absolutely amazes/dumbfounds/confuses me. I feel that my body is still in recovery mood from becoming ill on Thursday night. I've also been battling stomach cramping this morning which has not been fun. I wonder if our bodies put us in hibernation mode so that we don't feel the pain.
This weekend I took my prescription strength Vitamin D pill. I'm only supposed to take 1 per week so I can only imagine how much Vitamin D is jammed into that little pill. However, I think that it is having the opposite effect of what it is supposed to. Vitamin D is supposed to help with your energy and brain function, but both of mine have tanked.
I feel like a slug. This feeling is the part of Gastroparesis that I have the hardest time with. I can accept the pain, nausea, vomiting, etc. However, I can't stand the feeling of knowing that things need to be done and I am rendered useless on my couch. My brain doesn't want to cooperate enough to even watch some TV shows. As a result, I have been laying there falling in and out of sleep listening to a bird in the back yard sing and my dog snore. Both very pleasant sounds, but not as pleasant as actually getting work done, making my smoothie, reading a book, putting a glass in a dishwasher, or really doing anything at all.
I couldn't stand laying there anymore so I did what I always do to try to break the spell. I set myself a goal to accomplish just 1 thing and then hope that the 1 thing will lead to more. If not, it will at least wear me out enough to go back to sleep and not think about being unproductive. So I decided to hobble over to my computer and type today's blog.
Hopefully, it is turning out coherent because I think I see the GP Elves fluffing my pillow for me. Maybe they can drive me to my acupuncture appointment in hopes of it knocking this bad energy and cramping out of me!
Okay, I'll be the first to admit that there at times I want to scream when I see the quote above. (You were given this life because you are strong enough to live it.) Some days I just don't want to hear it. It's the last thing I need. I'm sure that almost anyone with Gastroparesis has felt the same way. You wonder just how strong you are expected to be and just how much more life is going to throw at you. You want to rip this paper from the pushpin, ball it up, and throw it in the garbage (maybe even set the paper on fire).
However, I will say that my fellow Gastroparesis fighters are some of the strongest people I have ever met in my life. It seems that once we get over the initial mental hurdle of being dealt this incurable condition, that we develop a mental toughness like no other. Sure we have our days of Brain Fog. We have our days when depression takes over. We have our days of self doubt. But what I am noticing is that once you start to gain control of your brain and are able to push the negative thoughts out. It is downright amazing how tough GPers really are. This toughness is why the little post-it is correct. We are strong enough to live this life.
We are resourceful enough to start Facebook groups, blogs, and forums in order to educate ourselves and to educate others. We know the limited amount of research occurring for Gastroparesis so we use ourselves as human guinea pigs in an attempt to feel better even for an hour. We will try anything. I think I would even try eating a mouse if someone told me it would make me feel better. Those of you who are healthy and reading this are probably completely disgusted by that thought. Those of you with Gastroparesis understand that I am only half joking and are contemplating in your head if you have heard anything about this before.
We have the resolve to keep fighting. We have the resolve to fight for legislation that would expand research for Gastroparesis. Legislation that will hopefully keep us from serving our guests mouse BBQ. We are sick and tired of being sick and tired. We are tired of laying in our beds. We are tired of laying on our bathroom floors. We want a change and we want it now!
This is why the statement is correct "You were given this life because you were strong enough to live it". We are strong enough to make the voice of Gastroparesis heard. We are strong enough to not take this lying down with the GP Elves serving us mouse!
PS…Please do not try to eat mouse as a result of this entry. Please consult a trained medical professional before making ANY dietary changes.
PS…Please help pass HR842 to expand research funding for Gastroparesis. Call your congressman and vote on-line: https://www.popvox.com/bills/us/113/hr842
Well….I knew this would happen. I just didn't think it would be so soon into "Gluten-Free" April. It seems that yesterday I hit a bit of a speed bump (or should I say traffic jam) and fell off my bike! Okay, the photo isn't literally me. Everyone knows it would be coffee and not soda in my hand! However, feel that this photo portrays what a lot of people with Gastroparesis feel. You go about your daily lives and then BAM…down for the count.
Yesterday I was feeling pretty good. I had energy and was feeling optimistic. I was even planning on going to a spin class with a friend. (Hey, if she can go to class 8 months pregnant then I can go with GP!) Then it hit. The sea of brake lights in front of me when trying to get home. Then another sea of breaklights. Then another sea. Then that nauseous feeling. Then that weird feeling in your cheeks when you know that it is only a matter of time before you vomit. Then the starting to plot where you can pull over to do so and if your body can hang on until you get there.
Needless to say that after my 1 1/2 hr + of driving and vomiting, I was not going to make it to spin class. I did not get to check exercise off on my list. I also did not have enough energy to prepare everything in the evening for work today. (Although I could tell my body wasn't going to let me go to work anyway.) So I didn't get to check evening prep off my list of things to do. Since I was so ill, I wasn't feeling like eating so I managed to stay gluten-free and check it off of my list as well as going to bed before 10 pm.
Even though I faced this setback, it was minor compared to the setbacks in the past. I am starting to feel better today and think that I will be back on my bike by tomorrow morning. I also had a nice chat with my GP BFF. Our schedules haven't been matching up well since we live on opposite coasts, but it was great to finally catch up with each other. It reminded me that I need to add another item to my goal chart: remember to check on my close GP friends. We all need support and we all like knowing that we aren't forgotten in the world.
So today, I will start picking myself back up from my fall. I will start to chart my new course in life in an attempt to become as healthy as I can so that I can go tell Gastroparesis to take a hike! (And not the fun kind of hike, the annoying all uphill in 100% of sweltering heat type of hike!)

My Lawnmower Revs Up & Down
Although it is also an internal combustion engine that works in a similar fashion to an automobile engine, a lawnmower engine is much simpler — though often just as frustrating. One common problem is when it revs up and down. Simple troubleshooting should allow you to track down the source of the problem. If it's something besides the carburetor, you might be able to fix it yourself. Unless you have experience, tearing into a carburetor can be a major undertaking. Keep in mind that there are only three areas to concern yourself with when it comes to small engine problems: fire, fuel and air.
The first step in troubleshooting concerns fuel. There are two basic problems you can run into here. The first, obvious though it might be, is when the engine is simply low on gas. A lawnmower engine typically begins to rev up and slow down for several seconds as it draws the last drops of fuel in the tank. Also related to this topic, and sometimes a culprit with a rough-running mower, is fuel that has water in it. A fuel container can gather condensation inside while being stored, or certainly as a result of being left out in the rain.
Spark Plug
The second troubleshooting scenario concerns fire, which means the spark plug. A fouled plug or one that is firing out of time can cause your lawnmower to run poorly. Since spark plugs are relatively inexpensive and easy to replace, a couple of bucks spent at your local parts store could solve the problem of revving up and down. Take care to properly ground yourself while replacing the plug, since the rubber cap that slides over the top is electrified inside.
Air is the third area of concern with a poorly running lawnmower. A small engine pulls air from the outside in through what is called an air filter, which is located inside a rectangular compartment normally attached to the side of the engine. These filters often become clogged with debris, causing them to function less effectively. You can try blowing out the filter with compressed air or knocking it against a hard surface. Lawnmower filters are not expensive, so it's not a bad idea to change them frequently.
A high percentage of lawnmower engine problems can be traced to the carburetor. To troubleshoot this area requires you to partially dismantle the engine. If you're comfortable doing this and have some experience, go right ahead. Otherwise, it might be better to employ the services of a small engine repair specialist. Lawnmower carburetors aren't as heavy-duty as their automobile counterparts and frequently need to be taken apart for inspection, adjustment and cleaning.

Next Spring 2013 if what we see on the catwalks is to come to fruition the shoe once seen as a sexy accessory has all gone Pete Tong. Flats are in but not the brogues we saw last season of polished leather giving masculine yet sophisticated feel but weird mixes of fur, plastic and futuristic sheen making next Spring seem set in never reaches of shoe envy.
Phoebe Philo for Celine has made comfy shoes the ones for the season, no longer tired feet from walking on pin point stilettos but shoes have furry lined bottoms in bright, garish Eskimo covered ballet pump style.
Prada's two tongued plastic flats are the worst offenders for me. Firstly who likes wearing sandals that cut in between your toes and secondly they have plastic sheen to them which no doubt will make for a sweaty mix. Prada also shown wooden platform shoes with circular hole cut out of the platform that I like but it all goes bit strange with metallic ankle covering which looks like a sock wrapped around foot.
There's not much can be said about Marc Jacobs pilgrim style shoe, it looks like it been created by Amish on acid.
So for next Spring I don't know if I'll be following these crazy shoe trends I think it may be one left for the catwalk where fashion meets ugly.

the celebration, Kimberly fibs, distracting me with her hands operating through my hair. I thought Emerald was catering the celebration, I comment, seeking up into her bright, orange simple eyes. She'll be straight back, Kimberly assures, rubbing and caressing her breasts to help keep my eyes entertained. Darn, that is too simple, Brenda blurts, flinging the bathroom home available, carrying a massive, realistic- looking tie on. What the -, I exclaim, snatching my mind around, staring at the strap on Brenda's wearing. Hahaha....... The look on see your face is fucking expensive, Brenda cracks, crawling on the sleep, laughing. Brenda's fun infects Kimberly and she bursts out joking, too. I can't support but to laugh proper alongside them. Between both of them, they have was able to shock me with a thing that I absolutely was not wanting - Sex Chat Cum maybe not in a million years. The night only keeps getting better and better. External, Kryss converts off the headlights on his car. Creeping through the darkness, he pulls up and parks across the street from Brenda's house. With Brenda's bedroom drapes shut, there is number means for us to see his red Mustang parked in the street, scoping out the all-girls party. Opening a alcohol, Kryss chugs it down in one large gulp. Then, he wipes his mouth on his sleeve. Furrowing his eyebrows, he tosses the empty package out the individual window. A jagged, contemptuous smile extends across his experience, blistering it with disgust. Starting another beer, he chugs down most of it. Understanding the silhouettes while they go in front of the family room windows, he waits, his brain churning and festering with intoxicated thoughts.
An Adult Wed Cams awkward moment of stop sweeps through Brenda's room as everyone's eyes change towards me. Wearing a limited, black leather mini-skirt with a corset, thigh large stiletto pumps, and make-up, I'm terribly out of place despite how feminine I appear. From the lounge, I didn't have a problem seeing Kimberly and Brenda making out with each other. But, after Emerald set me immediately to get me inside the space, it is a various story. I should've stayed downstairs to mingle in Brenda's all-girls party without making my awareness intrude on Kimberly's time of fun. Instead, I had to opportunity upstairs to find her. It's not like I did not have a notion of what she would be doing. Anyhow, I have a sense Brenda and Kimberly realized what I'd do after I obtained to the celebration and planned accordingly. I Free Live Sex Cams Porn thought that they'd equally be angry with me watching them, but that's not the case. Using my intrusion, they circumvent my anxieties to tempt me with many any guy's dream - jumping during intercourse with two women. It's a successful tactic, due to the fact everyone in the space is bare except me. Hey, you ultimately made it, Brenda greets, going for a glass of wine from Amber's tray, smiling at me. You look stunning because outfit. Happy birthday, Ashleigh, Kimberly blurts, grinning at me as she takes a glass of wine from the tray as well. Yeah, pleased birthday, Brenda toasts, going her glass against Kimberly's glass. We must sing'Happy Birthday'for your requirements, Designer suggests, sitting the last glass of wine on the chest of drawers. Uh - let us not do that, I remark, backing my butt Fre Live Sex Cams up against the chest of drawers. Shock, c'mon, Emerald demands, adding her give on her behalf fashionable and dipping her visit the side. Is something amiss, Ashleigh? Brenda requires, sleeping her give on Kimberly's thigh as she sips champagne, causing records of lipstick on the glass. Number, not really, I giggle, sweeping my eyes across her bedroom, I look to be a magnet for awkward situations. I have been over to Brenda's home numerous instances, but never inside her bedroom. It's clear and neat like the others of her house with the exception of the garments they certainly were carrying strewn on the sleep and floor. Her curtains are closed, creating the overall mood sense different from what I really could see out in the hallway. The flickering candles on her cabinet and nightstand produce all sorts of sexual
Properly, I am going back downstairs, Amber utters, tucking the offering tray below her arm as she turns to leave, unless you need something else, Brenda. Perhaps not right now, Brenda responses, significant her eyes around Amber's bare human body, Thanks for asking. You are not going to stay? Kimberly requires, leaning her head on Brenda's shoulder. I'd want to, but Rhonda and Tracy need me to hangout together, Emerald explains, pausing in the doorway, and I still need to cater the party. When Designer leaves the bed room, I'm the biggest market of interest drop upon me again. My Sagittarian present of gab is put to the check Adult Sex Cam Free when my eyes move around the room again, looking for something, such a thing to say to separate the silence. Anyway, Brenda understands so just how to exacerbate the situation in her own bizarre way. Emerald includes a nice ass, Brenda comments, sitting her glass of champagne on the nightstand. She is got some very nice breasts, also, Kimberly provides, laughing before she downs her glass of wine in one gulp. Yes, she n oes, Brenda concurs, giggling as she drags her fingers across Kimberly's chest, but never as stunning as yours. It's too poor she couldn't keep and join people, Kimberly sighs, handing Brenda her empty glass. Why do not you examine up on the bed around, Ashleigh? Brenda implies, kissing Kimberly on the lips and falling over to produce space for me personally on the bed.

Brenda's angelic face and warm grin are as provocative as her brown eyes, making her offer to join them extremely difficult for me personally to pass. Kimberly is not helping me to fight it either. Besides that, I am presently having a difficult the time maintaining my anxieties in balance since it is. Judging from their laughing, I'd claim they are both a wee touch tipsy from drinking wine tonight. Anyhow, it's my love for Kimberly and our blossoming relationship that keeps me from joining them. It's too risky and I don't wish to take any chances. You are kidding, right? I ask, an empty look frozen on my face as I shift my eyes back and forth between them, deciphering their intentions.

Bizlogic Adapters and Real Time IssuesPosted by vpandey Jun 20, 2019
Users familiar with business process flow and terms of BPMN could relate what performer are meant for in a process. It can be users, queues, group, system(external system), adapters. Adapters are one of the most widely used performer types in real time flows because of its flexibility to integrate with external systems and adapt the task required at that point of the business flow.
In layman terms, a Bizlogic adapters allows applications to invoke java classes residing in context of Bizlogic server which could be running on remote or local host, to perform a designated task. Adapter framework internally use reflection mechanism to inject the class and its performing method while that adapter workstep is being executed. This definition of adapter workstep is done during design time on BPM Studio(shown below):
Class name and method name are important regardless of developer availing generate code operation or not. Generate code option would generate a skeleton class with class name and performing method available, along with getters and setters for each dataslots that adapter workstep carry. A developer can merely not choose to check that option and write a class of his own with name and performing method same as specified in the dialog above and makes sure to deploy to correct location, so framework can has the accessibility on run time.
Types of Bizlogic Adapters:
There are two types of adapters basically, synchronous and asynchronous. Synchronous adapters are supposed to be executed synchronous to the flow, in other words, regardless of how much time it takes for the adapter class to complete execution Bizlogic or Bizsolo engine waits for the execution to finish.
While on the other hand, asynchronous adapters are just the opposite and it means that when Bizlogic calls this adapter it does not wait for its class' execution to finish as against former kind and proceeds further with application flow. While adapter can finish with its own pace. This kind of adapter is recommended for long running tasks if any we need to perform. Asynchronous adapters can further be categorized into two sub categories, one without output dataslots and one with output dataslots. One without output dataslot is usual asynchronous type and do not need any additional care to construct(the adapter is completed and the application continues to the next workstep). While on the other hand one with output dataslots do behave more like synchronous adapter type because, to complete such adapter it has to call the function completeCallerWS(). The parameters are BizLogic session, process template name, workitem name, and a hashtable that contains dataslot values for you to update before completing the adapter.
The adapter implementation typically uses Java Messaging Service (JMS) APIs and infrastructure. When an adapter is invoked, a JMS messsage gets sent to a JMS Queue. A Message Driven Bean (MDB) listening to this JMS Queue picks up the message, decodes it and executes the adapter
Framework categorizes adapters internally based upon what a developer chooses at design time:
for example, when a user selects an adapter to be "long running" it is internally categorized as enterprise adapter and destination where the messages for these adapters will be sent will be BLEnterpriseAdapterQueue. While on the other hand if user choose it to be not long running, it is categorized as process adapter and messages for these adapter are sent to BLAdapterQueue. There are dedicated MDBs listening to respective queues(mentioned above) to process messages coming in.
Process adapter type can be further categorized to inline adapters. Inline adapters were designed to overcome the overall JMS infra usage of adapter framework. When an engine detects an adapter with "execute in the same thread" flag checked, it directly executes the adapter in the same thread instead of sending a JMS message. Thus, the adapter is executed using the same thread that completed the previous workstep, it is more efficient than usual message sending and consuming way of adapter framework.
Adapter Class Loading:
Business manager application can reload latest version of adapter class dynamically from Bizlogic server without restarting the server. The Bizlogic server is configured to dynamically reload adapter classes from the SBM_HOME\ebmsapps directory defined in sbm.conf file as parameter sbm.application.home. So, when the resources specific to adapters are deployed it goes to sub directories corresponding to SBM_HOME\ebmsapps.
BizLogic allows loading class files from specific locations as well as from JAR files.
• Locations common to all applications
• SBM_HOME\ebmsapps
• SBM_HOME\ebmsapps\common\classes
• SBM_HOME\ebmsapps\common\lib
• Locations specific to an application
• SBM_HOME\ebmsapps\<application name>\lib
Basic essence of dynamic class loading(DCL) is, if there is a class that is already loaded, is modified, or is moved to a new location, then the class needs to be loaded again. The very check "if class is modified" is based on the last modified time of the class file. If the class is in a JAR file, then the check is based on the last modified time of the JAR file as well as the last modified time of the class file(We will talk about DCL in details on different post).
Troubleshooting adapter flow in Bizlogic engine:
In Savvion installation under conf directory the file bizlogic.conf has various debug keys that when enabled logs detailed information on operation type engine is currently executing. Key specific to external performer(adapters) is bizlogic.debug.ep, set this to true to get detailed info on adapter execution.
All supported application server has their own way of dealing with JMS related task, but we will take examples of most widely used application server among the prospects i.e IBM WebSphere Application Server(WAS).
WAS handles all JMS related task with its reserved thread pool named SIBJMSRAThreadPool. An example log message from Bizlogic engine appears as below:
>> BizLogic | DEBUG | ejbServer | BizLogic | EPM.readDataFromMsg(): | SIBJMSRAThreadPool : 6 |#]
So, one should look into such threads specifically for details on adapters execution. But, again there are many other task within Savvion that are handled by JMS infra so this thread pool might have threads performing other operations too(for example tasks from service MDB daemon). Threads that involve com.savvion.sbm.bizlogic.server.EPManager operations are one of your interests if you are troubleshooting adapter threads in JVM.
Frequently encountered issues with adapters on production:
BLAdapter thread count reaching zero!:
This problem usually shows up in application server like Weblogic. Even though this count means that configured executable thread count for this pool has reached its limit, internally, Weblogic pushes all StandBy thread count as well to serve the request coming in. But, if an environment is frequently hitting this situation, it is always recommended to tune this pool and increase the thread count(for Weblogic Server).
Remember, increasing thread count is easy but it very tightly depends on system resources, for example CPU capacity, memory availability and if the adapters frequently does DB operations then involved datasource's pool size as well. For WAS this here is the default setting and how to increase it to custom level.
Adapter stuck in activated state!:
Most frequent and troubling problem in production scenario. Usually when a user complains that adapter is stuck in activated state, it means the state of adapter is active and would not transition to the next state(i.e completed) on its own. There are many possibilities resulting in this state, for example an adapter performing particular operation when activated and took more than the JTA timeout. This is not a normal behavior because and adapter execution is supposed to be as quick as execution of independent java client, hence it requires manual intervention to push flow forward.
This problem is too dependent to environments and also kind of operation that adapter is supposed to perform. It is hard to replicate this behavior in house until such production load is generated and other factors that catalyzes are present. First approach that a level 1 support monitoring/maintaining application takes in such cases is, restart Bizlogic server and it works. If the requests are too much piled up some of these gets cleared up and then rest stagnates again at same state resulting in team taking multiple restart of Bizlogic server to clear entire request(waiting on this state)
As you already know adapter uses JMS infra to complete its execution(sending>Receiving>Processing of messages). If an adapter is stuck in activated state that message sent on behalf of this adapter is gone and is either not processed or lost and this is why it stays in the same state forever until Bizlogic server is restarted. What happens behind the scene is when the Bizlogic server is restarted, it actually re-sends all messages for adapter that were in activated/suspended state while server was being stopped. This is called restarting external services internally. This pushes the activated adapter message once again to the queue and makes it available for MDBs to process it. It is tiring process and most of all not acceptable on most production environment(although this is only first aid that could be done until now for this problem).
We could extract the essence of what happens during Bizlogic server restart and use it through a Bizlogic application to simulate restart. In other words, it is possible to extract the operation specific to external service that happens during restart and stuff it within Bizlogic adapter and run it as application within same environment. To go into further details, behind the scene Bizlogic engine calls >> BLControl.doRestartExternalServices(); to resend messages for already activate and suspended adapter. Now this call is specific to clustered environment and engines makes sure it checks for it( also controlled by parameter exposed in configuration file). It is very rare that this situation would show up on standalone environment, but if it does we might have to handle setting the param on the fly like >> BLUtil.self().setClustering(true);; to finally call doRestartExternalServices(). We will talk about that later if needed, but meanwhile after all we discussed lets compile it in short snippet and this is all we need to put in a performing method of an adapter of an Bizlogic application that can have just this adapter as a workstep:
System.out.println("Resuming external services");
System.out.println("Done Resuming external services");
If this application is deployed to the environment that run into mentioned problem, we can create instances of it to signal engine to restart external services the way it happens when Bizlogic server is restarted. It will avoid manual bouncing of servers to clear out the stuck adapter stack(refer).
Note: User can detect all adapter worksteps in activated status by executing the following query:
select process_instance_id, workstep_name from bizlogic_workstepinstance where type=107 and status =18;
Adapter suspended but the resume does not work!:
When the adapter execution fails and throws an exception to the caller, the BizLogic server captures that remote exception, logs the message and stack trace, suspends the Adapter workstep. BizLogic tries to re-invoke the adapter. After specified re-tries(configurable), BizLogic generates two events, EP_AFTERBREAK and W_SUSPENDED.
Then, according to the requirement, applications can use any of the events to take further action. EP_AFTERBREAK is fired to register that retry for executing adapter was done and it could be fixed within span retries.
Bizlogic.log and EJBServer.log (SystemOut.log in WAS) is the best place to look for the reason of failure in such cases. If the logs are rolling over with high rate we can look up the event for the PI that has adapter failing and filter those events mentioned above on this adapter workstep. These events carry stack(reason) for failure. Any admin user having access to BPM Portal admin tab can browse to Audit event section and can filter with event, PT, PI etc.

Downtown Seattle has added 85,000 jobs since 2010, and nine out of 10 of new jobs in the city are technology-related.
That's according to a new report from the Downtown Seattle Association, citing data from Emsi and CBRE. Housing has not kept pace with the job growth. Seattle added an estimated 32,000 housing units from 2010 to 2016, though the city is now building at a faster rate and the market is cooling slightly.
Rapid job creation in the lucrative tech sector combined with lagging housing development has created a crisis that disproportionately affects low- and middle-income Seattleites. In an interview with GeekWire, Downtown Seattle Association CEO Jon Scholes said the tech industry has been "unfairly blamed" for that crisis:
"I think the tech community has been unfairly blamed for the situation that we face today, which is this imbalance of jobs and housing that they've created in the last decade. The tech community did their job by creating lots of new opportunities and jobs for folks with great benefits and pay and 401Ks, and that's what we want them to be doing. And we want them to be doing it in the middle of our city, not way out on the edge, which creates a bunch of impact. So in my mind, they've done their jobs and they've also been blamed for the pressure that the job creation has put on housing. But guess what? They don't control zoning in the city. They don't control those limits and regulations. That's controlled by city officials."
The tech industry was a key topic of discussion Friday afternoon at the Downtown Seattle Association's annual State of Downtown event. More than 1,300 attendees gathered at Seattle's new Hyatt Regency hotel for an update on the city's urban core. The Downtown Seattle Association represents many of the big tech employers driving job growth in the region, including Amazon.
Scholes counted a series of experiments in Seattle over the past year as victories for downtown, including dockless bike-sharing and a pilot of UPS delivery cargo bikes. Then a photo of activists fighting over Seattle's short-lived "head tax" appeared on the screen behind Scholes.
"There were some experiments that fared better than others last year," he told the crowd, which broke out in reticent laughter.
That moment showed the shadow that the head tax has cast over Seattle as its tech industry, lawmakers, and community activists attempt to forge a path forward on housing and homelessness.
Last year, the Seattle City Council passed a tax on the city's top-grossing businesses to fund affordable housing. Faced with opposition from Amazon and others in the tech and business community, the Council repealed the tax less than a month later. It was a bitter fight that created animosity between the tech companies adding jobs in the city and progressives who feel the industry isn't doing enough to mitigate growth.
The tension has even followed Amazon to its new home; two Seattle City Councilmembers visited New York City, where Amazon a giant new office, to warn about the impacts of tech growth.
"This is a huge opportunity for us as a community to come together," Councilmember Teresa Mosqueda told the New York crowd. "Because while we lost the effort in Seattle, the Mexican proverb comes to mind, which is, 'they thought they could bury us. They didn't know we were seeds.'"
Scholes believes responsibility for the housing crisis should be shifted back to the public sector.
"I think those city officials need to begin to make some bold moves to allow more housing in the city or we're going to continue to face that challenge," he said. "They can continue to point the finger at the tech community and that's not going to lead to one more unit of housing being built."

At first, I couldn't decide if this should be a Test it Out Tuesday or Wellness Wednesday post. Since we use a significant amount of honey and sugar, I figured it wasn't really all that healthy. We're very lucky to not have any peanut allergies in our home. Luckier still to be able to play with this awesome craft when the mood strikes us. It strikes Pie more often than I'm willing to pull it together, but it's great for the whole family because it's delicious and fun! Today we're sharing our peanut butter play dough recipe. Here's what we did:
This recipe makes about 8 servings and the dough can be stored in the refrigerator or the freezer. In the past I've used popsicle sticks, just plain old silverware, bowls, and cups. Basically whatever won't hurt her and isn't dirty. While it may not be super healthy for you, it really is delicious and fun. I've taken this stuff on road trips and it was a wonderful treat for her to play and eat while stuck in the car for so many hours. If your baker has tried this craft, tell us about it and send us a photo! We'd love to see them and we will share some with our friends on our Facebook page. What kind of "baking supplies" did you guys use on with your dough?

All the pieces are in place to turn FLSR into my biggest pick to date
*FLSR is set to dominate the accessory market. With revolutionary new design their portable spittoons are a modern day approach to a classic device with great historic value.
*FLSR offers the perfect solution to a much overlooked problem for millions of users with a exclusive Thumb-Lok twist cap.
*Massive marketing campaigns on social media Facebook, Youtube, Twitter etc. and in-store promotional material assure moist tobacco users will turn to FLSR as the company has no competition with its unique line of products. A ready-to-go distribution network, bricks and mortar and online reaching 85% of the retail outlets in the U.S.
*FLSR plays into a constantly growing and much overlooked industry of an estimated $6.2 BILLION USD in revenue.
FLSR is the next big thing in the smokeless tobacco industry with forward-thinking designs to appeal to professionals who use tobacco, FLSR is broadening its reach with initiatives and flask designs aimed toward key audiences.
Sponsorship of NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Reed Sorenson and his No. 36 Tommy Baldwin Racing (TBR) team. The NASCAR fan base and community could be a breakout audience for the company as they grow the brand.
Partnership with T Roy Broussard
An alligator hunter on the reality show "Swamp People" and a professional angler. One of the flasks has a design to match T Roy's pro bass boat and truck.
While the company is currently focused on its U.S. audience and campaigns, the fact of the matter is that reaching an international market could blow share prices sky high.
According to the World Health Organization, approximately 250 million adults consume smokeless tobacco in the 11 countries representing the South-East Asia Region.
That's 90% of global smokeless tobacco users. Asian sales are on fire. The World Health Organization reports that of Chinaâ??s 1.3 billion population, more than 300 million already smokeâ??and, like in the U.S., they could all potentially be smokeless tobacco users down the line.
Imagine what that could do to share prices!
Bottom line, smokeless tobacco buyers spend more than $2,000 annually each at convenience stores to support their habit.
Spending less than $5 to purchase a FLASR flask, making life easier and cleaner, is a no-brainer. (Indeed, that's less than the cost of a can or pouch of tobacco in many states.)
New designs and partnerships could be announced anytimeâ?¦and you can guess what might happen to share prices.
It seems like the time is right for FLSR, hitting a robust industry in a hot streak, with a unique and hip product.

System Restore failing
My doughter came to me today and said her PC wasn't working anymore. So I made a W7 Repair Disk (USB) as she has no optical drive. That was a struggle but was able to do so anyway.
But theoptions to restore are not working
System Recovery shows me there is a problem with bootmgr. It says the following startup options will be added. Name: Windows 10 Pro (recovered)...
Does this mean she was somehow fooled into upgrading to W10? I know she has stated she does not want W10, so I dont think she was trying to do so.
So system recovery fails with "Failed to save startup options.
Trying to recover with an image gives me "An internal error occurred. The following information might help you resolve the error. The system cannot find the file specified. (0x80070002)
System Restore says "To use System Restore, you must specify which Windows installation to restore. Restart your operating system, and then select system restore. (But I cannot as it crashes with a bootmgr failure)
I have system inage files from backup and restore from the last time I did a fresh install. I wanted to avoid the 24 hour task of installing drivers and all of the fixes.
Is there a utility I can run from a USB to restore a Windows Image Backup?

It sounds as its updated to win10 can you red the disk anyway and see if there is windows.old folder s its updated so you will need the win10 usb to repair

I've been watching and listening to the presentations from the Mindfulness Summit, which is happening over October. Well worth the time if you have any interest in awareness or consciousness.
On Friday, there was a presentation by Tara Brach. One story she told caught my attention, not for the actual content of the story but the message it held.
I've touched on the topic of the stories we tell ourselves before, but within the context of the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves.
Tara was reminding us that we tell stories to ourselves about others.
Mindfulness is one way of becoming aware that we are listening to our stories about people and not seeing the people in our lives.
If you're not quite sure what I mean, think of the labels you use to describe others. Try a couple of good ones like Muslim or Infidel; Christian or Atheist; Republican or Democrat.
There is always a person underneath the label – a person just like you.
There is only one source and we all come from that source. Using different names for source does not change the nature of source or our relationship with it or each other.
Something to think about the next time you catch yourself labelling another.
Thanks for dropping by, Peter.

Lofsöngur (Icelandic: Hymn; also called Ó Guð vors lands which means O, God of Our Land in English) is the national anthem of the European country of Iceland. It was written for the celebration of the 1000th anniversary of the first norse settlement of Iceland.[1] But it wasn't considered a nation anthem for another 40 years.[1] The anthem contains three stanzas, but only the first one is usually sung.
