Consider the following scenario. You install Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Integration Services from a 64-bit version of Microsoft SQL Server 2005. In System Monitor, you try to add the SQL Server:SSIS Pipeline performance object. In this scenario, the SQL Server:SSIS Pipeline performance object does not appear in the Performance object list. The Performance object list is in the Add Counters dialog box in System Monitor.
One possible cause for this issue is that SQL Server Setup incorrectly sets the Library registry entry for the 64-bit SQL Server:SSIS Pipeline performance object to the location of the 32-bit performance object.
When you install Integration Services from a 64-bit version of SQL Server 2005, the Setup program sets the Library registry entry to the following string value: DriveLetter :\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\90\DTS\Binn\DTSPipelinePerf.dll
Note DriveLetter is a placeholder for the drive where you install Integration Services.In this string value, the DTSPipelinePerf.dll file is a 32-bit performance library.
The Library registry entry is under the following registry subkey:

Six million pounds and counting, that's how much green waste has been cleared from storm ravaged Big Island roads and neighborhoods.
Along with cleaning up, efforts are underway to prevent this type of damage in the future by targeting an invasive species that threatens to take over Hawaii.
Click here to watch Paul Drewes' report.
On Tuesday, trucks after truck rumbled up to the Big Island's newest green waste landfill.
It opened at the old Sanford Quarry in lower Puna.
"The advantage of this site is it is much closer to the areas that were affected by Tropical Storm Iselle. If the county were to haul that back to Hilo, it would be about 20 miles each way. That would cut into the hauling time, making it more difficult and complicated," said Hawaii County Spokesman Kevin Dayton.
The trucks have been busy getting rid of the massive amount of green waste caused by Tropical Storm Iselle.
"We make eight to nine runs a day, maybe 10. The faster they fill us up, the quicker we can get back out there for another load," said truck driver Manuel Nobriega.
Much of the landfill is filled with Albizia trees, which littered the lower Puna landscape after the storm.
"80-90% of the damage was from Albizia trees. The broken branches damaged power lines and the fallen trees blocked roads, most of that was Albizia trees," said Sen. Russell Ruderman.
Because of the extensive damage from the invasive trees during the high winds of the storm, a task force gathered to map out a plan to prevent this kind of damage in the future.
"This is a terribly invasive species. We have to do something about the Albizia trees to stop them from spreading, but it will take time to do that," said U.S. Senator Brian Schatz.
So far, 830 tons of green waste have been dumped at the Pahoa transfer station by residents. While commercial truckers have brought in 2,200 tons to the new landfill.
There are still a lot more fallen branches and downed trees to bring in.
"The vast majority of this material has come from county roadways. There's about 331 miles of county and private roadways in the lower Puna area, so there's still a great deal of work to be done," added Dayton.
Meanwhile the growing mountain of Albizia waste, shows just how much of an impact this invasive species has had on the Big Island.
"We're already 50 feet up from the bottom of the landfill. The way we're going we'll be as tall as Mauna Kea before we're done," said Nobriega.

Letters: Racism is not monochromatic
Eddie Boggs, Westminster
Racism is not monochromatic
Racism is an ugly word. When someone mentions racism, the first thoughts to enter most people's minds is a white male with a very Southern accent and a Southern battle flag flying near by. Here's a wake-up call for all of you reading this: Racism is not monochromatic.
To put it in common language, racism is not just one color. Racism is like the rainbow, multicolored and stretching across the world. Wherever you go on the earth, there is some group that doesn't like another that differs from them. The other group's skin color may be different; however, skin color has to do with pigments, not a people's worth.
Dr. King said, "There is but one race, the human race." I agree, and if we could only see with our hearts and not our eyes we would realize color has nothing to do with worth. Some people would be bad no matter the color.
Once again, racism is not monochromatic. It is all colors' responsibility to realize that and come together to change this world for the betterment of all.

First thing you have to understand is that I am crazy about my dog. She is a wonderfully smart, beautiful, 3-year-old German Shepard. See, for a while I have been looking for something I could make her and that was cute. A lot of people tend to be frightened at first when they see her, and I thought something cute would help make her more approachable. But she's too big for a sweater (and we live in Maryland where it is never that cold). My husband refuses to dress her in anything girly, so no bright collar with flowers. And then the idea for this pattern hit me…
See we live in a pretty urban area, and the law at our condo is to pick up your pet's waste. I, of course, always forget to bring poop bags when we go for walks. And I thought, if Fayette had a purse, we would always have poop bags.
The matching leash is made with Crochet Nylon because it is very strong and durable if it gets wet. I am happy to report that this leash has been strong enough to take on my hyperactive 65lb puppy. I used Tunisian crochet for the leash, but if you want, the leash can always be made with sc instead. Lastly, decorating the leash and purse is half the fun, so go ahead and be creative!
US pattern notations usedCh = chainYO = yarn over Sc = single crochetSl st = slip stitchTSS = Tunisian simple stitch: skip first vertical bar, *insert hook under next vertical bar, YO, pull up loop*, repeat * to *. For more information, see the tutorial in our April/May '05 issue.
Ch 5.
Row 1: (forward) insert hook in 2nd ch, YO, pull up loop, (insert hook in next ch, YO, pull up loop) in each ch across – 5 loops on hook.
(reverse) YO and pull thru one loop, *YO and pull through two loops*, repeat * to * across to end.
Row 2: (forward) TSS across (see Detail 1).
Continue in Row 2 until piece measures 52" or however long you like your leash to be.
Last Row: Skip first vertical bar and * pull up loop in next vertical bar, YO and pull through two loops*, repeat * to * across to end.
Finish off by tucking in loose ends.
Ch 10.
Round 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in next 7 ch across, sc twice in end ch, working in bottom loops of chain, sc in next 8 ch, sc twice in bottom of beginning ch, join with sl st to first sc, do not turn. (20 sc)
Round 2: Ch 1, sc around in back loop only. Join with sl st.
Round 3-6: Ch 1, sc around. Join with sl st.
Round 7 : Ch 1, in back loop only, sc in first 9 sts, 2 sc in next st, sc in next 9 sts, 2 sc in last st. Join with sl st. (22 sc)
Round 8-12: Ch 1, sc around. Join with sl st.
Round 13: Ch 1, in back loop only, sc in first 10 sts, 2 sc in next st, sc in next 10 sts, 2 sc in last st. Join with sl st. (24 sc)
Round 14-17: Ch 1, sc around. Join with sl st.
Row 18: Ch 1, sl st in first 5 sc.
Row 19 (forward) Into next 4 sc, insert hook, YO, and pull up one loop. - 5 loops on hook
(reverse) YO and pull through one loop, *YO and pull through two loops*, repeat *to* across to end.
Row 20: (forward) TSS across (see Detail 1, above)
Continue Row 20 until handle measures about 4".
Row 34: Skip first vertical bar and *pull up loop in next vertical bar, YO pull through two loops*, repeat *to* across to end. Ch 1, turn.
Row 35: Sc in first stitch and each stitch across. Ch 1, turn. (5 sc)
Row 36: Sc in first sc, ch 3, sc in last sc. Ch 1, turn.
Row 37: Sc in first sc, (sc in ch-3 space) 3 times, sc in last sc. Ch 1, turn. (Buttonhole made)
Row 38: Sl st in each sc across.
Finish off and tuck in loose ends.
I'm very glad you love your dog and want to make her seem more approachable. From the picture she looks like a nice example of the breed. However, PLEASE realize the spelling of the breed is "German ShepHERD Dog". This is because they are a noble working herding animal developed to HERD. Today, their uses have become unlimited. This is not an uncommon mistake. As a breeder I receive inquiries about "shepards", "sheperds" and "shephards". This is a cute pattern and thank you for sharing it!
Wow, never thought about making a purse for my puppy, although I must say that she could almost fit in it, not so much now that she's 7 months old and about 11 lbs. I'm glad that you said to use Nylon thread, I've been going through the puppy chewing stages, and NOTHING is safe from MOlly's chewing. I'd crocheted her a cute sweater, and two days after I gave it to her, she'd already chewed it up in several places, mostly beyond repair. Maybe I'll have to try that nylon thread, I hope it works to at least help keep her sweaters together for a few days longer. Plus, I think I'll try the leash, and maybe see about a collar too.
SO EXCITED to make this purse/leash set for my itty-bitty yorkie-poo!! Was just in home depot yesterday & saw reflective nylon thread (wandering while the boy looked at drill bits)...wanted to buy it because I knew it had potential for a knitting/crochet project, resisted (trying to get my stash under control) but will be heading back soon to decide between day-glo yellow or hot pink for Sookie's new leash.
I have been making these wonderful sets as gifts and also to sell at charity events. They are fantastic and fun to make! This is a great pattern and thank you ever so much for sharing!!!! My two dogs, one a German Shepherd and the other is a German Shepherd/Dalmatian mix. They each have their own set and they work great!!

Saying something was for the best might not be so comforting to hear after all.
That's according to The Boundaries of Minimization as a Technique for Improving Affect: Good for the Goose But Not for the Gander? a new report from Kristin W. Grover of the University of Vermont, who notes these cliches do more harm than good, minimizing a loss rather than rationalizing, commiserating, or empathizing with it.
"Unfortunately, research suggests that these types of minimizations are both ubiquitous and experienced by their recipients as entirely unhelpful," Grover writes in the paper. "[But] when people engage in their own brand of minimization [self-generated minimization] they can successfully improve their affect."
Using a 7-point positive-affect scale in which 1 was the most negative reaction and 7 was the most positive reaction, Grover found that when someone's unfortunate experience was minimized by another person such as a colleague, he or she rated the interaction 4. When the participant minimized his or her own experience, however, the average rating was 4.6.
The reason for this is simple, Grover says. People perceive themselves as "greater" messengers than others, so they have to deal with a loss before they minimize it in order to cope with it. So if someone says, "It could've been worse," before the person is ready to hear it, that only "adds insult to injury," says Grover. "Externally-generated minimizations can make recipients feel isolated, as though others do not understand their feelings, self-generated minimizations--because they come from the self--should not have this same effect."
So the next time someone brings you their troubles, just be a good listener instead.

One of Patrick's beloved white horses was saddled up and had the actor's boots placed in its stirrups backward, to honor the star.
"It's an old horseman tradition," a source told the mag.
Planned by his wife, Lisa Niemi, in addition to the white horse, which carried Patrick's boots, attendees of the ceremony witnessed many personal photos of the star and a video tribute.
Additionally, professional dancers put on a performance to honor Patrick.
"A whole dance floor was built," another source told the mag. "The dancers did these amazing numbers."

'Telly' to link patients, doctors
The New Year will bring a new way for patients at McKeesport's John J. Kane Regional Center to contact doctors.
Beginning at Glen Hazel, three of the four Allegheny County-run Kane skilled nursing and rehabilitation centers will get telemedicine ties to University of Pittsburgh Medical Center hospitals.
"The roll-out of telemedicine at McKeesport is anticipated by late January after all staff are trained," said county spokeswoman Amie Downs.
Using a device called "Telly," a UPMC clinician will be able to remotely perform a history and physical examination of a patient.
It can include a patient's eyes, ears, nose, throat, lungs, heart, abdomen, skin, extremities and nervous system.
"Telemedicine used by nurse practitioners to conduct consultations primarily for an acute change in condition in the nursing home is effective in the medical management of residents," said Dr. Steven Handler, medical director for long-term care technology at UPMC Senior Communities.
"Bringing telemedicine to the Kane centers will improve the speed and efficiency with which residents receive medical consultations when there is a change in their health," county Executive Rich Fitzgerald said. "It will also reduce the need to transport residents to a hospital or emergency room, which is difficult for some of them."
The Kane center in Ross Township is on the list to get a telemedicine link along with Glen Hazel and McKeesport, but not the Kane center in Scott Township.
"Scott was not eligible because of the number of non-Medicare/Medical assistance residents," Downs said.
Handler is medical director of telemedicine and health information technology for UPMC's RAVEN program.
RAVEN stands for Reduce AVoidable hospitalizations using Evidence-based interventions for Nursing facilities in Western Pennsylvania.
In September 2012 RAVEN was one of seven initiatives chosen by the federal government for collaboration with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, which gave UPMC a $19 million grant.
The goal was to improve care, lower costs and reduce hospital readmission rates.
Handler said a feasibility study conducted at UPMC's Canterbury Place senior community in Lawrenceville showed that telemedicine as used by nurse practitioners "avoids the need for face-to-face visits, and can help avoid resident transfers to the hospital/emergency department."
"Telly" will not replace all direct face-to-face care.
"We recognize that a patient's physician or nurse practitioner is sometimes not available at the skilled nursing facility to evaluate and treat the resident when there is a change in their usual state of health," Kane executive director Dennis Biondo said.
County officials said family members with a telephone or computer will be able to link with "Telly," to be involved in decisions about treatment options and/or change to a patient's care plan.

I'm 29 years old, and I've been crocheting for a couple years, since I was pregnant with my son. I had to give up due to carpal tunnel syndrome, but once I got over it, I came back to crocheting, with a passion! Once I discovered amigurumi, I was well and truly hooked (no pun intended). Nowadays, I spend all my spare time dreaming up new amigurumi patterns and techniques!

Two bystanders foiled a strong-armed robbery Wednesday night by tackling a man accused of stealing a purse inside an Orlando store.
Police arrested Odis Paul Tucker, 38, who they said took a woman's purse inside of the Cell Brothers store on South Semoran Boulevard at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday. Police said the victim was dragged out of the store by her purse and when she finally let go, he attempted to get into an SUV.
Tucker, however, was stopped by the Good Samaritans, Orlando police said. The two men tackled Tucker and held it down until police arrived, according to officials.
Tucker was arrested and taken to the Orange County Jail.

Animal magnetism: Abilene Zoo veterinarian has passion for helping creatures
Abilene Zoo veterinarian has passion for helping creatures
On any given work day, Misty Garcia might jump into a pond full of alligators, grapple a feisty bird or flee an angry hog.
Of course, being the veterinarian at the Abilene Zoo, she also might spend the day drudging through paperwork and managerial tasks.
Garcia's work is unpredictable because she, along with the entire zoo staff, is responsible for the health and well-being of more than 600 animals.
"It's a unique position," Garcia said. "I get to work with animals that some people never get to touch."
Along with that privilege comes the challenge of understanding how to take care of all those exotic creatures.
Garcia earned an undergraduate degree in biology, followed by four years in veterinary school and three externships at zoos across the nation.
She said that although she grew up enjoying her family pets, she never envisioned herself to be a veterinarian.
During college, she developed a passion for zoo medicine and quickly discovered the difficulty in landing a job at a zoo.
"It's a hard field to break into because there aren't many zoos," Garcia said.
"Zoo medicine is one of those paths where it is all about experience. You have to keep getting experience until a door opens up," Garcia said.
The Abilene Zoo opened its door to Garcia in February. Since then, her mending hands have come in contact with scales, feathers, manes, whiskers, beaks, bristles, quills, fangs and more.
Garcia's intentions are always in the animals' best interest, yet they fear her.
"I've got a bad reputation with the animals. They know me when they're sick. It's not the same kind of interaction that the keepers have with the animals," Garcia said.
Although the zookeepers build a trusting relationship through positive conditioning such as bringing fresh food and water, Garcia is the one poking and prodding them when they are ill.
Garcia said she practices zoo medicine because she loves it, even if the animals don't appreciate her work.
She said her goal is to have a healthy animal collection at the Abilene Zoo. She treats the sick, works to prevent disease and maintains a comfortable environment for all of her patients.

10 tips to help you navigate the upcoming furlough storm
In the tumultuous ocean of the current economy and the waves crashing upon us, it's easy to feel like we're drowning.
How much the upcoming furlough will impact individuals and families varies with preparedness. The Fleet & Family Support Center has come up with some tips to help you prepare and successfully plan to navigate through the "furlough storm" and see the sun through the clouds.
A quote by Winston Churchill states it best: "Let our advance worrying become advance thinking and planning."
Use a furlough calculator to see the difference in your income. Use an NMCI computer to access a calculator to help adjust your budget with your new and temporary circumstances. Find the calculator at: www.navylifesw.com/hosted/ffsc/pdfs/FurloughPayCalculator.xls-
Make a financial plan to stay afloat. Now is a good time to evaluate your net worth. Add up your assets (what you own) then subtract your liabilities (what you owe) to see your overall financial standing. Also, review your free credit report at www.annualcreditreport.com to make sure it is accurate and you're not paying excessive interest based on an incorrect credit score.
Plug your spending "leaks." A small hole in a boat can still make it sink, but it can be easier to fix! Take a look at your expenses and determine where you can fix those holes. Can you reduce your utility costs? Bundle your cable, Internet and phone? Ask for temporary rate cuts on credit cards? Suspend your student loan payments due to hardship? Become a more savvy shopper by using coupons, buying store brands and planning your menu? When dealing with creditors, inquire as to whether they have a "hardship department" that you can speak with.
Put on your life vest. You're not the only one in this boat, and surrounding yourself with positive, supportive people will help make this time easier. Start a support group to talk about stress. Make goals, get organized, learn new hobbies and figure out some free activities you can all do together.
Get everyone on board. Talk with your family about the change ahead and the impact it will have. Brainstorm cost-saving ideas or free activities to do in your area. Be sure to include your kids — they're creative, and usually what they think is fun means spending time together.
Figure out strategies to lessen the impact. Focus on doing something positive on furlough days. Plan to visit friends, exercise, do yard work or tackle those projects that you haven't had time for. Avoid places where you will be tempted to spend money. Don't be afraid to use a portion of your emergency savings to help you make up for lost income, but do so with caution.
Don't panic. Avoid eliminating something temporarily that could mean more of a loss in the long run. Borrowing from your investments or retirement funds might lessen your immediate money squeeze, but it will also add more debt, thereby increasing your monthly obligations. If you eliminate TSP contributions, especially if you receive matching funds, you could be affecting your tax obligations — not to mention the reduction in matching funds. Continue to pay your bills on time, as you don't want to hurt your credit or add late fees.
Use your local resources. They include:
— Employee Assistance Program: www.acispecialtybenefits.com or 800-932-0034.
— Local Food Pantry: Call 211 on a land line and ask for the location of your local pantry.
— Fleet and Family Support Center, 805-982-5037, for financial counseling or clinical counselors for individual or family counseling.
— Consumer Credit Counseling Agency, SUREPATH Financial Solutions at 1-877-615-7873.
Stay informed of the situation. Furlough information sources include the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) at www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/furlough-guidance/#url=Shutdown-Furlough or the Department of Navy furloughs frequently asked questions at www.public.navy.mil/donhr/Pages/FurloughGuidanceIssued.aspx.
Focus on the horizon and stay on a steady course. After you've taken the opportunity to revamp your current finances, maintain a positive attitude to ride out this storm. It might get a little rough, but if you are realistic with your situation and make the necessary adjustments and stick to your plan, you will be able to survive this storm.
You can do this! When you utilize your resources with the proper plan and willingness to make a few minor adjustments, you'll come out of this with minimal sacrifice. More importantly, you will solidify your confidence and the tools to ensure sound fiscal management.
— Kirstin Davy is a financial educator with the Fleet & Family Support Center at Naval Base Ventura County, Port Hueneme.

Can I use a mSATA SSD (64 GB) within the M92z AIO?
With a micro solid state drive (mSATA SSD), will my computer still boot faster than a regular plate drive? What about compared to a SATA SSD?
Will the operating system be loaded on the mSATA SSD when the system is delivered? (Online purchase)
The ThinkCentre M92z AIO 20 inch and 23 inch mdoel have a full height mPCIe slot, which you can put a mSATA SSD in.
See here for the position of mPCIe slot: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=PD023943
The mSATA SSD can be used as a separate harddrive, or as an expresscache drive, which is used to boost the performance of the main hdd by storing some frequently used files in the mSATA drive. From one of our forum user opinion, the speed is never going to be as fast running the OS directly from the mSATA SSD or from the SSD installed into the system.
However, Lenovo does not ship the mSATA SSD (if ordered with the ThinkCentre M92z) with the OS and recovery partition installed. If you want to use the mSATA as the main harddrive, you have to install the OS on the mSATA yourself.
The reason why OS is not installed on the mSATA SSD is due to space restriction. With the recovery partition and the OS + drivers installed it is already 40GB gone from the 64GB mSATA, which makes it useless as a main drive.

The Irish Village
Ever-popular Irish pub next to the tennis stadium 20 Reviews
From Time Out Dubai Eating Out 2009
Like all 'pubs' in Dubai, The Irish Village is not so much a public house as a hotel bar in drag – nevertheless, its cobbled interior and surly staff adequately convey the gloom of an Irish winter, even in the Dubai sun.
There's a wide selection of pub grub at standard prices and, although the quality is as flatly average is it's possible to get, your meal is likely to come out at lightning speed, even if the place is packed.
And it is generally busy – as much as The Irish Village doesn't impress as an eatery, it is incredibly popular as a bar. This is particularly notable in winter, when the massive outdoor area is packed out every day with cheerful revellers.
And while the staff may leave something to be desired – you'll generally find one chipper waiter for every three glowering ogres – the atmosphere generated by the other patrons is more than enough to make up for it.
It's worth checking its website for news, because The Irish Village often plays host to quality bands. There's also a gift shop, should you feel that your time in Dubai would not be complete without a giant Guinness hat or fuzzy shamrock.By Time Out Dubai staff

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
Many excess insurance policies provide that coverage is not available unless all underlying insurers have first paid the full limits of their policies. Relying on such language, excess insurers argue that when a policyholder settles a claim with an underlying insurer for less than the full limits of their policy, the policyholder forfeits any coverage under the excess policy. In recent years, many courts have begun accepting this common excess carrier argument, including most recently a New York appellate court in Forest Laboratories v. Arch Insurance Company. In the wake of this appellate decision, it is important for New York policyholders to understand the risk the decision presents, and what they can do to avoid it.
In Forest Laboratories, the policyholder was covered by an $80 million insurance tower, consisting of eight separate $10 million layers, with insurance company RSUI providing the "top" layer of coverage. Under the RSUI policy, coverage did not "attach" until the underlying limits of coverage had been exhausted by "actual payment of a Covered Claim pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Underlying Insurance." The policyholder incurred more than $80 million to defend against and ultimately settle a securities action, looked to its insurance to cover these costs, but settled with some of the underlying insurers for less than their full $10 million limits. Given that the full limits of underlying insurance had not been paid by the insurers, RSUI argued that coverage under its excess policy did not attach.
The trial court agreed with RSUI. Although the attachment language at issue did not, as some excess policies do, explicitly state that the underlying limits must have been "paid by the insurer" (as opposed to the insured), the trial court held that this requirement was implicit in the policy language which provided that the underlying limits must be paid "pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Underlying Insurance." The appellate court unanimously affirmed.
This case joins a growing list in which courts, considering attachment language similar to that at issue in Forest Laboratories, have found that when a policyholder chooses to accept less than 100 cents on the dollar in a settlement with an underlying insurer, it may forfeit coverage from an insurer higher in the tower.
Most in the policyholder bar strongly disagree with the reasoning in Forest Laboratories and other similar decisions. Reading into excess policies a forfeiture of coverage when the policyholder settles with underlying insurers for less than the full policy limits serves only to create delay and uncertainty, impede settlement and promote litigation. Nevertheless, these decisions cannot simply be ignored. Instead, policyholders should focus on practical solutions to avoid the risk presented by such decisions. For example:
Excess coverage – which exists to protect policyholders against the largest and financially perilous claims – is of no value if it does not attach. Forest Laboratories and other similar decisions risk making excess coverage far less valuable, but through informed policy language negotiation and creative settlement strategies, policyholders can take steps to ensure they avoid forfeiture of their excess coverage.

So basically, it's easy to guess things about people because of their avatar. If their avatar was of a cat pooping rainbows, they probably like the Nyan Cat. If they have a picture of a dude with orange spiky hair wearing headphones, they probably like TWEWY. If Pinkie Pie's somewhere in their avatar, they have been assassimilated into the herd.
So, this the the thread to put that to the test. Try guessing something about the user above you, using their avatar to help you.

About Amy
When I began this blog in 2005, I was working as a counselor in an abortion clinic and had just suffered my second miscarriage. Having children, or not having children, was very much on my mind. I described motherhood as my "urgent but ambivalent aspiration." I wanted to write about that, about my work, and about "choice" from this wider context.
And then my marriage quite suddenly fell apart, and I found myself writing about that too.
Over the years, this blog has become a haven for me, a refuge, and a lens through which I frame my experience and gain perspective. When I learned that I have breast cancer, there was no question in my mind: I would blog my way through this as well.
My hope is that by sharing my story, readers might find solace, humor, insight, inspiration – something of use to take into battle in their own life's challenges.
I have received so much in return. Watching my readership grow from a handful each week to hundreds daily has been thrilling. Some readers have been with me for years, for which I am humbled and awed and eternally grateful. What a gift it is to have a tribe following my journey and cheering me along! We all deserve that!
These days I'm working hard to update the blog. I want to list resources for people with cancer and those that support them. The woefully out-of-date fertility and choice links need revamping. Plus I want to provide tips and encouragement on gathering a tribe of supporters around whatever you face, whether we're talking about fun, self-imposed challenges or not fun, life-altering traumas.
I've also begun a YouTube channel, where I vlog about cancer, life, and the silly cute funny things my dog Millie does to entertain me every day. If there's anything you'd like to see there, or here on the blog, I'd love to hear from you. Drop me an email, or post a comment below.
13 comments:
I admire your bravery, and think that your honest and direct discourse will help others learn how to address difficult, painful issues and experiences. Thank you for sharing your stories, and teaching us that whatever challenges that we are faced with can be dealt with and talked about openly, with a sense of humor, but most importantly, with a greater purpose to eradicate fear.
I am so sorry for all the "not so good" stuff that has been sent your way. I lost 5 babies and know the deep loneliness, bitterness, sadness, and just plain anger that goes along with it, but your ability to face it head on and give the experience voice is breathtaking. You are amazing. I wish you strength in your current battle.
Stumbled upon your blog and stayed.
I feel a deep connection to someone so far away on another continent who cares so deeply.
Go get better and better Amy!
You can do this! I know it is tough but it gets better. I was diagnosised last June and after 3 surgeries, 6 cycles of chemo (also did a clinical trial) and 30 doses of radiation, I am just about 80% back to normal in just a little over 2 months since my last chemo cycle. I did in fact have my first "bad hair day" today, which at this point still consists of about a half dozen half inch hairs sticking straight up rather then laying flat like the rest. Keep fighting and laugh whenever you can, it really is the best medicine.
Stumbled on your blog last night and kept on reading!
I was diagnosed with breast cancer in January this year. I am writing my way through it too on my facebook page (shafeenaaz nurmahomed). Can I add you on FB?
Love the way you write...the honesty of your accounts and the incredible way you have with words!
Do try alternative medicines as support--Reikki , healing touch, and acupuncture were all a great help to me. Acupuncture is especially helpful during chemo.
For me, lymphedema was a harder thing to accept than the mastectomies (no reconstruction).
Try to find a local resource for treatments with the LymphStarPro, cold laser. It reversed mine to the point I am free of the sleeve and gauntlet except for flights. Phone around. I found that service at an acupuncture office in the San Diego area.
Hang in there. My thoughts are with you. Teresa M.
I really like your blog. Do you have an email that is not public?

Hi to everyone who has commented here. I'm sorry I've been slow in responding but I do read these as they come in, and it means a lot to me to hear from each of you and I appreciate the afvice too.
If you have not been following, I'm happy to report that I am doing well now, even completing a 70-mile triathlon about a month ago and had a blast doing it. I hope you all are doing well and thriving too!
Karen, you can email me at amy at amykstudio dot com
Dear Amy,
How can I ever thank you for your generously giving of yourself. I was diagnosed with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma w/ calcificstions. I am a total wreck. The biopsy was like woah ! The MRI with dye was a nightmare. 11 times they missed my vein and my arm blew up with dye ! Had surgery last week and now radiation starts on addition to my protocal. I was terrified. I mean just rooted in fear regarding radiation. I have severe claustrophobia.
You can imagine how fun this has been for me :)
Also a irrational fear of needles. LOL
I am happy to say that I no longer have that fear.
Your videos have helped me so much. I feel like I know you because you are in my life everyday. I just had to reach out and say Thank You Sister Sledge !!!
Because of you I am prepared and feel not so alone. Keeping healthy and swimming just like you did. My goodness there is so much live in my heart that you shared so unselfishly.
My experience is so much easier because of you. I wish you Love Light Laughter and JOY.

My name is Stephanie Kruvelis, and I am a student at the University of South Florida. This semester I am participating at an internship at Darna & Co. The company makes a wristband that prevents nausea and vomiting. The bracelet is called the No Mo Nausea Band.
The band is drug free and is allowed in hospital rooms. The band is combined with Peppermint Oil and Menthol. The band is worn at the P6 point on the wrist. The oils from the band is absorbed into the skin. The band combines aromatherapy with acupressure. The band is waterproof and more appealing than competitor products.
For breast cancer month, the company is running a donation. For every No Mo Nausea band purchase in October, one band will be donated to a cancer patient at Moffit in Tampa, Florida. There will also be an upcoming event.
The band can be purchased at www.nomonausea.com or on www.amazon.com
Bands can be purchased for $1 off by using a promo code SAVBOOBS
I want to bring awareness to this donation, and it would be an honor if you would include it in one of your blogs.
Friends Don't Let Friends Get Nauseous
Thank you for your time,
Stephanie Kruvelis

A Man is expected to appear in court today after he was caught with bags of dagga in his car with a street value of R375000.
This was one of the latest dagga hauls in the province as more of the illegal substance continues to be smuggled into the region.
Police were on patrol in Senekal when they stopped a Toyota sedan with a Gauteng car registration.
Police spokesperson Stephen Thakeng, said: "The police searched the vehicle and dagga was found inside the boot. The 37-year-old man from Sebokeng in the Vaal was arrested."
Thakeng said the drug was mainly from Lesotho.
"Over the years we have found that the lucrative dagga deals originate from Lesotho where it is grown and harvested. There is a big market here, judging by the number of people arrested for possession," he said.
Thakeng said drug dealers mix it with other drugs such as cocaine or heroin to make cheaper but stronger drugs such as nyaope.
"What is disturbing is that dagga is sold to school children by the foot soldiers who work for syndicates," he said.
The man will appear in the Senekal Magistrate's Court to face charges of drug possession.

How Can I Tell If I'm Covered Under Clarisonic's Warranty?
At Clarisonic we believe very strongly in product quality. Unfortunately, as with all electrical gadgets, technical failures occasionally occur.
We want to make sure you are completely satisfied with your Clarisonic system, so if you need to return or exchange it, here is a quick overview of our warranty information.
First off, check if your system is still covered under warranty:
If you purchased your Clarisonic System in the United States from an authorized retailer AND:
A) Currently reside in the United States – the warranty is valid. Contact our Sonic Service team to resolve the issue with your system: 1.888.525.2747. A new or repaired Clarisonic can be shipped directly to your home.
B) Currently reside outside of the United States – the warranty is valid but we are unable to ship the replacement device internationally. You can have us ship your Clarisonic to a friend or family member living in the United States and then have them ship it to your current residence.
If you purchased your Clarisonic system outside of the United States or from an unauthorized retailer:
Clarisonic does not permit the return of or offer refunds on devices purchased from an unauthorized distributor or a distributor outside of the United States. We ask you to contact the distributor directly to discuss their return policy.
For more information on our warranty, please visit our website or the Help! My Clarisonic Stopped Working blog post. And make sure to check out our Charging Your Clarisonic: Q&A blog post to learn more about properly charging your sonic cleansing device.

Charging Your Clarisonic: Q&A
We love getting questions from our users as we want to make sure our cleansing and infusion devices are as easy to use as possible.
In order to make sure that our fans have all the necessary information on how to properly charge their Clarisonic, we compiled a list of customer questions along with their answers:
How do I know when the Clarisonic needs to be recharged?
Sonic Cleansing Brushes: When the charge is low, the brush handle will beep immediately following the brushing cycle to alert you to place it in the cradle for charging.
Opal: When the system battery needs to be charged, the LED flashes and the Infuser pulses progressively from 1 to 5 times after the run cycle, beginning when the unit has 5 minutes of charge remaining (1 pulse), and again at the end of each use until the battery requires additional charge for continued use (5 pulses).
How long does a full battery charge last? How long does it take to charge?
Sonic Cleansing Brushes: Allow 18 hours for a full charge. A full battery charge lasts for 20 minutes of use, which is approximately 20 days when used once daily.
Opal: Allow 24 hours for a full charge. A full battery charge lasts for 45 minutes of use, which is approximately 45 days when used once a day around each eye or 21 days when used twice a day.
Refer to the comparison chart for a detailed description of charging intervals.
How do I change the battery on my Clarisonic?
The battery cannot be changed on any of our units. The life span of the units ranges from at least 2 years to up to 5 or more. If your Clarisonic device is not holding charge, try plugging it into a different outlet to reset the unit. Be sure to contact customer service to check whether your device is still covered under warranty.
Can the chargers for various Clarisonic models be used interchangeably?
No. Each Clarisonic product has its own uniquely designed charger. The Universal Charging Cradle is the only charger compatible with multiple models, including Classic, PLUS, and PRO.
Will the Mia charger work with international power?
Yes, the pLink charger included with the Mia is compatible with 100-240 Volts AC; 50/60 Hz. This allows it to be used worldwide with the appropriate country adapter.
The guide tells you to charge for 24 hours before use. What happens if it becomes disconnected after only a few hours? Will it still hold a charge?
Yes, just recharge it until the lights are solid green.
Where can I purchase a replacement charger for my Clarisonic?
You can call our customer service at 888-525-2747 to help purchase a new charger for your Clarisonic device.
Where is the LED light and how can you tell if the Clarisonic is fully charged?
The LED light is located on the back of the handle in the center of the brush. It will be flashing continuously until it is charged at which point it will become a solid light.
My Clarisonic Mia feels very warm for the first 10-15 seconds. Is that normal?
Yes, the Clarisonic does heat up when on the charger. It will feel warm to the touch but should not be uncomfortable.
Should I keep my Clarisonic on the charging cradle after each use or only charge it when it loses its charge?
We recommend always keeping your Clarisonic device on the charger when it's not in use.
I recently have had problems with my Clarisonic starting and stopping on its own.
Sounds like some of the Clarisonic technology is malfunctioning. As with most electrical gadgets, a technical failure can be possible. Therefore, we are standing by to get your issue resolved and your system back up and running. We offer warranties on the systems in the event that something might happen, take a look at our blog post on what to do When Your Clarisonic Stops Working.
Follow the charging instructions provided in the user guide for Mia, Plus, Aria, or Opal to ensure proper functionality – and give your skin the glow that it deserves!

"I'm so thrilled with this product.. The Mia 2 with acne cleanser is absolutely amazing!! My face after 2 days!! YES! 2 days is looking much smoother, less oily and acne is smaller is size! My face isn't irritated and I don't feel like scratching all the time!! I'm SO pleased and happy that something is working after all the years of having to deal with my facial acne." –Carlene Alix
We greatly appreciate the feedback our customers provide us, and wanted to share this great Before & After story from a Clarisonic user. As you can see in the images below, after only 7 days of using Clarisonic, Amanda Trudy Blyskal showed significant improvements in skin tone and texture.
Here are some more great Before & After shots:
Sonic cleansing is the natural way to thoroughly cleanse all skin types. And unlike skin treatments that use harsh chemicals or rely on friction to remove impurities, the sonic micro-massage motion is effective, yet gentle enough to use twice a day – even on sensitive skin. This effortless action removes six times more dirt and oil than cleansing with your hands alone.
Share your story on our Facebook Reviews Tab – who knows, maybe it will make it on to our next Before & After post!

Form Meets Function at Fashion Week with the Clarisonic Aria!
In keeping with a week focused on aesthetics and design, the new Clarisonic Aria Sonic Skin Cleansing Brush fits right in among the hustle and bustle of Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week.
In order to get "runway ready" at the Chadwick Bell Spring/Summer 2013 show last week, the models received mini Clarisonic facials and sonic eye treatments from celebrity aesthetician Eileen Harcourt. Between running from show-to-show and attending late night soirees, models often neglect their most important accessory: their skin!
Sonic Cleansing
Before getting in the hair or makeup chair, models first stopped at the Clarisonic table to receive a refreshing Aria mini facial. A few minutes of relaxation was much appreciated amidst the vibrant backstage buzz.
Models were thrilled to hear that the Aria cleanses skin 6X better than manual cleansing and that it is gentle enough to use twice a day. This sonic device removed any dirt and oil from the models' skin allowing Lancôme skincare products to be absorbed more effectively.
Sonic Infusion
Who wants to look tired on the catwalk? Thankfully, the Clarisonic Opal Sonic Infusion System came to the models' rescue! Eileen used the device to gently knead serum into the skin around the models' under-eye areas at 125 movements per second. This sonic infusion thoroughly hydrated the models' skin and helped combat under-eye bags. The minute long treatment was the perfect pick-me-up for those strutting under the bright lights of the runway!
Fashion-Forward and Functional
Busy models, stylists, makeup artists, editors and bloggers barely have time to sleep, let alone charge their electronics during Fashion Week. The Clarisonic Aria's functional USB charger was a life-saver for those spending the majority of the week backstage. Through simply plugging Aria into a laptop, the device's charge can last for hours.
A Perfect Canvas
Lancôme makeup artist Daniel Martin loves his Clarisonic and was thrilled about the addition of Aria to the backstage lineup. A thorough Clarisonic cleansing by Eileen provided him with the perfect canvas for makeup application. Foundations and concealers went on smoothly and evenly. The Chadwick Bell look consisted of a natural, matte face with a strong emphasis on the eyes and cheeks. The look conveyed both strength and vulnerability.
Final Look
The Chadwick Bell 2013 Spring/Summer Readywear Collection was inspired by the marriage of all things romantic and utilitarian with an emphasis on neutrals infused with small pops of green, yellow and violet color.
Because the Lancôme makeup look was minimalistic with a focus on cheek bones and eyes, glowing skin truly took center stage. Aria's "form meets function" motto came to life at the Chadwick Bell Show as the models strutted down the runway glowing with sonic style!

KANSAS CITY (AP) - A 24-year-old Kansas City man has been charged in connection with a robbery that police think might be related to a similar one in which a Liberty couple were shot.
The Kansas City Star reports Jackson County prosecutors on Friday charged Debvon Buckner with first-degree robbery and armed criminal action.
He's accused of taking part in the robbery of a man Wednesday who was trying to sell an Xbox game system on Craigslist.
Prosecutors say the phone number used to set up that heist was the same one used to arrange a test drive for a Liberty couple who were interested in a car advertised on the website. After the test drive the couple were shot by two men who demanded money. Both victims are expected to recover.

Supervision Technology Risks: Educate, Analyze and Manage
The STREAM Technology Lab's underlying premise is that the rapidly increasing complexity of information technology and the increasingly important contribution of IT to operations risk creates material knowledge gaps between examiners and industry IT practitioners. The intention is to have a combination of classroom lecture and technical lab "hands-on" exercises. All classes are weeklong unless otherwise noted. Through your participation in these classes, we hope to narrow that gap and ensure the stability, integrity and efficiency of the nation's monetary, financial and payment systems.
What's New for 2015?
- "Examiner IT Bootcamp" was introduced in 2014. This class has an IT-centric approach and leverages content across our curriculum combining IT topics with foundational IT risk and examination material to position attendees to be able to participate in low risk IT exams.
- "Payments Systems and Risks" was also introduced in 2014. This course expands upon our original Remote Deposit Capture Clinic and adds payments-related topics including wire transfer, ACH, mobile banking, mobile payments, mobile deposit capture and other emerging trends. We added a second class for 2015.
- New labs: We continually look for opportunities to introduce and enhance hands-on labs and other interactive exercises. The topic of cyber threats has been introduced into various IT classes through hand-on exercises or demonstrations that incorporate foundational and applied network and security concepts to promote an understanding of risks and controls.
A non-refundable registration fee of $550.00 will apply to all non-Federal Reserve System participants.
More about STREAM
STREAM Technology Lab classes are open to bank examiners and supervisory analysts from any recognized federal, state or international financial regulatory agency. Access to course materials is restricted to qualified students. All course materials are considered confidential and should be handled as such by all participants.

Click here to send us your recommendation.
Zoé gets her chance to escape this dull fate when two third-rate warriors show up at the castle doors. Gargantuan and kindhearted Lian-Chu (voiced by Forest Whitaker) and his wily, money-hungry partner Gwizdo seek a job that will finally pay the bills and allow them to buy the small, relaxing farm of their dreams — and because they are two of the few living warriors remaining, they are quickly drafted by Hector to destroy the World Gobbler. Zoé sneaks off to join the duo, and together they set off on the path towards the End of the World, finding new friends and plenty of danger along the way. Dragon Hunters is set apart by its heartfelt characters (Lian- Chu and Gwizdo reference Lenny and George from Of Mice and Men) and an imaginative world, filled with intricate backgrounds, unpredictable physics and exotic monsters, such as the Red Cloud, a creature formed from thousands of individual bats, and the skeletal monstrosity that is the World Gobbler himself.
