Bridget I LOVE your bird rescue story and too funny about DBF being scared of pecking birds lol! I bet all the kids thought it was a great experience. And woo-hooo about your porch! I am so jealous you have a guy who can build a freaking porch! My DH is okay with building things but it would probably take him 3 years to build it. It took him nearly 2 years to put up a fence around our backyard, which is less than 1/3 of an acre, I think it is like .15 of an acre actually. I call him a lolly-gagger.
Christina I hope your life gets a bit more boring soon. I agree with Bridget in focusing on what yourself as you can only control your reactions to the people and events in your life. Hopefully even if they think you are cold or crude they will understand. I had a fling with Buddhism when I was a young 20 something year old and I learned a lot about being in the present and taking things minute by minute and not letting someone else's actions or words get to me as much. Of course, I am not like that all the time, but I am much better than I used to be and I think those tools, realizing we are only in control of ourselves, are lessons I think are universal.
Chrissy I hope you don't have to go through a custody battle. And I really hope Rich will not fall into drunkendom. Even though I feel bad for him, because I do think that he depends on you a lot in how you describe his actions, I agree with you that he is a grown man and needs to take care of his business and himself like an adult and not cry on his kids or try to make them the new "you" so to speak, or bad mouth you in any way. I hope that he can stick with whatever agreement you two come up with and I also think family counseling would be a good idea especially for Syd and Conner.
In regards to selfishness, I also think that is a young person's outlook on a lot of things. They are so "me-me-me." Ky is pretty selfish IMO. He has gotten better over the past year or so and I have told him when he is being selfish and remind him of all the things everyone gets and does for him that we don't have to do. He never wants to help out with things and any time I tell him it is time for chores, he starts to tear up and will even cry sometimes. If Elle gets something he will go on and on about how unfair it is that he didn't get something. It is just ridiculous to me because he gets WAY more stuff and goes WAY more places than Elle does. He is still in Ohio right now and since he has been gone he has gone to the following places:
Baseball Camp
Toledo Museum (is free and one of the best in the region, they have a lot of Monet's original paintings AND a mummy and a lot of free art classes and art is one of Ky's passions)
Toledo Zoo (one of the best in the country as well)
Detroit to visit relatives
The beach multiple times (we rarely go to the beach here in GA and Elle has only been once)
Chicago to visit relatives
Six Flags Great America
Chicago Zoo
Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry (a GREAT interactive museum)
He has been spending all his free time watching movies, playing outside, and creating video games with my older nephews as they are all really computer geeky (which I love) and creative.
So he has been having a great time, yet every time I talk to him he is complaining about how he is missing "fun stuff" that Elle gets to do while he's not around. All she has done is go tubing, where she screamed a large percentage of a time and didn't enjoy. I told Ky we would probably go to Chuck E Cheese this weekend, because Elle wants to go and we haven't been in a long time and Ky got all jealous. So I again had to have the selfish/self centered conversation with him via the phone. I hope I am able to keep my calmness as he gets older with this self centered mess that he has. He is a great kid, like most kids IMO, but also most just do not seem to be able to see outside of themselves and their experiences and it is greatly frustrating to me.
Wow, I have to admit that *I* am feeling a bit jealous of Ky!!!
So of course now my school is offering BA w/ a minor in Marketing online I had been interested in it before, but they didn't offer it so I just went with the Accounting minor since that's what I've been planning to do forever. I am a lot less interested in Accounting now, than I had thought I would be. My poor Advisor at the school having to deal with me and my indecisiveness
Erin, Savana I feel can appear very selfish too. She tries really hard but she gets upset if she sees Kai getting to do or have anything she can't have. When she was in school she would come home and be upset about any activity Kai and I had done going on about how it's not fair. I guess she just wanted us to sit and stare at the wall all day! At first I would try to tell her how she gets to do so many fun activities at school and how she should try to feel happy that Kai got to do something fun too. That never sunk in to her and would just cause her to argue with me about how much hated school and how Kai's stuff was "way funner" than her stuff. So instead I started saying how we really missed her while we were doing it. How we were talking about how much she'd enjoy it if she were home, and how how we miss her and talk about her all the time while she's gone. Now that got through to her. She would instantly become happy. I think it might be more about feeling sad that the people you love could possibly have fun without you around. They should be sitting around crying and missing me, dammit! lol
Can I just say how proud I am of myself? LOL. I used to get so stressed when I drove somewhere that I'd never been before, but tonight after taking Travis to karate class, I got a little lost in the town center, but I navigated my way back to the route I needed to be on by staying calm and following the road signs (and thank goodness for roundabouts---I never thought I'd say that!) I'm pretty sure I got lost because I am hungry (and a little tired) and I wasn't focussing on what road I had taken. My brain really starts to shut down when I am hungry. I'm just waiting for DH to decide what he wants to eat....
Yeah, I've done all sorts of stuff over here that I never would have done in small-town, Arkansas like riding on a metro train, the London tube, driving a stick-shift car, and sitting in a pub for a drink.
He seems to get it and we have deep dicussions about it. I think his selfish/self-centered streak is a normal thing. I just want to start combatting it more, I really started when he was halfway through last school year, and so whenever he brings up how much we are being unfair to him I ask him if he thinks we are being unfair to Elle (or me and DH in regards to chores and such). That usually changes his mind. But he is mature for his age, even though he is still pretty emotionally charged. I have hope that he won't become too much self centered in the future, but you never know. He does know that it is a trait that I see as very negative. Before he left, he was not crying about chores anymore (just looking POd that he had to do them) because we have spoken so much about having to do things we don't want to do. We don't have to have a reason or a game to get them done, they just need to get done, then we can do something we want to do. I think the chore thing is more of an issue than us doing "fun stuff." After I reminded him how much fun stuff he was doing, that immediately changed his mood, and he did apologize for not realizing that he was doing way more stuff than Elle was doing, he was getting more attention, and he was having a lot of fun, which Elle was just stuck at home. I reminded him that he shouldn't focus on what she is doing while he was away, that he should just enjoy his time away. He agreed and hopefully won't bring it up again.
That is great Ash! I get extremely anxious anytime i have to go somewhere new. I have absolutely NO sense of direction. I get lost the first (and sometimes the second or third ) time I go.... anywhere. It is ridiculous. I have no internal compass what-so-ever!!
So many people never grow out of that Me Focused phase, Erin, I think it's really great that you're making an effort to teach your children to consider what it's like to not only be thankful for what they have, but that they are not the center of everyone's universe. You are giving me some great ideas. I like to focus on the giving, the not being selfish, and the trying to imagine what it's like to be someone else, but I hadn't thought about that particular lesson.
Actually, a lot of people never grow out of that phase.
Ash, congrats on your newly found mad nav skills.
L, I think it was really generous and loving of you to do a search on Fourier to learn more about what your DH was talking about at all. I can't say I would be nice enough to do that for my DH. Only last night, he was getting into some detail about microphone patterns, and I remember feeling irritated with him for getting into that stuff, when all he was really trying to tell me was that one friend got mad at another friend for selling him a $6000 vintage microphone that wasn't authentic because it had a later-model doo-hickey that controls the pattern. All he had to say was "D yelled at G for selling an expensive vintage mic that didn't have all the original parts". So, getting to the point is not his strong suit. Also, I know Einstein said, "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough." Perhaps that's not entirely true, but I do appreciate it when the person talking to me takes the time to gauge my knowledge and tailors his speech to my level of understanding. Being able to break things down into laymen's terms is a big part of my job. To be fair, I'd be crazy impressed with anyone who could break down Fourier's Transforms into laymen's terms.
In Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers, there's a chapter about who is responsible for the overall comprehension in a conversation and how it can differ from culture to culture. This is totally oversimplifying it, but basically, in some cultures, it's expected that the speaker speak clearly and validate that he was understood. If the listener didn't get it, it's the speaker's fault. In other cultures, the onus is on the listener to correctly interpret the speaker's words plus any subtext. If the listener didn't understand, it's his own fault. I laughed when I got to that part, because in my job, I'm expected do both; I have to speak with high precision and redundantly make sure people got what I said, and when people talk in generalities, it's up to me to tease out the specifics from them. Any miscommunication would be my fault, whether I'm the speaker or the listener. It hardly seems fair. LOL.
As far as Fourier, I was about to say that all I know from Stieg Larrson is that the chick with the dragon tattoo got obsessed with his unsolvable theorem, but then realized that was Fermat and not Fourier. So I pretty much know nothing about the guy.
Erin, it sounds like Ky is having an awesome time in Ohio. If you drafted a list of all the fun things Ky got to do and put it next to the list of all the things that Elle got to do, I'd love to hear how he'd argue with that.
Christina, I'm sorry you're feeling overwhelmed, and depressed as a result of that. You really do need some time away from the mess. I was concerned last night when I read about your mom & chicken-chicken-bo-bicken, especially the part about your dad accusing her of doing cocaine. I didn't realize that your mom was self-destructive in any way (judging by your dad's report, anyway). You may reach a point where you have to put some distance between yourself and the people in your life that are making you continually unhappy. I call them toxic people. You can love them, but still set boundaries where they won't be allowed to make their problems your problems. Deciding not to bail your brother out was one example where you set some good boundaries for yourself. Maybe you will need to set more boundaries where the family is concerned. The hardest thing, I think, is to stand aside and let people you love fall down. It helps to remember that they made their own choices, especially if you tried to warn them once or twice of the consequences. When it comes to the toxic people in my life, when I've decided it's time to detach, I have a personal policy of making sure I state my position once and only once. I don't care if it gets through to them or not, as long as I said it. I just want to make sure, before I step back, that I have communicated my issues, where I think the situation has become unacceptable, and also make sure I let them know "I'll be over here" should they decide to right the situation on their own accord. That way they know you've left the door open for them, but it's up to them to follow you through it.
I had more I wanted to write, but ran out of time. Be back soon!

Add me to the list of people who have no sense of direction. I don't know what I would do without GPS. I always tell DH if he wanted to get rid of me all he'd have to do is drive 10 miles away and drop me off, I'd probably never be heard from again.
Erin, I think it's awesome you are being proactive about curbing the self-centeredness that usually comes in adolescence. The amount of self-entitlement I ran into teaching college students was overwhelming... it's strange to think that just a few generations ago that same age group would be expected to work long hours and care for their families. I won't digress into a "kids these days" rant, but it's really shocking how much people have lost their sense of self-sacrifice and independence.
On a different note, Abbey has pneumonia, again. Poor girl. At least we caught it early. She's now napping after her first dose of abx and I'm about to join her.

Oh, I have no sense of direction either, that's why I'm thankful for roundabouts and signs! And I loved your pun, Myles!
Molly, I'm so sorry that A is poorly. (hugs)
Dh just told me that my old line manager came up to him today (we used to work at the same place) and asked him to tell me to stop putting her name on applications as a reference because she doesn't have time to fill them out; instead she thinks I should just put the generic HR e-mail on as a reference. She's had 3 requests through recently because schools ask for references before they interview you, not afterwards. I can understand that it's a lot of requests in a short period of time, but to ask that I stop using her as a reference when these applications specifically ask for a reference from your last employer. Using a generic e-mail just seems so not right. Or am I wrong?

Maybe my mistake with my kids is that I didn't really do anything for myself or take time for me until very recently. So while they do have compassion and selflessness for others, they don't for mom. Because I never thought to teach them that it was ok for mom's to have needs as an individual outside their family. :/
I think I navigate around by myself pretty good. I've driven all over the east coast alone without getting lost. I often get things on Freecycle in areas I'm not familiar with and besides having to turn around 'cause I spotted the house number right AT the driveway, I don't think I've gotten lost once. When I do get lost, I have a pretty good idea of which direction I need to head in to get to the road I want to be on. Usually. In Reading, PA (a real nightmare!) I had to stop for directions. Oh, and on Bordentown, NJ (just outside of Trenton. That one was scary!)
The talk with Rich went well tonight. Because he was sober. He agreed with me about the drinking and even about crying in front of the kids. And I don't think he was doing it because it's what I want to hear. Not that he can't ever cry in front of them, but from what I gathered it was pretty intense the other night and really not appropriate for the girls to be involved in.
If he doesn't think I'm serious, he can test me but he's gonna lose the kids. We're going to do family counseling together to help the kids adjust to our new living situation(s).
Poor little Abby! Pneumonia scares me.
DH is seriously directionally challenged. Back in the days before Mapquest and GPS, he drove to Princeton, NJ (about the size of a postage stamp) and could not find the freaking university! And no one could be worse than dad. He would take directions given to him by the person whose house he's going to, get to an intersection, look around and announce that he was going the other way, 'cause it looks right. The only time he started from NY and made it here without getting lost, I had given him precise instructions (After exit 52, stay in the second lane from the right, and exit the highway when it turns). Otherwise, he'd call me from all sorts of odd places and ask for directions, and then I have to hunt down tiny little specks on a map and hand hold him down highways and byways I'm not familiar with.
Because of that, and being the navigator when we were house hunting (for a year), I'm good at finding my way around. I also have a tendency to never take the same route twice, and tend to know backroads and such fairly well.
I'm glad the talk with Rich went well, Chrissy. I hope he really does sober up.
I hope Abby gets better fast
I am under no delusions that Rich is going to suddenly quit drinking. I simply spelled out some ground rules that as a responsible adult he has to follow. And I hope I made it clear that if I find out he's been driving with the kids in the car while he's drunk, I'll take them. They can hate me all they want, but I will not negotiate on that at all.
He agreed with me that it's not about us. It's about our kids first.
Well, that's good that you two see eye to eye on that, Chrissy. It is a little unsettling that you have to warn him "IF I catch you driving with the kids drunk...". If he's drunk, do you think he'll remember that warning, though? I hope that at least your girls are old enough to refuse to get in the car with him if he's been drinking. I'd mostly be worried about Connor.
Ugh. Poor Abbey. That sucks, Molly! I hope she heals up soon. Please kiss her for me.
I think it'd be ok to put the HR generic e-mail only if your prospective employer is asking to verify your former employment. If it's for a professional reference, then, yeah, it should go to your former manager, and those cases, I always contact the people I'm using as reference first to ask if it's ok. None of my references have been required to fill out long forms, though. :/ At worst, it's a 10 minute interview about my strengths and weaknesses, done over the phone. Maybe it's different in the UK. Good luck on your job hunt, regardless.
I am good with navigation (except underwater dive navigation; my instructor really shouldn't have passed me when I did that part for Advanced Open Water certification. LOL). Generally, I can build a map in my head after looking at an actual map once, and envision my position/direction as a dot on that map pretty well. When we're trying to get anywhere, I have to navigate for both me & hubby because he gets turned around easily. I'm amazed he managed to walk from Georgia to Maine and only get lost once. On the other hand, It's time that I have a terrible sense of. I can't tell the difference between 5 and 30 minutes. DH constantly needs to tell me what day it is. I can't tell you if it's the 3rd or the 23rd of most months. Some people have a natural knack for that, I've noticed. My great-aunt (now with dementia), for example... anyone could tell her his/her birthday, and she could almost instantly say, "Your birthday will fall on a Tuesday this year." It was amazing.

I shouldn't have been passed for underwater dive navigation, either. I'm lucky DH was my partner. However, I can drive into any large random metro area I have never been to and unerringly find my way to within a mile or two of where I need to be before I need to look at a map or an address. This was before GPS. I wonder sometimes if I will lose my sense of direction because of GPS.
Smooth healing for Abbey. Pneumonia sucks!

It will depend a lot on Rich's attitude. I can tell when he's drinking regular. I'm so sensitive to it-and his mood changes so drastically-there's no way he can hide it from me. If it's a daily thing, I'm going to take the kids before he gets to the point where he thinks it's ok to drive with Conner in the truck. Bobbie and Jesi would refuse to ride with their dad, and they'd protect their younger siblings (Bobbie already did-that's how I found out about what was going on last summer). But of course Conner is far too little to understand what's going on and I don't think Syd would dare say anything to her dad.
I did talk to him about that last night and said that even IF he thought he was ok to drive, he's teaching the kids that it's ok to ride with drunk drivers and to think for one minute about them getting in the car with an 18 year old drunk without years of driving experience and riding around town. Rich physically shuddered and I said, "see, so you can't be the example that that is ok."
I hope Abbey gets better soon, poor thing. Pneumonia is horrible. I had it once when I was 12 and it is one of my worse illness memories and I hope to never get it again.
I am also glad your conversation went well with Rich. I would think he would see you are serious and not try to test you and cause himself to be in the midst, and the kids, of a custody case.
I really hope that Abbey feels better Poor thing
Chrissy I am glad that your talk with Rich went well. I hope that he really heeds what you have to say and puts his kids before his own emotions.

One member of what could be a group of persons traveling from Shreveport to Webster Parish to cash bogus checks has been arrested by Minden Police.
Albert Collins, 49, of the 500 block of Sally Ann Drive, Shreveport, is charged with theft by fraud and monetary instrument abuse (cashing a forged, fraudulent check).
Chief Steve Cropper said Collins is not the only one to cash a fraudulent check at a local grocery store, but he is the only person who showed his real identification when he did it.

Today, the food didn't talk to me, my oven decided to be temperamental and I did not want to bake a custardy pie in it. I thought about the pie and the flavors and came up with this super simple and delicious Pumpkin Ice Cream pie with Chai Ganache. I cut my Gluten Free Brownie recipe in half for the crust and added 1/2 c pecans. I reduced baking time to 20 minutes and baked it in a large springpan.
Here is the recipe for the filling and ganache. Make sure you allow the brownie crust to cool completely before adding the filling.
1 qt Soy Delicious Vanilla Ice Cream, softened
15 oz can pumpkin
2/3 c sugar
1 t cinnamon
1/8 t nutmeg
8 oz chocolate
1 chia tea bag steeped in 1/2 c boiling water
1.Mix ice cream, pumpkin, sugar and spices together. Spread on top of cooled brownies ( in a springform pan )
2. Melt chocolate in microwave for 30 seconds. Add hot tea and sitr until the chocolate is melted. Drizzle over the pumpkin filling.
3. Chill at least 4 hours or freeze until you want to serve.
I also made a Barley Stuffing ( instead of bulgur ). The bulgur was $2.55/lb and the barley was only $1.50/lb.
Pecan Cherry Bulgur Stuffing:
3 T Earth Balance or Olive Oil
1/2 t Poultry Seasoning ( salt free )
1 large onion, chopped
5 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 c celery, chopped
1 t sea salt
pinch pepper
3 C cooked Barley ( or bulgur or other grain )
1/2 c cherry flavored craisins
1/2 c pecans, chopped
1 c fresh parsley
1 t fresh thyme ( optional but good )
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
1 T braggs or soy sauce
Freshly ground pepper
- Saute onion, garlic and celery with poultry seasoning, salt and pepper
- Add Barley, cherries and pecans. Cool over medium heat for 15 minutes.
- Finish with fresh parsley, thyme and soy sauce
- Taste and adjust seasoning
So, tomorrows recipes will be the potatoes, lentil loaf and either the Raw Collard Salad or Cooked Collard Side.
Since I had my oven on today, I made pizza! Cheese recipe here. It was so good, although I have eaten too much wheat this week and I am paying for it big time with an upset stomach and hives.
|Roasted shrooms, onions, garlic, jalepenos, spinach and cultured almond cheese
I think I'm going to go totally gluten free again soon. I think I'm OK with gluten, and slowly add it back to my diet and then I hit a wall and get sick and break out in hives everywhere.

Are you prepared for financial emergency? FOX Business reporter Lauren Simonetti says a report released by the Center for Enterprise Development shows nearly half of all Americans do not have enough money saved for emergencies.
And if that wasn't enough, some families would not last three months if they suddenly lost their incomes.
In Georgia, less that 75 percent have a savings accounts. The average Georgian carries a debt load of $32,000 in credit and student loans. And Only 27 percent of Georgians have a college degree.
You can read the full report here.
The report shows that nearly 25 percent of families making between $55,000 and $90,000 annually have less than three months of savings.
The report says between the years 2006 and 2010, a net worth decline combined with a climbing cost of living may be the culprit.
Among the items families found difficult to cut back -- housing, healthcare, and education -- take up nearly 75 percent of an average family's spend "discretionary" income.
The top five states where people are living on the edge of ruin: Nevada, Georgia, Mississippi, Florida, and Arkansas.

So.... last week I might have spent the majority of my free time either at the dentist (fun) or dealing with ongoing car repairs (more fun). Which is my sad way of saying that I didn't do so well on my Falstaff homework :(
<hangs head>
But that's okay because there's still nearly a month before we open! So let's all agree to actually read the Shakespeare this week. I did begin my concentrated listening but I only got through Act I. Man, I am lame.
Not Lame
So this week, instead of my Falstaff assignment, I bring you another Proust questionnaire! This round of Meet the Staff features Bob Kingston, our Resident Historian & Lecturer. If you've ever attended our pre-concert talks (both at the Keller and at the Newmark), you've encountered Bob "in the wild." You may also have seen him in our ongoing series of videos, aimed at giving viewers more info about each of our shows. Most recently (and most pertinent to my homework!) -- why aren't there any famous arias from Falstaff?
If you've been a Portland Opera-goer for awhile, you may have spotted Bob onstage, singing in our chorus, which he did for seven seasons. Or maybe you've seen him casually pumping iron while climbing Mount St. Helens.

You can never underestimate the love of our animals for us. This story is proof!
A 3-year-old North Dakota boy disappeared for almost seven hours, but was found being protected by the family's pet dog.
The little boy was let out to play while his mom worked inside the home. She came out to check on him and the boy was gone, so was the family's dog - a German Shepherd, Labrador and Golden Retriever "mutt".
Mom searched for the boy for an hour then called 911. Less than 30 minutes later, the local police and fire departments had launched an aerial and ground search aided by 200 neighbors, family and friends.
Just before officials planned to call off the search for the night, one last four-wheeler was sent for a final sweep of the property. That four-wheeler found him about a mile away from the house, in the middle of one of a field by a pasture.
The boy was found safely underneath the dog, who was lying on the boy, probably to protect him from the 40-degree temperatures.
The little boy told his mom that he was a little scared when it got dark because he doesn't like the dark. He wasnt injured.

Due to the overwhelming number of people that have stepped forward, an entire page has been made to document them all.http://snuffbomb-victim-awareness.tumblr.com/Now, as I'm sure you all clearly remember, I personally went through a rough patch with Snuffbomb myself not too long ago.

GENERIC NAME: tadalafil
BRAND NAME: Cialis
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Tadalafil is an oral drug that is used for treating impotence (the inability to attain or maintain a penile erection) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It is in a class of drugs called phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitors that also includes sildenafil (Viagra) and vardenafil (Levitra). Erection of the penis is caused by the filling of the penis with blood. Filling occurs because the blood vessels that bring blood to the penis increase in size and deliver more blood to the penis, and, at the same time, the blood vessels that take blood away from the penis decrease in size and remove less blood from the penis. Sexual stimulation that leads to an erection causes the production and release of nitric oxide in the penis. The nitric oxide causes an enzyme, guanylate cyclase, to produce cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). It is cGMP that is primarily responsible for increasing and decreasing the size of blood vessels carrying blood to and from the penis, respectively, and causing an erection. When the cGMP is destroyed by another enzyme, phosphodiesterase-5, the blood vessels return to their normal size, blood leaves the penis, and the erection ends. Tadalafil prevents phosphodiesterase-5 from destroying cGMP so that cGMP stays around longer. The persistence of cGMP leads to a more prolonged engorgement of the penis with blood.
The mechanism whereby tadalafil improves the symptoms of BPH is not clear, but phosphodiesterase-5 also is present in the muscles of the bladder and the prostate, and it has been suggested that the relaxation of these muscles may make the passage of urine less difficult, for example, by reducing the pressure in the muscle surrounding the opening to the urethra that controls the flow of urine from the bladder. Tadalafil was approved by the FDA in November 2003.
PRESCRIPTION: Yes
GENERIC AVAILABLE: No
PREPARATIONS: Tablets: 2.5, 5, 10 and 20 mg.
STORAGE: Tadalafil should be stored at room temperature between 15 C to 30 C (59 F to 86 F).
PRESCRIBED FOR: Tadalafil is used for the treatment of impotence (erectile dysfunction, ED) and benign prostatic hyperplasia. Tadalafil offers no protection against sexually transmitted diseases.
DOSING: For most individuals, the recommended starting dose of tadalafil is 10 mg per day taken before sexual activity (tadalafil for use as needed). Depending on the adequacy of the response or side effects, the dose may be increased to 20 mg or decreased to 5 mg a day. The effect of tadalafil may last up to 36 hours. Individuals who are taking medications that increase the blood levels of tadalafil should not exceed a total dose of 10 mg in 72 hours (See drug interactions). For once daily use without regard to sexual activity the recommended dose is 2.5 to 5 mg daily. Tadalafil should not be taken more than once daily.
The recommended dose for BPH, or BPH and ED is 5 mg daily taken about the same time each day. Tadalafil may be taken with or without food since food does not affect its absorption from the intestine.
The dose of tadalafil may require adjustment for patients with reduced kidney or liver function.
DRUG INTERACTIONS: The breakdown and elimination of tadalafil from the body may be decreased by erythromycin, ketoconazole (Nizoral), itraconazole (Sporanox), indinavir (Crixivan) and ritonavir (Norvir). Therefore, these drugs may increase the levels of tadalafil in the blood. If these drugs are being used at the same time as tadalafil, the dose of tadalafil should be reduced to 10 mg every 72 hours when used as needed or 2.5 mg when used daily in order to avoid side effects from high levels of tadalafil.
Rifampin, carbamazepine (Tegretol, Tegretol XR, Equerto, Carbatrol), phenytoin (Dilantin, Dilantin-125), and phenobarbital may decrease blood levels of tadalafil, possibly reducing the effect of tadalafil.

If you're looking to compete for the prize of world's greatest parent, you're going to have to get in line behind this guy.
A Jacksonville, Florida, dad decided to do something really special for his son's 13th birthday, so he rented out a local movie theater, stocked it with food and let his son and friends play their favorite video games on a gigantic movie screen for five hours.
The kids played games like Black Ops 2, Portal and SkyRim all afternoon while feasting on endless pizza, popcorn and soda.
Now that we think about it, this dad wins. Everyone try again next year.
Just Asking … What's the best birthday your parents ever threw for you? What's the nicest thing in general your parents ever did for you? What's the most extravagant birthday you've thrown for your kid? Did it pay off or backfire?
My mom let me have quite a few girl friends come over and spend the night for my birthdays, we'd go snowmobiling around the yard, go sledding, dance in the basement like the teeny boppers we were lol ~Jessie B

What it Costs an Athlete to Compete
It can vary, but a decade of training and equipment bills can cost six figures. A former speedskater and two-time medalist put his cost at $250,000 over ten years. There is no direct government aid, but the U.S. Olympic Committee does offer stipends and other support.Source >>
Live Frugal, Take Day Jobs, Get Sponsors
The high profile athletes in the high profile events obviously have the best chances to get sponsors. Those who don't get sponsors may work and save to fill in what the stipends and support doesn't. And even with sponsors it still may mean working and saving. Winter events also throw an extra challenge in. There are only so many places a person can find moguls, ski jumps, half-pipes, and bobsled tracks. They've got to get to them creating a skyrocketing travel budget.
Without sponsors, the Jamaican Bobsled Team turned to asking for donations on-line on Crowdtilt. They targeted $80,000 to help get them to the Games. The raised $129,687 by January 21st. They have since turned off the donation link.
Jamaican Bobsled Team Relies on Crowd Funding
See their Crowdtilt page >>
Crowd Funding Goes Deeper into The Games
Than Just Jamaica
Dozens of U.S. Athletes got help from crowd funding according to CNBC. They say the U.S. Olympic Committee does fund individual sports federations, but the funds don't always cover the needs. Crowd fund donors stepped in and now have a little piece of an athlete's success.

From WENN.com
Hogan filed a $100 million (£62.5 million) lawsuit against the owners of Gawker.com shortly after the candid six-year-old footage of him making love with the wife of New York radio personality Bubba the Love Sponge hit the Internet in October (12).
He dismissed the lawsuit in federal court without prejudice last month (Dec12), and refiled it in Florida state court this week (beg31Dec12), according to TMZ.com.
He is also suing his sex tape partner Heather Clem in the state, accusing her of leaking the footage to the media.
Hogan reportedly dismissed the federal case in order to consolidate his claims against both Clem and Gawker bosses.
He also sued Bubba the Love Sponge for unspecified damages - accusing him of leaking the footage to the media - but that lawsuit was settled, and the radio personality apologised on air.

I purchased these boots by default. However, I could never be happier. I took a chance wearing by wearing them on my 8 day vacation (took only one other shoe) and they were super comfortable. I felt like I was walking on air as I breezed thru the airports and toured by destination's attractions. They fit true to size and have good arch support. They are stylish with jeans and slacks. I am glad I purchased these boots!

At least nine people were wounded in gun violence throughout the city over the weekend, including three men who were shot at the same time in the West Englewood neighborhood early Monday.
The three men were walking in the 1300 block of West 73rd Street about 12:40 a.m. when they "heard shots" and then "felt pain" the men later told investigators, according to police News Affairs Officer Hector Alfaro.
One of the victims, a 23-year-old man, was taken in serious condition to John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County with a gunshot wound to the back, police said.
The other two -- ages 31 and 22 -- were shot in the legs and taken to separate area hospitals in "stable" condition, police said.
Earlier, about 11:35 p.m., a man was shot by a gunman who walked up and shot him multiple times in the Washington Park neighborhood.
The 41-year-old man was shot twice in the left eye and once in the right leg and taken to John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County, police said. Information on the man's condition was not immediately available.
About 10:15 p.m., a female was shot in the leg in the 4200 bock of North California, police said. She was taken to Illinois Advocate Masonic Medical Center for treatment.
Just before 7:30 p.m. Sunday, a 22-year-old man was shot twice in the abdomen in the 12200 block of South Emerald in the West Pullman neighborhood, police said. He went to Roseland Community Hospital, where he was listed in serious condition, police said.
About 3 a.m. Sunday, a 31-year-old man was shot multiple times on the South Side, after he exited his car to run away from a gunman. The man was sitting in his car when a shooter approached him in the 1100 block of West 87th Street, police said. He got out of the car and tried to run away, but the suspect shot him in the wrist, hand and buttocks. He was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn.
About 10:30 p.m. Saturday, a 40-year-old woman was shot in her arm near Kedzie and 60th Street in Chicago Lawn neighborhood on the Southwest Side, police said. She was taken to an area hospital.
About 1:30 p.m. Saturday, a 22-year-old man was shot in his arm near Augusta and Pulaski in the Humboldt Park neighborhood, police said. He was taken to Norwegian-American Hospital in good condition.
No one was in custody in any of the shooting as detectives continue to investigate.

Conformal Coatings for Reliable Electronic Assemblies
Modern electronics have become part of our daily lives and the sophisticated electronic circuitry at the heart of these devices and systems must be reliable. Conformal coatings act as a barrier between the electronics and the environment, protecting the areas they cover while strengthening delicate components and traces. Find out more about how conformal coatings enhance the reliability and longevity of electronic printed circuit boards.April 24, 2014
The Next Step in Diagnosis Resolution Improvement
Root Cause Deconvolution (RCD), a statistical enhancement technology recently made available in Mentor Graphics' Tessent Diagnosis and YieldInsight products, is the next step in diagnosis resolution enhancement. It works by analyzing multiple layout-aware diagnosis reports together to identify the underlying defect distribution (root cause distribution) that is most likely to explain this set of diagnosis results. The results are then back- annotated to the individual diagnosis suspects.April 24, 2014

Advanced Packaging
Oct. 2014 (Date and time TBD)
Back-end packaging is increasingly important to semiconductor device form factor, thermal and power performance, and costs. Compounded by the demand for lead-free processing and the soaring cost of gold, the industry is developing new approaches to packaging, including redistribution layers (RDL), through silicon vias (TSV), copper pillars, wafer-level packaging (WLP) and copper wire bonding. Experts will discuss these and other approaches in this webcast.

Continued scaling and more complex device structures, including FinFETs and 3D stacking, are creating new challenges in metrology and inspection. Smaller defects must be detected and analyzed on an increasingly diverse set of materials. Chip makers are looking for better wafer edge inspection techniques, higher resolution metrology tools, 450mm-capability and new compositional analysis solutions.

Father's Day is in a few days and for some of us, it reminds us that we might not have the closest relationship with dear old Dad.
Here are a few ways to be better at communicating with him:
Get advice – If dad's not the world's best
communicator, it may help to come to him with something he can help you
with. Dads LOVE fixing stuff.
Do something else – If sitting there and staring
at each other doesn't seem quite comfortable, arrange an activity for
just the two of you to spend time together.
- Plan well – Dad may be less into a heart-to-heart if he's watching the NBA Finals. Pick your time accordingly. (The Frisky)
Just Asking ... Do you have a tough time communicating with your dad? What, if anything, have you done to break down the barriers?

I bought the Kadee flip flop and loved them...fit perfect, were comfortable and very sleek looking for a Croc. As these looked similar, I bought them as wanted the candy pink and navy. They didn't fit as well as the Kadees and were a little chunky looking so returned them...Wish the Kadee came in more colors.
Saved my feet!
I have been suffering extreme foot pain for the last 10mo. I'm talking, want-to-cut-off-my-feet kind of pain! I love to be barefoot, but my feet simply can't handle not having support. I bought these flips in the hopes that I would find pain relief and still be able to be 'barefoot'. These flips have surpassed my expectations!!! I wear them ALL THE TIME! And they're super cute and durable. If they get dirty I simply rinse them off. LOVE these flips. I won't buy anything else from now on. Thank you, Crocs, for saving my feet!!!

So today I was talking with my friend Tiffany and she told me something I wasn't expecting. She told me she was thinking about getting a nose job. The reason it surprised is because she was always against it. I can still remember the day she was trying to convince me not to get rhinoplasty surgery. I just asked her if she really wanted to get it done and for what cause. I think her nose looks perfect, but I guess she is having trouble breathing.
She went to the doctor already and they told her the procedure should help her breath better. I do remember her telling me that she has been having trouble with breathing the past couple of years so I do hope that it works out fine. I'm also going to tell her my experience with getting rhinoplasty to help keep her calm about the surgery process. Out of all me friends, she is the one who will get worried the most about getting needles stuck in her.

My wife is grieving the death of her maternal grandmother, who passed on in July. When we first married and talked about life experiences, I realized Julie had never gone through this storm before--as a child, teen, or young adult. Never before had a beloved family member died that she was especially close to. I knew that the storm was waiting for her. Unlike Julie, I've seemingly lived in a tornado alley of sorts when it comes to death. Growing up--every 5 to 7 years--someone near and dear passed on. The first "storm" blew threw when I was 3 and my grandpa died. Since then my sister, uncle and grandparents have passed on. My intention isn't to brag or boast, but instead to shine light on these two separate examples. Through the death and funeral for Julie's grandma, I've tried to empathize and put myself in Julie's shoes. Needless to say it has been a painful time.
So, the question is... at a funeral, if you have toddlers, do you bring them forward to the casket to see your loved one?
Julie and I were presented with this--as the visitation was beginning for her grandma. I worried at first. I didn't want my kids trivializing this sorrowful moment with questions and smiles. And yet, it was our duty to introduce them to this painful process. We live and die. So, 1 by 1 Julie and I took our littlest kiddos who were wondering 'Why we're here' 'Where's G-G' up to the casket and answered their questions. The most common was 'Why are G-G's legs covered?'
Like I said before, initially I worried--I didn't want to offend anyone or upset those grieving. But, in retrospect we believed that this was an opportunity to talk with our kids and more importantly hammer home our faith. And, the worry wart I am, my fears were never realized. My kids' questions were quieter and no-one complained. Every now and then they cut loose a little and played. What 2 year-old doesn't wiggle from time to time? But as a co-worker told me prior to the services, sometimes little kids running and laughing is just the levity adults need.

Bethany's Q & A
Who's your favorite sports team, and why?
Detriot Red Wings. I love the red wings for multiple reason but the most important is because this team plays with the most heart I've ever seen. Every player is willing to lay down in front of the puck in hopes of saving a single shot. They are the spirit of Detroit and the hope that it needs to continue to grow as a community. Go Wings!!!
What's your favorite movie quote?
Herb Brooks: When you pull on that jersey you represent yourself and your teammates. And the name on the front is a hell of a lot more important than the one on the back.-Miracle
What's your favorite video game, and could you kick our butts at it?
The original 007 on N64 and your screen would be a constant shade of red ;)
Piercings/Tattoos (How many? Where?)
2 tattoos- one on my foot and one on the inside of my right hip.
What's the most embarrassing song on your iPod?
22 by Taylor Swift
What's your best party trick?
I am a beer pong bounce master. My hook shots pretty solid too.
What's the most memorable pick-up line you've ever heard?
"The worst part of winning the mega millions is being in heart failure"
What's the worst job you've ever had?
I was a barista at a coffee shop. If you order your coffee with an instruction list you're probably not my favorite person.
What's the most dangerous thing you've ever done?
Target practice on 4 wheelers. Not the best idea we've ever had but good god was it fun.
It's 4AM after a crazy night out – what are we eating?
Whatever I'm cooking and I have in my fridge. I am the master of throwing 8 different things together just because it sounds good. If all else fails I have hot pockets you can burn your tongue on.
What's the strangest thing in your fridge right now?
Almond butter? It will probably be there for another 5 years because the water on top of it grosses me out.
What's the naughtiest thing you've ever done in public?
I changed my entire outfit on a flight back from Hawaii, at one point I was completely naked. The guy next to me was asleep the entire time.
What do you feel sexiest wearing?
My oversized Army shirt and black cheeky panties. Absolute heaven.
Tell us a joke.
A woman is driving down the highway and she notices a police car behind her with his lights on and she starts to get nervous, planning what she will say when the officer pulls her over. The officer appoaches her vehicle and Asks "ma'am do you know why Im pulling you over?" to which she replies "I know! You pulled me over to invite me to the policeman's ball!" To which he replies, "I'm a state trooper, ma'am. We don't have balls." Upon realizing what he has said, he clears his throat, tips his hat and walks back to his car.

Love the kick stand. Fits the Sansung III like a glove. All side buttons and ports are easy to access.
This case got everything that I wanted, protection, usability, & convenience. This case is well suited for male hands, but it makes the phone a little bit bulky to fit in shirts & pants pockets. That is the only reason I gave 4 stars.
I bought this product as a replace met for a more expensive and well know brand that rhymes with botter ox. This product has proven to be more durable and equally protective (when paired with a screen protector). My on complaints are that this item doesn't have a means to attach to a belt (I didn't expect it to based on description) which would be a very nice feature, and it doesn't have built in screen protection. However, I knew neither was an advertised feature at time of purchase. Very easy to install, pair it with a scratch resistant screen guard and you are set. Well worth the money.
We bought this for my husband's GS3 and he loves it! The case front gives more space from the buttons at the bottom so that he not longer accidentally touches them and loses the current screen. And he says the size makes his manly hands feel like he no longer has a delicate phone in his hands.
I don't worry about dropping my phone anymore with my new case, if only it had a location device for when I miss place it.
It is a very protective case and the pop up stand does come in handy. It does make it a bit bulky if you want to put the phone in your pocket or small purse.
Very sturdy case, hard to take off once it's on. However, it is very durable and the kick stand is very convenient
I purchase this case for my husband because it seems as if he is accident prone. He drops his phone too many times in a week. This case has saved us from calling the cellular company and getting a replacement phone. It is very durable, and hard plastic that will survive a greeat fall.
the phone itself is very thin and easy to lose your grip - this case adds bulk to the phone... most of the time I would look for a case that does not add a lot of bulk, but this phone is so thin, you have to have something to hold on to and this case does the trick. the kickstand on the back is a nice feature.

Offering access to some of Europe's best ski spots, Chambery is the ideal choice if you're looking to hit the slopes. Choose from a mixture of traditional and modern ski resorts such as the world-famous Val-d'Isère. You're sure to find one to suit your tastes with gorgeous views offered by the French Alps.
From Chambery, you'll be able to find ski slopes that cater for everyone, from beginners to experts. Snowboarders will also enjoy paying a visit to some of the region's many snow parks, where you'll find everything from half-pipes to rail slides.
Fly to Chambery with us and you'll land near top ski resort areas in the Tarentaise Valley. Get ready to practise your balance and take on the challenges of Espace Killy, Three Valleys and Paradiski. Espace Killy boasts over 300km of pistes and a variety of ski terrain. Ski facilities for all skill levels also make it a favourite with families.
On the other hand, if you feel like exploring a little further afield you could visit Europe's largest glacier at Les Deux Alpes, or relax in a thermal bath in the spa town of Aix les Bains.
The provincial mountain town of Chambery has a lively atmosphere and, while it's a great base for exploring the rest of the region, you'll have fun in the town too. The bustling square of Place Saint-Léger is the best place to enjoy a night out in Chambery - be sure to try the locally produced vermouth for a taste of France.
Take a stroll around Chambery and have a look at some of its impressive museums, like the Fine Art Museum and Musee Savoisien, to find out a little about the history of the Savoy region. The Fontaine des Éléphants - elephant fountain - is Chambery's best known landmark and well worth a visit, and you'll find plenty of local restaurants serving Savoyard specialities to fill you up after a day of skiing.
Fly to Chambery with us over the winter to make the most of the snow. Our flights to Chambery offer a quick and convenient way to get from London City to the inspiring French Alps.
While it's easy to get around Chambery itself on foot, you'll need a car to get to nearby ski resorts and slopes. Hire a car in Chambery or make use of the regular local and regional bus services. You can also book a ski transfer with us to get your Chambery holiday off to a stress-free start.
