The Parkland received an early Christmas present from the province when Health Minister Kelvin Goertzen announced the long-awaited installation of an MRI at Dauphin Regional Health Centre will proceed.
The decision to purchase the magnetic resonance imaging machine was made despite a report from the wait times task force released last week which indicated the province does not need any more MRIs.
The report indicated there is enough capacity within the existing system to provide more MRI service and reduce wait times by expanding the hours of operation for the 13 MRIs currently operating in Manitoba to 16 hours a day, seven days a week.
"Certainly I think that is an important recommendation, one that we are going to take seriously and look to implement over a longer period of time," he said, adding those recommendations had to be balanced with the work that has already been done in Dauphin to prepare for an MRI facility.
The actual "bunker" to house the machine is mostly completed and represents an investment of $6 million, $5 million of which has already been spent.
"And there has been community investment of several hundreds of thousands of dollars which has been put into that already," Goertzen said.
"Also looking at the fact that it won't happen overnight that we will be able to get the usage of the current capacity up to 16 hours a day. There will clearly be a phase in period and additional capacity within that context won't be unhelpful."
Ultimately, the decision to proceed with the project came down to work of Dauphin MLA Brad Michaleski in advocating for the project, Goertzen said.
"This was really difficult decision because there was pros and cons both ways in terms of what the wait times task force was saying and the fact that there was significant community investment in it," the minister said.
"I really think the tipping point was Mr. Michaleski's strong advocacy of the community had come a long way with the facility and this project, his strong advocacy that he believes we can get it utilized at the best capacity possible. And I think really, if there is credit to be shared in terms of this project going foreward, it should be given to Brad."
From Michaleski's perspective the decision to proceed with the project is the latest in a series of decisions which are improving health care in the province,
"Of course I am very pleased with the announcement today. Today is a great day for the Parkland and a great day for the Westman region in terms of MRI services," Michaleski said.
"I know they have waited a long time and I really do want to thank Minister Goertzen for the announcement today. And I want to say what an outstanding job he is doing on the health care department and the changes that are going on around the province. It is about better care."
While there is no clear timeline for completion of the project, Goertzen said orders have been given to complete the building and to build the machine.
Given the challenges the community has faced with the project being put on hold to wait for the report from the wait times task force , Goertzen is reluctant to put a firm timeline on the project.
"I don't want to be throwing around a lot of dates other than obviously we will do it as quickly as possible But I don't want to put out any false expectations other than we have committed to move forward with it," Goertzen said, adding the machine will cost somewhere around the $2 million mark and take three to four months to build.
"The machine, I know there was some rumours and speculation awhile ago that it was on a boat somewhere crossing the Atlantic. That is not the case. It was not built, but it will now be ordered to be built and the instalation will proceed in a time frame that works."
As for the ongoing operating costs and the capacity the Dauphin MRI will add to the system, Goertzen said further analysis will need to be undertaken as none was done by the previous government or the rural health authority prior to the project being approved.
"So we will have a better understanding of the operating costs when we have a better understanding of what the utilization will be."
And while the province will proceed with the recommendation to better utilize existing MRIs, Goertzen believes having an additional machine in Dauphin will only help the effort to reduce wait times.
"It won't change the direction of better utilization of the MRIs we have in Manitoba It will probably provide us some flexibility though because as we go through changes in Winnipeg as we look to get better utilization of the existing MRIs, that won't happen overnight," he said.
"Having some flexibility by having additional capacity in the system in Dauphin, that will be helpful."

Sophie Turner is the Girl Who Fell From The Sky
- Bang Showbiz
- 2 November 2017
'Game of Thrones' actress Sophie Turner is set to star in new survival biopic 'Girl Who Fell From The Sky', about real-life LANSA Flight 508 plane crash survivor Juliane Koepcke
Sophie Turner will star in and produce new survival biopic 'Girl Who Fell From The Sky'.
The 21-year-old actress - who is best known for playing Sansa Stark in HBO's 'Game of Thrones - will play real life plane crash survivor Juliane Koepcke in the new movie from 'Perfect Sisters' filmmaker Stan Brooks, Deadline reports.
Based on the book by Koepcke and Beate Rygiert, the film follows the 17-year-old sole survivor of LANSA Flight 508 which took off on December 24, 1971.
The high school senior was on the Christmas Eve flight with her mother to join her father for the festive season, when the airliner flew directly into a thunderstorm and was struck by lightning.
The aircraft broke up in mid-air and Koepcke - who will be played by Turner in the film - survived after plummeting around 10,000 feet while still strapped to her seat, before crashing through the canopy of the Peruvian rain forest which broke her fall and saved her life.
She spent 11 days in the jungle clinging to life whilst waiting and hoping to be rescued.
Brooks will be producing the movie alongside Turner and Lotus Entertainment's co-chairman Jim Siebel, Bill Johnson and Steve Glick.
Turner is currently filming the eighth and final season of the award-winning 'Game of Thrones' series and will also be reprising her role as Jean Grey in the upcoming 'X-Men: Dark Phoenix' movie.
The film will focus on the psychic hero's alter ego Dark Phoenix. Turner first played the character in 2016's 'X-Men: Apocalypse'.
'X-Men: Dark Phoenix' will be one of three 'X-Men' related films released in 2018 including 'Deadpool 2' and teen-orientated 'The New Mutants'.
The cast will include Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Nicholas Hoult, Alexandra Shipp, Tye Sheridan, and Kodi Smit-McPhee who will all reprise their roles from the last 'X-Men' movie.
The film is believed to take place in the 1990s and will be inspired by 'The Dark Phoenix Saga', the most popular X-Men story of all time, and is set to be released in November 2018.

Three-drug mix is best for CVD
The GPC is giving up on trying to secure more cash for enhanced services because negotiations are not worth the effort.
Negotiators said this week they would focus in talks with NHS Employers on getting more money into global sums.
The move marks a significant change in strategy and could spell the beginning of the end for enhanced services.
Dr Hamish Meldrum, GPC chair, said there was 'little enthusiasm' for putting more money into enhanced services.
He said: 'They are a small proportion of the budget but they have taken up a disproportionate amount of time in trying to negotiate locally.
'In terms of the global sum, we have always said there was not enough money in the pot.'
Dr Meldrum said extra money for premises and quality were the other priorities.
Deputy chair Dr Laurence Buckman blamed lack of innovation by PCTs for the failure of enhanced services. But he said GPs had also not been determined enough over unpaid work.
He said: 'I'm disappointed GPs don't feel able to say
No and PCTs can't say Yes.'
GPs welcomed the change in approach and said they expected enhanced services to be superseded by practice-based commissioning.
Dr Harry Yoxall, secretary of Somerset LMC, said they were a 'useful tool but with a short lifespan'.
Dr Paul Roblin, chief executive of Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire LMCs said rows over enhanced services had been 'time-consuming and pointless'.

...and we're back to portraits.
In my last article I strayed a bit from my three-part portrait series to talk about 2 iOS remote devices I've been using; Nova Off-Camera Flash and the Satechi Bluetooth Button Remote Shutter Release. When I first got the flash, then the shutter release I thought they were interesting, but unnecessary, and the new-gadget excitement quickly wore off. But after finding myself in situations where these devices came in handy I started looking at them differently. Now I find that I use these devices and other gadgets a lot more than I thought I would, and I like the results I'm getting because of them.
Your mileage may vary.
So, it's back to the third and final installment in my iPhoneography 101 portrait series, this one involving what I call "formal portraits." These are portraits where you control the environment, the subject, and every aspect of the photo taking process. I have a lot to cover so lets get to it.
If you've read the earlier two parts of this series then you're aware of my Discipline of Film. In this installment I will complete the rules of my Discipline and also talk about more about portraits. So lets get to it.
The Formal Portrait
Portrait of Jackie (All phots taken by Vern Seward)
Don't be confused by the term "formal," it's not as if you need to don gown or tux to take a photo. Heck, you don't even have to take a bath (though I would take it as a kindness if you did).
By formal I mean that the perfect portrait is the goal and to achieve it you take full control of the lighting, subject, background, pretty much everything in order to get the shot. You can take your time and compose, create lighting effects, and just let your creative juices flow.
Great formal portraits are ones where you get to see a side of the subject that may not be readily apparent if you see him or her on the street. That can be difficult to do because people tend to want to put what they believe is the best image of themselves in front of the camera and often that image isn't the real person. I won't tell you that I've taken some great portraits, but I have taken some pretty good ones.
One of my favorites (which I can't show you, unfortunately, because I don't have the permission to do so from the subject) is of a twenty-something girl. Whenever I pointed the camera at her she would smile and tilt her head just so and look at the camera. Apparently she was very comfortable in front of the camera. I hated it when she did that.
So, I waited until she let her guard down and I took the shot. What I got was an image that so portrayed who she really was (a very open, sweet, and sensitive person) that when I showed her the finished portrait all she could do for the first few minutes was to stare at it, study it. Then she told me that she didn't realize that she looked so innocent and that it was the most honest portrayal of her she had ever seen.
That story illustrates the difficulties involved in getting a good formal portrait. But even if you get the shot you think is best, the person in front of the camera may not think so, which can be a problem to which there is no easy solution.
Anyway, my last Discipline of Film rule is this...
Next: Rule# 7: Compose in Your Head First
Page 2 - Rule# 7: Compose in Your Head First
This rule lines up nicely when taking formal portraits because you have control over the environment, you can decide how you want to the portrait to look. So, think about it first. What about your subject do you want to say? Is he a serious sort? Is she gregarious? What about your subject stands out and how would you best show that? If you don't know then put the camera away for a moment and chat up your model. Try to get a sense of what makes him unique. This requires practice, even for the most outgoing among us.
Once you've decided what you want to show about your subject your task then is to figure out a way to get what you have in your head to print. Not always an easy task, but remember, you control it all.
The picture below shows a simple setup for taking a formal photo. My iPhone is mounted on a tripod, I have chosen a bright background so I'll need good frontal lighting, which I get using a reflector (not shown). Note the lamp on the right. I used that to provide a warmer tone on the right side of her face.
My makeshift iPhone studio
If I needed a flash I would have involved the Nova BT Off Camera Flash. I am using the BT shutter release (also not shown) which allows me the freedom to move around and position the light, subject, and whatever as I see fit, snapping shots as I go.
The woman who graciously volunteered to be my model is Jackie, who is an outgoing, upbeat person who smiles easily, but she also has another side which is a bit more sedate. Both views of her makes her happy. I tried to show that in the resulting portrait.
OK, there you have it and I hope it all helps you get better portraits. While I've offered pointers within types of portraits you are by no means limited to them. Use what I've offered as a foundation and build on it.
In my next article I will talk about tripods and camera mounts. Stay tuned.

On the run...
A quick meal to grab for lunch or dinner (or now even breakfast) is a frozen meal. Often times I am faced with the question of if frozen meals are a "healthy" meal choice or not. Frozen meals have gotten a bad rap because they are frequently found to be laden with hidden sodium and saturated fats however, if you follow a couple of my simple guidelines (that I tend to look for on the label) you might be able to decipher some good in the ugly!
Decoding the Food Label of Frozen Meals:
Sodium: keeping it under 600 mg per package (it is already challenging enough to keep our sodium under the recommended level of 1,500mg according to the American Heart Association)
Saturated Fat: stay away from them (less than 7% of your daily calories should come from saturated fats)
Trans Fat: stay away from these too (these can be hiding in your food label as "partially hydrogenated oils." Yuck, that just sounds like it would clog your arteries!)
Cholesterol: strive to keep it low! Aim to eat less than 300mg each day (cholesterol is found primarily in animal fats including cheese)
Fiber: fill up on it (look for meals that have at least 3 grams of fiber per package)
What do you eat when your in a hurry?

Thursdays can be tough. It is right at the end of the week. You are on the home stretch...you can almost taste the weekend. Cub Scout meetings are on Thursday and they always seem to rejuvenate me. Particularly tonight's meeting: we headed to The Palm's Retirement Home to speak with some very special people.
We met with a former Navy officer, a gentleman who had been in the Coast Guard, two women who were former Boy Scout Den mothers, and a man who's pride and joy had been his '51 Chevy. The boys got a chance to find out what first grade was like for these sweet residents. We heard all kinds of stories in the short time we visited. The boys ended their visit by presenting yellow friendship roses to everyone that took the time out to talk to us. We were hustled out the door in time for the residents to get to choir practice and BINGO. It was an active place.
And with a full weekend ahead of us, we are very excited...someone in our house has been secretly working really hard to prepare for this BIG event on Monday... and its not me...any guesses?
He would die if he knew I put this picture up of him. But I am proud of what he is about to endure...
It is not child birth, but it is 26.2 miles, a very long way. Pictures to come Monday evening. I wish you a "memorable" weekend.

DAN Majerle has two small fractures and a bone spur in his right collarbone, pain harder to shrug off than any 20- point loss.
"A minor injury to him," said Jeff Van Gundy, the Knick coach, 'A nuisance. If we tried to pick him, he probably would enjoy that."
The man Van Gundy proclaims as the toughest in the NBA reported for Game 3 last night without tears, extending no offer to Allan Houston of that ravaged shoulder to cry on.
On the bench, the Heat swingman had a pack on his shoulder bigger than a bag of bitten bullets, anesthesia for the task of the continued icing of Allan Houston.
He shut down Houston in Game 2, at least that part of it when Houston wasn't helping to shut down himself, shooting 4- for-13 with six bumbling, stumbling turnovers, including the most ill-timed of the night, a dribble off his leg after the Knicks had cut the lead to four late in the third quarter.
After having one of those should-have-stayed-in-bed days, yesterday Houston found himself in bed, fighting off symptoms worse than Pat Riley suffers every time he has to talk to New York writers.
His head ached. His nose was more stuffed up than the lane in this series, his chest heavier than his burden of getting the Knicks off well last night. In other words, Houston had health only Thunder Dan Majerle could have loved, and he went out last night and played a big part in making the Heat suffer.
Houston shot 5-for-10, got to the line eight times and made them all on a night the Knicks selflessly, astonishingly, took apart Miami 97-73. He gave them exactly what they needed and will continue to need to put the Heat away tomorrow night.
He was aggressive, controlled, unselfish, penetrating for his first basket of the night, driving by Majerle and over P.J. Brown for his second.
Early in the third quarter, Houston got to the basket to take a pass and be fouled by Clarence Weatherspoon, hit two free throws on one early third-quarter possession, then dished to Kurt Thomas after penetrating on the next one.
The Knicks, off a 32-2 run, were up an astounding 24 points, the Heat's stone-cold shooting from beyond the three-point threshold the much more significant factor than Majerle's legendary pain threshold, or Houston's ability to turn a bad day against a baaaad man like Majerle into something stunningly good.
"I was trying to concentrate on getting to the free throw line," Houston said. "I was concentrating on not turning the ball over. I let them force me into turnovers [in Game 2] I shouldn't have been. Whether it was passing the ball or dribbling. What I tried to do was make the game less difficult."
Which was not easy to do with the flu.
"I just thank the Lord I got through the night," he said. "I felt a little, uh, different. All I know is that when game time started, I stayed aggressive and gave the team what I could."
He gave the Knicks a lot in ways as understated as he is. The flu symptoms came and went, just like his shot sometimes does, just like the Knicks' involvement in the playoffs will unless he gets his points.
This may be Houston's final opportunity to be everything Ernie Grunfeld and Dave Checketts hoped the former Tennessee star could be for seven years when they signed him for $56 million in the summer of 1996.
Sometimes Houston has been real close. He had 30 points, shot the lights out of the Heat season in Game 5 at the Miami Arena a year ago that will seem a lot longer ago if he doesn't come through again.
Presuming Latrell Sprewell's agent speaks for him, presuming Charlie Ward's play speaks for itself, either Houston or Sprewell likely will go in the off-season for a point guard, creating one spot for a No. 2.
So, who do the Knicks go with, the mercurial Sprewell or Houston, whose every step forward as the go-to guy so far has seemed destined to be retraced?
There are stretches of games Houston doesn't touch the ball, stretches of the season when his shots don't fall. For three seasons, it probably has been more important that Houston be successful than any other Knick, yet it is arguable just how much they have done to give him the maximum chance to succeed.
Then again, he has to help himself, too.
"I didn't go out and touch Majerle on the shoulder to see how he was," Houston said. "I just went out to play my own game. He is a guy who can shoot 3-point shots. He's very effective for them. But if we were to win, it wouldn't be because of Majerle."
Role players keep their teams in games. Big-time players step up to win them, like Houston did last night.


text: Blog 2016 December Sexual Assault of a Spouse Accusations & Defenses Previous Post | Next Post Sexual Assault of a Spouse Accusations & Defenses Posted By Law Office of David R. Fischer || 13-Dec-2016 Sexual assault of any kind is considered a severe sex crime in Nevada that will often be charged as a felony. While it can be difficult to protect yourself from such an accusation, mounting a defense against marital rape accusations can be an even more delicate and intricate process. It is not, however, impossible. No Force, Possibly No Crime Nevada defines rape as the engagement of sexual intercourse with or against someone who did not consent to the act. In cases of marital rape, however, Nevada legal statutes tend to require some show of force or threat of force in order for it to be considered sexual assault. That is to say that if there is no force but still no consent, it will likely not be considered a crime, so long as both parties are married to one another. There are very few states that allow this exception in the legal definition of sexual assault of a spouse. It is crucial to use it in your defense and to your advantage if you live in Nevada and are accused of marital rape. Without evidence of force, there is no real evidence of a crime, regardless of whether or not sexual intercourse occurred. Evidence that you can use in your defense may include: Medical records, or lack thereof, showing no harm done to your spouse. Your criminal record, or lack thereof, showing no violent tendencies. Testimonies from neighbors or friends showing you had a healthy marriage. You will essentially want to do everything in your power to show the court that you would not be inclined to commit marital rape, either due to a lack of force or due to a misunderstanding of consent. Sometimes it can be difficult to create a positive image of ourselves since we are often our own harshest critics. This is where the Law Office of David R. Fischer and our Las Vegas criminal defense attorney can step in and assist you. With our legal counsel, guidance, and representation, you can focus on other aspects of your life while we construct a defense case on your behalf. Attorney Fischer has maintained a flawless 10.0 "Superb" Avvo rating and has been named as "Top Lawyer for Criminal Defense (2014)" by Desert Companion Magazine, so you know you can trust him with your marital rape case.

China's leading coal miner Yangquan Coal Industry Group lowered FOB prices of thermal coal at northern ports by 15 yuan/t effective January 10, its sales company said in a statement on the same day.
While stabilizing long-term contract prices, Yangquan Coal will take the lead in reducing prices of seaborne-traded power generation coal by 15 yuan/t, the statement said.
It didn't specify if the price cut is for spot coal or not. Industry insiders said it could be applied to spot coal sold to long-term buyers, given the current tightness of supply in the market.
As a responsible large state-owned company, Yanquan Coal will strictly carry out the annual long-term supply contracts to ensure stable supply to power plants and help maintain market stability, it said.
No similar price cut is announced by other state-owned miners as of time of publication.
Insiders say others are likely to follow suit, given the government's stance in keeping the market stable in the peak winter heating season.
Persisting supply crunch, mainly due to a lack of rail capacity, and strong demand from utilities, has pushed spot thermal coal prices at northern ports.
On January 10, the Fenwei CCI Thermal index for domestic 5,500 Kcal/kg NAR coal traded at Qinhuangdao port was assessed 5 yuan/t higher on the day at 730 yuan/t FOB with 17% VAT, up 19 yuan/t week on week.
Domestic 5,000 Kcal/kg NAR coal was assessed 3 yuan/t higher than a day ago at 653 yuan/t FOB with VAT on the same day, which was up 15 yuan/t from the week-ago level.

Spring Steelhead Season Opens Todayby Staff
Times-News, January 1, 2015
JEROME -- Idaho's spring steelhead season opens today, Jan. 1. Anglers will need a 2015 fishing license and steelhead permit.
The Idaho Department of Fish and Game said spring steelhead season is open on:
Statewide, steelhead anglers may use only barbless hooks (except in the Boise), and may keep only hatchery steelhead marked with a clipped adipose fin. All other steelhead must be released unharmed.
Steelhead limits for the spring 2015 season are three per day and nine in possession. The statewide limit for the spring season is 20 steelhead. Once limits are reached, anglers must stop fishing.

SRINAGAR: The joint resistance leadership on Friday said the ongoing freedom movement of Kashmiris is indigenous and has nothing to do with global organisations.
"Indian agencies are desperate to malign our movement and, under a well-thought-out plan, are devising policies to bring bad name to the freedom struggle in Kashmir," the leadership comprising Syed Ali Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, and Muhammad Yasin Malik, said in a statement.
"These agencies with the active support of those elements not affiliated with our movement have chalked out a program for carrying their sinister designs."
The leadership said groups like ISIS and Al-Qaeda are "nonexistent" in the state and that there is "no role for these groups within our movement".
Our movement is local in nature and indigenous in character. "Terrorism and the freedom movement are poles apart," they said, adding that Indian agencies, by linking Kashmir's movement with some global organisations "are planning their roguish activities to influence the international community".
"The peace-loving nations of the world have also acknowledged the disputed status of Jammu and Kashmir and we are pursuing a peaceful movement for its resolution," they said.
Geelani, Mirwaiz, and Malik said Al-Qaeda and ISIS are involved in merciless killings. "They are neither fighting against tyrant forces nor they succeeded in realising Islamic jurisprudence in any part of the world. Their activities have proved disadvantageous and detrimental for Muslim Ummah and instead wherever the Muslim communities were fighting for their rights, these organisations instead of helping them, resorted to killing the very suppressed nations."
Referring to gloomy situations in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, and other countries, the leadership said these forces irrespective of age and gender carried brutal killings and devastated properties.
They said New Delhi is "frustrated" and has launched a "well-planned psychological war" against the freedom movement. "As such, they are desperate to sabotage our movement through its agencies and have framed new tactics to change the discourse of the ongoing freedom struggle and label it with global terrorism."
The leadership said, "Kashmir is a disputed territory which has been occupied by India through its military power". "People in (the) state presented huge sacrifices, six lakhs embraced martyrdom and we have six hundred graveyards and more than ten thousand unmarked graves."
Geelani, Mirwaiz and Malik said Delhi couldn't break the "emotional bond of freedom" among masses, hence feels unnerved and, as such, is resorting to these "mischievous tactics and vicious game".
Warning people about the "deceitful game" of Indian authorities, the leadership insisted that "the nation should follow every program (of the joint leadership) with persistence and wisdom and exhibit unity among its folds".

I had Pandora playing and then I clicked the headset button and got the music player going along with Pandora and dropped a call. I would consider that some serious software rule conflicts.

"Love" was my theme for 2013, and it really surprised me how much I did learn about love, within the year. The walls have been crumbling, and I have begun to understand love on a very profound, spiritual level. Honestly, I considered making "Love" my one-word theme again, not just for 2014 but for the rest of my life.
However, life continues to teach me new lessons, and I've found another word, that aligns very closely with love. And that word is, "Surrender." For so long, I've viewed surrender as a negative notion, as one that means giving up or quitting.
My views, though, were changed when I had e-mailed one of my friends about all the changes I intended to make in my life. I had been in Houston for a couple of months, and I found that I was still backsliding and I was still fearful and coping with (perceived) unworthiness. I was going to change things, be more disciplined, etc. etc.
My friend wrote me back, "The one thing you haven't done is surrender."
At first, I thought that was a compliment. That I had rediscovered my old grit and insistence on pressing on, even when it seems impossible. I wasn't giving up. I was going to become the person I wanted to be, no matter what!
But, on further examination, I saw that this was not a compliment at all. My friend was telling me that I needed to stop trying to manipulate everything. I needed to keep trying to get my hands in everything, and just allow life–and myself–to grow and evolve.
It isn't through muscling ourselves that we change and grow. It's through awareness, understanding, and acceptance. When we can see what's going on, it will naturally change, if it needs to. It can't be forced.
And life is the same way. We waste energy trying to get others to like us, trying to protect ourselves and make things turn out the way we want them to. We need to do what we need to do, without wasting energy on useless endeavors. There are things that are outside of the realm of our control, and we need to surrender, and to accept that.
Surrender is difficult, because we don't like to be in control. We want to hang on, and force things to stay the way they are, or force them to change in the way that we want them to. But our forcing is like pressing on a brick wall. It's nothing more than a waste of energy.
Once we see that, we see that surrender is our only option. We need to let go. We need to stop trying to control the wind, and, instead, adjust our sails.

portland4 comments
a recap using instagram / camera / phone pics
Went to Portland for four days, three nights, rode train for 16 hours (both ways), ate many things, drank not enough beer, went to the local pantry five times, took the bus a bunch of times and regretted not taking the taxi more.
a lot of these are from instagram, the venn diagram for the people that may have seen this and the people that frequent this blog results in a circle.
we used to have bus tickets like that! haven't seen it in a long time. Nostalgic And i kept all the bottle caps or at least i tried to of everything that we drank.
this was our train ride there, our train departed at 640 AM and hence we had to get up before the sun rose. We ended up only eating a bit of clam chowder and random rice crackers.
ah we're here, the station is sort of picturesque and the sun came out! we're very grateful.
spent a lot of time at home at night, and we drank a lot of the local brew. There were just so many more to choose from.
We went to this burger place called Lardo for lunch, amazing fries, just so amazing.
Frequented Powell Books, Everyday Music and Jackpot Records
On our last night, with not too many choices, we ended up eating at a small diner near where we were living called Hot Cake House. I really didn't think this place would have internet presence, but I guess it's portland after all.
More Random food places
Taking the tram, a photo of me at Filson, the only thing that I bought on the trip, a pair of doc martens and the best thing about the place we were staying at, this amazing fire place.
There were so manyyy mishaps but all in all it was a great trip~ would love to visit again when it's summer or at least, not raining all the time!
A few pictures of buildings after the cut~
(may or may not start watching Portlandia)
Those shoes are…AWESOME. They suit your very well!
Portland looks so sad. I mean, it's always raining and pretty damn cold up there so maybe that's why everything looks so grey and gloomy.
Food pictures look great, especially the top burger and fries. Was it amazing?!
Those shoes look awesome!
And the food…. mmmm…
I like those bottlecaps.
Mishaps can make a trip more memorable sometimes!
The buildings look interesting, they're so western…
cute shoes! AND I SEE YOUR BOYFRIEND :D
Looks like Vancouver type weather… I do like the mellow mushroom building! :D

Why are all the men on here a little bit gay?
Bunch of puffs.
they're either a bit gay, or seemingly really, really manly to make up for their insecurities.
I'm waiting to recieve darling, chop chop, I haven't got all night.
I'm fine with ironic homophobia, but illiterates can get to fuck.
Yo baby, wassup? etc etc
As a brief aside, are you interested in a ticket for the Friday night of Morrissey's Years of Refusal tour at Brixton?
If she says no, I'll go
I fucking love hanging out with men. In a masculine way, you understand
I'm still going, my friend is bailing out due to her best friend's
lame wedding. Which is lame.
My point precisely.
I actually have her ticket in my possession, may be able to get her to heavily discount. Failing that she'll probably forget about it in which case you can have it!
True, but we are destined to dine together on falafel and besides........
last time round you said you'd wear a playsuit and I'm still not sure what that is.
Because of all the men on here.
Bunch of dreamboats. Who could resist?
Tonight i cooked and ate steak
Apart from not killing the cow myself thats as non gay as life gets.
that and not being bummed. well. i ate the steak tonight...ill update you on the latter when i get home tonight darling.

Then Odysseus tore off his rags, and sprang on to the broad pavement with his bow and his quiver full of arrows. He shed the arrows on to the ground at his feet and said, "The mighty contest [athlos] is at an end. I will now see whether Apollo will grant it to me to hit another mark which no man has yet hit." On this he aimed a deadly arrow at Antinoos, who was about to take up a two-handled gold cup to drink his wine and already had it in his hands. He had no thought of death - who amongst all the revelers would think that one man, however brave, would stand alone among so many and kill him? The arrow struck Antinoos in the throat, and the point went clean through his neck, so that he fell over and the cup dropped from his hand, while a thick stream of blood gushed from his nostrils. He kicked the table from him and upset the things on it, so that the bread and roasted meats were all soiled as they fell over on to the ground. The suitors were in an uproar when they saw that a man had been hit; they sprang in dismay one and all of them from their seats and looked everywhere towards the walls, but there was neither shield nor spear, and they rebuked Odysseus very angrily. "Stranger," said they, "you shall pay for shooting people in this way: you shall see no other contest [athlos]; you are a doomed man; he whom you have slain was the foremost youth in Ithaca, and the vultures shall devour you for having killed him." Thus they spoke, for they thought that he had killed Antinoos by mistake, and did not perceive that death was hanging over the head of every one of them. But Odysseus glared at them and said: "Dogs, did you think that I should not come back from the dêmos of the Trojans? You have wasted my substance, have forced my women servants to lie with you, and have wooed my wife while I was still living. You have feared neither the gods nor that there would be future nemesis from men, and now you shall die."

Five people injured in Mills Township accident
Five people were hurt when a man failed to stop at the sign at East Baker and North Sturgeon roads in Mills Township Sunday.
The accident occurred at 7:21 p.m. when Donald Ray Taylor, 58, Midland did not see a stop sign on East Baker Road. The 2002 Chevrolet he was driving and a 1993 GMC Jimmy, driven by Zachary Ryan Vanwert, 17, Midland, collided. Vanwert was headed north on Sturgeon.
The impact caused the GMC to overturn in a ditch, pinning one passenger and ejecting the other.
Leif Alan Inman, 17, Midland, was trapped, and was in good condition Monday at MidMichigan Medical Center. Shannon Sue Gray, 17, Auburn, was thrown from the vehicle, and was in serious condition Monday at the University of Michigan Hospital.
Vanwert, Taylor, and Taylor's passenger, Eileen Ann Taylor, 57, Midland, were treated at MidMichigan and released.
Donald Taylor was ticketed for failing to yield the right of way. He told Midland County Sheriff's Office deputies the sun was in his eyes, causing him to miss the stop sign.

Are There Awesome Gaming Chairs for Console Players?
Ever since video game streaming platforms like Justin.TV and Twitch have hit the scene, we've seen a substantial increase in the number of companies attempting to produce awesome gaming chairs but all of them seem to focus primarily on flashy, high-back racing chairs that are anything but cheap and cater mainly to PC gamers because you're typically at a desk. So where does that leave the console gamers? Because I don't think that a dining table chair with no padding is going to cut it for lengthy gaming sessions. Are there any awesome gaming chairs available for them to choose from or are they stuck overpaying for a chair optimized to be at a desk? Luckily, there are actually quite a few makes and models to choose from! Detailed below you'll find a wide range of affordable chairs designed with console gamers in mind.
Imperial Ergonomic Video Rocker Gaming Chair
Features Include:
- 200 lbs. weight capacity
- Standard rocker model; no wheels or speakers
- Microfiber and mesh fabric
- Very low-price
You can never go wrong with a standard console rocker! Perfect for kids, teens and also smaller adults, this chair has been ergonomically designed to lessen the discomfort and fatigue you experience from extended sessions of gaming, reading, and watching movies or TV. Despite being incredibly inexpensive, this chair is seriously heavy-duty and built to last. It weighs a little over 20 lbs., is extremely sturdy, and can even fold down when it's not in use for easier storage. If we had to find a downside for this chair, it would have to be the lack of padding, or that the padding is rather rigid, but that's a small and temporary price to pay (it'll wear in) for a longer lasting chair.
Big Joe's Dorm Chair
- 160 lbs. weight capacity
- Light-weight and no assembly required
- Waterproof, easy to clean ballistic fabric
- Very low-price
Here's another super inexpensive option that would be perfect in a kid's or teen's game room! Primarily made in the USA, this bean bag chair has been double stitched and zippered for extra strength, durability and safety. It's filled with dense ultimax beans, which are designed to conform to your body's shape and not the other way around. Big Joe's Dorm Chair is also available in a wide variety of assorted colors and patterns so you can easily find the ideal bean bag chair to fit the room. The only drawback to the chair that we can find is that it's actually a lot smaller and closer to the ground than the pictures would lead you to believe, and if the chairs are overused by heftier people it can lose its shape quickly. Regardless, you won't find a better-made bean bag chair for the price and they definitely are awesome gaming chairs.
X Rocker's Wireless Gaming Chair v2
- 250 lbs. weight capacity
- Adjustable flip-up arms
- Heavy-duty vinyl
- Mid-Price
If you're looking for a little more out of your console gaming chair than just a comfy place to plop yourself down in, then look no further than X Rocker's Gaming Chair line. Here we have the X Rocker 5143601 II, which is basically a supped up rocker with wireless capabilities. Unlike your standard rocker, this model comes with adjustable armrests, extra padding, has been upholstered in easy to clean heavy-duty vinyl, and comes with two forward facing speakers and a powerful subwoofer built directly into the chair! It even features an easily accessible side control panel so you can adjust volume and bass on the fly. Unlike a lot of other rockers this model sports a full sized backrest and an ergonomic design. The only downside to a chair like this one is that newer TVs might not always have the proper input/output jacks to accommodate, but not to worry there because converters are pretty cheap and it's definitely worth it so that you can experience all this amazing chair has to offer.
X Rocker's Wireless Gaming Chair PRO Series w/ Pedestal
- 260 lbs. weight capacity
- Armrests aren't adjustable, tilts and swivels on a pedestal
- Heavy-duty vinyl
- Mid/High-Price
Just in case the last chair from X Rocker wasn't enough for you, here's X Rocker's Wireless Gaming Chair PRO Series! This model is definitely one of the most comfortable rockers ever made, all because the padding is on another level than the previous model and the PRO series also sports a waterfall edge to alleviate surface pressure on the back of the thighs and improve circulation. Even the sound system put into the PRO series has been cranked up a few notches from before. One of the biggest benefits to this chair over the others is that it's on a pedestal, which in turn allows you to tilt and swivel about at your leisure. In every regard, this chair is a step up from the previous X Rocker model, but we would be remiss if we didn't mention a couple shortcomings. First, the armrests aren't really up to snuff with the rest of the chair, you have to bolt them on yourself, they don't adjust and aren't very comfortable. Secondly and lastly, if the pedestal fails over time, then you have a big problem, because unlike the other models shown in this article this one can't be used by itself on the floor.
Console gamers! Don't fall prey to the same advertising the PC gamers do by buying a flashy looking chair for over $300, it's unjustified and superfluous. Find something comfortable that's going to last a really long time, maybe one that folds up or can be put out of the way easily when you need the space. As far as awesome gaming chairs for consolers go, you don't need to spend even a fraction of what a PC gamer will in order to be comfortable during those extended gaming sessions, shop smart! Happy Hunting!

Before the first lens has rolled off of the production line, Lomography already has added to the Neptune Convertible Art Lens System.
Based on feedback from users, Lomography says it is adding a fourth lens – the 15mm Naiad, which will be available as an option. The other three lenses are 35, 50 and 85mm. All of the lenses connect to a single base for Canon EF, Nikon F and eventually Pentax K mounts. Each of the bases can be adapted to a mirrorless camera with the appropriate mount adapter.
Note that the lens base has three lens elements.
The 15mm lens is still under development. At the time of this article, it will have eight elements and a maximum aperture of f/3.8. It will be able to accept 82mm filters. Lomography warns that any of these specifications could change as it nears production.
The 15mm Naiad is available for an additional $250 on new and existing pledges through Kickstarter. Lomography says this is a 45% discount off the eventual expected selling price.

Details from the Project Space 11 exhibition £171 can now be found here. and here to watch the video piece in full.
Project Space 11, Plymouth City Market
Monday 4th April – Wednesday 13th April 2011
Please note for this project we will be open Mondays – Saturdays from 10am – 4pm.
£171 is the final exhibition of the current incarnation of Project Space 11, based in Plymouth City Market. Our lease ends on the 13th April and after this we will be taking a short hiatus until we hear about our future funding bid.
For this final show we have commissioned 10 artists from the past year's programme; inviting each one to invest a percentage of £171, the remainder of Project Space 11's budget. The purpose of these investments is to consolidate the future of PS11. The investments could be anything from actual monetary gain, 'tips' for artist-led sustainability or artworks that will gain in value. The investments will help to support future artist-led activity led by PS11.
Each artist has been given £17.10. In the outcome that the artist's investment does make a financial gain, proceeds will be put towards PS11's future programme, but the artist will receive 20% commission. £171 explores alternative methods of supporting artist-led activity in a time when traditional arts funding is under threat.

Order a part from Sears who used UPS as their shipping company. My address here in Caguas was complete in my order; the shipping label had the correct address.
The area of delivery is a small, long standing development known to everybody in our city: Urb San Alfonso, Caguas. Yet UPS never delivered; package sat on their warehouse here in Caguas, Puerto Rico, for five days. Finally tracked the package after contacting Sears. Had to personally visit UPS office here in Caguas to pick up the package - thirty minutes from home; no excuse, no apology...
Simply an act of incompetence and negligence. Sears, please no more UPS.....
ups forced me to create a website name estamosalgarete.com these people run a scam, remember, they do deliver jewelry, arms and other values, stay away from this "company" use USPS instead. Can't be trusted, highly NOT recommended.
I have to ship something to Urb. Bairoa Park in Caguas.
What additional information is needed to make sure they get the package. Any information would be helpful.
Thank you!
I also live in PR, also in Caguas like the first post and its true that all the items that I receive on UPS I had to pick them at the warehouse. Guitars, toys, clothes, skateboards, anything, UPS dont deliver
Where is this warehouse located. I live in Las Piedras and also have a package that was not delivered to my address and it is sitting at UPS warehouse in Caguas but cannot get anybody to tell me the exact locacation. They told me that is at the Angora Industrial Park which I don't know where it is.
I live on a paved road in the US within 5 miles of a large town, there are numerous homes, my 911 road address is posted on a board at my drive. I have lived here for 25 years.
For the fourth time this month UPS has returned a package to sender. Their explanation was that the addressee said they did not order the merchandise and did not want it. UPS never contacted me. Never.
From now on I request FedEx and pay the extra.
FedEX has never failed to deliver here. Never.

Discover the stately mansions once home to the Astors and Vanderbilts in Newport and following the Freedom Trail in Boston.

Insignia was refurbished in 2014, emerging with a sparkling new look inside bringing her more in line with the chic style of bigger sisters Marina and Riviera. The suites and staterooms have all been revitalised in colours reflecting the sun, sea and sky. A Baristas coffee bar has been added, showing off Oceania's partnership with Illy coffee, as well as a cook-to-order grill in the informal Terrace Cafe where you can watch while your steak or lobster tail is prepared to order. The Canyon Ranch SpaClub has been redecorated and for budding artists, an Artist Loft added, where sketching and painting lessons will take place. Lounges have been remodelled, too, with shades of blue, chocolate and mint in the popular Horizons Bar and a new look for Martinis, the ship's cocktail bar.
Oceania prides itself on its cuisine and Insignia offers a wide choice, from the beautiful Grand Dining Room (don't forget to admire the Versace bone china) to Toscana, serving Italian specialities and the Polo Grill, offering everything from Oysters Rockefeller to Kobe beef, lobster, all manner of steaks, swordfish and veal.

The drama truly unfolded during the first season of R&B Divas: L.A. that gave fans a glimpse into the lives of r&b singer Lil. Mo, Kelly Price, Chante Moore,Claudette Ortiz, Michel'le & Dawn Robinson. While things started off with love it surely didn't end that way, but beyond the television screen Chante, Lil' Mo & Claudette have a story to tell even deeper then what was displayed in their monologues on the finale episode of the season. All three ladies are flawlessly gracing the September issue of Kontrol magazine with the subtitle The Real Divas of L.A.
Read excerpts from the cover interview below.
The ladies were asked what made them make the decision to do a reality tv show & they responded with the following:
Lil' Mo: I never thought in a million years I'd do reality tv but I'm glad that I did because it's given me an opportunity to get back out there & really promote what I love to do which is music. I was asked about the Atlanta cast but when I found out about L.A., I knew I was a better fit.
Claudette Ortiz: I've been approached to do reality tv but I wanted to make sure this was something worth pursuing seeing as I have three children. I didn't want it to be exploitive & negative.
Chante Moore: I was asked to share my life & the focus was going to be on my music, that's what I liked about it.
Afterwards they were asked what made the L.A. cast different from the cast of Atlanta?
Claudette Ortiz: The location makes a difference.
Lil' Mo: We have more notable songs & we're cuter, young hip hop & r&b. We act younger & more fun.
The Hollywood Issue of Kontrol magazine will be released on September 20th.

Implementation Attacks
Attacks that rely on the flaws in implementation procedure are termed Implementation Attacks. In the process of code optimization for optimum speed and memory, programmers often neglect the transfer of variables and the deletion of trace elements. Care must be taken to delete the round keys and the main key when the encryption or decryption process is complete. It is also to the best advantage if only the specific authorized modules have access to the cryptographic modules. If any attack or discrepancy is detected in the run-time environment, a specific data log must be created or appended and key scheduling must be executed again. Key scheduling takes care of deleting the prior keys and generating or obtaining a new set of keys.

It's been a year since I decided to post on Facebook that I was a cancer survivor. Sharing that news has really allowed me to come very far with everything I went through and everything my family went through almost two years ago. In January, it will be two years since my diagnosis. I am not constantly reminded that I am cancer survivor and it doesn't come into my head as much anymore. Mostly because I am distracted with a toddler running around and that fact that I am living a pretty amazing life right now.
This past year I managed to accomplish a lot. Putting yourself out there, being raw with your feelings is a major obstacle to accomplish. I've always been more of a private person so sharing with everyone what I had gone through on Facebook was a huge step. Then I continued to share by writing this blog. Opening up about the challenges I was constantly facing. In addition to sharing my feelings I started running, competing in my first race and doing another 5k a couple months later. I organized a Dragon Boat Team for the Lake Champlain Dragon Boat Festival, with my team fundraising $7200 for local cancer survivors. I also spoke a couple times to other cancer survivors sharing my story with all of them.
I feel like I am finally free of my cancer diagnosis. I know it won't be gone forever but I also know I've made huge strides with it. I can now openly talk to anyone whether your a stranger or a family member or friend about my diagnosis and my treatment. A cancer diagnosis will never leave you but I can say for myself it does get better.
Happy Thanksgiving!!

Head Lice Information for Parents
It is important to work together as a school community to
minimize the frustration when dealing with head lice. you
should routinely examine your child's head at least weekly.
Head Lice are little bugs; a full grown louse is about the size of
a sesame seed. They crawl quickly when touced. They lay
lots of eggs (also known as nits). Nits are usually at nape
of the neck/behind the ears and close to the scalp. Nits are
oval; white or grey in color and about the size of a knot of
thread. They are firmly attached to the hair shaft. To
determine whether or not you are seeing a nit, try sliding it down
the hair shaft using your finders. Nits will be difficult to
move, whereas dandruff and other items slide easlily.
If crawling lice or nits are found, all household members should
be examined fro crawling lice and nits every 2-3 days.
Persons with live (crawling) lice or nits within 1/4 inch or less
of the scalp should be treated.
To eliminate head lice successfully, it is very important that
all treatment instructions and steps be carefully followed and
Both over-the-counter and prescription products are
available. You may wish to contact your health care provider
or phamacist for additional information about which product they
Head lice can be a nuisance but they have not been shown to
spread disease. Personal hygience or cleanliness in tghe
homje or school has nothing to do with getting head lice. For
information visit the CDS website or contact
your school nurse.
Tips for preventing your child from getting head
What to do if your child has head lice:
Important points to remember:
Illness Reminder:
We need your help to reduce
the spread of germs! By working together, taking precautions, we
can help to minimize the impact of any illness that can be spread
to others.
Please be reminded of the following:
Wash hands often with soap and water for 20 seconds.
Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands
Avoid kissing, hugging and sharing cups or eating utensils with
people who are sick
Disinfect frequently touched surfaces, such as toys and doorknobs,
especially if someone is sick
Stay home when feeling sick, and obtain consultations from your
health care provider.
Keep sick children at home for at least 24 hours after they no
longer have vomitting or diarrhea
Ill children should stay home until 24 hours after they are
fever-free, without the use of fever-reducing medicines.
Cover your cough/sneeze. It is best to cough or sneeze into your
upper sleeve or elbow, not your hands. If you cough/sneeze in your
hands or in a tisssue, make sure you wash your hands
These everyday steps are a good way to reduce your chances of
getting the flu. However, a yearly flu vaccine is the best
protection against flue inllness.

I always thought of reverse mortgages as a last resort for retirees who had spent down their retirement savings and needed more income in retirement. The reason why I felt this way, and perhaps why a lot of people had learned to dislike these products, was because of the high fees and interest embedded in the product. However, with recent changes to various mortgage programs, it may be worth taking a closer look.
Last resort or income stream?
Let's begin by first looking at how these products used to work and why they typically weren't advisable except as a last resort. For a lot of retirees, one of their largest assets is the equity in their houses. Unfortunately, other than providing shelter, a house doesn't have a lot of financial benefit. You might still carry a mortgage in retirement; you pay property taxes, home owners insurance, utility bills, and the occasional home repair. All of these are money out of your pocket, but when is the last time your house paid you? Enter the reverse mortgage….a potential way to create an income stream (or lump sum) which can turn the house into a more meaningful asset rather than a money pit. Everything sound good so far? Not so fast! The problem is that, in the case of a married couple, the bank used to come knocking at the first death and demand repayment of the income stream plus interest that had been accruing the whole time. Can't afford to pay that back all at once? No problem…the bank will just sell the house from under you, take their money back, and give the survivor the remainder (if any) so they can go and try to find a new place to live. All of a sudden this program doesn't sound so good.
Reverse mortgages get a make-over
This idea of the survivor losing their house was the primary reason why I rarely recommended clients consider these products in a serious manner. However, in 2013 there were major revisions to how a lot of these products were structured. The fees still seem to be fairly high, but no longer is the bank able to sell the property out from under the survivor. Now the repayment of the loan isn't due until both people have died. With these new changes, it may be worth taking a look at tapping into your home's equity, knowing that you and your spouse won't have to leave your house unless you want to. Work with your financial professional to understand more fully if this type of product might make sense for your specific situation.

There are significant costs associated with Reverse Mortgages, such as: up-front mortgage premium, annual premium, origination fee, closing costs, monthly services charge, and appraisal fees. There are significant risk associated with Reverse Mortgages. Generally, the homeowner is still obligated to pay taxes, insurance, and maintenance and if the borrower moves, the loan becomes due, and the total amount due may be larger than anticipated or planned for. Medicaid may also be affected. C14-040266

1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
1) Matt's taken to the fruit bars (marketed at babies) that we buy for the rats. On Friday he took one into work as his snack. We buy two different types - one some sort of weird organic sort, and one the Cow & Gate sort. I'm totally on his side - I've tried a bit of them, and they're really nice.
He said he was embarrassed because the one he took into work has a picture of a baby on the wrapper, and has '+12 months' written on it. I just figured that at least he was getting vitamins. He just figured that, if anyone asked, he could say they were made of babies.
2) We've been reintroducing the rats (they met for a moment when we first got Hob, but the vet suggested she didn't have stress when she was ill, so that was a no-no for a while). There was a tad of hilarious flailing, where they stood on their back legs and windmilled their forelegs, but then Hastings sat on Hob and groomed her and, after a while, Hob realised that Hastings is the boss. We've been quite intense in their reintroduction. Late last night, lunchtime today, then this evening. We think it's best that they get used to it quickly. I worried that if we left it for a couple of days, they might have to go through the original flurry again. They now play nicely together. Well, Hastings will jump on Hob and forcibly groom her, but Hob will roll over and act submissively with an almost visible air of boredom. The only strops occur when Hob is playing on me - then Hastings will shoulder barge her out of the way in a possessive manner.
3) I've been feeling pretty good the last couple of days. Sometimes unnacountably grumpy, but that passes quite quickly and, in general, I'm doing ok. I know I haven't been talking much about the varying levels of depression, but it's so incredibly boring for everyone other than me, and I prefer not to go into it. Unless, of course, I snap and end up ranting.
4) My brother H and his long-term girlfriend are coming round tomorrow night to meet the new pets. I'm doing them dinner of pepperdew poppers, followed by my delicious beef and bacon stew with mustard mash. I haven't seen them since New Year. I kind of miss H. And also his girlfriend. She fits into my family disturbingly well.
5) It's nearly 4.30am. I just needed to write down all the things before I forgot them. I'm also half-watching Dog the Bounty Hunter.
