Chemo Ends with Endone, Gravy and Sequins. Hooray!Posted: July 16, 2013 Filed under: breast cancer, chemotherapy, FEC -D, Mr Cool | Tags: arthritis, bone scan, Docetaxel, Endone, gravy soup, Nurse Practioner, scanxiety, Taxotere 17 Comments
I went to my final round of chemo today. I wanted to mark the occasion by skipping into oncology, laughing with the nurses as we clanked our cosmopolitain cocktails and reflected on the joyous chemo socks and inspiration from Betsy, while eating canapes, and handing out gifts of gratitude to any chemo nurse that had stuck a needle in me. You know, really celebrate this chemo finale in style.
But reality had me hobbling into the chemo chair like a 98 year old with arthritis or whatever it is in my spine and pelvis, carrying an extra 7 kilos on my frame since this chemo lark began back in March, wearing a cardigan that had remnants of last night's soup spilled down the front (this being a genetic trait), and sitting in miserable pain till my girlfriend Endone came and took a little while to cheer me up. I was then able to joke with the nurses and Mr Cool who came to every chemo infusion appointment and busily worked away on his work phone. Bless his little 4Shaw cycling cotton socks!
The last few days have seen me uncontrollably and embarrassingly cry as I laid on the chiropractic table and today on arrival at Oncology the nurses asked me if it was okay to have a trainee nurse insert the canula in my arm. I am in such a fragile state with the ongoing spinal pain I have been having that I burst into tears in the hallway and couldn't speak. I'm all for on the job training, but I just couldn't deal with anything new or extra today, no pleasant introductions with (probably highly competent but not chancing it) new trainee nurses, no fumbling around with needles for the fragile lady. Just give me my usual engaging and no bullshit nurse who can bullseye that vein like a sniper every time and will probably read this blog tonight lol.
Of course the tears and the miserable face prompted a flurry of movement from all concerned and staff hurriedly raced off to arrange pain meds and a scan and get the chemo started. We again went though the reasons why I really should have an MRI but can't because of the magnetic port on the tissue expander in my chest. Ironically, the magnet helps plastic surgeons find the spot to inject fills into the expander. Since I was never filled, I didn't even need one with a port but there you go. So, a full bone scan was booked in for the morning.
I am convinced that the Taxotere (Docetaxel) drug has made arthritic issues in my spine worse. Either that or it's bone mets. I didn't do anything to my spine to exacerbate any spinal troubles. There has been no heavy lifting of camping packs, no gardening, no running, no hours of vacuuming, no cartwheels or pole dancing (I promise!) But for 14 days the pain has been chronic and worsening.
Perhaps it's just very bad timing and it is totally unrelated to chemo or cancer. Perhaps my body is just so low it cannot deal with the increasing toxicity and the immunity depreciating nature of chemo. I would be very, very unlucky to have stage four disease in the form of bone mets while on chemo. But at least the scan can reassure me as I really am a "cancerchondriac" on panicked high alert for symptoms. I'm not dealing well with pain that stays around for as long as it has and gets more intense. I gave birth to two children with no pain meds and I normally am an under reporter of pain. But this is really wearing me down physically and emotionally. So the grand and joyous "Chemo Finale Festival" had to take a bit of a backseat.
Today's soup at Restaurant PHOR (That stands for Public Hospital Oncology Restaurant) wasn't roasted butternut pumpkin with garam masala, or lentil with coriander and vermicelli, or a fine miso. No it wasn't. Today's flavour was gravy. Gravy soup. I think the chef got his saucepans a little mixed up. Aww who am I kidding? It's not as if I have any taste buds left that haven't been napalmed by chemo anyway! Luckily, the hospital sucks as a restaurant, but gets a chef's hat for chemo care.
The highlight of today in finishing this FEC – D chemo regimen that started way back in March was using my gorgeous teal knit blanket and my gold sequined slippers that some incredible women at kinder gave me on the last day of term. I had saved them to mark this momentous occasion. The last chemo infusion.
So to the "Kinder Cast" I say a huge thank you! To Bilby, to Suzie Q, to Ned Kelly, to Dasher, to Austin Powers, to The Commander, to The Prince, to The Fair Ring, to Courageous C, and all the rest, I'm really saddened that my son is moving on from kinder at the end of the year. It has been an incredible privilege and fortune to have met some really wonderful ladies and families this year at the same time that this bizarre situation began. I would have been lost without their support. The well wishes, the play dates, the kinder pick ups when I was too unwell to kinder mingle as I love, the soup, the kale, the happy eggs, the local apples, the Good Loaf sourdough, the family fights over who gets the last of Suzie Q's honey soy chicken and scalloped potatoes, the fresh play dough for the kids on a rainy day from the Bilby's, the frequent arrival of delicious home cooked meals and all the hugs… and all of this is just from the "Kinder Cast". But there have been several more production casts at work that I need to express gratitude too. Some day, in some way. Gosh our community is awesome!
Of course, I need to ride the next three weeks as this last dose works its magic. So I'll be expecting to lay low for the next weeks till this stuff starts getting out of my system and I begin to recover in time for the big surgery in mid August. There is likely to be some 6pm bed times this week for me, not my kids. Bring on the next phase.
Can't wait for my 8am full bone scan in the morn to see what is going on with them bones, them bones, them bones…
Luckily this 'scanxiety' wont last long. Normally the time waiting between scans and results is the worst. But this time the awesome nurse practitioner says results will be available pretty quick. Which is surprising as I heard on the grape vine he has a moderate addiction to Candy Crush. So I'm surprised he even has the time to see me. I'm so lucky!
Thanks to everyone who got me through this phase. Love you all and mean it. Really!

Ah, the last chemo… I was all excited too, and then ended up a total mess because the last one seemed to give me a much longer dose of side effects… thought I'd be over it in 3 weeks and in fact it took about twice that long. Bloody toxic stuff. It builds up, I guess. So that's why I say take it gently. You know where we are when the impatience sets in.
As for the horrible spinal pain- my money's on the chemo causing it. Everything crossed for the scan. xx
Well done Lisa. I have been religiously reading your blogs sending the warmest, healthiest vibes I can muster to contribute in some way to your fight and recovery…rest now and let your body do what it can to bring you back to your loved ones…speediest recoveries x x x
love you lisey hope it is an easy last chemo for you what an amazing inspiring woman you are glad to have met you when we were children i send you strength hope hug love and all positive thoughts you will get there xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<3 ❤ ❤ Liza Hopkins
Awesome possum! Way to get through that last round, and very good choice in shoes. I hope the scan comes back clean, and as the chemo begins to leave your body the pain lessens till one day it's just totally gone. ~Catherine
Oh … you poor girl!!! Feeling for you and what you are going through!!! Notwithstanding it all, you still write amazing blogs!! I hope you have a best seller when all this horrible treatment has finished. Chin up … stay positive … I am sure the back pain will not be anything serious and will be only transient … but know what waiting for results is like!! Good luck!!!! Lots of love!!!
BTW … you are still … and always will be … beautiful!!! 🙂
Gravy soup? What the?
Glad you finally got to wear those super sparkly slippers.
You are a trooper!
Well done, and that is not said lightly, six rounds of chemo taxes every part of your being……. As you were being chemoed I was being nuked in radotherapy 8 down 17 to go, the good news, nothing but nothing is like chemo! Hope all was good with the scans and after three weeks you start to feel better and your world gathers some colour and movement again xx
So pleased to hear this phase of your journey is over. All the best for your preparation for surgery. Pleased to hear your plans for rest in preparation. xxx

A year ago, heralded USC freshman O.J. Mayo scored 32 points, took 27 shots and had seven rebounds and four assists in his first college game. He also had eight turnovers, and the Trojans were upset, 96-81, by Mercer.
This season's freshman star, DeMar DeRozan, wasn't as spectacular in good ways or bad. He had 14 points and took 11 shots. He had three rebounds, two steals, two turnovers and one assist. And USC won its opener, 78-55 over UC Irvine.
"You have all these tremendous expectations placed on you," Coach Tim Floyd said, "and it would be more natural than not to come out and try and show people 'I'm the man.'
"He's never been that way. DeMar is very unselfish and today he took what was given to him. He knew when to, and when not to, try and score. He had a penetration open late in the second half, UC Irvine filled the lane and closed it down, and DeMar kicked the ball to Dwight Lewis for an open three in front of our bench. A guy with an ego would have gone into the lane and tried to do too much."

There are many ways to create dazzling effects with makeup. The following method takes only minutes and requires basic cosmetic supplies. To create this look, you need synthetic makeup brushes, cosmetic sponges, foundation, concealer, lip gloss, blush, an eyebrow pencil, eyeliner and mascara.
Wash and dry your face
Makeup looks best on clean skin. Wash your face and pat it dry with a soft towel.
Cover blemishes and dark circles
Dip a small, thin brush into concealer and place tiny dabs on pimples, moles and other marks you wish to conceal. Pat the concealer until it covers the blemish but not the surrounding skin.
Apply foundation
Place a small amount of foundation on your forehead, chin and cheeks. Blend it with a sponge. Place a dab of foundation around your nose and blend again.
Create a rosy glow
Swirl blush directly below the apples of your cheeks. Use light strokes, and apply a small amount of pigment at a time.
Fill in your eyebrows
Fill your brows with an eyebrow pencil. Use short, feathery strokes and run the pencil lightly over your skin. Blend the color with a tapered eyebrow brush or a clean cotton swab.
Line your eyes
Use a sharp brown or black eyeliner along your upper lash lines. Make short, light strokes. Blend lightly with a cotton swab.
Curl your eyelashes and apply mascara
Place an eyelash curler at the base of your lashes and press firmly. Release the pressure, move the curler to the middle of your lashes and press again. Release, pull the curler out to the tips of your lashes and press once more. Apply a coat of black mascara and repeat with your other eye.
Slick your lips with gloss
Place a dab of lip gloss in center of each lip and press them together.

Please, let me know via email when the new review on this product is available.
A whole symphony of sensations which aren't for the timid. The two tiered ridge lines of the heads is challenging, intense, and pleasurable. Meanwhile, the two crescendos and everything in between is vibrating, which is a good thing because it takes your mind off jumping the second obstacle, until you're hurdling it like a pro.
A safe high-quality vibrator, that is quiet and easy to clean. Its large size and hefty weight feel wonderful, but there is a ridge partway down the shaft that some people may find to be painful.
Tantus' Deuce 1 is a jack-of-all-trades vibrator. It's great with a harness or without. The design means you can easily use it as both a vibrator or dildo. If you choose to explore the latter option, there's the added bonus of using the vibrating bullet for clitoral stimulation while using the dildo for vaginal stimulation.

Motorists urged to avoid travel during icy, snowy road conditions
LYNCHBURG – While most people were safe and warm in their beds, crews from the Lynchburg District of the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) and other locations across the state dealt with the bulk of this major winter storm and snow will continue to fall in many areas throughout today. VDOT continues to urge motorists to avoid travel during icy, snowy road conditions.
Motorists are reminded that snowplow operators will work on primary routes (those numbered 1-599) until winter weather has ended and major roads are treated with a goal to have all state-maintained roadways passable with 48 hours after a storm has ended. Passable does not necessarily mean the road will be clear and with temperatures expected to be below freezing into next week, it is likely that some snow/ice will remain on surfaces.
Traffic alerts and traveler information are available at www.511Virginia.org, on VDOT's 511 mobile app or by calling 511 from any phone in Virginia. Updates are available by following the Lynchburg District on Twitter at @VaDOTLynchburg. Additional information is also available on VDOT's webpage at www.VirginiaDOT.org.
Weather related road issues can be reported by calling 800-FOR-ROADS (800-367-7623) or by going to https://my.vdot.virginia.gov/.
The Lynchburg District includes the counties of Amherst, Appomattox, Buckingham, Campbell, Charlotte, Cumberland, Halifax, Nelson, Pittsylvania and Prince Edward.
Information in VDOT news releases was accurate at the time the release was published. For the most current information about projects or programs, please visit the project or program Web pages. You may find those by searching by keyword in the search Virginia DOT box above.

The video is based on our New Year's Eve New York City show.
This was only the second time this structure was fully activated at a show environment. The first one was just a day before at Tower Theater, Philadelphia.
The Shpongletron project was one of the most intense things I've ever done. I was given about a month deadline to come up with the design, 3d mapping, video, custom welded parts, screens, three-dimensional 6 foot Shpongle Mask sculpture, embedded lighting show, sourcing the dancers and transportation. But it worked - I've delivered what was asked from me.
At some point during the NYE show, Simon Posford's manager came up to me to confess something. "I didn't want to freak you out by telling you this earlier Zebbie... but I didn't think you could do it... I didn't think I gave you enough time." I had an instant playback of the previous month happen in my head right then and smiled with relief. It was done.
There was no way I could have accomplished such a feat on my own in such a short amount of time. I knew that well from the get go, and found a way to the right crew to help me bring this structure to life. Blake Courtney from BC Designs is a genius responsible for all of the custom welded parts as well as explaining to me everything I needed to know about scaffolding. Tess Lee from www.misstess.com pulled off some miracles of her own to get the crazy custom screens done on time. Dado Ramadani was the video genius that mapped and animated the Shpongle Mask sculpture I carved out of foam in 3d. Then there were some core people that answered a call for video submissions - mostly works from VJ Peter Parker and 1000Errors that really helped brighten up the show. My custom software Zebblertron got a major facelift just for this project from interim_descriptor (who's planning on releasing the software as an Apple App soon under the name DVJ). Jacob Fenwick helped code and install lighting support into Shpongletron. Katie Hayes totally covered all of our transportation needs out of the kindness of her heart. Matt (Hippie) Welch took serious charge in stage managing and rigging the structure at the shows, joined in NYC by Dorothy (Cookies) Bassett and Jon (Bonk) Macleod who also helped advance the mini-tour. Shane Martz came in at the right time - and helped us setup our critical structural/projection test at club Royale in Boston, who were gracious enough to accept us there. Thanks to Teva Macmillan for finding us the right projector/lenses and helping me figure out the projection technology. Simon Posford's management Coast II Coast came through at a few critical moments as well - helping us source the right gear for this project and leaning on the venues to give us the right amount of time to setup/test. And there were many other people along the way - that helped with their advice or physical assistance - thank you to all of you! You certainly helped me stay sane throughout December.
The hardest part is now over, but there is no time to rest. I am currently deep in designing additions to Shpongletron, editing a ton of new video content synced with Shpongle tracks and advancing our 2011 April-May Shpongle (Simon Posford DJ Set) US Tour as well as constantly working on new music videos with my a/v act Zebbler Encanti Experience. There are also talks happening with EOTO who may want a different projection-mapped stage to perform on for their March-April US Tour... which will put me right back into the second most intense month of my life - this upcoming February.
But what's done is done - and is now cached in the cyber-history.
You can find further documentation of the entire process on my facebook's photo album: http://tinyurl.com/shpongletron-creation

Sa'Dullah leads Burbank High girls' basketball past Crescenta Valley
By Emin Avakian, Special to the Burbank Leader
February 5, 2014
LA CRESCENTA - Sparked and backed by an unconscious first-quarter shooting display from its junior guard, the Burbank High girls' basketball team notched a huge Pacific League victory against host Crescenta Valley on Wednesday. Yassemeen Sa'Dullah connected on five of her seven three-pointers in the opening frame and scored 17 of her game-high 32 points to set the tone for the Bulldogs in a 50-47 overtime win over the Falcons. PHOTOS: Sa'Dullah sets tone for Burbank win over Crescenta Valley Sa'Dullah's opportunities to score were fewer thereafter, as the Falcons defense switched to a man-to-man from a 2-3 zone and bottled her up as best as it could, with Samantha Lamb as the primary defender, but Sa'Dullah took matters into her hands again late and scored seven of the team's nine overtime points to secure the victory.
Burroughs High boys' soccer plays short-handed, falls in first-place battle with Pasadena
By Jeff Tully,
February 5, 2014
PASADENA - It was one of the worst ways to start what was arguably its most important match of the season. In a first-place Pacific League battle with Pasadena on Wednesday, the Burroughs High boys' soccer team put itself in a precarious situation after one of its players drew a red card for a foul inside the goalbox in the first 15 seconds of the contest on the road. The Bulldogs were given a penalty kick, which they made good on. But what was more detrimental for Burroughs was that it was forced to play a man down.
Burbank High boys' basketball done in by Muir in OT once more
By Joey Kaufman, Special to the Burbank Leader
February 3, 2014
PASADENA - For the second time this season, the Burbank High boys' basketball team took a gut punch from Muir. On Jan. 13, the Bulldogs fell to the Mustangs by two points in a five-overtime slugfest. Squaring off in a Pacific League rematch on Monday night, Burbank again came up short in a similar see-saw finish, losing, 62-58, in overtime. "We're very close, we play hard," Burbank Coach Jerry DeLaurie said, "but we didn't execute well at the end." The Bulldogs (10-12, 4-6 in league)
Sa'Dullah sparks Burbank basketball to win against Arcadia
By Jeff Tully,
January 31, 2014
BURBANK - The shots for Burbank High's Yazzy Sa'Dullah were just not falling in the first half against Arcadia. With a depleted squad, if the Bulldogs girls' basketball team hoped to pick up an important Pacific League game against the Apaches on Friday, it looked as if they would have to do so without its leading scorer, who was held scoreless throughout the first quarter and five minutes into the second. But the junior hit two shots toward the end of the second quarter and got a hot hand in the third to spark a Burbank comeback.
Identical fate for Burbank girls' soccer against Arcadia
By Nathan Cambridge, special to the Leader
January 31, 2014
ARCADIA - The last time the Burbank High girls' soccer team matched up with Arcadia in the second game of its Pacific League docket, the Apaches dealt the host Bulldogs their first loss in league play. In the rematch Friday afternoon, Burbank had the opportunity to do the same to Arcadia, which came in still undefeated in league. However, despite holding on against the host Apaches into the second half, the Bulldogs fell, 2-1. "We hung in there and we played a good game," said Burbank Coach Eric Montoya, whose Bulldogs lost their first matchup with Arcadia by an identical 2-1 margin.
Quick start nets win for Burroughs boys' soccer over rival Burbank
By Robert Fulton and By Robert Fulton
January 24, 2014
BURBANK - Less than a minute into his team's game against Burbank High, Burroughs soccer player VJ Salazar was, as Indians coach Mike Kodama would say later, where he was supposed to be. Salazar took the rebound off a missed shot and connected on a long-range goal into an open net. That goal gave Burroughs an early lead and set the tone for the match, as the Indians defeated the Bulldogs, 4-1, at Burbank High on Friday. "That first goal I just saw the rebound and an open net, so I just took the finish and scored it," Salazar said.
Burroughs boys' basketball slams past Burbank
By Robert Fulton, special to the Leader
January 24, 2014
BURBANK - The exclamation point for the Burroughs High boys basketball team came early in the fourth period. The Indians led rival Burbank by 11 when Burroughs' Amaad Wainwright grabbed a defensive rebound. Wainwright pivoted and launched the ball, hitting teammate Rashid Ewing in stride. Ewing finished the play with an emphatic dunk, igniting the visiting side of the bleachers. PHOTOS: Burroughs defeats Burbank 68-48, in Pacific League action Friday "That's something my brother taught me when I was young," Wainwright said.
Burroughs High girls' soccer takes physical one from Burbank
By Andrew J. Campa,
January 24, 2014
BURBANK - About all that stood after 80-plus minutes of crosstown rivalry girls' soccer between Burbank High and host Burroughs at Memorial Field was a 30th-minute goal. PHOTOS: Burroughs High girls' soccer wins against Burbank High Other than that, the Indians and Bulldogs spent much of Friday afternoon's Pacific League contest hammering each other, while also attacking the opposing nets. In a contest that included four yellow cards, one penalty kick and several injuries, Burroughs will have a win to soothe its bruises as the Indians topped Burbank, 1-0. "I've seen a lot of cool things in sports and this was one of them," Indians first-year Coach Brady Riggs said.
Burbank High boys' basketball presses Glendale into submission
By Andrew J. Campa,
January 21, 2014
GLENDALE - Thanks to a hounding press defense, the Burbank High boys' basketball team not only picked up a valuable and impressive victory over host Glendale High on Tuesday evening, but the Bulldogs might have also salvaged their postseason chances while taking some momentum into Friday's showdown with crosstown archrival Burroughs. Burbank forced 20 turnovers and took control of the Pacific League contest in the second quarter en route to 57-45 victory at Nitros gym. PHOTOS: Glendale vs. Burbank boys' basketball With the victory, the Bulldogs improved to 9-9 overall and 3-3 in league and will host Burroughs (13-5, 5-1)

Hello everyone, I hope you are well. It's been a few weeks since my last entry, so here is an update of what has been happening so far. As you may remember from my last entry, I had planned to go to Brighton for the day, as well as Paris. Both were really good days out, and I had a great time in both places. Having a change of scenery for a short while was nice.
We were really lucky with the weather in Brighton. The day my friends and I had planned to go, it was forecast to rain all day, but when we arrived, the sun was shining, and there were clear blue skies. It was really nice to just sit on the beach and look out to sea. There was something quite calming about it, and it made me wish I lived closer to the sea. I think if I lived by the sea, I would sit with a book on a daily basis and put the stresses of the day behind me.
The weather in Paris was not quite as nice as it was in Brighton. It was forecast to rain all day, and it did rain most of the day (as you can see in the picture of the Notre Dame) and it did rain ae! I am very happy with that, and it was exactly what I needed. lot of tourist stuff including s. This did put a damper on things (excuse the pun), and it did make us feel slightly miserable, but it was still a good day nonetheless. We did a lot of tourist things as well, including visiting the Arc de Triomphe, the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, and the Notre Dame, as well as navigating the confusing transport system used in Paris. The city of Paris is beautiful, and the food was amazing! I wish I could have bread from France delivered to my house daily, it was simply amazing!
In other news, I received the official results for my degree: I will be graduating on July 15th with an upper second class degree! I am very happy with that, and it was exactly what I needed.

Families & Allies of Virginia's Youth (FAVY) Families & Allies of Virginia's Youth (FAVY)
Here's a sample of our volunteer opportunities:VIEW AS
Please wait . . .
Mission Statement
Families & Allies of Virginia's Youth is a diverse group of people who care about youth who are in the justice system in Virginia.
We support and empower families who have young people in the justice system. We share information and help people understand the juvenile justice system.
We also advocate for a justice system that gives youth a better chance to become successful adults.
Our Principles
These principles guide our advocacy:
- Reduce institutionalization of youth. Secure detention and incarceration should only be used for youth who pose serious public safety risks.
- Reduce racial and ethnic disparity. Youth of color are dramatically over-represented in Virginia's juvenile justice system. This "disproportionate minority contact" must be reduced.
- Create smaller, rehabilitative institutions. Large, remote prison-like facilities are ineffective. They should be replaced with smaller local facilities that provide appropriate programs and services.
- Create a range of community-based alternatives to incarceration. Alternative programs based in youths' communities are more effective in developing youth and keeping them from re-offending.
- Keep youth out of the adult criminal system. Youth tried as adults are much more likely to commit more crimes, to be abused, and to commit suicide, especially if they are held in adult jails and prisons.
- Maximize youth, family and community participation. Juvenile justice systems must partner with youth, families and communities to create better outcomes.
- Ensure meaningful access to legal counsel. Throughout the court process, all youth need access to attorneys who are qualified and have adequate resources and training.
- Improve aftercare and re-entry. Programs and services, education and/or job placement must be planned and coordinated to help young people succeed when they are released from secure facilities.
- Recognize and serve youth with special needs. Youth whose primary problems are mental health, substance abuse, learning, and developmental problems should not be dumped into the juvenile justice system.
- Hold systems accountable for youth outcomes. The juvenile justice system must be held accountable for keeping youth safe and providing the services and programs youth need to develop into productive adults.

Brief summary of different kinds of vows and the rulings on them
If a person makes niyyat of maanat that if his or her maanat is fulfilled,they will recit the story of Bebe Sayadia(RTA) or disterbute sweets in the name of "Allah" or pray 2 raakats of shukrana nafals or go to the shirn of a saint is this permited and what is the permited way of islam to do?
Praise be to Allaah.
This question includes a variety of issues, some of which are very strange indeed. For your benefit and that of other readers, in sha Allaah, we have discussed the issue of vows, their various types and the basic rulings on vows in Question # 2587.
Another point related to your question is that a vow is only binding if it is expressed verbally or by one's actions. If a person only has the intention in his heart, this does not make it obligatory for him to fulfil the vow. One must also beware of making vows that are bid'ah (innovations) or vows to visit places that it is haraam to visit. We ask Allaah to give us the strength to do that which He loves and that pleases Him. May Allaah bless our Prophet Muhammad.

2013 Nissan Rogue will live on as the 2014 Nissan Rogue Select
Although the all-new 2014 Nissan Rogue is due in showrooms later this year, the automaker has announced that it will continue selling a version of the present first-generation model as the 2014 Nissan Rogue Select which will serve as the most affordable member of the family. This decision reflects the fortuitous reality that the current Rogue remains extremely popular - it's Nissan's second-best selling model here in America - and marketing types within the organization see an opportunity to further broaden the buyer base.
Also: 10 Best Sedans Under $25,000 for 2013
"As the compact SUV segment is becoming very specialized, there is an opening for a low-cost, high-content offering, which is a gap that Rogue Select will fill," said Fred Diaz, divisional vice president, Sales and Marketing, Nissan North America, Inc. "Rogue Select will allow Nissan to continue its strong performance in the segment, which will only get stronger once the all-new, U.S.-built 2014 Rogue goes on sale."
Also: 10 Best SUVs Under $25,000 for 2013
Details about the 2014 Rogue Select are fairly limited at this point. However Nissan told KBB.com it will be a "well-equipped" albeit largely mono-spec model -- something in line with today's SV-spec Rogue -- that will offer limited options and be available in front or all-wheel drive. On sale in January, the repackaged Rogue Select will carry a starting M.S.R.P. below $20,000 - although we expect the figure will rise north of that benchmark when you add in the expected $860 destination fee. While the all-new Gen II Rogue will be built in Nissan's assembly facility in Smyrna, Tennessee, the Rogue Select will continue to roll out of the plant in Kyushu, Japan.

Introduction. Internal nasal valve incompetence (INVI) has been treated with various surgical methods. Large, single surgeon case series are lacking, meaning that the evidence supporting a particular technique has been deficient. We present a case series using alar batten grafts to reconstruct the internal nasal valve, all performed by the senior author. Methods. Over a 7-year period, 107 patients with nasal obstruction caused by INVI underwent alar batten grafting. Preoperative assessment included the use of nasal strips to evaluate symptom improvement. Visual analogue scale (VAS) assessment of nasal blockage (NB) and quality of life (QOL) both pre- and postoperatively were performed and analysed with the Wilcoxon signed rank test. Results. Sixty-seven patients responded to both pre- and postoperative questionnaires. Ninety-one percent reported an improvement in NB and 88% an improvement in QOL. The greatest improvement was seen at 6 months (median VAS 15 mm and 88 mm resp., with a P value of <0.05 for both). Nasal strips were used preoperatively and are a useful tool in predicting patient operative success in both NB and QOL (odds ratio 2.15 and 2.58, resp.). Conclusions. Alar batten graft insertion as a single technique is a valid technique in treating INVI and produces good outcomes.
1. Introduction
Internal nasal valve incompetence (INVI) is an often overlooked cause of nasal obstruction which in turn can mistakenly be attributed to other anatomical variations such as septal deviation and turbinate hypertrophy. It is characterised by the collapse during inspiration of the upper lateral cartilages; a narrowing of the angle between the dorsal septum and upper laterals can also contribute but to a lesser extent. Functional rhinoplasty procedures for INVI have evolved over the past decade. A wide range of techniques exists in which surgeons use alar batten and/or spreader grafts, butterfly grafts, lateral crural strut grafts, alar rim grafts [1], and lateral suspension sutures. Alar batten grafts were first shown by Toriumi et al. [2] as an effective technique for correction of internal nasal valve collapse. Since then they have been widely used, but a reliable case series has yet to be published.
Case-based series assessing specific techniques are not widely available. When single-technique series are published, they often concentrate on the cosmetic outcomes. Series are usually small [3] and involve several operating surgeons [4] without specific outcomes. Recent papers have called for a single technique by a single operating surgeon to be assessed [5].
Predictors of which patients will benefit from alar batten graft functional rhinoplasty are also not well described. Without actively examining for INVI, a clinician may not identify the cause of symptoms which many patients find to have a considerable impact on their quality of life. Various scoring systems such as the NOSE scale do not specifically relate to the symptoms of INVI [6]. While clinicians could carry out rhinomanometry to assess the severity of INVI, how this relates to symptom improvement following an invasive procedure is not clear. As functional rhinoplasty procedures continue to grow, there is a need for a simple yet effective method for assessing patients preoperatively. We present a large case series of one specific technique, alar batten grafts, to treat INVI; this includes the use of nasal strips as a positive predictor in the success of surgery. All procedures were performed by the senior author with long-term followup.
2. Methods
One hundred and seven consecutive patients with INVI seen in the routine Ear, Nose, and Throat clinics of the East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust district were included in this prospective study over a seven-year period. All patients were assessed pre-operatively by the senior author for clinical confirmation of INVI. This assessment included verification of nasal airflow restriction, worse on inspiration, in either newly presenting patients or those not previously improved by other surgical procedure(s). Patients were assessed for a positive Cottle's manoeuvre for evidence of INVI on inspiration. They were also assessed for airflow improvement after decongestion with xylometazoline 0.1% spray whereby those cases with nasal congestion secondary to inferior turbinate hypertrophy who improved with decongestion were excluded. Patients were asked to complete a pre-operative questionnaire detailing previous procedures, nasal trauma, and the use of nasal strips during pre-operative assessment.
All patients were asked to try adhesive nasal strips prior to surgery and asked if the strips had improved nasal breathing. This was not compulsory and therefore not all patients took part in this intervention.
Visual analogue scales (VAS) (0–100 mm) were used to assess the degree of nasal blockage (where 0 is the least possible blockage and 100 the worst possible) and quality of life (where 0 is "severe impact on quality of life" and 100 "excellent quality of life"). The scales were marked with the extreme of symptoms but not a numbered scale. This was completed at pre-operative assessment and then postoperatively at the appropriate follow-up appointments, at 1 week, 6 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months. Patients were seen at varying intervals depending on clinical need.
Pre- and post-operative VAS scores were evaluated. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to assess the nonparametric data at the post-operative time intervals indicated above. Some patients were followed up for longer periods of time with the VAS but numbers were too low to be clinically relevant.
2.1. Operative Technique
It was the senior author's practice to use batten grafts only as the single method for correction of INVI. The aim of this technique was to strengthen the lateral walls, thus preventing internal nasal valve collapse, rather than increasing the cross-sectional space or reconstructing the external nasal valve. All patients were consented for functional rhinoplasty with graft harvesting from septal or auricular cartilage.
2.2. Preparation
Following preparation of the nose with Moffat's solution, a Killian's incision was made. Subsequent raising of the submucoperichondrial flaps allowed access to the quadrilateral cartilage. If septal deviation was present, a septoplasty was performed to improve nasal patency. Cartilage was harvested via a standard submucous resection technique. The cartilage was assessed for size and quality intraoperatively and kept in 0.9% saline solution until required. If the amount of septal cartilage harvested was deemed insufficient in amount and/or quality, auricular cartilage was harvested instead. Conchal cartilage was obtained following marking the antihelical fold through the posterior aspect of the pinna with Bonney's blue ink applied with a 16 G gauge (green) needle. An incision was made on the posterior surface of the pinna along the line of the blue marks, conchal cartilage harvested, and the incision closed with dissolvable sutures.
2.3. Alar Batten Graft Insertion
Grafts were fashioned in strips from the harvested cartilage, measuring 12–20 mm by 6–8 mm. This was dependent on the dimension of the lateral nasal wall as evaluated by the senior author and also partially related to the quality of quadrilateral cartilage available. To raise pockets for graft insertion, an incision was made at the dorsal edge of the septum at the junction of the upper lateral cartilages (ULCs). The caudal edges of the ULCs were dissected just to the edge of the piriform aperture and a pocket fashioned. Following this, the cartilage grafts were adjusted to fit the dissected pockets within the "scroll" area between the ULCs and lateral crura of the lower lateral cartilages (see Figure 1). The scroll area itself is left intact with the graft laying cephalic to the s-shaped scroll. Once inserted, the grafts were secured with 5/0 Ethilon to the septum to prevent migration. The Killian's incision was closed with dissolvable sutures.
3. Results
One hundred and seven patients underwent functional rhinoplasty to treat INVI. Sixty-two patients were females.
Ninety-four patients (87.9%) responded to a pre-operative questionnaire. Eighty-five patients (79.4%) responded to post-operative questionnaires reevaluation of their symptoms using the exact VAS assessment tool used pre-operatively. Post-operative followup (and repeat of VAS assessment) was performed according to patient clinical need, and hence patients were assessed at different post-operative time points. For those patients who completed both pre- and post-operative questionnaires (67 patients), 91% of patients reported long-term improvement in nasal blockage on VAS using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test; values for this test can be seen in Table 1.
3.1. Improvement over Time
Nasal breathing: prior to surgery, the median VAS of nasal blockage (0 mm = no blockage, 100 mm = full blockage) was 73.5 (range 18–100). Post-operatively, this improved to 32 mm, 17 mm, 15 mm, 19 mm, and 25 mm for 1-week, 6-week, 6-month, 12-month and 18-month periods respectively (see Table 1 for ranges). This is displayed in Figure 2, and 3 patients felt there was a decline in nasal patency following surgery; 2 patients experienced an initial improvement then decline. One patient experienced no change in symptoms.
Quality of life scores: similar to nasal patency scores, quality of life scores also improved post-operatively (albeit based on a slightly lower figure of 59 patients, 88%). The largest improvement was seen within the first 6 months following surgery. Two patients felt there was no improvement in QOL following surgery, 3 patients felt there was a decline, and 3 patients felt an initial improvement followed by decline.
3.2. Postoperative Complications
Of the 107 patients initially included in the study, one patient developed unsightly nostril asymmetry as a result of inadvertent hitching of the graft to the lower lateral cartilage necessitating a subsequent cosmetic surgical treatment. One patient developed a post-operative infection characterised by persistent pain and redness. This settled with oral antibiotics. In 5 cases, the graft was seen to have resorbed significantly necessitating further surgery using auricular cartilage graft replacement for the original septal batten grafts; revision grafting was successful in all occasions. One patient required removal of the graft at a second procedure as the initial procedure had failed to improve nasal airflow and the graft was deemed unsightly.
3.3. Do Nasal Strips Predict Future Surgical Success?
Following initial examination, patients were asked to try nasal strips prior to surgery. Fifty-four patients did so and of them 46 patients found that the nasal strips improved their symptoms. Following surgery, 49 patients within this group had improvement in post-operative "nasal blockage" scores (odds ratio 2.152 (95% confidence interval 0.303–4.001)). This was similar to "quality of life scores" with odds ratio of 2.580 (95% confidence interval 0.566–4.594).
4. Discussion
Alar batten grafting as a single procedure is a useful technique for treating INVI. The technique concentrates on improving the structural integrity of the internal nasal valve rather than increasing its cross-sectional area. This is thought to be the key in treating this condition [7] and probably accounts for the improvements in nasal obstruction score experienced by patients. Symptomatic INVI is due to significant collapse of the ULCs during nasal inspiration either during exercise or at rest. Alar batten grafts improve the rigidity of the ULCs preventing collapse during negative upper airway pressure during inspiration (with septoplasty where necessary, although all patients have undergone a degree of submucous resection for graft harvesting or during previous septal surgery at a separate date). As collapse of the internal nasal valve is a dynamic process, the alar batten graft is not required to improve the overall nasal patency.
Our study has provided evidence that the procedure is helpful to patients not only for short-term 6 weeks but also for longer periods of time. It is difficult within a busy NHS department (from which the majority of patients were recruited) to follow up NHS patients a long term due to a variety of factors the most important of which are demanding on-clinic follow-up slots, frequent change in clinical staff and patient migration to other areas. We readily admit that longer followup would be desirable but we feel that the current data as presented is at least useful. Another area for criticism is the use of a VAS to assess quality of life; while not recognised as a specific health utility to assess this aspect of surgical outcome, it does provide a useful insight into patient satisfaction in regard to their nasal surgery with minimal time input for the user. We felt that just assessing nasal blockage as the sole outcome would be too biased opinion in the technique and we wanted a more holistic view of outcomes but appreciated that patients did not always have time to complete lengthy questionnaires.
INVI has been treated with a range of different techniques. Several different types of grafts have been used such as lateral crural strut grafts and spreader grafts [1], sometimes in combination with alar batten grafts [8]. It is difficult to assess the effectiveness of alar batten graft placement alone. This paper allows evaluation of this single technique. The assessment of a single technique for purely functional reasons is not widely available. Graft insertion is often combined with other procedures such as inferior turbinate reduction [9] and can concentrate on cosmetic outcome rather than functional results [10] or the correction of external nasal valve correction. Further INVI surgery is often performed by several surgeons within an institution [11]. This case series adds valuable data to previously published work [5] and is one of the only case series performed by one operating surgeon. This provides consistency in technique unlike other series published.
Many patients presenting with INVI have had previous nasal surgery with unsuccessful results/outcomes. We feel that this is often due to mis-diagnosis leading to unsatisfactory outcomes following routine nasal procedures. We would advise clinicians to include Cottle's manoeuvre when performing routine examination of the nose for nasal obstruction although it should only be used in quiet inspiration as applicable to routine respiration. We would advise this during general inspection of the nose and prior to decongestion with xylometazoline spray. In our experience, patients with INVI often find immediate relief during this manoeuvre although it can be nonspecific and should not be used as the sole basis for recommending surgery for INVI.
Nasal strips are a useful positive predictor of those who will benefit from alar batten grafts. By using nasal strips in pre-operative assessment, the clinician can identify those patients who will improve both in terms of nasal obstruction and in quality of life (odds ratio 2.15 and 2.58, resp.). Ideally all patients in our study would have used the strips but as these are not provided on the NHS and come therefore at the patients' own cost, we did not insist on patients' participation. Gruber et al. have documented the use of nasal strips to evaluate "inspiratory nasal function" [12] but to our knowledge the relationship between this and post-operative outcomes has not previously been documented. With such a simple, noninvasive test, clinicians now have an excellent diagnostic tool in the investigation of such patients.
5. Conclusions
(i)Clinicians should use Cottle's manoeuvre to examine all patients with nasal obstruction prior to application of nasal decongestants but must recognise that its results are user dependent and that oversupporting the upper lateral cartilages will give a false impression of possible surgical outcomes.(ii)Alar batten graft to provide structural integrity of the internal nasal valve is a reliable technique with good outcomes in both nasal patency and quality of life scores. This technique has been refined by the senior author and shows that alar batten grafts alone (rather than in combination with spreader grafts) are adequate.(iii)Improvement in nasal patency with nasal strips is a good predictor of those patients who will benefit from alar batten grafting.

I just realized that I always say that I love to read...but I never get around to the actual reading part! 9 out of the 12 months of the year, my main focus is on school, and the three months that I have "off", I'm working for two internships! Needless to say, I'm going to make that effort to pick up a few books to read this summer and hopefully make this a habit to follow the rest of the year.
First on my list is The Hunger Games. Ever since I saw the movie in theatres, I have been in love with the story and went straight to Barnes & Noble to pick up a copy. I'll probably read the rest of the series because I have this thing about completing a series, whether it's books or TV shows.
Another random book that's on my list is Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man. I saw this movie with some friends while I was away at college and they decided to start a book discussion over the topics in the book. This should be interesting.
So, this is the start of my reading journey. Recommendations are always welcome =)

I have a new addiction and a new love...Pinterest.
How did I not know about Pinterest before? Why didn't anyone introduce this to me sooner?
Now I have fantastic ideas for my wedding such as....
This cake...
These shoes....
I must have these shoes!
And how about this menu?!?
Not only have I found wedding ideas, I have made a board specifically for my dream home someday.
I love this laundry room...
You know you are an adult when you get excited over a laundry room.
And this will be my pantry someday!
How great is this idea?
Storing bedroom sheets in their matching pillow cases?!?!
Thank you Pinterest!
I will definitely be making this menu board as my summer project.
It's brilliant :)
Currently I use a sticky note that sits on the fridge with lots of scribbling and writing all over it.
I must have this menu board in my life!
I also found this idea...
I absolutely love this. Little ways to make each other feel loved and special by leaving a little note.
Definitely going to do this.
Well there you have it.
I'm completely and utterly addicted to Pinterest!
Good luck to me getting any homework done now :)
One more Pinterest find.
In honor of Titanic coming back to theaters this upcoming week...
Seriously. True story!
The End.
I have to end this post so I can look for more cool stuff on Pinterest.

Histopolis Place-of-the-Day
Histopolis features a different cemetery, town, county or other place every day on the Place-of-The-Day.
Sunday, February 13, 2011
The Histopolis Place-of-the-Day for Sunday, February 13, 2011 is the Saint Francois County in Missouri.
"St. Francois County is a county located in the Lead Belt region in Missouri in the United States. As of the 2000 U.S. Census, the county's population was 55,641. A 2009 estimate, however, showed the population to be 63,884. The largest city and county seat is Farmington. The county was officially organized on December 19, 1821. It was named after the St. Francis River. The origin of the river's name is unclear. It might refer to St. Francis of Assisi. Another possibility is that Jacques Marquette, a Jesuit who explored the region in 1673, named the river for the Jesuit missionary Francis Xavier. Marquette had spent some time at the mission of St. Francois Xavier before his voyage and, as a Jesuit, was unlikely to have given the river a name honoring the Franciscans. Natives pronounce the county's name as if it were the English "Saint Francis."
"The Farmington Micropolitan Statistical Area consists of St. Francois County. St. Francois County is a component of the Saint Louis CSA also known as Greater St. Louis."
Explore Saint Francois County on Histopolis now. If you have a place that you would like to see featured as the Histopolis Place-of-the-Day, contact the webmaster to suggest it.
February 2011
Note: The first Place-of-the-Day was in September 2010

Pleasanton in Atascosa County, Texas — The American South (West South Central)
Old Rock Schoolhouse
A storm cellar in the school yard served as a sanctuary against Comanche Indian raids on many occasions. Children attended classes six months of the year at no charge, but paid tuition for the remaining three months of the term. The Pleasanton Normal School, a training institute for teachers, operated in the schoolhouse during the summer months.
After the city built a new public school on Main Street about 1913, the Old Rock Schoolhouse was closed. It later served as a store, a private residence, and an apartment building. Purchased by the First Baptist Church in 1986, it later was renovated to serve once again as an educational facility. Known for many years to local residents as the "Red Rock Schoolhouse," its original sandstone exterior was concealed under a coat of plaster and paint.
Erected 1991 by Texas Historical Commission. (Marker Number 3797.)

Florence Robinson
About this video:
Florence Robinson is a retired Professor of Biology who spent many years advocating for her community that faced threats to their health due to the surrounding industry. Her tireless work made her one of the iconic leaders of the environmental justice struggles in Louisiana and earned her the Heinz Award in the Environment. The following bio of Ms Robinson is an excerpt from the Heinz Awards website.
Since she accepted a position as professor of biology at her alma mater, Southern University in the early 1970s, Ms. Robinson has lived in the small community of Alsen, near Devil's Swamp. Once an idyllic spot, Alsen was home to many newly freed slaves who, settling there after the Civil War, enjoyed cool, clean water and plentiful harvests. That ended in 1964 when an industrial "borrow" pit was opened in Alsen to dispose of hazardous waste. The area was further fouled by 11 nearby petrochemical plants, a commercial hazardous waste incinerator, and several waste landfills.
Statistics from a 1987 study by the New York Commission of Racial Justice concluded that 50 percent of the petrochemical and hazardous waste companies operating in the south do so in areas of high minority concentration. This environmental racism and the controversy surrounding it are not new, but activism in response to it is.
Ms. Robinson had a clear sense of what needed to be done. Because she would not sacrifice her home, or the health of her family and her community, her battle against environmental racism was begun. With quiet but indefatigable determination, she organized her neighbors, and demanded to be heard.
In 1993, she finally was. That year and in 1994, the Superfund Commission convened hearings bringing together Fortune 500 CEOs, national environmental leaders, legislators, and citizens who lived near at-risk sites. An unlikely advocate, Ms. Robinson emerged during those hearings as a passionate and inspiring voice for change. (see the links below to learn more)

LOS ANGELES (CBS.MW) -- A book by James Glassman and Kevin Hassett, titled "Dow 36,000," asserts that the Dow index should be priced at 36,000 and that other stock indices should also be commensurately higher.
"It is an accident of history that stocks have not been more risky than bonds in past decades, but it is flawed economics to expect that accident to continue to happen in the future. "
Their model for calculating what they call "correct" stock prices is essentially identical to what I have presented in past columns, basing "correct" price-to-earnings ratios on the expected returns of stocks and on the expected rate of growth in corporate earnings.
However, they jump way past my results when they claim that the expected return on stocks should be no higher than that on Treasury bonds. From this premise, they derive a "correct" P/E on stocks of about 100-to-1.
They point out that since stocks have outperformed bonds in every twenty-year period in the last sixty years, stocks are no riskier than bonds. And since they're no riskier, they should have a rate of return no higher than that on bonds.
Stocks are riskier
This claim is crucial to their story, and it is fatally flawed. Stocks are inherently more risky than Treasury bonds. Any efficient market pricing will allow for that extra risk. It is an accident of history that stocks have not been more risky than bonds in past decades, but it is flawed economics to expect that accident to continue to happen in the future.
Glassman and Hassett confuse past results with future expectations. Their story is, in effect, anti-market, since they expect the financial markets to continually make the same mistake.
Again, stocks are riskier than TBonds. TBonds have no default or credit risk, only inflation risk. Corporate bonds have default risk as well as inflation risk, and so they bear a higher rate of return than TBonds. Corporate equities are "junior" to corporate bonds and so are riskier still.
Equities are two orders of magnitude riskier than TBonds. They MUST bear a higher expected return to compensate investors for that extra risk. Over time, the market will demand more or less compensation for that risk, but it will never incur it for free, nor can it be completely diversified away.
An accident of history
Glassman and Hassett would argue that this extra risk has not evinced itself in recent decades. However, this is, again, an accident of past history. Their analysis makes the mistake of assuming that past historical results can be expected to continue to occur in the future.
By way of analogy, suppose you have been buying life insurance for the last sixty years, and here you are -- still alive. Glassman and Hassett's logic would imply that since you haven't died in the last sixty years, there is no risk of you dying in the future, so you don't need life insurance.
The truth is, of course, that there was always a chance of you dying in the past. Life insurance provided protection from that risk, as it does now. You may have overpaid for it in the past, but that doesn't mean it's unnecessary now.
Market compensates for risk
In fact, the purpose of market pricing is to correctly compensate investors for risk. Stocks are intrinsically riskier than bonds. If the market has over-compensated investors for bearing this risk in the past, then stock prices should rise today relative to bond prices to the point where stocks today offer a premium on yield over TBonds that is exactly commensurate to the extra risk stocks entail. At that point, again, the expected return on stocks will be higher than that on bonds.
Robert Frost once wrote, "Nothing gold can stay." The whole point of markets is to make this statement come true, to raise the price of "golden" investments and lower the price of "bad" investments until the expected returns on all investments are commensurate with their risks.
In contrast, Glassman and Hassett argue that since stocks were "underpriced" in the past, they should be continually "overpriced" in the future. Robert Frost wouldn't go for that argument, and neither would Adam Smith.

In our first road-test date with the Goddess of Dawn ["The Goddess Goes Topless," C/D, January], our response was cautiously positive. But when we pitted the Eos against a quartet of its contemporaries, we found our collective assessment drifting down toward, "So what makes you think you're a goddess?" It can't be her figure, which suffers from odd proportions.
But the Eos has its strong suits, one of which is price. Playing in a 40-something field meant this VW, with a base price of $28,750, could hit the line loaded with stuff, including its most potent engine option--a 250-hp, 3.2-liter V-6--which also happened to be the most potent engine in these games.
Mated to VW's Direct Shift Gearbox automated manual, this robust power source hurried the goddess to 60 mph in 6.5 seconds, best in test, and the quarter-mile in 15.1 at 94 mph, also tops. Sounded sweet doing it, too; mark it up as best exhaust note.
There were also nondynamic assets. The VW has a big sunroof integrated into its folding hardtop, nice for days when conditions mitigate against toplessness. The interior décor--a fetching blend of black and cream with wood trim--was very uptown, and the steering wheel is cleverly shaped to put the driver's hands exactly where God and Bob Bondurant say they should be.
Then there's the top. All these self-folders are engineering marvels, but the Eos is arguably the most entertaining in action--sort of like seeing time-lapse movies of bridge construction. Never mind that it's the slowest down and up.
But that top is also the source of a big demerit: wind noise. Okay, the Eos posted the lowest dBA readings at a steady 70 mph. But this changed dramatically when speeds crept above 70, and the logbook was lacerated with comments such as "deafening."
The VW's structure measured up well versus its rivals, but the mission concept apparently didn't envision the kind of athletic responses we value in cars such as the GTI and Jetta GLI. Flabby suspension tuning made the Eos a reluctant player in the high-country portions of our convertigames, a shortcoming aggravated by brake feel that was closely akin to stepping in a peat bog.
Conclusion: Like the C70, the Eos is happiest as a café cruiser. This goddess is not programmed for frolic.

Where the hell has September gone?
Like, seriously, it doesn't seem five minutes ago I was typing up my favourite things in August. Now, I'm doing it for September and it's a little weird. The end of September does mean that it's finally October. I bloody love October. It's my birthday month (29th FYI guys), I'm going to the National Wedding Show* and The Cake and Bake Show. I'm off to hang with my best friend and fellow blogger, Northerner Down South where we're going to see Wicked and eat loads of carbs. Best of all, it's soon to be Halloween and I can stomp about in chunky boots for the next 3 months. Winner.
So what have I been up to in September? Firstly, I attended my first ever blogging event! I attended the West Midlands Blogger Meet which you can read about here. I attended Hilarys Blinds Crafternoon weekend in Manchester with Joe Blog, that post will be coming up in the week! Rufus had his plums off which made me super emotional and needy on the day. I literally spent the day clock watching and waiting for 3pm so I could go and collect him. I dread if he ever has a serious operation as I wouldn't be able to control myself. I'd be that person in Casualty who makes a massive scene, except it'll be more embarrassing as it's in a vets. The Geek & I have also really, really got into pub quizzing. I organised for a few of my work colleagues to meet up on a Monday night and take part in a pub quiz. It's amazing how many people love it and actually how much we learn each week.
So, my total favourites on the month? Here we go.
I jumped on the bandwagon and I'm sure you've seen these on everyone's Instagram photos. These are a total steal. I've bought them as decorative candles only as I really don't want to burn them as they are that pretty. I've got them on my chest of drawers in my bedroom – ready for any blog photo opportunity. The best thing about these is that they are only two quid each!
West Midlands Blogger Meet
I went to my first blogging meet up this month. I met up with some fabulous people where we ate cake and chatted all things blog. You can read about the full event here. In short, I met so many lovely people and it was great to put faces to blogs. We're hopefully arranging a little meet up in November for Birmingham's Christmas markets and cocktails. Pretty Lovely Bloggers are holding a Christmas event too. If it's going to be anything like the West Midlands Blogger Meet Up, it's going to be amazing.
This lipstick has changed my life and I love it. Tore from A Tiny Mew introduced it to my life and I finally managed to pick it up in my local Superdrug. I know it's all about autumnal berry lips at the moment but I don't think you can beat a nude lip. Everyone suits a nude lip and for a quid, this is a steal. Not to mention, it's so similar to MAC Velvet Teddy without the crazy price tag.
Autumn Walks
One of the best things about having a hound is the amount of fresh air you get. If you caught my Dog Walking Wish List post you'll know about my dilemma with my dog walking wardrobe. Safe to say, I'm slowly building it as autumn walks are becoming more and more of a thing. On a dry autumn day, it's lovely just to get in the car and drive somewhere where we can take Rufus on a walk. It's one of the highlights of my day taking Rufus out with the Geek because it gives us a chance to catch up on our days, discuss life and just be away from the world for a little bit. It's even better after the walk where we drink coffee and eat cake.
Blogger Friends
I feel September was the month where I really cemented my friendship with my blogging friends. I've spent the last few weeks speaking to Ren and Sarah non stop and y'know what? I really love it. I've really gotten to know these 2 girls and I love catching up with them. I really can't wait to catch up with other blogging friends. I'm going to start making more time to get to know more pals in October. So, if you want a friend guys I'm your gal.
What have you guys been loving this month? Give me some recommendations!
