There are times we know something is wrong but we cannot name it or make sense of it. Or we know what is troubling us but find it awkward to talk to someone about it, afraid what our loved ones or friends or even a counsellor might think.
What will happen if we continue to ignore what is troubling us? What will the impact be on our selves, our relationship with loved ones, our jobs? How will we feel about the situation if we set the issue aside for another week, month or year?
I work together with you to:
I see clients for short term and long term work. Sessions are either in person or via Skype video calls. During sessions, we work together to address your concerns and how the issues can be solved, keeping your best interest in mind. Everyone has unique stories, with their own different ways of healing and personal growth. It is never possible to know how long it will take to work through an issue. Generally, for short term work, therapy can last from one to eight one-hour sessions. Throughout therapy I check with you to see if you are getting what you want from therapy, offer feedback, and address any worries you may have.
People come to couples counselling for different reasons. The communication between the couple have become negative, or one partner has had an affair. The couple may seem to have become more like roommates than a married couple, or they both do not know how to resolve their differences. Disappointment, anger and fear begin to replace initial hope.
During sessions I work with both partners:
The sooner issues between a couple are addressed, the easier they are to work out. The sessions are a safe space where both you and your partner are able to express your needs and feelings across to each other, without the fear of being attacked or criticized. An initial session will enable you and your partner to discover if couples counselling is a way forward for you.
The decision to start therapy can feel overwhelming. However, actively engaging with the counsellor on what we want from therapy and finding out more about therapy will help us feel at ease. Seeking professional help is a big step and can bring relief.

Military dog facility nears completion
He imagined military dogs leaping ladders and crawling through culverts. He thought about 50-foot-high lights illuminating the training ground for dogs who one day could help fight terrorists.
And he thought about how the $2.2 million facility soon will be ready - the first Reserve dog kennel in the country for all military branches.
"It's going to be a good deal," said Lukowski, a lieutenant colonel and construction and facilities manger for the state's Army National Guard .
The largely federally funded project is near completion. The military kennel will start housing dogs this spring. And the dogs will come from San Antonio, trained at the Lackland Air Force Base .
So far, one Guardsman has gone through the 13-week session, with two more signed up.
Eventually, the kennel will have six dogs, most likely German shepherds or Belgian malinois, along with six officers and a kennel master.
Each day, the dogs will work in a one-acre training field surrounded by fencing nine feet high. They'll leap and crawl through culverts, bridges and ladders.
Almost every day they'll sniff out drugs planted somewhere on the campus or 50 acres of adjacent state ground.
The state-owned space, which is located next to the Governor's Royal Horse Guard off Wasserman Way, allows plenty of room for officers to plant drugs for the dogs to find, said Sgt. 1st Class Marc Pucinski , the kennel master.
"I can't tell you how great it is to see how much land we can use," he said.
Explosive-finding dogs may eventually be housed at the site, too.
The dogs will regularly travel the state as military drug dogs, and if there is a federal disaster, such as a hurricane or terrorist attack, the dogs could possibly be called in to help, Pucinski said.
The Army National Guard first requested federal funding for the project in 2002. The Newtown property was a good spot because there was plenty of land and buildings. The project was granted $2.4 million in 2002, and the Army National Guard received the money the following year.
Ten kennels, complete with outside and inside sections, line two sections of the 10,000-square-foot building.
A pig barn from the 1930s was mostly torn down and renovated to build the kennel. It's now complete with a conference room, offices and a veterinarian's room.
The kennel is less than half a mile from Reed Intermediate School . But safety should not be a concern for the nearby students, Pucinski said.
The training field is surrounded by two layers fences, which includes a foot of barbed wire.
"The dogs are always under some type of control," he said. The dogs do not go unleashed (outside the fenced-in area)."
Instead, Pucinksi envisions giving students tours someday. He also expects the dogs could help Garner Correctional Facility, or maybe the Newtown Police Department in case of emergencies.
Regardless, the dogs will be safely used in town.
"It's not like we're going to take them to downtown Newtown and let them run around the park," he said.

The six-meter class, a group of one-design racers that compete to this day, attracted designers such as Herreshoff, Fife and Sparkman and Stephens. Known for their elegant lines and nimble performance, the six-meter design remains a popular racing yacht.
Although Jill is technically a "restoration," only the lead ballast remains from the original. The frames are steam-bent white oak, and the hull is double planked, with Alaskan yellow cedar on the inside and mahogany outside.
Since her construction, Jill has been campaigned in several races, with great success.

Though they don't come out until October, DC Comics have unveiled its monster variant covers, depicting its most iconic characters as monsters.
Variant comic book covers are special edition covers that feature unique artwork by artists who are sometimes tied together via a theme; sometimes the theme can be animals, or in this case, Halloween. These monster variant covers depict the Flash as a zombie, Superman as a werewolf, Batman as a vampire, and Sinestro as a demon. The covers let us see what our favorite heroes would look like as classic monster characters and offer a fun little way to get into the Halloween spirit.
You may be to old to trick or treat, but you're never to old to celebrate Halloween with these monster variant covers.

From Anisur Rahman
Dhaka, Nov 14 (PTI) Four-months after Bangladeshs worst terror attack on an upscale cafe here in the capitals diplomatic enclave, authorities have returned the eatery where 22 people, including an Indian girl, were killed during a bloody siege by Islamist militants.
Police handed over the Holey Artisan Bakery to the owner of the plot, Samira Ahmed, yesterday, following a court order, DMP Deputy Commissioner Masudur Rahman said.
Samiras husband along with his friends had started the Holey Artisan Bakery in 2014, bdnews24.com reported.
The cafe in Dhakas diplomatic district was popular with foreigners because of its food, lakeside view and sprawling grass-lawn.
The cafe was attacked by a group of militants on July 1, who took around 30 people, mostly foreigners, hostage in the cafe.
The militants killed 20 hostages, including 17 foreigners, before the army stormed the cafe early next morning, and killed five militants to free the remaining hostages.
Indian girl Tarishi, 18, who was among the hostages was also killed by the attackers.
Two police officers were also killed in the operation.
The police took control of the cafe to preserve the evidence in the aftermath of the attack.
Later, questions were raised over the illegal commercial use of the property.
Housing and Public Works Minister Mosharraf Hossain had warned that the owner of the cafe would have to face action for opening it illegally.
However, the owner later moved to the court for taking control of the plot and the court issued the order in her favour.
One of the owners of the eatery, however, said they were unlikely to reopen the cafe despite getting back the possession.
"The land has been handed back, but Holey Artisan Bakery will not be restored. We will use the house as a residence," he said. PTI AR SUA AKJ SUA

September 2009
The SABS Technical Committee (SC 59G) that has been deliberating on Energy Efficient Buildings for what seems like a decade now has finally released their proposed amendment to SANS 10400. The document is called SANS 10400 PART XA: ENERGY USAGE and has a closing date of 20th July 2010 for comments. It goes hand in hand with SAN204 which, rumour has it, will be release in a new one part format.
So for the moment SANS 10400-XA refers to the existing 3-part SAN 204. This makes for interesting reading? Our understanding was that Part XA would reference a new one part version of SANS 204 which would contain the actual performance data, yet we find a smattering of actual performance data ( R values for example ) in the SANS Document. SANS204 remains the deemed-to-satisfy requirement, but Part XA allows for buildings that can be shown by a "competent person" to use less energy than the specified baseline - both in terms of maximum energy demand and maximum annual consumption.
Other compliance paths require the use of "certified thermal calculation software" by these competent persons. Weather files for simulation will be provided by Agrément South Africa.
Let's all hope that there are no roadblocks. When all is said and done, we need this document to be passed - as the SANS people say "The public enquiry stage will be repeated if the technical committee agrees to significant technical changes to the document as a result of public comment. Less urgent technical comments will be considered at the time of the next amendment."
We need to accept this document (and even SANS 204) for what it is - a starting point. Refinement will come over the years - It took 35 years for ASHRAE 90.1 to get where it is.

Hello there. Well, I've been a bit anxious about today's post. No, it's not because I'm afraid you'll judge me and my denim vest. Rather, it's a bit more on the serious side today. I've been reading posts all week about "a blogger's place" when it comes to terrible real life situations, like the destruction in Japan. I've never thought that my "place" as a blogger was anything more than that. I have a responsibility to be corteous and caring to my fellow bloggers and to post honest content. I often try to keep this space an uplifting, fun one. Maybe that's silly of me, though. If my lack of mentioning Japan in my posts is indicative of my state of mind, then I should be mentioning it every day. The main thing I've had on my mind all week is Japan, as well as those who died in a terrifying bus crash on the side of a highway I drive nearly weekly. I was upset to hear that bloggers were being called out for a lack of action. But, a lack of action does not mean a lack of thought, or a lack of care. Like I said before, I try to keep my blog from being too personal, because when I go "too far," I get worried that I'm upsetting people or making them uncomfortable. And there was no impersonal way for me to talk about the tragedies I've had on my mind all week.
I've decided, though, that I have a voice, so I should use it. I have a blog, so I should express myself through it. I'm not going to tell you that you all should donate money to the Red Cross. But I am going to say that a kind thought can do wonders. The morning I learned about the earthquake, I thought to myself, well, it would be such a comfort to know people across the world were thinking and worrying about me, and my well being. You're all wonderful people, so I'm sure you've all done this already. Honestly, though, this is not me trying to nag anybody to do anything. It is, like all of my posts, an attempt to work through my feelings and thoughts. I have a hard time detaching myself. I know it's not good to be consumed with sadness over everything that's going on in the world, but this week, it's been so difficult not to. And if I stop feeling upset, I feel guilty. About how good my life is, about how many things are going wrong to people more deserving of good than I am. So, I thank you for bearing with me as I try to write out my feelings, and I hope this comes across as more than a jumbled mess.

"Dawn is approaching and the demons finally let you sleep. A lot is happening, I know. That's why I catch myself watching over you. When you toss about or start panicking, I put my hand on you and whisper little things to let you know I'm here.
Why do I do it? Because I've been there. I, too, have cried my pain out, pleaded to heaven and hell for an answer that makes sense, and laid there trapped… with no idea how to get up. For you, I will not let it hurt you the way it did me.
You can't see me and I doubt you ever will. You feel alone but you're not.
So, you want to see me? I'd love to see you. The only way this can happen is for you to close your eyes.
Feel the warmth emanating from your back? That's me hugging you from behind. Do you feel a sense of calm that you can't explain? That's me letting you know, "It's going to be Okay".
Did you see me?! For a brief moment, I saw you look right at me! But you looked away…like you always do. I won't hold it against you, it took me time too".
The person I wrote about was You. Until we open ourselves up, to "US"… we won't ever find hope or peace.
This was written during a tough time (go figure right?). Either way, I found it to be pretty special to me.
So to you reading, I give it to you. It's not much, but I hope that it helps you….whatever it is you're going through.

Congratulations NCAA. Because of your dim-witted idea to push the national championship game back to January 7th, there is no buzz for the game tonight. Maybe if you had kept this game before the NFL Playoffs started, more people would be excited. Or maybe if you had the winner of this game play the winner of a USC-UGA matchup, people would be anticiping some actual finalilty to this amazing college football season. Instead, everyone seems more excited about night 2 of American Gladiators than the BCS Championship. At GDB, we feel its our responsibility to infuse this rather dull climax to the college season with the one thing guaranteed to add excitement....BREW!!! So without further adieu, here is your BCS Championship Drinking Game.
-Take 1 sip for each time Fox Cameras show either the LSU or OSU band during the game
-Take 5 sips for the first time the "BCS Controversy" is mentioned, and 2 sips every additional time it is brought up
-Take 2 sips for every highlight shown from last years championship in which OSU got dismantled
-Take 1 sip every time an announcer says "speed"
-Take 1 sip every time someone says the word "disrespected"
-Finish your beer if Jim Tressel is wearing a sweater vest
-Finish your beer if Les Miles messes with his hat during the game
-Pour out some beer each time Fox mentions how New Orleans is doing a great job of "Rebuilding the City" - (I had friends down in NO for the Sugar Bowl, and they drove through neighborhoods where people are living in tents, more than 2 years after Katrina)
-Throw a beer in the general direction of whatever announcer suggests that USC deserves consideration for number 1
-Take a sip each time a LSU player outruns a OSU player
-Take 5 sips every time an OSU play outruns a LSU player
-Finish your beer every time Thom Brennaman goes off on an meaningless rant about something wrong with college football during the game
If you follow these rules, you will either be so drunk or so angry by the end of the game that you will miss the shitty camera work of Fox, the promos for the awful new Fox TV shows coming soon, or the mangling of the english language by the worst host in the history of sports, Chris Rose.
And if you decide to switch over to American Gladiators instead but still want to drink, just take a sip each time Hulk Hogan says brother. Enjoy the game!!

Chew and Revival to Cross Over
Cross-overs are such a fun idea in comics. Unfortunately they don't happen nearly as often as they used to or should. John Layman, Rob Guillory, Tim Seeley, and Mike Norton are setting out to change that in the upcoming Chew / Revival #1, a two issue series from Image Comics.
Chew by John Layman and Rob Guillory centers on Tony Chu, a cibopath (someone who can see the history of something by eating it) working for the FDA in a world where chickens are outlawed. Revival is a rural noir by Tim Seeley and Mike Norton about a small town in Wisconsin where the dead came back to life and went back to their business. Tony Chu goes in to investigate the town. That's the setup and it makes total sense.
The cross-over was teased a few days ago with the title "A recipe for resurrection" and the above image. Fans of both series could see where this would lead to.
"In my head I've got a checklist of all my favorite books I want Chew to crossover with, if for no other reason than it gives me an opportunity to visit a world that isn't mine, that I'd nonetheless like to play in," said Layman. "Revival is a the top of the list, and I'm stoked I've got the opportunity to send Tony Chu to visit. It's a fun opportunity to check out both books for less than a single issue of each."
|Click images to enlarge
"When John [Layman] proposed the idea, I told Tim [Seeley], 'no way. That will never work,'" admitted Norton. "After a while I thought about it and went back to Tim and said, 'yeah, no way, that will never work!' But then, I thought even more on it. I think the way we're doing it is reminiscent of when indie books of the '80s would cross companies and appear in each book even though you'd never expect those universes to collide. It's just a matter of loosening up and having some fun."
Seeley added, "Chew showed us all that there was a place for quality off-kilter series, and we're excited to have the cast of our 'rural noir' meet up with America's favorite cibopath. I think we've figured out a great way to take advantage of the 'WHAT THE HELL' factor of crossing over two very different worlds that'll make for a great read."
"Honestly, even I was shocked how well the two titles gelled together," said Guillory. "It's a really, really fun experiment that will surprise fans of both books, I think."
Chew/Revival #1 will be available at your local comic shop and digitally on May 28th, 2014. It will retail for $4.99.

It seems like just yesterday that Ubuntu Linux 10.04 was released, but here we are and Ubuntu 10.10 has just been released. Wow! How time flies!
There has been some controversy over this release, with some folks saying that Canonical's six-month release cycle is too often and that there aren't enough things in this release to warrant an upgrade.
I politely disagree with that assessment, and I'll show you why in this review. Ubuntu 10.10 is a worthwhile though not overwhelmingly impressive release; it's worth considering as an upgrade if you are already running an earlier version of Ubuntu. It's also certainly worth looking at if you are new to Ubuntu and are thinking about using it as your desktop operating system.
What's New In This Release
Here's a sample of the new features in this release:
The GNOME base platform has been updated to the current 2.32 versions. This particularly includes the new dconf and gsettings API.
Evolution was updated to the 2.30 version, which operates much faster compared to the version in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
The Sound Indicator has been enhanced to include music player controls.
The boot process is cleaner and faster.
New themes, new icons, and new wallpaper bring a dramatically updated look and feel to Ubuntu.
Shotwell has replaced F-Spot as the default photo manager.
Gwibber has been updated to support the recent change in Twitter's authentication system, as well as changing the back end storage to improve performance.
The Sound Indicator has been enhanced to include music player controls.
The Ubuntu Software Center has an updated look and feel, including the new "Featured" and "What's New" views for showcasing applications, an improved package description view, and a "For Purchase" software category has been added. You can also now easily access your package installation history too.
Ubuntu One: Polished desktop integration with new sign up and sign in process. Tighter integration with Ubuntu SSO. Nautilus enhancements for managing folder sync preferences. Faster file sync speed. Share links to music within the Ubuntu One Music Store.
I'm happy to see the update to GNOME 2.32. It goes beyond the scope of this review to delve into changes to GNOME in 2.32.
I'm glad that Gwibber has been changed to match Twitter's new authentication system. If you use Gwibber you shouldn't have a problem tweeting in this release.
The speed increase to Evolution is certainly a welcome development in this release of Ubuntu. These days I generally prefer webmail to local email, but I know a lot of people who still use Evolution. So it's good to see a significant performance increase available for Evolution users.
Shotwell is arguably better than F-Spot as a photo manager. I can't say that I'm wowed by either of them, but I don't do a lot with photos so that's probably why. I suspect we'll hear some moaning and groaning from F-Spot fans about this decision though. Not to worry, you can get F-Spot in the Ubuntu Software Center so it's still available.
This is just the basic overview,overall there are lot of changes have been done under the cover.

Hey Book Nerds! ^.^ How're you all doing? Are you enjoying the start of the week? I can't believe it's already the 1st of October. O_o It's so strange! I still need to film, upload and post my September 2013 Wrap-Up, so it's probably going to be a little late this month. ^^; Anyway, I'm back again this week to do another Top Ten Tuesday post, I think this week's topic is really interesting. :) I can't wait to see what some of the other bloggers find unappealing in books. I could only come up with 7 today, but I think that's still pretty good if you ask me. ;) Anyway, enjoy! :D
Top Ten Book Turn-Offs
1. Obsessive Use Of Slang
I don't know about any of you guys, but I find it extremely annoying when characters are constantly using slang words. Most of the time, even though I'm still young, I have no idea what they're talking about! Normal, correctly spelled and punctuated speech is better in my opinion.
2. Selfish Characters.
I don't think I even need to explain this one - selfish characters irritate me no end. I hate it when they will stop at nothing or hurt anyone to get what they think they deserve or want. You're not the centre of the universe, love! We can't always get what we want.
3. Animal Cruelty.
I have no problem what-so-ever with the author killing off characters, but when they start to kill off animals - it makes me bawl like a baby. I don't know what prompts people in real life to be cruel to animals; it's sick - so please don't write about it! Usually If there is a lot of this going on in a book, I put it down and don't want to finish it.
4. Insta-Love.
I don't believe people can fall in love at first sight. Of course you can have a crush on someone when you first see them, but love needs time to grow and develop - so I always find it a turn-off when the characters in books fall in love with a guy/girl they've just met. It's just not realistic!
5. Cheating.
Another one I don't feel the need to explain much. If you're with someone, why on earth do you feel the need to cheat? If you don't want to be with that person and what to be with another - TELL THEM! I just hate cheaters in general, as well as in books. I try my best to steer clear of books that contain anyone like this.
6. Love Triangles.
Some particular love triangles are okay, I'll grant you that. However most of the ones I read about are particularly annoying - especially when the main character is messing both of the characters around because she 'can't decide'. Just CHOOSE for gods sake!
7. Obsessive/Controlling Partner
Ugh. I just HATE it when a character, usually the boyfriend, is so controlling and obsessive over the protagonist! I find it so annoying to read about the boyfriends who never let their girlfriend talk to other guys, or ALWAYS has to be with her, even when she's around her friends. It's irritating and I don't like reading about it!
What are your Top Ten Book Turn-Offs? Leave me a comment or a link to your blog post and I'll be sure to check it out! ^.^ Happy reading! (:

What We All Desire In Life
Every single person on this planet shares the same desire… Happiness! It is how we imagine our happiness that differs from one person to the next. So what is the key to happiness? Today I would like to share three of the things that I have discovered that have brought me the gift of happiness and revolutionized my personality. 1. Appreciate everything and express gratitude. To live gratefully you simply need to become aware that every single moment is a GIVEN MOMENT. You have not earned it or brought it about in any way, and cannot assure that there will be… Read more.

Hat with five colours - Tunisian crochet
4 kommentarer:
Fin mössa du gjort väldigt spralliga färger!SvaraRadera
flitig som en myra är du och tjusigt blir det å!SvaraRadera
your crochet is wonderful, i've for awhile wanted to learn the tunisian method.. do you know of any good resources in english or french?SvaraRadera
i also wanted to ask about your cast on, do you use a special one for your mittens, it does not look like it, yet your edges don't curl without ribbing. maybe this principle is different in twined knitting?
Thank you for your kind commentSvaraRadera
Resources for tunisian crochet: go to youtube.com and search for "tunisian crochet" and you will find a lot of interesting clips.
As for edges that do not curl I often use a cast-on for twined knitting (one of the most common is shown here http://vimeo.com/18361296)after that (I knit in twined knitting) alternate rows in purl and knit a couple of times - that makes for an edge that does not curl.

Houses built out of repurposed shipping containers are quite controversial. Some love them and some hate them and there are some valid points on each side. But we're not getting into all of that now. What we have in mind has to do with a single house.
This is the RDP House, a residence situated in Pichincha, Ecuador. It was built here by architect duo Moreno Flores and Sebastian Calero. They worked together and used their experience with giving new meaning to basic elements and employing reclaimed and reusable materials in order to simplify the construction process and to make each project unique.
The client wanted this to be a very simple house that focuses on functionality. It also needed to be a dismantable house that the client could break into modules and transport to a different location if necessary.
The architects decided to use shipping containers, their decision being inspired by the client's lifestyle and personal preferences and history. Such a design allowed for a deep understanding of all the pieces and a lot of flexibility in terms of layout and overall structure.
In total, seven containers measuring 20 ft and one measuring 40 ft were used for this project. The construction phase was organized into four phases. First the architects decided on the placement of each container based on the conditions on the site.
The bedroom is one of the most beautiful spaces. It has huge windows and a panoramic view of the surroundings. The furniture is simple and the emphasis is placed on the views and the authenticity of the materials.

by thefourthman » Fri Jan 01, 2010 5:52 pmI will have to check that out. I love Atomic Robo. I will say that the art doesn't really appeal to me, although a story can overcome the art, if it is good enough.
I am a couple months into Girl Genius right now and I am enjoying it. girlgeniusonline.com. It is still heavy exposition where I am at, but it is lots of fun and the interface while clunky, is simple and really effective.

It's taking the week off.
by mrorangesoda » Sat Jan 02, 2010 12:23 amI want to hop in and write a brief review* Mocktopus Comics by Max Huffman-
Max Huffman is a 15 year old kid in High School that makes roughly two web comics a week. I found out about the site through the Let's Be Friends Again guys (he did a fill in for them this week) and Chris Sims on twitter.
Here's the site: http://www.mocktopus.com/
and a sample:
I like these comics. I like them a lot. In tone and temperment, they remind me a lot of the comics I read online when I first got the internet (mainly PLIF), largely due to a sense that anything can end up in one of the comics (all of the other web comics I read are pretty well established at this point and I generally know what to expect when I go there). The characters that are recurring are funny enough to keep me interested.
The art isn't amazing to look at, but he tells a (3 panel) story well enough with it.
I'm still amazed he's 15. It's like if Twigglet turned all his adolescent hormones away from loving Bendis and towards making comics...
The site generally updates Tuesdays and Thursdays. Check it out.
*It's not a real review though. Mostly a plug and a bad joke at Twigglet's expense.
by mrorangesoda » Sat Jan 02, 2010 12:25 am
This comic kicks ass. I believe there's at least one collection out if you didn't want to scroll through archives.
by thefourthman » Sat Jan 02, 2010 9:38 am
by thefourthman » Sat Jan 02, 2010 9:40 amI guess that Mocktopus comic is good for a fifteen year old, but I don't get it and it seems like it wouldn't be my thing. The art is not bad though, for the kids age... he could easily grow up to be the next Jamie Smart or Jeff Lemire for all we know.
by Old Man » Sat Jan 02, 2010 10:45 am
Thus good for Twigglet?
by mrorangesoda » Sat Jan 02, 2010 10:52 am
I get that. He makes me laugh. He did the most recent Let's be friends again- which I think is a funny two panel gag.
by thefourthman » Sat Jan 02, 2010 10:56 am
I don't get that either. I think I am missing context on both.
by mrorangesoda » Sat Jan 02, 2010 11:00 am
by thefourthman » Sat Jan 02, 2010 11:36 amAnyhow, I love a challenge and Amlah's idea of doing one a day for the week seems awesome to me. So I posted two old ones while I figured out what to do the rest of the time. I am reading Girl Genius currently cause it won the BF award for best webcomic, but that is a lot of stuff to get through and I will probably not make it by the end of the week. (In other words, expect me to revive this particular thread from time to time.)
While I read that one, I don't want to get all behind in the daily review thing and this next choice will lead directly into the choice after that ... hell before it is all said and done, I might take a look at all the ones in the op.
Anyhow, my next pick will be the current "issue of Dark Horse Presents"... but before I get to that, I figured why not take a look at the 2008 Eisner winner for best Webcomic, a little thing that started in DHP's first issue way back in August of 2007...
Sugar Shock
Written by Joss Whedon
Illustrated by Fabio Moon
I am hella late to the whole Joss Whedon band wagon. I am an episode or two shy of finishing Buffy Season 2. I have never seen the movie and Firefly has not even had a viewing yet. Astonishing X-Men had an amazing first arc, a not so amazing second arc and then the second half of the Whedon issues fell flat on me, but I hate mutants, so it might just be me. His Runaways was voiced all wrong and plagued by delays that made it all jibberish by the end. It wasn't bad, just wrong.
So now I come to something with no real preconceived notions. Sugar Shock is the story of Dandelion and her band who quite bizzarely get sent to another planet to save the universe, I think?
It is manic fun, chaotic and energetic. It is easy to see why little girls like my daughter, Amlah and McKegan identify with the characters he writes. Dandelion never shuts up and as a result it is not always coherent, but the ideas are big and fun. Imagine if Umbrella Academy formed a band and went on space adventures together. Or maybe if Umbrella Academy and Young Liars fused into one conglomerate of insanity and you might actually be closer. It is an interesting and inventive book if not overly original or even expertly assembled.
I am guessing that charm Dandelion exudes despite her obnoxiousness is part of what draws people to Whedon. Even early on, Buffy and her friends are as obnoxious as the cool kids they want to be different from. That is clearly on display here, while the band can find fault with her, they also love her, despite her flaws. This and a few twists make this a great read, but also make one wonder what is going on with the Eisner voters. Sometimes, I think it is just a recognition thing. laziness ensues. Oh, Whedon wrote this is must be good... cause everyone loves all that other stuff he does.
Moon is amazing. His brother and that whole group are amazing. In fact, it may be the designs and Moon's ability to bring Whedon's insane ramblings together that got this one a Eisner and not some payola apathy machine. His designs are clever, breath taking in their fluidity, and fun. His art does more than match Whedon's writing, it elevates it making Sugar Shock an unbalanced piece instead of the breath taking brilliant statement one would expect when the words "Eisner Award Winner" are on the cover.
It's worth checking out, certainly there are worse ways to spend $3.50 if you by the recent "collection" from Dark Horse as part of the one shot program and judging from Dark Horse's talent roster and publication history, free is definitely worth the time to click around over at myspace.
Story 5
Art 9
Overall 7
by thefourthman » Sat Jan 02, 2010 11:38 am
It's not the comic reference, I don't have a context for the other characters. It plays as meaningless homage instead of funny gag because other than Batman, I don't know who anyone in those two panels are or what their motivations are.
by thefourthman » Sat Jan 02, 2010 11:52 amMorgan's review of Sugar Shock (I handed it to her after I finished reading it)
by Punchy » Sat Jan 02, 2010 1:24 pmSugar Shock is everything that's wrong with Joss Whedon, it was fucking shit.
Moon was wasted.

While nobody wishes for volcanic eruptions, due to the obvious destructive capabilities they present, they are at the same time awesome events to behold (particularly for those of us not in harm's way).
Reality is reality, though. I suppose it is always possible that scientists are mistaken about the imminence of a volcanic eruption, but all indications are that the 10,200 Redoubt Volcano, about 100 miles southwest of Anchorage, is on the verge of eruption.
From the story I linked to:
On Nov. 5, geologists noted changed emissions and minor melting near the Redoubt summit and raised the threat level from green to yellow. It jumped to orange – the stage just before eruption – on Sunday in response to a sharp increase in earthquake activity below the volcano.
Alaska's volcanoes are not like Hawaii's. "Most of them don't put out the red river of lava," said the observatory's John Power.
Instead, they typically explode and shoot ash 30,000 to 50,000 feet high – more than nine miles – into the jet stream.
From the L.A. Times we get a picture of the last eruption, in 1989.
It would not be a pleasant period in Anchorage if Redoubt were to blow its top, if its previous eruption is any indication.
For five months beginning in December 1989, smoke and ash from the 10,197-foot peak disrupted international air traffic and deposited volcanic dust throughout the Anchorage region.
Now, as this applies to climate, we can already prepare ourselves for the response to probable continued cooling in 2009: "Well, of course it cooled. That volcano over in Alaska erupted. It's all that Palin gal's fault, you know."
Now, far be it from me to suggest that introducing megatons of ash into the air won't have a cooling impact on the climate. It absolutely does, to one degree or another (catch the pun? Ha! I slay myself…), depending on the amount of ash, its composition, how high and persistent it is in the jet stream, yada yada. So my contention is not that such an event won't contribute to cooling. My issue will be – as I predict will happen – that this will be a psychologically welcome event by AGW supporters so they have a convenient scapegoat for ALL cooling that ensues for the next year after this eruption.
But that's conjecture. We shall see. Until then, here's hoping and praying for the safety of our friends in the great state of Alaska. By the way, I like your guys' quarter.

The night before
Well, tomorrow is the day we have been waiting for. It's been a long long week. I've felt so helpless, just waiting. I've been trying to find God in all this, I have to admit I haven't had much success, but we've been praying, a lot. He just doesn't feel close.
I think regardless of the outcome I'm ready to deal with it. I'm so tired of waiting. Guess I don't have much for patience.
Praying, wishing, hoping, longing, crying for a heartbeat. Lord, please hear my cry!!

Let's start with a positive note, I had a really nice evening out fri and sat. Was starting to feel slightly human again. Today I came down with Payton's cold with a vengeance, no wonder she's been miserable.
Dad was in the hospital again. Last week for 4 days. He didn't tell me as he didn't want me at the hospital. There were infectious disease controls going on, it was probably for the better, last week I don't think I would have handled it very well. Do you remember me saying I didn't think he should be going home so soon? I was right. When he went back to the hospital days after they released him from Langly they still found morphine and valium in his system. Essentially when they released him he was very very drugged. When he added some alcohol to the mix(to escape the detox) his system didn't handle it well. They cleaned him out very thoroughly this time. Also I was concerned about his mental state this time, he was hostile, and delusional. His Dr, got a specialist to see him and they ran some tests and found he has some swelling on one part of his brain. They are going to drill a hole in his head to release the pressure, nice hey.
Anyways between this, everything else, and now having Payton's cold, I'm feeling pretty crappy. I keep thinking that this isn't real, it's all a morbid daydream that I just need to snap out of.

So I feel a little calmer today. Not so angry, but it comes and goes. I've grabbed ahold of a wait and see mentality and am trying not to stress prematurely, as much as I can help anyways.
Nights have been hard, sleep has been scarce. We are all tired around here. Rod is home today!! YEAH!! I haven't seen him to much this week. I hope Payton is feeling better soon and will decide again that her bed is a good friendly place to sleep. Our bed may be queen sized but with the 3 of us it's just full.
It looks like we will be going in to see the Dr. on Tues. I believe that will include an ultrasound. Then we will go from there.
I thought I had more to say, apparently not. I'll keep everyone updated.

This week sucks.
I can't wait till it's over. There is a good chance though that next week will suck too. (((Sigh))) Payton was up most of last night coughing, congested, and with a fever. She finally landed in bed with me which is where she stayed until this morning. When Payton woke me I opened my eyes only to discover spots, yup, a migraine coming on. Rod had gotten home at 3am(ish) but got up with Payton so I could try to sleep it off, which is really the only thing that helps. A couple of hours later and I'm improved enough to get up and let Rod go back to bed. ARGH!! What a stinking morning!!
I need to shower, I need to clean, I need to do laundry. I have no motivation. What I really want to do is go to bed and stay there. Unfortunately my life is not conducive to laying about. Shoot.

Hear my cry O God; listen to my prayer. From the ends of the earth, I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint.... Psalm 61:1-2(NIV)
Posted by Michelle at 11:53 pm 0 comments Links to this post
Just needed to vent
So I'm up. I should be sleeping, I'm exhausted, mentally and physically drained. Rod's working a few night shifts this week, which is great because he's here to help during the day. But now, when it's dark and quiet I wish he was home. I guess you really can't have your cake and eat it too.
I feel lost, it's the not knowing. I don't know if I should be grieving or rejoicing, hoping or bracing myself. The reality is a little bit of everything is going on creating one of the biggest messes of a brain I've ever witnessed. I pray, but I can't seem to form the words, I cry and hope that God understands. I hope he can see through the blame and the fear that I've been lashing out at him. People say that some day I'll understand that everything has a reason that it's all Gods plan. And although the little bit of rationality I have remaining wants to believe this the rest of me just doesn't care. I just want to hold my baby.
Does it sound like I've given up hope? Nope, I can't, it's not in me to let go. Not yet at least. But hoping hurts so bad. I've tried to convince myself that it's over, that this baby is no longer living so that if we get bad news I'm prepared. But I can't put out the spark, that little ray of hope shines on. My baby is saying don't give up on me yet, and I won't. Mistakes can be made and miracles do happen. So I plod along moment by moment, put on a brave face and go about my day as so many have done before me. It just stinks that's all.

No real news for you. We decided to wait a week before getting another Ultrasound. If they found no heartbeat again I just wouldn't be ready to make any decisions yet. If there is no change after a week I will be more reassured that nothing is going to change. I know that I shouldn't hang on to hope, as they were very thorough at my appointment and there was very clearly no heartbeat but I can't help myself. Emotionally I can't help but feel a little "what if?" hope. Most information I have found is not good for us, but I have read one story and talked with another person who both had no heartbeat with Ultrasound at a later date than me then went on to have one a week or two later. I know rationally it's very unlikely but as I do believe in miracles I am waiting and praying. Rod talked to the OB-GYN this morning, I didn't feel up to it. He understands us wanting to wait a week and I am supposed to call him to set up an appointment I just can't bring myself to do it.
I can't believe how many people have been through this, I thank you all for your support. I'm sorry I have been avoiding phone calls I just haven't been up to talking. I know I will have to eventually, just not yet. Thanks again.

Sad News
I had my Ultrasound. The baby measured 9 weeks but had no heartbeat. By then there should be one easily seen. I am destroyed.
Rod's boss has set us up an appointment with his brother who happens to be an OB-GYN apparently one of the best in B.C, for tomorrow. We will have another Ultrasound, just for confirmation, and to discuss our options if it is in fact(which is probable) that we've lost the baby.
Please Pray.

And I thought I was tired last time!
It's been awhile since I've posted, and even longer since I posted anything of substance. And for a change it's not because I haven't had anything to say rather I've had to much to say. I'm not sure if that makes any sense but it does to me.
By now I'm guessing everybody knows we're expecting!!! If not, you do now!!! We are due in Sept sometime. I'm actually "on call" for a dating ultrasound because my cycles are so irregular my midwife wants to have a better idea of how far along I am so they know(sort of) when to expect things. I am so excited!! I didn't expect to have an early ultrasound this time because everything has been going fine. With Payton I had an early us because of cramping and bleeding, as scary as that was I was glad to be able to see that everything was progressing normally. I am a little nervous though that everything won't be fine because this pregnancy has been so different than the last one. But from what I hear that's normal. Variations of normal, very confusing.
I've been a bit of a basket case recently, I guess the combination of everything that has been going on and pregnancy hormone hasn't been agreeing with me. Tired, emotional, stressed, overwhelmed, worried, the list goes on. I was looking at myself in the mirror this morning and thought, girl, you look exactly like you feel. It wasn't pretty. I look so worn out and old. My energy level continues to drop and the number of things that need doing continues to rise. I can't believe the state of my house, and yet, what did I do today? Spent most of the day in bed!! Wow, listen to me whine!! I think I'll stop complaining and go clean my kitchen!!

Our computer(well not ours but the one we've been using) is not working again. It's been out of commision for a couple days. So if I havn't been emailing it's because I've had to sneak on someone elses's computer to check email ect, and havn't been able to find much time to do that.
I wanted to thank everyone who has been praying for me and my dad. He's home now and doing much better. He really gave me a scare this time because his mental state was really weird. The Dr. said that over time of continuous abuse that your brain can't take as much abuse anymore and that mental instability becomes much worse. This is new for Dad and scares me. I hope and pray so desperately that he will be able to beat this and continue to be around more many years. Thanks again for everyone's support. Sat night and sun were very stressful and I could feel your prayers and they helped me get through.
I hope everyone is having a wonderful valentines day. I had some beautiful flowers delivered from my sweetheart today!! Lucky me!!

Armed and ready( a sleep update)
After the previous nights sleep I went into bedtime last night, armed and ready, this was war(yeah I guess I'm a little possessive about the little sleep I do usually get). Before bed I gave Payton some decongestant, raised the head of her mattress a little, and put the humidifier(with vicks) on in her room. She still had a hard time settling but once she was down the night went MUCH better. Thank goodness!! I got a six hour stint!! YES YES YES!!
Thanks to all of you who were thinking and praying for us, keep it up!! It helped!!

So did you miss me?
You probably didn't even notice I was gone considering I haven't been posting much lately!! We had no computer for 2 days. It felt so weird not being able to check my email and check up on all you fellow bloggers. Rod fixed us up last night and it looks like everything is running smoothly.
Payton has a cold and it's been making her miserable!! Even worse than that is it's keeping her from sleeping. She's congested and coughing, she must have been up every 30min last night, eventually Rod just plunked her in bed with us out of pure desperation and an attempt to get more than 30min in a row. Then she woke up when he got up and refused to go back down so we've been up since 6:30. Needless to say I am exhausted!! Remember life before kids? When 6-8hrs sleep in a row was a SHORT nights sleep!! My goodness how times have changed!! So when Payton goes down for her nap(or should I say if), my debate is should I sneak some more sleep or have a shower....decisions decisions.....

After much dilly dallying, Tamil Nadu has made helmets compulsory for both the two wheeler driver and the pillion rider. This is a no brainer really. Study after study has proven that helmets save lives. But what is common sense has not been common practice. Most common reasons cited for not wearing helmets are inconvenience, hair loss etc., But then, if the head will not survive in an accident where is the question of hair?
I have long advocated (2) for tougher helmet laws in Chennai. But, I am also skeptical as to how this law will be enforced. Will the police use this new law as another extortion avenue or genuinely enforce the new helmet rule and save lives?
ps: I don't think the order on helmets is in force yet. Not sure what's is the hold up..

About a year ago I was having a conversation with a good friend about her doctoral dissertation. She was having challenges with the writing process. However, when I began to ask her questions about her research, she was able to talk it through clearly and at length. She knew her topic well and was very enthusiastic about it. I suggested that she take out her iPhone, record our conversation, and use it as a springboard to jump-start the writing process. She found this extremely helpful during the writing up phase of her doctoral journey, as our talking sessions were beneficial in helping to strengthen her arguments and clarify her ideas.
I am sure there are many other students who find it useful to verbalize their ideas before writing them down. Others who find writing challenging, in particular those with dyslexia, may prefer to dictate streams of thoughts or even entire essays. Speech to text software is invaluable for this process. In addition, text to speech, the converse of speech to text, can be used to play back the text that was dictated. The two together can aid in further thought and revision of work.
Most newer Macs and PCs are equipped with built-in speech to text tools which are easily enabled. To learn how to activate this on a Mac, see Apple Support. The accuracy is not perfect but pretty good for a built-in tool. To activate the tool in Windows, see Office Support.
Another really nice benefit of using speech to text tools is that you don't have to be chained to a desk to work. As students, we spend a lot of time sitting at a desk and are often torn between remaining stationary and continuing to work or taking some time for much needed exercise. Exercise can help stimulate your thinking, so instead of neglecting it, go for a brisk walk and take your mobile phone. While you're walking and taking some time to smell the flowers, you can dictate your thoughts and ideas as they come to you, using the dictation feature and the built-in notes app on your phone. On the iPhone, do make sure Siri is activated by going to "setting," "general," "Siri" and toggle to the right to enable the feature. Also, make sure that when you are ready to dictate, you have access to wifi or a 3G connection. Simply click on the microphone at the bottom left corner of the screen keyboard and start dictating. Your words will appear in the notes app and you can sync those notes with a Mac computer or email them to yourself.
I have used the built-in options on my iPhone and have been pleased with the results. However, you may want to check out the app store to learn about a variety of alternative dictation and notes apps. If you are a student with learning difficulties or other disabilities, do check with the Disability Office at your university as you may be eligible for the Student Disability Allowance (DSA) which may allow you to purchase more advanced tools based on your needs.

A Letter To Myself....Get Over It.
Congratulations. You've done it again. Do you not realize, after 32 ½ years, that procrastination is NOT your friend? Why do you do it? Stop setting expectations, stop making promises. Do NOT obligate yourself to anyone or anything. You should know by now. If you have no one and nothing to answer for….then you can't let anyone down.
Really? No. I don't think it's that simple. You see, you're neurotic. Always have been, always will be. It's YOU. You're the one who's up and down, all over the place, and back again. YOU keep letting YOURSELF down. Can't escape those awful demons. Can't hide from the not-so-impressed-face in the mirror.
What's a girl to do? What do YOU do?
Well, for starters; GET OVER YOURSELF. So you've got issues, big deal. Everybody does. Put on your big girl panties and take control.
Stop waiting for other people to make you happy. Stop depending on other people to "come around". Stop giving others the benefit of the doubt when they clearly don't deserve it.
Stop letting other people and their ridiculously inconsistent relationships with you, determine how YOU feel and how YOU cope. Stop it and get over it.
So you don't like cold weather? Boo-hoo. Spring will come, it always does. Get over it.
So you prayed to the Sun for warmth, but instead woke up to 4+ feet of SNOW? You can't control this. Get over it.
So you might want to go back to work? Then get off your butt and apply for a job. Get over it.
But wait a minute, maybe you want to have another baby…..hmmmm. What exactly does THAT mean? You do love being home with your kids. Being a mom has been the greatest thing that's ever happened to you.
C'mon Wishy-Washy, do you really want to have another baby, or are you just balking at the idea of really moving on to the next phase of your existence? Figure it out. Get over it.
So your hormones are surging, your body is changing, and your kids are growing. You've got a good life, yet you don't understand it. You want to feel fulfilled, yet you're constantly searching. You don't know where to start, you don't see the finish line, and you're feeling too overwhelmed to begin the journey.
WHAT journey? What ARE you talking about, and WHAT do you mean?
I've got news for you. If you're looking for control, a sense of self-worth, a feeling of accomplishment…… you won't find it here. See, I think you're still looking for excuses; a reason to continue your self-pity party, a chance to wallow in your sorrow just a little longer.
Not here, get over it.
You started this experiment. It was YOUR idea. You said you wanted to improve your relationship and YOURSELF. It must be working, otherwise it wouldn't be this hard.
You ALWAYS quit. Don't do it now. Get over it.
And don't you dare get mad at your husband for pushing you to continue. He wants to do this. He wants to do this with YOU. Consider yourself lucky, and get back to work.
Therapy, you ask? Yes, you skipped your session….AGAIN. Yes, you were terribly mean, sarcastic, and cruel when he tried to hold you accountable. Yeah, you suck.
Are there people out there waiting for your next post? Do they expect you to write every week? You did make that promise. A couple times actually. Do they care? I don't know. Do YOU care? They're waiting for a weekly post…… yeah, SO AM I.
Does this make any sense? I don't think so. Will this help? Probably not. Do you care enough to do the necessary work to change? We'll see.
Go ahead and type it. Say "until next time"……. You always do. But do you really know that time will come?
Get off your butt and get to work. Stop rambling, stop wallowing, stop trying to run away. Do it now. If you don't, your readers (whoever, wherever, and however dedicated they may be), will surely be the next to say…… GET OVER IT.
Don't bother signing. I know who you are. We all know you've spent a lifetime trying to avoid ME. But YOU didn't quit. YOU wouldn't let me escape. Good or bad, we're in this thing together. Understand this or not, it is what it is. And right now all that means is this: Until next time…………………….

Surgical treatment in critical limb ischaemia
© Roscitano and Cotroneo; licensee BioMed Central Ltd. 2010
- Published: 19 May 2010
- Public Health
- Mortality Rate
- Ischemia
- Bypass Graft
- Clinical Guideline
Recommendations of clinical guidelines for the treatment of critical limb ischemia (CLI) are based on randomized controlled trials [1]. Surgery using different grafts (venous or prosthetic) is in competition with percutaneous angioplasty. Progress of endoluminal techniques has brought certain authors to think that angioplasty is now the first treatment of critical limb ischemia [2].
Materials and methods
The indications of TASC II are: endovascular for type A, endovascular (with qualifications) for type B, open surgical (with qualifications) for type C, and open surgical for type D. [3].
Our experience, from 2000 to 2009, is of 377 patients (250 m - 127 f.). We perform distal revascularizations (tibial, peroneal and plantar) with great, small saphen vein and veins of the arm on 407 limbs. Mean age: 72 y. (19-25). Our patients had as risk factors: IDDM 66%, CAD 47%, CABG 8%, COPD 70%, ESRD 20% and 9,5% were in dialytic treatment.
We have a 30 day mortality rate of 2.7%, graft occlusion 9% and amputation 2.6%. Comparing our results to those of the literature for venous or prosthetic bypasses and distal angioplasties, we remain convinced of the high efficiency, in the long run, of infra-popliteal venous bypass grafts. Meanwhile, recent data on distal angioplasties are promising and in constant progress. [2].

Better Late Than Never
Alright. Let's see here. Wikipedia......yeerrs....search for 'Blogging'....ah, here we are :-
"A blog (a blend of the term web log)[1] is a personal journal published on the World Wide Web consisting of discrete entries ("posts") typically displayed in reverse chronological order so the most recent post appears first."
Well, now, this sounds like fun! I mean who among my esteemed friends, colleagues, acquaintances and other noteable worthies would not want to read my personal views and rants (the latter being more likely) on the world?........Yes, you're probably right. So, I guess this is just for me; a therapeutic and rather convenient way to express my many opinions, erroneous and otherwise, to a vast and largely un-interested Internet population. But just in case.......
Most, if not all Bloggers will begin with carefully veiled hopes to become sensations of the World Wide Web. I am no different. I secretly believe that my ramblings here will result in fame, fortune, fast cars and hopefully a new keyboard on which the space bar does not stick. However, in the meantime I am content to simply place virtual quill to virtual parchment on the topics that interest me, and perhaps you as well.
To those I bore utterly, you have my sincere apologies. To those I interest ever-so-slightly, thanks for reading.
Just a small Human in a big Universe,

How to make yourself presentable, or better yet, to have that professional look?
If you have to leave the house at 6.45am, you only wake up at 5.30am, how la to make up?
True indeed, ladies who want that boost of mood, as well as confidence at work should definitely take those few minutes every day to perk up.
In my line of work, simple makeup is necessary, kau taknak la student kau lari bila tgk dirimu yang macam mak lampir, kannn?
Take a look at these three makeup looks below.
The Simple Nude
Simplicity at work but still wants to have that fresh appearance, the simple nude no makeup look will be awesome. Swipe a nude shade of lipstick on and put just a slight hint of blush, you are set to go! I would like to call this type of makeup as "feeling muda remaja yaww!"
Girly Pink
For the ladies who want to flaunt a feminine appearance at work, any pink lipstick shade will be the versatile choice. Flaunt the simple yet elegant makeup look at the office. Make sure you do not have too much makeup on. Remember girls, you are at work! Do not choose the striking colour lipstick when you are about to attend a meeting with the top management, nayaaaa!
Bold Red
Love, love, love this! If you want that extra mood booster, rock the bold red lips with a dramatic eye makeup look. Swipe that red bright lipstick on and do a cat eyeliner look. Wear this makeup look when you have a black, white or red outfit on to get that sophisticated aura. If possible, I would like this makeup for everyday!
How I wish I wake up at 4.30am to flaunt myself and I wish it helps to motivate my students to score an A for my course, gituuu kauuu!

Soft landing for returnees
EmptyThe Golden Globes and "24," two programs derailed by last year's WGA strike, returned Sunday to considerably smaller ratings than when they were previously seen in 2007.
Still, the performances were not out of line with how most shows are performing compared with two years ago.
The 66th annual Globes averaged 14.6 million viewers across its three hours on NBC, earning a 4.8 rating and an 11 share among adults 18-49.
That's down 26% in the adult demographic compared with 2007 (last year's brief awards news conference is not considered comparable) and marks the lowest-rated Globes since NBC took over the telecast in 1996. A red carpet special served as lead-in (7.7 million, 1.8/5).
The Globes were upstaged in the 9 p.m. hour by a drama series that was shut out of this year's nominations — ABC's "Desperate Housewives" (13.8 million, 5.2/12), which ranked as the top-rated entertainment program of the night.
On Fox, "24" (12.5 million, 4.2/9) returned to face head-on the similarly strike-exiled Globes. The action drama came in second place at 8 p.m. but slipped into third when "Housewives" stepped in.
The "24" rating is up 5% from November's prequel telefilm "Redemption" but down a sharp 31% from the program's 2007 series premiere. Sunday's episode was the lowest-rated "24" debut in the adult demo, though not among total viewers.
Despite all the high-profile premieres, CBS won the night propelled by a high-rated NFL playoff overrun from the Pittsburgh-San Diego game. The Eye also had "60 Minutes" (15.6 million, 4.0/9), "Cold Case" (12.4 million, 3.0/7) and "The Unit" (10.4 million, 2.7/7).
NBC was second with the Globes. ABC placed third and also had "Extreme Makeover" (10.3 million, 3.4/8) and "Brothers & Sisters" (9.1 million, 3.4/8). Fox was close behind in fourth with "24" and repeats. (partialdiff)

Can You Hire Your Own Appraiser for a Home Loan?by Don Rafner
The real estate appraiser plays a key role whether you are buying a home, selling one or refinancing a mortgage loan. If the appraiser doesn't give the home you want to buy or sell a high enough appraisal, you might be unable to close a real estate sale or purchase. A low appraisal can also scuttle a refinance. But don't think you can coax a high appraisal of a home by hiring your own appraiser. You can hire your own appraiser, but mortgage lenders will also order their own appraisals of the property you own or want to buy. And it's this lender-ordered appraisal that matters in real estate transactions.
When you apply for a mortgage loan to purchase a home, your lender will order an appraisal of the property you want to buy. Your lender wants to make sure that it is not lending you more money than what the home is worth. If the appraiser values the home at a price that is too far below the purchase price upon which you and the seller have agreed, the mortgage lender might refuse to provide you with a mortgage loan, potentially derailing your purchase. You can't hire your appraiser to do this. In deciding whether to loan you money, your lender will only consider the appraisal it receives from the appraiser it hires. You will, though, have to pay for this appraisal whether your real estate purchase goes through or falls apart.
When selling a home you might order an appraisal on your own to help set the right asking price for your home. Know, though, that when a buyer makes an offer on your home, that buyer's lender will not accept the appraisal that you paid for. Instead, the lender will order its own appraisal.
Refinancing your existing mortgage loan into one with lower interest rates can save you hundreds of dollars a month, depending upon how far your interest rate drops. But most lenders require that you have at least 20 percent equity in your home before they'll refinance. To determine if you have enough equity, your lender will again order its own appraisal of your home. Though you'll have to pay for this appraisal, you will not be able to select and hire your own appraiser. Again, this job falls to your mortgage lender.
Lenders and Appraisers
Your lender orders its appraisals directly from appraisal companies themselves or through appraisal management companies. These companies choose the appraiser who values a home; lenders are not allowed to choose the particular appraisers that they want. The appraisal process works this way so that lenders can't hire appraisers with whom they have personal relationships and who might be willing to appraise homes at higher values so that these lenders can close more refinances and sales.

Participants also indicated their typical smoking, drinking, and exercise behaviors plus current medication use. Gene expression values were measured from participant blood samples. Systematic differences in leukocyte gene expression were found to correlate with individual differences in Extraversion and Conscientiousness, with Extraversion associated with up-regulated expression of pro-inflammatory genes and Conscientiousness with down-regulated expression of pro-inflammatory genes, independent of age, sex, and race. Antiviral and antibody-related gene expression was not associated with any of the personality dimensions. It is unknown if the expression of genes that impact health influence personality traits or vice versa and the authors caution that these results do not support the concept of a "disease-prone personality." Rather, this research may serve as a support for previously observed associations between personality and physical health.
