Consumers grab raw tobacco - 'Grabba' makes its mark
"Wha kind a grabba dat you selling? A nuh red herring? The rope twist dem nuh good … ," are lyrics from the dancehall song Hot Grabba, recorded by entertainers Vybz Kartel and his protégé, Popcaan.
The term 'hot grabba' is the street name for raw tobacco, which is becoming increasingly popular for local smokers.
Windel 'Archie' Allen, a tobacco farmer, says that the process from field preparation to reaping and drying the crop for sale is about 16 weeks.
"When you setting up the nursery, you need a lot of water. The seeds need water to hatch," declared Allen, who said 'pack leaf' and 'cow tongue' are the two most popular varieties of local tobacco.
"If the season is good, like plenty rainfall, within eight weeks the suckers can be implanted."
According to Allen, the nursery is prepared by digging out weeds and shovelling off soft soil.
The dried tobacco seeds are then reduced to dust and are mixed with chemicals before being sown.
The area is then covered with grass, frequently watered and within five to six days, there should be evidence of germination.
The tobacco plants are watered daily until they reach maturation, at which stage they are cut and hung to dry.
The stalks and leaves are then twisted and sold per pound to buyers at the standard rate of $600 per pound.
The reward for the farmer is sweetened if there is a shortage of tobacco on the market, usually in drought periods. At that time the raw tobacco can fetch as much as $1,000 per pound.

Happy weekend! It was an especially exhausting week that was prefaced by a lively weekend celebrating at a friend's wedding. The silver lining was that despite the hectic schedule, the temperatures were slightly warming up (could it be that Spring could finally be starting?).
Here's what inspired me this week:
WhoWhatWear's The Key to Showing The Right Amount of Skin is a great reference tool for subtly (and age-appropriately) wearing Spring's less coverage-heavy looks. The trick? If you're going to showcase one body part, keep the others modestly covered.
Elle's 10 Must-Have Items to Revamp Your Spring Wardrobe is another great list to inspire shopping for the upcoming season. The highlight is that there's not too much here that you don't already likely have - it's just a matter of restyling to suit the warmer weather.
Harper's Bazaar's Jean Queens: Inspiring Celebrity Denim is especially interesting for me. I'm fortunate to work in an office where jeans are considered okay for everyday wear. However, I'm always on the lookout for new ways to wear my denim while still being work-appropriate. The caveat here is that not every look is right for the office, so pick and choose your look according to your company dress code.
Have a lovely weekend!

Exceptional customer serviceGet specialist help and advice
As nature photography has shifted decisively towards digital in recent years, much has been written offering guidance and tips on technical matters, but there has been little published on the creative aspects.
European Wildlife Photographer of the Year Chris Gomersall addresses this gap in a fresh and accessible guide, which takes account of developments in photography without dwelling on technical details. Ten thematic chapters on subjects such as Space, Light, Time and Developing a Narrative are generously packed with examples, advice and suggestions for projects and exercises.
The second part of Wildlife Photographer: A Course in Creative Photography consists of sixteen case studies, where Gomersall describes how he achieved some of his most outstanding images. The large new audience for a guide such as this is evidenced in the growth of ecotourism and the uptake of digital cameras with excellent zoom facilities in recent years. The field has opened up to many more people as cameras are now largely automated and foolproof. Wildlife Photographer: A Course in Creative Photography will serve as an inspiration to these relative newcomers, as well as to more accomplished photographers who are technically assured but are looking to extend their creativity, to try fresh approaches and to learn from one of the masters.
Chris Gomersall has worked as a full-time, self-employed wildlife photographer since 1984, initially as staff photographer for the RSPB. The first British photographer to win the European Wildlife Photographer of the Year (2007), he is a Nikon UK training partner and runs tours and workshops throughout the year. He is the author of Photographing Wild Birds (David & Charles 2001), and was the principal photographer and picture editor on Mark Cocker and Richard Mabey's Birds Britannica (Chatto 2005). Chris lives in Potton, Bedfordshire.
"This book will give you the drive to do even more or even take up the hobby for the first time."
- Birdwatching
"This photography course breaks the mould of others by abandoning the manual format of tables and charts. All the techie information is still there, but delivered in a more organic and conversational style, with discussion about the contexts that photography comes from and exists within. The author is an experienced professional photographer of wildlife, and he distils knowledge and wisdom accrued over the years into a progressive portfolio."
- Good Book Guide
"An inspiration for photographers who aspire to capture stunning nature pictures."
- Westmorland Gazette
"A delight not only for those who aspire to take such photographs, but also for those who admire wildlife photography."
- Good Book Guide
"The first British winner of the European Wildlife Photographer of the Year Award, and the principle photographer on Birds Britannica, engagingly discusses some of his best pictures. Some of them are truly awe-inspiring."
- Bookseller
"Gomersall's advice is straightforward, genuinely helpful and his images are excellent examples of the genre."
- Amateur Photographer
"Stuffed with many of Chris's best photos, but that's not the reason to buy it. Chris has imparted many of his secrets and does his best to guide the reader in the skills needed to take the best photos."
- Wildlife Extra
"For anyone who cares about their photography and where this funny old business is heading, I'd offer only one piece of advice: Buy this book. It captures the essence of wildlife photography in 2012 better than anything I've read before."

I haven't cooked. I haven't cleaned. I have generally lost interest in all things related to food in general.
Tonight, however, after a productive afternoon of laundry, I decided to treat myself to some comfort food, sans husband (he's working tonight)
So, I whipped up a quick, easy pasta dish that is full of delicious veggies - the perfect end to a busy day!
Balsamic Chicken Alfredo with Mediterranean Vegetables
Boil up some pasta - I like to use whole wheat penne or fusilli. Cook according to package directions, drain.
Grill or pan sear a chicken breast (or two, if you want to share with someone else!)
Chop up and stir fry:
1 red onion
1 small zucchini
1 small eggplant
1/2 a red bell pepper OR 2 large roasted red peppers (from a jar)
To the stir fried veggies, add 1 jar of alfredo sauce - I like to use Classico mushroom alfredo sauce.
Then add 1/2 cup of Balsamic salad dressing. Bring to a simmer. Add pasta. Plate and add a chicken breast. I like to serve mine with freshly grated asiago cheese. Voila! Enjoy!

Chandigarh: Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal has urged the Union government to set up an examination centre either at Ludhiana or Jalandhar to facilitate the civil services aspirants from the state.
In a letter written to Union Minister of State for Personnel and Training Jitendra Singh, the Chief Minister apprised him that thousands of students from the state appear for civil services examination conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) annually, according to an official release issued here today.
The Chief Minister said at present there is no examination centre in the state.
"Chandigarh being the nearest centre, all students from Punjab have to come here for appearing in the prestigious examination. Many of these students have to travel 300 km to reach Chandigarh.
"As the examination starts in the morning, students who come from far off places in Punjab cannot afford to take risk of travelling from their hometown to Chandigarh on the day of the examination. Therefore, most of them have to travel a day prior to the examination and make arrangements for their boarding and lodging at Chandigarh," he pointed out.
The Chief Minister said apart from other inconveniences, this also causes a lot of economic hardships to the poor students, especially from the rural areas of border districts located farthest from the capital city.
Badal sought the Union Minister's immediate intervention to resolve this issue on priority by setting up "at least one examination centre in the state for ensuring equal opportunity to all."

In issue #11 :
University in the middle ages, featuring twelfth-century frat songs and post-graduation bullfights ... Erwin Schroedinger, self-titled sex god ... the Borg versus My Little Pony ...
Watching a presentation at a medieval university was not the dull PowerPoint-driven yawnfest we often encounter today. Instead it was more like going to watch a boxing match. When a student was nominated by his professor to give a 'disputation', all other classes were cancelled and a large band of students and eminent visitors would attend. In the manner of a tournament, the student wouldPhD candidates take note. Lots of good stuff, well worth the 2.8 MB download.
present his thesis and then be expected to try and defend it against all opposition from the audience. The professor would act as the student's second and trainer. A spirited defence was hailed with shouts of applause.
Woe to the student who didn't entertain or educate the audience if there were loose stones around.
Nerdling has reached the significant milestone of eleven issues: eleven,Ah Brain Food!
Eleven is strange and symmetrical and sneaky. There are secret ways to find if a number is divisible by eleven: take the number, start at either end, and alternately add and subtract its digits. If the answer is either zero or divisible by 11, then the number is divisible by 11 too. For example: 1595 gives 1-5+9-5 = 0, and is hence divisible by 11.
- the only palindromic prime number with an even number of digits;
- eleven, the number of the first manned mission to land on the moon;
- eleven, the number of Tim-Tams in a packet.

C'mon, Let's Spice It Up Ch. 02byloving_hubby©
The next morning Tina was up before me. When I went down to the kitchen for breakfast, she was already in the midst of cooking for lunch. She was still clad in her nightie, and it was quite obvious that she was not wearing anything under the flimsy piece of material. She was in unusually high spirits.
"Hi, lover boy," she greeted me, giving me a quick kiss on the lips, "you were quite naughty last night, huh? You really soaked me up."
"But you were already very wet before I got to you," I commented in a somewhat sarcastic tone..
"I think you know why. Did you enjoy the show, Tom?"
I was surprised. Tina seemed to know that I had watched her playing with herself. But I still pretended that I didn't know what she was talking about.
"What show?" I asked, "I didn't watch any TV last night."
"Aw, come on, Tom, I mean the live show," she teased me, "Don't pretend. I know you were watching. I even noticed that you were playing with your little willie as you watched."
"So you knew that I was awake? I didn't know that you indulged in things like masturbation and fantasy."
"Well, when the real-life stuff starts getting stale ..." she began.
"Who were you fantasizing about?" I interrupted, sounding almost annoyed.
"Well, it was someone. Does it matter? It could be anyone. It was only a fantasy."
I was surprised by the openness and boldness with which Tina was dealing with the issue. I got the impression that she was glad that I had found out her secret. She seemed to be desperately trying to get a message across.
I looked at Tina as she went about her chores. She was a charming woman and she looked delicious in her scanty outfit. But I wondered if it would be healthy for the kids to see her in this state.
"Don't you think you should cover yourself up a bit more?" I asked, "It wouldn't be nice for the kids to come down and see you like this."
"Have you forgotten, lover boy?" she asked, "They are having their school picnic today, remember? They left very early this morning. You were deep in slumber land."
Tina cleared the work-table, and came and sat down at the breakfast table next to me. She took a prune from my bowl and put it in her mouth. Then she placed her hand on mine and looked me straight in the eyes.
"Isn't something obvious to you?" she asked, "You were so aroused by the possibility that I was fantasizing about some other guy. Your raging hard-on was witness to that. And I was also really very excited by the erotic thoughts playing in my mind and the fact that you were watching my act. My drenched pussy was witness to that. We have never been so sexually excited over the recent past. Doesn't that speak something?"
"Are you trying to suggest something?" I asked, as I gulped down my tea, "Are you trying to tell me that you want to make love to another man? Are you trying to test my feelings about such a possibility?"
"I didn't say that. But I think it's about time we did something to spice up our love life."
"Are you suggesting adultery?" I asked.
"You are the one who's making all the suggestions," she responded quite coolly, "I'm only wondering whether you would have any objections if your wife occasionally engages in some self-gratifying activities?"
"I don't know for sure," I said, shrugging my shoulders, "I haven't had much time to think about it. But I can tell you that I got really turned on as I watched you playing with yourself last night."
I put my arm around her shoulder, drew her towards me, and kissed her on her lips. This little discussion with my wife seemed to be having some kind of sensual effect on me.
"Let's go upstairs," I whispered into her ear as I took her hand in mine.
"No need to whisper," she said, "There's no one else in the house."
I led her out of the kitchen and up the stairs. As soon as we got to the bedroom, I took off my tee-shirt.
"Take your nightie off and get into bed," I ordered, "And get cracking with your game. Do what you were doing last night, but this time I want you to speak out whatever is on your mind. Don't hold back anything. And I want you to fully enjoy whatever fantasy is playing in your mind."
Tina was a little taken aback. "You are not angry, are you?" she asked, looking a little apprehensive.
"No, not at all," I reassured her, "Why should I be angry? Let's just enjoy something different."
As Tina got out of her nightie and stretched herself out on her back, I wondered if she would be bold enough to repeat her act in broad daylight. She was a little reluctant at first and looked at me with pleading eyes.
"Go ahead," I encouraged her, "Get your mind to it."
After a little more prodding Tina placed her hands on her chest and slowly began to play with her breasts, squeezing them first, and then rolling, pinching and pulling her nipples. Initially she appeared a bit conscious of my presence, but later she closed her eyes and began to make little guttural sounds of pleasure as she fondled her breasts..
Then, very slowly indeed, she moved one hand down over her well-toned stomach to her crotch. Her legs moved apart as she began to finger her congested clitoris.
Her first words hit me like a thunderbolt.
"Fuck me, Alan," she murmured in subdued desperation, as she began to work fervently on her love button. I listened in total disbelief as my wife repeatedly uttered this other man's name and blatantly begged him for a fuck.
Her face had by now become flushed and her breathing was becoming more rapid. While one hand continued to work on her clitoris, the other hand moved down to separate her pussy lips. Her legs slipped even further apart, exposing her, almost obscenely, to my watchful scrutiny. She let out a soft moan of pleasure that sent chills through my groin.
"I need your cock, Alan," she continued, still rubbing her clitoris with one hand and stretching her sex lips with the other, "I need your big cock inside me."
Slipping two fingers into her vagina, she continued to beg for her lover's cock. "Ohhhhh Alan ... please Alan ... I want you inside me. Get that big cock of yours inside me ... please ... fuck me, Alan ... give me a real good fuck ... I need a real good fuck, Alan ... "
I watched and listened in total awe while my wife squirmed in uncontrolled excitement as she plunged deeper into her fantasy. I was taken aback by the intensity with which another man had so thoroughly overwhelmed my wife's sexual desires.
"Mmmmm ... yeah ... that's it ... give it to me now ... give it to me real hard ... I want you to fuck me hard ... I want you to really bang your cock into me ... fill me up with your semen ... I want your sperm inside me ... ooooooh ... it feels so nice to have your juices pouring into me ... I love you, Alan ... I love to have your cock inside me ... I love to have your sperm inside my womb ... mmmmmmm ... "
Tina's fingers moved rhythmically in and out of her vaginal opening, simulating a phallic fuck. Her body shook vigorously with joyful excitement, and she was almost gasping for breath.
As I gazed at the outrageous spectacle of my wife getting fucked by a guy called Alan, albeit in her fantasy, my cock swelled up and hardened till I thought it would burst.
Then Tina suddenly squeezed her thighs together, lifted her hips from the bed and gasped as her body first went into a spasm and then began to convulse violently, seized by her illicit orgasm. As incredible waves of pleasure swept through her body, I could not help pulling my shorts down and stroking my cock in total delight.
Tina did not waste any time as she came out of her climax. She spotted my throbbing cock jutting out over the top of my shorts and grabbed hold of it.
"I love your big cock, Alan, I really love it," she muttered, completely lost in the depths of her fantasy.
With her fingers wrapped around the shaft, she pumped my cock vigorously till I thought it was about to explode. Then she took it into her mouth. Her lips found their way right down to the base of my shaft, engulfing the full length of my cock within her oral cavity.
I was then treated to a most exhilarating blow job, culminating in an explosive ejaculation. As my hot cream spewed deep into her throat, Tina swallowed enthusiastically without wasting a single drop of my semen. She expertly sucked out and gulped down every drop, and then licked my cock absolutely clean.
I could hardly come to terms with what was going on. I found it difficult to accept that this was the same woman who in recent years had developed some kind of aversion for oral sex.
A little later we were exchanging soft kisses as we lay exhausted in each other's arms. "I love you," Tina whispered.
My response was a little blunt.
"Who is Alan?" I asked, unable to hold back my curiosity.
"Oh, so you are getting worried? Or are you beginning to feel a little jealous?" she teased me, "He's my lover."
"Who is he?" I asked again in a rather firm tone.
"Oh, he's Carol's husband," she confided in a very matter-of-fact way, "He fucks me regularly ... but only in my dreams ... and I thoroughly enjoy his fucks."
"Who's Carol?"
"She works in my office. She's my best friend at work."
"Have you met Alan?"
"Not personally. I've only seen him from a distance. And I must say that he looks good."
"I heard you say that you loved him?"
"Yeah, I love him a lot. I love him in my dreams"
"Does Carol know that you fantasize about her husband?" I queried.
"Yeah," said Tina, "We share a lot of secrets. And you may be pleased to know that she too has fantasies - about making love to you."
"Oh? She doesn't even know what I look like. I don't think I've met her."
"You haven't. But she's seen you a couple of times, when you dropped me off at work."
I was astounded. I suddenly realised that I hardly knew my wife of fifteen years. We had never spoken out or shared our deeper thoughts and feelings before. We had been taking too many things for granted. No wonder our love life had become such a fiasco.

Getting internet set up here (Bogotá)
Hi all,
I'm trying to get internet set up at my new apartment. I live in Chapinero. I called Movistar like 15 days ago, and they told me 3 to 7 days, and when they failed to come in that time, I called again and said that there was no record of my sale. Then we went through the process again last night of getting set up but when he put me on hold at the end of confirming everything on the contract I got cut off, then I called back today and they said they don't service Chapinero!? lol really you couldn't have told me this before or maybe they are lying, i don't know.
Anyways, question: who's a decent internet provider who services Chapinero area. I have a cedula de extranjeria so that isn't an issue. I know there is Claro, but I have heard so many bad things about them that I'm looking for another option.
But please tell us your experience.

I like this, only instead of canned cheering, I must suggest a sit-com laugh track.
LOL! Yes! And they could add those transitional slap-bass blips and boops from Seinfeld for every change of possession!

Peruse the Constitution: Only in Washington and only at the National Archives will you be able to read the original documents that grounded this nation in liberty. Here you'll find the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States, and the Bill of Rights—all on display behind glass.
People-Watch at Dupont Circle: This traffic circle is also a park—an all-weather hangout for mondo-bizarre biker-couriers, chess players, street musicians, and lovers. Sit on a bench and watch scenes of Washington life unfold around you.
Attend a Millennium Stage Performance at the Kennedy Center: Every evening at 6pm, the Kennedy Center presents a free 1-hour concert performed by local, up-and-coming, national, or international musicians. After the performance, head through the glass doors to the terrace for a view of the Potomac River.
Groove to the Sounds of Live Jazz in the Sculpture Garden: On summery Friday evenings at the National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden, you can dip your toes in the fountain pool and chill out to live jazz from 5 to 8pm. The jazz is free; the tapas, wine, and beer served in the Pavilion Café are not.
Pick a Museum, (Just About) Any Museum: Because this is the U.S. capital, many of the museums are federal institutions, meaning admission is free. The National Gallery of Art, the U.S. Botanic Garden, and the Smithsonian's 17 Washington museums, from the National Air and Space Museum to the Freer Gallery, are among many excellent choices.
Attend an Event on the Mall: Think of the National Mall as the nation's public square, where something is always going on. There's the Kite Festival during Cherry Blossom season in the spring; the splendid Independence Day celebration every Fourth of July; and walking tours, biking, Frisbee throwing, and assorted impromptu sports happening year-round.

Well folks, we made it to another Christmas eve. This is a special time as we gather around our loved ones. Some travel a long distance just to be with their families at this time of the year. It's nice to have family around. We gather around the Christmas tree, drink eggnog, and sing Christmas songs. If you haven't already done so, you may spend the evening decorating the tree. Some families like to wait until the members of their family arrive to do this. It's nice to go to bed on Christmas eve, and to wake up on Christmas morning, and open presents. I remember my family always had a nice time on Christmas eve. My mother and her best friend, would go shopping for our toys. They would come to our house, and go inside one of the children's bedrooms, closing the door behind them, to wrap presents. My sister and I would quietly sneak up to the door, and take a look through the peephole. We could see everything that they were wrapping! I don't remember how many years that we got a way with this, but my mother did catch on, and would wrap them at her friend's house, since she could trust her children to wait, and open their presents. I hope that whatever you do today, that you don't spend tonight or tomorrow alone. It's about being with family and loved ones. While we may not visit each other during the year, Christmas eve is a good time to remember to catch up on family matters, and to just spend time with the people who you love. Enjoy your Christmas eve!
Christmas Eve24 Dec
My HDTV quit working last night21 Dec
Well, I went out shopping last night. I came home at 9 p.m., and when I turned on my Insignia HD 42″ TV, it made some popping sounds through the speakers, but the picture never came on. It had been making the sounds for a couple of weeks, so it didn't surprise me when it wouldn't work last night. I called the manufacturer, and the tech said that it sounded like it died. I asked him how long these TV's are supposed to last, and he told me between 2-5 years. Is that all? Are you serious, I wondered. I think it's great that technology had replaced the old and bulky TV's from years past with thin and sleek High Definition TV's, but, with the price that they ask for them, you would think that they would last a little longer than 5 years. I did find out something interesting about myself. I am addicted to watching TV. I tried not to panic as I realized that my constant companion was no longer going to keep me company last night. What would I do to keep busy? I tried not to panic. Then I thought, why not just rent some movies? So, I did just that. Picked them up at Red box just down the street from where I live. This afternoon, here I am trying to find something to do again to keep busy. I do plan to buy another HDTV today, but I need my neighbor's help to bring it home. He has a truck. I've done my homework, and found out the best brands to buy in the price range that I want to spend for one. Consumer Reports advised to stay away from Westinghouse brand, as those sets failed most of the time. So long my old TV. You were a great friend, and you provided me with 3 years of entertainment. Even during those nights when I fall asleep, and left you on all night. The great thing about you was that you were free, after winning you in a sweepstakes. So, I can't complain.
The supposed Mayan prophecy tomorrow 12/21/201220 Dec
First of all let me say that I don't buy it. What makes the Mayans so special, that they would know that the world ends tomorrow many years ago? I can't find it anywhere in my bible. Don't you think if they had some special insight into the future, that their race would still be around? There are too many unanswered questions. I don't expect anything to happen tomorrow, but it case I'm wrong, I've asked my friend Liew Chi Khong (http://chikhongphotography.wordpress.com/), who is a photographer and is some 16 hours ahead of me, to notify me if anything weird starts happening via Facebook. Enjoy the rest of today, as it maybe our last one on the planet. I doubt it.
Regarding the supposed Mayan prophecy tomorrow 12/21/2012. Public message request to my buddy Liew Chi Khong, who lives in Penang, Malaysia…Hey Liew, since you are 16 hours ahead of me here in California, if the sun should suddenly start doing strange things..before you go crazy taking the wonderful pictures that you take, let me know what is happening, won't you? Haha!
Maybe because it's Christmas? Or is it just great customer service?19 Dec
Wow! Just last week, I read an article online about a lady who ordered (1) I pad from Best Buy, and received (5) in the box when it arrived at her home!! She contacted BB,, and what was their response? Gonna ahead and keep the other 4, or give them away as gifts. Now, that's the last thing I would have expected from a major retailer. Or maybe because it's Christmas time, somebody at BB felt good about the spirit of giving? Then, it also happened to a second woman. She also ordered (1) I pad, and received 5 in the box. She too contacted BB, and received the same answer from their customer service representative. I wonder if the customer service rep had to ask their boss what to do? Or, did they just make the decision on their own? The second woman is keeping the other 4 in the same box in her closet, because she still believes that BB is going to knock on her door any day and demand them back! I seriously doubt it.
Well, something nice happened to me with DirecTV, and I thought I would share it with you. First of all, their customer service reps are the best in the world. I've been a new subscriber since September 6, 2012, and I always get somebody nice on the telephone, who thanks me for my being their customer. I appreciate that. I called them yesterday, and took advantage of their ExtraHD channels for a FREE, 3 month trial offer, that they had sent me via email. But, as soon as I hung up, my HBO, Starz, Cinemax, and Showtime stopped working. So when I called to report it, "Mark" apologized for that happening, and told me because it was their error, that he would only charge me for HBO & the Starz channels, at a discounted rate. He gave me Showtime & Starz, FREE for 3 months! Now, you can't beat that. Mark didn't put me on hold to ask his supervisor anything. He made that decision as we spoke. I told Mark that I am very happy and satisfied with DirecTV. Seems every time I call DirecTV, they have something nice for me, and not because it is Christmas. They are much better than the cable company I had been with the previous 5 years. They never offered me any discounts, and they won't be getting back my business anytime soon! I am curious though. If you are currently a DirecTV customer, are they always this nice, or is it just because I'm a fairly new customer? I would appreciate a response from anybody reading this, good or bad, about your experience with DirecTV. So, please let me hear from someone out there. I'd like to believe that they are always this nice!
Latest world's oldest living person passes away17 Dec
On my Dec 6th, 2012, blog entry, I wrote that Bess Cooper had passed away at the age of 116, and that Dina Manfredini, age 115, of Iowa, had inherited the title of the world's oldest living person according to the Guinness book of records. Ms. Manfredini was able to hold onto that record for two weeks. Sadly, she too passed away yesterday. She had been living in a nursing home in Johnston, Iowa. That title now belongs to a Mr. Jiroemon Kimura, a Japanese man, who is just 15 days younger than Ms. Manfredini. Here I am with my poor health trying to survive day-to-day, and I find it remarkable that these 2 women lived as long as they did. I can only pray that I live to a good old age. One thing is certain. When my time is up, I will be ready to go home and be with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, so I don't fear death. It is just a transition into another realm as far as I am concerned. Don't get me wrong. I want to stick around and enjoy life like everyone else. In biblical times, especially in the old testament, it was not uncommon for people to live a hundred years or more. But with diseases, air pollution, and other environmental factors, things have changed. Every time you get in your car, or travel by airplane, or train, etc, you take the chance that something may happen to you. But, we can't sit around locked up in our homes and be paranoid. As we grow older, falls become a concern. I know from personal experience. It was just 2 years ago that I fell at home, and broke my left ankle. Fortunately, it healed up nicely on its own, and I didn't need surgery, much to the surprise of my doctor, who had planned on putting a metal plate and screws into my ankle. My brother just had neck surgery, and they placed a plate and rods in his neck. I was surprised when he told me that he only spent one night in the hospital! The human body is remarkable as to how it repairs itself. So, let's live life to the fullest. We cannot worry about what is going to happen to us every time we head out our door. We shouldn't focus on the bad, but the good things in life. Nor should we live in fear. Of course, taking care of your body helps tremendously. So eat right, exercise, and don't be afraid to see your doctor, even when you're not sick. It's all about prevention. So to Mr. Kimura, I say, congratulations, and continue to live your life to the fullest. We only get one life and one body. So let's take care of it. Take care of yourself.
I took the plunge and joined Facebook16 Dec
If you have been following my blog post, you will recall that I previously wrote about whether I should join Facebook or not. I had my reasons for not wanting to join. I had heard about FB invading your privacy, and some other terrible things. On the other hand, I was curious to see what it was all about, since most, but not all people have already done so. Well, yesterday, I took the plunge and jumped into the deep end of the pool, so to speak. Basically, I was tired of opening my email and being directed to sites only to find out that I needed access via FB to enter that site. I didn't think that was fair. These companies should give you an alternate choice of opening their site other than FB. Its funny, but people seem to go with the flow, and do something just because others are doing it. I don't feel that I have to join something just because others are doing it. So, I held out as long as I could. I asked people I knew what FB was all about, but their answers were vague. I even asked on my blog post for other's opinions, and I did receive a few comments, but they were not favorable. So I figured, why not try it. I can always delete my account if I don't find it useful. The interesting thing is when you join, the system does ask you if you want to see if any of your email contacts (friends & relatives) have a FB page, and you can select who you would like to ask to be added as a friend. It automatically sends them a message that you are now a FB user. Well, I was surprised to find that just about all of my email contacts are already on FB. So, I guess I was behind the times. The good news is that I was able to contact some of my friends whom I have not been in contact for a while. I also found it interesting that a number of my friends are associated with other people who I know, so that is a good thing. I also like the chat feature. I was online yesterday, and my good friend Liew Chi Khong and I, had a nice chat. Only time will tell if my joining FB is beneficial to me. I do like the fact that it is free to join. Would I recommend joining FB to others? I'm not sure. I guess it would depend on the individual, and whether they would actually get some use out of having a FB page. So for now, I am an official FB user. I hope that I get some good use from it. Until next time, take care of yourself.
Forget California, Navidad, Chile receives more earthquake tremors15 Dec
If you have followed my blog for any amount of time, then you know that one of the things that fascinates me is earthquakes. I live in California, and I thought that we received the most tremors, but it would appear that the town of Navidad, Chile, rates as a town with the highest amount of tremors. On February 27, 2010, an 8.8-magnitude earthquake, and tsunami, which washed away docks and seaside resorts, destroyed much of the Chile's coast, including the town of Navidad. The total damage was $30 billion dollars. A total of 551 people were killed, and 220,000 homes were destroyed. 5,500 people live in Navidad, a coastal farming community, with a reputation of being one of the shakiest spots in the world. Navidad felt more that 170 tremors in just five weeks! It's residents are all too familiar with the constant tremors, and they take whatever preparations they can, including daily earthquake drills by children in its public schools. Unfortunately, there is no way of telling when the next tremor will strike, or how long it will last, leaving the residents often on edge. Incredibly, the 2010 earthquake was so strong that it actually changed time and shortened the Earth's day, by changing the planet's rotation! The strongest earthquake ever recorded happened in Chile in 1960 when a magnitude 9.5 occured some 500 miles south of Navidad, killing in excess of 5000 people. Earthquakes happen all the time, some are so small that we just don't feel them. I searched the net and found a site that shows the current earthquakes occurring in California. It showed a graph with the time and magnitude of each tremor. They seem to be non-stop. I think it's fascinating that the country of Chile receives the most tremors, including the town of Navidad. Until next time, take care.

I do use my computer and phone for many things, but Facebook is not one of them. I deleted my account several years ago.
Why does anyone continue to use it? I guess there are things I have had to opt out of because I don't use Facebook, so maybe that answers my own question--but I have taken to telling businesses/organizations that if I have to use Facebook, then I will be opting out.
I frankly wonder why anyone would put up with Facebook. . .

Let me start by saying that if you don't know who Bruce Banner is I feel bad for you son. I got 99 problems but needing infertility advice ain't one. Hit me....
Don't make me angryyyy......I may also use swear words, respond irrationally or let you know how I really feel and then blog about it during my 2ww. 8DPIUI might I also throw in there in case you start to judge.
Who could go through life living so angry anyways?? Besides maybe the Hulk, Al-Qaeda, Yosemite Sam, KKK members, WestBoro Baptist Church, Angelica from Rug-rats, Kim Jong-un, Ursula, and possibly Montana Max from Acme Acres, to name a few. I do not want a life of anger or sadness but unfortunately it sometimes pops up. Today I am sharing what I learned from that. Whether it makes any sense or not that is up for you to decide. Besides this is suppose to be a personal blog about personal issues. Not a fantasy land where I pick flowers and slide down rainbows that shoot out skittles while birds are chirping. I am learning too.
Apparently I left out a part in my "What to Expect Post..." how someones unwanted, patronizing, and condescending advice makes me explode into a full-blown Hulk smash rage, destroying every building in sight. A person should always note that someone dealing with infertility does not want your advice unless of course they are asking for it. When you then add on rude comments or side jokes trying to undermine any decision that I have made that is related to my infertility, it only adds fuel to the fire. And we are not making s'mores people.
Houston we have a problem.
I can not be any clearer on the statement that you can not understand any part of this journey unless you have been in my shoes. That also goes along with choices I have made in my life, as crazy or indecisive they may seem in others happy little bubble wrapped world they fit perfectly in mine. And they are never something to be joked about in a patronizing way. Yes I got another dog on my husbands 3rd deployment. How about you try spending years away from your husband or wife at war and not being able to have a child on top of that. Then and only then, you can tell me how to live my life or make light of my choices on coping with my ongoing heartbreak. Its not like I bought a Bengal tiger that can eat me or a monkey that throws poop everywhere. My life, my choices, my struggles, my coping mechanisms. Pretty simple. Right?
I would also like to point out, again, that for the past year I have been on some kind of fertility drug(s) and
It is very frustrating to hear or read something from someone who has no idea what pain or unhappiness for years feels like. You can't spit out quotes you see online or tell me how to be happy and how life is grand when you have never walked where I or many others have. Well, legally you can but please do not think I will not take it lightly. Please do not think I am saying no one has the right to share, post, comment, copy and paste, or upload how they view life and the keys to eternal happiness in person or online. Huge Libertarian over here! I try to be positive and keep the fires of hope burning all the time. Its all about intentions.
What hurts is when someone thinks you choose to be unhappy. If I had a choice in life, many things would be different. I wouldn't choose infertility, I wouldn't choose my husband to be in Afghanistan, I wouldn't choose to miscarry a baby, I wouldn't choose to to be heartbroken every month. It is only when you choose to stand on your one-sided soap box and try to "put someone in there place" while stating the OBVIOUS about how we have choices in life. You then come off fake, very condescending, and heartless. Not a good look at all. If you are trying to be helpful to a friend or family member do it from a place of good not evil. Think to yourself, "Is this something I would want to hear right now if I was in her shoes?" Instead of preaching to me how life is full of choices and I have to get over myself and my "insignificant hiccup" in life is simply just a choice to be happy or sad about. Thank you Captain Obvious. There is also this thing called tact if you have never heard of it. Maybe it will help you out next time your casting out your stone?
Enough with the negativity. I was also told the other day that I have been "pushing people away." Whatever that crap line is suppose to mean, I find it almost laughable. It is so funny that a person knows everything about someones life, yet knows nothing. Throughout this whole crazy path that I am on, my "friendships" have actually become stronger. I have met so many strong, intelligent, kindhearted, beautiful women that have stood by me through my ups and downs. The downs are what matter most. That is when you need strong people around you telling you it will get better. It is bittersweet knowing I have so many people in my corner cheering me on, knowing what I am going through. It is bittersweet in that it hurts to know that they have felt the same pain that I have but knowing they can relate. They are the human voice I listen to when I need advice or someone to vent too. I am humbled when I hear stories filled with more pain than mine, when they hurt I hurt, when they say keep moving forward I listen. Yes I pray and give my struggles to God, I know he chose my path and that it is already laid out for me to find. I am just thankful for not feeling like I am the only person walking this road alone. On top of that it gives me peace and comfort and a greater hope when I see women like myself find their way.
There are people that you lose along the infertility road whether they have decided to step back or you have decided it is easier to keep a distance. No one can judge someone for letting go of relationships that are only hurting a person. That is just a fact of life and of growing and moving on. So no, I do not feel like I have pushed anyone away as opinionated and heartless as that was to hear. My infertility may be driving a wedge between some relationships. Yes. But my intentions are never to push anyone away. There comes a time when you must decide if you need to distance yourself from someone to keep moving forward or end a relationship altogether. This is not about the other person, it is about me and what I can bare. This journey is about me trying not to lose myself in this stormy, uncharted ocean. Either you can CHOOSE to be a broken sail flapping in the wind damaging my ship or an anchor that holds fast and keeps me steady. I prefer anchors. I'm not much of a broken sail kind of gal.

The Labour Code governs employee entitlement to annual and special leave.
Annual leave
Employees with more than one year of service are entitled to 15 days' annual leave per year – in practice, 21 calendar days or three weeks. Employees who work in Chile's southernmost regions are entitled to 20 working days of annual leave (Regions XI and XII). Employees can accumulate leave for up to two years.
Progressive annual leave
Employees with 10 years of service for one or more employers (continuous or not) are entitled to an additional day's annual leave for every three years of work.
Use of annual leave (individual and collective)
Employees that want to use their statutory annual leave must arrange the dates with their employers unless the employer decides to close the company's facilities so that all employees take their annual leave at the same time.
Salary entitlement
Employers must pay employees their regular salary during their annual leave. For employees with a variable salary, remuneration is calculated using the average salary earned during the previous three full months of employment.
Payment of unused annual leave
Employees who leave their job without having used their full annual leave entitlement can claim payment in compensation. Compensation payments must consider unused leave plus any Saturdays, Sundays or public holidays that the employee would have been entitled to include in his or her annual leave.
Leave for marriage
From July 18 2014 (when Law 20,764 was passed) an employee who gets married is entitled to five working days of continuous paid leave in addition to his or her annual leave, irrespective of the length of service. This leave can be used as desired by the employee (ie, preceding or following the wedding day).
To use this benefit, an employee must give 30 days' notice to his or her employer and present a copy of the official wedding certificate within 30 days of the wedding.
Leave for death of child, spouse or civil partner
In the event of the death of a child, spouse or civil partner, an employee is entitled to seven calendar days' paid leave in addition to his or her entitlement to annual leave, irrespective of length of service, under Paragraph 1, Article 66 of the Labour Code. This leave must be used following the bereavement and cannot be substituted for monetary compensation. An employee cannot be dismissed in the month following the bereavement.
Leave for death of child during pregnancy or death of parent
In the event of the death of a child during pregnancy or the death of a parent, an employee is entitled to three working days' paid leave in addition to annual leave, irrespective of length of service under Paragraph 2, Article 66 of the Labour Code. This leave must be used following the bereavement and cannot be substituted for monetary compensation.
Leave for medical check-ups
Article 66a of the Labour Code (introduced by Law 20,769), provides that employees over 40 with contracts for more than 30 days are entitled to a half-day off once a year to undergo a preventive health check-up. To use this right, employees must give one week's notice to their employer. For legal purposes, this time is considered as having been worked.

The easiest method to identify cows on a dairy farm is with numbers. But many farmers also choose to name their cows. Sometimes it's a flowery name. Sometimes it is a sweet name. Some names come from baby naming books while others are geographic references. Then there are the names for physical or personality characteristics. One of the earliest Cow of the Month posts was Big Ears. This time, the calf's name is Bucky…for obvious reasons.
Bucky's under bite makes her endearing and you just can't help but chuckle and say, "Awww… she is so cute!" She was such an active little calf that she didn't want to stay still long enough for me to get a nice photo. But rest assured, she has no self-confidence issues about her looks. Beauty, or cuteness in this case, is in the eye of the beholder. And while some may think she is an unattractive calf, I think she's adorable!

Herbie Hancock Head Hunters
The band that keyboardist Hancock formed in 1973 to make Head Hunters was a defiantly funky unit bristling with synthesizers and grooves that sent shock waves throughout the jazz scene. Drummer Harvey Mason is the liberating force, driving the album's four tracks with precision and elan. Bassist Paul Jackson, percussionist Bill Summers, reeds player Bennie Maupin and Hancock himself click beautifully into Mason's patterns, which repay close study. They have been copied so many times that it is easy to overlook the originality and creativity of his work.
At that time, many listeners thought electronic keyboards and basses too crude for jazz, and flinched at the way heavy backbeats were infiltrating a music whose polyrhythms were reaching the outer limits of free-flowing improvisation. Hancock was one of the chief architects of 1960s jazz, and the sextet he formed after leaving Miles Davis continued the adventure, combining freedom, orchestral vision and studio electronics.
By comparison, Head Hunters sounds pretty simple: the tune in Chameleon, for example, is just a few two-note phrases over a bass riff. But the complexity is in the style, the purposeful invention across the beat. Watermelon Man, the leader's 1960s hit, is given a clever arrangement by Mason, who slows it down to allow the space and detail of jazz-funk rhythm playing to come through. In several places, the background becomes the foreground, as small changes in drums, bass or percussion grab your attention. Vein Melter evokes earlier, meditative Hancock compositions such as Maiden Voyage and predicts chill-out music: ultra-slow drums, dreamy synths and a sneaky bass/bass clarinet unison.
The track Sly pays tribute to the great Sly Stone, yet the piece is a classic Hancock composition, with double-time jazz solos on sax and piano. Mason delivers yet another tutorial in how to improvise while maintaining a groove - a lesson Weather Report would take several more years to learn. With Head Hunters, Hancock and his co-producer David Rubinson made an album that was a bit like Sly, a lot like Hancock, and a product that connected with enough people to make it one of the biggest-selling jazz albums of all time.
Head Hunters (Columbia Legacy, £9.99)
