Things were starting to look grim when the blink of an eye Shira was at the church. Shira, blinking rapidly for a moment, realizes she has appeared and jumps into the fray. She sends Jeremiah off to revitalize Jane and begins throwing daggers and dissonant whispers left and right. The rest of the party, boosted at the sudden return of their friend, continue the battle with newfound energy.
However, our heroes were not the only ones with sudden reinforcement. A thick, black carriage appears led by four horses and five more of Priest's men. They pull the carriage around to the side of the church and throw open the back doors. It is readily apparent that they intend to throw the angel into the carriage. Priest, having been thoroughly damaged by the party, seizes the opportunity to run out of the church and hop on the carriage, ordering his men to help assist. Before following his orders, one of his men on the carriage throws Priest a potion, which Priest promptly chugs.
At this point, the party was once again in a difficult position. Jane, Shira, and Khemed were already outside of the church fighting the men. Keladry had just run out of the church behind Priest and was holding off several of Priest's men from getting to the rest of the party. Fenrir was stuck, the exit out of the church was too small for him to fit through as a wolf and even if he squeezed through there were too many people right in front of the exit. He could turn back to normal and rejoin the fight using only his spells or run out of the front entrance as a wolf, possibly wasting precious time.
While this was all going through his head the angel was thrown into the back of the carriage and locked inside. Out of sheer desperation, Fenrir returned to normal, ran outside, and hit the carriage point blank with a tidal wave, knocking the carriage over and down into a ditch.
This provided our heroes the opportunity to show just how far they've come as a team. Keladry continued to steadily cut down the torching foes, Shira sent one of them running off into the distance with dissonant whispers, Jane ran down to the carriage and began cutting the binds off of the angel. Khemed, using the radiance of dawn, disintegrated every single one of Priest's men instantly, followed by Fenrir using tidal wave to wash away the torching men's ashes.
Priest, realizing that the battle was decided, fled the scene. Fenrir attempted to follow him but was called off by the rest of the party, who pointed out that they, Fenrir included, were exhausted by the battle and could not fight off the entire town. With the rescued angel in tow, the party fled into the woods.
Once they were settled in a safe clearing, the angel spoke with the party. The angel identifies herself as Anaphiel, who is the caretaker of their world. Anaphiel explains that Priest wanted her for something evil, and that she was going to be brought to Priest's master, the Man in Rags. Disturbed by this news, the party then talks with Shira, who explains her absence.
It turns out that Shira had been in the ethereal plane, having accidentally put on a necklace that randomly causes her to switch between the material and ethereal planes. Shira had been following the party around the entire time, but was unable to hear or speak to them. The necklace was clearly cursed so the wearer could not remove it, but the angel was kind enough to help Shira remove the necklace.
Later that night, Jane has a dream:
You are standing on the deck of the Raven's Wing. The skies are clear and the ship sails calmly with a pleasant tailwind. You look forward, and you see a great rainforest. Ulvenwald, but not, on inspection, the port you so recently left. In place of the ominous black cliffs, there is a river delta, and a pier waving the flag of Grand Victoria.
The ship is now sailing up a river. The trees hum with life as you pass beneath their branches. The river comes to a fork, and the ship deliberately turns and takes the right fork.
You walk along a forest path. You come to a point where the trail is flanked by two large trees, each bearing a large voodoo mask. For a moment, you feel their empty eyes staring straight through you, judging you. But then the feeling is gone. You step past the masks, and the tension leaves your shoulders as you are filled with a sense of peace and safety.
After explaining the dream to the party, they all agree to head back to Ulvenwald to the port matching the description of Jane's dream.

Actually so far it's been fairly painless, if laborious. Nokia provides reasonable documentation on the process and I'd been fairly sensible about building the app in logical functional modules so that I can build up the converted version in stages, adding functionality and testing it as I go. As far as I can tell so far, PySide is as stable and comparable in performance to PyQt.
I found that my oldest code used old style signals and slots, while the newer modules used the new improved syntax so I've been regularising them all to the new syntax as that's the only one PySide supports. Eli Bendersky has a good post on the advantages of the new style, as well as a neat trick using lambda to pass extra arguments to a slot.
Perhaps the biggest problem, in terms of drudgery, is getting rid of every QVariant and QString and replacing them with ordinary Python objects. The app uses the Qt MVC framework where values are passed to and from the model as QVariants, so I had a lot to change there. In particular, when you pass an integer to the model it arrives as a QVariant which you then 'un pack' to a Python integer and a boolean like this:
elif column == POPULATION :
new_index, ok = value.toInt()
The boolean just tells you whether the conversion worked or not, and I was actually just throwing it away. This now gets changed to...
elif column == POPULATION :
new_index = value
Much nicer!

"True friendship consists not in the multitude of freinds, but in their worth and value." by Ben Jonson
We all like to be the life of the party and we like to feel wanted, and the more people who seem to like us, the better.
Still, we recognize who our true friends are-and we don't have so many of these. They are the friends who don't wait to ask what they can do when we need help. They're the friends who tell us the things we don't want to hear, but need to hear anyway. They're the friends who know us-both our good and bad moments-and love us as we are.
Friends give us their friendship and all that goes with it: laughter, support, loyalty, trust, companionship, sympathy, new interests. When we give friendship, we get friendship in return. It truly is a gift we give ourselves. Opening ourselves to friendship takes time and commitment, and it involves some risk-but, oh, the possibilities!
I am truly blessed to have so many true friends. This holiday season seek out that real friend and do something special for them.

After their successes in the Adra and Dumayr areas of Damascus Province earlier last week, the Syrian rebels seized the initiative, advanced eastward, and captured the strategically-based al-Safa Rest Station on Abu al-Shamat Highway (HWY 2) on Friday.
Al-Safa is a road-side hamlet located in al-Qutayfah District, 84 km to the north-east of Damascus, and 188 km south-east of the Iraqi borders, through HWY 2. By controlling the rest station, the Syrian rebels sought to prevent or delay the land movement of pro-Assad regime Shiite militiamen and war supplies from Iraq to Damascus.
From al-Dumayr to Al-Safa Resting Station:
39km on Syria Highway 2, heading east
39km on Syria Highway 2, heading east
The rebels who captured al-Safa, the Islamic Front (IF), are a politically-moderate Salafi faction with no ties to al-Qaeda terror group. IF is backed by Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries.
Istirahat al-Safa: Al-Safa Rest Station on Syria HWY 2,
a.k.a. Abu al-Shamat Highway
a.k.a. Abu al-Shamat Highway
The assault on al-Safa came as a part of IF's wa a'eddou military campaign. Wa a'eddou is Arabic for "and prepare," which is a part of a Quranic Sign (Quran 8:60) that calls upon Muslims to strengthen and equip themselves with the proper weaponry to meet their enemies in combat.
Al-Sada Rest Station is located in Al-Qutayfah District,
Damascus Province, Syria
Damascus Province, Syria
Aside from its importance as a key point on the road linking Baghdad and Damascus, al-Safa is also described by the pro-Syrian rebels media as a stronghold of the Assadist forces.
The mullah Zahran Alloush giving a sermon
Prior to the assault on al-Safa, the Sunni mullah Zahran Alloush addressed the IF fighters and gave a sermon. Alloush told the assembled soldiers, "God is with us if we are with God," and called upon them to make both their lives and deaths for God.
The rebel's Tank
During the assault on al-Safa, an IF Russian-made T-72 could be seen moving along desert terrain to approach its target from the rear. Somehow, the rebels managed to reach the rest station undetected and unopposed.
Storming al-Safa
Another video released by the rebels (see right above) shows the aftermath of two attacks on Assad regime vehicles by IF fighters. One of the destroyed vehicles is a technical fitted with, according to the cameraman, a "Dushka" (but its more likely a KPVT 14.5 mm large-calibre machine gun).
The other vehicle is a fast-travelling KIA sedan, which received gunfire until it came to a dramatic halt and its occupant -- a uniformed and armed combatant -- neutralized.
The cameraman speculated that the fighter in the KIA is a member of Assad's Presidential Guard.
The sectarian nature of the war was quite evident from the expressions uttered by the cameramen (it seems that the video is the compilation of footage captured by more than one cameraman):
[0:57]: "The Mujahedeen of the Army of Islam-The Islamic Front are storming the Safa Rest Area and cutting off the Damascus-Baghdad road, the vital road for the regime, which receives aid through it from the Shiites of Iraq."Afterwards, the camera team shows low-flying Russian-made Assad regime jets unleashing their rockets on rebel positions with impunity. Indeed, the rebels still lack effective countermeasure to the Assad air force.
[3:28]: "By God, we shall take revenge upon the Nusayris for every Muslim brother."
[4:15]: "Destroying two vehicles for the Nusayri army."
It is unknown whether the rebels can hold on to al-Safa -- a location in the middle of nowhere. As to the Assad Iraqi supply line, it is not necessarily totally cutoff. Alternative but much longer routes are still under the control of the Syrian regime.
In the meantime, the rebels are still powerful and kicking. If anything, the capture of al-Safa shows just that!

Game Changer
I was never a huge Batman fan, but after playing this game it changed my mind. This is a fantastic game with pretty good graphics. The fighting style very much reminds me of the Spiderman series from Playstation. It's a great story and has a good open world-is feel. Offers plenty of gameplay hour for its price.

Sometimes when I get an idea, I just HAVE to make it IMMEDIATELY. Whatever I'm working on is dropped, and I start my new project like a madwomen. This is one of those projects. I was browsing through projects at burdastyle when I saw this awesome dress made by Ichigogirl. The pattern comes from the highly wanted Japanese Drape Drape books. I stared at the dress long and hard, but it's too complicated to make the whole dress without the pattern. Instead I made my own version of the skirt-part.
The striped jersey leftover from my shirt was perfect for this. I had barely enough so I could only replicate the front of the skirt. I folded the fabric and sewed the backs of the folds to a second piece of fabric. I concentrated on making the folds stay and not show any thread at the same time, at which I succeeded by thinking ahead. The order in which you sew parts of the skirt is crucial, and I've gotten much better at it. There was not enough fabric to make a waistband, so I had to make it out of three pieces of scraps. The little black button (can you find it?) works, but it's just there to pretend the seam is an opening instead of a seam at a weird place.
This is my second mini skirt, and I LOVE it! I've been thinking about age-apropriateness lately, and it made me realize I'd better wear them now while I still feel comfortable in them. It also depends on the model: this one's got a nice round fit to it which makes it almost classy. As opposed to a fluttery mini skirt I owned once, which made me feel like a 7 year old. I'd wear them with a sweater and some boots though, rather than with a top like this. I'm actually wearing them now, and they are, as everything I seem to make, very comfortable. And surprisingly warm, too!
UPDATE: Check out the tutorial!

The upcoming Floyd Mayweather and Marcos Maidana mega fight had yet another storyline added to it as early Friday morning Mayweather posted a photo on social media of him and strength and conditioning coach Alex Ariza appearing to be working together. The twist is that Ariza worked with Maidana before and was in his corner for the first Mayweather fight.
During their July press tour to promote the rematch, BoxingScene asked Mayweather about Ariza departing the Robert Garcia Boxing Academy to which Floyd responded by extending an invitation to Ariza to come to his gym. From everything going on, it appears Ariza took Floyd up on his offer.
BoxingScene caught up with Maidana's trainer Robert Garcia and asked him for his thoughts and reaction to Ariza now being Mayweather.
"The only thing I could think about is he has to give me the keys to my house because he still has all his things in my house; the house that I rented out for him. But it is what it is. It doesn't affect us. I know that Mayweather is smart. Mayweather is not going to hire someone in 2 weeks to do magic. Mayweather isn't stupid. I think he's just using Alex as a dummy and Alex is just being a dummy. I feel bad for Alex he shouldn't have allowed that to happen. He's smarter than that," Garcia would tell BoxingScene.
This wouldn't be the first time Ariza finds himself on the opposite corner of a former fighter he has worked with. When Ariza parted ways with Manny Pacquiao and Freddie Roach he partnered with Garcia and Brandon Rios when Rios fought Pacquiao in Macau China last November. He later worked with Mikey Garcia and Marcos Maidana before the relationship was ended a couple months ago.
Maidana himself doesn't appear bothered by the Alex Ariza situation either as he feels he's doing what he has to do.
"That doesn't interest me. I know he's a strength and conditioning coach and he has to do his job. He has to work," said Maidana.
Maidana and Garcia's focus is set more on getting prepared for September 13th and are not worried about Ariza or anything else with less than two weeks to go.

I have been on a shopping kick as of late. Besides the two bulk orders of Boyle shuttles, I've been ordering a shuttle a week, it seems.
Just recently I ordered this pretty Slider Shuttle from Sandra McKay Pellerin. Fox tested it out and gave it high marks. I'm hoping it works out as good for me. I have a GR8 shuttle and I like it but it is kind of fiddly on my tension. If it does my hands good, I'll order the Olive wood one I was eyeballing as well.
Davina-Marie on Etsy. A few months back I received an exchange package from her. Inside, she had included a hook similar. I'm so glad she made more because now I have the link to her Etsy shop. So the mystery of the 'artist' that made these has been solved! The one I received in the exchange was a size 7, the one I purchased was a size 12. I wonder if she'll make one in a size 14..that would round out my hook tools.
Besides this doily, I haven't tatted anything else. My tatting has been sorrowfully neglected. I still have to set up my MomCave again. We picked up a air hockey table for our son, and it seems like I'm going to have to put it in my cave. I forgot that things look smaller on the display floor, so that while it looks doable there, when you get it home it's a completely different story. I could change the dining area around and set it up there, but that would just look tacky.
With the weather warming up, I'll be able to do some resin casting soon. That means that I'll be making shuttles again! I know I only put out a few last time. Resin casting takes up so much time, that I haven't really felt the urge to do it. With the heat rising, it tempts me.
I found this picture on Facebook and thought it was a wonderful way to display some tatted flowers. Now the only problem would be to find a cute tea cup that I wouldn't mind using. Sounds like an excuse to go "Treasure Hunting". I'll see if my Honey wouldn't mind going to a few second hand stores with me. If not, he can always spend the day at his mom's with the kids so I can go. Looks, like we have tomorrow's plans, since I magically have a Saturday off.

The police officer was shot and killed immediately after killing the American troops, CBS News reported. An official NATO investigation is underway.
According to the Associated Press, The shooter had been recruited by the Afghan Local Police just five days ago. The Afghan Local Police is a network of regional militias backed by the international military alliance and is largely trained by NATO forces.
The attack is the latest in a series of "green-on-blue" attacks by members of the Afghan security forces.
BBC News reports that about 130,000 ("blue") coalition troops are fighting insurgents alongside 350,000 ("green") Afghans. But there is mounting concern over attacks on Nato troops by their Afghan allies.
Earlier this week Voice of America reported that US Ambassador to Afghanistan James Cunningham told reporters that the United States will work very closely with Afghan authorities to prevent these "painful" incidents from happening in the future.
Attacks by international troops have escalated this year; at least 36 foreign troops have been killed by Afghan service members, AP reported.
CBS News reported that the US military, working with Afghan commanders, has implemented an eight-point vetting process to try and identify and exclude Afghan recruits who pose a threat. Neither US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, nor other US commanders have elaborated on any new steps to confront the problem.
Meanwhile, Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar urged insurgent fighters to avoid civilian deaths after 63 people were killed in Afghanistan after a series of suicide bombings.
Omar, who was speaking to the Afghan people ahead of the Eid-al-Fitr festival that follows the holy month of Ramadan, said that the Taliban had successfully infiltrated Afghan security forces, but would "employ tactics that do not cause harm to life and property of the common countrymen".

Grants to help tenants onto property ladder
Council tenants who want to buy their own homes are being urged to apply for £20,000 grants to help them onto the property ladder.
Both Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Council were successful in applying for funding from the Government's £84m Right-to-Buy Social Mobility Fund, which was launched earlier this year.
The two-year funding opportunity, called HomeOwn, is designed to help district council tenants move out of their existing rented accommodation and to buy a home that best suits their needs on the open market.
The scheme enables Babergh and Mid Suffolk to make one-off payments to council tenants, of up to £20,000, as a cash incentive to buy a house for the first time – freeing up a council house for someone else in the process.
Initially the scheme was offered to tenants living in one and two-bed-homes. It has now been opened up to all eligible tenants regardless of the size of their current property.
A maximum of ten tenants from each council area can use the grants but so far only one grant has been successfully applied for.
Former council tenants Andrea Brown and Samuel Bennett are the first tenants to take advantage of the scheme. They moved into their new home in Needham, Norfolk, last month, with their children Skye, seven and Lewi, four.
Miss Brown said: "When we first started looking for a home to buy, we saw this bungalow and with the amount of mortgage we could borrow along with our savings we couldn't quite afford to buy the property.
"Then, luckily for us, about a week later we read in the local newspaper about the HomeOwn scheme and the grant enabled us to buy a home we could only dream about before.
"The application form was extremely easy to fill in and we received a quick decision from Babergh and Mid Suffolk allowing us to have our own home and to free up a council house for someone in need."
Jennie Jenkins, Babergh's portfolio holder for housing, said: "Both councils are delighted that our first family to take advantage of these grants have bought their house and are now enjoying family life in their new home.
"I am so pleased that we were successful in gaining this Government funding. Babergh and Mid Suffolk tenants can now have access to a choice of homes on the open market which they may otherwise have not been able to afford. Anyone who thinks they could take advantage of this offer should contact us immediately."
To apply for the incentive, tenants will need to show that the purchase of a property on the open market will be a sustainable one, they must have a clear rent account for the past 12 months, be purchasing a property that meets their current housing needs and prove that they can re-pay a mortgage.
For further information on this scheme contact Paulina Malinowska, Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Councils' home ownership officer at email@example.com or 01449 724753.

This is a little scary--- I'm joining in on Mrs. Patton's Organization Linky Party & am going to be opening up my cabinet & closet doors to you. Yikes! Hopefully, it won't be TOO frightening. I worked a bit over spring break to get the mess under rein & have reorganized some. I'm fairly happy with what I have going right now, but it could be better.
I have a row of cabinets above the coatrack in my classroom. In the left, I store literacy materials: the teacher materials that I am not currently using, some literacy games, empty bins, baskets, & organizers, etc.
In the right, I have math materials. There are puzzles, math games, attribute shapes, & some other miscellaneous items. In the black tote, I have the 3D shapes stored.
I am lucky that I have TWO full closets. There is one in my room, & one out in the hall. This is the closet out in the hallway. I have books stored in here-- literature circle sets & other theme/subject book baskets. I like to rotate books in & out of the room...the kids feel like they have something "new" to read in our classroom library. I also have geoboards, empty shoeboxes (collecting them for future projects), empty binders & more of those storage bins. Several of the boxes (& the bags) you see are full of items to be sold at our classroom store.
The closet IN the classroom. This is the one I recently worked hard on organizing. It ended up being the place I just stuffed things. You know, open the door a bit, stuff something in, & hope nothing fell out in the process! LOL
I have cleaning supplies, & paint on the top, along with a tray that has a couple extra sets of those big 'ole headphones for my listening center. Construction paper & craft supplies, books, & some office supplies are housed on the other shelves. On the bottom, I have craft supplies, a tub of border, a big tote full of markers (we only use markers on special/certain projects), & a cardboard box with extra student supplies.
Then we move all the bags to the side of the room & can deal with all the stuff later. After storing all the tissue boxes, & taking out the things students will be needing daily, the rest can be stored & accessed later as needed. In the bags, then, are the all the extras parents send: extra folders, notebooks. I do community supplies, so all pencils, erasers, & gluesticks are sorted into their own containers.
I store all of the bags in this cardboard box which fits nicely in the bottom of my closet. When students need another folder, I just go to the box, pull out their numbered bag, and we're ready to go. At the end of the year, I put all the stuff they are taking home in the bag & we're good to go!
And there you have it! That's what I do with all of that stuff. Like I said, it's definitely a work in progress, but I think I'm getting a little closer to where I want to be!
Head on over to Mrs. Patton's Patch & check out the other organization ideas at the Linky Party!
Can't wait to read all the ideas!

If you follow along with my Instagram account you may have noticed that Joe celebrated a birthday recently…I seem to have been constantly baking this week, so had to share some of the cake photos! Joe may have only just turned three, but he knows his own mind so strongly, and was very clear on exactly the kind of birthday cakes he wanted. One with raspberries and cream cheese, and another party cake with chocolate and dinosaurs! He did also ask for cupcakes for breakfast, but I had to draw the line somewhere, so his birthday breakfast below was a very happy compromise (thanks Pinterest!)
Joe's birthday happily coincided with a school inset day and my day off work, so we all went on a trip to the 'dinosaur museum' in Oxford. It is one of his favourite places and he loves to race around, looking at all of the dinosaur skeletons and shouting out their names!
He received a super cape as a gift, and was delighted with it, insisting he wore it around Oxford. A visit to the dinosaur museum dressed as a super-hero was pretty much his perfect day scenario! It was Joe's choice of lunch after the museum and he requested ice cream, so it had to be the G&Ds cafe on Little Clarendon Street. We balanced out the ice cream with the most delicious bagels, and Mia and Joe persuaded the lovely (and incredibly patient) waitress to make them plain bagels with just cream cheese and cucumber (Joe) and plain sweetcorn (Mia). I can't imagine that either of their choices would do very well if they featured on the main cafe menu!
A little after Joe's actual birthday we held a pirate dinosaur themed garden party, complete with pirate ship, jolly roger and real pirate grog (there were dinosaurs too!). We cooked barbeque food, enjoyed the warm weather and Mia and Joe soaked everyone there with a giant waterpistol Joe had received as a gift!
The pirate grog was iced tea, which I made with tea, lemon juice and some old-fashioned style shop-bought lemonade. We had lots of empty homebrew beer bottles which were perfect for filling with the 'grog'. On the morning of the party I just chilled them in a wheelbarrow full of ice, and then at party time the pirate guests could just serve themselves! I also experimented with an alcoholic iced tea by adding a little vodka to the mix (and clearly labelling those bottles, for adult pirates only!)
A pirate party tablecloth made from brown craft paper and a Sharpie marker. You'll have to excuse my artistic efforts…pirate ships are difficult to draw!
Ahoy there pirate Joseph! A slightly grainy photo, as taken from a distance on my phone camera, but I had to capture him on his pirate ship!
And pirate Phoebe, their lovely little cousin, who has just celebrated her own birthday!
With all of the party preparations I opted for a fairly straightforward birthday cake! As requested it was very chocolately and there were dinosaurs. I think Joe had ideas of me sculpting a dinosaur out of sugar paste and icing, but I think it's important to know your limits, and simple is always better! The cake is three layers of devils food cake, sandwiched together with a chocolate ganache and crushed chocolate chip cookie mix. I used the same ganache (with a little more double cream added) to frost the top and sides of the cake, and then topped it with more cookies and of course some dinosaurs.
Happy Birthday Super-Pirate-Dinosaur Joe! Wishing you the happiest little year!

Unit – 5166 Bad Luck Brigade
As proposed by PFC Smith, acting squad leader of unit 5166, I will be reporting the details of today's events as well as a summery of how we expect for the mission to proceed tomorrow.
At 0600 this morning I awoke to find Lcpl Gallion incapacitated by a severe case of food poisoning. Obviously unable to perform his duties, and unaware of how long his condition would persist, it became obvious that for the mission to proceed, plans would need to be adjusted. Pvt Busbey was contacted and instructed to set up a secure communication network with all members of the squad so that a new plan of action could be disseminated. Sqn Ldr Dew, who was apparently already establishing planetside contacts, was able to procure the aid of a local surgeon sympathetic to our cause. He remains on standby in the event that Lcpl Gallion is still not well enough to complete his tasks in the necessary time frame. To further accommodate the situation, HM3 Diez was moved from PFC Arbourne's team to PFC Smith's team to fill in the role as PFC Smith's bodyguard and also to provide medical attention to Lcpl Gallion as needed. Information gathered yesterday evening has provided us with an opportunity to gain control of our high value target. While speaking with him, PFC Smith was able to convince the target that he was working for the UC with intentions of talking PFC Chapman prisoner. Further details of that conversation can be found in Laura Cidney's attached report.
The mission plan is to proceed as follows.
The morning of 030416 PFS Smith, HM3 Diez, Mrs Cidney, and myself will meet with the target and arrange for an appropriate time to seize PFC Chapman. In the mean time, Mrs Cidney will need to convince the target to go back to his room alone with her. The squad will then split into two teams.
Team 1:
During the raid on PFC Chapman's room. Mrs Cidney will be responsible for using a series of prescription drugs, obtained by Sql Ldr Dew, that can be used to sedate the target. Once the target has been sedated, PFC Tafadzwa, who will be positioned in the ventilation shaft just outside of the targets room, will drop a concussion bomb, built from salvaged maintenance parts, onto the soldiers guarding the targets room. PFC Arbourne and Lcpl Gallion will be standing near by. When the bomb detonates, they will proceed into the hall way and further subdue the guards as needed. They will proceed into the targets room using the maintenance pass keycard provided by PFC Arbourne, and Lcpl Gallion will install the device. Once the task is completed they will immediately leave the area, Cpl Fitz will shut down the power to the cassino, and Cpl Fitz, PFC Arbourne, Lcpl Gallion, and PFC Tafadzwa will egress and rendezvous with the pickup ship. If at any point during this portion of the mission
Team 2:
In conjunction with the targets security force. Myself, PFC Smith, and HM3 Diez will move on PFC Chapman's location. While the ultimate goal will be to take PFC Chapman into custody, it will be necessary to delay enough to provide Team 1 with enough time to implant the device in the target. The primary purpose of PFC Busbey, PFC Pridista, Pvt Smith, HM3 Diez, and Myself at this time is to minimize civilian casualties. Once Pvt Chapman is secured. Myself, Pvt Smith, and HM3 Diez will escort her, along with the targets guards, back to his location. The moment the power goes out. Pvt Chapman will begin her attempts to manipulate the targets will. She will convince him to take her to his vehicle, and from there to the pickup ship where men will be waiting to ambush any guards who continue to accompany him.
All remaining squad members will egress to the pickup location. Any team members who are lost or separated and cannot make it to the pickup before 0900 will instead proceed to the Globen Hotel where they will rent room 116 under the alias Erickson. No ID will be required to make the reservation. They will remain there for as long as possible but no longer than 48 hours. If after 48 hours they have not made contact with GAF forces they should proceed with escape and evasion tactics.

Appendix 1: Old Error or Mistake Relief: Deliberate Choice
From 1 April 2010, it is not possible to make a claim for the old error or mistake relief for any period. The relief is replaced by overpayment relief, see SACM12000+. You will only need the guidance in SACM Appendix 1 if you are dealing with a claim made before 1 April 2010.
Where a deliberate choice has been made between two alternatives permitted by the Taxes Acts (such as claiming less than the full amount of capital allowances) there can be no error or mistake in the return.
The chosen alternative may not (with hindsight) prove to be to best advantage of the taxpayer but it is not incorrect. Although the assessment may be excessive, it is not excessive `by reason of some error or mistake in a return'.
Deliberate error
Similarly, no relief is admissible on the ground of a claimed error in the basis of computation of liability if
- the return was made on a basis which, though wrong in law, had been deliberately adopted by the taxpayer and
- it gave a result which, having regard to all the relevant circumstances of the case, was `reasonable and just' (see, in this connection, Carrimore Six Wheelers Ltd v CIR, 1944, 26TC301).

Wind energy must do more to protect eagles
Credit: The Denver Post | January 9, 2017 | www.denverpost.com ~~
Re: "Eagles and wind power can coexist," Jan. 5 letter to the editor.
Tom Vinson, in his letter on wind turbines and eagles, writes, "More than 90 percent of wind projects have zero impact. Of those that do, the vast majority impact a single eagle over 30 years."
While the wind industry has made improvements in the siting of wind farms and consideration of impact to eagles, fatality surveys do not support his last sentence. If there is eagle nesting and foraging habitat nearby, there will be casualties, and optimal sites for wind generation in the West often overlap with such habitat.
This makes it important to continue post-construction fatality monitoring. Compensation for deaths could be made in the form of habitat conservation, acquisition, and improvement. It is harder to predict when a landscape becomes so fragmented and degraded that birds move on to other areas, if they are available.

J. C. Penney Company, Inc. (JCP) is slated to report third-quarter fiscal 2013 results on Nov 20, 2013. In the last quarter, it posted a negative surprise of 91.2%. Let us see how things are shaping up for this announcement.
Factors this Past Quarter
J. C. Penney has been in troubled waters for quite some time and is grappling with waning revenues and higher losses. The company's restructuring initiatives have been crumbling as it is exhibiting no signs of improvement. The company remained in the red with adjusted loss per share of $2.16 in the second quarter of fiscal 2013. The quarterly sales of $2,663 million fell 11.9% year over year.
Earnings Whispers?
Our proven model does not conclusively show that J. C. Penney is likely to beat earnings this quarter. This is because a stock needs to have both a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1, 2 or 3 for this to happen. This is not the case here, as you will see below.
Negative Zacks ESP: ESP for J. C. Penney is -4.84%. This is because the Most Accurate Estimate is -$1.95 and the Zacks Consensus Estimate is -$1.86.
Zacks Rank #3 (Hold): J. C. Penney's Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) lowers the predictive power of ESP. The Zacks Rank #3 when combined with a negative ESP makes surprise prediction difficult. We caution against stocks with Zacks Ranks #4 and 5 (Sell-rated stocks) going into the earnings announcement, especially when the company is seeing negative estimate revisions momentum.
Stocks that Warrant a Look
Here are some other companies you may want to consider as our model shows they have the right combination of elements to post an earnings beat:
Hanesbrands Inc. (HBI) with Earnings ESP of +1.11% and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy)
Lumber Liquidators Holdings, Inc. (LL) with Earnings ESP of +1.39% and a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy)
Michael Kors Holdings Limited (KORS) with Earnings ESP of +1.16% and a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy)

Fans of Insomniac's dynamic duo need not wait for the upcoming PSP and inevitable PS3 chapters to get a new hit of R&C action. Sony's mobile arm has announced the development of Ratchet & Clank: Clone Home for cell phones, returning the characters to the smallest screen this time on their own accord. If you played the original game, subtitled Going Mobile, the pair was zapped into your cell phone via a wicked villain. This time, the crew willingly declares that size doesn't matter so they can clear out fifteen levels of imitators that they do not find flattering.
Clone Home is to offer more weapons than Going Mobile, which included such firepower as the Boarzooka and RYNO. The visuals appear to enjoy some solid tweaks, as evidenced by the screenshots attached to the preview. Take a gander at Ratchet & Clank and clear some space in your handset's memory for the return of the heroic pairing later this year.

A source for thousands of public domain imagesCredit: Pixabay Screen
Content writers should incorporate images into their articles. Pixabay fills a need by offering quality images that are declared to be in the public domain. This means that the images are available for anyone to use for any purpose. Pixabay establishes a sharing site where creators can store their work and publishers can download such photographs, clip art or graphic that they require. These can then be published on commercial sites or used as the starting point for other digital images. Pixabay ensures that people using the images are not violating any licenses.
In the early days of the Internet, adding a photo to a web page was a simple process of finding an image that fit an article, copy the image and publish the post. Now although the publishing process is simpler, the image acquisition process is much harder. Truthfully, in the past many people were violating the digital rights of others, often without knowing it. Now digital rights are very important and publishers can be held liable for violations. There are many stories of unsuspecting publishers being pursued for significant amounts of money simply because a photo was used by someone not authorized to do so.
All content authors should ensure that they publish work that is their own or that they have publishing rights for. This is no different than writers ensuring that they are not guilty of plagiarism. The Internet makes it easy to copy and publish content that is not covered by general use licenses. Publishers should be extremely careful to only use material that they can use without penalty. This would include material created by the publisher, their agents or for which they have clear usage rights. Pixabay fits the latter category: all Pixabay photographs are declared to be in the public domain by the photographers. This means that publishers can download the images and freely use them. Some caution must still be exercised, however.
When images are published with identifiable people or that have trademarks, a release must be obtained. For example, if a photograph contains a person who can be recognized, the publisher must have that person's permission. The same condition applies for trademarks such as an identifiable manufacturer's badge on a car. Pixabay does not store, nor require, releases for images on the site. Publishers should avoid using those images which have identifiable people or brand names, unless obscuring is used. Using image editing software, an image with a brand emblem, for example, could be altered to blur out recognizable items. This is quite an easy step and it protects the publisher.
Since Pixabay images are deemed public domain, they may be used for most any purpose. Unlike many other free to use images, public domain shots can be used on commercial sites. This would include use on revenue sharing sites or personal niche blogs. If required, such images can also be modified without penalty. Modification is not allowed with many digital images, even those purchased from stock libraries. This is not a concern with Pixabay files.
Pixabay is easy to use for publishers. There are over 50,000 images in the repository. Many of these are high quality photographs but graphic images and symbols can also be found. There is a search utility that allows publishers to find images by keyword tag. This facility works well but returns broad matches for some terms. For example, a search for the tag "office" returned photographs of office buildings, a stapler, some workers and a police vehicle. Analysis of the tags showed that the image included "officer" and so was counted as a match. Wildcard searching, ("office*"), is supported. Compound searching for related terms, ("office desk"), is supported but is positional only. Putting quotes around the tags will cause only those images with tags of "office" and "desk" located together to be shown. There does not seem to be a true compound tag facility built into the site. As such, searchers should expect to search on tags which pertain to the desired topic.
Pixabay is supported by user donations and some on screen advertising. The ads are not obtrusive. They display as additional images at the bottom of free image pages and invite the viewer to purchase similar digital files from a commercial source. Although the heading says that such images are available for $1 and up, the minimum listing price observed was $3 and ranged up to $20+. Contributing photographers appreciate links back to their profile and/or comments on their photos but neither action is required. A "wow" button is provided on the image detail page as well. This is akin to the "like" feature found on many web sites.
The site also includes a selection of photographs by camera type. This allows people interested in a certain equipment model to view images created by that model. There are about 38 pages of camera types listed so most people should be able to find a model that is relevant to them. This is a good way to evaluate how a certain camera might perform. Users should realize, however, that many of the photos are taken by dedicated photographers, many of whom are professionals. Your own ability to duplicate images with an identical camera may be difficult.
Images on Internet content are important. A serious publishers should be mindful of the legal ramifications involved with copying. They should use services such as Pixabay to ensure that their images are completely free for use on commercial sites. By virtue of the public domain usage right, the Pixabay images are safe for most uses. The site is gaining in popularity and has traffic of 1.5 million visitors per month. The site is quite young, 2 years as of December 12, 2012. Growth has necessitated server updates. Future growth is likely. Since the use of images with content is so important, and public domain images are best for many blogs, Pixabay is filling a need for many publishers. Try out the service yourself and start adding public domain images to your web sites.
While Pixabay is a good source for images, there are other free photo sites and those that involve low costs. As content publishers, make sure that you have the right to use your images for commercial use.

LIVINGSTON, NJ – On Sunday, Livingston's Temple Emanu-El of West Essex hosted The Klezmer group Tsu Fil Duvids, which is Yiddish for "too many Davids," in a revival concert, which was coordinated by Bobi Littman from the Adult Education Committee, as one of the temple's largest functions of the year. A full-course hot dinner catered by Argyle Market followed the concert.
The upbeat and lively Jewish folk music, in the tradition of the Ashkenazi Jews of Eastern Europe, invited members of the congregation to join in through clapping, dancing, and in one song—singing along.
The ensemble was headed by Dave Goldfarb on clarinet, with Dave Schiff on bass, Dave Sochlossberg on piano, Rob "Dave" Siebert on fiddle, Rich Dave Buchbinder on Melodica, and Beverly Davida Novick on Poyk, and also comprised violin, trumpet accordion, keyboard, and drums.
Throughout the evening, Goldfarb gave historical backgrounds about many of the songs. He explained that Greek and other Eastern European regions influenced the music and that the origin of Klezmer comes from the Hebrew words kle, which means "vessel" in Hebrew, and zemer, which means "song/music" in Hebrew.
"Through time and Yiddish influence, the words were combined to form the genre Kezmer," said Goldlfarb.
He also provided insight into some of the origin and history of the music and said, "Often thought of as "Jewish Jazz," it is actually not as improvised as one would think."
"These types of programs draw from beyond the congregation, and are always a good time," said Robert Ehrlich, who was in charge of lights and photography for the event.
Ehrlich's wife Holli said that she "always loves anything at temple Emanu-El—it is nice enjoying Sunday with temple, family, music and dinner."
Guest Steve Herber said, "We always enjoy the concerts and it's a lovely way to end the weekend."

RAIDERS OF THE LOST ART There seems to be a major problem arising in Egypt and Great Britain. There have been hundreds of recorded art thefts in Egypt. Jonathon Tokeley- Parry is one of the assumed thieves. The thieves steal the art or artifacts to sell to people. Jonathon says that he sells them so they can be saved in people's homes not in poorly guarded museums. This type of problem has been occurring more and more. There are three main solutions. One is for the government to take more control. Two is for Egypt and Great Britain to get stronger laws. The third is to get the United Nations involved. The most valued item Tokely-Parry stole was valued at 1.4 million dollars. The governments are saying that they are destroying clues to older civilizations and it needs to stop.
One solution to this problem would be if the governments would take more control.
If they did they could educate people about the importance of the antiquities and artifacts, which are their cultural history. By doing that it might make people more cautious about getting the art stolen. That also might make people who do steal these things stop. The government could also hire lawyers like Larry Kaye who is fighting for the return of antiques. If they got more lawyers they would have a better chance to get them back.
Right now some of the laws in Egypt are not thought up well. One major problem is that Egypt and Great Britain's laws are different so there is conflict on who is breaking what laws. If Egypt and Great Britain could talk to other countries about their laws before another incident happens they might be able to agree on what should happen with the thief. Or Egypt could make stricter laws on stealing. People would not want to steal as much because there would be stricter consequences.
If none of these solutions work, then probably the final solution would be to involve the United Nations to help with the problem. The United Nations would make it a lot easier to have a court hearing because they would have their own laws instead of two or more country's different laws because of the shift of moving from country to country. It would probably be good for resolving who was guilty or not but it would be harder for the United Nations to stop the thefts. That job is for the government of the country. The United Nations would be very helpful in resolving this issue.
Probably the best solution would be too let Great Britain lend or give Egypt soe money to help prevent further stolen goods. Its not really Great Britains fault that artifacs have been smuggled into Great Britain but if they don't help in some way these occurrences will keep occurring and will bother Great Britain. Therefore if Great Britain would give Egypt money, Egypt could use it to get better security or make sure everyone leaving the country is checked thoroughly. That seems to be the easiest solution if Egypt and Great Britain both agree.
A lot of these solutions would help stop the thefts that have been occurring in Egypt and other countries. Egypt wants the thefts to stop because they are losing clues to their culture in the past They want to keep their own heritage and gain pride and understanding from their past. Hopefully the thefts can come to a stop and countries don't have to risk loosing their heritage or their cultural past.

And boy, was I wrong. These things were not the reason for my symptoms at all. Well, not most of them anyway.
It was a natural and logical choice to choose the Jean Hailes Foundation for Women. Wimminz Stuff. It's what they do. And they do it well. I was lucky enough to get an appointment the week after I rang. And doubly lucky to be introduced to a most excellent doctor, Dr Geraldine Edgely. Geraldine was thorough, going over my family history, my symptoms, etc. and eventually pronounced me a walking cliche of menopause. Nothing like feeling individual!
A thorough physical examination, breast examination and Pap smear were done.
Then she took my blood pressure. The reading was 170/100 mmHg. She took it again at the end of the consult just in case I was suffering a bit of white coat anxiety but it was still way up there. In case 170/100 mmHg means nothing to you, take a look at this:
Yep. Hypertension. Quite bad hypertension. Could-stroke-out-at-any-time bad hypertension. WTF? I've always had quite low blood pressure. In fact in my early 20s I was treated for hypotension (low BP) and my readings were always in the low-normal range. So why do I suddenly have Stage 2 hypertension? I have no idea. Well yeah, bit fat, but not massive. Jeez.
|Yep. This is pretty much how it is.
But I filled the script, went home and immediately stopped eating all the things I love so dearly - no biscuits, lollies, chocolates, cakes - you get the idea. And I dusted off the treadmill. Literally. It was covered in cobwebs!
After four days on the Coversyl I was feeling a bit weird. I had a buzzing feeling all over my body (this is known as paraesthesia). Not unpleasant, a bit like having 3 glasses of wine before you tip over into officially drunk. But I was pretty sure this wasn't how I was meant to be feeling. So I went to see my GP who decided I needed to do home BP monitoring for a week to see if my BP really was that bad. He sent me home with one of these:
|See that reading? In my dreams!
So here we are. Horribly hypertensive. I've had a raft of blood tests, which have all returned normal, my vitamin D is horribly low at 24 and I'm taking a liquid supplement (liquid vitamin D! Tastes like sunshine!), and a women's multivitamin (Dr Steve recommended Swisse Women's Ultivite). I got very excited in Chemist Warehouse at all the things!
I've also had a thyroid ultrasound, a PV ultrasound, and a MSU (mid-stream urine) - all totally normal. Cholesterol a little up but not alarmingly, and I'm not pre-diabetic.
Hypertension is generally a symptom rather than a condition of itself.
But it appears I have idiopathic or essential hypertension. My blood is struggling to push through severely narrowed arteries. It's not good.
So here we are. I'm getting on the treadmill for 30 minutes each day (it probably should be more but it's just really hard to find that time! I'm self-employed, remember? No work - no $$), I'm eating much better and, importantly, much less. No snacks. I had my first glass of wine last night - having gone three weeks without any alcohol. And I probably should stop watching Q&A!
It seems that I've walked right up to the line. And I don't want to cross it.
Menopause stuff can wait. I'm too busy trying to avoid a total eclipse of the heart!

One of my entries for the Imagine FX magazine forum monthly competition.
Title: "Blade Runner"
Description: "Ridley Scott has decided to remake Blade Runner with the advantage of today's SFX. He's looking for a Concept Artist who can best envision what this world might look like."
|Pen and Marker concept illustration
I started with a quick pencil sketch, that I then went over in ink. Once I had erased the pencil, I shaded it with markers, to create my initial concept illustration. When scanned, I then roughly coloured this, as a guide for the larger full piece.
In order to keep the atmosphere without directly copying, I avoided looking at too much reference material from the film. I wanted things to be filtered through my own imperfect memories, that way alterations that creep in hopefully introduce a few unique elements to the otherwise established look and feel. There's a bit of everything in there, for Blade Runner fans. A sushi bar with neon lighting, a cityscape in the background with flames from one of the buildings, an antennae-laden blimp advertising the off-world colonies, a spinner launching or landing, pedestrians with self-illuminating umbrellas, sheets of rain and of course a suspicious looking character in a futuristic trench-coat...

It is now confirmed that Michael Gambon will star in Samuel Beckett's Krapp's Last Tape, at the Duchess Theatre from 15 Sep to 20 Nov 2010, directed by Michael Colgan.
The play was at the Gate Theatre, Dublin, earlier this year.
Every year on his birthday self-absorbed Krapp sits down to record his memories from the past year. But on his 69th birthday he takes a step further into the past. Listening to his old recordings he soon stumbles upon a single tender memory from long ago that sparks his growing regret as he starts to question whether his present lives up to his
Michael Gambon's London stage credits include: "No Man's Land" at the Duyke of York's in 2008; "Eh Joe" at the Duke of York's in 2006; "Henry IV Parts 1 & 2" at the Olivier, NT in 2005; "Endgame" at the Abery in 2004; "A Number" at the Royal Court in 2002; "The Caretaker" at the Comedy Theatre in 2001; "Cressida" at the Albery in 2000; "Tom and Clem" at the Aldwych in 1997; "The Unexpected Man" at the Barbican Pit and Duchess theatres 1998; "Skylight" at the Cottesloe, NT & Wyndham's Theatres in 95/96; "Volpone" at the Lyttelton, NT in 1995. He is also well known for his part in the TV drama "The Singing Detective". His film credits include The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover and four Harry Potter films in which he plays the Headmaster of Hogwarts, Professor Albus Dumbledore.

I have no idea what I'm going to do for the almost four month break, but I am certain of a few things...
- I will probably go to quite some length to try and cure my boredom, including the possibility of watching some television series' that raise questions about my cultural tastes.
- I now have no excuse to comfort eat, like I did when it was getting close to the deadline and everyone sort of lets you off. This said, I did buy 2 pots of Ben and Jerry's Cookie Dough ice cream (they were on offer!) and had a Chinese last night. Something tells me I may be unhealthy....
- I will leave my summer project to the last few days. Regardless of the fact that I am actually working on it as we speak, and am interested in it. Because, if we look at the way I've handled previous summer projects (or, in fact any project), I always leave everything until the last possible minute. So, I wish myself luck, but am not setting my expectations too high.
And if you'd like to see what I've been up to the past 2 months, here are some photos of my finished costume....
And here is a photo of me (and my friend Cara) wearing our costumes that were made for us! :)
This project was a lot of fun, and I can't wait to see what's in store for next year!
Watch this space, guys and gals

D.I.Y. Trusts & Non-Profits
Do you have an idea for a charity or need to set up a trust? The Global Trust Education Network (GTEN), an educator of private individuals, trustees and directors of not-for-profit organizations, announced this week the public launch of the GTEN Forum, a free online community resource to discuss topics such as natural law, organic laws, rights, freedom, commerce, contracts, trusts, asset protection, non-profits, consciousness and conscious creation.
The new GTEN Forum is free online at GTEN.org/forum. The goal of GTEN.org is to provide both the know-how and the network for the awake and aware to accomplish meaningful change.
There are many challenges facing mankind today that make this a pivotal time in history. But all problems, no matter how seemingly immense, are also opportunities when viewed from a different perspective. A measurable shift in consciousness is taking place, and brilliant minds around the globe are working on solutions for how we progress and evolve from here. The GTEN Forum provides an important new platform for education and meaningful community interaction to assist in creating a future that works for all life.
Scientist Tom Campbell, in his May 26, 2014 YouTube video Tom Campbell: The History of Enlightenment From a Scientific Viewpoint, points out that many bright spots of enlightenment throughout history have largely failed to effect meaningful change. What makes today's conscious awakening different, says Campbell, is our ability to communicate through technology with anyone on the planet and propagate ideas across the broad spectrum of humanity. Everyone, says Campbell, with just about any belief system, can plug into the picture that forms from our collective knowledge, and the internet provides the infrastructure to connect us and the means to unify us in our understanding. According to Campbell, we now have the pieces in place to evolve by our interaction, and mankind's evolution can start to accelerate in a cooperative manner.
The Global Trust Education Network (GTEN) is a not-for-profit private trust formed in 2012 to educate individuals in the areas of private and charitable trusts, not-for-profit organizations and conscious entrepreneurship. GTEN helps individuals create and administer their organizations on a solid foundation, without the typical high startup costs of legal fees. GTEN.org offers online webinars on private trusts, trust web structures, exempt organizations, unalienable rights, taxation and private contracts. GTEN.org currently has over 600 active members and provides a vast resource for anyone to competently create, establish and administer his or her vision for the world.
To get involved or learn more, visit GTEN.org/forum

Ahmedabad: Skipper Suryakumar Yadav overshadowed young Shreyas Iyer, who struck his maiden first-class ton, with a 45-ball unbeaten 81 as the duo guided Mumbai to a comfortable seven-wicket victory over Gujarat in the Vijay Hazare Trophy match for west zone here on Friday.
Invited to bat after the opposition captain won the toss, Gujarat managed to put up 257 for seven in the allotted 50 overs, but that did not prove to be enough with Mumbai completing the chase in 42.3 overs at Motera.
During the 100-plus match-winning partnership, 19-year-old Iyer made an unbeaten 105 off 110 balls, his innings studded with five boundaries and four sixes.
While Iyer made a mark with his impressive effort, it was Yadav's assault that led to a quick finish. The captain found the fence eight times, to go with his five sixes. In the face of Yadav's aggression and Iyer's calculative approach, the Gujarat bowlers buckled and none of them could pose any sort of threat.
Batting at number three, the experienced Wasim Jaffer contributed 60 off 76 balls, hitting five boundaries in the process after the Mumbai openers fell early.
Earlier, Rohit Dahiya, coming into bat at number eight, top-scored for the hosts with an unbeaten 55 off a mere 26 balls, his innings comprising four sixes and as many fours. R H Bhatt made 46 off 70 balls while opener S K Patel scored 44 off 66 balls.
Iqbal Abdullah and Saurabh Netravalkar picked up two wickets apiece for Mumbai.

You are a merchant, scurrying to and fro with your assistants through the bustling bazaar district of Istanbul. Your assistants load their wheelbarrows with warehouse treasures, then scurry away to sell them at a premium with rubies being the ultimate reward for their efforts. This is the basic storyline of Istanbul, a fun, family game for 2-5 players that plays easily within an hour.Read More

There are great games, and then there are games with mechanics so smooth and flawless that they border on near perfection. In my home, this near perfect experience would be known as Fresco, a game that is jam-packed with rich theme and simply stunning components. Fresco is a European strategy board game where players are transported back in time to the Renaissance as they become master painters, who are restoring a ceiling fresco in a local cathedral.Read More
Celebrating Advent
As Anglicans who are trying to honor the season of Advent, I thought I'd share a few of the things that we're doing this season in lieu of putting up our tree on Thanksgiving day—not that there's anything wrong with that! In fact, my kids have asked if we can put the tree up *this* weekend and since they'll be on a camping trip *next* weekend—which is when I had planned to put it up—we'll probably do just that. But my early December decoratingRead More

Nerve root damage, spinal fluid leakage and infections characterize some of the side effects of a lumbar laminectomy, according to Spine-health. A lumbar laminectomy is a surgical procedure intended to treat pain due to lumbar stenosis. However, in some cases, complications can ensue after surgery due to a number of factors.
Nerve root damage follows trauma to the spinal nerve root during surgery, according to the National Spine & Pain Centers. Trauma to this nerve doesn't completely recover, leading to persistent nerve pain. Nerve root damage also results in the development of scar tissue around the nerve, and this scar tissue also leads to chronic pain. The likely treatment plan for nerve root damage includes an epidural nerve block, facet joint injections and spinal cord stimulation.
Cerebrospinal fluid leakage occurs due to a dural tear that the surgeon overlooks during surgery, as Resurgens Spine Center explains. If the surgeon doesn't repair the tear, it might not heal. Instead, it continues to leak spinal fluid during the postoperative period, and this leakage can lead to a spinal headache or infection of the spinal fluid. The leakage can close off by itself with time, but a second surgery is necessary if the leakage persists.
Infection after a laminectomy procedure can occur in the incision or spread deeper, affecting the spinal cord and related areas, as Resurgens Spine Center warns. A superficial infection requires antibiotic treatment, but a deeper infection requires an additional surgery to drain the infection.

Gender Reveal Party! Part 1
So, I wanted to do something fun to tell my family what we were having. I know I'm not the first girl to ever get pregnant...nor the last...but I do love hosting and creating a good party; and I just had the itch! :) So, we decided to have a somewhat small
that became rather large cookout on the day we were finding out the gender! This was a big toss-up because our doctor {whom I LOVE} was letting us get a sneak peek at 18 weeks with him doing the ultrasound. I was so nervous that we were not going to get a good look...but boy was I wrong! She's a little vain already! haha! She was staring into the camera, opening her legs oh-so-good {ha!}, and even moving around so we could see all parts of her! {girl's already got a cute little booty} To be in that room, holding on to Brian's hands, it was just so surreal. It's like, "I finally see, more clearly than ever, that a baby girl is growing inside of us because of our love." WOW. Dr. printed us off 12 pictures and we get our video and *hopefully* 3D pics at our 20 weeks scan in a week and a half.
So...on to the party... We invited some in-town family and in-town friends to come over. I didn't want anyone to feel like they had to come since it was short notice and in the middle of the week, but to my surprise, everyone we invited came! Can you believe that? We were both so overwhelmed by our friends and family making the time to come celebrate with us. I just still cannot believe it. So blessed. My wonderful friend Mary even took pictures of the event for us so we wouldn't have to worry about being behind the camera the whole night!
*Ok, now on to what you really want ~ the pictures! I did not get a pic. of everyone who came {sorry!} but we had around 30 people in our home! :)
|My sister got us this frame after we told her we were pregnant. We finally have a good clear picture of Harper's face and body to place in there!
|I had bought a gender neutral golf set, and then painted Harper's name on it when we got home from Dr. He loved it. I also gave him one of those sweet baby cards I've talked about where the baby is writing about the Dad. :)
|Banner I made: Boy Or Girl?
|another picture of the banner I made with scrapbook paper and my cricut
|the voting station I made with cricut letters - guests took out pink or blue M&M's and put them in the jar they predicted. The boy one won!
|Pink or blue wreath I made! The theme was pink and blue H's. Hudson is our boy name.
Part 2 is coming soon with beautiful pictures Mary took for us! You'll see more of how we revealed the gender and name, and my decorations for the party. :) Hopefully I will get those up on Monday!
Happy Derby weekend and Mother's Day weekend!

"Occupy Wall Street Struggles To Make the 99% Look Like Everybody"
Has the New York Times newsroom been taken over by high school students?
Methinks it's worse than that, that there is something far more sinister behind the Times' agenda.
Today we have the City Room spewing sanctimonious drivel in a preposterous puff piece that panders to all the minorities who aren't Occupying Wall Street. New York City is already majority-minority, but that's not good enough for the population replacement fanatics at Amerika's newspaper of record: they want to berate and guilt-trip the all-white OWS crowd into submission for their scandalous, Tea-Party-like lack of diversity. For the sick communist scum at the Times, that many white people in one place at the same time can mean one thing and only one thing: racism.
From the article :

Failing to See How Spineless This Makes Them Look, The NYT Self-Flagellates As Their Minority Overlords Scold Them for the OWS/99% Movement's Lack of Diversity
Posted by Artur at 1:02 PM
1 comment:
The 99% none diverse group demonstrating again'st a corrupt Wall Street is in blatant contradiction to their utopian rainbow fantasy. ( It wasn't meant to be like this) After 40 years of their propaganda being beamed directly into our living rooms and their total control over academia i.e brainwashing our children minds with thir filth. evolutionary determined Human behaviour has not changed nor can it be changed.
