Springing in Love
Sadly, I didn't really get to enjoy it as I would have liked, since I had to spend most of the afternoon inside working on a paper, then evening in class. Fortunately, the paper is about a movie I really love, An Angel at My Table (if you haven't seen it, you've just gotta! It's by the same woman who directed The Piano.)
So, in protest, I put on my new shorts (the product of an overall less-than-fruitful trip to Beacon's Closet this weekend. Seriously, why do I bother???), somethin' white and roomy, and dreamed up a world where I wouldn't have to eventually change into something a little more apropos of sitting in a drafty classroom for three hours, emerging well after sundown to a long cold subway ride home.
Speaking of new things, I went hog wild in Sephora this weekend and splurged on some glorious new perfume.
Falling in Love, by Philosophy. After smelling it for the first time last summer (sorry Amy I touched your stuff), I decided immediately that this was pretty much all I wanted to smell like, ever again. It's so sweet and fruity and warm and makes me think of ripe blackberries and sand between your toes.
It's taken me this long to finally break down and just BUY the stuff, I have such an absolute terror of purchasing new, shiny, silly things (old, shiny, silly things, now that's another story), even though at $15 I'm pretty sure it's one of the cheapest things you can find in that stinkin' place...

My, you are a lucky lady it only cost that much!
I've known exactly two perfumes I've ever wanted to positively reek of: Marc Jacobs' Ivy and l'air de rien which is Jane Birken's creation. One is discontinued, the other I could finance my summer wardrobe with. Fuck my life, man.
Those sleeveless blouses (especially striped ones) always remind me of my mom. Actually, you are dressed exactly like my mom in her early twenties. Loves it.

Sunset: I don't have too many tips, since I'm actually pretty hopeless when it comes to picking scents...but maybe I'll do a little post on that soon?
E.K.: I can honestly say that it was completely incidental! I'm too broke to buy proper shelves so I have all my LP's lined up on the floor, and I always have to move a stack to take my photos. Space Oddity just happened to appear...but I wont say I wasn't pleased!
CAITLIN: Man, I can't believe I've never been to that Beacon's Closet (the OTHER Beacon's Closet!) I used to live so much closer to it than I do now...someday, someday.

That's so funny! Bowie records always add charm to a photo. My wife and I had taken photos of our apartment. One image was of our record player and records and Low by Bowie happened to be clearly visible!

The built-in memory is 2GB and is expandable through a microSD card slot, which supports memory cards of up to 4GB capacity
i dunno about u guys, but im kinda put off by the screen size. why not have a 2"+ screen? it's great for texting and reading messages. if you want to have a better view of videos, you can just set it in landscape mood. there's no problem about that. but all in all, it's a great innovation. i have an E2 and im planning to have this one as my next ROKR.
take the lg concept of touch sensitive to the extreme eh, the whole gdamn keypad! haha
Moto! lets see how will they brag about this on commercial.
why...this phone sure looks awsome..
but motorola Roker E8 cant be like iPhone...
screen is way to small...I hope the next Roker E10 is going to be better...
to @sami, I think this phone is very good. One side can have 2 functions. SS has a similar phone but need both sides to perform 2 functions. I think this is better. Motorola will has another best seller soon. For sure.
i'm thinking about this to..
well, i think that the keypad light acoarding to the function that you're using in the phone...
it's like if you're using media player, the keypad lights the stop/pause/play and on...
if i'm not wrong =D
sry for the bad english ^^
this phone is very good, moto is working well again =D
i think it funny looking phone. what about its
key pad. can any body tell how does it work.
now this is what i call as innovation.. apple u arent the sole make making innovations ...
"Motorola Razr 2 V8" has internal memory 2 Gb on board. "Motorola Rizr Z8" has slot external memory support 32 Gb.
To vegita,
WHY!it's bec.the purpose is to expand the memory,so 2 plus 2 is equals 4,now do you understand!! use your brain!!!
to nicksti, but in most cases, internal memory will run faster than external memory
Yes you can by always including a card slot. But honestly unless fixed memory is cheaper than a memory card slot from a manufacturer standpoint I would always omit big internal memory.
Funny how people are questioning the 2GB on board AND the card slot, when the N91and W950 came out people were complaining how they werent expandable, cant no-one be pleased??
I think the 2GB also is a strange spec. It will only drive the price of the phone up when you can just add support for SD High Capacity memory which goes beyond 2GB.
A wide screen is better for watching videos than a long screen. Plus it will make the phone shorter and more compact feeling.
If they squeezed the Z10 camera in this and took the 2GB internal memory out to save some money this would really pop. And put a nice external speaker in it.

EDS Awareness Train.
Welcome to the very first charity/awareness train brought to you by Charity Scraps! If you are a kit designer and wish to participate in future charity/awareness scraps please feel free to join us by clicking the above hyper link. This time we have decided to bring awareness about a disease called Ehlers-Danlos National Foundation. Most of you have probably never heard of this before, and you should probably be thankful for that because that means that you most likely do not know anyone suffering from Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS). I had never heard of it either until I began scrapping, then I met a lady who has it. She is a wonderful person who helped me a great deal to get started, very patient and kind. The pain this condition brings to her and others like her is so hard, nothing anyone does helps, it is totally disabling. Anything you can do to help, however small will be so greatly appreciated. Please take a moment to go to the Ehlers-Danlos National Foundation website to learn more about the disease and how you can help. Please do consider making a donation to the Ehlers-Danlos National Foundation. You can make donations directly at the Ehlers-Danlos National Foundation website. Don't forget we are all in different time zones, so if no kit is present call back later. I hope you enjoy the kit! Have a fantastic day/night where ever you are, take care! TTFN! The preview and links are below! Happy scrapping :) G'night! Pink xxx My mini kit - Full Size 300dpi Snagable here...

Looking for a neat way to set up your classroom centers? Do you give your centers names and do you provide center directions? Are these center signs on paper and simply taped on the wall or table? You know what happens then, right? The signs fall off the wall, get peeled off the table, get lost in a pile of papers, get written on, etc...... To avoid these things from happening, I use acrylic sign holders. All I do is print out the signs (or hand write/draw them) and slip them into an acrylic holder! I like to use the free standing slanted letter-sized sign holders. But I've used the straight up free standing holders too.....especially if I have 2 centers one either side of a large table. I can put 2 signs (one for each center) inside the holder, facing outward, of course. I place the holder in the middle of the table, with the appropriate sign facing the center that goes with it. Acrylic wall sign holders work great too. However, you still have the possibility of it falling off the wall if you don't adhere it properly.
Just thought I'd share this short post. Here's a photo of one of my signs in an acrylic holder.

Love triangles are a tradition of the teen genre. Hell, they're a tradition of fiction in general. It's a pretty easy method for creating an enraptured fanbase, as well as something that instantly propels a modern television series into pop culture. But after just eleven episodes, it really feels like Dawson's Creek has played out the Dawson/Jen/Joey triangle, especially where Jen is concerned. This is another episode involving Dawson pining after Jen, once again creating some elaborate ruse to get close to her. In the process, the show sifts through themes that are already repetitive, and again Dawson is portrayed as a manipulative asshole.
The episode sees Dawson drag an oblivious classmate into an awkward double date with Jen and Cliff, creating an annoying pissing contest in which Dawson competes for Jen's affections at the Capeside carnival. When his date, Mary Beth, stumbles upon the ruse, he horribly lies to her again, contriving yet another story in order to keep her around. It's another ugly manipulative streak appearing within Dawson, going against his earlier pledge to stop treating his life like a movie and orchestrating the actions of his friends. Continuity is still flailing wildly on this show, and it's really beginning to bug.
The triangle may work on a superficial level, but struggles to be anything deeper. The same isn't so true of the burgeoning Dawson/Joey/Pacey triangle, Joey and Pacey sharing an amusingly flirtatious subplot here that immediately steals the show. Dawson and Jen's 'thing' is essentially based on the idea of attraction -- Dawson liking this perky, blonde, experienced outsider, and Jen digging this fumbling, awkward and apparently sweet-natured goober. Joey and Pacey, on the other hand, are rapidly discovering new layers to their personalities, experiencing feelings that they never thought they would share for each other. Right now it's sudden and new, but the attraction is palpable, and the two of them have a relaxed, easy banter that far outweighs the doomed puppy love of Dawson and Joey. It's nice.
Double Date is half a good episode -- one half neatly experimenting with the stale romantic entanglements already set up, the other still in deep with said entanglements as they linger around the corners of the show like a ghost that just won't go away. C+

Flame lettuce, spinach, and swiss chard. A few more weeks and I can just step out the back door with a pair of scissors when I feel like having a salad. Yard Food is the best.
I saved the best for last. Anti-blue ball crack(ers) from Yeah, that Vegan Shit. They are crack-like in nature, but I never did ask J if he feels they'd be a remedy for blue balls. (J? Want to chime in here?) If I could reinvent myself as a food blogger, I'd love a blog name like Yeah, that Vegan Shit. You know there's a story behind that one. The best I can do right now is "Pinchin' a Loaf with Jess," which may not be the best appetite stimulant. Plus, then I'd have to bake a lot of bread, and who has time for that noise?

Trundling along improves both health and mental acuity. It also distracts the monkey mind nicely: big bonus. And knocking out 5-6 miles while checking email and noodling on social media = priceless.
I chose a LifeSpan TR1200-DT3 Standing Desk Treadmill ($999) with free delivery from Amazon. It arrived in four days. Awesome.
LifeSpan rates this model for up to 42 hours of striding a week. The company designed this work horse to go slow and steady, maxing out at 4mph. Some folks pace on cheaper run/walk models, but that bumps up the risk of the motor burning out, I've learned.
I wanted to "buy once, buy decently" on the equipment getting the most wear and tear. Then I hacked the desk (bespoke models start at $479 for plasticky designs. We built* a tier onto my existing worktop: this cost $95, because I wanted simple lines and a reasonably attractive pine laminate. But folks have found solutions as cheap as $22.
Other possible cost considerations, if you don't already have this kit:
- External monitor for a laptop and appropriate cables ($266 for me, but, again, I splurged a little)
- External keyboard
- Keyboard wrist wrest to prevent chafing ($19)
- Silicon belt lubricant ($15)
I have trouble typing and handling a coffee cup at more than 2mph, but I can crank over 3mph comfortably while reading or watching a movie. I expect both those speeds will boost with experience.
Best of all, I can't wait to hit my desk every morning now.
Miles to go before I sleep?
Yeah! Bring it!
*We are not super-handy types. But we combined Parsons Legs and Waddells straight-leg top plates with a 3/4" x 2' x 4' sheet of pine laminate. Home Depot cut the legs and tabletop to suit, then we screwed everything together. I sanded, stained and top-coated the sucker. Bam!
Researching the ergonomics proved the hardest part (there's a lot of conflicting intel out there), as well as double-checking our math and measurements (not a strong suit). With the shopping and the staining, the whole process worked out to 4-5 hours total. For me, that's time well spent to have an attractive custom build nearly $400 less than the cheapest official treadmill desk I could find.

I'd like to say that it's because I'm hard-of-hearing and 80% of the time I'm not wearing my hearing-aids, and that's why I'm awful at listening to my body... but it's not. Actually it has absolutely nothing to do with having a hearing-loss. Most of the time I just plain ol' ignore whatever my body is telling me. For this post I thought it'd be neat to write down some of the things my body has told me:
You need to crack your knuckles right now. Do you feel that crazy stressful ball of tension built-up? Yes, well, release it before your hands completely stiffen.
You've been sitting too long in one position. Your femur feels like it's going to break doesn't it? Well that's because you've been sitting too long while you waste hours on twitter and facebook. So either you adjust a little, or your femur will continue to pinch like it's on the verge of breaking.
Did you really have to fly over that pothole in your wheelchair like that? Really? Because now your tailbone is slowly turning bluish-purple like a bruise. Yeah you better be thankful that no one can see it, because it's not a pretty sight.
Oh, my, did you not know your back could sound like it's crunching down on raw carrots with the way you just cracked your back? Do you think maybe it's time twist your trunk from side to side? No - you don't think so? Okay well don't come crying to me like I didn't warn you!
What's that? Your shoulder hurts? Well, Miss Smarty Pants, did you not think your shoulders wouldn't be strained when you climbed up the counter and hung from the cupboards? Oh - I'm so glad that those CoCo Puffs were worth it.
Your rib hurts? Well next time when you sneeze try not sneezing all of your brains out!
What's that you say? Only my body talks to me like that? No, no, no. You listen to your body the next time it talks, and you get back to me with what you hear!
The thing is I ignore those things. And off the top of my head there are several reasons why I ignore those things:
1. Not serious "enough."
Having been through multiple osteotomies, endless muscle spasms post-op, and a rod sticking out of my skin -- the everyday chatter of my body just doesn't strike me as something I need to put the brakes on my life for. Does that make it right? No it doesn't. It just means that I (think) I know my body well enough that I have the ability to pick & choose.
2. I have things to do and places to be!
If I were to pause every time my body complained, I would really be slowing myself down. And for someone who always has her power wheelchair cranked to the fastest speed - that is not something I'm ready to adapt to. When I hear a weird sound, or my knee locks (yet again), I might stop and think about what it was. And quickly evaluate in my head: okay so that wasn't a fracture, moving right along now...
3. Because I just don't know what to do.
Okay so my back sometimes cracks in weird ways, and the way I crack my knuckles makes it really questionable as to whether or not my bones are (actually) brittle. But I do those things because they make my body feel better, I am honestly not sure how else to handle that tension or what my other options are for some of the gripes my body vocalizes.
I'm not telling you to totally ignore your body, or to totally succumb to its every beck and call either. (Because if I did that I would be floating on a waterbed, living in some tropical country, and living life as a Mermaid). What I am saying is that we need to each recognize that our bodies do react to the things we put it through with our everyday living. Get to know those reactions, get comfortable with recognizing what is serious and what's not, be okay with the fact that our bodies may not always talk back to us with a response we want to hear.

Demonstrate how a combination of materials can be used together to show a concept. Feedback from groups. Numeracy Teacher Boxes Key Understandings Consider the different ways that materials can be used across a variety of concepts and stages (covered today with Number Fans). Materials can be used in isolation, or in different combinations to demonstrate a concept. It is powerful for children to have the opportunity to show their understanding of a concept using a variety of equipment. One piece of equipment to show a concept for one child may not be as meaningful as it is for another child. Meaningful and Engaging Group Boxes Relevant and meaningful activities – what does this look like? Use to consolidate, maintain and revise knowledge Introducing activities as part of your tumble Keep it simple and varied – drip feed and rotate activities Examples... Strand Maintenance Strand maintenance activities included once a week per group as part of maths tumble. Important that strands are not taught in an isolated unit and then not revisited until the next year. Strand maintenance activities enable students to apply, practise and consolidate their learning over time. Strand box – introduce different strand maintenance activities as they are taught through the year. (Share examples) Figure it out resources www.nzmaths.co.nz https://www.tes.co.uk/ www.primaryresources.co.uk Plenaries End of session – 5 minutes 'Wrap up' learning - student reflection Students volunteer to share/explain findings Derive the LI at the end of the lesson Formative Assessment - where to next? Teacher Reflection How could I improve this lesson next time? OVERALL, DID THE CHILDREN LEARN WHAT I EXPECTED THEM TO LEARN? Spot the error Show a deliberate mistake with a similar calculation. In pairs: Spot the mistake Give the correct answer Suggest why the mistake may have been made and what could be done about it e.g Mary says that 46 + 37 = 73. What did she do wrong? Peer / Self Evaluation (DICE) How did you ...? What did you use to ...? What other materials could you have used? Why? Could you have worked it out another way? Which way was the best way? Why? Block It! (TPS) In Pairs: Students tell each other: 1 thing I learnt 1 thing I already knew 1 question I want to ask (Post-it note to record) Then feedback to class Milk Bottle Tops Place red card inside. Turn over. Traffic Lights After a group session, use wooden pegs with names OR Colour in the traffic light in exercise books I don't get it. I understand most of it. I understand this. In groups of three (who you have not already worked with today), you have 10 seconds each to tell your group something that you will take away with you today. Future PD What future PD would YOU like? e.g how to teach a particular concept e.g how to use a certain piece of equipment e.g anything else you would like help with to assist your teaching practice Please record on the sheet provided

ASBURY LOVE: Interwoven
Interwoven is a shop located in downtown Asbury Park, New Jersey offering a curated selection of men's and women's apparel and accessories. The buyers at Interwoven seek to work with artisans, true craftspeople of their trade. Most of the brands we carry are discovery brands that people may be unfamiliar with. When working with more recognizable brands, we meticulously edit the assortment and only offer our customers what we ourselves love and believe in. We are passionate about traveling, meeting new people, experiencing new things—and finding great new people to work with!
How and when did you get your start? I mean, if we wanna go waaayy back...I'd say I always had an interest in the experience of shopping and how it could serve as an escape. When I was young, on family vacays, each of us kids would pick something we wanted to do for that day. My perfect day would consistently involve shopping and ice cream (not much has changed). I'd observe the interactions, the displays, the products, the whole experience. I guess I'm a bit of a retail dork, but it's just who I am. As I got older, I made the decision to abandon those childhood proclivities and decided to make the adult decision to go into nursing. As my mom would always say, "it's a stable job!" But, I started paying attention to myself and my desires and I realized I was on the wrong path. So, I transferred to FIT and things started to click. I lived there for a while, worked with interior spaces, retail spaces, and then a bunch of stuff in between and here I am now! Living in AP, owning Interwoven (1-downtown spot and 1-in Storehouse on the boardwalk). I'm making my childhood self proud everyday. Plus, I'm pretty sure the nursing profession is better off without me.
Where do you draw inspiration from? Pretty much everything I see and every person I interact with is inspiring, but honestly any time I travel I get the most inspired. I think being inspired has more to do with the eyes you view with, rather than what you are looking at. When I am on vacation, I am totally present and I am enjoying my surroundings more than worrying about what I have to do next. This full on focus provides endless amounts of things to draw inspiration from. It might be the color of an old door, a great meal, or an unexpected encounter with a stranger. You know how home looks different when you get back from vacation even though nothing changed? It's exactly that feeling, you step away and can appreciate what is right in front of you after you've been away from it. Changing environments awakens our senses and those senses are essential to any creative endeavor.
Why did you choose Asbury Park? It just felt right...the people, the place, the vibe. I couldn't imagine being anywhere else. It feels like a tight-knit community all while welcoming thousands of new folks each season. It's expansive in its quaintness. That's what I like best.
Describe your perfect day in Asbury Park? Most of my days are crammed with all business happenings - planning, talking to people, emails, etc...so my days off are probably going to sound pretty lame, but I revel in the serenity of that lameness! They're super relaxing and that's what I require every once in a while. Coffee (at home) then either a boardwalk run or a hot yoga class. I'll then either meet up with a friend at the pool ( David gave me a pass to The Asbury, but not sure I can mention this here), beach (all the way north) or for lunch (currently loving Cardinal and Talula's). This is normally followed by one of the three things-taking my dogs for a walk, sitting and reading on my porch, and/or a bike-ride to either Cookman Creamery or the Cone Zone for sprinkles with some ice-cream. Once the hubs gets home from his J-O-B, we'll get back on our bikes and figure out where we're going for dinner (Medusa has been one of our top summer favs-delicious salads, pizza and sides). We then head to the boards for a lil walk and then back to our house (that I adore) and our furry family. Living in Asbury is amazing and as you can see, we are surrounded by delicious food options that sorta consume my day. Sorry, not sorry.
- What is your ideal summer style? My vintage Wrangler jean shorts (with the sickest dip mark on the back pocket), my apricot mules (from the shop), a head scarf, hat or braids (I'm getting so close to shaving my head to avoid the dread of dealing with my hair in the summer heat), my Krewe sunnies, and any top that I can get away with without having to wear a bra (real talk). This is all *if I don't have a bikini on*.

Day 10 Challenge - The Laundry Room (Catching Up!)
I really intended to just skip this room. We're planning to remodel it this spring - paint, add a window, new floor covering, move things around a bit, the whole nine yards. So I thought, "What's the use?" But then, I've been stuck at home the past three days and spent just enough time in there that I could stand it not longer!!
So the pics may not show a lot of change, but at least I know it's clean and as organized as it can be at this point.
Here are the before pics:
Not sure why two people need so many coats and sweaters, but I'll worry about getting rid of some of these after spring gets here!
Yes, that's bug poison and spray paint in the reach of children!! I should know better, expecially with my grand children.
And after:
I may be in trouble for this one - I just tossed most everything!
Not much change here, except all the hats are actually on the hat rack!
All cleaned up and ready to work!!
Note the lack of shelves - yet again!
Not too much change here either, but I did move some stuff that belonged elsewhere.
The top basket is laundry items, the second is gloves, mittens, sock hats and umbrellas. I use the orange bucket when I mix up my homemade laundry detergent, which I haven't done for a while, but plan to do in the near future. So I'll keep the bucket for now.
Now on to what I really need to be doing!!

text: I'm attempting to use a Canon Optura 300 MiniDV camcorder as a webcam for Skype on a current-generation Intel Mac Mini, running Mac OS X 10.5.6 Server with the latest release of Skype. Connected via Firewire (1394a 6 to 4 pin) Skype recognizes the camera without any problems and the image is crystal clear, but it does not recognize the camera's built-in microphone as a sound input option. Testing with iChat, Apple's software does recognize the on-camera mic as sound input (and passes-through fine), but it never actually appears as an input option in the System Preferences' Audio panel, which I think is the root of Skype's problem. The Optura, with a wide-angle lens attached, gives us a wider field of view than our external iSight, making it more useful for showing off our newborn, from the comfort of our living room (without having to huddle around the MBP), to friends and family currently far afield. (Plus, since the Mini in question is our media server, we can Skype via our HDTV.) Does anyone know of a (software) work-around? As far as I can tell, Soundflower isn't an option, as iChat hijacks the video feed. Thanks!


text: I think it may be important to remember that Trump isn't destroying art (though who knows, maybe he thinks he is)... he's just cutting government funding for it. While I don't like it, and I think spending the money on that sort of thing is a long-term benefit, it's hard to make the case for it being "essential" spending (but why must all federal spending be "essential"? an argument for another day). But yes, I'm much more concerned about the effect of the budget on the elderly and the poor while we pointlessly shift more money into the military, continue to let the ultra-wealthy enjoy pointless tax-breaks, and pointlessly freak out over the debt and deficit over some misplaced "think of the children!" logic.

Jerry Morris was an epidemiologist who demonstrated the health benefits of exercise. Until shortly before he died of pneumonia and kidney failure he was working in his office at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine on a regular basis, the school from which he never fully retired, but where, as emeritus professor of public health, he continued to write papers and supervise research. He joked that he was probably one of the oldest ever recipients of a Department of Health research grant, which he received in his nineties.
Jeremy Noah Morris was born in Liverpool, the son of Nathan, a Hebrew scholar and linguist, and Ann née Yoselofsky, Jewish immigrants who had escaped the Czarist pogroms in eastern Poland. The family soon settled in Glasgow. Jerry always identified himself as a Glaswegian and he proudly never lost the accent. He would talk about the poverty in which he was brought up, and how this influenced him in later life. In an oft told story, his lifelong interest in exercise and physical fitness was imbued in him at a young age by his father who would take him and his brothers for long and brisk walks on a regular basis, rewarding him with ice cream. He was one of three boys, his brother Isaiah, also a doctor, was killed in Palestine in 1948 during the War of Independence; his brother Max became one of the most influential teachers and left wing thinkers of his generation, later president of the National Union of Teachers, and who died in his nineties.
Having first graduated from the University of Glasgow, the family moved to London in 1928, and Jerry graduated from UCH in 1934. The first three years of his working life were spent in the public health department in Nottingham, where he developed an early passion for understanding the causes of rheumatic heart disease in the young, and the start of his commitment to uncovering health inequalities.
He joined the Royal Army Medical Corps in 1941 and spent the years of the Second World War in India and Burma. He claimed to have been the first doctor to have used penicillin shortly after it had been made available there, in a camp hospital he ran in the Assam swamps. He rose to the rank of lieutenant colonel.
Shortly after returning to the UK, and an indication of his already flowering reputation and expertise in epidemiology, he was appointed to the Medical Research Council (MRC) in Mill Hill on a fellowship. In 1947 he completed his diploma in public health medicine at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, and won the Chadwick prize. In the mid-1950s he was appointed professor of social medicine at the London Hospital for eight years, but he then returned to the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine where he remained until he was "99 and a half". Alongside his continued research and prodigious academic writings he developed and oversaw a new programme for the training of doctors in public health medicine. In 1957 he published a widely-used textbook on the epidemiology of non-infectious disease (Uses of epidemiology, E&S Livingstone, Edinburgh and London).
Early in his career he was appointed director of a newly developed 'social medicine division' of the MRC and remained in that position, working out of both the London Hospital and subsequently the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, until his 'on paper' retirement in 1972.
At an early stage his relationship with Richard Titmuss and Brian Abel Smith flowered, and he was able to play a key role in health and social policy developments throughout his career. Jerry is reported as saying that this relationship generated what was really the earliest systematic research that identified the social contribution to the development of disease. His first major research, and possibly his most compelling, was into the relationship between exercise and heart disease, and he famously compared the incidence of coronary heart disease in bus drivers with bus conductors, showing unequivocally the beneficial impact of regular exercise. He was able to cut through the research fog and implement simple measures such as the waistband size of the trousers of the conductors and drivers to demonstrate the prime relationship between exercise and heart disease rather than to the relative size of the waist. In Simon Kuper's revealing article in the Financial Times (11 September 2009), Jerry relates not only how painstaking his approach to this, and in fact all, research was, but also the detailed three-year long analysis (before the age of computers); he also describes the time he and invited sceptics challenged and again challenged the data before publication. There was general shock and disbelief at the hypothesis on the work's publication in the Lancet in 1953 (Nov 21 265 [6795]:1053-7; Nov 28 265[6796]:1111-20), and it was many years before the impact began to be felt in the habits and daily lives of many people in the developed world. It is perhaps not surprising that Kuper decided to entitle his article 'The man who invented exercise'.
He smoked regularly until he saw Sir Richard Doll's [Munk's Roll, Vol.XII, web] report pre-publication, and gave up (with some difficulty) and at that time also took up jogging. He claims to have been the first person to regularly jog on Hampstead Heath, and would take quiet pleasure in later years by the numbers of people now doing the same. Despite this he felt that successive governments had done too little to encourage exercise in any meaningful way, and thus addressing what he considered the catastrophic Western epidemic of obesity, both in children and adults. Only recently he was writing of the importance of targeting exercise at the burgeoning elderly population as a major public health initiative.
Jerry Morris received many awards, including a CBE in 1972. Some colleagues have felt that he was insufficiently recognised by the establishment in this country, although Jerry himself never subscribed to this view, being a retiring and somewhat diffident man (although not when it came to giving his view on important issues of the day, be they research related, political or how good the newest detective thriller was). He was most proud of being awarded, together with his colleague and friend Ralph Paffenbarger [Munk's Roll, Vol.XII, web], the first gold medal in sports science by the International Olympic Committee.
He practised what he preached, and his daily jogging only stopped when his feet let him down. Thereafter he swam every day, including on Christmas day. It was only in the last but one year of his long and productive life that he stopped swimming as he found it difficult to get into the pool without assistance and he was embarrassed when other swimmers would rush over to help him in and out of the pool.
He was a committed member of the Labour party and was proud to have played a part in influencing social policy, although he generally had a poor opinion of politicians and did not feel that successive Labour governments had made much impact in those areas he was particularly interested. He broke with the party after the invasion of Iraq and remained disenchanted until his death.
Right up until he died Jerry Morris maintained a weekly routine that could only inspire awe. His sharpness of mind could cause a slight frisson of fear as he would interrogate one on the latest article in the BMJ, the latest Philip Roth novel, the latest fudged government initiative (which he usually and pithily dismissed as 'disgracefully inadequate' or 'a scandal'). He also wanted to talk regularly about the latest review of the latest opera in the Guardian, the latest David Hare play, all aspects of politics including, from his hospital bed at the Royal Free Hospital, the Post Office Worker's strike and the British National Party, and the latest Donna Leon detective novel. On a personal note, if I was disappointing him with my lack of knowledge about the latest issue he could be distracted by my producing good quality chocolate (his secret vice), not to be shared with anyone.
In his funeral oration, his son David said that, in addition to his regular trips to his office at the School, he took his daily exercise, latterly on his exercise bike (at least 60 minutes per day) and regular trips to the theatre (his last play was the Pitman painters at the National Theatre), the opera (his last opera visit was to a performance of Don Carlo at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, in September), or concerts, his last concert being to a performance of Mendelssohn's Elijah - a favourite. In addition to this every week he read the BMJ, The Lancet (cover to cover), The New England Journal of Medicine, The Times Literary Supplement, The New Yorker, the Guardian daily, The Observer, and Radio Times (he was an avid listener to Radio 3). This did not take into account the academic papers, the research theses and reports. And then there was his dependence on good detective novels. And of course, the latest novel de jour, and of these he was reading at least three a week until his death.
He was married for 58 years to Galia (née Schuchalter), who died in 1997. He is survived by two adopted children, Julie and David, and predeceased by an adopted son, Myron, who survived the holocaust. ( Myron was actually Galia's half-brother, her parents having divorced and her father having remarried and settled in Eastern Europe before the war.)
A man of very few vices, he led his life practising what he preached, setting an enormously high standard to everyone fortunate enough to come in contact with him. He was the liveliest of companions and the kindest and cleverest of men.

President Reagan proposed a bad bargain this week. By vetoing legislation to strengthen the Clean Water Act, he was urging Congress to trade off clean water to save some money. The fact that he waited until after Election Day suggests that voters don't want such a deal.
And Congress doesn't want it either: What Mr. Reagan rejected passed the House and Senate without a single no vote. Clean water is a national commitment.

Faulty electrical systems are the common causes of fires occurring in various locations like in the recent fire incident in Newtown. According to investigators, electrical causes probably caused the fire in a law firm. Fortunately, professionals like test and tag Sydney extend their services to different parts of the state.
Whether the fire is caused by faulty electrical wiring or faulty appliances, testing and tagging will determine electrical systems that may start the accident. Furthermore, it can keep you from a lot of problems that affect you, your business, and other people like the following.
Fines and lawsuits. Authorities set rules and regulations for everyone's safety. They are stricter on businesses because of the number of individuals they are responsible for. Hence, they charge fines for companies that don't comply with their regulations, such as passing test and tag assessments. When fire incidents occurred, they may also receive lawsuits from employees and other individuals affected by the incident.
The inconvenience of investigations. Investigations are usually held at establishments that experienced fire to obtain their insurance coverage. While this procedure is indicated in the insurance provider's policies, the process can be inconvenient for business owners. Instead of reconstructing the business site, they still need to wait for the investigation to end before they can do anything to restore their businesses. Total investigations will bring out the main fire cause, which will also unveil failing test and tag result or not undergoing testing at all.
Causing problems to employees. Fire incident will cease business operations temporarily or permanently. Keeping the business from operating means no job for its employees and can be inconvenient for them. Although they may be compensated, money will just drain out from their savings without even noticing it. Furthermore, they don't know whether the company can still offer their jobs back or not. Employees will be back to square one in finding work in today's time when looking for a job is not that easy.
Property damages to adjacent establishments. Fires may only start in a single establishment, but may spread out to other sites and inconvenient other property owners. Similarly with employees, other individuals may be compensated for property damages, but they also need to establish their businesses or properties from scratch. Imagine all the time wasted on the consequences of an accident that appliance testing could have prevented.
Tarnished reputation. Words spread fast and rest assured that other individuals will know if the company failed to comply with testing and tagging regulations. They will think of the company as an establishment that don't care about their employees and other individuals. Remember that a workplace and business can be reconstructed or restarted. However, a tarnished reputation can't be fixed immediately. Entrepreneurs need to gain again everyone's trust before they can gain profit again from their businesses.
Fire incidents' damages go beyond physical damages. It will not only be inconvenient from entrepreneurs, but also to other individuals affected by the incident. Consult an expert in test and tag to ensure your appliances are always safe to use.

Life in the Mountain – Fraser's Hill, Malaysia Trip #4July 31, 2008 at 6:19 pm | Posted in itchy backside | 1 Comment
Tags: Bugs, Malaysia, Nature, Travel
As mentioned before, our last trip to Fraser's Hill was not very fruitful in terms of the number of bird species seen. Many birds were not seen this time round for whatever reasons I do not know, even the team from Singapore that came out first for the bird race had only over 70 bird species on their list. Certainly hope it was not a sign of declining bird species due to global warming. 😦
Anyway, walking and driving around looking for birds, I was hoping to be able to see my four legged shelled friend again. Years ago, when we weren't driven up the hill by friends and had to walk around the whole Fraser's Hill, we had a very surprise encounter. Tired from all the walking up and down with binoculars, spotting scope and my bag, I was lagging behind when Tisu Boy suddenly shouted to me, "or gui!" (hokkien for turtle) Immediately I ran towards him and I couldn't believe my eyes! What a luck!
It was really an 'or gui' ! And not any 'or gui' but a real 'sua gu'!
(hokkien for "mountain tortoise", a term used to describe a country
pumpkin or ignorant person):-D In this case, it was a 'sua gu' cos
it stayed in the mountain! Hahah…:-D
Crawling in the shallow drain at the side of the road
I know I shouldn't be touching wild life…but being a tortoise and turtle
fanatic, I couldn't help it…:P This cutie should be the Asian Brown Tortoise 😀
There was something on top of his head, and I thought it was just a fruit that landed and stayed there. So when I petted him, I tried to flick it away. But the soft 'fruit' didn't move. It was only now that Tisu Boy, through his camera lens, noticed that the 'fruit' had legs on it! :O
Oh my goodness! The 'fruit' turned out to be a humongous tick! Or maybe it was bloated after its blood meal? The poor turtle had such difficulty trying to withdraw his head into the shell! Wonder if it was painful or itchy? I wanted to remove the tick by force, but was not sure if it would hurt Brownie or not; or if he would continue to bleed like in the case of a leech bite.
See the legs of the tick? Evil looking fella…
He was crawling in the middle of the road where cars often passed by, so definitely it was not a good idea to leave him there. As he was not really alarmed by our presence, we took some time observing and taking pictures of him. We didn't notice at that point of time, but upon scrutinising the photos later back home, we were shocked to find more ticks on poor Brownie's foreleg!!
Can you spot those blood suckers from the photo above?
A total of five evil ticks just from this angle! I wonder if other parts of
the body had more? 😦
In the end, we decided not to pull out the evil tick and hoped it would, like a leech, drop off after it had its fill. But I couldn't just leave Brownie behind and decided to move him back to where he should belong.
Tisu Girl to the rescue…wow, Brownie was heavy…As if he understood
my intention, he didn't struggle 🙂
And back to where he came from, down the valley into the woods…
