Anyone at any age can have a drinking problem. Rachel takes a fifth of whiskey to her mother every 2 weeks. Rachel's mother Mary admits that she drinks a few each evening to help her get to sleep. This is common. Families, friends, and health care professionals often overlook their concerns about older people's drinking. Sometimes trouble with alcohol in older people is mistaken for other conditions that happen with age.
The aging body does not handle alcohol the same way. The same amount of alcohol can have a greater effect as a person grows older. Some research has shown that as people age they become more sensitive to alcohol's effects. High blood pressure, ulcers, and diabetes can worsen with alcohol use. Many medicines—both prescription and over-the-counter—can be dangerous or even deadly when mixed with alcohol.
This is a special worry for older people because the average person over age 65 takes at least two medicines a day. Aspirin can cause bleeding in the stomach and intestines. If a person takes aspirin while drinking alcohol, the risk of bleeding is much higher. Cold and allergy medicines (antihistamines) often make people sleepy. When alcohol is combined with those medicines, it can make drowsiness worse and driving even more dangerous. Alcohol used with large doses of the pain killer acetaminophen can raise the risk of liver damage. If your loved one is taking any over-the-counter or prescription medications, ask the doctor or pharmacist if its safe to drink alcohol.
Even drinking a small amount of alcohol can impair judgment, coordination, and reaction time. It can increase the risk of work and household accidents, including falls and hip fractures. It also adds to the risk of car crashes— a special concern because almost 10 percent of this nation's drivers are over age 65. Heavy drinking over time also can cause certain cancers, liver cirrhosis, immune system disorders, and brain damage.
Alcohol can make some medical concerns hard for doctors to find and treat. For example, alcohol causes changes in the heart and blood vessels. These changes can dull pain that might be a warning sign of a heart attack. Drinking also can make older people forgetful and confused. These symptoms could be mistaken for signs of Alzheimer's disease. For people with diabetes, drinking affects blood sugar levels. Ulcers also may become worse with alcohol use.
Studies show that older problem drinkers are as able to benefit from treatment as are younger alcohol abusers. To get help, talk to the doctor. He or she can give you advice about your loved one's health, drinking, and treatment options. Your local health department or social services agencies can also help. There are many types of treatments available. Some, such as 12-step help programs, have been around a long time. Others include getting alcohol out of the body (detoxification), taking prescription medicines to help prevent a return to drinking once sober, and individual and/or group counseling. Newer programs teach people with drinking problems to learn which situations or feelings trigger the urge to drink as well as ways to cope without alcohol. Because the support of family members is important, many programs also counsel married couples and family members as part of the treatment process. Programs may also link individuals with important community resources.

Before I show you my eats, I have a fun story to tell you.
Today I passed out while saving three lives. That's right. It sounds dramatic but really I just gave blood for the first time (did you know one pint of blood could save the lives of three different people? That's why you should go donate!).
My school does the biggest blood drive in the country (1,255 pints last year!) and I decided I really wanted to donate this year, even though I find needles pretty terrifying. I have O- blood which is an even bigger reason why I should donate, so I decided to suck up my fear and I signed up for a donation appointment, I figured the worst that could happen was that I could pass out. Well…
I went through all the pre-screenings fine (the nurse was even super impressed with my iron levels, she said it was the highest she'd seen all day! Who says vegetarians don't get enough iron?), and I felt totally find through the whole donation process. I stood up, took a couple of steps and the room started to spin, I sat done and the next thing I know there's a huge bald guy waking me up and wheeling me off to a curtained off sections with all the other fainters. I've never fainted before, or even come close, so this was quite the experience.
And of course all the other fainters were good after 10 minutes. I had to hang out for a good 40 minutes before I could even stand up. That would happen to me. At least I got to spend an hour eating hot Pop-tarts (I can't even tell you the last time I ate a pop-tart! I thoroughly enjoyed it) and wrapped up in a shiny silver blanket. Pop-tarts mark great medicine, doctors should start prescribing them (though I'm sure my stomach didn't appreciate it). The nurse also gave me a recipe for liver stir-fry, because apparently it's good to eat before giving blood, not that it helps me much. Then I had to go take an exam, yeah, that was fun.
Okay back to the food:
I'm still really bad about remember to take pictures of my food, so… sorry.
Peanut butter oatmeal, 2 eggs over easy and some unsweetened Baker's chocolate. Typical. FYI it is totally okay to eat unsweetened chocolate for breakfast because it has no sugar in it. The best days are the ones where chocolate is consumed before 9am. Just saying.
11:00 am
I had cut up chunks of sweet potato and a golden delicious apple, which you'll have to imagine because I didn't take pictures of it. Whoops.
2:00 pm
An Earnest Eats Choco Peanut Butter bar. I've never tried on of these before but holy cow it was delicious. It was one of those snacks I never wanted end.
I had some pepitas because my stomach would not stop rumbling. The guy I sit next to must think I never stop eating because I always eat at least one snack (but usually two) before the class is over.
What can I say? I don't get a lunch time on Tuesdays. And I didn't eat the whole jar, I stashed a small container in my book bag.
5:00 pm
I had an entrepreneurship exam to study for, so I set up shop in the campus coffee shop:
It was en effective set up, especially the coffee.
I went to the gym for some weights after finishing up my studying and bought a hard-boiled egg to hold me over on the drive home.
Check out that sweet App Card in the corner.
I stopped by Wal-Mart on the way home for a few things and spent too long looking at fall decorations.
I picked up a few things for the rest of the week. I ran out of peanut butter Tuesday morning and was not about to wake up today without any. And typically I really hate Wal-Mart and try to avoid going, but I do have to give them props for being the first grocery store I've been to in town with PUMPKIN. I was a little bit excited about it.
For dinner (does it even count as dinner when it's 10 o'clock at night?) I heated up my latest crock pot creations.
Tofu, chopped eggplant, bell pepper and onions, Trader Joe's curry sauce, coconut milk and veggie stock. Hit the spot.
Afterwards I realized I needed some more veggies in my life so I roasted up some green beans and tomatoes.
With a side of brown spicy mustard, which I've been eating like it's my job lately.
And a side of cantaloupe while they roasted away in the over.
I love that you can see where I was gripping on to the slice for dear life while I cut the rind off. I was not going to drop it.
And I had another apple with a cup of coffee before going to bed (the sign of a true addict I think), but you'll have to use your imagination again because a picture didn't happen.
Have you ever passed out?
Have you ever donated blood?

This post on A Beautiful Mess inspired me to make these fun, cute custom make up brushes. This was a reeally quick'n'easy project but it makes my bathroom cabinet look so much more put together and stylish! I love that my brushes are a matching set now, instead of the mishmash of collected colours and brands I had before.
You'll need:
A handful of make up brushes you want to perk up
Masking tape
Base colour paint
Top colour paint - or do like I did and use a Sharpie
A paintbrush
Step 1: Use the masking tape to protect any areas of the brush you don't want to paint. I sealed off the heads of the brushes where they changed colour, leaving the metal necks unpainted.
Step 2: Lightly sand off the handles of your brushes until the wood acquires a rougher, unfinished texture which will help the paint stick on better.
Step 3: Begin to paint! Cover your brush handles in a thin layer of your base colour paint. I found that holding the make up brush horizontally and rapidly flicking the paint brush up and down across it not only covered large areas quickly, but also helped to minimise brush strokes. When each brush is covered, leave it to dry; I used shallow sided glass ramekins to prop up the brushes while the paint was wet, leaning the unpainted necks against the glass. It was... mostly successful, and where I did get paint on the glass, it just scratched off once it was dry.
Leave the brushes until they are touch dry. If your paint layers are thin this won't take long. You will probably need to put at least two or three coats of your base colour on to achieve max coverage.
Step 4: Once your brushes are fully dry, you can start the fun bit - decorating them! I copied ABM's simple black and white patterns because I thought they were the most beautiful (and really easy), and incidentally they also look quite a lot like the branding for the Topshop make up range. I used a black Sharpie instead of paint and a fine brush because it was WAY easier with much less potential for me to smear the nice black lines all over everything. It worked really well. Protip: aiming for a messy, handmade look made my inevitable mistakes look like a charming design feature instead of... well, mistakes.
I was really proud of these when I was done. Disproportionately proud, probably, considering how little effort they really were, but I think they look pretty great in a jar in my bathroom. Achievement!

I laughed throughout the entire photo session with these woolen ballerinas. Who is their choreographer? They just couldn't seem to twirl in unison!
These Baallerinas (pun courtesy of my friend, Gretchen) are now up in my etsy shop! I plan on making them customizable as well, in case you like dancing sheep, but don't have an all pink nursery!

On September 26, Liz Phipps Soeiro, school librarian at the Cambridgeport Elementary School in upscale Cambridge, Mass., wrote a "thank-you" letter to First Lady Melania Trump for a gift of ten Dr. Seuss books Melania had made to the school in honor of Read a Book Day. The letter would make Miss Manners blanch.
It begins with a classic example of passive aggressiveness: "[M]y school doesn't have a NEED for these books. And then there's the matter of the books themselves. You may not be aware of this, but Dr. Seuss is a bit of a cliché, a tired and worn ambassador for children's literature," Soeiro wrote. This was followed by some heavy-handed sarcasm: "Sent second-day air, no less! That must have been expensive." And then there was the sheer ingratitude, coupled with a little political dig at Melania Trump's presidential husband and his Cabinet choices: "Why not go out of your way to gift books to underfunded and underprivileged communities that continue to be marginalized and maligned by policies put in place by Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos?"
Soeiro must have been wool-gathering when her mother told her that the polite way to handle a gift you don't want is to write a gracious note to the sender (it's the thought that counts, remember?) and then quietly hand off the gift to someone else who might appreciate it, throw it into the trash, or whatever. It's your property to dispose of in any way you like.
Readers of the much-publicized "Dear Mrs. Trump" letter were quick to call out Soeiro for her self-righteous boorishness, and also to dig up a photo of Soeiro dressed up as Dr. Seuss's most famous cartoon-animal creation, the Cat in the Hat, for a school celebration of Dr. Seuss's birthday only two years ago. Photos of former First Lady Michelle Obama reading Dr. Seuss to children just a few years ago also surfaced. In 2015, Michelle Obama's presidential husband—whose politics were probably more to Soeiro's liking—told schoolchildren in Washington, D.C., that he was "still a big Dr. Seuss fan."
But Soeiro's school-textbook lesson in rudeness (the Cambridge school district later made it clear that she actually had no authority to accept or reject the books) was not the most disturbing part of the story. What was the most disturbing was the high speed at which Theodor Seuss Geisel (1904-1991), author of the just-yesterday-beloved children's classics, has been consigned to the dustbin of political incorrectness. In her "Dear Mrs. Trump" letter, Soeiro wrote: "Dr. Seuss's illustrations are steeped in racist propaganda, caricatures, and harmful stereotypes." This despite the fact that Geisel was a lifelong liberal Democrat who subtly worked progressive lessons such as anti-consumerism and concern for the environment into his entertaining favorites. His 1961 book, The Sneetches and Other Stories, was all about racial equality (the "star-bellied" versus the "plain-bellied" Sneetches).
But in 2016, Katie Ishizuka, cousin of Kathy Ishizuka, editor of School Library Journal, wrote a lengthy blog post calling attention to the anti-Japanese cartoons, deemed offensive by today's standards, that Geisel, at the behest of Franklin D. Roosevelt, had crafted as part of World War II propaganda. Then, just this past August, Philip Nel, an English professor at Kansas State University, published a book, Was the Cat in the Hat Black? The Hidden Racism of Children's Books and the Need for Diverse Books, arguing that the beloved Cat's striped high hat and white gloves had "roots in blackface minstrelsy." A few weeks later, on September 17, San Francisco commentator Grace Hwang Lynch wrote an article for School Library Journal, "Is the Cat in the Hat Racist? Read Across America Shifts Away from Dr. Seuss and Toward Diverse Books." Liz Phipps Soeiro's letter to Melania Trump denouncing Geisel's "racist propaganda" followed exactly nine days later. She must have burned that Cat in the Hat costume of hers in a hurry.
Even more depressing than Dr. Seuss's overnight demotion among school librarians are the dreary-sounding "diverse" children's books with which they plan to replace the good doctor's oeuvre. Soeiro appended to her letter a list of ten picture books that she said dealt with such themes as "children who are trying to connect with parents who are incarcerated simply because of their immigration status" and "children who challenge society's social constraints and are accepted and loved as who they say they are," And indeed the descriptions of the books sound as overtly didactic as Soeiro describes them: Edwige Danticat's Mama's Nightingale: A Story of Immigration and Separation deals with a little girl feeling sad because her illegal-immigrant mother is behind bars. The Boy and the Bindi is about a Hindu boy's venture into cross-dressing by adopting "the forehead dot usually exclusive to Hindu women. Duncan Tonatiuh's Separate But Never Equal: Sylvia Mendez & Her Family's Fight for Desegregation is about just that. Beth Lo's Auntie Yang's Great Soybean Picnic is about…soybeans.
Furthermore, Soeiro's list is all-too-typical of the dismal-sounding "diverse" literature that school librarians and book publishers are pushing onto children these days. The Hornbook, the children's literature website where Soeiro published her letter, is replete with enthusiastic write-ups of books devoted to such subjects as women in computing, a Puerto Rican boy who thinks he can't play Spider-Man, and more illegal immigration. The New York Public Library's list of recommended books for kids features tales of women in computing (again), dealing with death, and enslaved blacks.
One of Dr. Seuss's mottos was: "Kids can see a moral coming from a mile off." He tailored his books accordingly, clothing his morals with gentle fun. I'm going to miss him now that he's been banished—and so, I think, will a lot of kids.

Ab-Soul Gets Ignorant On 'Dub Sac'
Following Jay Rock's ferocious 'Numbers on the Boards' freestyle yesterday, Ab-Soul brings us the second TDE offering in as many days with an all-new track, 'Dub Sac.'
With the woozy production of in-house beatsmiths Tae Beast and Dave Free blasting out of the speakers, Solo remembers holding a "dub sack in my bucket" while "rolling around like f--- it," but these days it's more like "an OZ in this Benzo." Despite being one of the most intriguing minds to touch the mic, the self-proclaimed Black Lip Bastard knows how to get ig'nant.
Ab-Soul recently told Montreality that his new project is finished and in the mixing stages, but no word on whether 'Dub Sac' will make the cut.

Abstract Portable sensors and biomedical devices are influenced by the recent advances in microfluidics technologies, compact fabrication techniques, improved detection limits and enhanced analysis capabilities. This paper reports the development of an integrated ultraportable, low-cost, and modular digital microfluidic DMF system and its successful integration with a smartphone used as a high-level controller and post processing station. Low power and cost effective electronic circuits are designed to generate the high voltages required for DMF operations in both open and closed configurations from 100 to 800 V. The smartphone in turn commands a microcontroller that manipulate the voltage signals required for droplet actuation in the DMF chip and communicates wirelessly with the microcontroller via Bluetooth module. Moreover, the smartphone acts as a detection and image analysis station with an attached microscopic lens. The holder assembly is fabricated using three-dimensional 3D printing technology to facilitate rapid prototyping. The holder features a modular design that enables convenient attachment-detachment of a variety of DMF chips to-from an electrical busbar. The electrical circuits, controller and communication system are designed to minimize the power consumption in order to run the device on small lithium ion batteries. Successful controlled DMF operations and a basic colorimetric assay using the smartphone are demonstrated. View Full-Text

Merensky hosts two events at new municipal swimming pool
Merensky High School was honoured to host two galas at the new municipal swimming pool in Tzaneen. After a decade of not having the privilege to compete in a 50m pool, swimmers from nine schools enjoyed the pristine new pool on two consecutive days: firstly the top schools meet on Friday 16 October and the Limpopo swimming championships on Saturday 17 October. Merensky ended in fifth place overall, and congratulate the following individuals on their achievements: Doran Kleynhans, Boys u.14, 1st 50m backstroke, 2nd 50m fly Megan-Mae van der Nest, Girls u.14, 2nd 50m breaststroke Jenelle de Jonge, Girls u.14, 2nd 50m freestyle Ariel Viljoen, Girls u.14, 3rd 50m backstroke…
Townies rule at Plasieland gala
As tradition dictates, the annual inter house gala at Merensky High School took the form of a heated challenge between hostel learners and those who live in town or the surrounding areas. This years' gala took place on Wednesday 16 September with sunny weather after cold conditions over the weekend. The staff astonished one and all when they claimed the spirit trophy, once again showing that age is only a number. In the girls section the hostel won with 209 points to the towns' 153. The town boys put a score of 263 on the board with the hostel boys scoring 155. The final score was Hostel 364 and Town…

If your car is recalled, you're probably going to get a notice in the mail telling you to take it to the dealership and explaining the severity of the recall. However, what about the parts of your car itself, which can put you in danger if they fail? For tires that should be recalled, the National Transportation Safety Board found that you will probably never know there is a problem.
You may not know if your tires should be recalled
What is Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus?
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, which is known as MRSA, is a very serious infection that is highly resistant to antibiotic treatments. This infection can be spread by touch, putting anyone who is near a patient or individual with the infection at risk of MRSA. This means that healthcare professionals with wounds on their hands, for instance, could come into contact and suffer a MRSA infection. Patients who are exposed to the bacteria may also become infected and suffer potentially deadly side effects.
Common causes of construction injuries
If you work in the construction industry, you probably realize that an injury could happen at any time. You don't want to think about this, but it is better to be prepared for every possible situation. This will put you in the best position to avoid trouble down the road.
Man convicted in hit and run accident
According to prosecutors, a judge has convicted a man for his part in a hit and run accident that killed another man and injured a woman.
What is a dust fire or explosion?
Dust and other small particulates are combustible and can cause explosions or fires in industrial settings. If you're working with your attorney on a claim following injuries you've suffered because of a workplace explosion, then this may be a cause to investigate. There are some laws in place that regulate the workplace, so these accidents shouldn't take place, but they have for many decades regardless of those rules.
Understanding vocational rehabilitation
Were you injured on the job? Did you receive workers' compensation benefits? If you answered yes to both questions, you realize that the future may be cloudy. Fortunately, in the state of Maryland, you can access the vocational rehabilitation program.
Don't face workplace injuries alone
Even if you work in an environment with known risks, such as construction, you probably have some expectations of safety. You expect your employer to care about work safety and to put in place appropriate policies. You expect coworkers to care about safety so that they will follow those policies. Even when everyone is cognizant of safety issues and requirements, however, accidents and injuries do occur.

Tue 4/16/13: Prayers go out for the City of Boston and for all those runners and fans who took part in the marathon. We should be celebrating
instead of mourning. How senseless! I hope whomever is responsible will be found and dealt with appropriatly. I don't know what the answers are to prevent such things from happening. As Americans, our lives are not meant to be lived out in fear. Today is a new day…live each day to the fullest.

More on cover art
My favorite image is one they probably won't use. There is a statue described in the book called "Death of a Son," a symbolic representation of the long lives of wizards that they cannot share with anyone else. They will remain unchanged for several centuries while their loved ones grow old and die. Here's the description of the statue:
The statue rose seven feet above the pedestal and depicted a father carrying the limp corpse of his son, one arm beneath the boy's back, the other beneath his knees. The father cradled his son gently, lovingly, a boy of five or six, whose head rested against his father's chest, his eyes closed, his lips slack. The boy's left arm lay across his abdomen; his right hung limply, the fingers relaxed, and Gerin could imagine it swaying lifelessly as the father carried him away from the place where he had died (for surely that must be what was shown, he thought). The dead child wore a sleeveless tunic and trousers that reached only to mid-calf; his feet were bare. The son had no wound or blight upon him, no visible injury that could have caused his death. Indeed, he could easily have been sleeping except for the expression on his father's face. It was etched with anguish and pain, a sorrow so deep and penetrating it seemed he must collapse at any moment from the crushing weight of it. His head was tilted back, looking skyward; his eyes were wide and imploring, and looked so close to spilling tears that Gerin half-expected to see water begin to pour down his white cheeks. The father's lips were parted slightly, as if he were attempting to speak but could not find the strength for his voice. His hair was swept back from his face by an unseen wind, which billowed the cloak that fell from his shoulders.
"It's both beautiful and terrible," said Reshel in the same whispery tone.
"This is 'Death of a Son,'" said Hollin. He too spoke softly, and with a reverence in his voice Gerin had not heard from him before. "It is my favorite sculpture in all of Hethnost. Many find it morbid and avoid it, and in some ways it is, but I find it heart-wrenchingly sad, and beautiful as well, as you said, Reshel. It was made by a wizard named Eredhel Anyakul after his own son drowned in one of the cisterns here. He never sculpted again after this was finished, and in fact went mad a few years later and lived out his days in the uppermost room of the Derasdi Tower." He pointed to a solitary square spire near the foot of the ramp that led to the Khalabrendis Dhosa. "He allowed food and water to be brought to him, but received no visitors and spoke to no one. They knew he was alive only by the lights in the tower and the empty trays left outside the door each morning." He looked at the statue and folded his arms. "I've always imagined that the father is about to speak the name of his son, but that his grief is simply too great to overcome."
"It seems to me his is going to ask why?" said Reshel. "Why was my child taken from me? Who will answer for it? He's looking to the gods, but his question is met only with silence and a voiceless wind."
"I like that," said the wizard. "I've also thought this was a potent symbol for wizards and our inability to pass our powers and long lives to our children. I think that's why so many of us are troubled by it; it's too sad a reminder of what we can never share."
There are some other images that would make good covers, but I think this one captures the melancholy that is at the heart of the book. I'll let you know how things develop.

Nice description and powerful imagery. I think it would make an awesome cover, but the publisher might feel it was too strong or doom-laden. Depends what the marketing people say ;-)
A very minor nit, but just in case it isn't picked up later; "the emtpy trays left" should be 'empty'
(You can tell I've been proofing for about 2 weeks. They still leap out at me!)

At 5 past Tuesday
celebral lunatics
talking of relevance
on the art boards in cyberspace
gather sound,
claiming to make the patterns of exchange
they create
into a number of truths
which frame a commitment
to concrete expression
by anchoring sense in earth bound images
within the context of modernity
I listen
by the weight of voices
test a theory
of how
to picture
by measuring
the relative
of each syllable
with its syntatic sense
of assonance

They had wanted the celebration of life to be fun, feisty and spirited — as Nicki Alexopoulos was. So the friends and family who came Saturday to the Uptown Theater brought their best memories.
They shared decades-old University of Central Missouri stories of dancing to the Doobie Brothers with her Alpha Omicron Pi sorority sisters. They remembered the English papers, covered in red mark-ups, that Alexopoulos would return to her students, scaring them and inspiring them to do better at the same time.
They laughed at the long list of things Alexopoulos adored: sunglasses; Turbo, the Pomeranian she loved to spoil; flea markets; and her grandchildren, Alexander and Brandon. "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band." Paul Simon's "Kodachrome." Books. Lots of them.
But the hundreds of people who came to pay their respects to a revered educator and Kansas City native also found themselves caught up in the sadness of the darker parts of Alexopoulos' life. She died in October when her son, Patrick, shot her in her Brookside home before turning the gun on himself. She was 64.

For the most comprehensive local coverage, subscribe today.
It was not the first experience Alexopoulos had with domestic violence. She had survived such violence earlier in her life and in recent years had been taking steps to becoming an advocate, sharing her story.
Last month, Alexopoulos' neighbor, Alison Hanks, walked in her honor at the Women's March on Washington in the District of Columbia. Alexopoulos had been a reassuring presence for Hanks, someone who talked to her son, Jude, like an adult and who answered all of Hanks' questions about motherhood.
After Alexopoulos' death, Hanks said she felt a pervasive fear. Attending the march was a chance to find peace after violence in the presence of those united by a cause.
"It was a chance for me to reclaim who I was and take Nicki with me," Hanks said.
A chatty and boisterous child, Alexopoulos grew up in Kansas City and later moved to Raytown during high school. She graduated from Central Missouri and University of Missouri-Columbia before taking a job as an English and creative writing teacher at Boonville High School.
To a teenage "geek" such as Ben Jones, Alexopoulos was a figure out of his comic books. The 1993 graduate of Boonville High said Alexopoulos had the origin story — the idyllic childhood spent with a tight-knit family. She had superpowers — the way she helped a teenage boy deep in the closet, or a student struggling with a parent's illness — sometimes just by guiding them to a poem or a book they needed to read.
And she had a secret identity, years of pain from domestic violence experience that she masked so skillfully from her friends and students at Boonville and later at Fort Osage High School and Avila University.
"I was convinced," said Jones, who now teaches at Harding University in Arkansas, "that she was superhero."
Before Alexopoulos' death, family and friends said Saturday, she seemed to embrace the idea that the darkness she had experienced was as much a part of her story as the joy she experienced in the classroom and the cherished time spent with family members.
She would own it all, the good and the bad, and to some degree, speakers said, she understood that she could not entirely control her own story. The heroes in the books she loved taught her that.
Daisy Buchanan remains as elusive as a flickering green light for Jay Gatsby. Piggy, the stout, weak schoolboy stranded on an island with the other adolescents of "Lord of the Flies," is killed by the hands of another.
At the end of the ceremony, a reel of images set to Alexopoulos' favorite songs played. At the very end, a clip from one of her favorite movies: "Dead Poets Society." In the film, a teacher played by Robin Williams wins the hearts of a group of prep school boys by challenging them to expand their own perspectives, jumping on a desk to illustrate his point. At the film's conclusion, the students stand on their chairs and shout "O Captain! My Captain!," a Walt Whitman reference, to honor him.
In a dark auditorium, dozens of Alexopoulos' friends and family watched that clip. Then, in their suits and dresses, they hopped up onto their chairs and stood silently to honor her.

BREAKING: Donald Trump's rise in the Republican party is still an affront to me and, I hope, any critically thinking Americans. On the flip side, I'm souring on Hillary as well. In truth, I'm tired of the political landscape in the US. It's bitter. It's divisive. It's a joke. Unfortunately, it's not even a good joke like you might find birthed from the fertile grounds of Jon Stewart's former milieu, The Daily Show. Fortunately, Jon Stewart joined David Axelrod for a taping of The Axe Files at The University of Chicago Institute of Politics (if you're bothered by swearing, consider this your warning).
I've watched this video multiple times and find myself agreeing with Stewart (far more than I probably should) and Axelrod when he stands up to Stewart (when his ideology sweeps a little too broadly). Stewart levels his aim at Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, the media, and the whole political system. He also manages to articulate what has been niggling at the back of my brain about Hillary over the past few months – her inauthenticity. I've noticed the pauses they mention regarding her rhetoric and something wasn't processing in my head. His depiction of press secretaries approaching him on behalf of their candidates was both sad and enlightening. Why is "he could… or she could say what she thinks… about the issues concerning America" such a foreign concept? Why is "speak your beliefs" such a sticking point?
The point that stuck with me most was his comment regarding politics and the internet (it's near the end of the Q&A) and its ability to elevate or denigrate. The reason it resonates so strongly is because it agrees with my philosophy (intensified over the past decade) – it's far easier to destroy than to create. As a society, we spend far more time denigrating those around us (be they friends, coworkers, or even random people on the internet) than elevating them. This doesn't mean I feel we should, as a society, perpetuate this whole "everyone deserves a participation trophy" mentality. I just don't believe it's necessary to reach out to someone to tear down their efforts. How hard is it to keep your mouth shut? Have people forgotten their mother's advice, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all"? Do mothers even give this advice anymore?
Feel free to watch the video and form your own opinion (not that you need my permission).

I bought the 1911 a couple weeks ago. Shot up 2 boxes of shells that came with it. I like it a lot, but will be reloading. The only place that carries shells locally gets $30 a box!
I was in Eau Claire today and stopped at Gander Mountain. I asked at the gun counter if they carried ammo. The guy told me the manufacturer discontinued it ten years ago. I mentioned that it was introduced in 2011 and the guy told me I was wrong, then walked into the back room.
I try to buy local, I really do. Morons like that make it hard.

Paintblog – May Miscellany
So, what with this and that, I've not po0sted anything for a month. So let's look at a couple of one-shots.
These were all done on the spur of the moment, generally in a single session. Hence there aren't any "before and after" shots.
This one was done with a bunch of leftover blue. For some reason, I call it "The Lovers." I can't think of any way that I could add to it, so that one is basically done.
This one was done in a couple of minutes while I was on the phone. Again, it's just using up paint that was still on the palette.
Yeah, it's totally that dark. It looks better in real life. Oh, and truth in advertising–I added the foreground boulder later. This one may or may not be finished; I dunno. Right now I can't think of anything to do with it, but it doesn't say "I'm finished" either.
This one is also not quite done.
It doesn't have a title. It used to be almost entirely different; alas this is the only photo I have of it's "before" state and as you can see, I'd already started adding to it.
Specifically, the sky-sweep and the peach mountain were added.
While the overall shape of the work is similar to the old one, almost every bit of paint has been replaced. Even the dark green in the water has been gone over; I think the only remaining bits are some of the green in the mountains.
The "Delegates" picture is almost done–it's very, very close. And the "bunch of apples" picture is also getting some work done. Those will be updates in a future posting. In the meantime, thanks for visiting.

Purple Peanuts is a busy Japanese cafe at the Southern Cross end of Collins Street. I've just ordered the Gammodoki Tofu Burger but when it arrives I'm a bit taken back – it doesn't look like a burger but more like something you'd order in a sandwich shop. But never mind all that. One bite and I'm in burger heaven.
In the burger's centre is a Gammodoki, a Japanese fritter made out of tofu and finely chopped vegetables. This one has beans, carrot, sesame, ginger, oats and sake. Then there's some mixed lettuce and teriyaki sauce. All surrounded by turkish bread. In an oblong shape – which is what makes it look like something you'd order in a sandwich shop. Aren't burgers meant to be round? But it tastes beautiful. The flavours are all interesting and nothing fights with anything else. Not too big, not too small, and because of it's non-traditional burger shape it stays structurally sound right up until the last delicious bite.
Burger: $10.90 / vegetarian
Location: 620 Collins Street, Melbourne, VIC

Enjoy your Day at the Beach DAILY 8/17
GOOD morning!
Take time today to put away all thoughts of "diet" and just ENJOY the day.
Let the new inner you emerge and smile.
Be happy. :)
Know that today you aren't going to worry over ANYTHING.
You are going to ENJOY this day to its fullest.
Relish in the thoughts that you are happier, healthier and don't eat like you used to, your clothes fit differently and you weigh a little less.
Think about YOU today and ENJOY your thoughts.
Mom isn't going to go to church today. The pews are hard as rocks and she doesn't need to further aggreviate her "booboo".
My DH is going out to lunch with a friend.......male of course LOL
And ME?
Laundry, cook, clean up kitchen and then come back here and I may even read.
Have an ENJOYABLE day.
Lady :flame:
Good Morning!!:)
I had a not so good day yesterday. I always have a problem on weekends.:mad:
I tried to keep it legal but I am up 1 lb from yesterday. I think it's the combination of too many nuts and not enough water.:rollpin:
Anyway, off to Church this AM and I'm not sure aout the rest of the day.
Have a good one everybody:D
Good morning everyone! I didn't post at all yesterday...decided to take the day off from the beach. I think my birthday celebration is finally over, thank goodness! :o
We went to a local four-star french restaurant for dinner. Since we were then going to an outdoor concert we opted for the more casual Bistro and not the main restaurant. We have never been before, and it was just lovely. It reminded me so much of living in Europe. I ate what I wanted, and it wasn't nearly as bad as it would have been a few months ago, so I am counting it as a victory! I didn't work out, either! :smug: I really, truly just took the day off, and I am glad I did! The concert was so pleasant...the Dayton Philharmonic and Michael Feinstein singing a lot of the great standards. Just lovely!
Today is a happy, happy day! I just got up but I already know it is going to be a great day. I'm not at all upset with myself for yesterday's slacking off...maybe because I made a conscious decision to take the day off?
I hope all find a way to embrace the day today, and take pleasure in whatever you do!
Good Morning Beachers....<smile>
lucky us...in for another beautiful day here in the North. Sun shinning and warm temps, although the wind seems to be picking up a bit, so a storm could be brewing.
Made some slips on the beach yesterday, but I am not going to beat myself up about it. Had a friend visiting and felt one day would be okay. I do leave on holidays on Tuesday, and have started planning my meals and thoughts for two weeks. Could be interesting. I am just hoping that I do well enough not to gain back the wonderful weight I lost. Remembering to eat at regular times, will also help me...<smile>
Love seeing everyone around and reading the posts! Enjoy the day and keep smiling....
Good morning beach beauties!
I just wrote a long and eloquent post, and then somehow deleted it before I posted it!! Arrrrgghhhhh!!!!!:( :( So I'm going to try again, if I can remember what I had said.
Marcie, you must have been reading my mind again! You said "Relish in the thoughts that you are happier, healthier and don't eat like you used to, your clothes fit differently and you weigh a little less"....and that is exactly what I've been saying to myself these past couple of weeks. I really do love this new WOL.
ZuzeQ, remember that your weight can fluctuate from day to day, and that's why it's recommended that you don't weigh yourself every day, and if you do, to not worry too much about the numbers going up and down slightly. If you really did overdo it a little with the nuts (as I've done on more than one occasion :o ), I've found that drinking a lot of water the next day really helps.
Franny, I just posted a response to you on your happy birthday thread. I'm so happy that you enjoyed your birthday celebration, it sounds wonderful! And what you just wrote about not being upset with yourself about what you ate yesterday because you made the conscious decision to do that....is exactly what I wrote to you in the other thread! Wow, great minds really do think alike!! :lol:
Wendy, good for you for not beating yourself up over a couple of slips! That accomplishes nothing other than to make you feel even worse about yourself. It sounds like you have a good plan for the next couple of weeks, planning ahead is a very smart idea! Have a nice time!
I went shopping yesterday and bought a pedometer. Now I just have to figure out how to set it and how to use it! :lol: :lol:
Well, the "dog days of summer" are here! It's been hot and humid and sticky the past few days...we've been seeing the hottest days of the summer. I hate to admit it, but I really am looking forward to the fall! Fall is my favorite season. When I was shopping yesterday I was looking at all of the cute fall and winter clothes in "normal" sizes, and even though I can't fit into them yet, I promised myself that in the not too distant future I will be able to shop for those cute clothes to my heart's content!
Thanks for all the wonderful anniversary wishes!!! DH is my best friend and soulmate. It truly DOES seem, at times, like we have been together forever. Then at times it seems like we just met yesterday!!! We had a great day. Lots of fun and lots of WORK as we had to start getting the house normalized after the power outage. Washed dishes and then sanitized them in boiled water with a touch of bleach. They say we are going to have to boil AND conserve water until WEDNESDAY!!! I'm doing my best, but I will DEFINITELY need a shower before then!!!!
Hey, Den, come for a visit and I'll take you to Pike Rock to jump in our beautiful lake. It's a bit cold but shivering burns up calories. Yes, we can "skinny" dip, if you want.
Not much going on here. I finally kept my date with the scale - a day early but hey! I'm still in ONEderland, but barely. I am going to seriously consider revising my Sept. 1 goal as I somehow doubt I'll lose 10 pounds in two weeks - unless I sacrifice a boob or something! Vacation was great but I certainly was NOT on programme.
My newest addiction (replacing food and wine) is my pedometer. Funny how a little thing like that can motivate you - finally. I am aiming for 10,000 steps per day and Hershey will be stepping them with me. (If I put it on her collar will it register double steps because of the four legs? Hmmmm. )
We are expecting more rolling blackouts today so I won't be online much. I hope those of us affected can check in soon. I also hope the weather stays coolish as I really missed my AC yesterday!
Happy Sunny Sunday
Hi there Beachsters and Welcome Back Ruthie!:wave:
['m just getting myself bacdk together (so to speak) after the blackout. I got some extra exercise in by walking up and down eight flights - some of them carrying my cute old Max - who absolutely refuses to walk down or up eight flights of stairs! Once we realized we weren't under attack we collectively pulled together and had a party by candlelight but with alll those us and downs - emotionally and stair-wise - I'm still a bit whipped.
Enjoy your day on the Beach, Babes and Happy Belated Anniversary to you and your DH Den!
Hugs, :grouphug:
Ruthie...Thanks for the giggle! If I were to sacrifice a boob I MIGHT lose a pound...maybe 2!! :o Thank goodness that isn't really a consideration!
My newest "addiction" is my heart rate monitor....I love seeing the numbers climb when I work out...I think of all the calories I am burning and how much stronger my heart is getting. I just did the WATP 3 mile tape, and my heart rate was just about off the charts! :dizzy: And I feel great!
Now off to the pool for my 7 yr old to practice his snorkeling! Enjoy your day everyone!
Good Afternoon Everyone ...
Glad you had a nice birthday franny ... mine's next week and I'm planning on being off the beach for the day ...
Raining in Rhode Island ... it's either unbelievably muggy or raining so I decided to stay in and clean the kitchen floor ... it get covered with sap from a huge tree in the backyard so I actually have to get on my hands and knees with a Brillo pad to scrape the sap off ... must have burned a million calories!!!
I've had a pedometer for about 2 months (they gave them out at work) and can't figure out how to program the darn thing ....
Lady, your posts always make me smile ...
Glad the blackouts are pretty much over and all is well ...
Have a nice day!!!
Ruth-WOW!! Talk about a day at the beach!!! Sounds GREAT actually, especially after being so hot for so many days. Another side effect of being overweight.....I CAN'T stand the heat anymore!!! I hear you about goals too. We have pretty much been using up stuff that we are afraid will go bad quicker, so i am not exactly on program!!!
Anna-HI! Been missing you!! I know we had the same thought at first too, but I thought of everyone in NYC and how frightening it must have been for you. After that though people here seemed to reach out more too. We got to know a neighbor that we have just been on waving terms with up until now!!!
Franny-I'd lose 50 pounds, and stop bending over!!! (okay, that is for BOTH!!) I am so glad that you had a good birthday!! I like having birthday week....the celebration just keeps going!! Although that CAN wreak havoc on your weight!!
Nikkiloo-Are you going to take the beach to the beach with you?!? We're going to Tobermory Tuesday, and I hope to stay on the beach, but i have been pretty bad lately!!!! Just made a huge salad to go with our grilled pork though, so this may be the (re)start of something good!!!

A Juice that Makes You Happy
If you've been feeling down lately or suffer from depression, the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that a diet with high intakes of fruits and vegetables was associated with fewer depressive symptoms. The study contributed these results to a cumulative effort of the antioxidants in fruits and vegetables. Many studies indicate that more than 7 servings per day is the magic number that supports a happy mood. Here's what I added to this juice to boost your mood and make you smile.
Dark Leafy Greens: Folate found in leafy greens helps minimize homocysteine levels which are correlated to depression and poor mood. Eating plentiful folate-rich foods may have an antidepressant effect.
Citrus: Flavonoids found in citrus fruits have a mild anti-depressant activity.
Beets: Beets and their leaves contain tyrosine and B vitamins to support dopamine and serotonin production.
Turmeric: In a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study with a major depressive disorder, turmeric was found to be effective at improving several mood-related symptoms.
- 4 chard (silverbeet) leaves and stems
- 1 cup (30 g) spinach
- 1 large beet (beetroot) and leaves
- 2 oranges
- 1 lemon
- 1 inch (2.5 cm) piece of turmeric
- Wash and scrub all produce well.

Peak 5242m, First Ascent. A 16-member Indian expedition led by Pradeep Kr. Kar intended to attempt the virgin peak Panch Chuli III via the eastern approaches in May. They approached from Son Duktu village and through the Meola Glacier. However, considering the difficulties of Peak III, they decided to climb Peak 5242m, which lies east of Panch Chuli V along its long ridge to the south of the Meola Glacier. This gentle peak was climbed on May 22 by S. Majumdar, Arup Saha, Moloy Kanti Haider, and Pradeep Kr. Kar.

This has been the most common strategy and it is backed by a lot of research.
Ask the children to pair up and collaboratively work on the task (Tom's class, Ros's class, Sara's class, Paola's class, Linda's class). Most teachers use group work to solve issues such as differentiation and mixed ability classes. (Huda's class).
Even those who thought they preferred doing it alone and faster have gained by sharing their expertise with others as this example shows in a girls school
The teacher took the risk and was rewarded with the surprising reaction of these girls who 'would not normally admit to enjoying their work nor doing extra work at home'. By making the game a 'cool' thing to do, she not only increased their motivation but also vocabulary. Moreover the girls became interested in each others projects and began to collaborate.
It is a good idea to prepare a template of a game for those who are beginners or who seem not interested in continuing with the task so as to bring them to a more interesting step forward (Ros' class).

Signed Numbers, Graphing, Lines, Inverse Operations, Inequalities, Exponents, Combining Like Terms, Factoring, Absolute Value, Binomial Theorem, Quadratics, Transformations, Sequences, Functions, Exponential and Logarithmic Functions, Polynomials, Trigonometry, Complex Numbers, Further Work (Matrices, Vectors, Conic Sections), Calculus - ALL get their own chapters!
Then Geometry (a whole section on Euclid) and Arithmetic (one page description of what to do) each get an appendix.
It is perfect! I love it! I can't wait to delve into it with my son (well, yes, I can, because I don't want him to grow up TOO fast; but I am also SO satisfied we have the perfect resource for the middle school and possibly early high school years).
It arrived via UPS yesterday. Yes, I paid $16 and change for shipping. I didn't feel like contacting them to have them send it media mail. I probably could have driven and picked it up for less, but it saved time.
It comes printed on front/back, 3-hole punched, ready for a binder....
Or 2 binders. I didn't want that many pages in one thick binder. So I split it, noting the chapter headings contained in each. It comes with two printed cover pages (presumably a "cover" and a "title" page, so I split those to the binders).
|Fully Illustrated!!!
If you are familiar with Montessori math (NAMTA presumes you have training when you purchase this album), you will be able to follow along very quickly; the introduction chapter provides a good outline for how to work through the material with the children - not in linear fashion. There is also a flow chart in the appendix which shows initial presentation (everyone gets one way or another), suggested follow-up presentations (not everyone "needs" - some things the child needs to demonstrate understanding one way or another; some things are entirely optional) and the ultimate key experiences (all children should get to those ones).
If you are new to Montessori math, the wordy introduction might be overwhelming but will be VERY helpful.
(for the record, I did try to think of cheaper alternatives; in the end, I went with the wooden set from IFIT - I am 100% pleased and I know I can re-sell them if/when the time comes)
- Geometry sticks
- fraction circles
- bead bars, squares, cubes
- wooden cubing material (noted above)
- Powers of 2 and 3 (AMI only includes the power of 2 at elementary; but the power of 3 is available)
- Second and Third Pythagorean Insets
- Binomial Cube (my friend! the link here is about the trinomial, but the concepts apply)
- Checkerboard
- Pegboard
- Fourth and Fifth Power Material (not included in AMI KotU albums - other albums may use these???)
- Special Triangle Box (the box of 12 blue right-angle triangles)
- Yellow Material (area and volume)
- Large and Small Solids
- no page numbers noted in the table of contents. ANNOYING.
- needs tabs to find the chapters (because of no page numbers) - easy enough fix.
This album covers a LOT of ground at just over 800 pages. I could imagine using this material for the equivalent of 7th, 8th AND 9th grades, with possibly some of it being a foundation for additional high school studies - it gets into trigonometry, etc. We may very likely do this album for middle school, then see about placement testing or other testing into/out of high school math courses (or seeing how Life of Fred fits into the whole thing when the time comes - I cannot yet say if there are enough credit-hours here for which courses on a high school transcript - I need more time with it, comparing directly with actual trig coursebooks, for example).
I highly recommend picking up this resource when your elementary child is around age 10 - so you can have time to get organized with it ---- the author suggests that some of the work could begin in elementary with a ready-child; and the AMI albums (including KotU) have work that COULD bridge into adolescence. So you'll want some time to get a feel for it and find what path your child will need.
Links for it (non-affiliate):
NAMTA's page for Montessori Algebra for the Adolescent By Michael J. Waski
Table of Contents
I am writing this review on a snow/ice day with lots and lots and lots to do around our home - so I know I've not covered everything I'd've liked to cover. Please ask any and all questions and I'll respond with what is pertinent to what people want to know :)
Caveat: I cannot answer how this album aligns with following any elementary albums besides the AMI ones, because I have only seen tiny portions of non-AMI upper elementary albums.

By Adeboye Amosu:
Sunshine Stars of Akure have insisted that star forward Ajani Ibrahim will not leave the club this season.
The hitman has been linked with a move to South West rivals Shooting Stars Sports Club of Ibadan.
But the Akure Gunners chief scout Adeyinka Adebayo has expressed the desire of the club to hold on to one of their key players.
Adebayo told completesportsnigeria.com that the former U23 Eagles invitee has a contract with the club until 2017.
"The club (Sunshine Stars) have made our stand on Ajani's transfer to 3SC known and that is what we are going o standby," Adebayo said.
"3SC tried to sign him through the back door and that has strengthened our desire to hold on to him.
"We want to make them realise that things should be done appropriately and that will teach them lesson in future."

North American - No Trigger
not american, barely north american. ten thousand years of history (but hey, who's counting anyway?) dissolved and forgotten in just over five hundred. hold on man, let me check my notes. two continents chock full of people can be destroyed and gone unnoticed? are you kidding me? survival should be based on fairness, not fitness. and just remember that as three hundred million sing 'this land is your land' we scream 'basta ya'. this country is still wet to the touch, saturated with greed conquest and blood… conveniently stuffed under the rug. this may be overdue: f_ck you. a different time? well that can't replace the countless cultures that have been erased. established in 1492, i'm not american.
