May knitting
Our knitting cafe was closed for the weekend and so we knit in the park. It was a lovely day. We took some food from the Food market in Temple Bar and brought it to a garden nearby in Dublin Castle. I bought a bruschetta at a bakery stall and it was really tasty, with roast veg and cheese, and a takeaway coffee. Spent a really enjoyable few hours knitting and chatting and enjoying the surroundings. Unfortunately I forgot my camera so no photos to post.
Still fininshing my Rowan cardi. Cuffs as well as the collar had to be knitted separately and then sewn on. I have one cuff finished and another started, so hope to get them finished and put together today. Then I have lots of little buttons to add as decoration, so it will be a few days yet before finishing. Then I want to start a small baby project and someting portable to take to knit cafe.
Yesterday I was out to lunch in my brother's. I bought a carrot cake in Avoca on the way. I have not had this one before so was a little apprehensive. It was absolutely yummy and so when I visit this shop again I will have to have another. Maybe I might make one myself today or perhaps a fatless sponge. Feel like baking.

I wanted to add a quick post with a dance update 🙂
Had a brief conversation with my instructor last night and if the open Cha Cha isn't ready we will do our rumba competition routine, not jive (whew! load off there). Again I hope the open routine will be ready as it would be pretty amazing to perform.
My instructor asked me today if I would be ok with either him or me to make a brief statement before my performance to talk a little about what I am going through–not to say 'give her a break, she's sick' but to say 'you can do anything you put your mind to–just watch me'.
One thing I can say about this entire process is I am slowly learning and accepting that my instructor has developed a lot of respect for me as a person outside of dancing (not saying he didn't before–this is just a different level). He has mentioned a few times he is amazed at how I am doing, at what I am able to do, and that I (for the most part), remain calm and positive through it. I guess because he is my instructor I have always had a lot of respect and looked up to him, but it never occurred to me that he might look up to me. This conversation today was an example of how, without realizing it, I have affected him in a small way, and he seems to want to share that with others in the community. He actually, without realizing it, encouraged me to start this blog and share my passion for dance, as well as my journey. Funny how we can affect one another without realizing it.
I am not sure about doing a statement, but then I am not sure if I will even be able to dance at all yet. Certainly, I have to get the nausea and stomach acid problem under control, and I never had any idea week to week how I will feel on Saturdays–sometimes I am ok, and even a little 'buzzed' from the steroids (like I had 10 cups of coffee), other times I feel like I have the flu. So that decision will have to be made that day.
Part of me thinks making a statement makes sense. It does allow me to share my journey and I know there is a powerful message there. One of the reasons I want to perform this showcase is partly to prove to myself I CAN do whatever I put my mind to (within reason), and part of me would like to dedicate it to all those fighting cancer. I will have to think about it seriously. I have a week 🙂
Also if the performance is recorded (and it will be), I can post it on facebook for my family to see.
You see, I live on one coast of the country, and my family all lives on the other. I am ok with it, but especially now, it is difficult, especially for my parents, to understand and see I am doing ok. I post a lot of dance videos on facebook so they can share in my dance world–otherwise, they would really have no idea about it. Facebook is the main place I communicate with my family.
I haven't posted a lot about being sick on facebook (I see no need), but I have posted two pictures of me smiling in my chemo scarf mentioning I am ok and still dancing. At least I look healthy. But it is one thing to see a random static picture once every 3 months, and another a dance performance video. I think it would drive home that I really AM ok, and doing well. And I truly am. The support I have here, through dance, work, and friends has been truly amazing. I am truly blessed.
I guess I will give the statement some thought. One of the things that surprises me is whenever someone mentions how inspired they are to see I am still dancing. It just never occurred to me that I could be an inspiration to others, because that is not why I am dancing, so not something I ever think about. I just feel lucky that my side effects have been relatively mild (compared to what others go through, and what is possible), and that dance is still possible.
I just want to dance and be me 🙂

If you are afraid that after your divorce your will have no means or way to support yourself you are not alone. Many people fear the effects of divorce on their monetary situation. Many households choose to leave one parent at home to raise their young children while the other pursues a successful career. This is a personal decisions that families make and there is often much thought that goes into the choice.
You hope to never have to divorce your loved one, but sometimes it is the best decision for yourself and your family to separate and end the marriage. In the case that you do become divorced from your spouse after many years of marriage you may be very concerned about how you are going to support yourself.
Because this is a common problem amongst people who choose to get divorced, the courts have put into place spousal alimony in order to make sure that the parent who dedicated their lives to raising the couple's children are not set up to fail after their marriage ends. There are also dedicated alimony attorneys who have studied the law and know how to make the most of our a bad situation for a struggling partner.
How Does Alimony Work?
If you are unable to find a job after you get divorced because you do not have the needed experience due to your new situation and the many years you stayed at home to raise your children, your ex-spouse will be ordered to pay alimony to help support your until you are able to support yourself.
Alimony is different than child support in the fact that it is not calculated based on an equation. The court will determine how much alimony you are to receive and how long you need to receive the money to support yourself. Some alimony is ordered for a few years while other cases are awarded alimony for the rest of their lives. Each situation is different and you really can't know what is going to be awarded until you are in the situation.
There are a few reasons that your alimony order will be cancelled. If you the spouse receiving the funds chooses to remarry they will no longer receive the alimony from their ex-spouse. Also, if the person paying the alimony dies their family will not be held accountable to pay any longer. Again, each case is taken independently and legal advice will need to be consulted.
Alimony is meant to make a divorce fair financially for a member of the marriage who has dedicated their lives to staying at home with their children. If you are getting divorced after many years of staying home with your children you can rest easy knowing there are measures in place to help support you.

Many children go through separation anxiety at a later age
By Dr. Anthony Policastro
Everyone knows that infants go through a period of separation anxiety. What is less obvious is that there are many children who have separation anxiety at later ages. A classic example is the child who goes off to kindergarten. There are some children who look forward to going to school while others have no desire to leave their mother for the entire day. These children have obvious issues with separation. These children can be expected to have the same kind of problems going back after school vacations. It is true if the vacation is short such as Christmas or Easter break and it is also true after longer breaks like summer vacation. I once heard a speaker address the "epidemic" of separation anxiety every September. The symptoms are not always so obvious. There are other things that can be evidence of separation anxiety. One is the child that does not like to sleep away from home. An overnight stay can be a difficult experience for them. A second symptom is the child who does not like to be away from his/her family. This is similar to the child who is afraid to be alone in the house. A third symptom is the child that wants to go with their mother or father when they leave the house. It might be when they go shopping, to church or to the movies. A fourth symptom is the child who does not like to sleep alone. They might complain about being afraid of the dark or needing someone to stay with them. They might have other related complaints. However, the underlying issue is the separation that occurs when they close their eyes and go to sleep. A fifth symptom is the child who is afraid of being alone in the house. This is natural in the younger child but should improve as they get older. This is similar to the child who does not like to sleep alone. A sixth symptom is the child who worries that something bad might happen to his or her parent. This may take the form of a nightmare. A seventh symptom is similar. It is worrying about something bad happening rather than having nightmares about it. It might take the form of worrying or asking questions out loud. An eighth symptom is related to this - thinking something bad might happen to the child himself/herself. Those are eight questions we ask if we have a child who might have separation issues. We ask if this is sometimes the case (scored 1 point) or if it happens often (2 points). The maximum score is then 16 points (all 8 areas are often seen). Separation anxiety is felt to be present if the score reaches 5 or higher. The higher the score, the more of an issue it is. Most children will sometimes have one or two of these things occur occasionally. However, the numbers quickly add up for the fearful and anxious child. The higher the score, the more important it is for the child to get formal therapy right away. The good news about therapy for this kind of thing is that it usually is a short course of visits. Frequently, denial of the problem leads to it not being treated for years. Like any other problem, the longer you wait the worse it will get. Separation anxiety is much more common than most people realize.
Annual walk hopes to raise $70k
By Lynn R. Parks
Everyone's talking about Sussex County's premier Making Strides Against Breast Cancer 5K walk and run held last year, Theresa Young, state vice president for the Delmarva Peninsula chapter of the American Cancer Society, told organizers at a kickoff dinner for this year's run. "You are the talk of the town," Young said. "You were able to pull off having 645 participants in your first year and everybody wants to do what you did. You are an amazing and inspiring bunch." This year's Sussex Making Strides event will be Sunday, Oct. 2, at Delaware Technical and Community College in Georgetown. Organizer Mary Catherine Hopkins, Bethel, hopes to raise $70,000. Last year's walk and run brought in $50,000. The kickoff dinner was held last Wednesday at the Georgetown Presbyterian Church. Breast cancer survivor Gerri Coble, Bridgeville, told the audience of about 50 that she will always be grateful that she kept the appointment she had made for a mammogram in early 2010. She was diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), the earliest form of breast cancer, and was successfully treated. "Don't make excuses," she cautioned the audience. "I thank God every day that I didn't make excuses for not getting my mammogram. Pledge to yourself and to your family to take care of yourself and to get your mammograms." Surgeon Steve Carey, Seaford, also addressed the audience. He said that of all the illnesses he treats, breast cancer causes the most anxiety and fear. "Nothing is more emotional in my practice than breast disease," he said. Like Coble, Carey urged women to get regular mammograms. "Ultimately our goal is education," he said. "We can save lives because early detection works." Senior vice president Tom Brown represented Nanticoke Health Services, Seaford, at the dinner. When he was thanked for Nanticoke's participation, he said that he would be "embarrassed to say that we aren't supporting this." He added, "This is in keeping with our mission but also with our heart." As it was last year, this year's run and walk are being organized by Rob Perciful, Bridgeville, retired Seaford High School teacher and coach. Both run and walk will wind through the Del Tech campus and will finish in the middle of a bridge that crosses a stream there. Registration for the run and walk will start at 7 a.m. Runners will take off at 8:30 a.m. and walkers at 9 a.m. The event will also feature children's activities, including a moon bounce, face painting and a truck show. For your information The Sussex County Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk and run will be Sunday, Oct. 2, at Delaware Technical and Community College in Georgetown. For details, call Mary Catherine Hopkins, 875-7308. Information about the run is also available on the website

If you accept this definition of what Jesus said, then you may understand that it included, as mission statements do, six "announcements of action" explaining what he was about and what he would accomplish. The first was his intent to "preach the gospel to the poor."
Over the next few weeks (possibly with some interruptions as news events develop) we will develop this mission statement of Jesus. I'm writing this because I'm concerned about the failure of most American churches to emphasize the most prominent teachings of Jesus on economic and social justice. It seems we too often trivialize the intent of Jesus, which clearly was to offer Divine deliverance to oppressed, blind, miserable, hopeless and enslaved people crushed by worldly domination systems—then and now.
Jesus did not take up arms against oppression, nor did he advocate overthrow of the government. But he was a true revolutionary in that he threatened, as had the prophets before him, the values and stability of existing political, religious, social and economic systems that had blinded and enslaved the people. Jesus was usually unassuming and peaceful as he moved among the common people who loved and respected him. But not so the powerful custodians of order and tradition. They knew he spoke of their oppressive practices in many parables and teachings, and they were angry enough to seek and finally achieve his death. The common people loved him, but the power structure feared and hated his message and his doings.
The first action statement "preach the good news to the poor" includes three terms—preach, gospel, poor---that need explanation.
According to the dictionary, preaching means to advocate or inculcate Divine moral truth and right conduct. In the Christian sense it means to offer hearers the counsel and very heart of God's will for human beings and their organizing and controlling systems. Preaching includes prophetic utterances expressing through Holy Spirit guidance the express purposes of God and the expected outcomes—both good and bad—of human response to God's will. Jesus did all of this as he ministered to the people.
The biblical term "gospel" means literally the good news of salvation and deliverance from all forms of human oppression through God's grace promised by the prophets and guaranteed by the sacrifice of Christ at Calvary. The message of good news includes much more than personal salvation, although you would never know it listening to most preachers. Salvation in the personal sense is the starting point from which all other forms of deliverance arise. Salvation is the beginning, not the end of God's will for human beings.
Jesus also taught this.
The term "poor" refers to those unfortunates crouching and cringing in their absolute degradation before oppressive domination systems of the present world order—then and now. They are distressed in every way because they occupy the lowest rungs of human society, being shunned and ostracized by all forms of "good" society, including religious institutions. If you've ever been really poor, or if you empathize sufficiently with today's poor to get on the level where they actually exist, you'll know, as one despairing child said to her mother, "Mama, it's very expensive to be poor." This was after the child experienced the mother's distress at having to pay more for credit, housing, groceries, gasoline, child care and anything else you might need if you live in the poorer sections of town. Go down to your local ghetto and see if this isn't true.
Putting these three fragments together into the phrase, "I [Jesus] came to preach the gospel to the poor," we have Jesus announcing to the assembled synagogue authorities that his earthly mission was to preach, teach, advocate and model the good news of salvation and deliverance from human oppression as first announced in the Jubilee provisions (Lev. 25, Deut. 15) of Scripture. His mission, as he said on many occasions, was to the hopeless, abject human wreckage living on the fringes of society, having no hope of receiving anything better in this life.

ZOLO Series
ZOLO Casting
ZOLO Spinning
The ALX Rods Zolo Series Bass Fishing Rods ditch the use of energy-robbing, low modulus scrim and use only a 100% carbon fiber material construction. This NG Carbon is rolled with over 100ft/lbs of intense pressure to create an efficient, scrimless rod blank that excels in responsive, durable performance. The innovative design improves vibration transmission and overall smoothness. Each ZOLO Series rod comes equipped with class leading Z Series Kigan Master Hand 3D tangle-free guides and custom-cut elliptical cork/EVA grips.
- Built for the tournament angler with an emphasis on techniques
- Handcrafted at the ALX Rods factory in Aiken, South Carolina
- NG carbon Hydra blanks using scrimless carbon fiber and low resin
- Precision-rolled under intense pressure
- Ultra sensitive resulting from 100% scrimless fiber construction
- Fitted with 100% braid-safe Z Series Kigan guides
- Trimmed reel seats to eliminate contact with threading and weight reduction
- MidMicro Guide Train System reduces weight, increases line control and passes leader knots and thick lines
ZOLO Casting Models
ZOLO Twitch
Originally designed for finesse casting baits like flick shakes and weightless worms, the Twitch found a true home with popping baits, jerkbaits, and anything else you'd twitch just right. The soft tip and shorter length help you work baits easily. The power rating is deceiving – once you get a good fish on, there is more than enough rod for the fight!
ZOLO Speedfury
Designed for weightless plastics on clear highland reservoirs, the Speed Fury excels at weightless fluke style baits and light line style baits. The Speed Fury has proved popular among coastal redfishermen for popping rigs and small jigs. The rod has a very light tip with ample backbone to bring in fish. The long working length of the rod allows long casts – great for sight fishing lighter baits.
ZOLO Rosa
The Rosa is positioned perfectly as a medium powered rod with ultimate versatility. It's at home with a spinnerbait but equally as effective with dragging a shakey head or small cranks like squarebills. At 6'9″, the Rosa packs plenty of punch and is nimble enough to be worked in tighter quarters like docks and trees.
ZOLO Mitch
A great all-around rod with the perfect length for shooting lures under docks and hanging tree limbs. The tip is perfectly suited for accurate casts with soft landings. The Mitch excels at senkos, wacky rigs, and dock shooting.
ZOLO Dream
The Dream is one of those rods everyone needs. To say it's technique specific takes away from what all it can do. The Dream fishes a wide variety of baits from a shakey head to a texas rig to a spinnerbait.
ZOLO Deputy
The Deputy is an outstanding general purpose rod. Great sensitivity and mid range power allow the Deputy to be a jack of all trades. Being able to fish a spinnerbait in the morning and then a texas or carolina rig in the afternoon is extremely popular with coanglers. The Deputy is a workhorse rod and you'll find yourself needing more than one.
ZOLO Toadface
"My search for the right frog rod is over." – Capt. Brett Mitchell, Santee Cooper Lakes Guide
True to it's name, the Toadface is an ace at working a variety of toads and frogs over heavy cover. The tip allows you to cast far into cover and then walk, pop, or hop your frog or toad just right. We know frogs are a big fish bait, so we added a little extra power to get them in the boat. This rod design has also given great results with jigs and larger texas rigs and has become very popular for large topwaters and swim jigs.
ZOLO Dragger
When you want total confidence in a bass fishing rod for dragging jigs and carolina rigs in the places lunkers live – the Dragger is made to order! Big jigs + big bass = no problem. The 7'4″ length gives you lots of working length for long casts and sucking up line for bigger hooks sets. This super sensitive rod will have you feeling your bait working up that rock… and then back down the other side. Heavy wire hooks are firmly set thanks to the reserve power loaded inside. Drag with a Dragger and show the bass what you're made of!
ZOLO Brawler
The Brawler is a best seller in places with fish called "lunkers" and "donkeys". 7'6″ of carbon fiber power allows for big hook sets with hooks. Fish can't shake their heads because you're going to turn them straight back to the boat in a bee line to the livewell. The Brawler is an outstanding blend of a heavy rod that can do lighter work. You can go from pulling a 1 ounce carolina rig to to pitching against that piling in the matter of a bait change. Many of our customers opt for the Brawler as their main big jig rod or when they need a little more versatility than a true flip/pitch rod.
ZOLO PowerBolt
When you need brute force from a bass fishing rod for punching through and bringing in monster bass from ugly places, the PowerBolt is the answer. Fish are fought from the rod belly giving you more control, more power, and fewer break offs. There is still enough tip for your delicate flip presentations with a 2 ounce punch bait. After the flip, prepare to cross their eyes with all 7'11" of raw power. The PowerBolt also crosses over nicely into a big spoon, deep crank and A-Rig rod when it's not punching season.
ZOLO Crank
Made for smaller crankbaits, the Crank offers a long handle for two handed casts and enough rod butt to tuck against your side for all day cranking. The long length aids in depth control for your bait and long casts – which keep your bait in the strike zone longer. The Crank is made for crankbait less than a 300 size (12′).
ZOLO Grind
Made for big crankbaits, the Grind offers a long handle for two handed casts and enough rod butt to tuck against your side for all day cranking. The long length aids in depth control for your bait and long casts – which keep your bait in the strike zone longer. The Grind gets the job done when it's time to grind out a win!
ZOLO Spinning MOdels
ZOLO Diplomat
The Diplomat is well versed in smooth presentations and subtle power. Drop shots, split shots spybaits, and other light wire hook techniques are ideal for this finesse stick. You'll feel every little movement on the end of the line and have a rod blank designed to protect light lines. Smallies hate the Diplomat…
ZOLO Trickster
The Trickster serves as a catch all rod with an emphasis on mid-weight finesse presentations. It's adept at drop shots, light shakey heads and even small topwaters or cranks. The design of the rod blank is focused more on a power with a finesse tip for the right type of bait presentation.
ZOLO Maestro
Perfect for shakey heads, finesse jigs, and small worm rigs. The Maestro is designed for comfortable fishing with an oversized reel seat and easy access to the blank to feel the lightest bites. This package is backed with plenty of power and is versatile enough to be used all day with several different baits. The Maestro is our most popular spinning rod as it does many things equally well.

I have recently been obsessed by these big bottles made from colored glass! I saw them in a couple European stores (e.i. HK Living) but they do not ship to The United States.. So I started looking on-line and I found a very similar product in Pottery Barn. Those oversized glass bottles cost between $99.00 and $199.00.
Look how awesome they can look as a decorative element:

Definition of Love
Definition of Love
Whether my sons are five, twenty, fifty, or a hundred years of age, they will never cease to be my babies. Words do very little justice in explaining the depths and the heights of a mother's love for that of her children; a love such as this will forever be indescribable.
Loves Me Like a Rock -Paul Simon
Definition of Love
Dirty faces,
broken toys;
a household
of entertainment
my babies;
my boys!
Material things
less and less,
two little boys
will always
make such
a glorious mess!
are not a
major crime,
nor are
sticky walls
laden with
jam and jelly,
all the time!
My boys
have opened
my eyes
clearly wide;
they have
shown me
what truly matters,
and that is
which will ever abide!
My babies;
my sons!
A mother knows
of no greater love,
except for that
of our Savior,
Jesus Christ,
in the Heavenly
Realms above!
Definition of Love
From tricycles, training wheels, and bicycles, to skateboards, rollerblades, and 4-Wheel Drive trucks, I have watched my sons blossom from newborn babies (nestled in my arms) to young adults who never cease to amaze me in the wondrous and magnificent human beings that they have become. Their essence is not in what they do, but in who they are, from within the depths of their hearts and souls.

Wow. Great write Tamara.
- hari
Came back to read your lovely poem! I believe every mother has the same emotions towards her children, as expressed in this poem. They may grow up but a Mother's feelings don't change.
Thanks again and have a blessed and beautiful day!
Great thoughts, Tamara. Really enjoyed.
Tamara, real mothers can identify with the thoughts you express in this poem. Beautiful content and well done.
So very nice as I think about my own children, now grown. Thanks for this one.
Thanks, keep writing and keep winning hearts:)
The love for your two little sons shines and glows in every line of this poem. The feeling and parenthood charm with simple diction are essence of your poem. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Beautiful expressions and I could relate to this poem so well!
I often have the same feelings for my sons, who are now grown up and well settled in life.
Thanks for this wonderful poem!
Children are whole when they are born. They are little adults. It's just that they need to learn the ropes on how to speak and be on planet earth. Love two, three and four year olds in particular. They are so intuitive and honest. Love love them! You learn again, especially about love and trust. Not to forget adaptive creativity.
Kids are a wonderful gift, and no matter how old they grow they'll always be kids in a parent's eyes.

So in it are lots of quotes, and one in particular that will always stay with me,
"If slaughterhouses had glass walls everyone would be vegetarian. We feel better about ourselves, and better about the animals knowing we are not contributing to their pain."
Paul McCartney and Linda McCartney
This quote is part of the reason I no longer eat dead animals! And they are simply words that had this positive effect!
There is one word that sticks out for me, and that is SLAUGHTERHOUSES. What the fuck are humans doing creating these places?! To me its totally illogical, cruel, wrong and unnecessary.
Luckily humans don't have to eat dead animals, and if they ever did they can change. A change which can occur through words alone!!

I'm in your continent, growing mah beards
The young people of Europe do not seem interested in growing beards. Moustaches, goatees, and sideburns do make appearances, but never in the unified glory that is a beard. As mine continues to develop, it has been affecting the way the people I meet regard me. In Venice's Jewish quarter, a young Orthodox Jew lit up when he saw me, taking me for a foreign Jew going on a pilgrimage of sorts. Partying in Rome, I was called Jesus, and spent the evening turning water into whisky (and since, I have heard numerous passers-by call out "Jesus!" or "Amen" to me). It pleases me most to hear those I meet comment on my beard while intoxicated, and therefore uninhibited. A Frenchman told me I needed to borrow his razor: "You are looking like a Pakistani." An Englishman, "you'd be quite an attractive chap if it weren't for that damn beard." I feel the least out of place in the many museums I visit, hanging out with the likes of St. Paul and Hercules.

I am happy to get a beard update from you. You will be pleased to know that you have started a trend and Nate, Sean and I are all cultivating our own facial gardens (continuing the metaphor: Nate's if more like a scraggly patch of weeds, Sean's is no doubt glorious [I have yet to see it] and mine is somewhere in between). I look forward to your return so we can all hang out in a public space with our beards and be bad asses.

Strange, I imagined there to be more rather than less beards. But I suppose I am thinking of old Russian people and not young British ones.

Last Night by John W. Howell ©2014
So with nothing better to do, I figured I will stop at Jerry's place and grab a couple a drinks and a burger. I usually don't go there on Saturday night since there's a crap load of amateurs takin' up what I would consider prime space. Having not spent enough money at Jerry's to warrant being able to call the shots, seat wise, I try to avoid Saturday if I can. I go through the door, stop and have a look around. There's the usual weekend crowd alright, hanging on each other like they never had a date before. I squint my eyes against the smoke and can make out four guys by the pool table and looks like a couple a girls fetching drinks. I cross hustling some rubes out of a few bucks off my list, since they will be forever playing eight ball with themselves.
Straight ahead is the bar and I do believe there is a place right in the middle. I get my feet to move in that direction while looking over the other side. The tables all seem jammed with happy drunks. There are buckets of empties on each table and I see the barmaid trying to sell more. She's not having much luck, since most of these people just spent their last five bucks on this outing. I make it to the chair and hoist myself up and lean on the bar.
"Hey Frank, Jerry says. "Whadda you have?"
"Evening Jerry. Gimmie a double Crown neat and a beer back."
"Comin' up."
I like Jerry's no nonsense way he handles things. He doesn't like small talk and gets right to business. I can feel my eyes start to smart from the smoke and wonder how Jerry gets away with letting people kill themselves when it's clearly been outlawed.
"Here you go Frank. Want me to run a tab?"
"Yeah Jerry I would appreciate that. I intend to have another drink and then a burger."
"No problem. Give me the high sign when you are ready for another."
"Will do Jerry. Thanks."
"For you buddy anything."
I should mention Jerry and I go back a ways. We were in the Army together and had ourselves a real ball. We could hardly believe we were getting paid for having so much fun. I take a sip of my drink and wait for the hot assed burn in my throat which signals it's the good stuff. Ah there it is. I take a swig of the beer and am about to believe life is good. I think I'll wait for the whiskey to get to the brain before making any judgment.
While I'm waiting for the warmth of the Crown to reach my brain, I check out the folk sitting on either side of me. Not a friendly group as they both have their backs turned and are engrossed in some kind of discussion with their neighbor. I figure it is just as well, since I don't want to go through that old "what do you do" bullshit. I also don't figure on staying the night, so no use getting into any long discussions about life.
I look down at my Crown and start to wonder what is going to happen tomorrow. It's Sunday and my daughter wants to come and visit. She lives in Connecticut and we don't see each other often. It is only an hour's drive or even less by train, but it seems like a world away. Her husband is a nice enough guy, yet I always wonder if he has someplace important to go when I visit. He never sits still and is on the phone or at the computer. He makes a good living, but it seems to me a person could take an hour to sit and talk. I never had a son and was looking forward to some kind of relationship when he and daughter got married. Never going to happen with him.
I take another pull at my drink and notice the burn has faded. It happens every time. First sip initiation I call it. It's like the first puff of a cigarette, hits ya hard. I decide to let daughter pretty much have the agenda tomorrow. She and I haven't really had a chance to talk for a while. I think she blamed me when her mother ran off with that guy with the house on the Hudson. He has a title and the old gal couldn't resist, but I think daughter always felt I should have done something. Her mother's sleeping with another guy. What the hell can I do about that?
I'll just go with the flow. If she wants to go out we will. If she wants to stay in we can do that too. I better think about getting some food in the house. Of course, we can always order in. I need to move on to my drink and let this go. Tomorrow will be what it is. I hope we can somehow patch up whatever is wrong.
For some reason, I feel pretty tired and think I will go ahead and finish my drink. Maybe I'll just go home and forget the burger. First though I think I'll just shut my eyes for a minute. My hands feel good as I put my head down.
"Hey Frank what's the matter you taking a nap? Frank? Frank talk to me. Oh my god. Sophie call 911 quick."

Cloudiness and showers associated with a cold front that passed through our area overnight will gradually recede to the south and east Saturday forenoon. Winds will again pick up out of the north, gusting to 30 miles per hour, even stronger along the Lake Michigan shoreline giving choppy conditions along the nearshore. Temperatures Saturday will probably not reach the 60-degree mark, even at locations far removed from the upper 40s at the lakefront.
The following Canadian-source high pressure will modify slowly in the next few days with winds shifting more to the east and southeast by early next week. Perhaps the warmest day coming up looks to be Tuesday when readings should approach the 70-degree mark away from the city and lake. The blocking pattern aloft responsible for our recent cooling trend is then expected to reestablish itself with low-pressure troughs along the west and east coasts, meaning a prolonged period of cool easterly winds at the surface here that may well persist into next weekend.

Pentax PZ-10
The "naked" PZ-10 shows the level of electronic sophistication used in modern SLR cameras. The flexible copper foil circuit board literally wraps around the camera. The electronic components are miniaturized and use surface mounted technology (components are soldered directly to the circuit board as opposed to using sockets or long leads). The PZ-10 is an autofocus model. Two small electric motors are mounted in the body - one for film advance and rewind and the other for focusing an autofocus lens, although most modern autofucus lenses have the focusing motor built into the lens itself.
In addition to the advanced hardware and electronic components, the camera employs software which is integrated into the large microprocessors (the 2 black squares to the right of the lens mount). The software controls all of the functions of the camera and a digital readout mounted on top acts as a small computer screen.

Hello again. I have the following code:
button1.states.add off: opacity: 0 on: opacity: 1
print button1.opacity
My print statement reads "0". ??? If I just switched to on why am I not seeing "1"?
The code is written exactly as shown above with no errors .
Thx in advance!
The animation has probably not finished before the print line runs. Try using a delay or an event listener to make it wait.
Do you have a suggestion of how to apply that delay? I'm not sure where to put it.
Cool thx man
use .switchInstant()
Yes I've played with switchInstant as well since the default animation seems to be about .5 seconds. Perhaps I missed something so I'll give it another try.

Life is SUPER crazy right now, but I'm going to try my hardest to start posting again! You may be wondering why it's been so crazy, well, here is the reason –
Elizabeth Faye was born in June of this year and our lives have not been the same since! She is such a joy to be around (well, the times that she's not crying 🙂 ) and I just love her so much!
I've been debating on if I should make this more of a mommy blog or keep with my food and baking and decorating, but I think I'll just blog about everything. Hopefully it works out well!!
If you're still reading this blog, can you PLEASE leave me a comment telling me so? I'd love to know who my readers are right now.

The use of medical gauze bandage wound is our most common and most conventional hemostasis, the mechanism is that the gauze absorbs the water in the blood, so that blood cells, clotting factors such as concentration, thereby promoting blood coagulation. However, the problem of excessive absorption of blood by traditional medical gauze has been neglected for a long period of time, which often leads to excessive bleeding in the wound and in severe cases, the patient may still die due to excessive blood loss. Reporters learned from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, our scientists after a large number of tests, developed a non-bleeding hemostatic gauze.
Traditional medical gauze is used to pressure the wound blood vessels in the wound dressing, so that the blood flow out of the wound slowed down, but the traditional gauze will absorb a lot of blood. Zhao Ning, Xu Jian, a research fellow at the Institute of Polymer Physics and Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, collaborated with Prof. Shao Longquan from Southern Medical University to design a new concept of hemostatic material from the viewpoint of hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity of materials (gauze) Traditional gauze in the course of excessive vomiting problems. They use nanotechnology to build long-chain paraffins into micro-nanostructured layers on the surface of conventional gauze fibers, converting conventional gauze from a blood-like substance to a blood-thinning substance that can not be infiltrated by blood on the treated gauze surface; they then Further, the combination of thinning blood gauze and conventional gauze double layer, the use of the lower conventional gauze to promote blood coagulation, the use of the upper layer of gauze to produce negative pressure to prevent blood wetting and infiltration, so as to achieve the purpose of effective hemostasis and reduce blood loss . A large number of animal experiments show that, compared with the traditional medical gauze, the new hemostatic gauze can significantly reduce the amount of blood loss of about 60%. In addition, the use of new hemostatic gauze in the case of carotid hemorrhage can make the experimental rat survival time by about 40%. This gauze is expected to fight for more rescue time for patients.

Most family therapists inadvertently create more chaos through their well-intentioned efforts to assist a family move through a change process. Why? Brains are inherently deregulated (all of us, may I add) and most talking and dialoguing misses brain-centric problems that need more intensive help. Many times the emotional trauma created by years of solving problems ineffectively can wreak havoc on the brain's parasympathetic nervous system, not ever giving the family a break from flight or fight thinking.

Every family experiences some type of challenge in their relationship together. Let's face it, no matter how educated or understanding we are, sometimes there is just too much going on and too many personalities involved to see things clearly and to resolve the problem on our own. My personal background includes a long-term marriage and raising four children. This experience enhances my understanding of the types of situations and feelings your family may be experiencing. In a supportive and non-judgmental environment, I will collaborate with you and your family as we explore the underlying thoughts, feelings, and relational dynamics which are interfering with healthy functioning.

Sometimes the issues that are causing problems in the home involved the entire family dynamic. In these cases, it's helpful for all or most of the family members to attend therapy sessions so that I can get a feel for how the family unit operates as a whole. Particularly when the primary problems center on parenting issues, having the entire family in one place to talk about feelings, behaviors, and expectations can be very effective in terms of reducing stress and increasing harmony in the home.

• To be opened
• To be read
• To get the order (or, in your case, to get them to call)
• As anyone who has ever been our prospect knows, we believe strongly in the power of postcards. They are a sure-fire medium that doesn't have to be opened to be read, are inexpensive to send and are easy for your prospects to read. Even if they don't read the postcards, they see them, and you take one step closer to getting into their minds and to them buying from you.
• Over the last five years, we have sent out more than 50 different, full-color postcards to promote our products and services to Jostens reps and to our yearbook and workshop customers. Many of you have been on the receiving end of those postcards, and you know how we have gotten into your minds.
• Get into their minds—consistently.
• We want to help you get into the minds of your prospects and customers. We can produce low-cost, completely personalized postcards for you to send to your yearbook, scholastic, workshop or Jostens Photobook customers as well as any other prospects for any other product or service you sell.
• Use one of our standard designs, personalized with your contact info, that we can send to you for mailing from your office, or we can create custom designs just for you. We highly recommend that should you decide to mount a postcard campaign for any product or service, you do at least four weekly successive postcards in addition to whatever marketing you have ongoing. For a long-term sale, we recommend eight successive weeks. That's why our standard design postcards feature four or eight in each series.
There are lots of places where you can buy full-color, direct mail postcards, but most of them require purchases of 1,000 or more. We can run as few as 50 and still keep the cost low enough to make them a viable part of marketing...you.
If you want to mail them at the lowest rate possible, we can often combine yours with other reps wanting to send the same message while keeping them personalized just for you. Then we can handle the entire campaign for you, including mail-merging, labeling and taking them the post office.
Everyone always wants to know the bottom line. And that's fair.
On all our standard postcards there is a $25 per rep set-up charge to personalize your postcards.
Cost to print the standard postcards (4 inches high by 6 inches wide) in full color if we address and mail them is $0.75 per card we mail and this includes the postage. If we can group your mailing in with other reps, the cost may go down depending on the number of postcards going to a particular zip code area. The more reps in your state (or within the first three digits of your zip code) the less it may be. We will quote your postage once the mailing is set.
Example: If you have 200 schools in your territory and you have us mail the postcards directly to them it will cost you $150 per mailing. With eight weeks of mailing, your total cost for all eight weeks would be $1200. This is a turn-key situation. You do nothing. We do it all and it includes all postage.
If you decide to mail the cards yourself, we will set them up and have them printed without addressing them and send them to you to be addressed and mailed with a single $0.28 stamp. Cost if we print the postcards and send them to you for mailing is $0.15 per postcard.
Example: If you have 200 schools in your territory and you have us send you the postcards for mailing, your cost will be $0.25 per postcard and a $0.28 stamp that you would apply. Total cost per mailing for eight weeks would be $86.00 per mailing. With 8 weeks of mailing, your cost for all eight weeks would be a $688 charge by us but that would not include your postage costs which you would have to pay out of pocket.
If you are interested in custom postcards we will need to give you a quote on the cost for development. In many cases, if your postcard is something someone else might use (for instance ring sales reminders, yearbook final deadline congratulations, summer workshop sales, etc.) there may be no development charge at all.
And your personalization will be free if we add the card to our standard line.
You will send no money! We will charge your Yearbook Adviser Guides to your Jostens Sales Account. Overdraft sales reps will need manager approval. We have never had anyone turned down.

|The Mines
Edesa's Project consists of four historically-active mines plus some surface rights where a mill was active in the past.
The mining claims cover an area of over 320 hectares. Besides the claims, Edesa also has some surface rights.
Extensive metallurgical and geological analysis has been completed on each mine. As recently as 1983, an independent Canadian company, Asamera Minerals Inc from Calgary, completed a reserve study that reported a total of proven, probable, possible and inferred ore of 1.15 million tons.
In 1983, the analysis was reviewed by Ralf M. Kleine, a Canadian mining engineer; who recently retired from Starcore.
Previous geological and metallurgical analysis show that the mines contain high grade silver with an estimate of 300 to 800 grams of silver per ton as well as some gold , copper, lead and zinc. Veins in Edesa's mines range from 1.00 to 3.65 meters wide.

Boston Globe: The debate over lung cancer screening
From The Boston Globe
July 11, 2000
Are lung cancer victims second class citizens? The debate over lung cancer screening
By Tinker Ready
Globe Correspondent
They are among the most unfortunate and least pitied of cancer victims.
First, they must face the fact that their diagnosis is almost always a death sentence. Then, in most cases, they have to come to terms with the reality that they brought the cancer on themselves by smoking cigarettes.
Each year, about 160,000 people die from the disease in the United States, more than any other cancer, yet, unlike other cancers, there are few groups for lung cancer patients who want to share stories and few advocates pushing for research breakthroughs.
Now, a controversial new screening test that can identify lung tumors at their earliest stages of growth is raising issues about whether doctors and scientists go after lung cancer with the same fervor they direct at other cancers.
Researchers in Japan and New York have developed a technique using state-of-the-art spiral computed tomography, or CT, that can detect lung tumors far smaller than the next best method, chest X-rays. In some parts of the country, doctors now offer the test to smokers, former smokers and anyone else who is worried about lung cancer.
But many hospitals – including some in Boston – are reluctant to offer the CT scans, arguing there is no proof they save lives. And the National Cancer Institute has refused to endorse the test until a decade-long study can demonstrate the scan's effectiveness.
But advocates for lung cancer victims say the doubts smack of indifference to the plight of people afflicted with a terrible disease. By the time the NCI study is finished, another 1.5 million people would be expected to die from lung cancer.
"With lung cancer, there is a sentiment out there that you deserved it. You smoked. You caused it yourself," said Beverly Ward, a Revere native and labor lawyer who has lost her brother and mother as well as one of her lungs to lung cancer. "I don't apologize. It's an addiction and one does the best they can."
"If [a CT scan] had been available, my brother would be alive," Ward added. "This is what I know. When you see a tumor with a regular X-ray, its too late. . . . You get lung cancer, you're dead."
In response to patient demands, the American Cancer Society has agreed to consider recommending early screening for lung cancer, which could ease the way for insurance coverage of the $150 to $200 tests. In Boston, meanwhile, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center already offers CT scans, and doctors at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Massachusetts General are about to start.
But the debate over screening for lung cancer – and society's view of its victims – is far from over. Like most cancers, lung cancer begins quietly and without symptoms. A single cell goes awry and starts growing uncontrollably. Over time, one cell becomes many cells, which then form a tumor. Eventually, tumor cells break off, fan out into the vital organs and shut them down.
Lung cancer's high mortality rate, many say, comes down to doctors' inability to catch tumors before they grow and spread. Unlike cancers of the breast, colon and other organs, there is no commonly used test to pick up some lung cancers before they become deadly.
The CT scans, which essentially take a 360-degree X-ray that allow radiologists to view "slices" of organs, can find tumors at a stage where, with surgery, 70 percent of patients are alive five years after treatment, according to Claudia Henschke, a Cornell University radiologist who is championing the CT scan. Left alone, she said, such tumors will be fatal within that same time for 90 percent of patients.
Not surprisingly, after years of little improvement in the prognosis for lung cancer patients, advocates are excited.
"The Spiral CT scan is one of the most exciting things that has happened in lung cancer recently," said Peggy McCarthy, a member of the board of the Alliance for Lung Cancer Advocacy, Support and Education, a national group based in Washington state. "It's going to provide a major breakthrough."
But others see problems. The test – like most screening – is less than perfect. It mistakenly identifies many benign lung problems as possible tumors. That can mean months of anxiety and, possibly, unnecessary chest surgery, before doctors can say for sure whether the patient has cancer.
It is clear that the CT scan finds cancers earlier than scans conducted once the patient starts having symptoms. It is not clear, according to current scientific theory, that screening and early detection always save lives. That sounds illogical in an era when early detection has become a battle cry in the war against cancer. But early detection does not always translate into an improved prognosis for cancer patients in general.
It will take a large, long-term study to definitively answer the question: Do CT scans for lung cancers save lives? The National Cancer Institute already is planning to look at nearly 90,000 people for at least 10 years to determine whether the CT scans improve life expectancies.
Edward Patz, a professor of radiology at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, N.C., said that, until that study is complete, he fears the test may be offering patients false hope.
Without data from a larger study, he said, no one knows whether the scans are adding years to patients lives or just getting them in for surgery a bit earlier.
"No way we'll be doing it," Patz said. "It's medically irresponsible." Lung cancer is different than many other cancers in that researchers know what usually causes it – cigarette smoking. Before the 20th century, when cigarettes became popular, lung cancer was fairly rare. Today, it is the number-one cancer killer, taking the lives of three times as many people as breast cancer and five times as many as prostate cancer.
Since the 1960s, mounting evidence that cigarettes contribute to heart disease and cause lung cancer has convinced many people to quit. In 1955, about 60 percent of men and 30 percent of women in the United States smoked. That figure is now down to about 25 percent for both sexes, although it is higher internationally. And the evidence is everywhere – from sealed ashtrays on airplanes to smokers clustered outside of smoke-free office buildings. In many settings, smoking is now totally unacceptable.
Those who quit smoking lower their risk of lung cancer, but they still get the disease at a higher rate than nonsmokers. And about 15 percent of people who get the disease never smoked.
Still, many people express little sympathy for lung cancer victims. There are few support groups and, until recently, no advocates for more research.
When Beverly Ward was diagnosed with lung cancer two years ago, she looked in vain for support groups. Her mother and brother, both smokers or former smokers, had already died, and she was facing the removal of one lung.
"There was nothing," said Ward, who is 42.
Eventually, she found the Alliance for Lung Cancer Advocacy, a five-year-old nonprofit organization set up by Washington state medical educator McCarthy after she couldn't find good materials for her clients with lung cancer. One of the first things she discovered was that – in proportion to the number of people who die – the National Cancer Institute spends far less on lung cancer research than it does on other cancers.
In 1999, the NCI spent $146 million on lung cancer, about the same amount it spent on colon cancer, which kills about half as many people annually. Lung cancer kills more women each year than breast cancer, yet the NCI spends more than twice as much money on breast cancer.
If lung cancer is at the top of the NCI's death rate charts, McCarthy's group asked, why isn't it at the top of the funding chart?
"I think they believe that lung cancer is a deadly disease and there is nothing we can do," McCarthy said. "And after all, people caused it themselves so they deserve to die."
She also said she believes that attitude explains why the agency is dragging its feet about endorsing the Spiral CT scans.
Not so, said Christine Berg, until recently the chief of the Lung and Upper Aerodigestive Cancer Research Group at NCI's Division of Cancer Prevention. Comparing dollars to death rates is not a good way to measure the NCI's commitments to a certain cancer, she said.
The agency spent a lot of time and money in the 1970s and 1980s to assess the use of chest X-rays as a screening tool for lung cancer.
While federal researchers found that annual chest X-rays – like spiral CT – detected early tumors, early screening didn't pass the ultimate test. There were just as many lung cancer deaths among the people who were screened and the people who didn't get X-rays. While some researchers now question the interpretation of that study – and the use of chest X-rays is being re-examined – the early findings led the American Cancer Society and the NCI to recommend against lung cancer screening.
Berg understands the frustration that some doctors feel, but she's adamant about the need for a larger study.
"I think [CT screening] is potentially quite useful," she said, but added, "I'd like to know how well it works and what are the potential drawbacks before we say it's the greatest thing since sliced bread."
But Cornell radiologist Henschke said she thinks waiting for the NCI report is research overkill, not to mention insensitive.
"It's hard to tell the people who are at risk that they have to wait. . . . We have a lot of data from the prior studies. . . . We shouldn't pretend that we don't know enough about lung cancer."
Amid the conflicting scientific advice and rising patient demand, some Boston hospitals have tried to navigate a middle course, offering CT scans, but unlike free-standing clinics in other states that promote the test, they accept only patients referred by doctors.
Theresa McLoud, the director of Thoracic Radiology at Mass. General, is almost apologetic about offering the test. But without it, she can offer nothing but a grim prognosis to lung cancer patients.
"It's pretty solid evidence that this is a benefit," she said. "It's the only thing we have for such a horrible tumor."
