Raising Angels: November 2013
The Unrest of Resting
Consequently, I had the house...and the TV to myself. I chose 2 movies that were neither uplifting nor encouraging, so I cried some more. Seriously, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas? What was I thinking?
Other than missing some events and making poor movie choices and wanting to claw my skin off, the whole bed rest weekend hasn't been so bad.
I'd get up and walk out to the kitchen to watch the clock and wait for the next one. Then I paced, got some water and when no consistency developed, I went back to bed. I figured I was going to need my rest because I was certain that when I saw the doctor later in the day, he'd send me right over to the hospital to have this baby. Never mind that I was 4 weeks early and it wasn't really time.
I stayed very composed but what I wanted to do was sob. I know babies need time in the womb. I know how very important that is. However, between having to check my glucose four times a day, watching my feet morph into unrecognizable orbs, and the constant nausea, I was DONE.
I went home and was a good mama. I sat on the couch and stayed there. I sat still, forgot about all the things on my to do list, and concentrated on gestating this baby. Well, that, and I cried.
Being a mama is hard work...even when you're sitting still.
Some Fun and Food on a Half Day of School
Today the kids had a half day of school. Normally I'm not very excited about these days. Half days don't leave time to do much before they come right back home. In a strange turn of events, nesting has kicked in just when my doctor told me to take it easy, as I'm already showing signs this baby will soon be on the way.
Today, I put all plans aside and decided to enjoy the time I had. The kids came home, changed clothes and I decided to take them to lunch because we had the time (and three free kids' meals). It's strange how you just somehow know when the end is getting near and I suddenly wanted one last hurrah with my big kids before they look even bigger.
There was nothing exceptionally special except it was just us, with no time limit, and no other plans.
That made it very special to me.
She has been a constant encouragement to me during these trying months. When I found out I failed my three hour glucose test, she was the first to call. She's been there, done that. When I wondered how to make heads or tails out of the hundreds of travel systems to choose from, I called her. She had the most recent experience with all this.
Today when I saw her with her baby in that restaurant, it was like no time had passed. We fell easily into conversation about how having kids close together is a blessing...and it's really, really hard. She and her husband are building a house. I had lots of input on that. We chatted so much, we hardly ate.
"Do you have a boy and a girl's name picked?" asked one of the kids.
"We haven't quite decided on either yet," I said, thinking this is a topic Nelson and I should hop on soon and very soon.
"Mama, why don't you just tell him that you're the one with the baby inside of you, so you should be the one to make the decision?"
Things to Be Grateful for When You're Not Pregnant (My Gift to You Today)
And how about the ability to reach the ringing phone before a) it stops ringing and b) you sound as if you've just finished the NYC Marathon? Without fail, the times I actually reach the phone before the machine picks up (which these days is about 30% of the time - not kidding), the person on the other end asks, "Did I catch you in the middle of your workout?", to which I'd love to respond, "Yes. I had to put the leg rest down, roll off the chair, get back upright AND THEN move towards the phone." I don't say that of course, but sometimes...it's the honest truth.
Which brings me to the impetus of this list - putting on a pair of boots. I have been very, very excited to have a bit of cooler weather lately. It helps. Yesterday morning, I decided to pull on my long boots over the cords I was wearing. I felt this was a good idea because they are so much cuter than tennis shoes (yes, fashion still matters when you're pregnant) and they do a much better job hiding my recently swelling ankles than the sandals I've been wearing every day for the last five months.
Now that you've got the socks on and you're wondering what was so hard about that, try boot number one. Remember that pulling your knee into your chest is no longer an option. So you struggle for a solid minute trying to find a position where you can actually reach your foot while still holding your boot. I recommend sitting on your bed for this part of the activity because it provides a much softer surface to fall back on.
Once you manage to get your foot into the boot, then you have to start with the whole issue of pulling on the boot while pulling down your pant leg inside the boot. This means that you still have to be able to reach down near your foot with your whole big belly in the way. You tug the boot up and pull the pant leg down and then tug and pull and tug and pull and pant because this is more exercise than you intended to do first thing in the morning.
And IF, you don't give up, AND you manage to do a sufficient enough job to merit actually continuing with the grand plan of wearing the cute boots that you're trying not to curse, THEN you have to zip the boot up. Remember those swollen ankles? Well now you're trying desperately to encase them in tight leather that does not like to give way to a few extra inches (okay, maybe centimeters but centimeters that feel like yards).
Today I'm wearing tennis shoes. Be grateful.
It's the very thought of this sweet baby that puts that smile on my face in the midst of the nausea, reflux, varicose veins, breathlessness, and now finger pricking and glucose testing four times every day. It has not been easy. However, I know that in a few short weeks all this suffering will be a quickly fading memory that will pale in comparison to the joy a child brings. This is what I heard the Lord say to me a few weeks ago as I sat in the chair waiting for the nurse to draw my blood and absolutely dreading the fasting and sugary drink that I was about to have to chug. I was intent on trying not to start the process feeling sick when the nurse plopped some paper work down on the counter next to me.
That's when I saw it. Permission for delivery - simple and sweet - right there shouting out at me. "Don't forget, you're about to have a baby!" And yet, I had. I had forgotten that glaring pie realization of that had me fighting back tears.
We tend to get so caught up in the here and now, the present suffering, that we forget that this is not the point. The here and now is just to prepare us for the glories ahead. This is not the end, but rather the means to THE END. We forget we're working towards Heaven, not living there. God didn't promise any of us a rose garden. He doesn't exempt us from suffering. In fact, He sent Jesus to explain that if we want to get to Heaven, we have to take up our cross and follow Him. But, He also promises us that if we do, what waits for us is so much better than we can wrap our minds around. It will be so good that we will forget this life, its trials and suffering.


radical cystectomy for bladder cancer: data from a pilot study of 1756 cases 2004-2011.
Hounsome LS., Abel GA., Verne J., Neal DE., Lyratzopoulos G.
UNLABELLED How often orthotopic reconstruction should be used after radical cystectomy is uncertain. Male sex, younger age, affluence, white ethnicity and treatment in specialist hospitals may be associated with more frequent use. More evidence about the level and likely variation in the use of orthotopic surgery is needed to establish whether there are inequalities and unmet need. In England during the study period orthotopic bladder reconstruction was likely to be used in about one in 15 patients treated by radical cystectomy. This is lower than previously reported in US series or European studies. eated by orthotopic reconstruction, as were more affluent patients and those with less advanced disease. Whether clinical reasons or patient choice can explain some of this variation is unclear. There was no evidence for variation between different English cancer networks. A specific procedure code to allow routine analysis of population-based nationwide data would be invaluable for ongoing monitoring of potential inequalities and unmet need. OBJECTIVE: To examine variation in the use of orthotopic bladder reconstruction. Variability in the use of orthotopic reconstruction may indicate potential for quality improvement. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We analysComplex Operations data set and Hospital Episode Statistics, covering the period 2004-2011. Three-level (patient, consultant and cancer network) mi organizational variation in use of orthotopic reconstruction. The primary outcome was the odds ratio for use of orthotopic reconstruction for different patient groups. RESULTS: The final analysis sample included 1756 patients with bladder cancer who were treated by cystectomy by 121 consultants in 17 cancer networks. Of these, 120 (6.8%) were treated by orthotopic bladder reconstruction by 49 consultants in 14 cancer networks. In multivariable analysis, use of orthotopic surgery was higher in younger patients (odds ratio [OR] = 0.37 per increasing 10-year age group from 30-39 to ≥70, P ≤ 0.001) and men (OR = 2.31, P = 0.005). There was also some evidence of less frequent use among more deprived patients (OR per decreasing deprivation quintile 1.17, P = 0.037) and those with advanced disease (OR per increase in stage category 0.8, P = 0.037). After accounting for patient- and consultant-level variation, there was very limited variation in the use of orthotopic reconstruction between different cancer networks. CONCLUSIONS: Within the study context, use of orthotopic surgery was relatively rare and variable between patients with different characteristics but not between different cancer networks. The extent by which this variation reflects variation in quality of care or patient choice is uncertain. Examining the dissemination of orthotopic surgery use using nationwide data is advisable. </s> Milkha Singh dVID-19.

cut out. That cancer is RELIGIOSITY. This couching of criticism and pettiness in ‘churchy’ language. This inability to speak openly and honestly about ANYTHING. This tyranny of Biddies who NEED you to use special words and a soft voice whenever you speak. THAT is what drives normal people from church- not people like me! It is a PRISON to live like that! I thank GOD, with all my heart, for my 25 year sabbatical from church life!!! I left the church over 25 years ago because of old biddies who criticized my love of God because I didn’t go around waving my arms in the air and speaking in jibberish like they all did in the crowd. What nonsense that all was! I praise the Lord to be back in church, but I am not the same girl I was then, hurt and confused. Now I will FIGHT this cancer!
Friends, according to these police wardens of religiosity, even JESUS and John the Baptist wouldn’t qualify as proper Christians! No, they wouldn’t. John most certainly would have to put on clothes for these people and his screaming on the side of the road would most certainly have to go! And Jesus? Can you imagine these biddies twittering if Jesus were here today, at an art festival, overturning craftsmen’s tables and whipping people??? HE would not be ‘holy’ enough for these ‘Christians, either!’
These religious people attack with their honeyed words and then act SHOCKED when you speak like a normal, offended person back to them! THAT is not the game they know! And then comes the Jesus martyr look on their faces, saying they ‘wished they had not spoken at all…’ and that ‘they did not mean to offend, but to lovingly correct, ‘ etc. Really? There is a part of me that wants to just slap that victim right there on the spot. Not very CHRISTIAN of me, now is it? No. But very HUMAN of me. And thank the Lord, I do not need to be perfect- and so I shall not pretend to be so! Continue reading “The Body of Christ Has A Cancer- It Must Be Cut Out!” </s> Product Description

I have been wanting to use this resource with my 9th grade son this year and was wondering a few things.
1. Does it give a bible reading plan?
If you use this study along with our suggested curriculum guide, the students will spend several years reading about God’s dealings with Israel as they are completing this book.
CM – :
My daughter just finished Wisdom from Proverbs. She is starting Foundations on Romans, is this the next advisable study? She did not use or write in the Discovery Doctrine. I’m not sure it was available then–Should she go back and make notations from her Proverbs study?
Discovering Doctrine is designed to be an ongoing project along with whatever Bible studies your child might be doing. On our SCM Curriculum Guide, we give a suggestion of how to study Genesis through Revelation in a six-year cycle. We focus on the narratives and Bible history for the first three years (Genesis through Acts) and then add in the epistles and Revelation over the next three years (Romans through Revelation). That’s just one suggestion. No matter what schedule you use, the important thing is to encourage your child to be on the lookout for any doctrinal truths that she finds along the way and to record them in her DD journalt. </s> Auteur de questions

On August 2, 2010 at 3 AM, while most of us are sleeping, certain news anchors decided to battle it out on Twitter. Similar to the fight seen in the movie, “Anchorman” anchors, meteorologists, and radio personnel all took park in a morning war with WSFL’s Jeff Mielcarz, WSVN’s Julie Durda, and WPOW’s (Power 96.5) Kristin Kelly being the instigators.

Its only byproduct of consumption is water; it is the most abundant element in the universe; and it is available at low cost. Hydrogen generation is possible via a number of possible chemical processes, to separate the hydrogen from its bond with atoms.
Robert J. Ouellette, J. David Rawn, in Organic Chemistry Study Guide, Reactions at the α Carbon atom of Acid Derivatives. A hydrogen atom bonded to the α carbon atom of an ester is an enolizable hydrogen atom. If the α carbon atom is chiral, the formation of the ester enolate results in loss of optical activity because a racemic mixture is formed when the ester is regenerated.

The understanding of the quantum mechanical nature of the hydrogen atom helps us understand how these lines arise. Hydrogen is also prevalent on Earth in the form of chemical compounds such as hydrocarbons and water.
Hydrogen has one one proton and one electron; the most common isotope, protium (1 H), has no neutrons. Hydrogen has a melting point of °C and a boiling point of °C. Hydrogen has a density of g/L, making it less dense. To denote this distinct chemical property, a mixture of water with an acid is given a name derived from the compound’s name.

The neutrons had just a little less energy than the protons. And the atom only held the extra energy shot off into space and became heat and most of the stars in the Universe, billions of hydrogen atoms are changing into helium atoms every day.
When a star runs out of hydrogen, it becomes a supergiant or a red giant star. A hydrogen atom is an atom of the chemical element electrically neutral atom contains a single positively charged proton and a single negatively charged electron bound to the nucleus by the Coulomb force.
Atomic hydrogen constitutes about 75% of the baryonic mass of the universe. In everyday life on Earth, isolated hydrogen atoms (called "atomic hydrogen") are extremely rare. Water is composed of molecules that contain two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen.
We describe the composition of water with the chemical formula H 2O. White sugar is a highly purified form of sucrose, whose chemical formula is C 12H Hydrogen in chemical atoms book Its molecules are composed of 12 carbon atoms, 22 hydrogen atoms, and 11 oxygen atoms.

Book: Chemical Principles (Dickerson) the oxygen atom in a molecule of water or methyl alcohol is slightly negative, and the hydrogen atoms are slightly positive (Figure ).
Such a molecule is termed polar because it behaves like a tiny electric dipole; that is, the negative charge on the oxygen attracts other nearby positive charges, and. A molecular formula is a representation of a molecule that uses chemical symbols to indicate the types of atoms followed by subscripts to show the number of atoms of each type in the molecule.
(A subscript is used only when more than one atom of a given type is present.) Molecular formulas are also used as abbreviations for the names of compounds.

The atomic hydrogen produced on carbon steel by corrosion processes in acid solution, e.g. pickling (also by electroplating, electro-cleaning and electro-polishing) does not all form hydrogen gas bubbles in the electrolyte.
Some hydrogen atoms diffuse through the material and recombine at a suitable point to form hydrogen gas, generating high internal pressures, blistering (Figure ) and a. Carbon (C) atoms attract electrons a little more strongly than hydrogen (H) atoms do.

An example of a simple chemical reaction is the breaking down of hydrogen peroxide molecules, each of which consists of two hydrogen atoms bonded to two oxygen atoms (H 2 O 2). The reactant hydrogen peroxide is broken down into water (H 2 O), and oxygen, which consists of two bonded oxygen atoms (O 2).

The average 70 kg ( lb) adult human body contains approximately 7 × 10 27 atoms and contains at least detectable traces of 60 chemical elements.
Chemical bonding introduction video shows how covalent bond means 2 hydrogen atoms can stick together to form a hydrogen molecule, H2. The video also explain.
Atoms with the same atomic number but a different mass number are isotopes. List the isotopes of hydrogen and of carbon. Be able to describe radioisotopes and list three ways they are used in biology. The union between the electron structures of atoms is known as the chemical bond. Hydrogen bonds can form between different molecules and they do not always have to include a water molecule.
Hydrogen atoms in polar bonds within any molecule can form bonds with other adjacent molecules. For example, hydrogen bonds hold together two long strands of DNA to give the DNA molecule its characteristic double-stranded structure.
A macroscopic sample of an element contains an incredibly large number of atoms, all of which have identical chemical properties. Figure A pre copper penny (left) contains approximately 3 × × 10 22 copper atoms (several dozen are represented as brown spheres at the right), each of which has the same chemical properties.
For heavier hydrogen-like atoms it is closer to \(m\). Notice that the radius depends on \(n^2\), so that, for example, the radius of the \(n = 2\) orbit is four times that of the \(n = 1\) orbit.
The reader should now calculate the radius of the first Bohr orbit for hydrogen.Formation of Covalent Bonds. Nonmetal atoms frequently form covalent bonds with other nonmetal atoms. For example, the hydrogen molecule, H 2, contains a covalent bond between its two hydrogen atoms.

TRANSPORT Minister Eamon Ryan’s plans to make public transport more appealing is much like a car with only three wheels under it.
That’s according to Fianna Fáil councillor Kevin Sheahan, who believes that one vital piece of the plan is missing – bus shelters.
At  Cllr Sheahan proposed that the Minister for Transport adopt a policy at national level to have bus shelters constructed where there is a bus stop.
The motion was seconded by Cllr Michael Collins (FF) and will now be sent to all local authorities for their consideration.
Fine Gael councillor Olivia O’Sullivan suggested that while this was a valid proposal in a “rural context”, bus shelters are often not wanted in city estates as they encourage antisocial behaviour.
“In scenarios where they are not wanted, we cannot force them on neighbourhoods. We need to err on the side of caution on this,” she said.
Green Party councillor Seán Hartigan fully supported the motion and said it was “very worthwhile”.
“I am very surprised to hear Cllr O’Sullivan come out against bus shelters,” he added, suggesting that she would “leave people standing out in the rain”.
Fine Gael councillor Adam Teskey called on the Council to construct a bus shelter at the Heritage Centre in Adare — a site owned by the local authority. Cllr Teskey said it was “badly needed” in the tourist village.
“We have a huge issue in County Limerick where people are left standing on the side of the road with rain pouring down on them,” he said.
Cllr Michael Donegan (FF) said that, in South East Limerick, bus stops were placed in an ad-hoc manner. He called for the motion to be forwarded onto the National Transport Authority (NTA).
Cllr Olivia O’Sullivan came back in to clarify that she wasn’t against bus shelters.
“I agree with bus shelters, and I would love to see them all have a green roof,” she said, alluding to plans by the Council to have the roofs of bus shelters covered in plant life.
Cllr Kevin Sheahan agreed that her earlier comments were reasonable as they came from a “reasonable councillor”.
“We might include in an audit the frequency of stops. There is only one stop in towns and villages. People on zimmer-frames can’t walk. No consideration is given,” he concluded.

I had a good practice in difficult conditions. Construction dust was again present as drains are put in on the downhill side of the track.
My car was working well. One change I made is to stiffen the front a little bit with purple progressive springs. I was getting chassis rub marks on both sides of the chassis. If necessary I can increase the tension on the tweak springs. I ran many good laps in spite of the dust. When I spun, the car would eject a little cloud of dust that would stain the track. I won't lie to you good driver skill was needed just to make laps.
We worked on Ron's car a bit. I noticed 4 spins about 2/3 down the straight. The car would just head off out into the rocks. My car was not doing this. Finally I drove his car and it handled well. Then 2/3 down the straight, I spun off into the rocks. This is without having done it with my car in maybe 40 laps that day. I decided the fault was insufficient wing. We are both expecting just a little more rear down force at that point in the track. On better traction days this problem will not show, but you can be assured that with a 10.5 you will be getting some tire bounce or dancing that will keep you from accelerating further.
The dilemma is the car is a Viper body with low Cab roof. So the question is to keep it scale or go with a decent size wing. Well a decent 2 inch chord wing is specified in the roar rules for the 1/10 pan GT class. This is really what you need when you are using a 10.5 or more powerful motor on a large outdoor track.

John, you've got a pm.
What rollouts you guys use for 21.5, 17.5, 13.5 and so on? I run 2s lipo with 21.5 @ 52mm rollout. just trying to get ideas here.

Jhock-I don't run those on 2s LiPo so I will direct you to the Novak gearing info in a minute.
Plenty of guys from Europe who use 3.5s and 4.5s on 2s LiPo check in to this thread once in a while. I thought I would copy this post over here on the New LRP X12. Check out the huge power.
Novak GTB, Novak velocity 3.5R VS LRP sphere Competition TC edition and X 12 3.5 R
Finally The Sentry Dyno is to the point where serious and accurate comparisons can be made on powerful motors.
This first comparison is with a Novak GTB and the Novak velocity 3.5. These are first generation items. I have had the motor a long time and used it a lot in the wide pan car. The marriage of the two is perfect. The second items in the comparison are the LRP TC edition speed control and second powerful generation LRP X12. This motor has been run once in my touring car. Again this is a happy marriage. There is plenty of traction for all the power that is available.
If you look at figure one The Novak by itself The chart shows peak power of 524 W. I manually input the highest RPM now looking at the raw data file, the motor reached 61224 RPM. The pitch is really screaming, but the sound level is very tolerable and smooth due to the floating motor mount.
Notice the green line is amps on this graph. It rises to a quick peak and then tapers off as the motor spins up and reverse voltage is built up. The shape is very similar to the stock motor i posted previously but now its up at 220 amps. That second green point pegs the amp meter at 220 (there is a peak on the line) and then there is a slow reduction (the line goes down). This is the typical amp curve a motor would have if no active timing was used.
The third chart shows the LRP TC edition running the X12 3.5. The motor reaches a screaming highest measured 68965 RPM. Higher than the older Novak motor. It also reaches a remarkable 675 Watts. Thats just a remarkable increase over their old X11 3.5 and 150 W more than Novak's Older 3.5
Note the amp draw at the beginning (the green line) is non typical. I have had to use a throttle ramp which slows slightly the application of full throttle (similar to a throttle roll on we talk about). This was necessary to eliminate some stuttering on full throttle on the dyno. On the track the motor is delightfully smooth and free of this effect.
Note that Novak has a new ballistic series of motors. I have a 3.5 on backorder with Novak. I'll test it when received.
Now I just have to see if I can run 5 minutes with this new LRP 3.5. The higher 60% efficiency (yellow line on right hand figure) suggest that I can.
One thing I noted previously is the LRP can is ventilated. There are not any air moving devices inside so air flow is small. The motor still runs pretty hot, but its a step in the right direction.
I had a nice run a week ago at the track but wondering one question. Do you use much drag brake and if so how much? Also do you use your brake or do you just let off on the throttle? I don't use my brake at all and wondering if I should learn to brake at certain areas of the track? Any info/help would be greatly appreciated.
I don't like drag brake on the wide pan, Your car will tend to stall mid turn. I do use brakes on some hairpin (very tight, shaped like a hairpin) turns. I found with the automatic lap timer on and sounding the lap times out loud, I could run a little faster if I used brakes on two of the hairpins. If the layout has no tight turns you can do without brakes. Most powerful wide pan car guys probably do not use brakes. The lap time is the key to use or not to use.
The amount of brakes you use depends on traction available. You use your throttle EPA to reduce the brakes. I can use 70% in high traction and 45% in low traction. In low traction on a dusty hairpin a light tap of the brakes can set the front wheels and give you good turn in. Generally you only brake in a straight line. As soon as you are off the brakes then turn the wheels gently. The weight will already be transferred to the front by brake application. Brakes on the brushless motor speed controls now are much improved over the first generation brakes. They use to be really weak. Now you have a good amount to play with.
I had a great run today, checked my drag brake and it was set to 9% I took off the drag brake and damm this thing was a rocket!!! Though I did hit hard on the first run as I was still not use to the drag brake but once I got a hang of it I was staying up with the nitro guys.
P.S. The side dams and wing are working great!!!
Here is my report with things I have done as of this week. For starters these are the new items acquired and installed on my kit clamping one piece side links, spring retainers, bronze front end lower arm balls. Right off the bat I noticed a huge difference with the clamping side links, the car handled straight and seemed a bit stiffer not sure if this is doing it or what but I did notice a difference. The other thing I liked about the spring retainers was that when I tweaked the car the springs were much more in place compared to the original spring retainers. Of course I disabled the drag brake on my Novak GTB and also a huge, huge difference. Car was fast, strong and a bit scary I might say. I had to slam the brakes at a few times something I have not done since I have had this kit. But once I got the hang of it I was just letting it run.
Track was dusted, sprayed and the temparture was right on the money. Could not have a nicer day for practice.
P.S. Forgot to mention that I also installed side dams and wing on the p905b and has made a huge difference in how my kit handles. Thanks John for the template.

I got the same updated Gen-X 10 parts some time ago; but, have not had the chance to install. Currently concentrating on my TC setups for 13.5 at the Reedy.
Get an SXP speedo if you are running 17.5 or 13.5 in your Gen-X 10. You won't regret it!

The new goodies from CRC helped the car alot. The longer new side links where nice. one thing i didn't like was the spring retainer because it was made of plastic. it wears out instantly due to the matierial. the original metal works best for me.
finally got my car dialed for Outdoor Asphalt dusty track.(track does not use any type of sugar coating additive)

Redwork - A Super-Simple Beginner's Project August 15, 2008 travelbug1237 Comments (46) Not rated yet Do to the project directly. (Chatty Cathy is going strong 1-8) HH (Hello Hello) Fellow M’Eers, I hope all is going well for you and that your MEing is going great! I hope too that your machines are purring and you are still happy and excited about your hobby!!!! Even if you’ve had some glitches, I hope you are at least DOING something with your machine!!! (I am speaking more to myself than to you, here.) I was so swamped (and stressed) with “other things’ (summer school, kids crisis, renters, c- tunnel flair up, canning, July blogs not done on time, & a very excited husband not packed but headed for Alaska to fish with some sons etc) Everything is getting back to normal now finally with the exception my home looks like a cyclone went through it!!!.:) I don’t do well in chaos and clutter and it sure has been both to the max. One special friend (with whom I did share all the gory details of ALL that’s been going on) suggested I needed to go to a spa & drink a bottle of wine. Well 1. I can’t afford a spa. (since I bought so many THINGS) and: 2. I don’t drink alcohol, but I did tell her that I was going to drink my home-grown grape juice - STRAIGHT - completely UNDILUTED!!!! - We’re talking strong stuff!!! L0L Now that’s getting serious!! (I bought an entire case of Pepsi when I went through my divorce but that’s another story.) I’m off caffeine except for chocolate; & it would behoove me to drop that too. I’ve done almost nothing on my machine for the last few weeks…although I did make up for it shopping for things to ‘help me embroider better ’!!!! Not all stress is bad, right???? (Well not until the Visa bill comes at least, - but unfortunately/fortunately I just learned how to do online banking…holy cow…now that is an eye opener to see what one can do to themselves shopping with on-line shopping now too !!!!!! ) I used to pay off my visa once a month…then had to do it twice a month to keep on top of it…lately it’s been every 2- 3 days!!! Enough is enough!!! I guess I should give a word of warning to any of your newbies….PHEW…It can be addictive and at least for me…since I am so new…I just got “ALL EXCITED” when I saw NEW designs that I thought I just HAD to HAVE right then etc (oh and ALWAYS the ‘carrot dangling ’ …” ON SALE” …well if it’s on sale then I had ‘better hurry’ or I might miss out!….Those marketers have me all figured out!!!! (My son, who DOES have a degree in marketing from UNLV, sat with me one day while we were at a ‘presentation’ and he explained what the steps are that sales people were going to use (which they did) …so it isn’t that I have never been told….Well I am now “putting the BRAKES on until I take care of , & find a place for WHAT I already have, & USE it - at least SOME of what I have!” Now THAT is a good plan! OK don’t faint…. I am actually going to share with you a REAL project for any of you beginners out there like myself - who might not know where to begin. It’s been awhile…sorry!!! Really I am!!! You might have heard many different terms describing various types of machine embroidery; appliqué, trapunto, rosemaling, FSL ( free standing lace- which is really easy – honest), etc etc ) and you might feel a bit overwhelmed. I did and still do, but I personally am GOING BACK to the BASICS here and I am going to do more of them! I am truly a beginner and it’s where I’m at & need to be because I am just learning. I felt somehow that I needed to hurry up and learn as many new things so I could be blogging about them….but now I am SO happy because there are more and more bloggers coming on to Ann’s site who can help those who are advanced and/or wanting to learn a specific technique. They KNOW what they are doing & HAVE EXPERIENCE…) I think it is so great too that Ann is adding a quilting section…that is SO very popular!!!!! My friend Kitty will be beyond thrilled! She’s been at it for a long time and so far I haven’t gotten into it because I see fabric stashes in the horizon if I do and I don’t need ANY more stashes of ANYTHING for awhile!!! So I am going to take a new fresh deep breath, drink my grape juice (diluted in the near future I hope) and enjoy the rest of this embroidery journey I started just a few months ago. It’s time to HAVE FUN and ENJOY embroidering!!!! I can’t wait to do projects and give them as gifts …be they small or humble to begin with. **** OK. Let’s begin the PROJECT of RED WORK A very basic, but still VERY nice gift to give is called “REDWORK. “ I believe it is usually done on kitchen hand towels but could be done on napkins, a quilt square, baby receiving blanket, gardening towel, purse, eyeglass holder, napkins and probably a golf towel too. I’m sure you’ll come up with lots of ideas once you do it yourself. Then please DO share it with me in Ann’s community. We’ll love to see and/or hear about it!!! I didn’t know (prior to doing it) that REDWORK is almost identical to BLACKWORK & GREEN WORK and I am pretty certain BLUE work could be found too, so why stop there?????…Why don’t the EMBROIDERY gurus on high out there just call it COLORWORK???? Hmmmm??? I am serious! It would be easier for us beginners….plus it would be like getting 3 + things for the price of one training!!!… (What a bargain!!) The ONLY thing I found out to be different was the color of thread you use!!!! …although when looking at different designs you can buy, they were separated into different categories. Why????? Hmmmm someone more advanced than I can set me straight, but to me as a beginner, I could have missed out on black work for example, and think it ( ‘blackwork’ ) was a completely different embroidery type that may have used a different technique/stabilizer/ etc etc. Not so!!!! So why make something so simple – harder???? They’re all SIMPLE!!!! Until an expert sets me straight I think they are INTERCHANGEABLE. OK…enough editorializing…here we go…. Supplies needed for the project Ethan and I did (besides your machine and hoop) 1. Hand towel 2 Embroidery thread 3. Bobbin thread ( I used white.) 4. Tear away stabilizer 5. Redwork/ blackwork etc ‘design’ (It has many fewer stitches than many designs and NO fill.) 6. Rick Rack (optional but I really thought it added A LOT) 7. Alphabet for name/ or day of the week etc (optional) We did it and we really liked the individualization. Hint…..In the embroidery class when we did it, the towels were NOT washed in advanced and they looked crisp and wonderful. They still do because I haven’t used them yet because I knew once the dust settled, I’d be blogging about it and wanted to photograph them while they still looked really new. Yesterday I bought SEVERAL similar towels but ALL in SOLID colors (from the same store the teacher bought ours) and WASHED THEM IN ADVANCE, so as to remove any sizing. I also put in one sheet of Color Catcher (recommended by a quilt shop) into the washer (made by Shout that says it “traps color –runs to protect clothes.) I got the box - a pkg of 24 for less than $5. I put all 75 (of them into the dryer (2 loads ) also in order to make sure that they would NOT shrink after the stitching was done so no puckering would occur. WELL…. ALL the new towels/napkins I bought FADED, and my rainbow of colors now look like worn-out wanna-be cleaning cloths. I am SOOOO disappointed. (I washed the colored ones in COLD water…& only the very light yellow ones in warm water.) I am going tomorrow to Lynn, who is a professional embroiderer that I met in ‘ embroidery group’, to see what she thinks. Rather than fancy napkins for each person, I think I’ll change the theme to ‘gardening’ this next Christmas or bike rags for one family who designs racing bikes etc. I’ve heard so many times to do a ‘test’ on your patterns…well I suggest you do a ‘test’ on ANY new fabric before you even do a stitch. Had I NOT done that 1st step of getting rid of any sizing….they would have been beautiful at least at first glance…I’m not a quilter so it could be worse…had I done them all up into squares thinking they’d be a beautiful rainbow quilt and then given as a gift…only to have it all faded whammo fast would have been so disheartening… OK…. Back to the DIRECTIONS for doing the dish towels. The only ‘hard’ part (& it wasn’t that hard ) one could say, is getting the PLACEMENT of the design WHERE you want it on your towel. You may want to measure it so that it is up from the bottom edge about 4 or so inches & get it centered. (You can fold your towel 2 directions to get the center or use one of the fancier ‘gadgets’ to get it centered.). Once you place the tear away stabilizer UNDER the towel (& some put a water soluable on the top…but we didn’t in class) and then HOOP it tightly…Snap it all into your it it machine & then sit back and be thoroughly AMAZED how QUICKLY it stitches out and then you are done. VOILA!!! Well except for a few tiny thread clippings & tearing the stabilizer off the bottom. I think you will love it!!! Hint….Just select your designs in advance if you know for sure who it’s going to.…E SHOULD have gotten a rooster for example rather than a hen….but we’ll do better next time!!! (He’s so flexible…He just went with the flow being a black hen instead of a rooster!!!! ) Not all men would go for that!!! What a guy!) His towel is called BLACK WORK and my towel is called RED work. EVERYTHING was done exactly the same EXCEPT for the color of thread used!!!! See I told you….Now you can do MULTIPLE types of machine embroidery EVEN if this is your very 1st project!!! It takes just a FEW minutes to get the design on the towel!!! REALLY FAST!!! We did add the rick rack on both of ours. I think they turned out really cute!!! IF you do put rick rack on, your machine must be able to do a simple sewing stitch or hand stitch it on. I may NEVER ever WASH them….but for now I just love them. (SO I also would not use water soluble because that would need to be removed with H2O, and I am not high on ‘washing with water right now.”). BRAND NEW, they would make a darling wedding or hostess gift. SOOOOOO good luck on your NEWEST PROJECT. If you try to choose this. I will love hearing from you!!!! Hugs, Cathy...speaking of ‘hens’ this one needs to ‘fly the coop’ for a week at the beach & I will! P.S. For Newbies' eyes only… what do you say…Shall we unite and start using the term “COLOR WORK “ and see how soon it catches on in the embroidery world.???!!! Hmmmmmm We’d have our very OWN NEW technique called COLOR WORK…..we could make it famous.!!! We need to be brave and expand our vision….!!! , sort of like when the “Fosbury Flop” was 1st shown publicly to the world of track and field. Do any of you remember when 1st did it ???- It was a new style for high jumping which now is used in the Olympics instead of the scissor style. BtW we went to the same high school & I saw him practicing!!! I just stared at him and he just smiled back. To finish the story, I scissored 4’2” when I was younger…went to Europe gained 30 lbs and jumped 2’6” when I got back!!!) True story! My track days were SO over!!!! So, what do you say newbies…Shall we start a NEW movement??? Heavens… I can see it now!!! I LOVE hot pink, purple, violet and lots of other colors. I also LOVE SIMPLE and quick….I couldn’t help but think it sure would be nice to be in the position of agranddaughter of Ann's - getting to do a project already selected and having it completed in a short time under her trained and experienced eyes!!!! Lucky girl!!!! Ann, do you want to become even MORE famous than you already are??? How about doing a collection of SUPER SIMPLE designs that you did for your granddaughter by putting them into a new package marketed “especially for beginners’ and calling it COLOR WORKS. It could be the newest and hottest trend !!!! We’d love it, right!!! Let’s hear it for Ann !!!! (We’d just have to change embroidery threads.) Yeah!!!! Just think you could be right on the cutting edge and we readers on AnntheGran will KNOW exactly what it is…right off the bat…even before the golden oldies know what it is?? Yeah for us newbiesredwork , blackwork , alphabets , gift ideas , newbies

Hunger and food insecurity are connected to the faltering economy.
QUESTION: WMFE-
90.7 FM'n some of the contributing factors that make hunger and food insecurity big problems.
FISHKIND: First, there's been an incomplete recovery from the "Great Recession," and so we're down on total job growth. The job growth that has occurred has been primarily in lower wage paying jobs. Here in Central Florida we haven't had much of a recovery yetof the growth in jobs - which has been pretty good - has been in service sector jobs and in tourism jobs.
Secondly, the composition of our local economy is heavily dependent upon tourism and service jobs, so that adds to the financial pressures. And third, there's been major demographic change in the country, particularly in Central Florida, with a lot more retirees, and our retirees tend to have modest amounts of wealth.
Q:What's a good way to get our heads around this collectively? How can we take a look at the numbers? Are there statistics available?
FISHKIND: Yes, I think the best statistics relate to the SNAP program -. And the enrollment growths are really pretty startling. In the United States, enrollment in SNAP is up 71 percent from 2008 to 2013. In Florida, SNAP is up 150 percent - second highest in the whole country - only Nevada's had a bigger increase. More than 20 percent of all Floridians are receiving SNAP. In Orange County, SNAP enrollment is up 250 percent, compared to 2008 - almost 25 percent of all people in Central Florida are on SNAP.
Q:That seems like something we've been hearing for a while, 'we're going to see things getting better, slowly.' Is that continuing to be the case?
FISHKIND: The pace of growth is accelerating somewhat in Florida. It will accelerate, I believe, in the second half of 2013. I think 2014 will be a much better year, and I think these SNAP numbers will go down naturally, as the economy improves. But there's still an awful lot of people who will remain on SNAP.


of the residual distribution is long, and the distribution is skewed. If I saw a plot like this in real data, I would look at other plots (such as the plot of residuals versus the predicted values) to see if the residuals exhibit a pattern that can be modeled.
Several SAS regression procedures produce a regression diagnostics panel automatically. Each graph reveals information about the regression model and whether it fits the data well. This article has described how to interpret a residual-fit plot, which is located in the last row of the diagnostics panel. The residual-fit spread plot, which was featured prominently in Cleveland's book, Visualizing Data, is one tool in the arsenal of regression diagnostic plots.
Awesome, this certainly clarifies a lot.

Part 2: The Industrialisation of Consciousness. </s> In analyzing modern political discourse in the West, identity is increasingly a recurring theme in heated debates surrounding rights frameworks, legitimacy, and the marginalization of oppressed groups by state actors. As knowledge production on gender and sexuality bring newer conceptions of gender identity and sexual behavior to the mainstream of academia and society at large, a tension has emerged between traditional and essentialist positions on gender and sexuality, and post-modernist and post-structuralist critiques of those positions.
When state ideology intersects with traditionalism and essentialism, the results can be catastrophic for marginalized peoples struggling for recognition and accommodation from the state. This is the case in many western liberal democracies, whfaced essentialist motivated state interference for decades. Some examples of this interference include mandatory sterilization policies as a precondition for sex-change operations, binary and cis-normative identification options on official state documents, and medical “corrective” This is paradoxical when considering that a significant aspect of modern liberal statecraft includes the promotion human rights (and by extension LGBTQ rights) abroad. This begs the question; what factors contribute to the normative and essentialist paradigm that allows for western democracies to continue to? This article will analyze the conditions that allow for the current paradigm to dominate western liberal democracies while exploring the need for a phenomenological shift in how these democracies view the bodies of their populations in order to bring justice to these historically marginalized groups.
The ideological foundation for most liberal democracies can be found in Enlightenment-era theory that advocated fors. Influential works from philosophers such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau argued in favor of the people legitimating government policy via the concept of “La Volonté Générale” or the ‘general will’.[i] This radical idea posited that the will of the people legitimized the actions of their government. In turn, the people were supposed to abandon any exterior identity outside of the state (i.e. citizenship) since the government was supposed to act in an egalitarian fashion, thus eliminating the need for identities born out of different social experiences.[ii] In revolutionary France, this resulted in the concept of Universalism, which acts as a cornerstone of the Republican ideology that still dominates French statecraft.[iii] In the United States, the idea of the ‘General Will’ influenced the creation of the Bill of Rights.[iv] In nearly all liberal democracies, the ‘General Will

Aztec alumnus Hegarty is a happy Duck

On Saturday, Hegarty will walk on to the field for the final time as a college athlete when his Oregon Ducks play TCU in the Alamo Bowl in San Antonio, Texas. When the game is over, the former standout from Aztec High School will set his sights and his heart on the NFL.
At 20 years old, Hegarty underwent surgery to close the holes.
“It’s been a great season,” Hegarty said. “We dropped a few games early in the year, but we kind of rallied midyear and we’re excited about playing in the Alamo Bowl.”
After redshirting in 2011, Hegarty played in the first nine games of 2012, mostly on Notre Dame’s special teams, before his stroke. He came back strong in 2013, playing in every game and getting his first career start against Stanford a little over a year after his health scare. Hegarty then started the final 11 games of the 2014 season, including a win in the Music City Bowl.
Things were looking up for Hegarty heading into his senior year, but Notre Dame coaches had other ideas. Hegarty said he was told he would not be starting his senior year, but instead would rotate among the offensive line positions and his playing time would not be guaranteed.
“The next toughest thing in my life was making that decision to transfer for my last year,” Hegarty said. “I had some of my best friends there. It’s my alma mater. I love that school and spent the last four years of my life there. But I was excited. Oregon took my call and I had an opportunity to come play here.”
“It was better year than I could have asked for,” Hegarty said. “Probably one of the most fun years I’ve ever had.”

Christmas tree: to decorate or not to decorate?
On Sunday, Kyle, Skye and I were tasked with getting a Christmas tree. Itgiven that we always get our tree from the same place. But it is in fact a huge responsibility. If we get it wrong, we have to live with the consequences (mainly in the form of nagging) for a whole year. The main issue with choosing a tree is the size: the boys want the biggest they can find. Two years ago, we had a tree that did not fit in our room so the top was bending, touching the ceiling. No way we could fit the star at the top. It was pathetic really…The year after, the boys agreed to take a slightly smaller one. This time, it fit, but barely. So we decorated the tree, but we could not switch the lights on in the lounge for a whole month because the tree needles were touching the bulb and threatening to catch fire. I don't want to use the word "pathetic" again, so I'll let you choose your own word to describe such a (pathetic) situation. This year, I took charge of the size problem. It is easier for me, because as far as I am concerned, I don't want a tree. It's just extra hours of vacuuming, extra mess, extra clutter. NOT. GOOD. So I was on a mission to get the smallest tree I could get away with. Kyle knew this and he was prepared to argue with me. And he did!
After we secured the tree in its stand, it was time to decorate. The kids were quite excited. It's one of these rare occasions where everybody wants to participate, and no one is trying to pick up a fight. I rushed downstairs to grab the crate where the decorations were stored so we could get started…It took me about an hour to find them. Because, if my house is somewhat messy and disorganized, my basement is a place where no human being should ever go. It is full of stuff piled on top of other stuff with stuff above and under that. So yeah!
"Come on, guys!Stop messing. Let's decorate the tree!"
My only question really is: what are you supposed to do with the back of the tree?The part that is facing the window?If you don't decorate it, it looks a little odd and unbalanced in case anyone ventures behind the tree. And by the way, it will likely be a pet, and I am pretty sure that neither the cat, nor the dog cares about what kind of decorations are at the back of the tree – or the front for that matter. So who are you really decorating the back of the tree for?For the creep who might be peering out your window and spying on you?The squirrels?

Harrison Maddox: "Great cities have great public transit."
He also is among a handful of people selected to help launch the agency's METROtrack app that tells where a particular bus is at any given moment. Harrison was one of the "beta testers" – volunteers who had early access to the app to find, and iron out, any kinks in the system. "This is an incredible asset for people to know exactly when they should be at a bus stop," he says.
"The bus-bike combination is a great way to expand my range," says Maddox, who has been using the transit service regularly for about five years.
Along with the bus racks, Maddox has seen other improvements to services, particularly the various ways riders can purchase bus passes. More routes and more buses at night would be appreciated, he says. : he says.

Entrance to the Thairungruang Backpackers Hotel </s> I woke up this morning at 6:30 am and dressed myself in some ORANGE and BLUE running gear. Because, my friends, it is game day. It is college football season and I will let that influence my wardrobe every Saturday for the next three or more months.
Together, Ingrid and I ran another touristy route that was a little under six miles long. She was going on about 5 hours of sleep so I was impressed by her energy, and her ability to respond to text messages throughout. We ran pretty slowly, which I think was good for both of us. We talked about lots of things, one of which was the feeling of community you get when running the streets so early in the morning. One of my favorite things about 6 AM runs before work is that 70% of people (total guestimation) you see out are also running. The same thing happens when you're up and running by 8 AM on a Saturday morning. It's a good reason to do this more often. We took turns photographing each other, and ourselves together, but never stopped running to do it. I also took a few creeper pictures of other runners in this little "community" I speak of.
At mile 8.15, it was byebye Ingrid. We didn't stop to say goodbye so my legs kept going going going. I ran up 16th street, which is a long uphill road out of the city. I contemplated turning on Park Road and running through Mount Pleasant, making my route a bit longer. But when I reached Columbia and 16th, I made a last minute decision to turn and run through Adam's Morgan. Good thing I did because I ran by Nikki on a walk home with her own bottle of water and gym bag. Nikki, my friend training for her first marathon, was a member of the Saturday morning running community. Six weeks out from her marathon, she ran 15 miles this morning and rocked it! So y

WSU wins big grant from FAA for bio-fuels research
SEATTLE - The FAA announced a $40 million grant toextensive research into development of aviation bio fuels.
The grant is intended to establish a Center of Excellence, with both WSU and MIT heading a team of universities that also  Stanford and eight others.
The schools are asked to develop research in a variety of areas ranging from new alternative aviation fuels to studying the wear the new fuels might put on aircraft engines, even differences those fuels might make to aircraft noise.
"We've established a goal to use one billion gallons of alternative jet fuel by 2018." Said FAA Administrator Michael Huerta in an interview with KING5 News. "That's not very far off." Huerta says the government wants to cut consumption of petroleum based jet fuels by two percent a year. But the grant is really seed money. More that 50 otheexpected to contribute to the research, and include Boeing, Airbus, Cessna, Gulfstream, the Massachusetts Port Authority, Argonne National Laboratory, Airports Council International--North America, Honeywell, General Electric Aircraft Engines, Rolls Royce, Pratt and Whitney and airlines including United, Delta and Alaska.
"This is an effort to jump start research." Added Huerta. "We expect that is going to leverage matching funds from local governments, industry partners and the universities themselves."
Boeing, Alaska Airlines, United and other aerospace and fuelfuels for nearly a decade. Testing ranges from the non-food camelina plant, an oil seed grown across the northern plains, to other alternatives made from algae to spent cooking oil used to fry chickens. In its request for proposals, the universities were asked to develop fuel performance testing. Huerta said, "Washington State and MIT put forward and great proposal which represents wonderuniversity community which really answer the question. How do we advance the deployment of alternative fuels in aviation?"
"WSU is a land grant school. It has a long history in plant science and engineering." said Ralph Cavalieri, the Associate Vice President for Alternative Energy and "That is what this is all about. Plant science and engineering. Bringing it all together." "'s national plan to address cAirlines have expressed strong interest in alternative fuels as a way to shield themselves from volatile oil prices, as well as a way to reduce their carbon footprint. Airlines say fuel is now their largest single expense. In 2011, flew 75 regularly scheduled flights both cross country and regionally using a 20% blend of bio fuel refined from cooking oil and chicken fat. That fuel was priced at $17 a gallon. A big question is how much industrial scale production of bio fuels would bring down the cost. WSU and the UW have already been deeply involved in bio fuel research. A key idea under study in the northwest is using logging slash and other wood waste from Northwest forests. WSU says one ton of dry logging slash can be turned into 42 gallons of refined jet fuel, and U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell said that estimates are that there's nearly 17 million tons of unused forest bio-mass available. Wood waste has been advanced in part as a way to make removal of flammable forest debris more economical and to hold down the risk of wild land fire. Environmental organizations want to guard against too much woody debris being taken from the forest as it is part of a healthy eco system. But even using part of that debris means that half of the petroleum based jet fuel could be replaced at all northwest airports, even military ones in the four northwestern states, Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana.
WSU's Dr. Cavalieri says one of the keys is to source fuels close to where they're grown. Wood waste in the Northwest, tropical plants in Hawaii, which is why the University of Hawaii is also one of the 14 schools taking part. The grant would provide $4 million a year for each of the 10 years the program would run. Print


We love shopping. And if you see the amount of excellent fashion & lifestyle stores in the small country of the Netherlands, we believe you do too.

So if a friend of you who you're have coffee with goes: 'Oh, how cute is this plant on the table', you could say: 'well, go ahead and buy it…' which is magnificent of course. After you finished you coffee you can go up to the actual place to be. When entering this place you'll be stunned by the greatness of an atmospheric place which houses a lunchroom, a hairdresser, different shop-in-shops and a whole lot of very special lifestyle and fashion brands. They even accommodate the occasional festival. About 80% of their collection is sustainable and a 100% is moving. With 'moving' we mean 'never standing still', all with the mere goal of surprising the customers every time they re-enterthis wonderful store.
In an attempt to describe this store, we can approach reality best with the words 'eye for detail' and 'flawless'. I use the word 'approach', didn'' Don't worry though, you'''Holdbar', meaning 'sustainable','sn''gezelligheid' as they know it. If you're around, don't be shy, just have a look and enjoy the vibe.

Wolfe, a plant biology professor at Ohio State University, says we as humans need to understand how important plants and natural environments are to our lives. She calls the lack of acknowledgement “plant blindness.”
“It really would take a complete change in our our thinking in terms of what quality of life means, she says. “We live in an age where consumerism is our measure of happiness — the more you have, the happier you arat's not the way life occurs, and these people are very happy. So, ‘What do we need to be happy?’
“Of course, invasive species is probably one of the primary impacts. But think about how people use the land. I mean, think about the island of Oahu and think about Honolulu, what that might have looked like 100 years ago compared to what it looks like today. Urban development is a primary cause. Infrastructure development is a cause. Agriculture is a cause. Island systems are particularly prone to problems with rarity and extinction.”
“If you think about [the] western United States, a lot of our land out West is public land. One of the highest impacts to native plant life in the western states is from cattle grazing. So just by having cattle on land that never had cattle before, I mean we had buffalo of course, but their behavior is quite different than rangeland cattle. They eat everything, except for the poisonous plants and the ones that have a lot of thorns and defense mechanisms. So when you have that type of disturbance on the landscape, the native plants are not adapted to that type of pressure.”
“It's very easy toBut when you're in a situation where these losses of species can have a huge impact on yourself, then people might start to pay more attention.”
