Pet of the Month for February is Blackie!
Pet of the Month for February is Blackie!
Blackie came in to see us a short while ago after his owners were concerned about his overly frequent toileting habits! He was admitted for the day to collect a urine sample which revealed some crystals. We then performed ultrasound on Blackie because we suspected that he might have bladder stones, but there were no signs of these at the time, so Blackie was sent home on a special diet to dissolve the crystals.
A few months later the same problem started to occur with Blackie. He was again admitted with us for about a week whilst his owners were off the island so we could monitor him and give him daily medication and keep him on the special diet. By the end of the week Blackie was back to urinating normally and another ultrasound was carried out confirming that his bladder wall was back to normal.
Blackie is now at home and being maintained on the special diet which breaks down these crystals that can cause discomfort for cats. He was such a cooperative and sweet patient that we felt he really deserved to be voted Pet of the Month!

Proverbs 29:18 Dissected & Defined
Where there is no vision (sight), the people perish (die): but he that keepeth (guards) the law (set of boundaries), happy is he.
Have you ever wondered why God paired these two statements together? They seem to have nothing to do with each other. I admit that I saw it that way until I dissected and defined its Hidden meaning.
Don't Forget: Remember the Colon
Remember that the colon (:) in the middle simply means that the second statement just further explains the first statement. Let's look at an Old Testament story and leader that will teach us the truth that is Hidden in this verse.
The Israelites (God's chosen people) had become slaves to the Egyptians. God raised up a man amongst them to lead the Israelites out of bondage into the promised land of Canaan.
Lessons From God to You and Me
Solomon was the wisest man to ever live, save Jesus. God granted him a peaceful reign and wealth untold. His son, to whom the book of Proverbs is written to, is lessons and principles that Solomon desired to impart to him as he assumed his father's throne.
Likewise, Proverbs is inspired by God to you and me with wise lessons from the Holy Spirit. He teaches us interpersonal skills, business techniques, marriage advice, development truths… it's all wrapped up in the book of Proverbs.
Vision Impacts People
I believe this verse is Solomon sharing with his son a key to why God had anointed his kingdom to such a great degree. It was because he had vision. Anyone that God uses greatly to make an impact on people's lives must have sight. They must have a dream, a driving passion. Without it, the people die!
Every occasion that God gave a vision though, He revealed it to a leader to be expounded upon to his followers. It is then the role of the followers to stay within the set of boundaries set up by the leader's vision. "Happy is he" that follows his leader.
Surely each of us knows the busy days that lie ahead of us. It would be easy for us to get sidetracked by the business and demands that we have on us. Without His vision, people perish!

Yesterday I ran a workshop on making wire wrapped loop charms to make earrings, necklaces or bracelets. It was part of the Arts and Crafts Taster Week being held by, and raising money for, Palace Green Pavilion in Berwick upon Tweed.
There are workshops and demonstrations being held there every day this week by local artists, so if you are in the area check it out!
There were a super group of ladies in attendance who created some beautiful earrings and charm bracelets during the morning. To those of you who were going to finish of pieces at home I'd love to see the finished results! Please send photos to firstname.lastname@example.com
I'll be back at the Pavilion on Friday demonstrating something jewellery related and there will be a small selection of my work available there all week.

In what is seen as one of the largest recalls in the automotive industry, Japanese carmaker Toyota Motors has announced a recall of more than 6 million vehicles globally.
The company has recalled the Yaris, Urban Cruiser (manufactured between January 2005 and August 2010), RAV4 and Hilux (between June 2004 and December 2010) models to fix problems with the wiring harnesses, steering column and seat railings. A total of 1,058 cars were found to have problems, leading the company to announce the biggest recall ever. In Europe alone around 8,25,000 cars were recalled.
As part of the company's global exercise, in India Toyota issued a recall for 45,000 units of its multi-utility vehicle (MPV) Innova, which were manufactured between February 2005 and December 2008, over a problem with the steering column. The repair will be done free of cost.
"The campaign has been announced due to an error in the spiral cable mounted on the steering wheel. This will lead to continuous illumination of an airbag warning lamp on the instrument cluster giving prior indication of a problem to the customer. In addition, the driver's airbag may get deactivated," The Hindu quoted the company.
The Toyota move follows reports of a recall by Maruti Suzuki, the country's largest carmaker. A recent report suggested that Maruti is likely to recall nearly 1.5 lakh Swift Dzire units in India, over a possible problem with the car's fuel neck filler.
Though an official announcement is yet to be made, it is understood that JBM, the supplier of the affected component, has been informed about the recall. In November 2013, Maruti had recalled 306 units of Ertiga, 592 units of Swift, 581 units of Dzire and 13 units of A-star models in the country.
In 2012, Toyota had announced a recall of 7.43 million vehicles, including its Camry and Corolla models, over faulty power window switches.

Maxwell Street - Writing and Thinking Place
This book launch is part of the Waste programme at the IAS. Find out more here.
What is the nature of place, and how does one undertake to write about it? To answer these questions, geographer and poet Tim Cresswell looks to Chicago's iconic Maxwell Street Market area. Maxwell Street was for decades a place where people from all corners of the city mingled to buy and sell goods, play and listen to the blues, and encounter new foods and cultures. Now, redeveloped and renamed University Village, it could hardly be more different.
In Maxwell Street, Cresswell advocates approaching the study of place as an "assemblage" of things, meanings, and practices. He models this innovative approach through a montage format that exposes the different types of texts—primary, secondary, and photographic sources—that have attempted to capture the essence of the area. Cresswell studies his historical sources just as he explores the different elements of Maxwell Street—exposing them layer by layer. Brilliantly interweaving words and images, Maxwell Street sheds light on a historic Chicago neighbourhood and offers a new model for how to write about place that will interest anyone in the fields of geography, urban studies, or cultural history.
All welcome. Please note that there may be photography and/or audio recording at some events and that admission is on a first come first served basis. Please follow this FAQ link for more information. All our events are free but you can support the IAS here.

For those of us that get excited about government policy, it is the most wonderful time of the year. It's budget month in Nova Scotia. For the Halifax Chamber, it means we have submitted our provincial pre-budget list, outlining our asks and considerations for the fiscal budget. We hope the Finance Minister is hard at work checking our list twice and keeping it in mind as she prepares to present the fiscal budget. We are waiting patiently to see if this will be Nova Scotia's fourth consecutive balanced budget and whether our asks have been considered.
We framed our pre-budget submission on several issues of focus in our strategic plan which was outlined in February's Business Voice. We listened to our members' concerns and voiced those concerns to all levels of government. Our main priorities include:
- Optimizing the size of government
- Creating a frictionless business environment
- Reducing the tax burden
- Promoting immigration
- Supporting export development
- Increasing student retention
- Increasing entrepreneurship training
- Promoting the growth of Halifax as a major city
We recognize these aren't easy asks, but we know these pillars will propel us forward as a city and as a province. If we want to compete on a global scale, we need to improve our place in Canada and the world. And quickly.
One of the areas we are encouraged by is the recent progress report on the province's work on red tape reduction (you can find it in our policy library at halifaxchamber.com). The Chamber is actively involved in providing support and leadership on this work.
To give credit when it's due, the Government of Nova Scotia committed to reducing the regulatory burden to Nova Scotia business by $25 million (net) by the end of 2018. As of December 31, 2018, approved initiatives where implementation is complete or underway are estimated to reduce the burden to business by more than $34 million —
38 per cent over the target. This achievement is a shining example of government and industry working together to encourage businesses to stay here and continue driving our economy.
Last month, we hosted the Annual State of the Province, presented by NATIONAL Public Relations, with Premier McNeil. We had the opportunity to dive deeper into our members' concerns with an extended Q&A. At the sold-out event, Premier McNeil addressed many of the issues that we have raised in our communication with the province —
fiscal sustainability, debt reduction, expenditure reduction to set the stage for corporate tax reduction and a long-term economic vision for the province.
The Premier spoke frankly about his vision for the growth of our province and the important role attraction and retention of our skilled workforce plays in the vision. The graduate to opportunity program, for example, has matched 400 students with jobs in Nova Scotia to date!
Take a look at our cover story on page 14 and think about what you'd like to see in the next provincial budget. Let us know what issues are facing your business. We're in your corner and want to provide support.
To hear more on the provincial budget, you can join us at our luncheon with The Honourable Karen Casey, Minister of Finance and Treasury Board, happening on May 21, 2019.

Danny Fingeroth SAN DIEGO – Superman, Batman, Captain American and a slew of other superheroes have something in common besides funny-looking tights. They were all created by Jews, many from Eastern European backgrounds.
Jewish comics creators and co-creators include Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel (Superman); Bob Kane and Bill Finger (Batman); Will Eisner (The Spirit); Jack Kirby (Fantastic Four, Incredible Hulk, the X-Men); Jack Kirby and Joe Simon (Captain America); and of course Stan Lee (who helped create Spider-Man and a whole bunch of others).
This is more than a coincidence, argues Danny Fingeroth, former editorial director of the Spider-Man comic books, in his upcoming book Disguised as Clark Kent: Jews, Comics and the Creation of the Superhero. While he may not go as far as some authors who claim Superman is an incarnation of Moses, he does believe the Jewish heritage of their creators influenced the first generation of superheroes and the worlds in which they lived.
In an interview with Wired News, Fingeroth – author of 2004's well-received Superman on the Couch: What Superheroes Really Tell Us about Ourselves and Our Society – talked about Jews and superheroes prior to this weekend's Comic-Con, the world's largest comics convention.
Wired News: How do you think the lives of Jewish comics creators influenced the fictional worlds they created?
Danny Fingeroth: You had a bunch of young men whose parents were immigrants, writing stories about a very idealized world, where force is wielded wisely and people are judged by their individual character, not by who they are or who their parents were. For the guys who made the comics, it was a way to transcend who you were and become locked into and involved with the American mainstream, to blend in.
WN: Do you think Jews worked in comics because they couldn't get jobs elsewhere?
Fingeroth: That was a big part of it. Because of various types of prejudice, things were closed off to Jews in the first half of the 20th century. Maybe it's hard to believe now, but Jews were not accepted in a lot of the publishing or advertising industries. There was a great deal of discrimination. There were no official policies like "No Jews allowed," but you could interview all you want and still not get work you might have been highly qualified for.
WN: Many superheroes, if not all of them, are outsiders in some way in their civilian incarnations. They're orphans, weaklings, ordinary men. Is there a connection here to their creators being Jewish?
Fingeroth: Historically, the racist caricature of the Jew is of someone who somehow is simultaneously weak and yet controls the world, or significant aspects of it. So one could say that the wimpy secret identity was the Jewish creators' ways of saying that we're powerful, in an individual sense, not wimps, and guided, individually and as a group, by the selfless desire to do good. Of course, this is all reading things into the work way after the fact. None of the creators consciously thought about this stuff when they were writing and drawing the stories.
It's also a comment on the immigrant desire, Jewish and otherwise, to both be part of the society – be Clark Kent – and also be separate from it as a being of superhuman power.
On a larger metaphorical level, it's about the need we all have to feel that we are more than the world thinks we are. "If only they knew my secret, they'd be sorry for the way they treated me!"
WN: Do you think the heritage of the creators made them especially interested in secret identities?
Fingeroth: I think they were interested in the part of the psyche that compels us to operate on multiple levels, playing different roles depending on the circumstances.
I don't know if there's anything exclusively Jewish about that, although as a group with a history of being persecuted, doing what you can to achieve harmony with the dominant society could make someone preoccupied with what role they're playing when.
WN: Do you think the creators consciously thought of the Jewish influences on their work?
Fingeroth: They were sitting around thinking, "How can I make a living and move out of my parents' house or help my parents out? How can I survive the Depression as a creative person, when there aren't many options?" They were 18, 19, 20 years old.
Some of them were from really poor families and couldn't afford to go to college. What were they going to do?
What I also found was that a lot of early comics creators were from families that, when they were kids, had been relatively prosperous and then lost everything in the (stock market) crash of 1929 that heralded the beginning of the Great Depression. They had this weird background of having been fairly secure as kids, and suddenly having nothing at all. It's like Superman having his whole planet blown up, or Bruce Wayne (Batman) having his parents murdered, or Peter Parker (Spider-Man), already an orphan as a baby, having his adoptive father – Uncle Ben – murdered.
WN: How did these men look at being Jewish? Did they tend to be very observant?
Fingeroth: No. I think back in the '30s and '40s, if you were Orthodox, you wouldn't do something like comics. I think it was considered something not serious. (Today), you can see 125,000 people migrate to San Diego to the Comic-Con to pray in the Church of Popular Culture. There's something about being able to take a lot of what would ordinarily be religious impulses (and direct them) into creating fiction. It's like a religious substitute, where nobody ever – well, hardly ever – gets into violent confrontations about if their favorite superhero is somehow better than someone else's.
WN: Did critics – including psychologist Frederic Wertham, who helped launch public and political outrage against comic books in the 1950s – ever pick up on the fact that many comics creators were Jewish?
Fingeroth: Wertham was from a more-well-to do German/Austrian Jewish background, as opposed to the mostly Russian- and Polish-descended Jewish men and women who worked in comics (along with Italian-Americans and people of all sorts of backgrounds). In hindsight, you could see his hostility to comics as his seeing the comics publishers and creators as being the cultural equivalent of junk dealers, an embarrassment to Jewish people.
WN: You're Jewish yourself. Are you worried that your book might give ammunition to anti-Semites who like to make claims about Jewish domination?
Fingeroth: My joke is that it's of most interest to Jews and anti-Semites. Most other people don't give a shit. I think it's one of the best things I've written, but it was one of the hardest to write, too, because of how careful I wanted to be about how I framed things so as not to give ammunition to bigots who might want to twist what I was saying. I ultimately decided that if I was going to write this book, and I did and do think it was important to write, I had to put that fear out of my mind and figure that if someone has a reason to hate Jews, they don't need to me as an excuse to do it.
WN: What is the legacy of the superheroes these men created?
Fingeroth: Seventy years later, these characters, such as Superman, Batman, and Spider-Man (who was created in the 1960s) are still such powerful archetypes that nothing has come along to replace them. The creations of these mostly Jewish guys now being interpreted by people from all backgrounds because their appeal is universal. The characters and what they symbolize mean a lot to people – although what they symbolize is different for each reader or moviegoer. People find the most lasting superheroes entertaining, of course, but also inspiring.

This note about Spain's next move against the Basques' political rights appeared at EITb:
According to Some Spanish Media
Spanish High Court could outlaw Basque parties ANV, EHAK soon
According to the Spanish newspapers El País and Público, Spain's Attorney General is to present the demand for the process to start following police reports that point out links between Batasuna and ANV and EHAK.
Spain's Attorney General might present a demand to the High Court to outlaw the Basque left-wing parties ANV and EHAK, Spanish newspapers El País and Público reported on Monday.
According to these two newspapers, the demand would follow police reports that say a bank account received and distributed funds between the members of the Basque political parties, Basque Nationalist Action ANV - Communist Party of the Basque Lands EHAK, and the outlawed party Batasuna.
This financial connection between Batasuna and the two other political parties is enough evidence to start proceedings to declare both the ANV and EHAK parties as illegal themselves, El País reports.
According to Público, the investigations are still ongoing and are expected to be completed by the end of the first week of 2008.

Contrary to popular belief, catnip does NOT have the same ecstatic effect on all cats alike. I had one cat who seemed to orgasm every time I fed her this stuff. At times, I ended giving her less because of the intense reaction. Another cat of mine did not react to the stuff at all. Her bowel movements garnered a bigger response. To each her own, I guess...
What's up, y'all? What's going on? If nothing, then let's get to why this is here.
These are my picks this week:
Doom Patrol #7 - What is S**t, and why is everyone eating it? Cliff doesn't like it, but Casey can't get enough. Sure, Cliff doesn't like a lot of stuff, but that doesn't mean he's wrong to be suspicious this time around. Meanwhile, we find out where Lotion the cat got off to, and how his journey has changed him. Life on the streets has made him an entirely different animal!
Scales & Scoundrels #1 - It's hard to make an honest living in a land brimming with magic and mystery, and treasure hunter Luvander is tired of being a penniless adventurer. Ever in search of gold and glory, she sets off for a fabled dungeon, "the Dragon's Maw," an ancient labyrinth, at the bottom of which slumbers endless wealth…or certain doom! But what starts out as a road to riches becomes the first step on an epic journey to destiny, for Luvander holds a secret in her heart that will shatter the chains of fate and bring light to a world encroached upon by an ancient darkness.
Writer SEBASTIAN GIRNER (SHIRTLESS BEAR-FIGHTER!) and artist GALAAD are proud to present SCALES & SCOUNDRELS, a colorful and exciting new monthly fantasy adventure from Image Comics, for scoundrels of all ages!
World Reader #6 - Sarah's mission lies in failure, but the moment of truth is here. Who is the Faded Man and why is he hunting Sarah across the dead worlds? The breath of every life speaks through Sarah, and Life itself reveals its purpose. The first arc of this epic sci-fi comes to a starling conclusion!
From Groot and Jimmy Kimmel Live! writer Jeff Loveness and AMERICAN MONSTER, ANIMOSITY: THE RISE artist Juan Doe comes the chilling, epic new series that will be sure to appeal to fans of Arrival, Interstellar and The Expanse.
What's in your bag this week? Be sure to include web comics if ya got 'em.

Taj Mahal India, Agra – History, Timings & Facts
Today I am going to pen down my experience about my wonderful visit to Taj Mahal. It all started with a new day and a new place when I decided to explore Taj Mahal followed by other monuments left to explore during my ongoing trip in Agra. I chose last day for Taj Mahal as I wanted to mesmerize it forever and ever. Before moving further, let me tell you some fast and genuine facts about this white-marble mausoleum.
Do you know that the Taj Mahal displays its different shades during the different times of the day like it is pinkish in the morning, milky white in the evening and glorifies in golden white when the moon reflects on it? I have also heard that after completion of its making, Shah Jahan commanded to cut off hands of the laborers in the making so that they would never be able to build its replica or other kinds.
Taj Mahal – My Experience!
It began with buying tickets from the counter which is charged as Rs. 40 per person. They are available online as well but you won't see long queues so it can be done when you directly reach the venue. Surprisingly, foreigners have to pay Rs. 1,000 per person and entry for children below the age of 15 years is free whether Indian or foreigner. Quite interesting. Right?
After buying tickets, we passed through several security check-ins which unexpectedly didn't take too long. Then, we walked down through the main gate entrance. We kept on clicking pictures on our way to the monument which has been named 'A Dream in Marble' by the famous Rabindranath Tagore. As it was winters, so I was saved by the scorching heat of summers and enjoying it. We kept walking and reached in front of a four-storeyed, 100-feet high main gateway of red sandstone. I tell you it was the breathtaking view of Taj Mahal when I peeped through this gate. As I kept on passing through it, the view was clearer and spectacular. I was in awe of witnessing it. I am being a little naive but unlike in movies, there was a gathering of thousands of tourists to glorify the beauty of this monument. I have seen in pictures many celebrities get themselves captured sitting on that famous bench with a beautiful view of Taj Mahal in the background. As we are commoners, we have to roam to the areas where other tourists could be avoided in the background. Fortunately, I was able to capture a few of them while in some pictures I had to use that blurred background facility on my phone.
Afterward, we walked down the pathway beside the pool embedded with fountains up to the ivory-white marble mausoleum. As I came closer, I couldn't stop myself but admiring. Then, we went upstairs and put off our shoes as the security doesn't allow you to enter with your shoes on. Then, we started heading towards the monuments. I was totally amazed by the craftwork embedded on the mausoleum with semi-precious stones. The disheartening part was that some of the work was missing as people are making damage to this ancient property and stealing these stones embedded in this marble. Hence, the security has become a bit strict and tight regarding this concern. There is completely dark inside but due to natural light coming from outside, you can see the rests of Queen – Mumtaz Mahal with her King – Shah Jahan entombed underground. Due to this factor, the visit to Taj Mahal is set up from sunrise to sunset except for Fridays.
On my way back from this visit, different thoughts kept on passing through my mind and I literally felt the presence of Shah Jahan, his wife and of course, the makers. The reason to build this symbol of 'Love' is truly admirable and makes sense.

It's well worth making your own marshmallows to create these S'mores, a classic American treat. For a simpler recipe, or to save time, you can use storebought vegan marshmallows.
Top Tip: The marshmallows themselves can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week, so you can make them ahead of time, if needed.

On his left shoulder is a Celtic cross along with several rose tattoos.
His most recent tattoo is located on his left forearm and reads "You used to be alright, what happened?", which is the lyrics from "15 Step" by Radiohead.

What is That?!
Some of you already know what I am going to type, you found our through me or from someone who thought it was their story to tell, some of you will be reading the details for the first time, I am sorry that I didn't call you and tell you myself, but the thought making more than three calls having to tell this story over and over and tell you 'I don't know' to all your questions, was and is too much to bear. So here I go.
Three weeks ago I made an appointment with my Dr. to discuss some pain I have been experiencing in my left knee. Back in high school I had two knee surgeries to remove loose bodies, so naturally I internally concluded this was the same issue, I would need a simple day surgery to have them removed, I would be out of commission for a couple days, and that would be it. My Dr. seemed to agree and referred me to the same Orthopedic Dr who performed my last two surgeries. The following week I had an appointment with the Orthopedic who reviewed my chart, felt around my knee cap, asked about my pain, which I described as a dull pain I would feel behind my knee cap when climbing stairs, sometimes when I walked, and definitely when I was shaking my groove thing with Miss. E in the living room.
He too had pretty much reached the same conclusion I had, but sent me for an x-ray just the same. So I moseyed on over to the next room and had some x-rays done. Went back into his room to review them (I have to chime in here and just comment on how awesome that is, instant x-rays!). So we sat there together and looked at the x-rays on the monitor. He kept zooming in on what looked like a 'whiter' spot on my bone. I asked '"what's that?" to which he responded "I don't know, but I am going to send you for an MRI so we can find out." Still no reason to pull the alarm, so we scheduled the MRI for that Friday and scheduled a follow up to go over the MRI for the following week.
So the following week comes and next thing I know it's time for my follow up appointment. I get out of bed the same way I do everyday, get ready, drop E off at daycare, my car breaks down in the driveway at daycare, I catch a ride in town with one of the Mom's from daycare, and I am sitting at the Dr.'s office waiting for them to call my name. I sit there mad at my car, cursing my decision to wear shirt I put on, wondering whether or not I took the chicken out of the freezer before I left, how am I going to get home, and then they call my name.
I enter the same little room I was in before and the same Dr. comes in, looks at me and goes "why are you here", haha not really, but I tell him and he logs on the computer and brings up my MRI. I am sitting beside the computer monitor and am trying to look at the screen out of the corner of my eye. Now, I am no bone doctor, but what I saw on that screen I knew… was not right and by the way he scratched his head and kept clicking on the screen, I knew the thought the same thing.
So I asked what any of you would have asked, 'what is that?!' what he responded with ripped the stomach out of my body and smacked me upside the face with a 2"X6". "You have a tumor in your femur bone." He went on to talk about the location of the tumor in my bone, biopsy, and then he used the "C" word... it's all fun and games until someone pulls out the "C" word. No, not that "C" word, jesh, you kiss your Momma with that mouth!! Cancer.
Just like that, done, D.O.N.E.. I was done. Checked out, bill please… Just like that, my world changed forever - cancer. In that split second I couldn't have told you what I had on, what kind of car I drove (or didn't drive) and if you asked me about supper I would have just stared at you totally blank. Cancer.
After I came back to, I heard the Dr. say that he was going to refer me to another Orthopedic in his office for a second opinion because to be quite frank, he said he hasn't seem many of these. Gave me my papers and I walked out of the office. (yes, I made arrangements to get back to work and thankfully my Mom drove me home after work.)
I said this earlier, I am no Dr. but if I was, after telling a patient they have a tumor in their bone, I would immediately contact their internet service provider and insist on their internet connection be terminated until a proper diagnosis has been made. In a time like that, google + finger tips = the devil!
I had an appointment with the second Orthopedic who went over the MRI with me and gave me some more information. He did point out that the tumor had a nice black 'wall' around it, which indicated that it was slow growing and that cancerous tumors typically have 'tentacles' that reach out. Mine didn't have any of that - phew! After seeing the MRI for the second time on the screen, it sort of erased any of the denial I had been experiencing in the days before. Your mind plays crazy games on you… maybe they got the MRI mixed up with someone else, cancer - that doesn't happen to ME, only to someone's step-mom's cousin in Utah. I have a birthday party to plan in couple months, OMG my hair is going to fall out, I can't miss my daughter's wedding… seriously you can only imagine.
This past Tuesday I had a needle biopsy performed and after two painfully long days received the results of my biopsy. I am so happy to type I do NOT have cancer. My eyes fill with tears of joy and despair of what it could have been. This one hit way too close to home. Now I am still not out of the woods yet, I have another follow up appointment this week to see what my options are, I have already been warned that one of the options is major surgery that could put me out for 6-8 months, which will stink. But you know what, ANYTHING ANYTHING ANYTHING will be better than what it could have been.
Side Note: I really debated whether or not to type about this on my blog (of all places), but I wanted to set the record straight and update you on what is going on in my life. Maybe you have had something similar happen to you or someone you know, maybe you can e-mail me and we can chat about it. The older I get, I am finding out that I am never alone, someone is/has/or will go through similar things I experience, maybe this is one of them. This is not going away overnight, so I will warn you now that you may see some more posts about this. In the mean time, go live your life, hug your baby a little tighter, tell you husband/wife that you love them, call your grandparents and tell them what you did this week (they would love it), take 10 minutes out of TODAY and do something you WANT to do. Life is too short to do anything else.

thank you for sharing thisReplyDelete
Well, Amy, ... These things happen to humans. As a member of that crowd, we have to come to terms that things like this can happen to us just as much as it can happen to the next person in the grocery store line. I was relieved, as I continued reading your post, to find out that you do not have cancer. I am sure it put you into "float" mode - that state where you know what you have to do that day but you are floating through it with a veil that separated you from life as you knew it before finding out your predicament. If only we could be better at remembering vividly, on a daily basis, what is really important to us and focusing on that instead. I will keep my fingers crossed and pray for you.ReplyDelete
This all, though, leaves me, still, with one unanswered question: "What are you looking forward too?" Carolina

A successful day 2 today!!! Even with the company buying dinner I stuck to a plan - hooray!
I've had so much trouble getting on the wagon of any kind of food plan that I'm thrilled to get through day 2. I know, 2 days isn't long to stick with something but for the way things have been going for me lately, it is a cause worthy of celebration!
Today's Eats:
~ whole wheat English muffin w/ natural pb, skim milk
~ fat free yogurt w/ protein powder, blueberries, granola
~ egg salad sandwich on whole wheat, baked potato chips
~ eggplant Parmesan (no pasta), half a roll
When I look at this, I see that I need to up the actual fruits and veggies. My original lunch was a veggie pasta dish but when I learned dinner was Italian food, I wasn't dying for it twice in one day.
My tummy is rebelling a little bit, however. I spent a bit more time, ahem, (tmi alert) in the bathroom than usual today. I hope this part goes away soon - or perhaps it is my key to weight loss success!

Stockport based C&C Healthcare Limited, part of the C&C Insurance Brokers Limited, have donated a defibrillator to Lancashire County Cricket Club.
C&C, sponsors of the Old Trafford based LCC, donated the defibrillator to the club in memory of a member of staff from the club who has sadly passed away.
Managing Director of C&C Insurance Brokers Limited, Malcolm Cooke, presented the defibrillator to Lancashire County Cricket Club (LCCC) at their Foundation Gala Dinner held last week.
Malcolm said: "It is a pleasure for C&C Healthcare Limited to be supporting the club and providing a valuable piece of kit that can save someone's life. There are approximately 30,000 out of hospital cardiac arrests per year in the UK and of those, 12 people under the age of 35 die each week due to sudden cardiac arrest.
"Having a defibrillator on site can be the difference between life and death and it can happen to anyone of us without warning.
"I would urge more businesses to help reduce those figures by providing more defibrillators that can be readily accessed by more people across the UK".
LCCC are now in the process of organising some product and Healthy Heart Workshops training for all of their staff, funded by C&C.
Members of the C&C Healthcare team will also be taking part in the training.
*In 2013, the Emergency Medical Services attempted to resuscitate approximately 28,000 people after they suffered out of hospital cardiac arrests with 20% of those occurring in public places.
*When someone has a cardiac arrest, every minute without CPR and defibrillation reduces their chances of survival by 7-10%
*If a defibrillator is used and effective CPR is performed within 3-5 minutes of cardiac arrest, survival chances increase from 6% to 74%
*Without immediate treatment, 90-95 percent of sudden cardiac arrest victims will die.

Nuts & Bolts: Disc Brake Conversion for 1985 Chevy K10
10-Bolt Dilemma
I have a 1985 Chevy K10 and I recently blew up the original 10-bolt differential. I'm in the process of installing a 9 1/2-inch 14-bolt six-lug. Does someone make a disc brake conversion for this axle? I can only find the kit for a 10 1/2-inch eight-lug. Or do you think I would be better of installing a full-floater 14-bolt 10 1/2 with a six-lug conversion?
Via email@example.com
The 9 1/2-inch semifloating 14-bolt is a significant upgrade over the stock 10-bolt, and if you got the axle for free or nearly free, then it's a good swap candidate. However, like your 10-bolt, the semifloating 14-bolt uses C-clips to retain the rear axle, so if you break a shaft, you had better have a spare with you. For this reason and a few others, the 9 1/2-inch 14-bolt axle isn't a very popular swap candidate. Still, it's a six-lug axle and nearly a bolt-in replacement for the 10-bolt, so it's a better option than repairing your truck's broken 10-bolt. There's a possibility that GM offered the 9 1/2-inch axle with disc brakes from the factory during the axle's 16-year production run (1997-2013), but there's no telling what the application might be. It sounds like you already have the axle, and if so, it's going to be easiest to stick with the drum brakes that are already present. You might be able to mix and match or adapt disc brakes to the axle, but it's probably going to be more trouble than it's worth.
Depending on how hard you use your truck, I would opt for building a full-floating 14-bolt if you are going to go through all the trouble of swapping an axle. It doesn't get much stronger than a 14-bolt, and both hub conversions (to get six lugs) and disc brake kits are readily available. Plus, they command about the same prices in junkyards as the lighter duty axle. If you plan on keeping your truck for a while and using it hard, the full-floating 14-bolt is by far the best option.

The GL summarizes the organization's various financial accounts and transactions, such as accounts receivable, accounts payable, fixed assets, and inventory.
Bring your financial information together in Acumatica's General Ledger (GL) module. Fully integrated with the rest of the Acumatica suite, the GL system gives instant access to mission-critical financial data with comprehensive and flexible reporting and analysis of ledger accounts, income, expenses, and assets.
How General Ledger Software Can Work for You
General Ledger maintains the charts of accounts and controls financial periods, ledgers, allocations, assets and liabilities, and more. Acumatica's GL management system is integrated with other modules, giving you instant access to timely, accurate financial data.
Key Benefits of General Ledger Software for your Company
Control Your GL Account and Sub-Account Structure
Define the structure of your GL system accounts and sub-accounts. Organize your reporting and analysis configuration by defining segments, segment lengths, and segment values.
Enhance Reporting
Create different views of your data, or dimensions, using Acumatica subaccounts. With Acumatica subaccounts, nearly unlimited reporting dimensions are available to slice financial reports by product, department, or any user-defined segment. Consolidated and summarized data can be displayed in the monthly, yearly, and quarterly views.
Protect Your Data
Control roles and access permissions by account and sub-accounts to protect sensitive data and improve accuracy. Limit "on-the-fly" sub-account entry to specific sub-accounts based on pre-defined combinations of segment values.
Streamline GL Consolidation
Combine data from multiple entities for consolidated reporting and analysis, different currencies or different account structures notwithstanding. Adjustments for minority interests, inter-company transfers, and other transactions are preserved to avoid duplication.
New Accounting Standards ASC 606 and IFRS 15: Acumatica Has You Covered
Accounting standards are changing the way companies will be allowed to report revenue. The new revenue recognition guidelines, ASC 606 and IFRS 15 from the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), fundamentally change the way businesses can recognize revenue from the delivery of goods and/or services over time.
Important Features of General Ledger ERP Software
Advanced Financial Reporting
Design financial statements using sub-account segment structure and configured hierarchy. Publish reports on the web or distribute as Excel or PDF files.
Flexible Configuration of Financial Periods
Define monthly, bi-monthly, annual, or custom financial periods. Keep periods open as long as you need to complete data entry and reconciliation. You can override automatic assignment of the reporting period based on the transaction date – the GL system warns of potential mis-entry.
Multiple Currencies Support
Enter GL transactions in different currencies with multiple currency support activated. Maintain balances in the base currency and the foreign currency. See Currency Management for more information.
GL Accounts Budgeting and Budget Approval
Maintain an unlimited number of budget scenarios, such as optimistic, pessimistic, or expected. Grant access rights for team members to provide input without viewing salaries or information from other subsidiaries. Approved budgets can be used in comparative statements and analysis reports.
On-The-Fly Sub-Account Entry
Add new combinations of valid subaccount segments on the fly during data entry. This feature allows efficient ongoing maintenance of a complex reporting structure.
Automatic Allocation of GL Balances
Distribute GL account balances over multiple accounts and sub-accounts based on predefined allocation rules based on percentages, quantities, or statistical data, or proportional to other account balances. Create and run multiple subsequent allocation templates.
Drill Down to Original Documents
Gain immediate access to GL balances with a complete array of inquiry screens and reports. Drill down to the originating document from any inquiry screen or report, even if the transaction was created in another module.
Reversing and Auto-Reversing Entries
Reverse GL system transactions with one click. Automatically generate reversing entries in the next financial period during the post procedure or when the financial period closes.
Recurring Transactions
Create recurring income and expense transactions based on specific schedules and time periods. Design templates with expiration dates, execution limits, and custom execution schedules.
Audit Trails
Maintain a complete audit trail of all journal transactions throughout your GL management. Entries cannot be deleted. Corrections require adjusting entries. The system tracks the ID of the user who entered the transaction. Notes and supporting electronic documents can be attached directly to transactions.
Split Transactions
Split transaction amounts to transfer portions to other accounts, subaccounts, or branches.

Ask Evan Dunfee what he does for a living and, until quite recently, he'd say "track and field."
Push for a little more detail, and he'd offer up "longer distance stuff."
The 24-year-old would delay as long as possible before providing the final bit of information: he's a race walker, covering long distances with that distinctive hip-swinging and stiff-legged gait.
Go ahead, cue the laugh track.
But, as Dunfee points out, he and his teammates are generally passing the laughers who are running. "So really, we're the ones who should be laughing."
Together, Dunfee, a Canadian record-holder, Inaki Gomez, a London Olympian, and Ben Thorne form a small Vancouver-based training cadre for this often misunderstood sport.
Race walking has received a slight bump in attention lately because of numerous doping violations, particularly among the dominant Russian walkers. It turns out the sport that's so easy to make fun of also happens to be so difficult that the past two 50-km Olympic champions have been caught doping.
"In a way, that's not all bad," Rachel Seaman, Canada's fastest female race walker, says of the attention.
It is bad, of course, that athletes are cheating, but she means that it's an indication of just how physically demanding her sport can be.
Seaman, an Olympian who just set a Canadian women's record, dropping under one hour and 30 minutes for a 20-km race, regularly gets dismissive queries along these lines: "What do you do for training, just go walk?"
"People wouldn't think there would be doping in race walking because people's perception of it is that it's not hard. So in a way, it shows it is hard, so much so that people are doping to try and get an advantage."
Seaman knows her sport with its stiff-legged waddle looks a little goofy to the uninitiated. She used to be one of them.
She grew up running in Peterborough, Ont., and was at track practice one day making fun of her older sister, Rebecca, who had started race walking.
Then, much to Rachel's horror, the coach saw her technique and said, 'oh, you're good at this,' she recalls.
"I really didn't want to do it . . . I was 15-years-old and making fun of my sister for doing it."
But, after some "kicking and screaming" and convincing by a friend who also took up the sport, she relented and, as with most things, success led to a newfound passion.
Today, the 29-year-old holds just about every Canadian women's race walking record possible, and is focused on winning a medal in the 20-km event at this summer's Pan Am Games in Toronto, along a familiar route through High Park. Then it's on to the world championships and the Rio Olympics next year.
Just to qualify for the London Olympics, Seaman had to drop the Canadian record considerably, and her new record of 1:29:54 set with a third-place finish in Japan last month is another leap toward international relevance.
"My mindset about what I am capable of has completely changed," she says. "I now know that I belong at the top of the field."
Like Seaman, Dunfee also switched from running to race walking because of a sibling, but he needed much less encouragement.
As soon as his older brother started race walking, he decided, "if he can do it, I can do it."
He learned the basics of the technique just before the 800-metre race at the B.C. championships when he was 10 years old. He then promptly smoked the kid beside him who suggested he'd never succeed in his first attempt.
"I got a medal and a plaque and that was all I cared about when I was 10, so I kept doing it," Dunfee recalls.

These days his races are much longer. He does the 20 km and the men-only 50-km Olympic distance. Winning is much more difficult.
Only two men will get to compete for Canada at July's Pan Am Games, and in their training group of three, Dunfee notes, "our 20-km times are all within six seconds of each other."
Right now, Dunfee has the top qualifying time but Gomez, who is returning from an injury, and Thorne are both looking to better it.
They can all walk four-minute kilometres; most people don't run four-minute kilometres.
Dunfee's 20-km best is 1:20.13. And when he's race walking the 50-km event he goes through the marathon point (42.2 km) in just over three hours.
That means he could walk his way into a Boston marathon qualifying time, something most serious recreational runners struggle to achieve.
Elite race walkers do run much faster than they walk but are not necessarily working any harder.
"People have this misconception that just because we're going slower we're not working as hard, and that's really annoying," said Dunfee.
"My heart rate averages 190 beats per minute the whole time."
And that, of course, is why performance enhancing drugs come into play in race walking just as they do in cycling, running, cross country skiing and a myriad of other physically demanding sports.
Dunfee doesn't shy away from telling people he's a race walker anymore and he's passionate about improving his sport. In a blog earlier this year, he exposed Russian race walkers who were competing while under doping suspensions, and contributed to the ongoing international athletics governing body's investigation into Russian athletics and possible doping infraction cover-ups.
"I'm at the point still where I'm finishing top-16 so, okay, if there are a couple Russians ahead of me who are doped I'd move to top 14, it's not the biggest thing in the world for me," says Dunfee.
But his race times are still improving and he expects to be in the fight for medals before long. And for friends of his, like Australia's Jared Tallent, who won silver in the last two Olympics behind men later caught doping but never stripped of their medals, the doping scourge has been devastating.
"It sucks," Dunfee says. "Hopefully it will get fixed."

|One of the most delightful things about a garden
is the anticipation it provides.
W. E. Johns
Winter was a long drawn out affair this year. Cold weather in South Georgia is suppose to be an occasional thing...maybe a few near freezing mornings with a couple below freezing... most days should have lows of 40ish with highs near 60 or so, but not so this year! April, the first full month of Spring, should have been warm with a bit of cool weather just before Easter, but not so this year!
However, all the unfamiliar cool and rainy springtime days were made bearable by my garden discovery...
two (yippee two!) peony buds! I purchased, via ebay, a variety of peony plants last spring. The kind seller shared information, but not much encouragement that peonies would flourish this far south.
Well, even if these are the only two of the season...they were sensational and so worth the wait! Perhaps the unusually cold winter made them feel more at home? Whatever...I could not be happier with the outcome. They were so worth the wait!
Hope your week is filled with all things that bring you contentment and joy!
Linking to Mosaic Monday. Please visit and see what's happening on this lovely Monday in May!

Last fall, Matters Magazine celebrated women in the South Orange-Maplewood business community with a feature spread on "Women in Business." These women represent a range of professions – from architecture and beauty to speech pathology and financial services. In all, 26 women-owned businesses are profiled. See the original Matters Magazine feature here.
Village Green has partnered with Matters Magazine to give these local women entrepreneurs a digital platform and is posting each profile individually on our website during the month of March — Women's History Month. Today, we celebrate:
Krista Hyer and Dayana Moreno, Mona Lisa Framing
Why we do what we do
Maplewood Village has had a frame shop for more than 50 years and we think it's important to maintain that tradition. When you think about it, framing art is really about the process of connecting with one another and developing trust. We get to be part of our customer's world by learning about their special artwork, hearing how they came to have it and creating the best way to express its fullness, all while using the finest materials in the industry to preserve it.
Our favorite moments in our business
We love the connection that comes from hearing stories about a piece of art and facilitating the creative potential of the story through the simple materials of matte, glass and wood.
Most valuable lesson learned
Listening to people. We had to cultivate that so we can pull out the fullest potential of a piece and make sure the finished piece expresses it.
7 Highland Place, Maplewood
