what is eating my Christmas cards?

Posted: 19/12/2016 at 07:21

Aym my tree has been in its pot since last year so whatever is in the pot has come from my garden. I am wondering if there are mites somewhere around. I don't think I will bother with it next year as it is proving to be a menace. I certainly think twice about bringing that one In!

I've removed all chocolate gifts so what will go for next? I would have thought mice would go for cushions etc to make a nice nest. Unless theyv'e made a hole somewhere it's definitely not mice. If I ever discover who the culprits are I'll let all you kind folk know! I have left some slug pellets in the bucket as suggested by Nut. Watch this space!

Thank you all for your suggestions. No there are no slime trails and no sign of a mouse or droppings. As I don't sleep too well my OH has suggested that I take a look in the conservatory in the middle of the night and see whats going on. Brrr a bit cold in the conservatory at night but I may just do that. In the meantime my cards and presents are in a plastic box in the house instead of being artfully placed around a real Christmas tree. Perhaps a plastic one will do next year!

Hazel, have done that! HopeI haven't bought the little beasties into the main house!!

Thank you for you suggestions everyone. Perhaps the tree should go outside again.

True Nut no droppings and no other signs of a mouse.

I had bought in my potted Christmas tree in from the garden into the conservatory and put all the presents and cards around it as you do. However I now find that cards and wrapping paper has been nibbled in the night and the situation is getting worse. We have looked for a mouse in the conservatory but have found no trace.

What on earth is the problem? Please someone help!

Chrissy your winter Jasmine looks great too. It really is a miracle plant the way it performs in winter Isn't it. Mine is doing OK but not quite so  spectacular as yours. If the weather stays mild a sprig will look great on a Christmas table but a frost will set it back a bit.

lovely pics Chicky, must be really mild down in Surrey. Not too bad here in Cheshire but with this warm weather the slugs have enjoyed my Kale. I planted out about fourteen plants and now have one left. I don't suppose that will survive much longer unless the weather changes

Lovely pictures, great to see that some things seem determined to flower whatever the weather conditions. Guernsey your Poinsettia looks amazing. I've never managed to get one to flower the following year after purchase. I guess the different light conditions you get over there must help.

Types of Vegetables to Grow

Vegetables are categorized by their type: root vegetables are edible plant roots; bulb vegetables are edible bulbs and leafy vegetables are edible leaves. Vegetables are further differentiated by when they are planted; however, these two categories are not mutually exclusive. For example, some root vegetables are cool-season vegetables and others must be planted after the last frost.

Bulb Vegetables

There are a wide assortment of bulb vegetables. Garlic matures into a cluster of bulbets. Scallions and leeks are grown more often than onions, according to the "Reader's Digest Illustrated Guide to Gardening," because home-grown scallions and leeks are more flavorful. Shallots are similar to garlic in appearance but have a more delicate flavor.

Leafy Vegetables

There are several different types of leaf vegetables with the most recognizable being lettuce. Lettuce varieties include crispheads, which form a solid head with white, densely packed inner leaves; loose heads, such as bibbs or butterheads with thick outer leaves covering a yellow or white center; romaine, which are tall, upright heads with long, thick leaves; and looseleaf that do not form heads, according to "Gardening" by the National Gardening Association. Kale is a hardy, leafy vegetable that tolerates fall frost. Collard looks like an elongated cabbage.

Root Vegetables

Root vegetables are edible plant roots. Turnips are a cool weather crop that can be harvested any time during the growing season. Sweet potatoes are a warm season root vegetable that has a 150-day harvest cycle, according to "Fruits and Vegetables." Radishes are available in different colors including red and white, and red and black. Carrots are warm weather annuals. Beets are fast-growing and as a cool-season vegetable, can be planted in early spring and then into the fall.

How to Make an Outhouse

Before the invention of inside toilets, outhouses were used. At first, these wooden outside privies were thrown up without much thought of design or appeal. After all, the whole purpose of an outhouse was to be able to sit down in relative comfort on a bench with a hole cut into it instead of standing or squatting in the woods somewhere. Now that your basic needs are covered indoors, an outhouse can be a creative and functional outlet for your design skills.

Step 1

Measure how big you want your outhouse with the tape. Use the pencil to mark where you need to cut the plywood, tin and boards to size.

Step 2

Plug the skill saw in and cut the boards, plywood and tin according to the measurements. Set them aside.

Step 3

Build your frame over the hole for your outhouse using the two-by-fours. Build the bench, making sure that you cut out a hole to sit on and then connect the plastic toilet seat.

Step 4

Nail the rest of the boards and plywood to the sides and back to the frame, leaving a piece of plywood for the roof. Cut out a door from a sheet of the plywood and hang the door using the hinges.

Step 5

Nail the last piece of plywood to the top of the frame for the roof and then finish by nailing the piece of tin you cut earlier on top of the roof.

Tips and Warnings

You can use screws and a screwdriver instead of a hammer and nails. There are different types of materials that can be used in making an outhouse, such as siding, logs or even just taking apart an old chicken coop. Make sure you angle the roof so that the rain and snow doesn't sit on top of it but instead slides off. The angled roof will also give a little ventilation to your outhouse and keep the roof from leaking as easily. The outhouse needs to far enough away from your house so that a breeze doesn't bring the odor to you but close enough that you can get to it n time. Also, keep a bag of lime close by to throw some down the hole. It helps keep the smell down.

Things You'll Need

3 Sheets of plywood, 10 two-by-fours, Nails, Hammer, Skill saw, Extension cord, Plastic toilet seat, Hinges, Measuring tape, Pencil, 1 sheet of tin

How to Landscape Your Backyard

While front yard landscapes create a welcoming appearance for incoming visitors and individuals passing by your house, backyard landscapes fulfill a variety of different purposes. Privacy, relaxation, and an opportunity to view wildlife make a backyard landscape efficient and enjoyable. You can incorporate all these important functions into your backyard landscape by using plants and structures to enhance this area. Make your backyard a place for quiet reflection and relaxation, as well as a location to entertain visitors.

Step 1

Make a sketch of your current backyard features. Use a piece of graph paper to allow proper size and placement of each feature. Take a few pictures from different angles to examine. Draw in any structures you want to incorporate, such as a pond, pergola, play area, picnic table or bench. Include pathways to these structures and garden areas. Avoid using straight lines that create a feeling of stiffness and force. Use curves along garden borders and in paths to create flow and grace. Write down a variety of plants to include in your backyard landscape.

Step 2

Select trees for shade and privacy, shrubs for wildlife forage and flowers for color. Use large, columnar trees along property lines to divide your yard from others and to create a backdrop for your backyard landscape. Avoid placing large trees near power lines and underground pipes. Keep in mind the mature size of different tree varieties when placing in close proximity to your house and other structures.

Step 3

Determine the types of wildlife you hope to attract and plant varieties of shrubs and berries to encourage these visitors. Choose flowers according to size, color and blossoming time to create beauty throughout the growing season. Select ground covers, such as grass or creeping thyme, to incorporate into your backyard landscape.

Step 4

Integrate your sketched design into your current backyard by performing all dirt work first. Remove any existing vegetation and structures that you no longer require. Level the surface before planting grass or other ground covers. Lay out new walkways and garden borders. Haul in any necessary topsoil or soil for planters and gardens.

Step 5

Plant trees, shrubs and flowers according to your sketched design. Place backyard plants in easy reach of a water source. Add finishing touches to your backyard landscape with birdbaths, wind chimes and other yard decorations.

Things You'll Need

  • Graph paper
  • Pencil
  • Camera
  • Topsoil
  • Landscape edging
  • Rock, paving stones or concrete
  • Grass or other ground cover plants
  • Flower plants or flower seeds
  • Shrubs
  • Trees
  • Yard decorations

UF outfielder won’t return

Florida's Tyler Thompson runs to make a catch in center field during the game against Florida State at McKethan Stadium on March 3, 2012.

Brad McClenny/The Gainesville Sun
Published: Wednesday, January 9, 2013 at 4:53 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 9, 2013 at 4:53 p.m.

Florida redshirt senior outfielder Tyler Thompson will not play this upcoming season, UF announced Wednesday.

Thompson suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in the SEC opener against Vanderbilt last March. It was the second time he had torn an ACL in his career.

Thompson is on track to graduate in May. An SEC Freshman Academic Honor Roll selection in 2009, he finished with a career average of .280 in 154 games played (90 starts). Thompson scored 65 runs, totaled 64 RBI, drew 29 walks, recorded 13 stolen bases in 23 attempts and had 11 doubles, 10 homers and five triples as a Gator.

Florida opens its season with a three-game series against Duke beginning Feb. 15.

Debate over morning-after pill for 15-year-olds

Published: Saturday, May 4, 2013 at 9:15 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, May 4, 2013 at 9:15 p.m.

NEW YORK — Allison Guarino understands the controversy over new rules allowing 15-year-olds to buy the morning-after pill without a prescription. But as someone who teaches pregnancy prevention to ninth-graders in Boston, she thinks lowering the age will "help the girls who need the help the most."

"Some girls might not have a good relationship with their parents," she said, "or they had unprotected sex and they don't know what to do."

On the other side of the issue are folks like Brenda Velasco Ross, who says the new rules infringe on her rights as a parent.

"It breaks my heart and saddens me and really angers me," said Ross, stepmom of four, including 12- and 13-year-olds in Fullerton, Calif. "If you have to buy Sudafed, you have to show ID. When I buy spray paint for a project for my daughter, I have to show my ID. It just baffles me that, with this, which has to do with pregnancy and being sexually active, I don't have to be involved. That to me just violates my rights as a parent to have guidelines and parameters for my children."

The two opinions reflect some of the issues in the debate over new rules issued last week by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which lowered the age for buying the drug without a prescription from 17 to 15. In April, a federal judge, Edward Korman, said there should be no age restrictions at all. The Obama administration said it wants to maintain the prescription requirement for those under 15 and will appeal the judge's ruling.

Guarino, 19, a college freshman majoring in public health and political science at Boston University, said she encounters a lot of ignorance on issues related to sex and pregnancy. "I would encourage any young person to go talk to their parents or a doctor, but that's not the reality," she said.

Jennifer Morgan, 18, a native of Somerville, Mass., who attends college in Pennsylvania, said she's not sure she supports eliminating the age limit entirely, but "I think it's fine for a 15-year-old. Not every girl has the privilege of being able to go talk to her mother in a crisis like that. Because time is of the essence, and if a girl in that situation and that age doesn't have any other support, I feel like it's OK."

Morgan recently completed a stint on a leadership team for the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy and added that while abstinence is an ideal, "not every teen is going to stay abstinent."

Samantha Bailey-Loomis, 16, who recently founded a Students For Life chapter at her high school in Branford, Conn., opposes the concept of the morning-after pill in the same way that she opposes abortion. "My mom had me when she was 17," she said. "If this was available when she was young, I wouldn't exist. I wouldn't be able to make the difference I am in the community today." Loomis said girls who are worried they might be pregnant should talk to their parents about it, and if they can't, should seek help from organizations that can provide the support they need.

Dianne Sikel, who volunteers in a juvenile probation program in Phoenix, said dropping the age limit is "a move in the right direction." She added that it's easy to tell kids to use condoms, "but it doesn't always work out that way."

"These pills being available to teens are far better of an option than having a young couple being forced to become parents, for a young girl, who made a bad choice one evening, who may be forced to abort, or ultimately having to give up a child for adoption," said Sikel, a parent of two boys, 13 and 16.

Sophia Martin, who teaches at a high school in Northern California where many students continue their education after being expelled from other schools, said she "can understand how upsetting it is to think your kid might engage in unprotected sex and then get the morning after pill without your knowledge. But to me the core reason to abolish any kind of age limit is that there are young people who are in situations in their families where they can't turn to their parents."

Martin said some girls become "pregnant not because they chose to have sex. It's such a hard situation for them to talk about."

But Andrew Bay, 19, who's finishing up his freshman year at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, Okla., says he thinks making the morning-after pill so easily available "almost encourages even younger children to have unprotected sex." If he had to put an age limit on getting the drug without a prescription, "It should probably be 18. At least at 18 you're considered mature enough to make medical decisions on your own."

Denny Pattyn, founder of Silver Ring Thing, which promotes chastity until marriage and encourages young people to wear purity rings to symbolize their commitments, said he worries that allowing younger teens to get the morning-after pill without a doctor or parent's knowledge is going to increase the incidence of sexually transmitted diseases. "It's incredibly irresponsible," he said. "These kids are getting these diseases and they don't even know they're getting them."

Dr. Cora Breuner of the American Academy of Pediatrics said headlines about the age limit have prompted some families to broach the topic of safe sex. Even if parents don't bring it up, teens are hearing about it via social media.

"I know this in my own practice, there are a lot more conversations between parents and their children about this decision," said Breuner, an adolescent health specialist at Seattle Children's Hospital. "This will prompt a conversation nationally that can help at so many levels."

Andaz West Hollywood

8401 W. Sunset Blvd. (N. Kings Rd.)

This rock-and-roll landmark holds court on the legendary Sunset Strip.

Massive in size and raucous in reputation, this former Hyatt offers a storied hotel experience to touring rock bands, celebrities and tourists alike. This urban property is located in the heart of the Sunset Strip, near such legendary venues as The Comedy Store and the Whisky A Go Go. Led Zeppelin once partied hearty here on the 11th floor while on tour, helping the hotel earn the nicknames "Riot House" and "Riot Hyatt." After a substantial redesign, this is now the first Andaz hotel in the U.S.

Many of the 257 spacious accommodations offer floor-to-ceiling windows for city views day and night (a welcome trade-off for the discernible street noise). Design is the public areas is seductive, with amber tones, mod furnishings and eclectic art. Instead of waiting in line at a front desk, guests are greeted by employees armed with laptops and glasses of wine in Riedel stemware, making check-in a pleasure. Room rates cover virtually all amenities, including local calls, Wi-Fi and even non-alcoholic beverages and snacks in the mini-bar; limited 24-hour room service is also available, and free espresso and pastries are served mornings at reception.

Riot House restaurant attracts more than just hotel guests with its farm-to-table California cuisine and commissioned Jacob Hashimoto art installation created from hand-painted discs. The hotel's hot spots are the rooftop pool and the Riot House bar, still lively but more subdued than in the days of those naughty rock stars rumored to have thrown TVs off the hotel's balconies. The property has 13,000 square feet of flexible conference and event space, including very hip meeting rooms, a Wine Gallery and the Panorama rooftop ballroom.

Buffet Chinois Fu Lam Restaurant Review

: Sometimes you get that particular type of hunger that only a Chinese buffet can satisfy. Fu Lam, in Ville St. Laurent, is just the kind of place you’d visit. Expect a good selection (close to 100 items, including shrimp, Szechuan beef, crab legs, garlic ribs) and a wok grill where you can request your own combination of sauces, and all at very affordable prices. An all-you-can-eat sushi bar and an array of dessert choices put Fu Lam above many other Chinese buffets.

California Pizza Kitchen Restaurant Review

: California Pizza Kitchen, a national chain, offers an original BBQ chicken pizza as its signature dish, but is constantly developing and rolling out new menu items. Among them is a Brussels and bacon flatbread. Salads are substantial, so think of them as meals. Hearty Moroccan chicken salad combines grilled, spiced chicken, roasted butternut squash, chopped egg and medjool dates over crisp romaine lettuce with a Champagne vinaigrette. Or try the miso shrimp salad. CPK's small cravings menu has petite starters such as the Mediterranean plate with white bean hummus, feta, olives and a Greek salad with pita bread. Round out your meal with the chocolate soufflé cake. Beer and wine options include popular brands, or go for a cocktail. Kids especially enjoy the atmosphere and the attention, and another nice perk is the kid-friendly fare. Gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan menus are available.

Chart House Restaurant Review

: Perched right over the harbor, this branch of the popular national chain offers diners striking views. It otherwise resembles the many Chart House locations, and continues to serve decent American food in the form of starters like crab-stuffed mushrooms, an herb-steamed artichoke, and lobster and shrimp spring rolls with a citrus-chili dip. The clam chowder is favored by many, as is the bounteous salad bar. Prime rib and steaks are available, but this chain specializes in seafood, with choices like macadamia-crusted mahi mahi, a mixed seafood grill of salmon, scampi and a crab cake, and, of course, lobster tail. The chocolate lava cake topped with vanilla ice cream is the signature dessert, and there is a surprisingly varied selection of seafood-friendly wines.

wonderful wonderful restaurant!

i made reservations at 7pm on 4th of july.

got there. it was not crowded at all. i got my table right away. and i did not even come early for my reservation. i actually got there right at 7pm and was seated right away. there is valet parking and what makes it more wonderful is that it is really really affordable.

compared to every other restaurant that was overcrowded and loud, chart house was amazingly warm, busy but not overly crowded and very intimate. i didnt feel as though i had to shout or strain my neck to hear the waiter.

for first timers going there. they were really wonderful. i had a waiter named jay who was a sweetheart. and what better is that it is located right on the porchdeck where you walk out onto through the back door and take a stroll.

most importantly the food was perfect, i order the prime rib chart house special. told the waiter how i wanted it cooked. between medium and medium rare and it came out perfect! .. wonderful. i suggest you all to get that your first time there.

i had the most wonderful time. and would certainly come back again.

Last Cancer Post

From now on this blog is back to cinematography!

I saw my surgeon this morning, exactly 14 days since the operation.

He showed me the Path results and they were “interesting”, he removed a section with 22 Polyps, 3 of which were malignant. The bad ones were down to the end of the rectum. The big news was the tumour he removed that was right at the exit of the rectum. 5cms, I’ll say that again 5cms! of malignancy.

Well no wonder cycling hurt if I was sitting on a nasty 5cm block of poison!!

Anyway, It’s all gone, no trace of any indicators in my blood tests, I go back in 3 months for another blood test then after 6 months and staying at 6 month intervals for 5 years.

As far as my surgeon is concerned everything is healing well, the stitches will dissolve over time but I’ve got to back off a bit on the walking, stay at 2 circuits of the gardens a day for a week or so. I can also sit at my computer and work for short periods.

My lovely nurses will continue to visit until they’re happy with my stoma and they will also keep checking the stitches.

I have to do a huge thank you to a lot of people now, the support on FaceBook has been amazing, you really have all helped to keep my spirits up. I’d also like to thank all the nurses on c3 at Langelland Zickenhuis they were absolutely incredible.

I’ll not be at BSC or BVE but I will be at NAB, hope to see a bunch of you there.

Day 6

It’s six days now since my tumours were removed and my arse sealed forever.

This morning the IV and the catheter were removed and a few minutes ago I. Rolled over and got to my feet. Hanging on to my physical nurse I managed to turn around, sit on a chair for a few minutes, stand again whilst my BP went all over the place.

I’m now flat in bed again and hurting but in a couple of hours I’ll be doing the same again, maybe I can take a shower! Bed baths from nurses get a lot of laughs but I just want warm water pouring over me.

I may get to go home tomorrow afternoon if not then definitely the day after.

There’s no other way to put it.

I go into hospital for surgery tomorrow morning.

They will remove and seal up my rectum and then add a new outlet, a stoma, on my front and I’ll use a bag from now on.

The Colostomy bag and Stoma don’t scare me, it’s the surgery. Keyhole so it shouldn’t be too bad but…

I guess I’m lucky but my only experience of surgery was 50 years ago and for damage to my wrist, I got all kinds of promises but it’s never worked properly since. That has to have coloured my views of surgery.

Anyway, I’m currently scared and trying not to think about it, I’ll wake up with a multitude of connections and not be able to move for 5 days. Then it looks like it’s going to take longer than my previous estimates to recover, I may be back to “normal” by the end of March.

So I’ll miss HPA but should be at NAB, the camera tests I intended for February may be delayed until May, no big deal.

Trying to get the riff from Careful with that Axe Eugene..

Had THE MEETING with my Oncologist yesterday, the Chemo/Radiotherapy has caused the tumours to shrink and they’ll give me another MRI in 4 weeks because they think they’ll continue shrinking.

Sounds like good news, well no not really, they have shrunk enough that it makes the surgeons job easier but not enough not to resort to surgery.

Now the thing with this is good and bad, isn’t everything connected with this? The good news is that the tumours are so low down that they’re easy to remove separately from anything else. Remove them, end of problem. The bad news is that they’re so low down that removing them and then stitching me up means I get closed completely. No arse any more.

This means a Stoma, WTF! I have an outlet fitted at the front and wear a removable bag that I change daily. The good news here is that because it’s so low down it’s a less complicated Stoma than it is in most cases, in fact when I’m travelling I can just flush it and then seal up for a couple of days without using a bag. It’s still a ‘king nightmare that I’ve been facing up to the possibility of for the last few months and now have the reality slap me in the face.

I’ve said that we should bite the bullet and go ahead with it ASAP, the earliest it can be is December the 23rd so I have the holidays in hospital 🙂

Was there another choice? well I did ask what my prospects were if I didn’t go this route and was told one to two years and a truly horrible end. I did say that I wouldn’t wait for the end but would terminate. In that case I have less than a year. If I go for the operation I have, well, how long did I expect to live before I knew about this? that’s how long I will have. It’s a no brainer, if the hassle of the Stoma is too much I still have the final option open to me.

So over the next few weeks I have the joy of another Colonoscopy, an MRI, and an operation. The good news is that if I don’t get an infection, and 45% of people having this operation do, I’ll be functioning pretty normally by mid January and totally back to normal, excluding the daily bag change, by the end of February.

I can apparently increase my chances of avoiding an infection by not putting pressure on the area whilst it mends. Stitches in what is essentially fat have a job holding and not popping out. I don’t have a problem not sitting for a few weeks, apparently most people do, I’ll just lie down with a tablet and a Kindle and live my life normally but horizontally. I don’t need to sit to eat, most people apparently have an issue with this, but after 40 years of eating on the run a few weeks of eating standing up won’t be a hardship.

We’ve scheduled everything so that I can manage to shoot a commercial at the end of this month going into early December 🙂

Gotta get my priorities right!

CML’s birthday

It was 20 years ago today that I started CML with 60 members, people I’d been talking to about cinematography on Compuserve, AOL and Usenet and who I made members of CML because I thought that there should be a simple single system dedicated to professional cinematographers.

It was never set up to make money, purely to exchange information between fellow professionals.

We now have 11,976 members spread over 20 generally available lists. There are a number of other lists that have closed memberships as they are for manufacturers beta testers and various educational courses.

When we started there was a serious lack of information about new digital technologies and cameras and we tried to help share what knowledge there was. Now there is a plethora of place to get information about equipment.

Our system is still aimed at working cinematographers and that is why we are primarily still email based, around 80% of CML traffic is via email.

I have tried, with the help of the listmums to keep CML focused on clear professional facts rather than the usual internet miasma of gossip and rumour and ill-informed comment.

This is why we have always been a closed system, it has been necessary to join or register to be able to use the discussion facilities of CML although the web pages of edited discussions have always been openly available.

To celebrate our 20th birthday we are opening up the discussion lists to anyone to read, read, not write.

Anyone wanting to post will have to join but the collected knowledge will now be openly available to all.

This does not mean that members details will be available, they won’t. Lyris conceals these.

I hope we will get more people contributing to the shared knowledge and that we keep growing.

Thank you all for making CML what it is.

Now stand and allow to continue cooking

OK, the microwave went ping and I was put to one side to continue cooking.

My Microwave Chef, more commonly known as my Radiologist, said that I should be at about my peak pain level yesterday. Just over 2 weeks after the cooker went ping!

I’m now at 6* the dosage of Fentanyl that I was initially and I reckon I will probably need to be tweaked up to 8* after the weekend. Of course the soluble under my tongue tablets for pain breakthrough episodes have been doubled in strength as well.

In another 2 weeks I take a trip to Gouda to use the MRI there because it is apparently a higher resolution than any of the other ones around here. I then meet with my Surgeon and Radiologist and we talk about what happens next.

I’m back working, my first flight since this started is tomorrow, going to Birmingham City University to put fear and dread into the minds of the students. Or to make them focus on all the aspects of getting a job that they will naturally ignore 🙂

I have to use this post to thank all the people who have contacted me with messages of support, you are all amazing.

I’d also like to thank the medical staff who I’ve dealt with who have been totally amazing and supportive. They have gone above and beyond their jobs in all kinds of ways.

Finally as I said to my radiologist yesterday…If I’m taking so many drugs why aren’t I having fun?

Week 4 of 5

Well, it could be worse 🙂

Apparently in the UK, US & OZ Radiotherapy is 5 days per week for 5 weeks and Chemo is by IV in weeks 1 and 4.

Here, the Radiotherapy is the same but Chemo is by tablet 7 days per week for all 5 weeks.

This may be why my side effects aren’t as bad as I’ve read, and believe me I’ve read a lot of info posted on the web about this!

I do get tired very easily, very very tired but I’m not getting nauseous and apparently I should be as sick as a dog. Now this may be because of the different dosing approach but I don’t think so. I have a pile of anti-nausea drugs that I’ve been given but not used. I really didn’t want to use them as the side effects are just horrible!

I’m using Sea Bands instead, pressure bands for your wrists that are designed to fight sea sickness. I’ve used them for years to prevent sea sickness and they have been brilliant, even making me feel fine when on an ocean going tug in the English Channel trying to film Beachy Head for the opening of the Disney channel in Europe where everyone else on the shoot was projectile vomiting and the whole thing had to be called of and  shot another day.

So, if they work for that…I hoped that they would work for the Chemo induced nausea and they do!!

Thats the good news, the bad news, and you can turn away now if you’re squeamish, is what the Radiation does to your arse. I was warned in detail and the warnings have come true. Your cheeks get very inflamed, sore and can ulcerate. This is because the radiation bounces around between them. This is so far the worst aspect of it all.

The pain can be controlled using Fentanyl patches, I’m now on 3* what I was when I started and I expect to go up another notch tomorrow, and also with sub-lingual Fentanyl that is there for peaks in pain and dissolves under your tongue.

I also have Lydocain cream for the glowing cheeks!

The pain is still building and apparently will continue to do so for 2 weeks after I finish treatment.

The worst side effect is lethargy and vagueness, on that note I’ll pop off and call KLM to alter the date of the return flight I booked yesterday, not fully paying attention and it’s for the wrong date

Stupid thief

We’ve been having a few problems with noise and vandalism so we installed a video entry camera and it was stolen.

We then had all our flowers and decorations in the common entry area vandalised so we installed 2 camera systems.

One on the door to CML HQ and one on out apartment entrance.

They were both stolen, by an idiot who is clearly visible in the recording below. If you recognise him please let us know…

When the men on the chessboard

To make sure that every time I go through the Radiotherapy device I am correctly aligned and that the right bits get zapped I am now tattooed with tracking marks!

It feels like I’m now part of a VFX shoot.

Simple dots to make sure that I am correctly aligned to each morning, lasers beams making sure I’m at the right angle. Wiggle this way, wiggle that way, hold your breath

Of course that’s only half of it, the other half is the Chemo or drugs, more drugs than I’ve taken since the late 60’s!!

This is my stash for the rest of the month.

33 boxes of various varieties, which leads me to the title of the post. One pill makes you larger and one pill makes you small…

No dreadful side effects yet but there’s plenty of time, apparently the pain will be at its worst 2 weeks after I finish Radiotherapy. Pass another patch!

Remember what the dormouse said

Nothing is ever as simple as you think it’s going to be

So, I turned up yesterday expecting to start Chemo but no, I’m starting pre-chemo.

They are testing the hell out of me and then building me up so that I’m in the best condition I can be before they start to F it all up!

Today I have a pre-radiation therapy meeting, that definitely does start next Monday and by then I’ll have had the transfusions that they think I’ll need and also any other chemical tweaks they think are needed.

The list of side effects is enormous, they should try saying what won’t happen, it would be simpler.

I’m also being switched to stronger pain killers, Fentanyl patches and also tablets. They have a refreshing approach to pain killers here, use them! they’ll worry about possible addiction problems later. Actually they said if they gradually increase and then decrease them it’s not an issue.

That’s a big difference form the UK approach of take a Paracetamol because anything stronger will turn you into a junky.

I’m all in favour of pain killers because what the online help & info sites don’t tell you is how much it will hurt.

Hoisington Winner Plans to Pay off Home with Lottery Prize

Hoisington Winner Plans to Pay off Home with Lottery Prize

TOPEKA, KAN. – Mary “Evelyn” VanSteenburgh is an avid player of Kansas Lottery instant scratch games, especially $20 tickets.

“I used to only buy $1 and $2 tickets,” said the 76-year-old Hoisington woman. “Now I almost always buy $20 tickets because I win more often.”

The odds certainly worked in VanSteenburgh’s favor over the weekend when she uncovered a $100,000 top prize on a $20 Lucky Jewels ticket.

“I only bought one ticket,” she told Lottery officials. “When I saw I had won a $100,000 prize, I couldn ...

Geek's gone ad-free thanks to

Sony rumored to introduce iPod challenger at CES

12.13.2008 :: 8:14AM EST
  • bRobert

    I have two iPod touches, and they really suck as multimedia devices.  Awesome hardware, apps, web browsing, email, everything else.  But they are defective by design.  They are “capable” of playing anything, of obtaining content from anywhere, but Apple won’t allow it, and it is impossible to use without iTunes and the converting everything to a specific format.  They are awesome little computers, but awful for what they were designed for.  I agree that nobody does hardware and OS usability better than Apple.  But I also believe that nobody but Apple is quite able to take something awesome and make it mediocre.  If they would just allow the direct transfer and playback of any audio or video format…

  • MartinN

    Re: bRobert
    Don’t expect THAT to be any better with Sony. The last Sony product I bought (about 2 years ago) and most probably the last one I ever will buy from them was an mp3-player. It was so held back by the fantastically stupid, bloated, slow and restrictive “SonicStage” PC software that I literally threw the player into a wall. SonicStage was a requirement to transfer songs to the player and so broken that I two hours after (reluctantly) installing it, I still didn’t have one single song on the player. Then I spent an evening trying to get rid of the software that had invaded every corner of my computer.
    Now I own a SanDisk player that was half price and acts as a USB storage device — just the way it should be.

  • DeployedinIraq

    RE: bRobert—– I have an older generation iPod, so I can’t confirm what media formats play on an iPod Touch — but something tells me that you don’t have to convert to A specific format…. i’m guessing you’re implying everything must be AAC?  You know that MP3s work just fine on it, right?  Or are you complaining that you can’t use a lossless format like FLAC?
    That part is true, and not every player supports every format.  So get rid of the two Touch’s and get what plays the format you want?  Where will you buy your music online for that format?  Or do you rip all of them from CD?  I’m not knocking you if you are — but iTunes/Amazon is not for a consumer like you; it’s for the masses.  It’s a shame AllofMP3 is gone.  You could choose the bitrate and filetype for nearly every song, and it was extraordinarily cheap.
    I will agree with you — the use of iTunes only can irk some people, though I like using it just fine.

  • bear

    more probably he regrets that it cannot simply obtain new codecs as media is added to by synced or converters for said media when new formats are imported into itunes. to compare products it’s a lot like starting out with videolan movie player and then going to windows media player 10 without any communal codec pack. suddenly half your library may not  work, and it will be slow to boot.
    i agree that media formats are less restrictive, but even given the need to reduce power usage by reducing cpu usage in music playback just about any compressed format short of flac should use equivalent cpu horsepower rendering the restrictions pure software writing laziness. when we further consider video playback it gets exponentially worse, although with video at least the compression can outstrip available performance- nevertheless this implies the need for better converters built into itunes. after all one either jailbreaks or uses itunes to get media onto a touch, rendering it a fair trade for such a restriction to have it handle more formats.
    ipod touch 2g + jailbreak + competing stores + automated format conversions for compatability on sync leaving original files untouched as an option + safari remembers logins + ability to enable/disable accelerometers to save power when screen is on or enable a touch control surface one one of the black borders for music control with screen off(screen on means accelerometers, backlight, and more are on killing runtime) = 0.9/win

Joss Whedon Talks ‘Avengers 2’ Script, ‘S.H.I.E.L.D.’ TV Show & Marvel Films
eelyajekiM   |  @   |

The Avengers director Joss Whedon

To say that Joss Whedon is overwhelmingly busy would probably be an understatement. The guy is currently writing and will direct The Avengers 2; he’s an executive producer for the planned S.H.I.E.L.D. television series, and he’s a creative consultant for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Not only that, but he also has to push his contemporary adaptation of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing in the summer. So yeah, he’s got a lot on his plate. But somehow he finds the time to attend events, and at a recent function, he shared a few things about the status of The Avengers 2, S.H.I.E.L.D., and his involvement in creating the films of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Whedon told MTV that The Avengers 2 has an outline and that the script should be ready in a few months. On the tone of the film, he said that The Avengers 2 would go deeper instead of bigger. Honestly after a huge battle like the one we saw in the first film, it be nice to get a more personal story and take a step back from the big hefty action. Apparently he wants to go so deep and personal that it will be painful.

Here’s the full quote:

Don’t go bigger; go deeper. The grand thing is that all of these people have met, so you’ve gotten that out of the way. Now you can spend your time just digging in, and by digging in, I mean with a scalpel, to cause pain.

Whedon also commented on the S.H.E.I.L.D. TV series saying they start shooting a week from Tuesday. He also reaffirmed that he was directing the pilot episode. In terms of scale he said he wouldn’t try to mimic anything he did from The Avengers, but try to make it bigger than your average cop show.

Here’s the full quote:

But at the end of the day, it’s about the peripheral people. It’s about the people on the edges of the grand adventures. The whole point of the show is that even with all these big things, the little things matter. It’s about people who don’t have super powers.

On the status of the other Marvel films:

I read all the scripts and I give notes on everything. I’ll look at cuts when they’re ready to show me. I’ll talk to directors if they want to. I try to make myself useful without being intrusive. I’ve gotten to be a part of all of them. That’s a dream job for a kid like me.

He also has not seen a cut of Iron Man 3 yet.

MTV has the full interview, which you can watch here below.

So are you excited to see where Whedon is taking The Avengers 2? Are you excited for the new S.H.I.E.L.D. TV series?

We continue to develop the GEM application process to make it as manageable and efficient for all parties involved. We appreciate your interest in GEM and will do our best to make your relationship with us be a positive one. We have a number of people involved in the application process.

This page has several types of information regarding the application process.

Fellow Selection

The GEM Office is responsible for soliciting, screening, and processing applications. Applications received by the submission deadline are screened and certified for eligibility. Those approved for fellowship consideration are forwarded to the GEM Selection Committee. Applications and application materials received after the submission date are not eligible for consideration.

Students are matched to Employer members based on compatibility. The GEM Office notifies all applicants of their award status.

Award Notification

Selected applicants are sent a notification of GEM Employer sponsorship and are asked to complete three forms, Student Acceptance Agreement, Code of Conduct, and University Support Confirmation Form. The Student Acceptance Agreement is a contract between GEM and the student that specifies the Fellow will pursue and complete their degree under the terms and conditions as outlined in this Agreement. The applicant becomes a GEM Fellow once all forms are signed and submitted to the GEM National Office along with an OFFICIAL transcript from their current or last university attended.
GEM Consortium Members place applicants not selected on a list for possible later selection. All GEM Consortium Members receive lists of certified applicants not selected initially for GEM Fellowship awards. These applicants may be contacted directly by GEM Consortium Members for a future GEM Fellowship or possibly other educational or employment opportunities.

Graduate Admission

GEM Fellowship awards are only valid at GEM Member Universities, and each GEM University exercises its own admission requirements and standards which are independent of the GEM Fellowship requirements and standards. Applicants who are seniors or who have baccalaureate degrees must apply for graduate admission to GEM Universities at the same time they submit their application materials to the GEM Office.

Graduate Enrollment

The MS Engineering Fellowship requires a student to pursue a master’s degree in the same or related discipline in which they complete their undergraduate degree. Minor variations are permitted if specified on the fellowship application and approved by the GEM Employer Member; however, the length and level of funding associated with the award remains the same. Note, if a change in major requires a lengthier academic program to satisfy deficiencies or prerequisites, this is not a sufficient condition or justification for extending a fellow’s funding or granting a waiver of summer internship requirements.

"NIGG, a parish in the district of Easter-Ross, county Ross, Scotland. It comprises the villages of Shandwick, Balnabruack, and Balnapellin. It extends in length about 6 miles from S.W. to N.E., with a varying breadth of from 2 to 3. The larger portion of the parish forms a peninsula betwixt the Moray Firth and the upper portion of the Cromarty Firth, the remainder being bounded by the parishes of Logie-Easter and Fearn. The surface is chiefly of a hilly nature, the principal hill, called "Nigg," giving name to the parish. This ridge, which overhangs the Moray Firth, extends in length about 5 miles, and attains an altitude of 500 feet. It was formerly artificially wooded with Scotch pines, but these have been entirely cleared, so that it now presents a dreary aspect. Its sides are bold and rocky, and it is chiefly frequented by goats, eagles, and water-fowls. The surface gradually declines towards the Cromarty Firth, and the skirts of this slope become wider towards the N. and W., till they eventually merge in a large tract of level land, which is flanked by the sands of Nigg. The soil of the arable land, which lies chiefly to the W. of Nigg Hill, consists of a fineblack loam upon a subsoil of red sandstone. The chief rocks are conglomerate, granitic gneiss, greenish clay, and sandstone. The village of Nigg is about 3 miles N. of Cromarty. It is situated in a corner of the parish, at the ferry over Cromarty Firth, and near the line of the Inverness and Perth and Inverness and Aberdeen Junction railway, on which it is a station. It formerly had a fort at Dunskeath, built by William the Lion, in 1179. The parish is traversed by the road from the ferry to Tain. A portion of the inhabitants are engaged in the fisheries. The sands abound in mussels and shellfish, which are very productive. This parish is in the presbytery of Tain, and synod of Ross, and in the patronage of the crown. The minister has a stipend of £234. The parish church was erected in 1626, but since that period has been frequently restored. There are a Free church and an United Presbyterian church. There are parochial and other schools. Bayfield House is the principal residence. Near Shandwick House is a large obelisk with hieroglyphic figures upon it, supposed to commemorate the death of three sons of a Danish king who perished by shipwreck upon the coast. Another similar obelisk formerly stood in the churchyard, but was blown down by a storm of wind in 1725. On the farm of Ankerville, more than a mile from the sea, and nearly 200 feet above its level, is a stratum of oyster-shells of considerable extent, and above 6 inches in depth; they lie about 3 feet below the surface, imbedded in sand, similar to that by the sea-shore."

Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4: Performance car of the year

Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4
The Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 has been officially awarded as Performance Car of the Year by Car Magazine. Great pick!

In the November issue of CAR, on sale now, the judges put the competitors through their paces on both road and track. The Gallardo LP 560-4 beat contenders in its supercar group including the Porsche 911 GT2, Aston Martin DBS and Mercedes-Benz CLK Black. It then went on to win the overall competition against finalists from seven other categories, including challengers such as the Nissan GT-R, Mitsubishi Evo 360 and MINI John Cooper Works.

“The CAR test is unique among such awards in that it focuses more on emotion than science. The magazine bases its decision on the way cars stir the soul rather than simply how fast they are or how well they handle. All the finalists are good performers, but only one outshone the others to deliver on everything it promises,“ said CAR editor Phil McNamara.

“The Gallardo LP 560-4 is a special car to see, to drive and, we bet, to own and that’s why it’s our Performance Car of The Year,” was CAR magazine’s final judgement.“

Why use ADDvantage to buy a home?

Buyers and sellers throughout Florida trust ADDvantage® and it's affiliated agents. We make searching for a house in Florida fast and effortless on our popular website GetMoreOffers.com. Our site contains homes for sale by owner and MLS listed properties from many areas of Florida.

Our agents pay attention to every detail about your important purchase. The type of contract that you use to make an offer is important. Our agents will advise you on whether an "As-Is" contract is better way to make an offer versus a contract with repair limits. There is a vast difference. For example, an "As-Is" contract allows a buyer to nullify the contract for any reason once inspected. Where a contract calls for repair limits of 1.5% of the sales price to discuss and negotiate inspection related "warranted" repair items. This type of contract is not as easy to escape. The term "warranted" opens the door for possible conversations that may not be in the best interest of a buyer. Your agent can best determine which type of contract best suits your needs.

Our number one priority is your purchase and getting the most for your money. Each agent that works with ADDvantage® has buyer skills that are exceptional, has demonstrated their professionalism through work ethic, real estate contract knowledge and excellent local knowledge.

Project S.E.R.A. Web Series Promises Zombies And Action

fb share tweet share

Benjamin Howdeshell debuted his short zombie film Project S.E.R.A. online last year. Since then he’s hooked up with the folks at IGN and expanded on his original, 12-minute idea. The team has cooked up a series of six quick installments—ranging from around seven to ten minutes apiece—the first three of which are now online for your perusal.

Project S.E.R.A. skews a little more towards the sci-fi side rather than just straight-up zombie. More of a conspiratorial thriller, one that happens to have violent, brain-dead cannibals, the series follows Gillian Eames (Julia Voth, Bitch Slap). Her father, a general (Dennis Keiffer), was working on a project to help speed the recovery of injured soldiers. In the middle of their work, the venture was shut down. Turns out the biological agent they developed created a strain of hungry zombie. Gillian, along with Lieutenant Riggins (Derek Theler), have to stop the weapon from being sold and used as a tool to destabilize populations in war zones.

From these three episodes, I’m in. Howdeshell creates great tension throughout, ending each segment with a serious cliffhanger. The plot is more of a mystery than an action movie, and you follow Gillian as she unravels the tangled threads, figuring out who she can and can’t trust. A nonlinear approach to the narrative reveals bits of backstory that creates an emotional component.

The end result is a slick, effective offering that has an edge of both action and political thriller, along with strong sci-fi and horror elements. Maybe not the best thing you’ll ever see, Project S.E.R.A. still delivers a lot in small doses, and is worth tuning in just to watch Voth. She carries herself like a complete badass, more about getting things done than wasting time with pointless talking.

You may also recognize Victor Webster if you’ve been watching Continuum.

New chapters of Project S.E.R.A. will drop every Wednesday on their YouTube channel. Episodes two and three are embedded below.
