Book review: The Concise British Flora in Colour

The Concise British Flora in Colour (1965) by W.Keble Martin

[UPDATE: This book review has now MOVED. The synopsis and summary from the original post are below - the rest can be found at Book Review - The Concise British Flora in Colour on my website dedicated to Botanical Art and Artists.]

Title: The Concise British Flora in Colour
Synopsis:The product of a project lasting over 60 years to study, research, amd illustrate the natural wild flowers of the UK.  W. Keble Martin started before the first world war and this book was not published until 1965.  It records short descriptions of the plants with proper nomenclature and popular name.  On the opposite page are the composite illustrations of the variations of flowers within a family.  All the plants and flowers were drawn from life.  The book was a best seller when published in 1965 - a feat not yet repeated for a book about wild flowers.
Summary review: The primary reason for buying this book for me was nostalgia - for my childhood, expeditions to find wildflowers for a primary school project and (I now realise) for those wildflowers which are no longer common.  There are probably quite a few people over the age of 50 who feel the same.  Over and above that this was the book which introduced me to botanical illustration.  I loved the fact that the wild flowers were illustrated rather than photographed and what seemed to me to be the very innovative way that the flowers were arranged on the page.  I was hooked by this book and have remained interested ever since.

A copy of the original post has been archived and is on file.

I was delighted to see your review of this book. I got a copy in a used bookstore during my first trip to England in the mid-eighties. Many of the species illustrated are also here in the states, wild as well as in our gardens, and its been useful and enjoyable over the years to reference. I really like the way he arranged so much on each page so beautifully. Thank you for your informative review.

I'm glad to see your review too !
I was on the first day of my London stay, two days ago, when I saw it in a used-book shop, and I was immediately attracted by the cover (and, to be fair, the price which was only 2£). It is sometimes very difficult to resist a book...
I think I'll need some training to be really able to recognize plants I don't already know, but it's a beautiful book at least, and very enjoyable. And now I will learn the names of the plants in English... (hopefully for me they all have latin names !). I'm very happy to see that it has a long story, and that it is as important as it is beautiful. Thank you again for the information about the book.

A Monkey and his Horse

We had a great day today! I've got a friend who has a horse (doesn't that sound like the beginning of a joke?), and she offered to give the Monkey a ride. My "someday" dream is to own many horses, so of course hubby and I jumped at the offer.

We had to drive about 90 minutes, just about 15 minutes north of Boulder to get there and it was totally worth it. At first, the Monkey didn't want to ride without hubby, so they went around the ring together a few times, and then we asked if he wanted to ride by himself. "Uh huh, YES" was the emphatic answer.

So, hubby hopped off the horse and there was our tiny little Monkey a top the horse (his name was Smokie). He LOVED it! I even caught some photos where I swear he looked like a little jockey in training.

We then got to feed Smokie some apples. Everyone got in on the fun, and even Small Fry woke up from his nap to pet Smokie.

After the horse ride, we went into downtown Boulder and found our former favorite park (from our college days). We had a fantastic picnic and then took a little scenic tour through town and campus - it was fun to see everything again and think back to when we lived in Boulder - pre-marriage, pre-kids. It all seems so long ago yet it was only five years ago!

Measuring up

Well, now, here's the annual Newsweek “Birth to 3” supplement, come into our homes to make us feel badly about our children’s development. Oh, I’m sure there are some people who read it and feel great about their children’s development, or smug--those whose kids measure up perfectly against the magic yardstick, or have sprouted ahead--but most of us surely must look at it with dread, hold our breaths while reading the lists of milestones, panic at each mark that our youngsters haven’t hit.

When, exactly, did childhood become a race? Surely, on some level, everyone acknowledges that every child is different, every one of us develops at our own pace and in our own ways, faster here, slower there. Look at any group of children, and you’ll see diversity. Some are bigger, some are smaller; some talk a lot, some stay silent; some run easily, some lurch about; some are confident, some are shy; some are overachievers, some couldn’t care less. It’s abundantly clear that humanity is not one-size-fits-all.

Yet we’re constantly shown these milestones, in parenting magazines, in parenting books, in Newsweek supplements, on daytime talk shows. How does your child measure up? Should you worry? How can you not? The implication is that every other child at the day care or the nursery school will be running and jumping and skipping and doing advanced algebra, and your child will be sitting in the corner playing with his toes. And though intellectually we may know that there will probably be other toe-players keeping him company, that doesn’t stop the hurt and the worry and the guilt.

It’s particularly hard for parents whose children are decidedly not with the developmental program, those with what are charitably called “special needs.” On a day to day basis, you can love your child, enjoy your child, dote on each hard-fought word and cheer each wobbly step. On a day to day basis, within the reality that is your child, you may not even be aware of his differences. But then comes the IEP meeting or early-intervention evaluation that measures his worth in months instead of years, that puts in concrete how very off the beaten path his development has strayed. Then comes the doctor’s appointment when you have to check off milestones, and find yourself checking very few. Then comes the Newsweek supplement with all the pictures of happy healthy babies who are eating solid food and speaking in full sentences and managing their parents’ stock portfolios. And your undersized toddler’s major achievement in life is producing prodigious amounts of drool. It makes a parent discouraged.

Thankfully, my kids are out of birth-to-3 range, so Newsweek has no hold on me (though I’m sure if I leafed through, I’d see that my 7-year-old is still missing some 3-year-old milestones. I’m sure not going to look.) Still, I wish they’d knock it off. All these inchworms measuring the marigolds that are our children aren’t stopping to see how beautiful they are, in all their permutations of talent and ability. I’d guess that if you looked at any representative group of the most successful, talented, famous grown-ups around, you’d find a fair amount--maybe even a majority--of folks who weren’t the most on-target, on-pace, developmentally adept youngsters. Some of them aren’t all that on-target now. There’s something about the human spirit that can’t be measured. So we should just stop trying.

Or at least stop reading magazines about it.

A letter to Chet's Video Customers
Serving our community has been a labor of love here at Chet's Video & Candy Shoppe. After 25 years, due to the changing environment that has affected video rental viewing, we are closing our store on March 31.
We would love to see customers past and present as much as possible in the remaining months! Use your movie rental credits, gift certificates, and buy some of your favorite movies from our inventory. Help us close strong!
The good news is that I will still be offering my home video transfer service and even better news, we did not want to see our town go without a candy store, so we will be featuring Chet's Candy at Orange Leaf to bring the same candies from Chet's to all kids young and old.
Carrie, Melissa, our wonderful staff and I want to thank you for a wonderful 25 years. It has been our pleasure serving all of you, and I hope to see you at Orange Leaf!

--Chet Strout, owner of Chet's Video & Candy Shoppe, Essex Street

Edith Memorial Fund thank you

For the Edith Dodge Memorial Fund Inc. board members the December gift planning begins in January at our yearly wrap-up dinner. Well,perhaps planning is too serious a word, perhaps just a chat would be more accurate. At the annual meeting in April board members offer creative ideas and volunteer to take on the many tasks necessary for the next (2017 being the forty fourth) year of fulfilling Mrs.Dodge’s dream. Gifts of cookies or clementines may be presented to Marblehead residents 80 years and older and all senior housing residents. Fleece blankets might be gifted to residents of both Marblehead long term care facilities as well as many former Marblehead residents in care facilities around the North Shore. September signals the beginning of three crazy, fun, intense, months of preparation. We are definitely not a “sitting” board. We are, however, but a small part of the challenge to bring some joy to our most valuable elder citizens.

On behalf of the board of EDMF Inc. 2017 Gifting thank you to Editor Chris Stevens and The Marblehead Reporter’s Gifts Of Hope, which has continued to support our endeavors for several years with great coverage. Thank you to Josh at Salem’s Scarlet Letter Press and Gallery for our lovely stationery. Thank you to Shaw’s produce manager Don, for ensuring that our clementines were fresh and ready. Thank you to MHTV for the opportunity to share EDMF information with viewers and to staff Jon Caswell, Joan Goloboy, and Pam Evans, also Coast Guard Veteran Kellie Wright and sister Hannah Cross for pickup and delivery of those clementines to our site.

A most gracious thank you to the Cottage Gardeners of Marblehead and Swampscott (fondly known to us as the “Wrap and Chats”), who, in their 12th year volunteering, completed wrapping 1,700 boxes of Girl Scout Thin Mints and Shortbread into 850 gifts plus be-ribboned 100 clementine boxes in just over three hours. To our many delivery volunteers... Huzza! Huzza! Huzza! We would be dead in the water without you.

We are fortunate to have several returning teams,many from Rotary Club of Marblehead Harbor as well as good people who just want to help. Using social media for the first time, Jack Attridge’s All Marblehead Happenings gained us twelve new teams, mostly families which is very exciting. Several Daisy, Brownie, and Girl Scouts with families also joined our volunteer ranks. One of our future goals is to have becoming a part of the EDMF gifting project a yearly event for as many Marblehead families as possible. When a mother tells me that her 14 year old son wants to do it again and I get a call from a mom whose daughter would like the same route as last year because she liked some of the people so much - it makes my heart sing. What better lesson can we give to our children? As part of the short orientation for new volunteers we explain that they may be the only person the recipient sees for weeks at a time. On the other hand, he or she may be out to lunch, out of town, or out having fun. The many prompt thank you notes we receive so uniformly reflect not only gratitude but often surprise and delight at having a stranger, especially a young one, knocking at their door with a gift. That short interaction is often the gift that lingers long after the treats are gone.

And now to the incredible members of our EDMF board. While my name is often the one seen in  articles about our organization I would look mighty foolish standing alone. The efforts put forth every year by this small but mighty group always leave me feeling extremely grateful and proud to be involved with EDMF. To you, Bill Goodwin, vice president, Gitte Neumann, treasurer, Linda Maffeo, secretary, Kay Monahan, Pam Campbell, Elisabeth Phipps, and until recently Delia Barrett and Marshall Young, thank you. To each one of you who without hesitation jump in,step up, fluff and stuff, address hundreds of envelopes, balance finances, update lists, call, sort, count, tape, tie, stack, tear, order, store, shop, carry, deliver, etc., etc. Thank you. You deserve a raise! Oh sorry, forgot. We are volunteers. Of course we would probably not turn away one or two folks seeking to join our board.

 As a donation centered non-profit organization we survive at the whim of friends and strangers. So if you would like to donate in memory of,or to honor someone important in your life please do. Donations may be made year round to the Edith Dodge Memorial Fund Inc. c/o the National Grand Bank P.O. Box 4, Marblehead.  In gratitude:

--Joan Cutler president EDMF Inc., Evans Road Ext.

Feeling blessed
A year ago, when I wrote about the year 2016 for the Marblehead Food Pantry, I said that the number of households who used our Pantry in 2016 had dropped significantly from 180-190 for the past several years to just under 160.  However, whatever combination of factors accounted for that, 2017 sharply reversed direction and the number of Marblehead households that used our Pantry, either regularly or occasionally, went back up to over 180. In addition to that increase, the number of people we are seeing each week has reached up to 60 - 70, a significant increase over any year we've seen.  We saw 12 new clients just in the past 2 months of the year. Dow Jones may have extraordinarily passed 25,000, but there is obviously still a substantial and even growing population in Marblehead and throughout the country who are still struggling to make ends meet.

The bright spot in all of this is the amazing people in Marblehead who are supporting the Pantry and enabling us to keep up with the challenge of keeping our shelves stocked.  Since we rely solely on donations, it is due to the abundance of the caring and generous individuals, organizations and businesses in our community that pitch in to help that we have been able to keep up with the needs of our population, both on an ongoing basis and with special ham and turkey distributions over the holidays.  While recognizing the risk of unintentional omissions, we  want to publicly acknowledge and thank those that have made our work possible over this past year in addition to the very generous support of a great many individuals.

With financial and/or food donations, all the churches and synagogues in town again generously supported us. All the public schools held food collections for us, including the Charter School, as well as the Devereux School and the Fairwind Learning Center.

We thank  Marblehead's Cub Scout and Boy Scout packs and troops 11 and 79,  the Philanthropic Lodge F&AM Relief Fund, the Gerry Five, the Edith Dodge Memorial Fund, the Marblehead Female Humane Society, the Nu Chi Chapter of the Sigma Phi Gamma Sorority,  Energy Within and Inner Cycle, Fit Girls MHD, Stowaway Sweets, the Burke Insurance Agency, Raveis Realtor Michelle Brown, Risk Strategies Company, National Grand Bank, Marblehead Bank, the Dolphin Yacht Club, the CYC Race Committee, the Shipyard Association, In Stitches of the COA, Singers Happy Hour Club, Zooligan's, Stop and Shop, Marblehead Starbucks, Shubie's, and Crosby's.

We offer special thanks to Frank Bertolino of the Marblehead Community Store, who sells us all the meat we buy biweekly for our freezer, as well as the turkeys and hams at the holidays, at his cost. We warmly thank the Post Office and their letter carriers for making the annual townwide postal food drive possible and successful.

We continue to be grateful for the ongoing support that the Rotary Club of Marblehead Harbor gives us in so many ways, including monthly food collections, providing most of the volunteer help at the annual postal food drive and much volunteer help at our 2 holiday distributions, a donation of roasting pans for our Thanksgiving turkey distribution, and the continuation of donating Birthday Bags to all of our clients' children. We were also supported with volunteer help by the Rotary-sponsored ElderAct Club and the Interact and Cornerstone Clubs at the High School and  Veterans Middle School.

We extend our thanks to St. Michael's Church and Someone Else's Child Foundation for donating generous Christmas gifts to over 100 Pantry children, and to SPUR, who in August donated 73 filled backpacks to our students and, as well, ran a lovely new community garden in cooperation with St. Andrew's Church and provided our clients fresh vegetables twice a week during the whole growing season. Thanks go also to the Park and Rec Garden Project for their donations of fresh produce throughout the season. We are grateful to the Winter Garden Club members for making and donating 50 lovely holiday wreaths and for generous financial support. These thoughtful and generous programs helped to enhance the lives of those families and their children who use the Pantry services beyond the food that we are able to provide.

We continue to be grateful to Fr. Michael Steele and the Star of the Sea Parish for our pantry space in their Parish Center and for the support of their staff, and to the Masonic Lodge for donating basement space for food storage throughout the year and space for sorting food at the annual postal drive. Finally, we couldn't do what we do without the dedicated work of over 40 volunteers who help us in so many ways.

We do our best to thank the wonderful people, businesses and organizations as they contribute food, money, and services, but we also want to thank any whose contributions inadvertently went unacknowledged or who left us donations anonymously.
The Food Pantry is truly blessed to have the depth and breadth of caring and generous community support, and on behalf of all the volunteers and all who use the Pantry, I extend our deepest gratitude.
--Janet Fitch Parker, Director Marblehead Food Pantry, Atlantic Avenue

Adopt a Family Thanks

The Adopt A Family committee from Making Ends Meet would like to express gratitude to the individuals, families, classrooms, clubs and businesses in our community who generously fulfilled the “wish lists” of 160 Marblehead children, reaching more than 80 families. You truly made a difference for our children. To quote one parent, “with my heart on my sleeve, I really want to thank you. I picked up my gifts and almost cried. Bless you for helping my family this way.”

We also thank the school counselors, school nurses, Marblehead Counseling Center and local clergy for reaching out to families and connecting them with us.

A big thank you to the committee organizers led by Phyllis Ellsworth and the cadre of volunteers who manned the receipt and distribution of gifts. A special shout out to Beth Ferris at the Chamber of Commerce for turning her office into Santa’s workshop and to Charlotte Polk for her professionalism and organizational skills.

It is not too early to volunteer to sign up for Adopt A Family 2018 or to send a contribution to fund summer camperships by contacting us at Making Ends Meet PO Box 901 Marblehead or makingendsmeetmarblehead.org.

--Paula J. Dobrow, Calumet Lane, on behalf of MEM Board

A web page about the life of a lady who has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's.

Location: Piedmont, Oklahoma, United States

I live in Piedmont, OK, with my Husband of 50 years who has been very supportive. We have 2 sons,David and Kenny, 6 grandkids, and 6 great grandkids. I enjoy feeding and watching the birds and squirrels. Before I was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, I ran a Licensed Day Care Home for Infants for 15 years. I noticed I wasn't able to remember important things and having problems with my speech. I was experiencing severe headaches. I would get lost. I didn't know how to use the computer. At the age of 55, I told my doctor. I was sent for an MRI. which showed a large amount of shrinkage. I went to a neurologist who sent me for two days of testing. I was diagnosed with dementia of the Alzheimer's type. My husband and I were both in shock. I had to give up my job. I went to see a social worker. I've taken Aricept for 11 years. I can now use the computer and even do this web page. I also host a chat room for dementia patients. This is a very lonely disease. I don't want anyone to feel as lonely as I did when I was diagnosed (I thought I was the only one over 50 that had Alzheimer's). In 2006 I started taking Namenda. Also I was told I have a mixed dementia, Alzheimer's/Vascular.

Pro-Life Vigil in the rain, with the Bishop

Bishop McMahon of Brentwood, pictured just before the start of the Pro-Life vigil in Buckhurst Hill, Saturday 16th July. He was thanked, as this is his 7th year of attending this vigil!

It rained and it rained and it rained! Do contact the Helpers for information about other vigils and to get a recording of the Bishop's Homily.

And lastly, as this was the 7th anniversary of the funeral of Louisa, who was well known for Reduced to clear food here are the crisps I had.

Add category names in product view page

Here is an other short but useful for some people thing you can do in Magento.
Here is how you can add the category tree path in the product view page.

Edit file app/design/frontend/{interface}/{theme}/template/catalog/product/view.phtml

And in the section that you want the categories to appear add this code:
<?php $categoryIds = $_product->getCategoryIds();?>
 <?php foreach ($categoryIds as $categoryId) :?>
  <?php $tmpId = $categoryId;?>
  <?php $categories = array();?>
  <?php while($tmpId != Mage::app()->getStore()->getRootCategoryId()) : ?>
   <?php $category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->setStoreId(Mage::app()->getStore()->getId())->load($tmpId);?>
   <?php $categories[] = $category;?>
   <?php $tmpId = $category->getParentId();?>
  <?php endwhile;?>
  <?php for ($i = count($categories) - 1; $i>=0;$i--) :?>
   <a href="<?php echo $categories[$i]->getUrl() ?>"><?php echo $categories[$i]->getName() ?>
   <?php if ($i >0 ):?>
    ->
   <?php endif;?>
  <?php endfor;?>

  <?php //break;//uncomment this if you want only one category tree to appear.?>
 <?php endforeach;?>

I hope this helps someone.
Keep in mind that this will make your page load a little slower, but I don't think it's something you should worry about.
Any comments are welcomed.

  1. Yes, this is true. I would say that some of your code should go in the Block portion of the MVC model rather than the actual View (phtml file). But overall it works. Thank you!

  2. I agree with you. But if I would have created blocks or modified them it wouldn't have been so easy to integrate.

  3. After a created blocks or a modified them than it's not easy to integrate with it..

Think about how you can encourage someone today

Couple of brief thoughts.

When in a meeting, particularly a church one….if appropriate…share the extra 10%
What he mean is that often the extra little bit we are wondering whether we should say or not, is the most important!
If it is a trusting and loving environment…that extra 10% we may be embarrassed to share, might just be the point which transforms people and direction…in a positive sense.

Encourage people. Someone who was significant in my life a few years back said to me once, “I dont encourage people often, so when I do, they take it seriously” He was dead wrong. People are generally bereft of encouragement in their life. So many take on board comments and words that they shouldn’t. Negative stuff. A word of encouragement, joy, praise…can make all the difference. Be known as someone who shares words of joy and life into peoplt.

Eyre I Come gives owner Grant Hatton first Group One

J Scott Latest News

Eyre I Come furthered his rise among the top trotters in New Zealand and provided co-owner Grant Hatton with a notable first in the $80,000 Fred Shaw Memorial NZ Trotting Championship at Addington on Friday, March 7.

“It was great for Grant (Hatton) and Merv and Meg Butterworth (co-owners),  especially Grant, as it was his first Group One and with a horse he always believed in,” said trainer Mark Jones.

Eyre I Come, stepped up for a Group One win in the $80,000 Fred Shaw Memorial NZ Trotting Championship at Addington on Friday, April 7, 2017.

It was a challenging night of mixed emotions for the Overport Lodge trainer.

He reined stablemate Master Lavros to a game third.

He felt he was on the winner at the 700m but 100 metres later the giant trotter faltered for a few strides then picked himself up again and tried to give nothing away.

Master Lavros finished the race to the bitter end but Mark was soon aware the 2014 Trotting Championship winner had run his last race .

Meanwhile, Eyre I Come’s regular driver Blair Orange produced another gem behind the capable but also injury-plagued stablemate.

After showing gate speed from a favourable alley, Blair took a trail behind early leader Daryl Boko, then was travelling sweetly three back when Master Lavros rolled to the top with 1700m left.

Blair found a winning run one off in the run home to wear down Wilma’s Mate in the shadows of the post and in a NZ record run of 3:12.6 for the mobile 2600m.

Grant Hatton.

The time was 0.2 of a second inside the previous best set by Springbank Sam at Omakau in 2016, with Master Lavros being the second previous holder of the record at 3:13.1.

Mark Jones wasn’t surprised by the record.

“I don’t read anything into times now with the crazy times everything runs,” he said.

Mark always felt Eyre I Come was potentially headed for the top, but there have been a few speed bumps along the way.

“I thought on his Cup day win a few years ago he was a Group One winner but soundness has been his issue,” Mark said.

“He’s still day-to-day but will head back to Auckland for the Rowe Cup,” Mark said.

Eyre I Come, developed by North Canterbury trainer Dave Gaffaney and after four starts, was recommended by Mark to Melbourne’s Merv and Meg Butterworth, and other long time stable client Grant Hatton, as a potential good long-term trot prospect.

He looked destined for the top when winning the intermediate trot at the 2014 NZ Cup meeting but then went winless for just over a year.

Meg and Merv Butterworth.

He’s come back super this term after a good layoff.

The Trotting Championship win lifted his seasonal earnings to $82,442 from six wins in 11 starts.

His first big scalp came over Everybody Knows and Master Lavros in the Group Three $23,000 Teltrac Communications Ltd Summer Trotting Free-For-All at Addington on February 17.

His career record now stands at 38 starts for 10 wins and seven placings for $143,224.

A 6YO Majestic Son gelding, Eyre I Come is the first live foal from Landoras Special, a daughter of former Dominion Handicap trot winners in Sundon and Landora’s Pride.

Springbank Eden, the second foal from Landoras Special, has also won 10 races but from 50 starts for $69,427.

Mark purchased Ohoka Ruler, a brother to Eyre I Come, for $25,000 at this year’s NZ Premier Yearling Sales.

Meanwhile, Mr Hatton’s top pacer Saveapatrol suffered a slight setback on his comeback trail at the Addington trials on March 28 when he lost a shoe.

He subsequently had a few easy days and wasn’t forward enough to take his place in the feature pacing free-for-all at Addington.

Self Defense Seminar in New York May 21, 2013

Tuesday May 21st from 9:30AM - 4:30PM

Mark will be returning to New York City on May 21st to present his Seminar Self Defense for Writers and Filmmakers under the auspices of Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts

Writers and filmmakers need to understand their legal rights and how to defend themselves from those who may seek to exploit them. Production companies and distributors often know all the tricks of the trade, while writers and filmmakers know little about how to protect themselves.
This seminar explains how writers and filmmakers can prevent problems from arising by properly securing underlying rights, and by encouraging the other party to live up to agreements by adding performance incentives, default penalties, and alternative dispute resolution clauses. In the event of a dispute, participants learn what remedies are available to enforce their rights.
Related topics include:
  • creative approvals
  • typical compensation and terms of studio contracts
  • merchandising deals
  • negotiating tactics and strategies
Extensive handouts (see below) will be made available.

Things you should never say ...

Today's long ride has been put on hold whilst I sit, with the rest of the Liversedge clan, in my car on the front drive. Its 7.5 degrees and Oliver (our 3 year old) is driving us all mad. I guess you are wondering why?

The iginition lockout on our boiler kicked in last night and failed to reset. After many attempts we finally gave in and rang homeservice to come and fix it. My wife made the call. 10 minutes later we're evacuating the house. It turns out that during the conversation on the phone Samantha happened to mention she thought she could smell gas. Oh.

As it happens there is no great problem, the 'smell' was not detectable by the other 4 members of the family. But anyway here we are, sitting in the car waiting for Transco to come along and tell us everything is fine.

Moral of the story: When talking to British Gas Homeservice because your central heating system is faulty do NOT say 'I think there is a vague smell of gas in the house' ... lord only knows when the boiler will actually get fixed. Ho hum.

On a happier note, I'm on schedule for a 300k week and have felt really strong on the bike. Been spending a lot of time on the bike so no new posts. Weightloss hit a plateau though.

W'bal its implementation and optimisation

So, the implementation of W'bal in GoldenCheetah has been a bit of a challenge.

The Science I wanted to explain what we've done and how it works in this blog post, but realised that first I need to explain the science behind W'bal, W' and CP.

W' and CP How hard can you go, in watts, for half an hour is going to be very different to how hard you can go for say, 20 seconds. And then thinking about how hard you can go for a very long time will be different again. But when it comes to reviewing and tracking changes in your performance and planning future workouts you quickly realise how useful it is to have a good understanding of your own limits.

In 1965 two scientists Monod and Scherrer presented a ‘Critical Power Model’ where the Critical Power of a muscle is defined as ‘the maximum rate of work that it can keep up for a very long time without fatigue’. They also proposed an ‘energy store’ (later to be termed W’, pronounced double-ewe-prime) that represented a finit…

Polarized Training a Dialectic

Below, in the spirit of the great continental philosophers, is a dialectic that attempts to synthesize the typical arguments that arise when debating a polarized training approach.

It is not intended to serve as an introduction to Polarized training, there are many of those in-print and online. I think that Joe Friel's blog post is a good intro for us amateurs.

For Synthesis Against A Elite athletes have been shown in a number of studies to train in a polarized manner [1][2][3] There is more than one way to skin a cat. Elite athletes adopt plans that include high-volumes of low intensity and low-volumes of high-intensity. Elite athletes have also been shown to train in a pyramidical manner
[13] B Polarized Zones are between LT1/VT1 and LT2/VT2 [1]
LT1/VT1 and LT2/VT2 can be identified using a number of field based approaches [4][5][6][7]

You can follow guidelines on mapping LT1/LT2 to cycling power to make it useful for amateur cyclists. Polarized zones are har…

Finding TTE and Sustained Efforts in a ride

Defining the problem
Any given training ride or race will contain periods of sustained effort, sometimes to exhaustion. Perhaps during the last sprint, or over a long climb, bridging a gap or chasing on after a roundabout or corner.

Being able to identify these efforts is rather useful.

The trouble is, deciding what represents a maximal or sustained effort is often discussed, and generally has fallen into discussions about intensity and FTP or Critical Power. These discussions have tended to then focus on trying to account for the interval duration, periods of freewheeling and applying smoothing etc.

But we already have an excellent description of what constitutes a maximal effort. It is the primary purpose of any power duration model.

Power duration models estimate the maximal effort you can sustain for any given duration through to exhaustion. So if you want to identify maximal efforts its your friend.

Using the model below we can see, for example, that the athlete it represents co…

Driving Test Take 4

The bridge test is proving to be my nemesis indeed as I went, this time with my husband, back for my third attempt at the blasted bridge. We came at about 7:15 having learned that being early does not necessarily entail being called first. At around 10:00 I got called for my bridge test and this time, althought the hand brake was also hard, I was able to lift it and put it down and so I passed my bridge after 3 attempts.

Now my slip is after two months, and this is for the actual road test. Meaning, that my story has no ending yet and so I shall keep posting about it until I finally get a license. Which could turn out to be a problem as by then, I'd have to think about owning a car. That means loans and extra expenses and now I'm thinking if I really do need all that. Phew!

Driving Test Take 3

So I took some lessons for the bridge-hanging and how to work out the clutch and the hand break and the petrol, etc.

I was quite confident when I went for my test as I passed the two previous ones. However, when it was my turn, I got a really old car that has a hand brake as hard as concrete. I couldn't move the blasted thing!

I successfully managed the front end down and reversed back to level position but with my back end down, I didn't manage to be quick enough to put enough petrol and release the clutch so I could go back up. I slid past the yellow line that marks test-takers as failures...and I had to get another slip with the date of my next bridge test.

Driving Test Take 2

Now I took learning it to heart and practised so that I get the correct "measurements" of the reverse parking. Stringent may be the process of getting a license but the gutters in the test area are riddled with markers as to where you are supposed to stop and align either your rear tire or your side mirror to "fit" just right into the gutter as you reverse or parallel park.

So again, at the crack of dawn I was up and off to Muroor. I thought that if you gave your paper first, you get called first...makes sense that way right? Early bird cathing the early call? NO! This time I got called at half past ten! But I was determined to get this and so I passed not only the reverse parking but also the parallel parking test! Hooray!

My dilemna is that I concentrated so hard in passing the first test that I forgot to even bother and practice for the bridge test. But you have no chance to explain, you get pointed at and the place where you should be gets pointed...body language taking more precedence as some aren't English speakers.

So I had to take the bridge test and fail it because I never have done it in my life.

Driving Test Take 1

There I was at 6:30 am, trying hard to stay awake as I hailed a taxi to take me to Muroor...the traffic department, where I was to take my driving test.

There are three tests. First you do a left or right reverse parking. If you pass this, you continue to do a parallel parking (right or left) and finally, the bridge hanging (front and back).

There were about a hundred women, some expats but mostly local ladies who, for the life of me, I could never understand why you'd go to your driving test dressed like a ninja?! The black dress is difficult enough to maneuver in but the covered face...? Not to mention inappropriately high heeled sandals.

Forgive me, I digress. So after about 50 names, my name was finally called and this was around 10:15 am after waiting from 6:45 in the morning. So all sweaty and totally nervous (having witnessed the success or failure of previous test-takers) I went into my assigned car. It was a left reverse parking and I did the reverse beautifully! Now the problem is you must get the car back to it's original position and I don't know what I did but my back tires hit the gutter and so - in so many words...I failed my first attempt.

Like many before me, I went into the office and was given another slip stating the date of my next test. It is after schedule after a month from current date.

Test Drive Part 2

So I'm back with the rules for those interested in procuring a driving license in these parts of the desert.

First, you have to get permission from your company via a letter that says you are gainfully employed and an upstanding member of the community and that you earn this much salary and could therefore, afford a vehicle.

Then you go to the local traffic police depot to open your student driver's file. This takes about the entire morning of a working week. For one, the queue of people wanting a license is impressive. You may have to elbow your way once or twice to save your place in the queue. When you finally reach the person/police at the desk, he or she wil start pointing at some road signs to which you must give the correct name. This goes on for about 10 road signs and then you are given your student's ID that allows you to study driving in the UAE.

There are no written tests and the "name-that-road-sign" is the closest you will get to a test. How this is ever checked though, remains a puzzle.

Then you get a slip of paper that tells you to come back after a month to do three tests in an actual car. That part I will share in my next post so hold on.

Test Drive

Yipee!!! I've finally passed the bridge part of my driving test. It was proving so much to be my nemesis that in several moments of fear and self doubt, I was really close to just giving it all up and bear not having a driving license in the UAE. But three's a charm and I've fianlly got it my third try.

Now I'm off to the fourth and final part of the UAE driving challenge which is the actual road test.

To the foreign visitor of this bog, unexposed to Emirati culture and ways, there are many ways of going about getting a driving license in the United Arab Emirates.

If you come from a first world country, often in huge business/economic relations with UAE, your passport and driving license from your country is enough to get you a UAE equivalent. These are the Brits, Americans, Canadians, European Union member countries, Australians and New Zealanders. From Asia, it is only the Japanese who get the privilege.

If you come from GCC countries - Saudi, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman - you also get the license equivalent from your country.

If you come from the rest of the must go through a series of driving tests to prove you are indeed worthy of such a license.

And that is where the fun starts but I shall post it next blog as my boss just called me for something....

Tennis anyone?

I've finally decided that to shed off these extra pounds, I need a sports where I am able to run around and not look like some kind of crazy woman on drugs. So I've chosen tennis to lead me to the long but hopefully rewarding state of physical fitness - and some mean backhands!

Timely that Alfa Sports should go on sale and so I was able to purchase the basic gear - racket, shoes, balls and bag at 30% discount. I feel like the universe was indeed consipiring so that I would be able to play tennis and lose weight in no time.

Then everything went on a standstill. For one, I don't have anyone to play tennis with me. Unlike eating - where one could fashionable dine needs a partner! Been imploring work colleagues to help me (read that: teach me!) play tennis but since I've bought 'my gear' a couple of weeks ago, the best I've done with it was move it from the bedroom to the living room!

My desire to be Martina is slowly dwindling and I need someone to save me from this predicament. Tennis anyone? Running after balls is more likely but I guess one should indeed start somewhere.

Now where did I put that playstation joystick....?

The Origins of Bat-man

Been gone for too long and haven't done any blog so here's one today:

Watched Stuart Little 2 with Amber on DVD and my husband commented whist Stuart and Margalo were in a romantic scene together (the one where they were in Stu's car watching TV/movie) that THAT was how the bat came to be.

If a rat had wings, surely it wouldn't look so much unlike a bat right? So that's his theory of bathood and how it came into being...a bird and a rat got married and bats were their siblings. Come to think of it... the word Bird + rAT does form the word BAT. Hmmmmm....

On some days, my husband does seem to have a point but who's listening eh?

Summer Long

Most people I know who are expats in the Emirates go home or hie off to cooler climes during the months of July and August, the hottest months in these parts of the desert. But we stayed on. First it was due to lack of funds. No use flying off to Manila then having no dosh to spread around - family and friends. Second, as an effect of reason number 1, I had to take on a part-time job which nessecitated me to stay on the entire summer. Finally, my husband was not allowed to go off on his summer vacation this summer. His boss told him to go and take his summer vacation in the winter(!), imagine that. So we stayed. And steamed. I wasn't bad when you just stay indoors and avoid the sun. But then, electric bills skyrocketed due to all the air conditioners being kept on to maintain a pleasant "weather" at home. I guess in the long run, electric bills are somewhat cheaper than airline bills.

IRS Waives 60-Day Rule For Ill-Advised Rollover Back To Plan

PLR 201122032

In a private letter ruling, IRS has waived the 60-day rollover requirement for taxpayers who had rolled over funds from their employer-sponsored retirement plan into IRAs and, based on faulty advice, subsequently attempted to roll the funds back from the IRAs into the company plan. They learned from the plan administrator more than 60 days later that they couldn't do the rollovers because they were no longer participants in the plan.

Background. There is no immediate tax if distributions from an IRA are rolled over to an IRA or other eligible retirement plan (i.e., qualified trust, governmental Code Sec. 457 plan, Code Sec. 403(a) annuity and Code Sec. 403(b) tax-shelter annuity). For the rollover to be tax-free, the amount distributed from the IRA generally must be recontributed to the IRA or other eligible retirement plan no later than 60 days after the date that the taxpayer received the withdrawal from the IRA. (Code Sec. 408(d)(3)) A distribution rolled over after the 60-day period generally will be taxed (and also may be subject to a 10% premature withdrawal penalty tax). (Code Sec. 72(t)) Only one tax-free IRA-to-IRA rollover per IRA account can be made within a one-year period. (Code Sec. 408(d)(3)(B))

IRS may waive the 60-day rule if an individual suffers a casualty, disaster, or other event beyond his reasonable control, and not waiving the 60-day rule would be against equity or good conscience (i.e., hardship waiver). (Code Sec. 408(d)(3)(I))

IRS will consider several factors in determining whether to waive the 60-day rollover requirement, including time elapsed since the distribution, inability to complete the rollover due to death, disability, hospitalization, incarceration, restrictions imposed by a foreign country, postal error, errors committed by a financial institution, etc. (Rev Proc 2003-16, 2003-4 IRB)

Facts. Before their retirement, Taxpayers A and B were participants in Plan Z maintained by their former employer. Upon retirement, they liquidated their qualified plan accounts. Taxpayer A rolled the liquidated funds over into IRA X, and Taxpayer B rolled them over into IRA Y.

Taxpayers' long-term financial advisor, a licensed and practicing accountant, advised them that funds in IRA accounts are not as secure against third-party creditor claims as funds in tax qualified plans, and that they could achieve a tax-free rollover of their IRA funds back into Plan Z.

Observation: Before enactment of the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 (“the Act,” P.L. 109-8), to ensure maximum protection for retirement funds, advisors would counsel their clients to leave their ERISA-qualified plan interests in their plans, and not roll them over to an IRA. That's because under pre-Act law, plan interests rolled over into an IRA were not excluded from the debtor's bankruptcy estate, and the exemption for IRA funds was subject to restrictions. However, under the Act, a rollover to an IRA is now safe.

Acting on this advice, they requested distributions from their IRAs and deposited the amounts distributed into an account. They then directed the human resources manager at their former employer to transfer the parked IRA funds back into their accounts in Plan Z.

Subsequently, the human resources manager learned from the plan administrator that Taxpayers weren't eligible to make a rollover contribution to Plan Z because they were no longer participants in the Plan. However, he did not inform them that they could not make the rollover contributions until after the expiration of the 60-day period contained in Code Sec. 408(d)(3).

Waiver permitted. IRS observed that the information presented and documentation submitted by Taxpayers was consistent with their assertion that their failure to accomplish a timely rollover was caused by incorrect advice they received from their financial advisor. Accordingly, under Code Sec. 408(d)(3)(I), IRS waived the 60-day rollover requirement with respect to the distributions from IRAs X and Y. Taxpayers were granted a period of 60 days from the issuance of the letter ruling to contribute each amount to a Rollover IRA.

A biddy coop and hotness

Oh my gosh was this weekend HOT!! I can usually take the heat since I worked in it for two years helping my sweetie deliver packages but Saturday it was a scorcher. The breeze blew not cool air but hot air and it was steamy and just miserable but as Joel Osteen says " I wasn't going to let it steal my joy" and me and Mike made the best of it. We started out in Wake Forest for a haircut and then to get me some supplies and then to move some equipment around. We have five pieces at a flea market and I scored a cute ruffle top for five bucks. We then made our way back home and ate dinner at the C&H cafeteria, which is one of our favorite joints to eat. You can a meat, two veggies, bread, drink and dessert for cheap. Then I convinced Mike that I needed some new shoes for church so we ended up in the mall.
But what I really wanted to tell you is that we have our biddy coop built. Mike built it in about an hour and it is too cute. The end of July can't get here fast enough. I think we might go and get one biddy from a local guy just so we can have one now. We would buy from him but he mixes all his chickens and doesn't have full breeds. And if Mike is going to do something he wants it done right so he wants all full bred chickens, I can't blame him. Yesterday we went to Home Depot and found their scrap bin and paid only five bucks for the wood we needed to build our biddy coop. We then headed over to the Lowe's for chicken wire and some precut wood Mike wanted for the coop as well. I would have taken a picture but silly me didn't charge my batteries so I'll post one tomorrow. It really is a cute coop!!
I will have some new jewelry in the shop later today. I have to resize my photos so etsy can pload them.
Until I blog again~ Gal Molly

Learning Disabilities: What Parents Need to Know

Learning disabilities are not disorders of intelligence, but rather, disorders affecting the way information is processed. Continue reading for information about learning disabilities and for tips on supporting your learning-disabled child inside and outside of the classroom.

Find available tutors

What Are Learning Disabilities?

A learning disability is a neurobiological condition that can make it difficult to sufficiently complete learning tasks in a traditional school setting. Kids with learning disorders display differences in neural structure and brain function that may affect their use of spoken or written language. Thus, they may struggle with listening, speaking, reading, writing, thinking or performing calculations. Some learning-disabled children also have motor-coordination problems that can make activities like cutting, zipping or tying shoelaces taxing. Finally, some students may have problems that affect higher-level functions, such as abstract thinking, time-management and the capacity to organize materials.

Though learning disabilities are not caused by emotional disturbance, physical disability or mental retardation, learning-disabled students sometimes suffer from emotional issues as a result of experiencing failure inside and outside the classroom. For this reason, early diagnosis and special education support can be key to helping these students succeed. Learning disabilities remain a lifelong challenge; getting your child the support she needs, however, can noticeably ease her developmental process.

Common Learning Disabilities

Students with dyslexia have trouble identifying separate phonemes, or word sounds, in complex words. For this reason, they often struggle with reading, writing and spelling. Because it's hard for them to recall the images they perceive, dyslexics also commonly struggle with forming letters and numbers in the correct sequence to write sentences and perform mathematical calculations.

Dyspraxia affects fine-motor movement. Students with dyspraxia may have poor balance, faulty hand-eye coordination, a sensitivity to touch and an inability to complete tasks like drawing, doing puzzles and writing. If a student has verbal dyspraxia, he or she may also stammer or need extra time to verbally respond to questions.

Children with dysgraphia struggle with writing letters and words legibly on paper. They tend to omit words, letters and sentences when they're writing; it's also common for them to mix printing and cursive letters together. These students may show an inability to logically plan where to space words on paper and have difficulty with creative writing, where they must think and write simultaneously.

Language Disorders

Kids with language disorders, often called aphasia or dysphasia, struggle to express their thoughts verbally. They often have the feeling of knowing what they want to say without being able to find the right words. They may also struggle with recognizing objects and have trouble understanding aspects of spoken language.

Visual Motor Deficit Disorders

Visual motor deficit disorders tend to cause children to have painful or itchy eyes. Common school issues include a tendency to invert letters (as in writing w instead of m) and an inability to accurately cut or paste, copy words or space letters correctly.

Tips to Use Outside the Classroom

If your child has a learning disability, it's useful to maintain a positive attitude and focus on your child's strengths rather than emphasize his learning issues. Providing him with a study space that is free of distraction can also encourage his learning development. Still, your child may need help doing class assignments. If you have time, you can sit with him while he completes assignments and support him with non-traditional teaching activities, such as repeating words and sentences aloud or discussing math problems verbally. You might also consider hiring a tutor with special education experience to help your child practice non-traditional learning methods.

School Advocacy Tips

Discuss your child's issues with her teacher and if appropriate, set up a meeting between you, her teacher and the school's education support team. Team members will vary depending on the school and your child's disability. You can expect, however, to find at least a few of the following people present: a school nurse, a school administrator, a child psychiatrist or school psychologist, a speech therapist or a physical therapist. At this meeting, make sure to address all of the available options.

Your son or daughter may qualify for a Section 504 or for Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) services. Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 ensures a suitable education to every child, regardless of disability (www.2ed.gov). Section 504 adjustments differ from child to child, but a common feature is increased parent-teacher collaboration, daily time spent with a special education professional, reduced workloads and homework tasks that emphasize specific activities.

If your child qualifies for IDEA services, the education support team will create an individualized education plan with measurable yearly results (www.2ed.gov). Any changes to this plan require your consent.

Puzzle 60: Eliza Pseudonym of Puzzlania 5

Can you tell that this puzzle was inspired by insomnia? :p

Rules of Eliza Pseudonym of Puzzlania

During a five-night period from Monday through Friday, Eliza Pseudonym had a series of unusual dreams. Every night, she had a dream set in a different unusual place (in one dream, Eliza found herself on trial in a courtroom). In each dream, a different one of her closest friends unexpectedly appeared and said something seemingly nonsensical. Eliza noted that she had eaten something different each night before going to bed; needless to say, she has sworn not to eat any of those foodstuffs so late at night ever again! From the clues below, determine the setting of the dream Eliza had each night, which of her friends made an appearance, what each friend said, and what food item Eliza had eaten each night.

1. Eliza had a dream about her friend Carla precisely two nights before or two nights after her dream in which she was a soldier on a war-torn battlefield.
2. The dream in which a friend said, "I like shorts! They're comfy and easy to wear!" occurred either the night before or the night after Eliza ate beef jerky.
3. Eliza ate some delicious chocolate chip cookies on the night her dream featured a friend saying, "I was raised by a cup of coffee!"
4. Barbra made an appearance in a dream precisely three nights before Eliza ate pickles.
5. The dream with Delilah in it occurred some time prior to the dream in which Eliza's friend said, "There is no nineteenth story, so there is no Miss Zarves."
6. Eliza dreamed that she was the host of a popular talk show either the night before or the night after her dream where a friend said, "Paleobotanical backwards licorice."
7. Anna was in Eliza's dream precisely one night after pretzels were eaten before going to bed.
8. A friend said, "Mr. Jock, TV quiz PhD, bags few lynx," in the dream where Eliza was a scientist performing studies at a laboratory.
9. Eliza ate an orange precisely two nights after she dreamed about dancing to funky music at a disco.
10. Fiona appeared in Eliza's dream on Tuesday night.

Well Hello Again...

It's been a while, huh?

The Nightingales are in the middle of a long, hot Oklahoma summer. Jacob started drum line camp just this morning. He is playing tenors in the Jenks High School Trojan Pride. Joshua just got back from an incredible week in Knoxville, Tennessee. He was at the Evangelical Covenant Church's triennial youth conference, CHIC. We spent the first part of the summer in California, visiting friends and family in Redwood City, attending the Covenant's Annual Meeting in Irvine, and staying with Luanne's mom and dad in Simi Valley. I was commissioned as a minister in the ECC, an honor that I wrote about for the Worship Connect blog. Emily's rocking Jenks Gymnastics and Zach's playing competitive soccer for the West Side Alliance.

We are sad at the passing of Luanne's grandpa, Paul Brown, but we are grateful for his full and faithful life. We are praying for comfort for his wife, Olivia, and for Luanne's mom, aunt and cousins.

What's up with you?

Welcome to MavBlog!

Welcome to MavBlog • Providing Insite & Information on the Mavericks Since 1985Mankato, Minn.

Hallowe'en 1991 and the Mavericks

Following a late October storm that buried Mankato
with 20 inches of snow, the Maverick football team
worked to clear Blakeslee Stadium for a game vs. Augustana
This Halloween will mark the 25th anniversary of the worst snow storm to hit the Midwest since November of 1940.

Overnight on Thursday, October 31, 1991 Mankato was hit by a snowstorm that left almost two feet of snow across Minnesota. The storm kicked off an unusual set of events, including some which wreaked havoc with the Minnesota State football team, which was steaming toward a spot in the NCAA Division II playoffs.

The Mavericks entered the Oct. 31st weekend standing 3-3 in North Central Conference games and was looking for a home win against a University South Dakota side that was 1-6 on the season. That was before the storm hit, making roads impassable as virtually everything in southern Minnesota, along with most everywhere else in the upper midwest, ground to a halt for several days.

And for the first time in the history of the storied NCC, which dated back to the 1921 season, all football games across the conference that weekend were cancelled.

“Trick or’ treaters were done early that night and the snow started falling," said Don Amiot, the Athletic Director for Minnesota State at the time, recalling the onset of the storm. "In the morning we couldn’t get anywhere, everything was shut down.”

A sophomore quaterback named Jamie Pass, a Chicago native who had just transferred from Western Michigan, was new to the area and was about to find out what Minnesota winters were about.  "The highways were closed down because of the storm and no one could move. Canceling football games? I’ve never seen that before,” said Pass.

Unfortunately, Saturday's game vs. the Coyotes would not be rescheduled. The Mavericks had two remaining home games, and although the snow had stopped falling, it was still causing problems. With venerable Blakeslee Stadium still submerged in snow and ice in the following days, almost incredibly it appeared that another crucial home date was in jeopardy. After searching for a Plan B, the DakotaDome in Vermillion, S.D., emerged as a potential site for the Mavericks to "host" it's next opponent, South Dakota State.

The DakotaDome, which ironically is the home field for the University of South Dakota, was busy due to to the fact that is was indoors. But if teams could get there, it was one of the lone facilities in the area that had a playable field.  The Dome was set to host three other football games that afternoon, so the Mavericks and the Jackrabbits would not kick off until after 9:30 p.m.  Serving as the home team and with the department working as it normally did when it ran a home game (the public address announcer, scoreboard and score clock operators, chain gang, press box staff, etc., all travelled from Mankato to Vermillion to work the game), the Mavericks prevailed in the unusual contest, winning 23-0.

The last hurdle to jump in order for the Mavericks to make the NCAA postseason was to find a way to win a final home game against Augustana. This game had originally been scheduled for the UNIDome at the University of Northern Iowa. But, with the entire Maverick football team pressed into snow removal service, work began on clearing Blakeslee Stadium with snow blowers and shovels. Amiot understood that if the University was to use heavy equipment to clear the fields that it could have resulted in damage to the turf. So the job was left to Runkle and the football team and the mission was accomplished.

And although most of the snow from the storm had been cleared from the field, the snow banks created by shoveling led to some interesting plays.

“The sidelines were a mess, the field was soft and you couldn’t play a real football game," said Dan Runkle, who coached the Mavericks from 1981-2001.

The sidelines were packed with snow and big plays were the difference as the Mavericks dispatched the Vikings by a 28-14 margin. The all-important win gave the Mavericks a 7-3 regular season mark and a spot in the postseason, their second such foray into the NCAA tournament under Runkle.

“It was a fun, strange year. To have a game cancelled, another played over two days (the game vs. SDSU in Vermillion didn't end until early in the morning) and make the playoffs.” said Runkle.

Undoubtedly the 1991 season will be remembered as one in which the Mavericks made the NCAA playoffs - one of sixteen teams playing football in the DII postseason. MSU defeated North Dakota State 27-7 in Fargo before falling to Portland State in the quarterfinals in finishing with an 8-4 final record.

For those that experienced it though, the infamous "Hallowe'een Blizzard of '91", will be hard to forget.

Hi all, I've been having some problems with my shoulder this past year and saw the Physio for some sessions, see...
***** Ouch not again! *****
Unfortunatly after a few months of squeezing, poking and proding the deal is....
Sorry, it's not working go back to your Doctor....well, alrighty then!

Our G.P. says don't bother coming in, I know what it's like so I'll just refer you to an Orthopaedic.
They'll be in touch, well cheers!

Nobody has ever mentioned surgery and I'm pretty sure I'd have remembered THAT bit, don't you think?

I guess it'll be a case of keep taking the painkillers and slapping on the TENS

Must admit, they do ease the pain somewhat but I'm not so sure about the woosy feeling that comes with them too.

Being a Tee-totaller, I wouldn't know but at a guess, maybe this is how drunk people feel!

Maybe I'll just pass on the pills and keep zapping away!

Thank Goodness Coo's still feeling Hunky-Dory at the moment and I suppose, looking on the bright side at least I'll avoid any more painful Physio sessions for the time being anyway!

Carer's roller coaster or see-saw?...

Hi Guys, things are still a bit difficult at the minute.

Coo's AED levels(Anti Epilpesy Drugs) are still very up 'n' down.

It seems more of a roller-coaster ride than a see-saw at the minute but we're still hanging on in there!

He seems to have turned night into day too so he's sleeping (and seizing) throughout the day and this means we're more at home again this week!

I used to find enforced time at home a bit difficult but I've learned to accept this and make the best of things so it'll be crafting and cooking and if the weather improves enough I may even make it out to the garden for a wee while - who knows! lol

More bloods getting done tomorrow so maybe we'll have a better idea of what is going on - let's hope so!

I'm sitting here typing and guess what?
Yet again, the sun is at last trying to break through today! Woo Hoo

Oh, let's hope it sticks around for a wee while! Some time in the garden? now that would be nice!

Everything seems just that little bit brighter when the sun's rays have warmed them and that includes my mood too! lol

I hope you have some sunshine too and better still some sunny thoughts to match!
