Dear Diary: 1-Hour Photo Studio Reservations

Dear Diary,

Something really interesting is going to happen for Photo Studio Reservations in March. We’ve gotten feedback that our members want shorter reservations in the Photo Studio. So, we’re trying out 1-hour reservations on Thursdays in March.

Access to the Studio hasn’t changed, so members still have to:

1. Complete the General Orientation

2. Complete the Photo Studio Orientation

3. Pass the Access Assessment for the Photo Studio

Also, each 1-hour reservation still counts towards the limit of 3 that our members can have active at any given time, but we hope this will meet the needs of our users!

My matched set of grandchildren - Oliver and Cosette

Wednesday, October 31, 2012

Trying to type a blog entry but there's this sweet little kitty who keeps tapping me on the arm with his little paw begging for treats. He has the tiniest little *mew* instead of a bold meow. I can barely resist him. He even charmed Pop into giving him the lid off the can of salmon from dinner the other night (salmon croquettes... one of my favorite Pop dishes).

I made english muffin pizzas last night... just a very thin ground beef patty on an english muffin, topped with half of a stewed tomato and some strips of bell pepper, drizzled with olive oil and topped with parmesan cheese. It's one of mine and Austin's favorite meals.

The weather this week has been bizarre... howling winds, a sudden drop in's 38 degrees outside right now. We're hundreds and hundreds of miles away from the storm but the wind has been stiff all week. Austin and I went out for groceries yesterday morning and he went in shorts and a polo shirt. He left his hoodie and any other warmish clothes at the mountain house. He said he was fine. On the way home from the store he asked if we could stop at the thrift store to pick him up something. We did... for $1.75 we got him a fleece jacket.

I've only been to Newark (on the way to NYC)... never actually visited New Jersey... but all my genealogy research has shown that I'm about 1/2 Jersey Girl... and it breaks my heart to see the devastation there. Not just there but throughout the Northeast. I think this is what makes me particularly well suited for the work I do... I am a huge empath... I take it personally. Many generations of Gants called Monmouth County, New Jersey home and my heart breaks for my ancestors' home place but even without the family connection, there's a human connection that I can't escape.

Yesterday was a day off for me... worked Monday, off Tuesday, work Wednesday thru Friday... I know y'all are sick of hearing this but *I LOVE MY JOB!* In November I am taking a class that lasts 8 hours two days in a row. It will hurt like heck but the reward for me is that out of the eleven days following that class, I will be off for 9. Five day weekend... work two days... four day Thanksgiving weekend. It's a rough life. Actually, sometimes it IS still rough. I never dreamed that *prior to* age 45, I would struggle to work a part-time job. I'm grateful for every paycheck, every opportunity to do for myself.

I'm so ready for this election to be over. People are so bitterly divided. Four years ago, even though I didn't vote for him, I had high hopes that Obama could be a uniter. He's not. I can't remember a time in my lifetime when people have been on such completely opposite sides of issues. Good people, nice people, law abiding citizens who have made your political beliefs into a statement about about your character. I was so deeply stung by a comment that a friend made on facebook last week that I had to remove her from my news feed... I didn't unfriend her... I hope that things will simmer down after the election... but being accused of putting money (the economic strength of our country by electing a successful businessman) ahead of people's rights (gay marriage - which I don't believe either candidate truly supports... I mean, if Obama saw it as a priority, why didn't he shove it through like he did Obamacare?)  was more than I could swallow. We've been down the rabbit hole here lately and I don't like this glimpse of insanity that our nation is displaying.

Well... once again my blogging time has been interrupted by the zoo... Lily has to go out... Lily has to come in... Lady has to go out... Lady has to come in... All in the space of five minutes. Oscar is up and down with me and it takes a few minutes to get him resettled every time I get up and sit back down... by the time I get rearranged I've lost my train of thought. My power cord on my laptop has become so positional that every time I get up and down I have to rearrange things... and this time I can't get it to work. Ugh. Guess I better post before the battery dies and hope that I can get it to work again later. I've got to get a new laptop... the power cord connection itself is broken.

Anyways... time to put on a happy face and get a shower and glam. Time to go to work. Happy Wednesday.

Reasons to Love Monday

Auntie Em! Auntie Em!
We're hundreds of miles away from the eye of Hurricane Sandy and yet, here in the southern suburbs of Atlanta, we are experiencing strong winds. God bless all y'all in a more direct path! Praying God's protection and provision for you during the next few days.

It may not feel like it if you're in a part of the world that is hunkered down to prepare for the Frankenstorm, but here in Georgia it's Monday... and I'm determined to find Reasons to Love it!

1. Wall to wall storm coverage on the tv. I love it. I'm a catastrophe junkie. I was destined to be in the insurance industry because I have such a tender heart for those who are suffering. I'm a great commiserater. If that's a word.

2. On Saturday I predicted that Obama would use Sandy as an excuse/reason for him to not be re-elected and/or, I predict that he will not relinquish the Presidency, even if voted out of office based on the process being unfair since the location being targeted is a big liberal leaning area. I heard the first talking point yesterday from a Democratic Strategist who stated, "Republicans will use this as an opportunity to disenfranchise Democratic voters". Give me a freakin' break! It's an act of nature! What did Republicans do to cause it? And wouldn't it disenfranchise equally? Ugh.

3. I stumbled across this today and thought it was interesting... 218 Reasons NOT to vote for Obama . If you're a google addict like me, you can just google "Reasons not to vote for Obama" and you'll find hundreds of similar essays.

4. Austin gets his iphone4 today. He's had a rough past few months. It's hard to strike out on your own, especially if you're not really ready for it. He's really, very much been a pleasure to be around since he's been back with us. Mama and daddy's house in Riverdale is small... four bedrooms but they're all packed to capacity... there's only one bathroom... Austin is sleeping on a massage table in the computer room and he's really just rolled with the flow. There's tons of room in the mountain house but none of us can be there full time yet and he doesn't drive or have a car available so we can't leave him there alone. He's been really, very, incredibly cooperative. I can't emphasize enough how helpful he's been around here. He doesn't have a job yet but he's hesitant. It's very different here than it is in the mountains. He needs a little pick me up and his mawmaw, who spoils all her grandkids when given the chance, indulged him in a new phone. He's thrilled because it's much newer technology than he had before. I'm thrilled because it's cheaper than what I've been paying for his phone (which, for now, I'm doing). Happy kid = happy mommy and happy mawmaw.

5. I had a great night's sleep last night. I was feeling really icky yesterday... headache came back... earache came back... my eye was really weak (and it still is, not as bad, though)... so I went to bed early and slept great. I got up once to pee and little kitty was offended that I was moving the warm blankets so he snagged my thumb with his claw. It hurt really bad. Other than that, it was a great night's sleep.

6. I'm working today, off tomorrow, working the next three days, off for two days... I mean... for a girl who battles chronic pain and fatigue and needs "recovery" days... this is a perfect job. And have I mentioned how much I love my job? Love it.

7. My co-worker Nancy is having lapband surgery today. She has worked sooooo hard sticking to her liquid diet to prepare for it. She wants to be healthy and I'm so proud of her! Praying that everything goes well for her and she's back at work soon. She is on the other side of my office and there is a window between us so we exchange eyerolls and shrugs and giggles all day. I can't wait to see her transition into skinny wench!

8. It's gonna be cool all day so I can wear my cute boots and tights and warm long skirt and I just love it!

Time to get ready for work... hope you all have a great day and stay safe! *hugs*

Sarabeth's Tenth Birthday party

We had a quick trip to the mountains this weekend for Sarabeth's birthday party. She's ten! How is my girl ten?

I had a migraine on Friday and I was worried about my ability to drive... it's a hundred miles... so, not terrible... but it COULD be quite miserable if the headache struck again. It hasn't. My left eye is weak and keeps watering so I drove home today like a pirate... but there was no traffic so it wasn't bad. Austin gave me a little back up on changing lanes and so forth and I was eager to get back home and in the nest so I could start my obsessive pending doom watch with the Hurricane taking aim at the U.S.

S.B. had a great party... a Georgia Bulldogs *eyeroll* party... which, I suppose, was inevitable. Her mama went to Georgia... and Sarabeth's nursery was decorated in a UGA theme so she's been surrounded by influence... all her life. In this picture she's wearing the shirt I gave her for her birthday... I drug Cody, Ryan and Marquee to five different stores searching for the exact style I wanted for her... I wanted something that LOOKED like a girl's shirt and this  one was from the Alyssa Milano collection at J C Penneys. (the cash came from Mawmaw and Pop, not from me). (And, by the way, doesn't my sister-in-law look gorgeous in this picture? Love her so much!)

As usual, we had her party on their front porch... the weather was gorgeous... we had a good turn out, lots of sweet little girls and a bunch of family and friends. I'm always excited to see the little girls that have been a part of Sarabeth's life for most of her life like Jessalyn (whose dad went to church with us when we were kids) and Jorjanne (who I always factor in when buying surprises for the girls, I buy in threes, usually!) and it's fun to find out who Sarabeth is hanging out with at school. Her sweet friend Camden gave her a necklace... they match and say something like "best friends forever" or one of those sweet sayings that little girls should always have when they're about that age.
And we love seeing my sister-in-law's family... here is Sarabeth's cousin Hannah, who just gets prettier and prettier every time we see her. Notice those "circle -G" tattoos on everyone's face? That was my job. And proof that I love my girls more than football rivalries, which, in the south is a pretty big deal. Yesterday was the annual showdown between the University of Georgia and the University of Florida. Although I don't take things as personally as I did back when Tim Tebow was quarterback... I'm still a Gators fan. I tried telling the kids that the tattoos would come out better if they would say, "Go Gators" while I pressed them on. No takers. And the Gators lost.
My Jamie doll went from this.....

to this... by the end of the day. This quilt was one of several they had made out of Gramps' old shirts. This was our first birthday party without Gramps, who passed away this past Spring. We missed him but I know he's watching over these girls still.

I love this picture of Sarabeth and Jorjanne (who is wearing a Georgia Tech shirt, not because she's a Tech fan but because she's an instigator and I love that she's growing up with that sense of humor!)

 We played (they played) some games... and it was just a really good day. A good day to be ten. And then we went back to the mountain house and had dinner... and then early bed time for me... the Pirate drive home and I've been tucked in the nest resting up for the week ahead.
 Happy Birthday Sarabeth!

Stay safe, y'all!

Thoughts on a Poll

Yesterday morning I posted the following Facebook status:

  1. Without starting a political debate... I'd like to take an unofficial poll of my facebook friends about the upcoming Presidential Election. Out of registered voters - people who have already voted or are certain that they will vote, who is your choice for President? If you don't mind sharing... will you also give your age and the State where you live? Just those three things, no commentary or explanation... I'm interested to see how my friends, acquaintances, family members, blogger babes, game buddies, etc are voting. Thanks!
    Like ·  ·

   By last night
   I had 62 responses.
   51 voted for Romney
  1 voted for Johnson
  1 is leaning Johnson
  8 are voting for Obama
  1 is voting for Carter (Jimmy, I presume.)

  Out of my responders
  46 live in Georgia
  2 live in Pennsylvania
  1 lives in Ohio
  1 lives in Massachusetts
  1 lives in New Jersey
  1 lives in Maryland
  1 lives in Virginia
  2 live in Tennessee
  2 live in Mississippi
   1 lives in Louisiana
   1 lives in Florida
   3 live in California
Yes, my demographic is white, middle aged, somewhat conservative and Southern. So certainly, my facebook friends would fall along those lines. I do have a lot of friends who are much more diverse and much more liberal and I'm surprised that more of them didn't stand up to be counted... especially in the requested format of no debate, no commentary, no explanation.

Realistically, I knew that there were gonna be a few who colored outside the lines and that's ok. The only comment that was really abrasive to me came from someone who is a friend of a friend, who I don't know a thing about - and who likewise, doesn't know a thing about me. Or Southerners.

I believe the State of Georgia WILL go to Romney this year but I believe the Atlanta area will not. Atlanta is typically solidly Democratic, regardless of the candidate.

I love that my friend Christy pointed out that she votes based on candidate, not party. I wish that more people examined the individual and voted on their strengths and weaknesses in line with what our country needs.  Do we need a Community Organizer / Law Professor or do we need a businessman? For me, that's the bottom line.

I disagree with Obama's socialized policies, primarily Obamacare. Yes, as a partially disabled, single female without health insurance, I need help taking care of my medical expenses. You know how I handle it? I pay them myself. Fortunately I'm in a position where my living expenses are mostly covered and I know that few people have that luxury, however, I have had to pick and choose what kind of medications I can afford to take, what kind of treatment I can afford to use, etc because of the limitations of my budget. Mandated health insurance, putting demands and requirements on businesses, putting out a program that our country cannot afford is not the answer for me and others who are in the same (or worse) circumstances. The audacity of "pass the bill and then you can find out what's in it" didn't sit well for me.

Taking away the freedom of religious groups to determine that they don't want to cover birth control for their employees when it is against their moral beliefs to me, is a slipperly slope to taking away religious freedom. If you go to work for an employer who YOU KNOW is against birth control then, in my opinion, you have made the choice that if you want and need birth control, you're going to pay for it yourself.

For that matter, I don't think birth control should be a part of Obamacare, just like for years it was not covered under most health insurance plans. What you do with your reproductive freedom is your business and your responsibility, in my opinion. As a young married woman, it was up to me and my husband to determine if and when we had children.

I think government assistance is out of control. My kid lived for a few months with people who don't work and live off of the government... so the first thing they did was get Austin signed up for food stamps. His money came in this week and the first thing he did was go to the convenience store and get a red bull. Seriously. I believe in a hand up, not a hand out. I think food stamps should cover real, honest nutrition - not stimulants.

I think taxation is out of control. I think the small percentage of people who actually pay taxes are carrying a burden that is too heavy. I think raising taxes "on the rich" won't be enough to take care of our current debts and certainly not enough to cover this socialized medicine debacle. I think there are too many people who are able to avoid paying taxes. I think there should be a nationalized sales tax instead of income tax. That way everyone in this country, regardless of how they got here and how long they're staying will have a hand in building roads, bridges, providing national defense, paying for nationalized healthcare, etc.

I don't appreciate the mentality that if you're not for Obama you're racist, homophobic, "Southern" or any other such pigeon hole. There are a lot of things about Mitt Romney that I'm not crazy about but I feel like he is the better equipped candidate when it comes to sorting out the mess that Obama "inherited". I feel like over the past four years Obama has bellyached and whined and complained about how things were so much worse than he thought. He was a Senator. He was involved in the budget process. When he campaigned for President four years ago, it was incumbent on him to be aware of the job requirements and challenges. If he didn't know how bad things were, then that tells me he didn't do his homework, therefore, he doesn't deserve four more years.

And as far as I'm concerned (and I'm no economist) a huge part of the major economic fail that happened at the end of the Bush administration was the result of the mortgage crisis which was the result of laws that were put into place in the Clinton administration. And regardless of who caused it, we need a shrewd businessman to step in and right the sinking ship that our country has become. At some point it stops being about who caused it and starts being about who can fix it.

So... that's my hardcore, political rant for today. I understand and respect that people disagree with me. I can only vote my choice and my conscience and I hope that you will all do the same.

IN OTHER NEWS... I'm pretty sure I have an ear infection, having had several over the past few years and being familiar with the symptoms. My left ear is clogged up and mega painful. I've made it through work all week (I say "all week" like that's been a big hairy ordeal - I've worked ten hours so far this week) but I have come home and tucked into the nest and really, really felt rotten. I feel rottener this morning. And yes, I know that rottener isn't a word. I don't miss work, though, because it's just a couple of hours and I really do enjoy being there.

I came into work yesterday to find a lumbar support cushion in my desk chair. It came from my boss. His chiropractor thought it would help me. It's the little things like that that make the difference for me. Instead of being vilified for physical limitations, I'm getting a lot of encouragement, understanding and support, both figurative and literal. That makes me feel like part of the team. As a matter of fact... that was what I was told last week, "you may be part-time but you're still part of the team". My contributions are valuable and validated and that helps give me the extra push when I'm not feeling 100%. It helps me go the extra mile with each and every customer because as a valued member of a team, I want to do everything I can to strengthen our team. I love my job.

Early in my tenure with this job,  I was asked to type a letter for the boss. He dictated, I typed and made small, slight suggestions on wording. The next time he needed a letter, he dictated to my direct supervisor and had her bring the information to me to transcribe. Yesterday he gave me the points he wanted to make and had me actually write the letter. That's what I love about my office... not everyone has the same gifts and abilities. The mark of a good leader is being aware of the strengths and weaknesses of your team and using them in a way that strengthens the team as a whole. It's so simple but such a morale boost for an office when everyone knows that what they do matters.

Anyways... I have a later schedule today and I think that will help me get my ducks in a row before I go to work. I hope you have a great day and that wherever you are, whatever you're doing, whether by voting or working or just being a citizen of your community, that you will feel valuable and valued. *hugs*

Come Play On MY Mood Swings

At the risk of sounding bi-polar, today has been a total mix of ugh and awww.  I'll color code my report so you can see the different shades of my ever changing mood ring. In case you can't tell... this is the not happy stuff. This is the happy stuff.

Pain level - astronomical. From earache to muscle spasms in my rear to the evil gut pain that will be the death of me.

Windows open, beautiful weather here today. It's a little warmer than I prefer but it's cooler here in the basement than on the main level of the house.

My kid has been procrastinating on putting on the renewal sticker on my car tag. Here in Georgia your registration renews on your birthday. He finally went to do it today and the adhesive came off the sticker from being left in the hot car for a month. Don't know if they'll just replace it or if I'm going to have to MacGyver it in place. Either way it means an extra trip to the tag office which... fortunately is never crowded and the people are always nice.

Mom vacuumed the downstairs for me today. I always think, "eh... it's fine" and then she does it and it looks so much better. I love my living space.

Pop made an awesome lunch.

I got several fruits and veggies in today.

Dinner is going to be cereal.

Have I mentioned pain today? Don't want to bury the lead. It really is the lowlight of the day.

The highlight was introducing my niece Jamie to the wonderful world of cat's cradle. You know, from back in the days when we didn't have electronic entertainment and had to entertain ourselves with rocks and sticks and pieces of yarn. We took that activity right up to current day by you-tubing some how-to videos to learn some other tricks.

Also adored fixing her hair for her basketball game.

Won't be celebrating the Cinco de Mayo today...

Got a birthday card in the mail with an Amazon gift card... I'll be shopping later. I have loved this birthday so very much thanks to the wonderful people in my life.

Looking forward to Dancing With The Stars tonight, even though I'm not a fan of Abby from Dance Moms and she's going to be on there as a guest judge.

My cousin's grandbaby is in the hospital... and it's my cousin's birthday. So that's a bummer. The baby is my first cousin, twice removed for those of you who understand that process.

My cousin who is having the really bad headaches got the results from another round of tests and the good news is that they didn't find anything wrong. The bad news is that they still don't know what's causing these really disabling headaches. The good news is that we are Sisters in Suffering and have really bonded through this.

I got a graduation invitation in the mail for my friend Mary's daughter, Natalie who is the valedictorian of her class. I can't think of anyone I've known who was the valedictorian. I'm so proud for Mary - for the whole family. They're the sweetest people I know.

I'm generally in sort of a funk about the whole pain thing and the lack of control it gives me over my life.

But I'm also super, super grateful for how God has provided in this season of waiting.

And this girl... always makes me smile. I also really adore the fuzzy rug she loves to sprawl out on when she's watching My Little Pony. Can I just freeze this age?

Hope your week has started off on a good note. Love and hugs, y'all!

You are experiencing the push-crash cycle . You pushed for your birthday week and now crash. Most people crash after events yet for us the crash is debilitating. I learned to manage pain i must plan my days and keep my activity across them mostly stable. This is a very long process. My doctor had me start with very little activity then gradually increase activity over time. I kept an activity log journal. As I did this I tuned into my body and adjusted my plan to manage pain. For instance, I go only to the grocery in the early afternoon bc I feel the best and can rest a few hours before making dinner for my kids. This was a hard process and forced me to use words I don't like "no" and "I can't." The boundaries have aided me and I can do much more if I manage and plan my time. Plan plan plan is my mantra.

ive been thinking of you/you're pain. the kiddies are in bed so i can write.

I feel what you are going through as a fellow fibro sufferer. this is debilitating emotionally and physically. I began to recognize feeling helpless was was worse then the actual pain. once I embraced a problem solving attitude my life and pain changes. when i took action against the pain no matter how small i felt more in control and could impact the situation positively. do not give up, please. your healthy eating, weight loss and planning your day will make you feel much better. But slowly, over time. Plan-act-impact.

T-Mobile Sidekick

A picture named sidekick.jpgI held a Sidekick last night – happened to pass by a T-Mobile (aka “The cellular company formerly known as Voicestream but now we’ve hired Catherine Zeta-Jones and got rid of Jamie Lee Curtis”) stall at a mall and checked it out.

Initial reaction: great form factor, nice big screen, very functional design. The construction seems very solid, and it definitely has the “wow” factor. It’s a GSM phone – which means I could take it to London with me and keep the number. The screen rotates to cover the keyboard, so when you’re using it as a phone it appears to be a more standard “brick” phone. When using it as a PDA, the screen rotates out, revealing the keyboard. Two menu buttons on the left and a jog dial on the right control menuing functions and assist with navigation.

Initially they have just one calling plan for the device: $40/month gets you 200 minutes, 1000 off-peak minutes, and unlimited Internet access. That’s ideal for the casual user, but they’re going to need to do something for someone like me – I’ll easily do 500+ minutes peak time per month. And I want better international pricing ($.99/minute isn’t bad, but it’s not ideal – I’d gladly up my monthly fee). Regardless, I like that they’re not charging for the browsing functionality.

If you buy now, there’s a $50 mail-in rebate – you can buy the phone for $200 and they’ll throw in the camera adapter so you can take pictures with the phone. It synchs e-mail, has wireless web browsing, and T-Mobile has the only nationwide GPRS system (so you have always on e-mail).

I think I’m in love. Great price point for the device, and seemingly more functional than some of the other multi- function devices. I’ll need to find out more about battery life before making the plunge.

(For those who are wondering, the Sidekick is the device built by formerly super-stealth company Danger, who calls it the Hiptop.)

Google polling

(cross-posted to both my personal blog and my Dean campaign blog)

Howard Dean gave a magnificent speech last night at the DNC Winter Meeting. (You can watch the video yourself – I’ve got a video archive of his speeches here; you can also read some of the post-speech reactions from the press clipping page.)

And if you didn’t really want to believe the pundits, then at least let Google tell the story. My site averaged 15-20 visitors per Saturday for the last month; today, the day after his speech, that more than quadrupled. Page views are up over 600%. The traffic almost all came from Google.

Which raises an awfully interesting question (I’m sure I’m not the first to wonder): how effective is Google as a polling tool? Anyone out there tracking Google queries for political reporting purposes? Let me know.

  1. Does Google have any tools that can be used to poll members of a Google news group.

All I want is a Dining Furniture

As a woman when a family, I would love to have a new dining room furniture not just for the improvement in our house but also to have enough space to eat together with my whole family in the same table. I am really into this kind of style at home, to beautify what is need to be done and to make sure that my family is comfortable while staying at home.

Another reason to enjoy a good meal is not only serving your family a healthy and good food. But also you have to look where you put your food at and like I mentioned a new dining furniture for our dining room is one great way.

I really do hope that Santa is listening right now to grant my wish, as Christmas isn't over yet. All I want for Christmas is a new Dining Furniture.

Are You Still Living With Hip Pain??

By Tosh HospitalsPosted On 26-Jul-2017

Hip replacement is a surgical procedure which involves the surgical removal and replacement of the hip joint with pain or arthritis, with an artificial joint made of metals and plastic components. It is usually done when all other non-surgical treatment options fail to provide pain relief.

The Procedure

Hip replacement surgery procedure can be performed traditionally or by a minimally-invasive technique. The following are the steps of a standard hip replacement surgery:

 * At first local anesthesia will be given to the patient

 * After that the surgeon will remove the ball portion of the joint by cutting the thigh bone.

 * Then the surgeon attaches an artificial joint to the thigh bone using a special material that allows the remaining bone to attach to the new joint.

 * Then the surgeon will prepare the surface of the hip bone by removing the damaged cartilage and attaching the replacement socket part to the hip bone

 * The new ball part of the thigh bone is then inserted into the socket part of the hip and drains the fluid

 * Finally, the surgeon will reattach the muscles and closes the incision.

After the Surgery

After the procedure the patient will be moved to a recovery area for a few hours where a medical staff will monitor the blood pressure, pulse, comfort level, alertness till the anesthesia wears off.

Hip replacement surgeries of standard technique will have an incision of 8 to 10 inch along the side of the hip and that of a minimally invasive technique the size of the incision will be only 2 to 5 inches long.

The other advantages of minimally invasive hip replacement include:

 * The procedure can be performed through small cuts compared to standard hip replacement surgery.

 * Less blood loss

 * Can ease pain following the surgery

 * Shorter hospital stay and time for healing

 * Reduced scar appearance

TOSH Trauma and Orthopedic Specialty Hospital provides advanced orthopedics treatments like Hip Replacement in Chennai with the help of highly experienced orthopedic surgeons at an affordable cost.

At 3pm on the first Tuesday in November, all eyes turn to Flemington Racecourse for the Melbourne Cup. In about three-and-a-half minutes, legends are made, dreams realised and fortunes won and lost as the field of 24 thunders across the finish line. First held in 1861, the 3200-metre race has a prize pool of about $6.2 million, and there’s much more to be made at the bookies.

Australians wager an estimated $400 million on the cup – the world’s richest handicap race – but the blockbuster sporting event is about so much more than horse racing. Indeed, the fillies off the track attract as much attention as those in the starting barriers, and the excitement extends well beyond the manicured lawns and primped rose beds of Flemington.

If you are in Melbourne during the Spring Racing Carnival, prepare to be swept up in the excitement as cup fever grips the city. On cup eve Swanston Street comes alive with thoroughbreds, jockeys, trainers and racing royalty for the annual Melbourne Cup Parade. This is the curtain raiser for race day, which traditionally kicks off with the sound of corks popping for champagne breakfasts across the city.

The Melbourne Cup public holiday

Cup Day is about frocking up and being fabulous, so be sure to to take advantage of Melbourne’s enviable array of designer labels, boutiques and milliners before making your way trackside with more than 100,000 other spectators. Hats and fascinators are de rigueur, or go in costume and make an impression. If you are seriously dressed to impress, ladies, join the the Fashions on the Field for a shot at a $75,000 Lexus and thousands of dollars’ worth of prizes.

If you’re looking to get in the money, have a flutter on the race (few can resist on Cup Day) and nab a spot on the lawn by the track to cheer on your horse. Bring a picnic and beat the queues by self catering (no BYO alcohol), or choose from the tasty morsels on sale. If you want to avoid the worst of the cup crush, reserve a spot in the car park (a cup institution) and enjoy the race atmosphere from your private patch of ground with BYO food and furniture.

The cup is the people’s race, and if you don’t make it to the track (or aren’t lucky enough to be on the guest list in the VIP Birdcage marquee), there are plenty of other ways to enjoy the action away from the turf. Barbecues with family and friends are a Cup Day tradition; grab some gourmet nibbles, a form guide and loose change for a sweep, and you’ve got yourself a party without the pretence. Alternatively head to a restaurant or gastro pub for a lively cup atmosphere or enjoy the big race on the big screen at Federation Square.

If you back a dunce, not to worry; there’s always next year.

Get Great Sound Quality & Portability With Jabra Step Wireless Headsets

Disclosure of Material Connection: I received one or more of the products or services mentioned above for free in the hope that I would mention it on my blog. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255: "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising."

Tied up once again, I digress that while I love the sound quality of decent ear buds, I hate being caught by them every time I move.  I have tried the single ear Bluetooth devices and found them decent for talking on the phone, but music was right out.  The oversized earphones are great for music, but are bulky and cumbersome to be wearing as a full time solution.  Jabra has introduced myself to the solution of this common issue that has plagued my quest in achieving balance between portability and sound quality.

 The Jabra Step Wireless headsets weight only a touch over a half an ounce, yet pack enough power to provide functional usage.  Personally, I use these a lot for work where I communicate on and off the day with my cell phone.  When I am not talking on the phone, I use them to listen to music as I work through my daily tasks.  Jabra states that these will provide up to four hours of talk time, yet with my pair I seem to get a little bit more of usage time prior to requiring charging.

 I have attempted to connect the Jabra Step Wireless headsets to several different devices in attempts to test the connectivity.  Utilizing my cell phone, it synchronized correctly up the first time and without flaw.  It never failed whenever I attempted to reconnect the unpaired devices to my phone.  When I utilized the headset with my notebook, I received mixed results.  I have found that I can utilize them as a listening device with no issues on my Windows 8.1 notebook, but the microphone portion of the Bluetooth would not function correctly.

 Music and phone conversations can be controlled by the headset with buttons housed in the microphone compartment.  The sound quality of the music played was exceptional compared to other Bluetooth devices in the price range of this product.  This could be attributed to the Bluetooth 4.0 standard that provides excellent bandwidth coupled with excellent speakers.  In regards to speaking with individuals, they state that my voice is clear and does not have that speakerphone, or tunnel sound that some devices can have.

Overall, this device is a great quality Bluetooth headset that works great for cell phones and Bluetooth enabled MP3 devices.  Great quality sound, easy connectivity, lightweight, and long lasting battery life was a major benefit of these devices.  You can purchase these headphones at, or locally at most major retail stores.

No More Deaths! #2: Keeping Immigrants Alive

During the college spring break period, as during the summer, college students and other volunteers, mostly in their 20s, live in NMD’s rugged desert “camp,” for a week, or occasionally for 2 or even 3 weeks. They get up before dawn, and fan out across miles of known migrant trails for hours, leaving basic foods and gallon jugs of water at resting places. They use GPS maps updated regularly with information from our NMD volunteers and our sister organizations, Samaritans and Humane Borders.

Occasionally volunteers actually see a group of migrants led by a hired guide (“coyote”) hurrying along the trails. At other times they directly encounter a migrant, usually because s/he has been separated from the group, and needs medical assistance, or is just too sick or exhausted to continue. If the migrant fits that description, we ask if he or she wants us to call the Border Patrol for help, and more often than not, the answer is Yes. Hired coyotes rarely have a relationship with their clients, and generally insist on forging ahead, leaving the injured behind with nothing more than a bottle of water and an vague promise that help is not far away. In the desert, an injured ankle is often a death sentence, and a volunteer who comes upon an injured immigrant is literally fulfilling the mission of No More Deaths.

Other volunteers work in Nogales, Sonora (Mexico) or other border towns, helping deportees with needed supplies or to get in touch with their families. These deportees usually have been stripped of their money, identification, cell phones, prescriptions, and all other possessions before being deported. They are often in need of medical attention because of severe injuries suffered in the desert, or sometimes at the hands of the Border Patrol. Documenting abuse has become an important part of our work along the border.

Jean and I don’t do much of our work in the desert. Those who do that work are either young single volunteers who live in desert or other sites for a week or more, or volunteers who live in Tucson and drive 100+ miles roundtrip to the desert, once a week or more, then spend the rest of the day walking the trails. That is harder for us because of the circumstances of our lives.

5 years ago when we bought our house 20 miles north of downtown Tucson, we didn’t know much about No More Deaths. Now we know that we are 20 miles further from the desert than our fellow volunteers and we drive thousands of extra miles in our 6-8 months here. But the collapse of housing prices makes it difficult to move. So, we do support work.

Much of our work is logistical. Jean has taken on the lead responsibility for feeding the 150+ college students who come to Tucson every year during Spring break to learn about and to participate in NMD’s work. What Jean does, and I support, has given me a new respect for logistics units in the army. It reminds me of Napoleon’s aphorism: “An army marches on its belly!” (Translation: without sufficient good food, not only morale but also effectiveness plummets.)

But the biggest challenge in our schedule is that we are blessed with regular care for our 11-month-old grandson Pedro. Our daughter Barbara is a case manager with Catholic Community Services. We could claim that we have to provide for his care two days a week, but every grandparent knows that would be a lie. If we weren’t fortunate to have Pedro living with us, we would happily be driving across town or across the country for the opportunity to be with him! In future blogs you will inevitably get better acquainted with Pedro.

So we do other support work. We try to attend the Monday night strategy meetings every week, to track the effectiveness of NMD work with the migrants, and to strategize what to do in the highly polarized political environment -- primarily in Tucson and Arizona, but also nationally. We give talks about the situation in Tucson when we are home in Detroit.

And now with this blog, we hope to share with you our perceptions of the
situation here in Arizona – and hope you will share your views with us and oth

DUKE BOOTEE (Buy CDs by this artist)
Bust Me Out (Mercury) 1984

Duke Bootee (Edward Fletcher, in his other life a Newark, NJ schoolteacher) is one of the unsung heroes of rap. As a member of the Sugar Hill label's extraordinary house band, he wrote the tune, "chorus" and half the raps for "The Message." Although that groundbreaking single came out under the name of Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, the raps belong to Bootee and Melle Mel. The two paired up less successfully (and more formulaically) on "Message II" and "New York, New York," before Bootee rediscovered the urban claustrophobia groove on the title track of his solo LP. The album boasts aggressive playing and production from his old Sugar Hill friends, and the rap side (as opposed to the song side) smokes.

MICHAEL GUTHRIE BAND (Buy CDs by this artist)
Direct Hits (Ear) 1981
Banned in America EP (Ear) 1982

Along with brother Herb on drums and bassist Ritchie McNally, singing guitarist/songwriter Michael Guthrie of Charlottesville, Virginia, works up a mighty sweat playing tuneful rockers on these two self-released records. A veteran (but unheralded) trio — which subsequently took the truth-in-advertising name Guitars and Drums — with scads of talent, the basic commodity here is high-octane power pop. Not the wimpy Angloid variety, but full-blooded American rock'n'roll with memorable melodies and catchy choruses.

Direct Hits contains a bunch of great numbers delivered with unpretentious but effective production. Banned in America — seven more originals — is more ambitious if not quite as enthralling. Echoes of early Cheap Trick are evident, and some songs shift away from pop toward more direct rock'n'roll; still, an impressive outing from a band deserving of the fame and fortune confidently hoped for in the leadoff track, "Big Time."

Stanislaw Burzynski, Saver of Lives, Modern Superhero

I've recently watched an incredible documentary detailing the bitter and greedy persecution of Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski. As of this post, that documentary can be viewed here for free.

I highly recommend watching this documentary in order to completely understand the evil and tyranny that has slowed down this very important progress in cancer therapy. It shows the relentlessness of the Texas Medical Board, the Food & Drug Administration, the US Federal Government, and the devious practices of the National Cancer Institute, in protecting the profits of special interests in the cancer therapy "industry".

For his courage, his perseverance, and his medical breakthroughs, I am adding Dr. Burzynski to my list of people who I consider "great". More information on this documentary can be found here. Dr. Burzynski's clinic's website can be found here.

I will also add, if I or any of my loved ones have to go through the ordeal of treating cancer, I will do everything in my power to be treated by Dr. Burzynksi's clinic.

A Networking Perspective on Facebook

News Media Entertainment can be utilized to create some pretty strong backcurrents of support for things that can harm society in many, many ways. Case in point: Facebook.

Facebook is just another website. However, its internal mechanism is designed to expose the private information of billions of users. This marketing data is valuable to the corporate paymasters of the news media entertainment industry. They are, themselves, also a source of revenue to the news media entertainment industry - which is frantic to try to get some sort of 'single sign on' that lets them track and market even more effectively. It's not surprising that news media entertainment loves to report about this company - even though the majority of their supposed innovations are something you usually opt out of.

Facebook, like many other websites - is susceptible to attack. In a healthy and open network - attack is, more or less - a part of life. Sometime's it's intentional - as in the case of someone who wants to delete you (DDOS attack). Sometime's its not - as in the case of malfunctioning equipment that spams you with a packet storm (.1Q misconfigured backplane). But this is hardly newsworthy. Is your site susceptible to attacks? Yes. Do we need an urgent news article on it.. ? No.

It doesn't surprise me that CNN* reports that the hacker group anonymous has now targetted Facebook to crash it . The rationale for this story is not that the hacking group Anonymous are planning to bring down Facebook. Instead, the point is to run a story that says they're going to try . But when it doesn't go down, it stands as a kind of free advertisement for just how "secure" and "safe" you are on Facebook.

These are the kind of games that news media entertainment can play. They can run stories that seemingly inform, and have the public's best interest at stake - but that are so loosely researched and so closely tied to the interests of their major advertisers - that ultimately - the only point of view that survives is that of a corporation.

Anonymous isn't going to hit Facebook. They're going to hit fascist dictators and corrupt government websites. They just finished hacking the Syrian Government's website. They'll do the important targets first. Facebook is a small fish that , for some reason, everyone keeps hearing about. It's just another website. It's up to you to ignore Facebook. Trust me. It's an easy thing to do.

From a Networking standpoint, it's possible -but a longshot. Anonymous doesn't use their Distributed, Denial of Service attack unless it's really needed. It's much more elegant to hack into root. And to be honest, they're just not going to target or hit Facebook. It's just not happening. They've got better things to do.

It is, however, my opinion as a networking professional that it is completely absurd that CNN would say that Anonymous is a 'successor to Wikileaks'. That's like saying a German Shepherd is a successor to a Newspaper Editor.

* not synonymous with news media entertainment, but nevertheless caught up in the tangled web of the 24 hour news cycle.

In-frame Kitchens – Timeless Traditional Kitchens

What makes in-frame kitchens different from classic types of kitchens, is that the door frame is attached to the front of the kitchen carcass & the kitchen door sits and opens within the frame. As the door sits in the frame, it will not drop over time as it has no where to go.

In-frame kitchen design carries a certain amount of traditional, timeless appeal & quality.
