South Africa Memories

There are countless memories waiting to be made. It is a land blessed by nature in the beautiful and enchanting country of South Africa. Tranquil hills, tow-colored beaches that dawdle effortlessly onward the mountainous coast, the most vivid green grass and flora which expands hundreds of miles, continuously running rivers, plump bushland and vast number of wild and free animals, like varied species of Zebras, Wild Boars, antelopes, Wildebeests, the fearful and scarce Leopard, massive herds of heavily tusked Elephants and multitudinous prides of Lion.

I unfussily fell in love with it in its totality after I have traveled this incredible planet for over thirty years and after six months of traveling around and filming this unforgettable country. There are unending adventures and visual stimulations  In the huge city of Johannesburg, that’s in and out of the city. Our company funded my travel together with my son to discover the rarely seen side of South Africa with adventure being our main topic, we set out to do just that during our tour in late 2003 and early 2004.

We had the benefit of discovering a local business that specializes in providing tours to their customers’ needs and wants and with our demands, they tenaciously had their hands full during our first few weeks of being in Johannesburg. We longed for action and with this company, we got everything and more than we were engrossed in the land, the bush, the animals and having awareness of that would do more than be just a few visits to a museum.

The tour company was run by Shelly and her brother Grant and add a very immediate touch to their company and with their several years of arranging tours, they are pivotal and fundamental part of the company with a hands-on approach. The brother and sister tandem accompany you and lead you through the best this land can offer as they do not simply forward you to others.

Relaxing In Mexico

Mexico City is full of life, bewitching city that indulges travelers with endless food, culture, dance, epic history, architecture and more, though some may suggest differently. The capital does provide some sites it’d be a sin to miss on a stop-through although this megacity is a stretch to cover in a week. 24 hours covers barely a sliver of what the city has to offer ready yourself to pull an all-nighter.

Relax into the day at a cafebrería

A self-described cafebrería or café-bookstore is the El Péndulo. This establishment can be found around town, and each location provides warm lighting, eclectic decorations, and an open floor plan. Take inner pleasure and enjoy the scent of new books blending with a good serving of chilaquiles and a glass of guanábana juice. Polanco branch is a must visit and dine which was declared one of the most beautiful bookstores in the world by British newspaper The Guardian.

Explore Frida Kahlo’s Casa Azul

One of the oldest neighborhoods in the city, Coyoacán is where you can find Frida Kahlo’s house that was transformed into a museum four years after her death. Soaked in saturated colors, heightening the intense vibe of Museo Frida Kahlo. Guided tours will narrate Kahlo’s early as well as most famous works, the workspace she and Diego Rivera shared and more. Thereafter,  the patio is a good spot to enjoy a drink and buy some books or prints from the gift shop.

A Rich History at Zócalo

Mexico City’s main square is Zócalo and was utilized as the religious center for the Aztecs. To pave the adjacent square, now ringed by buildings occupied by the city government, the Palacio Nacional and the Catedral Metropolitan, Hernán Cortés had the Aztecs’ Templo Mayor demolished. An intimate display of the city’s rich history can be noted by the ongoing excavation of the Templo Mayor and the museum next-door.

Take a Breather at Chapultepec Park

Catch a mini-stop to 1,600-acre Chapultepec Park. The park is divided into three sections but adheres to the city’s main drag the first section off Paseo de la Reforma. The first section consists of several museums, forests, lakes, botanical gardens, and a zoo. Housed in a former imperial palace that presents panoramic views of the city is The Museo Nacional de Historí, but it’s the world-class Museo Nacional de Antropología that really stands out. Better plan accordingly because the vast number of exhibitions and collections would be a chore to cover over a few days.

Grand meal in fashionable La Condesa

The district to see and be seen is La Condesa. This stylish neighborhood is the whole deal for an artistic flourish as it is heaven for foodies, and streets named after famous writers. Check out Azul and immerse in the busy atmosphere on the balcony with each guest chef changes the menu.

Spectacular Chile

Widely known more for its history than its present – Chile – a country of music, fashion scene and blossoming art, reigned by the politically active younger set breathes new life into Santiago and the country at large. Travelers can effortlessly entertain themselves for much more than just 24 hours in the temperate capital aside from the country’s spectacular natural beauty. It’s more than possible to face the vibrant scene, by concentrating on a few central neighborhoods, a close link to the past and local delicacies that make up Santiago.

Having breakfast is a casual affair and is a substantial way people view from the local cafes. Try sopaipilla, a pastry made of deep-fried pumpkin dough, or a calzone roto, which is best described as a fried cookie, paired with a cappuccino, for those people with a sweet tooth will truly enjoy. Check out omnipresent soda fountain Dominó and buy a ham, avocado and cheese sandwich and a raspberry juice for a super-local start.

Arrange a visit on one of the museums that abound in the area after a swift walk through the Metropolitan Cathedral and Plaza de Armas. One of which, Museo de Arte Precolombino has a grand collection of Pre-Colombian art from all over Latin America. Museo Histórico Nacional begins with the Pre-Colombian era and the finale is with perturbing display of Salvador Allende’s broken glasses. Featured works by Pablo Picasso and Joan Miró by Museo de la Solidaridad Salvador Allende in a grand townhouse that was utilized as a listening station during the dictatorship. Before heading to lunch, don’t forget to take some pictures in front of presidential palace La Moneda.

At Mercado Central, seafood lovers will be overwhelmed by the endless choices, this is Santiago’s main fish and seafood market. From the fish stalls and dine on Camarones al pil-pil, paila marina, simple grilled salmon and way more,  you can choose one of the smaller restaurants across. You can also pick up an empanada or two to go for onces or afternoon tea. The seafood versions, especially jaiba (crab) and machas (razor clams) and cheese are fantastic but there’s always the traditional empanada that contains ground beef and onion.

An uncomplicated jump-off to the Atacama Desert to the north, Patagonia to the south or to Easter Island 2000 miles west in the Pacific the reason the capital has the ideal location. Within reach, there’s an easy bus trip away like the pottery village of Pomaire, the hills, and colors of coastal Valparaíso and the nature of Cajón del Maipo.

Why Visit Nashville?

If you’ve never been to Nashville, then it’s time to pack your bags and go there now. Home to country music, Nashville is one of the best cities in the United States. Runners will enjoy the rocky trails, and the adventurers will love the water-side sceneries.

Nashville is not just for country music fans, it’s for anyone who has a penchant for the outdoors, good food, and yes, great music. There are a number of new restaurants and bars to visit. Most of them offer patio seating, so diners can admire and appreciate the cool breeze outside. This music city has so many concerts and shows running all year round. Don’t forget to try going to one to experience what it’s like living in Nashville.

One of the best things in this city is the food. The traditional farm to table setting is a must try. This has become a trend and most people who come here enjoy the goodness of this food scene. Culinary dens in Tennessee that offer this are applauded because of the amazing flavors bursting in what they serve.

The cost of living in Nashville is lower than other cities like New York, and Los Angeles. That’s just another thing that makes this city much more appealing.

If you love arts, then Nashville is definitely the city to visit. You will get your dose of stunning exhibits for visual arts, and you can even enjoy ballet, and broadway plays on top of the country music shows.

There are many museums to visit too, like the Johnny Cash Museum, and of course, the very popular and well-loved Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.

If these are not enough to convince you to head over to Nashville for the weekend, then maybe you should know that the locals are one of the nicest and friendliest people you’ll ever meet.

Exploring Canada

A slight number of tourists leave Banff, AB not being able to visit the peak of the Sulphur Mountain. The summit is about 700 meters and it allows a stretching view of the city of Banff, also the marvelous Banff Springs Hotel – one of the top hotels in Banff – and the neighboring mountains.

A number of tourists opt to purchase passes to ride the Sulphur Mountain gondola, that advances them to the summit within ten minutes. Some who are more adventurous prefer to push their muscles to the limits, and hike boldly up to the mountain.

The hike to the peak of the Sulphur Mountain is a bit challenging but suitable for people who long to capture the Canadian wilderness. The trail to this mountain has a wide and well-managed trail that drifts through the deep forest and shows a glance of the scenery that is waiting on the summit.

What starts at the Upper Hot Springs parking lot is the South East Ridge Trail, known as the main trail to the peak of the Sulphur Mountain. The trail is broad and covered at the base of the mountain and is flat to some extent. It covers the same path as the gondola, as the trail crawls up the mountains, it becomes even more sheer. The part just before the top is the steepest part of the climb. The Upper Summit Gondola Terminal marks the end of the trail. From this terminal, it is possible to reach the Sanson Peak.

There is a restaurant in the summit that serves as a resting place after a long hike, which could take anywhere from two to five hours depending on your hiking speed. It is also a perfect place to relax and recharge before going down the mountain. There is an option to hike back down to the base which takes a few hours, or just take the gondola for a short trip back to your vehicle.

Climbing the Sulphur Mountain is a perfect way to enjoy the Canadian Rockies.

Discovering Santorini, the Ultimate Island Escape

Santorini is getting more popular and is becoming a wedding destination for most people who long to experience the ultimate romantic getaway. The long stretch of beaches, the crystal blue waters and the ever beautiful sunset give the place a tranquil ambience.

The island is also a culinary paradise. People come to Santorini to enjoy the gastronomic experience and exceptional wine. Imagine a place that offers the best food and wine, and so much more.

Santorini is everyone’s ultimate dream island escape. Imagine basking in the sun’s exquisite rays while lying on the pristine sands and listening to the sound of the crashing waves. Add some cocktails come sunset time and you’ve got yourself the best island experience ever!

Artist: The Barmitzvah Brothers, Album: Let's Express Our Motives: An Album Of Under-Appreciated Job Songs, Song: Trailblazer

The Barmitzvah Brothers are an alternative band from Guelph, Ontario.  They are neither brothers nor Jewish.  Two of the three founding members are actually female.  They formed in the year 2000 and released their first album in 2001.  Let's Express Our Motives...., is their most recent release from 2007.  It was produced by Andrew Magoffin of the band, The Two Minute Miracles (see blog 12/19/10).  Their music has always been very eclectic and very hard to categorize.  It can range from folk to pop to even klezmer.  The song, Trailblazer, really shows off the band's ability to craft a song that is strangely familiar yet so unique.  It has a nice pop sensibility to it.  The band appears to be on hiatus at the moment.  Although some of the members are playing with other artists like The Burning Hell and Jenny Omnichord (alias of band member Jenny Mitchell).  You can keep an ear to the ground for anything new at  You can purchase their album, Let's Express Our Motives...., on Itunes.  You can hear the song, Trailblazer, on You Tube (  Thanks for reading and enjoy!

Greg the Leg is back! 55 Observations from Preseason Week 1

The level of competition can be pooh-poohed all you want, but 55 yards is still 55 yards and they don't make the goalposts wider in the preseason. Want to hang your hat on something concrete from tonight's 27-19 scrimmage versus the Cleveland Browns? Greg Zuerlein's well-rested leg is back in the business of making jaw-dropping kicks look easy.

In honor of his two field goals (from 54 and 55 yards), here are 55 quick observations from tonight's game.

1. Watch Sam Bradford's feet. With actual time in the pocket, he looks calm and composed, and more capable of firing NFL-caliber passes. Case in point: the 20-yard sideline out to Chris Givens against the Browns' first-team defense. Fantastic throw.

2. Jake Long, at this point, looks like a steal for the money the Rams are paying him.

3. The man he moved, Rodger Saffold, is about as snakebit a player as I can remember, outside of Danario Alexander. Two plays was all it took for Saffold to be exposed at right tackle. It was an unlucky injury that started with being caught out of position.

4. X-rays are reportedly negative for Saffold, which is good. Boudreau has a project on his hands in converting him from the left side to the right. He needs every rep.

5. The man who replaced Saffold, Joseph Barksdale, had a quiet night protecting Bradford's front side. That's a good thing for an O-lineman. He had his name called a couple of times in the second half after moving to left tackle. That's not so good. Hopefully he won't be needed there.

Incompletion #1: Daryl flashes skillet hands.

Incompletion #2: Pettis gets called out by Torry for not coming back to the ball aggressively enough.

Incompletion #3: Tavon Austin gets blatantly interfered with, but no flag. (GIFs by @squick3n)

6. Bradford's night could have been perfect. As it was, he finished 5-8 for 102 yards and a TD. Each of his three incompletions hit a receiver in the hands, and could / should have been caught. More importantly, zero sacks.

7. Fantasy folks take note: Chris Givens is the Rams' #1 receiver. That is all.

8. If hands become a difference-maker in WR positioning, then I could easily see Stedman Bailey leapfrog Austin Pettis for playing time. Bailey had to extend to make a pair of out-of-frame catches, snaring balls out of the air like a frog catching flies.

9. It has to help Bailey's case to have a luminary like Torry Holt publicly call him out as being the closest thing on the roster to Holt's mirror image. This after Holt spent time with the receivers all week.

10. One more Stedman Bailey note. He apparenly was playing gunner on kickoffs, and registered a half-tackle in the second quarter. That's going the extra mile.

11. The Rams had rotations at two positions on offense: RB and LG. Daryl Richardson clearly won the first of those, cementing his status as the #1 runner.

12. Shelley Smith vs Chris Williams at guard is harder to call without tape, but it's worth noting that Williams was on the field for Bradford's lone touchdown drive.

13. Getting back to the running backs, Isaiah Pead may be one straw away from breaking the camel's back. Putting the ball on the ground on his first carry of the night makes a strong, and sour, impression.

14. Coach Fisher and Schottenheimer reaffirmed their commitment to Pead, for the evening at least, by feeding him heavily on the next drive. They have stood fast by him this preseason, even after his embarrassing offseason remarks, but it's easy to make room for a guy and his baggage when you have an inflated roster. The next two weeks will be key.

15. Fans clamoring for a Tavon Austin show left disappointed. He got one target, and was well-covered. (I didn't know that was possible.) His one punt return was scuttled by a pooched kick.

16. On defense, the Rams generated very little push against a very good Cleveland Browns line. Brandon Weeden was mighty comfortable, and Norv Turner helped him out with quarterback-friendly quick passes and delay draws.

17. Robert Quinn kept trying to bull-rush Joe Thomas. Thomas ate him up like a stack of pancakes.

18. Perhaps more surprising, Michael Brockers got stoned one-on-one by his man, though he did get a hand up to bat down a Weeden throw. Our D-line got a major-league test, and didn't grade out well.

19. For the most part, the opposing offense keyed on the Rams' defensive interior, rather than challenge our cornerbacks. That should become a familiar sight, the way this team is constructed.

20. This means that Alec Ogletree and TJ McDonald need to clean up their tackling, particularly when filling run gaps. Dion Lewis ran by both players – juking McDonald out of his shoes – on a 3rd down draw play.

21. There are no panic buttons being pushed here, except maybe on Pead. McDonald led the team in tackles with five (four unassisted), and Ogletree had two or three of his own in limited work. But more of those plays have to become successful if this defense is going to get off the field.

22. Cortland Finnegan is a veteran that Fisher needs to keep fresh. He was all over the field tonight, but he appeared to wear down last season after a hot start. It will be tough because the team – and maybe his coach – feeds off his energy.

Second Teamers

23. In second team work, I heard the names of twin towers Mason Brodine and Matt Conrath a lot. Both stand at 6'7", and add intriguing size to the DL rotation.

24. Also making a name for himself in second-team work, undrafted safety Cody Davis has a little Craig Dahl in him. He's good enough to be always around the ball, but right now he's a liability in coverage. He'll likely make the team as a reserve with pure hitting ability, but this is something to watch. Hope he can be coached up.

25. That said on Davis…

26. Unofficially, Brian Quick was the most-targeted receiver on the field, until the fourth quarter when the game became the Kellen Clemens-Raymond Radway show. Quick had three catches on five targets, though one was erased by a holding call on Shelley Smith.

27. The good for Quick: two of his three unofficial catches would have gone for first downs.

28. The bad: on his other catch, he allowed himself to be dragged down half a yard short of the first down stripe on a key third down play. (This field position did set up Zuerlein for his first kick.) Quick needs to turn up the volume on his inner Al Pacino, urging him to fight for every inch on the field.

29. Austin Davis got an extended look as the 2nd string quarterback, and was the guy most-often feeding Quick and Bailey. The coaching staff clearly wants him to take the reins as backup. Early returns? He hasn't locked the job down yet.

30. Throughout camp, Davis has appeared to be far too ready to make plays with his feet. It appears to be affecting his pocket play, even if he isn't thinking run right away. He needs to settle into his pocket and make his reads. If the Rams had wanted a young running QB behind Bradford, they could have kept Thaddeus Lewis.

31. Zac Stacy also got an extended look, piling up more snaps, carries and targets than Daryl Richardon or Isaiah Pead.

32. However, for a guy who is supposed to excel in making quick decisions, Stacy looked very indecisive. Several times, he took the ball at the mesh point, and came to a full stop. His first three carries totaled four yards.

33. Stacy as a runner is supposed to benefit from zone blocking in front of him, so the scavenged parts that make up a 2nd-team offensive line may not have been doing him many favors.

Third Teamers

34. Terrence Ganaway was a surprising late scratch. Though not that surprising, if the coaching staff wanted to give Benny Cunningham some late work. Cunningham had one of the most impressive runs of the night, a bull rush through contact for 8 hard yards. Would have made Steven Jackson proud.

35. If Ganaway's tenure on this team is as tenuous as it seems, his former employers in New York might be very interested in bringing him back. The Jets' backfield is a hot mess.

36. Kellen Clemens made the game interesting in his mop-up time, pulling up on the world's slowest scramble to find Raymond Radway for a 53-yard scamper into the end zone. It was a pitch and catch worthy of the sandlot, or a Thanksgiving-day family game.

37. Clemens made a far better throw to Radway down the left sideline, arcing the ball over the 6'4" receiver's outside shoulder forty yards down the field. A catch would have been a touchdown, but Radway couldn't close his hands on the ball.

38. If the Rams keep six receivers, Radway is likely trying to fend off Andrew Helmick and newly-signed Justin Vertlung for the spot.

39. Another player that impressed in Clemens-time was the undrafted TE from Auburn, Philip Lutzenkirchen. He made one of the best catches of the game, a toe-tapper along the sideline that was reviewed and upheld.

40. A catch in football gets more legal review than most contracts these days, and a catch like this is only a catch if there is no wiggle in the ball after it hits the receiver's hands. Lutzenkirchen passed the NFL hands test. That's a very good sign for a player on the bubble.

41. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. I'm sure third string right tackle Sean Hooey has a wonderful personality.

Spotlight on Chris Givens

Matt Sullivan / Getty Images

42. Chris Givens got his three catches on three different types of routes, each one impressive in its own right. The second-year player is becoming well-rounded, and therefore a very dangerous man. His play is also injecting Bradford with the confidence to make big-play throws.

43. Catch #1: Givens ran an out route and Bradford stepped up on third down and put it over the top to his receiver at the sideline, 20 yards downfield. This is an NFL-caliber throw,

44. Catch #2: His go route ability we already know about, but it is heartening to see Sam be able to move his pocket and judge Givens' downfield range perfectly so early. That speaks to the offseason work the two have put in.

45. Catch #3: Givens benefits from a beautiful play call more than anything special he does in the route. Schottenheimer motions Daryl Richardson up into a bunch formation with Givens and Mike McNeill. Both Richardson and McNeill drag across the formation after the snap, taking two defenders with them and clearing a throwing lane for Bradford. All Givens does is drift to the back of the end zone like a ghost, and the Browns defense forgets about him. Still, Bradford has to make a good throw over the top of the linebacker spying him.

Rookie Report

46. Tavon Austin: the best is yet to come.

47. Alec Ogletree: A trial by fire, best summarized by his new boss.

48. TJ McDonald: Is going to see replays of his missed tackle on Dion Lewis many, many times. Welcome to the NFL.

49. Stedman Bailey: Best hands on the team. Some of the best hands on any team. This kid has staying power.

50. Barrett Jones: Apparently got some work as center on the third team. A step in the right direction.

51. Zac Stacy: Started slow, but finished well. Would love to see him establish himself as the "closer" in the running back bullpen.

Leftover Observations

52. Rodney McLeod led the team in special teams tackles last year, and continues to be an instinctive thumper. Quietly a very valuable asset.

53. Browns rookie Barkevious Mingo looks like the real deal, which makes a successful block on him all the more impressive. TE Cory Harkey, lined up as an H-back, had to take Mingo on in space to set up Bradford's bomb to Givens. Harkey won that battle, and can be a real contributor as a blocking TE.

The Nice Section

This is something Bernie Miklasz used to do in his Saturday Bernie Bytes columns. I actually have something nice to say, so I'm going to appropriate it for the moment.

54. Congratulations to RamsHerd writer Brennan Smith, who got his first paying journalism job at the Salt Lake City Tribune. You have to be a rising talent to swim against the tide that is working against print media these days. We've been lucky to have him writing here for us.

55. Congratulations also to RamsHerd writer Tim Shields, who took a step up the Division III coaching ranks by taking a position at his alma mater, Illinois College in Jacksonville. His knowledge of line play and play design has led to some very insightful football conversations and content here.

The lunatics corner

Darling I can only hate you,
No longer know why
Is it because I'm high?
Well I could forgive you, but
I don't even want to try
Honestly... I would love to
see you cry
By the way, you can kiss my
ass goodbye! ( ah ah )

I may be a lunatic,
a complete freak
But at least I'm not
a piece of shit
Worthless bags of meat
I'll destroy your castles brick
by freaking brick
Come on now! Trick or treat?
Can't hide, this is it
I'm throwing a fit
Isn't that what they used to say?
Make up your mind, do you need
me to stay?

I don't understand
tell me friend...
if you pray for the truth
why do you beg me to lie?
And if you want me to go
why can't you say goodbye?
We're building this walls back up
We're locked inside
It was fun wasn't it,
did you enjoy the ride?
It's time to get the fuck off,
I just want to go home
Don't you dare to come near me!
I prefer to be alone
Spare me of your company
for so misery
doesn't need it anymore
Just leave! What are you waiting for?
I can't do this now, no,
not today
I just want to have some peace
is that okay?

God damn it, forgot the script
I'll have to improvise this shit
But well, once it concerns you, I don't like it one bit
All this nonsense got me losing sleep
Yes we know, I'm the damn black sheep
I'm a monster, the one you all created
Yes I was born to be hated,
Madness is that place I like to
call home
Where you are never alone...
No room for you,
it's sold out
Come on leave, don't make me shout!
Beg for your life leech
Come on, let us hear that speech
You are the worst of your kind!
Me? I'm just out of my god damn mind!
They're the lucky ones, lost in their happiness
I try to act normal, put on a nice dress
But I can't hide who I am, a complete mess
I'm going, I'm going, do not stress
But you are still a coward, nevertheless...

I was playing around to compiling java files at runtime using Compiler API as a result of JSR 199.  I used source at Compile Java Files At Runtime. From the source "ToolProvider.getSystemJavaCompiler()" at line 28 was returning null. Posting here so it might help someone else facing same issue in future.

I was getting java.lang.NullPointerException so I did "System.out.println(System.getProperty("java.home"));" and noticed my eclipse was pointing "C:\Program Files\Java\jre7" even after I changed my preferences to use JDK1.7 in place of JRE1.7. This error accors if java development envrionment points to JRE instead of JDK as it is menioned in a bug report at link:

I found a work around by forcing to use JDK1.7 by setting system property like this: "System.setProperty("java.home", "C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jdk1.7.0_02");"

Then I compiled my program and did not get any NullPointerException.

Comments on: If the Gloves Come Off, We Might See the Irony of Rheumatoid Disease Information & encouragement to fight RA Sat, 10 Feb 2018 21:52:57 +0000 hourly 1 By: Celia Thu, 26 Jan 2017 21:06:29 +0000 I think having RA and other auto immune diseases (so called invisible) is what makes us stoic. By the time we have a correct diagnosis we have pretty much been questioned up the wazoo, and made to feel like it may be exaggerated pain and that these strange seemingly random symptoms don’t fit their text books. I like many others don’t like to make a fuss. Maybe cos it’s just not worth using the little energy I have. I’m tired of being told that…” not typical of RA ” then see others with RA have same problems/ symptoms. I’m a number and they have boxes to tick. No time to have a real conversation and even less of a chance to be taken seriously or understood. So yes we say we are fine, it’s just easier.

By: Diana Franklin Thu, 05 Jan 2017 02:55:57 +0000 Thank you so much for validating my RA life as it is today.
I wish my loved ones had the patience to read the whole page so they could really understand me and what I go through.
I pray for your peace and freedom from your pain. Regards, Diana

By: Kelly Young Thu, 26 Nov 2015 13:58:17 +0000 Amen. Thousands of stories like yours have left me asking the same questions. We need to see changes in rheumatology training.

By: T. Waier Thu, 26 Nov 2015 09:21:51 +0000 You are so right. I have seroneg RA. It took 4 board certified rheumatology physicians and 20 years for it to be diagnosed. My first dr said “Have you ever heard of the “F” word.? ” I had no clue what he flippantly asked. Tag, fibromyalgia, ignoring elevated CRP, sed rate!, crunchy joints, profound fatigue, etc. Second one was no better.. Third one had us waiting in harshly uncomfortable waiting rooms for 3- 3 1/2 hours to be seen. I tactfully brought it up to dr # 3, who said “I am very thorough and give each patient as much time as they need.” Apparently that was not enough, because she failed to diagnose my disease, told me that she had nothing to offer me and referred me to a pain clinic. My fourth dr did not believe either until I took pictures of my hands in the morning and he then did an MRI of my hands. Abba cadabra, you have RA! How can board certified physicians not pay attention to legit patients? Are they not taught that up to 30% of RA patients are seroneg? Called my dr today to see if I can get shingles shot as I am off drugs after having healing issues post surgery. Asked how long I should wait after shot to start drugs ( pred/ MTX ). And to clarify whether pred or methylprednisolone as that is what I had been on before. HA! He wanted me to come in for another appt just to answer these. I was not scheduled to go again till back on meds for 8 weeks. I am soooooooooooo frustrated!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am a RN and though rheumatology is not my specialty, I feel certain I could diagnose better than all four of them combined. I have never been so poorly treated by other specialties. Abominable! Alll I and all of us want is to be listened to and cared for. Is that too much to ask?

By: ann b wall Tue, 14 Apr 2015 01:45:11 +0000 I’m sorry for what you are going through. I’m lucky my blood is drawn at my rheumatologists office and my nurse and his medical techs are great at iv’s and blood drawing. i don’t have a primary. I hope you will have some care from professionals that are “PRESENT” I wait for my rheumatologist sometimes for hours but i know that if i need him he will see me right away. too bad i can’t get any other doc like him. I fired a doctor today ,her office is terribly inefficient and she doesn’t understand. I know this disease has taken a lot of me but not many people understand. i’m deeply disappointed in people’s lack of empathy ,i hope i can learn from this and I thank you for sharing

By: Terri strug Thu, 30 Jan 2014 03:45:42 +0000 I understand the loneliness. I am divorced. My 3 children are grown. I was a college professor when I became very sick. I loved my work, but had to retire because of RA. I am social, but cannot honor all commitments because of RA related problems that land me, often, in the hospital. I have a dog that I walk. My children live far away in different states. My mother is in assisted living. I dated someone for 3 yrs. who said — as he broke up with me– “your illness is a turn off.” Here is another irony: my ex-husband was an orthopedic surgeon. I lived with what Kelly wrote about in her gloves off blog– at home — and now I live with it at MD offices.
I have been fortunate with a Rheumatologist who is compassionate. I am with a new GP who is– well, new. I wish “working together” were possible with MDs and patients. we are not all the same. I wish people, generally, knew what RD is. My acquaintances never see me unless I am feeling well enough to go out, and I cancel stuff often because of RD issues. At least Kelly has people around her at home!
I have no answers, just empathy. We must stand together, somehow, and stop minimizing this disease.

By: Rosemary English Tue, 13 Aug 2013 11:54:37 +0000 I love this story. I think we should all take the gloves off. Oh the joy of having an “invisible” illness.

By: Loretta Tweed Tue, 09 Apr 2013 03:03:47 +0000 This Post brought tears to my eyes and I just cried, bawled like a baby.

By: Nancy Mac Mon, 08 Apr 2013 12:36:17 +0000 Wow….up and reading Kelly’s email this morning and I loved the title “If the Gloves Come Off…..” It made me want to cry. We are so terribly “misunderstood,” “misdiagnosed.” “mistreated,” “misaccommodated.” (the list could go on)
Thank you, Kelly, for putting it into words so beautifully.
I have a wonderful GP. She gets RA for the most part, understands that subsequent testing is important. She gives me my immunizations (doesn’t ask what I need….insists on “You need….”) She just ordered an ultrasound of my carotid artery and abdomen because she understands the impact of RA on our organs. She does my blood work concerning minerals and vitamins and always has great recommendations.
I have been seeing my Rheumatologist for almost 2 years, since I was first diagnosed. He is ok but I can see it in his face that he is baffled by the disease. He always has a line of drug reps in his office with their “goodies” for the staff….Starbucks coffee, cookies, muffins, lunch. I once commented to the doc that the drug reps should be catering to the patients – convincing US to take the drugs because they are good, successful in treating people like me, not because their lunch delivery got them in to see the doc. The other side of the coin is that the rheumy needs to know about the latest drugs and treatments so he can help me. Another double edge sword.
Five weeks ago when I was at the rheumy we were talking about various symptoms and I asked, “Have you ever heard of the online website RA Warrior?” and the rheumy responded, “No. Did they come up with a cure for RA?”
I left the gloves on or it would have knocked him out. I bit my tongue – hard.
His words have haunted since and bothered me enough to seek out a new RA doc. I see the old rheumy this coming Wednesday and a new one on Friday. I carry my planner with me always…containing my treatment plan, how I feel each day, side effects, and always my questions. It is so important for me to have my questions written down; I check them off in the doctor’s office as we visit each one.
Suggestions from my online RA family (you) for my visit with the new doc are welcomed!
And, Kelly, thank you…for what you do, all of it, everything.

By: Jennifer W-M Tue, 29 Jan 2013 15:58:27 +0000 I have recently been diagnosed with rheumatoid disease after years of symptoms. I like many of you am “atypical” no visible swelling etc. It is terrifying, to speak what you write out loud; somehow it makes it (RA) too real. I do choose to use some level of denial so that the enemy (RA) knows I will not give up my life so easily. I have been an RN for 34 years and it breaks my heart to hear and experience the callous treatment by some health care professionals as we interact with the health care system. Thank you Kelly for your honesty and courage.

Leaks and corruption

After I finally managed to write last week’s report (have you ever tried to write something, and the words wouldn’t come out at all?), I continued looking at those nasty menu leaks.

In an attempt to make the task simpler, I started looking for software with the ability to detect USER handle leaks. I checked the free (libre) alternatives first, but after not much luck I moved on to free (beer) software, and to fully commercial and proprietary software, when I finally found Deleaker.

Deleaker is a small program that hooks into an executable (lets you choose which DLLs to include in the hooking), and tracks 4 types of resources: memory allocations, Kernel handles, USER handles, and GDI handles.

In Windows, the experience was flawless. I chose for it to track USER leaks, ran filebrowser.exe, terminated it after a few navigations, and then it gathered the data and told me exactly which functions were leaking.

The result was a big clue: all the leaking menus were coming exactly from the same call to one specific function: Shell_MergeMenus. While it’s perfectly possible that this function is bugged in ReactOS, I was running the code in Windows, so the easier explanation was that no one was calling DestroyMenu on the menubar menu. So after deciding on the best place to destroy the menu, I coded the call and re-ran the tests, and in Windows the navigation leaks had gone from 20 each, down to 1 or 2! And I wasn’t even sure if those were actually leaking! I quickly went to try this in ReactOS, but it turns out Deleaker isn’t able to install correctly, so I don’t know if it would have worked at all. I did measure the number of handles though, and noticed that instead of growing by 60 it now just grows by 20, which is still bad, but a reasonable improvement.

While I was bashing my head against a wall before, I had started looking into why the filebrowser process doesn’t want to die when the window closes. I noticed that other threads remain active, which causes the process to keep living. Those threads seemed to point to shell extensions, which made me start thinking of how bad we are at releasing everything. So I went to add some debug code to track the refcounts of the COM objects when window is closed, and I noticed we didn’t even try to cleanup at all! The whole filebrowser class was left hanging there for eternity, with all the child components also hanging from it. That’s bad.

I added code to destroy the objects, and to track how many other references were keeping them alive, and when preparing other related classes similarly, I realized just how poorly our shell classes handle the whole cleanup code flow. A lot of the explorer-related classes had (and many still do) circular references, where one object keeps another alive, and this other object also keeps the first alive. In many cases, none of the involved objects made any effort to handle the close/destroy cases, with the necessary functions unimplemented. I tried to fix some of them, but others resisted me. I moved back into the leaks world when Amine messaged me saying he had been trying to help find leaks in the shell, but running the filebrowser in Windows always crashed for him.

Over the weekend, we painstakingly tracked the issue to a mismatch in calling convention to an exported function which was corrupting the stack pointer, and causing functions to overwrite a stack variable that shouldn’t have changed at all. This did fix the issue for Amine, but then he got another crash, that I haven’t been able to reproduce and may or may not be fixed by using VS2010 SP1 instead of the original 2010. I decided to install the original 2010 in a virtual machine, which I’ll use to compare the generated code and see if I find the culprit.

Since there are no visual changes to show, I decided to take a few screenshots of how Deleaker looks like:

Image Image

The shell32.dll!Ordinal681 function is Shell_MergeMenus. This one menu leak may or may not be related to the issues with cleaning up when the window closes, so I can't blame it on it being an actual leak.

The Christmas Joy Ride by Melody Carlson

Title: The Christmas Joy Ride
Author: Melody Carlson
Publisher: Revell
Published Date: September 1st 2015
Genre: Christian, Holiday, Christmas, Adult
Page Count: 176
Format: Kindle
My Rating: ★ ★ ★ ★

Goodreads Summary:
Miranda did not put adventure on her Christmas list, but thanks to her eighty-five-year-old neighbor Joy, that's exactly what she's getting this year. When Joy tells Miranda that she plans to drive an old RV decked out in Christmas decorations from their Chicago neighborhood to her new retirement digs in Phoenix--in the dead of winter, no less--the much younger Miranda insists that Joy cannot make such a trip by herself. Besides, a crazy trip with Joy would be more interesting than another Christmas home alone. Unemployed and facing foreclosure, Miranda feels she has nothing to lose by packing a bag and heading off to Route 66. But Joy has a hidden agenda for their Christmas joyride--and a hidden problem that could derail the whole venture.

 My Review:

"I'm going on a mission, Miranda. I'm going out to spread some Christmas Joy along Route 66. And no one is going to stop me."

 It has been a long time since I have read anything by Melody Carlson. She used to be one of my favorite authors and  it is safe to say she is still one of my favorite now.

Following Joy and Miranda on this cross-country journey spreading Christmas cheer was an amazing road trip adventure.

With Miranda having recently gotten divorced and dealing with financial troubles she is not feeling very cheerful or Christmassy, which is a huge difference compared to her neighbor and good friend Joy who absolutely loves Christmas and wants to spread it to everyone she can. When Joy ends up deciding to move cross-country to live closer to her children she decides to hold a contest on her Christmas blog giving away her decorations to those in need. Once she chooses the six winners she decides to go deliver and decorate the places with the winners and spread her last little bit of Christmas cheer.

Along the way we meet these six winners and their family's friends, and neighbors and see what Christmas cheer does to people and how it helps everyone feel a little happier even when things aren't so great in their lives.

Throughout this whole story I was smiling and I loved every minute of it.  I was even finished this whole story in one day and I haven't done that for a while. Now I just need to go and read Carlson's other Christmas stories.

I received a copy of this book thanks to the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

GIG REVIEW - Cassia @ The Exchange 25/8/17

Emily Jones

The last time I saw Cassia, they were sat behind a merch table with a long line of adoring fans waiting to meet them. This was back in May at Gorilla in Manchester, after they’d played a show-stopping set supporting Leeds based four-piece Clay. But it seems that in those three months, a lot has happened in the land of Cassia.

All of it was written across their faces the moment that they stepped into The Exchange in Stoke: tired eyes but beaming smiles, bold enough to light up any room. And although it was a disappointing turn out for the band (in terms of crowd size), Cassia were on cloud nine.

The Lounge Act and Stu Whiston opened up the night, two contrasting bands with contrasting levels of experience. The Lounge Act were extremely tight, their version of The 1975’s ‘Sex’ was proof of that. As was the colourful spectrum of originals that were included in their set, that offered those that stood watching a diverse bunch of feelings and emotions. As tight and as entertaining as they were however, I couldn’t help but notice the lack of interaction with the audience that remained throughout. Maybe it’s part of the image they’re aspiring to have, but it’s important to remember that it’s not just the quality of live performance that leaves an audience talking.

Stu Whiston on the other hand was very vocal, his driving indie rock sound powering through the venue. Original tracks such as ‘Silver’, ‘There Was A Time’ and the anthemic finale that was ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll Show’ that rose and then fell so effortlessly, were all huge talking points of the band’s set. Whiston had the crowd moving, even if his crowd were smaller than he really should have deserved, but such is the attitude towards “not local enough” headliners i.e. Cassia. Just as The Lounge Act did, Whiston and his band made it work and neither bands seemed particularly fazed by their dwindling crowd.

It was disappointing to see a band of Cassia’s size perform to a half empty venue, something I feel can only be blamed by the amount of local music supporters, who’re often too afraid to take a chance on a band they’ve never heard before. But with a busy weekend of performances at both Reading and Leeds festival ahead of them, Cassia were far from sharing my disappointment.

They played, just as they had done at Gorilla to a room packed full of excitable teenagers, to an exceptional standard and it was quite clear to everyone present that this band are the next big thing. Their signature tropi-pop sound made it virtually impossible to stand still, with tracks such as ‘Moana’, ‘Get Up Tight’ and ‘Weekender’ gaining them new fans with every strum. Rob Ellis, Jacob Leff and Lou Cotterill were comfortable on stage, something that has naturally grown from their love of performing together. Leff in particular appeared to be in his own world and the band couldn’t help but bob up and down to the music they were making.

But that night was significant for the band in more ways than one. Not only was this the first time the Macclesfield based three-piece had performed in Stoke, it was also the release day of their brand new single ‘Sink’. Scroll through their Twitter account (@wearecassia) and you’ll find an overwhelming feeling of love and support for this new track and quite literally all of their exciting musical endeavours. ‘Sink’ is taken from their brand new EP ‘Movers & Shapers’ that will follow their 2016 self-titled three-track release. ‘Sink’ is a natural progression for the band and one that is evident in their live performances.

Cassia concluded the evening with ‘100 Times Over’, their most popular track to date. Ellis’s clean guitar, Cotterill’s smooth bass line and Leff’s caribbean inspired drum beat, the three most important aspects of every song they make, slithered cooly out of the speakers and wrapped themselves around the room. For a moment the world seemed to stop and ‘100 Times Over’ seemed like it could last forever. So much so that when it came to an end, you were left wishing you could replay their entire set all over again.

Cassia have a gigantic few months ahead of them, with a potentially life changing few years in touching distance. But this is a band who are making music for the love of it, a band who befriend everyone they speak to and one that deserve every ounce of the attention they’re receiving.

Red Alert Politics has officially merged with the Washington Examiner

Most of America: Can we just watch football please?

(AP Photo/Michael Dwyer)

As a sports-politics journalist, I’ve taken a particular interest in the President’s comments on the NFL. In fact, I’ve spent the entire weekend thinking about it.

When I first heard the ‘Fire the SOBs!’ line, I half laughed and half guffawed. I wasn’t so offended by the language as I was by the fact that he would touch on the subject. Bill O’Reilly had pressed Trump on his feelings when Colin Kaepernick first took a knee last summer, and the candidate wisely dodged the incredibly touchy matter. After all, it directly involves both patriotism and our First Amendment. However, as Friday night wore on, I realized the reason President Trump was willing to go there while candidate Trump was not. Like a recovering gambler in a Vegas casino, he couldn’t get enough of the high — which for Trump is being adored and praised, especially at a rally in dark red Alabama.

In the process of achieving that high, the President used language that New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees is correct to categorize as “unbecoming” of the office. Furthermore, President Trump seemed more concerned over pleasing Americans with an already-popular opinion, that the kneeling during the Anthem should stop, rather than address pressing issues such as the entire island of Puerto Rico being without power, or how healthcare reform keeps stalling under his watch. President Trump involved himself in the business of a private entity and its employees, and let’s face it, that’s not a good look on any president.

Fast forward to Sunday; it became quickly apparent why the MAGA forces are winning the sports-culture war that ESPN, and quite honestly, the Obama administration threw the nation into. As the third Sunday of the NFL season began in the UK, the Ravens and Jaguars predictably either took a knee or locked arms…yet stood at attention for God Save the Queen! Never mind that THAT anthem has stuck around since 1745, during some possible colonization and slave trades (no biggie!).

For the rest of the day, sports fans were forced to watch the action on the field through a thick, political haze. Patriots fans booed, a Steeler fan since 1966 burned his T-shirt, and many other diehards proclaimed that they would never watch the game again. The NFL has backed itself into a corner for two major reasons.

First, as a sport that has branded itself heavily around patriotism and the military for 50 years, they cannot expect fans to flip their inner “woke switch” to on and roundly applaud the kneeling crew.

Second, the league itself (which more than likely blackballed Kaepernick because he is logically bad for business) can’t pull a 180 on intelligent fans and suddenly say they’re for the free expression of all their employees within the private league. If that were the case, Mr. Kaepernick would be the backup for the Ravens or the starter for the Dolphins. It’s not racist to admit that business is business, and when there’s an X-factor driving customers away, that has to be dealt with.

By Monday, I’ve realized that we have two, very vocal fringes on either side of the argument and in the middle, the vast majority is crying for something, anything that they can simply relax to and enjoy.

Why do you think the ratings for the Hallmark Channel have skyrocketed? As corny and traditional as Hallmark movies can get, Americans will watch a snail slither on a sidewalk as long as the escargot remains apolitical.

If any Yinzer (Pittsburgh native) wants to donate an Alejandro Villanueva jersey before they burn all their highly priced fashion pieces, please contact me. Villanueva’s jersey is the one piece of NFL gear I’ll allow on my body these days. Like many other fans, I’ll debating whether to sit out this season.

I think I am becoming addicted to gnomes...not sure what that says about me! But my new Gnomebody Like You stamps from Wilson Designs are super fun.

Last week, I posted this boy gnome card, so I had to make a girly gnome card. I went with a real simple design, and my color inspiration came from the amazing Chan Vuong's gift bag (if you haven't already, check out her fab color combos during the latest Lawn Fawn release). Anyhoo, here's the card:

Aren't those gals too cute? And yes, they are supposed to be off-set. : )  Here's a close-up:

The sentiments in this set are very punny (and if you look at any of my other posts, you'll see I love those puns). The yellow button is from My Favorite Things (they sell buttons now) and the salmon one is PTI. Of course, when my husband saw the card he said the buttons looked like a pig nose (yeah, thanks for the honesty...now all I see is a pig).

Thanks for looking and thanks for the comments!

  1. Ahhh Jocelyn... this is soooo cute... heart this!!!... Love it...hugs...xoxo

  2. LOL, this is so fun and fresh! I LOVE that sentiment!! The button looks like a buckle to me, one that matches the belts on the gnomes! :D P.S. I love Chan's work, too.

  3. OH MY! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVEEEE this girl! I also now can't stop laughing because I am quite sure our husbands were cut from the same cloth. I can't get enough of your gnome cards! Keep them coming! :-)

  4. These little gnomes are adorable all lined up like this. You do fun and cute so well!

  5. This is TOO stinkin' cute, Jocelyn!! :o) Lovin' the pattern of girl gnomes and the button combo -- and that sentiment just cracks me up! I see we're both members of the punny sentiment fan club -- Ha! And thank you so much for the mention, which took me by surprise -- and now I'm blushing! Big hugs! :o)

  6. That is so adorable. LOVE your card.

    If you are a gnomaphile, I am a fairyphile. I do like gnomes too. They are just cute.

    Hugs and smiles

  7. Such a fun and bright card. I'm pretty crazy for gnomes too after taking my niece to see Gnomeo and Juliet twice. Have you seen it ?

Thank you so much for your comments!

Carter's recent checkup

So I'm a few days behind, but I thought I'd let everyone who wants to know that he was already back to his birth weight by his one week checkup. We go in again for his two week checkup on Tuesday so we'll see how much he weighs then! He's really strong and already tries to hold his head up when you burp him. He's trying to look around as well! He's really interested in the dog and Kashmir (the dog) is really interested in him too! It's pretty funny. Here's a pic of them "hanging" out on the floor.

Aḥmad, the third vizier of Sulaymān I (Suleiman the Magnificent), arrived in Egypt in January 1524. Disappointed by the governorship, because he had hoped that Sulaymān would promote him to a higher post, he left no doubt as to his intention to establish his own sultanate in Egypt. Forming an alliance with the Mamluks, he ordered his name to be mentioned in Friday sermons at local mosques, instructed the head of the mint, a Jew named Abraham Castro, t…
