I have an application in mind that will require loading an HTML document
into a DOM.  The target platform will (eventually) be WinCE.  The first
rule of software development, IMO, is "don't reinvent the wheel".  After
looking around I decided that tidy would be the best source base for
this because a.) it is highly tolerant of poorly-formed HTML, b.) it is
relatively small (have you seen the source base for Amaya?), and c.) it
is well supported in open source and has liberal licensing.

At the outset, let me state that I am a devout believer in the church of
C++, and can bear witness that it is the one, true and living
programming language.  For me, C++ is "obviously" the language best
suited for general purpose programming libraries.

One of the things I will need to do is separate the functionality of
tidy into three groups -- parsing, cleaning, and printing -- and
segregate the code into files according to these divisions, as I will
only need the parsing functions (and maybe a little of the cleaning).
Moving to C++ as I do this is not terribly difficult, and not only will
it make my use of the resulting libraries easier, it has helped me to
understand the code and how all the pieces interrelate.

I am, of course, not trying to convert anyone else to my religion, I
just figured if there were any kindred souls out there I would share
what I have done.

15 December 2008

An open letter to my mother

Dear mum,

The nurse from the hospital phoned just as I arrived at your house on Saturday. I spoke to her and she said that your lungs had filled with fluid. She also said that you were being treated with oxygen and diuretics, that it was a common complication that they see all the time, and that we could come if we wanted but we didn't have to. She said there was no need to speed, so I drove sensibly.

In the car on the way to the hospital I was planning all the jokes I was gonna crack when we got there. I was gonna tell you about dad's daft suggestion of phoning for a police escort so we could get away with breaking the speed limit. I explained to him that you'd already completely recovered from pulmonary oedema once already, so I wasn't too concerned.

When we got up to your ward a nurse crouched down in front of me and said "mum's just gone."

I went in to see you. You looked like you were sleeping except for the fact that your eyes were open. But then, of course, sleeping with eyes open isn't uncommon in people with OI, so you really did look kinda like you were asleep.

Dad was horrified that your eyes were open and your head was leaned over to the side. Apparently you'd *just* died, why didn't you wait for me? I never saw you on Saturday and we'd only spoken on the phone for a couple of minutes. Why couldn't you let me say goodbye?

I screamed, and I cried, and I held you. You were still all sweaty from laying on a plastic-covered hospital mattress. You didn't look like an artificially laid out and made up corpse... you were you. Of the stupid things that pop into your head, one of my first thoughts while I was standing beside you was "who is going to fix my trousers with a rip down the arse now?"

Apparently I told the nurse not to pull you by your legs... I don't remember that. I do remember telling her that you hated laying down flat.

I don't think I thanked you enough for coming to London when I had my operation. It meant everything to me having you here. That afternoon when I was in so much pain that I just laid there with tears coming down my cheeks and I asked you to come as close as you could get, that meant the world to me. It was like when I was young and you'd sit with me when I was ill. And yes, all those hours you spent holding my toes when I had a broken leg...

I'm so glad that happened so recently. It means so much.

I keep thinking of things I wanna tell you the next time I talk to you, like how much Betty likes the scratch mat you bought her. And there must be a hundred times I've nearly said "I'll just phone mum and ask her........"

I'm sorry I wasn't around for your last couple of days. I'm sorry that of all the stupid things in this madness that I wanted a normal day. I wanted to go to uni on Friday and have a normal afternoon. I'll regret that for the rest of my life.

I'm sorry I never hugged you more in recent years. I just wanted to make up for it all and climb in bed with your lifeless body and never let go.

But mostly I'm sorry that all you've ever seen me do is fail. Everyone keeps saying what a wonderful job you did of raising me - and they're right; you were the best mum anyone could want. It must've been hard seeing me have the opportunities you never had - specifically the fact that I got an education; only for me to throw them away by not trying hard enough. I'm sorry I didn't work harder at uni to do better than a 2:2, because I know that education is something you wanted me to have.

And in every other area of life, you never got to see me be the person I hope I will be. I tried swimming and failed at that. I tried comedy and had to give that up due to illness. I wish my late 20s hadn't been sucked away by illness, I might not still be such a loser.

You never got to see me get married (well "enter into a civil partnership"), you never got to meet the grandchildren I hope you'll have. How am I going to bring up kids without you to phone every 10 minutes for advice? And of course, you never got to see me have a career. You never even got to see me finish the MA I should've completed by now if it wasn't for my sinuses.

I hope one day I can be the daughter you deserved.

I love you more than I ever told you. I wish I had told you.

P.S. You couldn't have waited a few years until the DDA filtered through to the funeral industry, could you? I'm having a hell of a job finding a suitably funereal accessible vehicle for me and dad.

13 December 2008

So, illness got the better of me, and I never did finish NaBloPoMo. Oh well.

On Nov 25th I finally got the sinus surgery I've been waiting for for about 3 years. Yay!

Except 9 days later, my mother had a heart attack. She's still in hospital in Colchester.

My body is trying to divert all its energy and resources in the direction of my nose for healing purposes, while I'm trying to use all my energy in driving up and down the A12.

Needless to say that I think the biggest loser in my body's energy war is me, and I'm knackered.

08 November 2008

07 November 2008

NaBloPoMo 7

After a couple of days of feeling a little better, today I feel rotten again.

06 November 2008

NaBloPoMo 6: The Crip Eating Monster

Today I ate crips. No, really.

Despite feeling like death not even warmed up, I dragged myself down to the Royal National Throat Nose and Ear Hospital to see the surgeon that's going to be operating on my nose and sinuses.

The majority of staff at the hospital couldn't tell their arses from their elbows if they were clearly labelled. Fortunately I do have some faith in the surgeon, even if I'm concerned about whether or not the other hospital staff will be able to get me to the theatre on time. Or at all. He laughed, and then apologised when I told him about my pre-assessment telephone interview.

"What is your exercise tolerance?"

"My what?"

"Your exercise tolerance. Can you walk long distances?"

"No. I'm a wheelchair user. But I can push long distances."

Then about 10 mins later:

"What drugs are you on?"

"About 15 kinds. Where do you want me to start?"

"With the most important."

"They're all important. I'll start with the ones relevant to the condition I'm being operated on for."

[4 drugs later]

Her: "OK, just one more."

Me: "Well, I've still got about 10 different ones left."

"What do you take for your muscles?"

"What do you take for your mobility."

"Erm... nothing..."

She had to hang up, check with a supervisor if she needed me to carry on reading the rest of my drugs list, and call back. It just got better.

"You need an adult to bring you in."

"Why? I know I'll need an adult to take me home because of the anaesthetic, but why to bring me in?"

"It is because you are a wheelchair user."

"What? I'm a big grown up 29 year old, I can get myself to the hospital."

"You live alone!?!?!?"

So my surgeon sent me up to pre-assessment in person to redo the interview on the basis that my info was written down by an idiot.

I'm still all viral and achy and tired and bleurgh. By the time I got home I just wanted to sleep. But I was starving and too exhausted and utterly spoonless to cook, so I went to grab some grub from the café round the corner. I was so hungry that I couldn't even face the 5 minute wait for a jacket potato to be delivered to my table, so I turned to the crisps rack behind me...

When I noticed they were selling Crips

I had to.

There are some fantastic quotes on their site... "Crips are everywhere!" being possibly my personal favourite.

Don't understand the whole animal advertising thing though. My Sea Salt & Balsamic Vinegar Crips had a picture of 2 dogs on the packet. Neither of them were in a doggie wheelchair. False advertising, that's what it is. I want to know what's inside my packet of fake crisps from looking at the packet. Yes, Crips should be advertised by real crips.

05 November 2008

NaBloPoMo 5

Still feeling a bit foggy, but my virus appears to be subsiding slightly.

On Sunday fearing I may have tonsillitis I dragged myself to the NHS Walk-in Centre at Charing Cross Hospital, where they've got a Walk-in Centre, a Minor Injuries Unit and an A&E in one. You register at reception, get seen by a triage nurse, and they decide whether or not you should be seen as a walk-in patient, a minor injuries patient or an A&E patient.

Despite only having suspected tonsillitis the triage nurse put me down as an A&E patient. I'm assuming that was because of the wheelchair. I wanted to hit my head against things - there's an A&E dept within walking distance of my flat. If I wanted to go to A&E over a sore throat I'd have gone there, instead of dragging myself halfway across London, getting lost in Hammersmith due to the hospital not being signposted and having to resort to calling my mother in Clacton to get her to look up a map online and give me directions to the hospital.

So, anyway, I was seen within a matter of minutes. I wish my waits in A&E had been that short during my childhood when I could've been eligible for some frequent visitor reward scheme on account of breaking my arms all the damn time.

I was seen by a nurse who only cared about why I used a wheelchair.

"My throat hurts and my nose is bleeding about 5 times a day. I've got chronic sinusitis and am on the waiting list for surgery."

"So, why do you use a wheelchair?"

"Osteogenesis Imperfecta. But, sinusitis! Nose bleeds!"

"How do you spell that?"

"O-S-T-E-O-G-E-N-E-S-I-S I-M-P-E-R-F-E-C-T-A. But, sinusitis! Nose bleeds!"

"Is that like a spinal thing?"

"Literally translated from Latin it means 'imperfect bone formation'. Sinusitis! Nose bleeds!"

"Have you had it long?"

"What? The sinusitis or the OI?"

"Erm... since birth? Sinusitis! Nose bleeds!"

Meeting a medical professional more interested in OI than what I actually went in for is nothing new. Meeting an A&E nurse who's never met someone with OI is more shocking. OI is pretty rare, but OIers do make up a fair amount of the traffic that goes through A&E depts, what with the frequently breaking bones thing. I spent so much time in X-ray as a child that two of the first words I learned to read were "danger" and "radiation"!

After all that, he finally looked down my throat, saw no pus, decided I just had a virus and sent me home with the instruction to drink lots of hot drinks.

Like I need to be told to drink copious amounts of tea.

P.S. Yay! Obama! Roll on January 20th.

Still got cotton wool for brains. Let's hope American voters are capable of thinking more clearly than me.

I was thinking of doing NaBloPoMo, except illness stole my brain and replaced it with cotton wool.

08 September 2008

Big Brother is over for another year. Hurrah! It is now safe to tune in to channel 4 and E4 once again.

This series there were not just one, but 2 disabled housemates. Prior to this series they've had only one disabled contestant, Pete Bennett. He won.

Both Darnell and Mikey survived the entire series (I make it sound like that episode of Doctor Who, don't I?) and made it in to the final.

I also understand that the first American BB was won by an amputee.

TV companies have always been hesitant about putting disabled people on TV. Surely if nothing else, BB proves that viewers *like* having disabled people on their screens and *want* to have disabled people on their screens.

After all, if viewers didn't want to see the disabled contestants, they'd have been voted off ages ago.

The motivations for wanting to see disabled people on screen is almost certainly because they can get away with staring at someone different, which they get embarrassed about doing in real life. Or they end up having an accident. I just love it when people get so engrossed at staring at me, the lady in the wheelchair, crossing the road that they forget to look right and left themselves before stepping into traffic. But Big Brother means they can gawp at us from the safety of their sofa, without the risk of getting hit by a car.

But, motivation is irrelevant. The public have voted that they want to see disabled people on TV. Isn't it time the TV companies paid attention?

Of course, TV companies aren't paying attention. I understand from a friend that not one American TV station is covering the Paralympics. NBC even branded themselves "The Olympic Broadcaster" (or something like that), but they're not showing the Paralympics. Even though at the end of day 2, the US is at the top of the medal table. You would think disabled and non-disabled Americans alike would want to take pride in their success, especially seeing as so far their Paralympians are doing better than their Olympians did.

Here in the UK we're doing rather better. We've got six hours coverage a day via the digital "red button" option on our tellys. Then every evening there's a highlights show on one of the main channels. Those of you in countries where you're unable to watch the games on your TV might be interested to know that the torrent site UKNova is uploading the BBC's nightly highlights programme. Don't bother to ask me for an invite code though. The site doesn't do them. You just have to keep hitting the "signup" page until an account "vacancy" becomes available.

The Beeb's Paralympic website is also mostly excellent (some of the journalism is rather sloppy; for instance apparently Darren Kenny "suffers from" cerebral palsy. Even though he's just won Paralympic gold). But the video files are only available to those connecting to the net in the UK.

When Big Brother started in 2000 I never, ever imagined I'd say that there were lessons to be learned from it. Even more unbelievable is that the lesson that can be learned is that viewers want to see disabled people on TV.

NBC, the so-called "Olympic Broadcaster" could certainly learn a lot from it.

Disablism Vs. Ableism

We grow, we evolve, our thought processes change. Since writing this post in 2008 (this emboldened intro was written in 2014) I've thought more about quite why the term "ableism" bothers me so. In fact, one of the comments on this post was important in developing my own chain of thought. If you're looking for an exploration of some of the faults with the term "ableism" then you'll find this post written in 2013 to be far better thought out.

It's BADD again. I don't mean that things are bad again. Although today kinda has been -- I should have been at a cult film conference, instead I spent the day sitting at home waiting for an engineer from Virgin to come and fix my TV and phone.

Blogging Against Disablism Day has come round again. I didn't participate last year, so my last BADD entry was in 2006.

There are a lot of things I hate; doing dishes, mornings, people with gross fungal toenails who wear sandals (they make me feel sick -- seriously -- treat them or hide them), the cat peeing in my bed, disablism (obviously), and there is a word I really hate: Ableism.

Those of you who don't know, "ableism" is the American/Australian word for "disablism". And I think it's ludicrous.

For one thing it reminds me of those ridiculously over-PC words like "handicapable" or "differently abled", which are only used by people who are trying to pretend that disability doesn't exist.

Secondly, it's unclear what it actually means. If "disablism" is discriminating against people for being disabled, surely "ableism" is discriminating against people for being able? In season three, episode 18 of My Name Is Earl, Earl and Randy go into a "wheelchair bar". In this bar there are no chairs, so it's obviously discriminating against people who are able to walk thus haven't brought their own seat with them. That's what I would call "ableism". In reality, in the UK it is illegal to discriminate against someone for being disabled, but it is legal to discriminate against someone for not being disabled. So for example, it is legal to advertise a job as being for disabled applicants only. This I would also call "ableism" (though I don't think this is wrong).

Someone on an Internet message board I use started a discussion on ableism. She was Australian, and angered that she had tried to introduce a non-disabled person to the concept of ableism. The non-disabled person laughed at such a ludicrous term.

Obviously I did too, because it's a silly word. But this person laughed, because she didn't believe that such a thing existed. I wonder if she would have still laughed if Australians used the more accurately descriptive word "disablism". On that thread several people mentioned that they struggle to get non-disabled people to understand concepts of ableism. I never have any trouble getting people to understand disablism; could this be because of the language I use?

I believe that calling disablism "ableism" is akin to calling racism "whiteism". I've heard some people disagree, and argue that grammatically "ableism" is more correct. I fail to see their point. If "racism" is discrimination on the grounds of race, surely it is logical that the word for discrimination on the grounds of disability would be "disablism"? I shall await the barrage of comments from people who have studied the English language in greater depth than me pointing out why I'm an idiot.

So my appeal for this Blogging Against Disablism Day is for us all to call disablism what it really is. If we are using a word like "ableism" which tries to pretend that disability doesn't exist, how can we fight against discrimination on the basis of disability? If we're trying to pretend that disability doesn't exist, then how can discrimination on the basis of it exist? "Sexism", "racism" and "homophobia" are used by English speakers the whole world over. How are we supposed to expect non-disableds to fully understand concepts of disablism if we can't even come up with a unified word for it?

Say it with me people: Diss-A-Buh-Lism. Then go and read what my cat had to say for BADD.

Edit May 8th: Thanks for all the comments on this post. I was especially interested by the thoughtful comment by maudite entendante in which she said:

Highly Obvious to me that the "abl-" in "ableism" is just the prefix form of "ability" (because, really, "abilityism" just isn't a possible English word), and it means "discrimination based on [amount or type or category of] ability"

Looking at the term "ableism" in that context makes it clear that "ableism" is derived from the medical model of disability - the idea that a disability is something we have, that we are disabled by a lack of ability.

I'm a believer in the social model of disability, the idea that we are disabled by barriers which prevent us from living as full and equal citizens.

The term "disablism" doesn't have such obvious medical model roots. Another reason why I think this term is superior.

"There were commodes as well."

Using a commode in front of half of Central London?

I think I'd rather wet myself...

02 February 2008

I am getting really pissed off with, well... Piss.

I know I only go in to university one day a week so I shouldn't let it bother me this much. But, yuck.

There's a man who uses the disabled toilet in the building I have lectures in and wees *everywhere*. And I know it's a bloke because women aren't anatomically designed to spray that liberally.

Some days the room is more like a swimming pool. Except it smells more like wee and less like bleach of course.

I know that some people live with incontinence and sometimes accidents happen. But, seriously... clean it up! Have a little respect for your fellow humans.

One day I'm going to slip over in the wee and wind up on the floor, with a broken leg, covered in his urine. You'd hope that the police could test the DNA on the wee all over my clothes and charge him with some kind of assault for setting off a chain of events which left me injured. But that doesn't even happen in CSI so it's certainly not going to happen in real life.

And it's not just the floor... it's the seat too! I know most women squat rather than sit when faced with a grim loo, but some of us aren't physically capable of that. If I try squatting I just fall down. And land in his pee. Lovely.

So, I decide to find a safer, less vile toilet. What do you do when leaving a toilet? Turn the door handle. And, yup, that's always wet too.

"I would've gotten away with it too if it wasn't for those pesky disabled people!"

A couple of months ago I blogged (very briefly) about Katie Thorpe.

I've been offline for the past few days. I haven't been doing anything interesting... The cat and I took up Synchronised Sneezing, I've read a few essays about Buffy, but mostly I've just been sitting on the sofa watching CSI (hey, I'm doing a Masters in Cult Film & TV... watching CSI is therefore technically studying).

Not having been staring into my computer screen means I've not been keeping up with the news... I rarely watch it on TV or listen to it on the radio, I get all my news from online sources.

So, I was both shcoked and pleased to switch on my computer this morning to find that I had an Email from Scope. Shocked because they're not my most favourite of charities so I was stunned to find myself on one of their mailing lists. But pleased because the Email was the first time I'd heard the news that Katie Thorpe has been spared uneccessary surgery. A quote from Katie's mother in that article that would be funny if it wasn't so disturbing:

"People who don't know Katie, who don't fully understand our situation have actually been swayed by the minority of the disability rights organisations."

Damn those pesky disabled people fighting for the right to not be needlessly mutilated.

In recent months I've started to notice something quite chilling going on. All minority groups have their hate-filled opressors, and disabled people have more than most. But, recently, the people shouting the loudest about why disabled people shouldn't be allowed human rights are the parents of disabled children!

I read an article, or perhaps it was a 'letters to the editor' type thing by a parent, or parents of autistic children. They were basically claiming that the National Autistic Society is bad and wrong and fails to support "real" autistic people. Why? Because they employ autistic people. According to the article people with autism know nothing about it. They claimed that the only people that truly understand autism are the parents, and people with autism have no right to claim that they do know anything about it. I can't remember where I read this, but, if it rings a bell and you know where I can find this story, please comment.

That a parent can claim that their children shouldn't have the right to speak out for themselves, or that their children shouldn't have the right to avoid unneccesary surgery simply beggars belief.

Fortunately, for once, the disabled people are coming out on top.

2007 started with Ashley X hitting the news. This spurned several wanna-copycat cases, like Katie.

Hopefully 2008 beginning with the news that Katie is safe will bring a better year for young disabled girls everywhere.

100th + 1 post

This was supposed to be the 100th post; but I was on the deadline for the appointment of "Corner View", so I will call this the "100th + 1" post.
I would have love to host, for example a "giveaway"; but since I never did it, I have not experience; but I will do it in the future. For now, I will start saying some things about myself and my blogger friends.
10 things I love (apart from my family and my cat!), and not necessary in that order:

1.- Travel (I've been a backpacking traveling girl in the 70's!)
2.- The Winter (Oh, so happy to be under a cozy quilt reading a good book!)
3.-Rainy days (Most people thinks I am crazy because of this!)
4.-To read ( I am not a snob: love Romance too, but only late Kathleen Woodiwiss's books)
5.- To blog ( Thanks to this I meet every day a lot of interesting people)
6.- Italy (It's my second country. Really I have a hate-love relationship with Italy!)
7.- Friends.- (Loyal friends are hard to find. I am fortunate to have them!)
8.-To cook ( Fortunately, my two men are tall and thin!)
9.-To craft ( Can't stay without some craft in progress!)
10.-To walk (From September to May, preferably on the beach!)

Ten things I don't like:

1.- Summer (Makes me mad!)
2.-Shopping (Every kind of shopping!)
3.-To drive (Though sometimes I am aware it could be useful!)
4.-Bureaucracy (Hate to go to the post-office, or places like that!)
5.-Furs (I have my cat to warm my feet. And he is alive!)
6.-Traffic ( One of the reasons I could leave Italy! The other...well, better I don't speak of it!)lol
7.-Islands (They finish somewhere, I love the great spaces!)
9.-Fish (except shrimps and mussels)
10.-Hipocrisy (Why not say what you think?)

As for my bloggers friends. I wish to thank all of you for your friendship, and for the kindness you show toward this wicked old lady and finally, for the patience with which you read my posts writen in this Spanglish-Maccaroni English!
Here it a list of some of these wonderful people:
She is a sweet lady living in Switzerland. She makes wonderful crafts and experiments in the kitchen. And have a cat I love!
5 orange potatos and 3 black inkspots
Lisa, and her two Little Ladies are a sort of Fairies. Her blog is something between New Age and a Druid secret diary, she knows almost everything about the proprierties of the plants and flowers. Plants ( and even weeds!) are not the same for me, since I started reading her blog!

Ian is a young English gentleman, a traveler and a great photographer. Through his awesome pictures one can travel around the world. And I share with him the love for good books.

Oh, Carolyn is an artist! Her art works are inspirational. She works with every kind of materials; and I love especially her collages.

Jane, an american living in Spain, and wife to an aspirant torero. She keeps together a comunity of bloggers through her "Corner View" a weekly appointment that allows people to show some flashes of life in pictures. And she is so amusing!
Well, with Wendy, we've been close some months ago, thanks to FB and the chat. Then both of us started to work hard. She writes for an online magazine and makes wonderful jewels. As for me, started to collaborate at a friend's jewelry shop. Hope to hear from her soon.

Jeannette is a young Dutch lady living in Germany. She is a sweet and romantic girl. Her musings awakens my sense of motherhood. I think I will adopt her! She too, is a cat lover!

Peggy is the crafty mom of Miss Kinder. Her tutorials are wonderful. And she is a good cook too.

Joyce is a cheerful person, one I would love to have as a neighbor, so I am happy to have her as a virtual friend!. Her pictures are beautiful.

Tess is a poet, and a young grandmother. She is also a mixed media artist.

Well this are some of the blogs I follow and some of them follow me and keep in touch frequently. There are others I like too, like "What not to crochet", incredible amusing, or "Button Floozies" ( Oh, to own all those buttons!) or "Kids napping? I'm scrapping!", Jessica makes the most wonderful scrapbooks!
Thanks again to everybody, and I am waiting suggestions and advice for a giveaway!

Love the love and don't like tidbits about you! Ugh, I dislike traffic too, actually don't like to drive very much at all anymore because of it. The thought of moving to Atlanta, Georgia scares me in this respect!

Thank you so much for the wonderful comment and link to my blog! Such an interesting way to look at it!

Loving blogging friend, lisa

Jeannette said...

♫ Happy Blogiversary!♫
And that are the sweetest words ever said about me. So touching.
Oh and my husband wants to be adopted too. ;)
Such great lists...I could have written it. I love the beach in winter! And like you I don´t like shopping.
A big hug, Jeannette

Joyce said...

Happy 100+1!! Ahhh....Juanita thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kind words. You made cry, happy tears, with your kindness not only to me but everyone. Of course my friend I would love to have you as neighbor! Thank goodness for blogging we are now friends across the across the bay of water. Have a golden weekend!! xoxo

juanitatortilla said...

Oh you sweet, sweet woman. I am now puzzled, and taking a guess that... You are not Italian, but from Spain? Did I get that right? Or am I completely wrong? Oh my gosh! I am suddenly confused, haha!

Your summaries of each blogger are so sincerely and well-thought. I am definitely going to take a look at each incredible one of them.

Happy 100+1 post Juanita! (Hehehe, it's funny to type my own name to someone else, all the time!)

A Cuban In London said...

Many thanks for your kind comment on my blog. I, too, have had my 'odd' moments with Italian, a language I understand fairly well, but cannot speak properly (my Portuguese is much better).

Greetings from London.

Want to try somewhere new for dinner or lunch? We suggest giving PK's Pub a try, they have everything from sandwiches and seafood to steak and pasta.

You won't find PK's Pub on the main drag of downtown Herkimer. It's a few streets over, and if you haven't been there before, you might miss it. (Good thing for GPS, right?!) This fantastic dining option can be found at 221 King Street.

I know what you're thinking... "A place that has everything. Okay, there's a lot of those. Doesn't mean everything is good." But that's not true. PK's Pub may have a diverse menu, but it's safe to say they specialize in ALL their dishes. If you want a delicious, satisfying burger, they have you covered. If you like it spicy, we suggest you try their "Devil's Fury" burger, with ghost pepper jack cheese, bacon, Sriracha mayo, and a Cajun seasoned patty.

Craving seafood? They have plenty of options from shrimp and clam dinners to "Pesto Haddock." And their pasta dishes? Out of this world. Seriously. Just take a look at this Chipotle Ravioli:

Naomi Lynn/TSM

Or this Chicken Parm:

Naomi Lynn/TSM

We could go on and on about the delicious food, the wonderful waitstaff, and the comfortable atmosphere, but words are just words. We suggest you give them a try. It's a great option especially when everyone in the family wants something different. One wants Italian, one wants seafood, another wants steak, PK's Pub has everyone covered. You can check out their diverse menu by visiting: PKsPub.com

They're open Monday through Friday: 11am to 9pm, and Saturday: 4:30pm to 9pm.

Mommy & Me Minis

Mommy & Me Minis

I’m easing back from maternity leave after giving birth to my daughter, Emma, in March. I’ve been enjoying time with her since her debut and my husband and I have been adjusting to our new roles as parents, which has felt a bit like boot camp at times. But I really wanted to come back for Mother’s Day as it means so much more to me this year.
It will be a very bittersweet day for me. I’m looking forward to my first Mother’s Day as a mom and celebrating this gift I’ve been given. But this will also be my first Mother’s Day without my mom. She was the epitome of what unconditional love and sacrifice looks like in a mother. While each day is a void without her, I know that this Mother’s Day will be even more so.
One of the most cherished belongings I have is a handful of photographs of my mom and me from my wedding last Fall. I didn't know it at the time, but it was the last happy occasion we would have together before her health rapidly declined. Whenever I look at that photo, I am reminded of just how important it is to capture special moments in pictures.  I am thankful that I have this lasting image of us to show to my daughter.

I'll be holding a special round of mini sessions honoring moms and their little ones. Come casual or fancied up. I'm keeping it simple with a white quilt, but feel free to bring along anything else you would like to help make these special pictures your own.

More details are below.

Mommy & Me Minis are:

  • $125
  • 15 min
  • Your choice of 5 photos from a full gallery
  • (More can be purchased)
  • Max 4 people because of short time slot

Sessions will be held at Milroy Park in the Heights

Dates and times are:
Sat May 5th from 9-10am
Sat May 5th from 3:30-4:30pm
Sun May 6th from 4-5pm

 Mini apple pancakes | Fruit pancakes | Wholesome baby food

Mini apple pancakes

Suitable from 10 months

Mini apple pancakes
This is a recipe that has been a regular in my family ever since I can remember. My grandparents have a big apple tree in their garden and every fall there’s an abundance of ripe apples available, so we’re making loads of apple cake, apple sauce and also these small apple pancakes which everyone loves. Preparing and frying up enough pancakes for our extended family usually takes some time, but they’re worth waiting for!

Recipe tips
If using butter or another fat/oil with a low smoke point, make sure to fry on low heat to keep your pan from smoking. These pancakes are great on their own, but can also be dusted with a little bit of cinnamon (only for kids over the age of one, if no allergy is present) and served with homemade berry compote such as blueberries, raspberries and the like. If you want to avoid wheat, replace the flour with almond flour but use slightly less (about 2/3) in order to get a similar, pourable consistency. Substitute cows milk with other milks like oat milk, almond milk etc., if needed.

How to Crush Overwhelm & Get Your Life Back on Track

With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts. – Eleanor Roosevelt

Overwhelm is inevitable and happens to the best of us, but not everyone knows how to overcome it. These following tips have worked wonders for me and will help you survive the many curveballs life throws your way and let you come out of them better than before.

crushing overwhelm.

1. take a step back

When you’re overwhelmed, the best thing you can do is take a step back and examine the situation. Answer questions like, “what’s triggering my anxiety?” and “what must I do to overcome this overwhelming time?” These questions will help you make sense of it all, and once you do that, you can start making your way to conquering overwhelm for good.

2. list out everything that’s causing you to stress

This is also known as brain dumping, an incredible productivity trick I mentioned in one of my recent posts, The Step-By-Step Guide to Living your Dreams & Achieving Greatness. Trust me y’all, I wouldn’t be repeating this if it wasn’t important.

The whole purpose of brain dumping is to prime your brain to do great things. All it is is listing all of those annoying, nagging thoughts that are spiraling in your brain that are sending you into panic mode. This allows you to see them in front of you so you can take action on them. Not to mention, it relieves the pent-up worry you’ve kept inside.

It is also a good idea to keep your this list with you so you have a place to continually brain dump throughout the day. This will help you keep track of ideas so they don’t get consumed by all of the other things you have on your mind.

3. take a load off.

Sometimes it can be extremely hard to get caught up when you’re emotionally and physically drained, so don’t be afraid to give yourself a day or two off. Sleep in ’til noon, watch your favorite show, pamper yourself, and take a nap after that – do whatever you need to do to recuperate!

At the end of your lazy day, acknowledge and be grateful for your day off and how rejuvenated you feel. Show your thanks for the time off and the chance to crush your overwhelm once and for all.

4. delegate time to getting caught up

Now that your brain is prepped, it’s time to plan. Start by choosing flexible hours and dedicating them to the important and urgent tasks. One of the best ways to do this is by blocking these hours out in your calendar. Also, make it known that there is nothing else you should be doing at this time. Your attention should be focused on those tasks, and those tasks only. Here are some ways to make these hours more enjoyable:

  • Get into some comfy clothes.
  • Make yourself a cup of coffee or tea.
  • Set out all of your materials.
  • Stretch to wake yourself up and get your blood flowing.
  • Grab a snack and water to keep you hydrated while you hustle.
  • Put on some soft piano music.

Try dedicating at least an hour daily to finishing urgent tasks. If you make it a habit, you will notice that you will begin to feel caught up in a matter of days.

5. say no to things you don’t have time for

In order to get caught up, you’re going to need to make the time for it. This means saying “no” to optional activities and hunkering down to do the work. If someone wants to spend time with you (which always happens when you need to get work done, am I right?), politely decline and offer a date a week or two later. That way, you can use your get-together as a reward for your productivity.

It’s important to remember your priorities and have the self-discipline to avoid time wasters. Overwhelm won’t conquer itself!

getting back on track.

6. make sleep a priority

Many times when people are being “productive,” they carry their work hours long into the night. While it’s understandable that people want to take advantage of the night hours, there are drawbacks. You may feel unstoppable when you’re staying up late, but your productivity the next day will plummet for sure, which isn’t the greatest trade in the world.

Sufficient sleep is especially crucial in overwhelming times, and it’s important to create a sleep schedule where you get at least seven hours of sleep. Good sleep habits don’t form overnight (no pun intended), and like any other habit takes consistency and drive, but the longlasting effects of a healthy sleep schedule will be 1000% worth it.

7. integrate good habits into your daily routine

Your habits have a direct correlation on your productivity. If you come home from school/work and the first thing you do is sit down and watch your favorite TV show, guess what, you’re building a habit. Now, that may be an enjoyable habit, but as far as productivity goes, it’s not high on the list of “most productive things you could be doing.”

Good habits like reading, meditating, and exercising will not only make you feel good, but they’ll put you in the right mindset to get shit done.

8. take breaks during your day

Another key to conquering your overwhelm is taking breaks to skyrocket your productivity. This may seem counterintuitive, but taking time off from working, even if it’s only 10 minutes, can give you more stamina and focus you can put back into your work. Consistent breaks will help you avoid burnout and give you more willpower to do your job.

I recommend using the well known Pomodoro Technique for balancing your work time to break time ratio. This technique organizes work time into 25-minute increments and breaks into five. I like this technique because of how flexible it is; Instead of 25-minute increments, you can work for 50 and then take 10-minute breaks. I find this technique especially helpful for when I’m studying for exams and doing homework.

9. use Sundays to your advantage

Some people see Sundays as the dreaded day before Monday, but they have so much potential for productivity! Here are some ways to use your Sundays effectively:

  • Get done your weekly to-do list items you have yet to do.
  • Do mundane tasks like laundry and watering plants.
  • Go to church and spend time in God’s presence.

10. stay grounded and present

Keeping our sanity in stressful times is where many of us trip up, but it’s absolutely essential to conquering your overwhelm. Here are some of my favorite ways I keep grounded when life throws me some curveballs.

Meditation is my holy grail of staying grounded. I have found enormous success in practicing this habit and have only good things to say about it. Anyone can meditate, so I recommend you give it a try. Trust me, it works wonders.

Also as I mentioned before, amongst chaos the urgent tasks take our top priority, but it’s important to not lose sight of prioritizing health and sleep is at times like these. Stress drains us, and it’s necessary to get adequate sleep and keep your diet clean to rejuvenate yourself. Try to resist stress eating urges too. Those are real.

Always remember that this struggle in your life will pass, and when it does, it will be ever so rewarding. Just keep on swimming and cross that finish line.

When you’re overwhelmed you often find yourself in a rut that can be extremely hard to find your way out of. By taking a step back and identifying problems, you can start making progress. Take time out of your day to finish urgent tasks and eradicate things that are causing you to feel stressed and overwhelmed.

After you’ve crushed your overwhelm, you can start getting your life back on track again by implementing good habits, prioritizing and improving your health, and taking advantage of every day. Lastly, if overwhelm ever finds its way back into your life, you’ll be prepared conquer it once again.

Can Iran’s Zarif Pull Through?

by Jasmin Ramsey

“He may be the only person in the world who can telephone both Senator Dianne Feinsten and the Hezbollah Chief Hassan Nasrallah,” writes the veteran U.S. foreign affairs journalist Robin Wright about Iran’s famous foreign minister.

Her New Yorker profile is a fascinating read for anyone interested in Javad Zarif, whose mere smile so frightens the Israeli government and for those want to understand why Iran, faults and all, has been recently covered in American mainstream media as much more than — and perhaps not at all — a charter member of George W. Bush’s “axis of evil.”

We recently published an important piece by France’s former ambassador to Tehran, François Nicoullaud, who is probably more familiar with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani than with Zarif (Rouhani was Iran’s lead nuclear negotiator when Ambassador Nicoullaud was in Tehran). Nicoullaud’s post nonetheless made an important point related to Wright’s article:

One of [Rouhani’s] first acts as president was transferring Iran’s nuclear negotiating file from the Supreme National Security Council to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. That enabled him to build a “dream team” of seasoned negotiators, perfectly comfortable with the codes and practices of their Western counterparts. Iran’s new and refined team has stood out in stark contrast to the collective clumsiness of the P5+1 negotiators, as in the early November 2013 episode, when four Wester foreign ministers rushed prematurely to Geneva, spurring the media to believe, mistakenly, that a deal would be signed. (It was signed 10 days later.)

The Iranian government hasn’t been remade since the June 2013 surprise election of Rouhani; it still contains hard-line and questionable cabinet picks by the president, such as Mostafa Pourmohammadi. But it’s hard to make a convincing argument today that Iran isn’t trying to change under Rouhani, who will mark his first anniversary as president in August.

That’s right, it hasn’t even been a year since that historic phone call between Rouhani and U.S. President Barack Obama last September in New York as the Iranian leader was being driven to JFK airport from the United Nations General Assembly where, in a furious series of meetings and speeches, he spelled out Iran’s new approach to the world.

Of course, Iran, which gives off a “striking impression” of “strategic loneliness” according to Wright, still has a long way to go on all fronts, and expectations are higher than ever.

Indeed, there has been considerable speculation about why the last round of nuclear negotiations between Iran and world powers ended in Vienna last Friday without the customary plenary. Al-Monitor’s Laura Rozen pointed to the “wide gaps” cited by a U.S. official, while the Guardian’s Julian Borger saw the parties hitting a wall. For his part, Zarif seemed as cool and collected as ever in his brief post-talks remarks. “Back from Vienna after tough discussions. Agreement is possible.But illusions need to go.Opportunity shouldn’t be missed again like in 2005,” he tweeted on May 17.

Whatever the reality of the situation (the negotiators have been remarkably disciplined about keeping the details of the talks under wraps), Rouhani needs a nuclear resolution. And as Wright’s profile shows, there may be no one in Iran better equipped or as determined as Zarif to achieve that goal. So can Zarif pull through? Stay tuned.

  1. Thanks for the update, as well as the link. Hitting a stone wall, everyone knew that was coming. So much time, effort, money is wasted on posturing and the boogieman, it seems that all of that could be put to better use for the betterment of the immediate area, as in helping to solve the water crisis for instance. Spending all that money on military arms and war[s], but then, who am I to bring this up?

  2. I think its important to understand one crucial element in this and that is that the decision by Rouhani to alter oversight of nuclear negotiations was not made in some attempt to become more flexible or moderate in Iran’s negotiating stance. In fact, recent negotiations have shown that Iran remains ultimately recalcitrant and committed to its course. The decision was meant to portray a more accommodating face to the West, one that knew the language of diplomacy, but because Iran’s governmental structure remains unchanged with the ruling mullah council and Supreme Leader Khamenei retaining all authority for foreign policy issues, the change was — in the end — nothing more than window dressing. It was designed to appease the West and provide initial ammunition for Iran’s PR and lobbying machine to push for an initial break in the sanctions logjam to show “good faith” from the West without having Iran concede anything other than agreeing to more talks.

    Zarif’s long history, along with Rouhani, in Iran’s military, security and political arms is more compelling a barometer of Iran’s true intentions. The West should come to realize the inescapable truth that unless changes in human rights conditions and real political liberalization that reduces the power of the religious theocracy and vests it in a non-religious, democratically elected body takes place, the West should not trust Iran to negotiate a real deal.

  3. One may endlessly debate on regime’s calculations.Those who follow the nuclear issue as from long on a daily basis know some elementary factors : Neither President Rohani nor Foreign minister Zarif are negociating for accomodating “naive” westerners.Issue is far more serious.A deal was signed on last november for a very simple/basic reason :Treasury was empty.There was a panic as from october 2012 while iranian economy due to both sanctions and Ahmadinejad’s deleterious economic management.
    Should you have any doubt, ask why the Guide signed ( approved) a “Resistance economy” Plan a few months ago? This is

  4. Apologies: my comment was unwillingly interrupted before both corrections and conclusion.Here is the conclusion.
    This is a mix of a Chinese-style auto sufficiency economy plan and a genuine liberal/reform incorporating former candidate Rohani’s program and critical recommendations from IMF ( see latest Mission Report).
    Resistance economy, beyond an “old timer” slogan for domestic audience,is a B and C plan ( something which I have checked).B plan in case of a collapse of negociations.C plan because in case of success a significant delay will be necessary for implementing a full withdrawal of US sanction for well known reasons;and due to the fact that iranian economic apparatus is not ready for this and will need time for accomodation ( a far less well known factor).

  5. I do think we’re missing the point of this article which is the belief that Zarif is the right man to pull a nuclear deal through. The truth of the matter is that Zarif is indeed the right person for Iran since Iran wishes to preserve its nuclear infrastructure and weaponizing tools, hence the firm stance by Zarif that Iran be allowed not only to keep its centrifuge capacity, but to increase it significantly. Which is why it can give up on downgrading its current uranium stockpile while it boosts its refining capability. As a true loyalist to the ruling religious leadership, Zarif is a true soldier for the cause which is why his skills are valuable to Khamenei as Iran seeks to fool the West.

Sheriff Victor Hill Swears In Citizen As Honorary Deputy For Catching A Serial Burglar!

Back in the old west, there were always a group of men and women that the Sheriff could depend on if he needed extra help with outlaws.  They became referred to as the Sheriff’s Posse.

Clayton County Citizen Christopher Belgrave who once served in our country’s beloved Marine Core proved himself to be the type of man that Sheriff Victor Hill would call on if he was ever short on help.

Tuesday before last March 20, 2018, Joseph Skinner, a serial burglar, led Fayette County Sheriff’s Office on a high speed chase that took them through Henry County.  Skinner obviously was not paying attention when he cross the line and came into Clayton County. Many criminals who have crossed into the borders of Clayton County would have warned Skinner that he was making a huge mistake.

A calvary of Clayton County Deputies, PD Officers, along with the Sheriff responded to help Fayette County catch Skinner.  The high speed chase ended in Lovejoy where Skinner drove behind a house and fled from the Fayette County Deputies.  Clayton Sheriff’s Deputies and PD Officers set up a perimeter bringing out tracking dogs to help Fayette County.  By the time the Sheriff arrived on scene to lead the manhunt, he was pleasantly surprised to find out that Skinner had just been captured.  This time, not by his Deputies.

Skinner fled and hid in Christopher Belgrave’s garage.  When Mrs. Belgrave walked out to her car, she was startled to find a stranger in her garage.  Mrs. Belgrave ran back into her home screaming for her husband as Skinner followed her and tried to pull her door open behind her to enter the home.  Mr. Belgrave open the door that his wife had locked and pointed his gun at Skinner letting him know he better not go any further.  Mr. Belgrave then held Skinner at gunpoint until Sheriff Victor Hill’s Deputies and PD Officers arrive to take Skinner into custody.  Skinner was turned over to Fayette County so they could ship him back to the Fayette County jail.

Sheriff Victor Hill was so elated that he went to meet Mr. Belgrave to shake his hand, give him a challenge coin, and commend him for being a great American.  The Sheriff was so impressed with this young man that on today, he swore in Christopher Belgrave as an Honorary Deputy!  Don’t be surprised if we see this young man in uniform by the end of the year, if he decides to join the Sheriff’s elite team!

The appointment – at his request – was finally made for November 8 at noon.

I waited at the restaurant for an hour.

Like a fucking idiot.

He didn’t show.

Later, a text message came with some excuse.

And an assurance that it won’t happen again.

I had changed my travel to accommodate his request.

And this was what he did to me.

An email came later – repeating the assurance and a request for another appointment – this time for November 25.

I replied in the affirmative asking for the place and time.

Silence for two weeks.

Then on the day of November 25 itself, an email sent to me on his behalf again offering some excuse for not being able to make it.

I had again shifted my travel to accommodate his request for an appointment.

And it has happened again.

Do you think I’ll ever want to see this fucking retard again?

Nope, he’s been moved to my Shit List.

Screw me once, shame on you; screw me twice, shame on me.

Dangerous Curves

I just wanted to give a quick shout out to Roz the Diva, who now has a DOCUMENTARY about her!  While people like me just talk about plus sized pole dancing, people like Roz are actually out there doing it.  This girl is in the news constantly.  I am so proud of her!

I first blogged about Roz back in 2011.  Since then, although we are on opposite coasts, we have connected in person probably half a dozen times.  I always enjoy her as both a fun friend to hang out with, and a good instructor who understands how my body works.

When she said she was leaving her "safe" 9-5 job to be a full time fitness instructor, I thought she was crazy.  But its been quite awhile and she is still rocking it.  I know she works her ass off and I respect her for that.

Please check out the video below and support her workshops!

What Does wire fence dmz korea Mean?

Easy (or simple) wire is actually exactly the same item as barbed wire with no barbs – either a two-wire twist or a single strand. Its Key benefit is that it's less likely to cause lacerations and cuts if an animal gets to be entangled in it or rubs in opposition to it. Even so, animals will commonly lean on gentle metal smooth wire, stretching it away from form or loosening it from the posts, and For that reason it is commonly Employed in high-tensile variety, which a lot more easily springs back to its authentic length.

We will foundation the rest of this information on the idea that you'll use one of those helpful a single-guy wire stretchers, as Rick does, so we won't say any more about two-in-a-row supports.

The Industrial Revolution introduced the primary barbed wire (also "barbwire" or perhaps "barb") fences, which ended up commonly utilised just after their introduction while in the mid-19th century. This engineering designed it economically feasible to fence rangeland for The very first time. In The us, introduction of barbed wire contributed into the variety wars of that century, as various ranch passions tried to use barbed wire fences to claim unique use of the ideal pasture and water resources, such as These lands in the general public domain.

We are searching for an invisible fence but we don’t have any notion which one particular might be improved for our super Lively mad Doggy . I'm fearful that my Pet dog won’t care with regard to the shots and he will operate absent. Any suggestions?

Acquiring the best tools makes fence building less difficult and look here speedier. We propose employing two stretcher bars and pulling the wire to the center. Splicing is much simpler employing a multi-crimp tool and sleeves.

I'd guess the PVC, which I would run the wire by, sits eight-twelve″ under the area. Is that sufficient to create a useless place for your Canine to securely cross without correction?

A very different bracing procedure—and one which also functions just fine—involves location two posts pretty close with each other (six' or significantly less for a four'-tall fence), nailing a horizontal

High tensile (H-T or HT) fencing is usually a Unique really hard, springy steel wire which was launched within the nineteen seventies and it has slowly but surely gained acceptance. The wire could be a one strand basic or barbed wire, or woven mesh, and is also effective at A lot higher tension than moderate steel.

Evaluate the distance from the string to the center stake and use the following desk to determine post spacing.

Synthetic web or rope with thin metal wires interwoven to hold the electrical charge has grown to be common recently, especially wherever additional visibility is wished-for.

The wire does will need to connect to the transmitter. Plenty of people that place the transmitter of their house will possibly go through an current hole (just like a ventilation shaft, or under a door), or they'll produce a new gap by drilling by way of a wall to make a little portal and then caulking to fill in any surplus Area.

Travel your staples in at a slightly of vertical angle, so the two ends is not going to operate in the best site identical grain of wood.

Also I’ve read the wire must not run parallel to electric wires Unless of course These are about 6 feet aside. Now we have wires that slowly transfer in closer to our garage to where it goes slightly over the back again close of it Therefore the fence and wires would criss-cross but not be perfectly perpendicular.

Now splice the many sections of wire collectively and link wikipedia reference them to your transmitter box. Energy over the transmitter box. The transmitter ought to need to present that everything is Alright (commonly indicated by a green light).
