There’s something great about writing with music. If I’m starting a new piece and some good R&B is playing, I always feel a boost of motivation to type with the mellowness that is Luther Vandross or Maxwell. If I’ve been struggling to get through a hump and I hear TSwift’s catchy pop lyrics, I can’t help but feel some little nudge to keep writing to get over it. And, hearing Anberlin as I am erasing lines for a poem makes the atmosphere that much better and challenges me to think about what I’m really trying to say.
Currently, I’m shuffling through Taylor Swift, Amy Winehouse, Paramore, and Beyoncé. I am on a female-led, strong vocals vibe while I write this short blog post. The difference between each artist mentioned inspired me to write this post on how music influences my writing and me.
As I’ve said before, the type of music that I am listening to changes the way that I approach writing and how I feel about what I am doing. If I am feeling stuck, it wouldn’t help me much to listen to some really great, but depressing song like “Let Go” by James Bay. However, if my mind is sporadic, listening to Calvin Harris isn’t going to make it any better. Picking the right tunes for what you’re going to be doing is crucial to productivity and just, overall, happiness.
I’m not going to say that having music playing in the background is the best way to write. Actually, there are times when I think it’s distracting and I end up paying attention to the songs more than what I’m supposed to be doing. That’s when I need to turn it off and just focus on my own words and my inner voice (I tend to read out loud, which makes writing in public a little embarrassing at times).
But, music and writing just can’t be another way to write – at least to me. There are pieces that could not have come alive without the jazzy improvisations of Amy or Duke Ellington. Without London Grammar or Empire of the Sun, some stories would be boring and incomplete.
What are you listening to these days?

“Cop a feel” seating.
Quite frankly, I think I’d be happier with those seats then the current ones.
At least with those standing saddles I can periodically move my legs to regain bloodflow.
Aren’t there supposed to be oars on this? And a big guy with a drum?
I think they’re missing a real chance here. Rather than arraying passengers in only two dimensions, they really ought to be utilizing the vertical dimension as well. I suggest that planes be outfitted with rows of tubular berths stacked three or four high. Or better still, passengers could be drugged before they embark, and just stacked in the plane like cordwood. They’d just go to sleep at one end and awaken in the recovery lounge at their destination.
At least our aerospace companies aren’t content to leave the field of soul-sucking discomfort to bus-shelter designers.
Would these (I’m struggling to call them ) seats offer any protection in the event of a crash? The seat back in a conventional airliner does a good job of protecting your spine, this looks like it’s designed to snap it cleanly.
RyanAir is going to love it.
Personally I would hate to see the “improvement” made to this patent that allowed Boeing to avoid litigation.

Progress continues to be made on renovations of Geyer Hall as North Central Missouri College officials expect the building to be ready by mid-August, with the Fall classes beginning August 22.
College President Lenny Klaver presented his report on the Geyer Hall project to the NCMC Board of Trustees. It included many “punch list” items yet to be completed by the general contractor and subcontractors.
Doctor Klaver told Trustees that the general contractor from Kirksville has been advised that the college faculty would like to be in the Geyer Hall building by August 15th.
Trustees also were advised the existing stored furniture is to be moved back this week.
Teresa Cross reported members of the NCMC Foundation will tour Geyer Hall before their August quarterly board meeting. She noted the Geyer Hall capital campaign now totals more than five million $584,000 in donations and pledges.
Doctor Klaver discussed with Trustees, the legislative agenda for community college presidents and the MCCA task force mission review. Locally, he talked about planning crisis communications, the ag curriculum, and the college admissions team.

The year 1961 begins a nationwide centenary observance of the War Between the States, and Bay Ridge has its reminder in “Old Big Mouth,” a 20-inch cannon that still stands menacingly outside the walls of Fort Hamilton.
Once considered the most destructive weapon of its day, the monster cannon now serves as a plaything for neighborhood children.
Before being covered by a protective plate, the 20-inch bore of Old Big Mouth was a place to crawl into, but also a place from which once thundered a half-ton iron ball propelled by one hundred pounds of powder. Its back is now worn smooth by the trouser pants of generations of Bay Ridge boys.
It has been fired only a few times and a report to the War Department by ordnance officers after firing trials in 1867 said that the results were inconclusive. And Old Big Mouth was stilled thereafter.
Construction of the cannon is credited to Brig. Gen. Thomas Jefferson Rodman of the Ordnance Dept. In 1844 he began a series of tests on the metal of cannon and developed a theory of casting a gun with a hollow case and cooling it with a stream of water or cold air passed through it.
Then a lieutenant, Rodman supervised construction of the weapon in 1864 at Fort Pitt, Pittsburgh, where it was hailed as the biggest gun in the world. Up to that time, a 15-inch gun was considered supreme. Old Big Mouth was mounted soon after its construction at Fort Hamilton to protect New York harbor.
On Oct. 26, 1864, at its first firing trial, an excursion steamer, the “Bronx,” sailed from the Battery to Fort Hamilton with more than 1,000 persons aboard. They cheered – and jeered.
The great gun’s first discharge was a blank cartridge propelled by 100 pounds of powder. The gun boomed, recoiled two feet, and disappointed watchers, who had expected a bigger noise.
An hour later – the time it took to reload – Big Mouth was crammed with 50 pounds of powder and a solid iron ball weighing 1,800 lbs. The gun was aimed straight at Staten Island and touched off.
The shot traveled one-quarter of a mile, bounced a few times on the water, and sank. The crowd aboard the “Bronx” was unimpressed.
For the next trial, the cannon was stuffed with 100 pounds of powder and a ball weighing 1,080 lbs. Its barrel was elevated 25 degrees, and once again the gun boomed, this time with astounding force.
Listeners clapped their hands to their ears. The shot traveled about four miles, and landed 27 seconds later in the lower bay. The gun recoiled four and one-half feet.
These were the only times Old Big Mouth was fired during the Civil War, mainly due to difficulty in finding targets which would stand up enough after being hit to be inspected. In March 1867, it was fired four times, reaching a maximum range of 8,000 yards, but the ordnance condemned Big Mouth as a weapon of war.
Old Big Mouth was fired, for the last time, on the arrival of the Statue of Liberty in the hold of the French ship “Isere.” It was then moved into the park, where it now stands, overlooking construction of the new Narrows Bridge.
As a defensive weapon, Old Big Mouth may have been a flop, but to the kids of Bay Ridge it is still the “biggest gun in the whole world.”

MORE than 200 million shares in Bank of Ireland changed hands in the last two days, as investors fought to get their piece of the stock ahead of this morning's rights issue and share placement announcements.
The announcements will reveal whether the State's stake in the bank will be closer to 15pc or 32pc and whether the new investment consortium buying into BoI will end up with a stake of closer to 14pc or 37pc.
Both outcomes depend on how many of the bank's shareholders took up the opportunity to buy new share in the bank at 10c apiece, since any shares not bought by them can be passed on to the State and the new consortium.
BoI was still crunching the numbers last night and a spokesman said the bank couldn't comment in advance of this morning's announcement.
Market sources said that while shareholders had initially shunned the rights issue, a number of them had changed their minds after Monday's announcement that a consortium was prepared to put up to €1.1bn into the bank.
The make-up of the consortium, headed up by Canadian insurance giant Fairfax Financial, won't be formally revealed until later in the week when each member will have to declare their interest in the bank in a Stock Exchange announcement.
Despite initial reports of up to 10 investors involved, sources yesterday suggested as few as five were in the final shake-up.
The Irish Independent understands that members of the consortium will take a "fairly even share", although Fairfax is in the lead position.
Each investor will hold their shares individually, so there will be no need for approval from the Central Bank, which only becomes involved when a 10pc threshold is crossed.
Bank of Ireland chief executive Richie Boucher will keep the bank out of state control

A South African doctor is handing out an anti-rape condom to women during the World Cup in an effort to help women there combat sexual assaults in a country that has one of the highest rape rates in the world.
The device’s creator, Dr. Sonnet Ehlers (depicted above with the device) said the condom, called Rape-aXe, is similar to when a man catches his penis in a zipper.
"Rape-aXe will have the same effect, just worse," she says in the Q&A portion at the condom's website.
Ethers says the condom is completely safe for women, but will inflict serious pain on a male perpetrator, even more so if he tries to escape:
“It hurts, he cannot pee and walk when it’s on,” she told CNN yesterday. “If he tries to remove it, it will clasp even tighter...however, it doesn’t break the skin, and there’s no danger of fluid exposure.”
She said she sold her house and car to launch the project, which will enable her to hand out 30,000 free condoms during the World Cup, which wraps up July 11. After that, the anti-rape condoms will be available for $2 each.
South Africa has one of the highest rape rates in the world. A 2009 report by the nation's Medical Research Council found that 28 percent of men surveyed had raped a woman or girl, with one in 20 saying they had raped in the past year, according to Human Rights Watch.
It is also believed that 16 percent of the population is living with HIV.
In most African countries, rape convictions are uncommon. Affected women don't get immediate access to medical care, and DNA tests to provide evidence are too expensive.
"Women and girls who experience these violations are denied justice, factors that contribute to the normalization of rape and violence in South African society," Human Rights Watch says.
Women take drastic measures to prevent rape in South Africa, Ehlers said, with some wearing extra tight biker shorts and others inserting razor blades wrapped in sponges in their private parts.
Critics have accused her of developing a medieval device to fight rape.
"Yes, my device may be a medieval, but it's for a medieval deed that has been around for decades," she said. "I believe something's got to be done...and this will make some men rethink before they assault a woman."
Human Rights Watch also notes arrest and conviction rates for attackers are extremely low and the victims of sexual assault often face numerous obstacles in accessing health care.
She hopes the condom will be worn by women as a preventative measure. She said she’s talked to convicted rapists in jail to see if such a device would make them think twice about their actions, and she said some of them said it would:
“The ideal situation would be for a woman to wear this when she’s going out on some kind of blind date...or to an area she’s not comfortable with,” she said.
The condom is inserted into a woman the same way she'd use a tampon. It is a latex condom worn by females who feel in danger of being raped. The device features jagged rows of teeth-like hooks that will latch on to a man’s penis upon penetration When an attacker penetrates the woman, the condom attaches to his penis with barbs that are found inside the condom.
Rape-aXe causes the attacker discomfort. If a man tries to take the condom off, it will become even tighter. Once the spikes attach to a man’s penis, only a doctor can remove it, something Ethers hopes will be done by authorities upon arrest.
The company's website says while the condom won't prevent the attack, it can help prevent the spread of sexually transmitted infections, such as HIV, and unwanted pregnancies resulting from rape.
As well, because a doctor has to remove the condom, the hope is that authorities will catch more attackers.
Ehlers was on call one night four decades ago when a devastated rape victim walked in. Her eyes were lifeless; she was like a breathing corpse.
"She looked at me and said, 'If only I had teeth down there,'" recalled Ehlers, who was a 20-year-old medical researcher at the time. "I promised her I'd do something to help people like her one day." Forty years later, Rape-aXe was born.
"I consulted engineers, gynecologists and psychologists to help in the design and make sure it was safe," she said.
Her advice to men who don't want to be on the receiving end of Rape-aXe: "Don't put what belongs to you where it does not belong and you will never run into trouble."
But critics say the condom puts its women users in even more danger because instead of being able to run away and escape the perpetrator, he is stuck inside of the victim until authorities can be reached. Thus, women are even more vulnerable to the rapist trapped by the device, and remains so as he grapples with the reality of getting caught and convicted. That scenario could result in an even more violent outcome.
Critics add that this female condom is not a long-term solution.
It's also a form of "enslavement," said Victoria Kajja, a fellow for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the east African country of Uganda. "The fears surrounding the victim, the act of wearing the condom in anticipation of being assaulted all represent enslavement that no woman should be subjected to."
Kajja said the device constantly reminds women of their vulnerability.
"It not only presents the victim with a false sense of security, but psychological trauma," she added. "It also does not help with the psychological problems that manifest after assaults."
Various rights organizations that work in South Africa declined to comment, including Human Rights Watch and Care International.
This is one of those stories that is so far removed from my personal reality/experience that it’s impossible to comment on its pros and cons in an analytical way, so I am going to comment solely based on emotion. (I was repeatedly molested as a child, but I have never been raped, nor have I ever been threatened with rape.)
It is inconceivable to me that I would live somewhere that I would have to even consider inserting razor blades into my own vagina to protect me from being raped if I went outside to events. This condom with teeth beats the hell out of that.
It worries me that the vicious rapist would remain glued to me, intimately, or if freed would know he might be arrested because of the device. Might some guy who was willing to rape me, also be willing to kill me to prevent being arrested?
One critic said this is not a long-term solution. No damn kidding. But I say until that society ensures the safety of its female populace from sexual assault, women there have an undeniable right to protect themselves in any way they see fit.
Thanks to my dear friend, SurvivingSurvival for directing me to this important account.

Nigeria’s government, one of the world’s most interested in cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, passed a national blockchain policy at its meeting on May 3, 2023. The clearance came in response to a document given by Minister of Communications and Digital Economy Isa Ali Ibrahim.
The Federal Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy (FMCDE) cited a PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) report in the announcement, predicting that widespread adoption of blockchain technology across various industries could potentially contribute $1.76 trillion to global GDP by 2030, representing 1.4% of global GDP.
Read Also: The Impact of Blockchain Technology on the Music Industry
The national blockchain strategy was established by the FMCDE through stakeholder discussions in both the public and business sectors.
According to a draft of the blockchain adoption strategy published in October 2020, blockchain and decentralized ledger technology will “facilitate the development of the Nigerian digital economy.”
The strategy aspires to create a blockchain-based economy that allows for safe transactions, data sharing, and value exchange between individuals, corporations, and the government. The policy’s execution is projected to benefit both the public and private sectors in Nigeria.
Under the direction of the FMCDE, the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) will be in charge of coordinating policy initiatives. A multi-sectoral steering committee has also been formed to oversee policy implementation.
The Federal Executive Council has directed relevant regulatory bodies, including NITDA, the Central Bank of Nigeria, the National Universities Commission, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Nigerian Communications Commission, to develop regulatory frameworks for the use of blockchain technology in various sectors of the economy.

Initiatives aimed at establishing a blockchain consortium in Nigeria, strengthening the regulatory and legal framework, promoting digital identity, creating blockchain business incentive programs, fostering digital literacy and awareness of blockchain technology, and establishing a national blockchain sandbox for testing and piloting are all part of the blockchain adoption strategy.
Despite this new policy, transactions using cryptocurrency remain illegal in the country.


ROCKPORT — A dead whale, estimated to be about 54 foot long, lied sprawled across a Penzance Road beachfront Monday after washing up over the weekend, drawing spectators from Rockport and from beyond Cape Ann.
But, there will be more time to view the whale, since that beachfront is where it will stay until nature takes its course, officials are saying.
Rockport’s Department of Public Works, in conjunction with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, was tasked with disposing the carcass, after the whale — estimated to have been dead for two to three weeks — rolled onto the rocky, jagged beachfront Saturday morning.
The carcass is located on town-owned property that is situated among a handful of homes, less than about 50 feet from the closest home. In the past, Rockport officials have buried smaller whales that washed up on beaches, but because large equipment would be unable to reach this beach, DPW Director Joe Parisi said officials have little choice but to let the carcass deteriorate and wash out to sea bit by bit.
“This whale is pretty large and in a difficult location so the options aren’t the same,” Parisi said. “It’s nearly impossible.”
Neither NOAA nor the Public Works department had a plan for diluting the stench of the rotting carcass, either. But Parisi is hopeful that the oncoming cold weather will tamper the smell.
“It’s not the heart of the beach season and it’s not in a location where people are going to the beach,” Parisi added
Volunteers from the New England Aquarium traveled to Rockport Saturday morning to measure the whale, examine it and attempt to determine what had happened to the male animal, according to Tony LaCasse of the New England Aquarium.
“Our job is we are essentially the whale coroner,” LaCasse said. “This whale is too old to have any significant findings.”

Ireland right-back Cyrus Christie gave us a glimpse as to why he won Derby's young player of the year award this season as he made the first goal happen with a fantastic run and an excellent cross, eventually finished off by Johnny Russell:
Great stuff Cyrus!
An Andrew Robertson own goal then brought Derby right back into it:
A great first half from Derby, if they can turn this around it will fully justify the use of the #IstanHull hashtag doing the rounds on social media.

We’re dark this week. Next week we’ll be back and featuring Joel Sass and an interrupting washing machine.
Since you have free time on your hands that you may have spent listening to the show, I ask that you do a few things:
1) Join my Facebook group. Right now I’m testing out organizing theatre-related events through it. We went to Murderess on April 1st, and next month we’ll be having a book discussion surrounding Haruki Murakami’s after the quake to coincide with Walking Shadow’s stage production.
2) Follow me on Twitter. I tend to RT theater events and news in the community. I also try to be as funny as improv artists and comedians. I have no training in those areas, so you can imagine how that goes.
3) Subscribe, Rate and Review the podcast on iTunes. (Man, I need a new podcast logo. That’s 2+ years old now.)
4) Get out there and see some shows!
Do these and I’ll be eternally grateful. Or until I ask you to do them again. Whichever comes first.

Editor's Note: This article is part of our annual Women in Charity series. Check back throughout the month for more stories of dynamic Muslim women working in various charitable endeavors and why they do what they do.
Learning is an essential part of the Islamic faith. The Prophet Muhammad (saw) encouraged his followers to continually learn by saying:
“Seeking knowledge is an obligation upon every Muslim.” [Sunan Ibn Mājah 224]
Muslim women remain at the forefront of establishing educational systems and learning opportunities for our youth in the United States. The first Muslim school
was located in the home of Clara Muhammad, where she served as a teacher. And, Muslim women of different backgrounds continue to serve as school administrators, teachers and supporters of various Islamic schools throughout the country. Umm Juwayriyah (Maryam Sullivan) is one of these fantastic Muslim women educators who strives to make sure Muslim children receive an education that centers them and their identities as worshippers of Allah (S). Her program, Muslim Girls Read
[MGR], promotes literacy to Muslim children.
Umm Juwayriyah has been a teacher in public and Islamic schools for decades. She has spent more than 20 years honing her writing talents to help her community and show that there are no limitations for a Muslim woman with drive. She is also a published author
who established the foundations for Islamic urban fiction writing.
She is an educator and the owner of Kanz Enrichment
online, a supplemental educational service. Her dedication to education and writing makes her a gem to American Muslim culture and a leader in the area of Muslim literature and literacy in the country.
Umm Juwayriyah launched the Muslim Girls Read program, which is based in Massachusetts, to provide children in inner-city Islamic schools with Muslim-authored and themed books where they see themselves, learn about their faith and embrace their identities as Muslims.
In addition to providing books to Islamic schools, Muslim Girls Read offers workshops to Muslim children, parents and educators. They have weekly online ta’leems (learning circles), book clubs and their Global Pen Pals Connect program, all for free.
I spoke with Umm Juwayriyah about Muslim Girls Read and why she started this initiative, the challenges she and her team have encountered, and why promoting literacy through a Muslim lens is so critical for the education and mental health of young girls and women.
Why 'Muslim Girls Read'
Umm Juwayriyah shared with me the catalyst for her launching Muslim Girls Read.
“About seven years ago, when I was living in Kuwait, a young single Muslim mother in Philadelphia suffered a fire in her apartment,” she explains. “She requested books for her 8-year-old daughter because all of their books were lost in the fire. Her daughter loved to read and she had a great collection of books. [From that situation], Muslim Girls Read, Inc came to life, and we donated 25 books to the family.
Ilm Academy students benefit from books proviced through Muslim Girls Read.
“It opened our eyes and hearts to the lack of literary resources,” she says, “especially Muslim-authored books, that American Muslims in the inner-city don't have access to.”
According to Umm Juwayriyah, the organization has provided books to individual families, libraries and more than 15 Muslim schools in cities like Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Atlanta, Houston and Indianapolis. Muslim books authored by Muslims are integral to our children’s education, Umm Juwayriyah explains.
“Books written by Muslims and featuring Muslim characters are important to Muslim children's literacy development and overall education because the representation and culturally relevant and responsive narratives affirm and allow children to relate content to their cultural context,” she says.
This helps ensure that Muslim children see themselves and their faith in the pages they are reading and encourages their learning about Islam, says Umm Juwayriyah which in turn can help boost their reading development and foster their Muslim identities. Considering all this, providing books with Muslim characters and written by Muslims is just as important as the Islamic learning institutions across the country, she argues.
Islamic Schools Need Books
Many Muslim schools struggle financially to keep their doors open. Things like supplies, including books, remain in demand. Umm Juwayriyah elaborates on why getting books into schools is hard, but she continues the work.
“Money is the biggest challenge MGR faces in getting Muslim-authored books into Muslim schools,” she says. “Muslim schools are private, nonprofit entities already operating at a deficit. They don't get sponsorships through the big box publishers, so there aren't any connections to authors for book readings or giveaways.”
She adds, “Muslim authors aren't incentivized to donate their work because Muslim schools aren't included in marketing promotions. Self-published Muslim authors don't often have the means to giveaway books.
“[Unfortunately] there aren't any other nonprofits doing the work MGR does that we can collaborate with to expand our reach. But, Alhamdulillah, now that MGR has gained 501c3 status, we are diligently working on expanding our marketing, creating significant gifts campaigns, looking out for grants and improving our communication and presence in the global Muslim community,” says Umm Juwayriyah.
“This year, Insha'Allah, Muslim Girls Read, Inc. is preparing for our first in-person Spring Fling Formal for Muslim teens, a Ramadan iftar and staging our first play written and directed by Muslim youth in the DMV (Washington Metropolitan Area).”
Muslim Girls Read continues to work to provide families and institutions with Muslim books. Their dedication is integral to culturally-specific literacy in American Muslim school systems. Educators and many parents understand the vital role of books in their children’s lives. Literary initiatives like Muslim Girls Reads and the work of Umm Juwayriyah remain critical to promoting Muslim children learning to love reading, their faith and themselves.
If you want to support the work of Umm Juwayriyah and Muslim Girls Read in any capacity, please email them at email@example.com,

Topic(s): Health Information Technology, Hospitals and Clinics
Author(s): Casey M, Sorensen T, Elias W, Knudson A, Gregg W.
Abstract: Telepharmacy initiatives in rural hospitals were identified through a survey of the 50 state offices of rural health. Telephone interviews were conducted with board of pharmacy directors in selected states with successful telepharmacy programs. Interviews were also conducted with the individual hospitals regarding the type of telepharmacy activities, funding, and impact on medication safety. The information was analyzed to identify themes and to assess whether state laws and regulations followed recommendations by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) and the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists. Although telepharmacy is addressed in NABP’s model pharmacy practice act, many state boards are just beginning to address it. The model act addresses the practice of pharmacy across state lines, and the state board directors interviewed generally agreed that pharmacists should be licensed in the state where they are providing the service. States differed on whether a pharmacist should be required to be physically located in a licensed pharmacy and how much time the pharmacist should have to spend onsite. Telepharmacy models being implemented in hospitals in several states incorporate long-distance supervision of pharmacy technicians by pharmacists. The models being implemented vary according to area, state regulations, hospital ownership, and hospital size and medication order volume. Most hospitals reported that they track medication error rates, and some said error rates have improved since telepharmacy implementation.The application of telepharmacy in rural hospitals varies across the United States but is not widespread, and many states have not defined regulations for telepharmacy in hospitals.

Unable to read other players' cards
I am only able to see my own cards identified by the codex. Other players can see my cards, and each others' cards, but nothing happens if I click on theirs, in any view.
I've tried on Chrome and Firefox, incognito and not, accepted every cookie and enabled every permission, disabled every extension, and still no results.
I attempted to open two support tickets, but they were deleted (not closed; they no longer appear in my activity history) without any response.
This is really killing my ability to enjoy the game, because I keep having to interrupt more veteran players to get them to explain to me every little thing.

Dysmenorrhea (Menstrual cramps) are throbbing or cramping pains in the lower abdomen. Many women suffer from menstrual cramps just before and during menstrual periods.
For some women, the discomfort is merely annoying. For others, menstrual cramps may be serious enough to interfere with the daily activities every month for a few days.
Menstrual cramps can be caused by conditions such as endometriosis or uterine fibroids. Treating the cause is the key to diminishing pain. Menstrual cramps not caused by another disease tend to decrease with age, and sometimes improve after birth.
Chances are, you know all too well how it feels. You may have:
- Aching pain in your belly (sometimes severe)
- Feeling of pressure in your belly
- Hip pain, lower back pain and inner thighs
When cramps are severe, symptoms may include:
- Upset stomach, sometimes with vomiting
- Loose stools
When to call a doctor
If your ability to perform simple tasks each month interferes with menstrual discomfort, it might be time to speak to a gynaecologist.
Talk to your doctor about your symptoms and if you experience any of the following:
- Continuing pain after IUD placement
- At least three painful menstrual periods
- Passing blood clots
- Cramping accompanied by diarrhea and nausea
- Pelvic pain when not menstruating
Sudden cramping or pelvic pain may be indications of infection. An untreated infection can cause scar tissue damaging the pelvic organs and leading to infertility.
If you have signs of infection seek medical attention urgently:
- Severe pelvic pain
- Foul-smelling vaginal discharge
- Sudden pain particularly if you are pregnant
Causes of Menstrual Pain
Menstrual cramps are caused by contractions (tightening) of a chemical called prostaglandin in the uterus (which is a muscle). The uterus, in which a baby grows, contracts during the menstrual cycle of a woman. During menstruation, the uterus contracts more strongly. If the uterus contracts too hard, it may strain against nearby blood vessels, cutting off the oxygen supply to the uterus muscle tissue. Pain results when a part of the muscle loses its oxygen supply briefly.
You could face menstrual cramps if:
- You bleed heavily during periods (menorrhagia)
- You have irregular menstrual bleeding (metrorrhagia)
- You have a family history of menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea)
- You’re younger than age 30
- You started puberty early, at age 11 or older
- You smoke
Severe dysmenorrhea can cause severe symptoms which impair the ability of a female to participate in her daily activities. Severe dysmenorrhea is a leading cause of females absence from work or school.
Maintaining a healthy diet and keeping up a regular exercise regimen can go a long way toward preventing menstrual pain. A 2016 study of 250 women found significant differences between period pain in women who maintained a healthy lifestyle and those who didnâ€™t.
Read on for specific diet and exercise tips.
A diet geared to decreasing menstrual pain should generally be high in minimally processed foods, fibre, and plants.
Give these foods a try:
- Papaya is rich in vitamins.
- Brown rice contains vitamin B-6 which can lower bloating levels.
- Walnuts, almonds, and pumpkin seeds are rich in manganese, which eases cramps.
- Olive oil and broccoli contain vitamin E.
- Chicken, fish and green leafy vegetables contain iron which is lost during menstrual periods.
- Flaxseed contains omega-3s with antioxidant properties, which reduce swelling and inflammation.
Boron: This mineral helps your body absorb calcium and phosphorus. It also reduces menstrual cramps: A 2015 study that looked at 113 university students found that boron reduced the intensity and length of menstrual pain. Foods with a high concentration of boron include:
- Peanut Butter
You can also take boron supplements if your diet doesnâ€™t provide enough. However, you should consult your doctor before taking boron supplements. Discover how boron helps the brains and bones, too.
Water: drinking water keeps your body from retaining water and helps to avoid painful bloating during menstruation. For cramps, warm or hot water is usually better, as hot fluids increase blood flow to your skin and may relax cramped muscles.
You can also eat foods made from water to increase your hydration, including:
- Berries, Including Strawberries, Blueberries, And Raspberries
Calcium: This mineral can help reduce menstrual muscle cramping. Foods high in calcium include:
- Dairy Products
- Sesame Seeds
- Leafy Green Vegetables
Calcium is also available in supplement form. But speak to your doctor before taking supplements to find out if itâ€™s safe for you.
You may not like the idea of exercising immediately before or during your period. But exercise releases endorphins.
It is effective at reducing menstrual pain to the extent it may also eliminate or reduce the need for pain-relief medication. In place of more strenuous exercise, mild exercise such as walking may be helpful during your time span.
Yoga is a gentle workout that often activates endorphins and helps avoid or lessen the effects of menstruation. Researchers found three different yoga poses â€” Cobra, Cat, and Fish â€” significantly reduced intensity and duration of pain during menstruation for young women ages 18 to 22.

Victor Manuel Mendiola was born in Mexico City in 1954 and is the author of numerous poetry books, anthologies (including Sol de mi Antojo, of homoerotic poetry; El Corazon Prestado, of poetry with pre-Columbian themes; and Tres Caminos, of Jewish Literature in Mexico), and books of literary criticism. In 2003 the UNAM University Press published his complete works, Tan Oro y Ogro. Mendiola is a member of Mexico’s Sistema Nacional de Creadores and in 2005 he was awarded the Latino Literary Prize that is given by the Latin-American Institute of Writers in New York. It is important to note that in 1981 Juan Rulfo awarded Mendiola one of Mexico’s most prestigious grants. As editor and publisher, Mendiola founded the Ediciones el Tucan de Virginia poetry press twenty-six years ago, which to date has published over two hundred books of poetry by poets from all over the world. Mendiola was president of Mexico’s PEN Club (under his direction the PEN centre for Cubans in exile was founded) and the Rockefeller Foundation gave Swanscythe Press a grant to publish Mendiola’s poetry in the United States.

Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) systems can track transit vehicles in real time. Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) software is used to monitor transit operations and assist management of transit operations. Together with AVL systems, CAD software can be used to replace a disabled vehicle by dispatching another vehicle, or meet fluctuating travel demand by adjusting transit headways, schedules, and routes. AVL and CAD technologies can vitalize transit by directly improving on-time performance, increasing transit efficiency through providing dispatchers with location, direction and status information, and reducing operating costs through reducing dependence on transit field supervisory personnel. Direct benefits to travelers can include higher reliability of travel times and reduced stress in dealing with transit unreliability. This study explores the development, availability, and impacts of AVL/CAD technologies as reported by AVL vendors and transit implementers. The study defines the key features, functions, and performance characteristics of AVL/CAD technologies that can influence the level of benefits realized. The AVL/CAD implementation context is explored by examining where, when, and for what users these systems are being implemented. The results of two surveys are reported. To explore the availability of AVL/CAD systems, technology suppliers were surveyed. Suppliers identified the features, functions, and performance of available AVL/CAD technologies. To determine the extent of AVL/CAD deployment, transit operators were surveyed regarding their experiences with AVL/CAD technologies and the subsequent impacts on travelers and transit agency performance. This research provides a systematic method for evaluation of AVL/CAD systems and reports the perceptions of AVL/CAD vendors and transit implementers regarding available products and their impacts. The results suggest a need for better tools to characterize and quantify the impacts and benefits of AVL/CAD systems.

Radon gas is the result of the radioactive decay of radium-226, an element that can be found in varying concentrations throughout many soils and bedrock. Figure 31.1 shows the series of elements that begins with uranium-238, and, after undergoing a series of radioactive decays, leads eventually to lead-210. At the time radium decays to become radon gas, energy is released.9 Of all the elements
and isotopes illustrated in Figure 31.1, radon is the only one that behaves like a gas and can easily slip through the small spaces between bits of soil. While many of the isotopes in the uranium-238 decay series exist for a long time before they decay, radon does not remain radon for very long. It has a half-life of 3.8 days. If 1 lb of radon were put in a jar, 3.8 days later, only 1/2 lb of radon would be left; the other 1/2 lb would have decayed into short-lived decay products, namely, polonium,
bismuth, and lead. After another 3.8 days, only 1/4 lb of radon would be left in the jar. The radon decay products shown inside the building have even shorter half-lives than radon, and decay within a few hours to the relatively stable isotope lead-2l0. It is this rapid release of energy that causes radon and radon decay products to pose such a significant health risk.
If radon and radon decay products are present in the air, they will be inhaled. Because the decay products are not gases, they will stick to lung tissue or larger airborne particles that later lodge in the lung. The energy given off as these isotopes decay can strike the cells in the lung, damage tissue, and may eventually develop into lung cancer. The amount of risk depends on how long a person is exposed to how high a concentration of radon and radon decay products. Estimates of the number of lung cancer deaths in the United States attributable to radon and radon decay products range from 5000 to 20,000 deaths per year.9 In all, 1.2 million new homes have been built with radon-resistant features since 1990. U.S. EPA continues to focus its risk reduction on mitigating existing homes and building new radon-resistant homes. As a result of these actions through 2003, U.S. EPA estimates that as many as 650 future lung cancer deaths are prevented (lives saved) each year.10
31.2.2 Radon Entry into Buildings A house will contain radon if the following four conditions exist:
1. A source of radium exists to produce radon.
2. A pathway exists from the radium to the building.
3. A driving force exists to move the radon to the building.
4. An opening in the house exists to permit radon to enter.
If one of these conditions does not exist, then the building will not have a radon problem. An estimated 10-20% of the existing homes in the United States have annual average radon concentrations above 4pCi/L. This may seem like a small percentage of problem homes until one considers that, of the million or so U.S. houses built each year, 100,000-200,000 homes will likely have radon concentrations higher than 4pCi/L. Similar radon problems do exist in commercial and industrial buildings with basements.
The most common way radon enters a building is when lower indoor air pressure draws air from the soil, bedrock, or drainage system into the house. If there is radon in the soil gas, it will also be drawn in. Just as gravity will make water flow from a high elevation to a lower elevation, pressure differences will make radon-laden air move from an area of higher pressure to an area of lower pressure. For a variety of reasons, most buildings tend to maintain an indoor air pressure lower than outdoor air pressure. If cracks and holes in the foundation are open to the soil, radon will be drawn indoors. Radon movement by pressure differences is called pressure-driven transport.
Radon can also enter buildings when there are no pressure differences. Place a drop of food coloring in a glass of water; eventually, the coloring will spread out (diffuse) and color the water— even without stirring. Radon will do the same thing—spread from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration until the concentrations are equal. Radon movement in this way is called diffusion-driven transport.
A less common entry mechanism is the outgassing of radon from well water. A well supplied by groundwater that is in contact with a radium-bearing formation can transport the dissolved radon into the home. It is estimated that the health risks associated with breathing radon gas released from the water are 10 times higher than the risks associated with ingesting water containing radon.9
Radon can also emanate from the building materials themselves. The extent of the use of radium-contaminated building materials is unknown but is generally believed to be small.
Figure 31.2 illustrates the percentages of contribution by each type of radon entry made to a specific group of study houses in the Pacific NW.11 Any one house can vary significantly from these figures. However, on a national basis, this is an indication of the relative importance of each of the contributors.
Figures 31.3 through 31.5 illustrate typical radon entry routes found in basement, crawlspace, and slab-on-grade construction, respectively.

FRONTLINE Plus for Dogs Flea and Tick Treatment
FRONTLINE Plus for Dogs provides fast, effective and convenient treatment and control of fleas and ticks for dogs and puppies. FRONTLINE Plus stops and prevents infestations and kills adult fleas, flea eggs, and flea larvae. This effective flea treatment prevents all flea stages (eggs, larvae, pupae) from developing and kills fleas that may cause flea allergy dermatitis. Frontline flea and tick treatment also kills all stages of deer ticks (which may carry Lyme disease), brown dog ticks, American dog ticks, and lone star ticks, while preventing and controlling re-infestations. Ticks are more than a nuisance- in some cases, they may transmit serious diseases to your dog or even to you. To kill ticks that may carry and transmit these serious diseases, count on the control of FRONTLINE Plus.
FRONTLINE Plus For Dogs contains fipronil and the insect growth regulator (IGR) (S)-methoprene. Insect growth regulators interrupt or inhibit the life cycle of a pest. Flea eggs and flea larvae that are exposed to (IGR) (S)-methoprene will never develop into the adult jumping, biting and (most important) reproducing fleas. FRONTLINE flea and tick treatment effectively targets all stages of fleas and ticks. Fipronil collects in the oils of the skin and hair follicles, and continues to be released from hair follicles onto the skin and coat, resulting in effective tick and flea control for long-lasting activity against fleas and ticks.
FRONTLINE Plus for Dogs is waterproof, since the active ingredient in FRONTLINE products is stored in the oil glands within the skin, from which it is continuously released onto dogs' fur, FRONTLINE flea and tick treatment remains truly waterproof for 30 days or longer. FRONTLINE is so gentle it is approved for use on puppies 8 weeks or older. It is also approved for breeding, pregnant and lactating dogs. For best flea control and effective tick control, apply FRONTLINE Plus monthly throughout the year. FRONTLINE does not expire if it remains unopened and is stored properly according to the package instructions.

Blipping up on our radar this month at Alex Zachary Peter Currie gallery—that slightly spooky duplex at 77th and Madison Avenue—is artist Lutz Bacher’s curiosity-prodding mixed-media work. Both the gallery and the show are worth checking out for a few reasons. Last December, gallery partner Zachary was included in Forbes’ “30 Under 30,” a list of the most influential young people in their respective fields. Zachary is an alum of downtown staple Gavin Brown’s Enterprise, and ever since AZPC opened in 2010, his gallery has shown a strong roster of artists that have garnered some serious attention.
Lutz Bacher (not her real name) is aligned with the transgressive old guard; however, her work has been gaining some traction in the art world over the last few years with a solo show at PS1 in 2009, and head turners both at this year’s Whitney Biennial (“Pipe Organ,” 2009- 2011, in which a synth organ that plays itself is flanked by what appear to be missile shells), and at AZPC’s Independent Art Fair Booth. In this show, the odd-shaped space cradles California-based Bacher’s art perfectly; her work is a satisfying mix of the uncanny, the mystical and the everyday. And you can get into it. Literally. A room sized sand box stretches from inside the floor of the gallery into an outdoor courtyard, and viewers are invited in. We were also struck with how the show’s quiet minimal aesthetic sharply and smartly contrasts with her startling and bizarre mix of work at lutzbacher.com, which also deserves a visit.
Lutz Bacher at Alex Zachary Peter Currie will be on view through April 6th, 2012

Make way for gowns in your wardrobe! (Photo: Instagram)
If subtle yet enough to turn heads is your style, then gowns will soon be your go-to ensemble for the next party. We may think of them as too old-fashioned or even OTT, but the right selection can up your fashion game. Ahead, we list out 5 pretty as a picture gowns ranging from the classic sweetheart neckline or a neon one to pack a punch at an otherwise dull party.
Sunny Leone looks killer in this gorgeous body-con gown with a thigh-slit. The corset detailing adds an edge to the high-neck style. From the house of Swapnil Shinde, we like how she kept it muted with her accessories and went for a neat bun and a pair of silver metallic heels.
If you are someone who likes to go all out, then make a strong statement just like Malaika in this stunning neon green gown by Amit Aggarwal. Featuring balloon sleeves, it also has a thigh-slit. Styled by Maneka Harisinghani, she paired it with neon green pointy heels, with smokey eyes.
Take cues from Disha Patani who was spotted donning a red thigh-slit dress. Red and silk is a lethal combination, and hands down, perfect for a date night or a party. The Malang actor’s look was styled with red strappy heels, and sleek golden earrings. She went for crimson red lips to match with her outfit. We just have one word to describe what we feel about the look: smitten!
If you like to be best described as the lady in black, Vaani Kapoor's gown is the one for you. Featuring a sweetheart neckline, the actor ditched her accessories, letting the gown speak for itself. It is simple, yet sultry and elegant. You could add statement earrings to give it a hint of glam.
Big on sequins? This is the gown for you. Sonakshi Sinha looks stunning in this head-to-toe sequined ensemble. The colour is electric and we love how she's paired it with smokey eyes. Sometimes, less is not more. All you need is more, to pack that glam and turn heads!

Construction continues to move along in downtown Park Rapids, with most of the initial removals completed on Second Street.
A water main connection was completed in the alley behind McDonald's, in the middle of the night. This was one of the trickiest parts of the project, said city engineer Jon Olson.
He said the long range schedule still holds, with everything on track.
Some cement work is being corrected around light poles along Main Avenue, along with granite inlays being installed.
Street grading could begin on Second Street as early as next week, Olson said.
Crews are continuing to replace water and sewer infrastructure on Third Street. They will continue to work with businesses to determine the best times to be disconnected and reconnected to water.
Olson said he has spoken with workers at the U.S. Post Office about moving the drop box to a drive up location but it will remain off of Highway 71 for now.
He said they are monitoring complaints and people should direct any complaints directly to the post office. The phone number is 732-4477.
A representative of the Senior Citizens Center asked for boardwalks to be placed between Highway 71 up to the center on Second Street so people can have an easier time accessing the building. Olson said he would make sure something gets placed along the south side of Second Street.
Some discussion took place regarding striping on Main. Right now the temperatures aren't warm enough to paint the street. It might be completed in the middle of the night to minimize the hassle of closing the road, Olson said.
Opp Construction, the company who poured the concrete on Main last fall, will be cleaning and sealing a test area on a portion of the center colored concrete. Portions of this concrete were damaged over the winter. The hope is to repair the area so it will blend in with the rest of the surface.
The tentative completion date for Phase two is June 30.
Parking is available along Main Avenue and along Highway 71 and Pleasant Avenue. City parking lots are also available.
Construction crews will be working with individual business owners about access issues. Some of the alleys will have work done as well, which means some businesses might be without rear access at some points.
A temporary mail drop box is located on Highway 71 at the Post Office.
Weekly construction meetings will be held at 8 a.m. Thursdays at Bella Caffé. The next meeting is Thursday, May 19.
If anyone has questions during the week, call Jon Olson, project engineer at 218-846-7737 or 218-234-8680, or Jeff Wipper, project superintendent at 320-980-2523.

Note: In deference to our mobile, dial-up, and deployed amigos, I'm using small photos. The smaller photos are hyperlinked to larger ones if you'd like to see them.
I've had a Yaesu FT8900R in my Nissan Xterra for a while. When I bought my TJ, I decided to move it over and install it properly, instead of Southern Engineered like my X. I'm taking my time, and the install is divided into three parts: the radio, power, and antenna.
In the first post, I'll focus on the radio, because while the antenna and power are ran well enough to test the radio, they aren't ready to post... yet. I'm not quite decided on where to put the remote head. Towards the end of the post, I'll put a few snapshots up, and solicit the opinions of those wiser than me. I'm not going to walk through the mundane details. For example, I'm starting the install after removing the front piece of the center console. If you need to know how to do that, Youtube is your amigo.
Here's there area where I'm going to mount the radio under the front half of the console. Notice the bolt just in front of my shifter boot. That's the magic bolt which will hold the radio mount.
Note: I've ran the antenna and power just so I can test the radio.
Next, I installed the FT8900R mounting bracket. Notice I tried to use the bolt just in front and to the right of my final mount location. That position wouldn't fit under the console, so I moved it to the center bolt. I only used one bolt because no drills I have will fit in the rather confined area holding the radio. Because the console itself helps hold the radio and bracket, I'm not worried about it being too loose. I also gorilla tightend the bolt down... it ain't movin'.
Next, I put the front half of the center console on to check for fit. It was good to go. Following that, I installed the radio. Astute hams will notice the FT8900R is mounted upside down with the speaker facing the tub. I did this so my heat sinks faced upwards. Why? Heat, Grasshopper. There's a chance that the area I've mounted the radio in can get rather warm, and I'd rather my heat sink NOT function as a heat absorber and for reasons you shall see below.
I plugged in my remote wire, and ran it under the radio and out the open end of the console.
Here's shot of the radio from the passenger floorboard area. I will actually be able to reach behind the console and plug in a data cable if I want to do some packet radio.
And a view of the back from the driver's floorboard. Notice the remote wire, antenna, and power. It will be a pain, but I an reach behind and remove and plug both power and antenna. The remote cable will likely require me to remove the console.
Here's another driver's side view. Notice that I had to unseat the cable bundle you see just on this side of the radio. It's stable now, but it's a tighter fit than I'd like in the console.
Once the radio was mounted, and all my cables checked, it was time to see if all of this hassle would pay off. Aaaaannnndddd... Profit! Here you can see the radio before I install the shifter's boot. The console is fully seated, and the two mounting screw holes are lined up.
Most of the time, I do almost no talking, so the radio never gets warm. If I do decide to do some heavy duty cycle stuff such as long rag chews,, cross-band repeat, or run packet, cw, etc., I can just pop the coin tray, exposing my heat sync to fresh air. This is the reason I mounted the unit upside down.
During normal use, I have my coin tray in place.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. -- Police said 28 people were hurt in a shooting early Saturday after a dispute at a downtown Little Rock nightclub. The city's police chief said officers suspect multiple people fired weapons but that the incident was not terror-related.
Little Rock Police said on Twitter that 25 people suffered gunshot wounds and three had unrelated injuries. Police said all were expected to survive.
Clubgoers between the ages of 16 and 35 suffered gunshot wounds, and three others had unrelated injuries. Two people were in critical condition Saturday afternoon, police said.
The shooting occurred around 2:30 a.m. Saturday at the Power Ultra Lounge, a club in a two-story building downtown about 1 mile east of the state Capitol, during a concert by Tennessee rapper Finese 2Tymes, CBS affiliate KTHV-TV reports.
Police cordoned off the area as technicians collected evidence from the scene. Glass from the club's second story windows littered the ground, along with empty drink cups.
"We do NOT believe this incident was an active shooter or terror related incident. It appears to have been a dispute at a concert," the city police posted on its Twitter account overnight.
Police said that one person who had been in critical condition was upgraded to stable.
"One is too many. Seventeen is very alarming and certainly disturbing," Little Rock Police Chief Kenton Buckner told reporters. He said there was "some sort of dispute broke out between people inside" the club and that there are "probably multiple shooting suspects."
Police have not identified suspects, and no arrests have been made.
A Facebook video posted from inside the club included audio of at least 24 rounds fired in about 11 seconds. Darryl Rankin, who posted the video, said a friend of his who attended the Finese 2Tymes concert with him had a bullet "stuck in his spine."
Courtney Swanigan, 23, told The Associated Press that when the gunfire rang out, "I just closed my eyes, got down on the ground and put my hands on my head."
Rapper Finese 2Tymes issued a statement in all capital letters on Facebook expressing his thoughts for those injured. "THE VIOLENCE IS NOT FOR THE CLUB PEOPLE. WE ALL COME WITH 1 MOTIVE AT THE END OF THE DAY, AND THATS TO HAVE FUN. NOT TO BE HURT."
The shooting follows a week in which there have been about a dozen drive-by shootings in the capital city, though there's no indication the events are linked.
Gov. Asa Hutchinson said in a statement that his thoughts are with the victims and their families.
"Little Rock's crime problem appears to be intensifying. Every few days it seems a high profile shooting dominates the news, culminating with this morning's event," he said Saturday. "I have spoken this morning with Mayor Stodola and I have offered both my heart felt concern over this senseless violent tragedy and state assets as needed to address the continued threat of violence in our community."
Early Saturday, Rada Bunch waited outside the club after she had heard from a friend that her son had been at the club and may have been shot. She had received little information about the incident.
"I'm sick of all the killing and I'm tired of all the shooting, the kids getting hurt," Bunch said.
Mayor Mark Stodola said the city would shut down the club under a "criminal abatement" program. State regulators suspended the club's liquor license earlier Saturday and Stodola said the property's manager was delivering an eviction notice.
"We know we've got to use a hammer, we've got to use a big hammer on the people who would do violence with guns and hurt people," the mayor said at an afternoon news conference.
He said the city must do more to "keep guns out of the hands of the wrong people" and suggested that people refuse to patronize clubs that seem to promote violence. Material advertising the concert showed a man pointing a gun at a camera.
"A promotional video with a gun on the front cover inviting people to a concert ... should also be totally unacceptable in our community," Stodola said.
Earlier, Stodola said on Facebook that his prayers were with the victims of the shooting. "My heart is broken this morning -- my prayers are with the victims of this tragedy," he wrote.
Arkansas Alcoholic Beverage Control officials suspended the club's alcohol license and set a hearing for July 10 on three potential charges: disorderly conduct, allowing possession of weapons on the premises and "failure to be a good neighbor."
The club's license has been suspended 11 times for failing to pay taxes, and it has been cited seven times for 14 various violations including unknowingly furnishing alcohol to minors and allowing alcohol to leave the premises since 2012, ABC Director of Enforcement Boyce Hamlet said.
In May, one person was killed and six people were hurt in a mass shooting at a downtown concert in Jonesboro, Arkansas, about 115 miles northeast of Little Rock. In that case, two men were charged with first-degree murder and six counts of first-degree battery.
Arkansas lawmakers earlier this year approved a measure expanding where concealed handguns can be carried, including bars if allowed by owners, for licensees who undergo additional training. The law takes effect in September, but the training likely won't be available until early next year.

Greek, Mediteranean in general, and almost any seafood
That's tough. Mostly entres, but I like to vary and try new things. My favorite cookbook is the Silver Palate and I love to try dishes from it, but it makes too much if I cook it just for me. I have plenty more on my list I want to try and share.
I used to love anything from Plank - but they're now closed and I haven't found my new favorite replacement...yet. I also used to love the Seattle Special at Crown Pub - but that's off the menu now too. Now you know why I'm searching...
I lived in Columbus, OH for years - tons of fabulous restaurants. I also have a friend who is a chef for Legal Seafoods in DC (based out of Boston) - amazing! But my all time favorite was an Italian place in Boston (years ago) called Giacomo's.
I have a couple: on business at a steakhouse in downtown Houston (can't remember the name); a few at a 4-star in Columbus, OH (Worthington Inn) - my friend was the sous chef; and I attended a chef's association dinner in Cols. once - pretty amazing.
You had me at Greek food! I love exploring new foods and tastes - especially with good company. This sounds like a great group.
Fabulous!!! Met some great people and look forward to more!

Whenever I want to “refresh a room”, I don’t head out and go shopping. Instead, I always shop my home first. Today I am sharing why you need to shop your own home for decor!
I just finished restyling our living room for winter. I added ice-blue highlights in the room and you won’t believe where I found most of the items.
I found them in our home. Had you asked me if I owned any ice blue items I would have said: “absolutely not”! But I was so wrong.
I knew ice blue would look great in our living room because it already was in our painting and rug. So the first thing I did was scour our home. I opened every cupboard, every drawer, and every closet. I went up to our third floor and opened a few plastic bins looking for more things. So what did I find?
The first treasure that I found was the blue chippy wooden holder. This was outside in our outdoor kitchen. I had used it to hold seasonings for our bbq. I honestly had barely noticed it was blue.
Then I found the blue vintage medicine bottles which were in a box in my art studio. (Don’t ask what they were doing in there.) I found the pillow with the nest of blue eggs in the closet where I keep my extra pillow covers. Then I found a few blue books scattered on various shelves in our living and family rooms.
I found the off white and light blue throw in our linen closet. I honestly had forgotten that I bought it a few years earlier.
I also found quite a few galvanized pieces. I added these to the room because they work so well with the light iced blue.
The new simplicity and comfort of this room just makes me smile. The seating is comfortable and it’s a great room for sitting by the fire and reading or just having a conversation. For practical reasons, I moved the lamps closer to the couch to help with reading.
I promise to share more parts of this room on my next blog post. I just might even confess that I purchased a few vintage items and flea market finds that really put the finishing touches on this room.
So what do you think? Isn’t it fun to shop in your own home? It certainly is a lot less expensive.
