My Name is Erin, and my Mom’s an Addict by Amy Voltaire is the story of Erin Whitaker, a fifteen-year-old girl whose mother is a heroin addict. Erin went to live with her grandparents when she was five, after her mother left. When Erin got home from school one day, her mother was gone and never came back. Ten years later Erin’s mother has reentered her life. She’s finally gotten clean and wants to have a relationship with her daughter. Though reluctant, Erin allows her mother back into her life. But when she relapses, will Erin’s anger cause her to lose all the other people in her life as well?
This story focuses on the effects of drug addiction, not just on the addict, but on the other people in their life, children especially but also siblings and friends and even parents-in-law.
I really enjoyed reading this book. Despite the dark theme of substance abuse and drug addiction, there were bits of humor in the story. The author had an engaging writing style. And I really liked the main character, Erin. The whole book was written from her point of view, so I always knew what she was thinking and feeling and why she acted out at times.
I believe this story is a realistic portrayal of the realities of life for children affected by drug addiction, and even though it is a work of fiction, this book will resonate with people who are going through a similar situation.

So, let’s get this right out there from the outset. I’m a traditionalist at heart and now I’m in my sixties I get confused easily. At least that’s my excuse for how I’m feeling about the dizzying array of whizz-bang ideas flying out from the ECB, all designed to save the future of cricket in the long term, and in the shorter term address the fact that the England team can’t play test cricket as soon as they get any further than Calais. Where to begin?
Let’s start with the Test team. County cricket has always been the bedrock for producing test players, so when the head-scratching in the ECB wonders why England batsmen and bowlers struggle on pitches that don’t resemble my back lawn in springtime, it seems that playing the County Championship more or less solely in Spring and Autumn doesn’t seem to produce a Eureka! moment. Well, perhaps except in the mind of England Selector Mick Newell who apparently thinks it would be a “blooming good idea” to start the Championship in March with matches kicking off the competition in the West Indies and the UAE. This, seemingly would give our players exposure to different pitches not encountered in England. The possibility that similar pitches might exist in dear old Blighty in July and August is well….you know the rest.
The other problem with County cricket is that it’s not competitive enough. After 18 years, it seems to have finally dawned on the ECB that two divisions has manifestly failed to do what it set out to achieve. Far from creating a healthy competitive edge whereby promotion and relegation would stimulate interest and improve standards and ergo produce test talent we have seen counties paralysed with fear at the prospect of relegation and the possibility of sinking inexorably into the black hole of second class citizenship; a transfer system without transfer fees has been created and certain counties such as Leicestershire have seen players, developed and nurtured take a one way ticket to other bigger, richer counties without a penny finding its way to the county that has invested so much time and effort in them. It’s easy to arrive at a conclusion that such counties have pretty much abandoned all hope of winning the county championship and resign themselves to a life in Division Two and an occasional tilt at a one day title. I have even heard it said there may be a handful of counties - those with test venues which can maximise revenues from big one day attendances - who would be happy to not have the bother of having to play red ball cricket at all.
So the idea of a three conference competition has again surfaced, (originally mooted I believe by Yorkshire - not known for imaginative flights of fancy normally ) to address these issues. No promotion or relegation and the principle that each county is a first among equals. Actually, I quite like the idea in principle although to understand the concept fully it helps to have a Masters in Algorithms and Data Structure. It goes something like this. The 18 counties get put in three conferences of six teams - A, B, C initially based on their 2019 Div 1 and 2 finishing positions; each county plays 10 matches - 5 home and 5 away; from these three further conferences are established - D, E and F based on where teams finish in A, B and C (e.g. the top two teams from each go into Conference D, the next two in to E and ….well, you get the idea and whereupon the teams play each other once i.e. 5 games. With me so far? Come on keep up at the back. So….after 15 games ( so much for the need to reduce the number of county matches argument) each county will end up with a points total that will form one complete county championship table, from which one presumes the one finishing top will be crowned County Champions. Oh, and this final table will determine which county goes in which conference the following season. There…..go have a lie down in a darkened room with a cold towel wrapped around your head, I know I am.
Now, somehow this new county championship has to be shoehorned into the season schedule, and given that the prime summer months will still be given over to the T20 Blast and the new franchise ( there, I’ve used the F word) competition then we’ll be watching county cricket just after Christmas and just before the next one. However, it’s an interesting concept and one which could work providing that it is played throughout the summer months. Michael Atherton thinks it could happily co-exist with the one-day competitions which presently have sole use of July and August, providing we accept that the 4 day game during these months becomes a development opportunity for aspiring younger players whilst the bigger boys are lining their pockets in the one-day biff bang formats. I fear the shift in thinking required for this to happen is so gargantuan there’s more chance of dinosaurs roaming the earth again - (jokes about the ECB on a postcard please).
Anyway, dear reader, I digress. So to the next batch of mind-bending ideas.
The oft-repeated mantra of “We must attract a new audience” in order to sustain and grow cricket has been echoing around St. Johns Wood of late. Said mantra produced T20 in 2003, and has been pretty successful in that regard. Particularly if you like a Friday night or Sunday afternoon drinking copious amounts of lager and singing football songs that is. It brings the crowds in, the Counties like the money it brings in, Sky shove it into their schedules and the breweries see healthy spikes in profits. But what was designed as a family-friendly, quick format of the game has morphed into something slightly different and longer than intended. Traditionalists grumbled a lot about it not being proper cricket, gnashed dentures that it shoved 4-day cricket to the margins of the summer schedule but grudgingly accepted it put much-needed spondulicks into county coffers.
However, despite its success, the T20 Blast (as we must now call it) was not enough for the ECB marketing maestros and accounting whizkid. Locked in a room, it can only be surmised these young bucks had a brainstorming session driven by gallons of strong coffee and other nameless substances. After what I imagine was minutes of inspired crackpot white-boarding they emerged triumphant with………”The Hundred”.
Much of the concern the counties had about the new F-word competition being a fancy dan T20 designed to obliterate the ‘Blast’ was assuaged in one fell swoop by a new 100 ball competition that will provide “a clear differentiation” and “really capture the imagination”. Received, apparently with unanimous approval when presented to the counties, or alternatively, they were so stunned into bemused silence they were unable to pick their jaws off the table to object, Messrs, Harrison, Patel and Strauss have been preaching the idea with all the zeal of Texan evangelical preachers.
“We must attract a new audience” they cry….sounds familiar. “We need to simplify the game so people can understand it.” Which gets us to one hundred balls counted down with a clock (yes, really); possibly doing away with a scoreboard except for the total of runs and wickets (scoreboards are it seems too difficult to understand), and of course a ‘wildcard’ ten ball over. Never mind the laws of the game will have to be re-written, we shall be treated to a ten ball over at a time of the captain’s choosing which might be bowled by one, two or even three bowlers (3.33 overs recurring I assume). It’s quite possible I’ve missed a fourth alternative which is a spectator pulls the winning lucky dip ticket out of the umpire's hat and gets to bowl it to add to the family fun theme.
Unsurprisingly, amongst cricket enthusiasts the reaction to the “hundred’ has been….ahem…..less than positive shall we say. Reaction has ranged from apoplexy to derision to indifference (well in my pub at least), but I suspect the brains behind the concept would be more worried if traditional lovers of the game reacted with cartwheels of joy and skipped down the lane with hats on the sides of their heads. Because this new competition isn’t for old curmudgeons like me, not even for people who quite like cricket a bit. No, this cricket version of Countdown is aimed at a new audience - families, you know the ones supposed to be going to the ‘Blast!’ Actually, more specifically according to Andrew Strauss it’s aimed at women and children - presumably, his idea of families is that there are a lot of absent fathers these days - and those with the attention span of a gnat. To accommodate this it will start at a family-friendly hour, or one that fits nicely into free to air TV broadcaster schedules not crossing the forbidden nine o’clock watershed.
Now, to be fair the ‘Hundred’ is still in the concept change, and given much of the initial public outrage time will tell what the finished product will look like but don’t expect much to change. The suits at the ECB have got far too excited at broadcasting revenues to backtrack now. Talk of the world’s best players and megabuck salaries rather suggest players who would perhaps have gravitated to the ‘Blast’ will head for the new money mountain. The ‘Blast’ may well, over time, be allowed to wither and die as a second-rate competition, not that the ECB would dream of saying such a thing.
And I haven’t even mentioned the Royal London 50 over Cup which will meander it’s way gently through May and June. I hadn’t forgotten it, it just feels like no-one gives it much thought at the moment. It’s rather got lost amongst all the hoo-ha around T20, 100 and the County Championship. I can see a time when the 50 over game is the format that bites the dust, but only if and when the ICC drops its International tournament equivalents. Meanwhile, it will continue to be shoehorned into an ever overcrowded domestic schedule.
Its cricket Jim, but not as we know it.
In 2016 Leicester City shocked the sporting world to lift the English Premier League title, now in 2017, Essex County Cricket Club are attempting to write their own sporting fairytale by winning the Specsavers County Championship for the first time since 1992.
Before the season started the Essex members would scarcely believe that their team would find themselves top of the tree passed the halfway mark of the season, but now there is a genuine belief that maybe, just maybe this is their year.
But this story doesn’t begin now it began two years ago, the Chelmsford-based county were struggling in Division Two stagnating into a run of the mill Second Division team, it was then when former Essex skipper Ronnie Irani was appointed as Chairman of the club, and since that point the Eagles haven’t looked back.
A series of shrewd signings and coaching changes have made the club nothing short of formidable, in the hardest season to get promoted to the top flight they brushed off their hoodoos of missing out in previous years to romp to the Division Two title giving a fitting farewell to two of their favourite sons in the process in Graham Napier and David Masters.
It was a crucial winter for Ronnie Irani, Chris Silverwood, and his coaching staff as the club looked to equip itself to be competitive and survive an immediate drop out of the top flight and back into Division Two. They brought back some familiar faces in Adam Wheater and Varun Chopra to the club that is in the main very much a local lads brigade. Many of the starting eleven have plied their trade in the Essex Premier League and/or have come through the academy ranks, and that family like atmosphere about the team and the strength of that bond and team belief has given the Essex playing staff a ‘never say die’ attitude and that mental state has turned probable draws into unlikely wins.
They remain the only team in the top flight to remain unbeaten and deservedly sit on the top step looking down at other Counties who are in theory far superior both in terms of stature and financially. The likes of Yorkshire, Lancashire, Surrey and Middlesex are all on the coat tails of Silverwood’s men.
But just what has been the key to the Eagles success? Here is View From the Outfield’s Essex Correspondent David Bowden top five reasons why the Eagles are soaring high this summer.
1. The Alastair Cook effect: So often have Essex missed their talismanic opener due to his England commitments, but since giving up the captaincy at international level, the Gloucester-born man has been filling his boots for Essex. The former England captain has brought a degree of calmness to the top of the Essex order striking three centuries at an of average 66.7. 'The Chef' as he is affectionately known around Chelmsford has also rubberstamped his reputation by averaging a century every 3.5 innings better than any other player in the county set-up. He has guided Essex to wins over Somerset early in the season hitting a vital ton to guide his side over the winning line, and was involved in a mammoth opening stand with Nick Browne in their last win over Middlesex in the inaugural Day/Night fixture at Chelmsford, he struck 193 (his highest score of the season thus far) as he shared 373 for the first wicket, to create another bit of personal history beating a previous record which had stood since 1994. His loss will hit the Eagles hard but in Varun Chopra, they have a more than adequate replacement.
2. Runs from all areas: When Chopra struck his rapid century last week against Middlesex he became the eighth Essex batsmen to reach a hundred this season. It was always believed that Essex had a strong looking line-up on paper with a mixture of experience in Cook, Ravi Bopara and Ryan ten Doeschate, but they also have a number of talented youngsters in Dan Lawrence, Nick Browne and Tom Westley all of whom have heard whispers from England selectors. Cricket coaches and pundits around the world will tell you if you can get runs on the board your chances of winning improve ten-fold and that is exactly what the Eagles have done time-after-time this season.
3. The rise of Jamie Porter: Here at View From The Outfield we have always seen the potential of the young seamer picking him out early on as one to watch but I think even we are surprised at how well the fair-haired youngster has adapted to Division One. The Leytonstone-born man has collected 33 first-class wickets thus far, the second highest for the county, and his canny habit of picking up early wickets with the new cherry has opened up many a game for the Eagles. Porter has recently received a Lions call-up and continued to impress on the bigger stage, he really is one to watch.
4. The quality of recruitment: As an Essex fan I can tell you that I have seen some shocking overseas imports in my time. Lonwabo Tsosobe just to name just one, but since the arrival of Ronnie Irani, the Essex signing policy has been superb. Last season they realised they needed younger blood in the bowling ranks and brought in Matt Quinn and Matt Dixon, okay Dixon hasn’t worked out just yet, but Quinn certainly looks like a shrewd signing. But it was this winters recruitment that has impressed me the most, the signings of Neil Wagner and Mohammed Amir have proved a success. Wagner quickly became part of the Essex family, and took the dressing room by storm; you would think he has had an influence on Porter’s and Quinn’s game. When the chips were down Essex could always rely on a long spell from Wags to help the boys out. But perhaps most importantly the arrival of a class spinner in Simon Harmer. Every Essex fan knew we needed a decent spinner, in truth the Eagles have lacked one since Danish Kaneria departed the club under a cloud. Harmer, though, has been a revelation since joining the club. The South African Kolpak has quickly become a fans favourite and impressed so much that the Eagles tied him down to a long-term deal just a couple of months into his Essex career. So credit must go to Irani, Derek Bowden and Chris Silverwood on some top class signings.
5. Lastly, that man Harmer again: He is so good he deserves his own section. Not only has he added vital balance to the bowling attack with his canny ability to take wickets but he is willing to bowl mammoth spells, and as a bowler myself I cannot tell you how important that is to have a player the captain can turn to when the front liner seamers need a break. Harmer hasn’t just offered balance as was first thought upon his arrival he has turned himself into the leader of the attack taking a phenomenal amount of wickets. The South African is currently going through a purple patch having picked up 28-wickets in two matches bowling Essex to success over both Warwickshire and Middlesex. He claimed astonishing figures of 9-95 in the second innings at Chelmsford on Thursday night to give Essex a late dramatic win that stretched the Eagles lead at the top of the table to 29-points. You would have to say that Harmer is causing some serious harm to Division One batting line-ups right now and he is crucial to the Eagles title push.
They couldn’t win the whole thing, could they? Well, the Essex faithful are certainly starting to dare to dream.

For a cricket fan, there are fewer better sights than watching a spinner turning the ball a mile from leg-stump to outside the off-stump, so the recent match at Taunton had lovers of cricket purring.
It was, at last, a triumph for the new toss regulations which is supposed to encourage clubs to produce spinning wickets to improve to the calibre of spin bowlers around the county circuit.
You can go to any club ground on a Saturday or a Sunday can see a youngster running in off eight paces trying to swing the ball outside off-stump and attempting to induce an edge. Indeed, I am one of those bowlers, a 20 something medium pacer, who after trudging off of his 11 paces run-up bowls a ball of around 50mph with differing success. The reason behind that, simple, when I was growing up my idols were Andrew ‘Freddie’ Flintoff and Darren Gough. They were the pin-up boys of my generation, so it makes sense for the ECB to attempt to make the next poster boy of English cricket to be a world-class spinner.
Indeed, not since the charismatic Graeme Swann have England enjoyed seeing the ball turn out of the rough and rock back the off-stump to leave the batsman bewildered to how he has just lost his wicket. I may have only been one when Shane Warne broke onto the scene and stunned the world with that ball to Mike Gatting, but it is moments like that that inspires a generation.
I am sure if you go down to a local cricket club in Sydney or Hobart you’ll see kids trying to recreate that magic moment. It is time that happened in the UK, all it takes is one moment, and it creates a spark and interest in a new skill. Whilst Moeen tries to skittle out opposition with his slow turn, no offence to the Worcestershire man, but it is far more likely that he is going to inspire people with his flaying cover drive than his off-spinner.
That is why the ECB need to be praised for their attempt to produce more spin friendly conditions. England needs another Graeme Swann or Phil Tufnell. A look around the county circuit will tell you just how desperate the situation is. Thankfully, there looks to be one or two breaking through, the likes of Jack Leach at Somerset and Mason Crane at Hampshire, there are players out there, they just need to be encouraged and nurtured.
Leach, in particular, is one catching the eye down in Taunton, largely thanks to the dry spinning pitches down in the West Country. A look at the game against Surrey that turned out to be one of the games of the season so far tells you how exciting the county game can be if it is done right. Result wickets like that one at Somerset are far more likely to bring the punters through the door than docile batsman friendly wickets.
You only have to look at the attendances, okay whilst the weather wasn’t at the County Ground in Northampton, I would bet money that the attendance didn’t break the 500 mark, whereas at Taunton the gate was over the 1000 mark on every day and on the deciding day 2000 fans packed the Taunton venue to see a thrilling final day.
Jack Leach, at 24-years of age, could be the next big thing in English cricket, the youngster bamboozled some of the best batsmen in the circuit on his way to match-figures of 8-97 as he produced a fine all-round display to take his side to victory.
The pitch was obviously offering spin with Surrey stalwart Gareth Batty also collecting fine figures finishing with a ten-wicket bag for the match. I am not saying every pitch should be a spinner's paradise but the county game would be a whole lot more exciting and crowd friendly if more matches finished in the fashion it did on Monday in Somerset.
The emergence of spin will prove to be more and more crucial over this season as England begin their preparations for their winter tours of Bangladesh and India, whilst many of our Test stars don’t appear on the county scene as much as spectators like there is sure to be an opportunity for a spinner to receive a national call-up in the winter. England surely can’t travel to Asia with just one spinner, so should a county spinner continue to impress their chances of a nice winter trip to Asia is surely in the bag.
English batsman are known to struggle against the spinning ball, so the theory behind the ECB placing more incentive for counties to produce more spin friendly wickets is to help young English batsmen to improve their game against the spinning balls. For once, the ECB have got something right, and it is surely only going to have a positive effect on the English game going forward.
The moral of the story is, the pitch is key, the better the pitch the better the spectacle, the more interest County Cricket will receive.

There isn’t a cricket season that goes by without a change in regulations or competitions by the powers that be at the ECB.
Whether that is the Pro40 changing back to the 50-over-cup to mirror the international game, Friday night T20 Blast cricket, and most recently the change in structure in the Championship which leaves the smaller teams in Division Two next to no chance of gaining promotion.
I remember the Pro-40 cup well, it was a competition that attracted a decent crowd and was entertaining enough to gain interest from fans of all ages. It allowed adventurous batting as it was the middle ground between the T20 and the longest format the 50-over cup. For me, as a bowler, the T20 is a batsman orientated game, which I understand, it is far more entertaining for the public seeing balls fly into the stands than to see your generic caught behind. But the 40-over game allowed a perfect balance, and it also didn’t last too long.
Whilst the decision to bring back a 50-over competition is an understandable one, it does take out a whole day and if you are with children it is hard to keep them interested for 100-overs of cricket. And you could argue that it hasn’t really helped us out on the international stage, yes, we excelled in the T20 World Cup reaching the final, but in the longest one-day format we are still light-years behind the likes of Australia, India and New Zealand to name but three.
One change that the ECB made that I do agree with however is the decision to move T20 games to a Friday night, it allows younger fans to attend games as the weekend means they can stay up later and enjoy the game without parents having to worry about school the next day. Not only that but statistically it has proved to be a very shrewd move indeed with attendances rising by 12% last year compared to that of the last five-years.
So that’s one pat on the back for the ECB, but the decision to take away a promotion spot from Division Two disgusts me. It just smacks of ‘Test ground team bias’ to me. As it was, teams that went down, generally returned, but at least it gave teams like Northampton (who are financially ruined, by the way) and Worcestershire the chance to gain promotion through the second promotion spot.
Now, with only one spot up for grabs, come June/July time this summer we could be left staring at a whole host of meaningless games, as the promotion picture could be sewn up by then. Take my team Essex for example, they are so often the nearly men, finishing third in the last two season to far superior teams like Hampshire, Surrey, and Lancashire, spot the theme there, all the three mentioned teams have Test Match grounds.
As a fan, you are left to hold your hands up and admit you finished third to the best teams in the division and that’s that. But now, the level of consistency has to be immense. With just one spot up for grabs, you can seldom afford to lose many games.
This ties nicely into the new toss regulations that have seemingly confused most county captains too. It essentially means that away club skipper has first dibs on bowling first before a coin is tossed in anger.
The decision taken on the opening weekend of the season by Ben Brown at Sussex and Gareth Batty at Surrey was a questionable one, to say the least. It almost felt as if it was a decision they just felt they had to make for the sake of it.
Indeed, Northants went on to rack up 481/7 before rain ruined their encounter, and although Surrey battled back bravely, they ultimately fell short of victory after falling behind on first innings.
Now the reasoning behind this is to encourage skippers to bowl their spinners as in theory with the away team getting to decide if they want to bowl first or not. Groundsmen are now going to stop producing green tops. Essex were the main culprits of this, they produced extremely friendly seam conditions for the likes of David Masters, Jesse Ryder and Jamie Porter to roll teams over cheaply in the hope they could gain a huge first innings lead and secure maximum bowling and batting points. Now this plan cannot be utilized which is a good thing, and I do believe in the long run it will help spinners.
It will harm the smaller counties though I am sure, who may not have the facilities to produce these brilliant cricket wickets and they will ultimately fall victims to these changes.
Mark my words, these new regulations will see a county die, with Northampton teetering on the brink these changes in regulations meaning only one county can go up could send them over the edge.
Whilst money in the top-flight of the Championship isn't brilliant, it is a darn sight better than that in Division Two, it boosts finances and will also bring more punters through the door if teams like Lancashire, Yorkshire, and Middlesex are turning up to Wantage Road.
So by denying them the opportunity it could have a detrimental affect on their future and other counties future. On the ECB's head be it. It is shortsighted from them and this 'top club bias' is starting to rear its ugly head. And it has to stop.
Written by David Bowden (@Bowdenwhu)
Cricket is a traditional game, so it is a great shame to see those traditions slowly being thrown to one side like an 80-over old red ball as money increasingly dictates the county game. More and more focus is being pinned on one-day cricket; it means that games at out grounds will soon become a misty memory.
Indeed, some of my fondest childhood memories come from hurrying to Southchurch park in Southend after school to catch the last few hours of each day's play, grabbing autographs of players as they trudged off the pitch after a long day in the field, before haring onto the pitch at the end of play for a quick knock with the old man and his pals.
They were golden days in the sun, and in many ways what made me fall in love with the sport. In particularly the longer format of the game, and despite my age of 23, unlike many of my friends who are one-day mad, for me the first-class game is still the purist form.
All this comes from clubs being able to bring cricket to different areas of the county. Under the new regulations, there will be a reduced number of County Championship fixtures, from 16 games to just 14. Already many counties have removed the ‘festival fixture’, I know Hampshire have decided to take Basingstoke off their calendar for a number of years now. And I also know from experience having attended a Championship fixture at the Ageas bowl just how soulless it can be.
There is often a buzz surrounding a smaller, festival ground, as many excited kids are able to see their idols in their own backyard. Oddly too the pitch is often far better than the home ground of the team, it’s more spin friendly and tests the skills of the players far more as groundsmen look to ensure the fixture lasts four-days to maximize finances.
Not only is it great for the county itself, but it is also great for the local area, it brings cricket to the local kids who may not have time to get down to the club's main ground, and it is often if planned well, during the summer holidays so it can be a real family affair. A week of cricket culminating in a one-day fixture can only help to get more people into the sport, if priced correctly people will go down to their local ground and support their county.
Cricket is not like football, cricket allows fans to have a real sense of belonging, a real sense of commitment, there is one club in your area to support so it brings people together. So to me, the decision to take these fixtures off the plate is naïve, to say the least from some counties. Look at Lancashire, when they relocated to Liverpool during their redevelopment of Old Trafford, they saw a renaissance of form and charged up the league table, this may have been down to dodgy pitches and growth in support leading to an intimidating atmosphere or it could just be a coincidence but you can bet your bottom dollar during those summer days they collected some more supporters.
The ECB know that four-day cricket is dying out, and the only way to improve this is to make it more accessible to the younger members of society, by placing the majority of games in April and May whilst kids are still at school means it limits the audience base to the retired and a the hardcore fans who are willing to take time off work. In the summer months of June, July and August fans are far more willing to take time off work, the weather is more likely to be better theoretically of course.
So if the travel cost is reduced and a ground is within walking distance it makes going to the cricket far more appealing. You can have a drink, you can have a laugh with your mates and that is what four-day cricket is all about.
So I plead with the authorities and the counties not to let this tradition die. Because let’s face it county cricket is becoming almost unrecognizable to what it was in its heyday.

When is it Time for a Knee Replacement?
We never stop to think how a lack of motion in our joints affects our daily lives and tend to just grin and bear with the pain. But what if you find that the simplest motion of climbing stairs, getting in and out of chairs, and even walking can cause tremendous pain in your knee joints? You can’t rely on conventional pain medication indefinitely, so it might be time to consider knee replacement surgery.
As this is major surgery, it should not be entered into lightly and it is always best to consult with a knee surgeon before going ahead with the replacement. Forewarned is forearmed, so it is best to know what the common side effects of this surgery are before making the final decision.
Common Side Effects of Knee Replacement Surgery
This type of replacement surgery can result in physical complications ranging from pain and swelling to implant rejection, infection, and bone fractures.
- Persistent Pain – it is normal for patients to experience some degree of pain up to three months after surgery. If, after this time, you are not experiencing a lessening of pain, you would need to consult your doctor.
- Infection – infection after surgery is rare but can still occur, and therefore, it is important to follow your doctor’s instructions on wound cleanliness.
- Long-Term Stiffness – it is normal to have stiffness in the joint after surgery as this is your body’s way of healing and adjusting to the new knee. Should the stiffness last, it could mean that there is excessive scar tissue, which could be caused by a lack of use or exercise.
- Implant failure – implants are built to be long lasting but there is always a chance that the implant might fail. Persistent pain and stiffness could be a sign of implant failure as the replacement joint isn’t able to function properly.
- Nerve or Blood Vessel Damage – during surgery, there is a chance that the nerves, veins, and tissues around the joint can be damaged. This can cause numbness, pain, or lower blood flow around the knee and usually the damage will heal over time.
- Blood Clots – knee replacement affects the flow of blood around the knee, and as a result of this, it could increase the possibility of developing blood clots. To prevent this from happening, it is recommended to take blood-thinning medication. The best thing a patient can do after surgery to prevent blood clots it to move around.
Your Surgery is in Safe Hands
At Life Wilgers Hospital, we know that no surgery should be entered into lightly, so before making the decision to go ahead with your replacement, contact us or visit our website to find out more about our state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment approaches for replacement surgery.

LawFuel.com – Supreme Court News – A law professor who plans on getting into the ballot for the Wisconsin Supreme Court race has already turned in signatures to run against state Supreme Court Justice Patience Roggensack who delivered around 4000 signaures on her nomination, compared to 3200 for her challenger.
Marquette Law Professor Ed Fallone hopes to get his place on the ballot for the Supreme Court race on April 2.
Also five Republicans submitted paperwork to run for the Assembly in a special election this spring to replace Paul Farrow, who was elected to the state Senate in December.
Milwaukee’s Attorney Vince Megna reports submitting 2,214 signatures.
If all three have met the Wednesday deadline for returning at least 2,000 valid signatures to the Government Accountability Board, there will be a primary on February 19. If there are two or fewer candidates, the race will proceed directly to the general election in early April.

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer joined seven other governors in sending a letter to the U.S. Census Bureau and U.S. Department of Commerce that asks them to re-extend the national census collection and response deadline to Oct. 31.
Whitmer joined Oregon Gov. Kate Brown, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper, Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Vermont Gov. Phil Scott in signing off on the request.
The census dictates how many federal dollars Michigan and other states will receive for education, public safety, health care, infrastructure and other sectors in the next 10 years.
Back in April, the U.S. Congress and the White House chose to push data collecting and response deadlines to Oct. 31 because counting operations were deemed to be hindered by the COVID-19 pandemic.
But the Census Bureau, a commerce agency tasked with producing data about Americans and the economy, recently moved the collection and response deadline back a month.
The deadline is now Sept. 30, a full month before the initial agreed-upon date. Census takers have until then to conduct surveys. In-person, online, phone and mail operations will end that day.
The governors’ letter, dated Aug. 18, was sent to Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross and Census Bureau Director Steven Dillingham. In it, governors wrote they are deeply concerned about the change and how it will affect the tallying of their states’ hard to count communities. Those are deemed by the bureau as hard to locate, hard to interview, hard to contact and hard to persuade.
“Your recent announcement calls into question how millions of Americans who have yet to fill out their 2020 Census will be counted,” the governors wrote. “It is surprising to hear how optimistic the Census Bureau is about being able to reach 100% in less than 60 days, given the current daily self-response rate and the fact that, as of the writing of this letter, only 63% of the country has responded to the 2020 Census.
“By your own calculations made when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, the October 31 date is crucial for the Census Bureau to be able to meet its constitutional obligation and do it in a way that does not jeopardize the public health,” they added.
The governors also expressed concern that shortening the time span to collect responses could hinder outreach to Tribal communities, communities of color, immigrant and refugee communities and rural communities.
“These communities are already being disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and not providing them enough time to complete their 2020 Census would be denying them valuable resources needed for their recovery from this crisis,” they wrote.
Whitmer has said the “last-minute, under-the-cover-of-darkness changes” pose a threat to getting an accurate count of people and could throw a wrench into determining federal funding and states’ representation in Congress.
“I urge the U.S. Census Bureau to restore the Oct. 31 deadline to give states the time needed to get a complete and accurate count,” Whitmer said. “I’m also calling on all Michigan residents to complete the Census immediately, whether it’s online, by phone, or by mail, to ensure our communities receive the resources they’ve worked so hard to earn.”
Approximately 3.3 million people in Michigan are deemed hard to count, according to a Census Bureau Low Response Score calculation.

Peace Psychology in Asia
Cristina Jayme Montiel, Noraini M. Noor
Springer Science & Business Media, 4 июн. 2009 г. - Всего страниц: 337
In recent years, peace psychology has grown from a utopian idea to a means of transforming societies worldwide. Yet at the same time peacebuilding enjoys global appeal, the diversity of nations and regions demands interventions reflecting local cultures and realities. Peace Psychology in Asia shows this process in action, emphasizing concepts and methods diverging from those common to the US and Europe.
Using examples from China, India, Indonesia, the Philippines, and elsewhere in the region, chapter authors illuminate the complex social, political, and religious conditions that have fostered war, colonialism, dictatorships, and ethnic strife, and the equally intricate personal and collective psychologies that need to be developed to encourage reconciliation, forgiveness, justice, and community. Peace Psychology in Asia:
As practice-driven as it is intellectually stimulating, Peace Psychology in Asia is vital reading for social and community psychologists, policy analysts, and researchers in psychology and sociology and international studies, including those looking to the region for ideas on peace work in non-Western countries.

College of College Football Knowledge
In this ep, Brian and Lisa go back to school - college, that is - and their topic is football. They take up head injuries and recommendations for prevention, technology as coach, and what empowerment of college football players can look like.
If you can’t get enough of the Bandwagon, we’re tweeting things! Find us: @bndwgnpdcst
The focus is on college sports, and mostly football, in this edition of The Bandwagon with Lisa Bralts and Brian Moline. While you're thinking of yet another way to cook that leftover turkey, download or stream the latest episode.
The first topic of conversation is how Ohio State, and other schools, are using advanced technology to make sure their athletes are at their best on gameday.
Next, a dive into a University of Minnesota report advocating for the elimination of football from the youth level all the way through high school. As you might guess, it's head injuries that are the impetus for their argument. Plus, how are head injuries impacting the number of kids participating in football?
Finally, we head back to Ohio State to discuss the recent comments of running back Ezekiel Elliott that were critical of his coaching staff. Is this another sign that college athletes are getting a larger voice in their sports?

Lipoxin A4 is synthesized by neutrophils late during the inflammatory process and evidence suggests that it is involved in triggering the resolution of the response (24
). This is due, in part, to the ability of lipoxin A4 to promote the clearance of senescent neutrophils by macrophages, and to block adhesion and respiratory burst activity (1
). Spontaneous apoptosis was reduced in neonatal neutrophils relative to adults, and LPS suppressed apoptosis in both cell types. We also found that, while lipoxin A4 augmented apoptosis in LPS-treated adult cells, neonatal neutrophils were not responsive. While some previous investigators have reported that synthetic analogues of lipoxin do not affect neutrophil survival (13
), our finding in LPS-treated adult cells is consistent with previous reports that aspirin-triggered lipoxin and it analogs induce apoptosis in neutrophils exposed to inflammatory stimuli (17
). The induction of neutrophil apoptosis by lipoxin A4 under inflammatory conditions may be of biologic importance in reducing oxidant-mediated cytotoxicity. Our findings that neonatal cells are hyporesponsive are consistent with increased susceptibility of neonates to inflammatory diseases and suggest that clearance of neonatal neutrophils from sites of infection is not dependent on lipoxin A4.
Neutrophils accumulate in tissues in response to chemotactic factors generated at sites of infection or injury. Inflammatory cytokines and bacterial-derived products also trigger the generation of reactive oxygen intermediates, which are key in bacterial killing and may also play a role in tissue injury (33
). The present studies demonstrate that lipoxin A4 suppressed chemotaxis and respiratory burst activity in adult neutrophils, which is in accord with its anti-inflammatory effects. However, lipoxin A4-induced inhibition of chemotaxis and respiratory burst activity was significantly attenuated or absent in neonatal neutrophils. These findings are consistent with our results on apoptosis and suggest that the ability of lipoxin A4 to abrogate neutrophilic extravasation and limit tissue injury is impaired in neonates.
The biologic activities of lipoxin A4 are mediated, in part, via the membrane-bound G-protein coupled receptor, FPRL1 (also known as ALXR). Despite impaired responsiveness of neonatal neutrophils to lipoxin A4, these cells expressed greater levels of FPRL1 protein than adult cells. These data indicate that expression of FPRL1 is not a rate-limiting step in the response to lipoxin A4 in neonatal neutrophils. It is possible that over-expression of FPRL1 in neonatal neutrophils is a compensatory response to reduced lipoxin A4-mediated activation of downstream signaling pathways. In this regard, we have previously demonstrated that the activities of phosphoinositol-3 kinase and caspase 3, two signaling molecules up regulated following FPRL1 activation, are impaired in neonatal relative to adult neutrophils (5
PPAR-γ is a nuclear transcription factor that down regulates inflammation (34
). In the lung, PPAR-γ agonists have been shown to reduce neutrophil accumulation during endotoxemia (35
), and to down regulate Cox-2, ICAM-1 and p-selectin expression (36
). PPAR-γ activation triggers expression of target genes such as NGAL, which binds to and sequesters inflammatory mediators, including bacterial formyl peptides and leukotriene B4, and stimulates neutrophil apoptosis (37
). Previous studies have implicated 15-Lox and the lipoxin precursor, 15S-HETE, in the activation of PPAR-γ (27
). Consistent with this, we found that lipoxin A4 up regulated expression of PPAR-γ, as well as NGAL in adult neutrophils. In contrast, no effects were observed in neutrophils from neonates. Moreover, constitutive expression of PPAR-γ was significantly reduced in neonatal neutrophils, when compared to adult cells. These data suggest a potential mechanism underlying persistent activation of neonatal neutrophils at inflammatory sites.
Previous studies have shown that PGE2, which is produced early in the inflammatory response (1−2 hr), functions as a “primer” to induce of pathways important in down regulating the response, including 5-Lox and 15-Lox, which catalyze the generation of anti-inflammatory eicosanoids (24
). The present studies demonstrate that exposure of adult neutrophils to PGE2 primed these cells to respond to lipoxin A4, resulting in increased expression of PPAR-γ. In contrast, in neonatal cells pretreated with PGE2, there appear to be developmental defects in responsiveness to lipoxin A4. Thus in neonatal cells, LXA4 reduced expression of PPAR-γ, as well as NGAL. Moreover, lipoxin A4 alone had no significant effect on the cells. Interestingly, although PGE2 down regulated expression of 5-Lox and 15-Lox in both adult and neonatal neutrophils, PGE2 primed neutrophils to respond to LPS, a potent inducer of Lox expression during infection. However, this was only evident in adult cells. Hyporesponsiveness to lipoxin A4 and LPS in neonatal neutrophils, primed by exposure to PGE2 to exhibit the late-inflammatory phenotype, may lead to prolonged activity of pro-inflammatory eicosanoids, and exacerbate tissue injury. Of interest is our observation that culturing neutrophils from both adults and neonates resulted in increased constitutive expression of PPAR-γ, NGAL, and Lox. This may be attributed to changes in cellular responsiveness associated with adherence to culture dishes (41
The present studies show that the anti-inflammatory effects of lipoxin A4 in neutrophils are reduced in neonatal relative to adult cells. This may be due, in part, to defective activation of PPAR-γ in response to lipoxin A4 during the late phase of the inflammatory response. Impaired activity of lipoxygenases may further contribute to this effect. Previous studies have demonstrated that neutrophil hyporesponsiveness to lipoxin A4 may play a role in the pathogenesis of specific chronic inflammatory diseases in children, such as periodontitis (42
). Similarly, developmental impairment of specific lipoxin A4-mediated responses may increase the susceptibility of neonates to prolonged neutrophilic inflammation. Our findings suggest that novel therapeutic approaches using lipoxin A4 or its analogs may ameliorate inflammatory diseases in neonates.

- US marks 277,000 Covid cases in 24 hours, a new record
Infections have been surging in recent months, with top US government scientist Anthony Fauci warning just days after Christmas that the worst of the pandemic may be yet to come, driving the country to a "critical point" as holiday travel spreads the virus.
- White House hosted Covid 'super spreader' event, says Dr Anthony Fauci
White House coronavirus task force member Dr Anthony Fauci on Friday said that the White House had hosted a 'super spreader' event where people were crowded and not wearing masks. Fauci was apparently referring to the White House Rose Garden ceremony on September 26 where US President Donald Trump announced his nomination for Supreme Court, Amy Coney Barrett.
- Covid-19: Pfizer study suggests vaccine works against new UK virus strain
New research suggests that Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine can protect against a mutation found in two contagious variants of the coronavirus that erupted in Britain and South Africa. Those variants are causing global concern. They both share a common mutation called N501Y, a slight alteration on one spot of the spike protein that coats the virus. That change is believed to be the reason they can spread so easily.
- Britain will allow mixing of Covid-19 vaccines on rare occasions
Britain will allow people to be given shots of different Covid-19 vaccines on rare occasions, despite a lack of evidence about the extent of immunity offered by mixing doses. In a departure from other strategies globally, the government said people could be given a mix-and-match of two Covid-19 shots, for example if the same vaccine dose was out of stock, according to guidelines published on New Year's Eve.
- US logs more than 3,900 Covid-19 deaths in new daily record: Johns Hopkins
More than 3,900 people died of Covid-19 in the US Wednesday, according to a count released by Johns Hopkins University, a new daily record for fatalities from the virus. The US has begun a mass campaign of vaccinations and 2.8 million people have already received jabs.
- Will Covid-19 vaccines work on the new coronavirus variant?
A coronavirus variant in the United Kingdom has caused alarm because of the possibility that it might spread more easily. But even if that turns out to be true, experts say the Covid-19 vaccines being rolled out will likely still work on the variant.
- Top US doctor among 10 to get Mother Teresa Award
US physician and immunologist Dr Anthony Fauci, a leading figure in the fight against Covid-19, is among 10 recipients of Harmony Foundation’s Mother Teresa Memorial Awards for Social Justice this year. The awards (this year’s theme: Celebrating Compassion in Times of Covid-19) will be given virtually on December 27.
- Bhandara fire: Braveheart nurses raised alarm, facilitated rescue operations
Shubhangi Sathawane (32) and Smita Ambilduke (34), who were on duty nurses at the Sick Newborn Care Unit heard multiple blasts in the unit and rushed inside to find a big cloud of smoke. The duo immediately raised an alarm. Along with fire attendant Ajit Purjekar, the three bravehearts were able to save seven babies in the front room. The ten in the back room could not be saved.

ITANAGAR, 24 Nov: Legislative Assembly Speaker PD Sona on Thursday exhorted the youths of the state to “get high on life, not on drugs.”
The speaker said this while addressing a ‘mock parliament’ organised by the Arunachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly for the students of various colleges as part of the Constitution Day celebration on 26 November at the assembly complex here.
Reiterating that the drug menace is one of the biggest challenges in the society today, the speaker appealed to the youths to not indulge in substance abuse.
Further, dwelling on the right to freedom of speech and expression enshrined in the Constitution for every citizen, the speaker said, “When democracy gives us freedom, it also gives us responsibility,” and added that “people should always analyse and introspect before speaking out their opinions on any platform.”
Expressing serious concern over growing cybercrimes, cyber bullying, social media trolling and other related activities causing serious mental health issues among the youths, Sona suggested to the people, especially the youths, to use social media responsibly and for the good of others.
“Although the cyber world has opened a wide range of learning opportunities for the youth and children, these opportunities and the endless ocean of knowledge have some serious drawbacks, and one of the evils of this increase of knowledge and connectivity is cyber bullying,” the speaker said.
“Cybercrime has emerged as one of the biggest modern-day challenges,” he said, and urged the youths to “be responsible and make use of technology for productive things.”
SIC SP Anant Mittal, SIT SP Rohit Rajbir Singh, ICR SP Jimmy Chiram, TRIHMS Associate Professor Dr Rinjin Megeji, and IFS officer Rangphoa Ngowa attended the mock parliament as resource persons and spoke at length on a wide range of topics, such as cybercrimes, cyber bullying, trolling, mental health, and drug abuse.
Taliha MLA Nyato Dukam also attended the programme. (Speaker’s PR Cell)

At first I was afraid that you were making an ethnic stereotype.
You can't imagine how relieved I was when I read to the end
and discovered that it was only a typo, un-proofread.
1 mile = 5,280 feet
(16,300 feet) x (1 mile / 5,280 feet) = (16,300 / 5,280) mile = 3.087... mile .

P retty thinking of you card using Stampin' Up! products.
Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a cutting and scoring tool:
- card from Terracotta Tile Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Very Vanilla Cardstock
- 4-1/2" square from Mossy Meadow Cardstock
- 3-1/2" square from Very Vanilla Cardstock
- 1-1/4" x 3-1/4" from Terracotta Tile Cardstock
- 1-1/2" x 4" of white leaves on green background design from Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper
Place the large Very Vanilla rectangle on some Grid Paper on your work surface. Pick out the brick wall mask from the Pattern Party Decorative Masks. Place it over the cardstock so it covers the top 2/3 of the cardstock.
Tip: If desired, use pieces of washi tape to hold the cardstock and mask in place. Just make sure they don't cover anywhere that you want to have the pattern.
Rub a sponge quarter across the open Terracotta Tile Ink Pad to get it inky. Then, daub or rub it over the mask on top of the cardstock. Get more ink on the sponge quarter as needed.
Tip: Cut a Stamping Sponge into quarters. This makes it easier to control the sponge when using it and gives you more sponge pieces to work with.
Tip: I just clean my sponges when I'm done using them by running them under water until no more color is coming off. Then, I let them air dry. They may be stained, but they are clean enough to use with any color of ink in the future.
Tip: I also clean the masks by running them under water until no more color is coming off and then letting them air dry.
Adhere the piece of Magnolia Lane Designer Paper to the bottom of the stenciled vanilla rectangle.
Cut a 4-1/2" piece of Very Vanilla 3/8" Scalloped Lace Trim.
Lay the lace trim across the matted cardstock/designer paper rectangle so it covers the seam between the two pieces. Flip the cardstock over and fold the ends of the lace trim over. Adhere the ends of the lace trim in place with pieces of Tear & Tape Adhesive.
Remove the protective backing from the Tear & Tape strips and add more SNAIL to the back of the Very Vanilla cardstock. Adhere it to the front of the Terracotta Tile card.
Mount the large magnolia blossom surrounded by leaves image from the Good Morning Magnolia Set on Block F. Ink it up with the Mossy Meadow Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the Mossy Meadow square. Clean the stamp using the Simply Shammy and/or Stampin' Mist and Stampin' Scrub, but leave it on the block.
Pick out the large blossom and leaves die from the Magnolia Memory Dies. Put it on top of the stamped magnolia and leaves image on a platform on your cutting and embossing tool so it is centered over the image. Run through the tool.
Re-ink the large magnolia surrounded by leaves image using the Early Espresso Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the vanilla square so you get the flower portion of the image. Clean the stamp and put it away.
Use a Blender Pen to pick up ink from the lid of the Terracotta Tile Ink Pad to add some color to the folded edges and creases of the stamped flower image. Remember to stroke in one direction only so that the cardstock doesn't pill and tear. Clean the Blender Pen by scribbling on Grid Paper until no more color comes off.
Cut out the flower image by hand using Paper Snips.
Adhere the cut out flower to the center of the flower and leaves cut out.
Adhere the flower and leaves cut out to the front of the card so the big bottom leaf overlaps the ribbon a bit on the left side.
Mount the "thinking of you," "thanks," or "hello" sentiment from the Good Morning Magnolia Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Mossy Meadow Ink Pad. Stamp it on the strip of Terracotta Tile Cardstock.
Unlock the Timeless Label Punch. Holding the punch upside down so you can see the punching area, slide the stamped sentiment in and get it lined up in the center of the punching area. Punch.
Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment punch out to the front of the card so it is centered over the lace trim on the right side and covers the stem of the main image.
Cut a 4" piece of Very Vanilla 3/8" Scalloped Lace Trim.
Tie a half knot in the center. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the lace trim knot to the center of the left side of the sentiment punch out.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up a large gem from a sheet of Gold Faceted Gems making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to the center of the flower.

I thought it was time to reveal a little more about me, than what is listed on my Blogger profile. But sitting down to write and twiddling my thumbs for a little over half an hour, it's a little hard to figure out what to write and what not to write. How much to reveal, and yet not make this boring. I'm not that great when it comes to talking about myself. Ask my friends if you want :)
My full name is Aditya Vikram Mukherjee. My first and middle name comes by reversing 'Vikramaditya', the name of a well known king from our history. I think it was because my father had something against it, but had to keep it because my mother liked that name. He's not the most creative of people. I am 18 years old, and I'm a student at Manipal University, Karnataka. I'm studying Computer Sciences (Software), and hope to make something of myself in about 4-5 years time.
I can only describe myself as a 'geek'. All forms of the word's definitions fit me in probably some way or the other. I spend almost all my time on my computer, browsing coding sites, reading design, programming or humour blogs and trying to come up with the next 'big' idea for a hack or script that will make blogging on Blogger that much better. I am 'not' a nerd though, because I don't ace college or top my class or anything of that sort. I just happen to have a knack for programming I believe, and am smart enough to come up simple solutions for complicated problems (well, most of them atleast).
I'm a creative geek. I have worked on many designs in the past (regular readers of The Last Word would have seen the various design changes over time), and am currently working on my father's company's website. I design because I find it relaxing and soothing to my aching brain muscles. My other works can be seen at Three Halves, The ICAS Blog.
The only other big interest grabbing thing in my life is music. There is always sound of music coming from my hostel room at any given time of the day (after college hours), and it's not generally nice soft Backstreet Boys kinds. I've got Rock in my blood, and that's all I can listen to. I never get enough of it to try and switch to other genres, so that should give you an idea of how crazy it can get. I am currently hooked to Saliva, Keane, Papa Roach and John Mayer. Otherwise, I'm an obsessive fanatic of Pink Floyd, Guns N' Roses (Slash rules!), Red Hot Chili Peppers and Joe Satriani.
I'm quite a reserved person. If you're lucky, you'll get to see me out of my room without a proper reason. I love to sit with a hot cup of coffee, music in the back, my computer, snuggled in my bed and working on something new. That's probably my idea of a perfect way to spend time. I don't mind people's company, but after a while I start to get disoriented and just want to be alone. There are very few people who really know me, and anything you read here is going to be no more than 1/20th of what I'm about. It's just not in my nature to talk about myself and get people involved with my personal life at such a deep level. My friends get angry because of that sometimes, but hey! You can't change what you can't change!
The Last Word
This blog was born out of my love for the Internet and it's dynamic nature. There is something or the other happening at any given point of time, and it can get very exciting to try and stay on top of everything. Made even more interesting with the advent of blogs, and the whole concept of blogging, I wanted to have my own place to put up little ramblings and thoughts about things I saw and noticed around the web.
Being a sensitive guy, it soon strayed away from being a technical blog, to more of a personal one. I invited friends to join up as contributors, and all was good. I still wanted more viewers though, and coincidently I was introduced to the concept of Hacks for Blogger around the same time. I knew how to program a little, and seeing how seemingly small bits of code could create a rage, I decided to make my own hacks and stick to blogging about the web and three things I am very interested in, blogs, designs and codes. I was lucky lots of people came in to visit, and my readership grew steadily. Right now, I have 200+ subscribers, and 1700+ unique monthly viewers (latest Feedburner stats). All this, with a blog (technically) less than a year old. I am grateful to all my readers, and hope to continue the good work and see those numbers rise :)
I hope to stick with Blogger, although I have wanted to move over to Wordpress (I admit!) in the past. I was toying with the idea till a few weeks back, but now I have decided to stick around with Blogger atleast for this blog. The current template is called 'Golden Summer', and is the successor to 'Back in Beta' which I had to do away with because of it's sluggishness. I change my mind quite often, and am still in the hunt for a look I am comfortable keeping for a long time.
Get in touch
I'm not that hard to reach, and I usually answer all my mails in a day or so. Mails and comments (I prefer comments) are generally a better way to get in touch, because I really don't like adding a lot of contacts to my messenger. If you have good reason though, send me a mail, and I'll add you in. Hope you like this place. See you around! :)
