Here's What Industry Insiders Say About Personalized Jewelry Symbols.
Like a painter would use in creating their painting masterpiece, stamping Blanks are canvas. Options hand set VVS CZ Simulate diamonds over a durable solid stainless steel metal chain. At the moment, practically every fashion from Lat & Lo 's signature latitude and longitude coordinates jewelry is hand made, custom, from either 14k Gold Stuffed, Strong Gold or Solid Sterling Silver metals. 14K gold can have more copper or silver combined in 22K could have less.
A. I'd assume that it is referring to the overall diamond and sapphire carat weight. A. People have tried coating transparent laborious substances like SiO2 on brass articles (and possibly on gold plating) by CEPVD / PVD though I am gold filled vs gold plated not sure with what effect. All the items are One-Of-A-Sort, and we photograph each piece so you understand precisely what is going to arrive.
1) It could be that whoever stamped the ring with the metal type didn't stamp clearly sufficient and only the '1' is appearing as an alternative of the complete '10.' 2) It could be some sort of customized engraving on the ring. By The Sea Jewelry is the Web's OLDEST site for Sea Glass Jewelry over 25 years online. Anybody is usually a custom designer of stamping blanks and can need just some primary tools to get you started to make these masterpieces.
– The third finest base metal is chrome steel, that is the sort that watchmakers use and kitchenware producers depend on. A base metal resembling steel, brass or zinc is dipped into a shower of electroplating solution. A snake chain makes use of metal rings linked facet by aspect as an alternative of linked, making a bendable, textured chain.
Even if you aren't selling and also you need to know if a bit is gold, feel free to bring it in to Airport Plaza Jewelers The Kiosk and we'll gladly verify it over. A hammered finish on jewelry contains crater-like depressions on a metal floor adorned by a metalworker's hammer. Can there be different colors of gold engagement rings?
– Set Includes: 1x Micro Angel Piece Pendant, 1x 22 inch Franco Chain, 1x 30 inch Cuban Hyperlink Chain and customized black leatherette Gold Gods carrying bag. A. All jewellery must be stamped with the type of metal. Also referred to as a demi-hoop design, half-hoop earrings look just like the identify suggests, forming half a circle.

A message from you
Please take a few minutes to watch the video we made that put in perspective for us the need of clean water in countries not so fortunate as our own.
Last year we came across the GFA and were touched by their ministries providing much needed love and provision to those less fortunate. We wanted to donate a well ourselves, and hoped to raise money for two more.
1 John 3:18 (NIV)
18 Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth
Read below to learn about where donations go.
Jesus Wells increase the health standards of a village, allowing for children to be nourished and animals to be watered. The wells you provide are located in the village or community, so women and children no longer have to walk hours to find water.
With one well you can save an entire village from waterborne illnesses.
Unlike the dirty water from stagnant ponds, streams or old shallow wells, this water is clean and creates an awareness of good hygiene, leading to fewer medical problems and healthier people.
About Gospel for Asia
Since 1979, GFA has existed to fulfill one passion: seeing communities in Asia discover the same joy, hope and lasting peace we've found in Christ.
We serve to equip missionaries to minister throughout Asia. The projects funded through myGFA each play a significant part in helping missionaries serve more effectively and in transforming communities with the love of Christ.

Eye-to-eye on the Tokyo Metro
When you're riding on the Tokyo Metro, there's a good chance the other people on the train are either staring at their phones or sleeping.
I kind of understand the phone thing, since I'm one of those people who can't go very long without checking his phone. However, in Japan, checking phones rises to another level. On any given subway car that I was on last week, it seemed that at least half the people in the car had their phones out.
My guess is that the phones and sleeping (or at least closing your eyes) is an easy way to avoid making eye contact with fellow passengers. I've read that, in general, the Japanese avoid making direct eye contact with strangers. That seemed to be the case when we were there last week and during our trip to Tokyo in the summer.

Working with XCTest UI Testing Framework for iOS and AWS Device Farm
Device Farm provides support for XCTest UI testing framework for iOS, written in both Objective-C and Swift. The following information describes how to use this test framework with Device Farm test types.
What is XCTest UI Testing Framework?
XCTest UI Framework is the new testing framework introduced with Xcode 7. XCTest UI framework extends XCTest with UI testing capabilities. For more information, see User Interface Testing in the Testing with Xcode section of the iOS Developer Library.
Prepare Your iOS XCTest UI Tests
Before you upload iOS XCTest UI tests to Device Farm for testing, make sure that your iOS XCTest UI test runner bundle is contained within a properly formatted .ipa file. To create an .ipa file, you can place your my-project-nameUITest-Runner.app bundle in an empty Payload directory. Next, archive the Payload directory into a .zip file and then change the file extension to .ipa. The *UITest-Runner.app bundle is produced by Xcode when you build your project for testing, and it can be found in the Products directory for your project.
Upload Your iOS XCTest UI Tests
To run your iOS XCTest UI tests on a set of iOS devices in Device Farm, you upload your tests with the Device Farm console as follows:.
Sign in to the Device Farm console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/devicefarm.
In the list of projects, choose the option next to the project that you want to upload your tests to.
If the list of projects is not displayed, then on the secondary navigation bar, for Projects, choose the name of the project that you want to upload your tests to.
To create a new project, follow the instructions in Create a Project.
If the Create a new run button is displayed, then choose it.
On the Choose your application page, choose Upload.
Browse to and choose your iOS app file. The file must be an .ipa file.
Make sure that your .ipa file is built for an iOS device and not for a simulator.
Choose Next step.
On the Configure a test page, choose XCTest UI, and then choose Upload.
Browse to and choose the .ipa file that contains your iOS XCTest UI test runner. In this .ipa file, make sure that the contents are organized according to the instructions as described in Prepare Your iOS XCTest UI Tests.
Choose Next step, and then complete the remaining on-screen instructions to select the devices to run your tests on and to then start the run.
Taking Screenshots in iOS XCTest UI Tests
XCTest UI tests capture screenshots automatically for every step of your tests. These screenshots will be displayed in your Device Farm test report automatically. No additional code is required.
Additional Considerations for iOS XCTest UI Tests
Device Farm supports XCTest UI tests that are written in Objective-C and Swift.

There are some words that I've always found hard to use, hard to really understand, for example love, tolerance, forgiveness, peace.
I want to develop and become a better, kinder person and I suspect that to act out of love, tolerance and forgiveness is important. But the words are so BIG to me! Do you understand what I mean?
How can I love people I don't know? How is that possible? How can I be tolerant towards people that have the most horrible opinions and do terrible things?
Actually it is only the last few years that I have understood that it is the INTERPRETATION of the words that make the difference. If I think of love like the feeling I have for my daughter and expect to feel that towards everybody in the world, I will never succeed. And if I try to accept and understand the thoughts of someone doing horrible things I will make myself a victim and become a passive doll.
So I have to see the words from another angel.
"Tolerance is not about agreement or being vague about differences and disagreements. Tolerance is maintaining metta (loving kindness) towards those who hold views which are different from ours and which are even repugnant to us. Metta is the basic Buddhist attitude and tolerance is the application of that basic attitude to the area of difference and disagreement with others."
'Buddhist thoughts for a violent world' by Ratnaghosha (2003)
When I read this quote some years ago, that was something new to me. Until then I couldn't understand how one could be tolerant with all those crazy people in the world having such violent, egoistic, narrow views. To me that was to be passive! How could I just listen and smile if someone told me about his or her opinion and I thought that they were completely wrong? To just listen and smile would be being a coward, not fighting for a better world! Or at least feeling that I was dishonest to myself, by not telling the person about my opinion.
Then I was taught about the difference between being passive and being tolerant. As the quote above says, the point is not NOT to say my opinion, it is to do it in a kind way. To listen to the other person, to try to understand what he means and maybe even why he has this opinion. Then I can tell him my view, I can write articles, I can demonstrate, I can do anything I want to show my opinion, but I should do it in a kind way. I should not hurt or even kill him, I should not shout, humiliate or say mean things. I should respect him. I should respect the other person as an equal part of humanity.
I can see now how I often have felt as if my opinion, or rather I myself, have been threatened by somebody else's opinion. I felt that I sort of had to WIN, or I would have LOST. To be good at argumentation would be to be better at winning. That might be completely wrong then. I should not feel threatened next time. I shall try my best to accept that this other person thinks like this, and that I can tell him or her what I think if I feel that it would be good.
I shall express myself in a kind way, no matter what others say or think!

A Quaint little helper.....
It is true what they say, that 'like minds attract'. Mifs Ada Wixon proves a most generous & careful assistant here in the gallery. She is such a gentle creature, and loves to tend the gowns for me as I change the displays. We are sure to keep each other informed on the latest gossips and happenings in our respective townships. She is here in visit from Willow Township, some 3 days carriage to the east~ I hear the weather there extremely HOT and very unaccommodating to ones own skin.....
'Wixie' is a one of a kind late 18th century Queen Anne doll, c1794, and will be available on my TDIPT page this Aug. 15th. Since no proper girl ever travels alone, she will be accompanied by an older, wiser ladye of some years. Hope to see you there!

Kitchen Accoutrements: The Slow Cooker
4 comments :
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
I just discovered slow cookers and am obsessed. I "borrowed" one from my mom, and there is no way I'm giving it back (unless someone gets me that beautiful blue one you have listed).This is my favorite recipe so far:ReplyDelete
http://www.pipandebby.com/pip-ebby/2011/11/18/slow-cooker-cilantro-lime-chicken.html (I can't figure out if this is actually linking, but it's on my Pinterest Recipes board, called slow cooker cilantro lime chicken).
I shred it for tacos/burritos. It is so easy and delicious. I want a slow cooker recipe for pulled pork/BBQ pork that doesn't call for soda.
Wow thats the prettiest slow cooker I have ever seen. I may need to add it to my Christmas list. I got a slow cooker cookbook and now an intrigued to try a bunch of things this winter..plus I associate them with comfort foods and we all know comfort foods and winter go together like spaghetti and meatballs:) Will keep you posted!ReplyDelete
I love my slow cooker and the blue and white one is fabulous. I've printed your creamy chicken noodle soup. I hope to prepare it this weekend, rainy in Southern California.ReplyDelete

Project Info
Pearl West Office Tower
Portland, Oregon
237,000 sf
Completed 2016
LEED Gold
Hacker in collaboration with GBD Architects
Inspired by the warehouse buildings of the historic Pearl District, Pearl West is a nine-story office building that responds to the different views, street character, and pedestrian experiences of Northwest Portland. The ground floor is home to 10,000 sf of retail space and features a solid building edge and a deep façade, increasing sidewalk depth and making space for café tables for a more pedestrian-friendly block. A dramatic canopy, reminiscent of the canopies over loading docks, marks the main entrance, and a covered terrace on the top floor offers views east to the mountains.

Bank Holiday weekend was lovely - spent with family which was nice - we went to Sunday roast with Mark (my youngest) and Zoey his fiancee to meet her Mum and yeh the dinner was lovely with swede my favorite - no-one else seems to like but Joyce does and and rather alot of red wine - so all good. I had coffee and muffins with Caroline whilst doing the weekly shop and caught up on her news. Then my eldest came round for tea and cake and told all about their holiday so all good.
Then back to work and trying to finish projects
I started this quilt made with two jelly rolls at Debden in August, it is finally put together but needs backing and wadding.
Ages ago I decided to make some Linus quilts and cleared out my pile of fat quarters in the stash as I found a pattern using fat quarters called Pot Luck - didn't like the results looked horrid - so having found the dumped pile decided the time had come to do something - chucking was looking like a very good option!!! Anyway I am seperating the blocks with black sashing and now they look better - going to put a bright border on and then they may be saved!!!
Oh thought you might like to see our naughty cat - I was busy on the phone upstairs last night talking to my sister and Poppy decided she was just too exhausted to listen so she found a nice warm spot to rest her head - cheeky madam!!
We actually have two very tiny baby fish in the aquarium at present - but I suspect the big one's will find them very tasty - shame but that is the way these things go.
Well best go and get on and try and finish something - sometimes you just find that everything seems an effort and that appears to be me at present!!

HARRISBURG — Graham Spanier was found guilty of one charge of child endangerment and not guilty of the second charge of child endangerment or conspiracy.
Spanier, former Penn State president, made no reaction as the verdict was read.
The jury was made up of five men and seven women.
This marks the end of a the six-year legal battle over the case.
Spanier faced three felony charges for his role in allegedly covering up incidents involving Jerry Sandusky and his abuse of children at Penn State. A felony for endangering the welfare of children carries a maximum sentence of seven years and the conspiracy charge also carried a seven-year maximum sentence.
Spanier — Penn State's president from 1995 to 2011 — served during the 1998 and 2001 reports of child sexual abuse by Sandusky.
Tim Curley and Gary Schultz pled guilty to misdemeanor child endangerment charges, which carry up to a five-year sentence.
Schultz, former Penn State vice president for finance and business, and Curley, former athletic director, testified in the trial along with others involved with the 2001 report of child sexual abuse, and a 1998 report and investigation.
Both former administrators testified, on Wednesday about their regrets for not reporting a 2001 incident where Sandusky was allegedly spotted in the showers.
Spanier currently has two civil lawsuits he filed pending trail from his role in the Sandusky child sex abuse case.
Spanier filed a defamation suit against Louis Freeh for accusing him of covering up allegations of sexual abuse against Sandusky, who is now serving a 30 to 60 year sentence for 45 counts of child sex abuse. Spanier was removed from his position as the university's president following Sandusky's arrest in 2011.
He also filed a lawsuit against Penn State for violating the terms of his separation agreement.
Penn State counter-sued Spanier in his lawsuit against the university. The counter-claims stipulate that since Spanier failed to disclose his knowledge of prior incidents involving Jerry Sandusky, he violated his duty to Penn State, as previously reported by The Daily Collegian.
This article by Frank Esposito originally appeared in The Penn State Daily Collegian, the student newspaper at Penn State.

Join Justin Seeley for an in-depth discussion in this video Using multiple file place, part of Illustrator CC 2013 New Features.
It's no secret that you have the ability to place files inside of an Illustrator document. …Whether it's a PSD file, a JPEG, or even a TIF. …But, up until this update, you didn't have the ability to place multiple files …at a single time. Much the same way you do inside of InDesign. …But now, that's all changed. Let's take a look. …I'm going to go into the File> Place. Once I go into my file folder here, what …I'm going to do is locate these four images. …And I'm going to select them and hit Place. …This is going to load my cursor with those four images. …And I can cycle through those with my arrow keys on my keyboard.…
When I find the photo that I'm ready to place, I just go to where I want to put …it, click. And it gets dropped right in. …Cycle through to find the next one, click, and if it makes a mistake like …that you can always command and Ctrl+z it and click to place it just like so. …Cycle through to find the next one and instead of clicking this time, though, …I'm just going to click and drag a box. Once it's the right width and height, …

A recent article in the Washington Post describes an interesting scenario, whereby health insurance premiums within a company are linked to workers' wages.
Archive for health insurance
Health Insurers Fall Flat with Information Websites
ForeSee, a customer analytics firm, has released its fourth annual healthcare benchmark. The new survey shows that according to consumers, health insurance websites vastly underperform other kinds of healthcare sites. Health insurance companies received an aggregate satisfaction score of 51 on the report's 100-point scale, placing the industry far behind other healthcare categories measured in the benchmark, including health information websites (78) and hospital and health system websites (78). In fact, health insurance is among the lowest of the nearly 100 benchmark categories that ForeSee tracks. Only websites for cable companies, telephone utilities, and cell phone companies have aggregate scores lower than health insurance companies.

Welcome to the best site on the net for viewing and identifying all of the hundreds of thousands of models on the internet. We run a clean, legal, site by only allowing our members to share links to legitimately freely hosted galleries. That said, Here are our rules and advice in full.Every Post (General rules)If by some weird chance you know a models real name, address, or profession, keep it to yourself! We respect the models privacy and safety. Posting personal information could get you banned.Do not share copyrighted materials, wares, links to full ( c ) video etc.Banned websites are banned for a reason. If you mistakenly post a link to a banned site, please edit your post and remove it so that we don't have to. Or, if your posting a link to full content that is not yet banned then thank you, we can add that to the list.A work-around is you telling someone to just remove the * from xv*ideos.com. Do this and you will be banned without warning or question.
Requests (teens / celebs / themes / 30+): #1 If you know her name try using the search first. Odds are, really, that she probably already has a thread here and it would save everyone time and effort if you just did your part to try and find her here first before you request a model.#2 One request per day. Choose carefully because you can only begin one request per day. If you begin another request before 24 hours has passed it will likely be spotted by a moderator and locked or removed. Mods will check your recent posts and in some cases (if you abuse this rule) all of your requests may become locked or deleted.#3 One girl per request. Don't post a gallery or upload an image of multiple models and ask who are they? It will be locked. Every model needs a specific fan thread. If you post a multi model gallery, ask.. Who is the brunette? Then wait 24 hours and begin a new thread to ask, who's the blonde (in a separate request thread)?It is recommended that you include the key information that you know about your model in question in your threads title. Such as her name (if known), aliases and websites.. Milena (Errotica-Archives) Milana F (MET-Art), or even a set title if one exists.The Report Post function:Please click the report post button if...Someone has posted something entirely off topic (spam)Someone has posted a link to content that is clearly underageSomeone is flaming (negative non constructive feedback)Do not report:Dead linksBroken imagesRules for your signatures:No spam, no Illegal shit (wares or CP) etc.You may share one liners, catch phrases, short jokes, links to profiles, and inbound peachy links leading to threads and such. No outbound to your private site or blog unless you're a verified model.It's rather simple really. If you have questions, or recommendations. Please feel free to comment here.

My Dear Sholly
I'm so grateful to God that you are far away from all the drama going on down here right now. As if losing you isn't devastating enough, we are now dealing with your husband, Kuba claiming it was your wish to be cremated. Sholly? Really? Cremated ke? Why would you want that? It's not our culture.
As hard as I find this to believe it's even harder to believe you would not have told me if it were so. You told me everything! We hid nothing from each other! If it is true this 'unholy' discussion about how you wanted to be cremated and about how no one in your family was to be allowed to see your body ever took place, I can only wonder why? Why? Who discusses such things? You were not sick and you are not old. So what would have warranted such a discussion between you and Kuba?
So, in spite of all our pleading with your husband, In spite of us getting the Nigerian embassy in Poland involved and him being directed to hold till a family member gets there and sees you, your husband cremated your body on January 2. Ah! It breaks my heart. How could Kuba do this to me? To my family? Aburo mi? It pains me deeply.
Kuba says you said nobody must see your body. He says you said that only I will be permitted to see you yet he refused to wait for me and my husband to process our visas and conclude travel plans. Truth is, these discussions just boggle the mind! Why were you two discussing this kind of matter? And what's is the evidence?
I am being made to understand that in Poland, Kuba as your husband, has the final say because you have officially taken his last name and that's fine. As horrifying as this cremation idea was to us, we were prepared to honor your supposed wishes. All we asked for was the opportunity to pay you our last respects first as a family. Kuba has denied us of that and for this I leave him and his family to God to mete out vengeance on my behalf.
Yes, Sholly, they must pay for robbing us, me, your SisterMom of closure. For thinking it right that we should travel all the way from Nigeria to look into an urn full of ashes! Ah! What a tragedy this is! How painful!!! My darling, I did not travel to Poland for that. You are not in the ashes. Neither were you in the lifeless body anymore but most people, faiths and cultures I know make provision for a lying in state ceremony during which family and friends of a lost love one can pay their last respects. It soothes them and brings closure.
Why your husband has chosen not to give us this 'gift' is beyond me. To any friends of Kuba reading this, please ask him. Why? Why would he do this to us? Why couldn't he just wait for me to get to Poland?
As much as I don't want to, I just can't help wonder if Kuba and his family are hiding something. Because if there's nothing to hide, why the hurry to cremate Sholly? If there is nothing to hide why the blunt refusal to let a family member see her body on my behalf? Why😭?
I know you Sholly, you would not have wanted to deny me or your family of this. But it's fine, you are here with me in my heart. You are in the hearts of all of us that love you dearly. So we leave your husband to God. The final Judge.
There are many lessons you are teaching us Sholly through all this. Especially we parents and siblings. This is the first and chief: If your child or sibling living abroad meets and chooses to marry a non-African and live far away from home? BEFORE they marry they must visit your home country. So they will understand that your child or sibling has roots, people and didn't drop from the sky! There is no point crying over spoiled milk but how I wish Prof had insisted you visit Nigeria with Kuba. Maybe, then it would not have been so easy for him to disrespect us as he has.
To my dear African woman /any one from any where, married to anyone not from their own country. I believe Sholly's story has a message for you too: Don't live on 'Love Fantasy' island. Stay connected to your roots. Have a will and let one other person apart from your husband know your wishes about the important stuff should you pass. As much as possible, have a relative that knows what's going on in your life. The big stuff like taking out life insurance, building a home, etc. Family back home must have phone numbers and addresses of key friends they can call should you be in trouble and untraceable.
My sister loved her husband. I believe he adored her too. To me, they had a great relationship and as much as she shared everything with me, I see now how wide open I left her. No matter how much he loved her Kuba should not have been allowed to believe he was her only family that mattered. And he felt that way because he didn't 'feel' the presence of her Nigerian family enough.
Sholly, it is well. Because God is still God and I know you are at peace. All this has happened only because God permitted. So while it has left me broken right now, I know that I, Salt will come through this still standing and so will my whole family. One day at a time.
Aburo, ma worry. We will organise a befitting memorial service for you here in Nigeria and by the grace of God, we will all then begin our journey towards healing from this double deep cuts of losing you and dealing with this unnecessary drama. I just thought I should let you know and explain that we did all we could to right this wrong. But God knows best.
Love you Aburo mi Owon!
My Mrs. Gaska!
Sun re o!
Iwo wa!
Please visit Sholly's memorial page on Facebook

Thank you.

German Reality ShowsAs many people are aware, I watched WAY too much reality television in the US. You name it: Survivor, the Amazing Race, Princes of Malibu, The Osbournes, Newlyweds... I think I saw everything at least once.
I hoped I would break my terrible habit in Germany. Germany has lots of public television with documentaries and variety shows with lederhosen-wearing singers, right? Well yes, this is true. But Germany is also not lacking in the reality programming department.
Big Brother still seems to be popular here. There is also a German version of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.
But hands down, my favorite reality show so far in Die Hausmeister. A Hausmeister is the person who maintains and manages your apartment building. Actually I don't like the term Hausmeister (a literal translation would be "house master.") It sounds a little creepy and sinister. But the show is a RIOT and portrays Hausmeisters in a very positive light!
The program follows three or four hausmeisters as they keep their buildings free of fire, vermin, hoodlums and other dangers. My favorite hausmeister last week was Frank, who is in charge of a student dorm in Dortmund. During the episode he explained to students why they could not repaint their bedroom walls with kitchen mops and why live-in girlfriends have to register with the proper authorities (Germans are big on registering!) He also went door-to-door to find out whose underwire bra broke the communal washing machine. And he gave one poor misguided student a cooking lesson, when he found the student trying to boil water with a trivet over the burner. Meanwhile, 2 hausmeisters were busying investigating a "mouse" that turned out to be a faulty smoke detector. And another Hausmeister sprang into action, breaking down the door of an apartment that had cigarette ashes smoldering in a trash can. I cannot really see my 65 year old hausmeister Mrs. Blinde breaking my door down! I better not burn anything this year!
So there you have it, a small recap of Die Hausmeister. What will they do next week? Stay tuned...

Heart Failure
What is heart failure?
The term "heart failure" makes it sound like the heart is no longer working, when it really means that the heart isn't pumping as well as it should be.
What are the symptoms?
- Shortness of breath
- Persistent coughing or wheezing
- Fatigue
- Increased heart rate
- Lack of appetit or nausea
- Confusion or impaired thinking
What treatment options are available?
Heart Transplant
A heart transplant is an operation in which a failing, diseased heart is replaced with a healthier, donor heart. While a heart transplant is a major operation, your chance of survival is good with appropriate follow-up care.
Ventricular Assist Device
A ventricular assist device (VAD) is an implantable mechanical pump that helps pump blood from the lower chambers of your heart (the ventricles) to the rest of your body. VADs are used in people who have weakened hearts or heart failure. When placed in the left ventricle they are called left ventricular assist devices (LVADs).
You may have a VAD surgically implanted for two different reasons: Bridge to Transplant (BTT) or Destination Therapy (DT). Patients who are a good heart transplant candidate but are at risk for imminent death may receive the HeartMate II as a BTT while allowing more time for your heart and other vital organs to become strong enough to receive a heart transplant. In Destination Therapy (DT), the HeartMate II can be used to provide long-term permanent cardiac support for patients who are not eligible to receive a heart transplant. At Baptist Health, we implanted our first DT HeartMate II in February 2010. We are currently the only hospital in the state that offers the HeartMate III and are in the top four centers in the country for the numbers of HeartMate III's that have been implanted.
Total Artificial Heart
The Syncardia Total Artificial Heart is a battery-operated device that contains the same components as a real human heart and serves as a bridge to transplant. Baptist Health is the first in the state to implant a Total Artificial Heart.
Baptist Health Heart Failure and Transplant Institute offers seamless care for advanced heart failure patients - from management to ventricular assist device to transplantation.
No other hospital in the state can offer this level of care.
Heart Failure Hot Line
You may have some anxiety about doing too much too soon, have questions about your medications, or simply need professional reassurance that symptoms you're experiencing are not related to a new cardiac event.
With the Baptist Health Heart Failure Hot Line, you have a convenient and valuable resource right at your fingertips. Baptist Health eICU care critical care nurses with a background in cardiology answer calls to the hot line 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
To reach one of our specialized nurses, call 501-202-4200 or 1-844-250-8107 anytime, any day of the week.
What are the patient outcomes?
The best advocates for the care you can expect from Baptist Health are the patients themselves. Hear success stories from a few of our patients.
Chadarius Johnson, Arkansas' first Total Artificial Heart Recipient
Dr. John Ransom, HeartMate III Trial
Gary Henson, HeartMate III Patient
Paul Lipsmeyer, Heart Transplant Patient (2:00)
When Paul Lipsmeyer's heart failed him, he knew he was in a fight for his life. What he didn't know is that his new heart would open up a whole new world for him.
James Edmondson, Ventricular Assist Device & Heart Transplant Patient (4:13)
James Edmondson couldn't climb a flight of stairs without feeling fatigued. He would need a ventricular assist device while waiting for a heart transplant -- two procedures in Arkansas performed only at Baptist Health Heart Institute.
Chuck Simons, Artificial Heart Patient (2:58)
When Chuck suffered from a severe case of heart disease that would ultimately require a transplant, the HeartMate II implant gave him peace of mind while waiting for a donor heart.
Phoenix Bolden, Artificial Heart Patient (1:49)
Through cardiac rehab, Phoenix is learning about his ventricular assist device implant, improving his diet and growing stronger every day.
Frankie Walker, Heart Patient
Frankie Walker was born amazing, but not perfect. At an early age, he and his family realized that he had inherited a serious heart condition from his father – an enlarged heart that needed immediate attention.
Baptist Health implanted a pacemaker when Frankie was only 21. However, Frankie didn't slow down. As a musician and rapper, he continued to perform on stage. But when his heart couldn't stay in rhythm, Dr. John Ransom determined that he needed a Heartmate LVAD to assist him until a donated heart for transplant became available.
As he waits for a heart donor, Frankie continues to write lyrics and enjoy spending time with his children. "Seeing them running, jumping, and playing – that's what keeps me going," says Frankie. "They're my motivation."
Courtney Osborn, Heart Failure Patient

When it comes to clothing and textiles, this part of the subcontinent has been famous in so many ways. We had the extraordinary skills of weaving muslins, the best indigo for dyeing clothes and so much more! Although most of those have disintegrated, the art and creativity of weaving remained. What started as small cottage industry has now become one of the largest sari industries of this region. Yes, we are speaking of the ultimate sari hub, Benarasi Palli. This week we travelled to that part of the city and explored through the narrow lanes to find out the how it started and where we are now.
The Benarasi Palli is located in the north-western edge of the capital and occupies a large area from Mirpur 10 to 11. The history of Benarasi Palli can be dated back to the partition of India in 1947. Many families from Benaras, presently Varanasi, a well known city of India, came to this part of the border and settled at different places of Dhaka and its surrounding areas. With them they brought the skill of weaving the famous Benarasi sari. After our liberation war, this group of people became the permanent residents of Bangladesh. They started to make their living by weaving and selling saris of such kind.
During the 1990s, few Gadi Ghars were established. These were the manufacturing factories as well as both retail and whole sale centers. The demand of the saris kept increasing and more and more people joined this business. Eventually it turned into a complete village in 1995. The locals claim that it comprises an area of 150 acres, but it is subjected to verification. There are 131 shops at present and thousands of people involved in the process. Though the craft of making Benarasi sari was brought in by non-Bengalis, gradually the number of Bengali artisans has also risen and at present the number of Bengali artisans is almost equal to those of non-Bengalis
Enough with the background check, it is time to hit the street. The entire area is divided into lanes and sub lanes with show rooms on both sides. Each showroom has a special man appointed outside the door to draw the attention of customers. As you walk through the lanes, you will hear people calling you from here, there are everywhere. Here are more than hundred shops. You will come across the large air conditioned showrooms as well as small low lit ones. But regardless the size of the shops, the creativity, dedication and hard work in making this traditional pieces is visible everywhere. First we visited the S.S Sharee World where the director Md Mahabubur Rahman gave us an overall view of the products and prices available here. Depending on his guide lines, we started off to check the racks.
As the name suggests, the first thing you will come across is Benarasi saris. It is a special kind of silk sari made in only a few places in the world – Varanasi, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, a small number in Pakistan and Mirpur in Bangladesh. These saris are traditionally used for wedding purpose. They are made in a gorgeous fabric, with old motifs woven into the design. In the world of fashion Benarasi Sari has been a subject of much appreciation for world-wide costume connoisseurs.
Beside Benarasi, here you can find lot more other textures too. There are katan, jamdani, raw silk, silk jamdani, half silk, cotton, andy cotton, kota, brocade, georgette saris and many more.
Here you will get saris of all possible colours and shades. Although the red colour is and will be the popular choice of wedding sari for many years to come, people are also experimenting on different shades of blue, pink and green. We found the white saris to be an absolute elegant choice. But white also had different versions. We have seen the golden white, the creamy white and the off white. You can find sophisticated sari with less work as well as heavy studded flashy saris. The wedding sari starts from Tk 5,000 and goes up to Tk 1,20,000.
Apart from wedding saris, there two other major types available. One is party wear and another is casual wear. The party wear saris have wide array of options. There are the light coloured ones for day time and the dark shades for evening event. Silk, katan, jamdani and georgette are popular choice here. The price of such kind starts from Tk 2,000 and ranges between Tk 4,000.
The casual saris are mostly of cotton and simple jamdani. There are options for people of all ages. These are priced between Tk 1,000 and Tk 2,000. Cotton saris are highly demanded in this season but you need to give some effort in finding a design of your choice. But one thing you need to keep in mind is that most prices here are subjected to negotiation. So make sure you justify the price before making your final decision.
Benarasi Palli also offers you to customize your own sari. Be it in bulk for 'Gaye Holud' programs or single pieces, all can be done here. The price shall depend on what type of design you want and your preference of cloth. You will find more than fifty shops selling different design and decorative materials. There are expert tailor shops too so you need not to worry about your blouse piece.
The best part of this place is that it fulfills the demand of all classes of people. A middle class woman can get a good wedding sari within her budget whereas the upper class has options for high end saris as well as average priced ones. Especially for the wedding rituals, where you need to buy many saris for dozens of people, this is actually a good place both price and quality wise.
The sari industry of Bangladesh as a whole has gone through various ups and downs. There was a time when a large group of people leaned towards buying foreign clothes, especially from our neighbouring countries. During that time the local industry had a tough time competing and many people left this trade. The business of Benarasi Palli was hit very badly. But at present, the trend of buying our own products is back and the Mirpur area is once vibrating with customers. With the Eid and wedding season approaching, we are sure that you already have few saris in your list. So why don't you take out a day and explore Benarasi Palli? We assure that you will not be disappointed.

WESTMINSTER (CBS) — Bond was set at $1 million for the Garden Grove woman accused of severing her estranged husband's penis with a 10-inch kitchen knife appeared in court Friday.
Catherine Kieu, 48, faces charges of torture and aggravated mayhem. She allegedly drugged the victim's food to make him sleepy, cut of his penis, and placed it in the garbage disposal.
KNX 1070's Ron Kilgore reports.
She then called 911 and told responding officers that her husband, whose name has not been released, "deserved it."
He has since been released from the hospital.
Kieu was scheduled to be arraigned Friday, but her lawyer asked for a continuance. Her arraignment was rescheduled for Sept. 23.
Kieu did not enter a plea Friday. If convicted on all counts, she could face life in prison without parole.

Limerick Reviews and Summaries
The Lost Art of Keeping Secrets by Eva Rice
A few thoughts on the "cash for peerages" scandal
Oh dear. It seems that the Labour Government has got itself into a bit of a pickle over loans the party has received and a possible link between lenders and awards of life peerages. It turns out that we're not talking about small change here - the amounts total nearly £14 million.
Predictably, Labour ministers have blurted out that all this is totally legal. Which, no doubt, it is. Unfortunately that's simply not good enough. Gordon Brown, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, has been criticising companies over the last few years for exploiting tax avoidance schemes. Tax avoidance is the use of legal means to reduce the tax that a company or an individual pays, as opposed to tax evasion, which is the blatant refusal to pay tax that is legally due. Companies are evil, we are told, because they are exploiting the precise letter of the law instead of following the original intention of the law and thereby paying the tax that is due. But that's exactly what Labour is doing over these smelly loans! No matter what the letter of the law says, Labour should have voluntarily disclosed them.

Katie's social calendar
It's probably very simple why our social calendar is completely full this time of year. Katie was born in March, we met lots of other kids born in March, hence all the parties. That doesn't explain everything, though. In the next two weeks we have birthday parties, ballet recitals, baby christenings, friends and family coming over, a mini-marathon, drinks at friends, Easter egg hunts and a few dozen other things I am probably forgetting.
All this socialising is thrilling for Katie. Every day she asks if she can bring someone home or, at the very least, if she can stay afterschool. I guess the nightmares and crying out in her sleep ("No! Don't hit me with the balloon!") aren't indicative of hating school. Yesterday we had the new and exciting experience of playing with BOYS. They were probably the gentlest, sweetest, most adorable boys in the greater London area, but Katie was wary. I think they said BOO! to her early on, and she was scared for the rest of the party. It didn't dampen her enthusiasm for the party, though, so all is good.
Katie's school is all girls, so we don't get a whole lot of boy time. I am still not sure what this will mean to Katie's development. I know academically she should do better than in a co-ed environment. We also have loads of wonderful little boys on our street who think Katie is cool, so she's not living in a totally girl-centric universe.
When we arrived at the party the boys introduced themselves as Spiderman and Red Ranger. Katie decided she was a mermaid named Cinderella. Spiderman said Spiderman never met Cinderella, so they decided to make up a new story. Pretty cool stuff. It's good to be reminded just how fun and wonderful boys can be. (Katie's party will be in two weeks - all pink tutus and fairy wings with nary a spider or a ranger in sight.)

Dear Mom
I hope you know how excited we are that you're coming to visit. Katie tells us every few minutes what she's going to do when you're here. This morning she woke up with a rapturous look on her face and said, "Gramma's coming on Saturday! It's just so exciting!" Buffy is also very happy and excited, but that could also be because she found a dirt clod on the floor.
I must warn you that Katie thinks her birthday is immediately after your arrival. I've tried explaining, but it's not really getting through. I guess it's because this year is the first time she really understands enough to find birthdays wonderful. She is thrilled. Her invitations went out yesterday, and this morning several little girls ran up to her exclaiming, "Katie! We're coming to your party!" I hope both Katie and her classmates appreciate this party is also to celebrate M's birthday. If M is bummed out when she comes in second in the race to the steps, I'd hate to see what happens if people think her party is just for Katie. Fair play to her, I'd be pissed off, too.
You probably don't know this, but you will be here for Mothering Sunday. It's the same day as Buffy's christening. I am so happy I get to spend that day actually with my Mama. I'll give you lots of cuddles, probably some sort of card type thing, and at least one mother-daughter spat. It just wouldn't feel right if we didn't argue some of the time.
We will fight, I will be snotty. For that I am deeply sorry in advance. I hope that I am always improving. I hope you know that I never want to be snotty. I want us to have every day be like those days that we get - you know those days, those amazing days where everything clicks and we solve all the world's problems. You and me against the world, remember?
I hope you have a very safe and uneventful flight. I wish you drinkable wine, exact change for an extra bottle if you fancy it, a tall, bearded, friendly seatmate, and crappy films so you can rest.
See you on Saturday!

Buffy vs Katie
I was just sitting here reading Dooce, as you do, when an infernal crash landed two feet from my two feet. Buffy managed to topple the entire bucket of Lego onto the floor. Instinctively, I braced myself for the kitten howl of misery that always accompanies such crashes. Andrew was similarly braced. Buffy looked up and me and smiled as if to say, "Did you see that? That was COOL!� That's when we remembered that Buffy isn't Katie.
Looking at their pictures lends credence to our claim that we have twins born 3 1/2 years apart. Except for a couple extra rolls of chub, Katie and Buffy are eerily similar. Physically, that is. Not in personality. At all.
Buffy is right now trying to either pull herself up onto any available support or bring whatever's on top of it crashing down around her. This very second she is playing with Katie's unsturdy plastic chair, trying to decide if she wants to climb it, eat the book sitting on it, or put the whole thing on her head. Fortunately, she's still a highly distractable baby and has opted to eat the remote instead. This is why I leave these things lying around the floor. It's not about untidiness, it's about carefully placed distractions. Crap, she's got my bookmark, brb.
Having these girls so far apart, we thought there was no way Buffy would catch up before her mid-twenties. We forgot to tell her that, though. She is in some kind of mad rush to catch up with her big sister. Instead of being content to sit and play happily with a toy, as soon as she mastered sitting, she went straight for crawling. She hasn't been crawling that long and isn't that good at it. Still, she's trying hard to pull herself up on the furniture to try cruising. Sheesh, kiddo, there is time aplenty to do all of these things.
The exciting news is Gramma arrives on Saturday to marvel at our talented girls and confirm our suspicions that we have made the best grandbabies a lady could hope for.

Chew on This
Guess who has a tooth? Buffy! She just cut it today or last night. I think she probably cut it on my friend's finger at Starbucks while we were discussing the joys of hiking with almost-four-year olds. I guess that means I'm the second person to know, but I don't care. She's been working on this for months and months. It explains the vile poops, the drooling, the faucet nostrils, the attitude... Grumpy Buffy is sort of like a mildly sleepy puppy - not unhappy just not AS happy as before.
Must go, Puppy Buffy is crawling around with a toy in her mouth. I guess we're up for another round of fetch. (You think I'm joking, don't you?)

Posh Tea for Eight
Okay, good children once, sheer dumb luck; good children twice, this is starting to feel like more than a coincidence. In fact, we are feeling like super parents right now and our heads have grown three sizes too big. Yesterday, we took Katie and Buffy to a very posh tea with Granny, Granddad, Aunty Cathy and Uncle John. Our little girls knocked our socks off. They were so good! Maybe it's just the valium we gave them on the trainride over there, but they were perfect children. Katie ate her finger sandwiches and cakes very dantily. She only spilled a blueberry on her cardigan when I tried to feed it to her. I guess that means I spilled it on her, not the other way around. Buffy smiled and cooed until I fed her* and she went to sleep in a warm, adorable lump on Andrew's chest.
*I asked the exceedingly friendly staff if there was a quiet, discreet corner in which I could nurse Buffy. They looked confused and worried for half a second then they gave me a ROOM! I started to feel a tiny bit indignant until my senses returned and I realised I could check out a ROOM in this amazing hotel. It was obviously designed by someone who knew his stuff. The closet handles were made of stripy stained glass. There was a bidet in the generous bathroom. The toilet paper was folded into a little triangle. Really, I just got down to business so the scones wouldn't be gone before I got back to the table. This didn't leave much time for exploring.
The whole tea experience was amazing. It's like it was designed specifically to facilitate conversation. The finger sandwiches, the dainty cakes, the tea, the unobtrusive yet attentive staff, and, Oh God, the scones with jam and clotted cream were all sidenotes to the easy conversation. Expressing our buried sexist tendencies, the females spread out on the sofa and the men sat in chairs opposite. This was perfect for Katie and Buffy who moved around the sofa comfortably uninhibited.
As Ferris says, if you have the means, I highly recommend it.
