'Extreme' Exposure to Secondhand Cannabis Smoke Causes Mild Intoxication
Nonsmokers sharing an unvented area with heavy marijuana smokers in some cases may not have passed a drug screen
Secondhand exposure to cannabis smoke under "extreme conditions," such as an unventilated room or enclosed vehicle, can cause nonsmokers to feel the effects of the drug, have minor problems with memory and coordination, and in some cases test positive for the drug in a urinalysis. Those are the findings of a Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine study, reported online this month in the journal Drug and Alcohol Dependence.
Cannabis is the most widely used illicit drug in the world. "Many people are exposed to secondhand cannabis smoke," says lead author Evan S. Herrmann, Ph.D., a postdoctoral fellow in psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Johns Hopkins. "The scenario we looked at was almost a worst-case scenario. It could happen in the real world, but it couldn't happen to someone without him or her being aware of it."
"We found positive drug effects in the first few hours, a mild sense of intoxication and mild impairment on measures of cognitive performance," says senior author Ryan Vandrey, Ph.D., an associate professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Johns Hopkins. "These were relatively slight effects, but even so, some participants did not pass the equivalent of a workplace drug test."
The new research is the most comprehensive study of secondhand cannabis smoke and its effects since the 1980s, when researchers found the drug's active ingredient, tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, and other cannabis byproducts could turn up in nonsmokers' bodies after an hour or more spent in extreme conditions with heavy smokers in an enclosed space. That finding needed updating, since the average potency of street cannabis has tripled since the 1980s, the Johns Hopkins researchers wrote. Additionally, many earlier studies did not look at whether the nonsmokers reported feeling the drug's effects, or whether their behavior and thinking were affected by secondhand smoke, as the new study did.
Researchers recruited seven people ages 18 to 45 who said they smoked cannabis at least twice per week and tested positive for THC, but who tested negative for other drugs, and 12 others in the same age range who said they had not used cannabis in the past six months and tested negative for cannabis, other drugs, and alcohol. None of the participants were pregnant, and none of the nonsmokers took part in more than one session.
Six smokers and six nonsmokers spent an hour sitting side by side in a 10-by-13-foot, acrylic-walled room in two different experimental sessions. Each smoker was given 10 high-potency cannabis cigarettes to smoke. In one session, the room's ventilation fans were turned on. In another session, the fans were turned off, and the room became smoke-filled. This was a realistic simulation of home ventilation conditions. At the end of the exposures, smokers' and nonsmokers' blood, urine, saliva and hair were tested at regular intervals for THC.
All six nonsmokers who spent an hour exposed to secondhand smoke in the unventilated room under extreme conditions had detectable amounts of THC in their urine and blood. THC in blood was observed immediately after exposure and for up to three hours afterwards.
Four hours after the experiment ended, one nonsmoker tested positive for THC on a urine test with the same cutoff (50 nanograms per milliliter) used in the Federal Workplace Drug Testing Program. At intervals between two and 22 hours after the experiment, four of the six nonsmokers tested positive for THC in their urine at a lower cutoff (20 nanograms per milliliter) sometimes used in commercial drug testing programs.
None of the nonsmokers exposed to secondhand smoke in the ventilated room tested positive for THC on either the more sensitive or the less sensitive urinalysis. (All the cannabis smokers tested positive for THC afterward.)
Nonsmokers exposed to secondhand smoke with fans running reported no effects other than being hungry. Those who were exposed in the unventilated experiment reported feeling "pleasant," more tired and less alert. When the nonsmokers were asked to duplicate grid patterns they saw on a computer monitor or perform a basic numbers drill, those in the unventilated study responded faster but made more mistakes than they did before they were exposed to the cannabis smoke, the researchers found.
"The behavioral and cognitive effects were minor and consistent with a mild cannabis effect," Herrmann says.
"This study is a significant update in our knowledge of cannabis smoke effect on nonsmokers and has implications in many arenas, including drugs and driving," says co-author Edward J. Cone, Ph.D., a Johns Hopkins adjunct professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences who performed the early passive inhalation studies in the 1980s.
The study's limitations included its small size and the lack of a placebo trial using cannabis that contained no THC. The study was supported by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), an agency in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that sets standards for federal workplace drug testing. Information about the effects of secondhand smoke on drug test results were being sought to support different ways of measuring drug use or drug exposure, Vandrey says. Funding came from SAMHSA and the National Center for Research Resources of the National Institutes of Health. The cannabis used in the experiment was provided by the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
Other authors included George E. Bigelow of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine; John M. Mitchell of the Research Triangle Institute; and Charles LoDico and Ron Flegel of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.
Rice students create app connecting heart pump to doc
By Mike Williams
Rice University seniors create smartphone app to connect heart patient, pump, doctor
A smartphone app created by students at Rice University may someday serve as the ultimate remote to help control the flow of blood through human hearts.
The Flowtastic team of Rice senior engineering students created a combined software-hardware interface that works with an Android app to monitor and even control a high-tech pump that resides in the aorta and regulates the flow of blood.
The circulatory assist pump called Aortix was invented by Houston-based Procyrion, which is seeking approval from the Food and Drug Administration to use it as a minimally invasive solution for heart-failure patients.
"It's for that in-between phase when medication might not be enough and you don't want to go and get a super-invasive surgery where they have to cut your chest open," said Rice bioengineering student Benjamin Lopez. "We don't want you to get to that very severe state and there's nothing really out there for you right now." As many as 2.6 million patients could benefit from such a device, according to the company.
The six-member Rice team also includes bioengineering students Alex Bisberg and Joshua Choi and electrical engineering students Tracy Fu, Navaneeth Ravindranath and Ernest Chan. Their advisers are Gary Woods, a professor in the practice of computer technology and electrical and computer engineering, and Eric Richardson, a lecturer in bioengineering. They are also working with Tanner Songkakul, a product development engineer at Procyrion who earned a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from Rice in 2014.
The students have been working at Rice's Oshman Engineering Design Kitchen with a Procyrion prototype, a stent attached to a tiny but powerful pump that can be inserted into the patient's aortic vessel to assure that blood keeps flowing at the proper rate to the heart. The Rice team's contribution gives doctors a way to monitor the device's performance and make adjustments when necessary, reducing the heart's workload and helping it heal.
"Our goal has been to make a holistic and integrated system that allows the patient to connect with the doctor and also connect with their device," Bisberg said. The Rice team built hardware that plugs into the Procyrion controller and also communicates wirelessly with the Android app. They expect the company will combine the hardware components into a single unit that the patient will carry.
Bisberg said patients will be asked to enter their weight into the app every day. That information will automatically go to the doctor's database. "Weight is a key factor in managing heart failure," he said. "When the heart isn't working well, the patient's body tends to retain fluid.
"We want to be able to get a higher fluid-clearance rate from their bodies by accelerating blood flow to the kidneys and getting the liquid out of their systems."
If a patient gains too much weight too quickly, the app would notify the doctor, according to team members. They expect the doctor will be able to adjust the pump as necessary either remotely or by plugging directly into the external electronics.
"A change in weight would trigger an email to tell the doctor what's going on," Chan said. "That way the doctor only has to look at that data when needed."
"We spoke to a lot of cardiologists at the Texas Heart Institute and a lot of them said this technology's great, but it would be really nice if they could only be notified when there's really a need for them to go in and check," Choi said.
The system should be a great help to people who can still lead an active lifestyle, he said. "They're not sedentary," Chan said. "They can go out and live their lives and we can hold back the progression of the disease and prevent bad things from happening."
While the team members will leave their project behind when they graduate in May, they said what they've invented may be adapted to work with hardware that monitors glucose levels or pacemakers.
WHO calls for urgent fight against antibiotic resistance
By Nina Larson
Geneva (AFP), April 29 – The world is doing far too little to combat the misuse of antibiotics which is fuelling drug resistance and allowing long-treatable diseases to become killers, the World Health Organization said Wednesday. In its first ever analysis of how countries are responding to the problem of antimicrobial resistance — when bugs become immune to existing drugs — the UN health agency revealed "major gaps" in all six regions of the world.
"This is the single greatest challenge in infectious diseases today," Keiji Fukuda, WHO's assistant director general for health security, said in a statement. "All types of microbes, including many viruses and parasites, are becoming resistant to medicines," he warned, voicing particular concern over "bacteria that are progressively less treatable by available antibiotics."
"This is happening in all parts of the world, so all countries must do their part to tackle this global threat," he said.
A year ago, WHO issued a hard-hitting study on the phenomenon, cautioning that without significant action the world would be headed for "a post-antibiotic era". In such an era, "common infections and minor injuries that have been treatable for decades, may once again kill", Charles Penn, WHO coordinator on antimicrobial resistance, told reporters.
"We will lose the ability to treat a range of serious conditions such as blood stream infections, pneumonia, tuberculosis, malaria and HIV, and the benefits of advanced medical treatment, such as cancer chemotherapy and major surgery will also become much riskier and may well be lost," he warned.
The UN agency has since conducted a survey of 133 countries asking governments to assess their response to resistance to antimicrobial medicines. Sixty WHO member states did not take part in the survey, including the United States and China.
– Situation 'alarming' –
Wednesday's report — which breaks down the data on a regional basis and does not provide country-specific information — shows the global response is dangerously lacking. Only a quarter of countries that answered the survey had comprehensive national plans in place to fight resistance to antibiotics and other antimicrobial medicines, which is far too few, according to Penn.
One major concern is that sales of such drugs without prescription remain widespread around the world. Counterfeit and low-quality drugs have also been reported in many regions, causing headaches since such medicines often do not contain the right amount of the active ingredient, "resulting in sub-optimal dosing", the report said.
This was of particular concern in the African region, where it was a "general problem", the report found, with only only eight of the 47 WHO member states in Africa responding to the survey. Many countries also lack standard treatment guidelines, raising the possibility of overuse of the drugs, it warned.
Monitoring of the use of such drugs was also "infrequent" in most regions, although European countries had made progress in this area, WHO said. The lack of oversight is especially worrying since public awareness about the dangers of misusing antibiotics remains low in all regions. It also added that many people still believe antibiotics can be used to fight viral infections, which is not true.
Even in Europe, where public information campaigns are common, half the population believes viruses can be fought with antibiotics, it found. WHO has drafted a Global Action Plan for addressing antimicrobial resistance and plans to ask all member states to approve it at its annual meeting in Geneva next month. By doing so, countries will agree to draw up their own national plans within two years.
"The world needs to do much more," Penn said.

The vuvuzela is a topic of great discussion and controversy, you either love it or hate it, but how can it aid to the design world? With it's shape and colours it gives room for endless design possibilities. Here is a way of making a bedside lamp that is cost effective, quick and very easy to make at home:
What you will need:
Lighting fixtures
Lamp shade of choice
Light bulb
Electrical Cable
Light switch
I decided to spray my vuvuzela white, but you can keep its original colour or spray it any colour of the rainbow. Making patterns is also an option.
Drill a small hole close to the end of the larger side of the vuvuzela, this will be used to pull the cable through.
Connect the electrical cable to the light fixture and feed the cable through the narrow end of the vuvuzela and then through the hole that you have drilled.
Connect the light switch and plug point to the cable.
Fix the light fixture to the vuvu by gluing it to the smaller end of the vuvu,
Then add your lamp shade and light bulb and presto...
It can be used as a bedside lamp, task light or table lamp for any occasion.

Relieving Congestion to be Focus of Expanded L.A./Long Beach Port Discussions
The Federal Maritime Commission approved Feb. 26 an amendment to a cooperative agreement between the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach that should help address congestion at the country's largest port complex.
The Los Angeles and Long Beach Port Infrastructure and Environmental Programs Cooperative Working Agreement, in operation since March 2013, allows the two ports to discuss and agree on projects and programs that address transportation infrastructure needs and reduce pollution caused by port-related activities. The FMC states that the amendment, which became effective Feb. 27, clarifies the purpose of the agreement to more accurately reflect the current goals of the ports and to allow for the discussion of projects and programs with multiple stakeholders in and around the port complex. FMC Chairman Mario Cordero explained that the amended agreement "clarifies and expands the ports' authorities in order to meet the changing dynamics of the industry and the impacts of those dynamics on the ports' gateways; enables the two ports to jointly address concerns regarding supply chain issues, operational efficiencies and marine terminal velocities; highlights the ports' long-term environmental commitments while pursuing future endeavors; renews their commitment to enhance truck drayage and other transport processes and strengthens the ports' continuing commitments to safety, security and infrastructure development."
According to the FMC, addressing port congestion is expected to a particular focus of the discussions permitted under the amended agreement. Possible initiatives in this area could include increasing terminal productivity, facilitating chassis availability and usage, and improving drayage truck turn times.

Last Tuesday I was supposed to have my first lecture of my 2nd year at uni, but for some reason the lecturer didn't show up. Of course everyone was a bit annoyed about travelling into central London expecting to learn about the Romans, with no email or notification about that lecture not happening. Anyway, some of my flatmates are new to London so I decided to text them and ask if they wanted to go to the British Museum (I study Classics), and they were keen. Of course we also had to visit Hamleys, The Disney Store and Forbidden Planet, and I couldn't resist getting a few things…
I've been searching for a deck of playing cards for a while, because no one in our flat has any and they're essential for drinking games. These Star Wars Episodes 1-3 cards were only £5 in Hamleys – perfect!
Continuing with the Star Wars theme, I wanted to get everything in the Disney Store's new collection, but settled on a few cute Chewbacca items. I looked like a bit of an idiot trying on a boys age 13 Chewbacca hoodie, but it's adorable and thankfully it fit me! The cashier asked me who I was buying it for and I was like "umm… me?!"
I also got the Chewbacca backpack, which is ideal for carrying my uni books, and it even has a removable fluffy hood! This was only £15, also from the kid's section.
My flatmate told me about Forbidden Planet, which is literally the ultimate nerd / fandom shop, and walking distance from the British Museum. We decided to head down and I can't believe I'd never heard of this shop before! I was fangirling over so many things, but limited myself to a few Adventure Time goodies. I stupidly didn't bring a tea towel to uni, so I immediately grabbed a 'Makin' Bacon Pancakes' one (bacon pancakes are my favourite food other than pizza!). I also got some really cute iron-on patches for my denim jacket, which is covered in patches of my favourite things.
Finally, I realised that I still had money on an H&M gift card that my mum got me for my birthday last year, so I picked up an adorable unicorn jumper. H&M always has the cutest designs, and this was only £12.99.

General troubleshooting
Follow these steps to solve your issue as fast as possible.
My Mautic is acting weird
Even through the effort of the dev and test teams, it might happen. At first, let's try a few tricks which might fix it fast.
1. Clear the cache
There are several ways to do that. The easiest is to go to the
/app/cache folder and delete its content. If you want to do it via CLI command, navigate to the Mautic root folder and run
rm -rf app/cache/*. The new cache files will generate itself after the next Mautic refresh in the browser.
It might happen that the files won't generate itself. It can be caused by the wrong folder permission and Mautic doesn't have permission to write the new cache files. Contact your sysadmin and ask them to fix it for you.
Tip: Don't execute Mautic commands as the root user yourself and do not run Mautic commands in the root crontab. This way all the files which will be created by the command will have the root as the author and Mautic won't be able to rewrite those files.
2. Try to fix the database schema
Go to
http://[your-mautic-url]/s/update/schema. It will update your database schema if there are some known updates to be applied.
Nope, it didn't help
Alright. Let's figure out what the issue really is.
Check the logs
Mautic logs
Please do not report the following two errors:
The site is currently offline due to encountering an error. If the problem persists, please contact the system administrator
Uh oh! I think I broke it.
Those are generic error messages which provide absolutely no valuable information about the cause of the error. It is on purpose. The detailed error message isn't displayed in the production environment because if it did, it could tell possible crackers some valuable information about your server, Mautic or integration which they could use to attack it. That's why this generic error message is shown instead and the real error message is logged into the logs. Long story short, that's why reporting it doesn't make any sense.
There are different logs in your system which could tell us more. Let's start from the Mautic log.
If your Mautic administration works, go to the Admin menu (click the cog icon in the top right side corner), then System Info, then Log. You will see the error messages recorded by Mautic today.
If your Mautic administration doesn't work, open the logs in via the file system. Go to
[mautic_root]/app/logs folder. You should see one file for every day called
mautic_prod-YYYY-mm-dd.php. Open the latest one.
Server logs
I don't have experience with all operating systems and servers. I can tell you that Apache2 saves the server logs at Ubuntu in
/var/log/apache2/error.log. If you don't know where the server logs are stored, contact your sysadmin or try to google it.
MySql logs
If your Mautic says it is not able to connect to MySql for some reason, you can check what information is stored in the MySql log. Again, I can only advise where the log is in Ubuntu:
/var/log/mysql/error.log. But to be honest, the database connection error is in 90% of cases caused by wrong credentials.
The log file is too big
If the log is so big that a normal editor cannot open it and you have the CLI access, try to read only the few last rows of it with command
tail [mautic_root]/app/logs/mautic_prod-YYYY-mm-dd.php. You have to add the current date instead of the
YYYY-mm-dd part. If you want to see more rows than the default is, use the
-n 40 attribute at the end of the command to see the last 40 rows.
But I don't understand the error message
Take a deep breath and try to read the error messages. Some error messages actually have the solution written in them. Look at this one:
Fatal: Automatically populating $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. To avoid this warning set 'always_populate_raw_post_data' to '-1' in php.ini and use the php://input stream instead. - in file Unknown - at line 0 [] []
You see the advice in it?
To avoid this warning set 'always_populate_raw_post_data' to '-1' in php.ini
But you still don't know what it means? Simplest thing in this case is to contact your sysadmin and tell them just that.
Let's look at some examples
PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 10924085 bytes) in ...
Fatal: Maximum execution time of 120 seconds exceeded - in file ...
Solution: This means Mautic needs more memory / time than your server limit is. Again, contact your sysadmin and consult your possibilities.
Fatal: Class 'ZipArchive' not found
Solution: It can be ZipArchive, MCrypt or any other PHP module missing. Again, consult you know who to install it.
PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in
Solution: This usually means your PHP is outdated. Check what Mautic requirements are.
exception 'RuntimeException' with message 'Unable to create the cache directory ...
Solution: It means that the file permissions aren't right and Mautic cannot write the cache files.
mautic.WARNING: IP LOOKUP: The file "../app/cache/prod/../ip_data/GeoLite2-City.mmdb
Solution: It means that you just didn't download the IP lookup library. Go to Mautic's Configuration, scroll to the bottom and click the button to download it.
Uncaught PHP Exception Doctrine\DBAL\DBALException: "An exception occurred while executing 'INSERT INTO
Solution: This is a SQL error. It might either mean that your database schema is outdated or there is a bug in some part of Mautic. In the first case, the step 2 from this article should fix it. In the second case, look at the error reporting below.
PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function isRendered() on a non-object in ...
Solution: Usually means a bug.
How and where to report a bug
Help your fellow developers and report the bug correctly the first time. Go to GitHub issue tracker and answer at least the following 3 questions:
Mautic version: PHP version: Steps to reproduce the error:
And paste in the error message(s) obviously.

During final arguments in 2G spectrum allocation case, special public prosecutor Anand Grover said these firms were ineligible and had made false representations before the DoT to get the radiowaves.
"The Unitech Group firms had knowingly and fraudulently misrepresented facts in their application forms," he told Special CBI Judge O P Saini.
Grover argued that these firms had realty in their object clause and had not amended it before applying for the telecom spectrum licences. He alleged that some crucial facts were concealed from DoT by them so that their applications are not rejected.
According to the CBI, Unitech Ltd Managing Director Sanjay Chandra, an accused in the case, had allegedly conspired with others to get the 2G licences.
The agency had earlier alleged that eight Unitech Group firms were used to apply for 2G licences and after it was granted the radiowaves, they had subsquently merged into the accused firm, Unitech Wireless (Tamil Nadu) Pvt Ltd.
Chandra and Unitech Wireless (Tamil Nadu) Pvt Ltd have denied the allegations levelled against them by CBI.
The final arguments today remained inconclusive and would continue tomorrow.
Grover had yesterday claimed in the court that former Telecom Minister A Raja had told DoT that accused firm Swan Telecom Pvt Ltd (STPL) was eligible for grant of 2G spectrum, even though its officials had initially expressed apprehension about its eligibility.

Abu Mina Location Egyptian archaeological, since 1979 a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Until the 13th century. It housed the body of s. Mena and until the Arab conquest was a place of pilgrimage because of its water considered miraculous. The martyr complex, surrounded by walls, dates back main stages in the age of Justinian. Outside the walls there are small residential buildings and a church probably used for worship monophysite. Here was martyred San Menna of Egypt, in the third or fourth century. Reports dating from the fifth century show different versions of his burial and the subsequent founding of a church dedicated to him.
The essential and common to almost all the chronicles that the body was transported to Alexandria by camel, until he came near Lake Mareotis. At one point, the camel refused to continue, despite all efforts. This was perceived as a sign of the divine will and the body was then buried in that spot. During the reign of Arcadius, the archbishop of the region noticed that the crowd was getting too large for the small church: he wrote a letter to the Emperor and the latter ordered an expansion of the building, the first of three that would haveIt occurred over time. At the end of the period of late antiquity, Abu Mena had become the main center of pilgrimage Egypt. The first archaeological excavations were conducted between 1905 and 1907, bringing to light a large basilica, an adjacent church and a Roman bath.
A subsequent excavation work was carried out by a German group until 1998, leading to the discovery of a dormitory for the poor with two separate sections for men and for women and children. To the south of the great basilica you are located in a complex which probably lived the hegumen. The big Xenodocheion, an area reserved for receiving pilgrims, probably originally a cemetery. Near the church is a baptistry, which shows signs of more remakes through the centuries. It was also discovered a complex of presses for the production of wine, along with underground warehouses back to the sixth or the seventh century.

Report: Mercedes-Benz Planning Midlevel AMG Models
According to Automotive News, the launch of the Mercedes-Benz C450 AMG at the Detroit Auto Show in January will be the first step in a plan to bridge Mercedes-Benz models and the high-performance/high-price AMG vehicles. By offering midlevel AMG models, Mercedes will be able to appeal to a wider market and improve sales with those who want a bit more performance without the heftier price tag of the AMG.
The C450 will slot between the Mercedes-Benz C400 and C63 AMG, setting the tempo for future gap-fillers in the CLA-Class, E-Class, and GLK-Class lines. These models will not offer quite the same level of performance as the AMG models (the C450 is no slouch with a twin-turbo V6), but they will feature distinguishing visual cues to set them apart from the standard Mercedes-Benz models. It's anticipated that this modifications will be limited to trim, cladding, and wheels.
Auto News likens the move to Cadillac's V-Sport line and BMW's M Performance series. This should enable Mercedes to grab a good chunk of their competitors' lunch, as those lines offer performance hounds more budget savvy rides that still offer a lot of punch.
Expect more details on midlevel AMG models to emerge around NAIAS.

Stock Market Crash in 2013 Predicted With a DJIA of 3,000
Economist Harry Dent sees a cataclysmic drop in stock prices that's going to erase more than 70 percent of the market's value by 2013, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunging to 3,000 points.
"I think the stock crash started in late April 2011 is just the first wave down," Dent, who heads his own economic research firm HS Dent, tells CNBC. The Dow has dropped about 10 percent from its April 29, 2011 high as of September 16, 2011.
"On the Dow Jones — I think the stock market crash starts in 2012," says Dent, author of the upcoming book "The Great Crash Ahead."
He sees the bear market downturn that lasted from October 2007 to March 2009 and took 8,000 points off the Dow as a guide to what's going to happen this time around. Global consumption is headed down, Dent says.
"Baby boomers around the world, and all the developed countries — Europe, North America, Australia — they have peaked in their spending cycles. They've been driving up real estate prices and stock prices and the economy for decades, and now they're going to be saving and not borrowing," Dent says.
Not everyone agrees with Dent that stocks are in trouble.
Vanguard Group mutual fund founder John Bogle sees annual returns of 7 percent for equities in coming years. "Your money will double in 10 years," he tells The Wall Street Journal.
"How bad is that? People ought to get over the illusion of higher expectations."

I need the secret to stolen hours please. How do I get to make time?
Christmas is always a busy time of year but I have never known it to be this crazy. We are coming towards the end of the first week of December and I am already behind. This is party because I have had two fabulous 'grown up' weekends away which have been blissful, and also have another fabulous weekend coming up with the Tots 100 Christmas party at Butlins, of which I am like an excited school girl, eager to meet her new friends!
It has however put me behind. Majorly behind! I am writing this at half past ten at night. I am shattered and should be sleeping. Today I have looked after three children (obviously), cleaned the house, wrapped some presents, completed a huge pile of ironing and 2 loads of laundry, written two blog posts, gone on a play date with the kids and cooked a dinner and finally put them all to bed by 7.30pm! Then the evening consisted of more writing and some time with my gorgeous hubby who really should not be neglected.
I still need to get Christmas cards bought, let alone written, still have more presents to buy, still have presents to wrap, decorations to put up, a husbands birthday to organise, and 15 guests to prepare for christmas Day! All this and continue to manage three toddlers and run a household.
I really am not sure how I am going to squeeze this in, plus I have deadlines for commitments I have made this month with writing plus coming up with experiment for Science Sparks which I just love doing plus tutoring in the evenings. I need some stolen hours and I need them now! Where is Alice and her white rabbit when you need them?
….Or some Father Christmas time management would be good. He can make it round the world in one night, surely he could loan me some time dust too. Because 3 children under 3 and half are not conducive to shopping, wrapping, and cleaning. They are superb at messing up, destroying, making chaos and unwrapping and so the vicious cycle repeats itself.
So tell me please…what is the secret? How do you fit it all in? Are you all brilliantly organised or in mayhem like me..tell me your coping strategies, as I could d with some hints and tips! x

We all wear our shoes everyday to everywhere we go. They act like our buddy protecting our feet from harm and making sure we can get to where we are going safely. That being said, most people still overlook the importance of a good pair of shoes in our daily life. Sure you can find a pair of shoe anywhere and some are too cheap to even pass on. However, aside from its price, you also need to consider the quality of the shoes that you are going to buy. You need to remember that you will use it for years and it should withstand any kind of weather or situation.
I know I learned this the hard way when I used to buy cheap pairs of shoes. One day, I was late for work and I had to walk because the traffic was too heavy. While walking, it started drizzling and some streets had formed little puddles. I accidentally stepped on a puddle and the soles of my shoes just got separated from its body. It was such a horrible experience because I had no shoes and I was running late for work.
In the end, I had to go to the local department store to buy a new pair of shoes which cost more than I bargained for. Because of this experience, I never buy shoes that are not best for me and are not durable. No person deserves to go through the hassle of what I had to go through that day, so here are some shoes that might fit you perfectly.
Asics Gel-DS Trainer
This is one of the most favorite lightweight training shoes that give you stability. It has been praised as having the gold standard in the performance trainer category by many sports magazines. Each model in this line keeps getting lighter with the recent one just 7 ounces in weight. Asics made the upper seamless to prevent your feet from blistering a well. It's also equipped with Wet Grip outsoles for those pesky rainy days. The Asics Gel-Noosa Tri 8 is a good shoe for people with plantar fasciitis.
New Balance 890
This shoe is extremely light but gives you a nice cushion on your feet. You will notice an increased speed on your long walks because you will feel happy walking with these shoe on. Each version of this line change it shapes so make sure you know which one you really mean to get. This line has been awarded the best updated shoes by sports magazine. New Balance Leadville 1210 is a good shoe for people with high arches.
Brooks Ghost
The lightness and comfort of these shoes is very impressive. It already garnered many Editors' choice of different magazines and was proclaimed as one of the best overall shoes around today. The best version so far is the Ghost 6 because it is specifically designed for heel strikers. It also has a waterproof version with Gore-tex for the rainy seasons. There are claims that you can wear this shoe for a good hike and they will still hold up because of its top quality deign and material.

Singles: Flirt Up Your Life is a video game developed by Rotobee and published by German company Deep Silver in 2004.
It is very similar to The Sims in that the player is responsible for characters who have to be taken care of, such as by ordering them to eat, sleep, go to work, etc.
The game is available for sale via download from the company's website, with payment required to continue playing after the one-hour time limit was up. In Australia, it was banned by the OFLC as it had exceeded the highest allowable rating for video games, which was MA15+. It has been debated as to whether or not an R18+ rating (which currently applies only to films and DVDs) should be introduced for video games.
The CD-ROM version sold in the USA censors any nudity throughout the game.
Comparison to earlier gamesEdit
Singles was largely panned by critics for being a rip-off of The Sims and the way it offered little challenge, with the player required to simply follow a routine of making the characters progress from making small talk through to professing love then running off to bed together via the simple interaction menus. The 'needs' are also considered fairly inconsequential, with the characters never starving to death even when their 'hunger' need has dropped to zero.
A sequel, titled Singles 2: Triple Trouble, was released in June 2005 and featured three housemates instead of two.
Singles: Flirt Up Your Life -- Extended Version is a Mature rated version of Flirt up your life.

HealthDay News — A machine-learning platform that uses the entire shape of cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) waveforms acquired via transcranial Doppler (TCD) imaging is more accurate for diagnosing concussion, according to a study presented at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Neurology.
Robert Hamilton, PhD, from Neural Analytics in Los Angeles, and colleagues examined the accuracy of a platform that uses the entire shape of the CBFV waveform in a study involving 2 groups: a post-injury group of 66 high school contact sports athletes and an age-matched control group (169 high school athletes). Measurements were taken within 12 days of injury; conventional TCD ultrasound measures were compared to morphological analysis performed by the machine-learning platform.
TRENDING ON CPA: Interventional Pain Management: 5 Things Primary Care Providers Should Know
The researchers found that concussed and healthy groups could be differentiated with an area under the receiver operating curve (AUC) of 83% (71 and 83 percent sensitivity and specificity, respectively). Lower AUCs were seen for mean velocity, pulsatility index, and cerebrovascular reactivity (55, 53, and 60%, respectively).
"This research suggests that this advanced form of ultrasound may provide a more accurate diagnosis of concussion," Hamilton said in a statement. "While more research is needed, the hope is such a tool could one day be used on the sidelines to help determine more quickly whether an athlete needs further testing."

technically yesterday, the 24th, was really nice. i did lots of things. first it was my mom's 50th birthday which of course is tres important. she made me get up and drive in the morning, which was good i guess. not any really big stuff, but i did cross a big street (ooooh *gasps* all around i know). then i came home and we walked the doggies and then i watched "dawson's creek." then we went to the farmer's market and this bakery but didn't buy anything. then we came home and ate lunch. then i went to my appointment with beth which was really good. i felt good about it, i am so glad that i have her to talk to about things. then mom and i went and got me a mint mocha chip frappachino at starbucks and then i got my haircut at salon red. oooo it looks good! i aime it a whole lot. yayeee. then went to publix to order her cake, get a sandwich, and get nail polish remover. allie's nail polish is difficult to remove. came home and crashed and admittedly watched silly television stuffs til i showered and got ready to go to A PRAIRIE HOME COMPANION at chastain!!!!!!!! it was sooooooooo fun. cheryl and wes came with us which was great, they are so enjoyable and funny. they picked us up and we ate there at a table and we had really good, close seats. garrison (GARRISON KEILLOR!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHH!) came out and led us in "my country tis of thee" and "the star spangled banner" before we went on the air. i started crying a bit when we sang the national anthem because i am so proud to be a part of this country. it always makes me emotional. i think it's cool that garrison is a diehard liberal who hates the bush administration and yet is still a diehard patriotic person. anyway, the show was AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME DOUBLE AWESOME!!! he sang the "saturday song" ("I'll hear that old piano from down the avenue.... I smell the rosebuds, I look around for you.....) even though it was Friday. great stories, great musicians, company, food, and GARRISON!!!! ahhhhhhhh. sooooooo cool. coleman and chris a. came over and sat with us for a bit. i can't wait to hear it broadcast tomorrow night! i am so glad we could do this for mom and her birthday. :) and tomorrow is her party!
in the car my dad offhandedly mentioned that my grandfather would be glad if i stayed close to home for college because he would miss me a lot, and that really got me thinking, and not feeling quite... guilty, but just sad. i wish kenyon weren't so far away. it pisses me off that it is. and sometimes it makes me think maybe i should just stay around here for family reasons if nothing else. i just don't know what to do sometimes. sometimes i am super-enthusiastic about possibly going away and getting a great education, and others (like when i think of leaving my grandparents and family) i just don't ever want a year and a month or so from now to come. i just ask god to guide me and help me know the best situation for me. and for now just let me be happy and spend time with those i love and speak my mind.
grrr i wish sheridan's goodbye party wasn't tomorrow night as well as mom's party!!!! mom said i could go for some of it if i could get rides and stuff but soooo many people will be at mom's that i hardly ever see, like logan and LA and dan and gabe and bekah and lily kate etc.... i wish robby and megan would stay the whole time for ours but i'm sure they'll go to sheridan's too, which they rightly should... i am just really excited about my family meeting the robbmeister. i hope they all get there on time.
ok i should go to bed now................. now it actually IS saturday, the band is playing, honey could you ask for more?

I have such mixed feelings about this paper doll and I have such mixed feelings about starting a post with the words "I have such mixed feelings…" I usually try to not talk about what I dislike, but I must confess I don't think the face of the paper doll Vera was very successful. I love her black and gray kimono-esque costume with the pink flowers though, I think that one came out beautifully.
So, I guess maybe you win some and you lose some when it comes to paper dolls.
{Click Here for a PDF to Print} {Click Here for a 150 dpi PNG to Print} {Click Here for The Rest of this Series}
One of the unique features of paper doll blogging vs. standard paper doll drawing is that I find I hate going to the trouble of inking something only to decide I don't like it. Don't mis-understand me, there's plenty of things in my sketchbooks that will never see the light of day, but I often feel that the goal of posting on time and regularly is more important then the goal of always being in love with what I post.
While my natural inclination is not to post anything I don't like, the actual practical consideration is that if I never posted anything I wasn't totally satisfied with then I would likely only update once a month at most. As it is, I'm learning to be okay with posting paper dolls even when I have mixed feelings about them.
Especially when I really adore their strange futuristic kimono costumes.

Should You Buy a Keurig or Keurig 2.0 Brewer? Here's What You Need To Know
We've recently reviewed the new Keurig 2.0 single serve brewers, talked about their features and how each model compares to the other. Now the big question is, should you buy the Keurig 2.0 system just because it's the newer version or should you stick to the old Keurig system?
What Is The Difference Between Keurig and Keurig 2.0?
To help you with your answer, let's list the differences between the old and new version of Keurig:
- Both are single-serve coffee makers that use K-Cup coffee pods available many different coffee brands.
- Both can brew different cup sizes, but the Keurig 2.0 is also available to brew a full 4-cup carafe, which is a new feature.
- The Keurig 2.0 has a more advanced brewing method that automatically adjusts the machine's settings to match the coffee pod.
- The Keurig 2.0 also has a touch screen control, colored or black/white depending on the model, that is easier to use. This is available on the Keurig Vue system, and a few other commercial Keurig brewers.
But here's what the Keurig 2.0 DOES NOT have:
You cannot use re-fillable K-Cups like you could with the older Keurig system. (looks like it is now possible! Scroll to the middle of this page to find out)
- Also, not all K-Cups are compatible with the new Keurig 2.0 system.
You can learn more about this issue in this post: https://coffeegearathome.com/keurig-2-0-review-k350-vs-k450-vs-k550-comparison-and-the-difference-between-keurig-2-0-and-vue/
Who Should Buy the Keurig 2.0:
If you're new to the world of Keurig, I can say you're pretty safe to buy the new Keurig 2.0 system. Since you don't have any existing K-Cups laying around, you won't be as mad about not being able to use them anymore as existing Keurig users. If you're looking to upgrade the current Keurig system you have, have a big stash of K-Cups that you still want to use, then you're better off upgrading to one of the older system Keurig machines, which should allow you to use your current K-Cups without any issues.
Is There a Way to Use any K-Cup with the New Keurig 2.0?
Apparently, some people have figured out a solution to use any K-Cup with the new 2.0 Keurigs. Have a look at this video:
To be honest, I do not recommend you follow this method even if it works 100% and here's why: The idea of a Keurig machine, or any single-serve coffee machine for that matter, is convenience. You want to pop in a pod, hit a button and get your coffee. With this hack, you'll be spending a few minutes doing a little crafts project to get the old K-Cup to work with the new machine, which will get tiring over time. If you insist on using the older K-cups, then simply do not upgrade to the Keurig 2.0. You can still get a great Keurig machine from the previous line that you can use with all ease and convenience to get the truly convenience push-button experience. Also, you can buy a refillable K-Cup for your Keurig 2.0, which is finally available from Keurig as well as other brands.
Here are some previous Keurig models you can consider:

When thinking about the future, the science (art? mathematics? guesswork?) of population projections can tell us a lot. How many people are likely to live in a particular place? What kind of housing will they occupy? What jobs will they work in? Will they have kids…and what schools are planned?
All these questions (and the associated answers) can help us think about how we join with God in mission in a particular locality.
And there's a whole bunch of places where we can start looking for the data. Click through for a few options to pursue when it comes to tracking down population projections for your community. Continue reading

Timberline Lodge in Oregon
This post has been in draft format for over a year, and I completely forgot to publish it. However, I definitely recommend Timberline Lodge at Mt. Hood if you are planning a trip to Oregon. Here are some pictures from our overnight there.
A Northwest Artisan Cheese Plate at the Rams Head Bar.
We couldn't help but order the famous Timber Toast in the Cascade Dining Room. This decadent dish, which could very easily be shared, is basically deep fried french toast served with hazelnut praline butter and maple syrup. It's $15.95 including the continental breakfast.

Keystone vote fails in Senate; Colorado vote split
WASHINGTON — A bill that would have forced approval of the Keystone XL pipeline failed Tuesday night to pass the U.S. Senate. It fell one vote shy of reaching the 60-vote threshold needed to overcome a filibuster.
The 59-41 tally included a split decision from Colorado's two Democratic senators. As expected, Mark Udall voted against the bill and Michael Bennet voted for it. The fight over the pipeline has stalked both lawmakers in recent months.
In Udall's case, Republicans repeatedly accused him of avoiding the issue during his losing re-election bid against Cory Gardner. Udall previously said he wanted outstanding reviews of the U.S.-Canada oil pipeline to finish before Congress took action.
Bennet, meanwhile, has taken heat from the left. His Washington office reportedly was the scene of peaceful protests today in opposition to the bill and his support of it.
Said Bennet spokesman Adam Bozzi in a statement after tonight's vote: "We continue to hear intense advocacy from Coloradans on this issue."
And while Bennet supports the pipeline, Bozzi added that the senator "would prefer that instead of focusing our political debate on a narrow issue … we develop a broad and comprehensive energy strategy to reduce carbon pollution and support renewable energy."

going to a Christmas party at someone's house.
for the basics of how to do this well, read this article on attending a potluck. this will give you your foundation of info, and allow us to focus on some holiday specific stuff - such as how to be merry & gluten free. basically, you're going to assume that you won't be able to eat anything at the event. if you know the host well, you can find out what he/she is serving and ask some questions to find out if there will be anything there that is safe for you. but with all the Christmas baking going on these days, i would suggest steering clear of anything at the party on the assumption that contamination is imminent. remember: flour can remain in the air for up to 6 hours, so anything made in the kitchen post-baking is risky business. also, keep in mind that anyone who isn't strictly gluten free don't know what they don't know - read: its unrealistic to expect that they will think of everything, and despite a solid effort, chances are high that there has been contamination somewhere along the way. so we're going to assume that there won't be anything there that is safe for you - which means that whatever you bring to the table, pun intended, will be your feast for the night. so bring something delicious! check out the recipes and ideas below. *if you've been invited over for a meal at someone's house, and it's not a party with multiple guests and lots of different food, that's a different story. in this case, read this article on how to safely eat at a friend's house!
going out to eat with family, friends or coworkers.
a restaurant experience is going to require the same effort from you regardless of whether it's for a Christmas celebration or not. hear me clearly - it will require some effort for you, and the preparation you do is going to serve you well in this case. see this page for exactly how to go out to eat, including calling ahead, doing your research, and working with your server. if the event is being catered, you will find many similarities and helpful tips on this page. and hang tight until thursday's blog on what to order from the bar!
hosting a holiday soiree.
this is so much fun, because not only do i LOVE hosting people at my house - i equally enjoy showing people first-hand how delicious gluten free food can be! so take the challenge, and keep in mind that it can actually be quite simple. as for recipes, rest assured i'm about to hook you up with some great ones. i actually find it the easiest and best tasting to take regular, gluten-filled appetizer recipes and alter them to make them safe. there are lots of mainstream ingredients that you can find to make your favorite recipes just like you always have! that's the easy part.
it gets a little tricky when your guests want to bring something to contribute, as is generally status quo. i've tried saying "oh no, don't bring anything, just yourselves!" - i've tried saying that in all different ways, shapes and forms. but it never works, and inevitably they show up with a dish full of love and time-spent cooking... and full of gluten. so make a suggestion - cheese is my go-to. asking guests to bring their favorite, gluten-free cheese has worked marvelously for me. they may do the homework themselves, or you could give them some suggestions (which i will spoon feed to you below). make sure to tell them that you already have plenty of crackers so just the cheese is perfect! another suggestion could be a box of mandarin oranges - oh-so christmassy, and they will be devoured at any occasion. wine is another one.
of course this means that the brunt of the work will fall to you - all of the work, in fact. so make sure you take that into account when deciding whether or not to host your big party this year. but if you decide to go ahead and do it, i assure you that i'm here to help ya and you'll do a great job!
(the what-to-drink blog will make it's appearance on thursday, followed by what to bake, so by the weekend you'll be the hostess with the mostess!)
here is the piece de resistance: the recipes. click here to choose your feast!

The death of a parent marks an emotional and psychological watershed in a person's life. For children and teenagers, the loss of a parent if not handled sensitively can be a lasting trauma, and for adults too, a parent's death can be a tremendous blow.
When Parents Die speaks to bereaved children of all ages. Rebecca Abrams draws on her personal and professional understandings of parental loss, as well as the experiences of many other adults, teenagers and children, to provide the reader with an honest, compassionate and insightful exploration of the experience of losing a parent. The book covers the entire course of grieving, from the immediate aftermath of a parent's death through to the point of recovery, paying particular attention to the many circumstances that can prolong and complicate mourning, including sudden death.
An indispensible aid to the bereaved and the many professionals who work with them, this book is written in a clear and sympathetic style. It has been fully revised for this third edition to take recent research into account.
'The only way we will ever really understand what it means to grieve is when we learn from those who are bereaved and can share their experience with us. This book is a wonderful example of how Rebecca Abrams used her own experience with death and the grief that followed to help herself and others.' – Phyllis R. Silverman, Ph.D., Co-Principal Investigator, Harvard Child Bereavement Study, USA.
Foreword to the Third Edition Introduction 1. My Story 2. First Days, Last Rites 3. Different Deaths, Different Griefs 4. Mourning Time: The First Year 5. Mourning Time: The Second Year and After 6. Changes and Losses: The Private Kind 7. Changes and Losses: The Public Kind 8. Old Grief in New Guises 9. Pathways to the Future Suggested Reading Useful Organizations

Your chosen removal company will take care of the planning and logistics. This will require a clear understanding of your objectives and your employee's needs. You will usually be allocated a move manager and a tailor made move plan will be created.
Your Commercial Move Manager and the team will carry out at least one site visit. They will need to assess your requirements and any potential challenges or obstacles. The move will be planned to a finite detail considering every eventuality.
Moving office furniture such as large desks, printers and computers requires due care and attention. It is always advised not to ask your staff to do these things, hiring the professionals is best as they are fully insured and trained to the appropriate health and safety standards
The commercial removals team will create an inventory of items to be moved and a floor plan of the new office so the move will be swift and efficient.

Comprehensive, third party, fire and theft or third party only car insurance. Premium based on risk profile.
Unit Trusts are a flexible investment option with a wide range of products to choose from.
If you want to draw an income from your investment portfolio, Old Mutual's range of unit trusts offers you access to a selection of income-generating investments, each with their own unique investment aim. View our Investment Series, or our full range of over 40 unit trusts to build an income generating unit trust portfolio. Always remember that in order to draw a sustainable income you need to continue to grow your capital, which means that you need equity exposure too.
There are three types of unit trust-based income, and some unit trusts, such as Old Mutual Real Income Fund, offer a best-of-both-worlds solution by combining options.
Interest income: This is the result of investing in assets such as money markets and bonds. This income is taxed according to your applicable income tax rate (after your tax exemptions are exhausted). Unit trusts that pay interest income are generally lower risk and offer little to moderate growth, but good capital protection.
Dividend income: Dividends are the portion of a company's profits that are paid to shareholders, usually twice a year. Dividend income is currently tax free in your hands.
It is the equity portion of a unit trust that pays a dividend income, if the companies in which it has invested have opted to pay dividends.
Rental income: paid by unit trusts that invest in listed property, this is also taxed according to your income tax rate.
We offer the Old Mutual SA Quoted Property Fund for investors who are bullish on this sector. In addition many of our equity and asset allocation unit trusts also hold part of their portfolio in property.
If you are nearing retirement and are looking for an additional source of retirement income, you might like to invest a portion of your retirement saving in Old Mutual Living Annuity - a unit trust-linked living annuity. Find out more about this Living Annuity here.

- "You need to move, old man."
- ―Flass
Flass was a farmer on the planet Ceriun about 1000 BBY and the son of Morro, the headman of Drop Canyon village. He was an associate of Tenno, taking part in his plan to take possession of a holocron that a dying Jedi Knight had passed on to the village elders and turn it over to the Sith in exchange for passage offworld.
When Tenno lost his nerve after killing his father, Ka'arn, Flass took charge and ordered Morro to stand aside and hand over the holocron. When Morro defied him angrily, Flass killed his father with his axe, precipitating a brawl between Tenno's gang and the elders. The fight was interrupted by a Sith Lord who took the holocron for himself and contemptuously slew Flass with his lightsaber.

Wet Weekend Weather in Phuket
Just a few more days of this, surely... Today has been as wet as any day this week, and I saw minor flooding here and there (nothing serious, well more like large puddles really). The kind of day when you have plans for the beach, for driving up mountains, for a relaxing time by the pool maybe, but what do you get? Rain, rain and more rain. It has not stopped all day. So, naturally, we have been to Central Festival Mall, where we have eaten and done shopping and found some new shoes for my daughters rapidly growing feet.
Then we stopped home for a few minutes to drop off the shopping and found buffalo wandering around our village. There is a lot of green land around Kathu and a fair number of buffalo who we see from time to time here and there.
Our garden certainly looks very green. It starts to get out of control in this weather. We have orchids, palm trees, a coconut tree, papaya tree (a baby, no papayas yet), and much more! Things are very green at this time of year as the last of the rains fall.
As the sun starts to fall, the hills to the west are dark and grey. One gets the feeling that Sunday will see little in the way of sun.
Just flicking through the weather reports on the web - there was a landslide in Patong in the early hours of Friday morning - see report in the Phuket Gazette.
Meanwhile the Thai Meteorological Department issued this warning today : "A low pressure cell covers southern Thailand and the Gulf of Thailand. Abundant rain and heavy falls are likely in the area. People in the risky area of Prachuap Khiri Khan, Chumphon, Surat Thani, Phangnga, Phuket, Krabi, Trang and Satun provinces beware of flooding conditions. In addition, the moderate wind in the Andaman Sea and the Gulf with wave 2-3 meters. All ships should proceed with caution."

Ryan Phillippe wears a supernatural-looking mask in Franklyn, a British film coming out next year. He plays the only atheist in a city full of religious fanatics. Writer/director Gerald McMorrow spilled the beans yesterday about the film's weird set-up.
Philippe plays a detective named Jonathan Preest who lives in a dystopian alternate world called Meanwhile City, where religion is the main form of social control. The clever twist? The evil overlords don't care what religion you believe in, as long as they can use your beliefs to tame you.
The bad news is, the Meanwhile City segments are only a quarter of the movie. The other three quarters deal with characters in the "real" world, and the film cuts back and forth between their stories. All four narrative lines come together in the end, in some fashion that McMorrow can't reveal without spoiling the ending. It sounds very The Fountain, but the Meanwhile City stuff sounds very Brazil. Says McMorrow:
It's this place which is sort-of run by a shadowy, religious uber-power called The Ministry who has decided, over the centuries, that as long as they can get their population to believe in something - anything - they can control them. People have faiths and religions based on strange things like The Seventh Day Manicurists and Washing Machine Street Preachers. Their doctrines and dogmas are all based on things like washing machine instructions.
I like the idea that the Ministry can use religion to rule, without having to prescribe a particular faith. We're always being told that religious pluralism will save us from theocracy. But a diversity of beliefs doesn't negate their usefulness as a tool of control. The bizarro religious groups also sound very promising.
So really the only question is can McMorrow channel good Terry Gilliam, and avoid falling into Brothers Grimm-style campiness? Oh, and is device of intersecting storylines as annoying and contrived as it sounds, or can McMorrow make it work somehow?
