I'll try and have new content up by Tuesday at the latest.

Oh, ouch! That sounds horrible. Mouth pain is just the worst. I'm glad the infected teeth are out, and I hope you heal quickly and painlessly from now on.
i've got a new National Geographic with many animals i can sacrifice on your behalf [what? if ancient Greeks "tricked" Zeus into accepting just the bones and fat, i can convince Goddess to accept the pictures! lol]
seriously, dental pain SUCKS - oxycotin doesn't affect it in my case. GoodThought(tm) sent to you!
Mouth pain is the worth. People never believe this, but having my wisdom teeth out was worse than childbirth (no painkiller, induced childbirth, at that). Get well soon, Holly.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes. Can you imagine the pain of a root canal not properly anesthesized?
ReplyDeleteBlagh, dental pain is the shits. I'm phobic about it, so I am terrified for you and hope you have the speediest of recoveries.
ReplyDeleteTeeth extraction didn't stop the Bumble from putting the star on top of the Christmas tree, did it?
Healing is important. In the meantime, this made me think of your blog... http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=fZK75pXLlbY
ReplyDeleteThey pulled the teeth while they were still infected?! I didn't think they were supposed to do that. :( Hope it improves fast.
ReplyDeleteI mean, what would they do? Wait until they get MORE infected? Or the infection to potentially spread to other parts? Yikes, no - PULL THEM FUCKERS OUT, DENTIST!
And get better soon, Holly! I miss your insight.
They gave me antibiotics for a couple weeks before pulling the teeth.
Rebecca - Dentists generally won't pull a tooth with a real active infection, because that can spread the infection and because the Novocaine won't work. Hence the antibiotics first.
Didn't know it would affect the anaesthetic - though there can be real complications if a bad infection spreads. That said, if it doesn't respond to antibiotics (or doesn't respond well/quickly enough) I guess they've got to make the call.
DeleteI was confused when I started reading the comic and then it finally clicked at the end. Where did you find that? I couldn't stop laughing. That sucks about your teeth though!
ReplyDeleteI had wondered where you got to, so thanks for letting us know.
Good vibes to you and your remaining teeth, no one here minds in the least when you post so long as your looking after yourself and getting better.
Rest up and relax as much as is possible with your teeth doing the evils on you.
i hope you get better soon! (first comment here). PS: I really need to do another archive binge of xkcd

Here is the gift I made for my MIL for Mother's Day using the paper rosettes. The three children shown are mine and the blank ones are for her other grandchildren. I let their mothers pick out the photos and didn't take a picture of the totally finished project. The fence box was created in Design Studio using the Wrap It Up cart. The Grandmother's Garden sign is from Pooh and Friends.

Our architecture is defined by the undogmatic examination of a project's particular topics, not by continuous application of identical formal arrangements independent from task and location. In doing so we are following an integrated work approach starting from the urban requirements, the constructional and cultural context as well as the function of each building typology. From beginning up to completion each single building task lies in the responsibility of one partner and his team. The design progress is accompanied by an intense dialogue between all participating parties to guarantee the achievement of the optimal result. Regular partner meetings where all projects are being discussed are the basis for the ongoing high quality standard of our work. We aspire to create architecture of lasting value beyond the here and now: timeless and yet clearly part of their time, innovative and equally grounded in history. With our local organization form and offices in the important economic areas of Germany we guarantee special regional knowledge, quick availability and direct communication with the local contact persons. The same service is given in our international subsidiaries. With this attitude we have managed to complete over a 1000 buildings worldwide in the last 70 years and we are pleased with each new building we will be able to realize in the future. The Düsseldorf-based partnership is now in its 4th generation since it was founded in 1933 by Professor Hentrich and today comprises 10 offices with approx. 260 employees in Germany and abroad. Among their most well-known projects are the "Dreischeibenhaus" in Düsseldorf, the renovation of the Central Railway Station in Leipzig and "Langer Eugen" in Bonn, the Concert Hall in Düsseldorf and the revitalisation of the Grand Hotel in Heiligendamm. HPP Architects head office is in the Düsseldorf Media Harbor, other offices are in Berlin, Cologne, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Leipzig, Stuttgart, Shanghai, Sofia and Washington.

Dillion Carter & Karlee Grey – Naughty Naturals
Released: June 24, 2015
We had the big natty special for you this week with Dillion Carter and Karlee Green. When we first saw the ladies, they were hanging out by the pool in tiny bikinis soaking in the sun. Dillion was wearing gold, and Karlee had on fiery red. It was fitting because these girls were smoking. Those tits were insane, and the ladies pulled them out to show off. We felt like we'd died and gone to titty heaven. About that time, Chris showed up. The ladies were already feeling horny, and they jumped all over him. Together they gave him a 2-girl blow job that was epic. Once he was sprung, Chris pounded those hot boxes deep and hard. Dillion and Karlee took turns on his cock while they ate each other out in this insane threesome. It was non-stop action until Chris painted those perfect tits pearly white.

People who live in and near Sunriver may be surprised to be on the list of possible U.S. Post Office closures. On the list of probable Post Office closures are small towns, almost ghost towns and non-incorporated areas. Places like Antelope, Oregon, population 59; Paulina, Post, Brothers, Fort Rock and Shaniko. And then there's one that sticks out: Sunriver, with a permanent population of 1700 people and at least double that many people during the peak tourism season. Brooke Snavely is with the Sunriver Owners Association: "I can't imagine Sunriver without it's own post office, quite honestly. I mean all these folks that live out here in Sunriver and the communities due south of us use the Sunriver Post Office." The U.S. Post Office says most of the post offices studied for closure have so little foot traffic that workers average less than two hours of work a day and average sales are less than $50 a day. The savings could be as much as $200 million a year, but also trim about 3,000 postmasters, 500 supervisors and 500 to 1,000 clerks. The closings are expected to begin within four to six months, most likely in January.

The original Super Mario 64 began with Mario arriving at Princess Peach's castle, only to find that the palatial home was empty thanks to another attack from Bowser, King of the Koopas. The DS version of the game opens similarly, except now Mario arrives alongside Luigi and Wario and the three of them vanish along with the other denizens of the castle. Enter Yoshi (who had been sleeping atop the castle in the original game) who is tapped to investigate the disappearances and save the day. By making Yoshi the default main character Nintendo has changed the structure of the original game; the dinosaur cannot grab enemies or destroy blocks, but he can snarf up enemies and items with his long tongue and either spit them out or make them into eggs suitable for shooting (as first seen in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island). This means that when Yoshi battles the leader of the Bob-ombs in the first level of the game, he cannot pick up the leader and toss him to the ground as Mario once did, nor can he lap up the leader with his tongue. Instead Yoshi must lick up the smaller Bob-ombs that roam the mountain and spit them back at the leader. Changes of this type are frequent in the game, making old goals that seasoned players could achieve in their sleep something new to figure out all over again.
But Yoshi can't do everything by himself. Early in the game Yoshi meets a Koopa Troopa who wants to race, but the catch is that he'll only race against Mario (who is currently missing in action). Later in the game Yoshi will have a chance to rescue the perennial plumber, but at that immediate moment the only way to meet the Troopa's challenge is for Yoshi to find Mario's classic red cap laying around somewhere in the vicinity. Once Yoshi puts it on he'll transform temporarily into Mario, taking on all the abilities and appearance of the famous hero. If Yoshi is struck by an enemy while wearing the cap it will fall off and he'll turn back into his dino-self, so extra caution must be observed while wearing one of these hats. Other goals in the game require the talents of Luigi or Wario, but fortunately their hats are scattered around as well.
And speaking of our other heroes (and anti-hero), before too long Yoshi comes across the magical paintings in which Mario, Luigi, and Wario are being held captive. These paintings contain three of the DS version's five new levels, complete with the classic "eight red coins challenge" and a boss battle. Defeat the boss to rescue the imprisoned character. Rescued characters can switch with Yoshi, allowing them to join the adventure. In order to keep things fair, Nintendo has taken all of Mario's abilities from the original Super Mario 64 and divided them up amongst the four playable characters. Mario is the only character who can perform the wall kick jump and utilize the wing cap for flight His only new ability is the power to inflate like a balloon (first seen in Super Mario World) and float into the air. Luigi can jump higher than the other characters and turn invisible. Wario packs immense strength for breaking heavy blocks, punching enemies into next Tuesday, and can become metallic, but moves slower than the other characters. Yoshi, as mentioned above, relies on his tongue and egg skills and can also breathe fire, but his ground pound skills are non-existant.
Nintendo has expanded the original game in other ways, too. Each course now contains an extra star objective to meet, something that usually involves collecting five silver stars from somewhere in the level to unlock the main gold star. Some of the easier objectives are gone altogether (the star on top of the floating island in the Bob-omb Battlefield is no more), whereas some of the harder objectives have become even more difficult (the boss battle in Shifting Sand Land in which Mario had to stand atop the four pillars to blow the roof off the pyramid has been extended; now after flying into the pyramid Mario must find the Wario cap in order to break the big block that's blocking the passage to the boss). The helpful owl from Whomp's Fortress and Klepto the Condor appear in other levels now as well. There are also two smaller mini-levels that contain a silver star challenge to find and complete. On the whole there are an additional thirty stars to find, bringing the grand total to 150 stars. The final battle with Bowser is unlockable after collecting only 80 stars, however. One of the elements that makes the new features stand out from the original game is that for years after the release of the original Super Mario 64 there have been a number of rumors circulating about supposedly hidden features that were in the game, such as Luigi being a playable character who was trapped in a painting and the existance of a 121st star. Now, in this new version of the game, Luigi is a playable character hidden in a painting and there is a 121st star (plus twenty-nine more). Part of the wonder of playing Super Mario 64 DS is actually seeing Luigi in action; it seems very odd to actually see him in the game after seeing many faked screenshots in 1997 of Luigi running through the castle. There are also a number of rabbits to catch in the castle itself - Mips the rabbit is back with a whole family of multicolored rabbits. For each rabbit our heroes can catch, a new mini-game is unlocked.
The mini-games of Super Mario 64 DS are designed to aid players in becoming accustomed to the Nintendo DS's touch screen and are divided up by character. Yoshi's games are simple point-and-choose affairs, challenging the player to choose under which moving tox box an item is located or pick the right sequence of tiles to complete a pattern. Mario's games are more action-based, such as a challenge in which players must draw trampolines under falling Marios in order to keep all the plumbers in the air. Variations on this theme include also bouncing the Marios off Fly Guys and through floating rings. Luigi's games are casino based and include poker, slot machines, and memory match challenges. Wario's games are strategy and luck based, including a simple pinball machine, a plinko board, and some interesting slingshot rounds of target practice. Each game keeps a high score record and make for an interesting diversion from the main adventure.
The last new element added to the original Super Mario 64 is a multiplayer mode. The original game lacked such an option, but now up to four players can run around four small levels - the main castle garden, Princess Peach's secret slide, the new Block Fort, and the new beachside environment - trying to collect more stars than other players in thirty seconds. Each player takes on the role of a different-colored Yoshi, although with the aid of the special caps scattered around the level players can become another character and use their skills to grab stars. Just as in the single-player adventure the top screen displays the action and the bottom screen shows the level map. This multiplayer mode requires only one Super Mario 64 DS game card, but each player will need his or her own Nintendo DS to join in on the fun.
Nintendo has provided three different control methods in Super Mario 64 DS: a standard control mode that uses only the control pad and buttons, a touch screen mode that uses the touch screen to simulate the Nintendo 64's analog control stick, and a dual hand mode that uses both the stylus and either the control pad or the buttons. Standard mode uses the control pad to move the current character at a slow walking speed, but by holding down the Y button the character will run at a faster speed. The camera is controlled via the touch screen. The touch screen mode requires the use of the Nintendo DS's thumb strap and allows players to drag a thumb across the screen; small movements make the character creep and large movements allow for full-on running. The camera is controlled by the X and Y buttons. This mode is the only mode that approximate's Super Mario 64's original controls. Dual hand mode allows players to use the stylus in either hand to move the character on the touch screen and duplicates the button functions on the control pad. This is a rather complex control system, but is beneficial for left-handed players. Note that the mini-games require only the stylus for control; no buttons or control pad are required to control the action.
Super Mario 64 DS is an excellent way to launch a system, as it reproduces the original memorable Nintendo 64 experience on-the-go and adds in some new features plus revamped visuals (Mario looks more like his Super Mario Sunshine character model than his original Super Mario 64 appearance) and added sounds (Yoshi grunts and whines as always). North America and Japan received the game in late 2004, but Europe and the rest of the world will have to wait for 2005 to explore the expanded adventure along with the Nintendo DS itself. Let's-a-go one more time.

CURRENTLY RECORDING AND SELF-PRODUCING HIS 11th SOLO STUDIO ALBUM
Beach Boys Legend Has Been Joined In the Studio by Jeff Beck and Others
Hollywood, California - June 6, 2013 - Beach Boys legend Brian Wilson has returned to Capitol Music Group and he is currently recording and self-producing his 11th solo studio album at Hollywood's Ocean Way Studios. Wilson has been joined in the studio by talented friends he personally invited to record with him, including guitar icon Jeff Beck.
Wilson has also asked his former Beach Boys bandmates Al Jardine and David Marks to join him in the studio, as well as session all-stars Don Was and Jim Keltner. He has brought in Vinnie Colaiuta and Tal Wilkenfeld, who for several years have toured and recorded as Jeff Beck's rhythm section, and members of Wilson's longtime touring band, including Jeffrey Foskett, Scott Bennett, Paul Mertens, Darian Sahanaja, and Probyn Gregory, have also participated in the sessions.
Last year's Beach Boys 50th anniversary reunion made headlines around the world as one of the year's top entertainment stories. The iconic band released their 29th studio album, That's Why God Made The Radio, which debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 (the group's best-ever album chart bow), and embarked on their 50th Anniversary Tour, the band's first major outing to include Wilson in more than two decades. The sold-out trek took Wilson and his former bandmates The Beach Boys to more than 70 cities around the world, including their first concert at the Hollywood Bowl since 1965, headlining performances at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, and tour-closing concerts at London's O2 Arena and Royal Albert Hall.
Wilson continued to write new songs throughout The Beach Boys' whirlwind anniversary year, which also included a GRAMMY® Award win for him for The Beach Boys' long-awaited SMiLE Sessions release. He told family, friends, and journalists around the world that he had a rock & roll-driven album in mind, and he looked forward to returning to the studio when he got back home to California.
"I was really moved by the fans' excitement about The Beach Boys' album and tour last year," says Wilson. "It charged me up and my head was full of music - I just couldn't wait to get back into the studio to let it out."
With rock & roll in mind, Wilson looked to Jeff Beck, a guitar virtuoso named one of the top five players of all time by Rolling Stone and a friend whose music has meant a lot to him over the years. Wilson says, "When I watched Jeff Beck perform 'Surf's Up' to honor me at the MusiCares Person of the Year event in 2005, I knew I had to find a way to work with him. He absolutely blew my mind and we've been friends ever since. Jeff's incredible guitar playing is exactly what I want for my new album and I'm also looking forward to performing live with him soon."
Installed at Ocean Way, Wilson and his hand-picked band of friends have taken a fluid, woodshedding approach to the recording process, letting collaborative creativity drive the sessions. Wilson is working with longtime collaborator Joe Thomas to hone the arrangements, often assembling pieces from various takes. Details about the album and its release will be shared soon.
Wilson is pleased to once again be working with his team at Capitol Music Group. "My long relationship with Capitol and the people there means a lot to me," he says. "I'm very happy, because the label has grown a lot and I'm working with a great group of people who have welcomed me back to Capitol with good ears and open arms."
Capitol Music Group chairman and CEO Steve Barnett says, "Brian Wilson is simply one of the most important figures in the history of popular music, and he continues to have a far-reaching and influential impact on our culture. His contributions to the legacy of Capitol Records are immeasurable, and I couldn't be more thrilled that he is once again part of the Capitol family and that he is already employing his enormous musical powers to create new music. What a pleasure for me to say, 'Welcome back, Brian'."
One of popular music's most deeply revered figures and one of the past century's most important composers, Brian Wilson began his career as a teenaged co-founder of The Beach Boys. The Beach Boys signed with Capitol Records in July 1962 and released their first album, Surfin' Safari, that same year. The band's initial surf-rock focus was soon broadened to include other themes, and 1966's Pet Sounds is universally hailed as one of the greatest albums of all time. Wilson's innovative vocal and instrumental arrangements for major hits including "I Get Around," "California Girls," "Wouldn't It Be Nice," "God Only Knows," and the No. 1 smash "Good Vibrations" made The Beach Boys America's preeminent band of the 1960s. With their 50th anniversary reunion, launched with a performance on last year's GRAMMY® Awards telecast, The Beach Boys became the first American band to reach the 50-year milestone.
Brian Wilson has also achieved great solo success with 10of his own albums released to date, including his acclaimed 2004 completion of an album he first began recording in the '60s, Brian Wilson Presents... SMiLE, which reached Billboard's Top 20 and earned him his first GRAMMY® Award for a recording. Wilson has also performed major, sold-out SMiLE and Pet Sounds tours in recent years with his own band. Wilson is a Kennedy Center Honors recipient and a Songwriters Hall Of Fame inductee, and as a member of The Beach Boys, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988 and honored with The Recording Academy's Lifetime Achievement GRAMMY® Award in 2001.
Brian Wilson will be performing select shows this summer with Al Jardine and David Marks:
July 20 - Atlantic City, NY The Grand @ The Golden Nugget
July 21 - Pittsburgh, PA Stage AE-Outdoor Stage
July 23 - Interlochen, MI Kresge Auditorium

We all have a quest for living full lives, emotionally, physically, mentally and psychologically improved and better. Bio identical Hormone replacement therapy provides a solution to a complete satisfied life, a physiological state of your 30's.
As you reach a particular age, it takes more than diet and exercise to keep that weight off and maintaining an ideal weight. Age management together with nutrition and medically based fitness helps in getting the weight loss you desire. Bio identical Hormone replacement therapy is one such medically based fitness therapy that favours weight loss.
What is Bio identical Hormone replacement therapy?
Bio identical Hormone replacement therapy has become the current topic of research because of its beneficial effects on the wellness and well being. It is also known as BHRT and uses the same chemical structure as the hormones which are present in the human body. It does not have any unpleasant side effects and also do not harm the body.
BHRT increases lipid oxidation (fat burning), lowers plasma lipids and improves the insulin response, thus helping in weight loss.
The hormone production in our body slows down as we age. Decrease in serum levels are seen in symptoms like visceral fats, fatigue, depression, mental confusion and low libido. BHRT supplements the body in a natural and a healthy way.
Bio identical Hormone replacement therapy is especially helpful in post menopausal women and men suffering from andropause. Andropause is caused by gradual drop in testosterone. Bio identical Hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) is the key to issues key to anti aging and weight issues.
BHRT has seen to reduce symptoms of menopause, promote anti aging and improves quality of life.
All these problems occur with the symptoms of weight gain, mood swings, brain fog, cholesterol and bloating. The hormone imbalances are treated by BHRT (Bio identical Hormone replacement). The BHRT dose is person specific and is prescribed to patients and assembled by pharmacists.
BHRT is molecularly similar to endogenous hormones in the human body. The exact combination of hormones for every individual is tested in the lab. Normally women get a compound mix of estradiol, estrone, and progesterone, as well as testosterone. Yes it is surprising, women also need testosterone.
BHRT and synthetic hormones should not be confused with one another. BHRT and synthetic hormone treatments are completely two different therapies. BHRT has no side effects. Whereas synthetic hormones have been known to cause heart risk, risk of breast cancer and doctors think before advising on synthetic hormones.
Bio identical Hormone replacement therapy has proved beneficial especially for people in the age group of 40 to 80 years of age who were trying to lose weight for a very long time.
Also should be noted that BHRT is for people who want to seek help with their hormonal imbalances and are ready to go on an effective healthy food diet after the therapy. BHRT has proved successful in patients across Europe and United states. Let us see how bio- identical Hormone replacement therapy can help men and women.
For women:
For men:
Weight gain is seen in people from their 40's and they are unable to lose weight in spite of the efforts. This is caused by the hormonal imbalance that occurs post 40's in both men and women. BHRT helps in regaining the hormonal balance and thus helps reducing this weight. Loss of unwanted weight also helps in bringing respite from many other obesity linked illnesses like blood pressure, diabetes, osteoporosis etc. BHRT thus promotes a healthy life and wellness.
BHRT chemicals are derived from plants and not from synthetic sources. Many studies have been done and also been currently done to confirm on any negative effects of the BHRT therapy. Several clinical trials are being conducted to see the link between BHRT and weight loss. Bio identical Hormone replacement therapy is in the forms of creams, pellets and other delivery methods too. They have been helpful to many people across the world. They are safe and beneficial. The most important is that BHRT helps when the therapy occurs in a controlled environment, i.e. the external factors are controlled, like diet, exercise and other healthy lifestyle changes.
Author Bio: Jason Phillips has shared this post. He is well known writer and is known for writing articles on health fitness. Now a days he is working on bioidentical hormone replacement therapy and found that the therapy is useful for people who wants to live healthy lifestyle.

The project seeks to create the necessary intimacy to live in the desert and to 'domesticate' it without denying or betraying its characteristics. Barclay & Crousse started by conceiving a pure solid which would appear to have always been there. During the design process, we "excavated" this theoretical solid, removing matter bit-by-bit, just as archaeologists would remove sand to discover the pre-Columbian ruins in this region. The resulting exterior spaces merge with interior spaces in a continuous fluid space within an enclosure that pushes the ambiguity between interior and exterior spaces to its limits.

FORT WORTH (CBSDFW.COM) – A new phase of construction on West Berry Street bordering the southern edge of TCU will put a major intersection out of commission for as much as two months.
The intersection of Berry and University Drive will receive a huge facelift and cause equally large changes in driving plans for commuters and residents in the area.
"There will be a lot more traffic," said Wes Knaub who lives near TCU. "You just got to plan your day a little more than usual. You can't just roll through here and expect to go on with your day normally."
The new normal for the intersection will include construction crews, detours and traffic snags.
Fort Worth will use $2 million in grant funds to rebuild the intersection and change Berry Street from six lanes with turn lanes to four lanes divided by medians.
It will add improved traffic signals, street side parking and new landscaping. The city chose to do the project now to expedite construction and avoid student traffic in the fall.
That means traffic in all directions must now find ways around the normally busy intersection.
And that's isolating businesses near the intersection from their customers.
The construction is already delivering headaches at The Box shipping store. The barricades in the street out front have boxed out customer traffic, employees say.
"I've had about four customers today," said Ashley Snedden, a store employee. "We usually get foot traffic and people coming through but its still been slow for that."
And people who live nearby know the traffic will now meander through their neighborhoods. There's little they can do but hope construction finishes quickly.
"We'll just sit outside in our porch swing comfortably and watch people drive by in their cars while we just hang out," Knaub said.

Activision are back with their latest Modern Warfare 3 teaser video and this time, we get a little sneak peak look at the upcoming Black Box DLC map as well as two new Spec Ops missions that will come as part of the latest Elite Content Drop.
Just like their last teaser for the Overwatch map, Rob Riggle is once again back in charge of promoting the new content and if you are a fan of his style of humor, this video should bring a few laughs, especially the moment when the dog enters the scene.
Just to remind you, the next content drop for Elite subscribers on the Xbox 360 will be going live on March 13 and will include two Specs Ops missions called Black Ice and Negotiator, as well as the multiplayer map Black Box mentioned above. We have told you a little info about this map in the past and just to remind you, gameplay will take place on the scene of a crashed air force one plane with players being able to enter two levels of wreckage from plane, either upstairs or downstairs.
The map looks quite small we have to say, similar in the mold of Nuketown but not as small. It's a shame that there is only one new map this time around, but those two spec ops missions should also keep you busy before the next content drop arrives, which will undoubtedly bring even more maps to the game.
As usual, Black Box will be available on the Xbox 360 first, so don't expect to download this on March 13 if you have a PS3 Elite subscription. Check out the gameplay below and let us know your thoughts on it – Is this the best looking MW3 map so far?

Does anyone have a Hot Rod Yellow Leaf/50?
I posted in the buy/sell/trade section as well but I am not necessarily looking to acquire one at this time. This is just kind of a feeler. I have a yellow base set on the Leaf Originals but have been offered an almost too good to believe and pass up trade offer on my Piper yellow. I want to make the deal because I am coming out WAY ahead on the deal as the collector is willing to pay out since it is all he needs to finish off a yellow base set himself. Does anybody out there have another Piper yellow they would be willing to trade or sell down the road to me if I make a deal with the guy? I would hate to trade away my Yellow Piper and then be searching for the final piece to a yellow set into my mid fifties and kicking myself for the deal. (Even though with what I have been offered it would be hard to imagine). As always I overpay in trade to get what I need so if anyone could help me out it would be greatly appreciated.

If anyone decides they want to make a trade on one let me know. I have extra Hogan, Hall, Flairs, etc.. that can be traded. About the only guys I don't have to trade are Graham and Sammartino. Also I have a white background base Piper that I would be willing to add to if someone wanted to swap me for a yellow. And an even less desirable but possible trade would be the fact that I have a yellow alternate that I could swap for a base yellow. That would then leave me in need of another alternate of some sort, but being I wouldn't be picky I don't see that being a problem down the road.

Mardi Gras in New Orleans is celebrated for about two weeks before Ash Wednesday and the beginning of the Lenten season. It features daily parades and parties, though I don't think fire works are a part of the celebration. During the parades, people on the floats throw beads and trinkets to the crowd. We took these photos at the factory that makes decorations for the parade floats. I'm at the bottom right of the dragon float. TFL!
Your colors are great for the photos and I love the beads draping down.
Great layout! Love the colors and beads along with the photos.
Perfect subject for an outdoor celebration! Love the colors and beads. The photos are great too!
Cute layout - love the beads you made!
Oh my gosh! that dragon is much bigger than I thought. Love the colors and the festive look of your page. Those beads are the best!
Love the colours, make me want to dance. Love your photos too, and the beads. Thanks for joining the challenge.
What interesting photos. I think the beads are great - just as if youve pulled back a bead curtain to reveal the scene.
Love this New Orleans theme. Great colors and bead curtain. I too am surprised at how large the floats are. Seems like a trip to definitely not miss!
Great use of this collection. Love the simplicity of this page.
Cool photo Diane and great use of the collection. Makes me long for a parade. Wonderful layout!

Understanding socio-economic determinants of childhood mortality: a retrospective analysis in Uganda. | |
Jump to Full Text | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 22070908 Owner: NLM Status: PubMed-not-MEDLINE |
BACKGROUND: Teso sub-region of Eastern Uganda had superior indices of childhood survival during the period 1959 to 1969 compared to the national average. We analysed the reasons that could explain this situation with a view of suggesting strategies for reducing childhood mortality. METHODS: We compared the childhood mortalities and their average annual reduction rate (AARR) of Teso sub-region with those of Uganda for the period 1959 to 1969. We also compared indicators of social economic well being (such as livestock per capita and per capita intake of protein/energy). In addition data was compared on other important determinants of child survival such as level of education and rate of urbanisation. FINDINGS: In 1969 the infant mortality rate (IMR) for Teso was 94 per 1000 live births compared to the 120 for Uganda. Between 1959 and 1969 the AARR for IMR for Teso was 4.57% compared to 3% for Uganda. It was interesting that the AARR for Teso was higher than that that of 4.4.% required to achieve millennium development goal number four (MDG4). The rate of urbanisation and the level of education were higher in Uganda compared to Teso during the same period. Teso had a per capita ownership of cattle of 1.12 compared to Uganda's 0.44. Teso sub region had about 3 times the amount of protein and about 2 times the amount of calories compared to Uganda. CONCLUSIONS: We surmise that higher ownership of cattle and growing of high protein and energy foods might have been responsible for better childhood survival in Teso compared to Uganda. |

The socio-economic condition of the population is a major determinant of childhood survival at individual, household and community level [1,2]. Social economic conditions influence the risk of childhood mortality by influencing intermediate or proximate variables such maternal factors, environmental contamination, nutrient deficiency, injury and personal illness control [3-8]. Childhood mortality is thus multi-factorial in causality, may have long latency periods between exposure and manifestation and thus the need for a multidisciplinary approach to understanding the causes and methods of alleviating childhood mortality is clear [9,10]. Such an approach is also useful to understand the mortality disparities say between geographical regions and between different segments of the population [10]. Therefore an in depth investigation to connect ecological or socio-economic factors that may influence specific proximate determinants can give policy makers insights into development strategies that could reduce the differentials in childhood mortality [9-11]. Such an understanding could also lead to implementation of strategies/programmes aimed at a rapid decline in childhood mortality especially in low income countries where the rates are very high [11]. This approach may thus enable an acceleration of reduction in childhood mortality necessary to achieve millennium development goal number four (MDG4) especially in areas that face an uphill task in achieving the goal such as Uganda [12].
In this report we compared the childhood mortality in Teso sub-region of Uganda to the Ugandan national averages. We also analyse why Teso sub-region of Uganda appeared to have superior childhood survival indices compared to Uganda during the period 1959-1969. The period 1959 to 1969 was chosen because it was the most stable politically and most prosperous time during the history of Uganda [13]. Besides data for comparison during the said time was available (e.g.) from the 1959/69 census as well as from the 1962/63 and 1967/68 agricultural censuses [14-16].
During the period 1959-1969, Uganda was classified as a low income country whose gross domestic product (GDP) per capita was about 656 United States Dollars [17]. The total area of Uganda is approximately 241038 km2. However, the land surface covers only 197100 km2, as open water resources such as the Lake Victoria take about 18% of the country. The population of Uganda in 1969 was about 9.5 million people who were predominantly rural dwellers (about 94%) and rapidly growing at an annual rate of 3.9% [15]. More than 95% of the total population were engaged in subsistence agriculture which comprised a large variety of both crops and livestock products. Agriculture formed the backbone of the economy and contributed over 80% to the GDP and over 90% to the export revenue. The main cash crops were coffee, tea, cotton and tobacco whereas the main food crops were bananas, maize, millet, cassava, beans, groundnuts and simsim.
Teso sub-region is found in the eastern part of Uganda covering a land area of 11060 km2 and had about 6% of Uganda's population. Since 1910, Teso has had a superior economy, dietary and general wellbeing compared to the Uganda national averages [14,15,18]. Indeed in the 1960s the wellbeing of Teso was comparable to that of Kampala city and its surrounding peri-urban prosperous county of Kyadondo (now Wakiso district) [15]. In 1959 and 1969 Uganda was divided into 17 administrative districts. In terms of infant mortality rate (IMR) Teso was ranked third of the 17 districts. In 1959 the IMR for Teso was 150 per 1000 live births compared to 160 per 1000 live births for Uganda. In 1969 the IMR for Teso was 94 compared to 120 for Uganda.
The major predictors of improved childhood survival in Uganda at population level in Uganda during the period 1959-1969 were living in an urban environment as well high level of maternal education [14,15]. Current data also indicates that urban environment, high maternal education, wealth index as well as low total fertility (reflected in birth spacing) are important for child survival [19].
We compared the childhood mortalities and average annual reduction rates (AARR) of Teso sub-region with those of Uganda for the period 1959 to 1969. The childhood mortalities compared were infant mortality rate (IMR), child mortality rate (CMR) and under-five mortality rate (U5MR). The IMR is the probability of dying between birth and the first birth day. The CMR is the probability of dying between exact one age and the fifth birth day whereas the U5MR is the probability of dying between birth and fifth birth day. The U5MR and the IMR are expressed as deaths per 1000 live births and the CMR is expressed as deaths per 1000 children surviving to the first birth day. Because data on CMR was not available for the 1959 censuses we used the IMR for the calculation of AARR.
We also compared proxy indicators of social economic well being (such as livestock per capita area under major crops) for Teso sub region and for Uganda. In addition data was compared on other important determinants of child survival such as level of education, rate of urbanisation and the total fertility rate.
The sources of data for childhood mortality in this study were derived from the 1959 and 1969 Uganda national censuses [14,15]. Data on urbanization, level of education and on total fertility is also available in 1959 and 1969 censuses reports for the country. Objective and reliable data on agriculture (crops and livestock) was obtained from the 1967/68, agricultural sample survey [16]. This survey built on the 1963/64 censuses on Agriculture. Although routine agricultural reporting services started in Uganda during the colonial times (in 1950s) where district officers collected and provided data on crops and live stock, these data were commonly incomplete and inaccurate and could therefore not be relied on for this analysis.
The Uganda National Council for Science and Technology (UNCST) and the Makerere University Institute of Public Health (MUIPH) institutional review board independently approved the study. Prior to data collection permission was sought from the relevant Uganda government authorities.
The trends of childhood mortalities in Teso sub-region compared to the Uganda national average are shown in Table 1. Teso had lower childhood mortalities compared to Uganda. This difference was found between both child mortality and infant mortality rate but was more marked for child mortality (see percentage differences in parentheses of Table 1.). Between 1959 and 1969, the average annual reduction rate (AARR) of Infant mortality rate for Teso of 4.57% was superior to that of Uganda of 3%.
In Table 2 we compared maternal education, urban environment as well as total fertility for Teso and Uganda during 1959-1969. As can be seen, the rates of urbanisation and of maternal education were lower in Teso compared to Uganda. The total fertility for Teso was much lower than that of Uganda.
Because Uganda was and still is predominantly an agricultural country we compared agricultural production in Teso to that in Uganda as a proxy for wealth index. The results of these comparisons are shown in Tables 3, 4, and 5. Table 3 shows that about 15% of the national herd of cattle in 1968 were in Teso. Other indicators such as percent of households with cattle, per capita ownership of cattle and use of cattle for traction are much superior in Teso compared to Uganda.
The area under major food crops is shown in Table 4. In Teso 4746 km2 (33%) of the land area was under food crops compared to 34902 (19.5%) for Uganda. The major crops grown in Teso were finger millet, sorghum, ground nuts and cow peas whereas the major crops grown in Uganda were bananas, cassava, sweat potatoes, maize and beans.
Table 5 shows the energy and protein content of major food crops that were grown in Uganda and how their availability varied for Teso compared to Uganda. Because the crops grown in Teso sub region were of high protein and high energy density the sub region had about 3 times the amount of protein and about 2.3 times the amount of calories compared to Uganda. These figures did not take into effect animal's sources of protein and energy but given the fact that Teso sub region had about 2.5 times the number of cattle compared to Uganda, one may assume that the diet in Teso was even richer than the average diet in Uganda.
These data show that childhood survival in Teso sub-region for the period 1959-1969 were superior compared to Uganda. The AARR between 1959 and 1969 of IMR (4.57%) for Teso was much higher than for Uganda (3%). It was also interesting to note that the AARR for Teso was more than the 4.4% required to attain MDG4 [12].
Our analyses also show that level of urbanisation was higher in Uganda compared to Teso sub-region. The level of education was also slightly better in Uganda compared to Teso. On the other hand total fertility was lower in Teso compared to Uganda. Furthermore, ownership of cattle and acreage under crops was much higher in Teso. Moreover, the crops grown in Teso were more nutritious being richer in protein, energy and in iron.
Because urbanisation and education were more favourable in Uganda compared to Teso we surmised that these indicators could not be responsible for the superior child survival in Teso. We instead hypothesized that the favourable indices related to ownership of cattle, differences in acreage under crops and in total fertility observed in Teso could be the ones responsible for the superior child survival. The low total fertility in Teso compared to Uganda has been linked to a cultural norm of prolonged breastfeeding that was estimated to last more than 2 years [15].
In this study we used ownership of cattle, land area under crops and availability of per capita protein and energy foods as proxy measures of socioeconomic wellbeing. This is because conventional measures of social economic status such GDP per capita and the gini coefficient were not available for Teso sub-region and for Uganda. However, such indicators are major determinants of social-economic status especially in agricultural communities of Uganda [21,22].
Besides this analyses were based on retrospective data collected in censuses. It was therefore not possible to make comparisons regarding other causes of childhood survival such as access to health services.
The superiority of socio-economic characteristics of Teso sub-region were based on a peculiar farming system whose advantages could not be replicated anywhere in Uganda [18,20]. The most distinguishing characteristic of the Teso farming system was the keeping of livestock and growing of high energy-protein crops, the two components being intricately integrated. This farming system was based on the use of ox-drawn implements, in a finger millet-cotton economy under a fairly high population and livestock density. Due to the use of animal draught, the system had the highest cultivated land per capita in the whole country, estimated at 8 acres per capita.
Thus the superior childhood survival indices in Teso sub region could be explained from several perspectives. First are the advantages of a cattle based mixed type of farming. Data from Uganda that analysed determinants of childhood mortality at household level has demonstrated ownership of cattle as major determinant of child survival [22]. The Livestock in Teso sub-region provided multiple benefits such as manure for improving soil fertility, animal traction and as source of cash all of which improves community wellbeing. Besides, because of livestock animal based traction men could take part in crop production through opening land. This would allow women particularly the pregnant and lactating women time for rest and more time to care for the children. Contemporary research point to the fact that as women are engaged in increased production relative to rearing of children, the benefits of increased production do not directly translate into well being of children [23]. Moreover, the use of animal draught, lead to higher productivity and easier opening of virgin land for agriculture meaning that fallowing was possible thereby allowing previously used land to rest and regain fertility [18].
Second the crops grown in Teso sub region had a very much higher density of protein and energy than those of Uganda meaning that malnutrition in Teso sub-region was much lower than the national average [18,20]. The food in Teso sub region was also more likely to be complete with essential amino-acids such as lysine and methionine [20,24] Furthermore, the major food crops produced in Teso (especially millet and groundnuts) were more likely to be stored for longer periods of time without being destroyed compared to major foods for the rest of Uganda. This increased food security in Teso and reduced the risk of food shortages [18,20,24].
The data suggest that mixed farming based on ownership of cattle, growing of high protein/high energy foods and semi-mechanization (as use of animal traction) may be an excellent combination to improve wellbeing of rural populations and accelerate the decline in childhood mortalities.

Unvented is not necessarily old.
About 60% of all jackets in a Giorgio Armani store I recently looked at were unvented.
Saw a Bottega Venetia suit from a very recent collection - ventless.
Recent Canali suit sitting at Off Fifth = ventless.
True, over here in most high scale department stores, ventless pieces are not very common. When I was in Italy around 6 years ago, many many suit jackets and SC's were ventless. I have no idea what it is like today, but 6 years is not that long ago.
My summary: Ventless is not out of date at all, it is just an old wives tale that ventless = 1980's / prehistorical bollocks.post #50838 of 13872810/22/12 at 10:36amYep, this is a rather old insole. Before the current natural color insole, there was the black insole, and before that the tan insole, with all of them the writing was perpendicular to the length of the shoe. This insole is from before that time period, but I don't know when that was from.

Did pick up an Eton french cuff shirt that is currently getting the treatment for the neck but is there any way to get permanent marker out of a shirt? It's way down at the bottom of the shirt but I'd like to get rid of the last name written in black marker.Yes, but your options quickly disappear if not treated quickly/first/correctly. I've had excellent luck with Carbona ink remover - a soap based product which 'm sure is similar to Amodex. Also, I generally do longer soak periods and dilute the the soap treatment with some 90% isoproply alcohol, which also works quite well with ink stains. Its the old soap and solvent overnight heave-ho in getting that last little bit which doesn't want to dab out.
Hairspray is often recommend because of the high alocohl content but 90% is cheaper than hairspray for the most part.
However, be warned - soaps don't work to well after a drying if you use a dryer AND chlorine bleach sets ink stains. I always air dry if there is even a chance of potentially re-treating, espically after laundering.
I have never tried to remove ink after an oxy treatment, but I'd be inclined to think it would be more difficult. I don't know if the ph changes or hyrogen peroxide react with inks. Perhaps over christmas I'll experiment.
Hope this helps

All good info. I probably screwed it up by trying the oxy first but good info for the future as well. No big loss if so since it was cheap and I haven't even tried it on yet.post #50845 of 13872810/22/12 at 11:49amGot a like new green Barbour jacket today, I think Bedale.

post #50847 of 13872810/22/12 at 11:58amQuote:Anyway you can take a full pic of it? I found a very similar one a week ago by HSM. I need to switch out the buttons, pics in a couple days when I get em done.
post #50848 of 13872810/22/12 at 12:11pmWent thrifting for the first time in a while, found some interesting shtuff.
Vintage "Yukali" Moto Jacket, appears to be made in Japan though I'm not quite certain. Amazing patina and fits great
I found these today, they're Charles Phillip Shanghai slippers, but I cannot tell for the life of me if they're for men or women and where the hell the decided to list the size. Any tips? I've never gotten around to owning a pair of these before.... (available, if they're for women then it's off to the 'bay)
Lastly (for now), Mossy-green Harris Tweed J-Crew sportcoat, sz 44, availiable. Thing doesn't even look like it's ever been worn. I love the color, and the red detailing is pretty cool. Why don't more things fit me -_-
-3 button
-single vent
-Made in Macau, but real Harris Tweed
-Seems to be fairly new style wise

Tweed 3 pc Suit, 40R 33/31
Brooks Brothers Cap Toe Buck Balmorals 10 D
That 3 piece is awesome! Find me one around a 42R
Also tempted by the BB shooz... weird combination of balmoral with casual leather and sole.
