nicmcstic needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 175 designs submitted by 18 freelance designers.
Durham Equine Practice
I am a vet in the UK specilaising in horses and I now wish to provide a fully mobile service for all of my clients. The logo is to be designed for marketing my business and to help me build the brand of Durham Equine Practice. The winning logo will appear on vehicles, letterheads, the website, clothing and flyers/posters/business cards
This is a varied audience, but the common theme is that they are all horse owners who require a veterinary surgeon. I therefore would like to have a broad appeal, but also need the logo to appear professional as I will be offering a professional service.
People of all ages, sex and financial backgrounds will be using this practice
Simplicity is the key.
The logo needs to focus on the name Durham Equine Practice. I want it to be contemporary, classy, cutting edge and stylish. I therefore do not want cartoons or anything too old fashioned.
The colours I have in mind are blues- something like teal, duck egg blue, navy blue or royal blue. But I'm open to most ideas except pink, yellow,orange or purple.
I am open to the idea of using a modern equine image as part of the logo. Something like a line drawing of a horse head or horse galloping. I'm not keen on a horse shoe image
The type face should be clear, simple and bold.
I quite like the idea of facebook logo where the typeface is white on a background of blue.
A logo I do like is found at lochlevenequine.co.uk- i like this logo as it is simple and stylish.
Another example I like is at equitait.com
I require the logo in a format so that it can be used on my website, stationary, vehicles and clothing.
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo.

In the category of baseball controversies that not only don't die but don't even taper off a little bit, we have now had two decades of the argument regarding Pete Rose.
We have come to the 20th anniversary of Rose accepting a lifetime ban from baseball for gambling on baseball. In every single moment during these 20 years, you could start a heated debate among baseball fans anywhere, by uttering these four simple words: "What about Pete Rose ..."
It is a classic debate. Against Rose is the fact that he violated the game's first commandment: Don't bet on baseball. For Rose is the argument that his stature as a player was such that he must be reinstated and made eligible for the Hall of Fame.
Over the years, Rose's own conduct damaged his cause. For 14 years he denied that he bet on baseball. He then produced an autobiography in which he admitted that he had gambled on baseball and then lied about gambling on baseball. Not only had he bet on baseball, he had bet on Cincinnati Reds games when he was managing that club.
Rose insisted that he had always bet on the Reds to win, but baseball's prohibition on gambling is clear and inclusive. It is posted on the wall of every Major League clubhouse, and in more than one language.
Circumstances did conspire against Rose after he accepted the ban, which followed an exhaustive investigation by John M. Dowd, formerly a prominent Justice Department attorney. In the ban agreement, Rose did not have to admit guilt and could apply for reinstatement after one year. But as part of the agreement, Rose also voluntarily accepted a lifetime ban.
After the agreement, then Commissioner of Baseball A. Bartlett Giamatti stated publicly that he believed Rose had bet on baseball. Of course he believed it; otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to the trouble of banning baseball's all-time leader in hits. Giamatti, a former president of Yale University, was a brilliant man, whose commitment to the game was truly profound, and was expressed in language that was eloquent, at times poetic. Giamatti was appalled that a leading figure in the game could be involved in baseball betting.
Just eight days after the ban, Giamatti died of a massive heart attack. Some of his friends believed that the extreme stress of the Rose investigation and the subsequent banishment was a contributing factor in his death.
The next two Commissioners -- Fay Vincent and Bud Selig -- were very close friends of Giamatti. Had Giamatti lived, he might have reinstated Rose. But the two subsequent Commissioners were not positioned for a lavish show of mercy in this case.
Rose had some momentum behind an application for reinstatement in 2003. However, the furor over his admission of gambling, and the fact that he couldn't produce anything resembling a penitent public face, derailed his chances.
Reinstatement in and of itself is only a portion of the issue with Rose. If he is reinstated, then he would presumably be eligible for election to the Hall of Fame.
On one hand, it is difficult to rationalize the National Baseball Hall of Fame not opening its doors to the all-time hits leader. This is, after all, "Charlie Hustle," the epitome of effort, a gamer for the ages.
On the other hand, there is the seriousness of Rose's offense. You have heard people say, "They let all those steroids guys play; why can't Rose be reinstated?"
These are apples and oranges. The users of performance-enhancing drugs cheated, but they cheated with the intention of gaining a competitive edge. They suffered from an impulse that was simultaneously wrong and human.
There is no "but" with gambling on baseball. It is all wrong. So Rose said he only bet on his team to win? If Rose bet on the Reds four times a week, what did he tell the rest of the gambling community about the other three games?
The fact is that baseball's worst time in history, its least credible moment, its lowest position morally, spiritually, emotionally, came in 1919, when members of the White Sox conspired with gamblers to throw the World Series. For historical purposes, they became the Black Sox.
Much of the history of baseball can be seen as a reaction to that event. Its leadership became centralized. The first Commissioner, Kenesaw Mountain Landis, began his tenure by banning eight White Sox players from the 1919 team for life. There was no appeal from his ruling, even though there was considerable evidence that Buck Weaver was innocent.
But from that time forward, the worst baseball-related sin anybody in the game could commit was gambling on the game. So in the scheme of baseball crimes, what Rose did was first-degree murder. For that, he received what amounted to a life sentence.
Can a two-decade banishment be considered enough of a price to pay? Hall of Famer Mike Schmidt, a former teammate of Rose with the Phillies, took this position in a statement quoted by The Associated Press on Saturday, saying, "Twenty years have passed; isn't that enough?"
And Rose is 68 now. Perhaps advancing age will make him a more sympathetic figure.
There is a middle road, a compromise solution available. That would be a limited reinstatement.
For those who demand that Rose must be in the Hall of Fame, make him eligible for election to the Hall. For those who demand that his punishment for betting on baseball must be a lifetime punishment, prohibit Rose from taking any position with any club in organized baseball. In this way, both Rose's greatness and his sins could both be clearly recognized.
In the absence of that sort of compromise, what will happen? Shortly after taking over as Commissioner, Selig said that it was very unlikely that he would reinstate Rose during his tenure. Nobody knew at that time that Selig's tenure would be 19 years, if one assumes that he will retire at the end of his current contract, which runs through 2012.
In recent years, Selig's responses to Rose-related queries have been much more non-committal. His most recent answer to a question about Rose's status was, "It is under review." So there is, once again, renewed speculation about a possible reinstatement.
Even now, 20 years into Rose's forced retirement, the controversy over his status refuses to go quietly away. Such is his stature in the game and in banishment from the game.
He was always notable for the way he played. Eventually, he was even more notable for what he accomplished and the records he set. Now, he is notable by his absence.
The argument about his reinstatement will go on as long as the banishment goes on and Rose is still alive. In fact, if he is not reinstated during his lifetime, the argument will probably take on the quality of something very much like eternal life.

Background and Education
Prior to joining the teaching faculty here in Biological Engineering, I was myself educated at MIT for ten years (this is sometimes derisively referred to as being a "lifer"). I first acquired an S.B. in Chemical Engineering (2001), then a Ph.D. in Polymer Science and Engineering under the auspices of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering (2007). My interest in the interface between biology and materials came about late in my undergraduate career, and I was fortunate to pursue this interest at the graduate level in Darrell Irvine's lab. In addition to a challenging and engaging research experience, graduate school offered me a chance to hone my teaching (assistant) chops, first in 3.012 (thermodynamics), then in 20.361 (biotechnology). I have a passion for the written word, whether reading literature, or enabling effective and elegant science communication. My greatest interest now is in fostering a science-literate citizenry by multiple tacks: at the college instructor level, this means developing the abilities of students to navigate a large body of information, to understand the logic of experimental design, and to communicate their findings to myriad audiences.
Core Teaching Values: Goals and Expectations
Lessons from year one
- Transparency - I would like to convey to you why you are learning what you are learning at every stage, and also how you will be held accountable for this knowledge. In turn, I expect you to keep me abreast of any bugs or features of the course.
- Responsibility - I hope to take the basics (keeping up with classwork, being considerate of your labmates) for granted. Rather, I aspire for us to engage in issues both intrinsic and seemingly peripheral to the course, such as the ethical implications of biotechnology.
- Adaptability - No matter what your next career may be, adaptation to unexpected outcomes and the ability to redefine your strategy and goals will be vital. In my own case, flexibility and experimentation with pedagogical methods is a priority. Please do not hesitate to give me feedback.

Thriller Thursday - The Evidentia Webinar Post I Didn't Think Would Happen
4 comments:
I enjoyed the webinar thanks so much for your efforts. Haven't started on the homework yet. Eeek. Do you plan to run every claim through Evidentia or just the tricky ones?ReplyDelete
I haven't decided whether to do only my more complicated lines or all of them. I'm leaning toward all. Yes, it's a ton of work. But the result will be a GPS solid family tree. I may not be able to make any leaves, but maybe I can make the trunk strong.ReplyDelete
Thanks for reading and commenting...I really appreciate it.
Laura, thank you for presenting the Evidentia webinar with DearMYRTLE. I've begun working on my homework and have a question: After creating my first source (a 1915 New York State Census record) I don't know what to put in the "Citation Title" field. It automatically fills with " - Citation 1" and the Citation field is filled with the citation created in the previous step. Is the Citation Title simply a reference for me to use personally, or is it intended to have a different use? Thanks for any help you can provide.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Doug,Delete
Great question! Sorry I didn't cover that. As with the Source title, the Citation title is for your purposes only. Just be aware that for whatever naming convention you choose, there is an 80 character limit (although, you'll probably want something shorter than that.)
Hope this helps!!

There is currently no available "Beginner" label. The following is the default level label: This hat was worn by Brigadier General Frederick E. Pierce (1862-1953), a general of the 2nd Massachusetts Infantry. The 2nd Massachusetts was a unit of the state militia. Pierce joined Company L, based in Greenfield, Massachusetts, soon after its formation in 1886. The state militia system was similar in many ways to that used by the British from their first settlement of America. Its shortcomings became apparent during World War I, when poorly-trained militia troops had to be integrated into the regular U.S. Army. During the war, the militia was converted into the National Guard, in an effort to professionalize these "citizen soldiers." Pierce served in the 2nd Massachusetts from 1886 to 1911, when he retired as a Major General.

Review - Much Ado About Nothing
By Zoe Apostolides
The Courtyard Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon
Until 15 September
Noël Coward Theatre, London
24 September - 27 October
What's immediately obvious, as one steps into the Courtyard's foyer, is the bustle and energy so important to a play which pivots upon the effects of eavesdropping, rumour, and - as suggested by the title - 'noting' that which is so often misheard or misunderstood. Making my way through to the stalls, I caught snippets of conversation, lines of speech, all removed from their context and therefore meaningless to me, and was brought back to this experience time and again as it was mirrored on the stage. The blare of car-horns, the screech of wheels, and the shouts of street-sellers welcome audiences into a chaotic vibrancy which challenges us to attempt to drown it out or to ignore it. The cast directly calls its audience to witness, constructing the set amidst the incoherent chitchat before the action, as it were, has even begun. The RSC have transplanted modern-day Delhi onto its boards as neatly as the characters in Shakespeare's play transform the inconsequential into life-changing dramas, and boy, is it worth the journey.
Wary of focussing exclusively on Tom Piper's set design, I will admit it did initially make me a little suspicious of elaborate attempts to hide inadequacies within the production itself and, for the most part, such fears were completely unnecessary. Iqbal Khan's interpretation bubbles over with life, hysterically hyperbolic yet managing to convey and retain the quieter subtleties of the text. As with Two Gents and As You Like It, Much Ado is a comedy which leaves much forebodingly unanswered: as the two pairs of lovers walk happily into the sunset, the tears and troubles of three short scenes ago clamour for attention, and Khan insists we recognise such ambiguities within Shakespeare's text.
Amara Karan was a particularly impressive Hero, bringing forth the character's inevitable obedience and submission, yet also her outspoken and eager nature - a novel exploration. Karan manages to embody the problems of engineered love and the necessity for female chastity, which make this particular play so fitted to its setting. Paul Bhattacharjee also works well as the lad-about-town Benedick, shunning society's compulsion to find him a suitable bride whilst hinting that he is, in fact, all too aware that his beloved is right before his eyes. Beatrice has no such insight: Meera Syal works fantastically as a sort of Indian Emma Woodhouse, a formidable sasstress whose banter seems set to tip over into insult at every pacy exchange with Bhattacharjee. Syal brings to Beatrice - undeniably one of the most difficult Shakespearean roles - a thoughtfulness and interiority; her claim that "there was a star danced, and under that was I born", seems at odds with moments in which this vivacity was lost to Hero's dilemma which, though it may be given more textual time is much more a sub-plot to the passionate B'n'B fusion we're all waiting for. The deepening of this most central relationship is nonetheless affectionately portrayed as the couple swing from the branch of a tree entwined with cables and electrical wires, spinning themselves deeper into the net that eventually enmeshes the entire cast.
My only real criticism of the production stems from a very occasional clumsiness through over-emphasised puns or gestures; there's a sense that with each production the company as a whole will jel more fluidly. Many critics have similarly complained of the play's lengthy second half (the whole running at three hours and fifteen minutes), and yet the directorial decision to leave the text unedited reflects the very nature of Much Ado itself: a complete refusal to find resolution, and a tedious portrayal of, to borrow from the novelist Donna Tartt, 'the extravagance of tricks'. This not a comfortable work, it is as awkward in execution as it is in content, and it relies on the complicity of discomfort in its audience. The courtship of Hero and Claudius has been marred by false accusation, and the final scene offers only the glimmers of a relationship enjoyed by Beatrice and Benedick. Such contrasts are wonderfully elicited by the frequent musical interludes from the on-stage live band, setting a pitch-perfect mood of jubilation or menace: whichever is called for.

Ducks grab series lead with OT win
Anaheim, CA – Nick Bonino buried the game winner 1:54 into overtime, as the Anaheim Ducks downed the Detroit Red Wings, 3-2, in Game 5 of this Western Conference quarterfinal series from Honda Center.
Ben Lovejoy set up Bonino's deciding goal, as the Anaheim defenseman carried the puck below the Detroit goal line and worked around a defender before sliding a backhand pass through the crease to the low left side, where Bonino pounded in a one-timer to give Anaheim a 3-2 series lead.
"He's a heck of a competitor," Anaheim coach Bruce Boudreau said of Bonino. "I'm happy it was our turn tonight to win in overtime. Nick was in the right spot at the right time."
Ryan Getzlaf and Kyle Palmieri each scored once in regulation, while Jonas Hiller posted 29 saves for the Ducks, who will look to wrap up the series in Detroit on Friday.
"This is huge. You dream about it as a kid," Bonino said. "Hiller was awesome and the guys responded well all night."
Mikael Samuelsson and Johan Franzen registered a goal apiece in the setback, with Jimmy Howard stopping 31-of-34 shots for Detroit, which had won the previous two overtime games in this series.
"We hit three posts tonight and they didn't go in," Detroit coach Mike Babcock lamented. "That's life."
Detroit struck first while on the power play just under 5 1/2 minutes in when Franzen threw a centering feed in front from behind the net that deflected off the skate of Ducks defenseman Sheldon Souray and slipped past Hiller to give the Red Wings a 1-0 lead.
Anaheim found the equalizer late in the opening stanza, as the Ducks won an offensive zone faceoff and Palmieri recovered the puck in the high slot before wheeling around a rifling a shot past Howard to tie the game with 2:19 left.
The Red Wings again pulled in front just past the midpoint of the second when Henrik Zetterberg's shot from above the left circle was kicked away by Hiller, but Samuelsson was there to bury the long rebound for a 2-1 lead at 10:08.
Anaheim answered with another late goal, as Getzlaf skated into the Detroit zone and ripped a wrister from between the circles that sailed high over the blocker side of Howard to knot the game with 31.8 ticks left in the frame.
The Ducks appeared to take the lead eight minutes into the third when Palmieri crashed the net and forced the puck under the pads of Howard, but the goal was immediately waved off, as the referees ruled Palmieri pushed Howard across the goal line with the puck.
Other than that, neither netminder was tested much in the third, with Howard stopping six shots and Hiller turning away five to force overtime.
Game Notes
This is the sixth playoff meeting between the Red Wings and Ducks, who met five times in the postseason from 1997-2009. Detroit has won three of the five series and beat Anaheim in seven games when the clubs last met in the 2009 conference semifinals ... Red Wings forward Justin Abdelkader served the final part of his two-game suspension for his high hit on Ducks defenseman Toni Lydman in Game 3 ... Both teams finished 1-for-3 on the power play ...Bonino's goal was his third of the series ... The Red Wings were eliminated in the first round of the playoff last season in five games by Nashville.

PSB Alpha PS1
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
Very impressed with all of the nuances that are heard from PSB Alpha PS1Speakers. I am running them through an amp/dac, which in my opinion is a must scenario if you are using a computer. There is plenty of power behind them to fill a moderate size room with any level you want to hear. Loudness isn't needed to hear all the nuances. You will here nice smooth /crisp highs along with a decent tight bass for the size of the driving speakers. I would suggest buying the whole system with the sub. I will be purchasing this soon. The body of the music, in my opinion will be more full.
Pros: All the nuances that the artist wanted you to hear will be there. Attractive cabinets you will be proud to display and are just the correct size to not be obtrusive.
Cons: Bass response could be a little more present and full. Adding the sub should just polish off the sound.

Changes to 2010 Forms
Updates to the 3805Z Booklet on 01/20/2011—Enterprise Zone Business Booklet
We replaced text on the 3805Z Booklet on Page 17, Column 3, Section C - Computation of NOL Carryover and Carryover Limitations - Individuals, Exempt Trusts, and Corporations, paragraph 3.
Previous Version
Individuals use your adjusted gross income modified for California law without regard to your NOL deduction (Forms 540/540NR, Line 17 plus the NOL deduction listed on Schedule CA (540/540NR) Column B, lines 21d and 21e) to determine modified AGI.
Revised Version
Individuals use the amount shown on your federal tax return for the same taxable year without regard to the federal NOL deduction (540/540NR, Line 13, plus the federal NOL deduction listed on Schedule CA (540/540NR) column C, line 21c).
Reason for the changes
The definition for modified AGI was changed from using CA AGI to using the federal AGI.
Tax liability could either increase or decrease depending on the CA adjustments.

There is so much controversy around food and how we should eat to be healthy that it tend it gets confusing. It seems as though we are all supposed to eat the same way. But which is that? Should we be vegan? Vegetarian? Paleo? Gluten free? Fat free? Or Raw? I think it is very personal and has a lot to do with us as individuals. How we were brought up, our blood types, our heritage, what season we are in and the kind of climate we consistently live in. Someone may end up being vegan because that makes him or her feel healthy and strong, while another person has to eat meat and a Paleo diet is the way to go for them. The discovery of what works for you is key.
One thing is certain, we all have the right to eat well (meaning as healthily as possible with the highest quality ingredients) and we all have an obligation to eat consciously. Eating consciously means eating humanely, (pastured, raised organic, etc.) and locally as much as possible. This blog is not going to solve all your eating dilemmas but what it will do is help you to find a system of eating that works for you.
Here are a few things about me that I needed to know in order to eat right. I am of European heritage and that diet mainly consists of meat, potatoes, root vegetables, etc. Yet my blood type is A, which means I am prone to be satisfied on more of a vegetarian type diet. I know now that eating animal protein for me is something that I need on occasion but not nearly as often as Bobby or someone else. Plus, I have never felt good eating regular potatoes though I am fine with sweet potatoes. I looked at my childhood growing up in Ketchum, Idaho and focused on times I felt the best physically and it was when I ate salads from our garden, fish that my father had caught in the stream behind our house or game he had hunted. Now I eat meat (pasture raised, humanely raised buffalo occasionally) and eggs from our own chickens and poultry from a local farmer whom we know well and whose birds are truly free range. When we go out to dinner and the proteins are not humanely raised, then we will choose not eat them. I also eat fish, trout mostly, (which I loved as a kid), but only wild caught and local trout while back in Idaho during the summer. I do not do well on grains and tend towards mostly a Paleo type diet. I do eat dairy, but I make sure it is raw, organic and usually only yogurt and butter. I do not eat sugar or drink alcohol because I know that I have a slightly addictive personality (a genetic trait) and am best to stay away from foods that can make me obsessive. I eat some fruit, mostly berries and apples but during the winter months I eat more oranges, as I need the vitamin C. In the morning I will drink coffee with pasture raised, raw butter and coconut oil in it to take away the acid, while in the afternoon I will drink green tea. I like to get as many vitamins from my food rather than supplements though I do take some. I take liquid plant based minerals, iodine, vitamin D and a supplement for the brain called EHT (which a company called Nerium makes…I like anything to do with enhancing brain productivity and EHT is extraordinary). And, of course, drink copious amounts of alkaline water throughout the day.
Remember; don't let anyone tell you what is best for you. Let your intuition, your life history and personal exploration guide the way to the best food for YOU.
"Let food be thy medicine and Medicine be thy food" Food helps our bodies repair and heal.
"Earn your food" We human beings are designed as hunters and gatherers. Because most food is readily available, we now replace hunting and gathering with exercise and movement in order to earn your food.
"You are what you eat." It is simply the truth. If you eat poor quality food you will have poor quality energy and health. Healthy eating is the key to well being.
EATING! This something that is always changing and evolving. No two people eat the same nor should they. The information that goes into the equation of eating food for an individual is astounding. Like Mariel mentioned above; culture, environment, heritage, activity, climate, blood type, genetics, and lifestyle all play a part in what we eat. Here are my simple philosophies on the subject of food.
We have are our immediate senses, our eyes (see), nose (smell), mouth (taste), mind (think), stomach (feel). Depending on our lifestyle these senses are always changing and affected by our surroundings. Where we work? When and if we exercise? What we think? How we feel? Do not be fooled by ads, diets or fads. There is no better eating practice out there than the powerful combination of intuition and mindfulness. We are all given the ability to eat when we are hungry and stop when we are full, just like every other animal. Improve your knowledge and awareness and you will begin to understand what your body needs.
There are 100 trillion cells in our body; each demanding daily nutrients in order to function optimally and food affects all those cells. The nutritional content of what we eat everyday determines the composition of our cell membranes, blood, hormones, bones, hair, skin, and teeth. Consider that the average adult loses about 300 billion cells to activity, aging and lifestyle everyday and those cells must be replaced. Our body's cells are produced out of the food that we eat!
How long do you choose to live? Age is just a number, right? Why not choose a higher number? Rather than retire at 65 and pass on at 75 choose a higher number. I believe its possible to live over 200 years. Not living as old tired and sick, but being healthy, strong and vibrant. Why not turn cartwheels at 100?
If what we put in is what we get out, then the more powerful our food is the more efficiently we regenerate and the more powerful we become! The result is a longer, healthier and better quality of life. Mariel and I are 53 and 54 years old and are closer to looking and feeling half our age largely because of the choices we make in how we eat.
Food: For me it's a combination of raw, live, cooked and sprouted foods that are clean and powerful. I also drink fresh juices, lots of water and add in extra herbs and supplements to fit my body's needs each day. These nutrients are, again, are always changing and evolving depending on what I do everyday, (exercise, work, rest or play).
1.What is your heritage and how did your ancestors eat?
2. What is your blood type? A's and B's tend to slant towards more of a vegetarian diet. Although I eat meat, I eat 70% plant based foods. O's tend towards needing meat, especially red meat more often than other blood types.
3. How did you eat as a child, when you had the most energy and your brain was most focused? Don't count the junk food binging done as a teenager but think of how you felt best when your mom or dad (or whomever) made a good home made meal.
4.Eat locally… go to farmers markets
5. Buy organic as much as possible. If you think it is too expensive then cut out the amount of coffee drinks you buy on a daily basis and use that extra cash for organic fruits and vegetables.

Bubble Wrap Printmaking: Ocean Scene
The Frog Princess got the idea for this project
while we were making our
She asked for some blue and purple paint,
and printed some bubble wrap onto white paper.
Then, she wanted to add fish to her ocean scene,
and asked if we have any fish stamps.
Then I said, "no, but we can make some!"
I folded scraps of cardboard
from our recycling bin
into rectangles and we added
stick-on craft foam fish
I folded the cardboard back
to make handles
and stapled the card board.
I love this picture,
I think she did a great job on it.
Check out the
coral and sea snails
she added with my skinny brushes!
If I was still teaching art,
I would do this as a printmaking lesson
with some Eric Carle books
in a heart beat.

PozLyfe09: Raw Talk on Life With HIV
One Night
September 8, 2014
One night of pleasure led to years of pain to follow. One night of hot sex in that Motel 6 in Maryland. That one time that I took those shots, and let my clothes fly all over. That one night I put on a show! Two other people sat in the double-bed room of that motel, watching my boyfriend and I give them their life.
24-Year-Old Former Porn Model Given an AIDS Diagnosis
April 8, 2014
So I'm doing my usual Facebook searching, and came across a very interesting video of a former porn model who, at 24 years old, was diagnosed with AIDS. Justin Washington, more publicly known as Snow Bunni, recorded a video for The Luckey Star Blog of himself in a hospital bed discussing his recent diagnosis, briefly explaining who he was, and very briefly touching on how the party lifestyle took him over.
Your Status Does Not Determine Your Destiny
May 3, 2013
Since my diagnosis in 2009 I've encountered many other people whose lives have changed post diagnosis. Many of them were not changes for the good. Many had lost hope, given up on dreams, and just no longer had a drive to do the things that made them happy once before. I would like for every one of those people to know that YOUR STATUS DOES NOT DETERMINE YOUR DESTINY.
Breaking the Silence on My Struggle With HIV Meds
March 5, 2013
It has been over a year since I have written a blog. Why should I? What allows me to sit here and continue writing about life with HIV when I face so many struggles every day? No one wants to hear about my crap, right? Everyone wants to hear me tell my peers to take their meds and be safe right? How can I tell anyone to take meds and to take care of themselves when I have been struggling with it myself? Who am I to tell someone to be med compliant when I have built a resistance against Atripla because of my own foolishness?
Gift Givers
November 1, 2011
I have been asked many times about my having engaged in unprotected sex in order to conceive a child. While this may be frowned upon because of my HIV-positive status, having unprotected sex is still a reality for many HIV-positive and HIV-negative people. But I do not intend on trying to infect anyone with the virus, because I am not a "gift giver." A gift giver is an HIV-positive person who seeks out to infect others with HIV.
Why Are Teenagers Not Using Condoms?
October 20, 2011
During my training to become certified to administer the Rapid HIV Test here in Michigan I was given a homework assignment. The assignment was to go condom shopping. Not to actually buy the condoms, but to become familiar with different stores and the locations that they kept their condoms and the different types that were available.
Conceiving a Child While HIV Positive
September 23, 2011
Let me first start by saying that if used properly, condoms are a very effective way to prevent pregnancy, and the spread of STDs and HIV. Although I discuss engaging in raw sex, I am not against the use of condoms; neither am I advocating for their use. My stance is to educate yourself, know all the risk, open discussion with your partner, then make your educated decision. I was successful in conceiving a child while HIV positive without transmitting the virus. This may not be the case for everyone. My suggestion is to speak with your doctor (along with your partner) and discuss the facts with him/her.
A Bisexual, HIV-Positive, Single Father of Five
August 13, 2011
My name is Jermaine Wright and I am a bisexual, HIV-positive, single father of five. If that's not a jaw dropper for ya, I had one of my children while being HIV positive. Here is how it started ...
Testing Day
August 10, 2011
November 2, 2009 I went to the clinic in Baltimore, MD, and got an HIV test, which came back positive. After speaking with the case worker I left with two of my friends, and the whole time all I could think about was my boyfriend. I had gotten into a relationship with him August 16th of that same year and we had probably only used a condom on one occasion. From listening to the rumors that had caused me to get tested in the first place, I had narrowed down the timeframe that I could have contracted it. So the thoughts of passing the virus to someone else echoed in my head the whole ride home.
Everything That Glitters Ain't Gold
July 26, 2011
In June 2009 I got into a relationship with a guy that I met at the club. There was a crowd of people around him and I thought he was cute, so in my head I was thinking "I'm going to get him." A friend of mine told me that he was a porn star but I didn't believe him, so I would joke with the guy I was talking to at the time, telling him that maybe we could make a video together.
PozLyfe09: Raw Talk on Life With HIV
Jermaine Wright
Jermaine Wright is a young, black, bisexual father of five who is also living with HIV. Following a period of service in the Army he is now at the Community AIDS Resource and Education Services of Southwest Michigan (CARES) where he promotes Mr. Friendly, a prevention tool used to raise awareness of the stigma associated with HIV. His mission is to reach out to other young black people living with HIV in a safe manner via his YouTube channel, PozLyfe09. For many youth, this is the only place they can go to discuss and share about living with HIV with someone who is open about his status and sexuality. Topics of his videos include: disclosure, dating, fathering a child post HIV diagnosis, passing on the virus, barebacking while HIV positive and more.
Speaking engagements: Jermaine Wright is available to speak to groups. Contact Jermaine about speaking at your organization or event!

Although that sounds like a good goal, and for some individuals it may be, I think they may be confused about the true goal. To me the true goal is to delay or defer the terrible complications of diabetes for as long as possible; preferably to a date about ten years after I die in my sleep as a very old man.
I do not fear medications. If medications are needed to achieve my true goal I will take them. I added metformin a few years back for that reason. However, and it is a very important however, I will use them if, and only if, reasonable application of diet and exercise cannot achieve the desired result. There is an enormous difference between fearing medications and having a healthy and informed respect for the full implications of adding drugs to our bodies.
In my opinion medications should be used to complement a healthy lifestyle, not to attempt to compensate for an unhealthy lifestyle. If the diabetic's circumstances are such that further changes in lifestyle are unreasonable, impossible or not capable of producing the same benefits as medication, then medications are appropriate and valuable. But, if that is not the case, medications may be adding to their problems instead of solving them. Nor am I in favour of prophylactic medication, prescribed because some study somewhere showed a statistical benefit for some people. I'm interested in the effects on me as an individual, not a percentage of a study group who may or may not represent me.
There are no side-effects-free medications. As with all things in life a risks-benefit analysis is needed when considering adding medications or insulin.
I am unapologetically selfish about testing of new drugs. When new medications appear, often with lots of fanfare and research papers supported by the manufacturer of the new wonder drug, I have decided to wait for a decade or two of human experience before I will add that to my regimen. I will let others be the human guinea pigs over that period unless there is an urgent need that no other course of action can meet. Selfish? True. But sensible.
The history of many drugs makes salutary reading. First the euphoria, then the glowing reports, then the doubts, then the reaction. Some recent relevant cases for the drugs commonly prescribed for type 2s include the statins, Byetta, Avandia, Actos and even insulin. All may be beneficial to a large number but have significant risks for minority. The difficulty is knowing whether you are in the majority or the minority in advance. Nothing is risk-free.
Medications should not be feared. They are a valuable tool for us - but they should be respected and used only when needed.
Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia.

I love it! It's all I can say
Thanks a lot
i love this! its great for my education and i love english
i agree with luke.
A monumental digital achievement of a monumental work of scholarship. Thank you, thank you for bringing Dr. Johnson's words and intellect to life.
Is there any way to get to a specif word (not on your list) in the page view for a letter? Or must one go page by page until the desired entry appears? A bit tedious this . . .
Advice welcome
OCR does not handle 18th century texts very well yet, so unfortunately, until all of the entries are transcribed and linked to their pages, the quickest way to jump to a specific word is to use the drop-down boxes at the top of the "Page View" pages. For example, if you want "nubiferous" (which has not been transcribed yet), you would go to Page View and select "N" from the first drop-down box. This would fill the second drop-down box with a list of the pages in "N," and you would scroll down to the one that says "Now – Null" and hit the "Go" button, since "nubiferous" should fall between those (not a guarantee, however, since Johnson doesn't always perfectly follow alphabetical order). This would take you to the right page, where you would find "nubiferous" in the right-hand column about mid-page.
Discard my earlier comment on 'completely' having been misspelled as 'compleatly'. I have read it in page view and have seen that the transcription of 'compleatly' is correct. I didn't know that word as the archaic of 'complete'. We learn everyday, don't we?
Thanks once again.
i love this webpage
Fantastic resource. Thanks Brandi
Oh, my goodness, this is absolutely delightful! I have enjoyed reading this. This will be most useful in my 18th Century novel "Fruit of Forbidden Love". I had constantly wondered the words used during those days…and this helps tremendously! …And it's preserved digitally as well. Huzzah! I immensely thank you.
Thank you so much for doing this – a most helpful resource!
I have been using ABBYY FineReader 10 which is the older version of their current version 11. It has a "training" mode that permits interactive adjustments of the scanned character and interpretation of that letter. It even supports new ligatures so it is very versatile. Their website is: http://www.abbyy.com/
I use the PRO version so I would seek that as it seems to be more powerful. You might contact them to get advice on using their product for this special project. It could open up OCR for all kind of old works.
Thank you, For your hard work to bring this dictionary to the masses. In my research I can now feel comfortable in understanding the meaning of words from this time period.
Is pdf version avaliable? I really want one for off-line use.
Not currently. Offline versions will be considered after the entire dictionary has been transcribed and thoroughly proofread.
Thank you for letting me know and look forward to your work with admiration. I'm in Asia and the internet is sometimes slow, that why I look for a offline version. Thank you and I'll wait.

Connectors for use in harsh environments
We like to talk of "harsh environments" when we want to use a single, handy term to refer to the properties of certain components or even measuring devices. But what are "harsh environments"?
There is no clear answer, because many factors can be "harsh" and require the use of specially protected components or devices:
- Moisture, fog, spray water, water jets, salt water
- Vibration, shock/shock load, pressure, bending stress, tensile strain
- High or low temperatures; frequent or abrupt temperature change
- Mechanical stress on the surface, abrasion
- UV light or other radiation
- Gases, explosive environments, chemicals
Components that offer special protection against these influences are given the title "for harsh environments".
Optimised for the application
Connectors for harsh environments are required in all areas of industry, mechanical engineering, automotive engineering and agricultural machinery construction. However, it makes no sense to build connectors that are equally resistant to all of the effects named above. There is no "single" connector for harsh environments, just as there is no "single" harsh environment.
The popular connector: Amphenol Eco|mate C16
This connector is mainly used in mechanical and plant engineering and drive technology. Easy and quick assembly makes the Eco|mate series, which can handle up to 16 A, an attractive choice.
Ethernet connector IP66/IP68/IP69K Buccaneer® 6000
The highest protection rating of IP68/IP69K is required when working with high-pressure cleaners, as in the food industry. In such environments, RJ45 connectors from the Buccaneer® 6000 series provide the necessary operational safety in the Industrial Ethernet.
Watertight D-SUB connector Deltron IP68
Machines and equipment that are regularly exposed to dirt, dust and fluids need a robust enclosure, whether indoors or outdoors. The Deltron waterproof series IP68 is suitable for use in harsh environments.
The outdoor specialist: the Souriau UTS series
Dynamic loads under water are a challenge for any connector. Connections with Trim Trio UTS pass this endurance test. They are harmed neither by permanent sunlight nor severe temperature changes. This is why the UTS series that can handle up to 16 A is particularly well-suited to outdoor applications. A 120° rotation is sufficient and the interlock engages audibly.
Signal connector M23 — with EMC protection and IP67
When it comes to frequency converters or other powerful electromagnetic fields, signal lines must be EMC-protected. If moisture causes the load to increase, an EMC-safe connector with protection rating IP67 or higher is required. The M23 EMC series from Hummel can be used here, for example. The full metal enclosure offers 100% protection against electromagnetic radiation and has a waterproof screw fitting.
The connector for rough work! Binder HEC696
Very high requirements are placed on connectors in the fields of agriculture, environmental and process engineering, as well as in construction, transport and signal technology. Besides moisture and vibration, the components must also be resistant to long-term UV radiation, ozone, salt fog and dirt. The new HEC 696 series from Binder more than meets these demands.

SANFORD, Fla. - Graphic pictures of Trayvon Martin's body were shown to jurors on Tuesday in the second-degree murder trial for former neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman, who is charged with shooting and killing 17-year-old Martin.
[Chat recap with Tony Pipitone from the courtroom]
Prosecutors showed pictures of Martin's body at the crime scene as Martin's father, Tracy, left the courtroom. Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton, looked away as pictures were shown of Martin's body lying face up in the grass and eventually left the courtroom. The jury had no visible reaction.

The state showed the pictures from the night of the Feb. 2012 shooting during questioning their fourth witness-- Sanford Police Sgt. Anthony Raimondo Jr.
Raimondo responded to the shooting scene and found Martin face down with his hands underneath his body.
"Mr. Martin was lying face down with his head oriented generally towards the north and his hands underneath his body, sir," Raimondo said.
Raimondo said he attempted CPR with safety mask due to the extraordinary circumstance and attempted to seal Martin's bullet wound with a plastic bag. He described hearing bubbling sounds from Martin's chest moments after the shooting.
Martin was pronounced dead a short time later.
In cross-examination, Zimmerman attorney and former Local 6 legal analyst Mark O'Mara showed the pictures again and asked how long Martin's body was exposed to the rain before it was covered up. Raimondo estimated about 15 minutes.
The defense has suggested rain water may have washed blood evidence off Martin's hands before police covered his body. Raimondo described the weather as "drizzling."
Following Raimondo's testimony, the state called Sanford Police Department crime scene technician Diane Smith.
State attorney John Guy questioned Smith about the conditions of the crime scene and the types of photographs she took at the scene.
Smith got up from the witness stand and showed jurors on a large poster board where items were found at the crime scene with evidence markers. Pictures from the crime scene were shown correlating to the markers on the board.
Fulton returned to the courtroom as crime scene photos and items found on Martin, such as the Arizona drink and Skittles Martin bought at the 7-Eleven, along with his cellphone, were put into evidence. Jurors also saw the semiautomatic handgun Zimmerman used to shoot and kill Martin.
Defense attorney Don West cross-examined Smith, asking her about her husband, who is also a police officer with SPD. He also questioned Smith about the location of Martin's body. Smith said it was moved before the pictures were taken.
West then showed pictures of Zimmerman's injuries and had Smith point out "blood dripping" from Zimmerman's head nearly four hours after encounter with Martin.
The state then called their eighth witness overall-- Selene Bahadoor, an IT analyst for a hospital who lived in the Retreat at Twin Lakes with her sister and niece at the time of the shooting. Prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda questioned his first witness of the trial as Bahadoor said she heard "no" or "ew" coming from her backyard and someone running from south to north toward the path.
Bahadoor said she looked out of the window and didn't see anything so she looked out of her sliding glass door, where she saw two figures and arms flailing. Bahadoor said she saw someone laying in the grass and heard someone come out onto a porch nearby asking the two figures "if he needed to call the cops." She said she recalled the body in the grass being face down when she first saw it seconds after the shooting.
Bahadoor saying she heard running is the first direct evidence to cast doubt on Zimmerman's claim he was "suckerpunched" walking close to the "T" in path at the condo complex.
In cross-examination, O'Mara asked if Bahadoor reviewed her transcript or her testimony with the state before testifying on Tuesday.
"Who was the last person you spoke to about your testimony today?" O'Mara asked, to which Bahadoor said state attorney TC Osteen last Thursday. Bahadoor said she read her transcript of her interview with SPD on her own and can't remember if she said the running noise went from south to north in her interview with police.
"Could this be the first time you mentioned this piece of evidence (running noise from south to north) was today?" O'Mara asked.
"Could be," Bahadoor responded, reading through her deposition and not finding the phrase in her statements to law enforcement.
O'Mara then asked Bahadoor about why she "liked" a "Justice for Trayvon Martin" Facebook page and not a Zimmerman Facebook page. Bahadoor said she has sympathy for both Martin and Zimmerman's families but "the opportunity didn't present itself" for her to "like" a Zimmerman page on Facebook.
In redirect, de la Rionda asked Bahadoor if investigators or the defense team in their deposition asked her specifically which direction she heard running, to which Bahadoor said no one had. De la Rionda asked Bahadoor if she wanted to be on national TV to which she said no.
O'Mara then brought up how Bahadoor was interviewed by national news and Bahadoor said she was interviewed but it never aired. He also asked Bahadoor if she signed a an online petition calling for Zimmerman's arrest and confirmed with her that it was her Facebook account that she signed the petition with.
The court was then recessed for the day and will resume Wednesday at 9 a.m.
For their first witness on Tuesday, the state recalled Ramona Rumph, the Seminole County Communication Deputy Director, to authenticate the non-emergency call Zimmerman made the night of the shooting. She was called on Monday afternoon to discuss the previously made 911 calls Zimmerman made before the defense objected to having the jury listen to them and court recessed for the day.
The state's second witness was Wendy Dorival, accreditation manager of Sanford Police Department and Neighborhood Watch coordinator. Dorival had previously met with Zimmerman and the homeowner's association president regarding setting up a Neighborhood Watch program at the Retreat at Twin Lakes neighborhood.
Dorival was questioned about the program by Guy, who asked what they tell program participants about following people.
"We say 'don't do that'" Dorival said, adding that she tells program participants that it's the "job of law enforcement."
Dorival said Zimmerman told her his HOA asked him to be the Neighborhood Watch program coordinator. She said she tells program participants they are the "eyes and ears" and an "extension of law enforcement." Dorival said she tells volunteers they are "not the vigilante police," but not that they cannot defend themselves if attacked or carry a gun.
Dorival was cross-examined by defense attorney Don West, who asked her about the program presentation. Dorival said in Zimmerman's neighborhood was dealing with a "several burglaries" and had a good turnout at the meeting. Residents were concerned about the perimeter of property and inadequate lighting on the property, according to Dorival.
Dorival praised Zimmerman and said he declined her invitation to join the SPD "Citizens on Patrol" program.
"He was very professional. He seemed a little meek to me. And he just seemed like he really wanted to make changes in his community to make it better," she said.
West then discussed the email exchange between Zimmerman and Sanford police about the program, to which the state objected, calling it hearsay. Nelson ruled against the defense to keep the email out of evidence.
The state's third witness on Tuesday was Donald O'Brian, the homeowners association president in Zimmerman's neighborhood.
"George went to the police, he got this whole thing started, it was his program," O'Brian said when questioned by state attorney Richard Mantei. O'Brian said no one else wanted to be Neighborhood Watch coordinator, just Zimmerman, who volunteered to enforce parking rules.
O'Brian said the Neighborhood Watch program is separate from the HOA. He said there was a burglary suspect arrested a couple of months before the shooting after workers called 911. O'Brian informed Zimmerman by text message. In cross-examination, the defense asked O'Brian what the suspect description was, to which he answered a 17-18-year-old man who the workers followed to the suspect's home before calling police.
During state redirect, O'Brian said the Neighborhood Watch rule is "don't get close to anybody, stay at a safe distance and call 911."
Earlier Tuesday, prosecutors tried to introduce recordings of previous non-emergency calls he made to law enforcement to prove the former neighborhood watch leader is guilty of murder in the shooting death of Martin.
Mantei tried to convince Judge Debra Nelson in a hearing that a series of calls Zimmerman made to authorities about suspicious people in his Sanford neighborhood in the months before the shooting indicate his state of mind that night.
Mantei started his argument with the relevance the calls serve, saying it proves element of crime--depraved mind. The state said prior calls help disprove self-defense, showing an ongoing build-up of frustration by Zimmerman.
The state said motive and state of mind are classic jury questions. Mantei said the police did question "suspicious" persons in two of Zimmerman's prior calls and searched the suspicious persons' names for warrants but found none, so they were let go.
Zimmerman's attorney, former Local 6 legal analyst Mark O'Mara, argued that the state is trying to bring in circumstantial evidence and that the state has little or no evidence to support second-degree murder. O'Mara said the state is trying to get prior calls in trial to show ill will, hatred.
O'Mara said the state is asking the jury to make "quantum leap" from responsible calls to police to Zimmerman being "seething with anger," slipping in character evidence, which is inadmissible unless defense raises it.
Nelson asked O'Mara if comments in opening statements created an issue, but O'Mara said it didn't because opening statements aren't considered evidence. Nelson then asked if the Monday afternoon cross-examination of the 911 dispatcher being asked how he thought Zimmerman reacted in the non-emergency call to authorities created an issue.
Mantei said the defense is using "bait and switch and a series of straw men" in its argument compared to Monday's relevance objection. Mantei said the calls show Zimmerman knows how to report suspicious people "and the frustration builds."
Mantei said the fact that Zimmerman said, "these (expletives) always get away," in the non-emergency call the night of the shooting makes the prior calls relevant. Mantei said it's not considered character evidence it shows the defendant's reaction to his experiences and why he did what he did when he was killed.
Nelson said she has 20 cases and testimony to review before she rules on the calls. The calls were played without the jury in the room and Nelson said she will rule on the calls at another time.
State attorney John Guy said in his opening statement that Zimmerman thought Martin was one of the "punks" who "always get away" whom he had observed previously in his neighborhood and reported the activity to police.
Defense attorneys objected to the introduction of the calls, saying they were being used in violation of evidence rules to show prior bad acts.
Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder in the death of Martin, who was 17 years old. Zimmerman has pleaded not guilty, claiming self-defense
