Ask anyone who the coolest, toughest, meanest, and most kick-butt superhero of them all is, and they will probably say... the Incredible Hulk. Not a surprise, that guy is awesome. However, right up there with the enormous green rage monster is the equally as awesome Frank Castle aka the Punisher. There is only one problem, he's not really a superhero... or is he?
There are probably plenty of people out there that are going to question some of the abilities below as "superpowered." However, how many non-superheroes do you know that can get shot a bajillion (actual number) times and live to kill another day?
Heck, if we can make lists on the superpowers you didn't know Iron Man or Captain America had, then doing the same for the Punisher should be a walk in the park... Coincidentally, this was where his family was shot by the mob, causing Frank to declare war on crime and become a one-man killing superhero machine. Since that fateful day he's trained himself with some crazy cool abilities, as well as been the recipient of the occasionally short-lived extraordinary skill now again and again.
Here are the 15 Superpowers You Never Knew The Punisher Had.
15 Superhuman Strength as Franken-Castle
Sometimes you get sliced into little pieces by the son of Wolverine and put back together by an underground commune of monsters so you can help in their war against a monster-hunting samurai. It's happened to the best of us. However, in the Punisher's case we also get some fun wordplay, hence Franken-Castle.
In Dark Reign: The List - Punisher #1, Norman Osborn orders Daken to kill Punisher, and boy does he ever. Literally slicing him to shreds it looks like it is finally the end of the road Castle. But then thanks to Morbious aka Marvel-Dracula picking up the remaining pieces and stitching them together with cybernetics, the Punisher is reborn as a monster.
In other words, Frank is turned into Frankenstein, if Frankenstein carried around a gatling gun and rode a giant dragon. As an added bonus, this version of the Punisher gains superhuman strength to an unknown degree. A deadly undead marksman with the physicality of Hulk? Now that's scary.
14 The Killing Powers of God
As we've noted from from Superman's mullet to Captain America's illogically massive chesticles, the '90s were a strange and bizarre time for superheroing. The muscles were bigger, the outfits skimpier, and the pouches... so many pouches. Not the Punisher though, he went through a far more ridiculous phase literally as the Angel of Vengeance.
In 1998 the character was in a bit of rut, so Marvel said screw it and turned Frank Castle into a hitman for heaven. As the story goes the Punisher has finally killed himself only to be brought back to life by his guardian angel and imbued with supernatural abilities, which mainly includes being able to materialize any weapon of his choosing from thin air, and getting a forehead tattoo.
He was also invincible on account of already being dead. If Punisher ever wanted to see his wife and kid again in the afterlife, he'd have to use these new superpowers to do the lord's work and kill a bunch of people. It's worse than it sounds, which ironically is also why it was so great.
13 Superhuman Durability
Fact: the Punisher has an unnatural ability to endure pain, suffering and getting shot in the head. While we're not talking Luke Cage durability, Frank Castle gets beaten within an inch of his life on the regular and always bounces back with in a way that can only be called super. A power drill through the foot? No problem. Being beat to a pulp by Barracuda? More please. Getting shot through the chest by Eminem? Just another day.
Sure, maybe the Punisher has merely conditioned himself to withstand extreme levels of pain. Normally when a human gets shot a bunch of times, they die, regardless of how many sit-ups they've done. Not the Punisher-- he seems to get off on it, and come back stronger than ever.
12 Invulnerability to the Penance Stare
Ghost Rider has some of the coolest superpowers, both known and unknown. By far his most powerful is the Penance Stare. By making eye contact the Rider can force someone to experience all the pain they've ever caused anyone while simultaneously reliving every painful memory they've ever had.
The end result is your eyeballs catching fire, insanity, death and, in some special cases, spontaneous combustion. To say the least it is not a pleasant experience. There are only a few in a existence immune to Ghost Rider's deadly glare, and Frank Castle is one of them.
You would think if anyone was to feel the repercussions of the Penance Stare it would be the Punisher. After all he has brutally killed millions of people in any number of excruciating ways. Remember, the time he shot Wolverine in the face and groin? You just know that had to hurt.
Yet amazingly the Punisher was unaffected when he locked eyes with Ghost Rider. Why? Because he feels no guilt for the suffering he's caused his victims. That's badass. Realize for a second that the Penance Stare once brought Galactus to his knees. It didn't even make the Punisher blink.
11 All of Captain America's Superpowers
Is Captain America a superhero? Of course he is, thanks to the super soldier serum running through his veins. What if Frank Castle was shot up with the same serum, would that also make him a superhero? You betcha, and then some.
In 1993's What If…? #51 the tables get turned, Steve Rogers becomes a cyborg and the mantle of Captain America gets bestowed upon Frank Castle for obvious reasons. This entails his being injected with the soldier serum and granted with all the superpowers that come with it.
Castle actually becomes Captain America a second time in another What If…? story (What If? Age of Ultron) and gets a modified more-powerful dose of the super soldier serum because why not. As expected, while in this role, he turns America even more awesome than it already is.
10 Super Hearing
Have you ever seen Punisher: War Zone? Hopefully not. It was awful. However, we have and just about the only thing we could make sense of from its blood bath of convolutedness was that Frank Castle can hear really well. Like really, really well. To call his sense of sound anything other than super-powered would be a straight up lie and give undue credit to a film that cannot possibly be any less discredited.
We're not saying that the Punisher has Daredevil-esque levels of ear power, but he is definitely very well prepared for whatever is coming around the corner, or on the other side of the door, or through that wall. Even the quietest of sneak attacks seem never to catch him off guard.
It's possible that he's so strung out that he's eternally in a state of readiness, but more than likely it's because his killer sense is tingling thanks to his super lobes picking up on nearby danger.
9 The Power to Spontaneously Grow Back Teeth
How many times can one man lose the same bicuspid? Ok, so this one isn't so much a superpower as it is an amazing ability that defies the laws of physiology. However, isn't that kind of the definition of a superpower? So yeah, spontaneously growing back teeth after they've been repeatedly punched out of your head does count.
Frank Castle has a reputation of surviving the worst of injuries. From broken bones, shots to the head, or sliced appendages, he has a knack for healing from it all. Call it luck. Call it a good healthcare plan. Whatever you call it, the dude's ability to survive is otherworldly. However, in Garth Ennis' Punisher Max series his regenerative skills reach a whole new level of super.
Practically every other issue the Punisher gets his teeth knocked out yet miraculously they seem to grow back every time. During the worst of beatings he is sometimes left with only one or two dangling from his head, then a few issues later he's got a mouth full of pristine pearly whites. If that's not super, we don't know what is. Who knew Punisher had a little Wolverine in him?
8 The Superpowers of Iron Man and War Machine
At one time or another it seems like the Punisher obtained the abilities of every Marvel superhero. In What If? #29 we yet again get another wonderful hypothetical on Captain America forming the original Avengers.
Obviously, he asked Frank Castle to be a part of it, and Frank Castle in turn wore an Iron Man suit. What's so great about this is that the writers don't even try to explain why the Punisher is now wearing a billion dollar mechanized armor that can fly and shoot laser beams. Reasons are overrated so why not just enjoy seeing Iron Punisher kill people.
You would think though that Castle would be better suited as War Machine. Marvel agreed, so that's why they also (in canon) gave the now deceased Colonel Rhodey's armor to Punisher. So now Frank has all of Iron Man's powers, two massive gatling guns on his shoulder and the ability to take down entire nations of bad guys. Seems about right.
7 Super Tech Care of All the Avengers
What happens when the Punisher gets ahold of the coolest gadgets and weaponry this side of Marvel? A super powerful killing extravaganza, that's what. In the first few issues of 2009's Punisher, Castle goes up against a mystical cloak-wearing sorcerer turned crime lord known as the Hood.
In order to defeat this supernatural foe and his goon squad, Punisher gets his hands on some old Avengers gear laying around a basement. In other words, Punisher Assemble!
Ant-Man's tech, Hawkeye's bow, Cap's shield, and what looks to be Iron Man's repulser gauntlet-- if you thought Earth's Mightiest Heroes were tough to beat, just imagine when all their super abilities are at the world's deadliest killer's disposal.
During one truly righteous moment from issue #5, Punisher sneaks into the bad guys hideout on a pizza. Shrunken down to size thanks to the Pym Particle, he gets eaten, chokes one goon from inside his throat and then while a second is trying to give the first mouth to mouth, blasts a hole through his head and materializes fully sized throwing out one liners like boss.
6 Ingenuity
Anyone can kill, but it takes a truly prophetic artist to murder people with the panache of Punisher. He is basically the Leonardo Da Vinci of homicide, only instead of painting portraits of women smiling, he paints the walls, ceilings and ground with people's blood.
Whether he is sending you to the moon by blowing you up with a nuclear bomb, throwing you into the mouth of a Great White Shark, or smothering you to death with a really fat man, the Punisher gets the job done as creatively as possible.
When you can take anything and ingeniously make it into a deadly weapon so that even MacGyver says WTF, then you know you have reached the pinnacle of bloodshed.
5 All of Venom's Superpowers
What's the fun in having all these great superheroes if you can't come up with crazy scenarios for them to play in? That's why we love the What If? series so much. One of our favorites came from 1992's What If? #44 which posed the question what if Frank Castle were Venom. Villainerys worst nightmare, that's what.
Really, it's the perfect pairing. The one thing Venom had been missing all these years was guns. Superhuman strength, shapeshifting, telepathy, and all of Spider-Man's abilities were just some of the superpowers now at Punisher's disposal thanks to Venom.
As the black suited menace, Frank Castle became an even more violent, powerful, and lethal version, instantly going on a rampage killing both Tombstone and Kingpin. Not surprisingly, Frank Castle soon after strong-armed the symbiote into submission so he was in complete control. S
At first the likes of Spider-Man and Daredevil tried to separate Venom and Punisher, but then realized he was just too awesome and figured it would be nice to have a crazy murderer on their side for once.
4 Immortality and All the Other Superpowers of the Bloodstone
The Bloodstone fragment was a mystical remnant of the previous universe that bestowed superhuman strength, superhuman durability, regenerative healing factor, psionic powers, and immortality to its possessor. To all of our delight, one of those was the Punisher.
Eventually, the Punisher became so overtaken by the powers of the Bloodstone that he became a one man Minority Report, able to see those who might commit a crime in the future. It was also the reason why he survived his fight with Daken and was able to be turned into Franken-Castle.
On top of everything else, this gem amplified Frank's rage to a frightening degree, which was why he eventually ripped it from his chest, realizing that the world just couldn't handle a Punisher with too many superpowers.
3 All of Dr. Strange's Superpowers
A whole lot of cool and awesome stuff happened during 2015's Secret Wars, but by far the most extreme was when an alternate universe Frank Castle became the Sorcerer Supreme-- and here you thought the Punisher couldn't get any more kick-butt.
Then again who could have imagined arming the world's deadliest vigilante with the superpowers of the universe's most powerful sorcerer and then giving him a pair of magic guns just for fun? Comics, that's who.
Dr. Strange possesses Frank Castle and decides to go for a stroll through the Marvelverse. Wolverine, Hulk, Ghost Rider, and Spider-Man are dispatched to stop him. With a snap of his finger Punisher turns Hulk back into Bruce Banner and vaporizers him to dust. Spider-Man gets a gut full of astral lead. Wolverine gets blow to smithereens with the Weapon of Watomb (a mystical hand grenade).
He then just as easily freezes the hellfire of Ghost Rider and blows him up by conjuring a magical bazooka. Pretty much able to do anything he wants at any moment to anyone he desires, there has probably never been a more deadly being than the Sorcerer Extreme.
2 2099 Future Tech
In an alternate universe during the year 2099, Jacob Gallows becomes the Punisher after finding Frank Castle's diary and reading about all the cool and awesome things he did in the past. Inspired to do the same, Gallows goes out and follows his mentors bloody example. Howeer, this being the future, New Age Punisher gets a sweet upgrade.
For starters, there's his eco-muscular undersuit that enhances his strength and agility to metahuman levels, and allows him to mimic any known form of martial arts on the spot. Then there's his High Density Heat Sink Plasto Armor, which includes a face-scrambler and impressive shoulder pads.
Finally, just for good measure, he has a cybernetic arm. Of course Punisher 2099, taking a cue from Frank, doesn't really need any of this fancy superpowered equipment to get the job done.
1 Hate
You might not think hate is a superpower, but we beg to differ-- just look at the Punisher. Following the death of his family, he has subsisted entirely on hate for years. Think about, have you ever seen Frank Castle eat? No, he doesn't need to.
Remember that time he killed the entire Marvel universe? Alternate reality or not, no mere mortal could take down all those superpowered beings without being fueled by a bowl full of Frosted Hate.
Hate is the Punisher's super soldier serum. It runs through his veins, pumps up his muscles and lets him do extraordinary things no mere mortal could hope to achieve. Like we said in the beginning, most would pick the Hulk as the coolest, toughest, meanest, most kickass superhero around.
However, if we're really being honest, the Jade Giant doesn't come close to the ginormous rage monster that is Frank Castle. Seriously, the guy once punched a polar bear in the face. The bear was so in awe of the Punisher's anger that he became Castle's pet. When even the animal kingdom can sense the unbridled energy of your hate, and respect its awesome power, then you know you're dealing with someone super.
Know of any powers that the Punisher has used to kill? Let us know in the comments.

Charles Pumphrey was a consultant cardiologist and head of cardiology at St George's Hospital, London. The son of John Laurence Pumphrey, a diplomat, and Jean Pumphrey, Charles was educated at Winchester College, where he was an exhibitioner, and Magdalen College, Oxford. As a child he was inspired by science and it is rumoured that he became fascinated by medicine after watching the early TV medical soap opera Emergency – Ward 10, set in the fictional Oxbridge General. When he did go up to Magdalen, he studied assiduously, often to the derision of his fellow students, who would return from nights out to see him still hard at work: on one occasion they hurled snowballs through his open window!
He was a cardiology registrar at the National Heart Hospital and, from 1981 to 1982, held a travelling fellowship to the Mayo Clinic. He was then a senior cardiology registrar at the London Hospital.
In 1985 St George's Hospital cardiology department was a relatively small unit in south west London, recently relocated from Hyde Park Corner. John Parker [Munk's Roll, Vol.XI, p.438], an eminent cardiac surgeon appointed to St George's in the late 1970s, was determined to see the department grow and modernise. Two new jobs were advertised, and Charles was appointed as a consultant cardiologist and head of cardiology. At that time the main emphasis of clinical cardiology was coronary artery disease, but whilst at Mayo and the London Hospital Charles had learned coronary intervention or percutaneous angioplasty. Both he and John Parker were also interested in cardiac electrophysiology, which was at the time an obscure but emerging sub-specialty.
In 1986 Charles appointed David Ward and subsequently secured the services of John Camm from St Bartholomew's. A new clinical cardiology department was born at St George's Hospital, and a new academic unit of cardiothoracic sciences was established in the medical school. The clinical and academic cardiology services expanded rapidly and today there are nine consultant clinicians and five professorial clinical academics. Charles was involved in many of these appointments and was instrumental in the development of St George's cardiology, both nationally and internationally.
His career straddled two eras. As a medical student he was trained in biochemistry, anatomy and the importance of patients as human beings (rather than medical labels). In those days, medical students wore three-piece suits, and hospital cleaners and visitors were not allowed into the ward when the consultant did his round. In the old era it was not uncommon to see Charles on a round with a large retinue of junior staff, students and often medical visitors from overseas. He came from an age before clinical governance, HR, the internal market, waiting time targets and the power of hospital administrators. However, when he was appointed clinical director in 1996 he oversaw, often reluctantly and not without comment, the introduction of all these changes and others to the practice of hospital medicine within the NHS. He lamented the demise of the old fashioned ward round. I remember him saying 'now I don't know who my SHO is'.
He frequently questioned current received wisdom. He would expostulate in the 'catheter conference' (another tradition that has passed), 'Why on earth did you do that?' followed by, 'This shows a complete lack of clinical judgment'. Thankfully, political correctness was not his strong suit, and he was perhaps at his most vitriolic when he felt appropriate patient care was at risk. He excelled at the withering look, usually peering over half-moon glasses – for example, when some youthful registrar suggested that all coronary intervention should be undertaken via the radial approach or when a junior (or senior!) manager refused his request to transfer a patient back to a St George's bed. In the end his outspoken views were the undoing of his precarious relationship with management, and he was removed as clinical director: they had lost patience with his continued incisive questioning of management decisions, which he felt could sometimes harm patients.
Another delightful aspect of Charles's unique personality was his absolute lack of pretension. He was determinedly English, unimpressed by glamour or the exotic for its own sake. He was unconcerned about whether his tastes in music, books, art, clothes etc, were fashionable or respectable. Despite being in great demand by patients from all parts of society, he eschewed the 'grandeur' of Harley Street, preferring to practice locally in south and west London. Pretension or 'bling' of any variety was not his thing. He drove an old Morris Minor until it would not start and then a succession of second-hand but practical cars. His vintage Aston Martin DB6 was his pride and joy, but it came out only once or twice a year and he usually rode a simple motor scooter to dash between one hospital and another. He treated several high profile patients, including African dictators, important political leaders and royals, including King Birendra of Nepal, who awarded Charles a medal, the Order of Gorkha Dakshin Bahu, second class! None of this was public knowledge.
Charles was a superb clinical teacher and trainer in the old school style and literally hundreds of medical students and trainees will be in his debt. He held a number of appointments in the British Cardiac Society and the London Deanery, and was a regional specialty adviser to the Royal College of Physicians. He was a great raconteur, very witty and frequently self-deprecating, but not everyone appreciated his wry sense of humour. Although he seemed intimidating to some, this was a façade. One of Charles's outstanding qualities was his innate honesty and integrity. His principles governed everything he did in his private and his professional life, and he had a moral certainty inherited direct from his parents. Charles was a talented doctor with a strong personality, who made a lasting impression on everyone who met him. Above all, he cared about his patients. One of his friends recalls that one day whilst on holiday in the Pyrenees, Charles began to receive a series of increasingly urgent phone calls about a sick patient back in London as he was gingerly edging across a severe cliff face. Immediately he switched mode and became businesslike, analytical and decisive. The patient survived.
He married Penelope in 1987 and they had three children, Kate, Oliver and David, all of whom survived him. Charles bore his painful illness with fortitude and dignity, coming into work only weeks before his death. He died peacefully in Trinity Hospice.

An Introduction to the World/Inferno–our first release, put out by Blue Ghost records, which was run out of a punk rock record store in Highland Park, NJ. Sound on Sound, it was called, kind of a Reconstruction records sequel, but back in Jersey so the kids could get on with their lives. Anyhoo, only 500 pressed they say. Side one is Tattoos Fade, the Inferno Call to Arms. We've tried re-recording this number a couple times, but nothing can compare to this almost archival version: the banging piano, the swung-over-the-head guitar, the drums–literally two kick drums mounted and battered with mallets, the Leslie organ–that alone is worth the price of admission. Oh that organ! As big as a piece of furniture, gently oscillating. Wonderful.
Side two is Nothing You Begin, which is really us trying to redo Velvet Goldmine, and is only remarkable for Zundel T'Kotch's appearance on drums. Love that continuity. Recorded at Times Square at Quad Studios by that lying son of a bitch and father to us all, Scott Hollingsworth. Oh, I should mention this was re-pressed as a split single in Germany on X-mist records, with our friends The Monochrome Collective.

"Promoting Lifelong Healthy Habits Through Design"
That was the theme for this 5th year of the Design Challenge at the Stanford Center on Longevity – and at the April 17th pitch day for the eight finalists, the first place winner was Ride Rite – a computer-integrated bicycle handlebar designed for older adults who have started to lose confidence in their ability to safely go on bike trips. The $10K top prize went to this student entry from Virginia Tech.
In previous years since 2013 in the Stanford Design Challenge, I picked in advance who I thought would be in the top three. As it turns again as with last year, two of my choices made it; second place going to Gesturecise, an AI-enabled desktop application, which detects body gestures and uses exercises as a screen unlock device, building physical activity into the workday. Third place, (which was my 2nd choice), went to Gather, a device that facilitates gardening for all ages and abilities and promotes social engagement for a happier and healthier lifestyle.
Here is the link to the complete rundown on the 2017/18 Design Challenge winners and finalists, sponsors and judges
Recognition of design and technology in the field of longevity is something to continue to pay attention to, even if a large number of the ideas, prototypes don't make it to market. So as I like to do every time this Stanford event takes place is to look back on which Design Challenge winners actually have had traction and gone on to make it into the everyday lives of consumers.
As I reported earlier this year, the good news is that Eat Well, a design by Sha Yao – the 1st place winner from 2013 is still going, and not only that – received a design award as one of the Top 25 Best Inventions of 2016. Available on Amazon, Eat Well is a tableware product initially designed to help people with Alzheimer's.
Third place Luna Lights from 2014 is well in business. Luna Lights solution consists of a bed pad, lights, and a monitoring system that reduces risk from falls. Its pressure pad automatically turns on small portable lights to guide the way to in home nighttime destinations to help reduce falls; and a monitoring system tracks how long and how often night-time trips are occurring.
From 2016, Rendever – a virtual reality product, which took the second place award, is now a top brand primarily used in elder care residences, helping people reconnect with memories, new and past experiences and as is promoted on the website as, "the best way to engage and connect your residents with the world outside your community." And I have to say, the Rendever web site should win an award to serve as an example of how to tell a crisp narrative with wonderful visuals and minimal text.
So bring on the 2018/19 Stanford Design Challenge.

In the future we would like to depend more on donations of the public we are working for. This way we have a better feedback about how much people actually want us to do what we do.
So yeah, in case you were wondering,
here is the button:
Trust is a rare commodity and we would like to appreciate yours as much as possible. We count on people to help us funding our project. This also means, that we owe these people total insight into how their contributions were used. Same goes for all our partner festivals and government officials. For this reason we would like to introduce to you the Glass Wallet.
In this section you will find ALL OUR BANK STATEMENTS on one side, all our expenses on the other. We will upload all documents on our quarterly turns and do our best to make it as easy as possible to connect the + and the -. Please use the feedback button to let us know if you find something out of the ordinary or would like to comment on any of our expenses. Naturally we only consider feedback from our supporters, so no trolling please!
Psyclean has always been funded by its founder, Viktor Balogh and the festivals we participated in.
In 2018 we launched our first crowdfunding campaign to realize our community tent, with great success.
In order to do so we have already started planning a device, which makes it possible for festivals to not provide ANY garbage to their visitors. It is a complex and expensive undertaking and if successful the first of its kind. The basic idea is to provide reusable plates, cups, cutlery and serviettes to the visitors, which we will wash every day in the CleanCube. The technical realization is very tricky, yet possible, so stay tuned for updates as we go forward.
to become a foundation is to realize our biggest dream: the garbage-free festival!

The 22nd May 2015, saw the sun rise on the day that Colette and James were married.
This was one wedding I had been looking forward to for aaages, having already had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of Colette's sister, Emily, back in August last year.
Louise, (Buttons Photography), and I had an absolutely fabulous time with this family last year, and I couldn't wait to see how they were all getting on.
On this occasion I was second shooting for Dan from DM Photography, so on the morning of the wedding, Dan dropped me off with the ladies, while he headed off to spend the morning with James and his Ushers. The house and gardens were once again looking lovely, as I headed upstairs to meet with Colette and her bridesmaids. It was a hive of activity from the moment I arrived, with people popping in and out, champage to be drunk and sentimental gifts to be opened.
The morning flew by, and before we knew it, everyone was ready for the big event.
Colette and James were married in a traditional ceremony at a beautiful local church, before James was handed the keys of the much loved, vintage Jaguar, to drive his new wife back to their reception at the family home in Fleet.
A perfectly timed break in the clouds allowed for a drinks reception in the garden, before everyone headed into the marquee for the wedding breakfast, a set of hilarious speeches and the all important cutting of the cake. A quick turnaround of the marquee and the dancing began!
Here are a selection of images from their day..

I think it is a reasonable statement to make that Texas is known for brisket. Brisket IS Texas barbecue and no one does it like Texans, right? Right. (As a shameless plug, it is a natural extension to say that no one does Texas Brisket like JBARH does, and certainly no one does it better.)
BUT, and this is a HUGE but, don't make the mistake of saying that Texans make THE BEST brisket, especially if there is a Jew within earshot! I made this assertion on a national catering forum and let me tell you…the retribution was swift, harsh and unrelenting. I was dog-piled by a number of good natured folks informing me that the Jewish people were making brisket thousands of years before Texans even learned to speak English. GENERATIONS of people were thrown at me to make this point, and like the true cowboy I am, I stuck to my guns…for a time. But as the great cowboy poet once said, you've got to know when to hold 'em and know when to fold 'em.
So, out of respect for the East Coast Mavens, I experimented with Jewish Brisket and found that there are, in fact, other ways to cook this challenging cut of beef. A slow braise works perfectly as this cut needs time and low heat to break up the hard working fibers.
The first recipe I came up with, (under advisement from my accusers) and have since served in my catering company at least 100 times, is my JBARH KINKY FRIEDMAN BRISKET. I call it that because Kinky is a Texas Jew that does things his own way and doesn't care. He is one of my heroes and I am honoring him by creating a Texas version of the venerable Jewish Brisket. This brisket is a little sweet & a little spicy and and a whole lotta fork tender & can be served over anything that will sop up the juices. (I suggest my JALAPENO CHEESE POLENTA)
The next recipe is an old standby JBARH BEEF TIPS. This is a hunting camp recipe that has been in my box since I started cooking. You can pretty much take any cut of beef for this recipe and, if given enough time, it will turn out delicious and perfect. I like to use brisket because of it's beefy flavor and texture and because it is CHEAP. With prices in Texas ranging from $1.50 per pound to $3.50 per pound, there isn't a cheaper cut of beef.
Many times I will have people tell me that they would love to cook a brisket, but just don't know what to do with over 10# of beef. These two recipes are perfect because you can buy 1 10# brisket, cut it right down the middle and make the JBARH KINKY FRIEDMAN BRISKET with the fat end and the JBARH BEEF TIPS with the lean end. And BOTH recipes freeze wonderfully.
Try them out and let me know what you think. (To get the recipes, click on the links.)

The value of a book can't be found in just counting the pages, the value of a book can only be found by taking your time to reflect upon the message hidden in it. This is certainly true for Timespiration from Cyriel Kortleven. Timespiration is a book about Time. It's not a book about time-management. It's not a book about the clock. It's a book about Time and the different perspectives on this topic. Here are some things that touched me:
We all have our time machines. Some take us back, they're called memories. Some take us forward, they're called dreams. Jeremy Irons - actor
Slowness is balance Doing things fast when speed is required and not rushing when we don't need to. Slowness is about doing everything in the appropriate manner.
Take a 10 second holiday....
and enjoy a cup of tea.

Walking Thinking Walking
Lois Turner's 'Walking Thinking Walking' is running through to this Sunday.
Date 13th. February - 16th March 2014, open daily, 10.00am - 4.00pm
Hughes Gallery, Fullarton Park Centre, 411 Fullarton Road, Fullarton 5063
Lois' work explores how the environment and its rhythms affect our behaviour.
"Rhythm is found in urban life and movement. In all biological life forms, and the pulses of our bodies such as heart rate, breathing and pace of walking. The experiment into rhythm provides me with much insight into the workings of everyday life.
The work in this exhibition reflects my experience of rhythms produced through walking in both the urban and country contexts. My recent time as an Artist in Residence at Cleland Wildlife Park allowed me to observe the effects of the wildlife in their environment, most specifically snakes.
"Red Bellied Black Snake" is a series of one hundred small canvas panels that looks at the key to snakes agility and how their movements differ according to the surface on which they slither or ripple. The digital piece "Mesmerised" brings to light the common fear of snakes and reflects our own body's reaction to them.
My work is a continual experimentation into manipulating and cross referencing between different mediums. Computer technologies, painting and photography, together inform my ideas of rhythm. Ultimately, though it is the idea that determines the most appropriate medium for the message."

Henry Lucy
This article may be in need of reorganization to comply with Wikipedia's layout guidelines. (March 2014) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Sir Henry William Lucy JP, (5 December 1842 – 20 February 1924)[a][1] was one of the most famous English political journalists of the Victorian era. He was widely known on both sides of the Atlantic. Known as serious commentator of parliamentary affairs, he was also an accomplished humorist, and a parliamentary sketch-writer; acknowledged as the first great lobby correspondent.[2] To the British and men like Ernest Shackleton, who named a mountain after him in Antarctica, he was a hero. But New York journalists saw the Englishmen as a mild joke. The mixed perceptions of his real personality have been left to modern biographers to decipher in more depth.[3]
Life and career[edit]
Henry Lucy was born in Crosby, near Liverpool in 1842, the son of Robert Lucy, a rose-engine turner in the watch trade, and his wife, Margaret Ellen Kemp. He was baptised, William Henry on 23 April 1843 at St. Michael's Church, Crosby. While he was still an infant the family removed to Everton, Liverpool, where he attended the private Crescent School until August 1856; thereafter until 1864 he was junior clerk to Robert Smith, hide merchant, of Redcross Street, Liverpool.
He worked as a clerk, and had poetry published in the Liverpool Mercury; taught himself shorthand. Worked for the Shrewsbury Chronicle as chief reporter from 1864,[4] and for Shrewsbury's local Observer, and the Shropshire News. Before giving notice to the Chronicle he wrote leader articles for the other Shrewsbury papers which mostly replied to his own leaders in the Chronicle the week before, besides writing 'penny-a-liners' of Shropshire news for London newspapers.[5]
Lucy married on 29 October 1873 Emily Anne (1847–1937), daughter of his old schoolmaster at Liverpool, John White. There were no children of the marriage.
He lived in Paris during 1869, and learned French. After returning to England he wrote for Pall Mall Gazette from 1870, and Parliamentary reporter for Daily News from 1873. He stayed with the Liberal newspaper for which he was promoted the editor: and Parliamentary sketch writer for Punch from 1881. Used the nom-de-plume "Toby, M.P." from 1881 to 1916. Wrote the weekly column "The Essence of Parliament" in Punch magazine for 35 years. When not writing under one of his pseudonyms, he was usually styled Henry W. Lucy.
In 1880, he began writing for The Observer the Cross bench column, which continued for twenty-nine years.
His remarkable flair for politics and parliamentary affairs soon brought him to the front rank of his profession.
Lucy's lasting memorial is in the volumes he compiled from his Punch parliamentary sketches: A Diary of Two Parliaments (2 vols., 1885–6); A Diary of the Salisbury Parliament, 1886–1892 (1892); A Diary of the Home Rule Parliament, 1892–1895 (1896); A Diary of the Unionist Parliament, 1895–1900 (1901); and The Balfourian Parliament, 1900–1905 (1906). They amount to a history of the Commons in its heyday and have been extensively mined by historians.
Lucy was a long-running friend and fund-raiser for Shackleton's expeditions to the South Pole. His generosity exceeded Shackleton's expectations, guaranteeing its success. Knighted in 1909, he was the first lobby correspondent to be seen as the social equal of the politicians in the Commons whom he reported. He rose to national prominence during the constitutional crises of 1909-10 during which he revealed that the truth to the Commons about Navy estimates being as much as £60 million all along. His article was used as evidence by Hugh Foster MP to demand clarity from the government on the budgetary proposals being blocked in the Lords.[6]
His London home was at 42 Ashley Gardens, and he was a member of the National Liberal Club.
Sir Henry Lucy left a huge sum of money, over £250,000,[7] and was probably the wealthiest Victorian journalist who was not also a newspaper proprietor. In his will he endowed a "Sir William Henry Lucy Bed" at Shrewsbury's Royal Salop Infirmary "in memory of his pleasant connection with Shrewsbury" as a journalist.[8] A pioneer of the profession of public affairs consultancy, Lucy had already been awarded a kighthood when invited to Buckingham Palace by Queen Mary to whom he presented a gift of his political anecdote collection.[9]
He died of bronchitis at Whitethorn, his country house at Hillside Street, Hythe, Kent in 1924, aged 81.[1]
In 1935, his widow Lady Lucy donated £1,000 to found the Sir Henry Lucy Scholarship at Merchant Taylors' School, Crosby.
There are several portraits of Sir Henry Lucy at the National Portrait Gallery, including one by John Singer Sargent.

By him[edit]
His analytical observations of the Conservative antagonist were characteristic
The physical energy with which this election speech was delivered was certainly very remarkable for a man in his seventy-fourth year. There is, however, unmistakeable evidence of pumping up in the Premier's (Beaconsfield's) latest oratorical feats. The vigour is spasmodic, the strength artificial, and the listener has a feeling that at any moment a spring may break, a screw go loose, and the whole machinery come to a sudden stop.
Remarking upon the Liberal counterpart's performance in the chamber he sensed that
Gladstone's tours de force are perfectly natural. When after one of his great speeches he resumes his seat, he is, and often proves himself to be, ready to start again. With the Premier, the excitement of the moment over and the appointed task achieved, he falls into a state of prostration painful to witness. His eyes seem to lose all expression, his cheeks fall in, and his face takes on a ghastly hue. Physically he is at least ten years older than Gladstone.[10]
The House of Commons is unique in many ways. I believe the main foundation of the position it holds among the parliaments of the world is the condition of volunteered unremunerated service.
In spite of the sneers from disappointed or flippant persons, a seat in the House of Commons remains one of the highest prizes of citizen life. There is no reason why any constituency desiring to do so may not return a member on the terms of paying him a salary. It is done in several cases, in two at least with the happiest results.
It would be a different thing to throw the whole place open with standing advertisement for eligible Members at a salary. The horde of impecunious babblers and busybodies attracted by such a bait would trample down the class of man who compose the present House of Commons and who are, in various ways, in touch with all the multiform interests of the nation. Strand Magazine, 1883 [11]
"I would rather have been editor of Punch, than Emperor of India..."[12]
"Yesterday Herbert Spencer died at Brighton. His natural temperament was such that many things that other men got along with placidly gave him acute pain. To put the incontestable fact another way, he was perhaps the most irascible man who has ever been faced by the inconvenience of other people presuming to inhabit the same globe"[13]
About him[edit]
US President Woodrow Wilson credited Lucy with propelling him into public life[14] and described Lucy's articles in The Gentleman's Magazine as "the deciding impulse of [my] life; vivid descriptions of Parliament, which took an enthralling hold on [my] young imagination" New York Times, 1912[15]
"Never in the House, but always of it, Lucy seemed to occupy for a long time a position of his own, as a species of familiar spirit or licensed jester, without which no Parliament was complete." Times Obit., 1924[16]
The journalist and writer Frank Harris said of Lucy, "He met everyone, and knew no-one."[17]
"Shackleton's naming an antarctic mountain after Sir Henry Lucy amuses me. I knew Lucy very well - a little toadie, who afterwards toadied himself into a title..." Ambrose Bierce, letter, 1910 [18]

Mount Henry Lucy (3020m) in Antarctica was named after him by Shackleton in 1909,[20] as thanks for Lucy's assistance in publicising his Nimrod Expedition and help in raising funds.
- ^ Most early references give 5 December 1845 as the birthdate, as did Lucy himself. DNB cites a baptism in April 1843 and gives a putative birthdate of March 1843. English civil registration records the birth as being registered in the first quarter of 1843, as William Henry Lucy. Thus 5 December 1842 seems the most likely date of birth.

I love this podcast! Great for fans of popular mechanics.
Biased to the point of incorrect
There is so much bias in some of the topics that they are incomplete and incorrect. They interview one person on a large topic (like election interference and fraud) and that's it. When some things are so obviously incomplete &/or incorrect, how am I supposed to believe the info on any other topic?
The interviewer thought leather was the color of the cow! Many of the pieces showed a similar lack of knowledge or preparation. In my opinion this podcast is a waste of time. The one on resequestering of CO2 is hilarious in that the scientist can't believe the interviewer is so ignorant of the subject but tries not to show it. The scientist has a great zinger about the difference getting projects approved in the US as opposed to Iceland. I won't spoil it for you though. Check that one out and forget the rest.

COLLINSVILLE – Capt. Joe Kollins, District 11 Commander, announced today that the Illinois State Police (ISP) will conduct Occupant Restraint Enforcement Patrols (OREP) in St. Clair or Madison County during May.
OREP allows the ISP to target an area with saturation patrols that focus on traffic violations and related compliance with safety belt and child safety seat laws. Safety belt enforcement zones will also be set up to ensure the driver and passengers are buckled up. Beginning Jan. 1, 2012, Illinois law requires all vehicle passengers (front and back) to be buckled up.
Safety belts are one of the most effective safety devices, estimated to save more than 16,000 lives each year. More than half of vehicle occupants killed in a traffic crash were not properly buckled up.
The program's objective is to increase compliance of occupant restraint laws through education, child seat inspections and enforcement. Greater awareness, acceptance and use of occupant protection equipment will save many lives.
This project is funded through the Illinois Department of Transportation, Division of Traffic Safety.
Kollins also announced troopers may conduct Roadside Safety Checks (R.S.C) in St. Clair or Madison counties this month.
A roadside safety check is an effective tool for generating voluntary compliance by the motoring public. The potential to come across these checks encourages motorists to arrange designated drivers, keep their consumption of alcohol within the allowable limits, or not drive a motor vehicle after drinking. Safety checks are designed to take dangerous DUI offenders off the road.
Across the country, an average of one alcohol-related traffic death occurs every 45 minutes. Alcohol and drug impairment are significant factors in more than 40 percent of all fatal motor vehicle crashes in Illinois. Each year in Illinois, hundreds of lives are lost in alcohol-related crashes.
Officers working the R.S.C. will also be watchful for drivers who are operating vehicles in an unsafe manner, driving with a suspended or revoked driver's license, and transporting open alcoholic beverages.
This Roadside Safety Check is funded through a grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The grant is administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation, Division of Traffic Safety.

D'oh! Fox Reveals Dough
Fox Cable Networks Group is digging to find out who sent an e-mail last week revealing the salaries of Fox employees, from top brass on down, and it may take legal action against the individuals.
The e-mail went out to Fox Cable staffers, which includes Fox Sports, FX and National Geographic Channel.
A Fox Cable spokesperson would say only, "We can't comment on criminal matters."

Meanwhile, back in Vienna…
It would take weeks to explore all the attractions of the Hofburg Complex. On my initial visit, I sampled four of the Complex's museums. I started w/the linked Imperial Silver Collection, the Sisi Museum, and the Imperial Apartments, then finished the day at the Imperial Treasury.
The Imperial Silver Collection gives you an idea of what it was like to dine w/the Hapsburgs. It contains, among other things, thousands of table centerpieces, serving implements, and pieces of tableware and porcelain. It's some indication of the immense wealth of the Hapsburgs that even their formal dinnerware is enough to fill a museum.
The Imperial Silver Collection had a subtle little effect on me: Since I returned from Vienna, I've been using the Haviland Limoges instead of my everyday dishes.
The Sisi Museum shares a gift shop with the Imperial Silver Collection. "Sisi" was the Empress Elisabeth, who is still, more than 100 years after her assassination by an anarchist, a legendary and romanticized figure in Austria and Hungary. Her place In Austro-Hungarian history is rather similar to that of Princess Diana in British history.
She was a free spirit who detested court life and was hugely popular with the "common" people, especially the empire's Hungarian subjects, who idolized her. She traveled widely, from England to the French Riviera to Corfu, spending months away from Vienna. She went to Morocco, Egypt, Algeria, and Malta, learning languages as she went.
Elisabeth appreciated the arts, and her favorite cousin was King Ludwig II of Bavaria, patron of Richard Wagner and builder of Neuschwanstein.
From there, it was on to the Imperial Apartments. The Imperial Apartments were the winter residence of Emperor Franz Joseph and Empress Elisabeth. The furniture mostly late 19th Century, and the dominant colour is red, with red damask wall coverings and curtains.
This is one of the many reasons I love Europe: What some people call "Room Porn." I'm fascinated by Period rooms, for both their beauty and their fantasy elements. Visiting–revelling in–the Imperial Apartments was the highlight of my day.
Photography was not allowed, but I found these picture online:
My final stop of a v long day was the Imperial Treasury. I'll let the objects there speak for themselves.

Chilblains are caused by the skin's abnormal reaction to cold. Circulation is a determining factor for chilblains; people with poor circulation in the feet are more susceptible.
Chilblains are characterized by small itchy, red swellings on the skin, which become increasingly painful, swell, and dry out, leaving cracks in the skin and exposing the foot to the risk of infection. They occur on the extremities—the toes (particularly the smaller ones), fingers, the face (especially the nose), and the ear lobes. They can also occur on areas of the feet exposed to pressure, such as on a bunion or where the second toe is squeezed by tight shoes. Symptoms include burning and itching, swelling or redness, breaks in the skin, and ulcers.
Treatment includes keeping the body, legs, and feet warm, especially for individuals who have poor circulation and/or limited mobility.
Calamine lotion will take away most of the skin discomfort. If chilblains become ulcerated, application of an antiseptic dressing is the recommended form of treatment.

This soup was good, but even tripling the amount of spices it says to add, it still was a bit bland for my taste. I used an acorn squash instead of a kabocha squash. Not sure if that makes a dif...

UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash. - Rory McIlroy's body language said it all. He sank about a 15-foot comeback putt for par to complete a third-round 70 Saturday at Chambers Bay, and he raised both arms in mock celebration as if he were about to lift the U.S. Open trophy for the second time.
It was a sign of the frustration the world's No. 1-ranked player was feeling after struggling to make the cut by a stroke at 4-over for 36 holes and then failing to keep a subpar round going on "moving day." His even-par third round did move him forward, but not enough to feel he's anything but a long shot Sunday.
"It took a while to hole one," McIlroy said of his celebration at the 18th hole. "I missed seven makeable puts on the back nine. It was nice to see one drop at the last. I feel like I turned a 65 into a 70 today. Just real disappointed."
McIlroy came into the U.S. Open saying he was "in full control" of his game and anxious to back up his top ranking. But while his ball-striking has improved markedly since he missed two cuts recently in Europe, the bumpy greens of Chambers Bay have gotten into his head.
"I'm hitting great shots and great drives and giving myself chances the whole time," he said. "It's just hard to stay patient whenever I'm not holing anything.
"You start to miss a few, and there's some that you don't quite know if you've made a bad stroke or if it's bobbled off line. You start to doubt yourself a little bit, and you doubt the greens. You start thinking about it a little too much . . . The course itself is great, but to come to a U.S. Open and not have perfect greens is a little disappointing."
McIlroy was 2 under on the front nine to get to 2 over for the tournament, and he hit a great approach at the par-4 10th within three feet of the pin. He missed that putt plus short birdie putts at the 12th and 14th, three-putted the 11th for bogey and bogeyed No. 15 out of a sand trap. Suddenly, a promising round had disintegrated.
"I would say the putt at No. 10 was the real momentum- stopper," McIlroy said. "I'll need something spectacular [Sunday]. If I can hit the ball like I did today and have one of my best-ever putting rounds, I still have a chance."
As in fat chance.

What It's Really Like To Work A Winery Harvest
Have you ever visited a wine region and dreamed of packing up your 9-5 to work in a gorgeous vineyard, surrounded by jaw dropping scenery and great wine? You're not alone!
But before we all pack our bags and quit our jobs, I wanted to get a little more insight on what working a winery harvest is really like--- so I sat down with my friend and fellow sommelier Yumi Ortiz, a veteran of nine winery harvests in Europe, to fill us in on all the dirty details (spoiler alert: it's not as glamorous as it looks!)
Like most people in the wine industry, Yumi's story is an interesting one: college studies abroad brought her to Spain (motivated by her passion for Flamenco, naturally!), and while there she ended up falling in love with Spain's food and wine culture. Back in the states after college she was fatefully laid off from her corporate job… but instead of crying into her Pinot, she took that opportunity to change directions and pursue her passion for wine as a career; taking courses with the WSET and more importantly, gaining hands-on experience working nine harvests around Spain, Italy, Portugal, and France. Today, Yumi has worked for five years in pretty much every aspect of the wine industry you can imagine: retail, direct sales, marketing, and beverage management; but it was her harvest experience I was most interested in hearing about. Check out our Q&A below!
The Lush Life: For everyone out there that would LOVE to quit their job and run off to work in a vineyard, give us an idea of what a typical harvest day looks like.
Yumi Ortiz: I am a big cheerleader of following your heart and passion, but with that also comes with hard work and dedication. I am a passionate person and I have worked to follow my dream of harvests. As a wine professional, it is imperative to learn about wine production, it's a better understanding of wine once you're involved in the process.
However, things are not as romantic--- although there is occasionally lavish food and wine dinners, or opportunity to hang around wine people and learn about wine, that's not the case on a daily basis. Wine harvest is a JOB. Like any other job, there are duties one needs to fulfill to get the job done. Harvests are lengthy hours, the winery work involves a lot of physical work. Cleaning is very important, so be prepared to do a lot of sweeping, mopping, and cleaning around! If you are working the vineyard, it also involves a lot work physically: you're outdoors, constantly moving around, you have to work at a steady pace, be prepared to get dirty and sticky from the grapes. There aren't any bathroom stations (at least in my case) so you also have to work around that... I've also worked in the lab, and that involves a lot of caution and attention to detail. Wine harvest involves a serious approach: no kidding around, one must be alert, awake, and diligent at all times in order to perform the job. Teamwork and communication is also important.
TLL: What's one thing about working harvest that totally surprised you, or that most people would never expect?
YO: Everything about harvest is surprising. For me it's a meditative state as a wine professional, almost like a wine pilgrimage, where my patience, workmanship, and aptitude to learn about wine production is fulfilled. In my case, I have done my harvests abroad mostly in Western Europe. Every harvest and winery operates differently. I had to deal with adapting to the culture--- something that has helped me in Spain was my fluency in Spanish and in the case for Italy I had to teach myself Italian in order to communicate with people.
What I truly enjoy the most is the connection: you get to know the faces of the people that are the muscle behind the production, not just the winemakers behind the label. You get to know the winery and the vineyard team, share many experiences, create fantastic bonds and work collectively together. Being in wine country also gives you a perspective of how wine harvest is celebrated.
Also, the unpredictability of the weather, dealing with climate changes, and actually being attentive to nature's decision is what surprises me the most. At the end of the day, one must be wise and wait til the right moment to make a decision and harvest--- having patience to deal with mother nature becomes a humbling experience.
TLL: Share your #1 favorite or most memorable experience of harvest. Was there a single moment that changed your life or the way you think about wine and your career?
The moment that changed my life was working along winemaker Alvaro Palacios in Spain for the harvest of 2013. Being next to him and working together to harvest his winery and family's wineries was an unique experience; the day we harvested L'Ermita was one of the most profound and special moments I've had in my wine career. From waking up early in the morning, the silence of the vineyard, picking the grapes and then the work at the winery became an opera for me. To have such an opportunity to be mentored by him and his team, was such a gratifying experience, I was fortunate and humbled to be part of that process, and my passion for winemaking just became bigger.
TLL: If someone reading this wants to go and do a harvest, how would you suggest they get started? And what advice would you give them for making the most of their time there?
YO: I suggest research: start early in advance to research location and winery, make sure to have a clear plan about what you want to get out of the experience; also know your budget, save up. Go with a clear mind and level of expectation to learn, make sure to vocalize the experience that you're looking for, whether it's viticulture work or winery work. Be open to learn and have fun! It is a rewarding experience.

Carla, thank you for posting this article. I understand better now why my rheumy made her most recent decision to start infusions if my new current pill form doesn't help. She doesn't think it will but we decided it was worth a try. I'll have to have my husband miss work once a month to drive me to and from infusion clinic at rheumys hospital over an hour away from home if we must do infusions. I'm more than willing though if it will work. Anyway, what you said about meds not being on Medicare's Part D formulary is exactly what just happened to me. I was taking Actemra injections at home once a week for 6 months and they were helping quite a bit. First med to help so much since Enbrel 3 years before that I had to stop due to it was causing my Lupus to flare. Then at the beginning of this year my prescription insurance took Actemra off their formulary. Rheumy appealed for me as I couldn't replace Actemra with Humira like insurance suggested. They denied her appeal. So we started Xeljanz this week, which was the other med insurance suggested, even though like I said rheumy isn't confident at all that it'll work. If it doesn't help at all or enough for her standards for me in 6 weeks then we will begin infusions. She didn't say so but it must be bc of what you said about Medicare paying some or all for infusions. I hope and pray for you that you and your rheumy are able to work it out and you're able to continue med that is helping you.
I wish you the very best in this decision Carla.
Have you discussed the possibility of using a mid line or PIC line for ongoing infusions? I had a number of patients in home care using this method when they had multiple IV drugs over a prolonged period. These are generally placed by specially trained staff in hospitals and in some physicians offices if they give alot of infusions.
Char: Thanks for the suggestion and it's on the drawing board as a possibility. Both my doctor and I hate to do this as I only have an infusion every six weeks, but I will go that route to stay on treatment if I need to. We're going to try an interim step of switching infusion providers to see if their technicians are a bit more skilled. I have had techs start an IV on the very first try so both my doctor and I are frustrated that the current infusion folks can't seem to come close.
If you're using pills it's worth it to check out prices at the legitimate Canadian pharmacies. The legitimate ones will require a real prescription. The ones that do not are a crapshoot and to be avoided. My hydroxychloroquine is about $350 for 200 in the states and $86 from Canada. My insurance does not cover it so that's a big deal. I've been buying from a Canadian pharmacy for years and the quality is the same as here.


text: COPD Print Pulse Oximetry Definition and Uses in Medicine By Deborah Leader, RN Updated May 19, 2019 Medically reviewed by a board-certified physician A pulse oximetry sensor. Dorling Kindersley/Getty Images More in COPD Symptoms & Causes Diagnosis Treatment Living With Support & Coping Emphysema Chronic Bronchitis Pulse oximetry is a way of determining the oxygen level in your blood, which is an important indicator of your overall health. The test is non-invasive, which means it doesn't use a needle or other instrument that pierces the skin. Instead, pulse oximetry uses a probe or sensor that is placed on the forehead, earlobe, fingertip or even on the bridge of the nose to determine your blood oxygen levels. In COPD, your doctor can use pulse oximetry to determine whether you need supplemental oxygen, and how much oxygen you might need. In the case of a sudden worsening of your condition, your doctor might use pulse oximetry to determine if you should be hospitalized. There are many other conditions and situations where pulse oximetry provides useful information. For example, an anesthesiologist might use pulse oximetry to monitor your blood oxygen levels during or after sedation for surgery. In addition, in sleep apnea, pulse oximetry may detect times when a person's breathing stops. How Does Pulse Oximetry Work? Your blood contains hemoglobin, which carries oxygen molecules from your lungs to where they're needed in your body. In pulse oximetry, we're actually measuring how much of the hemoglobin in your blood is carrying oxygen, and how much is not. The probe that's clipped or placed on you uses light in specific wavelengths to measure oxygen saturation of your hemoglobin. Hemoglobin that's carrying oxygen absorbs this light differently than hemoglobin that isn't carrying oxygen, and the data collected by the probe will show the difference. Normal oxygen saturation levels range between 95% to 100%. Oxygen saturation levels in COPD and in other conditions, such as asthma, lung cancer, heart failure, and pneumonia, are typically lower. Pulse oximetry monitors are useful for monitoring supplemental oxygen therapy. Pulse oximetry is considered quite accurate and so often is used instead of the "gold standard" oxygen saturation test, arterial blood gas analysis (which requires a blood draw). Where Is Pulse Oximetry Performed? Since this is a simple procedure (about as easy as taking your blood pressure), pulse oximetry can be performed virtually anywhere: at your doctor's office, in the hospital, or at home. In fact, you can purchase wearable pulse oximetry monitors for your wrist that will track your blood oxygen levels around the clock and potentially alert your physician or caregivers if the levels fall too low. You also can buy fingertip clip-on devices that will transmit blood oxygenation data to your smartphone. Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback!
