My experience with returning to work after diagnosis & 2 years off
After diagnosis I was told (by a doctor with a terrible bedside manner) to forget about my career in fashion.
He said that I should go back to working in administration after asking me why I even work in fashion to begin with. Yip - he kicked me while I was down and out.
This was about 8 weeks into my hospital stay and during my last phase of rehabilitation and about 2 weeks after my diagnosis. I sat there with a walk belt strapped around my waist and a handful of disability at 31 years old wondering how the hell I got into this crazy situation. I had never experienced anything so surreal. Only weeks prior I was hanging with friends at a music festival and now i'm learning to walk and talk again. All I could see was my old life slip away as a new life of discrimination and disability took over. I was absolutely devastated.
My family and I knew nothing about MS at that point and we had no idea what kind of recovery I was going to make. It was also hard getting concrete answers from doctors. They seemed to be quite baffled by my situation aswell.
I just kept thinking about all the years of hard work getting my degree (over 4 yrs), the unpaid internships I did (several) the stress I went through, money invested and late nights. All the sacrifice i'd made to my health, time away from Ben, my friends and family to get the skills and knowledge I needed to get a good job in the fashion industry. I had learnt so much and had so much to share. It felt like such a waste.
Initially it was really hard for me to process. I felt cheated and it felt incredibly unfair. For months I had so many new questions going through my mind - what career path was I going to do now? what if it's too stressful? will people understand about my illness? what if I hate it and it doesn't make me happy? how am I going to pay my student loan back?
After a lot of tears, counselling from Ben and long walks thinking about my new future. I realised that all of the experience I'd gained, all of the knowledge, all of the people I'd met through all my work experiences and study. They had not only helped me with my chosen career path but they had helped to shape me as a person. I wouldn't be the person I am right now without all of that experience which has enriched so much of me and my personality. Slowly I began to see the positives regardless of what job I did and it didn't seem that bad.
During that time a friend asked me if I'd look after her little boy 1 day a week which was an easy commitment to make. I knew I could manage at least 1 day. It was great as it gave me some confidence, some income and time doing something completely new and different without a boss or deadlines hanging over me.
As time went on and more of my ability returned I began feeling ready to apply for work. An ad came up at an activewear company locally that I thought I could manage, it was also close-by. So I applied and I got an interview.
I've now been working for about 8 weeks and I'm loving it. But there is definitely a knack to managing work and MS. The first 2 weeks I worked I was overwhelmed with fatigue. Days off were spent feeling completely exhausted and flat, with bed rest being my only option. That initial deep fatigue "adjustment phase" was pretty overwhelming but now 8 weeks in I'm doing much better. I'm able to function on my days off and do the things I love. It's still a balancing act for sure. Some days are definitely better than others. But I decided that I'd do what I could to help my body with this process.
This is how I've navigated my return to work with MS so far including disclosing my illness, what I feel is helping with the process and some of the benefits I've noticed.
Initially when I started looking for work I kept getting drawn back into full-time fashion roles on the other side of Sydney because they were familar to me, that was all I knew. But it wasn't ideal. I had to get really clear with myself. What was the use in going back to a management position with relentless work hours and stress given my health situation. And did I really want that for myself anyway? - maybe the money would be better but what price was I going to pay. I realised that it didn't align with my long term health goals so I let it go.
I decided that about 3 days per week was doable at a reduced capacity like an assistant role with scope to increase gradually. I also decided that money is great but health is better. I wanted days for rest, time to work on personal projects and continue to heal. I knew I didn't want to commute huge hours to and from the city each day. But being able to financially provide for myself is also important. And I'm so glad I pulled back and got realistic, because I wouldn't have lasted 2 weeks in a full-time full-on role right now.
Once I actually started working I realised that it required so much energy, concentration and focus so I definitely need my rest days.
disclosing my diagnosis
The first question that came up was should I tell them about my diagnosis or shouldn't I? I felt that I wanted to share but I was scared. I didn't want to be discriminated against if I did. Yet on the other hand I didn't want to feel unsupported at work if I didn't. I decided to ring the MS society and see if anyone could help and they were fantastic. They said that some people do and some people don't, and that ultimately it was my choice and I should do what feels right for me.
So given my history I decided that transparency was my way forward. I knew I needed support in the work place and the type of relationship with my employers that was supportive and understanding. And that decision for me has really paid off. They've been great and I feel really lucky.
What helped with this discussion was my commitment to the OMS program. I told them about all of the elements of the program and that I take it really seriously and I'm achieving a slow remission. They were great about it, genuinely interested and asked me questions about what I do to stay well. It showed them that I'm serious about getting better and motivated to work again. It turns out that my new boss is a certified yoga instructor with a background in buying in the U.K., so we have great chats about health and wellness and share similar views on healing.
communicating what will work for you
Because I told them about my diagnosis and the fact I wanted something part-time to begin with, they were able to understand my situation and offer me the right role for my needs. They also liked to employ people and let them grow with the business, working with their strengths which I really value. I'm also encouraged to be open about how I'm feeling so we can adjust days.
ease into it - rest & work
I initially did a few days per week on staggered hours, then gradually increased my hours. I also took a step back from my blog so that I could focus on looking after myself on my days off. I'm currently doing about 3-4 full days per week. The role is flexible and varies week to week which gives me much valued rest days.
get Good sleep
Sleep is everything for me. A bad nights sleep for me worsens my nystagmus, balance, mood and energy which can make work days harder than they need to be. I now prioritise my sleep to be able to function well the next day. I try and limit screen time in the evenings by not looking at my phone or the computer after about 6-7pm. I don't drink alcohol on work nights either so I can get proper deep sleep. Sometimes I'll take a magnesium supplement if I really feel that I need a good nights sleep. I light my oil burner with lavender oil and do all the things in My 16 ways to encourage CALM part 1 and 2.
learning to switch-off in my time
Currently a work in progress. But worrying solves nothing, it doesn't change the next work day unless it's productive thinking and quite often things can completely change the next day anyway. I remind myself to trust in the flow of life and live in the moment. This has gotten easier as I've settled more.
Also when I'm working for someone else I feel they're paying me to be the best version of myself within their company and to perform. But when I'm at home I'm on my own time. I like to think of it as me paying myself to be well in my time. So I remind myself that when I'm there it's work, and once I leave it's my time.
maintaining meditation
Meditation is an easy one to let slip. I find myself all fired up after a work day and it's hard to then lay down and literally switch off. Knowing I need to cook dinner plays on my mind to. So instead of meditating at around 4-5pm like I use to. I've been doing it just before sleep, which then takes me off into a calm, relaxed nights sleep. That way I don't miss out on time with Ben or worry about making dinner too late.
Always a work in progress at work and at home. I'm always bringing myself back to the present moment, enjoying it and not getting too far ahead of myself.
eat right - beginning with breakfast
Good healthy food always gives me energy. When I get hungry I fade right out, I get completely flat, tired, loose my concentration and I sometimes feel nauseous. So to avoid this at work I have a go-to breakfast for work days that includes a quick healthy smoothie (recipe below) that I take with me to work and sip throughout the morning and vegan nutella & flaxseed oil on sourdough toast - yip i'm still addicted to it!.
I find by getting in all the right foods that help with blood flow and concentration like cacao and acai and some greens, it's been fantastic at keeping me going all day. I can then have a light lunch that doesn't slow me down.
Even though it may not look appetising it still tastes great, and more importantly it does it's job. One day I didn't have a smoothie and I was starving and unable to focus by mid morning. I've included greens and raw almonds for calcium, iron and protein, kefir for probiotics, chia for fibre, blueberries for antioxidants, acai to help with memory and concentration, coconut water for hydration and flaxseed oil for good fats.
- 1/2 Banana frozen or unfrozen
- 1 cup frozen blueberries
- 1 cup kale leaves, stems removed
- 1 tablespoon organic acai powder
- 1/2 frozen acai pack (optional)
- 1 teaspoon organic maca powder
- A handful of raw almonds - about 20
- 1.5 cups coconut water - more if you want it thinner
- 1 scoop marine collagen powder (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon of coconut water kefir
- 1 tablespoon of organic cold flaxseed oil
Put all the ingredients in a blender and blend till really smooth. Pour into a takeaway cup with a lid and a re-usable straw to sip on at work. I got this glass smoothie jar from target for $1 - so handy! I love it. Especially when your smoothie is too cold to hold!
Quite often we wake dehydrated and don't even know it. Then we guzzle caffeine which is a diuretic draining more water from the body. When what we really need is WATER. I decided that every morning first thing before work I would drink a couple of big glasses of filtered water to rehydrate. A habit formed from infusion day prep that is actually a great hack, I highly recommend everyone do this everyday. Staying hydrated gives me more energy, clarity and relief from symptoms. It's also great to flush out the kidneys and bladder from hours of sleep.
Be weary of heaters in winter as well, I've found if the heatings on all day at work its super drying, by the end of the day I feel flushed and can't focus.
listen to your body
I've had one day during the first few weeks when I woke up and had just hit the wall, so I had to take a rest day. Other days I'm tired but once I get up and have breakfast and water I'm good to go. My boss will usually flag up when she knows it'll be a quiet week or a busy week so I can then plan rest days. It's a fine balance and only you will know your body. Usually if I've pushed it in the week I make priority for flat-out rest in the weekend, and not feeling guilty about it. I feel like I'm constantly adjusting to a new normal at the moment as my body adjusts and I get better.
I fell into this straight away. Trying to keep up with them, watching them work huge hours and still function. Feeling guilty about leaving early or because your not feeling great. Its a weird thing taking a step back in the work force. It's definitely gotten easier over the weeks and being open with my colleagues helps them understand what I'm going through. I had to remind myself that I don't have the same body or immune system as them and mine needs a little more tlc.
There are so many benefits in getting back into work again. The best is now I get paid! which is a great feeling. Secondly I've overcome another challenge which was a goal I set for myself for this year - so that feels great too.
I'm also really enjoying it and I'm learning new things everyday. My new bosses have been so supportive and understanding as have my colleagues. I've talked openly about MS with some of them and they are so helpful and understanding. And the reduced level of responsibility and flexible work hours have been fantastic.
Another is that my nystagmus has improved again. I'm forced to look down a lot at work whereas I could quite easily avoid it at home. I remember my eye specialist saying that eyes can get lazy so forcing them to work together even when it's uncomfortable is really important.
My fatigue has also improved again. I very rarely have those days of literally struggling to get out of bed (unless I've completely overdone it). My body is finally getting use to waking early and jumping up for a work day.
All in all it's been a really positive, enjoyable experience and I feel very grateful and lucky. If someone had said to me while I was at my worst in hospital that I'd be fine, my disability would disappear and I'd work in fashion again I would have cried possibly for days with happiness.
I think that balance is always key, if you know you've been over doing it then allowing time to rest and be on your own. Talking and social interaction although fun and healthy can be incredibly draining so I always find alone time where I don't have to talk, the best remedy. The balance is real.
I would love to hear how other people are managing MS at work or how you've managed your return to work as well. Do you have any things you do to help you with symptoms? are they similar to mine? i'd love to know!
Have a lovely weekend!
Much love!!

We have followed this doc to create a custom model and several classes: https://console.bluemix.net/docs/services/visual-recognition/tutorial-custom-classifier.html#creating-a-custom-model
How do we delete one of the classes (ie. goldenretriever) from this custom model? It seems that there is only a command to delete the custom model instead of a class one. See:
curl -X DELETE \
Any advice would be appreciated.
Answer by Matthew Hill (1426) | May 02, 2018 at 09:14 AM
Thanks for your interest in Visual Recognition. At this time, you cannot delete a class from a classifier, you can only delete an entire classifier. You can either:
ignore that class in the output or
train a new classifier without that class (which will use more API events).

I feel like I've been gone from the blogosphere forever. I have some catching up to do, but it doesn't look like it will happen until possibly June. Gosh where does time go?
The iris above was photographed in The Summer's Garden of Steve Hess last Saturday. He had his spring sale "Holly Hock Days" and this iris just caught my eye while shopping for his beautiful garden stones. The Welcome in the background is one of his pieces.
We took the scenic route after a drive south to a favorite greenhouse… well a couple of them *smiles*. I barely got the car stopped and the window rolled down before this beauty flew for a higher perch.

Multi award-winning NB Studio put design at the heart of their business and their soul into everything they create. They're there to explore the future on behalf of their clients and ask, "What could the brand of tomorrow look like?" Creative courage underpins everything they do.
Two Workshops
We ran two really enjoyable whole-company workshops with NB Studio to help them explore what intellectual assets/IP the company owned and how these could be commercially exploited. We looked at new ways of talking about value, where additional value sat within the company and how to earn revenues in areas they had never previously anticipated. We had a blast! And we continue to work with them as advisors on intellectual assets/IP issues.
Our work with clients varies from projects, to work shops, to grow planning, but can also involve workshops, telephone calls and support around IP development and exploitation. This open engagement is great for all of us. In the last few months we've had some intriguing IP conversations with Cult, NB Studio, the Conservatoire of Drama and Dance and the Creative Industries Federation.

We're closing in on our Midwest Grows Green (MGG) Healthy Lawns Fundraiser on October 29th, so we wanted to share the 10 reasons to attend.
Each week, this blog will add a new reason.
Reason #5
Hear pesticide reduction stories from advocates like Amy Joyce! Amy pushed her village of Whitefish Bay, WI to reduce their synthetic pesticides and fertilizers and will share this information at both our MGG Healthy Lawns Fundraiser and MGG Lawn & Land Forum Workshop. Learn more from our interview with her at bit.ly/MGGfundR5.
Attend our Healthy Lawns Fundraiser Monday, October 29th, 5 to 8 pm, at Good City Brewing to support advocates like Amy and pesticide reduction work in Milwaukee. Tickets are available for $45 at bit.ly/MGGfundraiser18
Reason #6
Foster environmentally-friendly consumer behavior! Products of organic fertilizers, natural pesticides, and compost only accounted for 8% of lawn and garden sales in 2015. In Milwaukee, Midwest Grows Green works to place these products on equal footing with their toxic synthetic chemical counterparts through implementing its Point-of-Purchase program at Puhl's True Value, Village Outdoor Living, and Village Ace Hardware Prospect.
Reason #7
Healthy Communities! More than 40 individuals have taken the Midwest Grows Green Pledge to reduce their synthetic lawn pesticide and fertilizer use across Milwaukee County. Each new commitment helps MPAC reduce synthetic chemicals in your own community and communities across the Midwest.
Reason #8
Green and Healthy Schools! In 2018 MPAC staff helped Highland Community School implement a natural lawn care management plan for its playgrounds, organized a sustainable landscaping career informational session for three horticulture classes at Harold S. Vincent High School, and participated for the second time in the Milwaukee Green Schools Conference. Children are the most vulnerable to pesticide use both indoors and out. MPAC has already held meetings or conversations with a couple of Milwaukee-area schools and districts for natural lawn care implementation in 2019, but needs your support to eliminate lawn pesticide and fertilizer use on these spaces where children learn and play!
Reason #9
MPAC's Ryan Anderson will share his comedic take on common lawn weeds.
Reason #10
Because if you purchase before Monday, October 1st, you'll get food, beer, and entertainment for a low price of $35!

Jazz singer Charles Turner has won the the first Duke Ellington Center for the Arts' Jazz Vocal Competition in New York.
Jazz singer Charles Turner, whose new album 'Dreamers' has been featured regularly on Jazz FM, has won the the first Duke Ellington Center for the Arts' Jazz Vocal Competition in New York. Hosted by the founder, Duke Ellington's dancer and choreographer grand-daughter Mercedes Ellington, it was part of the 40th Annual 52nd Street Duke Ellington Jazz Festival. 22 singers were featured, both male and female.
Ms. Ellington said, "The Duke Ellington Center for the Arts was founded in 2004 with a mission to preserve and advance into the 21st century and beyond the creative and philosophical legacy of Duke Ellington, an American icon who is one of the most prolific musical geniuses of the 20th century, through performances and education. This Vocal Competition, featuring up and coming jazz vocalists from diverse backgrounds and providing them with public and media recognition, is something Duke would strongly support."
Charles received a cash prize for coming first, as well as an invitation to perform at the 'Ring Dem Bells' concert at the Landmark In The Park space in New York, December 8th.

TC 4.5 on Human-Machine Systems
[Home] [Scope] [Members] [Newsletter] [Events / Activities]
Scope of Interest
The TC 4.5 is concerned with complex technical or social systems where human factors and tight human-machine interaction/coupling play a significant or indispensable role as an integral component. It is primarily aimed at promoting analysis, design, modeling, optimization, control, and evaluation/assessment of human-machine systems (HMS), human-automation interaction, human-systems integration, and brain-machine interfacing systems. Its key topics of interest may include, but not necessarily limited to the following areas:
· decision making and cognitive processes,
· modeling, analysis, assessment, optimization and control of human performance (reliability, predictability, resilience, mental workload, situational awareness),
· applied, virtual, or augmented environments,
· design, analysis and performance evaluation methodology,
· task or functional allocation,
· intelligent or adaptive human-machine interfaces,
· human operator support and functional state assessment,
· job design and work organization,
· human operator selection and training
· human-machine interactions
· brain-machine interactions
· brain-computer interface
· human-automation interaction
· human-systems integration
· neuroergonomics
· adaptive automation (or adjustable autonomy)
· adaptive aiding
This TC encourages theoretical or applied contributions, to its (mainly or co-) sponsored scientific events, on all topics of the information processing (from the perception to the decision) related to the human or system state, which can be roughly divided into the following three main clusters:
• Safety, security, efficiency and effectiveness of HMS (Keywords: cognitive task analysis; task/function allocation; risk assessment; accident analysis; operational risk analysis; human performance modelling, analysis and evaluation; organizational, technical and human reliability analysis and control; performance evaluation, workload or stress; resilience engineering; dissonance engineering; human stability; models of perception, problem-solving and decision-making; situation awareness; neuro-ergonomics; virtual reality; augmented reality; emotion or affective computing and pattern recognition; human trust in automation; Kansei engineering; collaboration, cooperation, competition and communication, etc.)
• Design, analysis, modeling, optimization, control, supervision and evaluation/assessment of HMS (Keywords: human-centric design; human-centric computing; work organization design; job design; team design; remote control, coordination or supervision; wearable device/sensor; distributed multi-agent systems; human error or fault diagnosis; learning; knowledge support; embedded automation systems in shared environments; collaborative or cooperative systems and control; human-automation interaction; human-automation co-agency, etc.)
• Human-machine interfaces and brain-machine/computer interfaces (Keywords: graphical user interfaces; auditory interfaces; multimedia design; network and web interfaces; multi-modal interactions in real and virtual environments; functional and adaptive interfaces; sensory modalities; user preferences; user engagement; usability; support for operational risk management, system operation, or maintenance; information management and knowledge retrieval)
The application areas concerned by this TC are quite broad with some examples: laboratory simulation, field experiments; processing, production, quality control, marketing, finance; delivery and services in the innovative and traditional industries; robots, manipulators, telerobotics and teleoperation; computer-aided design and human-integrated manufacturing; intelligent vehicle or transportation systems (car, truck, rail, aircraft, spacecraft, maglev, ship); air traffic control and supervision, automotive systems and aerospace; information systems; energy saving and resource recycling; nuclear and other power systems; chemical and other continuous processes; disaster prevention systems; medical engineering or technology, biomedical systems and biomechanics; disabled and elderly users; education support; command, control, and communication systems; mobile networking, virtual reality, telepresence; game and entertainment; computer-supported collaborative work; management information systems; enterprise systems; agriculture; etc.

Projects on the Horizon
We want to reduce or eliminate cleft palates
Our researchers have been able to predictably create cleft palates in our goat models. Then, after creating the conditions required to make the cleft palate happen, we were able to use drugs prevent the clefting. As many scientists know, creating a animal model is often the first step in finding a treatment. Finding a way to prevent clefting is a big deal for the world and we hope to continue this important basic science research to move the world closer to a solution.
Drug-free migraine treatments done at home
SPG blocks have been used since the 1920s to treat migraines. While SPG blocks were effective at headache treatment, the procedure itself was difficult for patients to tolerate. Over the last few years, several device advances have made it possible for blocks to be administered in less than 30 seconds via a nose spray. We imagine a world where patients can administer these effective blocks themselves using a self-dispensing home device.

Every year, WEDR/99 JAMZ prepares children to go back to school through a four-week "Back to School Backpack Tour." In 2016, WEDR partnered with several local organizations to provide 5,000 backpacks filled with school supplies for underprivileged children in Kindergarten through eighth grade. The station also provides an after-school program called "Fore-Life," which teaches children to golf, as well as disciplinary and math skills. Through the "99 JAMZ Student of the Week" contest, WEDR encourages students to perform well academically. Students with a GPA of 3.5 and above were eligible to enter the student of the week contest. The winner gets to co-host the Wednesday night show's "Top 8@8 Countdown" and also receives $100 and 99 JAMZ gear.
Since 2012, WXYT-FM's Student Heart Check program has helped raise money and awareness for student athletes at risk of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy – an acute, life threatening heart condition. Through fundraising efforts the program has reached the goal of purchasing a mobile cardiac unit which will increase the availability of these life-saving screenings.
Since 1987, the KEX Kids Fund has provided eyeglasses and hearing aids to children whose families cannot afford them in Oregon and Southwest Washington.
WLEN-FM is committed to building strong generations and has done so through innovative programs that build children's confidence, provide relief and comfort and widen available avenues.
Each year, WGY organizes the WGY Christmas Wish Campaign with particular attention to critical care services and recreation programs for ill, underprivileged and homeless youth.
WBHJ has put the spotlight on Birmingham's youth, making it their mission to promote education and community development to benefit the children of its community.
WHUR is rooted in the concept of "It Takes a Village." Using that theme in 2010, the radio station wrapped numerous service programs around the Washington, D.C., region's neediest kids.
Through the KS95 for Kids Radiothon and other activities, KSTP-FM has raised more than $10 million for the Children's Cancer Research Fund and Gillette Children's Specialty Healthcare.
Every day, WLEN serves children of all ages in their community. The station sponsors a number of events and initiatives for children, including youth-produced PSAs, student internships and special broadcasts.
First held in 1999, the annual KS95 for Kids Radiothon is a year-round partnership between KSTP, Gillette Children's Specialty Healthcare and the Children's Cancer Research Fund.
WLEN is consistently there to meet the needs of local children. The station hosts numerous events and activities throughout the year to help children learn and grow.
The KVAK Kids Club engages local school children, in the 4th through 6th grades, in activities to help promote community service.
Through WBAL's "Radio Kids Campaign," millions of dollars have been raised to satisfy the diverse needs of children through summer camps, neighborhood family centers, meals, toys, transportation and so much more.
WLTL-FM, a non-commercial radio station wholly operated by local high school students, broadcasts daily in partnership with the local Ronald McDonald Children's Hospital to provide uplifting programming for sick children.
KVAK strives to provide valuable programming and educational opportunities to those in its isolated Alaska community. The station takes a particular interest in the youth of the community it serves.

Our bodies are clever things, and we can train it into doing stuff we never thought possible. So, when you're preparing your body to compete, at any level, you need to prepare your body for it.
The key things to do before you compete are:
Follow a consistent schedule of a least eight consecutive hours, or depending on your body. Some will find they need more than eight hours a night, others will need less. You know your body better than anyone, make sure you listen to it.
Wake Up
Rise a minimum of two hours before your match. If the match is at 8am, the optimal wake up time would be three hours before, to ensure you are as alert as possible.
Choose juices, fruits, yoghurts with cereal, toast etc. Try to avoid, cheese or pastries.
Drink 1.5 litres of what with electrolytes two hours before the match begins and continue to drink during the match. Being dehydrated before you start is not how you want to feel.
These are our top four things, you could also add in a light workout, stretch, some yoga, to get you in a good mindset before you start to play, but that's personal preference. What are some other things you do to get your body ready to compete? Let us know in the comments below!

No we know, there are parts in the actual house we can still optimize for the extra space, whether it is storage room or lounge. A typical Western living room may contain furnishings such as a sofa , chairs , occasional tables , coffee tables , bookshelves , electric lamps , rugs, or other furniture Traditionally, a sitting room in the United Kingdom and New Zealand has a fireplace , dating from when this was necessary for heating.
UK fashion designer Hussein Chalayan is contributing a series of wearable devices that will detect the emotions of museum visitors and project them into the surrounding space for a piece called Room Tone that will explore anxieties related to city living.
Along the history-conscious East Coast, the living room of an Oyster Bay, New York, home in which George Washington really did sleep (during a 1790 visit) had a lot to live up to. So when designer Sallie Giordano bought it as her family's weekend retreat, one of her overarching impulses was to honor its age.
The abundance of possibilities makes it feel as though nothing is good enough—before you know it you've gone two months without purchasing so much as a lamp because you have to wonder if lamps are even necessary when you already have overhead lighting (yes) or if that 3×5 rug is big enough for your living room (no).
It is exactly light that can inspire comfort and warmth; or make the room feel cold even when the heating is on. The way how you position lights can also add/remove importance from your elements; or indicate the type of atmosphere you're trying to create for your guests.

I have just found this really interesting article. I think after reading this I have stopped moaning that tomorrow is Monday and it is back to work. My job is just fantastic!
Work is getting harder and harder to find these days. No matter what your area of expertise, the recession is sucking us all dry. With the abundance of jobs and skilled workers for those jobs, the situation is exacerbated. This was not the case in ancient times where some jobs were so repulsive that no one would want them – except the scum of society or those who had nothing to lose. This list looks at ten of them.
The nomenclator held a vitally important job. He was, effectively, a living-human-calendar cum address book. Now these days we have our iPhones, our Blackberrys, and all manner of digital devices to remember the people we are introduced to at meetings or (more embarrassingly) those we meet when we drink a little too much at a work party. We have all, no doubt, had that experience where we meet a person, take down their number and name, promise to contact them soon, and, in the sober light of day, wonder who the hell they are. The ancients had a much better way of dealing with this. They dragged a slave to their parties and forced him to remember the names and numbers. Now the most important difference between the iPhone and the nomenclator is that the nomenclator could tell you who the guy was, what you talked about, and whether he is worth contacting. He can also clarify whether that gorgeous lady you met was made gorgeous by beer googles or not. Frankly, if it weren't for an exorbitantly high minimum wage, we would all be better off tossing the iPhone and taking on a modern nomenclator. But alas, who would want the job? Who would want to be paid two bucks an hour to remain sober while everyone else was partying on down? Not me that's for sure! Having said that, just in case I am wrong and this job does appeal to some, if there is anyone living in the Wellington region who is looking for low-paid under-the-table work and wants to go to some great parties (whilst remaining sober), check out the Listverse About page and contact me.
Okay – be prepared for a sensitive topic. Recently we have had a rather unfortunate event wherein abortion was discussed on a list that caused quite the kerfuffle (it's an English word – find the definition here). You may wonder why I mention it but if you read on you will understand. A slaver was a gentleman (used in the most liberal sense of the word possible) who sold slaves – for work or pleasure. He would either travel behind armies (who were off fighting in battle) so he could capture the losers and sell them to rich Greeks as slaves, or (and this is where we connect up with the awkward list of the last few days), he would buy "unwanted" boys (but only the handsome ones) from parents so he could castrate them and sell them as lovers to wealthy Greek men who had a taste for young flesh. They provided (in rather a repulsive way) an alternative to adoption to those parents who didn't want their children. The downside to this (somewhat repellant) career choice, was that despite the demand for handsome young boys, the slavers were often murdered by those who didn't approve of their trade.
The job of a hairdresser (ornatrix) is so often looked down upon these days. And it was no less so in the ancient times. But honestly, a modern hairdresser really ought to appreciate her job – because she has it so much better now than ever in the past. Picture this: your imperial queen is balding and blonde, but the fashion this week is dark lustrous locks. If it were today, you would either shove a wig on the lady or glue in some extensions. This was, sadly, not an option for the work-weary ornatrix of days gone by. In order to provide your mistress with her coal-colored mane, you had to work with a mixture of bile, rotten leeches, and squid ink (the rotten leeches made for an especially rich black). But it gets worse. Occasionally fashion would demand blonde hair and your mistress is a natural brunette. There was no peroxide in those days. To give her a lovely golden hue you had to mix pigeon poop, and ashes together in the hopes that the chemical combination would strip out the healthy color of her hair. Oh – and to set the color – you had to pee on her hair. Worse still was being a slave with beautiful hair – this would often be cut from your head and fashioned into a wig for a rich harridan.

Wetlands and Aquatic Research Center - Florida
Cruise Log: 9/16/2009
First Impressions From a First Time Diver
Kaitlin Kovacs
I am unique to this trip because I have never been down in a submersible. Though I was told prior to the trip that I might have the opportunity to dive, I opted not to think about it, knowing full well that simply seeing the submersible operations first hand would be exciting in itself.
Imagine my surprise when I'm told two days ago that not only was I going down in the sub, but I was going on the first dive of the cruise AND to a site that hasn't been well visited, the West Florida Slope. I awoke this morning with anticipation and not knowing what to expect. I had never even seen the sub launched; I didn't know what the inside looked like; more importantly, I didn't know if I was going to suffer claustrophobia inside a small space for an extended period of time. So, at 8 AM, after a brief pre-dive meeting and sorting out which of the gear was going on the sub, I was assisted up into the stern of the sub with the co-pilot.
The front of the sub is a clear dome that allows not only the person sitting in the bow full vision of everything, but also everyone on the deck can see inside the bow. The stern, or back of the sub, has only two portholes and not much room for two people, so needless to say, interesting body contortions were necessary in the three and half hour dive to look out of the port holes.
But what a view.
When we reached the bottom, the sub began its trek across the floor, settling down at suitable sample spots to collect coral, crabs and other animals among the coral clusters, fish when possible (the catch of the day: a monkfish) and sediment in the form of tube cores and a mini box core. My responsibility was to record data, and while there is a video feed in the stern that is linked to the camera at the front of the sub recording the view, I was reliant on the scientist in the bow (in this case, my boss, Amanda) to describe what was being collected, how, and from where. I also had a video recorder to tape any interesting things outside of my windows and an audio recorder to act as back up to my written log and the audio recordings of the bow scientist.
For the most part, though, I had my face plastered to the starboard window, watching the under water world go by. I saw a ton of Lophelia coral, fish, and various benthic invertebrates, but also a shark and schools of squid that shot by (one of which inked right in front of my window after the stern took a picture). I didn't even feel as if I was deep in the ocean, but instead looking into a giant aquarium - there was no noticeable change in pressure except when the hatch was opened at the surface, sending my ears into a popping frenzy. I had to constantly look at the video screen to remind myself that, yes, I was over a thousand feet deep in the ocean.
I left the JSL with a red mark on my forehead from leaning on the port window, some sore knees, but a surreal look at something not many people get an opportunity to see.

SA Orchard is completely unfunded, we provide this library to the people of Africa in order to uplift and improve farming practices. Please make a donation to support this excellent training library.
Tree Care: A most important aspect of fruit production is to get a balance between reproductive and vegetative growth. A tree that is too vegetative is in a happy state, it's growing lots of leaves and shoots and it doesn't have the urge to produce offspring, or in other words, many seeds.
The opposite, a tree that doesn't grow, that is stunted, will produce lots of flowers. It has a strong preservation urge, it wants to produce lots of offspring before it dies. So to get this balance between vegetative and reproductive growth there are a number of techniques that the farmer can use.
Tree Care: In fruit production in the Western Cape, sunburn is a huge loss factor. Typically with a Granny Smith apple we will lose up to 40 percent of the crop to sunburn. It's a major loss. Once it gets just a hint of sunburn, just a little bit of yellowing, an apple is sent to the juicing factory where it gets only a third of the price that it would get as a desert fruit.
Tree Care: Over the past 20 years, techniques of training fruit trees to grow along wire trellises have been developed. The result is an increase in fruit per hectare and much easier management of the tree.
Tree Care: New trees should be in perfect condition when they are put into the ground. Trees that are suffering from a lack of water, or bruising or other damage can often give problems later, so check each tree carefully before it goes into the ground.
Tree Care: As a tree grows in an orchard it needs support. Wind can cause damage to the trunk and can also cause the tree to grow in the wrong direction. To prevent this from happening, the central leader of the young tree is supported.
Tree Care: Grafting and budding take place in an orchard when the farmer wants to change the variety of fruit borne by the trees. To change the variety of apple or pear, grafting will be used 99% of the time. To change variety for stone fruit, 50% of the time grafting will be used and the other 50% the budding technique will be used.

Prehistoric speedway
(Edmonton) A meat-eating dinosaur that terrorized its plant-eating neighbours in South America was a lot deadlier than first thought, a University of Alberta researcher has found.
Carnotaurus, a seven-metre-long eating machine, had a huge tail muscle that U of A paleontology graduate student Scott Persons says made it one of the fastest running hunters of its time.
Persons made a trip to a Los Angeles museum for a close look at a molded copy of a Carnotaurus skeleton. "The caudofemoralis muscle had a tendon attached to the dinosaur's upper leg bones," said Persons. "The combination of the muscle size and tendon would have given Carnotaurus' sturdy legs a highly energized forward motion."
In earlier research, Persons found a similar tail muscle and leg-power combination in the iconic predator Tyrannosaurus rex. "Up until then, many dinosaur researchers thought T. rex's huge tail might simply have served as a teeter-totter-like counterweight to its huge, heavy head," said Persons.
Persons' examination of Carnotaurus' tail showed that along its length, long rib-like bones could have supported a huge muscle. Persons used computer simulations to model the caudofemoralis muscle and says the heavy bone structure along the tail presented one drawback. "The tail was rigid, making it difficult for the hunter to make quick, fluid turns," he said.
"Imagine yourself as a small plant-eating dinosaur on the floodplains of prehistoric Argentina, and you are unlucky enough to find yourself being charged by a hungry Carnotaurus," Persons says. "Your best bet is to make a lot of quick turns, because you couldn't beat Carnotaurus in a straight sprint."
The study also shows that the specialized tail of Carnotaurus did not appear overnight. Rather, the research documents an evolving sequence of tail shapes beginning in smaller and more ancient South American predators. Persons' observation challenges previous theories that Carnotaurus was most closely related to large carnivorous dinosaurs from outside South America.
Carnotaurus, a distinctive looking meat-eating dinosaur because of the two horns on its forehead, is getting a lot of media attention. "It was featured the Disney movie Dinosaur, and it appearing in the current television series Terra Nova, which is airing this fall," said Persons.
Persons published these findings in PLoS ONE on Oct. 14 with supervisor Philip Currie, a paleontology professor at the U of A.

I have done many sessions for Lisa (mom) in the past, but this is the first time I had her whole family in front of my camera. It was an honor. These are the sweetest kiddos and did an awesome job taking pics! Mom and dad totally cracked me up when I was taking a pic of just them two 🙂 All the kiddos were behind me and I asked them to look at each other….and they both just cracked up laughing. It was hilarious 🙂 And sweet to see that in all the craziness they still had so much fun with each other.
I loved getting to spend this lovely afternoon with y'all, and getting to know each member of the family was a pleasure.

We're all agreed that Rocky's Crown Pub makes the best burgers in the history of the known and imagined universe. Sure, burgers are about all this Pacific Beach eatery does, but, man, nobody does 'em better, not even your mom, and especially not your second cousin. If there were no Rocky's, there may as well be, like, no sex or fooling around or anything. Then guess what would happen. The world's bloodlines would evaporate in a generation, all because one popular little eatery in a beachside San Diego neighborhood went belly-up.
And since Rocky's would be off-limits to humanity's last vestiges, a little place called The Menu might stand to absorb the clientèle, especially since it's right the heck next door. Everybody'll have to line up early, as breakfast is this place's stock in trade—but the wee hours will do you good for a change, and this place is eminently worth it. The breakfast torta ($7.50) is a Rocky's-size affair, comprising melt-in-your-mouth ham, eggs, salsa and cheese on a bread shell (the latter, compared with that at other joints, is refreshingly thick). My friend helped herself to the eggs Benedict, raving nonstop about the hollandaise, a traditional part of this entry (maybe it's the paprika, whose semi-fruity taste enlivens this hearty sauce). And check it out: The tables come equipped with their own little cups of Mexican hot sauce—kind of a homey touch in an equally lived-in setting.
Stockbroker Lemuel Benedict, after whom my buddy's breakfast is named, died in 1943—so he can't possibly get to the flaming-red building at 3784 Ingraham St., much less between 7 a.m. and 1 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and 7 a.m. and 2 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. You're warmly invited to breakfast in Lem's stead; failing that, you can take stuff out after calling 858-270-9999. For all the world, this place matches Rocky's pound for pound in its choice of fare—hurry on in while you can still procreate.

Food waste is a major problem. Turning food waste into animal feed can be part of the solution. One barrier to using food waste as animal feed is a lack of food packaging that meets food safety and quality requirements and that is digestible by animals.
To meet this need, the Animal Digestible Food Packaging Initiative aims to encourage the establishment of a public-private partnership to research and implement animal digestible food packaging. Contact us to get involved today!

"Chess teaches foresight, by having to plan ahead; vigilance, by having to keep watch over the whole chess board; caution, by having to restrain ourselves from making hasty moves; and finally, we learn from chess the greatest maxim in life – that even when everything seems to be going badly for us we should not lose heart, but always hoping for a change for the better, steadfastly continue searching for the solutions to our problems." -Benjamin Franklin
"When children have opportunities to develop executive function and self-regulation skills, individuals and society experience lifelong benefits. These skills are crucial for learning and development. They also enable positive behavior and allow us to make healthy choices for ourselves and our families."
from http://developingchild.harvard.edu/science/key-concepts/executive-function/
Chess is both an ancient practice and on the cutting-edge of modern education. One of the strengths of a chess programs is the idea of "stealth learning." Chess is perceived as a game, and therefore as a fun and recreational activity. This frames all the effort and attention the students give to the game as the spirit of play. Administration, parents and coaches should be mindful of this benefit and try to support it when contextualizing the program. Compared to a normal academic program, the goals set for each student are generally set by the students themselves.

The importance of seeking help
This is for sure the most personal story I have ever written and published on the internet. As an aspiring writer, photographer and a human being I try to capture people in the happiest and darkest moment of life. It is so important to me to connect with people, and to capture the raw and human aspect of living. We all go though situations in life that makes us feel alone. But the truth is, no matter how difficult the situation is, or how alone you feel, there is always another person that feels the exact same as you. I think it's so important that we are able to share who we are as individuales, and hopefully one person might see some of themselves in you. Maybe you are able to help one person by speaking out about the problems you are facing.
I want to tell you about how situations in your life might have permanent effects. For me it was resolved by the help of family and years of therapy. It has taken me three years to be able to share this personal story with you, but I know someone will benefit from this, and I feel like I have a duty to share this part of me. You are not alone, and I hope you realize that.
As with most stories, it might not be fully yours to share. My story involves people who would not like me to write about them. Therefore, I will only include what I need to tell the story.
Over the 18 years I have had on this planet, my life has been filled with moments of extraordinary happiness where a smile covers 2/3 of my face, but there has also been moments where I am laying in bed and tears slide down my face like silver. All are moments I want to share, to be real and to be human.
This is a part of me, few people have knowledge about.
My life has been quite magnificent, I have the most wonderful family where everybody loves to help each other. Majority of my memories is of my family playing games in our garden, laying on a beach during summer, watching movies and drinking coco when the snow is covering the streets. You could say I was your average crazy kid.
Once in 2007, this all changed. A member of my family was starting to act abnormal, making my family's previous harmony look like heaven. One night I did not have a care in the world, and the next I was scared and holding my sisters hand as we fell asleep in our warm beds. Within a three years, my days were filled with chaos and fear for what was going to happen next and calls to my grandparents asking for them to pick my sister and I up.
Do not get me wrong, I was in no physical danger, and we were still the loving family we had always been. With that said, as a result of all the trauma and chaos constantly around me, I started being very articulate about where everything in my room was laying. It was like there could have been a military inspection in my room any minute. If anyone were to even touch my cloths I would throw everything out, and fold them back in. Everything had its place.
Maybe you guessed it, but I was slowly developing OCD.
Most of you know probably know what OCD is, but for those who don't it stands for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. OCD is a mental illness and anxiety disorder that makes you have unwanted thoughts about the need to check things repeatedly, perform certain routines and you do this whether you want to or not.
People could not sit on my bed because the sheets would get wrinkled, and I had to put on my clothing in a certain way in order to feel "complete" and not stressed. As the little kid I was, I did not understand what was going on. For all I knew that was the normal way to behave. After my issues had gotten worse, my parents and the people around me noticed that I was always stressed when they came into my room. Therefore my mom decided to sit me down and she told me what she thought was going on with me. I ran into my room and cried for maybe an hour or so. After that, I went out and gave her a hug. Thank you for knowing me so well, I told her while I had a complete breakdown. We then decided to put me into therapy.
I started going to therapy in the hopes of curing me of this mental illness before it was too late, and luckily we did. When I went to the psychologist, we talked about possible reasons to why this was occurring, what was going on inside my head while I was practicing the rituals and what I could do to not "feed" the illness.
We came up with these answers: I started getting OCD as a way too keep my little room stress free, clean and organized in contrast to how the everything else in my life was. For once, I was able to be in control of something. As for what was going on inside my head, I still have no answer for that. But when I think back, I believe it was a voice inside my head telling me to do the movements in a distinct order. If I deared to do otherwise, I would not get the life I wanted and people would not like me. OCD is the kind of mental disorder that is so hard to "starve". There are constantly some aspects of it on your mind, and there is always something you can do better, organize, re-organize etc.
After months of therapy, I was getting better, majority of the rituals were gone. With that said, as with any mental disorder, there will always be traits and refleces with you.
Throughout the next few years, I would also be struggling with depression. I would not do myself any harm, that was never ever been an option for me. Talking about my problems and my life in general has always been my coping mechanism. No matter what I am facing, there is little I find hard to talk about, which makes it weird that it took me about three years to write this.
As stated in the beginning, I am not able to go too in depth about everything as it involves people I need consent from to share. It is truly a personal story, and for most of us it takes years to be able to share something personal. One of the main lessons I would like you to sit with after you have read this, is the importance of seeking help. Whether it is for OCD, depression or any other aspect of your life.
To move forward, you have to come to terms with your struggles.
Love, Nora Marie

The history of film, and certainly the history of Armenian film, did not begin in 2007, but my career as a filmmaker and film critic certainly did.
I made a list of films I had never seen – films I was too ashamed to admit to others – and started a personal film marathon. I would watch three films a day and write a brief review about them. I was digging deep into history and uncovering classic films. I started noticing trends in film movements, genres, and filmmaking styles. I also discovered something else, this time about myself. I discovered I enjoyed writing about films as much as I had enjoyed making them.
I launched a film blog and started writing film reviews soon thereafter. I was also accepted into the prestigious USC School of Cinematic Arts, which is when my life as an academic and professional began to take its form.
I have written and directed several short films, which have screened in numerous film festivals, including the Burbank International Film Festival and Columbia Gorge International Film Festival in Washington. I am also proud to have been part of this year's Arpa International Film Festival with my short film, The Armenian and the Armenian. The film is an experimental work based on William Saroyan's poem. The film has also been invited to screen at the Armenian Film Festival in Fresno, William Saroyan's hometown.
I have always had a strong interest in making films and writing about them as well. In fact, two of my favorite filmmakers, Jean-Luc Godard and François Truffaut, were film historians and critics, writing for Cahiers du Cinéma, before finally moving into cinema themselves. I joined the writing team at the Daily Trojan, USC's student-run newspaper, and began writing for their At the Movies blog. I have since made more films, written more articles and papers, and am co-teaching a class this semester on film at Woodbury University. I think of myself not only as a filmmaker, but as a film writer and scholar.
Yerevan Magazine provides a sense of identity and a voice for our people. I am honored to announce that I have joined their team and will be writing for a new cinema section known as From the Vault. I have a simple goal. I plan on rediscovering classic Armenian films and reintroducing them to our readers, as well as finding possible influences that these films have had on other filmmakers. This section will keep a balance between classic and contemporary films while exploring the Armenian culture.
There are a lot of Armenian films and filmmakers who have had a tremendous impact on cinema over the last hundred years. It's my job now to share their hidden treasures with our Armenian community.
This article was originally published for Yerevan Magazine on October 17, 2011.

Watch the video. You'll see that the victim, Walter Scott, was already running away when the cop Michael Slager, who said he "feared for his life", pulled out his gun and fired eight shots at Scott. You'll also hear a delay between a seven shot fusillade and then the last, and deliberately-aimed, eighth shot. And then, after handcuffing the dying murder victim, the murderer oh-so-casually plants evidence to "justify" the murder.
The reasoning behind the FBI's investigation becomes clearer when it was reported that a South Carolina grand jury indicted a cop, who had shot and killed an elderly black man, with "official misconduct".

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Shares of large Internet companies traded mostly on the downside Wednesday, led by Yahoo Inc., which fell after analysts at W.R. Hambrecht & Co. lowered their third-quarter revenue projections to $1.1 billion from $1.2 billion.
The adjustment, by Hambrecht analyst Denise Garcia, was due to Yahoo's recent disclosures that it's experiencing a slowdown in financial-services and automotive advertising.
Garcia also lowered her fourth-quarter estimates slightly and lopped off $300 million from her 2007 revenue forecast, which now stands at $5.6 billion, down from $5.9 billion.
Shares of Yahoo YHOO shed 1.6% to close at $24.65 a share.
The Garcia note weighed on shares of other major Internet players that rely on advertising to generate revenues, including Google Inc. GOOG, +0.42%, which ended the day down 1% to $402.92 a share.
Shares of Overstock.com Inc. OSTK, -0.47% fell 5.3% to $17.97 after Wedbush Morgan analysts cut their rating to sell from hold. They cited concerns about a slowdown in customer additions, which the analysts said is down about 14% when compared with the year-ago quarter.
The Dow Jones Internet Index DJI_DJINET finished the day down 1.4% at 89.03. Meanwhile, the technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite $COMPQ gained 0.1% to close at 2,263.39.
Shares of eBay Inc. EBAY, -0.05% traded down 2% to $27.12 Wednesday, buffeted by reports out of China that it's set to sell its Chinese divisions to competitor Tom Online Inc. TOM.O, -1.53% and exit a market where it's struggled to gain footing.
EBay was also the subject of a surprisingly positive review of its business by Citigroup analyst Mark Mahaney.
He told clients Wednesday that, due to recent promotions by eBay, he now expects eBay's auction listings to exceed his estimates for the third quarter, which closes in a few days.
Amazon.com Inc. shares AMZN, -0.24% shed 0.5% to $32.33 a share after the company was forced to upgrade its Unbox online video store to fix several problems -- including slow download speeds -- that customers have encountered since its launch a few weeks ago.
Amazon is also offering a $1.99 instant rebate to Unbox customers as compensation for recent problems.

Objectives. This study was designed to assess the angiographic and prognostic implications of an exaggerated systolic blood pressure response to exercise ("exercise hypertension") in adults undergoing evaluation for suspected coronary artery disease.
Background. The clinical implications of exercise hypertension are unclear.
Methods. Subjects for this prospective cohort study were derived from a consecutive sample of 9,608 adults who were referred for treadmill testing and who augmented their systolic blood pressure by at least 10 mm Hg. There were 594 subjects who underwent coronary angiography within 90 days of treadmill testing. Exercise hypertension was defined as a peak exercise systolic blood pressure ≥210 mm Hg in men and ≥190 mm Hg in women. Severe angiographic coronary disease was defined as left main coronary artery disease (≥50% diameter stenosis), three-vessel disease (≥70% diameter stenosis) or two-vessel disease with ≥70% diameter stenosis of the proximal left anterior descending coronary artery. All-cause mortality was assessed during a follow-up period of ∼2 years.
Results. Exercise hypertension was present in 196 subjects (33%). Severe coronary disease was less common in subjects with exercise hypertension (14% vs. 25%, odds ratio 0.51, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.32 to 0.81, p = 0.004). Exercise hypertension remained associated with a lower rate of severe coronary disease even after adjusting for rest hypertension, age, gender, exercise capacity and other possible confounders. During the follow-up period, there were 23 deaths; only 2 occurred in the group with exercise hypertension. After adjusting for severity of coronary disease, exercise hypertension remained associated with a lower mortality rate (adjusted relative risk 0.20, 95% CI 0.05 to 0.84, p = 0.03).
Conclusions. In adults evaluated for coronary artery disease, exercise hypertension is associated with a lower likelihood of angiographically severe disease and a lower adjusted mortality rate.
This study was presented in part at the 67th Scientific Sessions of the American Heart Association, Dallas, Texas, November 1994.

by the ECT's concern for Public Safety
Concern for Public Safety has always been a "Hot Button" here at the ECT.
The ECT's Goal Here – is to bring the current condition of this Eagle County Bridge to the attention of both CDOT and Eagle County's Road and Bridge department.
Bottom Line: The ECT folks are not comfortable with the current (22MAR2015) safety condition of this Rte. 6 Bridge (over Brush Creek) between Eagle and Gypsum.
This Bridge is on the part of Rte. 6 – we all drive on to get to the Costco and Eagle County's Regional Airport.
Any Reasonable Person – can insist that attaching a (protective guard rail) to a concrete barrier that is clearly in the process of decay – in an inherently UNSAFE thing to do.
How did things deteriorate to the point where a (highway safety professional?) thought it a good idea to even suggest bolting this guard rail to the concrete – as some sort of (temporary?) safety repair?
The ECT folks are not professionally qualified to articulate the current (22MAR2015) safety condition of the underneath concrete supports, that support the Steel I-Beams that constitute the bulk of this Bridge's load bearing capability. What concerns the ECT folks is – if this Bridge's (support undercarriage) has been maintained as well as the Bridges concrete guard rail…maybe it's time to encourage our Public School Bus Drivers (and everyone else) to consider using I-70 to get between Eagle and Gypsum…
Hopefully someone at both CDOT and Eagle County – Road and Bridge is willing to comment publically and advise the ECT and others of the current Safety Assessment – and their current (much needed) plan to improve it – this Spring 2015.

At its regular meeting on February 15, 2012, the Granville Village Council scheduled a public hearing and request for public comment on March 7, 2012 at 7:30pm in the Granville Village Council Chambers, 141 East Broadway, for the following:
Ordinance No. 01-2012, An Ordinance to Amend Section 1189 of the Village Codified Ordinances to Delete the TCOD Sign Code Provisions
This ordinance, is passed, would amend Section 1189.05, Table 1189(b) of the sign code impacting the Transportation Corridor Overlay District.
