When I previously wrote, I spoke of mostly personal topics because that's what this blog is meant to address. Currently, I'm in unbearable neurological pain of an unknown etiology which cannot be corrected surgically. I am getting a spinal cord stimulator to help. The trial phase is April 7th. Wish me luck!
While we are on the topic of pain, I'd like to discuss my experience with "Pain Clinics," since I've actually gone to one now. Sure they offer medication but never discuss the psychological component to pain. I am merely seen and treated as they treat every patient that comes through the doors. Some of their limitations are because of a new Indiana law that governs how pain clinics have to function in my state.
I am automatically assumed to be an addict
It is assumed that anyone who goes to a pain doctor is already a drug seeker and an addict and thusly treated. I've never been on medication except for post-surgical pain. This is the first time I've had to use medication to get through my day-to-day life. I get so nervous before every appointment because I know it will be like being in front of a judge. The amount of pain medicine a person uses is automatically assumed to be associated with an addiction.
My pain has gotten greater and greater as time has gone on and I really cannot wait for the stimulator. I am hoping that I will be able to be off the medications or greatly reduce them after I get it. The Pain Clinic I attend, (I'll soon be switching) made me sign an "Agreement." Some of the items I had to agree to, like I will check in every 3 months, are said to be because of the new law, but others are not. They are imposed by the Clinic I attend. For example, they will not call you back if you call. You can only discuss your issues at these set appointments. What happens if you have a reaction or run low on a medication because of other issues which arose that month? I recently had a kidney infection which was very painful and took weeks to diagnose. Because of my sacral agenesis and related complications, I'm so used to back pain that it was difficult for me to differentiate from flank pain until they did a specific test for it and a CT.
The doctor in my pain clinic treats all of the patients as if we are the same even though each of us come from different walks of life. Yes, I am aware of the abuse of the system – just like disability or any other process which is subject to fraud. But should the doctors really treat all patients in the same way regardless of their individual circumstances? I think not. I am not a problem patient, yet I feel so nervous and so judged when I see this doctor. Hopefully, I will end up with a new one who will want to partner with me while I transition to the spinal cord stimulator. My current doctor isn't really interested and just wants to see me or hear from me at appointment times for 5 minutes. I feel very victimized and scared and alone in my pain. No one can truly know how bad it is except me. I convey it upon deaf ears.
It's been a very hard time
It's been hard this time dealing with loneliness. But I take it minute by minute and by the grace of God I get through each day and then each night. He gives me the endurance to come out with hope and strong character. ord knows I have character, right?! I find my smile for those who cannot handle hearing about the suffering. It still always comes down to what others can handle so I find myself very isolated. That is why myh husband Mark and our golden lab Stella and my family give me comfort when they can. I find myself fighting tears daily, but find something to smile about instead. I don't deny my feelings and Mark is the strongest shoulder to lean on. God knew what he was doing when he matched us nearly 14 years ago. We truly balance one another.
But ask yourself, should a person feel the way I do because of laws that are passed which dictate how a doctor can treat or even the insurance companies' control? It's not right that the patient suffers beyond the physical pain. Everyone in the medical world knows there is a psychological component to pain. I had to see a psychologist as part of the process to be approved for the Spinal Cord Stimulator. This was to make sure I really was in pain. It baffles me and I think it's important. Through my tears I ask that you think on that, really think on that.
Thank you, dear readers, for listening and I hope you walk away questioning new laws and regulations being passed imposing adjunct treatment options. Also, growing up with Sacral Agenesis, I know what pain is. I have lived with it my whole life, but finally, my nervous system could no longer mediate the pain signals appropriately so the signals are going "haywire," sending unnecessary pain signals to the brain. The spinal cord stimulator is designed to mediate those signals and prevent the perception of pain in the brain. Essentially I won't feel the excess of pain I currently experience which is breaking down my spirit and causing a physical decline.
I usually sign off with a happy song since I'm the queen of optimism but today I sign off with another favorite by Simon and Garfunkel, "I Am A Rock," which describes my ultimate sense of loneliness and fear.
This is part of an on-going series of posts by Julie Hemker, a young woman born with sacral agenesis. When we last heard from Julie, she was recovering from a complex surgery to relieve severe pain related to complications of her condition. Things were looking up. Although we greatly missed her wonderful posts, we were delighted she was reveling in her return to normal life with husband Mark and good dog Stella. We are sorry to learn that she once is dealing with severe pain, but as Julie aways says, there is a silver lining – she is once more writing and sharing her story with us. Welcome back, Jules! We love you and wish you well.

Jeff Casey's kids were thrilled to discover presents from Santa Claus in the back of their truck on Christmas morning. It was six degrees outside. Don't miss Jeff's mods!
We are always envious of readers who tell us their parents took them truck camping when they were kids. They talk about piling into pickup trucks with nothing more than roll-down windows to cool off and and AM radio for entertainment. No GPS, no heated seats, no cell phones. Just family, the road, and memories to last a lifetime.
Today many families with children opt for larger forms of RVs. While they gain interior space, they lose the versatility of a truck camper including camping off-the-grid, parking on main street, and being able to stay in the driveways of family and friends. Of course everything is a tradeoff, and sometimes a family of five just can't work in a truck camper no matter how many slide-outs it has. Then again, sometimes they can. (links to Geisenhavers and Avalanche camper articles)
For the parents and grandparents out there who take their kids truck camping, it's an incredible gift you're sharing. Those lucky children are experiencing travel, adventure, discovery, and the sense of freedom and excitement only the road brings.
Speaking of lucky kids, Jeff Casey and his wife take their children truck camping in their 2012 CampLite 10.0 every chance they get. Winter, Spring, Summer, or Fall, they venture out from their Texas home base to explore state and national parks, walk through ghost towns, and take in the natural wonders of the wild west. If there's a school break or holiday on the calendar, Jeff finds a truck camping destination on the map and makes it happen. Something tell us the Casey kids might be reading Truck Camper Magazine, in 2020.
Above: Jeff's 2011 Dodge 2500 and 2012 Camplite 10.0 in Marfa, Texas
TCM: How did you get into truck camping?
Jeff: I had a travel trailer before I got into truck camping. The problem was that I couldn't go where I wanted to go with the trailer. Specifically, I wanted to drive off-road and onto the soft sand at the beach. Towing a trailer, I would get stuck.
With our truck camper, I can go anywhere. That's what turned me onto our CampLite 10.0. With the all-aluminum and wood-free construction, I can drag a tree limb down the side of the camper and I'm not going to tear it up. She is going to see a tough life.
Our very first trip was to Rockport-Fulton Beach. That was a two-day deal to get our feet wet. Then we went to Padre Island National Seashore.
When you cross the bridge and head south, you are actually going to North Padre Island. There is seventy-five miles of undeveloped, unmaintained beach. It's all beach travel and at your own risk. Every mile you drive down the beach you have to turn around and drive back out. It's a great place if you really want to get away from everything.
Above: Jeff Casey fishing at Steadman's Reef, Port Aransas, Texas
TCM: That does sound interesting. What does it cost to get onto the island?
Jeff: The annual permit is $25. They groom the beach for the first four to five miles and you can drive almost any vehicle in that area. After that there's a sign that only four-wheel drive vehicles are permitted to pass. At that point you also lose cell service. You're really on your own. There are fisherman down there, and people go out and tent camp.
At the 17 mile mark is Little Shell Beach. The beach there is covered with small shells. At mile 27 is Big Shell where you go from quarter-inch shells to one and two inch pieces of shell. Once you're down that far, your nearest neighbor might be two miles away.
Above: Camping on North Padre Island, Texas
TCM: Wow. That sounds incredible. Are there any amenities nearby?

Even people in the church get into the drama. Juanita Bynum and Bishop Weeks divorce is finalized. It has been well reported that Mr. Weeks gave a beat down on Mrs. Bynum. I am sure many people have all sorts of opinions about this but when it comes to family matters (wasn't that a TV show? lol) you never know what is going on behind the scenes.
Its Big Willie Time
Will Smith, a person I am very interested in meeting and talking to, just did his thing at a preview for his new movie Hancock. It also looks like he got a sweet kiss that just maybe will get him in trouble lol. But about with that, the real question is when will Will Smith run for president?
Young Buck Not Getting His Bucks
Another Bossip find, it looks like YB has some problems with how he didn't get his money yet (he is looking for his royalty checks). He blabs about what he feels is going on and why. I don't pretend to know all of the info on this but from what I read from The Takeover fo (by La'Foy Orlando Thomas III), he would have to have sold more than 400,000 albums before he even saw a dime (and that all depends on what his contract said and how much money they gave him for his advance).

The Zoid Eve is a location and device featured in Zoids: Guardian Force, and sought after by various characters throughout Zoids: Chaotic Century.
The Zoid Eve is an Ancient Zoidian relic found in the ancient city of Evopolis, which is buried in the Valley of the Rare Hertz. It is the power source of all Zoids, and its functionality directly affects that of all Zoids on Planet Zi. It was sealed and powered-down by the Ancient Zoidians when the Death Saurer went berserk in the ancient past.
This, in turn, allowed them to seal the otherwise unstoppable Zoid, though it also led to the other remaining Zoids losing some of their power, as well. The Zoid Eve does not appear in any other anime series, nor is any reference made to it (though locations near it are mentioned in Zoids: New Century Zero). It is noteworthy, however, to mention that Reggel is stated to be the power source for Zoids in Zoids: Genesis.
Chaotic CenturyEdit
Fiona mentions Zoid Eve in passing, and Van, trying to recover her memory, seeks out this mysterious place, knowing nothing about it but its name. This started off his journey and hence, the whole series. Gunther Prozen, however, was the only one who actually knew anything about the Zoid Eve, and he expended a great deal of effort in (covertly) researching and excavating ruins across Zi, eventually resulting in the resurrection of a cloned Death Saurer.
Guardian ForceEdit
The Zoid Eve is finally shown in full in the climax of Guardian Force, when Prozen, fused with the Death Saurer's still-alive Zoid Core, took Fiona and made her utter the password to the Ancient Zoidian city of Evopolis. This password was revealed to be "Fiona" (her actual name is "Elisi Linette", Fiona is the name given to her by Van in the previous series, when he mistook the password for her name), and it revived the Zoid Eve. It also revived the Death Saurer, which fused with the Zoid Core of the Death Stinger, and became far more powerful than the previous clone employed by Prozen. This prompted Fiona to try and use Zeke, along with her Ancient Zoidian heritage, to destroy the Zoid Eve, thus killing every Zoid on Zi, including the rampaging Death Saurer. While this would save the humans, Van felt this too great a price to pay, and came up with a different strategy. He is ultimately able to defeat the Death Saurer by firing his Blade Liger out of the Ultrasaurus' Gravity Cannon.
Rare HertzEdit
Surrounding the Zoid Eve is a mysterious electromagnetic field called the Rare Hertz. The Rare Hertz disrupts Zoids and causes them to go out of control. To prevent this loss of control, pilots can install a device called a "Pulse Guard". Organoids, however, lack this Pulse Guard, and thus can go rogue when exposed to the Rare Hertz.
In the Chaotic Century Manga, the Zoid Eve is depicted as being an ancient Zoid that is the ancestor of all Zoids. If a Zoids family tree was traversed, tracing the "parents" of every Zoid, it would eventually end at the Zoid Eve. The manga ends before the Zoid Eve makes a physical appearance.

Named for where it was first discovered, the Key West Quail-Dove used to breed in south Florida and the Florida Keys, but now is only a rare visitor to the United States. This species is much more common in the Bahamas, Puerto Rico, and the Greater Antilles, excluding Jamaica. The Key West Quail-Dove forages on the ground for fruits, insects, and seeds. Preferred habitats include semi-arid and humid woodlands, scrub, and forests. The Key West Quail-Dove's population is believed to be stable and has not merited consideration for any threatened species lists.

Open perseverance: the sensemaking narrative of startup entrepreneurs
AbstractThe irruption of startups and entrepreneurs has transformed the economic landscape. Entrepreneurs propose innovative business models that must progressively respond to the viability triad, the complex and uncertain process by which an idea becomes a product. Based on the theoretical and practical contributions of Dervin's sensemaking methodology, the objective of this study is to understand the narrative of entrepreneurs in their creation of meaning, identify the uncertainties, identify the practices used to address these uncertainties, and thus obtain a deep knowledge of the sensemaking mechanisms. The results of 43 interviews with entrepreneurs are presented in the form of a narrative composed of four stages and three major gaps, illustrating the practical ways in which entrepreneurs overcome uncertainty and create metastable sense.

Between Elbe and Alster rivers
The opening of the much-anticipated Herzog & de Meuron-designed Elbphilharmonie in November 2016 provides reason enough to (re-)visit Hamburg. Part of HafenCity, a development project that is increasing the city center by 40 percent in size, the 360-foot-tall glass structure on top of an old warehouse with a roof resembling sails and this northern city's maritime past.
Not only architecture, also hotel openings are adding to the excitement of the city. The Fontenay will open later this year, the first five-star hotel in Hamburg in 18 years.
From the noble inner-city to squawking seagulls and a cool breeze at the Binnenalster.
- Kölln Haferland: Taking a break from walking through the city, we stumbled upon this concept store from Kölln - create your own Müsli to take home or enjoy a coffee and snack from the Deli. Plan ahead if you want to book a baking class which they offer for 15-20 participants.
- coast enoteca: Located directly on the "coast" of the Elbe, this restaurant offers two dining experiences. The entry level 'coast by east' offers Seafood and Sushi. On the lower ground 'coast enoteca' offers views onto the Elbphilharmonie paired with candle light, red wine and Italian antipasti. Make sure to book ahead, especially on weekends.
- Oberhafen Kantine: An iconic tilted building in the Hafencity serving up authentic and seasonal food, perfect for lunch.
- ABC-Viertel: From 19th century brick townhouses with red facades and white art nouveau fin-de-siècle to glass and modern-era chrome-architecture; this quarter creates its own appeal.
- Flamant: Beautiful inspiration for your home encompassing a broad design spectrum. All pieces are created using natural quality materials sourced from small workshops all over the world.
- Miniatur Wunderland: One of Germany's biggest tourist attractions and probably the most nerdy thing to do. Discover the model railway in miniature Hamburg, Scandinavia, Italy and and a tiny airport. When you look closely you find quite humorous scenes, if not for being extremely crowded you could spend a whole afternoon here.
SIDE: Surely an impressive lobby with a glass atrium reaching up to the 8th floor by architects Jan Störmer and Robert Wilson. Interiors by Milan designer Matteo Thun offset a warm aesthetic with soft colors. Located close to Jungfernstieg guests and locals enjoy the (m) eatery bar + restaurant, the spa and the rooftop terrace in summer.

Most articles you examine business have been written by freelance writers who have no enterprise experience and do not know of what they're speaking about. Potential challenges: This business has plenty of competitors, a problem whenever you're beginning out. If you've bought the knack in coaching canine and you absolutely understand their behavior, response, how they suppose and what not, you may need to put up your canine coaching business. Investment: The startup prices should be low; you will must create a website and promote your enterprise. We all have fair ideas about what herbs and oils are nice for physique and skincare. Home supply of liquor is a rising business thought in India that prospers 24/7 x 365.
I learned this the hard approach when I determined to start out a freelance business a number of years ago to offer my freelance content advertising services. Generally thought of a seasonal business idea, portray exteriors and interiors of buildings and houses is booming in India. This business entails masonry and different aspects associated to buildings and homes.
If you wish to step your Amazon selling recreation up, take a look at this detailed information to Amazon and eBay retail arbitrage on Entrepreneur featuring an interview with Julie Becker and several other dropshippers who've grown this home based mostly enterprise idea from side hustle into a profitable money-maker.

I'm seeking to start a enterprise in Warangal, Nalgonda (telangana) with a investement of rupees 150000/-. This is among the most lucrative business ideas you can begin right here in the Philippines.
Many of the world's most successful entrepreneurs struggled with this after they needed to start out a business for the first time while they still had a day job. Using your abilities for profit is a common pattern with all of the best facet hustle concepts. Funny factor that many individuals's finish purpose is to put up companies but only few of them (one among which is you) are literally taking action within the planning process what enterprise to begin. Pick & drop service is one other type of enterprise that combines modern know-how with our constant want for extra time.

Chapter Six
A steamy handprint glowed against the shower glass, while Lucy and Kenny enjoyed a hot morning together. She moaned, and he reminded her why she couldn't get enough of him. She missed Luke, but she messed up. Luke couldn't begin to understand what the kidnapping, and continuous stalking did to her emotionally; he knew how beautiful a person she was, but she was in deep pain. Kenny was her escape into a sensual and thrilling world; it was a world free from torture and caution. She was giving Luke space though, and with Omisha stalking her every move, she had Kenny by her side (and on top of her) to ensure she wasn't alone. He was more than just sex…she would always love Kenny. Commitment, unfortunately wasn't his strong suit, and Lucy craved stability. She was like diving head first into the deep end, with no regrets. Kenny swam through her waters, but the deep end was far too mysterious for him. There were moments when she felt as though he was her boyfriend, but those moments were like catching a glimpse of a shooting star…fleeting and rare.
After losing her management job, Lucy began to drown in bills and late fees. The once carefree girl was struggling to smile and stay afloat. She was working as a bartender and received nice tips from lonely men, but she was exhausted. Late nights and low cut shirts became her lifestyle.
"Can I get some more Cuervo sweetheart?" An attractive man asked.
As she leaned over the bar to hand the stranger another shot of something strong, a familiar face appeared in front of her. The smoke filled bar became a blur, and the song playing in the background drowned out the noise of drunken fools. Luke stood there with his amazing grin and she melted, as always. She yelled to her boss that she was taking her break. She followed Luke outside, and into a small courtyard; they sat side by side, inhaling one another. He smelled like springtime and she smelled like temptation. He turned to look at her and she smiled brightly. When Lucy smiled the rest of the world was put on pause, and Luke could feel himself falling into a beautiful, unknown story.
"I've missed you Lucy. I want you back, babe," Luke said with a sincere tone.
"I've missed you so much. I'm an idiot for what I did," Lucy confessed.
"How much have you missed me?" Luke asked with a flirtatious stare.
"Will you sleepover tonight so I can show you?" She questioned, as she leaned in for a kiss.
"I'll be there beautiful." He grabbed her soft face and kissed her intensely. There was something about her that made him feel better than he ever had before.
Lucy sat on the sofa wearing nothing but a lace slip, waiting for Luke to come over. She had a bottle of wine in hand and smelled of Chanel No. 5, naturally. It was the type of night which required expensive perfume. The doorbell rang and she rose up, exposing her bare legs and black, high heels. Her brown hair flowed behind her, featuring her natural beach curls. As she opened the door Kenny stumbled in, smelling of a liquor store. He grabbed her and pushed her up against the door, slamming it shut. She tasted like Merlot and her red lips looked enticing. She pushed him off of her and placed her hand on his shoulder.
"Kenny, I told you I'm back with Luke. What're you doing here?" She asked loudly.
"Lucy, I'm a fool. I want to be more than just sex to you. I want to make a real commitment." Kenny swallowed hard. He had surprised even himself with those words. Lucy fell silent for a moment. She had waited years to hear him say that to her.
"I love you, but I've committed to Luke and I'm not going to let him down," she explained with honest eyes.
"You're a good girl, but with me you can be bad. I allow you to be free and wild. Won't you miss that?" He wondered.
"I already do. But, I'm still your friend. I'm not going anywhere love," she reminded him. She looked into his eyes and felt him fading away. He felt something he never knew he had, break…his heart.
"I know. I'm sorry I bothered you tonight. I hope he brings you happiness and sleepless nights, and I hope he…" Kenny said, before leaning in towards her neck and biting it. She let herself feel the way he always made her feel, as her eyes rolled back.
"You're never a bother. You can come see me whenever you want, but Luke should be here soon."
Kenny stood there feeling overwhelmed with emotions and drunk. He put his rough hand on her face and kissed her, for what felt like the last time. She pulled away slowly and he kissed her forehead, before disappearing into the night. She was his beautiful nightmare, but he refused to wake up. Luke arrived and was happily surprised to see his girl standing there with very little on. She pulled him onto the couch and kissed him repeatedly. They drank wine and watched a movie, and in the middle of it Lucy turned to face him. The movie played loudly in the background, but she didn't seem to notice the climax taking place on the screen in front of her.
"What's going on in that pretty head of yours baby?" Luke questioned.
"I'm so in love with you," she told him. He beamed and placed her hand in his. His touch felt safe and comfortable.
"I love you Lucy. You make me so happy."
"I'm stressed and struggling with money, I am being stalked by a demented psychopath, and those I thought would be there for me through everything have left me all alone, but sitting here with you feels so right. When I'm with you I forget all about my pain, fears, and doubts. I'm sorry I'm not perfect, but you make me feel as though I am. I don't know a lot, but I know that I love you. I love you deeply," she said with a dramatic exhale.
"I love you too baby girl. You walked into my life unexpectedly and shook it up, and I mean that in the best way. You're the simplest part of me and I will do whatever it takes to keep you safe and happy. Life will never be easy, but I promise that I won't ever make it any harder for you," Luke replied with a kiss.
The bar illuminated behind her as Lucy drove home, and there was an unsettling feeling in the air. She arrived home to find what appeared to be blood smeared on the floor. Nervously, she fumbled for her phone. A pain enveloped her whole body and fear flooded her mind; Luke didn't answer the phone, but Kenny did. She followed the red, disturbing markings on the floor into her kitchen. Kenny answered and she cried to him, but he couldn't understand the poor girl. The nude colored wall ahead of her was decorated with red lettering. Omisha left her a message, "Remember darling, I own your heart". Lucy threw a wine glass at the wall and it shattered dramatically. Kenny drove to her, panicked.
When Kenny arrived Lucy was on her knees, scrubbing the floor and reassuring Luke that she was safe. Her hand shook as she held the phone to her ear. She looked up at Kenny, who was admiring her casual appearance and bare face. She hung up with Luke and Kenny knelt down next to her. He pulled her in for a hug, but she began to cry when she realized her hands were stained red. Kenny forced her to stand up and face the deafening music; he put his hand on her face and she focused on him. He stared into her soft eyes and removed the sponge from her hand; Kenny led her into the kitchen and gasped when he read the wall.
"I'm going to clean this mess up, my dear. I will make you some dinner and then you're going to go upstairs and rest. When is Luke going to be home?" Kenny spoke.
"He has a late night tonight, helping a friend move into their new home. I told him I'm fine and not to rush home," Lucy said with a blank look in her eyes.
"Why did you lie to him?"
"I'm fine, Kenny."
"Why are you lying to me? It's me," Kenny replied firmly.
"Please, just get me drunk," she whined.
Kenny opened up her wine fridge and poured her a glass of Merlot. He cooked her dinner, but by the time the food was ready she was drunk. She had no appetite, but she ate the thoughtful meal her friend prepared for her. They laughed and consumed two bottles of expensive wine, which meant Lucy was feeling frisky and tired. He carried her upstairs and ordered her to take a hot bath. She clung to him and undressed; Kenny watched her clothing fall to the carpet, and he couldn't help but fall weak when she smiled. She giggled and he pulled her into his warm embrace, but he didn't kiss her. He knew she was an emotional wreck and was missing Luke. She grabbed a towel, looked back at Kenny, and headed into the bathroom. Kenny sat on her bed, flipping through the glossy pages of a magazine on her nightstand. Suddenly, an Oscar worthy, horror movie scream echoed from the bathroom and Lucy fell into her bedroom, with tear soaked eyes. She was panting, and when Kenny appeared by her side she could do nothing but point, as her whole body trembled. He entered the bathroom, slowly and in the tub was a pool of blood, and what he believed was a human heart. The heart existed, as did the bathtub filled with blood, but Kenny remained as calm as possible for Lucy as if it was all a bad dream. She wrapped her naked body in a silk robe and crawled into bed. The cops were called and the organ found in the bathroom was indeed a human heart. Who it belonged to was another mystery for the local police department, who had failed miserably at solving the murder of Liam, and finding an end to Omisha's brutal stalking. They offered Lucy around the clock surveillance on her home, and promised to position a police officer in front of her house, indefinitely. She nodded but couldn't speak even a fragment.
Lucy's handsome knight in shining armor rushed through the door to find his girl in a state of shock. The cops had faded away, but there was a man with a gun posted in front of her cozy house. The policeman didn't comfort her, but the touch from Luke's strong hands did. Kenny said goodnight and Luke put his lover to bed. Omisha flipped through a scrapbook of Lucy that night, filled with photos and keepsakes. The stalker looked down at a photo of the beauty smiling on the beach and touched it, delicately. The game was far from over, but Lucy's flame was burning out.

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Biotech companies Immunex and Affymetrix posted third-quarter financial results that exceeded analysts' expectations.
Immunex Corp. imnx reported a profit, driven by strong sales of its rheumatoid arthritis drug Enbrel, while Affymetrix affx reported a narrower-than-expected loss.
Immunex said net income rose to $21 million, or 12 cents a share, reversing a year-ago loss of $4.9 million, or 3 cents a share. Revenue more than tripled to an all-time high of $152.4 million, from $49.2 million, the company said.
Analysts expected Immunex to earn 10 cents in the quarter, according to First Call. Immunex stock rose 6 13/16, or 16.1 percent, to 49 1/16 in recent trading. Sales of Enbrel, which was launched last November, totaled $102 million. So far this year, Enbrel sales add up to $248.6 million.
"Record revenues are generating increased profits and increased investment in our expanding pipeline of new product opportunities -- which is the essential element for achieving sustainable, long-term growth,'' Ed Fritzky, Immunex chairman and CEO, said in a statement.
Immunex is also developing drugs that treat asthma, leukemia and other forms of cancer. Immunex's other products include Leukine, which is used to treat bone marrow transplant patients, and Novantrone, which treats acute non-lymphocytic leukemia and pain associated with prostate cancer.
Santa Clara, Calif.-based Affymetrix, which makes products that identify, analyze and manage genetic information, said its third-quarter loss was $5.2 million, or 21 cents a share, compared to a loss of $5.7 million, or 25 cents in the same quarter a year ago. Wall Street expected the company to lose 27 cents in the quarter, according to First Call.
Revenue rose to $26.2 million from revenue $15.0 million.
The company's stock rose 3 7/16, reversing an earlier decline, to 101 1/2. Shares of other biotechnology stocks, meanwhile, were lower. The fell 6 percent to 243.15, while the slipped 5 percent to 575.07.
Variations in a gene's normal sequence and expression can signal hereditary and environmental diseases such as cystic fibrosis and cancer, according to Hoover's Inc. Affymetrix's GeneChip analyzes variations in genetic material to determine the effectiveness of treatments in experimental settings.
Affymetrix said demand for its GeneChip technology continued to grow in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and academic communities.
"There's a revolution in the study of genetics that's feeding the need for gene expression analysis," said A. Paul Boni, an analyst at Punk, Ziegel & Co.
"What's particular in the numbers today is that Affymetrix customers are shifting demand toward standard chips, away from custom-designed chips that are more expensive and take longer to make," he said. Affymetrix is in position to benefit from this trend and from economy of scale in its gene-chip operations, Boni said.

Viramune Uses
Viramune is licensed to treat HIV and AIDS in adults and children. By attaching to a special protein in the body and stopping DNA from being made, the drug can prevent HIV from multiplying. Currently, there are no universally accepted "off-label" (unapproved) uses.
Viramune® (nevirapine) is a prescription medication approved to be used in combination with other medications to treat HIV and AIDS. It is part of a group of medications known as non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs).
Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) was initially reported in the United States in 1981. Since then, it has become a significant worldwide epidemic. AIDS is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). At first, an HIV infection usually does not cause any obvious symptoms (see HIV Symptoms), and most people have no idea that they have been infected with HIV (unless they happen to be tested for HIV). However, by killing or damaging cells of the body's immune system, HIV will eventually begin to progressively destroy the body's ability to fight infections and certain cancers (see AIDS Symptoms).
HIV is commonly spread through sexual contact with an infected partner. HIV transmission also happens through contact with infected blood, which frequently occurs among IV drug users (who share needles or syringes contaminated with blood from someone infected with the virus). Women with HIV can transmit the virus to their babies during pregnancy, birth, or breastfeeding.
Viramune is not intended to be used alone. Instead, it is used as part of an HIV "cocktail." These cocktails usually consist of three or four (or sometimes five) different HIV medications (technically known as highly active antiretroviral therapy, or HAART). Using combinations of medications helps to prevent the virus from becoming resistant to one or more of the drugs.
Viramune can damage the liver, and studies suggest this is more likely in people with high CD4 cell counts (high levels of certain immune cells). Viramune should not be started in women with CD4 cell counts higher than 250 cells/mm3 or in men with CD4 cell counts higher than 400 cells/mm3.

Melanin and Makeup | Holiday 2017 Wish List/
Okay so I wasn't planning on doing a wish list just because I didn't want to be all about the consumerism. That however did not stop my interest in purchasing certain products. Reading about other peoples wish lists in r/muacjdiscussion didn't help either. There were a few items that I had in the back of my head from August or so when I first started hearing about them, but with the release of some holiday products the list has grown larger faster than I expected it to. I thought about going by product but I may just sort it out by brand.
I've heard great things about Tarte's blushes and since I love blushes and am ever on the look out for more to add to my collection, seeing the selection that they've released as me in a tizzy. They've got 3 different blush products out and I want them all. Is it too much and excessive, yes of course it is. It doesn't stop me from wanting them though. The thing that I love is that this year most if not all of the colours look like they'll work for me skin tone, which isn't the usual for Tarte.
Big Blush Book Volume III $78
This has 7 full sized blushes and a highlighter, so the overall value is great. The blushes are also removable, so you don't have to store it in the big oversized circle, you can transfer it to a magnetic palette and be good to go.
Limited-edition Blush Bliss Palette $51
First off the packaging for this is beautiful, it reminds me Moroccan architecture and once again the colours look vibrant and pigmented which is what I look for in a blush. It does me no good if the blush doesn't show up on my skin tone or looks ashy when it does.
Limited-edition Blush Bazaar Palette $57
So this set contains 10 deluxe sized blushes and highlighters, which look like they would look great on my skin. Reviews so far have been good. The pans aren't removable as far as I know but still this palette looks so good. I get excited just looking at it.
Kat Von D
Okay so when I first saw photos of the Saint and Sinner palette I was less than impressed, it didn't look like anything special to me. The colours looked basic and I wasn't enthused with the inspiration of the palette. I prefer my makeup without and religious connotations. However after I saw her swatch video I started to reconsider my decision and became very interested. I'm going to wait just a bit to see some unbiased reviews and swatches, I'm hoping Temptalia gets a hold of it and can give her take on the quality and pigmentation. But it's in my scope.
Saint and Sinner Palette
Kat's holiday palettes are always extravagant in their packaging and this palette is no different. Shaped like a stained glass window that is often found in churches and cathedrals this guy is going to take up space, at least vertically. The palette itself is a good mix of neutrals and colour and with a couple different shadow finishes it makes it really interesting.
For the past couple of years Hourglass as come out with a face palette. It's usually got less product than one full sized ambient face powder, is hella expensive with nice or semi-nice packaging and geared towards those with lighter skin tones. This year I'm hoping that if anything changes it would be that the palette is wearable for deeper skin tones as well.
Holiday 2017 Rose Gold Limited Edition $95
This year the packaging is rose gold and it does look a little more luxe than some from previous years. The palette this year contains, ambient lighting powders, one of their bronzers and a couple blushes. Out of all 6 of the products in the palette I'm pretty sure that the bronzer won't be deep enough for me, who knows though maybe it will work as a highlight. So far the swatches provided by the company don't look as promising as I was hoping, a few of the shades did look a bit ashy. Again I'll be waiting to see what Temptalia and others have to say, if it's available in store I'll try and swatch it myself. After all these powders aren't meant to be piled on just a gentle sweep or two.
Holiday 2017 Limited Edition Ambient® Metallic Strobe Lighting Palette $75
I know that I always say that I'm not the biggest highlighter fan, but some how I'm still drawn to them. I've seen this palette mentioned by a youtuber and she really liked it. However she is very fair so I don't know how these shades would work on my skin tone. They do look a wee bit ashy in official swatches the brand provided but I hope that application on the skin is much better.
So that's it, these are the items that I'm lemming for this holiday 2017 season.
What's on your wish list?

I remember a recent note to a friend; "I wish for you the curiosity of a child chasing butterflies by day and fireflies by night." She liked what I wrote. I thought about using this theme to write a poem, wrote a draft and went to bed. I tossed and turned wondering, "where are the fireflies this year?" I hadn't seen even one and wistfully looked from my bed into the darkness, hoping to see the light of a firefly. Drifting in an out of sleep, my mind still on memories of driving home on June evenings and catching sight of them, stopping to watch the fairy lights flicker in the wetland meadows. Feeling disappointment, blaming environmental changes, I drifted off to sleep
Seemingly without a reason, within an hour, I awoke to a spot of light high on the ceiling. One spot of light, a reflection I thought. Perhaps the moon illuminating something in the room. Then it moved, it flickered its' light, flittering about the ceiling and wall. Half asleep I smiled, mesmerized as I watched the one fairy light flutter its' brightness. The five year old part of me was thrilled, I wished for a firefly and like magic she came to me. Mesmerized, I basked in her glow of how good life can be.
Then, as always, I found the need to break the magic spell. Don't ask me why. I turned on the light.
Above my head on the ceiling was a black bug. O, yes, it was the firefly but the adult part of me after midnight only saw a black bug looking down on me.
The firefly I wished for now was a problem.
I laid awake staring up at her while contemplating possible solutions, none of which seemed appealing.
I turned off my light, she turned on hers and I, in the glow of fairy light, fell asleep.

Over on the Chicago Sun Times prolific tech columnist and podcaster Andy Ihnatko has written some 2000+ words to cover yesterday's WWDC 2012 Keynote. As always he does a great job of touching on all the important details as well as throwing in the occasional informed commentary. Over the coming weeks and months I would expect to see a fair amount of additional commentary on and reviews of all the products announced today. Typically I think he is spot on with his assessments of Apple and technology in general. This article is no different.
You will find his article over on the Chicago Sun Times website, or you can just click on the link below. I'm sure he will be writting simillar articles on the upcoming Google developers conference and Microsoft has one near year's end that will complete the picture of what the big three have planned for 2013.

Communication can be tricky, especially when you need to let a guy know you like him. Even though the mere idea of expressing your feelings can make you nervous, it doesn't have to be a scary endeavor. When you keep your calm, you can still manage to get the right words out. It doesn't take much to take the fear out of telling a man you like him.
Step 1
Use body language to let a man know that you like him romantically. Hold his gaze with your eyes, or flash a dazzling smile in his direction. Orienting your body toward him gives the impression that you're directly engaged, compared to if you're turned to the side, which may express more aloofness than you desire.
Step 2
Express intense interest by focusing all of your attention on him. Appeal to his ego and make him feel as though he's the most important man in the world. Men like to feel special, too, so let him know that you're engaged with what he's saying by doing some active listening and smiling as you're talking to him.
Step 3
Send signals of your romantic interest in him by flirting. Lightly touching his hand or laughing at his jokes lets him know that you're definitely into him. Flirting lets him know that you're really attracted to him.
Step 4
Create an opportunity to be alone together. You have a lot of options. You can have a meal together, such as a brief lunch or a more intimate dinner. When you're alone with him, it's easier to feel calm enough to express your feelings for him.
Step 5
Be lighthearted about it. Tell him that you think you're interested in him romantically - tell him why, and just leave it at that. Don't stress over it or worry about saying the right words. The more calm you are, the more he knows that you're really into him.
Step 6
Wait until the right moment to talk about your romantic interest in him. If he's busy or preoccupied, you might want to forego talking about your feelings. Wait until you both have time to sit down and talk about how you feel about him.
Step 7
Remember that either way, you will learn from this experience. If he returns your affection, it could be the start of a great romance; if not, it's better to know now rather than pining over Mr. Wrong, when Mr. Right is out there somewhere.

EUGENE, Ore. -- A member of the Lane Community College school board is up for re-election.
As a member of the school board, Lisa Fragala is tasked with overseeing the success of the college which Mayor Lucy Vinis said is vital for the success of the community.
"LCC is of critical importance to our community, both as a source of education and as an economic driver for our community," Vinis said.
Fragala is a second-grade teacher at Adams Elementary School in Eugene. After a board member stepped down last year, she was apointed to the LCC school board. She attended LCC to pursue a degree in education and she now sees being on the board as a way to give back to the community.
"What it means to me is that I get to serve in a capacity that makes sure everybody has the ability to reach their full potental," Fragala said. "No matter what type of student you are. No matter what part of the community you come from. I see it as part of my values and my commitment to make sure eveyone can reach their full potential no matter who they are."
An event on Sunday attracted dozens of people from all over the community, who were there to support and donate to Fragala's re-election. She is running on a platform that aims to embrace innovation, ensure student success and sustain regional economic vitality.
Fragala's seat, as well as three others, are up for election in the Lane County special election happening in May.

STOCKBRIDGE, Ga. – Led by an even-par 72 from sophomore Chloe Howard, the Georgia State women's golf team shot a second round 308 to move into 10th place following two days of the 26th annual John Kirk Panther Intercollegiate at Eagle's Landing Country Club.
Howard made four birdies during the second round to move up into a tie for 22nd at 8-over par.

Chris' dad and stepmom, Melvin and Barbara, came to town last week. (That's why I took a break from posting. My schedule was much different than normal.) They wanted to meet Cooper and see Cadence as a 2-yr old. We love it when we get family to come visit us (and we love when we get to visit family at their homes too.) Chris and I had thought about doing something fun like going to Yellowstone or down south to some national parks, but we just ended up staying around here. We got A LOT done and had some fun too. The next couple of entries will be about their visit!
The first day they arrived, Cadence had to play her new favorite game with her grandma. It is Sesame Street Alphabet "Bingos. " She is very good at saying both the name of most the letters and the object the letter starts with.We definitely had to walk to Cadence's favorite park and swing "high in the sky." Grandma pushed Cadence.
Grandpa swung with Mr. Cooper. Chris also learned more about his family history and downloaded some genealogy program onto our computer. Barbara is really into family history and is very knowledgable about it. Chris learned things about his relatives on both his dad and mom's side of the family (like his Grandma's real first name!).

When the economy is in a bad shape, people learned to control their spending and budget their money wisely. This newly developed habit includes searching for great bargains and deals. This has led to people flooding the different thrift shops and bargain stores in the country. Others tend to buy on second hand shops for items that do not necessarily need to be brand new. Other items and services that cannot be purchased in thrift shops are purchased through online coupons.
These coupons are like discount cards that provide discounts to selected items and services in stores and brands. These coupons are usually found on the store or brand's website. This can be used to purchase items that are not on sale. You can also find several websites that has a list of discount codes, coupons and cards that can be used to purchase items in online shops and even physical retail stores. The coupons in these websites can be printed to be shown to the store attendant.

Shopping online is a good way to find deals and discounts on items that are usually expensive in physical retail stores, but having a discount code allows you to save more money. There are also websites that sell discount cards, promo codes to the public consumers. They will usually have a list of services that you can get a discount on. These services vary from the grocery, to restaurants and hotels. The price that you pay for these paid discount coupons is worth it. You no longer have to line up in thrift shops and bargain stores and still get a good deal in known brands of items.
Online coupons are also a way of advertising and marketing for these stores and brands. They are calling people to purchase their items at a discounted price and increase their customer rate. These coupons are truly beneficial for both the consumer and the manufacturer or seller. This has also helped people to spend wisely while enjoying the things that they normally like to buy and do. The economic downfall has developed a good habit and discipline to the people, and stores found a way to cope up with the economy.
