If you're still concerned about whether laser eye surgery is safe for you, contact us here.
It's normal to feel trepidation about undergoing any form of surgery – but arming yourself with the facts can help reduce your anxiety and provide reassurance. Here are some of the common fears and worries that people often have about laser eye surgery.
Laser-assisted vision correction only came into the mainstream in the 1990s. With such a new procedure, it's understandable to worry about the safety of the surgery. But, with techniques and technology now advanced to minimise risk, it's now considered one of the safest medical procedures of all. That said, like any surgical procedure, there is a small element of risk.
As a patient, you may feel passive and helpless in terms of the risks. However, there are steps you can take to improve the likelihood of a safe procedure, free from complications.

In December 2001, Pakistani forces arrested two men within a few days of each other in the mountains on the border of Pakistan and Afghanistan. The travelers had nothing to do with each other and little in common. Yet for the next year or so they shared a fate: imprisonment in the Guantanamo Bay detention camp. A trove of documents released by Wikileaks on Sunday sheds new light on the lives of the nearly 800 men (and several teenage boys) who have done time at Guantanamo, including those two travelers. Taken together, the files tell the story of a moral conundrum. While many believe that the prison should be closed, largely because its very existence flouts basic legal and human rights concepts, powerful political and social forces line up against doing exactly that.
A number of specific examples illustrate this dilemma, but the stories of the two men captured in the mountains -- one a sworn member of Al-Qaeda, the other completely innocent of any designs against Americans -- are as good as any. Soldiers arrested the innocent man, Ezhat Khan, as he returned to Pakistan from Afghanistan, where he'd gone to celebrate Eid with his parents and to attend his uncle's funeral. Born in 1966, Khan was a native Afghan, a former woodcutter from Nangarhar Province. He'd lived there until 1999, when, as his case review notes in a rare instance of engrossing detail, he moved to Wacha Dara, Pakistan, to work "as a sharecropper for Taj Mohammed, a Pakistani," who offered Khan "a place to stay and a patch of land to plant and harvest wheat and corn." Not unlike the U.S. military officers who eventually put him away, Khan evidently had problems with the Afghan leadership. According to Khan's case review, the Taliban had levied "oppressive taxes" on his woodcutting business, "making it increasingly difficult for detainee to support his family." In other words, the U.S. military jailed a man who the Taliban pushed out of his home. Khan had every reason to despise the Taliban; he was an enemy of America's enemy. So why did the U.S. see Khan as an enemy, too? Although Khan was arrested "on suspicion of being associated with three Arabs who'd been arrested previously at the same border crossing," he insisted that they'd made a mistake and, as his case file notes, the Pakistani officials who turned him over to U.S. military intelligence believed him. The Americans, however, weren't quite ready to let him go.
It's not that they doubted the veracity of his story. Rather, they believed he had information that could prove useful to them -- not about Al Qaeda or the Taliban but about the mountains where he was captured. As his case review put it, Khan was taken to Guantanamo "because of his knowledge of a covert route of travel through the mountains." No matter that, as far as anyone could tell, he used this path solely for the blameless purpose of visiting his family.
For the crime of knowing something the U.S. wanted to know, Khan was deprived of his freedom for more than a year. That's how much time passed before the Joint Task Force at Guantanamo decided whatever knowledge he had to offer wasn't "valuable or tactically exploitable." Many prisoners like Khan were sent to Guantanamo, men and boys locked up for pretexts about as slim as their two- or three-page files. The taxi driver who made the mistake (as Khan did) of knowing his way around the battle zone. The 14-year-old boy who suffered the double misfortune of being abducted first by the Taliban and then by U.S. intelligence officers who wanted information on his captors.
A number of these stories have been told before, but seeing them laid out with bureaucratic authoritativeness on U.S. military stationery has the effect of reinforcing the view of Guantanamo as a monument to immorality and incompetence that should be shut down.
And then documents detail prisoners like Mohammed al-Qahtani. By now, much of his story is well known: He would have been the "20th hijacker" of the 9/11 attacks, kept from entering the U.S. by suspicious airport officials who pegged him (wrongly, of course) as a would-be illegal immigrant. The task force that reviewed his case noted he spent time at an Al-Qaeda training camp where he learned "marksmanship, weapon maintenance, leadership, survival training, terrain negotiation," and "resisting hunger." His assessment as "high risk" to the U.S., therefore, may have been wise.
But that doesn't explain why al-Qahtani still languishes in Guantanamo or why the government won't try him on U.S. soil in a civilian court. Indeed, halfway through his 15-page case review, the authors note, almost offhandedly, that he was "subject to harsh interrogation techniques." In other words, al-Qahtani was tortured, and as even his torturers must know by now, evidence obtained through torture is worthless.
In 2007, U.S. Army investigators found that al-Qahtani's interrogators taunted him, beat him, and humiliated him, forcing him to wear a bra, putting a thong on his head, insulting his mother and sisters, making him wear a leash and act like a dog.
As a result, al-Qahtani therefore remains among dozens of inmates described by Daniel Fried, the State Department official burdened with the increasingly Sisyphean-seeming task of closing the prison, as "too dangerous to transfer but not feasible for prosecution." So what will become of al-Qahtani and the dozens of other prisoners deemed unprosecutable? Not to mention the 27 Yeminis who remain locked up because of what Fried described as "the deteriorating security environment" in Yemen? The 20 Chinese Muslims detained because the White House doesn't want to send them back to a China, where they might be, well, imprisoned?
As it happens, the release of these documents coincides with a turning point in a larger narrative, that of President Obama's effort to shut Guantanamo down.
Last month, Obama signed an executive order bolstering Guantanamo's practice of holding detainees indefinitely without charge. He gave the go-ahead to hold military trials at the prison, marking a sharp turn from the path that he'd started down a presidential candidate, when he called Guantanamo a "sad chapter" in American history and promised to close it.
Part of the rationale for keeping the prison open may well be that the use of torture has made some inmates "unfeasible for prosecution." But there's more to it than that.
Consider one last case: Prisoner 10024.
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, described in his file as "the mastermind of the September 11th attacks," was supposed to be the Obama administration's big prize, the key piece in its Guantanamo-closing strategy. By trying him successfully in a civilian court, the White House would prove the prison's existence pointless. And so in November 2009, Attorney General Eric Holder announced that Mohammed would be transferred to a New York court for a "fair trial."
Bowing to pressure from Congress, Obama has instead signed an act that essentially prohibits the administration from trying detainees in civilian courts.
This means Mohammed will get a military trial after all, and not because he can't be successfully prosecuted in a civilian court. True, like al-Qahtani, he'd been subjected to "harsh interrogation methods," including almost two hundred instances of waterboarding. But members of the administration had known that all along and still felt they had enough untainted evidence to prosecute him.
In a way, the problem is a domestic one. "No state in the union wants them," said Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) in 2009. He meant the prisoners, and he was explaining why a Democrat-controlled Senate voted 90-6 that year to keep Guantanamo open -- the first major setback in Obama's plan to close the prison. Since then, the political climate has shifted even further in favor of keeping the prisoners at what Hatch called the "perfect place" for them.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said in a briefing Monday that the president remains committed to "working towards the ultimate closure of the detention facility, consistent with the good security practices and values that we have a nation."
Now that Guantanamo's ugliness has once more been pushed into view, maybe Obama will finally find the support he needs to close the facility. But for now, the last 172 prisoners will stay where they are, their stories incomplete, their files still open.

It's the story of a modern family facing a crisis, revolving around a family that is impacted by a mother with bipolar disorder.
The Tony- and Pulitzer Prize-winning Next to Normal is filled with serious themes and complicated issues, yet plays out as a rock musical, and continues at the Academy of Music through Sunday.
With a contemporary score, actor Asa Somers describes Next to Normal as a powerhouse of a musical about a family trying to take care of themselves and each other.
"This show has popular music influenced throughout by pop, some rock, some country, show tunes and even more. It's a unique blend that I haven't seen before or since," said Somers, who plays Dan, the father in the show.
"Next to Normal is a play almost entirely sung through as an opera, and is nothing like your grandfather's musical," Somers continued.
"It packs a wallop emotionally, and is a new breed of musical that delivers a kick in the gut, which I mean in the best sense of the word."
Somers, who grew up in South Carolina, attended high school at Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire before going on to receive his bachelor's degree in English literature and theater at Yale University.
"Ever since I played Robin Hood in the fifth grade, I think I knew I wanted to be a performer," Somers said.
"But when I got a little older and got involved in my local theater group, and played the Artful Dodger in Oliver, and then saw a touring production of A Chorus Line, I think my fate was sealed."
At Yale, Somers played the title role in Stephen Sondheim's Sweeney Todd, and spent his senior year singing concerts with the University's premier a cappella group, the Yale Whiffenpooofs.
After college — and some time spent making independent films — Somers left the stage and screen to join the world of rock 'n' roll, playing in a number of successful bands around the country.
But the stage kept calling, because, as Somers explained, "As actors we get to play make-believe for a living. We get to assume new and different characters and identities all the time, and then come back and be ourselves again. It's like going on a journey, and the hours we spend on stage go by in the blink of an eye as we almost disappear into this other reality for a while."
Somers got to "disappear" in many roles, including a stint in Next to Normal on and off Broadway.
He was also seen on television in such productions as The Good Wife, Gossip Girl, Ugly Betty, Law and Order and more.
And when it came time to take Next to Normal on the road, Tony Award winner Alice Ripley, who plays the mother in the show, asked specifically for Somers to join her to take the father role.
"The father in the show needs to have patience in great supply. He's like a saint, and we have to ask the audience to believe he truly loves this woman enough to stick around for eighteen years given the circumstances that quickly unfold," Somers said.
"And we have to get that love across in very efficient ways, because we have very few moments to embrace, kiss and demonstrate that we are in love," he added.
According to the actor, the show asks many difficult questions that cannot be answered in any definitive way except to say that there is hope.
"When you wake up the next morning, this is the kind of piece that you're still thinking about," he said. "It's powerful and, I believe, unforgettable." ••

I was with some friends a few months back, chatting about stuff, and one lovely said 'nobody blogs anymore do they?', and I thought; I do!- but it actually appears that I don't!
It's been several months since I was here, so that hardly counts does it…
There have been times – mostly when my smallest was youngest, that I felt a great need to put my thoughts, pictures and experiences on the web. To diarise. To make them feel real. To explore my art and journey was a luxury I have to be strategic about the days.
Life is very real with older kids. All good, but much less time for thinking about the space between life. The spaces are filled. There is less time for thinking, or should I say, that the thoughts are less abstract and more structured around feeding, organising, worrying, counselling and planning, than on how to get through just the day itself and sink into the studio and my own head.
But I have done quite a lot of sewing that has so effortlessly slipped into my wardrobe that it feels dishonest to talk about it. Isn't that strange!
Two Macey Tilton V8982 Jackets – one in Stainless Steel, the other a lightweight stretch cotton. What a great and super easy pattern! I did put two back darts in to reduce the boxyness on my sway back, and I love, love love them. One in leather would be killer.
More than one Scout Grainline Tiny Pocket Tank, that is possibly the best fitting shell I (I have ever known). I'm planning on making many more of those, but have no photograph to show of my muslin. It's the perfect shape for a summer day work top that isn't too boring, or revealing, while keeping you cool. The other super great pattern that has been tried was the Deer & Doe Plaintain Tee. So well fitting it has been in regular effortless rotation and never photographed – but trust me, it's a beauty!
We are still rescuing furniture. This one, from a garage sale, has been sanded and reupholstered and is a joy. It seems every time we decide that's it – we need nothing more, something else appears and then we start all over again. Gosh it's fun.
The garden, however has been sadly neglected. Coming back from Switzerland last year to a few weeks of growth was quite a shock, and I can't seem to quite get on top of it. Grass has sprouted between every paver, and I spent the weekend pulling them up and digging out roots that were speeding towards beds. I fear we shall have to redo them and concrete underneath. Which is what we should have done in the first place, I know, but…
The summer harvest came and went, and we have loads of butternut pumpkins, limes bursting off the tree (our first crop!), and herbs aplenty. The zucchini grew,and for the most part were not harvested but fed to the chooks (oh the shame).
But we did get a carrot a few weeks back that made us laugh (insert parental advisory warning here)
Which was good for a laugh if nothing else. Those seeds were planted 2 years ago. This is the first we've seen of them. She's got a good sense of humour that mother nature.

|Nuclear Hayride, Johnny J. And The Hitmen
Blue Viper Records BV003
Johnny J. was a founding member of the popular New Orleans rockabilly quartet the Blue Vipers, developing a reputation as one of the Crescent City's premiere roots rockers. As Johnny J.'s musical inspiration evolved, he formed Johnny J. and The Hitmen.
The band debuted in critical acclaim with their 1986 album "Nuclear Hayride" on Great Southern Records, produced by former Boxtops frontman, Alex Chilton. Substantial radio airplay of the release throughout Europe and Scandinavia brought 1987's Nuclear Hayride on Tour in Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark, earning Johnny J. and The Hitmen an international following.
Now, 20 years later, this great rockin' debut album was digitally trasneferred, remixed and remasted from vinyl and released on Blue Viper Records.
As an integral member of New Orleans' close-knit musical community, Johnny J. was included on the legendary Tipitina's 1989 compilation "Tipitina's - Live & in Person" that included artists such as Walter Wolfman Washington, Marva Wright, Jon Cleary and other New Orleans musical luminaries. On this historical collection, Johnny J. performs Coco Robicheaux's "Thrift Store Suit."
1991 brought Johnny J.'s sophomore release entitled "Wizard of Odds," produced by legendary Nashville producer and Neil Young band member, Ben Keith (who also produced Jewel's multi-platinum debut CD) for Germany's Zensor label. The release, and subsequent European tour, further cemented the sounds of Johnny J. and The Hitmen with European audiences. While popular in Europe, the CD was never released in the United States, and was available only as an import.
In addition to his own recordings, Johnny J. is a much sought after New Orleans session player and has appeared on numerous releases by notable regional roots artists including a solo to the title track of Roland Stone's 1993 "Remember Me."
ohnny J. is the guitarist of choice for rockabilly as well as blues and R&B legends performing in New Orleans - J has performed with Dale Hawkins, Alex Chilton, Lazy Lester, Wayne Bennett, Eddie Kirkland, Wanda Jackson, Joe "Ducktail" Clay and the late Carl Perkins in a promotional video for Perkins' last CD, recorded at the Mermaid Lounge in dowtown New Orleans.
Around New Orleans on any given night, Johnny J. can be seen performing with his band at mainstay venues like the Rivershack Tavern, Mid-City Rock-N-Bowl, and the Carrollton Station with his own band, The Hitmen, or with other New Orleans musicians such as Little Queenie Harris, Harpman Ben Maygarden and Lips and the Trips at Bourbon Street's 711 Club. Over the years, Johnny J. has also been a member of Them Taggert Boys and Little Queenie & the Swinging Gates of Heaven, as well as the comical, satirical rockers, OLD.
In recent years, Arkansas' legendary rockabilly artist, Dale Hawkins, best known for his 1957 hit single "Suzie Q," has enlisted Johnny J. to tour and record with him.

Raw capacity numbers are becoming less useful as deduplication, compression and application-aware storage provide more value than sheer capacity.
- Mike Matchett, Small World Big Data
Whether clay pots, wooden barrels or storage arrays, vendors have always touted how much their wares can reliably store. And invariably, the bigger the vessel, the more impressive and costly it is, both to acquire and manage. The preoccupation with size as a measure of success implies that we should judge and compare offerings on sheer volume. But today, the relationship between physical storage media capacity and the effective value of the data "services" it delivers has become much more virtual and cloudy. No longer does a megabyte of effective storage mean a megabyte of real storage.
Most array vendors now incorporate capacity-optimizing features such as thin provisioning, compression and data deduplication. But now it looks like those vendors might just be selling you megabytes of data that aren't really there. I agree that it's the effective storage and resulting cost efficiency that counts, not what goes on under the hood or whether the actual on-media bits are virtual, compacted or shared. The type of engine and the gallons in the tank are interesting, but it's the speed and distance you can go that matter.
Duped by dedupe?
Corporate data that includes such varied things as customer behavior logs, virtual machine images and corporate email that's been globally deduped and compressed might deflate to a twentieth or less of its former glory. So when a newfangled flash array only has 10 TB of actual solid-state drives, but based on an expected minimum dedupe ratio is sold as a much larger effective 100+ TB, are we still impressed with the bigger number? We know our raw data is inherently "inflated" with too many copies and too little sharing. It should have always been stored "more" optimally.
But can we believe that bigger number? What's hard to know, although perhaps it's what we should be focusing on, is the reduction ratio we'll get with our particular data set, as deflation depends highly on both the dedupe algorithm and the content.
An exabyte by any other name
We all know data is growing, as is the amount of storage we have to deploy and manage. Structured databases are growing to terabytes, less structured bigger data to petabytes, and multi-tenant clouds are aggregating to exabytes.
But I feel that in this era of big data, raw capacity just isn't that much of an interesting number anymore. Of course, there's going to be more data and, therefore, more data storage. We're making and keeping data at a pace that's economically balanced by how much it costs vs. the value of doing it. Storage capacities per dollar are inevitably increasing. As storage capacity gets cheaper and big data analytics show how to extract business value out of massive amounts of data, we'll keep even more data around. So storage capacities will keep getting bigger.
Storing it all, once
High-capacity storage devices like HGST's 6 TB helium drives are available today, with holographic optical storage coming. Denser flash and more advanced types of non-volatile memory are also on the way. Combined with better dedupe and compression by excess CPU bandwidth in modern arrays, this will lead to some massive leaps in the amount of terabytes under management.
Frontline storage is getting deduped these days, and often compressed. Vendors with existing storage platforms like EMC Isilon are adding post-processing dedupe that squishes storage offline so it doesn't put a drag on performance. Some newer architecture vendors, however, are leveraging innovative flash designs to successfully dedupe inline, like SimpliVity with its high-performance ASIC.
One of the great things about inline dedupe is that it can speed performance while shrinking capacity. By eliminating back-end media I/O for duplicate blocks, downstream client reads can get a faster total response. And if replication is built on top of dedupe, then only new blocks need to be replicated. We expect data will be deduped on the storage side once, and be kept in that format throughout its lifecycle in storage -- through archive, metadata-level operations (e.g., VAAI), backup and restores.
It's what you do with it
As the trend toward deflating data in storage continues, we expect external apps to get in on the action. Oracle's Hybrid Columnar Compression for its structured database data is an example. In Oracle ZFS, for example, database data blocks are compressed incrementally and in such a way that as data becomes more static it becomes faster for the client to query them. The compressed blocks aren't only archived and backed up in compressed form, but read back into database memory in that form when accessed -- less I/O overhead and columnar/analytical format acceleration. RainStor does something similar for big data processing of structured data, with query performance rising as storage space is optimized.
Tarmin GridBank is a scalable storage grid that globally dedupes files upon ingestion and parses file content for desired metadata that can then be globally filtered and searched. Since the storage system automatically indexes its content for immediate use by storage clients, it's delivering higher level services that would otherwise have to be built on at greater cost or with less capability.
These kinds of application-aware storage capabilities are going beyond simply storing more bits; they're delivering tangible value to storage clients. It's becoming clear that if you want to take competitive advantage of greater data volumes, increasing storage capacities is critical; but it's only part of the solution. IT storage organizations will have to evolve from "just" reliably persisting bits on media to offering sophisticated data services at a higher, business-focused level.
Apples to oranges
There have always been data protection factors that impact how much physical storage a megabyte of data actually requires. We've long specified classes of storage in our catalogs based on well-known RAID and replication schemes that consume differing amounts of physical storage. But now there are complicating alternatives in the form of erasure and fountain coding schemes, flash-specific data protection approaches, advances in automated tiered storage, and tape solutions that appear more like slow disk than offline media.
Today, the key measure of "raw" capacity as an indicator of big storage is no longer reliable. It's no longer a question of how much you're able to store, but what value you can get out of the data you do keep. It's a difficult transition, but I'd like to see more vendor metrics and licensing schemes that focus on the value of data services provided instead of the size of raw storage. I expect that within just a couple of years, simply measuring storage by the byte will become relatively ineffective, while posting big numbers focused on the business value added by aligned data services will become critically important.

This article does not focus on a particular antique meerschaum pipe, but on meerschaum pipe bowls in the typical Norwegian style decorated with acanthus ornamentation. All the photographs are by the author.
The Norwegian Pipe Model
The true origin of a specific pipe model that is considered typically Norwegian will never be fully known, but its design and configuration are supposedly from around the turn of the eighteenth century (Pritchett 1890, 25). It is a fairly simple configuration cut from a flat, narrow block without any distinctive separation between the bowl and the shank.
|Side view of a typical, plain, meerschaum pipe
bowl in typical Norwegian form; the identity of the 'AR' of
Christiana (Oslo) is not known.
Viewed from the front or from above, it has straight or nearly straight, parallel sides. Viewed from either side, it appears quadrangular, but rather than four similarly proportioned angles, the lower side is most often curved. The sides are even or almost even, as are the ends. The upper ends are sharp-edged, each end having a hole, the nearest for insertion of a pipe stem, the farthest being the tobacco bowl. The lower edges are usually graded or have softer forms. Originally, this particular pipe was made of wood, usually birch, much later of briar and, to a certain extent, of block and imitation meerschaum. The most common variety was undecorated, but some were, and some even had silver mounts.
The acanthus motif derives from the Mediterranean vegetable family, Acanthus. Through the ages, two species, Acanthus spinosus and Acanthus mollis,
|Acanthus mollis.
with their large, floppy leaves and prominent veins, have been used as ornamental design. The Greeks used this motif c500-600 years B.C.; the Romans adopted it at the time of Emperor Augustus (63 B.C.–14 A.C.), and since that era it has been part of European art history.
The time from when the acanthus, as a carved ornament, was used in Norway lies in a hazy mist, as does the origin of much earlier designs. The existence of primitively carved tendrils is documented as far back as 800 B.C. (Magerøy, 1983, 43, 148–222). Through time, influenced by the European Renaissance in the 16th century, artists employed simple acanthus ornamental décor in church interiors and, to some extent, on profane furniture and everyday objects. But it was not until the Baroque trend arrived in Norway in the seventeenth century that the acanthus became a popular and widespread design applied in woodcarving, in ironwork, in the traditional Norwegian rose painting of house interiors or on furniture, and on assorted utensils. From then on it spread and became popular throughout the country. Although allowance for woodcarving was reserved for members of the town guilds, it was, nevertheless, also employed by district locals.
In Norway, woodcarving is divided into three main schools: Karveskurd (cut carving), e.g., patterns with triangular cuts; Flatskurd (relief carving with an almost even surface); and Krillskurd (deep, three- dimensional, plastic carving). Cut carving was also used for pipe making, but in the context of acanthus is of no interest, whereas the other two are.
Districts, counties and valleys came to adopt and develop different carving styles. Flatskurd was common in the county of Telemark, while Krillskurd, especially in the nineteenth century, dominated in Gudbrandsdalen, because tradesmen in the towns of Trondhjem and Christiania - the former name of Oslo - through advertisements, encouraged local farmers to carve first-class souvenirs, such as pipe bowls, for the tourist trade. Merchants established workshops in which competent woodcarvers from the districts were engaged; moreover, carving schools were established to fulfill this purpose (Sveen, 2004, 18–19, 43, 49, 64, 96).
The first written documentation of the use of tobacco in Norway, one of the poorest countries in Europe, prior to and in the beginning of the twentieth century, stems from a criminal case in 1612 in the town of Bergen (Gierløff 1928, 57). Due to the country's seafaring traditions and contact with England and Holland, tobacco, pipe smoking and clay pipes probably arrived much earlier from the west. In the first decade of the nineteenth century, meerschaum pipes exhibiting typical German models - with long stems and flexible mouthpieces - became fairly common among the more wealthy families. Tobacco was expensive, yet it was smoked at all levels of society, but meerschaum pipes never became commodities for ordinary people. Norway had a long tradition of making everyday utensils in wood; hence, wood copies of imported meerschaum pipes were produced, as well as the earlier-mentioned Norwegian model.
Not only did Norway have an established tradition of using wood as a popular material, but it also had a tradition for embellishing wooden utensils with exquisitely carved designs. Meerschaum pipes were imported in the beginning, but local wood-turners and wood-carvers, whose names are now long forgotten, started making pipe bowls in birch. Some of these pipe makers decorated their pipes with relief-carved motifs or various traditional designs, and the acanthus was one of the very popular designs.
Pipe production on a larger scale did not occur in Norway until the wood turner and carver Gudbrand Larsen (1815– 1902) from the municipality of Ringsaker in Hedemark County started his pipe factory in the small town of Lillehammer in 1844. Sometime earlier, he had visited Eskesehir, Turkey and established contact with raw meerschaum exporters. This was his incentive to make meerschaum pipes. As a wood-carver, Larsen knew the acanthus design very well, as did his carver-employees, among whom Jehans Odde (1836–1899), August Larsen, Gudbrand's son (1856–1914), and Lars Prestmoen (1871– 1957) are the most famous. They were exceptionally competent carvers of miniature objects who, from time to time, carved extraordinary and beautiful motifs on the pipes, but their production was principally focused on pipes meant for smoking, not as gifts for special occasions. Quite a number of the pipes from their hands exhibited some degree of decoration, and the acanthus was the most significant. These carvers, working in G. Larsen's factory never signed their pipes. The pipes bore only the stamped factory name. From 1844 forward, this Lillehammer factory dominated the Norwegian pipe- making market, but supposedly some local, independent carvers also carved meerschaum pipes before as well as after the factory was established.
Meerschaum pipes, the bigger the better and, when ornamented and silver-mounted, yet better, symbolized the status of their owners. Tobacco, meerschaum and silver demonstrated that the owner was a wealthy man. Neither of the two pipes shown in this article is large, but both are representative of the Norwegian ornamented model in meerschaum.
Pure meerschaum derives its eventual color from tobacco smoke, as is shown in the illustration,
|Unusual, almost pentagonal, Norwegian meerschaum model with achanthus decoration in krillskurd.
the first example of these pipe bowls. It measures 6.6 cm in length, 5.1 cm. in height, and 3 cm. in breadth. Its silhouette, somewhat unusual for the Norwegian model, is almost pentagonal, and its top edges are graded. Otherwise, it has the typical features of the model. It is decorated on the sides, front and bottom with acanthus leaves, and there is also a flower on the underside. The carving is done artistically with deep cuts, giving the acanthus an animated look typical of Krillskurd, the Gudbrandsdal acanthus style. It has a few surface cracks, and it has been smoked, although not long enough to change its colour uniformly and completely. Rather small in size, and of the simple Norwegian model, yet of meerschaum and exhibiting a relative high standard of carving, the pipe probably belonged to a man of some means. It is stamped 'G. Larsen' and it dates from about the second half of the nineteenth century.
The ornamentation on the silver-mounted pipe bowl,
|Silver-mounted Norwegian meerschaum pipe model with acanthus leaf decoration in flatskurd.
is also acanthus, but more Flatskurd-like, i.e., Telemark acanthus. Its measurements are 6.7cm. in height, 8.2cm. in length, and 3.2cm. in breadth. It has some minor cracks,
Both pipes have acanthus ornaments but of slightly different styles although carved at the same factory in Lillehammer, the gateway to the Gudbrandsdalen valley where the Krillskurd style was dominant. The fact that Flatskurd carving was employed at G. Larsen shows that pipes were carved at the factory without any affiliation to local traditions, but according to the prospective buyer's taste and purse. Although the two styles in question originated in different areas, both were popular and also used by local unnamed pipe carvers elsewhere in Norway, depending on their manner and carving competence.

- peel from 1 large organic naval orange, sliced into thin pieces
- peel from 1 organic pomegranate, sliced into thin pieces
- 3 inches fresh ginger, peeled and sliced thinly
- 1/2 cup honey
Arrange the fruit peels in a single layer on a baking sheet, and set in a warm, arid spot. I placed mine over the radiator in the living room, but an oven at room temperature would work too. Allow the peels to harden and dry completely. Mine were ready in about 3 hours. The peels can be saved in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
Prepare the gingered honey by placing the ginger in a small jar. Cover the ginger in honey, and refrigerate for about 1 hour. The juice from the ginger will water down the honey to a thin liquid consistency. The honey can be saved in a refrigerated airtight container for up to 1 month.
To make the tea, place about a tablespoon of the dried peels in a teacup and steep in boiling water for 4 minutes, or until the water has turned a light golden red color. Remove the peels from the water, and stir in the gingered honey until your desired sweetness is achieved. I like to add about 2 tablespoons of honey, which makes for a slightly sweet tea.
Makes enough tea for 8-10 cups and about 1/2 cup honey.

We all know that our skin does not remain the smooth and youthful throughout our lives. The changes that take their toll on aesthetic facial appearance include lines and wrinkles and fallen or disappeared fat that affect the facial contours. This process may be influenced by variety of factors like natural aging process and certain external factors like stress, sun exposure and smoking. The development of lines and wrinkles and facial folds is a bug dilemma for many of us. They make us look older and affect our aesthetic appearance. Fortunately, treatments for them are also available. Wrinkle fillers are the most popular non-surgical and virtually painless method for eradication of lines and wrinkles.
If you are also fighting with signs of aging and you don't want to go under the knife, you need not to worry because fillers is perfect option for you. With the advantages of wrinkle fillers, you can not only erase lines and wrinkles but they also help filling in the existing facial depressions and restoring the lost volume that results in improved structure of skin. So, whether you need to rejuvenate your skin, smooth away the wrinkles or enhance your facial contours or lips, dermal fillers is the perfect option to do that.
Dermal fillers are simple and non-invasive facial rejuvenation and therefore they are perfect option for those who want to enhance their facial appearance without any surgical procedure. The most advance dermal fillers are even more effective and provide full-face rejuvenation. Some of the uses of dermal fillers include:
Until recently, whenever people talked about fillers, they referred to collagen based dermal fillers. The type of dermal fillers that was used for eradicating wrinkles for the first time was the collagen based dermal fillers. Previously, the protein used in these fillers was extracted from cow's skin. These fillers had the risks of causing allergic reaction and therefore patient required to have per-treatment allergic test.
Contrary to collagen based fillers, the wrinkle fillers that are most commonly used today are derived from substances naturally occurring in the body. They do not cause allergic reactions and are longer lasting. Such type of dermal fillers includes hyaluronic acid based fillers and calcium hydroxyl apatite based fillers. These fillers do not require any pre-treatment allergy testing.
Since these dermal fillers generally do not pose any risk of allergic reactions, side effects are mostly injection related. These side effects include slight swelling, tenderness and itching. The most common pain or discomfort caused by dermal fillers is that caused by needle pricking and expanding of tissues. Some dermal filler manufacturers were inspired to provide patients with more comfortable treatment. Thus, concept of painless wrinkle fillers was originated.
What is the concept behind painless wrinkle fillers? These fillers have the added benefit of local anesthetic. By combining local anesthetic with dermal fillers, the possible pain or discomfort can be prevented. So, you will be able to get smoother skin and natural looking results by having a few minutes treatment without any pain or discomfort.
If you want to know more about dermal fillers or are interested in having them, fill in the consultation form and book an appointment for free consultation with our experts. You can also have free online consultation.

Theresa May blocked move to deselect Tory rebel Heidi Allen, ex-chief aide reveals
Theresa May blocked an attempt to deselect serial Conservative rebel Heidi Allen, according to her former top aide Nick Timothy.
The revelation came amid calls for Tory MPs to face deselection after they helped inflict a shock defeat on the Government's key Brexit legislation last night.
Ms Allen was among 11 Tory MPs who backed an amendment by former attorney general Dominic Grieve to give Parliament a 'meaningful vote' on the final Brexit deal.
In the aftermath of the embarrassing defeat, Tory Brexiteers reacted furiously, with outspoken backbencher Nadine Dorries calling for rebel MPs to "be deselected and never allowed to stand as a Tory MP, ever again".
However, former Downing Street chief of staff Mr Timothy moved to quell the uproar this morning by revealing that the Prime Minister had previously blocked a deselection attempt against Ms Allen.
Taking to Twitter he also called for "calm" and said the Conservative party must "remain a broad church".
Ms Allen has previously spoken out against the Government on a range of issues, most recently over the rollout of its flagship Universal Credit welfare reform.
Since being elected in 2015 she has rebelled 8 times.
Mr Timothy's intervention follows condemnation of Ms Dorries' outburst by Tory colleagues.
Sarah Wollaston, who was another of the 11 Conservatives to vote in favour of the amendment, replied: "Get over yourself Nadine," after her Tory colleague questioned Mr Grieve's suitability for his role as Intelligence and Security Committee chair.
Former minister Nick Boles also rebuked Ms Dorries.
One of the rebels, Stephen Hammond, was sacked from his role as vice-chairman of the Conservative party for London shortly after the vote.

Icefields Parkway River
River and mountains along Icefields Parkway. Highway 93 is a north-south highway in Alberta, Canada. It is also known as the Banff-Windermere Parkway south of the Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 1) and the Icefields Parkway north of the Trans-Canada Highway. It travels through Banff National Park and Jasper National Park and is maintained by Parks Canada for its entire length. It runs from the British Columbia border at Vermilion Pass in the south, where it becomes British Columbia Highway 93, to its terminus at the junction with the Yellowhead Highway (Highway 16) at Jasper. The route takes its number from U.S. Route 93, which runs uninterrupted south to central Arizona, and was initially designated as '93' in 1959.Add to Lightbox Download

Green Star® Program
Green Star® is the Alaska's only Pollution Prevention program. Pollution Prevention (P2) means reducing or eliminating the volume or toxicity of materials, pollutants, or wastes at the source so that they never become waste in the first place. P2 is a proactive approach to environmental management. It is not the same as pollution control or waste management, which is responding to pollution at the "end of the pipe."
Pollution Prevention IS:
Pollution Prevention IS NOT:
Pollution Prevention has wide-ranging environmental and economic benefits, because it gets at the waste and inefficiencies that are the root causes of pollution. P2's health and environmental benefits include cleaner air and water, fewer greenhouse gas emissions, less toxic waste to manage, less solid waste going to landfills, greater workplace safety, and better stewardship of natural resources. P2's economic benefits include greater business efficiency, increased competitiveness, less exposure to risks, and reduced costs for regulatory monitoring, fees, and paperwork. If you don't create pollution, you don't have to spend money regulating it, handling it, storing it, treating it, or disposing of it.
2019 Green Star® Awardees
Green Star® assisted countless companies and organizations this past year, saving thousands of dollars through energy costs and tens of thousands of pounds of carbon dioxide from our atmosphere. Over 100 companies currently participate in the Green Star® program. A list of companies and organizations participating in the program can be found here. Ten companies made the commitment in 2018 to sign up for the program or renew their certification:
- Alaska West Express
- Donlin Gold, Inc.
- K & L Distributors, Inc.
- Lynden South Air Park Facility
- Lynden Transport, Inc.
- NeighborWorks Alaska
- Skinny Raven Sports
- TerraSond
- The K3 Group
These companies have made the commitment to follow Green Star® standard guidelines in their business. The Green Star® Award focuses on all aspects of operations and examine all waste streams, including:
- Solid Waste
- Hazardous Waste
- Recyclable material
- Waste Water
Not only can material disposal be managed better, but eliminating waste through smarter purchasing and/or employee behavior is also encouraged. The plan is for employees of Green Star® companies to take behaviors learned on the job and implement them at home.
By meeting the Green Star® standards, these organizations can demonstrate to the public that they have gone well beyond compliance with environmental regulations and have voluntarily implemented a thorough waste prevention and pollution prevention plan. A link to the Green Star® business standards can be found here.
Green Star® is a program operated by the Alaska Forum, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. It supports businesses that wish to practice waste reduction, energy conservation, and pollution prevention through education and technical assistance as part of an award-winning voluntary certification program.
Green Star® History
Green Star® began in 1990, in Anchorage, Alaska, as a cooperative effort. The Anchorage Chamber of Commerce successfully partnered with the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation and the non-profit Alaska Center for the Environment to develop the Green Star® program. The program, represented by this diverse group of state regulators, environmentalists, and business leaders, was created to give positive recognition to organizations that exercised environmental responsibility. Through the Program, it was found that organizations that are environmentally responsible also have a stronger bottom line. Examining an organization's waste streams and making an internal change to reduce them result in significant financial savings, as well as environmental benefits.
Today, Green Star® Program continues with the support of Knik Tribal Council, to recognize businesses that voluntarily meet and exceed Green Star's standards of environmental responsibility.

Ernie and Cindy are looking for the next clue, and she is wondering if they just left their waffles burning in the stand. He confirms for her that they did. Andy and Tommy stop for directions as Bill and Cathi finally have both halves of the clue and take off. Marcus and Amani are driving to the next stop, as she says "if you aren't making your way here, you're making your way home." Sandy wants Jeremy to take the interstate, telling him it's faster.
Ernie and Cindy are the first to arrive at De Muur van Geraardsbergen, and the clue tells them to help the pigeon trainer release a flock of homing pigeons, then race to meet the pigeons at a specific address, where they'll get their next clue. Cindy is worried about having to touch the birds, saying that they gross her out. They release them and head for the address, needing directions first.
Andy and Tommy are the next to arrive and release the pigeons and get their address, asking for directions from a local first. Bill and Cathi are driving on their way, as Amani and Marcus arrive, but can't find the right place. Jeremy and Sandy search as well. Amani and Marcus find it first, right before Jeremy and Sandy. Both teams release their pigeons and compare addresses, realizing it's two different spot. Seeing pigeons on the road, Amani hopes they weren't some of theirs.
Ernie and Cindy stop for directions, and she's not sure about the ones they receive. Andy and Tommy arrive at the correct address and get the clue off the band on the pigeon's leg. It's a picture of the atomic structure for iron, Atomium, the pit stop for this leg of the Race. They aren't sure where to go, not knowing what it is. They ask some kids along the side of the road and get directions.
Jeremy and Sandy arrive at the correct address and get their clue, but she's worried about hurting the pigeon pulling it off his leg. Suddenly they're in great position in second place, previously being headed for last place. They know they saw that atom structure at some point during their travels.
Ernie and Cindy are struggling to find their address, and she wants him to stop in a restaurant for directions. She asks him why he didn't stop, and he tells her he couldn't find a place to park, "So chill the hell out." They get directions back to the highway, and knowing it's thirty minutes away, when they were originally only forty-five minutes away, they know isn't a good sign. She hopes they don't come in last and know it has at least cost them first place.
Andy and Tommy see the atom structure and end up on Phil's mat. He calls them team number one, and as winners of this leg, they each win a new Ford Mustang. Since it's one of the most personalized vehicles, they can go online and personalize it to match their personal style. They'll get the cars when they return home. Andy declares, "Hot diggity dog!" They're still discussing the roadblock.
Bill and Cathi ask for directions to their pigeon address, and Amani and Marcus are doing the same. They're hoping everyone is struggling like they are. Ernie and Cindy stop and ask for directions, and it ends up being the place they were looking for. They find some locals and ask for directions to the atom structure. Sandy thinks Jeremy is driving too slow, but he is being carful not to miss it. Armani and Marcus arrive at the same destination as Ernie and Cindy, and end up asking the same locals for directions to the atom structure. He is calling this "rally time."
Bill and Cathi arrive at De Muur van Geraardsbergen, while Jeremy and Sandy arrive on Phil's mat. He tells them they are team number two, and they're stoked. Ernie and Cindy are team number three. She realizes it's yet another leg where they were out in front and blew it. Marcus and Amani arrive on the mat and are called team number four. He calls this next leg a conference championship in terms of football. They want to knock that out to make it to the Super Bowl.
Bill isn't ashamed of how he and Cathi have done, but thinks they're both startled at how long they were able to stay in there. Before they're even officially eliminated, we get treated to a package of their better race moments. He calls it a hoot and knows it improved their relationship.
Bill and Cathi end up on Phil's mat and are eliminated. Phil tells them they have proven age isn't something that will stop you on the Race. Cathi admits that's one reason they wanted to do it, to show that older Americans are sometimes overlooked. They stand together, but win lose or draw, there is no reason for them to ever fall apart. It was one last chance for Bill to be with his best friend and do some really special things in the world. He would do it all over again, the same person and the same way.
I have to give Bill and Cathi a lot of credit here. I, too, am surprised how far they made it. The first few legs into it the Race, I thought that would be it for them. But they found a way to keep hanging in there, and arrived at the mat in the first couple of teams more than a few teams. They continually beat much younger teams and never used age as an excuse.
Looking ahead to next week, it's honestly anyone's game. Jeremy and Sandy are on a roll right now, yet always seem to struggle. Amani and Marcus will only only beat themselves, as will Ernie and Cindy. Andy and Tommy, of course, are in the best spot. This is one season where the teams aren't competing against each other as much as they're competing against the clock. I think it's more of a reflection on the type of people they all are.
Don't miss a single recap of this show or others. Check out our Facebook page and follow us on Twitter.

Questions About Greyhounds? Click Here for the Kennel.com Forum!
Greyhounds are sleek, muscular and extremely fast and most often used for hunting and sport. There is no question these dogs are one of the oldest breeds, however, there are a few theories regarding their origin. One theory suggests a type of dog very similar to today's Greyhound breed was found in drawings in ancient Egyptian tombs. Another specifically disputes this theory and relates the Greyhound to a type of herding dog owned by the ancient Celts in Eastern Europe or Euroasia.
Greyhounds arrived in America most likely by Spanish explorers as far back as the 1500s. They were among the first dogs to be recorded in American dog shows and Greyhounds can be found in the second edition of the AKC Stud Book in 1885.
There are two types of Greyhound - the National Greyhound Association (NGA) dogs and AKC standard. NGA dogs are primarily used in racing and bred for specifically for this. AKC Greyhounds are for show and companionship.
The height of Greyhound dogs is between 28 to 30 inches (71 - 76 cm) and for females: 27 to 28 inches (68 - 71 cm)
The weight of Greyhound dogs is between 65 to 70 lbs (29 -31kg) and for females 60 to 65 lbs (27 - 29 kg)
Coat Type:
The Greyhound's coat is short in length, smooth, fine, thin, but firm in texture. Care for the coat is minimal, weekly brush is all that's necessary. The Greyhound breed is an average shedder.
There are many acceptable colors for the Greyhound breed. Black, white, red, blue, fawn, liver, brindle or any of these colors mixed with white.
Greyhounds are intelligent, gentle and even tempered. They are affectionate with those they know and bond well making them a great companion. These dogs are also good with considerate children, but do not like rough play. The Greyhound is sensitive, quiet, loyal and docile. It is important to socialize Greyhounds at an early age to prevent them from being timid. Greyhounds are not high energy dogs as one might think because they are incredibly fast runners. They require basic exercise - running outdoors or long, daily walks.
Health Problems:
Greyhounds are generally a healthy breed. Some health concerns include: bloat, bone cancer and esophageal motility disorder which causes difficulty in swallowing and regurgitation of food. The average life span of a Greyhound is between 10 - 13 years

We're Here to Help
... and we love what we do!
Woolly Works really began decades ago when Edith combined her passion for yarn craft and love of teaching and began to offer lessons out at her little alpaca farm. She taught the craft of yarn itself - spinning and dyeing. She taught creating with yarn - knitting and crochet and tatting. If you were willing to make the trek to the farm, you could finally get those cables right, learn the best cast on for a collar, find out how to felt a homemade stuffed dragon.If you wanted to know how to be an accomplished machine knitter, Edith was the one to see.
In recent years, Edie decided it was time to open a store front in downtown Colorado Springs, saving us all the commute to the farm. Woolly works began a few blocks away and settled into our current location at 9 East Bijou Street, in 2014.
Woolly Works Knit Shop is nestled in a quaint area of downtown Colorado Springs, Colorado. You will always receive professional, warm and friendly service anytime you visit. Woolly Works Knit Shop offers a large selection of specialty and luxury yarns, notions, fiber arts supplies, patterns, books and classes for all your knitting, felting, tatting and crocheting needs. Our store is bright, our staff is here to help, and we look forward to seeing you!
Edith Fisher
At the age of five, I picked up knitting and crocheting by watching my mother and both of my grandmothers making beautiful pullovers and cardigans. Through the decades, I witnessed a dwindling appreciation for my trade as a Knitter, and I made a commitment to keep the knitting trade alive for future generations.
The idea of owning a knit shop was born in 1987 when I received my first knitting machine as a gift from my husband.
Although I was still an airman serving in the US Air Force, my dream did not die. After I retired from the military in 1998, I turned my dream into reality. A second knitting machine made the knit shop official – The Woolly Works Knit Shop was born.
But it did not end there. After seeing an advertisement in a local paper, I became intrigued by Alpacas and their luxurious fiber. The Woolly Works Farm now has five Alpacas nibbling in the pasture. I learned to process their fleece and teach others to do so. I have taught knitting, crochet, dyeing, machine knitting and all manner of yarn craft over these years.
A few years later I realized that I was not just a knitter; I was also a collector (hoarding) of many fine yarns. In ten lifetimes I could never use it all up. So, in 2001 the only thing for me to do was to open a retail store. I have moved to other locations since then with the current being the best of all carrying a vast variety of yarns and supplies-truly heaven for all needle artists.
I have been teaching knitting and crocheting since 1999. In 2010 I added custom dyed yarns by Edie to my repertoire. With the hand of the Lord guiding me, the Woolly Works Knit Shop will be a staple for many years to come.
After being fascinated by knitting since Kindergarten, I finally learned it when I was 10 and in the 4th grade. I had a few lessons and that was it. An obsession was born!
I believe my first ever project was to try to make a blanket for my kitty, Belle. Since I didn't know how to read a pattern, I made up my own, sometimes successfully.
When I was 18 I learned to crochet from a book and that was that.
I love to knit all kind of things, but socks and sweaters seem to be my favorites.
I grew up in SW Kansas and moved to Colorado Springs a little over 10 years ago with my husband and our son. Since then we have added two cats, Ginger and Tobey, a bearded dragon named Norberta and LOTS of yarn.
I love to see you soon!

We know more about Technical Gadgets.
Agree that it's very frustrating when in a hurry grab a glass, hoping that there is a cool drink, and then scalding a lips, tongue – in short, the entire oral cavity. Not only did it hurt, so more and unexpectedly. Or vice versa – if you want to drink lukewarm, and reduces a teeth from the icy beverage. In both cases, it is quite unpleasant. But there is a way out.
Thanks to cutting-edge technologies, all saw new cup Temperature Sensing LED Display Cup – an invention that can not be overlooked. A cup with the double layer coating runs on two AA-batteries. She automatically monitors the temperature of the liquid inside, and then the digital display shows the temperature at its wall.
A cup is able to recognize the temperature range of from 0 to 90 degrees Celsius. When the temperature of the liquid in the cup from 0 to 25 degrees – then illuminates blue heart. At a temperature of 35 to 75 degrees – the yellow heart, that is, the liquid is warm. A temperature of 75 to 90 degrees can see the red light that warns you that you need to drink carefully, so as not to get burned. Volume cups 380ml, coated inside stainless steel,and outside – plastic.

Schmidt Bakery was started in 1963. Not only did we sell donuts, but we also sold pizzas. I think we sold more pizzas at that time than we did donuts.
In 1970 the Bakery moved to a new location downtown and sold the pizza part of the business. We were now a full line bakery with lots to offer. We made everything from wedding cakes, to breads, to all kinds of different pastries. We still do the same today. We've been in the same location since 1970 and are open 6 days every week! We have a regular crowd that comes in daily for donuts and coffee. We even deliver to local businesses. We currently employ around 15 people, and Bertie works almost every day on something for the bakery. If she's not out front, she's working with the accounting stuff. Clem is semi-retired now, only working 3 out of the 6 days now!
Clem has built this business from the ground up and now has a reputation of the BEST DONUTS IN TOWN! It's even been said, that people travel from far away places to buy products from us.
We recently set up this website, and hope to continue our business with online advertising. We currently ship products all over the United States and continue to accomodate the strange requests we receive!
Not only do we still have breads, buns, cakes, pies, cookies, donuts, danish and the rest of the goods. We've broadened our product line to include Doggy treats too! The dog's love them and the owner's keep coming back for more.
So the next time you're in the area, come and see us. You'll be glad you did!
