See and share Beautiful Nature Photos and amazing photos of interesting places
Don't look.
The world's about to break.
Don't look.
The world's about to chuck out all its light
and stuff us in the chokepit of its dark,
That black and fat suffocated place
Where we will kill or die or dance or weep
Or scream of whine or squeak like mice
To renegotiate our starting price.

Big Rig Basics
Main Overload!
Proper fuse maintenance will help you contain the high costs incurred by electrical damage. Here's how to replace them and ensure continued reliability
Level of difficulty (scale 1-5 with 5 being the hardest job): 2
Tools required: Narrow-jawed or needle-nose pliers (DSCN0790), rags for drying fuse box covers when under the hood
When something goes wrong in wiring or an accessory, the flow of electrical current can create heat that damages wiring and accessories or even starts a fire. Fuses contain a soft conductor that melts easily. When a short circuit or overload happens, the fuse will quickly melt and break the circuit, killing power to it before there is too much heat.
Self-resetting circuit breakers are often substituted for fuses. They work like a thermostat, reacting to the heat created when current flows through them. Since wiring can handle an intermittent overload without overheating, these devices "reset" themselves after a short cooling off period, switching back on.
The latest vehicles may have small fuse boxes distributed around the vehicle, often incorporating electronic monitoring and control of circuits for protection, with fuses as backup. When a circuit fed by one of these starts to shut off intermittently, the problem is in the wiring, not a blown fuse. A
You can tell a fuse is blown by looking through the clear plastic B. You'll see solid, bright metal when it's OK and a separation in the metal when it's blown. When a fuse blows, Freightliner of Philadelphia Service Manager George Bollinger says to suspect electrical trouble. But since fuses are softer than wiring and can fail, and they're inexpensive, it's worthwhile to try one replacement to see if that fixes the problem. If the replacement fuse blows, get the problem diagnosed and repaired, says Dave Zimmerman, service technician for Freightliner of Philadelphia.
Here's how it's done:
1. If the fuse box is under the hood, wipe dry the cover first. If part of the dash, wipe up dust or accumulated liquids around the cover.
2. Release the clips that attach the cover by squeezing them together or depress the cover release. Rotate the cover away from the attaching clips or cover release and unhook it from its hinges.
3. Look up the amperage rating of the fuse. This will be listed inside the fuse box lid, outside the lid or in the owner's manual.
4. Get a fuse of the same amp rating. Using a fuse that's even a few amps higher than the circuit's capacity can cause serious trouble. Don't attempt to bypass the fuse with anything other than a fuse.
5. Turn off the ignition, or if dealing with a circuit not controlled by the key, turn off all accessories on that circuit.

If God is omniscient is free will an illusion?
I'm agnostic but interested in the truth so I do a lot of thinking and research on philosophy and religious issues in order to keep an open mind. It occurred to me when I was thinking one day that if God exists and he already knows everything I'm ever going to do then every decision I'm ever going to make has effectively already been made. This would mean that there is no such thing as free will. Since free will is a necessary ingredient for sin to be meaningful this has some pretty astounding implications. Thoughts?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Mark Kurtz 20+Feb 1 2013: Robert,
I am not seeing omniscience as related to free will. Omniscience means to know all, but how can God know the decisions of persons not yet born? Even God cannot know the unknowable. Each person is sovereign over his will and this God does not usurp or in any way abrogate the will of any individual.
Each person has the gift of will to choose to know God (more so in time) or to reject a relationship. Omniscience may be a fact for God to know human nature and all the possible choices we humans face, but to know in advance what the will of a person will decide, is probably too much to ascribe even to God.
Your concept revealing potential astounding implications suggests we humans could be lazy and never DO anything to correct an error or to help anyone!!! It suggests we can't do anything to change the outcome of any situation! To know we are going to sin? It just takes the concept too far if one accepts we are endowed with free will. Like you say, what is the point of human choice if God's choices are made in advance, which would invalidate our choices. I have trouble accepting our choices are made in advance and that we have no power to improve life for self or others.
Is this helpful or not?
Feb 1 2013: Great comment. The implications are that we cannot do anything but follow the program that is already laid out. Therefore, we can only be lazy if it that is what God has foreseen. I don't pretend to know the answer fully one way or the other. I just thought it would make a good conversation topic. Our acceptance of reality often has little impact on its actual course.

A queen will be chosen from three girls: Annette Maycoek, Lyle Ann Hunt, and Sheryl Burnett. Phoenix in the past has provided one of the year's biggest events in the Snowball.

Dear Sant, We would like to ask your help to make someone who is very near and dear to us very happy this Christmas. "Big-hearted Al," as he is AFFECTIONATELY called, has become very downhearted this year as usual for the gay season. Could you bring him a class of real students? He seems to always get "just a bunch of phonies" in his classes and it proves to be very trying. Anything you can do for this poor, dejected soul will be appreciated by all of us who love him. Love, Your Fan Club. P. S. If you can manage it, Mr. Moench needs an overcoat because it's cold out in the front yard. MANY COUNTRIES MANY CUSTOMS By Lynnette Richards In Mexico they deck the halls with boughs of flowers. The most common of the flowers is the "Noche-Bueno" to us, poinsetta. These Central Americans celebrate Christmas for nine full days, spending each night at a different house. The crowning event of each evening is the breaking of the "Pinata," a great earthenware bowl disguised as birds, fish, fat men and women, and other odd shapes; covered with colored tissue paper and bright tinsel, and filled with candies, sweet meats and toys. Church of Nativity In Bethlehem Christmas means religious services. First a great procession -of religious personages, followed by the commoners, winds into the Great Church of the Nativity, where religious services are held all night long. Before the services begin, the procession descends to the "Grotto of the Nativity." On leaving the streets are quiet and the faces lack the joy and anticipation common in many lands. Christmas Cards Switzerland, a snow- bound Christmas card is filled with tinkling bells and laughter for this is the greatest festival of the vear. This is when "Christkinl" (Christ child) walks on earth. Every home has a Christmas tree, covered with all sorts of decorations and goodies, around which the whole family sings carols. In many homes, the Nativity story is read from the great family Bible. But in every land, whether warm or cold, whether the people be dark-skinned or light, Christmas is love.

Season Ticket Prices Revealed
Kids tickets frozen at £95 for third successive season.
Related Links
Everton has announced it will freeze Season Ticket prices for all junior school children at just £5 per game for the third season in a row.
The Club's £95 Season Ticket has proved hugely popular since its introduction with an annual 8.22% increase in uptake from young Evertonians.
The £95 Season Ticket applies to children in Year Six (under 11) or below* in the 2014/15 season and is available for all areas of the stadium including the Family Enclosure.
Junior Season Ticket prices for children in Year Eleven (under 16) or below** in the 2014/15 season have also been frozen at £149, less than £8 per game, in the Family Enclosure and £199, just over £10 per game, throughout the remainder of the stadium.
>>Click here to view the full list of prices
Everton has also extended its payment plan options. In addition to an Everton MasterCard nine month interest free offer, the Club will offer supporters the opportunity of paying by Direct Debit in up to ten monthly instalments.
Chief Executive Robert Elstone said: "The combination of exciting football, great results and a fair pricing policy means we are seeing more full houses, record half season ticket sales and a healthy increase in average attendance.
"For 2014/15, it was really important that Goodison remained affordable. I am delighted to confirm a price freeze on both our junior season ticket offers and retain prices lower than they were a decade ago. I'm also pleased to be able to respond to requests from fans to extend our payment plan options and we can now allow fans to spread their season ticket cost over a 10 month period."
As in previous years, there's no booking fee for online purchases and all Season Ticket holders have the convenience of re-selling their ticket for games they are unable to attend through Stubhub, the Club's official secondary ticketing partner.
Although there is a small increase in adult and concession season ticket prices, Everton Season Tickets remain one of the most affordable in the Premier League with adult prices starting from £444.
Fans are reminded that the early bird discount for returning or renewing Season Ticket holders offers a minimum 25% saving when compared to purchasing on an individual game basis; for example an adult renewing their season ticket in the Family Enclosure in the early bird window will see an increase in their season ticket price of just over £17, less than £1 per game. There is also a 20% minimum discount for any supporter purchasing for the very first time before the early bird deadline of Tuesday April 22.
Highlights of the 2014/15 Season Ticket offer:
- Year six and under (under 11s) Season Ticket FROZEN at £95 - £5 per game
- Adult Season Ticket from £444
- Concession Season Ticket from £328

Lessons of Sandy Gas Shortage Fuel Plan for State Reserve
Albany - (WALK) Memories of hardships and gasoline lines in the wake of superstorm Sandy are the inspiration for a plan to establish the nation's first state-based emergency gasoline reserve, according to Governor Andrew Cuomo.
A $10 million pilot program, similar to the U.S. Strategic Gasoline Reserve, would include storing about 3 million gallons of gasoline on Long Island at Northville Industries sites in Port Jefferson, East Setauket and Holtsville. Northville won a competitive bid for the project, according to a statement from the Governor's office.
The program, known as Fuel NY, will be launched in June. Gasoline would only be available to supplement supplies for local dealers and suppliers during declared emergencies, according to Governor Cuomo. "Fuel NY will make our energy infrastructure stronger and better-prepared than it ever was before."

Focus: Science and Engineering
I must say this issue ended up being more science than engineering, but perhaps that is not surprising considering my scientific leanings. I thought about dropping the word "engineering", but since the S&E focus has become traditional, I decided to keep the word and wave my hands a bit. Our main feature article is from Dr. Steve Mann of wearable computer fame, and he has certainly pulled off a slick piece of engineering in his videophone watch shown on our cover. Dr. Mann is an accomplished photographer as well as inventor, and he gets credit for the picture of the watch on the cover and the one with his article. Dr. Mann certainly lives on the leading edge of this technology, and we are happy to have another article from him to keep us abreast of developments in wearable computers.
For those readers who like to watch the skies, we have a little of everything: satellite tracking, astronomy (even our French chef, Marcel, has something to say on this one), storms and lightning. Science articles can be found everywhere: in Features, Forum and Strictly On-Line—enjoy!
Linley Gwennap becomes a regular columnist for us this month with his column "Linley on Linux", where he will keep us up to date on some of the latest happenings in the electronics market for Linux. This month, he tells us what's happening in the field of voice recognition.
Speaking of columnists, Moshe Bar will also be joining us on a regular basis to teach us about kernel issues in Kernel Korner, and next month, we'll have an all-new column on cross-platform programming written by Michael D. Crawford. Both should keep our inner penguin quite happy.

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

What I want:
What I use:
How it works:
I received both of my devices with router/ end device firmware uploaded. I don't get a connection from one XBee to another until I realized that it is necessary to change one XBee role to coordinator.
On the hardware side this can be done by means of the Uno circuit:
The point with this AT* commands is that you start the session with
and no line end. Than you have about 5s to change the line end to CR line end and execute the next command. The 5s are adjustable …
The XBee manual (pdf, ~150 pages) contains a complete command reference.
To upload the firmware linux guys no longer have to wine X-CTU. One can use the really nice and free
which can be downloaded from moltosenso.com. I got trouble with the version 0.9x but on 19th march they came up with the version 1.0. Again, to build .rpm out of the provided .dep I used alien -r as described her.
Two remarks on the upload process:
A version is reported as "ABCD". Digits ABC
are the main release number and D is the revision
number from the main release.
"B" is a variant designator. The following variants
exist in ZNet 2.5 firmware:
Module Firmware
* "0" - Coordinator, AT Command Mode (AP=0)
* "1" - Coordinator, API Mode (AP=1,2)
* "2" - Router / End Device AT Command Mode (AP=0)
* "3" - Router / End Device API Mode (AP=1,2)
After uploading the firmware (I also uploaded the latest router /end device firmware) you have to change at least the destination address (ATDL and ATDH) of the end device to the coordinators ATSH and ATSL. Adapt the channels, baud rate and network id (ATCH, ATBD and ATID) on both devices.
I learned a lot from this tutorial: http://vimeo.com/3508123 so many thanks to @tellart

Network Manager IRON 1.0.0 available since 19/03/2012

and it works like charm after some hours of fight with old version 0.9.
It seems to be a real linux alternative to the M$ X-CTU.
The company provides a .deb version. With my opensuse I say:
zypper in alien # 0.0 zypper in alien
alien -r moltosenso-network-manager-iron_1.0-0_i386.deb
rpm -Uhv moltosenso-network-manager-iron-1.0-1.i386.rpm

A few years ago I stumbled across the work of Laura Blythman. Her work is so beautiful and fun, it's no wonder why it is so popular. A little while back, I sent a few questions to Laura, and was thrilled when she replied in such depth!
When did you become interested in design?
For as long as I can remember I have always been a 'creative type' with many different creative outlets. Though, only after high school did I realise that graphic design was the path for me. I went to a very sports focused high school so the possibilities of what I could do were a bit of a mystery until I took a wild guess and began an applied design course after I graduated.
From what you remember, what was the first thing you designed?
I remember doing (really bad) illustrations for my primary school calendar; I can't remember how old I was. I also clearly remember loving to cut and paste when I was really little. I remember being obsessed with the sound of scissors cutting paper and also soaking colourful kinder squares in paste. Oh, and I remember writing almost everything in bubble letters! Such fun!
What was your first design job?
My first design job was at Hallmark Cards Australia. I found out about the position at the last minute and was given the job on the day of my interview.
It was such a great learning experience and it really cemented my love for designing paper products and pattern. I still feel really grateful to my boss. I was such a Newbie and had SO, SO much to learn in every aspect of the job. It was like learning a whole new language, really daunting and overwhelming, but so rewarding and such a great challenge. After a few years there though, designing cards and wrapping paper for the mass market was almost like second nature and the challenge just wasn't there. I really gained a lot of confidence in my own abilities and honed my own personal style, and after 3 years I was well ready to test myself and move on to a new company and new style of design and expand my creative repertoire.
What is your favourite design tool?
At the moment I am loving creating hand text with pencil and paper. But Adobe Illustrator and my huge wacom tablet are my best friends.
Who inspires you? Why?
Oooh, I have so many favourite artists / designers / bloggers / makers / crafters. I also have some really amazingly creative friends, stylists, writers, photographers, designers, they inspire me more than anything. But to name a few:
Beci Orpin, Timba Smits, Jessica Hische, Darling Clementine, Rob Ryan, Ray Fenwick and Kareena Zerefos.
You most recently worked at Typo… what are you up to now?
I am actually on leave from Typo because I had a baby last year! So right now I am freelancing, designing a lot of gorgeous children's products as well as a few jobs here and there for T2 Teas and other businesses. Once the little man is a bit bigger I will probably take on much more freelance work as well as start work on my own top secret totally self indulgent projects!
How did you get the job at Typo?
I had decided to give freelancing a break and spend a little time again as a in-house designer PLUS I was also blown away by this new store Typo, and felt I just had to be a part if it. So I just sent an email and a sample of my portfolio through to the Studio Manager. It turned out my timing was perfect and they had just begun the hunt for a Senior Designer. After not too long I got the job after presenting my folio and having an amazing brainstorming session with the Studio manager and Brand manager about where I saw the brand heading in the future. I was just bursting with ways to improve and expand on their offering and style. I am pretty proud to admit that sales more than doubled since I began there.
How many people do you work with?
The team was relatively small. I was the Senior Designer for Typo and after a little while we also gained a fantastic Junior Designer. Because of my past experience and the fact that Typo is owned by Cotton On I was also responsible for designing the yardages / patterns for apparel in all of the Cotton On brands. It was great fun, I especially enjoyed designing cute patterns for girlswear. The workload was mammoth though!
What were the challenges in this job?
Well challenges at Typo were generally based around the huge workload and balancing my time between my much loved Typo product as well as managing the Yardage library or patterns. Challenges for me now as a freelancer are balancing my days between work for my clients and also looking after Alexander Eddy. My bub.
When you are stuck for ideas what helps you?
If I am stuck for ideas I give myself a change of scenery, I look at things on the web, flick through books and magazines, go out and do some market / retail research. These are all things that I enjoy doing and do constantly anyway. Or I just start playing with colour palettes. 9 times out of 10 I will begin a project with the colour palette, it just always feel like a natural way to begin a project.
What is your favourite thing to design?
I love creating complete ranges that encompass all things. At Typo the ranges were huge and spanned across Décor, Stationery and Greeting's . I would brainstorm a theme for the range with the product team and then I would put together inspiration / theme boards to present to them to make sure we were all on the same page with how we envisioned the range to look. Always keeping in mind who the end customer was.
Blythman has become an acclaimed graphic designer in the past few years. Her style has become widely popular due to the expansion and popularity of Typo around the world, who have really jumped on and praised Blythman's unique style. Nowadays, you will see Blythman doing some smaller projects of her own, as well as some work for Typo still, and other well-known brands. I'm sure you will begin to see her style around, if not her actual work!
You can explore the wonderful work of Laura Blythman at her website here.
This has got to be one of the first artist in a while that has really made me say WOW!
Meet Red.
Born in Malaysia, of Chinese decent, Red, who gets her nickname from her last name, Hong, sounding like the word 'red' in Malay, is a young, very talented artist-architect. After being born and raised in Sabah, with only a faint idea about her cultural heritage and the Cultural Revolution from which her grandparents fled, Red now lives back in Shanghai, learning, experiencing and appreciating the culture, history, and people of the city. Her work began with creating portraits of iconic Chinese figures using everyday materials, and she has since mastered her technique, creating portraits and images of many figures out of and using everyday and unusual materials such as food, flowers, coffee and candles. Her pieces are highly representative and symbolic and often have strong themes that reflect what she believes in and holds close to her.
Perhaps one of her most famous pieces is a portrait of Jay Chou, created by spilling coffee and pressing coffee stains from a cup into the paper.
Jay Chou Coffee Stain Portrait
On her blog, Red posts about the piece saying, "The past two weeks have been really exciting for me - I was commissioned by Nespresso through Connexia to do a coffee cup stain portrait of the beloved Italian singer Lucio Dalla on site in Milan. Lucio passed away in March this year while on concert in Switzerland and his funeral was attended by 50,000 people… [At the reveal] Some even had tears in their eyes. They told me in this portrait, it was his eyes that really spoke to them - they said he always had 'that look'. They also mentioned that he was an avid art fan and collector, and would have appreciated this piece."
Her other work is well worth mentioning and checking out as well. She has many inventive, astonishingly different pieces, but here are my favourites. You can watch Red creating these in the time-lapse videos she has put together.
The Challenge:
- 1 HP ink advantage cartridge - 1 HP printer - 1500 Sheets of paper - A few feathers
The piece is of "a giant dove that looks like it is flying out from the printer, to inspire everyone to let their creativity soar, especially in situations that seem impossible or too hard. I've done the dove, a bird signifying peace, with eyes of an eagle that shows tenacity and power, to show that while people may look demure and ordinary, they can also be strong and dynamic."
As part of a 4 part project based on the 4 elements: fire, water, wind and earth, Red has represented fire with this portrait of Adele. "Her song 'Set Fire to the Rain' inspired me to use candles and fire as my painting materials…but why? To me, Adele was probably singing about the pain of a lost relationship. Rain may be a metaphor for her tears she cried, and she is setting fire to it to burn and destroy her pain. I've used blue candles to represent tears, and by setting fire to them, they melt and flow into each other - "Watched it pour as I touched your face…" - and they form a portrait of Adele."
"I had the opportunity to work with my friend and amazing singer/songwriter Gerald Ko - who is also the first Youtube singer I started listening to! We discussed how a singer and an artist could collaborate, brainstormed through the story across oceans - him in LA, me in Shanghai (isn't the internet amazing?!), and we put this video together when I was in California last month for the EG conference."
Mark Zuckerberg 'Facebook' Portrait
Using 36 'Game of Thrones' books, Red gave a literal meaning to the term 'facebook'. ìI was in the States last month for the EG Conference and wanted to do a portrait of an iconic American… I decided on Mark Zuckerberg and I thought I'd use BOOKS for his portrait, to play around with the words, 'face book'! LOL. was that PUNNY or what?!"
This project is a perfect example of the influence of the culture Red surrounds herself by in Shanghai. Red comments, "When I first moved to Shanghai, I stumbled upon an old residential alleyway and saw bamboo sticks poking out of windows with laundry hanging onto them, waving in the airÖ I thought Zhang Yimou's portrait done in a Shanghainese laneway, with bamboo and laundry would be perfect for this project."
I believe this is one of the most touching, beautiful pieces Red has created. Using 2000 white carnations and 5 kilos of red dye, she has produced this wonderful portrait of Aung San Suu Kyi. She explains, "Red [the colour] represents love, passion, sacrifice and blood. This is the first time I'm using live objects - flowers - for my project…flowers, like humans, eventually die. This piece celebrates this little time we have here on earth called life."

It's the 1980s, and young Lucas is growing up on a small farm in the state of New York. Gradually, the family home, which used to be isolated in the countryside, becomes encircled by a rapidly expanding city. This childhood on the perimeter is suddenly at the centre of a conflict between a life lived close to nature and city life. It provides the foundation for the photographic work of this Yale Art School graduate.
In 2006, Lucas Foglia started out in the south-eastern United States, on a project which would last four years. He lived with and photographed these voluntary Robinson Crusoes, men and women who had chosen to leave the towns and suburbs behind. They lived cut off from a society in which they did not recognize themselves, or which rejected them. Without refusing science and technological progress, they adopted other ways of subsisting, consuming and even educating themselves. As Lucas Foglia says, "They don't reject the modern world at all. It's more that they want to live apart from it and choose the bits they want to take with them".

Botfly myiasis: a case report
Case Reports
Ken G. Ofordeme, MD;* Linda Papa, MD, MSc;†‡ Daniel F. Brennan, MD†‡§
From the *Department of Emergency Medicine, Emergency Medicine Residency Program, University of Florida Shands Jacksonville, Jacksonville, Fla., the †Department of Emergency Medicine, Emergency Medicine Residency Program, Orlando Regional Medical Center, Orlando, Fla., the ‡Department of Emergency Medicine, University of Florida College of Medicine, Gainesville, Fla., and the §Department of Clinical Sciences, Florida State University College of Medicine, Orlando Campus, Tallahassee, Fla.
Cutaneous infestation by the human botfly, Dermatobia hominis, results in furuncular myiasis. This condition is endemic to the forested areas of Mexico, Central and South America. However, because of widespread travel, furuncular myiasis has become more common in North America. Misdiagnosis and mismanagement can occur owing to limited awareness of the condition outside endemic areas. To our knowledge, there is only a single report of botfly myiasis in the recent emergency medicine literature, which is surprising since the emergency department is likely to be the place many patients with this condition first seek attention. We present and discuss the case of a 50-year-old man with furuncular myiasis acquired in Belize. Parasitic infestation should be included in the differential diagnosis of a new skin lesion in patients who have travelled to endemic areas.
L'infestation cutanée par l'œstre humain, Dermatobia hominis, cause une myiase furonculeuse. Le problème est endémique dans les régions boisées du Mexique, de l'Amérique centrale et de l'Amérique du Sud. À cause des voyages généralisés, la myiase furonculeuse s'est répandue en Amérique du Nord. Il peut y avoir erreur de diagnostic et de traitement parce que le problème est peu connu en dehors des régions endémiques. Sauf erreur, on trouve un seul rapport de myiase causée par l'œstre dans les récentes publications sur la médecine d'urgence, ce qui est étonnant puisque le service d'urgence est probablement le premier endroit vers lequel se tourneront de nombreux patients atteints de ce problème. Nous présentons et décrivons le cas d'un homme de 50 ans atteint d'une myiase furonculeuse acquise au Belize. Il faudrait inclure l'infestation parasitaire dans le diagnostic différentiel d'une nouvelle lésion cutanée chez les patients qui ont voyagé dans des régions endémiques.
Furuncular myiasis, a form of cutaneous larval infestation, is caused by Dermatobia hominis, the human botfly.1 Although "bot" means "boil-like lesion," this is a misnomer since the lesion is not a true furuncle.2 Reports of this infestation are uncommon in North America and the condition is typically seen in travellers returning from endemic areas of Mexico, South and Central America. We present a case of furuncular myiasis to highlight an unusual cause of an abscess-like lesion seen in the emergency department (ED).
Case report
A 50-year-old man presented to our ED in the spring of 2006, following a recent trip to the jungles of Belize. He recalled having been bitten by many different insects, most recently about 2 weeks prior to presentation. One bite on his left upper eyelid persisted and slowly enlarged to become an erythematous papule. The lesion was mildly pruritic, especially at night. He reported a central pore with occasional serous discharge that developed over the 2 days before his presentation. The patient did not have any constitutional symptoms.
On examination, a 2-cm erythematous nodule with a central pore was present on his left upper eyelid. There was no chemosis, no conjunctival injection and the extraocular movements were normal. The crust over the central pore was removed, revealing occasional pulsatile movement within the lesion. Given the fragile location, an ophthalmology consultation was obtained. Incision and removal of the contents of the lesion was recommended. This procedure was performed electively the following day by a private ophthalmologist. The diagnosis was confirmed by visual inspection of the extracted larva (Fig. 1).
Fig. 1. Dermatobia hominis larva extracted from a cutaneous lesion.
Myiasis is the invasion of subcutaneous tissues of a vertebrate host by the larvae of the dipterous (2-winged) flies. In humans, this infestation most commonly manifests as furuncular myiasis and is due to the human botfly, Dermatobia hominis.3 The human botfly is endemic to the tropical regions of the New World, including Mexico, Central and South America, between latitudes 25°N and 32°S.1,2 Other insects including the African tumbu fly (Cordylobia anthropophaga) and the horse botfly (Gasterophilus intestinalis) can cause similar forms of cutaneous myiasis.3
The human botfly has an unusual life cycle involving an egg transfer process called phoresis.4 The 1.5-cm bluish-grey adult female fly deposits her eggs on the surface of a captured hemotophageous insect, usually a mosquito or fly.5 This vector insect passes the eggs to the skin of the secondary host. Here, the elevated temperature stimulates the eggs to release the 1-mm botfly first-stage larvae, which, within minutes, will penetrate the human host's skin, often painlessly.4 The first-stage larvae molt twice over 4-18 weeks, and a furuncle-like lesion develops, with a central pore that provides air for the maggot.4 During the second and third larval stages, as the maggot feeds and grows, symptoms include a sensation of movement within the lesion, itching and sharp pain (usually nocturnal).1,2 Secretions may be seen exiting the central pore, and occasionally the larva itself can be visualized. In the natural lifecycle, the 18-25-mm third-stage larvae exits painlessly from the wound and pupates in the soil for 27-78 days, after which the adult fly emerges to complete the cycle.4,5 The human host's wound usually heals rapidly and without complications. Lesions commonly affect exposed skin areas, but the palpebral location we describe occurs in less than 5% of cases.4,5
As travel to endemic areas increases, a growing number of patients with this condition will be seen by emergency physicians in North America. Awareness of the diagnosis is important to differentiate it from other lesions, such as infected insect bites, abscesses and sebaceous cysts. Other exotic illnesses such as tungiasis, cutaneous larva migrans or cutaneous leishmaniasis may also affect travellers. The diagnosis of botfly is usually made clinically but has been aided by visualization of the presence and number of larvae via ultrasound,1 CT scan and magnetic resonance imaging.3 The diagnostic use of ultrasound2 is especially attractive given the increasing ED use of this modality for examining cutaneous lesions suspected to be abscesses.
Human infestation by Dermatobia hominis is usually not harmful, but failure to completely extract the larvae can be complicated by foreign body reaction or secondary bacterial infection. There are a number of reports of efforts to suffocate and force the exit of the larvae with such things as beeswax, bacon, chewing gum and petroleum jelly.2 Manual or mechanical extraction have also been described.6,7 However, surgery may be preferable as it consistently allows for complete removal of the larvae and debridment of the cavity.2 Preventative methods such as insect repellants, protective clothing and mosquito nets should be advocated for travellers to endemic areas.
Our case illustrates the need for emergency physicians to consider parasitic infestation in patients with a new cutaneous mass. The travel history, description of the progress of the lesion and the characteristic central pore serve as important clues. Ultrasound may be useful for visualizing larvae within lesions that were initially thought to be simple furuncles.

Let's Do Something About Drupal's Theme System
It's a mess. Yeah, I said it. It's time to admit there is a problem and get serious about fixing it. In this post, I'm going to explain what I think the problems are, and how I'd like to see them fixed.
During the last year, I've spent a lot of time working on the HTML5 Initiative. There has been an incredible amount of work done, by a truly awesome, and growing team. We've gotten a whole lot done so far. The HTML5 Shiv has been added to core, the major templates are all done, and work on Form API elements is moving along. We're also doing CSS re-factors, at minimum separating administrative styles from the rest.
Still, I've found myself very unhappy with the theme layer. I see a lot of work going into WSCCI and now the Layout Initiative that is really exciting. What I don't see is if and how that will actually affect the theme system we work with today. This has been really discouraging for me, mostly because I'd like to see a lot more than just markup changes.
I've also become skeptical as to whether or not improvements for PHP developers automatically translate into front end improvements. I feel that we got burned with the implementation of Render API. I don't think this was intentional or anything, just sort of the way things are. I believe the problems that it attempts to solve are hard and the way it goes about it is good, but it was implemented so inconsistently that it ended up making things harder. Many are unwilling to even give it a chance. Without consistent patterns to rely on, many of us are lost. Had the entirety of Drupal's code base been converted to use the Render API, maybe it would have been different.
We are Doing it Wrong
When I complain about the theme system, I'm often surprised by some of the reactions I get. Many developers know there is a problem, but some seem completely unaware of the problems we face, and the things (which they would consider hacks) we have to do to get the job done. So, in no particular order here is what I think is wrong:
Too Many Templates and Theme Functions
Creating a new template was the answer for everything in both Drupal 6 and 7. It has been done carelessly, over and over again, and encouraged as The Drupal Way. As a result, we have hundreds of them. This is just plain ridiculous, considering there are only 109 HTML tags, most of them are used in groups and many of them are text-level elements that wouldn't exist in Drupal's theme system. We'd never have theme functions or templates for
<span>, etc. At least I hope not.
Lack of Consistency
There is hardly any consistency in what we're doing inside templates and theme functions. Templates are a mess of arrays, strings, render arrays, and random theme settings variables. Look no further than page.tpl.php, which is the first impression newbies get with Drupal. In order to change a given variable in page.tpl.php, you need to first track down how it was generated and then figure out the appropriate function that will allow you to change it, which could be one of SO MANY different things:
- THEME_preprocess_page()
- THEME_process_page() if that doesn't work or you're looking for something that happens late.
- Theme settings tweaks in the .info file, and the UI, along with one of the above.
- THEME_menu_local_tasks_alter() if you want to modify contents of tabs or action links.
- THEME_menu_local_tasks() if you want to modify the markup of the tabs.
- THEME_menu_local_task() if you want to modify the markup for the list item and links for the tabs.
- THEME_menu_local_action() if you want to modify the markup for the list items and links for the action links. Oh, and don't forget to wrap that one in a
because just printing the rendering the variable alone leaves you with list items but without a
- THEME_links(), THEME_links__main_menu() or THEME_links__secondary_menu() to change the markup for the navigation links.
- THEME_page_alter() if you need to hide or relocate regions or get at anything inside them.
Data Structure
Data structure is a nightmare, and clearly an afterthought. The variables in templates are complicated, unreliable, and chronically inconsistent and it all starts with the data structure. Unless you are a PHP Ninja and can deal with pre-render functions, good luck trying to change a table into a list or vice versa.
Drupal may be notorious for its large, complex arrays, but IMO they are not the problem, nor is the existence of data structure. I believe the fact that data structure is whipped up on a case by case basis and pushed straight to templates in many cases is the root cause for the mess of a theme system that we have.
Imagine how much easier Drupal would be to learn if the data structure was completely consistent? Imagine if you could just guess based on experience where the value you are looking for is? Imagine if you could transform the format provided for the output from plain text to a definition list by setting one property before rendering? Imagine if contrib developers didn't have to write theme functions for everything?
Too Many Levels of Processing
We've got preprocess, process, pre-render and and there can be endless implementations of these. There are no hard and fast rules for when to use one over the other. Sometimes you learn the hard way that you need to use process instead of preprocess because some module decided to add a variable in the process phase, and nothing you are doing to override that variable has worked in preprocess.
Other times you'll get burned by pre render functions. For example, a while back I was struggling trying to prevent the filter help text from printing on a comment form. Attempting to hide it in a preprocess, process function or a form alter implementation simply did not work because there is a pre-render and process function manipulating it. The only place it would work was in the template itself. Ultimately I had to implement hook_theme() to use a template for the form solely to accomplish a simple hide(), because the template was the only place it would actually work. It took me hours to figure this out because the data I had access to in the theme layer was what it looked like before before the pre-render function changed it. That's way too much troubleshooting and steps to accomplish something that small. This sort of thing is just maddening.
Additionally, there is no shared processing phase across theme hooks. The default preprocess variables ONLY apply to template file implementations, and cannot be used for theme functions. This means if you need any of the default variables, such as attributes or anything else created here, you must recreate it in your own theme function implementation.
Doesn't seem worth it at the end of the day to me.
Your Output is NOT Special
Sorry, but it's just not. We need to stop treating output as a product of the immediate need of whatever module or API is generating it. The content should drive the output, not the system or API behind it. I'm not saying that we should remove identifiers from output, i.e. a class that labels a container a node or a block. What I'm saying is…
- Instead of creating new theme hooks for everything under the sun, we should have a common library of components and formats to pull from and utilize.
- Every container, for example, should be handled the same exact way, whether it's for a region, node, form element, or whatever.
- We should stop abusing theme settings to manage content and leave that up to things like blocks, so that content can actually be managed by Drupal. It is a CMS after all.
We don't have this today. What we do have is often abused and or not flexible enough, so modules create one-off implementations because it's easier for them to get the job done. This ends up hurting everyone. It's more code, more complexity, and the attempts to improve things little by little without any planning are making it worse.
What I Want to See
I've been thinking about this for a long, long time, and I've started to try and get a handle on what we could possibly do numerous times in the past, starting as far back as two years ago. Ultimately, I'd always be asked "How can we fix it" and always just gave up because the changes that would be required are just massive, and I don't know if I have the technical aptitude to pull it off. Recently I realized that it's never going to happen unless I'm able to communicate what I'd like to see somehow, so six weeks ago, I bit the bullet and started gathering my thoughts. I came up with the following.
Note: It's still very rough, and not completely thought out. It also doesn't aim to solve all of these problems, but I think it's an improvement. Also, I am a theme developer, not a module developer, so please don't destroy me if you see something you don't think will work. All of this is up on GitHub and you are welcome to tweak it, log potential problems and send pull requests. Ok? Great.
Provide Two Structural Templates
- Container
- The main purpose of a container is simply to wrap Items (see below). They can be used for anything from regions to nodes to form elements. They usually contain a heading, whether visible or not, and can print ALL children (items) in the base template for that container (sort of like the way you can print and entire view inside views-view.tpl.php).
- Items
- Items are structured content, which are eventually styled via formats (see below) and or components. They do not print ANY wrapper markup by default, and can optionally be wrapped with containers.
Both of these templates contain the same variables, and the same data structure for as much as humanly possible. They also include $append and $prepend variables that allow content to be injected at the beginning and the end of templates. These are special variables to deal with things like Contextual Links and Shortcut links, which also contain structured content and should not be abused like #prefix and #suffix are today.
Use Formats and Components to Generate Output
- Formats
- Formats consist of HTML markup as defined by the spec. Some examples of formats include, unordered or ordered lists, definition lists, tables, etc. Formats need to be extremely flexible. They are variants of the default item implementation, and the key to making them awesome is providing the same data structure across different formats so that they can easily be swapped to use one or another without having to manipulate data.
- Components
- Components are usually a combination of containers and formats that make up custom UI elements. Examples of components include Tabs, Vertical Tabs, Form Widgets (like password confirm and machine name), Carousels, Accordions, etc. Components usually have recommended use cases for application. Their implementation can vary from CSS and JavaScript standpoint, but their markup is pretty standard.
Some of the Potential Benefits
If we are able to pull this off the way I'm envisioning, we can drastically reduce the number of templates. We can continue to give the theme developer control over the markup without so many assumptions and a sane, reliable data structure and workflow, which IMO will make Drupal a lot easier to learn and a lot less frustrating to use. It should also allow us to use other theme engines, instead of being locked into PHP Template.
So, check it out. It's not, by any means complete, but there are some examples that should give you a decent idea of what it would look like:
Then, join the relevant conversations on Drupal.org:
- If you're at Drupalcon, come to the Re-thinking the Render/Theme Layers core conversation.
- [meta] Theme/render system problems
- Reduce the number of theme functions/templates

Featured Article: DPF maintenance
While the diesel particulate filter itself requires little maintenance, proper attention to related systems will help avoid problems.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's 2007 emissions standards required a reduction in both diesel particulate and nitrogen oxides. The new particulate standard was so low that, even with advanced injection and air handling systems, a particulate filter was needed to bring exhaust soot levels down to required levels.
The porous ceramic filter under normal, over-the-road driving conditions burns off the soot it collects and does not require frequent maintenance. However, it still has to be cleaned periodically because some ash ends up in the filter.
"The regeneration of soot in the DPF does not form ash buildup or any residue in the DPF," says Zack Ellison, director of customer technical support at Cummins. "Ash collected in the DPF is primarily caused by sulfated ash (TBN) in the oil." Ash, which results from burning of a small amount of lube oil, does not burn, even at temperatures that burn off soot, and must be cleaned up.
While certain specific DPF-related maintenance tasks are required, both the vehicle's maintenance and its operation have a significant effect on DPF performance. Therefore, running a 2007 or later model truck will keep you on your toes. The payback could be lower costs since your equipment will last longer, run better and fetch a higher resale value.
While the filter burns off soot as fast as it collects under normal highway driving conditions, soot will accumulate during idling or while crawling through traffic. In response, you have to actuate a fuel dosing system to clean the DPF, a process called active regeneration. Warning lamps on the dash will indicate the need for active regeneration or ash cleaning. Which lamp turns on depends on how fast backpressure is building up in the DPF, as soot accumulates much faster than ash.
You need to allow the DPF to go into active regeneration mode whenever practical. Prevent regeneration, however, when the vehicle is entering a shop or an enclosed environment where a super-hot DPF would not be safe.
DPF regeneration helps ensure exhaust backpressure does not rise to the point where fuel economy is reduced. So, "if needed, induce an active regeneration when prompted by the warning lamp," says Mike Kalkoske, quality services manager for Kenworth.
Another concern is recognition of turbo failure. "The DPF does such an efficient job of exhaust-out particulate removal that the previous symptom of a turbo failure – lots of exhaust smoke – no longer shows up," says Mack's David McKenna, director of powertrain sales and marketing. "At the very first symptom of a turbocharger failure, which is an almost instant loss of power with turbine/compressor wheel noise, the engine must be shut down."
The consequences of not doing this can be dire. McKenna says, "If the failure is contained within the first few moments, then DPF damage will be somewhat mitigated. Small amounts of engine lube oil can be force-regenerated off." But if operation continues more than a few minutes, the accumulation in the DPF will be so great that it will require "replacement of both the DPF catalyst and the actual filter as well," he says.
On-board diagnostics may help prevent some of the potential problems that might cause secondary DPF damage, but "there are still failure modes that OBD does not catch that would cause it to be damaged," says Amanda Phillips, manager for product planning for Detroit Diesel. "A turbo losing its oil or an engine leaking coolant are two examples."
Drivers need to be aware of unusual sounds, power loss, a loss of coolant from the radiator (especially when accompanied by a rising temperature indication) or high oil consumption. Any of these require immediate attention.

Emphasis on proper schooling and education from my parents while I was growing up has been a key influence in my life. Both my sister and I realized from a very early age that going to school to learn was not only essential but an integral part of our lives. Education can not only be the tool for success in life, but the right education can also evolve a person into a complete human being. The world of knowledge and education can open endless doors and avenues in life. I strongly value the role of education in every individual's life. As a mother, while raising my two children I emphasized the same importance of education, as I had while I was growing up. Not only did I highlight the priority of everlasting influence of education in their lives but I firmly believe that proper education can lead to the growth of a strong moral character.
My passion for education led me into getting enrolled into a Masters degree program in Elementary and Special Education in 2009. I have successfully been able to complete my degree this year. I strongly believe that every child can learn and can reach his or her full potential with some guidance. My different teacher trainings have enriched me with the knowledge and experience of teaching young minds. I aspire to be that teacher who will be able to make a difference in the students' life.
