This term was introduced by Denis Smalley to describe a listening mode amongst those with expertise in electroacoustic techniques. It is rooted in an aesthetic orientation that technology should ideally have a transparency in electroacoustic music making and listening. Implicit in the term is the danger that composers and musicians become divorced from the musical experiences of non-experts. The more informal term recipe listening is sometimes used.
Technological listening occurs when a listener 'perceives' the technology or technique behind the music rather than the music itself, perhaps to such an extent that true musical meaning is blocked.

Harty: String Quartets & Piano Quintet
Studio Master: CDA67927 2CDs for the price of 1 Studio Master FLAC & ALAC downloads available
Movement 1: Allegro con brio
Movement 2: Vivace
Movement 3: Andante pastorale
Movement 4: Allegro vivace
Harty's prowess as an organist soon permitted him to look for church jobs away from Hillsborough, first at Magheragall in 1894, a few miles away, and in Belfast in 1896, but it was as the organist of Christchurch, Bray, between 1896 and 1901, that Harty's enviable abilities as an accompanist blossomed. In nearby Dublin, musical activity was fast expanding under the aegis of the Italian pianist and composer Michele Esposito, who played a crucial role in the foundation of the Feis Ceoil in 1897, a distinctly national competitive music festival, and the Dublin Orchestral Society in 1899. Harty and Esposito probably met for the first time in 1899 when Harty elected to audition for the DOS. The Italian was not especially prepossessed by the Ulsterman's proficiency as a violist but there was clearly a mutual respect for each other's innate musical ability; and though Harty did not, as he claimed, become a formal pupil of Esposito, he nevertheless showed him everything he composed and the Italian was quite evidently an important influence in his early development as a composer (and later as a conductor).
The Feis Ceoil played a vital role in Ireland's cultural revival. Esposito earnestly campaigned for the festival to offer composition prizes in order to encourage the creative talent of native Irish citizens and those of Irish descent abroad. No doubt with Esposito's encouragement, Harty entered his first chamber work, a Violin Sonata (now lost), in 1899. It did not win a prize, but the following year he was successful with his String Quartet No 1 in F major, Op 1, the first movement of which was played at the Feis. This Quartet was in fact not his first effort in the genre. An earlier work in A minor dates from March 1898 and may have been intended for the 1898 Feis, but it was probably not entered on account of its numerous flaws. By 1900, however, Harty's technique had moved on appreciably. The first movement of the F major Quartet, full of invention and artifice, reveals if anything an over-ambition for developmental treatment in its zeal to explore new keys and new transformations. Yet one can detect a savoir faire in the handling of the quartet apparatus, and the melodic material is resourceful, bright and invigorating in its joie de vivre and contrapuntal dexterity. The will-o'-the-wisp scherzo in D minor, surely inspired by his knowledge of the late quartets of Beethoven and Mendelssohn, shows real flair in its quick-silver scoring and its love of tonal surprise, especially in the trio. The pastoral slow movement in B flat major is more expansive melodically and is richly scored. It also incorporates another surprise—the unexpected interpolation of the scherzo at its centre. The vivacious and technically demanding finale, which possesses musical ideas of lyrical interest and contrapuntal ingenuity, is an engaging if eccentric structure. Harty's developmental phase begins in a remarkably chromatic manner (curiously suggestive of Bruckner) which leads with some surprise to a false yet extended recapitulation of the opening thematic material in E flat major. Even more unexpected, however, is the introduction of an entirely new episode before F major is restored for the final reprise, which has, by now, taken on the rhetorical mantle of a 'rondo' theme.

An active and enjoyable way to discover Europe is hiking. You can walk in couples, as families, or with a group of friends. You can opt for an easy, pastoral route or chose an extreme mountain trail.
This is the best way to reach seldom-seen and protected spots, see breathtaking scenery, and have incomparable cultural experiences, whether in one of our wonderful European countries or a pan-European region. Vacations without borders: that's our suggestion!
The European Ramblers' Association is an umbrella organization for all the hiking associations in Europe, its objectives being to develop sustainable hiking, to protect Europe's cultural heritage, and to safeguard rural space. Their European Code of Good Walking encourages mutual respect between walkers and the countries they visit.
The length of a hike is extremely variable, ranging from a ramble of a few hours or a full-day hike, to trekking in the mountains for days, or even for weeks, with accommodation en route.
Europe offers, hiking enthusiasts 11 long distance paths (identified by the letter "E" followed by a number). These paths follow the existing network of both large and small trails in each country. They allow you to crisscross Europe, from north to south and from east to west. The length and variety of these trails is impressive: you can hike the entire trail or choose sections of it, according to the amount of time you have available.
So get your boots on, grab your hiking poles, keep maps and compasses at hand, and embark on an extraordinary adventure!
Among these eleven paths, the E6 path starts in Finland and crosses to the southwest of Sweden, via Stockholm and the lake region. From there, it takes you on to Denmark and all the way to the border of Germany to Lübeck, a Hanseatic town. Next, you follow the southwest Baltic coast via Kiel, continuing to Brunswick and, after passing through part of the Bavarian forest, you reach Austria and the famous Wachau region, the city of Melk and its famous church.
After that, the route takes you to Slovenia, a hiker's heaven. Wherever you are, you're surrounded by nature at your fingertips. Next, get acquainted with the Dinaric Alps where fantastic scenery is waiting for you. Path E6 crosses the country via the Julian Alps and limestone (karst) country to lose itself in northern Greece in its "backbone", the Pindus Range. You'll see ski stations and villages perched high up in the mountains, such as Samarina, the highest village in Greece. You'll also see the Via Egnatia, one of the ancient Roman roads. You'll have crossed 5,200 kilometers/3,230 miles and seven different European countries.
Path E4 starts in Tarifa, at the extreme southernmost tip of Spain. You'll walk northward, crossing Andalusia: it's your turn to marvel at the Alhambra in Grenada, Murcia, Ronda and its dramatic setting. Continuing higher still, in the route takes you to the Pyrenees, via Andorra and headed for France. Just follow your nose and you'll visit the sublime regions of Languedoc, the Cévennes, the Ardèche and the Rhône Valley en route to Switzerland, the crest of the Jura, and Lake Constance. In Germany and Austria you can choose between two paths; one is easier than the other. Both trails will lead you to Hungary.
Here the trail is called "The Blue Route" and leads you all the way across the Hungarian countryside from the Austrian to the Slovakian border, passing by Budapest and Lake Balaton. A little tour in Bulgaria, across the mountains of Rila and Pirin, takes you to Greece. The path leads you across northern Greece to the central part of the country and onto the Peloponnesus. Along the way you'll be immersed the beauty of the Greek countryside and the cultural richness of the country, and have the opportunity to visit unforgettable sites such as the Meteora monasteries or the cities of Delphi, Corinth, or the ruins of legendary Sparta.
Jump aboard a ferry and continue the route to Crete. Once there, don't take off your hiking boots, but go and explore the Samaria Gorge. Another little voyage towards Cyprus, and you've reached the end of Path E4. In Cyprus, the E4 trail links Larnaca with Paphos and its pine forests, nature reserves and the Cedar Valley, passing Cape Gkreko, ascending towards Mount Troodos, a few steps from the Monasteries, and then descending towards the Akama Peninsula. The trail lets you discover typical rural areas and areas of great natural beauty, all with impressive historical, archeological, cultural, and ecological value. You'll have traveled 10,000 km/ 6212 miles and visited nine European countries.
The Via Alpina offers an itinerary which takes in eight alpine countries. This route traverses the principal chain of the Alps several times linking Trieste (Italy) with Monaco, passing through Bavaria (Germany), Lichtenstein, France, Slovenia, Austria and Switzerland.
Dramatic scenery, winter sports, the northern lights and the midnight sun, saunas, and reindeer.
If the Alps were human, they'd be movie stars: world-famous, beautiful, charming and exciting.
The fascinating countries of the Black Sea region straddle the transition between Europe and Asia.

BMC Racing Team's Cadel Evans finished second Saturday on the first day in the mountains at the Tour de France to climb into second overall, 10 seconds behind new race leader Bradley Wiggins (Sky Procycling).
Concedes No Time To Wiggins
Evans made a bid for the stage win in the final 400 meters, but he was overtaken by stage winner and Wiggins' teammate Chris Froome, who counter-attacked to win by two seconds ahead of the pair. "I wanted to get some speed going into the curve," Evans said. "You try to take what advantage you can. Froome was really incredible. He rode the last three kilometers or something, so to follow me and then accelerate past me, he could probably take the climb at his own rhythm. From behind, it looked like he went easy." In the end, only five riders finished within 20 seconds of Froome. Evans said the gap could have been larger had the BMC Racing Team done even more of the work to chase down a seven-man breakaway in the 199 km race. "But when you see Wiggins has three guys with him and I've got one – or maybe I'm isolated already – what can you do that's going to last from a long ways out?," the defending champion said.
Van Garderen Set Up Evans
BMC Racing Team Directeur Sportif John Lelangue said everything went according to plan, despite Tejay van Garderen losing the lead in the best young rider classification he held after placing fourth in the prologue a week ago. "It's a good outcome for the team," he said. "We almost won the stage, Cadel did not lose time, but earned some places against other leaders fighting for the overall. There was a good teamwork with Cadel, who was well positioned by his teammates at the start of the climb. Then Tejay sacrificed himself in the flatter section before the two last kilometers, as we planned this morning. So we can say it's been a successful operation."

A Phase I/IIa, First Time in human, open-label dose-escalation study of GSK2636771 in subjects with advanced solid tumors with PTEN deficiency
Brain and Nervous System | Breast - Female | Breast - Male | Breast Cancer (ER, PR, and HER2 negative) | Colon | Colorectal Cancer | Endometrial Cancer | Gastric Adenocarcinoma | Glioblastoma Multiforme | Head/ Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma | Lip, Oral Cavity and Pharynx | Lung | Melanoma | Melanoma, skin | Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) | Other Female Genital | Ovarian Cancer | Ovary | Prostate | Prostate Cancer | Rectum | Stomach
What is the purpose of this trial?
To be eligible for the main study, your tumor tissue must have a greatly reduced amount of the PTEN protein (that is, it must score negative for this protein by a test). The reduced level of this protein is thought to indicate who may benefit most from taking this drug. The results of the PTEN test of your tumor tissue must be available before you may be screened for the main part of the study. Until the results of the testing are available, screening for the main study will not begin. In Part 1, this study will look at how people react to, and how the body uses GSK2636771 at different amounts and at different times. The effects of the drug, both good and bad, will be studied. Information about how the study drug you get affects your body and your health will be collected through a number of tests and procedures. GSK2636771 has never been given to people before. It has only been tested in animals and in the laboratory. It is investigational because it is not approved by the FDA for doctors to prescribe to patients.

Yes, I do! Several of my friends have met their spouse on dating sites and I also have a handful of friends that have met the person they are currently in a relationship with.
I too recently met someone on Match. I was completely surprised by it. I have always kept an open mind, but there has always been a little part of me that wondered.
Keep the Faith!
I have absolutely no idea. I'm trusting in God's Will and God's Perfect Timing. Putting myself out there for the first time in a long time. Who knows? My greatest concern is meeting others with negative baggage at this stage in life. It would be ideal for me to meet a man who loved his spouse and loved being married, but is now alone because she passed away. Someone who knows how to love and be devoted to a woman and loves being married, and would want to take that step again! That worked for my mother and her 2nd husband, who had lost his wife at a young age. They were then married for 34 years. However, like I wrote... it's God's Will, God's Perfect Timing. His plan, not mine.

Big Bite Baits Dean Rojas - WarMouth 4pk - $4.99
The Big Bite Baits Warmouth is a signature bait from Big Bite pro staffer and Elite Series veteran pro, Dean Rojas. Rojas recently used the Warmouth to log a 3rd place finish in the 2010 BASS Elite Series Event on Smith Mountain Lake, an 8th at the 2011 FLW Event on Lake Okeechobee, and he also used it to pluck enough big fish off beds to win wire-to-wire at the 2011 Bassmaster Elite Series Event on Toledo Bend Reservoir.
Your first thought might be swimbait, but Dean designed the Warmouth to be fished in a much different style. Dean fishes the Warmouth Texas-rigged, but he rigs it on the flat side rather than vertically. This gives it a unique profile and action on the fall that imitates a bluegill or baitfish. The legs and body design allow the bait to be fished sideways without spinning on the fall, giving it a natural gliding action. Also, when worked along the bottom, the WarMouth resembles a bluegill feeding on its side with its tail kicking up, making it a killer sight fishing bait. The subtle kicking action of the legs also make it a great swim jig trailer. Designed to be fished with an extra wide gap worm hook, three ridges molded into the flat side of the body let you skin hook the point to make it weedless and allows for better hook penetration. Available in several proven color combinations, the Big Bite Baits Warmouth is now available at Tackle Warehouse.
Comments: This is a good bait but a bit over priced. At $5 bucks, the eyes come off way to easy, not as durable and you only get 4? Not a great deal in my book. The positives though are that the colors are unmatched. Great colors. You would need to super glue the eyes before hand and the bait is unbelievably versatile. You can pitch it, flip it, use it as a swimbait, use it on a drop shot, carolina rig it, obviously use it for bedding fish and you can even put it on the back of a vibrating jig like the molix or SK naked blade. Up here in the north, Chart Bluegill works best. That one color covers every type of water from ultra clear to dirty. Just wish more of them came with the bag.
From: Joe: MI 8/29/14
Comments: Most people seem to only fish these prespawn, but i have been fishing them this summer with great success... fish them similar to a wacky rig, let it fall, then twitch them up 2 or 3 times, let it fall again... i fish from the bank and cast as well as pitch these, both work. i fish it weightless, but that is just me... eyes falling out does not matter, especially if it is only one... you can also drag them along the bottom, they come through vegetation quite well... only bad thing is they arent all that durable, but they are no worse than you average plastic, and the strikes these things draw might explain that.
From: Russell: Dallas, TX 8/14/14
Comments: I love the action on these suckers. Have been using the watermelon red ghost for pitching heavy cover at falcon lake. I've herd of some people having trouble with the eyes falling off, but just takes a couple drops of mend it on the eyes straight out of the pack and problem solved...good luck out there guy.....fish on
From: Chito: RGC, TX 6/20/14
Comments: Bought these to try something differnt at the local water. Fish really well I like the glideing action on the fall with a texas rig. casting this bait along ways to a small target needs a lot of luck it tends to fly in the wind do to desighn. However it is a grate bait and trigered a few finicky fish when sinkos werent working.
From: Bank Angler: Shando CA
Comments: I'm loving this bait! i have gotten 6 bass off beds with one so far and it lost an eye but I think it will catch some more. here's the trick. rig with a bullet weight, I use a 3/16 oz. peg it on some fluro with a 3/0 EWG and you're good to go. pitch it out past the bed and very slowly twitch/crawl it onto the bed, then when the bass turns around to look at it just shake it. If that doesnt catch em try a wacky rig.
From: Cullen: Ashburn, VA
Comments: got to use these guys the other day and bass were killin it. prespawn bass pushin up shallow next to stumps and rocks. really clear water in the pumpkinseed color, small weight. I know this bait is pretty much made for bed fishing, but the bass not on beds didn't seem to mind.
Comments: I am using this bait this spring(2013)for spawning bass and let me tell you, it's a killer, I rig it on a J rig and works really good.The tail shakes with just about any little movement of the rod tip and it drives the bass nuts,it will not last too many hits but mend it glue works like magic on this bait,caught @ 18 lbs. of fish today on this little devil.Great bait so far!
From: Charlie: Trenton, NJ
Comments: Sorry, folks, but i'm with kevin on this one. I'm a big fan of big bite soft plastics, but not this one. Never even got bit with this bait. I agree, it'sa great concept, but they never panned out for me. Sold them all on ebay this winter.
From: Dan: WV
Comments: HOLY CRAP! this bait is down right outstanding! if you can find the exact location of the fishes bed the bass will go nuts chomping it and trying to get it away, rig this with a 1/8 oz weight and go to town
From: Nick
Comments: Awesome bait. A lot of people are thrown off by it but it will catch you some big fish. Used it a a local lake and caught a 5, 4, and countless 2 and 3 pounders on it. They may be pricey but they are worth it.
Comments: great Idea but they do not work for me . waste of money for me .
From: Kevin: East, KY
Comments: Trying to gain confidence in this lure, could not get any fish to take this off a bed!!! Too my frustration I didn't fish with it all year after but I am willing to give it another try.
Comments: best way to use these is flipiing into heavy cover that my choice of action.
Comments: thought this bait looked so lame until I saw how dean rojas rigs and fishes it...decided to try a few bags...EXCELLENT...offers the fish a new profile for flipping/pitching. Looks just like an injured/feeding bluegill. If u've ever seen a bluegill feed on the bottom they often go sideways, almost struggling to stay down...this imitates perfectly and downright catches em. It's surely not just a bed bait either...they smoke this thing and i think it's a real big fish bait. Fished it on a pond where 15lbs would be an excellent bag and had about 21lbs for a limit...the day before on standard plastics had just shy over 14lbs.
From: Tanner: MA, USA
Comments: HOLY @#$^...Dean was right....rigged it the way he said, and BAM!!!! 10-23 on the WILD SHINER...awesome sight fishing bait, but I shouldve used a stouter 4/0 hook, and 20lb test instead of 14....live and learn....AWESOME!!!!
From: Roger: Ontario, CA
Comments: I found the best way to rig this baits is to use a 2/0 Gamakatsu octopus hook and nose hook the bait throw it out and twitch it alittle and hold on the bass will hit hard and kill this bait ( green bluegill ) works for me .
From: Erik: IL
Comments: I haven't used these yet but from the good reviews I've read I excited to. I'm planning on rigging these up to flip around spawning areas. Can't wait!
From: Jake: OH
Comments: picked up 2 packs can't wait for spring to try them. glad i read the reviews, now i know to reglue the eyes before launching the boat
From: Jeff: Jersey
Comments: A friend of mine left one in the chartreuse bluegill color without eyes, so I took it yesterday and caught 5 bass whit it before it was riped out of the hook, included an 8 pounder, that was the lunker of the day, and when I was recovering the plastic aftter a bad cast, 3 times I had followers, icluding one that jumped at the lure in the surface of the water... Incredible action of the tail, and yes the eyes don't last 2 casts..... I«m going to buy more!!!
From: Alejandro, Torreon, Coach, Mexico
Comments: Gonna buy a pack but just wanted to say something maybe a quick solution to the eyes falling off too easy just take them off before and gorilla glue them back on before you throw them in.
Comments: This little bait rocks. The bass love it. Eyes come off very easily, but other than that , they are awesome.
From: Chet: London, KY
Comments: Great bait used them for the first time yesterday and caught two nice 4 pound largemouths. Good swim action durable.
From: Mike: Dumfries, VA
Comments: Have only used is one time. Looks great in the water, but as others have said...eyes fell of WAY too easily. For 5 bucks a bag, I Will go thru the bag and determine if it is worth it or not.
From: Dean: Charlotte, NC
Comments: Tried this bait out at a local pond and the bass loved this bait. one of them actually jumped out of the water to grab this bait. need to get me some more of these bass candy!
From: Larry: Costa Mesa, CA
Comments: great little bait, but the eyes fall off way to easy, other than that great bait...
From: David: Kentucky
Comments: This bait has helped me in so many ways i have found this bait effective i many ways wether it be topwater or bed fishing i have caught BIG bass both ways great job big bite bait teams.
From: Cody: Hilliard, FL
Comments: Great Bait, try it weightless and fish it like a fluke,Awesome.
From: Chad: Douglas, GA
Comments: Just tried this bait out for the first time to see what all the hype is about. At my local lake, bluegill and crawdads are the main forage for the bass. The warmouth gave the fish a new look and really helped me with a bigger bite. Texas rigged, they are perfect for imitating a struggling/dying bluegill.
From: Matt: IA
Comments: EYES FELL OFF WHILE RIGGING THE HOOK THESE WILL WORK ONCE I GET THE EYES PUT BACK IN
From: Joseph: Rio, WI
Comments: Mild Success at best so far during the summer months. Spawn I hope that changes.
From: Ksbigbass
Comments: Ripped Open War Mouth, 7 Casts In & Went 2 War W/ A 6 Lb. LargeMouth...........
From: N: For Lake, IL
Comments: Good bait for pitching into openings and fish-holding spots. The first time I tried this bait, I flipped it underneath a tree while shorefishing. On the initial fall either a pike or large bass blew up on it and took me towards the shore and got off. Make sure you have your drag set. Next time I will use a baitcaster with this bait so I can thumb the drag tight.
From: JKhan: Chanhassen, MN
Comments: great sight fishing bait if the bass see they will eat it. I like the bulegill patterns the best.
From: Andrew: Stratford, CT
Comments: Ugly little bait, but its hard to argue with the results.
From: Sam: IL
Comments: just saw dean rojas beat gerald swindle by 1oz on toledo bend on this bait flipping for spawning largemouths great action and life like

Mack Williams: My 'Hail Mary' play up West Innes Street
Every now and then, one hears about a student sneaking out of school, leaving the grounds while not being seen, using "stealth," but low-tech, unlike that involved in the fighter plane.
I myself ran away from school several times, but wasn't put in danger of being sent to "Stonewall Jackson," the training school on a par with another oft-used threat back then, and even now: "the Bogeyman" (more recently referred to by Stephen King as the "Tommy Knockers"). Institutional rehabilitation by the state was not in my future, because the school from which I ran was private and parochial: "Sacred Heart Catholic School," then located on North Fulton Street.
My brother Joe attended Sacred Heart , then switched for high school to Granite Quarry High. He enjoyed Sacred Heart and was very academically successful, so my parents thought that it would be a good idea for me to begin first grade there in 1957.
In spite of my parents' hopes, things did not go well, as one of the nuns was from another country and somewhat swarthier than I, her combined "foreignness" (to me) making me somewhat fearful of her. That sort of thing is a sure sign of prejudice in the case of an adult, and similarly "uncute" when present in the person of a small child.
I am much less ashamed of my fear of the clothing the nuns wore at the time (the full habit), for that apprehension and dislike was directed only toward what was being worn, not the wearer. At this point, I can't even remember exactly why the nuns' clothing frightened me, because when I presently form the mental image of a nun, wearing her traditional "uniform," the words "saint" and "goodness" immediately come to mind.
Despite my personal "issues," a pleasant picture remains in my mind of a part of my school day there. I seem to remember a room lit with a shaft of light, as in those shafts of light seen in some painting of the interior of a medieval cathedral. A snack lay before each of us on the table around which we were seated. That snack consisted of cups of milk, and I think, animal crackers. The nun was leading us in prayer, and all eyes were closed except mine (or else my mental "picture" would not have been taken ), making it seem that even at that early age, my soul was already in jeopardy.
One day, my fear inspired me (an inspiration to be repeated several times) to "escape" from school. Escaping from school is the last resort, after the playing of hooky has either failed, or wasn't feasible in the first place.
Despite my brevity of years, I evidently had "mother GPS," knowing that upon my escape, all I had to do was run back up North Fulton Street, cross West Innes (a sign of good road-crossing skills, because even then crossing West Innes was no picnic), head up the sidewalk to the Square, turn right and run down South Main to where I would eventually come to where my mother was at work at W.T. Grants. At this present point in time, I don't remember if I used stealth in my leaving, or just bolted out of Sacred Heart's door.
Running played a big part in this, especially due to the nature of the person who was always sent by the school to retrieve me: a Sacred Heart football player. During those several occasions of my running, I don't recall whether or not the nuns sent the same player after me each time, or if the duty was rotated among several players, sitting on the "sidelines," waiting to be sent into the "game" at different times by the "coach."
My sense of direction past the initial part of my run up West Innes was never actually tested, because each time, I never made it much past the Capitol Theater. In trying to calculate the physics involved for the reason of my apprehending always taking place around that spot, I have finally come to the following conclusion: "A great number of small strides, no matter how great that number, will always be overcome by a lesser number of larger ones."
I still have a visual memory of the Sacred Heart football player gaining ground, with me as the goal line (or at least, first down). Each time I looked back, he was getting closer and closer. Like that last ditch effort in a football game, this was my "Hail Mary" play up West Innes Street.
To paraphrase Cassius: "The fault, dear Brutus, was not with the school's stars, nor mine, but in myself." As I previously said, this sort of behavior was repeated several times; and shortly following its last repetition, my parents enrolled me in the first grade at Granite Quarry School.

Category:Caring for Nail Dystrophy
From Pcwiki
Regular nail care is essential for those with PC. Patients use a variety of methods and tools. Following is a list of various medications, products, tips and tools which help PCers care for their nails.
PC does not cause infections. However, it is possible for those with PC, to get a secondary fungal infection (such as a nail infection or athlete's foot, etc.). An infection is caused by germs from the outside, not from something internally. Children with fragile nails are more susceptible to infection because they don't have the same barriers, but the infection is not caused by PC. However, infections do happen because it is often easier for germs to get through PC skin and nails. Infections are more common in children than in adults because children are more exposed to germs (through putting their hands everywhere, not washing well, etc.).
An antifungal treatment will not improve the PC condition; however, it may work well to treat a secondary infection. Most of these drugs are not designed for long term use; they are designed only to treat an infection.
Preventing Infections
"Daikins Solution can be used; however, just as effective and less expensive is to put 1 capful of bleach (unscented, plain household bleach) into 1 gallon of water then soak. This kills yeast which causes fungus and virus; it is powerful. Use a fresh batch each time as it loses potency if stored. Rinse after using. Apply Vaseline while still wet.
Questions: What about vinegar instead of bleach? Answer: It kills yeast, but it stings
Question: What about peroxide? Answer: Not as effective, plus it causes tissue damage.
Question: What about witch hazel? Answer: Okay, but it has lots of alcohol and it dries the skin
Question: Instead of using Vaseline, what about A&D or Aquaphor.
Answer: Okay, but more expensive and likely not really more effective"
Antimicrobial Bleach Bath
by Dr. Leonard Milstone, 2002
Aim for a 0.05% solution of hypochlorite. Laundry bleach contains 5% hypochlorite.
Use 1 ounce bleach in a gallon of water to give 0.04%. (2 tablespoons) Or put 30 ounces (about 4 cups) of bleach in the average 30 gallon tub. If you only fill the tub half full of water, use two cups of bleach.
If this concentration is irritating, it can be reduced to 0.01%.
Soaking should be for at least 30 minutes, 1-2 times per week.
K6a patient "Infected - red swollen, filled with pus. Nail pulsates and is extremely painful. Trim when feel the twinge of infected nail. With children, won't know until it's too late. Sometimes, can trim and avoid the swollen nail. Many times, must wait until nail "ripens". Then soak for long time in very warm water until nail is very soft. A gentle slice with a sharp razor blade may be enough to draw out the pus. Sometimes an especially thick nail will need help of large nail clippers, but pressure is involved with those, so if can get the pus through the nail with razor blade, the pain is less severe. Once pus comes out, soak again. We like the bubbly Hydrogen Peroxide. Then add an antibiotic ointment. If infection is too bad, will on occasion need a prescription antibiotic. Great relief when pus comes out. Sometimes it's not enough and on occasion, red lines have gone up the finger. In that case, an immediate trip to the doctor for an antibiotic is necessary."
K6a patient "If the nail area starts to get red, soak it in warm, salty water or warm solution of Epsom Salts as often as possible. Sometimes prolonged soaking soften nails so hole forms spontaneously - the best outcome. Soaking also relieves symptoms without needing antibiotics or lancing."
K6a patient "Swimming for us often results in nail infections."
K6a patient "We put Sally Hanson Hard as Nails (a clear polish) on nails after sanding them. We thinks it makes the nail more durable, and less prone to infection."
K6a patient "Infected nails; Very painful "our heart beats in our finger: and it's very hot." Wait for nail to mature (takes analgesic syrup to calm the pain.) Once the pus is assembled, bore with a needle and disinfect. Great relief when pus comes out."
K6a patient "Trim regularly using large nail clippers. Trim PC children's nails every few weeks using large nail clippers and razor blades. Soak nails in water first. Seems to ward off infectious nails. Can sometimes feel a twinge in nail to warn of oncoming infection. Trimming immediately can avoid the problem altogether. Never get infected nails as an adult, but young children still do."
K6a patient "I found out from one of my relatives that she was taken a strong medicine (very expensive as well) recommended by a dermatologist she met. She has been taking this medicine daily for the past 4-5 months I think and the interesting thing is that her thickened nails are healing pretty good. I went to see her and i saw that her thumbnail was almost leveled to the skin, according to her this same nail was really thick before she starting taking this medicine. The medicine's name is Seritral."
Informal comments from physicians on the IPCRR Physician Panel:
Dr. Peter Hull said "It is possible that the abnormal nails could become infected with fungi including non-dermatophytes. Lamisil would only work to get rid of dermatophyte fungi but the nail would remail abnormal if it was affected by PC."
Dr. Philip Fleckman said "Terbinafine (Lamisil) is a good drug for dermatophyte infections (but not Candida or other yeast infections) of the skin. Dermatophytes are a group of fungi that live in the top part of the outer, barrier layer of the skin (the stratum corneum of the epidermis). Dermatophytes cause athelete's foot (tinea pedis), jock itch (tinea cruris), and most types of nail fungal infections (onychomycosis). Because the nails in PC are thicker than normal, they are often mistaken for nail fungal infection and treated with terbinafine. Unless the nails or feet are infected, I know of no reason why terbinafine would improve PC."
K16 patient "Me on the other hand have it quite bad, well worst after the kids anyway. Now I am at the point where I don't even have PC in spots it is just raw skin and itches really bad. I also see that I am getting athletes foot or real bad itching on top of toes and between as well." Physician "It is possible she could have athlete's foot on top of her PC and if that is the case it should respond to to Lamisil which is a OTC medicine."
??? patient "I've been using Lamisil about 4 months & doctor asked me to stop taking it because it is not going to be get rid my problem."
K16 patient "While chatting with my brother, he told me his new doctor has been giving him Lamisil for his feet (fungal infection) and cordisone shots!! He just doesn't get it about his own feet....and apparently this new doctor hasn't a clue about what PC is!"
K6a patient "The doctor asked that we pick up an anti-fungal cream. She first thought lamisil, but changed to miconazole. At the store the only Miconazole was a 'vaginal' cream, but the pharmacist said okay to use on feet; they just didn't carry the 'foot care' package, but it would be the same. I started immediately to soak my feet with a capful of bleach and then applied the anti-fungal cream (Miconazole). I did that yesterday evening and today morning, and I would say it's already helping me a lot. Since the last 4 or 5 years my feet started to itches a lot, specially in the heels, and since I started with this medication it is not itching anymore. That's great!"
Tea Tree Oil
Tea tree oil is an extraction from the Melaleuca tree. Tea tree oil or melaleuca oil is a clear to very pale golden color essential oil with a fresh camphoraceous odour. It is taken from the leaves of the Melaleuca alternifolia which is native to the northeast coast of New South Wales, Australia. The oil has beneficial medical properties (including antiseptic and antifungal action), and is also believed to have beneficial cosmetic properties.
Tea Tree Oil can be found [here], other places online, and in many health stores.
K16 patient "We heard about tree oil from our son & his Australian friends. My husband decided to give it a try on his feet, especially when they swell up & get infected...and it does seem to work! They don't stay infected as long and it aids in the pain, but it does have a unique odor, in other words , stinky! ha ha but after a while you kind of grow to like the "smell". I guess the aborigines from Australia have used it for centuries, for every ailment and it has been only within the past century that "whitemen" discovered and now market it. A great product! I keep it handy."
K6a patient "Tea Tree oil for nail infections. Used as both a prophylactic (prevents the infection) and as a treatment. Not a miracle cure, but seems to help somewhat."
K6a patient "For nail infections I use Tea tree oil - An Australian natural oil known for its antibacterial properties. Soaked hands and feet in water with drops of the oil in water."
K16 patient "Some type of fungus in my groin area - pink blotches with a chalky feel. They itch sometimes and Iâve been treating them with tea tree oil to reduce the itch and make them go away."
K17 patient "I have tried a lot of things including Tea Tree Oil on my calluses. It did not work for me, but does seem to help when a toenail gets inflamed. My dermatologist recommended AmLactin (RX only I believe). There are several over the counter remedies I've tried as well. One that works fairly well for me (couple times a week at night) is Heel Rescue Superior Moisturizing Foot Cream. It comes in a 16 oz jar with a pump in the middle. It doesn't take a lot and as I said, I only use it a couple of times a week when I'm already sitting in the bed. A little goes a long way. I guess what works and doesn't work for one may or may not work for another."
K6b patient "For skin, have lotion. Tea tree, aloe lotion."
Trimming Tools
PC patients use a variety of tools to trim and manage their nails. Many of these products are also used to manage keratoderma.
Urea is an emollient (skin softening agent) which helps to moisturize the skin and is used in topical dermatological products to promote rehydration of the skin. If covered by an occlusive dressing, 40% urea preparations may be used as keratolytic agents (for debridement of nails and removal of calluses.)
Generic Name: Urea Cream, Gel, and Ointment 25%, 30%, 40%, and 50% Brand Name: Examples include Carmol 40 and Keralac
K17 patient "For thick nails I use a Rx Urea 40% Gel. This comes with an applicator and looks like clear nail polish. I use it twice a day and it dries pretty quickly (less than 5 minutes). I have been using on my two thumb nails for only one week and have noticed one of them is considerably thinner. The other one (right) was thicker to begin with."
Nail Care for Children with PC
K6a patient "Nail care for children. Trim baby's nails when asleep or relaxed. Use the sharpest pair of nail clippers you can find, and don't take off too much at a time. Then file the nail smooth, in one direction only. Filing back and forth seems to make it sore. The more we messed with the nail, the more likely we were to have problems. Groom their nails about every 2 weeks. The nails are more noticeable when they're longer, but it's the balance between "short enough" and "not too often". Then apply a nail polish top coat or nail hardener."
K6a patient "Trim regularly using large nail clippers. Trim PC children's nails every few weeks using large nail clippers and razor blades. Soak nails in water first. Seems to ward off infectious nails. Can sometimes feel a twinge in nail to warn of oncoming infection. Trimming immediately can avoid the problem altogether. Never get infected nails as an adult, but young children still do."
K16 patient: "Wait until she is fast asleep - that is the only way I've been able to do my daughter's feet, and that is how my mother did mine. I have about 45 minutes to do it before her sleep gets lighter and it gets impossible, and the feet are dry by then, but at least she's still for a moment. Maybe you could try it, too. Hope you find a way that works!"
Artificial Nails
K17 patient "I have really bad nails though but manage to disguise them by filing them flat and putting false nails on."
K17 patient "I always wear false fingernails. The big toe nails on both my feet are also false. You can still see the thickness from the side even with tips."
??? patient "My sister and I have been filing down our nails since we were pre teens. I have applied artificial nails on my own since I was about 18. We both have had acrylic nails put on professionally (when they first came out) but they didn't work out.... it took too long, was embarrassing and costed too much. So I just watched what the manicurist did and I knew I could do it myself. To make a long story short I am now 46 and I am still wearing artificial nails which I redo religiously once a week. My sister, who isn't as vain as I am, doesn't wear them anymore because they won't stay on with the type of nails she has.
Even though mine don't look perfect, they do fool most people! Now that they have come out with artificial toenails I also apply a fake one on my big toes and it feels great to wear sandals! Of course there are a couple of down sides to wearing false nails but I think it's worth it and it has made me feel more secure throughout my life."
??? patient "I manage the condition by using a dremel tool and thinning them out and also by going to a nail salon to have gel tips put on them, it took awhile to find a good nail tech who has a good attitude and is very patient with my condition. I usually get gel nails and they last several weeks and then I have to remove them. Sometimes if I am too ruff with my nails or accidentally smash them while the artificial nails are on they will get an infection so that's another thing I have to manage, not getting nail infections. Infections are very painful and require me using the dremel tool to take off as much as the fake nail as possible and sticking a needle into the nail bed until the puss oozes out. It is a pain I have learned to deal with because when I was younger I would have a few nails at one time infected and they would throb to the point where I felt it feel better if I could just cut my fingers off. After the puss is released the nails kind of shed their own dead shell and a new nail grows. My feet are affected by PC as well and I have to dremel them too. If I don't get enough sleep the planters warts will hurt and I will have to dig at them. Not having enough sleep ruins my day because everything on my feet ache, the calluses and everything. In the past when I have painted my nails after making them shorter and filing them down, and have painted them it's as though the nail soaks in the nail polish and it starts to hurt and feel horrible. It is so hard to remove nail polish from PC nails because the nails soak it up like they are a sponge."
Nail Removal
NOTE: For those with PC, there isn't a success story about removing the nails. They grow back. The only people I know who report success with this are people who do not have a PC mutation. One PCer has had their toenails removed, but they have had to repeat it several times. There are other similar disorders where nail removal does work, but so far not for PC. So right now, nail removal is NOT recommended by any of the physicians on the PC physician panel.
K16 patient "Had toe nails removed. The first surgery all the toenails grew back exactly the same. It has taken 4 attempts to permanently remove the nails, each time I had it done a few less nails would grow back. Now left with pain free toes and the nail bed has been replaced with regular old hard skin which is much easier to shave off. Still have 2 very stubborn nails left now (4th toe on each foot) which seem to refuse to stop growing. The removal of the toenails is not too bad with some strong pain relief immediately after the surgery. The pain seems to go within hours"
K6a patient "Nails are removed so they are soft, kind of a callus layer. I use an emory board and file them smooth. Then to keep from splitting or from skin splitting I use a nail hardener. Then days later I use vaseline."
K6a patient " Doctor shaved nail bed on big toes to see if it would make them grow flat. Made toe nails worse - quite lumpy. Painful operation."
K6a Patient "Big toenails always swelling and falling off. Causing a lot of pain. I had both the big toes on my feet removed. The procedure was not that big a deal. I spent one night in the hospital with a bit of pain (mind you I was on a bunch of pain killers) but not much worse then when they would swell and fall off. For some reason none of my other toenails ever gave me trouble. Procedure didn't work - nails grew back. However, the two big toe nails don't swell as often. Don't know if it's a coincidence but since the procedure (at least 10 years ago) they have only fallen off 3 or 4 times."

Rated 5 out of 5�by pacerman Great grip! Great padding and grip with these full finger gloves. I use full finger due to metal allergies and not a big fan of calluses. These replaced my first pair that lasted at least 1 1/2 years of use 6 days/week. February 26, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Rick best glove yet I have, in the past, used their (bionic) gloves before and was very pleased. This new one, is just better in every way. Dick's processed and shipped my order extremely efficiently. Will definitely be doing business with both bionic products and Dick's again. January 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Papabear Great for Crossfit Training A friend mentioned how much use they received from their gloves and suggested I give them a try. After 20 years of wasting money on workout gloves, I've finally found the best overall glove for the gym. They way that they are manufactured relieves the thoughts If dropping heavy weight, because the full finger technology gives you overall traction when it comes to lifting any type of weight. Although, I wish these gloves were a bit cheaper, they are hands down the best gloves on the market for any level of fitness. September 10, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by Jaybee Great working out gloves the only thing i gave this gloves a 4 star is because, they couldve put wrist support and better quality for the price. I suggest to buy a separate wrist support for heavy weight lifting. August 19, 2013

Rated 5 out of 5�by Big Mike Bionic gloves a must for Tough Mudders I used the gloves int he Mansfield Tough Mudder. Worked great for the obstacles and mud slinging. I have delicate hands so they were a must. Threw them in the washer and like brand new. Make sure when you wash them though that you close the Velcro or they will stick you your other items.

Rated 5 out of 5�by Rbazan I recommend I totally recommend. Best weight lifting gloves I've had. April 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Beagle368 Love the full Fingers on these gloves Product works great for weight lifting for me. I love the fact that I hang on to the weights a great deal with my fingers rather than my palms when I do dead lifts, Lateral Raises, and various other things that require holding on securely to weights rather than pushing them upwards only. The full fingers help me to hold on more easily without the weight slipping from my hands. The rest of the glove also helps in reducing calouses on my hands when I lift any weights. April 2, 2013

I'll append a sentence:
Supply constraints are being caused by limited availability of one crucial component. The key component? Undesirability. Lack of undesirability is causing supply constraints of the iPhone 4S.

Light and durable.
On race day, the list of things that you don't need almost surpasses the things that you do. For example, you're able to do without cargo pockets and fabric that tears with the slightest threat of being dragged over rocks. More importantly, though, you need the ideal combination of burly and lightweight that's found in the Royal Racing Race Shorts.
These shorts are constructed from a durable, yet breathable, 500D Cordura fabric. If you're familiar with your Cordura, then you're aware that this material is used in everything from messenger bags to seat belts. But, unlike the fiber-grade that's used in these applications, the 500D used here features a lighter, 500 denier fiber weight. This way, the material is more malleable and less stuffy. Furthering the construction, Royal Racing actually laser cut the panels of the shorts in order to provide an excellent, pedal-friendly fit. And adding to this, are four-way stretch flex zones in the front and rear that allow unrestricted body English to clean aggressive lines.
Royal racing included wide waistband to securely hold the Race shorts in place. And for adjustment, there's also two hook-and-loop adjustment tabs along the waist, as well. In terms of comfort, Royal has also incorporated a mesh liner that prevent abrasion with the outer-layer, while also assisting in wicking moisture away from the skin. At the back of the race short is a coccyx padded panel for added protection at the tailbone -- a place where your armor typically won't cover.
The Royal Racing Race Shorts are available in five sizes from Small to XX-Large and in the colors Black/white, Royal Blue/white, and Red/white.

The best of our readers' ideas on how to structure defined ambition pensions
This guide to Pensions Stability explores the new financial and operational model for defined benefit (DB) pension schemes. Pension schemes are still being run with far greater risk than is necessary and there is an opportunity to create a more stable pensions environment for trustees and sponsors.
This inaugural survey among 326 members of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) and the Pensions Management Institute (PMI) asked whether auto-enrolment will deliver on its goals; if contribution rates for employees and employers need to rise; and whether pensions tax relief needs further reform.

I don't see it in the above list, so let me just add the salad made with whole wheat cous cous, arugula and cherries that was posted earlier this year to the mix. I absolutely love it - there are so many delicious flavors and textures, it's healthy and filling, and it gets better the next day. In the last few months it has become part of my regular rotation and I think it'll stay there for a good long while.

United States Department of Agriculture
Agricultural Research Service
Research is focused on broadening the biodiversity of forage germplasm and providing an array of improved plant materials for upgrading both semiarid and irrigated private and public lands in the western United States. Specific germplasm improvement projects are underway to provide plants for conservation, reclamation, recreation, and forage production purposes. New genetic combinations, germplasm introductions and plant selection provide an excellent gene pool for use in developing new plant materials. Modern methods of biotechnology are used to improve the efficiency of the plant breeding efforts. Polymerase chain reaction, RAPD, and FISH procedures, genetic markers, DNA sequencing, marker assisted selection and finger printing techniques are used to identify desirable genes such as those imparting cold temperature growth, seedling vigor, salt tolerance and reduced seed dormancy. Physiological and biochemical studies are effected to improve the knowledge base related to water-use efficiency, drought tolerance, cool temperature growth, nitrogen metabolism, and other adaptations that impact seedling vigor and enhanced plant growth in semiarid environments.

The body of a 26-year-old woman was found Monday afternoon submerged in the San Lorenzo River behind Highlands Park in Ben Lomond.
Search and Rescue teams from the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office found the body of Soquel resident Guadalupe Cortes in the river, hours after she was reported missing by an acquaintance.
According to Sheriff's spokeswoman April Skalland, Cortes was swimming in the river with two men on Sunday, Feb. 3. She was last seen at 12:30 p.m.
At 9 a.m. the next day, one of the men she had been swimming with called the Sheriff's Office to report Cortes missing.
More than 15 Sheriff's Office Search and Rescue volunteers and staff members began to comb the San Lorenzo River and its banks before finding Cortes' submerged in the river about 1/8 of a mile from the Highland's Park Senior Center at about 3:30 p.m. on Monday.
The Sheriff's Office declined to release any information about the cause of death until the coroner's report is finished. They said they have interviewed several people who know Cortes as part of the investigation.
"They (the coroner) is doing an exam today and we'll have results in the next couple of days," Skalland said Tuesday afternoon.
Cortes 1996 green jeep was found parked in the Highland's Park parking lot on Monday afternoon.
The Sheriff's Office has asked that anyone with information call the investigations division at 831-454-2311.

Hi, new here from NYC. I've been doing winter hiking up in the catskills region and would like something higher. My gf and I've made it up a 2.6 mile ascent with 2500ft in about 3 hrs. So we figure mt adams, is roughly double that in distance and elevation, doable in a single day provided we get an early start.
Thinking of going up Adams via airline this weekend (11/28-29). Anyone know the conditions above and below the tree line?
Would stabilicers be fine or would I need full crampons? Also, I heard it was supposed to warm up this weekend so am I expecting temps ~10F or would it still be subzero?
