Wheel falls off in MontpelierOctober 31,2012
Wheel falls off in Montpelier
In these lean financial times when so many families are struggling, it appears the Montpelier City Councils plan to spend $5,000 to place a sign on a building whose architecture and location literally scream City Hall is not only a waste of money but also insensitive. To this observer, who is frequently entertained and sometimes puzzled by the comings and goings and recurring controversies in our capital city, it would seem that a wheel has fallen off the leadership wagon in Montpelier, whose diverse populace include poets, playwrights and people who keep pigs.
That said, I wonder whatever happened to those runaway piglets whose escape was highlighted in a recent Times Argus Montpelier police report. Did those little guys become bacon and ham, or are they still on the lam?

LOS ANGELES -- UCLA football coach Karl Dorrell took his family to Maui this summer for vacation. To his chagrin, he was beaten one day on the golf course by his 12-year-old son, Chandler.
According to his dad, Chandler Dorrell is quite a player for his age. But if Karl's golf game is anything like his head-coaching career to date, he cards a bogey for every birdie.
Dorrell's first four years with the Bruins were characterized by a step back for nearly every stride forward. The record went from 6-7 to 6-6 to 10-2, then backslid to 7-6 last season.
An eye-opening thumping of lordly Oklahoma keyed a kismet-kissed 8-0 start in 2005, but that was followed by a 38-point loss to lowly Arizona and a 47-point atomizing at USC. Last year UCLA scored a liberating December upset of the Trojans, knocking their hated rival out of national title competition, then followed it with a miserable 17-point bowl loss to Florida State. That left UCLA 1-3 in bowl games under Dorrell, despite being favored in all four.
These powder-blue peaks and valleys are why Dorrell's .580 winning percentage ranks as the lowest for any Bruins coach since 1964. Combine that with the obnoxious 48-4 record at USC since Dorrell arrived, and tepid improvement almost feels like regression.
Now comes a season in which progress is expected to be measured in miles, not inches. With 20 returning starters and a bunch of winnable road games, the time is now for UCLA to win back a share of Los Angeles and make a push into the national elite. The Bruins begin the season ranked 14th in the AP poll, highest they've been in August since 1998.
"It's a great place to be on paper," Dorrell said. "Because it's on paper, there's an expectation. That's pressure. Can we handle that pressure? I believe this team has the maturity to do that."
There is a surplus of maturity at UCLA, from the 25 seniors on the roster to married, 24-year-old junior quarterback Ben Olson. Even with a new offensive coordinator (Jay Norvell, who came over from Nebraska), the learning curve should be no steeper than an anthill this August.
"We're more mature," All-America defensive end Bruce Davis said. "We know what it takes to win football games. There's nothing in college football we haven't seen."
Oh, there is one thing, at least. These Bruins have never seen a Pac-10 title up-close and personal. And everyone knows who they have to go through to get there.
Living with USC towering over their city and their conference has not been easy for the current Bruins. Even when UCLA had that 10-2 year, USC was going 13-0. The Trojans get the championship rings, the Heismans, the Rose Bowl bids, the pub and the love. UCLA gets asked what it's like in their shadow.
"The mind-set outside the conference is that there's one program and then there's everybody else," Dorrell said. "If you ask the coaches, we don't like that impression."
That's why beating USC 13-9 last year was such a huge deal in Westwood. It ended a seven-year losing streak in the rivalry, and first-year defensive coordinator DeWayne Walker made a name for himself by blitzing the pants off USC quarterback John David Booty. Breaking the Trojans' NCAA-record streak of 63 straight games scoring at least 20 points was great therapy for a program with an inferiority complex.
"It's a great win for us and does a lot for our program," Davis said. "It's a great feeling to beat them when they're supposed to be on their way to the national championship and they're the juggernaut. Now we don't have to listen to reporters sliding in comments or taking shots at us [for always losing to USC].
"But it doesn't mean we're arrogant and complacent."
Perhaps that complacency lesson was learned from the post-USC flop in the bowl game -- which, as Davis pointed out, cost UCLA offseason momentum and a few spots in the preseason polls. But losing to Florida State was not the only unexpected pratfall for the Bruins last year.
"I just expect us to be a lot more consistent and not overlook certain games," Davis said. "We did lose to [5-7] Washington last year, and I think that was the case in that game."
Beyond complacency, there were issues last season with quarterback play. Former national No. 1 high school recruit Olson began the year as the starter and lasted five games before being injured and giving way to Patrick Cowan. But even when both were healthy there was significant debate over who was UCLA's better QB. The team produced just 200 passing yards per game last year, 56th in the nation and its lowest average in at least a decade.
Both quarterbacks are back this year, but Olson won the spot in the spring. Period. For the time being.
"We don't have a quarterback controversy," Dorrell said. "It's just competition now.
"I see a difference in Ben. It's like a little level of maturity he's at right now. I noticed the difference as soon as he got married [in May]. It's almost like he reformed, reorganized his priorities. Like he's really sure of himself. I just think he's really focused on having a great season."
The support system is certainly in place for Olson. He'll have a veteran line in front of him and a multitude of weapons at his disposal, from running back Chris Markey (1,107 yards rushing, 35 receptions) to receivers Marcus Everett, Joe Cowan, Brandon Breazell and Logan Paulsen.
The defense has a chance to be tremendous -- something not often said in Westwood. Last year was the first time since 1997 that UCLA didn't allow a single regular-season opponent to score 40 points in a game, and this year it should only get better. Walker's all-pressure, all-the-time scheme produced 40 sacks in 2006, tied for sixth nationally, and 10 starters return.
In terms of working in new personnel, replacing standout kicker Justin Medlock will be the biggest challenge. In terms of schedule, this season sets up nicely.
The Bruins' first five road games -- Stanford, Utah, Oregon State, Washington State, Arizona -- are against teams with an un-threatening 2006 average Sagarin rating of 50th. If UCLA takes care of business in the Rose Bowl and is ready to live up to its ranking, it could be 11-0 when bussing across town to play USC on Dec. 1.
"That would be a dream come true if it came down to that," Davis said.
There are three months of games before then, of course. Plenty of birdie opportunities for the Bruins -- but plenty of potential bogeys, too.

February 8, 2015 - Had this at the end of a night filled with vodka and IPA's. Wow, was this a nice change up. Only had a glass after I aerated the bottle into a Riedel small Cabernet decanter. I don't remember exactly what I was tasting but this vintage of Spottswoode continues to impress and get better every time I go back to it. I would love to find more. This is in a great spot right now even after a quick aeration and super short time in decanter. Drink up!!
My score may be a little high because I love Spottswoode and was already pretty under the influence while tasting.

FORT COLLINS, Colo.–The Colorado State University Athletics Department announced Tuesday that Tynan's Fort Collins Nissan & Tynan's Fort Collins Kia, proud supporters of Ram Athletics for over 30 years and a pillar in the Fort Collins, Loveland & Northern Colorado community, has entered into a partnership with the university that will make Tynan's a sponsor of CSU men's basketball, women's basketball and volleyball at Moby Arena.
"We are very proud to have been supporters of CSU Athletics for the past 30 years" said Ed Tynan, Owner/G.M. of Tynan's Fort Collins Nissan and Tynan's Fort Collins Kia, and a Colorado native. "My wife Julie, my sister-in-law Anne and several of my nephews and other relatives attended CSU. We all bleed green and gold! We are extremely excited about this most recent three-year partnership with CSU Athletics. The Rams are Fort Collins' hometown university and team, and we at Tynan's are the hometown Nissan and Kia dealer! The bottom line is that it is about giving back and supporting the kids, coaches and administration. I am proud to be a CSU Ram!"
The Rams have made Moby Arena one of the most intimidating home courts for visiting teams of all three sports that call it home. That dominance has brought increased attendance and made Moby Arena one of the most formidable home-court environments in college spots.
"This is an exciting and fulfilling partnership for Colorado State athletics," said Jason Layton, Sr. Associate AD for Sales and Marketing. "Tynan's has been a long-time partner with CSU and valued community leader. Their support has played an important role in our success and growth over the years. We're excited to deepen that relationship and extend the reach of their support."

The Transformation of the World : A Global History of the Nineteenth Century

AbeBooks may have this title (opens in new window).Try AbeBooks
A monumental history of the nineteenth century, The Transformation of the World offers a panoramic and multifaceted portrait of a world in transition. Jurgen Osterhammel, an eminent scholar who has been called the Braudel of the nineteenth century, moves beyond conventional Eurocentric and chronological accounts of the era, presenting instead a truly global history of breathtaking scope and towering erudition. He examines the powerful and complex forces that drove global change during the "long nineteenth century," taking readers from New York to New Delhi, from the Latin American revolutions to the Taiping Rebellion, from the perils and promise of Europe's transatlantic labor markets to the hardships endured by nomadic, tribal peoples across the planet. Osterhammel describes a world increasingly networked by the telegraph, the steamship, and the railways. He explores the changing relationship between human beings and nature, looks at the importance of cities, explains the role slavery and its abolition played in the emergence of new nations, challenges the widely held belief that the nineteenth century witnessed the triumph of the nation-state, and much more. This is the highly anticipated English edition of the spectacularly successful and critically acclaimed German book, which is also being translated into Chinese, Polish, Russian, and French. Indispensable for any historian, The Transformation of the World sheds important new light on this momentous epoch, showing how the nineteenth century paved the way for the global catastrophes of the twentieth century, yet how it also gave rise to pacifism, liberalism, the trade union, and a host of other crucial developments.show more

Review quote
Jurgen Osterhammel, Winner of the 2012 Gerda Henkel Prize, of the Gerda Henkel Foundation One of Choice's Outstanding Academic Titles for 2014 One of Bloomberg Businessweek's Best Books of 2014, chosen by Satiyajit Das One of Marginal Revolution.com's (Tyler Cowen) Best Non-Fiction Books of 2014 "Osterhammel has written one of the most important, consequential works of history to appear in the post-cold war era. It has, rightly, been called an instant classic... [T]his classic book should be indispensable reading for historians and for politically curious world citizens everywhere. It could make us better, more capacious citizens, more aware of the world we live in."--Fritz Stern, The New York Review of Books "A work of tremendous conceptual precision, breadth and insight, a masterpiece that sets a new benchmark for debates on the history of world society."--Benjamin Ziemann, Times Literary Supplement "[A] big book in every sense... An age of such panoramic creations deserves a chronicler with suitably panoramic inclinations. It has found a very able one in Jurgen Osterhammel."--Jeffrey Wasserstrom, Wall Street Journal "A milestone of German historical writing, one of the most important historical books of the last several decades... [A] mosaic-like portrait of an epoch."--Jurgen Kocka, Die Zeit "[W]eighty in every sense of the word... [A]n epic, masterly and sprawling mosaic of the age that built on, if only as reaction, foundations laid down by the Enlightenment... Osterhammel's compelling structuring brings home that the way we understand the world today is largely determined by institutions and innovations of the 19th century--and a peculiarly Eurocentric lens they provide. Alive to the potential for bias that this inevitably brings, the German historian has taken pains to create a genuinely world history of the age... [T]he rendering of such a mind-boggling tapestry of human experience is deft and accessible."--Ben Richardson, South China Morning Post "[A] 1165 pp. German Braudel-like take on the importance of the 19th century."--Tyler Cowen, Marginal Revolution "[V]ast, weighty, original, enthralling, exhausting and intimidating... [I]t is impossible to do it full and adequate justice, even in a lengthy review such as this. Part monster-piece, part masterpiece, its limitations are inescapably those of the global history genre... [I]t is a work of prodigious scholarship and astonishing authorial stamina; within the confines of the subject, it raises the study of global history to a new level of academic sophistication and geographical comprehensiveness; it abounds with memorable phrases and aphorisms, which betoken a lively and playful mind; and it offers wise and original insights about the many ways in which the 19th century made the world that we still, today, inhabit. If you only read one work of history this summer (and, believe me, it will take you all of a very long summer), then The Transformation of the World should definitely be it."--Sir David Cannadine, Financial Times "Massive ... interesting ... impressive... The coverage is in many respects much greater than that of Braudel, not only geographically but also conceptually... Osterhammel's ambition, industry and scale shows up the work of all-too-many other historians. Similar books should be produced for other centuries. Let us hope that British historians can rise to the challenge of writing them."--Jeremy Black, Standpoint "This superb study gives form to a global history that lasts from the late 18th well into the 20th century and it does so without oversimplifying. It is exhilarating to find a system builder with such a feeling for nuance and difference. The only study comparable is Christopher Bayly's The Birth of the Modern World. This thick, dense book will prove most useful for scholars; the history enthusiast will find there is no match for this resource. In it, there is much to appreciate."--Library Journal (starred review) "[A] work of panoramic scope and rare historical imagination."--Tony Barber, Financial Times "Jurgen Osterhammel's fine The Transformation of the World: A Global History of the Nineteenth Century ... swoops, shimmies and carves ellipses and spirals through the facts to give readers an insightful view of the nineteenth century in all its complexity and confusion. In a great work of scholarship, Professor Osterhammel ... and his able translator ... Patrick Camiller have fashioned a remarkable picture of the nineteenth century... [It] brings a new meaning to the term block buster."--Satyajit Das, naked capitalism "Jurgen Osterhammel's rich and thoughtful book The Transformation of the World, skillfully translated by Patrick Camiller, has the great virtue of addressing with careful attention what was and was not transformed over the 19th century."--Frederick Cooper, Public Books "Writing meaningfully about global history is ambitious at best, but this work on the 19th century succeeds... Nearly every page offers new insights about world history and specific countries' global contexts. This book is eminently suitable for advanced general readers and undergraduates and should be mandatory reading for all graduate students of modern history as a way to set their own specializations in a broader context."--Choice "There have been two massive history books published this year that deserve to be widely read. One is the English translation of The Transformation of the World: A Global History of the Nineteenth Century by the German historian Jurgen Osterhammel."--Christopher Sylvester, Financial Times "Professor Jurgen Osterhammel's fine book is anything but a linear recitation of events. Instead, it swoops, shimmies and carves ellipses and spirals through facts to give readers a remarkable picture of the 19th century, which has shaped much of the present world."--Satyajit Das, Bloomberg Businessweek "The patient reader who finishes this 1,000-page tour of the 19th century emerges with a richer, deeper grasp, a better sense of what is truly unique about the global village, and global Asia, of our own times. This is world history at its best."--John Delury, Global Asia "In this sweeping panorama, Osterhammel captures the dramatic shifts in how people lived and understood life during the nineteenth century... Osterhammel offers a rich 'global history' of the century, one that features the West prominently but avoids Eurocentrism with vivid portraits of non-Western peoples and societies."--Foreign Affairs "The Transformation of the World is lavishly reinforced with critical apparatus (that, too, must have been a labor of Hercules to translate--I honestly never expected to see this book in English), but by far its greatest attraction is the intelligence and more important the wisdom of its author. It's a towering achievement no serious reader should miss."--Steve Donoghue, Open Letters Monthly "The Transformation of the World stands as both an essential compendium of knowledge about human civilization on planet Earth in the nineteenth century and a unique monument of historical art."--Matthew Karp, Journal of American History "[A] colossal achievement... The Transformation of the World stands as both an essential compendium of knowledge about human civilization on planet Earth in the nineteenth century and a unique monument of historical art."--Matthew Karp, Journal of American History "A tome that the scholar who exults in original thought will fall in love with. It is a fascinating expose... This is definitely a book for my shelves, reinforced though they will have to be."--Ian Lipke, MediaCulture.orgshow more
Back cover copy
"Jurgen Osterhammel is the Braudel of the nineteenth century. His global panorama is a triumph of the historian's craft. In elegant and lucid prose, he examines, across the entire world, the Janus face of the era: both distant past and yet also origin of our contemporary condition."--Jonathan Sperber, author of "Karl Marx: A Nineteenth-Century Life""The comparison with Braudel's magnum opus is not misplaced. Osterhammel's "The Transformation of the World" is a brilliant work of historical imagination, of absolutely show-stealing erudition, and of wide-apertured original insight! Reflecting on space and time, empire and slavery, war and peace, economy and diplomacy, monarchy and opera, and much else, Osterhammel changes our whole understanding of the nineteenth century."--Helmut W. Smith, Vanderbilt University"This big, kaleidoscopic book follows the many strands of change over the course of a long century of transformation. It belongs on a short list of key resources for understanding the origins of many of the challenges we face today."--John E. Wills, Jr., University of Southern California"Arguably the most important book by a German historian to be published in the past quarter century.

text: I bought at 18.74 on a flash market research alert (google them) and missed their sell alert for 19.78....I was freaking out because it was going down after that and I thought I was going to be stuck with a bunch of shares but I just got another alert yesterday and sold at 22.49 and made 37k....considering buying more shares if I start seeing more jumps like that. not sure if I should use what I made off it towards their next pick or just put it back in this, any thoughts on this? thanks

I placed an order for three items and I received an acknowledgement e-mail straight away. I was kept up to date with shipping information and the items were delivered promptly and securely, dispatching through DPD, who were equally efficient. The store offers an incredible diversity of products along with a subscription service for monthly American comics and I could end up spending a fortune! Fortunately, I am limited with space and money, though the offers which the store provides is very tempting. Highly recommended shopping experience.

So... who is actually ALIVE from season one still?
Here's my count -
Jack Bauer - as we know he's the man, has appeared in all 6 seaons of course.
Milo Pressman - appeared in season 1, and now in season 6 as a replacement to Edgar Stiles.
Aaron Pierce - has appeared in all 6 seasons now.
Kim Bauer - some web forums say that she will appear later in Day 6 but apparently the actress has indicated that she does not appear in this season.
Mike Novik - the actor has not confirmed if he will return in Day 6 but he could still appear, since in the past Mike was typically introduced several episodes into the season. Maybe Martha will contact him if Charles Logan dies?
no, HRG has been shot and wiped and kicked out. maybe a parkman/haitian team? and who was that girl at the end and wut is her power? and why did the preview show simone asking 'do you want to shoot me again?' i bet she has a power. and how is takei involved?
this episode created more questions than it answered.
I'd hope they don't assassinate Palmer. How could they play that off and get away with it? I bet it's going to be something more devious, like exposing him for cooperating is Assad in some way, or something like that. I think they've shown us too many people in the background pulling strings for it to be a simple bullet in the head deal with Palmer - there's something bigger going on.
But that's not what interests me the most. It's their motive. They have to want something more than simply to intern all the Muslims to prevent more terrorist attacks.

New Generation of 3000 °C Laboratory Furnaces
Batteries and accumulators have become increasingly important and have spread into new application fields by performance gains in recent years. Current and future battery technologies place high demands on materials used and their purity.
One current measure to improve battery performance is the reduction of crystal defects in high-purity graphite. For this purpose graphite is heat treated at high temperatures in the absence of oxygen. During this graphitization process, the more or less disordered structure is converted into an ordered hexagonal lattice structure. The degree of conversion increases with increasing temperature.
Nabertherm has countered this trend by revision of its 3000 °C laboratory furnace series. Improvements in insulation structure in combination with an increased heating power have resulted in faster heat up speeds and extended service life. The two available graphite heated cold wall retort furnaces (models SVHT ... / 30-GR) offer a useful space of 2 or 9 liters, making them suitable for both R & D as well as for the production of small quantities.
More information can be found in our catalog Laboratory.

Publisher's Description
Written not by a journalist or politician but rather by a theology professor with a Ph.D. in New Testament studies, Voting by the Bible: The Economic and Foreign Policy Issues begins with the assumption that God intended the Bible to give guidance to every area of lifeincluding how governments should function. Derived from author Wayne Grudems magisterial Politics According to the Bible, this book highlights those economic and foreign-policy issues that have dominated political debate recently. Throughout, author Wayne Grudem supports political positions that would be called more "conservative" than "liberal." However, "it is important to understand that I see these positions as flowing out of the Bible's teachings rather than positions I hold prior to, or independently of, those biblical teachings," he writes. "My primary purpose in the book is not to be liberally or conservative, or Democrat or Republican, but to explain a biblical worldview and a biblical perspective on issues of politics, law, and government." Concise yet carefully argued, this book is a must-read for any Christian concerned about current debates over the economy, the size and role of government, and the best way forward out of the current recession. Not every reader will agree with the book's conclusions. But by grounding his analysis deeply on Scripture, Grudem has equipped Christians to better understand and respond to some of today's key political debates wisely and in a manner consistent with their primary citizenship as members and ambassadors of the kingdom of God.
Author Bio
Wayne Grudem is research professor of Theology and Biblical Studies at Phoenix Seminary in Phoenix, Arizona. He holds degrees from Harvard (AB), Westminster Theological Seminary (MDiv, DD), and Cambridge (PhD). He is the author of more than a dozen books including the bestselling Systematic Theology.

PSA: Old QuakeCon forum details compromised
The latest games-related hacking attempt saw the compromise of a retired QuakeCon forum. Past users should consider re-securing any related log-ins.
The QuakeCon website broke the bad news that forums.quakecon.org had suffered an attack "in recent days", "compromising usernames and passwords".
"We recommend anyone using their old credentials on another site to change their passwords immediately," it advised.
If you had an account on the old Quakecon forums, have a think about whether you used that password anywhere else and take steps to ensure your other log-ins are safe.
QuakeCon is id Software's annual fan event, and this year runs from August 7 to 11 in Dallas, Texas.

Good 3.4 /5 from 35 reviews
Stayed in Sitges on my own after discovering it with some friends. Was an "add on" vacation so I needed to stay for a good price. This hotel was in the perfect location - right on the beach- and couldn't beat the price. Don't expect a great filling breakfast or premium bath amenities. Had good AC and bed was comfy.
This is a traditional Spanish hotel located right in the heart of all the action. You couldn't ask for a better location, right next to the beach and where all the convenient restaurants are. My room was clean, small, yet comfortable. I was hardly in it so I didn't ask for much. At night, the front desk is very strict with security. I appreciated it, it made the hotel feel very safe. I would stay here again the next time I'm in Sitges.
Great location on the beach. Room was a little musty. Overall not bad at all. Very friendly staff. Nice cafe in the lobby to buy breakfast. Would stay here again. Location can't be beat!
room was small, was some "wet clothes" smell, like an old basement. otherwise very good, staff was very mice and helpful, location is superb. breakfast is tasty, internet is working
Small hotel prime line and convenient for many restaurants. Room rate is high relative to general condition of the hotel. Staff very friendly and helpful. Situation is good...nothing bad to say about this hotel apart from could do with a little TLC

Spike bursting is an important physiological mode of the hippocampus. Whereas the rules of spike timing-dependent synaptic plasticity are well defined for pairs of single action potentials (APs) and excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs), long-term modification of synaptic responses is much less understood for more complex pre- and postsynaptic spike patterns. We induced a burst stimulation (BS)-associated form of synaptic plasticity in rat CA1 hippocampal slices by repeatedly pairing three EPSPs with a burst of APs induced by postsynaptic current injection. In distinct groups of cells, this induction paradigm resulted in long-term potentiation (LTP), long-term depression (LTD) or no change in synaptic strength. LTP was N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor-dependent, whereas LTD could be blocked by a metabotropic glutamate receptor antagonist or inhibition of Ca2+ influx through voltage-activated Ca2+ channels. LTP was predicted by a more depolarized membrane potential and a higher initial AP frequency. LTD was facilitated by a larger time interval between the last EPSP and its preceding AP. We conclude from these findings that associative BS induces a bidirectional form of long-term synaptic plasticity that cannot be fully explained by spike timing rules. Postsynaptic membrane potential and Ca2+ influx further influence the sign and magnitude of synaptic modification. LTP and LTD have distinct mechanisms and can be selectively modulated. This supports the concept of two independent coincidence detectors for LTP and LTD, and extends the physiological options to modulate synaptic plasticity and maintain a putative balance between potentiation and depression in synaptic networks.

Indiana Pacers Rumors
Nate Taylor: By releasing Shayne Whittington, the #Pacers have 15 players on their roster, which is the NBA's limit.
George is the last survivor from the roster that reached consecutive Eastern Conference finals a few years ago. With new teammates and a new playing style, George acknowledged Thursday that he has to be the leader for the Pacers to succeed and contend next season. "I think I'm still young," George said before his practice with the U.S. men's Olympic team. "I can carry a team, I feel."
"I'm glad he's not letting me waste years," he said of Bird. "I think Larry and (the rest of the front office) have expressed how bad they want to get back to (the Eastern Conference finals) by these moves this offseason. I'm looking forward to getting us back there. He's putting talent around me to help me get to what we all want to get accomplish, and that's a championship."
The National Basketball Association (NBA) and Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG) announced today that NBA Global Games London 2017 will feature the Denver Nuggets and Indiana Pacers travelling to London for a regular-season game at The O2 on Jan. 12, 2017. The announcement was made via Facebook Live from the NBA's European headquarters in London with Nuggets guard Gary Harris in attendance. The team logos were revealed in a specially commissioned piece of street art in Stockwell, London.

It was a quiet unrewarding morning like it has been lately, it was raining inconclusively for 15 days. The rain carried humidity as its accomplice and the combo triggered a series of health issues in numerous toddlers in our colony. It became almost impossible for me to stop counting the number of persons who weren't sneezing or having a dead look on their face. I used to jot down the number on my make-shift chalk board haphazardly everyday, any person in his right mind can observe and deduce the reason for decrease in the numbers as the season passed. I thought only I could make a difference by letting them know the invariability in life even after the modern medicine's advent.
There was a parable circulating among the kids of the colony that one's who didn't catch cold or any of its grimy cousins will be killed by the end of the season. It was uncommon and unexpected of people to not catch this previously oblivious rule, as an outstanding kid in the family and the eldest among the 3 of us, I knew that this was just another "Pink eyes" slugfest. There used to be a rumour among kids that if you don't have pink eyes, you would eventually be killed by the one's having them and they'll replace you as a kid of your parents. Owing to this rumour, kids started coating their eyes with their mothers' lipsticks during nights and took a beating to sleep the whole night. I got to know about this prejudice from my brother while he was crying that night trying to mute his pain but unable to. He is a lively kid who used to be illustriously participative in the unreasonable and often unsafe acts of vandalism in the neighbourhood, he used to bring home his stories of bravery adamantly. His was a role of a quality checking staff of the neighbourhood; any insensate rumour should pass his test of self-check before being heard by other fellas.
The rains started declining ultimately and he was dejected that he was unhurt by this demon, he just wanted to live for until he becomes an adult, so he did the only thing that will accomplish his yearning: drown in tap water for two hours inexorably. He let water pass through his tiny ears, nose and all over his face, I noticed his act only when he was literally bulged like a sponge napkin. The usual rantings of my mom reverberated even more making our neighbours uncomfortable, but their mutual understanding rule works always; scream all you can but pass in front of their door as if nothing ever happened, they don't talk about it and you don't talk about it. By the time the street lights were ignited, he caught cold and mild temperature; as the outside temperatures dipped, his body warmth surged. Mom gave him few generic medicines of which she has a bag of, and let him sleep beside her for the night. I took the night off from my usual stargazing as clouds haven't really dozed off.
A loud thump on the floors and a knocking on the door has woken me up, it was not alarming but it aroused concern in me. I drifted from my bed to the bathroom to wish good morning to my best friend 'Vishnu' who lives in the closet of the bathroom and engages me in never ending conversations so that I won't feel bored every time I go there. While I was discussing the fate of my two-month old toothbrush with Vish, I heard people crying and running around my house. Now, I thought, is the time to interrupt and bring order to this mismanaged house. But the authoritative being in me died the moment I entered the hall, my brother was lying bare; his chest pale in colour, eyes turning limpid, hands unresponsive, neck hanging and heart inanimate. Poof, he was gone. An incredulous second while passing has galvanised a fear of loss in me. An air of confusion prevailed about his death until a doctor established the same.
People started gathering around the house and relatives inside the house. Everyone was busy with their own responsibilities of organising the cremation and taking care of mother and sister. They might've thought I will man myself up and will live through it without shedding a tear, but they were faulted in their thinking. What can I do without my brother, who will play hide and seek with me, who will accompany me in teasing my sister, can there be a possible replacement to his unwarranted attention towards his nonchalant brother ? Possibly no.

Q: Three years ago my partner had 2 discs removed from his spine and has been in severe pain in his back and legs ever since. Would acupuncture help him ?
A: A great deal depends on the extent of the physical changes which have occurred in the operation and whether the vertebrae have been fused. If the physical structure is now such that the spinous processes constantly impinge nerves then the chances are that the best one could hope for is to turn down the volume a little.
This is certainly an aspect of acupuncture practice which has been thoroughly researched since Nixon's visit to China in the 1970s. The sight of people having operations without anaesthetic meant that there was an upsurge of research into acupuncture for pain relief, and quite an impressive amount of research into the effects of acupuncture on the release of endorphins and enkephalins, the body's natural painkillers. Of course, the issue with this kind of treatment is that like all painkillers they wear off, and the rather unfortunate equation is between cost and effectiveness. If treatment can reduce pain for a significant time then the cost of doing this on a regular basis becomes the main issue.
This kind of use of acupuncture is not really traditional acupuncture, though, and we would have perhaps one or two ways of considering what is happening based on our view that the body is a system of energy in movement and that pain arises where the energy (called 'qi' in Chinese medicine) does not flow as it should. This can mean in some cases that post-operative pain can have as much to do with the blockage in the flow of qi caused by the surgery as the problem which the surgery was intended to correct. Even scar tissue can act as a block.
However, we would not want this to be read in a way that gives unrealistic expectations. Some people do respond well to post-operative treatment, but again, a great deal depends on the state of the whole system. If a chronic problem sits atop a history of other chronic health problems then the potential for recovery may be less. The strength of Chinese medicine, though, is that it looks at the person as a whole, and tries to make sense of why this person has these particular problems.
This is why we most frequently advise people to visit a BAcC member local to them for advice on what may be possible given their own unique balance. There may be aspects of the presentation which will inform a practitioner about the likelihood of successful treatment, and most members are happy to give up a little time without charge to make this assessment. Our postcode search facility on the home page will show you the practitioners working closest to where you live or work.
Q: Please can you suggest the best type of acupuncture for vestibular migraine? I have no headache but daily vertigo/dizziness symptoms.
A: Acupuncture has a surprisingly good record with treating the different varieties of vertigo/dizziness/Menieres kinds of problems, as our factsheet on vertigo shows:
The evidence is not quite robust enough for us to be able to make claims for success, but this is more a reflection of the type of evidence sought, by which acupuncture treatment is not, in our view, appropriately tested. We treat many people with these types of problem, and we have to presume that the fact we keep getting referrals indicates that we must be doing some good.
We think we are probably helped by the fact that there are some clearly defined functional elements as defined within Chinese medicine which are responsible for the sense of balance in the body, and this makes tracking the pathways of imbalances a great deal easier. This means that there are some short term treatments which one can apply in a slightly less holistic way to bring things under control while spending time on the underlying patterns of imbalance from which the balance problems usually emerge as a secondary phenomenon. You have probably read that twenty people presenting with the same symptom might be treated in twenty different ways because each has a unique balance which needs to be adjusted. This holds true, but doesn't preclude direct help to one of the secondary manifestations if we need to help someone as best we can.
You ask about types of acupuncture, and we have to be honest and say that within traditional acupuncture any of the systems will be equally effective in addressing your problems. Seen from the perspective of balancing the system as a whole, there have been dozens of variations on the basic themes in the 2500 year history of the tradition, and all are equally valid ways of elaborating the core concepts. We would be less optimistic about modern traditions, as you could imagine from what we have already said. Treating the symptom as the source of the problem will obviously work in cases where there is nothing else out of kilter, but our experience is that there usually is, and just using formula treatments for problems often leads to short term gain followed by a return to the status quo.
We have checked our database by using the online search facility and have found a number of people working very close to where you live. The postcode facility is even more precise, so we have no doubt that you will be able to find a well trained and qualified practitioner near to where you live. Most offer a facility of dropping in for a chat before committing to treatment, and this might be a good route to pursue, giving you a chance to meet them and see where they work.
Q: Three years ago my wife suffered a severe cranial infarction which has left her totally incapacitated on her right side permanently bed ridden and doubly incontinent. She is well cared for in a nursing home and is fortunately left handed. There is no prospect of any sort of recovery, but she is troubled by very severe pains which she agrees are of a cramp like nature in her right lower arm and elbow area. These come and go and leave her in agony for hours each day and seriously depressed. Is there any possibility that acupuncture techniques might reduce or remove these sudden bouts of pain?re sorry to hear of your wife's continuing problems.
A: We are always a little careful when we answer questions based on possibility. Everything is possible. Every treatment works for someone but this falls a long way short of some treatment working for everyone. We have produced a fairly hefty review paper
which details the many studies of post stroke/CVA treatment. In China acupuncture has a much more central place in the treatment of stroke/CVA, especially immediately after the event. Treatment often commences the day of the event itself, and the aim is to restore the proper flow of energy as soon as possible. It is also used quite frequently in this context as well, getting rid of a residual symptom which either does not leave after the stroke or emerges as a consequence of the change of use associated with the problem.
As you probably know from your researched so far traditional acupuncture is based on theories of energy, called qi, and its flow and balance in the body. Pain only arises where the flow is blocked or where it is seriously deficient or in excess, and the needles are used to restore balance. In order to get a really good idea of what may be possible for your wife's problem you will need someone to take a look and make a face to face assessment. At this remove all that we could say is that it is not untypical of the sorts of problems we have addressed, and sometimes very effectively, but we are reluctant to say 'go ahead' because there may be aspects of your wife's condition which a practitioner would see immediately were likely to cause difficulties beyond the scope of acupuncture.
Hopefully your wife's nursing home is near enough to a BAcC member that they could easily pop in and give you a better sense of what is possible. Home visits are not the most popular option for some members because many are reluctant to charge for the additional time it takes to arrive and set up, but there are still enough who do to encourage us that this is a reasonable possibility.
A: As far as we can tell these refer to a Certificate in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine awarded by the City College of Acupuncture and that the practitioner is registered with the British Register of Complementary Practitioners. This is a register which operates as far as we know under the aegis of the the Institute of Complementary and Natural Medicine.
We are not sure whether the TCM for Traditional Chinese Medicine is a qualifier of the certificate or the section of the BRCP register in which the practitioner is recorded.
Q: I had acupuncture about 5 days ago with a different practitioner. Almost straight after the session I got a pain in my right side of my stomach which has not subsided. Could this have been an affect of the treatment?
A: We are sorry to hear of your experience.
Without knowing exactly where you were needled and for what we are a little limited in what we can say. If the pain is at a needle site it suggests that there may be a little internal bruising which is not visible on the surface but enough to put pressure on nerves and cause some discomfort. Physical damage after acupuncture treatment is quite rare, and usually transient, so it is quite possible that by the time you get this response after the Easter break your discomfort will have subsided. If it hasn't, and it does relate to where you were needled you might need to contact the practitioner to ask for their advice and possible explanation, and also arrange to see your GP just to be sure that there is nothing untoward going on. It is highly unlikely but it is often better to take this step early to avoid unnecessary worry.
There is also a slight chance that the pain is an energetic consequence of the treatment. It is also quite unusual to experience this, but there are occasions when helping the system to function better reveals blockages which a weaker balance was able to cope with. It is also possible that the treatment was badly chosen, although our experience of choosing the wrong treatment is that the system reverts within 48 hours to where it started. Longer lasting disruption is extremely rare.
The best person to ask is the practitioner himself or herself. They will know exactly where they needled you, and will be as concerned as you to understand what has happened and do what they can to correct it or refer you on for further investigation. We rather hope, though, that it is a transient adverse event, and by the time you received this reply after the break it has subsided or gone.

DPS: Don't stop on freeways to view fireworks
PHOENIX — Fireworks are scheduled to fly high over Phoenix this weekend but drivers should not pull to the side of freeways to watch, the Arizona Department of Public Safety said.
"People risk injury and death by stopping just to look at fireworks," said DPS Officer Carrick Cook.
It is illegal to stop or block traffic on the state's highways.
"Even if you pull off on the side of the freeway on the emergency shoulder, you are violating the law unless it's an emergency," Cook said. "That's why it's called an emergency shoulder."
Drivers who pull off to the side to watch fireworks can be charged both civilly and criminally.
Cook said DPS will have patrols looking for drivers watching fireworks. Enforcement will be particularly heavy along the Loop 202, near Tempe's fireworks show.
KTAR's Martha Maurer contributed to this report.

Shaker Pumpkin Muffins
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 20 mins
The Shakers were a hard-working simple group of people who were notorious for their "Hands to work Hearts to God" school of thought. Their recipes were like themselves - easy, simple, and plain. Their recipes were easy and all their dishes were produced from the products of their farm and were always fresh or preserved naturally. These pumpkin muffins are easy and deeelish.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3⁄4 cup brown sugar
- 1⁄4 cup molasses
- 1⁄2 cup soft butter
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1⁄4 cup pecans
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1 3⁄4 cups all-purpose flour (if using self-rising, omit soda and salt)
- Cream sugar, molasses, and butter in a mixing bowl; add pumpkin and egg and mix well.
- Mix the dry ingredients into the pumpkin batter and fold in nuts.
- Grease muffin tins (or use paper cups) and fill half full.
- Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes.

YUM!!! We loved these muffins. Perfectly sweet but not cloying. My best description of the flavor is a cross between gingersnap cookies and pumpkin pie. Since these are two of my all-time favorite things, I loved the way these muffins came out. Definitely a keeper. Made for ZWT3.
Good muffins! DH thought the flavor of the molasses overpowered the flavor of the pumpkin, but they were still good. They are not too sweet so if you wanted to make them more cakelike, you could top them with cream cheese frosting. Not very healthy that way, but still good.
