Systemic infections due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa appear to be a problem in patients who have had open heart surgery, extensive burns, severe pyelonephritis, and previous intensive chemotherapy.1-5 It is for this reason that the following cases which responded to vigorous therapy with a combination of agents given by the intravenous route are being presented. If the presumptive diagnosis of acute bacterial endocarditis in one of the patients is correct, it is only the third of the reported cases due to this organism to have survived.1,6-8 Similarly, the case of necrotizing papillitis due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa may be the first to have survived this disease.4
Therapy in each case was based on 2 findings previously reported from this laboratory and by others. The first was potentiation between polymyxin B and oxytetracycline against Ps. aeruginosa, and the second was the potentiation of antibiotics by the addition of relatively large

Seems like a bargain - lot of uncertainty in this industry, but pretty solid fundamentals. Real estate has real value - not hot air like internet companies. At $4 seems like little downside risk.
Looks like CSU had to write off costs for a jointventure which didn't go through, which would pretty muchcancel out a years earnings.But there is a lotof equity capital in this organization. The nursinghome industry is pretty beaten down, so even thoughCSU has shown great ability to make money andgenerally it serves an upscale niche, it probably sufferssome in guilt by association with companies that haveto dicker with medicare and wait for cobwebs to growon invoices before insurance companies pay.

I really love this theme BUT so many settings are completely ignored! How exactly do I change the order of the pages in the slide show? I only need four pages showcased, and trying to order them is impossible!
I DON'T want page access from the slider - I select the option to disable, but it makes no difference.
For magazine style post shortcuts from the home page I write excerpts, yet it displays whatever the hell it likes, regardless.
If certain settings are only available in the paid upgrade PLEASE MAKE THIS CLEAR! I'm tired of wasting time of settings which are ignored!

OK so this may be a bit lengethy but here is what I have been facing.
in multi site i have:
currently site1 was the primary site and what happened was the DNS was changed because now :site1 is on it's own instance on a different server.
once we did that unfortunately we could not reach that site anymore so I was forced to go into the wp-config and make :site2 the primary site.
the issue is that I can now see the site but every time I try to access anything within the site it populates a /de. I tried taking it out from the wp-config and the database and unfortunately it breaks the DB connection.
The other issue is that I can't log into the site.
I need some serious help on this guys. I have been up nearly 24hours doing this and I am about to tell my employer that I quit....
if this is not enough detail let me know I am a bit tired and am hoping this makes sense to someone....

The Practitioner's Guide to Psychoactive Drugs, second edition, provides far more for the reader than the title suggests, and was a delight to read. In 12 sections it offers an enormous amount of valuable current information on some of the most frequently prescribed medications.
A chapter on legal issues in prescribing psychoactive drugs not only informs the prescribing physician of the potential pitfalls, but is appropriate and timely in this era of increasing litigation.
There are several features that I found to be particularly valuable and that enabled the reader to focus in on some of the more salient points in the text. These included highlighting sentences and paragraphs in darker print, which was eye catching. Another innovation was blocking out sections in shades of gray with clearly defined margins, permitting the reader a quick summary of the material under discussion. The authors make excellent use of charts and tables,

The Third Wave: A Volunteer Storyby Alison Thompson, MeiMei Fox
View All Available Formats & Editions
Alison Thompson, a filmmaker living in New York City, was enjoying Christmas with her boyfriend in 2004 when she saw the news reports online: a 9.3 magnitude earthquake had struck the sea near Indonesia, triggering a massive tsunami that hit much of southern Asia. As she watched the death toll climb, Thompson had one thought: She had to go help. A few years earlier, she had spent eight months volunteering at Ground Zero after 9/11. She'd learned then that when disaster strikes, it's not just the firemen and Red Cross who are needed—every single person can make a difference.
With $300 in cash, some basic medical supplies, and a vague idea that she'd go wherever she was needed, Thompson headed to Sri Lanka. Along with a small team of volunteers, she settled in a coastal town that had been hit especially hard and began tending to people's injuries, giving out food and water, playing games with the children, collecting dead bodies, and helping rebuild the local school and homes that had been destroyed. Thompson had intended to stay for two weeks; she ended up staying for fourteen months. She and her team helped start new businesses and set up the first tsunami early-warning center in Sri Lanka, which continues to save lives today.
The Third Wave tells the inspiring story of how volunteering changed Thompson's life. It begins with her first real introduction to disaster relief after 9/11 and ends with her more recent efforts in Haiti, where she has helped create and run, with Sean Penn, an internally-displaced-person camp and field hospital for more than 65,000 Haitians who lost their homes in the 2010 earthquake. In The Third Wave, Thompson provides an invaluable inside glimpse into what really happens on the ground after a disaster—and a road map for what anyone can do to help. As Alison Thompson shows, with some resilience, a healthy sense of humor, and the desire to make a difference, we all have what it takes to change the world for the better.
From the Hardcover edition.
Editorial Reviews
"In a world of turmoil, The Third Wave is a welcome and inspiring account of what one woman and her friends can accomplish against the greatest odds. Ride this wave and feel better about the generation ready to lead us all ashore."—Tom Brokaw
"Alison Thompson's captivating life story and adventures in volunteering make us all want to be better citizens of our planet. We can all contribute, she fearlessly tells us, not just with her soaring words with even more with her inspiring actions."—Edwidge Danticat, author of Brother, I'm Dying
"Alison Thompson is an inspiration. Whereas most people check out after a crisis, Thompson remains there on the ground, loving, caring, and communicating the need for awareness and help. Her creativity and healing are incomparable in a crisis and deliver the messages that are needed around the world. This book is a must-read and a call to action."—Donna Karan
"Alison Thompson's fine book The Third Wave teaches and emphasizes the value of effective, appropriate volunteerism, even when severe negative circumstances limit the number of fellow human beings who can be helped."—Tony Duke, founder of Boys & Girls Harbor
"Readers will marvel at Thompson's ability to leave her life midstream to help others, clearly relishing the adventure as much as the opportunity to serve. She urges readers to redefine heroism by doing whatever they can with examples of small efforts with great impact."—Publishers Weekly
Uplifting chronicle of the author's personal involvement in disaster-relief efforts after 9/11, the Asian tsunami of 2004 and the Haitian earthquake of 2010.
When Thompson heard about the tsunami, she knew she had to go there to help. With $300 and some gear, she was on the ground in Sri Lanka by January 5th, ready to start work. Her impressive accomplishments form the heart of the narrative. Prefigured by her months in the dust, dirt and rubble of Ground Zero after 9/11, Thompson's 14 months in Sri Lanka were alternately painful and gut-wrenching. There was nothing left in Peraliya when they arrived. Approximately 2,500 had died, and more than 500 homes had been destroyed. The villagers needed clean water, food, shelter and medical aid. All the water wells had been contaminated by the sea. On their first day, the volunteers' truck became an emergency first-aid station. In the first 10 hours, they treated 150 people. By the time they took a break, after six months, a permanent medical facility was under construction, 75,000 people had been treated, school facilities had been set up and shelter had been provided. The author and her fellow volunteer friends had been joined by Germans, Dutch, British, Danes and dozens of others from around the world, each with something special to offer. They fought the heartache of funds that didn't come through and the suffering of those who saved their loved ones from the violence of the sea, only to lose them later due to the inadequacy of follow-up medical care. Thompson writes that at Ground Zero, she overcame her fear of death. In Peraliya, she overcame her fear of evil.
An inspiring story demonstrating that there are always ways to help. For fellow volunteers, the author includes a helpful section called "What to Know Before You Go."

Thompson: THE THIRD WAVE
Chapter 1
My Rollerblades squeaked as I sprinted through yet another set of red lights. I had come five miles but still had two more to go. Over my back hung a bag containing a hefty first aid kit, my old 8mm camera, and a small bottle of Chanel No. 5.
I quickly glanced at the sidewalks filled with people gathered around radios and television sets dragged outside from corner stores, and I picked up speed. As I got closer to my destination, I had to battle my way through crowds of people streaming in the opposite direction. Although they walked in an orderly, quiet fashion, their hair and clothes were covered in white soot, and they held on to one another like invalids. They looked like the victims of the nuclear explosion in Hiroshima, whose black-and-white photos I'd seen in books. There was no color anywhere. People all seemed to be holding cellphones to their ears but none of them were speaking. They were in shock. I turned onto the cobblestone streets, which were less crowded though more difficult to navigate on skates, and continued to make my way to the World Trade Center. Soon, I found myself alone in a blizzard of ash and smoke that burned my eyes and throat.
Inside the cloud, I found a Latino man in his late forties dressed in an expensive blue business suit, lying unconscious on the ground. I loosened his Gucci tie and tilted his chin back to start giving him CPR, all the while calling out into the fog for help. What felt like hours later but was probably only minutes, two EMS workers ran over and carried him away.
Deeper into the smoke, I saw an arm elegantly pointing out of the rubble toward me. I began ripping at the chunks of cement, reaching in to yank the person free. When I pulled on it, only the arm came with me—there wasn't a body attached. I screamed in horror and threw it on the ground. When I looked down at it, I saw a ring with small sapphires and diamonds on the delicate wedding finger.
Still wobbling on my skates, I looked at my worst nightmare. A million pieces of paper danced around in the air currents like oversized confetti. I caught one and read someone's private bank statement, then tucked it in my backpack. The air smelled of burned plastic. There was almost no sound except for tiny beeping noises coming from underneath the rubble at regular intervals and an occasional thud on the ground. I later found out that the thuds were the sounds of people who had jumped from the skyscraper crashing to earth, and the beeps were the sounds of the alarms embedded in the uniforms of the recently buried firemen. My heart was beating louder than rain, yet I felt compelled to push farther into the darkness.
It was 10:27 a.m. on September 11, 2001, and something even bigger was about to happen.
I felt the ground moving beneath me and looked up to see the World Trade Center's nearby north tower tumbling toward me like a stack of cards. I sprinted away, frantically attempting to outskate the avalanche that was trying to eat me alive, but then gave up and dove under a parked UPS truck.
Twenty bucket-loads of prayers later, I crawled out into the now even denser fog of sooty darkness. I saw pieces of bodies scattered about like roadkill and collected them into a pile. I counted five legs, three arms, two torsos, and half a head. All the other stuff was unrecognizable. Inside a computer monitor I saw someone's charred skull.
I found some trash bags in a destroyed shop nearby. Even though I had worked for eight years as a nurse's aide in my mother's hospital when I was a teenager and in my early twenties, I had always been squeamish at the sight of blood. I felt queasy as I stuffed the torn flesh into the bags. My thoughts froze and my nose wrinkled up as I readied myself to perform the task at hand.
Then I remembered what I'd placed in my bag at the last minute, and took out my precious bottle of Chanel No. 5 perfume. I dabbed a little bit under my nose to mask the smell of burned bodies, and it worked. I continued shuffling around like an astronaut on my first moon landing, looking for more signs of life.
Staring into the raging fires in the surrounding buildings, I thought about my friend Jonathon Connors, who worked on the 104th floor of the World Trade Center at Cantor Fitzgerald. I prayed he had gotten out. He was a good friend who worked hard to provide for his children and his wife, who had been living with a life-threatening disease. He had always secretly wanted to be an actor, so he had invested in my first film, and to thank him I'd chosen him as an extra in one of the scenes. He had been very supportive of my career and always visited me on set.
With Jonathon in mind, I pulled my old 8mm camera out of my backpack and started shooting quick, shaky images. The clicking noise of the worn film canister disturbed me. I suddenly felt guilty taking images, so I threw the camera back into my pack. I felt that if someone saw me capturing pictures of this horrific event, they would think it was a shameful thing to do. I suppressed my filmmaker instincts and didn't shoot anymore the entire time I was on-site at Ground Zero.
When I ran across survivors, they walked past me with blank stares on their faces like zombies in a silent horror movie. Occasionally I stumbled upon other ordinary folks doing what I was doing—trying desperately to find people still alive among the wreckage and ripping down the wood pylons that were mounted on surrounding buildings to create makeshift stretchers for the injured.
An hour later, policemen started screaming for everyone to move away from the World Trade Center area. Reluctantly, I obeyed their commands, but I knew I wasn't done yet.
It became too difficult to navigate on skates, but in my mad rush to get to the disaster area as quickly as possible, I had forgotten to pack shoes. So I left my Rollerblades beside the Stuyvesant School wall just off the West Side Highway and quickly walked in my socks to a nearby pet store. In a Schwarzenegger-movie moment of grandiosity, I announced in my most assertive voice, "I am a nurse and I have no shoes. I need to go in and help people, so I need your shoes now!" The stunned Asian man at the checkout counter balked at first, throwing me a suspicious look. He then revealed his feet, probably hoping I'd pass on the thin, open-toed flaps of plastic he wore. But they were good enough for me. I took his business card, confiscated his flip-flops, and told him I'd be back.
The officials had us gather at the City Hall Park, located a few blocks northeast of Ground Zero. Shocked civilians continued to wander the streets with vacant expressions on their faces, but a gang of eager volunteers like me fought for information about how we could help. A tough guy on a bullhorn took control, asking if anyone had any medical or Army experience. I raised my hand. I didn't know what we'd be doing, but I knew I could help somehow. He and a few other construction worker–type men sorted us into groups. I joined the medical group.
A few hours later, we loaded into a New York City public bus now manned by a policeman and headed back over to the West Side Highway. Those five long blocks resembled a ghost town. It was surreal to think how busy the streets would have been just hours before. The scenery passed by in slow motion, as though time itself were snoozing. I watched five Hasidic men running toward Ground Zero with boxes of bottled water on their heads. I looked up and saw a shirtless man sitting on his window ledge, smoking a cigarette and surveying his demolished neighborhood.
The West Side Highway was full of firefighters and ambulances. As we drove closer to the World Trade Center area, I saw that the fallen towers had completely buried the highway. Everything was covered in white dust, like winter's first snowfall.
We exited the buses and regrouped in a nearby building. The local hospitals had already donated large boxes of medical supplies, so we packed our backpacks and grabbed as many bags of saline as we could carry.
I saw a large man standing near a swarm of firefighters about one block north of Ground Zero. He introduced himself to me as Michael Voudoras. He was a volunteer EMT who had ropes and a huge medical kit slung over his sturdy back and a wild, confident look in his eyes. I knew at once that we were going to get along.
At 5:30 p.m., World Trade Center Tower Seven collapsed. I had been watching it burn since the morning and was just one block away when I found myself running for cover for the second time that day. By then, the fires were burning freely and the crazy air was filled with wind and ash.
After that, the officials cleared us out once more and announced that nobody would be allowed back into the Ground Zero area, since they thought many more buildings would collapse. They moved us back out and blocked off road access. All the rescue workers were frustrated, and Michael and I started getting antsy just standing around feeling helpless. A cranky nurse in scrubs declared that she was going into Ground Zero anyway, and marched off down the street, only to be stopped by storm troopers.
It was starting to get dark when a slick black car with four men inside pulled up to our area. It looked like a scene out of the movie Men in Black. A mysterious suit-clad arm emerged from behind the tinted windows and placed a loudspeaker on the car's roof. Earlier, someone had placed a spotlight on the ground to light up the area after nightfall, and it shone through the car, making the shadowy figures inside look even more impressive. A radio broadcast began. It was President George W. Bush telling us that we were now at war. The crowd was spellbound. Hundreds of rescue workers surrounded the car, hanging on every word. Then, just as quickly as it had appeared, the car quietly vanished. A buzz of excitement hissed through the crowd. I felt a surge of pride: We were now soldiers, fighting on American soil.
At this stage, only a small group of exhausted firemen were being allowed back into Ground Zero. But who was going to take care of the firefighters, I wondered? Michael and I gave each other a cheeky look and then hid behind a group of firemen, using them as cover to sneak back into the danger zone. We knew that many firemen were still getting hurt, and we were determined to help them. We were also eager to look around for anyone who had been buried alive.
As we stepped into the ash and flames, I silently recited the same prayer that I had prayed all day: If it was my time to die, then I was ready. Up until then I had had an amazing, fulfilling life, for which I was grateful. In welcoming and accepting the thought of my death, I felt no fear at all.
Michael and I walked around for hours with our first aid kits and saline bags, treating firemen with burned, sooty eyes and small open wounds. We climbed over remnants of smashed jewelry stores and unmanned banks, desperately looking for someone trapped but still breathing. It was a pitch-black night: The soot lay like a blanket across the sky and the power had gone out. We felt like the only people left on earth.
In the late evening hours, we came upon the American Express building, which had been converted into a small disaster-response staging area and morgue. The ground was soaked in mud and water, which oozed over my flip-flops, through my socks, and around my toes as I stumbled to help a fireman. His eyes were bloodshot and full of soot; he looked like the walking dead. He had been working in the Marriott hotel and was the last one to run out before the south tower had come crashing down on top of it. All of his friends were dead. He sat on the ground in despair, a broken man. I whispered words of comfort and stroked his hair as I cleaned his eyes.
The wind created ashy tornadoes that danced around us as we tried to wash the soot out, making our task even more challenging. On top of that, I realized that although my eyes were fully open I couldn't see anything—my eyes were filled with dirt, too. So Michael and I sat face-to-face on a pile of rubble to blindly clean the muck from each other's eyes.
"Darling," I said, "you take me to all the best places."
"Only the best for you, my dear," Michael replied.
As soon as our eyes were fresh, we ventured back into the action.

This book would have made a wonderful story- were it not for the self-righteous attitude of the author. Instead of focusing on the actual events at hand, Thompson focuses on how her actions were the ONLY hope these people had. Several details seem out of place; she packs her Chanel No. 5 among her supplies to the Sri Lanka disaster zone, and she is 'forced' to hide her tears behind her Gucci sunglasses. Honestly, details like those makes one wonder if she was really focused on helping the victims, or on the image she wanted to portray of herself. The Third Wave had a lot of potential as a non-fiction story, but it ended up being more like an autobiography than a tale of disaster and survival. It did have educational parts, but those were few and far between. The writing style itself is erratic and somewhat elementary- many metaphors found in the novel are reminiscent of those used in primary school. In the end, it was a disappointing read. To someone who was expecting great things from the novel, it made the time spent reading the book seem wasted.

The Spring Season is a series of posts featuring my favorite soft beige, coral, and pink lipsticks and lipglosses — all perfect for the first blossom of spring — that runs through March 2010.
Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Liquid Eyeshadow
Bronze Goddess was definitely one of the first summer-esque collections to release (with Guerlain's Terracotta right on its heels!). Each year, Estee Lauder launches Bronze Goddess and while there are certainly near-staple products released (bronzers and the like), they also create a makeup collection around the theme.
This year includes Exotic Bronzing Blush ($35, reviewing later!), Wild Orchid Pure Color Nail Lacquer ($18), Wild Coral / Wild Orchid Exotic Lip Gloss ($18), Luminous Liquid Bronzer ($28.50), and Liquid Eyeshadow ($17.50). Of course, all of those products listed above are, the ever-dreaded, limited edition. I am/was most excited for the Liquid Eyeshadows, because I was very curious to see Estee Lauder do some COLOR!
The good: Estee Lauder described the new Liquid Eyeshadow as a "[f]eatherweight liquid shadow [that] delivers maximum metallic impact in one stroke." Count me among the skeptical when it comes to Estee Lauder and vibrant pops of color–but I am always happy to be wrong on this kind of thing! These are surprisingly true-to-color and quite pigmented.
They can be layered for complete opaque intensity or sheered out by blending with either your finger or a brush (try something fluffy with synthetic bristles) for more of a wash (Sand Shimmer works particularly well for a quick one-color-and-you're-done kind of look). One stroke is pigmented, but to blend it out and cover the lid, you may find that layering works better to obtain truly opaque color–I personally like that you can sheer it out as it makes it a more versatile product, particularly when using it as an eyeshadow base.
The Spring Season: Chanel Mythic Lipstick
Chanel Mythic Rouge Allure Lipstick ($30.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a soft nude-beige with subtle champagne shimmer and a rather glossy sheen. I love that it looks like a sheer, lightweight nude, but it's actually nearly opaque on my lips. I do think those with more pigmented lips may find their natural lip color adds a bit of rosiness to the overall look, though. Rouge Allure Lipsticks carry a very, very low-level scent of roses–I almost wasn't sure if there was a scent, but since I did go, "Roses?" initially, I'm going to stick with that. Rouge Allures feel incredibly light on lips, less like the average lipstick, and they're creamy enough to glide on evenly but not so creamy that they slip-slide all over the place.

Dolce & Gabbana Midnight Bloom: Delicate, Emotion Shine Lipsticks & Delicious Lipgloss
To finish off our Dolce & Gabbana summer preview of the Midnight Bloom Collection, today we'll look at two new shades of Shine Lipstick (Delicate and Emotion) and one new shade of Lipgloss (Delicious). Shine Lipsticks retail for $30, while Lipglosses retail for $29. Dolce & Gabbana (the makeup!) is only available at Saks.
I tried Gold Shine Lipstick last December, and even though the color was totally fun and funky (and definitely not similar to anything I already owned, which is kind of a big deal for me!), it didn't sell me on the Shine formula like these do. Gold showed me lots of shimmer–borderline glitter–but these are softer, smoother. They wear well (four to six hours on me) without drying out lips. Both shades applied evenly and gave nearly opaque color (you can always tell by my lip "freckle"), even though "shine" makes me think sheerer coverage.
If you're sensitive to scent, you may not like the rosy scent that accompanies Dolce & Gabbana's lipsticks, though. Packaging is in line with the rest of Dolce & Gabbana: gold metal that looks and feels luxe (nice weight to the lipsticks) but still holds fingerprints. (Seriously, isn't it about time sometime invented fingerprint-proof metal for cosmetics?)
Dolce & Gabbana's Lipgloss is slightly tacky, though I wouldn't describe it as sticky–just not non-sticky entirely. I typically get about three hours of wear with the gloss alone, which is about average to a little above average for a gloss on me. Like the Shine Lipsticks, it is rose-scented, so sensitive-sniffers beware! Packaging is a clear base with a "gold" metal cap, and of course, pricing is that of a high-end, more luxe brand (think Chanel, Guerlain, etc.).

this might be a simple question but I just can't get my hands around it.
I have a WP_query listing of custom post type in wordpress, and I need to have an appropriate taxonomies (categories) displayed for each one of those items in the list.
I tried googling and searching through stackoverflow but came up short.
Also, this is what I'm using for displaying all the taxonomy slugs that exist for a certain post type:
function get_taxonomy_classes($theID) {
$post_type = get_post_type($theID);
$taxonomies = get_object_taxonomies($post_type, 'objects');
$terms = get_terms($taxonomies, array(
'orderby' => 'name',
'order' => 'ASC',
'hide_empty' => TRUE
foreach($terms as $term) {
echo $term->slug . " ";
Still haven't found a way to use those terms with taxonomies above :(
Please help, thank you!

I want to update Worpdress from 2.7.1. to new WordPress 2.8 but I am afraid that get errors

I want to update Worpdress from 2.7.1. to new WordPress 2.8 but I am afraid that get errors
Is the same as hier?
So long as you take a backup like you did before, you can always go back if there are problems.
I had problems with 2.8 so I tried to go back to my back-up, but I can't get the page so show now. I can get to administration, however. What am I doing wrong?
i suggest too
do not upgrade now
yup, WP 2.8 is causing trouble. Now My site is only blank page, and so is my wp-login. How can i get to my admin page??
Thank you
2.8 == bad. The admin theme / css is gone! At least my site is still up.
I would not upgrade if I were you. The only reason I did so was to stop being nagged about it on my dashboard, and I completely regret doing so. Tons of problems that I can not figure out how to fix as of yet. I'm now facing a complete reinstall of my blog, which us novices are not overly comfortable doing.
so less than 1% of users with upgrade problems and folks should not upgrade?
weird logic
Sorry Samboll, but until I have my site up and running the way it should, I can not recommend anyone upgrading to 2.8. No matter what percentage is having issues, a quick check of the forums tells us that quite a few individuals are experiencing difficulties. So no, I can not, in good faith, recommend anyone upgrading.
Backup your site and then upgrade. If problems occur, try to fix them. If you can't fix them, then restore your backup. Look at the following list for some basic things to do to help ensure a smooth upgrade...there is no 100% guarantee on anything...that's why you backup.

©2013-2016 UntamedUnwanted
Having fun with type because this is so much fun to do. I adore working on things like this. Just a poster I am making for K.
You should scan this in and make it a print! I would buy it
Really nice font!
Lovely work!
Is that written on a napkin? Gorgeous calligraphy as usual, m'dear. I'm sure K will love it.
Nope, its made on a sketch pad...just the odd placement of another drawing on another page makes it look that way. Thank you for the comment, my dear!
Gotcha...God reading my comment, that's such a stupid question...thank you for answering ...no need to thank me for the comment, it was the truth.
The fonts are beautiful
you do requests free?
Depends on the quote.
Nice quote.

Witching hour, welcomed with a sigh,
bare-breasted and ink-stained in the night.
Half in love in this half-life half-light;
pisat O Fevrale navsnryd, dreaming
of the gods. Wanderer, today I died and
died again, and whispered prayers
to clasped hands… until the nestled
droplets fell away like sunrays at dusk;
and when moonrise came, I sang again.

Thank you so much!
your own poetics have done sweet justice to that little borrowed bit. such live, breathing longing in this.
This carried me away....
What language is that fourth line? SO beautiful!
It is gorgeous, I agree. I think it's Russian, but it may possibly be Czech -- it's a line by a Russian poet by the name of Pasternak. It means something along the lines of Write of it, sob your heart out, sing.
half in love in this half-life half-light
I love this line.
I love this line.
Oh, this is beautiful.
'Half in love in this half-life half-light' - I enjoyed the rhythm of this line through its use of repetition and rhyme scheme.
Like a snapshot of an image, this leaves a brief but lasting impression.

I like this. There's something very minimalist about it, but it's so pretty; your imagery is lovely. I love the phrase: bare-breasted and ink-stained. The last line is beautiful. Great piece!
Oh great last line!
Holy wow. This is incredible.
Beautiful. Just... beautiful.
... this caught me so much by surprise i was literally" oh my gods this is beautiful" its amazing
Oh - it's such a pleasure to get comments like this. Thank you so much! I really am glad you enjoyed this piece.
Extremely impressive.
So gorgeous.
"Half in love in this half-life half-light" has got to be my favorite line. I just love the alliterative use of "half", which is odd, because usually I don't like repeated words...though I suppose it's different for poetry than prose XD
How do you write so well?

Tim Geithner Smacks Down Relationship Rumors
The treasury secretary insists his relationships with the heads of large financial institutions are professional.
In addition to saying that a second-wave financial crisis was "not acceptable," and reiterating that banks needed to realize they had "lost the basic confidence and trust of the American people," in an interview with NPR yesterday, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner finally addressed the persistent rumors that suggested his close relationships with heads of large financial institutions — as evidenced by multiple phone conversations, tennis dates, etc. — were more than professional.
Regarding his regular communications with executives of some of the largest banking institutions, Geithner said there's "a misperception" about this.
"Again, I'm the secretary of the Treasury," he said. "I have to spend time figuring out what it's going to take to fix the things that are broken in the financial system — that requires spending time with the leaders of the nation's major institutions. There's no way anybody could do this job without doing that."
We hope he's telling the truth, for the sake of the American people. We've heard this kind of thing before, and we're not sure we could bear the sight of a grainy photo of Geithner and Jamie Dimon walking hand in hand on the beach with an adopted child.

the og tags generated for thumbnail-image dimensions just contains the default thumbnail-size which is set in wordpress, not the actual dimensions of the image.
If you edit your thumbnails via WP, as you should (nobody uses squares as imgages) your rarely hit the sweetspot of 200x200 by drag and draw. So most thumbnails are not 200x200 as og loves to have.

Why does audio store so many samples of the audio? I mean, 1 sample per second should theoretically hold the same amount of audio as a 48,000 sample/sec audio file, I don't understand it, I get the bit size though AKA 16/24bit, that's not what I'm asking about.

The range of most human hearing is 20Hz to 20,000Hz.
Sound is when something oscillates back and forth, vibrating the air, which your ear picks up as sound.
If we have a system where a device can take 8-bit bytes from a file, convert them into analog voltages which control a speaker, to reproduce the highest frequency possible, you will need two bytes, one at the minimum value (0), and one at the maximum value. (Encoding this way is called PCM - we're assuming 8-bit PCM for this.)
So if you have a file consisting of 255, 0, 255, 0, 255, 0, it will cause the speaker to be vibrated as fast as possible. You need some difference in the values to actually move the speaker and create sound (i.e. "oscillate"). If your file is nothing but 255, 255, 255, 255, the speaker is going to stay in one position and not create any sound.
And if you want to output the full range of human frequency response, your output device needs to be able to move that speaker at least 20,000 times a second. hence at least 40,000 bytes per second.
I don't know why 44,100 was selected as a standard for CD's over 40,000Hz. 48,000Hz, which is usually really 49,152Hz, was probably selected because it's easily divisible by powers of 2 and more easily handled by digital circuits.
1 sample per second could only record a sound with a maximum of 0.5Hz - not very useful.
The basis for that is the Nyquist–Shannon sampling theorem. It says that the sampling rate has to be twice as high as the signals spectrum. This means that with 48,000 samples/sec you can sample audio signals up to 24kHz, given we start our lowest frequency at 0Hz.

J. Scott Applewhite, Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Senators racing for the exits after a year of bitter battles passed legislation Saturday that would extend a Social Security payroll tax cut and jobless benefits for just two months, setting the stage for the next fight until February.
While a partial victory for President Barack Obama's year-end jobs agenda, the measure awaiting House approval next week contains a provision demanded by Republicans to pressure the White House into approving construction of a Canada-to-Texas oil pipeline that promises thousands of jobs.
Democratic and GOP leaders option for the short-term extension after failing to agree on big enough spending cuts to pay for a full-year renewal of the payroll tax cut. The 2 percentage point tax cut affects 160 million taxpayers. The weekly jobless payments average about $300 for millions of people who have been out of work for six months or more.
The measure was approved by an 89-10 vote during a Saturday session.
Votes were scheduled later Saturday on a $1 trillion-plus catchall spending measure setting the day-to-day budgets of 10 Cabinet agencies. The House cleared the spending bill Friday.
In a statement, White House communications director Dan Pfeiffer indicated Obama would sign the two-month extension measure, saying it had met his test of "preventing a tax increase on 160 million hardworking Americans" and avoiding damage to the economy recovery.
The statement made no mention of the pipeline.
The legislation, would require the president to grant a permit, but allows Obama to opt not to do so if he determines that the pipeline is "not in the national interest." One senior administration official said the president would almost certainly refuse to grant a permit. The official was not authorized to speak publicly.
The developments came a few hours after the White House publicly backed away from Obama's threat to veto any bill that linked the payroll tax cut extension with a Republican demand for a speedy decision on the 1,700-mile Keystone XL oil pipeline proposed from Canada to Texas Gulf Coast refineries.
Obama said on Dec. 7 that "any effort to try to tie Keystone to the payroll tax cut I will reject. So everybody should be on notice."
Obama recently announced he was postponing a decision until after the 2012 elections on the much-studied proposal. Environmentalists oppose the project, but several unions support it, and the legislation puts the president in the uncomfortable position of having to choose between customary political allies.
Republican senators put the price of the two-month package at between $30 billion and $40 billion said the cost would be covered by raising fees on new mortgages backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
The fees, drawn from a Treasury Department housing finance market reform plan, would add several thousand dollars to the 30-year cost of home loans guaranteed by mortgage giants Fannie Mae Freddie and Freddie Mac and the Federal Housing Administration.
A worker making a $100,000 salary would reap a tax cut of about $330 through the short-term payroll tax extension.
A version of the fee that circulated overnight would effectively raise the interest rate on a mortgage by one-tenth of one percentage point, but the still-undetermined final version — awaiting analysis from the Congressional Budget Office — was expected to be lower.
The measure also provides a 60-day reprieve from a scheduled 27 percent cut in the fees paid to doctors who treat Medicare patients.
Officials said that in private talks, the two sides had hoped to reach agreement on the full one-year extension of the payroll tax cut and unemployment benefits that Obama had made the centerpiece of the jobs program he submitted to Congress last fall.

EXCL. PREVIEW: "Hal Jordan & the Green Lantern Corps" #1 Enforces 'Sinestro's Law'
Comic Books
Welcome to the four hundred and twenty-eighth in a series of examinations of comic book legends and whether they are true or false. Click here for an archive of the previous four hundred and twenty-seven. This week, how did the Comics Code save Sue Storm from a spanking? Plus, did famed Argentinian novelist Julio Cortázar really write a Fantomas comic? Finally, who the heck is the Gay Desperado and what does he have to do with the Bold Buckaroo and the Lone Vigilante?
Let's begin!
NOTE: The column is on three pages, a page for each legend. There's a little "next" button on the top of the page and the bottom of the page to take you to the next page (and you can navigate between each page by just clicking on the little 1, 2 and 3 on the top and the bottom, as well).
COMIC LEGEND: The Comics Code made Stan Lee and Jack Kirby edit a panel where the Thing threatens to spank the Invisible Girl.
STATUS: I'm Going with True
Last week, in my feature spotlighting comic book trends, I did a bit on superhero spankings.
Reader Bret S. then wrote in to send me a link to the following piece at a comic book spanking fan site.
In it, they make a convincing case that this was, indeed, intended to be a panel of the Thing threatening to spank the Invisible Girl.
Note how the lettering is JUST off on "catch"? It looks like Sue's dialogue has also been slightly altered. In fact, there's even a decent case to be made that the Thing's right arm has been erased and re-drawn. The lettering, though, looks pretty darn evident that something was changed. "Ya want I should spank her for ya?" fits perfectly into the sentence AND the posing of the characters.
How hilarious is that?
I showed it to Tom Brevoort and he agreed that this just had to be an example of the Comics Code saying, "Hey, yeah, you can't do that" and making Marvel change it. I was already pretty much convinced, but Tom's agreement cinched the deal for me.
Thanks to Bret S. for the link, thanks to Tom Brevoort for making me feel more confident about going "true" for this (as really, there is no other way to prove it nearly fifty years later) and thanks to the "Chicago Spanking Review" for their great detective work!
And don't feel bad for ol' Ben Grimm. He had the opportunity to make up for lost time in a 1980 issue of Marvel Two-in-One…
Check out some Entertainment and Sports Urban Legends Revealed!

Was a John Wayne Anti-Communism Re-Dubbed and Edited to Make it into an Anti-Drug Film Outside the U.S.?
Was One of the Main Characters in Alien Nation Originally Going to be Named George Jetson?
On the next page, did famed Argentinian author Julio Cortázar write a Fantomas comic books?
Gay Desperado?? Oh, to see Grant Morrison's take on that character……..
Moondragon would have preferred that coming from the She-Hulk.
moondragon would have proably prefered gettiing a spanking from like maybe one of the female avengers. or even Valkire from the defenders for think she was a member of the defenders during that period or evil back then. plus can just see grant running with gay Desperado turning despero gay like part of his multiplicity thing.
Actually, I would have preferred seeing She-Hulk spanking Moondragon…
Actually, Fantomas (original French spelling: Fantômas) is a popular French pulp-novel villain dating back to 1911. Although there have been comic adaptations since the 1940s, he remains popular primarily to the movie versions, especially the ones starring Jean Marais as Fantômas and Louis de Funès as his foil, Inspector Juve.
Oh yeah, Menshevik, I know that (I did a CBLR on Fantomas, specifically the story of how Morrison just adapted the character into Fantomex a number of years back). I was just noting that he WAS a popular comic book character in Europe, Central and Latin America at the time. It is just that he was a pulp novel character, as well. ;
So did readers catch on to the story being reused or not?
Odds are that their theory that kids from 1948 wouldn't be still reading comics in 1950 was accurate and not many people noticed.
I think my favorite part of those Gay Desperado pages is how they made his real name as close to the earlier version as possible for ease of relettering. Jim Collins becomes Tim Rollins becomes Tom Cullen.
Of course, this is far and away my favorite Gay Desperado panel, for obvious reasons.
Makes me wonder when the term "gay" became no longer viable or too weighted for a character. I would imagine the changing of Gay Buckaroo to Bold Buckaroo had something to do with that, though obviously it was still debatable at the time, since it stuck on the cover. I also wonder if certain characters like Cowboys, could carry off the term longer, since they were set in the past.
My dad's name is Jim Collins so I'm getting more than a little chuckle out of that last legend…
I think The Cortazar legend lacks of deep.
First, the images, were not drawn for the book. Cortazar discovered he appeared without permission in a Fantomas comic book and decided to re-use some panels for the book. Also without permission.
Lets also say he did not earn any money from it, and he allows its free use as long as the Bertran Tribunal Conclusions are attached to the story as it was.
On the other side, CortazaR DID really write a comic-Book. Although not as know as Fantomas because it was edited after his death.. It saw an ilegal printing in 1980 but wasn't properly edited until cortazar's death 20 aniversary
It's called "La Raiz del Ombú" (Ombu's Root) and it was drawn by Alberto Cedrón.
I haven't read it, but here you may see some panels.
some more (in bad quality) here:
I have no research to confirm it, but I would suspect the 60s as the timeframe for "gay" becoming more closely associated with homosexual. Most movies and literature of the previous periods seem to use more euphemisms, like "pansy" and "nancy", amongst others. With the 60s, you have Stonewall and the hippie movement, so it would seem to make more sense. Like I say, I have no proof, just a theory.
Here's a suggestion for a future legend, though it has only a tenuous relationship to comics: was the Shadow swiped from the Louis Feullade silent serial, Judex? Was the original Doctor Who series inspired by the French sci-fi character Doctor Omega?
Sorry, that was my question about Judex and Doctor Omega. I skipped over the name and e-mail part.
I think The Cortazar legend in not quite acurate.
First, the images, were not drawn for the book. Cortazar discovered he appeared without permission in a Fantomas comic book and decided to re-use some panels for the book. Also without permission.
Lets also say he did not earn any money from it, ands free use is allowed as long as theII Russel Tribunal Conclusions are attached to the story as it was originally.
On the other side, Cortazar DID really write a comic-Book. Although is not as know as Fantomas because it was edited after his death.. It saw an ilegal print in 1980 but wasn't properly edited until cortazar's death 20 aniversary
It's called "La Raiz del Ombú" (Ombu's Root) and it was drawn by Alberto Cedrón.
To Fredll: The shift in meaning of "gay" from "carefree and playful" to "homosexual" happened in the 1960s. Even then, it was still common to use "gay" without any sexual connotation, as in the last line of THE FLINTSTONES' theme song, "We'll have a gay old time." So since the name change from Gay Desperado to Bold Buckeroo happened in 1948, it would've most likely had nothing to do with any sexual connotations — unless it was the connotation "gay" did have at the time of being hedonistic, promiscuous, and morally uninhibited.
I'm amused how in the second panel, the character's name changes from Jim to Tim to Tom. It's a word ladder! I suppose they could've reprinted the story a few more times with a character named Tod, Rod, Ron, Roy, Ray, Jay…
In your list of classic legends on page 2, the 'Did Mario Puzo write comics?' hyperlink takes the reader to the 'Did Patricia Highsmith, author of The Talented Mister Ripley, write comics?' web page.
The Gay Ghost was in Sensation Comics for a pretty good run in the 40's. When a story was reprinted in World's Finest early, early in the 70's (71 or 72), the character's name was changed to the Grim Ghost, which DC has maintained ever since (in the few appearances like Who's Who that the character ever got). So the more provocative connotation most likely started becoming known to the point that "even kids" would know it by the late 60's.
The transition in the meaning of "gay" from "happy, carefree" to "homosexual" was long and gradual. There's a moment in the 1938 comedy "Bringing Up Baby" in which Cary Grant mockingly explains how he ended up wearing a woman's nightgown by saying that he "just went gay all of a sudden!" This is often cited as the first recorded usage of "gay" to mean "homosexual," although in order for the joke to make any sense, the usage would by that point have to have been widespread enough for at least *some* of the audience to have caught the meaning. Obviously, though, given what's already been covered with the Flintstones theme song, the idea of "gay = happy" was still quite common up through the 1960s.
So basically, the Gay Desperado's name change may or may not have been made to avoid homosexual connotations, as the character's publication history puts him squarely in the middle of that era of transition.
I may be wrong but didn't Animal Man meet the Gay Desperado during Grant Morrison's run?
It was when Buddy's family had been killed for a bit and he was wandering through the lands of meta-comics before meeting his maker (Grant Morrison himself).
Even the Gay Desperado was too embarrassed to return.
If I remember correctly.
That was the Gay Ghost Animal Man met.
That was the aforementioned Gay Ghost, M.
Also, wow…they did even less work to recycle the Desperado than they did Madame Satan. Though their colouring and/or printing was certainly getting better by the time he became the Lone Vigilante, I have to say.
I completely buy the change in lettering to avoid the spanking, but I'm still trying to figure out what they changed….
Because while CATCH looks changed, doesn't the SHOULD (and maybe I) look like it was the same print job? But "You want I should spank her for ya" makes perfect sense, so I'm not sure why the SHOULD would need to be reprinted.
Also makes more sense than what is printed there if Sue is saying "If you don't let go of me this instant…" but the spacing seems all wonky. I believe it's true, just trying to figure out how they fixed it.
That, and with the recent "Super-Spanking" post, when the Comic Code suddenly decided spanking was no good anymore.
"moondragon would have proably prefered gettiing a spanking from like maybe one of the female avengers. or even Valkire from the defenders for think she was a member of the defenders during that period or evil back then."
That could have made for a funny scene particularly given that at the time Valkyrie couldn't hit hurt a woman. It would have been funny to see her get fed up with Moondragon, put her over her knees, and then go, "Oh, right. Crap."
Cortazar did write a comic book!
"La Raíz del Ombú" was written by julio Cortazar and ilustrated by Alberto Cedrón. It's available in a spanish limited edition and in french as "la racine de l'ombú".
Insead of fantomas, what about the "raices del´Ombú" comic?
Doesn't it count as cortazar writing a comic book?
The 1960s British Toys of Doom strip was reprinted at least twice but edited so you supposedly had a different villain (Threat of the Toymaker and Terror Toys–at least one of them had some new artwork added). Plus being reprinted without changes but again as The Terror Toys. And then inspiring a sequel. Details here: http://www.internationalhero.co.uk/t/toymakr1.htm on the excellent International Superheroes site.
I was confused, I thought you meant Fletcher Hanks' Fantomah, the flying skull jungle revenge woman. A simple mistake!
The best thing about the reused cowboy story is that by the third try, the coloring is getting pretty good!
Hah, I have that issue of Marvel Two-in-One. Bought it in a thrift shop with my mom something like 20+ years ago. It's weird how you sometimes remember stuff like that.
The Gay Desperado story gets even odder. He started off looking very different and wasn't a cowboy character at all! He had one or two adventures where he wore a mask, a hat and a checkered jacket in a current day urban setting (Punch Comics #13), although the basic premise/back story and names are the same. When reprinted by St.Johns Publications in Authentic Police Cases #4, there's a recoloring and lettering job so that he becomes the Masked Blackjack!
Haha, whoa, a lot of super creepy posts about spanking here. Thumbs up, dudes!

handmade journals
The journey of journals - a part of my passion goes into creating each journal and to know someone else then adds a part of their life into the same journal is the journey of journals.
The arts have always been a part of my life. My passion has roots in hand-quilted quilts and mixed media art. I've experimented with various techniques of mixed media, canvas, sewing and binding. After finding a unique process that would create pieces of functional art as journals, I was able to combine my love of various mediums and texture to create one of-a-kind-journals.
I'm always amazed there is a new part of life to be learned in each day. Observing all the differences and similarities that exist create a challenge of the simple versus the complex. Life stimulates the senses and evokes various emotions that form enigmatic creations that ultimately represent my interpretation of the world around me.

I'm a newbie so go easy on me.
I transferred my wordpress.com blog to my site which is hosted by just host but powered by wordpress.org.
The posts are there because I can see them in the CMS but they are not showing up in my actual site.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
