Eccrine tumors with ectodermal dysplasia are part of this medical condition. ++ Keratosis Palmoplantaris with Cystic Eyelids, Hypodontia and Hypotrichosis; Eccrine Tumors with Ectodermal Dysplasia Syndrome. ++ Autosomal recessive inheritance ++ A comprehensive classification of the primary palmoplantar keratodermas was suggested by Stevens et al. in 1996. The term "palmoplantar ectodermal dysplasia" was used where more than a single ectodermal structure was involved to emphasize the generalized nature of the disorder. They further identified a total of 19 subtypes and the Schopf-Schultz-Passarge syndrome was determined to be Type XXIX. Cause unknown. Chromosomal study normal. ++ Clinical features characterized by a disorder of hair, nail, teeth, and sweat glands in various combinations. The eyelid cysts are considered expansion of the glands of Moll. ++ Hypotrichosis: fine, sparse head hair; sparse eyelash and eyebrows. Hypodontia: early loss of decidual teeth; few permanent teeth. Eyes: epidermal cysts of eyelids are characteristic. Skin changes: plantar and palmar keratosis; nail dystrophy. Exocrine gland tumor may occur on hands and feet. Affected individuals have normal lifespan and function. ++ There are no specific anesthesia considerations associated with this condition. Any considerations will be related to the surgical procedure only. ++ Papillon-Lefèvre Syndrome: An extremely rare genetic disorder that typically becomes apparent during the first 5 years of life. It is characterized by palmar-plantar hyperkeratosis in association with periodontium. The deciduous teeth are lost by age 5 years. Without treatment, most of the permanent teeth may also be lost by approximately age 17 years. Other clinical features include frequent pyogenic skin infections, nail dystrophy, and hyperhidrosis. It is transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait. ++ Haim Munk Syndrome: Characterized by palmoplantar hyperkeratosis and onychogryphosis. Pes planus, arachnodactyly, and/or acroosteolysis have been reported. Periodontosis may also be present. It is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. Some researchers believe the disorder may be a variant of Papillon-Lefevre Syndrome. ++ Meleda Disease (Mal de Meleda): An extremely rare disorder characterized by the slow progressive development of palmoplantar hyperkeratosis. Affected skin may be unusually red and become abnormally thick. Affected children may exhibit abnormalities of the nails, hyperhidrosis with unpleasant odor, and/or lichenoid plaques. In addition, cardiac abnormalities and cardiomegaly have been reported. It is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. ++ Sjögren Larsson Syndrome (SLS): A rare inherited disorder characterized by ichthyosis, palmoplantar hyperkeratosis, and ecchymosis. Affected infants may show mental retardation, spastic paraplegia, seizures, and eye abnormalities. It is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. ++ Fitzsimmons Syndrome: An extremely rare inherited disorder characterized by slow progressive development of palmoplantar keratosis, mental retardation, and spastic paraplegia. Children may show an abnormally high pes cavus.

Since the holidays are coming and I won't have as much time for reading, I've been looking back at the books I've read this year. There's been quite a few very memorable books, even ones that have snuck their way into my top 5 books ever (so far). Lots of these aren't new but are new to me, and maybe you haven't read them yet and I'm here to tell you you should. These are the top ten books I've read this year, which should definitely be put on your Christmas list.
The Top X
1. The Tigers Wife by Tea Obreht
2. Battleborn by Claire Vaye Watkins
3. Dog Boy by Eva Hornung
4. Salvage the Bones by Jesmyn Ward
5. You Came Back by Christopher Coake
6. Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe
7. Too Much Happiness by Alice Munro
8. Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer
9. Girlchild by Tupelo Hassman
10. Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese*
The top five are definitely in order, the rest are pretty close and I had trouble choosing where to put them. But seriously, those top five are not to be missed. Of those top four female authors, Obreht, Watkins, and Ward are all under 35 and they will, quite simply, blow you away. The top five are books I wish I had read more slowly, so I could have prolonged the experience with each. They are books I would buy for others as gifts, because I know they are that good.
But every book on this list provided a wonderful reading experience. I highly recommend each one. And although choosing favorite books is personal, my recommendations are not altogether arbitrary (unlike, say, someone who would recommend 50 Shades of Grey because it makes their lady-parts tingle). They're good books. They have complex characters and theme driven plots and many take risks which I haven't seen before. Read them, won't you?
Oh, and I would love to hear some of your favorites from this year (or of all time). I'm always looking for new books to add to my Christmas wish list.
Oh, and I would love to hear some of your favorites from this year (or of all time). I'm always looking for new books to add to my Christmas wish list.
*Cutting for Stone almost didn't make the list because the first 175-200 pages are dreadful to get through. Keep that in mind if you're going to pick this one up. However, it redeems itself over the course of it's 650 or so pages, and I figure greatly enjoying at least 2/3 of the book makes it worthwhile.

The Everton defender believes that the 1-1 home result against Ukraine can be built upon and that the national team are still on course to qualify for World Cup 2014 in Brazil
The visitors nearly pulled off a shock win but the Three Lions came away with a point when a late Frank Lampard penalty snatched a vital point.
The Everton player, who replaced the sidelined John Terry in the starting line-up, admitted that the performance wasn't the best from Roy Hodgson's side, but says the team will be fine as long as they improve from their first two games.
"It's probably the right word to use: 'Okay'. No great shakes," Jagielka told reporters.
"We'd have loved to have had the full six points [from the first two games] but four points will do.
"As long as we continue building on it, we'll be fine. [It was] definitely one point gained.
"We look forward to the next game now and if we can make that seven then it's a progression and hopefully we'll finish top of the group.
"But if you look at the chances we created, two or three pretty clear-cut ones in the first half and a couple more in the second - hitting the post and stuff - as much as the performance wasn't amazing, we still showed glimpses of being able to create the chances.
"If we'd taken them, especially earlier on, we'd have been in control of the game."
England had a Jermain Defoe goal disallowed as referee Cuneyt Cakir frequently blew his whistle against the home side to frustrate the Wembley faithful, and Jagielka admitted to being frustrated by the official's performance, but conceded that there isn't much you can do about it.
"We're winning the ball and the ref's either booking us or giving free kicks," Jagielka added. "So, a little bit frustrating but there's not much we can do about that.
"Thankfully, we managed to keep plugging away and get the penalty. Frank was calm as you like, finished it off, and a draw's not a bad result at the end."

Sci fi/Fantasy image by
Jeff PorterI did this in April of 2005 and consists of more of the Warhammer characters. Here on this far off desolate moon, an Eldar raiding Party has completely eviscerated this small reconnaissance patrol of Space Wolves. In the usual gaming fashion the Howling Banshees, guided by a Warlock, have carved through their unprepared opponents with ease. In the background you see as the swift Eldar Jet bikes and Falcon hover-tanks alter their courses to greet the inevitable Space Marine reinforcements raining down from the heavens on the distant horizon. This I did in pen and ink then scanned it into Photoshop. Overall I was pretty disappointed with this piece, I think that I should have made the figures even closer together in the melee. I spaced them out so I wouldn't cover up background figures with foreground figures. There's a lot more wrong with this picture but I don't want to sound like I'm chronically depressed. On a positive note I do think I did well animating the figures.

Brian Campbell of the Florida Panthers became the first defenseman in 58 years to win the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy that honors sportsmanship and "gentlemanly conduct" at the NHL Awards Show in Las Vegas on Wednesday night.
Florida's Dale Tallon lost out to St. Louis' Doug Armstrong for General Manager of the Year.
Campbell, who came to the Panthers in a draft-day trade last June, is only the third defenseman (Bill Quackenbush, Red Kelly) ever to win the award.

The colors are incredible and the print is perfect....birds and flowers?? Yes please! Since the feel of them is so vintage and floral I thought they would be perfect paired with a few modern geometrics. Would you use these in your home? I am DYING to buy them but I don't have a use for them here. I know I would find a spot in our new house....if we had a new house yet! lol. I am really feeling the pull to start looking for a place in Cincy. We are going through all the "fun" of inspections here and I need something to look forward to but due to the fact that we are not actually moving until June I feel like it's still a little early to start looking. Kind of in limbo on the home front - so shall be the case for the next few months I guess!
Happy Stylish Friday!

HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a virus that weakens the body's defense (immune) system until it can no longer fight off illnesses, such as pneumonia, tuberculosis, cancerous tumors and others. HIV kills CD4 cells (T cells), which direct the body's immune system to defend against infection.
A person is considered to have AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) when HIV seriously damages the immune system. In the U.S., an HIV-infected person receives a diagnosis of AIDS when his or her CD4 count is less than 200 or if diagnosed with a specific illness. (An average CD4 cell count in a healthy person is 1,150.)
There is still no cure or vaccine for HIV or AIDS. There are new drug treatments that can help many people with HIV stay healthy longer and delay the onset of AIDS. As a result of these drugs, the number of HIV cases that develop into AIDS, and the number of AIDS-related deaths, have dropped dramatically in the U.S.
HIV can only be passed from person to person through body fluids, like blood, semen, precum or pre-ejaculate fluid, vaginal fluid and breast milk. The most common ways HIV is passed are:
Children born to infected mothers can also become infected during pregnancy.
A mother with HIV can expose her child to the virus through exposure to infected blood during childbirth, but that risk can be reduced to nearly zero if the mother and child follow a recommended course of treatment during and immediately after pregnancy.
No. You do not get HIV from an HIV-infected person by working together; playing sports; shaking hands; hugging; closed-mouth kissing; sharing drinking glasses, eating utensils or towels; using the same wash water, drinking fountain or toilet; swimming in the same pool; or coming into contact with the person's sneezes, coughs, tears, or sweat. You also don't get HIV from bug bites or by donating blood.
HIV affects each person differently. Many people with HIV can look and feel healthy for years, so you cannot rely on symptoms to know if you (or others) are infected. The only way to know if you are infected is to be tested.

New Delhi: Former prime minister Manmohan Singh said on Tuesday his successor Narendra Modi was ahead of him as far as communication is concerned.
Addressing the Congress chief ministers' meeting in New Delhi, Manmohan Singh said: "I have to acknowledge that my successor has been a more adept salesman, event manager and communicator than me."
He also accused the Modi government of repackaging the UPA government's initiatives and marketing them as new.
"Many of our initiatives are being repackaged and are being aggressively marketed as something new," he said.

(Pleasantries for a change!)
I decided I wanted to get out a bit today and take pictures but I wanted it to be someplace relatively close. I remembered news stories about an old wooden bridge that they were going to do away with and I decided I wanted to head out in that direction. Who knew there was a whole new world just thirty minutes away from my house? (I knew, I just sometimes fail to appreciate it, and to take advantage of it.)
My twenty year old daughter rode along with me. We were deep in the swamp. Apparently they had just put down a layer of fresh rock on the road and it felt "mushy" so she was crawling along at five miles an hour (or less) gripping the steering wheel. I was worried that if she did not pick up speed we were going to bog down! We kept rounding curves and seeing more of the same stuff. We didn't really know where the road was leading to but our curiosity kept us going.
When we saw this guy, I reminded my daughter that it was curiosity that killed the cat! My daughter snapped the photo from the safety of the car. I really wanted to get out and get a closer shot. I planned on doing that when we came back by. But when we passed him on the way out, something spooked him and he high-tailed it into the bushes. I did not realize these little guys could move so fast!
I only got two photos of the bridge. They recently redid it and are trying to get it listed as a historical monument or something. I'd like to go back another time (if I can remember how to get to it!) and get some better pictures.
This is a photo of a mimosa blossom (with a texture layer applied). I braved it and got out of the car at this point to take a few photos. It is amazing to me how the land changed on this one road we were on. At one point we were driving through swamp and then we were driving on firmer roads with rice fields on the side of them. We were sort of afraid we had somehow wandered onto private property. Fortunately no one shot at us!
And then there is this one. Again I was playing around with layers. I like this quote a lot but I am not so sure I like the "thang" a lot.
My photos do not do justice to how pretty (and how isolated) this area is. Nor can they convey the sounds of the birds singing or the smell of the fresh creosote on the bridge or the smell of the mimosa blossoms. Or was that the smell of the tree with the white flowers on it? I am not at all sure. What I know for sure is that something smelled really good when I stepped out of the car to take pictures.
Another frustration is my failure to adequately capture cypress knees! They were all over the place and I tried to get good photos but no matter how I try, the photo does not show whatever it is I see when I look at these things! Maybe it is because I zoom in too close. When there are so many, it looks like a convention of gnomes or something! I get this crazy urge to sit a while with them and see if they have anything to tell me (or maybe to sit and tell them something)!

Believing Impossible Things
The word "believe" has been coming up for me in a lot of places lately.
This is a page from a book I am working in. I have trouble believing that I am enough. At first I thought that statement "I am enough" meant "I am tough strong woman who does not need anybody or anything to make it through life." One night I was lying it bed and out of nowhere, it became crystal clear to me that "I am enough" really meant "I am (fill in the blank) enough. I am smart enough. I am creative enough. I am good enough. I am pretty enough. I am brave enough. I am strong enough.
You probably have your own things you could use to fill in the blank.
So part of the focus of this journal is to name the places where I am good enough. It is my hope that I will eventually be able to believe the "impossible things" not only before breakfast, but also all day long.
The other part of the work I will be doing in this journal is to make a list of the qualities of the type of woman I could respect and then to work on trying to become that woman. This was an idea from a friend of mine.
I've made the lists: "annie is a woman who ..." and I was all enthused and gung-ho when I started but I have not been back to it since I made that list!
I have issues with self-worth and I am way kinder to everybody else than I am to myself. So of course one of the things on the lists is that "I am a woman who is gentle with herself." That I can work on. "I am a woman who is secure in who she is" will be a bigger challenge.
And then there are things about the creative things I do. One of the things is that I want to work on reopening my Etsy store and doing something with my photographs and my "thangs."
I got kind of stuck on how to organize it after that so I've been thinking about what I want to do. Thinking about how you want to do something is an excellent way to procrastinate on actually doing that which you are thinking about!
And I have to remind myself that I don't need to work on everything on the list all at one time. I need to focus on one or two things at a time so that I don't get overwhelmed and quit altogether.
I won't bore you with those details but I think I have figured out what I am going to do and will probably work some on the list this weekend.

Wordless Wednesday, 04/25/12
(And a short short story.)
Glass cuts, as does grief.
We went again to the Compassionate Friends meeting.
There was a woman there whose grief dominated nearly the entire meeting,
as if the rest of us were not also hurting.
"It's just so sad," my husband says.
"It will get easier," the meeting leader man says.
I believe him.
But the woman whose grief dominated nearly the entire meeting,
as if the rest of us were not also hurting,
she does not yet believe him.
Sometimes you just have to believe.
Even when you don't.

Sometimes you just have to believe.

Joy and Sorrow Giving Birth?
Joy and
sorrow, they are never far apart, but sorrow keeps pushing joy further and
further away, not out of sight, but just out of reach (like my son—not out of
sight of my mind's eye, but out of my reach).
It was
the rain pecking on the metal roof that called me out to the patio. The noise
was like a thousand chickens pecking hard ground that will not surrender
sustenance. I was sitting on my glider, the one we finally got fixed after
nearly four years of it sitting useless on the patio. I was gliding back and
forth. It was twilight, my least favorite time of day, that time that is
neither daylight nor dark. It is the neither-ness of it all that gets next to
me. Be daylight or be dark but don't be neither that's how I feel about it all.
tell you a little bit about joy. Joy is gliding in the glider watching the
drips hang tenaciously from the cross bar on the old metal swing set. Joy is
finally getting the chains back on the glider and the nuts and bolts tightened.
Joy is sitting there feeling the temperature drop. Joy is feeling that cool
breeze brush your face and imagining that it is the hand of God and not long
after that imagining that it is my son breezing by to check on me and to
reassure me.
But is
it sorrow that makes me sit slumped down on the glider breathing deep as though
I am about to give birth to something? Maybe I am about to give birth, to
something. Sometimes it feels that way. It's not a totally unpleasant feeling.
And the
rain keeps falling and the tears pile up on the swing set cross bar.
When I
noticed the mosquitoes biting my elbows and my ankles that is when I came in
and tried to right what I felt out there. When I closed my eyes time felt like
a dust storm in my head. Part of me was not there with myself. Part of me was
whirling around in that dust storm. Was it subliminal that I wrote that I came
in and tried to "right" what I felt out there? Maybe not.
At any
rate, as I was experiencing my time on the patio I kept thinking I will not be
able to come in and sensibly explain these feelings and so I am right, it is
indeed difficult to write what it was I felt out there.
And I
remembered this that Annie Dillard wrote. It cracked me up when I read it. I'll
tell you, I still think I very much need to sit still for a little while, and
leave the dusting and sweeping and wiping for another day. And yet, the time
will come again for movement for I think I am not yet ready for burial. There
are still things in me that are waiting to be birthed.
"Earth shifts over
things. If you stay still, earth buries you, ready or not…
Quick: Why aren't
you dusting? On every continent, we sweep floors and wipe tabletops not only to
shine the place, but to forestall burial."
This is not new work, I did it in my journal sometime in the beginning of February, but it seems related to what I have written. Maybe it was a premonition of some sort...

A Wrench, a Bicycle and a Philosophical Photographer
(With a flower thrown in for good measure.)
I thought of this little one today and remembered I'd never posted it here.
I was out with my camera this morning, trying to get pictures of the carpenter bees who feed on my wooden glider. Those things are hard to get, about the time the camera focuses on their tiny little body, they move. I gave up on that and moved on to taking pics of an old rusty wrench and my son's bicycle parts. Then I went in to PSE and added layers and textures to them. I want to learn to make my own textures eventually, but for now I am using some of the free ones Kim Klassen sends out. She has a class which maybe eventually I will get to take.
I believe this one is my favorite of the bicycle pictures. This was my son's bicycle. We bought it for Christmas for him a year ago. Now it resides on the patio as part of our decor.
A quote from Pema Chodron: "In meditation and in our daily lives there
are three qualities that we can nurture, cultivate, and bring out. We
already possess these, but they can be ripened: precision, gentleness,
and the ability to let go."
No, I don't think I need to let go of my memories. I do owe a debt of gratitude to my dear son for helping me to learn lessons in letting go of things that were not mine to hold.
Excuse the pun, but it was, at times, a wrenching experience.
What can be said about a wrench propped up on a fence reaching for the sky?
I think I brought the wrench home from my grandparents' house after they both were gone. The other possibility is that I borrowed it from dad, didn't return it, and now have let it get all rusty and stuff. Ooops. No, I really think it came from my grandfather's tools. There were a couple of wood files I brought home too. I'm not sure but I think those are in the garage somewhere. I am not too good at keeping up with some of my mementos of the dead, meaningful as they are to me.
I'm trying to be all cheery and philosophical but let me just tell you, life sucks sometimes. Not all the time, thankfully, but sometimes.
Having said that, I do believe I am on the cusp of something, or at least, I am hopeful that I am. On the edge of something. Let's hope I don't fall off.
I'm working on my self. That's what it is. There are lessons being learned and observations being made and things hoped for but not quite seen.

In His Room
("I was advised to write how this came to be as a 3rd person narrative with changed names." Patti did such a great job with this writing exercise and then asked if anyone else wanted to try it. Her story brought back up a lot of memories for me but my story today is very rooted in the present.)
She is in his room again. On Good Friday there had been two
big storage totes and one suitcase full of clothing and several assorted piles
strewn about. And shoes, my god, there were shoes! His grandfather used to
joke, "You've only got two feet, why do you need so many shoes?" The boy just
grinned and went on.
The mattress and the box springs were on the floor. He'd
taken the bed apart one day when she was at work. The bedstead, which had
belonged to her grandparents, he'd taken out to the garage with all the other
family detritus. Nothing was sacred to any of them anymore.
She stood the mattress and box springs up against the wall
and sorted the clothing into piles to be washed. Then she swept the dust from
the floor and threw away the last of the trash he'd left piled up on his
bedside table, an energy drink and a couple of fries and part of a chicken
tender. It was almost too much for her to bear, throwing even these things
away. They carried his DNA. Those things she resisted the urge to keep. But
there was this one long-sleeved shirt that still smelled so much like him. She
set it apart from the laundry piles so that when she got really, really
lonesome, she could bury her face in his shirt and conjure up the smell of him
She pulled the headboard and the footboard from the garage and
lovingly dusted both pieces, marveling again at the beauty of the wood.
Silently she fussed at him for putting her treasure at risk in the varying
temperatures of the garage. But that was the way he was. He just didn't value
the things she valued.
She got the bed set up and washed the bed linens and decided
that was enough for one day. A woman can only take so much of rifling through her
son's personal things before she is overcome with sadness and knows it's time
to quit.
But now, today, the day after Easter, yes, she is in his room again. The sheets
are freshly washed and lying in a heap on the bed. There is still work to be
done. So she sets out to make the bed, smoothing the sheets, making sure the
corners on tight. And now the bed is made, with the pillows plumped just so and
it reminds her of the times he would be gone, how she would work, how they all
would work, to get things ready for the prodigal son to come home. The decorative pillows are ready for him to
toss to the corner. His clothes are hung and his shoes are neatly arranged in
the closet.
But he's not coming home this time.
And she hesitates to wash any more of his clothes. She feels
almost as if she is washing him away.

Easter Shoes
Easter Sunday will make four months he's been gone. I spent a lot of time today in his room. He had taken the bedstead down and put the mattress and box springs on the floor. I put all that back together and washed the bed linens. Now the room looks like Mama wanted it to look all along!
I also spent considerable time trying to organize his clothing and prepare it to wash. He always loved clothes and he had a lot. We used to tease him about having more clothes than a girl. He brought a lot of it to Pennsylvania with him. So when his friend brought those clothes back they were in big Rubbermaid totes and it was hard to tell what was clean and what was dirty. So I want to wash it all. We'd also been digging in it from time to time. It's hard to explain but we'd often end up in there just looking through his stuff as if we could find him hidden away in one of the piles of clothing. The girls had certain shirts of his they wanted to keep and they looked for those. So everything was sort of strung about.
I found an old Whataburger shirt he had when he worked for Whataburger. For three nights. And on the third night, when we thought he was working, he skipped out and got into some trouble. I commandeered that shirt as a sleeping shirt. Later, he did learn to be more responsible and consistent about his work.
There was one shirt that still smells so much like him that I separated it out from the laundry loads. I want to hang onto it a little longer and just wrap my face in it from time to time.
We (his sisters and I) teased him about these shoes when he bought them. They look like his toes would not be able to go all the way to the end. It looks like to me you could cut two inches off the shoe and it would still fit. The shoes had been sitting on his dresser all this time and they never failed to make me smile when I came in his room and saw them.
It's funny, the things you think of. We thought about burying him in these shoes, but there were two problems: I couldn't bear to let the shoes go, and his suit was black and the shoes are brown. He would not have approved of that arrangement!
I've got a pair of his Justin Ropers in his closet that he wore when he was three or four, and a pair of huge work boots he bought when he was working in Texas. I'm going to figure out a way to photograph the two of those together.
All these things have their way of healing my heart. I am at peace about his death. But that does not keep me from missing him very, very much.

Wordless Wednesday, 04/04/12
Yeah, I know, there are words in the second one. The first one is a sketch I did using someone's Flickr portrait as a model. I took a picture of the sketch with my phone and worked on it using an iPhone app. Then I took it into Photoshop Elements and added the eye and lip color.
I wasn't satisfied with that so I added a photo of tiny flowers plucked off a plant in the office (they were dying, ready to be removed from the mother plant, it was their time) and words and fiddled with it a little more. I am not totally satisfied with the results but I always enjoy playing around in Photoshop just to see what happens.
So there, words on Wordless Wednesday!

The Club Nobody Wants to Join
On Tuesday night of last week my husband and I went to a meeting of The Compassionate Friends. They are a national organization that was formed to offer "grief support after the death of a child." It's a meeting nobody wants to have to attend, a club nobody wants to join. Through the years I had opportunities to attend various support type meetings and I went a few times but I ever really cared for them. I wasn't sure how I'd feel about attending this meeting. But I decided I'd give it a try and see how things went.
There were probably ten or twelve people there, all in various stages of grief. One couple had just marked the first year anniversary of their son's death. Another couple lost their daughter a month before our son passed away. The couple that was facilitating the group had lost their son in the early nineties. They were well informed and very good at managing the group. It was not easy being there. But I was surprised at the level of comfort I found in being with these strangers who had walked the path that we are now walking. I think we will probably both go back again next month.
Grieving is a process and one should never try to suck it up and be strong all the way through the process. I'm fortunate that I do have a decent system of support.
The butterfly photo was taken on a recent "photo walk" at Chicot State Park. I've been looking around at animal symbolism lately. Tonight I see that the butterfly is thought to be asking us to keep our faith as we undergo transitions in our lives.

Immediately after his Wimbledon semi-final defeat by Lleyton Hewitt, Henman claimed his chances had been reduced by the slow courts.
The British No1, who is due to play James Blake in the second round of this week's Master Series hardcourt tournament in Toronto, said: "The conditions here are a lot better than at Wimbledon.
"There is no comparison in the speed of the court. It would be nice if the conditions played this fast at Wimbledon."
Grass has always been regarded as the sport's fastest surface, making Wimbledon the one Grand Slam to give an advantage to serve-andvolley experts. But this year's championship was dominated by baseline players.
Henman said: "I thought I had an incredible chance this time but Lleyton should pay off the groundsman for keeping the courts so slow."

Australian court blocks deportation of 153 Sri Lankans
Country's tough immigration policy deemed illegal

ucanews.com reporter, Colombo
Sri Lanka
July 8, 2014
The Australian High Court has ruled to block the forced return of 153 Sri Lankan asylum seekers caught in Australian waters last week. This major ruling follows an international outcry over its deportation of 41 asylum seekers who were handed back to the Sri Lankan military on Monday.
The 153 refugees have been held on a customs boat since being intercepted by the Australian navy. Australia has come under pressure not to return them to Sri Lanka in the wake of Colombo's warning that those who leave the country illegally face "rigorous imprisonment" of up to two years.
The UNHCR had criticized Australia and said it breached international commitments by attempting to deport the Sri Lankan nationals.
A court in Sri Lanka today granted bail to 27 of the 41 migrants deported by Australia.
"Many Tamils have fled the country after being subjected to torture, repeated threats, land grabbing, human rights violations and disappearances," said Kanagalingam Shivajilingam, a Tamil northern provincial councilor.
"We continuously urge the international community not to send back refugees when the country is not safe," he said.
Paikiasothy Saravanamuttu, the executive director of the Centre for Policy Alternatives, said current Australian policy is neither fair nor effective.
"Worse still, it also nurtures abuse and impunity, given the instances of torture in detention of returnees," he said.
"The obsession with illegal immigration should not be allowed to blind the Australian government and society to its international commitments and to its commitment to justice and fair play."
"Members of the international community of states have rights and responsibilities ... they cannot apply the conventions and agreements they sign up to selectively or ignore them completely," Saravanamuttu said.
Lakshan Dias, a Sri Lankan human rights lawyer, said the Australian government has a responsibility not to facilitate the subjection of asylum seekers to torture and other cruel inhumane practices.
"Australia has stopped them in the middle of the seas close to Christmas Island and without conducting a proper evaluation of these refugees they were returned back," said Dias, who has represented refugees in court.
"Everyone has the right to freedom of movement and residence within the borders of each state and has the right to leave any country, including his own, and to return to his country," he said.

REDLION KENNEL NJ Breeder of Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, Labradors and Golden Retrievers
A quality retriever is one that is bred to the breed standard, along with good health credentials of the parents and the dogs on the pedigree. A quality retriever is one that possesses the natural desire to do well in the field, either hunting or in competition. A quality retriever is a total package - one that has ability, trainability, sound temperament and is a good all-around representative of it's breed and makes a great companion and/or hunting dog. This is what we strive for at Redlion Kennel.
You may reserve a puppy in a specific litter with a $300 non-refundable deposit. Puppies leave at 7 weeks of age and will have had their first shot, worming, and dewclaws may or may not be removed. They are active and well socialized by the time they go home. A packet of helpful reading information and training-aids is emailed to you ahead of time along with a contract explaining the guarantees. Some of those items are listed on this web site under "free information" if you want to take a look. You may Email for an advance copy of a contract. Photos of the whole litter are sent out weekly.
Limited Registration: Most puppies in a litter are sold for hunting and family dogs and are required to be spayed or neutered. They will have a Limited Registration. This registration means that these dogs cannot be shown or bred and no puppies from them could ever be AKC registered. These puppies though can compete in all over AKC venues and attain titles. Only a select few puppies from some litters will be sold for showing or breeding and only to a knowledgeable breeder and there will be restrictions/requirements in the sales contract. Breeding is not for everyone. It is not to be done so kids can have the experience nor is it done to breed pets. Much expense, thought, time and effort goes into a breeding program along with health clearances, working ability of the parents and much more.
Every puppy has it's own personality and individual abilities and/or attributes. Some will make fine family companions while others are geared to be an active hunting or competition dog and a few exceptional ones will be the show competitors and be used for producing the quality dogs for the future. For these reasons above, I evaluate all the puppies and choose the puppy for the buyer, matching up what I think the abilities of the puppy will be and which puppy will best fit what the owner is looking to do with the dog. This makes for a better fit with owner & puppy and leads to a happy home for everyone. This is not done until the litter is 7 weeks olds. You and I will not know which puppy is yours until 7 weeks. I have picked many puppies and shipped them, sight unseen, to new owners all over North American and many to Europe. After having spent many years of watching, talking, comparing, competing, and using "hands on" to learn conformation and ability, I feel very confident in my selections. A knowledgeable breeder is one that can go over a litter of puppies at 7 weeks of age and easily see the differences among the puppies and pick them out accordingly to fit the new owners needs. When searching for a breeder to buy from, this is one of the things you will want to find out about them. Always ask if the parents have hips and eyes certified and ask if the PRA test has been done so that the puppies will be guaranteed to be clear of this blinding eye disease.
** Note: We send out photos of the whole litter starting from Day 1 when they are born. We continue to do this till they are 7 weeks old when they leave. We DO NOT let anyone come in to visit/play with the puppies before they are ready to go. Too many viruses and health issues these days can be tracked in on shoes/hands/clothing. That is why we post all the info we can about the litter and send you the photos to be able to show the family and follow along their progress. So there are no visits ahead of time. I have lost puppies before this way and so have other breeders I know. We all want a healthy litter and to have your puppy be here at 7 weeks of age. Thanks for understanding.

For a guy barely recognizable to most domestic soccer fans through most of his professional career, Mike Magee sure has made a lot of news over the last few months.
His inspirational goal-scoring tear nearly rescued an entire club's season, his big run at the Golden Boot, his involvement in the high profile Robbie Rogers trade, his ability to land league MVP honors on a club that didn't even make the playoffs (a rare feat) and a growing call for U.S. national team attention meant 2013 was a year the domestic soccer world at large gained far greater awareness of the versatile midfielder-forward.
And now, we are hearing about Magee for some less benign reasons.
We don't see the word "holdout" too often in Major League Soccer, but here we are.
Long story short: the team is in Tucson – Magee isn't.

Forough Farrokhzad
Unison - Poem by Forough Farrokhzad
Those two lone pilgrims of void routes,
my dark pupils, had fainted away-
under sway of his eyes.
I saw that he was waving-
on the entirety of my verve:
Like an immense fire in the wind;
Like the waltz of a sleeping lake-
under the stroke of rocks;
Like grey, thick clouds-
in the crisis of storm;
Like breathless skies-
in warm, humid days.
He was extended,
up to infinity,
down to the other side.
I saw myself thawing,
with seizing bends of his hands.
And I sank in the opaque steam of my substance.
The bewitching rhymes of his heart-
at last took away the air-
from the chants-
of my breath.
The time hastily flew away.
The drape went off with the wind.
I had surrounded him,
in the circle of flames.
I felt like calling,
but I had to leave-
with the flood of his eyes…
They streamed from extremes of night-
along the long limbs of desire and thirst,
to the morose vibration of fever,
to the lost end of me.
I felt released.
I felt released.
I saw my skin cracking in the expansion of love.
I saw my burning mass, slowly melted;
melted and poured, poured, poured.
It poured in the moon,
that waned, slight,
pale moon.
We had cried in each other.
In that fleeting instant of unison-
We had lived madly in each other.
Translation: Maryam Dilmaghani, June 2006, Montreal.

Indian-born, currently Amsterdam-based American Rajesh Mehta expands the timbral and textural palette of the trumpet in twelve pieces with accompaniment by Paul Lovens on drums and cymbals.
"The Indian-born, currently Amsterdam-based American Mehta has expanded the timbral and textural palette of the trumpet dramatically, by opening up a whole cosmos of unheard-of tone colours, microtonal possibilities and subtly shaded noises. Mehta achieves this not only by unorthodox playing techniques and by incorporating the neglected bass trumpet, but also by making use of the "hybrid trumpet", a self-designed instrument in which up to three trumpets (or cornets) are connected by plastic tubing. ... There's more to come, much more."-Peter Niklas Wilson
• Show Bio for Paul Lovens
"Born in Aachen, Germany, 6 June 1949; Drums, percussion, musical saw, etc.
Paul Lovens played the drums as a child. Self-taught, from the age of 14 he played in groups of various jazz styles and popular musics and from 1969 has worked almost exclusively as an improvisor on individually selected instruments. He has worked internationally with most of the leading musicians in free jazz and free improvisation, among whom have included the Globe Unity Orchestra, the Berlin Contemporary Jazz Orchestra, the Schlippenbach trio, Quintet Moderne, Company, and a duo with Paul Lytton. He has undertaken concert tours in more than 40 countries, is a founder member of a musician's cooperative and has produced recordings for his own label, Po Torch Records since 1976. He has worked with painter Herbert Bardenheuer. Despite very rare solo performances, and although giving occasional concerts with ad-hoc groups and an involvement in projects with film, dance and actors, Paul Lovens' main interest and work is musical improvisation in fixed small groups. In the mid-1990s these small groups numbered around 16, of which a few were part of a special selection, called 'vermögen'.
Paul Lovens somehow epitomises the free drummer/percussionist who is not there to lay down the beat and kick everyone else into action but to listen, colour, contribute, guide, and occasionally direct, the overall cooperative sound. In concert one cannot fail to be moved by his intensity and concentration and there is an overiding feeling that even the most random events are somehow planned in time. In this respect, there is a nice irony that on the Nothing to read CD with Mats Gustafsson, Lovens describes his kit as consisting of 'selected and unselected drums and cymbals'. Miking seems to be a problem at times with some recordings giving him undue prominence and others insufficient. Good recordings are Elf bagatellen, Nothing to read, Pakistani pomade, and ,stranger than love."

Burmese jail over 700 monks
Burmese jail over 700 monks
Friday, 5th September 2008. 4:24pm
By: George Conger.
Over 700 monks have been jailed by the Burmese military junta since the introduction of martial law in 1988, the Burma Lawyers' Council (BLC) reported on Sept 2, with at least 19 having died while in custody.
The statistics on the government's jailing of Buddhist monks for pro-democracy activities comes at the start of the trial of the Ven U Gambira, leader of Burma's "Saffron Revolution."
An increase in fuel prices in August 2007 by the State Peace and Development Council (SPDC) — the formal name of the military junta that seized power in 1988 — prompted protests. On Sept 21, 2007 U Gambira, the 29-year-old leader of the All-Burma Union of Monks, organized a demonstration against the price hikes. The demands soon grew to include the release of political prisoners and for talks between democracy activists and the regime.
Within days the monks' protest drew support from the people of Yangon [Rangoon], and a week of demonstrations that brought 100,000 people into the streets in support of the Saffron Revolution ensued. The police responded with force, and an estimated 3,000 demonstrators were killed. Gambira escaped the crackdown and went into hiding. However, he turned himself in to the authorities after members of his family were allegedly threatened by the regime. The Buddhist abbot has been held at Rangoon's Insein prison awaiting trial on treason and sedition charges.
His lawyers from the BLC have protested the regime's treatment of their client, and have called for the abolition of laws that call for the shackling of political prisoners and forbid monks from wearing their robes in court. U Myo of the BLC said their client would not attend the first day of trial on Sept 3 while shackled and in prison garb "because the trial of a disrobed monk damages the dignity of the monks and the Sasana [Buddhist congregation]," he said, according to a report from the Democratic Voice of Burma (DVB). The DVB also reports that police have begun a detailed census of all Buddhist monks in Rangoon, requiring them to give the names and addresses of their families, as well as their own personal information — an action seen as a veiled threat to the monks should they come out in protest this month on the anniversary of the failed uprising.
Christian leaders in Burma have also come under government scrutiny in recent days. Clergy in the northern town of Chibwe were interrogated by police last month following an illegal poster campaign protesting the construction of a dam.
Kachin Development Network chairman U Aung Wah said clergy were summoned for interrogation by local authorities on July 13 and 24. "The male and female pastors were called to the police station one at a time and pressured to find out who was behind the posters – the officials insisted that they knew there was a link between the pastors and the poster campaign," said Aung Wah.
"They were forced to sign an agreement saying that they would find out who the culprits were," he said.
The dam project is a joint venture between a Chinese company and a military controlled Burmese concern, Myanmar-Asia World Company. Kachin farmers have been driven off their land by the army to build the dam. "They have seized gardens and farmland from the locals and the project has destroyed all the roads in the area," Aung Wa said.

China Said to Arrest 100 Protesting Monks
China Said to Arrest 100 Protesting Monks
BEIJING — As many as 100 Tibetans were arrested in northwest China on Thursday after they demonstrated against the earlier detention of monks from a nearby monastery, witnesses and a Tibetan human rights group said Friday.
Local residents reached by telephone on Friday said that the police beat and arrested people at an open-air market in Tongren, a town in Qinghai, a western province bordering Tibet, after they refused orders to leave.
The residents said the town was the scene of several disturbances in recent months, including an unauthorized gathering in February involving 300 monks who were dispersed by tear gas as they tried to make their way to a government building.
A police official in Tongren confirmed by telephone that there had been detentions after "unrest," but said that half of those detained had been released.
The disturbances on Thursday were the latest sign that the continuing turmoil in Tibetan regions of China has yet to be quelled. Since the riots on March 14 in Lhasa, 2,200 people in areas with heavily Tibetan populations, most of them in Qinghai and Gansu Provinces, have been taken into custody, according to the official Xinhua news agency. The authorities said most of those who had been arrested or had surrendered to the police had been released.
At a news conference Friday in Ann Arbor, Mich., the Dalai Lama said that he had taken part in private meetings aimed at quelling the violence, but that they had not borne fruit.
"Soon after the crisis happened, there was some contact, some private channels," he said, adding, "No signs are positive." Tibetan exile groups say that 140 people, most of them protesters, have died in the violence in the Tibetan regions; Chinese officials put the number at 19 and say nearly all were victims of the rioting.
Tashi Choephel, a researcher at the Tibetan Center for Human Rights and Democracy in India, who said he had spoken to three witnesses in Tongren, said many of those arrested Thursday were monks from the Rong Gonchen Monastery. He said the monks had been at the center of previous clashes with the authorities.
"It's very, very tense," Mr. Tashi Choephel said, adding that the police were preventing anyone from entering or leaving the monastery.
The trouble on Thursday began around 11 a.m., he said, when 22 monks staged a quiet protest to demand the release of three monks who had been detained a week earlier for their role in a March 16 demonstration.
A local resident, reached by telephone, said many people were upset by the detentions. "We wanted them to come back home, but the government said no," said the resident, who refused to give his name, citing fear of punishment by the authorities.
Mr. Tashi Choephel said that armed police officers quickly arrested the monks and that word then spread to the monastery, prompting 80 monks to descend on the marketplace. The gathering turned boisterous, he said, drawing passers-by and provoking a heated confrontation with the police.
The police beat many of those at the scene, Mr. Tashi Choephel said. They were put onto four waiting trucks and taken to the county office of the Public Security Bureau.
The Dalai Lama arrived in Michigan after meeting with Chinese and Tibetan students in Canada, and said that such meetings could be a way to promote understanding between the sides.
"Now that time has come that we should start a Sino-Tibetan friendship group, and meet regularly," he said.
The Dalai Lama repeated his support for the Beijing Olympics and said that he would not ask that demonstrations stop, although he did not condone violent protests.
He also said he did not mind criticism of him by Tibetan leaders. "I welcome it," he said.

I've purchased several games but I'm sad to say this one is terrible. The spelling and English translation are terrible and the gameplay is way too fast. This has a potential to be an epic game but the problems need to be addressed A.S.A.P! I'd be willing to help just to see this game reach it's full potential!
