From the prelinger archives, the movie description from a reviewer:
...its George Jessels Old New York...in this section, we have, yes, the saloons and the dancing girls, and old time (not spelled tyme here?) movies. Why would Old New York play old time movies if this was a replica of New York? Places where you could buy good luck horseshoes, as in Good luck not getting suckered into this one, another (but significantly less busy) organ grinder with monkey, some photo opportunities with cut-outs, a carriage, a guy dressed up as a conductor wielding a GREAT dog creature puppet (reminds me when I had a baby puppet..), and a Chinatown café. After that, we go to the Bowery, where, yes, a burlesque show can be seen (Its either The Wrong Way or Dumb Doris BOTH starring Nifty Dolores!) I wonder if those mechanical dolls, the ones with the gyrating hips and perky nipples are in it Those are great! Not too sure about the doll in the gold lame outfit with the black hair lol. What do the girls in the show look like? Who knows? They appear on the barker's stage with masks on! Weeee-ha! We see them go to something called Life Class, which is another freak show it seems, rubber men, fat ladies, etc. Not too sure what the exotic woman was supposed to represent.. And that's it! Maybe not as great as the first batch, but a MUST
The movie was silent. I added Jimmy Lunceford's, "Stomp It Off" and Sidney Bechet playing "Petite Fleur"

Things with wings
67 comments:
Fabulous Valerie! Isn't that fun when you run across an older piece of work!! So true about the birds, but then, who doesn't love birds!! Have a great day, hugs :)ReplyDelete
This is very striking, Valerie! Love the abstract feeling and vibrant colors. Oh and you find at the bottomless pit is lovely. Birds are wonderful and I do love them. I have a couple of Blue Scrub Jays that come to visit me daily and one sits on a rafter right above my kitchen window peering in at me! It is really cute. I am sure my neighbors think I am a little crazy when I talk to "Blue" and tell him his breakfast is here! Enjoy!ReplyDelete
Your angel painting is really beautiful. I love cleaning out old drawers and the surprises that are inside. Just recently I came across an album of my childhood drawings. My Dad had saved them. Always fun to look back. M.xReplyDelete
Nice bonus finding that lovely painting!! Such a pretty painting with a great quote!ReplyDelete
Hugs Giggles
Liebe Valerie, Deine geflügelte Familie ist schön geworden. Bin ganz verliebt in die Idee und das schöne Zitat, das auch zu meinen Lieblingen zählt. Wenn man sich darauf einläßt, bekommt das Bild eine ganz eigene Tiefe .... schwer zu sagen, aber sehr sehr schön. Bin gespannt, ob Du es so läßt.ReplyDelete
Auf alle Fälle ein schönes Wochenende und viel Sonnenschein.
I love the one winged angels. Your photos are great, love the birds.ReplyDelete
was für ein schöner spruch. und das kenn ich: fertig oder nicht. manchmal reicht einfach liegenlassen zur Entscheidung.ReplyDelete
Wow..was für eine genial Umsetzung zu diesem Spruch! Sagenhaft! Na bitte.. welche Schätzlein Dein Bottomless pit da alles freigibt...so eine Aussortieraktion rentiert sich immer.. ich find auch immer irgendwelche Sachen, die mir zumindest neue Inspiration geben. Das ist so detailreich...ein Hammerteil!ReplyDelete
Die Meisen fressen sich richtig fett bei Dir... fütterst Du Deine Crew Enten auch ab und an?
Bei uns hat es wieder geschneit in der Nacht..alles wieder weiss...HURRA - endlich Schnee!
Happy PPF - Happy AJJ- Happy FRIDAY!!!!
I LOVE your one winged angels. So Colorful. And the older page you did Looks Fabulous.. So glad you shared it with us.ReplyDelete
I love your concept, so adorable Xo)ReplyDelete
Your angels are fab, love the colours. Happy PPF.ReplyDelete
That's a huge painting, and in my opinion less is more in your painting. It's perfect like that, well structured, simple but powerfulReplyDelete
Yes, exquisite colors in these wonderful compositions, I love your drawing of the faces and the bird, beautiful photos.ReplyDelete
Must be spring - all that sorting out you are doing! I 'did' my airing cupboard yesterday :)ReplyDelete
Those angels are really stunning - I like them as they are. Happy find in your 'bottomless pit!' - nice to find old projects

love the strong design of your angel pages and how wonderful to find an old treasured piece. you take such wonderful bird photographs. I have fat balls on the trees in my garden and love watching the birds although my camera isn't up to photographing them!ReplyDelete
Oohh was für eine tolle seite,und die farbeen sind eine wucht.ReplyDelete
deine bilder sind wie immer spitze.
hab einen schönen tag.
GLG Jeannette
Wow the big picture is wonderful just as is I think the focus is on the blue angels and the background shows them even better. The 1991 piece is so delicate and full of beauty. It is really lovely that you still have it to keep.ReplyDelete
I find myself saying hello to your birds every morning. What a joy it is to see them. My 6 fat balls in the garden remain mostly untouched and even the blackbird that seemed to like them has not been near since the seagulls returned to the industrial estate and half a mile away.
Hope you have a really lovely day
Hugs Chrissie xx
Great photos fabulous colours as well as great design.xx{The Journey is the Start – my personal blog}ReplyDelete
The same question every time we fineshed a painting... You painted a beautiful spring painting for a long time ago already. Your photos are so nice again. Happy PPF Valerie!ReplyDelete
Two beautiful paintings Valerie and well done for having a "tidy up", every cupboard and drawer in my house needs sorting out so I too am trying to do it little by little, what a load of junk I keep! Lol. XxReplyDeleteReplies
Hmm, we seem to be 2 of a kind there!Delete
I love discovering art from years ago - it's interesting to see what inspired you back then and how your style has changed. I love the quote and your interpretation of the angels supporting each other.ReplyDelete
great work, I love the blue people figures!ReplyDelete
happy PPF!
Wow absolutely gorgeous! Love your angels...bright and beautiful!!ReplyDelete
I really love your angel painting and the quote that goes with it. Both are beautiful!ReplyDelete
Wonderful vibrant colors and your figures have such grace to them. Happy PPFReplyDelete
LOVE your abstract angels and the whimsical painting with the bird and duck is super!ReplyDelete
I love your abstract figures - reminds me of Matisse cut outs. Happy PPF!ReplyDelete
How fun to come across a old treasure! Crafty spring cleaning is my favorite kind!ReplyDelete
I am not really a fan of cleaning, but I do like how it looks when everything is tidy!ReplyDelete
Beautiful painting, loved the first with the quote. Wish I could get motivated to tidy up, maybe next week.ReplyDelete
Yvonne xx
This abstract painting is fantastic with so original angels, and your painting of 1991 is very beautiful. Great artworks, Valerie! Hugs, MarReplyDelete
Lovely interpretation, it looks finished to me! Nice to see your 1991 piece, it looks more detailed. Enjoyed your photos today!ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes, I could move my fingers better in those days!Delete

Two wonderful paintings! I love your figures!ReplyDelete
LOVE your pages ♥♥♥ I've been trying to clean and organize my art supplies too... I must admit I get sidetracked a lot when I run across something I had forgotten I had or that brought me great joy in the past. I fear it's a losing battle here. Love your duck and bird photos. What is that little yellow gem in the last two photos? He's adorable.ReplyDeleteReplies
He's a blue tit, we have lots of them here.Delete
Your huge and gorgeous painting manages to be both serene and stimulating - it's wonderful. I think I like it as it is - open to interpretation and emotion, and I love the movement there. However - I am so inspired by your work on a regular basis that if you do choose to add to it, it can only become more unique and captivating.ReplyDelete
Loving all the dragonflies this week! Love love love them. Thank you as always for sharing your photos too! Sending hugs from Shroo:)xxx
You are so creative, Valerie. Another amazing LARGE piece with the perfect quote.ReplyDelete
Valerie your angels piece is so beautiful and the words very touching too!ReplyDelete
Beautiful angel piece and your found piece is very impressive too!ReplyDelete
It is beautiful, but does seem to be missing something. Perhaps that is the feeling you want to convey. We are all missing something.... hence the one wing?ReplyDelete
I love that little yellow breasted bird. What a chubby darling. It reminds me of our chickadees.
Really beautiful and colourful artwork Valerie and love those little bluetit photos.ReplyDelete
Have a lovely weekend.
Hugs, Fliss xx
Wow- i really love the first piece Valerie- the freeing of one wing really appeals to me! Happy weekend!! xoReplyDelete
Schlichte,formschöne Grafik hast du da gestaltet, mit tollen Farben und viel Aussagekraft.Super!ReplyDelete

Liebe Grüße
Lovely paintings, bright colors sing; terrific photography as well. Fun visiting, thanks for sharing! HPPF!ReplyDelete
I really did enjoy your vibrant colours and the movement of your angels! Interesting quote, too!ReplyDelete

Geniales Gemälde mit genau den Farben, die ich liebe!! Ein echter Hingucker! Toll auch der Spruch dazu! Du inspirierst mich immer wieder auch mit Deinen langen Spaziergängen und Fotografien! ♥ Conny Mix It MonthlyReplyDelete
I love, love, love the second one with ducks, birds, etc. What an awesome print it would make. You know I heard one of my coworkers say the other day, she can't stand birds. What good are they? she asked. Love your photos of the ducks.ReplyDelete
Hi Valerie, What a wonderful creation. I love things with wings. What beautiful birds too.ReplyDelete
Great duck photos and your visitor feeding is just adorable.
Have a great weekend.
Hugs, CM
Dein so farbiges Bild von heute mit den Figuren wirkt toll, aber deine alte Zeichnung gefällt mir noch mehr. Es gibt so viel dort zu entdecken. Schön, dass du sie hier zeigst.ReplyDelete
Liebe Grüße von Ulrike
Your 1991 painting is just wonderful, so detailed but with all the images making such a marvellous whole painting and it still looks so fresh. The birds are pretty, then you have the surprise of the three faces. It would make a great wrapping paper or greetings card or print. I wonder what else you have in the Bottomless Pit.ReplyDeleteReplies
Love both of your paintings Valerie no way would I attempt anything so big, but yours is really wonderful with your dreamy angels xxReplyDelete
Very surreal. Love it. Sweet birds. xoxReplyDelete
This is a wonderful piece, so sweet and beautiful, I really like it :) It reminds me of a sweet short animation movie, that I will share with you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8EYYH7uB3Y&index=22&list=PLpMemtxT2JQun70UM42T41Z76xaMSQw5J it is a bit gloomy in the begining, but have a happy ending that is similar to your painting :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks, this was beautiful!Delete
Love those one-winged-angels!ReplyDelete
And, as always, the images of your beautiful world. :)
Loving the wings. . .and the ducks/bird photos. Yep, reoccurring loves. It is amazing to me too when I find an old drawing/painting and see how good it was. Fantastic blog. Blessings, Janet PPFReplyDelete

|Condition or disease
|Abdominal Surgery
|Drug: Atorvastatin Drug: Placebo
|Phase 3
Hide Detailed Description
Study type: Double Blind Placebo Controlled
Method of Randomization: Computer Generated Table
No. of patients to be recruited: 40
Accept Healthy Volunteers: No
Drugs to be administered: Atorvastatin to 20 patients and placebo to 20 patients
Mode of drug administration: Oral
Duration of Study: 3 weeks
Patients who attend the Surgical O.P.D and the Obstetrics and Gynaecology O.P.D and are diagnosed with any condition that requires elective abdominal surgery under spinal anaesthesia will be chosen for screening. Patients undergoing day care surgery with spinal anaesthesia and an abdominal incision will also be included for screening.
Two weeks before the decided date of surgery the patients will be called for screening. The patients will first be screened for obesity, risk factors for CVS diseases and blood will be withdrawn for estimation of serum lipid levels. Further risk assessment of these patients will be done according to the NCEP ATP III Guidelines (2004 Revision of NCEP Adult Treatment Panel III Guidelines). If the patient is under the moderate risk category and fits in the inclusion criteria he/she will be called the next week for starting atorvastatin/placebo.
Patients who are defined as dyslipidemic in the moderate risk category according to NCEP ATP III Guidelines i.e patients who would benefit from statin therapy will be given atorvastatin 10 mg or placebo started one week before their expected date of surgery. They will be explained the possible A.D.R of statin therapy. Informed consent form will be filled.
On the day of the surgery the patient will be explained the Visual Analouge Scale and the Wong Pain Scale. After the operation the patients will be started on S.O.S analgesic therapy. The protocol used will be the same as followed in the surgical wards. In case of severe pain opioids will be used. For other types of pain which can be tolerated by the patients Diclofenac Sodium will be used.
The patient will be monitored after the surgery for the total dose of analgesics required for the relief of pain. Further the time of first dose of analgesic required after operation will be noted. The patient will be monitored for pain at the incision site 2, 4, 6, 12, 24 hours after the operation using the visual analogue scale and the Wong Pain Scale. Later using the abovementioned scales the patient's pain will be monitored twice daily until the patient is discharged. The McGill Pain Questionnaire will be given to the patient on the first day and every day thereafter till the patient is discharged. After discharge the patient will followed up on the day of their suture removal and pain scores will be evaluated. The patient will be asked to come weekly till the end of the study period.
Blood will be withdrawn for the estimation of serum lipid levels, total leukocyte counts, C - reactive protein and TNF-α levels at baseline(i.e day of starting therapy), on the day of the surgery before the surgery and at the fourth postoperative day. All blood samples will be taken between 10A.M-12P.M Wound healing will be monitored on a daily basis until discharge and weekly thereafter. The attending surgeon will monitor the wound for discharge, swelling, etc. Additional signs of inflammation and infection like swelling, fever, erythema will also be monitored for.
The patients will be instructed to take atorvastatin or placebo once a day for three weeks (One week preoperative and two weeks postoperative). At the end of this period the patient will be asked to continue statins from outside. In the event that the patient is unable to afford the medication he will be weaned off the statin in a gradual manner.

Decadal-timescale estuarine geomorphic change under future scenarios of climate and sediment supply

Future estuarine geomorphic change, in response to climate change, sea-level rise, and watershed sediment supply, may govern ecological function, navigation, and water quality. We estimated geomorphic changes in Suisun Bay, CA, under four scenarios using a tidal-timescale hydrodynamic/sediment transport model. Computational expense and data needs were reduced using the morphological hydrograph concept and the morphological acceleration factor. The four scenarios included (1) present-day conditions; (2) sea-level rise and freshwater flow changes of 2030; (3) sea-level rise and decreased watershed sediment supply of 2030; and (4) sea-level rise, freshwater flow changes, and decreased watershed sediment supply of 2030. Sea-level rise increased water levels thereby reducing wave-induced bottom shear stress and sediment redistribution during the wind-wave season. Decreased watershed sediment supply reduced net deposition within the estuary, while minor changes in freshwater flow timing and magnitude induced the smallest overall effect. In all future scenarios, net deposition in the entire estuary and in the shallowest areas did not keep pace with sea-level rise, suggesting that intertidal and wetland areas may struggle to maintain elevation. Tidal-timescale simulations using future conditions were also used to infer changes in optical depth: though sea-level rise acts to decrease mean light irradiance, decreased suspended-sediment concentrations increase irradiance, yielding small changes in optical depth. The modeling results also assisted with the development of a dimensionless estuarine geomorphic number representing the ratio of potential sediment import forces to sediment export forces; we found the number to be linearly related to relative geomorphic change in Suisun Bay. The methods implemented here are widely applicable to evaluating future scenarios of estuarine change over decadal timescales.

Brian Wilson Live in Toronto July 4th 2016
Well I recently just got back from a vacation in Ontario where I was able to catch a few concerts in Toronto at some venues that I have never been to but have always wanted to see. The first concert in which I went to see was Brian Wilson at the famous Massey Hall.
This Brian Wilson show sees him touring for the Beach Boys album Pet Sounds 50th Anniversary. I was excited about seeing a show at Massey Hall, the show was sold out to a capacity crowd of 2700. This was my first time seeing any of the Beach Boys in concert, and what a great way to see Brian Wilson and his 11 piece band which also included former Beach Boys Al Jardine and Blondie Chaplin. Ok, I admit, I really had no idea who Blondie Chaplin was until just recently. He only made sporadic appearances but when he did he was fucking awesome.
But I should get back to the start of what this is really about and that being the 50th Anniversary of the release of the Beach Boys Pet Sounds album that was arranged and produced by Brian, who also wrote the majority of the music and songs on this classic album.
The two hour show started with Brian Wilson shuffling on stage with his band and running through some classic Beach Boys songs such as "California Girls", "I Get Around", "Little Deuce Coupe" and "Surfer Girl". Al Jardine seemed to do most of the singing, of course Brian did sing but his voice isn't what it used to be. He looked very lethargic, watching his feet under the piano he didn't even tap his toes, he was very motionless and had a far away look in his eyes. Having said that, he was still greeted with a standing ovation when he came out and when he did sing the crowd cheered him on. Al's son Matt Jardine did all the high note falsetto singing within the harmonies and did it very well, his voice was one of the highlights of the show. Al Jardine was no slouch though either, his guitar playing was great as was his singing. Blondie Chaplin was a nice surprise during the show when he came out and wailed on the guitar, the man is good. I guess you would have to be to have played with such legends as The Beach Boys, Rolling Stones and The Band to name a few. Very impressive. The first set was about an hour long, after a short intermission it was time for Brian Wilson and his band to play Pet Sounds from front to back.
As you can imagine with an album like Pet Sounds it's a good thing he had a big back up band as this can't be an easy album to perform, with all the sound effects, symphony like arrangements, layers of vocal harmonies, all the different instruments and of course the pet sounds. After playing the song "Sloop John B", Brian said this is where you turn the album over, they then carried on playing the rest of what would be side two. The song "I Just Wasn't Made For These Times" really seemed to resonate with the audience. After the final song of Pet Sounds "Caroline, No" Brian shuffled himself off the stage to another standing ovation, the rest of the band followed. After some clapping and whistling and such the band returned playing an encore in which they played some of the Beach Boys most popular songs such as "Help Me, Rhonda", "Barbara Ann" and "Fun, Fun, Fun". These songs really hit me as I remember my parents playing these songs around the house when I was a little kid. A great encore set and very enjoyable show at a very cool venue. So glad I had the chance to see this show. Good times!!!

Looking for the nerve to open your heart? Power every little thing you finish with love utilizing these mudras from Dana Trixie Flynn, creator of Lotus Circulation Yoga as well as supervisor of Laughing Lotus Yoga Centers in New York City.
The word love is utilized a lot these days: I enjoy kale, I like your tights, I like Brooklyn. While the word has been diluteded, everybody actually desire the exact same thing: to link as well as to love even more deeply.
When we power up our cable to the heart, we end up being much more energetic, much more loving, and also packed with forgiveness. Our hands are truth conductors of our hearts, so exercising mudras (yoga in your hands) is an enchanting and reliable method to bring even more love to every person you recognize as well as everything you do. In the procedure, you become much more lovable. Obtain your hands all set for loving!
Try the Mudra + Mantra Flow
Flow via the following three mudras while repeating the rule:
"Powered by love."
Mudra: Flex Your Spiritual Muscles
Mantra: Powered
Raise your arms up, squeeze your hands into fists, flex as well as feel the voltage! On the course of magnificent love, you must exercise the muscle mass of your heart daily as well as come to be a network of your very own goodness.
Mudra: Cross Your Heart
Mantra: By
Cross your arms in front of your heart space, connecting your mind with your heart. Feel your powerful link with all fans everywhere!
Mudra: Abhaya Hridaya or Daring Heart Mudra

Although initially it doesn't seem that this is directly related to being a good husband. But, if you're a wife and mother, having your husband also be a great daddy makes him an even more incredible husband! And, it also makes him even more attractive to you ... or at least it does to me.
Rick is more than great with the kids. He is a total hands-on daddy. He baths, changes clothes, fixes meals, cleans up, plays, works in the yard, cuddles and more. He will spend entire weekends with them so I have time away to recharge, and I don't have to worry for one second about whether they will be cared for the way I want it done.
He went with me to take Eli to kindergarten for the first time. And last night when Eli was going to bed he told Rick that he wanted him to just stay home with him and "hang out".
On Brynne's birthday he took her to breakfast, just the two of them, and gave her a special gift. (Okay, he had a little help from me, but to her it was so special!!)
On Wednesday nights when Kyndal goes to youth service, she wants Rick to come pick her up, not me. It's because he's more fun. This week they played the question game on the way home. They have some great talks.
When Dawson has his play tower sleepovers, Rick's the one out there helping him run the extension cord to it so the boys can play their video games and watch movies.
I don't know what I would do without Rick as the father of my children. I'm not saying he is perfect. God knows he and I both make lots of mistakes as parents. But, I know lots and lots and lots of wives who do nothing but complain about how absent their husbands are in the upbringing of their children. I can't say that. All I can say is ...
Rick Rocks ~ Because He's a Great Daddy!!!

Lorick - Ein Interview
Im Gradient Magazine wurde ein Interview mit Lorick abgedruckt. Das Interview führte Alan Vinogradov und die wunderschönen Fotos schoss Matt Fried.
Fashion Designer Abgail Lorick is currently the head designer and creative authority behind her label Lorick. Abgail has been fascinated by Fashion since her introduction to modeling at age 15. Her label was officially launched in spring 2008 and the collections that followed her debut in are absolutely to die for. Gradient Magazine sat down with Lorick to discuss some of her future plans and inspirations.
What made you come to New York City? Has the city played a role with your fashion inspirations?
I love the ladies who lunch on the upper east side, the museums, the eccentric older women that can be spotted in big hats, the culture of all ethnicities, we just relocated to the seaport and I have fallen in love with the east river; enjoying the seaside watch of Brooklyn. Fashion is a wonderful outlet for self-expression and entertainment. Getting dressed and enjoying the process is a great pleasure of life.
As a young designer what have been some of your biggest challenges?
Sometimes it is difficult evolving as a designer and still staying true to our brand. There is a balance of evolving aesthetically and thickening the thread that makes us LORICK. I am enjoying the challenge of achieving that balance. Unfortunately managing the business end is very time consuming and designing usually has to come at the end.
What are some of the roles you are required to fulfill day to day?
Shipping, conversing with the factory, accounts receivable, fittings, designing, quality control, searching for new stores, updating press, interviews, research, following up with press, talking to costumers, learning from my interns. Every day is full of challenges that apply to every business.
What is some advice that you can offer to aspiring designers about having a good business sense and also producing a collection that is relevant and appealing?
The business end of being the designer of your own collection is very important. It is best to educate yourself as much as possible and find people who are business owners of all sizes and ask questions, learn to use that side of your brain. The business end is just as important as the creative end. And you can do both. As for producing a collection that is relevant and appealing-I think that is an instinctive process.
Business is a very complicated monster and so is fashion. Combining both of those elements can force out the passion once shared for fashion. How do you balance both of those titles, creating beautiful clothes and managing a business?
This is very true. At the beginning it was very difficult. I had a lot of sleepless nights. I now have 3 business interns, which takes a lot off my shoulders, but that being said I very much look forward to having a CEO one day. Our capital is generated through the brand. Lorick started with zero capital. Luckily, we have a factory that funds our sampling, because they believe in the brand.
Who are some of the designers that influenced you, and have you incorporated any of their elements into your own brand?
Muiccia Prada-She always carries her lady and keeps her modern. She is true to her customer-I strive to do the same. Christian Dior "The New Look" To make women lengthen their dresses is close to a miracle. We are always facing the battle that you do not need to show a lot of skin to be sexy. Alexander McQueen, he is just so innovative and on such a beautiful page in a novel I find very inspiring.
In your opinion what describes a successful fashion line? Do you feel that you have achieved those specifications?
I believe it depends on the definition of success from the designer. For me it is about making women feel fabulous, creating an elevation in their energy, and inspiring women to embrace the process of getting dressed. I have seen this change happen and it fills me with a joy that makes it all worth while.
Who are some of the people that help you make Lorick? What are their roles, and how important is it having other people contribute to your project?
I have the greatest luxury of super talented friends. They have been with Lorick since the beginning; therefore they really understand the brand. Roanne Adams, does all of our branding and art direction. Roanne is a branding genius, she keeps Lorick tide up in a gorgeous modern lady-like present. She helps find photographer's from season to season and does a beautiful job of translating our concepts to the public eye. Taylor Thomas, does all of our sales. Taylor is constantly helping us understand our customers and develop the collection from season to season. She keeps us headed in the right direction. Matthew Daniel Siskin, produced and managed our website; his efforts keep our site at top-notch quality. He is also divinely happy to help us solve any computer CS3 obstacles we encounter. We have also had the pleasure of him shooting one of our look books.
What are some of the future plans for Lorick?
Future plans for Lorick are to find as many ways as possible to accommodate our Lorick lady and supply her with everything she needs to complete her dressing needs.
What are some of your trend predictions for the future?
A Lorick Lady knows that trends come and go, while true style is timeless.

Motorola G5 processor not expected till 2004
An Architosh article talks about Motorola's processor situation and the rumored G5 processor. "...the next Motorola "G-something" processor will be a G4, its model number being MPC7457, with a MHz range between 867-1833MHz. This chip is based on a SOI (silicon on insulator), .13micron process and appears planned for sometime in 2003. The MPC7457-RM chip, planned for 2004 is more mysterious and includes RapidIO. This may be the almost mythical Moto G5 chip, code named Eleven. From the road map drawing the MPC7457-RM appears to not have a L3 cache but instead utilizes a RapidIO interconnect to high-speed DDR SDRAM. That would be consistent with the planned Moto G5 chip."

Apple employees testing wheelchair features
New features included in the forthcoming watchOS 3 are being tested by Apple retail store employees, including a new activity-tracking feature that has been designed with wheelchair users in mind.

The company is said to have gone to great lengths to modify the activity tracker for wheelchair users, including changing the "time to stand" notification to "time to roll" and including two wheelchair-centric workout apps. http://bit.ly/2955JDa

This is a story of a young woman fighting to reach her dreams. A dream that she will hold onto forever. A dream to become a mommy.

Decisions, decisions, decisions
If indeed I do have Endo (which to be honest I believe whole heartedly I do) the risks of the disease, and how it effects not only your health but fertility.
I have a dear friend who progressed very quickly, in February she had one spot, by june it had progressed to I believe it was level III and she is about to lose a tube due to the damage it has caused. That freaks me out to be honest.
Our stories are so similar, what if my tubes are destroyed? What if my ovaries have been severely damaged by this disease? What if unbeknownst to us, our only chances are through IVF?
I never in a million years would have thought that I would be facing the things I am right now. I have started to look into different choices in this journey that I never thought I would have to face. IVF vs Adoption. Hmm, the choice is so personal, so hard to make.
I know I really shouldn't worry about any of this yet, as we don't even have confirmation yet. Unfortunately I am one of those people who cant help but worry.
Last night I asked hubs a "would you rather". I proceeded to ask him if we were given $20,000 to use to build our family, would he rather spend it on IVF or adoption. Of course he said IVF, which normally wouldn't disappoint me. For some reason it did disappoint me. I would wanna do adoption.
I've never had the heart for adoption before. I never thought it would apply to me. I know the hubs wants to do everything in our power to have biological kids, and Im really not opposed to that and more than likely that is something we will pursue before adoption. But I have a feeling this is a choice we will have to make. All I know is, I am ready for a baby to love. Whether that baby comes from my womb or is placed in my arms.

There are no guarnatees with IVF and you know that, maybe your reasoning for leaning more towards adoption (Its more of a sure thing). Sweetheart trust the Lord and that he has plans for you, bigger plans then you could have ever imagined! Place your worries at the foot of the cross and leave them there, He will get you through this lean on Him for answers not on doctors or on our understand of how things may or may not play out. Praying you find comfort in our Lord and Saviour.ReplyDelete
I know how hard it is to stay optimistic. I just wanted to say that until you have some more invasive testing done (HSG, lap), there is no reason to think you won't be able to conceive with less than IVF, though I admit that as soon as I had my HSG that's where my mind went. I had a tube that was blocked from the scar tissue of my endo, and through the lap it was opened up...even with damage, sometimes there are things that can be done.ReplyDelete
There is also the endo diet. Basically you drastically reduce gluten, dairy, sugars, etc. I looked into it but hadn't started it. It would be a hard diet for me to do, but it's something that people who do it claim isn't so bad once you get used to it.
There are also some good endometriosis forums out there. I was part of one and have completely forgotten the name. But finding an entire site/forum that is dedicated to endo was really helpful for me...they know what they are talking about and they sympathize.
I know how hard it is to give it all up and trust that God knows what he's doing. There is a reason for all of this, and hopefully someday (soon) you'll be able to look at the experience and know what the reason was. And again, I don't downplay how hard that is to do--believe me, I know!
I will keep praying that you get your miracle, Ashley.
I'm sorry Ashley, I have these exact thoughts all the time. Just wanted to let you know you're not alone in this because sometimes thats the hardest part for me, feeling like God singled me out to be inferile. But then I remember that I'm not the only one and when he gives me my baby (what ever way he sees fit) it will be perfect.ReplyDelete

If you are a therapist or a coach who normally does not see actively addicted clients, but you have smokers in your practice, then you know you are seeing actively addicted patients. Contrary to popular opinion, they are indeed "under the influence". The insulating effects of nicotine addiction are great enough to affect your counseling efforts and, of course, your clients' on-going physical health.
Many major smoking cessation programs miss, poorly identify or do not emphasize addiction theory, emotions, and self worth. If any attention is given to them, it is secondary to the primary teachings of the program. These programs are mostly educational and task oriented. Their components serve a good purpose and are needed. However, smoking clients have difficulty learning them selves well. To break the addiction, they need to change the pleasure pathways of the brain, use the feelings of the heart, and answer the yearnings of the soul. This is serious business. The individual wanting to recover from this powerful addiction deserves a complete program.
Nicotine addiction is a family disease. Just as in other addictions, recovery requires that the love for a partner and for family must regain the number one spot in the addict's mind. Sound familiar? The addictions treatment field was slow to pick up on this in the 1970's. Now we know nicotine addiction dynamics are similar to other addictions and require family involvement for the benefit of the addict and for the benefit of each member of the family. A therapist once told me she knew she was "Second to Mom and Dad's cigarettes, no matter what happened...
Perhaps, do no more than physically mark the outside of the smokers medical record; list nicotine addiction on the problem list; code out the inside of the patients/clients chart with whatever DSM-IV designation(s) are appropriate:
305.90 Nicotine Dependence
292.9 Nicotine related disorders
292.0 Nicotine withdrawal
Issue a copy of "I Don't Smoke!" It can be used for private study by the patients/clients
Train staff on the concepts and tasks of recovery used in the book.
Integrate the concepts and tasks into treatment plans:
Reading assignments can be given out.
Checklists in the book are good for Group and Nicotine Anonymous discussions.
Use the "Dear John" letter and "The Funeral" as experiential group exercises. Smokers and non-smokers benefit by saying goodbye to their addictions.
Build appropriate parts of the aftercare plan from the book per the therapist's directions.
There are many additional ideas in the book
Or simply give a copy to the patient upon discharge and so note in their record. Or place the book in your bookstore. Whatever you do can add to what is presently being done for nicotine addiction in your facility.

The summer break is over and we're all back in school, and looking back at the past few months I realized I did jack all other than play video games and watch TV. Since I figure none of you want to hear about how I pwned that nub in TF2, I'll take about the latter instead. So here are my favourite characters from the shows I watched this summer and why I love them so.
Dr. Gaius Baltar/No. 6 from Battlestar Galactica (Season 1)
At the start of the season I thought No.6 was a psycho bitch and Baltar an apologetic scumbag, but as the series progressed these two (who I'm putting together because No. 6 can normally only be seen by Baltar and appears to live inside his head. It's kinda messed up) became increasingly fascinating. No. 6's religious sensibilities are juxtaposed with Baltar's scientific mind and together they struggle to understand their place in the universe. It's never certain if you can trust either of them, or how interested they are in saving the human race, but the interactions of this odd couple are intriguing, and oftentimes somehow hilarious.
Jayne Cobb from Firefly
On a ship full of lovable, roguish misfits, Jayne perhaps best exemplifies all three of those qualities. He's the closest anyone on the serenity comes to being a hardened criminal and in the end is mostly only looking out for himself, but he's too stupid to be a serious threat which makes him all the more endearing. At times he does redeem himself and demonstrate some loyalty, but I like him best when he's just being a dumb asshole. He's hilarious, he's none to bright, he tries to do the right thing in his own strange way, and he's got a big-ass gun called Vera. He's Jayne Cobb and I love him.
Dr. John Watson from Sherlock
The new BBC modern re-imagining of Sherlock Holmes is quite well done, but when it comes down to choosing a favourite character you really only have two options: Holmes or Watson. Though undoubtedly a fascinating, clever, and entertaining character, I have always found Sherlock to be a bit too much like a robot to form an emotional connection with, so I always lean towards his slower though more relatable companion. Holmes will always be Holmes, but Watson shows more capacity for change as he tries to move on with his life upon returning from the war, and finds some meaning and a purpose through his roommate. I also find that I tend to gravitate towards the voice of reason in any book/movie/TV show, and although Sherlock is supposed to be the smart one, I find that Watson tends to fill that role more often than not whenever Sherlock gets carried away with a case.
Tyrion Lannister from Game of Thrones
There are many great characters in George R.R. Martin's fantasy series such as Jon Snow or Arya Stark, and most all of them are well-rounded without falling too deeply into the categories of pure hero or evil villain, but Tyrion is without a doubt the funniest and most ambiguous of them all. Due to his dwarfism and ugliness, very few characters like or trust him and most think him a craven. Ironically he turns out to be one of the most noble and bravest characters on the show who tries to do the right thing even if it might put him in harms way, though will adopt an "ends justify the means policy" if he must and is not above manipulating people to serve his purposes. On top of his cleverness, he also has a very sharp tongue and many of the best lines in the first season can be attributed to him with many more to come in those to follow.
Harold Weir from Freaks and Geeks
This is another tough show to choose a favourite character from since they're all pretty cool despite being freaks and geeks, but I'm going to have to go with the paternal figure of Harold Weir played by Joe Flaherty. He's portrayed as your typical television dad, but due to the massive generational gap between him and his children, he comes off more as a buffoon than the wise, all-knowing father figure of Leave it to Beaver. It's pretty clear that he doesn't really get his kids and resorts to silly threats and ridiculous stories to keep them in line. That being said, he does his best to keep them happy and cares about his children, but he understands sporting goods better than he understands them. The end result is a funny and endearing character who is simultaneously a parody of and homage to the sitcom father of old.
The Zen Bear from Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law
It never says a word at any point in the series and has no relevance to any of the plots or characters, yet somehow The Zen Bear represents the heart of what makes Harvey Birdman what it is: sheer randomness and absurdity. It pops up at the oddest times, normally in the background, standing upright and always smiling. Nobody questions why there is a bipedal bear running around a major law firm. And why should they? It does no harm. It just exists and is content. Nothing about it makes any sense, but with The Zen Bear, it doesn't have to.
Annie Edison from Community
There are many reasons why Annie is my favourite character. One reason is that Alison Brie is hot. Another is that she plays Trudy on Mad Men, one my favourite shows ever. But mostly it's because she's hot. Also, she's a decent human being who cares the most about other's people's feelings and maintaining friendship. And as those who know me can tell you, friendship is very important to me. It doesn't hurt that she has a head on her shoulders and I think she knows a lot more about how to bend people to her will than she lets on. She's learning what it takes to make it in the world, and luckily she wants to use that knowledge to help people.
The Feminist Bookstore Ladies from Portlandia
It can be hard to pick a favourite character from a sketch comedy series since most only appear once or twice, but in Portlandia's case I had to go with the bizarre duo who run a feminist bookshop (though the mayor of Portland is a close second). Part of the reason why I like them probably has to do with the fact that my older sister is a feminist and I enjoy jokes made at her expense. And in this instance the joke is hilarious. The two ladies are incredibly pretentious, almost as much as they are incapable of being helpful to customers. Whenever somebody walks in, they spend most of the time standing behind the counter being useless while verbally accosting the patron which culminates in the woman played by Fred Armisen in drag making an absurd and disturbing threat. It's wonderful.
Bonus points to whoever has seen at least one episode from all of these shows.

This music is way too dramatic for this game. It sounds like end boss battle music. Which it probably is, just stolen from some other, possibly enjoyable game.
The twist to Illuminator, which otherwise would be the bare minimum of what could be considered a video game, is that the lights don't work. Killing one of the drones aimlessly wandering the platforms, whose only crime appears to be having enough phosphorus in their bodies to light the room for a few seconds, provides you a chance to locate the next drone to kill until they're all dead and you go to the next room.
What Illuminator really needs is a point. Someone to rescue, some object to find. Really any reason to be slaughtering so many defenseless people and giant butterflies would do. 'Cause, y'know, next time there's a power outage, my first response will be to find a flashlight, not start incinerating everyone.
