Thirty six years ago when Mema and I were newlyweds and living in an apartment, a very good friend moved to Germany and asked that I take on her Begonia plant. She entrusted it to myself because, and I quote, " you just know everything about plants", silly her! It lasted about a month and then just collapsed into a state of rot. I of course felt horrible and hoped its subject would never come up. All these many years later I happened into my favorite Nursery and there to my blinking wondering eyes I spotted the very same Begonia come back from the dead. I quickly picked it up and looked at the tag. YES!!! I screeched out loud scaring everyone around me, "Stitch Leafed Begonia", the very same plant that I sent to heaven thirty six years ago. I have been in that Nursery hundreds of times and asked if they could find one for me, but that never happened. I almost ran out of the place without paying for it in my excitement. It has doubled its size since coming home and I will make some back-up cuttings in the greenhouse just in case this one decides to leave this earth. I have had plenty of Begonia experience since that ill fated day, so hope my little Stitch Leafed Begonia will thrive and I will hopefully be able to give a plant back to my friend who still to this day knows nothing of the Begonias fate :o/
This blog is hopefully going to prompt me to keep better records of the goings on in my garden and home.

A Begonia has risen from the dead

I've never heard of that variety Doc, but I hope it does better for you this time round, isn't it always the way with plants that you really don't want to kill though, and the ones you don't really care for live on forever!ReplyDelete
Yes I have a few too many of those hanger-on-ers, usually the Christmas Poinsettia that some well intentioned body leaves as a gift. I have had to grit my teeth and look the other way as I drop it in the compost and quickly cover it with straw so I don't have to look at it.
Doc :o)
Very pretty leaves. Congratulations on the find! :)ReplyDelete
Thanks Linda,ReplyDelete

Zipe & Frone
(Zip, Froh-nay)
I cannot find too much about Zipe and Frone in the Book of Noga, but Tony Antelle has the following info:
"Zipe and Frone are conjoined twins. They are the ones who spread the Sands of Sleep throughout the land, and choose to withhold the Sands to those who are about to have an epiphany. Although they definately aren't, Zipe and Frone appear to be slightly Asian."
That sort of sums it up, I guess. Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough : )

Cardin's Drive-In: Timelessly on trend
History's hidden truths By Reneé Kesler "Don't Turn On the Lights: History's Unwritten Stories" is my feeble attempt to expose to a new generation the voices of our ancestors, those eyewitnesses Renee Kesler to a bitter past speaking uncensored truths. "They told us not to have no light on! And we didn't," stated Mary Etter, the widow of Joe Etter, a veteran soldier who fought in the Spanish American War of 1898, and was killed during the race riot in Knoxville. On Aug. 30, 1919, during a time when race riots were erupting all across the nation, the race relations climate in Knoxville took a bloody turn and the city became one of the "Red Summer" cities. Maurice Mays, a handsome black man born around 1887, was accused of murdering a white woman, and Knoxville erupted in violence. The National Guard was summoned to maintain law and order. During this time, soldiers armed with machine guns shot and killed Joe Etter as he tried to take a machine gun from one of the soldiers. In 1979, in her own words, Mary Etter described the nightmare she endured to Anne Wilson, program coordinator of an oral history project at the Beck Cultural Exchange Center. Here is an excerpt from that interview: Ms. Etter, your husband was killed in 1919 wasn't he? Yes, he was. How was he killed? Well, he was killed in the race riot what they had here. Can you tell us what the race riot was? Well, it was kind of over … well, they said a colored man killed a white woman and that's what started it out. Ms. Etter, what was the name of that black man? Let's see … Morris Mays, Morris Mays they say killed a white woman! When the interviewer asked Ms. Etter to tell how she found out about her husband's death, she talked in exquisite detail about the events of that night. She described how a man from the white-owned undertaker parlor located on Vine and Gay Street summoned her to come and identify the body. To page A-4

Burlington moves toward historic register By Betty Bean The wish list for the Burlington business district was imaginative at Knox Heritage's informational meeting last week – a craft store, a hardware store, a cheese shop, a movie theater/dance studio, a yogurt/ice cream shop, a bookstore that serves wine. District 6 city council member Daniel Brown, who represents Burlington, has attended all three meetings, which are part of the process toward getting Burlington nominated to the National Register of Historic Places. Brown, whose parents lived in Burlington,
has made redeveloping the district a prior- she has learned: Originally part of Park City, which was inity during his time on the council.

Building Gibbs Middle leaves big hole for Holston By Sandra Clark A parent said she was "happy when Gibbs got their middle school," and then she realized that rezoning could draw her Shannondale Elementary School student out of Gresham and into Gibbs. She and some 100 others came last Tuesday to Holston Middle for the fifth of six community meetings on middle school rezoning. Most parents wanted their kids to move through school with their friends. They wanted siblings to attend school together. Members of the NAACP asked that East Knox neighborhoods be kept intact, and they spoke against busing black kids across town for racial balance. Katie Lutton, principal at Holston Middle, pleaded with decision-makers to recognize school communities. "Holston has a deep history as a high school and a mid-

The mess started in a backroom when Mayor Tim Burchett and Superintendent Jim McIntyre signed a memorandum of understanding to build two middle schools – one at Gibbs and another at Hardin Valley – when Knox County Schools was already under capacity.
Seven schools will be affected by the rezoning. Interim Superintendent Buzz Thomas says a plan will be drawn this month and brought to the communities in March and April. He anticipates a vote by the school board in May. See a possible scenario for rezoning in "Last Words" on page A-5.

Katie Lutton Lutton said afterward that she wants her students to move together to high school. What high school? "Gibbs, I guess." Deborah Porter, an Austin-East graduate who now lives behind Gibbs High School, said city kids lack the cohesive school communities that you see in Powell, Karns, Halls, Farragut, Bearden, South Knox, Carter and now Gibbs – where elementary, middle and high schools bear the same name.

A new baby for a new year After being raised with a little sister who is nine years younger and being around nieces and nephews from six half-siblings, Melanie Mullins can say she has quite a bit of experience with babies. Still, the enormity of the situation was not lost on her. Mullins found out she was pregnant, and it came as a complete surprise. "We were not actively trying to start a family," she says. "We were both a little scared, but also excited." While the thought of having a baby was a little overwhelming, there was something that brought her peace. It was her faith in the medical staff at Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center. "I chose Fort Sanders Regional because I had been a patient there before and felt like I was really cared about while I was there," Mullins says. The birth of a first child is a monumental event in the life of a family, but Fort Sanders Regional delivers more than 2,000 babies each year, so first-time moms-to-be can set their minds at ease. Expectant parents find exceptional medical backup with one of the best equipped neonatal units in the area. Specialized OB surgical suites are designed for ultimate efficiency. If there are complications, it's comforting to know that East Tennessee Children's Hospital is just steps away, and the two hospitals are connected by a tunnel, with medical coverage and care available around the clock. Jan. 2, 2017, was the original due date, but Mullins went into labor on December 31, 2016. Like many other first-time moms, she wasn't sure if it was the real thing or a false alarm. "It was hard to get ready to leave the house, and I kept having to lie down," she says. "I finally realized that it was definitely 'go time,' so I phoned the doctor and told
her I was on my way." Mullins gave birth to the hospital's official New Year's Baby. Little Adalynn Irons made her grand entrance into the world at 1:45 a.m. on Jan. 1. Months of morning sickness had caused some concern about the health of the baby,

"The staff was healthy after a New Year's amazing, from the nurses to the delivery at Fort Sanders Regional anesthesiologist who administered my epidural." Mullins appreciated the quality of care and she also appreciated the compassion the nurses exhibited, making sure she was well cared for. That included little gestures of thoughtfulness that aren't part of a nurse's usual job description. "On my last evening in the hospital, I was hungry at about 4 a.m., and asked the nurse where the closest vending machine was," Mullins recalls. "She brought me a sandwich, fruit, peanut butter and crackers, and a Sprite. "It was just the sweetest thing," Mullins says. "I just want to hug them all." Mullins says it's "pretty neat" to be the mother of the New Year's Baby. "The staff made me feel special, and I am glad I will have such a special story to tell my daughter when she is older." Mother and baby are both doing well, although Mullins admits they're both very tired. The new mom says her biggest challenge is trying not to worry, a common concern for every caring mom. "I just want to be the best mom possible," Mullins says. Mullins is emphatic in recommending Fort Sanders Regional for expectbut Adalyn was a ant mothers.

A special partnership Because of a special partnership with East Tennessee Children's Hospital (ETCH), there is no safer place for a baby's beginning than Fort Sanders Regional. The two facilities have an open door policy, so there's nothing to slow down the effort to provide immediate, expert care to newborns who need it. When a baby who needs specialized care is born at Fort Sanders Regional, a team from Children's quickly assembles and moves through the tunnel connecting the two hospitals. Babies are immediately assessed by pediatric specialists and if necessary, head back to a brand new neonatal intensive care unit at ETCH. While medical staff at Fort Sanders work to stabilize new moms, families are able to visit newborns without traveling too far from the delivery room. The close proximity not only provides convenience to patients and families, but provides the assurance that every neonatal service needed is available right next door.
At Fort Sanders Regional, we deliver! For more information about the outstanding physicians that deliver at Fort Sanders Regional, please call (865) 673-FORT (3678) or visit www. fsregional.com.

Drocella Mugorewera is a grateful American These days we're hearing a lot of talk about refugees. East Knoxville resident Drocella Mugorewera knows something about that topic. The executive director of Bridge Refugee Services, located at St. Luke's United Methodist Church, she fled her native Rwanda in 2008 and arrived in Knoxville in 2009. Through Bridge, she was able to find a connection to her church and employment as a production sales associate with Goodwill Industries. Before that, she had been head of Rwanda's Ministry of Natural Resources: Land, Forests, Environment and Mining. Because of previous genocidal campaigns and attempts to suppress them, which only resulted in more violence, Mugorewera had

What do you choose? Death or life?" Leaving her husband, two children and three nieces behind, she fled to Uganda, then Kenya, where she began the process of proving her refugee status. She was investigated, fingerprinted and interviewed. After arriving in America, she underwent a similar

As of this May, all will have graduated from college, including husband Jen, who earned an accounting degree and now
works as a CPA. "I have an accountant, a nurse, a flight attendant, an MBA and a human resources manager," says Mugorewera, clearly proud of her kids. "To see them all graduate from college is one of my dreams."
The family has been Habitat for Humanity homeowners for the last three years. Mugorewera enjoys the parks and lakes of East Tennessee. "The environment is in my bones," she says. "When I fled, I lost a country, I lost a family, I lost my belongings," she says. "I lost everything. It's just starting from scratch when you come here. Finding peace, freedom, friends, support. This is a country of opportunities. I hope I can restore what I lost, but also go beyond." She wants to be a successful businesswoman and to continue to reach out to people in need. "I want to touch many people's lives, spiritually, socially and economically. I want to be a beacon of hope. "I'm very proud and thankful to the government
of America. One of my duties is to educate the community about how people get here and what they can do. Some people don't understand that these are new Americans coming; they are our neighbors, friends of our children. We have to work together to see how they can integrate because they bring cultural and economic values to our nation. America is built on an immigrant background and we are very thankful for people who donate time, cash, talents, love and kindness to make these people feel at home. Many of them have been in horrific, terrible environments – wars, violence, persecution. It means a lot for them to find a strong, supportive, welcoming community. "I hope that culture of welcoming and hospitality will remain forever."
Cardin's Drive In A disabled World War II veteran, W.H. "C" Cardin returned from the war and worked as a commercial fisherman. According to his daughter, Wilma Cardin, the current owner of Cardin's, the idea for opening a restaurant came to C after he caught a particularly large mess of catfish. "He told my mother, Pauline, 'We should open a little restaurant next door and offer only catfish and french fries and hushpuppies.'" Pauline took the bait, so to speak, and together in 1958 they began to build the red brick building that comprises the original Cardin's structure. During construction, a restaurant supply sales rep stopped by and told C and Pauline, "I have an ice cream machine for sale." Thus handmade milkshakes, old-fashioned dip cones and decadent banana splits were added to the menu. Wilma remembers, "Mom and Dad never sold just catfish and

The business district started growing in the early '20s, aided by the Burlington Business League. A Gulf service station opened on the corner of McCalla and Fern Street in 1927, followed by McCarty Mortuary in 1928. A construction boom led to a wide variety of businesses popping up in the years that followed. In 1937, the Burlington fire hall opened, cutting insurance rates. A civic club and a merchants association were touting the district as Knoxville's fastest growing community by the late '40s.
The beginning of the decline came in the late '50s, with the new bypass at the east end of Magnolia, which Bill McCarty said put his funeral home on a back street, forcing him to buy an expensive sign to remind people where he was. The supermarket Kroger built on the east end of Burlington in 1962 made it difficult for the neighborhood's mom and pop markets to survive, and the core of Burlington was slowly but steadily hollowed out over the decades that followed. Kim Trent, Knox Heritage's executive director,
reported that Cook is on schedule to complete a draft of the application in time for it to be presented at the May meeting of the Tennessee Historical Commission, a 24-member board that will decide whether to recommend it to the National Register of Historic Places. Once approved, owners of historic properties will be eligible for historic tax credits.

From page A-1 hushpuppies! By the time the restaurant opened in 1959, they offered a complete short-order lunch and dinner menu, including hamburgers, hot dogs, grilled cheese sandwiches, chuckwagon sandwiches, fries and onion rings, and, of course, catfish dinners!" Soon thereafter, Pauline's cathead biscuits and hearty sausage gravy launched a breakfast menu, and today Cardin's menu includes everything from baconand-eggs to hot tamales. "The tamales are handmade by one of our best employees," notes Wilma. "She's been with us for decades and makes the tamales every day fresh from scratch." Reciprocating such employee loyalty, Wilma says, "a couple of years ago, that employee got very sick and took several months to recover. During her convalescence, we stopped offering tamales; hers are the best, and we decided it was better – and more respectful – to wait for her
to recover than to try and find an alternative source." Tradition and loyalty are cornerstones of Cardin's philosophy. "We've expanded the building three times," Wilma says, "but never destroyed the original part. Many of our current employees are the children or grandchildren of our original employees. And we use local sources whenever possible, including Grainger County tomatoes in season." Cardin's Drive-In offers covered outdoor seating, or you can dine in your car. One of the Cardin's curb servers will cheerily deliver your food directly to you. "I like making people happy, and serving good food at a good price," says Wilma. Located at 8529 Asheville Highway, Cardin's is a quick 15-minute drive from downtown Knoxville. Hours: Sunday through Thursday, 7 a.m. to 11 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 7 a.m. to midnight.

Presidential pets By Kip Oswald Truly, sometimes my favorite family member is my dog, Sachi. He is always happy to see me, listens to all my problems and never tells any of my secrets. He is reKip ally the best friend a guy can have! This made me think about our new president's son, who is close to my age and surely going to need a friend in the White House when he gets there. It seems he won't be moving to the White House until he finishes the school year at his current school in New York City. So there is still time for him to persuade his dad to get a pet. However, right now he doesn't have any kind of pet, so they would be one of the few president's families not to have one. This, of course, got me looking into all the past "first pets." In fact, there have been over 400 animals kept in the president's house as first pets. Our country's first pets have made history that I will retell over the next several weeks.

(Malachi 3: 2-3 NRSV)

February, I discovered while researching material for this column, comes from the Latin "to purify." The early Romans held religious rites to purify themselves for festivals that would be held at the start of the New Year. Their New Year began in March. Around 690 BC, Numa Pompilius turned a period of celebration at the end of the year into a month of its own, named after the festival Februa. (It sounds to me sort of like Lent – a time of fasting and purification before an important holy day!) So what should we do to purify ourselves? Well, we are a month away from Ash Wednesday, so we have some time to consider the matter. But it might behoove us to do some warmup exercises. Maybe we should spend time reading Scripture.

Take a look at some lesser visited books (Malachi, maybe, or Habakkuk?); there is good stuff there! Read the Beatitudes (Matthew 5: 3-11) and try to live up to them! Remember, we should purify ourselves before trying to lead others to a closer walk with God. Women particularly will enjoy the Book of Ruth, a love story for the ages. Men will profit from reading the Letter of James in the New Testament, a social gospel, to be sure, and one that calls on the men of the church family to help the pastor care for the flock.

last words
Winter workouts, then and now Winter workouts are under way at Tennessee – famous new strength and conditioning coach, new goals, positive attitudes, favorable conditions. Motivation is firmly in place. Players need only review the Vandy video to conclude the need for improvement. The Vols have great facilities. Official description is state of the art. Modern machines are or were all around. Ambiance is the stuff of champions. Refreshments are available. The team will strive to get stronger and quicker. One plan will not fit all. Individuals, as Butch likes to say, will have individual programs designed to meet their needs. Rock Gullickson has a book of plans. He may have a scientific formula for reducing injuries. This is critical. The winter aspect of college football is completely different from the good old days. Robert R. Neyland suggested that players not get fat in the off-season, what there was of it. His idea of the lull between storms was a couple of weeks of fishing in Florida. Early spring practice was vigorous. Under the guidance of Bowden Wyatt, football
Marvin West
players were encouraged to stay in shape. They could lift weights or participate in racquetball or handball. They could play intramural basketball or sign up for a volunteer, noncredit physical education class. Real live winter workouts arrived with young coach Doug Dickey. He had learned the value as an assistant coach at Arkansas. He was surprised that UT had nothing similar. Dickey told the story of sending forth a search committee to find a place for workouts. It didn't find much. There was running room at Dean Planters Tobacco Warehouse. Weather permitting, there were open spaces at the agriculture campus. The report mentioned the possibility of the northwest corner of Neyland Stadium, under Section X. It was described as unsuitable, dirty, drab and dreary, space once used for storage. Dickey inspected it. He said the room looked like
something left over from the Civil War, except dusty cobwebs appeared older. The coach could have made it better. He made it worse. He installed old mats on the floor and hung a heavy rope from on high. Those who thought they wanted to be on his football team were going to do agility drills, wrestle, fight and scratch as if their life depended on it and then climb that blasted rope, hand over hand, until they bumped their head on the concrete ceiling. Center Bob Johnson remembers a one-on-one war, Vols on opposite sides of the mat, no rules, do anything you want to get to the other side. Tempo was frantic for other drills, run here, jump there! Down on the mat, up on your feet, seat roll right, jump up again, forward tumble. Everywhere a player looked or landed, there was another assistant coach yelling for more speed and greater effort. Dickey said some players were overcome by the setting and spirited exercises and lost their lunch. He admitted the smell was terrible. One of his most dramatic terms described the winter workout scene: "A stinking mess."
Joe Graham, sophomore guard, landed right in the middle of it. There wasn't room under Section X for all players. There were groups with different times to report. Joe was in the third group. "We arrived to the sound and smell of some of the guys throwing up. In the middle of the winter, the room seemed nearly steamy. Everybody was sweating. I don't remember how long we worked but it seemed forever." Dewey Warren was there. The scene matched his imagination of Marine boot camp, only worse. "Under Section X was like a dungeon, dark and smelly, the worst place I've ever been." Bert Ackermann recalls that complaints to Coach Dickey went unheeded. Robbie Franklin said there were more losses than lunches. "We lost several teammates that first winter." Ackermann said it was a special learning experience. "It was the foundation for the great comeback of Tennessee football under Doug Dickey." Now would be a good time for a great comeback under Butch Jones. Marvin West invites reader reaction.

Knox to prosecute aggravated animal cruelty A Corryton man has been charged with killing two neighborhood dogs on Thanksgiving morning and faces two counts of aggravated cruelty to animals. Billy C. Mounger Jr. is scheduled for a preliminary hearing Feb. 23 in Criminal Sessions Billy C. Court. UnMounger Jr. like a "simple" animal cruelty case, which is a misdemeanor, aggravated cruelty is a Class E felony, punishable by one to six years in prison and a fine of up to $3,000. "We don't see a lot of these cases," said Sean McDermott, public information officer with the Knox County District Attorney General's office. "We only had one case brought last
Betty Bean year in criminal court." That's because law defines aggravated cruelty as an act committed "in a depraved and sadistic manner," which creates a high threshold for the prosecution to prove. The case brought last year is scheduled for trial in March. Jethro and JuJu belonged to Frances Thompson and her husband, Eric Schafferman. Thompson sounded the alert on her Facebook page Thanksgiving Day after the dogs didn't return from their morning run. "Jethro (blond) and Juju (black) are missing from the Wood Road area in Gibbs/Corryton. Left home
Thanksgiving morning without breakfast. Both are friendly and have collars with names and our phone number. Please call or message me if you have seen them. Please share." The warrant says that Mounger shot the dogs "with aggravated cruelty and no justifiable purpose," dragged their bodies out of the woods, loaded them into his pickup truck and drove to Irwin Road and dumped them. When found, their collars had been removed. Mounger also was charged with violating a state law requiring "big game" hunters to wear daylight fluorescent orange. Jethro, whom Thompson describes as a big, goofy Lab/boxer mix, had lived with the family for a year. Juju, who was black with a notch bitten out of one of her big pointy ears, was adopted from a friend who
could no longer give her the attention she needed. There were two other dogs in the household, as well. "This broke our hearts," Thompson said. "It broke our hearts. "Eric and I both just sort of held each other and cried for a long time. He goes into a shell and gets real quiet. I cried every night. Jethro's probably the most joybringing dog we ever had." McDermott said his office sees three or four misdemeanor cases of animal cruelty per week in Sessions Court. Most of the cases involve dogs, followed closely by horses. Cats come in third, and are typically victims of hoarding situations. Under a state law that went into effect last year, the names of those convicted of aggravated animal abuse will be recorded on a registry, and will remain there for two years.
Davenport shreds diversity Those who had worried that the first female chancellor at UTK, Beverly Davenport, would be serious about diversity can rest easy based on her appointments to the first significant committee she named – the search committee for the new athletic director Davenport to replace Dave Hart. She shredded diversity with her six appointments. The six include only one woman and no AfricanAmericans, but two male trustees and the brother of a third trustee who is the chair of the UT board. Two are neighbors who live three houses apart on Lyons View Pike in West Knoxville on either side of the neglected historic UT-owned Williams House. The woman is Donna Thomas, who works for Hart and will help choose the person she will be working for. Stunning that no African-American serves on this search effort given that a large number of the players for basketball and football are AfricanAmerican. Women make up almost half of the total UT athletic program, not to mention the Title IX issues UT has paid millions to go away, but only one of the six is female and she has an acute conflict of interest. The best-known member is obviously Peyton Manning. This past weekend he made news by speaking to the GOP Congressional meeting in Philadelphia, along with President Donald Trump. There are several well-known UT female athletes such as Candace Parker, Chamique Holdsclaw, Semeka Randall and Tamika Catchings who maintain ties to UTK and could serve along with Manning. The truth is, Davenport's committee includes members of great ability and significant achievements.
Victor Ashe
They contribute to our civic society in many ways. But they have been placed in an unfortunate situation that could be resolved easily by expanding the committee. It does not look good when half of a committee are trustees or related to a trustee. Two of these members helped recruit Derek Dooley to UT as football coach. We all know how well that worked out. Mistakes can be made, even by wellknown, respected people. What is also remarkable and exceptionally inconsistent about this committee is the obvious desire for the UT board of trustees to own it. On paper and in theory the campus athletic director reports to Chancellor Davenport. The board of trustees just approved her hiring as chancellor. No way she will turn down or even question the finalist this committee picks given who is on it. New trustees are always told that they should not micromanage the university, just as the Legislature is told the same. However, here Davenport has basically turned over the hiring of the new AD to the people who run the board. Will she do the same when she names the search committee for a new provost? So why did Davenport do this? It is hard to come up with an answer on this. However, it is not too late to expand the search committee to give proper representation to all. Hopefully, UT will move to remedy this. ■■ Bob Clement, former U.S. representative and TVA director, is out with a book on his life titled "Presidents, Kings and Convicts." It starts with growing up in the Governor's Residence. Not clear whether Clement will do a book signing here in Knoxville.

Erectile Dysfunction and ALT-711
Some of you guys may remember me mentioning ALT-711 when looking at AGE's (Advanced Glycation Endproducts) which is a condition that occurs in aging (particulartly in diabetes) where crosslinking occur between a sugar and a protein. Effects are thickening and stiffening of arteries, valves, veins etc. This is one of the main reasons people with diabetes suffer ED, but it happens in non diabetics too (though usually in later life). It seems Alteon has recognised this and began trials in January:
(Evaluation of AlagebriuM in Erectile Dysfunction in Diabetic Males on PDE5 Inhibitors)
In January 2005, we initiated a Phase 2 trial of alagebrium in erectile dysfunction (ED). EMERALD will assess the ability of alagebrium to restore erectile function in diabetic patients with moderate to severe ED who achieve limited benefit from current treatment with PDE5 inhibitors, the first class of orally-active compounds approved for the treatment of ED. In a pre-clinical rat model of diabetes, alagebrium has demonstrated an ability to restore erectile function —through what appears to be a unique mechanism of action – and thus may offer significant potential as an adjunctive treatment for diabetic erectile dysfunction.
EMERALD is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2 pilot study being conducted under the direction of Wayne J.G. Hellstrom, M.D., Professor of Urology at Tulane University School of Medicine and an author of many of the seminal studies in ED. Approximately 40 male diabetic patients age 18 to 70 will be enrolled and randomized to receive oral doses of either alagebrium (200 mg once daily) or placebo tablets for a 16-week period in conjunction with their PDE5 inhibitor therapy. The primary endpoint of the trial will be based on the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) questionnaire. Secondary endpoints of efficacy will be self-reported improvement in erections (according to a Global Assessment Question) and measurements of change from baseline in penile blood flow.

Know Your alternatives for Home Equity Line of Credit
A home fairness line of credit is one of the best solutions for redesigning, consolidating debts, and other financial needs. A Home equity line of credit is among the most popular among the accessible line of credits. With all the home as collateral, you will have a credit line that solves your monetary needs.
A home equity line of credit is available in various interest rates and repayment plans. There are people who offer large upfront payments but the end payments are lower. Some offer reduced upfront but the end payments are huge. Other offers do not have high upfront as well as end payments yet take on the high the particular monthly rates. The actual borrower must evaluate the offers first prior to attempting to engage in a specific offer.
Compare the particular offers in order to find the scheme that matches greatest your paying capacity. And since your home is the particular collateral, be smart and study the entire offer you before signing up. It will likely be helpful to ask about several aspects such as bare minimum and maximum drawback requirements, length of loan and the way funds must be accessed. Some funds are used through checks although some are through credit cards.
Interest rates are also important to look into. Home fairness line of credit interest rates differ depending on who is offering it. There are loan providers that offer discounts on initial interest rates. The borrower can also work out the closing cost. There are lenders that want annual membership and also participation fees with regard to both active and inactive accounts. There are those that collect transaction or processing costs. This is the reason why it is a must to compare the available provides. The lesser the fees the lenders acquire, the better for the customer. The more options you could see for a home equity line of credit, the better is the chance of getting into a good offer.

Ever wonder what your friendly, neighborhood barista does on her day off? She cuts card stock!
This afternoon I spent about 4 hours measuring, cutting, counting, recounting, and bagging up:
67 8.5" x 11" sheets of card stock
6 12" x 12" sheets of designer paper
360" of ribbon
54 snowflakes
18 brads
90 envelopes
That's enough stuff to make 90 cards for an upcoming Christmas Stamp-A-Stack for a group of 6 women at an office in Buckhead. I'm really excited about this opportunity to connect with these women after hours at their place of business. Nobody has to clean their house, or even go anywhere. Everything's coming to them--we're even bringing in dinner! They're going to have a little more margin in their holiday season, since, for $35, they'll go home with 15 unlike anyone else's Christmas cards in 3 hours' time!
There's still time for me to do this for YOUR group of friends! Contact me and we'll get a date on the calendar, or come with your group of friends to my November SAS on Sat., Nov. 15, from 10a-1p. Leave me a comment to indicate your interest!

When I left Gerlach yesterday morning, I drove for 20 minutes before passing a single vehicle. Kind of scary. No coyotes or antelope either, but driving by Pyramid Lake, I saw the most amazing flock of pelicans swirling in the sky. The way the sun glinted off their wings, they looked like silver.
What I ate yesterday: 2 pcs. banana chocolate chip cake.
1 granola bar
3 chicken fingers with barbecue sauce
1 small bag peanuts
1 package cheese crackers
2 glasses orange juice
1 glass cranberry juice
4 glasses water
Hey, is this a diet or what? Yech.
En route I made a tactical mistake and carried a not-too-large duffle bag without wheels. Way too heavy. Decided to check it on the way home, but since I had ditched 4 books and 2 chocolate bars and other assorted stuff, it seemed lighter. Well, it seemed lighter until the flight from Reno was at the far end of the terminal. I knew I had a hell of a hike in Last Vegas from one terminal to another. Bad decision.
And yet, there was some meatball shuttle from terminal B to C which did not drive as the crow flies and I guess we never "technicallY' left the secured area, so that worked out all right and then the plane landed in Providence at the fartherest gate, but I sucked it up and thought, "let's burn a few calories," not that I had actually ingested that many.
So, I was awfully glad not to have to wait for luggage. Sat next to a nice old couple who liked McCain but not Caribou Barbie. I said a few good words for Obama, but they weren't buying it. Oh well.

2 Cor. 12:9
"My grace is enough; it's all you need.
My strength comes into its own in your weakness"
To be very honest, when I relapsed 4 months ago I was mad as spit. I was mad at myself and yes, I guess even God. I had just had the best year of my life as far as living life and loving and enjoying my family and people. And as far as God? Well He allowed it all didn't He? He is in control.
I was determined I would grow throw this set back. I would come out of this stronger than when I entered into it. I wasn't sure how but thoughts ran through my head. I can't drive, be on the computer or phone, watch television, which was no loss to me but the other things were. I could not read, go to church. Do bible studies. It seemed to me everything I enjoyed doing I couldn't do and I was mad about it. More determined than ever I planned my strategy. I will be with my family more. I wrote hard copy letters to pastors, friends and my family. I would get some hobbies, learn to be more creative. This disease was not going to get the best of me. I would not give up.
What I didn't realize at the time God had his own agenda. One of the things He was going to teach me was how to pray. In my younger years I had a set devotional time, prayer times, study time. Since then I gave all that up. I thought it to be restrictive and legalistic. I began to meditate on scripture, pray continually daily throughout my day. It was like in my relationship with my husband saying I will be with you during the day but why should we ever go out. So I decided I would have my list of people to pray for. My prayer life and passion for others grew. I began to have times of thanksgiving. Even when I didn't feel thankful I would begin to thank Him for anything and everything, my breath, my food, the sun and moon and my heart would begin to be thankful. So I was ok with this.
But then...
The voices began to dance in my head again. How could it be that I would relapse again. I thought I was over it again! I admitted Lord I don't know how to pray. I need your Spirit to teach me. The Lords prayer came to my mind. I got down on my knees by my sofa and tears began to stream down my face and I began to pray that prayer this way.
Dear Abba, Daddy, Father,
I pray to the Father in heaven and in my heart. Not the psychotic voices of god in my head, but to the One true God.'
I honor you Lord, I lift your name on high. I worship you for who you are. I began to think.
May everything come under you Headship.
I trust you Lord, and I took a deep breath, even if you allow my sickness again and again, I trust you. Even if the voices never leave for good you will never leave me. By this time I was sobbing.
As I plan this day Lord, I hold it lightly. Bring who and what you will into my life.
Forgive me Lord. Fight my battles. I just can't fight any more. I give myself to you Lord.
I want your glory in my life. I need you. I need your strength and power to live this life. I am tired and I just can't make things work anymore.
Where did this heart of surrender come from. It was the very heart of Jesus. God had so planned before time, in His mercy that I would struggle with this dreadful disease. I am going to do all I can to be well but I just have to give it all, myself, my life to Him. I can't make it work or stop. I never could.
I am by nature a very self reliant, very strong woman. God, in His mercy, is teaching how to be weak and dependent on Him. We are told over and over He is our strength. This illness is like Pauls thorn in the flesh. It is something God has given me to humble me. Dare I keep fighting it or do I say with Paul...yes your grace is sufficient for me? Your power is made perfect in my weakness. Not my will but thy will be done.
Paul continued in reply to God's promise, His gift of mercy:
Once I heard that, I was glad to let it happen. I quit focusing on the handicap and began appreciating the gift. It was a case of Christ's strength moving in on my weakness. Now I take limitations in stride, and will good cheer, these limitations that cut me down to size-abuse, accidents, opposition, bad breaks. I just let Christ take over! And so the weaker I get, the stronger I become.

"What is salt made of?"
The best conversations start out this unassuming. Eleven had some deep questions and salt was the best place to start.
I thought for a moment, trying to conjure up fragments of information from my biological science class. "Salt is a crystal made from minerals. If you looked at it under a microscope, it would look like uncut diamonds."
Not Yet Satisfied asked, "Well, who was the first person to make things like salt?"
"Are you asking about the first of everything?" I'm a closet mind reader.
She nodded.
"Well," began my genius bequeathment of eternal knowledge, "when God made the very first person…"
"Wait, start with who made God."
"Oh, there is no start to that. He's always been." This is one of many slow motion moments where I may sound like a lunatic to the one I've taught to be outspoken. And I'm fully aware I built my own gallows by urging my children to think for themselves and question everything until it becomes nonsense or truth.
"No," says my obedient questioner. "Who made him up?"
"Nobody made Him up." I pause so that I can read her face. "He made us up."
Her face tells me that I need to explain. "God has always been…" Churchy-habit forced me to add, " and He always will be."
She didn't get it.
"You know how outer space doesn't have an end? Like, you'll never be stopped if you travel in one direction? There is no end to the space?" I know I'm speaking perspective-relative gibberish while failing to mention the numerous pitfalls of space travel, but I'm unrehearsed and this is where my brain went.
"Exactly." I went with the 'comfort in the unknown' approach because that's the point. "There are a ton of things we can't swell our brains to fit. But, we are accustomed to shrinking everything down to a manageable size. We need to know where we are in relation to where we live. We need to know where in the town our house is located. Where in the state our town is located. Where in the country our state is located. Where in the world our country is located and people usually stop there. But we have a location in a galaxy and a galactic location in space that is entirely unexplored and completely unknown. It's called space because it takes up room, but is mostly undefined."
I watched it dawn … "There are tons of things we can't shrink to fit our understanding. God is one of them. He has always been."
The satisfied question gives birth to a dissatisfied question. "Why did he make us?"
"He made us so that He would have something to love that would love Him back." I wonder if it's too simple. "You were made on purpose and for a purpose. You'll spend your life learning how to love, how to discover, how to survive, how to create, and somewhere in there you'll feel a deep calling to Something More and you'll start being able to hear God. You were made to be in a relationship with Him and with each other.
"The problem is, sometimes our relationships with each other can get in the way of our relationship with Him. Sometimes our relationships with ourselves can get in the way of our relationship with Him."
"Well, while we're busy being people and figuring things out, we make choices. We make choices all the time that tangle us up in guilt and regret. God gave people a way to keep the guilt at bay and a way to clear the slate periodically."
She's listening.
"You know the story of Adam and Eve?" I assume she's heard it in church, but she shakes her head. "Really?" I stonewalled my own torrent of disappointment with standardized religion because I wasn't in the mood for the soapbox.
I'm not a spoon feeder or an opportunist. I'm not trying to sell religion or peddle salvation. God doesn't forget, so I can wait until she starts to hear Him. Then I can grab her hand at the "knowing" that dawns while I tell her it's Him.
"God made Adam and Eve, the very first people, and they spent their time the way they were designed to spend it. They created, they loved each other, and they loved God.
"One day they were given a choice. They could know the difference between right and wrong, good and evil, or they could stay the way they were. They knew that knowing took disobeying, but they didn't know the price of disobedience. They thought, with everything inside of them, that they could be trusted with 'right and wrong'."
I wanted her to get this part, so I repeated it. "They thought that if they knew the difference between right and wrong, they would always choose right."
"Isn't it interesting that their faith in their ability to choose the right thing was carried in the bag of disobedience?"
"What?" She laughed at me because she knows that I speak in metaphors.
"They really wanted a chance to make their own choices about good and evil, but they had to choose the wrong answer to get that ability."
She's getting it.
"That's called 'irony'." I raised by eyebrows up and down, silent-movie-style, when I said 'irony'.
"The problem is, people can know right from wrong, but still choose wrong." I wrapped my arms around my stomach for dramatic flair. "That's the most gut wrenching part of being a human being: knowing right from wrong and being completely unable to get it right every time.
"So, God created these rules for people to follow that would help them avoid that horrible feeling. Remember, all He wants is for us to have a relationship with Him?" She nodded. "So, He made a way for us to not be blocked by that feeling.
"Here's the thing, though. Breaking the rules required a death and even the death had strict rules about it. People started paying more attention to the rules, …getting them right, and forgot about having a relationship with God. They felt good about themselves for being decent rule followers, but knew nothing about their Creator or why those rules were put there in the first place.
"Then, God sent Jesus to satisfy the rules, the "Law", that He made. Jesus was the only one who could pay the price of death that would work for everyone. He sacrificed Himself because He wanted us to not have to worry about always choosing the right answer. He knew we couldn't and wanted to save us from always feeling like that. Jesus made it to where there was nothing in between us and God."
That should be the end of the story. Technically it is. But, she's my baby girl and she just returned from a summer visit to see family that has a bad habit of being overly critical with an occasional religious bend. She was feeling like a failure. I needed her to know why people get weird and unnatural when they talk about God and why they uphold various versions of the openly disputed and infuriatingly inconsistent rules. When you're a child at the mercy of people trying to prove their religious worth, it can feel like walls crushing in around you and can give you church-minted anxiety.
"The thing that kills me is when people use their behavior to refuse the validity of what Jesus did. They think that following a set of rules is proof of their love for God, but they're still focusing on the rules. It would be like if you had the best behavior, but never hugged me. Or if you were so formal with me that I never got to see how goofy you can be. I would literally want you to misbehave so that I could see something real. It's like the difference between a perfect robot and a human. The flaws are how you can tell real from fake.
"It's like that with God. He loves you exactly the way you are, not matter what. He used Jesus to scoot everything out of the way so that nothing would ever keep you from Him ever again."
I get intense when I talk about this stuff. It's the seat of my passion and I can't help it.
"I get it." She's smiling and I know she's not just trying to shut me up.
"Really? You mean you can feel it inside you?" That's the best way I can explain it. You feel something come alive inside you and you know that it's right.
"Yes!" I think she's surprised that I know what she's feeling.
"That's what happens when you hear the Truth." I'm beaming because I'm watching Him talk to her right in front of me. This is the dawning of the knowing and I'm grabbing her hand. She's beaming because she can hear Him.
After a moment of us grinning at what just happened, she ask, "Why don't they talk like this at church?"
Ugh. "What did you learn at church?"
"Nothing." And like a dagger with a twist, "We just play games."
I don't understand the lack of passion or the preoccupation with making church a "super-fun" agenda of instilling a balance of guilt and hidden-conditioned acceptance. We have to take on the responsibility of teaching our kids how to recognize the voice of the Spirit in their everyday lives. It's not a Sunday thing. That's primarily a social outlet to find like-minded people. If you don't have your own relationship with the Truth, then how do you know when you're being entertained with a lie?

Don't get it...I log out and log back in and all notes are gone...seems to be very broken. Notes from other devices never even showed up.
I loved the idea and tried for a few days. For some reason I suddenly lost all of my notes that I saved. It happened when I turned my computer one day, they were gone... which is a little bit of an inconvenience.
I didn't deleted the cookies, installed any extensions similar or anything at all. It worked for the first two or three days and then this happened. Uninstalled now.

So last night after nearly 2 hours of fussiness, I decided to put Wil's fabulous Jumperoo together for him. I realize he's not even two months old and needs to grow another 6 inches before his little feet can touch the ground to jump, but I was a little desparate. So, I huffed and puffed, struggled and thought very hard (Adam was working late) and finally got it put together. I had to stuff blankets around the little squirt just to keep him sat up! Unfortunately, Wil was not at all thrilled... even with me ooing and cooing about it! It was time for bed, that's for sure! :)
This morning, after a yummy bottle and some happy time with Mommy, we decided to give our new toy another try. Of course Wil is not old enough to entertain himself here, so Gravel and I sat next to him, sang with the music and fun lights, and kept him bouncing! Much to our surprise... Wil LOVED it!
Aaah, that's much better Cutie! What a difference a day makes!

Lucknow: A day after taking oath as the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister, Yogi Adityanath on Monday relieved all non-government advisers, chairmen, deputy chairmen and members in corporations, committees, and departments of their charges with effect from Tuesday.
Adityanath had on Monday ordered to "terminate the services of all the non-government advisers, chairmen, deputy chairmen, members in corporations, different committees and department and relieve them", official sources said.
An order was thus issued by state Chief Secretary Rahul Bhatnagar, which read: "All principal secretaries, secretaries, and officials have been asked to comply with the directives."
The previous government, led by Samajwadi Party, had appointed more than 80 such advisers, chairmen/vice chairmen and members, who included party workers and eminent personalities of their fields, in government department/ corporations.
They were enjoying the status of state minister with all the benefits meant for the state minister.
After embarrassing defeat of the Samajwadi Party in the Assembly Elections, many such advisers, including former chief secretary Alok Ranjan, who was adviser to CM, chairman of Urdu Academy, Nawaz Deobani, chairman of Bhasha, Gopal Das Neeraj, chairman of Hindi Sansthan, Uday Pratap Yadav and 20 others had put down their papers. But there were more than 60 others, who were continuing on their posts and enjoying the benefits.
The state government has not yet taken any decision on Chairmen of different commissions including state minority commission, state backward commission, state women commission and others.

POINTS mean more than goals to modest matchwinner Chris Holroyd who was instrumental in Wrexham's latest win.
Leading scorer Holroyd took his tally for the season to six goals with a brace in Saturday's 2-0 victory over Ebbsfleet United at The Racecourse.
It was the second home game in a row that Holroyd scored two goals – he also stuck twice in the 2-2 draw with Leyton Orient – and the result moved Wrexham up to second place, just one point behind National League leaders Dover Athletic.
And it was maintaining the promotion challenge with three points that mattered more to Holroyd, who joined Wrexham from Macclesfield Town in the summer, than being the goal hero.
"It was nice to score but the most important thing was to win," said Holroyd.
"I thought we controlled the game well which we haven't really done some home games so that was pleasing.
"And we got the second goal which made it a bit less tense for us at the end.
"I have always said it is a team game, whether it is me scoring or anyone else. Three points is more important to me."
Holroyd opened the scoring in the 28th minute when he converted Kevin Roberts' cross and the striker was adamant his shot crossed the line as goalkeeper Nathan Ashmore's protests fell on deaf ears.
"They are always going to say that but it was over the line," said Holroyd.
"It fell to me nicely in the box and I just lost my footing. The goalkeeper has gone the wrong way, it has gone into the ground and luckily it has gone over the line."
Wrexham made sure of the victory in the second half after Holroyd converted a penalty – the Reds' first spot-kick of the season – when he was brought down in the area by Chris Bush.
Again, there was controversy surrounding referee Peter Gibbons' decision to award a penalty but Holroyd said: "All I can do is give the referee a decision to make there.
"I just tried to get at them in the box and he gave a penalty. I think we are due one, we have not had one all year."
Wrexham entertain strugglers Solihull Moors tomorrow and picking up another win would mean more to Holroyd than adding to his goal tally.
"Promotion is the target for me, I have said that all along," added Holroyd.
"That is what I look towards, getting promoted with Wrexham."
Manager Dean Keates was delighted with the result, making it two successive wins on the back of Wrexham's cross border derby victory at Chester in the previous outing.
"I thought the right team won," said Keates, who has seen Wrexham lose just once in 15 league games. "But full credit, Ebbsfleet are a decent team.
"They had only lost three times and you could see why. They were organised and they make you work.
"We are over the moon. It is three points, it is done and we will get ready for Solihull on Tuesday."

Interview number three is today.
If you'd asked me in March if I wanted to go back to Central Asia, I would have said YES! but I also would have thought I'd have some concerns. But then in April when the possibility came up, and is still a possibility, all I can think is YES! YES! YES!

Editor's note
I'm sure our readers (all three of you!) have noticed the lack of posts the last week or so. With various assignments and midterms to do, we at Double Technicals have not had much time to watch the playoff games too closely, let alone write about them. However, this hasn't stopped us from wasting our time trying to figure out which NBA team would win in a hypothetical fist fight to the death. What began as a fierce facebook-chat debate has led to a 1500 word blog post, and here we are.
The rules: standard street fight with 5 guys a team. They can be any 5 guys on the roster, but to make it fair we stipulated that it should be (loosely) 2 guards 2 forwards and a center from each team. The winner is the team with the last guy standing (i.e. you fight till death/unconsciousness).
Here's how we see the first round playing out:
HAWKS vs. CELTICS
Hawks' five: Zaza, Ivan Johnson, Josh Smith, Jerry Stackhouse, Hinrich
Celtics' five: KG, Pierce, Bass, Bradley, Rondo
The Hawks boast a crazy insane man in Zaza and an even crazier more insane player in Ivan Johnson. If you didn't know about Ivan Johnson, check this out. He's definitely somebody you don't want to fuck with. The Celtics' leader is a man known to pick on small European players, and mostly lets his mouth do the fighting. Not gonna lie, the Hawks guards probably won't even need to fight as Ivan and Zaza take out the Celtics by himself. But if they are called into duty, Jerry Stackhouse is one of the most feared players in the league with the beatdowns he dishes out.
Rondo is pretty fearless, as evidenced by the time he tried to step out Ron Artest in the 2010 Finals, but let's be honest his arms are skinnier than my dick. And while everyone talks about how tough Pierce is for surviving the multiple stab wounds in that nightclub fight in 2000, everyone knows a true G woulda pimp slapped the knife out the attacker's hands immediately. Plus he needed a wheel chair after getting a widdle boo boo on his knee. Pussy.

Nonetheless, as these aspects are not associated to FD, talking about all of them would be over and above the scope of this textual content.This investigation demonstrates scientific balance in cognitive function, while pronounced hippocampal atrophy is apparent all through the 8 years. Our middle-aged FD sufferers seem to compensate successfully for progressive HV reduction. However, because hippocampal atrophy was 11% above eight a long time, we count on FD individuals to show more hippocampal atrophy, ultimately passing a threshold of cognitive decline a lot previously than the wholesome population. Notably, marked hippocampal atrophy clearly exceeding age-associated quantity drop presented more proof of regional neuronal involvement in FD.
The heterogeneous WML raises ended up related with more mature age and greater WML-load at baseline, but not with HV, suggesting that WML involvement and HV decline are independent processes happening in FD.Staphylococcus aureus is a key pathogen which triggers a extensive selection of human infectious conditions. In the past a number of many years, methicillin-resistant S. aureus has enhanced in incidence in a lot of areas of the globe as agents of nosocomial bacterial infections. S. aureus and MRSA are key triggers of morbidity and mortality throughout the world and have leaded significant social and economic consequences. In addition, MRSA colonization charges are normally larger in elder folks and the charge of S. aureus colonization also raises with advancing age. As such, elderly men and women who reside in nursing houses for long-phrase treatment symbolize an essential reservoir for S. aureus and home in a NH is a nicely-established threat element for S. aureus carriage and infection.
As consequence, MRSA colonization in NH people is also connected with greater mortality charges. S. aureus is typically carried on the pores and skin floor and mucosa of wholesome individuals without having causing any harm, but in some sufferers S. aureus can cause extreme infections and bacteremia top to substantial mortality. A examine has demonstrated that there may be a sizeable boost in incidence of S. aureus bacteremia over a seven-year period in NHs due nearly solely to an improved occurrence of MRSA colonization.Various research have demonstrated higher colonization costs of MRSA in citizens in NHs with assortment from 4.7% to 23.3% in Europe, 22% in the United States, and the prevalence rate of S. aureus in Sweden was up to 48%. One particular review about MRSA epidemiology between people in competent nursing and intermediate treatment services in Hawaii has observed the proportions of MRSA which elevated from 35.% in 2000 to 58.6% in 2005 for the duration of the six-12 months period.
