Private view Friday 1st November '13 - artist Harold Smykla will be drawing the films as part of the opening event.
More about the exhibition:
The fourteen artists in this exhibition explore the nature of time and how different timescales can function simultaneously in an artwork. They operate in painting, photography, sculpture, installation, film and performance in four main ways:
putting more than one timescale into an image;
the strategy of recreating one time in another;
building the representation of time into a work;
making visible the time which passes in the making of the work.
The show also encourages us to consider how two fundamentally contrasting philosophical viewpoints dominate our current understanding of time.

The enchanted vistas, hallucinatory visions and otherworldly sounds that they document along the way have been collaged together to make this short film, which is offered here in praise of the enduring presence of the evergreen god.
The film will be shown throughout the festival in September-October, at St. Clements Church, Old Romney, Kent. AiRM is a visual arts project offering artists the unique opportunity to make experimental visual responses in the context of medieval churches.

Dr Harry Witchel (with Bela Emerson & Karl Dürr-Sørensen) at the Royal Institution, January 2011
Dr Harry Witchel researches music, pleasure and the brain. He suggests that we evolved music for the same reason as birds and gibbons, using music to establish social territory. In this way, music can influence what you think, what you decide to buy, and even how smart you are. Music stirs such powerful emotions in us because territory is not a place it is a state of mind.
Dr Witchel's new book, You Are What You Hear, is launched on 27th January, with a special pre-release event at the Royal Institution of Great Britain on 19th January. Both events feature live musicians (cellist Bela Emerson & clarinettist Karl Dürr-Sørensen) to illustrate the aspects of music that wield power over our emotions.

Health & Human Services
Medicaid Enrollment Surged in April
Medicaid enrollment surged by more than 1 million people in April, bringing the total growth in the state-federal health insurance program for the poor since September to about 6 million, the Obama administration said Wednesday.
The increase is significant because it shows Medicaid enrollment continued to grow even after the new state and federal online insurance exchanges closed their open enrollment period for private insurance at the end of March. Advocates say the increase also shows states are making headway reducing the backlog of Medicaid applications that built up because of communications problems between healthcare.gov and states and other state technological issues.
Overall, Medicaid enrollment in 47 states and the District of Columbia topped 65 million in April, compared to 59 million in September for those same states, according to the report from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Connecticut, Maine and North Dakota did not report their Medicaid enrollments.
States that expanded eligibility under the Affordable Care Act to cover residents with incomes up to 138 percent of federal poverty level (about $16,100 for an individual) saw Medicaid enrollments grow by an average of 15.3 percent. States that did not expand reported a 3.3 percent increase.
"This is good news," said Rachel Klein, director of organizational strategy & enrollment at Families USA, a consumer advocacy group. "This increase reflects the ongoing outreach effort in states … and that states are still processing applications they received earlier."
Twenty-six states have expanded Medicaid, although New Hampshire is not scheduled to implement it until July. Michigan's expansion began April 1 — and it has added more than 270,000 people to the program since then, according to state figures.
Medicaid rolls in West Virginia, Oregon and Nevada, all of which expanded eligibility, increased at the fastest pace — all had more than 40 percent growth since September, the CMS report said
Even some states that did not expand saw a surge of enrollees as thousands of people who were previously eligible but not enrolled signed up. Enrollment in South Carolina grew by more than 14 percent as the state made concerted effort to find those who were previously eligible. Florida, Georgia and Kansas — whose Republican leaders have been hostile to the health law — saw Medicaid grow by about 7 percent since September.
Medicaid enrollment dropped in four states since September — Alabama, Missouri, Nebraska and Wyoming. None expanded eligibility.
While the open enrollment period has ended for buying private insurance through the federal or state marketplaces, consumers may apply for Medicaid and CHIP coverage year round.

Jordan Hill diagnosed with herniated disc in back
October 8th, 2012, 6:31 pm by KEVIN DING, OCREGISTER.COMJordan Hill has a herniated disc in his back, and it has not been determined whether he will need surgery to repair it.
Hill will be re-evaluated in a week, but the prospect of missing him for an extended period of time is a major concern for a Lakers team expecting for Hill to be the primary backup for starters Dwight Howard and Pau Gasol. Hill has also been cited by Lakers coach Mike Brown as a bright spot in the early days of training camp, showing he merits even more than token filler minutes.
Hill posted to his Twitter account: "Ya boy coming back strong real soon...nothing too major...we just being careful...pray for da kid"
Hill could be seen in pain and holding a heating pad to his back on the Lakers' bench late in the game Sunday night in Fresno. The Lakers have been working Antawn Jamison primarily at small forward, but if Hill is sidelined for a lengthy period, they might have to change plans to play him more at power forward or alter the makeup of the roster to have additional size. Rookie center Robert Sacre had a credible outing Sunday night, although Brown credited Steve Nash with making Sacre look good. Howard is taking it slow in his recovery from April 20 surgery to repair a herniated disk in his back.
Hill signed a two-year, $7.1 million free-agent contract in the offseason after his energetic, active showing in the season's final games with the Lakers. They acquired him in the trade to dump Derek Fisher's contract on Houston.

Im rather upset right now. According to my friends, after today's patch I should just re-roll to something else like a wizard or barbarian. Really, this makes me sad because I liked my demon hunter quite a bit. Is it really bad enough that I should just retool something else? If so, what class?
Im a level 29 demon hunter. Do I re roll after patch?
You don't need to reroll. Your friends sound like they overreact a lot.
Yeah that seems just a little ridiculous. Play for a bit see if anything is really different and decide for yourself.
Nope. Don't reroll. A good alternative to Nether Tentacles is Elemental Arrow with Frost rune and Cull the Weak as a passive. I'm more saddened by my DPS going down by 400 because of the Attack Speed nerf.
stinky is correct. The DH nerfs aren't the major game changing issue here where instead it is repair costs. It did seem kind of ridiculous that repair costs were so low I wondered why they had them beyond forcing you to TP occasionally but I wonder boosted this to get handle on inflation in the auction houses.
@EXTomar said:
I wonder if they are trying to get a handle on inflation in the auction houses.
they said it was about people rezzing again and again during boss battles, and to make that not a viable strategy. seems like there are better ways to solve that though.
as for inflation, you could be right. but not sure why they would care to this extent. as what it does is make the money grind take longer. they have my $60, they don't need to hold me like an MMO does with their monthly fees.
the bad part is it makes me think of going to the real money AH. i don't want to grind lower levels to help pay repair costs. its not fun.
That explanation from Blizzard does feel a little dubious since the "res timer" gets progressively harsher each death where you have to go back to town to repair at some point too. I've never "capped it" but there were hard fights where multiple players would be looking at 30+ second waits just to appear at the last check point let alone get back to the champ/boss.
DH is still brokenly good. Fear Arrows FTW.

The Role of Governance Institutions in Private Investment Decisions: The Case of Middle East and North Africa
This paper investigates the link between private investment decisions and various governance institutions in the form of corruption, quality of bureaucracy, judiciary, security of property rights, regulations and taxation, political stability, as well as political rights and civil liberties. This link is empirically tested for a panel of 32 countries by estimating a simultaneous model of private investment and governance institutions, where economic policy and other variables explain concurrently both variables. This empirical model also illustrates that economic reforms -- in the form of financial development and trade openness -- and human capital affect private investment decisions in two ways; directly, as well as through their positive impact on the quality of governance institutions. In MENA, deficient administration quality, political instability and low public accountability contributed significantly to the low investment decisions of the 1980s and the 1990s. Our empirical analysis also confirms that structural reforms constitute another challenge, if the region wants to catch up with more successful developing economies.

Give a man a fish and he eats for a day, but teach him to genetically engineer his own fish and—by the gods, what has science done? Evolve your mind with this Groupon.
$34 for a Rigid-Heddle Textile-Weaving Class ($70 Value)
During each weaving class, students learn the mechanics of a rigid-heddle loom and leave class with one or two finished fiber projects, such as a scarf, towel, or table runner. Although all classes teach the same essentials, students choose between a three-week class or a weekend class. For detailed dates and times, check the class calendar.
Students may take their looms home to continue working on their projects, but each student is responsible for the fees for their own materials, such as cotton, silk, wool, bamboo, or alpaca; most cost between $20 and $60.
The Weaving Shed
The rigid heddle loom is a relatively simple machine. Jennifer Baum, The Weaving Shed's owner and a juried fiber artist, likes it because a beginning student can set it up and start a scarf within 45 minutes. Along with the loom's simplicity, Jen appreciates the therapeutic value of its rhythmic, back-and-forth cadence. As students work the loom to steadily pull fiber threads into a hand-woven item, they also shed the stress of their day. Jen sees these transformations—both in the progress of the project and the demeanor of the student—as she guides the technique and lends tips to the up to eight students that attend each class in the newly-expanded studio.
Along with classes, The Weaving Shed also spearheads a Farm to Yarn program with local farms. The natural or hand-dyed sheep's wool or alpaca fleece becomes a sustainable, specialty fiber for weaving, knitting, felting, crotchet, and spinning projects. This interest in cultivating local fibers hits especially close to Jen's home, AKA Sunny Knoll Farm, where, with her husband and children, she helps raise an ever-growing alpaca herd. She describes the alpaca as a very "zen-lifestyle animal," even though scientific journals refer to them as "respiring shag carpets." Along with laughing at the "fun family adventure" that the experience has been, she also praises the hypoallergenic qualities of the fleece and its 22 naturally occurring colors.

Although some locals initially thought it was a prank, the police believe that illegal chemical dumping is responsible for these dogs of a different color. As a result of the startling discovery, the city council has been asked to clean up the toxic area.It sounds like the color is probably the result of a chemical reaction with the dogs' fur, but it probably doesn't bode well for their overall health and well-being. Still, the folks responsible for the dumpng better hope they don't end up with a pack of canine Toxic Avengers on their hands.AdvertisementWild Dogs Turn Green From 'Toxic Waste' [Yahoo!

Review: AT&T Quickfire
The Quickfire's menu system has been well adapted for touch-based input. With the phone in the closed position, there are the now-familiar four icons running across the bottom of the screen. These take you to the main menu, the dial-pad / phone, your music, or your contacts. Each button is perfectly sized for pressing with your finger. The button between the send/end keys along the bottom of the phone always brings up a short box of applications, including the main menu, calling features, messaging, browser and music player, no matter what screen you're on.
The 12-icon grid in the main menu is what you expect to see on an AT&T feature phone. This first page is easily used, but subsequent pages further into the menu are a bit trickier.
AD article continues below...
Once you navigate deeper than the main menu, it switches from finger-friendly buttons to finger-fooling lists. The lists are smaller and more difficult to press. In addition, due to the unresponsiveness of the screen, you'll find that panning around these listed menus is a bit frustrating. Rather than really flick up and down as on other touch devioces, there is a scroll bar on the right side of the screen which is used to drag the menu up or down. It only scrolls one whole screen at a time. It's not smooth scrolling, in fact it's not even line-by-line. The extreme jumping from screen to screen makes it hard to tell where you are.
At the top of each menu screen is a software "back" button to take you to the previous screen.
When you open the screen and hold the phone sideways, the Quickfire changes its behavior. Rather than show you a sideways view of the home screen, it brings up a mini-menu with five options. These options are geared towards messaging functions of the Quickfire, as that's what the software assumes you want to do with the phone open. They are Messaging, Email, IM, Address Book and another button to open the full menu. This makes sense.
Unlike many other phones we've tested, the Quickfire re-orients itself immediately. There is no delay in switching between landscape and portrait mode.
In all, the menu system is simple and to the point, which is exactly how we like it.

Kathleen Hensch-Fleming, RN, Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner (ARNP), Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM), Menopause Clinician.
Kathleen has worked in the field of women's health for over 35 years. Her career has included positions as a registered nurse, OB department manager, County Commissioner, director of Women's Services in a large tertiary care hospital, Certified Nurse Midwife and Certified Menopause Clinician. Along the way she has delivered 2,470 babies.
In 2000 she co-created Pacific Midwifery Service as the first and only independent midwifery practice in Southwest Washington. The goal that was set (and that is met every day) is to provide quality, personalized, professional health care to women who want to participate in their own care. As a midwife, her emphasis is on teaching and knowing, thus alleviating fears, whether the procedure is a pap smear, placing an IUD or a birth.
Kathleen's love and wonder for the birthing process is evident in her passionate approach. "It was never hard to get up in the middle of the night to go to a birthday party!" She sang ' Happy Birthday' at every birth. She has preached the passion for WATERBIRTH for 10 years, and has delivered hundreds of SW Washington women in the water during that time, both at Southwest Washington Medical Center and Legacy Salmon Creek Hospital.
She 'retired' from delivering babies in 2010 completing 35 years of obstetric service. Now she devotes her energy towomen's health care including Annuals, Paps, infertility, infection, birth control and her special love, menopause treatment. Kathleen constantly refreshes her knowledge of menopause and symptom management, from personal experience and ongoing education. Her compassion for women in menopause allows her to create individual plans for each woman based on their needs and tests. Her "bag of tricks" includes coordinating hormones, lifestyle changes, herbs and bio-identical hormones. She has survived her own menopause and has 7 sisters of peri-menopausal, menopausal and post-menopausal ages… she has probably heard your story before! She has completed the North American Menopause Society training for Menopause Clinician and updates her information and resources daily.
Kathleen is married with two grown daughters and a grown stepson. She has 7 grandchildren. She also has a quilting business 'on the side', has completed the Portland Marathon in 2006 and 2007, and loves to walk and garden. She is a fiber artist, expressing herself in quilting, felting and in her silk scarf paintings! Her international medical travels have taken her to Africa, Venezuela, China and Fiji. She is an active member of the Lewis River Rotary Club of Battle Ground.

I hate dumbass reviewers
OK, I know I shouldn't do this, but the guy who just said that the whole thing sucked besides the reporter's boobs must be a lonely faggit. If he gets pleasure of your cartoony drawings of women's breasts. Wow...what a faggit. You should copy and paste this into your reply back to him so that he see's it.
As for your movie! I LOVE THIS SERIES! It's awesome! they are always so funny! I must say that the sound quality lacked a little bit in this one, and I wish you would add more interactivity, but as a whole, this still rocked! Please add like 2-3 more stages where you can choose what happens! It is a genius way to keep your viewers captivated! 5/5!

Associated Press
SAN ANTONIO — Stephen Curry was virtually unstoppable in the third quarter of Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals. Unfortunately for the Golden State Warriors, Manu Ginobili and the San Antonio Spurs proved just as overwhelming down the stretch.
Ginobili's 3-pointer from the wing with 1.2 seconds left in double overtime lifted the San Antonio Spurs to a thrilling 129-127 victory over the Golden State Warriors and Curry's 44 points on Monday night.
"We had a heartbreaker in Game 1 of the last series (against Denver)," Curry said. "A last-second layup by Andre Miller. So we've been here before. But we know how to come back. We've been a resilient team all year. To have an opportunity to go 1-1, we still have a chance to do that."
Game 2 is Wednesday night in San Antonio.
Curry had 11 assists and was 18 for 35 from the field and 6 for 14 on 3-pointers for Golden State, which has lost 30 straight in San Antonio dating back to Feb. 14, 1997.
After scoring 22 points in the third quarter, the Spurs slowed Curry early in the fourth quarter by putting the 6-foot-7 Kawhi Leonard on him in the fourth quarter. Curry scored only six points in the fourth quarter, helping fuel San Antonio's rally behind Tony Parker and Leonard.
"It's tough to shoot over him," Curry said. "You have to create space. They did a good job; they drew a charge one time. I could go by Kawhi but they had help waiting on the back side. I'll look at the film and see what (Leonard) did well late in that game to disrupt our timing and my rhythm."
Ginobili's game-winning shot came 43.7 seconds after Ginobili took an ill-advised 3 that appeared to cost the Spurs the game.
"I went from wanting to trade him on the spot to wanting to cook breakfast for him tomorrow morning," Popovich said. "That's the truth. When I talk to him and say, 'Manu,' he goes, 'This is what I do.' That's what he's going to tell me. I stopped coaching him a long time ago."
Ginobili's 3 capped an improbable comeback for the Spurs, who trailed by 16 points with 4 minutes left in regulation before going on an 18-2 run to close the fourth quarter and force overtime.
Golden State trailed by five with 1 minute left in the second overtime before the Warriors scored six straight points to take a one-point lead on Kent Bazemore's reverse layup that gave the Warriors a 127-126 advantage with 3.9 seconds left.
Bazemore's layup was set up by Ginobili's errant 27-foot 3-pointer with 44.9 seconds left.
"I took a really bad shot," Ginobili said. "I was on the top of the key. I had no chance whatsoever to make it to the basket. I couldn't penetrate; I was very tired. Jack gave me a couple of feet and I thought I could make it."
Trailing 127-126 with 3.9 seconds left in the second overtime, Ginobili launched a high 3-pointer off a cross-court inbounds pass from Leonard.
"On the last play, it wasn't for me; they just left me open," Ginobili said. "I set a screen for TP and they both went with him and left me open on the weak side. When I caught it I just saw Bazemore flying. I just gave it a lot of air and it went in.
"I wasn't even an option. They told me just go screen and stay far from the play. The play was for Tony or Boris. And they got confused."
Golden State had one final chance but Jarrett Jack's 3-pointer from the top of the key was off.
Parker scored 28 points to lead San Antonio while Danny Green added 22 points, Leonard had 18 and Ginobili 16.
Tim Duncan finished with 19 points and 11 rebounds in 35 minutes. Duncan, who is battling a stomach bug, left the game with 3 minutes left in regulation and only played the final seconds of each overtime.
"He's had the flu," Popovich said. "He's been sick and he gave it a shot. It became pretty apparent there that he wasn't going to tell me the truth anymore, so I had to pull the plug myself."
Klay Thompson and Harrison Barnes each added 19 points, Jarrett Jack had 15 and Andrew Bogut had 10 points and 15 rebounds.
The Warriors missed eight of their final nine shots in regulation, including a desperation heave by Curry at the buzzer against several defenders.
"You should (win)," Golden State coach Mark Jackson said. "We're not the first team to lose a game like this and we will not be the last. That doesn't mean we're going to accept it. We're going to get better. Even down the stretch in the process of losing the lead, we did some things that were good. At the end of the day, they made plays and we didn't make enough."
Curry had 22 points in the third quarter, including 14 straight late in the period. Curry's run gave Golden State a 90-72 lead with 37.5 seconds left in the third.
He found his groove after a sluggish first half.
After averaging only 3.3 turnovers in Golden State's first-round upset of Denver, Curry had four in the first quarter alone while struggling to find his shot.
Curry missed his first two attempts while committing two turnovers and picking up a personal foul before hitting a 19-foot jumper with 6:31 left in the first. He finished 2 for 6 in the first quarter, scoring four points in 12 minutes while primarily being defended by Green.
Curry's first 3 came did not come until there was 7 minutes left in the first half.
The Warriors had plenty of offense without Curry, though.
Golden State raced to a 28-25 lead in the opening period by outscoring San Antonio 12-2 in the paint.
The Spurs started 1 for 9, with Green's 3-pointer their only basket in the opening 4 minutes. Parker's jumper with 7:17 left in the first broke the drought and pulled the Spurs within 11-5.
San Antonio shot 38 percent from the field in the first half, but kept the game close by going 13 for 14 on free throws compared to 5 for 10 by Golden State.
NOTES: Spurs F Tiago Splitter (ankle) missed his second-straight game of the playoffs. Splitter did not miss any games during the regular season due to injury, but sat out the finale to rest. . San Antonio G Nando De Colo was inactive. . Warriors W Brandon Rush (knee) missed the game. . Barnes was 5-years-old the last time Golden State won in San Antonio. . The national anthem was sung by Haley Scarnato, a former American Idol finalist and San Antonio native.

 CHARLESTON -- A Charleston woman is suing Charleston Area Medical Center for failing to timely treat free air in her abdomen.

Dr. Robert Bongchul and the West Virginia University Board of Governors were also named as defendants in the suit.

On Oct. 5, 2010, Anita Arnold went to the emergency room at CAMC seeking care, according to a complaint filed Aug. 23 in Kanawha Circuit Court.

Arnold claims the defendants failed to timely treat free air in her abdomen until the following day, which required her to endure multiple surgeries.

The defendants were careless, reckless and negligent in their care and treatment of Arnold by failing to treat her condition in a timely manner and deviated from the applicable standard of medical care, according to the suit.

Arnold claims a CT scan she had on Oct. 5, 2010, showed evidence of the free air in her abdomen, which the defendants should have treated that day, instead of waiting until the following day to diagnose her.

The defendants' negligence caused Arnold to sustain bodily injuries; suffer physical pain and mental anguish; incur expenses for doctors, hospital care, nursing care, medicine, equipment and related items of service; and impairment of her capacity to enjoy life, according to the suit.

Arnold is seeking compensatory damages with pre- and post-judgment interest. She is being represented by Richard D. Lindsay and Dr. Richard D. Lindsay.

The case has been assigned to Circuit Judge Carrie Webster.

Kanawha Circuit Court case number: 12-C-1703

Hip Dysplasia in Dogs
In this article
Hip dysplasia is an inherited condition resulting from an improperly formed hip joint. Because the joint is loose, the dog's leg bone moves around too much, causing painful wear and tear.
How Can I Tell if My Dog Has Hip Dysplasia?
Some cases of hip dysplasia are so mild there are no symptoms, but if your dog seems stiff or sore in the hips when getting up, if he seems hesitant to exercise, stand on his hind legs or climb stairs, or if he's limping or bunny-hopping, a visit to the vet is in order.
When Do Dogs Develop Hip Dysplasia?
Each case is different, depending on the dog. Hip dysplasia can begin to develop in puppies of five months old and worsen as they age-or not show up at all until a dog has reached geriatric years. In many cases, though, the condition becomes noticeable in dogs in their middle or later years.
How Is Hip Dysplasia Diagnosed?
An evaluation for hip dysplasia will likely include a physical examination, radiographs and manual tests on your dog's hips.
Which Dogs Are Prone to Hip Dysplasia?
Hip dysplasia commonly affects larger breeds of dogs, including bulldogs, mastiffs, American Staffordshire terriers, St. Bernards, retrievers, and Rottweilers. However, dogs of all breeds and all sizes are susceptible to this inherited condition, including some small breeds, such as pugs, and French bulldogs.
How Can Hip Dysplasia Be Treated?
Because hip dysplasia is caused by an inherited defect, there are no products that can prevent its development. There are several surgical options, including a complete hip replacement. However, a combination of healthy diet, maintaining a normal weight, exercise, massage, warm and dry sleeping areas, joint supplements, and, potentially, prescription veterinary pain-relieving medication can help manage the condition. Your vet will help you with a daily pain-relieving program that is right for your dog.
Should Dogs with Hip Dysplasia Exercise?
Talk to your dog's veterinarian about a good exercise program. Walking and moderate running can help strengthen the muscles around the joint. Your vet may recommend that you try for two 20-minute walks each day-just be sure to let your dog set the pace. As a general rule, it's smart to avoid jumping or running for long distances. If you can, consider letting your dog swim for exercise-swimming is excellent for the muscles surrounding his joints.

This object is on display in the Apollo to the Moon exhibition at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC.
Collection Item Summary:
With this camera, an Ansco Autoset model, astronaut John H. Glenn, Jr., took the first human-shot, color still photographs of the Earth during his three-orbit mission on February 20, 1962. (Soviet cosmonaut Gherman Titov had made pioneering movie footage during his one-day flight in August 1961.) Glenn's pictures paved the way for future Earth photography experiments on American human spaceflight missions.
For ease of use by Glenn, NASA technicians attached a pistol grip handle and trigger to this commercial 35-mm camera, which is upside down from its normal orientation. Because Glenn was wearing a spacesuit helmet and could not get his eye close to a built-in viewfinder, NASA engineers attached a larger viewfinder on top. Glenn found the camera easy to use, in part because he could exploit zero-gravity's advantages. "When I needed both hands, I just let go of the camera and it floated there in front of me," he said in his later memoir.
NASA transferred this camera to the Smithsonian in 1963.

We go to Texas A&M Veterinary Teaching Hospital on Thursday am for a re-check on his diagnosis of encephalitis.
So far he is doing great. There are things that he does not remember but both so far are good things "I guess". He is not sleeping in our bed nor is he doing wheels up on the sofa - I sure do miss that for some reason.
He is ravoneously hungry all the time - my guess would be the Prednisone. Give him a cookie and you better be quick because he could mistake your finger for dessert. His rear legs do not seem as strong as they used to but they never strong anyway due to the 2 TPLO's for his torn ACL's. Energy level is a bit better in the pool. He is swimming faster and really loves to jump off the side. He has some strange thing (to me anyway) on the bottom of his chest at the deepest part where when I touch it - it kind of clicks like there is something loose there. Going to ask to see the x-rays they took at ER clinic if they still have them because that is somewhat near the spot where the mass was that is now gone. Eyesight is not perfect but if you did not know any better you would not be able to telll.
I hope they will discontinue the meds but on the other hand if they do I will be on pins and needles the entire time because if his problem is immune related he will decline and go back to what he was and then we will know that his time on earth is limited.
On the bright side if we stop the meds and he continues as is it was bacterial or viral and we will be looking at this in the rearview mirror. From my lips and keyboard to God's ear please!

Good thoughts for the Tank.
Keep in mind the odds are on your side. It is much more likely it was viral or bacterial than immune related so think positive thoughts.

Original art image had been cropped on three sides (but not advised so, on the web page).

The Economic Opportunity Institute
A progressive think tank. Seventeenth in a series.
Thousands of home-based health care providers have been forced into a union because they receive assistance from the state while they take care of loved ones who are disabled. The Service Employees International Union receives close to $6 million annually in forced dues from this abusive arrangement.
House Bill 4003 would end this injustice by clarifying that Michiganders who care for relatives in their own homes are not government employees, and hence are not appropriate targets for government unions. That bill has passed the House but is stuck in the Senate. While we wait for the Senate to act, the SEIU continues to siphon money that was meant to help families.
Stay Engaged
Here's another example of where that money might be going, drawn from the SEIU's 2010 LM-2 report:
The Economic Opportunity Institute is a progressive state-based think tank in Seattle. In 2010 it received $125,000 from SEIU, funds that according to the union were used for organizing.
EOI's rhetoric is fairly mild, but its policy positions are consistently in favor of an expanded role for government in the economy. Among the things that EOI considers successes are the nation's highest minimum wage (with a regular cost of living adjustment) and a family leave insurance program that provides workers in Washington with up to five weeks of paid family leave as well as paid sick leave. EOI also touts the unionization of day care providers, a scheme that was tried in Michigan and eventually revoked by executive order. A recent article by the Institute's executive director, John Burbank, calls for the state of Washington to "tax the rich," especially "the 1 percent."
The Economic Opportunity Institute is one of many groups with a clear political agenda that Michiganders are supporting with funds that were meant to go the families and friends of persons with disabilities.

Philippines Maps Policy Shift to Avert 1997 Risk: Southeast Asia
Karl Lester M. Yap and Michael MunozThe Philippines is stepping up its battle against surging capital inflows with a plan to shift to a multiple interest-rate policy regime, as stocks at a record and the peso near a five-year high heighten asset-bubble risks.
Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas will probably use the rate on special deposit accounts and the overnight lending rate to supplement its benchmark as tools to guide policy, according to Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd., Citigroup Inc. and Nomura Holdings Inc. All 16 economists in a Bloomberg survey predict the key borrowing rate will stay at 3.5 percent tomorrow.
Governor Amando Tetangco, who has imposed limits on lenders' currency forward positions and expanded monitoring of real estate loans to fight inflows, said yesterday the central bank is moving to an interest-rate corridor approach. Capital volatility poses a risk for Asia-Pacific economies, Standard & Poor's said last week, raising the potential for asset and credit bubbles 15 years after the 1997-98 financial crisis.
"The Philippines is under pressure to adjust its monetary policy approach to deter capital inflows" and reduce the cost of absorbing excess funds in the financial system, said Johanna Chua, Hong Kong-based head of emerging Asia economic research at Citigroup. "Traditional inflation targeting with a single interest rate as its main policy tool is now being challenged because of abundant global liquidity and further monetary accommodation in advanced economies."
Initial Step
The Philippine stock index has risen almost 17 percent this year and climbed about 300 percent since October 2008, making it the world's biggest equity bull market. The peso, which is the best performer in the past year among emerging-market currencies tracked by Bloomberg, touched 40.55 per dollar today, close to its highest level since March 2008.
The yield on 6 percent bonds due March 2016 fell three basis points, or 0.03 percentage point, to 2.61 percent, according to midday fixing prices at Philippine Dealing & Exchange Corp. That's the lowest rate for a three-year benchmark note since Bloomberg began tracking the data in October 2000.
Bangko Sentral will probably add to cuts on the rates on $46 billion of funds in its special deposit accounts, according to economists at Citigroup and Barclays Plc. The rate, currently at 3 percent, was lowered below the benchmark in January for the first time. The overnight lending rate is 5.5 percent.
The decision to reduce rates on SDAs was an "initial step towards transitioning" to an interest-rate corridor and further cuts can't be ruled out, Tetangco said last week. Such a move would be one of the most important policy shifts since Bangko Sentral adopted inflation targeting in 2002, said Emilio Neri, an economist at Bank of the Philippine Islands in Manila.
Liquidity Surge
Bangko Sentral has intervened to manage the peso, Tetangco said on Jan. 15, as the currency approached its strongest levels since 2008. A liquidity surge drove the interbank overnight rate to negative this year, while money supply increased 10.84 percent in January, the fastest pace in 19 months.
Net portfolio inflows were almost six times higher in January compared to December, spurred by funds including Manulife Asset Management and Western Asset Management Co. The Southeast Asian nation will be among the 10 fastest-growing economies in 2013 and 2014, according to Bloomberg surveys.
"Low rates increase the attraction of taking on leverage, particularly when growth and confidence are high," ANZ said in a Feb. 27 note. "It is further compounded by inflows associated with the perceived run-up to an investment grade rating."
Improved Governance
President Benigno Aquino is increasing spending to a record this year while seeking more than $17 billion of investments in highways and airports to spur growth to as much as 7 percent. Standard & Poor's in December raised the country's sovereign rating outlook to positive, citing improved governance and public finances, bringing it closer to investment-grade status.
The situation is different from 1997, when the Philippine peso slumped about 52 percent as the financial crisis spread in the region. The economy slid into a recession in 1998, and the government borrowed from the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund to contain the impact.
Now, encouraged by the nation's growth prospects, value of land in Manila's Makati business district has surpassed the 2008 peak, and will rise 5 percent to 8 percent more in the next 12 months, Colliers International UK Plc said in a note last month.
"The high-end property sector is seeing relatively sharp asset price gains which may soon be addressed through additional controls such as reducing banks' maximum exposure to property, adjusting loan-to-value ratios, limiting single ownership," economists at Nomura said.
Managing Volatility
Last year, Bangko Sentral announced limits on lenders' currency forward positions, banned overseas funds from special accounts and expanded monitoring of banks' real-estate exposure. The central bank has "instituted formal mechanisms" to avoid asset-price inflation, especially in real estate, Deputy Governor Nestor Espenilla said March 8.
Other Asian nations are also boosting efforts to contain inflows. South Korea Deputy Finance Minister Choi Jong Ku in January said authorities should consider taxes on currency trading and bonds, while Thailand is setting up a team of economists to study how to respond to short-term capital inflows.
For the Philippines, reducing the SDA rate may be the preferred option, according to Barclays.
"A lower SDA rate reduces the central bank's sterilization costs, giving it more freedom to manage currency volatility via spot intervention," said Prakriti Sofat, a regional economist at Barclays in Singapore. "It also reduces the return for banks' excess liquidity, encouraging them to expand credit in the economy."

Photo Shoot Wedding Style
Inspiration Shoot Victorian Vintage Wedding Photography
Romantic Vintage
Lavender Light Pink Light Yellow Mint
If there were an inspiration shoot I could live in for the rest of my life, this would be it. The macarons alone have sold me on the idea. Aside from the tasty treats, Avec Toi Events has put together a bit of inspiration that is devine. Devine. All the tabletop decor from Casa de Perrin, the gorgeous blooms, and those aforementioned sweets have been gathered up into a gallery from Kim Le Photography. A gallery which will make you want to crawl right through your computer screen and into the pretty.
From the photographer … The ladies from Avec Toi Events turned their vision into reality with this "Modern-Victorian Garden Tea Party Wedding" styled shoot. From rose-adorned french macarons to the carefully selected vintage lace wedding dresses, they gave much attention to every aspect of their vision. They collaborated with some great names in the industry: Found Vintage Rentals, Casa de Perrin, Ruche, model Ashlyn Pearce, fashion blogger Liz Cherkasova, and Kim Le Photography just to name a few! Shot on a cold, gloomy, and eventually stormy day at a small bed and breakfast in San Clemente, California, this should reassure brides that clouds and rain don't necessarily ruin their perfect wedding!
From the planner … The idea of our Victorian shoot was inspired by our love of beauty. We love the charm and warmth of outdoor weddings. We love having afternoon tea and enjoying sweets while spending quality time with girlfriends. We love all things vintage and lace. We've seen many of the same vintage-inspired weddings but never Victorian-inspired so we decided to explore the idea and transform it into a styled photoshoot.
