FreezingBlue Flashcards
receptors on heart? affects of binding?
beta 1 on heart at nodal cells increase hr,increases renal flow also
what would happen if we gave the same amount of epi and norepi?
norepi would vasoconstrict via a1 receptors while epi will counter and keep in check the vasoconstriction via beta 2 vasodilation
norepi binding
primarliy alpha 1 to elevate blood pressure
does not bind to b2- no vasodilation, no counteract for norepi just vasoconstriict via a1
affects a1,a2,b1,b2
cardiac arrest, anaphylaxis
low dose-beta vascular predom
high dose alpha strongest
low dose- renal vasodilation D1 receptors
high doses- b1 activation( increases HR and contractility) and a1mediated vasoconstirct, increase bp
Name a pure alpha2 agonist – that shuts off sympathetic outflow
clonidine, methyldopa
presynaptic terminal shuts off norpi- for refractory htn
Name a pure alpha1 antagonist
prazosin- SIN- vasodilation for HTN, BPH
What is a mixed alpha and beta receptor antagonist?
able to stimulate both adrenoreceptors directly and stim NE release from the neuron
ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, metraminol
Non-specific beta receptor antagonists vs. beta1 selective – in relation to side effects
non sepcific-
b2 causes vasodilation, locate don the lungs also so if we antagonize beta 2 with a non selective beta blocker we will antagonize the lung and they will not be able to breathe and constrict asthma copd pts
we like the beta 1 selectives for cardi dx they are more selective
– decreases blood flow to the skin, increases blood flow to the skeletal muscle, increases force and rate of contraction
alpha 1 more in the skin, beta 2 a lot in the vascular beds of skeletal muscle
isoproterenol untreated control
pre treat with alpha1 blocker
pre treat with beta2 blocker
pure beta agonist- stimulate beta receptors
no alpha effect, beta receptors still stimulated
very little beta receptor stim
epinephrine untreated control
pretreat with alpha1 blocker
pretreat with beta2 blocker
epi has both alpha and beta stim
get more of a beta response
get more alpha response
norepi untreated control
pre treat with alpha1 blocker
pre treat with beta2 blocker
no beta activity
get small alpha response
get alpha response with no inhibition
Effective Refractory Period – what is it, what part of the action potential does it represent?
Class I anti-arrhythmics –what channel is inhibited
– negative inotropic effects
- Decreases action potential duration
- Associated with torsades de Pointes, Increase threshold, decrease automaticity, increases action potential duration, vagal inhibition, alpha receptor blocker
- Reversible lupus syndrome
Class II Drugs What type Major effect
Class III Drugs What type Major effect
Amiodarone: side effect
low heart rate, low thyroxin, elevated thyroid stimulating hormone
Drug that has class II actions
Class IV Drugs Channel affected Major adverse effect Useful in what arrhythmia and why
Atrial vs Ventricular Action Potential
Non-action potential antiarrhythmic drugs
Electrolyte solution
CCB- example and arrhythmia
PST and AFib
Effective refractory period- which drugs act on it?
1a greatly increased
1b decreased
1c no change
2 increased
3 greatly increased
4 no effect
Initial treatment for mild hypertension
is life alterations
MOA – vasodilation secondary to Na and water loss
Side effect – causes increased plasma lipids (cholesterol)
Potassium depletion – how to treat
Loop diuretics (furosemide) useful for controlling severe hypertension good for renal pts
k sparing diuretic
Centrally acting drug used for pregnant women
ISA intinsic sympathomimetic activity
pt with low heart and htn, give them ISA drug like acebutolol can maintain hr because beta blocker will slightly activate beta receptors slightly and block action of strong agonists helps reduce bradycardia
Beta antagonists
ISA intinsic sympathomimetic activity– to reduce bradycardia-
Sudden withdrawal can produce arrhythmias
Fatigue, lethargy, decreased libido, impotence- affects compliance
Agents used for hypertensive emergencies
– sodium nitroprusside- fast on fast off
no long lasting effects- does have cyanide- so in high doses may be bad
Calcium Channel Blockers
Produce bradycardia and AV block as side effects
Verapamil – more cardio
Nifedipine – more vascular smooth muscle
Alpha Blocking Agents for refractory pts
Cause fall in blood pressure, reflex tachycardia, fainting on initial dose
Minoxidil – increase fluid retention and may cause hypertrichosis- need to add diuretic prob
direct acting to increase cGMP and cause vasodilation
Angiotensin system
– reduce peripheral resistance, prevent NaCl and water retention
act as a diuretic and vasodilator
ACE inhibitors
Reduce AngII production, increase bradykinin production
Favorable side effects – dry cough is an annoying side effect
renin inhibitors
lowers bp effectively
contra in pregant
causes diarrhea, dry cough, angioedema
Ang Receptor Antagonist
Blocks AngII receptors
Treatment of Coronary Artery Disease. Primary and secondary
If no evidence of coronary artery disease change lifestyle – weight, smoking, exercise, etc
Drug intervention – risk plays a significant role in how much to lower cholesterol
HMG CoA reductase inhibitors (decreases synthesis of cholesterol)
Highly effective
Side effects – liver problems and myopathy

Fill in the gap, will ya?
Well, u thought that missing the train was bad, right?
It certainly just didn't stop there.
To make up the time lost, I decided to do something I might as well had done in the first place but didn't - I hopped on an airport bus.
I, For the first time of my life, bought a walk-in ticket at the airport.
Ask me not how much it cost.
Then u thought that I would totally make it now that I am flying?
Well well well.
Just to spice life a bit up.
The plane was 45 minutes late.
Just as I was landing, my connecting overnight training was getting ready to leave the station.
Oh well, so far, this would be my third and fingers crossed last __ this trip.
It started "well" by the SNCF cancelling RER service.
As far as the french consistency concerns, the airport shuttle bus was nowhere to be seen even it was 20 mins past the scheduled time.
This is just too good.
Something new everyday.
Though I did have a wonderful afternoon wandering around in the botanic garden, thanks to the Genevan tax payers.
Let's give them a big hand.

Of Post Doctors and Glorious Geniuses [Cambodia is full of "geniuses", but why Cambodia is still very poor?]
ខ្មែរមានអត្រាអ្នកមានសញ្ញាប័ត្របណ្ឌិតច្រើនជាងគេលើលោក តែប្រទេសនៅតែក្រ
May 9, 2013,
The New York Times
By JULIA WALLACE
PHNOM PENH — Late last month, the prime minister of Cambodia awarded his long-serving finance minister the title "Kitti Setah Banditt," which roughly translates to "Glorious Economist of Genius" and is the supposed equivalent of a doctoral degree. It was a variation on an obscure "Glorious Genius" honor that seemingly came out of nowhere in 2011, when it was given to two senior leaders of the governing Cambodian People's Party as well as the prime minister's wife.[Hun Sen's wife has just been awarded a knighthood of a title of "Samdech Ketti Prithapundit Bun Rany Hun Sen"].
When the powers that be aren't burnishing their credentials, they invent them out of whole cloth.
A similar title — Glorious Preacher of Genius — was recently conferred on several high-ranking members of the Buddhist monastic order, which is closely aligned with C.P.P.
When the powers that be aren't burnishing their credentials, they invent them out of whole cloth.
Khmer-language newspapers frequently carry advertisements congratulating officials on their latest academic degrees. Mong Reththy, a C.P.P. senator and businessman, has amassed at least three doctorates. Cheam Yeap, the head of Parliament's finance committee, has two doctorates, as well as what he calls a "post Ph.D." from Isles International University, an unaccredited institution and a diploma mill that once operated in Cambodia. In official communications, his name is prefaced by the title "His Excellency Post Doctor."
In 2010 Nhiek Bun Chhay, leader of the C.P.P.-aligned Funcinpec Party, claimed to have earned, after studying online for seven years, a Ph.D. in dispute resolution from St. Clements University in Switzerland, apparently another degree mill. Chea Sim, the Senate president and C.P.P. leader, has at least three Ph.D.'s — including one in "high leadership in the Senate" — as well as two honorary doctorates, despite never having progressed beyond high school.
Prime Minister Hun Sen, for his part, says he received a doctorate in political science from the National Political Academy in Hanoi in 1991 and at least 10 honorary Ph.D.'s, many from obscure universities. On his Web site, he also boasts of being a member of the bar, a five-star general, a Royal Academician and an Honorable Professor of Diplomatic and International Relations with the Universidad Empresarial de Costa Rica.

The (tricky) return home...
Perurail on strike on the only day that we HAD to get back to Cusco, meant one nervous day. On the phone to the airline, trying to reschedule our flights, changing the hotel bookings, asking in the police station just how long the strike was likely to go on for... what a day! At the end of it all, we managed to get on a train after waiting for 12 hours in the station, and overnight, managed to make it to the airport to get our flights back to BsAs.

Day 4... Machu Picchu (At last!)
Day 4 (There was NOTHING to see on Day 3 through the extreme cloud and rain!) At the end of what was much harder than either of us expected... Machu Picchu. And without a cloud in sight! What luck after 3 days of horrendous weather. Such an impressive sight, and all the more so knowing how hard it was to get there in the first place. Amazing place, with such an inspiring history. Wow those Incas were good...

Day 2 of the Inca trail
Persistent rain... all day! The hardest day of the tour, with a good few testing mountain passes. (Including Dead Womans Pass). Soooo many steps, those Incas must have been fit! There were brief instances when the rain stopped, but the cloud meant it was impossible to see anything!
beyond your own arm! Hard work 16km uphill!

PBB & Thisbe are two *very* different people. People who love each other. But different people.
Nowhere is this more apparent then when they are watching television.
PBB laughs out loud constantly. Indeed, he has woken up the WK with his laughter. Thisbe rarely, if ever, laughs out loud. This does not mean that she does not find something to be funny, but she just doesn't laugh out loud at TV, or when reading a book or magazine, or watching a movie.
There are exceptions to this phenomenon.
One of them is the incredibly stupid, but hilarious movie Just Friends. I have no idea why it is so funny. Maybe no one but Thisbe and PBB think it is funny. But every time Thisbe sees it, she laughs hysterically, out loud. [Anna Faris, I have not given you the credit you deserve: I like girls! DARLA!].
The other exception is a book that Thisbe read a couple of weeks ago. Thisbe will be revealing the name of this book in an upcoming post, however (not to hype it too much): THIS BOOK IS THE FUNNIEST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ.
This book was so awesome that Thisbe is in the process of purchasing it for all of her RL friends, as several of them have upcoming birthdays (ahem, Weef, ahem 5280Mommy) or birthday presents owed to them (ahem, Little Blond), and I have to say, it will be one of my greatest presents ever.
As soon as the books are purchased and distributed, I will write a longer post about it, but I just had to point out: I laughed out loud *through the entire book*. This has never happened before. And I have some funny books.
Today's Project: Keep watching this space, we are now days away from an announcement.
Today's Life Observation: No matter what the dentist says? Getting a cavity filled is not fun.

Recently along with Elana Kundell, I have co-curated an exhibition that will soon open at the Studio Channel Art Galleries in Camarillo, CA. The galleries are the largest art galleries in Ventura County and are housed on the campus of California State University Channel Islands. A gorgeous building with neo-classical arches and columns that mystifies me every time, perhaps due to its elegance and the fact it was once a mental hospital. I am exciting to be filling the space with the work of other artists, my first excersion into the curation process.
The exhibition titled Print Matter(s): California Printmaking Now, presents the work of artists from across the state each using the media of printmaking in their work. The exhibition is presented as a somewhat survey giving a viewer a sense of the wealth of approaches both conceptually and formally artists are using in the print shop today. My next posts will be highlighting the work of the group of artists we selected and my reasons for including them in this show.

I have been a gamer all my life. Not only video games but ALL games be it Table Top Role Playing, Collectable Card games or even Tactical Minature games . To me Video Games were a way for me to live out my imagination and they allowed me to take on the roles of super heroes, knights in shining armor ( ever wonder were I got my Gamertag from?) and larger than life heroes. Of course in the early years of the video gaming industry you had to extend a certainn amount of imagination when it came to the representation of said character on screen due to the graphical limitations of the hardware that was around back then. I remember playing Atari's Pitfall and pretending that I was Luke Skywalker running through Dagobah in Star Wars.
As the years went on , video games became more and more realistic in its potrayal of the worlds and characters leaving less to the imagination and putting it all on the screen in front of us.
The something bad happened. The gaming community came to expect a certain level of quality from game developers. No longer content to experience games as they were made, we instead took to social media and blasted studios and developers for trivial things like graphical quality and gameplay systems even though everyone who made such comments lacked the technical ability to do better themselves.
In short the industry has become privialaged and spoiled and seem to think they DESERVE more and better experiences.
In recent years I have seen a trend where developers are creating " scripted" trailers to promote their games. These trailers usually involve someone playing the game ( single player or multiplayer) and moving at a slower pace , giving players a chance t o absorb the game world around them and even movinng in the game enviroment in such a way that it is more akin to watching a movie versus the real world spastic manner in which most players traverse the enviroment when they get their hands on the game.
A perfect example of this is Tom Clancy's The Division. When this game was unveiled to the public at E3 , we saw a small group of players walking through the streets of Manhattan interactig with the enviroment and talking to each other with a sense of actually being IN the game world. This created a very cool emersion and really did put viewers into the mindset of the game and created a very cool experience.
Here are some tips on how you can take your next gameplay session and get a little bit more emmersion out of it ( Not PVP games because as you know that is just pure chaos)
1: Take time and smell the roses.
Almost all modern games have a button or ability to run/sprint and or move faster than simple walking speed. This is both a blessing and a curse as you tend to move through the enviroments in an effort to get to your next quest location. Developers are now spending more time and resources building amazing worlds that are filled with little details designed to pull you into it.
Youll have plenty of time to run once the action ramps up. Take the quiet moments to appreciate the little things in life.
2: Watch the Cut Scenes
I cant stress how important it is to watch and listen to cut scenes when trying to get more oput of a game experience. I do have friends who simply hit "skip" everytime they are given the option and not just because they have already seen the cut scene or cinematic. Opt in at least once so that you can become more invested in the game. To me its like watching a movie and fast forwarding past all the talking just to get to the action scenes ( Imagine how much better a Michael Bay movie would be if we did that huh?). Resist the urge to skip a cinematic and just take the 30 seconds or so to get a little more attached to the game.
3: Read Everything
Sad as it may be, games have said goodbye to instruction booklets for the most part. Back when I was a younger gamer most games came with a robust manual that not only detailed the games controls but also a breakdown of the levels complete with pictures and in some cases strategy guides to help you.
Modern games now teach you how to play through " tutorial missions" and intro chapters that guide you through the early stages of the game. These also serve to acquaint you with the game world and some of the lore accompanying it. You may find items littered around the environment ranging from things like Books, audio recordings or even links to an out of game source of info ( Destiny took a lot of hate by telling its EPIC story through the use of out of game " Grimoire" cards that you had to go online to read/view)
While tedious these items will go a long way towards connecting you to the game your playing.
As games continue to evolve and deliver increasingly more immersive gamer's will be faced with choices on how much they want to get out of their games. I for one appreciate the amount of love that goes into every video game and challenge all of you to think before you skip the next cut scene you see.

Neutralize it!
Before a dog can begin to feel good about something it's afraid of, it first needs to stop feeling afraid of it. Sounds obvious right? It should be but people will continually expose their dog to something that scares them expecting that the dog is going to figure out that it's ok. It doesn't work that way. Many people believe that if they show their dogs that something isn't going to hurt them that the dog will then no longer be afraid of it. It doesn't work that way. They let people touch their dog, or bring other dogs around to sniff and be friendly, believing that since the outcome is not bad or painful, their dog will not be afraid of it anymore, probably won't happen.
Think about people who are afraid of spiders, snakes, or flying in a plane. Most have never had a bad experience with the things they are afraid of. They've never been bit by a spider or had a boa constrictor wrapped around their neck snuffing out their life, or been in a plane crash. Even knowing that a spider or snake isn't poisonous or that driving in a car is statistically more dangerous than flying, they remain afraid. Every time your dog is exposed to something that scares it, it experiences fear, whether anything bad happens or not. To begin to change how your dog feels about something your first goal is to stop them feeling afraid of it.
Neutralizing your dog's experience with something scary can be done in different ways. It may mean keeping the scary thing far enough away, or making it quieter, or smaller, or less active. At the very least you want your dog's experience of the things that scare it to be as neutral as possible, they see it, they hear it, but are not terrified by it. This is the first step and requires paying attention to your dog's reactions and managing the situations your dog is in.

What a great blog! I'm glad I came across it. I have been on fearfuldogs.com and shy-K9's Yahoo Group in the past as well, looking for advice for my own fearful dog.
I think the key in your post is "as neutral as possible." If we could control our environments 100% of the time, the rehab of these dogs would be all the more easier.
But there are always the people who think they know better, who proclaim "I've had dogs all my life and you need to do it this way." And, sadly, we (or at least I) cannot control these people's actions 100% of the time.
My dog is afraid of my father. She has improved immensely but is still afraid of his eye contact (to some degree) and motion (to a larger degree). Yet the whole slow desensitization process seems futile to him, so I've kind of had to compromise and use a clicker to reward her when she targets him with her nose or relaxes next to him.
IMO, it's better than flooding her by having him walk her or chase him around the house. We'll see if it gets us anywhere.
The work you do with Sunny really is great and I'm sure dogs everywhere are benfiting from the stories you post on the 'net. 🙂
Yeah, in terms of the general public, we'll just walk away. I'm not about to let some know-it-all stranger set my dog back after all the progress we've made. It gets a little more tricky with people like Dad and Aunt so-and-so, though, I'm sure you know what I mean. Especially when my father and I live under the same roof.
I am going to try to see if the women who instruct my obedience class (which my dog loves) would help me out with a slower desensitization and maybe work up to my dog letting them handle her a little more. Maybe a couple of minutes after class or something. At this point, it'd be great to expand her social circle even to just a few more people.
My husband is going to appreciate blog posts like this. He's rather frustrated living with a dog he can't touch. Fortunately he has a great sense of humor because little miss greatly conflicted Finna will take treats directly from his hands, will lick his hands and face and the other day when he was stretched out loving on Ranger Finna curled up against his back and went to sleep. She was physically in contact with him while she was sleeping but he's not allowed to pet her. It's like she trusts every part of him except his hands touching her. She's quite content to have him walk her as long as someone else attaches her leash to her collar. She's an interesting challenge there's no doubt about that. Someday she'll let him pet her and there will be no looking back; in the interim he'll keep feeding her treats, taking her for walks and allowing physical contact while keeping his hands off.

The United States Navy (USN) Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) USS Fort Worth arrived at Singapore's Changi Naval Base today. Amid the search operations of the Air Asia flight, media event was cancelled today. Nonetheless, we welcome USS Fort Worth and wishes Godspeed to the search team from Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Australia.
For those who are keen, this deployment will be the longest USN deployment since USS Midway record breaking tour 40 years ago. USS Fort Worth is different from the Freedom for it is a longer vessel and deployed the MQ-8B FireScout VTUAV, which will enhance aerial surveillance over longer periods.
Edit: The destroyer in the background is the USS Sampson, which has been deployed in the QZ8501 search.

The shower valve is on it's way. I need to plumb it in before I can finish installing all of the backerboard.
I had not used it before but it's fairly easy to work with alone since it's only 5' x 3' sheets. To cut it you simply score it like drywall.
There are screws made specifically for it and you don't have to worry about pops the way you would for drywall. I had to put a sheet of drywall behind the board on the back wall (back of tub) because there was a gap that needed to be filled in so that the rockboard would be over the tub flange.
The side against the wall was okay and I only needed to mount the board without any sheetrock. The only difference between the two is that the backer board needs more screws so the spacing is closer together than sheetrock. The joints get taped and mudded with mortar. After that there is a waterproofing product that is painted on over the board. After that the tile is set.
|Cement backer board in place
The amount of mortar that was on the original floor was much thicker than the new material and that leaves the toilet flange sitting too high. That will need to be adjusted lower soon. It turns out that the pipe is what's known as a lead bend. In other words, the pipe through the floor down to the cast iron is lead. It is "wiped" with lead solder to the brass toilet ring. I'm not looking forward to installing a new ring. Not too many people know how to work with lead anymore but I did find one guy on Youtube who has a video on it.

The celebration of the Ascension is a celebration of triumph: "God mounts his throne to shouts of joy," the Responsorial Psalm proclaims, "a blare of trumpets for the Lord!" Having accomplished his mission on earth, Jesus returns to the glory of heaven. He "who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality to God as something to be exploited, but emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, being born in human likeness; and being found in human form, humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death – even death on a cross…" he returns now "ascended" "exalted" to the rewarding embrace of his Father: "Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knew should bend, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father" (Phil: 2:6-11). The glory of the Ascension is enveloped in the mystery of the Father's love for us, his refusal to disavow this love despite our sin, his sending of his Son to manifest this love, a love that freely embraced his "necessary" suffering, death and resurrection. "O necessary sin of Adam… O happy fault" we cry at Easter, "that earned so great and glorious a Redeemer!" (Exultet). It is in this context of Jesus' "mission accomplished," that the Ascension is celebrated. It is the guarantee of our redemption, as it is the ultimate promise of our future in oneness with Jesus in heaven.
It is in this context that Jesus gives us his Ascension Day command: "Go into the whole world, and proclaim the gospel to every creature. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; whoever does not believe will be condemned…" (Mk 16:15). Life is not just the drudgery or suffering of today. This is a message those who struggle to remain honest while making ends meet often forget, a message which those who suffer in sickness and old age must always remember: There is a tomorrow in Jesus' triumph.
What is triumph for Jesus, is hope for us and challenge. What is heaven for Jesus now, is heaven for us, but not yet. Through the Spirit we continue to labor on earth at the side of "the Resurrected Jesus still Carrying his Cross" for the realization of his Kingdom. We continue to take responsibility for our Earthly City – even though we realize its ultimate fulfillment is only in heaven. This is why, in the care for our Earthly City, we care for the structures which allow us to live together in the peace, harmony and dignity of the children of God, even if imperfectly. In the Philippines, insofar as we can discern, our democracy mediates the actual human society that we can realize at this point in history, and it is through free elections that we choose the women and men whom we believe will govern us in pursuit of the common good. That is the common good of a plural society, where many, fortunately, think differently from us, and many, unfortunately, are still selfish and sinful. When we vote, therefore, we do not vote just to advance our private interests, though this is certainly possible. We vote to advance a common, shared, humane society. We vote, and, as circumstances require, we act, often at great price, to ensure that the mechanisms of our free democracy are not undermined by evil.
But today is also Mother's Day. It is indeed only fitting that there is one day in the year that we set aside to remember our mothers, and give thanks. Our Catholic Church is referred to as "Mother Church," and the particular bias of our culture refers to our nation not in terms of the Latin "patria" for fatherland, but in terms of mother. Recall the beautiful statue in the Luneta dedicated to "La Madre Filipina"! But in our homes, as in our hearts, "mother" is she who bore us in her womb, who endured for us the pains of childbirth, who fed us from her breasts, who saw to it we were properly and cleanly clothed, who cooked our favorite foods, who encouraged us at our studies, who was always sensitive to our problems, and who in times of crisis listened to our pain from her heart. It was she who plotted and schemed for our birthday surprises, and she who made our Christmases so special. Today, through a Mass, through a whispered prayer of gratitude, through an exquisite waling-waling, a singular rose, or special spray of sampaguita, our message to our mothers is heartfelt: Thank you. We love you. We owe so much to you!
As we pray for La Madre Filipina and resolve to vote on Monday to honor and strengthen her, we remember our mothers in gratitude, and look forward to the day when in Heaven we come face to face with the Heavenly Mother who despite our shortcoming and sins never forgot us, never turned her back on us. In this context, the words of Fr. Manoling's masterpiece based on Is. 49 15 are most moving:
Malilimutan ba ng ina
ang anak na galing sa kanya?
Sanggol sa kanyang sinapupunan
paano n'yang matatalikdan?
Ngunit kahit na malimutan ng ina
ang anak n'yang tangan
Hindi kita malilimutan
Kailan ma'y hindi pababayaan
Hindi kita malilimutan
Kailan ma'y hindi pababayaan
Can a mother ever forget
her nursing child
or show no compassion for the
child of her womb?
Even if these should forget,
I will never forget you.
I will never forget you.

FamilyLife Today with the Raineys had a week on manhood last week. Having a man for a husband & two up & coming young ones to raise up, I was interested. The last two in particular looked good – about women's influence. Those are the only ones I've heard so far but they're EXCELLENT! Both for wifing & mothering boys. (Now that I've heard those two, the first three are a definite listen.)
Their May 10th & 11th broadcast was Barbara talking to women about the stages of manhood & what we do to hinder or encourage our men to either go through those stages or get stuck at adolescence, etc. Good stuff! I want to keep the info for my own reference as well as to pass along in women's groups as able.
Click here for the link.
You can subscribe to the podcast or listen/read the transcript on their site.
Basic outline for reference…
Five steps to a being a man:
1 – boyhood
2 – adolescence
3 – manhood
4 – mentoring
5 – patriarch
Things wives/moms do to hinder them getting through those steps:
1 -Feed his childishness by being a child herself.
1 Peter 3:9 – Don't repay evil for evil. Don't retaliate with insults when people insult you. Instead, pay them back with a blessing. That is what God has called you to do, and he will bless you for it.
2 – Enable him in his weaknesses and his addictions, and don't speak the truth.
Romans 13:14 – Instead, clothe yourself with the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. And don't let yourself think about ways to indulge your evil desires.
3 – Treat him like a boy or speaking to him like he's a boy, speaking down to him.
Romans 12:3 – Don't think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us.
4 – Have negative expectations.
5 – Turn his heart away from God. (Solomon)
Things we can do to encourage:
1 – Choose maturity for ourselves.
2 – Speak the truth to him in love. (Esther)
Proverbs 16:21 – The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive.
3 – Praise him when he does step up to manhood.
Ephesians 4:29 – Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.
4 – Believe in him that he can become a godly man.
Luke 1:37 – For nothing is impossible with God.
5 – Pursuing godliness ourselves.
Hebrews 4:15,16 – This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin. So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.

I discovered one of the most wonderful children's books, titled Sophie's Masterpiece: A Spider's Tale , written by Eileen Spinelli and illustrated by Jane Dyer. Sophie's Masterpiece is a beautiful tale of a spider named Sophie who spins extraordinarily lovely webs of very fine lace which awe everyone who comes across them. Sophie moves into an old boarding house where she meets a young pregnant woman who is in the process of knitting a layette for her unborn baby. The woman cannot afford to buy any more yarn for a blanket for the baby, so Sophie, now old and frail, weaves a very special blanket for the new arrival. A heartfelt and sentimental story (aka, a tear-jerker), Sophie's Masterpiece is also openly homebirth friendly, as, and the culmination of the story, and without any further description, Sophie describes finally hearing the newborn:
She was down to the farthest corner of the blanket when she heard the cry of the young woman's newborn baby.Sophie's Masterpiece is now one of my all time favorite picture books, up there with Welcome With Love, written by Jenni Overend and illustrated by Julie Vivas, The Napping House, written by Audrey Wood and illustrated by Don Wood, and Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day by Judith Viorst. Sophie's Masterpiece has beautiful artwork, and the (undeclared) homebirth and the knitting/weaving references made my week!
The book also reminded me of all the blankets I have knit with love as gifts for others. I have made a number of baby blankets and one or two full sized throw blankets. Some of the blankets were very simple, some rather complex, but all were fun to make! Blankets are one thing I have a passion for knitting, that's for sure.
The very first blanket I knit was from JoAnne Turcotte's pattern Building Blocks Blanket, which I call Blocks of Love. I knit this blanket for Evelyn when she was two years old. Now, I'm not so crazy about the color or the yarn, but you live and learn, right? This was a very easy beginner pattern to follow.
The second baby blanket I knit is Feather and Fan Baby Blanket, also by JoAnne Turcotte, and was one of the more complex patterns I had followed up to that point! This one was also for Evelyn at two or three years old. I was very pleased with myself, and I call this one Light as a Feather!
With Lion Brand's pattern Diagonal Comfort Blanket, I knit two or three blankets as baby shower gifts, one out of a cotton blend in tan, brown, and green stripes, one out of a lovely yellow and green variegated wool-blend, and one out of Lion Brand Homespun. The Homespun was my favorite yarn to use, as it draped perfectly, plus I love bulky yarns; here is a picture (the only picture of any of them that I can find right now!):
One of my very favorite blankets is featured in the book Weekend Knitting by Melanie Falick, and the pattern is Fluffy Afghan or Lap Blanket by Nicky Epstein. I picked up Lion Brand Homespun for this project because I wanted something bulky and fluffy, but I was somewhat doubtful about the texture. I need not have worried, though, because now that the blanket is done, I am very happy with it. It is extremely soft and relatively thick, good for cold winter nights curled up by the fire and is super soft and fluffy!
As a holiday gift for Esme, I knit a Bunny Blanket Buddy from another Lion Brand pattern. This Snuggle Bunny is knit out of light blue cotton and is destined to have a set of eyes, a little nose and whiskers. I still have a couple months to add the finishing touches!
The blanket I am working on now is Evelyn's holiday gift. The pattern is Joseph's Blankie of Many Colors from Kay Gardiner and Ann Shayne's book Mason-Dixon Knitting.
When I was knitting the third block on the blanket, Eva came in and asked what I was making. I told her it was a present for her. She kept guessing various odds and ends that it could be… a scarf… a hat… a pocket… a bonnet (she said, "I don't really want a bonnet, but if you make a bonnet, I would try to like it, so it would be ok, I think")… a flag… I was laughing my head off! Then Esme came in, took one look at my knitting and said, "Is that a blanket, Mama?" Hahahaha!
I am making headway on the Blanket of Many Colors, but here is the project as of about two weeks ago (I have another complete row of various colors around done now):
I have a queue of projects to keep me busy for a year from now, and three of those projects are blankets for various destinations. It seems like I never knit anything for myself, although hopefully after the holiday season, I will get something done!
Oh yeah, sign up for Ravelry, a free knitting and crochet community, if you are not a member yet, and check out my page to see my latest projects!

Starts Next Tuesday, Feb 3rd
Syllabus: 2015 Spring Session Tuesday Morning Bible Seminar, HNEC
Mentor & Sponsor: Tom Weller
Place: Mary Stuart Poole Library. Use either door. The street door is probably more convenient for those who park on 3rd Street.
When: Tuesday mornings 10:00 to 11:15. Please arrive between 9:30 and 10:00 for coffee, a slight snack, and to visit. Kindly be on time so as not to enter during our prayer or disrupt the class startup. We sit down at 10:00, convene with prayer at 10:05, and adjourn promptly at 11:15 so people can keep lunch plans.
Class Schedule: February 3, 10, 17, 24. March 3, 10, 17, 24.
No class March 31
(Holy Week, priests are frantic). April 7, 14, 21, 28. May 5, 12, 19, 26. We have a child at college, so if I need to cancel a session to go to some college event I will let you know. Because people's personal and family schedules vary and change, everyone misses some sessions. No one is expected to attend all sessions. Each session stands on its own so that there's no catching up to do if you miss. People are expected to come when they want to and miss when they can't come, but if you'll be absent it's helpful if you tell us (
Study. Our first two sessions will continue the Gospel according to Mark that we studied our Fall 2014 Session: one or two sessions beginning with Mark chapter 10 with Secret Mark "restored," and we will discuss Secret Mark again to get back into form. After that, we decide as a group what to read and study. Mostly, this is not a devotional style Bible study but variation of the so-called "critical" approach used in Bible courses at "mainline church" seminaries. By the way, "critical" does not mean throwing stones, it means probing history, form, text, editing, perhaps especially trying to grasp what the author wrote and meant to say and to whom and when; and how and why the text may have been changed after being written. It's enormous fun and always respectful and reverent.
Material. If you have a Study Bible, bring it, any translation is fine, it's interesting to have a variety in class. If you do not have a Study Bible, that also is fine. We have a lot of them to lend out; most of ours are New Revised Standard Version.
Thanks for joining us. Enjoy!

Well tomorrow they will be one week old. We are managing not to kill them, so all is good.
On Monday, a gentleman came by from a neighboring town, and he bought these three little critters. So in about a week, they will go to their new ranch to become accustomed to their new herd.
Hunter was the only one that was sniffly over this.... he has had 3 playmates here for the week.... and he has had lots of fun climbing around with them all afternoon.
Pictures are posted on a slide show to the left... they are just pretty darned cute!... out nieghbor is a Vet.... and occasionally I will catch him looking over at them, watching them play and jump and he just has the goofiest grin on his face....

Former star of TV's Full House reveals in her new book her secret battle with an eating disorder. Candace Cameron Bure's Bulimia battle didn't begin until after the show went off the air in 1995.
She goes on to say that it's a disease that consumed her life and took her a long time to beat. She explains that the disorder was all about emotions for her.
Best remembered for her roll on Full House, Candace Cameron Bure is now 34 years old. Her book is titled Reshaping It All. She's married to Hockey star Valeri Bure.

It all started with my sister showing me her roll around cart. It was a simple project that morphed into what you are about to see. I just can't leave well enough alone.
I took a trip to the local Target and picked up a nice heavy duty Rubbermaid type 4 drawer roll around cart style cabinet...after I loaded it up with all my stuff I quickly realized that rolling it on the tile with all that weight the wheels literally came off...so off to Harbor Freight we went and picked up a light duty furniture dolly to set the cart on. I had a couple of sheets of pegboard that was just behind a door that held strands of beads, findings, etc. for a few months. I screwed one of the pieces of pegboard to the back of the cart (not only had the wheels fallen off but it became "rickety" from rolling across the tile) which gave it immediate stability! Since the pegboard was taller than the cart I also had storage on the back side of the pegboard (seen standing in front of the cart) for more storage. I then drilled holes on both sides to hang my bead bins (aka hardware storage bins usually found in a garage for screws and such) and hung one on each side of the cart using pegboard hooks. To make it easier to roll around, since the furniture dolly is slightly wider than the cart, I screwed a cup hook on each end of the furniture dolly exposed top and one into the end of a stick long enough to use as a handle... :)
TA DAAAAAAAAA!!! Works perfectly as a roll around cart that can be stashed away in a corner (note...clean out corner to store cart in. LOL).

text: I you are like me and you use Windows Vista and have always wanted to use the Sideshow application but didn't quite really understand what it did or just didn't have a device that you could use. Well if you have a PSP then you have a sideshow capable device. I thought this was one of the most coolest things I got to work when I downloaded an app called PSPdisp v0.3 whcih I believe is the latest version. First I thought you just could see your computer screen on your PSP which is cool but not much you can do with it. Then I went into options and started looking around and saw it mentioned Sideshow and what do you know it worked and my PSP was a Sideshow device in no time. You can download several gadgets that extend onto your PSP such as Windows Mail, RSS feeds, Dice Rolling and a few others as well. I just thought I would share this with you guys since I thought it was interesting and finally a way to get use out of the Sideshow capabilities on Vista. So if you want the app head over to qj.net where I downloaded it from and get started for yourself.

Careless and Callous
Accumulation of Inherited (Antiquarian) Art
Part One
Accumulation of inherited (antiquarian) fine art
Accumulation of inherited (antiquarian) decorative art
I won't touch the rare books
In the domestic library.
Those are not 'rare'Anyway.
'Careful' is always my first step, when offered a chance to admire. I suppose it is 'admire'. That is never said (stated). Admire... that is quite the word to use... 'of inheritance'. So that is another 'issue' I notice right away: There is 'the stuff' and there is the
Admiration of 'the stuff'. A fork in the road
That is careless and callous.
Okay so that doesn't look like it could be fun... does it... should one be
"Called to carpet". Especially if that (old) carpet was "upstairs in that room I never go in who would have thought (that by preserving) the carpet in there (from pet pee et al)":
"I knew it was there and I want it." retorted one of the heirs". They didn't get it in the end.
I did
They... "wouldn't pay THAT for it". They retorted.
Are we having fun or a raucous? "Damn if I know!" Or care. Except for... the consideration of 'accumulation'. If they don't buy the good rug then they are choosing their inherited rugs between 'leavings and scrapings'. The other old carpets in the rooms 'are nothing'. But their 'value' seems low enough that they could be... almost... 'free'.
"I thought inheriting art (fine and decorative) was free. I didn't realize that it was appraised. And I didn't realize... that is I thought... when it was said 'to be appraised' that this was anything more than denoting the 'things' that are 'nice'
In the house
"Oh... that's too bad."
Yes: "Free". The collection ...one has... was "free". I know... it is no longer free. The 'collection' is 'valuable'. Or is it an accumulation
Of inherited decorative and fine art
Of modest merit and monetary value that
Due to consideration of those aspects, one has
"Got them" (the inherited art 'that')
And keep it
To foist an 'admire'
Here, there and "I am where?"
That.... to the knowing (art trained) "I" (eye)...
Is careless and callous.
"OH GOD: We are STUCK in the MUCK."
"Oh... now... just back out graciously and shut-up. Everyone has had enough of the 'admire' of the 'inherited'
It was so much easier when the 'call to carpet' was still upstairs in the 'guest bedroom' where the dogs never peed on it. "I DIDN'T KNOW"
Is careless and callous
(Crass and tacky)
"Oh just hang it in the front hall". No one will ever think that painting actually shows off what you know about 'art' (your taste) (unqualified) and antiquarian fine art. "English gentlemen do not accumulate old fine art" They collect? Hardly. One time; it was whimsical, "he bought that". It was after lunch and the painting was in the gallery's window. He 'liked it".
Slow down is what I do. Next. One day one time one painting bought once... there... hanging there. (I) Don't say anything. They will never know. "Let's look around at ALL the OTHER paintings (you have in your
You know; a 'good' painting should take your breath away when you first see it. It's not an 'oh THERE is ONE; an old oil painting... in its frame. Yes: THERE. About halfway down the hall on the left. Or on the wall of the 'first floor stair landing'. Or... "they put it way back up in the attic after he died we found it". That's always fun... to find.
But keep in mind
It should take one's breath away.
If it doesn't do that then it is an 'is one'. No question about it: It IS ONE, an inherited fine art awaiting the 'your accumulation' that I am shown to... 'admire'.
And spend the rest of it (tour of admiration) hoping I can 'get through' without the "WE ARE
IT (the inherited accumulation)."
"I am NOT thinking of BUYING
IT (the inherited accumulation)."
So I admire it a little more
And step out the door
"So careless and callous of you."
Yes... but it works.
Wasp etiquette is what happens next. It (the inherited accumulation) just sits there. Like it always has. No one ever collected. They accumulated. When it was free. "KEEPING THAT" they did for seven generations. "Now we're cleaning out". "Down sizing". "Getting rid of some THINGS"
"We don't want".
"Didn't ever BOTHER with this before. Suppose we should have. Quite a SURPRISE. There is an old INVENTORY. We gave it to the lawyer. He's having it looked into. Suppose to be someone to come along and look. Cannot suppose you'll be the only one. Several opinions will show the better value I'm SURE. FATHER always said THAT ONE was an especially GOOD PAINTING. It doesn't feel right to just take it down from the wall like that watch you just walk out the DOOR with it. Better we look into it some more. Really: Most of the artworks are quite good you know. 'LISTED ARTISTS' they said. The inventory has that typed in bold.
Do I get through this? Or does it get through to you? Or both. Whenever? Hard to say isn't it. Why? Because you don't know. Careless and callous is the knowing one of inherited (fine and decorative) art. They "like" "that" and "want" "that" and show me "THAT" and "were wondering if" "THAT" is "if we talk to my brother, I THINK it is actually HIS WIFE who WANTS...
"Well we don't really know what to do since the appraisal was done. We didn't KNOW."
That we would
FROM the estate. WE THOUGHT WE ARE the estate. But that (the estate) is actually right here and WE have to come HERE to it
"And admire it?"
"Yes, I guess that is a way of looking at it isn't it; admiration. What happens next?"

Decided: July 15, 1991.
TOWN OF MORRISTOWN, PLAINTIFF-APPELLANT,v.WOMAN'S CLUB OF MORRISTOWN AND ATTORNEY GENERAL OF NEW JERSEY, DEFENDANTS-RESPONDENTS
On certification to the Superior Court, Appellate Division, whose opinion is reported at 242 N.J. Super. 654 (1990).
Chief Justice Wilentz and Justices O'Hern, and Stein join in this opinion. Justice Clifford has filed a separate dissenting opinion in which Justice Handler joins. Justice Pollock did not participate.
This appeal concerns a statutory exemption from New Jersey real-estate taxes by New Jersey for buildings owned by nonprofit corporations and officially certified as historic sites. N.J.S.A. 54:4-3.52. Plaintiff, Town of Morristown, urges that the statute on its face violates the requirement under the tax article of the New Jersey constitution that "property shall be assessed for taxation under general laws and by uniform rules." N.J. Const. art. VIII, § 1, para. 1(a). More specifically, it urges that the Dr. Condit House, a certified historic site owned by defendant Woman's Club of Morristown, is not exempt from taxes under N.J.S.A. 54:4-3.52.
Woman's Club, a nonprofit corporation, was organized in 1931 for the "promotion of higher social and moral conditions and to study civic, social and cultural subjects." Among its members' charitable nonprofit activities are conducting social services for hospitalized patients and persons in nursing homes,
[124 NJ Page 608]
raising and awarding of scholarship funds, serving as hospital and church volunteers, and organizing holiday drives to collect and distribute food and toys for needy families. Since 1939, Woman's Club has held tax-exempt status under what is now section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, on the basis that "the sponsorship of civic activities are the predominant purpose of the organization." As a 501(c)(3) organization, none of Woman's Club income "is credited to surplus or inures to the benefit of any private individual."
In 1971, the Commissioner of the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) certified the Dr. Condit House as a State Historic Site. The Commissioner described the site as a "fine example of New Jersey's historic heritage." He awarded the Certificate of Historic Site in recognition of "the historic value of this site to the history and government of . . . New Jersey and to transmit the same unimpaired to succeeding generations." At the time the site first received local tax exemption in 1972, Woman's Club had leased part of the building for commercial purposes. That year, despite the certification, Morristown issued a standard tax assessment of the property. Following an appeal by Woman's Club, the Morris County Board of Taxation (Tax Board) reduced the assessment to zero. Since 1972, the Dr. Condit House has remained tax exempt under N.J.S.A. 54:4-3.52 as a historic site. In 1987, Morristown again challenged the grant of the tax exemption for the property.
The Dr. Condit house contains three stories and a basement. At the time of the 1987 contested assessment, Woman's Club members and local church groups held pro bono activities such as fund-raising lunches for charities in the building, and local senior citizens used the auditorium for their lunches. In addition, to provide financial support for its nonprofit programs and its maintenance and preservation of the property, the Woman's Club leased a portion of the building to various commercial tenants. The basement of the older portion of the building was unfinished except for a small office area leased by a real-estate broker; Woman's Club used the remainder of the basement as
[124 NJ Page 609]
a storage area. The real-estate broker also occupied approximately one-half of the first floor area. Woman's Club used the other part of the first floor as an office, a library, a sitting area, and a kitchen. The auditorium provided space for certain Woman's Club functions but was also used by a tenant for a dance and performing-arts studio. That tenant also occupied the basement area located below the stage. Woman's Club leased the second and third floors for private business use as physicians', attorneys' and business offices. In 1989, Woman's Club received approximately $60,000 in rent from its commercial clients. The parties have stipulated that projected operating expenses for 1987-88 totalled roughly $41,600.
Morristown challenged the property's exemption for the 1987 tax year. The Tax Board affirmed the original assessment following Morristown's appeal. Morristown then filed a complaint against the Woman's Club in the Tax Court, arguing that the statute was unconstitutional because it links property-tax exemptions to the owner's status and not the property's use, or, alternatively, that a historical-use requirement should form part of the statutory interpretation. It argued, therefore, that the property did not qualify for an exemption and should be subject to an assessment for 1987 pursuant to N.J.S.A. 54:4-27. Because the complaint challenged the statute's constitutionality, the court permitted the Attorney General to intervene as a party-defendant.
In upholding the constitutionality of N.J.S.A. 54:4-3.52, the Tax Court found a legislative intent that "an historic site owned by a nonprofit corporation must have a public purpose use." Town of Morristown v. Woman's Club, 10 N.J. Tax 309, 321 (1989). The court determined that without such a use requirement, the legislation would violate the constitutional requirement that exemptions be granted by general laws. Id. at 319. The court then concluded that the use of the Dr. Condit House for commercial purposes did not accord with that public-purpose-use requirement; therefore the property was not exempt from taxation. Id. at 321.
[124 NJ Page 610]
The Appellate Division reversed. Although it agreed that tax exemption statutes based solely on a property owner's status would violate the constitution, the court found that a statutory exemption premised on the public purpose and works of a nonprofit corporation was a sufficiently substantial, reasonable, and logical categorization to satisfy constitutional requirements without grafting on a public use requirement as the Tax Court had done. In so deciding, the court identified the issue as "whether N.J.S.A. 54:4-3.52 is constitutional, not whether it would be more faithful to constitutional principles by the addition of a use requirement."
We granted certification. N.J. (1990).
Well-established principles of statutory construction direct us to look first to the statute's plain language to derive its meaning, absent any specific indication of legislative intent to the contrary. Kimmelman v. Henkels & McCoy, Inc., 108 N.J. 123, 128 (1987); Mortimer v. Board of Review, 99 N.J. 393, 398 (1985). To address the challenges to the statute, we must also consider the statute in light of governing constitutional principles of taxation and exemption.
The statute provides that:
Any building and its pertinent contents and the land whereon it is erected and which may be necessary for the fair enjoyment thereof owned by a nonprofit corporation and which has been certified to be an historic site to the Director of the Division of Taxation by the Commissioner of Conservation and Economic Development as hereinafter provided shall be exempt from taxation.
Its plain language thus indicates only two requirements for tax exemption: (1) ownership by a nonprofit corporation; and (2) certification of the property as a historic site. Nothing in the statute requires that the property be used in any way with
[124 NJ Page 611]
respect to its historical purpose apart from action necessary to maintain historic-site status.
Nor do any of the related statutes regarding historic sites impose a use requirement. N.J.S.A. 54:4-3.53 requires that the Commissioner of DEP, after consultation with specified authorities, certify a building as a historic site whenever "such building * * * [has] material relevancy to the history of the State and its government warranting its preservation as an historical site." The statute further directs that if a restoration proceeds, the building must be "substantially the same kind, character and description as the original." Ibid. N.J.S.A. 54:4-3.54 provides that if substantial change occurs in a building or premises, the Commissioner may cancel its certification.
No formal legislative history addresses the absence of a use requirement in the statute. However, a legislative memorandum from the acting director of the Division of Taxation to the Deputy State Treasurer contrasted the absence of a use requirement as a prerequisite for exemption with the presence of such an obligation in another statute, N.J.S.A. 54:4-3.6 (tax exemption for properties "actually" and/or "exclusively" used for specified purposes). That indicates that the Legislature made a conscious choice in creating the statute without a use requirement. Moreover, in considering legislative intent, we note the many other exemption statutes that contain use requirements. See, e.g., N.J.S.A. 54:4-3.3, -3.5, -3.6, -3.10, -3.15, -3.24, -3.26, -3.27, all of which were enacted prior to N.J.S.A. 54:4-3.52. The express adoption of use requirements in those statutes strengthens our conclusion that the Legislature would have provided a requirement for "use" had it intended to do so. It did not.
We must therefore address the constitutional challenges in light of the statute's plain language and clear import. To perform that task, we first turn to the guiding principles of
[124 NJ Page 612]
taxation as embodied in the constitution, requiring that taxation of all real property be imposed only by uniform rules and exemption be accomplished only by general laws. The pertinent language provides as follows:
1. (a) Property shall be assessed for taxation under general laws and by uniform rules. All real property assessed and taxed locally or by the State for allotment and payment to taxing districts shall be assessed according to the same standard of value, except as otherwise permitted herein, and such property shall be taxed at the general tax rate of the taxing district in which the property is situated for the use of such taxing district.
2. Exemption from taxation may be granted only by general laws. Until otherwise provided by law all exemptions from taxation validly granted and now in existence shall be continued. Exemptions from taxation may be altered or repealed, except those exempting real and personal property used exclusively for religious, educational, charitable or cemetery purposes, as defined by law, and owned by any corporation or association organized and conducted exclusively for one or more of such purposes and not operating for profit.
[N.J. Const. art. VIII, § 1.]
We last construed the interaction of those provisions in New Jersey State League of Municipalities v. Kimmelman, 105 N.J. 422 (1987). In that case, the plaintiffs challenged a statute that delayed taxation of unoccupied, newly-constructed single-family dwellings. We declared the statute invalid, holding that the constitutional requirement of uniformity would not tolerate such tax exemptions based on the status of the owner and enacted for the special aid of a single industry. Id. at 423-24.
In reaching that conclusion we reviewed the historical development that led to the enactment of the uniformity and exemption clauses in the current constitution. Developments before and during the 1947 Convention involving the Legislature's preferential treatment of the railroad industry informed the debate about real property in taxation. As a result of its dominant position in the 1800s, the railroad industry obtained a virtual exemption from taxation. In 1875, a tax clause imposed the first limited restraint on that industry:

February 13, 1953
Appeal, No. 64, Jan. T., 1953, from decree of Orphans' Court of Montgomery County, No. 44,870, in Estate of Annie G. Boyer, deceased. Decree affirmed.
William F. Fox, with him Fox, Differ and Honeyman, for appellants.
Paul P. Wisler, with him Wisler, Pearlstine, Talone & Gerber and George A. Butler, for appellee.
Before Stern, C.j., Stearne, Jones, Bell, Chidsey and Arnold, JJ.
Author: Stearne
[ 372 Pa. Page 554]
The single question presented by this appeal is whether a pecuniary legacy in a codicil is cumulative or substitutionary. The court below ruled that the legacy is cumulative, and from that ruling the appeal is taken.
The professionally drawn will of Annie G. Boyer, the testatrix, had its thirty-four items respectively indicated by Roman numerals. Probated with this will is the holographic codicil consisting of five items which testatrix also indicated by Roman numerals. They were respectively numered, I, IV, IX, XIX and XXVI. Similarly numbered items appear in the will. Except where otherwise indicated to the contrary, the question of testamentary construction is whether or not testatrix intended to revoke certain items in the will and substitute therefor the similarly numbered items of the codicil. Thus, item I of the will bequeaths "my diamond bar pin and ring to my sister, Jennie Curren, absolutely. All the rest of my jewelry, clothing and personal effects, I give and bequeath to my husband, J. Frank Boyer, absolutely." Item I of the codicil gives her "diamond pin-wrist watch and ring" to her sister. The dispositive item of the codicil is silent concerning the gift of the rest of the jewelry, clothing and personal effects to her husband. Apparently the parties considered that such bequest to the husband in the will was not revoked by the codicil because the delivery thereof to the husband is noted in the petition for adjudication.
Item IV of the will is revoked by item IV of the codicil. Testatrix expressly states that this gift in the codicil is in substitution for that in the will. In the codicil she wrote "Valid" after enumerated articles IX and XIX. The corresponding numbers in the will are
[ 372 Pa. Page 555]
(IX) gift of $500 to a named cousin and (XIX) gift of $1,000 to a named church.
In the will the following items appear: "ITEM V. I give and bequeath to my dear friend, Teresa M. O'Neill, the sum of One Thousand Dollars, absolutely."
By item XII the residuary estate was placed in trust to pay the income to testatrix's husband for life and upon his decease to pay the corpus as therein provided. The husband was named as executor. He filed his account, and all legacies then payable were duly paid. The husband, life ...

This past month, I have been working through activities and worksheets that address digital citizenship and the ITC outcomes mandated by Alberta Learning. One activity that went really well with my grade 3 students is the webpage evaluation sheet we completed. To conduct this activity you'll need to select a few webpages that vary in accuracy and information. Once you have selected your webpages, start with the evaluation of a good or average webpage. This way students can see examples of good characteristics of a webpage. The example I used with my students is http://1st-ecofriendlyplanet.com/11/time-to-decompose-garbage/ .
For our first evaluation we read through the categories together and discussed why we would put a check mark in the yes or no column. The two categories we analyzed were the format/style of the webpage (how it looks) and the content of the webpage (what we learned). After completing the two categories we answered the following questions:
What did you learn from this webpage?
Was this Website helpful (or unhelpful) in finding the information you were looking for? Please explain why…
Is there something you want to learn more about? (I wonder…)
Through this first activity we discovered that the webpage was helpful in learning about garbage decomposition. We thought it was informative and taught us something new. The facts were easy to read and well explained. Some of the questions the students asked were:
I wonder why we use glass bottles if they take 500 years to decompose?
How long would it take to decompose 70 bottles?
I wonder why we use glass bottles?
I wonder how long it takes to decompose paper, bubble wrap and cotton?
How many recyclables go into the garbage each year?
Attached is the evaluation sheet I adapted from Kathleen Schrock (http://kathyschrock.net).
If you have suggestions for other webpages to evaluate, please write your suggestion in the comment box.

In my part of the world, "The Green Hills of Tyrol" is a staple of massed band performances. You can count on hearing it at some point at the beginning and end of each games day. It's also used frequently for pipe band tuning—the second part is quite effective, since you are basically playing down the scale from High A. But this little workhorse of a tune is one of the oldest pipe band tunes in our repertoire today, and has quite an amazing story.

text: Ok so I'm probably going to get kicked off of here for this but here it goes. Does anyone on here know of a way to decrease, yes Decrease, the amount of thc in marijuana? Im not talking in terms of growing I mean lowering the thc levels in something already cultivated. I know I'm gonna hear how Im disrespecting weed or whatever else but here is why I ask. Make no mistake I love marijuana, the problem is I grew up smoking reg, good weed was pretty damn rare back in the day and now it seems like reg/mids is pretty rare and hard to find these days so I have no choice but to smoke "loud" aka this crazy shit with waaaaay more thc than I need. Some of this shit damn near gives me a heart attack after only a hit 2, if im feeling like a daredevil. Yeah I just cant handle it, no matter how hard I try. I still smoke everyday a few times a day and I feel like im not able to build a tolerance. Every once in a great while I'll manage to find some reg and im like "ok, now this is weed, the weed I know and love" and then I get stuck with loud and im like "ok this is super weed thats probably gonna fucking kill me if I hit it too hard" so yeah I really need some good help and advice here cause I'm tires of having a panic attack every goddamn time I try to smoke. I'm seriously thinking about quitting until someone in the industry realizes that there is still very much a market out there for weaker weed. Like I said no matter what I do I can't seem to regain my tolarence for it and reg is really fucking hard to come by hence why I need a surefire way to get some of the thc out of my bud without killing it completely. Please Please Help!!!!

The latest science behind restoring and preserving art. From BBC News:
Porcupine quills and cactus spines are among the tools used to prepare a £1m hoard of Viking treasure that went on public show in York on 17 September.
We will never know if the Vikings who buried a princely hoard of silver in a gilded cup near Harrogate in the 10th century expected to see it again.
They surely did not anticipate that the treasure would emerge from the earth after 1,100 years, to be set upon by highly-skilled conservators wielding items such as quills and ultrasound vibrators.
But that is what has happened.
After a "quick turn-round" in the conservation department of the British Museum (BM) the hoard – or some of it; only some 100 of 617 coins have yet been cleaned – is ready to go on show at the Yorkshire Museum.
Much more work remains to be done, say the conservators – but already they are enthusiastic about the quality of the find.
"We had a very tight turn-round time and very few people to deliver it. We were trying to get this to look as good as possible in the least time possible… We only had two or three weeks," says Fleur Shearman, a metals conservator at the BM.
But, she adds: "apart from soil encrustations and the corrosion related to the lead and a little bit related to the copper in the cup, it's in superb, really outstanding condition."

Yesterday afternoon we stopped by one of those fireworks tents to pick out some to do in our backyard. This was a great decision on our parts for 2 reason,
1. The guy running the tent gave us a great price on a big pack and even threw in some free individual fountains. He didn't want to pack them up for another year! Sometimes procrastination works out for the best!
2. Is summed up in a quote by Seth after we lit one of the fountains: "THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN ABOUT!! YEAH!" While pumping his fist in the air.
Breathtaking huh?! Apparently my 5 year old thinks so! :)
The sunset was lovely though!

What a day...
Today is my dear friend Matt Shelton's birthday. (Happy birthday, fella!)
I feel, though, like I'm getting all the gifts.
This morning, I talked to Greg McMichael, former pitcher for the Atlanta Braves. Awesome.
A little bit later, the phone rang.
"Jake, this is Bill Williams," said our version of Walter Cronkite. He called to thank me for an article I'd written on his speech to the Northside Kiwanis Club.
Last night, I heard from my friend Inman Majors, who has a new book coming out in August.
Just a few minutes ago, I heard from Marshal Andy Smalls' son, Drew. He called to tell me about a new country music singer Andy thought I'd like.
I don't know what I've done to deserve all this, but thank you! You folks have no idea how much I needed a good day.

A 49-year-old man is being questioned in connection with the death of the elderly aunt of "Dateline NBC" anchor Stone Phillips.
The man, whose name has not been released, remained in the Ellis
County Jail late Sunday night.
Authorities say the man led investigators Friday night to an abandoned farmhouse outside Bardwell where they found the body of 81-year-old Doris Phillips.
Phillips disappeared from her Reagor Springs home on July 26th. The Ellis County Sheriff's Department would not say how the woman died.
Lieutenant Clint Tims says the investigation is ongoing.
The man being held is described as a longtime friend of the woman. He was linked with an undisclosed item missing from the woman's home and has been charged with burglary.
Bardwell is about 40 miles southeast of Dallas.
