February 9, 2006. By Evelyn Pringle
New research has linked the use of SSRIs during pregnancy to a complication in newborns of a rare but life-threatening lung problem, according to this month's New England Journal of Medicine. Infants born to women who took the drugs in the second half of their pregnancy, had 6 times the risk of developing the disorder, the researchers reported.
Only a couple of days ago on February 7, 2006, WebMD reported a new study from Israel, in which about one out of three newborns exposed to antidepressants in the womb showed signs of neonatal drug withdrawal, which included high-pitched crying, tremors, and disturbed sleep.
The Israel study involved 60 newborns whose mothers took SSRIs throughout their pregnancies and reported that 18, or 30%, of the newborns showed signs of drug withdrawal after birth, and in eight cases the symptoms were considered severe.
But then what's new? A study conducted a year ago at a University in Spain determined that, "drugs known as selective reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) can cause convulsions, irritability, abnormal crying and tremors."
For this study, researchers accessed the World Health Organization's database on adverse reactions and withdrawal symptoms in infants associated with the use of SSRIs from 72 countries, according to the February 15, 2005, Epoch Times
"Risks of neonatal convulsions and neonatal withdrawal syndrome seem to be increased with all SSRIs," said Professor Emilio Sanz, the leader of the study, of the University of La Laguna in Tenerife.
In February 2004, another study reported that "first-trimester use of SSRIs has been associated with higher rates minor physical anomalies and miscarriages, thus suggesting possible early effects of SSRI exposure on embryonic development," according to Maternal Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor, Philip Sanford Zeskind, PhD and Laura E Stephens, Pediatrics Vol 113 No 2 February 2004, pp. 368-375.
The same study said that third-trimester use off SSRIs has been associated with lower gestational age, low birth weight, higher rates of neonatal intensive care unit admissions. A 2004 study in France published in Prescrire Int. 2004 Jun;13(71):103-4, in summary reported:
(1) Newborns exposed to SSRI during pregnancy show signs of agitation, altered muscle tone, and breathing and suction problems.
(2) symptoms have been noted with all five SSRI antidepressants.
(3) 20% to 30% of newborns are affected.
(4) The symptoms are variously attributed to withdrawal or to the drug itself. (5) doctors should be aware of this risk when considering antidepressant treatment for women in the third trimester of pregnancy. PMID: 15233148 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
In July 2004, the FDA moved to alter labeling for the entire class of SSRI of drugs, warning that some newborns exposed to SSRIs and Effexor have developed problems requiring prolonged hospitalizations, respiratory support, and tube feeding.
"The agency has received hundreds of preliminary reports of adverse effects in newborns over the last decade," WebMd reported on June 9, 2004. The most common include trouble eating, irritability, body rigidity, and respiratory trouble, said Kathleen Phelan, a safety evaluator in the FDA's division of drug risk evaluation too WebMD.
But this is nothing new either. Researchers have been reporting the risks of using these drugs during pregnancy for years, but the media has chosen not to inform the public.
Back in 1996, a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine identified 228 pregnant women on the SSRI Prozac during the period of 1989 through 1995, and compared the outcomes of their pregnancies to 254 women who were not taking Prozac.
The study determined that infants exposed to Prozac in the womb during the third trimester of pregnancy had significantly higher rates of premature delivery, admissions to special-care nurseries, and poor neonatal adaptation, including respiratory difficulty, cyanosis on feeding and jitteriness. Birth weight was also lower and birth length was shorter in infants exposed to Prozac, according to Chambers CD, Johnson KA, Dick LM, Felix RJ, Jones KL. Birth outcomes in pregnant women taking fluoxetine. N Engl J Med.1996; 335 :1010 -1015
In 2003 a study warned about SSRIs making their way into the womb: "These psychotropic medications readily cross the placental barrier and expose the infant to increased serotonin levels during early development," by Hendrick V, Stowe Z, Altshuler L, Hwang S, Lee E, Haynes D, Am J Psychiatry.2003; 160:993 -996
A new risk was made public on December 8, 2005, when the FDA issued an alert to health care professionals and patients about the results of new studies on Paxil that found the drug increases the risk for birth defects, particularly heart defects, when women take it during the first three months of pregnancy.
The first study, was an evaluation of US health insurer information, and found that about 2% of women who took Paxil in the first trimester of pregnancy gave birth to infants with heart defects, compared to about 1% of women in the general population. The second study, was conducted in Sweden, and examined records from close to 7,000 newborns and found that 1.5% of women taking Paxil in the first 3 months, delivered infants with heart defects, compared to 1% of women who took other antidepressants.
Most of the defects reported were "atrial and ventricular septal defects" which means "holes in the walls of the chambers of the hear," according to the FDA.
Paxil was approved by the FDA in 1993, and due to aggressive marketing campaigns by drug maker, GlaxoSmithKline, it quickly became one of the world's most popular drugs. Paxil is now also sold under the generic name paroxetine.
The FDA has now ordered Glaxo, to change the pregnancy category from C to the stronger category D, which signals that studies in pregnant women have demonstrated a risk to the fetus.
"Women taking Paxil who are pregnant or plan to become pregnant," the FDA warned in its December 8 the advisory, "should talk to their physicians about the potential risks of taking the drug during pregnancy."
The agency also said, that health care professionals should consider discontinuing Paxil and switching to another antidepressant if indicated in these patients.
Good luck to pregnant women who think for one minute about trying to educate a health care professional on the dangers of SSRIs. This can prove to be quite a feat according to new mother, Christine Kelly.
Although her pregnancy was somewhat of a surprise, it did not take long for Christine to get excited about the prospect of the arrival of new baby.
But there was one issue that she was concerned about. Christine was on Paxil and had been on several different SSRIs in the years before she become pregnant. At her next appointment with her psychiatrist, she mentioned her concerns and the psychiatrist assured Christine that there was nothing to worry about and advised her to keep taking the drug.
A few of Christine's friends and family members disagreed with the psychiatrist and offered up news reports on the potential harm of SSRIs on the fetus. The articles showed that warnings of the adverse effects had been in the news off and on for years already.
Christine brought copies of a couple of articles to her next appointment with the psychiatrist and when she mentioned the topic once again, the doctor was clearly annoyed. It was clear that the
doctor was not going to review the information.
Thus the battle began. The young pregnant mother concerned about her unborn child and the know-it-all mental health professional who acted as if her patient was being irrational.
By this time, Christine found herself in between a rock and a hard place. As she reviewed more information on the dangers of SSRIs, she became more alarmed.
"On the one hand," she said, "the SSRIs were said to cause birth defects if taken in the first 3 months of pregnancy and I was past the 3 month period."
"But then I read another report that said babies go through withdrawal at birth if the mother take an SSRI during the last 3 months of pregnancy," she continued.
Christine knew it was too late to better the odds for a normal birth due to taking Paxil during the first trimester, but she could improve the odds for the last 3 months of her pregnancy.
"The baby was not due for 4 more months so I decided to quit taking the drug," she said.
Christine would soon learn that the matter was not quite that simple. Abrupt withdrawal from these drugs has its own problems.
"I had been on SSRIs for 7 years," Christine said, "and according to reports on the internet, if I quit taking the drug, there was a good chance that I would go into withdrawal."
With no help or support from the know-it-all shrink, Christine recruited her friends and family members to help wean her off the drug. The process took less than 2 weeks and went off without a hitch.
After going off the drug, Christine hoped that her unborn child would be home free. But that was not the be. The baby ended up having to stay in the neonatal intensive care unit for 4 days while medical professionals monitored him for signs of withdrawal or adverse side effects of Paxil.
"There was also a problem with his sucking and he had to be fed intravenously with tubes," Christine said.
So instead of bringing her baby home, Christine sat at the hospital and watched her son Nicholas in a glass bed with tubes, needles and monitors stuck all over his little body.
Although the extra out-of-pocket costs associated with the intensive care unit put a strain on the household budget, the good news was that the baby appeared not to have suffered any lasting adverse effects from the SSRI.
When Christine met with her psychiatrist at her next appointment, she explained how Nicholas had to be monitored and kept in intensive care, and this time it was Christine's turn to get annoyed at the doctor.
Not willing to budge an inch, according to Christine, and implying that she had been right all the long, the doctor said, "well, was there anything wrong with him?"
"You're missing the point," Christine told her, "I feel very lucky that my baby is all right but you were wrong to tell me that nothing could happen to him if I kept taking the drug."
Once he was released from the hospital, everyone who came to visit agreed that he looked just fine.
Nicholas did not seem sleep like her other babies and woke up 2 or 3 times every night. "I just thought each baby is different," Christine said.
A short time after Nicholas got home, people began to notice that he was easily startled, even while asleep. "Any sudden little sound caused him to jump," Christine said.
At first it was sort of comical and people who saw him jump made light-hearted jokes about it. "His grandma kept laughing and saying it was a sign of good hearing," Christine said.
However, it was not comical after Christine spent time on the internet reading about the side effects of SSRIs on babies and found "easily startled" near the top of the list.
"The sucking problem Nicholas had at birth was also on the list," Christine said, "and abnormal sleeping patters were mentioned as well," she noted.
With each new headline that warns about the adverse effect of SSRI exposure to babies, Christine becomes more worried about the possible long-term effects on Nicholas.
His sleeping patterns remain erratic at 4 months old, and "he still jumps at the slightest sound," she reports.
In addition the potential risk of harm to the fetus in the womb, the public needs consider the risk of harm caused by a mother's use of antidepressants after birth. Bonnie Leitsch is the founder of the "Prozac Survivors Support Group," and Dr Anne Blake Tracy, author of "Prozac: Panacea or Pandora?" is a well-known expert on SSRIs, who has served as a consultant in many high-profile cases involving drug induced violent acts. These two ladies can cite case after case of mothers who have killed their babies while on antidepressants.
For instance, they report, Zoloft was found by investigators in the apartment of Emiri Padron, after she smothered her baby on June 22, 2004, and then stabbed herself twice in the chest.
On July 26, 2004, new mother, Mary Ellen Moffitt, suffocated her 5-week-old infant and killed herself after she had been diagnosed with postpartum depression and prescribed Paxil.
In a case that most people have heard about, Andrea Yates drowned all five of her children in the bathtub while taking Effexor and Remeron in November 2004.
In October 2002, Annie Mae Haskew smothered her 10-week-old baby after being diagnosed with postpartum depression and placed on antidepressants.
The public, and most importantly the medical professionals who pass out SSRIs like Halloween candy, need to understand that these drugs are known to cause grave harm to patients in all age groups, but have the potential to be lethal in the womb and beyond.
"The scientific evidence behind this has been out there for decades," says Dr Tracy, "All anyone ever had to do was read it."

VINTAGE RECIPE BOOKS AND THE STORIES THEY KEEPMay 22, 2017

I am a sucker for an old recipe book. I read them like novels.
The ingredients, the instructions and advertising tell me about the place and time the story is set in, but the splashes of grease, where the book falls open and the magazine clippings tucked inside tell me about the character.
Most of the cook books I've gathered to my bookshelf are curated recipes for brands of cocoa, lard, butter or flour; a charity like Red Cross, the CWA; or, collections compiled by the likes of the NSW Public School Cookery Teachers' Association, author of the Commonsense Cookery Book, and by the magazine contributors of titles like The Australian Women's Weekly.
What a delight to stumble across, in an op shop, no less, a personal archive of handwritten and clipped recipes.
Surely every family has one of these - a purpose-bought book or exercise book of family recipes echoing the time and tastes of the individuals being cooked for.
I have several myself, charting those first years living away from home, through the years of cooking for four children (as a working parent and on a budget) to now, where, as an empty-nester, I can labour over fancy "adult" fare for my partner and I.
This recipe compendium too spans those changes, from entertaining and Christmas cooking through to cooking with budget cuts of meat and in quantities that would suggest there are a few bodies around the table.
There are passed down recipes and shared recipes and recipe cards picked up from the grocer and then grocery aisles. There are the curiosities like a chutney cheddar cheesecake, jelly froth and an uncooked pavlova (take a good look at the recipe in the photos above). There are old faithfuls like tuna asparagus casserole, sweet and sour pork chops, chicken casserole and veal and cream and old favourites like a boiled chocolate cake, fruit squares with a side note stating "lovely", a mulberry cobbler and another "lovely" lemon cake.
There are clippings from newspapers and magazines. One from 1993 shows, on the reverse of instructions for "the basic French omelette", that a four-bedroom house in Sydney's Rooty Hill would set you back $200,000. In Rydalmere, $204,000 would get you a three-bedroom home with above-ground pool, spa "with room for six", separate workshop and your own garage.
A leather bookmark, in the shape of a cross, and hurried notes with scant details of measures and method mark the presence of children and school gate recipe swaps. A nod to menus with less sugar and more fresh veg suggests a possible health scare, forgotten as tastier and more tempting treats follow on.
I can't help myself. I hear dinner time conversation, the oohs and aahs of appreciation as a Christmas cake is cut or jar of fig jam is handed to a delighted neighbour. I can smell Anzac biscuits and hear the slap of chicken livers on a cutting board. As each page opens I know the planning and saving and hoping for the right moment to trial and taste, sample and serve up.
Each hand-written recipe is a story, a moment in a family's time line, and now, on my shelf will be a history to uncover, rediscover and maybe even write up here - in a new digital form.

Those handwritten recipes are like finding treasure...and the handwriting, oh my! A family favourite here is the Nursing Mother's cookbook. So many memories of Mum's cooking in there.ReplyDelete
I love them too and you have reminded me to write down some of our family favourites and add them to those I have from Mum and Granny. I can't hand on a Pinterest board!

It's so true. We've even had the conversation at home about what to do with our digital profiles should the worst happen, and the kids do want us to keep things live for them, but it's not the same as seeing handwritten notes and recipes. I feel a little bit like I've stolen someone's history.Delete

Where's the Love
While catching up with blogging, I began looking through posts of other bloggers I follow. I started noticing again and again posts along the theme of "Dear Martha Stewart." Curious, I began reading them and eventually found an article detailing what was said. If this is old news to you, bear with me -this is about a lot more than just Martha Stewart. For those of you who didn't read about her now infamous interview (infamous at least in the crafting/food blogger world), she went on a little rant criticizing food and crafting bloggers. I'll just leave it at that, but it wasn't very sweet.
Unfortunately, criticism seems to be rampant online lately. Bullying, criticizing, belittling others - none of it is new. But, unfortunately, social media seems to make it more widespread. In some ways it is more hurtful, as well. I see a lot of Facebook posts, tweets, and other posts from people that would never actually say those things in person! People get so much braver, especially if they have an alias and aren't recognized. Whether it is with politics, religion, or even baking, it seems the lines are somehow more divided online. I'm not a mom, but I have been shocked by some of the posts I've seen written by mothers judging other mothers. It makes me sad to see such divides among people that could be supporting and building each other up.
Some bloggers do it just to get more page views. I don't know how many articles I read about blogging that encouraged others to write controversial posts in order to get page views. The more people that go and tell them off, the more views they are getting... Now that is fine if you want to write something edgy or speak your mind. I happen to enjoy our right to free speech. But unfortunately a lot of people can't seem to draw a line between speaking their mind and opinions, and belittling anyone who doesn't agree with them.
Ok, so now that I have you depressed (sorry), you are probably wondering what anyone can do. Well, I don't think bullying or discouraging others is going to disappear anytime soon. But you can make a pledge to keep your little part of the blogosphere and social media free from discouragement. It's too easy sometimes to write a negative comment or gripe about someone on Facebook or your blog. I have a new badge I'm sharing that shows I'm taking a stand to keep my blog and social media encouraging and positive. Keeping it positive is more than just not belittling others. It's so easy for us bloggers to get competitive or jealous of other bloggers. But, isn't it nice when you have a blogger go out of their way to write a kind comment, or share your post? I think we could all use a lot less discouragement, and a lot more encouragement! So I challenge you to share a similar post (or this one if you wish) and shout out to a couple bloggers who make you smile, and brighten your day.
Before I get to the bloggers I'd like to encourage, I wanted to share my new badge. Feel free to take and share on your blog as well, showing your stand for encouraging others online!

I'm going to start by talking about two bloggers. One is Stefani Pollack, blogger at the popular Cupcake Project. I don't know Stefanie, but I know she has very successful blog. When I was first starting out with blogging and cupcake baking, though, I wrote her an email. I figured it was a long shot, but her blog had inspired me to become a blogger. Imagine my surprise when she actually answered my email! And this happened not once, but twice. So thanks to Stefani for being accessible even through her popularity and success. If you don't check out her weekly article in Parade, you should!!
Another blogger is Heather Carter, writer and creator of My Sweet Mission. If you haven't checked out her site, you should! Heather's posts combine her two passions - baking and helping others (hence the name). Among others, Heather is always great about commenting on my posts and always linked up to my blog link party (when I had it going). I have so many great readers, but I just wanted to give a shout out to Heather for encouraging me on so many of my projects!
I have a looooooong list of other bloggers who encourage and inspire me, so I don't want to leave anyone out. I plan on making this a recurring post, I think it is that important.
(Don't worry, I will get back to the food later this week!)

A well designed website should have lots of natural copy that contains those keywords that are most relevant to your site. But how do you decide what keywords to target?
Let's start with a quick definition: "keyword" = noun. 1. A word or phrase that your clients use to help them find what they are looking for. 2. A word or phrase that search engines identify on your site and utilize for indexing.
OK, that was a bit academic, but thought we should at least start with a working definition.
A keyword is only as good as its' searches.
If you want to rank, your site needs to focus on keywords that people are searching for. I could build a site tomorrow that is optimized for "rubbery pumpkin daddies" and probably rank #1 for that keyword phrase in google within a day or two…. BUT…. is anyone searching for that term? Not likely. In fact a quick search on google shows no results for that phrase. So, it would be very easy to rank for it quickly… but it would be a waste of time, since no one is searching for it.
When trying to rank for phrases that people are searching for, more often than not, that means that there will be some competition. Your goal is to figure out which keywords or variations of your keywords you can target and achieve rank. Sometimes that means you won't go out of the gate targeting "Motorcycle Parts", but instead a more specific niche of motorcycle parts, such as "Ducati Handlebars"
One of the cheapest (if you like "free") and easiest ways to perform keyword research is using Google itself – the Google Adwords Keyword Tool. While it is developed to help people who are selecting keywords for their Pay Per Click (PPC) Ads, it is very helpful for finding out what keywords are being searched, how often, and also for spitting out dozens of related keywords that you may not have even thought about. You can find it at:

I live in my head and the books I read. Someone asked me the other day, "What are some good books?" And followed up with something like, they really were intrigued to see what a little controversial critter read.
I am mixing up my favorite reads of new and somewhat old, and will be posting more. I love fiction based on historical evidence and indigenous oral history and/or myth. And I love black women writers who dabble in intellectual dankness.
For me, the most romantic place in the world is a bookstore. Kind' of freaky, hunh?
Well, enjoy, and read on.
Segu or Segou by Maryse Conde must be in your collection. It is a literary bombshell that captures several generations of Bambara people who are affected by internal conflicts in Africa due to the Arab/Muslim invasion and holy wars and slavery then the Euro-Christian slave trade that followed.
A PBS movie was made from the book. A snippet of the first episode is after the image.
I am addicted to Nalo Hopkinson's writing, and her first book, Brown Girl in the Ring, gave me goosebumps. It is told around an apocalyptic Toronto, Canada, and what happens when the dispensable population (mostly folks of color and West Indian immigrants) get sequestered in the inner city. An intertwining of Yoruba, Santeria folklore, and Trinidadian-Jamaican Obeah ritual, this shit is unforgettable. Don't let the cheesy cover fool you.
If you want to see how Catholicism/Christianity has brainwashed Africa, you must read Chimamanda Ngozi's, Purple Hibiscus. This centers a Nigerian, Ibo family whose patriarch is fanatically religious and down right rabid-ass crazy.
With a name like Attica Locke, you know the book has got to be ill. Told with a heavy play-writing style in some pockets, Black Water Rising, unfolds the complicated life Houston-based, black attorney who attempts to be "normal" after his college days of working in the black liberation struggle. Great references to the CIA, Cointelpro tactics, and the post-traumatic stress/ political backlash that former liberation army folk still experience.
Tananarive Due is my top three of all writers because she can tell a mojo story like no other with her 90s debut book, My Soul to Keep. This is a trilogy about a Florida-based investigative reporter who discovers her husband is an Ethiopian immortal who drank the blood of Jesus. Wicked, absolutely fabulous.
I must drop one more by Tananarive, but this detector series is in collaboration with her husband Steven Barnes, and actor-author, Blair Underwood. This book, From Capetown With Love, is the latest in a series around a struggling actor who once upon a time, slanged-his-thang to make ends meet as an "escort," and has turned himself into a some what respectable detective/foster dad/good citizen. But his past, and his dick somehow, keep haunting him. Sexy, sleazy, mysteriously great.

I'm featuring Beautiful Bow on the Avery Elle blog today sharing a Christmas card.
You can use this stamp set all year long, though, because it's full with a variety of very handy sentiements :)
I used the stripes to create a background and I cut the part of the bow to create the sensation of the whole card being wrapped with that stamped ribbon.
I made this shaker card with vellum instead of acetate to tone down thse stripes and well, to try it and see how it looks lol
For more depth, I cut the bow again and adhered it on the top of the other.
I combined this set with the new "be merry" die, I love it!! To achieve that shine I inked the whole word with Versamark ink and then heat emboss it white sparkle embossing powder.
I hope you like it!! Thank you so much for your visit, have a great week!!

Sam Mendes is one of Britain's 100 Most Connected Men
The former artistic director of the Donmar Warehouse dominates both stage and screen. He is rumoured to have been sounded out about succeeding Sir Nicholas Hytner at the National Theatre, but the Skyfall director is said to have turned it down, having already signed on for the next Bond.
This week he took to the 007 stage at Pinewood Studios to announce the title, cast and car for the 24th James Bond movie, Spectre. This makes Mendes the first director to take on more than one Bond film in a row since John Glen.

Peace Corps in Haiti helped organize the assistance of a bamboo expert from Hawaii who made several trips to Haiti to provide training and help us get started
Peace Corps in Haiti helped organize the assistance of a bamboo expert from Hawaii who made several trips to Haiti to provide training and help us get started
A Bamboo program is born
In the past four or five years, ORE has been pushing a program to introduce and mass-propagate high quality bamboo cultivars suitable for building and handicrafts. Improved bamboo varieties are one of the most suitable plant materials to combat the current exponential increase in hillside soil erosion, particularly for the control of ravines, and provide a renewable supply of material for commercial use. They are also a viable substitute for the local building industry's insatiable demand for post wood – a major cause of deforestation in the country. In 1999, Partners of the Americas and the Peace Corps in Haiti helped organize the assistance of a bamboo expert from Hawaii who made several trips to Haiti to provide training and help us get started. He brought twelve selected varieties generously donated by the Quindembo Nursery in Hawaii, adding to the collection previously introduced by ORE from Puerto Rico and Florida. The 12 new varieties were established at a propagation site in Camp Perrin. Propagation by root division and branch cuttings under mist spray have been used to increase the initial stock of 150 to over 12,000 plants. These fast-growing varieties quickly offer protection against soil erosion in ravines and on denuded hillsides, and improve the ecological conditions of watersheds, protecting the environment as well as supplying useful materials for the local population.
Every year thousands of these high quality cultivars produced
in our nursery (above left) are being distributed to farmers.
Varieties such as Guadua Chacoensis are excellent for the protection of river banks, ravines
and the springs of the watersheds.
Local bamboo is used to build homes in certain areas of the country, but due to rapid infestation by mites this material is not durable. Improved varieties such as Guadua angustofolia produce culms 6 inches in diameter and 100 feet long. In Columbia they are used for house construction and are considered as durable as hard woods. The new varieties will be a tremendous asset to rural communities of Haiti. ORE is currently working primarily with the following varieties: Bambusa Burmanica, B. Edulis, Dendrocalamus Giganteus, D. Membranaceus, Gigantichloa Albociliata, Guadua Angustofolia Bicolor, Guadua Chacoensis and Thysosctachys Siamensis.

Kudos for the effort..Hope that all is going well, I would be very intrested in corresponding with the project directors about the selections introduced and the adapatability. Here in Puerto Rico we are nearing a timebomb event with little recognition of the problem. The coffee crops here are becoming economic disasters and new crop technology needs to be introduced. Hope to hear from you soon.

http://deadline.com/2014/10/twin-peaks- ... st-845804/Twin Peaks fans' quarter-century wait is over. One of the top cult series of all time is coming back with a new limited series on Showtime from its original creators, David Lynch and Mark Frost. The nine-episode series will go into production in 2015 for a premiere in 2016 to mark the 25th anniversary of when the series finished its run on ABC. In a fact that will delight Twin Peaks devotees, Lynch and Frost will write and produce all nine episodes, with Lynch set to direct every episode.
The new Twin Peaks will be set in the present day, more than two decades after the events in the first two seasons. It will continue the lore and story of the original series, with Lynch and Frost committed to providing long-awaited answers and, hopefully, a satisfying conclusion to the series. It is unclear which actors from the original series will be featured in the followup. I hear that star Kyle MacLachlan will be back, reprising his role as FBI Agent Dale Cooper who was at the center of the show. The ABC series also featured some of Lynch's favorite character actors, and it is likely that at least some of them will return.

Nobody remembers the War of 1812 today, except for a handful of historians, largely because there is no consensus as to what this war was about. Other wars carry handy labels:
The American Revolution -- "No taxation without representation."
The Civil War -- On the winning side it is known as "the war to free the slaves". On the losing side, it is known as "The War Between the States", and the cause is "States' Rights."
World War I -- "The War to End All Wars." People laugh, but they still remember that.
World War II -- "The War against the Nazis." I know that is not an official label, and of course that Japan was also involved, but when certain people cite WWII as a "moral war", that seems to be what they mean.
The undeclared wars that happened after WWII are as problematic as the Quasi-War with France. So is the Spanish-American War. But the War of 1812 is the one most people will readily admit that they know nothing about and never really understood.
It may very well have been the war to pay for the Louisiana Purchase. It was the war that was won by privateers, but it was also the war that put an end to privateering. It may have been the war that put an end to our belief that we could live without a standing army. Some see it as the second war of American independence, but ultimately it was a war that had us very much a vassal of Britain for quite some time. It was a war that was won in the Battle of New Orleans but lost in Ghent with the signing of a treaty that pre-dated that battle.
|The Signing of the Treaty of Ghent.
Admiral of James Gambier is shaking hands with U.S. Ambassador John Quincy Adams
None of the American aims in declaring the War of 1812 were accomplished. No reparations were made by the British for the damage they did during the war, both by burning Washington and in all their other forays on American soil, including most notably The Sack of Hampton.
The War of 1812 may be neglected by history teachers in the schools because the way it was managed was embarrassing, but it is well worth studying in order to understand how we came to be where we are today.
To learn more about the war itself, and the part Jean Laffite played in it, read this novel.

I live in Ottawa and describe myself as a planet-conscious/moderate neat freak with a recessive frugal gene. I am trying to balance family, odd part-time jobs and life with humour and caffeine.
This blog is my personal space, labor of love and a connection to community. Implementing healthy and eco-friendly changes in our home has been a frustrating process. I am bumbling along using a trial by error method and have a long list of misses to show for it. I focus on healthy living, green ideas and environmentally friendly products I think are goodies. I also throw in some parenting and yummy food talk just to mix it up a little. This is my attempt to encourage small green changes, save some money (and headaches!)…and have a few laughs.
Marketing and PR folks – I welcome updates about environmental initiatives, community/charity events, and earth friendly product information. I do not write reviews for payment or free product. I do not participate in promotions or giveaways. Anything I suggest I purchase myself, personally use, and really really like. The opinions I express are entirely my own.
I love to hear from people that read my blog. LOVE IT! Feel free to leave a comment or send me an email. You can contact me at themindfulmerchant (at) gmail (dot) com

Biddle Move
# Hold the deck face up in the right hand between the four fingers and the thumb. The four fingers are at the top edge of the cards ( the edge closest to the audience ) and the thumb is at the inner edge. Begin sliding cards of the top of the deck ( this is actually the bottom of the deck because it is turned over face up ) with your left thumb. This is basically a dragging action, as you drag the card to your left and the rest of the deck to your right. You are to show the spectators each card as it is slid off the pack. When you slide the selected card off the deck, get a little finger break underneath it.
# So now you have a few cards in your left hand with a little finger break under the top card and the rest of the pack in your other hand. When you move to slide the next card onto the small packet, the selected card ( held by the break ) is secretly added to the bottom of the deck ( which is actually the top). With practice, this becomes real easy to conceal the move.
# You must not hesitate or fumble. It must seem as if you are just sliding another card off the deck. From here you can continue to slide cards off until you reach a desired number of cards.

Blind loop syndrome (or stagnant loop syndrome) happens when part of the small intestine makes a loop of tissue which food cannot pass through during the digestive process. The loop of tissue may be very small or much larger, depending on the cause. This 'blind loop' results in a reservoir of stagnating food that remains trapped in the small intestine.
In a normal small intestine the food that you eat mixes with digestive juices, and the nutrients are then absorbed into the bloodstream for onward transmission around the body.
The normal small intestine has very little bacteria, but in blind loop syndrome food trapped in the bypassed small intestine provides the perfect environment in which bacteria can proliferate. Once established, the bacteria produce toxins and prevent the efficient absorption of nutrients.
There are a number of causes of blind loop syndrome including:
People born with a structural defect to the small intestine may also be at risk of developing blind loop syndrome in later life.
There are a number of symptoms that are indicative of blind loop syndrome, including:
If you experience all or any of these symptoms, you should seek medical advice immediately.
If your doctor suspects that you are suffering from blind loop syndrome, you will be referred to a gastrointestinal specialist in the hospital. You will undergo a number of diagnostic tests including:
Further tests are usually carried out to determine the presence of bacteria within the small intestine, including:
Based on the result of these tests a definitive diagnosis may be made and suitable treatment commenced.
How is blind loop syndrome treated?
Blind loop syndrome is usually treated by addressing the underlying problem, i.e. removing or repairing the blind loop, stricture or fistula that is causing the issue. In cases where this is not possible treatment focuses instead on eliminating bacterial overgrowth and correcting nutritional deficiencies.
Most people with blind loop syndrome are prescribed a short course of antibiotics to control the bacterial overgrowth that is responsible for their symptoms. Obviously, the bacteria will eventually return once the antibiotics are stopped so blind loop sufferers may need regular courses in order to keep things under control.
Your doctor will probably change your antibiotics regularly to prevent bacterial resistance. You may experience some side effects from certain drugs, including diarrhea and switching to different drugs can help to avoid this problem.
An extremely important part of treating blind loop syndrome is the correction of nutritional deficiencies, especially in those suffering from severe weight loss and malnutrition.
This is normally achieved through the prescription of supplements including:
In addition, a lactose-free diet is often recommended. This is because the small intestine cannot efficiently digest lactose (milk sugar) if it is damaged. With the exception of pro-biotic yogurt, which can be beneficial in controlling gut bacteria, dairy products and any foods containing lactose should be avoided.
Triglycerides are dietary fats, and most consist of long-chain fat molecules that can be difficult to digest. The inclusion of medium-chain triglycerides in the diet can aid digestion. Coconut oil is a good source of medium-chain triglycerides and they can also be taken as a dietary supplement.
With correct dietary management and drug therapy, blind loop syndrome sufferers can lead a normal life, even without surgery.
Blind loop syndrome can cause very unpleasant side-effects that can impact on your quality of life. However, the condition can be controlled and even corrected through surgical intervention or routine drug therapy and dietary changes as outlined above.

Worthing manager Adam Hinshelwood promised changes at Woodside Road after his injury-hit squad lost 3-1 to Merstham on Tuesday.
Despite taking the lead through a James Crane penalty, three goals from an energised Moatsiders team knocked the Reds out of the Velocity Trophy and extended their losing streak to three.
This came despite kick-off being delayed by half an hour, with the visitors not even warming up before the match.

Hinshelwood said: "I'm disappointed, we just lost three games on the bounce. I thought Merstham were excellent so I might try that on Saturday - turning out without warming up.
"They worked hard enough. They wanted it more, they got to every first ball, every second ball, every third ball first. They were better in one-on-one situations, pressed us and worked us hard. We went 1-0 up luckily with the penalty but we didn't create enough and it was boring to watch. I don't know what to say other than that."
An already-stretched squad also had more injury woes on Tuesday.
Young defender Luca Cocoracchio was handed his first start and performed well, but was forced off after 60 minutes clutching his face.
That now means nine players in Hinshelwood's side are currently out injured, with a busy winter period now in full flow. The manager promised on Tuesday to re-evaluate his approach for the time being.
He said: "I've probably got to take a bit of responsibility because I'm setting up the team to play the same way and we have got an injury-hit team. Maybe trying to play so expansively when we've got a lot of players missing is a bit ludicrous."
"Looking at the last three games it's not working so we'll need to find another way to play with the personnel available. I could just come out here and say we've got another player injured today, nine players now, but I'm not going to do that, I don't think the players that we've got playing today would want me to say that.
"I understand the fans' frustration. I'll take that on the chin - we've got to change things a little bit with the personnel that we've got available."
Worthing now face a difficult league tie against second-placed Tonbridge Angels on Saturday.

Sen. Bill Cassidy on Friday coined a new term for GOP attempts to reform the US healthcare system, saying any GOP healthcare bill must pass the "Jimmy Kimmel test."
Kimmel, a late night host, delivered a tearful monologue Monday night about his newborn son's open-heart surgery and pleaded with lawmakers to keep in place certain protections of the Affordable Care Act. One of those protections is the removal of lifetime limits, which prior to the ACA would cap the amount of benefits an insurance company would pay out in a person's lifetime.
As Kimmel said, children born with serious health problems, like his son, often hit those limits at a very young age.
Cassidy said in a Friday interview on CNN that he wanted to make sure the Senate healthcare bill kept that protection in place.
"I ask does it pass the Jimmy Kimmel test? Will a child born with a congenital heart disease be able to get everything she or he would need in that first year of life? I want it to pass the Jimmy Kimmel test," Cassidy said.
"So simple answer, I want to make sure — and the Cassidy-Collins bill accomplishes this — that if a child is born and has tetralogy of fallot ... that they would receive all the services even if they go over a certain amount," he said.
"The Senate will write its own bill, that's clear. Mitch McConnell made that clear and others in the leadership made that clear," Cassidy said of the Senate majority leader.
Cassidy has written his own version of a repeal and replace bill with fellow Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine. It modifies the Affordable Care Act and establishes larger risk pools to try and bring premiums down for people with preexisting conditions.

Features & Columns
Year in Review 2012
Metro Racks Nabbed
Unsatisfied with its quest to snuff out all independent newspapers in the Bay Area via consolidation, the Bay Area News Group—parent company of the Mercury News—decided to start stealing competing news racks and throwing them in a company dumpster designated for scrap metal recycling. After several bumbling attempts to explain the theft, which were proven to be lies, BANG execs dug into their foxholes as the San Jose Police Department continues to investigate
Yahoo Shakeup
Could Marissa Mayer's appointment as CEO of Yahoo while pregnant be one of the coolest things ever? Mayer's eloquent and photogenic presence has long been sought at valley events, and while the former Google VP was always happy to comply, observers noted that the search giant underutilized her talents. Can Mayer turn Yahoo's fortunes around as well as tend to a new baby?
Priest Payback
Despite a mountain of evidence against Will Lynch, jurors acquitted him of beating up an elderly Los Gatos priest who allegedly molested Lynch and his brother when they were kids. An interesting twist in the case was that Rev. Jerold Lindner may have perjured himself by testifying that no abuse occurred. In the end, the District Attorney's Office decided to pass on pressing charges against Lindner as well as retrying Lynch.
Always Sunny in Sunnyvale?
LinkedIn announced a deal to lease a new campus in Sunnyvale that will house its almost 3,000 employees. Expected to move in 2014, the r–sum–/networking site has gained steam since its IPO in 2011, as investors respect the fact that is one of the few (only?) social media sites that has a genuine revenue model through subscriptions.
Cop Out
Less than two years after Chris Moore landed San Jose's top cop position, the chief of police decided he would follow his troops out the door and retire. Stung by layoffs, pay cuts and retirement cutbacks, morale sagged in Moore's two years on the job as the murder rate in 2012 eventually surpassed a 20-year high. Moore will leave with an annual pension payout in the $200,000 range while also receiving a sick-leave payout that might make taxpayers ill when they do the math.
Lego My Legos
Technology exec Thomas Langenbach went on what might be the nerdiest crime spree of the year, which ended when police found eight Ziploc baggies of fake barcode stickers in his car in a Cupertino parking lot. Police arrested the 47-year-old vice president of software giant SAP after he was found to be purchasing Lego sets from Target at artificially discounted prices and selling them on eBay. Over the course of the year, he flipped more than 2,000 units, and police found hundreds of unopened boxes in his $2 million San Carlos mansion. You know, because he needed the money. In August, Langenbach pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Breaking Real Bad
Eric Dean Lewis, a principal at Montague Elementary in Santa Clara, sold meth to an undercover cop on a gay-dating website, according to police. They also say that the headmaster possessed a date-rape drug and numerous hidden cameras in his San Francisco apartment, including one stuffed inside a Teddy bear and others tucked in a cigarette lighter, a coat hanger and a watch on his bathroom shelf. In September, agents arrested Lewis at a Caltrain station, where he unwittingly met an undercover agent. Parents at the school remembered Lewis as an outgoing man who encouraged them to participate, but authorities claim he also used his time there to text the undercover agent and suggest they smoke meth together.
Turn Right on Red
San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed will likely leave office with two major accomplishments on his r–sum–. First, he was able to get pension reform passed by voters. Second, he's the only big-city mayor in recent memory to get a traffic ticket for not using his turn signal. Reed has angered cops the last few years, from cutting their pay to telling them their benefits amounted to a "gravy train." Still, no one expected officers to take a photo of the mayor's ticket and send it out via social media. Police Chief Chris Moore promised to launch an internal investigation into the matter, which, of course, went nowhere.
Paging Pete
San Jose Councilmember Pete Constant receives a salary from the city in addition to his disability pension. The injury has forced him to get several back surgeries, the latest of which had him on the mend in August. Or so we thought. It turns out, Constant skipped a City Council meeting to attend the Republican National Convention just weeks after going under the knife. His absence from council was changed to unexcused. Cost for missing a council meeting: $250. Value of seeing Clint Eastwood murder Mitt Romney's presidential chances in person: priceless.
The Big Squeeze
A man running from the police got himself stuck between two buildings on Capitol Expressway. It took two hours to extract the fugitive. The suspect first called his girlfriend for help, but when she couldn't locate him, he called the police dispatcher and claimed to have been the victim of two men who took his clothes. Did we mention that he was clad only in a garbage bag?
Xavier Campos Escapes Indictment for MACSA Mess
The District Attorney's Office charged two former execs for the Mexican American Community Services Agency (MACSA) with felony grand theft. Both Olivia Soza-Mendiola and Benjamin Tan, the former CEO and CFO, respectively, were found to have diverted $1 million in retirement funds. Escaping criminal charges was the nonprofit's third C-level officer, former MACSA Chief Operating Officer Xavier Campos, who was elected to the San Jose City Council in 2010. The DA cited Campos' continuous payroll contributions to the MACSA pension fund—when he should have known they were worthless—to support the theory that he was ignorant of the threat. Observers were left unsure whether Campos is sly as a fox or simply a dumb investor.
Going Up?
Apple stock crosses the $700 threshold for the first time. Investors experience euphoria.
Doctor, Doctor
Former Santa Clara County medical director Dr. Marvin Bonham allegedly traded Oxycontin prescriptions to felons for cash and street drugs. Police raided Bonham's Los Gatos home Oct. 3 and found meth, mushrooms, ecstasy, weapons and lots of pot during what they dubbed "Operation Oxy Exchange." Bonham now faces 18 felony charges for his one-stop shop operation.
War of the Rose
San Jose Councilmember Rose Herrera experienced the ugliest re-election campaign in the city's history, as labor unions and pension reformers declared war in District 8. The fight featured goofy attack ads on TV, accusations of perjury and two lobbyists getting into an altercation with the councilwoman's husband—who was simply trying to trash campaign signs of her opponent. In the end, conservative estimates have the council primary and runoff totaling more than $1 million spent—an inglorious new record for spending in a local council race.
Field of Dreams
When a report asked Bud Selig, the dour commissioner of Major League Baseball, when a decision would come on the Oakland A's potential move to San Jose, Selig dropped an uncharacteristically candid answer. "I'd be disappointed if you didn't ask," the reporter quoted Selig, via his Twitter feed. "You're not going to get a f#%**%} answer." Well, f#%* you too, Selig.

High Court Judge has granted summary judgment to prevent a party, whose registered trade mark had been invalidated at the Trade Marks Registry on the basis of an earlier unregistered right, from defending itself in passing off proceedings before the High Court.Focal Point Fires Plc (Focal Point) registered the mark FIRECRAFT as a UK trade mark in February 2000 for "gas fires, electric fires, fires simulating fuel effect, fire surrounds, fire fronts and parts" in Class 11. Focal Point advertised in a trade magazine in the summer of 2000 and started selling gas and electric fires under this mark from May 2001.Evans was a partnership which had manufactured, sold and installed bespoke stone fireplaces under the name FIRECRAFT since the 1990s. In March 2007, Evans applied to invalidate the FIRECRAFT mark before the Trade Marks Registry under Sections 47 and 5(4)(a) of the Trade Marks Act 1994. In November 2008, the Hearing Officer found in favour of Evans, holding that at the Relevant Date (i.e., the date of the trade mark application in February 2000) the use of FIRECRAFT by Focal Point in relation to the goods covered by its registration would have amounted to a misrepresentation that they were connected with Evans, which would be liable to cause damage to Evans' goodwill. Focal Point did not appeal the decision and the FIRECRAFT mark was invalidated. In March 2009, Evans issued passing off proceedings against Focal Point in the High Court. Evans subsequently applied for summary judgment, submitting that Focal Point was estopped (on the grounds of issue estoppel and/or cause of action estoppel) from defending itself against the passing off claim and further or in the alternative that it would be an abuse of process to allow it to do so. The application was heard by Peter Smith J, who found in Evans' favour and granted the summary judgment. The Hearing Officer's DecisionPeter Smith J concluded that the Hearing Officer found that at the Relevant Date Evans had an actionable claim under the law of passing off and therefore invalidated Focal Point's mark. Although the Relevant Date was more than 9 years before the commencement of the passing off proceedings, it did not follow that Evans did not have a sustainable cause of action for passing off in 2009. There was no basis for suggesting that the three factors necessary to establish the tort of passing off were not still present. On the subject of damage, the Judge concluded that even if there was no actual damage at the time, Evans could have sought quia timet relief. The Court could have awarded damages in lieu of an injunction. The Judge noted that, although the Trade Marks Registry has different procedures to those before the High Court, it was plain when the parallel jurisdiction was set up under the Trade Marks Act 1994 that the Registry decision could have precisely the same effect as a judgment in the High Court. For an estoppel to arise, the decision of the relevant tribunal must be final. Once Focal Point elected not to appeal the Hearing Officer's decision, it became final. In the Judge's view, that decision ought to be final as regards not merely the matter on which it was required to adjudicate, but on every other matter which it was necessary for it to decide in order to make the decision. The Judge rejected Focal Point's submission that the Hearing Officer only had jurisdiction to decide whether a notional and fair use of the FIRECRAFT mark on the goods set out in the trade mark specification at the Relevant Date would result in Focal Point passing off its goods. The Hearing Officer had to determine not merely that Evans had an argument for passing off, but that it had an actual claim for passing off; it was essential for the Hearing Officer to make this determination in order to invalidate the mark. Cause of Action EstoppelThe Judge rejected Focal Point's submission that the cause of action before the Registry (namely trade mark invalidity) was different to the cause of action before the Court (namely passing off). The FIRECRAFT mark could not have been declared invalid without Evans establishing that they had a subsisting cause of action for passing off at the Relevant Date. Given that, the Judge failed to see how there could be no cause of action estoppel in relation to passing off. Issue EstoppelIn relation to issue estoppel, the Judge firstly held that it was an essential element to the Hearing Officer's decision that Evans had a subsisting cause of action for passing off at the Relevant Date; such findings were not merely collateral or incidental. The Judge went on to note that there can be no res judicata in a changing situation. In relation to the issue of damage, the Judge accepted that the Hearing Officer had to decide whether damage was likely to be caused to Evans, but this, in his view, was simply a quia timet test. In any event, the Hearing Officer determined not only quia timet relief but he also determined that there was damage to Evan's goodwill at the Relevant Date. The Judge acknowledged that it would be relevant if circumstances had changed, but Focal Point had not shown any basis for this. On the issue of misrepresentation, the Judge noted that the Hearing Officer found that there would have been a misrepresentation at the Relevant Date (although Evans had not actually proved it), thus giving Evans the right to seek an injunction in the appropriate tribunal (although not the Registry). The Judge concluded that the Hearing Officer determined that Evans had a valid cause of action sufficient to prevent the use of the mark. That is the same requirement for Evans to establish passing off at the Court. Abuse of ProcessThe Judge was of the view that to allow Focal Point to force Evans to re-establish the passing off claim as a matter of principle was harassment. He concluded that Focal Point fought the hearing in the Registry and subsequently wished to put up more obstacles in the hope that this would inhibit Evans' desire to recover recompense. If Focal Point wished to adduce further evidence, it should have appealed the Hearing Officer's decision and sought to put in fresh evidence there. The Courts are anxious to ensure that all matters so far as possible are dealt with expeditiously and with one hearing. It would be quite wrong to allow Focal Point to re-litigate the issue of liability. ConclusionThe Judge considered the two authorities on this area, Hormel Foods Corporation v Antilles Landscape Investments NV [2004] EWHC 13 (Ch) and Special Effects Ltd v L'Oreal SA [2007] RPC 15, and concluded that there was nothing in those decisions which led him to conclude that his analysis was incorrect. The Judge held that Focal Point had no prospect of success in defending the case as regards the determination of liability for passing off. On the issue of relief, the Judge noted that the only relief immediately available was for a declaration that passing off had occurred. The question of whether Evans was entitled to an injunction required further argument, given the delay between Focal Point's first use and the claim being brought; and damages or an account of profits and other relief should be assessed on a separate inquiry. CommentThis decision has potential repercussions for both brand owners and the trade mark profession. Peter Smith J was keen to ensure that parties which have had the opportunity to put their case before the Registry do not get a second "bite of the cherry" in Court. In principle, this approach is not limited to passing off cases, but would be equally applicable to an invalidity action based on an earlier registered trade mark right, followed by a Court action for trade mark infringement.Assuming this decision is followed, potential claimants may decide to test the waters in the Registry and then, relying on a positive outcome, obtain relief from the Court, without the Court itself having considered liability or their entitlement to an injunction. Time will tell as to the impact of this decision upon the conduct of proceedings in the Registry. However, one consequence is that certain proceedings may become more expensive and complex as the parties know that there is a risk that they will be estopped from arguing points again (except on appeal). Alternatively, a party may elect to surrender its mark, rather than defend itself before the Registry, preferring instead to defend itself by reference to the usual Court processes in a passing off action. A further alternative would be that a trade mark owner, on receipt of an invalidity application based on prior unregistered rights, may elect to apply to Court for a declaration that its activities do not amount to passing off. Each circumstance will need to be considered separately, but the ramifications of this case cannot be ignored. William Evans & Otr v Focal Point Fires Plc (Peter Smith J; [2009] EWHC 2784 (Ch); 10.11.09) Katharine Stephens and Zoe Fuller acted for Focal Point Fires Plc

As you know (or should by now) I'm currently working in Vietnam at the Centre for Sustainable Rural Development, or SRD and am placed in Ha Noi.
What I didn't know coming into this placement was that I'd be working primarily with forestry related things: forest governance, forest management, land-use law, land allocation problems, forest trade, forest licensing, forest monitoring, civil society's participation in forest policy drafting, etc. However now that I'm here I'm finding that my role is involving lots of policy drafting, capacity building, and networking about forests.
In my first week at SRD, I attended a workshop on Capacity Building for Civil Society Organizations on FLEGT/VPA and REDD+. Its quite a mouthful. FLEGT is Forest, Law, Governance, and Trade and is legislation drafted by the EU for countries that they trade in timber with. VPA is the Voluntary Partnership Agreement which is a bilateral trade agreement between a country and the EU (in this case, Vietnam). REDD+ is one of the products of the Cancun Climate Change talks and stands for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation. All of this can be coordinated to work together, but as the Vietnamese government is in the midst of developing all the policies, the local and international NGOs are working on trying to get input from civil society and figuring out the best way to do this.
If you are curious and want to know more, you can check out the condensed version of the report that I wrote here.

In the early nineties a wave of creativity swept over Britain. Those were the years of Britart and Britpop, of Damien Hirst, Jake & Dinos Chapman, Tracey Emin, Sam Taylor-Wood, Blur, Radiohead, Oasis and Alexander McQueen. The initial signs of these cultural movements seemed to be ignored even by progressive magazines such as i-D and The Face. Being dissatisfied with the situation, the journalist Jefferson Hack and the recently graduated photographer Rankin started their own magazine: Dazed & Confused, a title that had been borrowed from a song by Led Zeppelin.
Praised for its innovative photography, style magazine Dazed & Confused became the professional magazine for anyone regarding him- or herself as a trendy and prominent person.
In one fell swoop Rankin (J.R. Waddell, 1966) established his name as a photographer making memorable portraits of celebrities from the world of pop music, fashion and film. His approach is distinctive: provocative, insolent, stirring and often erotic. In his eclectic visual language Rankin seeks the borderlines of decency. During his studies he has already made a series of nudes of a woman of 75. But he also made warm, respectful photographs of 'real' women for Dove's advertising campaign.
Rankin made the subversive socially acceptable. The establishment – the class that he opposed with Dazed & Confused – embraced him and soon he had prominent people in front of his camera. On the occasion of her golden jubilee Rankin made a portrait of Queen Elizabeth that is now part of the collection of the National Portrait Gallery. And he also photographed Tony Blair.
In 1986 Rankin moved from Scotland to London. Those were the years of the emerging visual culture. Thanks to Dazed & Confused Rankin made a flying start in the world of fashion and celebrity photography. He regards himself as a portrait rather than a fashion photographer. "Most fashion photographers are not photographers. They love fashion more than photography, whereas I love photography more than fashion." His studio in London is situated at Old Street, next to the editorial offices of Dazed & Confused. There, with a child-like curiosity, he plays an insolent, cheeky game with images and reality, with humour and eroticism.

SHAKESPEARE'S comedy A Midsummer Night's Dream is being performed in a 1920s setting by Southwick Players.
Loved for centuries and one of Shakespeare's most performed plays, it will be directed by Harry Atkinson at the Barn Theatre, Southwick, from Wednesday, July 22, to Saturday, July 25. An experienced Shakespearian director, he is preparing a refreshing and inspired performance.
"I chose to direct this production in a 1920s setting because this era provides the perfect vehicle for its exuberance, its zany humour and its larger than life characters," he explained.
Musical director Michael James has arranged the 1920s numbers and composed the music for the fairies' song to give it a 1920s feel.
"We have chosen numbers to fit the themes of the play, Yes Sir, That's My Baby and I Love My Baby are the opening and closing numbers and give just the right feel to these four love stories," he said.
The play can best be described as a romantic comedy, full of confusions, misunderstandings, lovers' quarrels, fairy tricks and magic potions, all of which end happily with three marriages and great celebration.
Choreographer Laura Redmond has created dance and movement sequences to help the cast of 22 bring to life the magical world.
Oberon, King of the Fairies, is played by award-winner actor and director Tony Bright, of Wantley Road, Findon Valley, and Queen Titania is played by Joanna Ackroyd, of Amberley Road, Storrington.
