One of my must have items that has long been on top of my list is a portrait painting. But not any old portrait painting. I wanted a mid-century era painting of a woman from about the chest up or maybe sitting on a chair with her hands folded on her knee. Specific, I know, but that's why it remained on my list for, oh, so long.
But, alas, TODAY WAS MY DAY! In denial of the rain I ventured out in flip-flops and a dress, on my long walk up Hawthorne Street in Portland, on my way down to a big vintage market, I ducked into a store because I spotted some nice dining chairs, also on my list. They weren't what I wanted but I decided to look around. And all the way in the back corner I spotted my painting. I loved it. On cue the store clerk asked if I needed any help, I said, "yes, can you tell me how much this painting is?" She happily replied it had just been marked down. I hate this moment by the way, where you see something you love and you wait for the price, just knowing you are going to have to despondently say "oh, okay, thank you" and move on because it's out of your budget. But she said "36 dollars!" And I said, "Can you put a sold sign on that?" I was completely sold on it at that price. She then reached behind the painting and pulled out a photo of the person whom the portrait was made of, this immediately compounded on my desire to run out of the store with my new treasure.
She then went on to say "well, I don't know . . . but there is a possible story on this painting. It was purchased from a local mansion and it is said to be a portrait of one of Frida Kahlo's half sisters." At this point I just wanted to throw her my 36 bucks and chat after I had this fabulous painting in my now trembling hands. The owner of the store came up to wrap it in plastic as to keep it safe from the rain and shared the story with me again - though he said they were unable to verify it from the research they did.

The Section emphasized local and regional competition
which required artists to be tied to the area in which they competed. An
artist competing in the New York City area
This encouragement and further emphasis, whose primary aim was to help foster a continual sense of national identity ironically instead catered to the strenghtening of individual regional identity. The murals and photographs that individuals during the 30s were viewing were intended replicas of themselves and their lives. This development at first appears to be completely against the WPA's intial intent to democratize American art and help unify its people. However, while this style did spawn independent regional differences, it also laid the groundwork for America's unique cultural formation. In the United States, people brought languages and cultures with them when the immigrated, and it was co-existence or pluralism, and not pervasive local culture, that became characteristic of America.
Thus, by cultivating each region's differences and strongly insisting artists create within the boundaries of their geographic location's characteristics, the WPA indirectly helped lead to the construction, distribution, and subsequent democratization of American culture. Furthermore, it is through the process of their attempt to manipulate and manufacture an American culture that America's roots themselves shone through and cultivated the culture it was meant to have.

Did Harvard make me fat?
There has been a long-running, delicious food fight pitting a University of Colorado law professor and the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control against the Harvard School of Public Health on the subject of fatitude.
Most recently, law professor Paul Campos published an article in The New Republic titled "Why Harvard Wants You to Be Unhealthily Thin." Amid a heady mix of accusations, such as book-cooking and intellectual dishonesty, Campos indicts high-profile Harvard School of Public Health nutritionists Walter Willet and Meir Stampfer for relentlessly hyping the so-called Body Mass Index, or BMI.
"They've played a crucial role in promoting the BMI," Campos told me. "They lobbied to get the definition of overweight lowered from a BMI of 27.3 to 25. That turned 31 million Americans overweight overnight. They don't use science. If they weren't Harvard people, they could never get away with this."
What is the BMI? It is an old-fashioned biometric indicator, dating back to the 19th century. Your BMI is your body weight divided by the square of your height. It measures your adiposity, or fatness. (You can easily find a BMI calculator on the Internet.) A common perception is that the BMI "determines the degree of healthiness one enjoys," as one health website claims. Stampfer and Willett have written that having a BMI of over 25 is "a major contributor to morbidity and mortality."
I have a dog in this hunt. My BMI is 27.1. But most people don't think I'm fat. Let's say I am full figured, more like the Britney Spears who performed at last week's Video Music Awards than the former, pre-K-Fed, too-thin Britney. Here's the rub. My doctor has gently hinted that I might lose 7 or 8 pounds. But even if I did, my BMI would be 26 - overweight. If I were 15 pounds thinner, I would look terrific. But I would still have a BMI of over 25, and the Harvard docs would call me fat.
Perhaps too gleefully, Campos cites a Harvard Alumni Study that found the lowest mortality rates among those graduates who gained the most weight since graduating, while also exercising vigorously. "Such work suggests strongly that [obesity researchers have been] using fat as a proxy - and a poor one at that - for a factor that actually does have a significant effect on health and mortality: cardiovascular and metabolic fitness," he writes.
Campos isn't Harvard's only critic. Two years ago, CDC researcher Katherine M. Flegal released a study that "came to a startling conclusion," according to Scientific American. "Mildly overweight adults had a lower risk of dying than those at so-called healthy weights."
The World's Greatest Public Health School kicked into overdrive to trash the CDC findings. Harvard convened a fat symposium shortly after Flegal's work appeared in the Journal of the American Medical Association, to critique the CDC work. Around the same time, Willett wrote a letter to JAMA, calling Flegal's work "flawed and misleading." In an interview, Willett called the CDC study "complete rubbish," which seems a little strong. "The work got CDC's highest science award in 2006," Flegal told me. "I wouldn't call it rubbish."
Willett is not in the mood to compromise on the BMI indicator. (Easy for him to say; he's a 23 1/2.) "The data are clear. If you put on that extra weight, there are increased risks of diabetes, heart disease, gallstones, and various cancers," he says. As self-appointed tribune of the over-25 crowd, I ask: What about the "cycling paradox," described in The
As for Campos, who has been spitballing HSPH fat work since at least 2001, Willett says: "It's unfortunate that he's gotten into an issue that's complex, because it leads to confusion in the minds of many people on an issue that is very important to their health. It is important to remember that he is a lawyer with no scientific qualifications."
"Yes, that's Willett's position," Campos retorts. " 'I am the Mighty Oz and this is a law professor with no medical training.' It's like - here he affects a deep, authoritative voice - 'Ask your doctor if Cialis is right for you.' Their obesity standards are insane. You couldn't have a BMI of 21 unless you were in a concentration camp."

Sour yoghurt doesn't go well with coffee
As the title suggests, I had my first little accident in Sweden. Surviving without coffee was not something I was ever going to do, but when I bought sour yoghurt – thinking it was milk – and added it to the already cheap and nasty coffee, I got a fairly revolting surprise which left me caffeine-less for an evening. It's a mistake I have no intention of repeating, and I'm pleased to announce, that I have now figured out the Swedish word for milk – mjölk. Don't ask me why that was hard.
Settling in a new country is a little like being a recovering alcoholic; you have good days, you have bad days. Today is a good day. Everything seems a little easier now and I've regained some of my focus; if not really started any serious reading. Being a masters student is rather different from my time as an undergraduate. We have access to a study room exclusively for postgrads, we have a little kitchen to prepare food, 24hr access to the buildings, and an air of superiority – maybe that's just me. Having been set some reading for one of my courses I was surprised to notice a name
I recognised. The book in question was written by Chris Storrs, a Professor at Dundee who taught me during honours. I have to admit that I've never read any of his work before. It feels a little strange coming all the way to Sweden to read the works of my former teachers in Scotland. I've also decided that most of what I'll be tackling for my assignments will be Scottish history – which begs the question why I'm in Sweden. Well, I suppose there's the little fact of no fees.
In the last week I've realised how poor Scottish football is, not only because of our defeat to the Czechs (which was hard to swallow), but by watching the Swedish third division and noticing a parity with the SPL, I've continued to be sunburnt – Scottish skin is not made for this climate – settled into my new home, enjoyed class, played football with Swedes, drank coffee, had fika, liked fika, refused to eat raw heron, and began to enjoy the whole experience.
Julie visits on Wednesday… I'm counting the days. So much to catch up on, so much to see. For now, spare me a thought as I tackle the mountains of reading that I have been set. I need to make space for my favourite Scottish girl who will have my undivided attention for the latter part of this week.

Tree Dallas investors seeking $120,000 are trying to push American IronHorse into Bankruptcy. The Chapter 11 filing could force American IronHorse Motorcycle to reorganize or liquidize its assets to pay its debtors. The company ceased production in early February, fired most of its employees and Chairman Dwayne Moyers said at the time that American IronHorse planned to sell its assets to new investors before continuing with operations. Founded in 1985, the company has undergone several management changes since its founder Bill Rucker was removed by investors in 2003.

I can see why Rucker was removed. He's totally anal!
Mar 12th, 2008 at 9:26 am
I hope they can make it . They still have the best chopper of any custom production company out there including Big Dog. I sold my LSC out of fear when all this happened and now I regret it. Went to buy a new Harley Screaming Eagle but the dealers are as arrogant as usual. Most of their sales people including upper management don't even ride a bike. The main problem with Ironhorse for now is aquiring certian parts such as custom wheels with matching pulleys. All the rest is pretty much cut and dry aftermarket parts. And yes for all you American only riders. Get to know your ride better because Harley has more than it's share of Asian parts installed and this includes the Screaming Eagle models.

Psalm 119 tells us the benefits and attributes of the WORD.
In Genesis one God "said," "Let there be light." The WORD was there at that very moment. It tells us so in John one.
For each letter in the alphabet there is a section in Psalm 119.
Each section expounds on the character of God that is the WORD.
In the very first section we learn that happiness comes from obeying and keeping His laws and statutes and from seeking Him with all of your heart.
There are mighty purposes of the WORD including Psalm 119:11 I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. God uses the WORD to keep us from sinning.
It is like a chemical reaction; we memorize the WORD and at just the right time the Holy Spirit in us brings it to our remembrance. The WORD becomes like the yeast of our faith. It helps it to grow.
This process creates a delight or joy that abounds beyond the bounds of our heart and bubbles over into our mouth and out our lips. So the second section ends with, "I will not neglect your WORD." This is like a prophecy that comes true as you are reading. The more you are in the WORD the more the WORD is in you.
It becomes like a snowball rolling down a hill that just keeps getting bigger and bigger.

BMW Group is further investing in the electric vehicle market by adding more models with EV technologies. BMW, along with Mini, are set to add an electric version of the X3 and the Mini Cooper within three years.
The group began making EVS as early as 2009 with the Mini E. The electric Cooper served as a test bed for BMW Group's electric powertrain and was available to consumers via a leasing program. BMW Group then moved forward in the EV segment back in 2013 with the introduction of the i3. After the i3, BMW then introduced the i8, a plug-in hybrid sports car. Since then BMW has added plug-in hybrid variants for the 3 Series (330e), X5 (xDrive40e) and 7 Series (740e/740Le).
Top executives from the BMW Group did not attend this year's Paris Motor Show. Instead, they discussed the company's electric vehicle strategy and decided to create a new electric vehicle.
"Competitors are now in phase one on their electric strategy, while we're entering phase two. We're already well on our way to electrifying the core portfolio, using powertrain technology from BMW I. The BMW Group needs to continue the move in the direction of tech companies. The times when a strategy gets devised, agreed on and then takes 10 years to be executed are over. We have to continually adjust what we do and develop further all the time," said Harald Krueger, BMW Chief Executive Officer.
BMW Group also said that the electric Mini is expected to debut in "about three years".

By Rob Goldman, AngelsWin.com Historical Writer -
In 1974 the milestones for Ryan continued to pile up. On August 30, he became the first pitcher in modern baseball history to have three consecutive 300-strikeoutseasons. On September 7, he broke the record for which he is perhaps most famous.
Rockwell-American International provided parts for the NASA space program and the U.S. Army. George Lederer, the director of communications for the Angels, had an idea about using the company's finely calibrated technology to measure the speed of Ryan's pitches. Rockwell-American was willing, and using a device more accurate even than today's hand-held radar gun, Ryan's fastball was unofficially clocked at 100.9 miles per hour in a game against Detroit. After further refinements were made to the equipment, the Rockwell-American instrument was brought to the Big A to take an official reading.
In the ninth inning, on a 3-1 count against Lee "Bee Bee" Richard, Ryan's fastball was measured at 100.8, easily surpassing Bob Feller's 1948 mark of 98.0. Ever since, that pitch has been deemed by Guinness World Records as the fastest ever recorded.
But according to Angels catcher Tom Egan, it wasn't the fastest pitch Ryan ever threw.
"If that particular pitch was 100.8, then I would have to say he probably threw a few on other days that reached 105," he said. "I don't know whether they were strikes or not, but he could get it up there."
The Guinness pitch was belt high, says Egan, and balls Ryan threw from the belt up to the letters were always faster.
"I've thrown harder," Ryan himself said after that game. "The big build-up before the game got to me. I was a little tense and couldn't concentrate. I was worried I'd try to throw so hard, I'd blow the ballgame."
After the pitch to Richard, Ryanitis picked up a notch. Opposing hitters already had enough on their mind facing Ryan, and now they had to contend with the fact that every time they went to bat against him, they
were facing the "Fastest Man Alive."
Heading into the last home stand the Angels were dead last in the AL West, 25 games behind Oakland.
Ryan's last scheduled start was on the September 28, against Minnesota. With 352 strikeouts he was fast approaching his own record of 383. Williams gave him the option of another start against Oakland later in the week, but Ryan indicated little enthusiasm for that.
On the morning of the game, he was scheduled to attend autograph signings in Huntington Beach and Newport before heading to LAX to pick up of his pal from Alvin, George Pugh. The plan was for Pugh to take in a couple games, then caravan back to Texas with Ryan and teammate Dave Chalk. Ruth and Reid had already left for Alvin.
Ryan was tired and not looking forward to pitching that night. He'd already won 20 games, and there wasn't anything riding on the contest. But as he tossed in the bullpen before the game, he recalls, "I could feel the extra hop in my fastball. So I told Tom [Egan], 'I think I'll let it all hang out. What have I got to lose?'"
"When we started the game, I signaled down for a fastball that looked like it was going to be in the dirt, but when I went down to block it, it rose about two feet," recollects Egan. "The umpire called it a strike and told me I'd better sit still or he wouldn't be able to see the pitches. From then on I knew [Ryan] had a good day going."
As the game progressed and the Twins remained hitless, there was probably more pressure on Egan than Ryan. Nolan had already been through this numerous times; but this was Egan's first shot at a no-hitter, and he didn't want to call a bad pitch or make an errant throw that would give another Minnesota batter a chance to wreck it.
George Pugh remembers that it was lonely that night in the Big A. "The Angels were [24] games out of first place and nobody was at the stadium," he said. "I was sitting behind home plate, and there are so few people in the stands that Nolan later told me he could see me sitting there."
Back in Alvin, Ruth—who'd missed her husband's first two no-hitters—kept track of the game by repeatedly calling the stadium switchboard operator for updates.
"I would ask the operator the score and how Nolan was doing, and she would just say 'He's doing okay,' because she was afraid she might jinx him. The third time I called, I said, 'Lizzy, how many hits has he given
up?' She said, 'Uh…none.'
"Well, that's when I was really aggravated I wasn't there. I was excited but I also felt left out, because Nolan's sister and all of his friends were there, and I was sitting at home in Texas."
In the ninth, Pugh had a nerve-wracking moment.
"The Twins had some really good players, including Harmon Killebrew. Since it was the last weekend of the season, they were resting him, but now with two outs in the ninth they called on him to pinch-hit.
I'm on the edge of my seat thinking, Aw, god, Harmon Killebrew! Nolan only needs two outs. They could have gotten the other guy out easily and now they pinch-hit Harmon Killebrew! Jeez."
But Killebrew walked, which brought Eric Soderholm to the plate. Ryan got two quick strikes past the big infielder. Once again, the pressure was on Egan,
"I called for a curveball," Egan recalls, "and said to myself, 'Tom, if you catch anything clean the rest of your career, you catch this one!' Well, Soderholm swung and missed, and the rest was history."
Soderholm's whiff sealed Ryan's third no-hitter. It was his 15th strikeout of the night, giving him 367 for the season. Just 16 more would break his own record, and again Dick Williams offered to let Nolan pitch the
final game of the season.
"I'll settle for this," Ryan said. "I'm worn out. It was a struggle. Anytime you are as wild as I was, it's a struggle."
At the post game birthday party at Ryan's house, Pugh told him, "Man, was I nervous when Harmon Killebrew came up."
"Why?" asked Ryan in genuine puzzlement.
"Nolan," said Pugh, "it's Harmon Killebrew!"
"He looked at me like I was crazy," recalls Pugh, "and said, 'So what?' It turned out I had put more pressure on myself than Nolan did on himself."
Overall, Ryan was 21–16 with a 2.89 ERA, had completed 26 games, and pitched a personal-high 332 innings. His 367 strikeouts were the most in either league, and his combined 750 Ks over the last two seasons was also a record.
But Ryan also became the first pitcher since Bob Feller to walk more than 200 batters. On April 5, against Chicago, he walked 10 batters but won 8–2.
Perhaps most striking was that he had won 22 games for a team that finished dead last and scored the fewest runs in the American League.
In a column titled "The Curse of Nolan Ryan: It's Pitching for the Angels," Jim Murray pointed out that Ryan was hardly alone when it came to pitching for underachieving clubs, citing Dizzy Dean, Grover Cleveland Alexander, and Walter Johnson as examples of other pitchers who'd been in the same boat.
"Nolan Ryan is in the great tradition when he pitched impeccable ballgames for highly peaceable ball clubs," wrote Murray. "But before Nolan Ryan breaks up any furniture or jumps the club, he should know that Walter Johnson was involved in 64 one-run games. But shucks! He won 38 of them."
According to Murray, Ryan just plain threw too many pitches. To become a complete pitcher, said the columnist, Ryan needed to narrow his strike zone.
"Of his 172 pitches in his record-breaking game against the Red Sox," Murray wrote, "114 were strikes and 58 were balls—which is an inefficient use of a million-dollar instrument."
In 1975, after three years of relatively good health, Ryan's million dollar instrument would get the most severe test of his career. It would push his faith and fortitude to their limits.

Kiwi Coconut Protein Smoothie/
Hurricane Sandy has really put a damper on reality. Even the grocery stores are lined with barren shelves and day old bread. Sometimes you can find awesome deals though. Since the gas shortage has no end in sight, I decided to spend my time at home over the weekend. Opted for a noon run before lounging on the couch for the rest of the afternoon. Before that I did however use what is left in my gas tank to drive to the grocery store. Good thing it's only about 3 miles from my house. Since I knew I was going to go for a run soon as I got home from the store, I thought I'd take the opportunity [and time] to make a new post-workout protein shake. And 3 for $1 Kiwis sounded like the winning ingredient! What pairs well with Kiwis you ask? Strawberries of course. But I didn't really want to buy a whole carton of strawberries to only use 4. That's when it hit me - coconut! I've got coconut milk and shredded coconut at home! Sounds amazing! And amazing it was!
Perfect for a post-run meal - this smoothie is packed with lean protein and carbs our bodies need to replenish energy stores. On top of that, the tart and sweet flavor of the Kiwi was the perfect compliment to the smooth creaminess of the coconut. And the fact that it was green with little black dots made it oh-so-fun! Ok enough over-enthusiasm. Here's the recipe:
Question: Do you like Kiwi? What's your favorite way to enjoy this sweet green fruit?
Kiwi Coconut Protein Smoothie
Prep time: 7-10 minutes - makes 1 serving
2 kiwi, sliced and skin removed 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk 1 tablespoon vanilla sugar-free/fat-free instant pudding mix (powder) 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored whey protein 2 tablespoons shredded coconut ice
Put all ingredients in a blender including 1 tablespoon shredded coconut. Blend until smooth. You may need more or less ice for thicker consistency of smoothie. Top with the rest of the shredded coconut and enjoy!

AutoCAD 2016 saw the introduction of the Geometric Center object snap. If you aren't familiar with this snap, it basically will snap to the "geometric center" of an object, such as a polyline. What's the geometric center? Well, it's the centroid or center of mass. The problem is, this snap is not available in the Snap Override menu within Civil 3D 2016 or 2017.
<note>It was pointed out to me that this doesn't work in 2016. The shortcut menu in the ACAD.CUI that is installed with Civil 3D 2016 is incomplete as well. If you are using 2016, you'll need to copy the menu from the ACAD.CUI that gets installed with AutoCAD, not the one installed with Civil 3D. Open the ACAD.CUI in the transfers tab and copy it over that way. </note>
You'll also notice that in AutoCAD, you get the icons showing what the different snaps do whereas in Civil 3D, you don't. If you want to enable this, you'll need to replace the Civil 3D Snap Override menu with the AutoCAD version. To do this, go into your CUI editor (type CUI at the command line if you haven't been there before).
In the CUI, scroll towards the bottom (I hid the Command List to make it easier to see), expand out Partial Customization Files, ACAD, and Shortcut Menus. Under the Shortcut Menus, right click on "Object Snap Cursor Menu" and choose "Copy". Now that the AutoCAD version is copied, we'll go replace the Civil 3D version with the AutoCAD version. Collapse up the Partial Customization Files and expand out Shortcut Menus (directly under CIVIL), right click on Object Snap Cursor Menu and choose Delete.
Once the old menu has been deleted, right click on the Shortcut Menus and choose Paste. This will paste the AutoCAD version of the menu that we copied into the Civil CUI file. Now, simply close the CUI editor and return to Civil 3D and be happy with your new snap overrides menu.

In Pyramid #3/61: The Way of the Warrior, we see a very, very focused set of articles: six articles plus +Steven Marsh's intro and Random Thought Table, contributed by five authors . . . and the lead article was co-authored!
That being said, this one was interesting. "How about a theme issue," said Steven. BAM! And stuff rolled in. Lots and lots of it. The fact that we have two Martial Arts Designer's Notes articles in here – long ones – only highlights the fun that is the other six.
This is the second issue I've done an article-by-article review on, and yes, that might have something to do with my having two pieces in it. Still, it's very good, and very on-topic for me. So, here we go.
You can find my commentary on the first articles, More Power to Dungeon Warriors, Takedown Sequences, and The Devil's Fist in previous posts.
This style, if you'll forgive the shameless plug, would be way, way better using the rules in Technical Grappling, and even more so using the optional Destabilizing Strike included in this very issue (#3/61, p. 18).
Even so, this is a complete martial art, with striking via Karate and grappling via both Judo and Sumo Wrestling, which makes it unusual for actually including this skill, which is often overlooked.
It focuses on strength, which is cool, and would make a nice novel addition to any character whose background could include it and who also is very strong. Judo is almost certainly in there because of the emphasis on Sweep, though Wrestling and Sumo Wrestling, both with their ST bonuses (and again, even more so using TG) would be better. Actually, thinking about it, Wrestling would have been a better choice for everything but dealing with weapons – but the style is explicitly listed as a fusion of Te and the native art, and Te was built around dealing with enweaponed people while unarmed. Te also has a monster Technique list, so if one can read this style and think "kitchen sink Technique list," it is also worth bearing in mind that Te is one of the candidates listed as a good "Ultimate Style" (Martial Arts, p. 144) and so it's expected to have a lot of coolness to it. As such, Kicizapi does not disappoint.
Nomad Chain Fighting
This one's interesting if only because it's so very odd. Chain and entangling weapons are not usually a go-to for GURPS players – but as was pointed out in the TG playtest, they should be.
You can grapple from a distance, inflict a follow-on crushing attack, and because the basic attack mode isn't penalized, Kusari skill neatly dodges the usual -4 to base skill for throwing an entangle. You only need to worry about the location penalties.
Since you can also entangle a weapon with it, it makes for a powerful way to deal with those with long reach. The fusion comes in by combining the Kusari skill with Brawling, Wrestling, and Knife, which makes this a very ugly style, and that's meant in the nicest possible way. Not mentioned would be carrying several kusari, perhaps some with blades at the end, some not, so you could entangle a weapon, either disarming or rendering it harder to use, drop that one, and re-engage at a closer range with a new chain, entangling the legs, going for a takedown, and then finishing with the knife.
This is a cross of Silat and Savate, which makes it a dangerous pairing of entirely unusual martial arts. This art, with its blend of punches, kicks, and knife techniques, plus a body of spells, makes for a potent mix.
Highly aggressive and highly dangerous, this fusion style is not just a fusion of martial arts moves, but a nice fusion of religions and cultures as well, as the Hindu and Christian elements are mixed in a nifty jambalaya here.
Parting Shot
David was probably right to cut these, since we all must bow to the Gods of Wordcount, but he was also right to seek to have them published. This article spends perhaps a half-moment on the "how did this book come about?" part of a Designer's Notes entry, and focuses entirely and usefully on the outtakes.
This makes for a great stand-alone article, and it asks the question, and answers it repeatedly, "what would happen if styles X and Y, which never met in the real world, were to encounter each other, and be taught side-by-side."
It's a good read.

On Attracting Honey Bees
These cards each have a plant that is extra attractive to honey bees. There are also little tips on how to attract bees to your garden.
I was inspired to do these cards after having seen a photo of humans pollinating almond trees due to lack of bees.
I letter pressed them at The Arm in Brooklyn on cotton paper from Reich Paper (also in Brooklyn).
I have later discovered that Reich also has a paper made from 100% waste materials from sugar cane and textile factories. I will be using that for my next batch of cards.
Also I felt there was too much paper waste in this design (from the margins that were cut off) so I am trying to figure out how to set up a print that creates no paper waste.

Humanitarian crises and the response to them can both have a very negative impact on the environment. This environmental damage reduces the chances that crises will be resolved and that reconstruction can take place. It is therefore essential that the environment should be taken into account in a humanitarian response to protect the well-being and means of subsistence of the affected population.
The multiple links between the environment and crises
In times of crisis and post-crisis, there is short-term management of resources, the production of waste is not controlled and the environment can be put under strain, over-reaching its resilience capacity and leaving it degraded in the long term. This has a major effect on crisis management: as the environment provides the population with livelihoods and offers protection against potential crises (conflicts, natural disasters), its degradation compromises crisis resolution and reconstruction. In contrast, taking the environment into account reinforces the resilience of affected people and leads to better quality of programmes and greater coherence with the humanitarian mandate. In addition, it is a way of anticipating the future demands of the international community as a whole.
Why is the environment not taken into account more and what problems does this cause? What are the advantages and opportunities of taking it into account? How can operational organizations and donors integrate this approach into their programmes? Concrete answers are needed to these questions.
Sub-topics studies and actions carried out
Groupe URD has been engaged for numerous years in promoting the integration of the environment in the humanitarian sector, via numerous activities with a variety of actors. It conducts research and evaluations, develops tools, technical notes and training modules, and organizes workshops and events on the subject to raise awareness among actors and share its expertise.
- Reduction of the environmental impact of humanitarian aid: analysis of the consequences of aid and development of operational tools.
- Study of links between the environment and crisis management: the environment as a factor of disaster risk reduction, climate change adaptation, conflict resolution and resilience building.
- A methodology for taking the environment into account in humanitarian action: environmental context assessments, environmental impact assessments and environmental indicators.
- Training course: "Integrating environmental issues into humanitarian action": running of training sessions in Europe and crisis-affected countries, and the development of a Training Toolkit to help the dissemination of these training sessions and help actors to appropriate this approach.
- The Humanitarian Environment Network: Facilitation of the network which aims to promote the integration of the environment among member organisations and also throughout the humanitarian sector.
- Regularly updated literature review on the subject and a virtual library which is specific to Haiti (until January 2015 concerning Haïti).
Groupe URD also strives to be a model of environmental excellence itself. Its headquarters in the south of France (Drôme provençale) have been designed to reduce energy needs and waste production. Since 2012, it also conducts an assessment of its greenhouse gas emissions.

Finally got my first complete Frostgrave game in. Didn't get any proper pics for you but I'll log the game here for the other players to see the results.
My starting warband:
3 x Archer
2 x Thug
Treasury: 20 gc
Base: Inn (Chosen after first game)
Game 1: vs. another Summoner warband
Scenario: The Complex Temple
The opposing warband had a two game head start on me, having a better level wizard and better henchmen, but in the game this was evened out by my good rolling. Both players left the table with three treasures and minor injuries. My Wizard got a "never quite as strong" -injury which makes him start every game with one damage already suffered.
Experience: 270 (have not chosen upgrades yet)
Treasury: 250
Grimoire: Reveal Death
Staff +1 Fight
Mail armor +1
A fun game and a good start for the campaign!

Bill Goldberg, one of the more popular professional wrestlers of his time and the only undefeated champ in the history of professional wrestling, will have a new role in the sport of NASCAR. He will serve as the pre-race host for the Food City 500 on April 19th at Bristol Motor Speedway.
Here's what he had to say in the press release.
"NASCAR is near and dear to my heart. Bristol is like no other track on the planet and the driver introductions are a special treat for the fans. I plan to pump up the party and have some fun with the drivers."The driver introductions Goldberg speaks of are unique to Bristol. Ever since the 2009 Bristol 500, drivers have selected songs that would play on the loudspeaker as they were introduced, similar to how music plays when batters walk to the plate or a pitcher come in from the bullpen. Such songs that were selected for the August race at Bristol last year included Gangsta's Paradise (Alex Bowman), Tubthumping (Kasey Kahne) and Turn Down for What (Brad Keselowski).
In fact, have we ever found out why they don't do this at other tracks?

Here we go, some pictures of the puppets that I've been making and the preparation that I had to do for these amazing creations.
I started by getting used to the tools, I have modeld before, but just the basics like the head that you might have seen below.
So I started with what I know, head first. Exhibit A.
I then checked out some tutorials and such, then I made my wire frame, covered it with tin foil to fill it out, then i started to cover it with clay. As this was just a prep to go off of for when I did make my puppets.
After much labour and love, this is the model that was produced!

Bret Michaels denies affair with Miley Cyrus's mom
Bret Michaels may have made out with scads of women searching for his "Rock of Love," but speaking through a rep, the rocker turned reality show star says he never had an affair with Miley Cyrus's mom, Tish.
"Several reports of my client having an affair with Tish are unfounded and a fabrication," a rep for Michaels told E! News. "He has been a close friend of the family for some time because of his work with Miley."
Last week, Billy Ray Cyrus filed for divorce from his wife of 17 years citing "irreconcilable differences."
"It's unfortunate that Billy Ray and Tish have to be further tainted by these lies being reported," the rep continued. "The only relationship he's had with Tish is professional because he worked with Miley on 'Every Rose.' She recut it, and obviously they did that together at GMA in the summer, and his song 'Nothing to Lose' on his current album."
Thanks, rep, for taking this convenient opportunity to remind us about Bret's current album.

'I think I can run fast again'
Three years after he surprisingly crashed out of the semi-finals of the 400 metres at the 2015 IAAF World Championships in Beijing, after running a brilliant 43.93 seconds in the preliminaries to erase Jermaine Gonzales' national record, Rusheen McDonald has been working hard to prove that his sub-44 seconds effort was no fluke.
"That was a good race, but it could have been better. Something went down - a technical error before the race - that caused me not to run faster in that race and caused me not to run fast in the semi-final," McDonald said as he cast his mind back to that record-breaking memorable day.
But a car crash he was involved in three months after the championships and the injuries he sustained are the biggest obstacles in his bid to correct that 2015 error and silence the naysayers.
In January 2016, while on his way to a track and field meet in Kirkvine, Manchester, McDonald almost lost his life when his teammate lost control of the car they were travelling in and crashed into a median on the Bushy Park leg of Highway 2000.
His 2013 Nissan Skyline burst into flames moments after the crash, but the quarter-miler had enough time to crawl out of the jaws of death with small burns and fractured vertebrae.
The burns have long been healed, but the fractured bones in his back have become McDonald's worst nemesis.
"The back has been on and off ever since," the 25-year-old McDonald told The Sunday Gleaner. "When I run the longer distance, I feel it, but when I am running the shorter distances like the 150 metres, I do not feel it."
The quarter-miler was sidelined for the majority of the 2016 season and was not able to record a sub-45 seconds race in the 2017 season.
According to McDonald, this season, he has learnt to work with the discomfort from his back injury, and he is confident that he can get back to the days when running under 44 seconds was easy for him. "Based on training, I think that I can run fast again," McDonald said. "Coach has me doing some things in training, and I like it."
McDonald has been provisionally selected to be a part of the Commonwealth Games team but knows that he will have to run faster than the 46.19 he recorded yesterday at the G.C. Foster Classics if he is to land a spot in the flat 400m.
"Before the Commonwealth Games, I just want to get a better race out there, but I am not putting myself under any pressure. I just want to follow the instructions that coach gives to me," McDonald said.

What happens next in state, national health care?
The Supreme Court upheld the Affordable Care Act on Thursday, setting in motion a federal law that requires most Americans to obtain health insurance. Massachusetts has been down this road before, when it became the first state to pass universal health care in 2006. To find out what's next in health care, the Globe conducted a roundtable with industry leaders: Lynn Nicholas, chief executive of the Massachusetts Hospital Association, a trade group; Robert Restuccia, executive director of Community Catalyst, a consumer advocacy organization; James Roosevelt Jr., chief executive of insurer Tufts Health Plan; and Azzie Young, chief executive of Mattapan Community Health Center. Here's an edited excerpt:
GLOBE: How significant a moment is this for the health care system?
NICHOLAS: The family of health care here in Massachusetts, which is a very large extended family, was absolutely elated. It is an incredible historic moment for the Commonwealth, for the leaders who did health reform, and validates the leadership that being a commonwealth is all about.
YOUNG: It's a great moment for community health centers. It means more access to more individuals in more communities across the state, across the country.
RESTUCCIA: It's very exciting for the rest of the country to see that Massachusetts reform is the model, and we're going to be moving forward on it.
ROOSEVELT: It's a great moment for the American people in terms of the improvement of their well-being and their access to health care across the country. And it's great that the country has our model of success over the last five years in Massachusetts so that they're not just going into this with fears.
GLOBE: What lessons have we learned in Massachusetts since the 2006 law passed that are relevant to the nation's transition to universal health care?
YOUNG: We have 97 percent coverage — that's almost universal health care in this state. Moving ahead to implementation, one of the things we would suggest [to other states] is you elect a governor like Governor Patrick — he appointed individuals who could implement the law.
NICHOLAS: We can't say every single thing about this is Kumbaya and wonderful, but there are some lessons learned. One of them is that you expand the Medicaid population, and bring more and more deserving individuals under coverage. In that respect, that part of the state's budget gets larger and larger, and then it becomes a target.
In Massachusetts, as enrollment has just gone up, payments to providers and health plans that do Medicaid-managed care and work with providers to community health centers, etc., have not kept up. And when we did our reform, there was a stated promise to improve the Medicaid payment to the cost of care. That started happening for a couple of years and has precipitously declined. That's a lesson learned — you can't do the expansion at the sacrifice of paying adequately for the coverage.
RESTUCCIA: One of the most important lessons we bring to other states when we talk about Massachusetts reform is its impact on racial and ethnic minorities. It is quite remarkable what the reform has done — basically eliminating the disparity in health insurance among blacks and Hispanics. Most of us never thought it was going to happen.
GLOBE: What are some of the provisions in the national law that are not part of the Massachusetts law?
ROOSEVELT: One already in effect is no copays and deductibles for preventative care. That comes from the federal law; we do not have that in Massachusetts.
Secondly, all children up to age 26 are eligible to be covered under their parents' policies. In Massachusetts, that was limited to people who were within two years of still being dependents on their parents' federal tax return. That has to do with the fact that only the federal government can say that it's not taxable income. So that could only be in the federal law.
But the big change is making people eligible for Medicaid up to 400 percent of the federal poverty level, instead of 300 percent.
And of course, only the federal law could reduce the cost of prescription drugs under Medicare, because Medicare is a federal option.
YOUNG: For health centers, we have always been positioned to serve the broader population of low-income individuals, and with this law we're going to have more health centers, more access. We can serve more people. We're going to look at wellness care instead of illness care.
GLOBE: While the majority of Massachusetts residents like the state law, polls say the majority of US residents don't like the individual mandate. How much more turmoil is the nation going to go through before the issue is finally settled?
ROOSEVELT: I've looked at those polls in detail, and the majority here even supports the mandate. These are people who've lived under it. The federal law, there's a small margin that comes out against the law overall, 5 or 6 percent. If you break it down in the federal law, every single provision — usually comes out favorable in the polls, except the mandate. People don't know what the mandate means to them yet. They don't know that if you have actual insurance, you don't have to pay it.
Secondly, they don't know that the federal mandate is less than half as expensive as the Massachusetts mandate, and people have learned to live with that here and realize the benefits from it.
This is a key thing — supporters of the law, in particular the president and the Democrats running for Congress, have to explain the law much more clearly than they have up to now.
I have this hunch that until we had the Supreme Court ruling, supporters were afraid to go into a lot of detail explaining it, because if it was found unconstitutional, they would be made to look bad. Now, they're freed up to do that.
RESTUCCIA: You look at the claims that this is the largest tax increase in history, well, just think about Massachusetts, and how many people are paying [the penalty]. It's 48,000 people out of 6 million. So where do you get the largest tax increase in history?
The individual mandate, it's complicated, and I can understand why people have concerns about it; but it's fundamentally individual responsibility, and our responsibility to each other.
If [people] can afford it, and they get health care, and we have to pay for it, we're asking them to contribute.
NICHOLAS: We've got to do a better job of explaining what this means for patients in real life. We know the drivers of health care are chronic disease. It's not someone choosing to have a knee replaced or not; it's people with diabetes, overweight, obesity, congestive heart failure, asthma, and all that. We need to repackage the dialogue away from it's an insurance mechanism to it is a model of care that is better care for you and your family.
GLOBE: Since the federal tax is so low — in some cases just $95 — on people who can afford health insurance but choose not to buy it, is that going to work? Is that going to get them to buy insurance?
ROOSEVELT: That's a concern. It would actually be better if it were closer to the Massachusetts level [starting at $228 a year] because it's pegged to essentially the equivalent of a premium for getting coverage. So that would be a more direct connection.
However, we've seen in Massachusetts, for most people, the concept that this is what you're supposed to do, just like you're supposed to get a driver's license, just like you're supposed to have fire insurance on your house even though the fire hasn't started yet. I think that having a tax that you have to pay only if you don't do what you're supposed to do, [that] does change the whole mind-set in the country.
GLOBE: Talk about your own organizations, and how they'll be affected by the ACA.
YOUNG: Mattapan Community Health Center is in the process of building a new health center. It's more than doubling the space that we have right now, so that means we'll be able to serve more individuals, have more visits. All of this was made possible through [federal stimulus funding].
There are a lot of health centers now that have new buildings, preparing to serve the additional individuals who will be insured. Health centers in general have about 20 to 30 percent uninsured annually. Hopefully we'll be able to bring that number down and have more and more individuals get care.
NICHOLAS: There are cuts that are coming to all hospitals nationwide to help pay for the [additional] coverage. Even though we already made those sacrifices at the state level, we're still getting those cuts. And not just hospitals — community health centers and other providers. It amounts to over $5 billion starting in 2010 and ending in 2019 in Massachusetts. Almost all of that $5 billion is directed to hospitals.
But there's additional cuts coming on top of that. Those were done to implement the ACA. We have cuts coming in Medicare and Medicaid. Because Medicaid pays 71 cents on the dollar [for medical care] — and Medicare pays 92 cents on the dollar — most Medicare recipients don't realize that every time they go to the hospital the hospital loses money on you. There's a lot of financial pain yet to come.
ROOSEVELT: There is a tax on health insurance premiums for so-called fully insured, and that tends to be individuals and small businesses, as opposed to self-insured. For for-profit insurers, that's a 4 percent tax, for nonprofit that's a 2 percent tax. We don't like to see anything that increases premiums. And yet there had to be cobbled together in the bill a number of sources to pay for the expansions of coverage.
On the other side, we at Tufts Health Plan include Network Health, which is a Medicaid plan. I hope and believe Massachusetts will opt into the further expansion of Medicaid.
RESTUCCIA: Community Catalyst works with organizations in about 40 states. We're working all over the country around implementation of the Affordable Care Act with advocates in their states. Part of our job is to take the experience in Massachusetts and explain what's happening here in other states. Some of it's around outreach and enrollment in other states.
But as you look across the country, how lucky we are to have an administration that really wants to move forward on the ACA. Because when you go to Louisiana and you read [Governor] Bobby Jindal [saying] that Republicans must drive hard toward repeal [that] "this is no time to go weak in the knees." The advocates in that state are in a very different position.
GLOBE: Assuming the law is not repealed, look 10 years into the future. Will we have better, more affordable health care?
RESTUCCIA: When I think about Louisiana, Texas, Florida, it's actually a revolution there. This is the biggest thing since the Civil Rights Act. We just do not understand the impact that it's going to have in states like that, where you have 25 percent uninsured or close to it.
You just think about those people getting health care, what's that going to mean? The workforce issues, think about the money that's going into that state. I mean it's crazy that these governors are opposing the ACA. It's going to be an amazing experience for those people.
GLOBE: Azzie, do you think things will be better in low-income communities, health care will be better?
YOUNG: Absolutely, I do. Basically, we're going to have more health centers around. We will, hopefully, have more and more health care providers available to us to make all of this work. Because just having an insurance card doesn't necessarily give you access.
With the ACA, and particularly with earmarks for community health centers, we expect to expand, as well as improve where we are now with existing health centers. The future is bright, and with all of our health care partners, we're going to be able to build a healthier Commonwealth, a healthier America.
NICHOLAS: We will, regardless of what happens with the Affordable Care Act, have a more effective, affordable health care system in the Commonwealth. We may have fewer hospitals in the future, but we'll probably have more sites for primary care, and our hospitals will be working more in systems of care. They'll be aggregated to really provide more value, and chase volume less.
A big unknown is people's personal responsibility for their care. If we don't crack the nut on obesity, smoking, and all the factors that drive bad health in the first place, it will be harder to get there, so that's the next new battle when we get all the technical things worked out, but I'm very hopeful. Hospitals will do better in the long run. In the short run, many will suffer greatly with these cuts, and I expect that we will lose some hospitals in the process.
ROOSEVELT: We will have a healthier country. Right now, we're 27th in the world in health care outcomes. We can start moving that by having universal coverage. There are over 50 provisions that have to do with more effectively delivering care and encouraging wellness and treating or eliminating chronic disease.
Coverage is sort of the first step so you don't feel, "I can't get nutrition counseling, or I can't get a flu shot." The next steps are all the ways that you actually get to the treatment programs that you need, and to the advice that you need on how you keep you and your kids healthy.

Creatinine includes serum creatinine and urine creatinine and in most cases it refers to serum creatinine which is the metabolin of the muscle. It is slowly produced through irreversible non-enzymatic dehydration reaction and released into the blood and be discharged out of the body with urine through the filtration of kidneys.
Creatinine level is closely related to the total muscle in the body and it is seldom influenced by extra-renal factors such as diets, catabolism. If the intake of exogenous creatinine (the metabolin of meat products) and the production of endogenous creatinine (20mg/kg per day) are stable, the level of creatinine is mainly up to glomerular filtration rate (it is filtered out by the glomeruli and seldom re-absorbed by renal tubules). When the glomerular filtration rate declines to a certain degree, there will be increase of creatinine.
Under normal circumstances, the serum creatinine level for male is 0.7-1.2mg/dl and 0.5-1.0mg/ml for female. Since kidneys have strong compensatory power, increased creatinine indicates that more than 50% kidney functions have been lost. Creatinine 11 is much higher than the normal value, therefore it indicates very dangerous kidney damages and usually dialysis is ordered by physicians.
However there are indeed some patients having no obvious symptoms even when their creatinine level reaches 11. What is the reason and in such case should they start dialysis or not? This is because different people have different constitution and endurance of toxins. Weather patients start dialysis should not only depend on creatinine level. It mainly depends on weather patients have the following symptoms such as severe abdominal, chest, lung and pericardial effusion or severe neurotoxic reactions. These reactions are caused by excessive accumulation of wastes and toxins in the body and they will threaten the patients' life, therefore dialysis is needed immediately to help clear the internal environment.
