About snake
There are about 2500 species of snake in the world, among them 250 are poisonous. In Bangladesh among the 82 species of snake 28 are venomous, 12 species of them are sea snake.1 Venomous snakes of the world belong to the families Viperidae (sub family Viperinae: Old world vipers; sub family Crotalinae: new world and Asian pit vipers), Elapidae (including cobras, kraits, coral snakes and all Australian venomous snakes), Hydrophiidae (sea snakes), Atractaspididae (burrowing asps), and Colubridae (a large family, of which most species are non venomous and only a few are dangerously toxic to humans).2 There are 5 medically important groups of snake in our country, these are- cobra, krait, russel viper, green pit viper and sea snake. Among this majority of venomous bites in our country are cobras and kraits. They are mainly neurotoxic, and respiratory failure is the main cause of death following envenomation1. Snakes are docile in nature3. They bite defensively or when agitated. All the snake bites do not produce symptoms, only the bites by poisonous snake produces specific sign symptoms. Even 50% of the bite inflicted by poisonous snake does not produce any sign of envenomation. Bites rates are highest in temperate and tropical regions where the population subsists by manual agriculture. Estimates indicate >5 million bites annually by venomous snakes worldwide, with > 12,5000 deaths2. A World Health Organisation-funded study estimated about 8,000 cases of snakebite with over 20% mortality in BangladeshBangladesh are recorded between May and October (rainy season) with highest number in June. Lower and upper limbs are most common sites of snakebite, but it may happen in other sites as well. Delayed presentation to the hospital, lack of availability of antisnake venom and modern management facility are the main causes of death4.

Introduction of poisoning management
What is a poison?
A poison is any substance that causes harm if it gets into the body.
Harm can be mild(for example, headache or nausea) or severefor example,
fits or very high fever),and severely poisoned people may die.
The amount of a chemical substance that gets into the body at one
time is called the dose. A dose that causes poisoning is a poisonous
dose or toxic dose. The smallest amount that causes harm is the threshold
dose. If the amount of a chemical substance that gets into the body is
less than the threshold dose, the chemical will not cause poisoning and
may even have good effects. For example, medicines have good effects
if people take the right doses, but some can be poisonous if people
take too much.
Exposure to a poison
When people are in contact with a poison they are said to be exposed
to it. The effect of exposure depends partly on how long the contact
lasts and how much poison gets into the body, and partly on how much
poison the body canget rid of during this time. Exposure may happen
only once or many times. Acute exposure is a single contact that
lasts for seconds, minutes or hours, or several exposures over about
a day or less.
Chronic exposure is contact that lasts for many days, months or years.
It may be continuous or broken by periods when there is no contact.
Exposure that happens only at work, for example, is not continuous.
Chronic exposure to small amounts of poison may not cause any signs
or symptoms of poisoning at first. It may be many days or months
before there is enough chemical inside the body to cause poisoning.
For example, a person may use pesticide every day. Each day the person
is exposed to only a small amount of pesticide, but the amount of
pesticide in the body gradually builds up, until eventually, after many
days, it adds up to a poisonous dose. Only then does the person
begin to feel unwell.
How poison gets into the body:
The way poison gets into the body is called the route of exposure or
the route of a bsorption. The amount of poison that gets into the
blood during a given time depends on the route.
1) Through the mouth by swallowing (ingestion)
Most poisoning happens this way. Small children often swallow poison
accidentally, and adults who want to poison themselves may swallow
poison. If people eat, drink or smoke after they have been handling
poisons, without first washing their hands, they may accidentally
swallow some of the poison. This is a common cause of pesticide
When poisons are swallowed they go to the stomach. Some poisons can
pass through the gut walls and into the blood vessels. The longer
a poison stays in the gut the more will get into the blood and the
worse the poisoning will be.
If a person vomits soon after swallowing a poison, it may be expelled
from the body before a poisonous dose gets into the blood. So, if
the person does not vomit straight away, it is sometimes useful to
make the person vomit. There are two other ways to stop poisons
passing from the gut into the blood: (1) give activated charcoal
because this binds some poisons so that they cannot pass through
the gut walls; or (2) give laxatives to make the poison move through
the gut and out of the body more quickly. Poisons that do not pass
through the gut walls do not get into the blood and so cannot affect
other parts of the body. They move along the gut and leave the body
in the faeces.
2) Through the lungs by breathing into the mouth or nose (inhalation)
Poisons in the form of gas, vapour, dust, fumes, smoke or fine spray droplets may be
breathed into the mouth and nose and go down the air passages into the lungs. Only
particles that are too small to be seen can pass into the lungs. Larger particles are
trapped in the mouth, throat and nose and may be swallowed. A person may breathe in
poison when working with a poisonous substance inside a building without fresh air,
or when spraying pesticide without wearing adequate protection. Oil or gas heaters,
cookers, and fires give off poisonous fumes which may reach dangerous concentrations
if the smoke cannot get outside or if the room does not have a good supply of fresh
air. Poison that gets into the lungs passes into the blood vessels very quickly
because the air passages in the lungs have thin walls and a good blood supply.
3) Through the skin by contact with liquids, sprays or mists
People working with chemicals such as pesticides may be poisoned
if the chemical is sprayed or splashed onto the skin, or if they wear clothes soaked
with chemical. The skin is a barrier that protects the body from poisons. However,
some poisons can pass through the skin. They pass through warm, wet, sweaty skin more
quickly than through cold, dry skin, and they pass through skin damaged by
scratches or burns more quickly than through undamaged skin. A poison that damages
the skin will pass through more quickly than one that does not damage the skin. It
may be possible to wash poison off the skin before a poisonous dose gets into the
4) By injection through the skin
Poisons can be injected through the skin from a syringe, or a pressure gun, or during
tattooing, or by the bite or sting of a poisonous animal, insect, fish or snake. The
injection may go directly into the blood vessels or under the skin into muscle or fatty
tissues. Poison injected into the blood has a very quick effect. Poison injected
under the skin or into muscle has to pass through several layers of tissue before
reaching the blood vessels, so it acts more slowly.
How poison is carried round the body
Once a poison gets into the blood it is carried to the whole body as the blood is
pumped round the body by the heart.
How poison is broken down by the body
Some poisons are changed by the body into other chemicals. These are called metabolites,
and may be less poisonous or more poisonous than the original substance. The
metabolites are more easily passed out of the body than the original chemicals. These
changes take place mostly in the liver.
How poison leaves the body
Unchanged poisons or their metabolites usually leave the body in the urine, faeces or
sweat, or in the air that a person breathes out. The movement of poison from the blood
into urine takes place in the kidneys, and the movement of poison from blood into
breathed-out air takes place in the lungs. Poison in the faeces may have passed down
the gut without being absorbed into the blood or it may have been absorbed into the
blood and then passed out into the gut again. Some poisons, like DDT, pass into body
tissues and organs where they may stay for a long time.
Effects of poison
The effects of a chemical substance on the body may be described as either local or
A local effect is limited to the part of the body in contact with the chemical: the
skin, the eyes, the air passages or the gut. Examples of local effects are skin rashes,
skin burns, watery eyes, and irritation of the throat causing coughing. Many poisons
cause local effects, but there are also many poisons that do not.
A systemic effect is a more general effect that occurs when a poison is absorbed into
the body.
Some poisons cause both local effects and systemic effects. If someone has local
effects from exposure to a chemical it is important to check whether they also have
signs or symptoms of systemic poisoning.
Local effects
1) On the skin
Chemicals that damage the skin cause reddening or a rash, pain, swelling, blisters or
serious burns. The burns are like the burns caused by fire.
An irritant chemical causes itching, a burning feeling, or pain when it first touches
the skin, but does not cause burns if washed off straight away. However, if it is in
contact with the skin for a long time, for example when people wear contaminated
clothes for several hours, it might cause burns.
Some irritant chemicals have no effect the first few times they touch the skin, but
with continued contact they cause reddening or a rash. This might happen with repeated
use of a household cleaner.
Sometimes people become sensitive to a chemical after they have used it many times.
They may have no effects at first but after a few weeks or months they get a rash every time they use it.
A corrosive or caustic chemical very quickly causes painful burns and destroys the
skin. There may be blisters and the skin may turn grey-white or brown.
2) On the eyes
Irritant or corrosive chemicals can cause severe pain if they get into the eyes.
They may very quickly burn the surface of the eye and cause scars or even blindness.
The eyes will look red and watery. The person may not want to open the eyes and bright
light will hurt.
3) Inside the gut
Irritant or corrosive chemicals may damage the mouth and throat or the inside of the
gut. The person will have belly pain, vomiting and diarrhoea, and the vomit and faeces
may contain blood. If the throat is burnt it may swell very quickly, so that the person
cannot breathe.
4) Inside the air passages and lungs
Some gases and vapours can irritate the nose, throat and upper air passages and cause
coughing and choking. Some gases and vapours damage the lungs in a way that causes
them to fill with water. This may happen very soon after a person breathe in the
substance, or it may happen up to 48 hours afterwards. A person with water in the
lungs cannot breathe properly and may drown. He or she must be taken to a hospital as
quickly as possible. Water in the lungs is called
lung oedema. Some of the gases that cause lung oedema also irritate the nose, throat
and upper air passages, and make people cough and choke.
Some poisonous gases, such as carbon monoxide, have no effect on the nose and throat.
Poisonous gases that do not cause coughing and choking are very dangerous because
people may not know they are breathing poison. Petroleum distillate liquids, such as
kerosene, may cause lung oedema when swallowed.
5) At injection sites
Irritant poisons that are injected into the skin, such as poisons from insect stings
and snake bites, may cause pain and swelling where they are injected. People who
accidentally inject themselves with veterinary products, when giving injections to
animals or birds, may get local effects.
6) Systemic effects
There are many ways in which poisons can cause harm:
* By damaging organs such as the brain, nerves, heart, liver,
lungs, kidneys, or skin. Most poisons have a greater effect on
one or two organs than on other parts of the body. The organs
that are most affected are called the target organs.
* By blocking messages between nerves.
* By stopping the body working properly, for example, by blocking
energy supply or oxygen supply.
Effects on unborn babies
Some poisons can harm a baby inside the womb. This is most likely during the first
three months of pregnancy when the nervous system and all the major organs begin to
form. The parts of the baby usually affected are the bones, eyes, ears, mouth and
brain. If the damage is very bad the baby will stop growing and die. Some poisonous
chemicals may harm a baby in the womb without harming the mother. This is serious
because there is nothing to warn the mother that her baby is in danger. If a mother
drinks alcohol or smokes during pregnancy it may harm her baby. Medicines may also
harm a baby in the womb. Pregnant women should never take medicines unless they are
prescribed by a doctor.
When systemic effects happen
Systemic effects only happen when the amount of poison in the body is greater than
the amount the body can get rid of, and the poison builds up and reaches the threshold
Some poisonings happen by accident but some happen when people try deliberately to
harm themselves (self-poisoning) or others. There are other circumstances that may
result in poisoning:
– eating food containing poison;
– taking, or being given, the wrong kind of medicine or the wrong dose;
– taking drugs because they change mood or behaviour, or using
– plants or chemical products for this purpose.
Accidental poisoning
Accidental poisoning may happen when:
– young children or old people handle poisons not knowing what they are;
– people mistake poison for food or drink because it is not in its original
– people misuse chemical products or medicines;
– people use or misuse pesticides;
– people work with chemicals;
– people are exposed to carbon monoxide, usually at home.
Poisoning in childhood
Many poisoning accidents in the home happen to small children aged between 1 and 4
years. At this age children want to explore. They like to put things in their mouths
but they are not old enough to understand that some things might be harmful.
The chemical products most often swallowed by children are:
– household cleaners such as bleach, detergent and disinfectant;
– paraffin and kerosene used as household fuels;
– cosmetics;
– medicines;
– paint and products for household repairs;
– household pesticides.
Poisoning in old age
Old people may poison themselves accidentally. If they cannot see very well, they may
pick up the wrong bottle and swallow a household cleaner, for example, instead of a
drink or a medicine.
Taking products out of their own containers
Accidents can happen when someone takes a chemical product out of its container and
puts it in another one. The new container does not have the right label so nobody
else will know what is inside. Even the person who did it may forget.
Pesticide poisoning
Most pesticides are also poisonous or harmful to humans if they get on the skin, or
if they are breathed into the lungs in the form of gases, fumes, dust or fine spray
droplets, or if they are swallowed.
Poisoning at work
Many chemicals that are made, used, or stored in workplaces are poisonous. People who
work with these chemicals need to know how to handle them safely to avoid being
poisoned. Sometimes workers may not know that they are handling a poisonous chemical,
or they may know that the chemical is poisonous but not have been told or shown how
to handle it safely. They may not have read the label or the safety information.
Sometimes they may know the dangers but be too lazy or careless to use safe methods. Accidents, fires or explosions at work may result in chemicals spilling or leaking out of their containers onto roads or into rivers, or vapours and gases being released into the air. Sometimes chemicals spread over a large area and poison many people. Chemical waste and empty chemical containers may be serious safety hazards if they are not dealt with in the right way.
People may try to harm themselves by deliberately taking poison -this is called
self-poisoning. In some countries people take medicines to poison themselves, but
people living in rural communities are more likely to take pesticides. People
suffering from depression, serious illness, or alcohol dependence may try to kill
themselves by taking poison. They may swallow large amounts of medicine, pesticide
or other poisons. If they recover they might try to poison themselves again unless
they receive appropriate treatment.
Poison in food or drink
Food or drink can be contaminated by poison from microscopic organisms such as
bacteria, viruses, or mould, or by chemical poisons. Some plants, mushrooms, animals
or sea-creatures contain poisonous chemicals. Poisons made by plants, animals or
microorganisms are called toxins.
Chemical poisons
There are many ways chemical poisons can get into food and drink, for example:
– when people working with chemicals eat in the workplace or do not wash
their hands before eating;
– when chemicals spill onto food as it is being moved from place to place,
or when it is in a storeroom;
– when food or drink is stored or cooked in containers that are contaminated
with chemicals;
– when people make flour from grain that has been treated with pesticide
because it was meant to be used for seed or bait, not for food;
– when people brew their own alcoholic drinks and produce poisonous alcohols,
such as methanol;
– when water supplies are polluted by accidental spills of chemicals, or by
chemical waste from factories or waste dumps near watercourses.
Medical poisoning
Sometimes people are poisoned by medicines given to them by a doctor or another health
care worker. They may be given the wrong medicine or be given the wrong dose of the
right medicine.
Abuse of drugs, chemicals or plants
People may take drugs to change their mood or behaviour, to feel relaxed, or to get
more energy. This is called drug abuse because it is not a medical use of the drug.
Some people abuse drugs such as heroin, cocaine or barbiturates. Drinking too much
alcohol is an important kind of drug abuse.

|Chaucer reciting Troilus and Cruseyde.
The medieval courts had proceeded no further with Chaucer's prosecution and, before we commit Chaucer to the sentence of posterity for rape, it might be as well to examine the evidence. Apologists for the poet have suggested that 'raptus', in the official document, signalled not rape as such but some kind of forcible kidnapping which was not uncommon in the period. It would have been usual, in that instance, for a phrase 'abduxit' or 'asportavit' to be included with 'rapuit'; no such addition was made. On the other hand if 'raptus' meant in the modern sense rape - that is, forcible copulation and coerced sexual intercourse - then it was usual for words such as 'violavit' or 'defloravit' to be employed. There was also a phrase of the same import, 'afforciavit contra voluntatem'. None of these words or phrases is included in the document. What, then, is the meaning of 'raptus'?

Callin' All Rough Riders Out Yonder To LCT East Show
Get ready to throw down for a rootin' tootin' rawhide smackin' good time at one helluva rodeo of a trade show.
DALLAS, TX -- Eric Devlin, president and owner of Premier Transportation Services, may be the only guy in Dallas praying for game-day gridlock at the new Cowboys Stadium.
The vision of 100,000 fans descending on Arlington at once is sheer beauty, says Eric. "If they're going to sit in traffic, they might as well sit in style, comfort and enjoy themselves in a limousine."
Dallas Cowboys games at Texas Stadium typically brought Premier $5,000 each in revenue. Monday Night Football games, playoffs and showdowns with the Washington Redskins or Philadelphia Eagles were worth $10,000 or more.
He expects bigger and better in the bigger and better venue this fall.
He can use the business. Recessions and limos aren't exactly a winning combo.
Devlin is weathering the downturn by hustling new clients, giving extra care to existing ones and finding opportunities in competitors' misfortunes.
"You can't cut back on customer service. You can't cut back on your vehicles' maintenance or insurance," he says. "So unfortunately, the only way to hold your own is to absorb other companies' losses."
Premier was recently named national operator of the year by trade magazine Charter Tours at the National Limousine Association convention in Las Vegas.
[LCT CORRECTION: Operator Of The Year in the 31-50 vehicles category by Limousine, Charter & Tour at the 2009 International LCT Show in Las Vegas]
Devlin's goal is to break even this year with $5 million in revenue, which would be off 10 percent from a highly profitable 2008.
A typical trip in a sedan from downtown to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport costs $79.52, including tip, tolls and airport fees.
Devlin, a 1989 marketing and management graduate of Baylor University, started the business in 1996 with two town cars and two other people – his partner Jim Stowe (whom he later bought out) and a reservationist. "I would sell, Jim would drive, and she would dispatch and handle the phone calls."
Premier now has 45 vehicles and 60-plus employees. Stowe still chauffeurs 25 hours a week. "He's an older gentleman who loves the business and has stayed with it," Devlin says.
Referrals roll in
Premier has eight trees of customer referrals that are at least six people high, Devlin says. "That makes us aim for perfection, because if you mess up on Person Six, there won't be a Person Seven."
One of those started with Colleen Barrett, retired president of Southwest Airlines Co.
"She said she'd give us a shot," Devlin recalls of his five-minute cold call in 1996. "So we put our very best chauffeur on her first trip."
Devlin's timing was perfect. Barrett was being treated for breast cancer and needed to be on time for her appointments.
"I just couldn't rely on cabs," she says. "Finding Premier was the best stress reliever I ever allowed myself for my personal well-being."
She personally paid for most of her ground travel because she doesn't drive and didn't think that should be the airline's problem. Herb Kelleher can drive, but most of us are grateful that he often doesn't.
In the last 13 years, the dynamic Southwest duo have collectively logged 115,206 frequent-rider miles with Premier.
Says Barrett: "They are efficient, productive, on time, proactive in terms of customer service delivery, excellent about flexibility as to changed schedules, reliable, etc. – sound familiar?"
Three years ago, Premier set up a network with ground transportation operators in other cities that now accounts for about a quarter of its annual revenue.
"Our clients appreciate the one-stop shopping," Devlin says. "And when we call our associate in New York, we're a $15,000-a-month client, not a $100 transfer."
Limos have become big deals for high school proms, quinceañeras and Sweet 16 parties.
To make the typical six-hour, $1,200 prom service more palatable to parents, Premier will make a second circle to pick up and return parents for an outing while the students dance the night away.

This month, three new experiments take significant steps in the hunt for dark matter, the elusive substance that appears to make up more than a quarter of the universe, but interacts very rarely with the matter that makes up our world. The experiments — the Axion Dark Matter eXperiment, the LZ Dark Matter Experiment, and the Super Cryogenic Dark Matter Search at the underground science laboratory known as SNOLAB — learned in July that each would receive much-needed funding from the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. National Science Foundation. Each of these "second-generation" experiments will be at least 10 times as sensitive as today's dark-matter detectors, increasing the likelihood that they will see the small, rare interactions between dark matter and the regular matter we all interact with every day.
Three astrophysicists — Enectali Figueroa-Feliciano of the MIT Kavli Institute and the MIT Department of Physics; Harry Nelson of the University of California at Santa Barbara; and Gray Rybka of the University of Washington — recently discussed preparations for the newly funded dark-matter experiments, and the likelihood that one of them will strike gold. As the experimental plans start to coalesce and detector equipment starts to arrive for ADMX Gen2, LZ, and SuperCDMS SNOLAB, the scientists presented their views on whether these projects will at long last discover dark matter. The interview, conducted by the Kavli Foundation, can be found on the Kavli website.
In support of the recent funding opportunities, Figueroa-Feliciano, Nelson, and Rybka will also answer questions about the next generation of dark matter experiments in a live Google Hangout on Nov. 20 from 12:00-12:30 p.m. Members of the public may submit questions ahead of and during the webcast by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com or by using the hashtag #KavliLive on Twitter or Google Plus.

The Compound Blur effect blurs pixels in the effect layer based on the luminance values of a control layer, also known as a blur layer or blurring map. By default, bright values in the blur layer correspond to more blurring of the effect layer, while dark values correspond to less blurring; select Invert Blur for light values that correspond to less blurring.
This effect is useful for simulating smudges and fingerprints, or changes in visibility caused by atmospheric conditions such as smoke or heat, especially with animated blur layers such as those generated by the Turbulent Noise effect.
Control Layers Used
Maximum Blur: The maximum amount, in pixels, that any part of the affected layer can be blurred.
Stretch Map To Fit: Stretches the control layer to the dimensions of the layer to which it is applied; otherwise, the control layer is centered on the effect layer.
Steve Holmes provides a video tutorial on the Artbeats website that demonstrates the use of the Compound Blur effect.

Fargo mayor wants MLK Jr. Day to be paid holiday for city workers
FARGO – City leaders here recently proclaimed Martin Luther King Jr. Day a holiday for the first time but didn't say city employees would get the day off, which would put it on par with other holidays.
Mayor Tim Mahoney is hoping to fix that Monday by asking the commission to change city policy.
"We do other programs that day that the city sponsors," he said of the city's longtime participation in events honoring the late civil rights leader. "To me, you're not really allowing people to celebrate the day to think about things. With a lot of stuff going on around the country right now, we think it's pretty important to honor these things."
He said he meant protests that highlighted unfair treatment of black people by police in some areas and concerns about refugees from the Middle East.
Also, not having the day off can cause problems for some city workers, Mahoney said. Federal and state governments in the region, as well as the schools, already close for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. So employees who have children in school, for instance, have to arrange for child care that day.
Fargo city employees now get nine holidays off, the same as their counterparts in West Fargo, who also do not have the day off for the King holiday.
West Fargo Mayor Rich Mattern said there hasn't been any discussion about instituting a day off for city workers there on MLK Jr. Day, which is observed on the third Monday in January to fall close to King's Jan. 15 birthday.
"To be honest with you, it's never come up. I'm open to talking about it, certainly," Mattern said.
State employees in North Dakota and Minnesota have 10 days off, including MLK Jr. Day. Local governments in Minnesota, such as the city of Moorhead, get at least nine days off, including the King holiday, and may pick an extra day from Columbus Day or the Friday after Thanksgiving.
After first being proposed as a federal holiday in the late 1970s, the first national observance of MLK Kr. Day as a holiday was in 1986. At that time, 17 states had similar holidays. By the end of the decade, nearly every state had established the holiday, according to The King Center, a nonprofit established by the prominent civil rights leader's wife in the wake of his 1968 assassination. New Hampshire was the final holdout, adopting MLK Jr. Day in legislation passed in 1999, according to The King Center.
Though common for government workers, a paid holiday to honor King's legacy is far more rare in the private sector. A survey of more than 600 businesses conducted by Bloomberg BNA found that in 2014, only 35 percent of responding employers gave workers the day off.
Fargo city commissioners had voted unanimously on Dec. 7 to declare the third Monday in January MLK Jr. Day, but it was a proclamation that made no mention of giving city employees the day off.
The proclamation, submitted by the Human Relations Commission, said the city created the Human Relations Award in 2002 to give out on the King holiday, and it encourages "all people to celebrate Dr. King's memory by continuing to work for the dignity and humanity of every person."
Commissioners expressed surprise then that they and their predecessors never got around to making MLK Jr. Day an official holiday.
Current Fargo city holidays are New Year's Day, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Veterans' Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Cloudy conditions stretch from the Florida Keys north through the North-Central peninsula, with most of the weekend precipitation focused on southern areas. (Credit: NOAA)
The parched Florida peninsula finally got some relief as the week wound down, with nearly an inch of rain drenching some southern areas.
In West Palm Beach, Palm Beach International Airport measured 0.78 of an inch Friday after .02 of an inch of an inch Thursday. Adding that to the 0.44 of an inch that fell on Dec. 1, the monthly total rose to 1.24 inches, an above normal total for the first nine days of December.
Fort Lauderdale had 0.62 of an inch Thursday and a trace of rain on Friday as most of the rain cells migrated in off the Atlantic over the Palm Beach coast. But some parts of northern coastal Broward County were hit with between 1.5-2 inches from Friday morning through Saturday morning, the South Florida Water Management District reported.
Officially, Fort Lauderdale has had 1.29 inches of rain this month, and moderate to heavy rain had again set up over the Broward coast on Saturday morning, so look for those totals to spike.
Miami has had 1.11 inches, with significant rainfall likely on Saturday.
On the other hand, the West Coast has been more or less skunked, as the recent cold front that swept down the peninsula and stalled over the Florida Straits set up northeast winds and delivered most of the moisture to the East Coast.
Slightly drier air has been in control in Central Florida, but the area is still under heavy cloud cover and that, along with cool temperatures in the 40s and 50s, has been giving the state the sort of "raw" breezy conditions typical of mid-autumn in the Midwest and Northeast.
The heaviest rain over the next several days — through Monday at least — should be focused in the Florida Straits near the Upper Keys, NOAA's Weather Prediction Center says. Graphical forecasts show 1.67 inches falling near the Islamorada/ Tavernier area through Monday.
So far, the Keys haven't had much rain out of this front. Marathon picked up 0.04 of an inch Friday while Key West reported just a trace.
The southern Keys were still on the warm side of the front as the week wound down. Key West checked in with a high on Thursday of 85, tying a record set in 1978. Friday's high was a little cooler 79.
A return to more tranquil weather is in the forecast with slightly above normal temperatures on southeasterly winds, according to the National Weather Service.

We can not rely upon the government in a Crisis
"We can not rely upon the government in a Crisis" By Joseph Parish. When you pick up the morning newspaper or switch on your favorite news channel on the television you are continually bombarded with negative aspects of our country. You see how the economy is being downgraded, you make note of the high unemployment rate, you readily witness homes being lost as the banks foreclose on them and hear of the general civil unrest taking place here in America. This tends to sound alarms within certain groups of people – one faction being the growing cluster of "preppers" around the nation. Click here

Yes, you read that right. This year's pancakes will be the most GLAMOROUS INDIE ROCK AND ROLL PANCAKES EVER.
Shrove Tuesday happens to coincide this year with Lipstick Testing week, in which I wear lipstick and try not to feel like a dork. Little things make a difference when baby mothering, and my personal rules of selfhood go something like this: 1) wear makeup every day; 2) get dressed every day; 3) have nails painted if possible. The only nail varnish I've got at the minute is a pearly pink that looks lovely in the pot but more like Essence of Senior Citizen on my nails, but I'd rather see that when digging through a solid food nappy than nothing at all.
Yesterday, inspired by this fabulousness, I bought a red lipstick. Red red RED. It is fire engine red. It is fifties housewife red. It makes me look like a dork. I know there are different types of red and this one seems to be on the pinkish/orange side, so perhaps I need a bluey-red (yes, such things exist). Stage one is to wear it without feeling like an idiot around the house. I had a crack last night and it went jolly well with my pajamas, but in the cold light of day I'm struggling a bit. I keep reapplying it and then being mocked by my reflection and compulsively scrubbing it off ten minutes later. Also it keeps rubbing off on my baby and other things (will this happen a lot?). Stage two will be to wear it out of the house. I am shrivelling inside at the thought.
Anyway, tonight: lipstick and pancakes. I take pancake day seriously so have some major preparations to make this afternoon. Just know that they will be very glamorous preparations indeed. They will be full of intrigue. I may have to find a frilly dress and a cigarette holder from somewhere or other. But no cigarettes, because, urgh.
Do you have a lipstick you can't live without? Or do you think I am an orangey-red or a bluey-red? (Or some other colour entirely? I draw the line at purple.) Someone must know these things: is it you?

Oh what fun.. we will just chalk it up to a lot of bike mishaps all on one day.
What could go wrong, did! I some how got a flat tire between my morning ride and my attempt at a afternoon bike ride with Celina.
It started off all good, with Steve loading up the bikes for me on the back of the car.
I didn't figure out I had a flat till I went down the huge hill at Fort Snelling State Park. 100%flat and no way to keep riding on it if I didn't want to wreck my wheel. I had to walk my bike back to the car. We had a super hard time getting to the park with construction and me going off a bad memory of how to get there. We did a lot of going the wrong way and making a huge circle around and back on the highway. It took double the time to get there.
My next mistake was forgetting to take my credit card and ID out of my bike pouch whIle driving home. I they were going to fly out on the highway. Instead of that happening, Celina's bike came off the rack on one side when we were on the big bridge with no where to stop. Ugh... got that all fixed once I could stop in a safe place. It was just not a good bike trip.

Winter looms. Darkness rules. You can expect lots of storms with names. Look around you and you'll see windswept skylines and bleak people. It brings to mind the classic line from the movie '6th Sense' in which a young boy confides to Bruce Willis, 'I see dead people'.
And I see them too. Especially, but not exclusively, at this time of year. Hordes of folk who are alive but not really living. Too many people are having what I call a 'near life experience'.
I've been studying the science of happiness for 12 years and here a few lessons to help us turn the winter blues into pinks, oranges, reds, neon green and sparkly turquoise.
Lesson #1: What have the Danes ever done for us?
Something you might be familiar with, the Danish concept of 'hygge'. It's a super-sexy word that's been doing the rounds since last winter. Pronounced 'hoo-ga', there is no direct English translation. Sitting by the fire on a cold night, wearing a woolly jumper, while drinking hot chocolate and stroking the cat on my knee. That's pretty much 'hygge'. Eating home-made cake, being wrapped up in scarf and beanie on an early morning walk, Early Grey served in a proper china cup, family get-togethers at my mum's, getting into a bed warmed through by an electric blanket - they're all hygge too.
The best approximation is 'cosiness' or 'being enveloped in snuggliness', but it's much more than that. Hygee is an entire attitude to life that helps Denmark to consistently rank in the top 3 world's happiest countries. Helen Russell suggests that "The rest of the world seems to be slowly waking up to what Danes have been wise to for generations - that having a relaxed, cosy time with friends and family, often with coffee, cake or beer, can be good for the soul." This incredibly simple quote is more important than it might seem. It mentions family and friends and hints at what we already know, that relationships are crucial to happiness. Eating cake and drinking beer on your own might be very tasty but it's certainly not hygge. A sense of belonging is crucial, whether that's to a family or community. And this is where there is massive strain on UK happiness. We are so busy that we don't know who lives next door, or family is spread so far and wide that we only see once in a blue moon. Social media has opened up the communication channels so that you can be in touch with anyone – via a keyboard. But that's most certainly not hygge.
I can't help thinking that winter is perfect for hygge spotting. If it's good enough for the happiest country on the planet, then it's good enough for me and thee.
Lesson #2: 7 second hugs
Trust me on this. The average hug lasts 2.1 seconds. Which is perfectly fine. But for the love to properly transfer between two people, a hug needs to last 7 seconds or longer. Obviously, reserve it for the people you love most (so, for example, it's not administered to strangers in the park) and don't count out loud (cos that kills it) but get it right and it's a game changer.
Have a huggy winter. It spreads warmth, love and happiness.
Lesson #3: Calculate your happiness
According to the esteemed researchers at the University of London's Institute of Education, here are some monetary values of happiness:
- Seeing friends and relatives is equivalent to a pay rise of £64k a year
- Having nice neighbours is worth £37k a year
- And the biggy? Excellent health is estimated to be worth £300k a year to you
I sincerely hope you can tick some of the boxes above, in which case, please do your sums. If you can tick them all then you're a lottery winner. That should put a spring in your step.
Lesson #4: Quit your 'wait problem'
Too many people are putting happiness in the wrong time zone; I'll be happy at Christmas, I'll be happy in the summer, I'll be happy when I retire…
The result is we have a massive 'wait problem'. Getting stuck in the rut of wishing your life away is a terrible waste of your days. In fact, it makes no sense at all. So wake up to the fact that Winter and Summer are equal. They both represent a quarter of your life.
Quit waiting. Life is the ultimate special occasion.
Lesson #5: More Scandanavian Happiness
The Swedes have a word, Lagom, which doesn't quite translate into English. The best approximation might be 'adequate', 'sufficient' or if I'm allowed to create a new word, 'enoughness'. The science of happiness tells us that there's nothing wrong with having money and possessions (at no point on the money/happiness graph does money make you less happy) but the relentless pursuit of 'more' leads to unhappiness.
So quit pursuing more and settle for the happy medium of lagom. With a super-expensive Christmas looming, think about cutting down on 'stuff''. A really cool happiness trick is to learn to appreciate what you already have.

A swift moving fire early Thursday gutted a two-story home under renovation on East Macada Road.
Bethlehem firefighters arrived at the home, 942 East Macada Road, at 2:10 a.m. and worked to extinguish the flames in less than 30 minutes, said Bethlehem Fire Chief Robert Novatnack.
A homeowner had been at the site performing renovations and was awake when the blaze broke out, Novatnack said.
He was the only person in the home, escaped and dialed 911, Novatnack said. There were no reported injuries.
The fire chief said the cause and origin of the fire remains under investigation and is being assessed by the city's fire marshal. The home has been deemed uninhabitable and the homeowner is staying elsewhere in the city, Novatnack said.
The 900 block of East Macada Road remains closed as fire officials investigate, Novatnack said.

Ephemeral summer is about to flit by in the Northern Hemisphere and it's all about Autumn/Winter 2009. But winter – the wild and woolly, stormy, windy part of it – is clinging on tenaciously in the Southern Hemisphere. Which means the AW09 Toast clothing catalogue makes the ten thousand kilometre transition nicely. The catalogue always features gorgeous, lush photography evoking the company's vision of luxurious, English living – bluestockings, Bloomsbury, Oxbridge, the Jazz Age and wild, isolated country life in sparse, weathered rooms of rambling, dilapidated mansions. This season, there are nods to the Roma and Fairisle and the Far East. And not a bodycon dress or high-heeled platform shoe in sight. Just beautiful, comfortable clothing which slightly bookish (moody!) women leading busy lives can throw on and look lovely in.

Did my real Maiden Voyage this morning. Took a 20 mile drive out in the country most of it on a dirt road. Took it nice and slow around 20-30 mph and enjoyed the view. Got out on the paved road and opened her up to around 50 mph! Ran great pulled the hills just fine. Even went off the road a little on my place and climbed a small hill in 4X4 high range. Realy did not need it but what the heck I was having fun! Mark H.
Yes it is on the 10th of May in our town. I just finished the bed sides today made them out of Oak and Redwood with stainless steel bolts. Finished it with Danish Oil Finish. Got to clean her up for the show now. Mark H.
Wish I had a shop and space to do that. I even know where theres one like yours been sitting in a leanto for who knows how long.
You kept your Chevy. Have you decided to fix it up into your tow rig?
Good luck with your toys. You sure do a fine job building and rebuilding things. And I really enjoy seeing what you are doing and hope you continue to post your progress. I wish I had the energy and time....

So I was messing around with Reiji and trying to see what kind of looks he can accomplish. I need to really work on my other dolls since even Grimm and Kanna don't have many photos and I've had them for some time. Eeks, sorry guys. Anyway, I swapped a darker color of wig for a lighter one I got a while back. It fits really well!
Ok so I have seriously no photography skillz and no fantabulous backdrop for dolls so you need to put with this white/blue background thing lol.
Nana: Reiji, you changed your hair.
Reiji: ……..
Nana: It's kk I still loff you lol lol 🙂
I really need to get a DLSR. These was taken with my iphone lol just look at that quality pfft.
I took some nice pictures of Nana today 🙂 I'm really starting to bond with her now, and really appreciating her sculpt 😉
I love the way she can pose, but she has difficulties standing on her own; this was a lucky photo since she was threatening to keel over the moment I let go of her. And her shoes cost even more than average HUMAN SHOES.
But I really like taking pictures of her and Reiji together. I posted a few pics on my Instagram but never released this one 😉
I don't have a lot of outfits for Nana because I'm so dirt poor at the moment, plus, in my doll family… male dolls outnumber the females lol.
Aside from that I really like taking couple photos. I need to sort out my posing skills but check it out anyway! 🙂

Allahu Akbar:-
This is a cry of Glorification (Takbir) meaning 'Allah is greater'. Contrary to the general perception, this was a cry used by the Pagan Arabs long before Muhammad and his Quran (Ishaq 62).
It meant that the god Allah was GREATER than all the other 360 gods and godesses in the pantheon of the pagan Arabs.
This pagan tradition also, was absorbed , subsumed and 'Islamized' by Muhammad into his new Cult Belief System and constantly used as a TERRORISING battle cry by him and his followers.
In fact this expression is also used when animals – as well as humans – are being slaughtered.
Bukhari Sahih Hadith 5.456
"Muhammad led the Fear/ Terror Prayer [Allahu Akbar] with one batch of his army while the other (batch) faced the enemy."
** This is also called the TERROR VERSE by the Muhammadan exegetes ***
Bukhari Sahih Hadith 5.516
"When Allah's Apostle fought or raided people we raised our voices saying, 'Allahu-Akbar! Allahu-Akbar!None has the right to be worshipped but Allah." By Hiwa Khorsed

In looking at the weather forecast, it is looking like a 30% chance of thunderstorms. Not the best weather to ride in but knowing will help plan what I wear.
After last weekend long ride I know finishing in under 4 hours is my goal. There are some steep climbs but great down hills to pick up speed and time. I have my nutrition plan down and am started to get excited. Should be a fun fast race.
Last Saturday I thought I was going to freeze and could not wait for the sun to break through the clouds. A few easy rides this week on the rollers and out on the road are on the schedule leading up to race day.

An aide for Sen.
Rand Paul has been told to expect federal charges against his socialist neighbor who attacked the Republican senator last week, Fox News' Shepard Smith reported on Thursday. She says she doesn't know of any history of property disputes between Paul and Boucher.
"As to reports of a longstanding dispute with the attacker, the Pauls have had no conversations with him in many years", Doug Stafford, Paul's senior adviser, said as he referred to the neighbor, Rene Boucher, 59, of Bowling Green. The first "conversation" with the attacker came after Sen.
While Dr. Boucher only faces a misdemeanor charge at the moment, he could potentially face both felony and federal charges as the investigation progresses. "Anyone claiming otherwise is simply uninformed or seeking media attention". Rand Paul of Kentucky says he ended up with six broken ribs after a freaky attack by his neighbor last week while he was mowing his lawn. Paul's ribs were broken. "This is a serious criminal matter involving serious injury". Rand Paul tweeted on Wednesday that his most recent medical checkup showed six broken ribs and fluid buildup in his chest.
In a report Monday evening, The New York Times spoke with neighbors and three Kentucky Republicans familiar with what had transpired.
Boucher is a retired anesthesiologist and has lived next door to Paul for 17 years. Alicia Stivers says Paul called her husband right after the attack, said he feared Boucher might return, and that he had called police.

A provision of the Human Services Code bill moving its way through the General Assembly as part of the final package of budget-related bills could potentially bring some dramatic changes to Pennsylvania's Medicaid managed care system.
According to a poll released Wednesday by American Petroleum Institute-PA, Pennsylvania voters overwhelmingly disapprove of the concept of a consumer-funded nuclear bailout.
While there currently is no specific legislation introduced to create such a bailout, API spokesperson Michael Tadeo said the organization wanted to get out ahead of the issue.
"We wanted to inform members of the statehouse as they return in September that voters in the state are against this," he said.

Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey: Hosting the Super Bowl is a 'win' for the state
Arizona was awarded the opportunity Wednesday to host Super Bowl LVII in 2023, bringing one of the biggest events in sports to the state for the fourth time.
NFL owners voted unanimously at the league's annual spring meeting in Atlanta this week, where Arizona Cardinals owner Michael Bidwill, Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey and Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee Chairman David Rousseau pitched the state.
Ducey joined 98.7 FM Arizona's Sports Station's Burns & Gambo on Thursday, calling the opportunity to host the Super Bowl a "win" for the state.
"This is fantastic news, we will be bringing Super Bowl LVII back to the Valley of the sun in 2023," Ducey said. "It was a big win, Arizona wins in this Super Bowl regardless."
Arizona last hosted the Super Bowl in 2015.
Before that, Arizona hosted the championship game in 2008 — also at the Glendale stadium, and in 1996 at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe. University of Phoenix Stadium has also hosted the 2015 Pro Bowl, 2007 and 2011 BCS National Championship games, and the 2016 College Football Playoff title game.
Over 700 million dollars was pumped into the state's economy as a result of the Super Bowl in 2015, but Ducey believes the impact could be greater in 2023.
"We will probably see a billion dollar economic impact," Ducey said. "We had 121,000 visitors here last time we hosted the Super Bowl, we had over a million people at Super Bowl Central in downtown Phoenix, all of those numbers are going to grow.
"There's 22 new hotels that will be in the Valley, there's new miles of freeway. There's a lot of things that will help with economic impact."
Arizona has faced criticism with past events due to the stadium being located in Glendale, a far drive from some of the state's most popular venues in Scottsdale.
Despite the distance, Ducey says it brings an opportunity for visitors to experience all that Arizona has to offer for major events.
"What I have heard people say is that the game may be in Glendale, but the party is in Scottsdale," he said. "I think it is really an opportunity to showcase our state, the different cities and municipalities and put things together."
Before landing in Arizona, the Super Bowl will take place in Atlanta, Miami, Tampa Bay and Los Angeles.
A new procedure put to rest the old bid system. Starting with the 2023 game, the league will choose a city to be the host, sides will work on a contract, then that deal goes before owners for a vote.
Ducey said he hopes to continue vying for the state to host the Super Bowl and other major events in the near future.
"The one thing we do great in Arizona is we try harder, this is a startup state," Ducey said. "I think you see this type of leadership in the business community where you have individuals like Michael Bidwill who step up and a governor like me who knows this is good for our state."

So, I saw this new phone on the T-Mobile webpage whilst checking my used minutes. It was such a pretty phone - just a hint of my favorite color - purple. It's a slide phone instead of my oh-so-old flip phone. I lusted after this phone when I saw it on the webpage because it was also a music player. Now I've had a cell forever but the idea that I could listen to my music on my phone and carry one less device in my purse on BART every morning was making me a happy, happy girl. My iPod (which was actually my son's iPod - he bought it - he hated it - he handed it over to me), was an iPod mini and was beginning to lose it's battery power - the altzheimers of iPods - they're never as good once they start losing battery power. Which, I suspect, is a cleverly disguised way to sell even more iPods (becase Steve J. doesn't have enough money yet.) For a company like Apple, who figqured out a way to merge the music industy and the internet when no one else could, who makes the most user friendly devices and puters in the verse, why can't they have a battery that lasts? Only one reason - if your battery lasts forever, you won't buy a new iPod.
I was resigned to the fact that I'd need a new iPod - cuz you have to have the tunes - and them video iPods sure are pretty - but I knew I'd be downloading videos left and right - I didn't want that to become a habit - why d/l Desperate Housewives when it's on free tv? So I figured once my paypal account had enough in it to justify the purchase, I'd buy the iPod. Then, I saw this phone. I was skeptical that it would be: 1. Too expensive & 2. Not hold enough memory for a decent playlist. I was wrong on both accounts. $120 later and a nearly lifetime commitment to T Mobile, I had my phone. I wouldn't even let my darling daughter touch it (she looks at electronic devices and they seize up and stop working). After 2 hours of trying to figure it out, I did have to hand it over to her to teach me. She discovered that my phone is also an FM radio receiver! True test if this is the perfect phone is manana when I see if it picks up a signal inside BART. I've got about 100 songs uploaded now so I'm a happy girl. I would have had more but iTunes songs won't play on it - but most of my music started out as legally purchased CDs - not many songs I actually purchased via iTunes. Just Nickleback and Daughtry - the ones I listen to A L L T H E T I M E which is why iTunes sucks. All in all, it's still a good thing.
