Throughout The Car Industry
Ford's Freakiest F-350 Has Been Sold in Chicago. And Now That We Can Track It, We Should Kill It... With Fire!
As you might have read in an article a colleague of mine wrote a while ago, the 1994 Dodge Ram displayed at that year's Detroit Auto Show is blamed/praised as the pickup design that set the tone for every rig that's followed. And for that, we all—yes, ALL—should kiss the ring of anyone involved in the creation—and implementation—of that truck.
Why? Because within an ugly-stick's throw of the Dodge display was Ford's, and they had their own idea of what the truck of the future should look like. Some might say that it was purposely "far-reaching" and the other things folks might say to soften their being (rightly) ashamed of this monumental screw-up, while others—like me—know this thing should've been killed at conception, period. [Don't like the big rig look of today's trucks? Just imagine two decades of trucks that look like THIS...]
That it not only still exists, and was actually sold to Joe Random at a recent car auction, is nothing short of miraculous. No, that's not the right word. What's it called when the Devil does something amazing? I guess... "this."
Known then as the "1994 Ford Power Stroke Concept Truck by Ford Special Projects" (and now as things even I can't get away with saying here), this screaming yellow abomination was created for two reasons: To "introduce Ford's new direct-injected turbo-diesel 7.3-liter diesel V-8 engine" (perfectly fine) and—wait for it—to "showcase the company's thinking for future styling ideas."
And BOOM goes the dynamite!
See, if they could've stopped at saying they gave their new engine a wrapper meant to make an otherwise boring engine display exciting, they could be forgiven. Hell, I'd give 'em a giant "Atta Boy!" for that, as everything they did here—from the squashed, fattened, and stretched bodywork to the searing "Sunfire Pearl Yellow" paint they slathered it with—is perfect for grabbing a-hold of your eyeballs.
Unfortunately, after the initial shock wears off you want to rip those eyeballs out so you don't have to see any more of this thing, even for a second. [BTW, if you find yourself trapped in a situation where you're forced to stare at it, make sure it's from behind. Just stare at that massive Blue Oval and pray for the bad man to stop…]
When sold as Lot F128, a "1994 Ford Custom Pickup", at Mecum's Oct. 10-12 Chicago sale, it was described thusly by the poor souls tasked with passing it on to the next unfortunate/blind owner:
"Featured on the cover of American Dream Cars: 60 Years of the Best Concept Vehicles [2002],the 1994 Ford Power Stroke Concept Truck by Ford Special Projects showcased the company's thinking for future styling ideas while also introducing its new direct-injected turbo-diesel 7.3 liter diesel V-8 engine. The Ford truck's exterior styling and Sunfire Pearl Yellow paint highlight advanced concept tail and loading light designs, a roof-extending sun visor with auxiliary lights, boldly flared running boards, unique prototype tires, upgraded interior trim and turn signals integrated into the outside mirror faces, a concept that proved ahead of its time. The closer one looks, the more obvious it becomes that this Ford experimental was a leading-edge concept vehicle."
Um… no. And it's not just 20 years of hindsight saying that. It's the fact that, until it surfaced on eBay in Oct. 2011 with a $40k starting price and "on a bill of sale only" (neither titled nor street legal), this thing was all but disavowed by its maker.
As soon as this, *erp* "dream car" went overripe—which happened even faster then than it usually does now—all that was seemingly left of this unfortunate creature was its low-res likeness as one of the 30 or so vehicles in the PC/Mac/Xbox/PS2 "Ford Racing 2" game of 2003 (and "Ford Racing 3" a year later).
[Other dream machines available for play—if you want to call it that—include a 1976 Gran Torino (sans "Starsky" slashes), a 1998 F-150 (why?), and a 2002 Explorer Sport Trac!]
But before you expend any energy trying to find either of these stultifying titles, know that you cannot damage any vehicle in play in any way. I mention that because if you could, you'd do what I would and that's just smash up the "1994 Ford Powerstroke" (as it's called in the games) in as many ways and for as many times as possible, and, well, some of you have actual lives you should pay attention to instead.
Done laughing? Yeah. OK, so if you want to waste another 2:41 of your life on this horror show you can hit YouTube for an in-period-looking (but posted March 31, 2013) video of what the poster [NOT Ford] calls the "1994 Ford F Series Concept Vehicle". It's mostly silent but it does include some driving footage, in case there was any lunch left in your tummy you wanted rocketed out.
But back to the auction. You might have noticed I've saved mentioning the sales price until now, and I did that for a very good reason. Before you started thinking about what a former Ford show truck might be worth, seeing as how so few make it out of captivity, I wanted you to look really, really hard at this one so you could reset your mental automotive-value calculator from "Car Show" to "Horror Show".
It sold for $32,500—yes, in real, American money—and that's before fees, taxes, etc., were added in. Now, no, that's not all that much coin to spend on a one-of-one, factory-built, operable, etc. "concept" vehicle, but seeing as how it's a "show car" you should be too ashamed to show—and a truck you can't even register, let alone haul with—it's pretty expensive.
It's even more so when you see that it's an evolutionary dead-end, or a "future vehicle" that didn't have one. Heck, $32.5k is just a grand short of where 2015 Ford Super Duty prices start, and that's for a truck you can actually use AND show.
In the interest of fairness, though, this screaming yellow nightmare does have ONE redeeming feature: When you go to Ford.com and look at their Super Duty page, the first piece of equipment they crow about is the trucks' "2nd-generation 6.7L Power Stroke" engine.
Sure, every truck since 1994 has sported its own variation on the original "Peterbilt Ram" grille, but when it comes to what truck buyers really want on their rigs, it's the engine that makes the decision.
[Of course, Ford wasn't stupid. Once they got wind of public sentiment regarding the Dodge's looks, they dropped EVERY Powerstroke styling element and made sure they put their great-running engine in a great-looking truck, a combo that will never go out of style...]

Whenever we travel, we try to seek out green hotels and green accommodations. In the last several decades, we have seen more hotels going green.
The Proximity Hotel is located in Greensboro, North Carolina and was built as a "green" hotel in 2007. The hotel has 147 guest rooms, banquet and conference space, and a full-service restaurant. During the construction of the hotel, over 70 different sustainable methods were used. The Proximity Hotel is considered to be a role model in "green" hotel construction. The regulations of the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System were followed during the building phase, which earned it the highest rating possible from the organization. Compared to a standard hotel, Proximity was built to use 30 percent less water and 40 percent less energy.
Learn about finding an LEED hotel here.
Guests will enjoy all of the latest and greatest in accommodations and amenities during a visit. Rooms are available from a spacious two-bed guest room to a two bedroom guest suite. All of the rooms are decorated with original art, custom furniture, and have double sink vanities. Guests will also enjoy newspaper delivery each morning, coffee makers, microwaves, mini-coolers, complimentary Wi-Fi, and some of the luxury rooms offer a gorgeous view of the city.
Travelers can take advantage of the amenities offered at the Proximity. You can start the day with an early morning workout in the fitness studio, take a dip in the pool, relax in the garden while enjoying a good book, catch up on emails in the working lobby, meet up with the rest of your party in the social lobby, or enjoy dining and a drink at the Print Works Bistro.
While enjoying everything that the hotel and the area have to offer, guests can also feel good that they are doing their part in keeping the environment clean. The following are some of the innovative "green" ways the hotel was constructed:
- The rooftop of the hotel is covered with 100 solar panels; it is these panels that heat 60 percent of the water used in the restaurant and hotel.
- The Print Works Bistro is made from solid walnut wood that was salvaged from sick trees or trees that succumbed to storms.
- The restaurant's refrigeration is run by geothermal energy versus a water cooled system.
- Much of the materials used in construction were recycled or salvaged in the following percentages: sheetrock – 100 percent, reinforced steel – 90 percent, asphalt – 25 percent, steel used in staircases – 50 percent
- The waste from construction was 87 percent recycled which resulted in saving 1,535 tons of debris from going to landfills.
- High efficiency Kohler fixtures were used throughout the building, which in turn is reducing water usage by 33 percent.
We love hotels going green
This is just a small portion of the methods that were used in building the green hotel. During a stay here, guests can visit the educational center, which can teach them about sustainable practices. A tour of the hotel is also available, in which all of the sustainable methods will be pointed out. The Proximity advocates the use of the green spaces in the community surrounding the hotel, such as the five mile biking and walking trail known as the Greenway. The hotel has bikes available for guests to use to take a ride on the nearby Greenway. Guests will not be disappointed with the safe, friendly, and clean atmosphere in and around the Proximity Hotel for those who consider staying at hotels going green.

Gold, silver and platinum are metals that have good value. For many years, many communities all over the world have invested in these metals. During the barter trade system that existed many years ago, these metals were considered to be very valuable, and they were used in the trade too. In the modern times, individuals who know the value of these metals want to have them in possession. The trend for these precious metals is passed from one generation to the other.
PR Newswire has come up with a report on people in the United States have maintained their love for precious metals up to date. Most of the times, people who have invested in the metals have found that they maintain their value no matter what happens to the market. The few individuals who have invested in gold have confessed how much profits they get at the end of the day. Gold is among the most valuable metals, and it is sometimes used to measure the economic climate of countries.
Some goldnews veterans from the past who wanted to pass the precious metals from one generation from the next decided to start a company where they could sell and buy their precious metals. This institution was started some time ago, and it is known as U S Money Reserve. The veterans made sure that the company put in places all the necessary measures to ensure that the customers who come to the institution get the best services.
The U.S. Money Reserve has worked hard since it was started, becoming one of the leaders in the precious metal industry. The company only deals with the government issued coins, and this explains why it is preferred by many people. Buying precious metals like gold from unauthorized people and companies can have serious problems with the clients, but those who choose to invest with the U. S Money Reserve do not experience this.
The company is headed by the president, known as Philip Dielhi. He was appointed to the position after working in the U. S Mint for many years. With the experience acquired in his previous employment, the president has made a lot of progress in the company. Not long ago, he oversaw the introduction of the online shop. This has benefited the country a lot, because many people, especially the internet community will be encouraged to buy the precious metals. Creating awareness has been made easier thanks to the online shop.

Bregje Holleman is associate professor, senior teacher and senior researcher. Her research takes place within the Utrecht Institute of Linguistics (UiL OTS). In the research group Language & Communication she is interested in the ways communication can support complex decision making, e.g. concerning what to vote, what to eat, how to save for a suitable retirement plan, whether or not to vaccinate. Also she is interested in the cognitive processes of text interpretation. Her main interest goes to the relation between opinions and attitudes and language. In attitude surveys: how do people answer attitudinal questions? Why are people's answers affected by very subtle language variation in these questions? In Voting Advice Applications: how does the use of VAAs (kieshulpen) help users to understand politics and understand their own position in the political landscape? And how is this affected by subtle language use variation? And in persuasive texts: why do people develop different attitudes or intentions dependent of the framing of messages? She led an interdisciplinary research group on the use and effects of VAAs, subsidized in the Begrijpelijke Taal-program by NWO (2012-2016) and was a co-promotor for two succesful PhD projects (Kamoen in 2012, and Van de Pol in 2016).
Bregje Holleman teaches in the BAs of Nederlandse Taal & Cultuur, Communicatie- en Informatiewetenschappen and Taal- en Cultuurstudies, as well as in the MA Communicatie & Organisatie. She coordinates a BA course on Persuasion (Communicatie, Emotie & Overtuigingskracht), and two MA courses on Research Methodology ("Vragenlijst en Interview" and "Communicatie Monitoren"). She supervises BA theses and MA theses on her research topics and on communication interventions, and is a tutor for 2nd/3rd yr BA students in Liberal Arts who specialize in Language and Communication.
Besides teaching and doing research she is coordinator of the program Language & Communication (Taal & Communicatie) for Taal- & Cultuurstudies (Liberal Arts) and chair of the teaching committee (Opleidingscommissie) Taal & Cultuurstudies. She's also a member of the teaching committee for several MAs in applied linguistics (Communicatie & Organisatie, Interculturele Communicatie), and (co)coordinator for the Language & Communication Research group within UiL OTS. She is one of the editors of Tijdschrift voor Taalbeheersing (AUP).

Bregje Holleman investigates the effects of wording variation on understanding and persuasion, in (attitude) surveys and persuasive or informative texts. She published on the effects of framing in attitude surveys and in persuasive or informative texts, as well as about the cognitive and communicative processes causing these effects.
In 2012 she was a awarded a research subsidy by NWO to do research on the use and effects of Voting Advice Applications. Bregje lead this interdisciplinary project together with Claes de Vreese (political communication, University of Amsterdam). Jasper van de Pol (UvA) was a PhD in this project, he succesfully defended his thesis Dec 21, 2016. Naomi Kamoen (UU) was (parttime) post-doc researcher, and is now a fulltime assistant professor at Tilburg University.
Is a glass half full, or is it half empty? Very often it's possible to describe a situation either in positive or in negative terms. Do some people tend to 'view' the glass as half full, and the pessimists as half empty? No, rather it seems that it is dependent of the situation which frame one chooses: a speaker will frame in terms of half full if the glass is in the process of being filled, and half empty when it's being emptied (cf. Sher & McKenzie 2006). Also, it turns out to be related to the conclusion a speaker intends to draw: if he wants to conclude an artist is very popular, a concert hall will be described in terms of 'half full' and not 'half empty' (cf. Holleman & Pander Maat 2009). In attitude surveys, both positive and negative wordings are advised to be used in order to avoid respondents' straightlining. Yet, research shows (Holleman 2000, Kamoen 2012) that negative questions are answered differently from their positive counterparts: with negative questions, evaluations seem to be more positive. What is causing these answering tendencies? In this research project I investigate the effects of positive vs. negative wordings in a variety of contexts (surveys, informative texts, persuasion, voting advice applications), and investigate the underlying mechanisms that might explain the occurrence of these framing effects. Is it in the semantic relation between the words, or in the pragmatics? In emotional negativity bias? In the attitude retrieval caused by the question, or in a shift of the response options' meanings?
I work on this (or I have worked on this) with Huub van den Bergh, Jaap Murre, Naomi Kamoen, Henk Pander Maat, Jasper van de Pol, Claes de Vreese, Jos van Berkum, and Marijn Struiksma
Voting Advice Applications (VAAs) have become a central feature of today's politics. They are used by almost half of the electorate prior to elections. Our current knowledge about the uses and effects of these tools, however, is limited. Research suggests VAAs affect the intention to cast a vote at all, and can affect what people vote. It is far from clear, however, which types of citizens are affected by VAAs, and to what extent their political attitudes and intentions are based on political literacy, on an increased understanding of the political landscape. To what extent do VAAs contribute to an increased understanding of politics and ones own position? To what extent do users feel they have gained a better understanding? And what question features turn out to be difficult to understand in user observation studies? What do users do when they don't understand? Look for additional information in or outside of the tool? Answer 'don't know'? Or 'neutral'? Does this differ for different elections? And does this differ from results about attitude surveys (no..).
I have worked on this with Claes de Vreese, Jasper van de Pol and Naomi Kamoen. Currently, I continue this work with Naomi Kamoen

In addition, insight is needed into the extent to which form and content features of VAAs affect citizens' political understanding, political attitudes, and decision-making. Our research team consists of experts from two universities, bringing together expertise from political science and communication science (Amsterdam University) with linguistics, document design and survey methodology (Utrecht University). By cooperating with a leadingVAA organization (KiesKompas), a city council (gemeente Utrecht) and the National Council for Government Policy (WRR), this project brings together different stakeholders of VAAs and a wide range of expertise and experience concerning VAAs, elections and thinking about our democracy, which will will produce new theorizing as well as 'science for policy making'. The research project is tailored to the NWO 'Begrijpelijke Taal'-program in its focus on how text (form and content) and reader characteristics interact, and how (political) understanding is related to attitudes and intentions, situated in a research context with high societal impact.
In 2016 and onwards, Bregje Holleman and Naomi Kamoen continue their work on the use of Voting Advice Applications. Besides, Bregje works on valence framing in attitude surveys and persuasive texts.
Bregje Holleman has taught a wide variety of subjects:- Research Methods en Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis Techniques: at Free University in 1998-2000, and at Utrecht University in the BA programme of Communication & Information Sciences, Dutch Language & Culture, Liberal Arts, as well as in the MA Communication & Organisation and in the Research MA Linguistics- About Text design and Text evaluation: e.g.,Voorlichtingsteksten, Document Design, Gedragssturende teksten, Instrueren en Overtuigen, Persuasieve Documenten, Tekstontwerp en Overtuigingskracht, Vragenlijst & vraagformulering - About Cognitive Processes of Text Interpretetation: e.g. Tekstanalyse, Vragenlijst en vraagformulering, Samenhang in Tekst en Discourse- Introduction to the field of Language and Communication

After a recent hike up Stone Mountain, HX and I stopped for a quick lunch at Community Q in Decatur. Somewhere (maybe on Google Maps) I seem to have read that the folks at Community Q were on a mission of some sorts (I don't really recall – locally sourced, sustainable, something like that?), but I really haven't hunted that info down.
If that is the case, more power to them, I was there to eat and don't really have a problem with eating just about anything…
We shared a combo plate with pulled pork and brisket. The pork – good flavor, lots of bark. Brisket – some was a bit dry, the rest had a good balance of fat & moisture. Nice, soft texture. Won't hold it against them – the dilemma that most BBQ restaurants face – how to hold meat at temp without it becoming dry. Maybe it's because I'm a Florida boy, maybe because my grandfather had a hog farm at one point, maybe because his joint only served pork – but no matter how much I'd like to, I just don't get brisket. Don't get me wrong, I love beef and this is no negative to Community Q, but brisket always disappoints me…
Macaroni & Cheese made with rigatoni – good tasty, sticky and substantial.
Baked beans – different that I've had before. Tons of onion (minced?) added sweetness and characteristic flavor. A little too sweet to eat much, but I'd order again.

on from the overwhelming success of the first ever Dressage evening
at the 2003 Olympia Christmas show, the organisers have announced
that they have been awarded an FEI Dressage World Cup Qualifier.
order to do complete justice to this important addition, the organisers
have announced that the show will now run over two extra nights,
beginning on 14th December and ending on 20th December 2004.
Dressage Grand Prix Evening will take place on Tuesday, 14th December,
and the all-important Kür (dressage to music) will be held
on the following evening, Wednesday 15th December.
shows Director, Simon Brooks-Ward, said: Dressage was
such an incredible success in the Grand Hall last year, that we
knew the time was right to host our first ever World Cup Qualifier.
We now have two of the most important international competitions
under one roof. Dressage has been growing in popularity in this
country and we will now be able to showcase the worlds greatest
Dressage horses and riders.
Dressage Chairman, Desi Dillingham, who has been appointed to the
Olympia Committee, said This is possibly the most important
development in British Dressage in decades. It gives an amazing
platform to promote Dressage to a huge audience. It will also give
British riders the opportunity to show how good they are in front
of their home crowd.
16th to 20th December there will be two performances per day. If

One of the most common misconceptions we find in dentistry is that many people think all white fillings are the same. This is far from the truth. There are fundamentally two different types of white fillings – porcelain and resin.
We often compare the difference between porcelain fillings and composite fillings like the difference between your plastic picnic plates verses your fine china dinner wear. They're like chalk and cheese. In terms of terminology, plastic white fillings can be referred to as composite or resin. Porcelain fillings are often called inlays, ceramic or Cerec restorations.
Both types of restorations utilise the same blue light that is used to set hardened cement material. The resin is placed in soft and set hard with the light, whereas the porcelain restoration is a hard prefabricated filling that is bonded into the cavity. When a filling is on the larger side, requiring corners or what are termed as cusp replacements, we always recommend porcelain reconstruction of the tooth to ensure that you are not back in the dental chair fixing the same tooth again any time soon.
The porcelain filling is no doubt more expensive, but when you consider you may have to replace a plastic resin filling over and over, the cost differential may prove to be a lot less than first envisaged. For bigger restorations at the back of the mouth we normally use a porcelain, which is quite strong. And for smaller fillings, like smaller cavities in the front of the mouth, we normally use plastic or resin fillings. For removing or replacing of the amalgam fillings, Cerec is probably one of the best choices to use then.
At Smile Solutions both options of white fillings are readily available. It's a matter of working out with you which option best suits your expectations and budget. The benefits and advantages of having a Cerec porcelain filling as opposed to a normal, white filling is it's a single visit procedure.
The nice thing is we numb you up once, it gets done in 90 minutes and you're out the door and it's all done. So it makes a lot more sense, especially with people nowadays that don't have a lot of spare time.
The other thing is it's a lot more superior. It's a lot harder; it's really more natural looking than resin. It blends in very well with the surrounding tooth structures.
Another thing is conservation of healthy tooth structure. With modern bonding techniques that we use today there's no need to remove a lot of the tooth structure. We just remove what's necessary and replace that with a ceramic inlay.
In terms of the procedure itself, first of all we do an examination, we take x-rays, we see what needs to be done.
Then we numb the patient up, we remove all the decay and the filling that needs to be replaced.
We then take an infrared camera and take photos of the tooth. So we've got an inter-oral camera, which is a 3D camera, and we put it on the tooth and actually take pictures. And you can see the picture's coming up on the screen, on the Cerec unit, and that basically forms the model. From that model we then actually design your new restoration with the help of a computer. And the nice thing about that is we can actually change and make the filling bigger, make it any shape we want, until we're happy, until the patient's happy. Then we actually put in a block of ceramic into the metal unit, and start milling the restoration out of the block so that it comes out exactly the right size. Then we just polish it, make it nice and shiny, glue it in, check the bite, and there you go.
As an expert in the field of Cerec dentistry I started using this technology in 2001 and since then I've probably done around 5,000+ of these restorations. I'm lucky to be with Smile Solutions where we have a very large group of specialists and other Cerec users as well in the practice. We come together once a week to discuss cases and really further our knowledge and share whatever information we've got with each other.

Larry Summers has something to say about crude oil. Specifically on this historic crash -- where the price of crude oil has been cut in half over the last 6-months.
While many do not agree with Summers, and especially some of his predictions, he is still incredibly followed, watched, and at one point was almost considered the replacement of Ben Bernanke:

Christmas was a dream. About three weeks before Christmas, I was talking to a waitress who told me that she was from Seattle and had never had a White Christmas before. So when the rumors started going around that the weather reports showed a good chance of snow on Christmas Eve, I tried to take a chill pill and not get my hopes up.
Well, on Christmas Eve the snow started to come down. We had cozied up by the fire in our new Christmas jammies, after filling our bellies with the Bryant traditional Mexican foods of sopa fideo, cheese enchiladas and beans. I ran outside when I saw that the snow as coming down and I almost started crying. It was just so magical.
Also, William REALLY loves Charlie. He's the best dog, ever.
After opening gifts and having our traditional Christmas morning breakfast of Æbleskiver, we put on our warmest gear and spent a good amount of the morning in the snow. We're pretty lucky to have a really fabulous sledding hill in our backyard so we took our sled and had a blast sledding in all the fresh powder.
Lulu mostly rotated between naughty and nice faces while she made snowballs and threw them at my face. She also enjoyed making snow angels and being adorable. Three is such a fun age!
For Christmas dinner, I made Herb Crusted Prime Rib with Horseradish Cream, Garlic Sautéed Green Beans, Pear + Parsnip Gratin and Ginger Lemon Molasses Cake with Whipped Vanilla Cream. It was a delicious feast!

Package of four stories, plus boxes, on Parkinson's Disease; includes three profiles of people living with Parkinson's Disease
Stories appeared in a business journal
Stories by Robyn Davis Sekula
Louisville, Ky | June 2007
Carrying on the fight against Parkinson's
Dr. Irene Litvan has spent her career trying to improve the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease in patients.
Litvan, the Raymond Lee Lebby professor of Parkinson's disease research and director of the movement disorder program at the University of Louisville, became interested in the topic while working at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md. She began her career studying memory and how memory works.
In the course of doing clinical trials, Litvan had several patients with Parkinson's disease. The trials didn't go quite as she expected, and that's when she began to think more about how Parkinson's disease is diagnosed and treated.
Litvan's clinical practice is at Frazier Rehab and Neuroscience Institute.
Intrigued by research results
"Whenever you study something, you get more questions than answers," Litvan said. "The patients did not improve as I expected, and I began being concerned about how we are
making the diagnosis."
Parkinson's disease is a neurological disorder, Litvan said. "The nerves in the brain die slowly,
faster than when we are aging," Litvan said. "We don't know why the nerves die. Certain areas of the brain die that have to do with the motor system. One particular area has to do with how quickly we move, how stiff we are, and it affects other areas that may lead us to have tremors."
In 90 percent of cases, Parkinson's is a "sporadic" disease for which there is no known cause,
but multiple factors could be involved, Litvan said. Age is a main factor. As the frequency of Parkinson's increases with age, and environmental factors such as pesticides, particularly rotenone, also are a cause.
In the other 10 percent or so, she said, familial and genetic factors are involved. Parkinson's disease does not result from an accident, such as a blow to the head, but someone can develop Parkinson's-like symptoms from repetitive head injuries.
Difficult to nail down
Parkinson's disease is particularly tricky to diagnose, Litvan said, because it can manifest itself in many different ways. Though the public often associates it with tremors, that's only a small part of how the disease can affect patients.
Patients have trouble moving their arms and legs, develop a stooped, stiff walk, have a soft voice or even lose the ability to speak. They also could find their handwriting reduced to a scrawl. Some patients lose their sense of smell or have difficulty swallowing. Not all of the symptoms show up in all patients, and anyone of the symptoms could be the first telltale sign of Parkinson's.
Doctors in a variety of specialties can see the symptoms but misdiagnose a patient with Parkinson's because they lack experience with the disease. Litvan said one of her patients
was told by a psychiatrist that his inability to move his arm was a mental problem. As it turns out, that was a warning sign of Parkinson's disease.
Currently, UofL is participating in five drug trials related to Parkinson's disease, two of which are for drugs that have been approved and three of which are for drugs that are going through that process, she said.
An additional UofL study funded by the National Institutes of Health is looking at genetic abnormalities in families to try to understand what causes Parkinson's in successive generations. Another NIH-funded study will look at how to slow the progression of the disease. Litvan hopes the studies will lead to better, more consistent diagnosis of Parkinson's and better treatment for those living with the disease.
Without a proper diagnosis, Litvan said, patients can't obtain the medication they need or participate in studies that might help them, It's also important to have the correct diagnosis early to begin taking the right medications, Litvan said. If the disease is caught and treated quickly, patients tend to fare better. "There is an incredible array of medications that have improved (Parkinson's) symptoms right away," Litvan said. "Some have the possibility of protecting the body from further symptoms."

Career history: Litvan, a native of Uruguay, started her career in Spain and came to the United States in 1986 to work for the National Institutes of Health. She came to the University of Louisville in 2004 as part of the Bucks for Brains, or Research. I Challenge Trust Fund, initiative.
Disease causes McLeod to make changes with a creative flair
For nearly 30 years, Carol McLeod has lived with some of the symptoms of Parkinson's disease, but it wasn't until 10 years ago that she had a name for it.
When she was in her 20s, McLeod, now 57, developed a tremor in her foot that she believes probably was part of her Parkinson's.
The tremors got worse, and she developed a stiff walk by the time she was in her late 40s, and she also began to feel that she was losing some of her memory.
She avoided doctors in general because she was afraid she had Alzheimer's disease and didn't want to deal with that possibility.
"By the time I did go. it took him less than two minutes to diagnose me with Parkinson's," McLeod said.
McLeod was shocked by the diagnosis. But she vowed to fight the effects of the disease as much as she could. She takes Requip, which staves off tremors but makes her sleepy, and also Provigil, which keeps her from falling asleep. Vitamin E and Coenzyme Q-lO are supplements she takes.
Crafting a richer life
McLeod also has developed a few new hobbies, such as playing the harmonica and designing Web sites to exercise her brain.
"I was less functional 10 years ago than I am now," McLeod said. "My doctor thinks, and I think, too, that your brain can learn to get things done if you push it."
McLeod works primarily as an artist. And she has woven Parkinson's into her work as a theme from time to time. Her painting called "Five More Years" depicts faces and a clock. It symbolizes the amount of time doctors have told her she has before the disease really affects the quality of her life and also the amount of time some believe will be needed to find a cure for Parkinson's.
McLeod and several other artists recently participated in the Parkinson's Art Hop, a fund-raiser for the Parkinson's Support Center in Louisville.
Looking ahead
McLeod has made some major lifestyle decisions, knowing that the debilitating effects of Parkinson's could find her in a few years. After her husband was killed in a car accident in 2002, she decided to move to the Highlands from her home in Union, a rural Northern Kentucky community. Her home there had almost two acres of land, and that was too much for her to keep up. Also, she knows that she might not be able to drive in a few years, so McLeod wanted a location that would allow her to walk to restaurants, shops and other amenities. The Highlands has suited her well.
McLeod takes her medication and supplements religiously, and she is aware of the effects of the disease. She avoids stressful situations, which can trigger tremors, and she types rather than handwrites notes. As one of the "quirks" of the disease, Parkinson's patients often notice that they don't swing their arms when they walk, so McLeod tries to make sure that she does that in order to provide a more natural gait as she walks.
She refuses to give in to the disease.
"I'm too curious to stay home and too curious to stay in bed," McLeod said. "I expect to go do things. so I get up and go do them. I don't want to miss anything."
Diagnosis leads Speer to re-evaluate his life
Alexander "Sandy" Speer wants the public to understand one thing about his much-publicized retirement as executive director of Actors Theatre of Louisville in April 2006.
He didn't retire because he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. He retired because he was ready - and it just so happened this was after he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
Speer, 63, noticed about four years ago that he was having trouble moving his left arm. He went from doctor to doctor, and he had "every test known to man" to determine what was wrong.
Speer's neurologist finally concluded he had indications of Parkinson's disease, which in his case was an absence of expression in his face and inability to move his arms as freely as he liked.
As time progressed, he's noticed other changes, including a shuffling walk, a soft voice and handwriting that is diminishing to a small scrawl.
Coming to terms with the disease
The diagnosis was a shock. Speer said his first inclination was to keep it secret. His doctor assured him he had 20 years left to live, but to Speer, that wasn't enough.
"At first, I was just not interested in sharing that information with anybody," Speer said. "Then, I decided that was stupid. It was a way of not dealing with it."
The diagnosis made Speer evaluate his life. He had been thinking of retiring anyway to spend more time hunting for antiques, which is his passion, and gardening.
Speer said that if he wanted to, he probably could continue to work. But retirement suits him well. For the current time, he's turned down job offers and requests to volunteer. He enjoys his life in Goshen, visiting with family and friends on occasion. He considers his condition stable for now.
Making minor modifications
Speer still drives, though he avoids night driving. He gardens, though the kneeling and stooping it takes to tend to his garden are hard on his body.
Mirapax, a drug commonly given to Parkinson's patients, has helped slow the progression ofParkinson's, but it's brought on sleepy spells that have him sometimes battling to stay awake.
Speer lives in a federal-style, 1813 brick home in Goshen, Ky., that he's remodeling to help accommodate the affects of Parkinson's. The two-story home needs a first-story bathroom, Speer said, so he won't have to navigate the narrow, steep staircase very often. He also has help to get the household chores done, including laundry and cleaning.
Any activity that requires fine motor skills, such as buttoning buttons, are more difficult for Speer. Threading a needle is almost impossible, Speer said.
"Getting ready in the morning takes twice as long as it used to," Speer said. "These are all minor things, but they add up."
Baumann draws on strong will, delivers at Steel Technologies
Little did he know it, but John Baumann's body was trying to tell him something the day he couldn't accurately putt on the golf course with his right hand.
The golf pro he was working with had him switch hands, and he was back to his bull's eye aim of golf ball in the hole. That was five years ago.
A year after that, Baumann, who is general counsel and secretary at Steel Technologies Inc., noticed his right arm didn't swing when he walked. He attributed that to an old soccer injury, and he went to the surgeon who worked on his arm to ask whether it might be nerve damage. The surgeon said no and told him he didn't know what was wrong.
Then Baumann noticed his handwriting was getting smaller and smaller, and more illegible, and on the day of an important argument before a federal court in Chicago, he discovered he couldn't write. That was when he decided he needed to find out what was going on, and later that same year, in 2003, he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
Diagnosis brings worry, fears
In his early 40s at the time and only 46 now, Baumann had never considered that possibility. His first thoughts were for his family.
Would he be able to work and support his wife, a stay-at-home mom, and their two children?
But Baumann started researching Parkinson's and trying to find ways to combat the disease, which is a progressive, neurological disorder.
Despite his fears, Baumann told his boss and the board of directors of Steel Technologies that he had Parkinson's. "I know, rightfully so, that I was watched a lot closer for that next year," Baumann said, but he performed his duties as usual, with some modest modifications.
Making adjustments at work
Baumann doesn't take notes in meetings anymore because he can't read his own handwriting.
Instead, he listens intensely, and then goes back to his office and types a memo outlining what was said.
He also hires outside counsel for important, higher-level arguments in court. As he sees it, that was never his expertise anyway, so it makes sense to farm it out to someone who argues in front of such courts every day. He exercises religiously, almost every day, in a corporate gym at Steel Technologies on a variety of cardio machines, and he follows a highly regimented schedule
of medicines and nutritional supplements, such as Vitamin E, Coenzyme Q-1O and Carbidopa-Levodopa, a drug commonly used to treat Parkinson's disease.
These measures have allowed him to continue to work. In 2006, Steel Technologies completed the sale of a company in March and the purchase of another in May, and he managed the workload.
"You get a curve ball thrown at you, and you have to make the decision if you can catch it," Baumann said. "If you are able to perform, you gain the confidence of those you work with."
He also was the legal member of the five-person team that prepared Steel Technologies to be acquired by Tokyo-based conglomerate Mitsui & Co. Ltd. The deal was signed in February and was approved by Steel Technologies shareholders in late May. He led and coordinated the legal documentation negotiation and due diligence in the deal.
This was "one of my most proud professional accomplishments. I was in a performance zone uninhibited by Parkinson's," he wrote in an e-mail.
Parkinson's disease is a brain disorder. It occurs when certain nerve cells (neurons) in the brain die or become impaired. Normally, these cells produce a vital chemical, dopamine, which allows smooth, coordinated function of the body's muscles and movement. When about 80 percent of the dopamine-producing cells are damaged, the symptoms of Parkinson's disease appear.
About 4,000 people in the Louisville area have Parkinson's disease, and the Parkinson's Support Center of Kentuckiana is there to help, Its Web site is www.pscky.organdthe phone number is 426-0888.
The center came into existence in 2000 after a Derby Eve ball fund-raiser was held to fund the center. Vicki Stanley is the executive director and its only staff member, The center offers educational seminars, exercise classes, a library of materials and support groups. Since 2004, the Parkinson's Support Center has been housed in the Jewish Hospital Neuroscience Center, 4912 U,S. Highway 42, and it has raised more than $500,000 for research, including matched funds.
It was first described in 1817 by Dr. James Parkinson, a British physician for whom the disease was named.
There is no X-ray or blood test that can confirm Parkinson's disease. A physician arrives at the diagnosis only after a thorough examination.
Blood tests and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain scans may be performed to rule out other conditions that have similar symptoms.
People who think they might have Parkinson's disease should consider seeking the care of a neurologist who specializes in Parkinson's disease.
Signs and symptoms: Tremors; slowness of movement; rigidity; difficulty with balance; small, cramped handwriting; stiff facial expression; shuffling walk; muffled speech; depression
Who gets Parkinson's disease: Parkinson's disease affects both men and women in almost equal numbers. It shows no social, ethnic, economic or geographic boundaries. Although the condition usually develops after the age of 65, 15 percent of those diagnosed are under age 50.
How many cases: In the United States, it is estimated that 60,000 new cases are diagnosed each year, joining the 1.5 million Americans who currently have Parkinson's disease.

Anorexia Nervosa
Anorexia Nervosa is an eating disorder,that people get too obsessed with their weight and how fat or skinny they are and their appearance. I chose this issue because a lot of teenagers are worrying about how fat or skinny they are and to look good they stop eating. This is important because it shows us what can happen if you stop eating, it teaches how people get anorexia and to be careful. This affects teenagers because they can die from it and start to feel very insecure about themselves.
I learned that is very important to feel confident about yourself, and that is really important to eat. My thinking about this issue is that teenagers shouldn't call each other fat because it can lead them to become anorexic, and feel insecure about themselves. My thinking changed a lot, because before I didn't think it was important but by this age every girl is complaining about their appearance and their weight and mostly everyday you hear someone saying "I'm Fat" and people stopped eating a lot because they thought they were fat. So now I think everyone should eat, and feel good on how they look if they are skinny or fat. Now I know what it can lead them if they stop eating.

I'm sure that most of you have seen the pictures of the team finishing the triathlon this weekend and the pained look in their faces whilst completing each of their relevant sections! It was one hell of a challenge but the usual NBF team spirit was in full swing and we all cheered each other through! Our total stands at £1100 at the moment with more sponsorship still coming in 🙂
Here are three of the swimmers just finishing there 1500m swim in the lake!
The cyclists come home after finishing 60k out on the roads..
Then the runners take the final stretch of 10k around the grounds to finish off the relay!
Thank you so much to everyone who has donated, the money raised will be going towards some new ICT equipment for the project workers to use at the farm. We are always overwhelmed with the support we receive when tackling these challenges and this year has been exceptional! If anyone has any ideas of what we should tackle next then please get in touch and let us know! Thank you all again!

Characterization Through Deviation of Plot: the Evolution of the Main Characters in "Girl" and "Lust"
Plot, according to Ann Charters in "The Story and its writer", is "the series of events in a narrative that form the action, in which a character or characters face an internal or external conflict that propels the story to a climax and an ultimate resolution" (1786). "Girl" and "Lust" both demonstrate how a story can deviate from this conventional definition of plot and still produce powerful and dynamic characters.
Worden 2
Kincaid composes her story as a series of directions given from a mother to her daughter and chooses to join these directions with semi-colons instead of periods, even when one idea does not join directly to the next. This deviates from the definition of plot in the sense that the organization of phrases does not provide a direct link between ideas. For example, "this is how to make ends meet; always squeeze bread to make sure it's fresh" (840), are two separate sentences that in a typical story would not be acceptable to link together.
Another interesting thought about the style of writing is that the girl only interrupts her mother twice within the story. The first instance is when the mother scolds her, "don't sing benna in Sunday school" (839) to which the girl interjects, "but I don't sing benna on Sunday's at all and never in Sunday school" (839). The second conflict starts with the mother to which her daughter interrupts in italics:
Always squeeze bread to make sure it's fresh; but what if the baker won't...

"I would recommend Mr. Goline to others and he will be the first person I will call again if I run into trouble!"
I was referred to Mr. Goline a few years back when I received a DWI. He was very helpful, and walked me though my options. I never have been in trouble before and this was very stressful event. Mr. Goline and his staff (Lindsey) was very helpful, and very patient with me and answering all my questions. More recently, I was accused of something I did not do, and the first person I called was Mr. Goline. He and his staff again was able to provide me with a peace of mind and assurance that I will be taken care of. Even though the case kept getting postponed by the court, it always felt like they were on top of it. Mr. Goline and his staff was very comforting and a delight to speak to during my time of crisis. I would recommend Mr. Goline to others and he will be the first person I will call again if I run into trouble (I hope I don't). — James
"Greg is seriously one of the greatest attorneys in Denton!"
Greg is seriously one of the greatest attorneys in Denton. When i got into trouble, I was so embarrassed and afraid. As soon as I met with Greg for a free consultation, I knew I was in good hands. He kept me informed every step of the way and answered every single one of my questions no matter how outrageous. His staff is also wonderful! I highly recommend him. — Former client
"I never even had to show up to a single court day!"
Greg took care of everything for my court case for getting arrested, for what I thought would just be a traffic violation and a big ticket turned into a Class B misdemeanor, my original intentions were to get a few interviews with a couple of other attorneys. I went to Greg first and talked with him. After my interview with him I immediately decided that I wanted him to represent me and be my attorney. He is a very educated and polite gentleman. He got it down to as long as I behave I will get everything expunged off of my record. Which is a big difference from the 180 days of jail time and/or fees up to $2500. I even got pulled over for something ridiculous and I told him about it and he took care of it within 2 days. I never even had to show up to a single court day. — N.N.
"Thank you guys so much for the help!"
Thank you guys so much for the help! I am not usually one to get into trouble, and was sort of freaking out when I first contacted you guys. Y'all made it so easy, and were very approachable. Result: Client was admitted into the Pre-Trial Diversion program and after successful completion of the program, his case will be dismissed. — B.B.
"There are no words. Your firm has been such a blessing in such a dark time."
I just want to say how much I appreciate all you guys have done and are still doing for me and the girls. There are no words. Your firm has been such a blessing in such a dark time. Result: Case was dismissed and Client's record was sealed. — A.L.
"Trustworthy, responsive, and knowledgeable!"
Trustworthy, responsive, and knowledgeable! Greg was an amazing attorney and very knowledgeable concerning our case. When it came down to deciding how to plea our case he had some great advice for us, which we used. Would highly use him in the future and recommend. — M.M.
"I definitely knew I wasn't just another number or case to him. Whenever I was speaking to him, I knew he was only focused on me and my situation."
I'm not usually one to get into legal trouble, so when I reached out to Greg and his staff for representation, I was definitely freaking out. They were very calming and assured me they would provide the best help possible. Greg is extremely approachable. They always took the time to answer every question, no matter how minor or crazy, I had. I definitely knew I wasn't just another number or case to him. Whenever I was speaking to him, I knew he was only focused on me and my situation. Greg got me a fantastic deal in my case, and I could not be more happy with his work. I highly recommend using him and his team if the need ever arises for a lawyer. — B.B.
"I would recommend Mr. Goline to anybody with a legal matter."
I was referred to Mr. Goline by a family member in September 2013, after I was charged with Driving While Intoxicated 1st and Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon. Mr. Goline was very knowledgeable regarding what options I had based off my situation. He was also very informative regarding possible punishments, necessary paperwork, and court appearances that I needed to attend. Mr. Goline definitely made the whole process easier for me to deal with. After discussion with Mr. Goline, he and I both agreed that the best option was to take a plea deal. The Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon charge was dropped with a Guilty Plea for the DWI 1st. I got 18 months probation, but it was the right call. My blood was over .20 at the time of arrest, so we both knew if it went to trial I was going to be found guilty of UCW because of the evidence. I would recommend Mr. Goline to anybody with a legal matter. Not too long after my case, I recommended him to a family member to handle a divorce. I'm glad I got him to represent my family and me. — Corey

We must all have our favourite examples of music in films - and I'm not thinking of Tarantino here. Nor Woodstock.
Two spring to mind in recent films:
(1) the opening sequence of "Ghost World" that features that fabulous Bollywood rock 'n' roll performance on a film within a film;
(2) the disco scene leading up to the killing in "City of God", with the dancefloor grooving to "Kung Fu Fighting".
More suggest themselves as I type, but I'll restrict myself to just these two for now.
Anyone have any more?

Our History
Homebridge was founded in 1985 by a group of non-profit community-based organizations who wanted to improve the delivery of IHSS services in San Francisco. These organizations included Independent Living Resource Center, Self-Help for the Elderly, Mission Neighborhood Centers, Kimochi, Inc., Bayview-Hunters Point Multipurpose Senior Services Center, and Catholic Charities.
Over time, we evolved to become one agency while retaining deep relationships with our partners in service. In March 2015, we changed our name from In-Home Supportive Services Consortium to Homebridge.
Throughout our history, Homebridge has developed and refined an approach to home care that combines client services, extensive training and supervision of caregivers, and coordination with other public and private organizations to provide the services needed for clients to continue living independently at home. Our integrated approach has resulted in steady and significant organizational growth, fueled by growing public and private support.
Homebridge Timeline
The IHSS Consortium was formed by a group of non-profit social service agencies that for many years had been serving diverse individuals and groups in San Francisco, especially seniors and disabled clients.
On July 1, 1991, the Consortium was awarded a Supported Independent Provider (SIP) contract from the San Francisco Department of Social Services (SFDSS). Its purpose was to provide supplemental supervision to IHSS Independent Providers (IPs), higher wages for IPs, and care coordination services for IHSS clients assigned to the seven Consortium member agencies. Approximately 250 clients totaling 16,900 hours per month were referred to the Consortium and were served by 175 trained IPs. Training was provided in four languages. This model preceded the establishment of Public Authorities and included a registry of workers, support for Providers with difficult clients, and care coordination for the most at-risk clients.
The Consortium was awarded a Geriatric Aide Training Demonstration contract by the U.S. Department of Labor. The Consortium's 21-hour Home Care Basic Training program graduated 180 individuals and placed 150 graduates in IHSS jobs as IPs, as well as referring individuals to advanced jobs and/or specialized training programs. From July 1991 to June 1994, the Consortium recruited and trained over 600 individuals.
The Consortium was awarded a three-year contract by the SFDSS to deliver intensive supervision and 150,000 annual hours of in-home supportive services to elderly and disabled clients. Prior to our award, the entire 750,000 hours of contracted IHSS services was provided solely by a for-profit agency. The contract was extended in June 1997 for an additional year through June 30, 1998. As part of its intensive supervision model under this contract, the Consortium continued to provide linguistically- and culturally-appropriate supervision services, matching Home Care Providers to clients based on linguistic, cultural, and other client needs, as well as accessing other services for clients. The intensive supervision was provided by out-stationed field supervisors at seven subcontracting agencies. Also in 1994, the Consortium was awarded an ongoing contract by the Commission on the Aging to assist in the development of the agency's IHSS services.
The Consortium was awarded a new three-year contract with the San Francisco Department of Human Services (DHS) for 375,000 hours per year. The Consortium's increase in hours meant a corresponding reduction in hours for the other contractor — Addus Health Care. Workers and clients were smoothly transferred from Addus Health Care to the Consortium on August 1, 1998.
In the spring of 1999, the Consortium contracted with the Adult Protective Services (APS) unit of the City's DHS Adult Services Program to provide emergency IHSS services for APS clients.
In April 2000, the Consortium was invited by the Western Addition/Marina Senior Central to provide 1,545 hours of emergency, short-term IHSS services for clients in their service area. This contract was renewed for a second year and continued through June 2002.
In July 2001, the Consortium was awarded a new three-year contract with the DHS to provide a total of 1,360,000 hours of home care services with intensive supervision: Year 1 — 410,000 hours, Year 2 — 450,000 hours, and Year 3 — 500,000 hours.
The Consortium became the sole contractor with DHS, providing all in-home supportive services for the City & County of San Francisco. Workers and clients were smoothly transferred from Addus Health Care to the Consortium on February 1, 2002.
The Consortium was awarded a new three-year contract with the City & County of San Francisco to provide 730,00 hours of in-home supportive contract services annually.
The Consortium was awarded a three-year contract with the City and County of San Francisco to provide 794,000 hours of in-home supportive contract services annually.
The Consortium launched the Training Academy for Personal Caregivers and Assistants (TAPCA), funded through the San Francisco Department of Aging and Adult Services.
TAPCA partners with JVS as a vocational training provider for the San Francisco Healthcare Academy and with the California Community College Chancellor's Office for an HRSA grant to develop a standardized curriculum and certification process for California home care workers. TAPCA receives a Community Development Block Grant to recruit, train, and provide job placement assistance for home care providers
The Consortium was awarded a new four-year contracts with the City and County of San Francisco to provide 630,000 hours of in-home supportive services annually and Home Care Provider skill development training and support. TAPCA expands workforce training through multiple contracts.
The Consortium launched a new service for consumers and caregivers: TAPcare (Trained and Professional Care). TAPcare is an online marketplace for consumers looking for at-home care to find trained, experienced caregivers who are graduates of our TAPCA training program. The service is intended for consumers and their families who are able to hire and supervise their own caregivers independently. For more information about TAPcare, click here.
The Consortium launched service in San Mateo County under a contract with the Health Plan of San Mateo for 79,000 hours of service per year to 75 clients.
The Consortium changed its name and branding to Homebridge.

Upper Columbia Basin Network (UCBN)
Parks in this Network
Park Species Lists
NPS field crew sampling in the Big Hole River
One of the primary functions of the Upper Columbia Basin Network (UCBN) data management staff is to work with park resources staff to develop and maintain verified, substantiated, and certified vascular plant and vertebrate species lists for each network park. The information presented in these web-based species lists are subsets of data managed in NPSpecies, which is the master biodiversity database for the National Park Service, and is the tool used by UCBN for meeting this goal.
The species lists presented here have all gone through a certification process. This involves the evaluation and review of the species information by local experts who are well-versed in the biology, taxonomy and nomenclature of species in UCBN parks.
Species Lists for Upper Columbia Basin Network Parks
Pick a UCBN Park:
Select a Species Category (optional):
A Checklist contains only those species that are designated as "present" or "probably present" in the park.
The Full List with Details includes all the Checklist species plus species that are unconfirmed, historically detected, or incorrectly reported in the park. The Full List also contains species that are "in review" because their status in the park hasn't been fully determined. Additional details about the status of each species is included in the Full List.
The Checklist will almost always contain fewer species than the Full List.
Visit NPSpecies for more comprehensive information and advanced search capability. Have a suggestion or comment on this list? Let us know.

The Long tailed tits arrive in our garden as a flock. Their little round bodies and long tails make them look like little lollipops, bouncing around like a group of acrobats. They leave as a group in the same way as the arrived, visiting each garden in the street. Work has to stop when they are here and I stand and watch them with utter joy until they're gone.
This linocut has a wintry Japanese feel, as the flowers on the Blackthorn arrive on bare branches.
It is a two layer linocut print, the first layer adding the colour, which will vary on each print, making them unique, the second layer is black. The image measures 10cm x 26 cm and is hand printed onto paper approx 16cm x 32cm. The paper is handmade lokta. Each print is signed.

Garbage, junk, trash. This phone is terrible. First, it was not advertised as being a bottom of the line cell phone, so I guess that is my fault for not doing my homework. I have had this phone less than a week and already the screen is bleeding numbers through. There are no features, simple features like a calender! Nothing, just a phone. Pros:cheap$ Cons:cheap

The best care starts with the best information
Tocilizumab (Actemra ®) is a biologic medication currently approved to treat adults with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis (RA), adults with giant cell arteritis (GCA), and people ages two and above with Polyarticular Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (PJIA) or Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (SJIA). Biologic medications are proteins designed by humans that affect the immune system. Tocilizumab blocks the inflammatory protein IL-6. This improves joint pain and swelling from arthritis and other symptoms caused by inflammation.
For adults with RA or GCA, tocilizumab can be given as either a monthly intravenous infusion or as a subcutaneous injection every one – two weeks. For people with PJIA or SJIA, tocilizumab is given as a monthly intravenous infusion. When used as a subcutaneous injection, the medicine can be injected into the thigh or abdomen. The site of injection should be rotated so the same site is not used multiple times. Some patients will start to see improvement within a few weeks, but it may take several months to take full effect. Tocilizumab may be taken alone or with methotrexate or other non-biologic drugs. Tocilizumab should not be given in combination with another biologic drug. Blood tests will be used to monitor for increases in cholesterol or liver enzymes and for reductions in blood cell counts while taking tocilizumab.
Tocilizumab can lower the ability of your immune system to fight infections. If you develop symptoms of an infection while using this medication, you should stop it and contact your doctor. All patients should be tested for tuberculosis before starting on tocilizumab, although these types of infections have not been frequently seen. Allergic reactions to intravenous tocilizumab infusions can occur, which can include symptoms such as fever and chills, but these are rare. Tocilizumab has been associated with increased cholesterol levels in some patients, and should be periodically monitored. If your cholesterol level becomes too high, it is possible you may need to start taking a medication to lower it. A rare complication seen with tocilizumab use in clinical trials was bowel perforation, or a hole in the bowel wall. If you have a history or diverticulitis or develop abdominal pain or bloody bowel movements while taking tocilizumab, you should notify your doctor immediately.
You should notify your doctor if you develop symptoms of an infection, such as a fever or cough, or if you think you are having any side effects, especially abdominal pain, bloody bowel movements, or allergic reactions. Notify your doctor if you become pregnant, are planning pregnancy, or if you are breastfeeding. Be sure to talk with your doctor if you are planning to have surgery or if you plan to get any live vaccinations; these include the shingles vaccine, the nasal spray flu vaccine, and others such as the measles, mumps, rubella, and yellow fever vaccines.

Hello & Welcome! I'm Cara, thanks for visiting my blog, SavvyChicMama!
Being a new mom can be both exciting and scary at first to some. Having become a new mom myself I was scared that once the baby came my world would change completely and I wouldn't be able to be the stylish and creative person I once was. Working in high-end fashion and retail for many years was my passion and where my creative spark began.
A favorite icon of mine whose style was always classy and timeless in my eyes is legendary Audrey Hepburn. She had the girl nextdoor personality with a great sense of fashion. I tend to draw most of my style from her. Thanks Audrey. ❤
I wanted to share my journey with others but by keeping a budget in mind.
So here begins my journey, enjoy the ride ….
