text: Well, we've already raised over half of John's estimate, so have less than $6k to go. If we can raise the balance this quarter, fine. If not, we can finance it and pay it back monthly over a year's time out of our regular budget (assuming nothing else goes wrong). Thanks again!!

Are you sitting comfortably?
First published on the Golf Monthly website on Thursday 3rd April 2008
Some prefer to have a handicap they can easily play to, others like fighting tooth and nail to make buffer. Guess which camp Fergus falls into.
I'm playing in my first Medal of 2008 this Saturday and I'm experiencing pre-season sensations I never have before. For the last few years my attitude to the inaugural comp of the year has been: "Bring it on. I'm ready and it's time to do some hard-core handicap slashing." As I've played pretty poorly for the last couple of months, my mindset going into Saturday is more like: "I'm going to have to really grit something out if I'm to make buffer."
The thing is, having come down from three to one last year, I'm now in a position where there's very little room to manoeuvre around the buffer zone area. It's conceivable that I could shoot one over par and still go up by point one. But I'm looking forward to a new objective for 2008 – consolidation. I'd like to still be playing off one at the end of the summer.
In the clubhouse the other day conversation surrounded aims for the season in terms of handicap. My dad, whose handicap is currently 8.5, said something that epitomised the correct attitude for amateur golfers. "I think I'd be comfortable on eight." He commented. "But, I'd rather be uncomfortable on seven." I've met far too many amateurs who like to be comfortable on their handicaps. They're happy to cruise along on 15 not really trying when a round isn't going their way and then, on the days they get off to a good start, they put in a bit of extra effort and bag 42 stableford points to win the Spring Meeting.
I admit, I'm not entirely comfortable off one. But I'd far rather struggle to play to one than easily play to three or four. I'm not a pot hunter, I take greater personal satisfaction from lowering my handicap by point one than from winning silverware – unless it's a scratch competition of course.
I'm off to the Premier League of Darts in Aberdeen this evening. If it's anything like last year, it'll be quite a spectacle: The paladins of the king of pub sports dueling it out in front of 3,000 boozy Aberdonians. Fantastic.
Darts and golf have a few things in common:
– Both are individual sports. There's nobody to help you when you're about to attempt that twitchy three footer or that crucial throw at double one. It's just you and your sweaty palms.
– Both require incredible precision and the margins for error are minute.
– Both sports are referred to by the badly informed as games.
– Fitness is not a prerequisite for excellence.
– Darts and golf have a dress code. Golf has beige slacks and a cotton polo shirt (tucked in); darts has black school trousers and a strange 100% polyester shirt with a huge collar and massive V-Neck to expose maximum chest hair (un-tucked).
– Experience counts for a great deal and advancing age does not prevent competitors achieving success. Jack Nicklaus won The Masters aged 46 and Phil "The Power" Taylor is 48.
– Alcohol helps some to play both sports better but makes others fall to pieces.
– Pre-shot routine. In golf: you line up, practice swing, take a last look at the target and swing. In darts: you down your pint, move away from the bar area, try not to fall over on your way to the ochie and throw. (I should point out this is certainly not how the Premier League darters prepare where it's strictly water only on the stage.)

January 26-28 2016,
Greek architect and teacher Elia Zenghelis visited the College of Design for a masterclass in architecture. As the second master class taught by Zenghelis, first being in 2015, the workshop asked students to articulate their position and response to a set of exemplary paradigms selected from the history of architecture since the so-called 'revolution' of the 'Modern Movement'. The students then illustrated their position into a form of an emblematic image that can act as a personal manifesto, that can always be used as a reference, in the course of their continuing engagement with Architecture. … more

Or at least that is what Simon Cowell says. He would force surgery on any woman over forty if he had it his way.
Proud of his own groomed looks Simon believes that women of a certain age should take pride in their appearances as much as he does.
"I'd make it compulsory for every woman over 40 [to have plastic surgery]," he once said.
Regardless of his arrogant demeanor, judgmental tone and opinionated outlook on everything and everyone, he was able to build a young following that worships the ground he walks on.
With Fabulously40 members pictures all around me I know we don't need plastic surgery and would love to tell Simon to take his opinion and rearrange his own face.
As for his girlfriend Terri Seymour 36, of six years, I hope she starts interviewing plastic surgeons soon, she is only 4 years away from turning the big four "0".
I think Simon Cowell needs a lobotomy, myself. Can I force that on him? ;)
Don't you need a brain to have a labotomy?
While I was in laser school a 67-year old woman came in for an IPL treatment. She had so many plastic surgery procedures that it was sad. Fighting aging. I decided right then and there I was never going to be that way!
When I was watching the Academy Awards this year, I thought the actress who looked the loveliest was Helen Mirren. So elegant and stunning, and real. There are wrinkles, there are a few more pounds, to be sure. But mostly, there's a confidence and radiance about her. She is aging utterly gracefully without plastic surgery, and I salute her for that.
You guys are AWESOME, your comments made me laugh.
I actually saw Simon in real life while he was picking up his take out order at one of the trendy restaurants in Beverly Hills, and I have to tell you his face has no movement, and was painful to look at.
I just wish I saw him today, he would of gotten an ear full from me.
I can't find beauty in a person that is so hateful. Beauty is with in. For all you ladies, olay all the way .I like olay regeneristand and olay complete. Never go to bed with makeup on. Drink lots of water.
olay complete has a sunscreen in it . I love it, because it doesn't smell bad. I use it on my arms and chest area oh ya and neck. I also try to eat lots of different colored fruits, Really great for the skin.
No, I don't think so. I have one of those bands, that you stand on and pull with your arms, works well
Sillies! I LOVE Simon Cowell. The man makes a living out of causing reactions. I am an American Idol addict and I find his feedback to be the most real and the most helpful.
As for him saying women over 40 needs plastic surgery, WHATEUUUUUUUVER!
I'm not going to get my panties all in a wad over one man's
You all just gave him more attention, exactly why he says this stuff.
He makes me laugh...he's just a silly vibration in the air.
It's sad that comments are made about what people choose to look like. Yes, some of our looks are inherited, but what we do from there is our own choice. I have never seen any of the plastic surgery "nightmares" people so frequently talk about. I've seen some beautiful work though. I don't like the idea of botox, but that's my personal thought about it. I know others who swear by it. At 51, I'd like to think I'm tolerant either way. If I consider something of a cosmetic nature it will have to be what I consider safe and likely to look good. I know lots of women who swore they'd never have plastic surgery at 35, and then, 50 came along, and they changed their mind. They look great and what's more important they're happy about their looks. That's the main thing.
Oh, and Helen Mirren may have a few wrinkles but she doesn't have any extra poundage. At least not in the photos of her in that now famous red bikini that was posted all over the internet a few weeks ago. Apparently a reporter went into the streets of London showing that picture with a sticker over the face so people couldn't see who it was. When asked how old they thought the lady was, the youngest age started at 25! Helen's obviously taken keeping fit seriously!
As for Simon Cowell, I've never been a fan of his. And I wouldn't let his opinion of what to do influence me one way or the other!
Simon needs a life
It's like Ann Coulter _ another person who goes around saying the outrageous just to get attention.
"Don't you need a brain to have a labotomy?" and man boobs to boot! ROFL
I don't care what he thinks about women.
Just signed up on this site. Absolutely LOVED all the comments!!!
Simon does make comments for the reaction it's true! But he can be very unforgiving in his feedback and that bothers me a lot. I watch American Idol and have for the past couple of years and I have noticed he can be sorta kind if he tries real hard. There have been a couple of times he seemed to really try....gotta wonder, is it from within or a PR person using a cattle prod?
Yana - as much as I would love to send you a card, you don't need it. You are amazingly beautiful without plastic surgery.
Its interesting how much attention his comments receive. As a Board Certified Surgeon specializing in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive surgeon.. I have been asked to comment on his comments! To offer my 2 cents. I am obviously a supporter of plastic surgery. But clearly it is not for everyone. I also don't believe there is anything intrinsically ugly about aging or an aged appearance. However, I do understand why many people want to preserve there youthful appearance. Part of it is cultural which influences our perception of beauty etc. I cant quote the study... but an interesting observation was made in a survey study on women in there 40-50s. They noted that in retrospect, the majority felt the best about there appearance between the ages of 28 -32. I thought that was interesting.
Plastic surgery serves a purpose. Everyday, I have the pleasure of fixing problems and as a result making people happier about themselves. However, in order for it to serve a purpose... it takes a person with a perceived problem, the right motivation, and the right expectations. Moreover, it is important to recognize that one persons problem may not register as a problem to another person.. but in the end of the day it is what the individual perceives and whether or not that perception is affecting them emotionally.
For example one person can walk around with a large nose (for example) and not think twice about it... but another person with the same large nose feels insecure and avoids certain social interactions. Interestingly, in the eyes of others both people have the same large nose and this perception my have a negative impact on an interpersonal and social level, yet one person recognizes it as a problem and seeks surgery to fix it. The other does not. What I am trying to get at is that it is ultimately, a very personal decision and when it is handled appropriately and safely it can have profound positive results in an individual's quality of life. I get to see this side of it regularly. On the other hand, if handle haphazardly or taken lightly, it can have a profoundly negative impact. Unfortunately, I also get to see this side of it, when patients come in for revisions.
On my first Face Place blog.. I discuss my observations about what motivates individuals seeking plastic surgery. This is the first of many Blog topics dedicated to offering education and insight into the field of Cosmetic Facial Plastic Surgery. My goal is to empower those who may be considering it... so that they can make good decisions that are predicated on safety and efficacy.
I do respect and admire anyone who has the courage to do something like plastic surgery. At this point it's not a option for me mostly due to cost but I have to admit I have thought about myself. Sometimes its like what was said before I look in the mirror and think is that really me? All those wrinkles? And then I think....hey wait a minute.... I am not wise enough for all these marks of time....I want off this ride? lol But really I have been lucky and my crows feet do not yell to loudly yet:)
are you in LA? I am having some trouble with breathing and think i may have a vlave that collapsed in my nose.
elan Rinehart
Will Simon pay for all women over 40 to have the plastic surgery if he is going to require it? What about poor women over 40 who could not have plasic surgery even if they wanted it?
Dear Elan, I would be happy to help you answer any question you may have, however, I would need more information. I am actually based in San Diego. You can visit my website drkaram.com or contact me through this site if you have any specific questions. Thanks.
Well, would he finance it as well???
I guess men over 40 too, don´t you?

People with an ischemic stroke or a transient ischemic attack (TIA) have an increased risk of recurrent strokes. The risk of another event is high: 10-20% within the first 90 days, and these secondary strokes are much more likely to result in death or severe disability than the initial stroke.
Secondary Stroke Prevention is of vital importance for patients who are recovering from a stroke or TIA; early care including risk reduction, medication management, and close follow-up can significantly improve your long term outcomes and prevent future illness.
At the WBPCN, the Secondary Stroke Prevention Clinic provides care in alignment with Alberta's Provincial Stroke Strategy. If you've had a stroke, you will probably be referred to our clinic by the hospital, or by your local family physician. If you haven't yet been referred, speak with your Family Physician and ask about the role of the WBPCN's Secondary Stroke Prevention Clinic in your followup care.

For immediate release - June 7, 2007
TAVARES — The Lake County Board of County Commissioners, and its partners through the Lake-Sumter Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), will cut the ribbon to the County's newest public-transportation endeavor, the LakeXpress bus line, on Monday, June 11, at 9 a.m. in front of the Lake County Administration Building, located at 315 W. Main St., Tavares.Officials scheduled to speak before cutting the ceremonial grand-opening ribbon include County Commissioner Jennifer Hill, Minneola Mayor and Chairman of the Lake-Sumter MPO David Yeager and Noranne Downs, Secretary of the Fifth District for the Florida Department of Transportation. In addition, the ceremony will include presentations to two citizens that helped name the new bus service. LakeXpress runs every hour from The Villages to Eustis with a circulator route in downtown Leesburg. The fixed-route service is designed to make daily commutes along U.S. Highway 441 hassle free. In years to come, the service will be expanded to other urban areas of the County, such as a downtown Mount Dora circulator route, scheduled to begin before the end of 2007. LakeXpress operates Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 7:45 p.m. Buses do not run on Saturdays, Sundays and the following federal holidays: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.

After this introductory period, all trips will be $1 and half-fares will be available for: seniors 60 years or older (must present a valid Medicare card upon boarding); students with a valid school ID; and individuals with disabilities (buses are equipped with lifts). Free fares are available for children under five years of age, which are accompanied by a fare-paying chaperone.

Hardwood flooring elevates the décor wherever it is installed. The move toward open-plan living areas calls for unified flooring that can meet the demands of a kitchen as well as a living area. Hardwood flooring is up to the challenge of heavy foot traffic, dropped plates and kids and pets.
After over a decade in business, Anselone Flooring is proud to offer select hardwood flooring from Mohawk. For a beautiful wood floor, you can choose from dozens of collection, including the popular:
Hardwood flooring can be either solid or engineered planks. A solid plank is made from one piece of wood. An engineered plank has a top layer of hardwood veneer, supported by thin wooden layers, much like plywood.
Solid planks are available in domestic hardwoods, like cherry, oak, maple and walnut or exotics like mahogany, ipé, ebony or bamboo. Widths vary from narrow, around two inches, up to five inches and beyond. Thickness starts at ¾ inch. Solids can be installed unfinished and finished after installation, or pre-finished with warrantied coatings. Surfaces may be smooth, textured – like handscraped or distressed, high gloss or low gloss. Caution must be used in placing solid wood flooring in wet areas – be careful around sinks and dishwashers.
Engineered hardwood looks the same as solid hardwood with the same species of wood and surface selection; it comes. Engineered is only available pre-finished; however, its construction makes engineered hardwood more stable in the presence of moisture.
Both engineered and solid hardwood floors can be refinished. A solid hardwood floor can be refinished often enough to have the floor last a lifetime. The thinner veneer on engineered hardwood, permits refinishing once or twice, depending on the manufacturers' guidelines.
Grit is the enemy of wood flooring. If ignored it wears away the finish and exposes the raw wood that can be damaged by traffic and water. It makes sense that daily sweeping and a light mopping as needed will keep your floor clean and looking like new.

Blake, who had been an aspirational member of the academy, sadly died from cancer in September 2011 aged just 14.
Teams from across the academy took part, from under 9s to under 16s as well as teams made up of coaches, ex-professionals and parents of the academy players.
His friend and fellow academy member Tyler Roberts was at the Hawthorns to give out medals to the winning teams.
Tyler, 17, who has been part of the travelling side of the premiership club and has just been called up to train with the national Welsh senior side ahead of the Euro qualifiers, said: "Today is a day to remember and honour Blake.
"I am so proud to be a part of this day and to help raise money for such fantastic cause."
Fantastic event
Matt Layton, academy operations manager, said: "The Blake Melbourne tournament is a fantastic event that brings together the academy and the local community each year.
"As the tournament is held at the Hawthorns, it is very competitive from our youngest players through to our parent teams!
"The event raises vital funds for CLIC Sargent which is a charity that is close to all our hearts at the club.
"All participants have been incredibly generous in their donations."
So grateful
CLIC Sargent Fundraising Manager Anna Finnegan said: "There has been a great atmosphere here today and a real feeling of togetherness and support.
"We are so grateful to everyone taking part.
"Last year CLIC Sargent supported over 500 children and young people with cancer in the West Midlands.
"It is thanks to the generosity of fundraisers in the local community that we can work towards changing what it means to be diagnosed with cancer when you are young."

Kindle, Should I Buy One?
WIth the emergence of the tablet pc, from Apple's I-Pad, Blackberry's Playbook and Samsung's Galaxy Tab and just an overall explosion of smartphones, what in the world would you need a Kindle for. One perspective could argue that cost can be persuasive. Since the cost of an average tablet PC ranges anywhere from $300-700, the Kindle coming in at $139 seems like a steal...if your objective is to merely read content.
But with the interconnectivity provided by a well equiped handlheld and an internet connection, at what point do you stop buying various components for highly specific tasks.
Tablet PC's have applications that allow you to "read" your favorite authors, but expand the offering to perform all of the tasks you'd normally use a laptop for.
Is it worth the extra money to pay-up to consolidate media devices into one unit? Imagine travelling across country. You're about to walk through airport security and place your lap-top, your i-phone, your kindle and your i-pad into the tray...
Wouldn't the smart choice be to just use a smartphone for everything you need? While the limitations on screen size and keyboard use somewhat limit the overall ease of use, convenience is a factor to not be overlooked.
So why in the world would you buy a kindle? It seems that the perfect solution would be a smartphone with a screen somewhat larger than the i-phone with the functionality of a tablet PC.
While economies of scale seem to be working towards a universal media device, the Kindle does seem to be the best pure-play e-reader. I just don't see the advantage of owning one. Maybe I'm missing something, but if I'm going to travel and carry 3+ electronic gadgets with me while I travel, I'd tend to prefer just buying a physical book that i can take and use anywhere, anytime and never worry about battery life.

Trends in Upstream and Downstream Process Development for Antibody Manufacturing

(This article belongs to the Special Issue Biopharmaceutical Process Development)
AbstractA steady increase of product titers and the corresponding change in impurity composition represent a challenge for development and optimization of antibody production processes. Additionally, increasing demands on product quality result in higher complexity of processes and analytics, thereby increasing the costs for product work-up. Concentration and composition of impurities are critical for efficient process development. These impurities can show significant variations, which primarily depend on culture conditions. They have a major impact on the work-up strategy and costs. The resulting "bottleneck" in downstream processing requires new optimization, technology and development approaches. These include the optimization and adaptation of existing unit operations respective to the new separation task, the assessment of alternative separation technologies and the search for new methods in process development. This review presents an overview of existing methods for process optimization and integration and indicates new approaches for future developments. View Full-Text

Barbecue Pizza Recipe
With Christmas fast becoming a distant memory and the taste of turkey sandwiches beginning to fade, it's the perfect time of year for getting creative with the barbecue – and pizzas are a brilliant way to make dinners fun, hearty and wholesome.
The heat of a hot BBQ cooks a pizza beautifully, leaving you with a crispy and flavoursome meal. You can add your favourite toppings and invent your own barbecue pizzas. Throwing a party is effortless and it's easy to get everyone involved too, as all you need are the pizza bases and a load of tasty topping ingredients, as well as a pizza lifter or pizza stone for cooking on the barbecue.
You can choose whether to make your own pizza base or simply use bought bases. Of course, part of the fun of barbecuing pizzas is making it from scratch so if you want to make your own dough, here's a good recipe you can use:
- 1 teaspoon baking yeast
- 115ml warm water
- 1 sprinkle caster sugar
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chopped basil
- 1 clove garlic
- ½ dessertspoon salt
- 200g plain flour
In a large bowl, add the yeast and warm water and let the yeast dissolve. Add the sprinkle of caster sugar and then let the mix rest for about ten minutes, until frothy. Next, add the olive oil, salt and flour and stir together until the consistency is slightly sticky and the mixture pulls away from the sides of the bowl. On a floured surface, place the mixture and knead for about 5-10 minutes, until it's smooth. Then leave it for one hour, to let it double in size.
Knead the dough once more and add in the basil and garlic. Then leave for a further hour, when it should double in size again. When ready, knead for a few minutes and then form your pizza base with a circa 1cm thickness – you can decide whether to split the dough into smaller pizzas or keep it as one larger pizza, depending on your preference. The good thing about having smaller pizzas is people can have their own toppings.
Once you have the base ready – or have opened packaged pizza bases – you should get the barbecue going as you want it to be nicely heated up before you start cooking. You should let it warm up for around 20 minutes first.
During this time, sort the toppings you want, including slicing any meats or vegetables and placing them in easy-to-access bowls. When the cooking begins, you need to move quickly to avoid your pizza burning.
If you're using a barbecue grill or plate, add a touch of oil to it before placing the pizza base to the barbecue. With a pizza stone, you should sprinkle this with flour to prevent the dough from sticking to it. The base of the dough will begin to brown quickly because of the heat so have a pair of spatulas to-hand, ready to turn the pizza over – and have the ingredients you want nearby too as you'll need to add these quickly once you've turned it over.
Once the toppings are on the pizza, close the lid and let it cook for 10 minutes, until the crust crisps and the cheese melts. Remove from the barbecue, slice and enjoy!
If you want to take things to the next level try using a pizza oven.

Cookbook For a Better Theatrical Landscape - Recipes for Success
A recipe is a consise description of ingredients and action. A recipe also address very specific issues rather than wide ranging rhetorical concerns. A recipe has a specific goal. Even if the recipe's outcome can be added to the buffet of various dishes, each one is individual and incremental.
So, while Don works on his Freedom Charter...I want to compile recipes.
What sort of recipes do you want to see? If you could get a one page print out of how to solve a problem regarding theatre in the American Landscape? What would it be?
Come on people! Tell me!
3 comments:
I don't have a recipe, Bob, but this could be a cool thang. However, if I did have a recipe, I don't know if I would recommend it to anyone else. Every artist and every group is so different that I don't know if my recipe would be someone else's recipe. Some flour only rises for me. Some sauce only thickens for others.
I did want to say that I thought your call for 250 Words on another blog for real solutions was terrific. I didn't see any comment that really addressed your point though. It got more Obama rhetoric responses rather than Hillary solution responses, but maybe it's all just politics anyway. Maybe the only answers are the small steps we take every day - it's called Doing the Work.
I've enjoyed keeping track of what you're up to out there, and wish you the best with Clay Cont'. There's always things that we can do better, but just getting the job done and showing the work is my favorite recipe. If I can do more, I will, but that's hard enough.
I feel like I'm following your recipe, and it smells like you're really cooking up something special. Bon Appetite!

Pour contents into blender and serve by frappeing without cover, chilled.
That's a recipe for how I feel right now, but that said I think this could be a wonderful thing.
One thing I've been thinking about is how stylistically different the Mammals and New Leaf are... So when we're talking about the same structural changes to the theater landscape and when we got to brass tacks in our earlier conversation on saving money through cheaper tech, it was a non-starter.
That aside, I really appreciate your simple calls for simple action, and I think recipe cards would totally be a better distribution format for ideas than blog entries. And maybe the recipes don't have to work... maybe they just need to spark.
I also think people need to give this change theater forever action maybe longer than a month to get rolling. We all have shows to promote, after all.
In all seriousness, I don't think I can offer a foolproof recipe, but I can summarize the recipe that our theater has that also seems to be working in fits and starts:
Artistic Director with massive theater education connections.
Managing Director who has performed in half our shows and also is a quicken and grant writing whiz
Lighting Designer who has designed 100 shows in Chicago, and knows where all the cheap equipment is hidden and when it's up for sale.
Sound Designer who has designed 80 shows in Chicago, has built a store of all the equipment we need, and has web application building experience.
A company that has worked for six years through trials, tribulations and experimentations to build a really sharp mission that doesn't straitjacket the company.
A carefully discerning company membership recruiting process that really weighs what a new member will do to the artistic equation.
An orbiting community of performers who support and promote the theater, built by making the working environment incredibly valuable (featuring and promoting their talents - and following their careers closely long after their time with us is over) and desirable (a process that is reenergizing) to a working actor / designer.
A cheap as dirt space out of which we've figured out how to squeeze every last ounce. of production value.
A play selection process based on something that matters to us.
1) Recognize Talent Early and Promote It
2) Create meaningful, inter-dependent networks with other artists
3) Innovate to save a shit-ton of money and squeeze value out of the almost nothing budget you operate off of.

Has anyone tried Horizant for Postherpetic Neuralgia, if so, has it helped any with the pain ?
- Asked

- Updated
- 12 August 2012
- Topics
- pain, persisting pain, shingles, neuralgia, postherpetic neuralgia, horizant
Responses (1)
Hi ohmyachinashe - I have not tried that one but I want you to know that there are MANY meds that soothe the nerves like Elavil, for instance. A PM Doc could be a good doctor to see, too. That is unless you like the doctor you have. Also, Topimax is another med that is used.
I am sorry I didn't see this question until now. I am assuming you are taking this medication? How is it working for you and are you also taking anything else for pain?
Be well and sorry you are having to deal with this... I know it is quite painful.
Hi Headstarter, Thankyou for your response, I have had PHN for a little over 4 years now. I have tried Lyrica, Baclofen and Nortryptiline {sp} without much relief. I settled on Gabapentin {neurontin} but, the dose that the neurologist had me on was too high to even think about trying to work {3600mg/day} so, I cut it down with the help of my primary doctor. I drive a school bus and can't take any kind of narcotics during the day. I do take hydrocodone at night but, get very little sleep. I wanted to try the Horizant when I was alerted to it's availability but, mt doctor put me on 1 a day and it was totally ineffective and left with with an awful lot of pain throughout the day. I believe the dosage is 2 a day for PHN and called my doctor and had to talk to his nurse who apparently did not give him my message and by then, I had had enough of the ''phone tag'' game and went back on the Gabapentin. I have a Dr. appt.
next week to discuss this drug IN PERSON with my doctor. I will bring up the drugs that you mentioned as well. It is a horrible illness and I am about at the end of my rope. With 28 years of driving bus, I do not think I will see my 30 year retirement. Horizant is classified as a specialty drug and is very expensive, I did not appreciate getting half the dose I should have received, it would have been the same price for 60 pills on my insurance. Now that I have written a book... I will thankyou again Mary!
Hello Beth - You are more than welcome and PLEASE... don't worry about the length of a post. It just takes as long as it takes to get ones point across. I am glad I could give you some suggestions. However, I am sorry you are having to deal with all of this. I have an implant in my spine and the battery is implanted in my buttocks. It is a neuromodulator stimulator which fakes the brain out from feeling pain but instead feels like a soothing tingling feeling. It is kind of like a "Tens Unit", if you have ever seen or used one of those. You could even try a tens unit to see how that might work for you. But the implant has done wonders for me. The idea is to run it as long as you can and then to keep it charged up. It comes with a charger that takes about 15 minutes a day to charge it up. The surgery wasn't bad and the leads for the implant are anchored to your spine. Just a thought for you. Keep posting so I know how you are doing... I am happy to help you as much as I can.
Hello again, I went to pain management and had 3 illingural nerve blocks, 2 select root nerve blocks and was getting ready to have the neurostimulator implanted when the office started billing everything to comp {never was a comp claim} and really screwed me up with my employer and insurance company. They wouldn't fix things and I had to fill out a truck load of paper work with workers comp to refuse billing under comp... ugh, don't even want to think about it. I never went back but, I am glad that this device is working for you. The other problem was, after a psych eval and all, they then told me I couldn't have the device on while I was driving. I needed and still need the pain relief the most while I'm working. Bad time but, it's in the past. Be well,
Hey Beth - I know you drive a bus and YES, that is correct about driving with it OFF. Sudden movements can give you quite the JOLT and you surely don't want that while you are driving. I do keep mine on LOW most of the time and even lower when sleeping because movement of the head backwards increases the PULSES that are felt. They can get real strong if you just roll into bed without thinking about it. I have gotten myself into more trouble because I am too tired to think about readjusting the thing before bed and scream out when I plop down. I will learn... it has already been one year that I have had it. It is still worth a shot for you I think.
HeadStarter, Thanks for taking the time to share that, I wondered how movement affected the device. I haven't ruled it out entirely, just a tad head shy from the last attempt. Sorry to hear that you get zapped at times, especially when you are trying to sleep. You would have to peel me off the ceiling if that happened in the meddle of the night !
It only happens when you first lie down if you haven't adjusted the pulses for lower... then when you are settled in bed... you can readjust the pulses. The rep from the company usually sets the standard settings for standing, sitting and sleeping. I have seen my rep many times to recalibrate the whole system. It really is amazing! Be well and take good care. I hope you do reconsider this. It isn't like you are driving a bus for the whole 8 hours or something, right?

The Gifford Children's Choir just covered Cloud Cult's Transistor Radio. The choir had the permission of Craig Minowa to perform the piece and to make a minor lyric change. Minowa was in contact with the choir and shared his perspective on the song:
"As for the story, this was written for my grandpa whom I was very close to. He passed away unexpectedly from a heart attack when I was 13 years old. He always gave me the best advice. I've felt his presence a lot in my life since then and this song is about one of the best pieces of advice he ever gave me, which is simply that it's not about where you are going or where you have been, it's about where you are. Interestingly, The Show Starts Now was the only other Cloud Cult song inspired by that same piece of advice. "
Children's Choir of teh Internet (also directed by Jack Senzig) appeared on Cloud Cult's song "The Show Start Now" on the album LOVE.
The choir was accompanied by Jeremy Peters of the band Solar Plexus on electric guitar.

Bone density testing is an important service offered by Dr. Wilburn of Genesis Women's Health Services. If you haven't had a chance to see her in action, now is the time to get to know the popular gynecologist. She offers faith-based services to women in the Victorville area year round.
If you need to have a bone density test done, you'll be pleased to know that it's something that Dr. Wilburn often does. She's skilled at what she does, and her rapport puts you at ease through the process. If you don't have a gynecologist in the area to address your health concerns as a woman, make Genesis Women's Health Services your clinic of choice.
Bone density testing is one of the many services that Dr. Wilburn offers her patients. She wants them to know how dense their bones are so they can prevent bone-related diseases such as osteoporosis. It measures the amount of calcium and bone minerals that are contained in different areas of the bone.
Calcium-fortified foods and beverages help. So do supplements. She may suggest that you include both in your daily routine.
There's nothing to be afraid of if you need to get a bone density test done. It could be because of a broken bone you've had in the past. It's a preventative measure that helps you stay strong and healthy as you age.
Dr. Wilburn and staff provide a safe, caring, non-judgmental environment for their patients to visit. It's clean, comfortable, and faith-based which reflects the gynecologist's values and mission. Her practice is well-known throughout the Victorville community, for good reason.
The doctor has spent years caring for women and their health. You're in great hands whenever you visit Dr. Wilburn and Genesis Women's Health Services. It's time that you took charge of your physical health by making bone density testing a priority right away.

Used Cranes for Sale
Buying used cranes can be difficult. There are many factors that will make or break the deal. Once you have found the used crane that you are interested in there are some things to keep in mind.
- Hours on the crane upper and lower
- Condition of the tires
- Any accumulation of dust - this can mean there is a leak present
- Operate the crane (if possible)
- Condition of equipment - outriggers, axles, frame, engines (both upper and lower), planetary gears, etc
- Seller - Is the seller credible?
- Past years maintenance records
- Past years crane inspection paperwork
These are just a few items to look at when you are buying a used crane. To ensure you are getting a proper price you can look around Crane Network, Machinery Trader, Ritchie Brothers auction records, or other sources. Here at Crane Service, Inc when we place a crane for sale we have all the above material checked, inspected, and provide maintenance records for our cranes. Typically the cranes are coming just coming out of our crane rental fleet and are inspected and certified.

Hyundai to Expand i20 Production to Europe

Taking into consideration the structural nature of the crisis the world economy is going through and, therefore, its lasting impact on all stakeholders in the automotive industry, Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) has decided to act pro-actively with structural changes in its organisation to better prepare for tomorrow.
A first example was the recent consolidation of its Design & Engineering functions to a central location in Japan, reflecting a fundamental shift in its long-term product strategy from regional cars to global cars.
Along those lines, MMC proposes to implement a new business model for its European subsidiary, Mitsubishi Motors Europe B.V. (MME). This alignment with MMC's global organisation is meant to better develop MMC's presence in its most important global business region through better efficiencies and a direct connection with the European markets and customers.
As a reminder, what is now MME started as a small liaison office in 1977, based in Rotterdam. Since then, it has grown to a 335 strong operation fulfilling all expected manufacturer's functions in the region, on behalf of MMC. Whilst successful (and non-stop profitable between FY2003 and FY2007), MME sales1 were nonetheless down 18% between CY2007 and CY2008 (from 200, 045 units to 164,462 units) with a further decrease expected for CY2009, in line with forecasts for the industry in the region.
Furthermore, in order to better fulfil its long-term mission, MME should accompany Mitsubishi Motors' strategic shift from being an SUV-focused nameplate to being a supplier of environment-friendly passenger cars / crossovers with a SUV presence - itself pre-empting pro-actively structural changes in market demand.
Translated into business model terms, it is clear that the size and scope of the current MME is no longer suited to both the fundamental evolution of the automotive industry and the strategic re-deployment Mitsubishi Motors has decided to embrace in this new context.
As a result:
After having fulfilled all necessary statutory and other legal requirements, among which the procedure concerning the right of participation of the Works Council, and after implementation, this proposal would unfortunately translate into a reduction of 45% of today's white-collar headcount.
It should be noted that these proposed changes would not affect Mitsubishi Motors' European production hub, NedCar.
This proposal is subject to all necessary statutory and other legal requirements. The said proposal would take effect as soon as the aforementioned has been concluded.

Mon, 14 Feb 2011 17:11:03 GMT —
A pre-trial hearing for an Amarillo father accused of showing his young daughters pornography began Monday, February 14.
We were originally told by an official that his jury trial was set to start today, and reported that, but after speaking with the 47th District Court we found that today's court appearance was a pre-trial hearing.
Jack Buckner is accused of child endangerment for showing his two young daughters porn. Randall County District Attorney James Farren has charged the father with that crime, saying he put his daughters in imminent danger. Buckner argues that he was just teaching the girls sex education.
In 2009, Crystal Buckner of Dallas the girl's mother asked Farren to bring charges against her ex-husband for showing their daughters, who were ages 8 and 9 at the time, the pornography, but there is no law against that. State law says that as long as a parent is present, it is not illegal for kids to view porn.
At that time, before moving forward with the case, Farren sought the opinion of the Attorney General on the matter. That ruling however turned out to be of little help to the district attorney, he was quoted as saying he "didn't think the opinion really addressed the issue."
Forcing Farren to come up with a creative solution on how to proceed with the case. That solution led to the charges of child endangerment for showing the girls a video that Farren argues put them in imminent danger of mental impairment.
In an interview in 2009, the girl's mother said, "Teaching your child about sex education is one thing. Doing what he did at 3 in the morning, drinking, and making them watch it. Making them, when one of them turned away they'd get in trouble- that's not education."

KAPAA, Hawaii (AP) - June 26, 2008 --The Missile Defense Agency says the military's ground-based missile defense system has destroyed a missile launched from an airplane yesterday. It's the first successful test of the system's ability to destroy a warhead that separates from its booster.
The interceptor missile launched off Hawaii on Wednesday had to differentiate between the warhead and the body of the missile before destroying the warhead above the Pacific Ocean.
It was the fifth successful intercept in five attempts since 2005 for the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system.

I've been making The Best Lemon Drop Martini You'll Ever Have for years now.
I've never felt the need to improve upon this recipe, however, it occurred to me a while ago, that I didn't need to improve upon it, and could still enjoy something a little different. It's rather like having strawberry lemonade once in a while. The classic old fashioned lemonade may still be best, but who's keeping score?
Fresh Strawberry Lemon Drop Martini
Ingredients (for one)
- 2 shots Ketel One Citroen Vodka
- juice of 1/2 lemon (fresh Meyer lemons are best)
- 2 or 3 fresh strawberries, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons Baker's (extra-fine) Sugar
- (extra sugar for rimming glass)
Place the chopped strawberries in a small ramekin or cup and crush with the tines of a fork, then stir in 1 teaspoon of sugar. Set aside for about 4 or 5 minutes.
Rub the edge of a martini glass with half a lemon, then dip rim in a bowl of extra fine sugar.
Fill a beverage shaker with ice and add the lemon juice, strawberries, the other teaspoon of sugar and the vodka. Close and shake 50 times, then pour through a small sieve into the prepared martini glass, using the back of a spoon to press the strawberry puree.
Garnish the strawberry lemon drop martini with a strawberry and lemon slice and repeat as needed because everyone's going to want one! (A standard sized shaker can accommodate the ingredients for two drinks at a time.) Cheers!

What is involved?
This involves identifying, measuring and mapping mature trees. The data will be collated into a map – linked spreadsheet that can be used to analyse species distribution across the entire mountain.
Why collect this data?
The data collected allows comparisons of tree species and stages of development across the mountain. Different climate aspects at each plot (such as altitude, sunlight hours, average temperatures) will affect how the trees develop.
Tree Mapping Protocol Document
Tree ID Guides are here: (large format)
Use the tree guides to learn about the trees you might find today. There are laminated tree guides in your equipment bag. USE THEM!
What to do with the tree data?
Enter the data you wrote on your paper data form into the appropriate Google Sheet in this folder [link].
Please be very careful when inputting data. Use TEAM WORK and CHECK YOUR PARTNER when entering data to make sure it is done right.
This data will also be collected using the myObservatory app to record tree type, circumference and GPS location. We need the paper backup in case the app fails.

I am historian of modern America, interested in the intersection of culture and politics--specifically around issues of gender and sexuality. My research focuses on the subjects supposedly not fit for "polite" converation--abortion, sex, religion, politics--because in a functioning democracy, the most controversial issues are often the most important. I believe that it is only through rigorous, sustained scholarly investigation and open dialogue among people of varying worldviews that a productive intellectual cutlure can flourish. More than ever, in our digital age, we are constantly bombarded with information. Studying history helps us turn facts into knowledge and data into narrative. Reading, writing, bringing a critical, contextualized analysis to the world around us--that's what history is. It is hard, but it is also deeply rewarding.

For the first time, astronomers have found water on a comet that's a chemical match for water on Earth, a new study says. The discovery backs up theories that water-rich comets helped fill ancient Earth's oceans.
Planet-formation models indicate that early Earth was much too hot to sustain liquid water on its surface, making the origin of Earth's oceans a mystery.
So scientists speculated that our planet's surface water came from comets that slammed into Earth once the planet had cooled.
This theory was dealt a serious blow in the 1980s, however, due to measurements of the ratio of normal to "semiheavy" molecules—the D/H ratio—in comet water.
In a semiheavy water molecule, one hydrogen atom (H) is replaced with a heftier version called deuterium (D). All water in nature has a D/H ratio, and since deuterium is a very stable atom, this ratio can go unchanged for eons.
Since the 1980s researchers have found that several comets in our solar system have D/H ratios that are very different from that of Earth's water.
Those results indicated that, at best, only about 10 percent of Earth's water could have come from comets, with the rest probably coming from water-rich asteroids, explained study leader Paul Hartogh, an astronomer at the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research in Germany. In the new study, Hartogh and his team used the European Space Agency's Herschel Space Observatory to examine the D/H ratio of the comet 103P/Hartley 2. The results show that Hartley 2's water is very similar to that of Earth.
Hartley 2 is a so-called Jupiter family comet, because its orbit takes the comet close to the orbits of Jupiter and the other gas giants. Importantly, computer simulations suggest that Hartley 2 originated from the Kuiper belt, a region beyond the orbit of Neptune that is filled with comets and other icy remnants from the formation of our solar system.
This would suggest that the larger group of comets that helped form Earth's oceans originally came from the Kuiper belt. (Related: "Three New 'Plutos'? Possible Dwarf Planets Found.")
By contrast, the comets with D/H ratios that didn't match Earth's are thought to have originated in the Oort cloud, a reservoir of billions of comets that astronomers think exists far beyond the Kuiper belt.
